Therefore subhanho wa Taala if you Kitabi Majeed

brothers and sisters.

First of all, I Praise Almighty Allah subhana wa Tala. For His

infinite blessings for all of His favours and security and

protection, and prosperity we are enjoying in this country. And may

Allah subhanaw taala continue to shower His mercies on Asar and may

He continue to protect us all.

I bear witness there is none worthy of worship but Allah

subhanho wa Taala the creator and sustainer of the words, I also

bear witness that Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has

been sent as the final messenger. Through him Allah subhanho wa

Taala has completed the revelation, the cycle of prophecy,

and he is the last messenger there is no other messenger to come

after him. So let us

listen to the message and role model ourselves after the example

of the messenger who lived by the message of the Quran. personified

the ideas and the teachings of the Quran in the best way. Today, the

world is going through a crisis, most critical juncture, a lot of

misery, a lot of suffering a lot of the privation this pandemic is

causing misery all over the world. And as Muslims, we have a duty, to

empathize, to develop empathy, because Islam is all about feeling

for humanity. Because humanity is a single soul. You are your nurse

Itakura bacame, a lady Holika Coleman have seen Wahida or

mankind.

Be conscious of your Lord who created you all from a single

soul.

This is repeated throughout in the Quran

to impress upon us that we need to feel

for the suffering for the grief of others.

And this is what Rasulullah sallallahu wasallam role modeled

after in his whole life. He empathize with the suffering

Rasulullah sallallahu sallam said

muscle movement in a fatawa to him Vitara Hobi him but atrophy muscle

just

the example of the believers in their affection for one another in

their empathy and mercy for one another is like a single body

living body. If one part is affected, is suffering, the rest

of the body feels that pain and grieves for it.

And that is why one of the great Sufi masters sadly the poet

philosopher, he said

if any human being is suffering,

and you don't feel that pain within yourself,

you don't deserve to be called a human being.

And he was

representing the spirit of Islam actually. Because all of Islam is

teaching about mercy era hameau to hammer show mercy, your hammer

Mumphrey Laurel show mercy on those two those towards those on

earth so that you can deserve the Mercy of Allah subhanho wa Taala

and there is a beautiful Hadith codici a sacred saying.

Reporter by Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam on behalf of his

Lord, that on the Day of Judgment, Allah Avila

address each one of us.

You have been a dumb son or father, Mario to follow I'm taller

than me. I was sick, but you never bother to visit me.

The man will ask,

How can I visit you you THE LORD OF THE WORDS How can you be sick?

Allah will say

my servant so and so was sick

and yet he did not care to visit him.

Didn't you know if you were to visit him you will find me there

with him.

And then Allah will ask the other item is Tom to confirm to m&e,

son of Adam, I asked for food, I bet for food, but you never care

to give me food.

The man will say, who Allah You are the Lord of divorce? How can I

feed you? How can you be hungry?

Allah will say didn't you know my servant saw and saw was hungry.

And he was asking for food and you did not give him food.

And it goes on to say, didn't you know that? If you were to feed

him, he will find me there with him.

And then escape to go I asked for drink for a drink. And you did not

care to give me a drink.

Didn't you do that if you were to give him a drink, you will find me

there with him. So that is where Rasulullah sallallahu Islam taught

us. You want my pleasure. You want my love. Be with those who are

suffering.

You will find you will you receive you are at the mercy of Allah and

you will receive you will be eligible for my Lao as the

messenger of mercy. The Prophet sallallahu Sallam taught us

always to be with a suffering with the grieving

and you see the beautiful teaching of the Quran. While you take him

on a tour Amara hook be Miss Keenum. We are team on wa Sierra

you know, the believers are those who will feed who will give food

to the mosquito and the orphan and the prisoner, even though they

themselves are in dire need of that food.

And you know, the best person know, applied this teaching was

none other than the daughter of Rasulullah sallallahu wasallam

Fatima, the beloved daughter of Rasulullah sallallahu

because they were prisoners of war, Bush rekeyed, who had fought

against Rasulullah Salallahu Salam, and they were prisoners,

and the Muslims did not have much to give. So they were starving.

And when Fatima heard that, and you know what she did? She

sacrifice, she gave the only food she had been she had to the

prisoner of war. So this is the idea that Islam teaches us. Of

course, you and I cannot be expected to go that high. We

should strive for it. But yet,

the lesson we should learn is there is no we cannot afford to be

wasteful. We cannot afford to squander the resources

when the world needs it, but the poor millions of the world are

suffering. Today, the pandemic has taken a big heavy toll on

millions.

Here also it has brought suffering. So how do we show how

to reverse trade the profit the company profit was always always

his eyes, flowing with tears whenever he showed the poor,

emaciated.

The greatest teaching lesson of fasting, as our scholars say one

of the greatest builders that needs to develop empathy. Empathy

is not sympathy it is to feel for what the other person is going

through. Because he's part of you to put yourself into his in his

shoes and try to experience and Islam teaches that through

compulsory fasting, rich and poor poor, we must go through that

hunger and thirst which the millions are going through, day in

and day out.

In this way Islam want to teach us empathy, how to develop that

empathy in a practical way.

And there are a lot of things Islam the Prophet demonstrated,

how did he develop that empathy, he developed our empathy. First of

all by listening, by sitting with those, you read about a salary

salaam, he was always sitting with the poor and the weak and the

oppressed. And the same was the example of Rasulullah Salallahu

Salam used to Allah order sin, to sit with them to sit with Bilad

and Salmaan. And Sahib, they were, they were the weakest of the

society at the time, by sitting with them, you know, their

concern, your anxieties, you will listen to them. And Prophet was

always listening to the maids, you know, the poorest, the weakest

section of modern society, and so dramatically alongside that

prophet would listen to the made any made in Medina, they would

approach Rasulullah Salallahu Salam, he was always accessible to

her to them. And he would tell them,

let me know where you want to come to meet and listen to you, I will

be there. And he would sit as long as she wanted, listening to the

grievances. And the professor of ours, remember that he was

suffering any minutes as well.

Tears, they were shedding tears in front of Rasulullah sallallahu

sallam, he empathize with them. He embolize with the with the boy who

lost his pet bird and he shed tears. So this is the example of

the Messenger of mercy. Today the world is suffering, the world is

grieving.

Even in the peak of victory, you know, when the lands were conquer,

a Buddha was crying, one of the great companions of the Prophet

sallallahu wasallam. They were asked, they asked him, Why are you

crying? This is the time to rejoice, said you know I am

crying, because look at the suffering they are going through

because as soon as they have committed and you know, it may

visit us too. So empathize. Put yourself because they are in this

because of the sins they have committed. And we may also be your

humble biller empathize the people who are suffering.

So, this empathizing with a sinner says, Well, you don't feel proud,

self righteous, I am better. This is the lesson the Prophet taught.

A man saw a sinner and said, cursed him. Allah subhanaw taala

so you are you to curse him?

He thought he is he's doing better, better than he better than

him. Allah subhanaw taala said, I forgive him, and I will punish

you. Because we are supposed to empathize with the sinners with

the weak and the vulnerable, and pray have mercy on them. And that

is why Rasulullah sallallahu wasallam when he was asked to

curse, the Mushrikeen, who fought against him, he said, I am not

sent to curse in Mr. Bursch to Ramadan. I have been sent by Allah

subhanaw taala as a mercy. So Allah homonuclear Kobe Allah,

guide them to the straight path for in the Himalaya, whoo, because

they are doing all these things out of ignorance. So this is the

time for Muslims to show that empathy and develop start with

your person, the weak and the suffering and do everything we did

our means join we need to put ourselves in their shoes. We need

to we shake this preconceived prejudices, stereotypes, you know,

we are all part of that one human family. So even though your

neighbor is a Christian or a Hindu or war, put yourself in your

shoes. This is what Rasulullah sallallahu sallam said, you know

one, actually you and you know this, this one clan, known as

Ashley Yun came to Medina.

They were Mushrikeen at that time, they did not yet embrace Islam.

The Prophet Welcome to the man said, I am from them and they are

from me. Why? Because they have this great trait of character,

that when they are when they are poor, we are facing drought and

famine. What they will do, everyone will bring whatever

provision they have at this one common table of mercy and they

will eat every one of them partake from it equally. So the Prophet

said, they are from me, I am from them.

This is the teaching of Rasulullah Salallahu Salam

Today, we need to pray for for the suffering humanity. We need to

feel the pain of, of those who are going through suffering. And we

need to be motivating ourselves to initiate projects, and work

wherever whatever projects are there, no matter who initiated it.

What our ability what Taqwa cooperate on virtue, cause of

virtue and piety and goodness,

everyone doing something good, be part of it, endorse it, no matter

whether he is a Christian or a Hindu or a Jew, who he may be,

because we are one, the members of the human family, we need to care

for one another. We need to support each other. We need to

pray a love to Allah subhanaw taala for one another. This is the

message. Of course, there are various ways of developing the

somebody's ready to start without children role model and study and

let them know how to develop that. Teach them how to you know, donate

from their allowance, to the cost of the poor and the refugees and

also always make a habit of praying for them, praying for

others, the second the suffering and those who are passed away. Of

course, the Holy Father was taught for Allahu Allah.
