We Stand Tallest

For the last couple of years, and certainly from October 2023 onwards,

the term de humanisation or an Arabic attendee Domina insanity year

has been thrown about a lot.

And for good reason.

Since this time, our children particularly have been exposed to narratives

that a lot of them have not experienced before.

They are seeing scenes of bloodshed, and cruelty and double standards that they have never experienced.

A lot of our children are hearing references to us as being and I quote, human animals since the onslaught and genocide on Russia.

They have heard expressions, and I quote, The children of darkness, referring to us as people who abide by the law of the jungle.

They have seen how

the colors of the Israeli flag

are shone on the White House in solidarity and tribute, with those killed

in the Israeli entity, though not a word of condemnation is uttered when 1000s are systematically killed,

or maimed or tortured, starved. And in recent cases, we come to hear of rape as well. No one talks of this, our children are exposed to those narratives.

The year the spokesman of the Israeli Air Force saying that our priority is maximum damage, not accuracy.

And they hear the president of the Israeli entity saying there is no such thing as an innocent Palestinian civilian. All of them are legitimate targets. They make references to the anally or in English we call them they call them the Analects. Meaning therefore, that male man and woman, child animal are all legitimate targets, and the international community nods in approval.

Our children are hearing stark differences in language used in the media, where Israelis are killed, but the Palestinians they just die.

They hear of the routine expression of mowing the grass, in reference to the periodic onslaughts of the Israeli entity on the people of Gaza, they say it's mowing the grass, therefore comparing them to weeds that need to be cut back every now and then.

Our children are hearing this.

Our children are also seeing how Muslim voices and Palestinians and their likes are being represented in such a biased way by the media. They see how you are only allowed to speak in the media and will only be respected. If you're there to speak about your suffering, your pain, you must only be a victim.

But don't you dare be an analyst. Don't you dare claim to be a professional. Don't you dare claim to have an opinion or be an expert. You only speak about your suffering and then you leave. And you also need to be the perfect victim. The perfect victim meaning before you will be respected by the presenter, you need to offer a whole host of condemnations to whoever it may be before then you will be given a few minutes of airtime.

The humanization is the name for a process whereby human beings are deemed as sub human and treated accordingly.

Similar to how the Jews experienced this at the hands of the Nazis when they were deemed as subhuman or how the colonizers deemed the natives of those areas as savages. And the purpose of dehumanization is to create a mall and an emotional disconnect so that you don't feel sorry, when the ethnic cleansing or the genocide happens at an industrial scale. This is the purpose beneath all of what I have just introduced is something in my eyes equally troubling and equally problematic.

The impact that this type of exposure is having on our children.

When with the passage of time seeing enough bloodshed, enough killing enough children blown to pieces, enough news of Muslims who are starving enough

Double standards of the application of international law, one law for this group and this law for another, the impact this has on our children, when they begin to slowly accept that this is perhaps who we are.

Perhaps this is what we are worthy of. Perhaps indeed, we are subhuman, as Gideon Levy, he said, an Israeli journalist in the Israeli newspaper called Haaretz who said

that to most Israelis, the Palestinians are not just subhuman. They are sub animal. He said the 30,000 fatalities in hazard to date to them are just a number. Nothing more.

What is this having? What type of impact is this having upon your child and mine?

A few weeks ago I saw my child I five year old, the youngest walking around with his arms out of his sleeves, flapping the sleeves.

I said Baba, what are you doing?

He said to me, I'm just trying to imagine how I'm going to feel when I am bombed. And I lose my arms like my cousins in Russia.

And though as parents we try very hard to shield their eyes and shield their is from cone constant exposure to brutality, but how much can you do when most of their family has gone?

So I asked the question again, what type of impact is happening on them is this having on them? When with the passage of time, you begin to accept that this is a portrayal of reality. This is my identity, I must accept it. I will not be enraged by a media bias. I will not be enraged by the sight of blood, it is normal to see Muslim children or Arabs or their likes being killed.

And this is an inferior a mother can never lead if it grows with this type of mentality.

So with this in mind, my brother, my sister, I want to share with you a quick tour of ayaat and a hadith to reintroduce ourselves to ourselves.

Who are you as a Muslim? In the eyes of the maker of the universe? Away from the opinions of men, away from the descriptions of the BBC or CNN or Channel Four?

Who are you in the eyes of the king al Malik the sovereign Allah? And what does it mean to be part of the ummah of Prophet Muhammad Ali Salatu was Salam. For those of us who only see themselves through the lens of the media. Come with me for a moment my dear brother, as I share with you these beautiful narrations on a tour of self discovery

and for you to know who you truly are.

Allah Jalla Jalla Allahu he said come to Maha your own meeting oak reject the nurse you all Muslims are the best of communities ever raised for humanity.

So you are the people chosen by Allah Jalla Jalla Allahu my brother, you, you know the way and you go their way. And you show the way. It is for this area that you just heard, how Allah has chosen us why genocidal tool doesn't appear in our column in our rhetoric. Why racism is not part of our dictionary. Why we are the people who always included the minorities and save them from persecution, a chapter in our history that we are proud of. This is why we pardoned when we had the upper hand, why we don't have anything in our scripture that encourages the targeting of children, because this is the character of a leader.

A leading nation does not talk like this and we are the ones chosen by Allah and given the mandate entrusted with the welfare of humanity while your own matching Oconee Jacqueline nurse that is you.

If no matter generates on the authority of Malawi and push it,

Now, he said if the people of the heavens and all of the people on the earth were to gather to kill a single believer Allah would not hesitate to toss them all into the hellfire. This is your position in the eyes of Allah. Allah Allah who can take that away.

And for those of us who are still not sure about who we truly are, we you will come to know towards the end of time when I You said Jesus son of Mary Allah He said I will descend, as the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam described them prophesized, he told us how he will descend from the heavens at a time known to Allah wearing his beige robe. It's fine hair, glistening, as though pearls were dropping from his head. allihies Salatu was Salam, his hands is resting on the wings of angels.

Ask yourself my dear brother, my dear sister, a series of questions.

Ask yourself the question.

What way of life what system what religion out there is it that opens its doors for all people of all backgrounds? To embrace its fold should they wish to choose? Choose so if not Islam?

Which religion has yomo Juma? The day on Friday, that is our day. The greatest day of the week was given to us though it was offered two nations before us. Allah chose us for the day of Juma. We are the ones whom Allah has blessed with solitude, Asia, no other nation pranks on each other in chat that is unique to us. Allah has gifted you with Leila to cover a night that is better than 80 years of a bad edit to your scales. No other nation had that. We are the people who Salah whose prayer resembles the form of the angels they pray like we do.

Your mo piano however this will be when we will realize the true value of a Muslim.

there when the sun hangs dangerous below one mile above your head and the first of and the last of humanity are gathered in a single expanse of land.

And man will flee from his wife and siblings from one another and prophets and messengers from their nations fear, terror, uncertainty will be the mood of the hour.

And then paradise and hellfire are laid bare for humanity to see their two destinations. Then when it's time, Allah Almighty will descend in a manner that is befitting of his majesty and glory to begin that

judgment amidst all of this announcement is made, narrated on the authority of Abdullah hypnotic bass that the messenger Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, for either the Allahu Allah and Yassa or the inner humpy when Allah decides that it is time to begin the judgment between people on the day of reckoning nerd who nod a call or will call uh you know

where is Mohammed and his ummah.

He said for national ASCII rune and alone, therefore we are the last and we are the first he said, we are the last nation to walk the earth, but we will be the first for Allah Almighty to relieve us from the pain of the Day of Judgment.

And then he said, Imagine, for two frogs, Julian and OMA more interesting than the nations of the world. When they hear our name being called out, they will split into two parts, their nations will split into two parts, creating a path he said, For numbly, what a run Maha Jelenia mean, as a real world who are being asked to who and we will cross between the nations making our way to our Lord, and they will be observing us with the light emanating from our faces and our hands, radiant with the light. And then the nations will say in awe and amazement card at Hurley, who are metal and takuna and be Hakuna Ha, that nation was almost profits in its entirety.

That nation you was almost prophets in its entirety. That day, you will know what your value is and what your value was before Allah subhanho wa Taala not as what was described by this agency or that then the Prophet of Allah and who will stand before Allah for his interrogation, Allah will ask him hell believe that you convey your message to your people he will say Yes my Lord I conveyed then Allah will turn to the people of nor did he convey the message and they will lie and they will see Mad Yeah, and I mean, uh, you know Warner ever came to us, no messenger was sent, they want to save their necks from jahannam. So Allah will say to know how they he said on many who will testify for

you who will support your case? He will say Mohammed will metal Mohammed and his community will testify that I conveyed. So Allah will bring us and He will ask us and we will say perfect no has conveyed to his people. Oh Allah.

You are a witness for the Prophets and Messengers on Yeoman piano. That is your status. Why walk in the street with your head down in shame and disgrace? This is your position, raise your children upon these meetings. Then the bridge is established on the back of Jahannam who will be the first to cross I wonder?

Why you durable Serato they never hang Jahannam for a coup. I know what a woman Youjizz

He said Be bridge will be established on the back of Johanna and I and my own mo will be the first nation to cross over into Jana.

And there is another surprise waiting for the believer.

When we discover that amongst us, there are around 70,000 Who will be chosen just from this ummah, to enter Jannah with no suffering or accountability

to be venerates on the authority of Abu mana, the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he said

Why don't Europe be and you'd Hillel Jana 10 Min almighty?

Sabrina alfen Lucky Saba Eileen him Allah. Allah has promised me that on the day of judgment, He will nominate 70,000 From my Alma to enter Jannah with no suffering, no accountability.

They said we would be he said well, Lodi, UNIF see beauty in Isla Ave anticodon and this for average gender, I swear by Allah who possesses my life, I hope that you will be half of the people of gender.

In conclusion, my brother, my sister, and I leave you with this. Raise your children with these meanings, raise their morale. Raise your children to be people of morality and virtue and dignity in this depraved world of ours.

Don't allow your children to see themselves despite the brutality and the normalization of killing, don't allow your children to see themselves in any light other than what I just described for you.

It is normal that an OMA like ours will experience adversity and genocide and ethnic cleansing and killing, it's normal we are to expect this we are the leaders of humanity.

So when Allah subhana wa Taala sees that we as Muslims are not leading humanity at any time in the period of history. Allah will set send this painful events to shock us and to jolt us back onto the path of leadership that Allah intends. Raise your children and remind them it's the finest of people who are tested in life. Tell them this.

Tell your child that it is the finest of metals that experienced the fiercest of fires.

Tell them how it is the brightest lights in life that draw the deepest shadows. Tell them how it is the tree that is filled with fruits that attracts stones.

Tell them how precious things in life are challenged, they are not ignored.

We are attracting adversity not because we are weak, but because we are loving. This is how they see us. So you must see yourself in the exact same light
