Amjad Tarsin – Hold Onto Faith

			What this verse teaches us is that
we as people of faith, we might be
		

			in the minority, and this is what
we see around us. In the world
		

			today, we're surrounded by things.
There seems to be a preponderance
		

			of a lack of morality.
Irreverence, being sacrilegious is
		

			popular now people not having that
spiritual muscle of recognizing
		

			what is holy and being able to
have respect and awe and reverence
		

			and veneration for those things
that are beloved to Allah
		

			subhanahu wa it's almost like a
lot of people have lost the
		

			spiritual faculty of being able to
do that. And a lot of that comes
		

			back to the
		

			abundance of things that surround
us that are vile and disgusting,
		

			whether that's immorality, whether
that is oppression, like we see in
		

			Palestine. You know, people are
saying like, I can't believe that
		

			people are not seeing what's going
on, and they're not ashamed. And I
		

			can't believe that there's still,
according to a lot of people,
		

			they're still grossly misinformed.
There are people who think that
		

			the Palestinians are the
perpetrators, right? And it's just
		

			like, How much more do you need in
order to see the truth? But that's
		

			because there's a lot out there.
There's a lot of habif. There are
		

			a lot of forces in the world that
are pushing these things that are
		

			disgraceful and displeasing to
Allah, Subhanahu wa taala, and you
		

			can look at that even as it
relates to morality. Every so
		

			often there's a new ism, there's a
new ism, there's a new movement
		

			around this new quote, unquote
freedom. We want this whole new
		

			level of freedom to do what we
want to do that is completely
		

			unprecedented in human history.
		

			So we as believers is extremely
important, and I'm going to keep
		

			it brief. I want us all to really
get the most important lesson and
		

			principle that we can apply in our
lives from this ayah, that we as
		

			people of belief, even if we're in
the minority, even if everyone in
		

			the world chooses to go against
Allah's revelation that we have to
		

			hold to what is good and true and
pure and wholesome, no matter
		

			what, people might laugh at us,
people might mock us, people might
		

			even be violent, and they might
oppose us with force. But we are
		

			not going to waver from what is
true and good in the sight of
		

			Allah subhanahu wa taala. So even
if we're in the minority, even if
		

			good is rare, even if it's old
fashioned, we hold to it, no
		

			matter how abundant the evil
becomes, and they're not equal in
		

			the side of Allah subhanho wa
taala, a little bit that is good
		

			is pleasing to Allah subhanahu wa
taala, even if the world was
		

			filled with all Different types of
bad things. And Allah teaches us,
		

			wamayata, ILAHA, ya ja, Allahu,
Maharaja. And whoever is mindful
		

			of Allah, Allah will make a way
out for those people.
