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.
