00:01:42 --> 00:01:45
			Dear beloved brothers and sisters in Islam.
		
00:01:46 --> 00:02:09
			There are times that we personally, individually might feel that we are going through times of
weakness. And there are certainly times that we might feel that our nation our Ummah, is going
through a period of weakness.
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:15
			And that feeling
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:21
			might seep might find its way into
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:24
			our hearts sometime.
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:30
			And that might weaken the resolve.
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:34
			And
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:39
			the might weaken the ability
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:42
			to do things.
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:50
			And Allah subhanho wa Taala warns us in the Quran,
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:54
			over and over again
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:58
			against weakness,
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:01
			against
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:08
			feeling, that lack of resolve that lack of determination
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:11
			in our hearts
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:17
			because that will affect our actions and what we do.
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:32
			The messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam emphasized and more Minonk Kawi Hi Iran what a hobble
Allah means remote minute by if he couldn't hire
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:40
			the strong believer is better and more beloved to Allah subhanho wa Taala
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:42
			than the weak one.
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:52
			And all this scholars agree that what is being referred to is not a physical strength.
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:56
			It is a strength of resolve.
		
00:03:57 --> 00:04:02
			It is an internal strength. It's the strength of Eman.
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:05
			It's the strength of our pizza.
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:14
			Allah subhanho wa Taala says, while they're taking you while you will Entomol Allah don't
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:23
			don't feel that you are the lowest. Don't feel that you are down.
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:29
			And don't be saddened and you are
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:34
			the higher ones you are the upper you have the upper hand
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:53
			In Kuntum meaning a conditional sentence says if you are believers, yam says Come Carranza cut

livina I'm Manu.
		
00:04:55 --> 00:05:00
			If you are afflicted, by Cora by by an affliction by
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03
			harmed by a problem
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:09
			then other people, the others have also been afflicted by the same
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:15
			and so are the days in turns amongst people.
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:21
			And Allah will reveal the true believers
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:33
			the believers will be shown in times of weakness,
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:39
			the ones that have the strong faith, we'll float to the top
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:46
			the leadership
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:54
			with Abu Bakr and Omar, an Earth man and ally and Abu al Bayda, emerged,
		
00:05:55 --> 00:06:18
			not in times when the Muslims were in their pinnacle, and they had victorious conquests all over the
world, it emerged in times of weakness. It emerged in times when the believers the early community
of the Sahaba Ridwan Allahu La him
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:26
			were in their worst conditions were in their weakest times.
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:34
			That's when the stars of our OMA shined, the brightest.
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:46
			Well, yeah, and I'm Hola Hola, Xena, Manu, because Allah reveals the brightest stars at the darkest
time of the night.
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:54
			So how do we
		
00:06:56 --> 00:07:04
			go to that generation? Go to that teaching, go to that source?
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:09
			And get from that strength and learn
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:15
			in times of weakness, and in times of adversity?
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:17
			How to
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:24
			strengthen our resolve, how to become strong,
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:27
			not going to say how to become strong again.
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:31
			But how to become strong?
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:40
			Where does the strength of the believer come from? What are the sources
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:43
			of strength
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:47
			amongst the believers,
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:50
			the first of it
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:54
			is our faith in Allah subhanho wa Taala
		
00:07:56 --> 00:08:00
			and our faith and Allah as aloha
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:05
			and our faith and reliance on him
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:13
			that whatever the situation is
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:17
			ad hoc,
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:20
			always the most high.
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:26
			There will always gives us that will always give us
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:28
			strength.
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:38
			Allah says what culture and HACCP was adopted in Alberta, Canada hookah
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:41
			when he comes,
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:45
			bottle goes away.
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:49
			Anything else?
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:51
			The untruth,
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:55
			the opposite of harp button
		
00:08:57 --> 00:09:07
			will perish. And then Allah says in Alberta, Canada, hookah that is the nature of battle, that is
the nature of anything other than
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:12
			the just an affair cause
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:16
			that it is weak.
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:21
			So when you feel weak, we should ask ourselves
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:25
			the question that Irma Radi Allahu and
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:33
			with the Ask the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in times when the Muslims would feel weak.
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:35
			He would say I
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:50
			rasool Allah and Allah Barton. Are we on the right are we on hack or not? If you're on hop,
Illuminati, dedhia Tala de Nina. If we are on the truth, why do we have to let our heads down?
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:57
			How can we
		
00:09:59 --> 00:09:59
			feel weak
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:03
			If we are only on the side of hack
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:15
			if justice truthfulness and the right position if we stick into that
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:20
			that is the source of our strength
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:29
			another source
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:36
			that gives us resolve and strength is our knowledge
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:41
			that ALLAH SubhanA water either
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:44
			is always in charge
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:50
			and ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:54
			ordained for everything to happen
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:02
			Wallah who yeah and I'm one time letter Allah moon
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:05
			and Allah knows but we don't know
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:08
			there are things that happen
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:13
			that we cannot understand
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:29
			but we know that Allah Subhana Allah allowed it to happen. And Allah subhanho wa Taala either
ordained for it to happen and Allah Subhana Allah Allah planned for it to happen and Allah has the
best planners
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:36
			and we cannot judge
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:43
			how this is going to end
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:51
			it is as if given the analogy well Illa Hill method will Allah, if someone is reading
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:59
			a book, and they're on chapter five, and they see what happens there.
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:11
			And they see a tragedy in chapter five. And they close the book and they see this is how it ends.
And the book is actually ends in chapter 40.
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:21
			We don't know what Allah Subhana Allah is plan is his plan
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:26
			may go beyond our lifetime
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:30
			and it often does.
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:34
			When Miss Harbin or male
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:37
			fell
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:43
			to his wounds on the battlefield of God
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:48
			as a martyr as a Shaheed
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:53
			the last thing he knew,
		
00:12:54 --> 00:13:02
			according to the narration, that the Muslims are being defeated, and the messenger sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam has been killed
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:10
			and that did not change at all.
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:14
			The way Musab was fighting for the sake of Allah
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:18
			did not weaken his resolve
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:24
			did not change the outlook
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:41
			when he was narrated, that he uttered those words, well man Mohammed on Ihlara Sulan. Got Harlequin
copy here Russell as a matter of color become
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:47
			nothing changes.
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:52
			If we go through periods and times of difficulty,
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:59
			our image of our hero our Eman of what is to come
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:05
			will give us the strength will give us that belief
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:10
			and our Eman
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:15
			that no one can do anything
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:17
			to harm us.
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:25
			Except for what Allah subhana wa Taala has already ordained upon us.
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:41
			Brothers and sisters this is a fact of Eman this is part of our Arpita of our creed as Muslims. It
is actually the sixth
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:45
			article of Immanuel Immanuel we'll cover.
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:55
			color you see banner, inner maquettes of Allahu lenah who were Mowlana while Allah He fell yet what
can you tell me noon?
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:59
			Allah says say
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:11
			Nothing will happen to us except what Allah has already ordained, or what Allah subhanaw taala has
written for us.
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:14
			He is our Mola.
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:18
			He is our master
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:23
			and on him, let the believers rely
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:33
			the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would tell him
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:39
			that if this entire unmad This entire world
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:43
			gathered to harm you,
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:48
			to hurt you, with something with anything,
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:55
			that Allah subhanho wa Taala hasn't already ordained that will happen to you, they will not be able
to.
		
00:15:58 --> 00:15:59
			And if this entire world
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:12
			tried to benefit you bring you something good that Allah Subhana Allah hasn't already given to you.
They will not be able to
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:17
			that Eman, that belief
		
00:16:20 --> 00:16:21
			wouldn't make you strong.
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:24
			Wouldn't make me strong
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:28
			would make us not fear anyone
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:32
			would make us not be afraid of anything.
		
00:16:34 --> 00:16:37
			And not put our heads down for anyone
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:47
			in fear or in greed, or to ask anyone for anything
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:54
			except Allah subhanho wa Taala is in his hands everything
		
00:16:56 --> 00:17:00
			Hi ask ye as the ones that have nothing
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:06
			and turn away from the one
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:09
			and Malik that has everything
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:17
			our strength as believers
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:41
			come from within. And if our resolve is strong, then our actions are strong. But we cannot have
actions brothers and sisters. If the strength doesn't come from the inside a corner matters my own
was stopped for Allah Allah the malua con fair foes I'm suffering please come forward and make room
in the back.
		
00:17:57 --> 00:17:58
			Beginning
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:15
			hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa salatu salam ala Muhammad wa ala alihi wa sahbihi H mine
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:20
			the actions of the heart that make a strong
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:26
			we spoke about in the first hotbar but there are two actions
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:30
			that will make us strong
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:33
			that we can do
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:37
			that will make us strong
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:40
			as a community and
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:42
			as an ummah.
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:50
			And that is our belief, that enamel miuna.
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:57
			Eman who will who attend Islamia to believe that we are
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:01
			true brethren in Islam
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:06
			that we belong to each other
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:09
			to have each other's back
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:16
			to be the owner that Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam described
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:24
			the owner when one part hurts, the rest of the Ummah is feeling the pain and fever
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:28
			that is a strong Oma.
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:39
			That is a strong body. And Allah says Well, let me show you what does her body hokum do not have
conflicts do not call
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:43
			for tough shall do you will fail and you don't have
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:48
			to worry that your strength will dissipate.
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:52
			Personally person will be Hadley Leahy, Jamie and Walter.
		
00:19:53 --> 00:19:59
			Hang on to the rope of Allah. It's everything that make you different. Your color your
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:12
			Your language, there is one thing that will put you all together and that is hebbal Allah wa
possiamo will be heavily LA, the rope of Allah subhana wa Tada it is uniting
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:24
			element that brings the yellow, the black, the white, the Arab, the Indian, the American, the
whatever together
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:28
			have you Allah hint Mateen
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:34
			and as long as our eyes
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:39
			are on that rope, we are strong.
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:45
			But if our eyes are anything else, we are weak.
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:48
			And the second thing
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:51
			is to strengthen our sub.
		
00:20:54 --> 00:21:04
			Well, my bodies are beautiful off. Even if we don't have the ability to persevere and endure the
messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said,
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:11
			just work on it, pretend that you can, and Allah subhanaw taala will give it to you.
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:15
			That is the way
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:18
			of the believers.
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:20
			And that is the way
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:22
			to get through
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:29
			times of difficulty, adversity and weakness.
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:31
			Brothers and sisters,
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:37
			Allah made Islam the final message,
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:42
			the message of truth, the universal message to mankind.
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:47
			And Islam will not be defeated.
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:54
			Pat Buchanan, who was a presidential candidate at one time,
		
00:21:56 --> 00:22:02
			and he is in a conservative populist. He wrote a book right after 911.
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:09
			And he said we cannot be at war with Islam, because Islam is invincible.
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:14
			Islam cannot be defeated.
		
00:22:16 --> 00:22:19
			Islam at its core, cannot be defeated.
		
00:22:21 --> 00:22:22
			By when Muslims
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:32
			leave Islam teachings and leave the rope of Allah subhana wa Tada. We can easily be defeated.
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:38
			So let's hold on to that. Hold on to the things that will make us strong.
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:42
			Because the enemies of Islam are too many.
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:45
			And we feel
		
00:22:46 --> 00:23:02
			the pressure, we feel the attack. And it's not up to them. It's really up to us. Islam was never at
risk and in danger of any external enemy.
		
00:23:03 --> 00:23:04
			Islam always
		
00:23:07 --> 00:23:52
			had the risk internally. We always had the problems when we had internal division and Islam always
