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 myself call Makaha MyTheo what will kill a Yamanaka we do have a nurse Well, yeah, and I'm Allahu 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 defeated. Its external enemies throughout history. We ask Allah subhana wa Tada to give us the strength and to give us the resolve and ask ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala to give us the ability to be good, strong believers for the sake of Allah on the teaching of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam on the path of his companions and on the path of all the Saudi Hien for the Day of Judgment, Allah my feeling what Medina wouldn't want me not and Muslim in our Muslim Matt, Allah here.
