The second coming of Christ is a recurring event, but the church has underestimated its significance.

Brothers and Sisters

00:00:05--> 00:00:07

Prophet Jesus

00:00:09--> 00:00:11

as I lay Salam

00:00:15--> 00:00:16

represents

00:00:18--> 00:00:22

the bond are the link between

00:00:24--> 00:00:25

the three

00:00:26--> 00:00:27

last

00:00:29--> 00:00:32

versions of Islam.

00:00:34--> 00:00:38

The third, Islam being the true version of

00:00:41--> 00:00:43

Christianity,

00:00:45--> 00:00:46

a distortion

00:00:47--> 00:00:49

and Judaism

00:00:51--> 00:00:52

a distortion

00:00:54--> 00:00:58

though in its roots, Judaism was Islam

00:01:01--> 00:01:07

as in the roots of Christianity, as Jesus taught it, that was Islam.

00:01:10--> 00:01:14

Jesus represents the link between all three

00:01:19--> 00:01:21

he is known as the Messiah.

00:01:24--> 00:01:31

And the Jews, were waiting for the Messiah to come.

00:01:33--> 00:01:37

But when he came, he didn't come

00:01:38--> 00:01:39

as they

00:01:40--> 00:01:45

expected him to come, or as they wanted him to come.

00:01:48--> 00:01:49

And so they rejected him

00:01:51--> 00:01:53

and said he had not yet come.

00:01:54--> 00:02:03

And until today, the Orthodox Jews are waiting for the coming of the Messiah.

00:02:05--> 00:02:14

The modern Jews, liberal Jews, they have reinterpreted what Messiah means

00:02:16--> 00:02:19

to be something other than

00:02:20--> 00:02:21

a human being,

00:02:22--> 00:02:24

or Jesus.

00:02:27--> 00:02:28

The Christians

00:02:29--> 00:02:34

believe that the Messiah came, Jesus,

00:02:35--> 00:02:36

the son of Mary,

00:02:38--> 00:02:40

and they believe that He died

00:02:41--> 00:02:42

for their sins

00:02:45--> 00:02:47

and was taken up into heaven.

00:02:49--> 00:02:54

And that he currently sits on the right hand of God.

00:02:57--> 00:02:58

This is their beliefs

00:03:01--> 00:03:03

and to complicate their belief,

00:03:05--> 00:03:07

they claim that he

00:03:08--> 00:03:10

was the son of God.

00:03:12--> 00:03:17

And to further complicated, they claim that he was God.

00:03:21--> 00:03:23

How he ended up sitting beside himself

00:03:25--> 00:03:28

is difficult to imagine or explain.

00:03:30--> 00:03:31

But that is their belief.

00:03:34--> 00:03:38

And they believe that he will return

00:03:40--> 00:03:41

he will return

00:03:44--> 00:03:46

and rule the world

00:03:47--> 00:03:49

from Jerusalem.

00:03:52--> 00:03:59

As the Jews believe that the Messiah was to come and rule the world from Jerusalem

00:04:04--> 00:04:05

and Muslims

00:04:07--> 00:04:12

believe that Jesus was the Messiah, he came

00:04:14--> 00:04:17

but he was not killed. He didn't die.

00:04:19--> 00:04:20

They thought they killed him.

00:04:22--> 00:04:24

But Allah lifted him up.

00:04:27--> 00:04:31

And we believe he will also return.

00:04:34--> 00:04:36

So there is this

00:04:38--> 00:04:45

convergence of views concerning the second coming of Christ.

00:04:46--> 00:04:50

The Messiah, for the Jews is the first coming.

00:04:51--> 00:04:57

Christians it's the second and for Muslims. It's also the second

00:05:01--> 00:05:02

For Muslims,

00:05:04--> 00:05:11

we have those who denied the Second Coming of Jesus.

00:05:14--> 00:05:17

Because they said, Muhammad

00:05:19--> 00:05:21

Sallallahu sallam was the last messenger.

00:05:24--> 00:05:28

So if we accept that Jesus is coming, then he is after Muhammad.

00:05:31--> 00:05:36

So it's a difficult thing to wrap your head around. So the easy ways to say he's not coming.

00:05:39--> 00:05:44

Or, as Mirza Ghulam Ahmed said, It's me

00:05:51--> 00:05:55

the truth of the matter, of course, is that as Muslims,

00:05:57--> 00:06:00

we believe, he will return.

00:06:03--> 00:06:07

But he is not a new messenger of God.

00:06:09--> 00:06:12

Allah has him return

00:06:14--> 00:06:19

and complete his life cycle and die on the earth.

00:06:23--> 00:06:31

And the issues concerning him will end at that point, he is one of the signs of the Last Day,

00:06:33--> 00:06:35

the end of this world.

00:06:37--> 00:06:45

And before his coming, the Prophet sallahu wa sallam informed us of

00:06:46--> 00:06:48

the coming of the mahadi.

00:06:51--> 00:06:53

One from is Omar

00:06:55--> 00:06:56

who would

00:06:57--> 00:06:59

lead Muslims

00:07:02--> 00:07:02

in a

00:07:03--> 00:07:05

world war,

00:07:07--> 00:07:08

again against

00:07:10--> 00:07:14

what was referred to as Rome they represented the West

00:07:16--> 00:07:19

Western civilization, its forces

00:07:22--> 00:07:23

would clash

00:07:24--> 00:07:25

and what

00:07:26--> 00:07:29

Christians referred to as Armageddon.

00:07:33--> 00:07:39

And those forces from the West would be defeated

00:07:41--> 00:07:44

under the leadership of the Mati

00:07:47--> 00:07:48

And

00:07:49--> 00:07:51

during his reign

00:07:55--> 00:08:00

the world would be filled with justice,

00:08:01--> 00:08:06

he would establish justice across the world.

00:08:09--> 00:08:10

However,

00:08:12--> 00:08:13

before

00:08:14--> 00:08:17

the conclusion of his reign,

00:08:19--> 00:08:20

after

00:08:21--> 00:08:22

the battle,

00:08:23--> 00:08:25

referred to as Armageddon

00:08:29--> 00:08:31

the de Jarl will come

00:08:33--> 00:08:37

and mercy at the job, the Antichrist

00:08:39--> 00:08:45

the Antichrist was found in Christian literature

00:08:47--> 00:08:50

and the books of the New Testament.

00:08:55--> 00:08:58

However, their description of him

00:09:00--> 00:09:01

is confused.

00:09:04--> 00:09:05

It is

00:09:09--> 00:09:11

unintelligible

00:09:13--> 00:09:16

it leaves room for much speculation.

00:09:19--> 00:09:20

However,

00:09:21--> 00:09:24

since Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam

00:09:26--> 00:09:28

was the last messenger of Allah.

00:09:32--> 00:09:33

And he informed us

00:09:35--> 00:09:45

that the greatest trial that humankind would face was that of the Antichrist Mercia at the job.

00:09:48--> 00:09:58

And Jesus spoke of is coming, and so did Moses and the prophets before all the prophets inform their followers of His coming

00:10:00--> 00:10:04

But since Muhammad sallahu wa sallam was to be the last

00:10:06--> 00:10:09

the description which he gave him, the Jarl

00:10:11--> 00:10:13

was crystal clear.

00:10:15--> 00:10:20

It leaves no room for somebody to come along and say

00:10:22--> 00:10:24

it's America

00:10:27--> 00:10:29

or it's the television

00:10:31--> 00:10:33

or the internet.

00:10:35--> 00:10:37

We do have people saying that

00:10:39--> 00:10:45

but they don't know the deen. There are people ignorant of the

00:10:46--> 00:10:50

texts, the authentic texts of the deen

00:10:51--> 00:10:55

which make it very clear as to who

00:10:56--> 00:10:58

the child is.

00:11:01--> 00:11:03

Even in the time of the Prophet sallallahu wasallam

00:11:05--> 00:11:07

there was an individual

00:11:09--> 00:11:11

by the name of Eben Sajjad

00:11:13--> 00:11:19

who was suspected to have been the dead John.

00:11:22--> 00:11:25

And the prophets I send them went with Omar Amnon kebab,

00:11:26--> 00:11:29

to visit him to see him.

00:11:31--> 00:11:32

And he had told him

00:11:36--> 00:11:39

to say, the Shahada.

00:11:43--> 00:11:45

And that

00:11:46--> 00:11:50

youth he was a small boy at the time.

00:11:52--> 00:11:58

responded by telling the Prophet SAW Salem to say

00:11:59--> 00:12:01

he was the messenger of Allah.

00:12:05--> 00:12:13

And over him Nakata, of course, immediately wanted to decapitate him, just finish him off right then and there.

00:12:15--> 00:12:17

But the Prophet SAW Salem stopped him.

00:12:18--> 00:12:23

He said, If he was who you think he is, he wouldn't be able to kill him.

00:12:26--> 00:12:27

And if he's not,

00:12:28--> 00:12:33

then it would be bad for

00:12:34--> 00:12:35

the dean.

00:12:36--> 00:12:40

Where the Prophet SAW Salem was having his companions kill children.

00:12:45--> 00:12:45

So

00:12:47--> 00:12:51

the very fact that this youth

00:12:52--> 00:13:00

was considered, possibly to be the journal we know then, that it is a human being.

00:13:03--> 00:13:06

And there are narrations in which the Prophet SAW salem said.

00:13:09--> 00:13:11

I will aside and Cordray quoted

00:13:16--> 00:13:16

that

00:13:18--> 00:13:21

the dead child would be a Jew.

00:13:24--> 00:13:25

Of course,

00:13:26--> 00:13:30

politically today, to say that

00:13:31--> 00:13:47

you can be accused of, you know, anti semitism and all these kinds of things, but this is the fact of our religion. And because he is a Jew doesn't mean

00:13:48--> 00:13:48

that

00:13:50--> 00:13:59

anything and everything connected to Judaism is evil. It's not saying that it just says, as a process Elon related that he was a Jew.

00:14:02--> 00:14:04

And he described him

00:14:05--> 00:14:07

as being blind in one eye.

00:14:10--> 00:14:15

Is here would be currently, his feet set apart

00:14:21--> 00:14:22

heavy built

00:14:25--> 00:14:26

a human being.

00:14:28--> 00:14:32

So any claim that he is other than

00:14:33--> 00:14:35

a human being is false.

00:14:38--> 00:14:39

For Christians

00:14:42--> 00:14:43

when

00:14:45--> 00:14:46

a movement

00:14:48--> 00:14:55

arose, which rejected the Roman Catholic Church and broke away

00:14:57--> 00:14:59

in an attempt to return

00:15:00--> 00:15:09

to what they thought were the teachings of Jesus. True Christianity, they came to be known as the Protestants.

00:15:11--> 00:15:17

They said, the Antichrist mercy had the jewel was the Pope.

00:15:19--> 00:15:21

Until today,

00:15:22--> 00:15:26

there are a many among them who say that

00:15:27--> 00:15:29

the Antichrist is the Pope.

00:15:31--> 00:15:32

Of course, others

00:15:34--> 00:15:36

found it easier to say

00:15:37--> 00:15:38

it's Muslims.

00:15:41--> 00:15:49

And that is what is being propagated in the west today, amongst the fundamentalist Christians that

00:15:51--> 00:16:00

Muslims are the Antichrist, because we are against the idea that Jesus is God.

00:16:02--> 00:16:04

And we are convincing people.

00:16:05--> 00:16:09

People are leaving Christianity and accepting that Jesus is not God.

00:16:10--> 00:16:15

So it means we're anti Christ, Jesus Christ.

00:16:16--> 00:16:19

So make sense in their

00:16:20--> 00:16:21

thinking process.

00:16:24--> 00:16:26

So the dead John,

00:16:28--> 00:16:30

who would appear

00:16:31--> 00:16:37

at the end of or towards the end of the rule of the Mahdi

00:16:40--> 00:16:45

would be supported by forces he would appear from his for him

00:16:47--> 00:16:49

in what is now Iran.

00:16:51--> 00:16:54

And he would gather forces behind him

00:16:56--> 00:17:00

and do battle with the forces of the mighty

00:17:01--> 00:17:09

defeating them consistently, until they were herded into Jerusalem

00:17:10--> 00:17:12

where they were besieged.

00:17:14--> 00:17:15

Or they will be deceived, besieged.

00:17:18--> 00:17:22

So these are facts of what would take place.

00:17:23--> 00:17:27

Clear. They're not confused. They're straightforward.

00:17:29--> 00:17:30

However,

00:17:32--> 00:17:34

we have people today

00:17:35--> 00:17:36

who

00:17:37--> 00:17:46

claim that the jaal already came or present amongst us, etc, now

00:17:48--> 00:17:51

has already started his rule etc.

00:17:52--> 00:18:06

But Prophet Muhammad wa sallam gave us certain signs that would take place before the coming of the John one, the mighty

00:18:08--> 00:18:09

and the coming of the man

00:18:12--> 00:18:15

who he described as having the same name

00:18:16--> 00:18:17

as himself.

00:18:19--> 00:18:26

And having the same name, his father's having the same name. So it'd be Mohammed bin Abdullah

00:18:29--> 00:18:34

and described him as having a broad forehead and a

00:18:36--> 00:18:39

high nose knows without a bridge.

00:18:44--> 00:18:46

He described him in this way

00:18:49--> 00:18:51

and spoke about the fact

00:18:52--> 00:18:59

that he would lead the Muslim forces and defeat that of the West,

00:19:00--> 00:19:31

Western civilization. We know it hasn't taken taking place. So any talk of the child being present now and acting in the world has got to be false. That has not taken place. Also, Prophet Muhammad wa sallam informed us that there wouldn't be three years of famine prior to the appearance of that job. In the first year.

00:19:32--> 00:19:41

Drought, no rain would take place over 1/3 of the earth.

00:19:45--> 00:19:46

We have drought now.

00:19:47--> 00:19:53

And Somalia, Ethiopia. It's 1/3 of the earth.

00:19:54--> 00:19:55

No rain

00:19:57--> 00:19:59

and the second year, two thirds of

00:20:00--> 00:20:02

The Earth, no rain

00:20:05--> 00:20:10

in the third year, no rain anywhere on the face of the earth.

00:20:14--> 00:20:16

We haven't experienced that.

00:20:17--> 00:20:21

So we know that the time has not yet come.

00:20:23--> 00:20:30

But we have to be mentally prepared for such a time.

00:20:33--> 00:20:39

We should not treat the information which the Prophet SAW Salem gave us lightly.

00:20:43--> 00:20:52

Our children know all the enemies of Superman, Green Lantern,

00:20:54--> 00:21:05

this man and that man, Spider Man, they know all the enemies who are the bad guys, by name, what they look like the descriptions, everything but you ask them about the job, they have no idea.

00:21:08--> 00:21:11

We have done our children a disservice.

00:21:12--> 00:21:31

They should know that jahl better than they know the enemies of the superheroes who are fictitious. They don't exist. There are only in comic books, cartoons. Well, they made movies have them now too.

00:21:33--> 00:21:36

But in the minds of the children, they're very real.

00:21:37--> 00:21:40

But at the jaal is unreal.

00:21:42--> 00:21:45

We have done our children a disservice

00:21:47--> 00:21:49

they should know about a digit.

00:21:55--> 00:21:56

So I asked her last month Allah

00:21:59--> 00:22:03

to bring us back on the correct track.

00:22:05--> 00:22:15

That we don't neglect the education of our children as our education was neglected

00:22:19--> 00:22:22

that we follow Rasulullah sallallahu wasallam

00:22:25--> 00:22:28

in everything that he instructed us,

00:22:29--> 00:22:32

whether it be small or whether it be big.

00:22:34--> 00:22:36

Because he

00:22:37--> 00:22:40

is the example for us he has left the way

00:22:42--> 00:22:43

forward.

00:22:44--> 00:22:46

The Prophet SAW Solomon said

00:22:47--> 00:22:48

that

00:22:51--> 00:22:55

know that the time of the Jarl is near

00:22:58--> 00:23:02

when the Imams no longer speak about it

00:23:03--> 00:23:04

from the members

00:23:10--> 00:23:11

That's why

00:23:12--> 00:23:14

at least once a year,

00:23:15--> 00:23:16

I tried to speak about it

00:23:24--> 00:23:31

it is useful knowledge. Otherwise Prophet Muhammad SAW Salah would not have told us about it.

00:23:33--> 00:23:39

Because the trial of the journal as he said was the worst that human beings would face.

00:23:42--> 00:23:46

A time when there is drought all over the earth.

00:23:48--> 00:23:50

And here comes an individual

00:23:51--> 00:23:56

who will command the skies to rain and it will rain

00:24:00--> 00:24:02

when people are

00:24:04--> 00:24:05

suffering,

00:24:06--> 00:24:07

no food to eat

00:24:11--> 00:24:15

and he will have with him a mountain of bread

00:24:16--> 00:24:18

and a mountain of meat

00:24:21--> 00:24:22

you want to eat

00:24:24--> 00:24:26

then believe in him.

00:24:28--> 00:24:30

That's what he will command the people to do.

00:24:33--> 00:24:39

The Prophet SAW Selim had said that there would be after him a number of that jamun

00:24:45--> 00:24:48

all of them claiming that they were messengers of Allah.

00:24:50--> 00:24:53

We know about them Mirza Ghulam Muhammad

00:24:54--> 00:24:58

Musa Lama in the past and others

00:25:00--> 00:25:11

But almasi had the Jarl is not going to claim that he is a messenger of Allah, He is going to claim that He is Allah.

00:25:16--> 00:25:18

And if you are starving to death

00:25:21--> 00:25:30

and you are given the option, accept that he is the messenger of Allah, and you can eat you can survive,

00:25:31--> 00:25:34

reject and die. What are you going to do?

00:25:39--> 00:25:40

This is the trial,

00:25:41--> 00:25:43

life and death is involved.

00:25:46--> 00:25:50

And the Prophet SAW salem said that he would cut a man in half,

00:25:51--> 00:25:57

walk between the haves and tell the house to come back together again, and the man would come back living.

00:26:01--> 00:26:04

He would tell another, and others.

00:26:05--> 00:26:12

If I bring your parents back to life, will you believe that I am God?

00:26:16--> 00:26:20

And if we believe that only God can bring life back to the dead,

00:26:22--> 00:26:24

it's conceivable that we'll say sure.

00:26:25--> 00:26:31

If you can bring my parents back, my dead parents back to life, then

00:26:32--> 00:26:33

I will accept your God.

00:26:36--> 00:26:37

And he will command

00:26:38--> 00:26:40

to from the jinn.

00:26:43--> 00:26:45

Who were the careens

00:26:46--> 00:26:53

possibly of that grandfather and grandfather, your mother and your dead dad who died

00:26:57--> 00:27:16

and they would appear become visible in the form of your father and your mother. Speaking as they spoke, looking as they looked, telling you believe in Him, My dear son,

00:27:18--> 00:27:19

believe in Him,

00:27:20--> 00:27:23

for He is God, Allah.

00:27:26--> 00:27:28

How will we be at that time?

00:27:30--> 00:27:33

What is will be the state of our faith.

00:27:36--> 00:27:42

If we are ignorant of all of these happenings at that time, we will not survive.

00:27:43--> 00:27:47

This is why Prophet Muhammad SAW Salam gave us this information

00:27:49--> 00:27:53

to renew our faith for that time to come.

00:27:55--> 00:28:01

to constantly be engaged in renewing our faith, because faith goes up and it goes down

00:28:03--> 00:28:13

so that we don't get caught. At that time when it is down. That Jol appears, and we end up as one of his followers.

00:28:17--> 00:28:18

So the job will

00:28:19--> 00:28:21

barricade

00:28:22--> 00:28:25

the forces of the mighty in Jerusalem.

00:28:27--> 00:28:29

The time for Fajr prayer will come.

00:28:32--> 00:28:35

And Prophet Jesus will descend

00:28:37--> 00:28:48

where wearing two white robes and with his hands on the wings of angels as he descends.

00:28:50--> 00:28:51

In Damascus

00:28:53--> 00:28:56

they're a white minaret.

00:28:58--> 00:29:02

From there, he will go to Jerusalem

00:29:05--> 00:29:08

to join the fajr prayer.

00:29:11--> 00:29:28

And when he comes in the muddy step had stepped forward to make salah. He saw him or will see him and begins to step back to allow properties to lead the prayer.

00:29:29--> 00:29:33

But Prophet Isa will stop him and make him lead the prayer

00:29:35--> 00:29:37

saying that

00:29:38--> 00:29:43

it is a lost destiny that you would lead yourselves in prayer.

00:29:45--> 00:29:51

Your moms would be from among yourselves. And after the prayer

00:29:53--> 00:29:59

he will have the Gates of Jerusalem open the forces of the

00:30:00--> 00:30:29

JAL will burst in the forces with the mighty will engage them in battle. Prophet Isa will be in the middle, he will spot the Jarl the gel, the jaw will see him start to run, he will chase him, catch him and kill him with a spear, lifting the spear up afterwards showing the blood of at the job and confirming is defeated.

00:30:33--> 00:30:38

The job will be defeated by properties allays Salam

00:30:40--> 00:30:43

and following that,

00:30:45--> 00:30:53

as the forces that fought along with him etc, are jubilant. And

00:30:55--> 00:30:59

the word spread the defeat of the jungle

00:31:02--> 00:31:04

in that period,

00:31:05--> 00:31:13

Prophet Isa will be informed that Allah has released another people

00:31:15--> 00:31:17

another evil force

00:31:18--> 00:31:28

that has been attempting to enter into this world upon human beings for generations.

00:31:31--> 00:31:37

It's it will be the people known as

00:31:38--> 00:31:39

Alma George and

00:31:41--> 00:31:46

Alia George will not judge the Gog and Magog

00:31:48--> 00:31:48

who

00:31:50--> 00:31:51

little carnation

00:31:52--> 00:31:53

sealed

00:31:56--> 00:31:58

1000s of years ago

00:32:00--> 00:32:06

the barrier which prevented them from over running the earth will come down

00:32:09--> 00:32:10

by Allah's permission,

00:32:12--> 00:32:14

and they will spread over the earth

00:32:17--> 00:32:22

and defeat all of the forces in their

00:32:24--> 00:32:24

wake up.

00:32:27--> 00:32:37

And the law will inform Prophet Isa that the only safe place that you will be able to find is Mount tour.

00:32:39--> 00:32:49

Now there is Mount tour in Sinai in the Sinai and there's also a mount tour near Jerusalem, the two mountains carrying the same name

00:32:53--> 00:32:58

he would seek refuge there with the forces

00:32:59--> 00:33:00

that remained with him.

00:33:01--> 00:33:03

They would be besieged there

00:33:06--> 00:33:09

and it would seem that this was the end.

00:33:10--> 00:33:13

Because the garden the Magog

00:33:14--> 00:33:17

devastate all

00:33:18--> 00:33:24

forces that come before them nothing can stop them. As Allah has informed properties

00:33:30--> 00:33:30

and

00:33:31--> 00:33:34

this affirms for us

00:33:36--> 00:33:41

in case people would fall back into the same

00:33:42--> 00:33:45

mistake of giving Prophet his

00:33:47--> 00:33:50

supernatural powers

00:33:52--> 00:33:55

till they elevate him to be God again.

00:33:58--> 00:34:01

Allah shows the world

00:34:02--> 00:34:06

the vulnerability of properties

00:34:09--> 00:34:10

he cannot defeat them.

00:34:11--> 00:34:12

He killed the job.

00:34:15--> 00:34:16

But he isn't God

00:34:17--> 00:34:18

nor the Son of God.

00:34:22--> 00:34:25

So it is when there is no hope left.

00:34:27--> 00:34:29

That Allah

00:34:31--> 00:34:32

sends since

00:34:33--> 00:34:35

some insects

00:34:36--> 00:34:56

the prophesied Salem described like the larva of the locusts that would find their way to the necks of the jaws of the Gog and Magog and bore into the next into their brains and kill them and they will just die like flies.

00:34:58--> 00:34:59

And that would be the

00:35:00--> 00:35:00

And

00:35:02--> 00:35:10

and Prophet Isa would rule the earth for some 40 years, completing his life

00:35:11--> 00:35:18

making Hajj promises and and described him making Hajj and also restoring

00:35:21--> 00:35:31

Islamic rule to the world again, Prophet Jesus ruling the world according to the Sharia

00:35:35--> 00:35:38

again, when people hear this

00:35:40--> 00:35:41

Muslims are

00:35:44--> 00:35:48

obsessed with ruling the world according to Shetty.

00:35:51--> 00:35:52

They

00:35:54--> 00:36:01

point their fingers. They raise objections. So much so that

00:36:02--> 00:36:09

22 states in the US out of their 52 states 22 of them

00:36:11--> 00:36:14

legally banned Sharia.

00:36:17--> 00:36:27

Of course, when the representatives of the states were asked, okay, so what is the Sharia that you're banning? They said we're banning suicide bombing, we're banning

00:36:29--> 00:36:30

terrorism.

00:36:31--> 00:36:43

Because in their mind, Shetty means suicide bombing, terrorism, ISIS, and whatever else. This is, this is Shediac.

00:36:45--> 00:37:00

They don't realize that praying five times a day, that's Sharia. So when you ban Sharia, you're saying Muslims will not be allowed to pray five times a day will not be allowed to fast in Ramadan, and so on and so forth.

00:37:03--> 00:37:03

Ignorance,

00:37:06--> 00:37:09

sheer ignorance, this is the reality.

00:37:11--> 00:37:12

The Sharia

00:37:13--> 00:37:16

is the law of God, the law of Allah,

00:37:18--> 00:37:27

which is good for all times, all people in all places,

00:37:28--> 00:37:37

that is the reality, wherever Muslims are able to apply it, it is their duty to apply it.

00:37:39--> 00:37:41

Not to force it upon people.

00:37:43--> 00:37:52

As a minority in a country of non Muslims, you we have foolish Muslims, you know, calling for Sharia in the middle of Europe.

00:37:55--> 00:37:56

And creating

00:37:57--> 00:37:58

the scare.

00:37:59--> 00:38:04

We can't apply it. Unless we are the majority.

00:38:05--> 00:38:20

And the majority agree, then we can apply it. If the majority don't agree even we're all Muslims, but the majority don't agree to apply Sharia to try to apply it is to unleash bloodshed in Oman.

00:38:24--> 00:38:26

Because Muslims will fight you.

00:38:29--> 00:38:47

They have to be educated. The OMA has to come to that understanding that the way that we deserve to govern ourselves is in accordance with the Sharia. That's what La ilaha illAllah Muhammad Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam means this is what it means.

00:38:49--> 00:38:59

So the story of the return of Isa is a reminder to us. That's why all of this should be taught to our children, they should know it.

00:39:01--> 00:39:05

All of the details, they should be able to recount it so they can record it to their children.

00:39:07--> 00:39:11

Because all of it addresses and feet and

00:39:13--> 00:39:21

speed speaks to the need for Muslims to understand the deen.

00:39:22--> 00:39:24

If we haven't understood it,

00:39:25--> 00:39:28

then we will be overcome.

00:39:31--> 00:39:32

We will fail.

00:39:33--> 00:39:40

We will fail our children will fail our families will fail our nations.

00:39:42--> 00:39:47

The only way for Muslims is to come back to Islam.

00:39:50--> 00:39:56

And to come back to Islam. It requires knowledge of Islam

00:39:58--> 00:39:59

not just the emotion

00:40:00--> 00:40:10

Of course we should be emotionally committed. But if all that drives us is emotion and we don't have knowledge that we can end up like ISIS,

00:40:12--> 00:40:13

killing Muslims

00:40:14--> 00:40:16

in the name of Islam

00:40:19--> 00:40:25

that is the problem of emotion when it's not guided by

00:40:27--> 00:40:35

the teachings of Islam. So this is the way forward I asked Allah subhanaw taala, to bring us back to his religion,

00:40:36--> 00:40:43

and to forgive our past failings, and the failings of our relatives,

00:40:44--> 00:40:52

our families, our nations, I ask Allah to keep us firmly on this path of Islam.

00:40:53--> 00:41:06

To forgive our lot past ones or last ones, those who have died. Forgive them or Allah, forgive their sins, make their graves

00:41:07--> 00:41:22

gardens from Paradise, not pits from hell. And ask Allah to let us die to leave this world with our last breath, saying Ilaha illa Allah
