00:01:58 --> 00:02:44
			we have a unity between us. We have a similarity in climate, we have a similarity to a certain
extent in our experiences. And the more you travel amongst Muslims, is the more you find the
closeness that we have, and not really the differences that really differences amongst people are
not the greatest issue. But there are more things that unite us and combine us then there are things
that separate us. And so we pray that Allah azza wa jal would bless us, and would unite our ranks
would give us that ability to have one SFX that we would be one united oma
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:48
			following our beloved Prophet Mohammed Salah, Salah.
		
00:02:50 --> 00:03:39
			Recently, in the month of December, I had the opportunity to visit Malaysia to visit Singapore, and
to be with the Muslims in that part of the world. And I was pleasantly surprised to find when I went
there to see faces of the people who I have lived with for the last 10 years in Cape Town. Cape Town
is the home of the cape Malays. And it is reported in the 17th century that the Dutch colonial
forces brought political prisoners and slaves to the cape. And they formed the first Muslim
community in the southern hemisphere, there in South Africa. And they had a training experience
because they came in bondage.
		
00:03:40 --> 00:04:04
			And not only from Malaysia, from Java, but also from Sri Lanka from East Africa, to make up this new
community there in South Africa, and I was pleasantly surprised to see the faces It was as though I
was in Cape Town when I was seeing the faces of the people. But their experience was not the same.
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:45
			The people in the cape had suffered. They were taken away from their homes. They were stripped from
their ancestral lands. their culture was taken away. They had to struggle just to maintain their
faith. And it is reported that there were people amongst the political prisoners and slaves in the
cape who would get up in the middle of the night in chains and pray to Allah subhanho wa Taala that
he would bless them to maintain their faith and to pass it on to the generations would come after
them.
		
00:04:46 --> 00:05:00
			This was really important to me, because my people as well in the Americas were taken as political
prisoners as slaves from the west.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:53
			coast of Africa and came into the Americas. And now we have documented proof that over 30% of the
political prisoners and slaves were taken into the Americas were Muslims. We have documented
evidence of alarma of scholars who were taken in chains who maintain their faith. And now, books are
coming out whole copies of the court and written for memory by the slaves, discussions of the other
ma the reseller of urban abuse al Qaeda dhwani, the great Maliki fucky written from the memory of a
person in bondage and a discussion about this, how this and how this, this is affected him in his
condition of bondage. Also in the island of Jamaica, they found a document that is called Elva Thea
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:54
			calm.
		
00:05:55 --> 00:06:20
			And this was Sega called the the slaves to revolt, that they should stand up against the colonial
forces, they should throw off the chains. And now it is being connected to a document written by a
great scholar in West Africa. Check with Mandarin folio, Rahim Allah Allah, who wrote watseka illa,
Allah Sudan, who wrote this, his famous document, which was there.
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:32
			It was the call to struggle for the people of the Sudan, meaning not only present Sudan but also
West Africa as well. And so
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:39
			they they resist it. They resisted on the shore, they resisted.
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:52
			In the ocean, the Middle Passage, they resisted in the Americas. slave revolts are documented in
Suriname, South America, in Jamaica,
		
00:06:53 --> 00:07:41
			in Haiti, and you'll be surprised to know what the recent recent Haitian crisis that went on with
the earthquake that the revolt of Tucson lava there in Haiti, it was begun by Muslims, makan dal
Bookman, these were great what they call Marabou medabots, who came from West Africa. They were
scholars, and they led successful revolts organize the people and then to such Lovato came along
with the skills of a general and he was able to unite the whole of the island. And they threw off
the French. And it was the first successful rebellion against colonial rule in the Americas. And and
they suffered up until today. And that is part of the reason why.
		
00:07:43 --> 00:08:33
			When the earthquake struck, that the sanctions that had been applied to them, they were not able to
resist, their houses fell down. And I want to read to you a document that has been unrest. This is a
document from the 19th century, written by a scholar of Islam, in the West Indies in Jamaica, a
person who is in slavery. And this is something that Muslims did not know about. We take our
religion for granted. We feel that because we blessed our families have the dean, we think it'll
always be with us. We think that because we come from a certain group, it'll always stay. But this
is the words of a person by the name of Abu Bakr Siddiq, and he writes My name is Abu Bakr Siddiq.
		
00:08:34 --> 00:09:08
			Born in Timbuktu, which is a great center of knowledge and brought up in Jenny. I acquired the
knowledge of the court and in the town of Guna, in which there are many teachers for young people.
My father's name is cada Musa Sharif. Some of Goonies people were obliged to fly to Kong and on that
very day, they made me captive. As soon as I was made prisoner, they stripped me and tied me with a
court and gave me a heavy load to carry and lead me into the country of boon Dooku from dense to the
town of Kumasi, where the Ashanti rains.
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:11
			Then it goes on.
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:59
			It said we there they sold me to the Christians in that time. We were three months at sea, before we
arrived in Jamaica, which was the beginning of bondage. I have none to thank but those that brought
me here, but but praise be to Allah who has everything in his power to do as he thinks good, and no
man can remove whatever burden he chooses to put on us. As he said, Allah subhanaw taala nothing
shall fall on us, except what he shall ordain. He is our Lord, and that all that believe in him put
their trust in Him. My parents religion is Islam. They are all circumcised and their devotions are
five times a day. They fast in the month of Ramadan, they give tribute according to the law.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:49
			They can marry up to four wives. But the fifth is an abomination to them. They fight for their
religion, they travel to the hijas. They don't eat any meat except what they themselves kill. They
do not drink wine nor spirits, as it is held an abomination to do so. They do not associate with any
worship. They do not associate partners with God, or worship idols or profane the Lord's name, or do
dishonor to their parents, or commit murder, or be a false false witness, or covetous, proud or
boastful for such false or abomination unto my religion. They are particularly careful. Now look
what a person is saying now, in slavery said they are particularly careful in the education of their
		
00:10:49 --> 00:11:15
			children, and in their behavior, but I am lost to all these advantages. Since my bondage, I am
become corrupt. And I now conclude by begging the Almighty God to lead me into the path that is
proper for me, for he alone knows the secrets of my heart. And what I am in need of Abu Bakr,
Siddiq, Kingston, Jamaica, September 20 1834.
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:19
			And so the pain of slavery,
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:40
			mother separated from father language taken away, if you fast in Ramadan, if they see you fasting,
they will punish you. If you read the Quran, or if you speak Arabic, they will, they will beat you
to death in front of the other slaves. Because of this,
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:50
			a generation went by, and Islam was for the most part lost. And it was only just a memory.
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:56
			But the two of these people were suffering, praying for their children,
		
00:11:57 --> 00:12:41
			the mercy of Allah subhanaw taala. That now, decades later, hundreds of years later, Islam is the
fastest growing religion still in this land. The children, the descendants of those who suffered are
coming back into the faith. Now what was different for me with the two experiences is that on one
hand, the people in the West and the Americans lost the faith. Now they returning, but the people in
the cape, although they suffered in slavery, apartheid, colonial oppression, they were able to keep
their assets net, they kept their chain of knowledge, right up until today.
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:48
			And the great scholars check user from akasa great scholars developed
		
00:12:49 --> 00:13:27
			my dresses, taught to court and even though they were suffering, and through this, now in Cape Town,
there are over 150 masters. And one of the traditions that they had something which they used to do
after they finished reading this salaat they used to read certain verses. And I wondered about these
verses and it took me a period of time traveling and reflecting upon them to realize how deep it was
that the that these verses they were reading how important it was. And I think that we should
reflect upon this ourselves
		
00:13:28 --> 00:14:12
			in 32 units, versus 62 in verse 63. The slaves, the political prisoners in bondage, they would
constantly read these verses that gave them strength. They turn to Allah azza wa jal ooh Billahi min
ash shaytaan the regime, Allah in the Olia Allah, how often are they him while our homea known
alladhina amanu What can we attack Ooh, la homebush Raphael hayata dunya wolfville Akira lattre de
la de Cali Mattila. Delica, who will fosun Adi. These verses say behold, verily on the friends of
Allah, there is no fear
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:15
			nor shall they grieve
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:26
			those who believe and constantly guard against evil for them there are glad tidings in the life of
this world and in the Hereafter,
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:42
			no change can they be in the words of Allah? And this is indeed the supreme triumph. So in these
verses that tells us a lot in the Olia Allah, that how often are they him while our homie has done
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:59
			and the scholars tell us that this now it is dealing with the present and the future and the past.
Just in this simple verse. When it says laflin la him, this refers to there is nothing for them to
be afraid of now.
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:12
			And in the future. If you are of the Friends of our law, there is nothing to fear while our home has
anyone and it's nothing to be sad about in the past.
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:22
			So there's nothing to cry about. And Muslims today we have to stop crying and wallowing around
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:26
			in the valley of despair,
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:32
			and cry about our future. You have to deal with him. cry about our future.
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:35
			cry about our situation.
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:38
			We have to stop this.
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:40
			And we have to
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:43
			raise ourselves up
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:47
			to deal with our situation.
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:52
			Last how often are they him? While our home Yes or no?
		
00:15:53 --> 00:16:03
			There is nothing for them to fear in the life of this world now or in the future. And there is
nothing for them to be sad about
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:07
			when it speaks about Olia Allah
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:15
			who does it speak about? It says not a special category of people.
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:27
			Not a special group that has a special uniform on or a special name. Allah azza wa jal says
alladhina amanu What can we attack?
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:33
			The description of the friends of Allah are those who believe
		
00:16:34 --> 00:16:42
			and they have Taqwa. So two qualities. We need to reflect on Eman and taqwa.
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:46
			These are the qualities of the Olia.
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:54
			anybody, any Muslim can be described in this anybody can fall under the mercy of Allah subhanaw
taala
		
00:16:55 --> 00:17:08
			and fall into the category category of Olia who have left over now lay him while at home, he has a
noon, they have nothing to be afraid of. They have nothing to be sad about. It is a win win
situation for them.
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:13
			And so when we look at this and are in our present situation,
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:18
			we need to constantly say Alhamdulillah
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:58
			because we are not going through necessarily the suffering that those who came before us went
through. And I reflect upon this with people who would get up in the middle of night in chains and
pray to Allah subhanaw taala to relieve them of their situation, hold on to their faith, they are
being beaten to death and they will still maintain their faith. And Muslims have done this and
looking at different points in history. To see what Muslims have done. We take our religion for
granted. Recently we ran across a fatwa of a great scholar from North Africa. The shack boo Juma
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:08
			was run and he made a fatwa for the Muslims of Al Andalus. And this was in 1504. This is after the
fall of Granada.
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:28
			And he made a fatwa for these people who are now known as moriscos. And the moriscos were Muslims
who had to hide their identity. They had to because of the Inquisition, the Spanish Inquisition that
was going on, they would take you in front of the Inquisitor.
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:36
			And if you are not a Catholic, they will burn you at the stake. And that is a terrible way to die.
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:47
			And then they were people who said okay, I'm a Catholic, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, whatever you
want, I believe, but they still follow them.
		
00:18:48 --> 00:19:02
			And this situation was so was so trying for these people. They could not display any Islam and it is
reported that there were people who, who actually took a bath on Thursday night.
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:14
			He just took a bath. He's a Catholic. He took a bath on Thursday night and they burned him at the
stake. Why is that? Because they thought he was making the whistle of Juma.
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:17
			So the shack made a fatwa.
		
00:19:18 --> 00:20:00
			And he said, I know that you cannot show your faith. You have testified that you are Catholics now.
But you have to hold on to your deen and in the spirit of Mr. Ebony Asad rhodiola Han and Ali Asad.
The time of the Prophet Sal Sal and we remember their story, that they were being tortured in the
early period, tortured in a terrible way. And one time the Prophet peace be upon them can be next to
them. And he said sovereign alyansa mo a common agenda. Have patience led acid, Your place is in
paradise. And sure enough, the mother of Amar. So
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:04
			Mayor rhodiola one ha she was the first person to give her life for Islam.
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:09
			Amar came to the presence of them one time and he said, I have destroyed myself.
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:15
			So the Prophet peace be upon how did you destroy yourself? He said, I said Kelly Matsuoka.
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:48
			I said the word of disbelief, couldn't control myself. The Prophet peace be upon him said How is
your heart? He said My heart was Mahatma inbuilt, amen. I believed I was strong and faith in my
heart, then the Prophet said, then you are still on the path in words. And so what came out of this
that the Mufti used for the moresco people who are hiding their identity is that even though you,
you are told, or you have to testify that you are Catholics, if your heart is still on the faith,
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:50
			then you are still Muslim.
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:54
			Imagine this situation, we take it for granted.
		
00:20:56 --> 00:21:00
			We walk around as Muslims, we think there's some pressure on us because they look funny at us at the
airport.
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:06
			Imagine this situation that they're in the shack said to them.
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:20
			I know your situation. You can't show anything. So if you want to make salaat you got to make do. So
walk along the street. Make your intention inside, tap the wall, that's terrible.
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:34
			You make a lot with your eyes, pray with your eyes. You want to give you as a cat, then give
somebody a gift and make the intention of zakat.
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:45
			You want to maintain yourself to maintain your deen but they force you to marry in a church.
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:50
			And so you have to do it but in the middle of the night, then have Annika
		
00:21:52 --> 00:21:56
			they bury you in your desk you may be buried
		
00:21:57 --> 00:22:03
			with the Trinity. But later on in the middle of the night, have your people make janazah for you.
		
00:22:04 --> 00:22:26
			And so we gave them a system of resistance, how they could maintain their faith. If they could not
escape and make higit across the North Africa and into the Muslim world. He gave them a system by
which they could maintain their faith and by the mercy of Allah subhanaw taala and the Lucien people
now are entering a slum in Spain right now.
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:29
			We take our religion for granted.
		
00:22:31 --> 00:22:31
			We take it
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:38
			and we become stagnated. We become lazy and rd.
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:44
			And the great scholars in looking at these two terms. The first one is taqwa.
		
00:22:46 --> 00:23:03
			The great scholars and looking at this said the taqwa is made up of alfalfa or Raja. It is made up
of fear and hope. And the other might have told us men Raja Shea and Paula who were men, hoffa, Shea
and horrible men who
		
00:23:07 --> 00:23:11
			woman Roger Oliver Fran, mile israa, for whom McGraw.
		
00:23:13 --> 00:23:48
			They said to us, that who whoever hopes and something he are, he requests, he wants it. So he moves
towards it. And if you are, if you fear something, then you run from it. So there's action involved
in this, you're stimulated one way or the other. But whoever asked for forgiveness, and continues to
do wrong, that person is diluted. That person person is in a state of deception. They are in an
illusion.
		
00:23:49 --> 00:24:03
			And this is the situation that Muslims find themselves in in many parts of the world. And the evil
one while yellow Bella is coming at us in a way that probably he never came to people before.
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:32
			To make us feel satisfied with the life of this world satisfied with our religion, we strive to a
certain extent, you will see Islamic movement. We will put on the clothes we will make the slogans
we will make salaat and we will we will we will do what appears to be, you know our fundamentals of
Islam and then we relax and we say I'm over. We are the successful ones. We are felucca to Nigeria.
We are the one who enter Paradise.
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:53
			Then we start to relax we become stagnated. But the scholars have shown us that your taqwa
stimulates you. If you fear Allah azza wa jal you hope in his mercy. you strive for this
consciousness. It's action. You are involved in your action once you become stagnated.
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:59
			Once you slow down and stop and feel that you made it, then you're deceived
		
00:25:01 --> 00:25:18
			This is the delusion now that we need to consider when we take things for granted. Some people are
fooled by their families. And we see it very often happen. They will say, Well, I come from a part
of the world where there's Muslims. There's great my dresses, I don't have to study.
		
00:25:19 --> 00:25:48
			I don't have to give sadaqa My mother used to give sadaqa. So the earthquake happened in Haiti. So
people are suffering. I don't have to give to this. The United Nations will give to this. Why do I
have to do anything to help the poor? The people are suffering in the Gaza they are surrounded. But
why do I have to do they'll make it out? I have to deal with my own family. Because my father was a
great struggler, my mother used to give sadaqa so we think because of our family,
		
00:25:49 --> 00:25:57
			that it is all right. But we are being diluted. Never forget the story of Noah alayhis salaam,
		
00:25:58 --> 00:26:26
			his own son turned against him. Look at the case of Ibrahim alayhis salaam, his father, his father
was an idol maker turned against him, loot Allah Salaam, his wife turned against him. And so your
family, this is not enough. Your generation because you speak a certain language, you come from a
certain part of the world, that is not enough now. We are being diluted and should be involved in
consistent action.
		
00:26:27 --> 00:27:09
			Some people have good deeds and bad deeds, they think that their good deeds will be enough for them.
They make is that fair? 100 times after salon pleasure. And they think that because they've they've
made the mistake far they count their things. They they they go to Mecca, and they count. Okay, now
I'm in the masjid, Masjid al Haram, in Mecca. That's 100,000 times. And then I'm praying Jamaat
prayer, that's time 27 and then I'm on Hajj, and they start multiplying things up. So I must have
about 2 billion Hassan net. So now I can go home, I can do what I want, I can swear, drink some
alcohol fornicator because I got 2 billion hassanal.
		
00:27:10 --> 00:27:13
			So like my scale is going to be so heavy on one side,
		
00:27:14 --> 00:27:18
			that, you know, I can do what I want, because it's still not tipping up. He is being diluted.
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:28
			He's being fooled. He thinks that he is successful. But the shaytaan what Yahoo Billa has has
scooped him up
		
00:27:30 --> 00:27:32
			and has taken him off the path.
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:34
			Other people,
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:49
			they're even in a deepest situation. And this is something that we need to study, go over it over
and over again, try to understand what is happening to us in this section. There are some people who
study the books, and they know about deception.
		
00:27:51 --> 00:27:51
			They can tell you,
		
00:27:53 --> 00:28:02
			but they don't apply it to themselves. They will tell you all the verses, all the ideas, but they
don't do it themselves, they just intellectually know it.
		
00:28:03 --> 00:28:30
			And they don't they forget that Allah says when he speaks to us about the soul, God Allah Harmon
zakka will call the Hubba Mendoza, that the one who is successful is the one who purifies his soul.
And the one who, who leaves his soul, that is the person who will be unsuccessful, and that is the
person who will be defeated. And so it is action. It's not enough to say it.
		
00:28:31 --> 00:28:34
			Then we have another group that's even deeper than that.
		
00:28:36 --> 00:28:39
			We have another group who claim
		
00:28:40 --> 00:28:43
			that you should not only say it, but you should do it.
		
00:28:44 --> 00:29:25
			And they talk about action. And they will do some of the things but they don't apply it completely
to their hearts. They leave their heart alone, they practice Islam on the outside and you will see
them they will make solid first in line. They will fast in Ramadan. They will have the clothes of
Islam, they will have the appearance. They claim to be the successful Muslims, but he's jealous.
He's jealous of you. He has this evil spirit he looks at you. And instead of trying to find you
know, some some way to to help you he's trying to find out what's wrong with you, brother, your
pants are too long. You be it.
		
00:29:26 --> 00:29:35
			Our system is a little hair sticking out of your camera system. This is not right. And they will
look for faults that you're doing.
		
00:29:36 --> 00:29:47
			And instead of giving you naseeha to support you, you find something wrong with your brother and
your sister and you try to help them they will use it against you to try to bring you down.
		
00:29:48 --> 00:30:00
			This person is also diluted a person on the path who thinks that they they're 100% Muslim, but they
are being diluted and a person who doesn't even
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:17
			look like them who may seem like a simple person, that person may be the one on the path. The real
Olia is not necessarily the ones with the long thobes and the giant hats and turbans and, and all
the things the real Olia is probably the person who's sweeping the mustard.
		
00:30:18 --> 00:30:30
			He's a simple person, you don't even know this person, you walk by him. But that's the person that
gets up in the morning and cleans the masjid and makes the other one and wakes everybody up, that is
the one.
		
00:30:32 --> 00:30:43
			That is the person that Allah supports Allah loves. But we will not look at that person because we
want the fame and the glory. Right, we want the hype. And so this is delusion.
		
00:30:44 --> 00:30:56
			And this state of delusion, can actually reach movement people. It can actually reach people who are
on the path who are striving and spending their time
		
00:30:58 --> 00:30:59
			learning about Islam.
		
00:31:01 --> 00:31:21
			There are other cases that Allah talk about, there are people who will spend their time they will
spend their time studying and studying Islam, and they will study now instead of they will study the
different details about grandma and tuck legal hurdles, and and how to pronounce the court and they
will read the court and beautifully.
		
00:31:22 --> 00:31:35
			But they don't put it into practice. And the prophet SAW them said the time would come when people
would read the court and in melodious tones, and it would not reach the house would not pass the
throats.
		
00:31:36 --> 00:31:44
			And so by not passing their throats, it does not reach the house. And so this is a state of
delusion.
		
00:31:46 --> 00:32:04
			It is a false construct a fantasy world. And this is what is being done to our people. Now. The
younger generation, they want to put them in a fantasy. They send them out in space, and they spend
their day fighting aliens or mutant creatures on earth.
		
00:32:06 --> 00:32:20
			Other people are in a fantasy world and they think they're waiting for the MADI to come. The Khalifa
must be marching through down the road. They're waiting for something to come without doing
something they can be diluted
		
00:32:21 --> 00:32:23
			because they should this does not mean that you don't make your salaat
		
00:32:24 --> 00:32:33
			that you don't call to the good and forbid evil. Because you think the malady is coming. People said
the same thing. 1000 years ago.
		
00:32:34 --> 00:32:36
			There were some people who call themselves muddy
		
00:32:37 --> 00:32:46
			and some were pretty sure about it is one person in the Sudan, Mohammed Ahmed, he came from the the
debate.
		
00:32:48 --> 00:32:59
			He had qualities. He organized the people he defeated the British Army their greatest general
Chinese Charles Gordon. And he thought he was the MADI he was in a state of delusion.
		
00:33:01 --> 00:33:12
			And he gathered the troops and now he was heading toward Mecca, because he wanted to be between the
Blackstone and the Yemeni corner, he wanted to take the BR and then get the Judgment Day on and he
dropped dead from typhoid fever.
		
00:33:13 --> 00:33:16
			And then everybody realized, this is not the one
		
00:33:18 --> 00:33:27
			and it happened many times people have made these claims reached high levels and they are in a state
of delusion.
		
00:33:28 --> 00:33:42
			And so it is the simple things. It is the simple innocence of a child. That if you can have love for
your brothers and sisters, if you can stand up for what is right.
		
00:33:44 --> 00:33:59
			prohibit the evil, unite and feel that innocence inside of yourself. This is greater than a person
who memorize 1000s of verses of the Quran, but not put it into practice.
		
00:34:00 --> 00:34:01
			This is the important thing.
		
00:34:03 --> 00:34:12
			The other element that we have along with Tuckwell that our verse has shown us earlier Allah
alladhina amanu. Where can we get
		
00:34:13 --> 00:34:37
			those who had taqwa and also those who believed and it is reported that the prophet SAW seldom on
one occasion, and this is reported by Sophia but Abdullah tartufi that he said, Call to Jada Sula,
la Khalifa Islam, Poland law Alou and who hadn't back color who are meant to belong to mystical.
		
00:34:38 --> 00:34:58
			So this person came to the prophet SAW some of them and he said, say to our messenger of Allah, tell
me something in Islam, that of which I will not have to ask anybody about this thing after you know
the words Give me something I which is a gym. Give me something special
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:08
			I need some special advice and the process of them having jameela Jamil Kalam, he said, are meant to
Billa through Myostatin
		
00:35:09 --> 00:35:18
			sounds very simple. He said that you should say, I believe in Allah and then become upright.
		
00:35:19 --> 00:35:35
			And this word is the comma is another Kelly ma Kalamata Jamia? It is one it is a small word with a
great meaning. And this is the comma is that the person just becomes upright.
		
00:35:36 --> 00:35:51
			just become a good person. That's all. Just clean your intentions. Be a righteous person and when
you have this, you will be in a special category. This is a great blessing from Allah subhanaw
taala.
		
00:35:52 --> 00:36:45
			And Allah azza wa jal tells us in certain facilities, in verse, verse 3030, and 31 he tells us our
rules are below him in the shade on the regime. In Allah Xena Carlota Boone, Allahu Tomas Docomo,
tetanus, Allah, Allah, Allah Allah, Allah to Allah Taha foo while our absolute Bill genda to Leti
quantum to know Olia confirmed hyah to dunya will fill after, while a comfy Hama testa he unfor
sukham wala comfy hamata Darwin, New Zealand minha folder Rahim woman as a new colon. Manda Illallah
huami la salida wirkkala in the middle Muslim, Allah subhanaw taala has revealed to us Verily, those
who say Our Lord is Allah, and then they become upright, believing in the oneness of Allah and
		
00:36:45 --> 00:36:50
			worshiping none but him. on them the angels will descend,
		
00:36:52 --> 00:37:37
			saying, fear not, nor grief, but received the glad tidings of Paradise which you have been promised.
We are your friends and protectors in the life of this world, and in the Hereafter, hearing you
shall have all that your souls desire, in hearing you shall have all for what you asked for a
welcome gift from the oft forgiving, Most Merciful and who is better in speech than one who calls to
Allah and does righteous deeds and says, surely I am from the Muslims. And so this verse is saying
to us, in the Latina, Kahlua, Boone, Allah through muster camo,
		
00:37:38 --> 00:37:48
			they say their Lord is Allah, and then they become upright. As the prophet SAW Selim said, Call our
men to Billa domestication.
		
00:37:49 --> 00:38:07
			Say you believe in Allah, that's not enough, then you you now become upright. And so your Eman
becomes alko new beliefs and what does deep bell curve will MLB jawara that you will say it with
your tongue, you will confirm it with your heart and you will practice it
		
00:38:08 --> 00:38:09
			it will become complete.
		
00:38:11 --> 00:38:15
			And with these simple steps, we can come out of a state of illusion
		
00:38:17 --> 00:38:18
			out of deception
		
00:38:19 --> 00:38:30
			and into the light of Allah subhanaw taala angels will descend upon that person. And when that
person is in depth, they will feel happiness.
		
00:38:31 --> 00:38:35
			They will have a surety because of these actions that they have done.
		
00:38:36 --> 00:38:37
			What did they do?
		
00:38:39 --> 00:39:06
			Was it 1000s of verse they memorized? It was simple actions that they took with sincerity. They
practice Islam completely. And Allah subhanaw taala has told us yeah, you have levena Armando de
colo facility Kapha. While at Abu attache thorn in the hula comb I do want to be it says, Oh you who
believe enter into Islam completely.
		
00:39:07 --> 00:39:22
			And do not follow the footsteps of the evil one, for he is to you an open enemy. So on the one side
is a whole Islam cafeteria,
		
00:39:23 --> 00:39:50
			entering into Islam completely. All aspects we practice. Not only do we practice Islam when we
around Muslims, we practice it when we are in the society. Not only do we make our salaat when we're
in the masjid, we make our salaat outside at school, in an airplane, anywhere we respond to the call
of Allah subhanaw taala.
		
00:39:51 --> 00:39:57
			Not only do we have good character when we around certain individuals, but that good character
		
00:39:59 --> 00:39:59
			it
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:06
			With us in everything that we do. And so we come out of the state of delusion.
		
00:40:07 --> 00:40:58
			And a lot says at the end of this woman asked Andrew Colin, min manda Illallah huami, la salida
wirkkala in the middle muslimeen? And who is better in speech than one who calls to Allah? And does
righteous deeds? and says, surely I am from the Muslims? And this question that comes in the court
and whenever the verse comes in a question form, it is not a question in the sense of Allah wants
the answer from us. What it's really saying is that the best in speech is the one who calls to
Allah, and does righteous deeds, and says I am from the Muslims. And that is the essence of our
mission today, that we are called upon, not to just be a Muslim name, not to just come from a Muslim
		
00:40:58 --> 00:40:59
			family.
		
00:41:00 --> 00:41:24
			But to practice Islam. Not to just say we are from the family of Allah, there's a madressa in my
area, the Imam is he knows a lot. So if I have a problem, I'll go to the EMA. Now we have to study
Islam, even if it's in a in a humble way. All of us have to make actions toward our Deen to come out
of the state of delusion.
		
00:41:26 --> 00:41:36
			And the key issue now, how do we do this, we call to the path what is the dollar today, it is not
necessarily giving speeches.
		
00:41:38 --> 00:41:41
			It is not necessarily debating the People of the Book,
		
00:41:42 --> 00:41:43
			arguing against them.
		
00:41:44 --> 00:41:46
			It is now bringing
		
00:41:47 --> 00:42:42
			viable solutions to real problems in society. This is what Islam has done historically, whenever it
has come into an area, it has upgraded the life of the people. It has helped people to overcome
racism, tribalism, alcoholism, drugs, crime, all of the problems in their societies. And we today
have inherited this global society, living in sprawling urban areas with people who have now
chemical problems, serious chemical problems, serious mental problems are amongst us. Families
breaking up, how can this what solutions we hold gems of wisdom in our hands? It is right with us.
But we need to now implement this, we need to put it into practice. And that wealth that we have
		
00:42:42 --> 00:42:59
			with us, this is an Amana it is not my money, it is not your money, this money belongs to Allah
subhanaw taala. We have inherited this in this dunya while we are above the earth, but when we leave
this, we cannot take it with us.
		
00:43:00 --> 00:43:02
			And so when we are in this position,
		
00:43:03 --> 00:43:23
			when this trust is in our hands, we need to now implement, be involved in issues in society.
Struggle for the environment, now the environment is being destroyed, people are ruining the water,
ruining the atmosphere, destroying animals, animals are becoming extinct.
		
00:43:25 --> 00:43:43
			And one study recently was being done by an Egyptian brother in the UK. And he's finding that
there's about 602 languages in the world. It's a new science, which is developed of languages, about
602 languages in the world. And about every year 40 of them are becoming extinct.
		
00:43:44 --> 00:44:35
			And it's going down lower and lower and lower and lower. And you know what he found out, because
they have now studied languages based on sound. And based upon the part of the mouse and how it has
spread in societies. And for a long time they looked at the languages of the world. And they didn't
include the Arabic language. And so he took the course just recently in the UK, got his master's now
went for his PhD. And now he put Arabic language to the test. And when they put Arabic language to
the test, they have found that Arabic language now rates at this point number two of the languages
that would stay on the earth, no matter what happens. The first language they say, which has a
		
00:44:35 --> 00:44:41
			longevity in it is Mandarin Chinese. But the brother has made a study
		
00:44:43 --> 00:44:59
			and he is now bringing forth his study. He came on a Middle East program. Check Mohammed Hassan.
Zola, how many of you know him he introduced him on the program. And he brought the study and he
said when I bring this out, I have proof that Arabic language
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:35
			Not only will be the longest living language, but it is the original language. It is the language of
melodica. It is a language of gender. And he has scientific proof. And he shows that because they
show phrases, when you say a word it has sounds inside of it, they have a machine, which actually
shows the sounds, and they put the word Allah into the machine. And they were in shock, because it
is the only word that appears to have different phrases in it. But when you say it, it's only one
sound.
		
00:45:36 --> 00:45:48
			It's only one. And there's no other word in any language, which has different phrases that appears
to have different phrases. But when you say the word, it's only one sound.
		
00:45:49 --> 00:45:50
			And so,
		
00:45:51 --> 00:45:53
			he is bringing out this study.
		
00:45:54 --> 00:46:19
			And we are realizing now, what we are holding in our hands. This has caused resistance against us.
This has caused us to be demonized. This is the reason why pressure is being applied upon us.
Because we hold in our hands, gems of wisdom, to answer the problems of society, gems of wisdom to
give a future to the planet to save the planet.
		
00:46:21 --> 00:46:24
			But But every long journey begins with one step.
		
00:46:25 --> 00:46:33
			And that step that we need to make is to come out of our illusion, and to revive our faith,
		
00:46:34 --> 00:46:37
			to practice the fundamentals. Go back again.
		
00:46:38 --> 00:46:40
			Do the basics.
		
00:46:41 --> 00:46:57
			fall in love with what you are doing. And that wealth that is in your hands. And I say this to you
tonight because we have a great opportunity in this community as in other communities, to do
something to help our children and to help our society
		
00:46:58 --> 00:47:04
			I was speaking with, you know, the mayor, just you know, today, we have an opportunity.
		
00:47:05 --> 00:47:50
			And we need to do something to save the younger generation. We also need to do something for those
people who are coming in to be married, to find a halau way for them to come together to be married.
To be able to counsel our community to provide alternatives and all of you brothers, we're going to
get you a wife inshallah, to find a halau alternative. But that means we have to be courageous. And
we have to think out of the box. Stay with Quran and Sunnah. But you don't have to be in a mold. our
culture's are not necessarily this mold, we have to wear certain clothes, we have to say certain
things. The sun of the province of Southern can be adapted, can go to any society keep the
		
00:47:50 --> 00:47:58
			principles, but deal with the society. We are now in a society where the younger generation is under
attack.
		
00:48:00 --> 00:48:27
			And we are one of the groups that the majority of our people are actually young people. A study was
done to find the majority of Muslims are actually 25 years and under. If you took all of the Muslims
and put them out on one field, you're going to find most of them are young people. That's the
majority. But what is in our masters today, most of our masters would all respect it as activities
for men over 35 years old.
		
00:48:28 --> 00:48:49
			Other people other aspects of society, there's nothing in the masjid and the time of the premises
solemn. The master was an all purpose Islamic Center. That's how you can describe it. There is not a
beautiful building with a football. You know in a dome, a Muslim Liam that you visit like a museum.
It was an action oriented place where people would learn about their faith
		
00:48:51 --> 00:49:07
			where they would they would be taught principles of Islam. Dawa was being given even inside of the
masjid. The people of Iran. The people of Yemen came to the masjid entered the masjid. They embraced
Islam, some of them did not embrace. They were still treated with dignity.
		
00:49:08 --> 00:49:21
			When political decisions had to be made, the prophet SAW Selim calls a town hall meeting. Where did
they do the town hall? Did he go outside the masjid in the masjid. So an all purpose Islamic Center.
		
00:49:22 --> 00:49:45
			This is what we have been talking for years, and going into the community saying this is what we
have to give to right now. Do something for your younger generation, save your young people help
them to get married, help the young children to do to come out of this fantasy world and be confused
about creatures and animals and and confused about their own identity.
		
00:49:46 --> 00:49:59
			Do something right now. This is an opportunity that you are blessed to have here in this town. And
there are other people now who are standing up and realizing that we have to think outside the box
and we have to take this
		
00:50:00 --> 00:50:45
			Dean in a way, which is practical and relevant and stand up in society, whether they hate you or
not. Whether the society is talking, we have solutions. And we can bring something else to the
discourse in this society, we can show them the Islamic position, dealing with racism, the Islamic
position dealing with drug abuse, the Islamic position dealing with homelessness, dealing with
depression that people have in society, this is our opportunity. And we can only pray that Allah
azza wa jal would give us this opportunity, purify our hearts, and take us out of this delusion in
the life of this world. May Allah subhanaw taala help us to come out of this illusion created by the
		
00:50:45 --> 00:51:31
			evil one. May Allah protect us from all of the forces of evil that are surrounding our children? May
Allah protect always and give honor to the children of the Omar Mohammed cells Allah? May Allah
protect the women of the Omar Mohamed Salah? May Allah protect the men of the oma of Mohammed sauce
Allah? May Allah raise up leadership in this generation that will stand up for Islam, regardless of
the cost. And may Allah keep on our lips, the words of the court and that we would never forget
woman as a new colon, men men da de la la huami la salejaw we'll call it in the middle Muslim mean,
and who is better in speech than one who calls to Allah and does righteous deeds and says surely I
		
00:51:31 --> 00:52:06
			am from the Muslims? May Allah help us to live and die in a state of Islam? May Allah give us kalama
are the Kalamata tauheed at the end of our life may Allah put this on the lips of all who are here
tonight. May all who hear this make May Allah make our last words to be our best words. We have our
