Sokoloff and all the

00:00:54--> 00:00:59

honorable all Mr. Respected elders in brothers and sisters who are also joining us.

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

Being a Muslim in contemporary times, is not an easy thing.

00:01:06--> 00:01:10

Islam has been brought under sharp focus every now and then.

00:01:12--> 00:01:17

Its practices have been looked upon was microscopic lenses.

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

And its followers have been labeled

00:01:22--> 00:01:34

as fundamentalist, jihadist, extremist, terrorist, orthodox, outdated etc, etc.

00:01:35--> 00:01:52

In many countries of the world, the woman is not allowed to veil to use the veil. In many countries, the man is not allowed to wear the beard. And in many countries of the world, people cannot practice Islam openly in public spaces.

00:01:55--> 00:01:59

It gives us an opportunity to study this more deeply and more academically.

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

And if we look into the pages of history, this is not a new phenomenon.

00:02:07--> 00:02:13

From the birth of Islam from its inception, there was great challenges.

00:02:14--> 00:02:16

There was great opposition.

00:02:17--> 00:02:32

And The Beast Sinhala Holly is still in the middle of he proclaimed Shahada. And the minute he proclaimed his new Buddha, the forces of battle. And the forces of evil also started the planning and the plotting against Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam and Islam.

00:02:34--> 00:02:43

But the irony of it all is, the more they try to suppress Islam, the more it picks up momentum.

00:02:44--> 00:02:49

The more they try to do down Islam, the more it picks up.

00:02:50--> 00:02:57

And they the more they try to harm Islam. unwittingly they help the cause of Islam. So Panama.

00:02:59--> 00:03:02

It was the season of hedge and operational worried.

00:03:04--> 00:03:18

They said, We need to devise a plan. We need to strategize. There will be great influx, there will be great people coming into market will mukaiyama to perform the pilgrimage. And we are worried.

00:03:19--> 00:03:34

Muhammad sallallahu alayhi salam will persuade them and take them away from our practices and make them Muslims. This was the this was the fear. This was the concern there. And so they called up a meeting in our network.

00:03:35--> 00:03:58

And they said we need to have a plan. How are we going to tackle Mohammed sallallahu Sallam and the season of hedges coming? Allah speaks of this in the Quran in Norfolk Caracas for cucina cave apart from the patella cave apart from another sumava Sahaba sorrow from the borough was stuck burrow for corner in her the intersection, sir.

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

What are we going to tell the people?

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

We've got a plan we are going to strategically put people in all the major routes of Mecca to mukarram and all the major entrances and we going to tell the people

00:04:17--> 00:04:23

don't go close to Mohammed sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he is a magician.

00:04:25--> 00:04:26

What is this? This is called propaganda.

00:04:28--> 00:04:37

Propaganda was always there and will remain to the day of Korea Ma. What is our responsibility and what is our duty that's what we need to understand as Muslims.

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

So they are telling people he's a magician don't go close to him. He has separated father from son. He has created division within our ranks. This man is a magician. He's insane. He's the poet. He's a soothsayer. we warn you out of out of sincerity and out of concern for you.

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

We want you to go close to it.

00:05:03--> 00:05:16

And there are many people that accepted Islam during this time. And I want to emphasize on this point, that the more they try to suppress Islam, the more it picks up momentum. So be mad as the

00:05:17--> 00:05:19

the Mother's Day

00:05:20--> 00:05:33

was a psychiatrist. He said, you know what I dealt with many patients, I can fix this man up. Let me go. Let me go have a word with him. Let me see what's it all about? So he comes to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.

00:05:35--> 00:05:45

And he said to him, don't worry. I have treated many patients in the past and through the grace of the Almighty they have been, they have been cured, you are no different.

00:05:47--> 00:05:54

So the Prophet of Allah engaged him and he said, and hamdulillah and hamdulillah he made who was dying, you know?

00:05:55--> 00:06:05

And then he went on to speak, the main said, just just repeat, just repeat what you said again. He said Alhamdulillah he was trying, you know?

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

He said, You are not the soothsayer.

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

You are not a magician.

00:06:11--> 00:06:20

He said, I shrugged once, in a in LA, wha, wha Chateau unaka, Mohammed Abu rasuluh. I bring him in on.

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

The very same man who was influenced by the propaganda of the Quraysh, who was worn by the Qureshi said don't go close to him.

00:06:32--> 00:06:35

Very same man walks out as a Muslim. So Panama.

00:06:36--> 00:07:21

This is the nature of Islam. The more you try to do it down, the more people become curious. The curiosity gets the better of them. They are curious, why are Muslims always targeted? Why are the women always vilified? Why are they always picked upon in the media? Why are they always brought on the sharp focus? Let me study the lives. And when they pick up the CEO of Mohammed sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, they are left to one conclusion that this is a pure religion, and its profit is a unique human beings have had a lot. And today also, people in the hundreds accepted Islam. The fastest growing religion in the West is Islam. So Pamela,

00:07:22--> 00:07:25

where the propaganda machine is so strong against Islam,

00:07:27--> 00:07:28

yet it's picking up momentum.

00:07:30--> 00:07:39

So we have a lot. So what is our duty brothers and sisters in Islam? Our duty is to show the world the beauty of our religion.

00:07:41--> 00:08:25

The Sunnah of the Prophet salallahu alaihe salam should reflect in our lives, in our business transactions, in our weddings, in the way we do things, we should be unique. We've got so much to offer to the world. And Muslim woman, Solomon Muslim. Oh, and I mean, Lisa, and he were a true believer is he from whom people are saved from his tongue and from his hands. This is the beauty of Islam. Now, you may know how to come after you hit your head, pull it up, see, you cannot be a true believer until you don't love for the next person, what you love for yourself. This is the beauty of Islam. I was doing a training course for the graduates, the matriculants and all that in the media

00:08:25--> 00:08:30

industry. And there was a non Muslim in the course and he stood up, he said, I want to ask you a question.

00:08:32--> 00:08:38

He said, I've observed the Muslim community. They are always willing to shake.

00:08:39--> 00:08:44

And he says, I come before I come from a corporate environment. There's nothing for free.

00:08:45--> 00:08:51

There's nothing for free. He says, Can you explain to me Where do you get the spirit from?

00:08:52--> 00:09:10

And I said to him, this is the Sunnah of our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that was in our student that we are taught that we are not for ourselves, we offer our services to the world. This is the beauty of Islam brothers. We have to live as ambassadors of this religion.

00:09:11--> 00:09:30

We have to show the world through our business transactions that we are different. How did China become Muslim? How did Islam spread to Africa? How did Islam spread to the west? It wasn't through the sword. It was to the beauty of Islam that people were compelled to accept Islam so Panama.

00:09:32--> 00:09:37

They were compelled not through the sword, but they were compelled through the luck of the Buddha.

00:09:39--> 00:09:58

And I want to share with you the incident of Jonathan bit of authority Brody allowed on who and I want you to understand my role and your role in this incident. So when life became unbearable in Morocco, the prophet of Allah sallallahu Sallam told the Muslims to migrate to ever senior and that's when Islam came to Africa.

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

The Quraysh disputed their members and send them that you must bring back these Muslims. They cannot escape our punishment.

00:10:09--> 00:10:14

So our class was one of Muslim at a time, was tasked with this whole thing.

00:10:16--> 00:10:21

He comes to Najafi and he says to you know what kind of people are in your territory.

00:10:22--> 00:10:25

Do you know what kind of people you have given refuge to?

00:10:27--> 00:10:52

So the joshy wanted to find out more. He summoned the Muslims. And Jaffer will be presented the case of Islam. And that's where you and I fit in in the modern times. He said, Are you help Malik? Oh, King. He's presenting Islam to the king and just listen to how he presents the message of Islam. He said, Coleman, Allah helia. Now Buddha

00:10:53--> 00:11:05

couldn't make one up till for Waukesha one of our hub. One we'll see we'll do our yard Kuru COVID human life. Okay. We were in Dark Ages.

00:11:06--> 00:11:09

We used to worship stones.

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

We used to do we used to do indecent things. We used to commit the most heinous of crimes.

00:11:21--> 00:11:23

We used to be paid to our neighbors.

00:11:25--> 00:11:31

The strong one amongst us would oppress the weak one amongst us.

00:11:32--> 00:12:07

We would you save the rights of one another. We would you treat the people around us. Is that not the context that we are living in brothers and sisters in Islam? Is that not the modern day Jah Hillier that we are living in today? Are we not seeing people usurping the rights of one another? Are we not seeing the weak ones amongst us been oppressed? Look at Palestine look at Yemen, look at Iraq. Look at the other parts of the world. Are the weak people not oppressed? Are we not living in modern day Jamelia? He said when

00:12:09--> 00:12:14

barakallahu li narrow food Amina naraku nessa who was coo coo,

00:12:15--> 00:12:23

COO, oh King, we were in darkness, and a last sentence Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.

00:12:24--> 00:12:45

And he took us out of the darkness for the either in a war and you know what? Buddha who won 1,000,080 107 and he told us to worship one law only. And he told us to leave the customs of the past. What Amala bc

00:12:46--> 00:12:50

what in America was ninja was silica.

00:12:51--> 00:13:44

Zero king he told us to be kind to people. This is the beauty of Islam. Jaffer Pina Vitara is presenting the case of Islam to the world that oh king, he told us to speak the truth. He told us to to be trustworthy people. He told us to be kind to one another subhana wa. He told us to join ties with one another wonder Hannah and Phil Masada. We're actually mad India team and he told us don't oppress often children. And he told us Do not falsely accuse women for what they for what they have not done. Well, I'm not gonna be smarter. It was it was so yummy when he told us to perform Salah he told us to give the chi he taught us to fast in the month of Ramadan, etc etc. He presented the

00:13:44--> 00:13:48

message of Islam. What did the king say? He said what

00:13:49--> 00:13:52

do you want me to hand over such kind people?

00:13:53--> 00:13:59

Do you want me to hand over such wonderful people over to you? I'll be a foolish man.

00:14:02--> 00:14:52

Jennifer been a Vitaly presented the case of Islam. You and I have the responsibility to show the world who is Mohammed sallallahu alayhi wasallam to show who is Khadija rhodiola Alana and the matters of Islam It is our duty to reflect the Sunnah of Rasulullah sallallahu sallam, in our businesses, at home, in our social circles in our weddings wherever we may be. We must show that we are Muslims. You are stuck in traffic somebody is asking for place. You should naturally give that men place because everybody else is nasty. You have to show the beauty of Islam. If your neighbor can reach out to you in the middle of the night, then you are a Muslim Subhana Allah and 100 per

00:14:52--> 00:15:00

year law for a hot bull hunter in a law man in our yard. He the entire creation.

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

Is the family of a law and the best of the family of a law? Are those people who are kind to one another. There's no, there's no religion brought here.

00:15:12--> 00:15:27

We have to show the world, the beauty of Islam. A man is working for me for 15 to 20 years, and the message of Islam doesn't cross his mind. The thought of accepting Islam doesn't cross his mind. Then I failed in my duty.

00:15:28--> 00:15:42

I failed in my duty. I need to show the beauty of Muhammad Sallallahu sallam, and remember, the propaganda machine will remain to the piano. You read Do you know?

00:15:43--> 00:15:46

Him? Whoa, whoa, whoa, Tim munari.

00:15:48--> 00:16:04

Pharaoh, Allah says they wish to extinguish Islam. They wish to take Islam out of the equation. And Allah says, I will make sure that Islam remains well carry Hello curfew rule.

00:16:06--> 00:16:08

Even if the non believers don't like

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

Islam is here to remain brothers who are living on Sunday rasuna. Who woulda de

00:16:17--> 00:16:39

Lille hero who did equally? Well no Korean machete Khun the prophet of allies told in the Quran that Allah has sent you with the final message. And a wall will make sure that Islam gets glory over every other religion in the world. While the Korean push record even if the non believers don't like it. It's guaranteed in the Quran.

00:16:41--> 00:16:41

They are to know what

00:16:46--> 00:17:05

the prophet of Allah sallallahu Sallam said, the beauty of this religion, and the message of Islam will stretch as far as the night stretches. And as far as the day goes, a law will make this message of Islam penetrate every bait an unbaked, home of this world.

00:17:07--> 00:17:54

layer below Naxal machinery to upsell navabi, the prophet of Allah sallallahu Sallam said, whether it's to the east, or whether it's to the west, in every corner of the world, you will find Islam, whether it's in the remote jungles of Amazon, or whether in the concrete jungles of the world wherever you may be, go to any corner of the world will find Islam because Islam cannot be suppressed. Islam ooyala Yana Islam will thrive, Islam will always have glory. It is in these circumstances, brothers, were our women folk attacked for the hijab, they should use that opportunity to educate the non Muslims of what is the job. It is in times like this when people

00:17:54--> 00:18:33

ridiculous, our Libous our outer appearance and our beard, it is in this time that we should educate them. Why we wear the beard, why we are Muslims. Islam is not just about the best sheath and confined to the four walls of the masjid. Islam is greater than that. It's a complete code of life. So brothers and sisters in Islam, I end off on this note that you and I are ambassadors of this religion. We have a duty to fulfill those who are attacking us or attacking us out of ignorance or out of jealousy out of hatred. It is our duty to educate them.

00:18:34--> 00:18:41

And just like how people in the past except that Islam, even today, the same can happen on Malina in Alberta.
