			Medina, Melina, me at the low fella Missoula woman you will follow her the Allahu eyeshadow Allah
either hang Allahu la sharika lahu eyeshadow and then a Vietnam handmaiden to hula solo but I have
hola hola. I'm gonna tell it I mean, the sheer Ana de la for sallahu wa salam O Bharata, Allahu
Allah, Allah, he was like to be woman to be I will be sending it to Medina, I'm about the respect to
the brothers and sisters. We supposed to have adults today. But the atrocity that is going on or the
atrocities that are going on in Syria, in particular, and in general in other parts of the Muslim
world, such as the atrocities that are going on in Iraq, and in Burma. Those atrocities compelled us
		

			to speak about them to see what we can do about them.
		

			I met a few brothers who have the rules today, and are asking them whether they are going to join
the administration and some of them did say yes, and some of them say we are busy with the dots. And
I said Subhanallah one of our problems, my dear brothers and sisters that we are in general as
Muslims not to mashallah Alhamdulillah. Here we see so many faces, we are isolated of what is
happening to our Ummah, I've been traveling in the last few, maybe weeks to different countries, and
you meet different people, some people are concerned about what is happening to our Ummah, and many
others are not really worried about what is happening. I met even people who people have knowledge,
		

			people who teach others, people who are engaged in data, and you will see that unfortunately, not
all of them are worried about what is happening to our ummah.
		

			My dear brothers and sisters, the job of the people of URL, and the people of knowledge is to guide
the OMA in all cases not to guide the OMA in matters related to their salah, and related to how to
perform their wudu and how to divorce but related to all matters, including the most important
matter in their life, which is their Akita and the AlQaeda is not as we understand it, a very
limited narrow of understanding of al Qaeda know that it that is the sovereignty of Allah Dilwara
This is the essence of al Qaeda and we and the people have knowledge that they should guide the
Ummah, in matters related to the highness of Allah, Allah, Allah above everything and the
		

			sovereignty of Allah, Allah Allah. These are the matters that should be concerned number one for the
people of knowledge, which is the matters of the heat, not the narrow understanding of the heat. And
when we see Muslims being attacked by their enemies, by their enemies, and their main concern should
not be the blood that is shed. No, the current main concern is that there is a blood of more hidden
of people who c'est la ilaha illAllah Muhammad Rasool Allah is being checked. This should be our
concern or concern number one, yes, we do care in general for people who are being killed from those
who do not testify that there is no God but Allah, Allah Allah, but our main concern is for the
		

			blood of those who c'est la ilaha illAllah Muhammad Rasool Allah, why because they are announcing
and establishing to hate.
		

			So the people of knowledge and the people of Dawa should not isolate themselves from what is
happening to our Ummah and this is the essence of Tawheed My dear brothers and sisters, and Allah,
Allah Allah says in the Quran or after the Lomita for the open Kitab a little bit you know now
holiness to Munna Allah to know Allah has taken the covenant of the people the of knowledge to
clarify the Kitab to the people in general. So there is a covenant that has been taken from the
people of knowledge that they have to do their job, which is to clarify the truth to people in
general in matters related to their deen and of course there are priorities and Allah Allah Allah
		

			also says in the Quran in Aladdin esta Luna de la he was a man him feminine Cadila Hola, como la
where those who buy our purchase for the covenant
		

			To have Allah Allah, Allah Allah that He is has entrusted them with a cheap price means they
exchange it for dunya Allah de la Allah will curse them and the people who will curse them. My dear
brothers and sisters, this is the very first important lesson that we have to put in mind. And when
we talk about the atrocity that is happening in Aleppo, or in Syria,
		

			we need to think of two types of solutions, brothers and sisters, short term solutions and long term
solutions. And please, please, yeah, we need to change this mentality, which is thinking of short
term solutions. Unfortunately, most of the Muslims and we have to say this, and this is part of the
solution. They always focus on not on short term solutions, not on strategic solutions. They would
like they would like to see the speakers shouting and screaming help our brothers and sisters look
at these hours. Look at the sisters being great the enemies of Islam, they are going to * your
sisters and many people are exchanging these these. Well, this message from that sister from Aleppo
		

			that yeah, I will commit suicide don't ask this scholars about the ruining of committing suicide,
because I would like to protect my honor. I would like to protect myself forget about what whether I
will go to Jana and not don't judge me okay. Or that sister who said that yes, they are going to
* our soon okay rather than we kill ourselves or the other person who said maybe Okay, that is
the end of our life and message is very emotional messages like this or that message that been sent,
oh, the scholars are receiving now questions whether Muslims are allowed to kill their mothers,
their children, their their sisters in order to avoid the day. Yes. And we would like to sing on
		

			these songs. Yes, you know, caught our brothers and sisters, emotion emotion hype and then no long
term solutions. My dear brothers and sisters, what happened and what is happening in Aleppo, we want
to be able to finish it within this night, it is not going to be solved this night, nor it is going
to be so within this week or this month. I know this is a reality. Okay, I know that maybe this is
something shocking, but this is a reality that we have to accept. And this means that we need to
look at long term solutions, although we need to take some some steps towards what is happening.
First of all,
		

			first of all Subhanallah It is a lie. It is from one perspective, good news that you see that the
Ummah is waking up. And they are concerned of what is happening to our brothers and sisters where
whether an LFO or in other parts of the world, in fact, brothers what is happening in Aleppo? Why
did it happen now? Yes, maybe 20 plus years ago halfling as the father of this dictator, he was a
worst dictator. Both of them were dictators. Yeah, he killed over 20,000 people in Havana in the
city of hella hammer in 1982. And they raped the women there and there were atrocities there and
there were quote, they were letters
		

			sent by the ladies that are we allowed to commit suicide, same same scenario, are we allowed to
abort those children because they are illegitimate children they are coming out to pray, etc, etc.
Okay, that happened at that time. But the action of Muslims at that time was not like the reaction
of Muslims at this time. At that time, I was young and I was only following the news. And the
reactions of Muslims at that time was not like the reaction of Muslims at this time. And this is
part of the good news. The reaction of Muslims at this time is totally different. Yeah. It is sad to
say that Alhamdulillah the masses of Muslims are concerned and they want to do something. But
		

			unfortunately, the political leadership of many Muslims, or most of the Muslims, most of the Muslim
countries are doing nothing they are just watching and everyone is worried about about his seat, let
alone my dear brothers and sisters, we need to understand the bigger picture of this conflict. This
conflict is not just by the Syrians, and the regime, as you know that Russia and Iran Yes, they are
coordinating with this
		

			Syrian regime to destroy help and destroy all Sunni cities in Syria. But America and the other
superpowers are watching this monitoring this and they are happy with this. And they want this to
happen to happen. Why? Because they don't want they want to teach Muslims one hard lesson that
listen if this is the global political setup, yes, there are some tyrants, those tyrants are
supported by us, if you masses, you want to say no to the political to the global political system,
we will do to you as we have done to help. So better you live as cheap as slaves and whatever we
impose on you. You have to accept it, and you have to, you have to be happy with it. Unfortunately,
		

			many Muslim countries participated in this because the leaders of those Muslim countries, they also
want to, they are part of this political setup, global political setup, and they want to teach their
people a very hard lesson that if you go against us this what will happen to you will have what will
happen to you as what happened to Muslims in Aleppo, so better to live as sheep? As slaves, eat and
drink, we will let you to eat and drink but don't try or don't even think of saying no.
		

			So the Syrian people are not fighting for their freedom. The Syrian people are fighting for the
freedom of the ummah. And we have to learn this, the price my dear brothers and sisters, the price
they are paying, they are paying it on our behalf.
		

			And we have to be proud of them. We have to make dua for them. And we have to think of the bigger
picture because their victory is the victory for the ummah.
		

			Believe me the victory for the Syrian people is not just the victory for them. It is the victory for
our ummah. It means that the Ummah struggled, and they want their freedom at the end of the day.
What does their freedom mean? The OMA is a Muslim Ummah, their freedom means they want Islam. They
want to practice Islam, they want to live in dignity. Yes, they might have different sects. They
might have different groups, but at the end of the day, they want to live as dignified people. Yes,
as dignified Muslims. This is their freedom. They don't want to be subjugated either by the West or
the east by Russia or by America. They want to live by their own dignity, okay, and they want to win
		

			their freedom. So their victory My dear brothers and sisters is our victory. May Allah Allah Allah
help them? What do we need to do for them?
		

			Yes, first of all, on a political level, there is as I said, short term and long term. Before that,
my dear brothers and sisters, we need to remember one important principle. Allah Allah Allah Allah
says in the Quran, okay daddy can only about money and about bambina can we actually boon, we send
some value mean against other value mean?
		

			Yes, we punish somebody mean by other value means
		

			in order to work in order to purify them in the other eye, Allah, Allah Allah says fanola edesia
sunnah. Well I can pass approval. So might Allah Allah sends punishment to some Muslims in order for
them to go back to Allah.
		

			And this is a very important rule my dear brothers and sisters, by Allah, Allah, Allah also
confirmed in the Quran, that whatever happens to us for the matters of ID Kumbaya, Franchitti is
because of what our hands earned. Look at the morality within the Muslim ummah. Yes, my dear
brothers and sisters look outside the so called practicing people, you will see the mouse in
prevailing. The scenes are prevailing everywhere people don't care about, about the major sins. Many
of us are involved in riba many of us are involved in, in watching haram things many of us many of
practicing people that are involved in Zina, whether in this country or even in Syria before or even
		

			in other Muslim countries, their own man as a whole needs to wake up and they need first of all to
go back to Allah de la. Look, there are many Muslims yes, they would like to pray. They don't have a
problem in praying, but they have a problem to live under the to to live completely by Islam. They
want to
		

			liberal Islam and this is a big problem. This is one of the big MAUSI that we are committing and we
need to abandon that in order to receive the victory of Allah. Allah, Allah and Allah, Allah, Allah.
Allah says in terms of Allah I also recall when it's a bit of them, if you aid Allah, Allah, Allah
Allah, Allah will aid you, if you ADA modular Allah by following his guidance, Allah, Allah, Allah
will support you. This is a fact this is a universal divine law. So we need to remember that that's
why we need to go back as individuals, brothers, as Muslims in Britain. When we go back to Allah,
Allah, Allah when we repent to Allah, Allah, Allah that will help the situation of the Ummah here in
		

			Britain and elsewhere. Don't think that it will not help them. When I pray more when I give sadaqa
more when I give when I perform Salah when I perform cm more when I repent to Allah, Allah, Allah,
when I believe that Islam is the best way of life when I believe when I leave all forms of
secularism, from my mind, and I believe that sovereignity belongs to Allah, Allah. When I believe in
these things, Allah Allah, Allah, Allah will help me and will help others. This is the first
important point that we need to remember and when Allah Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah,
Allah Allah caused that the Muslims to be defeated twice in the battles that were led by the
		

			prophets of Allah Azza wa sallam. Look at this, all know the leader of these battles who are was who
was Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam in the Battle of in the Battle of a hood. And in the Battle of Hunan
innovator of Penang Allah, Allah, Allah says, Well, my name is David comcastro, to confirm toniann
Camino Mahisha Yes, because we were, they were proud of their number, etc. Means they were not
relying on our de la Allah, they were defeated because Allah Allah, Allah wants to teach them a
lesson. So there is another side of all these calamities that befall us, which is Allah, Allah,
Allah, Allah warned us, Allah, Allah, Allah wants us to go back to his religion. So this is the
		

			first lesson that we need to remember my dear brothers and sisters, the other thing, okay, in terms
of short solutions, what we need to do, from a political perspective, we need to be involved. And we
need to know how to be involved politically, yes, with a lobbying with the administration where
they're sending letters, we don't want to attend the demonstration now. And then after that, we
don't want to do anything. Now we need to send letters within the 10 Downing Street to the to the
foreign ministry with to all authorities, and then we need to launch a campaign to send letters to
the Russian embassy, to the Syrian Embassy to the sorry, to the Russian embassy, to the Iranian
		

			embassy, and to others and maybe to United Nations, what is happening, what is happening, why are
you leaving this to happen? This is one thing. We need also lawyers among yourselves, brothers and
sisters, to try now to proceed cases against the Syrian regime. Okay. And anyone, the Syrian regime
is almost anyone who is supporting the Syrian regime. We need to create that noise. Yes, why do we
leave the Russians and the Iranians and others who support these terrorists in
		

			in Syria to kill as they want? Also, my dear brothers and sisters, from a media perspective, we need
to be balanced in terms of showing the atrocities that is that are happening to our brothers and
sisters. So we cry and we weep. Yes, now we need to be balanced. We need to show positive messages
as well as the what is happening, the reality of what is happening. And we also from a media
perspective, we need to hijack that some titles like terrorism, terrorism have been linked to
Muslims only my dear brothers and sisters, and why do we leave it like this? These are some of the
short term solutions all also, as you all know, that we need to raise funds to help the brothers and
		

			sisters as much as we can. Now these are some social solutions, but we need to think of long term
solutions,
		

			long term solutions, and this is for me, is the real challenge long term.
		

			solutions. My dear brothers and sisters, first of all, as we said, we need to go back to Allah
Allah, Allah Allah as a long term solution. Secondly, we have a problem with unity. This unity is
killing us, my dear brothers and sisters. And this unity is the main reason for the Rebels so called
the rebels or the Mujahideen in Aleppo and Syria in general, to be defeated like this. And we asked
our Delilah to give them victory at the end of the day. Because of this unity, I was in
		

			a truck traveled to one of the countries recently one of the European countries, and I saw some
Syrian refugees there. And they were they left Syria three years ago, so on and they were talking
about the disunity between, between the Mujahideen, everything, 30 people, they have their own emir,
they have their own strategy. They want to do things by themselves, and they are not concerned to
coordinate with others. If we grow up in this unity, then this unity will continue with us. We
really need to do something about that. And then launching a few projects in order to yawn unite the
OMA, but it needs to be the ego of ourselves that is killing us destroying us. We need to get rid of
		

			that this is part of the long term solution. My dear brothers and sisters and all of us know Yeah,
and we all caught what Allah Allah Allah said about unity, what doesn't move you're having denied
me.
		

			When I turn us over to have shed water who come here de la haemangioma, I a doula, haemangioma, and
so on. We can't call to these things. But the application of this is missing.
		

			This is one thing, my dear brothers and sisters, they say now that there is a big deal taking place
between between the countries there, Turkey,
		

			Iran, Russia,
		

			and America, there is a big deal.
		

			And whether Allahu Allah, is that true or not, but I didn't want to get into the the the analysis of
the political situation, because
		

			no one can confirm. Yes. And as you know, that they say that psychist pico
		

			agreement or agreement
		

			is over now, or or is absolute. So they need to redistribute the countries of Villa de SHA, yeah.
And they need to maybe have a new new countries and new
		

			new borders, as you know, to divide to divide Iraq into three countries. So nearly a quarter D? Yes.
And they will leave some pockets for the Sunni Muslims, where they don't have any access to the main
main main sea port. They want to do the same thing
		

			for Syria, and something similar to Libya, Allahu Allah. Is that true or not? Okay, but we have to
be ready for that. And one way to be ready for that, brothers, as a long term solution, we need to
be involved on a political level.
		

			Yes, these politicians decide. And then we follow up.
		

			The politicians meet Putin meets with the other leaders they decide. And then later he will meet
with Trump, they will decide and we'll just follow and then we are just reactionary on a political
level. See brothers class, we need to bring this discussion, political participation, is it part of
Islam is not part of Islam voting, and I'm sick and tired of this discussion. This is a reality that
we need to reach to, to certain influential positions. And the political process is part of that. So
on a long term, we need to see among your cells, young people playing a part in politics. Yes. On a
long term, on a long term as well, my dear brothers and sisters, we need to see among you, yes, big
		

			lawyers, because now one of our biggest weaknesses as Muslims, is we don't have lawyers to defend
us. We also need the strategic thinkers. We don't have many strategic thinkers. Most of the Muslims
are still studying, either medicine, dentistry, engineering, they don't study humanities taught the
humanities. They don't
		

			study sociology don't don't just study Strategic Studies. That's why we don't know how to plan to
draw a strategy for the coming 50 years for Muslims in the UK or for Muslims in Europe or for
Muslims in general. We don't know how to resolve things. We are just looking and waiting. What can
we do? And the maximum we can do is what raising funds and send it to the brothers and sisters in
Syria? And if the atrocity, yes, when when this
		

			this message was exchanged out? Yes. And hamdulillah there is an agreement now between the rebels
and the regime that they will allow the civilians to go out and people started to be happy that
there is an agreement Subhanallah Is this what we are worried about? And is this what makes us happy
and relaxed? Yes. Are we that short term people?
		

			See, my dear brothers and sisters, all of you are young. I advise every single one of you to think
of making himself someone big, someone influential, someone who brings victory to our Ummah, yes.
Think of a plan for yourself, have a vision for yourself, and then the OMA as a whole will have a
vision. Yes, my dear brothers and sisters, we don't know how to twist the arms of our country or
even United Nations. How to twist their arms? We don't know. Yes, the Israeli lobby? No, they know
how to twist their arms. Yes or no. Recently, they I don't know whether that is confirmed or not
even criticizing Israel became what? Part of anti semitism?
		

			Yeah, it will become illegal, or it became illegal. Are you aware of this?
		

			Are you aware of this? Just a few days ago?
		

			Yeah. How did they twist the arm of the our country here or other European countries? How what is
the game that they played? We don't know that. Okay. And we keep crying. That is that that should
stop and we should work long term. My dear brothers and sisters. Again, our involvement on on any
one on on another political level with the embassies? Do we have
		

			we do we have
		

			pressure groups to exercise pressure on other countries? Do we know what really exercised pressure
on other countries? Yes, we want to call for maybe the economic boycott, boycott the products of of
Russia boycott the products of Iran if there is any boycott. But does that make a change?
		

			Does that make a change? Maybe? At least we should do it in order to see that we are doing
something. Now. I was talking to the brothers is marching in front of the Syrian Embassy. Is it the
best thing?
		

			Maybe marching in front of the Russian embassy better? is better. Maybe marching in front of the
Iranian embassy is better. Okay. What now? This is among the Muslim community. What others do say
about what is happening? Yeah, most of what is being written. And following a little bit is written
by non Muslims about what is happening in Aleppo. They send another picture. We don't have enough
journalists. Yeah. To convey the message that we want to convey. Do we have good links with maybe,
maybe ethical or journalists who are principle? Yes. Who is speak the truth, whether it is for them
or against them? Do we have this kind of relationship? A lot to be done? My dear brothers and
		

			sisters, I'm just worried about time. I look to be done on a short term. And in a long term. Yeah.
But we have to remember at the end of the day, my dear brothers and sisters, that it is a longest
struggle.
		

			It is the longest struggle. I was reading just to prepare for this part of the history of Aleppo.
And while I did in the 17th century, yeah.
		

			The the the virar. Phyllis attacked Aleppo. And some historians said look at this, said some of them
were
		

			* women in front of their parents in the masjid
		

			that happened in Aleppo.
		

			Yeah, long time ago.
		

			So,
		

			Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah will test us and it is a longest struggle.
		

			What is the end of it? The end of the end of it is the Day of Resurrection. So we should not give up
at any cost.
		

			At any cost. If we give up. Yes, they will be raped, and we will be rigged. And Elijah Allah Allah
made it clear. Well I will add of Allah he now has a backbone development, the hood the Mazzone
Obiang wa salatu wa masajid to Utica Rafi has Mala he Kathira when I answer Ron Allahu Mignon surah
in Allah O Yun Aziz, this is Subhanallah this ayah summarizes what Allah Allah Allah wants from us,
he made this life in a way that shall Evil will never prevail.
		

			Yes, it might prevail for a short period of time, but it will not continue prevailing all of the
time, everywhere and higher as well will never prevail. Okay, forever. No, it is true. Therefore,
one will push and then other will pull. Okay. And that will continue until the Day of Resurrection.
		

			Okay, had into that happened. Allah, Allah, Allah, as he said, had them to that happened. There will
be masajid destroyed, synagogues destroyed, churches destroyed, etc, etc, means there will be facade
and destruction all over the world. Why? Because the sham will prevail, okay, and then the shell
will oppress others, if higher prevails forever, this is the end of this life, okay? And then we'll
be no testing. And this life, as we know that Allah, Allah, Allah created this, created it for a
test to test us. So this struggle will continue. And that's why we need to be strategic in our
thinking, we should not be under any cost, give up, giving up the minute you give up, the minute you
		

			will be defeated, humiliated, *, kill, etc, etc. There are many to defend yourself as much as you
can. Allah Allah, Allah, Allah will send his victory upon you. Yes. And
		

			and we have a duty towards ourselves. And our brothers and sisters, all over the world are Muslim or
Muslim. The Muslim is the brother of the Muslim, Allah, Allah Allah has called us as at one in the
MENA as well. And we ask Allah, Allah, Allah to help our brothers and sisters in Aleppo, we ask
Allah Allah Allah to help our brothers and sisters in Syria. We ask Allah, Allah Allah to help our
brothers and sisters in Iraq. We ask Allah, Allah Allah to help our brothers and sisters in Burma.
We ask Allah, Allah Allah to help our brothers and sisters in Libya, in Yemen all over the world. We
ask Allah, Allah Allah to forgive us for not helping them enough. We ask Allah Allah to help us for
		

			to forgive us for our shortcomings. Alone, not feeling more meaning and more mineka Yeah, Muhammad,

disruption or a disruption in order to spoil the mood and then the
		

			Purpose of the administration will will not be achieved. More of our brothers. Yes, we will go go
for the administration but it doesn't mean that job is done. It is just the start. As I said, we
should not be that emotional and reactionary people with sheep, we should think of long term
solutions. Yeah, there's a lot of Ira Baraka, la vie, come, may Allah accept it from you, my dear
brothers, five just also remember to rectify your intention and the intention for going there is to
show support to your brothers because the prophets of Allah Allah, you are your savior, Salah, said
