00:00:04 --> 00:00:28
			The Prophet sallallahu wasallam, who is the best of mankind is the leader of mankind. The prophet
SAW Selim said NSE duality Adam, I am the master of human, all human beings, and I am the first one
to be resurrected or to come out of his grave and I am the one who is going to open
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:44
			or start the accountability to intercede for Allah Allah Allah to stop the accountability and I am
the one who is going to open the gates of paradise for the entire humanity, they will follow me.
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:58
			And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said to us unto Mousavi own our Luna, you will come in
the beginning of the idea of resurrection. You are the former's You are the first people to enter
the agenda.
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:03
			And the word Allah Allah say to us can
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:20
			reject leanness You are the best nation ever raised to mankind, you enjoying the good and forbidden
evil and believe in Allah, Allah Allah. Why are we the best of nations? Is it because
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:52
			we have a different we have a special color? No, look hamdulillah we have black people, white
people, Asians, Arabs, everywhere. So why are we the best people because we are believing in Allah,
Allah, Allah. And we are following the message. The aterna message, the message that Allah Allah,
Allah chose to be the best of messages, the eternal message, the message that was sent to Mohammed
Salah lawyers. Now
		
00:01:54 --> 00:02:00
			this oma which should be the best of nations should have the best individuals.
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:03
			What do we mean by that?
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:13
			You my brother, you my sister, everyone here should feel that he should be the best. Really?
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:28
			Why not? He shouldn't be because the oma who builds the oma, the oma is nothing but the individuals
if the individuals are failing, if the individuals are bad, the whole amount will be bad. That's why
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:41
			when, during the camp of the prophets, I seldom or even after the time of the prophets, I send them
we have individuals like aboubaker like Omar lifers, man, like I live in a pile, like Malia, Sophia,
and like Abdullah
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:53
			Abdullah, he's like, I'm the boss, like like, like, we have ladies like eyeshadow, the Allahu taala
and her like hafsa. Like other great ladies,
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:57
			the oma was the best of nations,
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:30
			even after the death of the prophet SAW them during the Romanian period, even after that period, we
have the likes of Abu hanifa Rahim Allah, Allah and his his students, Abu Hassan, Mohammed, Hassan
Abu Youssef, we have the likes of Imam Malik. We have the likes of Imam Shafi, the likes of Imam
Ahmed, even the leaders of the Ummah, we have the likes of Harun al Rashid, we have the likes of
Jaffa, we have the likes of all the other halifa.
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:35
			So that's why the oma was the best of nations.
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:46
			At one point, my dear brothers and sisters, at one point we, as Muslims, we were controlling most of
the earth.
		
00:03:48 --> 00:04:12
			At one point, there was no as they as many historian said, that history in you the Romanian period
and Trump at one point, and it was the largest ever country known in history, even it used to
control an area bigger than the area controlled by the Roman Empire.
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:28
			And when the individuals My dear respected brothers and sisters, when they lose this passion to be
the best individuals, then what will happen?
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:32
			We will see the likes of Aleppo.
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:35
			We will see the likes of
		
00:04:36 --> 00:05:00
			the Rohingya being killed, and no one bothered about them. Yeah, how many 1000 How many? Maybe
10,000. How many? Maybe 100,000. The whole world is watching because Muslims themselves are not so
powerful. They are not so great. Then they are not respected. They don't deserve to be
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:21
			be respected. As simple as that. If you respect yourself, then you will be respected. My dear
brothers and sisters, if Islam is not in control, then what will happen? As they say, might? Yeah,
we'll be right.
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:32
			It is not that right? Is might. So the one who has power, he will be right. If you don't have power,
even if you are right, you are wrong.
		
00:05:34 --> 00:06:26
			My dear respected brothers and sisters, this spirit has to be passed from the older generation to
the younger generation. We need to teach this to our children. They need to be inspired. That Yes,
it is true that maybe now we are attacked, everyone is calling us Muslims. Everyone is calling us
names. Yes, ISIS, terrorist, Qaeda, etc. And many of the younger children, they might feel
intimidated, and they hide their identity and go to school, they are confronted by a number of
questions. What did Islam provide for humanity? Who are your Muslims, you are nothing look at what's
happening to you in different parts of the world. And we need to empower them, we need to tell them
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:55
			that what is happening to us is just happening to us on a temporary basis. Look at our history since
the time of the Prophet sallallahu sallam. When the prophet SAW Selim was sent 1400 years ago, since
that time, we as Muslims, we were the best of nations, we were either the main superpower in the
world, or one of the superpowers in the world.
		
00:06:57 --> 00:07:53
			The abassi period was the superpower, it ended in the middle of the seventh century 656, then the
hereafter fell down, then it was followed by the automatically refer it to remained as their main
superpower, or one of the main superpowers for six more centuries. So during the time of Islam,
which is 1400 years ago, which is 1400 years, Muslims were their superpower for 1200 years, a
minimum, which means they were either that superpower or one of the main superpowers for 80% of the
time, more than 80% of the time. Our children they need to know this. They need to learn this might
be respected brothers and sisters, we can talk a lot about that. Yeah, we can. It is enjoyable to
		
00:07:53 --> 00:08:07
			talk about your legacy, your history, and how rich Your father was, how great your father was, and
you just live by that and you deceive yourself, as they say, you don't achieve anything.
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:14
			However, everyone should ask himself. What is he doing now?
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:30
			Is he going to say Oh, my ancestors were the best of people. I was my father was my grandfather. My
Yeah, but what about you now? First of all, knowing history, gives confidence to the person
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:53
			gives confidence to the person and in his prayers the person to live as a great person. That's why
Subhana Allah, Allah Allah Allah says kontum Hara Medina Bridgette Lina, Allah Allah Allah says waka
Delica, Ghana Mata masala takuna Shahada alumnus on the Day of Resurrection. Yes, we will testify
		
00:08:54 --> 00:09:06
			before mankind and we will be telling Ya Allah we testify that these prophets pass the message to
their nations, who are we to testify because we are the best of people?
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:11
			Allah, Allah, Allah is inspiring us by these words.
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:19
			Allah Allah, Allah is in inspiring us by telling us who our Prophet Mohammed Salah Salem is.
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:25
			So, let us talk about ourselves. My dear brothers and sisters,
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:28
			one of the key qualities
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:39
			of the successful people who will build successful nations, powerful nations is that those
individuals
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:41
			live
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:44
			for a vision.
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:48
			Live for something
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:54
			and the noble that vision they are living for.
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:59
			They will be noble, the noble the individuals who will be
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:01
			The more
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:11
			this vision is inspiring, the more those people will be inspired by this vision, and the better they
will be.
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:15
			If you have, if you are living for a low vision,
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:18
			then you will be a low person.
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:25
			If you are living for a higher aim, you will be a high person.
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:27
			The
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:54
			homeless person, many of them can do a lot. But this is what this is the maximum they are living for
is just to eat that today to live, maybe he or she will have their dog and instead of them lowering
their hands to beg people go work, go do something go No, I am happy like this. Do you want to live
like this?
		
00:10:56 --> 00:11:09
			Even if you want to live like this, this life? Yes. Is this life everything? No, this life is just a
test. Holla pelota Well, hi,

00:11:35 --> 00:11:39
			And you will regret every single minute you lost in this life.
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:43
			My dear respected brothers and sisters.
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:55
			I want every single one of you, especially the young people. Yes. I always like to talk to young
people, because they are our future.
		
00:11:56 --> 00:12:12
			The young people are our future. And that was the habit of the prophets. I send them that was the
son of the prophets I send them. He spoke to everyone and he put more focus on the young people at
the party. Even Omar
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:27
			Abdullah hypno Abbas Abdullah, he had been a runner, and the others the young people more as a young
people because they are build the future. However,
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:30
			which has talked to all of us.
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:34
			What is your vision in this life?
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:37
