Gave,

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

the highest praise that,

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

human being or anyone from the creation could

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

have received

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

when he said to Rasool Allah

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

that

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

we did not send you except for as

00:00:43 --> 00:00:44

a mercy to the world.

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

The tafsir of the ayah is,

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

something that inshallah people can look up on

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

their own and sit with their

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

and read and listen to.

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

But

00:00:56 --> 00:00:57

the and

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

the connection of mentioning this,

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

in this,

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

momentous night.

00:01:04 --> 00:01:05

This night,

00:01:05 --> 00:01:06

connected to

00:01:07 --> 00:01:08

the date

00:01:09 --> 00:01:10

that Rasool Allah

00:01:12 --> 00:01:13

was born on.

00:01:13 --> 00:01:15

His Moled Mubarak

00:01:15 --> 00:01:15

alayhisat

00:01:16 --> 00:01:16

wasalam.

00:01:18 --> 00:01:21

The reason for this mauled being a celebration

00:01:22 --> 00:01:24

is to bring it to have

00:01:25 --> 00:01:27

the Muslims, toward something,

00:01:28 --> 00:01:29

which is that the love of the

00:01:29 --> 00:01:30

Rasul

00:01:31 --> 00:01:33

is from the greatest of those things that

00:01:33 --> 00:01:35

will save a person on the day of

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

judgement.

00:01:36 --> 00:01:38

This is because of the hadith Sahih of

00:01:38 --> 00:01:40

the Messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam

00:01:40 --> 00:01:42

narrated from him not only once but numerous

00:01:42 --> 00:01:43

times that he said

00:01:47 --> 00:01:48

that a man will be with the one

00:01:48 --> 00:01:50

that they with the one that he loves.

00:01:51 --> 00:01:52

And so

00:01:55 --> 00:01:57

when people gather together and they

00:01:59 --> 00:02:01

read the seerah of the prophet sallallahu alaihi

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

wasallam

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

and they describe his noble characteristics

00:02:05 --> 00:02:06

and they

00:02:06 --> 00:02:09

sing an ashid in poetry in his praise

00:02:09 --> 00:02:11

and they repeat the salat and salaam on

00:02:11 --> 00:02:12

his Mubarak name

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

In as much as the person's heart becomes

00:02:19 --> 00:02:20

and

00:02:21 --> 00:02:22

directed toward

00:02:23 --> 00:02:23

his

00:02:26 --> 00:02:28

noble and in as much as a person

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

sends off his son to the prophet

00:02:30 --> 00:02:32

which is presented to

00:02:32 --> 00:02:33

him by the angels,

00:02:34 --> 00:02:35

not only by the name of the person

00:02:35 --> 00:02:37

who says it, but by the name of

00:02:37 --> 00:02:38

their father with it as well.

00:02:39 --> 00:02:43

That the rasul responds, and it's a blessing

00:02:43 --> 00:02:47

for that person. And that's where the

00:02:48 --> 00:02:50

benefit and that's where the blessing start from,

00:02:51 --> 00:02:52

but they don't end there.

00:02:53 --> 00:02:53

The

00:02:55 --> 00:02:56

remembrance of the

00:02:56 --> 00:02:57

Rasul

00:02:58 --> 00:02:59

and his love

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

is

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

the beginning of a journey,

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

and that journey

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

involves

00:03:06 --> 00:03:09

imbibing that sunnah into a person's own state.

00:03:10 --> 00:03:12

And so when we wish to imbibe that

00:03:12 --> 00:03:13

sunnah into our own state,

00:03:14 --> 00:03:16

it includes a number of things. It includes

00:03:16 --> 00:03:17

how we eat and how we drink, how

00:03:17 --> 00:03:19

we sit and how we stand, how we

00:03:19 --> 00:03:20

dress,

00:03:20 --> 00:03:22

how we interact with our elders and with

00:03:22 --> 00:03:23

those younger than us,

00:03:24 --> 00:03:25

how we interact with

00:03:26 --> 00:03:27

our friends and with our enemies,

00:03:28 --> 00:03:29

how we,

00:03:30 --> 00:03:33

comport outwardly and how we carry ourselves inwardly

00:03:33 --> 00:03:35

in our state with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

00:03:35 --> 00:03:37

It's important to remember the rahmah of the

00:03:37 --> 00:03:40

messenger of Allah salallahu alayhi wa sallam which

00:03:40 --> 00:03:43

is unfortunately forgot forgotten by Muslims.

00:03:43 --> 00:03:44

And it's particularly

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

forgotten when it comes to other Muslims.

00:03:48 --> 00:03:50

For whatever reason, we can remember the rahmah

00:03:50 --> 00:03:52

when it comes to a a kaffir.

00:03:53 --> 00:03:56

Somehow or another, we are in super James

00:03:56 --> 00:03:57

Bond Muslim mode

00:03:58 --> 00:04:00

where we don't want to look or say

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

anything crooked

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

lest,

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

you know, that lack of a please or

00:04:04 --> 00:04:06

a thank you or that crooked glance or

00:04:06 --> 00:04:07

that

00:04:07 --> 00:04:08

face,

00:04:09 --> 00:04:11

in which there is some consternation showing

00:04:12 --> 00:04:13

be used as

00:04:14 --> 00:04:16

a proof against us on the day of

00:04:16 --> 00:04:19

judgment for why this person didn't accept Islam

00:04:19 --> 00:04:21

even though such a concept is patently ridiculous.

00:04:22 --> 00:04:23

Yes. You can drive a person away from

00:04:23 --> 00:04:26

Islam for sure through your bad conduct, but

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

just because,

00:04:27 --> 00:04:28

you know, you had a a bad day

00:04:28 --> 00:04:30

or you had a bad expression on your

00:04:30 --> 00:04:31

face or

00:04:31 --> 00:04:33

you dealt with another person within the parameters

00:04:33 --> 00:04:35

of normal human behavior

00:04:35 --> 00:04:37

and that person resented it. It's not going

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

to

00:04:38 --> 00:04:40

be somehow your fault that that person didn't

00:04:40 --> 00:04:41

accept Islam or whatever.

00:04:42 --> 00:04:43

But we have this hypersensitivity

00:04:44 --> 00:04:46

for reasons that we don't have time to

00:04:46 --> 00:04:47

discuss right now.

00:04:49 --> 00:04:50

Whereas Allah

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

describes

00:04:52 --> 00:04:53

the people with Muhammad

00:04:54 --> 00:04:55

Muhammadun Rasulullah

00:04:56 --> 00:04:59

that he, Muhammad alayhi salatu wasalam, is the

00:04:59 --> 00:05:00

messenger of Allah.

00:05:06 --> 00:05:08

And those who are with him are are

00:05:08 --> 00:05:09

harsh against

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

those

00:05:11 --> 00:05:13

antagonistic ones from the disbelievers.

00:05:14 --> 00:05:16

That's fine. We'll put that aside. Right? It's

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

not this doesn't necessarily mean that you should,

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

like, you know, see somebody who's not a

00:05:19 --> 00:05:20

Muslim and, you know, elbow in the face

00:05:20 --> 00:05:22

or whatever at work. That's not what it's

00:05:22 --> 00:05:25

saying, but let's leave the the interpretation of

00:05:25 --> 00:05:27

this. Let's summarize it by saying the antagonistic

00:05:27 --> 00:05:29

from amongst the kafar are harsh and severe

00:05:29 --> 00:05:30

against them.

00:05:31 --> 00:05:32

But focus on

00:05:32 --> 00:05:33

the next phrase,

00:05:35 --> 00:05:37

that they have mercy against or mercy with

00:05:37 --> 00:05:38

one another,

00:05:38 --> 00:05:39

that they're adila,

00:05:40 --> 00:05:42

that they're they're they're they're gentle and they're

00:05:42 --> 00:05:43

humble

00:05:43 --> 00:05:44

with

00:05:44 --> 00:05:46

with, with the believers.

00:05:46 --> 00:05:47

That this is from the greatest of the

00:05:47 --> 00:05:49

sunnahs of the messenger of Allah

00:05:51 --> 00:05:53

and it's worth remembering

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

on this,

00:05:55 --> 00:05:56

momentous occasion

00:05:56 --> 00:05:58

of the mawlid of Rasool

00:05:59 --> 00:06:02

Allah and it's worth remembering that it still

00:06:02 --> 00:06:03

counts even for the people who don't celebrate

00:06:03 --> 00:06:05

the mooled. Mhmm.

00:06:05 --> 00:06:07

And it still counts for the people who

00:06:07 --> 00:06:08

don't accept tariqa,

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

and it still counts for the people who

00:06:10 --> 00:06:12

don't know fiqh, and it still counts for

00:06:12 --> 00:06:13

the people who,

00:06:14 --> 00:06:16

aren't pious or righteous people. It still counts

00:06:16 --> 00:06:18

for the people who don't pray. How about

00:06:18 --> 00:06:20

the people who do? It still counts for

00:06:20 --> 00:06:21

the people who are Muslims,

00:06:22 --> 00:06:25

and you and I despise them because it

00:06:25 --> 00:06:26

doesn't harm them all that much that you

00:06:26 --> 00:06:27

and me may hate them,

00:06:28 --> 00:06:29

if Allah Ta'ala

00:06:29 --> 00:06:30

gave them

00:06:31 --> 00:06:32

to prove that he loves him.

00:06:33 --> 00:06:36

And this rahma is such that it even

00:06:39 --> 00:06:41

crosses the line of iman for that matter.

00:06:42 --> 00:06:42

And

00:06:43 --> 00:06:45

the context for this is what is that

00:06:45 --> 00:06:46

we live in an age

00:06:47 --> 00:06:49

where people literally, like, you know, on on

00:06:49 --> 00:06:51

social media and things like that. And the

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

social media is, you know, it's a microcosm

00:06:53 --> 00:06:55

that's not representative of the real world. I

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

get that. But

00:06:56 --> 00:06:59

real, like, issues that people have play out,

00:06:59 --> 00:07:01

you know, through that prism. The the the

00:07:01 --> 00:07:03

hustle, the root of the issue is there

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

in the hearts whether a person has a

00:07:05 --> 00:07:06

phone or doesn't have a phone or uses

00:07:06 --> 00:07:08

Facebook or doesn't use use Facebook.

00:07:08 --> 00:07:10

They play out in kind of a particular

00:07:10 --> 00:07:11

way,

00:07:11 --> 00:07:13

in social media, and then they'll play out

00:07:13 --> 00:07:15

differently verbally. They'll play out differently in family.

00:07:15 --> 00:07:17

They'll play out differently in Germany than they

00:07:17 --> 00:07:18

will in France because of certain

00:07:19 --> 00:07:21

differences in the medium of how humans express

00:07:21 --> 00:07:24

themselves based on differing circumstances.

00:07:24 --> 00:07:26

But the also, the of it is is

00:07:26 --> 00:07:28

the same in all all situations,

00:07:28 --> 00:07:31

which is what? Which is because this is

00:07:31 --> 00:07:33

our context we should talk about things that

00:07:33 --> 00:07:34

are relevant to our context. That the same

00:07:34 --> 00:07:36

person who will DM me

00:07:37 --> 00:07:38

and ask me, hey, you know, I wanna

00:07:38 --> 00:07:40

learn Arabic. Where should I learn Arabic from,

00:07:41 --> 00:07:42

months ago, just a few months ago, that

00:07:42 --> 00:07:44

same person you'll see them blasting

00:07:45 --> 00:07:46

ulama and they'll blast. And when I say

00:07:46 --> 00:07:48

ulama, I'm not talking about people alive now,

00:07:48 --> 00:07:50

I'm talking about the great ulama of the

00:07:50 --> 00:07:52

past. That this is shameful, this is wrong,

00:07:52 --> 00:07:54

this person is racist, this person is sexist,

00:07:54 --> 00:07:55

this person is this, this person is that,

00:07:56 --> 00:07:57

to the point where we've had to hear

00:07:57 --> 00:07:59

even blasphemy against the Anbih alayhi wasalam,

00:08:01 --> 00:08:02

about about about about the Ambi

00:08:03 --> 00:08:05

things that people used to regard as above

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

reproach. That these are those set data points

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

in in in

00:08:12 --> 00:08:14

the constellations of the night sky meaning

00:08:15 --> 00:08:17

by which we ourselves, you know,

00:08:19 --> 00:08:21

that we ourselves take guidance, that we orient

00:08:21 --> 00:08:23

ourselves based on those things, and people are

00:08:23 --> 00:08:24

just taking them and trashing them one way

00:08:24 --> 00:08:26

or the other, one side or the other.

00:08:27 --> 00:08:28

And,

00:08:28 --> 00:08:29

people will say things

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

innocuously,

00:08:31 --> 00:08:32

and others will

00:08:32 --> 00:08:34

bend them so out of shape and interpret

00:08:34 --> 00:08:35

them so uncharitably

00:08:36 --> 00:08:38

and take the worst possible meaning or the

00:08:38 --> 00:08:40

worst meaning that's impossible from what a person

00:08:40 --> 00:08:42

said instead of thinking about it once, twice,

00:08:42 --> 00:08:44

three times. They're trying to see, like, you

00:08:44 --> 00:08:47

know, how could this possibly mean something not

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

horrible.

00:08:48 --> 00:08:51

And then afterward, have this kind of, like,

00:08:51 --> 00:08:54

you know, outrage Olympics or grievance Olympics where

00:08:54 --> 00:08:55

we, want to just,

00:08:55 --> 00:08:56

like,

00:08:56 --> 00:08:59

heap this garbage of negativity on other people.

00:08:59 --> 00:09:02

We have in this issue also, we have

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

a great

00:09:03 --> 00:09:04

a great and a beautiful,

00:09:05 --> 00:09:06

example,

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

Iswatul Hasana in the Messenger of Allah

00:09:10 --> 00:09:11

which is what

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

Allah Ta'ala himself commands in his book. He

00:09:13 --> 00:09:15

says that the people the the people, the

00:09:15 --> 00:09:17

Ulul al Bab and the people of Hidayah

00:09:17 --> 00:09:18

are who,

00:09:23 --> 00:09:24

The people who hear

00:09:24 --> 00:09:26

a speech, and they follow the best of

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

that that which is in it. They seek

00:09:28 --> 00:09:29

out. Right?

00:09:29 --> 00:09:33

Is is is what? Is is like in

00:09:33 --> 00:09:36

in in in in in in in in

00:09:36 --> 00:09:38

in in in following something. They literally strain

00:09:38 --> 00:09:40

themselves to seek out what the best is

00:09:40 --> 00:09:41

of something, and that's what they take.

00:09:42 --> 00:09:44

And then thereafter, look at Rasulullah

00:09:45 --> 00:09:46

If you want to have

00:09:47 --> 00:09:50

objections and you want to shout people down

00:09:50 --> 00:09:51

and hack people down,

00:09:52 --> 00:09:54

look at what the Rasulullah salallahu alayhi wa

00:09:54 --> 00:09:55

sallam, what his standard was.

00:09:56 --> 00:09:58

Was that during his lifetime, Abdullah bin Ubay

00:09:58 --> 00:10:00

who is who, he's known as what is

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

his lakab, it's not a mere mumineen, is

00:10:01 --> 00:10:03

it? No one is raisul munafiqeen.

00:10:04 --> 00:10:06

Right? He's not just a he's he's not

00:10:06 --> 00:10:07

just a president, he's also a client.

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

Not of the hair club for men, but

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

of mifak.

00:10:12 --> 00:10:14

He's a hypocrite. The Rasul Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam

00:10:14 --> 00:10:16

by what he knows he's a hypocrite. There

00:10:16 --> 00:10:19

are many ayaat about hypocrites that refer directly

00:10:19 --> 00:10:19

to him.

00:10:21 --> 00:10:22

But even then the Rasul

00:10:23 --> 00:10:25

despite knowing exactly who he was and who

00:10:25 --> 00:10:27

those people were, there's a great hikmah in

00:10:27 --> 00:10:28

him not

00:10:29 --> 00:10:31

explicitly outing those people

00:10:32 --> 00:10:33

and the ummah can look and see that

00:10:33 --> 00:10:35

the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam

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

because you and me have like we have

00:10:37 --> 00:10:39

our doubts about somebody, is this person sincere

00:10:39 --> 00:10:40

or not? And we may actually be very

00:10:40 --> 00:10:41

close to the mark if not on the

00:10:41 --> 00:10:44

mark with regards to them. But still we

00:10:44 --> 00:10:45

can say that because we don't have knowledge

00:10:45 --> 00:10:47

of the gharib there's some shubha maybe this

00:10:47 --> 00:10:48

person actually has some iman and something else

00:10:48 --> 00:10:49

is going on here.

00:10:49 --> 00:10:52

Whereas with him there's a great hikmah that

00:10:52 --> 00:10:53

Allah gave him a test higher than the

00:10:53 --> 00:10:55

test of other people, which is what he

00:10:55 --> 00:10:58

actually knew that there are actually catheters inside,

00:10:58 --> 00:10:59

that there's the, you know, the lights are

00:10:59 --> 00:11:01

on, but nobody's home as far as their

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

heart is concerned, as far as their iman

00:11:03 --> 00:11:04

is concerned.

00:11:04 --> 00:11:06

And even then he showed the ummah this

00:11:06 --> 00:11:08

is how you deal with the people that

00:11:08 --> 00:11:10

you have suspicion with, I'll show you how

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

to deal with them.

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

Which is what? There's a hadith, a narration

00:11:13 --> 00:11:16

of Bukhari itself in case somebody wants to

00:11:16 --> 00:11:16

impugn

00:11:17 --> 00:11:20

the authenticity of what's about to be said,

00:11:21 --> 00:11:22

which is that

00:11:22 --> 00:11:24

he insulted the Messenger of Allah

00:11:25 --> 00:11:26

in the worst of ways.

00:11:27 --> 00:11:29

And Sayna Amr asked

00:11:30 --> 00:11:32

for permission to kill him and the Rasul

00:11:33 --> 00:11:35

not only did he not give permission but

00:11:35 --> 00:11:37

he gave a reason as well. He said,

00:11:37 --> 00:11:38

I don't want people to say Muhammad Un

00:11:38 --> 00:11:39

Yaqul Ashabahu.

00:11:41 --> 00:11:43

I don't want people to say what? That

00:11:43 --> 00:11:44

Muhammad kills his companions

00:11:46 --> 00:11:49

Why? Because it's a type of wretchedness. They're

00:11:49 --> 00:11:50

all in Madinah to to people from the

00:11:50 --> 00:11:52

outside. Right? Like, when the Arabs sit with

00:11:52 --> 00:11:53

us and we say, oh, this is Gujrathi,

00:11:53 --> 00:11:55

and this is Punjabi, and this is Hadarabad,

00:11:55 --> 00:11:56

they're like, what are you guys all, like,

00:11:56 --> 00:11:57

eat roti and biryani? Like, what are you

00:11:57 --> 00:11:58

talking? What's the difference? Right?

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

They're sitting in Madinah to the rest of

00:12:01 --> 00:12:03

the pagan idolaters of of Arabia. They're all

00:12:03 --> 00:12:04

Muslims.

00:12:04 --> 00:12:05

So if the Rasul

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

like over something, which really is Kufr, I

00:12:09 --> 00:12:11

mean, people don't know that it's not if

00:12:11 --> 00:12:13

he gives permission to, you know, have someone's

00:12:13 --> 00:12:15

head lapped off, so well, you know, the

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

people of Yasser, they received him. And, and

00:12:18 --> 00:12:19

look what he's doing. He's not, like, going

00:12:19 --> 00:12:21

on a purge and killing people. It's something

00:12:21 --> 00:12:22

like it sounds like some sort of, like,

00:12:22 --> 00:12:25

nightmare, like like a Maoist purge or like

00:12:25 --> 00:12:28

Paul, Patton, Khmer Rouge type thing. You know?

00:12:29 --> 00:12:30

Says this is not what we're this is

00:12:30 --> 00:12:31

not what we're looking for. You know? We're

00:12:31 --> 00:12:34

not looking for for this this vibe. We're

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

not looking for this,

00:12:36 --> 00:12:37

energy. We're not looking for this,

00:12:38 --> 00:12:40

you know, for for this type of look.

00:12:40 --> 00:12:41

This is not how we're how we wanna

00:12:41 --> 00:12:43

be known. Is that we're the people that

00:12:43 --> 00:12:44

Mohammed is the one that

00:12:46 --> 00:12:48

that that that kills his his companions.

00:12:49 --> 00:12:52

Yeah. Look at us. Look at us. Masha'Allah.

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

1 tariqah

00:12:53 --> 00:12:55

hacks down the other one. 1 marids hacks

00:12:55 --> 00:12:57

down the other one. 1 woman hacks down

00:12:57 --> 00:12:59

another one. 1 slave hacks down the other

00:12:59 --> 00:13:00

one. 1 amirs hacks down the other one.

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

People are in competition over donations. People are

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

in competition over over disciples. People are in

00:13:06 --> 00:13:08

competition over money. People are in competition over

00:13:08 --> 00:13:11

business. People are just hacking each other down,

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

and people are feel happy to say, oh,

00:13:13 --> 00:13:15

you know, freaking Wahhabis and freaking Sufis. There's

00:13:15 --> 00:13:17

people are mushrike, and these people are Khawarij.

00:13:17 --> 00:13:19

These people are this and that. I mean,

00:13:19 --> 00:13:20

there are people who

00:13:20 --> 00:13:22

really do cross a line, and

00:13:23 --> 00:13:25

this is why the institution of

00:13:26 --> 00:13:29

Ulaam Arabani Yun exists in the in the

00:13:29 --> 00:13:31

Ummah, which is unfortunately not every Madrasah graduate.

00:13:31 --> 00:13:33

But there are certain people

00:13:33 --> 00:13:35

who are people of the Lord. The problem

00:13:35 --> 00:13:38

is what? If you don't spend time reading

00:13:38 --> 00:13:38

the Quran,

00:13:39 --> 00:13:42

both studying it, but also in its recitation

00:13:42 --> 00:13:44

and putting it in action and

00:13:44 --> 00:13:46

then take the beating that inevitably comes with

00:13:46 --> 00:13:48

that, you won't be able to you won't

00:13:48 --> 00:13:50

be able to recognize who's good at that.

00:13:50 --> 00:13:51

You know? You just have a kind of

00:13:51 --> 00:13:52

fantasy in your mind that there's some people

00:13:52 --> 00:13:54

who say, well, if the prophet was alive,

00:13:54 --> 00:13:56

he would just pet every bunny rabbit or

00:13:56 --> 00:13:57

whatever. How do you know that? You know?

00:13:57 --> 00:13:58

Like, how do you know if he was

00:13:58 --> 00:13:59

alive, what he would do, what he wouldn't

00:13:59 --> 00:14:01

do? You haven't read a book of Hadith

00:14:01 --> 00:14:02

yet. So I don't know, like, what to

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

say to people who are so disconnected, like

00:14:04 --> 00:14:05

but all I can say is if you

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

look you start that journey, you can go

00:14:07 --> 00:14:09

a little bit into it and and get

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

some idea, you know, who those people are.

00:14:10 --> 00:14:12

That some time or another, those people will

00:14:12 --> 00:14:13

say, okay. This person has crossed the line.

00:14:13 --> 00:14:15

They need to be called out. Even then,

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

when they're called out, even in the case

00:14:17 --> 00:14:18

when a person is

00:14:21 --> 00:14:24

a a profligate person, openly profligate person

00:14:24 --> 00:14:26

is shameless in his profligacy. It's not that

00:14:26 --> 00:14:28

you just caught him doing something in public

00:14:28 --> 00:14:30

that he doesn't want people to know about,

00:14:30 --> 00:14:32

but he's actually shamelessly doing it.

00:14:32 --> 00:14:34

That's the case in which it's permissible to,

00:14:35 --> 00:14:37

call that person out and that it's not

00:14:37 --> 00:14:39

considered backbiting against them anymore to say what

00:14:39 --> 00:14:40

that thing that that person does. And if

00:14:40 --> 00:14:42

people need to be warned in order to

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

be,

00:14:43 --> 00:14:45

saved from that person's harm, then it's permissible

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

to warn that person. But even then,

00:14:47 --> 00:14:49

it's limited to that one thing. It's like

00:14:49 --> 00:14:51

it's limited. There's no nuclear option where you

00:14:51 --> 00:14:52

just kind of like go,

00:14:53 --> 00:14:54

not sign a Muslim

00:14:54 --> 00:14:56

And this is really odious to the time

00:14:56 --> 00:14:57

and place we live in because we live

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

in what in cancel culture.

00:15:00 --> 00:15:01

And, you know, people will so and so

00:15:01 --> 00:15:03

deserves to be canceled. No. I mean, people

00:15:03 --> 00:15:04

can do horrendous types of things. If that

00:15:04 --> 00:15:06

person dies on iman, I don't care what

00:15:06 --> 00:15:08

you think, you know, or what you say.

00:15:08 --> 00:15:10

That person has a right to make tawba,

00:15:10 --> 00:15:11

and it's between them and Allah. Does Does

00:15:11 --> 00:15:12

it mean that we should make them our

00:15:12 --> 00:15:14

leader? Does it mean that we should learn

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

darsh from them? Does it mean that we

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

should tell people to take? No. Absolutely not.

00:15:17 --> 00:15:19

But still that person still always has a

00:15:19 --> 00:15:22

right to make tawba. That person always has

00:15:22 --> 00:15:23

a a a a, you know, a janaza

00:15:23 --> 00:15:25

that's set over them. That person is buried

00:15:25 --> 00:15:26

even if

00:15:26 --> 00:15:28

in a very limited fashion. We don't cancel

00:15:28 --> 00:15:31

we don't cancel anybody who's still a Muslim

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

completely.

00:15:32 --> 00:15:34

We're not supposed to. This happened. There are

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

many odious cases that are not really PR

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

friendly.

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

The Boston,

00:15:39 --> 00:15:40

marathon bomber,

00:15:41 --> 00:15:42

you know, so many masajid in in New

00:15:42 --> 00:15:44

England, so we're not gonna give this person

00:15:44 --> 00:15:45

a janazah.

00:15:45 --> 00:15:47

Right? And people like Saddam and Osama and

00:15:47 --> 00:15:50

whatever, especially for somebody who's in America,

00:15:50 --> 00:15:52

you know, to say this person died on

00:15:52 --> 00:15:54

Islam, so there's a limit to how bad

00:15:54 --> 00:15:56

I'm gonna speak about this, you know, per

00:15:56 --> 00:15:57

you know, Saddam is not

00:15:58 --> 00:16:00

not somebody that you know, I don't think

00:16:00 --> 00:16:01

anyone at least in this room is gonna

00:16:01 --> 00:16:03

say that, like, you know, we hold them

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

up as a role model. But the fact

00:16:05 --> 00:16:06

of the matter is the man said, la

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

ilaha illallah before he died and Allah knows

00:16:08 --> 00:16:10

what's in his heart. And he publicly repented

00:16:10 --> 00:16:12

for his sins. I'm not saying that you

00:16:12 --> 00:16:13

shouldn't hold him up as a role model.

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

What I'm saying, though, is just to please

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

a person who has no

00:16:18 --> 00:16:20

light inside of their heart, whose heart is

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

filled with material things,

00:16:22 --> 00:16:24

and, they don't look for anything except for

00:16:24 --> 00:16:25

the life of this world, and they look

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

they don't look forward to meeting Allah, and

00:16:27 --> 00:16:28

they don't look forward to the day of

00:16:28 --> 00:16:31

judgment. Just to please those people, we're not

00:16:31 --> 00:16:33

gonna cross a line with somebody who says

00:16:33 --> 00:16:35

la ilaha illallah even though we accept that

00:16:35 --> 00:16:36

their crimes are crimes and they're not good,

00:16:37 --> 00:16:39

and they're they're not good. If this is

00:16:39 --> 00:16:40

what we have to hold as a as

00:16:40 --> 00:16:43

a minimum standard, then what Jawaz is there

00:16:43 --> 00:16:43

for us to

00:16:44 --> 00:16:46

shout and hack other people down.

00:16:46 --> 00:16:48

The Rasul, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, you wanna

00:16:48 --> 00:16:50

talk about his sunnah, okay, it's the mawlid,

00:16:50 --> 00:16:51

then, you know, nobody's gonna not celebrate the

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

mawlid unless you're, you know, like Wahaabi, Erhabi,

00:16:54 --> 00:16:55

Kababi,

00:16:55 --> 00:16:58

whatever you wanna call a person. Right? Okay.

00:16:58 --> 00:17:00

Let's come sit together. This is the sunnah

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

of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, the

00:17:02 --> 00:17:03

person that we hate and the person that

00:17:03 --> 00:17:05

we but they're still a Muslim, what can

00:17:05 --> 00:17:06

we do about it? Even if we have

00:17:06 --> 00:17:09

our suspicions about this person being complete total

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

hypocrite.

00:17:11 --> 00:17:13

We don't have the right to hack that

00:17:13 --> 00:17:15

person down to kill that person.

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

Someone might say, well, you know, freedom of

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

speech.

00:17:18 --> 00:17:20

That's a completely different paradigm that, you know,

00:17:20 --> 00:17:23

that the constitution is a wonderful and interesting

00:17:23 --> 00:17:25

document of momentous importance in world history.

00:17:26 --> 00:17:29

It's not even a particularly bad document in

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

in in some sense. I don't have any

00:17:30 --> 00:17:33

sort of, like, animus against it.

00:17:33 --> 00:17:34

However,

00:17:35 --> 00:17:37

we have to accept the fact that it's

00:17:37 --> 00:17:39

not something based on the teachings of Wahi

00:17:39 --> 00:17:41

of revelation. It's not otherworldly. All of its

00:17:41 --> 00:17:42

genius, all of its

00:17:43 --> 00:17:45

utility, all of its benefit is something that's

00:17:45 --> 00:17:46

completely from,

00:17:46 --> 00:17:49

you know, this dunya. It's within the the

00:17:49 --> 00:17:50

ambit of of of of this dunya and

00:17:50 --> 00:17:53

its reason and its logic and its understanding.

00:17:53 --> 00:17:55

It doesn't have any sort of transcendent,

00:17:56 --> 00:17:58

any sort of transcendent reality. There are people

00:17:58 --> 00:18:00

in America who kind of wanna look for

00:18:00 --> 00:18:02

dean because they have no dean, so they

00:18:02 --> 00:18:03

saw, look, you know,

00:18:04 --> 00:18:05

guided by the hand of providence

00:18:05 --> 00:18:07

and this and that. No. It's a document

00:18:07 --> 00:18:09

they made some severe mistakes in it. They've

00:18:09 --> 00:18:11

made our African American brothers into a 3

00:18:11 --> 00:18:13

fifths of a person for the purpose of

00:18:13 --> 00:18:15

voting and taxation. It's not it's a flood

00:18:15 --> 00:18:16

document,

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

you know, and we can accept the good

00:18:17 --> 00:18:19

things about it rather than the bad. The

00:18:19 --> 00:18:21

freedom of speech and the idea of sticks

00:18:21 --> 00:18:23

and stones will break my bones is is

00:18:23 --> 00:18:25

not the idea of Islam, it's kufr. What

00:18:25 --> 00:18:26

does

00:18:26 --> 00:18:27

it say?

00:18:27 --> 00:18:29

He said that the Saba of the believer

00:18:29 --> 00:18:30

is what? Moana?

00:18:31 --> 00:18:33

Si Babu who is what? The fist.

00:18:34 --> 00:18:35

It's the fist. Right?

00:18:35 --> 00:18:37

Right? It's like killing the person. When you

00:18:37 --> 00:18:39

when you cuss someone out, when you dog

00:18:39 --> 00:18:40

a a Muslim out, it's like you're killing

00:18:40 --> 00:18:43

them. It is the definition of sin. And

00:18:43 --> 00:18:45

the actual killing of the Muslim is what?

00:18:45 --> 00:18:47

It's as if it's kufr.

00:18:48 --> 00:18:49

The Ulamas will say, Okay, well we won't

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

say that this is kufrul millah but it's

00:18:51 --> 00:18:52

kufral nam.

00:18:53 --> 00:18:53

Rasulullah

00:18:54 --> 00:18:55

in his last

00:18:56 --> 00:18:56

Hajjatulwada,

00:18:57 --> 00:18:59

the biggest audience he ever addressed in his

00:18:59 --> 00:19:01

life sallallahu alaihi wasallam.

00:19:02 --> 00:19:04

What did he say? He said, don't return

00:19:04 --> 00:19:05

after I am gone. Kuffaras,

00:19:06 --> 00:19:07

in grateful

00:19:08 --> 00:19:10

people that some of you smite the necks

00:19:10 --> 00:19:10

of

00:19:11 --> 00:19:12

others.

00:19:13 --> 00:19:15

But still, that's what that's what we're doing.

00:19:15 --> 00:19:16

That's what we see,

00:19:16 --> 00:19:18

And it's not enough for a person to

00:19:18 --> 00:19:20

see someone that they disagree with and give

00:19:20 --> 00:19:23

them the most charitable interpretation possible, to stretch

00:19:23 --> 00:19:25

themselves. You know? Do you see the old

00:19:25 --> 00:19:27

ulama are like that? You know, you read

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

read,

00:19:28 --> 00:19:30

and you read, you know, the they

00:19:31 --> 00:19:34

don't hold their tongues back from lashing bad

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

ideas,

00:19:35 --> 00:19:38

or from chastising people who propagate bad ideas.

00:19:38 --> 00:19:40

But you'll see this that they'll they'll

00:19:40 --> 00:19:42

go through all of the person's defenses of

00:19:42 --> 00:19:44

their own wrong positions, and then they'll add

00:19:44 --> 00:19:46

other defenses that that person didn't think of

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

that are oftentimes

00:19:47 --> 00:19:49

superior defenses of those wrong positions and the

00:19:49 --> 00:19:51

the the defenses that those people gave for

00:19:51 --> 00:19:53

themselves, and then they'll refuse them.

00:19:54 --> 00:19:56

We don't do that. Rather, we race to

00:19:56 --> 00:19:58

what? To give the person the worst possible

00:19:58 --> 00:20:00

interpretation and then smash them into the ground

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

in a way that doesn't benefit anybody. All

00:20:02 --> 00:20:03

it is is the of

00:20:04 --> 00:20:05

of of the nafs that you hate that

00:20:05 --> 00:20:06

person for whatever

00:20:07 --> 00:20:08

reason, real or phantasmical

00:20:09 --> 00:20:11

that that you've conjured up inside of your

00:20:11 --> 00:20:12

heart, and now you're going to,

00:20:13 --> 00:20:14

you know,

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

you're going to go ahead and have,

00:20:18 --> 00:20:20

you know, have the the the naked,

00:20:21 --> 00:20:22

spectacle

00:20:22 --> 00:20:23

of your,

00:20:23 --> 00:20:25

of your anger and your rage,

00:20:25 --> 00:20:28

satisfy itself in the most shameless way possible,

00:20:28 --> 00:20:30

on that person. And if you have other

00:20:30 --> 00:20:33

people egging you on, then nobody's ashamed anymore.

00:20:34 --> 00:20:35

But the fact of the matter is Allah

00:20:35 --> 00:20:37

and His Rasool Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam are not

00:20:37 --> 00:20:39

pleased with that. Rather the ummah of the

00:20:39 --> 00:20:41

prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam is such an ummah

00:20:41 --> 00:20:43

that people used to value the imam imam

00:20:43 --> 00:20:45

of another person. That the rusul sallallahu alaihi

00:20:45 --> 00:20:47

wa sallam used to say that even the

00:20:47 --> 00:20:49

imam of a person, he said to Osama

00:20:49 --> 00:20:51

bin Zayed, his most beloved,

00:20:51 --> 00:20:53

you know, as if he was his grandson,

00:20:53 --> 00:20:55

he he would say to him or he

00:20:55 --> 00:20:57

said to him when he

00:20:57 --> 00:20:59

heard the news that he killed somebody who

00:20:59 --> 00:21:00

said, La ilaha illallah.

00:21:01 --> 00:21:02

And Usama bin Zayed, when asked about it,

00:21:02 --> 00:21:04

said he only did it to save himself.

00:21:04 --> 00:21:06

So what? Did you split his chest open?

00:21:06 --> 00:21:08

Now tell me something. You guys all heard

00:21:08 --> 00:21:10

the story. What's the probable probability that he

00:21:10 --> 00:21:12

said it because in that one moment he,

00:21:12 --> 00:21:13

you know, thought about Islam and was convinced

00:21:13 --> 00:21:15

idol worship is bankrupt.

00:21:15 --> 00:21:17

Very low probability. Mhmm. But this is still

00:21:17 --> 00:21:19

a a story that we all tell. We

00:21:19 --> 00:21:20

understand. It's part of it's intuitive with the

00:21:20 --> 00:21:23

logic of iman, why it's something that we

00:21:23 --> 00:21:25

should, hold fast to,

00:21:25 --> 00:21:27

that that's something that they used to do.

00:21:27 --> 00:21:29

They used to stick up for one another,

00:21:29 --> 00:21:31

but now what is it? The entire Muslim

00:21:31 --> 00:21:33

world is filled with people. We cuss each

00:21:33 --> 00:21:34

other out and dog each other out because

00:21:34 --> 00:21:35

we don't have the ability to actually kill

00:21:35 --> 00:21:37

one another. That's what it is. We can't

00:21:37 --> 00:21:39

get away with it. It's a crisis of

00:21:39 --> 00:21:41

opportunity. I see people, Muslims in the Muslim

00:21:41 --> 00:21:43

community, that hate each other to that degree.

00:21:43 --> 00:21:45

It happens in Masjid elections. It happens in

00:21:45 --> 00:21:47

in classes. It happens in schools. It happens

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

between sectarian groups. It happens between,

00:21:50 --> 00:21:50

national,

00:21:51 --> 00:21:53

national identities. It happens between rich and poor.

00:21:53 --> 00:21:55

It happens between skin colors. We would kill

00:21:55 --> 00:21:57

one another if we had the ability to

00:21:57 --> 00:21:58

get away with it. We would enslave another

00:21:58 --> 00:22:00

Muslim if we had the ability to get

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

it get away with it. We would wrongfully

00:22:01 --> 00:22:03

jail another Muslim if we had the ability.

00:22:03 --> 00:22:05

But it's a crisis of opportunity, out of

00:22:05 --> 00:22:07

his mercy, he made us,

00:22:08 --> 00:22:11

completely as relevant to society as the froth

00:22:11 --> 00:22:12

on the top of the sea is to

00:22:12 --> 00:22:14

the waves. And we're not able to get

00:22:14 --> 00:22:15

get away with it, but it's the same

00:22:15 --> 00:22:17

thing inside which causes the people in the

00:22:17 --> 00:22:19

Muslim world to fight and kill each other.

00:22:19 --> 00:22:20

Why no one in a Muslim country can

00:22:20 --> 00:22:23

ever have 5 minutes of rest? Every government

00:22:23 --> 00:22:24

has tried to throw its own people in

00:22:24 --> 00:22:27

jail. Every person sees a person as a

00:22:27 --> 00:22:29

potential enemy and a potential threat that they

00:22:29 --> 00:22:31

that they assess, you know, 10 steps before

00:22:31 --> 00:22:34

that person even, thinks themselves of becoming a

00:22:34 --> 00:22:35

threat, that they wanna take them out,

00:22:36 --> 00:22:39

you know, preemptively. And what is it? It's

00:22:39 --> 00:22:41

complete misery, and it's not the sunnah of

00:22:41 --> 00:22:43

the messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.

00:22:43 --> 00:22:44

And, unfortunately unfortunately,

00:22:44 --> 00:22:47

in a manner that's very flabbergasting, and then

00:22:47 --> 00:22:49

it's a manner that explains to us why

00:22:49 --> 00:22:51

it is that this Ummah is bereft of

00:22:51 --> 00:22:53

the help that was given to the companions

00:22:55 --> 00:22:57

Those people that when they took the battlefield,

00:22:57 --> 00:22:58

they, you know,

00:23:00 --> 00:23:01

they themselves were

00:23:01 --> 00:23:03

largely unlettered people

00:23:04 --> 00:23:06

and they took the battlefield against great and

00:23:06 --> 00:23:09

ancient civilizations that the Romans used to study

00:23:09 --> 00:23:11

the tactics of Hannibal and things like that.

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

That

00:23:12 --> 00:23:13

is 1000 of years old

00:23:14 --> 00:23:16

tradition, military tradition. The Persians had 1000 of

00:23:16 --> 00:23:18

years old military tradition,

00:23:18 --> 00:23:20

imperial tradition that they would take the battlefield

00:23:20 --> 00:23:22

and the angels themselves would

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

dust them off to the side.

00:23:24 --> 00:23:27

Why? Because when you stand with La ilaha

00:23:27 --> 00:23:30

illallah Muhammadur Rasool Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam,

00:23:30 --> 00:23:31

you have the you have the you have

00:23:31 --> 00:23:34

the iqatha of Rasool Allah sallallahu alaihi wa

00:23:34 --> 00:23:36

sallam with you. Allah ta'ala is with

00:23:37 --> 00:23:40

you. And your, you know, the Khalifa is

00:23:40 --> 00:23:42

Saidin Abu Bakr Siddiq radiAllahu anhu. And your

00:23:42 --> 00:23:44

amirs Saidin Amr radiAllahu anhu. And the one

00:23:44 --> 00:23:46

who keeps your sir, and the one who

00:23:46 --> 00:23:49

keeps your honor, Saidna Uthman radiAllahu anhu. And

00:23:49 --> 00:23:51

your mushad is Saidna Ali radiAllahu anhu, and

00:23:51 --> 00:23:52

the one who

00:23:52 --> 00:23:55

guards every baab of your castle is the

00:23:55 --> 00:23:58

Ashalah Mu bashir bil Jannah, and the lashkar

00:23:58 --> 00:23:59

of the of the Muhajir and Ansar are

00:23:59 --> 00:24:01

the ones who are are with you wherever

00:24:01 --> 00:24:03

you go even if you're a a a

00:24:03 --> 00:24:05

sole person that walks into a foreign land.

00:24:05 --> 00:24:07

You have the madadu from Allah with

00:24:08 --> 00:24:10

you wherever you go. Why did we lose

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

that madad?

00:24:11 --> 00:24:13

Because what? Because we don't have the

00:24:13 --> 00:24:15

the the the courage inside of us to

00:24:15 --> 00:24:17

follow these sunnahs. We wanna do it our

00:24:17 --> 00:24:19

own way because that's what's practical. Khalas, you

00:24:19 --> 00:24:21

wanna do it your own way? Go ahead.

00:24:21 --> 00:24:23

See see how far you're gonna get. See

00:24:23 --> 00:24:25

where you're gonna get. And this the the

00:24:25 --> 00:24:27

the the the thing I was trying to

00:24:27 --> 00:24:28

say is what one of the most

00:24:30 --> 00:24:31

brain rottingly

00:24:31 --> 00:24:33

frustrating things is what

00:24:34 --> 00:24:36

that explains to a person why is it

00:24:36 --> 00:24:37

maybe that that madad is not there with

00:24:37 --> 00:24:38

us anymore

00:24:39 --> 00:24:42

is because people have somehow even found a

00:24:42 --> 00:24:44

way to use the birth of the Prophet

00:24:44 --> 00:24:45

sallallahu alaihi wa sallam

00:24:47 --> 00:24:49

into a way to violate his sunnah in

00:24:49 --> 00:24:52

the most gross and disgusting way possible.

00:24:54 --> 00:24:56

I remember one time some of the best

00:24:56 --> 00:24:58

molled bayans I've ever heard

00:25:00 --> 00:25:02

was when the preacher inside gives a bayan

00:25:02 --> 00:25:04

about why his mooled is a bida'a. Because

00:25:04 --> 00:25:06

what? If the man is sincere, if the

00:25:06 --> 00:25:08

man is sincere, what will he talk about?

00:25:08 --> 00:25:10

He'll talk about the favela of following the

00:25:10 --> 00:25:11

sunnah of the Prophet

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

And

00:25:14 --> 00:25:15

some of those bayans are the best because

00:25:15 --> 00:25:18

it happens on 12th of Rabi'ul Awa and

00:25:18 --> 00:25:20

the person speaks with such sincerity and such

00:25:20 --> 00:25:20

fervor.

00:25:21 --> 00:25:23

Such sincerity and such fervor and such love

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

for the sunnah of the Messenger of Allah

00:25:26 --> 00:25:27

we stood outside the door of the Masjid

00:25:27 --> 00:25:29

with sweets just handing them out on the

00:25:29 --> 00:25:30

way out to the people. No one would

00:25:30 --> 00:25:32

ever know if they weren't admired in sectarian

00:25:32 --> 00:25:34

debates that this is any different than the

00:25:34 --> 00:25:36

Bayan that's happening in the masjid down the

00:25:36 --> 00:25:37

street from the person who,

00:25:38 --> 00:25:40

celebrates the mawlid. You don't have to follow

00:25:40 --> 00:25:41

their 5th. You don't have to take Be'a

00:25:41 --> 00:25:42

with them.

00:25:43 --> 00:25:44

You know, you don't have to agree with

00:25:44 --> 00:25:46

them whether they say hadith is sahi or

00:25:46 --> 00:25:47

not. But at the end of the day,

00:25:47 --> 00:25:49

they're still they're still Muslims. Right?

00:25:50 --> 00:25:51

And if it's like that, you know, if

00:25:51 --> 00:25:53

it's like that for this, maybe it's like

00:25:53 --> 00:25:54

that for other stuff as well.

00:25:56 --> 00:25:58

And that's my,

00:25:58 --> 00:25:59

small,

00:25:59 --> 00:26:01

you know, small couple of words that I

00:26:01 --> 00:26:02

wanted to share after

00:26:02 --> 00:26:05

being subject subjected to a kind of a

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

a bunch of

00:26:06 --> 00:26:09

foolery and foolishness, which is unfortunately not unfortunately

00:26:09 --> 00:26:10

not new

00:26:10 --> 00:26:11

in the Ummah.

00:26:12 --> 00:26:14

These are the types of controversies that that

00:26:14 --> 00:26:16

people, you know, were ready to fight and

00:26:16 --> 00:26:17

kill each other over

00:26:17 --> 00:26:19

when the Mongols were at the gates of

00:26:19 --> 00:26:21

the great metropoli of Central Asia and of

00:26:21 --> 00:26:23

the heartlands of Islam. And these were the

00:26:23 --> 00:26:25

things that people are cussing each other out

00:26:25 --> 00:26:27

over when the crusaders ran over,

00:26:28 --> 00:26:31

ran over our our our sacred homeland. These

00:26:31 --> 00:26:33

are the things that people were arguing over

00:26:33 --> 00:26:35

in many places when they

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

overran our,

00:26:38 --> 00:26:39

our sacred homeland,

00:26:40 --> 00:26:42

with colonialism and all other sorts of calamities

00:26:42 --> 00:26:44

that are breaking over the heads of the

00:26:44 --> 00:26:46

Muslims right now. And you see those couple

00:26:46 --> 00:26:48

of places where people can put aside these

00:26:48 --> 00:26:49

differences, not talk talk about these types of

00:26:49 --> 00:26:51

things or make them a reason to fight

00:26:51 --> 00:26:53

or hate or kill each other, that Allah's

00:26:54 --> 00:26:56

help, you know, it makes idraq of them

00:26:56 --> 00:26:58

also, it reaches them as well.

00:26:58 --> 00:27:01

Just like Sayid Musa alayhi salam, when Banu

00:27:01 --> 00:27:03

Israel says, you know, that that that, Inna

00:27:03 --> 00:27:06

la Mudrakoon that somehow, you know, or another,

00:27:06 --> 00:27:08

you know, that's it. The jig is up.

00:27:08 --> 00:27:10

The pharaoh and his hosts are gonna bear

00:27:10 --> 00:27:11

down on us and we're against the sea.

00:27:14 --> 00:27:16

Say hadeen that never with me is my

00:27:16 --> 00:27:18

Lord. He'll guide me. He'll guide me through

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

this. He'll get us he'll show us the

00:27:19 --> 00:27:22

way out of this this problem. That this

00:27:22 --> 00:27:23

is something you don't even have to believe

00:27:23 --> 00:27:26

in anything miraculous to understand. It's very common

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

sense how a billion people forget about the

00:27:28 --> 00:27:30

even if 1% of them were people who

00:27:30 --> 00:27:31

at least, you know, knew how to, sit

00:27:31 --> 00:27:34

with someone that they disagree with and agree

00:27:34 --> 00:27:36

on a common goal without falling on each

00:27:36 --> 00:27:38

other like a a a pack of dogs.

00:27:38 --> 00:27:41

That how that's like that's really big. You

00:27:41 --> 00:27:43

know? That's something that's really big. And how

00:27:43 --> 00:27:45

it is that all of the Muslim major

00:27:45 --> 00:27:46

Muslim empires,

00:27:46 --> 00:27:48

they all started out with Muslims as minorities.

00:27:48 --> 00:27:49

The companions

00:27:49 --> 00:27:51

were at one point even a minority in

00:27:51 --> 00:27:54

Maqamukaram and Madinah Munawara. They were a minority

00:27:54 --> 00:27:57

in the Arabian Peninsula. And Sayidna Ali

00:27:57 --> 00:27:59

who would walk in the streets of Kufa,

00:27:59 --> 00:28:02

majority of its population is what? Kafirs.

00:28:03 --> 00:28:05

They probably walked by drunks just like you

00:28:05 --> 00:28:07

and me walked by drunkards in frat row.

00:28:07 --> 00:28:08

You can't you know, you're not gonna do

00:28:08 --> 00:28:09

anything about it because that's what their thing

00:28:09 --> 00:28:11

is. That's what they do. They're not you

00:28:11 --> 00:28:13

know, that's their thing. But even the companions

00:28:13 --> 00:28:15

used to do that, but what they commanded

00:28:15 --> 00:28:17

they they commanded presence because they were able

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

to put these things together.

00:28:19 --> 00:28:20

And maybe if we're able to put these

00:28:20 --> 00:28:22

things together, not only in the asbaab, you

00:28:22 --> 00:28:24

know, the the the the kind of, like,

00:28:24 --> 00:28:25

worldly,

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

sensible

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

sense that we can have some sort of

00:28:29 --> 00:28:31

relevance and impact,

00:28:32 --> 00:28:34

but we're saying what it's something so much

00:28:34 --> 00:28:36

more great than that because once you walk

00:28:36 --> 00:28:38

that path you receive the madad of Allah

00:28:38 --> 00:28:38

and His Rasul

00:28:40 --> 00:28:42

and the hand of providence. Dusti Khudrat then

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

afterward

00:28:43 --> 00:28:45

will will will make a way for you

00:28:45 --> 00:28:45

that wasn't

00:28:46 --> 00:28:47

possible through planning

00:28:48 --> 00:28:50

or through your own guile or your own

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

wit. Allah

00:28:52 --> 00:28:53

give us tawfiq and bring Islam to the

00:28:53 --> 00:28:54

Umasidh Muhammad

00:28:56 --> 00:28:57

and then this,

00:28:57 --> 00:29:00

Mubarak gathering on this, blessed night that we

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

prayed our salah together and we read the

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

pasidah,

00:29:03 --> 00:29:04

and that we

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

shared,

00:29:06 --> 00:29:09

you know, a good hour together that Allah

00:29:09 --> 00:29:12

take out whatever runj and whatever,

00:29:12 --> 00:29:15

heqad and whatever hatred and and whatever poison

00:29:15 --> 00:29:17

that we have in our hearts for, the

00:29:17 --> 00:29:19

people of La ilaha illallah, and He replaced

00:29:19 --> 00:29:21

it with love and He replaced it with

00:29:21 --> 00:29:23

nur and whatever harm and hurt that we've

00:29:23 --> 00:29:24

received from other,

00:29:25 --> 00:29:27

Muslims that Allah

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

give us the ability to grow, so that

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

we no longer see them as a threat

00:29:31 --> 00:29:33

anymore, but we see them as a

00:29:34 --> 00:29:35

means

00:29:37 --> 00:29:38

by which we can

00:29:38 --> 00:29:40

reach the radar of Allah

00:29:41 --> 00:29:42

May Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala make us people

00:29:42 --> 00:29:45

who make isla'in, the Umasayid Muhammad sallallahu alaihi

00:29:45 --> 00:29:46

wa sallam so much so that he and

00:29:46 --> 00:29:49

his companions that that that gave their their

00:29:49 --> 00:29:49

lives

00:29:50 --> 00:29:52

and that gave their their tears and that

00:29:52 --> 00:29:54

gave their du'as and their prayers and that

00:29:54 --> 00:29:56

gave the tawaju have their heart so that

00:29:56 --> 00:29:59

this deen can spread, through the earth and

00:29:59 --> 00:30:01

that generation after generation that people can call

00:30:01 --> 00:30:03

on Allah alone without any partner and attain

00:30:03 --> 00:30:05

salvation in the hereafter. That on the day

00:30:05 --> 00:30:06

of judgment that

00:30:07 --> 00:30:09

we're we're from this jiu the ones that

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

they're proud of rather than the ones that

00:30:11 --> 00:30:12

are an embarrassment to them.
