All praises to Allah.
All praises to Allah.
All praises to Allah who guided us to
this,
who guided us to Islam and to Iman
and to His Mubarak house on this Mubarak
hour of this Mubarak day. And we were
not to be guided, was it not that
Allah had guided us?
Oh Allah to you is praised as is
commensurate with the majesty of your countenance and
the greatness of your authority.
Oh, Allah, we do not limit you with
any praise we can come up with ourselves.
Rather, we admit that you're the only one
who knows the true extent of your praise
worthiness.
And may the peace and blessings of Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala be upon his servant and
messenger, our master, Saydna Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
May the peace and blessings of Allah Ta'ala
be upon him
and upon his noble companions, and upon his
pure wives, and upon his Mubarak and blessed
family and progeny,
and upon all of those who follow all
of their way until the day of judgement.
With great sadness
and
agitation.
I report that
the number of casualties
in Gaza has exceeded 10,000.
The number of masajid that have been bombed
to obliteration
is over 36. These are places of worship.
In this very Masjid,
during the Friday talk,
we spoke about
the
completely fabricated
denial
of the Israeli occupation forces
that they had bombed
the
Mahmadani
Hospital in Gaza.
And it turned out even their most
compromised and shield mouthpieces
in the legacy media,
eventually after a couple of weeks had to
accept the fact that the origin of the
attack came from Israel, and they said, Oh,
maybe it's still it's still, you know, terrorists
or whatever.
But none of the pieces fit together.
They at least had to acknowledge that the
original
set of lies that were put out by
the Israelis
I don't say original story because originally they
actually boasted about it. Not only did they
accept that they did it, they boasted about
it.
But the original set of lies are completely
untenable, unplausible.
I'm very agitated to report now there's not
a major hospital
in Gaza,
except for they're bombing them almost daily.
They're using new types of munition.
There's an RX 9 missile.
The way the missile works is it fans
out blades.
It's supposed to hit targeted
people. It's fanning out blades, what does it
do? It cuts people to pieces.
And the whole point of this
missile being manufactured and developed and sent by
the United States, by the country that we're
in right now,
is so that you can hit targeted people.
If you're trying to hit military
targets,
and you don't want to use an explosive,
you don't wanna damage any civilian infrastructure,
You use this missile which is
designed for such a,
an operation.
That it was
dropped in the vicinity of a hospital
right next to a tent that was
a tent where journalists
centered themselves.
It hit a bunch of journalists and it
also hit what?
Doctors and sick people who were coming and
going from the hospital.
This is the level of abuse that's going
on,
in Gaza.
Over 10,000
about half of which are children.
The other half of which almost all, if
not all of them are civilians. I just
listened to a
an interview with Alastair Crook. The man is
not a Muslim, he's not
in the masjid, he's not a Palestinian fanatic
or a Muslim fanatic. He's none of those
things. He actually used to work for the
British Foreign Office,
and had a very long career. He worked
for the, Department of State in America, had
a very long career,
worked for some of the people who are
actually directly responsible for the situation that's here,
because the situation that we're in right now
didn't start on the 7th October. It didn't
start yesterday. It didn't start last week, it
didn't start last year.
He said, out of my analysis of all
of the
footage that's coming out, and all of the
intelligence, and all the information that's coming out
of Gaza.
Out of these over 10,000 people, not one
of them is
confirmed to be
a militant, or a soldier, or a combatant
of any kind. This is one of the
proofs of that.
Is what one of the proofs of that
is that they haven't found in any picture
any weapons coming out of rubble.
When you kill a combatant, they have weapons,
they're armed, they have weapons with them.
So he says that Israel is bombing every
hospital in Gaza, with impunity.
And he says, The irony of ironies is
what? You don't see footage of even one
militant. Because there is a an invasion of
Gaza that's happening currently.
There is boast in American media, in Israeli
media that
Gaza city is completely
encircled
from the beach, and from the north, and
from the south,
from the east.
And you can see all of the flares
and the weapons, the white phosphorus, the bombs.
By day and by night they're falling,
and still they haven't showed the footage of
1 militant being killed yet. Even though there's
footage of Israeli soldiers actually getting
killed in battle.
There's not footage of 1 militant being killed
yet. What does this tell you? All of
these things you're being fed, and I'm being
fed is a lie. Has nothing to do
with whether you support hamas or not.
All of it is a complete lie. All
of the bombing is complete impunity.
All of it is the humiliation that the
Israeli occupier has suffered,
and the lack of confidence that they have
now with their own people,
that this is a completely political vendetta, this
is a completely
fanatical and maniacal vendetta that's being pursued. It
has nothing to do even with a political
agenda that we disagree with because none of
those political agendas are being fulfilled right now.
This is the situation
overseas.
What the situation in
Illinois is.
Because someone says, Why? This guy is giving
chuppah again and again week after week. It's
been so long. It's been a month.
And he's talking about a strip of land
somewhere overseas, talk about something that has to
do with our deen. I'll tell you something
that has to do with your deen and
my deen.
America
has a federal system. We have a federal
government
that irrigates
certain
controls of the country
to the exclusion of the states.
So a state in America under the federal
system,
which is very clearly
delineated in the constitution.
A state doesn't have the right to have
foreign relations with a foreign country
that somehow are separate or conflict with the
foreign relations of
the Federal Government.
The federal government is the one sending all
of these weapons. The federal government has been
sending all of these weapons for so many
years. This is itself a problem.
But it's a little bit more diffuse because
a person,
one person has less influence on what the
federal government does than what they have on
their own local politics.
That being said,
separate states in the capacity of their own
state governments in the United States of America
have purchased over
$200,000,000
in Israeli war bonds.
What is an what is a a bond?
A bond when a government does something,
in, you know, modern governance. What happens for
example, if you wanna build a road, or
you wanna raise the army, you wanna do
something or another? It's not like
the government has a bunch of money that
they saved up for like 10 years in
order to pay for things like that. What
they do is that the the the whatever
legislative body will make a decision that we're
gonna build a road, we're gonna build a
school, we're going to build an airport, we're
going to spend money on this issue, on
that issue,
whatever. We're gonna hire so many people, etcetera.
And in order to pay for those things,
what they do is that they
borrow money from the public and they guarantee
some sort of fixed rate of return.
This is obviously riba. It's an invalid transaction
in the sharia,
but one would hope that people know this
by now. And at any rate, Illinois, whatever
you want to say about it or you
don't, it never claimed itself nor did anyone
incredibly accuse it of running on a Sharay
system.
Nor Israel for that matter.
So what happened is after
the events of October 7th,
Israel has been raising war bonds in order
to pay for
what? The killing of 10,000 people, the bombing
of hospitals,
the choking of
international,
relief to
children and women. Basically paying for genocide,
paying for the PR for genocide, paying for
all of these things, the armament of those
people who will enforce this genocide.
American States, not the federal government, separate American
States at the head of which is Florida,
But which includes what includes Illinois
$10,000,000
in war bonds
the state of Illinois has purchased and put
in its quote unquote investment portfolio.
According to a press release by the secretary,
of the treasury
I can read the text for you verbatim
if you,
wish to have,
your own,
judgment, if in case you think that I
might be somehow exaggerating something or saying something
that's,
incorrect in order to rip up
fanatical or demagogic,
feelings in people.
Illinois state treasurer Michael Frerichs announces an additional
$12 $20,000,000
investment in Israel.
Investment shows strong commitment to the only democracy
in the Middle East.
Even though interestingly enough, Hamas is the whatever,
whether you support it or not, whether you
like it or not, It was actually the
elected government not only of Gaza, but of
the entire Palestinian state.
And in general
What they're calling the only democracy in the
Middle East is what it's an apartheid state
Palestinians literally have a different color license plate
than Israeli Jews do.
Israeli Arabs have a different color license plate
than Israeli Jews do. Just like Hitler used
to make,
the Jews wear a patch on their
clothing in order to what?
In order to mark them out that you
can do whatever you want to such people,
that they have limited and diminished rights, you
can visually assess it. Just like that.
Just like that.
And so he says, It's the investment and
the only democracy in the Middle East. Even
though Iran is a democracy, they have elections.
Turkey is a democracy, they have elections.
Other countries have elections as well.
Jordan has elections. All of these countries, you
can debate
how really how much of a democracy is
it. But at any rate, they don't require
people to have different color license plates when
they drive down the street. Do they?
If you want to argue about democracy, by
that standard,
if some small objection makes you not a
democracy anymore, then in that sense even America
is not a democracy. If you don't believe
me, go watch MSNBC and watch Fox News,
what they say about one another, and I
don't believe any of it.
So they say what? As if we are
not humans, we're like some sort of monkeys
or something like that. We don't exist as
Muslims,
as the brown people of the world.
He says, investment shows strong commitment to the
only democracy in the Middle East. Springfield, Illinois
state treasurer Michael Frerichs, tonight, today announced his
office will
invest an additional 20,000,000 in Israeli bonds.
Quote,
this investment shows our strong commitment to Israel
and its people. My office has invested in
these Israel bonds because
the diversity of the state's portfolio achieved good
returns, offer
a safe investment, and affirm the special relationship
between Illinois and the only democracy in the
Middle East. This is why what's happening?
Genocide.
What is the textbook genocide definition of genocide?
It means to remove
a people or a culture entirely from a
place to completely destroy them.
This week, there was announced that there will
be a daily 4 hour pause in the
bombing by Israel. It hasn't whether whether it's
gonna be carried out or not, allata'ala knows
best. The stated goal of that day 4
hour pause is what? So people from the
north of Gaza can go to the south
of Gaza.
And the stated objective of that is what?
Is that they're going to open the Rafah
border
and force everybody into the Sinai.
Already Canada said we're going to give so
many, like, hundreds of thousands of visas and
other countries are going to basically take these
people
away. Why? Because they want to ethnic cleanse.
They want to genocide the population of Gaza.
And so your state and my state. This
is not a DC issue. This is an
Illinois issue.
You get your
money tax,
your your income that you,
earn.
It gets taxed.
There's a state income tax, there's a state
Sales tax
You drive a car There are stamps and
stickers and things like that that you pay
for
Everything has a tax your state tax money
is going to what?
It's going to invest in the quote only
democracy in the Middle East. That includes
he says that, Frederick's
office has invested in Israel bonds since he
became the state treasurer in 2015.
Israel never defaulted in more than 70 years
of Israel bonds program. Why? Because it's a
complete
Ponzi scheme. What do you do? You borrow
more money to pay the previous debts that
you're not able to pay off into the
future.
If someone gave me a $120,000,000,
I wouldn't default on my debts as well.
And if I was about to, I would
just borrow a $130,000,000
and there you go. Problem solved. It
says
under Furex leadership, Illinois investment in the United
States strategic partner has not exceeded
$120,000,000
$120,000,000
of Illinois money is where?
Propping up genocide.
Propping up genocide.
That includes 10,000,000 in 10,000,000 in investment in
Israeli bonds that the Illinois treasurer's office made
last month following the Hamas terrorist organization
attack on October 7th.
During that round, state and local government investments
also came from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Florida
Florida Department of Financial Services, New York Common
Retirement Fund, Texas Comptroller of Public Affairs, State
Treasury, the Treasury of Ohio,
Palm Beach County, and many more. What's the
fun part of all of this?
I'm not telling you about politics. I'm telling
you about Islam. Genocide is haram.
Killing women and children, bombing hospitals,
bombing places of worship, churches, masajid,
is 100%
odious and should upset anybody who has an
ounce of humanity inside of them.
And your money is going to pay for
that. Politically, you can do whatever you want
about that, but you should know that. And
you should know that Islam teaches such a
course of action
is 100%
evil, 100%
disgusting, depraved, and this is something all of
us will have to give answer to on
the day of judgment. Look, I understand. Somebody
may be like, Look, I I barely understand
enough English to understand what you're saying right
now. How am I going to, as one
individual, change anything in the state of Illinois?
The thing, you cannot change a 100% on
your own, you're not allowed to abandon 100%
on your own.
Again, your neighbors, your friends, people you work
with, people you go to school with.
They are starting to find out that the
genocide is happening.
What should they know? They should know they're
paying for it. Not just in the federal
government, but they should know that they're paying
for it in this local government.
Some of the bonds are being paid for
by like Alabama. Alabama has a very small
Muslim community. I don't know what the
situation of the Muslim community in Alabama is.
You right now,
in this area bounded by 294,
295,
and 88.
Dozens dozens of places to pray,
including masajid. Dozens of jum'az happen. Several Islamic
schools. There are entire badars where you can
memorize the Quran from alifba ta'atah through your
hiblahatahatahasharah.
You can read all the way to Sahih
Bukhar in several places in
this small area,
the likes of which you don't even have
in the Muslim world in some places.
You cannot
drive down any street in Lombard, in Villa
Park, in Addison, any of these places except
for what? You see a niqab, you see
a hijab, you see a beard, you see
someone dressed in traditional clothing.
If in places like this we don't manage
at least to be heard about this issue,
to make some sort of
alarm be raised that people understand
something about this issue, then
this is
a completely unacceptable
unacceptable failure on our part.
We have to
also understand on the day of judgment, everybody
else, just like they're going to give some
sort of answer to Allah
for what they did, what they didn't do,
We also are going to give some sort
of answer about what we did, and what
we didn't do.
We are materially participant. This is already a
known fact, not just at the federal level
also at the local level.
There are maybe about a dozen states that
did this. It's not all 50 states, but
we happen to live in one of them.
Now tell me, what does it mean when
a young boy in in Plainfield
is stabbed 26 times?
26 times by a man. He had a
janazah and the,
you know, the governor of the state sent
condolences.
Politically, you tell me. You're a smart person,
some of you are more savvy than I
am.
Your more streets Kids born and raised in
America are not street smart.
We're completely gullible.
People who were born and raised in much
of the Muslim world, you guys know who's
hustling you who's lying and who's telling the
truth you tell me
He gave condolences for that one child and
now he sent $30,000,000
30,000,000, 10,000,000 immediately, and now 20,000,000
in excess of that.
To buy war bonds in a country that
is
involved in genocide as we speak.
You tell me, what do you think that
those condolences for the blood of this one
child are sincere?
This one child was stabbed 26 times. What
about all the other children we see every
day being pulled out of the rubble?
Why is it that the hospitals are being
bombed?
Can you imagine physically how much labor it
is to pull somebody out of the rubble
of a destroyed building on top of the
danger?
We're lazy people. Can you imagine that? That
people are still day after day, day after
day, digging through rubble. Everyday there's a new
building destroyed. Over 50%
of the residential
capacity of Gaza has been destroyed.
50% of the houses are are gone.
They're rubble, they're
craters in the ground, they're piles of dust.
Still every day those people who are also
living in that blockade, they don't have anything
to eat. They don't have anything to drink.
They're drinking water that's contaminated with sewage because
the Israelis
in on purpose bond the
water lines so that the clean water and
the dirty water mix.
So they're sick every day. They don't have
enough calories. They didn't have enough calories to
live from before, now it's completely a pittance.
But still look at the Himma.
They still bother to dig. They still bother
to take the sick and the wounded to
the hospitals.
The doctors in the hospitals, you think they're
getting paid? Here in America, whenever I see
a kid, they say I wanna go to
medical school so I can help people. I
roll my eyes because of
I'm not stupid.
Wow. Isn't it a shock when a doctor
actually wants to help people?
Here, you tell them you don't have insurance
and see what happens to their faces.
Doctors are literally
still operating on people. They take shifts, they
don't even sleep.
Back to back shifts.
They operate on people without anesthesia. They operate
there are people lying on the floors of
the hospital. You know what that is? That's
resilience. That's courage. That's what people who want
to live. And so people who rather than
what the accusations of somehow Muslims being part
of the death cult, and they raise their
kids to die, and all this other nonsense.
All of those things are what? Every accusation
is in fact a confession, from the occupier.
These people want to then they bomb the
hospitals. Why? Because they want to destroy hope.
Bahiyyah, how many hospitals are you gonna bomb
in order to destroy the hope of somebody
who believes in Allah ta'ala?
Will you kill Allah ta'ala,
Will you send the F16 to bomb Allah
Do you think you can win this? Absolutely,
100%. You cannot win it in this world,
and you cannot win it in the hereafter.
But coming back to us, because we have
enough to eat, we have water to drink,
we have hospitals that are fully functional.
You and me have already started on the
back foot. Our money without us knowing or
approving of it has already been sent.
$20,000,000
on top of 10,000,000 from the beginning of
7th October
and a 120,000,000
before this latest round. So a $140,000,000
of this state's money
is Now what quote unquote invested in Israeli
bonds? In what in genocide? It's going to
pay for genocide.
We have to make up for this somehow
or another.
We have to tell one another. We have
to make our voices heard. We have to
write letters. You know, it's funny. Someone says,
you know, write letters to the your,
representatives, they don't care. This is 100% true
that they don't care.
It's 100% true that they do not care.
In fact, I just read an article today
in the HuffPost
that
most
Representatives in this country are so beholden to
APAC's lobby
That they're told when you get a call
about Palestine, just let it go to voicemail
Even though the staffers themselves are distraught
But did you hear the names that are
mentioned in this?
In this,
dispatch by
treasury,
sorry,
treasurer forex,
what names are mentioned? Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Michigan.
Right? These are all swing states.
There's going to be an absolute demolition
on election day.
And candidates are elected
first, not by votes, but by money.
And second afterward, they're
Elected by votes.
What is the problem? The problem is that
we don't
think together.
We come to the Masjid like it's Taco
Bell or McDonald's.
You tell me am I lying stand up
you can pull me aside and put somebody
else in the
pulpit after today
What do I mean by that? What I
mean is it's drive through
at the time
Why because I got what I wanted. I
wanted 2 burritos and that's it. I'm out.
I wanted a happy meal.
I'm out. I'm done
We have no meaningful connection to it other
than that, which is great You know look
the people who are praying Jummah are like
the elite of the Muslims more than half
of the people in the Ummah as a
very conservative estimate in the community in America,
I should say
Don't even go to Eid
The most heavily attended, and the only salat
I can tell in America
that a majority of Muslims attend is their
own janazah. Other than that,
it's not there.
That's fine.
You you guys are here. You're the elite
of the Ummah. No need to speak bad
about anybody else. You're the one going to
Jannah. You're gonna have a high maqam. Allah
ta'ala make it happen. Say, Amin. Amin.
Now what do we need to do? We
need to have some sort of way that
people can come together and buy into some
kind of plan. Whether you agree about this
or you agree about that,
Someone says we should write letters. Someone said
we should raise money for this candidate. No,
I think we should do it for that
candidate.
Whoever or whatever it is. Even if you
disagree with it, there should be some plan.
Even if the plan today is what? That
the Masjid is going to buy a cat
in order to help the people of Gaza.
Is there any benefit in buying a cat?
Is there?
What do you think? Do you think do
you think there's benefit?
Is there?
Go ahead. Answer the question. It's not the
khutbah. No, there's no benefit.
Okay?
But you know what the benefit is? At
least we did something together.
We it's easier to change your mind from
doing something that's a waste of time to
do something you that's useful.
Than it is from doing nothing to doing
something.
From being able to do something even though
we don't agree on it, but we say,
We're together. We're gonna do this together. There's
some sort of benefit in that.
By next week,
there should be some sort of table over
here.
There should be We have people in this,
Jumah Khutba who are lawyers.
Where are my lawyers? Raise your hand.
Right? We have people who are
professionals. We are people who have some money.
Doesn't need a lot of money.
Somebody to just volunteer.
Who's going to go ahead raise your hand.
Who's gonna bring a box of envelopes next
month next
Jamah?
Bring
you know 200 envelopes who's gonna bring a
100 postage stamps?
Bring a 100 postage stamps
Okay, who's going to I'll send you the
letter you talk to me after draw I'll
write the letter myself
Who's gonna print out 200 copies of a
letter that all you have to do is
put your name, address, sign, and then put
it in an envelope someone else brought and
with a postage stamp that somebody else brought.
Who's gonna pay for 200 letters? I'll print
them myself. Who's gonna pay for it? Raise
your hand.
I'll do it. I'll do it. I'll pay
for
it. Now afterward on the outside, who's gonna
say It's not worth my time. I have
to go back to work.
Who's gonna say, Oh, this is Zionist conspiracy
itself. As well as somehow or another, as
if like Zionists are like God. They can
see everything, they do everything,
they can alter the qadr of Allah Ta'ala
written in loomafool.
Who's gonna say, I don't want to do
this because this this guy who paid for
this, you know, he's from the north and
I'm from the south.
And he is from the east and I'm
from the west.
And this guy is this malham, and I'm
this malham. And this guy follows this group,
and I follow the other group. This guy
is this thing, and I'm the other thing.
Brothers and sisters, like I said, if so
if if I found the
across the street, there was
a gay nightclub.
And they were able to do something about
children being killed, hospitals being bombed, being stopped.
I would go across the street, I would
shake hands with them, and I would participate
in them.
All the other things they did that are
wrong are still wrong.
But in order to hold back the blood
of an innocent person being spilled, I would
do it.
Don't be tired.
There are people who are now
a month into digging.
A month into digging, a month and 3
days into digging,
bodies
and digging, the injured out of rubble.
There are a month 3 days of doctors
operating now without anesthesia and without electricity.
There are months, and even then the hospitals
are being bombed, they're still doing as much
as they can.
Allah gives him in the Quran
to the companions of the Allahu and to
the entire ummah.
That your enemies, they feel pain just like
you feel pain.
They're not some sort of like, you know,
like with $20,000,000,000
$20,000,000,000
You spend $20,000,000,000,000.
What are you gonna do? Fight with Allah
At the end of the day, everyone is
a human being.
Everybody is the same. Every they're all they're
humans. You're a human. They're gonna die. You're
gonna die.
You have cholesterol problems, they have cholesterol. You
have bad blood sugar, they have bad blood
sugar. Every single problem you have, they have
as well.
All of these fictions, what do they do?
They just make a person drunk and think,
Look, I'm invincible. And so, Allahu Ta'ala gives
them a little bit of pumps to see
what what would they do if they had
no constraints on them.
They feel pain like you feel pain.
But you know what? You hope for something
from Allah ka'ala that they have no hope
for whatsoever. You think a baby killer says,
When I die,
I'm gonna go back to Allah and if
something good is gonna happen to me? One
of the reasons they fight so hard is
because they know themselves inside their own fitrah,
inside of their own ruh, inside of their
own ruh, which was asked by Allah
Am I not your Lord? All of them
said, Yes. They knew inside their very spirit
that what? I have nothing,
nothing to look forward to except for the
fire.
So have some sort of hima, be brave.
Those people who are in the hospital that
are shuhada, Allah ta'ala elevate their rank, and
not let their blood be shed in vain.
May Allah ta'ala give them all the for
the little bit of harakah that you and
I are doing. Allah give them sabr and
tabbat and make them firm in their
dignity, their honor, in their life, in their
deen,
in their property.
Everything Allah give them barakah in it. You
and me also Allah gave us this opportunity.
So if you're not gonna pay for anything,
you're not gonna get anything, you're not gonna
bring anything.
If you can't even just walk over to
a table and waits 5 7 minutes next
week in order to sign something.
I You know, I guess
I'm not gonna say you're not a Muslim.
I'm not even gonna say you're a bad
person
But at the end of the day, we
all know the situation that we're in, why
we're in that situation.
We all have an opportunity to do something
better. May Allah
everybody in whatever way possible for them that
does something to help, to say something, at
least to foster inside of their heart this
understanding we should be doing something. May Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala accept it from everybody, and
give everybody a maqam on the day of
judgment according to what it is that they
did, and according to what it is that
they did, and what it is that they
tawfiq
So it'll take a couple of minutes to
read your sunnahs.
