00:00:27 --> 00:00:29
			All praises to Allah,
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:32
			and may His peace and blessings be upon
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:34
			His servant and messenger, our master Sayyidom, Muhammad
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:36
			Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:42
			All praise to Allah in all
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:44
			situations,
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:46
			in all conditions.
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51
			This week, we have seen
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:53
			an escalation in bloodletting.
		
00:00:57 --> 00:01:00
			Hundreds of people being killed every day.
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:02
			There is no longer
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:06
			any even pretense or bother to lie
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:08
			about why civilians,
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:09
			hospitals,
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:10
			places of worship,
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:12
			or other
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:14
			completely unjustifiable
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:16
			targets are being targeted
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:20
			by the air and by the ground.
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:26
			We see pictures of
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:29
			the Umarid Masjid in Gaza,
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:32
			the oldest Jamer Masjid
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:33
			in
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:34
			Gaza
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:36
			being destroyed
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:42
			by the same media and by the same
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:43
			governments who
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49
			will make a huge cry
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:52
			about the cultural artifacts
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:53
			of
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:55
			other peoples being destroyed,
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:57
			of the Romans, of the Greeks,
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00
			of the Persians, of the Buddhists, of the
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:01
			Hindus,
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:04
			of idolaters,
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:05
			of pagans.
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:07
			This day,
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:11
			they are not only silent, rather they are
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:11
			cheering on
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:13
			and
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:14
			encouraging
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:19
			the destruction of not just the archaeological
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:23
			patrimony of the Muslims, but even, inexplicably,
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:24
			of the Christians themselves
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:28
			without saying a word.
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:34
			Ground forces are going house to house,
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:37
			killing men on the spot.
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:41
			1 of the strangest pictures I saw
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:46
			was of grown men, their bodies littered in
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:46
			the streets.
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:51
			The wounds were all gunshots to the back
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:51
			of the head.
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:54
			What is it? It's an execution.
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:59
			And I saw on one of the shuhada,
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:01
			may Allah ta'ala accept their
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:06
			shuhada. A cat was sitting on his chest
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:07
			as if to guard him.
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:15
			There's nobody left from the humans to guard
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:16
			them anymore.
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:24
			Women are saying that they are going house
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:26
			to house telling men to come out and
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:27
			shooting the men on the spot.
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:32
			There was a big declaration by the Israeli
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:33
			occupation forces
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:35
			that we have
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:40
			captured Hamas fighters.
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:44
			What did they do? They handcuffed them. They
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:46
			stripped them down to their underwear. This is
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:48
			also a type of sexual abuse, by the
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:48
			way.
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:50
			Many of the allegations
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:53
			of sexual abuse against
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:54
			Hamas was what?
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:57
			Just that they caught people at a rave.
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:59
			They weren't wearing clothes to the rave. And
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:00
			they were caught the way they were caught.
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:04
			This time they actually stripped them naked and
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:06
			handcuffed them and took them and took pictures
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:08
			in front of what seems to be a
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:10
			mass grave. And Lord knows what happened afterward.
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:16
			People actually
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:18
			identified individuals
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:19
			in the pictures.
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:23
			Saying these people are not fighters. This is
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:25
			a reporter. This is a school teacher. It
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:27
			turns out that all of these people were
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:29
			civilians that were seeking refuge in a United
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:30
			Nations school.
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:33
			And from there, all of them were pulled
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:35
			out in order to be led to their
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:36
			deaths.
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:40
			I have hope that they didn't die. I
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:42
			have hope that the pictures came out in
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:45
			time in order to stop people, and it
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:48
			caused a furore in the international community.
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:50
			Because all I see is our Bosnian brothers
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:53
			and sisters immediately immediately said, this is exactly
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:55
			the same thing that the Serbs did to
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:55
			us in Srebrenica
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:58
			when they promised us that if you surrender,
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:00
			we'll let you live.
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:05
			Now, the point of reciting all of these
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:07
			things is what? It's not only just to
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:10
			make people upset and make people sad. It's
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:11
			to illustrate
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:14
			one of many lessons that we can learn
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:14
			from this.
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:19
			Which is what when somebody is a bully.
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:23
			When somebody has shown you in word, in
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:25
			deed, time and time again,
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:27
			that their intention is nothing but evil and
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:30
			they will miss no opportunity in order to
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:31
			be evil to you.
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:35
			That you have no interest whatsoever
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:36
			in
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:39
			listening to anything they say except for as
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:39
			a lie.
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:42
			You have no interest in obeying anything that
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:44
			they tell you to do except for that
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:45
			you have knowledge that this is going to
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:47
			be something that harms you.
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:50
			They told them go from the north to
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:52
			the south. They will be safe. Many people
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:54
			didn't go south. Why? Because they know they're
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:54
			liars.
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:58
			What ends up happening? Everybody is concentrated into
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:00
			the south. They bomb it.
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:04
			Then afterward, they say, Leave from these places
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:05
			to the south to other places in the
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:07
			south to the point where they want 2,000,000
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:08
			people to concentrate
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:11
			in an area which is smaller than Heathrow
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:12
			Airport in London.
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:15
			Even there, they're killing people.
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:21
			Islam teaches us what? It teaches us good
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:23
			manners. It teaches us to believe people, not
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:25
			to have suspicion of people, unnecessarily
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:28
			an unwarranted suspicion. It teaches us to be
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:29
			kind to people. It teaches us to give
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:31
			people the benefit of the doubt, But to
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:33
			a particular limit. Not to make a fool
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:34
			out of yourself.
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:37
			When someone has shown you time and time
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:39
			again everything they say is a lie. When
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:41
			somebody has shown you time and time again,
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:44
			they have no interest in your well-being. When
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:45
			they've shown you time and time again that
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:47
			they will spare no opportunity
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:50
			in order to harm you. Whether it be
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:53
			on a personal level, whether it be
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:56
			on a societal level, whether it be on
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:58
			a state level, on a county level, on
		
00:06:58 --> 00:06:59
			a city level,
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:02
			on a political level, on an economic level,
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:04
			on a national level, on an international level,
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:09
			you are neither rewarded for believing them nor
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:11
			are you expected to believe them nor is
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:13
			it considered anything good in any way, shape,
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:14
			or form.
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:18
			Rather these are tests that Allah ta'ala always
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:21
			tested the believers with that from the time
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:22
			of Sayna Adam alayhis salam
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:25
			all the way until the day of judgment
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:27
			is established when the last person who knows
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:29
			the divine name Allah Allah leaves this world.
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:33
			Every person who says La ilaha illallah will
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:33
			be tested.
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:37
			And that test will not be easy.
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:40
			Every person who preaches like myself with great
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:43
			confidence about that test, every person will themselves
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:45
			be shaken to the core.
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:48
			Will themselves be broken to the point of
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:49
			doubting themself.
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:53
			Will be pushed to the point of doubting
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:53
			themself.
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:57
			This is where the help of Allah ta'ala
		
00:07:57 --> 00:07:59
			comes that if you persist and you perceive
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:02
			through the darkest hour that a person can
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:02
			go through,
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:05
			this is where the help of Allah Ta'ala
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:05
			comes.
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:09
			And Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala gives you the
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:09
			permission
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:13
			to fight back on your behalf.
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:16
			He not only gives you the permission, He
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:18
			encourages you not just to fight back, to
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:20
			defend yourself, to defend your life,
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:23
			defend your deen, to defend your family, defend
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:25
			your wealth, and defend your honor,
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:27
			He glorifies it.
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:32
			And some people, they're passing the test will
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:33
			be to stand and fight and be victorious.
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:35
			Some people, their test is going to stand
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:37
			and fight and to give their life for
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:38
			His sake.
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:41
			One of the highest maqamat, one of the
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:44
			highest maqamat, one of the highest stations and
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:46
			positions that a person can achieve in the
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:47
			test of this life
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:50
			is that a person should be a shahid
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:52
			That they should be a martyr in the
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:54
			path of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:57
			The shahid is of many types.
		
00:08:57 --> 00:09:00
			The greatest is the one who fights and
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:00
			gives their life,
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:06
			That they fight and they give their lives
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:07
			so that the word of Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:09
			ta'ala can be made supreme.
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:12
			This is
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:16
			the right of every believer
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:18
			to attain,
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:21
			and this is the mandate of every believer
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:22
			to desire.
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:24
			The Messenger of Allah
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:27
			said, that whoever asks Allah
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:31
			with sincerity that He should give him the
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:33
			death of a shahid, of a martyr.
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:35
			Allah
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:38
			will write for him the reward of such
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:39
			a death even if they should die of
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:41
			old age in their bed.
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:45
			Without this, a person's iman is not complete.
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:47
			This is the thing that
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:50
			the Ambia alayhi mus salam made dua for.
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:52
			This is the thing that Ashab Kiran
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:54
			made dua for.
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:56
			They didn't used to run away from it.
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:58
			They didn't used to
		
00:09:58 --> 00:10:00
			hide it. They didn't used to be ashamed
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:01
			of it,
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:02
			much less
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:04
			dislike it.
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:09
			Rasulullah salallahu alaihi wa sallam much to the
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:13
			contrary described a time in which the nations
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:13
			of the earth
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:17
			would come upon and fall upon the people
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:18
			of this Ummah
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:22
			like hungry people fall upon a plate of
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:22
			food.
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:26
			And he says, indeed verily Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:27
			Ta'ala will take away
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:31
			their fear of you from their hearts.
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:33
			And indeed Allah Ta'w will cast into your
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:35
			own hearts weakness and fear.
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:40
			And what is the
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:44
			reason for this? They asked You Rasool Allah.
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:45
			And He said,
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:48
			said, What is
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:50
			1? 1 in Arabic linguistically
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:53
			means a type of complete like weakness.
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:55
			So what is this complete weakness that you're
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:57
			talking about, the O Messenger of Allah?
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:02
			The love of this world and the hatred
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:03
			of death.
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:07
			Of course, nobody likes to die, but everyone
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:08
			knows that they're supposed to die at one
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:10
			point. And just like a sick person who
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:12
			knows there is a
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:16
			surgery that they can undergo, that will remove
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:18
			the pain and make them well again.
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:20
			Just like a person should look forward to
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:22
			that, even though nobody likes the idea of
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:23
			getting cut with a knife.
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:25
			Just like that, every believer
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:28
			should look forward to dying in a state
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:30
			that Allah is pleased with them. And that
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:32
			He should trade the life of this world
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:34
			with everlasting life, and with
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:38
			That He should be pleased with you.
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:41
			That He should trade it
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:43
			for you for a life of eternal bliss.
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:47
			The problem is that people have stopped thinking
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:49
			about this because of that instead of defending
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:52
			themselves, instead of standing up for themselves.
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:55
			They've tried to reason with bullies. And a
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:57
			bully is not someone you reason with. A
		
00:11:57 --> 00:11:59
			bully, if you give him an inch, he'll
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:00
			take another 6 inches.
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:03
			If you give him a dollar, he'll take
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:05
			another dollar from you.
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:06
			If you give him
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:09
			a day, he'll take a week from you.
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:12
			If you give him a little bit of
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:14
			you, he'll take all of you instead.
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:18
			This is the way it's been since the
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:18
			very beginning.
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:22
			So many examples of it.
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:26
			Just like the Israelis told them, you'll be
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:27
			safe, and they led them to an execution
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:28
			pit.
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:30
			Just like the Serbs, they said the same
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:32
			thing. I we had a tour of Srebrenica.
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:34
			I visited Bosnia not even a year ago
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:37
			or maybe slightly more than a year ago.
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:42
			The brother who gave us the tour, he
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:44
			said, I was there during the entire thing.
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:46
			I told my people. He said, I had
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:47
			a pistol and I had a rifle. They
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:49
			took my rifle. The UN took my rifle
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:50
			away from me. They said, we'll defend you.
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:51
			He said, I know they were gonna defend
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:52
			us.
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:54
			When the Serbs said,
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:57
			You surrender, we'll let you live. We'll give
		
00:12:57 --> 00:12:58
			you safe passage. I knew they were gonna
		
00:12:58 --> 00:13:00
			kill every single one of us.
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:03
			He said, I told the people, don't listen
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:06
			to them. And we walked through the mountains
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:07
			and we dodged the snipers.
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:11
			We hid in trees. We hid in brush.
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:14
			He said we could hide from the soldiers.
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:15
			We couldn't hide from the dogs. He said
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:18
			I never was afraid of a soldier. Always
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:20
			the barking of dogs made me afraid.
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:23
			He said, Even along the way,
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:26
			they would tell people, If you if you
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:28
			surrender They would send our own people from
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:30
			their prisoners and said, If you surrender right
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:33
			now, we'll let you live. He said, Every
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:34
			single one of them, they killed them.
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:39
			If you reason with a bully, if you
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:40
			try to negotiate with the bully, what is
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:42
			gonna end up happening? All you do is
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:44
			you make him more powerful. All you do
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:46
			is you encourage him more.
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:49
			Islam is not a violent religion. Islam is
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:51
			the religion which teaches us to be good
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:52
			to our neighbors even if they're not a
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:55
			Muslim. Islam is the religion that teaches us
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:56
			to
		
00:13:57 --> 00:13:58
			be good to one another,
		
00:13:58 --> 00:14:00
			even if a person isn't a sinner.
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:03
			Islam is the religion that
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:05
			says, Rasulullah
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:07
			salallahu alaihi wa sallam said, every single living
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:09
			thing, if you do something good for even
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:11
			an animal, even an insect, it will be
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:13
			counted as an act of charity with the
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:14
			Lord.
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:18
			If a bully tells you you're being violent
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:20
			for defending yourself and you're stupid enough to
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:22
			believe them, that's your fault. That's not anybody
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:24
			else's fault. Don't blame Allah for it. Don't
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:26
			blame the prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam for
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:28
			it. Don't blame Islam for it. Don't blame
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:30
			anybody. Don't even blame the bully for it
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:32
			because you should have known better. Don't blame
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:33
			anyone except for yourself.
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:35
			And when the bully makes you afraid, yeah,
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:37
			you should be afraid.
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:41
			Bullies are some tough dudes. They can mess
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:43
			you up. They can even kill you.
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:47
			But at the same time,
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:53
			Were the people who fought the prophet sallallahu
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:55
			alaihi wa sallam and his companions the idolaters
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:55
			of Makkamukarama
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:58
			who showed up with armies. 3 times, 10
		
00:14:58 --> 00:14:59
			times the size of the armies of the
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:00
			Muslim. Were they not bullies?
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:04
			They had no haqq on their side whatsoever.
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:07
			All they had was might make right and
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:08
			look we showed up with might.
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:11
			The Battle of Uhud, is it a great
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:14
			victory touted as a great victory militarily, strategically
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:16
			in the history of Islam? No, it's not.
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:19
			Although I think to characterize it as a
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:21
			defeat is also unnecessarily
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:24
			pessimistic, but it wasn't this great open victory.
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:26
			At maximum you can say it was a
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:27
			draw that they
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:31
			prohibited the army of the mushrikeen from sacking
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:32
			Madinah itself.
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:38
			Rasulullah salallahu alaihi wa sallam after the
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:44
			death in the shahadat of the
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:48
			Muslims and the companions radhiallahu anhu in Uhud.
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:53
			He told his companions radhiallahu ta'ala anhu
		
00:15:55 --> 00:15:56
			that the shuhada,
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:59
			those people whose lives were given, Sayyidina Hamza
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:02
			radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu, Sayyidina Mus'ab radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu,
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:03
			and many others.
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:06
			We just visited the shuhada of Uhud
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:09
			maybe 2 weeks ago.
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:12
			May Allah ta'ala be pleased with them and
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:13
			accept their sacrifice.
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:17
			He told his companions radhiyallahu ta'ala anhu.
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:21
			Abdullah the father of Jabir bin Abdullahi radhiyallahu
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:22
			ta'ala anhu.
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:25
			In a number of narrations, on a number
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:26
			of times he told them.
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:29
			The narration with regards to Jabir is narrated
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:31
			by Batibnu Mahlad,
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:33
			by Tirmihi,
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:34
			by ibn Majah.
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:38
			That he asked him, Why are you so
		
00:16:38 --> 00:16:39
			sad? He says, My father left.
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:42
			He died in Uhud. He was a shahid
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:43
			in Uhud,
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:46
			and then he left so much debt, and
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:48
			he left such a big family to take
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:48
			care of.
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:50
			He said, should I not tell you about
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:52
			the shuhada?
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:54
			Sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
		
00:16:55 --> 00:16:57
			He said that their souls are in green
		
00:16:57 --> 00:16:58
			birds
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:00
			that go wherever they wish to in Jannah,
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:03
			that drink from the waters of Jannah.
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:06
			That your father, Abdullah,
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:10
			was honored to speak to Allah ta'ala without
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:12
			a hijab between him, which is an honor
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:13
			no one else has been given before.
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:17
			And he was honored and asked, what would
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:17
			you like?
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:20
			And he says, tell.
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:22
			I wish somebody was there to tell those
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:24
			who came behind what
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:24
			great
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:26
			honor that
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:29
			Allah bestowed us with. I wish I could
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:31
			go back and die for your sake once
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:33
			more. Allah told him what?
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:35
			He says, This is something that I've decreed
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:37
			nobody once they died. Nobody goes back. He
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:40
			said, I wish that the people behind us
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:41
			could know what honor
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:44
			what honor was given to us.
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:46
			What blessing was given to us. So that
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:47
			they don't be afraid.
		
00:17:47 --> 00:17:49
			So that they don't be sad. So that
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:51
			they don't become tired,
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:53
			so that they don't become frazzled,
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:58
			so that they don't slacken, they don't become
		
00:17:58 --> 00:17:58
			lazy.
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:01
			From going out in the path of Allah
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:04
			from facing the enemy, from facing the bullies
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:05
			that do these things
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:07
			to the believers.
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:10
			What did Allah ta'ala say to him?
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:12
			He says,
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:12
			I.
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:15
			I will make your message reach. And this
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:17
			is the occasion of the revelation of the
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:18
			ayah.
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:27
			No, never. Never. Never think that those people
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:29
			who are killed in the path of Allah
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:30
			Ta'ala that they're dead.
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:36
			Nay, rather they're alive and they receive their
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:37
			provision
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:39
			with their Lord.
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:43
			This is your Islam. This is what your
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:44
			Islam tells you.
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:47
			The sad part is we forgot to remind
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:49
			one another of these things.
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:51
			Why? Because somebody is afraid someone will say
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:53
			I'm violent. Someone is afraid that this is
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:55
			going to not allow me to focus on
		
00:18:55 --> 00:18:57
			my studies. Someone said that this is not
		
00:18:57 --> 00:18:58
			going to allow us to focus on our
		
00:18:58 --> 00:19:00
			business, on our politics. It's gonna look bad
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:02
			on the evening news.
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:05
			Brothers and sisters, the people who focused on
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:07
			these things, their businesses were bigger than your
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:07
			business.
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:10
			Their politics were bigger than your politics.
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:14
			The houses they lived in were nicer than
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:15
			the house that you live in.
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:21
			It makes sense in the dunya, and it
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:22
			makes sense in the akhirah
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:25
			that a person should want and desire this
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:27
			thing, and that a person should never rule
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:29
			over and submit in front of a bully.
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:30
			Who's the only one you submit in front
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:32
			of? Allah ta'ala.
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:35
			May Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala give all of
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:38
			us tawfiq. WassaAllahu Tabarak wa ta'ala. WassaAllahu Alaihi
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:40
			Wassaabi Ajmain.
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:42
			You can take
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:44
			a couple of
