Alhamdulillah.
All praises to Allah.
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 we were guided by
Allah?
Oh, Allah to you is praise us 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,
you are the only one who knows the
true extent,
the true extent of your praise worthiness.
And may the peace and blessings of Allah
ta'ala be upon his servant and messenger,
our master, Sayna Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
May the peace and blessings of Allah to
Allah be upon him
and upon his
noble progeny,
upon his
noble companions,
upon his pure family,
and upon all of those who follow all
of their way until
until the day of judgment. Alhamdulillah,
Allah
revealed
this
We revealed it as an Arabic Quran so
that you can be people of reason.
The
Quran is preserved.
Declares that it is we who sent down
this remembrance,
and it is we who take it upon
ourselves
to guard it, to preserve it.
This doesn't just mean the words of the
Quran.
This means the letters of the Quran. This
means the orthography of the Quran. This means
the meanings of the Arabic language.
The words of which are intact,
and
the meanings of the words of which not
are not only are
documented
thoroughly in lexicography,
but
even
those meanings that are given
in lexicons that span dozens of volumes.
With those meanings are also a
chain of narration to attribute
those meanings to their sources,
and with them are proofs as well from
the classical speech of the Arabic of the
Arabs that precedes, that comes from before the
age of Islam.
Allah left this on
a
path
which is so bright.
It's night and it's day are equal in
terms of the
ability of a person to see clearly what
this path is, no matter who they are,
where they are, where they come from, where
they're going, or whatever their circumstances
might be.
Brothers and sisters,
there is a saying attributed to
sultan Al Ullama Izibbuu Abdis Salam.
One of the great masha'if
of the past.
He was known as Sultanul Ullama because he
spoke the Haqq and he was kicked out
of his city. He was originally a Halabi.
And he was welcomed by
the Mamalik
rulers of Egypt.
And he accepted their offer to live amongst
them on a number of conditions all of
which had to do with
his independence and his autonomy
and the ability to speak the truth.
He said that
amongst the people
who are tried in their tribulation and their
trial is
in Riba.
If the imam gets up and speaks about
the prohibition of Zina, that imam is a
traitor. That imam has done treachery with the
trust given to him by Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala.
Not because Zina is halal or it's a
good thing, but what? There's a trust Allah
ta'ala gives to the people of knowledge
that they must deliver a particular message which
is not only correct but it's also relevant
to the people
in the time that they live in so
that people can use this guidance in order
to see the path clearly in front of
them.
There's no shying away from
that. There's no awkwardness in that. If you
should see that you should count your blessings
at the barakah of the Ummah Sayyidina Muhammad
Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam is still there with us.
It's still there amongst us.
After several weeks about talking about the holy
places, the sacred places and the rights of
Hajj.
Now we pull ourselves back
necessarily to the place and the time that
we live.
In order to discuss something that's very different
than all of that
Which is what?
If you pay attention to the news, if
you work especially in a corporation or you
go to school, it does not escape your,
notice
that what used to be pride day what
used to be pride day has now turned
into pride month.
What is the pride for? The pride is
for a sin. The pride is for an
abomination.
The pride is for something that is unnatural.
The pride is for something that is a
rebellion against the Lord.
It's not just one thing.
It's a number of different things.
The pride that's being celebrated
is not merely that
somebody has a a natural attraction. Look,
the ummah is something that spans the entire
world
and it's been there since the time of
late antiquity.
And from before that, there have been ummah
that came before on guidance and on huda.
He's been around for a very long time.
The deviated
lust and desire that certain people have, this
is not something new. It's not something that
started in 1970 whatever when people came to
America.
This is not something new. This is something
that's known. It's been there in the Muslim
world. It's been in there there in the
Muslim countries
and it's a
illness that exists amongst human beings.
Statistically speaking, there may be somebody sitting in
the masjid right now who Allah has tested
with that illness. The point of mentioning this
is not for me to hack you down.
You did the right thing. You came to
the masjid.
You came to the house of Allah ta'ala.
As long as you try your best and
Allah test people in different ways. And some
people the
best they can do is to fail the
test as minimally as possible.
My point is not to hack those people
down who are trying their best.
My point is what? My
point is that those people who at least
know what's wrong is wrong, what's a sin
is a sin.
They know it's haram in the sharia of
the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. They have
a. If without an without an intellect, a
person is not going to be able to
benefit from the Quran even if they say
that I believe in all of it. They'll
benefit minimally but the proper benefit is not
gonna be there for them.
That by use your
This is a this is a last, a
desire, a lot that I'll put inside of
every living thing.
There's a reason for it. It's not something
that's
superfluous or unnecessary.
We don't believe like the Christians and the
Jews believe. We don't believe like certain eastern
philosophies believe that this desire the sexual desire
that Allah put in a person is like
something horrible and wrong, and it's a sin
in every manifestation,
and the ideal of a person is to
like get rid of it completely.
If that were the case the anbiya alaihus
salam would not have married. If that were
the case,
there would not be this thing in Jannah
as well. If that were the case, there
would not be barakah in marriage and goodness
in marriage.
For a person to say that this is
something that we're going to celebrate and acknowledge
sign
We can accept this and understand this
without being hateful, without being,
you know, inciting people to violence,
without calling people names, without being bigoted,
without being unsympathetic to the plight of other
people.
All of these things are possible because a
human being is more than just what their
sexual desire is.
A human being is much more than what
their sexual desire is.
A human being is much more than the
things that they like to eat. A human
being is much more than the types of
entertainment they like or shiny things that they
try to gather.
Now if you put shiny things in front
of a monkey, even a monkey is going
to enjoy it.
That's not what makes us human. What makes
us human is
a set of things that are
transcendent above all of this.
But now we find ourselves
we are a second class
culturally and legally group of people in this
country.
We find ourselves going to institutions.
We're the flag of pride for this. It's
not just same * attraction.
Now it's extended to a number of other
things.
Extended to a type of gender ideology
in which the fitra that Allah Ta'ala created
a person on
is actively
flouted.
That we no longer
accept any sort of objective reality
when it comes to a person's gender, that
we went from having 2 genders and a
set of biological
illnesses that people have.
Not something to make fun of people for,
not something to mock people for, people need
help. There's accommodations that should be made for
such people who are naturally suffering from this
issue. Whether the locusts of it be genetic,
there are people who are genetically male and
they present us female. This is an issue
whether it be physiological
that people
suffer from imbalances in hormones that can be
treated.
Whether it be anatomical.
These things can be treated through
plastic surgery. Whether it be psychological, these things
can be treated and have been treated
Like
clinical
practitioners who actually
understand and acknowledge
the reality in front of them instead of
actively trying to flout it.
We don't wish ill to people who suffer
from these dysfunctions or say because of this
dysfunction you're less of a human being.
Now what is it? Now this is a
complete ideology
that is that what we will actively flout
what we see in front of our eyes.
In that sense, it doesn't require a religious
person in order to understand that this is
all nonsense. It's all gone way too far.
On top of that, many people in this
gathering
you know what? You may actually be people
who self segregate yourselves out of those
institutions.
Whether they be in the government, whether they
be in schools, whether they be in places
of work,
where the rainbow flag is waived and you
opt out of those types of things or
you minimally
just for to be political minimally acknowledge whatever
it is with crafty words in order to
not
indite yourself on the day of judgment and
squeak through which is fine. Sometimes you have
to do it in order to make a
living.
As long as you don't do something haram
and say something haram, to be diplomatic with
people around you is a necessity that people
have sometimes.
However,
look look at our children.
Those children who are not here in Jum'ah
right now.
Those sons of ours who are from the
age that they're 12 and 13, 14,
and Jum'ah is on them
from those ages. They're in the school right
now and they're not able to opt out.
Their children,
they're not savvy. They don't know the games
that adults play and the tricks that adults
play with them.
And so now you have this thing which
is supplanted religion. It's become the religion of
a people.
Christianity is not the religion of this country
neither in the law nor culturally speaking.
If a person were to stand up and
mock the bible,
even church growing Christians will laugh with them
and give them high five.
If they were to mock the Anbiya alaymus
salatu alsalam or Allah Ta'ala himself,
even the church going people will laugh about
it. Even their their priests do it themselves
in the church on Sunday.
They've lost the plot.
And even those people who are sincere believers
amongst them in their religion,
They have no backing whatsoever. They're probably strangers
in society
nearly as much as we are, if not
more in certain cases.
What's the actual religion? Get up and stand
up and say the things I'm saying right
now. You say, oh, so brave. You're in
you're in the Masjid right now.
So brave of you to say. Many people
who are in my position, they're also scared.
They don't say it.
But still, that's their own fear that lives
inside of them, rent free. Really, very few
things are probably gonna happen to me right
now on this day for saying this.
If they do, whatever happens happens. I'm I'm
not the one who cared in the first
place, but probably nothing will happen. If you
stood up and said a tenth of what
I'm saying right now in your places of
work and in your school, you'll be in
real trouble. You have real problems.
Why? Because this is the religion of this
kom.
Those are the blasphemy laws that if you
cross them,
you will lose your job, you will lose
your livelihood, you will be canceled, you will
be shunned, You'll have your back the back
turned on you. In certain cases, people will
go to prison. They will go to jail.
The proselytization
of this religion has gotten to the point
where elementary school children
you should know this.
If you have kids yourself or if you
plan on having kids one day or if
you have nieces and nephews or if you
think about the children of the Ummah, Sayna
Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam or the children of
our father Sayna Adam alaihi salam. Whatever their
religion may be.
If you think of them as your own,
as a Muslim should.
The children are what?
They're reading picture books in the library. They
first put the books into the library, said,
oh, you know, it's just for whoever wants
to read about it. They have graphic descriptions
of graphic descriptions
in the illustration of * and
pictures of it.
At some point, they said this is just
for the kids who wanna read up about
it. Now, they're obligate. They're obliged to attend
these
assemblies.
Now they have drag queen story hour where
literally a grown man will come dressed as
a woman
and mix with the children and read them
these stories
and it becomes fun. They're happy. There's colors.
They're giving them candy. They're giving them,
you they're giving them treats.
They're showing them all sorts of
love that this is a fun thing. This
is a great thing. This is something you
want to participate in.
Right? When I was growing up, what was
it? What was the concern? The concern is
that the children go and celebrate Christmas.
This is something that's gone way beyond that.
How way beyond it is it? I'll tell
you something. Everybody knows it's way it's way
beyond any sort of rational line. Everyone knows
it.
You don't have to be molasad with the
turban on Friday
in order to know this. You don't even
have to be a Muslim.
Right? You don't even have to be straight
in order to know it.
I'm surprised Flabbergasted.
It's very interesting actually.
It is the Muslims who are not accepting
these things in different places. Although there are
Muslims who have capitulated
but I'm giving this message in order to
fill you with some sort of courage, in
order to remind you of some sort of
courage and remind myself
that you know it's wrong.
And even though it shouldn't matter but the
local law is actually on your side.
The majority of people are on your side
all of them are scared of blaspheming this
religion
because they're scared of the consequences.
Right? You are the Ummah of Sayyidina Muhammad
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, the milah of Sayyidina
Ibrahim alaihi salam.
The one who has a child was the
first one to throw a stone at the
the first one to to to to take
the ax and break the idols of his
people.
They knew it was wrong. He knew it
was wrong. They all knew it was wrong.
They tried to kill him for it. They
weren't able to.
Everybody in this society knows it's wrong.
You see,
in Canada, you see in America, Muslims are
protesting in Maryland, the school board. In Detroit,
the school board is the Muslims who protested.
And
whatever happened, whatever was going to happen, they
said do whatever you want. You're not going
to turn our children into this. You're not
going to indoctrinate our children into
this. It will destroy our nestle in this
world. You shouldn't have to be a PhD
in biology in order to understand that when
this ideology
prevails over the world.
That there's no future for humanity, no future
for mankind. It's not difficult to understand why.
If you don't understand, think about it. Talk
talk about it with your neighbor after Joanne
is over. It's not difficult to understand why.
Muslims are the ones standing from the parents
who get together and support their children to
the children themselves who are the ones who
say we don't we don't want this, we
don't need this.
And Alhamdulillah,
Alhamdulillah,
ilaha masha'Allah.
The Muslims are not getting up and saying
bad names to people. They're not saying, you
know, calling, They're not saying,
you know,
calling foul names to people or using rude
language to people. They're just saying what? This
is not we're not we didn't sign up
for this. We don't tolerate it. We don't
agree with it. This is not for us.
And they will not take no for an
answer.
What is the reaction of our people,
our qaum?
The ummah
is our ummah. Is the place the people
that we live among, the people whose food
we eat and the people whose language we
speak.
And when Jummah is over, the people whose
clothes we wear.
They're the ones saying, look, these Muslims.
Finally, the the someone is gonna put an
end to this nonsense.
How many people how many people have I
seen just in this last week? What are
they saying? I'm a Christian. I go to
church, but but
it's the Muslims who are gonna take care
of this. We've completely tapped out. It's the
Muslims who are gonna preserve Western civilization.
Yesterday, they were saying it's clash of civilizations.
Now what?
Europe is done. The Muslims are the ones
who are gonna save it. So many times
I've heard it from people who are not
charitable or sympathetic to Islam whatsoever.
How many times in the last week have
I seen on social media
people say that they themselves are gay but
this is not cool.
This is completely crazy. Even the people who
are gay themselves, there's a significant number of
them are saying you cannot just have a
drag drag queen walk into a school and
they this is just child abuse.
You have people who are saying these things.
The reason I'm bringing this up right now,
it's not for demagoguery because usually when people
talk about this, this is a really easy
win. It's something it's such a anti fitra,
anti human type activity. People have a sort
of a gag reflex about it and it's
very easy to rile up the crowd. Right
now, what I'm trying to say is what?
You all knew that Sodom is haram from
before you came to this
gathering.
You knew that for a man to dress
up as a woman and for a woman
to dress up as a man is haram.
If you didn't know, now you know it's
not something that's a difference of opinion like
saying, I mean out loud in the salat
or quiet. Those things are differences of opinion.
This is something there's no doubt about it.
There's no shock about it. Not amongst the
Muslims, not amongst really any people who have
any connection with revelation.
The point of mentioning all of this right
now is what? This is a moment this
is a moment unlike other moments. Just like
you pray
Maghrib.
Not at noontime. You can only pray it
when the sun sets.
This is a moment in the life of
this
country
where this thing is about to eat and
swallow all of us alive.
It's right now a religion de facto, Practically
speaking, it will legally become a religion unless
people push back, and all of these people
are cowards to say anything. Ilham insha'Allah. As
individuals they may say it,
but as institutions the Christians have failed to
deal with this. Every church you drive by,
every second church or 2 out of 3
churches you'll see them flying the pride flag.
Right? Nobody here Did you ever hear me
say let's like go and find people of
this
type of, a lifestyle and beat them up
and call them names or any of No.
What does a place where people are supposed
to connect with Allah to Allah have to
do with flying a pride flag?
They've checked out. They're done.
We know it. We knew it from before.
They also know it. It's become clear. The
is clear.
This is a time for their sake and
for our own sake we should say it.
When you say it, they will acknowledge also
that this deen has something to offer.
Because we read the Quran in Arabic, we
know what every harp is supposed to sound
like, every letter, and we know what every
word means, and we know what the opinions
of asla for all of the centuries until
now have been. There's no doubt about it.
With them, the bible itself is
in Greek, a language Sinner alaihi wasalam never
spoke. They don't know how to pronounce the
letters of the Greek language nor do they
know what the meanings are. It's all speculation
from centuries afterward.
They don't have the capacity to deal with
this intellectually or philosophically.
You and me and the ummah of the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam are a lifeline.
This is something that we can give back
to the Qom.
If you have some courage right now, don't
be rude.
Don't call names. Don't be unnecessarily antagonistic.
Use akhlaq that the prophet salallahu alaihi wasallam
would have used.
But get together, identify people who will agree
with you and say look we're not gonna
deal with this.
My eye trust trust me you'll get another
job.
Nobody in this country starves to death. The
thing you should be afraid of is eating
too much. No one in this country starves
to death.
You'll get into another school. You'll get some
career. You'll have something. Allahu Ta'ala will give
you something better, but this is something that
we need to do, and we need to
stand up, and we need to say, and
the hour is now. Once this hour is
gone and this thing becomes legislated,
that this becomes a hate crime in order
for a person to even deny this ideology.
It should be a hate crime to physically
beat someone up without legal, authority.
It should be something to society doesn't encourage
that people yell and scream and get into
fights and call names to one another.
But the idea that I cannot raise my
own children and you cannot raise your own
children except for this nonsense is pushed and
crammed down our children's throats.
That those liberals
were neither conservative nor liberal. I have no,
lot to cast with either one of them.
They say that the conservatives
hate Muslims and the Liberals hate Islam. That
those same Liberals that everybody was voting for,
like, religiously all of these years. If you
voted for them, I'm not saying you're wrong
or right. Politics is politics. We never know
what's gonna happen until it happens. So I'm
not gonna blame anyone. I'm saying we voted
for them in general for all of these
years. Now they're the ones saying go back
where you came from.
Go back to the stone age. You people
are backwards. This and that. All of the
things that we cast our lot in with
them in order to avoid
what? To avoid hearing that from the conservatives.
They were neither part of one extreme nor
part of the other. We're We're the milah
of Sayidna Ibrahim alayhi salaam. We're the Ummah
Sayidna Muhammad sallallahu alayhi salaam. This is something.
There's no benefit in it for anybody. And
if there was some political benefit in being
quiet anytime,
that that time is not now. Now is
the time to say something, to stand up,
because there are people who will hold hands
with you. There are people who will stand
with you. There are people who will benefit.
And part of your salvation on the day
of judgment is what? Ikhamatul Hijjah.
Whether people accept Islam from you or don't.
If you deliver the message, then the ball's
in their court. You get off scot free.
You said what you needed to say and
you prove to everybody. You don't have to
prove every single issue effect to people in
order to prove Islam to them. You just
have to prove. Give one decisive proof that
this is the Haqq and nobody else has
it in their hands. This is your time.
Speak up. Say it
in a dignified way and let everybody observe.
Then afterward what happens happens, it's in the
hands of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. And we
have great hope in Allah ta'ala that he's
not going to put our efforts and our
good words and our sincere intentions
to waste and he's not going to have
them pass in vain. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
give our gift tawfiq. Allah ta'ala save us
and save our children from this ideology.
If somebody is struggling with this sin or
with any other sin or with any other
desire which is contrary to the shara of
Allah and his Rasool Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
We hope that and we pray that Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala forgive them and give them
a way out and a makraj from their
from their problems and from their issues and
that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala pull them to
the path of righteousness and that Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala write them from amongst the believers
because they worshiped Allah and not worship their
desires as people are calling us to do.
