Brothers and sisters,
Allah
sent his Nabi
with
wahi.
What is wahi? Wahi is revelation.
What is the point of revelation?
The point of revelation is not to teach
you how to be on time. It is
not to give you a superior political system.
It is not to,
give you a superior economic system to make
you money, to win friends, to influence people.
All of these things are
doable without
the benefit of revelation.
Allah
very succinctly
communicates the point of revelation
in the first revelation
that he says to his Nabi
Read in the name of your lord
who created man from a clot of blood.
Read in your lord is the most noble,
the one who taught man by the pen,
the one who taught man that which he
knew not.
The point of is to teach you that
thing that not only you don't know,
but if you were to gather together
all of you,
every century of all human beings,
of the ins, the jinn, the smartest of
everybody, if they were to live forever, for
eternity,
and collaborate with one another, they would not
be able to understand that thing which Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala sent down
in his book and sent down on tongue
and on the noble aflak of his, Nabi
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
Part of the misunderstanding
that people have
because of which they are disbarred
and deprived from
benefiting
and deprived from the
the the the the the spiritual and the
material help of Allah ta'ala because of is
this lack of understanding regarding wahi. That no
matter who you are, no matter how much
experience you have with regards to life, no
matter how much intelligence you have,
this will not teach you anything about wahi.
Wahi is something you only get benefit from
through through
following
blindly what Allah and Hisr Rasool salallahu alaihi
wasallam taught us. And Allah and Hisrassoul, sallallahu
alaihi wasallam taught
us such a system
that
will not only garner for us
the help of Allah Ta'ala in this world,
but it will garner for us the more
important help and the more important victory which
is the help of Allah Ta'ala in the
victory on the day of judgment. While
indeed,
verily, nay, indeed, you
prefer the life of this world
and the hereafter.
Whereas the hereafter
is better, it's more intense than this world
is, and it lasts forever. And it lasts
forever.
It's better. It's superior to this world, and
it lasts forever.
The fact of the matter is, however, Allah
in his
in his system of legislation and commandment for
mankind and for his slaves,
he made a number of obligations,
incumbent on Muslims as individuals, and he made
a number of obligations incumbent upon the Muslims
as a community.
And some of those obligations are very difficult
to carry.
Some of those obligations are very difficult to
carry. They're not easy to carry. Do you
understand what I'm saying? We don't have a
system where we tell people walk through the
door, accept Islam as your way of life,
and we guarantee you, you're going to go
to Jannah. You can still have friends. You
can still,
do what you want to do. You don't
have to change yourself in in in the
slightest. Come as you are. We love you
for who who you are. This is not
part of our teaching. This is not part
of our teaching.
Our teaching demands that every certain every person
who says, la ilaha illallah, Allah ta'ala asked
the people in his book. So the people
think that they'll be left to say
that there's no god except for Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala and then they're not going to
be tested? Allah Ta'ala said, we tested everybody
who came before you.
We tested everybody who came before you so
that we can know who are the people
who told the truth and who are the
people who said something on their tongue and
hid something in their heart. So don't be
surprised now. Don't be surprised now when you
find yourself in a situation where you wanted
to what? You wanted to make money. You
wanted to have a a comfortable life. You
wanted to have everybody love you. You wanted
to have all of these things happen. I
also wanted all of these things to happen
for myself, but we find ourself in a
situation where that's no longer looking like it's
in the deal. It's no longer looking like
it's in the deal that we're going to
be left alone. Why?
The dunya was created for you. It's a
tool
for for for you. And you were created
for the akhira. The dunya is a tool.
What is a tool? Every tool has a
specific use. If you have to put a
nail into the wall
and you take a screwdriver, a
a flat head screwdriver, a small one and
start
you know, hammering the nail with the the
the screwdriver. What are you gonna do? You're
going to end up bending or breaking the
chisel. Why? Because it's the wrong tool for
the wrong job. The dunya is a tool
for you. It was a tool for the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, and it was
a tool for our forefathers as well.
And it was a tool for what? It
was a tool that was given to the
people of this Ummah in order for us
to what? To earn. To earn and to
find the excuse for Allah Ta'ala's readah that
Allah Ta'ala should be pleased with us.
You know you know why we say
after the names of the Ashab
radiAllahu ta'ala gave them this job that they
should earn his pleasure and they earned it
by the nasa of the
Quran. Allah Ta'ala, so many places he talks
about his rida that Allah Ta'ala was pleased
with them. Allah Ta'ala was pleased with them.
He says regarding the battle of Badr.
The Nabi salallahu alaihi wa sallam said regarding
the battle of Badr. So what do you
know about the people who were there on
the day of Badr? That Allah Ta'ala didn't
look inside of their hearts and say, after
this day, do whatever you want. Do whatever
you want. I've forgiven you. This is what?
This is the readdah of Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala.
This is not something that's Mansus that there's
a eye of the Quran. This is only
the Sahaba radiAllahu anhu did it. And afterward,
you guys, it's just a free for all.
As long as you pray 5 times a
day, and maybe you don't even wake up
for Fajr, you're you're still you're good. No.
This is not this is not this is
not this is not what what the plan
is. The plan is what? That they were
exemplars for the entire humanity to come and
tell the yomu 'tiyama.
And the rest of the humanity, if they
did what they did, they'll receive what they
received. And if they don't do what they
did, then how can they expect to receive
what they received?
It's It's a it's a to read the
surah of on the on Fridays. Right?
Right?
That if I the the person, he he's
he's being
chastised and exhorted that you should remember Allah
ta'ala. He says, why? Forget about all of
these things. I'm gonna enjoy my dunya. And
Allah ta'ala, even if he's there, he's, if
I go back to him, he'll he'll be
he'll be cool. I'll be cool with him.
He'll hook me up. I said, for free,
he'll hook you up?
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala's mercy is something that
should
garner our our humility.
It should garner our thanks,
our gratitude
to throw it in his face like that.
This is a this is a very strange
sin because it's
curiously offensive.
And it's also
a way a person can
ice skate by and find that one one
way that the greatest gift of Allah ta'ala
which is his mercy, it's his rahma, it's
his favel, find a way to circumvent that
against all odds and still end up being
a person who is of loss on the
day of judgment.
So don't look at all of these people
on TV. They're saying, oh, we're going to
register your your community is gonna have to
do special registration and we'll put you on
a list and we'll this and that. And,
you know, you know, it's you know, there's
no such thing as Islamophobia because Islam should
be feared and all this other nonsense.
This is just the beginning, brothers and sisters.
Wait until wait until we, get to, you
know, the end of January. Right? This is
just right now. This is just ramping up,
amping up. It's going to become worse than
this.
What should the response be? Oh my goodness.
I'm gonna check the immigration
website, see how I can get to Canada,
see how I can get to England. Maybe
I'll go back to the Bilal that had
a piece of land that I purchased a
long time ago, and I'll move back there
and this and that and the other thing.
No, brothers and sisters.
Where where are you where are you going
to? Where are you where are you where
are you gonna run away to? Where are
you flying away to?
A, there's gonna be problems wherever you go.
There's going to be problems wherever you go.
This is the qadr of Allah Ta'ala. The
problems you are going to get, you're gonna
get them. If you stay here, you're gonna
get them where you go somewhere else. Said
Nama radiAllahu ta'ala anhu, he was traveling towards
Sham. On the way he heard news regarding
plague, that plague had hit Sham.
And so he turned around and went back
to Madinah Munawara
Amirul Mumineen,
are you running away from the destiny Allah
has meted out for you?
He says, no. He says he says, yes.
I'm running from his destiny to his destiny.
I'm running from his destiny to his destiny.
That's all you're going to do. You'll never
escape it. It will hit you wherever you're
going to go, whatever you're going to do.
Running away is not going to be, the
problem.
This type of evil, and I'm going to
call it evil. Why? Because we have something.
They call it they call it now white
nationalism or the alt right. It's called white
nationalism. The Khutba is not a a place
to discuss political matters, and this is not
a political matter. And generally, I wouldn't discuss
things like this except for it's something that
is a very immediate concern of our community,
which is what? What is white nationalism? The
idea that somehow the system has to be
gained in favor of people of a certain
ethnicity.
I have no problem with people white, black,
whatever color. Why? Because to judge people based
on their color and to judge people based
on where they're from
is what? It's one of the sifaat one
of the essential sifaat of jahiliyah.
This is one of the essential sifaat of
jahiliyah. Allah himself negates it in his book.
Right?
Allah Ta'ala says very verily, and he says
very decisively, very clearly, the best of you
in front of Allah Ta'ala is what? The
one who has the most taqwa. This is
an idea we consider to be immoral. We
consider it to be immoral. We consider this
to be evil. This is a sifa Iblis
to judge people based on their material,
features and qualities. Allah ta'ala says in Asahi
Hadid. Nabi Salam says in Asahi Hadid that
Allah ta'ala doesn't look at your your your
your,
shape, your color, your body, your wealth.
Allah ta'ala doesn't look at those things. What
does he look at? He looks at your
heart. And the person who has a good
heart, Allata has mercy on that person. This
is our aftida. This is what we believe.
It is completely at odds. It is completely
at odds with this current sentiment, which I
wouldn't say is prevailing,
but I would say it's picked up a
lot of steam in this country in the
last 6 months to some people seemingly out
of the middle of nowhere, although many people
saw it coming for some time.
As a Muslim,
as a person of Islam, this is our
aqidah that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala doesn't make
a fir'awn anywhere except for he also made
a Musa.
Allah ta'ala didn't make a Abu Jahal except
for he also raised the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam in his face.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala didn't create any sort
of mussibah or any sort of evil or
any sort of iniquity except for he has
somebody from his pious slaves to deal with
that person.
Allah himself will deal with that person.
In this world, through means and on the
hereafter, these people will be what? These people
will be the fuel of the hellfire.
These people will be the fuel of the
hellfire. This is something we should be very
very firm about and we should be very,
sure of inside of our hearts as well.
Nabi sallallahu alaihi wa sallam on the battle
of Uhud. Right? In the battle of Uhud,
what did he say sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
when the sahaba retreated up the mountain?
And Abu Jahl shouts out, he says to
the prophet sallallahu alaihi, he's not Abu Jahl
Abu Sufyan shouts out to the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam that our dead in exchange
for your dead. Right? The day of Uhud
in exchange for the day of Badr. The
prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam had too much
ghayra to let that go. What does ghayra
mean? Right? Ghayhi very very aptly one of
our ulama who was reading a hadith and,
you know, the small dars that usually many
Masajid have after Maghrib or Isha.
The word Reira is mentioned in a Hadith.
He says, how can I translate it in
English? There's no word for it in English,
maybe because very few people here have it.
What is hreira? Hreira is the feeling that
a person has inside of their heart
when someone or something that is dear to
them
is attacked, whether verbally or physically.
Is
the difference if I told you a woman
is getting robbed outside,
you would feel angry, you would feel upset,
maybe you would go and intervene.
If I told the person your mother is
being robbed outside, there will naturally be a
difference in the feeling that you have, the
level of feeling you have. That is what?
That's ghayra.
Nabi sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said regarding ghayra.
He said to say to Saab al Mu'ad
when he showed a display of hayrah, he
says, You Saab, Allah is pleased with your
hayrah.
And know that the messenger of Allah has
more hayrah than you, and that Allah has
more ghayra than his messenger sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam. The
prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam had too much
ghayra for Islam
to let some something silly like this pass
that Abu Sufyan should vaunt in front of
the messenger of Allah, in front of the
deen al Haqq and say that we're even
that we're even, that our dead for your
dead, and the day of Uhud for the
day of Badr. He's he gestured to say,
no answer him. Answer him. What did he
say? He said, our dead are in Jannah,
your dead are in the hellfire.
He said, our dead are in Jannah, your
dead are in the hellfire. Khalas. Done. Done.
This is our aqidah that what? Allah Ta'ala
doesn't let any Baatil stay in the face
of the haqq. The haqq is what? It's
one of the sifats of Allah Ta'ala.
Who is the Haqq literally is Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala. Allah Ta'ala is the Haqq. And
the person who makes their
connection with the Haqq. The person who makes
friends with the haqq, the one who wakes
up in the morning hearing the haqq and
speaking the haqq, and they go to sleep
at night hearing the haqq and speaking the
haqq, know that that person has a very
powerful friend in his corner regardless of how
disenfranchised they may seem to be.
This country itself knows what the power of
the haqq is.
Despite not having a tariq in Islam that
they wish to admit to.
People in this country were enslaved. People in
this country were enslaved. The type of slavery
that was practiced in this country was something
Islam never condoned or sanctioned. The idea that
a human being can be owned by another
human being completely as property only based on
the person's race or on the person's, lineage
or ancestry,
this is something Islam never taught and never
condoned.
And it was so shameful even to the
point where if the master would have a
child with the slave woman, the child the
master's own child, he would leave the child
in in slavery.
The master would leave his own child in
slavery. This is how merciless this institution was.
This institution was ripped it ripped this literally
ripped this country apart. It literally ripped its
country apart at a time.
This country, literally, the people took arms up
against one another because of the immorality of
this institution.
There was never any point in the history
of this of this country where the slaves
were powerful enough to affect a rebellion or
force anyone to do anything.
Why did it happen? Because the Haqq has
a certain attraction. It doesn't let people sleep
at night until it is served. The Haqq
has a certain attraction. It doesn't let people
have any comfort until its rights are fulfilled.
And some people may say, you know what?
I don't care about it, but there's always
some hearts that will be there in the
creation of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala which will
never which will never sleep, which will never
be okay without the Haqq. And Allah Ta'ala
gives his madad to the Haqq. Allah Ta'ala
gives his his his help to the Haqq.
This is not something that this country had
to learn by becoming Muslim. This is a
lesson this country learned on its own.
It's enshrined in a constitutional
amendment. This very state of Ohio sent so
many of its sons to go and die
1,000 miles away from here just for that
reason. Just for that reason. Why? Because the
haqq doesn't leave people alone. The civil rights
amendment in this country.
There was a time in the living memory
of some people who are even sitting here
where a black man couldn't sit at the
same lunch counter as a white man, where
he couldn't
drink from the same drinking fountain as a
white man in certain parts of this country.
What happened? Were black people ever politically enfranchised
enough in order to repeal that law? Never.
Never.
They would go to protests. They would release
the dogs on them. They would open fire
hoses on them. They would lynch them. They
would beat them. All sorts of intimidation. All
sorts of intimidation.
What is it that overcame this batul, that
overcame this falsehood? It's what? It's the
haqq. Brothers and sisters, the haqq is something
it's something that we as Muslims, if we
are truly people of Islam, we are people
not only that we cast our lot in
with it. We're not only people that cast
our lot in with it. One thing is
to say, you know what? This is something
I just gotta do what I gotta do.
This is the basic level of humanity.
This is if you cannot do this much,
you're like an animal. You're not even a
human being. If you cannot see something that's
right, an issue of right and wrong and
say, you know what? I have to be
on the right side of this. Something is
something is very wrong with you.
Brothers and sisters, if you look at the
Seerah of the Sahaba Radhi Allah Ta'ala Anhum,
they are not only people who said, okay,
we gotta do it, we gotta do it,
it's far okay, we'll stand with the Haqq.
They are people, they are majzub. They were
like the gravity of it attracted them in
all ways, not just physically.
It captivated their imagination.
It captivated their spirit. They were people who
used to give their life for the sake
of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and they would
boast in the in the face of their
enemies that we love death more than your
people love life.
Is it what? Because they're suicidal?
They needed to see a a a a
shrink? They needed to see a, a psychologist
because they're unhealthy.
Brother and sister, we have weird cult suicidal
type people in in, you know, in the
Muslim lands right now, and they're doing exactly
that. They're just destroying themselves, they're destroying other
people. The Sahaba, radiAllahu anhu, weren't people who
destroyed civilization, they're people who made it. They're
people who created it. They're people who built
things. They're not people who destroyed things.
Their attraction that they had to the Haqq
was out of their attraction to Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala. That it wasn't just something that
they considered a burden. It was something they
considered an honor. Which one of you
harbors inside of your heart? The dream,
the vision, the pride, the longing. That they
will ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala in this
Mubarak hour of Jumu'ah that, you Allah,
the people of Ba'athil have come with their
big Ba'athil and they think, oh, electoral college
and White House and I'm the chief of
this and the strategist of that and I'm
the secretary of this, that, and the other
thing. And with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, those
people have less value than a a fly
flying on dung.
This is not something a rhetorical flourish I'm
saying. This is the nass of the hadith
of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. That
these people are are are have less worth
with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala than a dung
beetle. The one who is gonna stand and
make the dawah of batin.
The one who's gonna stand and make the
dawah of Iblis.
These people
who harbors inside of their heart
the the the desire not to run away,
but to say, yeah, Allah, if I ever
have the chance, you give me the chance
that I can stand up at a place
or a time, show my face, say the
word of the Haqq, show my face on
the side of the Haqq, Stand in front
of the people of Batil and say a
word of truth so that you can be
pleased with me.
People talk about jihad. Oh my goodness. He's
talking about jihad.
You wanna talk about Jihad, visabilellah?
Afdulul jihadi, kalimatuhhatin in the Sultan in Ja
Jair.
The first mention of Jihad in the book
of Allah Ta'ala.
Jihad and kabira.
Right? The the the the the jihad struggle
with them. A great struggle. This is a
ayah that was revealed in Makkamukarama.
It wasn't revealed in Madinah Munawara.
What the Bamir of Behi returns to what?
To the Quran. Use the Quran and struggle
against these people of Ba'til. Struggle against these
people of
Ba'til, of falsehood.
Using the Quran as your proof against them.
When they say something stupid, stand up in
front of everybody and say no.
Say no. We don't consider Mexicans to be
all rapists and and and murderers.
We don't consider,
immigrants to be a burden on this on
this,
society.
In fact, your own your own, mother's family
is immigrants. Your own father's family is immigrants.
There's one commentator, she said that, oh, if
only the people whose 4 grandparents were born
in America voted, then Trump or whoever, it
doesn't matter which candidate, So so and so
candidate would have won handily.
You know, this this,
standard of 44 grandparents being born in a
place, meaning that you're actually from that place.
This is a standard that was raised by
the Nazis.
Which one of you has the pride inside
of their heart? This kind of disease. We
saw it in the Nazis. We saw it
in the clan. We saw it in all
of these all of these, sicknesses
in the slavery of the American South. Which
one of you sees the ball is now
in my court? Now I also have a
chance to say the word of truth and
to stand with the people who are oppressed
and to say the word of truth in
front of a tyrant just like Sayidina Musa
said in front of Fir'aun, just like Rasul
salallahu alaihi wa sallam said in front of
Abu Jahal, Just like the Sahaba radiAllahu anhu
said in front of the courts of the
emperors of Persia and the emperors of of
Rome.
Just like the ulema and the salihin of
every single generation. Sidi Umar Muhtar said in
the face of the Italians.
Just like our olema from the Indian subcontinent,
the olema of Deobandi said in the face
of what? In the face of the British
colonialists.
Which one of you desires inside of your
heart that, You Allah, you honor me also
that I show my face at the right
day at the right time and say a
word You're pleased with because of which You
accept me and You also write that I'm
forgiven,
that You also forgive my sins, that You
also enter me into Your rahmah, You also
enter me into your
Right? The one who stood stood with the
with the ambiya that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
said he he narrates that this person when
he meets Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, he'll say,
I
wish that my people knew how much my
Lord on this day has honored me
and has
forgiven me, has forgiven me all of my
sins. This is something, this is a jazbit,
this is a attraction that every believer should
have. This is a dream every believer should
have. Nobody should ever plan that they should
be put in harm's way or put in
difficulty. The sunnah is what? The prophet sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam, if he had a choice
between two things, he would always choose the
easier of the 2.
However,
we know as a study of our aati
that will teach us that Allah, subhanahu wa
ta'ala, sometimes he will choose for you the
more difficult of 2 paths.
Right? The Sahaba, they went out for the
battle of Badr. They went after the caravan.
Did they get the caravan? Caravan, very few
very few guards, a lot of money.
The caravan got away and an army came
in his place, very little money, and a
lot of a very harsh fight. And Allah
Ta'ala says in his own book. Right? He
said what? That you wanted you wanted some
part of the dunya? Allah Ta'ala wanted to
make the Haqq manifest. Allah Ta'ala wanted to
make the Haqq manifest. Sometimes you will want
something, Allah Ta'ala wants something else. Okay, Allah.
You chose this path for me. Now you
give me the strength to get through it.
You give me the courage to get through
it, and you honor me with being able
to stand for the Haqq, and you stand
for your pleasure that you should be pleased
with me. And write me also amongst the
people that you love and amongst the people
that you've written your ri'ba for and amongst
the people you've forgiven. Allah give all of
us so much tawfir
and make firm our hearts and make them
resistant to fear and to the desire to
run away when Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, this
is exactly what he created us for.
