			Allahu akbar wa salam, ala Dina stafa Susana, Rosario hartville ambia. On a scale Have you heard
about
		

			yesterday we discuss that from the beauties of the month of Ramadan is that Allah subhanho wa Taala
has ordered us all to fast in this month.
		

			And the order wasn't as simple as fast 30 days were ordered fast in January, February, March, April
because if we would all fast in different months, one of the most beautiful things of the month of
Ramadan would go missing. One of the most beautiful aspects of fasting 30 days in this month, had we
all been ordered to fast different ones just past 30 days in the year whichever ones you choose, but
just make sure you fast 30 days had Allah subhana wa tada ordered is that one of the most beautiful
things we would miss which is the unity that the month of Ramadan brings, how the Muslims gathered
together and how we pray together and how we started together and how we make dua together and how
		

			we cry together, how are we really put on together, that unity, which is so beautiful would go
missing.
		

			So one of the most beautiful things that we can learn from the month of Ramadan is the importance of
unity within the home of the prophets. That alone is
		

			the province that allamani was sent and referred to this nation, the entire oma like that of a body.
And he said that if the eye pains, the entire body pains, and if the head pains, the entire body,
the entire body pains. That's just the nature of the oma that if one part is hurting, the other part
automatically will also feel the pain directly or indirectly. But it won't be easy for the rest of
the body to function. If the head has a headache there if there's an ache in the head, the rest of
the body will also suffer from the headache. Now, we as a nation need to understand the importance
of unity within the oma. When we look at the time of the Sahaba we find that the Sahaba were a
		

			United Nation. There were times where the Sahaba differ, but their differences never caused this
unity. You guys understand that? Having differences amongst us does not mean we are disunited. At
times we may be united even though we differ, you may pass a law according to one tradition of the
pockets that allow someone else may pass a law according to another tradition to the province that
allowed them but the fact that both people can pray according to do different traditions, which are
both authentic, it still be brothers in Islam, it still be united is one of the most beautiful
things about Islam. That's one of the most beautiful things. I remember, I think I mentioned this to
		

			you guys before, but I'll mention it again. I meant to meet Dr. Akram nadwi, who was a great scholar
in an Oxford and when I went to meet him, I said to him, Chef, give me advice. And the chef said
that I'll give you some advice. He said never disunite your community. Then he said something very
beautiful. He said the companions of the Prophet said a lot while he was sort of different on where
their hands should be tied, sometimes underneath the navel, some on top, some a little above that
some headed here, some headed there, they had a difference of opinion on where the hand should be
taught from the Sahaba style. But the Sahaba knew whether you differed on where the hand should be
		

			tied or not. There was one thing that united on that once you tied your hands there, wherever it was
going to be. You were supposed to cry in front of Allah subhana wa Tada. Today, we as a nation have
forgot to cry in front of Allah. But we still keep talking, and still keep arguing about where our
hands should be tied. And that's become the source of disunity now in the world, because one follows
one fifth and another person follows another fifth, I can't talk with you, I can sit with you. How
about we have a debate together against each other? Or how about we read books against each other?
That'll be that'll be utilizing our time in a better way. When we live at a time where the entire
		

			world seems as if right alausa which is mentioned in the Quran, that the time will come You know,
what I mentioned is that you know that the people will gather against you, and where the world may
be gathering against the Muslims, the Muslims need to ask themselves, is this the right time for us
to actually dis unite and break up? Or should we actually unite together? Should we stand underneath
the banner of La ilaha illAllah Muhammad Rasul Allah, this is a very important thing that we have to
understand. One father, he was passing away and he wanted to teach his sons the lesson of unity. So
he said to his sons, that I want you guys to gather a bunch of small tweaks. So they got 2030
		

			tweaks, he's a tie them together, they tie them together. He said to his son, now break the bundle.
It's and try to break the bundle, but he couldn't because there were 20 of them. He then said to his
son, now open up this tire on it. He opens up the rope around it and now he has 2030 small little
tweaks in front of him. He says break them. And one by one, he snaps them now in a few seconds. His
father said to his son, this is the power of unity, that when you're together, nothing can break.
		

			Break. But when your individual and when you're broken into pieces, then the reality is that nothing
that nothing can stop you from being broken. You know, the companions of the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam were united. Sometimes the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would become upset
with them. But that would not be a reason for them, going against the profit or loss values, and we
all know the carbon molecule, carbon molecule Elon won, the Battle of the book was taking place. He
was supposed to join the province of the law to sit him every day he said, the battle the Muslims
already left, and he was supposed to catch up. He thought I have a nice horse. I'll catch up
		

			tomorrow. Let me just leave in one day. The next day came he thought, let me step in today to I'll
catch up tomorrow. I have a good horse. I'll catch up with him. A few days passed by and the army
was gone so far behind and he just was just delaying it, delaying it, that he didn't end up leaving
altogether. now in the process of the law while he was sent and returned from the Battle of the
book, all the hypocrites one by one came and started presenting their excuses. That Oh, I didn't
come to this reason I didn't come for that reason. The province that allowed it was sort of new,
these were all they were hypocrites, so he didn't bother with them. When carbon money came the
		

			Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Tim God, what was your reason? He was a true Sahabi. So
what was your reason? So he said, a messenger of Allah, Allah subhanho wa Taala has given me the
gift of a gob. These are his words, Allah has given me the gift of the God. If I want I can put
alive before you that will be so convincing that even you won't know what the truth is or what a lie
is. I can fully right now, but if I do a lot of still watching me, so rather than lying, I'm going
to say the simple truth. It was my fault. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said to him and
give to other companions, that Allah will decide regarding you. And the Sahaba boycotted them. No
		

			one in Medina mana what I was talking to them, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam wasn't
talking to them. And imagine how hard that was the person they loved the most. Imagine how angry
they became. Today, if you know the father stops talking to his son, the son will say to his father,
I don't need you either. Yes, no. That's exactly what I don't need you either. I'm not gonna talk to
you to forget you. But here the purpose of allowing it was sentiments and talking to God and no
one's talking to him. He's like a ghost. Does it gliding through the streets of Medina Manawa.
That's it.
		

			And he's so worried he's so worried. And this news reaches one of the Roman kings. And the Roman
King finds this an opportunity. He writes a letter to carbon medic and he says to carbon medic, that
the news has reached us that your companion meaning the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has
turned away from you come to us. Allah subhana wa tada did not make this earth as a constriction and
it is comfort for you. Come to us and we will give you comfort we will give you honor. This was his
letter. He wrote to carbon money that forget the Prophet come join us. And what carbon monitor the
alarm won't reply back. There are many different iterations, the most simplest of them the most
		

			conservative in words, if you wish to Satan and aggression, as a carbon molecule, viola Juan's reply
he says, By Allah, this is another test from Allah. This is just he wrote he replied back by saying
you are a test from Allah subhana wa tada and what's happening to me is a test of Allah and one
narration Goblin Malik replied back by saying oh dog of Rome do not come between us and Medina
Madonna don't get between us this is just an internal matter. So even though the partners that allow
it was sent him was upset with him, that wasn't you know, a ship I'm kind of use that as a perfect
opportunity to turn Goblin medic against him. But they understood that this uniting does not bring
		

			people together. being disobedient does not bring people together. uniting as a nation is what will
bring us together. And remember, once we can stand up for each other and care for each other and
love for each other, we should love the way we should love for each other. That's when Allah
subhanahu wa tada will truly give us victory. You know, we've all heard of we all know that.
Mashallah. 100 Allah subhanho wa Taala blessed
		

			India with Islam, and before Islam came there, predominantly Hinduism. But do any of us even know
how Islam came to India? How many of us even know that? Right? It was the time of Raja died. He was
the king of India very briefly, just so that you understand. And there was a port, which is today
some scholars say it was a port of Karachi, some It was a port of Bombay, Allahu Allah knows best.
It was a part of India and the Muslim. The Muslim businessmen were returning back and when they were
passing by this port, there was a lady standing there and she screamed out saying that tell the Holy
Father How dare he sleep and comfort while and Muslim lady is being abused in a foreign land, convey
		

			this message to him. They went to the halifa and said that this is the lady said we just wanted to
convey the message to you. He said okay, if that's the case, go and tell my governor how Jasmine
used to send an army that way. Hi, Jasmine used to funny heard this. He said Oh, they're doing this
to a lady. He wrote a letter. He said, Oh King, you have two options. Either you release the lady or
we will send men to you. The who swords will shine up your palaces, the swords of theirs. They will
shout out your policies. Raja Davina, when he heard this he became very angry. He said, Do whatever
you want to not release anger. So then, when he stood up after fighter salon, he made an
		

			announcement he said who will go to rescue assemble
		

			Who's on a goal, and everyone was sitting down. The reason why they were sitting down is because the
soldiers were already in the battlefield. They were already at the forefront already, you know,
already fighting in the in the cause of Allah subhanaw taala. And whoever was there, they were
either very young people or elderly people. They weren't actually the soldier profile people. So
Jasmine uses when he saw no one standing up, he pointed towards his son in law, his daughter's
husband, he said, You stand up.
		

			Nowadays, the father in law doesn't have that type of rub over his son in law. But hey, Jasmine
Yusuf used to okay. His son in law, Mohammed bin Qasim stood up. And he said to him, grassmere
friends together, put an armor together and marched towards India. And then you should read the
dust. And after that the story after that, which is another time maybe Allah subhanaw taala wills.
But the point that I'm making is that just one lady calling out, an entire Muslim army rushes in
that direction. And today, we have a nation that is crying and begging for help. Well, I love him.
For those of us who don't feel any pain for those who are suffering in Syria right now. We really
		

			have to ask ourselves, do we even know what's happening out there? If we knew what was happening in
Syria right now, what young kids are going through a lot in our team, our hearts would shake and
tears would jump out of our eyes, they would fall out of our eyes. But the thing is that we're not
concerned why aren't we concerned? Because this crowd is predominantly non Syrian? Why would we care
about goals of war in Syria? What does that have to do with me? That doesn't have anything to do
with me, when in reality, it has everything to do with us. The competitors of the province that
allamani was sent them didn't like color or race, or language does unite them. They're united, they
		

			fell for each other, no matter whatever the race was, in one measure. Do you have a lot of your
loved one who was from
		

			Habesha, you had some might have your loved one who was from
		

			Persia, you had a bit of your loved one was from Rome, and the Persian the Romans hated each other
you don't find any narration that one day so haven who will walk into so haven Samana walking
together and so he trips on over to take that event you ever heard a narration like that? No,
doesn't exist, because no matter whether they were from opposite, you know, empires, they still love
each other because it was the Battle of Islam that button together. There are so many verses in the
parameters are so many traditions of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam. In this regard, we need
to understand the power of our unity. I'm telling you, if the Muslims united together, there is no
		

			power in the world that can bring them down. Allah azza wa jal says this, that you will always be a
float as long as you believe in Allah, you have to be true believers in our unity is what brings us
together, we shouldn't let these small things disunited colored and think about this. If you want to
find out how much you're actually contributing towards uniting the oma ask yourself this. That is
our, our friends circle that's around us. How many people in our friend circle are actually not from
our race? Ask yourself this question. Last time I had a third party at my house, ask yourself this
question. Then how many people were sitting there who weren't from my race and we're still Muslim,
		

			or even non Muslim. That's another thing, whatever. How many people were there?
		

			What happens to most of us is that we only invite people from our friends, our family, our social
class to, you know, people who are as rich as us who are wealthier than us. That's how it works. The
province of Ontario seven said may Allah have mercy on a wedding in which the poor people are
invited?
		

			Yes, no. Yes, that's true. That's true. So we should be a United Nation shuffled him. On the Hudson
Rahim Allah tala tomasa. He was a great scholar. And he was given the title of shift one hint that
shifted him means the shift of India. And it's a very interesting story. Because when he was given
that title, another scholar when he heard this, he got angry. He said, who's this guy who's calling
himself shift lens? Where did he come on? How about the rest of us? What are we doing? So he caught
a train came all the way to Dillman, which is a city in India. He got off the train. He asked the
people who's, where's this guy called? Who is the chef on him guy gone? This guy was calling himself
		

			the scholar of India. I want to meet this guy. Let's see what he is. He was a little skeptic. So he
came to the chef's house. They said his house is there. He went to the chef's house he not
		

			guy who opened the door. He said, Where's the shepherd hidden I want to meet him. He said, Where
have you come from? He said, I've come from far of contribution when he said Okay, come inside. So
you brought him inside. He hadn't seen inside, seated in the guest room. And then he went inside
bought him a cup of water. He said, Look, brother, I have another train to catch. I don't have time
for this. Hold that shift Linda. He said he's coming very soon inshallah But meanwhile, why don't
you just relax a little he brings him some food bring them some food begins to restart the guy
shoulders. The guy is getting frustrated. He's like, Bro, I don't need the massage. I don't need the
		

			food. Don't need the water. Go call that shift with him. So then this man says to him, yeah, showed
him the cornea that had been the economy.
		

			There's no single hint who lives here. My name is Mohammed Hassan. And he was the shepherd him
himself. And then after he said to this guy, that if you are the person will shift on him that's
serving me. Then I say that you are worthy of this title. And this chef will him he was one of the
great scholars who fought the war against communism. No sorry, not communism, sorry. against the
British.
		

			colonialism. Thank you. Sorry, my bad. He fought a great war against colonialism. And he was
arrested in this and he was sent to Malta, which is kind of like the one of the what's it called in
California.
		

			California is kind of like the Indian Alcatraz, they have their kind of Malta, okay. And he was
there and he was there for a very long time. And when he was released, they say regarding him that
he was whipped inside the prison every day. And they used to try to incite him to cause disunity
within the people, because there's a large group of people that were following him. And he was
standing up very firm, and they whipped him and whipped him. And finally, when he came out of the
prison, he gave a very beautiful speech. It was a historical speech he gave, there were 1000s of
people there. And he said that when I was in the prison when I was being lifted when I was sitting
		

			there in solitary when I was sitting there in confinement, I asked myself, the Why is the oma where
it is today? And I asked myself this question, day and night, day and night. And he said, Then Allah
subhanaw taala gave me the answer, that there are two reasons why the oma is where it is today. The
reason why we are degraded in the eyes of the disbelievers. He said, why the first thing we no
longer have an attachment on.
		

			He said the second thing because we are disunited, we are a divided nation. We aren't united any
longer if we can become united again. Allah subhana wa, tada will lift us up. Now the question is,
what do we do to become united? Is that a good question? Yes or no? It is. Okay.
		

			There's a very beautiful book written by Imam Al ghazali Rahmatullah yada, yada, Moody, very
beautiful, the revival of the sciences of religion.
		

			in there, he actually has a chapter. And in that chapter,
		

			he talks about the duties of brotherhood. The chapter is called on the duties of brotherhood. It's a
very beautiful chapter. And it's actually been printed as a book. In reality, it's not a separate
book. It's actually a chapter taken from the
		

			lion.
		

			I advise you guys, I would like to go through it right now. But it's a long discussion. This will
turn into an hour long lecture, so I don't have time to go through it all. However, what I will say
is that I encourage you guys all to go find it online and read it on the duties of brotherhood
written by a man pasado de la yadi. The summary is that a man was added to the law, he lists eight
things, eight duties of each Muslim has towards another Muslim. And he says that if you can bring
these eight duties into your life, that Allah subhanahu wa tada will reward you for being beautiful
to your brother. There's another very beautiful tradition of the prophets of Allah audio center, in
		

			which the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam tells us and this hadith of a Muslim that a Muslim has
six rights to another Muslim in one narration, it isn't a sixth it says how many five that one
Muslim has five rights. One of them has six rights to another Muslim cryptominers. I'll cover the
one with six. So that way, we have our extended version of the narration. The first write that one
Muslim has another Muslim and when we look at these six things, it teaches us different aspects of
unity. The first thing when he meets him, he gives him the greeting of a Salaam Alaikum wa
rahmatullah wa barakato. And you say this a ceremony, camera hotline ricotta to everyone you meet,
		

			anyone you meet, whether they are from your race or not, whether you know them or not, whether they
are your friends or not, even if they're your enemies when you meet them. You should start off by
saying, I said, Imani Kumar,
		

			we've all been coming for throbbing prayer to this budget now, for how many nights today is the 25th
night 25 nights. It's 2926 926 nine today, we just finished the 25th test. And how many of us have
actually can say confidently that I have six and on to everyone in this room? Very few of us, if
any? Because we only say Salaam to those who we wish to say Salaam to who are our friends, the
people who aren't our friends, the people who have another color someone's you know, a little
lighter than us someone's skin tone is a little darker, that is meeting all that person's you know,
probably smells, the Hollywood Aqua De La Villa, this is the way we think, when in reality that's
		

			not how we should think we should say to every person. The second thing the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam says,
		

			okay, when he invites you that you respond to His invitation, if your Muslim brother invites you
over for food or for dinner, or for some sort of gathering, you shouldn't ignore him in response,
you should actually accept his invitation. If you can accept an invitation that will make that
person happy, and that will unite you. Therefore we should learn to invite one another to our
houses, give gifts to one another for this also increases love. The next thing is that when he seeks
advice from you, you should give him sincere advice. Someone comes to you and says I need advice
from you. Don't think by default because he's coming to you. You're better than him. You're not
		

			better than him. Only a lot. Whether you're better or not. If someone comes to you for advice, be
sincere and give that person advice back the promise of allamani wisdom says that when your brother
sneezes, and if he says that 100 law when he faces a lot what should you say in return your hammock
Allah This is their responsibility. Now. If he says 100 Lhasa honkala, because if you don't say
Allah he will get he's gonna get offended. Why don't you give me the law when I praise Allah subhana
wa Tada. Okay, the next in the progress that allamani was sent him said is that when he becomes ill,
you go to you go to visit him. How many of us actually go to these nursing homes and visit most
		

			There, I'm telling you there are. So if you really feel like your heart has become hard and you're
losing, you're losing grip with your mind, I'm being honest. If you really feel that, go to an old
people's home, walk inside them. To see what's happening, see, stand in the corner of the passageway
and his watch.
		

			I'm telling you, tears will roll out of your eyes. Because you'll realize that one day, you may end
up coming there, we should go and visit the sick, if we go to visit the sick, allow or send someone
to visit us when we become sick. And the last one that pops blossom says and go and when he dies,
that you follow Him, you can't walk with his body, you carry his body all the way to the graveyard.
This also right, this idea is narrated by Muslim, Muhammad Ali Ali from the last one. So from this
narration, we learn certain rights that we have one on one another, and one of the most powerful
things that we can do as a prophet. So awesome. So first thing is start by spreading Suriname
		

			abundantly. So you've heard that Allah subhanho wa Taala gives us the trophies and ability to be
united. And that Allah subhanho wa Taala allows us to go out of our comfort zone for other Muslims.
Okay, for other people, you might actually want to say one thing that even goes on, he says, then
I'll end it. Remember this article, it says that there are three possible relationships that you can
have with your Muslim brother, either you can treat him like a servant, which means that you give
him your leftovers, or either you can treat him like an equal, which means you share with him what
you have, or you can treat him better than you which means you give him more than you even give to
		

			yourself. Ask yourself which category do we fall in? I fear that we may end up saying that I don't
fall in any category. Because I really don't give anything to my neighbor. You know, we've been
living in this country for so long. But our neighbors haven't asked us about Islam yet. Really.
There's a question Have we done? Have you fulfilled our responsibility as being good Muslim role
models in this country, not less and part of that give us a gift to act upon what has been said? So
