Victory does not come immediately.
Had victory been something that Allah grants immediately
to His servants, then the first to receive
it would have been His Prophet and the
companions of the Prophet ﷺ.
Rather, the companions of the Prophet ﷺ were
tortured and struck.
They were boycotted and sieged.
And they were killed in the path of
Allah ﷻ.
They suffered while the Prophet ﷺ suffered alongside
them.
Victory comes only after hardship and difficulty.
Victory comes only after the tests and the
trials and the difficulties are so much.
They are so numerous that most people give
up.
And only a few do not.
Allah ﷻ says, أَمْ حَسِبْتُمْ أَن تَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةِ
Did you think that you would enter Paradise?
And what victory is greater than Paradise?
أَمْ حَسِبْتُمْ أَن تَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةِ وَلَمَّا يَأْتِكُمْ مَثَرُ
الَّذِينَ خَلَوْا مِن قَبْلِكُمْ And you would not
face similar to what those before you faced.
مَسَّتْهُمُ الْبَأْسَاءُ وَالضَّرَّاءُ وَزُلْزِلُوا They were struck by
poverty and hardship and they were shaken.
حَتَّى يَقُولُ الرَّسُولُ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مَعَهُمْ مَتَى نَصْحُ
اللَّهِ Until the messenger and those who believe
with him cried out, Where is the help
of Allah?
Where is the victory of Allah?
How many people in our day and age
have given up?
How many people in our day and age
have given up on the Ummah of Muhammad
ﷺ?
How many people in our day and age
have decided that nothing will change?
That the problems, the tyranny, the oppressions that
engulf the Muslim world will be as they
are forever.
But this is the sunnah of Allah ﷻ,
to push us to the point where only
the real believer holds true.
حَتَّى يَقُولُ الرَّسُولُ Until the messenger that is
with them وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مَعَهُمْ and the believers
that are with him They say, مَتَى نَصْحُ
اللَّهِ When is the victory of Allah?
Then Allah responds immediately, أَلَا إِنَّ نَصْرَ اللَّهِ
قَرِيمٌ Without question, the victory of Allah is
near.
One of the greatest ways for us to
be patient, for us to persevere, for us
to be amongst the last people holding on
to our belief in Allah ﷻ even if
all the world unites against us, so that
we are the people who receive the help
of Allah ﷻ.
One of the greatest ways for us to
persevere is to realize and remember the promise
of Allah ﷻ in the face of injustice
and tyranny.
Allah promises you in the Qur'an, إِنَّهُ
لَا يُفْلِحُ الظَّالِمُونَ The ones who are oppressive
will never succeed.
He tells you in the Qur'an, أَلَا
لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَى الظَّالِمِينَ Indeed, the curse of
Allah, without question, the curse of Allah is
on the oppressive.
We spent this last week seeing images of
the worst forms of injustice in the heart
of the Muslim world.
The darknesses of prison cells, the desolation of
these cells, where chains were shattering, where no
one knew the extent of the oppression happening
in these dungeons.
And those in these prisons were crying and
calling upon Allah ﷻ.
No one saw them except Allah.
And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he spoke
truth when he said, اِتَّقُوا دَعْوَةَ الْمَظْلُومِ فَإِنَّهَا
تَصْعَدُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ كَأَنَّهَا شِرَارًا He said, fear
the supplication of the one who is oppressed.
Because that supplication rises up like the spark
or the flame.
The fiery spark, you see it with your
eyes, rise up so quickly.
Likewise the dua of the one who is
oppressed is rising up to Allah ﷻ.
That spark, why does Allah call it a
spark?
Because that little piece of fire that is
rising up can engulf something huge.
The anger of Allah could be engulfed by
that one spark from hearts that are consumed
by suffering when they make that dua.
The Prophet ﷺ tells us in another hadith,
اِتَّقُوا دَعْوَةَ الْمَظْلُومِ فَإِنَّهَا تُحْمَلُ عَلَى الْغَمَامِ ثُمَّ
يَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى وَعِزَّتِي وَجَلَالِي لَأَنْصُرَنَّكَ وَلَوْ بَعْدَ
حِينٍ The Prophet ﷺ said, beware of the
supplication of the oppressed because it is carried
above the clouds.
And Allah will say, by my might, Allah
will swear an oath by himself, by my
might and my majesty, I will give you
victory even if it's after a while.
We said last week, Allah ﷻ doesn't operate
on our calendar.
He's not abiding by our expectations.
Allah's affair will take place according to His
calendar.
And He tells the oppressed, even if this
takes a while, you will have my help.
The believer who hears this should realize never
oppress someone else.
Because oppression will only lead to regret.
You sleep peacefully and the one who is
oppressed is calling upon Allah ﷻ, praying against
you.
You may sleep peacefully and the oppressed is
awake calling upon Allah.
And the oppressor, the tyrant revels in his
power, in his pride.
He feels trust in his armies, in his
weapons.
Not realizing that Allah ﷻ is silently weaving
the threads of his downfall while he doesn't
realize it.
We saw ourselves how in the blink of
an eye, Allah ﷻ can change one condition
to another.
And Allah ﷻ tells us, وَلَا تَحْسَبَنَّ اللَّهَ
غَافِرًا عَمَّا يَعْمَلُ الظَّالِمُونَ He says, do not
think Allah is unaware of what the oppressors
do.
When Allah delays a punishment, don't think He's
unaware of what the oppressive are doing.
Don't think Allah is unaware of what is
happening.
And what's amazing is that Allah ﷻ tells
you this right after another verse.
Where He tells you, رَبَّنَا اغْفِرْ لِي وَلِوَارِدَيَّ
وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَوْمَ يَقُومُ الْحِسَابُ And Allah reminds you
in the verse before it of a dua,
O Allah forgive me and my parents and
the believers the day the account will be
established.
يَوْمَ الْحِسَابُ The day of resurrection.
The greatest signs of the resurrection is that
Allah ﷻ is just.
The events of this world, when you see
profound justice taking its course, this is a
sign.
Allah is reminding you that He is just.
And because you know that Allah is just,
there must be يَوْمَ الْحِسَابُ There must be
a day of account.
وَكَذَٰلِكَ أَخْذُ رَبِّكَ إِذَا أَخَذَ الْقُرَىٰ وَهِيَ ظَالِمًا
إِنَّ أَخْذَهُ أَلِيمٌ شَدِيدٌ Allah ﷻ tells you,
when Allah takes the towns, when He takes
the cities that have been oppressed into His
punishment, إِنَّ أَخْذَهُ أَلِيمٌ شَدِيدٌ His taking is
painful and severe.
So Allah tells you, وَلَا تَحْزَبَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ
غَافِنًا عَمَّا يَعْمَلُ الظَّالِيمُ Don't think Allah is
unaware of what the oppressors do.
إِنَّمَا يُؤَخِّرُهُمْ لِيَوْمٍ تَشْخَصُ فِيهِ الْأَبْصَارِ He is
only delaying them for a day that their
eyes will stare in horror.
تَشْخَص means the eye is open, it's unable
to even blink.
That happens when a person sees something that
is truly terrifying and it causes him to
forget everything.
You're unable to even look away.
All you can see is this thing that
is terrifying, that is horrific.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala continues to describe
the state of the oppressor.
مُغْطِعِينَ مُقْنِعِي رُؤُوسِهِمْ مُغْطِعِين means they are racing,
they are racing towards their place of humiliation.
They're gonna be dragged by the angels from
the place that they are resurrected, they are
dragged to the place of their punishment, because
in the place of their punishment Allah will
take them to account.
مُغْطِعِي رُؤُوسِهِمْ Their heads are lifted, they're looking
up.
Why?
Because the punishment, the horrific thing that they
are seeing is above them.
So their heads are raised up looking at
what is above their heads, about to be
fallen.
لَا يَرْتَدُ إِلَيْهِمْ طَرْفُهُمْ Their eyes cannot move
in any direction or even blink.
They are staring completely at this thing.
Can you imagine someone facing a lion?
They found themselves facing a lion.
I saw a video of a man in
a zoo, he fell in, the lion is
in front of him.
Do you think that man in that moment
is thinking about the stress of his job?
Do you think he's thinking about the worry
of his family?
Do you think he's thinking of any paper
cuts or small problem he has?
No.
He is thinking of nothing but that lion.
And his eyes are fixated only on this
thing that is full of fear to him.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is telling you
what they see on that day which he
doesn't describe.
He describes the state of the person.
What he sees is so terrifying, his eye
cannot look here or there.
His eyes can't even blink.
He is fully consumed by what Allah has
prepared for him.
وَأَفْئِدَتُهُمْ هَوَاءًۭ Allah says the heart is empty.
The heart can't worry about anything else, can't
think about anything else, can't have anything on
its mind at all.
All it has is the punishment Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala has prepared for them.
Without Allah even explaining to us in detail
what exactly he has prepared for the oppressor,
just describing the state of the oppressor.
The Qur'an is illuminating how horrific the
situation will be.
وَأَنذِرِ النَّاسِ Allah says, warn the people.
يَوْمَ يَأْتِيهِمُ الْعَذَابِ About the day that the
punishment will come to them.
فَيَقُولُ الَّذِينَ ظَنَمُوا Those who are oppressive will
say, رَبَّنَا أَخِّرْنَا إِلَىٰ أَجْلٍ قَرِيدٍ Oh Allah,
give us some more time.
When they see the punishment, they say, Allah,
let us go back to this earth.
Give us some more life.
رَبَّنَا أَخِّرْنَا إِلَىٰ أَجْلٍ قَرِيدٍ نُجِبْ دَعْوَتَكَ وَنَتَّبِعِ
الرُّسُلِ We will respond to your call.
We will follow the prophets.
Give us another chance.
We will replace the injustice we did in
this world with justice.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will say to
them, أَوَلَمْ تَكُونُ أَقْسَمْتُمْ مِنْ قَبْلٍ مَا لَكُمْ
مِنْ زَوَالٍ Were you not the people who
were swearing before that this will never end?
Meaning when you were in this world and
you were doing your injustice, weren't you the
one swearing this injustice will never come to
an end?
Weren't you the people saying your tyranny will
remain forever?
Weren't you the one saying لا إله إلا
بشار Did they not say that?
Did they not say there is no God
but Bashar?
Did they not take the prisoners and make
them make sujood to his pictures?
Did they not say this will never end?
Did they not say Bashar or we will
burn the whole country?
Did they not say their oppression will last
forever?
Were they not the one saying today the
Palestinians can either live as slaves to us
or die or leave?
Did they not say and believe that their
tyranny, their regimes will last forever?
أَوَلَمْ تَكُونُ أَقْسَمْتُمْ مِنْ قَبْلٍ مَا لَكُمْ مِنْ
زَوَارٍ Were you not the one swearing this
will never go away?
وَسَكَنتُمْ فِي مَسَاكِنِ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا أَنفُسَهُمْ Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala says and you were living
in the dwellings of those who had previously
oppressed themselves وَتَبَيَّنَ لَكُمْ كَيْفَ فَعَنَّا بِهِمْ وَضَرَبْنَا
لَكُمُ الْأَمْثَادِ And it was clear to you
what we did to them and we gave
you many examples Didn't you see the ruins
of the people before you?
Didn't you see the castles of the kings
before you who also said their tyranny will
last forever?
Their kingdom will last forever?
Didn't you see it?
Didn't you see how Allah annihilated civilization one
after the other before you?
Didn't Allah remind you time and time again
this life is not permanent?
Didn't you see Firaun claiming to the people
that he is a god?
Claiming to the people that the rivers run
beneath his legs?
قَالَ يَا قَوْمَ عَلَيْهِ سَلِيمٌ كُمَصْرٌ وَهَذِي الْأَنْهَارُ
تَجْرِي مِنْ تَحْتِي He said, O people, do
you not see that the kingdom of Egypt
belongs to me and these rivers flow beneath
me?
I am the king of even the water
that comes to you?
What happened to him?
Allah drowned him in the very water he
claimed to be a god of.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says, وَتَبَيَّنَ لَكُمْ
كَيْفَ فَعَنَّا بِهِمْ وَضَرَبْنَا لَكُمُ الْأَمْثَالِ We made
clear to you what we did to them
and we gave you many examples.
وَقَدْ مَكَرُوا مَكْرَهُمْ وَعِنْدَ اللَّهِ مَكْرُهُمْ They planned
their plans and Allah recorded their plans.
They made their deals here and there.
They made all the deals to oppress, to
make injustice one after the other, deal after
deal.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says, وَإِن كَانَ
مَكْرُهُمْ لِتَزُولَ مِنْهُ الْجِبَالِ And even if their
plots were so much, they could move mountains.
Even if their schemes were so much, were
so powerful, it could move an entire mountain.
They still cannot escape the justice of Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala.
No matter what their schemes are.
No matter what their plots and plans are.
No matter what their media and propaganda is.
No matter if they plot so much, they
could move the earth.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala tells you, فَلَا
تَحْسَبَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ مُخْلِفَ وَعْدِهِ رُسُولَهِ Do not
think that Allah, do not think that Allah
will fail His promise to His messengers.
فَلَا تَحْسَبَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ مُخْلِفَ وَعْدِهِ رُسُولَهِ Allah
made promises.
He made promises to the prophets, to the
believers.
Allah will not fail them.
إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ ذُنْتِقَىٰ Allah says, Indeed Allah
is exalted in might, and He is the
owner of retribution.
Allah does not break His promise to the
messengers.
He fulfills every promise.
And Allah is عَزِيز, full of might, no
one can defeat Him.
ذُنْتِقَىٰ, full of retribution, no one can punish,
like Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَىٰ فَيَوْمَئِذٍ لَا يُعَذِّبُ عَلَابَهُ
أَحَدٌ On that day no one will punish,
like the punishment of Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَىٰ Allah
سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَىٰ says, يَوْمَ تُبَدَّلُ الْأَرْضُ غَيْرَ الْأَرْضِ
وَالسَّمَاوَاتِ وَبَرَزُولِ اللَّهِ الْوَاحِدِ الْقَهَارِ On that day
of judgment, the earth will be replaced with
another earth.
And the heavens will also be replaced.
And the creatures will all come out to
Allah.
الواحد, the one, القهار, the one who prevails.
وَتَرَى الْمُجْرِمِينَ يَوْمَئِذٍ مُقَرَّنِينَ فِي الْأَصْفَادِ And you
will see the criminals on that day, they
will be bound together in shackles.
The ones who are bounding up the believers,
binding their hands, binding their legs, suspending them
for weeks.
Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى will bring them on
the day of judgment, they will be the
ones shackled up.
صَرَابِنُهُمْ مِنْ قَطَرَانِ Their garments will be of
liquid pitch.
Their faces covered by fire.
Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى is just.
Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى is the one who
is just.
He doesn't accept that the oppressed dies in
this state of anguish not knowing that Allah
سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى that Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى
will take retribution on his behalf.
And the greatest retribution is in the hereafter.
I wanna promise all of you something.
Despite all the scenes we saw, of the
worst prisons imaginable, that you cannot understand how
some human beings can do this to other
human beings.
That women came out of these prisons saying,
we were put into the prison, 18 years
old, unmarried, virgins, and they came out with
children, they don't know the fathers of them.
Because of how * was utilized as torture.
Children born in these prisons, if you ask
them, what is a tree?
What is a bird?
They do not know.
Because they've never seen anything but the walls
of the prison.
Machines made in these prisons to squash the
human being and drain the fluid.
Prisons that are slaughterhouses for human beings.
And while we're happy today that these prisons
are empty, we of course know that there
are prisons like it in other Muslim countries.
A vestige of colonialism.
The colonizer came in and said, you Muslims
are barbaric, you must treat each other with
barbarism.
And they established this sunnah in the elite
rulers that they left in place.
The greatest brutality in our countries, we know
there are prisons just like this, still functioning
in Muslim countries.
But this is my promise to you.
Everything that you saw, these vile prisons, every
vile aspect you saw, these prisons are like
a five-star resort compared to what Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala has prepared for the
oppressor in Jahannam.
That is a promise.
The Prophet ﷺ tells us, يُحْشَرَ الْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ يَوْمِ
الْقِيَامَةِ كَأَمْثَالِ الظَّرِّ فِي صُورِ الرِّجَالِ He said,
the arrogant ones on the day of judgment
will be resurrected the size of ants in
the form of men.
They will still be in the human form,
but they will be so small, they will
be like ants.
يَغْشَاهُمُ الظُّلُّ مِن كُلِّ مَكَانٍ They are humiliated
from all angles.
This person who lived his life to rise
above other human beings, to make other human
beings make sujood to him, to make them
enslaved to him, to throw them in his
dungeons and prisons.
This person who tried to raise himself above
others will be like the ants.
Humiliation all around him.
يُسَاقُونَ إِلَى سِجْنٍ فِي جَهَنَّمٍ يُسَامَ بُودُس They
will be dragged to a prison in the
hellfire named Boudos.
And the Prophet ﷺ said, تَعْلُوهُمْ نَارُ الْأَنْيَارِ
يَسْقَوْنَ مِنْ عِصَارَةَ أَهْلِ النَّارِ طِينَةِ الْخِبَالِ That
the Prophet ﷺ said, they will be engulfed
by flames different than the other flames.
And they will be given the filth of
* to drink.
They'll be driven to a prison in the
hellfire.
Being in the hellfire is enough of a
torment.
It's enough of a punishment.
But no, Allah ﷻ sends them to a
prison inside of the hellfire.
Why?
إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الظَّالِمِينَ Allah does not
love the oppressors.
إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ ذُنْتِقَامٌ Allah is mighty and
He is full of retribution to the oppressor.
فَيَوْمَئِذٍ لَا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُ أَحَدٍ وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُ
أَحَدٍ On that day, no punishment will be
like the punishment of Allah.
And no binding will be like the binding
of Allah ﷻ.
They're sent to a prison in the hellfire.
Engulfed by flames unlike any other flames.
And they're given to drink the filth of
the people of the hellfire.
Meaning as the people of the hellfire are
being punished and being tormented and the blood
and the pus is driving out of the
body of the human being.
This is gathered and this is the drink
of these people in this prison.
Allah ﷻ is telling us the fate of
the oppressor.
And there are many oppressors still standing in
this world but realize this promise of Allah
ﷻ is true.
And when the believers are patient and persevere
and unite their ranks Allah ﷻ in a
day and a night will show them the
state of the believer in the dunya before
their state in the akhirah.
فَأَقُولُوا قَبْلِ هَذَا وَاسْتَغْفُرُوا عَلَيْهِمْ أَسْتَغْفُرُوا إِنَّهُمْ
غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ
