Scholars, our father figures, our mentors, our beloved fathers and

00:00:13 --> 00:00:21

mothers, brothers and sisters and our innocent children. Assalamu.

00:00:21 --> 00:00:23

Alaikum. Warahmatullahi, Assalamu alaikum.

00:00:26 --> 00:00:30

Ji satari would have been better to balance this group here by

00:00:30 --> 00:00:34

having sister Fatima come and speak after Ambassador Ibrahim

00:00:34 --> 00:00:40

Raso and I would have advised that we've been good ballads. Shukan

00:00:40 --> 00:00:43

Ibrahim for making it very difficult to say anything.

00:00:48 --> 00:00:53

The development that have been taking place in our community,

00:00:53 --> 00:00:56

different developments that have been happening in our community

00:00:56 --> 00:01:00

have been causes of great concern. But these issues are issues that

00:01:02 --> 00:01:03

have been coming on for time.

00:01:04 --> 00:01:08

And these are not issues that are peculiar, unfortunately and

00:01:08 --> 00:01:12

regrettably to our community here in the cape, they are happening,

00:01:12 --> 00:01:16

seem happening, seeming, seemingly in the Muslim communities across

00:01:16 --> 00:01:17

the world,

00:01:19 --> 00:01:20

it would appear that

00:01:21 --> 00:01:24

we certainly, as

00:01:25 --> 00:01:28

Ambassador Abraham, said, We certainly do not take lesson from

00:01:28 --> 00:01:28

history.

00:01:30 --> 00:01:34

It seems that we would rather follow the adage that says that

00:01:34 --> 00:01:35

history must repeat itself.

00:01:37 --> 00:01:39

History repeating itself is in fact,

00:01:41 --> 00:01:46

a system and a design of Allah.

00:01:48 --> 00:01:52

And Allah subhana wa Taala speaks in the Holy Quran about history

00:01:53 --> 00:01:58

abundantly and Allah. Subhana wa Taala references that he has

00:01:58 --> 00:02:03

certain laws that govern human existence on this earth,

00:02:04 --> 00:02:08

and that those laws are, in fact, referred to in the Holy Quran as

00:02:08 --> 00:02:09

sunnat Allah fill out. And

00:02:10 --> 00:02:13

Allah emphasizes, and he says,

00:02:14 --> 00:02:18

Walen tajid Ali, sunnathi, tahwillah, Walen tajid Ali, sunnat

00:02:18 --> 00:02:24

Elahi, tabdila, you shall not find divergence from those laws and

00:02:24 --> 00:02:29

deviation in those laws of Allah, subhanaw wa taala, substitution of

00:02:29 --> 00:02:34

those laws of Allah, subhanaw wa taala, not in the most minute of

00:02:34 --> 00:02:34

forms.

00:02:36 --> 00:02:40

Allah's laws will always apply irrespective whether they're on

00:02:40 --> 00:02:44

communities of faith, or they in communities of non faith

00:02:44 --> 00:02:46

communities. It does not matter.

00:02:48 --> 00:02:52

And so whatever we bring forth with our hands,

00:02:54 --> 00:03:01

we will reap the consequences thereof, the HAR al facade in NAS

00:03:02 --> 00:03:04

that mischief and

00:03:05 --> 00:03:10

transgression shall spread through the earth and through the oceans

00:03:11 --> 00:03:15

on the basis of what human beings have brought forth with their own

00:03:15 --> 00:03:16

hands.

00:03:19 --> 00:03:22

So these laws of Allah,

00:03:23 --> 00:03:27

this the natural laws of Allah, amen.

00:03:28 --> 00:03:32

And obviously they are in and around. We live them, and we

00:03:32 --> 00:03:34

sometimes don't even realize that we live them.

00:03:35 --> 00:03:40

Of these laws are that Allah, subhana wa Taala had created human

00:03:40 --> 00:03:41

beings,

00:03:43 --> 00:03:46

and the law that applies to them is

00:03:47 --> 00:03:53

that Allah subhana wa Taala had decided against Allah Tala had

00:03:53 --> 00:03:57

decided against uniformity

00:03:58 --> 00:03:59

in this creation,

00:04:01 --> 00:04:06

uniformity is not how Allah created human beings. Walosha or

00:04:06 --> 00:04:08

Bucha la Jas

00:04:10 --> 00:04:15

had been the will of Allah. He would create human beings as one

00:04:15 --> 00:04:16

Ummah,

00:04:17 --> 00:04:22

but his law is wala, yaza, Nuna, Mukta, lefe, they shall indeed

00:04:22 --> 00:04:27

continue to have differences. Differ with one another, have

00:04:27 --> 00:04:30

different views. Look at things differently, see the world

00:04:30 --> 00:04:34

differently. Wa La yaza, Luna mukht Ali, they shall do that

00:04:36 --> 00:04:39

forever. La yaza, it won't cease.

00:04:41 --> 00:04:43

Differences. Is natural,

00:04:44 --> 00:04:49

that we would differ and have Sunnis and shiris is natural.

00:04:50 --> 00:04:55

This is Allah subhana wa taala, that you believe and that we

00:04:55 --> 00:04:59

believe as we are in this Masjid. The majority of us are Sunni.

00:05:00 --> 00:05:06

And that we have our beliefs is not just natural. It is also our

00:05:06 --> 00:05:06

right,

00:05:09 --> 00:05:14

because Allah also speaks about the freedom of conscience, the

00:05:14 --> 00:05:19

freedom of thought, the freedom of belief. And all of that becomes

00:05:19 --> 00:05:23

part of Allah, taala, sunnah on this earth. And so when we speak

00:05:23 --> 00:05:28

about the differences that we have with the Shia, you can speak about

00:05:28 --> 00:05:28

it.

00:05:30 --> 00:05:32

There is no, no problem with that.

00:05:33 --> 00:05:38

The problem is, how do you speak about it? The problem is, how do

00:05:38 --> 00:05:39

you differ with one another?

00:05:41 --> 00:05:45

And so our brother sitting on the corner on that side, brother,

00:05:45 --> 00:05:50

molena Aftab, heyder, I've had opportunity to quote from himself,

00:05:50 --> 00:05:56

saying, We do not have a problem. If you critique, if you have, if

00:05:56 --> 00:05:59

you put forth your position of differences between the Sunnah and

00:05:59 --> 00:06:02

the Shia, that's not a problem. That's your right.

00:06:03 --> 00:06:10

But do not create mischief. Do not create and spread hatred. Do not

00:06:10 --> 00:06:18

incite the emotions of people and fan people's emotions to the point

00:06:18 --> 00:06:23

where people go into a stupa and into a frenzy of how they view the

00:06:23 --> 00:06:24

other person.

00:06:25 --> 00:06:33

I think the cape accord for us is about understanding that in our

00:06:34 --> 00:06:38

beautiful country in which we live, we also understand that we

00:06:38 --> 00:06:44

have the right to express our views, but we do not have the

00:06:44 --> 00:06:49

right to express those views whilst we incite hatred against

00:06:49 --> 00:06:50

anyone,

00:06:51 --> 00:06:56

if anybody, I think I've said it at this platform, if anybody spews

00:06:56 --> 00:07:04

hatred from this pulpit or from any pulpit, that person cannot be

00:07:04 --> 00:07:06

inspired by a Rahman.

00:07:07 --> 00:07:13

On the contrary, that person will be inspired by shaytaan, our

00:07:13 --> 00:07:19

beloved Nabi Muhammad Sallallahu, alayhi wa sallam had spoken about

00:07:19 --> 00:07:21

the emergence of the khawarij.

00:07:22 --> 00:07:28

He had foretold that they shall come among you, people whom, when

00:07:28 --> 00:07:32

you look at the way, how they perform salah, you will look at

00:07:32 --> 00:07:36

your own Salah in disdain and say, Allah, I should really brush up on

00:07:36 --> 00:07:41

my salah. When you look at how they fast, you will think about

00:07:41 --> 00:07:45

your own fast in real, insignificant terms. If you look

00:07:45 --> 00:07:47

at how they recite the Quran,

00:07:48 --> 00:07:51

you will think that you really need to be ashamed of how you

00:07:51 --> 00:07:52

butcher the Quran.

00:07:54 --> 00:07:55

But then Abu Salah Salem says

00:07:58 --> 00:08:00

that they would have left

00:08:01 --> 00:08:10

the fold of Islam like an arrow leaves its bow towards its target.

00:08:12 --> 00:08:17

So notwithstanding the way in which the appearances are then,

00:08:17 --> 00:08:21

abhisalaam had indicated that these people would have already

00:08:21 --> 00:08:25

left the fold of Islam. Now, these, in our history, were known

00:08:25 --> 00:08:31

as the khawarij. These were people that, for the most minute things,

00:08:31 --> 00:08:33

would declare others Kafir.

00:08:35 --> 00:08:39

These were the very people who then ultimately were responsible

00:08:39 --> 00:08:43

for the assassination of Sayyidina Ali Radi Allahu Taala

00:08:45 --> 00:08:51

and so Sayyidina Ali, famously, when the dispute between say NA

00:08:51 --> 00:08:57

Ali and Sayyidina muayya came to that point where the arbitration

00:08:57 --> 00:08:58

was Put forth,

00:08:59 --> 00:09:04

they then raised the slogan and said Al hakimill

00:09:06 --> 00:09:12

that the settlement of disputes shall not be done via arbitration,

00:09:12 --> 00:09:17

but it must be done in accordance with the law of Allah, because law

00:09:17 --> 00:09:19

and judgment belongs only to Allah

00:09:20 --> 00:09:24

with a sense of self righteousness, with a sense of

00:09:25 --> 00:09:33

a sense of arrogance, and also a sense of clear extremist ideas of

00:09:33 --> 00:09:35

their own understanding of the deen of Islam.

00:09:37 --> 00:09:40

Sin Ali's famous retort to that was colon Haq,

00:09:41 --> 00:09:42

you're all Do we have a

00:09:45 --> 00:09:50

that is a true word that is being spoken, but the intent behind it

00:09:50 --> 00:09:51

is battle.

00:09:53 --> 00:09:57

And so when we then find that we are being

00:09:59 --> 00:09:59

in.

00:10:00 --> 00:10:05

Excited towards hatred, towards hating the other, towards other

00:10:05 --> 00:10:10

rising and to looking at others in ways other than ways of dignity

00:10:10 --> 00:10:15

and respect, as had been mentioned before, then we need to become

00:10:15 --> 00:10:20

extremely, extremely cautious and ask questions.

00:10:22 --> 00:10:25

The reason why we believe the cape accord is important,

00:10:26 --> 00:10:31

again to the Sunnah of Allah is the entire Sharia.

00:10:33 --> 00:10:37

Every hukum in the Sharia is confirmed

00:10:39 --> 00:10:43

exclusively to secure the outcome of that hokum,

00:10:46 --> 00:10:51

the hokum wants to secure an outcome, or it wants in a positive

00:10:51 --> 00:10:56

way, or it wants to avert a potential scenario in a negative

00:10:56 --> 00:10:56

way.

00:10:58 --> 00:11:00

So therefore, we believe,

00:11:01 --> 00:11:09

we believe that sectarian speech, sectarian hatred, sectarian

00:11:11 --> 00:11:17

discourse of inciting and encouraging others to look

00:11:18 --> 00:11:25

differently at others with hatred, etc. Sectarianism is haram in

00:11:25 --> 00:11:31

Islam. Allah. Subhana Watani, in the Holy Quran, explains why that

00:11:31 --> 00:11:36

is the case, and that is that you shall, you shall self destruct.

00:11:36 --> 00:11:40

You shall self destruct. Many places in the Holy Quran, maybe

00:11:40 --> 00:11:44

just to quote the hadith of Ibn Masood in the collection of Imam

00:11:44 --> 00:11:49

Al Bukhari and Abu Sala Salem says, Let the telephone

00:11:50 --> 00:11:52

for in naman Khan ako Bala Kum,

00:11:53 --> 00:11:55

a telephone

00:11:56 --> 00:12:03

Don't fall into factionalism. Don't fall into disputes of rancor

00:12:03 --> 00:12:07

and hatred and factionalism among yourselves, because those who have

00:12:07 --> 00:12:12

gone before you fell into such disputes and they perished and

00:12:12 --> 00:12:13

self destructed.

00:12:14 --> 00:12:19

May Allah accept this endeavor and initiative to be one which,

00:12:19 --> 00:12:23

inshallah reaches the hearts of human beings and reaches in the

00:12:23 --> 00:12:29

depths of our hearts to bring out our humanity and so that our faith

00:12:29 --> 00:12:34

can be expressed on the platform of our humanity. Inshallah,

00:12:34 --> 00:12:35

shukran Abu.
