The natural laws of Islam apply to everything, including religion, religion, and human beings, and the importance of acceptance of the differences and the arbitration process to ensure the law is in line with the law. The importance of protecting the country is emphasized, but the right to express views is not the right to do so. The cape accord is about protecting the country, but the right to express views is not the right to do so.

00:00:00 --> 00:00:13
			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.
