00:03:57 --> 00:04:01
			and be in his houses in these massages.
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:07
			But this event
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:11
			today of the opening of the massager
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:14
			has been overshadowed
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:18
			by that gruesome
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:21
			terrorist attack
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:24
			on a Muslim family
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:26
			in London, Ontario.
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:30
			And so as Today we gather here
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:35
			happy there is a community who is in grief.
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:40
			And so my dear brothers and sisters
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:45
			that family that was more down
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:53
			in the way that it was. They were killed and targeted for no other reason.
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:56
			than their Eman under Islam.
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			Why man oh come on in whom you
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:02
			Mino Villa Hill icwsm Hemi,
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:06
			they didn't have resentment for them hatred for them.
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:12
			Except because they believed in Allah subhanahu wa Tada.
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:21
			And so my dear brothers and sisters, we are reminded once again, about the reality of the world that
we live in,
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:24
			of how this hatred
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:33
			for Islam and the Muslims, it runs deep in society, and how this event
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:37
			is not an isolated incident.
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:41
			That wasn't a lone wolf.
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:44
			But rather,
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:54
			it is another example of numerous examples of how Muslims are being targeted.
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:57
			And the worst part of it,
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:08
			how they are being targeted. And these attacks are being more and more common, and then how the
perpetrators
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:13
			are not being dealt with in the way that they should be.
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:17
			My dear brothers and sisters
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:23
			this hatred for Islam and Muslims,
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:25
			it runs deep.
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:32
			For the better till above all mean as well, he doesn't want to feel sudo, Rohan Akbar
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:42
			this hatred that they have, has only appeared in the form of words.
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:45
			And what they hide
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:51
			in their hearts is far worse. Let us not be deceived
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:54
			by the politicians
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:57
			who we hear today
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:02
			trying to assure us
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:06
			that this isn't Canada
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:10
			that this isn't who we are.
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:15
			That these are isolated incidents?
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:22
			No, rather this is what Canada is about. Have we forgotten?
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:26
			Have we forgotten
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:30
			about how recently they discovered
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:35
			the 215 bodies of those indigenous children?
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:41
			Have we forgotten
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:46
			that the previous prime minister of this country
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:52
			would target Islam and Muslims trying to ban the niqab?
		
00:07:55 --> 00:08:06
			passing laws specifically targeting the Muslim community. Have we forgotten that the current Prime
Minister sided with that
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:15
			terrorist Zionist regime of Israel saying that we are with you, we are your ally.
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:20
			When it is that same Zionist state,
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:28
			that is the embodiment of racism and Islamophobia in our world today,
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:35
			my dear brothers and sisters, it is these government policies
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:38
			and the media that backs them.
		
00:08:41 --> 00:09:00
			That is the root cause of Islamophobia. There is a root cause that is fueling this hatred for Islam
and Muslims. Don't let us be fooled by these politicians who come and tell us that Islamophobia is
real.
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:09
			And then they do nothing about it. They do they do nothing to address the root causes.
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:17
			Don't let us be fooled. When these attacks, they take place and then
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:36
			they offer lip service without taking any solid action to treat the problem at the government level
as well as at the judicial level. And so we have example upon example
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:41
			of how when the perpetrators are Muslims.
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:54
			We find a harsh response by the government by the media by the judicial system that passes severe
and harsh,
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:59
			severe and harsh sentences to criminalize a Muslim
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:02
			But then when it comes
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:12
			to the perpetrators, who are non Muslims who attack our Muslim brothers and sisters, we find
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:16
			how likely the problem is dealt with.
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:25
			And so soon after this attack, we heard in the news, how this
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:29
			how the attacker has a mental issue
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:33
			starting to give him excuse after excuse.
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:37
			It was only a few months ago
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:41
			that that terrorist attacker
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:46
			who entered that Masjid in Quebec City a few years ago,
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:53
			and killed our brothers and sisters, it was only a few months ago
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:56
			that His sentence was reduced.
		
00:10:58 --> 00:10:59
			Example upon example.
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:03
			And then when Muslims are attack.
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:15
			When Muslims are attacked the judicial system it gives them fever. We have example upon example.
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:30
			That brother uses a query who was killed at the hands of prison guards. They were let off. Until
today, his family is seeking justice.
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:37
			It was only a few days ago, after the London attacks
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:44
			that a Muslim who was killed
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:46
			his attackers
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:52
			only a few days ago, his attackers were found not guilty.
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:56
			This was the case of a young Muslim man
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:04
			who came to defend an elderly person outside of a masjid in Hamilton
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:06
			a few years ago.
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:15
			And he was shot and when the paramedics arrived, they didn't give him the medical attention that he
needed. And so he passed away.
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:18
			And so a few days ago,
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:22
			the criminal who killed him he was telling me
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:26
			how many examples do we have to mention
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:31
			of how Islamophobia
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:43
			it runs deep and it is systematic. It runs deep at the government level at the judicial level. And
then it is fueled and backed
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:44
			by the media.
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:50
			And then we wonder why we wonder why
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:55
			we wonder why the response is so shallow
		
00:12:57 --> 00:13:13
			BarakAllahu li Walakum filter and a whim whatever anyway your convenience female it would be a team
appointment. Still feel what have you what a commodity sir 11 cyminum couldn't even be more hubiera
for still fugu in Nauvoo wonderful rocking.
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:39
			hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa sallahu wa FIBA to limit takim whenever they wanna holla volley mean
What should I do?
		
00:13:40 --> 00:14:06
			ilaha illallah wa Shuddha who la sharika What should I do? I know Muhammad Abdul who Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wa ala alihi wa sahbihi woman Ted young be sending your Midian and never had
fucked up a law. How are you? The law he helped Taqwa we're all people who disagree when natural
law. Yeah, you handled it in a tug of war. I will tell you
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:15
			what the law in the law has to do with the meta Maroon. My dear brothers and sisters.
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:18
			As we reflect
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:25
			over the family that was killed a few days ago
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:30
			we come to the realization
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:35
			that that could have been
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:38
			any one of us
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:41
			walking down the street
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:45
			being targeted and attacked in the way that they were.
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:49
			And so my dear brothers and sisters
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:54
			a message that I want
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:57
			for us to reflect over
		
00:14:59 --> 00:14:59
			is that
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:05
			We should not allow such events to deter us.
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:08
			From our
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:12
			commitment to the dean,
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:14
			from our
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:17
			practice of the dean,
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:29
			from showing publicly who we are, because the reality is that such events will make many of us,
especially our younger ones,
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:34
			to want to take a walk, to want to take off their hijab
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:50
			to brothers to shave their beards, not to show that they are Muslims, but rather, to fit in, to want
to fit into the society and not to stand out. Why because no one wants to be targeted.
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:53
			No one wants
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:55
			to feel
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:58
			like they are being targeted.
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:01
			And they are being hated on
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:07
			and so let us not to allow such events
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:11
			to take away our pride
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:18
			of this Islam that Allah subhanahu what Allah has given to us, let us remember
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:22
			that the agenda of the enemies of Islam
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:30
			is exactly that. What to look for Runa Khanna Kufa, Rue feta Kunis
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:54
			they wish that you will disbelieved just like they disbelieved. So that what, so that you all become
equal, so that you all become the same. Allah has distinguished me and you with this Islam, we
should take pride in it, and not give it up. Go in the public.
		
00:16:55 --> 00:17:09
			Take pride in your commitment, and your practice of Islam, with confidence with courage, while at
the same time taking your guard and being vigilant.
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:27
			While at the same time, not becoming paranoid, not becoming afraid. Why because no one can harm you.
As long as Allah subhanahu wa taala is with you. And when is Allah with you,
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:30
			as long as you are with Allah subhana who
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:35
			remember Allah and Allah will remember you.
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:37
			Remember,
		
00:17:39 --> 00:18:05
			remember, to constantly keep Allah subhanahu wa taala you in your heart and on your tongue at all
times, when you leave home, when you are outside. Hasta buena Allahu wa QID these words, Allah is
sufficient for us. And he is our guardian. These were the words that were uttered by each and every
single prophet and messenger of ALLAH SubhanA, who went to Allah.
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:15
			Allah subhanho wa Taala is with us, he is sufficient for us. We don't need anyone else, as long as
he is our guardian.
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:19
			My dear brothers and sisters, finally,
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:24
			we need to keep the pressure up.
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:27
			And so after these attacks,
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:33
			we found that the Muslim community took steps
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:35
			to call
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:39
			on all government bodies,
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:50
			to take active steps to address the issue of Islamophobia. And so we need to keep that pressure up
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:58
			and stand with the Muslim organizations who are taking a leading effort in this regard
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:13
			for the government to take responsibility to address this issue, and to take the responsibility to
safeguard the Muslims and our Islamic institutions. And so
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:27
			enough with the words and the lip service, we need them to take action. Why is it that these events,
they repeat one after the other?
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:33
			We would have thought that after the attack in Quebec City a few years ago,
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:54
			that that would have been the last but why is it that these events are constantly repeating
themselves? It's because the root cause has not been addressed. And it's because the system it
protects these criminals they know.
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:59
			They know that they will be let off easily
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:09
			So long as they are led off easily, then they dear commit these acts. On the other hand,
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:11
			just one example.
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:16
			If something is said against the Jews,
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:20
			we have laws protecting them.
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:25
			And so even valid criticism
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:29
			of the State of Israel, for example,
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:34
			is looked at as being anti semitic
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:38
			and valid criticism of Jews. If,
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:52
			if they commit wrong, it is looked at as being anti semitic, and you have lost protecting them. Why
is it that we don't have equal treatment for us Muslims?
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:56
			It's all the pressure needs to be kept up.
		
00:20:58 --> 00:21:11
			And let us remember. Finally, in conclusion, let us remember that although we will stand up for our
rights, and we need to prove we need to push the government to take action,
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:18
			we need to remember that our response and our calls for justice,
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:28
			they need to be in line with Islamic teachings. And so one of the problems that we find
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:35
			our Muslim community in one of the problems that we suffer from is
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:39
			that we look at others.
		
00:21:42 --> 00:21:46
			And living here in the West, we have adopted many of their ways.
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:50
			So we need to be mindful
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:54
			that we don't adopt certain ways
		
00:21:55 --> 00:22:03
			that are an Islamic. Why because Allah subhanahu wata Hana has given us a complete way of life, our
deen
		
00:22:04 --> 00:22:16
			that addresses each and every single problem. And Allah subhana who went to Allah and his messenger
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam have outlined how to address each and every single issue and each and
every single problem.
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:18
			And so
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:25
			candlelight vigils are not from our waves
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:28
			demonstrating
		
00:22:29 --> 00:22:31
			in the way hooligans demonstrate,
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:40
			yelling and shouting, this is not from our waves, and so on and so forth. We ask Allah subhanahu wa
Tada
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:43
			to have mercy
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:46
			upon that family
		
00:22:47 --> 00:22:57
			that was killed, we ask Allah subhanahu wa taala to shower His mercy upon them to forgive their
sins. We ask Allah subhanho wa Taala
		
00:22:58 --> 00:23:04
			to have mercy upon the son that was injured. We asked Allah subhanahu wa Tahara
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:37
			to be with him in this life and in the next hour there was on Lois Lemo Mala. I don't know if you
