my dear brothers and sisters

00:03:39--> 00:03:41

we gathered here today

00:03:42--> 00:03:43

once again

00:03:45--> 00:03:46

joyful happy

00:03:47--> 00:03:49

that Allah subhanahu wa Tada

00:03:51--> 00:03:56

has allowed us to once again congregate

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

00:13:40--> 00:14:06

I know Muhammad Abdul who Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa ala alihi wa sahbihi woman Ted young be sending your Midian and never had *ed 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 can Mohammed bin Abdullah Khanna a Moroccan betta Ricardo buco gel of euro for Katakolon, Terry Karima in Allah wa mela Iike hudl saloon Allah Nabi yeah you have already sold Valley he was a limit as a lot more sort of yourself a mother Erica, maybe you know what Allah Allahu manhood if you are a bit cleaner and moreover, men are how you answer it has to have at the edge of
