The recent protests in India have caused harm to communities and have been stripped of students, including those born with Islam. The "weird state" of hip hop is also discussed, with some experiencing strict treatment of Muslims in China. The "we are not your" movement has resulted in strict treatment of Muslims in China, but "we are not your" movement has resulted in the strict treatment of Muslims in China. The "we are not your" movement has caused the loss of the church's deen and the humiliation of the Muslims, leading to a return to their de safely and a loss of victory to their believing slaves.

Yeah, you

00:01:05--> 00:01:06

Yeah, you

while

warming up rasuluh circa 1000 avina another

00:01:31--> 00:01:33

My dear brothers and sisters

00:01:35--> 00:01:37

not too long ago

00:01:40--> 00:01:41

a group of people got together

00:01:46--> 00:01:49

and summons others inviting others

00:01:51--> 00:01:51

to a feast

00:01:53--> 00:01:55

saying Come, come,

00:01:56--> 00:02:00

come and join us

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

in this dish of food

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

and so they came

00:02:07--> 00:02:08

sitting around

00:02:10--> 00:02:12

looking at that delicious food

00:02:14--> 00:02:15

each one

00:02:16--> 00:02:17

taking from it

00:02:19--> 00:02:21

what satisfies him or her?

00:02:23--> 00:02:25

My dear brothers and sisters.

00:02:29--> 00:02:30

This event

00:02:32--> 00:02:36

is something that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam prophesied

00:02:37--> 00:02:39

1400 years ago years ago

00:02:42--> 00:02:44

and so in the habit of so bear with the Allahu

00:02:47--> 00:02:48

he says,

00:02:49--> 00:02:52

that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said,

00:02:54--> 00:02:55

you should

00:02:56--> 00:02:57

you should

00:03:04--> 00:03:07

come on today to Allah casati

00:03:10--> 00:03:12

he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said

00:03:13--> 00:03:14

that the nation,

00:03:16--> 00:03:19

the civilization, the states of the world

00:03:21--> 00:03:23

are soon to summon one another

00:03:25--> 00:03:26

to attack you attack you.

00:03:28--> 00:03:29

And then he explained how

00:03:30--> 00:03:31

he said

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

late people

00:03:36--> 00:03:40

who are sitting around, about to eat and they invite others.

00:03:41--> 00:03:44

They invite others to share their dish.

00:03:47--> 00:03:51

And so some of the companions they asked the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam

00:03:53--> 00:03:54

woman in

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

will it be because

00:04:00--> 00:04:04

of our small, low numbers at that time.

00:04:06--> 00:04:10

So, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam replied and said

00:04:11--> 00:04:13

Cathy young

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

what I

00:04:23--> 00:04:24

what I enjoy

00:04:28--> 00:04:28

what

00:04:31--> 00:04:31

I do?

00:04:37--> 00:04:38

What I have to defend, you know,

00:04:43--> 00:04:51

the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam replied and said, No, no, no, you won't be small in number on that day.

00:04:53--> 00:04:55

But rather you will be many, many.

00:04:57--> 00:04:59

Your numbers will be many, many

00:05:00--> 00:05:02

Your population will be high.

00:05:03--> 00:05:04

But you will be

00:05:05--> 00:05:08

like this comes the rubbish

00:05:09--> 00:05:11

that covers

00:05:12--> 00:05:13

floodwater

00:05:15--> 00:05:17

and then he still along with it

00:05:20--> 00:05:22

and the loss of kind of which

00:05:25--> 00:05:27

will take away

00:05:28--> 00:05:32

fear of you from the hearts of your enemy.

00:05:35--> 00:05:37

And then he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says,

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

and a loss

00:05:42--> 00:05:43

will cast

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

into your heart. So, the companions they asked the Prophet sallallahu

00:05:52--> 00:05:53

Yasuda

00:05:55--> 00:05:58

Ole Miss messenger of Allah, what is this one?

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

So, he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he explained it

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

in the Arabic language basically means weakness.

00:06:08--> 00:06:13

What is this weakness, messenger of Allah, He sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said,

00:06:18--> 00:06:19

it is your love,

00:06:20--> 00:06:23

your attachment for the dounia.

00:06:24--> 00:06:40

And at the same time, your fear of death, your fear of death, my dear brothers and sisters, this pretty much sums up the state of Alabama today.

00:06:42--> 00:06:45

And so, my dear brothers and sisters this past week,

00:06:46--> 00:06:49

we saw many protests in India.

00:06:51--> 00:06:53

Muslims protesting a bill

00:06:55--> 00:07:04

that was basically aimed at stripping hundreds and 1000s and millions of Muslims from their citizenship

00:07:06--> 00:07:09

and their right to live as citizens in India,

00:07:10--> 00:07:30

while granting non Muslim refugees who come from outside of India, who belong to other religions, Hindus, Christians, Sikhs, whatever it may be giving them an exception, granting them citizenship. But whoever cannot prove their citizenship, if they happen to be Muslim,

00:07:32--> 00:07:34

then we stripped them of that.

00:07:35--> 00:07:36

Not only that,

00:07:37--> 00:07:38

but a few months ago,

00:07:40--> 00:07:41

they started building a

00:07:42--> 00:07:43

detention camp.

00:07:44--> 00:07:46

Similar to the camp

00:07:47--> 00:07:49

that we are hearing about in China.

00:07:51--> 00:08:00

They are building these camps in India, to how these millions of Muslims who have been stripped stripped of their students,

00:08:01--> 00:08:03

my dear brothers and sisters,

00:08:04--> 00:08:05

this only happened

00:08:07--> 00:08:11

after this anti muslim Indian Government saw

00:08:12--> 00:08:13

their neighboring country

00:08:15--> 00:08:25

and how they are free to do the same to their Muslim population in China, China, in Burma,

00:08:26--> 00:08:29

and yet, they're able to get away with

00:08:31--> 00:08:32

it is this humiliation

00:08:34--> 00:08:36

and weakness of the Muslims

00:08:37--> 00:08:41

that no enemies of Islam are taking advantage of today.

00:08:44--> 00:08:48

And so they're attacking us. They're taking away our rights and our freedom.

00:08:50--> 00:08:52

While the world is silent,

00:08:53--> 00:08:55

and more so the Muslim world

00:08:56--> 00:08:59

those Muslim countries are able to do something and yet they're

00:09:01--> 00:09:05

not doing a single thing single thing. My dear brothers and sisters.

00:09:07--> 00:09:10

It was also a few months ago, that the same

00:09:11--> 00:09:13

anti Islamic Indian Government

00:09:15--> 00:09:16

continued the plight

00:09:18--> 00:09:20

of our Muslim brothers and sisters in Kashmir,

00:09:22--> 00:09:23

stripping them

00:09:24--> 00:09:25

of their autonomy

00:09:27--> 00:09:37

and making Kashmir just like another Indian state. Although it is a state that is occupied by my dear brothers and sisters.

00:09:40--> 00:09:45

This is nothing new, nothing new. But rather,

00:09:46--> 00:09:49

it is part of a cycle of a cycle that continues.

00:09:50--> 00:09:54

That started decades ago rather, centuries ago

00:09:55--> 00:09:57

when the enemies of Islam saw

00:09:58--> 00:10:00

the weakness of

00:10:02--> 00:10:04

When they saw our humiliation,

00:10:06--> 00:10:09

and our weakness, and so they took advantage of that.

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

They saw our inability to defend ourselves.

00:10:14--> 00:10:22

They saw one thing common, and that was that we had become distanced from our dealer.

00:10:24--> 00:10:27

We had become distanced from our dealer

00:10:28--> 00:10:31

and the book was sent to us.

00:10:33--> 00:10:48

So we became weekend. And so they attacked us colonizing our land, stealing our wealth and our resources, dividing us into small nations and states and then making sure

00:10:50--> 00:10:50

that

00:10:51--> 00:10:59

we do not return back to our Deen because they knew that that is the source of our power our minds

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

and our glory.

00:11:03--> 00:11:04

barakallahu li

00:11:08--> 00:11:09

what jacobina

00:11:11--> 00:11:13

Hakeem aku Kohli has

00:11:16--> 00:11:17

while he said he didn't

00:11:21--> 00:11:22

know

00:11:23--> 00:11:24

what to do

00:11:45--> 00:11:47

hamdu Lillahi Rabbil alameen

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

wa ala

00:11:54--> 00:11:55

Hello Pauline.

00:11:57--> 00:11:59

Wash, Ella, Ella.

00:12:04--> 00:12:11

Mohammedan rasuluh sallallahu alayhi wa ala alihi wa sahbihi.

00:12:23--> 00:12:24

Wa rasuluh.

00:12:25--> 00:12:26

Mini.

00:12:28--> 00:12:29

My dear brothers and sisters.

00:12:31--> 00:12:34

This is a state of our own

00:12:35--> 00:12:36

a state of weakness,

00:12:37--> 00:12:40

a state a state of humiliation.

00:12:41--> 00:12:43

That is not something

00:12:44--> 00:12:46

unknown to any Muslim today.

00:12:48--> 00:12:50

And it's a cycle that repeats itself.

00:12:51--> 00:12:53

And so, the question that many

00:12:54--> 00:12:55

is what is the solution?

00:12:56--> 00:12:58

What is the way out for our own?

00:13:00--> 00:13:04

What is the weight of this week's state of humiliation?

00:13:06--> 00:13:07

My dear brothers and sisters

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

The solution was mentioned by the prophet sallallahu.

00:13:18--> 00:13:19

And so, one example of that is

00:13:25--> 00:13:26

in which he says

00:13:29--> 00:13:30

he was

00:13:32--> 00:13:32

either

00:13:41--> 00:13:41

What are we?

00:13:44--> 00:13:45

What are we?

00:13:47--> 00:13:47

What are rock

00:13:53--> 00:13:54

solid

00:13:57--> 00:13:58

lay on zero.

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

Raja

00:14:06--> 00:14:08

the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said

00:14:12--> 00:14:13

that when when

00:14:15--> 00:14:27

when you engage in aleena which is basically a type of forbidden transaction. It is basically an example of Riba

00:14:28--> 00:14:29

when you engage in that

00:14:31--> 00:14:33

and you follow for take hold

00:14:34--> 00:14:47

of the tale of cow and you are satisfied with agriculture, all of these are examples, but becoming attached and being satisfied with what we have

00:14:48--> 00:14:50

indulging in it and then

00:14:52--> 00:14:53

and on top of that,

00:14:54--> 00:14:55

you first say

00:14:59--> 00:14:59

that

00:15:00--> 00:15:01

When this happens

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

when this happens, Allah Subhana Allah will send upon you a humiliation

00:15:12--> 00:15:16

that he will not live with from you until

00:15:17--> 00:15:21

until you return to your

00:15:22--> 00:15:45

and so my dear brothers and sisters, the cause of how our humiliation is the fact that we have abandoned our Deen look at the Muslim Ummah today and look at how far and distant we are as an owner, from the deen of Allah subhanho wa Taala. And that is enough is enough, there is sufficient

00:15:46--> 00:15:50

of a reason for why we are in the state that we are in today.

00:15:51--> 00:15:52

On top of that,

00:15:55--> 00:16:00

there that we have not only engaged in the journey,

00:16:01--> 00:16:03

but have become attached to it

00:16:04--> 00:16:05

such that

00:16:07--> 00:16:08

we can never give it up.

00:16:09--> 00:16:12

And this is something that was kind of what Allah warned us from

00:16:14--> 00:16:16

adding more than one place in the Quran.

00:16:17--> 00:16:18

Allah subhanho wa Taala

00:16:19--> 00:16:32

becoming attached to dunya and abandoning firing in his car. What's the link between the two between the two philosophies kind of what Allah says yeah, you

00:16:35--> 00:16:35

know,

00:16:43--> 00:16:44

what is the matter with

00:16:45--> 00:16:47

this is a loss of addressing

00:16:50--> 00:16:53

Oh, you who believe? What is the matter with you

00:16:55--> 00:17:01

that when that when the call is me, March 4 in the in the cause of the law.

00:17:03--> 00:17:04

It's occurred to me

00:17:05--> 00:17:10

that when this call is made, to set out and march in the path of a law,

00:17:11--> 00:17:12

that you that you

00:17:14--> 00:17:14

remain

00:17:15--> 00:17:20

attached to the earth, you remain attached to your dunya

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

and then

00:17:23--> 00:17:24

bill hayati dunia

00:17:27--> 00:17:31

Are you satisfied with this worldly life.

00:17:34--> 00:17:34

And then

00:17:38--> 00:17:40

he declared the reality

00:17:41--> 00:17:43

of the dunya compared to the

00:17:49--> 00:17:50

the reality

00:17:51--> 00:17:55

of this worldly life that you have become attached to

00:17:56--> 00:18:09

is nothing but small as compared to this thing that you are attached to, it's temporary, it's soon going to come to an end, as compared to the athlete that is everlasting.

00:18:10--> 00:18:12

And so my dear brothers and sisters,

00:18:14--> 00:18:15

or people

00:18:16--> 00:18:18

who are attached to decide

00:18:20--> 00:18:21

to go out

00:18:23--> 00:18:24

and give up

00:18:26--> 00:18:28

because that is the essence

00:18:29--> 00:18:29

of

00:18:30--> 00:18:33

the law. That is the essence

00:18:34--> 00:18:36

of fighting the cause of a watch.

00:18:38--> 00:18:46

No matter which kind of jihad it is, including defending the honor of the Muslims and their land.

00:18:48--> 00:18:52

And so, when this call is mean, people

00:18:53--> 00:18:54

they drop out under

00:18:55--> 00:18:56

and they remember

00:18:57--> 00:18:59

that this

00:19:01--> 00:19:02

is what I am attached to.

00:19:03--> 00:19:06

And if I leave it, then I will lose it.

00:19:07--> 00:19:15

And that's what causes them to refrain from marching forward as Allah subhanho wa Taala mentioned in this.

00:19:16--> 00:19:19

And so Allah Subhana which Allah He says,

00:19:21--> 00:19:24

and so, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he told us

00:19:25--> 00:19:27

that the solution is,

00:19:29--> 00:19:30

it is

00:19:31--> 00:19:36

in abandoning this dunya or becoming less attached to it

00:19:37--> 00:19:39

and becoming more attached to the asset

00:19:40--> 00:19:43

as the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam mentioned,

00:19:44--> 00:19:48

what is this what is what is this humiliation and his weakness? It is

00:19:50--> 00:19:50

Kokoro here

00:19:52--> 00:19:54

it is his love for the dunya

00:19:55--> 00:20:00

and disliked for death, because that is the essence of giving us

00:20:00--> 00:20:00

dounia

00:20:01--> 00:20:02

when a person

00:20:04--> 00:20:26

he goes, and he marks for answering the call of a loss of kind of who he is, he is basically announcing that He has given his life for a loss of kindness. So he doesn't hate death. He does not dislike the death, death, but rather, he wants. But for what, for the sake of a lawsuit.

00:20:27--> 00:20:31

And the second solution is to return back to our de

00:20:32--> 00:20:34

todo de Rue de la de,

00:20:35--> 00:20:44

until you return to religion, this humiliation will never be lifted from you. And so my dear brothers and sisters,

00:20:46--> 00:20:49

the ball is basically in our hand.

00:20:52--> 00:20:58

And the solution is in our house. In no law, hello, you

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

had

00:21:02--> 00:21:11

to see him, we hear this D in D O, Allah subhanho wa Taala will never change the condition of a people until,

00:21:13--> 00:21:17

until they themselves change their own conditions.

00:21:18--> 00:21:32

day in day out, we hear that the solution is in going back to Rd. in going back to the fundamentals. And so that's where it starts, my dear brother.

00:21:33--> 00:21:51

It's not complicated. It's a simple solution, you return back to your dean, holding on to your dean, in every aspect of life, as individuals, as societies and groups. As long as you do that, then the promise of a wasp

00:21:53--> 00:22:15

is to grant you victory, and to lift this humiliation from you and to put back the fear of us back in the heart of our enemy, the fear that they had of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam and his companions, that before he even reached the battlefield,

00:22:16--> 00:22:18

that fear was cast into their heart.

00:22:24--> 00:22:25

So we asked him

00:22:28--> 00:22:29

to bring this book

00:22:31--> 00:22:32

that

00:22:33--> 00:22:34

we asked

00:22:35--> 00:22:39

to lift this weakness and this humiliation

00:22:40--> 00:22:45

from the Muslims around the world. We ask Allah Subhana who wants

00:22:46--> 00:23:01

to protect and preserve the Muslims wherever they be, and to protect their honor and to protect their wealth. We ask Allah Subhana Allah to grant victory to his believing slaves. We ask Allah subhana wa tada

00:23:02--> 00:23:07

to forgive us and to forgive them their sins and our shortcomings.

00:23:09--> 00:23:10
