A very sensitive subject.

And it's a contemporary one in nature,

the subject of extremism,

religious extremism.

We know,

of ISIS, we know of these groups out there.

And this particular phenomenon somehow affects us here

in the United States, and the minority of Muslims living here.

And a lot of you find yourselves

between heart and rock, some of you actually assume that these groups are doing benefit to Islam, and you should be supportive of them. And at the same time, you see the danger yourself exposed to or presented with, because of these practices.

inshallah, I'm going to try to present the subject from a theology point of view.

What is extremism, and the religion means and so forth. First of all, brothers and sisters in Islam,

extremism, and this is a misconception that I must remove from the minds hearts and souls of those who are here and those who are listening and watching to us.

extremism is to cross the boundaries

whether going above and beyond what you're asked to do,

or falling short.

Both

because unfortunately, right now, someone who prays five times a day is an extremist,

a sister who wears her hijab, or she decides to go one step farther, and we understand the ruling on niqab. It is recommended. It's her freedom, but she decided to do it.

She's an extremist.

A brother who grows his beard

is an extremist.

That's the unfortunate fact right now.

Meanwhile, we abandon

or we are forgetful

of those who fall short into the religion that they are also extremist.

Our extremism is to cross the boundaries, whether to the far right or whether to the far left. The religion of Islam is balanced, middle path in the middle, and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam told us this.

During his time sallallahu wasallam will have ala Muslim men Hadith and Asad nomadic raffia lavon.

three individuals came in order to ask about the manner of the worship of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.

And as if they thought, imagine now that Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is not doing enough.

And they feel like that's an awful statement to say about the Messenger of Allah. And then they try to justify it by saying, Listen, he's not doing enough because Allah subhanho wa Taala has forgiven his future and past sins.

The

Words of these three individuals reach the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.

But what God the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam so upset that they have actually developed

an extremist approach to Islam. On the basis of that, one of them said, I will fast every single day.

The other one said, I will pray all night long every night.

And the third one said, families, wife and children, no to that.

I will become among

someone who gives up

family life, the lava solemn, cold all the oma

and he got in the boat.

And he said, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, I have heard what these three individuals have said.

And by Allah, I am the most knowledgeable of you of who Allah is. And I'm the most fearful of Allah. But I conduct a balanced life. I fast and I break fast.

I pray at night, and I sleep at night.

And I marry and I have family and this is my way till cashew nut. This is my religion. Sooner here means religion.

And we'll ever divert from this

is an extremist.

He is not my follower.

Just to show you.

At one time the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam when he was performing his farewell had

he sent up the wife, who was a little boy to bring him couples Jumblatt

in order to stone

in the morning, the night The film was delivered

for blind now best like a lot of Muslims would do now. He went and collected rocks. Like people say I'm gonna be the sheriff on tomorrow.

The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam looked at it and he said, yaku This is being extremist. Go and bring me that size and he showed him the size of chickpeas.

smalls is like that.

The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam one day saw one of his wives.

Hanging a robe in the machine.

He asked why she's doing that. She said that. When she gets tired, she still want to pray.

So she wanna hold on to that rule.

The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, remove it. For you suddenly, a Hakuna Shah. You probably if you feel we're talking about voelen Henry Salas. We're not talking about the five daily prayers. Be careful here for extremism even existed, brothers and sisters in Islam in the previous nations before us, and Allah subhanho wa Taala spoke of it and the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam spoke of it. Allah says in Surah Nisa, people of the book,

Jews and Christians do not exaggerate regarding the status

of certain people in your religion.

Do not exaggerate in your religion, but we know they have given Prophet Jesus peace be upon him a status above his messenger ship.

The Jews as well have given as Hosea is also a status above his messenger ship.

And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam warned us against this. Do not praise me, do not

treat me the way the Christians really embrace Jesus peace be upon him.

rather say about me, I'm the Messenger of Allah, and his sleep for exertion, exaggeration or extremism existed. But again, extremism

includes both sides

falling short, or crossing beyond the boundaries of the comments. Muslims who do not pray five times a day.

And you ask them why you're not praying.

He says Allah is in my heart. My heart is wide. Every culture develops its own language, in order not to pray.

That's being negligent, that's extremism.

You must pray five times a day, as a Muslim,

you have no choice if you want to submit to Allah subhanho wa Taala. And neglecting that equals to someone of the tribe of the three individuals who came to the house of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam very quickly.

My brothers and sisters in Islam.

What are but of course, in this particular setting, I'm sure you're all interested in finding out about the far left, not the far right.

the far left, even though in my opinion, the far right are more dangerous.

Because this is cancer, that walks into the room and

people actually would adopt this methodology and they don't know it.

And speaking of stories, I'll have to tell you this one

I'll never forget.

I was leading the salon Salatu, late one year in Washington, DC.

We know that there is a variation between Belgium who

the fuqaha the Judas regarding the number of tech VLANs. The common one that we'll use two is seven in the first Raka and five in the second round. That you see a lot of work but seven times the first Raka the second Raka you say it five times, but laugh enough.

The full words those who are dedicated to the school of thought of Lima de hanifa Rahim Allah they have other numbers.

eyelid Salatu Li then after the Salah, you normally the Imam stands after the hotbar and he ate Mubarak ate Mubarak. Mubarak.

So this brother approached me min Akela

he actually said it in Arabic. I don't know how did he know?

He basically is trying to say I complain to Allah about you again.

Brother What's happening?

What's going on?

said You messed up the only solo I observe every

brother is a Muslim.

But

this is what we call our young people.

You know, Allah is Forgiving it. That's that's extremism right there. And that is more dangerous. Actually, this is the trend in the oma, I want to tell you for left are very easy to distinguish. We stand here and we say that approach of izes that approach of the liking of ISIS is wrong. Because it's crystal clear. It doesn't even make any sense to anybody. But these other ones, very dangerous because they creep into our lives. And we end up adopting this. But let's get to the point What are the symptoms of being a foreigner in Islam, being fanatic in Islam?

Number one, admiring yourself.

admiring your worship,

admiring your acts

Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, when he described

the first seed of extremism that happened during his time.

Imagine this one day, he was distributing a piece of gold.

And the Prophet sallallahu wasallam Berryfields.

Those who accepted Islam recently, after the conquest of Mecca, those who reverted to Islam

in order to make them love the religion, I don't know if you know this or not.

When we pay the cattle man, imagine out of the eight places with please the calculon Allah, Allah Allah tupu the people who accepted Islam recently, give them let them live their religion.

So Rasul sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was

Knowing that this man abroad the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and he said be fair because you will not feel

because he was deprived.

The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, this is the seed of extremism in my own mind.

And you know, they will despise

your worship compared to their worship, they will admire themselves. So a person who is extremist, normally he's in a state of admiration of himself, Alabama katabi, one of the early schoolers in this oma, he said about this hadith. And if the memory Bukhari and Muslim

men call a HELOC and nan sufa, who lukou

Futaba laka, whom,

if you stand and you say, Man, people are them, Muslims are cursed, because they are not good. Muslims are not good.

Why would you say that about your Muslim brothers and sisters, unless you're admiring yourself.

So that's the first sign

a Muslim who is moderate should be down because at the end of the day, brothers and sisters in Islam, none of us has a guarantee or a guaranteed end with Allah subhanho wa Taala

was the tsunami, the

two brothers,

they used to meet one another every now and then one of them is so righteous.

And the other one was wishy washy off and on with the religion.

And the Righteous One would come and give him naseeha.

So he came to visit him, he found him sinning, committing a sin right there in front of his eyes. You know what he said to him? Well, law, law, federal law who

he said to his brother By Allah, Allah will never forgive you. Allah will not forgive you. Allah subhana wa Taala revealed to the Prophet at the time. This was in Benyus raw in

Manhattan, Livia Allah Allah who is taking off on me,

who decides who I should forgive and who I should not tell him that I have forgiven the sins of his brothers, his brother, what not to honor and whatever he has done is in vain now in the past, he needs to start yesterday filament let him re start working now.

For the believer, yes, what we need most to Bella Hadid about Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam entering gender before any Muslim before any creative v. Yet, he said by Allah, I don't know what Allah is gonna do with me.

over eight gates of gentlemen will be open for him.

Yet

he says if my feet is in gender, and the other one is not

makalah

Helen Keller an extremist is someone who is boastful of his

of his armor.

The second thing brothers and sisters in Islam and Canna brothers

should now we kinda given emphasis on this is making

a lot of the things that are permissible.

And that's the trend of people who are extremists something that is lawful, permissible, Allah made permissible

Why do you make it haram?

Why when Abdullayev not best, was sent to the date with

the liking of ISIS, if this is what who they are. He was a very nice government, good looking government.

For they looked at him and said what is going on with you? Are you are for the dunya

Why are you dressed like this? These are the extremists.

Why are we dressed like this? He said to them Pullman. hygroma Zenith Allahu la de la Vela.

Are you making this? I never read the text that it's Haram. That you look nice and clean and neat. And I have seen the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam way wearing a similar garment to this for you. You know you're making the life difficult. It's hard. It's bizarre. It's hard.

It's better. Listen.

I will call Rama, Rama.

Rama. Rama.

Haram is what Allah. Allah is what Allah made Helen, but the area of the permissible. Take, for example, something that gives us a very bad name.

And some of you may have heard about this or watch this in television. When I grew up in Afghanistan called Taliban. I don't know if they did it or not. They went about destroying the monuments. You heard about this?

That's extremism.

Rasul Salalah alayhi wa sallam within an authentic hadith that he passed by the

Buddha in his way back from the book.

He actually urged his companions move on don't sit there don't hang around he

also lost during the reign of former conquered Egypt and Egypt is filled if you go to Egypt, is all monuments and

and he left these things. Yeah, we took we learned from Omar when he took down the tree beneath which the companions giving the pledge on the day for the day. If that if the item is a fitna people are worshiping it. Yeah, you can do that. But these are history, pieces of history. Nobody said that. You have to do that. Again, brothers and sisters in Islam. I don't want to take a lot of time explaining this point because the brothers earlier made it crystal clear. But really to renounce or this this interest yourself in the dunya which is the concept of Islam. Which if Shanna, we spoke about before me, Lima Muhammad has a very profound statement that Listen, you have 1000 golden coins

dinar in your hand. You don't get upset, if it goes down. Goes lesser than that. Or you don't become happy. When it goes more than that. What increases? Yeah.

You just you don't care. That the dunya is in your hand, not in your heart.

But being extremists, that you go and make these things Haram. The third and the most dangerous of them all

is making tech fields,

labeling people to be able states that's very dangerous, and very, very serious. Trin brothers and sisters in Islam. And by the way, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam ala rasulillah han Houma.

If you tell someone you're a Catholic,

if he is not, then it bounces back to you.

Then you are

this is how dangerous, dangerous the statement is. That is why you have to be extremely careful with the subject of calling people of the states. Why? Because there are religious rulings that are tied to this. When you call someone a Catherine Palace,

you can divorce his wife, you can take away his money. You can pray janessa and you can bury him in a cemetery of Muslims. A whole set of religious rulings last

names and rulings they're called for you gotta be very careful. But brothers and sisters in Islam, I don't want you to assume that

the table in the middle path and sunan Gemma, we ask Allah that we'll have them you

do not make the film No, not Lucasfilm and conforama.

We label people to be this believer, but Allah.

Allah, La unrestrictedly.

I say whoever hears that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam came to convey the message of Islam, and he rejects it.

Knowingly yoke for whoever steps from the must have to humiliate the Muslims intentionally or

whoever walks around the grave and call upon the day is a Catholic, whoever,

but a certain individual No, you have to establish the evidence against that person. And you do this by work. Number one,

you will make sure that he knows what he's doing. Number two, you make sure that he is not doing this out of faulty interpretation. Number three, he is not forced to do this. You must remove the impediments

and establish the evidence. And you're supposed to leave this to the schools, not you.

But normally people and some of you may be amazed that he here in a country like weight or a country like Afghanistan or Pakistan or Egypt recently happened. 300 people were killed in Egypt in a mosque in a Masjid. While they are observing Juma.

Imagine this while they are praying Juma, who would do this? In his sound mind? This is actually someone who possesses that ideology in Islam, how dare you do it, they make general sec fear of the society how they say the ruler of this country doesn't rule according to the Sharia.

And Allah said in the Quran, whoever does not rule according to Sharia is a calf.

Even though if you look at the interpretation of this, there are different phases to that. Now, straight

abroad acid Khufu knockoff

of two types are more than one type.

So now, anyone who does not make fear of the curse, the citizens of the country are also cast.

So all of Egypt now our call for

that means the blood is low, I can go and blow them off. And I will go to

the that's the ideology that they have. Totally wrong.

Totally incorrect. That's what you call extremism. Why brothers and sisters in Islam, those people have this issue.

I kind of hinted to it in my first session, lack of knowledge, ignorance. And by the way, they tell you that there are two types of ignorance, one type symbol ignorance that you know that you don't know.

But there is a compound algebra that you actually don't know that you don't know. Or you don't know that you're wrong. Or you know, something that is wrong, and you don't know about it. Now I have to do remove and instill the correct thing in you. So Panama, I just want to tell you that during the time of foreigner with algebra, viola Han Yani, it was initiated earlier than this 5000 from his army went against him, and they call him Catholic. Imagine the cousin of the prophets, Allah Salah, the first youth who accepted Islam, they call them a cat.

Why?

Because he allowed people to rule. Meanwhile, the rulings belong to Allah regarding the issue of attacking him I don't want to get there.

And what else he fought is Sharia law one and he did not imprison her.

And number three,

he said he is not the Commander of the Faithful. I need four minutes to finish this. I have to finish this point. Otherwise, my talk will be

boom

I have to finish this.

I have to finish this my brother.

Otherwise I'm gonna become an extremist. Sit down.

That's what I'm sorry. I've just taken by the moment here.

Imagine a blind novice when and remove these misconceptions in one hour.

What's wrong with you guys? You're saying that Alibaba allowed people to rule.

You know, when a hedge he goes and he kills an animal? Hmm. Allah subhanho wa Taala allowed

a Mufti to say how much he should say, who should pay an expiation.

So what's wrong with that?

Now I shall have yellow one here is our mother. She is the wife of our messenger. And Allah Subhana Allah says in the Quran

She is the mother of God. Would you like him to do that? They said no.

Number three Rasul Allah is Allah Himself. In order to make peace. He actually removed the fact that he's Rasulullah the day for the baby. He said fairly wide. If this is gonna make you happy. I'm assuming that you know the answer

is gonna be happy and we're gonna conclude the piece on a sad life.

Why's he left? The amount of because of this for a shed brothers and sisters in Islam, those brothers and sisters who take that extremist approach in Islam, they are normally the most ignorant of the religion. I want to tell you something very interesting when our beloved novice went to debate with those people who went against Dalai Lama and they called him a Catholic. He looked at them and he said, Guys, I don't even see one single companion with the prophets of Allah.

What do you got? 5000 of them?

I don't see anyone who used to be a combat companions would

you guys think? Think

the knowledge that is why is a key these conferences

is extremely important to educate the community, especially the youth about this stuff. Another thing brothers and sisters in Islam is injustices in our societies. You know, the West is really harvesting and I'm not justifying it. They went and they did what psychics, Pico and all these, they broke us into small little towns, little states. And now they are they appointed the puppets to maintain that. But they don't understand that the relationship between a believer a believer in Islam is beyond boundaries. Look at us here. Look how many colors here? How many ethnic groups sitting here? What what gets us here, likewise in the Muslim world. So what happens in faustin

affects me what happens in Pakistan affects me what happened in Afghanistan affects me to share the point that I'm trying to make is in justices in our societies, we have to work on this inshallah. One more point, which they attribute is the interference of the state into religion, back home, you know, right now there is a brand of Islam that they are promoting. And they say this is Islam. But the top of the line now is orchestrated mockery of Islam. That all ignites that extremism approach that extremist approach in the societies, but at the end of the day, brothers and sisters in Islam, the safest path towards Allah subhanho wa Taala is the middle path that you will not fall short. You

do not go beyond the commands of Allah subhana wa Taala. You stay in the middle, how you will number a number two

young Jacobi human Jaffe, while he

said the best path is the middle one. Those who are negligent, will say you know what this guy is right. Let me just pray five times and and those who are extremists, we'll come back to them. And this is how you call to Allah subhanahu wa. Do I still have time for questions?

So I have time for questions I'm about to complete.

Okay.

I'm just kidding. Okay.
