My dear respected brothers and sisters in Islam,
Assalamu Alaikum
It's always a pleasure to
be
next to Sheikh Uthman ibn Farooq Hafidullah.
May Allah
bless his Dawah, Rubalal Amin.
It's very
pleasing
to see
a brother
who
uses the Quran and Sunnah
to call non Muslims to Islam.
The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam himself said,
the Quran was revealed to me
to employ it,
to warn you.
We do not need to go elsewhere
to find substance,
to invite others to Islam.
Rasul
never
resorted to Greek philosophy
or Almal Kalam, the speculative
speech,
in order to invite others to Islam.
Yeah, we use logic, but the logic that
is contained in the Quran,
The Quran has a lot of logic,
so we utilize that, and we stick to
that.
Rasul
confined us.
Allah
You're Abu Al
Amin. May Allah preserve him, preserve his family,
and
give him a long life
with iman,
with taqwa,
so that he can,
continue,
carry on,
conveying the message, insha'Allah.
I think I have like,
25, 30 minutes
to
to,
share with you
a message that
I
shared with the brothers,
the Khotbat al Jumaa today,
and because of its significance,
I would like to share it with you
as well.
And, it is coming from the Koran.
Everything we say is coming from the Koran.
Let me,
begin by
making that statement which is
actually derived
from the Quran
that as long as there is Haqq
and Baatal,
if you're not familiar with the word Ba'atil,
falsehood,
on earth,
there will continue
to be a conflict between them.
The followers of Haqq,
and the followers of falsehood,
they will always collide
because both agendas
are not compatible.
And
normally,
the
conflict
is about dominance.
Who dominates
the world,
or the society?
Who makes the call?
What to hear?
What to listen to? What to watch?
What your kids study in school?
All of that.
So that's the conflict
that is ongoing,
and it will keep going
until the day of judgment.
So let me restate this again. As long
as we have tawhid,
and shirk,
sunnah,
and bidah,
Hawa,
and guidance,
objective
morality
and subjective morality,
if you know the difference between the 2.
Objective morality,
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is the one
who dictates what's moral
and what's immoral.
Subjective morality is left to the
MBs and
election to decide what is moral and what
is immoral.
There will always be a conflict.
There are 2 verses
in the Qur'an,
which validate
this principle.
The first in Surat Al Baqarah, and the
second in Surat Al Hajj.
Has it been for that conflict
between the good
and the bad,
the beauty and the beast,
earth
will
reach to a state of corruption.
So actually this verse
is informing us that this
conflict
preserves
earth
from corruption.
Now,
let me move one
step further.
Pay attention here.
It has been always
in the forefront,
the battle
or the ground of the conflict is the
next generation.
So both
groups
are after the next generation,
the children.
So they want the children,
and the people thought they want the children.
Why?
Obviously because those who are
in control
or their culture
is the dominant one,
they want to maintain this dominance,
and the only way for them to do
that, is to make sure that it transcends
to the next generation.
It goes to the next generation.
And those who are weak,
like the Muslims now,
really our hope is in Abdullah and
the likeness of Abdullah.
Because obviously our generation
is unable to make a change.
So we can only
focus
on preparing hopefully the next generation who can
change the landscape
and turn
the dominance
to the people of Haqq,
the people of Islam, the people of Tawhid.
And
as a matter of fact,
if you carefully
look into the Quran and Sunnah that you
find
that this is a satanic
plan,
is to
mess up the wrong,
mess up the next generation.
I'm referring to,
Hadith
Jabir
ibn Abdillah
radiAllahu anhumah
The Prophet
said,
Satan, the one who doesn't die, the one
who refused to bow down to Adam, the
head of the
battle campaign,
the falsehood campaign on earth,
every single day he places
his throne on water,
then he will give incentive
to his helpers
from the jinn, and he would say to
them,
man adalalayawma
Musliman
al bestuhu taj,
whosoever
succeeds today
in misguiding
one of the people of Al Haqq,
I will give you a prize tonight.
I will crown you tonight.
Surprisingly,
if you read the hadith carefully,
that some of his
army
would report
achievements
such as killing,
such as committing adultery,
such as
drinking intoxicants,
and this doesn't excite mister Satan.
But what excites mister Satan, and this is
the one who will actually receive the prize,
the jinni who would stand up and say,
I did not
leave a husband and wife today until I
separated them.
Why?
Why this one?
Mahal, remember
the battle ground is the next generation, and
where the next generation is gonna
be brought up?
He want to disrupt that harmony
which produces,
well
psychologically
nourished
children.
We know that when they end there is
a divorce, although divorce is not Haram in
Islam,
divorce can be a solution for
marriages which
are not working, and people have been trying,
not like the Christians who say
no divorce.
But
when there is a divorce in the family,
the
party that pays the price is the children,
quite frankly. That's all.
They pay the price.
It's a satanic
approach that they go after the next generation,
in order to
maintain
their dominance.
As a matter of fact, if we read
the Qur'an carefully,
we'll find out that
the satanic,
the way of shaitan,
the way of falsehood,
the way of batil,
sometimes
they go
as far
as
slaughtering
the next generation.
Slaying them literally with a knife.
Where do we get that from?
You know the story, don't you?
Raul literally used to slay the newborn.
Why?
Why did he do that?
Because his kingship
was threatened.
If you read Hadith Abdullah ibn Abbas
That is why the hadith is called Hadith
al Futun.
That the Pharaohs informed
in,
interpreting his dream, he saw a dream that
a fire came from Jerusalem
which burned
the houses of the Egyptians, but it did
not burn
one single house from Bani Israel. So he
asked, what is this? He said the Jews,
the Muslims who are the time, the Jews,
Bani Israel,
they are saying that there is a time,
this is the time for a new born.
A child who will be born,
and he will be the reason for the
destruction of your dominion,
your kingdom.
That's why he killed him.
I'm really sorry to say that, to equate
this with this, but this is a reality.
What the world is witnessing now,
is very similar to frown.
Yeah, is not slaughtering with a knife,
but you're slaughtering the fitrah,
the
inherent tendency of the children.
When you teach them sexuality in this manner,
the agenda
of the
kaumut,
lbgtwxyz.
Plus.
Is
being taught
to children
in the public school system.
In America,
North America where I come from,
is crazy,
unbelievable.
If you hear the language that is being
taught
to the children,
you as an adult cannot
even tolerate it. Your ears is profanity
for you,
is profanity.
Yeah. This is not literally
slaughtering the children with a knife,
but you're damaging their fitra.
You're damaging
their
purity,
the state of purity upon which
they were born.
Now,
who is responsible for the children here, in
this
spectrum, in this paradigm? Who's responsible?
Still the parents.
If you think you as a parent
is exempt
or excluded,
or no longer
responsible
for protecting the fitra of your children, I'm
sorry,
you're mistaken.
Because the Prophet
clearly
stated,
Every newborn is born
fitra,
I could say born straight,
Isn't the fitra straight?
Being straight.
Now, who will sway that fitra to take
another
direction
that is not compatible
with it is straightness?
The parents,
whether taken away from Islam,
to another religion,
and so forth.
So it is the responsibility
of the parents to protect this fitra.
Not only that.
But
also
to enhance
this fitra by connecting it with the Divine
Revelation.
You see the fitra is an innermost peace
in the heart,
like a chip inside you, which can really
direct you to the truth,
if it is kept in its purity.
But also the responsibility
of the parents is to connect that fitra
with the Quran and sunnah, with the revelation,
with the teachings of Islam.
So that
the ignition happens.
You know, the ignition happens.
The the the the Noor, the light will
shine.
Let's
move one step further here.
Pay attention here.
Based on the story of Musa
and the firo,
that parents,
in order to protect their children,
they may
resort to doing
the illogical.
Something that is not logical.
Something that is not popular.
Where do I get that from?
Who told you in order to save
your child from the knife of the pharaoh,
that you throw him in the river?
Isn't that what the mother of Musa did?
Is that normal?
Is that normal? I'm asking you, is that
normal?
It is not normal.
In order to save her child from death,
she throw him in the Nile. Likewise,
you
may have to do something that is not
popular,
that is not condoned
by
the society,
by the community
to save your children.
For example,
homeschooling.
For example, sending them to Islamic schools.
For example,
take them off
completely,
and find a way to educate them.
Well, I want them to be successful
businessmen.
I want them to be
Mr. Doctor, Mr.
Engineer.
Yeah, fine. But not at the expense of
their akhirah.
You see, your
primary
responsibility,
when it comes to your children,
is what?
To save their akhira.
To
save their
deen.
Him being a doctor or being an engineer,
Allah will provide.
Allah wrote his rizq
before he came into this world. Don't worry
about that part.
Your job is to make sure that this
boy or this girl
are protected, so that they can attain the
akhira.
But
in
how long do I still have like 5
minutes? 20. 20? 12. 12 minutes.
But at the same time also,
it is not
wise
to completely
isolate
the child
from the environment.
I mean, you can take a child off
that corrupt environment and teach them
virtues,
good things
but at the end of the day he's
gonna have to do what?
He's gonna sooner or later interact
with this corrupt
environment.
So what is the solution here? And as
a matter of fact,
we as Muslims
should become
the beacons of hope
for the Western civilizations.
Because these guys are
self destructing
themselves.
They are
destroying themselves
by themselves.
Now the only
hope they have really is Islam.
Because Islam holds
strong grounds
when it comes to morality
or moral standards. Why?
Because moral standards in Islam
are
tied
to the revelation.
You see,
when
someone asked Aisha radiAllahu Anha about
the moral standard of Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
What was the answer?
His character is what?
Quran.
So his character
stemmed from the Quran.
And for you,
to know,
Ibn Abbas radiAllahu
an hooma, wali ibnabi atharib and their students,
they explained this verse,
You are on the best character. You know
what they said?
You're in the best religion.
So they equated the character with what?
With the religion. Allah tells me who to
marry.
Not my desire.
Allah tells me
how to even
conduct
intimacy
with your wife.
What should you say? Where should you go?
That's
Allah tells me how to go to the
bathroom.
The Prophet
on the tongue of the Prophet.
And someone, a Jewish or a majoran actually,
said to Salman,
your religion teaches you even how to relieve
yourself. I said, yeah.
The prophet told us to do 123.
Fasheya the important thing here is, we are
the hope for this society here.
So we should not
take aside and let them destroy.
Because whether you like it or not, it's
gonna get to you.
You see the Prophet
wanted us to depict this in a very
illustrative manner.
When he
asked us
to visualize
a ship,
Hadith ul Nirmal ibn Bashir,
and the ship has two levels,
the upper and the lower.
So the people the people in the lower
level
of the ship,
they have no access, direct access to water.
So for them to get water, they have
to go and bother the people on the
top.
So the people on the top
kinda showed that
it's too much. You guys have this every
time you come jump in here, what is
this?
So out of well intention, by the way,
they well intended. They had a good intention,
by the way.
They said, you know what? We don't wanna
bother these guys.
Let's just dig a hole in the ship.
You see they have good They need to
understand this. The people, they had a good
intention.
They didn't mean any, but they are not
smart enough.
They don't know that this will lead what?
To the sinking
of the entire, to the collapse of the
entire community.
Now if the people in the upper level,
which is the people of Haqq,
do not stop them from doing that. What
is gonna happen to the whole ship?
That's exactly what it is.
So if you do not contribute
to
placing a control over this agenda,
it's gonna come to you. Let me close
by saying,
so
how can
you, produce
this
Muslim child,
who is protected
from that corrupt environment and at the same
time
he is able to engage
to make a
change.
We actually have a story and I wish
I have, you know, the time to do
it but beautiful hadith I refer you to
it.
That actually
can help us understand this.
I'm referring to hadith,
Suhaib Ar Rumi,
which the famous story the boy and the
king. You heard that story, right? The boy
and the king? Yeah. No?
Surat Al
Buruj?
The boy who turned the entire community into
Muslims?
You didn't hear that story?
No?
Okay. Very quickly.
Halif Islam Muslim,
In the nations before you, there was a
king. Again, this is,
don't try to impersonalize this. That's when the
story loses its
substance.
This just was supposed to,
be implemented
in any place. So there is a king,
someone who has the dominance, but he's a
wicked king.
He would
use
sorcery
to subdue
his
citizens.
He used to have a sorcerer.
And that sorcerer would lie, would get the
people to see things that are not.
That's what sorcery is.
We can equate sorcery now to the media.
Whatever the media wants you to believe, they
just do the brainstorming thing.
Brainwashing
thing,
until you believe it.
So this king has been
dominating the scene for a long time,
But the sorcerer
became old.
And he's about to die.
So he went to the king and he
said, listen, you know and I know
that the only way for you to maintain
your dominance
is if I live
or what I learn
or what I teach lives
after me.
I'm about to die
in order to save your kingdom,
bring me
I am boy.
Again, the same thing now.
I wanna pass on that knowledge, that wicked
knowledge, that corrupt knowledge to the next generation.
So that you can maintain what
so they brought him a boy,
young boy, young man.
I'm going through the hadith quickly,
3 minutes will be done.
But pay attention here because this is how
we can
create
that
child, not create, produce,
Allah creates,
produce this child who can actually
give dawah, and at the same time he
doesn't indulge into the wickedness of the community.
So imagine
this young boy
would go to learn disbelief,
shirk,
sorcery everyday.
But subhanAllah, the will of Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala that this boy in his way
to receive sorcery lessons,
he happens to hear the Revelation.
While he is walking to receive sorcery lessons,
he heard someone reciting the revelation.
And you know
the kids, the children, their fitra is very
good. If you really wanna teach Tawhid without
any trouble, teach it to children.
Sometimes
elders,
because it's very close to their footra.
They are close.
The boy heard the revelation he became attracted
to it.
So he went to the sheikh, of course
it's called the monk Rahib Yahnfil Hadith but
I'm a man about tawhid
And he said I want to learn from
you.
And amazingly that this young boy, he would
get beaten up twice.
You see, he would spend time with the
sheikh, then he would arrive late.
The sorcerer,
the old sorcerer would become very upset,
and he would beat him up,
and he would insist
for him to stay the same duration of
time for his lesson.
Then he would arrive home late, his father
would beat him up.
Would you
get beaten up twice, and the following day
you still go to the Sheikh?
He did went to the sheikh.
That shows you also the sheikh was an
attraction.
Unfortunately,
we become sometimes weird and mean as Imams
and Suri Sheikh Sofia.
We become very dismissing, you know. Look, can
you imagine this young boy was beaten up
twice. Anyone would say, oh, man, that's not
working. Why would I go back and get
pity? Let me just Look, he still went
to the Sheikh because the Sheikh was an
attraction.
He liked the sheikh.
The sheikh, or the important thing here is
what
is actually the sheikh
offered him help,
fatwa,
on, you know, how to
evade,
being beaten up twice, how we avoid that
and so forth and it worked.
Isha, you know, the important thing here is
what?
This young boy,
every single day,
is learning tawhid
and shirk.
Truth,
falsehood.
Lie,
everyday.
Every day
and whether you like it or not, this
is what your children are going through.
You do not recognize
how much they are receiving
from the sorcerer
side.
You don't.
Allah, my child hold the phones like this,
As if he was born with a phone
in his hand.
He knows stuff about this iPhone that I
didn't even know.
Baba, can I teach you that? And I
was talking about 9 years old here.
But here is the unfortunate part,
that many of
our children
are deprived
from the Sheikh
portion.
They hardly give them the Sheikh portion.
Your child would spend 8 hours a day
in
school learning about
atheism and all that stuff that Sheikh Uthman
addressed.
8 hours. 8 times 5 is what? 40.
40.
Then you come and throw your child in
a week in school for an hour.
Fix that Sheikh Sofia.
It's not gonna work.
Remember,
That is why SubhanAllah,
I love this hadith so much so, because
it's very accurate. You see the boy was
receiving
equally,
truth and falsehood,
time wise. He was spending the same time.
That's what we are asking you to do.
We are not asking you to completely isolate
your child from that environment because it's impossible.
Why?
Because what you want? You want your child
to develop
this character
which
scholars of tarbia they call it the critical
thinking character.
That you want him to decide on his
own,
what is right and what is wrong but
you gotta give him enough
of truth
You're depriving him. He's getting enough of falsehood.
The falsehood is so appealing, so tempting.
So this,
in closing,
this young boy,
He himself,
realized that those 2,
cannot
be compatible
and he started actually questioning
and
obviously
the Sheikh
or the Rahib cannot focused
on explaining the truth to him.
Far Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala prepared the scene
for him,
Based on the hadith,
different wording of the hadith, Khariz Muslim
They say that there is a line
that sat on a bridge
and for the,
members of this community to go about their
work they have to cross over that bridge
to go to their
farm. So the a lion is sitting out
there on a bridge,
so everybody so they called,
Come on, we pay taxes Mr.
King. Take care of that.
So
the King called the sorcerer, Come on, these
guys may have a revolt here.
Fix that situation, he said, Oh let me
try my boy.
Let me give my boy the first mission,
the first job here.
But the boy had a different plan.
When he was asked to take care of
that line,
Al hadithul say
that in the wording of a term,
nasai,
they say,
Asadyan.
SubhanAllah,
as soon as the boy learned that he
is to take care of that situation, he
said, today
I will find out which one Allah loves
most.
That's a critical thinking right here.
I wanna know which one Allah loves the
most.
He grabs
a people,
small rock,
and he looked up
Allah,
O Allah, Allah
I know this small rock doesn't kill a
lion,
but I'm seeking guidance here.
I've been learning those two things.
Quite frankly they don't match, they have no
harmony,
They are the total opposite.
Now, which one you love most?
What the Sheikh has been teaching me?
Or what the sorcerer has been teaching me?
Now I'm gonna throw that rock, small rock
into that line.
If you love what the Sheikh has been
teaching me more kill
the lion
with this rock.
And it happened.
It happened.
Now he said, today,
I'm done. You see? That's what you want
to do with your children
at this time and age.
But it takes a lot of
individual commitment,
a lot of
communal commitment
to work together
to produce that.
I hope you got the message, Yani, Insha'Allah.
It's just a nutshell.
But this subject, the iqwa, is is really
painful,
because
I have never
expected myself
to have this
brainstorming
machine,
when it comes to sexuality
and gender
in in the West,
in this manner,
and they are targeting
our
That's what makes it painful.
That's what makes it painful.
