My dear respected brothers, and we have sisters,
the subject,
I have is the called unity.
And let me begin,
by making that statement,
and I will validate it with evidence.
The call to the aid is the call
to unity.
When you call people
to
stand
on the foundation
of singling out Allah
when it comes to his
names and attributes,
acts of lordship,
when it comes to his worship.
Actually, you're calling people.
What is the evidence for them?
I want you to
look at your phone and break your Quran
out and look at verse
2 115,
Surah al Bakr.
Read what
and others
explain why they were a single family.
They said,
hate.
So they used to be 1 single family
because they all were a point of hate.
The moment that shirk
was introduced
into
earth, that's how they divided,
And, consequently,
the need arise
for messengers and prophets to come to bring
people back to what unites them again.
What
then? Those 5 crisis people.
The
people loved it.
They started going to their graves,
visiting them, spending time there.
Later on,
they actually made idols of them.
They actually ended up
worshiping them
literally
because they loved them.
So, actually, the first time
of alafism,
of shirk which emerged
on the face of this earth is the
shirk when it comes to the waves,
shirkulpu'woo,
which really was generated from shirkul Mahatta, which
is a very devastating fire
So the call to the is
the call to it.
I heard the evidence.
Is the evidence convincing you?
This is a Quran from the Quran and
the understanding of
the first generation of Muslims, especially Abu Dhabi
and Abbas.
Someone Rasulullah
made du'a for him. Allah made that we.
Oh, Allah teach him
unity is a harvest of the heat.
That's why you don't have to worry about
it. You see people you see what people
we gotta be united. We're gonna be united.
We're gonna no. No. No. It doesn't go
this way. Unity comes when
We're talking about the unity of what?
Of the hearts.
You see, when Allah
and with the believers in reference to to
the companions.
If you spin
the entire
earth,
the wealth in the entire earth,
to actually bring them together, you cannot.
Yeah. You may bring bodies together,
Islam allowed them to to adopt,
beliefs
indifferent to mine, but Islam doesn't stop me
from working with them. Likewise, I can work
with any Muslim.
Name him,
whatever
his is, I can work with him. I
don't have an issue with
But if we're talking about unity to serve
the deen of Allah
as a,
the only way we're gonna do this is.
Otherwise, it's a waste of time. Waste of.
But let's move one step further here.
We have a wealth of text, abundance
of text
regarding,
enjoying
to come together to be unite to be
united.
And I always look at this verse.
I think there are 87. If I'm not
mistaken.
87,
it was something good you're being directed to
do
or something that is harmful,
you're not supposed to do.
Allah is the one who's telling you not
to do it.
In my opinion, the most
essential,
is
the verse that comes before the theme of
your conference.
What what does it say?
Why? Because that's
based on this, your is decided.
Dying as a Muslim, at least, will
give you Jannah.
Not necessarily directly.
One way
to die in the Muslim
that you hold fast
to what unites you,
which is the book of Allah.
In this verse,
We have also,
the prophet
that any sheep that strays from the community,
the flocks,
is gonna be hunted by the wolves.
So there is abundance
of verses
and sunnah
which talks about
unity being together and the virtue of that.
But the question I'm gonna ask you,
did the prophet
His
his admonition, his mawela,
his talk was so effective that
the companions who were
present actually
broken tears.
But Adnan said to him, this looks like
it's a fable.
Kinda
advise. It's it's heartfelt.
Interesting thing about
even in the reference
to the lack of unity, the prophet
is indicating
what led to that.
And also he's giving you
the way to come back. Is it I
left
amongst you? What will unite me?
The book of Allah
and my
There is another instance.
The,
verse.
Telling
you
what will get you back together is the
obedience of Allah
and his messenger.
The,
you know, the the the third instance is
the famous one,
which is hadith al Farq.
The
will divide into 73¢.
All of them
are on misguidance.
And in the prophet said, now
we could delete. Is it eternal now or
is it temporary because they are going to
hate?
This is something that we can discuss.
The way that I and my companions are
born today.
And that is why Sheikh Ibrahim can
So this is one.
The second answer is a jama'ah.
The community
now here's the misconception regarding jama'ah. A lot
of people translate the jama'ah and they say
the masses.
What the prophet and his companions
understood and implemented,
and they grouped
to follow them. They came together to follow
them,
not the numbers,
not
one of the things that people use. Look,
As long as you follow the Quran and
the sunnah based on the understanding of those
3 generations of Muslims, you are the even
if you're alone.
Because that's
the detector.
It's following the Quran and sunnah bees on
the understanding of.
That's it.
Now any people who grew up with that,
this is a jama'am.
Amazingly,
the prophet when
he
One funny piece that I heard from one
of those people who, you know, have an
issue with this hadith.
This is not something that we follow about
his what he said. He said, you wanna
tell me all this and there's only one
group of.
Trying and working hard to unite, but it's
not working,
what are you gonna do?
You're gonna get down?
You're gonna hand yourself in the ceiling?
We're not gonna do that.
Here's the first instance
where the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam refilled
explaining verse number 65,
chapter in an
Arab.
A thunderstorm.
Allah answered his dua. I'm not gonna destroy
Muslims collectively.
Because unity is the way to hope for
the Ummah if we wanna achieve something, if
we wanna change the course of action.
You see, Islam is not a one man
show.
You're not for sure if you're watching these,
Hollywood, Bollywood movies.
Okay, to go and feed some hungry people
in in Africa.
No problem.
I can unite with anybody.
I can work with anybody
for common causes
which will benefit your humanity.
But when it comes to the work of
Allah,
no.
It's
And I'm not chill here.
Obviously,
the only way
understanding of
the first day generations of Muslims.
Now
where are the areas of contention?
Let's look into the landscape.
I chose 5
5 areas.
We're inviting
those people
who have differences
to go back and know mister Quran and
Sunnah Amor will revert to me.
The first issue brothers and sisters in Islam,
the Muslims
differ upon,
is
the nature,
modality
of iman. What is iman?
What is the definition of iman?
And they differed on a key issue,
whether iman
goes up and down or not.
It doesn't go up and down.
Woman from this woman. 1000 scores from this
woman. All of them say, and
evolution
of a sect in the Ummah called
like a *. That's all. But I just
don't play 5 times a day.
Oh, now that's the culture.
But
they're
So you the the Quran and sunnah
established that
you know, I don't even think you feel
the same way you felt when you entered
that room.
By the angels.
And I said, Hamdul?
He actually accused him of Huqus. He said,
Why?
That's iman.
Mister Asharab, Matuili,
we're gonna lie to you. Can you go
to the text and see
People of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said about
them in the Quran that I'm pleased with
them. I'm happy with them.
Isn't it in the
Quran?
So you want me to go and and
appease them at the expense of
But again, I I will also tell you
something.
The attention here. The attention here.
We're not calling them kufar either.
Taught.
They should learn
how to go up.
What is the issue of the suf?
Okay. We have an issue.
Apart from
the belief
system,
the issue
of waseera.
They tell you you must have a waseera
du Allah.
Four means to give to Allah.
Not someone who's buried in the grave,
who's dead,
who needs my help.
You need someone who's what?
You need what? Something that you can adopt.
Like what? Number 1,
Which is better here?
Allah is asking you to call upon him.
Brace me with these names
of mine
I yield myself with.
Your righteous deeds.
Employ your righteous deeds.
Someone that you assume that he is a
good person.
Because again, the day of them who's best,
who's good, and who's bad.
To do what? Ask him to do so
far for you.
Allah goes,
so ask someone who think
If people who are buried in the grave
has any impact, they would have gone to
the grave.
Rasulullah.
He may be forced. He lives in a
culture where
people have to do that. And if you
don't do that,
you lose a lot of privileges.
Or maybe he's forgetting.
What? I'm not an I'm not an intelligence
of quality with cattle.
You know? You have to do that.
I mentioned,
5 areas of contention,
between,
the people who follow the Quran and sunnah
bees on the understanding of Salafi Ummah,
and the,
sets
which evolved in the Muslim world,
who claimed that they follow the Quran in
Sunnah, but unfortunately,
their understanding
is not,
aligned
with the understanding of Salafil Ummah.
And I happen to mention only 4,
and I forgot to mention the 5th,
area,
which I'm gonna attempt to do now.
This area actually was, number 2 in my
list,
after the,
area of,
Iman,
faith and the definition of faith, and the
fact that faith goes up and down,
is the area of the names and the
attributes
of Allah
And this is a huge
arena,
simply,
because,
many of these
groups, Muslim groups, whether Sufi, whether,
you name them,
intellectual
country,
or,
or,
Ashari Matooridi.
That's an area,
major
area of contention.
But they do not
simply understand
the names and the attributes, the way
of the sahaba. Although,
they may claim that,
but in essence, no.
Just a very simple query.
Ask them
the simple question.
Where is Allah?
Many of them.
Of course, some of them will begin by
saying, you shouldn't be asking that question. I'm
I can't. Because Fusiliman Muslim,
the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, when he was
informed by one of his companions, Muawiy ibn
Hakim Sulami,
that he slapped 1
female,
slave that he had.
He said bring her to me, and he
asked her the question, where is Allah?
So you we can ask that question. I'm
sorry. I apologize.
We can ask that question.
But how to answer it,
is the issue.
They don't want to
basically submit to
the Quran and sunnah.
That Allah rose above the throne in a
way that suits His Majesty and He's above
His creation. Yes.
He knows and sees everything, and his highness
does not negate his nearness.
Of course,
the other
is
their interpretation,
affirming,
negating
is a huge mass,
those people
have regarding the names and the attributes of
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. And SubhanAllah, we're talking
about knowing
our Lord
and being able to perceive him the way
that he wanted us to do that. We're
not talking about something light, something that is,
simple. That is the
fundamental
of the religion.
Of course, one of the
funny things that they,
bring up when the subject is brought up
is they say, why would we talk about
something that disunite us?
Don't bring the subject of the names and
the attributes.
You know, it's not important. Isma'a and Saqqat
is not important. I'm sorry.
This goes totally against the understanding
of the first three generations of Muslims. I'll
give you an example.
Abdullah ibn Umar,
when he was told by those 2 individuals
who came from Al Basra,
and the other,
friend of his,
they came to complain about people who claim
that they know the Quran. They actually recite
the Quran, but yet,
they say there is no Qadr.
They actually negated the attribute of knowledge.
You see that the entire subject of Al
Qadr is is is founded on
on,
the names and the attributes of Allah
Look what Abu Lahaina said to them. I
disclaim them, and they should disclaim me.
Another,
incident, Ilham Malik.
Someone asked him,
how did Allah
rose above the throne, Ilham Malik? Look how
offended he was Ilham Malik.
Because
he sensed that this person
is trying to engage in an area that
Allah did not ask him to engage in
regarding,
his divine essence and his names and attributes.
Only Allah knows how Allah is. We believe
that Allah ascends upon
the throne in a way that suits his
majesty. But
the modality and the reality of that,
were not to seek it.
Were not to,
search for it.
And if we happen to fail,
because of the insinuation of shayatan, we always
resort to subhanallah. Allah is above that.
Whatever
your intellectual
capacity,
produces
of Allah, his names and attributes, and its
modality.
Is Allah above that. Always Allah above that.
Well, last is Ilham Ahmed.
While Ilham Ahmed was flogged,
do you guys know why he was flogged?
Because individuals
wanted to cancel out, negate the
attribute of speech from Allah.
That is why they said the Quran is
created
because do you want to believe that Allah
speaks?
Why would an imam of this Umma
get flogged?
Jailed?
Refusing to give in?
For what?
Because of something not important? Give me a
break.
So calling it unity
in closing your brothers and sisters in Iskam
must be
done properly. Otherwise, we're fighting. We're sticking in
again.
