			you will certainly cause corruption in the land twice.
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:54
			And you will become extremely arrogant. When the first of the two warnings will come to pass. We
will turn against you some of our slaves of great might great strength
		
00:02:56 --> 00:03:26
			who will ravage your homes, this will be a warning fulfilled, then after your repentance we will
give you the upper hand over them and aid you with wealth and offspring causing you to or number
them. If you act rightly it is for your own good, but if you do wrong, it is your own loss. And when
the second warning would come to pass, your enemies will be left to totally disgrace you and enter
the temple of Jerusalem which is the
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:41
			the masjid of Sudama li salaam as they entered it the first time and utterly destroy whatever would
fall into the hands. Perhaps your Lord Your love will have mercy on you if you repent.
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:52
			But if you return to sin, we will return to punishment. And we have made * a permanent
confinement for the disbelievers.
		
00:03:54 --> 00:04:02
			In the first instance, in 597 BCE, Nebuchadnezzar the king of the Babylonians besieged Jerusalem,
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:05
			which fell after
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:09
			a 30 month siege
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:41
			following which the Babylonians systematically destroyed the city and the first temple as they call
it, which is the mercy of those who live on a visa. The kingdom of Judah was dissolved and many of
its inhabitants were taken as slaves to Babylon. The second seed of Jerusalem of seven TCE, which is
roughly 600 years later, was the decisive event of the first Roman Jewish War of 66 to 73.
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:50
			C, in which the Roman army led by future emperor Titus, this besieged
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:59
			Jerusalem and following a five month siege, the Romans destroyed the city and the second Jewish
Temple
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:04
			was also destroyed and enslaved and deported.
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:07
			The survivors.
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:09
			Whoever was
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:13
			still living, they did that.
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:37
			There were no Jews left in Jerusalem. The city of Jerusalem was thoroughly sacked by the Romans,
buildings, homes and walls were torn down, leaving the city in ruins. The level of devastation was
such that josefus The story and claimed that those who visited the city after its destruction, could
scarcely believe that it had ever been inhabited.
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:42
			And you can imagine what kind of destruction that was.
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:49
			In this period, mentioned in the Quran, it was the one Israel who was the high aroma of the time.
		
00:05:51 --> 00:06:12
			They were the Muslims of the time, Allah subhanaw taala said that they were living lives of
disobedience and refuse to repent. So Allah Subhana Allah allowed his warlike slaves to enter the
holy city and destroy and enslave the Muslims. Allah didn't say that this was because of the people
in Jerusalem. Because I want the people in Jerusalem itself we're doing
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:21
			that but because of what the Bani Israel were doing, generally, wherever they lived, and we know
that they lived in many parts of the world.
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:30
			That is why many scholars have quoted these ayat and said that Jerusalem is a meter to check the
health of the Muslim ummah.
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:38
			This is also what's going on, we're gonna have Tara De La Rue mentioned in his letter, which he
wrote to
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:42
			Saudi Arabia cause of the alarm
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:55
			when he was the commander of Saudi Arabia, who was the commander of the army, facing the Persians in
the Battle of Persia. Today, as we see what is happening in Philistine
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:08
			we must reflect on how we may be how we may be the reason it is happening. Like excess cholesterol,
harms the stock harmed the heart.
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:15
			excess cholesterol harms the heart, not the mouth of the stock and actions can
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:18
			cause results elsewhere.
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:22
			To understand
		
00:07:24 --> 00:08:12
			this logic, let us look at another famous incident, the disobedience of the archers in odd
Rasulullah Salem port 50 Archers, on the small hill near the mountain are hard and give them
specific instructions. He said to them, protect our backs. If you see us being killed, don't come to
our aid. If you see us winning, do not join us. If you see the vultures flying off with us, don't
leave until I send you a message. And if you see us, trampling the enemy under our feet, don't leave
until I send you a message. Very clear instructions. The Muslims were winning. And when the courage
fled, it looked like the battle was over. The Muslim soldiers got into the camp of the Khorasan
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:14
			started collecting booty.
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:50
			There was great rejoicing and claims of victory. The archers on the Hill who Rasulullah sallallahu
placed there for just such an eventuality with clear instructions not to abandon the posts no matter
what happened. disobeyed. When they saw the Muslims gathering booty they wanted to go down and join
them. Their commander of the law in Jumeirah, Milan who reminded them of the orders of Rasul Allah
Azza wa sallam, but 40 Out of the 50 mutinied, and they left. Their claim was that
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:56
			the order our sorrows SLM, applied during the battle, and dot when the battle was over.
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:28
			The leader reminded them that as soon as salam had stated clearly that they must not leave their
post no matter what happened, but they use their faulty logic to cover the real reason, which was
the desire to collect booty, wish they were afraid would be lost if they remained at their post. The
result was that the commander of the cavalry of the whorish Khalid, Ali, the Velodrome that he was
not a Muslim attacked from the rear, and the tide of the battle was overturned.
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:51
			The Muslims were defeated 70 Sahaba were killed and Rasool Allah is a southern himself was severely
injured. Even his presence was not enough to avert disaster. Now let's reflect on this event. Some
Muslims disobeyed a surah salah, but others were killed under sola Salazar himself was badly hurt.
		
00:09:53 --> 00:10:00
			They were not the people who disobeyed but they were the ones who paid the price. Let us pause for
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:24
			are a bit and reflect on the reasons we disobey Allah Subhan Allah and His Messenger today among the
most common reasons is because we feel that we will lose in a worldly sense if we obey and another
is because we feel that the order is not applicable today. Let us be clear that the orders of Allah
subhanaw taala and the method of resource SLM
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:28
			not timber
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:34
			they're not time bound, they're not specific to a particular time and place.
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:50
			They are good for all people for all time. Allah subhanaw taala mentioned this incident and he said
well I thought saga como la Hawa who is her Sona home be isn't he he had either for she's done. What
another
		
00:10:52 --> 00:11:12
			fee Phil Emery wa say to Mumbai the MA or Akuma to him both men coma you read to dunya Amin coma you
riddle FIRA some sort of a coma I know Leah will tell you a comb wala called Alpha uncom Allah Who
for Lynas, funding Isla Mini.
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:37
			Allah said Allah Allah did indeed and Allah did indeed fulfill his promise to you, when you were
killing them, killing your enemy, with his permission until the moment you lost your courage, and
fell to disputing about the order and disobeyed after he geladeira who showed you the booty which
you love.
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:40
			Among
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:43
			you are some
		
00:11:45 --> 00:12:17
			that desire this world, and some that desire the after. Then he geladeira Allah Who made you flee
from them, which is your enemy, that he might test you. But surely, he forgave you. And Allah is the
most gracious to the believers. If we look at this incident and see what is happening in Gaza today
and ask, what did they do to deserve this? Maybe it is because of us and not them. That is why we
must begin by making sincere is the foreign thought.
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:42
			Allah Subhana Allah told us that we spoil our own good situation by disobeying him in the Lucha
Libre, your Euro, maybe COVID, Hatha Yoga Euro maybe unforeseen. Allah said Indeed, Allah will never
change the good condition of a people until they change it themselves until they change their own
state of with
		
00:12:43 --> 00:13:20
			their therefore the first thing to do is to own up to our sins and seek ALLAH subhanaw taala as
forgiveness Allah subhanaw taala mentioned we're normally Salam advises people for call to stop Euro
Macomb in Ghana or Farah usually saba alikhan with Aurora where you need to come BMV valley where
Bernie where y'all left on Jana, to where your loved one how Allah said what he said and said I tell
my people seek your forgiveness for his truly most forgiving he will shower you with abundant rain
and give you wealth and children give you garden as well as Lois
		
00:13:22 --> 00:14:00
			didn't examine our lives and our decisions our ways and choices and see where we are going against
the Sunnah for Salah Salem and thereby displeasing Allah subhanaw taala and correct that
immediately, then we must turn to Allah subhanaw taala seeking His forgiveness, Allah Subhana Allah
told us that he is with the otaku and Masino not with the foster home not with the disobedient in
Allah Allah Xena taco when you know homeless, you know, surely Allah is with those who have Taqwa
and who do Sr. Taqwa is the foundation of all goodness and strength, and we must regain it.
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:09
			Once you make us the violent Toba, which means we seek forgiveness and we change our lives, actual
lives must be changed.
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:41
			And after we remove our disobedience from our lives, here is what we must do to change our personal
and collective destiny. Remember that this is the this is the long haul. It will take at least two
generations. But unless we start now, we will condemn ourselves and our children and grandchildren
to slavery. For those who are serious about creating change, which will be a sadaqa jariya there are
four things that we must do right away.
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:44
			It begins with the purification
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:53
			of ourselves, body and soul, which is critical to success without purifying the body of the soul. We
cannot succeed.
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:59
			So the first thing to do is halal and eat halal and fulfill all
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:49
			All for whatever Allah has been obligatory, make sure we do it on Halal eternal fulfill for right?
It begins with that because the DUA and the worship of either of those who earn and eat Haram is not
accepted. We need to begin by cleaning up our act. Let us return to our loss manager. Now to do
that, we cannot and should not underestimate the power of Da don't say oh I can only make no dua is
the most powerful thing to do. This is the most powerful tool that a believer has. So let's
understand him said dua is the weapon of the believer. It is the essence or epidemic of worship.
Allah subhanaw taala told us about the DUA opposite very early salaam, which is a lesson in how to
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:50
			make dua.
		
00:15:51 --> 00:16:08
			There are three principal principles in making dua glorify Allah subhanho wa Taala below, express
your own helplessness and ask Allah subhanaw taala in keeping with his majesty and grace, not
according to our fears and apprehensions.
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:10
			Allah subhanaw taala mentioned
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:31
			in surah, Maryam Zico Rama Tierra de carga whose ad is an ad out on Bo NIDA and coffee all have been
new and allows movie ne watch the aisle associate Eva what can we do? It cannot be Sharpie.
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:49
			We're in near Rift Valley mu r e we're gonna team Maratea Kira we will learn qawwali here is only
resuming earlier who was the girl who rock beer or the
		
00:16:50 --> 00:17:10
			he said this is a reminder of your Rob's mercy to his slave Zakaria when he cried out to his Rob
secretly did our coffee a small voice saying my Rob surely my bones have become brittle, meaning I'm
an old man and gray hair has spread across my head, but I have never been disappointed in my door to
my room.
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:19
			And I am concerned about the fate of my relatives after me since my wife is better. So grant me by
Your grace and
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:27
			who will inherit prophethood from me and the family of the home and make him aura pleasing to you.
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:45
			There is a blessing and everything that Allah's router does. And so also in this terrible crisis in
Philistine two amazing things that happened. Muslims who are normally divided on all kinds of bases
have come together and are raising their voices in solidarity with the Palestinian people.
		
00:17:47 --> 00:18:07
			And Muslims have realized that all their skills and plans are worthless, and only Allah subhanaw
taala can help us and so they have turned to Allah subhanho wa Taala and are making dua. So while
participating in protests and so on, please remember that change can come from Allah subhanho wa
Taala alone and not from the protests.
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:09
			Imam enjoy
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:46
			the Apollo era with our Kilala we work with our with our hands and feet, but our hearts are
connected to Allah subhanaw taala and have Reliance only on it. Make sure you pray on time, respect
the boundaries of Allah subhanaw taala and make lots of door don't leave all this in the poor just
keep begging Allah subhanaw taala until he changes the situation. Our job is to begin. So it has
been all by belongs to Allah subhanaw taala and he promised to respond to those who call on him.
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:49
			Number three, awareness.
		
00:18:51 --> 00:19:18
			All of us should be aware of what is happening right now educate ourselves regarding the history of
the complex. We should also be actively engaged in spreading awareness in our respective spheres of
influence, learn and teach. The problem is that many people claim to be experts on the Middle East,
but when you ask them where is Jordan, they say to date, we don't need that. We must have our facts
right. So let us learn.
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:23
			Then teach others
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:47
			teachings, seminars, fireside conversations, roundtables, organizations, do whatever is suitable,
but educate people. We must learn to speak objectively with dignity, without emotion and neither
provoke nor be provoked. speak the language of human rights, justice, anti racism, sanctity of,
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:50
			of life of human life
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:59
			and do about it and equality. And number four, get involved. Especially get involved with the BDS
movement.
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:49
			To date, it is the most effective course of action. You have the right to buy or subscribe to
anything or not by your choice. Let us make it clear that we that we will not help those who support
about it and have no respect for human life. Yes, it may be difficult to do without your favorite
brands. But remember that it's easier than being bumped and then and rendered homeless, which is
what the first thing is, are now facing. Data show our sincerity by putting our money where our
mouth is. Finally, as we shall see next week, there are structural changes that we need to make in
our careers, video goals, attitudes, focus and effort. If we truly want to break out of the
		
00:20:49 --> 00:21:04
			quicksand of humiliation that we are stuck in. We must change our priorities and support each other
and efforts aimed at creating long term change. More about next about this next week in Southern
Ireland we will carry Murali he was
