Assalamu alaikum warahmatullahi
wabarakatuh.
First of all, I think we mubaruk and
mubarak to especially to all our friends and
brothers and sisters from Syria.
Alhamdulillah.
That is a news, khabar mubarak lahum walana
kulluna.
Alhamdulillah.
Walakin ayna alamatu sa'ada?
Ayna halawiyat?
Everybody has sugar?
Alhamdulillah.
The second thing before I go into my
actual khatrah is, Subhanallah, those of them we
see here, people who came as refugees, I
talked to a lot of them, I talked
to a lot of refugees, I talked to
Iraqis and Syrians.
Just to listen to their stories, and if
you see their stories, Subhanallah, people who had
factories, people who had businesses, people who had
big homes, people who are professionals, they lost
everything.
On top of that, they lost family members,
they lost their sons and daughters, they lost
their parents.
They came to this country as refugees with
nothing.
Nothing.
They started doing, somebody who owns a factory,
somebody who owns a big business, started working
as a manual laborer in somebody's shop.
Started driving a taxi and what not.
Imagine, this is not a story.
The question is, what does it do to
your heart?
What does it do to your confidence?
But Subhanallah, each one of them is an
inspiration of Allah.
So anytime I see any difficulty, Alhamdulillah, Allah
has kept me free from all difficulties.
But anything that looks like a difficulty, I
think about my friends.
I'm deliberately not mentioning names, because Mashallah, there
are so many of them.
If I mention somebody, somebody else will say,
you did not mention my name.
I don't want to put myself in trouble.
But Alhamdulillah, this is something very important.
I think this is something we should do,
all of us, is sit with people and
talk to them and listen to their stories.
It is a matter of great inspiration.
As I said, we are talking about this
because of what is happening and happened here,
Alhamdulillah, but it applies to everybody.
I have lived a long life, and Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala caused me to live
in times with awareness and knowledge.
So to give you a very quick list,
I have seen the Russian-Cuban missile crisis
in this country, 1962.
I saw the Soviet Union, the USSR, Union
of Soviet Socialist Republics, at its peak, and
I saw it collapse.
It doesn't exist anymore.
I saw the breakup of Pakistan, East and
West Pakistan, and the formation of Bangladesh.
And I saw what happened, now what's happening
in Bangladesh.
I saw the peak of power of Indira
Gandhi, absolute government under emergency in India, and
I saw the assassination of Indira Gandhi.
I saw the assassination of her son, Rajiv
Gandhi.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has shown many,
many things.
I saw the peak of the power in
Iran, of Raza Shah Pahlavi, and the enormous
coronation ceremony of him and his wife, Farah
Diba.
And I saw the same Raza Shah Pahlavi
when he died.
No country would accept the body to be
buried.
Same person, and many more, but I think
this is enough.
That's why I say, live with awareness, keep
your eyes open, and ask Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala, what is it that I'm seeing?
And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala mentioned in
his Kalam, كَمْ تَرَكُوا مِنْ جَنَّاتٍ وَعُيُونٍ وَزُرُوعٍ
وَمَقَامٍ كَرِيمٍ وَالنَّعْمَةٍ كَانُوا فِيهَا فَاكِهِينَ كَذَلِكَ
وَأَوْرَصْنَاهَا قَوْمًا آخَرِينَ فَمَا بَكَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ Who
will even cry?
Who cries for them?
Who even regrets?
Who will shed one tear?
فَمَا بَكَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ أَلْسَّمَاءُ وَالْأَرْضُ وَمَا كَانُوا مُنظَرِينَ
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala in Surat Dukhan
Allah said, imagine how many gardens and springs
the tyrants left behind as well as crops
and splendid residences, palaces, and luxuries which they
fully enjoyed.
And so it was.
And we awarded it all to another people.
And neither heaven nor the earth wept over
them, nor was their fate delayed.
In all of the story of so many
things, so many changes, and wallahi, my love
is my witness, no piece of heaven and
no kitta of the earth will shed one
tear for the oppressors.
There will be no regret that the oppression
is over.
And inshallah it will end.
Because this is Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala's
sunnah.
Two things, Allah never gives the entire earth
to anybody.
Whole earth, nobody.
Not Muslim, not non-Muslim, not nobody.
Nobody ever had complete control over the whole
earth, nobody.
And second thing is Allah never gives that
forever.
Never.
Every single empire in history lasted for a
period of time.
The largest empire in the history of mankind
was the British Empire, which at its peak
controlled 25% of the earth's surface, and
it lasted for 400 years.
Today the sign of the British Empire is
the monarch, is the king of England, whose
power is equivalent to the king on a
deck of cards.
He's a tourist attraction.
400 years of rule.
Allah never gives the whole earth to anyone,
and Allah never gives it forever.
And that's why I remind myself and you,
let us focus on what is important.
And what is important is the rida of
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
Nothing else.
The rida of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
And that's why they say, if you get
the whole world, if you have the whole
world, and you do not have Allah, then
what do you have?
And if you lose everything, but you do
not lose Allah, what have you lost?
And that's why Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
said, and I will end with that, كُلُّ
نَفْسٍ ذَائِقَةُ الْمَوْتِ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ السَّعِيدُ
وَالشَّخِيرُ الْمَلِكُ وَالفَخِيرُ Everyone.
كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ذَائِقَةُ الْمَوْتِ فَإِنَّمَا تُوَفَّوْنَا أُجُورَكُمْ يَوْمَ
الْقِيَامَةِ And you will receive your full reward
on the Day of Judgment.
فَغَنْ زُهْزِعَ عَنِ النَّارِ وَأُدْخِلَ الْجَنَّةَ فَقَدْ فَازْ
وَمَا الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا مَتَعُوا الْغُرُوفُ The life
of this world is only deception.
The only deception.
Appearance is deceived.
The story of the Asad dynasty has not
ended.
They may think it ended.
Not ended.
It will end when they face Allah.
It will end when those, millions of them,
of their own brothers and sisters, of our
brothers and sisters, men, women and children, are
slaughtered for no reason.
And they will meet Allah.
And they will ask for what crime they
had been killed.
And every single one of them, Inshallah, is
a Shaheed.
Every single one.
Is a Shaheed.
And in Jannah.
And that is when the account of the
father and son will be settled by Allah.
And the same thing applies to all the
Jabbarin and all the oppressors.
Present, past and future.
Nobody escapes.
Nobody escapes.
Allah is swift in reckoning.
