			surround equal everybody Bismillah Alhamdulillah wa salatu salam ala Rasulillah on earning and Sahid
Ryan, welcome to our little mini series on managing our disagreements insha Allah who will cover a
bit about where disagreements come from, where our hearts should be regarding them, and where our
minds should be in terms of the way out of them the mechanics on managing them in a way that is
pleasing to Allah and His messenger and unifying as best as possible the ranks of the OMA of
Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. So this first episode, I just want to talk about the
phenomenon of disunity to begin with. And this is a wide phenomenon that happens on many different
		
00:00:55 --> 00:01:08
			levels. But Allah subhanho wa Taala he says, well, OSHA, Allahu La Jana NASA, Mata Wahida. If Allah
wanted, he would have made all of humanity a single community.
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:59
			He says, well as Luna mokhtari fina Illa Rahima. Rob Booker, what is the Nuka Cola calm, and they
will never stop deferring. They will never stop disagreeing. They will never stop this uniting all
of those apply. It happens on various levels, they will never stop, except those whom Allah shows
mercy to and that is why He created them. What does this mean? Al Hassan Basa Rahim Allah he
mentioned, both meanings apply here. He created them so that ultimately they would differ meaning he
created them while knowing that they were bound for a differing meaning to examine how they would
react to the disagreements, the differing, the disunity, the divisions, and he created them, to show
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:05
			them mercy. And so this is all part of either Allah subhanho wa Taala as cosmic plan,
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:10
			his creative Well, if you will, he will to create it this way.
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:57
			And also it tells us about Allah's prescriptive well he prescribed for us His mercy. And so this is
our starting point. We don't want to have unreasonable expectations, deferring is going to happen.
But in the middle of this differing we want to be of those whom, what 11 Barbara hamara book right,
except those whom your Lord shows mercy to we want to be recipients of His mercy in this differing
and we want also for people, this same mercy from Allah in the midst of the disagreements, and that
is starting off on the right foot starting off with your heart in the right place. You know, there's
a hadith in Sahih Muslim
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:40
			where savage nebula class or the Allahu Anhu said that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam once
and came from OLALIA a place in Medina and he entered the masjid known as the masjid of their normal
Alia it was the neighborhood that house that family and so that was their Masjid. This Masjid exists
today in Medina it's called mystery Jabba the masjid of response is where Allah responded to certain
to supplications of the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam. This hadith is actually telling that
story. So it says he prayed to rock as Allah historical Salam upon entering this Masuda, benomyl
Alia and then he raised his hands to the skies, and he made long too long supplication. And then he
		
00:03:40 --> 00:04:28
			turned to the Sahara. And he explained, he said, I asked my Lord, to not to destroy my ummah, not
allowing OMA to be destroyed by the women see what I'm forcing him by an external threat and
external enemy, for our autonomy. And Allah promised me that and I asked my Lord and Lady of likoma
TV Senate in Alabama, to not eradicate my OMA by some widespread epidemic. For Afghani, he promised
me that was the aisle to who Elijah Allah but Sir John Boehner home and I asked him that he not
allow their hostility to be against each other. Aggression, hostility against one another. For
Melania, Allah withheld that one from me. So that is our destiny does not mean something dear to
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:39
			Allah, it means we have to actively work to be the exception of this phenomenon that will exist
unfortunately, even within this OMA until the end of time on so many
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:59
			different fronts. And so he says he withheld that one from me. And he revealed to me that they will
differ and dispute and fight to the point that they will take arms against one another and take one
another as captives. He said Ali has Salado
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:10
			Salem and when the sword is pulled out in my own mind it will not be sheathed again violence even
against each other right? It will not be shielded again until the day of judgment.
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:39
			And so it is inevitable Yes, but at the same time notice that the Prophet SAW Salem asked Allah for
otherwise, meaning we are not supposed to be indifferent towards it we should be bothered by it we
should be concerned about it. We should be working towards mitigating it as best we can. We should
be making dua also, this hadith shows us for the unity of this ummah. So let that be our start point
in sha Allah azza wa jal and then we will build on the causes
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:48
			of disunity in our coming episodes in shallow time. It was like located on Salah Llosa know a lot of
kind of the name Hanuman thought it was like ah, Marian said I want to come
