We begin praising Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala while
recognizing we never fully can
and testifying to his
unique oneness and perfection.
And to Muhammad salallahu alaihi wa sallam being
his final final prophet and servant and messenger
and the best of his creation and the
seal of his revelation and the most beloved
of the slaves of Allah to Allah.
After welcoming my brothers and sisters to the
house of Allah azza wa Jal, the mighty
and majestic,
And reminding myself and you with our ultimate
duty of taqwa, to be conscious of him
and doing our level best to keep our
duty to him and our love for him
paramount in our lives.
Brothers and sisters, over the last 7 months,
despite the incredible pain,
I have never felt prouder
of this ummah.
The ummah that has begun to stop feeling
helpless. The ummah that has begun to stop
projecting the entirety of the blame on governments.
The ummah that has begun to own part
of the solution.
And I have also
never felt, as far as I can recall,
closer to the Quran.
You see, you read in the Quran
that Allah raised up Musa, Moses alaihi salaam,
in the palace of pharaoh, and pharaoh has
no idea
what's in store for him.
And likewise,
today we are seeing
the call, the demand to free Palestine
roaring and raging from where people least expect
it at the very heart of the empires
that oppress the Palestinian people.
You read in the Quran that when Musa
alaihi salam reached a dead end,
Allah opened up for him, split open the
ocean and created a new path.
And when all efforts seem to not be
working or not working fast enough,
Allah opens up
the empires
called universities
in Europe and in America
for the sake of ghazah and its people.
From there I want to say that we
must also sober up a little bit and
be honest and recognize
that nothing
will come full circle.
No full meaningful lasting change will happen overnight.
So we have a long road ahead of
us. And on that road, power matters
for many reasons, the most important of which
is the Quran said so.
You know when Allah azza wa Jal spoke
about how he created this world,
and the nature and the order upon which
he structured this universe.
He said, we created the heavens and the
earth over the span of days.
And he embedded into this earth its provisions,
its resources, its means of leverage, its resources
over the span of 4 days.
He could have done it instantly But
perhaps the wisdom here is that he wants
us to recognize
that the way this world functions is that
nothing happens overnight. I put it into here
over the span of 4 days and it
will take you probably longer than that to
extract it
from this world.
I embedded it inside this world over the
span of 4 days but then he said,
and I have made it equally
accessible
to whoever
seeks it.
So you must seek it
but
anyone who seeks
it will get a share of it.
So whether you seek it, resource, power,
for oppression and injustice, you'll get it.
And if you seek it
for pushing back against
injustice
to make this world a better place for
everyone that lives in it, you will get
it. But whoever seeks it gets it.
And this is also why, and I've mentioned
this before, when the early muslims were asked
what happened? Where did the hiccup happen in
the the momentum of this umma?
They said,
this world
leverage worldly leverage
was secured in our hands,
so we were able to use it meaning,
and it did not get into our hearts.
And then later on it seeped into the
hearts. You know, people are infected with the
ills of prosperity. People often say that absolute
power corrupts absolutely. It usually does. But then
he said they said when it seeped into
our hearts, Allah pulled it from our hands.
And so we have an obligation
to master
leverage in this world
while protecting that heart from making this world
the by all end all
while still
prioritizing
the next world above all else.
You know subhanAllah, when you speak about the
story of firaun
throughout the Quran, Allah
didn't just tell us there was a monster
called firaoun and he was ruthless and he
was heartless and he killed babies. He showed
us elaborately,
illustrated for us in detail
that his tyranny was a a system, a
powerful system
that made it possible.
And this is what some of the scholars
call the 5
pillars
of tyranny in the Quran.
All found in the story of Fir'awn. What
are they? The first of them is the
ruthless tyrant. They're represented in Fir'awn. He believes
he's god. He believes he owns this world.
He believes the world is disposable
for his sake.
But that's not just Firaun. Right?
The Zionist project today, they believe they are
God's favorites and that anything
is a measly cost for their
vain, deranged,
genocidal,
supremacist,
racist objectives.
It's that simple.
But that wasn't all. Then there is always
the spineless minister.
The one who grovels at the feet of
the tyrant
and justifies for them their every delusion
and does not bat an eye at living
at the highest or should I say the
lowest pit of hypocrisy and double standards.
Pharaoh tells Haman, his minister, build for me
a tower so I can go up and
see the Lord of Moses. Absolutely. You can
go up there. I'll build it for you.
Right?
And in the
in in the world of the Zionist regime
today,
these people
they hate us because they're Jewish. Yeah. Yeah.
Absolutely. It's because you're Jewish.
Right? They are absolutely anti semitic.
Has nothing to do with the actual crimes
you happen to be committing. Right?
It has nothing to do with the fact
that these people are Arabs which means they're
also semitic.
We're gonna forget the fact that all throughout
history,
the Arab world and the Muslim world at
large was a safe haven for Jews from
every other people under which they were persecuted.
Right? Yeah. Yeah. We're gonna just keep batting
just to what? To get my bone that
gets thrown my way, my kickback
for living for someone else's glory. The glory
of the tyrant gets me a bone thrown
my way, and I'm a lowlife like this.
I'm a soulless devil so I'll accept it.
I'll accept scraps.
But then there's a third pillar to tyranny.
That third pillar are the the wealthy tycoons
of the world, the corrupt juggernauts of economy
and commerce
that will spend out of pocket
spend out of pocket
whatever will maintain
the status quo of tyranny and oppression.
Why? Because it serves them.
In the story of Moses and Pharaoh, this
is karun.
And what is, you know, daunting, so painful
about the story of Qarun is that Qarun
was from the people of Moses.
He was from them
and then he became tyrannical against them. He
sided with pharaoh against his own people.
Right? Why?
Because there's money involved and that is his
god.
Right?
And in this day and age by the
way, and in this context and parallel I'm
drawing in the hutba,
the politicians, the spineless ministers
and the tycoons many a times are 1
in the same.
We have no problem perpetuating the most unethical
wars because the more we
validate these wars and sign off on them
and spend money on them, that money is
being spent on weapons
from companies that we are invested in. There's
the bribery that happens on the political level
over the table.
It's legalized under the name of,
lobbying. But under the table, they are stakeholders
in the military industrial complex and the arms
sales, so the the money's coming from me
to me in much higher numbers.
That's in addition to the corporations and the
stakeholders and the donors. Right? The endowers of
the endowments and the entertainers.
Someone brought to my attention a Palestinian rapper
who has not said a word in 7
months.
And the 4th of the pillars of tyranny
are the corrupt clergy,
the people who
manipulate religious language
to strike fear in the people or to
justify for them the tyranny,
Either by what they say or by their
criminal silence, what they refuse to say.
In the story of Musa and Firaun, this
is embodied, represented in the sorcerers.
Of course before they became Muslim, before they
believed and repented.
And nowadays it is in every corrupt religious
leader
that echoes,
parrots the wrong things,
or gags themselves from saying the right things
for the sake of the regime, for the
sake of the injustice and oppression.
And the 5th and final
pillar of tyranny
are the biased media
who will give coverage to whatever will support
the tyrant
and his aims
and give no coverage to anything else.
Think about this. The it's not random. The
Quran gave us all of that for a
reason. Why did it tell us all of
this?
So we may learn from it.
It's not just to point out blame on
others. The Quran is for those who believe
in it.
In the story of Musa and Fir'aun, these
are the announcers.
The Quran says that before the challenge took
place
between Moses and the sorcerers,
announcers basically were flooding the streets
saying to the people,
You gotta see this. Come see this. Aren't
you gonna gather? Aren't you coming to the
stadium?
Right? So why why gather?
So that we can follow the sorcerers,
pharaohs guys,
if they win.
If they are the ones that are triumphant.
In other words what? In case they win,
let's go watch. But if they don't win,
just turn a blind eye, nothing happening here.
Let's keep it moving.
Nobody was killed here. No one was lost
here. No one no crime committed here. There
was no cheating involved here. Right?
And this is the biased media in every
time and every place.
And so every time and in every place,
a person wants to wonder now through this
qur'anic lens,
why is tyranny possible? This is why. There
was a system of power that was built
that bore fruits.
Atrocious fruits but fruits.
Why is it taking so long? Because the
formula hasn't been understood yet. Once you understand
and respect and and engage this formula, then
things will change for you. Don't think it
has to follow your logic.
Not everyone has your logic. You have a
logic of morality.
You have a logic of being principled. You
have a logic of conscience. Not everyone has
that logic.
You know, Muslims in the past
Any concerned person in the past, you know,
few months, they say,
how can it be? How can it be
that in the United States of America, how
can it be logical
that you cannot critique any Jew and the
bill is being passed? They went from the
house now going to the senate even if
that Jew is committing a crime. How can
that be? It's automatically a hate crime to
identify an actual crime
simply because it was committed by a Jew.
It By the way, this would outlaw technically,
logically, this should outlaw the bible.
Right? Because the bible casts some Jews as
murderers
of Jesus Christ, peace be upon him. Right?
How can this be? In a Christian majority
country, how is that logical? Doesn't have to
be logical.
It's called the logic of power. It's called
leverage.
How can it be that the Israeli state
can go on a killing spree
and critiquing that government is not allowed. Like,
you live in a country that in its
founding documents, in the constitution, you have free
speech.
That free speech allows you to critique even
this government,
but you're not allowed to critique a foreign
government
about an act of genocide,
about agreed upon war crimes.
Forget you can't even do it. The United
Nations,
the International Court of Justice is being threatened
right now by US politicians for doing it.
How's that logical? Doesn't have to be logical.
We have to understand the Quran.
The logic of power,
power dynamics.
How is it logical that not just are
our tax dollars
being forced against our will
to another country
where they are not just funding
the killing of innocent men, women, and children,
and more children than anyone, but it's providing
them with free healthcare everyone in Israel gets
and free education. While in this country, the
number one reason for bankruptcy is medical expenses.
And students year over year are being buried
in student debts for their tuitions. How how
can that be?
How is that logical? Doesn't have to be
logical.
It's called leverage.
Whoever seeks leverage will find it. Allah has
said that.
Equally
accessible
to those who seek it.
Brothers and sisters, you know a few short
years ago, and it's ongoing,
up until now
there are 38
states in this country,
including the state in which you're in, either
because bills were passed or due to executive
orders,
where there are what
are known as anti BDS laws, boycotting, divestment,
sanction calls are illegal.
You sign off on that and many of
you sitting in front of me in certain
health networks and otherwise have actually signed on
this whether you're at the fine print or
not. That you could get in trouble, you
could lose your job if you saw if
you suggest in your private life on social
media somewhere that we should not use our
money in a certain direction.
Do you know why? Because the Zionist project
saw that power was leaning away from governments
and towards corporations,
so they built leverage within corporate world corporate
America.
40 years before that, they noticed that they
needed to get
into the minds of politicians.
There's no secrets here.
AIPAC is known as the American Israeli Public
Affairs Committee.
It is basically the bribery commission for the
genocide
project. That's what it is.
What do they do? They ensure
that whoever is in politics, the right or
the left,
they will still prioritize the interests
of the Zionists
over the interests of those who voted them
in, over their own people. They noticed this.
They clocked it. And so I'm gonna spend
a $1,000,000,000 in lobbying. I'm gonna get every
few months if a war breaks out another
$14,000,000,000
another $14,000,000,000
They saw it. Right? Pointing blame is not
gonna do anything. I'm telling you almost for
a second, respect
that they respect the process.
Do you know what happened 40 years before
1963?
In 1924,
brothers and sisters,
100 years ago as we stand here in
20 20
4, they established the World Union of Jewish
Students,
Zionist Jewish Students.
And they picked the intellectuals of the world
to lead it. The first president was Albert
Einstein.
The vice president was a man by the
name of Chaim Weizmann
who was a world renowned chemist that the
whole world respected because he was a contributor
to the chemicals needed for World War 1.
And he becomes the 1st ever president in
the state of Israel at 1948.
They put together this world union of Jewish
do you understand why now? Do you understand
why they are losing their mind and scrambling
like chickens without their heads today when Allah
without us,
Allah gave us a free gift.
Some leverage that we didn't even do by
coordination.
And it's now it's collapsing from within the
university space.
Rewind another 30 years.
In 18/96,
the state of Israel, the white paper, was
a publication by a man who made headway
in the world of media.
His name was Theodore Herzl.
He was a journalist but a diplomat.
And so do you understand why now there
are 100 and
30 years of investment
in mainstream media, journalism and mainstream channels
is driving them crazy that Allah caught them
off guard. Right? The way he caught Farawn
off guard. And social media has ruined this
whole thing For them, they no longer control
the monopoly on mainstream media they've been building
for a 130 years.
That is why social media made a difference.
And so Allah sent us a few gifts.
Allah
sent us a few fruits. Allah
moved us forward, but there's a long road
ahead of us. I simply say understand the
Quran
to engage that playing field. And only after
we respect this process
and accept that it's a long road and
we we start to walk on that road,
only then can we say
that there is no Barakah in their efforts.
That we don't even need to do as
much as them because we have justice on
our side and we have the ultimate good
on our side and if we have Allah,
we have all we need. But Allah told
us respect this process.
May Allah
grant us knowledge that benefits us and benefit
us of that which he has taught us
and propel us forward as people of the
Quran that understand the dynamics of the world
through the Quran And understand the priority of
the hereafter through the Quran. And understand the
blessing of being part of this ummah through
the Quran. And may Allah
gather us upon good with the people of
Gaza and the people of Palestine and the
people of Sudan and the people of Turkmenistan
and the people suffering everywhere and have us
meet them on the day of judgment and
say we did our our part. We tried
our best.
