00:00:13 --> 00:00:16
			Brothers, assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:19
			Before we commence, can I ask everybody to
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:21
			just come to the front, please?
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:24
			Please move forward.
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:30
			I always say when people sit at the
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:31
			back, it's a quick exit.
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			We don't want a quick exit.
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:36
			We want you to remain as long as
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
			possible in the masjid.
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:41
			Come sit forward, please, so that those that
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:42
			come in, and they do not have to
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:44
			climb over you to get to the gaps
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:44
			in front.
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:49
			This is highly appreciated, jazakumullahu khairan.
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:57
			And the other thing is, even if you
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:59
			come to the first Safiyyah, I do not
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:00
			bite, don't worry.
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:05
			But khairu sufufu ar-rijal, awwaluha.
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:07
			The best of lines and saf for the
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:11
			men is the first, and so it will
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:11
			follow.
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:14
			That is a statement of Rasulullah, sallallahu alayhi
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:16
			wa alihi wa sallam.
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:20
			Jazakumullahu khairan.
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:23
			Please, come forward and fill the gaps.
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:27
			Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem.
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:31
			In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:31
			Merciful.
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:35
			Alhumdulillahi rabbil alameen.
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:40
			Wasalatu wasalamu ala ashrafil anbiya wal mursaleen.
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:44
			Sayyidina wa nabiyyina wa habibina wa shafiyyina wa
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:48
			mawlana Muhammad, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam wa ala
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50
			alihi wa ashabihi ajma'in.
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:55
			All praise is due to Allah, subhanahu wa
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:59
			ta'ala, who guided us to this beautiful
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:00
			true religion of Islam.
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:06
			And therefore we testify that none is worthy
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08
			of worship except Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:09
			alone.
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:10
			He has no partner.
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:15
			We also testify that Muhammad, sallallahu alayhi wa
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:19
			sallam, is a servant, the messenger of Allah,
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:20
			subhanahu wa ta'ala, who was sent with
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:21
			the truth.
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:26
			A bringer of good news, a warner.
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:32
			Muhammad, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, delivered his message,
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:38
			discharged his obligations, advised the people, and we
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:39
			are the witness to that.
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:43
			May Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala's choices, blessings,
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:48
			mercy, salutations, love and compassion be on our
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:51
			beloved Prophet Muhammad, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, his
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:55
			family and friends, and those who follow in
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:57
			their guidance until the day of judgment.
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:06
			Beloved brothers and sisters, respected elders, respected viewers,
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:09
			listeners, I greet you with a wonderful greeting
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:09
			of Islam.
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:13
			As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi ta'ala wa
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:14
			barakatuhu.
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:19
			Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, at the beginning
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:22
			of Surah Al-Mulk, says to us very
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:25
			clearly, ba'da a'udhu billahi minash shaitanir rajim,
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:29
			tabaraka allathee biyadihi al-mulk wa huwa ala
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:34
			kulli shayin qadeer, allathee khalaqa al-mawta walhayata
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:39
			liyabluwakum ayyukum ahsanu amala wa huwa al-azizu
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:41
			al-ghafoor, sadaqallahu al-azim.
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:47
			Blessed is he in whose hands is the
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:52
			kingdom, and he has power over all things.
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:57
			He, Allah, who created death and life, that
		
00:03:57 --> 00:04:01
			he may try which one of you is
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:03
			the best in deeds, and he is the
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:06
			mighty, the most forgiving.
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:09
			Here, the almighty Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala,
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:13
			informs us that he is the owner of
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:17
			the entire kingdom, the sovereign of the heavens
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:18
			and the earth.
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:24
			Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, creating us with
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:27
			a purpose in life, and the aim is
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:30
			clearly stated in the Holy Quran, wa maa
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:34
			khalaqatu al-jinna wal-insa illa liyabudoon, I
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:36
			have created jinn, I have created men, only
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:40
			that they should adore me, Allah, subhanahu wa
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:40
			ta'ala.
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:44
			And thus, the almighty Allah, subhanahu wa ta
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:47
			'ala, made life in this world as a
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:49
			test, as an exam for all of us.
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:55
			And whosoever succeed and pass the exam in
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:58
			this world will be successful by Allah, subhanahu
		
00:04:58 --> 00:04:58
			wa ta'ala.
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:03
			But those who fail the exam, they know
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:05
			what the consequence will be the day of
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:05
			judgment.
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:11
			Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, when Allah created
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:14
			man, Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, gave us
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:20
			the ability, the ability of choice, to choose
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:22
			what is right and what is wrong, what
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:23
			is halal and what is haram.
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:28
			We have been given that choice and no
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:31
			other creature that Allah has created was given
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:32
			that particular choice.
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:37
			I give you one simple example in terms
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:41
			of choice, and that is as the new
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:48
			year, 2025, January, was ushered in, there was
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:51
			also the month of Rajab that was ushered
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:51
			in.
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:53
			What choice did we make?
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:58
			Yet Allah gave us the choice to regard
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:03
			the sanctity of the month of Rajab, or
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:06
			are you more concerned about the 1st of
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:08
			January, which is new years, 2025.
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:12
			Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, gave us the
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:13
			choice.
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:17
			Unlike the cattle, unlike the other creatures that
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:22
			Allah created, everything else that Allah created was
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:25
			created for the benefit of man, something we
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:26
			might not realize.
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:31
			But if we listen to Surah Ibrahim, verse
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:36
			32 to verse 34, Allah, subhanahu wa ta
		
00:06:36 --> 00:07:04
			'ala, says, وَإِن
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:10
			تَعُدُّوا نِعْمَةَ اللَّهِ لَا تَحْصُوهَا إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ لَظَلُومٌ
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:13
			كَفَّارٌ Listen to this beautiful verse.
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:16
			This verse that Allah tells us that everything
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:19
			was created for us as human beings.
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:21
			Allah is He who created the heavens and
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:24
			the earth, sent down the water from the
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:27
			clouds, then brought forth with it the fruits
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:30
			and the sustenance that He gave to you,
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:31
			oh man.
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:35
			He has made the ship subservient to sail
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:38
			in the ocean for you, oh man.
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:41
			He has made subservient to you the sun
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:45
			and moon so that they follow their causes.
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:50
			He has made subservient to you, man, night
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:51
			and day.
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:55
			He gave you all that you asked for.
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:59
			And even if you want to count or
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:02
			analyze one ni'mah of Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:05
			'ala and dissect it, you will never be
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:07
			able to do justice to it.
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:11
			Truly, Allah says, verily man is very unjust
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:13
			and very ungrateful.
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:15
			May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala keep us
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:16
			protected.
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:19
			And let us not be of those whom
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:21
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala even commanded the
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:25
			angels to bow down to Nabi Adam a
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:31
			.s. The angels, the malaika, to bow down
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:32
			to man.
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:36
			And yet we know they followed the command
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:39
			except the one who was arrogant, the one
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:41
			who was haughty, the one who said, أنا
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:44
			خير من, I am better than him.
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:45
			Why?
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:49
			خَلَقْتَنِي مِن نَارٍ وَخَلَقْتَهُ مِن دِينٍ You have
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:52
			created me from fire and you've created him
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:52
			from clay.
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:57
			What is man doing today?
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:00
			How do they behave today?
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:03
			The superior complex that they have.
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:06
			It is not, نَوْمَ خَلَقْتَنِي مِن نَارٍ وَخَلَقْتَهُ
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:10
			مِن دِينٍ Today the superior complex is, I
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:12
			have more money than you, I have more
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:14
			authority than you, I am better than you.
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:17
			That is what's happening today.
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:21
			The same that Iblis did at the time
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:24
			of the creation of Nabi Adam a.s.
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:28
			We have become, so many of us have
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:32
			become so arrogant that we still look down
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:34
			on other people today and that is one
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:37
			of our downfalls as this Ummah of Muhammad
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:43
			s.a.w. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:48
			says, وَالْأَرْضَ وَضَعَهَا لِلْأَنَامِ in Surah Ar-Rahman,
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:52
			the earth Allah has made for all loving
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:52
			creatures.
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:57
			Today you find some of the creation of
		
00:09:57 --> 00:10:00
			Allah, of human beings, they believe that they
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:02
			are the only ones who have the right
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:04
			to live on this earth and nobody else
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:05
			because of their superiority.
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:08
			Are they not the brothers of shaitan?
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:13
			Whatever Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has placed
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:18
			on this earth, all loving creatures is for
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:20
			us as human beings to enjoy that Allah
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:22
			subhanahu wa ta'ala has created us.
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:26
			Allah placed us on this earth to test
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:27
			us all.
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:31
			We must ask ourselves, are we in a
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:34
			position to analyze if we are passing the
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:36
			test that Allah has placed us because Allah
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:41
			says, لِيَبْلُوَكُمْ أَيُّكُمْ أَحْسَنُ عَمَلًا Allah is talking
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:42
			about our deeds.
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:47
			Ask yourself, are we really in that position
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:49
			to say that our deeds is right by
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:50
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala?
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:55
			Now you see, when you see the arrogant,
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:58
			the walking ones or the rejecters of faith,
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:02
			the unbelievers and they come on this earth
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:07
			and they say to the believers that we
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:08
			are better than you.
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:11
			Why can they say that?
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:14
			Because they are proud of who they are.
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:17
			They are proud to be unbelievers.
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:19
			They are proud to be kuffar.
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:24
			We are not proud to be mu'mineen.
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:28
			We must start becoming mu'mins.
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:33
			We must start becoming rabbaniyyun, that we follow
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:35
			Allah and be proud of who we are.
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:38
			Not superiority, no.
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:41
			But be proud of your faith.
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:43
			Be proud that you're a Muslim, that you're
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:44
			a mu'min.
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:46
			We have lost that.
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:51
			We have become shy to be regarded as
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:52
			believers.
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:56
			And with the result, the consequence of that,
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:59
			is that the kuffar they have grown stronger
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:05
			because they have the outlook of unity, how
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:08
			to live together as Muslims.
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:11
			And let us be frank about it.
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:13
			Let us not say that we are being
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:14
			harsh.
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:16
			No, let us be honest.
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:20
			And the honesty is that Muslims have become
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:21
			disunited.
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:25
			And this is why we have become weak.
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:28
			We have not followed the laws of Allah
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:29
			subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:33
			And yet Allah says in surah Hud, هُوَ
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:37
			أَنشَأَكُم مِّنَ الْأَرْضِ وَاسْتَعْمَرَكُمْ فِيهَا فَاسْتَغْثِرُوا Allah
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:38
			brought you into being.
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:41
			Allah gave you this earth to live on,
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:43
			to dwell in it.
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:46
			And therefore, you must show your best deeds.
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:49
			Ask Allah to forgive you and turn to
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:49
			Him.
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:51
			May Allah forgive us all.
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:54
			One of the greatest purposes of our creation
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:59
			is that we became the representative, the khalifatullahi
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:00
			fil ard.
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:05
			A representative that must rule this earth.
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:09
			Not just ruling the earth, but to rule
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:12
			the earth with justice, with love and full
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:13
			striving.
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:17
			And not to abandon the laws of Allah
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:18
			subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:23
			Because if we start abandoning the laws of
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:25
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, we will be
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:29
			afflicted by a people who has no justice
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:31
			in them, who has no mercy or love
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:31
			in them.
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:36
			Today we find we like to point fingers.
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:38
			We like to play the blame game.
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:42
			And this is where we fall short.
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:45
			It is no use we blaming and cursing
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:48
			the unfair ones that is being unfair to
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:48
			us.
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:51
			Because the curse is only going to bounce
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:52
			back to us.
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:56
			Because the real aggressors, my dear brothers and
		
00:13:56 --> 00:13:59
			sisters, believe it or not, is the program
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:00
			of life.
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:05
			It regulates every single affair of men on
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:06
			the foundation of what?
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:08
			Number one, faith.
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:10
			The foundation of morality.
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:12
			The foundation of proper upbringing.
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:15
			The foundation of politics and war.
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:19
			Islam covers the entire spectrum of the human
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:19
			being.
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:24
			So if man, if man conducts himself and
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:27
			his life according to an ideology that is
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:30
			against the sharia of Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:34
			'ala, then naturally, naturally the consequence of that,
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:37
			the kuffar is going to surpass them.
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:40
			And we are supposed to be the people
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:40
			of faith.
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:44
			They will be the successful ones in this
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:45
			world, yes.
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:50
			And if we properly utilize the laws of
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:52
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala that was given
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:55
			to us, then we will be able to
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:57
			surpass them by miles and kilometers.
		
00:14:58 --> 00:15:04
			They discovered, they discovered that in unity lies
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:04
			their strength.
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:08
			And thus pointing out to us that in
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:11
			our disunity lies our weakness.
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:14
			Look at what's happening today amongst ourselves.
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:16
			And I said let us be frank and
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:16
			let us be truthful.
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:21
			There's fights happening.
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:25
			People are being called kuffar simply because they
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:28
			don't adhere to the way you think.
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:32
			We have Salafis, we have Sufis, we have
		
00:15:32 --> 00:15:35
			Sunnis, we have Shias, we have Ismailis, we
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:36
			have them all.
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:40
			And one regard themselves as better than the
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:40
			other.
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:43
			And all these groups are jumping up from
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:45
			one, they're mushrooming all over the place.
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:47
			And one thinks they are better than the
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:48
			other.
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:52
			When the foundation is shahadatu an la ilaha
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:56
			illallah wa anna muhammadan rasoolallah salallahu alayhi wasalam
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:56
			Why?
		
00:15:57 --> 00:15:59
			Why are we fighting each other?
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:01
			Publicly, social media.
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:03
			We go on social media and we call
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:04
			one another kafir.
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:07
			Simply because you don't adhere to what I
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:09
			say and you don't dress the way I
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:09
			dress.
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:12
			Come now my dear brothers and sisters.
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:14
			Is this what Islam is about?
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:17
			They have pointed out our weakness.
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:19
			So when the people of faith, they want
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:23
			to complain, then let us complain about our
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:24
			own shortcomings.
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:29
			Our own alienation from the laws of Allah
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:30
			subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:33
			It is no use, no use blaming the
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:34
			enemy today.
		
00:16:34 --> 00:16:37
			Because all the enemy is doing, they are
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:41
			preparing themselves to the opponent which is Islam.
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:44
			They prepare themselves, whether they are plotting and
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:48
			planning, spying, whatever they are doing, backbiting, whatever.
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:50
			But they plan.
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:52
			They plan against Islam.
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:53
			And they have a long term plan for
		
00:16:53 --> 00:16:54
			us.
		
00:16:55 --> 00:16:57
			The blame should be laid at our doorstep,
		
00:16:57 --> 00:17:00
			my dear brothers and sisters, for those who
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:02
			were given the program of success in life.
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:04
			Allah gave us a successful program.
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:07
			Yet we decide not to use it.
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:09
			What are we going to say to rasoolallah
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:12
			salallahu alayhi wasalam the day of qiyamah, when
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:16
			rasoolallah salallahu alayhi wasalam says, يَا رَبِّ إِنَّ
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:22
			قَوْمِهِ اتَّخَذُ هَذَا الْقُرْآنَ مَهْجُورًا Oh my lord,
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:27
			Allah, my people, my people, my followers, they
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:30
			have ignored the holy Quran.
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:31
			What are we going to say?
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:33
			Isn't that a true statement?
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:37
			Isn't that a true statement from rasoolallah salallahu
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:37
			alayhi wasalam?
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:39
			If we want to have a quick glance
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:44
			at the affairs of Muslims currently, it does
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:46
			not give us a very optimistic view.
		
00:17:47 --> 00:17:50
			Whether it is locally, whether it is nationally
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:52
			or internationally for that matter.
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:57
			We will see how disunited we have become
		
00:17:57 --> 00:17:58
			and how weak we have become.
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:02
			But remember this, my dear brothers and sisters,
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:05
			and this is the bushra, the glad tidings.
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:08
			Know this from the holy Quran.
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:13
			No matter, no matter how weak we become,
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:19
			we are able and capable of liberating ourselves.
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:21
			And where do we start?
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:24
			We must liberate ourselves from tyranny, from oppression,
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:27
			but the biggest liberation must come from *.
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:29
			Liberate our minds.
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:32
			This is where it needs to start.
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:36
			When you die as a Muslim, be grateful.
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:40
			Because the real success and happiness is to
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:41
			die as a Muslim.
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:43
			May Allah take us on that route inshallah.
		
00:18:44 --> 00:18:48
			Our last being, shahada la ilaha illallah wa
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:51
			anna muhammadan rasulullah salallahu alayhi wasalam.
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:55
			Our beloved prophet, our master, our teacher, Muhammad
		
00:18:55 --> 00:18:57
			salallahu alayhi wasalam.
		
00:18:58 --> 00:19:01
			He taught us the real cause of our
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:01
			weakness.
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:07
			In a beautiful hadith, he says, In a
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:25
			beautiful
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:43
			hadith, he says, They
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:45
			will eat you up like they eat a
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:47
			meal, says the prophet salallahu alayhi wasallam.
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:51
			And then someone says, Ya Rasulullah, are we
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:53
			going to be a few in numbers?
		
00:19:53 --> 00:19:55
			Are we going to be the minority?
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:57
			Prophet salallahu alayhi wasallam says, No, you will
		
00:19:57 --> 00:20:00
			be the majority at the time, but you
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:01
			will be like the foam of the water.
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:04
			Snow, no strength.
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:06
			It's the foam, it can be taken any
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:07
			way it wants.
		
00:20:07 --> 00:20:10
			Look today, they use the Muslims as a
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:12
			ball, they take them any place where they
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:13
			want to and they move around.
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:17
			And then the prophet salallahu alayhi wasallam says,
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:21
			But remember this, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:27
			will place in the hearts of your enemy.
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:28
			What is going to happen?
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:32
			They are not going to fear you any
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:32
			longer.
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:34
			They don't fear us.
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:38
			Yes, you might say, they do fear us
		
00:20:38 --> 00:20:39
			in the long future, but they don't fear
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:40
			us right now.
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:43
			And what is the wahn?
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:46
			Ya Rasulullah, tell us what is wahn?
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:47
			What is apathy?
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:51
			Prophet salallahu alayhi wasallam says, Apathy, my dear
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:52
			brothers, tell me the prophet salallahu alayhi wasallam
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:53
			didn't speak the truth.
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:58
			Al-wahn, love of this world and the
		
00:20:58 --> 00:20:59
			fear of death.
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:00
			Tell me.
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:04
			Sadaq al-rasul salallahu alayhi wasallam our beloved
		
00:21:04 --> 00:21:06
			prophet peace be upon him, spoke the truth.
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:08
			The love of this world.
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:11
			The love of this world and death.
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:14
			Isn't that the two things we fear most
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:14
			today?
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:17
			We want this world, but we fear death.
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:20
			Here the prophet salallahu alayhi wasallam 1400 years
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:21
			ago said this is going to be the
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:22
			state of my ummah.
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:28
			Can't we take the lessons from Rasulullah salallahu
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:28
			alayhi wasallam?
		
00:21:29 --> 00:21:31
			Does it mean that we just wish our
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:33
			death to be with good deeds?
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:34
			No.
		
00:21:35 --> 00:21:37
			Our death should be a means of elevating
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:38
			the words of truth.
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:43
			Our death must mean something to this world.
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:46
			It must be, this world must be a
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:48
			plantation for the year after.
		
00:21:49 --> 00:21:50
			We're not going to live eternally here.
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:52
			Eternal life is in the year after.
		
00:21:54 --> 00:21:56
			Remember this my dear brothers and sisters.
		
00:21:57 --> 00:21:59
			One does not gather from this world as
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:03
			much as possible while completely forgetting the akhira.
		
00:22:04 --> 00:22:08
			Everyone must start with himself.
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:12
			First we need to reform ourselves.
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:14
			We need to criticize ourselves.
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:16
			How many of us have done that?
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:21
			Today it's all about criticizing others.
		
00:22:21 --> 00:22:23
			Let me tell you where it goes.
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:25
			We criticize authorities.
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:27
			We criticize ulama.
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:30
			We criticize the youth.
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:32
			We criticize the western world.
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:33
			We criticize our neighbors.
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:36
			We criticize our family members.
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:37
			We criticize our spouses.
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:39
			We criticize our children.
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:41
			But nobody criticizing themselves.
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:45
			Criticize yourself for a moment.
		
00:22:47 --> 00:22:51
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala condemned the ulama
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:53
			of Bani Israel in the Quran.
		
00:22:54 --> 00:23:01
			أَتَأْمُرُونَ النَّاسَ بِالْبِرِّ وَتَنْسَوْنَ أَنفُسَكُمْ Do you enjoin
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:05
			good on men and neglect your own self?
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:08
			You want to tell others what to do
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:09
			but you forget yourself.
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:14
			Imam Ali رضي الله عنه وأرضاه رضي الله
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:16
			عنه وأرضاه He used to say to his
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:21
			people in his sermons The teacher of himself
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:26
			and the admonisher of himself is more worthy
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:30
			of honor and respect than the one who
		
00:23:30 --> 00:23:32
			teaches and admonishes other people.
		
00:23:33 --> 00:23:34
			Beautiful words.
		
00:23:34 --> 00:23:35
			Beautiful words.
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:37
			I will repeat it.
		
00:23:38 --> 00:23:42
			The teacher of himself and the admonisher of
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:46
			himself is more worthy of honor and respect
		
00:23:46 --> 00:23:49
			than the one who teaches and admonishes other
		
00:23:49 --> 00:23:49
			people.
		
00:23:50 --> 00:23:55
			If we want reform, if we want development,
		
00:23:55 --> 00:23:58
			we must first study our own situation.
		
00:23:59 --> 00:24:01
			All facets of life.
		
00:24:02 --> 00:24:05
			And when we have done that, and then
		
00:24:05 --> 00:24:08
			we free ourselves from oppression and then we
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:09
			move forward.
		
00:24:09 --> 00:24:12
			And then we will understand what Allah says
		
00:24:12 --> 00:24:15
			إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُغَيِّرُ مَا بِقَوْمٍ حَتَّى يُغَيِّرُ
		
00:24:15 --> 00:24:19
			مَا بِأَنفُسِهِمْ Surely Allah is not going to
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:22
			change the condition of man unless he changes
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:23
			his own condition.
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:25
			So where do we start?
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:27
			We start from here.
		
00:24:29 --> 00:24:32
			Didn't the Prophet ﷺ say to us أَلَا
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:36
			وَإِنَّ فِي الْجَسَدِ لَمُضْغَةٌ In this body there
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:36
			is a lump.
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:42
			إِذَا صَلَحَتْ صَلَحَ الْجَسَدُ كُلُّ If that lump
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:44
			is right the whole body will be right
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:45
			and your actions will be right.
		
00:24:46 --> 00:24:49
			وَإِذَا فَسَدَتْ فَسَدَتْ الْجَسَدُ كُلُّ And if that
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:51
			heart is not right the whole body will
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:53
			not be right your deeds will also not
		
00:24:53 --> 00:24:54
			be right.
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:56
			So it starts with the heart.
		
00:24:56 --> 00:24:59
			What did Rasulullah ﷺ say?
		
00:24:59 --> 00:25:01
			He pointed to his heart three times and
		
00:25:01 --> 00:25:06
			he says أَلْتَقْوَهَا هُنَا أَلْتَقْوَهَا هُنَا It is
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:06
			in your heart.
		
00:25:07 --> 00:25:08
			This is where we have to start.
		
00:25:08 --> 00:25:10
			We have to look at our hearts.
		
00:25:10 --> 00:25:11
			This is where Allah looks at.
		
00:25:12 --> 00:25:13
			Allah looks at our hearts.
		
00:25:15 --> 00:25:17
			We want to carry out the laws of
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:19
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala on this earth.
		
00:25:19 --> 00:25:22
			We must manifest the laws of the Quran
		
00:25:22 --> 00:25:25
			and inculcate it in our own lives.
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:30
			Because I'll tell you why.
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:34
			The one who does not possess something cannot
		
00:25:34 --> 00:25:35
			give it to others.
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:39
			Because if you only have 10 rand in
		
00:25:39 --> 00:25:41
			your pocket you can't give 20 rand, you
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:41
			can only give 10.
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:45
			So if you don't possess something how can
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:46
			you give it to others?
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:53
			And therefore we have to convince ourselves to
		
00:25:53 --> 00:25:55
			the conviction of our Iman.
		
00:25:57 --> 00:26:00
			Nabi ﷺ he reared a generation of people,
		
00:26:01 --> 00:26:01
			of believers.
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:05
			When a verse was revealed and there was
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:08
			a command in it they executed that command.
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:11
			If there was prohibition in it, they stayed
		
00:26:11 --> 00:26:12
			away from it.
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:15
			Taught them how to love the Quran.
		
00:26:18 --> 00:26:20
			And this is how we have to fight
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:21
			ourselves.
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:22
			Our own soul.
		
00:26:24 --> 00:26:26
			Try and picture Rasulullah ﷺ.
		
00:26:28 --> 00:26:31
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says, وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا
		
00:26:31 --> 00:26:35
			عَلَيْكُمْ أَنفُسَكُمْ لَا يَضُرُّكُمْ مَنْ ضَلَّ إِذَا اهْتَدَيْتُمْ
		
00:26:37 --> 00:26:39
			O you who believe, take care of your
		
00:26:39 --> 00:26:40
			own souls.
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:42
			Allah didn't tell me to take care of
		
00:26:42 --> 00:26:44
			your soul or you take care of my
		
00:26:44 --> 00:26:44
			soul.
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:47
			Allah said take care of your own souls.
		
00:26:48 --> 00:26:54
			He who cannot hurt you because Allah subhanahu
		
00:26:54 --> 00:26:57
			wa ta'ala is the one who will
		
00:26:57 --> 00:26:58
			call us back to him.
		
00:26:59 --> 00:27:01
			Allah made us shuhada ala al-nas.
		
00:27:02 --> 00:27:05
			Allah made us the witnesses of mankind.
		
00:27:06 --> 00:27:12
			And Rasulullah ﷺ وَيَكُونَ الرَّسُولُ عَلَيْكُمْ شَهِدًا Do
		
00:27:12 --> 00:27:13
			you know where our remedy lies?
		
00:27:14 --> 00:27:17
			Our remedy lies within our Quran.
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:20
			The Quran that we have neglected.
		
00:27:22 --> 00:27:26
			وَنُنَزِّلُ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ مَا هُوَ شِفَاءٌ وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
		
00:27:26 --> 00:27:28
			We read this when somebody is sick.
		
00:27:29 --> 00:27:31
			He has a physical illness.
		
00:27:31 --> 00:27:34
			But the Quran is a remedy to those
		
00:27:34 --> 00:27:36
			who have the spiritual illness as well.
		
00:27:37 --> 00:27:42
			شِفَاءٌ لِّمَا فِي الصِّدُورِ شِفَاءٌ لِّمَا فِي الصِّدُورِ
		
00:27:42 --> 00:27:42
			What is in the heart.
		
00:27:43 --> 00:27:46
			The remedy and the ailment lies in our
		
00:27:46 --> 00:27:47
			own hands.
		
00:27:47 --> 00:27:49
			And we don't seem to recognize it.
		
00:27:50 --> 00:27:52
			And we don't use it.
		
00:27:52 --> 00:27:55
			We disregarding the very medicine that Allah subhanahu
		
00:27:55 --> 00:27:57
			wa ta'ala has given us to cure
		
00:27:57 --> 00:27:58
			ourselves.
		
00:27:59 --> 00:28:03
			When we become a diseased, ridden people, other
		
00:28:03 --> 00:28:05
			people look at us and they say, this
		
00:28:05 --> 00:28:06
			is the time we can attack.
		
00:28:09 --> 00:28:13
			Good health through our belief, through our conduct,
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:15
			through our morals, through our society.
		
00:28:16 --> 00:28:19
			That is what we can be testimony to.
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:23
			It is imperative, my dear brothers and sisters,
		
00:28:23 --> 00:28:26
			that we not be divided amongst ourselves into
		
00:28:26 --> 00:28:29
			little groups and parties and attacking one another.
		
00:28:30 --> 00:28:31
			Unnecessary.
		
00:28:31 --> 00:28:32
			We are Muslims.
		
00:28:33 --> 00:28:35
			We believe in Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:28:35 --> 00:28:38
			We read our kalim and our truthfulness and
		
00:28:38 --> 00:28:41
			we believe in the Holy Quran and Rasulullah
		
00:28:41 --> 00:28:42
			sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
		
00:28:43 --> 00:28:44
			Division.
		
00:28:45 --> 00:28:48
			Division amongst Muslims is only a phase, yes.
		
00:28:49 --> 00:28:50
			It is only a phase that we are
		
00:28:50 --> 00:28:51
			going through.
		
00:28:51 --> 00:28:55
			But we need to rectify that phase and
		
00:28:55 --> 00:28:57
			come back to the basics of the Quran.
		
00:28:58 --> 00:29:00
			And what is the basics of the Quran?
		
00:29:01 --> 00:29:05
			Our primary objective is to first call ourselves
		
00:29:05 --> 00:29:07
			to the truth and then we call others
		
00:29:07 --> 00:29:08
			to it.
		
00:29:10 --> 00:29:13
			Let us harbor good feelings towards one another.
		
00:29:15 --> 00:29:18
			And husn al-dhan, to think good of
		
00:29:18 --> 00:29:19
			others is important.
		
00:29:20 --> 00:29:22
			We are always thinking worse of others.
		
00:29:23 --> 00:29:26
			And you know, our beloved Prophet Muhammad sallallahu
		
00:29:26 --> 00:29:29
			alayhi wa sallam, rahmatan lil'alameen.
		
00:29:29 --> 00:29:32
			And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says, fabima
		
00:29:32 --> 00:29:34
			rahmatin min Allahi linta lahum.
		
00:29:35 --> 00:29:39
			walaw kunta fadhan ghaleeda alqalbi lam faddu min
		
00:29:39 --> 00:29:39
			hawlik.
		
00:29:40 --> 00:29:42
			Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
		
00:29:42 --> 00:29:43
			This is in the Quran.
		
00:29:43 --> 00:29:46
			It is part of the mercy of Allah
		
00:29:46 --> 00:29:48
			that thou deal gently with them.
		
00:29:49 --> 00:29:50
			He used to deal gently even with the
		
00:29:50 --> 00:29:51
			kuffar of Quraysh.
		
00:29:52 --> 00:29:55
			Have you been, O Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa
		
00:29:55 --> 00:29:56
			sallam, harsh hearted?
		
00:29:57 --> 00:29:59
			They would have broken away and left you
		
00:29:59 --> 00:29:59
			alone.
		
00:30:01 --> 00:30:04
			Today, look at what we do to our
		
00:30:04 --> 00:30:06
			own children in the masajid.
		
00:30:07 --> 00:30:09
			We'll pull their ears, we'll throw them to
		
00:30:09 --> 00:30:10
			the back, we'll be harsh to them.
		
00:30:11 --> 00:30:12
			That is just in the masjid.
		
00:30:13 --> 00:30:15
			That alone amongst ourselves in our homes.
		
00:30:16 --> 00:30:17
			How do we speak?
		
00:30:18 --> 00:30:19
			Where is the rahma?
		
00:30:20 --> 00:30:23
			Where is the kindness that we speak to
		
00:30:23 --> 00:30:23
			one another?
		
00:30:24 --> 00:30:25
			Spouses with one another?
		
00:30:25 --> 00:30:27
			Families amongst one another?
		
00:30:27 --> 00:30:28
			Where is the rahma?
		
00:30:29 --> 00:30:31
			And yet, because of our harsh heartedness, people
		
00:30:31 --> 00:30:32
			are moving away.
		
00:30:33 --> 00:30:35
			How can you call people to Allah in
		
00:30:35 --> 00:30:37
			a manner that is not befitting of a
		
00:30:37 --> 00:30:38
			Muslim?
		
00:30:38 --> 00:30:42
			ادعو إلى سبيل ربك بالحكمة والموعظة الحسنة When
		
00:30:42 --> 00:30:43
			you call people to what is right and
		
00:30:43 --> 00:30:45
			to Allah, then do it with wisdom.
		
00:30:47 --> 00:30:48
			Do it with wisdom.
		
00:30:49 --> 00:30:51
			And do it with good exhortation.
		
00:30:51 --> 00:30:52
			Do it with kindness.
		
00:30:53 --> 00:30:54
			Why must you be harsh?
		
00:30:55 --> 00:30:58
			And therefore, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says
		
00:30:58 --> 00:31:01
			very clearly, let us not abandon the laws
		
00:31:01 --> 00:31:02
			of Allah.
		
00:31:03 --> 00:31:05
			Let us be gentle towards one another.
		
00:31:05 --> 00:31:09
			Let us be noble towards one another.
		
00:31:09 --> 00:31:13
			Because the highest stage of a mu'min is
		
00:31:13 --> 00:31:17
			to say, لا إله إلا الله محمد رسول
		
00:31:17 --> 00:31:20
			الله and love Allah sincerely from your heart.
		
00:31:21 --> 00:31:24
			But if you turn away and we continue
		
00:31:24 --> 00:31:27
			showing the disobedience to Allah and Rasul Allah
		
00:31:27 --> 00:31:31
			ﷺ, I want you to remember this.
		
00:31:31 --> 00:31:36
			These last few words, Allah says, وَإِن تَتَوَلَّوا
		
00:31:36 --> 00:31:39
			يَسْتَبْدِلْ قَوْمًا غَيْرَكُمْ يَسْتَبْدِلْ قَوْمًا غَيْرَكُمْ ثُمَّ لَا
		
00:31:39 --> 00:31:42
			يَكُونُ أَمْثَالَكُمْ ثُمَّ لَا يَكُونُ أَمْثَالَكُمْ And if
		
00:31:42 --> 00:31:45
			you turn away from Allah, Allah can replace
		
00:31:45 --> 00:31:48
			you with a people who will then be
		
00:31:48 --> 00:31:51
			different to you who will obey Allah subhanahu
		
00:31:51 --> 00:31:51
			wa ta'ala.
		
00:31:51 --> 00:31:54
			May Allah protect us, guide us all inshaAllah.
		
00:31:54 --> 00:31:57
			I know there's some young people with a
		
00:31:57 --> 00:32:00
			lot of anxiety waiting for the 14th to
		
00:32:00 --> 00:32:02
			come so they may have a good result
		
00:32:02 --> 00:32:02
			inshaAllah.
		
00:32:03 --> 00:32:04
			We make du'a that they have good
		
00:32:04 --> 00:32:06
			results and matriculants inshaAllah.
		
00:32:06 --> 00:32:08
			We make du'a that Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:32:08 --> 00:32:09
			ta'ala protect our brothers and sisters wherever
		
00:32:09 --> 00:32:11
			they might find themselves in difficulty.
		
00:32:12 --> 00:32:13
			May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala bring victory
		
00:32:13 --> 00:32:15
			to those who are fighting the cause of
		
00:32:15 --> 00:32:18
			Islam and may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:32:18 --> 00:32:19
			grant all those that are sick their health
		
00:32:19 --> 00:32:21
			and strength and those that have passed a
		
00:32:21 --> 00:32:22
			high place in Jannah inshaAllah.
		
00:32:23 --> 00:32:35
			وَآخِرُوا دَعْوَانَا عَنَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ As
		
00:32:35 --> 00:32:37
			-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
		
00:32:39 --> 00:32:42
			Everyone is wondering probably where is Sheikh Ismail
		
00:32:42 --> 00:32:43
			Isaacs?
		
00:32:44 --> 00:32:46
			Where is Hafiz Zayn Raja?
		
00:32:47 --> 00:32:50
			Sheikh Ismail Isaacs is on his annual leave.
		
00:32:51 --> 00:32:53
			He comes back to the masjid after the
		
00:32:53 --> 00:32:56
			school opens which is in the week of
		
00:32:56 --> 00:32:58
			the 20th or somewhere there.
		
00:32:58 --> 00:32:59
			He comes back.
		
00:32:59 --> 00:33:04
			Hafiz Zayn Raja is presently out of town
		
00:33:04 --> 00:33:07
			in George and those who are golfers you
		
00:33:07 --> 00:33:09
			know what they do in George.
		
00:33:12 --> 00:33:15
			We take the opportunity of thanking our beloved
		
00:33:15 --> 00:33:22
			Sheikh Mohammad Murad for rendering a very thought
		
00:33:22 --> 00:33:25
			provoking topical talk.
		
00:33:26 --> 00:33:31
			Well researched well prepared and it's always a
		
00:33:31 --> 00:33:35
			great pleasure to have him with us and
		
00:33:35 --> 00:33:39
			he knows that Masjid al-Furqan and Islamia
		
00:33:39 --> 00:33:41
			Masjid is his home.
		
00:33:42 --> 00:33:45
			And we hope that will still be the
		
00:33:45 --> 00:33:47
			case because he's been asking us all to
		
00:33:47 --> 00:33:49
			make dua for his son who is also
		
00:33:49 --> 00:33:52
			here whose results are coming out next week
		
00:33:52 --> 00:33:53
			from Madrid.
		
00:33:53 --> 00:33:54
			Inshallah.
		
00:33:55 --> 00:33:57
			We also plead to this jamaat to make
		
00:33:57 --> 00:34:00
			dua for our matriculants who have been with
		
00:34:00 --> 00:34:02
			us for all the years.
		
00:34:03 --> 00:34:04
			Their results are coming out.
		
00:34:04 --> 00:34:06
			It's a very important result.
		
00:34:07 --> 00:34:09
			And we make dua that Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:34:09 --> 00:34:10

00:34:10 --> 00:34:14
			very well as Islamia College does annually.
		
00:34:16 --> 00:34:19
			We've been asked by Mawlana Qutb-ud-Din
		
00:34:19 --> 00:34:24
			from the Habibiyah Masjid to announce that they
		
00:34:24 --> 00:34:27

00:34:42 --> 00:34:46

00:34:46 --> 00:34:51
			Sheikh Mohammed Murad after the khutbah in performing
		
00:34:51 --> 00:34:51
			the salah.
		
00:34:51 --> 00:34:52
			Jazakallah khair.
		
00:41:19 --> 00:41:19

00:42:20 --> 00:42:22

00:43:16 --> 00:43:19

00:43:25 --> 00:43:25

00:43:25 --> 00:43:29

00:43:29 --> 00:43:30

00:44:06 --> 00:44:07

00:44:07 --> 00:44:09
			Indeed, in the body is disgust.
		
00:44:10 --> 00:44:12
			If it is good, the whole body is
		
00:44:12 --> 00:44:12
			good.
		
00:44:13 --> 00:44:16
			And if it is corrupt, the whole body
		
00:44:16 --> 00:44:16
			is corrupt.
		
00:44:17 --> 00:44:20
			Unquestionably, it is the heart, or as the
		
00:44:20 --> 00:44:21
			Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon
		
00:44:21 --> 00:44:21
			him, said.
		
00:44:22 --> 00:44:24
			The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him
		
00:44:24 --> 00:44:28
			and his family, said, Allah, the Exalted, does
		
00:44:28 --> 00:44:32
			not look at your images and your bodies,
		
00:44:32 --> 00:44:37
			but Allah, the Exalted, looks at your hearts
		
00:44:37 --> 00:44:39
			and your deeds.
		
00:44:40 --> 00:44:42
			The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him,
		
00:44:42 --> 00:44:44
			said, and he pointed to his chest three
		
00:44:44 --> 00:44:50
			times, Taqwa is here, Taqwa is here, Taqwa
		
00:44:50 --> 00:44:50
			is here.
		
00:44:51 --> 00:44:54
			So change, O servants of Allah, begins with
		
00:44:54 --> 00:44:55
			the heart.
		
00:44:56 --> 00:44:59
			So change, O servants of Allah, begins with
		
00:44:59 --> 00:44:59
			the heart.
		
00:44:59 --> 00:45:02
			Indeed, that is in the body.
		
00:45:03 --> 00:45:07
			Allah, the Exalted, said in His Noble Book,
		
00:45:07 --> 00:45:09
			after I seek refuge with Allah from the
		
00:45:09 --> 00:45:13
			accursed Satan, O you who have believed, fear
		
00:45:13 --> 00:45:16
			Allah as He should be feared, and you
		
00:45:16 --> 00:45:18
			will not die except as Muslims.
		
00:45:19 --> 00:45:20
			And hold fast to the rope of Allah,
		
00:45:21 --> 00:45:22
			all of you, and be not divided.
		
00:45:22 --> 00:45:24
			And remember the favor of Allah upon you
		
00:45:24 --> 00:45:27
			when you were enemies, and He united your
		
00:45:27 --> 00:45:31
			hearts together, and you became brothers in His
		
00:45:31 --> 00:45:31
			favor.
		
00:45:31 --> 00:45:33
			May Allah benefit you and me through the
		
00:45:33 --> 00:45:34
			Noble Qur'an.
		
00:45:34 --> 00:45:35
			And may He accept His recitation from me
		
00:45:35 --> 00:45:36
			and from you.
		
00:45:37 --> 00:45:39
			Indeed, He is Exalted in Might, Most Generous,
		
00:45:40 --> 00:45:42
			Sovereign, Kind, Merciful, Merciful.
		
00:45:50 --> 00:45:52
			Praise be to Allah as we should praise
		
00:45:52 --> 00:45:53
			and glorify Him.
		
00:45:54 --> 00:45:55
			And we thank Him, the Exalted, for His
		
00:45:55 --> 00:45:57
			goodness, favor, and honor.
		
00:45:58 --> 00:45:59
			And we seek refuge in Him from the
		
00:45:59 --> 00:46:01
			evil of our souls, from the evil of
		
00:46:01 --> 00:46:02
			our deeds, from the incitement of Satan and
		
00:46:02 --> 00:46:03
			his delusions.
		
00:46:03 --> 00:46:04
			And we bear witness that there is no
		
00:46:04 --> 00:46:06
			god but Allah, there is no partner for
		
00:46:06 --> 00:46:06
			Him.
		
00:46:06 --> 00:46:08
			And we bear witness that our Master is
		
00:46:08 --> 00:46:10
			Muhammad, His servant and His Messenger.
		
00:46:10 --> 00:46:12
			As for the rest, O servants of Allah,
		
00:46:12 --> 00:46:14
			fear Allah, the Exalted, and obey Him.
		
00:46:15 --> 00:46:18
			Indeed, obeying Him is more powerful and more
		
00:46:18 --> 00:46:18
			just.
		
00:46:18 --> 00:46:22
			And be of good chastity, and beware of
		
00:46:22 --> 00:46:24
			the reasons for the arrogance of the tyrant.
		
00:46:24 --> 00:46:26
			Indeed, your bodies on the Fire are not
		
00:46:26 --> 00:46:26
			just.
		
00:46:27 --> 00:46:29
			Then know that Allah, the Exalted, said in
		
00:46:29 --> 00:46:33
			His Noble Book, Indeed, Allah and His angels
		
00:46:33 --> 00:46:34
			send blessings upon the Prophet.
		
00:46:34 --> 00:46:37
			O you who have believed, send blessings upon
		
00:46:37 --> 00:46:38
			him and give him peace.
		
00:46:39 --> 00:46:41
			O Allah, send peace and blessings upon our
		
00:46:41 --> 00:46:43
			Master Muhammad, the Owner of the Face, the
		
00:46:43 --> 00:46:44
			Nose, and the Forehead.
		
00:46:45 --> 00:46:46
			And may Allah be pleased with his companions,
		
00:46:46 --> 00:46:49
			Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, and Ali, and with
		
00:46:49 --> 00:46:52
			all the companions of Your Prophet, and with
		
00:46:52 --> 00:46:54
			the followers, and with those who followed them
		
00:46:54 --> 00:47:27
			with good till the Day of Judgment, O
		
00:47:27 --> 00:47:30
			Allah, support our brothers everywhere.
		
00:47:31 --> 00:47:33
			O Allah, support our brothers in Palestine.
		
00:47:33 --> 00:47:35
			O Allah, support our brothers in Syria.
		
00:47:36 --> 00:47:37
			O Allah, support our brothers in Sudan.
		
00:47:38 --> 00:47:39
			O Allah, support the Muslims.
		
00:47:40 --> 00:47:42
			O Allah, protect them, support them, and help
		
00:47:42 --> 00:47:42
			them.
		
00:47:43 --> 00:47:44
			O our Lord, grant us good in this
		
00:47:44 --> 00:47:45
			world and good in the Hereafter.
		
00:47:46 --> 00:47:47
			And save us from the torment of the
		
00:47:47 --> 00:47:47
			Fire.
		
00:47:47 --> 00:47:50
			O servants of Allah, Allah commands justice, goodness,
		
00:47:50 --> 00:47:54
			and giving to relatives, and forbids immorality, evil,
		
00:47:54 --> 00:47:55
			and transgression.
		
00:47:55 --> 00:47:57
			He warns you, so that you may remember.
		
00:47:57 --> 00:47:59
			So remember Allah, the Great, the Glorious, He
		
00:47:59 --> 00:48:00
			remembers you.
		
00:48:00 --> 00:48:02
			And be grateful to Him for His Grace,
		
00:48:02 --> 00:48:02
			and He will remove you.
		
00:48:03 --> 00:48:04
			And the remembrance of Allah is the greatest.
		
00:48:04 --> 00:48:06
			And Allah knows what you do.
		
00:48:06 --> 00:48:07
			And finish the prayer.
