Wallan terbang kelia who do well and nassarawa Hattah Tabea AMI letter.

This is an idea that you will hear Muslims very often quoting

in different scenarios and situations.

And this is because of how important it is and how relevant it may be to us.

First of all, the basic meaning is that the Jews and the Christians will not be pleased with you

until you follow their religion

their ways.

This is an address to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Firstly, because it's clear ALLAH is talking to him. Well, I'm Thurber Anka Alia who dwell on naissance Allah subhanaw taala is talking to his Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and he is telling him first, that the Jews and the Christians will not be pleased with you until you follow their religion till you follow their milah. Right.

It is possible that the idea is related to the issue of the changing of the Qibla that is going to happen.

We said that the Jews were happy that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was directing himself towards bathe in mock this for a good while. And for some 16 or 17 months, even in Medina,

he was facing the Qibla of Jerusalem. So they were happy with this, but this is going to change.

So, will they then not be pleased anymore? Was it sufficient to achieve their pleasure just by following this template or is there something more

the whole point of the idea is that it is highlighting that attaining their pleasure is not possible.

Except in one situation, one condition, you have to follow them you have to follow their religion.

Otherwise they will not be pleased. You can do all that you want.

You can follow all of the other things

that they may advise

or suggest. But they will not be pleased until you follow their religion.

So it means

no matter what you do, you're not going to attain their pleasure. So therefore, because we know also that some of the Sahaba ra the Allah marine

things were new down in Medina, this was a different situation than Maccha. Now they're dealing with anarchy.

tab

and some of the unsolved already have connections with some of the Jews, people of influence. And now these connections, this influence may be affected by the issue of Dean.

And you know, and I know the importance of connections in our world today, no matter how professional and how bureaucratic a country or system is, it's all about who, you know, everyone knows this. It's the unspoken rule. Don't tell me Oh, no, no, no, we are professional. And we are this. And we are that it's about who, you know, I've seen it on from at all different levels.

In all different countries, from the least corrupt, obviously, to the most corrupt. It's about who you know, it's of course.

So, these connections are very important. And they were important then as well. And therefore, when it came to the issue of

rich restricting alliances, to the Muslim body,

the true well, being to the Muslims and the importance of this, Allah subhanaw taala was trying

to

disabuse the Sahaba, some of the Sahaba, who had those connections of the notion is disabusing them of the notion that you need these connections and through these connections, you will be able to rise and be able to achieve what you need to achieve. He was telling them all you need is Allah.

Even if because of now, your newfound religion, and religiosity and practice, you may lose some of these connections, don't worry.

This is essentially what Allah subhanaw taala is telling the prophets of Salaam and the Sahaba willen terbang, can you who dwell on Nasai Militarum. So don't worry about and therefore, don't put too much effort in trying to achieve that pleasure.

And for some people, it may go very far. It may go to the level of compromise,

not only trying to attain their pleasure in possibly acceptable ways, it might even go into the realm of the unacceptable to compromise on one's religion and one's principles just to achieve that pleasure.

So Allah subhanaw taala is telling them don't do this, you will not attain it, until you follow their religion.

Now it is an address to the prophets of Salaam and the Sahaba need to also understand this lesson. Yes, many of them have Assyrian said that

it is an address to the province of Salem. But there is no way that he would do anything like that. Because he is the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam and Allah subhanaw taala granted him the ESMA

excuse me the prophetic infallibility

in terms of the hour, so there is no chance that he would do that. So it must be an address or a lesson to the rest of the ummah. And this is absolutely true.

But at the same time, the Quran is replete with examples like this, where Allah subhanaw taala is speaking to the Prophet sallallahu wasallam himself or some of the other prophets

and saying something like this, one may ask, if it was an address to the Ummah only and there's no chance that the Prophet would do that, and we know there isn't a chance. Then why is the address coming to the Prophet sallallahu Sallam he could have addressed the Ummah

you already know. And there's plenty of that as well.

But there seems to be a hikma and wisdom there, well, Allahu Allah. When you read those verses, you really Fathom and understand the magnificence of Allah and the greatness of Allah. Because no one can talk to a prophet like this, other than Allah

We love the Prophet SAW Selim to bits and he is the best of humanity. But in the end is the messenger of Allah he is not Allah. Allah

tells him well until dawn Kalia who dwell on Nosara and many other other examples, other examples are even more

cogent in proving this, such as when Allah subhanaw taala says that if the few he were to change something of what Allah subhanaw taala has sent, when Allah subhanaw taala would seize him by the right Subhan Allah. This is the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, what does this have to do with the Allah? No one can speak to the best of humanity like this except Allah subhanho wa taala. Well, Untergang Kalia, who dwell on the Surah, Toby Amin Leto and let the companions and the whole Ummah, hear it and heed the lesson as well.

Furthermore,

when he's telling them that they will not be pleased, he's essentially making them despair, of the pleasure of the Jews and the Christians, no matter what you do,

they want you to follow their religion well until bancaria, who do well and Nosara

In other words, be in the spirit of this

Subhan Allah,

it is no coincidence

that

we seem to identify with this verse,

possibly a lot more than people have old.

So when you look at the deaf seed of the previous diversity of this idea,

the range of what they're explaining is quite limited.

Because of the situation, because of the situation of the Muslims, because of the weakness of the Muslims, because of how many Muslims now

are doing everything they can to seek the pleasure of the Jews and the Christians.

And sometimes bending over backwards and compromising on their principles. Yes, this is a controversial and sensitive, sensitive subject. And therefore,

many of the non Muslims probably would not like to approach this idea.

This is a

little bit difficult. Why?

Because it exposes their true nature, because it's talking about this very sensitive subject. Maybe many of the non Muslims would like to prove this idea wrong. Please do

show us that it is wrong.

Will they be pleased? Or not? Right?

Believe it or not, a lot of the Muslims

may have an issue with this idea.

Or the understanding of the idea. Or they will try to limit the idea and say no, this applies, then it doesn't apply now.

You say, Oh, these are not practicing Muslims. They have left the fold of Islam. No, no, no, they're very practicing was as well.

And this is what they may think. Yes. Whether

there's a lot and I'm not even close to finishing talking about it. So the Jews like

spreading, spreading.

Okay, well, that's a good question. You're right. The Jews do not proselytize like the Christians. Yes, you are correct.

For some obvious reasons, okay. And whether they will accept someone to become a Jew or not. That's in question as well, because their definition of a Jew is someone whose mother is a Jew, right.

And to a large extent, they

regard their religion more as a race, right? They look at it more as a racial thing than a religious one. Okay. So yes, they do not proselytize as much as the Christians You're right about that? Absolutely. But have some people accepted the Jewish religion they have

and

their religion or their weights, we may also understand it as their ways, even though the proper meaning is their religion, we let our meaning until you follow their religion. So

the Jews are involved in this lesson the Christians Yes, you are correct. Especially nowadays, okay.

So

nowadays,

we can totally see, the importance of this is well under bancaria, who do well and nasaga Tabea Mila town, because you will find now a lot of Muslims wanting to compromise in their Deen, because they're seeking that pleasure. That little bit of pleasure. Maybe if I just do this, if I just do that, if I say it this way, if I say it that way, then there'll be pleased, and then they'll support me. And they'll support us, and they'll support our cause. And then we'll be that much stronger. And and and, and you can imagine the arguments going till infinity.

And then we remember well, in total bang Korea who do well and nasaga had to be army Leto.

It's not about that. It's until you follow the religion.

One may say,

as in the other area, Allah subhanaw taala said that they will keep fighting against you. Until what?

Until they get you to apostatize from your religion, to leave your religion.

This is an earlier step.

Okay, it's a very big benefit if you leave your religion. Right? If you would just disbelief become an atheist, leave your Islam. But

if you want pleasure, no, you have to go. Another step forward. You have to accept that religion. You have to accept Christ.

Right?

It's not enough to just leave Islam. No, you have to accept Christ. But I accept Jesus peace be upon him. I love Jesus peace be upon him. We all love Jesus peace be upon him. And just like protests happen all around the Muslim world when they insulted the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam the same would have happened if you insulted Jesus peace be upon him, the Muslims would protest because this is unacceptable to us, because he is one of the greatest mysteries of Allah.

His Allah's peace be upon them all. We accept him. So will you now accept? Will you now be pleased? No, you have to accept him as Christ and savior and worship him. That's all they will accept?

Me letter home.

It's all about that. So it is not enough, even though there's so much in common between us and the Christians and the Jews?

Is there not things in common between us and the Jews? Yes, there's there are

even though they're monotheism is tainted by all kinds of

ideological corruption, anthropomorphism and other things.

But they claim to be monotheists, and that they only worship one God,

of course, albeit with a racial conception of God and a very exclusive God, unfortunately, but they claim monotheism, and we claim to be monotheists. And there are other issues as well. And you might have seen some of the Jews when they pray as well, and they pray and they put their right hand over their left.

There are things in common

despite all their terrorism and persecution

and crimes that they're committing in the Holy Land now,

but there are commonalities between us and the Jews and the Christians, but they will not be pleased until you follow their religion.

What else do we benefit and understand from this idea?

Allah subhanaw taala is telling us it's always about the religion. This is a very interesting point.

They will not be pleased with you until you follow their mill or their religion. So

It's not only about interests, it's not only about the economics and the politics and so many other things that people talk about today.

Resources,

yeah,

bilateral trade agreements, ultimate pleasure, until you follow the religion say it got upset, it is the perennial complex, it is the issue of aqidah, nothing else,

all of these other things, oh, they could be, sometimes they are issues, but the ultimate issue if you seek their pleasure, you have to follow their milah you have to follow them.

But we are signatories to the United Nations. And we accepted this and we accepted that. And we permitted this and we permitted that because this is what they said we should do. And we secularized this and we secularized that

and not only that, we are changing the Quran is well.

We are playing with the Quran. We are deleting verses of the Quran. Not from the Quran proper, because then immediately everyone will realize a person who does this has left the fold of Islam but will not mention those ideas will not mention this idea that I'm talking about today no need to always say mentioned it and read it in the Salah Whelan. terbang, Korea will dwell on Nosara because this seems to be contradictory to the purpose of

religious harmony or coexistence. But again, Allah is telling us about a truth

that has

manifested itself throughout the centuries.

As I told you, the professor in some of the more recent Vaseline

had more to say so you look at someone like Rashid riba interseeded menar.

He made this one of the

rules and laws that he deduced from Surah Al Baqarah.

So he deduced some 33 rules or laws from certain Bacara one of them was this, Whelan, terbang kelia, who developed nasaga, this is a rule or Allah, to understand.

And, of course, he noticed in his time, how the leaders of many Muslim nations did everything they can

to please the Jews and the Christians.

And yet, they were not pleased because it is until you follow their religion.

Because religion is always a factor brothers and sisters.

And believe it or not,

this is one of the things that Samuel Huntington got right? In the clash of civilizations.

Yes, he got a lot of things wrong. But something got right was this. And that is religion is always a consideration.

Don't let anyone fool you and tell you no, no, no, we don't talk about religion. It is just dry politics, state interests, only nothing else. No. He tells you religion and culture and civilizational factors are always there.

And they are important.

And we see that over and over.

One of the controversial issues

seemingly a purely political one.

Everyone knows that. Turkey has been trying for very long or Turkey, we should say has been trying very long to become a member in the

new European Union.

What's the problem?

Why are they been accepted? They have fulfilled so many of the conditions that the EU required, why are they still not part of it?

So you might say Oh, but you know we are biased. You are you are just saying that it is this but it seems to be to alert large extent well and

well and nasaga maletto Turkey is still considered a Muslim nation.

And to Kia, and the specter of something called the Ottoman Empire and the Ottoman state

that ruled for some over 600 years.

This is something that they still see in front of them. How can we now admit them into the European Union? These are not my words.

These are the words of former prime minister and former foreign minister

and

recent presidential candidate hammered WW. In an article he wrote decades ago, he talked about these things, this promise that they have never delivered on.

He said the reason is some of these factors, these religious factors

it's not only about dry politics, in our day, everything is secularized. Right. Economics is economics. Politics is politics. Don't bring Allah into it. They tell you

to HUD, Allah, amalco, Luna, Allah one Kabira they say God is dead. There is no god in politics and God in economics. No, God is there. When I'm 31. Korea who dwell on Nosara

later on,

they will not be pleased until you follow their religion.

It tells you the importance of this factor, it will always be there. Yes, it may increase and decrease. They're trying as much as possible to remove Remove those considerations now,

but they still exist. In the past, it was, as they say, in the arena. So

there will be some letters, political correspondence between leaders, and they will immediately and in that letter, call that person to their religion.

Okay, whether it's the Pope or someone else, this was common. So now it seems less, or it's a little bit more concealed and hidden, but it is there.

Those factors are all always there.

Look at the issue of Palestine now. Subhanallah look at all kinds of compromises

that Palestinians gave

Palestinian leadership games, hoping that finally they will achieve, quote unquote, peace, right.

Hoping that finally, there will be peace in the Holy Land, one compromise after another.

And in the end, they're at a dead end, they will not be pleased. So it applies politically as well. Well, in terbang Kalia, who developed nasaga Hector the tablet, what will please you 100,000 dead.

There are already over 100,000 casualties in this war

among amongst dead and injured, will you be pleased if it is 100,000 then we can agree then we can move forward

then you can do something then you will call it genocide

of course.

On an individual level, you have scores of Muslims, imams religious leaders who may have compromised on things.

It's not easy. There's a lot of pressure especially in non Muslim countries.

Especially when you are being introduced as Imam so and so. Oh, this person is different. This person is about religious harmony and coexistence. They don't go for these types of ideas and these types of verses looking for common ground looking for common ground is very nice. The Quran is the one that called

Kitab to Isla de la Kenny Mateen Sawa Come, let us find common ground Common Ground is very nice. Compromise is something else.

We will not compromise on our principles, but many of them have seeking the pleasure. Allah is telling us they will not be pleased. Understand

what Dulo to the he knew for you the noon they would love that you compromise so that they would compromise. Kalia you will curfew to

say oh you disbelievers. I do not want

Worship, you worship and you do not worship what I worship and so on. What did they want? worship our God one day and we will worship yours the next

come to our religion, this is their religion. This is acceptable to them.

That's why well any Tabata what are they following? Are they following the religion? Are they following desires?

Are they following their adulteration of their books and of their religion? Not the original,

the corrupted version, the desires, the additions and deletions, follow that Allah subhanaw taala says, Leave those who took the religion as play in amusement.

So in other words, follow our religion. Look at religion the way we do, why have you Why are you so

restrictive and strict in your religion? Just, you know, take it easy,

because we have

I asked this question straight up when I was visiting a Christian school in the US.

So they had a nice big picture of Mary, of course, how do you know how Mary looks, but anyway, she was covered in her hijab. So I said,

She's covered how come you know, none of the students here are covered as well. This is Mary the mother of Jesus Peace be upon. So what are they going to say? Oh, Laura, our scholars, you know, said that no, this is then this is now

your arguments like that, right?

Is this sticking your religion with strength? Taking your book the strength within kitab? A bit too? Well, no. So follow us look at religion the way we do?

Have data tobyhanna letter, this is what is required? Well, in total Bong Korea who do well on NESARA.

Someone might say, however, in retort,

what she What is wrong with trying to get the message across in the best way.

finding that common ground.

They are always hearing, you know, the most evil things about Islam because of the negative propaganda in the media. Absolutely. So we just want to show them the best side of Islam and attract them and, and this and that, right? There's nothing wrong with that. This is beautiful.

Do Dawa in the best way with wisdom and good speech. Show them the amazing Islam that they don't know about. That is completely maligned in the media do all of that. But never compromise.

Be clear. Be honest. And by the way,

only then will they respect you.

Because if you become wishy washy, in your deen

they will not respect that. You think, oh no, I'm doing it to please them. And Allah is telling you, they will not be pleased.

And many of them will see through it. And they will say you are a liar. This is not what your Dean says, look at ISO. And so look at this, look at that.

Yes,

never compromise. So the problem is not in showing how beautiful Islam is and doing Tao in the best way. The problem is with people who have that deep want and need

to attain their pleasure. And Allah is telling you, you will not gain it until you follow their religion.

Until you apostatize you leave Islam and then you become a Jew or a Christian, then they will be pleased and by then you have lost your dunya and your Akela Well, I have to be law.

So this Subhan Allah it's it's one of those laws.

Again,

they will say but look now look at the millions supporting the Palestinian cause.

The country that went to the ICJ is not an Arab or Muslim country. Right South Africa. Many of the Jews are supporting the Palestinian cause. So many came out

in the west, not in our

name.

So well in tarragon Kenya who dwell on Nosara? Does this contradict the iron? Absolutely not. This is a law for the centuries. This is this is gonna go on until the day of judgment.

The ratio of those who support or don't support, this is gonna go up and down. This may fluctuate. If there are some now, yes, many did come out. But look at the millions who are perpetrating this violence in Palestine and support it? No, those are the Israelis. Yes, but there are Jews as well. Right? They are Jewish Israelis.

So there is no contradiction. Don't be confused. If some support the cause then how do I understand? Well, I'm Tonga uncle Yolanda surah. Allah's patatas is telling you in general, that this is the rule, this is the law, you will have to follow their religion. At that time era, we live down in the hood, Allah who will Huda? This is your answer.

The guidance of Allah is the true guidance. This is the guidance. You might say he didn't say Islam, yes, because it is clear with Allah is a reference here to the religion of Islam. Well in the hood, Allahu Al Huda. In other words, there is no other guidance. This is the only guidance that is acceptable to Allah subhanaw taala because it is the final, Sharia it is the final testament, pull in the hood, Allahu alHuda.

In other words, this is the only thing that I will stick to.

I will never ever leave my religion.

That reminds us of the reply of sada whenever we were cast to his mother of the Hola, Juan, you know the story, how many know the story, just to kind of understand where people are at just to get an idea. Raise your hand, don't be shy, don't be modest. You know, the story of Sodom, Carson, his mother, raise your hand? No, not many panela.

So she was trying to force him into disbelief.

And she said to him, I'm going to starve myself until I die.

Until you come back to the religion of your forefathers.

And then people will mock you and despise you as the one who killed his mother, because of his religion.

And he loved his mother and he respected his mother.

And he pleaded with her not to do that.

And when he saw that he couldn't convince her. So he said to her, something that eventually

persuaded her to leave such a ridiculous idea. He said to her Wallahi My dear mother, if you had 100 souls, and every one were to be taken, I would never leave my religion. So she understood, this boy is never going to leave his religion. Okay, again, with respect. But this is Dean. This is no joke. I don't compromise for anyone. I don't do it to seek anyone's pleasure. Not even an iota of pleasure.

Hattah Tabby Armiliato will in the hood Allahu alHuda. The guidance of Allah the Houda of Allah is de Huda wire in it Tabata Hua home, if now, in the case that God forbid, if you were to follow their Hawa, very interesting. He didn't say if you were to follow their Mila

even though he just mentioned it here to me, I mean, later on, he didn't say what about me later, whether you Tabata Hua home, because that's all it is there, Mila is

just the desires, all of the corruption of the mullah,

not the original Milla. If it was the original Mila we would not differ on anything.

It is what

it is the Jews that we read about hiding the versus concealing completely concealing the verses, or playing around with the interpretation of the verses. The additions and deletions of verses that we saw

Also the Christians

the Allah

if you were to follow them

Furthermore, everything else that we see today, the secularization, the secularization of religion, all my dear brothers and sisters, all of the things that we as a Muslim Ummah are expected to sign off on.

Today it's one thing tomorrow it's another today it's Hello, tomorrow It's haram.

What was impermissible to them just a few decades ago is completely permissive Allah, not only permissible everyone has to sign on.

While in Tabata

these are just vain desires playing around

secularisation brothers and sisters, I don't know if I told you before

Subhan Allah in many of the books I read,

for objective Western scholars,

objective ones, not ones who are against Islam, no beautiful books about Islam,

praising Islam from the beginning of the book to the end.

But in the very end, most of the time there is that caveat, where is it?

You have to secularize you cannot continue like this

in one form or another, you have to somehow adapt to the times and that is to secularize, you cannot continue practicing Islam that way, in that way.

Well, Amy Tabata Hawa who the other lady, come in, and in the worst part is to follow those vain desires after having received knowledge. Whether it's by the lady journal coming in,

after having received knowledge, after having understood and believed,

and had that firm conviction in what you have, then

following them and following their milah man, aka mean Allah He mean whether you will and then you will not have

a protector or helper.

Again, he's talking to the province of Salem, and the whole Ummah should understand this very important lesson. Remember what we said before about the connections about the influence.

A lot of them thought, this is the way to strength

and now if we cut these ties, what's going to happen to us?

A Allah is teaching them. Allah is your helper, Allah is your wedding. Allah is your protector.

Allah is the One who will bring about what you desire. Allah is the One who is going to support and help you.

But if you follow their vain desires, after whatever knowledge has come to you, then you will not have

that protector or that helper or supporter. You will lose Allah subhanaw taala so he's, he's teaching them that very important lesson even if everyone leaves you how important is that today Subhanallah

especially when we are at our weakest

and it seems everyone else

has all the material strength. So you will find we are just compromising and following and everything right? Allah is telling us beware if you follow their Mila then you will not have a protector or a supporter.

Trusting

Fiocchi tidbit

he sent well in a Tabata sorry, Toby AMI letter.

So he's talking about the Jews and the Christians but he talked about one Milla there Mila, and maybe you have heard the statement many times that will go through many Latin Wahida Cofer is one Mila,

it is all one even though there are many different religions, but Subhanallah we have seen time and time again. And history has shown this as well.

That in many situations, yes. It seemed like everyone else would come

and join forces all against an alliance against the Muslims and Islam.

That disbelief is all one Midler

before kaha, of the chef and the chef

and some of the HANA Villa also,

actually, based on this idea, concluded that, technically they are one Midler. They belong to one Mila, how would this manifest itself? From a fixed standpoint, it's not really applicable now. But in a time, when Muslims Subhanallah

were at the top of the civilizational ladder.

They were then judges

for the Jews and the Christians and maybe people of other faiths. So they would come to the Muslims to judge between them.

Now it's the opposite seems, but that's how it was. So the Muslims would judge. So if there was

a Jew who was married to a

Christian or an atheist or a Buddhist, or vice versa. Two people marry from two different religions. And one of them dies. Would the husband inherit the wife or the wife inherit the husband? According to their opinion, they are from one Milla, Milla Haida, so they can inherit

because the prophets of salaam said that the people of different mullahs do not inherit from one another.

So if it was the case where they were to disbelievers, they're not Muslims. The Muslim is now judging

right during the hookup,

they are one Milla according to this opinion, so they would inherit from one another. Yes, it seems very distant and not something that would be applicable but Subhanallah this is something that fuqaha mentioned.

I intended to start the next IR but this is Subhanallah you can just keep talking about it. And I'm sure you have a lot going on in your heads now as well. So Allah wa salam O Allah calendar, Bina Mohammed
