			well as Allah subhanho wa Taala. And m Nana. Eman on saw the way Athena and kameena My dear brothers
and sisters,
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:13
			the truth
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:32
			does not vanish, and does not disappear with the departure or the death of those who carry it and
those who fight for it. As a matter of fact, time and again, we see throughout history that
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:35
			those who
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:42
			stand up for what is right for what is just
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:57
			and lead a righteous life. Very often, their message and their mission becomes stronger when they
die regardless of how they die
		
00:04:58 --> 00:04:59
			very often
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:01
			We see that
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:08
			many that we see examples of people who were not known.
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:14
			And what they stood for, or their mission in life was not known,
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:17
			but upon their death.
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:19
			There,
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:25
			what they, what they what they lived for, comes to life,
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:29
			they die, but their ideas
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:35
			and their beliefs are revived and they live forever.
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:46
			And you can examine any figure that was celebrated and became more popular after his or her
departure.
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:49
			So,
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:54
			the wrongdoers, those who can't
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:58
			accept except anything, but
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:09
			what they want to impose on others. They think by eliminating someone that they will be able to get
rid of him or his ideas, or his mission.
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:13
			And time and again, a loss of Hannah Montana proves them to be wrong.
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:20
			The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam his life came to an end
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:23
			salallahu alayhi wasallam
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:45
			but when his life came to an end, it was indeed a very traumatic, very painful, very hard test for
his companions, his students, the carriers, and the recipients and the bears of his mission. But one
Allah Allah him.
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:53
			And indeed, as Roger said, Lambert woofie Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam a terrible Muslim
moon
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:56
			was very tense
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:00
			for men who men do Isha for Holi.
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:08
			And it's telefonnummer. woman who man Okay, that fella Miyazaki, yam, some of them became
overwhelmed
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:12
			with this devastating news of the prophet SAW, Selim actually died.
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:18
			And some of them were in denial. They couldn't, they couldn't just
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:57
			fathom they could not. It was regret. I mean, remember, these were some of the strongest people that
ever lived. And their Eman was so strong. So it was so chaotic. It when Roger says that some of them
lost, lost their ability, their judgment, you know, they couldn't they couldn't handle it. And they
were in denial. Some of them could not stand physically, physically. They were they couldn't, they
couldn't stand. As a matter of fact, some, you know, when we talk about a strong companion, what's
what comes to mind.
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:28
			People immediately think only when we think of strong companies or any of the long run, we were
talking about physical strength. And when he finally came to realize that it was actually true that
the news was true, this was not a rumor. And this was not a departure, like the departure of Moses,
peace be upon him under the promise that someone's going to come back. This was not a temporary
departure. This was it. This was what the Qur'an has been preparing them for. The promises I sent
him departed, and he's not going to come back.
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:37
			This was this was a final exit, and the promises salams mission has come to an end. So when I
finally came to realize that the alarm on who
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:47
			took that stand, and recited that verse in which Allah Subhana Allah told him that the prophet SAW
Selim is going to die. When I came to realize that he said,
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:52
			he said I could my knees couldn't carry me anymore and he collapsed.
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:55
			of the Allahu Allah.
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:04
			woman who menorah tequila Lisa novella musical Kalam and some of them became the couldn't speak.
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:10
			They were overwhelmed with grief and sadness that they could not speak for a day or two
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:16
			was not only Lionel could not say or do anything. He was just crying.
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:23
			Some of the family members of the Prophet sallallahu wasallam were not to be seen in public.
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:34
			They were busy with this this huge create great calamity. woman whom and Ankara moto bill Cooley and
he said some of them were completely in denial.
		
00:09:35 --> 00:10:00
			Right? That that's what the initial shock did to these great people. But eventually, they came to
the to realize what Allah subhanaw taala had mentioned in the Quran. What Allah subhanaw taala
declared to him in the camera to enemy tone, that you're going to die. You're mortal. So So are they
right? You will die like any profit before you will now Mohammedan a lot of sunako collected public
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:00
			Heroes well.
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:15
			And that's when the companions of the Prophet and as it started to sink in, started to realize,
especially when a worker of the alarm again, made a very powerful statement that remains to echo
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:20
			in the psyche of the oma until the day of judgment,
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:27
			that remember what this what the life of the believer is all about. It revolves around one reality.
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:36
			McCann, Abu Mohammed, Mohammed Padma whoever,
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:42
			he told them will ever worshiped Mohammed sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:47
			And notice that he did not say who ever worshipped Rasulullah
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:49
			right?
		
00:10:51 --> 00:11:08
			And he didn't say, you know, because the concept of what Rasulullah Assalam represents as a
messenger and what he brought, does not die, says Mohammed as a human being is dead. mechanicville
Mohammed, Mohammed Ahmed, Mohammed, the human,
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:21
			the human being sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, not not the idea or the concept if that's what you're
all about the human being that Faina Mohammedan admit, he has indeed died.
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:34
			perished sallallahu alayhi wa sallam big homie and his death is was a transition from this life of
ours, to the next.
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:45
			woman can Abdullah However, for those of us who need Reality Check whoever worships Allah Subhana
Allah, vain Allah how you lay mode.
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:53
			Allah Subhana Allah is Ever living everlasting and he does not die subhanho wa Taala
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:56
			so it's up to you.
		
00:11:57 --> 00:12:03
			And that's when that's a habit of mana La La him was able to get themselves together and they were
able to
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:49
			get over, get over the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, but they were able to get up and realize
that they have duties and obligations and they they have this legacy that the prophets of Allah
Islam left behind, that they need to carry. And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in spite of
what happened as a reaction to his death sallallahu alayhi wasallam when the tribes of the Arabian
Peninsula a pasta size, and when the Muslim community was reduced to a small number of people, in
the two strongest hold of Islam, Mecca and Medina, that's what Islam was reduced to during the time
of the prophet SAW Selim, we're talking about more than 100,000 companions, the entire Arabian
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:58
			peninsula and the southern parts of, of modern day Iraq and Syria and all of that, in Yemen. I mean,
imagine that is a massive
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:23
			territory. Within the last four or five years of the life of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
came under the banner of Islam. And then soon after his death, salallahu alayhi wasallam, that
territory shrunk. And it went back to that original group of people that the word of the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wasallam. And the Muslim community became these two cities in that set and what is
in between.
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:30
			And it was a very scary time for Islam and Muslims. But what happened?
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:32
			They recovered.
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:38
			Not only did they recover, but they actually went beyond
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:52
			what the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam left them with. And this is the nature of the truth in
Islam. And this is the lesson that we learned from the passing of the prophets and the Messenger of
Allah.
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:56
			That there traditionary the Sunnah, doesn't, doesn't go,
		
00:13:57 --> 00:14:03
			it gains strength. And this is what we learn also from the passing and the death of great people
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:08
			with great ideas and great beliefs, sincere people,
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:11
			they become legends.
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:33
			And their legacy that they leave behind, gains a strength that nobody, no matter how strong that
person might be, will be able to stop. So brothers and sisters, embrace the truth, hold on to it and
die upon it. Apollo hasn't suffered lolly welcome, first of
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:34

00:14:47 --> 00:14:50
			hamdu lillahi wa salatu salam ala Abadi Ludhiana Stata
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:59
			at the end of the battle, or during the Battle of oil that we that I have reflected upon the past
two weeks.
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:08
			here and in other communities, there was a moment that is telling of the spirit
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:11
			of the Sahaba. And the spirit that should be
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:31
			that should be adopted by every Muslim, every believer. And so not only Allah when he came across or
upon a group of people who lay down their arms, and they sat down and they gave up and they
surrender it. And they were just overwhelmed again with grief and with shock. So he said, What are
you doing?
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:42
			What Why are you just letting go and what happened? They said that you didn't hear that the promise
I send them was killed. They thought there was a rumor that the prophet SAW Selim was killed.
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:46
			So and it's been another set to them. So
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:56
			I met him Daddy, then what is life after him, boom, get up the move to Allah Muhammad Ali.
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:02
			Die upon the same cause die for the same cause that he died for.
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:06
			Salalah honey, baby homie.
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:18
			We, as American Muslims here, very often remember two great figures that had huge impact on us.
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:26
			Right. One of them was a thinker, was a leader was
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:34
			a powerful civil rights advocate. Right? Hajj, Malik Chavez, Malcolm X.
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:52
			And another very close friend of him, that was very inspired by his example, an athlete, right a
role model for a lot of people. Mohammed Ali, right. Both of these figures were very, very, they
were under vicious attack.
		
00:16:54 --> 00:17:00
			In the, during the peak of their, of their fame and their strength. One of them was killed
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:03
			Malcolm X.
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:11
			And those who killed him, they thought that by killing him, they're going to get rid of them. Little
the new
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:15
			Malcolm X became a great inspiration
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:19
			for generations to come.
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:34
			May Allah Subhana, Allah granted martyrdom, right? He became a great inspiration for people.
Mohammed Ali, did not waver is not compromise.
		
00:17:36 --> 00:18:00
			He may missed out on few worldly things. But later, right, as he held on to his principles, he
became the legend that everybody celebrated at the end of his life, and a new generation came
cursing those who were attacking him and those who were who hated him back then, celebrating him
now, right? They didn't change.
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:14
			There was one thing that the these two multiple things are these two that had in common, but one
thing that stood out was their strength, and their adherence, and their zeal.
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:20
			In in, in, in defending and holding on to what they believe to be the truth.
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:25
			Right. And they were called all kinds of names.
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:35
			But they held on to that they didn't compromise. They were not looking for fame or approval or to be
accepted by the vast majority of people during their time.
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:38
			They were true to themselves.
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:45
			They held on to what they believed in, at any cost, and by any means necessary.
		
00:18:49 --> 00:19:04
			A serious lesson for those of us who think that sometimes compromising and then being diplomatic and
forsaking the truth and changing things and apologizing and doing thing is going to get you
acceptance and respect. It doesn't.
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:21
			My dear brothers and sisters, I asked Allah subhanho wa Taala to make you and I have those who hold
on to the truth, and those who stand up for it. And the truth of the matter, my dear brothers and
sisters is that this last week,
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:28
			we witnessed our generation witnessed an event that
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:30
			will
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:41
			that i'm not i'm not fully in a position to, to analyze and to speak about or defer to reflect upon.
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:59
			This is something that we need to continue to have conversations about and study and think about and
analyze and look back at. But nonetheless, if there is any community in the world, that should be
impacted in that shouldn't be engaged and that should
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:03
			be reflecting and should be reacting to this,
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:17
			in addition to the very people that were directly involved in it, in Asia, is this community, the
Muslim community of Southern California, especially the greater LA area,
		
00:20:18 --> 00:21:01
			as the person who is at the center of this incident or this event, may Allah Subhana Allah, bestow
mercy upon him and be pleased with him, was someone that actually in the 80s earned his degree here
from none other than USC, University of Southern California, and taught later as a professor here in
the early to mid to late 1980s. So he was someone who was part of this community. And I personally
don't know, of anyone that was of this community, somehow, this larger Southern California,
especially greater LA area, community that has achieved what he achieved.
		
00:21:04 --> 00:21:07
			becoming the first president.
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:18
			Right. So imagine, imagine if one of our even if it's an international student, who comes to this
semester, imagine this person being 30 years later, the first president
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:20
			to be elected?
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:24
			Right and out of country.
		
00:21:26 --> 00:21:42
			Right, this person was stuck, there is a connection with this individual, right. And even if we
didn't have direct connection, or if this person wasn't part of this community, in and of itself is
a huge accomplishment, regardless of where you stand.
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:47
			When it comes to the political spectrum, regardless of where you are,
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:58
			late president Mohammed mercy of Egypt was someone that accomplished what no man before him was able
to accomplish.
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:10
			And a loss of habitat he had the unique qualities that make him very special as a he makes make some
very special as a human being, and make some very special as a Muslim figure and later.
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:14
			And his death and departure
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:17
			was indeed a huge loss.
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:35
			For those who choose to ignore it, or to overlook it, or try to dismiss it or try to, we need to
remember that they may be sending the wrong message to our youth, and future Muslim leaders in
generations.
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:49
			You can't simply ignore this. We have talked about and celebrated leaders and scientists and people
who have accomplished much less than what he accomplished.
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:55
			So the least we owe this man is recognition
		
00:22:57 --> 00:22:59
			and appreciation. And
		
00:23:00 --> 00:23:07
			so today, I will pray for him. I'll pray for his family. And I'll pray for his people in his
country.
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:28
