rasuluhu Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh First
thing I'd like to say is mashallah we've
been to many cities and towns over the
past few weeks and coming here to MCC
and being in your presence I already feel
something very very special May Allah subhana wa

this community It's our first time here and
I already feel that I don't want to
leave Rehan I think you're going home by
yourself Mashallah may Allah subhana wa ta'ala
allow us all to be a community collectively
journeying to Allah and His Messenger sallallahu ta
'ala alayhi wa ala alihi wa sahbihi wa
sallam I was asked to introduce our beloved
teacher and sheikh, sheikh Mukhtar and there's just
one thing that I want to share with
you about sheikh Mukhtar though I know that
he's not going to be happy that I
share this but I have to say this
from my heart I've known the sheikh for
over 30 years I won't give you my
age but since I was a young boy
and the sheikh that I know in private
whether we're in upstate New York or living
together in Istanbul or travelling in Spain or
travelling in Morocco or travelling to Al-Haramain
Sharifain is the sheikh that you see in
public and the sheikh that you see in
public is the sheikh that I know in
private his journeying to Allah subhana wa ta
'ala his path to Allah subhana wa ta
'ala his attempt to live a life of
istiqama you know what this word istiqama is?
what's istiqama?
what is it?
steadfastness you're steadfast in what you do is
what I see from him in private and
it's that journey of his that draws so
many hearts to be around him and benefit
from him so what I can tell everyone
here is lend your heart to what our
beloved teacher has to share because it is
transformative and it's a journey that transforms us
in our relationship to Allah and his messenger
and transforms us in our relationship with each
other it's the most beautiful journey that anyone
can take may Allah subhana wa ta'ala
open our hearts to this journey may Allah
subhana wa ta'ala allow us to benefit
from what our dear teacher and sheikh shares
with us today and on that I will
ask our beloved sheikh to please share some
words with us tonight assalamu
alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh how are you?
alhamdulillah we are well and the kingdom belongs
to Allah and alhamdulillah there is no god
but Allah there is no partner but Allah
he has the kingdom and he has the
praise and he is capable of everything my
lord I ask you the best of what
is in this night and the best of
what is to come my lord I seek
refuge in you from the evil of what
is in this night and from the evil
of what is to come my lord I
seek refuge in you from laziness and from
the evil of old age my lord I
seek refuge in you from the torment in
the fire and from the torment in the
grave in the name of Allah, the one
and only the eternal one who was not
born and will not be born and no
one is equal to him and alhamdulillah praise
to Allah I
am to share some reflections or some words
with you on account of what we in
this world in general and we Muslims in
particular are experiencing of tremendous momentous
upheavals and changes at all levels of the
spectra of life in doing so I am
to share with you some excerpts of what
Sayyidina Mawlana Muhammad sallallahu ta'ala alayhi wa
alihi wa sallam had told us because what
is happening in the world and to us
Muslims also specifically Allah has known it for
eternity Allah has willed it for eternity before
He created us before He created anything His
knowledge has never changed, subhanAllah nothing happens in
existence not only on earth manifest or subtle
or hidden except that it is with His
will and in His infinite eternal knowledge what
Allah wills what Allah wills to be will
be what He will not to be will
not be subhanAllah what He will not to
be will not be It's a very powerful
ayah that when we read and we ponder,
it is tremendously healing.
Because Allah tells us, whatever befalls you or
happens or occurs on this earth of any
event, major or minor, personal or collective, mental,
spiritual, emotional, physical, economic, political, military, nothing occurs.
Even when a leaf falls from a tree,
nothing occurs except that it is in His
knowledge before He had created earth itself and
before that event itself was created.
When we know this, alhamdulillah, as Muslimoon, as
mu'minoon, it brings solace to us.
We're not living in a random world.
There is no random process in the divine
scale.
Random is our perception of things.
When we are unable to understand something exactly,
we say it is random and we develop
a concept of random processes simply to explain
to practical levels what we need practically.
But nothing is random.
Nothing.
That's number one.
And therefore, consequence to that, the Rasulullah ﷺ,
So he
ﷺ, as many ulama of hadith have related,
that on occasions, more than one occasion, that
he ﷺ addressed his companions from morning till
late afternoon with breaks only for salah.
To tell them all what will be in
the future.
And this hadith related by many companions.
And some have remembered details of the sahaba,
some did not, as the text also teach
us.
So that's why we have sometimes portions of
what he ﷺ said on one full occasion.
One remembered one part, another remembered a second
part, a third part, one remembered a few
parts.
Together.
In that which he ﷺ said is the
following.
This hadith related by Imam al-Tabarani and
al-Bazar and others.
Isa ﷺ said, End
of quote.
This hadith says, that you will witness before
the coming of the hour.
The hour, the end of the world as
we know it.
Some call it in common American parlance and
Christian parlance, the end of times.
He ﷺ said, you will witness things before
the coming of the hour that are momentous.
Which you will wonder about.
What is going on?
What is going on?
And some things, Of
the things that we will not approve of
even.
And momentous ones.
To the extent that there is so much
of that, that you would say, and look
at this prophecy of Rasulullah ﷺ, in the
future, he is speaking of the future before
the coming of the hour, that you will
say, you will say, did we ever, were
we ever taught or told about these things
to happen?
I.e. by Rasulullah ﷺ.
Should I pause here for a moment?
Did it happen to you?
Did you ever ask the questions as whenever,
especially the parents and the adults and those
who are interested in information collecting and data
processing.
This is incredible.
Did Rasulullah ﷺ tell us about something like
this?
Just to, it's a means for us to
find some solace.
Find some peace.
I myself had asked myself before I knew
the hadith, much longer, before I knew the
hadith, I had asked myself that question.
And Rasulullah ﷺ said, all his prophecies of
the future is even what you will say
privately.
For me, this is of the most powerful
of the mu'ajizat of Rasulullah ﷺ in
terms of al-ikhbar bima sayyakoon.
To the extent that he tells us, you
will say this.
Another similar hadith related by Imam Ahmad and
his Muslim Imam Ibn Hibban in his Sahih.
When he spoke to Rasulullah ﷺ in a
long hadith, and he spoke of these signs
of the coming of the Antichrist, the Dajjal.
And at the end he says, تَسَاءَلُونَ
بَيْنَكُمْ هَلْ كَانَ نَبِيُكُمْ ذَكَرَ لَكُمْ مِّنْهَا ذِكْرًا
لا إله إلا الله.
End of quote.
He said, Rasulullah ﷺ, those signs that he
spoke about of the Dajjal, and he says,
all of those signs will not occur until
you will witness, again like previous hadith, you
will witness events, أُمْوَرًا you will witness events,
يَتَفَاقَ مُشَأْنُهَا فِي نُفُوسِكُمْ that you will find
those in you overwhelming, unbearable, incredible, too
much.
يَتَفَاقَ مُشَأْنُهَا فِي نُفُوسِكُمْ You are unable to
deal with it calmly, and peacefully, and securely.
It generates less and less, very strange powerful
feelings.
يَتَفَاقَ مُشَأْنُهَا فِي نُفُوسِكُمْ And you will ask
one another, did your Nabi, this one says
it literally, did your Nabi ﷺ ever mention
anything about Ramadan?
I really have to pause here because I
don't know about you, but to me this
says all, everything that is happening is said
here in general terms.
The wars, the injustices, the oppressions, the excesses,
the ruthlessness, the arrogance, the abuse of power,
the abuse of wealth, the immoralities, the decadence,
the scientific power and the technological power, all
of that is included in these statements.
And yet on other occasions he spoke of
even specifics.
صلى الله تعالى عليه و آله و صحبه
وسلم Now listen to this one, and in
a similar text and at the end of
it he says, and these things will not
happen, حَتَّى تَزُولَ جِبَالٌ
مِّن
مَرَاتِبِهَا Perhaps
we can bring the table closer?
This is as much as I can do.
The hour will not come, he says, and
these signs will not come, حَتَّى تَزُولَ جِبَالٌ
مِّن مَّرَاتِبِهَا وَفِي رِوَاتٍ عَنْ أَمَاكِنِهَا And until
mountains are removed from their locations.
Allahu Akbar Now with the huge tools that
we have, mountains are removed, literally, literally, for
mining, and for building roads, and for building,
what is it, tunnels, and I don't know
whether you know of Jabal Umar, the mountain
of Sayyiduna Umar in Mecca, around the Kaaba,
when I first saw it before all these
changes in the year 2000, the mountain was
there, nothing on it.
It's gone.
It's gone.
It's all now high rises.
حَتَّى تَزُولَ جِبَالٌ عَنْ أَمَاكِنِهَا Says Rasulullah ﷺ,
أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ
مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ Before I go on on
this, I'd like simply to make an inflection,
and to address in a similar theme, what
he said ﷺ before the coming of the
hour of things to happen.
Something in this case now more specific and
individual to us as Muslims.
And it is religious, and about faith, and
about ibadah, and about worship, and about obedience
of Allah عز و جل, and about what
will happen to this deen of what he
said.
I'm just being selective here.
There are hundreds of texts.
He said ﷺ, of what he said ﷺ,
أَوَّلُ مَا يُرْفَعُ مِن دِينِكُمْ أَلْأَمَانَةً أو أَوَّلُ
مَا تَفْقِدُونَ مِن دِينِكُمْ أَلْأَمَانَةً وفي رواية أَوَّلُ
مَا يُرْفَعُ مِن دِينِكُمْ أَلْحَيَاءُ وَالْأَمَانَةً وَآخِرُ مَا
يَبْقَى مِن دِينِكُمْ أَلصَّلَاةً وَلَيُصَلِّيَنَّ أَقْوَامٌ لَا خَلَاقَ
لَهُمْ وفي رواية وَسَيُصَلِّي أَقْوَامٌ لَا دِينَ لَهُمْ
وفي رواية لَا إِيمَانَ لَهُمْ بهذه الثلاث ألفاظ
جاء الحديث على الأقل أسفار زي نوم لَا
دِينَ لَهُمْ أَوْ لَا خَلَاقَ لَهُمْ أَوْ لَا
إِيمَانَ لَهُمْ said he صلى الله عليه وسلم
of the signs of the hour before the
coming of the hour he said you will
lose of your faith you will lose of
your deed i.e. you will give up
willingly willingly he says of your deed, of
your faith, of Islam he said of the
first thing that shall be lifted in one
riwayah says is الحياء والأمانة حياء
the more we live the more we are
subjected to the changes in this world the
more this particular trait and character is lost
should I translate حياء every Muslim and Muslima
I suppose knows حياء and we must because
there is no Islam without حياء there is
no Islam actually without حياء لأن رسول الله
صلى الله عليه وسلم said in what he
said faith and حياء we are all
connected if one of them is lifted the
other is lifted and he said صلى الله
تعالى عليه وآله وسلم every religion has a
character and the character of Islam الحياء said
he صلى الله عليه وسلم حياء and ايمان
and belief and faith قرنا جميعا they are
joined together if one of them is lifted
the other is lifted حياء he says every
deen has its defining characteristic or defining character
خلق and the defining character of Islam is
حياء that's why he said صلى الله عليه
وسلم of what we inherited of the wisdom
of those who were before us اذا لم
تستحي فاصنع ما شئت but if you lose
حياء then do what you want to do
freedom of the self that is equivalent to
no حياء freedom of the self that is
equivalent to no حياء فاصنع ما شئت when
you don't have حياء then you are free
to do what your نفس wants to do
that's what it means and the world brags
about freedom of the self and yet the
self is what was meant to be disciplined
to be tamed to be controlled to be
enveloped and kept and kept within certain fields
or premises or conditions so that it does
not go away and astray and becomes a
Shaytan in Islam we should talk not about
the freedom of the نفس but the freedom
of the روح the freedom of the قلب
from the نفس freedom from the self of
the heart of the soul of the intellect
of the mind and consequently of our words
and actions so he said ﷺ of the
first traits and defining characteristics of Islam that
we shall lose by we abandoning them is
حياء and حياء is that noble feeling of
feeling uncomfortable in the face of offending the
other with a word, with a look, with
an action that's why we feel uncomfortable inside
that's why we say he has so much
حياء or she has so much حياء that
when they are in front of somebody they
speak something their complexion turns red that's the
practical external manifestation of حياء ﷺ had
more حياء than a young unmarried woman in
her private quarters he was described by his
companions ﷺ كان أشد حياءا من العذراء في
خدرها العذراء the young woman in those days
it was fourteen centuries ago a young unmarried
woman who has never known man so shy
so bashful so innocent that she can't even
look at a man in those good old
days he had more حياء than such a
young woman like that in her even private
quarters imagine like that and in her private
quarters اللهم صلى على سيدنا محمد وعلى آله
and therefore حياء from each other حياء from
each other حياء from the elder حياء from
the teacher حياء from most importantly Allah عز
و جل Allah رسول الله صلى الله عليه
وسلم said استحيوا من الله حق الحياء said
Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم you must have
حياء from Allah very truly and very ardently
حق الحياء we will not put ourselves in
conditions which we know are not approved by
Allah عز و جل and we feel so
shy not afraid that's another مقام no there
are those who worship Allah because they have
حياء from Allah some people don't have no
حياء they are afraid so like I don't
want to say more than that like some
animals who have to be treated unfortunately little
bit toughly and roughly to refrain from doing
evil and to do good but there are
those who know الحمد لله it's not fear
but fear is recommended is necessary from Allah
but it's not that only what moves them
حياء from Allah that Allah that I know
that Allah sees me if you are my
dear brother or my dear sister if you
are that trying to be your best good
practicing Muslim morally and so on and you
would want to do something negative but then
you see an elderly beautiful white bearded saint
are you afraid of him no I can't
do this in front of him I can't
say that in front of him حياء said
Rasulullah or it is said said Sayyiduna Ali
ibn Abi Talib depending on the Asanid الحياء
حسن ولكنه في النساء أحسن حياء is beautiful
whether man or women from man or from
women but from women it is even more
beautiful والله إنه لحق a woman with حياء
والله is more beautiful than a woman without
حياء there are hearts that are skewed that
don't see properly there are hearts that are
sound that see ugliness in a man or
a woman when they think they are exposing
their beauty to such a heart it is
literally so ugly الحياء
حسن says Rasulullah حياء is beautiful when Rasulullah
saw a man reprimanding his own brother you
know that famous hadith reprimanding him that he
had too much حياء and he told him
this حياء of yours will take you nowhere
that is in your professional life endeavors etc
so he was admonishing him to have less
حياء be more aggressive be more aggressive he
says to him دعه leave him as he
is الحياء كله خير end of quote leave
him حياء all of it is beautiful we
never have enough حياء we have only less
حياء and this character will be lifted yes
from the world but from Muslims is it
happening yes it has started a while ago
and often times sometimes even in the fiqh
of some these principles are not considered are
forgotten something may be lawful but if it
violates the norm of حياء it shouldn't be
as long as it is not واجب or
حرام حرام if it violates the norm of
حياء it must not be allowed and second
he said trustworthiness to be a person who
is مأمون, who is أمين you all know
the word أمين رسول الله ﷺ was the
epitome of أمانة الأمين الصادق الأمين صلى الله
تعالى عليه و آله و صحبه و سلم
and our deen, the Qur'an and the
sunnah are prolific about emphasizing حياء and أمانة
and أمانة to the extent that a مؤمن
the word إيمان, مؤمن has in it a
derivation of أمن and أمان a مؤمن is
a مؤمن because those around him are in
أمان are in security in tranquility, in peace
in safety from him or her or them
of the first things that will be lifted
is أمانة we lose our sense of trustworthiness
يا لطيف يا لطيف I would say these
are examples of you will witness momentous things
that حياء is lifted سبحان الله and then
he said in that hadith that I shared
with you and the last of the elements
of Islam that shall remain and will be
last lost is صلاة صلاة many things will
be lost and here speaking of our moral
characteristics our أخلاق as Muslims and he called
that of your دين of the first thing
that shall disappear in our دين from us
is أخلاق the essential خلق of حياء and
أمانة and he said صلاة will be the
last one to disappear because intermittently some will
be performing صلاة still and they have no
faith لا إيمان لهم and some narration said
لا دين لهم they have no religion no
دين of Islam and in some رواية لا
خلاق لهم they have no share with Allah
in the value of their صلاة and their
صلاة is valueless لا خلاق لهم and لا
نصيب لهم من تلك الصلاة مع الله I
have to say this next one said Rasulullah
ﷺ another well known hadith أتنقضن عرى الإسلام
أتنقضن عرى الإسلام that is the basic structure
of Islam will be disentangled will be dismantled
gradually one by one one by one every
time one عروة is dismantled we the Muslims
the rest will be trying to hold fast
to the next one and then with time
the next one will also be gone will
be gone and try to hold to the
next one those who hold fast to their
deen somehow and the next one is gone
is gone meaning what?
the Muslims did it to themselves yes what
are the factors that would influence that that's
another discourse external and internal etc but in
other words people will make those choices he
said عروة عروة and the first of the
major عرى that would be dismantled التي تنتقض
هي ماذا who knows الحكم constitutionally
الحكم is gone الحكم بما أنزل الله بشرع
الله would be of the first major constitutional
values that shall be dismantled it has started
long ago it's getting worse and worse أولها
أولها نقضا الحكم وآخرها
he said صلاة yes and the last one
to remain would be صلاة and intermittently as
we said there are those who will continue
to so to speak perform صلاة but what
صلاة is it of
what he said صلى الله تعالى عليه و
آله و صحبه وسلم in what in what
imam el tabarani and others have related لا
تقوم الساعة حتى يتقارب الزمان وتزوى الأرض
زيها end of quote the hour will not
come until time will contract but يتقارب الزمان
excuse me i.e. the intervals of time
will draw nearer to each other what we
used to experience as one hour might be
experienced as a brief moment what we'd experience
as one year might be a month but
let's continue and see what could this mean
as some ulama have said in their scholarly
commentaries on these things وتزوى الأرض زيها it
became also closer to each other the parts
of parcels of earth are drawn nearer to
each other what do you think this could
mean pardon travel and therefore he is speaking
it seems of again scientific and technological advancement
where the means of transportation would be such
that or the means of doing other things
that which we would do in one year
we would do in a month that which
would cross of distance in one year would
cross in a month that which cross in
a month would cross in a week that
which cross in a week would cross in
a day that which cross or do in
a day would do or cross in an
hour that which do or cross in an
hour would do in a second and if
this is so that means that which cross
or do in a year we could do
or cross in a second because he said
there is a text, I can read it
to you he says until the year becomes
like a month a month becomes like a
week a week becomes like a day, a
day becomes like an hour an hour becomes
like the moment it takes to burn a
very dry leaf and that is by the
logic of B implies A implies B B
implies C, C implies D therefore D implies
A and that means what would be done
in a year could be done in a
second and transportation-wise nanotechnology it's
incredible sometimes the events in nature for a
certain reaction to take place how long does
it take years and years but with a
catalyst it's spontaneous yes you all know that,
some of you at least in your basic
chemistry classes subhanallah so he said sallallahu ta
'ala alayhi wa sallam in what the imam
al-Tirmidhi related and others la taqoom al
-sa'atu hatta ya taqarab al-zaman fatakoon
al-sanatu ka al-shahar he said it
literally fatakoon al-sanatu ka al-shahar wa
yakoon al-shaharu ka al-jumu'ah wa
takoon al-jumu'atu ka al-yawm wa
yakoon al-yawmu ka al-sa'ah wa
takoon al-sa'atu ka ihtiraq al-sa
'afah like what I said a moment ago
la taqoom al-sa'atu in what the
imam Ahmad related the hour will not come
upon us until hatta tazhar al-fitan until
tribulations and temptations and calamities will be more
and more prevalent manifest will be the order
of the day the order of life fitan,
tribulations and temptations wa tataqara bal-aswaq and
that markets draw close to each other are
you already used to it so that it
doesn't impress you anymore I'm impressed because I'm
not a google person I don't surf a
lot but he said it hatta tataqara bal
-aswaq you're here in what is this area
Pleasanton pleasant may it be Pleasanton and then
you buy something from Turkey from here and
it's delivered the next day or in two
days or three days tataqara bal-aswaq la
ilaha illallah in one text Rasulallah teaches tataqara
bal-aswaq to such an extent also and
there is plenty of commerce to the extent
that also women will be doing commerce with
their husbands he said and to the extent
when a woman a person I'm sorry a
man when he makes a deal a business
deal a commerce deal he says I will
not finalize it until I ask the opinion
of x and y in something somewhere very
far hatta as'ala fulan min bani fulan
I will not complete the deal until and
the deal of course it's in those days
just if you waited from Mecca to Medina
you wait until you get their opinion then
it's probably a month later and the business
is gone so he must have meant sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam something on the spot and
therefore alluding to the means of communication that
they would be so as we know them
and Allah knows what's in the future that
these things will happen wa yataqarab al-zaman
which he already commented on sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam he also said la taqoom al-sa
'atu hatta yakoona al-salamu ala al-ma
'rifah wa hatta tutakhad al-masajidu turuqa fala
yusjadu lillahi fiha ya Allah he said the
hour will not come until these things happen
until people greet one another only if they
know one another even Muslims will not say
salam to one another Muslims, if you don't
know him you don't say salam this means
this did not exist in our Salaf in
our earlier days in the days probably even
of our grandparents and now I don't know
her, why should I say salam to her,
the sisters the brothers, I don't know him
why should I say salam to him he's
a Muslim he's a Muslim he said it
will develop such that we will not greet
each other only if we know one another
is it happening?
and remember we learn these things so that
we simply not develop a statistical knowledge of
what's happening but instead so that we are
not part of the statistics we are not
part of the negative statistics we do make
choices and he says and until and time
will come masajid will be taken as pathways
I go to the masjid because it's my
way, go in and out to where I'm
going wallahi I have seen that and
people will not perform salah in it they
just take it as pathways some that means
in what al-imam al-nasa'i related
of the signs of the hour there will
be proliferation of wealth and you are in
the state of wealth state of money making
state and the area silicon valley and all
that which comes with it but in the
world overall in the muslim world in particular
there will be plenty of wealth when in
his time sometimes he himself and who he
was he goes out at night searching for
maybe there is someone who sees him and
invites him to have a bite to eat
at home you know some of those hadith
the wealth will be abundant as we
said commerce will be also widespread I want
to pause here for a moment and the
pen will be manifest yadhar not only appears
but yadhar the
pen
will be manifest or will be sovereign and
what is qalam not pen what is now
pen in modern times not only the pen
your computers your super computers your so called
smart phones are actually super computers it writes
it writes you dictate to it and it
writes it writes it's your qalam which also
means what that in the world literacy will
be prevalent people will know how to read
and write prevalently or
or or or or or that text which
I mentioned and that the person will make
a commerce deal or business deal and he
says no I will not complete it until
I seek the opinion of x and y
who lives far subhanallah related as I said
by imam an-nasa'i al-imam al
-darimi in his musnad and al-imam abu
nu'aym in his hilya related the following
inna allaha ta'ala qal that verily allah
subhana wa ta'ala said abuthul ilm fi
aakhir in his zaman I will spread ilm,
knowledge in the latter days I will make
it available to the extent hatta ya'lamahu
arrajulu walmaratu walabdu walhurru wassaghiru
walkabir I will spread it so much so
that everyone would have knowledge would have information
would have data says man and women he
says slave and free he says young and
old man and woman young and old, slave
and free all of them will have access
to it what does this say status of
the world now and the means of communication
to have access to knowledge to data, to
information and that means speaking in this indirect
way because these are prophecies is not going
to start describing to the people 14 centuries
ago about a computer or about AI innovations
they are to be said in terms that
are that are general and that have some
sense to those who are listening to it
also directly but can be appreciated by those
who will come later so he says until
and when that happens I did that of
them in other words I made knowledge available
to them including the knowledge of what of
the Quran and the sunnah and the fiqh
do we some people think they don't need
ulama go to Mr. Google Mufti Google they
say I'm learning these statements Sheikh Google Al
Allama Google Al Muhaddith Google Al Hafidh Google
he is good in some issues, some issues
there are many errors when it comes to
specific detailed knowledge yes it has the speed
of giving you data so the point is
I will spread it until it becomes available
in this way subhanallah end of quote when
I have done that with them then I
shall * them by my right upon them
in other words I've given them what they
need of tools to know of me and
to know of Islam and to know of
haram and halal and to know of moral
and immoral I made it accessible and available
wallahi al azeem there are now children who
would have access to instantaneous information than scholars
before who needed to work on it for
years to collect that information how long did
it take early scholars for example to find
a hadith in the books of hadith of
old sometimes it may take years now duck
in a few seconds it tells you where
all in every book you can find it
as long as those of course were entered
into the program subhanallah the point is then
that is I punish them because they know
and they don't practice because they know and
they reject because they know and they choose
to interpret it in the way the nafs
wants it to be interpreted and
as I said
I'm going to be selective and some things
I share depending on where I am and
who I am with and how much innocence
I see or how much challenge I see
as Rasulullah teaches us we should address one
another in ways that are plausible and bearable
sometimes we're not ready to bear yet time
will come when you if one is sincere
if we bear what we get and we're
sincere then Allah gives us more to bear
and to bear for our own good to
save us in what Imam Abu Ya'la
in his musnad and tabarani fil awsat related
said Rasulullah and please I repeat we're learning
these things because Rasulullah said and he said
that not to hurt us if we are
in the statistics but if we are believers
to wake us up oh my god I
am actually doing that ya Allah help me
repent help me reform, help me change not
of those who accuse Allah and his Rasul
when things don't go their way oh this
cannot be this cannot be, why?
because it doesn't sound right to me but
that's not faith that's not religion that's going
shopping in the markets deen means when god
speaks and we know that god speaks if
we do then no matter what it feels
we are ibad of Allah we are meant
to be loving surrendering creatures to the divine
in the way we think, in the way
we process, in the way we feel in
the way we speak in the way we
do, in the way we agree, in the
way we disagree nuslimu wajhana lillahi azawajal ashhadu
an la ilaha illallah wa ashhadu anna muhammada
rasulullah, the consequences of that practically an aqool
samina wa ataana so for us to learn
brothers and sisters for us to change because
there are many things as you already heard
that maybe we are ourselves violating of haya
as I said earlier of amana of hukum
we have to implore him for change and
help us to change in this text he
says, I repeat kayfa bikum ayyuhan nas says
he in what state do you think you
would be kayfa bikum bimana fi ayy halin
takoonoon wa kayfa yakoon wa raddukum kayfa bikum
ayyuhan nas how would you be people wan
idha tagha nisaukum wa fasaqa shababukum qalu
ya rasulallah in hadha laka'in qala naham
end of quote these texts existed from 14
centuries ago the hafadh had memorized them and
they were on the record he says how
would you be when your women will become
tyrannical tagha they exceed the boundaries and the
limits i.e. islamically speaking in the relationship
of worship of Allah azawajal in the relationship
with rasulallah salallahu alayhi wa sallam in the
relationship socially in the relationship with the world,
with you family wise etc they would be
tughat they would behave in ways that are
excessive tagha al ma'u i.e. the
water went overboard and overthrew inna inna lamma
tagha al ma'u hamalnakum fil jariyah this
is tagha nisa'ukum and wa fasaqa shababukum
and when your youth will be wicked fasaq
fasaqatil habba the seed broke out of the
shell broke out of the shell fasaqatil habba
so fasaq is when we translate usually in
english as wickedness rebelliousness etc fasaq in other
words it breaks from the shell from the
norms no more obedience to the parents no
more respect for the elder no more haya
aggressive in behavior in action, in reaction etc
under these conditions when everybody is taught to
be aggressively expressive that would lead gradually to
a sort of character building that is aggressive
and therefore lack of haya and therefore fasaq
let me do what I want you don't
have control over me and by laws nowadays
in some lands introduced in muslim countries also
you do not have the right to tell
your minor kid to do certain things or
not to do certain things contributing to the
actual open fasaq breaking from the shell in
society and he said that will happen fasaq
so the companions said ya rasulallah will that
really happen these are the companions men and
women ya rasulallah will that really happen he
said naam yes may allah save us our
children our spouses our families our loved ones
our neighbors and all muslims from these yaani
momentous events as he mentioned and much more
I'm looking
for one I'm going to close with because
there are many many of them I'm just
a selection this is not
a terrible thing that happens and he's speaking
of in the world but he's speaking to
muslims also in what and others related end
of quote of the signs of the hour
is that men will suffice themselves with men
and women with women that didn't exist
in his time in his environment especially in
the arab environment in the muslim environment but
he says it's not just occasional things happening
that means it will be prevalent in ashrat
al sa'a it's not that something out
of the norm ashrat al sa'a when
things are described means they become like normative
he speaks in other hadith when time will
come that people who are religious and practicing
their deen and perform salat will be frowned
upon will be frowned upon will be debased
will be rejected like you now he says
you reject an adulterer time will come when
there are those who will reject the musalli
or the musalliya right those who perform salat
will be frowned upon that is in muslim
societies not only outside he says he
says end of quote have you seen that
already after 9-11 many people said no
i'm not a muslim i don't even pray
wallahi this happened in an airport when they
used to stop anybody unjustly one fellow miski
may allah forgive us and forgive him they
stopped him and he did everything to look
to look like him and then at one
point he says i told them why do
you keep doing that to me i don't
even pray la ilaha illallah la ilaha illallah
because some become afraid become afraid to pray
because they are frowned upon because they are
hurt because they are underscored in reality there
is a lot more to be shared but
the intent behind this my dear brothers and
sisters for myself first and then you to
put in perspective what is happening in this
world and yes there are texts about what
is happening in the middle east but i
thought at this moment those things you probably
have heard some about it but this perhaps
you didn't to put all things in perspective
i shared i prefer to share these texts
or the likes of these texts so that
we don't we should stop sometimes simply pointing
the finger at the other who is hurting
us which is true we are hurt by
the others that's a fact and we have
to deal with it but not to forget
what we are causing to ourselves and these
texts and these texts is all about we
doing things and often times we don't pay
enough attention to them we belittle them and
yet big changes come through what incremental changes
smaller changes little by little little by little
until when it becomes big it's too late
to change it because we got used to
it already gradually and i mentioned this so
that i remind myself first and implore Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala to help me not
be one of those negative harmful statistics نسأل
الله اللطيف العليم الكريم الحليم الذي أمره إذا
أراد شيئا إنما يقول له كن فيكون أن
يحفظنا بما يحفظ به عباده الصالحين أن يقول
للخير فينا كن فيكون وأن يقول للشر فينا
قف ودع اللهم أحببنا وحاببنا ولا تجعل الدنيا
أكبر أهمنا ولا مبلغ علمنا اللهم انصرنا وانصر
بنا واجعلنا هادين مهديين لا ظالين ولا مظلين
لا ظالمين ولا باغين ولا طاغين ولا عادين
يا رب يا أرحم الراحمين يا أكرم الأكرمين
may Allah bless you all my dear brothers
and sisters may Allah bless you may Allah
bless you all and please forgive me for
anything that I have said or expressed that
was inappropriate please forgive me and I seek
Allah's forgiveness and I seek refuge in him
that I remind you of him and yet
myself forget him السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

hurt his finger or something can you take
