We are gathered here again, alhamdulillah,
in one of the last nights,
subhanallah and Ramadan.
We're in the final stretch right now.
These beautiful times, these nice reminders,
should not come to an end after Ramadan.
As here in EPIC, alhamdulillah, we we are
committed
to giving,
the same types of vibes, insha Allah
And we're gonna step it up a notch.
More than the way it was before Ramadan,
after Ramadan. So
everybody if you're enjoying it, alhamdulillah, if you
feel like your spirituality increased, your connection to
Allah increased, your taqwa increased,
then
it'll continue to increase after
The masjid is here to facilitate that.
We
So today, inshallah, I wanna talk about an
interesting subject.
We live
in a We live in very challenging times
today. Right?
And
people around the world
are are drowning in materialism
and in the world and in the race
for money.
Right? Trying to get more beautiful. Trying to
make as much money as you can. Trying
to get the highest education degrees. Everything is
materialistic.
Right? And this is the type of world
we live in nowadays. Right?
It's hard
for some
to realize,
some Muslims I'm saying,
to understand
how important
Islam is for the rest of the world,
and what the people are losing by not
being Muslim.
Do you get what I'm saying? We live
in a pluralistic society. You know, we live
we we we live to next to people
of different faiths.
Christians, Jews, Buddhist, Hindus. We're all they're our
neighbors. We treat them nice. They treat us
nice. They might visit us for Ramadan. Say,
congratulations.
Have a happy Ramadan and what not. You
know, they'll send us a message. Do
this. And living in this type of society,
we might get lost in this
pluralistic trend, you know. Just accepting everyone for
their faiths and what not because that is
the the liberal kind of leftist type of
trend that that we are experiencing. Right?
And
with this, we might lose track
of something very important.
What is the world
losing
by not being Muslim?
Why are we calling the rest of the
world to Islam?
You know, can't we just
We're born Muslim. We happen to be from
Muslim descent. Let everybody do whatever they're saying,
you know. Let's all accept each other. No.
No. No. Because as Muslims we have to
understand
that the world
is losing a lot by not being muslim.
Why is the world losing a lot by
not being muslim?
First of all, before we begin, it's our
responsibility as Muslims to give dua. Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala said,
Right? You're the best people,
the best ummah, the best nation that mankind
had ever seen because you call them to
that which is good and you forbid them
from that which is evil.
Right?
Like And many ayat, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
tells us why we are a good ummah.
And connecting it to what?
To establishing salah, to call into good, forbidding
evil, and so on and so forth.
Like,
we're not here like, you see, in the
world today, we see people being controlled, like
pawns, in the hands of people being controlled,
like pawns, in the hands of people being
controlled,
like pawns,
like pawns
in the hands of the big oppressors,
the major corporations,
the superpowers.
Right? And the poor, the masekeen are being
oppressed,
and they're being controlled,
and they're being manipulated,
and wars are being instigated amongst them. For
what? Subhanallah.
For what?
This is not
the
this is not the environment. This is not
the world that Islam wants. This is why
the world
needs Islam. There's a book.
There's a book by
Imam Abu Hassan in Nadeawi.
He it's called, what what did the world
lose by leaving Islam?
And it's a nice book. He details many
reasons. So you can go and read it.
So,
when 99%
of the world's
wealth
is controlled by 1%
of the people.
99%
of the wealth
is in the hands of 1 the top
1%.
This is why Islam is relevant.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said,
So the wealth
continues to spread equally amongst everyone. The rich
has to give the poor zakah.
The rich has to give sadaqa. The rich
have to give kafarat.
The rich have to do certain things
to keep the wealth
rotating so it could keep spinning.
Means
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is saying,
the reason
that Allah placed this system of wealth distribution
in the Quran.
And, Quran, it's very detailed and we can
study it. It's so that
the top don't keep all the wealth amongst
them. The contractors,
the business the businessmen,
the
the the big big merchants, the big politicians,
the big countries, you know, the people with
the most resources are that own them. They
can't control everything.
That's why Allah placed a system in the
Quran so that what is happening right now
in the world
doesn't happen. But it's happening because the world
does not have Islam.
When 26 people
own more than 50% of the world's population.
26 people own more than 50%
of the people's population.
Allahu Akbar. This is why Islam is relevant.
This is why the world needs Islam.
This is why we need to keep giving
da'wah. It's our responsibility.
It's our responsibility. If I tell you this
I'll give you an
example. Examples are good. I like giving like
little story examples because it makes things memorable.
So
let's say there's a doctor.
There's a doctor
that knows how to work a machine,
an oxygen machine, a high-tech oxygen machine.
The pandemic
is spreading. It's fast, and he has a
vacation.
But the pandemic is spreading fast, and people
are being
entered into the hospital left and right. And
if he is not there,
the people are going to die.
If he goes home and sits home, and
lets the people die,
is he held responsible or not?
He says, Yeah. This is my vacation. I
don't care. Like if they die,
You know, it's not my problem.
Do you think it's his fault?
Do you think he's held accountable for sitting
at home when he's able to save them?
Hundreds of people can die because of him,
but and he's able and capable. If he
put some time, he can do it. But
he just doesn't want to. Is he responsible
for it or not?
Yes or no? Who says no?
Alhamdulillah. Everyone says yes.
He is responsible. Taib, when we see the
world drowning in darkness of kufr, the world
drowning in darkness of death, People left and
right, wars being instigated
just so the wealthy contractors,
the wealthy
weapons companies can sell these poor people
weapons to kill each other. And then destroy
their own houses, and then buy materials
from
the cousin of the weapon owner's company, the
the owner of the
It's like they have this deal. Look, I'll
sell I'll sell you the weapons to destroy
the houses, and I'll sell the concrete and
steel back to them. And then just keep
milking them, and milking them, and milk.
Subhanallah.
This darkness that we live in, Youkhwad,
Islam is the only solution for it. Because
if
things are left to the whims and desires
of humanity,
they're going to fall into
what? The darkness.
And they're going to fall into the traps
of shaitaan. This is what shaitaan wants.
This is what shaitaan wants
with the world.
There's a talk called the there
there's a there's a book called the shock
doctrine.
The shock doctrine.
The author's name is Naomi something, a Canadian
author. And this author talks about how
wars
are instigated
by the wealthy
for the benefit and profit of the wealthy.
So that they can stay wealthy and keep
the money
amongst themselves. Subhanallah.
And how it's being done over and over
with different countries. These poor countries in Africa,
in Asia, and different
all over subhan'al and South America
pumped, subhan'Allah.
The same people that sit down on a
table and eat, they plan a war.
Then they plan reviving of an economy of
a car. And then rebuilding it. And then
do Subhanallah.
Allah, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala placed the best
system so that it's not exploited, so that
the weak is not oppressed, so that the
rich do not step on top of their
heads all the time. This is this is
the system from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
Only Allah's system can solve these problems.
When in Europe,
abortions
are skyrocketing
to the point where you know what they
do with children? I don't know if there
are any doctors.
Aborted children in Britain,
they take this child, subhanallah, it's alive. Sometimes
a week before, 2 weeks, 3 weeks before
they're due.
They take the child, a living child, and
they use them as fuel to heat the
the the hospital.
They burn this child, the soul, subhanallah, that
Allah made them responsible for. They burn them
so that they can heat up that hospital.
This is in Britain and there's evidence for
this.
When in some countries, some Western countries right
now,
you
have boxes
where you drop off bastard children. Like, a
mother doesn't wanna have a child. She doesn't
know who the father is. She doesn't want
that headache. There's this thing, you just pull
it, it's like a drawer. You go, you
put the baby, It's
done. The baby's gone.
And these children, you you think, Oh, there
is they aren't that much, you know. There's
one No. Some European countries, these are 40
50% of the population.
You believe this?
Some countries, it's 40 50%.
These people hate
society.
They hate them on the meaning of family.
How
can you have a society that rejects morality
by doing this?
Family is a moral structure. Right? That when
someone grows up
and there's nothing,
they don't know any morality.
There's no gender.
There's no right. Everything is subjective. It's everything
is, you know, objective, objective morality. Right? Whatever
it is. Subhanallah. They
they suck these ideas, these ideologies that are
very oppressive to humanity by the
way. That that lead
us to more and more darkness.
That are they continue to dig us underground.
And these people come from these bad backgrounds,
hating society,
and feeding this
system of evil. Subhanallah.
All of this, sujha, and I can go
on with a lot of examples. Right? I'm
already done with time. But I'll end it
with a point.
This only means all these examples
are only reasons why
humanity needs dawah.
They need Islam.
Without Islam,
look, this is what's gonna happen.
Guys, you know, as as Muslims, you might
not know what's going on, but I urge
you to read.
See how deep these people are falling.
You might be deluded by these inventions.
These people are making
look the microphone. Look, they make the cameras
and the lights. Yeah. They make the high
what are Muslims making?
We make people.
We make upright people.
Our Umma
produces.
Subhanallah,
people, the materialistic world invested in what? In
materialistic
things like plastic and metal.
Allah invested
in Adam alaihis salaam and his progeny.
And this is the best investment.
Wallahi, I remember in the economy class there's
a Jew a Jewish teacher who taught me.
He was a republican.
He told me,
everybody, what do you invest in? Real estate.
What do you invest in? IT, what do
you invest in? He told me, what do
you invest in? I used to go to
his class with the. You know, he knew
I was Muslim.
And he was like, what do you invest
in? I'm like, I invest in myself.
I keep increasing in knowledge.
I I learn new things. I apply new
things in my life. He's like,
you're smart. You'll be a good republican one
day.
That's what he was thinking. But
but just to let you know, Islam, we
need to give dawah. We invest in humanity,
and we need to give back, insha Allah
ta'ala. And we need to use this knowledge
that we got here in the masjid during
Ramadan, all the knowledge that we have to
spread Islam out there because humanity needs it.
We ask Allah to use us to spread
Islam. We ask Allah to use us to
spread the dua of Islam.
Use us in giving dua to our colleagues
at work, to our classmates in school, to
our family members who aren't Muslims, to our
friends, to our neighbors.
We ask
Allah to make us a reason for them
to enter Islam.
Make it a duty. From now till next
Ramadan,
bring 1 person to convert in the masjid.
Right? One person. You could be your neighbor,
could be your class
You're not gonna know how easy it is
until you try it.
Sometimes I talk to people, 10 minutes they
become
They're like, oh, this is You believe in
this? Like, yeah. I believe in it too.
Well, you've been working. I've been with them
for 2 years.
We just never spoke. Right? So make it
a duty for you to call people to
Islam, so we can help uplift this darkness
that we're in
and solve the the problem with humanity today.
Please turn off your alarms.
