Mufti Menk – When the Ummah Bleeds

			Salam alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakato
		

			Bismillah Alhamdulillah wa Salatu was Salam ala rasulillah Allah Allah He was happy at mine.
		

			My beloved brothers dearest listeners, viewers, may Allah subhanho wa Taala grant us from his mercy.
Indeed we are fortunate to be from the oma of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and we are
very, very fortunate to have his guidance at all times, which is from Allah subhanho wa Taala. One
of the major teachings of Islam happens to be enshrined in the Quran where Allah subhanho wa Taala
says, regarding the rights that we have over one another
		

			in Malmo, Amina Eco,
		

			Eco, what Kula Allah Allah come to her moon, indeed, the believers, which means ultimate meaning,
the true believers, are those who are brethren.
		

			And
		

			Allah says, Therefore, you should make peace between the two of you, who are either quarreling or at
war, or have misunderstanding, in order that you collectively and individually achieve the mercy of
Allah. If I want the mercy of Allah, myself, I need to make peace between others. When we say that
automatically, it would mean I should be the furthest away from being the problem myself, I should
be the furthest away from creating issues. If Allah has instructed me to solve the matters of
members of the oma, do you really think that it would be permissible and okay for me to be the
initiator of the problems that would be found. So by Allah telling you a slay hobeika awaken, he is
		

			already telling you that you're not supposed to have made issues in the first place. But if there is
an issue that happens to exist among the members of the oma, what you and I need to know is that we
must be feeling that we want to make the peace now when you want to make peace. There are many
categories of people some might not be interested, what should you do? Some might be unfair. What
should you do like Allah subhanho wa Taala says,
		

			What
		

			if attorney mineral macmini Nevada turnover attorney Oba Hama, same Surah Surah Allah, Allah says
when two groups of the believers are fighting each other or killing each other, make peace between
them. If one of them thereafter is transgressing against the other than it is your duty to fight
that one, to fight that one until they come back to what is just what is correct what is right. And
then Allah says, You are brothers, you must always make peace. Now, if we believe we are true,
meaning we would automatically as part of our Eman never create problems for others unnecessarily.
Number one, number two is we would feel hurt when there is a problem anywhere across the globe. And
		

			people are fighting each other especially when they on both sides are uttering the Shahada, La ilaha
illAllah Muhammad Rasul Allah, then thirdly, if you were to try to make that piece and you
succeeded, you will achieve and if you try to make the piece and you did not succeed, you get the
reward of having tried. But that trial is definitely something necessary. Now. Today we are speaking
upon the backdrop of the issues we are facing globally as a Muslim oma one disaster that we have is
shaytaan has come to us and make us point fingers at one another. Look, there is a problem in this
country, that country, what are you doing about it? I mean, why point? Did the professor seldom ever
		

			tell us that what are you doing about it odd tell us, each one should be worried about what he is
doing based on his own capacity. You have a person walking on the street who's jobless homeless,
perhaps his only connection is that of a man and Islam and he is a good Muslim. What do you expect
from him? Besides do? What do you expect from him? Besides crying to Allah? Do you really think the
warring factions would even be interested in listening to what he has to say? Do they even count
him? That's a question. So each one based on his capacity should try to do whatever he can without
pointing a finger at the others because the minute you point a finger at the others, you have
		

			diverted from the problem itself, and you started a new problem. What's the new problem? We are at
war because I feel you are not doing what I think you are able and capable of doing and you should
be doing. That's now a new problem. I start hating others based on the fact that I think they're not
doing what I want them to do. SubhanAllah sometimes we have people who, for example, say let's
protest for a certain cause, fair and good. There are some people who feel that that's okay based on
certain conditions based on some of these
		

			The do's and don'ts. If so many conditions are met in certain nations, perhaps where that might be
effective to a certain degree, they may be a scope of some form of benefit of it, to say the least
maybe conscient tising people, but if it's coming about with a lot of negativity and sin, and a lot
of evil and sinful deeds that are occurring, we're in the process of trying to solve a matter. It is
called tahirul Moncure, Bill Moncure, which is not allowed. You are trying to change something evil
with another thing that is equally evil, or something else that's evil. So think about it, will your
action solve the problem? What is your capacity? Do you believe you want to be a part of a certain
		

			type of action, you are a human being you're a Muslim, if you don't believe that you want to be a
certain a part of a certain type of action, no problem, you can be a part of a different type of
action. There are some people who firmly believe that you know what I have, I'm going to get up for
Salah tahajjud on a daily basis at the time prescribed by Allah, not prescribed by another human
being at a time prescribed by Allah, and I will cry to Allah and weep, we're lucky that can change
the world. tahajjud has changed the world but that alone Subhan Allah, you need to understand Allah
would inspire other human beings to do other things, collectively, the problem will be resolved. So
		

			when you see a resolution of a problem, don't ever say, Well, those people were not involved because
perhaps it was one of their daughters that actually achieved the ultimate that was achieved.
		

			And at the same time, there might be some in the political hierarchy who might be able to do much
more, maybe they were able to put pressure depending on what the problem is. So these are words of
guidance. I think what have what has driven me to say this is because the Prophet Muhammad Salam
says manana Caledonia you know, they should do Babu Baba, the believers are like a, like a building.
You know, the bricks of the building are all together. And each one holds the other one up can just
still work it according to one narration. Either step come in Hello, do tada Allahu sayo Jessa Devi,
sorry, welcome. Maroon, the believers feel like they are part of one strong body and they are. So if
		

			any part of the body is in pain, the entire body is in pain and suffers with insomnia and so on. We
shouldn't be feeling for one another. But when you feel for one another, what should you do about
it? Number one, call out to Allah. Number two, don't ever do something destructive. You don't solve
a problem by creating two problems. You don't ever go and try to bring about resolution to a matter
by creating three or four matters that are even worse. You have to be wise that's why Allah says
what Elijah
		

			Minami will have the other will be what I will not do in a rasuna ina only remain home. Now alima
hoon learning is telling me no Unum. Allah speaks about the hypocrites and Allah says whenever there
is news or information or something classified regarding a peace or war regarding that which is, you
know, some private information or something to do with the security of the oma. Some people who are
hypocrites are quick to announce it, they quit to make news out of it. Yet they haven't solved the
matter had they returned it had they reflected it with Allah and His Russell's teachings. And at the
time of the prophet SAW Salem with the prophet SAW Selim himself, as well as those with knowledge
		

			they would have been able to come about with a better solution, or with some form of way of looking
at it that would be more enlightened. And this is why we say always speak to the wise, before you
try to do something you think is wise. May Allah subhanho wa Taala grant us a deep understanding, we
set aside a little moment to pray for our brothers and sisters across the globe. If we were to say
where they are suffering, one lucky we would miss out certain people. So we are going to say
blanket, they are suffering across the globe, it's not fair for us to pick up one and not the other.
Many people are saying, oh, there's a problem in this part of the globe. Well, there are similar
		

			problems in many other parts of the globe. We don't want to belittle the plight of our brothers and
sisters who are suffering and struggling, Oh Allah, we ask you to grant them ease. We ask you to
grant them victory. We ask you to open their doors and each one of us in our own capacities, we ask
you to help us to do whatever we can to be able to assist our brothers and sisters in Islam. I want
to end off by saying my brothers and sisters, let's never point at another saying you should be
doing this. And why didn't you do this? Because that itself is part of Shetlands plan. He wants to
occupy you in saying what other people didn't do that they should have done in the interim. What on
		

			earth have you done? Many people think well I treated while I did this. I did that. To be honest
with you. Do you really think that you're going to solve the problems of the oma just
		

			by a tweet or two, just by making a big noise about it in one way or another, on its own,
collectively I agree. But on its own if everyone did only what you did, the problem would never be
solved. And if everyone pointed fingers at others, again, the problem would never be solved. We need
love understanding and we need a very, very deep concern for the schema that is positive, not
negative. May Allah bless all of us and grant us ease akula Kali ha that was all Allahu Allah wa
barik ala nabina Muhammad
