Muhammad West – Palestine is Winning

			Hola Hola. shaytaan rajim Bismillah R Rahman Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa Salatu was
Salam ala shuffleboard city and Sadie now Mohammed in Wailea here was like Benchmade. I said Mr. Ali
come up with a low but I go to Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen always forever we'll begin by
praising Allah and eyeshadow Allah Allah Allah Allah will testify that there is none worthy of
worship besides Allah subhanaw taala and we send our love our greetings salutations, so beloved Nabi
Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, to all the Gambia and to all of their family members and all
those who follow them until the end of time. May Allah bless us to be amongst them. Amin well
		

			hamdulillah
		

			it's been difficult. Two months now, almost the conflict and the crisis in Palestine. Now for many
people, it might be a sense of fatigue, a sense of
		

			seeing these images constantly and waiting for an outcome
		

			waiting for something positive. You'll find in the Quran where Allah subhanaw taala mentions to the
believers that do not think when something bad happens to you, it is necessarily bad. Without a
doubt, the death of children, the death of people, the bombing of people is bad. But Allah subhanho
wa Taala has view of things a lot bigger than poverty, sickness, life and death almost view is the
akhira Allah's objective is the Jana Allah's objective is eternal happiness. And so Allah subhanaw
taala says to Aisha, in the time of the
		

			salon, do not think this is bad for you, it's good for you in the long run. And can we take
something positive from this crisis? Is there something that we can benefit from and inshallah we
talk about how Allah subhanaw taala brings about calamities catastrophes so that a good outcome may
be achieved.
		

			The Battle of water bottle of water is with the Muslims for the first time for a superpower the
Sahaba they were sent to fight a Arab tribe were killed a Muslim Ambassador than me some sent they
sent him with a letter. And this tribe killed us ambassador. So there might be some Simian Army, a
small army, a battalion to discipline this tribe. When they got there, this tribe was allied with
Rome, were the superpower of the time. And so the Sahaba not intending to fight the superpower found
themselves in a situation where they faced for the Romans. And the Sahaba were without them to be
Salam. He did not attain the campaign, because it wasn't expected to be so severe. And so the Sahaba
		

			decided, what should we do? Should we return should we fight should we wait for instructions and
Abdullah ibn Nottawasaga, Alana one of the great companions of the unthought, he recites I give the
speech, and he says in the midst of this crisis, this calamity, he says, oh people, by Allah, what
do you not want to what what you what you do not want is martyrdom, but it's actually what you
should be wanting. Your objective should not be life or death. It should be Jana and to be a Shaheed
everybody makes it dua, Manana. Begin we're Siddiqui and we're Shuhada. We will make to our I want
to be with the Shahada. Allah has presented this thing before you now we do not fight. So he says to
		

			the Ummah and he says to all of us, in war, we know this will not fight because we are more in
number. Allah does not do we don't get victory and defeat because of our numbers, or our weapons, or
our horses or cavalry's or the of the enemy, but because of the religious power with Allah has
granted us our fight is a model and adjustment.
		

			So go and fight and you will have Allah promises you will have one of two things whenever you stand
up for something which is good, whether you're in Palestine fighting Israel, whether you're a year
speaking out against oppression, whether you are boycotting a certain company, whether you're
speaking up in your corporate Allah
		

			100 data promises you have one of two successes, but you will be successful. Either you would win, a
lot will give you victory, or you die and you get martyrdom, you get even the bigger victory. So
then he reminds the Sahaba remember the battle a battle, we only had two horses, and we want in the
Battle of boyhood, when one horse and if it is written in the color of Allah that will beat the
enemy. That is as Allah promised, it's gonna happen. Allah's plan will come to pass, and Allah will
not break his promise. And if martyrdom is certain in your taqdeer, then Alhamdulillah, Allah has
given you a great reward to get to join. Ultimately, we see things as calamity Allah sees it as an
		

			opportunity. So let's see five benefits or five instances where Palestine is actually winning in
spite of law make it easy. It's easy for us to say that when he said our children being dug out of
rubble, but five things which show that Palestine is winning the first point, and this is pretty
clear, the complete utter failure of a country which believed to be invincible, as we said,
September, not too long ago, they were bold enough to say that the Palestinian cause is dead. We
don't even worry about the Palestinians. We don't even come were concerned about the minimum. And
never before did the Israelis look so powerful, but look at them now. And Allah says in the Quran,
		

			what is abundant within a CAFO and they're not the those who disbelieve everything, that because we
extended the time we allowed them, it was better for them it was Leon who seemed as a good thing,
Allah says I did not give them victory and success, because it was good for them in Mr. Lunalilo,
whom we only extended it for them. So they may increase in the destruction in the sin. And for them
is humiliation, a humiliating punishment in the dunya and akhira. So Allah subhanho wa Taala
promises and if you need the Quran, you read the Bible, you read the Old Testament, the Torah, a
common theme throughout is that the bad guy always loses. And the bad guy is always stronger. And
		

			it's always David and Goliath, Goliath always loses. So I don't know why any country thinks that if
I am unjust, I will succeed, eventually, you will fail. And it's just a matter of time, whether it
is now whether it is in the future, but ultimately, Israel will fall, it will fall, we don't have to
even like chant, it's gonna happen, because unless it changes, but this is this is the promise from
Allah. And so Allah mentions that, and again, is to think about this. The fourth most powerful army
in the world is not fighting another army. It's not even fighting another country, it's fighting a
group of civilians, and it cannot win for one month, with the most advanced technology, planes,
		

			tanks, and it can't win. All those people that it's killed, how many of actually Hamas fighters, how
much of the objectives of the achieved, and so it shows when every passing day, the humiliation and
the failure becomes clear. And so Allah is defeating them. And they have lost so much of the support
that they had before. And the world is condemning them. And subhanAllah. We are happy that even in
South Africa this weekend, and if you fall in the news, that it was voted in Parliament, that South
Africa will cut ties and close the embassy with Israel, it was something which our parliament,
whether it's going to be action by the government allow them, but it was a statement made by our
		

			parliament, one of them and we all walk like a non Muslim country, we've stood up on moral grounds
and said that this is we are against what's happening in Israel. And there are many, many more
countries. If you look at the list of countries every day, more and more people, more and more
governments are turning against Israel. So whatever happens at the end of this conflict, and we make
the other piece comes, the damage that it's done to the oppressor, and the tyrant in the eyes of the
world is irreversible, irreversible, they have lost so much credibility, that they are now known as
an apartheid state, not by us globally, they are known words like genocide, crimes against humanity,
		

			these things are they're being taken to court. So this is the beginning. This is the beginning of
Allah unraveling the power bit by bit.
		

			The second victory Alhamdulillah for the first time in 7578 years, it's genuinely seen that the tide
is turning on the ground towards Palestine. For the first time now that people are not being
indoctrinated by fake news and propaganda they get to see now on the phones live what is really
happening. Humanity is making the decision, and they are standing with the oppressed against the
oppressor. This graph is very interesting, that since October, if you look at the number of pro
Palestinian versus pro Israeli support in social media, it's more than double pro Palestinian. It's
not just Muslims, this is globally. The amount of social media
		

			propaganda and billions being funded against Israel is completely overrun, overshadowed by the
amount of change that you and I are doing. Not coordinated not far.
		

			In the purchase people sharing the views sharing the story, sharing the pictures, it is changing
narrative. Never before has Palestine received this. So while we again see the trauma, on the other
hand, Allah is giving victory in a way which we can't understand. And we see on the streets,
hundreds of 1000s of people in the biggest capitals of the world marching, didn't see that before.
And this is something which people the governments are taking note of. It is shows. And this leads
to the next point. We also the strength that Palestine has given all of us
		

			shows who really has power in this world, because of the people marching on the streets. Governments
who are signing treaties with Israel, are canceling those treaties, not because they care about the
palace. Let's be frank, not those governments who didn't care about Palestine. They care about
staying in power. But they have realized I made the answer to my people in Cairo, I better answer to
my people in Tehran, or in Istanbul. And if I don't do what the people's I'm not going to put myself
on the line. Governments are changing the stance because they realize the strength is in the people.
Corporations are forcing to change their stance, because as mighty as they are they billions mean
		

			nothing without customers.
		

			They don't want to this week Subhanallah you know, I look at a certain organization, a major
corporation basically came capping hand what he did about the certification, tiny certification, but
if
		

			Muslims boycott a certain company,
		

			and I asked this executive directly, what is the certification mean to you? How much is it worth
because in terms of rands, you'll be very shocked what Halal certificates go for, you will be
shocked, you will actually cry. How is it so yummy only CA certificate probably cost you more. And
I. And he said, you know, if I lose my certificate, if we lose a certificate, we don't just lose the
ticket, we lose an entire community, a whole segment, whether it's the granting baking a cake,
whether it is the kids eating chocolate, we lose an entire demographic, millions and millions. Now
what I realized at that moment is the power is in the hands of the people, not corporations. Without
		

			the people there are no political rulers, without the people, you will have customers, you don't
have companies that think that they are invincible without your followers, your influences mean
nothing. And so really, the Palestinians are teaching us that it is the people on the ground that
will dictate what happens at the end if the people are given a certain way. Victory isn't that side.
And that's why this look at this beautiful Hadith that Islam says that Allah Himself says, Allah
says seek My pleasure.
		

			Allah says make me happy through the week amongst you how you treat the weak amongst you. For vainly
you are granted risk provisions and you're granted victory through them.
		

			Allah gives you victory through the weak. Allah gives you strength through the weak how you treat
the weak amongst you in your side. And then it says Indeed, Allah supports this OMA through the week
members by the supplication by the PRI and by the sincerity. And so this entire Ummah is in a weak
state, this entire Ummah is in a broken state. And Allah took the most broken the weakest in terms
of financial or opera in terms of dunya perspective, and they are building the entire Ummah they
strengthen the entire Ummah, the entire world.
		

			It was the Jumpstart that we needed. And it's not just to us, something for those of you who are
online, you would seen a strange phenomenon, how many non Muslims are embracing Islam.
		

			Just as here our Blue cup hub, the Burano hub, we've got a few Palestinian flags. I was informed by
the office that they're getting unprecedented amount of calls by non Muslims asking more about
Islam, they have literature about Islam, we want to learn more.
		

			Allah subhanho wa Taala is opening hearts that would never have thought about Islam through this.
Yes, people are dying, it said, but Allah is giving life to people who are completely dead to Islam.
And Allah Subhana Allah says that while they are fighting you need to undo to undo what Allah that
they are fighting hard spending billions to extinguish the light of Allah. Well yeah, Allah, Allah
and your team and neuro neuropil But Allah refuses that he's like will be extinguished, except that
he will perfect his light, although the disbelievers dislike it, but no matter how much you're how
many armies you have, how much how much propaganda you have, you can answer Hello, they're holding
		

			all the cards on the Davidic but they can't when
		

			they've bombed and, you know, done everything that humans possibly could do. But this woman will not
go away and Islam who continue to spread and become stronger Subhanallah and that is what Allah
subhanaw taala is showing
		

			that if you follow again, if you look at tick tock how many non Muslims and you know what they do,
they will watch a video of a Palestinian. The man is kissing. His is
		

			The the body of his of his of his child that has died
		

			and he won't be screaming and using Allahu Akbar he will be praising Allah. His Eman is ro Eman will
come through. And you're watching this wherever you are in the world. And you think, how is this
possible? How can a person lose his house, his whole family, everything in a split second, but he's
still praising Allah subhanaw taala he still has the composure to go and make salah.
		

			Any with his grief and his tears, you will not say my daughter, my son, they said they have been a
cheerleader in Jannah. So for a person who doesn't know the desert, no religion, he lived a life
just going to work coming home planning my next holiday, he looks at this and he thinks, what two
strings does this man have? If I lose my job tomorrow, my life falls over this man lost everything.
But he's got a bit of contentment. And I have How is this possible? So then it forces them to open
up the Quran? What is this book? What is this religion that these people have? And for the first
time, people are experiencing, seeing the sweetness of Islam, which Allah has given us for free,
		

			basically, they are seeing it for the first time 1000s and 1000s of people are embracing Islam. So I
was shocked to think that year cukup basically the middle of nowhere, that non Muslims are asking,
don't you have classes for people wanting to understand more about Islam want to know more? We're
interested,
		

			as Allah says, hold of the other Salah Rasulullah will be Houda within that He sent His messenger
with a true religion liyu the hero who Aladeen equally so that it may become apparent. We don't have
to fight about it. By itself, it will become apparent to be the truth of all other ways. Well, okay,
and we shouldn't call him that even though the enemies will hate it. Allah subhanaw taala will make
sure that this religion prevails.
		

			So he said number one,
		

			it is clear the enemy is failing. And if I was in Tel Aviv, with all the money and all the power, I
said my army in I bombed from the sky, and I still can't win. I'm assaulted anything. What do I need
to do to extinguish these people?
		

			We've seen the global narrative changing in favor, the human sort of Muslim narrative, the Muslims
have been saying this for 75 years, the Muslim world has always been behind Palestine. But now what
we're seeing is people whether whatever religion, they are on the side of the truth, so we see that
this is a model fight. Number three, we seeing how people are embracing Islam. And we see how this
how people are turning towards Islam turning towards this religion, and that the strength of the man
and the road, that you have the power to topple governments, you and I have the power to topple
corporations, and we should realize that they serve us. They serve us we serve Allah but they serve
		

			us. And if they don't do what is in the interest of society, we will replace them. They can't
control the masses. That's another thing we've learned. But the most important one, I think
Alhamdulillah
		

			as we said, this ummah is in a coma, it's in a paralysis, it's in an ICU.
		

			The OMA is not going to die. We know that from that IV Salam, he made a DUA, er Allah, let never an
enemy destroy this ummah completely and Allah accepted the DUA. And he said, Yeah, Allah I make dua
for this coma is not destroyed by natural disaster, one earthquake, we all gone, I'll accept that do
others FEMA will not aim through one massive natural disaster and he may die yet Allah will not be
divisions and fighting between us nor did not accept that door
		

			will not accept the DUA that is going to happen and it is happening. So this OMA is in a low place.
We are with all not as I say so many times it's not because we lack the numbers. We lack the wealth,
or we lack the expertise. Some of the smartest, brightest, strongest people in the world is in this
OMA is in this community. But there's something missing it's like as I said, we are coming in a
coma. And sometimes we need a jumpstart, you know, you need that shock to wake you up and it says
that it needs a guy to take like 5000 Dead Palestinian children, for us to wake up as Oma.
		

			And Allah says in the Battle of the Trench when the Muslims were completely surrounded and looked
like things were over us in times like that. When Allah takes away all your your sense of security,
your sense of what's a new call, you're only of Allah left to Allah says look at a triangular config
Rasulullah Hasina that in Rasul Allah is a good example for you. Lehmann, Kenyatta. joola, William
will ask Allah will akhira that if you want Allah and the Astra he's a good example. And those who
remember Allah, what Amara minuman Allah says, This is a true believer, when you see the enemy
stacked up against you, when the world has surrounded you, when you have no way to go, you only have
		

			Allah. God, what do you say? Her the word Allah or Rasulullah? Who rasuluh who was either color or
soda Cola or Zulu, versus exactly as Allah had promised? This, Allah told us, This dunya is just a
temporary thing.
		

			But your money, your job, your kids, those are distractions of what is really important. And
sometimes you need that wake up in terms of where are we going? What are we doing what's happening?
That wake up is not nice.
		

			And when we see it we say this is the truth. This is the reality was Adam Illa Illa Imana with us
Lima, y Masada home Illa Eman this Lima. M in this calamity actually, what did you do it increase
them in the Eman and the submission to Allah. All of us will Hamdulillah I hope that this increase
everyone, maybe 1%. In our iman, we did a little bit more. So it took, unfortunately, sadly, the
death of 5000 Palestinian children for our Eman to increase. The sacrifice wasn't just for mercy
Luxa or for land or for our country, it is for the entire Ummah, to wake up and think you know, I
need to do better. I need to be better. This a bigger fight in my day to day life. And that's what
		

			Allah subhanaw taala wants from us that in sha Allah, this episode will debate. People already
becoming tired. Now it's time to change the footpath. And perhaps it is time to talk about other
things.
		

			But these things are reminders for us that I can't just keep going and doing the same thing for the
next 3040 50 years until I die. I'm part of a bigger issue a bigger purpose a bigger challenge my
life has meaning my time on the dunya must count for something. When I leave the dunya I can't come
in, in a certain way I will leave in the same way. But what did I leave behind? What did I fix of
this? Oma? What good did I do? That's the purpose of being a Muslim? That's ultimately what Allah
wants? What can I show to Allah that ft hammer
		

			can only show that I've spent day in day out at the office day in day out accumulating money day in
they are planning my next holiday day in they're just trying to pay the bills? Is that all that I
can offer along with FTM? Or is there something of goodness that I've offered? And that is what this
does. These times these calamities, they take away all the unnecessary things in your life. And so
we ask Allah to grant us to be part of this be a revival, not just a momentary wake up and we go
back into the coma? May this be a genuine revival of the ummah? May this be the generation that we
will tell. And our kids and grandkids will ask, how do you liberate much like we talked about
		

			Salahuddin? How did you do it? They'll talk about this generation, how did you guys do it?
Hamdulillah. Hopefully this is that spark because it's not just a flash and will disappear. But it's
a genuine spark that will change make the change but it requires all of us to be part of it. And at
the very least we make the offer to Allah grant a strength grant of success. May Allah make easy for
the people in Palestine throughout the world. May Allah make Gruchy far too sick, Allah grant those
who are injured Shiva and those who have died May Allah grant them genital FreeDOS I mean, just a
few announcements at home there. We've got guests from overseas, we welcome them to the masjid and
		

			we welcome them to Cape Town. And then there's quite a few members of the congregation they like to
remain anonymous but quite sick. You never know the people that you shake hands with and you smile
with what's happening behind the scenes at home. And sometimes even I you get a message it's I
didn't know someone is going through such difficult difficulty and sickness We ask Allah to grant
them Shiva we grant Allah strangle make easy whatever difficulty everybody has the challenges may
Allah make it easy for you, whatever challenges you're going through family, financial sickness
melograno Make ease and grant us all a bit late tomorrow be better than today. And our best days
		

			letterhead mean I mean, just another few announcements, the BK PG cukup. PG. Right there. Today
