Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu, we will be inshallah having

00:02:58 --> 00:03:01

a funeral prayer straight after the Jummah prayer,

00:03:01 --> 00:03:05

so please do not pray your sunnahs, jazakumullah

00:03:05 --> 00:03:05

khair.

00:03:20 --> 00:03:44

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu I

00:03:44 --> 00:03:49

bear witness that there is no deity worthy

00:03:49 --> 00:08:28

of worship except Allah We

00:08:28 --> 00:08:32

must not forget that battles are not only

00:08:32 --> 00:08:36

ones that are physical, but they are also

00:08:36 --> 00:08:38

sometimes ideological.

00:08:39 --> 00:08:41

And the battle for the Muslim mind and

00:08:41 --> 00:08:45

the Muslim heart is far greater than the

00:08:45 --> 00:08:49

one that is with guns and gunpowder and

00:08:49 --> 00:08:49

bombs and swords.

00:08:51 --> 00:08:54

It is the battle between kufr and iman

00:08:54 --> 00:08:57

that we must never lose.

00:08:57 --> 00:09:02

Allah will not hold the Muslim Ummah accountable

00:09:02 --> 00:09:06

for being defeated as long as that defeat

00:09:06 --> 00:09:08

is not ideological.

00:09:09 --> 00:09:11

Your iman is your greatest asset.

00:09:12 --> 00:09:15

Our iman is our greatest asset and our

00:09:15 --> 00:09:18

greatest responsibility, preserving that iman.

00:09:19 --> 00:09:22

It is not new that the Muslim Ummah

00:09:22 --> 00:09:26

feels or is attacked or invaded or whatever

00:09:26 --> 00:09:27

you want to call it.

00:09:28 --> 00:09:31

Muslim lands have been invaded and they have

00:09:31 --> 00:09:32

been repelled.

00:09:32 --> 00:09:34

We know the history of colonialism.

00:09:35 --> 00:09:36

We know the history of Islam.

00:09:36 --> 00:09:38

We know what happened in Mecca and Medina,

00:09:38 --> 00:09:39

the Prophet and Quraysh.

00:09:40 --> 00:09:42

We know about the Mongol invasions.

00:09:42 --> 00:09:44

There are so many examples of the Muslim

00:09:44 --> 00:09:46

Ummah coming against a threat, sometimes winning, sometimes

00:09:46 --> 00:09:47

losing.

00:09:47 --> 00:09:50

Allah says in the Quran, وَتِلْكَ الْأَيَامُ نُدَاوِرُهَا

00:09:50 --> 00:09:52

بَيْنَ النَّاسِ After Uhud, when the Muslims were

00:09:52 --> 00:09:55

defeated, the Sahab and the Prophet ﷺ and

00:09:55 --> 00:09:58

he lost his beloved uncle, Allah SWT told

00:09:58 --> 00:10:03

us, وَتِلْكَ الْأَيَامُ نُدَاوِرُهَا بَيْنَ النَّاسِ Some days

00:10:03 --> 00:10:07

you win, some days you lose.

00:10:08 --> 00:10:10

That is the sunn of Allah, a universal

00:10:10 --> 00:10:11

law.

00:10:12 --> 00:10:14

This is not something new and we should

00:10:14 --> 00:10:15

accept that and understand that.

00:10:15 --> 00:10:19

But the one fight, if you will, that

00:10:19 --> 00:10:20

you're never allowed to lose is the one

00:10:20 --> 00:10:23

based on aqidah, belief, iman.

00:10:24 --> 00:10:25

That's the one that you have to protect.

00:10:25 --> 00:10:29

We cannot have, as Muslims, generations after us

00:10:29 --> 00:10:33

leaving the fold of Islam, losing their identity,

00:10:33 --> 00:10:36

not knowing what Islam is, not holding fast

00:10:36 --> 00:10:36

to their deen.

00:10:37 --> 00:10:39

This is the danger that we have to

00:10:39 --> 00:10:40

keep our eyes on.

00:10:41 --> 00:10:46

Wallahi, the mother and the young man and

00:10:46 --> 00:10:48

the young boy that is orphaned or widowed

00:10:48 --> 00:10:52

or killed, in the midst when bombs are

00:10:52 --> 00:10:55

being rained on them, if they die saying,

00:10:56 --> 00:10:58

لا إله إلا الله if they are holding

00:10:58 --> 00:11:01

fast to their deen, they are in a

00:11:01 --> 00:11:03

better state than the one who is eating

00:11:03 --> 00:11:06

and drinking and safe but does not know

00:11:06 --> 00:11:07

Tawheed.

00:11:07 --> 00:11:10

Is Muslim by name but does not practice

00:11:10 --> 00:11:13

their faith, does not pray, does not uphold

00:11:13 --> 00:11:15

the aspects of Islam that we are meant

00:11:15 --> 00:11:15

to uphold.

00:11:17 --> 00:11:20

This is a far greater defeat and a

00:11:20 --> 00:11:22

far greater concern.

00:11:23 --> 00:11:26

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala mentions, يُرِيدُونَ لَيُدْفِعُوا

00:11:26 --> 00:11:30

نُورَ اللَّهِ بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَيَأْبَ اللَّهُ إِلَّا أَن يُتِمَّ

00:11:30 --> 00:11:34

نُورَهُ وَلَوْ كَرِهَا الْكَافِرُونَ They want to extinguish

00:11:34 --> 00:11:37

the light of Allah with their mouths.

00:11:37 --> 00:11:39

They speak out against our faith.

00:11:40 --> 00:11:41

They call it backwards.

00:11:42 --> 00:11:45

They continuously try and create an image of

00:11:45 --> 00:11:46

Islam that isn't true.

00:11:47 --> 00:11:48

It isn't the first time.

00:11:49 --> 00:11:51

Abu Jahl and Abu Lahab did it and

00:11:51 --> 00:11:52

it's being done today.

00:11:53 --> 00:11:56

But it did not affect the Sahaba because

00:11:56 --> 00:11:58

they were holding fast to their religion.

00:11:59 --> 00:12:00

They were happy with their deen.

00:12:00 --> 00:12:04

They were happy to accept whatever comes from

00:12:04 --> 00:12:05

the Prophet and from Allah.

00:12:05 --> 00:12:08

Can we say the same to us and

00:12:08 --> 00:12:09

about us?

00:12:12 --> 00:12:15

Allah mentions that those that do not believe,

00:12:15 --> 00:12:17

do not accept the message of the Prophets,

00:12:17 --> 00:12:19

that reject the truth, they want everybody to

00:12:19 --> 00:12:20

be like them.

00:12:20 --> 00:12:24

وَادُّوا لَوْ تَكْفُرُونَ كَمَا كَفَرُوا فَتَكُونُونَ سَوَّاءً They

00:12:24 --> 00:12:25

wish that you would disbelieve like they have

00:12:25 --> 00:12:27

disbelieved and you would all be the same.

00:12:28 --> 00:12:31

So, the challenge that we have is how

00:12:31 --> 00:12:33

do we protect our deen?

00:12:33 --> 00:12:36

How do we ensure that our deen is

00:12:36 --> 00:12:36

protected?

00:12:37 --> 00:12:39

How do we ensure that our masajid stay

00:12:39 --> 00:12:39

full?

00:12:40 --> 00:12:42

How do we ensure that our sisters continue

00:12:42 --> 00:12:43

wearing the hijab?

00:12:43 --> 00:12:45

How do we ensure that we continue to

00:12:45 --> 00:12:46

call to Islam?

00:12:46 --> 00:12:49

How do we ensure that even as we

00:12:49 --> 00:12:52

go far away from our original lands and

00:12:52 --> 00:12:53

go to new, as we are here now,

00:12:54 --> 00:12:55

in the UK or in America or in

00:12:55 --> 00:12:57

Australia, wherever we are, as we continue to

00:12:57 --> 00:13:00

live there, that we are spreading the light,

00:13:00 --> 00:13:02

the nur of Allah, and people are coming

00:13:02 --> 00:13:05

into Islam, and tawheed is being established, not

00:13:05 --> 00:13:07

the other way around, where we are eroding

00:13:07 --> 00:13:09

our values, losing our deen.

00:13:10 --> 00:13:12

This is the danger, my brothers and sisters.

00:13:12 --> 00:13:14

And what we have to ask ourselves, how

00:13:14 --> 00:13:17

can we ensure that we continue holding on

00:13:17 --> 00:13:18

to our deen?

00:13:19 --> 00:13:22

Not just ourselves, but our children, and their

00:13:22 --> 00:13:24

children, and their children.

00:13:24 --> 00:13:26

That is the priority, and that's what we

00:13:26 --> 00:13:27

have to look at.

00:13:27 --> 00:13:30

Often, the crisis that the Muslims are in,

00:13:30 --> 00:13:32

it takes over our minds and our hearts,

00:13:32 --> 00:13:34

and we are so focused on the political,

00:13:34 --> 00:13:36

we are so focused on what's happening on

00:13:36 --> 00:13:40

a mass scale, that if we forget to

00:13:40 --> 00:13:43

look into our homes, is the salah being

00:13:43 --> 00:13:44

established in our homes?

00:13:45 --> 00:13:47

With everything that was happening with Fir'aun

00:13:47 --> 00:13:49

and Musa, Allah tells them, and tells Musa

00:13:49 --> 00:13:53

alayhi salam, وَاجْعَلُوا بُيُوتَكُمْ قِبْلَةً وَيَقِيمُوا صَلَاةً Ensure

00:13:53 --> 00:13:55

that your homes become a place of prayer,

00:13:55 --> 00:13:57

and establish the salah.

00:13:57 --> 00:13:59

When the Prophet ﷺ was in Mecca, the

00:13:59 --> 00:14:02

instruction to the Sahaba through oppression was establish

00:14:02 --> 00:14:03

the salah.

00:14:03 --> 00:14:06

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala promises us, وَلَا

00:14:06 --> 00:14:09

تَهِنُوا وَلَا تَعْزَلُوا وَأَنتُمُ الْأَعْلَوْنَ إِن كُنتُم مُؤْمِنِينَ

00:14:09 --> 00:14:13

Do not feel despair, because of your current

00:14:13 --> 00:14:13

circumstances.

00:14:14 --> 00:14:17

Because Allah promises, وَأَنتُمُ الْأَعْلَوْنَ You will be

00:14:17 --> 00:14:17

victorious.

00:14:18 --> 00:14:19

But when?

00:14:19 --> 00:14:22

إِن كُنتُم مُؤْمِنِينَ If you are truly believers,

00:14:22 --> 00:14:24

مُؤْمِنِينَ Iman is not something you just proclaim.

00:14:26 --> 00:14:28

It has actions that come with it.

00:14:28 --> 00:14:33

أَعْمَالَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ How is our

00:14:33 --> 00:14:34

salah as a community?

00:14:34 --> 00:14:36

How is our charity as a community?

00:14:37 --> 00:14:38

How is our love for each other as

00:14:38 --> 00:14:39

a community?

00:14:39 --> 00:14:41

How strong is Tawheed in our hearts?

00:14:41 --> 00:14:43

How much do we stay away from sin?

00:14:43 --> 00:14:46

These things are so important to the survival

00:14:46 --> 00:14:48

of the Muslim Ummah.

00:14:49 --> 00:14:52

This is far greater, far more important.

00:14:54 --> 00:14:56

And an Ummah does not go away because

00:14:56 --> 00:14:57

they have been killed.

00:14:57 --> 00:14:59

Even if millions are killed, as long as

00:14:59 --> 00:15:02

they are establishing لا إله إلا الله that

00:15:02 --> 00:15:02

Ummah survives.

00:15:03 --> 00:15:05

In fact, as long as on this earth

00:15:05 --> 00:15:06

there are people that are saying لا إله

00:15:06 --> 00:15:08

إلا الله Qiyamah will not happen.

00:15:09 --> 00:15:10

That's the importance.

00:15:10 --> 00:15:13

That's why it's so important that we ensure

00:15:13 --> 00:15:15

and spread the message in our homes and

00:15:15 --> 00:15:16

outside of our homes.

00:15:17 --> 00:15:18

It is nothing new.

00:15:18 --> 00:15:21

I earlier gave a brief example of the

00:15:21 --> 00:15:23

invasion of the Mongols to the Muslim lands.

00:15:24 --> 00:15:25

Do you know how many they killed?

00:15:25 --> 00:15:26

Millions.

00:15:27 --> 00:15:30

And they did not have bombs like these

00:15:30 --> 00:15:31

Eva people have today.

00:15:32 --> 00:15:33

There were not raining bombs on them.

00:15:34 --> 00:15:36

Millions were killed by the Mongols by sword.

00:15:37 --> 00:15:39

Family by family, person by person, individual by

00:15:39 --> 00:15:40

individual.

00:15:40 --> 00:15:43

Until the Euphrates became red with blood.

00:15:44 --> 00:15:45

Then they dumped all of the literature of

00:15:45 --> 00:15:48

the Muslim Ummah in the Euphrates until historians

00:15:48 --> 00:15:50

say it became black with ink.

00:15:51 --> 00:15:52

The Muslim Ummah survived.

00:15:52 --> 00:15:55

The Muslim Ummah survived because of its Ulama,

00:15:55 --> 00:15:57

because of the Dawah, because of Tawheed.

00:15:57 --> 00:16:00

To the point where the grandsons of Genghis

00:16:00 --> 00:16:02

Khan, they became Muslim.

00:16:03 --> 00:16:05

And the Mongols themselves started being part of

00:16:05 --> 00:16:06

the Nur I mentioned earlier.

00:16:07 --> 00:16:08

That is the power of Dawah.

00:16:09 --> 00:16:10

That is the power of Islam.

00:16:10 --> 00:16:12

That is the power of practicing Islam in

00:16:12 --> 00:16:13

your home.

00:16:13 --> 00:16:15

That is how you win.

00:16:16 --> 00:16:17

That is the victory.

00:16:18 --> 00:16:20

That is the victory Allah talks about.

00:16:20 --> 00:16:23

When Allah says, إِن تَنْصُرُوا اللَّهَ يَنْصُرُكُمْ When

00:16:23 --> 00:16:26

you stand up for what Allah has told

00:16:26 --> 00:16:27

you to stand up for.

00:16:27 --> 00:16:30

When you give Nasr to Allah's laws and

00:16:30 --> 00:16:33

the values Allah has set and the religion

00:16:33 --> 00:16:34

Allah has given us.

00:16:34 --> 00:16:36

Allah will shower us with His mercy and

00:16:36 --> 00:16:37

give us victory.

00:16:37 --> 00:16:40

That's why it's important to look inward.

00:16:40 --> 00:16:42

That's why it's important that as much as

00:16:42 --> 00:16:44

we are concerned about what's happening in the

00:16:44 --> 00:16:46

world from a mass scale, from a political

00:16:46 --> 00:16:46

perspective.

00:16:47 --> 00:16:49

And we feel, we have to feel for

00:16:49 --> 00:16:50

our brothers and sisters.

00:16:51 --> 00:16:53

Look at your own homes.

00:16:53 --> 00:16:54

Look at your own self.

00:16:55 --> 00:16:56

Look at your front yard.

00:16:56 --> 00:16:59

Look at yourself and how involved are you

00:16:59 --> 00:17:02

in ensuring the revival of this Ummah from

00:17:02 --> 00:17:04

a deen perspective.

00:17:05 --> 00:17:08

We are now in unprecedented times as it

00:17:08 --> 00:17:10

comes to the ignorance of the Ummah.

00:17:11 --> 00:17:13

To the point where the institutions that are

00:17:13 --> 00:17:16

meant to educate the Ummah educate them on

00:17:16 --> 00:17:18

the love of the Qur'an.

00:17:18 --> 00:17:21

We become happy when we have a Hafidh

00:17:21 --> 00:17:24

that have memorized the Qur'an 114 chapters.

00:17:25 --> 00:17:27

We are happy and we have banquets and

00:17:27 --> 00:17:27

we celebrate.

00:17:28 --> 00:17:30

But that same Hafidh does not understand a

00:17:30 --> 00:17:32

word of the Qur'an because we have

00:17:32 --> 00:17:35

now completely abandoned the learning of the Qur

00:17:35 --> 00:17:35

'an.

00:17:35 --> 00:17:37

Forget the Arabic language.

00:17:38 --> 00:17:40

There is a disconnect between all of us

00:17:40 --> 00:17:40

and the Book of Allah.

00:17:41 --> 00:17:43

You come to Jum'ah, you come to

00:17:43 --> 00:17:43

Salat.

00:17:43 --> 00:17:44

The Imam is reciting.

00:17:44 --> 00:17:46

You do not understand a word of what

00:17:46 --> 00:17:47

the Imam is saying.

00:17:48 --> 00:17:50

How are we meant to revive the Ummah

00:17:50 --> 00:17:53

when we have absolutely no care for the

00:17:53 --> 00:17:54

deen, for Islam?

00:17:55 --> 00:17:56

It's all lip service.

00:17:57 --> 00:17:58

Lip service.

00:17:59 --> 00:18:00

How much Ibad are we doing?

00:18:01 --> 00:18:02

How much Salat are we doing?

00:18:02 --> 00:18:04

How much are we educating our children about

00:18:04 --> 00:18:04

their deen?

00:18:04 --> 00:18:05

How much history do we know?

00:18:07 --> 00:18:08

This is what revives the Ummah.

00:18:09 --> 00:18:10

Aqeedah, belief.

00:18:10 --> 00:18:12

The Sahaba were a few in number but

00:18:12 --> 00:18:14

they had character.

00:18:15 --> 00:18:15

They had resilience.

00:18:16 --> 00:18:16

They had sabr.

00:18:17 --> 00:18:19

All of that came from the deen.

00:18:20 --> 00:18:21

This is why it's important, my brothers and

00:18:21 --> 00:18:25

sisters, that if we want and we all

00:18:25 --> 00:18:31

wanted to ensure future generations uphold la ilaha

00:18:31 --> 00:18:35

illallah, then we must change the way we

00:18:35 --> 00:18:36

think.

00:18:36 --> 00:18:39

We must change what we prioritize.

00:18:40 --> 00:18:42

We must ensure that the generation that are

00:18:42 --> 00:18:45

coming and that we are raising in our

00:18:45 --> 00:18:47

homes are those that prioritize their deen over

00:18:47 --> 00:18:48

everything else.

00:18:49 --> 00:18:51

That prioritize their Ibad over everything else.

00:18:52 --> 00:18:54

This is how the Muslim Ummah wins.

00:18:54 --> 00:18:56

By going back to its roots.

00:18:56 --> 00:18:58

By going back to its deen.

00:18:59 --> 00:19:03

And that is the more important frontier and

00:19:03 --> 00:19:04

battle that we are in.

00:19:04 --> 00:19:05

Ideological.

00:19:05 --> 00:19:06

Building the Iman.

00:19:07 --> 00:19:10

To be able to stand up against all

00:19:10 --> 00:19:12

sorts of dhulmat, darknesses.

00:19:13 --> 00:19:16

Whether those darknesses are atheism or those darknesses

00:19:16 --> 00:19:17

are other types of kufr.

00:19:17 --> 00:19:19

Or those darknesses are polytheism.

00:19:19 --> 00:19:21

Or any number of darknesses.

00:19:22 --> 00:19:24

من الظلمات إلى النور May Allah subhanahu wa

00:19:24 --> 00:19:26

ta'ala ignite that light in our hearts.

00:19:27 --> 00:19:28

May Allah make us among those that carry

00:19:28 --> 00:19:31

it and generations after they continue to carry

00:19:31 --> 00:19:31

it.

00:19:32 --> 00:19:33

May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala aid us

00:19:33 --> 00:19:35

in protecting this deen for our homes and

00:19:35 --> 00:19:38

our families and preserving it and also spreading

00:19:38 --> 00:19:39

it to those that do not have it

00:19:39 --> 00:19:40

as it is our mission.

00:19:40 --> 00:19:43

آمين أقول قولي هذا وأستغفره لي ولكم ورسالتي

00:19:43 --> 00:20:05

من كل ذنب فاستغفروه إنه الغفور الرحيم الحمد

00:20:05 --> 00:20:07

لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله My beloved

00:20:07 --> 00:20:08

brothers and sisters.

00:20:10 --> 00:20:12

Like I mentioned in the beginning of the

00:20:12 --> 00:20:12

khutbah.

00:20:13 --> 00:20:15

Our deen is our greatest asset.

00:20:16 --> 00:20:18

It is that which we inherited from our

00:20:18 --> 00:20:21

forefathers and that which our children will inherit

00:20:21 --> 00:20:21

from us.

00:20:22 --> 00:20:24

It is that which we have inherited from

00:20:24 --> 00:20:24

the prophets.

00:20:24 --> 00:20:26

It is that which will keep us upright.

00:20:27 --> 00:20:28

It is that which will protect us in

00:20:28 --> 00:20:28

this dunya.

00:20:29 --> 00:20:30

It is that which will protect us in

00:20:30 --> 00:20:31

the hereafter.

00:20:31 --> 00:20:31

It is our deen.

00:20:33 --> 00:20:35

So if that is our highest priority and

00:20:35 --> 00:20:37

it is through that and by the deen

00:20:37 --> 00:20:39

of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala that you

00:20:39 --> 00:20:40

will gain victory in this world and the

00:20:40 --> 00:20:41

next world.

00:20:41 --> 00:20:43

Let us take it seriously.

00:20:44 --> 00:20:45

And when I say let us take it

00:20:45 --> 00:20:46

seriously I want you to keep a number

00:20:46 --> 00:20:46

of things in mind.

00:20:47 --> 00:20:49

Let us take the learning of the deen

00:20:49 --> 00:20:49

seriously.

00:20:50 --> 00:20:51

I've said this many times and many other

00:20:51 --> 00:20:52

scholars have said this.

00:20:52 --> 00:20:54

But please apply this.

00:20:54 --> 00:20:56

Take the learning of the deen seriously.

00:20:57 --> 00:20:59

Because if you do not take it seriously

00:20:59 --> 00:21:01

your children will not take it seriously.

00:21:01 --> 00:21:04

And if you don't know your deen you

00:21:04 --> 00:21:06

already stopped yourself from the ability to spread

00:21:06 --> 00:21:07

it.

00:21:07 --> 00:21:08

You can't spread.

00:21:08 --> 00:21:09

You can't propagate.

00:21:10 --> 00:21:11

You can't teach that which you do not

00:21:11 --> 00:21:11

know.

00:21:12 --> 00:21:16

Nor are you able to continue raising generations

00:21:16 --> 00:21:17

to act upon it.

00:21:17 --> 00:21:18

So learn your deen.

00:21:18 --> 00:21:21

There are plenty of programs and plenty of

00:21:21 --> 00:21:24

opportunities available many in this very masjid.

00:21:24 --> 00:21:26

That's the first message to all of you.

00:21:27 --> 00:21:30

Take learning your deen seriously as adults, as

00:21:30 --> 00:21:32

mothers and fathers and grandfathers and also the

00:21:32 --> 00:21:33

learning of the deen of your children.

00:21:34 --> 00:21:37

Secondly, take the practice of the deen seriously

00:21:37 --> 00:21:38

as well.

00:21:38 --> 00:21:40

There's no point learning something that you do

00:21:40 --> 00:21:40

not practice.

00:21:41 --> 00:21:42

It is all about our amal.

00:21:42 --> 00:21:45

Allah says in the Quran وَأَن لَيْسِ الْإِنسَانِ

00:21:45 --> 00:21:46

إِلَّا مَا سَعَى It is not about what

00:21:46 --> 00:21:47

you know.

00:21:47 --> 00:21:48

It's about what you do.

00:21:49 --> 00:21:51

Take the practice of your deen seriously.

00:21:51 --> 00:21:53

Read more adhkar on a daily basis.

00:21:54 --> 00:21:55

Pray more.

00:21:56 --> 00:21:58

Build your iman and repent from the many

00:21:58 --> 00:22:00

sins that you are engaged in.

00:22:00 --> 00:22:01

Build your iman up.

00:22:02 --> 00:22:04

It is through strengthening your iman you are

00:22:04 --> 00:22:06

able to live by this deen and when

00:22:06 --> 00:22:08

all of our imans grow higher more barakah

00:22:08 --> 00:22:10

comes from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

00:22:10 --> 00:22:12

We become a better ummah as a result

00:22:12 --> 00:22:12

of it.

00:22:12 --> 00:22:15

So take practicing your deen seriously.

00:22:16 --> 00:22:19

And something, add one, two things this week

00:22:19 --> 00:22:21

whether it's reading a portion of the Quran

00:22:21 --> 00:22:24

with tadabbur and understanding whether it's maybe increasing

00:22:24 --> 00:22:25

the nafl prayers that you do whether it's

00:22:25 --> 00:22:27

coming to the masjid once or twice more

00:22:27 --> 00:22:29

than you usually do something practical from this

00:22:29 --> 00:22:30

Jum'ah, make a decision.

00:22:31 --> 00:22:32

Whether it's sending salawat upon the Prophet on

00:22:32 --> 00:22:34

a more regular basis it doesn't matter whether

00:22:34 --> 00:22:35

it's my brothers and sisters we have to

00:22:35 --> 00:22:36

continue improving.

00:22:36 --> 00:22:38

Practice, practice, practice.

00:22:38 --> 00:22:39

Amal, amal, amal.

00:22:39 --> 00:22:41

We have to be an ummah that practices

00:22:41 --> 00:22:42

its deen.

00:22:42 --> 00:22:46

Thirdly, my brothers and sisters is that we

00:22:46 --> 00:22:48

strive to get closer as an ummah, as

00:22:48 --> 00:22:49

a community.

00:22:49 --> 00:22:51

There's too many things that are dividing us.

00:22:51 --> 00:22:53

There's way too many things that are dividing

00:22:53 --> 00:22:53

us.

00:22:53 --> 00:22:55

I'm not going to delve into details but

00:22:55 --> 00:22:58

as an ummah we are required to get

00:22:58 --> 00:23:00

closer to each other and to build that

00:23:00 --> 00:23:03

care and that love between us because Allah

00:23:03 --> 00:23:05

subhanahu wa ta'ala showers His rahmah and

00:23:05 --> 00:23:07

mercy those that love each other for the

00:23:07 --> 00:23:08

sake of Allah may Allah make us among

00:23:08 --> 00:23:08

those.

00:23:09 --> 00:23:12

And finally, continue to be aware of the

00:23:12 --> 00:23:15

different ways that we are being targeted as

00:23:15 --> 00:23:16

an ummah.

00:23:16 --> 00:23:18

It is not only that you look at

00:23:18 --> 00:23:20

it from the political and you look at

00:23:20 --> 00:23:22

the far away lands where Muslims are being

00:23:22 --> 00:23:24

oppressed may Allah alleviate the oppression and may

00:23:24 --> 00:23:25

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala deal with the

00:23:25 --> 00:23:28

oppressors but also my brothers and sisters in

00:23:28 --> 00:23:32

our front yard right outside of our homes

00:23:32 --> 00:23:37

the schools what's happening there the way we

00:23:37 --> 00:23:39

are learning what our children are learning what's

00:23:39 --> 00:23:43

happening their friends everything you have to be

00:23:43 --> 00:23:46

aware you have to be aware because if

00:23:46 --> 00:23:49

one person deviates it should harm all of

00:23:49 --> 00:23:52

us and if one person comes back to

00:23:52 --> 00:23:53

the straight path it should make all of

00:23:53 --> 00:23:55

us joyous and happy because in the end

00:23:55 --> 00:23:56

of the day we are one body and

00:23:56 --> 00:23:58

we are one ummah may Allah subhanahu wa

00:23:58 --> 00:24:00

ta'ala aid us and protect us may

00:24:00 --> 00:24:33
