So tomorrow
is the first day of the Islamic year,
Islamic
history calendar.
So the prophet
migrated from Mecca to Medina
1436
years ago.
There are a lot of lessons we can
learn
the to have a vision in life, to
have a purpose and a goal in life,
and you have to have hope, and you
put your trust in the law subhanahu wa'ala.
And number 3, sacrifices
have to be made for you to achieve
success.
We know that the prophet
and the Sahar you know the seerah,
and we started them when we're young, all
these stories. We know that the prophet was
persecuted in Mecca and the Sahar for 13
years.
Some of them were wounded. Some of them
were even killed, and so on and so
forth. Some of them were besieged.
So much so for 3 years that some
of them had to eat grass and leaves
from the trees.
It was that bad.
And the prophet
had a vision.
He knew that Allah would
give victory to this religion,
and the truth would prevail.
Even when Jibreel,
a
this religion, this matter of our faith will
reach whatever the day and the 9th reach,
which means that Islam will go to every
corner in the world.
Islam is the most diverse religion in the
world. You come to our Masjid here, you
see people from everywhere. From Asia to Europe
to Africa, from everywhere.
You can't see this anywhere. You go so
this is why a lot of people when
they come to the nation are surprised. What
is this? This is the the United Nations.
We have people from everywhere.
Many different languages, many different cultures. You see
in the Ramadan, we have, like, comedians to
dinner. People bring dishes from different places.
So this is the diversity and the universality
of Islam.
So this is the diversity and the universality
of Islam. So this is what the road
says meant, that Islam will go everywhere and
it will enter every house.
There is the at least in Abu Dhoom
Nabeel,
whether it will bring a lot honor to
those who believe in it or disgrace to
those who reject it in in the ad.
You know that if you have a mission,
if you are successful in life,
then you'll get attacks from everywhere because nobody
cares about losers anyway. Nobody will attack people
who are failing.
And this is something we learned back in
the in the day in the village many
years back, when we were young. We used
to go to the farm,
and I realized that the only trees that
were attacking with, stones, the only trees that
were throwing stones at
This is because Islam was successful. Islam is
the fastest growing religion in the world. So
some people will take care of the opportunity
to attack Islam.
For a reason or for no reason, because
Islam for them, you know, is something you
have to worry about.
It brings about happiness. It brings about peace
in your life. It gives you success.
Okay?
And I also imagine
I think about this, when some of the
brothers, they come to me,
some of the Muslim brothers, and I hear
this a lot,
that before Islam,
of course, they lived a wild life
drinking and drugs and dating and all these
things, terrible things.
Their parents have no problem with them. But
as soon as they become Muslim
and they start to live a clean life,
no drinking, no women, no drugs, nothing,
now their parents have a problem with them
because now they're Muslim.
So the prophet in this hadith, which they
say is weak,
that they will come when common sense will
become nonsense,
and nonsense will be perceived as common sense.
Although my name is weak, but I think
this is very true.
Common sense is not very common these days.
So we ask
to give us success. So this is the
first point that you have to have a
vision in life, that you have to have
a goal you're trying to achieve. You don't
just live like this with no goal, with
no need in life. And number 2,
you have to argue yourself with hope. Hope
is the greatest thing that you can have
in this life. Without hope, you cannot go
anywhere.
And remember,
as Allah says,
and this one learn from the Quran, that
Allah
only helps
those who help themselves.
But if you're not willing to help yourself,
no one will be able to help you.
So this is what happened, Hari, and it's
in the story that I
So he's making dua. He is saying, yeah,
well, I have no children.
I'm very old now, but I have no
children. Well, I'm talking to dua and all
of you shapin.
You never disappointed me before whenever I made
dua to you. And I'm sure that this
time you will never disappoint me because you
never did it before.
So may you imagine you are making dua
to Allah or Satan, I have hope in
you. I know that you will never let
me down. I know that you will never
disappoint me because you never did it before.
They didn't know what to do. They said,
yeah, Musa, they're about to catch up with
us and destroy us. So Musa Azzat said
one thing. No. Allah is with me, and
he would guide us for what is right.
Allah is right there, and he's taking care
of us. He has the hope
in the in the hijra, the prophet's of
migration from Mecca to Medina
when they were in the cave.
And Abu Bakr Bilal was afraid
that they're gonna see them in the cave
and attack them.
So the prophet said, don't even worry because
Allah is with us. What
do you think of 2 people above
So also, Halil of Adam is always there.
So this is why the Halilah
say
So they say, Allah is with you.
About the seed of all the persecution and
all the hardship of the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam and the Sahaba happened to through
in Mecca.
Then, all of a sudden, you see everything
working is working together
to bring,
you know, ease to the situation. All of
a sudden, the prophet
was approaching different people to take shahad and
come to the faith and maybe,
give them protection from the people of Mecca.
Nobody accepted
by non Muslims and also even insects and
animals who are eating the ziel, authentic ziel.
You read, for example,
in the case of a non Muslim who
supported the cause of the prophet
for protection because some of the, the elite,
the the important people in Mecca. So the
the other people, those who are innocent,
do not attack him. So people let him
down. Only 1 person, a Muslim Ali, he
was a at a time. So he went
to a and he said, I gave protection
to Mohammed. He's coming back.
Please, nobody
lays a finger on him. I'm taking care
of him. He was a catheter at his
time. And this is why
because of Beth
the prophet said,
if
spoke to me about these people,
just to honor him for what he did
to me in Mecca.
Then you look at the story of someone,
for example, what happened, love the blanket.
He was a nationalist of Gaif,
and he lived away for the prophet from
Mecca to Medina
through ways that the people of Mecca didn't
know. And he was not Muslim, but the
prophet
trusted him because he was a expert in
his field, guiding people from Mecca to Medina.
Then you look you look at someone like
Suwad, a man who was not Muslim.
In the morning, he was after the throne
saw them to give the 100 camels.
If he caught him, alive or dead, as
they say. But at the end of the
day, when he saw the miracle of what
happened to his horse, you know the story,
And at the end of the day, he
went back. And every time he went, he
met someone from Mecca. He was after the
prophet, he told him to go back. He's
not this way. He went somewhere else. And
he was not listening on the side.
So all these stories, even
you read in the story about the, the
spider web that was built around the entrance
of the cave is mentioned in Musa
If someone entered through the entrance of the
gate, the spider web would have been destroyed.
And they left only because of the spider
web,
powerless,
weak. But Allah
gave protection to the prophet
through this.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
gave protection to the prophet through this. Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala gave protection and he guide
us to the Sahaba to leave Mecca and
to go to Madinah because they had a
god, a cause
and they had a vision. The last point
I want to cover and we said at
the beginning, if you want to succeed at
something,
sacrifices have to be made. If you want
to succeed as a student, if you want
to succeed as a businessman, if you want
to succeed as an agent, you have to
make sacrifices.
They're attacking me, they're giving me a hard
time. You know what? I'm gonna hit their
pockets hard. I'm gonna take all that money.
No. He left the money back and he
left to
give back the trust.
They fought with her family because they said,
okay. You wanna leave?
Okay. Be my guest, but don't take our
door
with you.
They are talking to Abu Salah and their
son-in-law.
You are not allowed to take our door
with you and our grandson with you, and
they pulled the hands of Salaam,
their grandson, until they broke his shoulder.
So for a whole year, she was sitting
in the street and she was crying.
Then a non Muslim man from her family
came and said,
this is ham. This is wrong. Why are
you doing this to the lady? Let her
go with her son and let her go
to her husband in Malina.
And he went.
And Usman in the Taha, he was not
a Muslim. He
said,
He said, but this is not right. You
can't travel in the desert 300 miles in
the desert all by yourself. He was scattered
at the time, then listened. So he jared
with her as an escort to deliver her
to her husband, Imadim.
And she said,
I've never met an honorable man in my
life, Muhammad,
and he was not a Muslim, and he
gave him a prediction.
And with her or his,
time or her time.
The person is someone for whose time and
hand people are safe.
And the true mohal, the one who makes
Israel on immigration,
is someone who avoids
and shuns and stays away from all the
things that Allah has made prohibited.
So
the last thing I wanna say regarding the
sacrifice
is if you look at the story of,
Sohay Baroomi of the Lord. When he arrived
in Mecca,
he was not a rich man.
He worked hard. He had a business, and
he became rich. So when he was making
Israel from Mecca to Medina,
so the people of Mecca is following him,
and they said he came to us for
a book. He came with
Leave it behind. So I said, okay. I'm
gonna make a deal with you. You let
me go, and I will give you all
my money. I remember this, and this has
something to do with the hadith that just
sided, and Muhamazim
and Hazalullah.
Some of us,
some of the brothers would come to me
and ask, well, I'm working in this business
or that business or that business. And I
say, but this is terrible. It's a terrible
job. It's a hamjah.
It's a hamjah.
But they say, oh, brother,
how can I feed my kids?
Some in the media will say, yeah, he
wasn't Muslim. And and just take it as
an excuse
to attack Islam Muslims.
Allah does this in the Quran that taking
innocent
lives is not acceptable in Islam.
And taking a human an innocent life,
And saving saving one human life,
whether it's a Palestinian life, Syrian or Iraqi
or Pakistani life or Canadian life, which is
like saving all humanity.
This is what Islam teaches. So we condemn
bloodshed and we condemn injustice and we condemn
the killing of innocent people. Allah subhanahu wa'ala.
Stand up for justice as witnesses to Allah
subhanahu wa'ala. So this is what Islam teaches,
and this is why I, I will need
the
