Mustafa Khattab – Little Tyrants

And the imam was stressed out.

All the fighting was going on in Egypt,

in Libya, in Tunisia, in Syria. Everything was

going on. And the imam, one night, he

said, you know what? I can't lead salah

today.

I said, why?

Look who is praying behind you. This brother

so and so is from Behat, this brother

is from Yemen,

this brother is from Iraq, this brother is

from Palestine,

this brother is from Syria,

And this is the topic for today.

What do we want

from our rulers

back home?

How can they run Muslim countries according to

Islam? Because this is what we want from

them. So I'm not gonna talk politics today.

This is not my interest. This is not

my thing. I'm not into politics. I hate

it. But I'm gonna fly a flight from

an Islamic perspective, from a sharia perspective.

Many years

back, the scholars of Masa, they said they

found a strand of evidence

that there are some planets in the Milky

Way that aren't livable.

Why? Because they found

some evidence of frozen

blood on some planets

and they have been frozen for 1000000 or

1000000 of years. For them, this is enough

evidence that there's life on these planets.

And, also, we found some things that look

like amoeba if you studied,

biology,

very tiny

one cell beans,

amoeba. Okay?

Very tiny. And for them, there was enough

evidence that was light on these planets.

200,000

deaths in Syria,

as we speak,

and thousands of dead people in Egypt, in

Libya, and other places. And this is not

enough evidence

that the tyrants back home have committed

war crimes and killed people.

So

so Korazul

and Amimah is enough evidence that there's life,

but 100 of 1000 of evil is not

enough evidence that there's death.

I don't know if I lost my mind

or we live in a crazy world. This

is how I look at things.

So why are the tyrants back home, the

rulers?

Why are they hated? Why do people hate

them? Because they don't rule and they don't

judge according to Islam. As simple as that,

I'm gonna give you 4 criteria

and 4 reasons

why

these pirates, the ones we had and the

ones we still have, are hated by the

people.

And

this is the reason why most of us,

not all of us, are here in this

country.

We came from this country because we missed

something back home and we came to this

country.

Freedom, democracy,

justice, you name it. This is why you

know, I start here. I don't know about

you.

I'm talking about myself. Okay?

So number 1,

justice.

Wallahi, if there is justice,

everybody will be happy. And the will be

the countries will run smoothly.

Every time there is no justice, there is

violence and there is hatred.

This is rule number 1. No justice, there

is violence and there is hatred and killing.

Because there's no justice in this gunyah.

Of Muhammad,

the son of Amir bin Aas, when he

had a horse competition, a horse race with

a cothic Egyptian and a Christian man, they

have a horse race.

And

the horse of the Egyptian, the cothic, the

Christian

beat the horse

of

Muhammad and

This is what he thought that 1500 years

ago.

Our countries, there is no justice. The killers,

they run away. They go everywhere they want.

They take all their sources of their countries

and nobody

knows what is going on.

Run the country and rule by mutual consultation

what is called shur. And the prophet

was asking the sahaba all the time

digging the trench.

He was making a shurah with his wife,

What he did, he selected 6 Sahaba,

Abdul Umar ibn A'ouf, Afmab ibn A'ali, Ali,

Abi Zarib, and

another faith. And he told people, you have

6 candidates now

to succeed me as a leader.

So Abu Muhammad ibn A'uls said, I want

to be in the 6th.

Okay. Five people were gone for Jilafat, but

I will take care of the elections.

Ibn Khadim said, Raimaullah,

that Abu Muhammad ibn A'uls went from a

house to another, and he asked men and

women to which one of them they bought

it for. And eventually, they chose Uthman ibn

Affair

So this was the Mashurah of the Sahawah.

Of the people supporting the constitution

or 99%

choosing the president. This is nonsense.

Okay.

All these jokes we have at home.

If today,

if we run a survey, online survey, or

we have a election or say a friend

or

and whatever they call it,

to ask people their opinion whether they believe

that lie exists

or that he is 1, you'll be lucky

to get 15 or 5%.

If you apply

this to our country's backbone,

you see how all the tyrants, they want

their children to become rulers out of them

and their grandchildren.

You'll get so depressed, you wanna shoot yourself

in the head. And this is the reality

we have back home. Okay? Mas'alat al Ashura.

Number 3.

We spoke about

justice, and we spoke about Mashura. And number

3,

the

So Sadar al Din alaihi said how come

you gave each one of us one piece

of cloth and took 2 for yourself?

So Omar El Alaihi said my son Abdullah

ibn Ummah will respond.

I'm talking about 1,000,000,000 of dollars that are

abused by,

you know,

the royal families back home. This is called

death in Islamic law. This is called death.

Salihah, if there is a king or a

Now, to put it in perspective, now think

about

Steve Harper. We're now in Canada.

And he says, okay. Listen, everybody. I'm gonna

be a prime minister forever.

I this is crazy. This is not acceptable.

If you apply to our society's backbone, you

will be stressed out. And this is the

reality.

Number 4.

We spoke about justice,

and we spoke

about Ashura,

and we spoke about listening to criticism

from people. And number 4,

caring for the people.

A ruler is one of the people.

What will you do to that thief when

you become a governor and a judge of

Egypt?

He said, if they bring me a thief

and I know the evidence is there that

he's actually a thief, I'm gonna cut off

his hand. So, Allah

says, and if

someone comes to me from Egypt

complaining about poverty, he can't find clues for

his family. I'm gonna cut their hand off.

So, I made it very clear for you.

I'm gonna conclude with the Hadith from Rasool

As Salaman.

The prophet

says every single one of you is in

charge, and everyone in charge will be accountable

on the day of judgement. Then the prophet

says a ruler or a president

is accountable for his people,

a husband

is accountable for his family, and the wife

too is in charge, and she's accountable for

them.

As I said,

the tyrants and the rulers back home, they

are hated by the people for the horror

things we mentioned.

No justice, no Ashura with the people, they

don't appoint qualified people to run the country,

they don't accept Nasayah or advise.

So I apply the Hadith

to the rest of the people that the

prophet

mentioned. If there is a president or a

ruler back home, he is in charge of

the whole nation,

you too, brother,

and the sisters in the back, you are

in charge for the family, as the prophet

said, and apply before things to yourself.

Do you maintain justice among your children?

Okay.

When you run the house, you run the

by Hashima as we spoke.

When you look for a surah for your

daughter or son, you look for someone to

marry your daughter or son, do you always

look for someone with iman and the sihah

and as well as the prophet said in

the Hadith?

So as I said, the Hadith applied to

the tyrants and the rulers back home. It

also applies to yourself.

We always think about the Mubaliks and the

Ghazaliks and the al Islamic and all these

people.

And among ourselves, we have lived in the

Abaliks, lived in Mubaliks, and lived in our

families. We abused our families, our children,

and we don't maintain

the Islamic values and the Islamic adab when

we run our families

just like these diaspora,

the country's

backbone. So you have to think about it

this way. I'll conclude with this small story.

I heard of a man.
