will love a hybrid Honey Honey 107 a la vie the US Senator Washington morning.
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			Welcome to the Datsun bada that,
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
			for now, I'm not gonna
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:50
			I didn't get my foot back by sharing with you. A story that took place in London was was a lot it
was southern that took place in the battle about itself. In the battle trenches.
		
00:00:51 --> 00:01:02
			It was a time when the promise of law abiding was setting them, you sent everybody a man with your
loved one to go and inquire about the plants of the Quraysh. And the plans of the opposition.
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:34
			Are they friendly, a lot of your love it went and it was a time of night. And of course, they did
not have electricity like we have, we benefit from so there was sitting around a fire. And sometimes
because of the strong winds the fire was not able to sustain. So one time so that time for them.
When we abandon based on the instructions of the Prophet, he went and he sat down in the area or a
Rothko with the grayish and they were not aware of that he is there, they were not aware that they
couldn't be a man is there.
		
00:01:35 --> 00:02:17
			At that time, the leaders of the old age, they began to talk and discuss their plans and their
strategy for the next day and to go and you know, plan regarding the war in the battle, I guess was
was a lot while he was alone, and the Sahaba of the alarm on which mine. At that time, some of the
players they had already sensed that there is someone in our gathering that is not amongst us. So
the leader at that time, I believe at that time was also here. And he said that everyone, I believe
that there is an intruder here amongst us, someone who does not belong amongst us. So I want
everyone to grab the hand of the other and ask who are you who they might be about what your level
		
00:02:17 --> 00:03:08
			is, knowing the situation that he's in understanding the the atmosphere that he's sitting in, and
understanding that tension tension. He immediately he reacted. And before someone could grab his
hand, he grabbed the hand of the other. And he asked that person who are you not giving a chance to
anyone else to ask him who he was. That's the Orlova. What they extract from this is that a Muslim
is always aware of his surroundings. And he always adapts to his to his atmosphere into the
surroundings that he's in. Likewise, as Muslims living in this country, we need to continue to
educate ourselves and remain and remain aware of our surroundings. Because this is what Muslim is
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:16
			he's always aware of his environment. Since the tragic events that took place on September 11 2011,
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:39
			the landscape of Islam and Muslims has changed drastically over the years. There are times where the
there's a high alert in this country. There are times when people have opened the garden and they're
openly spreading Islamophobia. There are people who are openly saying negative things about Islam.
		
00:03:40 --> 00:04:25
			And the question is that how do we react in a time like this? What are we supposed to do as muslims
in a time like this? And then not only that, but now as we see the news every single day, there are
that there are terrorist groups and extremist groups such as ISIS, spreading corruption, spreading
fear, in the hearts of in the hearts of innocent civilians taking the lives of innocent civilians.
And the question is that what does that mean do I do? How am I supposed to phases on these
challenges? So the very first thing I want to share with all of you is that when we talk about
extremism, when we talk about extremism, each one of us we have our own definition of what Islamic
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:59
			extremism is. And honestly to me when you look at when you when you see online, when you see the
title when you watch television, you will see that that the media takes Islam and extremism and they
put them together in one sentence. Although me personally, I believe that the same Islamic extremism
is an oxymoron. It's it's not an extremism do not go hand in hand. To begin with. Islam teaches us
is something that is that there is no extreme. Allah says in the sort of buffalo look at Danica John
Masako
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:37
			We have created a new a modern Uma, there is no extreme, there can be one extreme in terms of a bar
that a person only worships, worships, worships, and he does not fulfill the obligations of his
family. That is one extreme. The other extreme is that a person does not pray at all. Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, of course, we see that we have to perform our prayers. At the same
time, there was a woman that came to the Prophet salAllahu alayhi wasallam. And she complained about
her husband, that he is always engaged in a battle that during the day, he is fasting. During the
nighttime, he is engaged in salon, he has no time for his family. He does not fulfill the rights of
		
00:05:37 --> 00:06:19
			his family members, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa set it up. He discouraged that he discouraged
that. So when we talk about extremism, Allah, Allah talks about this, the pro about Islam talks
about this that there is no issues of Islam. There is no extremism, Islam, there is only the
moderate path. We're going to advocate Donald apple from within Muslim calm, but in Indy, from a
strictly political point of view, and how this word extremism is being linked with Islam. What does
that mean? Is it extremism is driven by misinterpreting the Quran and the Sunnah, that people who
are considered as extra as extremist, they believe that is smiled and Islamic law is a religious end
		
00:06:20 --> 00:07:10
			at the same time, a political system. They believe that surely must be enforced in the public by
establishing a Global Islamic State. In other words, Islamic extremists consider it to be the only
legitimate form of governance and they rejected it. They reject democracy and human rights values.
Therefore, the all the the ultimate objective of extremists is the merger between mosque and state.
Under the law of Sharia extremists also believe that they are obligated to install this form of
governance and Muslim majority majority territories, countries and eventually throughout the entire
world. Someone may ask that what goes through their mind when they are taking the lies and they
		
00:07:10 --> 00:08:04
			weren't spreading corruption in the mind of an extremist, they are promoting their highest level of
justice and freedom by instituting by instituting shunning. And in some cases, extremists even
describe shunning as a superior form of democracy. extremists have in to have intermediate political
goals, which they believe will pave the way for the global implementation of Shetty and peace
inevitably, as of extremism includes terrorism, human rights abuses, the advancement of Sharia based
governance, bigotry towards non Muslims, and rival Muslims, and overall hostility towards the west,
and in particular Western democracy. This is exactly what extremists are. And subhanAllah these are
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:48
			people who also claim that they are promoting Islam in shutting up as I said, but when we look at
the lifers who also log on even sending them no one was a better example than the rest of us that
Allah morning listen. And we look at the life of the prophet and we understand what Islam is.
Because what happens is that when we begin to define Islam in our own in our own ways, we begin to
give a different definition. That is where the icons that's where all these corruptions come from.
The religion that has come to us it is only from Homicide alone. It was set up next week on Friday,
next week, Friday will be the day of Arafah It is a day of Hanukkah, Allah subhanho wa Taala he sent
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:57
			an idea to Roswell, somebody who said no saint and Yom Yom Dena goon, one called a career Monday.
What are these resumes? Nina
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:46
			that Allah has sent out. I don't like that today. Allah has completed this way of life. This D this
religion. Welcome to our local mayor Medina completed my dear man upon you, what are leading up Mr.
Medina and I have chosen Islam as a religion and as a code of conduct in a way of life for you and
your followers. And anyone who goes away from that path, anyone who begins to create their own
definitions, that is not Islam, that is their own desires, and that is their own numbers. That is
not Islam. Currently, as I said earlier, we have groups in the world such as ISIS, that today they
are taking the lives of innocent people. I fully understand that you can disagree with one another.
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:59
			We as human beings, we're not told that we have to always do we have to agree with one another. But
when we go back into the life, when we go back to the likeness was a wild party was suddenly in
fact, as the title responsible a lot of it was
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:44
			I know that there were people and there was a group that was organized and created advertising, to
sell, sell and under recall the house cottage. And these people, what they would do is that everyone
who would disagree with their political ideas, anyone who would disagree with their values, their
life was taken. There is history in history, we find, we find records that tells us that these
people went and they took the lives of innocent Muslims, anyone who disagreed with them, they took
the lives of women, women who were expecting children more pregnant, they will take the bias of
those kinds of people. Today, right now, the media is spreading this hate that and they're
		
00:10:44 --> 00:11:13
			generalizing everyone, that even right now there are things there are people who are saying in
media, that if this is what ISIS is doing, and they are claiming to be Muslims, there are over one
there. The overall population of Muslims, other phases, Earth is 1.8 billion people. And they're
saying that 1.8 billion people all that from beginning to end men, women, children, they're all
terrorists.
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:17
			They're all terrorists. They're all extremist.
		
00:11:18 --> 00:12:01
			So we need to understand, and we need to convey this to begin with, that these people what they are
promoting, and what they are teaching is against the teachings of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi
wasallam. Senator, when we say the Syrah on the record, and you sit down, even after the battles,
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he will find a reason to let the people go freely, not
mandatory, I think he lives here, we're talking about letting them go freely. There are times that
we find in the Syrah of the prophet that the Prophet Allah his son did not add anything for the
people will not come and give any kind of valuable to Mr. to, for the ransom of a person and the
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:43
			Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would just simply let that person go, the province Illawarra
usnm, living in Medina, where you have Jews where you had Christians where you had the runoff your
deed, and then these were people who openly oppose those lesser love it was said that they disagreed
with the province after sundown, but not a single time do we find in the seed of the profit that you
went, he raised the war against these people and he took the lives of these innocent people, not a
single time to refine that. And it was against the teaching of force a lot of money was set up that
anyone duty the life of another person. In fact, we know the soil sounds insane when he took the
		
00:12:43 --> 00:13:01
			life of a person and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was so upset with him in the Quran, and
we clearly highlighted that what is the what is the sin for a person who takes the lives of an
innocent person? He said Allah Subhan Allah in the Quran, he says, that
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:09
			middle aged a daddy I can never know when he is sorry either I don't know who man other than Epson
Epson officers and fill out
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:53
			the NASA Dyneema that anyone who takes a live of an innocent person, it is tantamount to taking the
life of your entire humanity. Likewise, anyone who saves an innocent soul, anyone who says anyone
else's life is equivalent to saying saving the lives of the entire humanity. This is a lesson behind
telling us in the Quran that what is the sin of a person who takes a lot from another person. Right
now there are these kinds of groups who are spreading this hate. There are spreading demonstrators
hate you have groups like ISIS, that they are giving a wrong impression about Islam. And once again,
this is clearly against the teachings of Russel Wallace and Allamani was send them because it's not
		
00:13:53 --> 00:14:38
			always promotes forgiveness. When the Prophet alayhi salam went to first went to conquer Makkah. It
was a time when the police in Mecca. They were literally under the impression that now Hamas have a
lot of volume when someone is entering into mucca mucca now belongs to Him. That is when you take
revenge from every single person who had heard him or any of his Sahaba you had people like they
come out in Abuja, the son of Uncle John Nigma, who fled Makkah and the promises and tells the one
of Electromatic go back and bring your husband back. And when it comes back to home so while while
he was seven he says that there is the I forgive you. And there is nothing between there's nothing
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:59
			in my heart. And not only that, but people like him and the wife of the superyacht. When she left
her home, she saw that people in Makati they were not going out and reach out and take the advice of
other people in retaliation. But when she went out trying to see the what is going on in Mecca, she
thought that they played it
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:39
			Muslims have taken over my God. Now they'll be celebrating during the night. But there was Pin drop
silence at night. She leaves her home, just to find them homeless and a lot of money was setting up
and the Sahaba are holding on to the cover of the Kaaba and they're crying for the giant of the
village. They're crying and they're praying to Allah that Allah Allah die the pledge of the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he forgave every single person there, he forgave every single person
there, if this is who the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was, and these groups like ISIS, they
are, they are spreading murder and corruption, there are not there and there are nothing even close
		
00:15:39 --> 00:16:26
			to the Sharia of Islam. So in a time like this, when when people are saying that these are Muslims,
and these are the Muslims, like living in America, we have Islamophobes that are spreading this,
this fear, which is like newly manufactured into the hearts of the average American. And that right
now you have people like politicians from Oklahoma, saying things to the nature, that Muslims in our
society is like a cancer in the body. And like, just like cancer needs to be wiped out completely.
Likewise, the Muslims in this in the United States, they need to be wiped out completely. You have
politicians saying things of this nature. And that's why if you are in touch with care, you know,
		
00:16:26 --> 00:17:11
			and you probably heard that Muslims in Oklahoma have strived to receive death threats. They're
starting to receive death threats. We hear the word Islamic extremists in Muslim fundamentalist
radical Islam is these are just some labels that have been wrongly applied to Muslims. So in a time
like this, what do we do? Also, not to mention that even right now, as I speak, there are people
Islamophobes, who are spreading hate by even putting posters on and they are putting posters, and
anti Islamic heads in subways in New York, they are putting posters on buses, saying that Muslims
are terrorists, Muslims are no different than people like Hitler from the past. They are spreading
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:13
			this hate and they are spreading this corruption.
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:52
			So what are we supposed to do in a time like this? What are we supposed to do? There's so there are
two things I want to share with you that what we are supposed to do. Number one is that limit in
this country, you know, there's a term order the citizen people on the herd, protect and serve your
country, you've heard this before. Being a resident in the United States, we don't have to, we don't
have to serve our country, if we don't want to, unless we are forced to. But there is one thing that
we must do. And this is an obligation upon every single person, and that is to protect your country.
Now, let me say this.
		
00:17:53 --> 00:18:24
			We may sit here and we may disagree with our government. We may disagree, how they are handling our
tax money. They we may disagree with their decisions. We made this agree with their political
system. But still, when we have chosen to live in this country, it becomes our responsibility to
protect the interests of this country. Also, no one has forced us to live here. Each one of us we
have chosen to live here.
		
00:18:25 --> 00:19:06
			And imagine this, imagine there was a Muslim country where you have people from different faiths and
different religions coming into the Islamic country and spreading corruption there. How would the
Muslims feel about that? How would the muscle feel about that? Likewise, likewise, we need to think
about it from that angle with a we have to protect our country. And subhanAllah. When you go back,
when you go back to the scene of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, we see from the lack of
the prophet that once we have made a commitment, we have to follow through with that commitment. We
have fulfilled that commitment. And I want to give you three examples. One example is the example of
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:44
			how they may be a member of your loved one once again. How are they going to get by with your loved
one he and his father, they were Muslims. And they were traveling they were coming to Medina one
time that there was talk on the way going to Medina but to polish. The police knew that the battle
of brothers just ordered this battle that is brewing for the clients regarding this battle is
brewing with a lot of tension taking place. And so they had somewhat of an idea that the battle of
others might take place where I battle in general. So they told the day by me a man who that you and
your father vote only on the condition or in the condition that you are not to participate in the
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:59
			battle against us against us. Promise. Whatever your man and his father they agreed that fine, we
will not. When he came back to Medina, he informed us was a law while he was on while the problem
was
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:36
			It was while he was in the planning stages regarding development there, he told the profitable loss
also now that I have taken a I have made a commitment, I've made a promise to the operation, that
they will let me go and come to Medina only on the condition that I really want to participate with
you. And the problem is I send them nothing when I look at this. The problem is if someone says he
said that, you know what, I don't care, they are the police. They are the profile, they are the
unbelievers, you made a commitment, that commitment has no has no value. He did not say that was the
promise or some said is that if you didn't make the commitment, you must follow through with
		
00:20:36 --> 00:21:18
			recursion. You are not to participate in the battle. You are not to participate about whether the
process is teaching us that when you make a commitment to someone, when you make a commitment to
anyone, even when I'm talking about to our country, to this country, we have to follow through with
that commitment. And be in this situation when the Muslims they were prosecuted in Makkah because of
their faith and their beliefs when they migrated to Abyssinia. They stayed in Amazonia and they
lived in artesania, under the molding of Natasha, the Polish and the outcomes. They came to the to
the Najafi with varying a lot of gifts. And they told you that tells you that you have people in
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:42
			your society or in your community, who are people who will spread corruption. And when he inquire
who are those people, the police, they said that these are Muslims living in your land, who was for
the corruption. Now Joshi said that these are not people who will spread corruption, they are living
in the land. It is my goal to you once again at that time, he was a Christian later on, based on
some reports. And
		
00:21:43 --> 00:22:23
			what we know from the judge is that he did some of the stuff in his life. But at that time, when he
left the Muslim stake in his country, he was a Christian of their time. And he said, and what we
spied and were receiving the sealer is that these Muslims living under non Islamic rule, they never,
they never violated the terms of the agreement. They stayed in that country. And they never cause
corruption. Once again, they made a commitment to live there under the rule, and they did live
there. And they did not go against or they nor violate their terms. Finally, I want to give you the
example of what they do and how they react. So it was somebody made an agreement with the
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:57
			manipulation. As we all know, it was a one sided agreement. It was really, really a one sided
agreement. And that's why some of the Sahaba they were really upset. But what we see is that the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam you follow through with that commitment, even though it may have
been a one sided agreement or one sided commitment. And what happened was that we know the story of
the agenda of your loved one that he came to the low sell low when he was setting up. And it was in
the agreement in that peace treaty, that if anyone comes to Medina from Makkah, he has been returned
back to Makkah.
		
00:22:58 --> 00:23:39
			And if someone comes from Medina to Makkah, we will keep it in Macau. It was unfair. The promises
agreed with that that type of agenda of your wild lion was one of those people that came to the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam seeking health and protection. But because the program as
amended agreement with that kind of problem, somebody had to return back. He says, no, no, you
cannot come with me, I have made an agreement. Once again, we see for the lack of the profit that
wouldn't. Once we have made a commitment, we have to follow through with that commitment. We're
living in this country, we have to talk we have to be observant of our surroundings, we have to see
		
00:23:39 --> 00:24:21
			what is going on around us. If we find a potential threat in our community, we must talk to the
responsible people in our community. And then finally, we must we must make people aware about it.
I'm not saying so spread false rumors about one another. I'm talking about if you find a legitimate
case, where there is a person who can hurt the reputation because of his actions, he can hurt. The
reputation of Islam and Muslims in this country is our obligation to protect and it is our
obligation to take a stand and to protect our country. Now, what are we supposed to do? Also, we
said that we have to follow we have made a commitment. But there's something else I want all of us
		
00:24:21 --> 00:24:59
			to do. And that is that today we are surrounded by social media. There's Facebook, there's Twitter,
there's Instagram, there's so many other social media outlets, our children every single day they
watch the news. They see this on television, they were watching all the propaganda and the
stereotyping that is taking place against Muslims, in on Twitter, on Facebook everywhere. As parents
it is our obligation that we should sit down with our children and we should talk to our children
about this. Not to promote this, but to find out that what do they think about this? When they watch
this over and over again?
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:37
			If I believe me, your children will have some punches in the back of their mind. And as parents,
because we don't ask our children, that, what do you think about this? What is your thought about
this? What is your opinion about this, I want you to sit down with these ideas in their mind these
questions, and they are left unanswered. And as long as this idea sits in their head, and begins to
bother them over and over again, the longer it sits in the subconscious mind, the more you will
bother them. As parents, we shouldn't be sitting down with our children, and we should have this
conversation, we should talk to them. Because whatever they see on media, trust me, the mind
		
00:25:37 --> 00:26:19
			processes it. And as it is, then set the store and the subconscious mind. And it is there in their
mind. And until we don't talk to them, and until we don't clear any kind of misconceptions, you will
continue to remain there. So that's why once again, I strongly urge that please do talk to your
children. You know, there was a brother that came to me and he told me that my son, he's watching
this on the television, he's watching this, and then he comes to me and he says that Baba, will we
be killed? And are we going to be hunted down, but people are living in this country. And that
father, he was so shocked to hear words coming from his son and his son is no more than six, seven
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:55
			years old. Our six, seven year old children are watching this and be the things that are popping
into their mind. And as parents, we never sit down and have this conversation with them. We should
talk to your children, you know, try to observe in feet, you know, where are they coming from? What
are they saying? Try to pick their brain try to you know, dig into their psyche and find out how
they're thinking about all this and what is their opinion but all this mail is fine, you always
ability Inshallah, in the next part of the full but there's something else I want to mention
something else that it is our obligation that we must do in order to protect the Muslims and Islam
		
00:26:55 --> 00:27:09
			in this country for you for now. And for future purposes. There's one more thing I'm going to share
with you Inshallah, we'll talk about that in a second. But alone, and I will leave whenever another
young lady with a hockey stick football anyway, we're saying we'll see if I stop
		
00:27:18 --> 00:27:37
			and have a candlelight afternoon when I start you know, when I stopped you know, when I was in them
show me Yeah, do you love them? Linda, when you look further ahead, you're much more likely that
they will actually occur when it's going to happen in October. So my basketball quarterback with
either football and Medina for 100 got opened and ownership apologies for that. Remember he in
Oklahoma.
		
00:27:38 --> 00:27:45
			I mean, you need to have no Sunday morning, he was in the steamer alongside my father and Muhammad
Ali, for him while
		
00:27:49 --> 00:27:57
			he was in virgin, before I continue further, please do come forward, he's will come forward through
setting outside the charging port space inside.
		
00:28:00 --> 00:28:39
			So we understand the severity of the matter. We understand that there's a lot of Islamophobia
supporting our country. There's a lot of people saying that Muslims are an extremist. And we
shouldn't be careful of Muslims, we should ever be around Muslims. And all this credit haze
spreading around what are we supposed to do? As I said, number one is that we should we are
obligated to protect our country. And we have made a commitment. And once again, what do I say about
that commitment is that this is not only a rule that we find only in this country, every single
country demands its residents, people living in their country to protect their country. This is not
		
00:28:39 --> 00:29:20
			only what the United States of America, any country you go to the one that people to protect their
country. We talked about the importance of talking to each talking, talking to your children about
this and see what is their opinion, and what is their thought process behind all this. But the most
important thing behind all this is that keeping in mind is that while all this spread of spread of
fear and hate is going around, let us not lose let us not lose our focus. And let us let us let's
look at the single source of love it was sadhana. And we see that the times and the time of the
times or the the challenges during the time of the problems that a lot of it was seven were far more
