			Allah Allah Allah Allah Allah
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:33
			Allah Allah Brothers
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:39
			and sisters Today what I'm about to address
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:41
			in my khutbah is a topic that has
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:44
			been discussed at length.
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:46
			It has been discussed many times.
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:49
			But nonetheless, we are living in very difficult
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:51
			and very troubling times.
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:56
			It is almost one year, almost one year,
		
00:04:57 --> 00:05:01
			since the onslaught against our brothers and sisters
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:03
			in Gaza has been taking place.
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:06
			Almost one entire year.
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:09
			Not only that, but we see and we
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:14
			hear the news taking place from other places
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:15
			around the world.
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:16
			We see the corruption.
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:20
			We see the hatred against our brothers and
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:22
			sisters happening in India.
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:25
			We see what's happening in places like France.
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:28
			We see what's happening in various parts around
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:29
			the world.
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:32
			And we ask ourselves that when is the
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:34
			help of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala going
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:34
			to come?
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:38
			And as if that was not enough, we
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:41
			see injustice just spreading over and over again.
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:44
			We see what's happening now in Lebanon.
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:48
			May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala protect our
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:50
			brothers and sisters in Lebanon also.
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:53
			I mean this apartheid regime.
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:55
			May Allah destroy them.
		
00:05:57 --> 00:06:00
			May Allah teach them a lesson that no
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:01
			one has ever seen before.
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:04
			May Allah make an example out of them.
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:08
			As if it was not enough to go
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:10
			after our brothers and sisters in Gaza.
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:14
			Now they're dropping bombs in places like Lebanon.
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:18
			300 people, 400 people have passed away.
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:20
			And the question that many of us, you
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:23
			and I are asking, that when is the
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:24
			ummah going to wake up?
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:28
			Like how many people have to die before
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:29
			the ummah wakes up?
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:34
			Before these corrupt Muslim leaders, they wake up
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:37
			and there's any kind of shred of rahmah
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:39
			and mercy in their hearts.
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:43
			Brothers and sisters, as if that was not
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:46
			enough, and we all heard the news this
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:49
			week that a dear brother of ours, he's
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:52
			a member of all of us because we
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:53
			are one ummah.
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:58
			Our dear brother, Marcellus Williams, how he was
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:02
			executed on false charges.
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:05
			And not only that, but when there were
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:08
			pleas that were made to the government, to
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:12
			the state of Missouri, those bids were turned
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:16
			down, those referrals were turned down, those requests
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:17
			were turned down.
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:20
			So you see all this that is happening,
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:23
			and once again, we ask ourselves this one
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:26
			question, مَتَى نَصْرُ اللَّهِ?
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:30
			Where is the help of Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:30
			ta'ala?
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:34
			So keeping this in mind, today in this
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:35
			brief khutbah, I want to share with you
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:37
			five important points.
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:41
			Three of them are spiritually related, and the
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:44
			two other, the last two are things that
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:46
			you and I we can do, living in
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:47
			a corrupt world that we are living in
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:48
			today.
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:50
			The very first thing that we need to
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:53
			understand, brothers and sisters, that many of us,
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:59
			we are talking about, we are discussing about
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:01
			a perfect society.
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:03
			Let me be the very first one to
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:07
			tell you, that in the history of mankind,
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:12
			there is no perfect society, unfortunately.
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:17
			In every single era, in every single time,
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:21
			in every single civilization, that has ever taken
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:24
			place, that has ever existed, from the time
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:26
			of Adam a.s. all the way till
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:29
			today, there will be corruption, there has been
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:35
			corruption, there has been injustices against mankind, mankind
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:36
			towards mankind.
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:40
			And this is something that even existed in
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:41
			the time of the Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:47
			Does any of us actually really believe that
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:49
			the Prophet ﷺ, when he was sent as
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:53
			a prophet, that there was no corruption, there
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:56
			were no crimes taking place in Makkah, even
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:58
			after Rasulullah ﷺ migrated to Medina?
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:03
			Is anyone of us under this assumption that
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:05
			there were no crimes taking place?
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:08
			There were crimes that were taking place.
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:11
			In Makkah, there was injustices that were taking
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:12
			place.
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:16
			There was tribalism that was taking place.
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:19
			And due to tribalism, there were injustices against
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:19
			each other.
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:23
			Just like today within the Hindu religion, there
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:25
			is something called a caste system.
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:28
			There was a caste system that existed in
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:28
			Makkah.
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:31
			And one of the beauties about our deen
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:33
			is that, it does not matter who you
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:35
			are and where you come from, in our
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:38
			deen, in our Islam, there is no such
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:40
			thing called a caste system.
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:43
			Everyone is equal in the eyes of Allah
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:44
			ﷻ.
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:46
			In fact, the one who is the most
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:49
			honorable in the eyes of Allah is, إِنَّ
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:53
			أَكْرَمَكُمْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ أَتْقَاكُمْ Our honor and dignity
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:55
			in the eyes of Allah is completely based
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:58
			on our taqwa towards Allah ﷻ.
		
00:09:59 --> 00:10:01
			But the point is that there were crimes
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:03
			taking place in the life of Rasulullah ﷺ.
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:08
			In the society of Rasulullah ﷺ, in Makkah
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:11
			you would have places where haram was taking
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:14
			place, where drinking was taking place, where you
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:17
			had places where there were red light districts
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:19
			that were existent in the time of the
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:20
			Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:22
			Corruption against each other.
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:26
			Even after the Prophet ﷺ migrated to Medina,
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:29
			there were people who were committing injustices towards
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:30
			each other.
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:33
			Yes, the Muslims were at a more powerful
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:35
			position than they were in Makkah.
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:37
			They had a more authoritative position.
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:39
			But does that mean that there were no
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:39
			sins?
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:42
			It was a picture-perfect society?
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:45
			There is no such thing called a picture
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:46
			-perfect society.
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:49
			Because if there was a picture-perfect society,
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:54
			and Rasulullah ﷺ society was a picture-perfect
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:57
			society, then you and I, we will not
		
00:10:57 --> 00:10:59
			be able to relate to the Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:02
			Because we will say that his society was
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:05
			a perfect society, we're living in a corrupt
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:07
			society, there's no way we can follow the
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:09
			lifestyle of Rasulullah ﷺ.
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:12
			So this is why it is extremely important
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:15
			to understand, that when you don't have a
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:17
			perfect society, this is where the test comes
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:18
			into the picture.
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:20
			You and I are living in this dunya,
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:23
			this is a test, brothers and sisters.
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:26
			Where you have haq, you have batil.
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:28
			Where you have iman, you have kufr.
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:31
			Where you have adal, you have injustice.
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:35
			You have the opposite of every single thing.
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:37
			And you and I are in the middle.
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:39
			We are in the thick and thin of
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:40
			every single thing.
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:44
			Between the two polar opposites, the two spectrums,
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:45
			we are between them.
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:47
			And this is where the test comes into
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:47
			the picture.
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:50
			Either we can earn our money the halal
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:53
			way, and the haram opportunities are available, and
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:54
			we stay away from that.
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:55
			That is our test.
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:58
			So brothers and sisters, the reason, the very
		
00:11:58 --> 00:11:59
			first thing that we need to understand is,
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:02
			there is no such thing called a picture
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:03
			perfect world.
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:06
			There are gonna be crimes, there is gonna
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:07
			be things that are gonna take our kids
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:07
			away.
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:10
			But that is where the test is.
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:12
			If a person can live in these kind
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:15
			of times, and protect their iman, and protect
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:17
			their faith, then this is why Allah subhanahu
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:20
			wa ta'ala will give that person jannah.
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:22
			There has to be a great reward for
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:25
			living in times like these, and still maintaining
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:25
			your faith.
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:28
			And that is why these people will be
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:30
			given, inshaAllah, jannah by Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:31
			'ala.
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:37
			Number two, these kind of times creates a
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:40
			lot of hopelessness within the minds of many
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:42
			Muslims, within the hearts of many Muslims.
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:45
			And brothers and sisters, we need to understand
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:46
			one simple thing.
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:49
			If there is anyone who has been through
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:52
			difficulty, yes, you and I are going through
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:52
			some difficulty.
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:54
			Are we going through difficulties as much as
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:55
			our brothers and sisters in Gaza?
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:57
			Absolutely not.
		
00:12:57 --> 00:12:59
			We do not even come remotely even close
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:02
			to the challenges that they are going through.
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:07
			What's going on in India, masajids are being
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:08
			leveled to the ground.
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:11
			What we see happening in France, what we
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:15
			see happening in many different countries, what they
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:16
			are going through, we are not going through
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:17
			in that same capacity.
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:21
			But brothers and sisters, we understand that even
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:25
			Rasulullah ﷺ, he also went through difficulties too.
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:29
			And the Prophet ﷺ tells us, he gives
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:31
			us these glad tidings.
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:34
			He gives us a perspective about every single
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:34
			thing.
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:38
			Today when we talk about our situation, we
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:40
			say that if there are good times, they
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:41
			are from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:43
			If there are bad times, these are punishments
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:44
			from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:47
			But my Prophet and your Prophet ﷺ, he
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:50
			says in a hadith, that no matter if
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:53
			there are good times or bad times too,
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:56
			they are always good for the believer.
		
00:13:56 --> 00:14:02
			عَجَبًا لِأَمْرِ الْمُؤْمِنِ إِنَّ أَمْرَهُ كُلَّهُ لَهُ خَيْرٌ
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:07
			Every single situation is good for a believer.
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:10
			إِنْ أَصَابَتْهُ سَرَّا If there are good times,
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:13
			شَكَرَ فَكَانَ خَيْرَ اللَّهُ And he is thankful
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:15
			to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, this is
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:16
			good for him.
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:18
			And if there are difficulties, difficult times, you
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:20
			and I psychologically, we are going through difficult
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:23
			times, to open up social media and to
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:27
			see people's houses being leveled, people, children, taking
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:30
			their mothers to the graveyards and coming back
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:33
			home without their mothers, without their fathers, crying
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:35
			and telling their own mothers, please wake up,
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:37
			telling their fathers, please wake up.
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:40
			Wallahi if our hearts do not bleed, if
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:43
			our hearts do not cry, then wallahi we
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:44
			have hard hearts.
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:47
			When we look at these kind of situations,
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:51
			brothers and sisters, we remind ourselves, even this,
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:53
			there must be some khair in it from
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:54
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:57
			I don't know, but I put my trust
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:59
			in Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:02
			And this is why spiritually also speaking, this
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:04
			is where we need to put our tawakkul
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:06
			in Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:09
			Imam Ghazali rahmatullahi alayhi says, that what is
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:10
			tawakkul?
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:12
			Tawakkul is to have that firm belief in
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:15
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, that whatever Allah
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:18
			has destined, it is good for us, and
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:21
			whatever will come towards us, there is no
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:22
			one who can stop it.
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:25
			And if Allah has destined that something will
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:27
			not come to us, then the entire world
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:29
			will get together, and they will try to
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:31
			benefit us, but they cannot benefit us.
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:33
			This is where we need to put our
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:36
			tawakkul in Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:38
			Ya Allah, I don't understand your system.
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:41
			Ya Allah, I don't understand all the chaos
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:41
			that is happening.
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:44
			Ya Allah, I don't know why this is
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:47
			happening against my Muslim brothers and sisters, but
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:50
			Ya Allah, you are the best disposer of
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:51
			all my affairs.
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:54
			Ya Allah, I put, ufawwidu amri ila Allah.
		
00:15:55 --> 00:15:56
			I put my matter in the hands of
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:58
			Allah, and I put my trust in Allah
		
00:15:58 --> 00:15:59
			subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:02
			Once again brothers and sisters, you and I,
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:04
			when we look at a picture, we are
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:06
			looking at it in a microscopic way.
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:08
			When Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala paints a
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:11
			picture, when He is the ultimate planner, He
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:13
			looks at everything from a bird's eye view.
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:16
			You and I, we have a very limited
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:19
			sight on what is going on.
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:22
			Ultimately there is a plan of Allah subhanahu
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:23
			wa ta'ala, and we got to put
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:24
			our trust in Allah.
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:26
			And we have in these kind of times,
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:28
			we turn to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:30
			and we ask Him for His guidance.
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:33
			Even in these kind of times, brothers and
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:36
			sisters, ask yourself, we ask ourselves, when the
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:39
			onslaught started taking place against our brothers and
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:41
			sisters in Gaza, where were the steps you
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:42
			and I, we were taking?
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:45
			We were taking certain steps in our life.
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:47
			We had come closer to Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:47
			ta'ala.
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:50
			There were certain things that we were boycotting
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:50
			in our life.
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:53
			Financially also, we were not giving certain people,
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:56
			certain corporations our money and so forth.
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:58
			But what has happened to all that?
		
00:16:58 --> 00:16:59
			What has happened to all that?
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:02
			There's a lot of emotion, but are we
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:04
			doing what we need to do on our
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:04
			end?
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:06
			No, we're not anymore.
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:09
			We were doing in a certain capacity, but
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:10
			are we doing them anymore right now?
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:11
			We're not.
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:13
			So this is why brothers and sisters, when
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:15
			it comes to all these matters that are
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:18
			taking place, do not ever lose hope in
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:20
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, but put your
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:22
			trust in Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:25
			SubhanAllah, our dear brother Marcellus Williams, if you
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:27
			look at his interview, what did he say?
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:30
			He says, I am completely pleased with the
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:31
			qadr of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:33
			Can you imagine?
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:35
			Put one of ourselves in his shoes.
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:36
			We're about to die.
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:38
			We're about to be put on death row.
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:40
			And he's sitting over there and saying that
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:44
			my Prophet ﷺ said, that he will make
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:49
			a dua, that whenever life is good, اللهم
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:52
			أحيني ما كانت الحياة خير لي وتوفني إذا
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:54
			كانت الوفاة خير لي.
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:56
			He's saying this, that my Prophet ﷺ says,
		
00:17:57 --> 00:17:59
			that Ya Allah, keep me alive as long
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:00
			as life is good for me.
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:02
			And Ya Allah, bring my life to an
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:04
			end when death is good for me.
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:06
			And he's saying this, and not only that
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:08
			but he mentions that all the praises is
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:10
			for Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:12
			And he puts all his affairs in the
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:13
			hands of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:15
			Brothers and sisters, these are the kind of
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:17
			people we need to look at them.
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:20
			And we need to be influenced by them.
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:23
			Their iman, their strength, their courage.
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:25
			When you look at the kids in Palestine,
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:28
			subhanAllah, no matter what is happening right now
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:30
			there, you see that they always turn back
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:31
			to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:33
			And here you and I, we're not even
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:36
			going through an ounce of challenges, what they're
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:37
			going through.
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:39
			And yet here we're losing our faith.
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:41
			Brothers and sisters, let's look at them, and
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:42
			let's maintain our faith.
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:49
			Number three, when it comes to oppression, Allah
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:50
			subhanahu wa ta'ala says in the Qur
		
00:18:50 --> 00:18:55
			'an, وَمَا الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا مَتَاعُ الْغُرُورِ This
		
00:18:55 --> 00:18:58
			dunya is a delusion, it's an illusion.
		
00:18:58 --> 00:19:04
			It makes you seem that you have something,
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:07
			we have something, but in reality we don't
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:07
			have anything.
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:10
			Everything is in the hands of Allah subhanahu
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:10
			wa ta'ala.
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:14
			Every single corrupt leader thinks, that I can
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:16
			do whatever I want to do, and I
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:18
			will get away with it.
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:20
			And this is the spiritual point here that
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:22
			we need to take as Muslims, that no
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:26
			matter what's going on, we remember, we remind
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:29
			ourselves, every single rak'ah, what do we
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:29
			recite?
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:32
			مَا لِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ At the end of
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:36
			the day, every single person will be brought
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:38
			to life, and they'll be brought before Allah
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:39
			subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:43
			And I'm just picturing, that what will be
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:45
			the situation on the Day of Judgment, where
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:48
			you have every single supporter of this genocide
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:50
			on one side, and on the other side
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:53
			you have the entire public of Gaza standing
		
00:19:53 --> 00:19:54
			over there.
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:57
			And it's just a scene that I personally
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:58
			cannot wait to see on the Day of
		
00:19:58 --> 00:19:59
			Judgment.
		
00:19:59 --> 00:20:00
			And I'm sure many of you share that
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:02
			same sentiment also.
		
00:20:02 --> 00:20:06
			But brothers and sisters, let's remind ourselves, that
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:08
			every single person will receive justice.
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:11
			If animals are gonna be given justice, never
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:13
			should a person believe that this is the
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:15
			end of the story, the chapter is closed,
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:16
			justice will not be served.
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:20
			Wallahi, I'm standing here on this minbar, these
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:21
			are the words of Allah, these are the
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:24
			words of Prophet ﷺ, when they say that
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:26
			justice will be served.
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:28
			When Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala He says,
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:32
			أَلَيْسَ اللَّهُ بِأَحْكَمِ الْحَاكِمِينَ On the Day of
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:35
			Judgment, Allah will be judge, He will be
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:37
			jury, and He will be executioner.
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:39
			It is not a corrupt world that we
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:42
			see today, where politicians are hiding behind other
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:42
			politicians.
		
00:20:43 --> 00:20:46
			Aggressors and criminals are hiding behind other people.
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:49
			On the Day of Judgment, every single person
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:52
			will be for themselves, and no one can
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:53
			defend anyone on that day.
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:57
			So always remind yourself, brothers and sisters, what
		
00:20:57 --> 00:21:00
			we see happening right now, this dunya will
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:01
			come to an end.
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:04
			But that doesn't ever mean that they will
		
00:21:04 --> 00:21:05
			not get their justice.
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:08
			Remember, they will get their justice.
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:10
			Remember that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:11
			punish them.
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:14
			As far as us, we as Muslims, we
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:16
			always ask that when it comes to our
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:18
			affairs, on the Day of Judgment, we always
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:21
			ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala for His
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:22
			rahmah and for His mercy.
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:24
			Because if Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala does
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:27
			justice, when it comes to even our own
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:31
			personal affairs, there might be some things that
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:33
			will come up, and we might find ourselves
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:34
			in a difficult situation.
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:37
			That is why we always ask for ourselves,
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:39
			for rahmah and His mercy on the Day
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:39
			of Judgment.
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:41
			But at the end of the day, the
		
00:21:41 --> 00:21:43
			point is, I'm trying to make is, that
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:45
			no person should ever feel that there is
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:46
			not going to be any justice.
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:48
			There will be no justice in this dunya.
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:48
			Why?
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:50
			Because this dunya is a...
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:52
			is mata'ul ghurood.
		
00:21:52 --> 00:21:54
			This dunya is a world of deception.
		
00:21:54 --> 00:21:57
			But in the akhira, most certainly, just like
		
00:21:57 --> 00:21:59
			today, they are looking at other people, begging
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:01
			for their lives, and they still are taking
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:02
			the lives of other people.
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:05
			On that day, these criminals, wallahi, they're going
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:06
			to be begging for their life, and there
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:08
			will be no mercy shown to them on
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:08
			the Day of Judgment.
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:12
			Now the last two things are things that
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:13
			you and I, we can do.
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:16
			Number four.
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:19
			Brothers and sisters, while we are looking at
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:23
			all the injustices that are taking place, sometimes
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:25
			we need to take a moment and look
		
00:22:25 --> 00:22:27
			at ourselves in the mirror.
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:31
			We talk about all these injustices, but am
		
00:22:31 --> 00:22:36
			I, personally, am I committing any injustices towards
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:37
			anyone else?
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:41
			A husband needs to ask themselves, am I
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:44
			committing any injustices towards my wife?
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:47
			A wife needs to ask herself, am I
		
00:22:47 --> 00:22:49
			committing any injustices towards my husband?
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:53
			An employer needs to ask, am I committing
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:55
			any injustices towards my employees?
		
00:22:55 --> 00:22:58
			The employee needs to ask themselves, am I
		
00:22:58 --> 00:23:01
			committing any injustices towards my employer?
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:04
			The leader needs to ask themselves, are they
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:05
			oppressing anyone?
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:08
			Are they suppressing and oppressing their subordinates?
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:10
			And those who are under their authority?
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:12
			And the followers need to ask themselves that,
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:14
			are they oppressing and committing any kind of
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:15
			injustice towards their own leaders?
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:19
			Brothers and sisters, you and I many times,
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:22
			we look at all these injustices, and we
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:25
			have so many things to say, not realizing
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:28
			that today within our own community, wallahi I
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:32
			get calls every single day, every single day,
		
00:23:33 --> 00:23:35
			injustices that are taking place in families.
		
00:23:37 --> 00:23:39
			We wanna talk about all these people, but
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:41
			they are people who don't even believe in
		
00:23:41 --> 00:23:41
			Allah.
		
00:23:41 --> 00:23:43
			You and I, we believe in Allah, yet
		
00:23:43 --> 00:23:47
			we are committing injustices against each other, within
		
00:23:47 --> 00:23:50
			our families, within our own community members, and
		
00:23:50 --> 00:23:52
			that we have forgotten about Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:23:52 --> 00:23:52
			ta'ala.
		
00:23:53 --> 00:23:55
			When it comes to others committing an injustice,
		
00:23:55 --> 00:23:57
			we throw the Qur'an against them, we
		
00:23:57 --> 00:23:59
			use the Qur'an against them, we will
		
00:23:59 --> 00:24:01
			share all the hadith, all the Qur'anic
		
00:24:01 --> 00:24:03
			verses, but when it comes to our own
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:07
			personal matters, we tend to forget that the
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:10
			Qur'an also applies to myself, the hadith
		
00:24:10 --> 00:24:12
			apply to myself also.
		
00:24:12 --> 00:24:15
			Brothers and sisters, today when you commit an
		
00:24:15 --> 00:24:19
			injustice, not just today, anytime you commit an
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:22
			injustice against each other, against your family, against
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:25
			your husband, against your wife and so forth,
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:26
			and I don't wanna go into the details,
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:29
			but wallahi there are so many injustices that
		
00:24:29 --> 00:24:31
			are taking place, and at times it makes
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:34
			my blood boil, it makes me so angry
		
00:24:34 --> 00:24:35
			and so upset.
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:38
			But at the same time as Allah subhanahu
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:41
			wa ta'ala says, that, لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:44
			بِمَا نَسُوا يَوْمُ الْحِسَابِ That there is a
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:46
			situation where people they will forget, that they
		
00:24:46 --> 00:24:48
			have to stand before Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:24:48 --> 00:24:50
			'ala on the day of judgment.
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:52
			So brothers and sisters, the most important thing
		
00:24:52 --> 00:24:54
			that you and I, we need to understand
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:56
			from point number four is, that while we
		
00:24:56 --> 00:24:59
			wanna complain about other people, doing injustices towards
		
00:24:59 --> 00:25:01
			others, this is also a moment that we
		
00:25:01 --> 00:25:03
			need to look at ourselves, and ask ourselves,
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:06
			are we doing an injustice against anyone in
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:07
			our own life?
		
00:25:07 --> 00:25:09
			Am I not fulfilling the rights of anyone?
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:10
			That is the question we need to ask
		
00:25:10 --> 00:25:11
			ourselves.
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:14
			The last point is, that when it comes
		
00:25:14 --> 00:25:16
			to these kind of situations, brothers and sisters,
		
00:25:18 --> 00:25:19
			when it comes to these kind of situations,
		
00:25:19 --> 00:25:21
			brothers and sisters, what can we do?
		
00:25:22 --> 00:25:25
			We've always heard, that in these times, especially
		
00:25:25 --> 00:25:28
			living in this country, there is only limited
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:29
			things that we can do.
		
00:25:30 --> 00:25:31
			And I get it, there are a lot
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:32
			of people who have come to me, and
		
00:25:32 --> 00:25:35
			they have said, that living in this country,
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:37
			just dealing with all the corruption that is
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:41
			taking place, is putting an immense amount of
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:43
			psychological and emotional burden on them.
		
00:25:44 --> 00:25:46
			Wallahi, I will tell you, you're not alone.
		
00:25:47 --> 00:25:49
			All of us are feeling that way in
		
00:25:49 --> 00:25:50
			a certain capacity.
		
00:25:50 --> 00:25:52
			How many people I've talked to, they say
		
00:25:52 --> 00:25:54
			that they cannot, for the last one year,
		
00:25:54 --> 00:25:56
			they just cannot sit with any kind of
		
00:25:56 --> 00:25:56
			peace.
		
00:25:56 --> 00:25:58
			They cannot find any kind of happiness in
		
00:25:58 --> 00:26:01
			their lives, simply because of looking at what
		
00:26:01 --> 00:26:03
			is going on, not only in Palestine, but
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:03
			all over the world.
		
00:26:04 --> 00:26:06
			Wallahi, you open up social media, and your
		
00:26:06 --> 00:26:07
			heart will bleed.
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:08
			Wallahi.
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:11
			But brothers and sisters, what can we do
		
00:26:11 --> 00:26:12
			in these kind of situations?
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:13
			Few things that we can do.
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:17
			The hadith of the Prophet ﷺ makes it
		
00:26:17 --> 00:26:18
			very clear.
		
00:26:18 --> 00:26:22
			مَنْ رَأَى مِنْكُمْ مُنْكَرًا فَلْيُغَيِّرْهُ بِيَدِهِ You try
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:23
			to stop it physically.
		
00:26:23 --> 00:26:26
			If you cannot do that, فَإِلَّمْ يَسْتَطِعْ فَبِالْإِسَانِ
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:28
			If you cannot do that, use your own
		
00:26:28 --> 00:26:28
			words.
		
00:26:28 --> 00:26:32
			Today, posting something on social media, making people
		
00:26:32 --> 00:26:34
			aware of the injustices that are taking place,
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:36
			that is you using your words.
		
00:26:36 --> 00:26:38
			That is you using your words.
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:41
			And if a person cannot even do that,
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:43
			then at least think it an evil in
		
00:26:43 --> 00:26:43
			their heart.
		
00:26:43 --> 00:26:46
			And if there comes a situation, where your
		
00:26:46 --> 00:26:49
			heart is completely oblivious of everything that is
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:51
			going on, and you don't care, that is
		
00:26:51 --> 00:26:54
			when the Prophet ﷺ says, وَذَلِكَ أَضْعَفُ الْإِيمَانِ
		
00:26:54 --> 00:26:58
			That your iman is at a very low
		
00:26:58 --> 00:26:58
			level.
		
00:26:59 --> 00:27:01
			So brothers and sisters, we need to speak
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:01
			up.
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:03
			We need to make, we gotta do everything
		
00:27:03 --> 00:27:05
			within our own capacity.
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:07
			We need to share on social media, whatever
		
00:27:07 --> 00:27:09
			it is financially also.
		
00:27:09 --> 00:27:11
			There's things I cannot say on the minbar,
		
00:27:11 --> 00:27:12
			but you understand.
		
00:27:12 --> 00:27:14
			When I say financially, where to spend your
		
00:27:14 --> 00:27:17
			money and so forth, why are we not
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:18
			doing the same things that we were doing
		
00:27:18 --> 00:27:19
			before?
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:22
			Why have we become relaxed in our affairs?
		
00:27:23 --> 00:27:25
			Brothers and sisters, whatever we were doing on
		
00:27:25 --> 00:27:27
			the very first day, the first week, the
		
00:27:27 --> 00:27:30
			first month, when the onslaught happened against our
		
00:27:30 --> 00:27:32
			brothers and sisters in Gaza, how we were
		
00:27:32 --> 00:27:33
			behaving in that time, we need to go
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:34
			back to the same exact way.
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:36
			Why have we become relaxed?
		
00:27:36 --> 00:27:37
			Has the onslaught finished?
		
00:27:38 --> 00:27:39
			Has the genocide come to an end?
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:40
			Absolutely not.
		
00:27:40 --> 00:27:42
			But you and I, once again, we become
		
00:27:42 --> 00:27:44
			relaxed in our situation.
		
00:27:44 --> 00:27:45
			Oh, it's not happening over here.
		
00:27:46 --> 00:27:46
			We are relaxed.
		
00:27:47 --> 00:27:49
			No, brothers and sisters, wallahi, we need to
		
00:27:49 --> 00:27:51
			always remember our brothers and sisters in Gaza.
		
00:27:51 --> 00:27:52
			So keep that in mind.
		
00:27:53 --> 00:27:54
			We always will speak up over here.
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:56
			We always will speak up for justice.
		
00:27:57 --> 00:27:58
			And not only that, but even if we
		
00:27:58 --> 00:28:01
			go anywhere, no matter what our surrounding is,
		
00:28:01 --> 00:28:04
			we need to always remind everyone, right is
		
00:28:04 --> 00:28:05
			right and wrong is wrong.
		
00:28:05 --> 00:28:07
			Today we live in a world where the
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:09
			wrong is trying to be declared as right,
		
00:28:09 --> 00:28:11
			and the right is trying to be deemed
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:12
			as wrong.
		
00:28:12 --> 00:28:14
			And brothers and sisters, they're trying to change
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:16
			the standard, the principles of life.
		
00:28:17 --> 00:28:19
			And we need to remind ourselves, we will
		
00:28:19 --> 00:28:20
			not change our principles.
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:23
			When Allah and His Prophet ﷺ says, something
		
00:28:23 --> 00:28:25
			is right, and we need to stand up
		
00:28:25 --> 00:28:27
			for it, we will stand up for it.
		
00:28:27 --> 00:28:28
			And if Allah and His Prophet ﷺ says
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:30
			that something is wrong, then it will be
		
00:28:30 --> 00:28:31
			wrong forever.
		
00:28:31 --> 00:28:34
			No matter what anyone says, it is gonna
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:35
			be wrong forever.
		
00:28:35 --> 00:28:37
			So these are the things that we need
		
00:28:37 --> 00:28:37
			to keep in mind.
		
00:28:38 --> 00:28:39
			And we need to also finally, we need
		
00:28:39 --> 00:28:40
			to teach our kids.
		
00:28:40 --> 00:28:43
			Our kids are growing up in such difficult
		
00:28:43 --> 00:28:43
			times.
		
00:28:44 --> 00:28:46
			They are seeing things today, that you and
		
00:28:46 --> 00:28:48
			I as adults, when we were growing up
		
00:28:48 --> 00:28:50
			as children, we would not see them.
		
00:28:51 --> 00:28:52
			But they are witnessing this.
		
00:28:52 --> 00:28:53
			They have many questions.
		
00:28:54 --> 00:28:56
			Always teach your kids, what is right is
		
00:28:56 --> 00:28:56
			right.
		
00:28:56 --> 00:28:58
			And it will remain forever right.
		
00:28:58 --> 00:29:00
			And whatever is wrong is gonna be wrong
		
00:29:00 --> 00:29:02
			today, and forever it will be wrong.
		
00:29:02 --> 00:29:04
			These are key values that we need to
		
00:29:04 --> 00:29:04
			teach our kids.
		
00:29:05 --> 00:29:06
			And we need to teach them to always
		
00:29:06 --> 00:29:07
			stand up for what is right.
		
00:29:07 --> 00:29:09
			We ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala through
		
00:29:09 --> 00:29:11
			His infinite rahmah and mercy.
		
00:29:12 --> 00:29:14
			We ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to
		
00:29:14 --> 00:29:15
			make our affairs easy for us.
		
00:29:15 --> 00:29:17
			We ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala that
		
00:29:17 --> 00:29:20
			every single person who is oppressed, in any
		
00:29:20 --> 00:29:22
			way, may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala aid
		
00:29:22 --> 00:29:22
			them.
		
00:29:22 --> 00:29:24
			May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala send them
		
00:29:24 --> 00:29:25
			His nusrah.
		
00:29:25 --> 00:29:27
			And we ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:29:27 --> 00:29:29
			that all those who have passed away, may
		
00:29:29 --> 00:29:30
			Allah give them a place in Jannah.
		
00:29:30 --> 00:29:32
			And we ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:29:32 --> 00:29:34
			that during these times, while shaitan will come
		
00:29:34 --> 00:29:36
			and try to distract us, and make our
		
00:29:36 --> 00:29:39
			iman weak, we ask Allah to keep our
		
00:29:39 --> 00:29:40
			iman strong.
		
00:29:40 --> 00:29:41
			And may He give us death and take
		
00:29:41 --> 00:29:44
			us from this dunya while we are in
		
00:29:44 --> 00:29:46
			the state of strong faith and strong iman.
		
00:29:46 --> 00:29:49
			بارك الله لنا ولكم في قرآن عظيم ونفعنا
		
00:29:49 --> 00:29:53
			وإياكم بات وذكر حكيم أستغفر الله لي ولكم
		
00:29:53 --> 00:30:03
			ورسائل المسلمين فاستغفروا إنه هو الغفور الرحيم بسم
		
00:30:03 --> 00:30:06
			الله الرحمن الرحيم ونلحمه ونحمده ونستعينه ونستغفره ونعوذ
		
00:30:06 --> 00:30:10
			بالله من شرور أنفسنا ومن سيئات أعمالنا من
		
00:30:10 --> 00:30:12
			يهديه الله فلا مظل له ومن يضل فلا
		
00:30:12 --> 00:30:14
			هادي له ونشده أن لا إله إلا الله
		
00:30:14 --> 00:30:16
			وحده لا شريك له ونشده أن محمدًا عبده
		
00:30:16 --> 00:30:19
			ورسوله أما بعد Lastly, I'm going to say
		
00:30:19 --> 00:30:22
			that when it comes to these situations always
		
00:30:22 --> 00:30:24
			make du'a to Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:30:24 --> 00:30:26
			'ala There are many du'as but one
		
00:30:26 --> 00:30:28
			du'a that we can recite I've mentioned
		
00:30:28 --> 00:30:31
			this before لا إله إلا أنت سبحانك إني
		
00:30:31 --> 00:30:34
			كنت من الظالمين Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:30:34 --> 00:30:37
			saved Yunus a.s. And He says that
		
00:30:37 --> 00:30:40
			وكذلك ننجي المؤمنين Likewise, He will save the
		
00:30:40 --> 00:30:42
			believers So in these kind of difficult times
		
00:30:42 --> 00:30:44
			make du'a to Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:30:44 --> 00:30:46
			'ala Any du'a of maghfirah, rahmah, mercy
		
00:30:46 --> 00:30:48
			that you know, recite all of them May
		
00:30:48 --> 00:30:50
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala make all of
		
00:30:50 --> 00:30:51
			our affairs easy for us And may Allah
		
00:30:51 --> 00:30:53
			subhanahu wa ta'ala aid our brothers and
		
00:30:53 --> 00:30:56
			sisters in Gaza, in Lebanon, in India, in
		
00:30:56 --> 00:30:57
			France or wherever they may be May Allah
		
00:30:57 --> 00:30:59
			subhanahu wa ta'ala aid them and may
		
00:30:59 --> 00:31:03
			Rabbul Alameen اللهم انصر إسلام والمسلمين اللهم انصر
		
00:31:03 --> 00:31:06
			إسلام والمسلمين في كل مكان اللهم انصرنا على
		
00:31:06 --> 00:31:11
			من خالفنا واحفظ بلادنا وأصلح أولادنا واشف مرضانا
		
00:31:11 --> 00:31:15
			وعاف مبتلانا وارحم موتانا واخذ يدينا إلى كل
