Nadim Bashir – Signs of the Hour #3

			Bismillah Hanohano hamdulillah hillbrow demean was there was someone that also leave Mohammed while
early was a homeodomain was set up with the same money cathedral cathedral my boss Ohana Karima
Ilana alumna in the ghetto Hakeem will be shortly so they were surly Emery, one of them Lissoni of
Concordia, my bad. So we're talking about the signs of the Day of Judgment, the minor signs of the
Day of Judgment. The signs in particular that we are witnessing today that have been told to us by
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam 1400 years ago, and we were talking about ignorance and how
ignorance will prevail in society. And we also talked about and I cannot finish on this topic, about
		

			how people there will come a time, where instead of referring religious matters to all AMA and
scholars, people will take it upon themselves, and they might try to even give Fatah's without even
having proper, proper background in Islamic sciences. This happened or the time of the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam the Prophet, Allah Islam, he made this, He began to teach us a habit of
the Allah on home. And he used this as an opportunity to teach them a very strong lesson. What
happened was that there was some Sahaba, who went on this journey without us law so long while he
was sending them. In the middle of this journey, there was one sahabi, who witnessed a *.
		

			And he thought that I of course, we all know that when a person witnesses a *, then
Islamically he has to take a whistle in order to purify themselves. So he but at the same time, he
has suffered an injury on his head. So he went to some of the Sahaba and he asked them, and one of
the Sahaba said that no, even in this situation, no matter what the situation is, you should go and
you should take a shower. So he never consulted with many. He came to him this hobby gave him this
fatwa. He went he took a shower, and when water came in contact with that injury on his head, he
eventually died. When the group of people they came when the Sahaba they came back to Medina, they
		

			would always come back to Medina and the very first thing they would do is they would inform us
allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and tell him or ask him any questions that may have arise during
that journey. And the when the Prophet Allah you get some he was informed about this. He was
extremely upset. And then he says that in the MA she felt when I assume URL, that the cure of
ignorance is asking questions mean that if you don't know something, instead of going online
yourself, the best thing is to go and reach out to to a scholar to person who has studied and asked
them and they will inform you and they will educate you better. Another sign of another sign of the
		

			day of judgment that the Prophet SAW Allah YT and send them has informed us about is it found in the
Hadith Narrated by Abu mama or the ultra on whom the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said and
this has mentioned in most of the Akhmad, that the at the end of time, they will be men with whips
like the tail of cattle, they will go out in the morning under the Wrath of Allah and we'll come
back in the evening under the Wrath of Allah subhanho wa Taala now
		

			this is something that the orlimar have talked about that there will come a time there will come a
time in the uses Hadith to explain that there will come a time when people there was some there'll
be so much injustice is taking place. Now watch listen, listen to this very
		

			carefully because what I'm about to share with you is will lie something that we see happening
today.
		

			What the Anima are saying is what this hadith means that there will be so much injustice is taking
place, that there will be certain men who are appointed to protect and serve as a just person. And
not only that, but to to maintain security. And it will be these same people who will use these
waves and they will oppress other people. Now, do we not see that happening today, in the United
States, people who are committed, who are supposed to serve and protect the society, not all of
them, but there are many of them, who have committed to serve and protect the society and the city.
But it is these same people who are oppressing others, these same people who are shooting other
		

			innocent civilians. And this is something that we see happening today in our society, and
Subhanallah Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he told us about this 1400 years ago, and we ask
Allah subhanaw taala, to protect us from that kind of evil in that that kind of shot. And we asked
Allah Subhan to protect us from being a victim of that type of oppression. Unfortunately, we see
that happening in our society all the time. And on a sidenote, one thing I do want to say is this.
		

			The police, the police brutality, that has increased in the last I will say, a year and a half or
two years, a year and a half, probably two years. This is something that it becomes the
responsibility of our all of ours, to fight this injustice. When there is an innocent civilian.
Okay, when there's an innocent civilian, we see what happens today. They come at times they will go
and we see this happening on social media, where an African American man, completely innocent or
African American woman completely innocent, and how they become the victims of police brutality. And
what happens is the on the other hand, you have a man who will have a man who went into a church and
		

			shot so many people, and then what happens after that they come they handcuff him from the front,
and they take him in a way in an honorable way. This is an injustice first of all. Number two is
that within all the Muslim communities where we need to understand where where our responsibility
comes into the picture, is when people stand up, and they verbally fight this injustice. That as a
Muslim community, what we learn from hateful falloon, the, the, the hateful Fulani incident that
happened during the time of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, where he stood up for a man who
was from Yemen, who was in Mecca who was treated in an unjust way. The Prophet alayhi salam stood up
		

			for him. And this was before prophet hood was she does us a very important lesson that no matter the
man is a Muslim, the man is not a Muslim, the person Muslim or not Muslim, when there is social
injustice taking place, it becomes a responsibility of a human being is not that you have to be even
a Muslim. But if you are a human being, you need to stand up for that injustice, you ever stand up
against that injustice. And so when you see this kind of things happening, or when you see people
verbally expressing themselves, or when there's a situation when people are gathered to fight these
injustices, it becomes our responsibility to join them. Unfortunately, brothers and sisters, we have
		

			come to a situation that we have put ourselves in a bubble, and we have disconnected ourselves from
society. And when the situation comes, and it's right in front of our door, then we want to fight
the situation. Why not fight the situation along with others, when you stand up for others, other
people will stand up along your side when you need their help. You remember the time this happened
right? In the very beginning, when the first Muslim ban came out, you're the first Muslim ban came
out. There were so many people who were
		

			who were kept who were not there, we're not being permitted to exit at the airport DFW airport, not
only DFW airport, and LaGuardia airport, there's so many airports around the nation where they were
holding Muslims. And how many people showed up? How many people showed up? There were Muslims. And
there were non Muslims that showed up to I remember I was there at DFW airport. While there was so
much chanting that was taking place. There was so many non Muslims showing their support. When non
Muslims are victims of abuse, it becomes our responsibility to stand up for them to when you and I
we don't stand up for them and we complain when the situation and the problem comes out comes and
		

			shows up at our doorstep. Then that teaches us that that that's a lesson and that teaches us that we
are truly selfish. We
		

			We are a selfish community. And a Muslim cannot be selfish. A Muslim is someone who cares for
others, he puts others before himself. So this is something that I want to mention when it comes to
this, these kinds of social and justices and how we need to stand up. Now the next thing the Prophet
sallallahu, it was something he mentioned, which is, which is the last of honesty. So behind our in
our times today, I believe that one of the greatest things that this Muslim Ummah has lost is
honesty. Today, we don't trust one another, we talk to one another. We are best friends with others,
we talk to each other. We all have a smile on our face, but there is deception in our hearts. And so
		

			the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he mentioned about this very clearly in a hadith. This is a
Hadith narrated by David with the Allah Tala. And he says, Look, I'm a father or a to a huduma.
Well, until the rule
		

			that he says I have seen one of them, but I'm waiting for the other one had that man. This is what
Dave was saying. And then he says Hi, Amanda. Mesonet fie. Jesy Kulu Billy John summoners Al Quran
Farley mill Qurani wha, wha wha Alamo Mirza Sana
		

			who narrates from the province of Salem. He says honesty was preserved in the roots of the man's
heart. Then the Quran was revealed and they learned it from the Quran and the Sunnah. Now the hadith
is not finished, listen to this carefully. So Maha death and I are offering Amana. So first he said
that Amana was established, people understood it, people were honest with one another, if there was
an Amana that was given to someone or if someone had an Amana, they will not be traded Amana. But
then there came a time where he says I need to sit down that worry about the time then is the Amana
disappears, he says a man will go to sleep and honestly honesty will be taken away from his heart
		

			and only is traced will remain then he will go to sleep again. And the remainder of that honesty
mean that the trace of the honesty that was left the first time that will also be taken away from
his heart, leaving a trace like a blister. And when an embryo touches your foot or raises a blister,
which has nothing inside, then he continues, then that the person he continues, he says then
		

			but he was mentioning Thumma Hassan, then he picked up a handful of pebbles, and he rolled them on
his leg and said people will engage in business
		

			people will engage in business with one another, but there will be hardly, but there will hardly be
any honest person among them. It will be then said that such and such a tribe that does exist, there
is a honest man over there. And then men. And so here, start list up here first. What are they
saying that a time will come there'll be so much dishonesty in society that there'll be only a
handful of people who have honesty in their dealings. And then we will say that yeah, there is that
one brother, or there is that one sister who is honest. Whereas during the time of the Prophet
sallallahu, alayhi wasallam, it was the complete opposite. You had majority of the community that
		

			was honest, and only a handful of people or those single individuals in society who were who are not
honest. But today that the tides have turned the situation has been has completely flipped, where
majority of the people in the community are dishonest. And now it is it is extremely difficult to
find that one honest man, that one honest man who will who will preserve your information or who
will preserve your trust. And then he says, there will be an A man will be admired mean that there
will be a man who will be admired for his strength, his good manners and his intelligence, but they
will not be listened very carefully. There will not be even a mustard seed of faith in his heart.
		

			Then Are they first says though there has come there was a time when I did not mind dealing with any
one of you. For if he was a Muslim, his religion would prevent him from cheating. Subhanallah I
mean, there was a time today are we Muslims? Yes, we are Muslims. Are there's so many Muslims around
the world. Yes, indeed. But unfortunately, because of our lack of faith, our deen is not strong
enough. Our faith is not strong enough that it would prevent us from committing a sin. The higher a
one's faith and one's Iman is because this has nothing to do with Islam here. This has to do with
your faith. The more higher faith you have, the more it will protect you from committing sins. The
		

			more of faith a person has, the more Taqwa he has, the more he will say away from cheating. Then he
says and if he was a Jew or a Christian, his Muslim ruler will prevent
		

			him from cheating. And buy he says, but today, I cannot deal in buying and selling except for with
so and so people mean are they saying, now I cannot, I cannot buy and sell with everyone now. But
there's only just a handful of people in the society that now I'm comfortable in going to them and
talking to them, because I trust them. And so Subhanallah when you see our society today, how much
dishonesty that takes place. And brothers and sisters, when we talk about Amana, Amanda does not
mean that if someone gives you in a manner, to put this in your trust and you take care of it, we're
not just talking about things in your possession, we're talking about even information, someone
		

			comes and shares some some important information with you some intimate knowledge, it is your
responsibility to maintain that and do not spread it to others. You don't spread that to others. On
the other hand, if we seen something, if we have seen something in the society, we see someone or we
see someone, someone's family member doing something right away, we want to go out and we want to
spread the news to everyone. We want to put on Twitter, on Facebook, on WhatsApp, we put it
everywhere. Oh, this is what I saw. This is what I saw. If you see something, if you see something
that is wrong, still, it's your responsibility to keep that to yourself. Honestly. Keep that to
		

			yourself. And I asked you this one question. What if we were on the other end? What if we were doing
something wrong? And someone saw us? Would we want anyone to go and spread that knowledge in the
society? Would we want anyone to go and inform others about the sins that we are committing? Or the
sins that someone in our family may have done or the wrongdoing someone in our family may have done?
Absolutely not. So when we see something when we know something, if it's important to share it with
someone, you share it with the right people to fix a situation, but do not share with other people
so that people can admire you people can can say say something good about you. You should never do
		

			it that way. Now, this is one aspect of honesty another aspect of honesty that the Prophet son he
talked about is the unambiguous Rhodiola Anhu called Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam say to
Allah NASCI, sinner whatton Hot the tone, there will come he says beware of the autonomous says of
the Prophet alayhi salam says they will come to the people years of treachery listens very
carefully, because this is what's happening exactly in our time today. He says when the liar will be
regarded as an honest person, and the honest person will be regarded as a liar, the traitor will be
regarded as a faithful person, and the faithful man will be regarded as a traitor Subhanallah we see
		

			this happening today in our time today. Then the Prophet I think somebody continued to say, and the
the rule be that a will decide the matters.
		

			The real way be law will decide matters is said who are the real way we law. He said despicable and
corrupt men who control the affairs of the people. This is something that prophets are some has told
us today, some holla when you look at a majority of our political leaders, this is what's happening
today. People today, you know, people who are honest people, people don't want to go and they don't
want to stand up on their side. But the people who are lying, they're lying through their face, open
lies, corruption, they are people are going and voting and people are standing by their side. And so
this is Subhan Allah We ask Allah Subhan Allah once again to protect us from the from these type of
		

			fitness, then the province has some you also mentioned that there will come a time when people
there's there are two sides that are mentioned in the Hadith. He says they will then they will come
after them people who will be who will give testimony when they're not even asked to do so. So
people will be so dishonest, so dishonest, that even when they're not even asked their testimony,
they will come and they will testify. And this is once again against our deen, they will be
dishonest, there will be trustworthy, untrustworthy, they will make vows and they will not fulfill
them mean that they will make a vow that I swear that I will testify the truth, but they are the
		

			liars. These are the ones who are causing that. That corruption and so Subhanallah once when we take
a step back, brothers and sisters, if you look at honesty, and dishonesty, when a person is
dishonest, you are creating an alternate reality, that's what you're doing. And when a person is
dishonest, then you have to at times you have to put on the hat of a person who is pricing the
truth. And sometimes you put on the hat of a person who's not seeing the truth and you're living in
two separate worlds. You're trying to please two different groups of people and your life becomes
even more complicated. To keep life simplistic. The best thing is to say the truth, to be honest in
		

			all your matters. And not only that, but when a person is honest, Allah Subhana Allah gives them a
reason why Allah Allah will give them a reason. Today in our society, we
		

			saying that the smart person we say this, are you? Are you street smart or not? And the definition
of street smart is that if you can fool people, you are street smart. Today we admire those people
who can fool others who can lie to others. And we pat it, we pat them on the back the mashallah this
man. He says, he's street smart. And then we tell our own children, you should learn from him, you
should learn from him know, when a person is dishonest, you stay away from that the Prophet SAW son
has made it very clear that saying the truth will save a person and a person who lies and he will he
will be destroyed. And we see this. Now the next thing I show it will stop on this is disrespecting
		

			parents. This is something that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has talked about in a great
in great amount of detail. First of all, in the hadith of Gibreel Alayhis Salam, where he says that
a slave woman will give birth to her master, what does that exactly mean? What that means is that
just like some automatic, they say that just like, there will come a time that the children, that
children would treat their parents, as if when you go back and you reflect upon the past, how
Masters would treat their slaves, how Masters would talk in an abusive way to the to the slaves,
they would mistreat their slaves, they would not give them their rights. Likewise, some Allah
		

			mentioned that this is exactly what will happen, the time will come the children will treat their
parents as if they are the masters, and they are the slaves. This is why, as someone that I
mentioned that this person said the slave woman will give birth to her master. So once again, there
can be so many different interpretations of this. But one thing I do want to mention is this.
		

			Whenever, you know, as I said earlier, that as a Muslim community, we become very selfish, we become
very selfish. So whenever there's a lecture, whenever there's a lecture about the rights of a
husband, every husband listens very carefully, he will turn on his phone, he will record it. And
then he will go home to his wife, and he will say, You know what, I heard something very great
today. Why don't you listen to this?
		

			Why don't you listen to this, and then they will listen to the entire lecture. If the wife hears a
lecture, where her rights are being talked about, and how the husband needs to fulfill her rights,
she will take it she was shared on WhatsApp, even the men may share on WhatsApp there was they will
spread it everywhere. When the parents hear a football or a lecture about respecting parents. It
gets spread everywhere. When and hardly I'd be honest with you hardly. There's a chutzpah where the
importance of the rights of the children I ever talked about, we never I have never in my life. I
have never in my life heard a hookah about the rights of children. Never in my life. How many times
		

			I've heard about parents. Yes, indeed, I've heard it so many times. And yes, indeed, they do deserve
the respect. But there's one thing I want to share with all of you, that is that when you look at
Rasulullah sallallahu, it was some this is why Subhan Allah, rasool Allah saw some was such an
amazing figure, such an amazing individual. Because whenever the Prophet SAW Selim was sit down, and
he would talk about the rights of the husband. In the same time, he would talk about the rights of
the wife. Whenever the person would talk about the rights of the parents, he will talk about the
rights of the children, the person will talk about the rights of your neighbors, because I want to
		

			talk about the rights of everyone else. And look at the life of the prophet saw Selim. Did he ever
think about this? Did he ever say to his own wives? Did he ever go to his own children and say, You
don't fulfill my rights? You don't do this? Do you know who I am? I am useless. I was. Never did you
do that. The province son has taught all of us a very important lesson of life. Yes. Do we have
rights? Yes, if I'm a father, I have rights. If I'm a brother, I have rights. If I'm a relative, I
have rights. If I am a neighbor, I have rights. If I am a son, I have rights. We have we have rights
on so many different levels. But what we learned from this lesson Salaam is that do not focus on
		

			your own rights. Focus on the rights of others. When you focus on the rights of others, others will
focus on your rights. Now I asked you imagine we were living in a world where we were just focused
and we were worried about fulfilling other people's rights. I guarantee you this dunya will be a
different place to live in. I guarantee you that everyone will be worried about the other person.
This is what we hear from the Sahaba or the alotta on home, in a battlefield in a battlefield. They
are thirsty, they want to drink water, what happens at the time of death right before they're dead,
they're injured, they're thirsty, but when once a hobby wants something, they give the water they
		

			give water to the others a hobby and they shared with one another they always put others before
themselves. Today, unfortunately, our Muslim Ummah has lost that our Muslim OMA has lost that and
because of that,
		

			Once again we have become selfish, we have become selfish. We always want to tell people that what
are our rights, but we never educate ourselves about what are the rights of others? How many of us
here as husbands, we know what are the rights of our wives, how many sisters over here know the
rights of your husband? How many children over here know the rights of your your parents, how many
parents will be here know the rights of your children, when we care about others, others will care
about us, when I become selfish, everyone around me will become selfish. Now, on the other hand, do
we need to show respect to our parents? Yes, indeed. And what's important to understand here too, is
		

			that one is disrespect. And one is disagreement. Disagreement does not necessarily mean that people
are disrespecting, if you know, you know, the the time Yes, in the Quran, the Quran mentions very
clearly, well, ethical Lahoma often,
		

			often, but unfortunately, many of us have translated or interpret that as that if the parent says
one thing that the child does not even have the right to even express his opinion. That's not who we
learn from the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam how many times a person had a conversation with
his own daughters, with his own children, and they will have a conversation back and forth. How many
times the person had a conversation with his own wives, back and forth in when it was fine. One is
disrespect, you can have a conversation, you can have a conversation. But when people begin to raise
their voices, when people begin to hurt one another, that is where Islam draws the line, that a
		

			child cannot disrespect their parents, you can disagree with your parents. But in a respectful way,
you can never show disrespect, you can never raise your voices in front of your parents, never once,
even whether you like it or not, you cannot raise your voices, you cannot talk to them in a rude
way. I see so many children, I've seen it here epic, parents are talking to their children. And the
end, the parent is talking to the child and the child is walking away. And the parent, I'm standing
over there, the parent sees it. And then later on, I grabbed that child, I grabbed that child and I
said the next time when someone is talking to you, you listen to them, you see you make eye contact,
		

			you talk to them, once the conversation is over, then you can part that in itself as a district. So
if our parents are talking to us, and we're walking away, that is a disrespect. If my parents are
talking to us, and we keep on cutting them off, and we say offensive things. That's a disrespect. So
once again the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he has mentioned this very clearly about, you
know how honestly we taken away how this how disrespect will increase. And then he also talks about
disrespecting parents and how this will increase and Subhanallah another form of disrespect to the
parents is that the the children officials Inshallah, that children will eventually give preference
		

			to their friends over their parents. They'll give preference to their friends over their parents,
they will take their friends to be more more more trustworthy than their own parents. And I have a I
have a one to one piece of message for all the youth over here and all the chilling over here that
remember one thing that no one is going to be more honest in your life than your parents. No one is
going to be more honest in your life and your parents. If you ever believe that there is some friend
in your life, that they are more important than your parents. And they're always going to have your
side. Let me make one thing very, very clear when it comes to this dunya when it comes to this dunya
		

			when it comes push to shove, every person will push away another person. When it comes to their own
matters. They will push you away in a heartbeat. Yes, as long as things are fine, things are happy
and dandy they will keep you close, but the minute it comes to push shove and it comes you versus
them, they will always give preference to themselves over you. If there is two people you want to
hold on to in your life. It is your parents and they will be the most honest people in your life.
And no matter what happens, they will always be on your side. They will never be treacherous to you.
They will always be honest to you and you should hold on to them more dearly and hold on to them
		

			more than you hold on to your own friends. So inshallah having said that we'll stop right here and
there are more of course there are many more signs of the Day of Judgment inshallah we will cover
this in the upcoming session Inshallah, I pray to Allah subhanho wa Taala that he gives us the
ability to act what's been sent heard. Just as a recap, we talked about disrespecting parents, we
talked about honesty, we talked about Amana. And we also talked about how when it comes to
knowledge, on letting the scholars take care of answering people's questions, and we also saw about
in justices that will take place May Allah Subhan give all this ability to her husband said and
		

			heard me Allah Subhan protect us. May Allah may Allah Subhan protect us and our families from ever
