Omar Suleiman – Al-Aqsa – Indian Muslims – Ramadan Silence

			The prophets and messengers that came before him, his family and companions that served alongside
him. And those that follow in his lesson path until the Day of Judgment, we ask Allah to make us
amongst them Allahumma I mean, the brothers and sisters, I wanted to give an entirely different
hotspot today. But last night, as I watched the scenes of a photo journalist in front of Muslim OXA,
literally hold his camera until occupation forces broke his arm. And old men pushed down the stairs,
and elderly women and children, brave stun grenades and bullets, to pray in the first qibla of Islam
and muzzle officer.
		

			I wanted to speak about this in a different way.
		

			And I'm always afraid of these hotspots, because the point of this is not just to politically get us
engaged once again.
		

			And I myself, as all of us are, to an extent, are guilty at times of being selective with what
causes we choose to amplify of not giving due proportion. So I want to acknowledge that from the
very beginning. But I was thinking about Ramadan. And when we're talking about Ramadan, in
particular, and there are several dimensions to this number one, that if it is true that our
oppressors become more belligerent in Ramadan,
		

			which we know is true at this point, then it's only right that our voices only become louder in
Ramadan, not silenced, because we want to focus on our Ibadah because we want to focus on just the
spiritual upliftment and the test Skia and the beauty of being able to be in the masjid, once again,
guess what they wanted to be in the masjid once again, too. They also were hoping for Ramadan and
peace. They also were hoping for Ramadan to not be harassed.
		

			Your brothers and sisters who do not have the luxury that you have right now, we're looking for the
exact same thing that you're looking for, except they were holding it down in places that are more
sacred than this one. And so that's the first element of this, which is
		

			when they are more belligerent, we have to become louder in our condemnation and our opposition to
their oppression. That's number one. The second thing to this is what kind of heedlessness would it
be to literally come across the part of the Quran of suited Islam at the same time as what's
happening in Aqsa
		

			and not make any connection
		

			to the land in which the followers of the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam are being put
under boots and subjected to bullets and humiliation. While we read about how ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada
honored our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam and raised him to the heavens from that spot, what
would what would that say about our reading of the Quran? And how disconnected we actually are in
reality from our daily reading of the Quran. And subhanAllah was just thinking about the sequence
even that we get to certain Israa you have a scene of a prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam and all
of the prophets praying together in one place. Musa alayhis salam or ISA and he has Salam. Ibrahim
		

			alayhis salam. Yunus Ali has set up new Ohana history. I mean, the list goes on all of the prophets
in one place, praying there. And then you go from sort of calf to sorted Israa where you have Musa
alayhis salam who is traveling around the world, after he cannot enter into ancoats at the
instruction of Allah subhanaw taala with Al hada Ali his Salam, and learning that not everything has
to make sense to me right now.
		

			While he is forbidden from entering into that place, and then the next Surah Surah Maryam, you have
a single mother Maria Maria has set out the true definition of a single mother, a mother who
miraculously conceived a baby reciting Saddam Jesus peace be upon him, carrying him with confidence,
full confidence in the courtyard of Masjid OXA and Allah subhanho wa taala, giving her inspiration
and support from above the heavens. All three of these sources give us a different dimension of the
same place that we're seeing right now. But it's not just muscle OXA
		

			it is also our brothers and sisters in India.
		

			And I was watching those scenes and Subhanallah it struck me that as our brothers and sisters in
India are entering into their messages for salata, tyrolia
		

			there are parties and riots and the same types of bigoted sentiments that you see in front of the
Aqsa people holding sticks and guns and chanting out genocidal wishes and pelting the Muslims as
they go into their masjid and we're having a thought out
		

			lied,
		

			And subhanAllah This is not to do in cost of the Name of Allah to deny the blessing of Allah
subhanaw taala upon us, it's to actually make us think about the bigger picture of Ramadan, which is
how are you connecting your blessing to those that don't have it?
		

			Your brothers and sisters in India are on genocide alert, and it's very real. And subhanAllah we
were looking at the scene two years ago of COVID and Meza haram, the Sacred House and the empty
ketubah. No one around them. And I want us to be reflective because by the way being reflective is a
bad in and of itself. Consciousness is a bad Taqwa is consciousness, right? But it leads to
something greater than consciousness. But that's in and of itself. I was thinking,
		

			did that seem causes more grief,
		

			of an empty message haram because of a pandemic that the whole world was facing? Did that scene
causes more grief, then the scene of massive OXA and the windows literally being broken and bombs
and grenades, and harassment, and just complete disregard for any type of human rights or human
dignity and that sacred place? And I thought to myself, which scene is actually more problematic to
the Muslims heart, which seems should be more problematic? And by the way, I'm guilty. I'm guilty,
because when I saw the image of the Haram, I was grieved. Maybe more so than I was grieved by the
images of an ox. I hope that's not the case. But sometimes you don't know your own hearts, Pamela.
		

			And I had to ask myself, Is it because I was worried that I wouldn't get to do
		

			because I wouldn't get to do hedge? Is that why that gave me more grief, because it was so directly
relevant to my own experience. And it made me think about it. What I was seeing last night, what you
were seeing last night, what we see in Alexa, what we see in India. And then there's another element
to this the questions that were raised, is this the end of times? Is it younger piano? Is it a sign
of the End of Times? Why does it always have to be a sign of the End of Times?
		

			For it, to at least be recognized as pure evil wynncom Evil that we are supposed to say something
about? And yes, at this moment, Subhan Allah speaking in and of itself is a Bandha. And it's
actually a unique act of resistance that you have as American Muslims. It's stunning. Who would have
thought that we'd reach a time where even Muslim governments cannot express concern anymore, they
can easily condemn their brothers and sisters and normalize with their occupiers, but can't even
express concern anymore. Outright disregard. What a time we live in. What a time we live in, where
it's you, living in the comfort of your homes. It's me living in the comfort of my home, and the
		

			risks that we take by speaking out for our brothers and sisters, what social media accounts, your
job, that's a big deal. Your job is a big deal. I know some brothers and sisters have actually lost
their jobs over this stuff. You know, what? May Allah subhanaw taala compensate you with something
better in this dunya. And in the accurate, it's meaningful, I don't want to belittle it.
		

			But here's the thing, we bring it back to putting it at the forefront of our minds and our hearts
letting it occupy a considerable amount of our hearts. You know why? Because amplifying is a part of
that ibadah. Again, our our oppressors are belligerent.
		

			And so raising the cause of your brothers and sisters, is a bother it's an act of worship.
		

			The point is you don't stop at amplification. You let that amplifying lead you to sincere do
		

			and just as we're talking about the importance of do ask for forgiveness, and you're out for
upliftment, and you're out for all the things that we're gonna carry to Allah subhanaw taala and the
sacred nights especially as the last time come.
		

			If your tears dry up once you get to the part about your brothers and sisters
		

			indict your heart.
		

			So you know what, I need to connect myself more?
		

			Because if I'm not connected to that, how am I connected to Allah subhanaw taala May Allah subhanaw
taala forgive us for our shortcomings
		

			and make it easy for our brothers and sisters and OXA and in India and wherever it is the places
that we have not mentioned. May Allah subhanaw taala alleviate their pain, their trials may Allah
subhanho wa Taala allow us to be connected to them and connected to him through them. And may Allah
subhana wa Tada use us for their costs. May Allah subhanaw taala uplift the cause of the innocent
the oppressed our brothers and sisters all over the world. Yeah, Allah the ones that we see in the
ones that we don't see the ones that we mentioned and the ones that we don't mention. And may Allah
subhanaw taala allow us to pray and muscle OXA free, truly free, where the name of Allah subhanaw
		

			taala is raised and mentioned without the harassment of
		

			People have Allah. May Allah subhanaw taala continue to strengthen and give steadfastness to our
brothers and sisters that walk through hostility, to enter into His homes, in Philistine in India,
wherever it is May Allah subhanaw taala continue to grant them steadfastness. May Allah reward them
for their struggle. May Allah subhanaw taala protect them. May Allah subhanaw taala give them
victory. May Allah Subhana Allah Allah not let us ignore them, lest we be ignored by him Allah humma
