Barrett We begin by praising Allah subhana wa tada and bearing witness that no one has the right to
be worshipped or unconditionally obeyed except for him. And we bear witness that Muhammad sallallahu
		

			alayhi wasallam is his final messenger, we ask Allah to send his peace and blessings upon him. The
prophets and messengers that came before him, his family and companions that served alongside him
and those that follow in his busted path until the day of judgment. And we ask a lot to make us
amongst them Allah I mean, the brothers and sisters, we often talk about how we utilize the stories
in the Quran for our benefits, that Allah did not give us stories, especially of perseverance or of
persecution, of poverty or of power, except that we take lessons from them and they are timeless
lessons. One of the things that caught up to him Allah Allah mentions is that while the Sharia
		

			changes over time, from profits, a profit the various laws, we know that the creed stays the same,
that the oneness of Allah does not change the nature of prophethood does not change. And he says
something very interesting. He also says that the dynamics of a wallum and of mob loom of a
oppressor and the oppressed do not change the dynamics of how wealth can corrupt people or people
can become arrogance because of what Allah has bestowed upon them, or humbled because of what has
been withheld from them. None of that changes. So Subhan Allah the study of human history, when you
study arrogant nations, and oppressed nations, arrogant tyrants, and righteous people that rise up
		

			amongst the oppressed, people that see through the kingdom that has been given to them which are
very rare, this is a man it his Salaam, those that are like him, or whether you study the people who
have been wronged to a point that they make it a point to advocate for those that are being wrong,
like them, all of these are stories that are so timeless, that they can relate to us in every single
generation, which is why Allah subhanho wa Taala keeps them for us in the Quran, so that we can do
to dub wars so that we can contemplate over them. Now when it comes to the stories of the oppressed,
and the stories of how Allah gives victory to the oppressed, as the Muslims have now just settled in
		

			Medina,
		

			after 13 years of persecution, or after hosting the people that have been persecuted for over a
decade, they have yet to go into a battle with the people of Mecca, who have put their foots on
their necks for over a decade in Mecca, who have taken their wealth killed their family members,
humiliated them, spit on them in public, all of that without seeing Allah subhanaw taala doing
anything to those people in Mecca in their lifetimes just yet.
		

			And it is in that time period that Allah reveals to them the story of David and Goliath, the story
of Thor loot and Jr. loot. Quaaludes being saw john loot being Goliath it is in that time frame when
they have just moved to Medina not knowing that the Battle of bed is going to come upon them sooner
than they think. Because the Battle of bed that of course came out of circumstances that were not
planned for. And Allah subhana wa tada reveals and suit that buck Dada verse 246, onwards for a few
ayaats the story of the Buddha at his salon and a wicked generation of Bani Israel in that then went
through a filtering process, a filtration process because every nation goes through power and then
		

			becomes arrogance and then is humiliated. And then amongst the persecuted you have the righteous
that rise up and a righteous generation. And Benny is my Ian is no exception to that.
		

			They go between these two poles. And so Allah subhana wa tada gives to the Prophet slicin them and
the believers the story of a righteous generation of Benny Islam, he that arose out of a wicked
generation of Benny slogging through the filtration process of power and oppression. And it's very
powerful that that's being given to the Muslims because they will witness that transition in their
own lifetimes. Now Allah subhana wa tada will remind the believers in Medina
		

			After better, about better, once better takes place. The lesson that Allah gives them after the
lesson that Allah gives them after tabuk is not to recall an incident that they have never seen, but
to recall something that they have seen, when Allah gave them Nusra anthem Abdullah, while you were
small, while you were oppressed, Allah gave you victory Allah sent you angels because you were
righteous, your hearts were in the right place. your minds were in the right place. You were
connected in the right way. So Allah gave you victory. So Allah would remind them after better have
better multiple times in the Quran, and us by extension, but here they haven't yet faced budish and
		

			before I go to the story of David and Goliath, I want to make one thing very clear.
		

			as Muslims, we ascribe ourselves to the righteous on the basis of their righteousness and belief.
And we distance ourselves from the wicked on the basis of their wickedness. Meaning what, when we
read about the prophets of money is thrown in and the righteous of money, isn't it, we ascribe
ourselves to them. And when we read about the wicked, of any group of people, any nation, even if
that might be your lineage, or my lineage, we distance ourselves from them because we are bound by
faith and righteousness. And so we take pride in Buddha and his Salah, we take pride in the prophets
of Benny Islam and the rightness of Benny is slightly and distance ourselves from the wicked. And by
		

			the way, just to note, even though you read john lewis, Goliath is from the Philistines. There is no
connection to the Philistines who are not even Arabs to the modern day Philistine. Just as there is
no connection to those who ascribe themselves to Benny slightly from a lineage perspective to those
from Benny sly Eden the Quran, this is faith and wickedness and we ascribe ourselves to people of
faith and righteousness and distance ourselves from people of wickedness until the end and power.
Now, what is the law tell us lm tala Isla mela indeni Islam Elan and Verity Moosa it thought he

246. Allah says, Do you recall when a prophet after musante his Salah, who is this prophet,
according to the mill festival, this is Samuel Ali, his Salah, a prophet from Benny Islam.
		

			And they said to their prophets, send us a king that will fight for the sake of Allah, and we will
fight but behind him, then he had gone through a transition at this point where they had power, they
oppressed and now they were oppressed and powerless. And they still have profits amongst them, and
they still have some rights amongst them. And they say to their profits, sons, for us a king, ask
Allah to send us a king so that we can take back, we can reclaim our place of power and position in
this world. No, cartel feasibility said we will fight for the sake of Allah. But to Pamela, there's
a clue in this if there's a clue in this verse, When Samuel Salaam responds and says, How do I know
		

			that you're going to be sincere and that they did not respond with their love of Allah, they respond
with? What do we have to lose? We've already been driven out of our homes, we've already been
humiliated. And that's the wrong answer right away. Because the motivations should not be worldly.
So they just said no content, FISA be the law will fight in the way of God, but they're saying we've
been humiliated, we have nothing to lose anyway. We might as well give this a shot and we might as
well go forward. We are not people who turn to Allah only because we have nothing else to turn to.
We are people who turn to Allah when we have everything and when we have nothing because we realize
		

			that everything stems from God. Everything good comes from Allah subhana wa tada and so once Allah
Subhana tada sense a king amongst them,
		

			they turned away except for a few amongst them what caught
		

			in Allah America copilots America. The Prophet responded to them and said, Allah has chosen followed
a righteous man amongst you to be your kink. How did they respond? And they Economou carlina when I
knew I had to be working in home, while I'm used to certain minalima they said wait a minute by
aleut who is pollute, pollute is not a person of wealth or status. polluters is a person the
scholars mentioned from the tribe of Binyamin and he Salaam he was from the weaker tribes, the
lesser tribes. We you know, and they've been so accustomed to having new standards of wealth and
power that they said wait a minute, we want someone who's royal, someone who's Noble.
		

			To lead us, so why should he lead us when he's poor? They mentioned his poverty. Also a wrong
answer. What it allows us to kind of what's our response in the last author who's an econ wizard who
does potential enemy will just, Allah chose him amongst you and increased him in knowledge and
wisdom in his physical body in his physical strength. What is this talking about? in Allah mentions,
that knowledge is what gives a person superiority, especially or only if it manifests in taqwa?
impiety. And so this is praiseworthy knowledge, which manifested itself in piety. Duluth was a
righteous man, a knowledgeable man. And Allah gave him as Jisun which literally means by the way, he
		

			was the tallest man amongst them and the strongest man amongst them. Goliath, who was the oppressor
on the other side, Goliath was a huge man, and they said, pollut being the tallest amongst many
Israel, he would not come to the shoulder of dilute of Goliath. He's a monstrous human being a huge
man, powerful oppressor. So Allah Subhana, WA tada responds and says, he's been chosen for his
piety, his knowledge, as well as his physical strength, and you need to follow him Allah gives his
dominion to whom he wants, what did they respond with? Can you send us a sign, give us an iron.
Allah gives them a sign. Allah subhana wa tada gives them the taboos, which was basically a box that
		

			had some of the belongings of Musa alayhis salaam, and how wrong it is Salaam that the people used
to find blessing from Baraka from. And it was taken from them by their enemies as Benny slightly was
in a difficult situation at this point, Allah subhana wa tada brought it back from the enemies, and
the angels placed it right at their doorstep. That is a sign that Allah is the one who is going to
give you victory, or keep you in defeats. Follow your leader, follow that King. And so Talos goes
forward, and they follow followed. first test comes, they get to a river. And they are not allowed
to drink from that river, though they are very thirsty. Remember, we talked last week about the
		

			connection between summer and steadfastness, patience and fasting and courage holding yourself back?
They're very thirsty. And a test comes to them from Allah don't drink from the river right now. hold
yourself back. And what does that do? It expels the real ones from the fake ones. And so that 80,000
dwindles into 4000 graduates, 4000 men, and then through another period of testing, they become 313.
What does that number sound like? But I bustled the alone time I'm home, I said, the same number of
the people have better panela. So the righteous amongst them are always very few. They're always
khaleel. In every generation is Pamela, the righteous are Pauline. There are few. But through that
		

			few great things happen. And so far, Luke routes out all of the rest of them. Remember what I love
to tell the profit sites on about the hypocrites and taboos that claim to be Muslim, but they just
cause the moral, you know, they just brought a demoralizing effect to the Muslims, a loss of
hundreds and told the prophets lie some it's better that they don't go out with you. It's better to
have a small group of people that are dedicated to Allah that are righteous than to have people that
are back and forth and swinging between righteousness and falsehood. And so now pollut goes forward.
And he has the same number of the people of Bethel amongst him to take on this massive army
		

			amongst his soldiers, was that was it his Salah,
		

			and would it his Salam was not a huge person physically, he wasn't yet declared to be a prophet. He
was just one of the righteous men of Benny slightly
		

			and that would only his Salaam as followed calls out and says who's going to fight Janu? Sam says I
will do it.
		

			What does he have? He has a slingshot. He has a stone. So Pamela, if there is any image that comes
to your mind, think about that iconic image of fattest Buddha standing in front of a tank with his
stone, not fearing that tank in front of him that would only his Salam is not afraid of Goliath.
He's not afraid of giants. What can you do with that stone? What can you do with that slingshot?
Bismillah by the permission of alike and do a lot with it.
		

			And he comes forth to fight Janos and this was before the battle started just like every other
battle, you have the three that come out from each side or the one or the two.
		

			The duel that takes place before the battle that would only Salaam comes out and there will be only
his Salaam is victorious against john lute from the very beginning. Well let me borrow Zhu Li dilute
our God he called Robin f river Elena Saba along with a bit apadana one foreigner lm calm and
caffeine Allah says this righteous group of people as they came forth, what did they do? They may
do?
		

			They said, Oh Allah pour upon us patients, what type of patients are they talking about? Are they
talking about the patients with, you know, their desires? Are they talking about the patients with
hardship or are they talking about courage and steadfast and so I want you to connect to last week's
quote about the courage and steadfastness to continue but I've been afraid Elena Sabra poor upon us
we'll set up a domino, plant our feet firmly and grant us victory over a disbelieving army.
		

			And that would Ali Salaam, overcomes jackfruits has a moon Bismillah wa katalor the ooda loop. hula
hula will hit meta while alemayehu Minaya Sha, Allah subhanaw taala says they overcame that army by
the permission of Allah. And that would killed Goliath, David killed Goliath. And Allah gave that
with it. He said on all sorts of things, knowledge, wisdom. It was from this group of people, dear
brothers and sisters, that they're not actually saying was the most righteous generation of money,
isn't it? When the prophets lie Some said they had amongst them death on people that were spoken to
by the angels inspired towards good. It was from that small group of 313 that will daddy Salaam
		

			rose. These were the righteous ones that learned the lesson of a previous generation. And what did
Allah do for them? Allah subhana wa tada softened the Iren subject it's the mountains for them, gave
them all sorts of things that will daddy his Salah, someone that Allah love and someone Allah
elevated to and someone Allah subhana wa tada gave Prophethood to after that incidents. Almost every
lesson that can possibly be derived for a people that are subjected to humiliation and oppression
can be taken from these few ayaats and
		

			one of the things that is not read into this though, is the righteousness of the Buddha and his
Salaam, outside of any type of physical strength and battle. What is the profit slice and I'm praise
about the Buddha he
		

			did he praises slingshot skills that he praised the Buddha and his Salaam for the kingdom that he
would amass? Or did he say that the best car the best fast thing is the fast thing of David. That
would it he would fast one day and he would break his fast another day. The best dm the best night
prayer is the night prayer of that would it his Salaam, that last third of the nights. That was the
habit of that would it his salon to pray the last third of the nights that our Prophet salallahu
alayhi wasallam praised and prayed so that we also would praise and pray. That's what we take from
the prophets. That's what we take from them, that righteousness infuses victory in every single way
		

			possible that the smallness of means are growing by the great length of 200 and dedication and pm
and siyam. And that that is a timeless lesson. And then the impact of that is more than just a loss
of power inside of getting you out of your oppression. But a loss of Hannah, what's Allah making you
firmly planted in the earth There is also another thing that we take from this, that every
generation is either its own worst enemy,
		

			or its own ability, by the grace of Allah subhanaw taala to rise. You cannot discount the hypocrisy,
the corruption, the oppression, the things that led to the humiliation of a generation before the
elevation of a generation. And every time Allah tells us the stories, Allah tells us to look within.
Look within every single one of us is a part of the equation. What role do I play in my prayer in my
going forth for the sake of Allah subhanho wa Taala May Allah subhana wa tada grant us that
righteousness and that power through righteousness, not one that is sought for the sake of this
world but that is sought for the elevation in the hereafter may last anti grant us the companionship
