Omar Suleiman – Is It All Our Fault – Ireland

			We begin by praising Allah subhanaw taala 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 wa Salam 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 blessed path until the day of judgment and we ask Allah to make us
amongst them Allahumma Amin, their brothers and sisters, when a person looks around at the state of
the Ummah today, specifically as it relates to our brothers and sisters and Philistine, our brothers
		

			and sisters in Gaza, may Allah subhana wa Tada alleviate their suffering and grant them victory
Allahumma Amin and when a person looks at the difficulties around the Ummah, and the seemingly
pathetic state that we are in where we feel like we have been granted circumstances that are beyond
us, leaders that we are either deserving of or not deserving of, but a situation in which a person
who is introspective will come back and ask themselves, am I responsible? Are these leaders are
these circumstances? Are these difficulties merely an extension or reflection of the state of our
ummah? Or is Allah subhanaw taala testing us? Is what is happening to our brothers and sisters
		

			related to my day to day? Or is it completely disconnected? Is the complaint that I have about those
who I feel like should be doing more but are not doing more who have leadership within our ummah?
Are those complaints really just extensions of my own disobedience? Are they reflections of me? Or
are they a test that Allah subhanaw taala has put upon us and it comes back to an idea from which we
have the general rule in which Allah subhanaw taala says in Allah, Allah you know might be common,
Hatha Yoga, you will not be unfussy him that Verily Allah subhanaw taala does not change the
condition of the people until they change the conditions of themselves. But what is within our
		

			power, and SubhanAllah? When you look at the Hadith of the prophets, Allah Allah Harney was salam.
In this regard, you will notice that whether the prophets of Allah Ani was Salam is talking about
the leadership of the soma, or he's talking about the circumstances of the people. It's never
entirely linear. Meaning it is not like we have righteous leadership, that parallels righteous
people that parallels right to circumstances all the times. In many of those situations, there's a
disruption that happens along the way. And in every single one of those situations, there is a
lesson that all of us can take. There's a famous statement that many people quote, as a Hadith of
		

			the Prophet sallallahu, and he was celibate it is not a Hadith of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wasallam many of you have heard it, many of you have maybe repeated cannot take Well, no, you will
not equal, as you are will be placed upon you. But this statement, which is a wisdom that has been
passed on between many generations, is not completely true to every single circumstance. Meaning it
is not always the case come out to a corner you wander and they come how you are will be placed upon
you. Partially there is some wisdom and some value and benefit to that statement for us to look back
at ourselves. But it's not always the case. For example, the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa
		

			sallam says call you to nurse the economy, the best of my generation or the best of my ummah.
Almighty, Wilfredo Nast, the best of people, is my generation sumela, Deena yo Luna, from Medina,
Luna home, and then those that come after them, and then those that come after them who we grew up
as one and we call a son of the pious predecessors. They are the best of all people, the first three
generations of Islam. And after those generations, there's a general decline. That happens in terms
of righteousness law. Yes. So we mean common anthem common covenant factory, McCartan. Hola, gamuda,
Raja Tamina, Latina, anthropol, Nymburk, the workout and what could not word allah Krishna. And even
		

			in Islam, those that came first before the conquest are not like those that came after. But everyone
has their promise from Allah. So generally every generation declines in righteousness, but there are
always these bright bright spots equally common in mateesah Bitcoin in every generation of myeloma,
there are these bright spots, there are four runners that Allah subhanaw taala chooses. But if you
think about general righteousness
		

			So, it is the Sahaba and then the tambourine, and then the tuber tambourine, those first three
generations of Assad. But still with that, as the moment potato Imola points out, Allah subhanaw
taala tested the likes of Anna signal Malik Radi Allahu taala. And an Imam Hassan Abbas Rahim Allah
without judging the use of a brutal tyrants. And some people asked Heston and bacillary, who's
looked at us, the greatest of the second generation of Islam, and if this is the second greatest
generation that ever walked the face of the earth, how is it that we have this tyrant that's been
placed upon us, then his response would be to look into the social ills that we have allowed to
		

			permeate amongst ourselves, and to increase in our dua to Allah subhanaw taala. Because whether this
is a tyrant that has been placed upon us, due to something that we have done or do to something that
Allah wants to bring out of us, the end result is the same, the output is the same a turning back to
Allah subhanaw taala and a holistic seeking of Islam of rectification of the self and of society and
leaving the rest of the corridor to Allah subhanho wa taala. So sometimes, when we talk about our
leaders, they are a reflection of us or we are a reflection of them. Sometimes the change comes from
top down. Sometimes it comes from bottom up. So Fianna 30 Rahim Allah said a very famous statement,
		

			call us and funny enough, there are two groups of people either solo Han Solo, Hatton, OMA, if these
two groups of people are righteous, then the ummah will be rectified what either Fussa first and
		

			then if they become corrupt, then the OMA will become corrupted as well. And we'll look we'll arena
the rulers and the scholars. So there's top down change. And indeed, if you have righteous leaders,
they can in fact change the culture of the people. They can instill a rectification in the people
that might have been missing. Salah Dean Allah you will be rocking Allah who will always quote and
we always wish for another version of him another manifestation of him in our own mind, may Allah
subhanaw taala bring about many reminders amongst us Allah Allah Ameen, Salah for Dean had to revive
consciousness in the OMA. It's not that he was handed a righteous Oma. He had to revive himself and
		

			he had to revive his ummah. And Allah subhanaw taala brought about great change on his hands and
before Him nor to name him Allah Who was his mentor as well. So as slug King, from top down, when
you look at the history of Islam, the early days of the Muslims, there is almost a bin Abdulaziz
Rahim Allah who assumes leadership of this ummah at the age of 38 years old, and like his
grandfather on top of the Allah honorable resuscitates and breeds justice into an ummah that has
been plagued with oppression. If you were to look at the line from Obamacare and Ramadan, or if not
an ally, and it has something go all the way down to normative and z's, there isn't a direct
		

			correlation to the homeless behavior. But Allah subhanaw taala blessed this OMA with a reviver that
came years later from Khilafat of Russia Diem to where he was included amongst them even though he
was not immediately after them. As Imam Shafi Rahim Allah said, he has like Rajo, the Mahabharata
month, the sacred month of Raja, to the rest of Astra haram to the rest of the sacred months, which
are three together. But Raja is separated in the year, but it is included amongst them likewise on
that have been added as he is separated from them in terms of his years, but he is included amongst
them. So sometimes Allah blesses an ummah that is sleeping with righteousness at the top that
		

			infuses righteousness through society that seeks to wake it up, revive its consciousness and brings
about beauty throughout. That happens sometimes, but sometimes it's the opposite. Sometimes, indeed
come out to who you are, as you are, will be placed upon you. Sometimes the culture of the people
shapes what is at the top and shapes their circumstances. And subhanAllah There's a famous narration
of our little the Allahu Taala anvil, where he was asked, you know, how come you're not like a
Wilbekin and all not all the Allahu Anhu man in terms of raising the people and he said, Abu Bakr
and Omar had men like me, I have men like you until Malakut number one Rahim Allah was asked
		

			something very similar. And he joined the people he brought the people together Gemma Innes, what
call alone in a country doing Amina an economy flabby Birkin and Mama said, I'm the Khalifa
		

			And he gathered the people and he said you want from us to be like Abubaker and Alma, may Allah be
pleased with them. He says Kunal Entomb, mystery jelly, have you gotten warmer, but you should be
like the man of edible bucket and aroma, and then you will see the change that you're seeking. So it
goes both ways. It's not just from top bottom. It's also bottom up culture produces certain leaders.
Mentorship produces leaders, communities like this one, massage it here in Ireland or in the United
States or wherever, wherever it is, produce the next generations of Salahuddin produce the righteous
leaders that then take the mantle, and they leave this ummah to where it needs to go. But we can't
		

			simply keep waiting for someone to come up there. The Salahuddin syndrome or the malady syndrome,
everything will be okay when he comes. And we don't look inside ourselves either a lot to us, Allah
had Dean if you want to be Salahuddin, for komatsuna, I mean, then be a righteous, trustworthy
person in your own daily dealings. Don't be a person that deals in cheating and then complains about
the leaders of the Ummah because Allah knows that many of those that complain about the leaders of
the Muslims would be just as corrupt as them if they were in that situation. Because sometimes they
reflect the culture. If you look at the Hadith of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in the
		

			hadith of Elohim, or the Allah Tala, where the prophets of Allah who it was the man was speaking,
and a man came, a Bedouin came and said, Metis
		

			when is the hour, and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam did not answer him immediately. Then
the prophets I saw him said ANSI you don't understand? Where is the one who asked me about the hour.
And when he came forth, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam mentioned Ew, Amana when trust is
lost and tabula rasa, then wait for the day of judgment to come wait for the hour to come. And the
Bedouin ask the right question. K for a Lara to hire Rasulillah. How does it get lost? How does
trust become lost amongst the people?
		

			The province lies some gives a component of this that seems to be outside of our circumstances, and
one that seems to be a conscious choice. The prophets lie some says in one narration of this very
simple, and you will Amrita Ali, when the affair of the Muslims is given to those who are
undeserving. When political leadership goes to corrupt people, and they transform righteousness into
wickedness. That's something that is usually beyond our control. Very few times in history, do
people actually get to choose their leaders? And even in the illusion of democracies? Usually
there's a component of compulsion that forces your leaders upon you very few times in history. Do
		

			people actually consciously choose their leaders? So when it goes to people that are undeserving?
When it goes to people that lose the amount of the Muslims that lose the amount of the believers,
but there's a conscious part? The profit side so I'm certainly tougher than NASA to send you Hala?
For so you know, for us, Toby lady and men for Vaalu what Allah Allah, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam said, when people take leaders amongst themselves, that are fools, and they are asked, and
they respond without knowledge, they are straight and they lead astray. You know how we take this
for ourselves? Dear Brothers and Sisters, you don't get to choose your political leaders, but you do
		

			get to choose your role models. You might not get to choose who governs over you, but you do choose
your trendsetters. You do choose who you follow, you do choose who you consume, you do choose your
leaders in every other sense of the word. And if the culture is producing the most rotten of
leaders, if our young people are looking up to the worst of people, than the problem is not and who
has been placed upon us the problem is who we are placing upon ourselves. There's a conscious part
of this too. And so yes, our leaders are a reflection of us. Yes, those that come above us are a
reflection of us. But also Dear brothers and sisters. There's the culture of justice. So do we
		

			choose our leaders? In some ways? Yes. Do we choose our circumstances? In some ways? Yes. Hello,
Teresa Hona, watan Sorona, Elizabeth Martha eco. In one narration, the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa
sallam said, Are you given support or victory except by how you treat your most vulnerable? Are you
given support and victory from Allah except by how you treat those who need help amongst you? Look
at yourself. How are you governing? How are you carrying out your affairs as a community and the
mama no we are Hema Hola. He said in terms of the well of the Muslims in terms of the circumstances
of the Muslims. He said if you look
		

			At the narrations of ASVAB and Nusrah, the reasons for victory, and you compare those two s Bab el
Azeema the reasons for defeat, you will find that every Hadith of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam where he mentions a southern a reason for victory. There's the opposite of a reason for
corruption, humiliation, and vice versa. It's actually a powerful way to read the Quran, and a
powerful way to read the Sunnah. If Allah tells you that something bears righteousness in your life,
then the opposite naturally bears wickedness. And if Allah tells you that something bears wickedness
in your life, then the opposite, obviously bears righteousness. So for example, were the prophets
		

			Allah Allah Azza wa sallam said, * tours upon our to Salah in La vida come are you given victory
or support except by how you treat your most vulnerable? There's also the narration of evenness
through the will the Allahu Taala and in Allahu Allah you can't do so much Allah your life if he him
hubco Allah will not honor an ummah that does not take justice for the weak amongst them.
		

			One of the reasons for Azeema one of the reasons for defeat and humiliation, Allah will not honor an
ummah that does not stand up for the oppressed amongst that does not stand up for the weak amongst
them. And so you want muscle are you involved in and nostra you want Allah to give you victory? In
your circumstance? Are you a reason for someone else's victory? You want Allah to honor you? Do you
honor the week amongst you? Do you honor the accussed amongst you Kela Bella to Cremona Leah team
right then Allah subhanaw taala mentioned this about the disbelievers. You want to be honored but
you don't honor the orphan amongst you. You want Allah to honor you, but do you honor those who
		

			Allah subhanaw taala has placed in your care. And so our leaders are a product of us. Our
circumstances are a product of us in many ways. But with all of that being said,
		

			when a blow combust Cherie, while highly fitna,
		

			when a blow condition, we will highly Pfitzner we test you with evil and we test the with good.
Sometimes Subhanallah the most righteous people are tested with the most evil of tyrants. And
sometimes the most wicked of people are given the most comfortable circumstances. It goes back to
what is emanating from you.
		

			What is your contribution to this environment? What are you putting back into it? Look at these two
ayaats and Allah and how they speak to two different realities. Allah azza wa jal says hello pura
and we will tackle less attack naturally in Bala katomina Sama, he will work in Kedah boo now on
Bhima can we actually born Allah subhanaw taala is that if the people of the town would have only
believed and when God conscious they would have feared Allah subhanaw taala and honored the
covenant, Allah would have opened the blessings of the skies the heavens and the earth for them. But
instead they denied and so they were taken as a result of that which they used to do. Philosophy
		

			hundreds, Allah also says Furlan Asuma Luquillo will be here in the very next Surah when they
forgot, between an animal Allah when they forgot the reminders that were sent to them for attack.
Now I lay him a while but quickly shake, we open for them all the doors of good had to either very
cold email or two until they found joy in that which was given to them, as has now been built for
either who will believe so we suddenly * them, and they found themselves in despair. So Allah
talks about punishing people with obvious punishment. And Allah also talks about punishing people by
giving them exactly what they want. Now blucon mission we will highly fitna that Allah azza wa jal
		

			utilizes both of these upon a wicked people to wake them up or to punish them. And Allah subhanaw
taala also utilizes for the believers that which brings out the best potential of their
righteousness for their time that produces the best benefit for them in regards to their
circumstances, but the rule still remains faithful to stop Pharaoh robber come in who can have a
Farah you receive this summer at Ecole Mirada Wyoming did the Combi and wild and whether any way
Angelica and Jana to wager Allah calm and how in terms of rely on sort of calm where you felt a bit
academical, the versus still connect very clearly righteousness with goodness in this light in the
		

			next reflected in what is above us reflected in what is around us, reflected in what is beneath us.
Righteousness produces good and if ALLAH SubhanA wa
		

			To have tests you when you are righteous, then it may be that Allah subhanaw taala wishes to elevate
you. And so when you look at the people of Gaza, when you look at the people that are struggling in
our Ummah, the way that they are struggling, it may be that they are the negligence or it may be
that they are the sin of your negligence. But at the same time, I'm gonna calm a station that Allah
subhanaw taala wishes to bring them through.
		

			It could be both of those things. They could be our sin, and their own elevation.
		

			All of those things are possibilities, where we still look inside and we say are our leaders are our
circumstances due to anything that I am doing? You see of your brothers and sisters in conclusion,
many times we talked about our do and our sadaqa a solidarity for the wrongs of the ummah. But when
you read a Hadith of the Prophet slice and I'm where he mentioned a Muslim on camera, Julian
Whitehead Oka Jessa denwa head congested it was the people the Muslims are like one man or one body.
		

			It's one thing to say that I feel the pain of the other parts of the body. It's another thing to say
that I will not cause pain to the rest of the body. If I'm the hand of the OMA, I will not stab the
rest of the OMA in the back or in the front. I will not be the weak link. When he says it. His
thoughts was Saran and what meno didn't want me tell union you should do Barbarella that the
believer to the believer is like a structure. He reinforces the rest of the building, then I will
make sure that I am holding up my part and I am not an empty slot in the building. I'm not the
missing brick in the building that actually causes harm to the ummah. So when you look at what is
		

			happening in the Ummah, do not ask is Allah subhanaw taala punishing these people with their leaders
is Allah punishing them with their circumstances, ask yourself is anything that I am doing?
Producing that which causes harm to me, or to my Alma is anything that I am doing, producing the
miserable circumstances that we find ourselves in?
		

			And it may be that those same sins that are a cause for your misery, or my misery, may Allah protect
us and this life or the next could also be a cause for the elevation of another part of the ummah.
Because even if they feel the pain of our negligence, they will still taste the reward of their
Lord, who was the Most Merciful? May Allah subhanaw taala increase us in righteousness and victory?
May Allah increase us in that which brings about goodness in this life and the next and raised us
with our brothers and sisters to the highest level, the highest rank so that we can be alongside our
beloved Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam so for those that Allah Allah Allah I mean who Luca we
