00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			What if what's happening in Syria isn't as
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:03
			great as it seems?
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:06
			As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu Bismillah
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:09
			wa alhamdulillah wa salatu was salamu ala rasool
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:11
			Allah wa ala alihi wa sahbihi wa man
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:13
			wala You know subhanAllah last week I gave
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:17
			a khutbah about how Allah will surprise you
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:18
			and how Allah will surprise us as an
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:21
			ummah How the things we wake up to
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:24
			completely change our calculations and subhanAllah things can
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:28
			happen That not only altered the trajectory of
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:32
			our lives But seemingly altered the trajectory of
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:34
			our ummah as a whole our history where
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:36
			are we now and if you were to
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
			take the most brilliant political analyst a month
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:41
			ago and Tell them that the reality that
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:43
			we are living in now would be that
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:46
			reality They would tell you that your forecast
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48
			is complete nonsense that you have no idea
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:50
			what you're talking about Here we are now
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:54
			and we have these emotions that are so
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:57
			raw And I want to start with this
		
00:00:57 --> 00:01:00
			first and foremost the Syrian people deserve this
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:03
			moment the Syrian people deserve this relief They
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:06
			have been through not just 14 years of
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:10
			oppression under Bashar al-Assad But decades of
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12
			oppression under the Assad family It was a
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:15
			continuation of tyranny under half of the Assad
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17
			and one of the things subhanAllah that broke
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			my heart as we're seeing The stories of
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			the people coming from these dungeons in Syria
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:24
			are the prisoners who thought half of the
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:26
			Assad is still alive and in charge and
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:29
			Who had no idea what was happening in
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:31
			the world over the last few decades?
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:33
			How could you see the level of torture
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:35
			that has happened and not have your heart
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:38
			move and realize that the type of tyranny?
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41
			that the Syrian people have been under for
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:45
			years is Unlike probably any tyranny that exists
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			in the world that the dungeons of al
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:51
			-assad are perhaps the most evil Dungeons that
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:53
			we have ever seen in terms of torture
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:57
			in fact the joy that these tormentors seem
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:59
			to feel as they were carrying out these
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:03
			practices on our Syrian brothers and sisters that
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:06
			were under you know, universities under hospitals under
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:09
			the streets of Hesham under the streets of
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:12
			Syria is so sick and demented and so
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:14
			when we look at our brothers and sisters
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:17
			that are rising from the dungeons that are
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:19
			coming out when we see the joy of
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:21
			our brothers and sisters who have been refugees
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:24
			for the last decade or two or three
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:27
			or even four when we see families reuniting
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:29
			we have to feel a sense of joy
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:30
			and we have to feel for our brothers
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:34
			and sisters that even if their pain was
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:35
			not felt as it should have been for
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:37
			all of these years because There was a
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:40
			calculation that many made that said Syria is
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:43
			already over that This was a revolution that
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:46
			was aborted that this was a miscarriage that
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:48
			this was not going to go anywhere that
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:51
			maybe Because we walked away from their pain.
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:53
			Let us at least give them space for
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:56
			their joy And so we say congratulations to
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:59
			our brothers and sisters in Syria And we
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:01
			say may Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala allow you
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:04
			to have a greater trajectory ahead that everyone
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:06
			who plots against you May Allah subhanahu wa'ta
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:09
			'ala swallow them in their plots that you
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:11
			deserve happiness that you deserve freedom that we
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13
			hope you get to go Back home, and
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:15
			we hope that you have a prosperous Syria
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:17
			ahead But in the night on when I
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:19
			was at the Oxford Union a few years
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:20
			ago I actually told the story of this
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:23
			young girl named the rough in The Syrian
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:26
			refugee camps on the border of Jordan and
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:26
			how subhanAllah.
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:29
			She's a teenager who didn't want food or
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:31
			drink She wanted an education when I asked
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:33
			her why she wanted to go to school
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:34
			so bad She said because I want to
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:36
			be a human rights lawyer And I want
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:38
			to sue Bashar al-Assad for the war
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:40
			crimes that he committed against us There is
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:43
			a resilience there that has been born and
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:44
			I pray that bit in the night I
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:45
			know we will see the way that that
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:48
			resilience will rebuild Syria bit in the night
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:51
			on and take it forward now with all
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:54
			that being said Someone might say well, what
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:56
			about these shady actors that are involved?
		
00:03:57 --> 00:04:00
			What about the politics of the Zionist state
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:01
			of Israel and how Israel is already?
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:05
			Occupying more land and Israel's being opportunistic.
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:06
			What about this political actor?
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:08
			And what about that political actor?
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:11
			I want to start from the very basic
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:16
			premise that political calculations and political analysis is
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:19
			not haram and the average Muslim is not
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:21
			Bound by being a political analyst.
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:24
			You don't have to Understand the situation in
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:27
			fact very few people actually do understand the
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:29
			situation usually you don't have to be able
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:34
			to make precise calculations or Determine which geopolitical
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:37
			power is playing what role exactly that's not
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:39
			on you as a believer That's not on
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:41
			you as a human being that's not on
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:42
			you as a Muslim What's on you as
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:44
			a Muslim is to feel the pain of
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:46
			your brothers and sisters and to express solidarity
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:49
			with them and so any type of analysis
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:51
			that would whitewash Bashar al-Assad's crimes or
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:54
			what these people have been through is Garbage
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:56
			at the start and we throw it away
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:58
			and we say to those people that have
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:01
			tried to penetrate the pro-palestine Ranks and
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:02
			that have tried to express solidarity with the
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:05
			Palestinian people while cheapening the blood of the
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:08
			Syrian people We don't want your support we
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:10
			don't want you in our ranks and The
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:12
			average Palestinian that you would meet in a
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:14
			masjid or in the streets or anywhere would
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:16
			tell you that they are happy for the
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:18
			freedom of our brothers and sisters in Syria
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:20
			that we are all one and we feel
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:22
			their joy and when when the people Now
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:24
			are saying to each other about Palestine may
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:26
			Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala make it so that
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:28
			Palestine is next There's a genuine sentiment that
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:31
			is there but everything that comes after that
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:32
			what could happen?
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:33
			What's behind this?
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:34
			What's behind that?
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:37
			How do we stop Israel from being opportunistic?
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:39
			We know that Israel always is playing a
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:41
			nefarious role in this region We know that
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:43
			Israel is always playing games We know that
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:47
			Israel will confiscate and steal and try to
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:48
			do as much as it possibly can to
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:51
			take advantage of a situation So someone walks
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:53
			back and says well, what about Palestine?
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:55
			What does this mean for Palestine?
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:59
			I want you to appreciate that even if
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:03
			The plan for stealing more land the plan
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:07
			for even further drowning the Palestinian cause Seems
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:09
			to be greater that Allah's plan is always
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:09
			greater.
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:13
			And so even if on paper it may
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:16
			seem that there is now a greater opportunity
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:20
			to finalize the Extermination of the Palestinian people
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:22
			and to expand this illegal state of Israel
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:25
			Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala's plan will always be
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:27
			greater The second thing I want you to
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:29
			appreciate is that subhanAllah when you look in
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:30
			the seat of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:33
			sallam Very few times.
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:35
			Do you find that something is all good
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:37
			or all bad and You know I look
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:40
			at better and I think about the Prophet
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:40
			sallallahu alayhi wa sallam on the day of
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:42
			better better was a day of great Joy,
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:44
			but they also called it a day of
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:46
			great sadness Why because the daughter of the
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:48
			Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam died on that
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:48
			day?
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:51
			Imagine they felt so happy that Allah subhanahu
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:52
			wa'ta'ala blessed them with the victory of
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:55
			better But then if you are the Prophet
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:56
			sallallahu alayhi wa sallam And you just got
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:58
			the news that your beloved daughter Ruqayya has
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:00
			died or your Uthman radiyaAllahu ta'ala anhu
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:02
			And that's your wife Ruqayya radiyaAllahu ta'ala
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:05
			anha that's died Then that is your world
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:07
			at that moment that has shattered you at
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:08
			this moment, right?
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:10
			This is someone that is so beloved and
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:13
			so in the midst of great joy There's
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:15
			still sadness on the day of Uhud which
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:17
			is a day of great sadness on that
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:20
			day When Hanzala radiyaAllahu ta'ala anhu died
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:22
			Shaheed little did he know that Allah subhanahu
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:24
			wa'ta'ala left a little joy For his
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:27
			wife that she became pregnant the night before
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:29
			Uhud and that a son would be born
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:30
			and so in the midst of that Great
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:33
			sadness there was great joy on the day
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:35
			of Hudaybina which Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala refers
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:37
			to as a fatih Allah azawajal refers to
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:39
			as an opening Abu Jandar radiyaAllahu ta'ala
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:42
			anhu rises from the dungeon and Abu Jandar
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:45
			radiyaAllahu ta'ala anhu Is beaten up and
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:47
			tortured and the image of Abu Jandar radiyaAllahu
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:49
			ta'ala anhu shook the companions of the
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:51
			Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam The way that
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:54
			we probably were shook Or I shouldn't say
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:55
			the way we were shook because our hearts
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:58
			don't shake like the companions hearts shake but
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:00
			the way that many of us perhaps felt
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:02
			when we saw the Testimonies and we saw
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:04
			the images of the people rising from the
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:07
			dungeons of Asad Imagine the companions looking at
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:09
			Abu Jandar radiyaAllahu ta'ala anhu this doesn't
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:12
			feel like victory This doesn't feel so good
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:14
			when you're looking at Abu Jandar radiyaAllahu ta
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:15
			'ala anhu So the dunya is in such
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:18
			a way that Things are rarely all good
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:19
			or all bad that that even in the
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:21
			midst of that joy There are people in
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:23
			Syria that came to find out that their
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:26
			relatives were dead and that they suffered great
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:28
			torture before they died And so even if
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:30
			they are back in their land that sadness
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:32
			is still going to be with them This
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:33
			is the way that this dunya works.
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:35
			This is the way that this world works
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:37
			because it's not Jannah And so yes, what
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:39
			will be good for some will be bad
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:43
			for others and sometimes the freedom of one
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:46
			Might actually mean the harm to the other
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:48
			and I'm not suggesting That this is bad
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:50
			for Palestine by the way Because I still
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:51
			believe that Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala has a
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:53
			plan for Palestine out of this That's actually
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:55
			good for Palestine and Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:58
			Will unveil the plans of those who have
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:01
			sought to eliminate Gaza eliminate Palestine and who
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:03
			have sought to expand their illegal project But
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:05
			what I'm saying is that yes in the
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:06
			midst of joy, there is going to be
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:08
			tragedy in the midst of tragedy There is
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:10
			going to be joy But can we all
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:12
			at least take a moment to say alhamdulillah
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:13
			for our brothers and sisters in Syria?
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:16
			That are getting to flock back home alhamdulillah
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:18
			for those that did rise from the dungeon
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:22
			still alive Alhamdulillah for the prospect of freedom
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:25
			for these people now we know that we
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:26
			have to see it through and we have
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:28
			to show solidarity with the people that are
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:30
			in the midst of it and Let them
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:33
			know that we want them to succeed here
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:35
			but in the light of Allah that we
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:38
			don't want any evil forces within or without
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:42
			to Hijack this revolution to hijack this moment
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:45
			of joy to hijack this victory Which brings
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:47
			me to my last point in Charlotte.
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:49
			I you know, some people are confused and
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:52
			it's okay to be confused It's okay to
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:54
			wonder What does this mean for this and
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:55
			what does this mean for that?
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:58
			I want you to realize that in your
		
00:09:58 --> 00:10:01
			do you don't have to have clarity about
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:03
			the exact situation You just have to have
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:05
			clarity about the one that you're calling upon
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:07
			What do I mean by that if you
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:09
			think about the do as that we have
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:12
			at our disposal you ask Allah subhanahu wa'ta
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:15
			'ala Allahumma man aradha bil islami wal muslimina
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:18
			khaira fawafiqu li kulli khair Oh Allah whoever
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:20
			wants good for Islam and the Muslims then

			Islam and the Muslims Faj'al kaydahu fee

00:10:37 --> 00:10:41
			them and let their waj'al tadbirahu tadmira
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:44
			let the planning against them actually be the
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:46
			source of Their destruction or the planning that
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:48
			they make against the Muslims actually be the
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:51
			source of their own destruction There are du

00:10:56 --> 00:10:58
			a path over the believers.
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:00
			Just as when you're making du'a to
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:03
			Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala You know for Allah
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:05
			azawajal to protect you from the right and
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:06
			from the left from in front of you
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:08
			and from behind you from Above you and
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:10

00:11:10 --> 00:11:12
			'as for yourself Make them for your ummah
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:13
			as well make them for the people of

			Syria make them for the people of Gaza

00:11:24 --> 00:11:26
			from behind them from their right and from
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:29
			their left From above them and from beneath
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:33
			them because yes There is a recognition that
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:36
			some things are not what they seem But
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:39
			the things that are obviously what they are
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:41
			That's where we attach our genuine Islamic sentiments
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:44
			to as for the things that may not
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:47
			be what they seem Then we relegate that
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:49
			to Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala and I leave
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:50
			you with this thought, you know in your
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:53
			du'a of istikhara When you say to
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:56
			Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala Fa innaka taqdiru wa
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:56

00:12:03 --> 00:12:05
			You are the knower of all unseen realities
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:08
			What you are doing is you're going to
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:10
			Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala having made the best
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:14
			estimation of your seen reality and Trusting him
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:16
			with the unseen and the seen of that
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:16
			reality.
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:18
			The same thing is true for our ummah
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:21
			dear brothers and sisters Yes, people are gonna
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:24
			have different opinions sometimes about what this particularly
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:26
			means or what that particularly means and yes
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:28
			They're going to be bad actors and propaganda
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:31
			That are going to penetrate the ranks as
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:34
			if Israel just started occupying parts of Syria
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:35
			by the way now people all of a
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:38
			sudden care about Syria and care about Different
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:40
			territories and care about the people as if
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:42
			all of this is just some puzzle and
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:44
			some sort of game that needs to be
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:46
			played We reject all of that.
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:48
			There are going to be different forms of
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:51
			analysis Let it be let the experts speak
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:54
			let those who know how to read a
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:56
			situation to the best of their ability Read
		
00:12:56 --> 00:13:00
			and elaborate But don't ever don't ever look
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:02
			away from the scene that Allah subhanahu wa'ta
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:04
			'ala has put in front of you and
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:08
			Stop trusting him with the seen and the
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:10
			unseen of that reality turn to Allah subhanahu
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:10
			wa'ta'ala.
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:12
			It's confusing to you I don't know what
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:13
			this means for this I don't know what
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:16
			this means for that turn to Allah subhanahu
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:18
			wa'ta'ala and ask Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:21
			To guide you to that which is right
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:24
			Allahumma arina al haqqa haqqa warzuqna tiba'a

			brothers and sisters Who curse your brothers and
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:42

00:13:44 --> 00:13:44
			sisters?
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:47
			Halal when Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala has made
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:49
			that all sanctified and sacred.
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:50
			This is a time where the ummah has
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:52
