colons de the US, la la or your fear la comme de Nova come one day you're clear Allah wa rasool Allah who forgot the first 1000 Alima from my bed. We praise Allah Subhana Allah to Allah, bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped or unconditionally obeyed except for him.
And
we thank him for all that he's bestowed upon us. And we declare his imperfection and our own imperfections and ask Allah Subhana Allah to forgive us for them. And we asked him to send his peace and blessings upon his final messenger Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, his family, his companions and those that follow until the day of judgment. And we ask Allah Subhana Allah to Allah to make us amongst them and in this world to allow us to live the character of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam to reflect the mercy that the prophets lie some reflected in his own life and to earn the Mercy of Allah none of the Most Merciful alumna I mean, the brothers and sisters, ALLAH
SubhanA wa Tada tells us about a very interesting, you know, tribulation that takes place in the very early stages of mankind. And subhanAllah, we find that the same diseases that continue to kill people and continue to destroy the world and wreak havoc on the world, wreaked havoc very early on in creation, the pride of shape on the envy of Kobe, and towards his brother have been the envy of Cain towards Abel, you know, these diseases of desire, right? These are things that Subhanallah purged mankind into a very low state allowed mankind to plunge, and at the same time, continue to do so. And we find that one man's personal ego can lead to the destruction of an entire nation. One
person's personal corruption, their own desires can lead to an irresponsible, you know, reckless behavior that causes an entire community to suffer. And Allah Subhana Allah tells us about, particularly the brothers, who were the children of Adam it his Salam called Eden have been and Allah subhanaw taala. He shares the story with us in surah. Tonight, EDA, particularly after a discourse which talks about Musa alayhis salam, and Musa alayhis salam complaining to Allah Subhana Allah to Allah, that he's unable to change the attitude within his people and Subhanallah it's, you know, Musa alayhis salam. His story is brought up so many times in the Quran, that study each one as
a separate story is fulfilling in and of itself and gives us much information particularly unsuited to not either. Musa alayhis salam 's frustration with his people. Musa alayhis salam complaining to Allah subhanho wa Taala about his people refusing to accept guidance about his people refusing to do away with their old habits, then all of a sudden, Allah subhanho To Allah says what's new, and they have never had an AR done that will help make mentioned to them or recite to them. The story of the two children of Adam and Eve his Salam in truth, called veal and have been Cain and Abel. And Allah Subhana Allah to Allah says, if Kawada Urbana when they both offered a sacrifice and we know you
know, historically speaking, that the story goes that Allah Subhana Allah commanded both of these children to make some sort of sacrifice to Allah, as they presented their sacrifice to Allah Subhana Allah Tada, that's a cook bilum in Medina, it was accepted from one of them while I'm Yutaka Minella, and it was not accepted from the other. And Allah subhanaw taala doesn't tell us why called beeves sacrifice wasn't accepted what the sin was that he committed. I mean, you can dig through narrations from Benny Islam. You can dig through biblical stories, but even then, it's a very hazy picture. And what that shows you is that, you know, a lot of times the reason why our action is not
accepted as not something that is apparent to the Lord. It's not something that's apparent outside, it's something deep inside, you know, two people could be praying, one of them could be praying a lot less but Allah subhanaw taala accepts that person salah, whereas Allah does not accept the salah of another person because of some form of insincerity inside of him. Something that he thought of, you know, maybe it was his, his showing off, whatever it might have been ulterior motives to gain some sort of worldly benefit. Allah knows what's in the heart. So they both offered a sacrifice and it was assumed that the children of Adam it Salaam has the offer to sacrifice both of their
sacrifices would be accepted. But Allah subhana which accepted only the sacrifice of hubby of Abel. Now, what's very interesting about this, Allah subhanho to Allah in this story gives us the mentality and the attitude of a volume of a transgressor and an oppressor. A person who's who's a loser, a person who's insecure, a person who doesn't know how to solve their own problems, a person that that did not feed from the source that Allah subhanaw taala gave them in the first place. Hence, when things don't go right, they don't go back to Allah subhanaw taala Allah gives us that mentality, a person who is truly a loser in all in all aspects and Allah says us Muhammad Al Ha,
serene, he ends up being
From the losers in the Hereafter, as well, as opposed to the mentality and the attitude of a man that has full faith in his Lord, a man that would rather be transgressed than be a transgressor. A man that fully understands that Allah subhanho wa Taala is the only one who brings success and Allah subhanaw taala is the only one who allows failure, which is why his sacrifice in the first place meant something to Allah subhanaw taala because he was doing that sacrifice for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala but think now about Kaabil the brother, the one the one who is going to transgress, instead of turning to Allah Subhana Allah to Allah and saying, Ya Allah, you know, why didn't you
accept this from me? Yeah, Allah, why is there no COBOL from you? What does he do? He turns his anger and his frustration and his insecurities towards his brother, the awkward Tula neck, I will kill you. Subhan Allah, not once does he turn to Allah and even ask, Oh Allah, why didn't you accept my sacrifice? And what this tells us from the very beginning, that when there's a volume when anyone is an oppressor when anyone has a transgressor, whether it's a transgressor at a state level, or you know, we're talking about a king or a president or a prime minister, or whether we're talking about a husband who beats on his wife, or whether we're talking about a man who oppresses his brother, a
woman who oppresses her sister, what that really tells you about the Varnum is that that is a very insecure and small person. That person is small on the inside, that person is truly puny. And they tried to substantiate their smallness in the sight of Allah subhanaw taala and in their own sight by wronging other people and so instead of turning to Allah subhanaw taala he says to his brother, aka to learn that I will kill you call it in MA at Aqaba, Allah Amina and WhatsApp team. You know how he doesn't even respond to that, that threat. Habib simply responds by saying Allah accepts from Almaty and Allah accepts from the pious meaning, you really shouldn't be thinking about your level of
Taqwa. You shouldn't be thinking, you know, why is this happening? Or what I should do to you, you should be thinking what you should do to yourself. And now you should turn to Allah subhanho wa taala. And he even goes to the level to say, let him mess up for Elijah, if you were to extend your hand, yeah, duck, the talk to Danny, clearly to extend your hand to kill me. And there's a powerful imagery here, that if your hand is already out to kill me, then I'm not going to extend my hand to kill you back, not just by virtue of your threat, you know, subhanAllah if if this person and have you noticed that his brother, you know, has issues so when he says luck to learn, like I'm going to
kill you, that's enough for him to defend himself right then and there. But he said, even if your hand is out to kill me, meaning even if I see death in front of my own two eyes, what does he say? I will not extend my hand to kill you. Subhan Allah, I will not extend my hand to kill you. Not only that, but once again, he brings it back to Allah Subhana Allah to Allah in the a half Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah me, because I'm afraid of Allah, the Lord of All the Worlds recognize that everything that God beam says, has something to do with ALLAH SubhanA everything that had been says has something to do with Allah subhanaw taala everything that the oppressor says has something to do
with himself and his own failure. And why is this happening? Why did Allah accept from you? Why didn't Allah accept for me, this is the mentality of a volume. Now why am I mentioning this now? Kabhi indeed killed a beat he actually did kill his brother that actually took place. But Allah subhana Huzzah. Allah did not make her be the loser in the situation. Though he was a mudroom though he was the one that was wrong. He was not the one who lost and this is something that is consistent through the Quran. And it's a message of hope that as harvest of do with the people that were that were gathered together, thrown into a ditch and set on fire, Allah Subhana Allah Allah calls them up
people have photos of people of success. You know they are fat isn't in the true sense of the word. They are successful people, the ones who lit that fire and the ones who did that are nothing but a bunch of losers and in the ultimate sense of the world word will have to live with their failure not just in this world, but in the hereafter as well. Loss of hundreds Adam makes this a consistent theme throughout the Quran. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam brings this down to us. He brings it back to us. And this is a very significant lesson that he teaches us some Allah Allah He was some of the love no hubbub or the Allah I know he narrates from his father hubbub or the law I
knew who was a person that suffered in many ways in life. Kebab had his back burned by his master when he accepted Islam. His master used to put coal on his head burning
Hold on his head and it would go down his back and it would remove the skin from his back. And how bad is the one who told the prophets lie Selim ya rasool Allah, Allah Teddy Relena Aren't you going to make the art for us? For a lot of get us out of this miserable situation and the prophets lie Selim became upset with the hastiness stare Jad, you know, this hastiness that he saw in hobnobbing with the Allah and Muhammad did not just get someone you know, he didn't have someone throw an insult towards him. However, the amount of time and who wasn't humiliated, just verbally, hubbub was physically tortured, physically tortured, almost to a point of death. And he asked the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam now this is after everything is done. Now the Muslims are in a high place. He says yellow suit Allah, what will happen after you know what's going to happen later on? The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said Alphington trials, tests tribulations we just got out of a fifth Naoto sort of law. We've just been tortured for all this time. And you're telling us once again, by the way, this is temporary once again, at some point Allah item if it's now if it's 100 years or 200 years or 1000 years and fitten they're going to be trials and tribulations and he tells how Baba will be a longtime fan who fell in his stoplight and corner Abdullah Al Maktoum, if you
can, if you can manage to be at that point, the servant of Allah that is killed, then do so and do not be a carton Do not be the one who takes a life. And from that is a very powerful principle that we take not just in matters of death. Couldn't Abdullah and Malone, be the servant of Allah that wouldn't be oppressed, but do not be the oppressor. Do not find yourself in a situation when you're the volume where you are the transgressor where you are the oppressor. And the prophets like Selim is telling that to a man who must have some vengeance inside of him who must want some payback on the people that did the things that they did to him. But Rasul Allah sly Salam is teaching him that
do not allow people who are Raul Amin who are oppressors to turn you into them. The greatest success of an oppressor against you is when he turns you into him when he makes you, him, and SubhanAllah. That's the worst failure on your part as well. You know, look, we deal with the ugly side of the community, many times people that were abused by their parents, they can go one of two routes, either they can abuse their children the way that their parents abused them. And some and I'm talking about real abuse here. I'm not talking about a slap on the wrist or a spanking when you were little. I'm saying there are people that were abused by their parents and they can use that as an
excuse to justify that aggression against their kids. But don't be that person. Don't be the one who regurgitates the venom of the transgression and the oppression that was shown towards you. If you are put in that situation, be them of the room do not be the bottom be the one who is who was transgressed against Do not be the one who transgresses now all of that put aside, did the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam preach a message of pacifism did Rasul Allah alayhi salam ultimately preach a message of being quiet and you know, collectively, just being okay with them around the world? Absolutely not the prophets like some did not preach that message. But the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam taught us the message that was so lost why something was giving to us is that if people are unethical with us, we should never resort to being unethical. Never at any point, do we have an excuse to abandon the principles of our faith? So the idea, for example, that's preached by some that well, they kill our women and children, so we should kill their women and children. That's ridiculous. That's a ridiculous concept. That's a sick thought process. It doesn't work that way. They did this to them. So we will do this, it doesn't work that way. You at no point in your life are reduced to a volume, do not let yourself be reduced to that puny human being that has to take
aggression out on other people to feel any sense of success and any any sense of accomplishment in this life, whether it's at a macro level, or a micro level. Now we bring it back to the salah Salem the message that the Prophet slice and I'm taught, you know if that was the case, can you imagine how many times how many times in these 10 years, where the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is being humiliated in the worst way possible? Where the Prophet salAllahu alayhi wasallam is being tormented physically, emotionally and mentally and he has an ummah on his back. He has followers on his back, some of them have died. Some of them have lost family members, some of them have had to
leave their homes, some of them are starving to death. And they keep coming to the Prophet slice. I'm saying yeah, Rasul Allah, when when do we do what we do? When do we do what we do? When does this change? Right? It's hard
been numerous times in history, you know, Montana so Allah, when is the help of Allah Subhana Allah to Allah coming and Allah never gives a number Allah Subhana Allah to Allah never tells a people that a Muslim is coming in 30 years. It'll be there in 30 years. So at least Alright, well, 30 years is a long time we'll just suffer for the next 30 years. Allah azza wa jal always leaves it open ended, because part of the truth to let go and Allah subhanaw taala part of the true trust in Allah subhanaw taala is you don't need timelines from Allah subhanaw taala you only need your role and what you're supposed to do. And then hey, look, they go to Medina, things look up, things change,
you know, all of a sudden Saudi Arabia is coming along, right? The prophets lie sometimes about to make a treaty. Wait a minute, now we've got some people, we've got some manpower, you know, sort of luck, aren't we on the hop? Aren't we on the truth? Aren't they on the baltit? Aren't they on falsehood? Why are we even going through this and the prophets lie Selim is constantly preaching, gradual patient change, that things will be different, we do not resort to what other people have resorted with us. Not only that, we talked about last week, where the the Hadith of the prophets lie Selim had told us up on our turn Sarana in libido alpha equal or two weeks ago that when the
prophets lie, some said, Are you not given success and victory, except through taking care of your weak and vulnerable, you know, a lot of times as we glorify the companions, and we should glorify the Companions, we imagine, you know, the Sahaba and I don't know, you know, whether it's through watching, like rissalah Watching the message or watching, you know, the Omer series, or whatever it may be, but we imagine the Companions you know, looking extremely nice, you know, all of them, you know, have a certain appearance to them, all of them have a certain look to them, and so on so forth, and we imagine them to be pretty prestigious people at times. And we forget that in Mecca,
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was surrounded by slaves. He was surrounded by the poorest of people. He was surrounded by outcasts in their society and you know what, you know and I just want you to imagine the image if you're looking at masala slice I'm sitting with his companions right now. You're looking at the profit slice and I'm sitting with bedeviled the alone Tata and you're looking at the profit slice I'm sitting with kebab little the Allah and who was partially mutilated. You're looking at the prophets. I'm sitting with Abdullah bin Massoud little, the Allah Tada anhu, who was so short physically, that when the prophets lie, some sat down, he was eye to eye
with Abdullah and Mr. Liu, there'll be a low tide and hope. You're not looking at a glorified bunch here through anything that is physical or anything that's manifested from a dunya perspective. And even the prophets lie Selim, you know, would turn and, you know, turned his attention to the leaders of grace, the whole story of Surah Eivissa. Right, that let me address these people and let me change these people and finally the Abuja has. I've got to get Abuja on board, I've got to get a real commitment. I'd be more eight onboard and so on so forth. And here comes the love and Maktoum, the blind man, who's also very poor, kicking up dirt. And Allah subhanho to Allah, not only reveal
Surah Abba to the Prophet, slice on What is Allah subhanaw taala say to the prophets,
what's good enough second i Latina, do not have the humbler that you will actually, you read on our chat.
Keep yourself patient with those people that are standing up and calling upon Allah Subhana Allah to Allah seeking His pleasure. Keep yourself patient with them. Something great will happen with those people, not because things are right on the outside because things are right on the inside. Because there are quality people on the inside. There are people that would never resort to transgression, that would never forsake their values that would never forsake Allah subhanho to Allah, no matter what is pressed upon them, no matter what they go through, whilst but enough second, there'll be patient with them. Yes, we'll stick to those people, things will happen, things will change. And you
know what the prophets like Selim, his data was beautiful, because a lot of times we discriminate when we're doing Dawa. I know, it sounds really weird. we discriminate when we're doing Dawa. But look, you know, if you were to see Malcolm X in a prison cell, when his name was shape on his name, his nickname was Satan, Detroit, red, and then Satan. You know, you want to think that such prestigious data, well, he might not be worth my time, but it's because of people like Malcolm, that we have the freedoms that we have today. You might not have given him any time of the day. Right? And somehow it's almost every great person that you read about, you know, the biography sounds
beautiful as you're reading it, right, you know, came from a poor home, couldn't afford sandals, you know, had a rough life and had this and this and that, why aren't we taking that into consideration when we do that? Or are we just thinking that we've got to approach certain heads and so on so forth, or are we actually trying to approach people with the message that we have
are no matter who they are and what their situation is knowing that Allah might turn them into something great. As he's done many times before, remember, he told us upon our turn Sarana libido Alpha? Why not the week amongst you? Why not the vulnerable amongst you? Are they not worth your data as well? Right. And subhanAllah you know, yesterday at the, at the city council meeting afterwards, I stayed behind quite quite a bit of time. And there were actually two people that were there supporting this bill, the anti Sharia bill. And they came up to me and they said, you know, your story was really touching we don't mean any hatred, we don't mean any harm. And somehow that
led to a 30 minute conversation and they were in tears and laid even wanted to hug me and I was like, my wife's right there. You can, you can hug her instead.
The hug will transfer inshallah. Oh, my, I'm telling you that the inspiration for this fourth book came from that, that internally, I was like, I'm not gonna waste my time with this lady right now. You came here to do this. You came here to do that. Right? internally. I just wanted to yell at her. I just wanted to say you know, you people are racist. You people are bigoted, you're this You're that. But where's the spirits of Allama Federico me for anomala Yattaman
Oh ALLAH forgive my people, they just don't know any better. Where's that spirit? Where's that center being applied? Now and the prophets like some didn't say that when you know everything was comfortable. He said that in which was one of his most uncomfortable moments in life and this is Hadith saw here. And his helmet was being driven into his head and he lost his two front teeth and the Blood was running down his face. Hola. Hola. familia, call me fat, nominate animal. Oh, ALLAH forgive my people. They just don't know any better. Where's that patience. Whereas that spirit of tolerance, whereas that Dawa, indiscriminate Dawa, where we just as the news channels reach homes
indiscriminately? You know, we have to as well show that we will take the higher road, that we won't allow the bigotry of others to make us a bigoted people, we won't allow the bad manners of others to become our bad manners, we won't allow the transgressions of others to become our own transgressions, it Fabula to hear ourselves over and over and over again, we respond to that which is evil with that which is better. And things do change. It's slower. It's not as glamorous, it doesn't yield the immediate result that we always want to see that quick result that we always want to see. But do you realize that there is a sea of that's called the American public, you know,
subhanAllah that don't know your message. That does not mean that the prophets lice and I'm preached a pacifist attitude. You know, ultimately, our being a political liability is directly traced to our being a political nonfactor. You don't get involved in don't you don't get involved with the system, then don't be mad when the system comes back to with you. It's our fault as a community. Yes, you know, get involved with civilized the ways that are acceptable, get involved and make those changes, voice your complaints in those ways, but do not become an unethical human being. And don't forget those commoners. Don't forget the people that are out there. And until we attribute ourselves to
those that are most no mean, those that are wronged in other ways that we can't expect people to care about our own being mudroom, our being oppressed and now we're being transgressed. Where are we when when other people are being discriminated against? Where are we with those causes? Where are we to speak out against that and say, We're not going to accept that for them? Because the entire spirit of Islam is that when it comes to me, you know, I'm willing to let certain things go. I'm willing to let your insults go to me as an individual. I'm willing to let that go. But when you insult my brother, I'm not going to be quiet. And even with the messenger, sallallahu alayhi wa
salam and his Sahaba when they were oppressed, and when they were transgressed. There were non Muslims, you know, subhanAllah, the boycotts on Banu Hashim actually backfired against grace. You know why? Because it evokes sympathy in the people who knew what type of person the Prophet slicin was like, because good people are disgusted by volume. They're disgusted by transgression. They're disgusted by oppression. It actually backfired on them because you had non Muslims literally protesting in Mecca to you not on behalf of the Muslims that were being boycotted that were being mistreated people, good people don't like them. You had the Rena, who says to Abu Bakr Radi Allahu
Anhu as he sees them leaving to miss Luca, you're not a person like you should not be turned away. No, not you. Not you, y'all Rasul Allah, you know, you've been taking care of people that have been wronged all this time. So it's not, you know, my call here is not just for us to be patient with our Dawa and teach people and, you know, and get involved in civilized ways, right to try to change our situation, you know, and not discriminate in our data, you know, deal with the Islamophobes that the commoner islamophobe that's just been being fed the garbage of Fox News for the last 30 years talk to that person.
talk to that person try and deal with your brother who's in that prison cell. Because he never had an opportunity. He might be the next Malcolm X. You don't know. You have no clue. I'm not just saying that. But I'm saying as well, when it comes to other people that are being wronged when it comes to other issues. When we stand up for other people, then we can expect others to come forth and say Muslims should not be treated like this. We don't accept this. Because not only do good people hate violence, do good people hate transgression, they especially hate transgression against other good people. That's when it really annoys you, when a good person is being transgressed
against and when we show people that we're good people that we care about others than we can expect others to care for us with the knights and we ask Allah Subhana Allah to Allah to bless us with that patience to bless us with that with that foresight to bless us with that vision and to make us a compassionate and tolerant people yet a people that stand against injustice whether it's done against them or done against others Allahumma Amin Akula Califa was stuck with the law you will come when he started a Muslim InfraStop fill in the hole for Rahim.
Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen whatever in one Illa Allah the mean will activate to the subpoena la masala was selling with Attica Abdi Kota silica Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam on early he will slap me or sell him to him and cathedra your brothers and sisters many of us were upset last night disappointed
you know and deflated quite frankly but at the end of the day, when it comes to these types of things when it comes to discrimination, let it serve as a wake up call towards us. Let it be a wake up call, let it inshallah Tada be a turning point for our community to understand the way the way towards change the way that the prophets lie Selim established change and taught us to change our situation and recognize that Allah subhanaw taala does not change the condition of the people until they change that which is inside of them.
