golden said Either you'll sneak their way off the Rubicon woman you're going to learn how to sue
that will occur because the fellows and Alima medalled we begin by praising Allah Subhana Allah, we
declare His perfection our own imperfections we've ever witnessed that none has the right to be
worshipped or unconditionally obeyed except for him. Subhanallah it's a habit. And we bear witness
that Muhammad Sallallahu ani who was Salam is his final messenger. We ask Allah subhanaw taala to
send his peace and blessings upon him, his family, his companions, and those that follow until the
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:43
			day of judgment and we ask Allah Subhana Allah Allah to make us amongst them, Allah Maha Amin, the
brothers and sisters, it would be ignorant of me to ignore or I would be disconnected to ignore,
obviously, what's been in the news for the last 24 hours, which was the death of a human rights icon
like Nelson Mandela. But my hope was not going to be about Nelson Mandela. My thought was going to
be about something greater than that, and something that I think all of us need to pay attention to
a need to understand. And that is that what would motivate a person what would motivate a human
being to stand up for the rights of other individuals to offer themselves selflessly for the sake of
		
00:02:43 --> 00:03:21
			the for the sake of the cause of an oppressed people for the plight of an oppressed people? And not
have Eman because obviously we look throughout history and sometimes we find that there are people
that stand up for human rights despite not being Muslims. So what is it that would make a person
stand up for those things in the first place, if they were not Muslims, and there is no doubt that
those qualities are praiseworthy qualities. And the answer to that is very simple. That Allah
subhana hoods Allah created human beings as good people in the first place, Allah subhanho wa Taala
placed within us a natural inclination and fitflop a natural inclination, not only to him, but to
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:59
			all that is good to all that is pleasing to Him. As Pamela, we find particularly one of the most
profound explanations of the fitrah of this natural inclination that we have, that I've ever read
was the one by the amount of Rahim Allah, because he said that Allah subhanho wa Taala has placed
within us the inclination towards number one, him being the worship of Allah, so hate, that is the
greatest sign. And according to the creative atmosphere, no, there is no such thing as a true
atheist, we don't believe that they exist. We don't believe that there's a person who really
believes in no God. And this is something that you know, that we see every single day in our lives,
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:41
			that, that these people who deny God who turn away from the oneness of God, when in fact deny the
existence of a god or not people with Sakina are not people with tranquillity. You know, when's the
last time you met a humble atheists that wasn't confrontational? You know, they have no Sakina no
tranquility in their lives because Allah subhanaw taala says, woman out of Allah and victory for in
Allahumma Isha down one care, whoever turns away from my remembrance has a constricting suffocating
life. He has, you know, he has no tranquility, no remote, no peace of mind. No, you know, no sense
of satisfaction or being content with what they have, because they choose to deny that which they
		
00:04:41 --> 00:05:00
			knew is which they know is true and SubhanAllah. You know, there is an experiment that particularly
interested me and sometimes, you know, unfortunately as Muslims, we look towards science to confirm
what's already in the Quran and the Sunnah. And there was an experiment at Princeton University by
Dr. Edward young, where he ran a lie detector test on third
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:37
			already atheists, the question was, Do you believe in God? And all 30 of them said no. And all 30 of
them failed the test 30 Atheists that are asked, Do you believe in God and say no, and they failed
the test. And he made a very profound statement, his studies, he said, No one argues with someone
that they don't believe exists, you're angry with God, you might have issues. And you might, you
might think that by denying this, that it would give you happiness in life, and that you would have
absolute freedom to do what you want. But what we see is that freedom that doesn't entail submission
to Allah subhanaw taala actually brings about misery, contrary to what people think, because an
		
00:05:37 --> 00:06:14
			atheist is 213% more likely to commit suicide than a person who believes in a religion, they have no
answers to anything in life, do what you want, find a party without any restrictions, but at the
same time, there is something inside of you, and you're troubled when you deny that, and instead of
trying to come to peace with certain things, you know, that you that you faced in your life and
certain difficulties, you just denied that there's a creator. So Allah subhanaw taala, has created
everyone to believe in Allah subhanaw taala, it's inside of us, we know that that power exists
scientifically, you can read articles on a god spot that's inside of us a particular part of the
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:54
			brain that demonstrates more activity when God has mentioned, go through all the studies, but at the
end of the day, know that Allah subhanaw taala, has already told you that He created you to believe
in Him, and that a person is troubled when he turns away from acknowledging that oneness of Allah
subhanaw taala. But what's more interesting than that, is that the added on top of that, he said,
Allah subhanaw taala also added two components to the fifth law, not just belief in Allah subhanaw
taala. But every single human being in his nature has a sense of compassion and justice. Every
single person, and Allah subhanaw taala only calls us to that which is inside of us. And that's why
		
00:06:54 --> 00:07:32
			Allah Subhana Allah says in Allah yet little bit of you an action, Allah commands you with justice
and compassion, because it's already inside of you. You're born with that, that's not something that
that you learn or that you acquire, you're born with a sense of mercy and compassion. You're born
with a sense of justice, and Subhanallah, it was just this year, and I was in New Jersey, and
there's a brother, a very good friend of mine, who's a pediatrician who sent me a New York Times
article. And it was a study that was done this year, where they actually tested children, infants,
to see if the if justice or compassionate justice and compassion is something that's taught, or it's
		
00:07:32 --> 00:08:09
			something that you're born with. So they actually took these kids, and they would show them
cartoons. And you know, if you, you know, you grew up, you grew up on cartoons, you see that there's
always a bad guy and a good guy, right are a bad cat and a good rap. You know, whatever it is, but
there's always someone who's bad. And someone who's good at these kids actually had a faster
heartbeat. And were actually troubled whenever they saw that justice was not being served even in a
cartoon. Allah created us that way. So you've asked yourself, well, well, how is it then that we
have, you know, murderers, and we have the the Buchon acids and the CC's in this world that if were
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:17
			created with compassion, and justice, how is it that those people even exist? And the answer to that
is very simple, that there's a great difference between nature and nurture?
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:58
			People nurture hatred, they nurture injustice, they become delusional. You know, there's a lot of
truth to that statement that sometimes you tell a lie so much, that you actually start to believe
your own life. And people literally create for themselves, you know, this this bubble, where they
nurture hatred, they nurture injustice, they nurture the womb, they become merciless people, but at
the same time, they will remain troubled, because it's still there. It might be hanging on it might
be just a hair, but it's still there. There's still some level of compassion, some level of justice,
whether a person likes it or not, because Allah subhanaw taala created you that way. And when we
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:33
			look at the world, we see that there are human beings that are not Muslims. And you know what, one
of the biggest issues with Muslims is that we start seeing the world as black and white. We are
Muslims and they are kofod They're all disbelievers, and they're all the same. Allah subhanaw taala
said, they're not the same nations. So they're not the same. No two human beings in the world are
the same. Don't sit there and tell me that they're all the same. They're not all the same. Hitler is
not like Nelson Mandela. Okay, we Allah subhanaw taala taught us that in the Quran. When we start
seeing the world in black and white, we we fail to recognize and acknowledge certain things. And
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:59
			subhanAllah we find that there are people that have taken up Muslim causes and I use that word
because we see them as Muslim causes. They're really human causes Muslim causes, and they're not
even Muslim. And subhanAllah. I'll give you this example. You know, all of us I would say as Muslims
are somewhat passionate about the Palestinian cause out obviously, when different things happen in
the world that then we start to become distracted because our hearts are not big enough.
Unfortunately, sometimes take
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:40
			Hear about Burma, Syria, Palestine, Somalia, Iraq all at the same time. We can't do it for some
reason, we have to be tuned into one at a time. And but somehow the Palestinian cause is a cause
that the Muslim community as a whole always demonstrates a special level of attention for it. You
know, everyone cares about the Palestinian cause. Muslims always, you know, before 911, and even
after 911, maybe after 911, it got toned down a little bit. But the Muslim community has always been
on the forefront of the Palestinian cause. And subhanAllah. If you read in these last 10 years, and
particularly, or actually these last 12 years, you'll find that there are peace activists and people
		
00:10:40 --> 00:11:19
			that have actually went to Palestine, and stood up for the rights of the people over there that are
not Muslim. And somehow I'm one of those people is Rachel Corrie. And I don't know if anyone in here
has read about Rachel Cornyn, I know a few of you probably have the Rachel Corrie, a 23 year old
white American activist born and raised in the States, not Muslim, who actually went to Russia with
with with the International Solidarity movement, and stood in front of a bulldozer, as it was
demolishing a house and Russell stood in front of a bulldozer, you know, and protested that house
been demolished, as Pamela was killed in the process. You know, what is it that drove her to do
		
00:11:19 --> 00:12:00
			that? It was her humanity. It wasn't her email. It was her humanity. And when we're called to Eman,
we're called to humanity to you know, there's something about us as human beings that those those
elements of compassion justice have to be present inside of us. It's Paulo, there's still people
today, if you read about Harry fear, a person, a young man by the name of Harry fear that's been in
London for the last four years, doing work over there, a journalist who dedicated himself to that
cause that's humanity. That's just being a good person at the end of the day. And Allah subhanaw
taala doesn't want you to forget that because of your iman, if anything, your Eman takes a hit when
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:42
			you start to neglect your humanity. Your Eman will take a hit when you start to neglect your your
humanity and that's why I know the alignment says an authentic hadith narrated Muslim that a man
came to the Prophet slicin and complained because what we'll call that his heart was hard. And also
Allah fie Salam al sol and Yom Sahaba. Leah team was ALLAH Islam said you need to accompany an
orphan. And pat the head of an orphan. So that you can you know, subhanAllah soften your heart. By
making yourself more human, you make yourself a better Muslim by default. And a lot of times we fail
to we fail to take those causes seriously, and we failed to take them as our own, and we bicker
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:46
			about it. And when someone does something about it, we say well, they weren't Muslim anyway.
		
00:12:47 --> 00:13:23
			And subhanAllah that's not what we were created to do. And there's a very profound Hadith that I'll
share with you all today. It's a hadith that's also narrated, listening by Muhammad with an
authentic chain by Abu Dhabi, believe it or not, the Allah will try to who says that I was with the
Prophet sallallahu it was Salah on a personal level. So it was just me and masala sai Solomon the
companions of Rasul Allah. So I said, when they had him alone, they would ask him questions that
were already addressed publicly, but they would they would want to get the secrets also. Right. So
putting the code on your back when you give me some words that will benefit me and make it short.
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:54
			This is a man who intends to the hook was of the prophets lie Selim. And then here's the beneficial
advice of the prophets is on all the time. But now I've got you to my own, you know, just just
between me and you now I've got you on my own. Give me some advice. Yes, Allah give me some quick
words that will make it easy. You know, imagine if you met the most successful businessman in the
world, the most successful CEO CEO in the world, he might have given lectures on how to be
successful, but hey, I've got you privately. Now. Can you give me some advice? Give me some secret
advice. Give me a few words. So Abu Dhabi a lot of times says that I was with the prophets like
		
00:13:54 --> 00:14:35
			Selim and I went to him and I said Yalow Sol, Allah Manda eungella. Abdullah now what is it that
takes away a land Mina now what is it that takes away the slave from hellfire? What's going to
protect him from hellfire? Now obviously for Salah My son has addressed this pretty clearly. Allah
azza wa jal has addressed this pretty clearly, but not private advice. And he responded to Abu
Dhabi, Allah and when he said Al Eman Billa relief and Allah Simple as that. Right now Subhan Allah
it's a simple question, a simple answer, but Abu Dhabi Allah Han who wants to squeeze this as he
says he also of Allah, in America and Yamuna, are their actions that accompany faith or their
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:59
			actions that accompany faith. What do we do that to accompany that faith for so long? And I'm so
young Allah minmetals, aka hula he spends from what Allah Subhana Allah gave to him. And no, this is
not a fundraising multiple. There's no fundraising at the end of the whole book. Unfortunately, I
know usually when you hear about some of that it's got to be a fundraiser at the end. No, this is
part of our eemaan The first thing that compensates that I mentioned was he spends out of what Allah
says
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:38
			I don't want to allocate him he puts his money where his mouth is he shows his love to Allah
subhanaw taala by spending on noble causes and then I'm without all the Allah I'm in response he
says Jana Sula or ATIA in Cana fuckery. You know, what if that person is poor, he doesn't have
anything to spend with. So last lesson respondent said yes, it would have been rude for young man in
one camp that he should enjoy and that which is good and forbid that which is evil. Enjoy that which
is good. And for good that which is evil, you know what, that was free. You know, I'm gonna build my
roof is free. You don't have to pay money to say something. You don't have to pay money to do
		
00:15:38 --> 00:16:10
			something good in your society to to speak up. Right? Yeah, that would be my rule for you. And, and,
and mooncup. This is all free. No one has an excuse not to do it, unless he's under fear. Unless
he's living under fear. And it's a legitimate fear. It's not just paranoia, and he really can't say
anything. You know, I hear people all the time, say, shall we can't talk about that. Because if we,
if we keep talking about that, then you know, we're gonna get a visit and you're gonna get a visit,
regardless of Allah subhanaw taala decree the visit for you. And if you stopped speaking the truth,
Allah subhanaw taala will entrust you to those that you fear.
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:44
			Just speak, talk. Allah didn't make you weak. You know, and the Hadith of the prophets, I send them
Allah aminika Winco. When you are you know who we are the whoever sees an evil, let them change it
with his hand. And if he can't do so, then with his tongue, and if he can't do so, then he should
hate it with his heart, and that is Allah awful. Eema. That's the weakest form of faith. But you
can't resort to that unless you can't do the first one or the second one. You can't change it with
your hands, change it with your tongue. If you cannot change it with your tongue, then you can hate
it in your heart. But you can't just hate it in your heart because you're afraid of letting your
		
00:16:44 --> 00:17:20
			tongue loose. You're afraid of saying what's right even though no one stopped you from saying what's
right. No one stopped you from speaking up. So as soon as I said the app would have been viral for
yet had in one cup. I will double the Allah Akbar response. He's taking this conversation and
broadening it as much as possible. He says yellow suit Allah, what if that person is weak? You know,
so he is living in fear. layers will be on the amount of weigh in and in one cup he cannot do a
mobile model for nonionic mooncup. He cannot enjoin good and forbid evil. He stuck. Rasul Allah
slice Allah said, Yes, narrowly.
		
00:17:21 --> 00:18:04
			Very profound words. And they are so applicable to us here in the United States. By the way,
Rasulillah Salam said, he should educate someone who can. He should teach someone who can laugh rock
is someone who's a jerk, who's ignorance, but he has the means. So go educate the influence, make go
educate people of influence, help people who can make a difference, see the light see the truth so
that they can do it that go behind the scenes and try to influence people in position to do the
right things. Subhan Allah, the prophets lie Selim is giving us truly, you know, a path to political
and religious success, employing those who can do good, teach them and I was able to be Allah, I'm
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:33
			still not satisfied with the answer. He says he Allah so Allah, Allah ATIA in Canada rock, oh, in
Canada, Jacqueline, what if that person himself is ignorance, notice that they are on yesterday, I
thought, I can't do anything for anyone. He cannot teach that person who's opera, he cannot do
anything for that person. So so far, he's poor. He's weak, and he's ignorant. And he's still
carrying on this conversation. And we know that this doesn't all apply double double the law. But
he's trying to broaden the conversation. He said, You are enormous bloomer.
		
00:18:34 --> 00:19:13
			He should stand with one who's being wronged and oppressed. If you can't stop that oppression, at
least offer some form of moral and emotional support to the one that's being oppressed. At least let
them know that you're there for them. At least let them know, you know, go to someone who you know
is being wrong. Tell them I'm making draft for you. You know, do you need me to do you want to come
to my house? Do you want to talk about at least stand with that person since you can't influence a
situation? And subhanAllah this is something that truly you know, we lack as Muslims and I'm the
first one who's guilty of this. You know, a person has some issues in their life and no one even
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:52
			knows about it because no one asked about anyone was ALLAH slice others, despite having the
congregation that he had noticed what anyone was missing? Where is that person? You know, where's
the woman that was cleaning the mess? Where's that man that brings his son around to play? What's
the last lesson I'm always noticed if someone was missing, and the prophets like some would go and
ask about that person? Well, like we are guilty of this as a community, you know, not not properly
taking care of people and we don't find out about the problems of a person until something dramatic
happens unfortunately, standing with one who's being wrong, standing with one who's being oppressed,
		
00:19:52 --> 00:20:00
			you know, giving someone a call and on a global level, you know, subhanAllah i I'll never forget
this will lie and I know
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:34
			Uh, you know, we can we can have discussions all day long about whether or not you know, you know,
protesting in the street or demonstrations do any good. And there's no doubt that there are some
elements sometimes that are unassailable. There is no doubt, I'm not denying that. So don't throw
that on me. However, I remember when I went to Hajj the year after a husband, and I met a person
from Lazada and Hutch, and he came to me, he said, You know, I want to he knew that I was from
America. First he thought I was just Palestinians. And he said, are you Where are you from? Where
are you coming from, from from America, he said, you know, subhanAllah every time we wanted to give
		
00:20:34 --> 00:21:07
			up, we looked at the TV and we saw millions of people all over the world standing in the street and
supporting us. And that would, that would make us molt. That would show us you know, what the world
is with us? You know, even if it was a US container of clothes, you know, we don't need clothes.
Subhanallah what are we going to do wearing these clothes, but you know what? It showed us that
people care about us, that there are people that are making dua for us, there are people that are
rooting for us and really Subhanallah that's why we should never be little any effort. You know,
sometimes I see people mock you know, there's something you know, there's something for Syrian
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:12
			relief, and they're collecting clothes, oh, they don't need clothes right now, brother, don't be
little that good. Don't be little
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:52
			letter can never be little any form of good. You don't know the effect of it. Anything you can do to
show the one who's being oppressed, that I'm in your corner, I'm with you. I'm standing with you,
whether it's on a local level, or even on a global level, and we know that we are connected
throughout the world now because of the Internet and other types of means. Other means that have
been given to us by Allah subhanaw taala. Now what does that mean? That will be Allah Han who
responded? Call a call to Allah so Allah I said to him, O Messenger of Allah, Allah acent and
cannibals. What if he himself is oppressed? Last Portero Yes, not ashamed, he can't do anything. He
		
00:21:52 --> 00:22:31
			can't do anything. And also last Sunday, he responded to Abu Dhabi, Allahu taala. And he said, Yeah,
about not to read the central coffee sloppy with him. And if you don't want to leave any form of
good for your, for your companions to do all of these things, you need to tell me he is completely
incapable of all of these things, you know, at the profit slice of himself. Liam Sica, another one
in us, you can't do any good. You can't change anyone's situation. You can't support the one who's
being affected by that situation. Make sure that you're not part of the problem. Make sure that
you're not hurting people hold back and restrain your heart and this is something that is consistent
		
00:22:31 --> 00:23:02
			throughout our tax law. While the law it's a it's not only a hadith, it's a foundation it's a filthy
Maxim. It's a foundation in our jurisprudence, there is no harm and no reciprocating apart. Montana
you will be liable human asset failure to hire only us. Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day,
let him speak well or be quiet, you can't do anything good. Make sure you don't do anything back.
What was the responsibility that will be Allah on on the country or Rasul Allah either? ferula
Malika definitely Jana
		
00:23:03 --> 00:23:30
			said some O Messenger of Allah. If he did only that will be entered Jana Subhan Allah He just didn't
harm anyone. He made sure that he didn't harm his environment or harm people. Well, so la Sai Salam
responded, I will double the Allahu Taala and he said, Oh, man in Lachman Yakubu Hislop and how the
facade there is no believer who takes any one of the things that I've mentioned in that has to be at
the hearts out
		
00:23:31 --> 00:24:10
			except that on the Day of Judgment, I would take his hand until it enters him into paradise.
Subhanallah Can you imagine? Masala sites, the gravity of what the Congressman was saying? And what
this deen is really all about how did this conversation start off? This conversation started off
does matter. They wanted to know what's protects Alhamdulillah what protects the surface and
hellfire and look at how this conversation played out and it shows you the priorities in our deen We
ask Allah Subhana Allah to Allah to make us amongst those that are in support of our brothers and
sisters we ask Allah Subhana Allah not to make us amongst those who are guilty of any shred of wound
		
00:24:10 --> 00:24:28
			any shred of transgression or oppression on the day of judgment. And we ask ALLAH SubhanA to add it
to use us as tools for relieving others of oppression and bettering our environment around us and
bettering our afterall as a result Allah Muhammad Abdullah Khalifa was tough Allah you will
accompany certain Western infrastructural well affordable him
		
00:24:45 --> 00:24:47
			I mean whatever one is allowed a lot I mean when I don't give it to
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:59
			them about a calamity Kota Seleka Mohammed bin Salman love riding the sun by learning you will start
to be with someone with a similar cathedra their brothers and sisters in closing you know Allah
subhana wa Tada tells us off and about the tree
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:28
			of the prophets, the MBR that were beloved to him and that should make them Beloved to us. And
subhanAllah we find this deep discussion in Surah Maryam in particular where Allah subhana wa says
with COVID Kitabi and brought him in and who cannot so they are going to be make mention the book of
Ibrahim, verily, he was a truthful a man of truth, and a profit and loss continent describes all of
these MBR all of these profits as canola notice one thing, not a single profit was just described as
being a profit.
		
00:25:30 --> 00:26:07
			You know, Allah subhanaw taala mentions their traits, as he mentioned, their prophet hood, and as he
mentioned that they were entrusted with the rissalah with the message, not a single person's name
was mentioned, except that also Allah subhanaw taala also praised one of their qualities. And that
shows you that these prophets were not just people of divine revelation. They were people that
supported the cause of many others. They were people that we're known for their truthfulness for
their honesty, Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam before he became Rasul Allah, he was a Saudi.
I mean, he was the honest the trustworthy one before divine revelation told him to stand up for the
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:43
			poor Rasul Allah sigh Saddam was the youngest person to take part and Hensel flawed in the in the
league of the jumps to protect the rights of all individuals of that society. He was the youngest
man there. So Allah Azza wa sallam, even though he still did not receive revelation, and the
prophets I send him said, if I was to be called to that, even after Islam, I would still do it, I
would still do it. And the prophets like some praised people that stood up for justice, even the
ones that were not Muslim like mantra, remember ID, but also lost mycelium praise their sense of
justice, and also lost my son, I'm sad that he would work with them, he would stand up for those
		
00:26:43 --> 00:27:01
			causes. And this gives us and this is the take home message that I hope all of us will take home
beyond obviously, you know, wanting the Prophet's license to hold our hands and enter us into Jannah
with the Prophets why Selim beyond that, you know, our cause as Muslims can't just be down.
		
00:27:02 --> 00:27:41
			We can't just want to be great MSA presidents and greatness of it, you know, and greatly Noms are,
are great message presidents or, or just just have strong Islamic institutions for Dawa, there are
causes other than Dawa, that are implicitly also Dawa, that are part of us being Muslim. We are
supposed to champion the causes of social justice for all people in our societies. We're supposed to
champion those. We're not just supposed to raise people and say, make sure that you're good at doing
deadlifts. You know, doing Dawa is an integral part of our deen. And there are some things that make
us just Muslim like standing for people like going to a homeless shelter, like taking care of
		
00:27:41 --> 00:28:20
			refugees, like going to a food bank, like making sure that people's causes are being acknowledged
and being validated standing up for people's rights. If we continue to view ourselves as outsiders
in this society, then we can't expect society to view us as anything but outsiders. And sorry, that
will be ineffective in the first place. Because as the man listen to him, Allah said about the
prophets lie some of us that his data was started before he even knew it. How profound of a
statement is that? His data was on Allah Islam started before he even knew that it started and it
started with his husband and follow with his good character he didn't know he was doing that was the
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:55
			lice on him. But Allah subhanaw taala planted that way his character was giving him was giving him
credibility, so that when he stood up and said La Ilaha, il Allah Muhammad Rasul Allah, He wasn't
just someone that came from nowhere and said, I'm here to save you from hellfire. The same person
that was calling him and saying, I'm here to save you from hellfire was the same one that saved them
from poverty and oppression was the same one that stood for their affairs and their goodness in this
world. So we can trust that he's standing for our goodness in the hereafter as well. We have to make
sure that we understand this and we can we have this proper mentality of saving people of standing
		
00:28:55 --> 00:29:30
			for people's rights and standing for justice because we're Muslim. Not everything is a PR campaign.
Not everything is just to get the cameras. That's not who we are. You know, I remember in Hurricane
Katrina relief, you know, there were some Christian organizations that would send boxes, and they
would have bible verses on the boxes, and I could see the looks on the faces of the victims and the
evacuees when they would see those box boxes. Like really, this is disgusting, and there are
questions. We don't need a message right now. We need food. They were disgusted. How dare you put
that that Bible verse on the box while you're serving me food, I don't need that right now. I need
		
00:29:30 --> 00:29:59
			food and drink. I need someone to take up my costs. And as Muslims, we're not like that. We do these
things. Yes, understanding there that well, but at the same time, it's part of who we are as
Muslims. It's part of our Eman. It's what Elisa will be Allah and the Sunnah of the Prophet slice
Allah, that Allah Allah zyk Allah Allah Allah will never forsake you, because in a colossal wrong
and you are someone who uphold upholds the ties of kinship, and who stands for the poor honors the
guest that's why Khadija will be Allah Allah
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:36
			I said Allah would not disgrace her and as a community we become disgraced. When we neglect those
very things that are these are on the Allah one has said, Allah would not disgrace the prophets why
some important we become disgraced as a community. So we should all think and I asked Allah Subhana
Allah that that he allows us to be used for good that he uses us for his team that uses us for that
Allah and for Upholding justice and truth and that he allows us to leave a legacy with the people
for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala and benefit people for his sake Allah Amin Allah Muhammad, Nina
