			Salam alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuh
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:17
			smilla rahmanir rahim al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil alameen wa Juana Illa. Allah wa meanwhile Arqiva to
Allah masala cinema barichara, avocado, silica Mohammed and sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, while early
he will stop your Salaam to see him and cathedra.
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:54
			You know, usually when I when I come to a nickname relief event, I have to do the fundraising. And
so I have to give a certain message to do the fundraising. But today I can give something that has
absolutely nothing to do with money. And challah Tada, because I'm not the one doing the
fundraising. And we can talk about something, which I feel like is very, very, very crucial.
Obviously, many of us were very disheartened that Arnold Van Doren was not allowed into the country
and was not allowed to board that plane. And of course, you know, Subhanallah, this was unexpected.
And I just want you all to think for a moment, you know, I had the I had the opportunity to meet him
		
00:00:54 --> 00:01:36
			in Canada, because that's where everybody goes, when they can't get into America, they go to Canada.
So, anytime you want to meet any of these people, you just go up to Canada to one of the
conventions. Ironically, it was Nick, Nick convention last year, and I had the opportunity to sit
with him and talk to him. And I have to admit that whenever he first you know, became Muslim, like
many people, I was skeptical. I mean, this man has produced a film against the Prophet slice on one
of the worst movies Islamophobic films that's ever been produced, used to speak just pure venom, and
somehow a lot just to go from that to saying he's Muslim, all of a sudden, I was like, Is this some
		
00:01:36 --> 00:02:17
			kind of joke? Has his Twitter account been hacked? You know, what's going on here? So, you know, it
was really, it was really an honor, you know, to really just to sit with him and to listen to him
and to hear his thoughts and Subhanallah we both just gotten back from Hutch. And from hedge. You
know, we were talking about our experiences in hedge together. And he was telling me about the most
powerful experience that he had over there, which was one he passed by the grave of the Prophet
sallallahu wasallam. Hence, the title of the article, that he fell in front of the grave of the
Prophet. So I sent him and he said, I'm sorry, oh, Prophet, I'm sorry, oh, Prophet. And he broke
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:55
			down into tears realizing that this man sallallahu alayhi wa sallam peace be upon him was the man
that he had been slandering the men that he had been speaking out against the men that he had been
saying so much about in the past. And I want you to just think about this for a moment. How do you
have such a transformation in a man's life? And, you know, although we're upset, perhaps that we
didn't get to meet him this time. But this is part of a bigger issue. Why do you think they didn't
let him board that plane? Are they afraid that he's an extremist? Are they afraid that he's a
terrorist? Are they afraid that he's a man of violence? No, they're afraid of something far greater
		
00:02:55 --> 00:03:36
			than that. They're afraid of him unlocking people's hearts. And showing what as Thomas Carlyle said,
The Great French philosopher, that the heap of lies that we have surrounded the character of the
Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him with is only a disgrace to ourselves. It's a disgrace to
ourselves, that, that we have surrounded this man's character, sallAllahu, Alayhi, wasallam, with so
many lies, and think about this on a on a on a bigger level. You know, if you look at the media
today, and if you look at the news today, you find people that are that are speaking and that are
representing their positions, their political positions. And obviously, the media, you know, has
		
00:03:36 --> 00:04:17
			become nothing more than a spot for campaigning on steroids, right. I mean, there are lobbyists now
towards the media, certain positions are put out there. And the hatred that's being put in people's
hearts towards Muslims is dangerous. It's extremely dangerous. How many of you heard about what
happened in Sacramento two days ago? Anyone heard about what happened in Sacramento? See, this type
of stuff doesn't make mainstream news. Unfortunately, there was a young man by the name of Hudson in
his 20s, walking with his sister who wears a job at Home Depot. And Amanda started to yell racial
slurs at them. And it didn't stop at that he followed them to their car. And as he's loading up his
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:25
			trunk in the parking lot of a Home Depot just two days ago, in 2014, the man pulls out a gun and
shoots him to death point blank.
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:59
			Can you imagine that? This is dangerous stuff. Now, do you think that that men read about Islam? Do
you think that that man had ever sat with a Muslim? Do you think that that man had ever been at an
event or had ever been in a disaster in which Akin relief was there or a Muslim organization was
there and he saw Muslims smiling at him and serving Him? Do you think any of those things know you
hate what you don't know? And it's as simple as that. And one of the things that we see with the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam Look, the people that are out there, the talking heads that are
out there are not in
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:12
			Educated bunch. And I've said this before, I think in Miami last year, and I'll say it again anyway.
But it's not an educated bunch. And in fact, if I mentioned some of the main pundits, the main
people out there media spokespersons out there, if you will.
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:21
			And I and I will say names not because I'm picking on a certain orientation or anything of that
sort. But if you How many of you have heard of glenn beck before?
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:30
			How many of you have heard of rush limbaugh? How many of you have heard of sean hannity, not a
single one of them has a college education
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:55
			42% of public opinion, they're commenting on religion, anthropology, politics history, telling you
how you should be viewing the world with a very uneducated base. Why is that? Because if you already
hate something, if you have something in your heart against a person or against a group of people or
against a religion, then you will accept anything that is said about them.
		
00:05:56 --> 00:06:03
			And that's why Allah subhanaw taala says in the Quran, something very powerful. So just as FLIR to
the brunette or an MLM Lubin?
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:44
			Are they incapable of comprehending the message of the Quran? Or do they have locks on their hearts,
and a lot of times, we just say that we're talking about Muslims, right? Talking about our sins
prevented us from properly appreciating the poor and from properly drawing close to Allah, and from
properly enjoying our faith and contemplating and reflecting, which is true. But it also shows us
something else that's really, really, really important. And that is in the Battle of hearts and
minds, the Battle of the heart is far more important than the Battle of the minds. If a person hates
you, and if a person has had their heart filled with hatred towards you, what's going to change them
		
00:06:44 --> 00:07:24
			is not walking up to them and handing them a copy of the Quran. What might change them is that while
you're handing them a copy of the Quran, you have a huge smile on your face. And you say Good
morning, sir. Good morning, ma'am. I just wanted to share this with you. And what would be even
greater than that is if you were to share with them the message of Islam without even giving them
any material. As the law I know used to say kuno do it and allow me to be callers to Allah subhanaw
taala even as you are quiet, they said how can we be callers to allow without saying anything? He
said, Look, with good character, you can call people to a loss of Hannah Montana and know our
		
00:07:24 --> 00:08:00
			message is not to convert anyone, not a qualified Dean. There is no compulsion religion. We're not
here to convert anyone. And you know, what, if you go to these disaster response sites, I was, you
know, primarily, I spent a lot of time in Hurricane Katrina relief, because I'm from New Orleans,
you know, you would see that many religious organizations were taping pages of Scripture to the
relief boxes. And it upset people. You know, as one as one person said, you know, and I'll never
forget this. Pamela is being interviewed by the advocate in Louisiana. He said that I feel like
we're being spiritually molested. Those are the words that he used, meaning what its disaster
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:37
			relief. We're trying to eat and drink, we're trying to get shelter, and people are shoving down
certain religions and certain ideologies and certain verses down our throats and trying to convert
us. We want to be fed right now. We want shelter right now. And I'm humbled, I can tell you
something, that that's one of the things that extra relief is appreciated for in the realm of
disaster response, that we don't do that. There is no, there is no conversion going on there.
There's nothing going on there except for doing what we're supposed to do as Muslims because we do
this stuff, not as a PR campaign. We do this because we're supposed to do this. We serve people
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:40
			because we're supposed to serve people. You know, it's not.
		
00:08:42 --> 00:09:21
			We're and some how many times we forget that if the only realm that we address ignorantly from and
we address disaster relief from is data and calling people to a loss of hundreds and then that's a
very flawed understanding of faith in and of itself. And so we look at the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam, and we don't find that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam used every opportunity to
throw in or adverse, rather we find that the Prophet slicin have won those hearts with his
character. And I want you to think about this. You know, the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him, was
tested in every way. You know, people stepped on his neck while he was praying. People put camel
		
00:09:21 --> 00:10:00
			guts on his back, people spit on him, people cursed at him. People mocked him, his family was
boycotted the poor amongst his followers were tortured in front of him and persecuted in front of
him and he wasn't able to do anything. He went through all kinds of persecution. And the end goal of
that persecution to the others was was really to get him to act like them, to get him to stoop to
their level to get him to snap and curse and and come out there and show that show that viciousness
that they're saying really exists within Islam. And when he didn't do that, it frustrated them even
more. And and really when you look
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:10
			Get the profit slices message and the way that he won the hearts of people. I want you just to think
about this, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, when he comes back into Mecca
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:44
			as a victor as a man who has come back to the land that he was persecuted in and run out of the to
the same people that killed his own family members, to the same people that slaughtered some of the
most the most beloved people to him that mutilated the body of his uncle, that caused his wife to
die in those harsh economic circumstances and his uncle as well as other uncle elbow pileup. His
most beloved uncle, all of these things that he went through, and you know, there's this idea, by
the way, that when the Prophet slicin came to Mecca, he forced everyone to become Muslim.
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:54
			You know, how many people became Muslim on the day of the conquest of Mecca? 56 you know, how many
Sahaba there were about 60,000
		
00:10:56 --> 00:11:40
			the fact that the prophets lies only 56 people became Muslim on the day that the prophets lie Selim
conquered Mecca and I have a hard time even calling it a conquest. Because the way he marched in
Salalah alayhi wa sallam with his face to his to his to the back of his riding beast, and calling
out to people that come out, you are safe, lots of three barley chameleon, there is no blame on you
today. Today, there is no blame upon you. May Allah forgive you, for him to call out with those same
words that use of Islam, the Prophet Joseph peace be upon him said to his brothers, and to say there
is no blame upon you. Yeah, he could have made an example out of those people. He could have, you
		
00:11:40 --> 00:12:18
			know, taken those people out, and he could have done the same things to them that they did to his
family members. But this was greater than that. There was something more that was to be achieved.
There was something about his character, there was something about his message. It was genuine. It
wasn't just there's no compulsion in religion when we're weak. And then when we're in power, now all
of a sudden, hey, you either become Muslim or die. It wasn't that it was the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wasallam even when he had the opportunity to do things to people, you know what we even find
after the conquest of Mecca, there was a man by the name of full Bala Alessi and Fabiola. Alessi
		
00:12:18 --> 00:13:01
			actually came to Mecca to assassinate the Prophet sallallahu wasallam. Why, because of the culture
wars, at that time, that are very similar to the culture wars of today that this man is coming to
change your way of life. He's coming to take away your freedom. He's coming to turn you against your
parents. He's coming to do this, he's coming to do that. That's what they use the same tactics, the
same top tactics, except you had people that were you know, that were that were going out of their
way even around Mecca outside of Mecca to propagate this hatred and this hate mongering towards the
Muslims. So falada came to assassinate the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam and he had a dagger
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:38
			hiding under his garment. And he started doing off he started walking around the cab while the
Prophet sly son was walking around the cab. And again after the conquest of Mecca and the prophets
lysozyme sees him and he's mumbling under his breath. So the Prophet sallallahu sallam, he goes up
to him and he says, Yeah, football Lima two had the two knapsack. He smiles at me. He says, What do
you mumbling? What are you talking to yourself about? He said, I'm just remembering along just
praying, remembering Allah. prophets lie. Some said, okay, kept walking. Second rounds, full Donna
starts coming close to the prophets lie Selim. He's mumbling. He's kind of breathing a little bit
		
00:13:38 --> 00:14:06
			hard because he knows what he's about to do. As soon as he kills the profit slice on he's going to
be killed. He's on a suicide mission. I mean, it really is a suicide mission. As soon as he kills
him, he's dead. So he's getting nervous. He's mumbling the prophets lie some turns around. He says,
Yeah, hold on. Bhima to have different upset he smiles at him again and he says, oh, football, what
are you talking to yourself about? He said, The auto civil law, a two fourth Corolla. He kind of got
a little annoyed that he asked him that question again. He said, I'm just remembering a lot of doing
philosophy. So third time came.
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:28
			And the prophets lie some turned around to him again, and he turned to him with his entire body. And
he said, Yeah, football, love him to death in a sec. He said, Oh, football, what are you talking to
yourself about? And so he raised his voice at the prophets lie Selim said, O Messenger of Allah of
both was Corolla, making palot I'm remembering Allah subhanho wa Taala.
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:34
			Now the prophets lie. Selim walked up to football, and he put his hand on his chest.
		
00:14:35 --> 00:15:00
			And the prophets lie Selim started to rub his hands on his chest. And he started to pray for him.
And footballer he says, in these words, Florida says that there was no face on the face of the
earth. No Name out of all of the names of the of the people of the earth. And no mention that was
more hated to me than that of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam. But as soon as he put his hands
on
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:09
			My chest and prayed for me. He said he became the most beloved face, the most beloved name, and the
most beloved mentioned in the entire world to me,
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:47
			and he became Muslim. Now here's the thing. The Prophet sallallahu Sallam knew that he was there to
assassinate him. He could have made an example out of him to write, just like his enemies did. They
tried to take some of those early Muslims and they tried to torture them in public so that they
could deter anyone else from considering this message. The prophets I seldom took the moral high
ground which we need to do as a community, and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam instead of
killing him and making an example out of him, and it would have been justified the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam taught him what this message was all about. He won his heart, the
		
00:15:47 --> 00:16:23
			prophets lysozyme didn't need to sit there and have a debate with him at that point. He didn't have
to talk to him over here, because the message already made sense. But the hatred in the heart was
preventing him from even considering the message. And so if you free the hearts, the minds will be
freed as well. And that's what the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam taught us in many, many
different ways. And so forget about all of these people that have spoken ill of the prophets license
today. And these people that think that Islam is a message of hate, and that fit, you know, say
these terrible things about the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam, read what Gandhi wrote, read
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:48
			what Sir George Bernard Shaw wrote, read what Orwell wrote about the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wasallam, the historians of history, have looked at the character of the Prophet salallahu alayhi
wasallam, and fallen in love with him, fallen in love, particularly with the way that he treated
others. And the way that he always took the moral high ground, and the way that the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wasallam killed his enemies with love.
		
00:16:50 --> 00:17:22
			He killed them with love. And you know, I know that a few years ago, just think about this. People
are upset Muslims here were upset. And they were upset in Houston and New York as well that Arnold
Van Doren does not come and we didn't get to meet him. And many of us, many of us wanted that chance
to perhaps hug him, get a picture with him and say, you know, congratulations, thank you for
everything that you're doing things of that sort. Can you imagine if two years ago, you'd found out
that Arnold Van Doren was in town?
		
00:17:24 --> 00:18:03
			No, I hope that no one would have tried to kill him. All right. Or else we would need to report you
okay. But how many people would want us how many Muslims hated his guts at that point? How many
Muslims would have wanted to go up to him and just yell at him and curse him out? How many people
how many Muslims would have wanted to protest is coming? How many how many press conferences would
we have had with our Muslim organizations to say that this is a hate preacher, a hate monger, you
shouldn't be allowed in the city. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam taught us to be patient
with people. Be patient with people, cuz sometimes they don't know any better. And it's not that
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:41
			they don't know any better up here. This is an intellectual faith. We pride ourselves on pride
ourselves on being on having an intellectual faith, a message that makes sense, a message that's
very simple, one God that we worship, and one god that sends prophets and messengers to call to the
worship of that one God, it makes sense. That's why Islam is still the fastest growing religion in
America. With all the hate propaganda, it's still the fastest growing religion in America. It's
still the fastest growing religion in the world. It makes sense. That's not the issue. When the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was struck in the Battle of Oxford, and he fell into that ditch
		
00:18:41 --> 00:19:18
			and the blood was running down his mouth and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam said Aloma
filippone for anomala Yana mon, Oh ALLAH forgive my people, they just don't know any better. The
Prophet sighs I was not talking about Ark either or creed. He wasn't talking about theology or
prayer, the prophets lysozyme was saying they don't know any better. They don't know any better
about what this message is here for they don't know any better about what their purpose is in life.
And what the purpose of this message is, they don't know any better. It's a matter of the heart.
laham Kowloon. liahona beha Allah said they have hearts that they don't think with hearts that don't
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:23
			think because they're blinded with hatred. And you know, I always ask this question to people.
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:50
			And I and you know, I recently had a class in which we we studied this entire case study because you
know, there's a statement that changes evolutionary change is not revolutionary. And many times as
Muslims we make that mistake as well. You want short term results. You want things to happen
extremely quick, changes evolutionary, it takes time. And I asked my students I say, Do you know who
the first prophet
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:56
			that was ever mentioned in the Quran was who was the first prophet to be mentioned in the Quran?
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:59
			What do you guys think? class time
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:02
			No, not at all.
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:12
			Raise your hands. How about that? Let's do let's have a serious class session right now. Some of you
copy that so far right? We had a class as two weeks ago. What is it?
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:13
			No,
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:28
			not Mohammed's Isom not Ibraheem alehissalaam not a Sally Sati Salaam. These are all great prophets
Anybody else? Not Yusuf Ali his Salah. Not Musa alayhis salaam Who is it?
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:31
			No.
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:34
			Not Idris
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:39
			in the order of revelation not in sort of Bukhara you guys are getting mad at me man calm down.
		
00:20:43 --> 00:21:01
			The first prophet ever revealed to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in the Quran, not new
allihies salaam. This is going to take 10 minutes we're going to go through all 25 mentioned in the
Quran right before we get to it. The first one to ever be revealed to the prophets lie Selim.
Anybody know?
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:03
			Okay, I quit.
		
00:21:04 --> 00:21:06
			Yunus alayhis salam
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:10
			Ah, yeah.
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:13
			We all knew that.
		
00:21:15 --> 00:22:00
			The prophet Jonah, peace be upon him. Eunice alayhis salam in the fourth surah to be revealed to the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam surah tell column. Fosbury hooked me up be kawada techwin Casa
he been who it is nada. McComb, be patient with your Lord and do not be like the Companion of the
whale. If he called upon a loss upon which not only when he was swallowed the Prophet Yunus it his
salah and a lot did not say don't be like Jonah. Allah said Don't be like him at that point in his
life. Why? Because Jonah Yunus alayhis salam looked at his people, he said you people are done.
There is no good in you anymore. Allah is gonna punish you. And he walked away from his people and
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:02
			he thought this is over anyway.
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:43
			And Allah Subhana, which Allah is telling the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam don't make that
same mistake. The prophets lysozyme said laya kulana documented vitamin unisoc, no matter. No one of
you should say I'm better than Jonah. So Yunus is a great prophet because as a result of that
experience, he learned and he lost that Vegeta ballyhoura boo luminosa hain. Allah chose him and
made him from the great from the righteous is one of the greatest prophets. No one should say that
they're better than Jonah. No one should say that they're better than Yunus. But don't give up on
your people. Never give up on your people. They're not that they're not evil people but what's been
		
00:22:43 --> 00:23:07
			preached to them as evil, and we have to make that distinction. They're not evil people are not
vandoorne was not an evil person two years ago, he just didn't know any better. And it's our job to
make sure that people like our news, no, no better, you know, to speak to them to show them what our
prophets lie. Some taught us to show them through our character. And you know what's amazing?
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:42
			The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, on the worst day of his life, the worst day of his life,
which was the day of life. Now put the take this into consideration. He just lost his wife. He just
lost his uncle. His people were placed under boycott, they were eating leaves to survive. It was
only him and his daughter Fatima in the house. I'm in the year of sadness. It just happened. The
death of all of these people. And the prophets I some sees a dream.
		
00:23:43 --> 00:24:21
			And he sees a dream of palm trees and some greenery, which wasn't common to Mecca. And there were
two cities that were that had that greenery that had that climate. Medina, which was yesterday about
the time and pontiff and the prophets lie Selim, he thought it's probably thought it's probably a
sign that I should go to thought, Why? Because in Medina, they were a bunch of kids. in Medina, they
just got they were in the middle of tribal warfare and Osen husbands just killed off each other's
parents. Do you know that? On the day that the prophets license took the pledge from the people of
Medina, only three of the unsaved were over the age of 40.
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:51
			These were young people, these were youth in Medina, that essentially you know, came set to the
prophets lie, some were ready to accept to come fix our problems. We believe in you will trust you.
But on the other hand, was a great town. So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he makes his
way to five, and he has a glimmer of hope. Instead the prophets lysozyme stays there for four days
and he's mocked and ridiculed. They mock him in front of his face, they say you,
		
00:24:53 --> 00:24:56
			God would send a message with you. Why not me?
		
00:24:57 --> 00:25:00
			You know, I don't even want to talk to you all of the things
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:39
			People humiliated him one by one, he was rejected by the leaders. And then worse than all of that,
they lined up their children. They lined up, they're super hot. Can you imagine two lines? Two lines
that spans 430 kilometers how much is 30 kilometers in miles? I thought about it the other day, 18
miles about 18 miles and made the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam walk through those two lines,
while they stoned him, punched him, kicked him, spit at him.
		
00:25:40 --> 00:26:15
			Can you imagine what that must have been? Like? You know, I remember reading a research on reality
TV a brazen reality. And they were this one reality TV first came out and they said that one
consistent thing about all these reality TV shows is that they don't let the contestants sleep.
Right. Why? Because they want them to be you know, they want them to be easily agitated. They want
them to snap. And that's why you watch them and you're like, man, what's wrong with them. They start
climbing over tables and punching each other in the face over simple arguments, because they're not
sleeping. They're aggravated, and the prophets lysozyme had not slept for days. And the prophets
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:30
			lysozyme has to walk through this all by himself with a diviner Hadith also being stone, punched,
kicked stones and the prophets I send them finds himself finally after that entire stretch, he finds
himself in this garden.
		
00:26:32 --> 00:26:34
			And the prophets lie Selim is just catching his breath,
		
00:26:36 --> 00:26:40
			covered in blood, and his shoes are full of stones.
		
00:26:41 --> 00:27:22
			And at that moment, as the Prophet slicin is there, he cries to Allah subhanho wa Taala he makes due
to a loss of Hannah horchata complaining about that which happened to him. Now when the prophets lie
Selim goes through that Allah subhanaw taala sent him gibreel Allah His Salaam, the angel Gabriel,
and another angel that was in charge of the mountains, and they give the prophets I send him a
choice. It's all the prophets lie some look, we've heard your complaints. If you want, we can crush
everyone between these two mountains. Now by the way, how many of you have been hunted before? Do
you know the area of a giant some of you might have even stayed in macadam? a jet that's the
		
00:27:22 --> 00:28:04
			mountain. It's that mountain all the way to the other side of life, meaning everyone between Mecca
and thought have done because of what they've done to you. And the prophets. I said, I'm even that
expresses hope. Even at those moments, he has no vengeance. The prophets lie Selim says no, because
maybe their children will be different. Maybe their children will say La Isla de la. We don't know.
Woman Tacoma enough. See, he caught it. His thought was slim. As I saw the low Anna says he never
got angry for himself. It was about his message as angry as hurt as he was, maybe from their
children, something happens. The next thing that happens in that garden, the owners of that garden
		
00:28:04 --> 00:28:10
			see him and they feel sorry for him, so a lot of it was stolen. And so they send their servant I
dust
		
00:28:12 --> 00:28:24
			and the dust comes to the prophets liason with with some grapes in his hands and he gives it to the
Prophet sallallahu wasallam. And the prophets lie Selim as he's about to eat those grapes, he does
something that a lot of you just forgot to do. He says Bismillah
		
00:28:26 --> 00:28:27
			he says In the name of Allah.
		
00:28:29 --> 00:28:51
			He does. He looks at the prophets. lysozyme and he says people in this land Don't talk like that.
They don't say those words. The Prophet slice them said, Well, what land are you from? He said, The
end of the story. So I already know that whole chapter of the Quran, sort of the park and the
prophets licenses. How do you know? You know what he said? He said, because on the day that you came
to LA if I was one of the kids that was stoning you.
		
00:28:52 --> 00:29:05
			And I remember that when you were preaching to my father, and you were preaching to our people, you
read that surah I said, I remembered it even then, and I never forgot it. And I recited it to myself
until the day that I met you.
		
00:29:07 --> 00:29:53
			You don't know. You don't know. Aloma fully call me phenomenal. Allah forgive my people. They don't
know any better. Your brothers and sisters, unless we engage with our society, and hold the causes
of our community in our society precious to us as a Muslim community, and deal with social justice
issues of social justice and deal with issues that are important not just to a Muslim American, but
to a non Muslim American as well. Then expect the hatred that is in the hearts of people to remain.
But if we are able to engage with our society the way the prophets license them did, we won't have
to say anything. Not so that we can make them Muslim. But you know what, there is no way you can
		
00:29:53 --> 00:30:00
			read about the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon them, and not at least admire him. Not at least
respect
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:25
			Tim, not at least say that this was a man of high character that was on a standard exalt that was on
an exalted standard of character we're in NEC Allah, Allah. Hello quinoline You don't have to do
anything anymore. And I saw that in disaster response. I've seen that when we're out there serving
the homeless when we're out there and all these different projects, but it's so much more effective
than just walking up to a person saying, Here, learn about Islam.
		
00:30:26 --> 00:30:55
			It's so much more effective. Instead of learn about Islam, by reading, learn about Islam by
watching. And I'll leave you with one more story about Our Messengers licen them and then I'll pass
the mic back over. You know, this narration is narrated by NSM nomadically alongside, in soon that'd
be that would that's not authentic narration that the prophets lie some and some of you might have
heard, there's an se that was made about this. The Prophet slicin on one time, helped an old woman,
a woman that needed help with her groceries.
		
00:30:56 --> 00:31:13
			And the profit slice on went and he carried her stuff, from the soup from the marketplace back to
her home, on the way from the marketplace, to her home. The only thing that she was doing was
telling Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam about how evil Mohammed sly Saddam was because she didn't realize
that he was Mohammed.
		
00:31:15 --> 00:31:52
			Don't talk to him. Don't listen to him. Those those Muslims, you know, they're coming and they're
coming to ruin everything that we do. They they're turning children against their parents. And the
profit slice on them is just smiling, walking, just taking it. He's not saying anything. And you
know, you're such a good young man, but I hope you never meet Muhammad. Because if you meet Mohammed
Sai Salaam, then he's going to corrupt you just like he corrupted all the other youth just going on
and on and on and on and on and on and on. And the prophets lie, some didn't say anything. Then at
the end of the conversation, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam as he's departing, she says, By
		
00:31:52 --> 00:31:53
			the way, what's your name?
		
00:31:55 --> 00:31:56
			says My name is Mohammed.
		
00:31:59 --> 00:32:37
			He didn't have to say anything else. That was it. He did not have to say anything else. He didn't
have to sit there and tell her and by the way, this is a misconception. And that's a misconception.
And what you just said five minutes ago, that's a misconception. And you didn't understand this
properly. Let me really explain to you what this I mean, he didn't have to do anything else. That's
what I hope in Charlottetown acne relief we'll do they'll do that part of the Hadeeth. Which is in
short, lots of honor. Helping people being there for people showing people as Omaha Pablo, the

in our own personal capacity, or in our own capacities of just dealing with our neighbors, or if
it's just us dealing with a waitress at a restaurant, or dealing with someone who's looking at you
the wrong looking at you funny at a gas station, or a professor that perhaps is discriminating
against you just a little bit who's making some sharper remarks towards your way, we ask a lot that
he allows us to win their hearts that he allows us to at that moment, you know, put our egos down,
