			decided
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:48
			Surratt I heard you right? Okay. So listen, here's the Ross was just being recited. Now certain her
gerat begins, according to some opinions, either certain foods rot, or suit off, that begin what's
known as a surah Mufasa, which are the disjointed or the short sorrows. And this is this is the
majority of what was revealed to the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam, in the first 13 years of
Revelation. And that's why you find much mention of the Hereafter a much mention of general concepts
of belief. And these particular sources, basically from certain truths about or sort of cough, until
the end, which really build the APY that they build the emaan in our hearts, and they illustrate
		
00:00:48 --> 00:01:29
			they highlight the appeal of Edison or Gemma and the Muslims as a whole. You know, what to hate is,
what faith is what theology is, what it means to worship Allah subhanaw taala not worship anything
besides Allah subhanaw taala just general reminders of the hereafter and just building character,
that Subhan Allah sorta sort of depends a lot is an amazing surah in that sense, as well as it
begins this, this portion of the Quran according to some of the opinions, certain foods a lot one of
the names for it is sort of to add up the surah of character, the surah of manners, it's one of the
ways that it's referred to because if you look at the surah of the Quran Subhanallah each portion of
		
00:01:29 --> 00:02:15
			it concerns itself with an aspect of adults with an aspect of character of manners. It starts off
with LA to Kadima, Albania de la he was solely okay at that My Allah wa de model so sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam the other that you show with Allah, and with the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, and if you if you realize here when the prophets lie Selim says in them Boris to the Otama
Makarem one o'clock that I was only sent to Perfect, good character, many of them they said to heat
with theology is and belief in the last percentile, it is good other with Allah, that you know, it
is the worst up that you can have with Allah subhanaw taala when you don't acknowledge his right
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:53
			upon you and you don't acknowledge his oneness, so, in reality, faith is a form of good manners with
ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada. So Allah starts off the surah with the adage that we should have towards
Allah and the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, the way we treat the messenger sly Salam. Had
he been amongst us, how would he treat? How would we treat him? And since he's not amongst us
anymore SallAllahu I think it was salam. How do we treat the Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam. So it teaches us to have that other with Allah, that other with the messenger sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam, and then as it moves on from Allah and the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
		
00:02:53 --> 00:03:39
			Yeah, you Alladhina amanu inja confess he can be another infertile but you know until Cebu, Coleman
Behala, for us to be who I am not to not demean the way that we deal with the with with those that
bring news in the community. Okay, it takes one false statements to destabilize an entire community.
And that's why verification is stressed so much in our religion. So the adult that we should have
towards news that comes our weight, and what it means for our community, the implications, you know,
nowadays Subhanallah you don't even bother to verify what news site it is, you saw something on
WhatsApp, and you just, you just press Share and you start spreading it like wildfire. You
		
00:03:39 --> 00:04:23
			automatically believe it because you want to believe it, and it leads to absolute disaster. And it
destabilizes even the best of communities. Even the community of the prophets lie Selim was
destabilized by people who would spread false news. So being careful. And Allah subhanaw taala then
teaches us how to have a dialogue with one another, in times of in times of hardship and in times of
ease. What in thought if attorney made meaning that settle for asleep? Oh, they now Houma. When two
groups arise from the believers, which is inevitable, and a time of fitna, and in a time when when
gossip is spread, and at a time when little can be verified. And in a time where egos can thrive. In
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:59
			the absence of a system that can control egos. It's inevitable that you're going to have groups
breakout. When things are not clear. When when people as a whole don't submit their egos to Allah
and the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. I want you to think about this and think about all
the fits in that breakout all the all the hardships and all the fights that breakout around North
America. Let's not even talk about geopolitics or talking about the Muslim world. Let's talk about
you know, fitna in the massage it's okay, when you have fights break out in the message and someone
goes out and opens a masjid
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:44
			Just a few minutes away. When you trace it at the end of the day, you're going to figure out that
it's one or two egos that destabilize an entire community. And because of one person or two people's
egos they are willing to sacrifice the house of Allah subhanaw taala, meaning their other with Allah
and the messenger slice animus por. So it goes back to one person's lack of add up or two people's
lack of Adam with their Creator, which leads to fights breaking out, and those egos will inevitably
gathered their sheep. And so you'll start to have groups that will form and it will be all over the
place. So ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada says, ously Hubei now Huma, bring these two parties together, sort
		
00:05:44 --> 00:06:27
			things out, bring people back to Allah and the messenger slice of them, bring them back to the
Aslan, bring them back to the Foundation, which is Allah and His Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, get them all to agree upon the Quran and the Sunnah judge between them, this is what we're
going to do. So when someone else you know, when someone when someone goes after that agreement, and
starts to cause trouble again, fuck it. Let's see, totally, then you all know what to do. Right?
Then all of you join against the one that's causing the fitna in the community. At that point, it's
not about reconciliation. It's about squashing what is toxic in the community. Right? One person
		
00:06:27 --> 00:07:06
			refusing or one group refusing to subvert their egos to Allah and His Messenger, sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam and is willing to put the house of Allah, the community, the community of believers,
everything at risk because of their egos. So it starts off with Allah and His Messenger slice on
then how to deal with news that comes into your community, the other when the news comes into your
community, the other one you see Pfitzner break out in your community. And then Allah subhana wa
Tada says, in normal mode, Mina ICWA, for Asli, who been a homemaker? You know, at the end of the
day, the brothers are believed that you are the believers, our brothers, in normal movement or
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:15
			for Asli, who been to Hawaii come, bring peace amongst your brothers? What is the basis by which we
became brothers?
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:20
			What's the basis by which we became brothers? Faith in who?
		
00:07:21 --> 00:08:01
			Allah so what does Allah Sponza say? What law the under control so all of you fear Allah, you were
joined together by Allah, and by being followers of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, your
hearts were brought together in the first place in accordance with Allah and the messenger slice
Allah. Join again around that which Allah subhanaw taala has given to you to unify your hearts. So
Allah Now mentions other between brothers as a whole. At the end of the day Subhanallah one of the
greatest diseases that we have at the end of the day is that we are a self defeating community.
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:46
			Seriously, think about it if all of the enemies of Islam were to leave us to ourselves, we probably
still kill each other. We're a self defeating community, because we forgot what brought us together
in the first place. And so people become divided upon nationalistic chants and upon tribalistic
things, and upon race and upon social class and economic class people become divided into all these
different classes because they forgot that which brought them together in the first place. You don't
see that person as just your Muslim brother. Instead, you see him as your Muslim brother who happens
to be from another country so we're cool until a fitna breaks out when the fitna breaks out. Who's
		
00:08:46 --> 00:09:11
			going to rally around Yeah, fine. You're a nice Muslim will shake your hand when the shifts forces
to awkwardly do so. In the Masjid. But when fitna breaks when fitna breaks out in the community, you
know what's gonna happen? The Arlberg gonna gather. The Pakistanis are gonna gather, the Indians are
gonna gather the Bengalis are gonna gather the Somalis are gonna gather, everyone's gonna go back
into their cliques and say, hey, look, they're taking the masjid again.
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:59
			Hey, look, they're messing it all up again. What happened? You were just smiling in his face and
saying salaam aleykum. Brother, welcome to the community. Pfitzner broke out, and what really bound
you was not a slum. It was something else. And the ugliness showed in an ugly circumstance. The
ugliness came back out. And it turned out lo and behold, he was fine as your brother when things
were okay, but Allah azza wa jal expects that we can all play nice when things are nice. The problem
is when things get ugly, the true nature of you comes out. And so Allah azza wa jal reminds us in me
Nona is one. The believers are brothers meaning what? If someone from your country is wrong
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:44
			and the other person even if he's a non Muslim actually he is right then be just in them and let me
know what and remember that as believers your brothers now because of that, does that mean that hey
we're all brothers now let's gather against society and let's go back out and let's unify ourselves
and let's just say you know what we can treat the non Muslims like dirt now know the last part of
this Allah azza wa jal deals with up towards who? mankind as a whole yeah you have nurse so Allah
goes through fitna Allah goes through slander, backbiting, layoff Tabata document bow. Layers are
calm women calm. Don't mock one another Latin Abba Zubin. Elcom don't give each other bad nicknames.
		
00:10:44 --> 00:11:17
			You know, don't throw nicknames and labels on each other. What's the easiest way to mock someone you
start calling them names? Right? So whether it's giving them theological names, call him our hobby.
Call him a Sufi call him call him this call him that, right? And then after theological names call
him fat call him ugly call him this. Just start calling names and things of that sort. Don't mock
people don't think you're better than people don't backbite people. Then Allah subhana wa Tada says,
yeah, a U haul nurse in halacha. Come in that current.
		
00:11:19 --> 00:12:04
			Oh people adapt with mankind as a whole. We created all of you from male and female or Jana come
sure Ruben Wakaba you know, Lita, our food in a chroma coma and Allah here at Koco. Last Pantai
says, We made you nations and tribes so that you may get to know one another. And by the way, Earth
has this connotation, even in Lula and language, not just getting to know one another, but getting
to know one another in a very close way. You know, being nice to each other, treating each other
well. non Muslim, Muslim, black, white, Arab, Pakistani, all of you, male, female, you treat each
other with dignity, Why do you treat them with dignity, in economical Mirandola here at the bottom,
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:32
			because the best of you all, is the one who fears Allah Most, which goes back to the very beginning
of the surah. The one who has the best Adam with Allah and His Messenger sly Salam is the best of
you all. And there is no way to know that there is no way to judge who amongst us we can judge we
can say who belongs to what country who belongs to what race, what economic class, what are the
cliques. But at the end of the day, someone in this room has more Taqwa than the rest of us.
		
00:12:33 --> 00:13:10
			And I'm not going to make do out for myself but ask Allah so that we all have high Tukwila I mean
that we're all favorable in our Taqwa to Allah, I know it's odd. Someone in this room is higher than
everybody else who it could be the person that you least suspect. And by the way, brothers, it could
be a sister too. And by the way, you know, those of you that speak Arabic, it could be the brother
that standing up here and is not understanding a word of the Quran, but there is something in his
heart, where he holds Allah Subhana Allah to Allah in certain regard and Allah sees more tough one
is hard. You don't know who they are. So treat every person as if they could be a willy of Allah
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:40
			subhanaw taala and you don't know have a dub with Allah have added with Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam ie the Quran and the Sunnah have add up. When when fitna breaks out, have add up in times
of ease have added with your brothers have added up not to back by you know and to be dignified in
the way that you speak. Have a dub with mankind as a whole we ask Allah subhanahu Bucha Allah to
perfect our iman and to perfect our other as well. I mean, does that come along? I don't send out
like when I'm telling you to cancel
