Omar Suleiman – When You Can’t Be Broken or Bought

			smilla rahmanir rahim al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil alameen whatever we want to avoid, I mean when happy
but too much suffering a lot more so it was a little darker because we can Mohammed in Salalah while
he was alone, and it only he was like we were so interesting and kathira so just a reminder,
inshallah tada tonight will be the last of the weekly reminder of the nightly reminders this week
and shout out to Hannah, we're going to be doing them Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Tomorrow
being Friday, I'll have my reflections in Charlottetown at 2pm. Eastern. So you can join in for the
virtual what's been shot Latina. And then next week. Again, we'll have our nightly reminders Monday,
		

			Wednesday and Thursday and shot law. And Tuesday night I'm going to be starting a series on the life
of Ibrahim based on the actual
		

			life story of the Prophet Ibrahim is to help prepare us for the hedger to really connect at a deeper
level with his story. So tonight in Charlottetown, I actually wanted to talk about something that I
find just very profound. And again, you know, this isn't meant to be a tough scene per se, just more
of some reflections as we go along the sword or sometimes multiple.
		

			in one area, when I was in Aziz and Hamid, slaughtered as easily Hamid, the path of Allah Aziz, the
Almighty and Hamid the innately praiseworthy, if you think about where those two names come
together, and we talked about this idea that a person derives their strength from the Almighty and
so they become Aziz, by connecting themselves to Al Aziz. They become Mahmoud, they become
praiseworthy by connecting themselves to the one who needs no praise but deserves all praise Allah
subhana wa Tada. So when you think about Aziz and Hamid, it's a powerful connotation. We talked
about how a person develops a sense of integrity, a sense of independence, a sense of honor and a
		

			station that otherwise they would not be able to attain otherwise they would not be able to achieve.
But if you think about where those two names of Allah Subhana, WA, tada come together, they come
together in a very particular part, when we're talking about us habitable food, we're talking about
the people of the ditch, that Allah subhanaw taala mentions to us and sort of broach as they are
being rounded up these people that believed in Allah that decided to that decided to rebel in the
sense that they decided to reject the dominant religion, the dominant state religion, the dominant
forces, and they instead chose to be amongst those that believed in Allah subhanaw taala and the
		

			scene that they are all being gathered in front of this pit of fire. Now what's the connection to
Ibrahim it says Brahim, it is Saddam was of course thrown into a fire. But Allah subhana wa, tada
protected Ibrahim on Islam and he was able to leave that fire without being harmed because the
mission of Ibrahim Alayhi Salaam was not yet complete. And that was one of the miracles that Allah
had given to Warhammer Islam. And so Ibrahim alayhis salam had his he had power. And he had, he's
praised he's elevated because of the way that he reacted to that devastating situation here, go to
sort of broach you have a group of people gathered in front of a ditch of fire, about to be thrown
		

			into that fire. And a loss of Hannah Montana says one moment home Illa Allah Allah is the only
reason why they have been gathered in this fashion. They have been tortured in this fashion. They
have been oppressed in this fashion, is because they believe in one God is because they believe in
one God, Allah Z's ultimate, they believe in the Almighty, they believe in the innately,
praiseworthy and Subhana Allah if you were
		

			context you would say what they do, men, women and children to be gathered in this fashion to be
thrown into this ditch of fire. What horrific and horrendous thing did these people do? And the
reality is all they did was they believed in Allah as east of Hemet and the same thing with the
Prophet sly Salaam, when Rebecca or the Allahu taala animal repeated what was repeated when Moses
when morsani his salam, a Tucker to Luna Raja neurobiological kill a man just because he says that
his Lord is a lot just because he says he believes in one God, would you really kill a man for that
reason? And that's the thing. It's ridiculous. But why? What makes these people so threatening? And
		

			I want you to think of the scene of billable the allowable time angle. Again, if you were watching
the the oppression of the law, you're watching a man being whipped and starved and dehydrated and
placed in the middle of the desert in this humiliating way with a big stone placed on him. One that
takes multiple men and he's screaming in pain and there's a difference.
		

			Get men standing over him.
		

			And Bilodeau the last time it was under the stone, but below the law and was insisting on 111 God,
one guy, who's the more honored of these people. And this is really powerful because if you think
about that moment, it is it is below the a long time who is in the most humiliating situation, in
the most difficult situation. But despite all of the harm that's being inflicted on his physical
person, he is being elevated in stature. We look to build out all the a lot of talent and when we
say what a man, we say, what a believer, we say, what an example of courage what an example of
bravery, what an example of sincerity, what an example of resilience. And that's what made Islam so
		

			threatening. That's what made faith so threatening to the polytheists of Mecca, that this man would
be willing to be subjected to all of this. And he says, I had a head one one for his faith. Now
here's what I want. What I want us to talk about, you know, when you think about oppressors when you
think about Narcissus, Narcissus oppressors are always almost always Narcissus. And there is a sense
of how dare you find your strength in anything but me. How dare you find your your validation? How
dare you find your meaning and your purpose and anything but me? Because the oppressor, crushes
people and crushes the self esteem festa huff up on the right lowers and belittles the liberals the
		

			intelligence of the people belittles the worth of the people and puts them down to a point that they
think that the only way that they can succeed is through validation through them. And so, there is
nothing more threatening to an oppressor than a person who cannot be broken or a person who cannot
be bought. There is nothing more, you know, frightening to that person or to that system than a
person who is liberated even if they are chained than a person who is free, even if they are
enslaved, some kind of love that finds that much. And that's why one of the beauty of Naranjo stands
in front of Russell and Persia, and has absolutely no, no fear of the person that's sitting in front
		

			of him right on a throne and looking down at him and says, Allah has sent us, you know, a
documentary about this today, bad evaluate your ability, but that God has sent us to take people out
from being enslaved to other slaves to being enslaved only to the Lord of all slaves. Women leave
the dunya in a satin to deal with it on from the constriction of this world to the expanse of the of
this world, this life in the next woman, God, the ideal Islam, and from the constriction from the
oppression of other systems to the justice of Islam. That's so threatening the fact that this man
had this much Hayes's up this much honor, that was not an honor that was demonstrated through the
		

			clothes of whatever. It wasn't through him being vulgar or vile in his speech, rather, it was the
dignity of this man. And so, you know, if you're thinking about metka, why, why would these
oppressors increase in their oppression? As they saw the prophets lie summon his followers
increasing only in their good character? Why was it that they you know, they went from insults to
physical injury to murder to, uh, to, you know, banishment of entire tribes? Was it because the
Muslims were responding with aggression? Was it because the Muslims were falling into their trap? Or
was it because the Muslims were so self suffice? That these believers had so much self
		

			actualization, that they took their power from a power source that these people did not control, and
they derive their dignity
		

			that was accessible to these people. That's what's so threatening, and that's the power of faith.
That's the power of faith, that it honors a man like bill out of the allot of time and who, despite
all of the worldly shackles, and it humiliates a man like Abu lahab, despite all of the worldly
embellishments, because when a person cannot be bought, and when a person cannot be broken, then
they are a threat to systems that depends a narcissist and oppressors that depends on breaking
people down. We ask Allah subhanaw taala to give us it is, through our faith to give us a sense of
strength and dignity, to never allow us to be afraid of those that taunt the believers to never
		

			allow us to relinquish what Allah has given us of this beautiful faith to keep us firm and steadfast
and sincere, to never allow us to be broken or shackled by anything. That is other than a loss of
hundreds and we ask Allah subhana wa Taala to make us amongst those that run back to him that fleet
back to him in every situation in every scenario we ask Allah subhana wa tada to make
		

			Amongst those that have those beautiful qualities and achievements,
		

			but he mentions of those people of the foes that can be added to that great, that great success that
great success which cannot be taken away by anything that happens in this world may Allah subhanho
wa Taala make it easy for our brothers and sisters that are oppressed all over the world. May Allah
subhanaw taala keep our brothers and sisters oppressed all over the world sincere and steadfast in
the face of their oppression. May Allah subhanho wa Taala allow them to see victory in this life and
success in the hereafter wherever they may be. Awesome. I mean, does that mean Oh hey, don't sit on
Mighty compartmental Ah, he's got a castle.
