00:06:20 --> 00:06:23
			I seek refuge with Allah from Satan, the
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:24
			accursed.
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:25
			In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:26
			Merciful.
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:27
			All praise is due to Allah, Lord of
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:28
			the worlds.
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:34
			I pray and send peace and blessings upon
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:39
			the Prince of the Prophets and the Imam
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:40
			of the Messengers.
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:43
			I bear witness that there is no god
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:45
			but Allah, the Guardian of the righteous.
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:49
			I bear witness that our Master, our Prophet,
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:53
			our Greatest, our Beloved, Muhammad is the Messenger
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:57
			of Allah, the Seal of the Prophets and
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:58
			the Messengers.
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:02
			I pray and send peace and blessings upon
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:06
			this trustworthy Prophet and his family and companions.
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:09
			I bear witness that there is no god
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:09
			but Allah, the Guardian of the righteous.
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:10
			As for the rest, I bear witness that
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:10
			there is no god but Allah, the Guardian
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:11
			of the righteous.
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:14
			Peace and blessings be upon you.
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:20
			Allah, the Exalted, said in His Noble Book
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:23
			after I seek refuge with Allah from Satan,
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:27
			the accursed, And hold fast, all of you,
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:30
			to the rope of Allah, and be not
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:30
			divided.
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:35
			And remember the favor of Allah upon you,
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:41
			when you were enemies, and He brought you
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:46
			together, and you became brothers by His favor,
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:50
			and you were on the brink of a
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:54
			pit of fire, and He saved you from
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:54
			it.
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:58
			Thus does Allah make His signs clear to
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:00
			you, that you may be guided.
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:06
			Sadaqallahul Adha.
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:13
			Surah Ali Imran, verse number 103.
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:20
			Allah SWT commands us, and He commands us
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:20
			generally.
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:32
			And the command, if it is general, then
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:34
			it means it is compulsory.
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:37
			In fact, this thing that we are speaking
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:40
			about today, is that a sunnah?
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:47
			It's not fard kifaya, which is a communal
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:48
			obligation.
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:54
			Like when somebody dies, performing their janazah and
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:55
			burying them is a fard kifaya.
		
00:08:56 --> 00:09:03
			If some of the people of the community
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:06
			perform the janazah, then the sin falls away
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:07
			on the others.
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:09
			So what we're speaking about today is that,
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:11
			it's not a sunnah, it's not something that
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:13
			is optional.
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:17
			Nor is it a fard kifaya, something which
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:18
			is a communal obligation.
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:19
			It is farda'ina.
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:26
			It's an individual obligation on each and every
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:27
			single believer.
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:28
			And that is what?
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:36
			All of you, hold together firmly to the
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:37
			rope of Allah.
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:43
			Allah SWT describes it as al-urwat al
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:44
			-withqa.
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:51
			This rope of Allah, it is indestructible.
		
00:09:53 --> 00:10:03
			And of course, heavy jumlatan wa tafseelan, that's
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:04
			comprehensively.
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:07
			And in detail, it is the teachings of
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:08
			the Holy Qur'an and the sunnah of
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:10
			our beloved Prophet Muhammad SAW.
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:19
			All of you, hold together to the rope
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:20
			of Allah SWT.
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:24
			As the Prophet SAW described the Book of
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:33
			Allah, It is the indestructible rope of Allah.
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:35
			It is the most wisest remembrance of Allah.
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:39
			It is the straight path of Allah.
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:44
			No whims and fancies can corrupt it.
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:50
			No incorrect pronunciation can corrupt it.
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:57
			You'll never get bored, no matter how many
		
00:10:57 --> 00:10:59
			times you read it.
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:04
			The scholars never get their full of it.
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:06
			They never get their full of it.
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:08
			There's always one more.
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:14
			And you'll never cease to be amazed by
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:14
			it.
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:26
			Even the jinn when they heard it, they
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:28
			said, we've heard an amazing reading.
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:36
			Whoever quotes the Qur'an has spoken the
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:37
			truth.
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:43
			Whoever acts on the Qur'an will be
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:43
			greatly rewarded.
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:48
			Whoever rules by the Qur'an has ruled
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:48
			with justice.
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:55
			And whoever calls to it, to the Qur
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:56
			'an, they will be guided on the straight
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:58
			path of Allah SWT.
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:02
			And this is the thing that unites us.
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:04
			This is the thing that Allah SWT wants
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:06
			us to hold firmly to.
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:10
			That coupled with the sunnah of our beloved
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:11
			Prophet Muhammad SAW.
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:12
			And they are inseparable.
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:15
			They are inseparable.
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:15
			Why?
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:16
			Because...
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:26
			In the testimony of Aisha, he was a
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:26
			walking Qur'an.
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:29
			You want to see how to live the
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:29
			Qur'an?
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:31
			To practice the Qur'an?
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:32
			To implement the Qur'an?
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:35
			To imbibe the Qur'an?
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:39
			Read the life of Muhammad SAW.
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:42
			Practice his sunnah.
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:45
			His aqwal, his af'al, his taqrirat.
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:51
			His words, his deeds, and his tacit approval.
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:52
			I love that translation.
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:56
			Taqrirat, his tacit approval.
		
00:12:56 --> 00:13:01
			So Allah commands us, all of you hold
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:06
			together to the rope of Allah SWT.
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:11
			وَلَا تَفَرَّقُوا Be united.
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:14
			And don't be divided.
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:17
			And strange enough, there's another verse.
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:22
			وَإِن تَنَزَعْتُمْ فِي أَمْرِكَ فَرُدُّوهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:27
			And if you do disagree on something, if
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:32
			you do, if something does cause you to
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:37
			be divided, then surrender it to Allah and
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:37
			His Messenger.
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:38
			Go back to the Qur'an and the
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:38
			sunnah.
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:40
			And then again you'll be united.
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:44
			Such a simple formula.
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:48
			But we Muslims, we look everywhere except in
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:48
			the right place.
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:54
			That's why Allah says, فَأَيْنَ تَذْهَبُونَ Where are
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:55
			you going?
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:58
			What do you want?
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:02
			What are you looking for in life?
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:04
			Looking to the west?
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:06
			Looking to the east?
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:08
			Listening to this analyst?
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:11
			Listening to that expert?
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:14
			Allah says, where are you going?
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:21
			إِنْ هُوَ This is إِنَّ النَّافِيَةِ This Qur
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:22
			'an is nothing but.
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:25
			This Qur'an is nothing but.
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:30
			إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِّلْعَالَمِينَ A reminder for
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:31
			all the worlds.
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:36
			لِمَنْ شَاءَ مِنْكُمْ For the one that wants
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:38
			to be on the straight path of Allah.
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:42
			We want to be on Allah's straight path
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:43
			together, united?
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:47
			Then we have to hold on to this
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:49
			indestructible rope of Allah.
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:53
			طَلَقْتُ فِيكُمْ أَمْرَيْنَ The Prophet said in his
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:54
			farewell sermon, I left for you two things.
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:57
			I left for you how many?
		
00:14:58 --> 00:14:59
			Five?
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:00
			Seven?
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:01
			Ten?
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:02
			Two!
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:03
			One, two.
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:06
			So cute when you ask the little ones,
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:06
			you know.
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:09
			And they just start speaking, count for me.
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:10
			One, two.
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:13
			So easy.
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:14
			Even an infant.
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:17
			Two years of age.
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:18
			Count so beautifully.
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:20
			One, two.
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:23
			طَلَقْتُ فِيكُمْ أَمْرَيْنَ I've left two things for
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:23
			you.
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:33
			لَنْ تَضِلُّوا مَا إِنْ تَمَسَكْتُمْ بِهِمَا لَنْ تَضِلُّوا
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:36
			Allah gives, or in this case, our beloved
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:37
			Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:42
			He gives the outcome in the beginning of
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:43
			the sentence.
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:46
			He said, I've left for you two things.
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:49
			لَنْ تَضِلُّوا You'll never go astray.
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:51
			He really gives the outcome.
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:56
			مَا إِنْ تَمَسَكْتُمْ بِهِمَا As long as you
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:56
			are holding on to them.
		
00:15:57 --> 00:15:58
			As long as you are holding on to
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:02
			these two things, you will never ever go
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:02
			astray.
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:03
			You'll never be divided.
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:08
			And when we reunited ummah, you know what
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:09
			we are capable of?
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:10
			Allahu Akbar.
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:14
			The Sahaba left Medina and in 70 years,
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:17
			they conquered the known world, or just about.
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:21
			They reached the Pyrenees Mountains of France in
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:25
			the west and Guangzhou in China in the
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:25
			east.
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:30
			I think they say the...
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:33
			It's not confirmed, but there is a qabr
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:37
			there of Sayyidina Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas.
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:41
			I think many of our community have actually
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:42
			been there.
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:43
			I've met some of them.
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:44
			People told me they've actually visited that masjid,
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:47
			the oldest masjid in China.
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:50
			Did they do that?
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:58
			Bickering, arguing, fighting, slandering, pointing fingers.
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:01
			Ik has recht en ze is verkeerd.
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:04
			Ze kan niet van mij vertellen.
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:06
			No.
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:07
			They did it.
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:12
			They accomplished it by holding on firmly together
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:16
			to that indestructible rope of Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:16
			ta'ala.
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:18
			Kitabullah, he answered, wa sunnati, the book of
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:19
			Allah.
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:21
			These two things, the book of Allah and
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:23
			my way of life.
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:24
			Not rocket science.
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:26
			You don't need Elon Musk for this one.
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:30
			Elon Musk, la hawla wa la quwwata illa
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:31
			billah.
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:37
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says, wadhkuru ni'matallahi
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:37
			alaykum.
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:42
			So here we have a command, wa'tasimu, and
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:44
			we have a prohibition, wa la tafarraqu.
		
00:17:45 --> 00:17:47
			All of you hold together, be united.
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:51
			Fardain, it's compulsory to be united.
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:53
			And it is haram to be divided.
		
00:17:55 --> 00:17:56
			And so Allah doesn't like groups.
		
00:17:57 --> 00:17:58
			He doesn't like groups.
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:01
			Because He knows where groups are going to
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:01
			take us.
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:04
			You know when you join a group, then
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:05
			you get handed a syringe.
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:08
			A proverbial syringe.
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:13
			And written on that syringe is cognitive dissonance.
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:16
			You know, we are the best.
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:18
			Don't listen to them.
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:20
			You know.
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:26
			You know when I embraced Islam 33 years
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:27
			ago, it was one of the first conversations
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:29
			I heard in the Muslim community.
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:34
			There was some khilaf on a certain mas
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:36
			'ala, and I heard them literally saying, Our
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:38
			sheikh is more learned than their sheikh.
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:42
			Our teacher is more learned than their teacher.
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:45
			Our teacher was so many years at this
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:47
			institute, and their teacher...
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:59
			Allah SWT says, Indeed, those
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:03
			who broke up their religion into groups, you,
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:06
			O Muhammad, have nothing to do with them.
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:11
			Is there something in that, that is difficult
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:12
			to understand?
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:13
			I mean, I'm being serious.
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:14
			I'm being honest.
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:18
			I mean, I've now given you the translation
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:20
			of the meaning of that ayah.
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:23
			Sheikh, was that an accurate translation?
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:25
			Anybody else here that knows Arabic?
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:27
			Was that an accurate translation?
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:33
			Those that have broken up their religion into
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:38
			groups, you, Muhammad SAW, have nothing to do
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:38
			with them.
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:42
			Because Allah knows, if they had to have
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:45
			made themselves into groups, wallahi, they would never
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:45
			have left Medina.
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:59
			And the other verse, As for those who
		
00:19:59 --> 00:20:02
			broke up their religion into groups, Oh, sorry,
		
00:20:02 --> 00:20:03
			I left out something.
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:04
			Forgive me.
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:05
			Forgive me.
		
00:20:07 --> 00:20:12
			No, shia, shia here has nothing to do
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:13
			with the...
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:16
			with the iranian shias.
		
00:20:16 --> 00:20:18
			The twelve, as they call themselves.
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:23
			Shia here means, and they were partisans.
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:26
			And they were...
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:27
			The Quran was being revealed, there was no
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:29
			such thing as...
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:31
			as the shia.
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:37
			So when Allah SWT says, وَكَانُوا شِيَعًا means
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:38
			they were partisans.
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:40
			Meaning they were biased.
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:43
			Those that broke up their religion into groups,
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:45
			and they were biased.
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:48
			Our group is better than your group.
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:50
			We're on the haqq, and you're on the
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:50
			batin.
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:55
			That's what وَكَانُوا شِيَعًا They were partisans.
		
00:20:56 --> 00:21:00
			The second verse, وَالَّذِينَ فَرَّقُوا دِينُوا وَكَانُوا شِيَعًا
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:03
			Those that broke up their religion into groups,
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:05
			and they were partisans, they were biased against
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:07
			one another.
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:15
			كُلُّ حِزْبٍ بِمَا لَدَيْهِمْ فَرِحُونَ Every group thinking
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:17
			that they are better than the next one.
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:24
			As clear as the sun in the middle
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:27
			of the sky on a cloudless day.
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:34
			So, what do we have here?
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:38
			We have a command to be united, and
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:40
			we have a prohibition not to be divided.
		
00:21:42 --> 00:21:43
			Beautiful example.
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:48
			Yes, we have different schools of thought.
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:50
			In Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaah, we have the
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:52
			main four schools of thought, although they're not
		
00:21:52 --> 00:21:53
			the only four.
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:57
			There's also other mujtahideen, Awza'i, Sufyan al
		
00:21:57 --> 00:21:59
			-Thawri, Abu Dawood al-Zahiri.
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:02
			Besides the four schools, even later scholars like
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:07
			Ibn Taymiyyah made ijtihad in various masaeen.
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:09
			But we still have the main four schools
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:09
			of thought.
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:14
			But all four of these schools are based
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:15
			on Quran and Sunnah.
		
00:22:16 --> 00:22:20
			In no way should a person belonging to
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:21
			a school of thought, a school of thought
		
00:22:21 --> 00:22:22
			is not a group.
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:23
			It was never meant to be a group.
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:26
			Just a school of thought.
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:31
			And then we have the masaeen of taqlid
		
00:22:31 --> 00:22:32
			and talfiq.
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:33
			That's another topic for another time.
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:36
			But there's nothing, there's no way in the
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:38
			Quran or in the Sunnah that prevents taqlid
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:39
			or talfiq.
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:45
			Except in a few instances, very small few
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:50
			instances, where you go from one madhab to
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:50
			another.
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:52
			There's nothing prohibiting that.
		
00:22:54 --> 00:22:59
			But a nice example of unity, of unity
		
00:22:59 --> 00:23:02
			being, Fardaeen was the late al-imam al
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:05
			-shaheed Hassan al-Banna, rahimahullah wa ta'ala.
		
00:23:07 --> 00:23:11
			When he came into the masjid, and he
		
00:23:11 --> 00:23:14
			literally saw that the musallis were like a
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:14
			box.
		
00:23:15 --> 00:23:16
			They were fighting each other.
		
00:23:17 --> 00:23:18
			He said, what is going on here?
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:21
			He said, no, this guy came into our
		
00:23:21 --> 00:23:23
			masjid, and he wants to do the Hanafi
		
00:23:23 --> 00:23:24
			iqama.
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:27
			And we are shafi'i.
		
00:23:29 --> 00:23:30
			So that led them to blows.
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:34
			You know, I mean, al-imam al-shafi
		
00:23:34 --> 00:23:35
			'i, rahimahullah wa ta'ala, he says, كل
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:38
			الناس عيالنا على فقه أبي حنيفة.
		
00:23:38 --> 00:23:40
			That's al-imam al-shafi'i, Muhammad ibn
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:44
			Idris al-shafi'i said, Everyone, everyone is
		
00:23:44 --> 00:23:48
			dependent, or is a dependent of the fiqh
		
00:23:48 --> 00:23:49
			of Abu Hanifa.
		
00:23:51 --> 00:23:53
			And out of respect, you know, the Hanafis
		
00:23:53 --> 00:23:54
			don't do the qunut.
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:55
			When al-imam al-shafi'i went to
		
00:23:55 --> 00:24:00
			go and visit the qabr of Abu Hanifa,
		
00:24:01 --> 00:24:03
			rahimahullah wa ta'ala, when it came time
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:05
			for fajr, and they were making salah in
		
00:24:05 --> 00:24:08
			the area, in the designated space for salah,
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:10
			next to where he was buried, he didn't
		
00:24:10 --> 00:24:12
			make the qunut, out of love and respect
		
00:24:12 --> 00:24:15
			for his teacher's opinion.
		
00:24:15 --> 00:24:18
			Although he wasn't a direct student, but imam
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:19
			al-shafi'i was the student of, the
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:22
			main student of Abu Hanifa, Muhammad ibn Hassan
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:22
			al-Shaybani.
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:25
			And they loved each other.
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:29
			Imam Malik ibn al-Anas, imam Dar al
		
00:24:29 --> 00:24:32
			-Hijrah, and imam Abu Hanifa, they used to
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:35
			meet during the mosim, they were contemporaries.
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:37
			Then al-imam al-shafi'i was a
		
00:24:37 --> 00:24:39
			student of imam Malik, and imam Ahund was
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:41
			a student of imam al-shafi', imam al
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:42
			-shafi'i was a student of the student
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:42
			of Abu Hanifa.
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:45
			And they all had the greatest love, and
		
00:24:45 --> 00:24:47
			respect for one another.
		
00:24:48 --> 00:24:50
			So, al-imam Hassan al-Bani wants to
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:51
			know, what is going on?
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:53
			He said, no, no, no.
		
00:24:53 --> 00:24:55
			This guy wants to come to the Hanafi
		
00:24:55 --> 00:24:58
			iqamah, in the Shafi'i masjid upward.
		
00:24:59 --> 00:25:00
			You know what he answered?
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:02
			He said, the iqamah is sunnah.
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:04
			Leave it out.
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:08
			Unity is farda'een.
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:11
			Allah, please don't go home and say, we
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:13
			don't have to make iqamah anymore.
		
00:25:14 --> 00:25:15
			You know what I mean.
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:18
			Priorities, to that degree.
		
00:25:19 --> 00:25:20
			If you have to leave out the sunnah,
		
00:25:22 --> 00:25:27
			in order to maintain unity, because unity is
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:28
			farda'een.
		
00:25:29 --> 00:25:34
			Unity is an individual responsibility, obligation.
		
00:25:34 --> 00:25:37
			We have to stay united, otherwise we end
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:38
			up where we are today.
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:42
			Wallahi, we are only where we are today,
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:44
			because we are a ummah divided.
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:52
			With unity comes strength, and with disunity comes
		
00:25:52 --> 00:25:53
			disaster.
		
00:25:57 --> 00:25:59
			وَذْكُرُوا نِعْمَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ Remember the favor of
		
00:25:59 --> 00:26:00
			Allah on you.
		
00:26:01 --> 00:26:04
			إِذْ كُنْتُوا أَعْدَاءً Now, Allah is speaking about,
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:06
			the favor of Islam.
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:09
			Remember the favor of Allah upon you.
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:10
			The favor of Islam.
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:13
			That came to you, when you were doing
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:13
			what?
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:15
			When you were killing one another.
		
00:26:17 --> 00:26:20
			In Medina, Al-Auswal Khazraj, and in fact,
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:23
			they come from the same mother.
		
00:26:23 --> 00:26:25
			That's why they're called Abana'u Qayla, from
		
00:26:25 --> 00:26:27
			Bani Asd, from Yemen.
		
00:26:29 --> 00:26:33
			Al-Auswal Khazraj, basically, two branches of the
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:33
			same tribe.
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:37
			But they were slaughtering one another in Jahiliyyah.
		
00:26:39 --> 00:26:45
			And then if you go, just before the
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:47
			time of our beloved Prophet ﷺ, or even
		
00:26:47 --> 00:26:49
			in the time of our beloved Prophet ﷺ,
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:52
			there was Harbul Fijar, between Qais Aylan and
		
00:26:52 --> 00:26:55
			Quraysh, slaughtering one another.
		
00:26:58 --> 00:27:00
			Allah reminds, remember when you were really divided,
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:04
			when you were killing one another, slaughtering one
		
00:27:04 --> 00:27:07
			another, when you were humiliated by everybody around
		
00:27:07 --> 00:27:09
			you, the Persians look down on the Arabs,
		
00:27:11 --> 00:27:16
			the Romans look down on the Arabs, the
		
00:27:16 --> 00:27:19
			Egyptians look down on the Arabs, the Abyssinians
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:23
			look down on the Arabs, even the Himyarite
		
00:27:23 --> 00:27:26
			kings, the kings of Himyar of Yemen, used
		
00:27:26 --> 00:27:32
			to mock and humiliate the Arabs of the
		
00:27:32 --> 00:27:32
			Arabian Peninsula.
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:36
			So he says, remember the favor of Allah
		
00:27:36 --> 00:27:39
			on you, when you were enemies of one
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:42
			another, you were downtrodden, like Sayyidina Umar said,
		
00:27:42 --> 00:27:47
			كُنَّا أَذِ اللَّهِ We were downtrodden, we were
		
00:27:47 --> 00:27:49
			denigrated, we were humiliated.
		
00:27:50 --> 00:27:52
			فَعَزَّنَ اللَّهُ بِالإِسْلَامِ And Allah made us great
		
00:27:52 --> 00:27:53
			with what?
		
00:27:53 --> 00:27:54
			With Islam.
		
00:27:55 --> 00:27:57
			And every time we saw greatness in anything
		
00:27:57 --> 00:27:58
			but Islam, Allah has done what?
		
00:27:58 --> 00:28:00
			Brought us down and humiliated us.
		
00:28:00 --> 00:28:02
			We've spoken about that time and time and
		
00:28:02 --> 00:28:02
			time again.
		
00:28:04 --> 00:28:06
			So remember the favor of Allah on you.
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:08
			This is the thing that has?
		
00:28:08 --> 00:28:11
			Ended division and brought you together.
		
00:28:12 --> 00:28:14
			And Allah has given you the tools to
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:17
			maintain it and look after it, the Qur
		
00:28:17 --> 00:28:17
			'an and the Sunnah.
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:29
			فَأَلَّفَ بَيْنَ قُلُوبِكُمْ لا إله إلا الله محمد
		
00:28:29 --> 00:28:32
			رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم What did
		
00:28:32 --> 00:28:32
			Allah do?
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:37
			فَأَلَّفَ بَيْنَ قُلُوبِكُمْ Allah united your hearts.
		
00:28:38 --> 00:28:42
			It's like you know when this, when this
		
00:28:42 --> 00:28:44
			Kalima Shahada enters the heart, the heart becomes
		
00:28:44 --> 00:28:45
			like a magnet.
		
00:28:47 --> 00:28:50
			And it is drawn to every other heart
		
00:28:51 --> 00:28:54
			that is beating with لا إله إلا الله
		
00:28:54 --> 00:28:56
			محمد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم And
		
00:28:56 --> 00:29:01
			then you get the Ulfah, this bond, this
		
00:29:01 --> 00:29:02
			unbreakable bond.
		
00:29:03 --> 00:29:04
			If it is truly for the sake of
		
00:29:04 --> 00:29:05
			Allah, it's unbreakable.
		
00:29:06 --> 00:29:08
			You feel it especially when you go to
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:11
			Makkah because you're more conscious of it.
		
00:29:12 --> 00:29:15
			Allah SWT says, وَأَذِّن فِي الْنَّاسِ بِالْحَجْحَةِ يَأْتُوكَ
		
00:29:15 --> 00:29:18
			الرِّجَالَ وَعَلَى كُلِّ ضَامِرٍ يَأْتِينَ مِن كُلِّ فَجٍ
		
00:29:18 --> 00:29:22
			عَمِيبٍ لِيَشْهَدُوا مِنَا فِيهِ And proclaim the pilgrimage,
		
00:29:22 --> 00:29:24
			O Abraham, they will come on foot.
		
00:29:24 --> 00:29:26
			And on every means of transport, they will
		
00:29:26 --> 00:29:28
			come from every distant ravine and valley that
		
00:29:28 --> 00:29:34
			they might testify and they might witness the
		
00:29:34 --> 00:29:39
			favor or the benefits that Allah has bestowed
		
00:29:39 --> 00:29:39
			upon them.
		
00:29:40 --> 00:29:43
			The benefit of belonging to one Ummah.
		
00:29:44 --> 00:29:45
			Not two Ummahs.
		
00:29:45 --> 00:29:48
			Not an Arab Ummah and a Turkish Ummah
		
00:29:48 --> 00:29:50
			or a Malay Ummah and an Indian Ummah
		
00:29:50 --> 00:29:52
			or a white Ummah and a black Ummah.
		
00:29:52 --> 00:29:56
			إِنَّ هَٰذِ أُمَّتَكُمْ أُمَّةً وَحِدًا This Ummah of
		
00:29:56 --> 00:29:58
			yours is one Ummah, Allah says.
		
00:29:58 --> 00:30:02
			وَأَنَا رَبُّكُمْ فَعْبُدُونَ وَأَنَا رَبُّكُمْ فَاتَّقُونَ And I
		
00:30:02 --> 00:30:03
			am your Lord and worship Me.
		
00:30:03 --> 00:30:05
			I am your Lord and fear Me.
		
00:30:05 --> 00:30:06
			One Ummah.
		
00:30:06 --> 00:30:06
			One Ummah.
		
00:30:10 --> 00:30:14
			وَاذْكُرُوا نِعْمَةَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ إِذْ كُنْتُمْ أَعْدَاءَ فَأَلَّفَ
		
00:30:14 --> 00:30:18
			بَيْنَ قُلُوبِكُمْ It's like the brick wall.
		
00:30:21 --> 00:30:27
			المؤمن للمؤمن كالبُنيان المرسوس One believer to another,
		
00:30:27 --> 00:30:31
			the Prophet ﷺ is like a brick wall.
		
00:30:31 --> 00:30:33
			Like a supported structure.
		
00:30:34 --> 00:30:36
			The one brick supporting the other brick.
		
00:30:37 --> 00:30:41
			But you know what is the mortar?
		
00:30:42 --> 00:30:42
			What is it?
		
00:30:42 --> 00:30:43
			The daga.
		
00:30:46 --> 00:30:47
			The cement.
		
00:30:47 --> 00:30:48
			The glue.
		
00:30:49 --> 00:30:51
			The mortar that binds us together.
		
00:30:52 --> 00:30:57
			Is this mortar, this bond of لا إله
		
00:30:57 --> 00:31:00
			إلا ما محمد رسول الله صلى الله عليه
		
00:31:00 --> 00:31:01
			وسلم Isn't it wonderful to be a Muslim?
		
00:31:03 --> 00:31:05
			You can truly meet, Wallahi.
		
00:31:07 --> 00:31:09
			You can meet another Muslim.
		
00:31:11 --> 00:31:12
			You don't know him like they say from
		
00:31:12 --> 00:31:13
			Adam.
		
00:31:14 --> 00:31:15
			You don't know him from a bar of
		
00:31:15 --> 00:31:16
			soap but he's a Muslim.
		
00:31:17 --> 00:31:19
			And you say to him, يا أخي إني
		
00:31:19 --> 00:31:22
			أحبك في الله Oh my brother I love
		
00:31:22 --> 00:31:22
			you for the sake of Allah.
		
00:31:24 --> 00:31:25
			What is this?
		
00:31:26 --> 00:31:27
			Wallahi this is a miracle.
		
00:31:28 --> 00:31:29
			A miracle from Allah.
		
00:31:29 --> 00:31:30
			And he looks at you.
		
00:31:30 --> 00:31:32
			He's never seen you in his life.
		
00:31:32 --> 00:31:34
			He says أحبك الله الذي أحببتني من أجلي
		
00:31:34 --> 00:31:39
			وأنا أحبك في الله أيضا May Allah love
		
00:31:39 --> 00:31:40
			you my brother for loving me for his
		
00:31:40 --> 00:31:42
			sake and I love you too for the
		
00:31:42 --> 00:31:42
			sake of Allah.
		
00:31:44 --> 00:31:49
			And then the Prophet ﷺ said that on
		
00:31:49 --> 00:31:51
			the day of Yawm al-Qiyamah Allah will
		
00:31:51 --> 00:31:53
			call out and he will say أين المتحابون
		
00:31:53 --> 00:31:55
			بجلال Just for that.
		
00:31:55 --> 00:31:56
			Just for that.
		
00:31:56 --> 00:31:58
			For one Muslim going to another.
		
00:31:58 --> 00:31:59
			Brother to brother.
		
00:31:59 --> 00:32:00
			Sister to sister.
		
00:32:00 --> 00:32:00
			Guys can I love?
		
00:32:03 --> 00:32:03
			Brother to brother.
		
00:32:04 --> 00:32:04
			Sister to sister.
		
00:32:05 --> 00:32:06
			Just for that one action.
		
00:32:06 --> 00:32:07
			Oh my brother I love you for the
		
00:32:07 --> 00:32:08
			sake of Allah.
		
00:32:09 --> 00:32:12
			I'm not worried whether you are Hanafi or
		
00:32:12 --> 00:32:13
			Shafi'i.
		
00:32:13 --> 00:32:15
			I'm not worried whether you are Ikhwani or
		
00:32:15 --> 00:32:15
			Tablighi.
		
00:32:16 --> 00:32:18
			I'm not worried whether you are Saudi or
		
00:32:18 --> 00:32:18
			Kuwaiti.
		
00:32:19 --> 00:32:21
			I love you for the sake of Allah.
		
00:32:22 --> 00:32:25
			And the day of Yawm al-Qiyamah Allah
		
00:32:25 --> 00:32:26
			subhanahu wa ta'ala will call out and
		
00:32:26 --> 00:32:29
			say Where are those who have loved each
		
00:32:29 --> 00:32:30
			other for my sake?
		
00:32:30 --> 00:32:32
			On this day I will put them in
		
00:32:32 --> 00:32:33
			my shade on the day when there is
		
00:32:33 --> 00:32:35
			no shade except my shade.
		
00:32:39 --> 00:32:40
			Say Alhamdulillah.
		
00:32:42 --> 00:32:42
			Alhamdulillah.
		
00:32:44 --> 00:32:44
			Alhamdulillah.
		
00:32:45 --> 00:32:53
			على نعمة الإسلام وكفى بها من نعمة One
		
00:32:53 --> 00:32:54
			of the du'as of the beloved Prophet
		
00:32:54 --> 00:32:55
			used to make most in his life.
		
00:32:56 --> 00:32:58
			All praise and thanks is solely to Allah
		
00:32:58 --> 00:32:59
			for the favor of Islam.
		
00:32:59 --> 00:33:01
			And enough favor is for us.
		
00:33:01 --> 00:33:02
			Look at the people of Gaza.
		
00:33:05 --> 00:33:06
			They've lost everything.
		
00:33:07 --> 00:33:08
			Material.
		
00:33:09 --> 00:33:11
			Which is nothing in the eyes of Allah.
		
00:33:11 --> 00:33:14
			لَوْ كَانَتِ الدُّنْيَةِ تَعْدِلُ عِندَ اللَّهِ جَنَاحَ بَعُوضَ
		
00:33:14 --> 00:33:18
			بَا سَقَى كَافِرًا مِنْهَا شُرْبَةَ مَا If the
		
00:33:18 --> 00:33:20
			dunya and everything in it was worth more
		
00:33:20 --> 00:33:21
			to Allah than the wing of a mosquito.
		
00:33:22 --> 00:33:24
			Not the wings, the wing.
		
00:33:24 --> 00:33:25
			One wing.
		
00:33:26 --> 00:33:28
			If everything in the dunya was...
		
00:33:28 --> 00:33:31
			The dunya and everything in it was worth
		
00:33:31 --> 00:33:32
			more to Allah than the wing of a
		
00:33:32 --> 00:33:35
			mosquito, Allah wouldn't have given the disbelievers one
		
00:33:35 --> 00:33:35
			drop of water.
		
00:33:38 --> 00:33:42
			So they've lost everything material.
		
00:33:44 --> 00:33:52
			But they have retained everything that which is
		
00:33:52 --> 00:33:57
			enough for them to attain eternal bliss in
		
00:33:57 --> 00:33:58
			the jannah in the hereafter.
		
00:34:00 --> 00:34:02
			That's what Allah is showing to us.
		
00:34:03 --> 00:34:05
			And what is happening in Gaza, what is
		
00:34:05 --> 00:34:08
			happening in Palestine, the dunya is worth nothing.
		
00:34:09 --> 00:34:13
			And iman and Islam and unity thereon is
		
00:34:13 --> 00:34:14
			worth everything.
		
00:34:15 --> 00:34:20
			Our beloved Prophet ﷺ said, ﷺ said, أَلَّا
		
00:34:20 --> 00:34:23
			أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِأَفْضَلَ مِنْ دَرَجَةِ السِّيَامِ وَالصَّلَاةِ وَالصَّدَقَةِ
		
00:34:23 --> 00:34:26
			قَالُوا يَا رَسُولُ اللهُ قَالَوا إِسْلَاحِ ذَاتِ الْبَيْنِ
		
00:34:26 --> 00:34:30
			فَإِنَّ فَسَادَ ذَاتِ الْبَيْنِ هِيَ الْحَالِقَةِ لَأَقُولُ تَحْلِقُ
		
00:34:30 --> 00:34:34
			الشَّعْرِ وَلَكِنْ تَحْلِقُ الدِّينِ He said, do I
		
00:34:34 --> 00:34:36
			not inform you of something that is better
		
00:34:36 --> 00:34:40
			in its degrees by Allah, in reward, than
		
00:34:40 --> 00:34:41
			praying, fasting and giving charity.
		
00:34:42 --> 00:34:45
			The sahabah always looking for for more things
		
00:34:45 --> 00:34:49
			to do, for good things to do.
		
00:34:49 --> 00:34:51
			They said, indeed inform us O Messenger of
		
00:34:51 --> 00:34:51
			Allah.
		
00:34:51 --> 00:34:54
			He said, reconcile between each other.
		
00:34:55 --> 00:34:56
			Always make sure that you're on the best
		
00:34:57 --> 00:34:59
			terms and relations with one another as Muslims.
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:03
			For indeed to divide between the Muslims is
		
00:35:03 --> 00:35:05
			the destruction of their deen.
		
00:35:07 --> 00:35:11
			وَاذْكُرُوا نِعْمَةَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ إِذْ كُنْتُمْ أَعْدَاءً فَأَلَّفَ
		
00:35:11 --> 00:35:15
			بَيْنَ قُلُوبِكُمْ فَأَسْبَحْتُمْ بِنِعْمَتِهِ إِخْوَانًا And call to
		
00:35:15 --> 00:35:18
			mind, when you were enemies and Allah bonded
		
00:35:18 --> 00:35:21
			your hearts and you became by His favour,
		
00:35:21 --> 00:35:22
			brothers.
		
00:35:25 --> 00:35:30
			Abu Bakr al-Qurayshi from Quraysh.
		
00:35:31 --> 00:35:33
			Suhaib al-Rumi.
		
00:35:35 --> 00:35:36
			I suppose we would have called him a
		
00:35:36 --> 00:35:37
			white tea in those days.
		
00:35:38 --> 00:35:42
			Salman al-Farisi from Persia.
		
00:35:43 --> 00:35:47
			And Bilal ibn al-Rabah al-Habashi.
		
00:35:50 --> 00:35:54
			أَخَى بَيْنَهُمْ فَجَعَلَهُمْ إِخْوَانًا فِي اللَّهِ He brought
		
00:35:54 --> 00:35:56
			them together and made them all brothers for
		
00:35:56 --> 00:35:58
			the sake of Allah SWT.
		
00:35:59 --> 00:36:01
			وَكُنْتُمْ عَلَى شَفَى حُفْرَةٍ مِّنَا And you were
		
00:36:01 --> 00:36:02
			on a precipice.
		
00:36:03 --> 00:36:05
			You were about to fall into the fire
		
00:36:05 --> 00:36:06
			the way you were behaving.
		
00:36:08 --> 00:36:10
			فَأَنْقَذَكُمْ مِّنَّا But Allah saved you from it.
		
00:36:11 --> 00:36:11
			With what?
		
00:36:11 --> 00:36:12
			With Islam.
		
00:36:12 --> 00:36:12
			With Iman.
		
00:36:14 --> 00:36:18
			كَذَلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ آيَاتِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ In
		
00:36:18 --> 00:36:21
			this way, Allah makes clear to you His
		
00:36:21 --> 00:36:24
			signs that you may be rightly guided.
		
00:36:25 --> 00:36:32
			Jumatul Muslimin, I start with myself and then
		
00:36:32 --> 00:36:33
			I say to all of you, let's make
		
00:36:33 --> 00:36:34
			it a duty.
		
00:36:35 --> 00:36:36
			Let's make it a duty.
		
00:36:37 --> 00:36:40
			An obligatory duty as Allah has made it.
		
00:36:41 --> 00:36:43
			And our beloved Prophet ﷺ has made it.
		
00:36:43 --> 00:36:47
			Let's make it a duty that we strive
		
00:36:47 --> 00:36:50
			for unity within the Ummah of Muhammad ﷺ.
		
00:36:51 --> 00:36:52
			Unity on the truth.
		
00:36:52 --> 00:36:54
			Not unity based on falsehood.
		
00:36:54 --> 00:36:57
			Unity based on haqq, based on the teachings
		
00:36:57 --> 00:36:59
			of the Holy Qur'an and the sunnah
		
00:36:59 --> 00:37:01
			of our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
		
00:37:03 --> 00:37:05
			Then I guarantee you, we're gonna see the
		
00:37:05 --> 00:37:06
			help of Allah coming.
		
00:37:07 --> 00:37:09
			وَآخِرُ الدَّعْوَانِ عَنِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَالْعَلَمِينَ وَالسَّلَامُ
		
00:37:09 --> 00:37:14
			عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ Do we have any...
		
00:37:14 --> 00:37:16
			I see these papers here but I'm not
		
00:37:16 --> 00:37:17
			sure if these are old announcements.
		
00:37:17 --> 00:37:18
			Any new announcements, Mr. Chairman?
		
00:37:19 --> 00:37:21
			Oh yes, Masjid Love you said.
		
00:37:21 --> 00:37:23
			Masjid Love is doing a collection.
		
00:37:23 --> 00:37:27
			Masjid Love does very good work especially those
		
00:37:27 --> 00:37:30
			masajids that are in areas where the people
		
00:37:30 --> 00:37:35
			are really struggling economically and they battle to
		
00:37:35 --> 00:37:39
			maintain their masajid and even battle on occasions
		
00:37:39 --> 00:37:42
			to pay the imam and the caretaker, etc,
		
00:37:42 --> 00:37:42
			etc.
		
00:37:42 --> 00:37:45
			Masjid Love for the last few years has
		
00:37:45 --> 00:37:48
			really stepped in and done great work in
		
00:37:48 --> 00:37:50
			providing relief for these communities.
		
00:37:51 --> 00:37:54
			So please donate generously to Masjid Love.
		
00:37:55 --> 00:37:57
			They will be at the exits on your
		
00:37:57 --> 00:37:58
			way out.
		
00:37:59 --> 00:38:03
			And then also I'm going to ask you
		
00:38:03 --> 00:38:06
			to make dua for a sister of ours
		
00:38:06 --> 00:38:08
			that is very ill.
		
00:38:09 --> 00:38:13
			It is Radia Begum Ahmed.
		
00:38:14 --> 00:38:16
			Radia Begum Ahmed.
		
00:38:17 --> 00:38:20
			She is very ill and we ask Allah
		
00:38:20 --> 00:38:24
			to grant her and all our sick for
		
00:38:24 --> 00:38:29
			all our deceased * and to accept all
		
00:38:29 --> 00:38:30
			of our martyrs.
		
00:38:30 --> 00:38:31
			Ameen.
		
00:38:31 --> 00:38:31
			Ameen.
		
00:38:31 --> 00:38:32

00:41:54 --> 00:41:54
			Ya Rabb.
		
00:41:54 --> 00:41:54
			Ya Rabb.
		
00:42:20 --> 00:42:20
			Ya Rabb.
		
00:42:21 --> 00:42:21
			Ya Rabb.
		
00:42:21 --> 00:42:21
			Ya Rabb.
		
00:42:21 --> 00:42:22
			Ya Rabb.
		
00:42:24 --> 00:42:26
			And remember the favor of Allah upon you
		
00:42:26 --> 00:42:29
			when you were enemies, and He united your
		
00:42:29 --> 00:42:33
			hearts, and you became, by His favor, brothers.
		
00:42:33 --> 00:42:35
			And you were on the edge of a
		
00:42:35 --> 00:42:40
			pit of the Fire, and He saved you
		
00:42:40 --> 00:42:41
			from it.
		
00:42:41 --> 00:42:43
			Thus does Allah make clear to you His
		
00:42:43 --> 00:42:45
			signs, that you may be guided.
		
00:42:47 --> 00:42:49
			And the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah
		
00:42:49 --> 00:42:51
			be upon him, said, Did I not tell
		
00:42:51 --> 00:42:54
			you that fasting, prayer and charity are better?
		
00:42:54 --> 00:42:56
			They said, yes, O Messenger of Allah.
		
00:43:18 --> 00:43:21
			He said, Every son of Adam is a
		
00:43:21 --> 00:43:24
			sinner, and the best of sinners are those
		
00:43:24 --> 00:43:25
			who repent.
		
00:43:55 --> 00:43:57
			And the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah
		
00:43:57 --> 00:44:01
			be upon him, said, Fear Allah wherever you
		
00:44:01 --> 00:44:03
			are, and follow the good path, and you
		
00:44:03 --> 00:44:03
			will pass it.
		
00:44:04 --> 00:44:05
			And create the people with a good heart.
		
00:44:06 --> 00:44:07
			And increase the number of the servants of
		
00:44:07 --> 00:44:08
			Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon
		
00:44:08 --> 00:44:10
			the Master, the Beloved, the Light of the
		
00:44:10 --> 00:44:12
			heart, Muhammad, the healer of the hearts and
		
00:44:12 --> 00:44:14
			their medicine, the healer of the bodies and
		
00:44:14 --> 00:44:15
			their healing, and the light of the eyes
		
00:44:15 --> 00:44:16
			and their light.
		
00:44:16 --> 00:44:19
			Indeed, Allah and His angels send blessings upon
		
00:44:19 --> 00:44:19
			the Prophet.
		
00:44:20 --> 00:44:22
			O you who have believed, send blessings upon
		
00:44:22 --> 00:44:23
			him and his peace and blessings.
		
00:44:23 --> 00:44:24
			O you who have believed, send blessings upon
		
00:44:24 --> 00:44:25
			him and his peace and blessings.
		
00:44:25 --> 00:44:26
			As you have sent blessings upon Ibrahim and
		
00:44:26 --> 00:44:27
			his family.
		
00:44:28 --> 00:44:30
			And bless Muhammad and his family.
		
00:44:30 --> 00:44:32
			As you have blessed Ibrahim and his family.
		
00:44:32 --> 00:44:34
			In all the worlds, you are praised and
		
00:44:34 --> 00:44:36
			glorified, and Allah is pleased with you.
		
00:44:36 --> 00:44:38
			I am the Khalifa Rashid, Abu Bakr, Umar,
		
00:44:38 --> 00:44:39
			Uthman, Ali.
		
00:44:39 --> 00:44:40
			I am Al-Hasan, Al-Husayn, Al-Badr,
		
00:44:41 --> 00:44:41
			Al-Hunayn.
		
00:44:41 --> 00:44:43
			I am the successor of his good and
		
00:44:43 --> 00:44:43
			pure family.
		
00:44:43 --> 00:44:44
			I am the successor of all his companions.
		
00:44:45 --> 00:44:46
			By your mercy, O Most Merciful.
		
00:44:46 --> 00:44:48
			Allahumma Izza al-Islam wa al-Muslimin.
		
00:44:48 --> 00:44:49
			And I am the most exalted by your
		
00:44:49 --> 00:44:49
			favor.
		
00:44:49 --> 00:44:51
			I speak the truth and the religion.
		
00:44:52 --> 00:44:53
			Allahumma, help our brothers in Palestine.
		
00:44:54 --> 00:44:55
			And in Gaza especially, O Lord of the
		
00:44:55 --> 00:44:56
			worlds.
		
00:44:57 --> 00:45:00
			Allahumma, help our brothers the Mujahideen in Gaza.
		
00:45:01 --> 00:45:02
			Allahumma, help them.
		
00:45:03 --> 00:45:05
			Allahumma, throw from them when they throw.
		
00:45:06 --> 00:45:07
			Allahumma, help them.
		
00:45:09 --> 00:45:12
			Allahumma, free Al-Aqsa mosque from their hands.
		
00:45:12 --> 00:45:14
			And grant us a prayer in it, O
		
00:45:14 --> 00:45:15
			Lord of the worlds.
		
00:45:15 --> 00:45:16
			O servants of Allah.
		
00:45:16 --> 00:45:19
			Allah commands justice, goodness, and giving to those
		
00:45:19 --> 00:45:19
			close to Him.
		
00:45:19 --> 00:45:22
			And forbids immorality, evil, and transgression.
		
00:45:22 --> 00:45:24
			He promises you that you will remember.
		
00:45:24 --> 00:45:26
			Stand up for your prayer.
		
00:45:26 --> 00:45:26
			May Allah have mercy on you.
		
00:45:27 --> 00:45:28
			And establish prayer.
		
00:46:19 --> 00:46:27
			I seek refuge with Allah
		
00:46:33 --> 00:46:43
			from Satan, the
		
00:46:43 --> 00:46:44
			accursed.
		
00:47:03 --> 00:47:06
			O you who have believed, fear Allah as
		
00:47:06 --> 00:47:07
			He should be feared.
		
00:47:07 --> 00:47:10
			And you will not die except as Muslims.
		
00:47:11 --> 00:47:13
			And hold fast to the rope of Allah,
		
00:47:13 --> 00:47:15
			all of you, and be not divided.
		
00:47:15 --> 00:47:17
			And remember the favor of Allah upon you
		
00:47:17 --> 00:47:21
			when you were enemies, and He brought your
		
00:47:21 --> 00:47:21
			hearts together.
		
00:47:22 --> 00:47:25
			And you became, by His favor, brothers.
		
00:47:25 --> 00:47:27
			And you were on the brink of a
		
00:47:27 --> 00:47:30
			pit of fire, and He saved you from
		
00:47:30 --> 00:47:30
			it.
		
00:47:30 --> 00:47:33
			Thus does Allah make clear to you His
		
00:47:33 --> 00:47:35
			signs, that you may be guided.
		
00:48:25 --> 00:48:26
			And it is You we worship and You
		
00:48:26 --> 00:48:28
			we ask for help.
		
00:48:28 --> 00:48:31
			Guide us to the straight path, the path
		
00:48:31 --> 00:48:33
			of those upon whom You have bestowed Your
		
00:48:33 --> 00:48:35
			grace, not of those who have incurred Your
		
00:48:35 --> 00:48:38
			wrath, nor of those who have gone astray.
		
00:48:45 --> 00:48:48
			O you who have believed, what is the
		
00:48:48 --> 00:48:49
			matter with you when it is said to
		
00:48:49 --> 00:48:52
			you, In the way of Allah, you have
		
00:48:52 --> 00:48:54
			burdened the earth.
		
00:48:54 --> 00:48:56
			Are you content with the life of this
		
00:48:56 --> 00:48:58
			world compared to the Hereafter?
		
00:48:58 --> 00:49:00
			But the enjoyment of the life of this
		
00:49:00 --> 00:49:03
			world in the Hereafter is but a little.
		
00:49:03 --> 00:49:05
			If you do not go forth, He will
		
00:49:05 --> 00:49:07
			punish you with a painful punishment.
		
00:49:08 --> 00:49:09
			And He will replace a people other than
		
00:49:09 --> 00:49:11
			you, and you will not harm Him at
		
00:49:11 --> 00:49:11
			all.
		
00:49:12 --> 00:49:14
			And Allah is Able to do all things.
		
00:49:14 --> 00:49:25
			Allah is Able to do
		
00:49:25 --> 00:49:25
			all things.
		
00:49:26 --> 00:49:28
			Allah has heard whom He has praised.
		
00:49:45 --> 00:49:56
			Allah, Allah, Allah
		
00:49:56 --> 00:49:57
			is the greatest.
		
00:50:27 --> 00:50:29
			Peace be upon you and the mercy of
		
00:50:29 --> 00:50:29
			Allah.
		
00:50:32 --> 00:50:35
			Peace be upon you and the mercy of
		
00:50:35 --> 00:50:37
			Allah.
		
00:50:42 --> 00:50:43
			I seek forgiveness of Allah, I seek forgiveness
		
00:50:43 --> 00:50:45
			of Allah, I seek forgiveness of Allah, O

			You is the peace.

00:51:39 --> 00:51:41
			of Allah, I seek forgiveness of Allah, O
