We witness there's nothing we have worship but Allah. We bear witness

Allah ma elders, brothers and sisters, I can't say youth because
many of the youth are for exams, and of course many of the staff
and students. So you see a mosque is half empty, or more five or 600
of them have gone to either hole after the exam or have gone to the
janazah of one of our teachers here and the brother of our chef.
Chef Ward has passed away as you know, for the agenda.
So I greet all of you all Amma elders, brothers and sisters, with
the Islamic universal greeting of peace, may the peace the mercy and
the blessings of Allah be upon each and everyone present here. A
Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.
Each and every human being, by virtue of being human, is
considered as honorable in the estimation of Allah.
And this is evident from the Quranic verse Welaka, Karana, Bani
Adam.
And within that, Bernie are them within the larger human family of
humanity. They exist, this fertility does equal,
constituting what you call a an ummah, a global community of
faith,
a faith
who's following followers.
Those who trade in the past and the dean of Muhammad and all the
prophets who came before them before him, peace be upon them,
adherence to an ideology, a philosophy of living, a practical
religion, a concrete way of life,
which was implemented throughout history by various Prophets, peace
of Allah be upon them.
And we are
designated as the hero, the best of community
who collegiately nasty evolved for humanity.
And we are intended to be an automaton was a little cuckoo
shahada, the nurse. We intended to be a balance community. We are
meant to be a median community, and exemplary community that
serves as a standard and a model for the rest of humanity as
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa aalihi he was, is a standard and a
model for all of us and for all of humanity.
It is in the absence of that balance
of the Ovid moderation
that you find extremism may creep in and was of the Ummah and
waterfall is supposed to be an antidote to what we call in
Arabic, Hulu, or excessiveness, the knockoff harshness, the
shutdown, severity, and of course, the third roof, the
power seeks to attract
people.
This era was the team
emphasizing justice
and Islam, which is a civilizational force, a way of
life that is perpetually enhancing Islam is morally uplifting. It is
socially relevant, and it's universally applicable, if not
more suitable, for at a particular time,
more suited to the Meccans of Rasulullah than it is to the
community living in Switzerland today. It is applicable
universally applicable
ritually enhancing, uplifting, socially relevant.
And we as
individuals, give us
the responsibility of reflecting Islam,
which has
is
a program for spiritual development.
Its emphasis on sincere devotion, the observance of divine
guidelines and commandments, implementation of the prophetic
example of the Sunnah, concern for the environment as a whole,
focusing on the reform of human society, emphasizing on justice
for all and empowering all every every dimension of human
potential. And therefore, this notion of well of Kanagawa Bani
Adam, Muhammad now
what has happened now homeopathy, but this verse of the Quran to be
it makes reference that Allah has honored the progeny of Adam. And
if Allah acknowledges as the divine, that he honors
the Children of Adam, which we call the creme de la vie insaan
how Allah the divine honors the human being, that it is necessary
for us to have a criminal insanity lepsy that we also in keeping with
the Sunnah of Allah that we also respect our humaneness in our
humanity.
as living beings, we realize that life is dynamic
and so is human society. And one of the characteristics of dynamism
is that it generates differences, perspectives, attitudes,
understandings, cultures, traditions. And of course, these
any form of difference has a tendency at times to generate some
degree of friction.
And
while we try to safeguard the right to defer to question to
dissent, even to protest, we must at the same time strive secure
that our differences in every sphere with a religious,
philosophical, scientific, social, economic, political, all of these
should cause us to act and react beneficially and not
destructively.
Image and understand Islam that we have
recent international hedge funds, recent international headlines
really reflect a totally different image of Islam and Muslims from
the one that I have just described.
The blatant negative image
of Muslims and what Islamic governments are
from the apparent disappearance of the Saudi journalist, Jamal
Khashoggi has tremendous damage to the image of Islam and Muslims.
Turkish officials say 50 Saudis flew in to Istanbul
in the time and period just before the disappearance of Khashoggi
who's, by the way, a Saudi a Madani advisor to the former king,
and a Washington journalist.
And they claim to have audio recordings where he is being
interrogated, and even tortured and murdered. Allah knows best.
But all of us affect, especially for two reasons, among others,
why?
Because the alleged perpetrators of killing in a consular office
was said to be have been done with a knowledge of a regime that rules
over our sacred sites. It looks any country. I don't have to. I
don't have to go to Bangladesh. I don't have to go to Jordan. I love
Egypt. I don't have to go to Egypt. I don't have to go to Iran
or Iraq. But haram Khamenei is in Makkah and Medina is in Saudi ends
in Saudi Arabia, the only country named after a family by the way.
People who are in charge of our sacred sites, who are supposed to
be the poster image or what should be our rule would be. So that's
our first concern. Because when we condemn what happens in Israel, we
condemn all designers and those who are inclined towards them. We
don't say it's one government, all the people that don't like that.
So when others do it to us, we should be equally acceptable and
accepting of kind of mental, no, that is accurate. But this is the
this is
the land of Holy Land, which you all go
Oh, and by the way, which is a $220 billion a year in the
Secondly,
and
myself, especially our today's good work, if this is done to a
Saudi, in a country that, you know, a consulate or a embassy is
protected by the Vienna Convention, it is the safest place
on earth. That if a person goes into embassy
and asked for protection, even if he's not from the country, and the
embassy accepts him or her as a refuge
provides him with refuge, not even the government of the country can
come into the office, if they want to, they need permission. That's
why it took 12 days before the Turkish could put the foot. So the
controller is a safer space, anywhere in the world for people
politically, is to go into a country. And then you are killed
by the people who are supposed to be your countrymen, the ones who
would most likely defend you from all the people in the world. What
do you think could happen to people like us, when you go for
edge, you can get missing my friend, and nobody would know it.
You expect your own to protect you.
It's America shock Jesus, oh, these American lives in America.
But he is a Saudi,
from Medina.
For my advisor, he looked at monarchy by the way he's entered
into the conference, but he's a pro monarchy by the way, Iran. So
if this insider could be killed, God forbid what could happen to
any of us?
You see,
they say logger car toss a bunch casualty. Hey, how many pools is a
conquer? But what says people are afraid, avoiding the phone so they
don't get hurt? I've been stung by the prick of the of the rose
itself. In other words, the one that you least expect to harm you
is the one who has damaged you.
It's not the first time people. A prime minister of a foreign
country was held hostage one year for one month last year in Saudi
Arabia, Minister Hadi resort or the lady of Lebanon
and made to resign and then sent back.
People have gone missing or being abducted besides outside people.
Prince will come in 30 was abducted from jail and taken
place to keep in banderas out. So be safe and NASA is still missing
by the way.
Then in 2017 November 16, Sr 60 senior figures 49 high ranking
individuals, including 11 Princess, and if you want some
names, Prince AlWaleed bin Talal Nephi of Saudi King, owner of the
force, which we go through for those who have the money. Press
Matteo bin Abdullah, the last son of the late King Abdullah Ibrahim
Asif, former finance minister, our economist minister, press, Turki
bin Abdullah, governor of Riyadh ex minister and businessman,
as well as other people like Salah Abdullah Kamille, the founder of
Al Baraka bank, Ibrahim Al Asif, former Finance Minister of Saudi
Arabia, and director of Aramco Khalid Abdullah bin Abdullah Al mo

Ali Al Omari, among other people,
shift number was executed.
So, it's not far fetched.
But a large number of practicing Muslims don't say anything about
this, not because of the regime, but because they fear that they
may be denied programming. And don't forget some of our free
tickets to go for Hajj and Umrah annually. Some silence is bought,
thank God are handling live many faults of my own. I've never taken
a single cent from the Saudis at any time.
So we got off the phone and attack and it's silence. Where all those
outrage. The worst humanitarian crisis present is in Yemen. Go see
UNICEF. Go see UN reports. There's no football given about Yemen.
It is politically not appropriate. Suddenly, religiously. We are
quiet. It's part of our hypocrisy.
Cries
we are the condemnation, the image of Islam with a stick
Don't even go to the Yemen war infection figures.
I would have gone more into detail with that Bhutan does not permit
we are saddened by the passing of
Chef odd, who was called Imam with me many years ago at gatesville
Masjid Al Quds, he's still there. A colleague here with me he was a
student of mine as well.
A teacher here at Islamia. He has passed on
a young man
very strong. Black Belt is always teasing with that.
It's not yesterday.
We were intending and we're still in shock by having for him against
awareness foundation programs that will launch this weekend here.
The guys will Majid is doing it but we have no idea.
But the brother is no more he passed away in his Janaza will be
after mine for those. Some people may want to rush and go to Gabriel
masjid, the Juma will be done immediately after Juba. And for
those who may not be able to go because of the traffic and we will
be having Slagel haber for those who want to, after the Sooners,
Allah you can remain behind it will do that. And perhaps we can
go to start if you want to after that. But I want us to reflect on
the death.
We know that kulula sins are equal to remember that each and every
living thing must die. Eventually.
There is no avoidance of birth or death. There's no avoidance, you
don't choose your birth. And there is the reality of death,
avoidance of birth or death, except to utilize the interval
between birth and death in an effective manner. That's what life
is all about. Under the follicle Motol, higher Lea blue akamba You
can ask
and
not make this world a permanent place.
That this is a temporary world and everything here is finite, in all
things have a time limit
other good things forever. No other bad things eternal.
But faith does not prevent death. This is a reality of life. As a
poet says zindagi mocha Bahasa life isn't excused death is a
reality.
But faith does provide a philosophy of living faith
desperate or grief in perspective.
It emphasizes the reality of life and the inevitability of death in
the larger context of our existence, and that is why
patience is so strongly emphasized as a means of coping with the
trials and tribulations of daily living. And therefore, the overall
Quranic reminder will enable one Nagambie che immunol hope he will
do or will not cause him in the world he will unfussy with a lot
of machinery soybean.
Sure, you will be tested you must be tested, prophets are tested and
they were the best of people, the Sahaba were tested, the families
of the Prophets, peace, all the profits and blessings upon all the
companions and families who follow them, be sure that you shall be
tested with some form of fear, some form of hunger, some loss of
property, some loss of life, loss of the fruits of your labor, but
glad tidings to those who perceive

thought.
Whether it be our feeling for those who have been oppressed and
killed, whether in prisons or wherever, those who are victims of
oppression and injustice. Whether it be the passing of our brother,
Chef Art, nothing affirms our humanity, more than our capacity,
to empathize. Nothing affirms our human
our capacity, to have love and compassion and feeding to
empathize. It is this frame of heart that enables us to feel the
agony of the pain experienced by others and to treat others as we
ourselves would like to be treated as the Sufis say, Oh Allah, that
people treat me tomorrow, the way I have treated them today, be you
the one who sets the standard for others
