And there is Muslim youth leaving Islam
as a serious issue, am I right?
Today,
I gave Shahada to you know, everybody's like, you know, a new Muslim Allahu Akbar, he accepted Islam, I guess. Lately, I've been giving Shahada to all Muslims.
Can you imagine
when people left Islam?
And um, you know, we've tried to bring them back. We're giving Shahada to all Muslims, somebody who left Islam
and is coming back.
But they are few.
Those who come in back are few.
You know, according to the studies has been done.
Every three years, every two, three years, that average youth average Muslim youth are leaving Islam.
What percentage do you think that would be? is a 2% percent of our youth?
Is it three? Give me a number I want to share with you give me a number
10 5%? No, I want more more than 515 more

24% of Muslim youth are leaving Islam.
Now let me let me go down to our level.
Imagine, imagine you have 100,000 Muslims living in this city, 100,000 of them.
And 24% of them
are killed every year.
Would you do something about it?
Would you be concerned and say well, 24% of our youth being killed this year? 2019. We got to do something about this as a community
24% which means 24,000.
Muslims, am I right?
But we don't do anything about it.
However, in London, if someone is stabbed is a Muslim is stabbed or somebody running up behind some with the knife. The media is all over Muslim community, they are on fire. And everybody's like somebody's monsters being killed. Guess what? You just lost 24,000 of your youth. And nobody even pray janazah on them.
So I want to talk about something that's very important here.
See, for many years that I was being coming to this country,
I've been noticing that our youth and by the way, I gotta clarify this. The youth are leaving Islam, not the drop out. The youth are leaving Islam and the university students.
I mean, well to do students, you know, successful students.
So what should we do since I've been noticing this increase every year? Now listen to me.
Well, botlane fallstudien truth, always, you know, they will be head to head fighting one another until the sun until the Yama
and the schilke the enemies of Allah and I'm not talking about certain raise certain country, you know, those who do not want faith. They employ every resource that they have to make sure that everyone is a disbeliever.
Everyone.
Now,
at the time of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam. The biggest challenge that he faced was the biggest challenge was, you know, machete king.
Did he not believe in the messenger overlying the message of the messenger overlock
they didn't.
They were against it.
Remember? Alas, meanwhile, in
a last minute, it was one of the chiefs of the Irish.
And he rejected Islam and the idea of life in a year after and the idea of God that would judge me for what I did on what I'm doing, you know, he was he was rejecting it.
So he came to the messenger overloaded with old bones, all you know, decade bones
and he's sitting in front of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam fukaya. Mohammed, act as an Arab burqa, you had a brother and a matter is a young Mohammed Are you claiming that your Lord will bring life to this after it after the turn into this for colony via Samba lohani? You are sending them now? Will you the phaedo cannot Yes. And you're going to be from the people of now. of January.
Allah subhanho wa Taala said, what better way than a metal onesie
on him and you?
Were here? I mean, can you hear
me the respond came from Allah.
This man was talking to Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and as soon as I spoke, the revelation revelation is spoke but our children when they dealing with this situation, they don't have what it takes to stand on the ground.
I want to go over because my time is very limited only have a short time. I want to go a few steps to see how we are our youth can challenge this, you know, fits into this problem.
First thing that we need to do as Muslims
we must learn we must increase our Eman.
Young people I want you to listen to this. You come into Salatin Juma Are you coming to the Minister for a show you're coming for Muslim not understanding what the Imam is reciting that will not increase your EMA.
The reason that we are Eman is increased because when Allah subhanho wa Taala is talking to us through the Quran. We understand what Allah is telling us on my attesa aniba a loving lady whom fee we understand because we study Arabic. So when we praying behind the Imam and the Imam is reciting, I can reflect to those who speak ever they can reflect. And then the man can increase.
But if you know nothing about your religion, you hardly understand the meaning of the Quran, the meaning of the Fatiha, you physically there, but your heart is not there.
You're going to be studying for 10 minutes, making motions going up and down. But you cannot really, really, really benefit from the prayer unless you understand the meaning of the prayers. Not only that the medicine Jehovah law said, as soon as you as soon as the Adhan cough, there's a certain shade on that cannot hear the other end, and he flies away. He runs away from the other end. And then when the karma comes, he comes back between the other in the karma when the karma comes, he also runs away. And then as soon as you see a law cover, he says I'm right here.
His name is Honza
the Chapin says a law and you say Allahu Akbar and the shaitaan says, I'm right here.
And then his job is to distract you from your Salah. Now if you speak if you understand what the Imam is saying, if you understand what some hanabi Alavi means, what Subhan Allah Allah means then you can concentrate otherwise shaytaan this shaytan can take you out of your Salah with no efforts
so the first thing that if you want to challenge it, this difficulties that we find in fighting is you got to increase your email, how should I increase my email? Not only knowing when the email is saying but increased you know if and, and you also every one of us may email what increases my email. It is not necessarily increases your Eman? Maybe my Eman can be increased just you know fasting. Maybe your email when you fast does not increase but it when you pray it increases and
You when you read the karate increases, and you when you give sadaqa increases, so each one of us must find what increases his or her email.
And when your email is strong in Washington comes to you.
You won't be able to shake.
The Sahaba is a Muslim.
In the book of Muslim, the Sahaba of Nabi sallallahu, alayhi wa sallam, they said Yara Salalah
sometimes what comes to our minds are things that we cannot even say it about Allah we can say it. We So shame that these thoughts are coming to our hearts and our minds. What should we do? What is the Messenger of Allah to those Sahaba?
Did you really find that in your heart that when you have these things and these doubts in your heart and in your mind you can you cannot even express it? They said yes, Allah Danica sorry, her email, he said that is a true email.
What does it mean? It means as min shaitaan will come to you and will make you doubt your own religion.
shaitaan will come to you and He will tell you this beautiful butterflies, Mbit butterfly, Masha, Allah, Masha, Allah is so beautiful, colorful, who created and you immediately will say in your mind, Allah, and so beautiful. It's Tallis landing on on flowers, who create the flowers. And in your mind, say Allah and see who created this beautiful planet and in your mind, and he's saying Allah who created the universe, Allah and then at the end, it was your turn will tell you and who created a law?
If you find that in your heart,
the messenger overlaps and you are true men.
Your true movement because Satan is trying to shake your core of your Eman. So what should we do if that comes to us? Pardon me you sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam you say amen to biller, I believe in the law. Keep repeating. I believe in the law, I believe in the law or the law, I believe in the law and the shaitaan will leave you alone.
He will leave you alone. So we have to have the second
we got to study the aqidah the D the curve the core of your Eman what is aptina what is creed?
It means it will teach you who is Allah? What is Allah? What are the angels? What are the Quran? Every child knows the five pillars of Islam. Every child knows the six pillars of Eman but we really don't know them well enough. So as a movement, you need to learn each one of them by and our increase your Eman, be evening subhanho wa Taala
The third thing
you have to come to Islam fully you cannot be a part time Muslim.
You can you can afford to be a part time Muslim.
You can't be a good Muslim during the lecture days because you know your favorite shift is here. You just you know and then after you go back home, you go back to your normal life sisters you can't just come to the masjid with a job but when you go to school when you go back to your you know work you can't you're not allowed to take to have that personality.
You can
you got to come a law said oh who you believe come to Islam complete.
You can't say I'm here Muslim, but I'm here I'm British.
I'm here can Muslim but I'm here Canadian. No, you're Muslim here. And you are Muslim here and you Muslim there and you Muslim there you can't be a Muslim 24 seven and your religion will not contradict the law of the land that you own. It won't
we got to stop being a part time Muslims.
We have to come to the Islam completely we have to accept if a law says such thing such as such which you say it's not we walk on and we hear and we obey. It's not like I want to you know practice Islam based on what I think how I feel does not work with the deen of Allah subhanho wa Taala Allah subhana wa tada into Islam completely not partial
number of
For as Muslims, we got to learn the source of Islam.
What are the sources of Islam? Where's the first one?
What is it?
Did you see a Buddhist constitution?
What is the first one?
Or on?
That's the first one. So what is the answer? Such and such we follow us. That's the first thing. What is the second thing?

for Wisner
to live in a mercy road used to say termasuk Saku be Sonata man mobile for England Hi. He say hold on to the son of those who passed away because the living one is not saved from the fitna.
So hold on to the son of the Sahaba of Nabi sallallahu, alayhi wasallam.
So we have completely the
number five
avoid positions
of fitna and doubts. Let me tell you this, let me let me elaborate, elaborate on this.
If there's an area that you confuse about it, get out of it.
And don't try to figure out yourself. I'll tell you a story here.
There is this little girl What is she's not literally she went to university.
This girl Tabata cola from Canada, from my city. She never went to public school
from first day until she went to university she was going to Islam schools.
And then she saw a course that has been presented be giving or being you know, it was available at the university.
And the course said Islam one on one, what comes to your mind when he Islam one on one, simple stuff, you know, probably teaching, you know, five pillars of Islam in her mind. She said, I thought what I know five pillars of Islam, probably gonna teach you and if I can read Arabic, so she thought she can really get good marks in this course.
She signed up for the class. Her teacher
was so called ex Muslim.
Ex Muslim.
She has Tafseer of the Koran hair on tafsir of the Quran.
Bigger than Tafseer from the Casio.
She has an own subset of the Quran.
She is giving the students in the class this is your references
online, the library of the university Come on take a copy of a read.
And she's teaching everything that is not Islamic and the little girl. She says but that's not Islam. But that's not Islam. And the teacher was the printer the professor would say no, no, no, no yo is now is that Islam is thought he
is a service Islam. What I'm teaching is the truth.
Everything that she taught in the class was women have no rights.
Islam does not like non Muslims. Islam is a religion of you know, terrorism. Everything I see so called Muslim.
hijab is now part of Islam.
cm is now part of Islam. Women can lead the salon in the men gathering the men and women together. Women can so she confused this little girl
And you know what? these professors who's doing this, they are trained to confuse this young people. They are trained to confuse these children, these children and our children don't have the background, they don't have the information to maneuver around this confusion.
They don't have that they not trained to debate with such a high caliber professors that their job is to confuse these young people. And that's why we have over 24% of our Muslim youth leaving Islam
so if you want to do something, you got to stay away from a mark in a shuba stay away from a places of doubt, because that's the only way you can save your DMV subhanho wa Taala.
Number six
read books from a reliable sources. If you want to know Adam and Eve the unseen world then read the books that are authentic books that is talking about the unseen world where the angels with a gentleman with Jenna you know the unseen world
and they can clarify your doubts concerning that'd be it needs some hands on with Donna.
If you have issue of the Quran, because in the Quran, we have certain is that has been abrogated.
abrogation means you know, the hokum that the ayah is carrying is no longer applicable. For example,
when it comes to consuming alcohol, the first ayah Allah subhanho wa Taala Allah said yes, yes Luna Canyon hungry well Mason, only female Islam Kavita woman after only nurse, they asking you about, you know, alcohol and gambling, tell them there's a great harm and benefit for mankind. This is just the beginning.
But the Sahaba keep drinking it. And then Allah said, what a taco salata antem sakara Do not be near the Salah, while you're in the state of intoxication. Now this ayah abrogated the previous ayah
and then the third time a law came as it fell into moonta. Who you must desist drinking alcohol, which is now the third eye upgrading the abrogated the second eye which abrogated the first I caught a nasty one man soon in the science of
now our students they don't know these things, these professors will say look, there's a contradiction in your arm
is saying this but here is saying this and here is saying that
the next ayah that confused this young lady was the I A simple idea. When Allah subhana wa tada said in the Quran, what is going on in Morocco, it is truly Adam or faceva do when we say to the angels, Prostrate to Adam, and they did
and they said, well, it leaves your Koran is saying a lease
is an angel.
But how come in another part of the Quran? Your Quran is saying Leia Sana Mohammed amerihome way of Aruna Maja Maroon, they don't disobey the Creator.
That little girl she had to drop the course. Because she was so confused. She said I'm afraid to lose my Deen
small girl but a lot of our youth they cruise in this fitness of the day they lose that they
lost point.
As a young man as a young lady who is living in that confusion
in that fitna make a lot of
and Allah subhanho wa Taala will give you the strength that you need.
Make a lot of
because the one that guides is not your knowledge. It's not your smartness. It's not your cleverness is Allah subhanahu wa Tada. So every time you get confused about something, every time you find yourself in a state of challenge, you know, just upgrade yourself to the level of the law and say I'm going to make the law and Allah will guide me out of this and Allah subhanho wa Taala will never disappoint you. May Allah subhanho wa Taala reward you for this is our common law.
