Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest.
I bear witness that there is no god
but Allah.
I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger
of Allah.
Come to prayer, come to success.
The prayer has been established, the prayer has
been established.
Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest.
There is no god but Allah.
Say, O people, if you are in doubt
about my religion, then I do not worship
those whom you worship besides Allah, but I
worship Allah, Who takes you in His care,
and I have been commanded to be of
the believers, and to set your face to
the religion, turning away from it, and not
to be of the polytheists.
And do not invoke besides Allah that which
will neither benefit you nor harm you, for
if you do, then you are of the
ignorant.
And if Allah should touch you with harm,
none can remove it except Him, and if
He intends for you to do good, then
turn not to His grace.
He causes it to befall whomsoever of His
servants He wills, and He is the Forgiving,
the Merciful.
Say, O people, the truth has come to
you from your Lord, and whoever is guided
is only guided for his own self, and
whoever is misguided is only misguided for it,
and I am not a guardian over you.
And follow that which is revealed to you,
and be patient until Allah judges, and He
is the Best of Judges.
Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest
All praise is due to Allah, Lord of
the worlds, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful,
Master of the Day of Judgment.
It is You we worship and You we
ask for help.
Guide us to the straight path The path
of those upon whom You have bestowed Your
Grace, not of those who have incurred Your
Wrath, nor of those who have gone astray.
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious,
the Most Merciful.
To Allah is your return, all of you,
and He is Able to do all things.
Unquestionably, they conceal their *, that they may
hide therefrom.
Unquestionably, when they conceal their *, they conceal
their hearts.
He knows what they conceal and what they
reveal.
He knows what is in their *.
There is no creature on earth but that
its provision is with Allah, and He knows
its abode and its abode.
All is in a clear Book.
And it is He who created the heavens
and the earth in six days, and His
Throne was upon the water, that He might
test you as to which of you is
best in deed.
And if you say, Verily, you will be
resurrected after death, those who disbelieve will surely
say, This is nothing but manifest magic.
Allah is the Greatest.
Allah listens to those who praise Him.

Allah is the Greatest In
the beginning, inshallah, tonight we have a special
program for brother Sami Hamdi and Imam Abdul
Malik.
I don't know if he's here or not.
It will be a very good program inshallah
but I mean very beneficial we're going to
talk about the current situation what is going
on in the world and we have inshallah
we're going to talk about the elections and
our Responsibilities as Muslim community inshallah, but I
mean so join us after Salat al-Isha
Brother Sabih Hamdi he came here before and
of course our own dear Imam, Imam Abdul
Malik He's also going to be here inshallah
with us.
We ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to
give us Tawfeeq I mean so surah Yunus
one of the One of the most beautiful
surahs actually if you notice that pretty much
I say that about the whole Quran But
surah Yunus is also very close to my
heart subhanAllah as I recite Each and every
ayah.
I feel like I have a story with
it or I have a personal connection with
it so Starting and we finish surah Yunus
and we started surah Hud We Started with
the story of Pharaoh After Allah subhanahu wa'ta
'ala parted the sea for Pharaoh So
there is a there is a khutba that
I gave before about the psychology of tyrants
The psychology of tyrants and dictators.
It's interesting that they have the same pattern.
They have the same psychology.
There is no difference.
So Firaun alayhi la'anatullah, he sees something
unusual There is an unusual event happening in
front of him.
Okay unusual event meaning that There was a
sea and that sea Basically parted split into
two sides or two pieces All right, and
there is a pathway in the middle.
This is a very unusual event Correct.
Very unusual event It's not like he had
he said that he had said that before
happening somewhere and he knows what was going
to happen Very unusual.
So he sees Musa alayhi salam and his
his followers.
They're passing by passing through it So now
as a tyrant He thinks that or he
thought that everything will always go his way
All right Always meaning that the sea will
continue the unusual event will not change meaning
that the pathway that Musa alayhi salam Created
by the power of Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala
will also stay until Firaun passes by because
I'm Firaun All right, alayhi salam wa'l
kum yusra wa hadhi al anhar wa tajri
min tahti ana rabbukum al a'la All
right, so Firaun thought that it's gonna continue.
Nothing is gonna change All right, although it's
an unusual event So, of course Firaun because
of his ignorance and because of arrogance He
continued and he passed through the pathway, right?
And then what happened?
Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala brought the sea back
together because that is an unusual event.
Firaun, anta majnoon This whatever happened it wasn't
for you.
This kind of things don't happen for you
All right, you can only use humans, but
when it comes to Allah's power Dictators have
nothing to do with it.
So that was clearly for Musa alayhi salam
and his followers.
All right So what would you really why
didn't you just pause and reflect but subhanAllah
ya'na al ghaba'a kama naqul jindu
min jinoodi Allah You know, and I don't
want to say the word But ya'na
ignorance is one of the soldiers of Allah
subhanahu wa'ta'ala meaning that Allah subhanahu wa'ta
'ala makes some people ignore All right, because
that's their own destruction All right, they're ignored
So he passed, you know through that and
Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala put, you know, the
bring the the sea together and Firaun drowned
so now as a tyrant, he just realized
that Everyone around him just obviously not gonna
help him because the tyrant as it happens
and just say Sayyid Qutb as he said,
he said that the tyrant is is a
very weak person They just get their support
from the from the mass who choose to
bend their backs Alright, subhanAllah, you know that
the slaves they bend their backs for their
master so he can step on top of
them So when the when the mass is
not around him when the people who used
to praise him all of a sudden They're
they left him.
I'm not even surprised that some of them
backed out.
They didn't move forward Okay, so what happened?
Firaun drowned.
So now he's looking for her man.
He's looking for everyone around him and looking
for his following Nobody's around him.
Everyone is dying.
They're trying to help themselves.
Okay So what happens after that?
He said khalas.
I need to find a way.
I am Firaun.
I have to survive Qala aamantu anahu la
ilaha illa allathee aamanat bihi banu israeel wa
ana minal muslimeen You know what if you
cannot defeat them you might as well just
need to join them la ilaha illallah So
Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala says in the beautiful
ayah al-ana wa qad asayta qablu wa
kunta minal mufsideen No, it's too late.
And even this subhanAllah the tajweed rule here.
It's madd al-azm Madd al-azm.
What is madd al-azm?
You have to stretch it six counts You
cannot just say al-ana.
Al-ana means now.
All right, but you can see just say
now versus now So look at this descriptive
that's the eloquence of Quran al-ana wa
qad asayta qablu wa kunta minal mufsideen Now
are you coming to to become a mawlana,
a mawlana qawm shaykh right now?
It's too late.
Khalas.
It's over Okay, not only this, fal yawmanu
najeeka bi badanika litakuna liman khalfaka You know
Firaun, your body you're gonna drown.
You're gonna die and this is the worst
kind of death SubhanAllah, that's why it's actually
considered to be a shaheed.
The Prophet, the one who dies in the
sea of drowning basically is shaheed, but not
Firaun, like I have to be a Muslim
first, right?
So You can imagine Firaun will face this
punishment in dunya Fal yawmanu najeeka bi badanika,
we will keep your body So the generations
until the day of judgment will see your
body.
That's Firaun All right, we're not sure if
he's really Ramses II, the mummy that they
have in Egypt now Allah o alam, I
don't know.
I'm not a historian.
Allah o alam, but it could be, right?
So everyone looks, that's Firaun.
Fal yawmanu najeeka bi badanika litakuna liman khalfaka
ayat You're going to be a lesson for
everyone who will come after you Right?
wa inna kathira minal nasi an ayatina laghafilun
Allah gives us signs and alamat and evidences
and all of that But we turn like,
you know, blind eye.
We don't we don't want to see the
signs of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala so
brothers and sisters what we learn here is
is that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has
the power and Dictators and tyrants they have
the same psychology and same pattern literally like
if you read in history, you will just
start laughing It's the same exact pattern.
These people they go to their own destruction
They go to their own death with their
own SubhanAllah, by themselves, by themselves and read
throughout history.
Did you see any tyrant?
That died just a regular death or he
wasn't really cursed by his people after that
Even after they die still the same thing
and if you think some of them are
alive now and this Allah o alam what's
gonna happen still they're going to be You
know The garbage of the history that's the
hikmah of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala from
the from the time of Adam Alayhis Salaam
until the day of judgment.
So when you see them, you know In
the peak of their power and thinking that
I'm a Allah, all right, I can do
whatever we can do.
Whatever, you know this that they're coming to
an end.
Wallahi And again, it doesn't have to happen
in 20 30 50 years.
What is 50 years compared to the SubhanAllah
thousand years, right thousand years and two thousand
years and three thousands.
What is that?
Nothing, you might we might not see them
But the generation will come after that will
definitely see that because this is the Sunnah
of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala That's the
decision and the decree of Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala.
It's a way of Allah subhanahu wa ta
'ala Dictators will be humiliated in dunya and
of course will be humiliated in the hereafter
There is so many other lessons we can
learn from Surah Yunus We ask Allah subhanahu
wa'ta'ala to allow us to understand the
Hikmah and the deep reflections and Hikmah of
the Quran Allahumma amina qulu qawli hadha wa
astaghfirullah li walakum jazakumullahu khayran barakallahu feekum Just
