and abduhu or salahu Bill happy Bashir and when Iran, may
you to Allah rasulallahu, Faka, dalasha, wama, yasahi wa larula,
Hassan a Allah
subhanahu wa taala, brothers and sisters. Allah subhana Taala says
in the Quran
that, Oh Allah, increase me in knowledge. And this is for people
who are striving towards it, people who want to seek knowledge.
Allah imposes an obligation for us to seek knowledge, first in
quantum letter Alamo. And if you don't know, ask the people of
knowledge, gain it, seek it. Now as Quran, when contaminably
laminar rafilin Allah in the Quran says that he tells you stories in
the beginning of Surat Yusuf so that you might know what came
before you. Because before you are from the rafilin, those who are
unaware of what came before, and if you don't know what came
before, you cannot determine how to move forward.
The reason why I start with this year ibad Allah is because it is
clear that as the monopoly on the narrative is broken by the
Zionists, there is a pushback that seems to accuse Muslims and Islam
of anti semitism, and it seems to be gathering some sort of pace in
recent.
And times, and the ones who call Islam or Muslims anti semitics,
are those who do not know history. So give me some of your time here,
ibad Allah, to go through some very brief points of history that
demonstrate beyond doubt that the sanctuary for the Jewish and El Al
Kitab was always Islam and not the other way. Ibad Allah the Prophet
Muhammad, sallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam, entered Medina. And when
he entered Medina, he established what was called the covenant of
Medina, in which he said to the Jewish population, very bluntly
and put it on a piece of paper, he said to them that Whoever
oppresses you, we will stand with you. Against them. Whoever goes
against your rights, we will stand with you to restore them, and we
expect vice versa. And they agreed, and they lived together
with their army. The Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu, alayhi wa
sallam, did not come to subjugate them, but rather establish a
system of a haven and Sanctuary. And it is for this reason that
when Omar ibn Al Khattab entered Jerusalem, he followed the example
of the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, based on the
Ayla Qatar rasulallah that there is an example for you in the
Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, before Omar Al Khattab
entered Jerusalem, the Jews had been kicked out by the Romans. The
Romans had persecuted them. The Romans had slaughtered many of
them. The Romans had driven many of them from their homes. The
Romans had done to them abuse after abuse. But when Omar Al
Khattab entered Jerusalem, one of the first things that he does is
he guarantees haven for the Jews and lets them return to Jerusalem
because he is aware that the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam did not come with a vendetta for the Jews, but came as
a mercy to all of mankind to afford them their rights and an
environment through which they might hear the Dawah, and if they
choose not to listen to it, their rights are still preserved. This
is Islam. This is what the Prophet sallallahu, alayhi wa sallam
preached. This is what Omar Al Khattab upheld. But when the
Crusaders came into Jerusalem years later, the Crusaders, the
anti semitics, the Crusaders, they came into Jerusalem and massacred
70,000 Muslims and Jews. They entered Jerusalem and massacred
without mercy.
When salah, Haddin ayyubi re entered Jerusalem. Later, Salah al
Din ayyubi was inspired by the Prophet Muhammad, sallAllahu,
Alam, inspired by umm khatali Allahu Taala and so when salah,
hadil ayubi entered Jerusalem, one of the first things that he does
is he reestablishes the rights of the Jews. He removes the laws of
abuse imposed by the anti semitic Crusaders, and he provides for
them a haven and an environment of sanctuary whereby they return to
Jerusalem, and when they are stunned and shocked at salah, aen,
and they say to him, yes, Salah. Haden ayubi, when the Crusaders
came. They massacred 70,000 here. Why aren't you doing the same? And
he replies, they are not. My teachers
in Europe, one of, objectively,
the greatest examples touted by non Muslims of coexistence between
the religions is Andalusia of Europe.
Andalusia ruled by the descendants of the Umayyads, by Abdul Rahman,
the first and beyond
established Andalusia that produced the likes of cortova and
these others, which became golden age cities, lights of learning,
the Jews and the Christians found haven in Andalusia under the
Muslim rule.
When Isabella of Spain took advantage of the Muslims falling
out between themselves, Isabella marched with her army and she
began what was called the Spanish Inquisition in the name of
Christianity, she entered Andalusia and she kicked out
Muslims and Jews once again Europe,
in the same way that the Romans had kicked out the Jews of
Jerusalem, in the same way the Crusaders came again, kicked out
the Jews from Jerusalem. Here was Isabella of Spain coming and
driving out the Jews once more,
the Jews when they had nowhere to go, when Isabella was bearing down
on them and massacring them, the Jews on the shores, they found
ships ready to receive them. The ships were sent by Sultan Suleiman
of the Ottomans.
Sultan Suleiman was inspired by the prophet muhammad sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam to rescue and give haven to the Jews. He was
inspired by umm Abu Khattab, Radha Allah and to rescue and give haven
to the Jews. He was inspired by Salah di ayubi To rescue and give
haven to the Jews. And Sultan Suleiman sent those ships to
receive the Jews, and they came. They lived with the Ottomans. And
in the words of the Israeli historian at Cambridge.
Avi shleim, he says that our history with the Muslims is one of
peaceful coexistence. It cannot be said that we suffered anti
semitism under the Muslims. The anti semitism always came from
Europe.
Ibad Allah, know your history.
Europe came up with one of the worst forms of torture that in the
Muslim history, we have no equivalent. Europe loaded up Jews
in gas chambers and gassed them to death while partying outside of
those gas chambers, they killed 6 million Jews, something that
Muslim history has no equivalent, by any stretch of the imagination.
But the Jews who know their history, because Jews are
different from Zionists, the Jews who know their history, the ones
you see doing the sitting in the Congress in favor of Philistine,
the ones you see join you on your protest, the ones who are loudest
in defending Philistine, the ones who come out and defend the rights
of the Palestinians, those Jews who know their history, they knew
where to go to find sanctuary after Europe brutalized them again
in the Warsaw program in Poland and in the Holocaust committed by
the anti semitic Europeans, they knew where to go for sanctuary,
because in their history, they knew that there is a place. There
are a people on this earth that every single time we fled to them,
they gave us sanctuary. Every single time we fled to them, they
gave us Haven. Every single time we fled to them, they gave us our
rights. Every single time we fled to them, they gave us our justice.
Every single time we fled to them, we lived with them peacefully.
Every single time we fled to them, we thrived as a community. Every
single time we fled to them, they would always welcome us with open
arms, because their Prophet, sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam came
for as a messenger from the Lord upon high and said, Be just wala
yashri, mennakum, Shana ano komen ala tadi Lu ho Akka ra that they
are a people who are taught that even if you dislike somebody, be
just in your dealings with them, for Allah loves the justice. They
are a people who are taught that justice is the foundation of all
dominion. They are people who tell stories that Ali ibn Abi Talib
RadiAllahu, Anhu in a court case against the Jew, when the judge
referred to Alibaba Talib, as Abel Hassan gave him Kunia to elevate
him. Ali bin Abi Talib became angry, and the judge said to him,
yeah, Ali, why are you angry? And Ali Abu Talib said, You called me
by Kunia to elevate me, but called my opponent by his ordinary name.
This is not justice. Either call us both by Kunia or both by our
ordinary names the Jews who knew their history, they knew where to
go after anti semitic Europe, for the fifth time in history, commits
a horrible, horrible atrocity against them. Where did they come?
Here? Ibad Allah. They came in the boat to Palestine, and they
unveiled the banners. Yeah. Ibad Allah, Oh Muslim. Mean, please
don't do to us what the Europeans did to us.
Rabat Allah,
Avi Shlaim, the Israeli historian, says that the only there is no
real problem between the Muslims and the Jews, and there never has
been. The problem is between Zionism and justice. The problem
is between Zionism, which wrongfully took land that belongs
to another people and seized it for themselves. Ibad Allah, now
there is a campaign going insisting that Muslims have always
been anti semitic, but here, ibad Allah, how many of you know this
history of yours, this glorious, proud history inspired by our
beloved prophet, Muhammad, sallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam, ibad
Allah, they are coming out and saying that this is a vendetta
between the Muslims and the Jews. But every time the Jews came to
the Muslim lands, when was there? Was there ever vendetta between
the Muslims and the Jews? Know your history, ibad Allah. Ibad
Allah, know that when the Zionists come out with these assertions
trying to twist their history, there is a reason that they do so,
because the truth is frightening. The truth is terrifying, the truth
that might come out and force people to read about their
history. Anybody who opens the book, as we're seeing today, when
we're raising our voice for Palestine and more people are
reading about Philistine those who yesterday believe the Zionist
propaganda today are opening the books and saying, hang on a
second. The books say the complete opposite of what you have been
insisting. And this awakening is what's forcing the polls to
change. What's making under 35 in Americans now, according to the
polls, become pro Palestinian. That makes Kamala Harris stand
with the Zionist, but her daughter raise money for Philistine. That
is causing that shift, because Allah says, Is there any better
speech? Woman Assan Allah, is there any better speech than one
who calls to Allah, calls to what is right, does good deeds, goes
out and raise awareness, goes out and speaks out wakala In the name
mean and Muslim mean that these acts that we did, this haven, we
provided, this sanctuary that we provide.
Biden the fact that the only other city in Europe that is called the
Jerusalem of Europe is Sarajevo of Bosnia. Because when the Muslims
ruled Sarajevo, they made it a haven for them religions to live
side by side. When Ali az bagovich, the Bosnian president
who led Bosnia through a bitter war, where the Serbs committed
genocide when Ladd went into Srebrenica and said, today is the
day we take revenge on the Muslims, these Muslims who
converted our brethren to Islam. But when Muslims left, when the
Ottomans left, they wouldn't give up Islam. They kept saying, la
illAllah Muhammad Rasulullah. If that's the case, let's wipe them
out with a genocide. Aliyah is that begovich, who was abandoned
when the UN arms embargo was imposed, Russia kept giving
weapons to Serbia. You, some of you celebrate Russia. Remember,
Russia is the one that gave the arms to Serbia to commit the
genocide against the Bosnians. When Croatia was receiving arms
from Europe, only the Muslims were the ones on which the arms embargo
was banned. But at the end of the Bosnian war, Aliyah Izzet begovich
was asked, What is the greatest symbolism of the war, if you had
to choose one, and do you know what he said? Ya ibad Allah.
Aliyah Izzy begovich of Bosnia, inspired by the Prophet Muhammad,
sallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam, inspired by Salah hadil ayubi,
inspired by Omar Abu Khattab, Allah anhu, inspired by Sultan
Suleiman, inspired by the Palestinians who took in the Jews
after the Holocaust. He said, notice in Bosnia today how many
minarets they destroyed. Find me one church or synagogue the
Muslims touched.
They destroyed the minarets, but Allah wouldn't allow us to touch
their synagogues and their churches.
They said to Ali Aziz begovich, where this European tolerance of
yours is magnificent, he said, it's not a European tolerance.
European tolerance is holocaust. European tolerance is genocide.
European tolerance is the abuse that you inflicted on the Jews
with your anti semitism, my tolerance comes from Islam, from
the Prophet Muhammad, sallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam, who inspired a
trend throughout history where we are the haven of the oppressed. We
are the ones who stand for justice. We are the ones who
provide the environment where those that you persecute can come
and find sanctuary. Abadallah, know your history. Aba ALA, know
the magnificence of this Deen, and know that when they push the
second narrative, which is that these Muslims are * bent on
revenge against us, tell them we are not Muslims of revenge. We are
Muslims of justice. Because when the Prophet Muhammad, sallAllahu,
alayhi wa sallam entered Mecca, and hind stood in front of him.
Hindu had cut open the body of Hamza RA and ate his liver.
Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam did not punish her. He
forgave her and let her go, because the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam was more interested in the establishment of
justice than he was in revenge. When the Prophet Muhammad
Sallallahu, alayhi wa sallam stood in the final khutbah. In khutbah
till Wada, he told the tribes, let go of your feuds and your revenge,
and I will be the first one. I ask my tribe, my relatives, they will
be the first to let go of all of their feuds and revenge. Because
this is not a dean of revenge. This is a deen of justice. The
Zionists want an ethnically cleansed area. We are the Muslims
who always upheld coexistence. We have a rich history of it, and
that's what we push. We push for justice, the right of return, the
right of Palestinians to get their homes back, to get their lands
back. We don't believe in an ethnically cleansed area the way
the Zionists do. We don't have a history of genocide, the way the
Zionists do. We don't have a history of extermination the way
the Zionists do. We are a people of justice who are only demanding
justice while they are demanding oppression, ethnic cleansing and
genocide. Ibad Allah, well tester with Hassan, a to Wales, say, the
good and the bad are not equal. If they call for revenge and
extermination. We do not call for the same. When they call for
genocide and ethnic cleansing. We do not call for the same for the
good and the bad are not equal. Our teacher is the Prophet
Muhammad Sallallahu, alayhi wa sallam, and that is why ya ibad
Allah. We preach justice. We demand justice, irrespective of
who it belongs to. We are not a people of revenge. We are a people
of justice, because Ibn Khaldun said, Al Abu Asmaa, justice is the
foundation of Dominion ibad Allah. I leave you with this point. The
reason that there is so much panic now from the Zionist is because
when your dawah was heard, when it was loud, you shifted public
opinion you affected the polls. Now no one knows what will happen
in November. Now no one knows why opinions are changing. No one
knows why these youths are coming out becoming pro Palestinian.
They're becoming pro Palestinian because they're hearing your dawah
you who thought your voice was insignificant, has forced a
momentous shift in American politics and.
Across Europe, we saw that the Europeans now now talking about a
ceasefire. The EU foreign policy chief Joseph Burrell is coming out
criticizing the giving of arms to Israel. The iCj International
Court of Justice has ruled that Israel must now stand trial for
genocide ibad Allah, that was not done because of an army. It was
not done because of money. It was not done because of oil that we
cut off. It was done because you refuse to be quiet, and you
amplified your voice and you allowed and kalima to Haq Allah
amplified it the righteous word, and it resonated with the fitrah
of the global public opinion. And that global public opinion has
shifted, whereby, yesterday, Israel was presenting itself as a
haven for genocide victims. Today, it's being accused of being a
haven for genocide perpetrators. Abad Allah, that's because of an
ummah that refuses to be quiet. That's because of an ummah that
roared in South Africa. Heard the roar, and South Africa took the
case to the ICJ May Allah preserve and protect South Africa and give
it all the political, economic prosperity that it needs for the
sake of its standing for justice. Ibad Allah, the point I am making
here is this ummah spoke out and it made the change. And remember,
for those of you who believe that your actions are insignificant,
let me leave you with the story of Heraclius and Abu Sufyan.
Heraclius asked Abu Sufyan a series of questions about the
Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu, alayhi wa sallam, and one of the
questions was, who are the people who are delivering this message of
the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu, alayhi wa sallam, who are the
people supporting him? Who are the people making him so effective?
Who are the people delivering him to this power that suddenly
frightened you. Although you are the one who has the army, you are
the one who has the money, you are the one who has the media. What is
it that terrifies you about this man who are the people supporting
him and giving him this power that is frightening you? Abu Sufyan did
not say it's the generals in our army who might defect. He didn't
say it's the billionaires who are giving him money to do
initiatives. He didn't even say it's the ordinary people. He used
the derogatory term. It's araviluna, the lowest of our
society, the ordinary people in society, the ones who are supposed
to not have power, the ones who are supposed to not have means,
the ones who are supposed to not be capable of achieving anything.
When he told Heraclius that it's the ordinary people supporting the
Prophet Muhammad, sallAllahu, sallam, and making the difference.
Heraclius says two things. Firstly, he says, this is the way
of prophets. And the second thing he says, if it is the case that
the ordinary people are moving, that the ordinary people are
shouting, that the ordinary people are mobilizing, that the ordinary
people are raising awareness, that the Ordinary People Keep Talking,
that the ordinary people keep moving. If that is the case, he
said, Muhammad will one day come to rule the land on which I stand
on today. And this is the Roman Emperor Abad Allah. There is no
such thing as an ordinary Muslim. For How can an extraordinary Lord
like Allah subhanahu wa establish a direct communication line with
something ordinary? If Allah has established a direct line with
you, it's because you're extraordinary, because any taqwa,
because Allah subhanahu wa has elevated you by giving you this
Deen, giving you this blessing, and even to the non Muslims, by
giving them a fitrah whereby they might be able to hear the Haq.
Allah has blessed mankind. Walakat, Karam na Beni Adam, we
have elevated, given dignity to mankind. There's no such thing as
an ordinary Muslim. Ya ibad Allah, there's no such thing as an
ordinary human being. There is only a human being who is blessed
by Allah subhanho wa Taala with a direct relationship, and when the
servant realizes that he has a direct or she has a direct
relation with Allah subhanahu wa there is no way you can look at
this world with ordinary eyes. You only look at it with extraordinary
eyes, because you will internalize wamekala Yara, that those who do
even an atom of good deed, Allah sees it, and therefore they will
not be stingy with their deeds. If it is a retweet, they will do it.
If it is a like, they will do it. If it is a comment, they will do
it. If it is a bake sale to raise awareness, they will do it. If it
is attending a protest, they will do it. If it is calling their
representative, they will do it. They will not be stingy in any
action, because they know that Allah will never let any of these
efforts go to waste, because the extraordinary Lord has established
a direct relationship with an extraordinary people, sallAllahu,
Allah Sayyidina, Muhammad, Allah Habib Ibn Al Mustafa, this prophet
of ours. SallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam, who gave us this
extraordinary legacy, who gave us this extraordinary heritage, that
if we remember it, and if we learn it, if we internalize it, if we
spread it, we can remind the world that's been hoodwinked for 75
years that somehow Muslims are anti semitics. Tell them, open the
book, read the history, and you will find that the ones who are
accusing Muslims of anti.
Semites are the descendants of the anti Semites, whereas the Muslims
are the descendants of those who gave Haven every single time and
who continue to give Haven. Because when the Zionists came to
Palestine, the reason the Muslims embraced them is because the
Muslims said you were persecuted in Europe. Da Allah, come and stay
with us. We will look after you. And they betrayed the trust, not
the Jews, the Jews, the Zionists, because the Jews have always been
living in Palestine alongside the Muslims. Muhammad Assad, who was a
journalist during the 1930s writes that the Jews and Muslims lived in
harmony together until the Zionist Europeans ended up crossing into
and pushing this political ideology. Muslims have no vendetta
against the Jews. Muslims have a vendetta against the injustice of
Zionism. Zionism is not Judaism, and that's why Jews are opposed to
Zionism. It's why the Jews are joining the protest. It's why the
Jews are raising their voice for Palestine, a bad Allah, know your
history and go and spread it. Abu Asmaa, kumuli, Muslim,
Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah. Alhamdulillah. Mean over here,
when I talk Ali, when I would say NAMA, Saya, Melina, mehadila,
Mulla, malahadi, Allahu, adullah, Shari Kala, washana wa Habib, Ana,
Mustafa, salallahu, alayhi wa sallam Habib I Muhammad
Sallallahu, alayhi wa sallam Muhammad rasulallahu, alayhi wa
sallam ya ibad Allah, the best example, the model example, if you
want to know how to conduct yourself in this difficult time
where we are all raising awareness for Philistine, go back to the
seer of the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam. Watch
how he conducted himself, watch how he conducted himself in
adversity, and learn from that. For indeed, in him, is the perfect
example, and he is the one who revolutionized the whole Arab
Peninsula, and meant that Islam would spread even here to New
Jersey, where Subhanallah, we would all be talking and given
Dawa in English, that's the power of the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu
alaihi salam, in the way that Islam today remains the fastest
growing religion ibad Allah. Do not think the Ummah is weak. Do
not look at the Ummah as something that the entity that is weak. For
Allah, if it was weak, it wouldn't be the fastest growing religion.
People are not entering a weak religion. They're entering a
mighty, powerful religion that continues to be resilient, despite
the trials and tribulations that it struggles with, and Ummah that
came out of colonization and said, Yeah, Muhammad, congratulations.
Algeria has been returned to you. And Ummah that went through
persecution and held on a Bosnian community that all they had to do
was give up La Ilaha, illallah, Muhammad rasulallah, and the
communists would have left them alone. They said, We'd rather
struggle with lalala, Muhammad rasulallah. They live in comfort
of having abandoned Allah and His Prophet, learn this history,
embrace this history be like a cup where you have the memories of the
Ummah being poured into you. For Wallahi, Islam has a rich history,
legacy and ancestry, if only you knew. So we ask Allah, Subhanahu,
taala, rabbanazitna Alma razidna Alma rabbitna Alma, Allah increase
us in knowledge. Allah increases knowledge, not just in the deen,
but in our history, in our legacy, in our heritage. Allah Ummah, give
us the eloquence to convey that history, to convey that legacy, to
convey that heritage. Allah Ummah, bless us with the wisdom to be
able to respond to these false claims being made for Allah, said
util hekmata, may yesha, woman kahira, that those who Allah gives
wisdom are truly blessed, and those who've been given wisdom
have been blessed greatly. We ask Allah to bless us with that with
that wisdom, may Allah give victory to our brothers and
sisters in Philistine. May Allah give them their justice. May Allah
be their support. May Allah be there for them. May Allah bestow
His Sakinah on their hearts. May Allah give them justice sooner,
not later. May Allah subhana, Allah punish the transgressors.
May Allah subhanahu wa punish those who oppress. May Allah
punish the repression. May Allah liberate the lands. May Allah
liberate the lands of the Muslims. May Allah liberate the lands of
those who are living in Dalai LA. We ask Allah subhanahu wa to
bestow His justice on this world. We ask Allah, Subhanahu, Taala to
make us ambassadors of those justice, to use us as vehicles to
deliver that justice. Allahu, AJ islam al Muslimeen, Allahu. AJ
islam al muslime, Allah, Azza islam al Muslimeen, Allahu.
