As

00:00:10 --> 00:00:15

salaam alaikum, we'd like to welcome the political Can you hear

00:00:15 --> 00:00:20

now? Shayna, meet the speakers outside in the side room, welcome

00:00:20 --> 00:00:23

Sami Hamdi, the political commentator who came all the way

00:00:23 --> 00:00:25

from DC just

00:00:38 --> 00:00:39

this morning.

00:00:42 --> 00:00:43

No, Lord Allah,

00:00:48 --> 00:00:48

Allah,

00:00:51 --> 00:00:52

Allah,

00:01:08 --> 00:01:08

All

00:01:12 --> 00:01:12

shad.

00:01:23 --> 00:01:24

O Asha,

00:01:42 --> 00:01:46

don't

00:01:59 --> 00:02:01

hayla sallam,

00:02:12 --> 00:02:13

hayal

00:02:22 --> 00:02:31

Asmaa Allah,

00:02:43 --> 00:02:43

Allah,

00:02:57 --> 00:03:02

Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah, be Here when

00:03:20 --> 00:03:37

So may you to Allah. Bad, a bad Allah, follow me.

00:03:38 --> 00:03:43

Manda illallah, in any meaninglessly mean.

00:03:44 --> 00:03:51

Well at a stall Hassan at a lady here ASAN for either lady, baina,

00:03:51 --> 00:03:57

kawabaem, wama, you lakaha Illa, lady in a sabaru. Wama, ulakaha

00:03:57 --> 00:03:58

Illa, who have an avim.

00:03:59 --> 00:04:06

Wakala, taala, fiki table, Kareem in Nama rousra, WA says in the

00:04:06 --> 00:04:09

Quran that there is no better speech. The one who calls to the

00:04:09 --> 00:04:12

way of Allah subhanahu wa and does good deeds and say, I am from the

00:04:12 --> 00:04:16

Muslims. But the area that follows afterwards tells you what the

00:04:16 --> 00:04:19

nature of this Dawa is that Allah subhanho wa Taala says is the best

00:04:19 --> 00:04:23

of speech. Allah says that the good deed and the bad deed are not

00:04:23 --> 00:04:25

equal. Well, let us tell Hasan at all say,

00:04:26 --> 00:04:29

the point being is that when you give dawah, Allah is giving you

00:04:29 --> 00:04:32

context and saying to you that when you call to what is good and

00:04:32 --> 00:04:35

somebody responds to you with something that is bad, they are

00:04:35 --> 00:04:38

not equal in measure. Do not respond to them the way they

00:04:38 --> 00:04:42

responded to you. Continue in the way of Allah, Subhanahu wa, in the

00:04:42 --> 00:04:45

way that you give dawah, regardless of the reaction and

00:04:45 --> 00:04:50

response or negative response that you receive. For Allah follows in

00:04:50 --> 00:04:54

the ayah where he says ITFA abliti Here, ASAN conduct yourself in

00:04:54 --> 00:04:58

that which is best. And the word IDFA is also has the connotation

00:04:58 --> 00:04:59

of when you push, when you push.

00:05:00 --> 00:05:04

Against that negative reaction IDFA ability here ASAN, push back

00:05:04 --> 00:05:07

with that which is better, with that which is best. For Allah

00:05:07 --> 00:05:13

says, For the one with whom you have an enmity with today, the one

00:05:13 --> 00:05:17

whom is your enemy today, the one with whom you are arguing with

00:05:17 --> 00:05:20

today, the one who is doing the backlash to you when you are

00:05:20 --> 00:05:24

calling out for the sake of Palestine and Gaza today, the one

00:05:24 --> 00:05:28

who is pushing back against what you are doing, Allah subhanahu wa

00:05:28 --> 00:05:32

is saying that that person who today is shouting down at you

00:05:32 --> 00:05:37

tomorrow might become your warmest ally. Allah doesn't say use the

00:05:37 --> 00:05:42

word Sadiq. Allah says, where Leon hameen, where Leon is the inter is

00:05:42 --> 00:05:46

the meaning of somebody almost like a protector, an ally,

00:05:46 --> 00:05:52

waliyyun, hamim, a warm ally. But Allah tells you who are the people

00:05:52 --> 00:05:55

who achieve this? Because many people read this area and they

00:05:55 --> 00:05:58

say, Okay, that was good, but there are some people where Dawa

00:05:58 --> 00:06:02

doesn't work on them. Allah has responded to those critics when he

00:06:02 --> 00:06:06

says that the only people who achieve this where the other side

00:06:06 --> 00:06:10

finally sees the truth of the matter that you are speaking.

00:06:10 --> 00:06:15

Allah says when a ulakaha Illa Levina sabaru that the ones who

00:06:15 --> 00:06:18

achieve it are the ones who are patient, and note the meaning of

00:06:18 --> 00:06:22

patience. Here the sabaru Some Muslims, when they interpret

00:06:22 --> 00:06:27

patience, they assume that it means waiting. They assume that it

00:06:27 --> 00:06:30

means inaction. They assume that it means to sit, and if it doesn't

00:06:30 --> 00:06:33

work the first time, be patient. Something else will come

00:06:33 --> 00:06:38

eventually. Patience here means patience with the process,

00:06:38 --> 00:06:43

patience with the procedure, patience in your continuation of

00:06:43 --> 00:06:48

dawah, perseverance in the Dawah in that today you are calling for

00:06:48 --> 00:06:52

the rights and justice of Palestine, and today you are

00:06:52 --> 00:06:56

calling for that which is the Haqq of Islam. Today, they don't

00:06:56 --> 00:07:01

believe you. Tomorrow, they resist you. The third day they insult

00:07:01 --> 00:07:06

you. The fourth day, they persecute you. Allah says, those

00:07:06 --> 00:07:10

who are patient, they will see on the fifth and sixth day where they

00:07:10 --> 00:07:14

turn around and they say, I see the truth of this matter, and I

00:07:14 --> 00:07:19

regret the way I treated you before, the same way we're seeing

00:07:19 --> 00:07:24

in the western world today that people are finally waking up to

00:07:24 --> 00:07:27

the realities of the suffering of the Palestinians and those in

00:07:27 --> 00:07:31

Gaza. We are seeing those who supported the apartheid and

00:07:31 --> 00:07:34

Zionist project. We're seeing them today coming out and saying, I

00:07:34 --> 00:07:38

recognize the right to the Palestinians as humans. That's as

00:07:38 --> 00:07:42

a result of the dower and the perseverance those who are patient

00:07:42 --> 00:07:45

with the Dawah, they found that those who yesterday were against

00:07:45 --> 00:07:49

the Palestinians. Today, they stand with the Palestinians.

00:07:50 --> 00:07:53

The reason why I give you that example ya ibad Allah is to

00:07:53 --> 00:07:57

highlight that the state of the Muslim is one of constant Dawa.

00:07:58 --> 00:08:04

When Allah says, Woman Asmaa, Ill Allah says, the call alone is not

00:08:04 --> 00:08:08

enough. Why am I salihan They do the good deeds wakara, in any mean

00:08:08 --> 00:08:12

and muslimin, they say, the reason giving this speech, and the reason

00:08:12 --> 00:08:16

I am doing this action is because I am a Muslim who believes in

00:08:16 --> 00:08:20

Allah, Subhanahu. WA Allah is telling you that Dawa is about

00:08:20 --> 00:08:25

action, that dawah is about mobilizing. That dawah is about

00:08:25 --> 00:08:30

moving. That dawah is about persevering in that movement. It's

00:08:30 --> 00:08:34

about persevering and giving that dawah and the Prophet Muhammad,

00:08:34 --> 00:08:39

sallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam is the best example of this. There

00:08:39 --> 00:08:42

are many Muslims when they read the Sira, they brush over the

00:08:42 --> 00:08:45

first 13 years of the Dawah. We call it the period of the Dawah,

00:08:45 --> 00:08:49

the first 13 years. The reason being is that there are many who

00:08:49 --> 00:08:53

believe this period to have been a period of weakness, when, in

00:08:53 --> 00:08:58

reality, when you look at it more clearly, you'll realize it was a

00:08:58 --> 00:09:03

period of spectacular strength. Because when the Prophet Muhammad

00:09:03 --> 00:09:08

Sallallahu, alayhi wa sallam and his Sahaba were in Mecca, they

00:09:08 --> 00:09:12

were persecuted by Quraysh. They were denounced by Quraysh. They

00:09:12 --> 00:09:17

were insulted by Quraysh. They were boycotted by Quraysh. Bilal,

00:09:17 --> 00:09:21

when he defied umayyah, they laid him on the ground in the sun, and

00:09:21 --> 00:09:25

they put the rock on his chest. We saw the Muslims being beaten by

00:09:25 --> 00:09:28

the Kaaba, which is why Hamza Rahul comes in and rescues him

00:09:28 --> 00:09:32

from that persecution. When you read the first 13 years, there's

00:09:32 --> 00:09:37

often a focus on the persecution, but not to focus on why the

00:09:37 --> 00:09:41

persecution was taking place in the first place. If the Muslims

00:09:41 --> 00:09:44

were not strong and didn't pose a threat, why was there a need to

00:09:44 --> 00:09:49

persecute them? Why did Quraysh with their money, with their

00:09:49 --> 00:09:53

control over the narrative, with their weapons, with their armies,

00:09:54 --> 00:09:58

with their supremacy in everything that we might today consider

00:09:58 --> 00:09:59

strength? Why.

00:10:00 --> 00:10:05

Were they consistently annoyed and frustrated and then terrified of

00:10:05 --> 00:10:08

the message of the Prophet Muhammad, sallAllahu, alayhi wa

00:10:08 --> 00:10:14

sallam? What made them worry about a people who had no tanks? What

00:10:14 --> 00:10:18

made them worried about a people who had no army? What made them

00:10:18 --> 00:10:23

worry about a people that had no money. What made them worry about

00:10:23 --> 00:10:26

the people that they could beat up and they could humiliate next to

00:10:26 --> 00:10:30

the Kaaba when someone came and threw their organs of an animal on

00:10:30 --> 00:10:33

top of the Prophet Muhammad, sallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam. Why

00:10:33 --> 00:10:37

is it, despite their humiliation of the Muslims, they still felt

00:10:37 --> 00:10:40

the fear that meant they continued to persecute them, and I'll tell

00:10:40 --> 00:10:41

you why.

00:10:43 --> 00:10:47

It is because Quraysh, they found that the call of the Prophet

00:10:47 --> 00:10:52

Muhammad, sallAllahu, alayhi salam the words of the Muslims who

00:10:52 --> 00:10:55

didn't have the army on their back, because Allah did not give

00:10:55 --> 00:10:59

the Prophet Musa Salam an army in those first 13 years, he did not

00:10:59 --> 00:11:02

give him the wealth and the riches in those first 13 years, even when

00:11:02 --> 00:11:05

the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu sallam was offered the wealth, he

00:11:05 --> 00:11:08

said, Wallahi, if you put the sun in my right hand and the moon in

00:11:08 --> 00:11:10

my left, I will not give up this. Deen, he could have bought

00:11:10 --> 00:11:14

Quraysh, but he chose not to. He chose to tolerate the persecution

00:11:14 --> 00:11:17

of the first 13 years. But what was Quraysh so concerned about?

00:11:17 --> 00:11:21

Quraysh were terrified that despite their supremacy in

00:11:21 --> 00:11:25

weaponry, their supremacy in money, their * over the

00:11:25 --> 00:11:28

media and the narratives, their * over the propaganda.

00:11:28 --> 00:11:35

Omar ibn Rahul leaves that power to join the persecuted Muslims.

00:11:35 --> 00:11:40

Musa ibn Umi ra would walk through Mecca, and you could smell his

00:11:40 --> 00:11:45

perfume as he would walk by. Quraysh said, what makes Musa ibn

00:11:45 --> 00:11:51

Muhammad leave the life of luxury to join a group of people that we

00:11:51 --> 00:11:56

are superior to in every material way, and who we are persecuting

00:11:56 --> 00:12:00

them? What is it about the Prophet Muhammad, sallAllahu, alayhi wa

00:12:00 --> 00:12:06

sallam, whereby he has no power in the way that we deem power to be,

00:12:06 --> 00:12:11

but he is causing all of this shift in Makkah that is taking

00:12:11 --> 00:12:16

place. Abu Talib on his deathbed, says to Abu Sufyan and the leaders

00:12:16 --> 00:12:19

of the Quraysh, he says to them, all he wants from you, all the

00:12:19 --> 00:12:24

Prophet Muhammad wants from you is one word, and Abu Sufyan responds,

00:12:24 --> 00:12:28

and he says, If all he wanted was a word, we would have given him

00:12:28 --> 00:12:33

100 words. The problem is the word he wants.

00:12:34 --> 00:12:39

The problem is that word is more powerful than our army. That word

00:12:39 --> 00:12:45

is more powerful than our money, that word is making our elites

00:12:45 --> 00:12:49

leave our luxury to join him. They are abandoning the money to join.

00:12:49 --> 00:12:53

The word they are abandoning the army to join. The word they are

00:12:53 --> 00:12:57

abandoning the luxury to join these persecuted Muslims. When

00:12:57 --> 00:13:01

Jafar ibn Abi Talib goes to habasha to Abyssinia. Look how we

00:13:01 --> 00:13:06

interpret the first 13 years of the powerful life of the prophet

00:13:06 --> 00:13:10

muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, who was never, ever

00:13:10 --> 00:13:14

abandoned by Allah subhanahu wa at any point during his life. The

00:13:14 --> 00:13:19

same way we are never abandoned by Allah subhanahu wa at any point in

00:13:19 --> 00:13:23

our lives when Jafar ibn Abi Talib goes to habasha, when he goes to

00:13:23 --> 00:13:28

Abyssinia, the Quraysh, you would think that if the Muslims are

00:13:28 --> 00:13:33

weak, let them go. We don't need them in Quraysh, no. Quraysh send

00:13:33 --> 00:13:38

last called the genius of the Arabs. They send him to abyssini,

00:13:38 --> 00:13:42

to najashi. And najashi says to AMR ask, I don't understand, why

00:13:42 --> 00:13:46

are you going through all this effort for runaway slaves?

00:13:47 --> 00:13:52

Because Quraysh felt that despite their armies and the control on

00:13:52 --> 00:13:56

the media and the money that they had the word of Islam and the

00:13:56 --> 00:14:00

Prophet Muhammad, sallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam, and those who

00:14:00 --> 00:14:04

stood with him, spreading the Dawah, standing for justice,

00:14:04 --> 00:14:07

pushing back against the monopolies on the narrative,

00:14:07 --> 00:14:11

standing for Philistine and for Gaza, they realized that that

00:14:11 --> 00:14:18

message was causing such a siazmic shift that these runaway slaves,

00:14:18 --> 00:14:22

as najashi called them, were now affecting foreign policy of

00:14:22 --> 00:14:26

Quraysh. Even though they didn't have an army, they didn't have the

00:14:26 --> 00:14:29

money, they didn't have the control the narratives, but the

00:14:29 --> 00:14:36

word of Allah subhanahu wa made Quraysh panic so much that they

00:14:36 --> 00:14:40

felt they had to persecute him, and then what frustrated them even

00:14:40 --> 00:14:45

more is the more they try to repress the Muslims, the more the

00:14:45 --> 00:14:49

elite of people of Quraysh would enter Abu Sufyan when he goes to

00:14:49 --> 00:14:52

Heraclius. You've all read the story. He goes to Heraclius, and

00:14:52 --> 00:14:57

Heraclius says, Tell me about the Prophet Muhammad. He doesn't say

00:14:57 --> 00:14:59

SallAllahu, alayhi, wa sallam, but we will say it's all.

00:15:00 --> 00:15:00

Wa sallam.

00:15:01 --> 00:15:04

Tell me about the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.

00:15:05 --> 00:15:09

The public opinion that Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam has brought

00:15:09 --> 00:15:15

about in Quraysh is so profound, despite not having an army or

00:15:15 --> 00:15:21

money or control over the media, is so profound that Abu Sufyan has

00:15:21 --> 00:15:25

two of his Klansmen who are not Muslim, and he finds himself

00:15:25 --> 00:15:29

unable to lie about the Prophet Muhammad, sallAllahu, sallam, in

00:15:29 --> 00:15:34

front of his two clansmen. He finds himself unable to lie about

00:15:34 --> 00:15:37

the Prophet in front of the Roman emperor, and he finds himself

00:15:37 --> 00:15:41

forced to say, we know him as Ameen. We know him as trustworthy.

00:15:42 --> 00:15:44

We used to trust Him with our wealth and our funds. And then

00:15:44 --> 00:15:49

Hiraki says, and this is about you. Ya ibad Allah, herakliah says

00:15:49 --> 00:15:52

to Abu Sufyan, and who are the people who follow this prophet,

00:15:52 --> 00:15:53

Muhammad?

00:15:54 --> 00:15:59

Is it the rich? Is it the elite? Is it the mighty people with huge

00:15:59 --> 00:16:04

influence, who are the people who are giving him this power and

00:16:04 --> 00:16:07

strength that your tanks and your money and the media is unable to

00:16:07 --> 00:16:12

repress? Who are the people that who are giving him this victory

00:16:12 --> 00:16:16

that is making you panic that in Quraysh you find no peace, because

00:16:16 --> 00:16:19

even though you beat them every day and even though you persecute

00:16:19 --> 00:16:22

them every day, you cannot sleep at night because your sons are

00:16:22 --> 00:16:26

joining and your daughters are joining this Deen of Islam. Who

00:16:26 --> 00:16:28

are the people delivering the success for the Prophet Muhammad

00:16:28 --> 00:16:32

Sallallahu sallam, he said, It is the ordinary people of our

00:16:32 --> 00:16:33

society.

00:16:35 --> 00:16:36

Ibad Allah,

00:16:37 --> 00:16:40

Allah, Subhanahu wa when he gives us the sequence of events in the

00:16:40 --> 00:16:44

life of the prophet Muhammad, sallAllahu, sallam. He did it for

00:16:44 --> 00:16:49

a reason to give us examples about where we stand within this

00:16:49 --> 00:16:51

ecosystem that is Islam.

00:16:52 --> 00:16:54

There are many Muslims who say

00:16:55 --> 00:16:57

that I will mobilize when I have power,

00:16:58 --> 00:17:02

that I will do something for Palestine when I have power that I

00:17:02 --> 00:17:04

don't have enough power to do anything, and therefore it's

00:17:04 --> 00:17:05

useless,

00:17:06 --> 00:17:11

a Muslim will read Surat hood, and they will go to a lot salaam says,

00:17:12 --> 00:17:16

kalau and Ali bikun, kowat, ILA, rukun in Shadid, Lord Alayhi.

00:17:16 --> 00:17:17

Salam, the Prophet,

00:17:18 --> 00:17:22

when his people come to oppress him, he makes a call out where he

00:17:22 --> 00:17:27

says, If only I had power or a powerful ally to resist you.

00:17:28 --> 00:17:33

No, Alam gives dawah for 900 years, and when you read Surat,

00:17:33 --> 00:17:37

Nuh, it's a shorter Surah, worth your time. Surat, okay, you might

00:17:37 --> 00:17:41

think it's too long. Sammy, I might read a page, but I have

00:17:41 --> 00:17:43

other things to do. I've got American football to watch.

00:17:45 --> 00:17:46

Read solid new

00:17:47 --> 00:17:51

and you hear no Alam says something very similar to what you

00:17:51 --> 00:17:55

perhaps are saying inside yourselves. Arab, be in need, out

00:17:55 --> 00:18:01

of home. Elena, wanna music. Whom do I love your Ara, what a nikula.

00:18:01 --> 00:18:02

Madao, Tom Lita, firala,

00:18:09 --> 00:18:16

no makes a complaint to Allah. Allah, I have called on my people

00:18:16 --> 00:18:20

day and night, and when I call on them, they run away from me. When

00:18:20 --> 00:18:24

I tell them, Philistine, they run. When I tell them, they run. When I

00:18:24 --> 00:18:26

tell them, hear my call, they run. Now we don't hear it.

00:18:28 --> 00:18:31

And when I call on them, so you might forgive them, they put their

00:18:31 --> 00:18:35

fingers in their ears. I don't want to listen. I'm canceling you

00:18:35 --> 00:18:40

on the media platforms. I'm shadow banning your accounts. I'm

00:18:40 --> 00:18:45

shutting down your social media accounts. Was stuck. I'm not

00:18:45 --> 00:18:49

interested listening in what you have to say. No, alaihi salam had

00:18:49 --> 00:18:54

the same feelings that we have. Why does Allah put this area in

00:18:54 --> 00:18:59

the Quran for Allah? Allah does not say something in vain. Allah

00:18:59 --> 00:19:02

says it for a reason. Is to tell you, ya, ibad Allah, there is

00:19:02 --> 00:19:07

nothing wrong with feeling these feelings. What's wrong is if it

00:19:07 --> 00:19:11

leads you to do nothing, because no. Alaihi salam, while he makes

00:19:11 --> 00:19:16

his complaint, is still giving the Dawah LUT alai Salam is

00:19:16 --> 00:19:19

complaining about the lack of power and ability, but he's still

00:19:19 --> 00:19:23

calling in his people to come to Islam and come to the deen. Why?

00:19:23 --> 00:19:26

Because these prophets understood something that we have to

00:19:26 --> 00:19:29

understand, which is that the outcome belongs to Allah,

00:19:29 --> 00:19:33

Subhanahu wa and they were but vehicles to deliver the message

00:19:35 --> 00:19:40

ibad Allah. If I was to say to you that NUHA salaam, Shuai balahi

00:19:40 --> 00:19:47

Salam, who the alayhi salam, Salem lot Alayhi Salam. If I was to tell

00:19:47 --> 00:19:50

you that all of these prophets went to their people and only

00:19:50 --> 00:19:53

managed to convince a tiny group of their people to believe in

00:19:53 --> 00:19:57

Allah, would you dare to say these prophets failed? No.

00:19:58 --> 00:19:59

Why would you not say?

00:20:00 --> 00:20:03

That, aside from the fact that you think it's lay your Jews Sharan,

00:20:04 --> 00:20:06

there's another reason why, when you really start thinking about

00:20:06 --> 00:20:09

it, it's because subconsciously, you acknowledge that their aim was

00:20:09 --> 00:20:13

never to convince their people. Their aim was to convey the

00:20:13 --> 00:20:16

message and be the vehicle that Allah subhanho wa Taala had chosen

00:20:16 --> 00:20:20

for them, because they knew that the outcome belongs to Allah

00:20:20 --> 00:20:24

subhanahu wa alone. When the prophets, before they die, they

00:20:24 --> 00:20:26

are given a choice by the angels. They say, Allah has offered you

00:20:26 --> 00:20:30

two choices. Would you like to remain in this dunya until Yom

00:20:30 --> 00:20:34

Kiyama, in other words, see the fruits of your labor? Or do you

00:20:34 --> 00:20:37

want to return to Jannah with Allah subhanahu wa taala and the

00:20:37 --> 00:20:42

prophets? Every Prophet chose Jannah. Why? Why didn't the

00:20:42 --> 00:20:45

Prophet Muhammad, sallAllahu, sallam, linger to see Islam in a

00:20:45 --> 00:20:51

Quds, or see Islam in New Jersey or New Jersey, or see Islam in

00:20:51 --> 00:20:54

these other plagues. Why didn't prophesy and wait to see it?

00:20:54 --> 00:20:58

Because he didn't need to, because he knew the outcome belonged to

00:20:58 --> 00:21:04

Allah subhanho wa Taala alone, and he trusted that Allah, Subhanahu

00:21:04 --> 00:21:07

wa Allah does not let the good deeds go in vain.

00:21:09 --> 00:21:12

Iba dalla when you are giving dawah today. The reason I

00:21:12 --> 00:21:15

mentioned the first 13 years of the life of the prophet Muhammad,

00:21:15 --> 00:21:18

sallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam, is to highlight that what Quraysh

00:21:18 --> 00:21:21

feared more than anything else is they realized that it doesn't

00:21:21 --> 00:21:26

matter the power they had. Islam was winning the hearts. It doesn't

00:21:26 --> 00:21:29

matter the money they had. They couldn't buy people away from

00:21:29 --> 00:21:34

Islam when Suhail Ibn Amr, who signed the Treaty of hudaybiyyah,

00:21:34 --> 00:21:38

he went back to Quraysh, one of the clauses of hudaybiyah was that

00:21:38 --> 00:21:42

those who leave Mecca to go to Medina, have to be sent back to

00:21:42 --> 00:21:43

Mecca,

00:21:44 --> 00:21:49

but those from Medina, it wouldn't work the other way around. It was

00:21:49 --> 00:21:53

all one sided. Suhail Ibn Al was very happy with this deal. He

00:21:53 --> 00:21:56

said, those in Medina have to come back to Mecca, but those in Mecca,

00:21:56 --> 00:21:58

we don't have to send them to Medina. And

00:22:00 --> 00:22:02

when Abuja came after the signing of the treaty, said, Ya

00:22:02 --> 00:22:06

rasulallah, take me with you. And Muhammad Salla said, sabaran, ya

00:22:06 --> 00:22:10

abajadhal, I've just signed a treaty. I can't take you back. And

00:22:10 --> 00:22:13

the Muslims were angry. They were livid. They thought it was a

00:22:13 --> 00:22:18

defeat. OMA buchatab exclaimed, opposed the problem, not opposed,

00:22:18 --> 00:22:20

but said to Prophet sallam, Alison Al Haqq, are we not on the truth?

00:22:20 --> 00:22:21

Ya Rasulullah, when

00:22:23 --> 00:22:26

Suhaila Muhammad went back to Abu Sufyan and quresh, he said, look

00:22:26 --> 00:22:27

at this amazing treaty I've signed.

00:22:28 --> 00:22:30

We have an extradition,

00:22:31 --> 00:22:35

but they have to extradite to us. We know we don't have to extradite

00:22:35 --> 00:22:38

to them. And Abu Sufyan is reported as having said to him,

00:22:38 --> 00:22:41

yes, Suhail AMA, do you think this is a victory? The problem is, when

00:22:41 --> 00:22:45

one of them enters Islam, they never leave. Who's going to come

00:22:45 --> 00:22:49

back from Medina to come to Mecca? You've misunderstood the power of

00:22:49 --> 00:22:54

Islam here. The problem is he keeps taking people away from us

00:22:54 --> 00:22:57

through His words, despite the fact that we have the army and the

00:22:57 --> 00:22:58

power

00:22:59 --> 00:23:01

Abad Allah. Don't underestimate public opinion.

00:23:03 --> 00:23:06

For Allah. He when Abu Sufyan sent somebody to the Prophet Muhammad

00:23:06 --> 00:23:09

sallallah to say, tell me what his Sahaba are like. And He came back

00:23:09 --> 00:23:12

and he said, Allah, if you were to give them mountains of gold, they

00:23:12 --> 00:23:14

would never abandon the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu, alayhi wa

00:23:14 --> 00:23:18

sallam, because there is something a terrifying power of Islam that

00:23:18 --> 00:23:22

worries those who repress the Ummah, and who repress the Muslims

00:23:22 --> 00:23:25

and who seek to impose restrictions on freedom. Ibad

00:23:25 --> 00:23:27

Allah, don't think Islam is opposed to freedom. You know,

00:23:27 --> 00:23:30

Islam thrives in freedom, and I'll tell you why, because Islam

00:23:30 --> 00:23:34

appeals to the mind and the heart. When you have an environment of

00:23:34 --> 00:23:35

freedom,

00:23:36 --> 00:23:39

you have an environment where Islam becomes the fastest growing

00:23:39 --> 00:23:43

religion, because Allah subhanahu wa Allah tells Allah fiddin, I

00:23:43 --> 00:23:46

want you to enter willingly. When you see people after what happened

00:23:46 --> 00:23:49

in Raza, entering Islam, they're not entering Islam because there

00:23:49 --> 00:23:52

are all this military might and military power or the like,

00:23:53 --> 00:23:56

because clearly they're seeing Muslims being killed on TV. So

00:23:56 --> 00:23:59

what makes them enter Islam despite seeing that persecution,

00:24:00 --> 00:24:06

it's the resilience of an ummah that despite that persecution and

00:24:06 --> 00:24:10

the lack of what they deem to be power, they are demonstrating a

00:24:10 --> 00:24:15

power that Money Can't Buy, a power that militaries can't

00:24:15 --> 00:24:19

deploy, which is the power that no matter What La ilaha illAllah

00:24:19 --> 00:24:24

Muhammad Rasulullah, is the fastest growing proclamation 1400

00:24:25 --> 00:24:28

years after the death of the Prophet Muhammad, sallAllahu,

00:24:28 --> 00:24:33

alayhi wa sallam. You believe that to be insignificant. They believe

00:24:33 --> 00:24:34

it to be terrifying.

00:24:35 --> 00:24:41

They cannot understand how they go abroad to kill Muslims, but find

00:24:41 --> 00:24:45

their own population becoming Muslim. They cannot understand how

00:24:45 --> 00:24:48

they claim to be the leaders of the free world, but in this free

00:24:48 --> 00:24:53

world, they find that their values are declining while Islamic values

00:24:53 --> 00:24:56

are on the are on the rise because Allah subhanahu wa taala has

00:24:56 --> 00:24:59

looked after his Deen. It is not Muslims that.

00:25:00 --> 00:25:05

Make Islam great. It's Islam that makes Muslims great. It's not you

00:25:05 --> 00:25:10

who makes Allah great. It's Allah Who makes Muslims great. When you

00:25:10 --> 00:25:14

choose to be a vehicle for Allah. Allah elevates you when you choose

00:25:14 --> 00:25:18

not to be Allah humiliates you. Allah. Subhanahu wa has not said,

00:25:18 --> 00:25:21

go out and achieve the outcome. Allah Allah has said, Go and

00:25:21 --> 00:25:24

strive and watch the barakah I will put in your striving. That's

00:25:24 --> 00:25:31

why Allah said, Woman, Allah, mean for Allah ikakana, those who

00:25:31 --> 00:25:34

strive for the sake of Allah, Subhanahu wa Minun, they believe

00:25:34 --> 00:25:37

in Allah. They are striving because they believe ALLAH is in

00:25:37 --> 00:25:40

charge of the outcome. Allah doesn't say their result is

00:25:40 --> 00:25:44

rewarded. Allah says that it's their striving that is rewarded

00:25:44 --> 00:25:49

because ya ibad, Allah Musa ibn Umar did not see Fatima. Does that

00:25:49 --> 00:25:53

mean he failed? Absolutely not. He convinced Medina to become the

00:25:53 --> 00:25:56

base of the Prophet Muhammad, sallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam Hamza

00:25:56 --> 00:25:59

Ravi Allahu Anhu died in ahud. He didn't see Fatah. Mekka. Will you

00:25:59 --> 00:26:02

turn around and look down on him as less of an honor than those who

00:26:02 --> 00:26:05

entered Mecca, absolutely not because Hamza Allah had the

00:26:05 --> 00:26:08

greatest honor. He was the vehicle through which Allah Subhanallah

00:26:08 --> 00:26:11

used, and he became the Lion of Allah subhanho wa taala. The

00:26:11 --> 00:26:15

reality is the reason we honor the Sahaba, you will realize the

00:26:15 --> 00:26:17

reason you honor the Sahaba and why you love them is because you

00:26:17 --> 00:26:21

love the fact they were chosen by Allah to be the vehicles, even

00:26:21 --> 00:26:24

though many of them did not see the outcome that they long to

00:26:24 --> 00:26:27

achieve. And that's why ya ibad Allah. I want to leave you with

00:26:27 --> 00:26:30

this on this first part of the khutbah, which is ya ibad Allah,

00:26:32 --> 00:26:36

Muslims have made the difference in public opinion when it comes to

00:26:36 --> 00:26:39

razam Philistine. It's unprecedented, no matter what

00:26:39 --> 00:26:42

happens in Ghazan Palestine. Now, once that ceasefire comes, all of

00:26:42 --> 00:26:45

the journalists in the world will say that Netanyahu is the one who

00:26:45 --> 00:26:46

failed. The

00:26:47 --> 00:26:50

whole public opinion has shifted. We're seeing people who never

00:26:50 --> 00:26:53

cared about Palestine now talking about Palestine, and that's

00:26:53 --> 00:26:57

because of the dower of the ordinary people. That's because

00:26:57 --> 00:27:00

you kept going and you kept persevering. And Allah says, Wama

00:27:00 --> 00:27:04

ulakahana sabaru, you were patient through the heartbreak, you were

00:27:04 --> 00:27:07

patient through the despair, you were patient through the pain. You

00:27:07 --> 00:27:10

were patient through the images. You were patient through the the

00:27:10 --> 00:27:14

absolutely heartbreaking images you were seeing. You were patient

00:27:14 --> 00:27:17

in that through those tears and heartbreak, you kept raising the

00:27:17 --> 00:27:20

voice for Palestine, and we're seeing that shift in public

00:27:20 --> 00:27:24

opinion on a social and political level itself, Allah has told you

00:27:24 --> 00:27:28

that he has managed to turn those who are against Israel. He's

00:27:28 --> 00:27:31

managed to turn them pro pro Israel. They're now pro

00:27:31 --> 00:27:35

Palestinian. Those who are Zionist before are now today advocating

00:27:35 --> 00:27:38

for the sake of Philistine. Allah, the One who flips the hearts, has

00:27:38 --> 00:27:39

flipped the hearts

00:27:40 --> 00:27:43

because SubhanaHu, he is the one in charge of the outcome. And when

00:27:43 --> 00:27:46

Hadith qudasi, you take one step, Allah takes 10. We took one step.

00:27:46 --> 00:27:51

Allah took 10. But ya ibed, Allah, for those of you who believe and

00:27:51 --> 00:27:54

think would walk away from this khutbah and say that Sami came

00:27:54 --> 00:27:56

from London to tell us that we shouldn't care about an outcome,

00:27:56 --> 00:27:59

that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying trust that Allah has the

00:27:59 --> 00:28:03

outcome in this dunya and strive for another outcome, the outcome

00:28:03 --> 00:28:06

that you read in one of the short surahs,

00:28:07 --> 00:28:11

which is that after going through what NUHA salaam went through,

00:28:12 --> 00:28:14

where you're giving the Dawa and you feel you're not getting

00:28:14 --> 00:28:17

traction, where you're striving and making efforts, but you feel

00:28:17 --> 00:28:20

perhaps you're not achieving what you want to achieve. But you keep

00:28:20 --> 00:28:22

going, and you keep mobilizing where you feel you're making all

00:28:22 --> 00:28:25

this effort, but the return is not as much as the effort that's being

00:28:25 --> 00:28:27

putting in, even though you're doing it for the sake of Allah

00:28:27 --> 00:28:30

subhanahu wa. And then you lie on your deathbed and you say, is this

00:28:30 --> 00:28:33

all my life? I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried, and I didn't get

00:28:33 --> 00:28:34

the results that I wanted.

00:28:36 --> 00:28:39

Allah tells you that for these people, when they lie on their

00:28:39 --> 00:28:42

deathbed and the soul leaves their body, they don't hear ya to

00:28:42 --> 00:28:48

hanafah, Oh, disgusting soul that didn't do anything, that didn't

00:28:48 --> 00:28:51

mobilize, didn't move, didn't give Dow, I didn't use the powers that

00:28:51 --> 00:28:54

I gave you. Instead, they will hear the most beautiful outcome,

00:28:55 --> 00:28:57

which is when their soul leaves and they haven't achieved the

00:28:57 --> 00:29:00

outcome they wanted. In this dunya, we might not see liberation

00:29:00 --> 00:29:03

of Quds in our lifetime, the same way the Prophet Muhammad did not

00:29:03 --> 00:29:04

see liberation of Quds in his lifetime.

00:29:05 --> 00:29:09

We might not, but that's an outcome that's decided by Allah,

00:29:09 --> 00:29:10

Subhanahu wa Taala alone.

00:29:11 --> 00:29:14

But Allah has promised us an outcome regardless of whether

00:29:14 --> 00:29:17

qur's is liberated or not, although we keep striving for it,

00:29:17 --> 00:29:20

which is when the soul leaves and we say, Yeah, Allah, but I wasn't

00:29:20 --> 00:29:24

able to liberate our gods, the angels, they will say, yeah to

00:29:24 --> 00:29:28

her, neferna, Oh, beautiful, beautiful, sweet smelling soul,

00:29:28 --> 00:29:31

Oh, lovely soul. The angels will say to each other, there is a Do

00:29:31 --> 00:29:34

you smell that? This is a soul that through the heartbreak, they

00:29:34 --> 00:29:38

kept going, through the despair, they kept going. They said that

00:29:38 --> 00:29:43

Rabi any doubt to call me Layla wanna firata. But they kept going.

00:29:43 --> 00:29:46

They saw the images. They never sat down. They kept going through

00:29:46 --> 00:29:49

their tears. They kept going. They would wake up with their pillows

00:29:49 --> 00:29:52

drenched in their tears over their heartbreak, but they never said,

00:29:52 --> 00:29:55

I'm going to stay in my bed and do nothing. They kept going through

00:29:55 --> 00:29:57

because they believed Allah would eventually deliver the outcome,

00:29:57 --> 00:29:59

and they wanted the honor of being the vehicle. Oh so.

00:30:00 --> 00:30:04

Eat beautiful, smelling soul. IR Jay, ilahara, Biki, Ravi atamar,

00:30:04 --> 00:30:06

the come back to your Lord. You know what they say to the soul.

00:30:07 --> 00:30:11

They say, come back. Allah is pleased with you. Allah is happy

00:30:11 --> 00:30:16

with you. Allah is celebrating you. Allah says, look at this

00:30:16 --> 00:30:20

wonderful, beautiful soul. Fat KHULI fi a Badi, what holy Jan

00:30:20 --> 00:30:24

neti and Inshallah, one day Allah, may Allah liberate Quds in our

00:30:24 --> 00:30:28

lifetime. But if he has decreed that it won't be, may Allah give

00:30:28 --> 00:30:31

us the companionship of the Prophet Muhammad, sallAllahu,

00:30:31 --> 00:30:34

Sallam in general, for those where one day we will sit with him and

00:30:34 --> 00:30:37

with Salah hadn't ayubi, and with honorable Khattab, and when we

00:30:37 --> 00:30:40

enter the gathering Saladin, ayubi will just be finishing the story

00:30:40 --> 00:30:44

about he how he liberated Al Aqsa. And we say, Salaam Alaikum to the

00:30:44 --> 00:30:47

Prophet Muhammad SAW. And he says, wala Kum salaam to us. Which

00:30:47 --> 00:30:50

generation are you? And we will tell him, ya rasulallah, we are

00:30:50 --> 00:30:53

the generation that finally broke the Zionist monopoly over the over

00:30:53 --> 00:30:56

the narrative. And while we didn't seek what's liberated, we did what

00:30:56 --> 00:30:59

we did, what we did what we could. And he will say, sit down in my

00:30:59 --> 00:31:02

company. And then another man will come and pass, a man and his

00:31:02 --> 00:31:05

sister, perhaps, and they will say to us, and we will say, what

00:31:05 --> 00:31:08

generation are you? They will say, We are the generation that came

00:31:08 --> 00:31:11

straight after you, and we liberated the Quds and Al Aqsa and

00:31:11 --> 00:31:15

Barak Allahu come for winning the battles that paved the ground for

00:31:15 --> 00:31:18

us to be able to finally liberate Al Aqsa or the like. How happy

00:31:18 --> 00:31:22

will you be in that moment when he looks and he says, Ya Rasulullah,

00:31:22 --> 00:31:26

because of their efforts, we were finally able to liberate Al Aqsa,

00:31:27 --> 00:31:30

may Allah make us amongst that companionship. Akuli had ALA, he

00:31:30 --> 00:31:33

will call me saliming for staff who in nahulahi

00:32:19 --> 00:32:23

there anybody better to trust in Allah in order with the affairs

00:32:23 --> 00:32:26

and the outcomes of this ummah. So ya ibad Allah, may Allah make us

00:32:26 --> 00:32:30

the vehicles for the change he is going to bring about. May he honor

00:32:30 --> 00:32:32

us to be the vehicles for the outcome that he has already

00:32:32 --> 00:32:36

decreed. May Allah allow us to witness the outcome that he has

00:32:36 --> 00:32:39

already decreed. May Allah, Subhana Allah, make us amongst the

00:32:39 --> 00:32:42

celebrated in Jannah. May Allah give us the best of outcomes where

00:32:42 --> 00:32:47

we are the nafs al mutma Inna. May Allah subhanahu wa status in this

00:32:47 --> 00:32:50

Forgive our mistakes. May Allah subhana wa Taala make us a source

00:33:03 --> 00:33:06

of solace for those in Palestine, as we stand and raise their

voices, we ask Allah subhana wa Taala to give solace to those in

00:33:09 --> 00:33:12

Ghazal We ask Allah subhana wa Taala to give justice to those in

00:33:12 --> 00:33:15

Palestine. We ask Allah subhana wa Taala to make us pillars of

00:33:15 --> 00:33:19

justice. We ask Allah subhana wa Taala to make us pillars of truth.

00:33:19 --> 00:33:22

We ask Allah subhana wa Taala to bless us with the wisdom to engage

00:33:22 --> 00:33:26

with the others. We ask Allah subhanahu wa to give us success in

00:33:26 --> 00:33:30

all of our endeavors. And we ask Allah subhanahu wa to never burden

00:33:30 --> 00:33:34

us with more than we can bear. And we ask Allah subhanahu wa to help

00:33:34 --> 00:33:37

us push through our broken hearts. We ask Allah subhanahu to help us

00:33:37 --> 00:33:40

00:33:40 --> 00:33:43

push through those images. We ask Allah subhanahu wa to give relief

00:33:43 --> 00:33:46

to those in Philistine, and we ask Allah subhanahu wa taala to tell

00:33:46 --> 00:33:50

those in Philistine that the Ummah stands with them. The Ummah is

00:33:50 --> 00:33:54

trying for them. The Ummah is doing what it can for them. We ask

00:34:08 --> 00:34:12

ask Allah subhanahu wa to liberate Al Aqsa. And we ask Allah

00:34:12 --> 00:34:17

subhanahu wa to remind this world that in the history of mankind,

00:34:17 --> 00:34:22

whenever the Jews were persecuted by the anti Semites, they found

00:34:22 --> 00:34:27

Haven amongst the Muslims every single time, whether when they

00:34:27 --> 00:34:30

fled the Spanish Inquisition, whether when they fled the

00:34:30 --> 00:34:33

Holocaust, whether when they fled the Warsaw Ghetto, we ask Allah

00:34:33 --> 00:34:37

subhanahu wa to give us the eloquence to remind this world

00:34:37 --> 00:34:40

that the people of justice over the past 1400 years were always

00:34:40 --> 00:34:44

the Muslims. The parables of coexistence were always the

00:34:44 --> 00:34:47

Muslims. The Jerusalem of Europe is Sarajevo when it was under the

00:34:47 --> 00:34:51

Muslims, the parable of coexistence Andalusia when it was

00:34:51 --> 00:34:55

under the Muslims, we asked Allah to remind us of our own history,

00:34:55 --> 00:34:58

to make us appreciate our own history, and to make us accept

00:34:58 --> 00:34:59

that identity and embrace.

00:35:00 --> 00:35:03

It wholeheartedly, and we ask Allah subhanahu wa taala to give

00:35:03 --> 00:35:07

victory for this ummah, to unite it and elevate it and make it the

00:35:07 --> 00:35:10

example for this world that is in desperate need of a just global

00:35:10 --> 00:35:16

order. Allahummadina Feynman had aid wa afina FEMA and our late
