Now in the following verses we will learn about something that is known as p del
p del. What is the del t tell us a little letters of the lamb cattle. Patil is to kill and PETA is to fight, fight as the not verbal argument but fight as in do people are out with their swords or with their guns or whatever and they're attempting to kill each other, this is what PETA is, okay. And B
is a form
a kind of jihad. Okay, what is jihad?
What is do you have? It is from June
and July, it's to exert one's maximum effort to strive to do one's best in order to gain something in order to repel something.
For example, there's a natural disaster somewhere. Let's say there was an earthquake. What will people do?
What will they do? They will say, Okay, fine, our lives have been ruined. Forget it. That's it finished? Done. Is that what they will do? If they do that you will say, failures, losers, how can you help people who are losers? What do people do in such situations? They stand up, they're like, Okay, whatever has happened has happened. Now, let's see what we can do. They will gather up their resources, organize, they will plan what they have to do, they will receive help people will come in to help them they will work day in and day out to reconstruct their lives to rebuild their lives, right. They will not just sit there doing nothing.
So jihad is to struggle to put in once maximum effort whatever a person can do, to achieve something or to rebelled something to rebelled some harm. And in our religion, what is your head? It is to strive to struggle to do what's best in order to apply the religion
in order to support their religion, in order to promote their religion.
Apply their religion, for example, Hajj, Hajj, Has anyone gone for Hajj?
Is it easy? Tell me is it easy, it's not easy.
You have to spend lots of money, you have to take time out from your work or from your school, or whatever it is, you have to leave your responsibilities at home. And then you travel all the way. And all of a sudden, you see people speaking a different language, eating different food, you know, talking in a different way. You're like, why are they driving like this? Don't they know the rules of the road?
And all of a sudden, you know, you're standing in a line and then you see there's no line.
Right? And then you're like, we're supposed to be moving. And the next thing you know, you're sitting in traffic for 10 hours for 12 hours.
You think that it's lunchtime, so your group organizer should get lunch for you? And what you find out is that they're stuck in Mina, miles and miles away. And your food cannot come for the next five, six hours. And you're like, but we're not supposed to be fasting right now. I'm hungry. I'm tired. I want food.
You're doing the laugh. It takes so long you're doing sorry. It takes a long you're going for Rami so application of religion. This is what you have to struggle a lot.
So yeah, fasting, isn't that a jihad in itself? Of course.
The jihad of women is going for Hajj.
Okay, so do you have first of all his work in application of religion? This is why we say you know, Jihad bin knifes fighting against the knifes because you're not your soul, your desires they come in and to prevent you from applying the religion. Secondly, jihad is also in support or in defense of religion. If there's somebody who was saying bad things about your religion, what is your obligation that you go and defend the religion? They have misconceptions, you go and clarify.
Right? But can you just clarify other people's misconceptions based on who you are? Can you do that? No. Don't you have to have some evidences, some research that is done.
Right, you have to be of someone who is considered as an authority as well. So to get to that level,
to gain that kind of knowledge
to develop that kind of ability to remove misconceptions about Islam. Isn't that a struggle on its own?
Isn't it? It is. Think about it. All those people who strive to study the religion, and then they go and defend their religion. It's a big effort.
Have you heard stories of people who go to study the religion to study the deen you
It's not easy. It's very hard. I remember somebody was telling me about one of their relatives, they went somewhere to study. And they were in the boarding off that particular Islamic University. And that place was full of cockroaches. And I said, a person goes from North America. And then they see cockroaches everywhere. I mean, it's a struggle, right.
And I also read the student they had written, how they spend their day, how they spend their day, in that Islamic University, and how they wake up so early in the morning, I mean, before budget, okay? And they're at the masjid. They're revising their Quran, they're studying their Quran. And then after budget, again, they have at the dweet Halacha, or the field halacha. They go to another Halacha, one after the other one class after the other until Zohar time, can you imagine being awake all the way to look, these days, we have to wake up for half an hour, 45 minutes for school and budget. And when I go we have to sleep in. Right? Just imagine it's not easy, it's very hard.
So in support of religion,
right? And sometimes the support this defense, it goes to the level of what, that if people are coming to fight you physically, then what are you going to do? Sit there and smile at them?
If you do that, I mean, you're gonna be finished. Right? So do you have includes support of religion, defense of religion, but it doesn't mean that you're standing with a gun all the time. anybody dare to say anything against a religion? Shoot, shoot, shoot? No, this is not what you had means Jad means that when somebody is coming to fight against you, then you defend yourself and inshallah we will learn about that.
And the third is, in promotion of religion,
you have to struggle to do that as well. Have you ever heard of Christian ministries, how they leave their houses, their countries, their easy, comfortable lives, and they will go to villages in Africa, they will go to villages in Asia, and they will learn the language of the people that will live amongst them so that they can tell them about their religion?
Have you heard about that? This is something that's not unknown. It's something that we're not unfamiliar with. So if a person strives to tell other people about religion, isn't that a struggle on its own? It is.
So remember, jihad is not just a one type. All right, all of this talk I'm giving you why to make it clear to you that you have there's not just a one type
okay? And P dal is only a part of jihad
is only a part of jihad.
So over here, in these verses, we will learn about began.
Because so far we have been learning about the struggle to implement the religion, right? But what about the situation where somebody is coming to fight you because you are a believer only because of your faith, nothing else but your faith? So in that situation, what are you going to do? Allah subhanaw taala guides the believers concerning that as well.
So we're called to you and fight feasable Allah in the way of Allah Karatedo This is a command from PETA after Allah, that fight or believers feasable Allah in the way of Allah Sabine,
seen by Allah way back.
Meaning in the Cause of Allah.
Who should you fight a Lavina yukata Luna calm those people who fight you, you caught the Luna same route. But what are the rules of fighting? Well at artha do and do not commit transgression? Why? Because in Allahu Allah you have been murdered in Indeed, Allah does not like those people who commit transgression, Martha Dean, let our to do from the root letters is that well,
there's three things that we learn in this verse.
First of all, that believers when they fight, they should fight Wi Fi subete Allah.
Secondly, who should they fight?
Who should they fight?
Anybody? Their neighbors?
Yeah, who should they fight? A Lavina you Kati, Luna, calm those who fight you.
And thirdly, what are the rules of fighting?
What are the rules of war letter to do? Do not commit any transgression?
These three things mainly we learned from this verse. The first thing that we learn is that believers when they fight, they're fighting feasable Allah. They're fighting. FISA beat Allah.
What does it mean by feasibly the law?
It means that a person fights only for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala
me
meaning he's not fighting to show how evil he is and how strong he is and how fearless he is and how mighty he is. No, he is fighting to earn the pleasure of Allah subhanaw taala
likewise, a person is not fighting to gain worldly riches that is, okay, fine. If we defeat these people, we'll get all that land. We'll get all that wealth. No, that's not the objective. What is the purpose of fighting in Islam, that you're fighting only to attain the pleasure of Allah subhanaw taala. If Lawsonia sincerity of intention, we learn from a hadith Mannahatta Lolita, kona Kalamata Allah He had earlier for Hua FISA beat Allah, the One who fights that the word of Allah is Exalted, meaning he's fighting really for the sake of Allah, then that person is in the way of Allah that person is fighting for the sake of Allah.
Second, secondly, fighting in the way of Allah means that a person fights in the way that has been prescribed by Allah subhanaw taala.
where Allah has given us the rules of praying, the rules of fasting the rules of hajj, he has also given the believers rules of fighting. How, in what way, when? What are the limits? What are they allowed? What are they not allowed, these rules also, a person has to observe. So the first thing we'll call Tillu feasable in there.
The second thing, who should you fight against those people who fight you.
So fight them in they're fighting you.
The third thing that we learned is that we'll enter the to the rules of fighting, do not commit transgression, what is irida Eric dancer Meindl well, and the other one is to cross limits,
from the same root as are the enemy, because an enemy in his enmity in his hatred, he does not care about any limits. So let artha do do not commit any transgression. Now, irida transgression in fighting could be in two ways.
First of all, in the hack of Allah, and secondly, in the health of those people who are being fought.
In the hack of Allah, how could a person transgress when fighting?
Like I mentioned earlier, there are certain rules that Allah has given to us we have to observe.
And if a person does not observe them, then he is committing transgression against who, against Allah.
To see,
Allah has said, you can only fight in this way at this time these people, but if you don't follow those rules, then you are committing transgression against who,
against whom?
Allah Subhana.
Allah has in our Sharia, it has made very clear that for example, women must not be killed. Children must not be killed.
Monks, people who are worshipers who have nothing to do with fighting, they must not be killed.
property must not be destroyed, innocent people must not be harmed. But if a person thinks that fighting is killing innocent people, then he is committing transgression against to forget the people, he is committing transgression against to Allah subhanaw taala.
Even if you're trying to capture a tyrant or whatever, you cannot kill innocent people on the way. It's not something that's permissible. Women, children, monks, old people who are not participating in the battle, they are not to be harmed.
Secondly, err to there could be with regards to the help of the Makati meaning those people who are being fought that a person commits transgression against the enemy?
What do people say in love and war? Everything is fair. But what do we learn from this, that in love and war, even everything is not fair. Everything is not allowed.
In war, you don't follow your desires. Even then you cannot commit transgression against the enemy. You can fight the enemy, but you're not going to commit transgression against the enemy. What would be transgression against the enemy? That for example, the person says, okay, they're making the deal with the enemy. We're not going to fight now. For the next two months, no, no fighting nothing.
And then as soon as the enemy lays down their arms, then a person goes and fights them. This is what transgression breaking a treaty, violating a promise.
Likewise, killing women, old monks children, destroying crops, destroying properties. This is something that's not allowed. The Prophet salallahu Salam, whenever he dispatched any troops, he would tell them that do not behave treacherously, nor misappropriate the war booty, nor mutilate those whom you kill, nor children. Don't even mutilate the dead.
And don't kill children. Don't kill children.
And if a person
and killed them. This is what it did that transgression, mutilation, that if a person has been killed and their body is mutilated, for example, you know, they're cut up and they're doing all these gross things to the body that you can't even talk about. You can't even imagine, like cutting up their heads and cutting up their eyes and cutting up their feet and then mailing them to certain people that oh, look, we have killed your person. This is what mutilation of the dead. This is something that's not allowed.
Okay, so let artha do why. Because in Allahu Allah, you have Bullmore the dean, Allah does not like those people who transgress. Imagine a person goes to fight in the Cause of Allah. He's saying, I'm going to do the hardest thing that's for me, you know, I'm going to fight in the way of Allah and he commits transgression. And you know what, Allah doesn't like him anymore.
What I feel
Allah does not like him anymore. Think about it, he's going to fight.
And he commits transgression. And Allah says in the law hola your hippo Murthy.
We learned earlier will Sabina Filbert says II What love Ra, or Hainan bucks, those who are patient when at the time of war even and patients does not mean that you just stay there. But patients also means that you control yourself from doing that which is wrong. Even when you're tempted to harm an innocent person. You don't do that. Because in the law, now you have been martyred in.
In this idea, basically, the believers are being given permission to fight
by the command or Tillu the Muslims are being told now you may fight
because initially, the believers were not allowed to raise their weapons against the enemy, no matter how much their enemy tortured them, no matter how much their enemy abused them. They were not allowed to fight them back.
We know that the prophets have a lot of sentiment, the believers they were in Makkah for how long, 13 years.
And those 13 years weren't easy.
They weren't easy. They suffered a lot of hardship. Many were killed, brutally killed.
The father, the mother were killed in front of a child in front of their son.
A person would be laid on burning hot sand, and extremely heavy rocks were placed on his chest and he will be poked, you know with what we call
not with a finger but with goal. We cannot even imagine being in a situation like that.
A person would be reciting Quran and he would be beaten up until people would think that's it. He's finished. He's dead.
Imagine for just the recitation of the Quran people are beating you for just praying Salah people are beating you.
Can you just imagine that.
And this whole time, the Muslims were told, Khufu idea calm, keep your hands to yourself, meaning don't raise your hands don't fight yet. Don't say anything to the enemy.
The Muslims, they were persecuted so much that many of them had to secretly migrate to ever senior secretly.
Because if people found out that they were leaving, they would kill them.
A woman will be traveling. She would be on her animal and she would be pregnant, pushed off. That's it. She lost her child. She had a miscarriage.
A person would be going from Makkah, traveling, leaving my car so that he can at least practice his religion freely. And he's told that either you go and leave your wealth, or you don't
imagine all your money. You're told you can't take any of it.
This is religious persecution.
The Prophet sallallahu sallam, the Muslims, they suffered a total boycott for three years.
For three years.
They were driven out of the Maine population. They lived in a gorge in a valley between mountains and you know what they would eat other
leaves, leather, animal skin, anything that would find because the Michigan would not trade with them would not buy and sell nothing at all.
This was a situation that the Muslims were suffering from.
And finally,
they decided to kill the Prophet sallallahu Sallam as well. But Allah subhanaw taala told him to leave Makkah and he migrated to Medina, with the help of Allah. And when the Muslims were in Medina that then we should again leave them. Did they leave them know? Those Muslims whose families were still in Makkah, they were being persecuted. We know about
companions, who were still in Makkah, and they were being tortured. Why? Just because they were Muslim and they were not being tortured by, you know, people who didn't know them. No, they were being tortured by their own brothers, by their own fathers, by their own uncles, by their own uncles, their own fathers, that the treaty of her debut on the Prophet sallallahu sallam was about to sign the treaty. What happened?
When he was about to say that he has destroyed he may be in effect, what happened? A companion came running from Makkah, he was all shackled. He said, Please save me.
Save me.
Take me out of Makkah, imagine
Muslims were persecuted a lot.
And this whole time, Allah subhanaw taala said you cannot fight back. Why? Because they weren't able to.
There were very few in number. And if they started fighting, their enemy was stronger. And what would that mean? They would finish
they would finish completely. So Allah subhanaw taala told them, be patient, forgive them. And because of that patients, because of that forgiveness, we see that Islam grew. So many people, they accepted Islam.
So, eventually, when the Prophet saw a lot of Muslims in migrated to Medina, and in Medina and Islamic State was established.
And even there, the Muslims were not spared every now and then the machine would come. And they would harm a person who would be around Medina, you know, take his property, loot his property, kill him, kill his people, then, obviously the Muslims had to take some kind of stand.
So Allah subhanaw taala told the Muslims then walk out to that now, you may fight.
But who are you going to fight Alladhina you've got
those people who fight you.
And still remember that no matter how angry you are, no matter how much you hate your enemy, no matter how much revenge you want to take, don't commit transgression, you still have to control yourself.
Because in Allahu Allah you have been martyred in
work to whom and kill them meaning kill your enemy. This is different from Kati Locati to fight oak to kill. The intensity is increasing over here, the intensity of the command
that fight the meaning fight your enemy, kill your enemy.
Hazel wherever suck if to move them wherever you find them. So if to move from the root letters, sir, offer suck, suck. Suck is to meet someone
to come across someone. But not to have a cup of tea with them, but to combat them to fight them. This is what's aquifer means
that a person meets someone he finds someone in front of him, but why are they in front of each other to fight each other? Okay.
From this the word sacrifice is also to combat someone to get someone to gain mastery over them.
So work to do whom Hayes was active to move them, kill them wherever you overcome them. Wherever you overcome your enemy.
anytime anyplace whether it is in the battlefield,
or it is outside of the battlefield, when you come across your enemy than what you're going to do. You're going to kill the enemy. Work de novo Hayes was if the womb will actually do home. A ha ha ra D What does a large mean to expel
so expelled the enemy. From where mean Hazel Alhaji will come from where they expelled you. They drove you out of Makkah. Now you are going to fight them until you break their power and you drive them out of Makkah. They deprived you of your right now you are going to take revenge.
Now what does this verse mean?
Kill them wherever you find them.
Doesn't mean that the believers are to kill any quote unquote infidel.
Wherever they find you, wherever they meet him at the grocery store, in the school, in the university, in a workplace neighbors because this is what people say look at your Quran it says walk through them haters are crypto boom. Is this what this means? If that was the intent of the verse, Then you know what? No Jew could survive in Medina.
Really? In Medina, Jews used to live for a very long time.
Likewise, there were Moshe Keane who lived in Medina I'm not talking about Mark I'm talking about Medina
there
were mostly Cain who lived in Medina, everybody did not accept Islam right away.
Likewise, if that was the case, then when the Prophet salallahu Salam conquered Makkah, then he would not spare any person.
So then this ayah does not mean that kill any disbeliever that you find anywhere. This is with regards to a specific context. And what is that context?
What is the context that the Muslims of Medina, we're basically at war with who? The wished again of Makkah,
not any mushrik. But then we Shigenobu
of Maccha. And their alliances, those who supported and those tribes that supported the mystic in Africa,
okay. And when war is declared between two people,
when war is declared between two people do groups, then when and where do they fight only the battlefield? Is it so? No, it's also outside of the battlefield, right?
Wherever you find the enemy, you catch him.
This is why we see that, for example, if there's a criminal and he's on the run, then he is caught wherever he is found.
Right? It's not said that no, no, he should be found guilty of the crime scene only then you can catch him otherwise you can't catch him? No, wherever you find him, you take him, you don't let him go.
So likewise, when war is declared between two people, then they will fight each other not just in the battlefield, but also outside of that.
Not just at a time when they are intensely fighting with each other, but in that whole period when war is declared between them.
So initially, the Muslims were not allowed to fight there was no war declared between them. Then Allah subhanaw taala allowed the Muslims you may fight and then war was declared between the Muslims of Medina and Michigan of Makkah, which meant that if the Michigan of America did anything to harm the Muslims, what would they do? They would take revenge. If they had a chance to gain mastery over the machine, and to take revenge in any way or form, what would they do? They would do it because they had to do that.
And the thing is, that when war is declared between two nations or two people, then you don't just wait for the battle. Because if you keep waiting for the other to attack you, then what's going to happen you won't be able to win. Right? In war, many times people take the initiative so that they can be victorious.
So this is what this means what the Louisville haters have if the woman will actually do a one man hater
and expel them from where they have expelled you. They expelled you from Makkah, you have to expel them from Makkah. And if you think about it, they expelled the Muslims when they were innocent. Now the Muslims when they expel them, their enemy is guilty.
So are the Muslims not justified in what they were doing? Of course did they not have the right definitely they had the right
so we're gonna do one min height to 101 fitna to a shirt domino cutter and the fitna is more severe it is worse than what than killing
fitna is worse than killing. What is fitna.
fitna is from the root letters, Fattah unknown.
And the word fitna is used in many different ways. The literal the primary meaning of the word is to burn gold or to expose gold to fire, why in order to cleanse it in order to mold it to give shape to it to clean it.
Okay, so this is the true meaning of the word fatahna.
From this the word fitna is used in many different ways. It is used for punishment, Zuko fitna takom, punishment of burning.
It is also used for trials and tribulations difficulties. We learned earlier that Houghton Maru, they said, in no manner no fitna, we are a trial we are a test.
Likewise, the word is also used for tempting someone away from the right, from the truth
that you tempt them or a situation tempt them that they want to disobey Allah subhanaw taala to tempt someone to leave their faith to go against the truth.
Right. And this could be done in different ways by making something very attractive and also by making something very difficult.
So for example, for a person another human being of the opposite gender could be a fitna.
What does that mean?
temptation
to disobey Allah temptation to have wrong thoughts to want to do something wrong?
Do you see what I mean? So it's a fitna
temptation to disobey Allah, something that is made attractive, and other kinds of fitness when something is made difficult.
So for example, a person wants to put on the hijab.
But the family says there is no way you're going to do it. They're making it difficult.
The society says, There's no way you're going to be accepted if you were that.
So difficulty is being created. And as a result, a person will be tempted to leave the truth. They will say, Oh, wearing hijab is too difficult. I'm not doing it.
You see what I mean? So fitna, over here, what does it mean? It means religious persecution.
What does it mean over here? religious persecution, it is making religion hard on someone difficult for them, so they're tempted to leave it.
They're tempted to abandon their faith. Allah says that fitna is a shared terminal cattle it is worse than killing.
The Muslims are being told, kill your enemy killed those who fight you. When a person is killed. Okay, what happens? They're deprived of their life. That's it.
The Muslims were killing the enemy and the enemy. What were they doing? They were putting the Muslims in fitna.
Okay, Muslims were just killing the enemy. And the enemy was putting the Muslims in fitna how
that they were making the practicing of religion so hard for them, that the Muslims, many of them almost wanted to give up, or they were at the verge of giving up.
We learn in the Quran, Allah Subhana Allah says in surah, rouge, that in Alladhina, Fattah and Medina well Minette Indeed, those people who persecute the believing men and believing women,
meaning they persecute them because of their religion.
They stop them from the way of Allah. They don't give them religious freedom. They're not allowed to pray. They're not allowed to worship. They're not allowed to practice their rituals, and they are opposed simply because of their faith.
This fitna, Allah says it is worse than killing. Why, how is it worse than killing? We think that the worst thing a person could do is kill someone. But Allah says no, killing is not as bad. What is worse is fitna persecuting someone because of their faith. You know how, you know how, when a person is killed, only their life is taken away.
But when a person is alive, and they're not allowed to practice their religion, then it is as though you're killing them every single day. You're taking their freedom away, they're alive, but they cannot live.
You understand? When a person is killed, that's it finished. But when a person is alive, yet they cannot live. They live in fear.
They suffer persecution. They're not allowed to make their decisions. They're not allowed to do what they want to do. Then what do they say this is living *, right? This is what people say
that I don't want to live here. I don't want to live like this, I'd rather die.
And also when a person is persecuted because of his faith, and if he leaves his religion because of that, then this is much worse. If you killed him, it wouldn't have been as bad as making him leave his religion, forcing him to abandon his faith. Because of the Quran we learn that insulator hedgeye 11. We're in Asaba to fitna, 10 in Calabar, Allah, what do you he has your dunya Well, a healer
that if a person is persecuted because of his faith, and he becomes weak, he gives up his faith. Then what happens? He suffers loss of dunya and akhira. He's a failure in dunya. And he's a failure in the UK.
He's an absolute failure then.
So well fitna to a shed the middle cattle. They are creating fitna and you are just to kill them. You're just to take revenge and part of their fitna was what
part of their fitna was also killing Muslims, right? They hadn't let the Muslims lead No, they had killed many Muslims.
So Allah subhanaw taala is telling us will fit not to worship the middle cattle to explain to us why it is reasonable to fight them.
Why it makes sense to fight the enemy.
Why is it allowed because some people object they say, Why are Muslims allowed to fight in battle? Why? This is a real
and why you have to stop that fitna.
Because if you let that fitna prevail, then who will have freedom who will be able to practice religion? Nobody?
Allah subhanaw taala He did not create us. For others, he created us for His worship. And if we're not allowed to worship Him, then this is worse for us.
So we'll fix a shirt dominant
whenever the call to home and do not fight them. Now Allah subhanaw taala is telling the muscles about the rules that don't fight the enemy in the Masjid Al haram near the Sacred Mosque. What is the Masjid Al haram?
Where is it located? in Makkah,
and Mocha is a place that is known as haram. Right? What does that mean? That it is a very sacred place? There are some things that people are not allowed to do over there. For example, what are they not allowed to do?
cutting trees, likewise, killing each other fighting each other. These are things that people are not allowed to do in the area of haram.
So we'll add to or to whom are in the Masjid Al haram.
So if you have to fight them, you're not going to fight them. In that place near the Masjid Al haram in the area of haram. You're not allowed to fight them over there.
Meaning even if you catch the enemy over there, are you going to kill them? Are you going to fight them? No, you're not going to do that. But what if they're fighting you in the Haram? Then what Allah says Hector, you got to do confy unless until they fight you in it.
So in other words, even if you find your enemy in the home, you're not going to attack elsewhere, you may do so. But in the Haram you're not going to do so unless they are attacking you. So if they attack you, then obviously you have to fight back for Encarta lewco Then if they fight you fuck the room then kill them. Why? Cuz Alika like that is desert will caffeine the recompense for the disbelievers.
Meaning if a person does not even respect the huddle, then he will not be respected.
If he does not respect the sanctity of the halal, then his life will not be respected either. And this is the reason why the Scholars have said that if a person commits a crime outside of Makkah and runs into the haram to seek refuge, can you kill him? Can you fight him? Can you punish him there? You cannot.
But if a person commits a crime in the Haram, then where will he be punished? In the Haram
because he did not respect the harm and he will not be respected anywhere.
So Gallica does that will caffeine thus is the punishment the recompense all those who disbelieve
for in into hope, then if they cease into hope, known her yea or nay, to stop and into her to stop oneself to desist to cease.
So if this is if they give up, what do they give up fighting you? Because earlier it was said, fight those who fight you. But let's say they were fighting you previously. Now they said, That's it, we're not going to fight you.
Then what should you do? Fight them anyway. Because they harmed you before so you're going to harm them now know?
If they stop from their violent ways, for in the long afford over him that indeed Allah is Forgiving and he is merciful. And this is especially referring to that if they accept Islam. And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
Think about it. A person who persecuted the Muslims who fought against the Muslims who killed the Muslims.
What would you think such a person should never be forgiven?
Such a person should never be shown any mercy.
But what does Allah say? That even if that person he stops, he repents to Allah, then Allah who will be forgiving and merciful towards him.
Look at the generosity of Allah subhanaw taala look at his column, look at his fuddle how generous he is how forgiving he is our noble he is that no matter who turns to him begging his forgiveness, Allah will forgive him. And we see that for example, the person who killed Hamza, although we're and what was his name? Why she imagined he killed not just a companion, but an uncle of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
He accepted Islam.
Can you imagine he accepted Islam later?
For a Nintendo for in Allah
fora Raheem. And that meant the Muslims were not allowed to harm him anymore before they could, but now no more.
And we see that that same person washy, you know what he did when he became a Muslim afterward. He is the one who killed Muslim Aika
you know what was saying to my cadavers, you can tell by the name Alka their job to create this liar.
He's the one who claimed to be a prophet in imitation of the Prophet Solomon. So then we said, Okay, I will also came to Prophet and he wrote to the Prophet salallahu Salam, you give half the authority to me after kingship to me, and you keep half of it. And he waged war.
So anyway, why she is the one who killed Muslim al Qaeda.
Likewise, we see, call it even Walid Robbie Allahu Anhu. It's amazing. When we reading the seal of the Prophet sallallahu sallam, the Macan era, we're talking about how they've been bullied and josephian. And you don't even want to say bad things, but we can't, because who are they called the avant garde?
Right? Because they later accepted Islam. They're the ones who lead people in battle against the Muslims at Bethel at all.
They're the ones who killed many Muslims, but later, they're the ones who accepted Islam and then they led other Muslims in battle.
Even a B Joel, you heard about him? Who was he? The son of Abuja, who the greatest enemy.
He came over to Abuja, he accepted Islam. He waged war against the prophets of Allah cinemas. Well, think about or model the Allahu Anhu
the man who went out to kill the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is now buried a few inches away from him
for evening to hoe for in the Lucha, Fudo Rahim. Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
And if Allah is so forgiving, then what should we do? Sometimes it happens that a person is harsh to us, they're mean to us. They don't give us our right and they're doing whatever they're doing out of plain ignorance. And later on, they apologize that change their ways, then what should we do?
We should say things like Well, first impression is the last impression that treated me like that I can never forget that image. No, we should also be forgiving if Allah can forgive them. Who are we? Who are we?
If they killed the servants of Allah, the righteous servants of Allah, the worshipers of Allah the companions of the prophets of Allah send them and he had ALLAH forgive them
look at the injustice compare that to the injustice that is done against us. What is that? It's nothing. Then why can't we forgive? for ending the HoH for in Allah Allah food over him
what God you know whom and fight the meaning fight the enemy had the alert Hakuna fitna don't until there is no fitna.
So what is the goal of fighting of war in Islam? Why are Muslims out to fight? Or what is the limit? Or what is the objective? What is the purpose? What is the objective that they have to achieve by fighting?
hatherleigh They're gonna fitna until there is no fitna. So basically, the Muslims are to fight until religious persecution is finished. Until people are not persecuted because of their faith.
So in any place in any time, if people are being persecuted because of their religion, then it is the duty of Muslims to stand up and defend themselves and fight those who create trouble for others.
So what are the to whom had the alert Hakuna fit an atom until there is no fitna? And if you think about it, as long as the enemy will be in power, there will be fitna
Correct. Like, for example, the machine in Africa until they had authority over Makkah, did they persecute the Muslims? Of course they did. Even though the Treaty of her Arabia was signed, still, were the Muslims persecuted? Yes, they were. Was their treachery? Of course there was.
So what's the way of finishing fitna finishing the enemy breaking the power of the enemy? Because if you let someone have power, then what will they do? They will misuse that power.
If you let an oppressive person have even a little bit of power, they will misuse that power, and they will continue to oppress.
So what's the solution? You take all power away from them? Correct? Because if you leave even a little bit with them, they're going to oppress others.
And this is the reason why the prophets of Allah Salam conquered Maka hatherleigh. Hakuna fitna
fitna was completely finished way Hakuna dienen Allah and the deen is only for Allah subhanaw taala. What does the mean over here? Deen means worship. It doesn't just mean religion. It also means worship, meaning all worship is done exclusively for who?
Allah subhanaw taala meaning people worship Allah, people are free to worship Allah.
Because as long as the enemy is going to have power, they're not going to let the Muslims worship Allah. So what do you have to do? Break the power of the enemies so that the Muslims have freedom to worship Allah subhanaw taala.
But remember one thing later on inshallah we will learn
that there are two kinds of non Muslims. There are those non Muslims who persecute Muslims because of their faith.
And there are other kinds of non Muslims who don't persecute Muslims, because of their faith, who say live and let live.
You are allowed to do whatever and we should be allowed to do whatever
you understand.
So in some places, some societies Muslims are not given freedom of religion, and in other societies they are given freedom of religion.
So where they are given freedom of religion, are they divided into those non Muslims? No, but where they are not given freedom of religion, where their rights are being taken away from them, then over there, the Muslims, they have to stand up for themselves. This is why we see that when the Muslims were in Abyssinia. And the senior was the government was Christian. They had religious freedom that the Muslims ever fight the ruler. No, no, they didn't.
But in Makkah, where the authority figures were non Muslims, but they were also persecuting the Muslims because of their faith and over there, the Muslims had to fight them.
So you see, so we're caught you know, who had the ladder gonna fit Nutan way Akona Dino Nila fitting into hold and if they stop if they cease, meaning if the enemy stops persecuting you, fella or the whiner, then there should be no hostility in there or Lavon mean except against to those who transgress or the winds from the reflectors are in there. Well, and what does it Redwine mean? Transgression over here, it does not mean that you commit transgression against those who oppress, but rather over here with one gives the meaning of hostility, any military action, right, it will only be done against to those who oppress.
So in other words, fight only until peace is attained. Once peace is attained that's it no more need to fight. And you will only raise up your arms against those who disrupt that peace. Those who create chaos. Let's listen to the recitation.
Well Auntie Rosie Sabine.
