Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh my brothers,
my sisters in Islam, welcome back to Roaming
Ramadan,
lessons on the road. I'm still in the
UK attending
one of the largest conferences in the globe,
and that is Light Upon Light. Mashallah Tabarakallah.
It was a delight to see so many
Masha'ikh and so many brothers and sisters involved
in Dawah and this part of the world
after such a long time. I knew them
before,
and it was, alhamdulillah, a delight for me
to meet them in person for the first
time. But this is not why we are
recording this video. The reason why I'm recording
this video is that I made a promise
to myself
since
October 7th. And what happened in Ghazza in
Palestine
in the past couple of months, I made
a promise to myself that any lecture, any
video, anything that I would do in public,
I have to remind the people of our
duty as brothers and sisters, as Muslims,
toward our brothers and sisters in Palestine.
And SubhanAllah, one of the people who reminds
me all the time of this issue, Sheikh
Omar Suleyman,
who is part of the panelist speakers, MashaAllah
Tabarakallah with us. I have noticed
that every time we ask him a very
general question, very general question, he must bring
the issue of Palestine and Gaza in discussion
and remind the Muslims of their duties and
obligations towards this. Because my brothers and sisters
in Islam, listen very carefully.
Masjid,
Jerusalem or Al Quds or Baytul Maqdis,
this city where al Masjid al Aqsa lies
is a matter of aqeedah
for the believers. It's not just a political
issue. This is way beyond that. This is
a matter
of your faith. It's like if I told
you, imagine with me, the Kaaba is now
under siege. The Kaaba now is controlled by
the enemies of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. How
would you feel? Would you just make Dua?
Will there be just sufficient making dua and
that's it? We cannot do anything. Do not
ever fall into that trap of the only
thing we can do is dua. No allahi,
we can do more than that. Number 1,
du'a
by default, by default is something that we
should do regularly. The prophet
said, Du'a is worship, is the essence of
worship. You are fulfilling the purpose of your
very existence by making dua day and night.
So it's not just because what's happening to
our brothers and sisters in Palestine now you're
gonna make dua. No, you should make dua
for them anyway. They've been in this misery
for almost 80 years. So we should be
doing dua anyway, lifetime dua, 80 years. Come
on. So du'a is one thing, don't quit
it. But on the top of that, continue
raising awareness about the issue. Let your children
and the next generations and whoever is on
planet
earth understand
the rights and the plight of the Palestinians.
Number 3, find reputable organizations,
charitable organizations that are sending aid and necessities
to our brothers and sisters, wallahi,
they are
suffering from poverty and hunger.
I read a statistic just yesterday, 90%
of the population of Ghazza, they suffer hunger.
They are hungry. And when hunger strike, my
brothers and sisters in Islam, you can sense
danger. You
can feel that people will turn against each
other. We don't want that to happen to
our brothers and sisters in Islam. So help
as much as you can. But as I
mentioned, find reputable organizations. Thirdly or fourthly, put
some pressure on reputable organizations.
Thirdly or fourthly, put some pressure on your
governments
to do something about it. Now, South Africa
had filed a case against Israel who committed
genocide act against the Palestinians. So do whatever
it takes, whatever lawfully
possible to remind the people of their rights
and obligation toward the brothers and sisters in
Palestine. So, this is my side now of
the story. Insha'Allah Ta'ala, later on when Sheikh
Umar arrived to the hall, I'll take him
aside and I will ask him that question.
Why is it Sheikh Umar that every time
you speak since October 7th, you never let
a speech or a video pass by just
like that without
bringing the issue of Palestine and Gaza to
discussion. May Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala reward you
all. Stay tuned until we bring Sheikh Omar
to you inshallah in this special episode.
Assalamu alaikumabulla.
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has sanctified people. Allah
has sanctified places, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has
sanctified symbols. There is no place in the
world subhanAllah where you will find that Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has sanctified the place, the
people, and the symbols. Mazal Aqsa, the first
qiblah of the Muslims.
The place where the Prophet salallahu alayhi wasalam
let all of the prophets in salah. The
place from where the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
ascended to the heavens. Al Baytul Maqdis, the
place Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala mentions
that we not only blessed the place, but
we blessed Mahullah. We blessed everything that's around
it as well. The whole land of Palestine
is sacred. And finally, the people. If you
were to take the ahadith about Ahlusham as
a whole, the people of Ahlusham as a
whole, Palestine, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, subhanAllah,
You could be reading all day and night.
The prophet praised these people so much. Specifically,
al Murabitun,
those that hold it down, those that insist
on fighting back against the oppression in Palestine
and making sure that they maintain their existence
even as people seek to erase them on
behalf of the entire Ummah. So there's no
place where you find all of these sanctities
combined.
And so, therefore, our activism on their behalf,
our voice on their behalf is also sacred,
Bayid Nuhaytan.
Alhamdulillah. And Sheikh Nuh, one last thing, I
know I know I told you one question,
but how can we even take
Remind and be reminded as the voices start
to become less and as the work for
Palestine starts to become less, then cling and
attach yourself to the groups of people that
are being consistent with it, InshaAllah Ta'ala. So
remind others when you see it being forgotten
and let others remind you, InshaAllah Ta'ala, cling
to those places where it's going to be
remembered in the night time and there'll be
consistent work for it, InshaAllah.
