Aloha America. Hamden. Catherine Paiva Mubarak amfi Alhamdulillah Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar. Oh La ilaha illa Allah. Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar. Allah hit him. Allahu akbar wa either Domine Akbar our algebra, or Adam and sub but our struggle for our camper, either Adam and Helen our camper, Adam on our on our Casa Allahu Akbar, Allahu acabado La ilaha illa Allah, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allah he'll hand all praise due to align His praise and blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, his family, his companions and his followers until the day of judgment. I bear witness that Allah is the only one worthy of worship and Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam

his last and final messenger.

Allahu Akbar, cabbie Allah. Allahu Akbar, Allah Kabira. Allah is the greatest thing as we say this word during these days would reflect upon them. My dear brothers and sisters, my dear Muslims, my dear fellow Muslims. One of the things that I will start my hope about today, reminding myself on all of you. What Allah subhana wa tada have ordered us all to have Taqwa of him. Yeah, you have Medina Amano taco la haka. tokachi. Oh you believe fulfill the absolute meaning of taqwa. Allah subhana wa Tada. Jana tuck was the moment who moved while Heather Amina while Janata men and fifth annual Maha tequila Sharon. Allah have made taqwa is that shield that protection for you and your

family. Yeah, you have Latina amanu in LA, ya la come for Ana. Well, you can't feel uncomfy article. Well, ferula como la hudl fugly of him? Although you have believed if you have tabla, he will grant you up protection, he will grant you a full con. I think that the ability to distinguish which is something make you able to distinguish between right and wrong, what is harmful and beneficial and would remove from you your misdeeds and forgive your sins, and Allah is the possessor of great bounty subhana wa Tada. My brothers and sisters, this eat have come to us, after 10 days of the hedger 10 great days consider the best days of the years as the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam

said, and we see at least 10 days with the best of them all, as the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said in a Yama in de la Yama. Now, the best days that Allah subhanaw taala has in the last month of his eyes is the day of an hour. So be grateful to Allah thankful for him that he has ordained such thing for us that you have taught us such thing. Many nations before us, this day would come on wouldn't recognize the virtue of it wouldn't even know the importance of it. But also paranoid out I have guide Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and his nation to know about the virtue of these days, the days that Allah subhana wa Taala love the most. This is the day of it

hejin Akbar, Allah have made it the 10th eat a celebration, a holiday to the Muslims, who judge and warm will be mean for those who are on hand or those who are not like ourselves. This is a day of happiness, a day of joy, a day of obedience, a day of celebrating the bounty of Allah subhana wa tada and being grateful to Allah, my brothers and sisters, after long years, that Ibrahim alayhis salam lived by himself, only beside him his wife, wishing to have a son that you will help him and aid him in the tasks that Allah Subhana Dada have given him. And in a very old age, Allah subhanho wa Taala blessed him with his son is married. Then later on, Allah ordered him to leave his

smartphone, and his mother had a job in Mecca. And when they grow in his son grow up and became a boy that he can walk beside him and see the future of himself and his son. At that moment, Allah subhanho wa Taala tested him with that hardness of test that Allah subhana wa tada wants to show. He knows this is not going to happen. He knows that the order that he give it to him and I said I'm not meant for itself. rather a loss of Hana data want to demonstrate

to each and every one of us, the absolute submission of Ibrahim alayhis salam, and the absolute submission of the Sun is Marine, that you order him to slaughter his own son, his marine alayhis salam.

And when it became so hard so close to happen, Allah subhana wa tada have replaced the sun with Iran, which is caption of him that Allah Subhana Allah sent down to earth to be slaughtered in the stood. And it became the sin by him and his Salaam, that every year he will do the same. And it became the sin of the prophets after him and the messengers of after him and Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam adopted that I've been ordained to do the same. The Arab at that time, inherited that custom as well and honor that ritual. To the extent that these the ram that was sacrificed by Ibrahim alayhis salam was hand generation after generation on the top of al Qaeda in the Musab the

drainage of Aqaba, they used to have the the basically the horns of the round, until it was burned. When the prophet SAW Selim was in his youth time, and it was lost after that.

My brothers and sisters, there is nothing you can please Allah Subhana Allah to Allah more these days, or today specifically, then offering the over here when butina Jelena ham insha Allah le comfy higher Firth Kuru smell La la la sala for our Java dunu baja for Kuru minha outer mo Pani alma

mater Panini and GMO Hawaii Yahoo hello hey I'm in so early NASA fan will monitor any unfamiliar Allah de la G to che Anupama.

Allah Subhana, Allah to Allah said, and the camels and cattle we have appointed for you, as among the symbols of Allah, for you, they're in this good, so mentioned the name of Allah upon them, when lined up for sacrifice, and when they are lifelessness on their sides, then eat from them and feed the needy and the banker will monitor the banker because who I tell the nurse and he comes sometimes he showed up only basically sometime when there is a need for or a place for sadaqa there is people showed up for taking the syrup, those people should be given and should be treated well and should be held as they need that tell us how we subjugated them to you that you may be grateful to Allah

subhanho wa Taala man I mean Adam II you know man I mean up know Adam Jaco Nabi sallallahu Sallam mean Hamelin Yeoman. Now I have Bo la mirada dem, the son of Adam does not perform any action on the day of an out of this eat, which is more beloved to Allah, then causing the blood of the Qurbani animal of the sacrifice to flow. My brothers and sisters, I know what the hurricane Harvey, there are so many places will not be suitable for offering the over here this year, I know it's going to be a great deal of difficulty for so many to do. So that's why Alhamdulillah witnessing your over here is only sin is only sinner from the Prophet sallallahu sallam. But what you can have, don't

miss this virtual. But what you can do, you can offer it by gift by basically asking someone else somewhere else in the world to offer they'll hear in your behalf. And many of these relief organizations willing to do that you pay them and they will do the overhear on your behalf in so many countries around the world. And you can do that easily online today. And that will be absolutely sufficient. What is not considered of here is to take the amount of money that is basically what's this will fail worth. Let's say it's worth 100 200 $300. Then you take these $300 and you give it in a form of charity. That's called setup. That's called charity. That's fine. But

that's not over here. That's not over here. That's not considered the over here, which is no doubt that over here is more beloved to Allah today than any amount of charity that you might give unless there is a certain circumstances that people in dire need of the money way more than that.

Over here itself and the person cannot give to both my brothers and sisters, while people sacrificing their avahi there are bands that are over here. I hope that we sacrifice

Something else we kill something else while we killing these animals and providing this meat to the poor and to the family and to the friend and to feed others that doesn't the mammal Raja Rahim Allah to Allah tala Luna How about natural whatever had that human avahi Deborah How is that he started talking about other thing metaphorically need to be ended as you in the live this animal for the sake of Allah that is there need to be ended as well in our life for the sake of Allah subhana wa Tada. Like the disunity like that selfishness like that cutting off each one another, like being selfish or only care about yourself and others. Let's end hatred. Let's end violence. Let's end the

cut off between families, between brothers and sisters and family and relatives and in lows. Let's end this kind of practice. Let's make this easy. As we sacrifice our animal we also make a sacrifice by coming forward, to come together to love one another, to end arrogance, and to end racism, individualism, and to come together and to learn how to work as a team. I hope that we end bad habits in our lives, the bad attitude that is holding us back and pulling us down. Like being pessimist. Being all was not pleased with whatever Allah Subhana data giving you not to be content with what alive giving you being all was negative. Let's end these bad habits and attitude when it

comes to dealing with people. Gossip, lying, backbiting, trading,

cheating others and so forth. Let's make the eight. When we think about the overhead and sacrifice, let's make also an end to such bad habits and the beginning of such a different life. My brothers and sisters the days of aids are the days of happiness of visiting one another of reaching out one another of shaking hands with one another. Do not leave this place without reaching out to your friend to your brothers your sisters and making sure that they are okay after this hurricane. If they need help you can give them shake their hands the Prophet sallallahu Sallam said mammen Muslim manial tatiane ferrata Safa Han in level four Allahumma Kabila taraka there is no two Muslims will

shake each other's hand unless Allah forgive their sins before they depart from one another

as long as they are from the same gender, and as long as they are relative to each others as well, if they're not from the same gender, these are the days of drinking and in an amine by drinking the hell out of drinking. The capillaries here has to be watch. These are the process alum said excellent or short of day of drinking and an eating on here that the process of lament the hell out of drinking just in case.

It is forbidden too fast, too fast, the day free. And the next three days as well. It's hot, forbidden for people to fast these days. It's called a competition according to the strongest opinion. My brothers and sisters, I want you to know

that I just get to know there is a street for example, in North Fork and Clear Lake some of you live there are no this familiar, which is a solid they don't have electricity for now since the Hurricanes or their electricity off. I've been yesterday to homes, they have nothing to cook food with or in it. They still are recovering from the hurricane. So this is the day with your reach out to your friends, to your neighbors to make sure that they have what they need to make them happy today. There's people in hotels, there's people in shelters, there's people will really appreciate that maybe hot meal that you provide for them today.

As long as we can take that into consideration and we're always thinking about those around us or need. It is an important thing for us to do today. These are the days of technium Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar. Allah have a map do that. Yes, it is similar to do it after the Salah, but also during the days, it is today, and the next three days until the fourth day basically in a prayer that were the Kabir ends.

This read came in a very difficult time. Hurricane Harvey has been one of the worst natural disaster this country has seen. The rebuilding will be unprecedent as well as it's expected in the last

Few days, we all experience tense emotions, worries about family and about homes and about our neighbors. In these days, many of us are sleepless, many of us work hard. Some of us lost their everything. A young man told me chef, I feel like I just fresh graduate today. Everything I made through the last 10 years of my life, working since I graduated, gone, every money that I haven't invested in my house and completely wasted. I don't know how I'm gonna be able to stand up again on my feet. I don't know how I'm gonna be able to rebuild this house. I don't have any money in you saving everything. I put it there. Some people until today didn't go back to their homes. And

they're not coming back very soon. Many of us thinking what about the schools and other kids like it? But many others worry How were the kids gonna go when the school gonna restart another person have no car, his car is basically flooded. No, man, I mean for transportation. I know a big family couldn't come to eat today, because they have no means of transportation to come to pray with us.

Another person walking with his cane,

outside his house, worry, Uncle What's wrong, our scheduled for surgery. And I don't know when my surgery will be. And he's a cancer patient.

I know there's so many worries out there. And I know some of the brothers and sisters with me today. Also worry about the future. But I want to tell you that with all these worries, that Allah Subhana, Allah would never leave you out that Allah subhanaw taala test you because he knows that you can take that test, because he knows that the outcome will be greater than any destructions or any losses that he experienced during this hurricane. I want you to know that all of us as a community loves you pray for you willing to stand beside you help you as much as we can. And in this regard, I want to mention that many of the Muslim organization in Houston came together unified and stablish A

funds at cold lunch good that our mustard among the hamdullah the earliest group that came in on our stage took a lead in this disarm Alliance, creating us Muslim organization United for hurricane Harvey relief with a $1 million

basically goal in mind to raise and I don't think that's too much. It will takes billions and billions of dollars and let you know that these things, I was just thinking about our own mustard, where all that was that basically considered minimum damage. You talk about 30 to $40,000 you have to spend just to basically to fix the thing that basically got damaged.

And when you look into this, a lot of people say what about insurance and things of that nature and funds from government. These takes months and months to be taken given basically back and many of these insurance company they don't cover flood. So there is people take precautions, but it is tough for so many people. That's why I want to say that please, please, please make sure that you participate in in that fun relief that duration and lunch good. Just go and search for you as Muslim organization United for hurricane Harvey relief. Go to our website, the mustard.org I ch website, write a check to us and said this is for the relief and we will make sure that this is what reached

to the people.

Also we have a special funds. If you want to us to give to a local community here who have been affected. We will take your donation if you want to help those family who almost lost most of what they want most of their assets in life. My brothers and sisters, yes, this hurricane maybe showed us the worst of it. But we have shown the best of us as Eastern Houstonians as a community. Have you seen this young three young teenagers, and they're both in the second day. Basically going around, it's all over the news. I would assume some of them may be 14 years old, and the oldest 1617 years old and their fishing boat everywhere going to rescue people from homes. Have you seen the picture

of this? Six or seven years old Hamza was cleaning the hospital and Regional Hospital here and they're taking the debris and cleaning the area to making sure that people and patient and doctors can go to their basically place are wild

Things are clear, just right after the hurricane. Have you seen a psalm, who opened his restaurant and said, You know, every

policeman will take a hot meal for free. Every person who is in the first responder, I'm giving them their food for free.

Have you seen out the money giving his guys to that rescue groups? I even though he might need it for his own home, but he will prefer to give it to people who are in more need. Have you heard of that family that I called when I heard that Trump in the second floor in their house? And I called him and I said, we tried to organize a relief for you to come to help you. Then he said, Jeff, please send them to so and so I heard about them as well. And maybe they need this help more than me.

Have you heard of Dr. Moose and his family, going to the elderly, their patient, going to their basically shelter helping those for the whole day?

Because they were surrounded by water couldn't go anywhere except that shelter when they heard that their patient basically have made a call for how have you heard of the teenager, young boy and young girls just yesterday, more than 10 houses that at least I'm aware of? That they went in the clean and they working? I have seen Khalid who is and maybe 13 years old, young boy in the Boy Scouts here in our community,

carrying the blowers and drying the floor and helping a mobbing and helping in a family that she doesn't know.

It just happened to be a family that he knows that they need help.

Have you seen all these beautiful response of the community

locally and in the city level and in the nation level.

Texans from surrounding areas brought their boats to Houston so they could try to save some lives. across the US. People praise the people of Texas civilians and first responders for their sense of community and willingness to help each other in this time of basically in need. So proud of you. I got a phone call from rally, Islamic Center, calling me chef, is your mustard in need of any help raise funds is any family in your community needs help? What can what we can do we are in rally, but we feel that is that basically the urge to help tell us how can we help you guys?

We should be grateful and thankful to Allah first for all what he planned and decreed upon us. And we know that that is a great wisdom behind and we also be grateful and thankful to those who sacrificed their life

Sergent parade's lost his life in this hurricane helping people and Muslim groups have starting funds and lunch good if you go and search it, basically to raise funds for his family, first responders, this will volunteer those who helping others, we should be grateful and thankful to them. And when you see one of them think you know what you all helping and hamdulillah you all deserve to be think. So think one another, celebrate the praise of philosophy to Allah today. My brothers and sisters,

I also would like to recognize the great effort that has been put to make sure that we have power all the time and those who lost power immediately the power game back. You know, with all the screens, still, I'm amazed by the amount of universe, our city ability to observe the rain and drainage and many homes were saved. I'm just thinking of this as somewhere else. How much the disaster would have been? What can we learn from this? Number one I want you to no matter how bad it was for three days or four days, consecutive days, rainy and gloomy. But the sun came down the end of the storm.

This is how your life is no matter how difficult it is there is always light at the end of the tunnel. We should be grateful to Allah subhanaw taala for all the blessings that we have that we don't recognize the value of it.

We are very spoiled nation and a loss and warnings. So if we don't learn from this, to be grateful and thankful to Allah for all the things that we have, and not to be a wasting nation.

I'm not sure what will be next. Let's learn from this to be grateful and thankful and appreciate everything that Allah has given us. Also, this hurricane have shown me the importance of knowing one another.

I beg you in the next week or so, I'm going to be sending a mass email and bugging you every Friday.

Please, if you don't do that, go to our website and do register your name, your email, you know, some basic informations about you. When we needed to reach out to our community, I found out that we don't have the proper database, we don't have the resources, we don't know who we can go to help in this area of that area. This is something we should prepare for that. And it will require from us to know one another to know about each others. And I guarantee you that this will be full confidentiality.

Also, it's important to train ourselves to be prepared to take the precautions. This is not the only carry can we can experience there is others coming as well. So let's get ready and prepare ourselves as a community as individuals. I asked Allah subhanaw taala to protect all of us. Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah. Allah enhance

Alhamdulillah wa salatu salam ala Milena via via that

there is no time to talk about my other point that I had in mind to speak. But it cannot leave the hope of eat without talking about a very important incident took place recently that we cannot ignore it as a community. We cannot ignore it as a society,

which is what happened in Charlottesville.

Just few weeks back, when basically the racism and violence in Charlottesville took place. This is didn't occur in a vacuum, and similar events are coming up.

The United the right, the two days rally that took place in Charlottesville is something should be very alarming for all of us as society. And for us, especially as the Muslim community.

It's not about the Confederate General Robert E. Lee is not this demonstration is about it's not about preserving history. It's about something else.

That demonstration Aftermath led to a dead young woman 19 injure a nation that skirt.

Those white supremacist and white violence cover the campus of basically of Virginia, the University of Virginia that day, they were chanting and saying something interesting in my I was like reflecting upon that shouting, saying blood and soil, blood and soil.

What blood does people have a spell to live here? What soil that they have work and by choice by choice. They also know what's blood and soil are the slaves who work in these lands and dispel their bloods in these lands. It's the soils that that is mix with their DNA today. Where the force into slavery to work in these plantations.

Saying white life matters. We will not be replaced. Just when you think about what basically have given what these slogans means. What the shout mean. You know, what kind of oppressions that those people have experienced in their life, or who they represent what kind of oppression that they have experienced, to shout out and to say such things.

Hi, don't remember the great crime parents being enslaved because of the law or being robbed by the law. I don't remember them being shot at unarmed. I don't remember their ancestors being hanging trees. I don't remember their mothers and fathers living in fear that ice will come and tear the family apart. I don't remember them getting kicked off flights for wearing their buttoned down shirt or breakfast on test or wearing their coo fees or wearing the hijab because they make some other passengers uncomfortable. I don't remember legislation being created to try and control their bodies, or having a travel ban placed on them for their religion. I don't remember the centuries

they had to go through to prove their equality in education and intellect. I don't remember seeing them being Mr. Random. Every time they fly or to come to the country. They randomly selected for a secondary check for security reason.

I was waiting

Wondering what the chatting for what the afraid of

what the fear what really the fear is all about.

When they say we will not be replaced, and you know what they are afraid. What they're afraid to be replacing by.

They are afraid being replaced, has the only life that matters.

They are afraid for being replaced as the only voice in public.

That is hurt. They're afraid of being replaced as the majority as the minority rise in America and taking over that voice of the minority of voice that we have the right to fight for a voice we use for a purpose, not a voice we use solely for anger.

If a group of people of colors are Muslims did that demonstration that day, walking the street with this storage?

It will not be the same outcome. You will see the new say homegrown tourism. People apply Shetty on the streets of Virginia. You will hear next day and then us and everybody you will hear a president jumping and saying all terrorists and condemning terrorists and we will do this and

you will not hear both sides.

After a long waiting for even our president to to say something which is he disappointed me but he never surprised me.

Basically had said nothing about this. My brother and sisters, the Southern Poverty Law Center's has been identify 917 active group eight groups among white supremacist 917. This is a serious business, we should be very careful with what we do. Number one quickly. One of the best things talk about racism. Talk about you know that the real meaning of America is being together as one nation, colorful nation.

Talk about this don't allow one person to walk away with a racist remark.

on a practical level, make sure that we should be regularly calling our representatives and pushing them to protect us and pass law that will protect us as as a minority vote out any white supremacist or it premises supporter or lover

from their office votes in those who will stand up for equality for all of justice for all.

being engaged and active in your community. Support the organization that fight bigotry, and racism and Islamophobia. We can push back by not letting anyone to intimidate us or bully us around.

United being together as a Muslim community as a society in large, working together, understanding the history of white supremacy and the complicity of it so you know how to address it. And finally, make sure that you're asked to protect us from the evil of such people. These groups are so dangerous not only for us that isn't for law enforcement as well. My brothers and sisters, today is a demo day. Who ever prayed eat with us not attend the hotbar who prayed the Torah cows and pray to the State Duma for them is optional. They can pray tomorrow or they can pray for her. But you can just go unchecked and you know pray at all. Yeah, either to pray joumana or to pray this opinion for

nobuhiro Juma is a weak opinion not adopted by many scholars at all. And that basically still have to pray either lower or Duma if you wish, we will have the Juma here inshallah to Allah May Allah Subhana Allah forgive our sins melas planet Allah help hobo soul, aloha morpholino Hamner wife enough I know I couldn't use it in our ham now Mr. Brahimi llaman and silica houda our FF Alina lamalfa
