			Aloha.
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:08
			Hey.
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:49
			In your hamdulillah in Canada who want to stay in who want to study you want to stop Pharaoh, when I
will be live in Shoreham fusina woman say it a marina Maja de la Fernando De La Hoya. Farah hodja.
Who shadow Allah Allah illallah wa Jalla wa shadow Mohammed Abdullah who was sued
		
00:02:51 --> 00:03:11
			by the law, all praise due to Alon 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 I was the only one worthy of worship and Muhammad Sallallahu wasallam his last
and final messenger
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:16
			and nibio sal Allahu Allahu alayhi wa sallam
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:21
			once was making off around Acaba
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:24
			and the people have
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:32
			gathered watching him some Allahu Allahu Allah He was sending and among them
		
00:03:33 --> 00:04:02
			among us, and his son reported he was very young at that time, reported the incident, watching his
uncle's the older among his community, what the say what do you think of the Prophet Muhammad
Sallallahu wasallam. So the said, We have never ever tolerated a person a man before in our village
in our city, the way we tolerated this man, muscle bottom now.
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:11
			Seth Lamanna or Shama Abba, Anna, Deena, Nakajima, Atlanta,
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:35
			Atlanta, Hector sooner. Me Denali, this man have marked our religion, have insulted our forefathers
this men have said things which is so insulting and cause a great deal of disturbing in our society
in our community. So while they're saying this, and they see the profits or sanlam, just walking by
them,
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:52
			so they start throwing words on the prophets, Allah, Allah, Allah you it was selling them making fun
of Allah making fun of his message, making fun of the Quran, one time two times three times.
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:59
			Then they were like, mocking the prophets of Salaam and threatening the prophets of Southern so
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:18
			The prophets are Solomon the third time he stopped and he looked at the people of polish and he said
yeah Masha Polish Oh people of polish. One lady in FCW Mohammed in Beardy, I swear by the one who
was my soul in his hand. Naka to come
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:26
			if you don't stop, what I have for you the news for you that you will be slaughtered,
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:37
			you will end up dead. If you don't stop what knowing what you what you're doing, if you don't stop
saying what you say, if you don't stop what you
		
00:05:39 --> 00:06:00
			basically the behavior that you have. And that's exactly what happened because it ended up a battles
between the Muslim later on, and those people who insisted in fighting the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wasallam and everyone in that gathering ended up dead in that battle the Battle of better
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:28
			so NW sallallahu alayhi wa sallam aware and knows that that what will lead them to an abaya. Salalah
alayhi wa sallam said that even though at that time, his sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has he doesn't
have any power. He was sallallahu Sallam among only a few of his companions a lot he said that
doesn't
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:31
			it's not religion
		
00:06:34 --> 00:07:23
			so I'm gonna vanilla. I said when the prophesy solemn said that everyone among the people of orange
remain silent I was like basically stunned by what the prophets are solemn said next day the profits
are solid again making off around the cabin. But this day they did not only kept marking him and
throwing words in him. When the profits are seldom came all of them jumped on the Prophet sallallahu
wasallam telling him we'll show you who will kill who then we start beating the profits allow it was
so hard. To the extent that Abdullayev never I said I saw one of them grabbing the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, from his rope back into the to the back. And another one beating him
		
00:07:23 --> 00:08:10
			from the front jumping over him until I go back into the game, pushing them away while he's crying
and saying, I talked to Luke or Julian A or B Allah. are you killing a man who only saying Allah is
my Lord, then the left the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam alone. I'm delighted. I'm Ross. So
this is the worst I have seen kurush ever done to the prophets on Sunday. Definitely they have done
more. But that's what I've done live number of the house have witnessed this marking this bt this
humiliation did not stop the process of them from coming out the second day and the third day and
continued will allow you to send them to deliver his message. job that on the lower end said the
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:46
			people have already gathered one day. Then they said Who among you knows more about magic. And those
fortune tellers and those whose people who have spoken words, you know, because that was the thought
Mohammed Salim is someone who knows how to speak well or just a magician or a person who tells about
the future. Then he said this man have caused a great deal of disturbing to our community have said
things that insulted our religion insulted us. So let's have someone go talk to him. So they said we
couldn't find anyone better than rich. But
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:50
			then they said yeah, I believe rich but you go talk to him.
		
00:08:52 --> 00:09:25
			called Mr. La hemara in Soho, amaura Murakami coming for rock Canada who told the province of Salem
we have not seen anyone brought bad luck to his people like you. You have basically divided us you
have caused a great deal of disturbing you have said things which is not appropriate about our
religion. You have exposed us you have shamed us among all the Arabs, your own people, your own
tribe, became a monk among all other tribes in Arabia.
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:36
			They keep saying encourage a magician and Quraysh Akan aversion to Teller, encourage a person who's
insane going mad.
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:44
			Then he said, You met and I'm saying how he's speaking to the process. I'm just quoting what he
said.
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:56
			You man, even though he knows his name, they are related to each other, but to see the way he's
speaking to the prophets of Allah. He said you man, are you Hi Roger. If you need money,
		
00:09:57 --> 00:10:00
			we will make you the richest person in our community.
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:06
			If you want to woman we will marry you to the most beautiful woman in our society.
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:18
			If you want so art if you want to be famous and respected and powerful, we will not we will promise
you line up.
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:32
			We will not make a decision without your permission. And if you want more than that to be a king,
which is Arab never had kings, we will agree to make you the king of Mecca. Then in the Bissell
allow it was seldom said
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:36

00:10:38 --> 00:10:45

			Purple dot two comes on mithila. So
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:20

from the Eternally merciful

			unlimited Tenzin zz 10 zero Min hammington zero Minerva Minerva him the Most Merciful.
		
00:14:29 --> 00:15:00
			A book whose verses have been detailed, and Arabic put on for people who note so don't claim that
this is poetry. You know what's poetry This is not a poetry This is not a speak of a magician or
person who's insane as a giver of good tiding and Warner but most of them turn away so they don't
hear and they say our hearts are within coverings from
		
00:15:00 --> 00:16:03
			That to which invites us and in our ears is definis. And between us and you is a partition, Su work
indeed we are working, say, oh Mohammed, I'm only a man like you, to whom it has been revealed that
your God is but one God. So take a straight course to him and seek His forgiveness, and oh to those
who associate other with a lot. Those who do not give Zakat, and in the hereafter they are
disbelievers, indeed those who believe and do righteous deed for them. Is there any word on
interrupted? So do you indeed disbelieve in he who created the earth in two days, and attribute to
him equals, that is the Lord of the words, and he placed on the earth firmly set mountains over its
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:13
			service. And he blessed it, and determined there in its creatures sustenance, in four days, without
distinguishing
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:28
			for the inform of those who seek. Then he decreed himself to the heavens, while it was smoke, and
said to attend to Earth come into begin.
		
00:16:30 --> 00:17:17
			into being willingly or by compulsion, they said, We have come willingly Our Lord, and He completed
them, seven heavens within two days, and inspired and each heaven its command, and we adorned that
nearest heaven with lambs, which is the stars and as a protection, that is the determination of the
Exalted in Might, the knowing, but if the turn away, then say, I have warned you of a thunder
bullet, like the thunder bowed that stroke at and removed the people before you. And that's how the
process of them answered him.
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:26
			said that said, don't read anymore. That's all what you have for me. He said, that's all what they
have for you. That's my answer.
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:32
			Again, appleberry reported
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:37
			that in what he did in mahira, an acid nuwa in an acid
		
00:17:38 --> 00:18:08
			and omega have been harder. These are the leaders of Quraysh came to the Prophet Mohammed Sal
Solomon, this is Dr. Mohammed, let's make a deal. Let's make you worse. We will worship your God
your God your Lord one year, and you worship ours one year. How's that? How if we all both agree
that we worship the gods of each other? We recognize that each of us correct that our religion is
correct, and your religion is correct.
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:10
			And he said,
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:19
			if we have any good in our religion, you're sharing it and if you have any good in your religion, we
sharing it with you what our logic
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:42
			and if in the next live or later on that's come to be the truth, our religion and your falsehood,
you're safe. And the same thing for us. Then in the B cell allowed to you it was sent them recited
for them a verse that the law revealed at that point, only a few rune
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:46
			boo, boo boo.
		
00:18:50 --> 00:19:15
			Boo wanna be Doom? Doom, the whole entire school, say, Oh, this believers, I don't worship, what you
worship, nor you are worshippers of what I worship, nor will I be a worshipper of what you worship.
Nor will you be worshipers of what I worship, for you is your religion. And for me is my religion.
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:59
			Again, they came to the prophets of Salaam and they said, Dr. Mohammed, we don't want you to worship
our religion, or our gods, we will compromise with you. They said, Dr. Mohammed, what do we want
from you is to just show a gesture of acceptance. don't worship our gods, just shows a gesture of
acceptance, the asking banking that's only what it takes. You go to our idols and wipe over them
Dumisani hatena you just wipe over touching. Just that said on what we want from you. And we want
one more thing. You just wait one year, don't speak about our religion. Don't speak about what
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:04
			We believe don't speak about theology don't speak about all this belief in for one year
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:18
			and just ignore this for one year leave what you have for one year let's things comes down. Then
after a year we revisit this whole thing and nobody's thought about it.
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:34
			Maybe this is something maybe this is something can be done with what can be compromised on a lot of
revealed to him vs. La ilaha illallah wa in Kaduna ft no naka de la de
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:39

00:21:05 --> 00:21:17
			and silicon slop and indeed, they were about to tempt you away from which we reveal to you your
Mohammed in order to make you invite
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:35
			to make you a friend. So they will take you as a friend and a close friend. So to invite you to say
something else then what we have revealed to you and if you have done that they would have taken you
as a close friend a close ally
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:57
			and if we had not stringing you, you would have have almost inclined to them a little and then if
you had we would have made you taste double punishment and live and double after death then you
would not find for yourself against us any helper
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:15
			had been an ambassador of the allow uncomment he said the profits are subtle and never reveal
inclined in obese also never agreed he was infallible. This verse is to show the believers after
Mohammed Salah Lhasa learn how to deal in such cases.
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:23
			Do you guys know that one of his biggest supporter in the beginning of his Dawa was his uncle
avoided
		
00:22:25 --> 00:22:38
			a lot of people don't think don't know that. I'm gonna have in the beginning of Islam was supporter
of the prophets of Salaam because this is his nephew. Do you know how he lost the support of a
Buddha?
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:51
			The couldn't touch Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam after his uncle Abu Talib died because a
Buddha had said I'm now his uncle unresponsible when nobody allowed to touch him.
		
00:22:52 --> 00:23:11
			And he was so firm in defending the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam. So, he said, Come here
Abuja, Kenya, Bella comma Buddha, and let's talk to your nephew. Then he asked the Prophet
sallallahu sallam, where is your father?
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:13
			Now?
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:20
			Where did he go after death? Where is your grandfather? Now what is Abdulmutallab?
		
00:23:21 --> 00:23:26
			So now this is a boy labs brother and father. He said what are they?
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:35
			They said the prophets of Salaam didn't give a diplomatic answer. He said they are with their
people.
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:46
			Kinda whom Morocco me him. Then Rockabye said Nana, tell me where they are. And their people. The
prophets of Salaam said in hellfire.
		
00:23:50 --> 00:24:03
			A Buddha have said my father, my brother will lie I will never defend you ever again. And my
animosity declared against you until the rest of my life
		
00:24:05 --> 00:24:06
			and how he lost
		
00:24:10 --> 00:24:16
			a tribe of benissa came to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:24
			And they said yeah, Mohammed, we have enough soldier, enough money,
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:30
			enough followers, enough influence in Arabia to give you full protection,
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:37
			for protection 100% you religion will be spread all over the world.
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:39
			But we have one condition.
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:52
			Then he said What is it? They said an akuna amarula nam in baddeck. You appointed us to be ruler
over every believer.
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:59
			You make it a condition that after you die, we became the rulers, the Kings they
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:03
			So the potential of Muhammad Sallallahu sallam,
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:10
			but the thought it's a political movement, it's not, it's a belief, it's a faith.
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:16
			They want to make money out of this dollar, they want to make a position of fame, a name for
themselves,
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:22
			then in the B cell allowed to sell them said, an unruly la Yaga, who hates
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:35
			the leaders belong to Allah Subhana Allah, He will appoint and choose and guide whomever to lead
after me. It's not something I have in my hand.
		
00:25:36 --> 00:25:39
			My brothers and sisters, principals
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:53
			believes or not something just exists in the books, or in the heart and the mind of people. It does
something alive have to be seen, have to be witnessed,
		
00:25:54 --> 00:25:56
			have to be demonstrated.
		
00:25:58 --> 00:26:11
			And if you really want to know the value of your principles and faith that you claim that you have,
see how much you willing to sacrifice for these principles, and these believes that you have in your
heart.
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:32
			It's so cheap, it's so easy to say I have these principles, but how much you willing to steadfast,
how much you willing to hold into them, how much you willing not to bend, not to compromise these
principles, not to leave them and, or whatever pressure.
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:49
			I'm saying this because we live in a time where principles became very cheap, to be sold out for a
cheap price, very easy to give up your principles. We today live in a time
		
00:26:50 --> 00:27:18
			where many people even live and die and they have nothing to live for. They have no really true
principles in life. They have nothing that the standarized in life and their life, nothing that they
really believe in and be willing to do whatever it takes, you know what I'm gonna hold on to this
are they willing to give up everything so easily? The thing that the left all the live knows that
this is the half, this is the truth. This is the ultimate right?
		
00:27:20 --> 00:27:22
			It is became controversial.
		
00:27:23 --> 00:27:32
			It became, you know, negotiator, something you're willing to negotiate, and you're willing to
discount and you're willing to change.
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:34
			today.
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:52
			Unfortunately, we live in a time when there is so much pressure on people not to have principles in
life, and to make everything in life relevant. Everything in life can be questioned. Everything of
life, it's changeable.
		
00:27:53 --> 00:28:03
			For money, for desire for fame, under the media pressure, under the pressure of government, and so
forth.
		
00:28:05 --> 00:28:13
			I asked Allah Subhana Allah to help us to hold into our principle that we believe in until we die
upon the messenger to mostofa allottee
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:23
			hamdu Lillah wa salatu salam ala Nabi abajo, that
		
00:28:25 --> 00:28:26
			my brothers and sisters
		
00:28:32 --> 00:28:33
			I am calling
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:45
			for firms, but without hardness or harshness, stood first steadfastness without dogmatism
		
00:28:48 --> 00:28:50
			love, without weakness.
		
00:28:51 --> 00:29:16
			There's a difference between these two things. I think one of the problem today that a lot of people
don't have clear principles, we don't teach and focus on principles anymore in our down or massaged
in our social media in our discussions, we became so distracted with the branches, if I may say,
with the small little things here and there. That's the thing that we are very fascinated with
today.
		
00:29:20 --> 00:29:59
			quick example before I end up, one is beautiful example a brother yesterday was telling me even
though I love the point that he mentioned about sort of Allah Tada, no later, sort of ponder that it
is, you know, has 114 words. And it has 30 words, 114 letters, you know, that's the number of the
sutras and the 30 basically 30 Jews, and the word I'll cut out in nanofiller little card comes in
the basically, and 27 so all this like to come, you know, and he said,
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:08
			What do you think of the scholar who was thinking of that? I said, Yeah, and you follow the end? Do
you have too much time in his hand?
		
00:30:09 --> 00:30:36
			Yeah, it's so unique. I agree. But that's, you know, sometimes we become so fascinated with stuff
like that, especially over the social media. And we leave the whole entire principle concept behind
it. Another person show me all this to add that the social media made up stories made up ahaadeeth
for people to be spreading it around. But the true principles are not anymore exists.
		
00:30:38 --> 00:30:51
			When people have doubt, that you know, agenda can be entered by the disbelievers by people who don't
believe in Allah and Muhammad Sallallahu wasallam. Today, what principles left?
		
00:30:52 --> 00:30:54
			When you doubt your own religion,
		
00:30:57 --> 00:31:10
			that you know what it could be this or that it's okay. Yeah, and I'm not going to go into details
because of the time. But what I'm saying is we need to go back and focus on the principles so we
have real principles to hold into them.
		
00:31:11 --> 00:31:27
			Be very careful not to make your own culture practices, or your own opinions principles that you're
not willing to compromise on them. Because that's another problem. dogmatism is another problem that
I don't want to have.
		
00:31:28 --> 00:31:35
			And also, I want to cite, don't ever be arrogant if you're among those who still hold on to
principles.
		
00:31:37 --> 00:32:21
			But I can't emphasize enough the importance of us as a community to start revival, I'm seeing a very
clear signs that coming ahead of us as a Muslim community, as a community in general, even non
Muslim, that people kids and young generation have no principles anymore. There is no principles and
rules in the house. There is no principle and rules in the way we deal with each others. It is
principle that my generation generation before me used to have a look at the Indonesian did not they
have another principles, they have no principles and most of the time, and that's so dangerous. It
can become if you don't have something to stand for you fall for anything. I ask Allah Subhana Allah
		
00:32:21 --> 00:32:47
			to protect all of us and ask a las panatela to give us guidance in this life and the hereafter, and
help to touch upon this shala later and other lectures and talk alone morpholino would have no off

00:38:06 --> 00:38:57
			Three families will be competing with each others after taraweeh so it's going to be a fun night
please join us also have the last since we opened the mustard as you see our construction is
finished not 100% finished we still have a few things to go but I show my name is Allah Hara put
this together. To give you an idea, what's our fundraising for 2017 should look like. So the mustard
since we start the constructions that from the previous from the parking lot time and this one. So
we have about $340,000 in debt that is $100,000. We got as a loan from unfavourable center, for
example, just to boost our construction to this place. So we can pray here, plus the 240 from last
		
00:38:57 --> 00:39:49
			year, we paid about 200 last year and handled on Ramadan. So you talk about $340,000 in debt. And we
talked about it around $200,000 in estimation, usually we collect 150 for the mustard, but we
estimated this year is going to be at 200,000. And for reasons I want to say that Sharla my
intention after Ramadan to actively hire at least a part time a youth director. We used to have a
youth director here before and I can see how much the work kids or youth suffered a lot since he
left our community. Many parents have talked to me I can tell you I have seen the impact of it. Not
coming to the mustard. I can see and feel that and everyone on the team feel that way. So this is
		
00:39:49 --> 00:39:59
			something in the top of my priority when I give up that position two years ago, or three years ago.
It's because I know the expenses of the master and I need the foundation, the infrastructure
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:47
			I've always believed and I will always continue to believe that investing in human resource and
human being way more important than investing in building. What's the point from this building if we
don't have those who will fold it up. And I am committed to that, as well. I'm committed this year
to Charlotte to IRA is to hire also a part time assistant in a female Eman which is a sister alerted
female scholar or a student of knowledge to be an assistant to me to deal with a lot of things that
will lead to toxicity, a huge amount of sister comes here. They need a lot of work a lot of
attention, fear me, I do my best. But still, I will have a limited role versus someone who has also
		
00:40:47 --> 00:41:35
			learned it and will train to deal with a lot of the challenges our community how I'm willing and
committed to invest in so many resources in our community in Charlotte, Tara to make this community
a role model for for all Houston not only for Muslim community, but for Houston and hopefully for
the nation as well. I'm not going to go into how much you're going to raise but I would love as
every year every week we have a target. So shall I hope between today and if thought time. I don't
know if you come to a thought or not. But if you're not, please make sure that we meet our first
goal on my first goal is to achieve $100,000 this week, inshallah Tada. So that will be my goal of
		
00:41:36 --> 00:42:24
			today between after Juma and after taraweeh. I always I've been doing this several years now first
Juma, I don't ask how much you want to raise. I always want to see if I leave it to you what I get,
usually I don't get much, but hopefully this year will be it will be different because I'm going to
get you inshallah anyway. Don't Don't let's make it us. Maybe we can reach 100,000 without even
asking someone, I just want to put you in the picture. This place or this work doesn't come cheap,
doesn't come for free. And I'm telling you, I don't have a Saudi government pay for this or Egyptian
government pay for this, nor term pay for this. Okay? They nobody paid for that. It's only us on
		
00:42:24 --> 00:42:50
			Allah subhanaw taala choose us to take this responsibility. So you know the size of what we need to
go to achieve. It's about $440,000 this Ramadan. So please be very generous. I asked you, if you
donated look at the best donation you ever made for the master. If you ever did 20,000 30,000 maybe
once in your life to the Master, please do it this year again.
		
00:42:52 --> 00:42:59
			And I promise you inshallah, hopefully if we cover all our expenses, as we go on, you know, what
will be weightless
		
00:43:00 --> 00:43:13
			stress for us when it comes to funds in the future. So can you raise your hand those who have pledge
forms, our people our pledge form? Can you raise your hand? We look around you the closest one.
Anybody in this area has a pledge form.
		
00:43:15 --> 00:43:41
			Am I right? Can you know the one who has the pledge form? Raise your hand. All right. So you guys
look around you. You see them, they have the pledge form they will be in the back, reach out to
them, fill your pledges, and I will see how much you're going to collect the sweet sister as well.
There is sisters back there, raise your hand if you have the pledge form. So let's see how much
we're gonna collect without mentioning any numbers and I will let you know after tomorrow inshallah.
Thank you very much.
