Hey.
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
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
and nibio sal Allahu Allahu alayhi wa sallam
once was making off around Acaba
and the people have
gathered watching him some Allahu Allahu Allah He was sending and among them
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.
Seth Lamanna or Shama Abba, Anna, Deena, Nakajima, Atlanta,
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,
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.
Then they were like, mocking the prophets of Salaam and threatening the prophets of Southern so
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
if you don't stop, what I have for you the news for you that you will be slaughtered,
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
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
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
it's not religion
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
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
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
then they said yeah, I believe rich but you go talk to him.
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.
They keep saying encourage a magician and Quraysh Akan aversion to Teller, encourage a person who's insane going mad.
Then he said, You met and I'm saying how he's speaking to the process. I'm just quoting what he said.
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,
we will make you the richest person in our community.
If you want to woman we will marry you to the most beautiful woman in our society.
If you want so art if you want to be famous and respected and powerful, we will not we will promise you line up.
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
para ferrata ability.
Are you done? Yeah but worried. He said yes. What do you have your Mohammed? Then in the basis of themselves?

Purple dot two comes on mithila. So
that's 13 verses from the beginning of sort of soft fat starts with Hamming. This is a revelation from the Eternally merciful
unlimited Tenzin zz 10 zero Min hammington zero Minerva Minerva him the Most Merciful.
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
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
service. And he blessed it, and determined there in its creatures sustenance, in four days, without distinguishing
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.
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.
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.
Again, appleberry reported
that in what he did in mahira, an acid nuwa in an acid
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.
And he said,
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
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
boo, boo boo.
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.
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
We believe don't speak about theology don't speak about all this belief in for one year
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.
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

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
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
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
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.
Do you guys know that one of his biggest supporter in the beginning of his Dawa was his uncle avoided
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?
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.
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?
Now?
Where did he go after death? Where is your grandfather? Now what is Abdulmutallab?
So now this is a boy labs brother and father. He said what are they?
They said the prophets of Salaam didn't give a diplomatic answer. He said they are with their people.
Kinda whom Morocco me him. Then Rockabye said Nana, tell me where they are. And their people. The prophets of Salaam said in hellfire.
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
and how he lost
a tribe of benissa came to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
And they said yeah, Mohammed, we have enough soldier, enough money,
enough followers, enough influence in Arabia to give you full protection,
for protection 100% you religion will be spread all over the world.
But we have one condition.
Then he said What is it? They said an akuna amarula nam in baddeck. You appointed us to be ruler over every believer.
You make it a condition that after you die, we became the rulers, the Kings they
So the potential of Muhammad Sallallahu sallam,
but the thought it's a political movement, it's not, it's a belief, it's a faith.
They want to make money out of this dollar, they want to make a position of fame, a name for themselves,
then in the B cell allowed to sell them said, an unruly la Yaga, who hates
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.
My brothers and sisters, principals
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,
have to be demonstrated.
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.
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.
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
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?
It is became controversial.
It became, you know, negotiator, something you're willing to negotiate, and you're willing to discount and you're willing to change.
today.
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.
For money, for desire for fame, under the media pressure, under the pressure of government, and so forth.
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
hamdu Lillah wa salatu salam ala Nabi abajo, that
my brothers and sisters
I am calling
for firms, but without hardness or harshness, stood first steadfastness without dogmatism
love, without weakness.
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.
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,
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?
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.
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?
When you doubt your own religion,
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.
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.
And also, I want to cite, don't ever be arrogant if you're among those who still hold on to principles.
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
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 you know, I know I couldn't use it an Al Hamdulillah him in alignment and he said okay, who Tao took off half holiness for Santa taqwa and Roman Sokka Antonio Houma la salida Masai Mara Nabina Muhammad, Allah

smilla hamdulillah salat wa salam ala
quick announcement tonight to charlo on Friday we have a very special event.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
And I promise you inshallah, hopefully if we cover all our expenses, as we go on, you know, what will be weightless
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.
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.
