Our du'a of the Quran today is from

00:00:14--> 00:00:15

Surat Al Mumtahana.

00:00:15--> 00:00:17

Surat Al Mumtahana chapter 60,

00:00:18--> 00:00:20

ayah number 4 and number 5.

00:00:21--> 00:00:23

Surat Al Mumtahana or Al Mumtahina,

00:00:24--> 00:00:25

it's more like

00:00:26--> 00:00:29

the statement of tests, like testing the belief

00:00:29--> 00:00:32

of people in Surat Al Mumtahina. As Allah

00:00:32--> 00:00:33

began the Surah speaking about

00:00:39--> 00:00:41

All you who believe, don't take my enemy

00:00:41--> 00:00:43

and your enemy as your allies.

00:00:44--> 00:00:45

And you show them, which means you show

00:00:45--> 00:00:48

them love, you show them courtesy, and so

00:00:48--> 00:00:50

on. He said, Don't do that to them.

00:00:50--> 00:00:52

And he spoke about how people,

00:00:53--> 00:00:57

sometimes they try to sell themselves out to

00:00:57--> 00:00:59

their enemies just to seek pleasure with them,

00:00:59--> 00:01:02

serve pleasure with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,

00:01:02--> 00:01:04

and how they eventually, they come after you

00:01:04--> 00:01:06

and they will harass you and they will

00:01:06--> 00:01:06

hurt you.

00:01:07--> 00:01:09

So, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala then, he gave

00:01:09--> 00:01:10

us an example

00:01:10--> 00:01:12

in the life of Ibrahim

00:01:18--> 00:01:19

alaihis salam.

00:01:21--> 00:01:24

You already have an excellent example in Ibrahim

00:01:24--> 00:01:25

and those with him.

00:01:32--> 00:01:35

When they said to their to the people,

00:01:35--> 00:01:37

we totally disassociate ourselves from you

00:01:38--> 00:01:41

and shun whatever idols you worship besides Allah.

00:01:42--> 00:01:43

We reject you.

00:01:44--> 00:01:45

Very clear statement, Jema'ah.

00:01:47--> 00:01:48

Unfortunately, a lot of Muslims today, they don't

00:01:48--> 00:01:49

do that anymore,

00:01:50--> 00:01:52

especially even Muslim countries.

00:01:52--> 00:01:54

So, we reject you. As a matter of

00:01:54--> 00:01:56

fact, I was before I came SubhanAllah, I

00:01:56--> 00:01:57

saw a video

00:01:58--> 00:02:01

about some non Muslims boasting about

00:02:02--> 00:02:04

specific practices and specific behavior.

00:02:05--> 00:02:07

Now, they're finally able to do on some

00:02:07--> 00:02:08

of the

00:02:08--> 00:02:10

Muslim countries

00:02:10--> 00:02:12

being so close to the Haram even.

00:02:13--> 00:02:15

Like they're boasting about that, that now they're

00:02:15--> 00:02:17

able to do this unfortunately.

00:02:18--> 00:02:19

So

00:02:33--> 00:02:35

Like, we reject you, and we disassociate

00:02:35--> 00:02:38

ourselves from you and being with you. And

00:02:38--> 00:02:40

there's that sense of which

00:02:41--> 00:02:42

means there are boundaries

00:02:42--> 00:02:43

of

00:02:43--> 00:02:46

love and hate for the sake of Allah

00:02:46--> 00:02:48

until you believe in Allah and only Allah

00:02:48--> 00:02:50

Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. Ibrahim.

00:02:51--> 00:02:53

Allah made an exception in that which is

00:02:53--> 00:02:55

basically a temporary exception here.

00:02:58--> 00:02:58

Except Allah

00:02:59--> 00:02:59

allowed

00:03:00--> 00:03:00

Ibrahim,

00:03:01--> 00:03:02

allowed Ibrahim

00:03:03--> 00:03:05

to seek forgiveness for his father.

00:03:05--> 00:03:07

Although his father was what?

00:03:08--> 00:03:10

He was not a believer, he wasn't a

00:03:10--> 00:03:11

believer. As a matter of fact, he was

00:03:11--> 00:03:14

even threatening Ibrahim, if you stop preaching what

00:03:14--> 00:03:16

you preach, I'm gonna stone you, I'm gonna

00:03:16--> 00:03:17

throw crocks at you.

00:03:18--> 00:03:18

But,

00:03:19--> 00:03:22

Ibrahim asked Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala permission

00:03:22--> 00:03:23

to seek forgiveness,

00:03:24--> 00:03:25

to seek forgiveness

00:03:27--> 00:03:31

for his father. And Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala

00:03:31--> 00:03:34

permitted him and allowed him, but then later

00:03:34--> 00:03:36

on, Allah told him that's enough.

00:03:36--> 00:03:38

You're not gonna seek forgiveness anymore.

00:03:42--> 00:03:46

I don't control Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala's will

00:03:46--> 00:03:48

if he will forgive you or otherwise.

00:03:51--> 00:03:53

Our Lord, in you we trust,

00:03:55--> 00:03:57

and to you we always turn,

00:03:58--> 00:04:00

and to you is the final return.

00:04:00--> 00:04:03

This is kind of like delegating your affairs

00:04:03--> 00:04:04

to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala

00:04:05--> 00:04:08

under these difficult circumstances, circumstances of persecution, for

00:04:08--> 00:04:10

example. No matter how much you try,

00:04:10--> 00:04:13

at the end of the day, You Allah,

00:04:13--> 00:04:15

we put our trust in you,

00:04:15--> 00:04:17

we know that our return is gonna be

00:04:17--> 00:04:18

to you. So, you Allah, take care of

00:04:18--> 00:04:19

our affairs.

00:04:19--> 00:04:21

And then they made the dua,

00:04:29--> 00:04:32

Our lord, do not subject us to the

00:04:32--> 00:04:33

persecution of the disbelievers.

00:04:34--> 00:04:37

Forgive us, our Lord. You alone are truly

00:04:37--> 00:04:39

the Almighty, all wise.

00:04:39--> 00:04:42

You see what's happening in Gaza Jema. Right?

00:04:43--> 00:04:44

Do you see how these people behave?

00:04:47--> 00:04:47

Unbelievable.

00:04:50--> 00:04:52

They're like the hostility,

00:04:52--> 00:04:53

the enmity,

00:04:53--> 00:04:54

the hatred.

00:05:03--> 00:05:05

Like, the hatred and this animosity

00:05:05--> 00:05:08

is so evident in their words and their

00:05:08--> 00:05:08

speech,

00:05:09--> 00:05:10

they're not even hiding it.

00:05:11--> 00:05:13

On an official level or on a personal

00:05:13--> 00:05:13

level,

00:05:14--> 00:05:16

from adults to children in Allah in Islam.

00:05:16--> 00:05:18

Men and women, their hatred,

00:05:18--> 00:05:21

it's the vile language that comes from their

00:05:21--> 00:05:22

mouth against

00:05:22--> 00:05:25

the believers, against the innocent people, SubhanAllah, is

00:05:25--> 00:05:25

unbelievable.

00:05:29--> 00:05:32

What their hearts are hiding is even worse.

00:05:33--> 00:05:35

Like, if their words are so vile and

00:05:35--> 00:05:37

so horrible, can you imagine

00:05:37--> 00:05:40

what intentions they have against the believers?

00:05:41--> 00:05:43

Now, this is not just Muhammad and the

00:05:43--> 00:05:45

situation like Gaza, make it easier for them,

00:05:45--> 00:05:48

it's almost everywhere. Look what's happened to our

00:05:48--> 00:05:48

brothers

00:05:49--> 00:05:49

in China,

00:05:50--> 00:05:53

what's happened to the believers in India nowadays,

00:05:53--> 00:05:57

in everywhere, subhanAllah, Allahumma'as ta'ala. The threat is

00:05:57--> 00:05:57

real, Jema.

00:05:58--> 00:06:01

The threat is real. So, seeking protection with

00:06:01--> 00:06:01

Allah

00:06:03--> 00:06:04

from this injustice,

00:06:04--> 00:06:05

from the oppressors,

00:06:06--> 00:06:09

is definitely needed. That's what Ibrahim alaihi salam

00:06:10--> 00:06:10

You

00:06:13--> 00:06:13

Allah,

00:06:14--> 00:06:17

do not subject us to the persecution of

00:06:17--> 00:06:17

the disbelievers.

00:06:19--> 00:06:21

You Allah, forgive us our Lord.

00:06:23--> 00:06:26

Alon, you are truly the Almighty, All Wise.

00:06:26--> 00:06:28

You're Almighty because you can

00:06:28--> 00:06:29

stop this

00:06:30--> 00:06:33

and you're all wise because you're allowing it.

00:06:34--> 00:06:35

We know there's wisdom for you to allow

00:06:35--> 00:06:36

this,

00:06:36--> 00:06:38

but we know that with your might and

00:06:38--> 00:06:40

your power, you can stop that,

00:06:40--> 00:06:42

but you're allowing it out of wisdom and

00:06:42--> 00:06:45

basically we ask Allah to help us understand

00:06:45--> 00:06:47

the hikmah and the wisdom behind that. It's

00:06:47--> 00:06:50

hard and difficult in these circumstances really to

00:06:50--> 00:06:52

try to make sense of what's happening,

00:06:52--> 00:06:55

but we try our best to understand the

00:06:55--> 00:06:56

wisdom of Allah

00:06:57--> 00:07:00

and rely on his power, the Almighty, to

00:07:00--> 00:07:01

stop this injustice from ever happening.

00:07:02--> 00:07:04

So, that was to Ibrahim alaihi salam and

00:07:04--> 00:07:06

his time. To us today or for us

00:07:06--> 00:07:06

today,

00:07:08--> 00:07:08

afterwards,

00:07:12--> 00:07:14

There you shall find a good example for

00:07:14--> 00:07:15

you in them,

00:07:16--> 00:07:18

like we made them example for you, meaning

00:07:18--> 00:07:19

you need to follow them.

00:07:21--> 00:07:23

For the one who you're Jullah, which means

00:07:23--> 00:07:25

fear Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,

00:07:25--> 00:07:27

you have hope in Allah and

00:07:28--> 00:07:30

have hope for that on the final day

00:07:30--> 00:07:32

to be among the successful ones.

00:07:36--> 00:07:37

And whoever turns over

00:07:38--> 00:07:39

whoever stands to Allah

00:07:41--> 00:07:44

alone is Allah will be self sufficient,

00:07:44--> 00:07:45

praiseworthy.

00:07:45--> 00:07:47

Like, if you turn to Allah, Allah will

00:07:47--> 00:07:48

be enough for you, but you're gonna have

00:07:48--> 00:07:50

to do it and do it sincerely

00:07:50--> 00:07:52

and genuinely from the heart. So that was

00:07:52--> 00:07:54

the dua of Ibrahim alayhi salam and the

00:07:54--> 00:07:56

believers of the term Ibrahim alayhi salam. May

00:07:56--> 00:07:56

Allah

00:07:57--> 00:07:58

protect us from the evil and the violence

00:07:58--> 00:08:00

of the oppressor Jair Abu Alamin. So, we're

00:08:00--> 00:08:01

gonna make the dua inshaAllah

00:09:51--> 00:09:51

min al Muslimin.

00:10:42--> 00:10:42
