00:00:19 --> 00:00:20
			Yeah,
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:25
			yeah, you're
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:36
			in the
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:42
			US.
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:27
			My sisters, my sisters, exceptional achievements are always done during very unique and exceptional
circumstances. Exceptional achievement are recognized when the circumstances are also exceptional,
because when you do something in regular circumstances
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:38
			moved to Medina. It took him only eight years. Eight years after he moved out from Mecca.
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:42
			It took him eight years to return back to
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:50
			America, he came back with 10,000 people marching.
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:55
			That was one of the most magnificent sights
		
00:01:56 --> 00:02:06
			they haven't seen before in their lifetime. One of these extraordinary achievements in eight years,
one man leaving the city of Mecca
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:10
			threatened to be killed, they put
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:12
			his companion
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:24
			so he was fleeing escaping his own people, his own hometown, his own land or country, whatever you
want to call it.
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:38
			lot while he was setting them escaping death, that they want to go and catch up with him and kill
him. Allah subhanho wa Taala would not allow that to happen. But he planned to have that escape to
stay and stay safe.
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:44
			But also lock him back to Malcolm marching with 10,000 people.
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:46
			The
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:53
			Buddha was describing the storage was and the size of the gathering. He said
		
00:02:55 --> 00:03:03
			he came on the island at night, and the surrounding suburbs of Mecca with 10,000 volumes. So during
the
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:07
			demand for the army
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:09
			to go and spread out,
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13
			spread out around the mountains of America
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:22
			before they removed all the mountains in the surrounding areas or areas that was entirely completely
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:25
			surrounded with monsters from all over the place.
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:34
			So the mountains and the mountains were completely filled with small battalions and groups and also
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:38
			for all the groups to like fire
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:42
			to like fire. What was that
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:44
			there was a site
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:46
			I've never seen before.
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:57
			And every spot of the mountain, they were told they were given a message. You can handle this. You
cannot overcome overpower that
		
00:03:59 --> 00:03:59
			you can do
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:03
			and also can advise you to
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:07
			come over
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:14
			Mohammed,
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:16
			Mohammed
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:23
			Mohammed Takuma, they all came again in a site that never been heard of before
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:30
			in eight years, and then this next day, the moon he wants of course before that.
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:39
			We are not here to fight. We're going to only fight against those who fight us.
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:43
			We basically coming over here to take over the city.
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:58
			The days of the days of the days of worshipping idols and so on. The days of oppression are gone.
Now it's time to bring people back to worship Allah subhanho wa Taala so we are not going to lie to
you
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:08
			Those who say their houses will be saved, those will go around
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:15
			the house, they will be saved. And again, a special treatment, and those who will enter the house
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:20
			will also be saved. It's a great honor for me in a moment like that,
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:50
			to deal with PR situation, public relations. So when the next day in the morning, they announced
that I was sick, I was so proud of that entire population of Mecca, his name was announced that if
you enter the house of homosexuality, it's a safe haven payment. We will respect that. And we'll
accept that there was a john was standing next on our bus, as the 10,000 warriors would come in into
the city of
		
00:05:52 --> 00:06:02
			Boston and made sure that the first the battalions were divided in groups of hundreds. Now imagine
10,000 people, they come into groups of hundreds, how many pieces
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:11
			they spent their entire day, coming from the morning, all the way until the afternoon, marching into
the city. And
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:14
			all these people, they couldn't even tell who they are.
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:31
			He said, column and all these people, he says this is the essence of those people. This is the type
of selling so these people this is the type of song so talking to him get into him, the people based
on their cultural backgrounds.
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:32
			And
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:42
			that is difficult to achieve. It is indeed an exceptional achievement, in very exceptional
circumstances.
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:45
			Based on the culture of
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:55
			the kinship, the blood relations, they only recognize you based on blood relations. That's why they
said
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:02
			they said you defend your brother,
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:05
			you defend your brothers,
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:11
			whether it was an oppressor or oppressed unit.
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:13
			So
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:18
			he said to them,
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:24
			You need to defend your brother, whether is the oppressed, or the oppressor,
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:27
			known the principles of Islam. And
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:30
			they were surprised.
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:37
			We don't have to do that.
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:42
			However, you can support some of these.
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:50
			You start to promote depression and aggression, that's very supportive.
		
00:07:52 --> 00:08:06
			If you know he's wrong, you're wrong in a way that's bringing the best out of that circumstance
situation. So you don't support them in the regression of oppression when you stop them, from
transgressing animals to form their aggression.
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:10
			Now as they
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:18
			come in, and finally, the last battalion comes in, and I was watching all of this.
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:29
			It was watching all of this, finally the Messenger of Allah, Allah, Allah. He comes in, he didn't
come the first on the first time he came in the last one.
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:36
			before it came down, saw the people of Medina suggested one is people to go out on
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:39
			the those are the people getting married.
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:54
			And they were always divided. How can they merge together also husband all of a sudden, after all
these years of fighting and killing one another, because of kinship issues, another wanting to get
and then the last battalion was was sort of locked
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:00
			in and these are the people
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:05
			who were driven out from their own hometown, from my dad coming back last
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:09
			March again, that's what
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:28
			he said to me. in the lobby. He says, you know, the leadership basically and the tension and the
possession of all people, this leadership of your nephew is becoming so great.
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:31
			Meaning the sovereignty
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:38
			as it is compared to a monarch system, the sovereignty of your nephew is becoming so great. And
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:45
			so this is profit,
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:46
			which means
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:59
			he was telling him no human being can bring all these all these different backgrounds and cultures
and all these tribes, no human being normal human being can do
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:03
			It only came together, because
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:10
			no one else can be heard those words, we realize there's no skin.
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:16
			Well, the point
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:24
			is that when the prophets of Medina, Medina, once again, another diverse community,
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:30
			among the others, and they have the Jewish people, different also tribes.
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:49
			And they have people from all around the world. So it was a very diverse community, to get them all
together against all odds against the culture of that society. That was something extremely,
extremely unique in the society that
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:57
			was able to unify that the whole population,
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:12
			eight years, eight years after he left, he was almost almost killed on the first one, but that was a
year or two years later, they only have 317, people fighting another
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:13
			1000,
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:23
			you have a condom after that, almost close to 3000. Now all of a sudden, he comes back two years
later with 10,000 just 10,000 marks with him
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:28
			is that two more years later?
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:41
			How many people want them to have 100 100,000 a congregation never heard of before
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:44
			100,000
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:59
			people, they only came together not because of their kinship, not because of their background. And
because of their blood relations. They only came together because of La ilaha illAllah Muhammadan
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:01
			This is how I
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:04
			send them to me.
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:07
			Now I want you to have
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:10
			two people sitting next to each other.
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:15
			This is unbelievable. You don't see each other
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:22
			next to each other.
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:39
			You don't share the same family perhaps you don't share the same cultural background, you don't
share perhaps maybe the mother tongue, the language, you came from different places, from unique
cultures, different colors, and so on.
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:46
			On the floor, next to each other.
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:48
			And
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:51
			you're sitting next to each other.
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:55
			The only reason you come here
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:11
			this message does not have any title that this is the message of some so for some communities, you
might have seen them before this method or the method or the
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:14
			method
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:29
			is very messy for all the Muslims and all the members of the Union. And we look around you the only
reason they got together for the exact same purpose.
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:41
			Muhammad Rasul Allah, our situation as Muslim community living in America, as unique, as unique as
the Muslim, the Prophet sallallahu Sallam
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:49
			Medina, he moved in order to establish a community as society.
		
00:13:51 --> 00:14:00
			And he was able to do that in very exceptional time. Again, exceptional achievements do happen
during exceptional circumstance.
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:04
			And Muslim home, we're all together
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:16
			with exceptional circumstances. As a small community here in Valley Ranch, we also gone through very
exceptional circumstances. And we are looking
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:19
			forward to
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:30
			I'm saying this because I would like to bring attention to all the brothers and sisters who live in
this community and come to this message in a regular basis.
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:32
			industry
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:51
			is going to expand will expand in terms of number of martial law, but we would love to establish a
larger Muslim community and a larger Islamic center that was serve met the needs of many people.
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:54
			Visiting numbers
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:56
			we
		
00:14:58 --> 00:14:59
			were very proud about
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:03
			For three years,
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:06
			I've seen so many good things.
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:12
			And I don't know
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:22
			how much they see from the Brotherhood, and the beautiful gatherings we had, even when we this point
when we disagreed, and we were still
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:27
			I'm very proud of this community, and
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:37
			the community is expanding and strong. And because of that, we would like to take it to the next
level. This is not
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:42
			this is not political culture, other than the Muslim American culture that we live in.
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:47
			We would love to establish this society, this community,
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:51
			for the future of our own children along
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:52
			with
		
00:15:53 --> 00:16:05
			all the rest of the system, the older than the young ones, even the children who would like to enjoy
coming to this place, and going down and coming to the future
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:07
			of the Islamic Center.
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:12
			But definitely, it's not just about building a structure,
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:14
			balls.
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:21
			And that's what we'd like to achieve together.
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:24
			Not just for the
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:27
			Muslim community,
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:40
			I'm actually making this beautiful, everybody will come to this place, whether they come once or
twice or 10 times throughout the entire year, to support and help building this community. And
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:50
			this is an opportunity, I want you to take this as an opportunity, you first have to establish your
own walk and establish your charity. And
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:56
			this would be something to be proud of yourself in the studio. And
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:04
			you know, I'm sure that you all of us participate in different, different communities.
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:24
			10 years ago, I was still living in Texas, in Austin, Texas. And I remember, one time I had I
received in the mail, one of these brochures about building a Masjid somewhere in the Dallas area,
it was called actually, Islamic center.
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:29
			So I just said,
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:33
			I never thought
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:34
			that one day
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:39
			never came to my mind.
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:46
			I give just like anybody else like any one of you, you give to charity for the sake of Allah.
		
00:17:48 --> 00:18:01
			Hoping that the benefit will go to all the Muslim woman, not just me and you, but maybe one day come
home to this area, after eight years or 10 years, I moved to this area. And then somehow we want to
say, Please, could you give us the football,
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:05
			I was very fond of a lot at the same time competing. And
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:09
			so whenever I never thought that I would be part of that.
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:13
			I am part of this community. And we are part of
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:29
			each and every one of you. Even if you think that you're not going to benefit from this, today or
tomorrow, you'll never know maybe your children or grandchildren will decide to move into this area.
And
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:35
			so therefore, I would like each and every one of you to dedicate
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:42
			few minutes to help out and structure that message
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:53
			as soon as we can. And we would like to achieve this. As a matter of fact, we are actually in urgent
need for the fund in less than 21 days, three weeks, so we need to achieve it
		
00:18:55 --> 00:19:03
			as soon as possible. And definitely Your support is not just for me or for this community is first
and foremost.
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:05
			data and the second
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:08
			you want to always benefit from that
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:12
			shallow data.
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:16
			And if you can't get enough prepared on Sunday,
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:20
			we will have a family.
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:23
			I will call the family as
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:29
			a family in which I'll explain more how I
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:39
			was able to structure that community in a very unique way. And Amazing, amazing, amazing plan.
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:44
			And it's all embedded in the same statement
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:49
			to make this effort possible for all of us
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:53
			to make it sincere
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:24
			Allah, Allah subhanho wa Taala says
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:30
			the believers
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:37
			This is an inescapable fact that we are brothers and sisters and
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:51
			brothers
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:56
			are more beloved to us than our own
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:03
			families
		
00:21:04 --> 00:21:10
			whenever we can to support your family, even if you are the most martial law, person and
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:15
			most of the talk will be on family issues. And
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:26
			that's why our massage it will be like our second home first home or
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:32
			whatever you want to take a break, you come to your first home to the masjid and
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:35
			meet with the sisters
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:38
			and culture society
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:44
			around that principal La ilaha illAllah Muhammad Rasul Allah, one of the things I would like to
bring to your attention
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:47
			is still alive
		
00:21:49 --> 00:21:50
			in the Mecca, when
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:56
			he came into the city, he came into the city.
		
00:21:58 --> 00:22:00
			And he lived them for 53 years.
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:06
			Four years before he became a prophet 13 years after the
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:15
			memory
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:21
			ages, when people are completed,
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:24
			what do you move to?
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:27
			When you move into Medina,
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:34
			the Sahaba, those who believed in them could not even tell who he was, which one of them
		
00:22:37 --> 00:22:38
			wasn't
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:43
			who share them from the sun. When he put the shade.
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:50
			He was living with perfect strangers
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:52
			for eight years
		
00:22:54 --> 00:22:57
			on your hometown, this is the
		
00:22:58 --> 00:23:29
			homeland. Many of us the Muslims come to the society and we still have this dilemma. They cannot
identify themselves, they cannot identify themselves with where they live as their own community. I
remember one of these conferences I asked the people to talk and communicate with each other next to
each other. I said, introduce yourself to the person next to him. And then I asked him I said those
who those who identify themselves with the city where they live, raise your hand
		
00:23:30 --> 00:23:36
			maybe 5% most of the people they introduce themselves for more than family
		
00:23:41 --> 00:23:42
			no one that will have identity crisis
		
00:23:45 --> 00:23:48
			and will also realize that a lot of them went back to Makkah
		
00:23:49 --> 00:23:51
			some rumors are spreading
		
00:23:52 --> 00:23:53
			or Hamas is gonna quit
		
00:23:55 --> 00:23:56
			took a sabbatical.
		
00:23:59 --> 00:23:59
			And I've heard
		
00:24:02 --> 00:24:06
			that he says only should be brought together
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:10
			in one place in one house. No one else.
		
00:24:13 --> 00:24:19
			So when the gathering was when they got it together, then that was notified. So we can put
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:26
			online when I read that story
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:33
			was I was imagining what a tsunami was coming in. It was very tense.
		
00:24:34 --> 00:24:39
			It was now what's going on? Why is he looking around that nobody else is gonna announce it
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:46
			or what's going on. So it was very tense.
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:50
			What is
		
00:24:58 --> 00:24:59
			going on
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:02
			So what was the issue to them themselves?
		
00:25:05 --> 00:25:08
			So you could have said you could have said that we support the
		
00:25:14 --> 00:25:16
			amendment is upon us
		
00:25:18 --> 00:25:19
			we can't have any criminal laws
		
00:25:22 --> 00:25:23
			the paper is upon us
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:24
			to bring us together
		
00:25:26 --> 00:25:29
			so you had a conversation with them and then they said some of
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:39
			them says all the people are likely talk to me, like the government like the coast and you want to
shop for me, you are
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:43
			close to mastery the closest to me.
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:45
			Even though it's only
		
00:25:46 --> 00:25:47
			eight years.
		
00:25:49 --> 00:25:52
			Since you are the dearest to me. Yes, these are my people.
		
00:25:55 --> 00:25:56
			All these people around
		
00:25:57 --> 00:26:03
			the world that made the crime of the laquan Carlos have a lot when he was loaded,
		
00:26:04 --> 00:26:05
			loaded.
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:08
			If it wasn't for the
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:13
			meaning by default, I came from
		
00:26:17 --> 00:26:19
			by default and making that trip.
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:24
			But if I hadn't done that trip, I would wish I was
		
00:26:28 --> 00:26:29
			showing the virtual.
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:33
			Many of the people are
		
00:26:36 --> 00:26:38
			coming from different areas of the Metroplex.
		
00:26:40 --> 00:26:45
			So if you believe in the skills we would like to support the show, today
		
00:26:55 --> 00:26:56
			are we asked
		
00:26:57 --> 00:26:58
			to congregate
