brothers and sisters, what makes the Muslim community a safer community? What makes the Muslim
community stable community that makes many many people hand a lot of blood I mean, when the trouble
they looking for safety, they come back to it. And then there is a time in the month of Ramadan, we
seen this in our own community, mashallah more like a massive conversion, number of people coming to
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:57
			Islam, what makes it safer to people when you ask them what they were looking for. It's one common
thing, that the Muslim community provide this kind of consistency and stability in terms of its
values. Living a life of significant values is important. We live in today in a time that values are
ever changing, never stopped changing, and we changing even to the extent will change the human
fitrah the nature, the nature of mankind, the meaning of being a man the meaning of be the woman the
meaning of being a child, we lost our minds as humanity today, in this culture, particularly why
because we have no stability, we have no set values that we considered sacred. The sacred has been
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:17
			removed from these values. And that 100 The Muslims are still among those last resorts for people,
because we have what we call them celibate, stable values, we believe in them, and we adhere to
them. And we're not going to change these values just because someone thought you know what, it's a
good idea right now to call men, women and women, women men,
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:29
			and to make you know, everything change because society is progressing. That's not progression.
That's aggression. We're going back with our societies and then hamdulillah for the blessing of
Islam.
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:49
			Sal handler Juma? We're still among the few people in this world, we're still going back again to
some stable points of references, sets of values, and we have to hold on to them. What are the
meaning of having values? What do you call these values in Islam, you call them TM in the Arabic
language, they are called TM, the plural of the word schema.
		
00:02:50 --> 00:03:29
			What does it mean to say when it comes to the word schema of TM? In the Arabic language from karma,
and Ky MA and CA M and all these words, they come to one particular route that have significant
meanings, what are these meanings for the word Hema number one is actually its value, significant
value. If something has significant value, we'll call it chi him and ALLAH SubhanA wa Takakura call
Islam word Dean and PMR and another SPM payment which means of significant value, anything of no
significant values, people don't regard it as important they leave it aside.
		
00:03:30 --> 00:04:02
			And if your values has no significant values, you will leave them aside because you looking for
something more significant more important to you. And for Muslims, they are deed has significant
values. The Quran has provided significant values by which you live your life being a human in
itself is a significant valuable adhere to it and we hold on to it. The second meaning of saying
Korean or Cava in the Arabic language, it means actually to molarity dal, which means what it means
actually upright, something called and when someone paw
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:10
			paw in Manila, somebody standing for the sake of Allah as those means upright, all was straight.
That's what it means.
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:14
			Today we challenge even the meaning of being straight in the society.
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:21
			Even that has been changed right now and altered, the being crooked become the new straight in our
time.
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:55
			We hold on to these values of being upright having the upright characters called is the karma.
That's what the word is the farmer comes from from karma from come from Kareem as well too, because
we believe that these values will give you an upright character. And the whole Deen was revealed to
the world to help people live this upright character as the Prophet salaallah Sam says in the Hadith
in Amador, St. Lucia Masada had a flood I was sent to people so on in order to help them perfect
their character, help them to reach that upright character.
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			And this is a very important the third meaning
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:17
			have the word column or piano hero. It means actually stability. When somebody is calling him or her
screaming, it's actually it's stable. It is stable, and it's permanent and it's consistent. So
that's why we call our values Diem.
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:35
			Because they're providing you with a blueprint to have an upright character, upright lifestyle, it
gives you stability, and it's give you significant value by which you live. And you live for many,
many people today when they challenge these values, the struggle,
		
00:05:36 --> 00:06:10
			the struggle, because they're going against the Sunnah of Allah subhanho wa taala. And this
creation, brothers and sisters, Allah subhanho wa Taala says will unhide us the rotten mustard demon
for tiberiu While at the table suitable for Raka command stability. He made us a challenge over here
he says, Listen, this, listen to me. This is your straight path, the upright one, the most
consistent, the one that is solid, that will give you safety, you name it, it's the straight path
we're underhand as erotic Mr. crema, is not crooked, he said but who follow it.
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:27
			Follow these values. What are the tabular civil, don't go after any of these crooked you know paths,
any other alternative ways besides Allah's wasted Hana mattala First of all raka bitumen Severen it
will take you all over the place, you will find no peace,
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:47
			you will find no peace there. And that's what we see today when we allow people to start changing
the Allah's ways Allah Sunan in this society and people right now the change in the altering their
end biological creation, or physically, no matter how much you try to mutilate yourself, you're not
going to be other than what Allah is greater to be.
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:56
			So just an illusion. And right now Subhanallah there is no need even for mental illness in
facilities anymore. Because it becomes a matter of opinion.
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:58
			It's a matter of taste.
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:36
			And we fallen for this as an entire society if you follow the path other than the path of Allah
subhanho wa Taala all of us will struggle, not just for those who follow that path all of us were
stolen and as a Muslim community, we should provide that safety to people. We should remain
consistent and call for that consistency. Otherwise we can all struggle. Allah subhanho wa Taala
says in the Quran, what occurred Corona Bani Adam, he says Subhanallah whether we have dignify the
Children of Adam, look at this. Allah says I made you special. I made a special creation. I called
you humans, Karim. Never the Adam. He says I made a dignified I made a specialist pan on what to
		
00:07:36 --> 00:08:14
			Allah called Mohammed novelry. Well, Baha, we carried you on the land and the earth on earth and the
sea. Like look, you are able to create things that will take you all over the world all over the
place. You've seen the earth everywhere. And that's part of the dignified creation of Allah azza wa
jal, and he says Kawasaki Muhammad Optiva wild for the from all these good things in this creation.
And then he says, subhanho wa Taala football now, Allah cathedra mantra Laguna de la, and he said,
subhana wa taala. And I gave you privileged you. I made you privileged, I gave you a special status
above so many of Allah's creation. He speaks about what everything else was that human beings. But
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:15
			what human beings are doing today,
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:40
			they were rejecting that privilege. They don't to be humans anymore, and they will alter even the
meaning of being a human being brothers and sisters. When it comes to having these values. It's
extremely important as Muslim Ummah as a Muslim Ummah, we want to adhere to the straight path at
least ALLAH SubhanA wa normal. It's as simple as that. June is coming very soon. I'm not gonna see
crazy things these days.
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:44
			And God knows what's going to happen to our kids will go to school these days.
		
00:08:45 --> 00:09:09
			Even as young as kindergartens are being exposed, be exposed to things that we used to be one day,
an x ray that things that you have to approve, you have to consent to it, before even be able to see
it. And now it furthers the children to that providing what is called as brand loyalty from young
tomb young age where they get used to it. So it will be a challenge for them in the future.
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:32
			And they expose on this, our children being exposed to that whether we like it or not, And
subhanAllah even if you even if you don't see it there when it's when it's being performed on site.
It's actually been now all over the internet. And even those who criticize that stuff, they
unfortunately they also display it on their own accounts to critique it and to criticize, but he was
gonna see it anyway.
		
00:09:34 --> 00:10:00
			And that's the challenge of our time because this society just completely lost it. There are no
significant values to live by these values, keep children and keep you know, changing and changing
and changing as Muslims Hamdulillah we have that stability, Allah Subhan Allah says about this ummah
Quinton pyrometallurgical, gentleness, you are the best people ever produced the mankind, the best
nation ever to be produced in mankind for what reason? He didn't say because you believe because
there
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:19
			So many believers out there, religious communities have hamdullah still safe haven to many people
who are looking for safety in this time. But you as a Muslim have a different degree of safety. What
is it more of a moderate and how not and monka we don't play games with these things, when it's
wrong is going to be wrong. And we're going to keep saying it's wrong. We're not gonna accept that
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:34
			people are trying to push right now not just a matter of tolerance towards these actions, even who
was approved by law. No, they weren't, they wanted to make it recognized. And you're going to be
criminalized, if you don't recognize it for them. And we're not gonna accept this.
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:51
			We're gonna stand for that which is right? Not just because we Muslims because we just humans, it's
a matter of common sense. And Allah says quantum Koroma to overturn us the best nation ever produced
the mankind for what reason? Morona Bill Maher overturn how national monka because you enjoin good
and forbid evil.
		
00:10:52 --> 00:11:14
			Because you tell when something is right, you say it's right or something's wrong. I told them, it's
wrong. You stand for the right thing to stand for that justice, even to yourself and to other
people, not just for ourselves as a Muslim community. And then he said, What do you mean when a
biller and you believe in Allah azza wa jal? So yeah, there are a lot of faith communities out
there, but you are unique, because you stand for justice, and you speak it out loud, and you don't
care.
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:52
			Definitely, people are looking right now, for stability for safety. Many people are, are anxious,
they're confused, and Subhanallah our way as Muslims help us stay stable. For those brothers and
sisters looking for that kind of stability. Be careful, I know that nowadays, martial among our
young generations, the whole concept of you know, social justice and equality and so on, it seems to
be very appealing, which is true, which is true to this moment is very appealing. And it's true to
have, you know, that sense of equality and so on, but at the same time, not on the account of your
values, and common sense, and what is considered right and appropriate or not, not just because
		
00:11:52 --> 00:12:15
			we're mostly because we use humans, we're altering even humanity today. So Hamdulillah we have our
source of values. If someone asked Where do we get our values from? In order for us to all agree on
that we have to go back to those solid resources, the Quran, the book of Allah subhanho wa taala,
the book of Allah azza wa jal what Allah says, right? It's right what Allah says wrong, it's wrong
no matter what the society says about it today.
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:24
			The Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam the example of the Prophet sallallahu wasallam
how he lived his life, he's our best example didn't Allah subhanaw says that.
		
00:12:26 --> 00:13:05
			He sent it to her to us for what Rahmatullah and I mean mercy to the world. And he says, cold water
has been the best model for you as Muslim you follow his example. So Alana was ALLAH and he is the
one who told us contract if you come Shane, I left you two things in your hands. As long as you hold
on to them, you will never go astray Kitab Allah was in the book of Allah and the Sunnah of the
prophets of Allah, Allah wa salam brothers and sisters. You want to feel safe in this confused
society. Go back again to the resources. Another way we find that hamdulillah our own our own
stability in this in this theme in these actually values from the agenda of the Ummah, we look at
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:45
			the opinions of the Sahaba the Latin animada on the best generation, the scholars of the past and
the best generation, whatever they agreed on. That's the law that's law for us that's Deen that you
follow? Because the OMA will never gather together and accept falsehood as part of the deed never.
So therefore, when there's confusion, we'll go back to these resources. And Allah's command is that
we do that there will be disagree on something photo do who will Allah wa Rasul. You need to refer
that back to Allah subhana wa the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and the other thing that
will be given to us in order for us to start make these stable resources, using our human reason.
		
00:13:46 --> 00:14:28
			Reason, yes, it is a source of looking at things and confirming things but Subhanallah nowadays has
been misused to the extent that became now more valuable than the way now in the words of Allah azza
wa jal when people deny Allah subhanho wa Taala and deny his right to legislate whatever He wills
subhanaw taala they create their own and if we leave it for people, what do we get? What are we
getting today? So brothers and sisters, just make sure as the time progresses today, you go back
again to these major stable pm values. And you can find them on in the book of ALLAH SubhanA wa and
Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam and your religious values. Make sure to stay stable, bring
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:48
			your family to it, your children grow with it inshallah to grow up with vanilla Azerbaijan, whatever
darkness around them will be completely dispelled and expelled by the by the light of guidance May
Allah subhana wa Taala put that in our hearts but alameen and show us that which is right and make
it easy to follow it and that which is wrong and stay away from it. Akula kolyada was so for Allah
and Allah Almighty welcome. What it said was a bit of a stir through in the middle of all right.
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:59
			Alhamdulillah Abdullah Al Amin Salallahu Salam, Mohammad Anwar Allah Allah
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:32
			psycho selling with a slim cathedra mama bad my dear brothers and sisters, some of the beautiful
things about our Muslim values is a comprehensive, they're not just about your relationship, you
know what man also the ship with Allah azza wa jal and when it comes to the relationship with man,
it's not just about your interpersonal relationship with people, no, it's about economic values,
moral values, you know, emotional value, social value, all these values that Islam covered all these
areas. Everything, you have a set of ethics that you need to follow, and it's governed by ALLAH
SubhanA wa does role because he the one who created Allah, Allah woman, Hala, whoa, a lot of people
		
00:15:32 --> 00:16:10
			have it. Doesn't he know best, since he's the one who created you? He does Hannah Montana. We also
believe that these values of hamdulillah are flexible. What does that exactly mean? They are stable,
but it's flexible. We we also consider changes happening in societies. But as long as that change
does not contradict with us with the fundamental values of the Quran, the sooner the will will take
him. Once they contradict the strong values of the Quran, sunnah, we reject them, no matter how
fancy they sound to people this this, because that's what's going to create stability for you
otherwise, that change continue forever. And we'll never find safety in that kind of lifestyle
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:49
			brothers and sisters. It's an hamdulillah our values are actually not just flexible, they also
moderate, moderate, they also take into consideration your relationship with Allah for the Ophira
and also the relationship with the people in this dunya. We care about the dunya as much as also we
care about the ACA, but we know that this dunya is just a test. So we can shout louder, the one that
the prize in the ACARA mela makers amadores winner Jarrah Bella min. Brothers and sisters, in this
time of excessive change, remember that holding on to these precious values is more important for
safety. And you shall see Wallahi we shall see if the society continues like this, these more
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:57
			troubling times are going to come on May Allah protect us a bit are famous for material but I mean,
you will see massive conversion people are going to come back to religiosity
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:02
			because nothing human is saving them anymore.
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:38
			Nothing humans are going to save them. So they don't look something that is culturally divine, and
they're gonna look for religion. They're gonna look for any religion, that provide the most safety
and security. Make sure to be there out there calling people to Allah subhanaw taala open your
hearts to them. Talk to them about about your deen. Show them to your clock and your manners, that
this is the best way of living May Allah subhanho wa Taala God the hearts of our people, our
community are Bananaman. We ask Allah Subhana Allah to guide the people of our country or bribe them
in our communities, our cities, we ask Allah to guard their heart to that which is right. And we ask
		
00:17:38 --> 00:18:13
			ALLAH SubhanA to protect this community. From the evil of this time, we ask Allah Subhana Allah to
protect us from the evil that is that is private or public garbage. I mean, we ask Allah to guard
our values, yada but I mean, we ask Allah Subhan to protect our children, our families, our schools,
our lifestyle, we ask Allah subhana wa Taala to protect our iman our deen for us are a Brahmin.
