Yasir Qadhi – The Evils of Division

			Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.
		

			How do I
		

			should have
		

			my doors
		

			Hi
		

			how are you
		

			Hi.
		

			Alhamdulillah we praise Allah subhanho wa Taala the majestic and the most high in him we put our
trust and in Him do we rely. He revealed to us his speech whose recitation with our voices we
beautify and he gave to us a shoddy that we strive to live by. We ask Allah to forgive our sins on
the last day and our good deeds amplify may Sadat and Salah and be upon the one the prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam to whose prophethood we all testify. Dear Muslims Allah subhanho wa
Taala reminds us to be conscious of him when he says in the Quran. Yeah, you hola Dina. I'm an
otaku. Aloha cultural Tati wala to Mottola Illa, one to Muslim moon. In a hadith reported in the
		

			Sahih Muslim, our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, in a shaitan yes and yeah, Abu Musa Luna
features either 10 out of one can fit to Hedy she Bina whom shaytaan has given up hope of being
worshipped by those who prey in the Arabian Peninsula. shaytaan has given up hope of being
worshipped by those who prey in the Arabian Peninsula. what is meant here by the Arabian Peninsula
is the Muslims because the Muslims of Arabia used to be pagans. So when he is saying the Arabian
Peninsula, it means the Muslims Shavon has given up hope of ever being worshipped again. Idolatry
will not come back to the OMA
		

			Once a person has believed in Allah once the person prays, so then what is the goal of shaytaan? If
the Muslim ummah is not going to revert to idolatry, what's going to happen? What can fit to
Hareesh? You may know him, but instead shaytaan is aiming to incite divisions between them. The goal
of shaytaan is no longer idolatry he has given up that hope, as a majority Ummah, the mainstream
Muslims shall never revert to idolatry. This is a prediction as Mr. Minogue and others have said, it
is a prediction that has borne true throughout all Islamic lands, never has any religion spread so
fast, so quickly. So permanently, like Islam has never have masses of people embraced a new faith,
		

			and then remained firm on that faith from Kazakhstan all the way to Andalus from the lands of Indian
Afghanistan, all the way down south to Africa throughout these regions, wherever Islam spread, it's
remained up until this day, accepted politics kicked it out like unnoticed otherwise, wherever Islam
spread, it remained and our Prophet says and predicted this shaitan is not going to now target you
with idolatry with paganism that is gone. That's not going to happen as the mainstream. So then what
is Plan B of shaytaan? If he cannot get you to worship idols, he has decided that the next biggest
thing that he can succeed in is to disunite is to cause divisions is to incite of hatred. Well, I
		

			can fit daddy Shiva you know him. And this shows us dear Muslims, the evils of division, because one
shaytaan cannot get you to worship an idol. What is the next thing he falls down to? Subhanallah
look at what is number two on the list. Worse than many of the major sins is one the Ummah is
divided, because a major sin between me and Allah when the Ummah is divided, all of us suffer when
the OMA is disunited that we collectively become weak. And so the second tactic of shaitan what can
fit daddy she been at home. So this shows us so many things. First and foremost, it shows us that
shaytaan is an active enemy. He's not a passive enemy. Shaitan is assessing shaytaan is like a
		

			military general who is looking at the troops looking at the enemy's tactics, looking at what is
happening and re evaluating the next strategy. shaytaan tried to get the early Muslims to go back to
idolatry in the reign of Abu Bakr Siddiq, there was the movement of read the and it seemed as if it
might be successful, but the Sahaba grouped up together and Allah preserved eemaan through the
wisdom of obika Sadiq and the Sahaba and idolatry was permanently wiped out as predicted by the
Prophet salAllahu alayhi wasallam. So what did that evil that cunning military general donorship on
do? What did that conniving entity do? He decided that if I cannot have them worship idols, I will
		

			make sure every group is bickering with another. Every person has problems with another, every
society, every community is going to be at odds with another and I am satisfied if I can get to that
level. So our Prophet being the loving Prophet that he is sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he is warning
us or Muslims, be careful that shaytaan does not succeed in this plot. Here are some of the ways
that shaytaan will do this, first and foremost, and the worst of them, and the most disgusting of
them. And the most vile of them, is by causing division based upon imaginary differences, not even
real differences of skin color differences of caste, differences of tribalism, differences of ethnic
		

			origin, differences of nation state, all of these differences are man made and superficial. All of
these differences mean nothing in the eyes of Allah subhanho wa taala. Who cares where you were
born, who cares where your parents were from? Who cares what nationality you have in a Croma commend
Allah He taught them but shaitan comes along, and shaytaan causes us to raise our children that we
are so and so be careful of that group. Be careful of that ethnicity. Be careful of that person. We
are this group, they are that group. We are this nation, they are that nation, we are this tribe.
They are that tribe, and shaytaan causes us to feel an element of superiority. There's nothing wrong
		

			with liking your culture. The problem comes when you think your culture your land, your language is
inherently better than others. That is the problem. There's nothing wrong with being happy about you
speak multiple languages, about your cuisine about your different ethnicities, no problem, but the
minute you think
		

			think that your race your nation state is inherently better and you start categorizing all of those
people of that land all Pakistanis like this all Bengalis like this all Egyptians like that, or all
skin colors like this, know that shaytaan has succeeded in this issue called tarnish that which
means inciting one group or next against another stereotypes caricatures. This is the tactic of
shape on Be careful, do your Muslims. Remember the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said to Abu
Bakr Al Rifai, when he said something that he should not have said to be learned. He said to him
that oh Buddha, you still have some Jaya Helia in your heart, you still have some jaw Helia you
		

			should not have said this about a person of a different race and boy that immediately apologized and
asked for forgiveness. Remember what our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, about tribalism
leave it for it is rotting it is infested Leave it leave this tribalism my tribe better than your
tribe, it is of the tactics of shaytaan. The second way that shaitan comes in is that if he cannot
succeed at the tribal level, if he cannot succeed at the community level, he will go down to the
individual level and he will cause brother to not speak to brother cousin to break off from cousin
friends to have suspicions amongst themselves. If he cannot succeed at the community level. He will
		

			take it down to the individual level. Anytime dear Muslim, anytime you had a friendship or the bonds
of kinship with another person and you no longer have that bond realize shaytaan has succeeded
realize shaytaan has won one more in his battle to cause division amongst us realize, dear Muslims
of the most vicious tactics of shaytaan is rumor mongering, slandering, spreading evil about another
as libre, now Mima, somebody's going to come and say so and so said this about you. And all of a
sudden that friendship you had is broken. And that's why the one who does Riba and the one who
spreads it, there are both doing things that should not be done because it breaks the bonds of
		

			society. When the Prophet Yusuf alayhi salam had issues with his brother and his brothers did
whatever they did at the end of the story, when He reconciled with them, what did he say? Remember
the Anessa che upon obeying you were being haughty che upon was the one who caused those evils
between me and my brother he blamed shape on even though his brothers did certain things. But
shaytaan was the one who whispered shaitan was the one who caused it all to happen because the
brothers felt to their jealousy. And so realize shaytaan wants you to not be friends with that
Muslim Brother You were friends with he wants you to have problems with your family. He wants you to
		

			break off the ties, and therefore you have to be the better of the two. The last point we'll mention
here, and perhaps the most evil of all daddies of all incitement. Perhaps the worst of all, is that
which takes place between the spouses between the husband and wife in the authentic hadith in Sahih.
Muslim shaitan sits on his throne every day, and he assesses his minions. I told you he's a general
I told you he has his troops. I told you he sends them out. The hadith tells us this every day or
every night shaytaan welcomes the military generals back to his to his palace to his entourage and
he asked them What did you do? And everyone says I did this I did this and he trivializes. Then the
		

			Schwann shaitan comes and he said and he says to Iblees the big bliss he says to him, I continued
giving what's wasa to a person until he broke off with his wife. Notice the phrasing Mizzou I
continued, I continued pestering, continued making something small, bigger, continue telling the
husband or the wife this and this was was up until finally he ended up divorce. According to the
Hadith, shaytaan stands up and embraces this devil and he says you have accomplished something
today. This is the essence of the adage of breaking up the bonds for something that might be
trivial, of causing a marriage to come to an end for a reason that was not legitimate and who was
		

			behind it all. All of this is coming from the tactics of shaytaan. So these are three mechanisms or
three areas we need to be careful that brothers and sisters number one at the community level at the
level of a tribe or a nation number two at the individual level our relatives or friends, our
families. And number three at the spousal level, realize Satan is attacking all of these bonds he
has given up that we're going to worship idols, but he has not given up breaking the ties of kinship
and the ties of brotherhood and the ties of husband and wife. So we have to be extra vigilant and
make sure we do not fall prey to the tactics of shaytaan May Allah subhanho wa Taala blessed me and
		

			you with and through the Quran and may make us of those who is versus they understand and
implementers halal and haram throughout our lifespan. I ask Allah's forgiveness you as well ask him
for his liver for and the ramen.
		

			hamdulillah Anwar hadn't had a summit Ulladulla mula mula Mala Mia Kula who found ahead, what do
what are some of the ways we can counter the tactics of shaytaan. Three things, number one, number
one, what we say and what we hear. The main source of tension between any two people is the tongue,
and then the ear for what it hears from the tongue. So we have to be very vigilant about what we
say, and ignore as much as we can what we hear somebody else comes and tells us so and so said, to
shut your ear ignore it, ignore it, don't make attention to it. You as well be careful what you say
about other people. In fact, Allah subhanho wa Taala explicitly links breaking of the bonds with
		

			what the tongue says in the Quran will call Larry buddy Your call will call everybody your Coletti
here I sent in a che Aparna Yen's that will be in the home, tell my servants they should speak
always good speech because Shavon causes enmity between them via this speech. Tell my servants their
speech should be noble. Their speech should not be riba slandering, bickering, backbiting, putting
people down making fun of others keep your speech noble because when you go down Shavon takes your
slip and causes that slip to become much bigger than it needs to be. But you're the one who slipped
up all everybody kulula To hear us and in the Shavon Ian's that will be known say the essence
		

			speech. Otherwise shaytaan will come and cause problems between people. So you need to monitor your
tongue and you need to ignore much of what you hear about others through your ears. Number two, the
second thing that we need to do is to make dua to Allah subhana wa Taala to have what is in Arabic
called ULb Saleem, a pure heart. We don't want a heart that is full of jealousy, a heart that is
full of anger, a heart that is always trying to find faults of other people's know, Allah says in
the Quran, that the people who will enter Jannah or those who come to Allah, Allah will be in Saleem
they come to Allah with a pure heart. And Ibrahim alayhis salam is praised in the Quran is Jarrah
		

			who has been Selim, he came to Allah with a pure heart, so we need to make dua to Allah make dua O
Allah give me upset him. Don't give me a heart that has jealousy and enmity, animosity. Don't give
me a heart that wants to put other people down. I want to have a pure heart to Allah. So you don't
get involved in the killer call in the He Said, She Said in the proliferation of Libra and remember,
your heart is pure. And the last point Dear brothers and sisters, and of course much more can be
said but time is always limited. The last point if our ability here I said for either lady Boehner
Kobe, no, no, well, you and him, when something bad comes to you some news that is negative,
		

			somebody mistreats you, you be the better of the two for the sake of Allah. In any situation, you
strive to be the better of the two. Allah says in the Quran, Repel evil with good, Repel evil with
good, and you will find that the one that was an enemy to you will become your closest ally. And
friend, if you stand up for the sake of Allah and you forgive for the sake of Allah and you return
that negative comment with the positive somebody says something bad and you give him a gift,
somebody puts you down in one gathering, you go to another gathering and you praise him behind his
back, you do it not for his ego, you do it not to make something for him but for the sake of Allah
		

			subhanho wa Taala so that you have the higher reward so that you attain the pleasure of Allah, guess
what, if you do this, you will attain the pleasure of Allah and you will gain the friendship of the
one that was your enemy. So these are the three simple tactics point number one is to monitor what
we say and hear point number two have a clean heart and point number three, Repel evil with good and
that will insha Allah Who to Allah make us the better of the two may Allah subhana wa Allah make us
of those who have the relevant surname and have the pure tongue and have nothing but good thoughts
for other people. I'm making DuraCeramic dry with me. Oh Allah, we ask that you do not allow for any
		

			sin of ours to remain except that you have erased them. Oh Allah we ask that every worry of ours is
converted and dispersed from Oh ALLAH convert every sick of ours to someone who is cured Oh Allah,
Oh Allah every deceased amongst us forgive them. Oh Allah. Oh Allah our loved ones Oh Allah protect
them. Oh Allah our debts repay them. Oh Allah our difficulties ease them with your mercy r Rahmani r
Rahim. O Allah bring glory to Islam and its people and the OMA make it blessed and peaceful and
protected from those who desire for it evil and protect our lands from any civil wars and upheaval
with your power Jaco will ya as these servants of Allah, Allah Subhana Allah to Allah has commanded
