Allah might allow the unjust person some leeway,

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

some time, but Allah will always eventually take

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

him.

00:00:07 --> 00:00:10

And when Allah takes him, Allah grabs him

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

by the fist and does not let go.

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

Ibn Al-Qayyim mentions that one of the

00:00:20 --> 00:00:23

most powerful and noble verses in the Qur

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

'an is Surah Ali'Imran verse 18, in

00:00:26 --> 00:00:30

which Allah SWT praises Himself and the angels

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

for testifying to the kalima.

00:00:33 --> 00:00:37

The verse reads, شَهِدَ اللَّهُ أَنَّهُ لَا إِلَٰهَ

00:00:37 --> 00:00:43

إِلَّا هُوَ وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ وَأُلُوا الْعِلْمِ قَائِمًا بِالْقِسْطِ لَا

00:00:43 --> 00:00:47

إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ Allah testifies, لَا

00:00:47 --> 00:00:51

إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ and the angels testify, and

00:00:51 --> 00:00:54

the people of knowledge testify, and then Allah

00:00:54 --> 00:00:57

SWT describes all of them.

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

The description, the adjective is, they are standing

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

for justice.

00:01:03 --> 00:01:09

قَائِمًا بِالْقِسْطِ Allah SWT equates standing with justice

00:01:09 --> 00:01:11

with the kalima.

00:01:11 --> 00:01:16

Allah SWT praises the concept of fulfilling justice,

00:01:16 --> 00:01:20

of being fair, of being equitable, of making

00:01:20 --> 00:01:22

sure there's no injustice.

00:01:22 --> 00:01:26

Allah SWT equates it with the kalima itself.

00:01:27 --> 00:01:29

And in fact, O Muslims, we all know

00:01:29 --> 00:01:32

justice is important, but I feel that many

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

of us, we haven't reflected on the status

00:01:35 --> 00:01:38

the Qur'an gives to justice, on the

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

status that Allah SWT has given to the

00:01:41 --> 00:01:45

concept of being fair, of being just, of

00:01:45 --> 00:01:47

being equal amongst people regardless of their background

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

and circumstances.

00:01:48 --> 00:01:52

Allah mentions that He created the creation in

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

order to establish justice.

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

Look at the beginning of Surah Ar-Rahman.

00:01:56 --> 00:01:58

What does Allah SWT say?

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

He talks about creating the creation, teaching Adam

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

how to speak.

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

He talks about the heavens and the earth.

00:02:04 --> 00:02:08

And then, وَوَضَعَ الْمِيزَانَ أَلَّا تَطْغَوْ فِي الْمِيزَانِ

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

Allah says, and I also made the scales

00:02:10 --> 00:02:13

of justice so that nobody acts in an

00:02:13 --> 00:02:14

unjust manner.

00:02:15 --> 00:02:18

Allah Azawajal mentions that He has sent the

00:02:18 --> 00:02:21

prophets with one of the primary causes to

00:02:21 --> 00:02:23

establish justice on earth.

00:02:23 --> 00:02:26

I repeat, Allah sent the prophets, of course

00:02:26 --> 00:02:28

for tawheed, but for what else?

00:02:29 --> 00:02:30

To establish justice.

00:02:30 --> 00:02:32

Go read the Qur'an, Surah Al-Hadeed.

00:02:32 --> 00:02:38

Allah SWT says, لَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلَنَا بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ وَأَنزَلْنَا

00:02:38 --> 00:02:43

مَعَهُمُ الْكِتَابَ وَالْمِيزَانَ لِيَقُومَ النَّاسُ بِالْقِسْتِ We have

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

sent the prophets, we gave them miracles, we

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

gave them the books, and we also taught

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

them the mizan, justice.

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

Why?

00:02:52 --> 00:02:55

لِيَقُومَ النَّاسُ بِالْقِسْتِ So that all of mankind,

00:02:56 --> 00:02:58

they act in a manner that is just.

00:02:58 --> 00:03:02

And Allah SWT summarizes the entirety of the

00:03:02 --> 00:03:05

religion of Islam, the entirety of the call

00:03:05 --> 00:03:09

of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ when he says,

00:03:10 --> 00:03:13

فَلِذَٰلِكَ فَدْعُ Call the people to this call

00:03:13 --> 00:03:13

of Islam.

00:03:14 --> 00:03:17

وَاسْتَقِمْ كَمَا أُمِرْتَ And be firm as I

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

have commanded.

00:03:18 --> 00:03:21

وَلَا تَتَّبِعْ أَهْوَاءَهُمْ وَقُلْ آمَنْتُ بِمَا أَنزَرَ لَهُمْ

00:03:21 --> 00:03:26

مِنْ كِتَابٍ وَأُمِرْتُ لِأَعْدِلَ بَيْنَكُمْ Be firm to

00:03:26 --> 00:03:28

the book of Allah and say to them,

00:03:28 --> 00:03:31

Allah has commanded me to be just amongst

00:03:31 --> 00:03:32

all of you.

00:03:32 --> 00:03:36

وَأُمِرْتُ لِأَعْدِلَ بَيْنَكُمْ The command that Allah has

00:03:36 --> 00:03:39

given me, the obligation I have is to

00:03:39 --> 00:03:41

establish justice amongst all of you.

00:03:42 --> 00:03:44

And Allah praises the Prophet Dawud in the

00:03:44 --> 00:03:48

Quran, because Allah says, يَا دَاوُودُ إِنَّا جَعَلْنَاكَ

00:03:48 --> 00:03:53

خَلِيفَةً فِي الْأَرْضِ فَحْكُمْ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ بِالْقِسْطِ O

00:03:53 --> 00:03:56

Dawud, we have appointed you to be the

00:03:56 --> 00:03:57

khalifa on this earth.

00:03:57 --> 00:04:00

So what is the responsibility of the khalifa?

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

Why has a khalifa been established?

00:04:02 --> 00:04:05

What is the goal of establishing the laws

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

of Allah on earth?

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

Why?

00:04:06 --> 00:04:09

Make sure you deal with the people with

00:04:09 --> 00:04:10

justice.

00:04:10 --> 00:04:15

إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَأْمُرُ بِالْعَدْلِ وَالإِحْسَانِ وَإِتَائِدِ الْقُرْبَى This

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

verse, we end every khutbah with.

00:04:17 --> 00:04:21

The world, every khutbah given in this world,

00:04:21 --> 00:04:22

it ends with this verse.

00:04:22 --> 00:04:27

إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَأْمُرُ بِالْعَدْلِ Allah commands that everybody

00:04:27 --> 00:04:27

be just.

00:04:28 --> 00:04:31

Justice is one of the primary commandments of

00:04:31 --> 00:04:33

why Allah sent this religion down, why Allah

00:04:33 --> 00:04:36

revealed the books, why Allah subhanahu wa ta

00:04:36 --> 00:04:37

'ala sent the messengers.

00:04:38 --> 00:04:41

And all Muslims realize that justice is so

00:04:41 --> 00:04:45

important that there is no obligation between any

00:04:45 --> 00:04:49

two people that trumps the reality of justice.

00:04:49 --> 00:04:53

Justice is more important than any other haqq,

00:04:53 --> 00:04:55

any other right, any other obligation.

00:04:55 --> 00:04:56

Read the Quran.

00:04:57 --> 00:04:59

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says, يَا أَيُّهَا

00:04:59 --> 00:05:02

الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا O you who believe, قُولُوا قَوَّامِينَ

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

لِلَّهِ شُهَدَاءَ بِالْقِصْتِ Stand up for Allah and

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

be witnesses to justice.

00:05:07 --> 00:05:12

And then Allah says, وَلَا يَجْرِمَنَّكُمْ شَنَآنُ قَوْمٍ

00:05:12 --> 00:05:16

عَلَىٰ أَلَّا تَعْدِلُوا اِعْدِلُوا هُوَ أَقْرَبُ لِلتَّقْوَى And

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

make sure if you hate a person, make

00:05:18 --> 00:05:22

sure that hatred does not cause you to

00:05:22 --> 00:05:24

act unjustly with this person.

00:05:24 --> 00:05:27

Allah is saying, even if somebody has done

00:05:27 --> 00:05:30

dhulm against you, even if somebody has wronged

00:05:30 --> 00:05:32

you, you do not have the right to

00:05:32 --> 00:05:33

wrong them back.

00:05:33 --> 00:05:36

You cannot go beyond what Allah subhanahu wa

00:05:36 --> 00:05:37

ta'ala has allowed you.

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

And Allah warns you, make sure your own

00:05:40 --> 00:05:42

hatred does not cause you to act in

00:05:42 --> 00:05:44

a manner that is unjust.

00:05:44 --> 00:05:46

اِعْدِلُوا Be just.

00:05:46 --> 00:05:49

هُوَ أَقْرَبُ لِلتَّقْوَى That is the essence of

00:05:49 --> 00:05:50

being muttaqi.

00:05:50 --> 00:05:52

And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in

00:05:52 --> 00:05:54

the Qur'an, يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كُونُوا

00:05:54 --> 00:05:57

قَوَّامِينَ بِالْقِصْتِ شُهَدَاءَ لِلَّهِ O you who believe,

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

stand up for justice, witnesses to Allah.

00:06:00 --> 00:06:02

And then Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says

00:06:02 --> 00:06:08

that, And, وَلَوْ عَلَىٰ أَنفُسِكُمْ أَوِ الْوَالِدَيْنِ وَالْأَقْرَبِينَ

00:06:08 --> 00:06:11

Even if that justice be something that you

00:06:11 --> 00:06:14

have to testify against yourself, or even the

00:06:14 --> 00:06:16

rights of your own parents.

00:06:16 --> 00:06:18

There is no right in Islam that is

00:06:18 --> 00:06:20

bigger than the right of the mother, than

00:06:20 --> 00:06:20

the right of the father.

00:06:21 --> 00:06:23

There is no haq, there is no maqam

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

between two created beings that is higher than

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

the maqam of the mother and father.

00:06:28 --> 00:06:30

But there is a right that is not

00:06:30 --> 00:06:31

between two people.

00:06:31 --> 00:06:33

And that is even higher than the right

00:06:33 --> 00:06:35

between son and mother, the right between father

00:06:35 --> 00:06:38

and daughter, the right between brother and sister.

00:06:38 --> 00:06:39

What is that right?

00:06:39 --> 00:06:43

Allah says, Stand up for justice, even if

00:06:43 --> 00:06:46

it be against yourselves, or against your mothers

00:06:46 --> 00:06:48

and fathers and close relatives.

00:06:48 --> 00:06:51

There is no concession given when it comes

00:06:51 --> 00:06:52

to justice.

00:06:53 --> 00:06:55

Treat everybody the way that they should be

00:06:55 --> 00:06:58

treated, even if it is against the interest

00:06:58 --> 00:06:59

of your mother and father.

00:06:59 --> 00:07:01

But if they have done something unjust, then

00:07:01 --> 00:07:04

you must stand with justice, even against your

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

mother and father.

00:07:06 --> 00:07:09

What greater example is there of the reality

00:07:09 --> 00:07:11

of justice in this dunya?

00:07:11 --> 00:07:13

And we learn this from the Qur'an,

00:07:13 --> 00:07:15

from the seerah, from the lives of the

00:07:15 --> 00:07:16

sahaba.

00:07:16 --> 00:07:19

So many instances we can go on and

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

on.

00:07:19 --> 00:07:22

We all know in the seerah, so many

00:07:22 --> 00:07:25

instances that demonstrate the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam

00:07:25 --> 00:07:28

taught us to treat people the way they

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

deserve to be treated, even if it be

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

against family and friends.

00:07:32 --> 00:07:34

In the famous story of one of the

00:07:34 --> 00:07:36

noble ladies of Quraysh, she had done a

00:07:36 --> 00:07:40

crime, and the hudud or the punishment was

00:07:40 --> 00:07:41

gonna be implemented against her.

00:07:41 --> 00:07:45

So they tried to get a person whom

00:07:45 --> 00:07:46

the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam loved, and that

00:07:46 --> 00:07:48

is Usama ibn Zaid.

00:07:48 --> 00:07:49

They tried to say to him, Go and

00:07:49 --> 00:07:51

make shafa'ah, that you know, this is

00:07:51 --> 00:07:53

a noble lady, this is a very high

00:07:53 --> 00:07:56

lady, she has power, she has wealth, maybe

00:07:56 --> 00:07:59

just for her, let's not apply the punishment

00:07:59 --> 00:07:59

against her.

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

And so when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam

00:08:01 --> 00:08:04

heard this, he became so enraged, his face

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

was red.

00:08:05 --> 00:08:07

He called the sahaba to the masjid.

00:08:07 --> 00:08:10

He called a special meeting to teach them

00:08:10 --> 00:08:13

the reality, when you apply only to the

00:08:13 --> 00:08:16

poor, when you apply justice only to the

00:08:16 --> 00:08:18

unprivileged, this is not justice.

00:08:18 --> 00:08:20

Justice is to everybody.

00:08:20 --> 00:08:22

He called all of the sahaba, and he

00:08:22 --> 00:08:24

said to them, I swear by Allah, if

00:08:24 --> 00:08:27

my own daughter, and he mentioned her by

00:08:27 --> 00:08:30

name to drive the point home, Fatima binti

00:08:30 --> 00:08:33

Muhammad, if she were to have stolen, like

00:08:33 --> 00:08:35

this lady has stolen, I would have applied

00:08:35 --> 00:08:37

the law against her as well.

00:08:37 --> 00:08:40

What greater call is there of the importance

00:08:40 --> 00:08:41

of justice?

00:08:41 --> 00:08:43

In the seerah we learn, that the Prophet

00:08:43 --> 00:08:46

sallallahu alayhi wasallam, he sent one of the

00:08:46 --> 00:08:48

famous sahaba, Abdullah ibn Rawaha.

00:08:48 --> 00:08:51

He sent him to take half of the

00:08:51 --> 00:08:54

taxes for the yahood of Khaibar.

00:08:54 --> 00:08:55

That was the treaty they had done with

00:08:55 --> 00:08:57

the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam.

00:08:57 --> 00:08:58

Half of the produce would come.

00:08:59 --> 00:09:01

So when Abdullah ibn Rawaha came to the

00:09:01 --> 00:09:03

yahood of Khaibar, they gave him a sumptuous

00:09:03 --> 00:09:04

meal.

00:09:04 --> 00:09:06

They treated him like a royal, and then

00:09:06 --> 00:09:08

they handed him a bag of gold.

00:09:08 --> 00:09:10

And they kind of winked and they hinted

00:09:10 --> 00:09:12

that, if you can make a concession, you

00:09:12 --> 00:09:13

just don't give half and what not.

00:09:14 --> 00:09:17

Abdullah ibn Rawaha, that famous sahabi, who became

00:09:17 --> 00:09:19

a shaheed after this, Abdullah ibn Rawaha stood

00:09:19 --> 00:09:22

up in anger, and he said, you dare

00:09:22 --> 00:09:24

to bribe me to act in an unjust

00:09:24 --> 00:09:24

manner?

00:09:24 --> 00:09:26

Listen to me, oh yahood of Yathrib.

00:09:26 --> 00:09:29

He said this, Wallahi, there is no one

00:09:29 --> 00:09:31

more beloved to me on earth than the

00:09:31 --> 00:09:33

Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam.

00:09:33 --> 00:09:36

And there is no one more despised, especially

00:09:36 --> 00:09:38

after what you have done, than your own

00:09:38 --> 00:09:38

people.

00:09:39 --> 00:09:41

And yet still, I will treat you with

00:09:41 --> 00:09:42

utmost justice.

00:09:43 --> 00:09:45

Not one penny that you would not have

00:09:45 --> 00:09:46

taken, I would have taken away from you.

00:09:47 --> 00:09:49

Because this is what Allah has commanded us

00:09:49 --> 00:09:49

to do.

00:09:50 --> 00:09:52

And when they saw Abdullah ibn Rawaha's commitment

00:09:52 --> 00:09:55

to justice, they said to themselves, this is

00:09:55 --> 00:09:57

why they have been given victory.

00:09:57 --> 00:09:59

This is why they have given, they have

00:09:59 --> 00:10:01

gotten where they have gotten, because they are

00:10:01 --> 00:10:02

standing for justice.

00:10:03 --> 00:10:05

And this is the reality of all of

00:10:05 --> 00:10:07

the great sahaba, of the khulafa ir-rashidun.

00:10:07 --> 00:10:09

Why do you think Allah blessed them, and

00:10:09 --> 00:10:11

the later people were not as blessed?

00:10:12 --> 00:10:14

Why do you think their generations did more

00:10:14 --> 00:10:18

conquest, even though militarily, they didn't have what

00:10:18 --> 00:10:19

the later generations had?

00:10:19 --> 00:10:20

They didn't have the training.

00:10:21 --> 00:10:22

They didn't have the weapons.

00:10:22 --> 00:10:25

They didn't have anything that later generations had.

00:10:25 --> 00:10:27

And yet still, the defeats of the Roman

00:10:27 --> 00:10:30

Empire, the defeats of the Persian Empire, the

00:10:30 --> 00:10:33

expansion of Islam, it happened under their watch.

00:10:33 --> 00:10:34

Why?

00:10:34 --> 00:10:35

Because of their justice.

00:10:35 --> 00:10:39

So many anecdotes that are authentically narrated in

00:10:39 --> 00:10:39

our books.

00:10:39 --> 00:10:43

Once Umar ibn al-Khattab r.a, a

00:10:43 --> 00:10:45

large piece of cloth had come from the

00:10:45 --> 00:10:47

Romans, and it was a very fancy cloth.

00:10:48 --> 00:10:49

The Arabs couldn't produce at that time.

00:10:49 --> 00:10:52

So he divided it equally amongst all of

00:10:52 --> 00:10:53

the people, and he got to share as

00:10:53 --> 00:10:54

well.

00:10:54 --> 00:10:56

But that share wasn't enough to make an

00:10:56 --> 00:10:56

entire garment.

00:10:57 --> 00:10:58

Next week, Umar ibn al-Khattab is giving

00:10:58 --> 00:11:01

the khutbah, and lo and behold, from that

00:11:01 --> 00:11:03

cloth, that unique cloth, he has the entire

00:11:03 --> 00:11:05

garment of a thawb.

00:11:05 --> 00:11:07

One of the people stood up, and he

00:11:07 --> 00:11:10

said, O Umar r.a, fear Allah, you

00:11:10 --> 00:11:12

have acted unjustly.

00:11:12 --> 00:11:13

He said, what have I done?

00:11:13 --> 00:11:17

They said, look, that garment you distributed, it

00:11:17 --> 00:11:18

was not enough to make a cloak.

00:11:18 --> 00:11:20

It was not enough to make an entire

00:11:20 --> 00:11:21

kameez.

00:11:21 --> 00:11:22

It was just to make a shirt.

00:11:22 --> 00:11:23

You have a thawb.

00:11:23 --> 00:11:25

How did you get more than the rest

00:11:25 --> 00:11:26

of us?

00:11:26 --> 00:11:28

And Umar ibn al-Khattab said, where is

00:11:28 --> 00:11:29

my son Abdullah?

00:11:29 --> 00:11:31

Abdullah said, here I am, ya abati.

00:11:31 --> 00:11:32

He said, stand up and explain to them.

00:11:32 --> 00:11:35

Abdullah said, oh, so and so, I gifted

00:11:35 --> 00:11:36

willingly.

00:11:36 --> 00:11:39

I gifted my father my share of the

00:11:39 --> 00:11:39

cloth.

00:11:39 --> 00:11:41

That is why he is able to make

00:11:41 --> 00:11:43

an entire thawb.

00:11:43 --> 00:11:44

And so the man said, in that case,

00:11:44 --> 00:11:46

you have acted justly.

00:11:46 --> 00:11:49

I swear to you, O Muslims, I swear

00:11:49 --> 00:11:51

to you, Umar ibn al-Khattab r.a,

00:11:51 --> 00:11:54

imagine this, one piece of cloth.

00:11:54 --> 00:11:57

And the sahabah said, you're acting unjustly, they're

00:11:57 --> 00:11:57

monitoring.

00:11:58 --> 00:12:00

Look at, I'm sorry to say, look at

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

our rulers of today.

00:12:01 --> 00:12:04

One cloth, billions of dollars in their pockets,

00:12:04 --> 00:12:07

looting the entire country for their families and

00:12:07 --> 00:12:08

whatnot.

00:12:08 --> 00:12:10

And this is, people are not, they're not

00:12:10 --> 00:12:11

able to even speak.

00:12:11 --> 00:12:14

Like that sahabah spoke, one cloth and the

00:12:14 --> 00:12:15

sahabah put him in check.

00:12:15 --> 00:12:16

Where did you get that from?

00:12:16 --> 00:12:19

You're supposed to have justice amongst all of

00:12:19 --> 00:12:19

us.

00:12:19 --> 00:12:21

And he agreed and he explained.

00:12:21 --> 00:12:23

And he said, this was a willing gift

00:12:23 --> 00:12:24

that my son gave.

00:12:24 --> 00:12:24

I didn't force him.

00:12:25 --> 00:12:27

It was not something I acquired that is

00:12:27 --> 00:12:27

not my right.

00:12:28 --> 00:12:29

I am the same as all of you.

00:12:30 --> 00:12:32

This is why Umar ibn al-Khattab's reign

00:12:32 --> 00:12:32

was blessed.

00:12:33 --> 00:12:34

And then we don't have that now.

00:12:34 --> 00:12:37

Even though our armies are bigger, our weapons

00:12:37 --> 00:12:39

are mightier, but there is no Umar ibn

00:12:39 --> 00:12:41

al-Khattab r.a establishing justice.

00:12:41 --> 00:12:43

We can go on and on.

00:12:43 --> 00:12:44

Ali ibn al-Khattab r.a, it is

00:12:44 --> 00:12:46

a well-known incident in our books of

00:12:46 --> 00:12:49

history that somebody broke into his house, stole

00:12:49 --> 00:12:50

his armor.

00:12:50 --> 00:12:51

He had a very nice armor he would

00:12:51 --> 00:12:52

go to war with.

00:12:52 --> 00:12:53

And he was very hurt at this.

00:12:53 --> 00:12:54

He loved the armor.

00:12:54 --> 00:12:56

One day he's walking in the souk and

00:12:56 --> 00:12:58

he recognizes his armor.

00:12:58 --> 00:13:00

He sees it is being sold by one

00:13:00 --> 00:13:01

of the yahood of Kufa.

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

He becomes angry.

00:13:02 --> 00:13:04

He goes, this is my armor.

00:13:04 --> 00:13:05

How did you get it?

00:13:05 --> 00:13:06

And the man said, no, no, this is

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

mine.

00:13:06 --> 00:13:07

I bought it.

00:13:07 --> 00:13:08

He says, I'm going to sue you.

00:13:08 --> 00:13:09

I'm going to take you to the judge.

00:13:10 --> 00:13:11

And Ali was the khalifa.

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

And the judge was appointed by Ali.

00:13:13 --> 00:13:14

Shurayh was his name.

00:13:14 --> 00:13:15

Shurayh al-Qadi.

00:13:15 --> 00:13:17

And so Ali r.a took him to

00:13:17 --> 00:13:19

the judge, Shurayh.

00:13:19 --> 00:13:20

Shurayh is a tabi'i.

00:13:20 --> 00:13:22

Shurayh is a, you know, he's not a

00:13:22 --> 00:13:23

companion, but he's a scholar.

00:13:23 --> 00:13:25

Ali r.a, you know who he is.

00:13:25 --> 00:13:28

And Ali r.a said to Shurayh, O

00:13:28 --> 00:13:29

Shurayh, this is my armor.

00:13:30 --> 00:13:30

You know it as well.

00:13:31 --> 00:13:32

This is my armor.

00:13:32 --> 00:13:33

It's recognizable.

00:13:33 --> 00:13:34

And this man had it.

00:13:34 --> 00:13:35

It is stolen.

00:13:35 --> 00:13:36

He stole it.

00:13:36 --> 00:13:38

And Shurayh said, do you have two witnesses?

00:13:39 --> 00:13:41

Ali said, are you asking me for witnesses?

00:13:41 --> 00:13:43

This is my armor.

00:13:44 --> 00:13:45

I am Ali, the son-in-law of

00:13:45 --> 00:13:45

the Prophet.

00:13:45 --> 00:13:48

I am Ali r.a. You don't trust

00:13:48 --> 00:13:48

me?

00:13:48 --> 00:13:51

He said, I believe you, but I have

00:13:51 --> 00:13:52

to judge with justice.

00:13:52 --> 00:13:55

I believe you, but I cannot judge based

00:13:55 --> 00:13:56

upon my belief.

00:13:56 --> 00:13:58

I know you're telling me the truth, but

00:13:58 --> 00:14:01

unless you produce two witnesses that somebody stole,

00:14:01 --> 00:14:03

and you know this person stole, I cannot

00:14:03 --> 00:14:05

give the court ruling against you.

00:14:06 --> 00:14:08

And Ali r.a could not produce any

00:14:08 --> 00:14:10

evidence in terms of the two witnesses.

00:14:10 --> 00:14:13

And so he said to the merchant, he

00:14:13 --> 00:14:15

goes, this is yours, even though I know

00:14:15 --> 00:14:16

Ali is telling the truth, but it is

00:14:16 --> 00:14:19

yours because I have to judge with justice.

00:14:19 --> 00:14:21

When the merchant saw this, he said, by

00:14:21 --> 00:14:23

Allah, it is stolen.

00:14:23 --> 00:14:26

But I could never imagine that a khalifa

00:14:26 --> 00:14:29

of the Muslims will actually be ruled against,

00:14:29 --> 00:14:31

and a merchant of another background will be

00:14:31 --> 00:14:32

ruled in favor.

00:14:32 --> 00:14:35

This cannot happen except with a religion that

00:14:35 --> 00:14:36

is from Allah.

00:14:36 --> 00:14:37

And right there in the court he said,

00:14:37 --> 00:14:40

أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وأشهد أن

00:14:40 --> 00:14:42

محمد رسول الله This is what you call

00:14:42 --> 00:14:43

justice.

00:14:43 --> 00:14:46

Justice, treating people the way that they deserve

00:14:46 --> 00:14:47

to be treated.

00:14:47 --> 00:14:49

From the seerah as well, what is حلف

00:14:49 --> 00:14:49

الفضول?

00:14:50 --> 00:14:51

What happened in حلف الفضول?

00:14:51 --> 00:14:54

The Prophet s.a.w. along with the

00:14:54 --> 00:14:56

other sahaba, along with the other nobles of

00:14:56 --> 00:15:00

Mecca, agreed to establish justice on the people

00:15:00 --> 00:15:01

of Mecca.

00:15:01 --> 00:15:05

All Muslims realize that justice is manifested at

00:15:05 --> 00:15:06

every single level.

00:15:06 --> 00:15:09

It is manifested amongst our family, amongst our

00:15:09 --> 00:15:10

children.

00:15:10 --> 00:15:11

We treat them equally.

00:15:11 --> 00:15:14

It is manifested in the corporations, how we

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

treat our employees.

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

It is manifested amongst our family and friends.

00:15:18 --> 00:15:20

It is manifested in a societal level.

00:15:20 --> 00:15:23

At every single level, strive to establish justice.

00:15:24 --> 00:15:27

And know as Ibn Taymiyyah r.a remarked,

00:15:27 --> 00:15:30

that justice is so beloved to Allah.

00:15:30 --> 00:15:32

And he says, look at history to prove

00:15:32 --> 00:15:32

his point.

00:15:33 --> 00:15:36

Justice is so beloved to Allah that Allah

00:15:36 --> 00:15:37

blesses a kingdom.

00:15:38 --> 00:15:41

Allah blesses a nation that is kafir but

00:15:41 --> 00:15:42

applies justice.

00:15:42 --> 00:15:46

And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala despises a

00:15:46 --> 00:15:49

kingdom or a country that is Muslim but

00:15:49 --> 00:15:50

does not have justice.

00:15:51 --> 00:15:52

He says, look at history.

00:15:52 --> 00:15:54

A country or a kingdom that is fair

00:15:54 --> 00:15:57

and just, Allah will bless it in this

00:15:57 --> 00:15:57

dunya, in this dunya.

00:15:58 --> 00:15:59

For the akhirah is another thing.

00:15:59 --> 00:16:01

In this dunya, that country, that kingdom will

00:16:01 --> 00:16:02

be blessed.

00:16:02 --> 00:16:05

And the country that is Muslim, the kingdom

00:16:05 --> 00:16:07

that is Muslim but does not establish justice,

00:16:08 --> 00:16:10

where the rich get away with crimes, where

00:16:10 --> 00:16:12

the nobility can do things and the peasants

00:16:12 --> 00:16:12

are charged.

00:16:13 --> 00:16:15

That kingdom, that country he said, it will

00:16:15 --> 00:16:17

never flourish in the eyes of Allah subhanahu

00:16:17 --> 00:16:18

wa ta'ala.

00:16:18 --> 00:16:21

All Muslims realize that Allah subhanahu wa ta

00:16:21 --> 00:16:24

'ala commands for justice and loves justice and

00:16:24 --> 00:16:26

loves the people of justice.

00:16:26 --> 00:16:28

Of the verses in the Qur'an that

00:16:28 --> 00:16:31

Allah mentions those whom He loves, one category.

00:16:31 --> 00:16:33

And there's only 14 categories.

00:16:33 --> 00:16:37

One of them, Inna Allaha yuhibbu almuqsateen.

00:16:37 --> 00:16:40

Wallahu yuhibbu almuqsateen.

00:16:40 --> 00:16:42

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala loves the people

00:16:42 --> 00:16:43

of justice.

00:16:43 --> 00:16:45

And in the hadith, seven are the people

00:16:45 --> 00:16:47

who will be sheltered on that day when

00:16:47 --> 00:16:49

there is no shelter other than the shelter

00:16:49 --> 00:16:49

of Allah.

00:16:49 --> 00:16:51

And one of them is the ruler who

00:16:51 --> 00:16:53

establishes justice.

00:16:53 --> 00:16:55

All Muslims, examine your own life.

00:16:55 --> 00:16:58

See if you're treating anybody with injustice.

00:16:58 --> 00:17:01

See if there's anybody that has any grudge

00:17:01 --> 00:17:03

against you that is a legitimate grudge.

00:17:04 --> 00:17:07

The famous scholar Sufiyan al-Thawri remarked, If

00:17:07 --> 00:17:10

I were to commit 70 major sins between

00:17:10 --> 00:17:13

me and Allah, it is more easier for

00:17:13 --> 00:17:16

my conscience to deal with than one minor

00:17:16 --> 00:17:19

sin that involves injustice between me and another

00:17:19 --> 00:17:20

person.

00:17:20 --> 00:17:23

Because I can ask Allah's forgiveness and I

00:17:23 --> 00:17:24

will expect Allah's forgiveness.

00:17:24 --> 00:17:27

But how about between me and other person?

00:17:27 --> 00:17:28

How will that happen?

00:17:28 --> 00:17:31

70 major sins between me and Allah, it

00:17:31 --> 00:17:33

is easier for my conscience to deal with

00:17:33 --> 00:17:36

than one injustice against another person.

00:17:36 --> 00:17:38

So beware of any injustice.

00:17:39 --> 00:17:40

Beware of transgressing rights.

00:17:41 --> 00:17:43

Establish justice in your private lives, in your

00:17:43 --> 00:17:46

social lives, in your extended family and friends.

00:17:46 --> 00:17:48

And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will love

00:17:48 --> 00:17:48

you for this.

00:17:49 --> 00:17:50

May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala bless me

00:17:50 --> 00:17:52

and you with return to the Qur'an

00:17:52 --> 00:17:53

and He make us of those who His

00:17:53 --> 00:17:56

verses they understand and applies halal and haram

00:17:56 --> 00:17:56

throughout our lifespan.

00:17:57 --> 00:17:58

Ask Allah's forgiveness.

00:17:58 --> 00:17:59

You as well ask Him for He is

00:17:59 --> 00:18:01

the Ghafoor and the Rahman.

00:18:11 --> 00:18:15

الحمد لله الواحد الأحد الصمد الذي لم يلد

00:18:15 --> 00:18:19

ولم يولد ولم يكون له كفوان أحد وبعده

00:18:19 --> 00:18:22

Injustice can take place at all levels.

00:18:23 --> 00:18:24

It can take place in the secrecy of

00:18:24 --> 00:18:25

your house.

00:18:25 --> 00:18:27

It can take place in inheritance.

00:18:27 --> 00:18:29

It can take place and nobody knows except

00:18:29 --> 00:18:31

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

00:18:31 --> 00:18:33

And all injustices are evil.

00:18:34 --> 00:18:37

Our Prophet salallahu alayhi wasalam said, Beware of

00:18:37 --> 00:18:40

injustice for it will transform into grief and

00:18:40 --> 00:18:42

darkness on the day of judgment.

00:18:42 --> 00:18:47

اتقوا الظلم فإنه ظلمات يوم القيامة Beware of

00:18:47 --> 00:18:50

dhulm because it will come into dhulmat on

00:18:50 --> 00:18:50

the day of judgment.

00:18:51 --> 00:18:53

And our Prophet salallahu alayhi wasalam said, Do

00:18:53 --> 00:18:55

you know who is the bankrupt person?

00:18:55 --> 00:18:58

They said, Ya Rasulallah, the bankrupt is the

00:18:58 --> 00:18:59

one who doesn't have enough money to pay

00:18:59 --> 00:19:00

off his debts.

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

He goes, No, that is your bankrupt in

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

this dunya.

00:19:03 --> 00:19:05

For me, the bankrupt person is the one

00:19:05 --> 00:19:07

who will come on the day of judgment

00:19:07 --> 00:19:09

with good deeds that are going to the

00:19:09 --> 00:19:10

mountains.

00:19:11 --> 00:19:13

حسناتك الجبال Good deeds, you can see them

00:19:13 --> 00:19:15

all the way to the mountains.

00:19:15 --> 00:19:21

But he has backbited one person, stolen the

00:19:21 --> 00:19:25

money of another person, hit another person, taken

00:19:25 --> 00:19:26

the rights of another person.

00:19:26 --> 00:19:29

And every single one of them will ask

00:19:29 --> 00:19:30

for their reward.

00:19:30 --> 00:19:32

So all of his deeds will be given

00:19:32 --> 00:19:35

away until nothing will be left and he

00:19:35 --> 00:19:37

will remain bankrupt.

00:19:37 --> 00:19:40

That is the bankrupt person on the day

00:19:40 --> 00:19:40

of judgment.

00:19:40 --> 00:19:42

Between him and Allah, ibadat.

00:19:42 --> 00:19:44

Between him and Allah, salah.

00:19:44 --> 00:19:45

Between him and Allah, Quran.

00:19:46 --> 00:19:48

Between him and Allah, he thinks he is

00:19:48 --> 00:19:48

pious.

00:19:49 --> 00:19:52

Between him and the creation of Allah, nothing

00:19:52 --> 00:19:53

but injustices.

00:19:53 --> 00:19:56

And oh Muslims, of the greatest of injustices

00:19:56 --> 00:20:00

are that which takes place in public when

00:20:00 --> 00:20:03

everybody can see, when an entire group of

00:20:03 --> 00:20:06

people are treated unjustly, when the rights that

00:20:06 --> 00:20:08

are due to any human being are stripped

00:20:08 --> 00:20:11

away from a person because of their background,

00:20:11 --> 00:20:13

because of their skin color, because of their

00:20:13 --> 00:20:13

race.

00:20:13 --> 00:20:16

Justice does not care about religion.

00:20:16 --> 00:20:19

Our shari'ah commands us to be just

00:20:19 --> 00:20:21

with the Muslim and kafir, it doesn't matter.

00:20:21 --> 00:20:23

With the enemy and the ally, it doesn't

00:20:23 --> 00:20:23

matter.

00:20:23 --> 00:20:26

It commands us to be just even against

00:20:26 --> 00:20:28

the mother and father, it doesn't matter.

00:20:28 --> 00:20:30

So then what do we say when we

00:20:30 --> 00:20:31

look at the reality of what is happening

00:20:31 --> 00:20:34

in Gaza, where the greatest injustice of this

00:20:34 --> 00:20:39

generation, an entire group of people, 75 years,

00:20:39 --> 00:20:43

3 to 4 generations of being dispossessed, of

00:20:43 --> 00:20:45

being misplaced, of being thrown out of their

00:20:45 --> 00:20:48

lands, of being deprived of every single right

00:20:48 --> 00:20:50

that any decent human being should have.

00:20:51 --> 00:20:53

And the world watches and does not do

00:20:53 --> 00:20:54

anything.

00:20:54 --> 00:20:56

And now we see for the last year,

00:20:56 --> 00:20:58

and we are now commemorating, we should not

00:20:58 --> 00:21:01

say commemorating, even because it is a somber,

00:21:01 --> 00:21:03

and a sad, and a tragic reality.

00:21:03 --> 00:21:06

A year has gone by, and the biggest

00:21:06 --> 00:21:08

genocide of our lifetimes.

00:21:08 --> 00:21:11

More children have been killed in the last

00:21:11 --> 00:21:14

12 months than have been killed in the

00:21:14 --> 00:21:16

last decade on earth.

00:21:16 --> 00:21:18

More children have been killed in Gaza in

00:21:18 --> 00:21:22

the last year than the entire world in

00:21:22 --> 00:21:23

the last decade.

00:21:23 --> 00:21:25

What greater injustice is there?

00:21:25 --> 00:21:27

And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, in particular

00:21:27 --> 00:21:30

when it comes to children, Allah says on

00:21:30 --> 00:21:31

that day, what is the day of judgment?

00:21:31 --> 00:21:34

When the baby will be asked, by what

00:21:34 --> 00:21:35

crime was this baby killed?

00:21:36 --> 00:21:39

وَإِذَا الْمَؤُودَةُ سُئِلَتْ بِأَيِّ ذَمْبٍ قُتِلَتْ Of the

00:21:39 --> 00:21:42

greatest injustices is the killing of people, the

00:21:42 --> 00:21:43

bombing of people.

00:21:44 --> 00:21:46

Why is Firaun cursed in the Qur'an?

00:21:46 --> 00:21:49

Why is Firaun considered to be the worst

00:21:49 --> 00:21:51

human being who ever lived in the history

00:21:51 --> 00:21:52

of mankind?

00:21:52 --> 00:21:54

This is what the Qur'an says, وَيَوْمَ

00:21:54 --> 00:21:58

الْقِيَامَةِ أَدْخِلُ آلَ فِرْعَوْنَ أَشَدَّ الْعَذَابِ The worst

00:21:58 --> 00:22:01

punishment of any human being, of all of

00:22:01 --> 00:22:03

human history will be given to Firaun.

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

Why?

00:22:03 --> 00:22:07

Because his injustice was against an entire people.

00:22:08 --> 00:22:11

He displaced, he tortured, he murdered, he killed

00:22:11 --> 00:22:12

babies.

00:22:12 --> 00:22:15

This is why Allah called Firaun the worst

00:22:15 --> 00:22:16

criminal in all of mankind.

00:22:17 --> 00:22:19

It is ironic, it is tragic that the

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

people whom Firaun did this against, their children,

00:22:23 --> 00:22:26

their descendants are adopting the tactics of Firaun.

00:22:26 --> 00:22:28

They have learned from the very person who

00:22:28 --> 00:22:30

did what they did against him.

00:22:30 --> 00:22:33

And they are now enacting the exact policies

00:22:33 --> 00:22:35

of Firaun against innocent people.

00:22:35 --> 00:22:37

But Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is watching.

00:22:38 --> 00:22:40

And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala never allows

00:22:40 --> 00:22:41

injustice to flourish.

00:22:42 --> 00:22:46

Our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam said, Allah might

00:22:46 --> 00:22:48

allow the unjust person some leeway.

00:22:48 --> 00:22:50

Allah might allow him some time.

00:22:50 --> 00:22:53

But Allah will always eventually take him.

00:22:54 --> 00:22:56

And when Allah takes him, Allah subhanahu wa

00:22:56 --> 00:22:57

ta'ala, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam is

00:22:57 --> 00:22:57

a metaphor.

00:22:58 --> 00:23:00

Allah grabs him by the fist and does

00:23:00 --> 00:23:01

not let go.

00:23:01 --> 00:23:03

The qabd of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:23:03 --> 00:23:05

will not let that person go.

00:23:05 --> 00:23:08

O Muslims, there is no doubt that the

00:23:08 --> 00:23:11

injustices we are seeing, Allah will demonstrate His

00:23:11 --> 00:23:12

reality.

00:23:12 --> 00:23:15

Justice always prevails on this earth.

00:23:15 --> 00:23:17

There is no doubt that Allah will bless

00:23:17 --> 00:23:18

the people who are suffering.

00:23:19 --> 00:23:21

Allah will bless those who are fighting against

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

injustice.

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

Human history teaches us this.

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

Who are the greatest rulers?

00:23:25 --> 00:23:26

Even amongst the non-Muslims.

00:23:26 --> 00:23:28

Even amongst those who don't believe in God.

00:23:28 --> 00:23:30

Who do they look up to in this

00:23:30 --> 00:23:30

country?

00:23:30 --> 00:23:33

The biggest, the greatest president was Abraham Lincoln.

00:23:33 --> 00:23:33

Why?

00:23:33 --> 00:23:36

Because he stood up for the rights of

00:23:36 --> 00:23:37

the African-American slaves.

00:23:37 --> 00:23:40

And he fought his own country to establish

00:23:40 --> 00:23:41

justice on earth.

00:23:41 --> 00:23:43

He divided his country.

00:23:43 --> 00:23:45

He went to war with his own people.

00:23:45 --> 00:23:47

And at the time, even his own people

00:23:47 --> 00:23:50

called him a traitor, called him a divider,

00:23:50 --> 00:23:51

called him a disunification.

00:23:52 --> 00:23:54

And now look, he is considered to be

00:23:54 --> 00:23:56

the greatest of all presidents.

00:23:56 --> 00:23:57

Look at our recent history.

00:23:57 --> 00:24:00

Which leaders are there that are considered to

00:24:00 --> 00:24:02

be the greatest leaders amongst all of mankind?

00:24:02 --> 00:24:05

Martin Luther King Jr. Once again in his

00:24:05 --> 00:24:07

lifetime, he was considered to be a traitor.

00:24:07 --> 00:24:10

He was considered to be an agitator.

00:24:10 --> 00:24:12

And yet now he is considered a hero.

00:24:12 --> 00:24:12

Why?

00:24:12 --> 00:24:14

Because he stood up for justice.

00:24:14 --> 00:24:18

Nelson Mandela, perhaps the most respected and admired

00:24:18 --> 00:24:20

leader in our generation in the last 50

00:24:20 --> 00:24:20

years.

00:24:21 --> 00:24:22

Why is he revered?

00:24:22 --> 00:24:24

Because he stood up for justice.

00:24:24 --> 00:24:27

Every one of these people in their lifetimes

00:24:27 --> 00:24:29

was called a terrorist.

00:24:29 --> 00:24:31

Every one of them was considered to be

00:24:31 --> 00:24:32

an evil person.

00:24:32 --> 00:24:35

The media, the politicians, the people thought that

00:24:35 --> 00:24:37

these are all agitators.

00:24:37 --> 00:24:39

Do not ever doubt the truth and the

00:24:39 --> 00:24:40

promise of Allah.

00:24:40 --> 00:24:42

Allah's promise is always true.

00:24:43 --> 00:24:44

Injustice will never flourish.

00:24:44 --> 00:24:46

Tyranny will never be rewarded.

00:24:47 --> 00:24:48

Allah will judge in the hereafter.

00:24:49 --> 00:24:52

But even in this world, Allah's truth holds

00:24:52 --> 00:24:55

firm and the people who were treated unjustly

00:24:55 --> 00:24:58

will be given dignity even on this earth.

00:24:58 --> 00:25:01

And those who perpetrated injustice, the tyrants, the

00:25:01 --> 00:25:05

regime changers, the apartheid fascists, those who killed

00:25:05 --> 00:25:07

innocent people, it doesn't matter.

00:25:07 --> 00:25:08

There is a right now.

00:25:08 --> 00:25:09

It doesn't matter.

00:25:09 --> 00:25:12

They're purchasing the politicians and their control of

00:25:12 --> 00:25:13

the media right now.

00:25:13 --> 00:25:14

All of this is temporary.

00:25:14 --> 00:25:18

Allah's sunnah will be established and these very

00:25:18 --> 00:25:20

people will be shamed.

00:25:20 --> 00:25:22

They will be humiliated.

00:25:22 --> 00:25:24

No one will respect them even in this

00:25:24 --> 00:25:27

dunya, much less the akhirah when they will

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

meet their faith.

00:25:28 --> 00:25:29

So the question is not for the future.

00:25:30 --> 00:25:32

The question, and with this I conclude, when

00:25:32 --> 00:25:35

we understand justice and the importance of justice

00:25:35 --> 00:25:37

and why Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala prays

00:25:37 --> 00:25:40

justice, the question then, what are we doing

00:25:40 --> 00:25:42

to establish that justice?

00:25:42 --> 00:25:44

Not just in our lives, but amongst the

00:25:44 --> 00:25:47

Palestinian people after one year has gone by.

00:25:47 --> 00:25:49

The battle, Allah will win it.

00:25:49 --> 00:25:50

There's no question.

00:25:50 --> 00:25:52

But what have we done to be a

00:25:52 --> 00:25:52

part of the battle?

00:25:53 --> 00:25:54

What have we done to be on the

00:25:54 --> 00:25:56

side of truth, on the side of justice?

00:25:57 --> 00:25:59

Because in the end, that is why Allah

00:25:59 --> 00:26:00

revealed this religion.

00:26:00 --> 00:26:02

That is why Allah sent the prophets.

00:26:02 --> 00:26:04

That is why the books have come down.

00:26:04 --> 00:26:06

Let us stand with justice.

00:26:06 --> 00:26:07

Let us never get tired.

00:26:07 --> 00:26:09

I know a year has gone and some

00:26:09 --> 00:26:12

people, astaghfirullah, shaitan is coming and saying, one

00:26:12 --> 00:26:12

year has gone by.

00:26:13 --> 00:26:14

They feel a sense of fatigue.

00:26:14 --> 00:26:17

But understand, it's not just about Gaza.

00:26:17 --> 00:26:18

It's not just about Palestine.

00:26:18 --> 00:26:20

It's not just about Ardham Muqaddas.

00:26:20 --> 00:26:22

Even though these are all important, it is

00:26:22 --> 00:26:26

also about the reality of standing for justice

00:26:26 --> 00:26:27

and standing against injustice.

00:26:28 --> 00:26:31

And that is linked to la ilaha illallah,

00:26:31 --> 00:26:32

Muhammadur Rasulullah.

00:26:32 --> 00:26:34

And that will never change until the day

00:26:34 --> 00:26:35

of judgment.

00:26:35 --> 00:26:37

May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala bless all

00:26:37 --> 00:26:38

of us to stand up for the truth

00:26:38 --> 00:26:39

and justice.

00:26:39 --> 00:26:41

Allahumma inni da'in fa amminoo.

00:26:41 --> 00:26:43

Allahumma la tazana fi yawmi dhanban illa ghafarta

00:26:43 --> 00:26:46

00:26:57 --> 00:26:58

Rabbana innaka ra'ufur raheem.

00:26:59 --> 00:27:01

Allahumma a'iza al-Islam wa al-Muslimeen.

00:27:01 --> 00:27:04

Allahumma a'iza al-Islam wa al-Muslimeen.

00:27:04 --> 00:27:07

Allahumma man arada al-Islam wa al-Muslimeen

00:27:07 --> 00:27:10

Ya qawiyu ya aziz.

00:27:11 --> 00:27:12

Ibadallah.

00:27:12 --> 00:27:15

Inna Allah ta'ala ya'muru bil-adli wa

00:27:19 --> 00:27:21

Ya'idukum la'allakum tathakkaroon.

00:27:21 --> 00:27:24

Udhkuru Allah al-Azim yadhkurukum wa ashkuruhu yadlilakum

00:27:24 --> 00:27:26

wa ladhkuru Allah ta'ala akbar.

00:27:26 --> 00:27:27

Wa aqimis salat.

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

Sadaqallahul Aliyyul Azim.

00:28:07 --> 00:28:09

Al-Fatiha.
