Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,
in the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Most Merciful. All praise is due to Allah. We bear witness that no one is worthy of worship but Allah And we bear witness that Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is indeed his final messenger. The best of speech is the book of Allah. The best of guidance is the guidance of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
May Allah Subhana Allah make us amongst those who listen to the best of speech, the book of Allah and follow its commandments. And may Allah Subhana Allah make us amongst those who come to know the best of ways the way of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and make us amongst his followers. Allahu Amin Allahumma ErmI
Allahumma Amin Yabba rasool Allah is Allah to Robbie was Allahu Allah, the Quran if he must have a wish Louisville Quran if Wilkinsons Yachty Lyford Hello Cole, while isolated barren football. Once we said that when the Quran tells a story, the purpose of the Quran is not to fulfill our own curiosity, but rather to enlighten and open our minds. Stories stick. It is an easy way of conveying a lesson. People love to listen to stories. The stories of the Quran are brief. They are not concerned mostly about historicity, but they're concerned about the message that is in them. Your honorable Nigel levada was Allume annual courier utility cannot have the rattle Why
is he doing recepty Is that team Heaton whom you almost up to him Shura. Well mela is between alerta T him because Allah can bloom be McCann we have.
The Quran tells us in two short verses, about a group of people whom Allah subhanho wa Taala because of the Defiance because of their disobedience, Allah subhanaw taala commanded and forbade them from fishing on the Sabbath. Allah said on the Sabbath, you do not fish. But to make even detest harder. It said that on the day of the service is the team Hidin room chakra arriba on the Sabbath to make even the test more difficult. Allah said that on that day, the fish would come out so close and so reachable, but you're not supposed to touch them. You're not supposed to.
And what do these people do? They devise a plan thinking that they can outsmart Allah subhanho wa taala. So what do they do? They set up their nets on Friday. Technically, they're not fishing on Saturday. But when they come on Sunday, all the fish have been trapped on Saturday. But the collection takes place on Sunday.
The nets were set on Friday, nothing is happening on Saturday, Sunday, they make the collection
trying to outsmart Allah subhanaw taala.
But then listen to the reaction of those who are around
what is called omega two minimum limiter eluna. How many Lahoma Liko. Whom omega zero whom as Abba Chedid. But then a group amongst them, the righteous, the wise amongst them? They spoke up and they said, look, what you're doing is wrong. What you're doing is a violation. You may be adhering to the letter of the law, but you are for sure breaking the spirit of the law.
You shouldn't be doing this. And they kept reminding the people don't do that. Do not think that you are outsmarting Allah subhanaw taala do not violate the Sabbath do not do and go against what Allah subhanaw taala has said. And these people spoke up, and they kept speaking and they kept speaking so much so that some people looked at them and they said Yo timeout is odd, onward minimum. So a group from amongst them they said, I'm out limiter, Ilona Coleman. Hola. Hola. Hola. Why do you preach? Why do you admonish? Why do you attempt to teach people who Allah will surely annihilate our as the womb as urban Shalida? or Allah who will surely punish them with a severe chastisement. Why do you
do that?
Listen to this.
We've got three people going on right now. We've got the people who are actually in violation. They are doing the fishing, complete violation. And then there are those who did not fish. But these people were have to kind. Some decided that they're going to be silent about what is going on. And the others, they said we need to speak up. We must do something about this. But one group, even though they did not violate but they were guilty of something else. They will guilty of apathy.
A lamb of Allah. They were guilty of apathy. They saw the wrong but they decided that we're not going to do anything about it. We're going to wait for Allah to punish these people. We are going to wait for Allah subhanaw taala to Bring It On on them. So they want to the people who are talking, you're wasting your time, man. Why are you reaching out to all these politicians
Why are you reaching to your representatives? Why are you contacting the media? Why are you emailing CNN? Why are you doing all of this? It's a waste of time and a Do you think politicians are going to read your emails? Do you think that your local representatives really care about you? Do you think that there are enough Muslims to really make a difference? You're just wasting your time.
limiter is a woman, Allah Who?
Why do you preach to people whom Allah will annihilate Allah will destroy, you are just wasting your time.
The people who spoke
this is what we call a beautiful comeback. Let's see, believers are not only doers of good, but also believers are those who think well, and they are also able to speak well. Remember what we said, there is a difference between a good sounding argument and a good sound argument. Remember what they teach in law school? In law school, the first lesson that law students are given is what? He who frames the argument wins the argument. So now they just frame the argument limita, Arizona Coleman, Allah homophilic Why do you preach to people whom Allah will annihilate a woman as a woman as urban cheerleader, or Allah will bring a painful chastisement against them?
So the righteous who spoke up and they said
Matthew rotten Ihlara become
my rotten Illa or become wala Allahu goon is a number one we speak so that we free ourselves from blame will our Lord Allah subhanho wa taala.
You saw what has happening to the people of Gaza? What did you do about it? Well, Allah and I lived far away and there was really nothing that I could have done. And Allah you know how it is. And you know, with all these politicians, everybody here is bought by AIPAC. And you know, the Jewish Lobby is very strong with Christian Zionism, they are really in charge, there was really nothing for me to do. So these people and they spoke and they said, the elimination of evil begins by pointing out
talking about the evil,
Mafia, rotten, Ihlara become, we saw the evil and we have an obligation, we have to speak against it. Mazzy rotten Ihlara become to free ourselves from blame with our Lord Allah subhanho wa taala. Whether that becomes fruitful or not in my lifetime or not, that's not what Allah subhanaw taala will ask me about Allah will ask me, what did you do? What was your effort in this not? Whether your effort was fruitful or not? God Almighty rotten a lot of people.
We wanted to make sure that we are free of blame from with our Lord Allah Subhana Allah. But there is also something else, whether alone yet the own, we did so so that they may be mindful, so that they may be mindful CD, as the Quran tells us. It is not a big deal to win over your enemy.
So called the Quran wants us to do initially.
It's not a big deal to win over your enemy. It is a big deal to win your enemy over.
It may not happen, but you must at least make that attempt.
Because see, the problem is not evil.
The problem is apathy.
When people just don't care,
when people don't care, there is the greatest of all evil, evil will always be there. What determines whether evil is intensive stroke spreading or not is all about what are people doing about it? Apathy
and that's why they say the opposite of love. Axon hub ish, mutual bolt, they said the opposite of love is not hate. The opposite of love is apathy.
axle, heavy metal bolt, axle help, alarm oberlo When you don't care
because if you love you would care.
And Allah is teaching us do not be like the people who violate, but also do not be like the people who were apathetic.
Because apathy is a silent killer.
Apathy is a silent killer
You know what is more dangerous even than apathy, because apathy eventually adds up and apathy leads to cowardice.
Quran does not want the reader of the Quran to be a coward, or to be guilty of apathy. Listen to what the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, lace Amina Mendota. Shaban and Wade Yahuda. He is not of us, the one who sleeps with a full belly. Their neighbor sleeps with an empty belly. These people know it and they don't do anything about it. Why not? apathy?
Don't get
lazy. I mean, he's not one of us cannot really consider yourself of the believers. When you are guilty of apathy. People don't care.
I didn't know what's going on here, man. I don't know and I really don't care. A Do you know that there is an active genocide taking place in Congo right now. Now, Africans are always fighting anyways. Okay.
Do you know that there is another genocide going on? So many? These people have always had problems just dismissive of it? See, this attitude is a silent killer. Prophets Allahu alayhi wa sallam said that is not befitting to a believer. Odin wo Salallahu Alaihe Salam Phil, how do you feel about see Rob Bucky Collymore has been
continually welcomed has already
gone to jail Ian Welcome to m&e Allah Rebecca. One terrible,
one terrible Alameen said then the Hadith the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that on the Day of Judgment, Allah who will confront one of his servants, and he will say to him or her, I was sick, but you visited me not. So the servant would obviously defend him or herself and say, Your Allah, You are the Lord of the Worlds how me visiting you. And then Allah subhanaw taala said, Nakata, alimta, and I believe we learn Kana Marie then welcome to Zoho mama no, Anelka Zota, who lowered a 10 year window. So Allah Allah rasool Allah. So Allah subhana, Allah would say, Are you think now you have a good answer? You really come up with a brilliant argument. It said, it came to
your knowledge, that such unsought person was sick, you knew about it, and you visited them not for the sake to comfort them, had you visited them, you would have found me they're
contagious to me. I was hungry and you fed me not? said Allah, how can I feed you? And you are rubble Alameen, the Lord of the walls.
And Allah will say, alimta, an Aberdeen fallen in Canada.
The whole of you knew about my servants such and such, and you know, they were hungry and you fed them not had you fed them, you would have indeed found me to be there.
Apathy, complete apathy, the things that we really ought to care about, we absolutely do not care about and all the nonsense that we shouldn't care about, oh, we spent hours upon hours on it.
And that's not acceptable man. In our deen, that's not acceptable. Allah tells us the story, so that people wake up. Apathy is a disease. In the Hadith, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says, It is a very popular, ancient proverb, parable that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam gives message to me Allah Who do dilla you know the one that is adherent to the teachings of Allah subhanho wa Taala within the parameters that Allah subhanaw taala has set and for those who are in violation of the parameters that Allah subhanaw taala has said, cannot tell you how Minister Harmon Allah Safina was like a group of people. They through that they had a draw as who gets the upper
deck and who gets the lower deck. Obviously everybody wants to be on the upper deck, fresh air, access to water, it's more free, nice scenery. So some ended up in the upper deck. Other people ended up on the lower deck. The people in the lower deck, every time they want to fetch water, they would have to come up to the upper deck of the of the of the ship. So they thought to themselves and they said wait a minute, man every time we have to that's such a big inconvenience going up and then coming down again getting the water it
might be easier to just make a little hole here in the very bottom of the ship so that we have immediate access to the water.
Good intentions.
But remember what they say
The road to *
is paved with good intentions Larabee, if you know,
the road to * is paved with good intentions.
So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, if the people in the upper deck, choose to do nothing about this, everybody will go down.
Everybody goes down. And this is precisely what is happening today. Everybody is going down, people in the upper part of the deck, everybody is apathetic, nobody cares. Nobody cares. So, the Quran is reminding us, the point is not to entertain. But the point is to bring about light upon a group of people. See, we get we get too caught up by saying, Man, these people, they really tried to outsmart Allah, can you believe this? Like what kind of a fool would try to outsmart Allah. But the Quran said, there is also another group of people there, those who were apathetic, and those who decided to speak up and do something about it, despite the fact that they were told that these people are
not listening. Why do you admire? Why are you preaching to them? Why do you care? Why do you make the phone calls to the White House? Why do you make cold phone calls to the congress people? Why do you care?
Now, one time, when I was living in back in California, the Mayor of the City of Los Angeles, and he was mayor Garcia at the time, he made a statement he visited, occupied Palace occupied Philistine. He visited occupied Philistine. And he expressed solidarity with those who stole the land. I don't like to name them, they don't deserve that much. So he made a statement of solidarity with the people who stole the land. When he came back, people were complaining that you know, why did you make that statement? You're a mayor. Just worry about our city. And why are you talking about this, and the Muslims were complaining?
You know what we were told
that point, Mayor Garcia said,
you Muslims are complaining to me, let me tell you what happened. When I came back on my messages, I found 100 voice messages, thanking me for the solidarity that I showed to the people who stole the land. Not a single phone call, not a single email that really documents how you all feel.
politicians understand the language of numbers. When you make that phone call, when you say we don't like this, when you say we are here and we see now everybody's talking about Muslim votes. And this wing says you know, most Muslims in Michigan Muslims in Pennsylvania Muslims in Florida, they are about to make a difference. Why? Because they care about our issues. No man because they won't votes. But don't wait for a catastrophe. At that point, you're just selfish.
Up apathy leads to cowardice. Apathy is a silent killer. Apathy is the opposite of love. If you love
you wouldn't be apathetic. May Allah subhanaw taala increases in understanding Allah mean, a whole Holy Father was stopped hula hula confessed of Euro who in the Hall of.
Hamdu lillahi Wa Kafa wa Salatu was Salam ala Rasulillah Mustafa for Allah MBSR Hepta for your story, always love to repeat. A sage was invited to talk to a group of people. And everybody was excited about you know, we have this speaker coming from a far distance and when the speaker came to address the crowd, the crowd was very small. So the organizers they said we put so much effort and look at how many people showed up. Not enough people showed up. So the man, you know, wise man, he looked at the organizers and he said people he said, Do not be disappointed by your numbers. We are not looking for numbers amongst our faithful. We are looking for Faith in our numbers. We looking
for faith amongst our numbers, because Change never took place because the majority wanted it. Change has always taken place because there was a committed minority behind it. Be of that committed minority, not of those who are
apathetic and just absolutely don't care. See the same way that we today don't care. To Morrow things will creep into us and other people will not care.
Memphis is really bad with crime Hamdulillah we don't live in. I live in a gated community. Well, guess what, you keep that attitude up. And you know what happens eventually, your gated community will not protect you.
That is how our deen works not just for your sake, that makes you selfish. Matthew Ratan ilaro become I did something about it. And we're happy to say that insha Allah tonight we will be hosting after tomorrow as well. We will be hosting people who are making a difference. Our brothers and sisters in care. Personally speaking, if you Google my name, unfortunately, the very first thing that comes up is what Faza versus FBI. That's not how you want to be known. But that has only become possible because of my brothers and sisters in care. Personally, my story represents many people, people who were violated by their own government, people who were targeted because they're Muslims,
people who were targeted because they came to the masjid. So the FBI decides we need to monitor these people, what have they done? We don't know. But they're Muslims.
That's profiling. That's a violation. So encouraged said Man, you need to do something about this. You need to stand up and speak not just for yourself, but many people out there. You cannot appreciate enough the type of effort that these brothers and sisters are doing. See our apathy
is unacceptable. Their effort, though, is beautiful. So inshallah we invite you tonight Insha Allah, we have our brothers and sisters insha Allah visiting us from care. They will be in our Friday night programs. After the Salah, please, please do stick around. Brother Amen. Insha Allah will be talking to us for just I promise you three to five minutes, and he will be updating us with all the updates that we need to hear about.
You're all hearing about 100,000 people in Michigan are voting as uncommitted and it's making a story at this point, because somebody has put the effort there. So Insha Allah, please do stick around for that. And we've all seen the absolutely horrific images that came out of Gaza. In the past few days when people were targeted as they were getting the the aid that they were receiving. May Allah subhanaw taala destroy the people who targeted them. Each and every one of them Europa Alameen may ever resigns. Thug suffers in this life, as well as the here after your peril. I mean, may they have no comfort Not in this life, not in the Hereafter era Parral I mean, may Allah Subhana

Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah. So I'm Ali kumara. Rahmatullah. stockfeed law Stouffville. Last
Allah please be patient, sit down and care insha Allah for your Muslim Ummah, locally and globally. I am your brother in Islam I am and I shot the director of Masjid engagement for care, the Council on American Islamic Relations, the largest civil rights and advocacy group for Muslims in America with chapters all over the country. Tonight we will have the Director of Research Department will come until you A to Z about K about care after Isha. But now we need your support to continue this noble work and impactful mission. I will give you two major reasons why you need to support us and care about the work of care. After Reza incidents when we announced our solidarity with Palestine
and our brothers and sisters in Gaza, we received the bombing threats to the hotel we were going to do our annual event yet, although the hotel canceled on us. We ended up doing a very historical record successful event that we're the second thing is our involvement with the Muslim communities in a swing states, just like what happened in the primary election three days ago in Michigan, the continuous dedicated work for Muslims to have one united vote Alhamdulillah 100,000 people voted three days ago, and we were together very successful to make 94% of the Muslim voters vote uncommitted. That will send a very strong, straight forward message that if you miss with one of us,
you will face all of us.
And that's why our work is to continue with your generous sadaqa on Zika and donation 65. Plus attorneys work for Ken national and in other chapters to defend our rights to Stop Harassment to stop the genocide like what's happening in Russia to stop
is the double standard and we need to rise to a higher level of success when we work together. If you agree with me, you like this work, you need to support it. Please raise your hand for $10,000 If you believe this work is worth you support, we need a $10,000 donor. I will stand I will go superfast. But at the same time, the people who care enough and have the blessings and the resources from Allah stand up and show you solidarity with the work that will protect Muslims and stop the madness and these massacres. Our work will in sha Allah save lives and sha Allah will stop the massacre in Gaza. Do we have that Kareem? Who's who support care and want to show us your support?
And I will say I will do it whether it's a monthly one donation, masha Allah, may Allah reward you accept them, you say, I mean, do you have another Karim? Who will stand up and say I will make it happen? Another getting to say $10,000 For what Allah has given you. I will go for the $5,000. And in two seconds, I need to jump to a small amount with everybody will contribute. Do we have another Karim? Who likes the work of Kim, it says a cat eligible how many people can stand up for the federal court? How many people just like we took the case of your Imam, Imam yesterday to the Supreme Court, and we won, and many other cases, we can do it alone. And the individual client
cannot do it on their own. We need collective support from the community. That's why your donation go much heavier. And now we need to send a very strong message together a $5,000 Do we have another Kareem $5,000 I will go to $1,000 Even if you have to make it $1 A day. We need to see big support from you. Insha Allah Who believes this work is important, critical social obligation and you want to stand up with your brothers and sisters and support us with $1,000 who can do that?
Who cannot can do that.
Michelle affect me and number three, who is number four. I was hoping 50 People will raise their hand. We need to see more Karim's to stand up for what is right for me to this evil work together. We don't need the ship to sink when we are united one body when we send a strong message $1,000 tech Bill $1,000 FISA Beenleigh $1,000 to stand up for what is right pick beer. Number six, raise your hand at least a dozen from you to come forward. Even if you make it $80 A month even if you make it $100 Whatever cheesy, but that could be it you haven't you need to have an answer in front of Allah like Imam yesterday and should not get a 10 year old become a good dancer in front of Allah number
seven $1,000 Number seven to say I will do it visa vie de la who has the Masha Allah number eight, I would like
to go for them on Karim's who believes this is important work, it is more important than building masajid This is more important because you protect the misogyny and the leaders and the Imams that this is will protect the next generation. This will protect Islam here and abroad. Number 10 $1,000. Tech bill number 11 $1,000 systems on we do have systems that first Kadima mashallah number 12.

can do a $500 fee? 70 dilla leads to that to the level of the challenge and the circumstances we can save lives, not with the medical supplies and food which other other countries can do. We live in America with an opportunity to make an impact locally. Stand up together inshallah. $500 who can do that $500 pipe I will take me to accept from you protect your health and wealth.
