Howdy, how do you Mohammed in sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, in
the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Most Merciful.
All praise is due to Allah. We have a witness that no one is
worthy of worship but Allah and we will witness that Muhammad
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is indeed his final messenger.
The best of speech, 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

Appleby, well who are electrons Islam? What is that our la Safal
are the Lucy the fee where you helical herstellen Nestle wala
hula, your humble facade. So this is an election season.
And it is very befitting that we speak about hypocrisy.
Not only that, but listening to the way that the Quran sometimes
characterizes some of these personalities.
Allah tells us in Surah Al Baqarah, the second chapter in the
Quran, verse number two
104 Wamena Nursey May your aji mukha who fill hayati dunya. Among
amongst people are those who impressed you with the eloquence
of their speech in this worldly life gifted, know how to
manipulate words. They're very gifted in sound bites, good
sounding arguments. They know what people want to hear, and they let
people hear what it is that they want to hear. They're very gifted
when it comes to that, so much so that Allah said that you will be
impressed with their speech, because they seem to be saying all
the right things. politician will stand in front of people. And
seemingly, they will be saying all the right things that the people
want to hear. You're given Kahaluu Phil hayati Dunia when they speak
about this role, you're impressed how knowledgeable charismatic and
eloquent they are?
Well, you should Allah Allah mafia can be.
And moreover, not only do they do this, and they impress you, to
further convince you, sometimes even some of them will say that
Allah is aware of what is in their heart, bringing Allah as a
witness, that what they are telling you is truly what is in
their heart. Because see, we have a tendency to question the
intentions of politicians, because politicians will say whatever it
is, that needs to be said for them to be re elected. But what happens
when elected, but what happens is that because they know that this
is what's going on through the minds of people, they say, by the
way, what you hear me say is truly how I feel and what is an
expression of what is in my heart.
What is that I will,
however, there is a different story. Once to Walla, Walla,
Walla, ank and Hadith, Tala has two different meanings. They can
either mean that once they are no longer talking to you, or even
better. See, sometimes they have these politicians called quote,
once they are done talking to the media, the cameras are no longer
there. But their mic is still on in the show their true colors.
What is that they will learn when they are given authority, which is
what they were learning after that's what they were gravitating
towards. What is that our Allah say? RB. Li You see them here
while you legal Hertha oneness, when they're given that
opportunity to lead sovereignty, Dominion belongs to them at this
point, and power rests in their hand. What do they do? Saf and
odd. They endeavor in their actions on earth, to do what li
you feed them here, so that they spread corruption, where you leak
and health and in the spreading of corruption. Specifically, what
they do is that they corrupt and they destroy crops. When nursing,
offsprings animals, people, young children were hola hola. You
humble facade? Well, wow loves note, corruption, Allahu Allah,
you have been sitting, Allah loves not those who spread corruption.
And all you have to do is just watch what is going on nowadays,
with the DNC and the RNC and how these politicians speak. And
supposedly, unfortunately, and I beg your pardon for what I'm about
to say, say that, you know, our choices are not very good. Our
choices are actually horrific. As one commentator once put it, he
said that our choices as you look at one of these candidates, and
you say, oh no. And then you look at the other candidate, and you
say, Oh, * no. These are the options that people have. This is
it. It's either yes or no or * no.
And sadly, the way that they have, we have seen from them is
precisely what Allah Subhana Allah is telling us about these people.
They impress you with their speech, and most of the time even
their speech is not impressive, at least to those who are listening
to them said that they speak and in their speech, you may be
mesmerized by their eloquence and what it is that they plan to do.
But the minute they get on the minute they have that seat, and
then you see them spreading corruption.
You see them spreading corruption on earth, you see them destroying
natural resources.
If you see them destroying crops, you see them destroy animals and
they're not good news for our planet. They're not good news for
the people.
See in our deen Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam spoke about this
idea of people who are in charge people are in authority
in the hierarchy umara
man to hit Munna Whom were you born? What are some Munna? Allah
him? Warriors? Aluna Alaikum
the best amongst your leaders are those whom you love and they love
you back and you pray for them. And they pray for you. Were in the
shower O'Meara
and the worst leaders to have a loving
you hate them, and they hate you, Bob. What an unknown, well
unknown, and you curse at them, and they curse at you as well.
So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and the Quran speak to
us about the importance of the people who are in leadership
position simply because of their influence, and what it is that
they are able to do. You're gonna interview sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam a hello Jannetty Salah satin on the beach and
he said the Fievel of paradise are of three kind. Hello Jannetty
Salah satin, zu Fulton mocha moccasin upon more Falcon motors
of depot. He said the first one of them are those with authority.
Those will turn mooks however, they have the authority, but they
are just they are fair. They are Mutasa. They because of their
authority. They're also charitable. They give they don't
withhold more fuck i Musa dead, and they are successful that they
continuously make good choices.
One Are you alone? Now that was the first kind and the first guy
was people with authority, who are just and who are fair to the
people, and they are charitable, and they are successful in the
type of choices that they make. And voila Jordan
rafiqul Calbee Rahim on Liko lazy acaba were Muslim. And then he
said that's the second kind of those people. gradually, gradually
local Arabic. Our Raju said that a man man or a woman who are kind
hearted, they are compassionate, especially to their kinship to
those who are close to them. And for every believer, these are kind
people. Allah Subhana Allah said that now paradise belongs to those
who are fair, Paradise belongs to those who are kind and gentle.
Because this idea of gentleness and kindness but then the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, and the people who immediately
feel that your own close family
these are the people who immediately feel that your
gentleness and your kindness and your compassion
what are the results? Well, Alfie Fong Moto, Asif Zhu Uriel said the
third kind of people are those who are angry if they are chaste muda
if they abstain, despite the fact that they have a heavy load of
having children, sometimes having to take care of children under our
feet, until haram will move to our fifth and is to URL. You know,
people who go through difficult financial times when they have
children. There are more incentives either to do that which
is wrong, or to beg because your children are in need. So the
Prophet sallahu alayhi wa sallam said, despite the fact that these
people have this type of difficulty, said they neither were
enticed, nor have they committed haram in order to feed their
children despite the pressure that they're going through. Nor have
they begged people despite the need that they were feeling.
This is somebody that has maintained their self respect. And
this is somebody that has maintained they've trusted as
well. May Allah make us amongst them Europa Alameen
so now the Quran is telling us the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam is teaching us that this idea of leadership is a serious
business. And when people are given the opportunity to have a
say about who
Each, you would think that people are going to jump on the
opportunity. And I get to choose, I actually have candidates, and I
get to choose, do you think that people are going to jump on the
opportunity only to find out that a very few people actually vote?
Not many people do so.
And amazingly, some of us who have come from oppressive regimes where
people did not have any political rights, no freedom of speech,
despite what you see going on, people still don't care.
They've said it so nicely.
If you don't care about politics,
somebody who does not care about you, is going to be in charge of
politics.
If you do not care about politics, somebody who doesn't care about
you, is going to be in charge of the politics that is directly
going to impact you.
Ma'am, been listening to the DNC D Democratic National Convention in
the Republican National Convention, and it was literally
as if these people are not running for the presidency of the United
States. But they are running for the presidency of Israel.
The way that they were begging up, let me tell you what I would do to
the people of Gaza, as if what is happening to the people of Gaza is
not enough that they will hurt him say or they better give back the
hostages before I come in, but oh boy, what will happen if and you'd
be listening to this and you say, the world has gone mad man. The
United Nations just voted today that the West Bank and all the
settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem are illegal. Do you
think that's going to be applicable anywhere? So the point
here is that politics is impacting us. Whether you like it or you
don't and when we have an opportunity to do something about
it. We ought to do so. Finally, minder,
Raju Loon, loose Wilpon. See when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam spoke about the three kinds of people who are going to be in
paradise May Allah make us amongst them era Bella Alameen. The first
one was a person with authority. When the colors describe what does
authority mean? First thing that comes to mind is a person in
political authority, a person who has power and that's part of it.
But they say that authority here is a general term. It could be a
person who's in charge of the company, a person who has any
employees under them. A school principal, a teacher in their
classroom, they are the ones with the authority, a father or a
mother at home, a husband or a wife at home said these are people
with authority over their children, sometimes over their
spouses. So Allah Subhana Allah as the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam taught said in that case, you are required to do three
things, you are to be fair mousset you are to be more successful in
the type of choices, decisions that you make for your family or
those who are under you. And then they say that you have to be most
of them. Somebody who is generous and charitable to the people who
are, they are in charge in charge of. So the point is not to think
of people with great authority as if the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam is not talking about us. Don't think about great political
leadership positions, as if the Quran is not applicable to us.
Each and every one of us, we have an authority or we have a circle
of influence, where the Quran has expectations of us. May Allah
Subhana Allah make us amongst those who meet these expectations.

Now as we look in the world around us, there seems to be a lot of
corruption that is taking place. A lot of senseless killing that is
taking place. And recently, we've been talking about how 30,000
people died in the reserves and maybe 40,000 people have died in
Russia and now the estimates are coming back and they say the
number is much greater than this and the expectations
about 200,000 people died in
May Allah destroyed this dynasty or parliament, will Allah Who May
Allah destroy each and every one of them destroy each and every one
that is supportive of the mural. People sending them bombs, selling
them bombs, people who abstain from these votes, May Allah
destroy each and every single one of them.
Then you look into this and say, Man, that is bad. When you when
you look into our own Muslim world, similar atrocities are
taking place in places like Syria, places like Sudan, and today we're
looking into what's happening in Bangladesh. Last I checked over 50
students, you know, were killed May Allah Subhana Allah bless
their soul shadow, but I mean, you look into this, there is just so
much of this that is that is going on. And we are not to be afraid.
And the further away we are from Allah, the more difficult life
becomes Wallahi the more further away we are from the book of Allah
subhanaw taala, the more difficult life becomes, and that's why the
invitation here is not just read the Quran, but interact with the
Quran. Allah has given us these guidelines to the world. You know,
the Hadith the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would make a
beautiful DUA and he would say Allahumma Arenal Asha, a coma
here. Or Allah has given me the ability to see things as they are,
not what they appear to be.
Yeah, Allah give me the ability to see things as they are, not what
they appear to be.
Because if you are engaged with what things appear to be, you are
not engaging with reality. Your conception of reality is distorted
at that point. So what do you pray for ya, Allah gave me the ability
to see things as they are, not what they appear to be.
And at that point, we are able to engage with reality. May Allah
give us the ability to see things as they are not what they appear
to be some of our brothers and sisters here who are really into
political activism and a way of enticing the community to
participate and take part Shala. This coming Thursday is going to
be July 25, between four and 6pm people are invited to be at Masjid
Salaam for early voting. Just the idea is to there will be bosses
there that will be taking people there is going to be food that is
going to be served. Because unfortunately, you know, the idea
now is to entice people to motivate people so that people can
come together so that people's votes can actually can actually
count.
Last Saturday, we had the forum where we invited the local
candidates who are running for different office, you know, you
want to take notes of the people who showed up. You want to take
note of the people who showed up and you heard what they had to
say. You want to take note of those who accepted the invitation.
And those who decided that this place is not worthy. Yeah, granted
that the excuses were were given, but as as people who are aware,
you want to make notes of these things. When these people came,
what is it that they wanted to do? What is their agenda? What is
their vision? How do they plan to go there, because in our deal, we
are invited wherever we see good, we want to be part of it. Whenever
we see evil, we want to abstain, we want to abstain from it, and
might not have been humble used to say that if I had a guaranteed
dua, that Allah Who will accept my dua, I would reserve that dua for
those who are in authority.
Why?
Because when you are in authority, you have the ability to influence
to do a lot of good. So he said if I am guaranteed a dua that Allah
will answer, I would reserve it for these people because I want
them to do good because when they do good, they spread good for the
for the people. If any of our loved ones or our shells are not
doing well may Allah subhanaw taala ease our pain. If any of us
or our loved ones are not feeling well may Allah Subhana Allah grant
us and them a full and speedy recovery. If any of our loved ones
have passed away, may Allah Subhana Allah bless their souls
