While earlier Saburo Salim teslim Kathira and my bad question,

Should we show other people as mostly mean should we show other

people? Unconditional? Unconditional humbleness and

tolerance? What do you guys think? Should we show unconditional

humbleness? And tolerance? Yes. Okay. No, why not?

As Muslim there's certain things we can compromise.

We can people wants to be tolerant like the LGBTQ, you know, we can't

be respectful, we have to say is

very good answer. We should not compromise our values. That's

great. But I'm talking more into this idea of humbleness as a

Muslim should you humble yourself unconditionally? Another answers

any other answers? Yes.

So you should show unconditional humbleness to other Muslims.

Yes. Okay.

need two more answers in sha Allah, or do you guys think yes.

Brilliant answer. He said unconditional humbleness.

Sometimes it's been shown as weakness. And the Prophet

sallallahu sallam said I'll Muslim will kawaii Hiren What a horrible

Allah muslim life the strong Muslim is much higher in status in

the eyes of Allah subhanaw taala over the weak Muslim brilliant

answer. I need one more answer insha Allah Bismillah

you're asking me question I'm asking you the question

the answer my question and then I will get your question at the end.

Yes.

Yes.

Okay.

Great, Allah subhanaw taala says the I'm Shuna out of the house,

which means that we the Muslim one of the qualities, one of the

traits of the Muslim is that he walks on this earth and he has to

show this idea of humbleness which is perfect, as long as that

humbleness is not taken, you know, as a weakness. Brilliant answer.

Yes.

You should never show humbleness against the oppressors. Amazing

answer, Mashallah. Let's see what the Prophet SAW Allah said, and

how did the Prophet sallallahu wasallam actually, you know, teach

the Sahaba his companions Radi Allahu Anhu Huadong.

First and foremost, the Prophet sallahu wa sallam was actually in

the McKeehan period, he went through series of humilation

himself, and the Companions around him. So in Mecca, the Prophet

sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was tortured, and his Sahaba was

tortured. And the Prophet sallallahu Sallam as he was

putting in front of the Kaaba, he was actually being humiliated,

they threw this flesh and on top of his back, and he insulted him,

they put the garbage in front of his door. So these were series of

humiliation.

But at that moment, the Prophet salallahu Salam never showed any

sign of weakness, never showed any sign of humbleness. In fact, he

was standing up for himself, he never put him put his head down.

Even when he went to a thought, when he went to a thought if the

torture continued, and even the sent the children to stone, the

prophets, Allah Azza his feet until he bleeds, while he was

humiliated this way, his head was very high, was up in the sky. He

never put his head down. But he actually was humbled to who to

Allah subhanaw taala. He actually, you know, he had that moment where

he started to complain to Allah subhanaw taala he showed Allah

subhanaw taala his work his weakness, he actually said Yeah,

Allah in the ash goo Elijah, Botha he Letty wobba ko what year Allah

I can play to you, my power less. I don't know what to do at this

moment. He shone accumulation and humbleness towards Allah subhanho

wa taala. And then, in another incident

After the Battle of offered, as the muslimeen, were going back to

El Medina, and they were they lost the battle. And they were putting

their heads down. And Allah subhanaw taala has revealed and if

Allah says in this area will attack him, while at one tomb

alone, it's like in this moment, there is no such thing as actually

showing any form of humbleness. This is the moment where you show

your as your dignity, why because that was actually a weak moment

that the Sahaba went through, they just got you know that that loss

in the battle or hurt, if you would to show humbleness at this

moment, then you're actually weak. So what the Prophet sallallahu

Sallam is teaching us here is what is yes, humbleness and tolerance

are traits of every single Muslim. First and foremost, we all are

humbled towards Allah subhanaw taala Mantova Aileen les Rafa,

whoever humble himself or herself towards Allah, Allah who raises

that person in the status. So first and foremost, we humble

ourselves towards Allah subhanaw taala. But what about the people

here is the more he is the point. When we are in the state of power

less and showing gates and showing humbleness, then that's form of

weakness, then people will walk over you will actually take

advantage of you. But as a Muslim, as a Muslim, can you soon fatten.

The Muslim should be strong and the Muslim should be smart. I will

show humbleness once they have the upper hand. Once I am actually in

a state of power, once I'm actually able to decide and to

make decisions for my own people and from my own self, then yes, I

show humbleness, humbleness with power, then it says its dignity.

Now I'm a Muslim.

Unfortunately, sometimes we we educate our children in a

different manner and Wallahi it's hurting their their self esteem.

It's hurting their confidence. We need our children to be

unapologetic Muslims. We don't want our children to walk in the

camps and feel lower than anybody else. We want our our youth to go

out there and be proud of the faith that they're carrying. Allah

subhanaw taala said well, Corona that the Adam Allah has dignified

the Muslims that human beings the fact that we are carrying quantum

higher on mutton egregious leanness, you are you are supposed

to be the best of the best of the woman of the nation's why because

we are carrying something so precious. We are carrying the

words of Allah subhanaw taala that should be that should be really

nailed within our children's hearts since very young age. My

advice Subhanallah we're just having a talk yesterday. And one

of our youth events and, and just it's very sad to see how sometimes

our youth are beating up themselves, they're putting

themselves down. They're putting themselves down. It's one of the

issues, you know, working with youth for the past, I would say

decade. This is one of the top issues that I've experienced with

our youth. The idea of always putting ourselves down always even

sometimes as an ummah, sometimes as an OMA putting ourselves down,

putting ourselves down, playing sometimes this, you know, playing

the victim sometimes, you know, sometimes just oh, we're just you

know, everybody's against us, you know, this idea of listening to

these l thoughts. That brings us down. Allah subhanaw taala. Again,

he said, Yeah, yeah, you have nests. Yeah, all believers, every

single believer have pride in your deen, that Marula will Maru forth

and how now, these are qualities that you have to have. And if you

have these qualities, then you're you're actually raised that high

in status. So yes, we will never apologize for others just for

being Muslims. We will never be shy putting our feet in the sink

to make will do in the in a mall, or in a campus bathroom just

because we're Muslims, and we should never even show any form of

humiliation.

And we shy away from our faith, we should never do this. So that's a

message for for myself and for for even my children. And for everyone

who will be the light I'll teach our children at very young age

that you are very special because you're carrying the words of Allah

subhanaw taala nothing, nothing else. The fact that you're a

Muslim, you're carrying the result of Allah subhanaw taala

It actually makes you somebody who is dignified in the eyes of Allah

subhanaw taala May Allah subhanaw taala make us so strong as strong

many strong believers strong youth strong families, strong community

strong Omega bulalo mean desert Kamala Kodama Salam aleikum wa
