			Yes. Okay.
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:14

Allah, or do you guys think yes.
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:29
			Brilliant answer. He said
unconditional humbleness.
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:33
			Sometimes it's been shown as
weakness. And the Prophet
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:37
			sallallahu sallam said I'll Muslim

00:01:37 --> 00:01:43

insha Allah Bismillah
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:57
			you're asking me question I'm
asking you the question
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:01

00:02:03 --> 00:02:03
			Yes.
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:05
			Yes.
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:09

00:02:16 --> 00:02:20
			Great, Allah subhanaw taala says
the I'm Shuna out of the house,
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:23
			which means that we the Muslim one
of the qualities, one of the
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:28
			traits of the Muslim is that he
walks on this earth and he has to
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:33
			show this idea of humbleness which
is perfect, as long as that
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:37
			humbleness is not taken, you know,
as a weakness. Brilliant answer.
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:38
			Yes.
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:51
			You should never show humbleness
against the oppressors. Amazing
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:54
			answer, Mashallah. Let's see what
the Prophet SAW Allah said, and
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:58
			how did the Prophet sallallahu
wasallam actually, you know, teach
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:02
			the Sahaba his companions Radi
Allahu Anhu Huadong.
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:07
			First and foremost, the Prophet
sallahu wa sallam was actually in
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:12
			the McKeehan period, he went
through series of humilation
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:18
			himself, and the Companions around
him. So in Mecca, the Prophet
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:21
			sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was
tortured, and his Sahaba was
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:25
			tortured. And the Prophet
sallallahu Sallam as he was
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:29
			putting in front of the Kaaba, he
was actually being humiliated,
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:34
			they threw this flesh and on top
of his back, and he insulted him,
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:39
			they put the garbage in front of
his door. So these were series of
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:40
			humiliation.
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:46
			But at that moment, the Prophet
salallahu Salam never showed any
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:53
			sign of weakness, never showed any
sign of humbleness. In fact, he
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:57
			was standing up for himself, he
never put him put his head down.
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:02
			Even when he went to a thought,
when he went to a thought if the
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:07
			torture continued, and even the
sent the children to stone, the
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:11
			prophets, Allah Azza his feet
until he bleeds, while he was
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:18
			humiliated this way, his head was
very high, was up in the sky. He
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:24
			never put his head down. But he
actually was humbled to who to
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:29
			Allah subhanaw taala. He actually,
you know, he had that moment where
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:34
			he started to complain to Allah
subhanaw taala he showed Allah
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:38
			subhanaw taala his work his
weakness, he actually said Yeah,
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:44
			Allah in the ash goo Elijah, Botha
he Letty wobba ko what year Allah
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:50
			I can play to you, my power less.
I don't know what to do at this
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:56
			moment. He shone accumulation and
humbleness towards Allah subhanho
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:59
			wa taala. And then, in another
incident
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:04
			After the Battle of offered, as
the muslimeen, were going back to
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:09
			El Medina, and they were they lost
the battle. And they were putting
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:14
			their heads down. And Allah
subhanaw taala has revealed and if
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:21
			Allah says in this area will
attack him, while at one tomb
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:27
			alone, it's like in this moment,
there is no such thing as actually
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:32
			showing any form of humbleness.
This is the moment where you show
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:36
			your as your dignity, why because
that was actually a weak moment
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:41
			that the Sahaba went through, they
just got you know that that loss
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:45
			in the battle or hurt, if you
would to show humbleness at this
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:51
			moment, then you're actually weak.
So what the Prophet sallallahu
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:55
			Sallam is teaching us here is what
is yes, humbleness and tolerance
		
00:05:55 --> 00:06:00
			are traits of every single Muslim.
First and foremost, we all are
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:04
			humbled towards Allah subhanaw
taala Mantova Aileen les Rafa,
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:10
			whoever humble himself or herself
towards Allah, Allah who raises
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:13
			that person in the status. So
first and foremost, we humble
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:16
			ourselves towards Allah subhanaw
taala. But what about the people
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:22
			here is the more he is the point.
When we are in the state of power
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:27
			less and showing gates and showing
humbleness, then that's form of
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:31
			weakness, then people will walk
over you will actually take
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:36
			advantage of you. But as a Muslim,
as a Muslim, can you soon fatten.
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:40
			The Muslim should be strong and
the Muslim should be smart. I will
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:45
			show humbleness once they have the
upper hand. Once I am actually in
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:49
			a state of power, once I'm
actually able to decide and to
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:54
			make decisions for my own people
and from my own self, then yes, I
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:59
			show humbleness, humbleness with
power, then it says its dignity.
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:02
			Now I'm a Muslim.
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:07
			Unfortunately, sometimes we we
educate our children in a
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:10
			different manner and Wallahi it's
hurting their their self esteem.
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:15
			It's hurting their confidence. We
need our children to be
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:19
			unapologetic Muslims. We don't
want our children to walk in the
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:25
			camps and feel lower than anybody
else. We want our our youth to go
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:31
			out there and be proud of the
faith that they're carrying. Allah
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:35
			subhanaw taala said well, Corona
that the Adam Allah has dignified
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:40
			the Muslims that human beings the
fact that we are carrying quantum
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:45
			higher on mutton egregious
leanness, you are you are supposed
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:50
			to be the best of the best of the
woman of the nation's why because
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:54
			we are carrying something so
precious. We are carrying the
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:58
			words of Allah subhanaw taala that
should be that should be really
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:03
			nailed within our children's
hearts since very young age. My
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:07
			advice Subhanallah we're just
having a talk yesterday. And one
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:15
			of our youth events and, and just
it's very sad to see how sometimes
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:17
			our youth are beating up
themselves, they're putting
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:21
			themselves down. They're putting
themselves down. It's one of the
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:24
			issues, you know, working with
youth for the past, I would say
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:28
			decade. This is one of the top
issues that I've experienced with
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:34
			our youth. The idea of always
putting ourselves down always even
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:39
			sometimes as an ummah, sometimes
as an OMA putting ourselves down,
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:43
			putting ourselves down, playing
sometimes this, you know, playing
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:49
			the victim sometimes, you know,
sometimes just oh, we're just you
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:52
			know, everybody's against us, you
know, this idea of listening to
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:57
			these l thoughts. That brings us
down. Allah subhanaw taala. Again,
		
00:08:57 --> 00:09:02
			he said, Yeah, yeah, you have
nests. Yeah, all believers, every
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:08
			single believer have pride in your
deen, that Marula will Maru forth
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:11
			and how now, these are qualities
that you have to have. And if you
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:15
			have these qualities, then you're
you're actually raised that high
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:21
			in status. So yes, we will never
apologize for others just for
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:24
			being Muslims. We will never be
shy putting our feet in the sink
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:28
			to make will do in the in a mall,
or in a campus bathroom just
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:32
			because we're Muslims, and we
should never even show any form of
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:33
			humiliation.
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:39
			And we shy away from our faith, we
should never do this. So that's a
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:43
			message for for myself and for for
even my children. And for everyone
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:49
			who will be the light I'll teach
our children at very young age
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:53
			that you are very special because
you're carrying the words of Allah
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:57
			subhanaw taala nothing, nothing
else. The fact that you're a
		
00:09:57 --> 00:10:00
			Muslim, you're carrying the result
of Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:04
			It actually makes you somebody who
is dignified in the eyes of Allah
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:08
			subhanaw taala May Allah subhanaw
taala make us so strong as strong
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:13
			many strong believers strong youth
strong families, strong community
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:16
			strong Omega bulalo mean desert
Kamala Kodama Salam aleikum wa
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:17
			rahmatullah wa barakato.
