Yousef Bakeer – Where Is Allah’s Help For The Palestinians

Paymo salatu salam ala Rasulillah. While early he also he was salam

to Sleeman Kathira, rubbish. Rouhani Saudi was certainly Emery

was a little awkward with Emily Sandy of Kahakai.

One of the very few times where I feel very overwhelmed, to put a

speech together.

And that is, because of the

devastation

of the one of the greatest events that's happening in the world

right now. In the Holy Land of Philistine, we ask Allah subhanaw

taala to alleviate their suffering neuroblastoma.

But I pushed myself and said, you know, you have to put the emotions

on the side. And you have to make logic take over. And that was the

exact advice I gave one of my students who came up to me and had

very sensitive and crucial questions about what's going on,

in the Holy Land of Philistine. He had five questions. And I spoke to

him and I actually took his consent to actually speak about,

you know, the concerns that he had without, you know, or keeping his

name anonymous. But I figured that this is crucial for our community

to be aware that our children, our youth have questions and have

doubts and have concerns about what's going on over there. So

it's not only sensitive over there to the people of Philistia also is

sensitive to our youth here living in the West.

So we had five questions, and hopefully inshallah I can cover

one of his questions and today in tonight's call, and Inshallah, to

Allah, He will have full hotbar on Friday Inshallah, about some of

his concerns.

The first question he had, he told me, that he has a family in

Philistine and

it's unfortunate that his house got demolished, got bombed. And he

lost family members.

May Allah subhanaw taala, accept them era balala mean, and show

them with mercy and every single one who passed away during this?

This, this, this calamity that's happening? Faustina Rabbil

Alameen?

So he said,

he had a very,

very sensitive question. He said, Where is God from everything

that's happening?

Why Allah doesn't help the people follow? See,

he had that question.

That was that was, that was a concern? He said, Where's God

from? From everything that's happening right now? Why Allah

does not support those who are getting killed in a in a daily

basis?

Where is Allah from the annihilation of the people of

Philistine?

I was, was a tough question.

And the danger of this question is actually get you to go further

than this. Eventually, if you have no logical answer, it will

actually lead you to a greater thought that we don't want to

have.

And my answer was, give him three points.

The first point, I told him,

how do you define

Allah's help and support?

How do you define it?

He told me, I define it according to what's happening now. Hospitals

are getting bombed. People are dying. So I don't see support from

Allah.

I told them this is the issue.

Because if you think about the current moment, if you think about

the current moment, then yes, I will agree with your logic. But

it's never about the current moment.

When Bilal Radi Allahu Anhu his meat was cooked in the hot sand of

Mecca.

And Omega was standing right above his head, torturing him. If you

look at this current moment, you would never say that Allah has any

good plans for the Muslims, or Allah has no support for the

Muslims or Allah is not going to help them Muslims. If you look at

the moment, when Amalric NASA was tortured to the point that he was

forced to insult Allah, and he came to the Prophet

And he was crying and he said to the to the Prophet, I'm in big

trouble and the Prophet sallallahu Sallam calmed him down. And he

told them that you're seeing this not very thoroughly, you don't

believe in what you're saying. So if in I do find out if you go back

and they force you to say, just say it, it was really weak state

status of the Muslims at that time, was very weak. And if you

look at the current moment, you would never think that there is

any help or support from Allah subhanaw taala. Fast forward a

little bit. If you look at the hotel, ubia 3d, Alma Katara, the

Allah Allah had the same concern. He looked at the prophet and he

looked at Abu Bakr and you told Abu Bakr What is this treaty all

about?

I don't want to I don't accept this agreement. I don't think it's

fair. I don't think it's even you know, it's actually giving Islam

as

Where's where does it what is that? And he actually was angry.

And he told the prophets Allah Allah Islam, Allah Allah Huck,

aren't we with the truth site? And the Prophet told him yes, we are.

And then he said, Allahu Allah bottom are they in the falsehood

side? The Prophet said, yes, they are.

Then he says, Amen. And then why are we accepting a DNA if he

didn't know why we're being inferior? Where's Allah from this?

And then the Prophet sallallahu Sallam calmed him down Abu Bakr

Siddiq calmed him down. They were visionary the we're seeing the

full picture they were not judging only the current moment. And guess

what happened after this? Fat hamaca the conquest of Mecca. If

you were to ask Billa Radi Allahu Anhu at the moment where he was

tortured. Were we're people after 1500 years, we'll be in Dallas,

Texas, praying salata, Russia and having Cawthra and practicing the

religion that Islam will thrive and grow, that Muslims will be

almost 2 billion people, they will actually spread La ilaha illAllah

Muhammad Rasul Allah round the globe, he wouldn't even be able to

process this. Why? Because it just the moment you're looking only at

the moment, the current moment

if it's a video, and the video started from the torture of Bilal,

and ends today, and you take the first minute of the video, and you

judge the entire status, according to this first minute, for sure,

there is no support of Allah and help of Allah if you only take

that first minute,

but it is beyond this current moment. This is our belief. My

belief is that Allah subhanaw taala will support a volley of

Muslim in Allah subhanaw taala will support them and Allah

subhanaw taala will punish the transgressors. This is the Sunnah

of Allah subhanaw taala as Allah says in the Quran, Len Peggi deli

Sunette Illa heeta de la Allah will not change his sunnah. The

transgressors will pay for the return for the injustice. It's a

fact.

And that leads me to the second point. We don't get to mandate,

Allah support and Allah's help, according to our own terms. We

don't get to tell Allah, where is your support now? I want your

help. Now. I want your help on my own terms. No, you don't get to do

that. We live in Allah's universe. And Allah is more hate because

Alicia, that's a belief that we have, that Allah is in full

control. And Allah is Adam. And Allah is just, Allah is just an

Allah is capable, and Allah is in control. And that's part of our

belief, part of our Arcada. So we don't get to mandate that. Rather,

we turn the mirror to ourselves, and we say, what are we going to

do to help the cause? You see, now it's a shift. Now we're actually

flipping the script. We're not thinking about where Allah was

from all of what's happening rather, what am I doing exactly?

To help that cause? Because guess what, Allah subhanaw taala will

show a way out, but then it will be about ourselves. Did we do

right? During this time or not? This is a moment where you may lay

Lu Li You miss Allahu habito Minato Allah filters people during

those times.

Are you going to be with the side of the transgressors? Even though

they're actually maybe it's

means that they're in power and in control. Or you're going to choose

the hack, even though it seems that it's weak. It's a moment

where Allah filters people. So again, we turn the mirror towards

ourselves. And the last point I told him,

for the victims, for those who lost family members, I told him,

you know, like, mathematically, if you add any value to infinity, it

will equal what? Where's the math guy math guys here, infinity.

If you add temporary pain and temporary struggle, to eternal joy

and happiness and peace and and pleasure of January, Allah

subhanaw taala, it will equal infinity

with the first dip of those children, that they got murdered

during this times the first dip in Jana, they will forget about all

of the pain and all the struggle, and all the crying and all the

separation from their parents in the dunya. The first dip, they

will forget about all of this. And Allah is added, so he will

actually go, you know, following those who transgressed during this

time, they will not get away from this, if it's not from dunya. And

that's our our part to call them out, and to actually speak out,

and to actually educate ourselves about the cause and about the

history of Philistine then in the akhira as well. dunya and akhira

in sha Allah with that. So that was my short answer. To my dear

brother, young brother who came up with this question. We had a long

discussion and I wish that inshallah Allah will be able to

deliver part of it during the hotbar. I asked you and I urge you

to have those discussions with your children. To sum up

everything I said, don't look at the current moment. It's beyond

the current moment, zoom out a little bit and look at the bigger

picture. Muslims where Muslims at now, where we were and where we're

at, that's number one point. Number two point don't mandate

certain thing on Allah because we live in his universe rather, turn

the mirror to yourself. Number three, educate yourself and do

your part about the you know, struggle of our dear brothers and

sisters and full of sin. Allah subhanaw taala alleviate their

pain Rabbil Alameen May Allah subhanaw taala accept those who

got murdered in genital for those who are Abdullah Al Amin, and heal

and give speedy recovery to those who are injured the Camila Grameen
