My dear respected brothers and sisters,
we live in a world today that is
constantly
bombarding us with everything
and anything it can to take us away
from the path of Allah
The world as it has been set up
today and this has been in play for
many, many, many, many generations,
is a world that is designed to strip
us
of any identity
that connects us with the 1 who created
us.
Because strength lies in the connection
with the identity of being someone who is
created.
A pure strength is to understand that I
am a creative being.
I am
a person
who did not exist
and now I exist by the will of
the 1 who created the heavens and the
earth. It is he upon who I depend
on for all of my affairs. He is
the final
say in all matters. He is the final
say in every single thing in my life.
That type of person has an inner strength
that cannot be controlled, and
the point of the world as we know
it is to exude
complete control
over human beings.
That is the system that is set up
as we know it. It's for there to
be people who control,
and there's a very small section of them
and then everyone else is controlled.
It is very difficult and they know this.
The people in power, the people who would
like to see us all subjugated,
understand and know that it is very hard
to control a people who see something higher
than them.
They want to be the highest form of
authority.
They want to be the highest form of
need.
If you have something you need, they want
you to come to them. If they if
you have something you want to know, they
want you to ask it from them. If
they if you want to know how to
live your life, they want to be able
to make the rules. They wanna be able
to make the laws even though the rules
and laws they make are made for them
to be broken.
It is master's rules that are made for
the slaves. This has been happening for for
eons,
But this is the system that it is
under today. But they also understand
that people who consider themselves slaves only to
the 1 who created them
are very tough to control
because we have a system that goes above
and beyond everything that they will bring forward.
So how do we,
under this system that is constantly being pushed
harder and harder and hard as muslims
survive
this current environment?
Because this is our strength.
If you grab this concept
and you hold on to it firmly,
you will be a person
who will number 1, see the world for
what it is. Allah
will allow you to see the world for
what it is. There's many terms for it.
You know, some of them have become so
cliche that we don't use them anymore. Being
woke. And that's but that's taking on a
whole another term right now. But for me,
it just means that you have your eyes
open. Not just these 2 that in your
head, the 1 that Allah gave
you as a conscience,
as a farsa, as an ability to see
things as they truly are. Not as they
appear to be. Because what appears to be
today,
oh my goodness, is not what it always
is.
This is also, I think, 1 of the
purposes
behind social media.
You want my honest opinion.
Social media was a social to be a
massive success for those who love control.
Why? Because it has created a world that
doesn't exist.
Social media, the internet,
YouTube,
Instagram, Facebook, Twitter. There's so many of them.
I'm not on most of them a lot
of them because I simply don't too old
to understand how they work.
But they were created to create an illusion
for you. It's a world
that is not real.
You see people living on social media and
you think you know them. They have this
life. They have that life. You don't know
anything. This is such a falsity.
In reality, I could go on social media
and make you think I'm the most rich
and wealthy person that has ever walked the
face of this earth based on my social
media if you never knew me in real
life. It's not reality.
But all of this is designed
to make you live under a system of
complete control and illusion.
Who is going to be the ruler of
this system at 1 point?
This is his system.
This system is being paid for him like
a golden brick road
Because
will rule on confusion.
He will rule on illusion.
And he will have the people in the
palm of his hand.
That is the world we are entering right
now. But how as a Muslim,
how as a believer,
do I
live in this type of world and stay
true
to the fact that I was created to
be an obedient servant to Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala.
A man came to the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam
and I've mentioned this shortly in 1 of
my heart.
He said,
Give me some words about Islam. Give me
some advice
about Islam.
Give me some advice about this religion.
Just give me 1 thing
that is so sufficient,
that is so complete,
that I will never have to ask another
thing.
I want you to give me an advice.
I want you to give me an advice.
Brothers, please move forward. We have quite a
few people waiting to come in and shawarma.
I want you to give me an advice
that is so comprehensive,
that is so magnificent
about this religion
that I'll never have to ask you anything
else ever again.
Now this man,
bless May Allah bless him.
He was looking to try to get some,
you know, long explanation from the 1 of
the greatest things that could be given to
them. Besides Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala revealing something
to them,
speaking to the prophet
speaking to the prophet
getting advice
