Salam alaykum. warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu Bismillah Alhamdulillah wa Salatu was Salam ala rasulillah while he was happy he edgy 19 women will early on Dean when I should own La la la de la sharika wash. Mohammed Abu rasuluh I'm a bad director of hiring for all of you attendance here tonight.
With us for our studio audience at home bear with us as today I am doing the broadcasting the producing the lecturing. So if there are some hiccups and some hang ups, no that is my own fault for trying to do too many things at once. And inshallah we will take somebody along with me on these travels coming one of these days in sha Allah. We are broadcasting live from my hometown in Greenville, South Carolina, which is an auspicious occasion for me, because I tell my story all the time, about having accepted Islam in Greenville, South Carolina and I speak about this Masjid very much anybody who's ever seen my story about how I integrate Islam, I mentioned this Masjid because
it is this Masjid in Greenville, South Carolina, that I first heard the truth about Islam sitting right back there, close to where they put the curtain across for when the women would be in the back. And I grew up my entire life on East Lee road. And if any of you know easily road is it's right across the street. And I used to go to this church called Cornerstone right here on this corner. And I used to see this building all the time but never knows a Masjid till a young man who has happened to be a drug dealer who used to come to this Masjid, inviting me to come here and listen to the Juma one by one day. And I'm not going to get into my story because it's very long and
it's not the crux of the topic that we are here for tonight. But if you want to see that it's it's been repeated a number of times in a number of places all over the world and it's all over YouTube and all over my website. But that is when I said hungry la beautiful audience here in Greenville South Carolina for all of our home audience they can see them now so you guys need to smile and wave you're on camera all across the world are hombre de la. These are beautiful machine here in Greenville, South Carolina. Now, the topic of the weekend is the future leaders, the future leaders for not only the Muslim Ummah, but the future leaders of the world, because realistically the
leaders of the Muslim world and the Muslim Ummah are supposed to be the leaders of the world. This is what exactly he meant when he said when he heard Salah rasuna who will hold the deen and hopefully in the hero who Allah Deen equally, that I have sent the messenger with the guidance and the religion of truth, to make it prevail over every other way of life. And there is no apologies about this fact that yes, Islam is meant by the Creator, to be the dominant way of life for his creation. That has nothing to do with our arrogance towards humanity. Because we did not come up with any of this. Did any of you come up with the religion of Islam? No, right? None of us, no
Muslim religion of Islam, not even the hundreds of them came up with a religion of Islam. It's not Mohammed Islam, the religion of Islam, which means submission to the creator was designed by the creator of humanity himself. Therefore, if you created a way of life for humanity, it is therefore the best way of life. Before we say we would like to see Islam be the dominant way of life in the world, that is only according to the wishes of the Creator, for his creation to live a life that he designed for them that would bring peace and security and tranquility to the entirety of humanity. So when we talk about the leaders of the Muslim Ummah, which are these young men and women sitting
around here today, because if they're not going to do it, then I don't know who else is going to do it, because all of us are going to be dead in our graves one of these days, and there is no inshallah, about that, that is for sure that every song will enough sing, the ultimate episode is going to taste death. And the old ones normally go before the young ones, except for other cases that a lot as well has already defined and destined to be.
And I couldn't think of any other way to start off this weekend of talking about the leaders of the Muslim youth. Then to remind all of us, the young and the older like to remind all of us about some of our leaders in the past some of the Muslim youth who put Islam in a position and in a place for it to change the entire face of the world for the rest of time. And if I were to tell you all of the young men and young women to change the face of Islam, I mean, the face of the world with the religion of Islam, during the time of the Prophet alayhi salaatu wa Salaam and after him, how long would I keep you here?
a very long time, you would be here for a very long time because our history is replete with young men and women who stood up for the truth and who stood up for the righteous way of life called Ellis Island and put Islam and put the world in a better place. And I could just start rolling off names for you such as earlier than me.
All the above.
They even
say even who they are, I could just go on and on with young men and women Ayesha, Ayesha.
And many, many repeat with men and women. But there is one young man that I want to speak about tonight, who
his story is one that is just like a gleaming, beautiful example of what it means to take the value of your youth and use it for a righteous purpose. And it is well defined, that the way he did it is is is so beautiful, that our young men and women, I think, need to take a step back and look at the footsteps that they are following in the type of people we are trying to raise our children to be like, we need to really put that clear in their minds, that their role models, and their examples to be taken in this life are not going to be found on any TV set. They're not going to be found in any sports arena. They're not going to be found anywhere walking the streets today. The real idols,
excuse me, the real exemplars, and the real role models that our youth should be taking are the examples of the young men and women who stood fast for the religion of Islam at the time of the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu sallam, and everyone who followed them and their goodness, because any of us today that are trying to be a good Muslim, we are trying to live an example like some of those men and women. And the young men that I'm going to speak to you about tonight is one that is very near and dear to my heart, and
his name is
lucid. His name is Musab
The young man named Amir. And even though his name is well known, amongst the Muslim Ummah, I think his story is one that needs to be told more often. Because there was a young man during the very, very early period when the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was preaching Islam in secret. Very early in the message of Islam. We know the Prophet alayhi salaatu wa sallam was preaching in secret they used to meet in the house of a man named Can anybody tell me this is interactive, you guys at home, you can shout at the TV.
anybody tell me the name of the man whom the Prophet alayhi salatu salam used to meet secretly in his house in Mecca during the very very early stages of his mission.
If I remember the name,
they call it the outcome is the house of Oregon.
They used to meet in a place called Bella often which was a man who was a believer in Islam, who allowed his home to be used by the prophet alayhi salaatu wa Salaam to meet the believers. Worship Allah subhanho wa Taala and for him to teach the deen of Islam. And if anybody wanted to know about Islam, they will be brought to this house, they will be brought to this house and meet the Messenger of Allah sallallahu Sallam in person. Because the public preaching had not begun. The public declaration of Islam was still was still not happening. There was a young man named Mr. Mayor, Musab Avenue Mayor grew up in a life of luxury. His mother, his mother was a woman of wealth and
affluence, which was a very rare thing in American society. Women did not hold prominent positions in American society. They were more or less property unless they had some high Reiko status. They were the property to be bought and sold and treated as property that the mother of massage was very wealthy, and she was very affluent amongst the leading tribesmen of Mecca. And she spoiled her son Mossad beyond belief. Mousavi Romero grew up in a life of decadence. He had whatever he wanted, he was given everything his heart could desire. Not only this, but Allah had given him at birth, an immense beauty. He was a very handsome man, beautiful man. It is stated above that he was so
handsome that when he would leave his home, women would lie in the streets, trying to make Mossad catch a glimpse of them and to catch his attention. Because they say if you can, you know, as they say today, if you can.
You've made it. You've made it. He was the celebrity of the day. He was a celebrity of his day amongst the napkins. And Mr. Deputy Mayor started to hear rumors going around about a man named Mohammed whom everyone knew to be a trustworthy and honest man. But now we're starting to hear the rumors that he is gone crazy. He is a madman, he is a magician. And he started to hear these rumors come to his mind. And this is a boy that Think about it. This time he was roughly maybe 1213 years old and I'm being estimated because a difference of opinion too.
13 years old, young boy. When he heard these rumors, he said to himself, that I need to go and hear this man for myself because I hope people haven't heard about Muhammad stay away from him not listened to him, this is another I'm gonna go listen to the man myself. So he found out that the Prophet alayhi salaatu wa Salaam was meeting people in the open. So he went one night, and sat in front of the messenger, but most of them know how to sell them and ask them tell me about Islam. I want to hear from your mouth, when people have been saying about you. And he started to present to him the beautiful message of Islam, that the beautiful message of Islam is to worship your Creator
Allah alone without a partner, to stay away from either worship, to put everyone back a proper perspective to respect the children to respect the poor, that the rich do not observe the rights and all of these beautiful teachings about Islam that were the very beginning, which we know the beginning teachings of Islam, were about Allah subhanho wa Taala, his oneness, the blessings of gender for those who accept that and obey it, and the punishment of Nara for those who reject it was
finished hearing the Prophet alayhi salaatu wa sallam speak, and the only response he had to him was he said to him, I shadow
the law. Why shall
I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except the law, and they realize that you are indeed the Messenger of Allah, and the Prophet alayhi salaatu wa sallam knew who he was. Everybody knew who he was, he also knew who his mother was. And he knew that his mother was one of the most wicked towards him with her tongue. So he told Mossad, do not tell your mother about what you have done tonight. Don't tell anybody about what you've done.
Don't tell anybody what you've done tonight. The Elders of us are being persecuted and tortured, do not tell anyone about what you have done. So he decided to hold it as a secret. But every night he was going to meet the prophet and he sat there.
And finally, some people spotted him the puppet lotze.
They're looking for all the celebrities running around
the scene going to the outcome on occasion back and forth, back and forth. And he was also written this playing with him. So someone told Masada Nunez mother, your son has become a Muslim. And that is the most dirty, filthy word at the time. A Muslim is the most beautiful the word just like it has become one today. Your son has become one of the Muslims. And his mother approached him about it and confronted him and Mossad did not hold his tongue. He said yes, I have accepted the religion of Islam. And I bear witness to the oneness of Allah and the messenger ship of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and his mother lost it. His mother lost it with him. And she told him and tried to
plead with him to go back and he told her there's nothing you can tell me there's going to take me back away from this religion. My heart is firmly attached to it. So her recourse was to change him in the home. She couldn't prevent him. He said, you get the victory for going to see Muhammad Sallallahu wasallam. She said, I'll show you. She chained them to the wall in her home and put guards over him. Do not let him leave. If she couldn't keep him from accepting the religion of Islam. She was gonna keep him away from Muhammad Sallallahu wasallam. So she chained them to the home and massaged women who lived in this condition until he heard the rumors about Muslims who had
immigrated to the city and
immigrated to the city. And what he did when he heard that there were Muslims who immigrated to Abyssinia was he tricked his mother and the gods to let him go, you know, telling them okay, you know, this whole thing is overwhelmed. You know, I've gotten it out of my system, just let me go in you know, okay and find out so they released him. The moment they released him, he left for other city, he escaped, he left with his deal. He took his deal and he escaped the city in the city, taking nothing with him, living a life of decadence, living a life of decadence, having everything that his heart could desire. As a young man 13 years old, he decided to leave all of that and secure
his religion by migrating to understanding by himself. And he left and went to another city and stayed there.
When he was an avid Cydia,
the things were taking place in Makoto the time was getting rougher and rougher and rougher. And we know that there was a point where the the
the order came to outcast all the Muslims, the outcast all the believers together along with Avatar who supported them and set them outside of the city. And there was a rumor
that the religion of Islam had become spread and dominant that everything was okay now, people are accepting Islam in droves. The rumors spread to other cities. And there were some Muslims who returned and methodically never returned with them, because he wanted to see this for himself and he wished nothing more than to be in the company of the Prophet alayhi salatu salam. Upon returning to Mecca, he realized that the condition was not as it was, it was actually worse than it ever been. And besides, his mother caught him. She caught him and told him again that she would lock him in a house and never allow him to go. At this point, Mossad had become deeply attached to the deen of
Allah Islam. He told his mother he said by Allah if any of you tried to put your hands on me to keep me from this
deem that he will either be my life or your life. That's it, it's going to be my life or your life. And so his mother saw the sensivity inside of him and realized she had lost her son. So she allowed him to go back to Abyssinia. And she cried over him, and he left his mother again and went to another city. You
know, at this time, there was some things on the horizon taking place. I'm not sure if he initially about the other city, but at this time when he come back to Mecca, there was something very unique that was happening. There was a delegation that had come from the airstrip, which is now known as El Medina, is the city of the Prophet. There is some immigrants who are the people that come from left to hear from the Prophet alayhi salaatu wa Salaam, and how many of them met him on the first occasion? and October? Are you remember? How many was it? The first pledge of Africa?
How many people from
1313 was a handful? between six and 13 people, there's a difference of opinion, some say six, which is a weighty opinion. 13. But it was only a handful of people met the Prophet alayhi salatu salam in Africa, and accepted Islam under his hands. And then they requested either the Prophet alayhi salatu salam come back with us now. It will send some love with us, send someone with us to teach the Dean of medicine and the Prophet alayhi salatu salam at this point, he could not go, he could not go because he was waiting for the decree of Allah to come. And he was not going to leave Makkah. So he had to choose someone to send with this delegation, a handful of people, three or three to teach
them the original plan. And think about it. The most eminent companions that accepted Islam at this time of the Walker was a Muslim
is a Muslim.
He's adopted son Zayed was a Muslim. They were imminent, imminent companions. Some of the scholars of Islam were Muslim at this time. When the Prophet alayhi salatu salam decided who to choose. He chose a young man named Messiah,
a teenage boy, he sent me a teenage boy, he told me to go and become his mouthpiece in the city. And this is not like today where you could call Messiah now you know, okay, today you're gonna teach them this and that, you know, there was no email, teleconference or Skype, there was none of this going on. It had to be someone he trusted to teach the Dean of a law as written to a new city and maybe a new opening place for him. So he chose a teenage boy named Masada.
And he sent him with them to now.
Masada, the mayor began to teach the dean about Islam. And people started into them, one by one by one, and then few, by few by few.
And through the little man through his leadership, and you have to remember this is still a teenage boy. He's still a high school age at this time.
There are some very eminent names that come into play, who accepted Islam, not the hands of the Prophet alayhi salatu salam, but at the hands of Musa Can anybody give me one name of one of the eminent companions who accepted Islam under the hands of masabi. When
I think of one, I can give you the first name aside.
South
Southern vibe was the leader of the tribe of ours, with the biggest tribes in Medina, Southern was the leader. And we said even more I've heard about Messiah, coming to preach this new religion, and to split up family and tribe and culture will tend to do when he met in suburban America.
We intend to have a conversation with him. No, he came with his spirit, his hand, ready to kill him and said bye
for causing this fitna in our city. And we decided we might say to him, he told him, I mean,
he said, Yes, sir. You're a matter of intelligence. Look at the hitmen behind this. He said, Yes. You're a man of intelligence. You did a great tribe. Why don't you just sit down and listen to me? If what I have to say is appealing to you, then you can decide whether to accept it or not. And if what I say is displeasing to you, then you can take it and leaving and there will be no harm between your eye. But you should at least have the intelligence to an intelligent man to sit down and listen. So his his part came into play a little bit. He said, Okay, I'm an intelligent man. For me to kill a man without even listening to him put me a little bit of a barbarian. So he said, I'll sit
down and listen to him. So he said that I listened to
the mayor. And I presented to him the beautiful message of Allah Islam. And before he could even finish getting all of what he wanted to say out, said in what I've told him, I said,
there is no God we worship Allah and Muhammad is indeed His Messenger
and inside him
went back and he gave it to his tribe and got most of the tribe of us into Islam. Now there is another another warring tribe without the other major tribe and yesterday was the tribal president. Anybody know the name of the leader of
anybody?
homework, homework homework,
you know?
If I remember,
I'll let you think about and then we'll come back. The leader of the hazard strike because I want to give you everything is up to us. You're usually thinking a little bit at home, you can scream and yell at the TV, I might be able to hear you, the middle of the husband's tribe. He said to himself when he heard that somebody accepted Islam, if he is good enough to set Islam, what is what is to keep me from being accepted? Why is he any better than me that he can be part of this and I can't be a part of it. So he went to Masai Mara and accepted Islam in a competition manner first, with the intent of competing but if he's listening, that he's no better than I. So he accepted Islam and
Islam entered into his heart. And he bought the majority of hardware try begin to come into Islam, and then the entire city became become in droves, to the deen of Allah Islam. There was another young man that accepted Islam under the hands of Masada mayor, his name is even who they are, who said even who they are, we're going to speak about him in just a moment. But I want you to go back and think of the context. This is a young man, high school age, the same age most of our children are in high school. And this young man has become the mouthpiece of the Prophet and Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in a new city, a city that will become the resting place, the
resting place for the beginning of the entry and to slam into that entire world.
A young boy teenage boy, now this Saturday, we'll add the intro to Islam, through the hands of myself in the mirror, I want to show you the quality that our youth can bring the types of things that they can bring for this Deen
that started into Islam. How did he
meet his death? Does anybody remember? How did saw the light in his life?
in his life during the Battle of conduct, the Battle of the Battle of the trench, the trench was the skirmishes that took place. Now, he was wounded to the point of mortal wounds, he was bleeding out he was dying. And as he was dying, we know that he gave the opinion on the the tribe of Jews that that
betrayed the covenant they had with the Prophet alayhi salatu salam, but the real thing that I want you to grasp is this man
who took Islam from the Tao of Messiah.
When he died, when he breathed his last breath, the Messenger of Allah sallallahu Sallam began to weep and he said something, does anybody know what the prophet alayhi salatu salam said Upon the death of Southern wide.
He said to be, the throne of the law has written shook at the death of Saddam, that allowed so much of society that Allah as much as thrown shook at the death of sad that these are the type of qualities that our young men and women can present for the Dean of and Islam in the world. Now there is another young men who say even holier, how many of you know who is
anybody out there, he is famous for his guilt. The Prophet sallallahu Sallam said that the angels used to come and sit around a stadium for the whole day to listen to him recite the book of Allah as Magellan because his voice was so beautiful, and the companion giusta love to listen to his recitation. This is another product of the Tao of massage.
Now, you may change the entire face of the globe as we know it, because it is upon the messenger ship of Muhammad Sallallahu sallam, but it is the prophets of wisdom and hekla to send this young boy to Medina, that will become the fertile ground for his hedra that will become the resting place of the most beautiful model of a society that can ever be achieved on the face of the globe.
Now this boy will remain.
A few years have passed, and we took place and all of it took place and all of the battles of Islam.
He took place in the village
and he also took place part in the Battle of ahead and then the Battle of odd Misaki when the mayor was given a very special position on that day.
Remember
he was told to hold something
To the flag, the flag on the on the bottle. And the flag holder is a very prominent and special position, very prominent, special position only given to endearing beautiful people. And masafumi was told to hold this flag. You didn't drop it for anything. Normally, excuse me, let the flag goes if you, King. And we all know the fitna that took place in the Battle of airhead. When the archers left their position, they left their position and
around and cause the chaos and a fitna and this fitna became so great, that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu wasallam, his beautiful face was damaged and his teeth broken, and his jaw split open to the point where they thought they'd killed them. And the word then began to go out that we have killed Muhammad Sallallahu wasallam. And when that really began to spread, you started to see the hearts begin to weaken even amongst the Muslim, some of them began to just sit down, out of out of just complete,
unknown of what to do next complete, complete loss at words, they just sat down. But
remember that his job was to stand here and to present this flag of law until there was no one else to be standing here. And when people came to him, and told him, what are you doing fighting people are running away? Don't you know that Mohammed
has been killed.
And he said something beautiful. And this is before this verse was revealed. He said Mohammed is nothing but a messenger.
And the messengers have passed away before him.
He kept reminding others and reminding himself that Mohammed is nothing but a messenger. And the messengers have passed away before him. We don't fight for Mohammed's of the Lord, he was sending him. We are defending the dean in the religion of allies widget, and he started to invade the opposite room. He's not dead, he's still here. So Masada may have decided to become an attention point, that if I can draw enough attention to me, then maybe I can divert attention away from the Prophet and Messenger of Allah sallallahu wasallam. And he can he can, he can be safe. So he started to fight with people flamboyantly causing them to look, fight with me, fight with me, he didn't have
any weapons. This man is standing here with a stick with a flag on the end of it, fight with me fight with me, until someone came and chopped off the arm that was holding the flag. And like hit the ground. Now, for most of us,
your own goals. You're going to match it, I've done my work. That's it. The flies are in my hand, my hand got chopped off, I'm going home, we would have been done. Probably I'm done. That's it. I put in my two sets. But Masada gonna mail, the flag is the other hand and began attracting attention to himself again, all the time we're starting to himself. Mohammed is nothing but a messenger and the messengers have passed away before him until someone came and chopped off the other hand, there was holding the flight. Now, for those of us who would have stuck it out through the first hand being gone, for sure in the second hand is gone. You're free. You've done your job, your job is the holder
flag. Your arms are gone. I think it would be okay for you to sit down and sit this one out. Nobody would blame you if you take this and set it out. But massaged a little bit down to the stubs of what was left of his arms, squeeze the flag towards his chest and began to cause attention to himself again, so that he could defend not only the deen of Allah azza wa jal, but also the person whom he loved most in this life who was Mohammed Salah it was sending him until so many people attacked him and killed him and stabbed him that he had over 70 stabbing puncture wounds on him. And he felt that now after the battle level had finished, when the Muslims had retreated up to the hills, which if
any of you've been to Medina, you know, right behind the small mountain up ahead. There's a bunch of big hills and they retreated up into those hills, when they came back down, to give the dignity and respect to the issue that the models. The Prophet alayhi salatu salam was looking for one person. He was looking for two people actually, he wanted to know what happened to Hamza and he wanted everyone to know what was inside them. Because the Prophet alayhi salatu salam had immense love for Mossad.
He said that when they found out the middle layer,
he had been trampled, stabbed, beaten, he was barely recognizable, the beautiful face. They used to attract the attention of everyone who walked by was almost unrecognizable. And they said that his the flag that he was designed to hold was between his teeth, was between his teeth. He never let it go, not even in depth. And when the Prophet alayhi salatu salam, salam wa Sabu met in this condition, he began to weep immensely, with immensely because you have to understand this Messiah.
He is a man who lived a life of decadence and luxurious lavishness and as a young boy, he sacrificed it all solely for the sake of the pleasure of Allah subhanho wa Taala and the love of the Messenger of Allah. And that's the
young boy was chosen to become the mouthpiece of the Prophet Elisa to send the dean who brought the entire city almost to the region of Al Islam. So that the Prophet alayhi salaatu wa Salaam was able to make his intro and establish a moral community that we still are trying to reenact until this day.
The same was added in.
One time he came in, he sat in a circle of the companions, and the companions who knew him from Mecca Mahajan.
When they saw him, they began to cry. And the reason they began to cry because they
grew up in a life of luxury and decadence. And they saw him he was wearing the most roughs of clothing that would cause soldiers and scars on his shoulders. He was the most poor that you can imagine with skin infections, he just was miserable on the outside appearance. And they said, this is the same as we used to know living this life of decadence. This, this, this celebrity of Makkah, is now the most polar and the most weak and the most humble of us. But we see that his body may have become weak, but his heart was very strong. When the Prophet alayhi salatu salam found him he began to weep. thinking to himself, Yama said, What have you done to yourself? What have you done to
yourself, he did not stop at giving up his life of luxury, luxury and decadence. That wasn't enough for him. Migrating isn't enough for him, establishing the city of Medina wasn't enough for him taking place in the weather wasn't enough for him. It was not enough
to give just everything he had in this life, the only two things that he had left in this life, his body and his soul, that had to be given to for him to receive satisfaction.
And when the Prophet alayhi salatu salam told the companions to go to his home and bring his property, because inheritance was something that was done right away. And also, they went to go get his coffin, because the Sahaba know and it was known of them, that each of them would keep their calf and you know, the coffin, the thing you up, you're suffering when you die, they kept on with them at all times. This is how real death was to them. They kept the coffin with them at all times, because they knew death was a reality. They said, Go get it. So when they went to massage house, they brought back his property. Do you know what it consisted of?
A consisted of a bowl, to be able to make a pitcher to pour the water in and half of a coffin half
and the possibilities are to slam begin to cry again until his beard was wet with his tears. Because he's realizing to himself that Yeah, Musab you gain so much for the sake of the job, they didn't even leave enough to prepare your own death. So he told them to wrap his head, because you start with his head, his feet will stick up. This is how much of a company he didn't have enough cloth to buy, when they would love to see this head would stick up. So the Prophet alayhi salaatu wa Salaam said, wrapped his head and covered his feet with lemon grass, and then they buried him. And he's still buried right there today, you can go to the city of Medina, you can go to the mountain of our
hood. And there's a little fence that blocks off the, the graveyard of the Shahada. And you know that inside the widow made, his body was made right there. But we as Muslims know where his soul is, it's left that ground a long time ago. His soul is resting in general wherever it wishes to go inside one of the green birds of the Shahada.
And I just want all of us to grasp that in the context, that it was one young man who accepted Islam at the ripe age of 12 or 13 years old, who brought the entire city of Medina into Islam when he was a high school age boy, and who gave everything for the sake of the law before he was 20 years old. And we change the face of the earth forever.
Under the guidance of Allah Subhana Allah to Allah, and according to the son of the Prophet Alayhi, Salat was and he changed Islam. He changed the world, for the deen of Islam forever. And for us to be sitting around thinking that our young men and women are too young to accomplish anything real.
The young men and women that I talk to all over the globe, tell me that the biggest complaint is that no one takes them seriously. When they want to help in the massage it takes them seriously. They tell them Oh, go play basketball will play football, you know, have fun enjoy yourself. And some of these young men and women really have an intent to work for the Dean of a law
that says you know, don't worry about that now you're a young man you know you have plenty of time. You know, when you get older you know you can be a board member of the mustard You know, when you when you get you know, too old to do anything else and then you can sit around and you know, fiddle about politics and the Masters. There's not time for that now go and enjoy your life.
If we're not taking advantage of these youth right now.
are
we wasting away the most precious years of their life? We're wasting away the most precious years of their life. Because the Prophet alayhi salaatu wa Salaam, if I have the time which I'm done, and I'm not going to spend too long because I know it's almost time for a shot. I can go over and over and over and over with you how the Prophet alayhi salatu Islam understood the value of youth, how he understood the value of youth and stressed upon it and reminded us of it, as I said,
Take advantage of five things before five things and one of them was take advantage of Chavez Coca Cola kubla hedonic. Take advantage of your youth before your old age before you discrepancy. Also, the prophet alayhi salaatu wa sallam said there will be seven people that will be shaded in the throne of virgin on the Day of Judgment. One of them is Shaban. Nasha afifi by the OB, the young man who's grown, the young one who grows up in the worship of the loss of planner with the honor and all of these authentic narrations. Also, the prophet alayhi salaatu wa Salaam said that Allah laughs in a manner that befits His Majesty, a lot laughs at a young man
at a young man who is attached to the religion of Allah subhanho wa Taala. That is something that pleases a lot to see the youth being used for the deen of Allah subhanho wa Taala Ireland. And the youth have a big, big, big role to play. They're not weak, they're not too young. They're not decrepit. Actually the Prophet alayhi salatu salam, when he was going to the Battle of I think it was the book, there were some companions who were complaining about the people who were dragging behind, you know, the old ones, and the sickly ones that wanted to help. But you know, you know, they made a little bit more of a problem for some people than a solution. They were holding
everybody back, the profit results of them complained, I mean, he complained to the Prophet about them. And the Prophet said, the law, how do you send them turned around and tell the man, this oma will be victorious by the virtue of its weak, this unknown will be victorious by the virtue of this week with their
three things, the three qualities
be the it was the law,
by the virtue of the brought along, by the virtue of the sort to the law, and the virtue of their sincerity towards Allah allow members on the victorious by the virtue of them.
We have to learn to value these young men and women, because we're lucky they can do much more than us old guys and old girls can do. Because they have been raised in a world that is unlike a world that we were raised in. They have opportunities that we could have never imagined. They have the access to information. They have the knowledge, they have the energy, they have the aptitude. If we push them in the right direction, we're lucky they can do more in one year than we were able to accomplish in the past 15 years for the religion of Islam. I'm telling you, I've seen it with my own two eyes. When the Prophet alayhi salatu salam had the Choose positions for leadership 90% of the
time, it was someone who is a teenager, or will early in their 20s 90% of the time it was a youth, we put in charge of the most important things, the last army that we collected to go out and check the threat that was coming from the region and Roman and Persian Empire. He established the Army during his last sickness, who is the leader?
Osama bin Zayed, Solomon's eight How old was he?
17 or 16 years old. He put him in charge of people like abubaker in charge of people like me, in charge of people that are in charge of people.
In charge of the most eminent companions, they have to listen and obey Him. And there was some people complained, or some was too young. He's inexperienced. How could the Prophet a sought to sell and put him as a leader instead of the recipient saying, Look, you're compiling these these losted he's going crazy. The sickness is driving him mad to put a bow as leader in front of you. When the popular Serato slam heard this, he got up out of his sickness out of his bed, walked into his number. And he said
there is no one on this earth that is better
than Osama except for one person who was it?
He said there's no one on this earth of Osama then his father and his father.
They didn't say even harder. He said there's no one on this earth for that position, solidifying the 17 year old boy in charge, and I knew what I was doing, and I have a reason for doing it. And what happened was that army went out.
After the death of the Prophet alayhi salatu salam, Abu Bakar also discharged this army and they brought back a huge success for the religion of Allah Islam.
So we have to have to look around at these youth and realize that they can do something that we cannot even begin to imagine to do. If you see your youth, if you see your children, your sons and your daughters taken an inclination towards wanting to be helpful for the deen of Allah subhanho wa Taala. Please don't stop that out because you want them to get a PhD. Please don't stop that out because you want them to get a high paying job, BMW, or Adele or whatever it is, please don't stop that out. Because with that stopping out, what we're having is we're producing a generation of Muslims, who have loving affection towards the religion, but they have no attachment to know how to
do anything with it. They don't have any attachment to do anything with it. And eventually these massages will begin to dwindling numbers and dwindling numbers that it is no one left to inhabit them. Our children,
unfortunately, are being misled in many directions. And one of the biggest complaints that we as Muslims get, especially any Muslim who is in a public arena, one of the biggest complaints we get is the radicalization of the Muslim youth. Have you heard about this issue? What is his name? representative,
Peter King, something like that. When I represent
King peter king, he spoke about it in length in his home Islamophobia, Congress session about the radicalization of the Muslim youth, the radicalization of the Muslim youth. And when I was asked about this, on many platforms, I said, I have to say,
number one, he was not totally wrong. It was utterly wrong, the effect the affections of our youth are being misguided. That's actually being misguided. I said that you know, what? I love the attitude that I see in them, even the ones who go astray.
I'm going to tell you why I love it. And I'm very clear about this. Because those youth that have become radicalized, and in lately we've seen, you know, an issue of it here in America, like the three boys who left from Virginia, and went to Pakistan, you guys remember that whole issue. I knew those three boys Personally, I needed to boost Personally, I used to go and give lectures them a set machine next to them. And they were they were the neighbors to shut use of estus. So I was with one of them on the day before the left.
Now, I said I love something that I see in them. I know for one thing is for sure. They love the loss of Hannah home with Donna. I know for sure they love a lot. And I know for sure they love their religion. But someone has taken that love and twisted it. Someone along the line took that love and twisted it to a very Maleficent type of understanding and led them down this path. But we still love our Lord, His Messenger and his religion. I said Think about this, if they're willing to go all these extents. To all of these extends just for the love of Allah and the Messenger of Allah and the religion of Allah Islam. What could we have done, if someone had caught them a little bit earlier,
and put them on the right path and put them on the right understanding of the runes and a virus lamp and gave them the tools and opportunity to be of a benefit for the Muslims have a benefit to the non Muslims? What could they have done for this religion, those three young boys, if they are willing to go that far, for the love of Allah, His Messenger, if you have caught them a little bit earlier, they could be helping, they could probably doing what I'm doing right now on a bigger scale because they had more youth exuberance, and there's no numbers of them to be able to do what I'm doing, we have to see and understand that, that if we don't put our youth on the right track now, we'll put
our youth on the right track now. Thinking that you're going to put them back on the right track leader is a far fetched dream that you have. One of the number one complaints I get all over the world is parents who call me on a weekly and sometimes daily basis to tell me to talk to their children who have left the religion of Allah subhanho wa Taala. If I counted, if I had $1 for every phone calls, that I would not need to do anything for this TV station, I would have been paying 1000 people to do all the work all over the world, how many calls I get from parents whose children I want you to talk to my daughter, talk to my son, they've left the religion of Allah, they've married
this person and they've gone they've turned to Christian or Hindu or Buddhist or whatever have you. And you know, the stark reality that I have to tell most of those parents. The stark reality they have to tell the most of those parents is that there is nothing I can do for you. There is nothing I can do for you. And I'm going to tell you why.
And I tell them because if you think that by my five minute conversation with your child, that it can undo. Just my conversation alone can undo the 20 or 25 or 30 years that you have been corrupting them, taking them away from the religion of Islam with either your mouth or with your actions.
which had to happen, then you have really misunderstood me. Because I can't wave a magic wand, I have no special powers, may
Allah, Allah guides cannot be misguided. Homer Rama leaves a stray can never be guided back except by Allah. I said number one thing I should tell you is that you could have stopped this a long time ago, the warning signs when they first popped up, and you know, when they first popped up probably years ago, you could have put an end to it right then and push them towards the Dean of the law as a surgeon. But for whatever reason you didn't have for whatever reason, you didn't want to do it. And now this is the reap the repercussions of those actions will lie. I'm telling all of you young men and women right now, the most beloved thing in this world, to me, is this religion of Islam, the
fact that I was able to walk into this Masjid 13 years ago, misguided, not knowing where to go or who to turn to, again, the most valuable thing that I would ever obtain in my entire life right here in this building. And it is what has allowed me to accomplish anything that I've been allowed to accomplish is the fact that this building is here. And the fact that there were eight people here who were willing to just clearly share the message of Islam simply with me. And for the parents here, your sons and daughters, their sons and daughters, do not, do not allow yourself to be one of those people who are going to be calling somebody like me, asking them to help your children when
they leave the Dean vallisneria. Because the reality is that it's in your hands right now. It is in your hands right now. Because truly guidance is in the hands of a lot. But for sure, the facilitation upon that guidance is up to the job of the parents of those men and women of those sons and daughters. We have to take accountability and responsibility for our children, you cannot just drop them off on the masjid on Sundays, and think that that's going to be enough, they go to a three hour Sunday school and they're gonna be good Muslims, you can't just drop them off in Islamic school. And yes, I hear you're trying to raise money for an Islamic school here, what you need an
Islamic school should have been done a long time ago. But don't think that that's the end of the end of the road for putting your children on a righteous path. Because if you're not living the example of what you want your children to be when you grow up, then they're not going to be any better. Because no matter what you teach your children, psychologically, this is the way a lot
of our children are going to read, repeat, and take as part of your character, exactly how they see us act, they are going to do what you do more than what you say. And any of you that have young children know this. Very few things, you have to teach your children early as they pick it up just by watching you, the good and the bad.
And this is just the way Allah has designed us. So we as parents need to be the living example for our children. And then we need to tell them to not only strive to be like me, strive to be better than me, and then raise your children to be better than you. Because if we continue to do this generation after generation, we will see a world where Islam is back in the proper place that it deserves. Not because of any wars, not because of any Arab Spring of this spring of that uprising. No, because there are people whom Allah azza wa jal has favor upon the people whom Allah looks at the earth again, and is pleased with because I don't care how hard and I finished with this last
final point. I don't care how hard we try to assume leadership of the world through the efforts of our hands and the efforts of our tongues.
Allah as Virgil is in control of the condition of all people. And Allah subhanho wa Taala removed us from the position of leadership and authority A long time ago, he removed us, because we were not fit for it anymore. And I'm guaranteeing you on one fact, that leadership will not be presented before this, again, until a time that we are ready for it. And anything that comes to us before that, we will not be fit for it. And we will only do detrimental harm because of it. We only do detrimental harm because of it.
Being very stark with all of you right now, with your youth and with your children and all of you at home that I've heard a big, you know,
a big talk around the world to you know, reestablish the philosopher was established. We lost that almost 100 years ago and lost along with it. And people say let's reestablish the killer. I said, Okay, that's Yes, we need to do this. But that's not the beginning of the story. That's the end of the story. The beginning of the story is we should be making the laws the job to make us fit for leadership. And we need to ask a lot do not give us leadership until we fit for it. Because leadership is given to someone who is not fit for it only becomes a burden for his own destruction. And we'll learn if we were given control of the world right now. All of you can agree with me that
we would do a lot of damage. We can barely run our massages without being ready to kill each other beings.
The Pakistani master can
Get along with our administrator can't get along with somebody, my student. We know what the problems that are plaguing the Muslim Ummah, right now, we cannot even lead our own communities to any goodness. We're not ready for the world yet. But we need to be preparing these young men and women to take leadership positions in the world, not just leadership positions in leadership positions in the world. That means yes, push them towards the Dean of a law as well as push them towards that PhD degree. Yes, push them towards that it degree, yes, push them into positions that will put them within the realms to be able to change the face of original, that never let them
sacrifice their religion for it. Never allow them to sacrifice the religion of Allah subhanho wa Taala for even one penny of any sustenance in this life, because you will only be feeding them fire for the next life. And the worst regret we're going to have as parents, is if we allow our children to go astray. And we stand in front of a lot on the day of judgment and the question about this condition, and we have no answer for it. And we have no answer to give to our children for our paths that we lead them upon. We have a big responsibility towards these youth and young men and women here. Never let nobody never let anyone tell you that you're too young to do something. Unless it's
something like drive a car, something like that. Yeah, those are things you can do. We don't want any of your doing that. But when it comes to things that you can do for Allah, there is no age limit upon it. There is no age limit upon when you can be a good Muslim. There is no age restrictions upon when you can help serve the deen of Allah subhanho wa Taala by passing on the message of Islam to someone else, to helping in the masjid, to learning the Quran, to learning the book of Allah to learning the son of the Prophet Alayhi salat wa salam, there's no age limit upon these things, do it to the best of your ability. And if anybody has a problem with it, you tell him to see me. And I'll
put them in their place. Because for sure, parents, we have a big responsibility. We have a big responsibility. I'm a father of three. And as I said today in today's Habiba, I want my sons and daughters to grow up in a world where they don't have to be ashamed to be a Muslim, to they don't have to be ashamed to go to school and tell their friends, I'm a Muslim, whether I have to be ashamed to pray in public, or the sisters don't have to be ashamed to put that on, and go in the streets and feel that something's going to happen to them. They can't leave the house at night, because of the way they're dressed. And they're afraid that someone may attack them. This is not,
this is not the way the Prophet alayhi salatu salam wish things, he said there will come a time where a woman could go from
a sham
for no one but Allah subhanho wa Taala. And that time came and went, and it will come again. And we're wishing and waiting for that time to come again. And I finished with this last final statement. I know I said, I'm finished.
I want you to think about this parents think about the real
success that you want for your children. Because I'm telling you right now, and I have no problem saying this to my son, he's six years old. Now he began he understands things that if my children will become successful in this world where they will become doctors, or lawyers, or scientists or astrophysicist or astronauts will be very happy will be proud. Unless they sacrifice their religion to get it. Unless they sacrifice the deen of Allah to get it. If they sacrifice the deen of Allah to gain anything of this life, they would never have the respect of a father. I would never give them any respect, whatsoever they would be to me the most miserable people on the planet. If they
sacrifice the deen of Allah to get it by Allah, for sure. If my son grew up, and because of the conditions of wanting to please Allah subhanho wa Taala. The condition that Allah set him in was a perverse condition. He was poor, he had nothing on his back, he barely had a roof on his head, he might end up sleeping on park benches, eating out of trash cans. If he dies with Mohammed rasulillah in his heart, then for me, my son is a success. He is a success, even if he has nothing in this life. Because we know that as Muslims, the real success does not come in this life. real success is not judged based on what happens to you in this life. It is based on what happens in the next life.
And for sure, with Islam, you have everything, even if you have nothing. But without Islam, you have nothing, even if you possess everything. And we have to let our children understand that I don't care how successful you come in this world. If you do not have the religion of Islam, you're nothing. You are nothing in the hereafter you will be nothing you will be a loser. But if you have the religion of Islam, it doesn't matter how hard times get, how frustrating your life may be, how many obstacles you may have to go over in front of the eyes of Allah as a jelly, you are a successful person. And in the Day of Judgment, you will be given all of that that you were deprived
from in this life. So there is no there is no
there is no failure that can come to the believer in this life. Only failure comes in the next life. Aquatica respectfully welcome
