Solid or solid, a single study on 100 or either everything what was primarily women for the same lay on the theme of my love
brothers, sisters, salaam aleikum wa rahmatullah.
Can I ask the brothers to fill the front lines, at least a couple of lines.
Living in the West, especially the current climate,
you often find
Muslim speaking about how difficult our existence is in the West.
And there are two kinds of people. When it comes to difficulties. There are those who face up to the difficulties and regard them
as challenges and an opportunity
to become closer to a boss panel.
And then they are the second side to shrink away from and they retract into the nutshells.
As believers,
we have this opportunity. Because the greatest reward in this day is for people who in times of difficulty remains that
it's easy as I mentioned yesterday, it's easy to remain
strong Muslim,
when everything is smooth,
but the real reward
is when times are difficult.
You remain firm for the sake of what
there was a time as I mentioned yesterday,
when the Muslims were dominant,
even the non Muslims wore turbans,
the non Muslims grew base, the non Muslims learn Arabic
because the Muslim culture was the dominant culture.
So for us to be strong Muslims when everything is easy,
not a major achievement.
For us to remain a strong Muslims, in times of difficulty, that is an achievement.
Not only do we remain further, but we carry the message.
We can read the message through our tongue, we carry the message through our actions.
We are people when people see our actions, they say, you know these people are different. No way in Islamic history is the Dow was thought
dow always remained even in the most difficult time. What was the most difficult time in the life of the province?
What was the most difficult time?
Was it
after 70 Sahaba passed away? No, it wasn't the most difficult time in the life of the Prophet. So it was a little was because of data because of calling people towards the last panel.
one occasion I shall be
as the Messenger of Allah.
She said O Messenger of Allah was the most difficult time in your life was in the Battle of heart when 70 Sahaba were martyred and the Muslim number at that time, and the professor Watson said no.
It was when I went to die. To call the people have died was a loss of power.
The purpose of Muslim generations remain there for 30 days, and not one person embraced Islam, not one person. Eventually,
they drove
out of time. And the duration, you mentioned that they had the children and the lives of the city, make a roll, make a line, and the progress
and they were pelted with stones
until the entire body of the province began to flow with blood, to the degree that I slipped with being worse, to speak because of the blood
and a loss of Hamilton I was seeing what was happening to me. So he sent
down to the province.
And he
came to the Messenger of Allah, Allah, Allah with me is the angel which controls the mountains, if you wish, I will come on demand he will cross the people of the mountain, what is the purpose of Muslims a year? Do it.
Look how they behave to me know the decline the offer, he declined the offer. And he said maybe a time will come
that their progeny will embrace Islam.
And then we'll do so Pamela and the most difficult time in the life of the Rosa law. So what did he do? He made it
he said
What do you
mean? He said, What did he say? There is a complaint about you know, the government
or the people of
America or Israel
difficult time.
He said
he said oh, I complain to you about my own weakness.
The greatest
complain to you about my own weakness and my lack of ingenuity was
is the significance in the eyes of other people that people are not ready to listen to my own
is that we you know, put a few stones out a few lists and we expect the entirety of humanity to run towards Islam. You agree is your actions I will be brief Islam on the six year feature six year feature
the 14% to embrace Islam after six years of the message of Allah the greatest of dies, the corny people
only 14 people embrace Islam
there was no big man with a better character than
when the
mountain of
any any any call the people that will be open
those days, you know, satellite systems, you have no internet. If you had something really important you would climb on the mountain or something you would shout from the people who gather. And the professor
said to the people that gathered, he said, If I was to tell you that behind this mountain, there is an army ready to attack you. Would you believe me? And one boy told
me
You are the one who is the best character from amongst us.
You are the one who is the most upright character. I mean, when they would give an example of a man with a good character, they would point to the message.
And then the
last panel Allah and His
family
is a distinction between you Mohammed is this one you can hear
after being the man who are the most impeccable character
and after six years of
man to embrace Islam.
So what was the most difficult time and the
the most difficult time in the life of the product? Some of it was alone was for the tower. You know, people Muslims complain, they complain, you know, we're having a tough, we have a difficult
time in this home. I guarantee you if you got it the suffering of all the Muslim world together
wouldn't be a fraction of what the Muslims went through in the time of the Mongols.
It would be a fraction less than a fraction of what they went through.
When Genghis Khan came with his army, they ransacked the region, Poland, Bulgaria, Russia, but even Western historians Right, well, how they decimated the Muslim world was unparalleled. There was a famous scene in the Muslim world.
If anybody tells you that the Mongols have been defeated don't believe they're invincible. This was a common statement amongst the Muslims in the time of the Mongols. When they read,
the nations mentioned and Genghis Khan he gathered the Muslims in the masjid. You know what he said to them? he said.
He said I am the punishment of Allah.
And then he butchered every single one. When they hit summer. Summer. They killed so many people that they made a pyramid when this coals join he mentioned that they were sir Genghis Khan had 15,000 men 15,000 men, when they took particular cities, sometimes every single man out of those 20 out of those 15,000 men had 24 most of them that he had to execute 50,000 men, each one had to execute 24 snakes.
Can you imagine?
Then they marched from what?
The Muslim the Muslim capital. This was at the time of gender study passed away came in.
And they marched upon the Muslim Capitol.
Somewhere else say it was the most beautiful,
beautiful city the most
beautiful and the entirety of the most beautiful city. And they marched upon it. And Masdar City
was the elite.
So the start sim spoke to his men, and they said the best thing is that we are Genghis Khan. We asked him for
four terms. So Helloooo said I would have a meeting with you, but not by yourself. I want you to bring all your all your leaders. So Genghis Khan came out to bow down with seven men, all his leading aroma, all the leading advices.
And then they went.
And when they reach the tent of a newborn, it allowed a handful of them to enter. And he said the rest of us wait, they took the rest. And they killed every single one.
And today, the Muslim, Halley is standing in the code of Hello. Normally, when people would stand in the corner of mustaches, they would shake. Today he's standing in the court. He's standing in the corner of Hulu.
And Hulu said go back
and tell the Muslim that they must put down their arms. So we'll start he went back into the law. He told the Muslim put down your arms, you know how what the population was 2 million, close to 2,000,001 point 8 million.
And then he bought Hulu bought the three children
of him and he had them killed in front of him. Then he bought his systems and he had them killed in front of him. Then he they rounded up all the Sunni scholars and they had an old butcher one after the other, one after the other. And then for the next 14 days massage, ever you find the Muslim killing for 14 days, they were killing Muslims.
Machine Gun, you didn't have a good radio, they made lines and they will take days
to come and they will look him up like you pluck out a
chicken and they be slow to rate. This is how they work blocking them out.
And it took days
and the duration will mention that the state of the Muslim was such
that
a woman would see a group of men and she was a stay
She would go,
and she would bring a suit. And she would kill them. And they wouldn't move that how scared they were
going to the woman, and she would kill everybody, and nobody would fight back. That's how terrified me that the Muslims became.
And then
he, he locked up Muslim in the dungeons, and he left and hungry for days. And musasa Give me some food. So he sent a platter of platter, big platter with gold on it.
And he sent it to me.
And Mr. Simpson was this Muslim.
Because CDs were people who were holding the goal, what they had in the palace, is they had a hole in the palace. And Hulu said to me, said, Bring me a wall, so important, both to not destroy the world that you are hiding.
So in the middle of the palace, there was this.
And then
the last 500 years, analysts have gathered all the excesses for the last 500 years, and that how within a decade disappear, the
so when I was hungry,
I'm starving,
sent him some gold on
some Assassin's Academy, this thing is back. So Hulu said if you couldn't eat it, why were you holding it?
Why would you keep it if you couldn't eat it? Why do they use it as spending your money, so they would have defended your city and you with their lives? And then he took him out of the dungeons. And he took him to the large gates of Bogota.
And he said, What is the benefit of those iron on those tapes, you would have been better that you had broken down and made allowances and had no gates and you've been defending it instead of having
no money to defend those gates.
And you know what was passing said? So Viola was not,
as Lou said, I will show you off otherwise. And they wrapped him in a carpet. And then they had the horses trampling him for 14 days. They butchered the Muslims. The Norwegians mentioned to the degree that many Muslims are actually graves and they were hiding under the graves, many dogs and cats even dead body to remain alive. And then after 40 days
out of the 1.8 million Muslims who live in Bogota ha ha ha kills
harmful kill a Muslim
they couldn't be the stage the smell so he left again he could have been to remain there.
So Pamela
and then after 40 days, the Muslims coming out and as I said the Muslim said if you ever a the Mongols have been defeated don't believe was invincible they are invincible. But then how I asked you how in such a state
and a parent at the same Mongols.
No man covered as much land and Genghis Khan did.
But in a plane at the same barbaric mambu became Muslim. How was it? Good people, you know had a concern they gave.
Many of the women were at the forefront of the tower.
Princess of Asana, she was taken as a slave to the princess you take this lady by you see the son of Genghis Khan. So Pamela she came down to the sun
and the sun embraced Islam, and then the sun fought against
another female who
was a great grandson of Genghis Khan and the grandson of Tai Chi hated the Muslims to die would have you know he would make up the dreams. The isagen describes the dream of
the Muslims.
And the
grandson, Cora
married
O'Connor became a Muslim.
She can be Muslim and then she came to this
Son, after
you get out to the sun, Mubarak Shah,
and he embraced Islam, and then in His Kingdom, women at the forefront of the tower and one time, the most difficult time.
And we know we have a neighbor with a non Muslim neighbor, we never want to keep him down.
You know, we will get embarrassed when we look at like Muslims.
You go with the flow, as I mentioned yesterday, you go with the flow is easy to go with the flow. So you have a neighbor, you know, I don't know how it works in England here, I'm sure it's not so bad. And the areas are Muslim, and everybody has moved out. And everybody moves out.
And the only time that the Muslims in England interact with non Muslims, you know, when the woman, the neighbor, the white neighbor gets old. Yeah, oh, the man gets old now that she's getting older, he's getting old, you want to buy the house, because we want to bring our daughter in law from goodness farm or Somalia or Pakistan or Bangladesh. And we want her daughter in law to be close to us. So she can cook. So then what they do
to this old person their life, then they start sending the sending the small sauce, the bucola the kebabs,
hoping that she will sell he will sell the house to them. That's the only time we give Dawa. And you look at the Muslims. They believed in what they had. They believed in it. They were strong.
They knew
he was a prince of his time. And he went out hunting. And they were saved for tomorrow.
Tomorrow, he was traveling with his his companions. And the region mentioned that they went into the power of the past where they would hunt. And he said how these Muslim who can my path?
And they say they said
he said the leader of tomorrow.
So what they did is they tied his hands, tied his legs and dragged him to the hook. And I said How did you come in my profit and then share that we didn't know. We were just travelers we were just passing by?
And
how they regarded the Muslims?
Who said, he said tell me Are you better? Or is my dog better?
So how Allah said, If Allah forgives me that I am better than your dog. And if Allah does not forgive me, then your dog is better than me.
And those words hit the heart of the truth.
And so cuckoo said, I said unties hands and the entire hand industry that they bought into it. And that is to speak to him. And she said you have to give him down.
Because he believed in what he had. He wasn't he was proud to be a Muslim.
And the great is rewarded with a difficult time and you're proud to be a Muslim, easy times.
It's easy to wear a job and everybody who has a job is easy. Everybody
is easy to pray in debate in Saudi Arabia. But what about the seat? What time? Are you embarrassed to press off? Are you embarrassed to kneel in front of your Creator? Because see the man who can leave in front of his creator, he can stand in front of anybody
who's embarrassed to smile on the street?
Are people too embarrassed to walk half naked on the street? they're embarrassed, they're embarrassed to smooch his girlfriend on the street. So why are you embarrassed to go into prostitution and one last panel data so people say, Oh, look at your body to creator, you're buying a lot.
Why are you embarrassed?
So she
said,
I am ready to embrace Islam
is I'm about to become the king. And if I pronounced my Islam now, they will not allow me to ascend on the throne. And he said when I become the king, come back to me. So she went back to Pokhara and when she was passing away, he told us,
he said make sure you go to the booth when he becomes the king.
shave demanding passed away. And tomorrow, the passed away
when it became the cake, received to gain awareness, but he was the king he couldn't have an audit
conclusive. So what he did is one morning he stood.
He stood, by the
way he would sleep, and in the middle of
somebody waking in the middle of the night, and he told the guards
so when they go into the
Navy, he said, How do you get waking up in the middle of night? And then he reminded me, I'm the son of ship tomorrow do I remember your promise to him? And the group said, he said, viola, every day since I become the king, I be waiting for God to come. One sentence.
One sentence,
one sentence change history, because it came from the heart.
It changed history.
And then he then
embraced Islam every night and
was given from the castle of the EU. In the most difficult times, the people remained firm on the D
because they believe in what they had.
And then when done for us, you know a few we see a few negative things about Islam on the TV. And so bro, if we could use bleach, we will use bleach.
We get embarrassed.
And you look at these people how they were on the D nothing dissuaded and see the greatest reward in the DA is not when things are easy. Why is
why am I here? Why is why?
Why is Mr. wise?
Amazing.
Why are these people all very have a special status in Islam? Because they sacrifice when nobody else was ready to sacrifice.
Why?
You know why? Because he stood up for what he believed he could have easily said, You know, I will profess my mom and my Islam when Islam is dominant, the province of Muslim said a time would come Islam would be dominant. I would profess my demand and my mom that he didn't say that he remained firm in difficult times. And this is what made
him special stinkers was a state that
he was the son of a slave. But he sacrificed for this the, to the degree that
without being persecuted, he went to Sahaba rebula.
And
an aeration mentioned that he hurried, and he went to Romania, and he said so we belong.
You're the one who corrupted him in the first place.
So he said how much he said 10 gold coins.
So
10 gold coins. And he gave them to me and Amelia began to love and I will go
with me and offered me one gold coin. I would have sold it for one gold coin. And
I swear by a law if you had had with me and asked me for 100 gold coins for Bella, I would have given you 100 gold coins. The problem is a lot of them said last night I went into gender
mommy
footsteps in front of me and they were in another direction.
Every time I went into gentleman I heard the footsteps of Bella.
Regarding
the greatest creation after the Gambia Omar was the second great occasion on the idea. And I
would say he would say see
see tomorrow, Bella. And I
would say
why was the special status of Bella was special because he sacrificed when nobody else was ready to sacrifice.
And today, you know a few negative portrayals about Islam
and we see
If that shakes your mind and we really need to speak, what is the state of mind?
A few negative portrayals, you know, brothers Mashallah law firm law that will either Islam, the real reward, let me tell you, the real reward is to remain steadfast when it's difficult.
It's easy when things are smoothed.
out on occasion, the system manager came to the house, he knocked on the door
and needed
remembering this old woman was a woman. She was 15 years senior to the professor.
And then she said, the woman who has red gums meaning she's so old.
And then she said, Now today Allah has given you better, Allah has given you better than Khadija. And
I swear by Allah, Allah has never given me better than
for simply me when nobody else was ready to be
spent to me when nobody else was ready to spend. She took me in when nobody else was ready to take me in.
And she was the only one that I have children one
of a given me better than Khadija. And the professor was always at a special status for Khadija, when the professor Muslim came in for Tomica Fatima was a conquest of Makkah, they asked the message of Allah. So where would you like to remain on message of Allah and the province of Muslims in a repeated attempt by the great Khadija, and when it came to the conquest, the Muslims are coming back now the power and the Muslim was standing with some of the Sahaba of the land. And in the distance, he saw this overlay indeed. And the rose lifted us However, on occasion, and he went to his old lady, and he took off his garment, and he placed it on the floor. And now this lady is sitting on
the
on the governor of the province of Lhasa. And for a very long time he sat with her and he spoke to her. And then he came back into the alarm message of Allah who was not a person who was aggressive. And the purpose of wa sallam said that was a friend of mine.
And we were reminiscing over the days, we will remember during the day,
and then went to the break the alarm Ha. And so Pamela gave a long talk. And he said all the detail you took me in when nobody else was ready to take me in. You believed in me when nobody else was ready to believe you spent on me when nobody else was ready to spend and then there was a profound statement. He said a profound statement is a deja vu, like to my burden.
She lightened the burden of a man when there was a piece of burdens.
It's easy to believe is easy to make fun
with everybody is firm. But like I said yesterday,
it's the dead fish which go with the flow. And it's only the living fish swim against the current. You see an environment around you, which may be contrary to your belief, but you remain. Why because you know,
you know that you are going to return to Allah subhanaw taala and the ultimate reward
is in difficult times, and times of difficulty that you will be firm on Islam. This
never stopped us we sometimes speak about, you know, great, great, great warriors of Islam, even great warriors of Islam.
even worried
that there was never a concept you look at
when john john was a mighty warrior from the Persians, and he said the battle he said is amongst you
tend to come out and face me on the battlefield. So he came and he said, I am Khalid but you are very full of yourself and others Johnson What should I be? There is no man amongst us and braver than I am so hard is it isn't brave men also meant to be intelligent, and he's not known for intelligence. So then told me how to the intelligent man. Worship fire. He was arrested
So under john said to quality service, and I haven't come here for a theological debate, I am coming for a theological debate.
Who said it was an obligation that I could convey the message to you. So on the Day of Judgment, you don't say to me that the message was conveyed to me, even on the battlefield that
stop the battle, saying, Man,
there was a Greek warrior called Giorgio and remount.
And George Clooney and unreason mentioned, take out to sold and the nourishment to win the horses, the horses crossed, he said to call up and when he said, I want to ask you a question. But remember one rule men don't lie. Tell me was a sword sent down from the heavens and sword sent down from the heaven and then your messenger gave it to you and this is why you're invincible in the battlefield harness and no,
he said avoid
recording.
And then he said what do you put rules he said, La ilaha illa
Allah Koto de la and he gave him power. And
he said GCF,
the jizya alcoholic, said the soul and in this case, the soul of Allah.
And then he said, What is the state of a person who embraces this law? He said that Islam we are all equal.
You know, one of the problems that we are not very good Muslims are very good at our it's because we live in our pockets. We never reach out to other people, Pakistani, Pakistani,
Muslim, Arabs, Arabs.
And we never reach out to anybody for us when we see a guy with a you know, what is he? Is he Punjabi? Is he Pakistani?
This wasn't the case, once upon a time, and this is why Muslims they say they say,
in America research has been done. Out of the people who embrace Islam 70% go back. They don't necessarily renounce the religion, but they go back to the old ways. Why? Because there's no infrastructure. The Muslims who are born as Muslims can never appreciate the state of a person who embrace Islam,
leave their family, they have to go into a new environment, we don't appreciate it.
embrace Islam, Mashallah.
Give him a few others first they give him power
is anyway and we have no new structure.
So we are at the stage of a person who embraces Islam, and God as
everybody's equal.
And then he embraced Islam and the women Raisa mentioned that he went to the camp of the Muslims, he prayed.
He prayed to God, he went back into the battlefield and he was not so far Allah.
But that never stopped.
The Dow never stopped in old times, the Dow carried on
and therefore you know, as a Muslim, the most difficult time is to give down in difficult in difficult situations.
And it's easy when somebody is rude to you to be rude to them.
It's easy,
but it's difficult
to be nice to people who are not very nice to when I speak about the Dow and not just limited to non Muslims. Power to Muslims. When you speak to people, and they're not very courteous
and they're not very receptive. What do you say, bro? Fantastic. Love. Don't give him a dial.
You know he is perverted. He's misguided. Upon a lot tomorrow that person could be better than you
could be better than you there is no guarantee.
So therefore our dow should be the Dow of gentlemen.
We speak to people we fall into the last panel $1 made me Muslim made him a non Muslims. Now we call them for the last panel gala in a nice manner. we convey the message
They accept or they don't accept that they be.
But upon us is the obligation of conveying the message, looking at the level of profit or loss of how many times became some difficult situations. And in difficult situations, people were not even mentioned there was
one.
And there was a Jewish Muslim had, had bought some things off. And he grabbed the government of the province of muscle.
He grabbed the government and the Sahaba came running
over and this was before. And he said, he said, When do you want to give?
back, and this was even before the prescribed time.
So the man was wrong. So Omar came, and Omar looked at him.
He looked, and then he began to scold him, and the
panel
was in the right, the Jew was in the room.
And he said to Ramallah, he said,
do not hate them, if you want to assist, then tend to be a person who takes back in a good manner, and never was over, tell me he's Pamela, the mercy of Allah saying, oh, tell me to be a person who gives him a good man.
And then he said, If you really want to assist them to get some dates, so we could give him the dates back.
And he got some dates, and he gave the man the data to the dates, and the Mo.
They gave him actually more than he initially gave. So this is the message of a loss that I should give you more than you actually gave.
And the Jew says, you know who I am, he was a famous rabbi, and also Jews. He said, I read the signs of the final prophet, and one of the sign of the final prophet is that his forbearance will proceed his anger.
If anyone is equal to him, he will be good.
He will be good too. And this is why I believe that there are times where you know, harshness is required, but generally we are people.
We are people who will lean upon occasion, you know, group of Jews came to the Messenger of Allah and they said to the visit some sama sama,
Salaam Alaikum, which means death upon you. So the lie upon you as well.
Yeah, I heard
so.
And she
said,
she said, Oh, my God, Didn't you hear what they said? They said, disappoint you
heard? And I replied, and then he said, and then he said, he said, Elijah, Allah loves gentleness in all of this.
Allah loves gentleness and all of face.
We will give power to somebody we know who's gonna listen. We will be good to somebody, we know who's gonna be good to us.
But the truth is, the most difficult thing is that we are reduced down in the most difficult places.
We can go in the most difficult places, and don't care about what the dounia thinks about you. And your dog don't care how
many times the Sahaba were defeated. And as I mentioned yesterday, in the eyes of Allah, there were two weeks, there will be tourists.
So we give the Dawa, we remain firm, we will remain united for the sake of Allah subhanho wa Taala. You know, then it's very important that we remain firm and United for the sake of Allah subhanho wa Taala.
It's easy, you know, to fall into little groups, Group, a group, a group that this is not what this woman is about, is about, you know, you may even have your differences. But Pamela, you have an element of tolerance in you. Because, you know, the truth is,
when you divide, you show your weakness, and they will pick you up one by one.
They will pick you up one by one. You think they don't do their research that enemies of Islam in whatever form or shape they come with, they come as monastics and as Muslims. You know, may they be non Muslim, whatever to say, they won't kick you off.
And therefore, you know, you need to be united. You've all heard the story of the three bulls.
You heard the story of the three bulls.
Now
there was three bulls. Yeah, they live in the jungle and then there was a lion.
So the lion knew that he couldn't take them all. So he had to divide them. So there was
no Red Bull the drink yet. Red Bull and blue, red, white bull and a black Ooh. So the lion, you could take them all together. So he one day he approached him. And he said to the
he said to the white, blue, and the Red Bull says, No, I haven't had black meat for a very long time. You to look the other way. Let me attack the Black Bull.
And as far as you are concerned, you my friends were the same. So they look the other way. And they attacked and they develop the Blackpool.
The next week, he came.
And he said to the white bowl, he said, it's a long time I haven't had any red meat as far as human
bodies.
You know, we so the white board said, You know what, as long as I keep the lion sweet, because he's the king of the jungle, as long as I keep him sweet. Everything is hunky dory, as long as we keep those one. And those who are strong, sweet. Everything is hunky dory, we'll do whatever it takes. And normally we protect our back.
So he said no problem. You're the king of the jungle. You know what you want to meet your buddies? yet? So what he did is he attacked, and he devoured the red book. The next week, he came to the white
and he began to grow.
And he said to the white book today.
Today is your turn. And the White Wolf said no. Is it today It's your turn now to kill you said no to you. You kill me the day I allowed you to kill the black.
You kill me the day I allowed you to kill the practice.
And they will ask as Muslims is an argument
to allow little little issues to divide you. You know, don't ever be arrogant to believe that your opinion is the only opinion
and you know people,
people who work on this, the man that believes believe have a strong connection with the last panel done. My final one five minutes over my time. My last panel of other makers amongst those who work for is the mayor of Las Vegas amongst those who
was steadfast with the mayor lucky to get on the bus.
Salam Alaikum
