Baba can calm down,
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:22
			calm down, calm down. abubaker was crying.
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:36
			And then the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Whoever has done me a favor in this dunya
I've repaid them. As for aboubaker, Allah will repay him on the Day of Judgment.
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:51
			And then the province Allah Sallam said, If I was to take a friend, it would have been Abu Bakar but
the Brotherhood of Islam is enough. And then the Messenger of Allah said in the virtual worker, he
said all the doors around the machine should be closed besides the door, Abu Bakr radi Allahu
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:54
			Abu Bakar comes out
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:57
			and he sees the chaos.
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:22
			And today he doesn't cry. Why doesn't he cry because Allah destined this weak bodied person to be
the next Salif and he stands up and he says, Omar calm down and Omar is carrying on and then he
gives you said man kanaya Buddha, Muhammad Mohammedan for inna Mohammedan Padma woman Canada with
Allah for in Manila, hey, you lay your mood. He said, Whoever worship Muhammad,
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:39
			then let him know that Mohammed has passed on to his Lord and whoever worship Allah, then let him
know that allies alive and death does not before Allah subhanho wa Taala. And then he recited the
verses which were revealed on the Battle of Oh hot
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:43
			Battle of all these verses were revealed
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:48
			that if Muhammad passes Muhammad is the messenger
		
00:01:49 --> 00:02:18
			and messengers before him have passed. If he dies or is killed with you, then turn on your heels.
For if you turn on your heels, you will not harm Allah subhanaw taala nyota Omar says when he
recited this verse, it was as though this verse was revealed today and I realized that the Messenger
of Allah had left this dunya and I fell and my knee my legs could no longer hold me and I fell to
the ground. You know, your mom calls to be says listen to this.
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:23
			A mom cooked up says that the greatest
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:31
			side the greatest bravery ever performed in the history of this oma, was this of Abu Bakr Siddiq
		
00:02:33 --> 00:03:04
			and the demise of the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wasallam they call it emotional bravery,
emotional courage. When you have a masiva that shows how much steel that you have. The Messenger of
Allah says whenever whenever difficulty before you remember my device, and it will give the war of
your difficulty. The greatest example of bravery was this, of Abu Bakr radi Allahu anhu. He showed
steel. You know what Omar would say? Omar would say,
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:07
			he said I would give
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:24
			the the mother a bother and my my good actions of my entire life for a day and the night in the life
of Abu Bakar a day and night in the life of a worker. You know what that day was?
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:42
			That day was when he spent the day in the cave with the prophets Allah lives on. And you know that
night was the night that the Messenger of Allah passed away. Omar ameerul momineen the man regarding
who the Messenger of Allah said if there was a prophet to come after we it would have been a maraca
pub.
		
00:03:43 --> 00:04:05
			He saying that if for a day and night in the life of ibaka I would give my entire actions and then
we move on Abubakar roseola and who becomes the next Calif so he's the Calif now but what's happened
in the Muslim world? What's happened in the Muslim world is that the Muslim world has now rebelled
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:14
			the vast majority of Muslims rebelled in one form or the other some became outright martyred. Some
refuse to give this a cart.
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:17
			So now Abubakar roseola. And who is that? I mean?
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:38
			The last command of the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was that the army of Osama
bin Zayed should be dispatched. This army had all the warriors of Islam in this they reached a place
outside Medina called drove and they heard that the Messenger of Allah is ill and they kept there
they didn't move.
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:59
			Now the Messenger of Allah passes away, and Abu Bakar of the Lama said we're gonna dispatch this
army and it's gonna go to the Romans. The Sahaba said, what you doing abubaker oX nzbn two major
tribes are now deciding to attack Medina and you are dispatching an army which has all the soldiers
of Islam
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:16
			He said this is suicide. So they sent Omar have no capacity to speak to Abu Bakar. And Omar says, He
says, Oh Abu Bakar armies are attacking Medina. They're only a little way away and you are
dispatching this army.
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:19
			Listen to the replay boubakeur.
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:51
			avacado the alarm who said it was the command and the desire of the profits or losses to dispatch
this army. He said by Allah, I will never withhold the command of the Messenger of Allah sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam, he said, I swear by Allah, if I have to defend Medina all by myself, I will defend
Medina almost by myself, that I swear by Allah if I knew predatory animals, would drag my body
outside Medina dead, I will still dispatch this army.
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:59
			Any dispatch this army with all the eminent Sahaba the commander
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:10
			and the general of this army was a man called Osama bin Zayed. Osama bin Zayed was the Beloved of
the Messenger of Allah. And at this time, he was only 18 years old.
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:19
			So they went back to Omar, they said, Okay, if he's adamant he's gonna dispatch this army. They'll
do us a favor. Tell him
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:27
			that Osama is too young. There's too much chaos going on, change the general.
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:36
			So Omar goes back to speak to Abu Bakar. And he says to Abu Bakar is a worker the Sahaba saying
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:52
			that Osama is too young there's too much going on may replace it with an older commander. The
narrations mentioned, the Abu Bakar was sitting down. He jumped up. He grabbed the beard of Omar.
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:59
			He said Omar, may your mother lose you? Do you want me to demote a man who the Messenger of Allah
made the genuine
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:07
			and Omar put his head down? Do you want me to demote a man who the Messenger of Allah made a general
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:20
			Omar gore up after a while in the left? He went out and the Sahaba said What happened? What
happened? is in May your mother's all lose you
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:25
			may your mother's own lose you. This is what happened.
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:28
			He dispatched the army.
		
00:07:29 --> 00:08:11
			There's um these tribes are attacking Medina just after the demise of the province Allah Allah. You
know, let me tell you a statement here. Remember this statement? If you remember nothing else? The
Sahaba love the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. No people love the message of Allah
like the Sahaba did. Three days after the demise of the prophets Allah from the army was dispatched.
shalabi says, even the morning of the Sahaba was through actions. they mourn but they did the
actions. They didn't sit on their backsides. Then Omar came and he said Oh, he said, Oh Khalifa
todos la vaca calm down now. Now you want to fight all the Arab tribe, you dispatch the army. You
		
00:08:11 --> 00:09:01
			are, he said Be gentle with them. The Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, when a
person says La ilaha illAllah Muhammad Rasulullah his blood and his life is sacred and his wealth is
sacred. Relax, relax. Omar is he telling who aboubaker is that these people are recite in La ilaha
illAllah. Abu Bakar said Listen, if a person withholds a string of the card, which he gave it the
time of the prophets Allah Salaam, I will fight that person. And then he said to Omar La ilaha
illAllah. He said, Omar, he said, Omar a Jabbar and Phil Jai Leah wa Juan Phil Islam. So Omar, we
breathe in jelly Have you become a coward in Islam? A jabardasth is
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:04
			a wonderful Islam.
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:10
			Were you brave before Islam? Omar was known and you become a coward.
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:20
			And this is what they call moral courage. You have a standpoint and you stand that standpoint. I
want to leave you with these words. brothers sisters.
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:29
			What kind of courage do you have? As a group of people? What kind of courage do you have? Do you
have any courage at all?
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:57
			Or are you throwing in the towel? No emotional courage, no physical courage, no moral courage? Since
911, you look at the Muslim state. you apologize for everything. Something happened in France. you
apologize. Something happened somewhere else as it helped you at all. Not an iota. Not an iota. It's
gone from bad to worse.
		
00:09:58 --> 00:09:59
			You make excuses
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:02
			You know, let me ask you a question.
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:06
			Who's Islamophobia? Put your hands up Who's islamaphobe?
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:08
			Any Islamophobia?
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:21
			The worst form of Islamophobia is when you internalize it when you become an islamophobe. And you
don't even realize
		
00:10:23 --> 00:11:13
			when you use rhetoric, which was created by the islamophobes. So you use rhetoric like, oh,
extremist, moderate, what does a moderate Muslim mean? Nobody knows is create to you to Quilliam.
All of you are extremists. So what retrograde using Islamist you become an islamophobe without
knowing you've internalized the belief. They created rhetoric for you, and you adopted it. Something
happens at school, somebody comes with Islamic first Islamophobic statement, you say nothing, you
sweep it under the carpet. The Bible is a Muslim said allow me to become middle Jube Allah, I seek
refuge in You from being a coward, cowardice, I seek refuge from you.
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:27
			And this is the state you complain about your leaders being a bunch of cowards. But you can't even
speak out some of the things everybody has to take it up with the government, but in your areas.
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:33
			The next time Listen, the next time you tell your children not to do something.
		
00:11:35 --> 00:12:00
			Because they're Muslims, then you have created your children into second class citizens. That's what
you done. If you tell your child at school, don't say this, but all the other children can say it,
then you have made your children then you have made then you have made your children into second
class citizen and by a law remember this. If you don't respect yourself, nobody will respect you.
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:12
			If you're a coward yourself, if you don't have the bravery to stand up and speak, nobody else would
ever respect you. And this is what's happened to the Muslim ummah.
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:17
			You're always apologizing. The only reason
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:34
			you start food banks and homeless projects is why you asked everybody Oh, we gained bad press. We
want to go give a good impression. You're British as much as a cup of tea, a load of rubbish.
		
00:12:35 --> 00:13:13
			A cup of tea. Does anybody else have to say that? So why are you saying it for? See, I was born in
this country. And from day Doc, I was told I am an equal citizen. And by Allah I will never live on
my knees. You know what, I won't live on my knees. Because if I live on my knees, I'm etching the
way for my children to live on their stomachs. Then I will not do that. You look at the life of the
Messenger of Allah, Sushil courage aboubaker emotional courage and listen me out. I'm not trying to
hype up a group of youngsters here. Because you know young says they cause more problems than good
often.
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:16
			But leadership needs this.
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:22
			We need to be brave. We need to be courageous.
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:28
			This is what our Deen teaches us. Though. internalize.
		
00:13:29 --> 00:14:07
			Though, internalize your fears. Don't become islamophobe without realizing you become a slammer
vote. trust in Allah subhanho wa Taala be positive citizens for this country. The greatest lesson
the greatest proliferator of terrorism is what is foreign policy. All academic reports say that
every single academic report says that the greatest proliferator of terrorism is foreign policy. Who
is foreign policy created by the government? Have you ever heard the government apologize for
terrorism?
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:23
			Have you ever heard him say Iraq was a mistake? Afghanistan was a mistake. What we didn't Palestine
was never but you know, when you apologize, you've accepted firstly that the problem lies with you.
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:26
			Oh, flashy.
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:42
			flashy, this and flashy that, you know, you say yeah, this association. Don't call that shit. You
love that shit. You know, everything he says is right, but you disassociate yourself from that
chair.
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:49
			Have they ever apologized for what you're apologizing? I want to leave this message with you.
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:53
			The life of Abu Bakr Siddiq or the Allahu anhu
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:59
			is a source of great inspiration. I've already spoke about
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:06
			his courage, but I want to couple courage with good actions. If you start a food bank
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:17
			if you start a homeless project, do it for the sake of Allah. Allah says in the Quran in amando mo
de la, la,
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:30
			la la la Shakira. The only reason we feed you is for the sake of Allah. We don't want any desire or
sugar from you. We don't want any Recompense. Do food banks,
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:46
			do homeless projects. Be good to your neighbors excellent opportunity we never did in the before we
got an opportunity. But don't do it because you're getting bad press. I'll tell you why. Because the
day you will be out of the media is the day you will stop.
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:52
			And we don't do it for that sake. We have what Allah defines in the Quran. kontum hayleigh
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:56
			llenas de Marana Bill maruf 14 hola and
