00:01:08 --> 00:01:13
			having to do the hill at the head and had a wonderful dinner. No doubt.
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:28
			appraising due to a lot was guided us to this path of Islam. We would not have been able to guide
ourselves and not Allah infinity mercy chosen to guide us
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:33
			a long time I mentioned in the last verse of sort of that hedge
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:39
			immune issue on the on the smooth natural
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:44
			agenda here to learn how to
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:59
			watch the bear Amana, John on April 16. In heritage military comm Ibrahim, who was some of the most

			European more solid white with catwalk Halsema will well know that nierman mo nierman elsley.
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:23
			So Allah mentions
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:26
			in the Quran,
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:55
			struggle in the way of Allah as should rightfully be the case. When I thought of Juma today's these
verses then I thought I might have already discussed them but any verse in the Quran you could
discuss a year worth of Coronavirus. So try to approach it from a different angle just in case I
didn't mention these verses before. So a lot of times I mentioned what Jay who do filet Haqqani
		
00:02:57 --> 00:03:01
			struggle in the way of Allah should rightfully be the case.
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:23
			Three meanings and a different in addition to the linguistic meaning which we just translated, and
which means just strive in the way of Allah with everything you have with all of your mic because
we'll never fulfill the rights that Allah has over us have 5g had
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:32
			the right that Allah has over us as to wait. So essentially, we're being told this to give it all
you have.
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:47
			But three specific meanings are mentioned. Violin that one would J do fillet Apogee heading struggle
at the end of Islam
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:52
			as those who preceded us struggle at the beginning.
		
00:03:54 --> 00:04:00
			So sometimes we take it for granted that we're Muslim,
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:44
			born in a Muslim family or the circumstances that led us to convert and we take it for granted that
this religion just came to us. I was a convert and I was searching for before I converted I was
searching for religion and Hamdulillah I found this man. I was born in a Muslim family hamdulillah
my parents were very devout and they gave me a good Muslim not bringing Masha Allah. But the fact
that they had Islam and the fact that Islam is there for us, as converts such as my myself to
convert to
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:48
			is the result of tremendous struggle
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:59
			is the result of generation of the generation starting with the very first generation of the
companions, roughly Allah Landrum
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:04
			The Prophet himself symbolizes the center they engaged in a tremendous
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:11
			What did the Prophet suffer some Allah and he was setting up for us to have this.
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:15
			We know that
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:26
			he had to leave his home then he suffered exile. We know he suffered humiliation as happened on the
day of thought as
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:34
			we know that he suffered to witness the loss of his male children.
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:49
			He suffered the loss of his wife Khadija, or the Allah Han Solo the law who said he suffered exile
and blockade before an exile rather be boycotted and blockaded.
		
00:05:51 --> 00:06:00
			He suffered seeing his most beloved come companions, many of them has family members being killed.
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:09
			And some of them tortured in the most brutal ways, such as some mania. And yes,
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:14
			how bad how bad that Allah and others
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:16
			torture
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:20
			some Allah All I needed was similar.
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:36
			He's he had all of the people in his vicinity, mobilizing against the Assad, when they descended on
Medina.
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:52
			He suffered all of that, and more that can be affected by just what the prophet suffered, shall
Allah and they will send him so that we could be Muslim so that we can have Islam
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:55
			and then the companions
		
00:06:57 --> 00:07:00
			100,000 companions
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:06
			say what the hatchet and what that
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:11
			is in the terrible cold weather.
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:14
			How many of them died in Medina,
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:27
			how many died in North Africa? How many are buried in Shem? How many of them travel throughout the
known world at that time
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:30
			to bring Islam to people
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:36
			who left their families, many of them they left their homeland, their homelands.
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:39
			So that we can have this nun
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:44
			and so on are the other one.
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:46
			He mentioned
		
00:07:48 --> 00:08:07
			that we should struggle at the end as at the beginning. For us, we're really at the end who at the
end of the line, if one can see the signs all around us. Then we need to take the blinders off of
our eyes. The prophets of Allah by name was was send them and mention
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:27
			them in a yen to send them a yam or sabak. At the end of time, there will be days that will became
because the days of patience, because the ministry challenges and struggles and difficulties and
those days will require a person to be patient.
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:41
			Before we go further, in the Hadith, we just want to remind all of the brothers and sisters Be
patient. You see many people out of impatience than losing the cool.
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:47
			They're putting the very Dean in danger.
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:50
			We live
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:54
			our religion humanizes us,
		
00:08:55 --> 00:09:02
			these scholars of whose role or the relate the principles of the religion.
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:08
			They say there are five great low costs and mocassin the Sharia and the cost of the shirt.
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:55
			On the cost of the Sharia. There are five Heffalump Deen one what HYAH Well, after the one lesson,
what med but remember, Rafi the great Egyptian legal theorist he said whenever you added a sixth and
ever so preserving religion, preserving life preserving intellect, preserving the family and
preserving private wealth private property and Imam karate said and preserving honor COVELO
Mussolini Island Muslim the Haram devil who a man who every Muslim has the sanctity and volatility
concerning their fellow Muslim their life their property, their honor.
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:59
			In any case, yeah, those recently we
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:08
			Don't say the name of the scholar, one of the scholars said the preservation of life should be given
priority over religion.
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:15
			And the rebuttal to that is, if we don't have religion, life doesn't work.
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:18
			Because we're just animals.
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:24
			We just read, we eat, we drink, we procreate.
		
00:10:25 --> 00:11:01
			And then we've done thus an animal's life. They eat, they sleep, they procreate, and then they die.
No higher purpose is Dean that gives us a higher purpose in our lives is thing that connects us to
the very purpose of our existence. When the hauled off to dinner. When is the 11th hour boom, we've
only created the jinn and the human that they worship Me, I have only created the gym and the human
beings that they worship Me. So that's the purpose of our very existence.
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:17
			That's why it's number one, but we say that because these days religion is under assault from every
conceivable angle, and the Prophet predicted it, there will be difficult days.
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:38
			There will be days called Days of patience. Well of course, we will see how Allah Dini he can pagi
the algebra among holding on to the deen to the religion in that days, those days would be like one
holding of burning coal of burning ember is not going to be easy.
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:45
			It's not going to be easy. And because it's not going to be easy.
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:51
			The prophets of Allah they will send them promising great reward.
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:55
			And he will put them in the Shakhtar.
		
00:11:56 --> 00:12:29
			A principle in our religion is that the reward we get is commensurate to the struggle. And because
at the end of time, it's going to be so difficult to hold on to the religion. What is the reward?
Well, hobby goofy hat, Isla Dini, he can copy the eyelid jumper, well as you will army to fee hair
can as you can educate, have seen around Julian and the reward of one who continues to practice and
literally was as your army who
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:46
			was entering the army, the one who continues to practice the one who holds on to their religion, the
one who doesn't compromise, the one who doesn't give up the one who doesn't quit. The one who
doesn't turn the back on the pathetic heritage
		
00:12:47 --> 00:13:03
			is like 50 Men, calm the Companions here in this they said men they're only men, there are 50 of us,
or 50 of them, men 50, a few your reward of 50 companions.
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:20
			We have to struggle brothers and sisters. And that's what the struggle is difficult. But the reward
is immense. As you encounter the various challenges of this day,
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:29
			whatever that challenge might be, and they come in so many different forms today, so many different
layers in so many different levels.
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:39
			Just to remind yourself not of the difficulty of the struggle, but of the immensity of the reward
for engaging this.
		
00:13:40 --> 00:14:24
			the immensity of the reward will not give us tofield Jahai, Boo filet, Hakka Jihad struggling the
way of Allah, as you rightfully be the case, struggle at the end of Islam as they struggled at the
beginning. This is a religion of struggle. And the struggle again, it comes in various ways. It
could be very personal, it could be communal, it could be OMA, why would you start with yourself?
Start with yourself a struggle with those personal challenges that you find in your life. Another

misguided, emotionally drained deranged person is doing in Santa Fe, New Mexico, while you are doing
with your life, and the time Allah has given you
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:07
			so don't fear the criticism of the criticizing

			because it's someone who has abandoned religion, someone who in fact might have declared war on
religion, generally and Islam specifically criticizes you it means you must be doing something
right.
