			So what kind of inches every soul will experience and you will be given your weekend penciled for on
the Day of Resurrection. Whoever is pulled that from a distance from * and entered into paradise
is the victorious
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:13
			And what is the life of this world except deceptive enjoyment? So watch out of your mind. Just Hulu
Nuff said that equal to load every soul with experience that
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:30
			the only thing we can say with absolute certainty about this life is that we're all going to die. We
can say with absolute certainty if any one individual will be ritual for
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:36
			they will travel or live a sedentary lifestyle.
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:43
			If they will grow up and become parents, or if they will die and have no offspring.
		
00:05:45 --> 00:06:10
			We can they will be a person who owns their own home, or will they rent for the entirety of their
life, we can say any of these things or anything else, there's absolute certainty about any baby or
infant that comes into this world. But one thing we can say with absolute certainty is that everyone
will die coolness in
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:28
			our community, that our community here in our community here in the United States has been shaken.
As you all know, by the brutal assassination of three young, beautiful, talented
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:35
			Muslim students. This has affected many, many people
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:40
			wondering if it can happen to them.
		
00:06:42 --> 00:07:11
			And they're not radicals, they're not militants, rather, they're all very successful students, law
abiding citizens. They're pillars of their community. They're engaged in charity, they're engaged in
work that helps in assist Muslims and others. This shining the light of their beautiful
personalities on everyone who crosses their path, it can happen to them, it can happen to anyone.
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:13
			And indeed they can.
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:24
			Or they could have been killed in a car accident. Or as there are oncologist, you oncologist.
		
00:07:26 --> 00:08:05
			Some intelligence also, philosophers study the nature of being. But there are colleges too, who can
tell you young people contract cancer. If there's a children's hospital here in Flint, we can go
there and we'll find young children 345678 910 years old, who have contracted cancer, many of them
are probably going to pass away, we're all going to die. And we die in different ways. So the death
was inevitable, inevitable, but is is tragic, nonetheless.
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:18
			So why do I say this? I say this to remind us brothers and sisters, that we are not people who
should be who should fall apart.
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:34
			In the face of death, no matter how tragic we should be people understand, yes, we shed tears, and
we feel sadness, especially like myself. You lose them
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:36
			or met him.
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:42
			I can't sell intimately acquainted, but I've met for sure.
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:48
			And probably his wife and her sister,
		
00:08:49 --> 00:09:00
			and have know very well, the sister many of you saw on CNN, Suzanne, a wonderful young medical
doctor.
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:02
			In any case,
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:11
			we should be the people who understand this is their decree.
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:15
			And they will have a high high standing
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:30
			with a loss of time. So the issue shouldn't be the tragedy of their death. The issue should be what
can we learn from their lives? What can we learn from their lives.
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:39
			The first thing we can learn brothers and sisters is that we don't know when our life for them.
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:43
			So we have to take advantage like them.
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:52
			Every moment that we have in this world, we should constantly be seeking ways to do good for our
community.
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:59
			Both our Muslim community and the wider community that we belong to, as was their case
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:08
			We should be the best at what we do. They were our Honors students, they all graduated come loaded,
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:15
			we should all be the best at what we do. If we're student we should be the best students
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:28
			in the job that we if we're doing a job, we should do the best at it. If we're involved in charity,
in other words, we should be the most enthusiastic
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:42
			charity workers. As we saw the many of you saw the video of recruiting dentists, to go to the
refugee camps in Turkey, to serve the children
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:47
			who don't have access to dental care.
		
00:10:48 --> 00:11:01
			We should be the best at whatever we do, we should be looking for ways to do good to others. This is
what we can learn from their lives. We should be courageous young Muslims,
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:14
			we should understand there are no limitations. Our religion isn't a limitation. It didn't keep them
out of dental school. It didn't keep them from going to university.
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:17
			The young sisters
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:31
			your SIR and her sister, Roseanne, they didn't have to take their hijab off, to be respected, and to
accomplish what they accomplished in their young lives.
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:34
			This what we can learn from their living?
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:38
			Who do we blame?
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:48
			When we these things happen before we start looking at the material issues, we should look at the
spiritual issues.
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:51
			And the first one we played
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:54
			is the son of Adam,
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:59
			the eldest son of Adam.
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:17
			Because the messenger will also love It was said that he reminds us that to love so not so good. And
then in a can I love that. Oh, well. kifune and Debbie had the me know who can overlap and
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:29
			then no one. You guys in the back you two striped sweater, striped sweater, who's laughing and
joking. This is funny, get up and leave
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:32
			me you don't have to stay here.
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:36
			You can leave if you want to joke Lee.
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:40
			That's what you can learn from these three people will kill it.
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:43
			Tomorrow could be your turn.
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:55
			If you want to go out laughing and joking in the football. That's how you're going to meet a lot.
And I hope you're not too young to learn and understand that lesson.
		
00:12:58 --> 00:13:07
			So if it's a joke, if you want to text you want to chat with your friend, girl. For me. This is a
this is America is a free country.
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:10
			You're free to leave.
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:14
			There's no joke.
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:25
			Anyone else you can leave. You can go in the hall. There's a beautiful cafeteria, go get something
to eat. There's a wonderful gym, you can go through.
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:29
			You don't have to waste your time here.
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:33
			Because I didn't come here to waste your time.
		
00:13:41 --> 00:14:01
			No CIO is killed. No innocent soul is killed, except that the elder son of Adam shares a portion of
the same of the sin of that murder. The blood of that murder because he was the one who innovated
murder in the human family.
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:05
			Then you can go over them and send them a copy
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:08
			that you started.
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:12
			We can blame shape on.
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:20
			We shouldn't bring this pathetic up there.
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:24
			Because he's the victim.
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:32
			He's the victim of circumstances being created by evil people.
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:36
			And our job is to combat that evil.
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:59
			Our job is to combat that evil. Our job is to push back against the tidal wave of hate that's being
created in this country. Our job is to be inspired by these young people who have lost their lives
to settle
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:17
			In our power to ensure that no other innocent person has to die because of ignorance because of
hatred, because of some political agenda that's been put in place by people who for whatever reason,
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:49
			apprehensive about the Muslim made it the Muslim become too influential, they'll affect the
stranglehold that designers have over the American foreign policy, especially towards the middle
east. Maybe if it comes to influential the Christian extremists fear that as their people are fed up
or frustrated or disenchanted with Christianity.
		
00:15:51 --> 00:16:01
			As they are increasingly they'll take out Islam and swell the ranks of the Muslim, whatever their
theories, we should be the ones
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:21
			who are telling them you have nothing to fear. We should be the ones that are telling our fellow
Muslims to stand up, be proud, hold your head up, define the bullies, both the actual both the
actual bullies and the online bullies.
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:25
			By being courageous,
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:30
			by not giving in to the fear mongers and the hate mongers.
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:45
			Bye bye, reminding our Christian neighbors who fear a caricature that's being created. That has
nothing to do with people like these three young people
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:56
			who are kind and gentle and charitable, and free spirited. And the last thing on their mind was
harming anyone
		
00:16:58 --> 00:16:59
			when their neighbor
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:14
			who supposedly had a parking dispute, as his ex wife said with many people, when he decides to kill
the Muslims, when he's intimidating them,
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:19
			and coming before them with a gun in their belt.
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:24
			They didn't do what many Americans would have done,
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:31
			exercise their second amendment rights and went out and bought a gun themselves.
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:39
			This is how far they will remove from this stereotype of violence.
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:46
			Because they weren't afraid,
		
00:17:47 --> 00:17:48
			they did it fear
		
00:17:49 --> 00:18:16
			and that's appropriate for Muslim because Allah subhanho wa Taala reminds us in the Quran, in the
Medallia shaytaan look holy for our Leah fell out of her home of how funny in me that says say he
wants to instill the fear of his country. fear, fear them not rather fear me if indeed you are
Muslims.
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:25
			So we shouldn't be people live in fear. We should go about our business, we should continue to do
the good things that we do.
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:31
			And we should remind our Christian nations
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:39
			who are living still many of them with fear of this caricature, this non existent caricature
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:47
			that your bible tells you Yea, though I walk through the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for
		
00:18:49 --> 00:19:12
			art with me, Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me. So why are you afraid? What are you afraid of?
Are you afraid of the likes of these people? Are you afraid of these? The people in this messaging,
law abiding citizens, decent people have been working people are just trying to get ahead in life?
What do you you're afraid?
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:30
			But that's our job. That's our job. And we need to do our job. And it's a good thing that this kid
is having an open house, I believe February 21, to invite the neighbors in to come see it shed.
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:32
			First head.
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:38
			And don't don't don't believe what you're being told and shown
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:43
			through various aspects of the media now won't give us
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:59
			each and every one here to continue to be strong, to continue to smile, to continue to show acts of
kindness, to continue to love to not allow the hatred
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:04
			Some bigoted individuals to take the love out of our hearts.
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:15
			This is our challenge. This is our calling knowledge it gives us time to make it easy approval COVID
that was
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:19
			when he sent me an email
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:50
			hamdu Lillahi Rabbil alameen wa Salatu was Salam ala c University
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:54
			while he was talking to US Senate
		
00:20:57 --> 00:21:06
			Committee on the legality, which is why we are being sold on it. So Hanna can see that and it can
come at a time that
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:08
			was
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:16
			even early. He was selling out in Long
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:20
			Island, maybe
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:25
			he was selling
		
00:21:26 --> 00:21:28
			a lot most of us.
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:31
			And he was saying
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:34
			and hopefully we learn.
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:45
			Allah subhanho wa Taala gives us an opportunity to reflect on life when we're confronted with death.
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:56
			And one of the things that our profits on the love island with sentiment told us to help guide our
reflection

			below this world as a stranger or a wayfare, reminding him you're just passing through. So like
these three beautiful young people were just passing through.
		
00:22:21 --> 00:22:28
			And because we're passing through, we shouldn't allow our hearts to become too attached to this
world.
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:35
			Because we're just passing through, our hearts should be attached to our home.
		
00:22:37 --> 00:22:43
			Our heart should be attached to our home and our home is agenda to get down
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:46

00:25:54 --> 00:26:04
			Me, good and evil, not evil. So the evil act of the murderer of these young people
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:07
			is not equal to the good that they did.
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:15
			It's not equal with the loss of power over time. It's not equal the way it impacts human hearts.
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:19
			It's not equal in the scale of these

			Respond to hate with love.
