[3:30]Alan brother Ahmed.

[4:01]Thank you.

[4:02]That was a beautiful recitation.

[4:03]May Allah bless you.

[4:06]So today we have the majus of Faty and inshallah Hassan is

[4:13]on his way.

[4:15]He's going to be here inshallah.

[4:18]My dear brothers and sisters, as you know, we are living in

[4:23]times that are difficult and especially for the Muslims, for the Muslim

[4:30]community.

[4:28]Just last week, we saw a protest against Islam in Dearbornne and

[4:35]the Quran is threatening to be burned.

[4:38]They're threatening to burn the Quran and there are always you see

[4:42]attacks against Islam and Muslims.

[4:47]And sometimes this brings us down.

[4:49]We feel why are we always targeted?

[4:51]Why is this always happening to us?

[4:53]But in life there are good days and there are bad days.

[5:00]There are ups and downs.

[4:59]And this is what we learn from the holy prophet.

[5:07]He endured.

[5:08]He remained steadfast.

[5:09]He remained strong.

[5:09]He never gave up.

[5:12]When he was in Mecca, he would be targeted and attacked and

[5:15]assaulted, verbal assault, physical assault.

[5:19]But the prophet never gave up.

[5:22]The prophet stayed strong.

[5:23]He stayed resilient and eventually good days began to come.

[5:29]You know when the prophet migrated from Mecca to Medina only a

[5:35]handful of people you could count them in your hand you could

[5:39]count them maybe several several maybe 30 40 people less than 100

[5:45]people had become Muslim after 13 years of delivering that message.

[5:49]But then he migrated and the difficulties continued and continued.

[5:54]But a day came.

[5:58]Allah says in the Quran when the victory from God comes and

[6:13]you see people joining the religion in flocks.

[6:17]So when you see that what do you do?

[6:21]Glorify your Lord and thank Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and ask Allah

[6:35]for forgiveness because God is the all forgiving.

[6:37]So my dear brothers and sisters, this is life.

[6:42]Some days are difficult, some days get better.

[6:45]We are faced with challenges.

[6:46]We are faced with difficulties in life.

[6:49]But we as Muslims, we have to persist.

[6:53]We have to remain strong.

[6:54]We should never give up and we will see greater days.

[6:59]Today my dear brothers and sisters while we are commemorating the martyrdom

[7:07]of Fatham we have a brother Larnell who is ready to declare

[7:13]his shahada and he is ready to declare that he is joining

[7:17]the message of Islam.

[7:20]And this shows us that yes, you see difficult days, you see

[7:25]Islam targeted, but Islam because it's the message of the truth, because

[7:29]it's the word of God, because it's the religion of justice, you

[7:35]see that Islam will continue to grow.

[7:38]And yes, as Islam grows, you will see more targeting of Muslims.

[7:41]And you're going because that's what happens with a successful with with

[7:45]something that's successful.

[7:45]You see that it is targeted.

[7:47]So inshallah before Alaj Hassan and I want everyone to do a

[7:54]loud salawat for the Hajj who has just joined us.

[8:01]>> Thank you.

[8:03]I ask brother Larnell to come up and tell us about his

[8:09]journey that brought him to where he is right now and how

[8:11]he is ready to declare his shahada and declare his Islam.

[8:18]and then inshallah he can um he can say the shahada on

[8:21]this blessed night.

[8:24]Brother Lo, go ahead.

[8:25]>> How how's everyone doing?

[8:29]>> Well, um people ask me am I converting to Islam?

[8:37]I say I'm reverting because the way we came in this world,

[8:43]we all submitted to God.

[8:45]Um I with my family went Christian and after studying the Bible

[8:56]and the Quran, I found inconsistencies in the Bible and that led

[9:02]me to the Quran.

[9:04]So there's the Quran hasn't been um deviated from like the Bible

[9:17]has.

[9:18]And I seek truth and Islam is the truth.

[9:21]>> Alhamdulillah.

[9:23]>> May Allah bless you brother.

[9:28]Today inshallah you are joining this beautiful religion that millions and billions

[9:33]of people have joined.

[9:33]And as I told you when we were speaking in the room

[9:38]that Islam is a religion for everyone.

[9:41]Today when you become a Muslim, you are just as good as

[9:43]a Muslim as everyone else in the room.

[9:46]Whether you were born as a Muslim or whether you revert to

[9:51]Islam, we all go back to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

[9:52]And that is finding the truth.

[9:55]So alhamdulillah, we thank Allah subhanana wa ta'ala for this guidance and

[10:00]we thank Allah for having a new brother that is joining the

[10:06]Muslim community.

[10:05]So now inshallah I will say the shahada and you could repeat

[10:10]after me.

[10:09]I'll say it in English and in Arabic inshallah.

[10:11]You say [clears throat] I bear witness >> I bear witness >>

[10:17]that there is no god >> that there is no god >>

[10:20]other than Allah >> other than Allah >> and I bear witness

[10:23]>> and I bear witness >> that prophet Muhammad >> that prophet

[10:28]Muhammad >> is the messenger of God >> is the messenger of

[10:32]God.

[10:34]illuhammed >> muhamadanasoolah >> mashallah you have joined the message of Islam

[10:51]you have joined the religion of Islam now we spoke about this

[10:56]in the room and I told him we are not pressuring but

[10:59]you are choosing this you you chose to become a Muslim and

[11:05]you could choose who you would like to follow after the prophet

[11:07]>> Ali >> you would like to follow Ali.

[11:13]Okay.

[11:10]>> So, so we will just add this brief statement.

[11:16]This is not a part of the shahada but this completes the

[11:22]imm.

[11:20]>> You say Brother Larnell, may Allah bless you.

[11:38]Welcome.

[11:38]Welcome to Islam.

[11:40]May Allah bless everyone.

[11:41]Please do a loud salawat for brother Larnel.

[11:44]>> And this is a small prayer m just to pray on.

[11:49]May Allah bless you.

[11:52]Okay.

[11:53]Haj, would you like to just welcome?

[11:59]Congratulation again, brother Darnell.

[12:16]Albdu al-Mans must >> Brothers and sisters, tonight we gather under the

[12:47]shadow of sorrow to honor the lady of light, the wife of

[12:55]Ali, the daughter, the daughter of Muhammad, the wife of Ali, the

[12:59]mother of Hassan and Hussein.

[13:05]Yet her greatness extends beyond lineage to unmatched purity and devotion.

[13:10]Her martyrdom is not only a moment a moment of grief for

[13:18]us, but a reminder of the values she lived for.

[13:20]Truth, dignity, and unwavering faith.

[13:25]She stood for justice when few stood with her.

[13:30]Her voice still echoes in the hearts of believers.

[13:35]She raised her voice to defend the rights of and the principles

[13:45]of justice.

[13:44]Tonight, our respected speaker Hash Hassan Rajab Ali will take us in

[13:55]time to the mosque of Medina to live the moments when she

[13:59]shook down the establishment of her time with the sermon of Fedak.

[14:08]a timeless example of wisdom, eloquence, and steadfastness in faith.

[14:15]May our gathering tonight be worthy of her name, her memory, and

[14:20]her light.

[14:29]We ask you to remove the bala and the hardship from the

[14:36]sh of Fatima in Lebanon these days and everywhere around the world.

[14:42]Brothers and sisters, inshallah, our program tonight is going to be similar

[14:47]to the program last night.

[14:48]We are going to have a lecture will be followed with short

[14:54]latmas and uh inshallah if the time permits we will have some

[14:58]Q&A.

[14:59]I also wanted to um share with you that we've started maybe

[15:06]a couple months ago doing a daily prayers and here at Mecca.

[15:09]So we would like to join us if you can.

[15:12]Uh, I also wanted to tell you that we have a sale

[15:17]today for sweatshirts, Mecca sweatshirts at $10 only.

[15:19]It used to be $40.

[15:21]We have the shirts outside.

[15:22]Let us know if you need any help with that.

[15:26]I would like to take another minute or two of your time

[15:31]to update you because I see some new faces and I went

[15:33]through this yesterday and I want to take this chance again to

[15:38]remind you of and update you of what we've building this new

[15:42]center here at Mecca.

[15:41]Uh alhamdulillah so far uh we have completed uh most of what

[15:49]the city wants.

[15:49]There's some more paperwork and permits that we have to go through.

[15:54]We are in the process of doing that and inshallah if everything

[15:57]goes fine we should be able to ground break sometime next year

[16:01]maybe around June or in the fall inshallah that all depends on

[16:07]um whether we can get the money that we need because um

[16:10]uh this is very important.

[16:11]Alhamdulillah we have been doing very good.

[16:15]Uh our goal to groundbreaking was to raise $4 million.

[16:18]Uh I know this sounds to be a large number uh but

[16:22]the good news is we have already raised $2.7 million of that

[16:26]amount.

[16:27]We are short of $1.3 million which um I believe inshallah we

[16:36]should be able to raise it uh way before we start groundbreaking

[16:39]inshallah because just to give you an example only this month we've

[16:43]raised more than $400,000.

[16:45]So this community is so generous and this community alhamdulillah believes in

[16:49]this project and um in a night like this I ask you

[16:55]all for the love of Fatim to support us to donate because

[17:01]this is what she wanted.

[17:02]She wanted her uh Shia to do the for every and everywhere

[17:09]uh everywhere they live.

[17:10]And alhamdulillah we have a good community here and we want to

[17:14]make sure that we continue the of and as imam said uh

[17:23]if you would like to donate you can always see me you

[17:26]can see one of the brothers here and inshallah we should be

[17:28]able to help you and if you're not ready today we have

[17:32]a website that you can go for and you find all the

[17:37]information and inshallah uh we ask Allah to accept your amal and

[17:41]your donations.

[17:43]Uh without further ado, I would like to welcome um Haj Hassan

[17:47]to the podium after Father, huh?

[18:45]Alhamdulillah.

[18:47]Alhamdulillah.

[18:53]Alhamdulillah.

[19:19]Subhanahu wa ta'ala.

[19:35]>> [clears throat] >> I begin in Allah's name the beneficent, the

[19:42]merciful and thank Allah for giving us this life and considering us

[19:48]worthy to be tested and to represent him on this earth as

[19:52]the kafa on earth for all of us are kafa in our

[19:57]limited uh perspectives and of course Allah appoints khalifas only he appoints

[20:02]khalifas by the way no human being can appoint a khalifa of

[20:07]Allah so anybody who proposes anything else is in violation gross violation

[20:12]of the principles of the Quran and tonight when we speak about

[20:16]the injustices that were meed out to the family of the prophet

[20:21]in particular Fatima Alisam the fatima of the daughter of the holy

[20:26]prophet Alasam Muhammad Muhammad.

[20:30]>> We will see the results that when human beings interfere in

[20:35]the religion of God, we see the outcome of what happens to

[20:38]humanity.

[20:39]We go through hell.

[20:43]We cause hell upon ourselves.

[20:44]And nobody pays a heavier price when people reject the commandments of

[20:49]God than the agents of God.

[20:50]For nobody has been punished more in the annals of history than

[20:56]the prophets and the imams that were chosen by God.

[20:58]And all of those happened because people rejected the commandments of God.

[21:03]And unfortunately the first people in line that got attacked and hurt

[21:07]and killed and butchered and dismembered were the uh the prophets and

[21:14]the family of the prophets.

[21:15]You will find that this is a classic problem.

[21:18]And when Shayan promised Allah that I will cause disunityity on this

[21:22]earth, it is very clear his modus appares disunityity in when Allah

[21:29]describes how he's going to create mankind made out of black mud.

[21:34]For example, you know, I'm going to create I'm going to create

[21:42]a human being out of black mud.

[21:43]And Allah says bow to this Adam.

[21:46]Now notice the command is to bow to Adam not to Allah.

[21:52]Okay?

[21:53]You will find that those who pretend to worship Allah only and

[21:57]reject the commandments of Allah are no different than shan who pretended

[22:00]to worship God and rejected Allah because God should have actually rewarded

[22:05]him for refusing to bow to Adam.

[22:07]He should you know because Allah would have said okay you're refusing

[22:12]to bow to a human being you only bow to me.

[22:13]But how ignorant and stupid is mankind that the authority of God

[22:19]is what matters.

[22:18]And when God decrees a matter, we have to submit to it.

[22:25]It is the divine rule of God.

[22:26]And many of us want to put ourselves in front of God

[22:31]if not ahead of God.

[22:31]When Allah says, Say, are you teaching God your religion?

[22:52]When God knows what is in the skies in the earth, they

[23:02]think they've done you a favor by becoming Muslims.

[23:05]Like as if when somebody became a Muslim, they look at God

[23:08]and the prophet and the imams and say, "I've done you a

[23:13]favor by becoming a Muslim." How stupid and how ignorant is that?

[23:17]That is exactly the mentality of El.

[23:19]For whenl fell, he told God, "I worshiped you." Like as if

[23:24]he did a favor to God.

[23:25]Whereas Allah doesn't need anybody's favor.

[23:27]For Allah does not need anybody's worship.

[23:30][snorts] God is not in need.

[23:34]Period.

[23:33]exclamation point.

[23:36]But many of times we find that within this transient world which

[23:43]is so temporal and it really baffles me when I see the

[23:46]human being holding on to this world like it's an eternal world

[23:52]where everybody around you dies and you have to die.

[23:57]Even an atheist cannot reject that death is imminent.

[23:59]And yet we're holding on to this world.

[24:02]As I mentioned yesterday, the only people who hold on to this

[24:07]world under those contexts when they see everybody dying around them is

[24:11]that they don't believe there's a life after this life.

[24:12]Otherwise, it's impossible.

[24:15]They don't believe in God.

[24:16]They don't believe in a maker.

[24:18]They believe in accidental relationships and realities.

[24:22]And tonight, we need to discuss the commandments of Allah.

[24:27]When they are obeyed, it brings harmony and it brings peace and

[24:32]tranquility on earth.

[24:35]Today we are run by despots and oligarchs and billionaires who are

[24:39]evil to the core.

[24:40]They are they have no empathy.

[24:43]They are cruel.

[24:44]Their cruelty has no limitations.

[24:48]That the annihilation of the entire human race as far as they're

[24:54]concerned.

[24:51]Like Bill Gates is busy eliminating the human race.

[24:56]He said we should lose a billion people.

[24:58]It's good for us, for the economy.

[25:01]These are godless people.

[25:03]They claim that they give charity.

[25:07]What charity?

[25:08]John Perkins writes a book that's called Hoodwin.

[25:10]And in the end he notes the Bill Gates and Melinda Foundation

[25:15]including the the money that was given by Warren Buffett and all

[25:22]those participants has caused more damage to humans than good.

[25:27]They've invested in rubber, in poisonous materials to make more money because

[25:32]all these foundations that have been created are tax write-offs and they're

[25:36]designed to give them control with this facade that they are philanthropic

[25:42]when in fact they're evil to the core.

[25:44]For true philanthropy has no desire for recipro reciprocity.

[25:50]There's no remuneration.

[25:52]When Allah says you know Allahh says righteousness is not until you

[26:05]give with that which you love most and there should be no

[26:07]expectation like as I mentioned yesterday when Fatima when she gave charity

[26:12]to the poor to the orphan and the wayfarer she all prophets

[26:24]say the prophet is telling me in the 42nd chapter verse 23

[26:31]that Allah is saying to the prophet when the messenger established Islam

[26:36]in its finality and took these pagans who were so lost and

[26:40]jahil the khaz tribes were so jahil in Medina the Meccans were

[26:49]so jahil they were so ignorant they who are wilder than the

[26:56]wild west.

[26:55]And the messenger civilized them and brought them to an upright position.

[27:02]And they came to the messenger said, "You've done a great thing

[27:06]for us.

[27:07]What reward can we give you?" Now, it's very interesting in the

[27:12]Quran when there's a negation followed by an exception.

[27:15]My brother today who recited the shahad attain including the shahad of

[27:24]alim you know it's so wonderful to see that it's so calming

[27:27]you know it's so full of hope that while the world is

[27:32]trying to offiscate the truth at the grassroots level people are becoming

[27:37]believers and among the genders the women are becoming faster believers than

[27:41]the men you know statistically because when you look at the society

[27:47]today the levels of injustice you will see that Islam is the

[27:55]only reality that takes us towards the truth everything else is a

[27:59]fabricated lie as I mentioned yesterday 100,000 plus religions on earth all

[28:05]fabricated by human beings except one in Islam in which God has

[28:11]preserved and prescribed and when we analyze it even on a curse

[28:14]cursory level.

[28:15]You don't have to go deep.

[28:16]People say, "How do you know your school is right?

[28:18]Your religion is right.

[28:19]How do you know that?" It's very cursory.

[28:22]You just have to touch a few points and you'll be stunned

[28:26]by its beauty.

[28:26]Forget about going deep into it.

[28:28]If you want to go deep, it's it's a fantastic journey.

[28:32]But many of us don't do that.

[28:36]Many of us live by the day.

[28:39]We're very surface Muslims.

[28:38]We hope that God agrees with us.

[28:42]There's no real swear equity of what we call cogitation, meditation, introspection.

[28:48]Allah says they reflect while standing, sitting, lying on their sides wondering

[29:01]how God created this spectacular universe and understanding the the message behind

[29:08]it.

[29:06]And those who were reverting to Islam were resonating Islam from birth.

[29:13]You know when Mahmud Abdul Rahu also originally known as Chris Jackson,

[29:20]he resonated Islam.

[29:20]When I talk to him, he tells me I knew something was

[29:26]not right.

[29:25]Hindus know that something is not right when they go to the

[29:30]temples.

[29:31]Jews know it's not right when they when they worship a god

[29:35]that is biased in one group against another and jama nails it

[29:40]you know nails it when you look at the social political problems

[29:44]of the world today subhan allah how the Quran addresses the diseases

[29:50]that even a surgeon cannot be that precise that's how precise the

[29:56]Quran is when it attacks the problems the problem with us is

[30:00]we Don't meditate, reflect and cogitate on what Allah is saying to

[30:03]us.

[30:04]You see, and the prophet will complain on judgment.

[30:10]My lord, I complain to you that my community ignored this book.

[30:16]They took it for a light value.

[30:18]So, let's indulge.

[30:20]Forget about what the world has to say.

[30:23]When you and I leave this world, nobody's joining us in the

[30:26]grave.

[30:27]Please let's wake up on this.

[30:30]This is the reality.

[30:30]Many of us are looking for accolades and how many likes and

[30:35]how many people in the world love me and how famous am

[30:37]I and how good do I look.

[30:44]Look good, be rich, be smart, but do it not for yourself.

[30:47]enough when he refused to bow he said I will create friction

[30:58]let's go in history and see which community paid the highest price

[31:01]in the human race the darkkinned people they paid the biggest price

[31:09]the most oppressed people on earth are darker skinned people why do

[31:13]you think that is you think darker skinned people are not good-looking.

[31:17]You think that they're not smart?

[31:21]You know, the first books in the annals of history was found

[31:26]in Africa.

[31:26]The most advanced human race in the early annals of history was

[31:34]in Africa.

[31:33]Our mother comes from Africa.

[31:37]If you study the mitochondrial Eve theory which our mitochondria is all

[31:42]the DNA in the mitochondria is inherited exclusively from our mothers which

[31:47]is matrinal and it's very easy to trace the human race.

[31:50]This human race that you and I are the bunny Adam all

[31:54]come from one woman in Africa.

[31:56]Even the white supremacist you know starts getting furious starts turning red.

[32:03][snorts] I wonder who's colored.

[32:07][laughter] When you deprive them of oxygen, they turn yellow and they're

[32:10]about to die.

[32:12]They turn blue and then they call the other people colored.

[32:16]Shaitan said, "I will go after that." In India, let me give

[32:21]you a quick history.

[32:21]India had a cast system and the Brahmans who were originally invaded

[32:27]by the Aryans of the white race.

[32:29]The same Aryan race that Hitler was trying to promote Islamic Republic

[32:34]the Iran the Persian Empire was known as the Aryan Empire.

[32:38]Hitler all promote this Aryan race the white race.

[32:43]It's a very fascinating history.

[32:44]Look at the hand of Shaitan and then we'll discuss another motus

[32:50]of Shayan when it comes to and the trouble Fatima suffered.

[32:56]The Hindus took over as you know India after the Aryans took

[33:01]over they created a cast system where the Brahman is the highest

[33:07]in the cast and they're the lightest of the skin and they're

[33:13]the most privileged sound similar here in America white supremacy why is

[33:20]it so prevalent in the world his in history go back in

[33:25]history thousands of years same problem because Shan is behind all of

[33:29]them.

[33:30]But remember when Shayan refused to bow to Adam though he worshiped

[33:33]Allah for thousands of years some people say 6 7 thousand years

[33:39]in one stroke Allah condemned him and said go to hell and

[33:42]I will curse you.

[33:44]You think you and I can walk pontificating with stiff necks thinking

[33:47]that we're chosen people of God and have different treatment on judgment

[33:53]day for God is just across the board.

[33:55]By what standard can you and I walk around with such arrogance

[33:58]that we defy the commandments of God?

[34:02]Tell me.

[34:02]In India, what happened is that the Hindus established a cast system.

[34:08]So the darkest one was of the lowest and that sickness.

[34:11]Think about it.

[34:13]You're literally stabbing yourself by creating a cast system.

[34:16]You're stabbing yourself.

[34:17]Then the Mughal Empire came.

[34:20]The Muslim Empire came and the Mughal Empire eradicated this cast system,

[34:25]removed it and said no more casts.

[34:29]So India started to thrive.

[34:34]India's economy was the largest in the world.

[34:35]Their GDP was larger than any country in the world.

[34:38]India, it was the most raped, the most robbed by the colonials,

[34:42]especially the British.

[34:45]Today, you see these princes and kings living wearing those nice fancy

[34:51]crowns.

[34:52]Queen Elizabeth, it's all stolen from India.

[34:55]A bunch of crooks, thieves, like the French.

[34:57]They live off African blood.

[34:59]They have robbed all the resources from Africa.

[35:02]They walk around pontificating like they're so advanced.

[35:07]These people didn't even know how to wash themselves.

[35:08]When they found the Muslims having irrigation and water systems, they wouldn't

[35:12]take baths for a whole year for years.

[35:15]Some historians say Queen Elizabeth didn't take a bath except twice in

[35:19]her life.

[35:20]Once when she was born and the second time when she got

[35:22]married.

[35:22]Can you imagine the stench they must have had?

[35:26]You know why people wore capes in in Europe?

[35:30]Because they would throw, you know, their refues from out the window.

[35:34]People carried umbrellas.

[35:34]You think it's very chic to carry an umbrella in England.

[35:39]Of course, it rains a lot, but go back in history.

[35:42]Now, when the Mogul Empire came, it eradicated.

[35:43]Then when the British walked in, these thieves, the European thieves, the

[35:50]Portuguese, the Italians, the Germans, they divided Africa, divided the world, robbed

[35:58]Australia, robbed everything.

[36:00]When I look at them, honestly, I have no respect for any

[36:04]of these [clears throat] criminals.

[36:05]Although I don't generalize Europeans is bad, but I'm saying historically, even

[36:11]in this country, there were 150 million Native Americans.

[36:15]And within a short period of time, they were left with 15

[36:21]million.

[36:22]So technically, there were 175 million because of birth.

[36:27]So they eliminated massive amount 125 million people.

[36:34]Think about just wiping them out.

[36:36]That's the history of the of the work of Shayan, the devil.

[36:42]When the British came, they heard that the Hindus had this cast

[36:47]system and it was based on the white race.

[36:51]They looked and they said, "We're the whitest.

[36:53]We're whiter than them.

[36:57]Perfect.

[36:58]We're going to put the cast system back.

[37:01]And you know that the British reinstituted the cast system in India.

[37:04]And Shayan says by your authority I will beguile them all.

[37:12]You look at the world today.

[37:16]All the problems they stem from this.

[37:18]The gender inequality.

[37:19]Once again Shayan says I'll divide and conquer.

[37:22]divide the male from the female, the female from the male, and

[37:26]then let one dominate the other.

[37:30]The British did that, the Romans did that, the Persians did that.

[37:37]Any superpower in the world ruled people on the principles of divide

[37:43]and conquer.

[37:41]where Allah says hold on to the rope of Allah together and

[37:50]don't deviate don't differentiate don't go away from the rope of Allah

[38:04]the believers are brothers bury your differences so that more mercy and

[38:12]and Piety comes in your direction and mercy.

[38:14]You think we will have mercy if we dispute against each other

[38:19]on petty things.

[38:20]But all of this comes when bad leadership takes power.

[38:25]When the British came, they were bad leaders.

[38:29]They reinstituted an evil system which then the people became victims of.

[38:33]I want you to understand that the which Allah appointed upon the

[38:39]creation of Adam, Allah is telling me that the driving force of

[38:44]the human race's submission to God is entirely dependent on leadership.

[38:49]For Allahh is telling me that the first command he laid for

[38:56]the human race to existentially live on this earth is leadership.

[39:02]you remove leadership, you have a problem.

[39:04]Today in the world, we all suffer because of bad leadership.

[39:09]So let's describe this briefly and you will see.

[39:11]And tonight I want to also touch briefly on modesty.

[39:16]For Fatima to me represents modesty.

[39:20]Islam is a religion of modesty.

[39:24]Now if you ever look at enemies of Islam, they hate when

[39:29]women wear hijab.

[39:30]They hate when men don't indulge in rampant sexual misdeeds.

[39:36]They don't like it when God says say to the believing men

[39:42]that they lower their eyes.

[39:42]They don't like that.

[39:45]They want you to be impulsive because the capitalist idea is about

[39:49]impulsiveness so that those billionaires become richer.

[39:52]like Rockefeller instituted the American um if you look at he actually

[39:57]set up the medical association American medical association was founded by people

[40:02]like John D.

[40:06]Rockefeller and they took all natural paths of health and they canled

[40:12]them and demoralized them and brought their system and today we're all

[40:18]suffering from very high medical costs.

[40:21]The pharmaceutical companies are exempt exempt from ever being sued.

[40:26]Think about that.

[40:26]This was an edict that was signed in Congress that prevents anybody

[40:32]from suing pharmaceutical companies when they make vaccines.

[40:34]And if it kills an entire population, you cannot sue them.

[40:41]Today they have such impunity, such immunity that it's absolutely, you know,

[40:48]that the capitalist system has put us under this terrible yoke that

[40:54]it's so difficult.

[40:56]If you study the five drugs, there are five drugs that are

[40:59]most detrimental to the human race.

[41:01]Fentinil is one of them.

[41:05]Crystal meth is another.

[41:06]on the top of the list, you'll be shocked.

[41:09]That kills most people, that does the most damage to the human

[41:16]body because each one that damages more organs is considered worse.

[41:20]It's called alcohol.

[41:22]Did you notice it is exempt from the FDA?

[41:27]It has no regulations.

[41:29]Because when the Europeans came to this country and the prohibition was

[41:34]in this country where alcohol was forbidden, subhan Allah, it was the

[41:39]women who fought for the prohibition.

[41:42]But the Europeans, the Irish, the Germans, they drink so much alcohol,

[41:48]it's their life.

[41:50]And then they made sure they brought it here.

[41:53]And today you go to supermarkets, you know, you want to buy

[41:59]cookies, one aisle.

[41:58]You want hard liquor?

[42:01]Four aisles.

[42:02]Like why?

[42:04]Four aisles for hard liquor.

[42:05]Like you know you you eat potato chips, it's one aisle.

[42:10]But alcohol, four idles.

[42:13]Can't get enough.

[42:13]Can't get enough brands and wine and just stuff them.

[42:17]But when you go back in history, you find that the legalization

[42:20]of this came even from biblical perspectives that the first miracle of

[42:25]Jesus in the in the Bible was he turned water into wine.

[42:29]And yet the man who baptized Jesus, Yahb Zakaria, who they call

[42:36]John the Baptist, shall touch no wine and he shall be a

[42:38]great man.

[42:39]Like get it right, please.

[42:40]Which one is it?

[42:42]This one or that one?

[42:42]It's like a married bachelor.

[42:45]I don't know.

[42:47]I'm so my head is so spinning.

[42:49]And Il says, "Exactly.

[42:52]That's what I promise God.

[42:53]That's what I will do.

[42:53]I'll confuse you guys so much that you will cherrypick whatever you

[42:59]want and then you'll be on my side because no matter what

[43:00]you do, you will be destructive." Because the minute you go away

[43:06]from Allah, you become destructive.

[43:08]It's just the law of God.

[43:09]So alcohol is such a detrimental thing.

[43:12]Islam is the only religion that categorically forbids alcohol.

[43:16]The Jews, the Christians, the Hindus, the Buddhists.

[43:18]No major religion on earth today categorically forbids alcohol.

[43:23]Cursory observation of which religion is right.

[43:26]That what is the most damaging to the human mind, to the

[43:31]human body, to the human society, the human family.

[43:34]And then we legalize it.

[43:37]And now we don't even have regulations on it because the minute

[43:41]you put it under the FDA rule now you have to regulate

[43:45]it.

[43:44]You need a prescription to drink it.

[43:46]Legalize it.

[43:48]This was done biblic biblically also because when you go into Leviticus

[43:52]in the Old Testament, God says the flesh of swine is forbidden

[43:59]upon you.

[43:57]It's filthy.

[43:59]Do not touch it.

[44:00]Alcohol is also forbidden.

[44:02]But when Paul came who never saw Jesus and becomes a saint

[44:12]who killed Christians became a saint.

[44:16]We have the same problem in Islam.

[44:21]When they became khalifas they were drunkards they were debaucherers they were

[44:23]murderers.

[44:25]They were pedophiles and they like how do you say that please?

[44:32]By what standard?

[44:32]Shayan says that's my standard.

[44:34]My standard is I take the worst people and I put them

[44:41]on the pulpit and I make them represent God.

[44:43]You should watch this show called the Borgers.

[44:46]It's about the papacy.

[44:48]Go and watch how the Pope dealt with the human race.

[44:55]Honestly, it's repulsive.

[45:00]But we all shrug our shoulders.

[45:03]Now the pure Christianity which to me is the pure Islam which

[45:07]Jesus preached and the Christians of the time you want to call

[45:10]them Christians but they were Muslims had purity in this.

[45:16]They didn't indulge in in decency.

[45:18]They didn't indulge in alcohol.

[45:19]They didn't indulge in bad things.

[45:21]And they never ate pork.

[45:25]Paul in his writings to the Greeks said everything is legal for

[45:29]you.

[45:30]He basically wiped out the laws of God.

[45:31]Even when he came to celibacy, he says, you know, God didn't

[45:36]say, Jesus didn't say it.

[45:37]That's in his writings, by the way, in the Bible.

[45:40]He says, God didn't say, Jesus didn't say it.

[45:44]I say it.

[45:43]Subhan Allah.

[45:45]Who are you?

[45:45]Well, I saw Jesus in a dream, so I'm a saint.

[45:50]And everybody accepts it, right?

[45:54]Two billion people pretty much echo this like, uh-huh.

[45:57]Uh-huh.

[45:58]And I'm looking I said, "You're a PhD.

[46:02]You go to IV schools.

[46:06]You're brilliant." And you accept this.

[46:08]Allah says, "What happened to your mind?" I'm telling you our fear

[46:17]that when someone threatens me with hell, even if he gives me

[46:22]the most ridiculous story which is so pagan and if it gives

[46:24]me a little consolation that that's my security, we hold on to

[46:31]it even if it's a lie.

[46:32]Tonight I want to expose some of these.

[46:35]Fatima Ali was a daughter of the prophet.

[46:40]After the battle of Kaibar, the messenger as you know defeated Imam

[46:46]Ali Alisam actually was the one who demolished the the the Jewish

[46:54]tribe in Medina and soon after the Jews agreed to come to

[46:58]they came to an agreement with the prophet.

[47:00]It's called fay in Islamic law where the when they when they

[47:06]violate or they where they give up their right they expedate themselves

[47:10]by giving something as an expression that we're agreeing to this agreement.

[47:15]Fedak was a very large property.

[47:22]They were there were um fortresses in them.

[47:24]Wasn't just a small property.

[47:28]It crossed rivers.

[47:27]It crossed you know divides.

[47:32]It was a huge piece of property.

[47:33]Now I want you to understand that when the Jews agreed they

[47:40]gave this land to the messenger it belonged entirely to the holy

[47:45]prophet.

[47:46]Now watch.

[47:45]Don't we say?

[47:48]Of course.

[47:50]Are we are we commanded to obey the messenger?

[47:53]Yes.

[47:54]In fact, if we disobey the messenger, we disobey Allah.

[47:56]For anybody who says, "I believe in God but not in the

[48:00]prophet is not a Muslim is an enemy of God.

[48:05]To reject the holy prophet is rejecting Allah." Period.

[48:08]Allah in the Quran categorically states the prophet has greater right on

[48:20]the believers than they have on themselves.

[48:21]Please understand this.

[48:24]And it baffles me how the human race can be so driven

[48:27]by holding on to the religion of their forefathers when Allah says

[48:46]when they told why don't you follow what God has revealed they

[48:52]said No, we follow the religion of our forefathers.

[48:54]And I must say this unequivocally to all of us, even those

[48:58]of us are in this room with all due respect.

[49:00]Most of us follow Islam and the school of thought we follow

[49:06]is because we were born in it.

[49:08]So we're no different than the people of other religions.

[49:11]But what Allah will hold us liable on judgment day is that

[49:14]when you held on to this religion, did you validate it?

[49:20]And if you and I don't validate it and feel comfortable in

[49:24]pointing fingers at every other religion because we think we're so right,

[49:28]then Allah will hold us in contempt.

[49:31]So we should not think that because we're in the right religion

[49:35]or right uh faith that we should look down on people of

[49:38]other religions.

[49:39]That's not the objective of this conversation.

[49:42]But the objective of this conversation and I this message is to

[49:47]the entire human race not only to the Muslims that look around

[49:50]figure things out and don't be foolish because death awaits us and

[49:57]let's maximize our life on this earth for the hereafter and certainly

[50:00]let's not be foolish in thinking that this was an accidental life

[50:04]and that when we do follow the principles of God look at

[50:11]the dean that when my brother was asked asked you know which

[50:14]school of thought do you want to follow?

[50:16]People say what school Islam in.

[50:17]No, no, no, no.

[50:20]There are five major schools.

[50:21]As I mentioned yesterday, the other four schools of thought were ratified

[50:25]interestingly by immed.

[50:28]It's very interesting you know in the sun jama school you have

[50:33]khalifun are four.

[50:32]Did you know that they didn't exist four?

[50:35]There were no rashidun that were four.

[50:38]Only two were rashidon according to muawya.

[50:42]When the fourth Imam came much later I im Ahmed Ibn Hal

[50:49]he incorporated the four Khalifas Oman and Ali as Rashidon it wasn't

[50:53]there in the time of the prophet prophet never mentioned Rashidon of

[50:56]four and there'll be four in fact the hadith that's unanimous in

[51:01]all the schools is there will be 12 after me there will

[51:04]be 12 khalifas over you 12 it's mentioned in the Bible it's

[51:08]mentioned in the Old Testament the Jews know it the Christians know

[51:12]Everybody knows it.

[51:14]12.

[51:15]We follow 12 chosen representatives of God.

[51:20]We are the only people on earth who follow 12.

[51:24]Nobody else follows 12.

[51:25]I mean cursory observation, alcohol, pork.

[51:30]How about hijab?

[51:32]Modesty.

[51:33]Jews and Christians used to wear hijab.

[51:37]They gave it up.

[51:40]Some of us here, unfortunately, brothers and sisters, put pressure on each

[51:44]other that this veil should go out.

[51:47]You know, it's too conspicuous.

[51:50]I'm going to touch on this briefly right now, but before I

[51:55]go there, the modesty in Islam is what's being challenged the most.

[52:00]Now, what is modesty?

[51:59]Is it hijab?

[52:02]No.

[52:03]Modesty is balance in everything.

[52:06]Equity, no extremity.

[52:11]maintain the balance.

[52:14]Don't tilt it.

[52:14]Hijab is a balance.

[52:17]It's when you remove it or you are against it, you're tilting

[52:25]it.

[52:25]Let's not be foolish about it.

[52:28]It's And one thing that's interesting in the five schools of thought,

[52:32]we all unanimously agree on the hijab.

[52:35]We all unanimously agree on the five daily prayers.

[52:38]This is what Imam Ali Alisam was fighting for.

[52:42]He said, "I will maintain the overall trajectory of Islam for the

[52:47]enemy wants to cut this baby called Islam into half." Just like

[52:53]when Sulaman Alisam, Imam Ali Alisam was two mothers came claiming that

[52:56]they are both the mothers of this child and Imam said, "Are

[53:01]you sure both of you are mothers?" No two mothers can deliver

[53:03]one child.

[53:05]So Imam says, "Bring me a sword.

[53:07]I will cut this baby in half and I'll give one half

[53:11]to one mother and the other half to the other mother." And

[53:12]the real mother said, "No, let her have the baby." And Imm

[53:18]says, "Subhan Allah, you're the real mother." This was the of They

[53:24]wanted to cut Islam in half.

[53:28]And Imm says, "It's okay.

[53:29]let them take it but I will guide it from behind it

[53:33]for if they cut it in half they will kill the baby.

[53:35]So the true mother of Islam was [groaning] >> modesty.

[53:48]When people ask you what is Islam, tell them Islam is a

[53:53]balance.

[53:51]It's a religion of balance.

[53:54]It teaches me how to live on this earth in a balanced

[53:56]way.

[53:57]For when you have harmony, you have balance.

[54:00]When you have equity, you have balance.

[54:03]When you have justice, you have balance.

[54:05]without balance.

[54:07]When you tip the balance, you create problems.

[54:11]So look at inah surah number 23.

[54:15]Allah saysman, Subhan Allah.

[54:36]How elegant these verses are.

[54:47]Wow.

[54:48]Look at you will never find such sentences anywhere in any library

[54:55]in the world.

[54:58]Honestly, and I'm not speaking in a conjectural way.

[55:04]Even when I pre present this in front of academicians and scholars,

[55:10]they're stunned by its beauty.

[55:17]Look at the balance of I'll just I'll translate very quickly.

[55:26]I'm just going to touch on this because I don't have time.

[55:30]But here Allahh is successful indeed are the believers who are humble

[55:34]in their prayers.

[55:37]Here is you know God.

[55:37]You are his servant and you do whatever he tells you and

[55:42]you love him so much that when you enter prayer it's not

[55:45]because you're afraid to go to hell.

[55:47]Nor do you pray because you want high stations of paradise.

[55:51]You go to prayer because you love God.

[55:54]He is so merciful that you could just not exhaust his mercy

[56:00]and you're so in love with it that the ru and sujud

[56:05]becomes a love relationship.

[56:07]It's like hugging somebody you love.

[56:09]You just don't want to let go.

[56:13]They're humble in prayers who keep away from that which is vain.

[56:24]Allah says in paradise no vain talk in paradise.

[56:38]Peace.

[56:39]Peace.

[56:37]That's what God wants for us on earth.

[56:41]They are the givers of the poor rate.

[56:42]They give charity.

[56:44]They're not hoarders.

[56:45]They don't think they're money like the billionaires today who are becoming

[56:48]trillionaires like Elon Musk who names his children after equations.

[56:55]Not him.

[56:56]These guys don't know what's up and down.

[56:59]Honestly, one minute they are hugging their nemesis like Trump and the

[57:02]next thing they're throwing darts at each other.

[57:06]They are psychotic.

[57:08]Cuckoo.

[57:08]You think this guy's a trillionaire and tomorrow he's going to be

[57:12]a three trillionaire, four trillionaire.

[57:15]Like what's the limit?

[57:15]But Sulleman was richer than all trillionaires put together.

[57:19]But he was balanced.

[57:22]That Sullean was such a worshipper that as rich as he was,

[57:26]as much as he controlled the the the wind, he controlled the

[57:29]creatures.

[57:30]The creatures spoke to him, he knew their language.

[57:35]Sullean richer than all these rich people put together.

[57:37]Was so balanced that he used to worship Allah in the dark

[57:41]of the night by putting his hand behind his back and would

[57:46]say, all night.

[57:46]Forgive me, my lord.

[57:49]Forgive me.

[57:48]He never let that wealth get into his head.

[57:52]Because when you have God, even if you're a pentillionaire, you'll be

[57:57]balanced.

[57:58]And if you have no money, you'll be balanced.

[58:02]That's how was then Allah subhana t says they guard their private

[58:14]parts.

[58:15]Today what's the driving force of our economy?

[58:16]Pornography, lwdness, drunkenness, debauchery.

[58:25]where people talk about their girlfriends and then they hang out with

[58:29]them and then they have kids with these girlfriends and then their

[58:35]kids eventually they decide to get married after 20 years.

[58:39]So you got an 18-year-old attending dad's wedding with mom.

[58:43]Pathetic.

[58:46]Honestly, it's pathetic.

[58:48]Here Allah says they protect their private parts.

[58:53]They hide except before their mates, their Allah gives condition who's the

[58:59]ones they married to for they are not to be blamed.

[59:01]But whoever seeks to go beyond this, they have exceeded the limits.

[59:06]Whoever goes beyond this, they have exceeded the limits.

[59:10]And those who are the keepers of trusts and their covenant, she

[59:15]made a covenant.

[59:20]That is that is the point.

[59:23]Islam is a religion of balance.

[59:26]We learn balance from the prophet and his daughter.

[59:29]She is the female prophet of Islam.

[59:34]When we want to learn womanhood, you have to look at her.

[59:38]She's the chosen woman that represents humanity.

[59:42]Tonight we commemorate her departure and it was a very sad departure

[59:51]from the perspective that she was denied rights.

[59:52]So when Faddock was given by the Jews, it was the prophet's

[59:57]property.

[59:57]And I want to stress this please for the love of God.

[59:59]When I read all of this, I feel like the human race

[60:02]is either very has a very short-term memory or it's got amnesia

[60:06]or dementia of some sort.

[60:08]I don't know something cuckoo about all this.

[60:11]Everybody's talking about inheritance.

[60:12]Inheritance.

[60:13]Inheritance.

[60:14]I I don't get it.

[60:16]Like, are you people all okay?

[60:16]Are you psychologically all right?

[60:18]People who say inheritance.

[60:22]Fatima was denied her inheritance.

[60:23]No, she wasn't denied her inheritance.

[60:26]It wasn't an inheritance.

[60:27]The prophet gave it to her when he was alive.

[60:30]You know, if your father gives you something when you're alive, he

[60:33]gives you a jacket.

[60:35]Okay?

[60:36]He buys you a jacket.

[60:36]Then when your father dies, they come and claim the jacket.

[60:39]My father gave it to me.

[60:40]It's not an inheritance.

[60:41]Inheritance is what he leaves behind that he didn't give you or

[60:46]which he wrote for you after his death.

[60:49]You don't get inheritance when your father or your mother is alive.

[60:55]So Fadak was entirely given by the holy prophet to his daughter

[61:01]Fatima.

[61:02]Please understand this.

[61:03]So it wasn't where the prophet left Faddak uncharted and then Fatima

[61:09]now had to go in front of Abu Bakr's court and claim

[61:12]the fadak.

[61:16]No.

[61:15]Now is the prophet not more important to me than myself?

[61:20]Yes.

[61:21]To all the Muslims out there, please who are listening to this,

[61:26]please wake up and look in the mirror.

[61:27]When the prophet gives you something, can you take it back?

[61:32]Allah Akbar, when he died, they took it back.

[61:38]So what did they actually say?

[61:40]That he's not the prophet.

[61:41]We don't follow him.

[61:45]You have lost your im.

[61:46]you've become a mafi.

[61:47]How dare when the prophet leaves something especially to his daughter and

[61:53]then you decry this ludicrous argument that it's that prophets don't inherit

[61:59]then obviously whoever says that including the khalifas never read the Quran

[62:03]because they want to twist the verses you know how much wealth

[62:12]fadak was producing massive they had a fear that alibi and fatim

[62:16]had access to to this wealth they could resist this usurpation of

[62:21]the kilafa so in order to silence them they took it back

[62:25]but it was God's property given to the prophet given to her

[62:31]no human being on earth has the right to take even in

[62:34]the Quran Allah says what the prophet gives you you take what

[62:39]he forbids you you don't so brothers and sisters tonight I want

[62:43]to make it very clear that there was a gross violation of

[62:48]the holy prophet's command that when fadak was taken it was a

[62:53]direct slap and attack to Allah and his prophet first of all

[62:57]now when fatalam goes and I will read briefly the the sermon

[63:03]before my time is up you will see that um you will

[63:12]see that when she puts forth her sermon at um at the

[63:17]court of Abu Bakr.

[63:18]Abu Bakr as you know usurp the kilafa and by the way

[63:23]I say user because you know what's usurpation when you take Islam

[63:29]and God didn't give it to you.

[63:30]Paul was a usurper of Christianity.

[63:34]You can't take a position when God didn't give it to you.

[63:38]Is not chosen by people.

[63:41]There is no sh in none.

[63:45]You read the entire Quran where the wordifa is there, it's preceded

[63:51]by the word means I make you.

[64:00]I make you.

[64:01]I make you.

[64:04]Who can intercede on behalf of God except by the permission of

[64:09]God?

[64:10]So those who claim that there was this gathering at Bernosa's house,

[64:14]with all due respect, please.

[64:16]Okay?

[64:17]If we want to start to cover ourselves in some white lies,

[64:22]and I'm not bashing Sunni or Shia or promoting one, this is

[64:25]the facts of the Quran.

[64:27]I don't care what school of thought you belong to because all

[64:29]five schools of thought, according to our scholars, we're all Muslims.

[64:33]Okay?

[64:34]We're all Muslims.

[64:37]Nobody dares said that they're not Muslims.

[64:39]But this has to be brought up because what led to the

[64:42]demise of this representative of Allah who Allah chose among all the

[64:46]women to be the chosen women of all women on earth and

[64:52]in the next world including her mother including Mariam Alisam and including

[64:59]Assio.

[65:00]It's a command of God.

[65:02]And the prophet said when you hurt my family you hurt me.

[65:06]me.

[65:15]I am an enemy to those who are enemies of my family

[65:19]and their flesh is my flesh.

[65:23]Their blood is my blood.

[65:29]Hussein Hussein Hussein is from me and I am from Hussein.

[65:31]On the day of Ashur, the prophet was killed.

[65:36]The holy prophet and his family was killed.

[65:39]Any Muslim who has the audacity to shrug their shoulders and belly

[65:44]this fact will answer God on judgment day for there's nothing we

[65:48]can do further than that.

[65:51]But we have to warn each other now when her right is

[65:53]taken.

[65:53]And by the way, what was she doing with that money?

[65:57]When the prophet gave it to her in his lifetime and she

[66:00]had already bequed with Imam Aliam bequithed the entire property to the

[66:05]preservation of orphans, the poor, the wayfarers that she was completely every

[66:10]dollar that was I mean every dham that was coming from that

[66:15]land was bequitted to the poor.

[66:17]Why would you take it back?

[66:19]And then they say prophets don't inherit.

[66:22]They haven't read the Quran.

[66:24]Allah says well what is the dood inherited dood in the he

[66:34]says give me an inheritor.

[66:36]Oh Allah, because Zakaria had reached an old age when Allah says,

[66:45]"I'm going to give you good news that you shall have a

[66:50]son by the name of Yah which was never given before." Does

[66:54]anybody read that?

[66:56]They say, "Well, that's inheritance of what inheritance?

[66:58]What do you inherit?

[67:00]You don't inherit profitthood.

[67:01]What's the inheritance then?" And for you and I to twist and

[67:05]turn and I'm listening to these scholars trying to make an argument

[67:09]for the khalifas.

[67:10]The only thing I can say is when you make arguments for

[67:14]those kaiffs who took the land that belonged to Allah and the

[67:17]prophet and fatim I say whoever is arguing inshallah you will be

[67:24]raised with them on judgment day.

[67:27]Wherever you are supporting inshallah you'll be with them.

[67:31]Birds of the fe same feathers will flock together.

[67:33]Whoever likes Muawa, I pray to them that God raises you with

[67:37]Muawa.

[67:38]You like anybody, whoever is your role model today, you like Trump.

[67:41]Okay, inshallah will raise you with Trump.

[67:44]People say, "But but but brother," I said, "Yeah, you know, I

[67:49]love Alib.

[67:48]I love Fatima.

[67:50]Why don't you make do Allah raises me with them?

[67:53]I'll be very honored." Now, Fatima gives an interesting.

[68:04]She goes in front of Abu Bakr and his court.

[68:06]Listen to this.

[68:08]This was she knew she's not going to get it back.

[68:11]But listen to this.

[68:13]It's fascinating history.

[68:15]She stands in the court and as you know Abu Bakr was

[68:20]there.

[68:21]Omar was there and Abu Bakr was doing the bidding of the

[68:23]second Khalifas.

[68:24]I mean it's not a secret.

[68:26]So what's interesting is that she says, "Oh Muslims, will my inheritance

[68:32]be user?" Then she looks at Abu Bakr says, "Oh son of

[68:36]Abu Kahafa, where is it in the book of God that you

[68:38]can inherit from your father and I don't inherit mine?" Now although

[68:43]why is she arguing about inheritance here by the way?

[68:46]Because they accused her of inheritance.

[68:48]So she had to use that argument.

[68:50]But I my initial argument that I brought forth I want you

[68:54]all to understand it's not an inheritance issue.

[68:56]It was a false uh accusation against her.

[69:01]So she's now defending that she and that you can hear.

[69:05]Okay.

[69:06]Surely you have come up with an unprecedented thing.

[69:07]Do you intentionally abandon the book of God and cast it behind

[69:12]your back?

[69:13]Do you not read elsewhere where it says Sulleman inherited Dawood?

[69:17]And when it narrates this the story of Zachariah, he says, "Give

[69:21]me an heir to myself and he one that will inherit me

[69:25]and inherit the posterity of Yahoo.

[69:30]But kindred by blood have prior rights against each other in the

[69:35]book of Allah.

[69:34]And if he leaves any goods that he makes a request to

[69:38]parents and next of kin according to reasonable usage, this is due

[69:41]from the pious ones." She's basically telling Abu Bakr.

[69:45]And then by the way in herb she actually tells him how

[69:48]you have usered this position of becoming a khalifa.

[69:52]She she just exposes it all out there.

[69:56]There was absolutely no reservation in her presentation in that court.

[70:00]And then of course she accused him of injustice and she said

[70:04]your ally and the muajiron.

[70:08]Shall my inheritance be rested from me in a tyrannical and oppressive

[70:14]manner for soon those who commit injustice will find out what they

[70:17]return to.

[70:19]Then she spoke to the Ansar the ones who welcome the prophet.

[70:21]He says all you people of intellect you strong supporters of the

[70:24]nation you who have embraced Islam what is this shortcoming in defending

[70:30]my right?

[70:30]What is this indifference towards the injustice being done to me?

[70:35]Did not the messenger of Allah, my father, say that man is

[70:38]preserved through his children.

[70:38]How quickly you have acted against him and how soon you have

[70:42]plotted against us.

[70:44]You have the capability to help me in my attempt and the

[70:47]power to influence my plea.

[70:50]What she was saying is rise and don't let this evil institution

[70:53]control you.

[70:55]For that's what led to Karbala.

[70:57]Finally, I want to make a there was a short exchange by

[71:00]the way in her speech and then Abu Bakr kind of felt

[71:06]remorse.

[71:03]Interesting history.

[71:05]Now, let me point a few points.

[71:08]Imam Ali Alisam says to Abu Bakr, "Had you not taken the

[71:14]and had you not usered this, Allah would have raised you well

[71:19]on judgment day, but you blew it." Imam Ali said that.

[71:25]Abu Bakr decides that the argument was very clear.

[71:29]Fatima made a great case.

[71:33]He decides to give it back to her.

[71:35]First of all, you took it.

[71:37]It wasn't yours.

[71:38]Just like the It wasn't yours.

[71:39]And I And by the way, you know why I say it's

[71:42]not theirs.

[71:42]And I asked this even people of the other four schools of

[71:47]thought.

[71:47]When did God appoint Abu Bakr the Khalifa?

[71:49]Never.

[71:50]When did Allah appoint Omar as the Khalifa?

[71:54]Never.

[71:55]When did Allah appoint as Khalifa?

[71:57]Never.

[71:58]So I don't get it.

[71:59]I guess we must be following the religion of our forefathers and

[72:05]we're stuck on it.

[72:05]But Ali is different.

[72:08]For even when you go with Shur, you find there was no

[72:11]Shur in the first three.

[72:11]The only Shur was the fourth one where the people flocked on

[72:17]Immi literally tore his shirt and said, "We remember the prophet appointing

[72:21]you, so we want you back in that position." And when he

[72:24]comes back as the fourth, the damage was so deep by the

[72:29]first three that you know fadak some historians say that Otman took

[72:33]it and gave it to Marwan.

[72:33]Marwan bin Hakam who was exiled by the prophet.

[72:38]Hakam was kicked out by the prophet.

[72:40]Marwan was kicked out by the prophet and the prophet said to

[72:42]Marwan don't ever come back to to the Muslim land.

[72:46]Kicked out.

[72:47]The third khiff brought him back.

[72:51]And guess who became the Khalifa after Yazid?

[72:55]Marwan.

[72:54]I mean, if that's not the work of the devil, what is

[72:59]it?

[72:59]Now, we're not here to hash out this issue, but I'm speaking

[73:02]of ourselves that Shayan works on us, too.

[73:05]He works on us and he makes us waver whether it's from

[73:12]that school of thought, from this position or even as a follow

[73:15]of B.

[73:16]How many of us truly follow the footsteps of Alb?

[73:22]How many?

[73:24]The footsteps of B demands that our alak be good.

[73:26]Demands that we don't find faults in each other.

[73:29]Demands that we love humanity.

[73:30]Demands that we forgive each other.

[73:33]It demands that we're good and charitable.

[73:35]It demands that we love humanity regardless of what faith they belong

[73:40]to.

[73:40]Do we follow that?

[73:43]If we don't, let's not point fingers at these other schools of

[73:46]thought.

[73:47]We need to look in the mirror and say if since God

[73:49]has granted me the best role models, the best examples of leadership,

[73:55]then shame on me if I am not exemplary in my community.

[74:00]Shame on me.

[74:02]Let's not point fingers at Christians and Jews and Hindus and Buddhists

[74:05]and people of other schools of thought.

[74:08]point a finger at myself.

[74:08]For as we should say that God has blessed me with this

[74:14]level of guidance that we can talk that the prophet says I

[74:18]want nothing from you but that you have ma you know what

[74:23]is ma ma is mutual love the b have already given us

[74:26]their love the only thing that's remaining now is for you and

[74:33]I to reply mad how did they respond they stole their their

[74:39]lands abused them and in the end what happened?

[74:43]Fatima had five children.

[74:47]One in the womb, four were born.

[74:51]As you know, Imam Hassan was her eldest, Imam Hussein, Zulum.

[74:59]And the fifth one was uh Ms.

[75:04]the one who became Shahid in her.

[75:08]Now she was so threatened because she was so vocal that even

[75:13]her daughter you find that she stood in front of Yazid and

[75:19]declared him as a son of a freed slave that my grandfather

[75:22]freed your father and this is what you do to us.

[75:28]So to silence her they attacked Fatima.

[75:31]They attacked her so much they came knocking on her house and

[75:38]when she would cry they would come and make a big fuss

[75:42]about it that why is she crying the prophet loved her so

[75:49]much that she when she entered the room the prophet would stand

[75:53]up that's how much he loved her and Allah in the Quran

[75:58]is saying I want no reward from you meaning rejection ction followed

[76:02]by an exception which leaves no room for argument that when we

[76:06]read the shahada attain we say there is no god but one.

[76:11]We can say there is a god who is one but when

[76:15]we say there is no god but one we negate everything and

[76:18]leave no argument for that.

[76:19]So when the prophet says there is no argument from the prophet

[76:26]but this.

[76:28]So there is nobody in the universe who can dare bring an

[76:34]argument to say that our treachery against the family of the prophet

[76:38]had meaning.

[76:39]You cannot have meaning unless you engross violation of God's law.

[76:44]Fatham was the iconic figure of hijab.

[76:49]Allah says, "Oh prophet, say to your wives, to your daughters, and

[77:13]to the women of believers that they dawn upon themselves jalabia In

[77:20]Allah says let them have put the head covering.

[77:23]Many of us argue what is all this?

[77:28]This is moderation.

[77:28]My dear brothers and sisters, Islam is being attacked for this reason.

[77:33]The hijab is the flag of Islam.

[77:36]A woman with modesty lowers the temperature of human wildness.

[77:44]I bear witness to this.

[77:47]I grew up in this country and everywhere I go when I

[77:50]see a woman wearing hijab even from distance she's telling me lower

[77:58]your eyes oh you and be modest for if you look at

[78:01]me in an evil way you will lose your aatim nobody saw

[78:09]her but in full hijab even Salman saw her and said her

[78:15]face was pale and her wrist was bleeding But nothing else he

[78:19]could see.

[78:19]Her modesty is what she stood out.

[78:21]Mariam's modesty was what stood out that when Gibbra comes as a

[78:27]man to give her the news, she turns back and runs almost

[78:30]about to run to say, "Who are you?" No man has touched

[78:37]me.

[78:38]I'm pure.

[78:38]The children that are born are pure.

[78:43]For hijab is to protect the womb.

[78:44]This is why hijab is on it for Allah only protects that

[78:49]during the time of childbearing years.

[78:54]She was paraded in public.

[79:00]Imam Zahim for 34 years cried.

[79:00]They said why do you cry?

[79:03]Is it because your father was killed?

[79:05]He said no.

[79:07]Of course we made a covenant with Allah for that.

[79:12]But our women were paraded in public.

[79:15]For Islam is the religion of modesty.

[79:18]It's ha that if we violate this hay, our children will become

[79:24]illegitimate.

[79:23]Alcohol will be prevalent.

[79:27]Indecency will be prevalent.

[79:28]Even people who indulge in free expression of love against across the

[79:33]genders when they are married, they change.

[79:36]They don't want their wives to have boyfriends.

[79:39]And [snorts] nor do the wives want their husbands to have girlfriends

[79:45]that they were so used to all their lives.

[79:47]Why does it change?

[79:50]Because it's natural.

[79:51]It's fri.

[79:51]Even in the west, as wild as people are, when you have

[79:56]a spouse, you don't want her exposed.

[79:58]Islam is a religion of modesty.

[80:00]It's a religion of prevention is better than cure.

[80:05]So if I'm taking a few extra minutes, I want to express

[80:10]this very deeply that when Allah forbids us on things that what

[80:14]we should do on this earth, it is for our benefit.

[80:20]When you do good, you do good for yourselves.

[80:22]Let's not challenge that.

[80:24]And I know that those of us who having problems understanding this

[80:28]because of social pressures, don't fall victim into social pressure.

[80:33]This whole issue of Fatima Salam being deprived is because of social

[80:40]pressure.

[80:39]She's looking at the people of Medina, the Ansar.

[80:42]She said, "You who helped my father to bring civility to you."

[80:48]She looked at the people in the court.

[80:50]She said, "You were all jahil.

[80:52]My father brought you to this civility level of iman.

[80:58]How dare you do this to us when we are the iconic

[81:05]figures that God has chosen?

[81:06]And they attacked her.

[81:08]Some historians say, "Well, she hit the baby." The second caleiff came

[81:15]knocking on the door with rage because he was so jealous.

[81:21]Why did he she marry Alibaba?

[81:25]Why is she so good?

[81:27]The jealousy even shiblmani in his book Omar the great says that

[81:34]Omar said the whole prophethood is in your family oh Ali how

[81:40]can I allow you to continue that level of jealousy isn't that

[81:45]the jealousy of I won't let you have it so Fatima remained

[81:50]silent she watched Imam Ali was there watching I say to us

[81:57]if we would have obeyed the command of God, this world would

[82:01]not be in the level of chaos it's in today.

[82:02]You and I would probably be traveling without vehicles.

[82:06]We'd be traveling the way, you know, as bin bar brought the

[82:11]throne of bilis to him.

[82:14]That's probably how you and I would be traveling.

[82:19]But it's okay.

[82:18]Allah is merciful.

[82:19]And Fatima was struck.

[82:24]Historians say that the door fell on her.

[82:29]Now historians say that she had a will end with this.

[82:35]Just that image of her magnificent presence.

[82:40]Honestly, she defines womanhood to me.

[82:44]Daughterhood, motherhood.

[82:46][snorts] I Zab she's the epitome of that mother.

[82:55]That generation of pure tree, a blessed tree that is neither east

[83:04]nor west that fire shall not touch them.

[83:08]She goes into her room.

[83:12]Imam Hass and Imam Hussein are young children.

[83:14]Zisam is young.

[83:17]Her daughter is young and now she's misaring.

[83:22]She goes into sujud praying and she knows as she looks at

[83:30]her son she said this one will [snorts] be poisoned.

[83:34]This one [laughter] will be beheaded and this one will be dragged.

[83:43]What mother can leave this world as a teenager [snorts] with such

[83:48]thoughts that she's not going to leave this world with that reality

[83:51]that the very people who claim to be Muslims are the ones

[83:58]who are going to butcher my family.

[83:58]Honestly, I consider this my energy in life.

[84:05]I am so driven on this earth that as [laughter] long as

[84:11]I'm alive.

[84:14][snorts] I'm going to defend and break this evil spider's web of

[84:21]shaitan.

[84:19]And when I feel this pain of fat, it gives me energy

[84:25]every day to wake up.

[84:26]I said, I need to do one more thing before I leave

[84:30]this world.

[84:31]For I know Allah will love me when I love them.

[84:36]For God says to me, "Ma, give your ma to them." She

[84:41]leaves her will.

[84:42]Imam Ali is there.

[84:45]She says to Ali, "You will wash me." Which teenage is going

[84:54]to leave this world that soon?

[84:56]And she's describing her departure.

[84:57]But look within those teenage years what she has placed on this

[85:02]earth as a foundation [snorts] continues to grow as the most powerful

[85:08]force on earth.

[85:10]When the revolution of imbu comes it is through her even say

[85:22]that the mai will come from the loat and Ali that the

[85:25]mai will come from her that's the foundation of father she goes

[85:33]into sujud who is there her servant she puts the wheel under

[85:41]her prayer mat goes into [snorts] and Allah says, "Oh you purified

[85:54]one who has reached return to your Lord well pleased.

[86:02]Enter among the believers.

[86:06]enter paradise [snorts] for she is indeed alkalar indeed.

[86:11]My dear brothers and sisters, I just don't want to give o

[86:16]to her and make us cry.

[86:16]I want to give oat to her that you and I follow

[86:21]her footsteps.

[86:23]Love her and don't negotiate.

[86:27]I promise you, you and I want to be successful.

[86:31]That's what we need to do.

[86:34][snorts] By the way, Faddak was taken.

[86:42]When Omar Abu Bakr was going to give it back, Omar ripped

[86:46]it up.

[86:47]Ripped it.

[86:48]She says, "No, she can't get it." Ripped it.

[86:49]Had the audacity to rip it.

[86:52]Then, as we know, Omar bin Abdul Aiz gave it back.

[86:57]Then, again, it was taken.

[86:59]You know how many times he was given back and taken?

[87:03]almost a dozen times between each khalifa giving even Mahm gave it

[87:08]back was taken mutawak took it back mahm gave it mutawak took

[87:13]it back it's like given taken given taken you're talking about 90

[87:16]years of omead empire plus the abbased empire they're just constantly throwing

[87:22]fak back and forth and each time Allah is noting the balah

[87:26]of the enemy of god and exposing them that look it was

[87:31]a land given by the prophet to her and look how they're

[87:33]throwing it back and forth each time worried that will the Aal

[87:42]B succeed.

[87:40]But I guarantee us we're the most successful people in the world

[87:47]and God has gifted us with the best religion in the world.

[87:51]May Allah bless us all.

[90:07]My soul belongs to you.

[90:14][singing] The light none can subdue.

[90:15]Your wounds inside me stay.

[90:19]They won't ever fade away.

[90:22]A wound that will [singing] not men.

[90:26]Oh grief that will not end.

[90:33][singing] In Zah's night I stray.

[92:56]The secret wounds the angels know.

[92:59][singing] Flea's voice fills the house with sorrow and despair.

[93:05][singing] A baby's heartbeat has turned into a silent [singing] prayer.

[93:11]She wept as few could bear.

[93:15]Her pain was pure and rare.

[93:19]They buried her at night away from longing sight.

[93:26]Her name they speak with pain.

[93:30]Her memory remains.

[93:33][singing] Still hidden is her grave.

[93:37]That love no force could say.

[93:53]More money.

[94:03]Mashallah.

[94:16]foreign speech.

[94:44]for [singing] Mah, everyone.

[95:41]One last time.

[95:43]>> [singing] >> Oh, I am so alone without you around.

[96:07]This house is no longer a home all together.

[96:15]Oh fa I am so alone.

[96:18]Without you around this house is no longer a home.

[96:24]How will I forget the things that I saw?

[96:28]Your ribs that were crushed.

[96:29]The nail on the door.

[96:34]Your tormented cries.

[96:34]The blood on the floor.

[96:35]In our son whose life is no more.

[96:44]Oh, them up.

[96:42]It broke me to see though you were in pain.

[96:51]You crawled trying to safely leave.

[96:52]Oh fa, I am so alone.

[96:56]Without you around this house is no longer home.

[97:02]The grief of my heart cannot cannot be contained.

[97:08]But how can I cry in front of Hussein?

[97:14]I wander the streets without any aim to find anyone [singing] who

[97:19]can share my pain.

[97:23]Oh fat, my heart stops for you.

[97:25]I cry by myself in alleys that are destitute.

[97:31]Oh, fought them out.

[97:34]I am so alone.

[97:37]Without you around, this house is no longer a home.

[97:45]My deep loneliness is now breaking me.

[97:47]How can I escape this cycle of grief?

[97:52]These tears are flowing [singing] just like the sea.

[98:00]My love, come and see the state of Ali.

[98:03]Oh fa I can't see the day.

[98:06]The light of my eyes and life from me was snatched away.

[98:15]Oh fima I am so alone without you around.

[98:21]This house is no longer a home.

[98:24]They tell me a lead.

[98:28]We thought you were strong.

[98:30]You lifted the gates of favor alone.

[98:33]So why is it that you cry on and on?

[98:39]You know better than us that she is gone.

[98:43]Oh, fought them.

[98:46]If only they knew the bruises and scars I saw when I

[98:54]was watching you.

[98:52]Oh, fought them all.

[98:55]I am so alone.

[98:57][singing] home.

[98:59]Without you around, this house is no longer a home.

[99:06]These children are searching just for your sin.

[99:10]How can I explain your absence to them?

[99:15]There aren't any words to stop their lament.

[99:17]You were for them all a mother and friend.

[99:21]Oh, Fa, they will cry aloud.

[99:27]When they look at [singing] you playing motionless fought, I am so

[99:38]alone without you around.

[99:42]This house is no longer.

[99:51]Uh we're going to have some Q&A uh with uh with um

[99:57]brother Hassan and um before I do that uh uh I'm going

[100:03]to take a minute here to thank you so much uh brother

[100:05]Hassan for the informative lectures that you had and we are honored

[100:09]to have you and we look forward to have you again in

[100:12]the in the future inshallah.

[100:26]any questions, comments?

[100:29]Uh, we won't make it long.

[100:30]We'll keep it short.

[100:35]>> Yes, brother.

[100:36]>> So, who owns right now?

[100:40]>> Um, father, currently who owns it?

[100:45]It's part I quite honestly I don't know currently who owns it.

[100:48]I know it's part of the government I think.

[100:50]Am I right?

[100:52]Say >> yeah it's part of the government.

[100:54]Uh yeah but it was never given back was taken given taken

[100:57]given taken given.

[100:58]It's really interesting when you study the history.

[101:00]It just kept going back and forth back and forth and each

[101:05]one each khalifa felt guilty the good ones and when they gave

[101:08]it back the evil one took it back.

[101:11]It's interesting even after think about Imam Ali Alisam is gone.

[101:13]Fatima, they've left this world, but they're still fighting for this.

[101:20]That's how crazy it is.

[101:20]I just want you all to understand in the annals of history,

[101:25]you I'll get to you, brother, that look at the way people

[101:27]play with religion and God.

[101:28]It's really just unbelievable.

[101:32]And then you've got scholars and historians writing about it like as

[101:35]if it's just some play that took place in a theater somewhere,

[101:37]you know?

[101:39]It's Shakespeare's play and we're now trying to figure out McBth or

[101:42]something like that, [laughter] you know?

[101:44]This is not a Shakespearean play.

[101:45]This is a reality upon which these people grossly violated the commands

[101:51]of God.

[101:51]And I don't want my children shrugging their shoulders.

[101:55]Oh, this happened in history and that guy got killed.

[101:59]Like today, how many Palestinians got killed in Gaza?

[102:01]Oh, 50 kids.

[102:03]Okay.

[102:04]Yeah.

[102:05]Like we shrug our shoulders.

[102:06]We become so desensitized, so dehumanized.

[102:08]We have to we have to stop this if we're going to

[102:13]get closer to Allah.

[102:16]Yes, brother.

[102:46]Okay.

[102:46]First, well, when you say elite group, you're talking about 70,000.

[102:50]Whenever you hear numbers in hadith, it's always a red flag.

[102:56]Okay?

[102:57]Never never never fall for numbers.

[102:59]Okay?

[102:58]Islam is not built around it's like they say when you when

[103:04]you do um you know voodoo and you speak while doing wudoo

[103:08]you know 70,000 good deeds go thrown out and whatever you know

[103:14]50,000 99,000 I don't know how you keep track of all these

[103:18]numbers.

[103:18]Your question actually is that how do we become those chosen people

[103:25]that Allahh calls the foremost of the foremost who are the most

[103:32]near to God.

[103:34]They will enter paradise.

[103:37]Okay?

[103:38]And Allah talks about that inah.

[103:39]You and I have to ask that question.

[103:45]If we understand Allah's mercy and we are grateful to Allah and

[103:48]we submit to him with gratefulness and recognize that when he appoints

[103:53]representatives, they are the means to God.

[103:56]And if you reject any of them, you're rejecting God.

[104:01]Now, as a Muslim, I have to accept all 124,000 prophets.

[104:05]If I say I only believe in 10,000 prophets and the rest

[104:09]I don't believe in, you've stopped obeying the messenger of Allah.

[104:11]Though we don't know all the 124,000.

[104:13]We don't need to.

[104:17]We collectively and holistically obey Allah's command when it comes to this

[104:19]because it's logical.

[104:22]It's rational that representation of God is essential on earth because we're

[104:28]intelligent.

[104:29]We're being tested at the moral level and it's impossible to pass

[104:32]the moral exam without God giving us the moral rules because morality

[104:37]cannot be derived through empirical means.

[104:40]You cannot be a scientist and study morals.

[104:44]You can be the world's best astrophysicist.

[104:46]You don't you cannot figure out halal and haram.

[104:50]There is no morality in science.

[104:54]Okay?

[104:54]This is when I debate atheists.

[104:57]When you look at an atheist and say, you know, I'm a

[104:59]good person.

[105:00]So, where'd you get the goodness from?

[105:02]It's not from biology, not from chemistry and what is good to

[105:05]you and what does good mean and what what what is its

[105:10]trajectory?

[105:10]So, when God gives it to us, that's the position.

[105:12]I'll get to you in a second.

[105:14]Morality has to be given by God.

[105:18]If God doesn't give it to us, we can make it.

[105:19]If we make it, it's a problem because now you need 51%

[105:25]rule.

[105:24]Hitler's morality was the eradication of any non-white race.

[105:28]That was his morality.

[105:30]And though Germany, majority of Germany was supportive of this fact, it

[105:37]was very myopic, very dangerous, very deadly because it's human concocted.

[105:41]As I mentioned, the cast system in India is very immoral.

[105:44]When the Brahman is placed above everybody else, you know this is

[105:49]a human concoction.

[105:49]When the Jews claim that they're the chosen people of God and

[105:52]everybody else is Amalcch and that we're all the scum of the

[105:57]earth, this is a man-made religion.

[105:58]It's not God.

[106:00]It's not God's religion.

[106:01]So, if you want to be close, you have to submit to

[106:05]that and you must speak the language of Allah, the Quran, and

[106:11]you must give yourself to the cause of Allah.

[106:16]Okay?

[106:17]without any reservation.

[106:21]You have to completely dedicate your life.

[106:24]All your pleasures will be around Allah's pleasure.

[106:25]And Allah will not deny you falling in love, falling in love

[106:30]with your children.

[106:30]But even when you love your children, you will love them through

[106:33]the eyes of God.

[106:35]Many parents unfortunately love their children outside of God.

[106:38]And when you look at their behavior, they're actually they love their

[106:43]children more than God because they worship their children.

[106:47]And this to me is a big problem.

[106:49]It's a clear indicator that you might say, "Well, you know, this

[106:52]is what God wants." No.

[106:52]I've seen parents do crazy things just to please their children, even

[106:57]at the cost of defying Allah's law.

[106:59]This is not love of children.

[107:05]No.

[107:03]Okay.

[107:03]When we love Allah, we love our children.

[107:07]Love them through Allah.

[107:08]Zabalam asked Ali Alisam, "Do you love Allah?" He said, "Yes." He

[107:14]says, "Do you love me?" He said, "Yes." And Zab as a

[107:16]four-year-old looks at her father and says, "How can you love me

[107:20]when you love Allah?" What a brilliant question because basically she's saying

[107:25]when you love God, you cannot love anything else because you cannot

[107:28]love God less than totality.

[107:30]So Imam Ali smiles and he's very pleased with that question seeing

[107:36]her wisdom and he replies, "I love you because Allah loves you."

[107:40]Now that's the right way to love children.

[107:43]But many of us don't know that.

[107:45]We love our money.

[107:48]We love ourselves outside of Allah.

[107:52]Love yourself through Allah.

[107:52]Then you won't harm yourself.

[107:55]There's nothing wrong to love yourself.

[107:57]But love through the love of God for you.

[107:59]For God created us when we were nothing.

[108:01]He loves us.

[108:03]That's why he made us.

[108:03]Then love the self through his eyes.

[108:06]Now you'll become complete servant of God.

[108:08]So there are many ways to reach that.

[108:11]Yes, sister.

[108:15]question.

[108:27]My question is what?

[108:35]There is zero detriment to the self because Allah says inum so

[108:42]there is no detriment if there's any detriment if you want to

[108:48]gauge pleasure or hurt like you know I'm going to go fight

[108:52]or I'm going to speak the truth and I may get punished

[108:54]or I may get killed oh it's detrimental to me no it's

[109:00]not no it's an elevation of self detriment here is self- negation

[109:04]by doing what we call the antithetical things that God wants.

[109:09]Meaning going against Allah is detrimental.

[109:13]Okay?

[109:14]Anything you do for Allah will benefit us and us alone.

[109:19]>> Maybe also follow questions.

[109:32]>> Yeah.

[109:37]That's okay.

[109:39]>> Yeah, >> it's okay.

[109:43]Have you ever invested?

[109:43]Have you ever done investments?

[109:47]>> Have you never invested?

[109:50]Have you bought a house?

[109:54]You're part owner of that.

[109:58]When you invest, you have to put money.

[109:59]So, you're saying when you put something You can't get something back

[110:07]unless you put something.

[110:07]You know, risk is all based on how much you're willing to

[110:12]put.

[110:11]So to say that I want to get benefit without putting anything.

[110:16]Now Allah doesn't accept that.

[110:21]You will not achieve righteousness until you give.

[110:25]You give, not take.

[110:30]You give with that which you love most.

[110:34]Give give because we already get too much.

[110:41]I mean our existence from nothing is way too much.

[110:44]You and I can never pay back our existence ever.

[110:48]And the fact is that even if somebody kills us, they can

[110:51]never turn us off.

[110:53]We're alive forever.

[110:53]Forever.

[110:55]What a people don't understand the gravity of what I just stated.

[111:01]But when you become when a child is born, God says that's

[111:05]a name of forever.

[111:06]Not on this earth forever.

[111:09]And this child will continue to grow forever.

[111:12]My God, what is this?

[111:16]More than anything you'll ever invest in life because nothing is forever.

[111:22]But Allah and his mercy upon us and our existence has the

[111:27]foreverness because Allah is forever.

[111:29]That connection should make you fall in love with God.

[111:33]For my potential for for forever is only because Allah is forever

[111:36]and he allows me to share from his infinite treasury.

[111:40]How can you not love Allah?

[111:43]So don't gauge or weigh these little losses.

[111:49]If the goal [clears throat] is larger, let's say somebody says to

[111:54]you right now that if you invest in this, you know, thousand

[111:57]thousands of children will benefit.

[111:58]But then you won't be able to go on vacation or go

[112:03]on a yacht or a cruise or something.

[112:04]You I'm giving an example of course it's a material thing but

[112:09]you get it.

[112:08]So of course invest but many of us don't shan threatens us

[112:14]with poverty.

[112:13]I've seen it the fact people are scrging for pennies but when

[112:19]something that comes with pleasure they'll throw money.

[112:21]You know it's funny how they when we do trips for youth

[112:25]you know this $300.

[112:28]Y Allah, I can't afford this.

[112:30]Can you make it 250?

[112:31]Then you take them on this trip and you know they go

[112:35]on these rides and to get an express ride, it's $100 more

[112:39]and they just throw it $100 everywhere.

[112:41]I said, "Subhan, where do all those money come from?" So when

[112:43]it comes to Allah's work, you know, you got to kick it

[112:46]like a soccer ball.

[112:46]When it comes to other pleasures, just hug it like you love

[112:51]it.

[112:50]Like there's something wrong with us here.

[112:53]Our priorities are upside down.

[112:56]So always be willing to share in the greatness of good work

[113:03]that people do or if you start it then put it and

[113:08]don't ever account for it for Allah will return it beyond my

[113:12]policies.

[113:12]I want to die with nothing in this world.

[113:15]I want to give up everything.

[113:16]I want to die with no money.

[113:18]Everything should go to Allah's cause because there's nobody to fight for

[113:25]it.

[113:23]You get it?

[113:25]Let it be something that will grow for the youth and for

[113:30]the next generations because what do I do with this world otherwise?

[113:34]Any other questions or comments before we end?

[113:37]Yes, brother.

[113:39]>> It's not exactly question but I just want you know something

[113:53]pretty much Yes.

[114:04]>> Raja.

[114:05]Yes.

[114:05]So we don't believe in reincarnation.

[114:07]We don't believe in the recycling even argues that the the souls

[114:16]that pre-existed in Alamar he doesn't he argues against it.

[114:19]You know there's there's what we call a pre-existing but not in

[114:23]a cognitive state as we have.

[114:26]So but Allah has shown us that some people on earth who

[114:28]have died have come back for Allah has brought them back as

[114:33]a sign that look you know you were wondering right they died

[114:36]and Allah brought them back it's in the Quran.

[114:39]So the principle of raja is not impossible it's mentioned in the

[114:42]Quran.

[114:43]But sometimes we exaggerate.

[114:43]Now we say you know all the imams will come back and

[114:45]take revenge and no that will not happen.

[114:49]This whole idea even this whole idea of Isaam returning there are

[114:56]two schools of thought on that.

[114:57]But Raja is there but it's in a very limited scale not

[115:00]with the intention of bringing justice back on earth through the preceding

[115:04]misdeeds because that's all going to be meed out on judgment day

[115:09]and post.

[115:08]So there's no need for any of that.
