[1:13]Hi all.

[1:36][snorts] Allah illuhammed Aliuhammed.

[2:16]Alhamdulillah.

[2:19]Alhamdulillah.

[2:26]Speech.

[2:27]Speech.

[2:28]Speech.

[3:06]Ali Muhammad Ali Muhammad My dear brothers and sisters, the 27th of

[3:55]Rajab is the anniversary of the of the of the Holy Prophet

[4:06]on which day the holy prophet was officially commissioned by God to

[4:12]deliver the message of Islam.

[4:13]And this happened when was [snorts] in the cave of in Jabal

[4:22]the mountain by the name of Jabal in Mecca when the prophet

[4:28]was 40 years old.

[4:29]He used to go and meditate.

[4:34]He used to leave the vices of his community and he used

[4:41]to spend sometimes hours or days in the cave.

[4:45]He used to meditate and pray to God.

[4:51]And one day while he was in the cave, he heard a

[4:55]sound.

[4:56]And that sound came from the angel of God.

[5:02]And that sound began to tell him.

[5:05]Oh, read.

[5:20]The first five verses of surah were revealed untoas.

[5:30]And from that moment began to receive the revelation which lasted 23

[5:40]years.

[5:38]And from the first moment did not hesitate did not show any

[5:45]hesitation any weakness in delivering that grand message the message of Islam.

[5:54]Today there are some historians that come and try to give credit

[6:01]to others and show that the prophet hesitated at first and then

[6:05]he goes to Khadijah and Khadijah tells him I have a cousin

[6:11]who's a Christian who's familiar with the old text the Bible and

[6:15]the injil and I will ask him what you experienced so that

[6:20]he could verify and then she goes and she asks and he

[6:26]tells her, "Yes, he's a prophet.

[6:27]This is what happened to MS and Isa and all of the

[6:32]other prophets." Of course, we disagree and we do not accept this

[6:35]narrative because this narrative shows that Prophet Muhammad was doubting in his

[6:40]own prophethhood and he needed a non-Muslim.

[6:44]He needed either a Christian to come and verify that he's a

[6:51]prophet.

[6:49]if he's going to be trying to convince people that he's a

[6:53]prophet, why would he doubt that he is a prophet himself?

[6:58]So it doesn't make sense.

[6:58]So we believe and this is the narrative of the says that

[7:03]the prophet from the first moment right away he knew he was

[7:08]a prophet.

[7:07]In fact he was a prophet before this event took place.

[7:12]This event just commissioned the prophet that was formally giving the responsibility.

[7:19]Now of course the Quran began to be revealed on the heart

[7:23]of the prophet and would feel the magnitude and the intensity of

[7:30]the Quran.

[7:32]The Quran is no average talk.

[7:34]The Quran is the words of Allah subhana wa tala being revealed

[7:40]on the heart of the prophet and Allah says in the Quran

[7:50]if this Quran were to be revealed on a mountain the mountain

[7:55]would crumble.

[7:57]So imagine the heart of that became the recipient of the words

[8:02]of God.

[8:03]So obviously the prophet sometimes when the Quran would be revealed on

[8:08]him he would begin to shake he would begin to shiver because

[8:14]of the magnitude of the message and rool he goes down from

[8:17]the cave he goes to khadijah and he's shivering he's shivering because

[8:21]of what he had experienced and then another surah comes down another

[8:26]verses set of verses come down upon Oh man who is covered

[8:42]up.

[8:43]Get up and warn people.

[8:45]You have a message to deliver.

[8:48]You don't have time to waste.

[8:50]And from that moment began to deliver the message, began to speak

[8:57]to people and tell people about the message of Islam.

[9:02]A short while while later another set of verses came down upon

[9:07]the prophet, encouraging the prophet and helping him and supporting him.

[9:11]this time.

[9:26]Meaning if you are feeling weak, if you're feeling despair, then turn

[9:33]to Allah subhanana wa ta'ala through your prayers.

[9:35]Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will give you the strength.

[9:40]sallallahu alaihi began on the 27th of Rajab and he began to

[9:47]deliver the message.

[9:50]The first three years, the first three years of re of delivering

[9:53]the message was a private um private delivery of the message.

[9:59]Meaning the prophet did not go out publicly and announce.

[10:03]He would seek out people and he would tell them about his

[10:07]prophethood.

[10:08]And of course the first two that accepted and believed in him

[10:17]were number one and number two the wife of the prophet.

[10:22]These were the first two that accepted the prophet immediately.

[10:25]Immediately as soon as tells him he's a messenger right away they

[10:31]accepted him.

[10:33]And then after the three years finished, then was commanded by God

[10:42]to go out in public and declare that he's a prophet.

[10:48]Go out in public.

[10:55]So he goes and he stands on the mountain of this is

[10:59]where was built.

[11:01]This is where Islam was built.

[11:03]Allah stands on that mountain next to the Kaa and he calls

[11:06]people, "Oh people, come to me.

[11:10]I have a very important message to you." They come, they listen.

[11:14]Of course, they all trust the prophet.

[11:15]He was known as he was known as Al.

[11:18]They know he's not going to be wasting their time.

[11:22]They know every word that he utters is very serious.

[11:28]He tells them Everyone sayahillahillah sayahillahill and you will be victorious.

[11:41]You will be successful.

[11:41]You will find all types of success in this life and in

[11:46]the afterlife just by sayingahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahillah just by saying there is no god

[11:53]other than Allah subhanana wa ta'ala.

[11:55]Of course, some people accepted that message and other people, they turned

[11:59]against the prophet, his own people, his own tribe, people that were

[12:06]from Quraysh, they began to throw rocks at him.

[12:07]They began to assault him.

[12:12]They began to harass him.

[12:14]And he persisted.

[12:15]He remained strong.

[12:18]He never gave up.

[12:18]And he continued day after day.

[12:20]Every day was a difficult day.

[12:22]Every day was a challenge.

[12:29]But within 23 years, just 23 years managed to not only change

[12:36]Mecca, but change the whole Arabian Peninsula into a Muslim country into

[12:43]a Muslim place.

[12:42]And everyone had believed in su and he did not just introduce

[12:52]a religion to people.

[12:51]They say that 50 years after the death of the prophet, there

[12:59]were more non-Arab Muslims than the Arab Muslims.

[13:01]And this shows you that the message of Islam is a universal

[13:06]message.

[13:04]It's not a message that is tribal, a message only to his

[13:09]family, to only his group of people.

[13:12]No, Islam is a universal message.

[13:14]And the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasall did not allow this message to

[13:20]be bound by g geography, by race, by location.

[13:26]Unfortunately, today we limit Islam.

[13:28]Today we Muslims, we have not given Islam the opportunity to spread

[13:33]to non-Muslims the way wanted it to do so.

[13:38]And here Islam became the fastest growing religion, the most impactful, the

[13:43]mo he became the most influential person in history.

[13:48]This is not according to Muslims.

[13:50]This is according to non-Muslim historians.

[13:51]Within 23 years, he managed to guide people to God.

[13:56]He managed to managed to rid the Arab Peninsula of idol worship.

[14:01]He managed to bring up literacy.

[14:05]You know they say historians say that at the time of the

[14:08]birth of the prophet there were only 17 people that used to

[14:14]read or write in Mecca.

[14:14]Only 17 people.

[14:17]But sallallahu alaihi he comes with a message that did not just

[14:22]encourage religion.

[14:21]He encouraged literacy.

[14:24]The first verse that was revealed on the prophet was read.

[14:28]Read in the name of your Lord.

[14:32]He managed to change the culture.

[14:34]The culture of dressing modestly, the culture of eating halal, the culture

[14:39]of of not being oppressive towards minorities, towards others.

[14:43]And this is how this is what the prophet was able to

[14:46]achieve.

[14:47]How he managed to do it?

[14:49]Through several key features that he had.

[14:54]And today my dear brothers and sisters if we apply these characteristics

[15:00]and these qualities in our lives we will also be able to

[15:08]make a change in our life.

[15:08]Number one he used the power of manners and this is something

[15:16]that is very important today.

[15:18]You could deliver a message to someone even if this person is

[15:23]an enemy but if you do it in a kind way if

[15:26]you do it in a compassionate way you will have an impact

[15:30]on their life.

[15:33]Allah subhana wa ta'ala describes the prophet you became you became kind

[15:41]with people from what?

[15:41]From the mercy of God.

[15:50]If you were rude, if you were intolerant, if you were yelling

[15:56]at people and not polite to people, then no one would be

[15:58]around you.

[15:59]This is a key lesson in our lives, my dear brothers and

[16:02]sisters.

[16:02]Whether you're at work, whether you're at school, whether you're in your

[16:06]family today, some people, they say, "I'm in the I'm in my

[16:10]family, but I struggle with my children, with my with people that

[16:13]I live with because no one listens to me." Well, maybe I

[16:19]have to be kind in the way that I speak to them.

[16:22]If you are rude, no one will be around you.

[16:25]If you are always yelling, no one will be around you.

[16:31]So this is how was and he used his manners to deliver

[16:36]that powerful message.

[16:39]One day a lady in Mecca and I've mentioned the story in

[16:43]Mecca.

[16:43]He finds a lady.

[16:45]He comes out and he helps her.

[16:46]He helps her carry the bags and carry whatever she had.

[16:51]She tells him, "Oh man, I don't know you and I know

[16:53]that you're a you seem like you're a very good person.

[16:57]I don't have any money to pay you back for what you

[16:58]did to me, but I have one piece of advice I want

[17:02]to tell you." He tells her, "What is that advice?" She tells

[17:04]him, "There's a lunatic.

[17:06]His name is Muhammad.

[17:07]He's going around telling people he's a prophet.

[17:10]Be careful from him.

[17:10]Stay away from him.

[17:12]This is all that I could give you right Now I don't

[17:13]have money to give you.

[17:16]He tells her Muhammad.

[17:16]Tells her I am Muhammad.

[17:20]She tells him you this is you.

[17:22]This is who you are.

[17:22]And she embraces Islam.

[17:25]This is how managed to change a something that was very negative.

[17:32]The the impression and the perspective that society at that time they

[17:35]called him a majun.

[17:37]They called him a kahan.

[17:38]They called him a poet.

[17:39]They used all types of slander against the prophet.

[17:44]But managed to change that.

[17:46]And this is what the Quran tells us.

[17:53]Repel evil with good.

[17:56]My dear brothers and sisters, this applies to us right now more

[17:59]than any other time.

[18:01]Right now when you go out, do people have a positive impression

[18:04]of Islam or a negative one?

[18:06]Unfortunately, because of mainstream media, because of what they hear in the

[18:10]news, because of politics, many people have a negative impression of Islam.

[18:14]It's up to us to change that.

[18:16]And believe me, most people that either convert to Islam or choose

[18:23]to have a uh better attitude towards Islam, it's because they say,

[18:27]"Oh, I had a co-orker who was very nice.

[18:29]I had a a neighbor who used to bring us food, for

[18:33]example, who used to take care of us." These type of things

[18:35]they really do have an impact.

[18:36]These type of things really make a difference through his he forgave

[18:43]all of his enemies.

[18:44]Imagine have you seen a religion where the people who were fighting

[18:48]the person they end up becoming believers of this person.

[18:53]This was Islam.

[18:52]Go and read the people that fought the prophet.

[18:58]They ended up becoming the believers in this is the mannerism of

[19:06]Islam and this is what Islam comes with.

[19:07]Allah says verily the reason why I was commissioned and sent to

[19:15]deliver a message is to enhance and increase the moral character of

[19:19]society.

[19:20]This is what it is.

[19:23]not to pray, not to fast, not to go to Hajj, not

[19:25]to give to increase and enhance the moral character of society because

[19:31]a person who prays is a person of the person who fasts

[19:34]is a person who should havelak and this is what means by

[19:39]having proper manners with God, proper manners with people in your community,

[19:43]in your society.

[19:43]So this is number one.

[19:46]Number two, he became so successful because he used the power of

[19:54]reason.

[19:53]Often times when we talk about religion, people think it's just, you

[19:59]know, following the bandwagon, following what people are doing.

[20:01]And people make fun of religious communities and religious people, they say,

[20:04]"Oh, they don't follow their reason.

[20:07]They just follow emotions." But in fact, Islam is all about reason.

[20:10]And this is why the first verses that were revealed were what?

[20:14]Read, go and go and study, go and analyze.

[20:22]This insan was created from a blood clot.

[20:28]Your Lord is the one that taught by the pen, taught man

[20:32]that which he does not know.

[20:34]Meaning through reason, through learning, through education, you could get closer to

[20:39]Allah subhana wa tala.

[20:42]And this is why the salah and the ib of someone that

[20:44]is learned is worth more than the one that is ignorant.

[20:49]Why?

[20:48]Because when you are learned, when you are educated, your understanding of

[20:55]God, your understanding of religion is going to be much greater than

[20:59]someone that is shallowminded, someone that is gullible, someone that is easily

[21:04]fooled by other people.

[21:06]And he never belittled the intelligence of people.

[21:10]Today often times you find leaders or people in in positions of

[21:15]power.

[21:16]They belittle the intelligence of their subjects.

[21:19]You see this also in the home.

[21:21]Sometimes parents they tell their kids I want you to do something.

[21:26]The kids say why?

[21:26]They say don't tell me why.

[21:27]Don't ask me why.

[21:29]Just do it because I said so.

[21:30]A lot of leaders this is how they operate.

[21:33]They don't want they don't want to reason with their subjects.

[21:35]They don't want to reason with people.

[21:37]But in Islam, no, there's always room for reason.

[21:41]Allah people would ask him why.

[21:42]He would explain to them.

[21:43]People would ask him questions.

[21:46]He would make time for them.

[21:47]And this is something that is very important to not force beliefs

[21:50]on people because if it's forced on people, the same way it's

[21:53]forced, it's going to go away as well.

[21:55]But if you make them convinced why they need to pray, why

[22:00]they need to believe in God, why they need to practice their

[22:03]religion, then no one will come and sway this person away.

[22:08]And sallallahu alaihi wasallam throughout his life, there are many stories of

[22:13]him reasoning with people, trying to just reach a common ground where

[22:17]they reason with people.

[22:17]One day, a man comes to the prophet and he tells him,

[22:21]"Yahasool Allah, talk to my son.

[22:22]He eats too much dates." The prophet tells him, "Come tomorrow." Why?

[22:27]The next day he comes, the prophet tells him, "Don't it's bad."

[22:31]And then the the kid was convinced.

[22:32]The dad tells the prophet, "Why did you tell him come tomorrow?"

[22:35]Allah said, "Because yesterday I ate dates.

[22:38]So I don't want to be someone who tells someone to do

[22:40]something and I don't do it." See, this is the power of

[22:45]reason.

[22:46]Another time, a man comes to the prophet and he tells him,

[22:48]"Yasool Allah, I like to commit adultery.

[22:50]This is something why convince me why it's wrong.

[22:55]I this is something I enjoy doing.

[22:56]Allah he he reasoned with the man.

[22:59]He tells him would you like someone to say the same thing

[23:03]about your mother or your sister?

[23:04]The man right away he thought for a moment and then he

[23:06]said no I don't like that.

[23:09]Then Allah tells him then you should not want that for someone

[23:12]else's mother or sister.

[23:15]And right away the man was convinced.

[23:15]Another man comes to the masjid of the prophet and a poor

[23:20]person, a poor blind person comes and sits right next to him.

[23:23]So the wealthy person he collects his he collects his clothes and

[23:29]he kind of collects himself so that he is not touched by

[23:33]the other person.

[23:33]Right away looked at him he tells him why did you do

[23:38]that?

[23:39]Are you afraid that his poverty is going to transfer to you

[23:41]or are you afraid that your wealth is going to transfer to

[23:48]him?

[23:45]See the prophet used reason and the man right away he said

[23:52]yeah I don't know why I did that I'm sorry and I

[23:55]I I want to give that poor person one-third of my money

[23:59]and see how that approach this is number two using reason number

[24:05]three my dear brothers and sisters was a uniter not a divider

[24:14]today often times You see people when they want to take positions

[24:18]of power they work on dividing people so that people could follow

[24:23]them.

[24:23]This is what we see politicians do doing.

[24:26]This is what Trump is an expert in doing.

[24:29]For example, he came and he talked about the Mexicans and the

[24:32]Muslims and immigrants and different people so that he could stand out

[24:35]by dividing people being a divisive figure by spreading hatred.

[24:41]But when you look at you see his whole life, he never

[24:47]spread hatred.

[24:46]He was always a uniter.

[24:50]He was always one that brings people together.

[24:52]And even his enemies, he made them feel very safe.

[24:57]He made them feel very safe.

[25:00]when he conquered Mecca Allah he was able to conquer Mecca after

[25:05]the people of Mecca had attacked him and they had oppressed him

[25:10]and they killed his family members when he conquered Mecca made the

[25:17]safest place the fa the safest home was the home of Abu

[25:21]Sufyan he says whoever enters in the home of Abu Sufyan is

[25:25]going to be at peace this was a man who it's just

[25:29]been hours he has just accepted the prophet.

[25:31]But look at the prophet.

[25:32]He was a uniter.

[25:35]He wasn't a person that was divisive in the way that he

[25:38]lived.

[25:39]When he conquered Mecca, he took the keys of the Kaa and

[25:46]brought down all of the idols.

[25:47]He climbed the shoulder of the prophet and he brought down all

[25:50]of the idols from the roof of the Kaa and inside the

[25:54]Kaa.

[25:55]Then the prophet, he says, "Where are the keys of the Kaa?"

[25:57]They came and they brought the keys to Allah.

[26:00]Thenasool Allah he goes and he gives it back to the custodians

[26:03]of thea.

[26:05]They were the ones who had the keys of thea.

[26:08]They were fighting the prophet his whole life.

[26:11]But Allah came and he said this is an ama here.

[26:14]You could take it back.

[26:15]They were shocked.

[26:17]They were shocked that this man he conquered the Kaa but now

[26:20]he came back and he gave them back the keys of the

[26:24]Kaa.

[26:25]This is howasool Allah was another feature.

[26:28]The fourth feature in the life of sallaihi was that the prophet

[26:33]was determined.

[26:31]Today sometimes you might see people they begin a project they begin

[26:38]something in their life and then as soon as they face some

[26:43]challenge as soon as they face something difficult what do they do?

[26:46]The majority of the people they quit.

[26:48]The majority of the people they do not persist they cannot go

[26:54]further.

[26:54]They are afraid.

[26:54]They lose hope.

[26:56]They lose the the courage.

[26:57]They they lose all of that.

[26:59]That's it.

[27:00]Sall was someone who was never a quitter in his life.

[27:05]His whole life he persisted and they tried many ways.

[27:10]They came and they they threatened him.

[27:12]They used verbal assault.

[27:13]They used physical assault.

[27:14]They came and they tried to bribe him.

[27:18]They they said that if you give in a little then we'll

[27:22]give in a little.

[27:22]Don't wage a war against don't come and be against all the

[27:26]idols you know let us have for example only three idols in

[27:31]the Kaa we just want one idol in the house would tell

[27:35]them noahill he never he persisted and he never gave in until

[27:39]the point where they came and they said we will give you

[27:46]whatever you want and sai he tells he tells his uncle Abu

[27:48]Talib if they give me the sun in my right hand and

[27:52]the moon in my left hand so that I give up this

[27:56]matter.

[27:57]I will not give it up.

[27:58]This was Allah.

[28:00]And finally the fifth point is that sallallahu alaihi had the support

[28:05]of God.

[28:03]When you are a mman, when you're a believer, Allah subhanahu wa

[28:10]ta'ala is not going to leave you.

[28:12]And we should read the life of the prophet to see how

[28:14]God stood with the prophet.

[28:17]And that means God will stay with us as well if we

[28:18]are sincere in our faith, in our belief.

[28:29]Allah is the supporter of the Allah is the one who stands

[28:34]with the and does not let them go.

[28:40]If you stand with God, Allah will give you victory.

[28:43]But if you are shaky in your faith, then the support is

[28:48]not going to come as quick as you wish for it to

[28:51]come.

[28:51]We ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to strengthen our im and to

[28:57]give us the faith to stand for our faith and our beliefs

[28:59]and stand with Muhammadham.

[29:24]Alhamdulillah.

[29:26]Alhamdulillah.

[29:53]Aliuhammed Ibraim.

[30:18]Hussein say Hussein Muhammad Aliham for ask the brothers to come forward

[30:47]a little to fill the gap so that people in the back

[30:50]could come in.

[30:51]My dear brothers and sisters, we are talking about the of and

[30:58]the prophet created the fastest growing movement and that is bringing and

[31:04]delivering the message of Islam.

[31:06]However, this message did not come for free.

[31:10]This success did not come for free.

[31:13]Have you seen success come for free in this dunya?

[31:18]Doesn't come for free.

[31:17]And similarly likewise the success of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala gives us

[31:30]an an ingredient to become successful in our lives and this is

[31:34]Allah says in the Quran two very important ingredients for success.

[31:47]us in anything that you do in your life, whether it has

[31:52]to do with faith and this applies to Allah, or it has

[31:54]to do with your work, it has to do with your family,

[31:57]it has to do with the project that you're beginning, whatever you

[32:01]whatever you do.

[32:04]And number one is to be patient.

[32:09]Number one, be patient.

[32:12]Success does not come overnight.

[32:13]Some of us, we want everything to happen very fast.

[32:17]This is why we love everything fast.

[32:20]We love fast internet.

[32:20]We love fast food.

[32:24]We we want fast uh in Instacart.

[32:26]Everything we need it.

[32:27]We everything we want very fast.

[32:28]But sometimes success requires time.

[32:32]It requires persistence.

[32:34]And there's a very beautiful and interesting story on how time sometimes

[32:40]you have to allow time to take its course especially when it

[32:44]comes to doing something big.

[32:45]When it comes to seeking knowledge, for example, you can't just have,

[32:50]you know, we're used to chat GPT.

[32:51]We want all the information right away.

[32:54]Doesn't happen that way.

[32:55]It requires time.

[32:57]It requires persistence.

[32:57]There's a scholar, a sixth Islamic century scholar.

[33:01]His name is Shikh Saki.

[33:04]He's he's he's uh not a follower of the B, but he's

[33:09]a known Islamic scholar, Hanafi scholar.

[33:12]They narrate a very interesting story from his life.

[33:16]He was a blacksmith.

[33:19]So he used to make um out of he used to you

[33:24]know iron and he used to make things a blacksmith.

[33:27]He goes and he makes a gift to give it to the

[33:28]king of the time.

[33:30]He goes and he delivers the gift to the king.

[33:33]The king sees it and he says, "Thank you." And he, you

[33:36]know, it's very normal for him and then he puts it aside.

[33:43]While he's with the king, he he sees a person walk in

[33:45]on the king and the king gets up from his seat and

[33:48]he shows this person the utmost respect.

[33:50]He asked, "Who is that guy?" They tell him, "This is a

[33:53]scholar." So he said, "I went and I worked so hard to

[33:59]give this gift to the king.

[34:00]The king really didn't really pay me that much attention.

[34:04]But the scholar came, he gave him a lot of respect.

[34:09]I'm going to go and become a scholar too.

[34:12]So he goes to the teacher and he was in his 30s.

[34:14]He wasn't young.

[34:17]So he goes to the teacher and he tells him he tells

[34:22]him I want you to teach me so that I become a

[34:23]scholar too.

[34:24]The scholar tells him right now you're at an age where it's

[34:29]a little bit too late for you to begin right now.

[34:30]You need to have begun when you're a teenager for example.

[34:33]He tells him no please I want you to teach me.

[34:38]So the teacher began to tell him okay today this is the

[34:42]lesson that we're learning.

[34:41]I want you to memorize the statement.

[34:49]The the sheh said that the the the skin of a dog

[34:56]becomes pure through tanning through.

[35:00]So he kept repeating it.

[35:05]He said keep repeating that and memorize that.

[35:08]This is today's lesson.

[35:11]The next day he came they tell him okay what was the

[35:14]lesson from yesterday?

[35:16]He said the dog said that the skin of the becomes with

[35:25]tanning.

[35:26]They all laughed at him and they said what kind of you

[35:30]know this is what we were telling you.

[35:32]You're too old to come and try to seek knowledge.

[35:35]You came and you flipped it around.

[35:37]He felt very embarrassed.

[35:38]He felt very shameful.

[35:38]And he walked outside the city.

[35:43]When he walked outside the city, he saw there was a spring

[35:48]of water and the water was pouring on a piece of rock.

[35:52]But he looked at the rock.

[35:56]He saw that the rock had an engravement in it.

[35:59]So he said to himself, "This rock, it changed because of the

[36:05]water." And this means that this is over time.

[36:10]Anything could happen.

[36:09]My heart is not as hard as rough as a rock.

[36:13]So definitely I could change as well.

[36:15]So if this rock was able to change but it just needed

[36:20]time.

[36:20]It doesn't happen overnight.

[36:21]It needed many years.

[36:22]It needed dedication.

[36:24]It needed persistence and even this rock will change form as a

[36:28]result of patience and time.

[36:29]So I could change as well.

[36:32]And he went back and he became what?

[36:35]One of the top scholars of his time.

[36:37]So this shows you that patience is key.

[36:41]Sometimes you have to be patient.

[36:42]Sometimes you can't have things overnight and this is one of the

[36:46]keys to the success of you have to be patient and sall

[36:53]was patient.

[36:53]Today some of us we say oh the prophet he became the

[36:57]prophet because God wanted him to become successful.

[36:58]Noasoolah he he was so patient he endured for 23 years.

[37:05]Then finally at the end that people entering that did not happen

[37:16]overnight.

[37:16]That took a lot of struggle, a lot of sacrifice.

[37:18]Number two, this is a very important part.

[37:29]You have to be able to forgive.

[37:30]You have to be able to let go of things that bog

[37:34]you down, things that hold you down.

[37:38]You have to have a positive perspective and do not allow anything

[37:42]to to destroy your morale.

[37:44]How many people tried to tell him, "Give up on this message.

[37:49]Stop.

[37:49]You don't need to.

[37:49]We're they tried to persuade him away from it." But he kept

[37:56]his morale strong and he never gave up until the last day.

[37:59]And this is a very important lesson that we should learn from

[38:05]Allah.

[38:04]My dear brothers and sisters in conclusion we we celebrate the life

[38:10]of the prophet and the mission of s which began on the

[38:18]and today the 27th of Raj we celebrate the of and tonight

[38:22]inshallah we have uh Azar Nasar who is going to be visiting

[38:28]us.

[38:28]He's going to be speaking tonight.

[38:29]We're having a celebration tonight.

[38:31]We ask everyone to come.

[38:32]I want to um also give a a short comment on the

[38:38]situation in Iran.

[38:40]What's going on, the protests that are going on in Iran?

[38:42]Some people have reached out to me and told me, why don't

[38:45]you speak out against the killing that is going on there?

[38:47]You speak out about everywhere else, but you have not spoken out

[38:52]about that.

[38:52]I say that if there is unjust killing going on anywhere in

[38:58]the world, then we condemn it.

[38:59]If there are people that are targeted just for protesting and they

[39:03]are not doing anything wrong, they're innocent bystanders, then yes, this is

[39:07]wrong.

[39:07]And we have to have the courage to condemn the unjust killing

[39:13]of any person, whoever that may be.

[39:17]However, having said that, we need to understand that the current situation

[39:21]that is going on in Iran is politically motivated and there are

[39:26]outside forces in particular Israel which they have admitted that they are

[39:32]being they are supporting the protesters and arming them and giving them

[39:36]and trying to topple the government there and try to cause um

[39:43]try to cause chaos in the country and the United States uh

[39:46]they are being they're they're being involved actively being involved and Trump

[39:50]he comes out and he tells people if there's going to be

[39:54]killing then we're going to get involved and then you see the

[39:56]next day there's going there's there's killing and there's chaos.

[39:59]So what does that mean?

[40:02]That means who's the beneficiary of of the killing that's going on?

[40:04]Does the government benefit from killing its own people?

[40:06]Of course not.

[40:09]And you see that unfortunately a lot of people have been killed.

[40:13]We don't really know exactly how much, but we need to understand

[40:19]that the s the that the the what's going on over there

[40:21]is not black and white.

[40:24]It's not as the media the mainstream media makes it out to

[40:28]be here.

[40:29]We know the mainstream media here has an agenda and they've had

[40:32]an agenda not only in Iran, all over the world.

[40:36]All that the US does is to seek chaos and division especially

[40:39]in the Middle East.

[40:41]especially in the Middle East because for its baby Israel, the US

[40:44]is willing to do whatever it takes and they don't want a

[40:49]strong country.

[40:48]They don't want a strong resistance and therefore their objective is not

[40:54]to bring democracy to the Iranian people.

[40:56]Just like that was not their objective in Syria.

[40:58]That was not their objective in Libya.

[41:00]That was not their objective in Iraq.

[41:03]Their objective is to have a puppet government.

[41:06]And right now the the one who is pushing himself to become

[41:09]the leader the the the son of the previous sha he's publicly

[41:15]coming out and saying the first thing I'm going to do is

[41:18]fix ties with Israel and I'm going to and he went to

[41:22]the whailing wall and this is this is the agenda that is

[41:27]going on there.

[41:25]So, we have to be um we have to be smart and

[41:31]not make quick decisions.

[41:31]But yes, at the same time, we understand that the Iranian people,

[41:37]some of them do have some valid concerns and there needs to

[41:39]be reform just like there needs to be reform everywhere.

[41:44]There needs to be reform.

[41:45]But unfortunately, the the people that are asking for reform, their words

[41:50]are being hijacked and their protests are being hijacked by people that

[41:54]are just causing chaos and killing.

[41:55]And you see that mosques were attacked, places of worship and government

[42:00]buildings were bombed and and and burned and attacked.

[42:04]So obviously, you could tell that there are some outside forces that

[42:08]are trying to disrupt the situation and disrupt what's going on there.

[42:12]And they're not doing it out of love.

[42:14]Since when did Trump care for people?

[42:16]Since when did the US US policy care for the emotions and

[42:21]the well-being of people?

[42:23]Iran has been living under sanctions.

[42:26]Since 1979.

[42:25]If people are suffering as a result of the economic collapse.

[42:31]Who's causing this economic collapse?

[42:32]Iran is a wealthy country just like Venezuela was a wealthy country.

[42:36]Venezuela is a oilrich country.

[42:38]But they're suffering.

[42:38]Why?

[42:39]because the US hijgemony and if you don't do the way we

[42:44]operate, if you don't follow our instructions, then we're going to destroy

[42:49]you until we bring in a a puppet that follows exactly what

[42:52]we say.

[42:53]This is how politics is.

[42:54]And we have to be much smarter than that.

[42:56]But while saying that, we need to not undermine the valid concerns

[43:02]of people.

[43:01]There are people that truly have valid concerns and they want reform.

[43:07]And reform is something that no no person says we don't want

[43:10]reform.

[43:11]There should be reform but at the same time we do not

[43:12]allow uh foreign and we don't we're not going to fall in

[43:18]the traps of those foreign governments that just seek to cause disruption

[43:21]in in the Middle East and all over the world.

[43:26]My dear brothers and sisters, we ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to

[43:29]protect the Muslim land.

[43:32]We ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to protect the believers wherever where

[43:36]wherever they are and we pray for stability across the Muslim world.

[43:42]Right now we're living in very turbulent times.

[43:43]We need to do dua and the best thing that we can

[43:47]do is do dua.

[43:49]My dear brothers and sisters, um today a brother reached out to

[43:52]me.

[43:53]He said his cousin uh his cousin has uh passed away through

[43:57]a car accident in Iraq.

[43:58]So please we'll recite fat and a sister reached out to me

[44:01]asking for dua because of a diagnosis she is receiving.

[44:07]So we will recite fat for the andah ford.

[44:21]We also have in the back uh salam mat which is uh

[44:26]prayer mats and a portion of that will be uh donated a

[44:32]portion of the uh benefits of that will be donated to Mecca.

[44:35]May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala bless you all.

[44:49]foreign.

[45:26]Allahham.
