[0:00]foreign long actually [Music] [Applause] foreign [Music] [Applause] foreign [Applause] hi Anna

[2:31][Applause] all along foreign foreign foreign [Music] one of the primary functions

[4:59]of Islam as a religion is to improve our lives at a

[5:04]social level at a spiritual level at an individual level living a

[5:11]better healthy life this is very important and one of the functions

[5:19]of Islam is to purify the hearts purifying the hearts meaning that

[5:27]a heart that is filled with hatred a heart that is filled

[5:31]with grudges and animosity This Heart it will be very difficult for

[5:35]this heart to connect with Allah and Allah says in the Quran

[5:46]the day of judgment your wealth and your children will not be

[5:52]able to help you in front of God but when you stand

[5:58]before God with a pure heart the Calvin Salim a heart that

[6:00]does not hold any animosity and hatred and grudges towards other people

[6:07]this is a pure heart this is a heart that is able

[6:11]to connect with Allah this is an easy going heart and sometimes

[6:16]we see our hearts they become intoxicated over time one of the

[6:25]ways the heart becomes intoxicated is through cynic living a sinful lifestyle

[6:31]that makes the heart not only further away from God but also

[6:35]further away from people Allah says in the Quran the heart every

[6:46]time we commit an action every time we do something wrong this

[6:50]heart becomes filthier and filthier and filthier and it brings us away

[6:57]from Allah so the one of the functions of Islam and the

[7:03]Quran is to purify the hearts purifying the hearts from diseases we're

[7:07]not talking about heart disease we're not talking about um having high

[7:16]cholesterol we're talking about diseases of the Soul diseases that end up

[7:21]destroying the individual and destroying the faith of the individual and one

[7:27]of these diseases that the Quran often talks about and we oftentimes

[7:34]see mentioned that the Quran is the disease of hypocrisy disease of

[7:38]hypocrisy is a spiritual moral disease that lies in the heart maybe

[7:43]you might look at a person in their appearance you don't see

[7:49]anything wrong with this person but having that disease of hypocrisy it

[7:53]is something that is destructive to your faith destructive to the community

[7:58]and destructive to society as a whole and we see that the

[8:04]Quran talks about this several times in the Quran Allah talks about

[8:08]this and in fact in fact there's a whole Surah in the

[8:12]Quran the chapter of the munafikin the whole chapter chapter 63 of

[8:18]the Quran is revealed talking about the Hypocrites what is a hypocrite

[8:22]a hypocrite is a person who reveals that they have faith in

[8:26]front of you they reveal that they have the highest level of

[8:32]Iman highest level of Faith but deep inside their heart they have

[8:35]no faith in God deep inside their hearts they are not connected

[8:38]to God they don't feel that sense of Iman in their hearts

[8:44]the Iman is just appearances the Iman is just that which is

[8:48]visible on the outside that is all that they have in their

[8:54]Iman and Allah describes they come and they say we bear witness

[9:03]that you are a prophet of God [Applause] and God knows that

[9:13]you are the prophet and messenger of God however God testifies that

[9:21]these Hypocrites are liars even though you are the messenger of God

[9:25]but they're Liars when they are saying it they use their appearance

[9:35]Iman as a way to protect themselves to to mix themselves with

[9:41]the community but they are the enemies of God they had Iman

[9:53]but then they left the Iman so now they are labeled as

[9:58]the moon and as the Hypocrites now if someone has that hypocrisy

[10:03]this is a disease that is destructive to society because sometimes someone

[10:07]could be a hypocrite or they could do something that is hurting

[10:11]themselves at a personal level but when you come in the appearance

[10:14]you give one appearance but deep inside there's something else this is

[10:19]destructive for the whole Community as a whole and here there are

[10:25]some people like that we see in our lives in front of

[10:29]you they're smiling they come and they're nice words but behind your

[10:32]back they'll stab you there's a lot of people like that this

[10:35]is this is in terms of relationships and you also have this

[10:39]in terms of Iman he says hypocrisy is destructive to Iman it

[10:52]is something that will destroy the faith and another Hadith from he

[10:57]says hypocrisy is the brother of associating a partner it's just that

[11:10]they are revealing that they have the Iman now there were Hypocrites

[11:15]during the time of rasulullah there were Hypocrites during the time of

[11:21]there were Hypocrites during the time of Imam Hussein during the time

[11:28]of rasulullah there was a group of people that were Hypocrites and

[11:34]today some Muslims they believe that anyone who saw or heard the

[11:38]prophet then this person is an automatic perfect person this person is

[11:43]an automatic person with full Iman full faithful piety we say the

[11:48]sahaba of the Prophet there were many of them that were the

[11:52]best and the greatest of role models that we all have to

[11:54]look at but there were individuals surrounding the prophet that were Hypocrites

[11:58]and this is not what we are saying this is what the

[12:02]Quran says Allah says in the Quran in Surah verse 101 from

[12:07]around you women there are some from the Arab from those the

[12:19]Arabs who are living around outside of Medina in The Villages outside

[12:24]of Medina and then the Quran says there are people from Medina

[12:29]living around the prophet they see the prophet every day means they

[12:36]became experts they're so conniving that when you see them they'll Laugh

[12:41]In Your Face they'll smile they'll come they'll attend in the Masjid

[12:44]probably first row and you see them you you see them as

[12:49]if they are the most religious of people in the community but

[12:52]deep inside brother there's there's seeds here come if you could come

[12:55]forward and then Allah says in the Quran so now why was

[13:22]The ummah Divided why was there um we just finished commemorating Hussain

[13:28]what brought us to the point where 50 years after the death

[13:34]of the Prophet his own grandson is calling for help and he's

[13:37]being killed by an army that just prayed Salah that just prayed

[13:40]Salah in the morning what what brought us to this it is

[13:46]a group of Hypocrites a group of Hypocrites that ended up dividing

[13:49]the ummah and you see that during the time of rasulullah there

[13:55]were Hypocrites during the time of Amir there were hypocrites he's with

[14:03]him they're with him and then in the middle of the battle

[14:08]they turned against the turn against and they force Imam Ali to

[14:12]make a peace treaty with or or to stop the war with

[14:17]even though was being oppressed and the same with Imam and Hussein

[14:25]Hussein what brought him to go want to go to kufa what

[14:32]motivated him to leave his family and go to kufa it were

[14:34]the it was the letters that came out thousands of letters that

[14:41]were sent from kufa to Imam and on the day of Ashura

[14:43]in the morning Imam Hussain he brought out all of these letters

[14:49]he brought out and he started calling them did you not write

[14:53]to me and tell me come be with us and we will

[14:57]support you that day those individuals who were there they lied they

[15:00]said no we did not write to you but Hussein had the

[15:04]letters with him now of course there were some who did invite

[15:06]Imam Hussain and they were imprisoned they were tortured they were not

[15:10]able to be with imams when he was leaving when he was

[15:16]leaving Mecca to head towards the direction of Iraq he saw a

[15:22]poet this poet is very famous for saying words of poetry and

[15:26]praise of imams he he has has a very famous poem and

[15:36]he said it in front of the Khalifa and praise of Imam

[15:43]is Hussein was leaving from Mecca and he tells him the span

[15:53]was coming from the direction of Iraq he tells them how did

[15:55]you what is the situation in Iraq right now what is the

[16:00]situation of the people in kufa he replied he gave an answer

[16:06]that pinpoints the diseases in the hearts he tells them their hearts

[16:15]are with you but their swords are going to be against you

[16:20]he didn't see things the way we see things first of all

[16:26]Hussein he couldn't go back to Medina he couldn't stay in Makkah

[16:29]he was going to be killed in Mecca the only place where

[16:31]there was a significant group of people that had invited him and

[16:37]told him to come was in kufa now kufa has different demographics

[16:39]there were some that were munafa pin and there were Believers but

[16:42]unfortunately the evil outweighed the good and Imam Hussain was killed this

[16:51]is why when the family of Imam and Hussain were brought back

[16:54]to kufa and the sister of Imam and Hussein she stood in

[17:02]the market of kufa people were looking at them and she began

[17:05]to say oh people of betrayal o people that backstab at clone

[17:14]now you're crying they saw the head of Imam Hussain and they

[17:17]started crying you're like the one that worked so hard to do

[17:35]something and then at the end she comes and she and and

[17:39]destroys the whole work that was done now when it comes to

[17:44]the topic of hypocrisy there's a word we always hear being brought

[17:48]up and this is Tatia and you even hear this in islamophobes

[17:55]people who have any time you say something you're like they're like

[17:59]oh these Muslims are doing what is just briefly is the act

[18:04]of hiding your Iman not hiding your kufur not hiding your blasphemy

[18:09]you're hiding your faith for a greater reason to protect your life

[18:15]and the first person that practiced Tatia was one of the companions

[18:19]of rasulullah Amar he was one of the greatest Companions of the

[18:26]Prophet his parents Yasser and sumayya they were the first Martyrs in

[18:32]Islam the the kofar they were torturing Yasser and sumayya until they

[18:36]killed them so they come to Amar and they tell him oh

[18:39]oh Amar you have to mention the name of Hubble mention the

[18:44]name of the idol he saw that they had just killed his

[18:46]father they had just killed his mother so he said and they

[18:52]let him go after torturing him severely then they let him go

[18:57]then he goes and he cries I'm a Believer in God I

[19:03]don't believe in the idols I only believe in Allah but I

[19:05]just saw that my parents were killed in front of me and

[19:10]they were forcing me to say this word a name of one

[19:13]of the idols and I did say it a verse in the

[19:18]Quran came down men except the one that was forced and their

[19:27]heart is filled with Iman then Allah hold this person accountable is

[19:34]is different from hypocrisy and that the person is hiding their Iman

[19:40]to protect their lives and this is allowed in sometimes sometimes it

[19:44]is allowed and the imams of the island they would tell their

[19:47]companions because they were living in a time where if you say

[19:51]I'm a follower of the United States right away you're going to

[19:54]be killed so they would tell their companions sometimes you don't have

[20:01]to come and reveal your full identity and your whole Faith to

[20:05]everyone because that might jeopardize your life yes if you're hiding if

[20:09]you do not have the faith and you're lying and you're showing

[20:13]that you do have faith then this is a type of hypocrisy

[20:16]I will stop here to conclude in the second Club foreign foreign

[21:49]foreign foreign we were talking about the disease of hypocrisy and how

[22:24]it is destructive to the soul and destructive to communities and societies

[22:30]now how do you know how do you recognize a hypocrite can

[22:35]you recognize the Hypocrites in their appearance and their looks no because

[22:39]this is something that is in the hearts this is something that

[22:44]cannot be recognized and it is a disease that's in the hearts

[22:47]however Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala in the Quran gives us some signs

[22:55]that you will lead you to who is a hypocrite and in

[22:57]the Hadith so what are the signs of a hypocrite how can

[23:05]you single out how can you recognize what are the signs and

[23:11]the qualities of a hypocrite Allah says when they talk and you

[23:22]see them you see they're very pleasant in the way that they

[23:25]look when they talk maybe they talk very eloquently maybe they could

[23:31]be the one on the member talking very eloquently elegantly so he

[23:36]says one of the signs is anytime you're you're saying something they'll

[23:58]think you're talking about them because there's a there's a deficiency there's

[24:03]a problem there's an identity crisis that they're going through so anytime

[24:07]you say something right away they'll think you're talking about them but

[24:12]what are some of the signs that Allah mentions one of them

[24:15]is having arrogance towards not wanting to build a bond build a

[24:38]healthy connection Allah will forgive you will ask Allah to forgive you

[24:46]but they would turn their back and they would not want to

[24:50]not want to be around the prophet they would have arrogance towards

[24:57]arrogance towards sujood arrogance towards prayer and you find some people like

[25:01]that you tell them there's a party count me in right away

[25:05]register me there's a Super Bowl game right away register me we're

[25:08]talking about politics right right away I'm involved ah there's a program

[25:13]at the Masjid uh I have I have things going on I

[25:17]have a schedule I have a busy life right away making up

[25:21]a million excuses when it comes to a relationship with God but

[25:24]when it comes to everything else then there are no excuses whatsoever

[25:29]another sign that Allah says in the Quran when when rasulullah would

[25:43]ask people we need support we need to build the community we

[25:46]have an army we need people to come and support the Army

[25:50]what would they go around telling people they would go around telling

[25:55]people don't spend don't spend your money somewhere else you don't need

[25:59]to spend in the name of Islam and in the name of

[26:00]rasulullah they have money and they bring up all of these excuses

[26:04]this is one of the signs that is mentioned in the Quran

[26:09]people that come and tell other people no don't do a good

[26:11]deed you don't need to do a good deed you have enough

[26:14]good deeds and this is a disease there are some people they

[26:16]don't want the good for themselves that's fine you know and and

[26:21]the Lebanese dialect they say yes let them they could do whatever

[26:24]they want with themselves but if you don't want some people they

[26:29]don't want to come and help other people they don't want other

[26:31]people to start praying they don't want other people to do good

[26:34]deeds that is a worse disease you want to stop it for

[26:38]yourself you're you're free to do what you want but you come

[26:40]and you do it for other people another sign from Imam the

[26:45]signs of a hypocrite he says four signs of hypocrisy what are

[26:54]they one the heart is hardened sometimes the hearts get hardened you

[27:01]hear of an orphan you hear of someone in need and you're

[27:07]like so what people are not moved anymore we the Aquaman we

[27:11]read it it doesn't do anything to our hearts reading the Quran

[27:14]does not do anything to our hearts when we pray we don't

[27:18]feel that sense of connection with God we don't feel the hearts

[27:21]has become so hardened and this is a disease the heart is

[27:26]supposed to be soft the heart is supposed to have emotions we're

[27:31]supposed to when we see suffering in the world when we see

[27:34]people are going through Agony and violence and all that we're we

[27:37]are supposed to have that sense of you know tenderness in the

[27:45]heart he was the bravest man in the battlefield but there was

[27:50]one weakness and that was he would break down when he sees

[27:55]an orphan he sees an orphan he would sit and he would

[27:57]begin to cry when he sees the orphan this is a sign

[28:02]of the tenderness of the heart this is a sign of a

[28:05]soft heart especially towards the meaning especially towards the Believers and the

[28:09]signs of uh hypocrisy according to Imam is the eyes don't tear

[28:20]up now sometimes you know it's hard to tear up if there's

[28:27]other people around you if there's something going on but one of

[28:30]the signs of a man is they used to see him he's

[28:39]speaking he sees an orphan or something goes up or when he's

[28:42]talking to God his tears would be flowing down his face so

[28:46]this is a good sign today some people they come and they

[28:48]say oh you're not man you're not a man if you're going

[28:51]to be crying no you are having that that's toxic masculinity if

[28:55]you want to be a real man you're going to have to

[29:00]be gentle you're going to have to be kind so jamu the

[29:02]line having the Frozen eyes meaning the eyes do not tear up

[29:06]this is one of the signs of nifak foreign insisting on a

[29:19]sin we sin Muharram comes we ask Allah for forgiveness the next

[29:22]day we go back to the same sin the next day everything

[29:28]is back to normal this is meaning I don't care meaning I'm

[29:30]going to do what I will have to do and this is

[29:34]Haram and the fourth was attachment to Dunya when we're so attachment

[29:39]attached to this Dunya it blinds us of the reality that we're

[29:43]living in it blinds us that we are eventually going to have

[29:47]to leave this Dunya another Point uh this is a Hadith from

[29:51]rasulullah he says so that that was the first Hadith from Imam

[29:55]he says four signs of hypocrisy this one rasulullah he says three

[30:00]are signs of hypocrisy and they don't contradict one another these are

[30:06]all signs of hypocrisy he says when he speaks he's lying when

[30:12]they speak they lie because if you're lying you're you're hiding you're

[30:16]you're not believing you're coming and you're showing that you believe or

[30:21]with other people if someone is lying they lie once or twice

[30:24]or three times around you maybe they're not lying to you but

[30:26]you heard them lie to someone else no that the next time

[30:30]they're going to lie to you this is one of the signs

[30:34]this is why be away stay away from someone who you see

[30:36]them lying to other people because if they're lying to other people

[30:40]the next time it's going to be lying to you second and

[30:46]when they promise they break their promise this is also signs of

[30:52]a hypocrisy of a hypocrite when they make a promise they don't

[30:55]fulfill their promise oh something came up they always they always have

[31:00]an excuse when you're a motman you've made a promise you've made

[31:06]you've set a time you have to respect that time you have

[31:08]to respect the conditions that you have with other people and the

[31:15]third and when they are trusted you trust a person with a

[31:18]dollar or a hundred dollars or a hundred thousand dollars or a

[31:21]million dollars they could not keep their trust doesn't matter how much

[31:26]it is sometimes they'll oh it was nothing it was simple no

[31:30]if you are trusted with something you have to keep the promise

[31:33]my dear brothers and sisters these are some signs of a hypocrite

[31:35]I have another point I wanted to mention is um the issue

[31:41]and the subject of the burning of the Quran a few days

[31:46]ago there was the Islamic centers they all gathered and many of

[31:49]you participated there was a protest um against the burning of the

[31:56]Quran and this is excellent we need to raise awareness we need

[31:59]to show our strength if we stay quiet every time they want

[32:03]to come and burn the Quran every time they talk about the

[32:05]prophet and we say it's okay it's no big deal then this

[32:09]this is a sign of our weakness they're going to do it

[32:11]again and again and again today there are some communities no one

[32:15]dares talk about why because the moment you talk about that Community

[32:20]the moment you talk about that group of people immediately you're going

[32:23]to see it all over CNN you're going to see it all

[32:27]over Fox News and everyone's afraid to talk about it but no

[32:30]one is afraid to talk about the Quran or the or the

[32:34]religion of Islam now we're not saying we want to cause fear

[32:35]in the hearts of people but we're saying that this is not

[32:39]freedom of speech this is hate speech and hate speech should not

[32:43]be tolerated wherever it is wherever it is it should not be

[32:46]tolerated so um of course unfortunately one of the signs of hypocrisy

[32:54]in this country and in the media is that when a Muslim

[32:58]does something wrong you see it all over the news but the

[33:01]main news channels did not cover thousands of people thousands of people

[33:05]are protesting they did not cover it they didn't talk about it

[33:09]but if you find one crazy Muslim doing something that is wrong

[33:12]it will be all over and this is one of the signs

[33:17]of hypocrisy now my dear brothers and sisters protesting is an excellent

[33:20]thing we have the freedom of speech and we have to protest

[33:23]any time the Quran is treated in that way we have to

[33:29]protest but I'll tell you a better way to protest I'll tell

[33:30]you a better way to preserve the Quran and that is by

[33:37]memorizing the Quran that is by memorizing Asura in the Quran if

[33:40]you want to make sure that the Quran is going to be

[33:45]preserved teach your children to learn chapters of the Quran the Quran

[33:49]is memorized and preserved in our hearts if all of the qurans

[33:54]on the face of the Earth were burned the Quran would not

[33:56]be lost today why because the Quran is carried in the hearts

[34:01]of the name the Quran is memorized in the hearts of many

[34:04]and all over the world in every prayer we have to read

[34:08]Quran so do yourself a favor and memorize more chapters of the

[34:12]Quran the last Joseph of the Quran has short surahs I'm not

[34:16]telling you go memorize I'm telling you memorize some some surahs are

[34:25]half a page some surahs are just a quarter of a page

[34:29]if you memorize these you will be memorizing the Quran and this

[34:33]is one of the best ways to preserve the Quran and sanctify

[34:36]the Quran my dear brothers and sisters a final message alhamdulillah during

[34:43]this Ashura during this maharram we were able to reach over a

[34:48]hundred eight hundred and twenty thousand dollars of our 950 goal so

[34:55]the goal is 950 for the land we reached eight hundred and

[34:58]twenty thousand dollars alhamdulillah and this is due to the generous donations

[35:02]of the community but we still have a hundred and thirty thousand

[35:04]dollars left and we have a couple weeks end of August towards

[35:08]closing inshallah so if you have not participated if you have not

[35:13]donated if you would like to share in the tawab in this

[35:15]and building a community center purchasing the land towards the community center

[35:21]this is your opportunity and we've said this from the beginning this

[35:24]is a blessing that has come our way this is a Nama

[35:30]an opportunity that has come out our way we either take it

[35:31]or someone else is going to take this number so take advantage

[35:36]of this opportunity to give in the way of Allah and that

[35:42]is what will remain this is that that which you give is

[35:44]what will remain in your name foreign
