[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
