[0:12][Music] as Salah allahar Akbar alh ald muh respected brothers and sister

[3:30]sisters there is no question that our lives and our afterlife our

[3:40]life and our afterlife is shaped by our actions whatever you do

[3:46]in this life it will have an impact on you not only

[3:52]in the not only on the day of judgment but you will

[3:54]also see the consequences of your actions in this dun we have

[4:02]verses in the Quran we have narrations that discuss this now usually

[4:07]we see the consequences of our actions in the afterlife but sometimes

[4:14]there are certain things that we do where the consequence will be

[4:18]immediate in this life as well as the afterlife for example there

[4:23]are certain things that you could do in your life that will

[4:26]increase the Baraka that will increase the blessings to your life Allah

[4:31]subhah wa ta'ala will bless you for certain things that you do

[4:38]for example giving s you give charity the narration says that Allah

[4:43]will remove the balah Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will give you and

[4:47]increase your risk Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala or if you have you're

[4:52]connected with your family Allah subhah wa ta'ala will prolong your life

[4:56]these are some things that we cannot science cannot come in tell

[5:01]us how there's a correlation behind this but there are verses in

[5:07]the Quran there's from and from the prophets and the imams now

[5:14]there's also certain things that bring the wrath of Allah subhanahu wa

[5:19]ta'ala upon us there are certain things certain actions that we do

[5:27]that take away the from Allah from us that Allah subhanahu wa

[5:31]ta'ala take away his blessings from us we mention in Dua K

[5:35]the Dua that is recited on Thursday nights or anytime by he

[5:53]says oh Allah forgive me for the sins that bring God's wrath

[6:00]upon me forgive me for the sins that take away the blessings

[6:03]from me forgive me for the sins that hold down the Dua

[6:11]they contain and restrict the Dua from reaching Allah subhana tala from

[6:17]amongst from amongst those sins those actions that have immediate consequences is

[6:28]oppression oppressing other people oppressing anyone in this life anyone around you

[6:37]the consequences are immediate the consequences will be sensed and will be

[6:44]felt in this D before the and of course when we talk

[6:50]about oppression there's several types of Oppression sometimes I could be oppressing

[6:53]God sometimes I could be oppressing myself sometimes I could be oppressing

[6:59]other people and with each category with each type of Oppression the

[7:05]consequences are different he says he says oppression is three time three

[7:15]types there's one oppression that God does not forgive and what is

[7:20]that associating a partner with God because you are not even acknowledging

[7:27]God at that point you're you believe that there's someone else you're

[7:31]worshiping someone else and something else and then there's another that Allah

[7:38]will not leave behind and then there's a third type that is

[7:45]that Allah subhana will forgive he says as for the oppression that

[7:54]God does not forgive is associating a partner with God associating a

[7:58]partner with God Allah does not forgive why because you're asking someone

[8:02]else you're worshiping someone else or something else and you want God

[8:07]to reward you does that make sense it doesn't make sense as

[8:14]for the the oppression that God forgives this is when we oppress

[8:18]ourselves when we do wrong when we make mistakes and then we

[8:25]feel the repentance we ask Allah Allah will forgive us for these

[8:32]and as for the that Allah says I will forgive you from

[8:36]my part but I still can't forgive you for it because you

[8:39]need to go and settle your score with other people and that

[8:43]is when we oppress other people that is when we become tyrannical

[8:46]towards other people that is when we start hurting and abusing and

[8:50]oppressing other people and this is something that we will be held

[8:55]accountable for some people this is why you have to be very

[9:00]careful and when we think of when we think of Oppression we

[9:05]think of for example a king oppressing people a president oppressing people

[9:10]no sometimes a husband and wife they could be oppressing one another

[9:15]sometimes neighbors could be oppressing one another sometimes children could be oppressing

[9:20]one another and this is something that is very common this something

[9:25]that happens all the time and we have to be very careful

[9:29]from it maybe you might oppress someone in your household maybe you

[9:33]might oppress an animal Allah subhana wa tala will hold you accountable

[9:37]for an employee whatever it is and we have to be very

[9:41]careful because some people they say no no no I have enough

[9:43]Good Deeds I have so many good deeds that I will go

[9:48]to heaven immediately it's okay if I've oppressed people there's a Hadith

[9:52]from he says on the day of judgment the person will come

[10:03]before God and he is very proud of his Good Deeds his

[10:08]Good Deeds have made him very happy you're standing and you think

[10:18]you're going to have an expedited pass to Paradise until someone comes

[10:24]and says oh Allah this person has oppressed me oh Allah this

[10:28]person hurt me oh Allah this person did this and this to

[10:33]wrong me Allah will take from The Good Deeds is saying this

[10:43]Allah takes from The Good Deeds of this man who has so

[10:47]many good deeds and he will compense and he will give the

[10:49]other person the other person who was oppressed he will give him

[10:54]and give him and give him until the score is settled and

[10:57]then he says then more and more people they come and they

[11:06]say this person oppressed me he has a lot of good deeds

[11:10]but he he used to oppress people so then he ran out

[11:14]of Good Deeds he ran out of Good Deeds so that they

[11:16]give other people so now says they come and they give him

[11:21]the bad Deeds of other people they give him the bad Deeds

[11:24]of other people they keep they keep taking from him the good

[11:32]deeds and they keep giving him the bad Deeds to settle the

[11:36]score because of his oppression until this person is thrown in the

[11:39]Hellfire my dear brothers and sisters the consequences the consequences of Oppression

[11:47]are severe and we should not take it lightly even if maybe

[11:53]you might see someone who is beneath you maybe someone who works

[11:56]under you maybe between a husband and wife one word maybe between

[12:00]a father and a son whatever it is we have to be

[12:07]very careful not to be from the not to be from the

[12:09]oppressors and there are consequences one of the first and immediate consequences

[12:14]of is that it destroys the heart destroys the heart maybe your

[12:20]money maybe your bank account maybe all of these things are not

[12:25]going to be touched but the moment you become an oppressor your

[12:28]heart is going to be infected and once the heart is infected

[12:32]then this heart is not powerful enough to reach Allah subhah wa

[12:39]ta'ala then this heart the Dua cannot take off then we see

[12:42]why is our Dua not being accepted why is Allah subhah wa

[12:47]taala not listening to us because we are asking Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala

[12:51]with a heart that is filled with oppression and this is why

[12:55]we have to be very careful not to taint our hearts with

[13:00]wrong doing there's other consequences from amongst the other consequences he says

[13:11]oppression in this D it will make you slip on the on

[13:16]the day of judgment you know there's a there's a path that

[13:19]everyone has to go over that path that everyone has to go

[13:24]over imagine it a bridge taking you to paradise and beneath you

[13:30]is the Hellfire meaning it will make a person slip on the

[13:37]day you're not going to have a solid foundation on the day

[13:44]of judgment and it takes away the takes away the blessings from

[13:48]Allah subhanahu waala and not only does it destroy one person but

[13:56]it destroys Nations it destroys Nation Nations yes let these nations have

[14:03]the strongest military in the world let this nation have the most

[14:07]powerful f-16s the moment it becomes and it crosses into it crosses

[14:17]into oppressing other people not dealing with other people with Justice Allah

[14:23]subhah wa taala tells us in the Quran that not only your

[14:25]nation but all the nations before that were oppressors they were [Music]

[14:36]destroyed Allah says all of these nations that were destroyed that Allah

[14:40]mentions in the Quran they were destroyed not because of their kufur

[14:45]there's there's narrations that say that a kufur a cfir person as

[14:52]long as they're not hurting anyone Allah says you live you're not

[14:55]hurting anyone but the moment you begin to transgress the moment you

[14:58]begin to oppress whether you're Muslim or cfir or whatever it is

[15:03]that's the moment that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will destroy that nation

[15:07]that is the moment Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will take away the

[15:17]power from you this is one the fourth is that with life

[15:21]of a person is shortened the life of a nation and the

[15:27]life of an individual the Hadith says the one who oppresses their

[15:34]life will be cut their age will be cut short and there's

[15:38]a correlation between we mentioned earlier if you have a healthy tie

[15:44]with your family Allah will prolong your life and if you disconnect

[15:46]with your family Allah will take from your life because when you

[15:52]disconnect from your family essentially what are you doing you're doing you're

[15:57]oppressing them you're oppressing them so therefore there is the Allah subhanahu

[16:02]wa ta'ala will cut from a person's life now maybe Allah subhanahu

[16:07]wa ta'ala talking about life some people say yeah but we see

[16:10]this mentioned but why do we see these nations they oppress they

[16:14]abuse and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala allows them to carry on with

[16:21]their oppression the reality my dear brothers and sisters is that in

[16:26]the end all oppressors will lose no oppressor will win in the

[16:29]eyes of Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala but sometimes Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala because

[16:35]God works not like us we want something we want it right

[16:40]away Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala maybe God sees an oppressor but Allah will

[16:45]allow this oppressor to remain for a short while short while because

[16:49]compared to Eternity this person this person is definitely going maybe a

[16:54]couple of months maybe a couple of years for certain reasons one

[16:57]of the reasons is the that Allah subhah wa ta'ala gives everyone

[17:02]the opportunity to turn back to him Allah subhana wa ta'ala gives

[17:06]everyone the opportunity to repent and turn back to Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala

[17:11]this is one and we all any this is why anytime we

[17:15]have done something wrong anytime we have oppressed anytime we hurt ourselves

[17:21]or hurt other people we have to immediately turn back to Allah

[17:25]subhana tala immediately ask for and turn to Allah second sometimes Allah

[17:31]allows aim to stay in power to stay in their position because

[17:35]God is just Allah is and Allah subhah wa tala maybe this

[17:41]has done this much but they've also done some good in their

[17:44]life right maybe they've done something good in their life so Allah

[17:51]subhana wa taala says that this person yes because of their because

[17:54]of their disbelief because of their wrongdoing they're not going to go

[17:57]to heaven so let me give them the few remaining days in

[18:03]this D let them enjoy this D and this is why Allah

[18:05]says in the Quran some people Allah just gives them this duny

[18:14]but in the they don't have anything in the they're not going

[18:18]to have anything because they were only focused on this Dunya maybe

[18:22]this person was aim but maybe they were doing something good there's

[18:26]a Hadith it says that pharaoh he used to because he used

[18:33]to see himself as God so he used to feed people every

[18:35]day every day he used to order for 500 sheep to be

[18:40]slaughtered and feed people because he used to regard himself as R

[18:43]and he says by I'm God I have to feed people so

[18:47]he kept doing this for a while then he saw it's not

[18:51]you know it's not getting him anything they're they're still not worshiping

[18:55]him so he goes to Haman Haman was his advice visor and

[18:59]Allah subhana T mentions Haman in the Quran as well he tells

[19:04]Haman he tells him how should I cut short how should I

[19:06]end this ham tells him every day Slaughter one sheep less so

[19:14]say for example you Slaughter 500 sheep tomorrow Slaughter 499 because if

[19:19]you just suddenly stop then they're going to protest they're going to

[19:24]not they're going to turn against you every day cut one short

[19:29]and the Hadith says he started cutting one short 499 498 497

[19:34]he started going down until the last day he gave the last

[19:40]day of his life he slaughtered one the next day where there

[19:42]was no there was nothing good coming out of him that was

[19:47]the day died that was the day the punishment of Allah subhanahu

[19:49]wa'ta'ala Came Upon F sometimes we don't realize it we look at

[19:52]this person as pure evil but maybe this person is doing some

[19:57]good Allah subhah wa ta'ala looks at the equation and Allah allows

[20:01]this to remain in this D only not in the and another

[20:08]reason the third reason is that sometimes Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala allows a

[20:15]person to to because this person is not worthy because this person

[20:20]has done so much wrong Allah says take more of this D

[20:26]so that you fall worse and worse away from Allah tala in

[20:30]a from he says Allah meaning God is patient God is Not

[20:37]Hasty like us until the says yes I did whatever I did

[20:46]and God did not punish me then Allah will take this person

[20:57]in a time that they least except expect in says he says

[21:12]says that God praised himself he said when he punished this is

[21:27]in verse 45 my dear brothers and sisters I will conclude here

[21:31]to go on to the second alhamdulillah [Music] [Music] muham [Music] muham

[23:07]husin Muhammed Ali Muhammad almami my dear brothers and sisters as we

[23:35]are speaking of Oppression today and these days we and the whole

[23:41]world is witnessing oppression before our eyes we are witnessing a genocide

[23:48]take place we are witnessing the bombing and the destruction of homes

[23:55]of innocent people women and children and families that have nothing to

[24:03]do with the political situation they are being killed and bombed day

[24:08]and night while the whole world is watching and the whole world

[24:12]is quiet and silent and this is oppression if this is not

[24:16]oppression then what is oppression and we see and we know that

[24:26]a just leader should not be oppressing a just leader should not

[24:30]dehumanize people a just leader should recognize the rights of every single

[24:36]human being a just leader should not be biased and have bias

[24:42]towards other people but in the past few days we have seen

[24:45]the leadership in America and at the helm the president of the

[24:52]United States of America oppressing people treating people with Injustice dehumanizing ing

[24:59]the Palestinian people where the number the number of people that have

[25:05]been killed he comes and he questions it a hospital is bombed

[25:12]and he comes and he questions this where the United States under

[25:17]the leadership of Biden keeps vetoing United Nations resolutions that are calling

[25:23]for a ceasefire and above all of that they are giving the

[25:27]bombs and the weapons and the green and the green light for

[25:33]Israel to carry out its genocide and its oppression where innocent people

[25:38]are being killed where members of the United Nations are being killed

[25:43]where the press the Press members of the press and the family

[25:47]of members of the press are being targeted just to silence just

[25:54]to silence people over 7,000 people have been killed and this conflict

[26:00]so far and this bombing indiscriminate bombing where over 19,000 people have

[26:06]been injured and from those who were killed and those who were

[26:10]injured are many children we've seen the children on TV we've seen

[26:17]the corpses of these children being carried by their parents and by

[26:22]others my dear brothers and sisters this is not Justice and the

[26:26]irony is that the president of the United States and these countries

[26:30]they speak in the name of Human Rights they speak in the

[26:35]name of Justice they bully other countries because they're not just they

[26:40]bully other countries and they invade other countries because these countries do

[26:46]not recognize human rights where are the human rights right now if

[26:49]the people of Palestine were animals you would see more people speak

[26:53]out against them against this oppression if they were anything other than

[27:00]who they are just because they are the people of Palestine you

[27:03]see the whole world is silent Democrats Republicans everyone is quiet no

[27:09]one is defending them ignore the fact that they're Muslim they're human

[27:13]beings how can you allow for human beings for innocent human beings

[27:20]to be treated in this in this way and my dear brothers

[27:22]and sisters this is not right this is Injustice these are the

[27:29]double stand standards that we see carried out by politicians we need

[27:33]to go back to our Humanity we need to learn how to

[27:39]treat with people with Justice regardless of their religion regardless of their

[27:43]sect regardless of their faith no innocent person is supposed to be

[27:48]treated like that Allah subhah wa ta'ala is The Giver of Life

[27:50]and Allah is the one who takes the life no one has

[27:54]the right to take the life of an innocent person let me

[28:01]conclude with this he was a very just leader and and the

[28:08]reason I want to say this is because witnessed oppression before his

[28:13]eyes and he is the first victim of Oppression but that did

[28:18]not make him an oppressor he ruled he ruled for a few

[28:21]years but he never oppressed not even an ant he says if

[28:27]I were to be given the seven heavens and everything that they

[28:33]have so that I take a piece of grain from an ant

[28:34]I would never do that I would never treat an ant with

[28:40]Injustice let alone a person he says he says I would rather

[29:00]be tied up and dragged in the desert where all the Thorns

[29:03]go into my body and I would rather have that happen to

[29:09]me than I oppress a single person than I take away something

[29:12]wrongfully from a single person in one of his he mentions how

[29:21]the army of mu they started encroaching on the land that was

[29:25]ruling he was the but mua declared his own government in sham

[29:31]and they started raiding some of the villages and some of the

[29:39]cities that is the ruler of so they attacked albar albar is

[29:43]the west of Iraq and in those places there were Villages where

[29:48]there were Muslims and non-muslims mu meaning Christians and Jews that were

[29:56]living under the protection of the Islamic government and the Army the

[30:02]army of muaw they would come and they would sack and raid

[30:08]and kill and abuse and steal from people regardless of their religion

[30:12]so he says he says he says news came to me that

[30:20]one of their men from their army he comes a lady that

[30:29]is Muslim and the other one who is meaning whether Muslim or

[30:33]not they would come and they would blindly attack them he says

[30:49]they come and they steal and they snatch her earrings or her

[30:54]or her necklace or whatever it is and she has no power

[30:58]all she does is cry and she says and give me some

[31:05]mercy and then he says then they left the village and they

[31:14]left the village and no one stood to defend them no one

[31:18]stood to defend the oppressed no one said hey what what do

[31:22]these people have to do with it no one spoke anything and

[31:27]then he says when I see this oppression he says he says

[31:40]if a Muslim hears that a Muslim lady or a non-muslim lady

[31:46]is attacked and treated the way the army of mua treated these

[31:49]ladies and this person dies out of Agony and pain I don't

[31:54]blame this person he says if you hear of such a thing

[31:55]and you die out of the pain I I wouldn't blame you

[31:59]this is the justice of Al but today where is the Justice

[32:04]in the world where are those who speak in the name of

[32:07]justice and human rights to defend the oppressed people of Palestine who

[32:11]are being bombed who their hospitals are running out of power they

[32:16]don't have electricity they don't have water they don't have food and

[32:19]everyone is silent my dear brothers and sisters if the world remains

[32:23]silent that doesn't mean that that's not an excuse for us to

[32:26]remain silent we have to speak out do whatever you can to

[32:32]speak out against the Injustice that you're seeing and I wanted to

[32:36]announce that tomorrow inshallah there's a unified rally and March in Downtown

[32:42]Detroit and this you have multiple organizations all over all over the

[32:47]area they're all coming out and my dear brothers and sisters this

[32:52]is the least thing that we could do if you're free if

[32:55]you are able to go I hire highly recommend that you go

[32:59]and you join this protest because now it's all about numbers when

[33:04]they see there's thousands and many people out there then they will

[33:08]say come election season these people are not going to vote for

[33:13]me and then they're going to hear you out so my dear

[33:15]brothers and sisters this is the least thing that we can do

[33:20]of course we have to also pray for the m and pray
