  1. foreign
  2. my bad we thank him
  3. and we've been witnessed that there is
  4. no God but one God
  5. is
  6. he conveyed this message
  7. to us
  8. in a way that's in this world and in the
  9. Hereafter May Allah's peace
  10. and blessings and saluting his dear and
  11. beloved Prophet sallallah Allah
  12. there's
  13. alhamdulillah
  14. we live at a time to be aware
  15. of what is
  16. surrounding us
  17. and then the way people think because
  18. we are human beings whatever the people
  19. around us are talking about will rub up
  20. on us
  21. and will affect us not immune just
  22. because
  23. like there's no one immune from the of
  24. culture
  25. the waves of societal changes if you're
  26. not something if you don't stand on a
  27. strong Foundation of faith
  28. and understanding Swept Away with this
  29. subhanallah wave of of friends and
  30. things that are happening around us
  31. this is we are
  32. in general Islam stands for social
  33. political Justice
  34. economical Justice and spiritual Justice
  35. right and I I just want to get it out of
  36. the way that we are at the season
  37. with this state your voice and make your
  38. voice heard
  39. you have to stand up for something good
  40. right
  41. beneficial something that with as a
  42. Muslim and you need to participate and
  43. bringing better people in you know
  44. putting them you know forgetting about
  45. the whole thing and thinking the world
  46. will get fixed by gonna happen
  47. so it's part of you as a Muslim of your
  48. duty
  49. you know we are what we call issues
  50. voters we're not partying voters
  51. we hold ourselves
  52. to the values of our faith and based on
  53. this value so I just wanted to say that
  54. because
  55. um subhanallah was 20.
  56. a group of tribes in Arabia
  57. got together tribes they made a pact
  58. a treaty
  59. so what's the pack pressed in Mecca we
  60. will give him back his rights we will
  61. give him back uh his his right and and
  62. and and and his rights so shall we will
  63. stand with the weak against the strong
  64. and
  65. foreign
  66. against the oppressor
  67. very interesting
  68. in Medina
  69. towards the end of his life he said I
  70. was invited to to a treaty if I was
  71. invited to it today
  72. I was invited days of Japanese and I
  73. answered I stood with it if I was
  74. invited to it today I would still answer
  75. and I would still be part of it so
  76. that's why because we're people
  77. that we have values social values
  78. economical values we we vote based on
  79. these values not based on
  80. party lines
  81. or just blindfolds because you know I
  82. know them or they know me and we have
  83. friends therefore I'll vote for you is
  84. like
  85. you you enjoying good and you for that
  86. that's how you heard how do you you do
  87. that you do that with your voice the
  88. prophet saws
  89. with your words if you cannot with your
  90. heart and that's the least
  91. of all
  92. uh Panola the list of email man the
  93. prophet sallallahu said
  94. my dear brothers and sisters still in
  95. this uh that we're talking about the
  96. prophets
  97. because I'll tell you
  98. we will not be able
  99. to the waves around us
  100. and it's all waves of doubts
  101. even doubting that which is factual
  102. factual like literally the facts are
  103. called
  104. lies and the lies are called and the
  105. facts are called fake news
  106. and the fake news is called it's a fact
  107. at the time you have to know that in
  108. general
  109. falsehood survives on life is they want
  110. to say
  111. Allah
  112. in order to end anchor us throws the
  113. anchor down
  114. then now the ship is not gonna go
  115. and move because of the wind
  116. because it's anchored what is
  117. what is our as our faith but we're human
  118. beings
  119. we we we we usually doesn't like the
  120. first role model when you were a child
  121. and a baby
  122. and a toddler for parents
  123. right and they instilled they knew so
  124. many values and so many
  125. you know it's very interesting when you
  126. know
  127. at 13 years old 14 years old standard
  128. what did you do for me anyway because 13
  129. years old they think that they were born
  130. when they were 13 they think in their
  131. head it's part of the maturity
  132. you know the only thing that the parents
  133. did everything
  134. including knowing how to hold a spoon
  135. how to speak a word and when you didn't
  136. know how to use the bathroom they
  137. actually changed your diapers for two
  138. years that's all what they think you
  139. know and all the food that you ate in
  140. your life and all the clothes and all
  141. the rent
  142. you're still alive today and that's
  143. aside from Allah using me
  144. so the thing is
  145. if we don't anchor ourselves with law
  146. Muhammad rasulullah
  147. you see
  148. the hours
  149. the surroundings in general there's a
  150. few things that are very clear number
  151. one
  152. individualism
  153. me uh what's important is it's not my
  154. family are not my neighbors not this me
  155. I and myself individualism
  156. this is this is a Allah spoke of it in
  157. the Quran which is taking your own self
  158. and your own desire as the whole world
  159. has to attend to you you're everyone
  160. should only care about is
  161. you've seen the one who took his own
  162. desire as his own God
  163. his own desire God subhanallah
  164. today
  165. part of this individualism
  166. in our youth and our children do
  167. whatever you like do what whatever may
  168. do whatever makes you feel good
  169. so subhanallah
  170. animals don't do that
  171. like even animals if they adhere to the
  172. laws or to these advices they want to
  173. even survive
  174. so this idea I feel happy do
  175. we don't do whatever makes us feel happy
  176. because what if it makes someone hands
  177. of people
  178. and you are one of these people boom
  179. what if you were one of the people that
  180. in in China
  181. the the number one killer in the history
  182. of mankind that we Genghis Khan 40
  183. million people killed
  184. at that time that was 20 percent of the
  185. world one person 12 of the world
  186. population what if you one of the people
  187. that
  188. he felt so good killing you
  189. do whatever makes you feel good
  190. it's me
  191. Hitler feels so good killing 12 million
  192. people
  193. million of them as they say
  194. different different numbers different
  195. statistics
  196. because they were not healthy enough
  197. they had
  198. a depression uh a sickness they had
  199. he said I want a clear so that when any
  200. two people get married to people to be
  201. healthy
  202. do whatever makes you feel good do
  203. whatever means you destroys the family
  204. family and destroys the society that's
  205. not how we live this is all
  206. individualism means I only care about
  207. myself and that's why I tell you my dear
  208. teach your children from a young age to
  209. care not only about themselves in their
  210. family
  211. not only about themselves teach them
  212. from a young young age
  213. unbelievable new way of life
  214. you don't need to help
  215. and I want you to stop study and make
  216. good grades
  217. any
  218. you know even that like you know when
  219. you go to work you're not going to sit
  220. down and study at work
  221. they'll kick you up oh I'm reading go
  222. and read at home this is the time for
  223. work
  224. studying it you know and some kids
  225. they're not good with studying they're
  226. fidgeting
  227. and and that they can do with their
  228. hands if everyone has to sit down and
  229. just read and read and read and cookie
  230. cutter that we have put all human beings
  231. in
  232. subhanallah it's uh well for the society
  233. the people who we have very successful
  234. people
  235. and either
  236. illegal or legal drugs you're gonna
  237. either have to take legal drugs and then
  238. there's a few that are successful
  239. and then the whole society has to this
  240. is not a good recipe it's all comes from
  241. individualism
  242. individual Islam present against
  243. individualism
  244. in Islam
  245. you survive not even in a family
  246. you know they say people oh the family
  247. is the new nuclear family in Islam is
  248. not nuclear it's molecular
  249. meaning cells live together like all
  250. these cells of the liver
  251. there and help one another the cells of
  252. your liver look different than the cells
  253. of your lungs look different than the
  254. cells of your kidneys
  255. they're they're they work together
  256. subhanallah
  257. and culture now where we came from you
  258. know all of your uncles
  259. you see them all most of their children
  260. and aunts paternal and maternal you know
  261. the entire large family you know your
  262. grandparents if you make a mistake
  263. public mistake you're not yourself to
  264. shame you're gonna put your entire
  265. family to shame and you're gonna have
  266. 150 people which will put you back in
  267. line because we don't function as
  268. individuals
  269. individuals individuals
  270. shaytan hunts the lonely world
  271. s
  272. that's what happens when you are an
  273. individual that's why Allah in his
  274. system that's why you come and pray in
  275. the message five times because you don't
  276. want to stay by yourself unlock stay
  277. alone you have to be within Jamaica with
  278. the jamaa someone is I'm gonna say
  279. something beautiful to you someone is
  280. with a word and you need that maybe
  281. you're not gonna like it but you need it
  282. so that's individualism that's number
  283. one
  284. the other main thing is the new
  285. wave is you are a hero if you're
  286. confused certain
  287. if you have values principles Truth
  288. Versus Falsehood right good versus bad
  289. oh
  290. your old style You're Nobody
  291. in order to cool and in order to be a
  292. hero you have to be confused about if
  293. God you have
  294. to be confused if we need a religion or
  295. not
  296. you have to be confused about life
  297. itself and you like what is life doing
  298. to me and why is life is doing this to
  299. be confused about yourself you have to
  300. be confused about your own gender you
  301. have to be confused about
  302. subhanallah
  303. it's fascinating doubt doubt doubt if
  304. you don't if you come out and say I'm
  305. doubtful I'm confused
  306. hero in one you have a PhD in that we're
  307. very good at doubting anything and
  308. everything
  309. if even that which is very clear like
  310. the sun in the middle of a summer day
  311. blue skies and big sun I don't know if
  312. this is a Sun or the Moon
  313. I don't know what's left for us to doubt
  314. I think the next is Earth maybe we live
  315. on Mars and we don't know it
  316. it's just about
  317. why because when you have a person who's
  318. doubtful then what happens
  319. person do whatever you want them to do
  320. you
  321. move them like a chess game right
  322. turn left turn right they'll turn right
  323. move forward
  324. go backward they will go backward
  325. because there's nothing certain in life
  326. you stand on nothing
  327. you stand on a flowing or waves
  328. no solid foundation
  329. that's why my Dearborn sisters I advise
  330. you to all your children
  331. have a conversation over dinner hope
  332. this sometimes they say oh they said if
  333. they're not interested make them
  334. interested
  335. right if
  336. if if if
  337. 25 minutes
  338. without their phone and talking to the
  339. ones
  340. to them and then again
  341. then there is a problem
  342. you have a problem
  343. when you have a whole week to talk to
  344. your friends when you sit in a lecture
  345. minutes 15 minutes you can't sit down
  346. without looking at your phone and
  347. without this you to become a loser when
  348. you grow up because with not focusing
  349. you can't achieve anything in life
  350. you gotta have some you have to treat
  351. something that something has to be holy
  352. respectful what does it mean holy
  353. that it is
  354. very if you hold it
  355. the message is Holy
  356. the jummah is Holy something is Holy
  357. pure poor Divine which treat it as such
  358. a happy sitting down talking with your
  359. friends to the right and left and
  360. laughing now you can do that can do that
  361. you don't have to do it when you're
  362. sitting
  363. there's certain things that has to be
  364. respected
  365. there's certain things that has to be
  366. holy nothing is Holy to you then they
  367. have no value in your life
  368. and that's that's what's to come
  369. and sit down I thought Focus 10 15 20
  370. minutes
  371. you know even mashallah right now which
  372. we never dreamed of we were children I
  373. mean beat that
  374. how can you beat that
  375. alhamdulillah
  376. this in us the love and respect of Allah
  377. and his missions
  378. Foundation of certainty
  379. may Allah give us a solid foundation of
  380. certainty may Allah make us people who
  381. care about others like they care about
  382. themselves may Allah take all of this
  383. entered this and and individualism away
  384. from us and make us people that will
  385. better place I mean

  389. [Music]
  390. winter is the spring of the believer the
  391. days are short he's fast
  392. the nights are so long in the winter you
  393. can literally see fully eight hours and
  394. wake up and play out for two hours
  395. before surgery
  396. winter is that spring of the believer
  397. also in West Falls you make Dua your Dua
  398. is you cannot beat the winter
  399. so brothers and sisters use your winter
  400. wisely
  401. there's a an expression today right like
  402. we're gonna watch four hours binge on
  403. four to six students
  404. and we're gonna just watch our life away
  405. at least that people we used to sit down
  406. for four hours
  407. playing chess and that made us smarter
  408. Allah
  409. but now just you're just watching like
  410. in a state of being zombie
  411. subhanallah this is really very very
  412. you know
  413. something that you need to bring to your
  414. family something that you need to be in
  415. control uh your children are are
  416. interested to you once you troll of them
  417. this has been between them and Allah and
  418. it's not your responsibility but when
  419. they you have to give them physical
  420. activities mental activities they can
  421. watch 24 7 when they have nothing to do
  422. they're either looking looking at their
  423. phone or they're looking at the TVs to
  424. life than that
  425. young people don't know what's good for
  426. them
  427. it's very well known when I was young I
  428. did not know what was it for me may
  429. Allah reward my parents making me do
  430. what I didn't want to do but it made me
  431. successful to the rest of my life that
  432. because I figured it out when I was a
  433. kid I didn't know what was good for me I
  434. still remember I didn't want to do my
  435. homework and my dad and my mom pressured
  436. me to do that
  437. and that success after success
  438. you can't leave a child to lead
  439. themselves there children claim your
  440. place being strong and
  441. be sentencing be intellectual and may
  442. Allah protect our sons and daughters
  443. from all the harm
