my bad we thank him
and we've been witnessed that there is
no God but one God
is
he conveyed this message
to us
in a way that's in this world and in the
Hereafter May Allah's peace
and blessings and saluting his dear and
beloved Prophet sallallah Allah
there's
alhamdulillah
we live at a time to be aware
of what is
surrounding us
and then the way people think because
we are human beings whatever the people
around us are talking about will rub up
on us
and will affect us not immune just
because
like there's no one immune from the of
culture
the waves of societal changes if you're
not something if you don't stand on a
strong Foundation of faith
and understanding Swept Away with this
subhanallah wave of of friends and
things that are happening around us
this is we are
in general Islam stands for social
political Justice
economical Justice and spiritual Justice
right and I I just want to get it out of
the way that we are at the season
with this state your voice and make your
voice heard
you have to stand up for something good
right
beneficial something that with as a
Muslim and you need to participate and
bringing better people in you know
putting them you know forgetting about
the whole thing and thinking the world
will get fixed by gonna happen
so it's part of you as a Muslim of your
duty
you know we are what we call issues
voters we're not partying voters
we hold ourselves
to the values of our faith and based on
this value so I just wanted to say that
because
um subhanallah was 20.
a group of tribes in Arabia
got together tribes they made a pact
a treaty
so what's the pack pressed in Mecca we
will give him back his rights we will
give him back uh his his right and and
and and and his rights so shall we will
stand with the weak against the strong
and
foreign
against the oppressor
very interesting
in Medina
towards the end of his life he said I
was invited to to a treaty if I was
invited to it today
I was invited days of Japanese and I
answered I stood with it if I was
invited to it today I would still answer
and I would still be part of it so
that's why because we're people
that we have values social values
economical values we we vote based on
these values not based on
party lines
or just blindfolds because you know I
know them or they know me and we have
friends therefore I'll vote for you is
like
you you enjoying good and you for that
that's how you heard how do you you do
that you do that with your voice the
prophet saws
with your words if you cannot with your
heart and that's the least
of all
uh Panola the list of email man the
prophet sallallahu said
my dear brothers and sisters still in
this uh that we're talking about the
prophets
because I'll tell you
we will not be able
to the waves around us
and it's all waves of doubts
even doubting that which is factual
factual like literally the facts are
called
lies and the lies are called and the
facts are called fake news
and the fake news is called it's a fact
at the time you have to know that in
general
falsehood survives on life is they want
to say
Allah
in order to end anchor us throws the
anchor down
then now the ship is not gonna go
and move because of the wind
because it's anchored what is
what is our as our faith but we're human
beings
we we we we usually doesn't like the
first role model when you were a child
and a baby
and a toddler for parents
right and they instilled they knew so
many values and so many
you know it's very interesting when you
know
at 13 years old 14 years old standard
what did you do for me anyway because 13
years old they think that they were born
when they were 13 they think in their
head it's part of the maturity
you know the only thing that the parents
did everything
including knowing how to hold a spoon
how to speak a word and when you didn't
know how to use the bathroom they
actually changed your diapers for two
years that's all what they think you
know and all the food that you ate in
your life and all the clothes and all
the rent
you're still alive today and that's
aside from Allah using me
so the thing is
if we don't anchor ourselves with law
Muhammad rasulullah
you see
the hours
the surroundings in general there's a
few things that are very clear number
one
individualism
me uh what's important is it's not my
family are not my neighbors not this me
I and myself individualism
this is this is a Allah spoke of it in
the Quran which is taking your own self
and your own desire as the whole world
has to attend to you you're everyone
should only care about is
you've seen the one who took his own
desire as his own God
his own desire God subhanallah
today
part of this individualism
in our youth and our children do
whatever you like do what whatever may
do whatever makes you feel good
so subhanallah
animals don't do that
like even animals if they adhere to the
laws or to these advices they want to
even survive
so this idea I feel happy do
we don't do whatever makes us feel happy
because what if it makes someone hands
of people
and you are one of these people boom
what if you were one of the people that
in in China
the the number one killer in the history
of mankind that we Genghis Khan 40
million people killed
at that time that was 20 percent of the
world one person 12 of the world
population what if you one of the people
that
he felt so good killing you
do whatever makes you feel good
it's me
Hitler feels so good killing 12 million
people
million of them as they say
different different numbers different
statistics
because they were not healthy enough
they had
a depression uh a sickness they had
he said I want a clear so that when any
two people get married to people to be
healthy
do whatever makes you feel good do
whatever means you destroys the family
family and destroys the society that's
not how we live this is all
individualism means I only care about
myself and that's why I tell you my dear
teach your children from a young age to
care not only about themselves in their
family
not only about themselves teach them
from a young young age
unbelievable new way of life
you don't need to help
and I want you to stop study and make
good grades
any
you know even that like you know when
you go to work you're not going to sit
down and study at work
they'll kick you up oh I'm reading go
and read at home this is the time for
work
studying it you know and some kids
they're not good with studying they're
fidgeting
and and that they can do with their
hands if everyone has to sit down and
just read and read and read and cookie
cutter that we have put all human beings
in
subhanallah it's uh well for the society
the people who we have very successful
people
and either
illegal or legal drugs you're gonna
either have to take legal drugs and then
there's a few that are successful
and then the whole society has to this
is not a good recipe it's all comes from
individualism
individual Islam present against
individualism
in Islam
you survive not even in a family
you know they say people oh the family
is the new nuclear family in Islam is
not nuclear it's molecular
meaning cells live together like all
these cells of the liver
there and help one another the cells of
your liver look different than the cells
of your lungs look different than the
cells of your kidneys
they're they're they work together
subhanallah
and culture now where we came from you
know all of your uncles
you see them all most of their children
and aunts paternal and maternal you know
the entire large family you know your
grandparents if you make a mistake
public mistake you're not yourself to
shame you're gonna put your entire
family to shame and you're gonna have
150 people which will put you back in
line because we don't function as
individuals
individuals individuals
shaytan hunts the lonely world
s
that's what happens when you are an
individual that's why Allah in his
system that's why you come and pray in
the message five times because you don't
want to stay by yourself unlock stay
alone you have to be within Jamaica with
the jamaa someone is I'm gonna say
something beautiful to you someone is
with a word and you need that maybe
you're not gonna like it but you need it
so that's individualism that's number
one
the other main thing is the new
wave is you are a hero if you're
confused certain
if you have values principles Truth
Versus Falsehood right good versus bad
oh
your old style You're Nobody
in order to cool and in order to be a
hero you have to be confused about if
God you have
to be confused if we need a religion or
not
you have to be confused about life
itself and you like what is life doing
to me and why is life is doing this to
be confused about yourself you have to
be confused about your own gender you
have to be confused about
subhanallah
it's fascinating doubt doubt doubt if
you don't if you come out and say I'm
doubtful I'm confused
hero in one you have a PhD in that we're
very good at doubting anything and
everything
if even that which is very clear like
the sun in the middle of a summer day
blue skies and big sun I don't know if
this is a Sun or the Moon
I don't know what's left for us to doubt
I think the next is Earth maybe we live
on Mars and we don't know it
it's just about
why because when you have a person who's
doubtful then what happens
person do whatever you want them to do
you
move them like a chess game right
turn left turn right they'll turn right
move forward
go backward they will go backward
because there's nothing certain in life
you stand on nothing
you stand on a flowing or waves
no solid foundation
that's why my Dearborn sisters I advise
you to all your children
have a conversation over dinner hope
this sometimes they say oh they said if
they're not interested make them
interested
right if
if if if
25 minutes
without their phone and talking to the
ones
to them and then again
then there is a problem
you have a problem
when you have a whole week to talk to
your friends when you sit in a lecture
minutes 15 minutes you can't sit down
without looking at your phone and
without this you to become a loser when
you grow up because with not focusing
you can't achieve anything in life
you gotta have some you have to treat
something that something has to be holy
respectful what does it mean holy
that it is
very if you hold it
the message is Holy
the jummah is Holy something is Holy
pure poor Divine which treat it as such
a happy sitting down talking with your
friends to the right and left and
laughing now you can do that can do that
you don't have to do it when you're
sitting
there's certain things that has to be
respected
there's certain things that has to be
holy nothing is Holy to you then they
have no value in your life
and that's that's what's to come
and sit down I thought Focus 10 15 20
minutes
you know even mashallah right now which
we never dreamed of we were children I
mean beat that
how can you beat that
alhamdulillah
this in us the love and respect of Allah
and his missions
Foundation of certainty
may Allah give us a solid foundation of
certainty may Allah make us people who
care about others like they care about
themselves may Allah take all of this
entered this and and individualism away
from us and make us people that will
better place I mean

winter is the spring of the believer the
days are short he's fast
the nights are so long in the winter you
can literally see fully eight hours and
wake up and play out for two hours
before surgery
winter is that spring of the believer
also in West Falls you make Dua your Dua
is you cannot beat the winter
so brothers and sisters use your winter
wisely
there's a an expression today right like
we're gonna watch four hours binge on
four to six students
and we're gonna just watch our life away
at least that people we used to sit down
for four hours
playing chess and that made us smarter
Allah
but now just you're just watching like
in a state of being zombie
subhanallah this is really very very
you know
something that you need to bring to your
family something that you need to be in
control uh your children are are
interested to you once you troll of them
this has been between them and Allah and
it's not your responsibility but when
they you have to give them physical
activities mental activities they can
watch 24 7 when they have nothing to do
they're either looking looking at their
phone or they're looking at the TVs to
life than that
young people don't know what's good for
them
it's very well known when I was young I
did not know what was it for me may
Allah reward my parents making me do
what I didn't want to do but it made me
successful to the rest of my life that
because I figured it out when I was a
kid I didn't know what was good for me I
still remember I didn't want to do my
homework and my dad and my mom pressured
me to do that
and that success after success
you can't leave a child to lead
themselves there children claim your
place being strong and
be sentencing be intellectual and may
Allah protect our sons and daughters
from all the harm
Allah is
