Building a Strong Muslim Community | Khalid Yasin

a la I'd belong in al hamdulillah Hamden Kathryn forgiven Mubarak and V alhamdulillah Rockefeller salat wa salam ala sayyidil mustafa sallallahu alehiwassallaam Malayali he was happy he was ready human wala Robert pronóstico hadith level or higher on sallallahu alayhi wa sallam washable more decide to have a cooler more desert in Nevada vicuna baton Delilah Vakula de la Latin fin now a usual exported Quran I were to say that the salam wa alaykum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu dear brothers and sisters respected guests it is a tremendous honor to be back here in Melbourne again we only wish that we could come here more often and by the grace of allah subhanho wa taala perhaps we will be able to do that because we've made an arrangement alhamdulillah that now I'm working for the Australian Islamic College in Sydney and I think I'll probably be there for maybe a year or two which mean we're almost like cousins so at the request of the organizers and other Muslims in this city perhaps every couple of months or so we can come and we can do some work and not just lectures but that we can do some work that is part of the building process of community work in Charlotte arada regarding our subject tonight I want to say to you that first I always try to make these disclosures because it is only fair and ethical to do so I am a student of a student of a student so the people who are scholars and students of knowledge of the scholars in this city in other places they would probably see the deficiency of what I have to offer but I asked him to forgive me for that inshallah and you know sort of also blamed the brothers who invited me to come here but what I will try to do I'll do what the bush doctor does that is until he the people can get to the clinics and to the hospitals and the places where they can get professional care the bush doctor he puts together little potent sand things that he could help the people relieve the people until they can get to the place where they can get the proper care so that's what I will do relative to this kind of subject here because we already have we have the Quran and we have the Sunnah and we have the fifth and we have the tough seal and we have the Sira and we have all the different Islamic disciplines and the scholars have already written on this the students have already spoke about this it's been acted upon so there's nothing new that I'm going to say however sometimes at a particular time under special circumstances there is something that can be said while the iron is hot you can strike it and then it makes a difference what I'll try to do tonight is I'll try to sort of strike down while it's hot say a few things that from my background a guy from Brooklyn you know a new Muslim evolving into Islam are striving to be accepted by allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala maybe there's something that i might be able to say that gives a little new twist in sight a little something that you might want to think about and take into consideration that's the best that I'm going to be able to offer here so I asked for your patience trust we know that Allah subhana WA Ta'ala mentioned to us in the Quran about the issue of unity the issue of community the issue of solidarity allah subhanaw taala already ordered us in this in the Quran he told us how to belay him in the Shaitaan regime what ASIMO bihabli allahi jami an wa too far aku so the word Watusi mu bind yourselves join yourselves we have Lilla the Rope of Allah the Quran and the Sunna jamia jamia here means as a group with a discipline with a leader in the manner which Allah and Allah has ordered you and by the example that you have seen in the prophets of Allah loves them and in the example of the companions in the tavern in the advert a vein this is the jamia a las once given to us that is our paradigm voila and do not too far Rikuo do not be divided don't be divided by ideas don't be divided by personal things don't be divided by nationalities don't be divided by classes don't be divided by ethnicity don't be divided by culture don't be divided by anything but be upon the Quran and the Sunnah then Allah subhana WA Ta'ala also mentioned to us in surah saff he said in Allah you have bullet in your cart you know feasibility he suffer kondeh humba jnana malsu's surely Allah subhana WA Ta'ala he loves those who fight who struggle who sacrifice in his way feasibility he and the Sabeel of allah subhana wa ta'ala is the career of allah subhanaw taala the Sabeel of allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala is the men hedge of the prophets of Allah Islam the severe of Allah subhana WA Ta'ala is again the Quran and the Sunna suffer rose discipline as you are sitting they set this hall up like this year to get the maximum amount of people in this room all so that they would be organized they would not be falling over each other they organized it they designed it that way allah subhanaw taala he organized he designed this deen in the same way Safa can no home as if they were boonie on own building components all put together masseuse masseuse comes in word loss it means something which itself has been built upon it poured something may be iron may be steel maybe it's concrete in the middle iron and steel poured over it so that you tried to break it it will not break apart masseuse allah subhanaw taala he is describing what he wants for the Muslim Ummah unfortunately because of the times because of our mentality because of our disease because of our condition we have been broken we have been scattered we have been shattered we have been splattered all over the world because we broke our unity and we do not have a physical community neither do we have a global community nor do we have a regional community nor do we have a national community nor do we have a municipal community and in most houses there is not even a family community unfortunately why because there are some ingredients if you don't have it it can never come you can have a Ferrari given to you brand-new but if it has no steering wheel and no brake pedals you're in for crash you're in for a nightmare so Allah gave this to us but unfortunately no wheel no steering wheel no mm no I'm here no no no no II model no government so with no government no Khalifa no discipline no regulation what can we do absolutely nothing the Muslims are always talking about 1.6 billion Muslims 1.5 billion Muslims bla bla so what can you do with one six billion wet matches what can you do 1.6 gallons of of stagnant water what do you do with 1.6 billion pounds or tons of rotten food nothing you have to recycle it to get something out of it today the Muslims will have to be recycled if you don't think so you're just foolish you're just naive you're what you're part of those people are just keep reading books and you're in la-la land we Muslims have to have a head put on our body we just don't think that something is wrong because we see the anatomy we see ourselves but the anatomy of the global nation has no head since 1924 no head on the body and no Muslims with power or with knowledge have exerted themselves to put that head back on the body we have resigned ourselves to be a Muslim body all over the world that everyone is looking at with no head on the body everybody got a hit on them everybody got a president everybody got a chairman everybody has a government even the perverts got a government everybody has a head a chairman a power base a government a constitution someone that leads them someone that commands them someone that represents them except the Muslims yet we are the ones in our book of laws upon and Allah ordered us this this is another subject and I don't want those who are maybe some of you think maybe maybe they'd rather been touched by the his battalion or something no I'll tell you this may Allah bless those brothers for whatever faults they have maybe he forgive them may Allah bless them for their aspirations for their warnings for their encouragement about this issue because if they the only ones that's talking about it they may be the only ones on the day of judgment that law is going to reward and maybe he will pardon him for it forgive them for their faults of their shortcomings join them and what they say which is right and avoid what they say which is wrong The Messenger of Allah saw a lot of him he said the hand of Allah supernal dollars over the Gemara this means the help of Allah subhana dollars over the Jamaat the guidance of Allah splinters of the Jamaat the blessings of the lost $1 over the Jamaat the preservation Allah will give to the Gemara Allah subhana WA Ta'ala blesses the Gemara because the Jamaa is the main hedge of the prophets of allah wa sallam even if the Muslim became powerful even it became knowledgeable whatever sophistication Allah gives them when they have no JAMA and they have no Amir and there is no Amara there will be no blessing because it is a different kind of man hedge you're following a man hedge of somebody else is that the man heads of Islam The Messenger of Allah solarz em said whomsoever separates from the Jamaat one hand span one hand span separates themselves in hat and hell now this doesn't mean that whoever separate themselves from a group of Muslims at a mosque Masjid he joined that Masjid and then he separate from those guys here to be foot there my problem with them he separated were you going to hell lucky that's not what it means whoever separates themselves from the al-qaeda of the Gemara of the put and and the Sunnah separates themselves in hell why because they have separated themselves into a different group the group of the Abdullah the group of the bida the group your Assembly of the cooker the group of the facade the group of the faster King the group on assembly of the moon have 15 because they have to be of another group of their not of the group of the Jamaat and of the Quran and the Sunna one of our great Muslims one of the Companions of the Prophet sallallahu wasallam his leg was America table rhodiola Wan Melisandre tell be pleased with him he said in an answer there is no Islam without Jumeirah listen to it carefully there is no Islam without Gemara no Islam without the presence of a disciplined community the presence of a disciplined community and no Gemara unless there is and I'm here and there is no disciplined community unless there is in a mere that is someone commanding them and someone whom the people have put their hands in his hands and they say we will follow you will be loyal to you and we will hear and we will obey and what we like and what we dislike in the way of allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala and he said and there is no amia if he does not have i'm i'm power command that is you and i we put our physical we put our mental we put our spiritual hands in his hands and therefore when he lifts his hands and brings it down he brings it down with the hands of 50,000 100,000 200,000 people whichever it is in this city or in the other city if there isn't a mirror in the city of melbourne who has the reasonable loyalty of the muslims in this city including their leaders their scholars their students of knowledge their intellectual people and their business people when he lifts his hand brings it down when he puts his hand as a contract in anybody else's hands when he says no when he says stop when he says go when he command sit stand move he does so with the hand and the voice of every person in this city can you imagine what kind of power that is it is power so I'm gonna table gave us a very practical understanding of Jamal the dynamic of jamya know Islam he didn't mean no Salah hitting this nose a cow he didn't mean there's no high he didn't mean the people don't believe in allah subhanaw taala he meant that there will be no editor there will be no visible tangible structure of Islam no one will see it no one will respect it no one will respond to it no one will believe it unless there is Jumeirah and the Jamaa itself will be undisciplined it will be like a man who gets married and he says I'd like to have ten children but he's sterile he can wish but if he's sterile the only thing he could do is adopt some babies the Jamaat must have an Emir and the prophets of l'olam Jim said some a lot of some said if there are three of you on a journey what should you do choose one as the emir one does the emir this is just a journey so we have a group of brothers they do this all the time all of you know the brothers if they'll have to make sure for anything to go to the store go to this place go to that place they select three brothers they go they have should they have muara to sit down to choosing a meal this is a good swimmer but it's a ritual Sunnah that son nurse should be practice in our political our social our Economic Affairs all the way across the board every Muslim in this room right here and in the other rooms that's here should themselves know what a meal they have you should know if you don't know something's wrong everybody know who your father is everybody know who their mother is ever I know where they work if I know where they live about know their pin number why you don't know who's your emir you have to know who is your emir to you for you to know it you have to select you have to nominate this is a part of the islamic man hatch and we have to follow what America Bob said because the process often said are alaikum bassoon Lottie was saluted oleifera she didn't Master Yi upon you is the following of my Sunnah and also the sudden of home the coup de foie gras she didn't bandy in who is one of those the long yellow line the literal meaning of community means group from the language it means a group of people or for that matter allah subhanho wa taala uses the terminology even when it comes to birds when it comes to ants want to come to animals our last ones I'll use the same terminology because they have been grouped with similar characteristics with similar destiny so human beings who are grouped together whether geographically social sociologically historically ethnically if they are grouped together with a similar destiny that is called the Jamal literally in the language however through the Quran in the sooner the word Jamaa it took a broader and a deeper meaning to include a group of people who have a symbol of faith a similar tradition a similar inspiration and also a similar legislation we say voila who'll hawk more volatile Amla concerning Allah subhana WA Ta'ala and those who is who is observing this armor and that that cam is the Jumeirah of the muslims therefore allah subhanaw taala in the quran he used different words to express the Jamaat he used the word on man he said in one place of the bill a militant regime kuntum Kyra on Martin a frigate then ask Jack maroon up in my roof but then have another moon card what took me to Villa he allah subhanaw taala says you muslims are the best of human beings evolved for the whole humanity why because you enjoin what is right you forbid what is wrong and you believe in a lost panel with Allah now here enjoying the right doesn't mean encouraging people to do what's right i'ma build my roof means having the power to enjoin two people to do what is right having the power I'll give you an idea of not here among Cup coming from the airport I saw I think we went to a toll booth it's dead one toll booth you can't just run through the toll booth you have to stop you got to pay the money why because this pay for the highway I think that the highway is paid for you go still keep paying because it's part of the system as part of the enjoying of the system so they set up a mechanical thing that you react you automatically and you pay this is because they have power when the Muslims have power the Muslims is also able to do the same thing in their areas in their communities they can stop the drugs they can stop the alcohol drinking they can stop the people from gambling they can stop the fornication they can stop the adultery they can stop the gangsterism they can stop because they have power and when we are unable to stop it that means we have no power and when our children and other people in our community see that we have no power they roll over our faces they do whatever they do right in our face and even Muslims themselves who themselves do not feel lost upon Allah to Allah when they realize that the Muslims have no power they also don't fear us and they sell alcohol and they sell drugs and they did they sell girlie magazines and they sell they sell Hummer and they sell conceal and they do everything and they come right to the mosque while their stores are still open and they have no fear and no respect and some of them they on the Majlis some of them is on the Board of Trustees nobody can say nothing to them at all they have no fear because in the time of the Companions of the Prophet SAW loss and when a man didn't feel a lot they would fear honor for yellow one they would feel harlot they would feel people like obey the law even Ajara they would fear men whom allah subhanho wa taala gave in their power they would fear them if they didn't feel loss upon o Allah and this is part of the Honorable my roof to enjoin the right means enjoined people encourage the last one dilaudid and in case the people don't have no fear velocity no dollar then they will fear the presence of those whom Allah has inspired Nidal moon card means forbidding what is wrong stopping what is wrong prosecuting the people that do wrong making them pay for what they do which is wrong in this life and that people can see people without hands people can see in the public here is rolling down the street people can see in the public yes some people got the head hands the hands and feet from opposite sides chopped off and they see him crucified they see people get punished they see people get put up against a pole and see them get lashed in the public they see people get punished for slandering backbiting they see it and because they see that that actions are deterrent for them because they think about that is all I don't want that to happen to me I don't think that the people in Saudi Arabia I don't think they feel Allah any more than you and I but on more than one occasion I myself left my wallet or I left my bag someplace in the public in Saudi Arabia alhamdulillah by the grace of allah subhana wa ta'ala I came back to that spot and my wallet is right there unbelievable but it is not so unbelievable when you think about it because when I was in Riyadh one time and I went to the Central Mosque on the day they had the head you see then I could believe it because if you are seven years old or nine years old or 13 years old whatever and you see the execution take place for the man who stole something that is he picked up a wallet in the street that didn't belong to him and then somebody said hadami he was caught with that water in his hands as the evidence finished through it only took three days for them to counsel him prosecute him and after that set up on the Gemara the execution or the cutting of the hands quick fast justice if you saw that for yourselves I think if you had seen my wallet sitting there you will probably just backed up soprano love how it lost the panel whatever how he gives us young some of these different signs but we are living in society where everybody's thinking about their own profit and if nobody can see nothing mashallah it's mine so the the enjoining the right and the forbidding of the road it is not abstract it's not just we say oh brother you shouldn't do that we walked into a brother store you'll send me brother he got halal meat all in the back he's telling me about the don't eat these chips brother don't eat them crisp cuz they got red X Z on it or whatever the case might be he got hammered across the whole wall he got a pin zero right in front of him he got a whole rack of girlie magazine for why he's over there and he got that lotto machine going he got an extra people working over there with a lot of machine and he telling me that he got halal meat and don't eat those crisps and the same Muslim will be in the first or second rank of the Masjid in Ramadan praying behind the Imam praying the taraweeh prayer and he will be crying the most the same man will be going to Hajj and on Arafat he will be sane Yara be Arab warm Ottumwa Haram warmest rubber whoo Haram well Melba Sahu Haram well who do you build on how can this it had to be accepted and how can his prayers be accepted but this is our condition we can do nothing to him because if we come in his shop and talk to him he say mind your business get out of my store I called the police because we have no power therefore brothers and sisters Allah subhana Allah mentioned about the Omar about the Middler about the Jamaat and it took a formal and classical meaning the formal and classical meaning that Jeremiah took from the Quran the community of the believers the community of the Quran and the Sunna and because of the comprehensive application of the Quran and Sunnah the term l-jamaa became a universal terminology for the entire Muslim world that is before the Quran the word Gemara did not have a universal meaning after the Koran after the sooner after law perfected this religion after lost one daughter gave us the paradigm of the prophecy awesome and he gave us the paradigm of the of the Islamic community the Islamic government in Medina that moved out then the world understood what is German so the Prophet Sawa's him told us if we want to know what a Jamaa looked to the three generations could the German he sent utterly Familia Luna who Familia Luna look to my generation look to the generation of the Taba a look to the generation of the advert MA and after that some other people came and they did some things a lot of told him not to do and they refused to do some things which Allah told them to do so the jamak took upon a different meaning it became a universal terminology for the whole Muslim world to see and for the whole non-muslim world to see from that perspective the community already exists which means we don't have to establish community in that sense the community of the Quran the community of the sooner the community alarmed Allah already set that community in motion and that community will exist all the way until yomel P AMA from a theoretical point of view however the Islamic community does not exist within a theoretical vacuum we cannot say there is Jamar because we go to Jamaa we cannot say there is Jamar because we go on out to do tablet work we cannot say there is Jeremiah just because a group of brothers got together to do something good that is not the Jamaat that Allah is speaking about the Jamaat that allah subhanaw taala is speaking about is the Jamaa which itself covers all the comprehensive needs and has all the institutions that serve the interests and sets of the platform of islam for the Muslims throughout the world that is the Jumeirah we are a community with social political economic and cultural dynamics Islam is a self-contained global system I repeat that Islam as a self-contained global system self-contained it means that it has everything in it that it needs to have in it in order for it to function that self-contained no other no other religion no other faith in the world has inside of it the capabilities of ruling the world only Islam and Islam is proven that second thing no other system has the resilience that once it falls to the bottom it can come back again nor the faith can do that but Islam has done it over and over and over and it will do that again be it in let it slam as a global system it is not a system of the Arabs it's not a system of the non Arabs it's not a system for some area some region it's not a system for some particular time it's a system for all time all conditions all space all together everywhere for anyone and everyone under all types of circumstances and conditions the question is what do we need to what do we need to do in order to build and sustain the Islamic community because that is our subject here what do we need to do to build and sustain the Islamic community as an institution and as a visible system there are two phases that we can identify to do this two phases one is called the building phase and the other stage is sort of an organizational and executive stage so let us go through some of the points that are necessary for the building stage and brothers and sisters listen I'm drawing upon that which have been given this is didn't come out of my mind one of our famous scholars his name was was even khaldoun may allah subhanaw taala he bless him he wrote a book book he wrote a book called key table a bar and the first book in the key table a bar which is about five books is called an edema this alma-tadema is a very powerful book I suggest that anyone interested in history the sociology of Islam understanding human beings understanding the behavior of human beings understand the Islamic systems and systems of the world and geography and sociology and those subjects first read have been Hal dune read II read the patema and you will be able to understand some things I'm drawing from some issues which he laid out there and I'm drawing on some other things number one in order for us to have an institution and a visible system that will allow us to call it an Islamic community not simply a Muslim community but Islamic they're two different things a Muslim community is a group of Muslims if they are weak if they are deviant if they are straight if they are fasiq if they are whatever caliber that they are still they're Muslims but that is not Islamic and that's why we can't call the Muslim countries Islamic countries I don't say that there's not an Islamic essence there the flame is always there the worst leader of the Muslims still inside of him there is something about Islam and Allah subhana Dada he has used the worst of the Muslims and the best of the Muslims to achieve his cause we have seen that in the history so we cannot say that Islam is not it is there wherever the Muslims are there is so this lamb there but we get to bring the Islam out Islam today is locked up in the prison of culture and if we don't let it out nobody will see Islam they only see the Muslim culture you and I we have to let Islam out of the bottle of our culture take a slam out of the baggage of our culture take Islam out of the prison of culture Islam is asking us let me out let the people see me and we won't let it out because we want to address Islam and we want Islam to be my lamb her lamb Islam day lamb Aslam we lamb day lamb we want to slam to be everything under there with a loss of honking I call it Islam we want to drape it color it decorate it contain it deliver it in our culture with our name our is ethnicity our color our dress in our way no the Prophet also made it very clear he said man as death Fe ambreena hava male salmon for horrid whosoever introduces into this affair of ours meaning the Quran and the Sunna and Islam madly cement that which is not from it for Holland it will be rejected on the day of judgment it will be rejected among the knowledgable people it will be rejected and this time it will be rejected in the next time therefore we Muslims our culture is okay anything in our culture that does not disagree with Islam it is okay it slam didn't came to run to rub out the culture a last one God gave us our names give us our culture give us our food give us our colors give us our different forms and che saying all of this Allah gave that to us but he gave that to us he said Letarte a fool in order that we can just distinguish each other in a chronicle in the LA at Arkham those who have taqwa those who believe in allah subhanaw taala those who are attached to the Quran and Sunnah those who put that first Allah and Allah said in the Malik my noona f1 the nature of the relationship between the believers is Brotherhood so in order for us to establish an Islamic community we have to reverse the situation we have to put the culture inside the prison of Islam we had to put the culture inside the baggage of Islam we had to put the culture inside the bottle of Islam we have to contain our culture our desires our feelings our ideas inside Islam not to do that we have to start a process number one there needs to be a group of Muslims who desire and agree they must desire and they must agree to initiate the process so there must be a group of Muslims who say we have to have jamar we have to stop this foolishness we have to stop this division we have to stop this backbiting we have to stop all of the sea of things that we do we have to stop this this Adam stuff this African stuff this Asian stuff this Turkish stuff this European stuff this America we gotta stop this they don't need to be no message with no nationalistic ethnic Earth mystic names ethnocentric names they know Pakistani Masjid I know Turkish Masjid I know Somali Masjid and no sorrow D Masjid I know if flicky Masjid and on indo-pakistan Masjid know in the masajid illa llah the messages belong to allah subhanaw taala how dare you to put your name on the house of allah subhana wa ta'ala because if it were allowed allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala he would have allowed Ibrahim Islands to them to put his name on that house then we would've been all making Masjid we'll all be making Salah at the holiday Masjid with Megan Hodge at the holiday message in the Ibrahimi Masjid Masjid al-haram would have been called the Ibrahimi Masjid the Holi must be because he is Holi the law because he is Ibrahim the friend of allah subhanaw taala but that is not the case it is bata law it is Masjid of harem that is this identity it is its characteristic so why do people immigrate to a country and because they want to date they want to put a flag up but the country allow you put your flag up so what you do you put up your little sign or you put your little thing in the telephone book what you really say it is you're saying that this is a Turkish message it and therefore things go our way or the highway that's what you're saying you're saying that the overheads the seniors the people who set this up the people who put their money out the people who's in the front the Imam and the mosque so the the meth habit that we follow it is going to be that Turkish way you've got you didn't say that exactly but that's what you mean and if there's a Turkish Masjid here or Somali mustard here or our stood a lean Masjid or an out of material where a kind of Masjid that's the deal that is your meth have that is really what you're saying and if it's been here for 50 years that's what it's been for 50 years and if it's here another 50 years that's what it's going to be for another 50 years until we change it and it will be changed insha'Allah 50 years ago 50 years ago so kind of long after at the Masjid al-haram can you imagine this one day a van was called 40 miles came out and instead and won t mom went to the Hanafy station the ugly man went to the Chevy station the other man went to the madaky station and the other man he went to the the the Chevy station of the humbly station and then all the people of their followers came behind them and they made salaat separately in the huddle Japan a lot and this was this took place for maybe some 80 years overall Emma all the aha the Kings and the princes and whoever they call themselves at that time they allowed it they couldn't do anything about it because whoever was the Ameer the Sultan or whatever he might have called himself will have it had power that's what he wanted that's what he allowed and the people they loved it everybody loved it come when his arm was called I go behind my mom that's it it's me we correctly we got our thing together we over here we had a feast we got out there together the manikins be over you like this here the other ones they like this house one day like this you know we could all do our thing whatever we want to do how many lies makes a lot we go and we go eat there but no McDonald's outside of Hatem dinner so everybody go eat a courier or get a shish kebab and everybody could do what they want to do and everything was okay then I went to Panama Tyler he sent a man of power a man of principle and a man of knowledge and wiped it out hamdullah today we all go to Mecca how many Imams lead the salat masha'Allah we don't say we don't say how righteously the Saudi government is we don't know a lot of atoms we don't say that is because of their righteousness but alhamdulillah as long as they have been there the man who came out with the power the man that came out with the knowledge the man that came out with the principle he helped also to establish that government and that government has made sure they know forty miles Hammond dude in that we can see therefore what power and principle can do without power and without principle you can have all the knowledge you want people can do what they want but one day is power you can see because today have them do the lack you can do whatever you want to do outside but when you enter Saudi Arabia everybody knows how everything goes everybody knows that you can talk about them all you want but whatever way they say it goes and go that way or you get up out of there that's power at least I say we Muslims should have that kind of power all over the world because that is not the only country right now the only Muslim country right right now well notice is it it isn't it is own it is the only country that has the correct al Qaeda that is instituting the head they're the only ones that have to have the that have the power and who have the audacity and you have the principle to continue punishing the people as a last minute I'll say punish them now maybe they don't punish the princess and the kings and other them I don't know that's another issue but the people that steal and get caught the people that drink and get caught people that slander and get caught the people that do for wash and they get caught the people that robbed a bank or steal from somebody and they get caught there is swift justice and everybody knows that alhamdulillah for that at least there is a semblance of that in the world today so first the Muslims need to have a group of Muslims who desire and agree to initiate the process number two they choose they nominate or otherwise appoint one of them as the Amiel now what is the amel the emir is the person it means he has he's a commander now I don't understand if the brother is some group of brothers come together here in Melbourne and they choose somebody ain't really the commander of Melbourne that's not what it means it means that they have accepted to appoint him with a responsibility of limited command he is the commander of them he is their Prince he is their representative he is their coordinator he is their Imam their president their leader call them what you want but when you put your hands in his hands and you say brother you need to represent us you need to be the Emir what that basically means is you have abdicated or you have given up a portion of your power and given it to that particular brother just the way Islam works and what it also means is that we like other people we are not democratic so whoever talks about Islam is democratic they don't understand democratic means like we all sit here together and we talk about something that we say we vote so the majority what them in democracy democracy win is that correct so what could happen in a democracy is somebody could fix the vote somebody could set the whole situation up we're in a democracy the majority of the people could vote what is wrong and they can even vote the AMIA out he gone so whoever wants to follow democracy democracy against very principles of Islam in Islam there is no democracy not in that sense there is freedom there is liberation this individual rights there's the ownership of property there is justice all of that there is consultation but that is not what Islam says is democracy what Islam says is that there is a mirror and the people should have sure our consultation and if there is a disagreement among the people after they talking the immediate take the advice for instance if this brother here they are mere or that brother over there is the emir or whoever is the emir and all of us we talking he consult who we need to consult and after he finished consulting say thank all of you very much this is my decision after the AMIA makes the decision nobody else could stand up and say oh we need to take a vote on that now we can do that here in Melbourne because the Emir doesn't have any power but when the Emir has power no one will stand up and say after he has made a judgement we need to vote on that I'll give you a good instance we have this problem of when we go home we go and start the fast and when we go in the fast do you all have that problem here you know the difference you got two different men have different groups somebody said they want to go up on the mountain and see somebody and say we don't begin the valley so you say no we gonna compute it some people say no we don't go to the nautical people and they go and look out at the sea some other people said no we don't over they set it up some people say we already printed the calendar that's that I'm everybody got all kind of different things so you wind up with five different dates for the beginning of Ramadan how could that be right and then when Ramadan ends the same thing half the people is eaten on the e so my son fought in the e I'm father I'm following the moon Indonesia so I said no I'm fighting moon and Mecca so I said I'm father moon I saw in the backyard and so people said I don't care about the moon I'm just counting 30 days I said well let's look at the other side let's look at the other side masha'Allah and Saudi Arabia does a Mufti mashallah our neighbor next to here in Malaysia is a mufti in fact there is 12 Muftis in Malaysia but there is a central mufti when the mufti tells the president when the mufti in Saudi Arabia tells the king the moon has been sighted the King makes a very effective our has been given a verdict is made by the king the execution of it the announcement is fast and begins do you think that some people in some different cities or valleys or mountains of Saudi Arabia call up and say oh listen King this is a Mufti we see in the moon yet so we in fasted it's not going to happen it's not going to happen and I have known it to be the case where the mufti said that the fasting began on a certain day that the moon had been seen based upon the Delisle that they had captured 10 days later they did some investigation and they found out that the person who gave them that information there was some error so then the mufti told the king the king had everybody to write everything said add another day because we started wrong mashallah consistent with what the Prophet SAW slim said but there was unity in the starting of it and there was unity at the end we have to have that but if there's no power no unity so they must choose and nominate otherwise appoint one of them the Emir the coordinated the chairman Imam president leader column what you like according to the Islamic men hatch this group then becomes the founding body they become the founding body or the core group that guarantees the Islamic constitutionality and what the climate constitutionality it is shorter that group guarantees at least from a reasonable point of view that there will be sure there will be consultation there will be leadership according to the main hatch of the Prophet sallallahu wasallam it is called sharing it is called the shadowy method meaning that it is sure according to the quran and the sunnah of the prophet sallahu wa sallam therefore the projects of that group the program's of that group the activities of that group and the ambitions of that group will be according to quran and sunnah at least reasonably so why because they have come together for that purpose this group with the leader and this fundamental structure they begin to invite attract and promote this good endeavor they begin to promote it call people to it as the proper source and said whoever calls the people to that which is good will receive the good that comes from it and the one and equal to the one who does it all the way through the day of judgment and the one who calls walls evil will get the recompense just like the one who does it all the way until the day of judgment and there will be no diminishing of it so they call the people to this good they promote this good they attract people to this good so this group begins to build the area where they reside it begins to be populated they start to occupy that area they start to buy the houses they start to buy the land they start to open up stores they start to set up their institutions their businesses whatever their activity their name their influence is known in that area and again not because of any ethnicity so they know Arab town in or African town in or engine town if anything they might call it Muslim town once they secure assistance and support from the other Muslims they begin to establish committees to organize various services and to develop different resources now one of the unique aspects of the Islamic community is that it is not founded or inspired by ethnic nationalistic political special interests or personal ambitions as is very important brother insisted because we have seen in the world today there are many Muslims whose countries have been unlawfully illegally criminally occupied at least there's 14 Muslim countries today that have been occupied there may be another 10 or 15 that is occupied by Muslims through the non-muslims that means non-muslims are still manipulating Muslim countries through Muslim puppets another 14 or 15 countries have been directly occupied people have been dispersed and some of those people right here some of you sitting right here are the products of that dispersion and that is because the criminal activities of the unbelievers that allah subhanaw taala he promised this would continual honest but also what has happened is that in those countries there are resistance groups every country where the muslims have been dispersed a resistance group comes up unfortunately because of lack of guidance unfortunately because of lack of knowledge unfortunately because of lack of leadership that resistance group usually winds up what having been built upon liberating the country and the prop Slauson already said then whoever raises their voice for nationalism for tribalism or any other kind of ism this is this is a call of janilla so therefore how can the liberation group for Palestine the liberation group for Kashmir the liberation group for any place how can a group be successful if the call that they are calling is not la ilaha illaallah muhammaden-rasul allah so allah say nothing other than that because they don't have to liberate Palestine and they don't have to liberate Lebanon and they don't have deliberate Kashmir they don't have deliberate Afghanistan then we have to liberate that why because the grandfather of the prophets in wada wa salam who wasn't even a Muslim he understood that when something belongs to allah subhana wa ta'ala we don't have to liberate it because when Abraha came to mecca to destroy the kaaba what did the grandfather of the prophet saw him do did he gather some people together to liberate or to defend it no he told abroad listen this house it belongs to a loss upon allah this house has a lord this house has a owner so this house the owner of that house will defend it but for me I have some goats and some sheep that belong to me and I'm gonna take them up in the mountains and all we have to do then and we go to the story of Allah and Allah says alum Tariq alpha filer Ibuka the US Hubbell feel Adam Yauch Allah home-along Allah Masha Allah who cater home cheated lil Allah gives us the story what was the what was the effect of those people but we don't believe it if the Muslims in Palestine and may Allah bless all those who give all those the rewards for what they have done and what they will do and we are not the judge of them but if the Muslims of Palestine if the amount of Muslims in Palestine who prayed the Jamaat prayer at AXA admist Adel AXA if the amount of people that pray salat of Jamar at Masjid al-aqsa if they were also praying the federal and the in share prayer at vessel AXA the matter would have been finished and this goes true for all the Muslims because our call has got to be la ilaha illaallah muhammaden-rasul allah a lot of sin i will call and our liberation has got to be only for Allah serpent Allah only for the Deen of Allah only to raise the name of Allah to establish the Quran to establish the Sunnah and for this deed and only for this deed otherwise Allah will continue to humiliate us and frustrate us and disgrace us at the hands and feet of our enemies the Islamic community is the one that is established and sustained to promote cultivate and entrench the message and the tradition of the Quran and the Sunnah wherever Muslims reside we already have the power there's enough Muslims in this room I didn't say in the whole male born as it is enough Muslims in this room that if they stood for the Quran and for the Sun de Sao Paulo in a matter of two or three years the whole condition would change the Muslims in this room demand us in this room if these men in this room if all of you committed yourselves to pray the federal in Gemara and pray the issue pray in Gemara and if you put your hands in the hands of some emir you'll find in a couple of years your condition would change but maybe you don't want to make that commitment maybe you think you could inside track you got you know enough out of e yeah you know enough to fear you you know enough Okita you were to the University of this and that yeah what is God talking to you what do you know about you think you know you think that you're enough Muslim you think you ain't got to do that you think there's something different today that it is yesterday you don't think you have to make the federal prayer you think you can make it long as you praying five times a day anywhere and everywhere you think you can make it like that The Messenger of Allah solution said different he said you will know the Mona fiyaquun' from my Ummah because they have a problem and making the feder and the issue prayers in German that puts the verdict on a lot of us sitting here see a lot of Muslims they won't talk about jihad they won't talk about feet laughs oh they won't talk about the Islamic state they won't talk Figg then won't talk i keyed out don't tell my atom then want to talk about the hawk then want to talk talk talk talk talk then want to point point point point point they want to blame blame blame they want to criticize they want to say those people is more those people is could to be those people over there there's a move to D I don't even know there's cottagey don't fear of it is Sufi knows Estela feet those is what happy talk talk talk talk talk I say if we want to talk meet me at the fagio everyone a plan let's plan after the fajr prayer let's plan after after the issue prayer let's meet let's talk before and after roger and issue behind the email and then let's discuss what our relative Aamir's from wherever we came from what area what my Amir said to me let's try to get our Amir's together let's work like that all the different groups that's represented here let's get our Imams together let's get the Emir's that we set up our Chairman's our leaders let's get them together and ask them what's the deal what's happening what's the problem why you guys can't get together why you guys can't get together and choose whoever knows the most part and whoever knows the most of the Sunnah whichever viewers the oldest among you I can't you guys get together and do that what's the problem if we don't ask them to do that they won't do it for another 50 years o Muslims inevitably the first challenge and responsibility of this community is to establish the worship and to establish the place where the worship al ebody is taught performed and preserved the first thing the prophets allows them did when he entered Medina when he entered Medina the first thing he did the first task the first challenge that the Prophet saws them settled was the issue of the establishment of the mosque not getting his own self a house not getting a little hall where they can have they low played a low Domino in their cars and smoke their low air girl or hubbly bubbly or whatever that wasn't what he did the first thing he did was the establishment of the mosque and from what I understand from the serie there were two young boys that had some land which they owned and they offered it to the prophecy also them free they said o Messenger of Allah saw some take this land from us he said no I will only take it if I pay for it so the messenger of allah saw some he paid for it and with his own hands and with the hell those people they built the message and the message of Allah saw Sam he accepted from the believers a room off of that message it for himself and for his family this is the first mosque the first Town Hall the first Majlis the first place of congregation the first senate of the muslims the first government of the muslims not just a mosque the first University of the Muslims so the first thing we need to do is once we break down all these different divisions and all that there we need to come together and build a great big mosque in Melbourne a mosque at least the size of this building right here I mean top and bottom two to three floors the same amount of space that the brothers have seen - place your sister's got to have a big mosque if there are 80,000 Muslims in Melbourne I don't know what the number is you got to build a message that holds at least 20,000 that become the central mosque that's the Japanese mosque so during the week everybody prayed the little local mosque but you get together and all the Imams and all the leaders and all the guys to get the names and all that there you get them to agree that Angemon shut those lomas down and go to the jami mosque then you see the power of the Muslims you see the respect to the non-muslims then that mosque is the place where we will be able to put the Islamic University will put the Islamic College will put the Islamic Senate who put the Islamic townhall then we don't have the rent that's kind of hard no more see you can have this kind of gathering like this here every week because it'll be your place why can't we do that you got enough money in this room right here right here to do that in this room we just have to lock all the doors and put some great big guys there don't let nobody out as matter of fact listen before we leave here tonight we're gonna talk about that the community is the town hall the Senate the Masjid dimension it's the congregation place around and behind the leadership this is the place of their worship their education their planning there to conduct and administrate the affairs it's the place where they conspire yeah I say they conspire we got right to conspire by conspiring against us we got a right to conspire but Allah subhana Allah only allows us to conspire for the good he says what to our new a little bit early what that wha well at IVA Lou alan odom isn't what would one he said and conspire together join together cooperate together promote together for what better and taqwa but don't join together cooperate together conspire together for ism sin what would one and corruption from this Masjid Majlis they develop and cultivate their faith they assess their resources they plan their future and they fortify their source of guidance this concept is one of the cultural dynamics of the Islamic community to sustain this effort there is another set of principles necessary because that is only the building process the next process is called the executive principles one they must be committed to the discipline of hearing and obeying some avatar in the collection of mmm never we the a hadith collection to utter buying a hadith of Imam no e rasool allah he mentions a hadith there that is a long hadith he mentions the hadith upon use the application of following my my son and soon of whole philosophy in Iguala of in the wages he goes on this is and to hear and to obey even if a leader is chosen from among you who is from the black Habashi slave who got a hit a raisin now you think about that now think about it at that time the very last thing that the atoms of that time was ever thinking about was that a hibachi slave somehow became their leader and to make sure the props are slim gave the description of him that he had a head like a raisin that means that in their eyesight he was not a handsome person and then I said he would dump black ash she wrinkled up the out of nothing they thought of their minds they never ever thought in their minds they would ever have to follow a man like that so the props awesome gave gave them the furthest most remote example masha'Allah Allah Subhan Allah he produced a leader of the Muslims like that is that his name was Bella live in rabaa mashallah he became the governor of Syria of Damascus his grave is there Damascus today and they called him master bonel these are the whitest Arabs you're going to find but they called him master Bilal Satan mm but the Allah and how the prophets also made this prediction do you think that some people from sham ever thought in their minds they would be following a black man who would be the other man the Sahaba of the Prophet saws then maybe with them it happened so the prophets all awesome gave us this example so that you and I when we think about a person who we don't like somebody who we don't want to follow you know that the Arabs they don't like the Pakistanis and the Pakistanis they don't like the adults you know and then the African don't like nobody no I don't mean that I don't mean that brother ah I could have switched it around you know I switches around sometimes no the issue here brothers and sisters honestly is that Allah subhana WA Ta'ala made it so that we have to hear and obey because it may be that someone who we don't like the way they look they don't like where he came from you know he don't say I mean he don't say well my barding he ain't got the board together while I choose him that's what the young what he said that's what the Bani Israel about about about what is it the King's name with a lute so why he chose him we better instead to be stronger than him we look better than we originally am well I'll choose him because that was the choice that lost panama's Allah made our responsibility as Muslims to prepare ourselves to hear and to obey so when they wonder if comma is called inside the mosque and we line up the Imam says esto salut salut fur coat well terrazzo hey Todd you loo the Imam is commanding you telling you line up straight in the rows shoulder the shoulder the Imam was telling you that you got no choice about it but that's only in the mosque after the Imam says a Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah Salaam aleikum - everybody's gone if your mom says sit down people say who are you the Vaughn Jamar the hottie bein sent on eight you saw it the email Montaigne you know after that they either switched up on Jamar we pray first I mean Jamar we on the Jamar we talk first and then we pray last on the eat we do it just to reverse we pray first and after that was for the top damar the muslims after after after the prayers over the after imam do all the takbirs and all that finish he get up the top Muslim Brook breaking out they started the BBQ two kids running all around he brothers are talking everybody got on new clothes sisters walking all around and he mommy talking Ken about him because the Muslims will have no respect if the Hadean of the Muslims had respect he would tell everybody everyone sit down and they would be sitting just like this and he could deliver to those four thousand those five thousand people as he supposed it but he cannot because the people are hearing and then I know babe Oh Muslims this will produce the effect of regulation and accountability among them if we have no accountability and no regulation amongst us it's a free fall it's every man for itself it's just a little thing that we set up you know this is the brothers dear Mia this brother the president here the Chairman whatever it is we just set it up like that there so people think we got a little organization together but in reality nothing happening we're fooling each other this is an affair this is deceit this is deception we must establish the basic services they must harness the basic resources it is the duty of the Magister shooter it is a duty of the people who are the people the custodians of the mosque the custodians of the Islamic community it is your duty to produce services for the community if you cannot produce a service then get out to see go sit home let somebody else it let's see whether you are the Emir you are the Imam or whatever if you don't have the time if you don't have the energy if you don't have the ability the commitment to serve the people and give the people what they need you need to give up that spot and let somebody else come and do that I don't care who you are no matter who you are you could be you could be a graduate of the University of the Kaaba if there is such a thing you could be the mufti of all Muftis if you are unable to serve the people because you don't really have no time you don't have the commitment you need to move out of that spot maybe you serve the people in a different capacity because this Islam needs workers there's another effort that I remember it says and so it may be just a part of some poem the Adams will know it it says men say you didn't ask I'm amendment Hardiman NASA say the room whoever serves the people is there say it he is there near the Amira's demand first one to wake up last one to go to bed he's the man that cleans washers regulates watches monitors he's the move of the shaker he's the man that would he listen to the ideas he's sacrificing for the people he got the feeling for the people he cries for the people he works for the people and they see him like that all the time that's the kind of Emil that we need we only know people with no big hats big heads big names big folks big bellies we don't need them kind of people because the companions of the prophet sallal all except there was not like that I don't know why but as I'm reading the Serie I did not find many of the Companions that prophesy him like that even the messenger of allah saw a lot of islam did you know that after he was 40 years old he fought all those battles after the age of 40 and did you know that he fought in at least 17 major battles after he was over the age of 50 that means he was carrying on his body 14 kilos of armor where the son was like 36 degrees celsius up and down mountain riding on a horse riding on a camel riding on a donkey and then fighting in the battles how could he have done that if he was like that no the prophecy I'll Sam wasn't eating a whole lot of whole lot of whatever it is that we the companions of the proper sauce them they was lean tough hard men and most of them who were fighting they over he was over 40 45 and 50 years old I ask you this what can the 4550 old men in this room do if I told you to run back home and come back here you couldn't do it in Mecca we were standing in Mecca one day mashallah the Saudis had wondered they have won the finals for the the World Cup or something they didn't win the World Cup they just got to the finals you know the World Cup you guys know what it is and so they was all run to all the young guys have all run through the streets and everything like they had fought the war beat the yahooeys and everybody they were blowing horns and waving the Saudi flag and in the back of their cars I thought man man maybe they just maybe they just took Jerusalem back I said what are they doing they won the finals of the of the World Cup some football so you got the young boys kicking the ball through the streets and the old men sitting up on the side of the road with the ball in their bellies so then what can young boys kicking a ball and the men who swallowed the ball what can they do now it's not really a joke it is sad it is tragic that we don't have young men who have the spirit of jihad or vigilance or defense or consciousness or discipline because they playing games and we don't have old men to govern those and guide those we don't have two old men the governor guide and to be the example for those people you get the separation there and so what I meant by that I'm given an analogy really that we have two separate groups that itself we need to change the muslims must establish the basic services that they must harness the basic resources basic resources of the community means human resources and material resources let's get understanding human resources means allah so allah says what to j he doing a fee civilian lobby I'm radical I'm physical that what he said the I'm radical move on to second my means money property I'm for second your energy your talent that's what we need if the Muslims want to achieve something you got to do the same thing the Jews do same thing the Christians do same thing the Buddhist do same thing the Hindus do same thing that I'm ideas do same thing about hiiis do the same thing everybody does you got to come with your people your skills you got to come with your money and your property bring it together if you don't want to do that you are going nowhere khafre's will be kicking dust in your face the rest of your life and the rest of your children's lives until you make up your mind to bring your property and your money and your person and your skills and bring them together and make them available to the jamar the Muslims must make the correct assessment of their environment we must think think cut off the TV cut off the radio take that mp3 out of your ear think about your situation a lot of analysis in the fuel consumer watch without water laughing lady when the heart the Ayatollah al bab al Adina your crew la di maama Putin while at Geneva him yet the if a coruña she-hulk assume Awad without yet the Aruna fee hocus my water without they are thinking about the creation of the heavens and earth they are thinking about their condition they are thinking about their society they are thinking about their nation they're thinking about the world we have to think make the right assessment of our condition we cannot just be reading the Quran as it just is it must have it is not just a must have the Quran is a dynamic set of principles we cannot be reading the Sunnah just memorizing hadith and talking about principles of Ikeda and bla bla know much about the society who is controlling the society who is controlling our resources who is building the roads who controls the communications who controls the food the irrigation who controls the agriculture who controls the power who controls the water who controls the land we have to think about that because when we make the correct assessment of our environment and we develop a spirit of competitiveness Allah subhana Allah told us first a vehicle Kairat first a vehicle hi rod the word first ABI who come from the verb Sbrocco to swim to compete to try to be better than the other in goodness first epical hi rod compete strive with each other for what higher Allah wants us to be competitive competitive gives the kuffar even when he wants us to be competitive more nothing wrong for the Muslims to have contests who would be the best Allah so Allah says that he is the one in particular the moon Rahu ala kulli shayin Qadir illogical upon multiple Herto li able to walk home are you calm San Juan Allah to see which one of us would be the best in our contact and our conduct the Muslims have to strive and have a develop a spirit of competitiveness Muslims have to be vigilant vigilant Muslims have to be vigilant that means your eyes open the ears open listening watching checking what's going on the Muslim is not the one that somebody sneaks up on him and robs his dignity the Muslim is not the one that somebody sneaked up on his family and robbed their virginity the Muslim is not the wonderful somebody sneak up on him and plot on him and all the while he's sleeping and chilling no the Muslim is vigilant watching checking even he's watching and checking his women how a man allows his wife to go out the house with perfume highly long his wife to go out without his jab Highland his wife to go out he's just mixing with men how the man just saw his wife to do that the Prophet SAW Allah loves them gave a name for that man what's it what's that name they use they use this is the man he does not they don't mind his wife shaking hands with men he don't mind his wife sit now next to men being chummy with them he don't mind leaving his wife in Heluva with another man he don't mind his wife leaving the house with lipstick and perfume on and all that in the door for did he already saw her do that when she got up she putting on mascara she's doing all that had a man let his wife leave like that he is the youth and the profits allows them say the man that is the youth Allah won't even look at him on a day of judgment he won't even look at you because you let your prized possession your wives and you weren't your wives and your daughters you let them go like that the Muslim have to be vigilant he must guard himself he must guard his family he was God in society in his gardens community wherever the Muslims is that is supposed to be a place that people want to live the non-muslims should want to live in the Muslim community because there's no drugs no alcohol and no fitna and no loud music playing ain't no crazy don't boys running around they not the property is safe their person is safe the value of the properties in a Muslim community goes up everybody want to live there because the Muslims patrol that area that's what happened in Medina when the Muslims came to Medina everybody want to be that the Jews didn't want to move out after they conspired the council said put them out the Christian didn't want to look move out the ones that didn't accept Islam didn't want to move out they stayed and when it was time to pay the jizya this would happen all over the Muslim world people wanted to stay with the Muslims because to be with the Muslims to be prosperous to be with the Muslims is to be safe to be with the Muslims the move would progress the buta Muslim there was justice so Muslims are the people who are competitive vigilant and finally the Muslims have empowerment Muslim strive for empowerment we want to buy up all the houses in the neighborhood when the churches ain't nobody going to the church we buy the church too when the buyers go out it pumps go out of business we buy the pub's turn them in the schools Muslims look for every property that comes up for sale and we buy it in our neighborhood and we got the money we don't need fancy cars we need to buy the property call another Muslim come live there until in that area the Muslims own everything the Muslims cannot be isolationist that means you can't just be righteous people living over in a corner someplace you can't say to all the side them as kafirs doses mourn I fix those is moot daddy brother those are deviants over there and we the only righteous people and we over here because you will not be able to feed yourself just because you're righteous you will not be able to deal with the services that you need because you're righteous I always ask brothers who are always criticizing other people this one is wrong that would have drawn them Catholics man songs of them but some blah blah I asked my kid listen when you were sick but hospital you go to do you go you go to the righteous Hospital the ones who got it what kind of doctor yo your wife go to a she pregnant she got to go to that prenatal examination when the guys going to put that glove on over up to his elbow what doctor you goat is is that doctor you understand me what meth habit he got what guidance of that doctor have what grocery store you go to what farm you go to what school do your children go to do you pay taxes is your landlord a righteous person also because these are the services that control us I say the Muslims need to get control of this services and stop pointing at each other take control first after you take control then we can start talking about our house we get our house together first take control first did we start cleaning up the house Muslims must be prepared to teach and preach their religion teach and preach their message while integrating and interacting I say we should teach and preach but we must also interact and integrate yes the prophets a lot of them he brought the teaching and the preaching to Medina didn t but he also interacted and integrated the first rule the Prophet SAW stems established the first principle the process of Sam established was a simple one he sent to the Muslims when they arrived in Medina he said totally moot time were Takara of Salaam men are after Ramadan tariff give food look how beautiful that is imagine some people just arriving and when they arrived they just start giving out food that's what the rape trials do that's what the consulate Relief Society does that's what all these these are missionaries are doing in the Muslim countries they are arriving with train loads boat loads plane loads of food and medicine because they know that they will be greeted so he said to Teemu Tom what a colossal our men are after woman lamb caliph give food distribute food and also take the invitation and also give the good greeting and return the good breeding to whom you know and whom you don't know this is the social principle of Islam also the Muslims must learn to interact with the other community learn to interact with the intellectuals learn to interact with the politicians learn to interact with the businessman I didn't say be like them I don't say live next to them I didn't say chill with them and drink with them and eat well I didn't say that I said interact with them do business with them people who are politicians make deals with them the props Lawson he did it he made treaties read the Sidra of the Prophet saws family the sealer of the props awesome and doing the melody period is full of treaties what is those treaties those deals to perhaps have some struck deals agreement between the non-muslims and Muslims the Jews in the crisp dream the Jews the Christians and the Muslims and the people who was the desert Adams the pagans he made deals with them with the kings for the princes and rulers and different places he made deals with him we can make deals also also not only did he make deals with them but the Prophet SAW said he borrowed money from them you know the story of when a Jew came to the Prophet asim came to Medina came to the message of the Prophet SAW said a Yahoo D came to the message of the prophet saw Sam and stood up over the props awesome and said o Muhammad give me my money grabbing his clothes and give me my money and the Companions of the Prophet Asim stood up to kill him they want to kill him how can a Yahoo to come in the message of the Prophet SAW Sam grabbing his clothes like they're talking like that kill him no the prophet saw him said don't do that this man has a hot over me he has a duty a right over me is there any one of you who can help me to pay off this debt so whose man even a fan right there lo and he said Oh a super boss allows them I have some palm trees in the far end of Medina I would give it to him that yahoodi he said no I came to see if you were in fact a prophet because if you were a prophet you would honor this debt and if you are not the Prophet you would abuse me I said do a layer either in the law I should do a number hamid rasool allah so allah loves them so we see the prophets of allah wa sallam he's interacting how he's borrowing money from a yahoodi he's doing business with them we can do business we can interact but we hold our Aikido and we hold our integrity and we hold on to our Islam and we maintain the leverage of our power base the Muslims must be conscious and focused upon creating and sustaining institutions education commercial social services communication Dawa administrative services institutions they should be all around where Muslims are is too otherwise they will be subordinate to the kapha institutions and the Capitals will make them dysfunctional and the castles will make them sterile in the society that's the choice we have either build our own or to be subordinate to somebody else number six they must be committed and dynamic in the work of dower they must develop a new profound platform of dower now what does that mean that means that if there are four or five hundred six hundred people here in this room in other rooms here today then when we make a call for dower we go to our neighbors we go to our colleagues we go to our co-workers we go to our family if we are new Muslims and we tell them something dynamic you got to come you got to here I've been talking to you I've been dealing with you I've been pleading with you you got to come and hear this because I can't explain it and you bring them out 600 Muslims that do that and try to do that for the next 90 days 600 soon we'll bring 200 non-muslims and my experience is that if 200 non-muslims come in room like this and they see that clear bottle of water of Islam whatever they thought about Islam they will get to see it that night they will hear it they will see it they will understand it and I will tell you what the results usually are my experience is that usually out of every 100 people that come to a lecture are non-muslims that come to a lecture 10 or 12 accept Islam just like that just like that because this is the present of a loss of Harlan dollar and a loss of $1 yak diminish at where you lived among your share allah subhanho wa taala 5 I'll deny you read he's the dude of whatever he pleases and the hearts of the people is between the fingers of allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala and when a lost one that wants a person he comes out he comes to here he sees it's clear for him he says oh I understand oh I like that oh I want that and I have seen it so many times over and over and just to give you an idea of that I have witnessed myself I have seen myself just in the last two years I've seen over 3,000 shadows in situations just like this 3,000 in just the last couple of years 10,000 in the last seven years our neighbors our co-workers our people that we work with and deal with every single day the ones we go to school with every day some of them want to be Muslim but they don't understand it because of the Muslims themselves sometimes we got to move the Muslims out the way for people to see Islam and I'm telling you brothers and sisters that if you do this work of Dawa in this city you do it unselfishly it don't have to be no dynamic brother don't you don't have to get no dynamic brother to come here and do no dour the Dow was dynamic enough by itself the water is clear if you put this here next to a dirty bottle the people will accept this one all the time it's just that the Muslims are in the way most of the time when people say I don't like Aslam they're really talking about Muslims move the Muslims out the way and let the people see your slab and you're going to see masha'Allah something happening in front of you people will start coming into Islam so fast you're going you won't even have teachers form the problem I think with some of the Muslims is that you don't want these other people become Muslim because you think they might move you out the way but that's the way a lot of works if that's going to happen it's going to happen anyway you may as well join what's going to happen o Muslims they must be aware of the world you must be aware of the society do not live in a bubble understand the fickle wacky air ask the students of knowledge ask the scholars look around yourselves go to the internet ask questions of scholars who know as Muslim scientists Muslim doctors Muslim educators as Muslim businessmen what is going on in business Aston what's going on in politics in government in a society in the world ask them so you know because the Muslims have to develop something called contemporary and relative fit I didn't say we change the fit there's no change in the fit but the film itself has got to address the contemporary in relative situations we don't have a static fit in Islam the fake is there the fit is there to facilitate the Quran leanness under static doesn't move it's perfect but the fit the understanding it is moving it is dynamic for every time and every place for all people for all conditions and our fit our scholars our students of knowledge they have to address the contemporary situations then we will see that people going to respect Islam because they will see that the Quran and the Sunnah addresses all the situations brothers and sisters I want to thank you so much and I want to finally say to you that the Muslims must be connected to the scholars and the students of knowledge who have the correct al Qaida and that the Delisle which is presented by our to us by our pious predecessors that means every Muslim you can't be trying to follow Islam and look into Islam and learn a slam and you ain't connected to those scholars you ain't connected to no students of knowledge how do you think the knowledge will come to you if you want plug you gonna get some power for your computer for your television you gotta plug it in the wall you can't just go buy some new television or buy yourself new computer you only plug it in the wall you can have a car and you don't pull up next a petrol pump and put some gas in there how you gonna get knowledge you're not near the scholars you don't have the books of the scholars you're not next to the students of knowledge how you gonna get knowledge do you think you'll go to the book store buy some books you crazy you're confused the best thing you're going to get buying a whole lot of books and bring it inside your houses a whole lot of confusion the knowledge does not come by the books the knowledge comes through the scholars comes to the scholars into the students another if you want to be something you want to get the knowledge become a student of a student of a student at least make sure that you authenticate your knowledge and that you are upon the correct ikeda because if you have no correct connection with allah subhanaw taala it's all barton it's all useless it doesn't mean nothing make sure your connection with the last one that is correct and make sure that your knowledge is correct make sure that you are upon the Quran and upon the sunnah of the prophet salaallah this now you should build constructive and healthy relationships with the leaders and intellectuals of the other society I said we don't have a have a we don't always have to have an adversarial relationship with the non-muslims why Muslims always talk about the kafirs you don't have to be calling people kafirs yet they're non-muslims but why you got always the catalyst this and the calf was dead when nine of the ten things that you need in life came from the kafirs when you came in this country I want to remind most of you who want to stay here in this kapha country you got to have a stamp on your passport you got the careful money in your pocket you got the kaffir picture on that money and you probably got a calf a landlord so why you keep talking about the kafirs develop a healthy relationship with the non-muslims I don't say we joined them I don't say we imitate them I don't say we love them they don't love us they don't join us they don't follow us but we have to develop a healthy relationship so that we can get the most out of the worse situation because the prophets allows them he taught us that he said well I seen you in the law you had will not see me allah subhan allah says and what a greeting is given to you follow it up a1 that is what equal or better the muslims was engaged in tewara soul and talked to a sow and tire one push themselves as the loss of hundred dollars is what to I so will be Sudbury what do I so will have I want to I so will happy what to I so we suffer insult us on dinner last analysis what to us all be summary what to are so bill murder hammer the Muslims have to forgive the Muslims have to forgive and let go the Muslims have to pardon each other the Muslims have to cooperate with each other the Muslims had to become brothers and sisters to each other the Muslims have to support each other you're going to have to do this and put that pill away whatever it is you holding for that other Muslim you know that enmity that envy that jealousy whatever it is you hold and against that Muslim group or person put it away I don't say follow the deviant people I didn't say that no we don't follow the deviant people but we adopt the relationship with the Muslim to get the best from that Muslim because a Muslim is the brother of a Muslim even if he is estranged or even if he's a sinner he is still a Muslim we do not call a Muslim that commit sins a kafir a Muslim never becomes a kafir until they become immortal if they make Rinda they say they make a rid of a man they say I'm no longer a Muslim and they make cover then they become careful but a Muslim does not become a Catholic because of the alleviates and they don't become a Catholic because of their sin so Muslims that be careful because one day the person who you call a kafir because of the weak situation they are in five years from now you may find out that you in a situation and you would not want somebody to call you whatever you call them and we know the issue of the huddle think about the hadith about the huddle nobody knows what their culture is going to be so be careful when you call somebody a kafir that name or that accusation goes up into the heavens and comes back down on the one who is really a kafir we leave it for the whole amount and the hide the judges of the Muslims those who may Allah that wants to make assessments we leave for them to make that determination and not us we treat every Muslim as a Muslim if they are Center we punish them for their sins if we are if we are able to if we have the authority if they are sinners and we know they're committing the sin of their deviance we point out the deviance to them we're enjoying it right we forget the rock for bit wrong we advise we do everything that we can but a Muslim is the brother of a Muslim and I say we should put Brotherhood first and put the differences after that well law either or Muslims the prophecy laws name said we should think positive we should think think positive and speak good about the Muslims in their condition he says let him who believes in Allah and the last day either say what's good or what Oh keep quiet if you don't have something good to say about another Muslim I came quiet just shut up close your mouth bite your tongue zip your lips whatever you want to call it you don't have something good to say keep quiet we don't need to hear it the prophet sallallaahu 11m gave us this kind of edom he told him in hostile Islam and Madhuri Tariq oho manda Yanni it's part of being a good Muslim to leave alone that was none of your business that means if you know if a Muslim is doing something you ain't got nothing to do with that mind your business while you are in my business like you all in somebody else's business why are you talking about everybody else you don't have a house you got some children you don't need to tie your shoes no pull up your socks you only clean your house up your backyard you don't deal with your own children your own situation have you looked at yourself in the mirror lately speak good promote good if you hear about a Muslim that you disagree with if somebody asked you about that person say mashallah I like that brother I like that sister he's a good brother shot by Mel off forgive his sins and Shawn forgive my sins also finish why is it difficult to say that you lost nothing you and say I love the person I agree with what they do and I'm gone they say my Peter you didn't say that you just pardon it overlooked default because this is the man of this lab and helps us to come out brings our self closer together dear brothers and sisters thank you very much for your patience and your tolerance for hearing me to address this issue I hope there's something that I said was of some benefit to you in Shaba being a fan
