believe in him we trust in him and we bear witness that nothing deserves to the worship except Allah and we bear witness that muhammad sallallahu alayhe wassallam as a laws slave and this mission we bear witness that whomever Allah guides has guided the rider who never my lives to her no one can guide them we ask Allah to bless His Messenger Muhammad SAW from Riley sungeum allows less Messenger and his servant we ask him to bless his companions and his family all of them I mean brothers and sisters I stand before you this afternoon in this Masjid with a very basic message and that is the message of the brotherhood brotherhood of Islam I'm here today because I was blessed to fly to Syracuse New York and to witness a community that started a project called the learning center the learning the north side Learning Center and these Muslims in Syracuse have got a school specifically for refugees you may not know this that around the world there over ten million refugees that's been forced out of their country and they go from country to country because they cannot live in peace and security in their own land the core refugees and did you know that 73% of the refugees and the world are Muslims so every where you look on this planet you see Muslim refugees from Syria from Palestine from Somalia from Sudan from Afghanistan from Iraq everywhere you look and you see these refugees the question is what what can we do this Masjid dark-eyed job is known around the country as a very generous Masjid you could become tired because so many people come here on the one hand but on the other hand you ought to be honored that so many people come here because you have a history of giving so today I want to take just a few moments to see if we can help them in their project conservatives I just left circus I was there two weeks ago I come to LA these Muslims are buying some property a huge Church a school and a house and they need about a hundred thousand dollars and where wherever we have to go to do it in China we would do it but let me first say this I got a visit recently in my office from a young Muslim sister that I've known since she was a little girl now she's a little bit old and she's about 21 years old she came into my Masjid she wasn't wearing hijab and I said what are you doing here she said he ma'am I just wanted to see you I haven't seen you in years I just want to see you I just want to give you the greetings and we spoke for a while and before she left back so this question what about you Islam because we have a mandate as Muslims to help one another in the Dean so I asked what about you Islam she said Imam I want to be honest with you I don't make salat and I don't faster Ramadan I want to be honest with you but she said a ma'am I believe so I wanted to take a moment here to address this issue that she said I believe and she's not unlike so many Muslims that I've heard again and again and again say I don't make a lot but I believe I don't pray I so fast in Ramadan but I believe I want to make a statement about this and then we're going to conclude a long time ago some people made a statement to the messenger of allah subhan line said them and the statement that they made to the messenger of allah reached allah so allah responded to his messenger based on what these people said a long time of god and not only that Allah respond to it he put it in the Quran so that until Jana Fiamma will be the same verse based upon a statement that was made 1400 years ago let's see what they said and let us see the response of allah subhanho wa taala [Music] kala jamun coulomb to me no lackin Gullu Aslam now alumni at the end a man whose people knew before the desert Arabs say we believe cool say o Muhammad learn to me no you do not really believe hulu as lambda say you have submitted well Maya the holy man's equal you become but fate has not entered into the heart we make a man something cheap a man is something great a man is better than Islam it's a high degree of faith then men being a Muslim and the way how people talk like to be a Muslim to make salat and give zakat is something inferior but Allah subhana Allah is making an Amman superior in the middle and Athena have a noble a or a studio to Malawi or taboo but you have to be Amalia my enthusiam feasibility that will equal Saudi kun a true believer those who believe in Allah and His Messenger and then have not since doubted and they strive with their lives and their properties in the way of Allah these are the truthful how many times have you heard it said that I am a non-practicing muslim' I'm a Muslim but I don't practice so many of our young children to say I'm a Muslim but I don't practice and really to say that your non practicing Muslim is an oxymoron it is impossible to be a non-practicing muslim' because they Muslim by definition practices the faith so brothers and sisters I want us to think for a moment listen to what she said the ma'am I am a non-practicing muslim' but listen to what Allah said o Quran nothing up to general incivility Abu do I am NOT created the jinn and the human beings except to worship Me the works Allah in worship Allah the make insulin we worship Allah by making pilgrimage to Mecca the question is what do we do say does not some nebulous kind of you know I am a believer some nebulous some insignificant something but really faith is something deeper than that the greatest issue is to do the good work and then really believe let me give an example of personal submitted they will to do the will of Allah last year you heard about this man a Muslim from Bosnia who walked from Bosnia to Mecca 3,600 miles to make Hajj all he have is 200 euro dollars but he wanted to go for Hajj and he walked through six countries including Syria why because he knew that The Messenger of Allah Subhan our Sultan said will hatch la boule Salah huijin's design in agenda and a heart that is accepted by Allah the reward is nothing but L Jenna how do you tell me that you're Muslim and you don't even do the basic this is from Quran at least the desert Arabs would at least they submitted the will that least makes a lot but hiding that makes a lot 5 times a day how dare you say well I'm a Muslim but I ain't gonna do five prayers a day I'm gonna skip project fight it's too difficult for me no your slave of Allah so the question is what are you doing what are you doing with your not what do you say what are you doing with your Islam the closest example that I have of a person who didn't do much he's a man who came to the prophet alayhi salat wa sallam and said yah go so Allah the prophet was fighting he said ya Rasul Allah who party Lu out who slimming o Messenger of Allah should I fight or should I become a Muslim allah rasool ullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam asked him to my party for as llama or cattle and so cupola corner rasool ullah he saw blah blah Ali was said I mean left a Leland what would you like to feel what should I do try fight should I fight with you against these people fighting against should I fight but should I become a Muslim become a Muslim first and then fight so the man became a Muslim he fought and he was slain and the Prophet peace and blessings be upon him said he did a little work but got big reward but at least he did something the question is what are we doing not what we're talking about not what we rappin about but what are we doing [Music] well um the lovable are being reliable wahoo wahoo - curriculum running sisters only I believe that this community has some of the best Muslims in America I do and you've given year after year you've given to Masjid you've given to belief and I don't want you to ever stop giving I was in Flint Michigan and I remember what mom Luther King jr. said he said life's most persistent and urgent question is what are you doing for others some was in Flint Michigan Flint Michigan of one of the poorest cities in America but one of the great ironies as someone who richest Muslims live in Flint Michigan and I was with my good friend dr. jawad sha just two weeks ago and I must admit that they're doing some tremendous work for the people of Flint Michigan dr. Josh Shah had some property and a big businessman came into Flint Michigan and they were thinking about bringing their business to Flint Michigan and he wanted the property that dr. Josh I am dr. Joanne told me he gave him the property and when the people said why did you do that he said it would benefit the people of Flint Michigan so the question is what are we doing for other people I close with this I wish that you can go with me to Syracuse less than 300 miles from here and I wish you can see those 100 refugee children think about this these are refugee children who come into America you don't know this but many of them will come to America they lose their Dean but these brothers in the north side Learning Center even on you some refugees they're and they're the people their faith is increased because of what they get there in that north side Learning Center is tremendous think about a lot I close with this think about a line here Allah according to tradition gave one tradition says a man another one says a process to Allah forgave that person their sins because they gave water to a dog not a human being but gave water to a dog and Allah forgave that person for their sins because of what they did what did they do they gave water to a dog in another traditional law punished a woman in the Hellfire because of what she did to a cat Allah forgave a person because gave water to a dog punished a person because that person mistreated a cat unmanifest you today for money for a dog or to do some good for cash what about a human being if you look at a new Hagia a person that migrated I'm not saying that we just given money for those who migrated I'm saying something more profound than that they not migrating they're refugees these are people that are endangered in the old country so they come to America seeking refuge and we the Muslims are good at helping other people not helping a dog or cat not a refugee in an immigrant but a refugee but not just a refugee a review of refugee child the most vulnerable so masculine that when I leave to remember this I close with the prophets of rustling and Al Bukhari he said they'll have to rush me live in alphys I didn't appeal and the law mainly the traffic made a bond the brotherhood between the Mujahideen and the answer and they put them together with these immigrants who were forced out of Mecca and he put them together and they helped one another I'm asking you today to help this north side Learning Center in Syracuse with your donations and a lumen or a full Muslim the Muslims have referred to a Muslim in the mail moving on a deaf work and verily the believers are brothers we ask Allah subhana WA Ta'ala to help us and our hearts together we asked Allah the Almighty to help the immigrants around the world we asked Allah the Almighty to help the Muslims who are suffering in Syria help the Muslims in Palestine help the Muslims in Iraq help the Muslims in Somalia help the Muslims all over the broken and acontecimiento are open and let our finest Ilana benevolent Elena estranja - Lina Lina banana Tamela totally knobby beforehand Wilden would have no internal an offence another common Katherine Robin Antin aphid dunya hustle eternal feel I feel at the hazard at the most inaudible now they're automatically are homogeneous [Laughter] [Music] [Music]
