The Truth Needs No Lies | Dr. Omar Suleiman - Doha Tour

for that introduction uh my beloved brother Isam may Allah bless you and bless your family and thank you to that AI bot uh because that could have gone a very different direction so I'm happy with the way that that went I want to begin by thanking each and every single one of you for being here honored guests honored ambassadors staff uh leaders here at qf want to thank my beloved brother Dr Dakar n far n as well for being here may bless all of you and all of the students I gather it's a pretty busy time around here as I was walking around the hallway I almost walked into about five graduations so congratulations to all the graduating classes and to their families and congratulations to all of you for finishing your final exams with that being said I'm actually going to begin with a question how many of you have ever seen a solar or a lunar eclipse can you raise your hands did you all witness the one in Ramadan no so I want to take you back just about a month ago where we witnessed a very clear eclipse in Dallas Texas people flew from all over the country every single hotel room was taken to witness this eclipse and I'd never seen one before at least not as clear as the one that I would see that day now it also happened to land in the last 10 days of Ramadan and so half of the people thought that it was the other half thought that it was so it was like an interesting Dynamic to see the the way that the community is oriented a very hopeful Outlook and a very very pessimistic Outlook that it either means the beginning or the end but it can't mean anything in between and I remember it came around and I walked outside and I looked up at it and I caught this clear glimpse of it and Subhan Allah I thought to myself what a powerful sign and for the first time I actually appreciated the context in which this happened in the life of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam with all of us knowing that it was coming with all the forecasts and the preparation and the clouds and knowing exactly when and having the preparation with the glasses and the timing set it was still absolutely stunning imagine being in the middle of the desert with absolutely no warning and then suddenly you look up and there is a solar or a lunar eclipse wouldn't you think that it was the end of the world wouldn't you think wow what a strange thing to happen wouldn't you understand why the prophet s alaihi wasallam was rushing everyone to the Masjid to take this sign from Allah subhana t as a reminder once again that Allah is in control of time and space and Allah controls the fixed and the variable and the things that you take for granted can suddenly become things that are completely unpredictable and all of that is a reminder of the day in which the Earth beneath us is changed and we stand before our Lord subhanahu wa taala in a completely different setting you would understand it if you if you truly were able to contextualize it but why am I starting with this and how does it relate to the topic what makes this that much more stunning in the time of the Prophet Salli wasallam is that it coincided with another event if you knew the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam in Medina in fact even if you knew him in Mecca a few years after he received Revelation you wouldn't have known the prophet sallallah alaihi wasallam as a new father for the previous six children you would have known that he has lost some of his children he has buried some of his children sallallahu alaihi wasallam but suddenly close to the end of his life Allah blesses him with a baby boy and this was the only time that you got to surround the prophet Sall alaihi wasallam when he was blessed with a child especially for the ANS of Medina who love the prophet s wasam more than they love themselves and I want you to imagine the mood in Medina when the prophet Salli wasallam has a baby boy and he names him what ibim and ibim he said sallallahu alaihi wasallam I am the answer of the Dua of my father ibim the way that we name our children after our fathers I am the answer answer to the prayer of My Father Abraham and now he has a son and he names him ibraim and everyone in Medina is so happy to see the prophet sallai wasallam as a new father he's done for your children he has made the aan for you he has come to your home to visit you the whole Community is in celebration and then the prophet sallallah alaihi wasallam receives the news that ibraim is sick and he comes outat and as an describes the scene he holds his son and ibraim breathes his last breaths in the hands of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam you see a dying child and you see the prophet Sall alaihi wasallam in pain holding his child breathing his last and the tears of the Prophet Salli wasallam start to fall until his beard becomes wet and it's a very Vivid Des description the tears of the messenger sallallahu alaihi wasallam are falling on his child as he holds him and here the prophet sallai wasallam gives us the famous narration on how to grief the heart Grieves the eyes shed tears we are sad over your death o ibim but we only say that which is pleasing to Allah subhana tala you get the context you just saw your superhero wasam who you love more than yourself holding his dead child and you might feel as helpless as a parents who lost their own because you want to comfort the prophet Sall alaihi wasallam but it's also you too cry wait this hurts you too now in that context imagine on that day looking up and the Sun and the Moon eclipse what would you assume is happening you would assume surely the supernatural sign that is occurring in front of us has something to do with the pain that the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam has suffered with this tragedy that the prophet Sall alaihi wasallam has suffered and the prophet sallam rushed to the Masjid and he led them in Sal and after he prays the prophet of Allah s wasam he could have let the people start to talk because this the word started to get out that this happened because of the death of his son and the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam stands up and he says the Sun and the Moon do not eclipse for the death of anyone nor for the life of anyone they are two signs from the signs of Allah and so when you see it Eclipse then exert yourself in prayer sallallah alaihi wasallam for the very first time I really gained an appreciation for this Hadith in the moment and I'll tell you exactly how it relates to this topic there was a sentence that came to my head and I'm going to share it with you real prophets don't need fake lies to prove themselves the prophet Salli wasallam had he been what they claimed he was could have milked the situation what clearer sign than when my son dies the sun and the moon eclipse right afterwards if anyone had any doubt any any skepticism I couldn't show you I couldn't show you so many other things but this look he could have at least let them talk and assume but he felt it was imperative sallallah alaihi wasallam at that moment to say no no this doesn't happen for the death of anyone nor for the life of anyone but these are two signs from the signs of Allah exert yourself in prayer a real Prophet doesn't need fake lies he doesn't need any fake signs a real Prophet doesn't need fake signs he's listening to people recite poetry around him sallallah alaih wasallam and as the ansar sing their Praise of the messenger Sall one of the lines of poetry says he knows what is tomorrow and the prophet s says no no no don't say that no one knows what happens tomorrow except for Allah subhana wa tala this is a man sallallahu alaihi wasallam who gives you signs we're seeing some of the signs of the day of judgment play out in front of us as clear as Night and Day part of being wasallam is that he prophesizes much of the Revelation that came to him in the Quran talked about historical events that would happen in the future predictions Prophecies of that which is to come the story of the Roman and the Persian Empire the prophet s wasallam could have said I have an interpretation I kind of know what's tomorrow but I don't know exactly what's tomorrow no no no don't say he knows what's tomorrow take this line out only Allah knows what's tomorrow he is a messenger of Allah sallallah alaihi wasallam he is secure in his message he doesn't need to embellish any further what is already the most potent beauty of the Quran that it is Al the truth revealed by the truth subhanahu wa taala he doesn't need to embellish anything does he need to have a big house sallallahu alaihi wasallam you know there's a complex right for the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam to impose himself as a leader upon the people with the way that he dresses perhaps they wanted the prophet Salli wasallam to sit differently they wanted the prophet Salli wasallam to dress differently they found themselves ashamed at times that the prophet Salli wasallam was the hungriest amongst them even in refused a chair to sit while they all sat on the floor so what did they do they put some dirt and tried to turn it into a mound so that there was some distinction because they said when a Safir would come when an ambassador would come they wouldn't know which one of us isi wasallam I don't need that the prophet wasam lived in the prophet s was Secure in himself even when he's dying don't turn my grave into a don't build this huge massive tomb for me I don't need that send your salawat on me wherever you are it will reach me Allah it will reach me I don't need it now you understand what makes him so stunning sallallah alaihi wasallam that when you saw him you weren't just captured by his Beauty you were captured truly by his essence you know the scholars talked about they said who's more beautiful the prophet sallam or yfam said the prophet Salli wasallam had the Jamal of YF Alam he had the beauty of yfam and truly the way he's described sallallahu alaihi wasallam is a stunning manam I mean when you looked at him everything about his features was absolutely stunning and captivating but they said that the beauty of the Prophet s was covered in his in his Essence in his honor in his respect his Jamal was covered in his Jalal Sall alaihi wasallam his Beauty was covered by a cover of Glory so much so that you find the narrations of the sahabah that I can't just some people said I never looked at the prophet sallam I never stared at him because I put my head down when I was in his presence it was too much he was so respectable he was honorable sallallahu alaihi wasallam not because of what he projected of a worldly superiority but because clearly he is a man on a mission Sall alaihi wasallam sent with something of truth and that's why when came from ad he's a respectable man a doctor and he's someone who's the chief of his tribe the people of Mecca wanted to preempt the meeting with the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam so what did they tell him they said he's a sorcerer he said look if he talks if T hears him speak we're in trouble cuz a respectable man will know a respectable man an honorable man will know an honorable man he'll see him and he'll know something's up we have to fill his ears with a bunch of nonsense before he gets to him and what do we have to deal with constantly when we're talking to people about Islam first you've got to pour out all the garbage that they've heard about Islam before they can hear you you have to disarm remove the layer now let me tell you about Islam after telling you everything Islam is not so they wanted to fill his ears with so much that he wouldn't give the prophet Sall alaihi wasallam a chance because they knew if he gave the prophet sallai wasallam a chance we'd be in trouble it would speak for itself so they said he's a sorcerer so what did he do he put cotton his cotton in his ears think about a man walking around with earplugs doing th off you know what he said he said I looked at the prophet Salli wasam I said he doesn't look like a sorcerer to me he doesn't look like the suser he doesn't look he doesn't have that look let me hear what he has to say and then that was itd the chief Rabbi of Medina the chief Rabbi of Medina the most respectable Jewish scholar he knew the signs were there but he said as soon as I saw the prophet s wasallam knew that's not the face of a liar he looked the part sallallahu alaihi wasallam real prophets don't need fake signs he looked theart and then when he opened his mouth sallallahu alaihi wasallam it confirmed what you could already tell about him with all of that dear brothers and sisters let me bring you to the verse of the Quran that I'd like to discuss and decipher in today's context especially with what is happening in festine but first let's just start with Islam after the most profound and captivating verse in the Quran until the end of the Ayah an Ayah that is so beautiful that if you were to read it to anybody in the world Muslim or non-muslim they would be able to appreciate this beautiful comprehensive description of God even if they weren't Muslim they would say what a beautiful description of God that you have what a coherent compelling comprehensive beautiful description of God that you have the next verse after that verse is there is no compulsion in religion truth has already been made Apparent from falsehood you don't need to embellish this further the truth is already clear there's no compulsion in religion and Subhan Allah there are two stories that are encompassed in this verse the first part of it many of the scholars talked about the reasons for its Revelation and they talked about stories that happened around the revelation of that verse because there were different realities as time went on in Islam in Mecca you had a bunch of children who embraced Islam and their parents were oppressing them and so that's one Dynamic you have to work through and then in Medina you have a different Dynamic altogether and one of those narrations that mentions is that there was a man whose two children before the prophet Salli wasallam declared prophethood work this out with me okay before the prophet wasam received Revelation his two sons became Christian now by the way Christianity is far superior to the idol worship of Mecca and back back then you have the the the people the the the people who were monotheists they were HS they believed in one God some of them like became biblical Scholars they were looking for the truth in and they were trying to see through the scriptures of the people of the book and so it's likely that their embracing of Christianity before the prophet s wasam receives Islam comes from a place of great nobility look how complex the situation is so the father of these two boys hasn't seen his sons for a long time they traveled to the lands of the Christians right somewhere into the Roman Empire and their father embraced Islam so he was an idol worshipper when they became Christian their father embraced Islam and then he sees his two sons coming to Medina in the delegation of the Christians holding crosses after Islam Subhan Allah how the tables have turned so he goes up to them and he he's very aggressive with them and he says I will not leave you until you bear witness that he is the messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wasallam so first he was angry at them because he was an idol worshipper now he's angry at them because he's a Muslim and you have to become Muslim right now and says this is around the time that the verse was revealed no no there's no compulsion religion the prophet Sall alaihi wasallam said no you don't this is not how this works this is a religion of not a religion of this is a religion that convinces you not a religion that compuls you this is not how this works why the truth doesn't need to be forced down anyone's throat give them a chance to hear and they will embrace it themselves sit them down and say by the way let me tell you about wasallam and take you to meet this man he comes from the spirits of the same religion that you Embrace perhaps seeking monotheism and here he is the brother of the prophet of Allah as well so come listen to him but they tried or he tried a different approach no no we don't need this and Subhan Allah this is the power of the message Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala did not require of the Muslims to spread Islam by forcing people to become Muslim it is actually antithetical to The Message of Islam so even when there is battle when there is Jihad when there is conquest and all these historical realities in Islam the population is not to be subjected to Islam they don't have to become Muslim Persia remained zoroastrian for a very long time Muslims were the minority even after the conquest of Persia because there was this idea that we don't force people to say muham treat them fairly they have the jizya they have their way of living their religious communities are preserved but no we we're not going to force them to become Muslim now are there bad examples in Islamic history where that wasn't applied absolutely but we have a pretty good sample size and we take pride in entering Jerusalem and not going in there and saying this church has got to go fact saying the opposite when he's invited to pray to RA in Bethlehem in the Holy supplier and he says no no if I pray two raas here I know how Muslims are later on Muslims are going to come and turn this place into a Masjid let me walk out and pray to let me pray my Salah there and Subhan Allah there we have M Omar I don't need to force you to become Muslim you'll see the beauty of Islam yourself in due time it will come to you as well this is what the scholars mention of the Hadith of the Prophet s alaihi wasallam Allah subhana tala is Amazed by those those who entered Islam after being in Chains It's not a l literal chaining people and forcing them to become Muslim what is the prophet s wasam talking about that after battles took place in these places the children of many of those who fought Islam in fact some of those who fought Islam and were defeated militarily became the greatest torchbearers of Islam the maali carried Islam the Persians the former slaves They Carried Islam they loved the religion they embraced it they became the scholars of this tradition imagine Allah subhana T sees these people they enter into Islam so beautifully they didn't take it by compulsion but they took it after being convinced and then became its greatest practitioners Allah subhana T does not need this to happen the end of this Ayah by the way cuz the other story so imagine the father who's trying to force his kids to become Muslim after they became Christian Allah subh mentions in this verse the trustworthy handhold that is referring to an opposite scenario says that one time a man walked into the Masjid and he had these signs of beautiful humility so he's talking about the second generation of Muslims the so this man walked in and he had these beautiful signs on him of humility and and worship and so the people start to say that guy is from the people of paradise so he said I got curri so I went up to him and said uh the people are saying you're from the people of J he said Subhan Allah people shouldn't say what they don't know and he said but the reason they say that is because I had this dream Once by the way the man is abdah the rabbi of Madina who became Muslim said I had this dream in the time of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam that I was in this garden and in the middle of the garden there was a pole the bottom of the pole was in the Earth the pole extended all the way through the heavens and at the top of it there was a handh hold and so I walked to the pole this beautiful garden and I looked up and then I was told Ascend and I said how am I going to get there and then an angel picked me up all the way to that handhold and I gripped onto that handhold and then I woke up holding on to that handhold so I told the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam what happened the prophet Sall alaihi wasallam said he said that this Garden is the garden of Islam this pole is the pole of Islam and he says ask for that handhold it is the trustworthy handhold that Allah subhana wa T talks about in the Quran it is and he said you're going to be upon Islam until you die you're not just a Rabbi who got caught in the moment no no you're going to become a scholar of Islam you will remain on Islam until you die Subhan Allah the opposite equation you have a man that tried to force his kids to become Muslim and you have a rabbi who had every reason not to become Muslim from a worldly perspective who saw through all of it who embraced Islam and became one of the greatest Scholars of Islam Allah subhana tala speaks to this reality of the truth speaking for itself why is is it oh people of Mecca Allah subh lectures the people of Mecca and says what is wrong with you all consider that this may be from Allah subhana wa ta'ala and a witness from the children of is has embraced it and he believed and you had Pride what's wrong with you all this is your own brother this is your tribesman you know his character sallallahu alaihi wasallam you knew him for all of these years you should have been the first to recognize the truthfulness of this man sallallah alaihi wasallam but you disbelieved you had Pride why what happened to you what got in the way whereas this man all the way in Medina a Jewish rabbi who has everything to lose in terms of position immediately says this is the truth what's wrong with you a man comes all the way from Persia escaping the chains of his father escaping death goes around the whole world to end up being enslaved over 13 times until he's in Medina to embrace the prophet s wasallam Sal what's your problem that you can't see this man you can't understand the truth that's in front of you here's the Quran recited from afar and here's about Al wasallam never actually meets him face to face but falls into tears recognizing the truth and says had I not been in the situation of Kingdom I would have gone to him sallallahu alaihi wasallam so I could carry his sandals for him why is it that he recognizes and you can't recognize is the problem with the truth or is the problem with the barriers that you have put between you and the truth the barrier of tribalism the barrier of wealth the barrier of power the barrier of ego is the problem with the message of the Prophet s alaihi wasallam or is the problem with the recipient or the intended recipient of the message and Allah is saying you are blinded by your own Idols you are blinded by your own tribalism you are blinded by your miscalculations the tribalism is getting in the way of something so obvious to you something so self-explanatory now let's bring it back to this Ayah there is no compulsion in religion the truth does not need to be forced down anyone's throat truth has been made clear from falsehood there are different words for truth in the Quran there is guidance so there is guidance and being astray there is truth and falsehood and there's clear guidance and clearly being lost and the scholars mentioned that of the beauty of this is that arush is the most obvious manifestation of Truth it is when a person clearly is acting upon rightful guidance when their path has clearly been laid out for them and they are doing all of these things with Divine guidance and divine planning behind them and achieving the most beautiful of realities is that a person has been guided in regards to their actions not just in regards to their knowledge they get it Allah subhana wa tala is moving them in directions Rashad means that you look at a person who's guided and you say that person is on to something may Allah subhana T give them victory is when even a person who is full of the most garbage Zionist influence and propaganda can look at them and admire them if they're honest with themselves and say what do they have what is that a Rashad is the obvious fulfillment and purpose of Truth Rashad was how the companions carried themselves when they went when they went to other lands that other people looked at them and said wow they're on to something Malcolm was asked this question about how Islam conquers and he said Islam and I quote Islam has made inroads into countries it never conquered it just entered and then spiritually conquered cuz the proof was in the pudding the proof was in the manifestation you looked at the Muslims and you said there's something there they're on to something is that clear guidance is the clearest form of Dal the clearest form of being astray meaning you can see the example of someone who clearly has no purpose no Integrity no principles no fulfillments no real life the difference between the living and the dead it is clear as night and day when you look at the output the people of are so different from the people of it's obvious and Allah says it is already been made clear the evidence has been laid bare and the output of that evidence has been made laid be as well the people they represent it as well you can see the manifestation of both of those two realities so those who disbelieve in all of that which has been set up as a partner besides Allah subh believe in Allah they are holding on to that trustworthy hand there is absolutely nothing that will come in between them and that trustworthy handhold the truth is compelling the truth is beautiful the truth is self-explanatory you don't need anything more except to look at it so the question is why do people stray so far away from the truth and this is where the Quran also gives the explanation you can't force someone who doesn't want to believe to believe because you can't tell someone how beautiful the sky is if they insist on closing their eyes I can't help you if you don't want to see it I can't make you see it and Allah subhana T says that it goes back to being a matter of the heart they said our hearts are wrapped we're not interested in hearing what you have to say can you imagine Abdullah Sal sitting in the Masjid of the Prophet Salli wasallam for n whole years listening to hisas and still not embracing Islam not only still not embracing Islam still wanting to undermine him at every single corner what's the difference between the story of Abdullah Sal sitting in the masz of the Prophet s alaihi wasallam for almost a decade and dying a disbeliever a malicious disbeliever a hypocrite and who was a hostile Chief to the prophet sallallah alaihi wasallam but he sat in the Masid for 3 days and said okay I get it now I want to become Muslim what's the difference between the two you have to want the truth for it to be granted to you that is actually of the beauty of guidance is that when Allah subhana T says that you will not be guided except that he permits it guidance is too valuable for Allah subhana T to force it on you you have to at least Express to Allah subhana wa tala a willingness to be guided a desire to see the truth then Allah subhana wa tala will open your heart to the truth those who seek guidance Allah will increase them in guidance Allah will open those Pathways but at the bare minimum you have to want it Allah says when they turned away Allah turned their hearts away Allah is not going to force it on you you don't want it you don't have to have it but the truth will still stand clear as night and day the evidences will be laid bare the beauty will still shine and you will not be able to cover it no matter what so what happens there are people that just don't want to see it Allah diagnoses it another way there are people that have purchased misguidance with guidance Allah gave you the currency of guidance and you would you bought error instead I want you to think about this dear brothers and sisters in my reality I see people who see the beauty of Islam who see the beauty of what the prophet sallai wasallam has brought forward who see the beauty of living a lifestyle in accordance with the lifestyle of the Prophet Sall alaihi wasallam coming from abs absolutely contradictory backgrounds and then you see someone who had Islam given to them from the day that they were born their parents taught them how to read Quran their parents taught them how to pray and you purchase misguidance with guidance let me take this away and let me go buy this instead why do you not see the value of what's been given to you there are also those and this is what the scholars mention of the beauty Subhan Allah of how Allah mentions sometimes is that there's a difference between purchasing misguidance and there's also a person who's been bought so let's come down to islamophobia and Israel let's talk about the blinders that are on people's eyes let's talk about a world in which people can sell every single moral fiber that has been bestowed upon them to purchase error you want to talk about those who have been bought by falsehood look at every single politician in the United States that's been purchased by APAC that is called being bought by falsehood a person who has their own children at home and you know what they run home and I guarantee you that some of them if not all of them genuinely love their children and genuinely cry when their kids fall down and get a cut on them or when they have to go to the hospital or when they die but have absolutely no issue looking into a camera and saying I don't care about the kids of Gazza those children don't matter to me those children hold no value to me those are the people have been bought out purchased by lies purchased by propag Ganda become mouthpieces of the greatest forms of evil that we have ever witnessed in our lives these are not just the mouthpieces of the propaganda that we see today and you wonder as you see otherwise decent human beings justifying genocide across your screen but it's people that sell their souls literally to industries of bed industries of falsehood whether it's political or cultural or social or religious and you wonder wow how did otherwise decent human being become so evil become so sick because for some they've been purchased by falsehood now when it comes to festine when it comes to Palestine and Islam you think of everything that the islamophobia industry has put forward to try to demonize Islam to try to vilify the Muslim Community and despite all all of that we cannot keep up with the amount of people that are embracing Islam it is absolutely stunning to see how many people can see through all of that the billions and billions and billions of dollars that say don't even consider this to be an acceptable religion to be an acceptable way of life don't even approach the idea of it possibly being truth yet somehow they're becoming the world's best Muslims the people of Gazza are supposed to be humiliated on camera as they are dying yet they are inspiring spiritual life around the world despite every single form of propaganda employed the tools of propaganda employed against the Palestinian people and Islam which nurtures the Palestinian people and nurtures their resistance to this tyranny despite all of that people are coming to to see the truth of Islam people are coming to see the truth of Palestine now here's the thing the truth eventually shines it eventually breaks through the layers of falsehood for those who are seeking Truth for those who want to open their eyes for the Abdullah salams of the world today that despite having every reason to not believe are sincere in their Pursuit Of Truth and truthful narrative of the truth of faith and the truth of politics of the truth of the way that the world works and they manag to peel back those layers and that frustrates the purveyors of falsehood so what do they do they lie more the lies get more outrageous and then the suppression of the truth becomes more outrageous and you know what I say this to us as Muslims that we have to maintain the moral High Ground at all times we don't need to lie we don't to lie about 40 babies being cooked in ovens we have thousands of babies that have been cooked on your screens we don't need to lie to you about what actually is happening in regards to the Palestinian people we don't need to lie to you about history let history speak for itself the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam held the moral High Ground in regards to being a Muslim they are not our teachers the messenger of allahi was refused to employ the same tactics against him that they employed against them he refused to apply the same tactics against them that they applied against him think if the prophet Salli wasallam divulg some of the secrets of Abu jahal and Abu laab some of the secrets of um cuz wasn't he the Secret Keeper sallallahu alaihi wasallam wasn't he Al think about how many times ABAB or Abu Jal and these people confided in the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam with something deeply personal to them the prophet s wasam didn't get nasty with them no no we don't do that imagine if the prophet Propet s Ali wasallam took the bodies of Abu J and and he cut them up and he put them up and did crucified them on sticks to send a message to the meccans don't try this again instead the prophet s was freed their children and kept his hand open to them and his heart open to them we're not like you the truth doesn't need falsehood our message is too pure to be tainted by what contradicts it this is true about Islam this this is true about Palestine this is true about Gazza this is true about truthful narratives let the truth speak for itself and make sure that you represent it truthfully oh you who believe be mindful of Allah and be with the truthful let the way that you carry yourself in business and your interactions and the way that you speak be truthful show that nobility and that dignity do not become foul like they are foul don't lie lie the way that they lie don't resort to their tactics and you know what ends up happening Subhan Allah in one of the conversations between and Abu sufyan before Abu sufyan became Muslim is look at the people are they growing or are they decreasing despite all of this persecution are the number of followers growing or are they decreasing and Abu sufyan had to admit despite being at that time the biggest islamophobe possibly alive that they keep on increasing despite our persecution they keep growing in number and he said that's the sweetness of faith it enters into the heart and then nothing can suppress it you can't do anything about it there are more people in the world saying Muhammed than ever before there are more people in the world saying free Palestine than ever before they are so afraid that they're trying to criminalize words and slogans redefy them misinterpret them disperse suppress because nothing is working because you can't keep putting lipstick on a genocide you can't put lipstick on a paride you can't lie about the prophet Sall alaihi wasallam this long eventually people will actually read about him you can't tell them what's in the Quran this long eventually people will check out the book themselves you can't keep lying and expect the lies to hold eventually they will fault and Allah subhana wa T will make sure that the truth Rises once again as it always does Century after Century Time After Time and I want to leave you with one last message you know Orwell said something that was very profound he said the further that a society drifts away from truth the more it hates those who speak it the further a society drifts away from truth the more it hates those who speak it if you wonder why there's so much suppression of Islam and the Muslim Community in different parts of the world that is a sign of the power of Islam if you wonder why there's a suppression of the message of Palestine around the world that is a sign of the m message of Palestine and you can see by the way Theon PES of the world and the people that speak from the legions of apartheid against apartheid and say that our history is constructed upon falsehood and oppression and occupation thank God you don't see many Palestinians or Muslims that are saying yes they have no right to this land they have no right to defend themselves they have no right to this they have no right to that although unfortunately we do live in a world where probably of the most disgusting creatures in the world is a Muslim Zionist and those are two very contradictory words they exist and you have anti-zionist Jews people that have seen the falsehood of the narrative that was given to them and that are discovering the truth the point is dear brothers and sisters cling to the truth and imagine yourself in this world with the ideologies the political the social the cultural ideologies imagine yourself like Abdullah Salam holding on to holding on to that trustworthy handhold when Islam becomes unpopular
