When Allah takes Grasp of the Oppressor | Shaykh Dr. Yasir Qadhi | Khatira

[Music] [Applause] m [Music] of the younger generation the sahaba are generally divided into two generations the earlier and the later and the later are those that lived after the 40th year of the hijrah of the greatest of them was abdullahi bin umar the son of ramadan and he fled the fiten that were taking place and he sought refuge in mecca he didn't participate in any of the civil wars and he was a very pious person always doing tawaf and praying and fasting so he would do tawaf regularly it is reported that once he was doing tawaf and his students were around him and there's civil war going on people are dying people are being killed and he said looking at the kaaba ma'am he's praising the ka'ba how glorious are you how majestic are you how sacred are you how holy are you he's in awe doing tawaf around the kaaba his students are listening to him and this is a time of civil war and bloodshed and then he says but the life of one muslim is more sacred and precious in the eyes of allah than you one believer his life is more precious in the eyes of allah than you now some of us hear this and we are shocked what do you mean the kaaba versus the believer but this is what ibn umar is saying and where is he getting this from from the quran in sunnah what does allah say in the quran whoever kills one person it is as if he has destroyed all of mankind all of mankind we prescribe to the children of israel ironically the verse is about the children of israel allah revealed to them that whoever kills one soul it is the equivalent of killing all of mankind and our prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam said as reported in the hadith the annihilation of this entire world is easier for allah than the shedding of blood of one believer if this world were to just be gone it's not here it is easier it's less of a crime meaning if the world didn't exist if all of this just woof disappeared vanished it is lesser of an issue in the eyes of allah than killing one innocent believer and our prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam warned against the sin of killing and shedding blood he said on the day of judgment the first thing that a person will be asked about is the blood that he shed of anybody else and he said that a man there's always going to be leeway for him there's some room insha'allah he'll be forgiven as long as he doesn't shed blood that he wasn't allowed to shed as long as his personal sins between you and allah be hopeful shall be hopeful any personal sin it's not a license but it's like okay there's hope but when does the door of hope almost shut down if not completely shut when innocent blood is shed a man came to ibn abbas the cousin of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam and he said o ibn abbas will allah accept the tawba of a murderer now pause here you know in this early phrase you know still developments are happening different opinions are there some of these opinions were a little bit on the left or right of the spectrum and they get left out and they simply reported at this stage ibn abbas and is famously known from him he had a position that later on was modified meaning he doesn't it's not something that is mainstream anymore but at that early stage the development is still happening so ibn abbas said wait what what did you say motherhood repeat your question so he said hello will allah ever accept a murderer's tawba he said what did you say he said three times say it again say it again and then he snorted in contempt what are you talking about do you know what i heard the prophet saw say even abbas by the way had the fatwa that the two unforgivable sins are shirk and murder that was his father this position is now not mainstream as you know the majority of sahaba and later they said if a a murder repents insha allah there's also forgiveness he makes kefara but ibn abbas had the fatwa and we're going to hear it now that the murderer has no tauba he said what did you say tawba for the qatar for the murder i heard the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam say that the one who was murdered will be resurrected headless he will be carrying his head in his own hands the blood is going to be pouring out dumping out and he will raise his head to allah and say oh allah so and so kill me oh allah so and so kill me and he will proceed until he reaches the throne of allah and allah azzawajal will respond to him ibn abba said what tawbah how can there be tawba for the qatar and this is based on a verse of the quran as well by the way this is hadith muhammad that he heard the prophet saw him say this is based on the quran as well that whoever kills me a muslim a a mint soul he shall be in the word khalid is used in the quran it's only used for two sins shirk and also once it is used for murder by the way sunnah later on said allah didn't say khalid the word is not there khalidan could also made a very long time that's the technical you know the theological way out nonetheless ibn abbas held the view there is no the one who does murder that's it it's gone now why am i mentioning all of this we see what is happening in the land of palestine we see what is happening with innocent souls abria children women we see what is happening of buildings collapse and bombs falling one of the most highest concentrated places on earth is the open-air prison that they call the open-air prison one of the highest concentrations and we see what is happening over there wallahi one side is sad traumatized but i'm gonna say something don't misunderstand me one side of me is extremely elated why because allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala will never allow such blatant such blatant injustice to flourish it is impossible in the sunnah of allah that innocent lives are taken children are killed and nothing happens so insha'allah in sha allah this is the beginning of the end this is the beginning of the end the level of brutality the level of desperation the level of the level of jabaru that we are seeing and even from this entity we did not expect it and we are seeing it in sha allah there is light at the end of the tunnel our prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam said in allah allah allah sometimes allows some leeway to the volume hill means gives him some time he lets him go either when allah holds on to him this is what suratul said means the grasp of course it means you're the power of allah when allah wants to grasp when allah wants to take his hand and take devon him who can possibly be safe from that our prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam said allah might give laxity to the lord for a period of time but when he holds on to him not if when it's not a possibility it's not a maybe no when the is hold and held account he will never let him go lem yuf never going to be able to escape the grasp and this is exactly what i recited in the first verse in the first raqqa as well that allah said and this was revealed when the muslims were being persecuted and the muslims were being killed and they saw with their own eyes sahabah being torn apart ammar and sumayyah being killed in front of their eyes bilal being dragged in the streets of mecca when they were seeing this what did allah reveal surat ibrahim i recited it was at his pinnacle don't ever think that allah is not aware of what the volume is doing this ayah was revealed in the context of adam in the context of persecution in the context of death and fitnah and facade never ever think that allah is not aware of what the valium do in allah is letting them allah is going to take care of them but maybe not in your time frame but allah has a time frame and if this dunya we see it alhamdulillah if we don't see it in this dunya then for sure for sure on the day of judgment go read the tafseer of these verses end of ibrahim allah describes the terrified state of the valley moon their eyes are glazed their hearts are empty their chests are in the throat they're looking in panic they don't know what to do the vivid imagery that is given is for the vulnerable how could you have done this you lived in this world and you saw the fate of those before you didn't you pay attention allah spoke to the quraish you were here you saw what happened to those people why didn't you pay attention and as for this particular home they don't even need to see outside of their own home to see what happens to tyrants and what happens to those who reject allah they don't even need to look at outside history their own history is enough of a lesson if they only benefited and learn but they have turned a blind eye and they have done to innocence what others did to them at a time when they might have been innocent and they have taken on the tactics and the kibbur and the brutality of the very people whom they said never again now many academics and many people are drawing comparisons with exactly what this poem is doing with what happened to them 18 90 years ago the tactics are the same but the sides have flipped and just like that went into oblivion so to allah will not allow any home based upon injustice to flourish so brothers and sisters wallahi our hearts are very very perturbed and they should be but in sha allah we also have a good sign and a good news that this level of jabaru this level of kibr this level of evil this level of allah azzawajal will not allow for it to flourish our prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam said that fear the dua of the one who is oppressed fear the dua of the muslim the innocent woman who has lost child after child and then she comes and says alhamdulillah allah blessed my children to be shaheed the father who died who who sees his child die and he says allah has chosen him instead of me to be the shaheed that is what you call iman these are a people whose iman doesn't have to be tested it has been shown we see it we see the reality of iman what will these tyrants do when that mother raises her hands and says what will the tyrants do when that father that 80 year old man raises his hands and says ya i lost four children and my wife my entire life is all gone in front of my eyes and i still thank you for all that you have given me but ya'll take care of those tyrants and volumes wallahi the greatest superpower on earth will be powerless when the above allah comes down no missile drone no star wars program no nuclear force can protect against allah when allah says so our job brothers and sisters our job what can we do here make dua raise awareness but always remember that inshallah will never flourish and we're going to see the end of tyranny and injustice keep on repeating this verse have iman and tawakkul have navan in allah and then ask allah for forgiveness for our own incapacities and incapabilities ask allah azzawajal that he doesn't call us to task and he doesn't call put upon us a burden more than what we can bear we ask allah azzawajal to protect our brothers and sisters in batur we ask allah azzawajal to forgive their and accept their shahada we ask allah azza to help those that are striving in that region and protecting the religion of islam we ask allah azza to give them and to give them kuwa to give them to give them courage we ask allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to give sabar to those who have lost and to those who are struggling we ask allah azzawajal to show us through them there is of islam and we ask allah azzawajal to take care of the tyrants to take care of the oppressors we ask allah the moon kitab the one who revealed the books the one in who's the whole dominion is in his hands the one who sent down the angels for better the one who sends down jibreel to help the messengers we ask allah the rub of the thrones we ask to show us the power and the of how he can deal with those who oppose him ya rabb ya rab you are our mawlana we have no mawlana other than you ya rabb you are the one who takes care of the poor and the weak and the oppressed we plead to you and beg to you ya rab that show us in them the power and strength and give sakina and rahma and shower upon the believers your mercy may allah allow all of us to do that which is good and useful and may allah azzawajal make us instruments of her and barakah and may allah azzawajal protect us from ever helping the tyrant and oppressor from ever legitimizing the rule of the tyrant and oppressor we ask allah for the israe of this world and the akhirah alhamdulillah you
