 اللهم سبحانه وتعالى في القرآن قد لنا احد من الهيئات الخاصة عن كيف يجب أن نبحث عن الناس الإنسان اللهم قلت لنا أننا سنكون جميعا من one soul خلقكم من نفس واحدة وخلق منها زوجة اللهم سبحانه وتعالى قلت لنا من one soul وقلت لنا من it the soul its mate, husband or wife The Prophet ﷺ said كلكم من آدم وآدم من تراب that all of you are from the lineage of Adam and Adam comes from the dust or the clay of the earth and in his حجة الودع the Prophet ﷺ also emphasized that there is no difference between an Arab and an non-Arab between a white person and a black person or between a black person and a white person so the standard that was set for us till today even with all of what we call this international law our structure has yet to meet the standard that Allah سبحانه وتعالى and the Prophet ﷺ said and I know both international law, body and its implementation more importantly one of the most untenable standards of how we treat the refugees and immigrants has been set in Medina and I challenge anyone who looks at history or even looks in the contemporary period today which we sometimes look at ourselves in the mirror and gets mitten by thinking that we look nice and so advanced but we have not yet to achieve even a percentage of what was achieved in Medina in dealing with the refugee and the immigrants the Prophet ﷺ was an immigrant and a refugee let me emphasize this the Prophet ﷺ was an immigrant and a refugee do you remember the Prophet ﷺ escaped out of Mecca the Quraish asked and for each of the tribe of Quraish to nominate one individual assassin to assassinate the Prophet ﷺ in Mecca so he would not get out that's why Ali ﷺ slept in his bed that's why him and Abu Bakr took a different route and escaped out of Mecca and went into the cave to hide so the assassins would not actually catch them to kill them so he was a refugee escaping persecution and an immigrant migrating from Mecca to Medina more importantly that we have also two migration to Abasinia so the first time that Muslims practiced Islam was freely in Africa not in Mecca not in Medina just let that sing for you so what happened in Medina for us to understand the refugees and immigrants because again refugees and immigrants because refugees are escaping immigrants they could migrate out of their own volition and in the Mecca and Medina there are some that migrated on their own volition and there are some that had to escape the Prophet ﷺ and Abu Bakr had to escape so they are refugees and immigrants into Medina so the immigrants and refugees come to Medina there is no money with them they left Quraish actually took all their property so if you want to leave you cannot take anything with you so you cannot leave with any of your property some their families held them up Ashley put them under house restrictions that they can't leave so they come to Medina at destitute no resources nothing so you're leaving a major vibrant Mecca was the center of trade at the time all caravans from north south were coming to Mecca it's very important historically because the Persians and the Byzantines had a long war that disrupted the trade routes so Mecca became a central trading station as a result of the wars between the Persians and the Byzantines so as we say in Arabic the calamity of one people for another people draw some benefits that's Allah سبحانه وتعالى حكمة it could be a war there and people in here that are not connected all of a sudden become what you call the beneficiaries of this trade so Mecca was a beneficiary of a major conflict between the Persians and the Byzantines and that's why during that period you have affluence coming into Mecca so all these major merchants Abu Bakr was a major merchant عثمان عثمان عثمان عثمان عثمان عثمان عثمان عثمان عثمان خديجة رضي الله عنه إبن she died before he migrated she was a major merchant in that merchant city that combined the spiritual center with the commercial center so what happened the prophet SAW مؤاخا مؤاخا ليس كرين ليس كرين ليس لو تصعبون صعب رجل رجل وعليا مؤاخا أخي بين المحاجرين ومعنصار you give 50% of what you have as أنصار to take on a محاجر I challenge anyone today in the 20th century where we have been able to go to Mars but we're unable to go to hearts today to show me any instance of such a brotherhood that has been formed between a complete foreign group coming in and a group that is welcoming them and doing مؤاخا splitting everything that they have why because they were not located in the material not located in the material the material is comes and goes and anyone that things that wealth is lasting they just need to look at their own just 10 years and see where they are at nothing lasts now I say this because the crisis in Ukraine have rare some ugly type of discourse of people that really need to wake up and become as advanced as people of Medina literally they need to be advanced as the people of Medina and they also need to read the Quran to understand how Muslims in as they say that oh you want to go back to Islam of the stone age man no no no we want to take you today from the stone age thinking that you're still locked in to understand what people in the desert knew much better than what you know today so you have this person from you know ABC no CBS Charlie Degada on air from Kiev he says quote this is this isn't a place with all due respect like Iraq or Afghanistan this has been this has seen conflict raging for decades you know this is a relatively civilized relatively European now this is a kicker he says I have to choose those words carefully too civilized city where you wouldn't expect that or hope that is going on to happen so this is a person choosing his words carefully I was wondering if he's like in the dinner table and he's not choosing his words carefully what would he say this is like live TV and he's speaking about this refugee versus others another one Lucy Watson's report from ITV International TV she said quote the unthinkable has happened this is not a developing third world nation this is Europe again this distinction that is being made between what happens in here versus what happens other places another person this is also from الجزيرة a person who actually works with the people that are supposedly different he says quote on الجزيرة he says what's compelling is just look at them the way they are dressed these are prosperous I am looted to use the expression middle class people these are not obviously refugees looking to get away from areas in the Middle East that are still in a big war big state of war these are not people trying to get away from areas in North Africa they look like any European family that you would lie you would live next door to another person who's actually from the British daily telegraph he says these are high quality immigrants versus the low quality immigrants meaning the low quality are the Syrians the Iraqis the Afghans the Libyans in North Africa and again one has to give credit to Germany Germany actually said bring us a million of the refugees from Syria and other places because many of them were doctors teachers bureaucrats and so on so again you could give credit that they're smart and know the quality versus what I consider to be a person that does not then know their head from their tail so again high quality immigration now the Bulgarian Prime Minister Carol Pitkov says these are not the refugees we're used to these people are Europeans these people they are intelligent they are educated people this is not the refugees we the way we have been used to people we are not sure about their identity people with unclear pasts who could have been even terrorists right so again this this course goes on and on in the Quran in Chapter 9 during even at the moment of the Prophet SAW having conflict with the Quraysh right the Quran tells them and if anyone of the Mushriqeen ask for your protection give them protection until they hear the word of Allah and then send them to their to their place of safety this is the middle of a war Allah is instructing the Prophet SAW if a Mushriq comes to seek protection you give them protection even at the time of war so this we don't want to harb on this is that why is it that when we deal with human needs we need to resort to a dumbing down view of trying to distinguish between one human being and one and another human being every human being is deserved deserving to have recognition and to have the dignity that Allah has endowed in them there is no difference between a Syrian refugee an Afghan refugee an Iraqi refugee a Palestinian Somali a Chari and a Ukrainian refugee you made the distinctions not us you use racism to try to make distinctions not us now I tend to actually take students to Europe to study immigration and refugees and I take them to the different places where today today not yesterday today as Europe is opening its arms to three million Ukrainian refugees rightly so there are Syrian refugees that are rotting in camps in Spain there is Afghan refugees that are rotting in camps in Greece there is Iraqi refugees sleeping under the trains in Paris there are refugees that are in Belgium unable to get basic services today not yesterday today that this is taking place thousands upon thousands just few weeks back we were all got to see and witness in the English Channel refugees attempting to cross the English Channel and drowning in the English Channel and yet boats not coming out to help them you know there is a law right now and in Europe there is a law that any fisherman that goes out to help any of these refugees that are using boats to cross the Mediterranean or English Channel if they help that refugee group they are to be fined and face prison sentence that is today and again I challenge anyone to look at the history of Islam and find any law again we could deal with people what you call an individual who might express reason but I want to say state law because how you judge a society what laws are in the books I had a challenge for you to find any law on the Muslim books from history you take it from Spain to North Africa you take it from the Umayyad from the Abbasid from the Saljuks from every group show me one law said to fishermen that you can't go out and help even helping some of the Crusaders who were their ships were started that the Muslims went out to help them if you don't believe it just look at when the Crusaders got stuck in Egypt during الملك الصالح the Egyptians because they were stuck in the mud they sent out bread to them while they were fighting them that's our history even when we were in the middle of a conflict we understood the difference between dignified treatment of human being versus undignified treatment of human beings so what we need is not that we're not feeling some of the concerns for the Ukrainians but sometimes the double standards that are applied and speaking to us in three sides of the mere mouth telling us about civilization while treating much of the Muslim world in uncivilized way and then telling us what you call all these niceties I'm no longer accepting the niceties as a basis for treatment I want to see the action and to be consistent now lastly I want to say something about also another policy in the European Union for refugee again they intervened in the Muslim world destroyed Libya right intervened in Iraq intervened in Syria intervened in Sudan intervened in Afghanistan for 20 years and 10 years before that destroyed Iraq right and then they say why can't you all get along no we get along but you have to actually ask the question we are here because you were there not the other way around we did not get into the ships until when the ships came so there's a law again that European Union have passed that if you land on a first country so if you arrive in Greece you arrive in Spain if you arrive in Malta if you arrive in any of the coastal areas you have to be fingerprinted so they take your fingerprint but you say oh that's nice because you want to keep tab on everybody now you notice that people are moving around from Ukraine nobody's taking any fingerprints whatsoever because the fingerprints is only one type of people this requirement is to prevent the immigrants and refugees from moving beyond their point of entry so you get stuck in there thus forcing Spain, Italy, Greece Malta to actually restrict the movement of these refugees then therefore putting pressure on these government to actually be far more antagonistic toward the refugees so the refugees right now and immigrants what they do after they get fingerprinted they take sandpaper you know sandpaper that used for wood and they actually scratch their fingers fingerprint they scratch their fingerprint this is the most distinctive aspect of the human being that Allah says that we will make you back again after your death and we will reform back your fingerprint the most distinctive aspect of every human being so people scratch their fingerprint in order once they leave if they get caught in other country in France in England and so on when they take their fingerprint they are no longer seen and therefore they cannot be identified so you have to erase your human being distinctive characters in order to be actually inter into being treated as a human that's the level of erasure that the human being is going through our brothers and sisters actually I saw them I went to them, talked to them I see them in various places you go down to southern France 7000 refugees right there at Calais in a camp that is called the jungle you see them under the trains in Paris sleeping without any aid without any support these are Afghans, Palestinians, Syrians Iraqis, Burmese, Libyans Sudanese, Somalis you see them there and nobody cares about them what adds insult to injury for me today is the Muslim countries all of a sudden they want to take Ukrainian refugees some Muslim countries are sending that want to take Ukrainian refugees and they themselves have Syrian refugees Iraqi refugees Somali refugees not allowed to work in their own country it's the level of hypocrisy that even the devil will actually excuse himself from getting into the conversation really we have reached such a level right as the poet says مابي جرحن بميطن إيلا مو that a wound for a dead body no longer actually cause any pain that's basically what we are right now to see that this type of contradictions أقول قولي هذا واستغفر الله ليه لكم واستغفره الحمد لله نحمده ونستعينه به ونستغفره ونتوبه ليه وأشهد أن لا إله إلا الله أشهد أن محمدا عبده ورسوله أرسله بالهدى ودين الحق ليظهره على الدين كله ولو كريه المشركون so these are difficult moments but calamities actually can point into the contradictions and makes you clear on what is right and what is wrong and there is the right is right and the wrong is wrong what is being done is wrong what is how people are treated is wrong the double standard is wrong and just it's unforgivable we just cannot at least we could absolve ourselves of Allah I'm able to speak about it I'll speak I'm getting I get angry about it because that's the only way I can express myself if I don't get angry it means I have a dead heart I don't have a dead heart I feel the pain and suffering every person I see have a mother a daughter a sister a cousin a relative a wife has a husband a family and they're just being left without any support without any cover and the world is basically numb and really just put them as a disposable commodity we ask Allah سبحانه وتعالى to make us among from those who actually see the wrong speak to it because that's part of our sunnah whoever see from among you something wrong let them stop it by by their hand if they can let them speak up against it if not then test it in your heart and that is the weakest of faith so in all these circumstances at least do something that will have an impact the last thing I want to ask this is just make a tangent I'm doing a survey on Muslims in the tech industry because there is Islamophobia in the tech industry and if you are able to take the survey this is important for us if you work in the tech industry we need the survey and the data because Muslims even in the tech industry are facing double standards so you post something relative to a Muslim cause you immediately are removed from the platform or your you know your page is locked even as an employee inside the company you speak about issues of concern actually your path or moving up is not there so we have many of these cases we met with Meta with Facebook Uber and so on so in Uber many like services will drop just based on their name so you get the service that your name is Muslim you get a higher rate of drop of service rather than other so I urge you just to take this if you are able and take and fill the survey إن شاء الله أقول قولي هذا أستغفر الله لي ولكم تستغفروا إن الله وملايكة يصلون على النبي يا يولدين أأمن وصلوا عليه وسلموا تسليمة اللهم يصلي على سيدنا محمد وعلى آل سيدنا محمد كما صليت على سيدنا إبراهيم وعلى آل سيدنا إبراهيم في العالمين إنك حميد

تباركت ربنا وتعاليت ربنا ردنا الإسلام ردا جميلة ربنا ردنا الإسلام ردا جميلة ربنا ردنا الإسلام ردا جميلة اللهم يمقلب القلوب ثبت قلوبنا على طاعتك اللهم أرنا الحق حقا ورزقنا التباع وأرنا الباطلة باطلا
