انصاره وعوانه أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والتكون منكم قمة يدعونا إلى الخير ويأمرونا بالمعروف وينهون عن المنكري وأولئك هم المفلحون The month of Ramadan should not be of benefit only to us as Muslims This benefit has to spread to other communities and other religions and to the non-Muslims During these difficult times that we are experiencing have a big responsibility and this responsibility is to introduce our religion the core of our faith and our religion to others I traveled a few weeks ago in several European countries and each time I go to these countries and here in America and Canada I realize that people are very suspicious and skeptical about Islam and Muslims to be honest with you they don't have good ideas and you don't blame them when there is a concert in Manchester people are partying during their time and someone comes and he calls his mother two hours before he tells his mother mom forgive me if I have done something bad to you and then he kills 22 people the same person look at the brainwashing look how some Muslims are outdated and crazy and insane someone a young person calls his mother two hours before is his mother if I have done something bad to you please forgive me and then he goes and he kills 22 people this is the type of Islam that being promoted by Wahhabism by Wahhabism in many countries so I don't blame Europeans and Americans when they despise Muslims they don't like them in their neighborhoods we tried to purchase this building and we gave full offer 2.2 million dollar they said no, no for a mosque they can make it night club anything but they said no to a mosque you don't blame them there is a reason for this prejudice prejudice does not come from vacuum because they see, they watch on television when Muslims do not kill others non-Muslims they start killing themselves destroying their cities their towns their places of worship we used to hear 50 years ago that and non-Muslim bombs a mosque today a Muslim a worshiper goes inside a mosque and destroys the mosque with the worshippers but we have to do something about that we are not a government neither a powerful agency nor a CNN or media outlet we are Muslims and we have to be responsible in this Slamadan share the beauty of your Islam and the truth about your Islam the forgiveness of Islam the mercy of Islam the compassion, the love of your faith share it with your neighbors if you can afford to invite them to iftar to your house that's a good thing sometimes we just say hi to the neighbors only when we take the trash cans outside and they are taking it that's the only opportunity this time let's do something else and tell them come and share and try to speak about Slamadan open up to them let them see the truth about you you are not hiding something so yes I am sorry for what is happening but I am not responsible there are some thugs who usurp the wealth of our Ummah and they sit with another person who goes from here just to milk them he milked them 480 billion dollars in one day 480 billion dollars last Saturday I was visiting some Saudi students from the eastern province who graduated from Chico State University they invited me they said say it they cut our salaries to half 50% rather than giving this money to their students to their children to excel, to study, to thrive to prosper they give it to someone whose business and his talent is just to milk people this is not our own problem but we have to speak about it we have to enlighten and educate people speak about it day and night day and night say it to your neighbors let them see what is happening within Islam let them see that those political leaders are only murderers and thugs they are not working for their nations and for their people they are working for their seeds and thrones to stay in power longer and longer and longer so let's share the beauty of Ramadan if we can invite them to our Masajid we must in this Ramadan I am going to visit many synagogues and churches and the police department and the mail office to speak this is what I can do I can't afford more than that what I can afford is to tell them this is not in the name of my religion what is happening in Manchester and other places this is the bombing terrorism this does not represent the true spirit of our Prophet and Ahlul Bayt this is not the spirit of this book these are not the teachings of our book so let's share let's share your iftar invite them if you can't invite them to your house bring them to the Masjid and tell us here tell the administration that we have guests so we can take care of them many people are going to visit us so we can take care of them it's the sheriff of Orange County she said she wants to visit our Masjid this season we welcome her and we welcome all the neighbors we have to be open we have to share the beauty and piety of Ramadan the spirit of Ramadan with others this is the least we can do for our Islam and for our America the least so do not I want to focus on my Ramadan I have nothing to do with neighbors and community members no please open up please reach out one of the important messages of Ramadan is to reach out to others and show them the goodness of your faith invite them to iftar invite them to your house invite them to your local Masjid bring them here we can't change the whole world that we can change a few people which is enough good enough and I invite you to be here if you have not participated in the past now it is the season that we go to the Masjid more and more to strengthen to strengthen the spirit of community and togetherness here we have to hold back hold each others back in America we have to support each other and I take this opportunity to call upon our Sunni brothers and sisters and friends and neighbors we open our hearts to you anytime you want to come here this is feel free this is your Masjid day one when we established this I said this Masjid is not only for Shi'a not only for Iranians not only for Arabs this Masjid is for all the humans even if they are Christians and non-Muslims they are welcome to come here and they should feel free and honored and welcomed and respected when they come to the house of God for this house does not belong to a person or a group وَأَنْ لَنْ مَسَاجِدَ بِاللَّهِ the true Masjid belongs to God and all the people also belong to God so they have they have this ownership and every temple and every Masjid they should have this sense of belonging and sense of honorship I was going to recite the khutbah of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم just two lines of this khutbah in Ramadan فسأل الله ربكم بنياة صادقة take advantage of this month and ask your Lord with true intentions نياة صادقة وقولون بالطاهر a pure heart وفضلكم لصيامه واتي لا واتي كتابه so you are able to fast from tomorrow saturday until the end of the month you fast this month and you recite the book of God فَإِنَّ الشَّقِي the misfortune is the one who is he فَإِنَّ الشَّقِي من حُرِ مَبُفْرَانَ اللَّهِ فِيَهَا الَّشَّقِي the real loser the real person who is unfortunate is the one who does not receive God's forgiveness by the end of this month so we have to strive to be inshallah in the list of those who have received Allah's mercy and Allah's pardon and Allah's forgiveness in this month اللهم اخبر المؤمنين والمؤمنات والمسلمين والمسلمات والأحياء منهم والأموات تابع لهم بيننا أموات
