 Allah SWT says in the Qur'an that we need to show this trust, this amanah to the heavens and the earth and the mountains, these are the great creations of Allah. Mufassirul Sayyidat, these are the maqduqat al-'Izam, these vast creations of Allah Allah SWT offered them and the ulama differ on what that means. Some say that it's a figurative sense, a figurative sense to show what it means. And others say that it has a meaning that Allah SWT knows but it should be understood like that. So Allah SWT said that He gave this amanah to the heavens and the earth and the mountains that they refused it and then ashfaqna minha ishfaq is to have like awe or fear of something and that wahmadan insan, Allah SWT says that the human being carried it, He took on this thing. And the Mufassirul Sayyidat say, ad-Dib ad-Islam say just the human being took this upon himself. And some of the Mufassirul Sayyidat say that what it means is that we had a choice in this that there was an actual choice and we chose and now we have the responsibility of that choice. But then Allah SWT says that the human being is oft oppressing, he oppresses himself and others and that he's also ignorant and this is not an ignorant, it's an ignorant that it's a hyperbolic form, in other words extremely ignorant. Larrouman jahuda. But Allah SWT says and then uses what the grammarians call them, it's not a ta'deed, in other words it's not we did it in order to but it says and the result of that of carrying this amana, right, is that we wa adnibullahum monatakina wa monatakata wa mushrikina wa mushrikata wa yatuba Allahum adal mumminina wa mumminat. In order is what we would normally but here it means the result of carrying this amana and being oppressive and ignorant is that Allah SWT will punish the hypocrites who outwardly say they're doing it but inwardly they're not doing it and the mushrikina and the mushrikat. Those who reject Tohiyebullah SWT and then Allah SWT says gafuran rahiman, he's forgiving for those who attempt to carry it and they have short time with their failures and he's merciful for those who fill it, from the awliya, the ambiyya, the shuhada, the syifthin, the salafiqin, all of those high ranked people. So the amana, they differ on what that means. Some of the ulama said the amana is all the nuwahi and the awamad that Allah has told us. In other words all those things that he's told us to do and those things that he's prohibited from, this is the trust that Allah gave. The others say that the inward there is an amana batuna which is Tohiyeb, to have a correct understanding of Allah and realize it, ma'irah, fa'ala madhu la ilaha illa Allah, know, have ma'irah that there's no God except Allah SWT and then the outward is to act in accordance with that understanding. So you have iman and a'amad and this is the amana that we've been given from Allah SWT. The Prophet ﷺ said, Alá la imana liman la amanita lahu. You have no iman if you have no trust and they're related because the word iman comes from the same word as trust. So the trust is a gift from Allah SWT and it's a covenant that Allah has given us. It's a mitha and it's a ali, it's a wavy covenant. If you renaig on the covenant that Allah has given you, then punishments come. If Allah's merciful they come in this world and that's why the Prophet ﷺ said, yu'ya adabu umma tibi adiha fi dunyaha. The punishment of my umma is with their own hands in this world. They will actually, this is how Allah inflicts punishment on the umma that He loves because they're not ruling the covenant. So He puts it in their own hands, they give each other adab. They torture each other so that they don't have to do this in the next world. Because this is the place of kameel, this is the place of qeskiyah, this is where people are supposed to be purified. Now one of the things that the angel said when Allah said, inida i don't fit abdi khaliba, the angel, and this is not ihtida, it's they're asking a question because they saw what the jinn did before the humans, if you're going to put another group of people that have free will, then they're going to shed blood and sow corruption in the earth. So the angel, the thing that troubled them was the shedding of blood and the sowing of corruption. And this is why the Prophet ﷺ said, you will have fusha with your Lord in a sahih hadith. You will have fusha with your Lord as long as you have it shed blood. On the yawm qiyamah, you will have room with your Lord as long as you haven't taken a life. The Prophet ﷺ said, that's why you're abdi kuffara, yadribu baadukun baadah. Don't be kuffar after I leave you, striking each other's necks. In other words, don't kill each other after I leave you. He asked Allah that the sword would never descend on his ummah, fighting each other. And Allah said that, and this, this is from Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, this is maqtub al-A'leenah, because the human being, if Allah suspended that then he's basically suspending free will. Because human beings, when they don't purify themselves, they can become violent and they can become extremely violent. La ilayna wa ahgil al-baadi al-meen. This ahad, this covenant doesn't, it's not given to oppressors. This is a sacred trust that Allah has given us. And this is why, if you look at our ummah right now, it's amazing. You have the marvel at the condition of the ummah. Why, why our ummah? Why? Well, look at us, look at us as an ummah, what are we doing? What have we done for this religion? And now we have people out there that are claiming to be acting on Islam, doing things that in the history of Islam nobody has ever done, even the khawaij in the early period didn't blow up too. I mean even the dead people aren't safe from these people, let alone the living. It's amazing. Ahmad Zarruq's left peace for me since 1492 when he died and nobody ever thought of going and disturbing his maqam. Imam know one of the biggest of the ulama and awliya from the aqqa, man aadani wa liyan aadani to move the house. How can you have success if it's not let alone the living, but you're attacking the greatest of the dead? It's amazing. But we have unfortunately some young people getting confused, some of them even going. I want to say something about our Prophet ﷺ, Abdullah bin Salam who was a Jewish man who became Muslim, he was rabbi in Medina, he was the most learned of the Jews in Medina. When the Prophet ﷺ came he went to see, this is the first khutba that the Prophet ﷺ gave in Medina. He went to see him and he said, this is in a termidiyya, imagine others, relatives. He said, when he saw him, aadim to anna wajahu, leza wajhakata. I knew that this man did not have the face of a liar. This is what the Arabs call firasah, you know it's the ability to see character in people's faces. And the Arabs call the face one of the names of the faces of Sa'ifah. It's like your register, it shows you, they say by 50 everybody has the face they deserve. You know, if you live a good life, people will still like looking at your face. If you live a bad life, they'll have a hard time looking at you. So this is what he said, aadim to anna wajahu, leza wajhakata. And then he said, wa samaatahu yaqul, wakata, awwala ma samaatahu yaqul. The first thing I heard him say was, ya even nas, and the nas is for everybody, not just the believer. This is humanity. Ya even nas, afshu al-salam, wa a'imu t-ba'am, wa silu al-arham, wa sallum al-layhi wa al-nasuniyya. Tadkhul al-jannahah b-salam. Oh humanity, spread peace. He begins with peace, spread peace, feed food. This is life. Life is the hierarchy of needs. Create security so that people feel safe, and then provide their basic needs, feed the hungry, and then maintain your bloodshed bond, because if you maintain your blood bond, the society will be healthy, it'll be safe, it'll be secure when people take care of their own family, because family is the foundation of civilization, it's the foundation of every society, whether it's primitive tribal societies or whether it's a complex society, family is the foundation. Take care of your families, what we now call nuclear and the extended, because the arham extends. And then ultimately, we're all from Qulkum al-Adham, wa Adham al-Turaq. So we share the Rahm of Adham al-Hawa, al-Alimu s-salam. And then he said, and give some night prayer, pray at night when others are sleeping. Aisha said, when every lover went to his beloved at night, the Prophet went to his Lord, that the jafaq noomuhum an madadihi, yad'ura Rabbuhum khawfum wa tama'ah, they get up at night from their madadihi, from their places where they're sleeping. This is what this early community did, wabir at-shaf, they used to get up and ask Allah forgiveness before dawn, sahabah did this, this was their practice. And then he said, you will enter paradise in peace. He begins his khutbah with peace, he ends it with peace, after every prayer what did he say? Astaghfirullah, astaghfirullah, astaghfirullah, Allahumma anta s-salam, Wa min Allahi wa minka s-salam, Wa ilayka yauda s-salam, hayina Rabbana b-s-salam, tabarka wa ta'layta, yada l-jalani wal ikram, you would say, oh Allah you are s-salam and from you is s-salam and to you return s-salam, let us live in s-salam, let us live in peace, afshu s-salam beinukum. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, laa tadkhulu l-jannahah hatta tuqminu wa laa tuqminu hatta tahabu. You will not enter paradise until you believe and you will not believe until you love one another. A laa adullukum a laa shay'in idha fa'atimuuhu tahabibtum, afshu s-salam beinukum. Can't I tell you something if you'll do it? You will love one another, in other words you will believe, you will love one another and therefore, right, the hidden conclusion and therefore you will enter paradise. Can't I tell you what to do? Be laa ya Rasulullah, tell us what to do, afshu s-salam beinukum. Spread peace amongst you, spread peace amongst you. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Allahumma salli ala Sayyidina Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, told us to spread peace, why? Because this is what human beings want. In the Qur'an when Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala says, Dahumma yidda'un, they have what they yidda'un know. This is what even Juzayn and others say it means, yidda'un here means what they wish, what they're desiring for, what they're calling out for. Salaamun qaldamiru abdu r-Rahim. Some of the Mufassirun say, salam there is called a battle, it's a positive, in other words it's the same as maya da'oot. What they have is salam, that's why Allah calls to Darul salam, that jannah is finally the peace that we've all been looking for, peace. And this is why the Mufassirun say, when they first come into paradise, qawlamiru abdu r-Rahim, a word from a merciful Lord, the mu'mineena ra'u mura'u. The brother Aislam is the rahmah, Allah swt, the mu'mineena rahimah, he was merciful with the believers, because he gave them the means for peace, afshu salam beirutul. Now we have fitan, this is what we have, we have fitan, fitan is when Muslims kill each other, that's fitna, and there's no other word for it, there's no other word for it. You don't call it jihad, jihad is not fighting under muslim, it's not killing under muslim, you don't call that jihad, it's fitna. Now the Prophet Aislam gave him some advice, he said to Allah aislam, inna ha, and this is a sahiqah hadid, inna ha sattukulun fitna tun yukunan beqaj'u fiha khairan min adjad. There will be another way it says fitna, there will be this civil strike, calamity, it's better in that case to be lying down and to be sitting, wa jadisu khairan min al qa'in, and the jadis is better than the one standing, and the one standing is better than the one walking, and the one walking is better than the one running. Ya Rasulullah, ma taqmurun, a'ala min kaanat fadahu iblun, fadya l-haqbi ibnihi. In other words find some way of having your life within your source, and just do that, one man kaanat, fadya l-haqbi ghanami, if you have some sheep go get your sheep, one man kaanat fadahu arh, fadya l-haqbi arzihi. And then he said, fa min lam il kullahu she'u min l-arika khala fa liya'mi l-irasebihi, fa liya l-gribni, hafihi a'ala harba. Tumad iyanju, masqapa'an naja. Then let him break his weapon, and if he's able to be saved from that fitna let him be saved, but don't kill people that say la ilaha illa Allah, because if you shed blood of somebody that says la ilaha illa Allah, what want you do under yama qiyamah? Go under yama qiyamah, somebody that says la ilaha illa Allah, and you just remove them from the world, and this also includes human beings that aren't fighting you, it's not just the Muslim, because la ilaha illa Allah, he doesn't protect you from being good and to baruhu, show them good, show them goodness, because that would make them want to be like you, to come into your religion, but if you treat them horribly, why would they want to become Muslims? For the first time in 1400 years, these Christians have been protected, they've been protected in the Muslim land, rarely in Muslim history, even during the Armenian crisis in Turkey, but al-Adbashah wrote letters, do not harm in dealing with the Armenian problem, because that's a whole other discussion, but al-Adbashah, there are official documents that are recorded when he said, do make sure you do not harm other Christian communities in Ottoman lands, it was not about their religion, and the Ottomans took care of these people, this was our religion, this was our religion, protecting these people, Haji Halil, a beautiful Turkish man who hid Armenians in his house for over half a year, because he was worried that they would be killed during these, in 1915, when the Armenian crisis was happening in Turkey, they were Muslims that did, and they're still not, trust me, there are Christians now being protected by Muslims, because there are Muslims that know what this religion is, but we have young people now that have lost all sense of what this religion is, and they don't know, they didn't grow up with your grandparents, there's enough of you in here to know the religion of your grandparents, those of you who are Muslims, you know the religion of your grandparents, you know the religion they taught you, this is not the religion that's being practiced today, these are people that have had no tarbiyah, they have no doubt. In another Haji, the Prophet ﷺ warned us about these people, and he said, and this is very important for people to understand, he said, And you are fasting, they fast Monday and Thursday, or every other day, and you will think your organization of Quran is nothing by the amount of recitation that they do, and he said, So they're praying at night, they're doing tahajjud, don't be fooled by piety, don't be fooled by piety, they may even be sincere in their error, even Qayyim, as Jossi talks about, people that are مخلصون, but not مخلصون, they have iqlas in what they're doing, but they don't have to live from Allah in their iqlas, and those are dangerous people, يمر القول من الدين كما يمر قسامهم من الرمية, they will go out of this religion like an arrow goes out of the ball, Ibn Taimiyyah said about this, that the foundation of ibadah in our religion is prayer, fasting, and Quran recitation, and he said that's what fools people, if you see these people and their pious are doing all these things, you get fooled by them, and finally the Prophet ﷺ said, Before the hour, the hour is always near, since the time of Prophet ﷺ came, the hour is near, he said, Before the hour comes, there will be much indiscriminate killing, Qala Abu Musa Al-Asha'iri, the Sahabi asked al-Qutb, Ya Rasulullah, madharj, they didn't know that word, he said al-Qatru, murder, faqana ba'b al-Mussemeen, Ya Rasulullah, inna naktur wa al-Ana fil-Ama al-Wahid min al-Mushrikin, kada wa tada, we're killing, in our battles, we're killing mushrikin, in other words, we have Qatru now, what did the Prophet ﷺ said? They said, Ya Qatru al-Mushrikin wa lakim yaqturu ba'b al-Kumbhada, you're not killing mushrikin, you're killing each other, and then he said, Haqq yaqturu raja lujarahu, a man who killed his own neighbor, with an ammihi wa qarabatuhu, you killed his own cousin, or somebody related to him, faqana ba'b al-Qaum, Ya Rasulullah, ama'na uqturu na yawma iydin, O Messenger of God, do we have our brains, do we have our intellects, do we have our brains in those days? They can't understand it, they're trying to figure out, are they mad people? Have they gone crazy? Because what is the aqa, they're preventing you from doing evil, faqala Rasulullah, laa, they don't. Junza uqturu aqta bi dadik al-Zaman, the people, the majority of people in those days won't have any brains, just look around you on this planet. I'm telling you, look around you, people can't control their appetite, there's faqas everywhere, people can't control how they, if you need to control, they ate in measured amounts. When they were full, they stopped eating, they can't do that now. We've got people that weigh just incredible amounts of, because why? Now we're pulling it off. The aqa should tell you, stop, you're too fat. It's not healthy for you. But people lose their ability to control themselves. And this is what he said. And then he said something amazing. Ya'sibu aqturu hum, and everything he says is wonderful. Ya'sibu aqturu hum, annuhum ara shaykh. What is the ara shaykh? Most of them will think that they're on something substantial. You know, they're, I'm doing the right thing. This is right. And he said, but they have nothing. So, I don't know, it seems clear to me, I don't know. Everything seems clear to me. He was out of confusion. Now, well, what's confusing? I mean, it's all, it's all there. But if you want to cherry pick and take out what you want, and I'm not denying jihad. I'm not denying hababah, but what do you mean? I'm not denying any of those verses in the Quran. I'm not denying, I've never denied jihad. Nobody can ever find anywhere where I've denied jihad. But what is what's called ta'biq and man'ah? What is jihad? When is jihad appropriate? And what types of jihad? Because even Ibn Tameer said every action that is over to Allah is jihad. It's a struggle. So when is military struggle appropriate? Look at the Muslim countries now. You look at these pictures coming out of Syria, where a whole city is reduced to rubble. This is the great jihad. This is jihad. This is what we want for our oma. Seriously, this is what we want? This is a calamity. It's a calamity. And we have to pray for our oma. But if you want a metaphysical understanding of this, there are many verses in the Quran that will tell you exactly why this is happening. And that's another level. And that's a level Muslims don't want to look at. They don't want to look at how did this happen? An-nala na hadha. How did this happen to us? For women and young people, we don't want to take responsibility of our own sinfulness, of our own disobedience to Allah, of our own distance from Allah as an oma, as an oma that has broken the covenant with Allah. We don't want to take responsibility. And so, Jura'il-e-Uma ad-ad-Uma ki-fi-jua-gaha that half of my oma is in this world. And our oma is held right now for a lot of people. May Allah restore our sanity and bring our intellect back to us. I hope you have a stop for the body where I can recite it. Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah. One thing for all the young people, don't anybody be deluded by this type of propaganda. It's not Islam. It's simple as that. It's not Islam. It's something else. It's the perversion of Islam. And like the Prophet said, people will pervert this religion. And he said that the warabah, the people, the strangers, which he said, tawba al-warabah, blessed are the strangers. He said, who are the strangers? He said, They are the ones who rectify my way after people have corrupted it. So the way he gets corrupted, it's been corrupted in the past. But the Prophet's way is known and his way is the way of Rahmah. And here's a basic criteria for you to understand this religion. The Qaymah of Josiah said, all of this religion is Rahmah. So if it goes to its opposite, it's not from Islam. All of this religion is justice. So if it goes to its opposite, it's not from Islam. All of this religion is maqlaha. It's benefit. So if it goes to maqsa that, it goes to the opposite, then it's not from Islam. And he said, all of this religion is hikmah. It's wisdom. Wisdom is knowing what to do in the circumstances you find yourself. Wisdom is when Allah suspends the hadh punishment during a time of dread. Suspend the hukmah of Allah. He suspended the hadh. Because the hukmah of Allah, the judgment of Allah in his ishki hadh, at that moment, was that you should not apply the hadh. Even the humam says, when you have widespread ignorance, the great Shafi'at, when you have widespread ignorance, the hudud should be suspended. You should even implement hadh punishment when Muslims are ignorant of their religion. Our ulama were wise people. The Ottomans did everything they could do to stop the hadh punishment from being implemented. This is our religion. It's about rahmah. It's about mercy. It's about empathy to actually feel the pain of other people. You know, there's people that sit and watch these things. And they're no tears come to their eyes. Their hearts are dead. They're dead people. Manikum, what happened? You know, not to feel the pain and suffering of these people and want peace to come to them, to want war to continue. It's a sickness. This is a disease in people's hearts. And these war owners are disease people. On this side of the divide and on the other side, they're sick. There are sick people in this civilization that want to bomb and destroy people. We need to reach out to people to save those that can be saved, to help those that can be saved, to call them back to their own humanity. Allahumma SGB, Adhan, Allahumma salli wa sallam, va sallam w ad-dara'a wa sallam wa rahmatul mu'maad wa ala la fili wa sallam wa sallam wa sallam wa mu'ma'aлушar wa dhins wa ad-dari'ati. Allahumma sallim wa sallim wa sallam, walim wa sallim. Allahumma sallim wa sallim wa sallim, wa sallim wa sallim, walim wa sallim. You have entered a beautiful world.
