 والصلاة والسلام على أنبياء الله جميعا وعلى سيدهم وخاتمهم حبيبي الله العالمين بالقاسم المصفى محمد وعلى أهل بيتنا طيبين الطاهرين المعصومين الذين ألها الله عنهم ضدسة وطهارهم تظهيرا رب الله من الشيطان الرجيم بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم فصبر على ما يقولون وسبح بحمد ربك قبل طلوع الشمس وقبل غروبها ومن آناء الليه فسبتك وأطراف النهاري لعلك ترضى صلى الله والعليم العظيم ليس فصر but mentally because I try to guide my family to advise them to uphold to their religious principles, religious ideals, religious practices but they make fun of me they disrespect my faith, they disrespect me because I pray because I fast because I observe hijab because I read the poem and we have this conflict and it's a torture for me and I have seen many parents sometimes fathers sometimes mothers sometimes children who are contemplating on running away from the family because they are not enjoying their time when you live with a partner who does not share the same belief with you, not only does not share the same belief, he makes fun of you everything you say, everything you do, he makes fun of it, he ridicules you he calls you an outdated person, a backward person, a person who still lives in the dark ages and then you have a conflict, you have a confrontation every single day, you have a confrontation that of course that life would not be a peaceful life, that life would be very painful and takes a toll on you mentally, probably physically, socially and it really makes some people run away from the family, run away, try to find another sanctuary another place where they are welcomed or at least another place where they can practice their religion freely this is why I always advise the newlywed, those who are thinking of getting married I always say this, I always advise them that you have to marry someone who shares the same belief with you being in love with that individual is not enough, being in love is just a romance but you have to share the ideological system, the belief system too even the practicing of the ideology, not just to believe in it but to practice it you have to share the same, if you don't you are going to pay the price in the near future you are going to pay the price you are going to see these divisions, they start to surface and they start to go deeper and deeper and one day you find yourself in the court standing before the judge so what do we do, what does Islam say Islam says that there are some people who live with you, probably members of your own family your own extended family, neighbors, close friends who are, they are not Muslims but they have nothing against Islam they are non-hostiles, they respect your religion, they respect they don't share it with you but they respect your belief and they don't propagate, neither provoke nor work against you this is, there is a clear cut in junction vis-a-vis this group this peaceful group, we do not share the religion with you but they don't hurt you they respect your tradition and we see many of them in our neighborhoods we see many of them in the circle of our friends and friendship we see many of them I know many Christians, I personally know them that during this Ramadan they are fasting some of them they fast for a few days, some of them they fast the whole month in sympathy and respect to the Muslim community this is something great this is we are really proud of we have to cherish this, you live in a country that there are some people who don't share your Islam with you but yet they respect you and they go a long way of sympathizing with you fasting the month of Ramadan and of course Allah says I am not going to waste their deeds فمن يعمل مثقال ذرط خيرا يا ره ومن يعمل مثقال ذرط شران يا ره every good deed whether big or small it's going to give it's positive fruits every bad deed whether big or small is going to give it's bad fruits those Allah says about them in Surah Al-Mumtahana Chapter 60 in the Holy Quran لا ينهاكم الله عن الذين لم يقاتلوكم في الدين ولم يخرجوكم من دياركم ان تبرواهم وتقصدوا إليهم إلا الله يحبوا المصري Chapter 60 I want you to memorize this verse Chapter 60 verse number 8 you who live in the west Muslims who live in the west they have to memorize this verse when the Christians ask you about what do you believe of us what do you believe of non-Muslims say to them this verse Chapter 60 verse 8 I number 8 read this verse لا ينهاكم الله God does not forbid you to do good to be good and kind to those non-Muslims who did not fight against you لم يقاتلوكم في الدين they did not fight you because you are Muslim because of your religious orientation ولم يخرجوكم من دياركم they did not harass you and they drive you out of your land your house ولم يخرجوكم من دياركم and it means you must and تبرواهم تبرواهم comes from bir and bir comes from the same root the same way you treat your parents and bir بالوالدين being beautiful kind to your parents you do the same to those people who are your friends and maybe your family members sometimes your in-laws sometimes blood related to you تبرواهم وتقصطوا إليهم تقصطوا I could not find a better word تقصطوا أكثر than the Arabic dictionary تقصطوا أكثر than this term تقصطوا what is the root of تقصطوا my friends تقصطوا and what is this this is the highest level of what justice because justice has levels the highest level of justice is this the Quran says in Surah Al-Hadeed لقد أرسلنا رسولنا بالبينات وأنزلنا معهم الكتابة والميزان ليقوم الناس للقس we want people to act with this their attitude is based on this the highest level of justice and firmness and kindness so Allah says those Christians those Jews those whatever Buddhist Hindus Hindus whatever religion they have if they do not harass you if they respect you respect them we kind to them we hospitable to them so I also try to understand them and appreciate what they have this is what we have to do now suppose there are some people who other two groups so this is the first group people who are not Muslims but they are peaceful we have to deal with them with will and this with kindness and atmos justice and firmness there are other two groups the second group are those who want to fight against you not only they don't tolerate you not only they don't accept you but they plot to murder you to kill you in this case Allah says do not take them as friends those are not just your enemies they are the enemies of God too لا تتخدوا عدو وعدو وكم أولياء تلقون إليهم بالمورد لا تت可 believer who harbour so much grudge and hate and they plot to destroy you to eradicate you Don't take them as friends لا تلقون إليهم بالموردiffektهم لذا لا يمكنك أن تكون جيد لهم. تبقى منهم. لا تتأكدوا منهم. ويجب عليك أن تكون محاولين معهم. لأنهم ليس لديهم فقط لديهم. لماذا يتحبونك؟ ليس لديهم شيء مرحبا ولكن لأنك مسلم. إذا تخبرواهم أني ليس مسلم. لن يتحبونك. لدينا هذا بين المسلمين ومسلمين. لدينا هذا. إذا تعرفت أنك شيعاً، يتتحبونك. ولكن إذا أخبرتهم أني ليس شيعاً، فأنت محسنة. لذا لديك لا شيء مفتوح لك. أنه لديك خطأة لك. لديك خطأة لك. لديك خطأة لك. لديك خطأة لك. هذا هو المشكلة. ويجب أن تكون محاولين. هذا هو المشكلة. sometimes it's prejudice, he knows the truth but he cannot change his heart. He can't. Do you see sometimes some people when you try to advise them about smoking not smoking. He knows more than what you know He knows about the harm and the dangers of smoking more what you know more than what you know لا يمكنك التغيير ، بعض الناس يتعلمون عن المشاكل بشكل كبير من what you know ولكن لا يمكنك التغيير ، نفس الشيء مع عقيدة ، مع عقيدة بعض الناس يتعلمون أنهم مخطئون ، يتعلمون أنهم مخطئون ، يتعلمون جيدا هذا ليس كرام ، واجحدوا بها ، الله يكتبنا ، He knows our psychology He knows how we think He knows our psychology الله قد واجحه بها ومتحدث منها ، وض번ا وقلوك أكبر بحقيقة ، because of arrogance بعض الناس يتعلمون انها مخطئ لا تريدون أن تتعلمون نفسها فلا يتعلمون أنها مخطئ هذا المتحسية التحويات فهذا هو واحد ، المساعدة ، إنه جدًا جدًا ، ونحن لدينا هذه المساعدة في كل مجموعة ، وإنها المجموعة في المجموعة الأمريكية. هل أنت تعرف أنه بعد المجموعة من شارلستون 2 سنة قليلا؟ حتى الآن ، أكثر من 10 مجموعة المجموعة were burned in the southern states. كل يوم ، هناك 2 أو 3 مجموعة المجموعة مجموعة من أرسل ، ومجموعة من أرسل ، just because those people are black. وإنظر أن المجموعة who burns the church is a Christian, and he is a churchgoer too. He goes to a church, but then he comes and he burns another church. Because that church belongs to the black people. We have the same thing. There are some people who killed the Shi'as. He goes to the mosque. He worships God, but he destroys the Shi'a mosque because this guy is a Shi'a. Do you see the prejudice here? So we have it. We have it in America. We have it in Saudi Arabia. We have it in the east. We have it in the west. We have it in all cultures and in all religions. This is prejudice. This is exactly what the poor answers. They know the truth, but they reject it as an act of wrongdoing and as an act of arrogance. We do have this. This is a disease. Someone who is a prejudice, he or she has a disease. They have to correct themselves. They have to cure themselves. This is a disease. This is number one. Sometimes it's not prejudice. It is what? Ignorance. They don't know the truth. But if you tell them the truth, they give up. They don't hate you. So there are reasons for this hate. There are reasons. Sometimes prejudice, sometimes ignorance. Allah says those who fight you and they want to kill you and murder you, don't have a friendship with them. Don't. Inna mayan hakum. Again in the same chapter 60. Allah says we do not forbid you from being kind to those non-Muslims who are good. Be kind to them. But we forbid you to be kind to those non-Muslims who are against you. Inna mayan hakum Allah. Listen to the wording of the book. عن الذين يقاتلوكم في الدين. Those who fight you based on religious grounds. Because you are Muslim, they fight. يقاتلوكم في الدين. This is number one. Inna mayan hakum Allah. عن الذين قاتلوكم في الدين. واخرجوكم من دياركم. They driven you out of your land. واخرجوكم من دياركم. Not only they drove you out of your land. But they supported and backed the groups who drove you out of your land. You know this guy who murdered eight or nine people in the black church in South Carolina. What's his name? Something ends with roof. Something like that. Although he's roofless. You know how much money they raised for him? People who have a prejudice. People who are like-minded. People who are like-minded like him. How much money they raised for him to support him? So those, they could not do the crime. But they helped someone who does the crime. They supported him. They encouraged him. This is exactly what Allah says. وضاهروا على اخراجكم. They cannot drive you out. But they raise money for those who drive you out. And we have in many Muslim countries. In many Muslim countries. We have people who cannot join ISIS. But they raise money for ISIS. They send money. They send supply. Politically they support that. There was a survey. Recent survey. Don't check it out. It was published three days ago. 95% of the tweets. 95% of the youth. 95% of the youth who tweet in Saudi Arabia. They support ISIS. 95%. A recent survey. Who studied those who tweet in support of ISIS. They found out. They tracked them down into their countries. Saudi Arabia's number one. They support ISIS. And we have some of them from here. They tweets from America. Supporting ISIS. ISIS which goes against every, every basic fundamental of Islam. Did the Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم. Did they encourage people to bomb. To kill others. To kill worshipers inside a mosque. Inside a church. In a marketplace. In a school. Did they do that? Did the Prophet Muhammad was beheading people and burning them in a fire? Based on their ideology. Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم always reached out to others. قل يا أهل الكتاب تعانوا come to me I welcome you. He reached out to us. He extended his hand. His heart to others. To the extent that he married a lady who was Jewish. Another lady who was Christian. Previously they were Jewish and Christian. And he married them. They became part of his family. صفية was Jewish. ماريا القبطية was Christian. They became part of the family of Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم. Where is ISIS now? Who do they follow? They do not follow Muhammad ابنه عبد الله صلى الله عليه وسلم. They follow the mentality the path of Muhammad من عبد الهار. Muhammad من عبد الهار. The founder of Wahhabism. Not Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم. So Allah says those who drive you out and they back others and they support others to drive you out do not do not extend the hand of friendship with them. They are your enemies. And they are the enemies of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم. أتكانت لكم أسوة حسنة في إبراهيم. We take Ibrahim عليه السلام the forefather of the Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم. As an example أسوة حسنة في إبراهيم والذين معه إثقالوا لقل مهم. They said to their community who had a prejudice against them and who ultimately drove إبراهيم out of Iraq إبراهيم is a man who was born in Iraq Iraqi ناصرية If you go today to Iraq there is a city called Nasiriyah in the southern part of Iraq between Baghdad and Basra Somewhere in the middle Nasiriyah Outside Nasiriyah is the birthplace of Ibrahim عليه السلام They drove him out of the country They stripped him out of his Iraqi nationality as some countries they do nowadays with the believers The government of Bahrain does this The government of Qatar does this The Emirati government does this They stripped some people out of their nationality And he remains stateless He doesn't know He doesn't know where is he In the middle of the ocean Because he does not support the government So Ibrahim was stripped out of his nationality And he was driven out He was driven out Because he spoke the truth Because he spoke the truth Not because he was a terrorist He was driven out Because he spoke the truth Not because he was a terrorist Because he invited his community To worship God To be good Not to abuse each other Ibrahim and those of you who believed with him He said to his own community Who are declaring war against him War and violence against him We disconnect ourselves from him We can't be your friends anymore I am not a friend if you respect me But if you want to murder me How can I be your friend Friendship is based on love And trust Isn't it These are the Ingredients of friendship When you have someone as a friend You have to respect him Even if you differ from them You have to respect their traditions Their ideologies But if you say to someone You are my friend But you disrespect him Not only disrespecting him You wait for the minute That you can murder that person And destroy him Then this is not friendship Don't call yourself Don't be friend of those enemies So this is the second group Are non-Muslims who are peaceful Second are non-Muslims Or even Muslims Who are not peaceful Who are dangerous We cannot be their friends Now we come to the third group Third group are Muslims They say we are Muslims But they don't practice Islam And if you are a member of their family They don't allow you to practice Islam They harass you I know some girls Who belong to some Muslim families When they observe Hijab Their mothers Become frustrated with them Rather than becoming happy And appreciative of them And saying masha'Allah You are doing something good You are protecting yourself Protecting your dignity Getting close to God The mother starts harassing her daughter The father who knows his son Is going to the mosque During the month of Ramadan And loving Islam And getting close to God And trying to fix himself The father becomes angry With his son Rather than saying I am proud of you son I am really proud of you You don't go to nightclubs You don't waste your time in streets You don't do drugs You go to the mosque The father becomes angry And they discourage their children From practicing Islam We do have many examples of this Many examples So what do you do As I said sometimes life Is really held with those people You cannot enjoy your life When your family Are not sharing the faith with you This journey to God with you You are going to get very frustrated Very frustrated And it takes a long time I know But what do you do in this case You run away You leave your family And you run away You take refuge in the mountain You don't do that The prophets of God did not run away From their communities Except one which I am going to mention in this story And he saw the consequences of his deeds Allah says I sent you If you are a good Muslim Then show me here Show me the goodness of your faith By staying with your family By showing them good أفلاق By showing them a humility Even if they are friends Sometimes family members Sometimes friends Don't run away from them If they are not If they are not violent against you If they are violent you have to stay away Because you never know what happens Nowadays ISIS are distributing these traps So They could join ISIS any minute And I don't know what happens If they are not violent If they are not violent Stay with them Allah says we send you to connect You guys here All the مؤمنين and مؤمنات You are bridge builders Connectors Connectors Peacemakers This is our duty A مؤمن who loves his Lord Who has a good relationship with his or her Lord Is a bridge builder He brings people together He stays in the family Through your patience Through your tolerance Sometimes Through your concessions Sometimes concessions Someone Used to go to his family And the family are non-Muslims And he stands for the Salat With the loudest voice And his father And his mother cannot sleep They cannot go to work So I was telling him listen Do you want to worship God? You don't have to raise your voice You don't have You are not the Imam of Masjid Al-Haram You are praying by yourself You don't have to raise your voice You can hear you As a very good ear You can hear you If you pray silently You don't have to raise your voice Do not offend them Some people think that since they are Muslims They have to be angry They have to push Islam down The throat of people Like Saudi Arabia At the time of Salah They carry the steak And they go on the shops Believe me When you break the window Of a shopkeeper Not only he is not going to pray He is not going to believe in God anymore Because he knows God As the God of mercy Not God of punishment But this is the way Saudi Arabia works This is the way This is why we have ISIS in Saudi Arabia Salat Invite people اهلاك بالصلاة وصبر عليها God says to Ibrahim Ask them to pray But give concessions Be lenient وصبر عليها Be tolerant Don't use force You are not going to teach your children Islam or Salat or fasting Or Hijabi through force Through intimidation through anger You are going to lose your family Don't do that You know how many parents They are away from God Parents They drive their children away from God Because they are hungry We have to make God a beautiful God The God of mercy Even if your son skips the prayers today Tell him no problem You can lick it out Don't send him to Jahan and eat it Allah is the Lord of mercy Allah has created وَجَنْ لَتِنْ عَرْضُهَا سَمَا وَاتُوا الْأَبْ الكاراديز That unlimited Only for few hundred people like us We go to paradise and then the rest of paradise Is empty Is empty? No So those people We have to stay in your family If your family are disobedient They are not practicing Even if they radical Islam Be patient Do not leave them إذا كانوا أمبياء الله ، فإنهم كانوا يفلدون المجموعة ، لكنهم لم يفلدون أن يفلدون أحد ، وكانوا يفلدون المجموعة وَلَلْنُونِ إِرْ ذَهَرَ مُغَاضِبَنْ وَظَنَّ أَنْ لَلَّنَّ أُغْدِرَ عَلَيْهِ يعتقد أننا لم نستطيع أن نفلده ، الله قلت لهم يونس ، يبقى هناك في نينورا ، وهي موسل ، وهي موضوع الآن ، مع إيسيس ، ويقول موسل اليوم أنه كان يبقى في هذا المكان ، وأنه كان يبقى هناك ، وإيسيس يأتي ، وولدما فعلت ذلك ، يفلدون المساعدة المساعدة لذا الله قلت لهم أن يبقى في هذا المنطقة ، ويقوموا بعمل مع أخي لكن لأنهم يتبقون على أفضل أفضل في مجموعة يتبقون الله ، one day he got angry and he left he left there were only two people who believed in him one was a scholar learned the other was not a scholar so he left when the adab approached him, approached the city of Nailabah the people woke up, they realized that all these warnings that were made by Yunus were true the adab is coming, the punishment is coming so they went to those two guys first they went to the Jahim they said to him where is Yunus he said listen Yunus let the city you are going to go to hell go and prepare yourself for death there is no solution God is coming after him they left him they went to the Ale look at the Ale this is the Ale they said where is Yunus he said what do you want from Yunus they said we want to repent he said Yunus is a human being if Yunus has a flat his Lord would not feel his Lord is there you have to go to his Lord what do you want from Yunus maybe you are wrong his Lord is there go to his Lord immediately he gives hope this is the Ale the hadith says the scholar is the one who does not make people despair or despondent from God's mercy he finds in a way a solution that's the scholar Yunus went a moment of hunger he is a human being وَلَلْنُونِ إِذْ ذَهَبَ مُغَاضِبًا فَظَنَّ أَلَّى النَّكْتِرَ عَلَيْهِ نَكْتِرْ means we do not restrict him we do not discipline him we do not restrict him we do not discipline him we do not discipline him we discipline him because he left his force he should have stayed there you leave your force you leave your job فَنَا دَافَ الْظُلُمَاتِ أَلَّا إِهَا إِهَا إِلَّا أَنْتَ تُبْحَانَكَ الْمِينِ كُنْتُمْ لَبْطَالِمِينِ فَسْتَجَبْنَا لَهُ وَرَجَّيْنَا هُمْنَا الْغَامِ وَكَدَارِكَ هُمْنِينِ وَمِنِينِ فَبكَدْ يًكَدْ Veronica وَمِنِّهِكَدْ في رTF فَبكَدِر وَكَدِرbiorا في رات فَبكَدْ cards فَبكَدْ cards فَبكَدْ cards رابра رابرة ر money special اجد اتح families اتح نحن نعود لهم ، نحن نعود لهم ، وذلك نحن نحن نعود كل صحيحة وكذالكا ننجل أمي ، إذا كنت تقول كثيرا ، إذا كنت تشعر ، وصعب ، سعاد ، لا أحد يساعدك ، إذا لم يكن يونه سما وجود ، فربه يونه سما وجود ، الله يسبب ، الله يسبب ، الله يسبب ، لا يسبب ، يسبب ، وإذا سألك عباد عني ، فإنني قريب ، أجيبه دعوة الدعا ، إذا دعا ، تشعر أمي ، إذا كنت تشعر ، maybe one day your family will wake up. Maybe your family will wake up. I end with this story. موسى عليه السلام was so frustrated with fear. So frustrated. موسى ، سلسل الله سبحانه وتعالى ، وقال موسى in Surah Tunis. وقال موسى ، ربنا إنك آتيت فرعون وملأه زينة وأموالا في الحياة الدنيا. ربنا إنك آتيت فرعون وملأه زينة وأموالا في الحياة الدنيا. We have given them zina, wealth, power, influence, وأموالا good economy في الحياة الدنيا. ربنا ليوظنوا عن سديلك. They are using this influence, this power, this military might, this strong economy to misguide people from your path. ليوظنوا عن سديلك. So he became angry, listen to what he said to God. ربنا اقمس على أموالهم. My Lord, I want you to destroy their wealth, their economy. Destroy it. واشتد على قلوبهم. The first curse is easy. But listen to the second one. The second one is very hard. This is where Allah reprimanded موسى for this law. الله reprimanded it. ربنا اقمس على أموالهم. Destroy their economy. Okay, destroy their economy, no problem. But he said something inappropriate here. واشتد على قلوبهم فلا يؤمنوا حتى يروا العذاب القليل. Harden their hearts so they cannot be ever guided until they get that severe punishment from them. This is not good. You have to pray even for your enemies. You have to say إلهي. If they are qualified to believe, guide them. Let them be guided. Don't destroy them. If they are not qualified, they still insist on their injustice and their wrongdoings and on their evil, then destroy them. But موسى did not do that. So Allah sent a message to موسى. At the time where فرعان was surrounding, فرعان started calling on موسى. موسى please help. موسى was standing there laughing at him. Allah said to موسى believe me موسى. If فرعان was raising his head and saying الله I would have saved him. I would have saved him. Even though I know he is corrupt. But if he calls upon me and says I need help, I would have helped him. How could you not listen to him? This is not the message of someone whose heart is full of love and compassion. So stay in your community. Stay in your family. People need saving. People need guidance. Try to reach out to them. Maybe Allah has chosen you. He said I want you to be my messenger. I have chosen from all those people I want you. To be the means that I carry I send my guidance to people. Stay there. And extend your hand. Extend your heart. And this is the month of رحمة الله. The month of رحلة. The month of compassion. الله مغفر المؤمنين والمؤمنات. والمسلمين والمسلمات الأحياء منهم والهموات. تابع لهم بيننا وبينهم بالخيارات. إنك مجيب الدعوات. إنك غافر الخضيئات. تقبل لنا صلاتنا وصيامنا. ودعاءنا في هذا الشهر العظيم. ومن على مضانا بالشفاق والعافية لدينا محمد رضا who comes on wheelchair always. He's in a bad shape and his father told me that we really need to play for him. He was always in the masjid. Always you see him during Friday prayers most of the night. So that's for him and other مؤمنين who need دعاء. Whether they are patients whether they are people who are distressed. Raise your hand let's pray for them. أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم اسم الله الرحمن الرحيم أمان يجيب المصطر إذا دعاء ويكشف السوء أمان يجيب المصطر إذا دعاء ويكشف السوء أمان يجيب المصطر إذا دعاء ويكشف السوء أمان يجيب المصطر إذا دعاء ويكشف السوء أمان يجيب المصطر إذا دعاء ويكشف السوء أمان يجيب المصطر إذا دعاء ويكشف السوء أمان يجيب المصطر إذا دعاء ويكشف السوء أمان يجيب المصطر إذا دعاء ويكشف السوء كل مكان يا أرحم الراحمين تقبل مننا عمالنا في هذا الشهر العظيم صلاتنا وصيامنا ووفقنا للتوبة والعبادة يا أرحم الراحمين اللهم كل ولي كان حُجّة إدن الحسن صلواتك عليه وعلى آبائه في هذه الساعة وفي كل ساعة وليا وحافظا وقائدا وناصرا ودليلا وعينا حتى تُسكنه أرضك طوعا وتُمانتِعه فيها طويلا وإتعنى الله من أصاله واهوانه وإلا أواحي المؤمنة والمؤمنات والشهداء دواب الفاتح مع الصلاة على محمد وآل محمد
