Salaam alaikum WA Rahmatullah what I casually
Malarum era he-man hamdulillah wa salatu was-salam ala rasulina
We praise the Almighty who created us
We send blessings and salutations upon those who were sent to guide us the messengers
All of them muhammad sallallahu salam his companions his household
May Allah bless them all and bless every one of us and grant us all goodness
The women more than the men because of their numbers, Masha Allah
My brothers and sisters I'm delighted to be in Bradford and this is just a very very
simple beautiful interactive evening and
It's an evening of motivation where I've been so motivated just by seeing the numbers subhanAllah
I came in quite early. I think some of you do know that right and
I've met some of the brothers and sisters and they were quite excited
You know
I was parking my car and I noticed a little while later that there were two sisters in the car next to mine and
I think we would have needed an ambulance when they noticed who was in the car next to them
but the reason I say it is because
We're just ordinary human beings
I'm just like you are I am as excited to see you and I promise you I do know as human beings maybe
You might think there is a great excitement because you've seen someone you've benefited from someone you might have seen them on various
Platforms of social media and now you're seeing them in real life
So that excitement needs to be contained. We're just human
Yeah, we're just human masha'Allah, but it's a good thing because to be honest
At the moment across the globe
Aren't we going through so many crises things are happening that are so confusing and everyone's dealing with it in so many
different ways at times it becomes such a mess because
those who are not qualified to speak or speaking and
Sometimes those who are qualified are not wise enough with their wisdom
To be able to get that message across so we feel that down and sometimes I know what happens to me
people say why don't you speak up on X Y & Z the reality is perhaps I have
Maybe you haven't heard it
It doesn't mean I haven't spoken and sometimes I'm not qualified to speak about that subhanAllah, you know
yesterday I
was speaking to a group of friends in another city and
They were speaking about the problems being faced by the most today and I said it's not just with the Muslims
It's across the globe every country has issues. Even the most advanced countries have issues
you know the most backward countries have issues and the question that was coming up was
people are not you know, the scholars are not speaking up and I said, hang on just like when you
Have a problem with your health. May Allah. Give us all good. Health. Say I mean
Important because you never know which is the moment of acceptance. I'm sure you hear me
Every time we are saying something we quickly make it to earth may Allah bless us. May Allah grant us ease
May Allah open our doors may Allah, give us chief our grant drama to all those who are in need of it
And that's every one of us. Say I mean again?
the reason is no one knows which is the moment of
acceptance of the prayer perhaps it might be that moment where that time is going to be heard loud and clear and perhaps
accepted in a way we want anyway, I'm gonna get back to that inshallah, but
Just like if you were sick and ill and you went to the doctor and they told you you have a heart condition
Would you remain with the GP or would you then go to someone else?
Whose is that someone else
Cardiologist some say specialist. That's what I want. So they're all doctors, aren't they? They've all studied medicine haven't they?
We all call them doctor so-and-so doctor so-and-so etc. But but
some of them have specialized so you will not go to the same person when you know
You've got an illness that requires specialized
Medicine
You go to that specialist and wallahi my brothers and sisters amongst us this evening
I'm very sure we have professionals doctors
Whoever else in whatever field you are in and those who are serving even if you are just serving your own
families and even if you're just serving subhanAllah a small circle of people
I promise you I appreciate the sacrifice and the service and the Almighty who?
He is the one who definitely appear Sheetz what you're doing without the done?
So don't let people's comments ever let you down
Don't let people's comments make you think what you're doing is not important because what you are doing if you believe it's important it is
Absolutely important. Okay, so I was saying in the same way you have scholars. Some of them are GPS
Right. Some of them are cardiologists. I'm talking of spiritual cardiologists some of them
Perhaps are something else maybe dentists?
Orthodontist, etc. Etc. You can see I'm talking about it because of mine, right?
But that's it. So you do have this among the scholars
You don't expect everyone to do everything you want them to do because one of the diseases we have
Is to pass the buck
We pass the responsibility and another disease we have sometimes
We deal with the problem in a way that creates an even bigger problem. I
Don't know if you've come across that
The people go about saying bad things about the Prophet peace be upon him and we don't like it and obviously it hurts us
But how we address it? We actually prove to them that the hooligans you thought we were we are
malice F ganas
We can express and I promise you every time
Something negative has been said about Islam or about the Prophet Muhammad. Peace. Be upon him or about you and I
It's a moment
Where people will be prepared to take in
What information you're giving them?
Regarding that person or that thing that is being hated on
I've arrived at a stage where I love it when someone really spews that hate it's my moment to shine
Masha'Allah, I promise you show them. That's not me
Have you guys seen any one of my insta Live's if you've seen an insta live session that I've done?
Please put up your hand so I can see omotchama quite encouraging. Okay, so you have people showing you the signs, right?
well
They say we show you the signs because Instagram has those signs to show you see
do not I mean
If they want to swear you and they want to they want to show you bad science
It's because the signs are available for you to express yourself, but they don't know you they're judging you based on your dress
They're judging you based on what you look like on your name, etc. And so many different factors whose weakness
Is it theirs or yours it's theirs?
If you are going to for a moment
Respond to them in a negative way such that
You prove to them what you guys believe about me is actually true and I'm even worse than that in that case
You've lost but if you rise and shine and show them guy
You know, you're swearing me. I'm not going to sway you back. No way. Your bad doesn't have to make me become bad
Your weakness doesn't have to make me develop the same weakness or worse
But unfortunately sometimes due to human nature and frustration we become so bad
We start swearing back we get up and yell
I'm not saying don't deal with the matter deal with it in a beautiful way
Go back to the prophetic way of dealing with things and this is where we learn from Muhammad. Sallallaahu Selim. They saw him in his
Presence which is a very big big difference
imagine people today might be saying that the prophets of Salaam was
Something that he wasn't and they're using something derogatory in order to work you and I yes, it hurts us
Yes it we don't like it. Yes
we want to do something about it in a way that they can learn and they can come to the straight path, but
Remember there was a day when they did worse than that to the messenger himself physically in person
How did he react I want to take you to one example and you know the example, but we're going to recap
Have you heard of the story of Taeef?
Taeef
rings a bell doesn't it the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him when he was persecuted in Mecca when he was
When he struggled in makkaa with so many different issues that he was faced as the prophet of allah subhanahu
Wa'ta'ala and you know what he went to that if and he called them towards goodness. And what did they do?
Astaghfirullah they swore at him. They threw stones at him. They made him bleed. They chased him
They actually chased him physically out of five
What happened how did he react
How did he retaliate I?
Tell you in the same way. It would hurt us
Definitely the Angels told him you know, what?
Where are the angels of the mountains if you want to crush these people you just have to say crush them and they're gone
The mountains the two mountains, you know life is a value right we can bring these two together. These people are God
He says I am sent as a mercy o
Allah guide them. They don't know what they're doing. Oh
Allah if you're not going to guide them at least guide their offspring
He says oh Allah, I am complaining to you about my own weakness, you've given me a duty to fulfill and look at the response
If he wanted
He could have destroyed them he could have that's what we believe but he didn't a lesson for all of us
to say
When we get upset whether it's about you
Whether it's about your religion, whether it's about the messenger peace be upon him whom we hold in the highest esteem
Yes, we do get upset when others say bad words
We do
But how to react to it
I promise you people are waiting
People are waiting for the goodness that we should be showing them and they will melt they will melt
We're a lacking character and conduct across the globe as Muslims yet
It is the faith that tells you that one of the key ways of getting into paradise is by development of your character and conduct
When the messenger peace be upon him was asked or messenger
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
What are the characteristics that would lead people to paradise the people of paradise? What would have got them into paradise?
he said that while I were hostile Hinoki two things the relationship with your maker and
the greatness of your character and conduct
Wow, I look at people and I say
Sometimes we appear so religious and we're hypocrites
I'm not saying that it's not important to appear religious or I'm not belittling that
but I am saying your
Responsibilities are great
develop, whatever you can first some people say
Well, you know what before I can appear religious I want to start
you know trying to develop myself this way and that way and sometimes Chafin doesn't allow you to do anything because
You believe you want to do one before another can I tell you what the true answer is?
Develop whatever is easy for you and be happy with it and keep going for as long as every day. You are moving forward
Some people through their character and conduct will reach levels of the loved ones of Allah
His friends and even
the prophets of Allah
Do you know that it's a hadith of the Prophet SAW sermon
He says to the degree that
myself and
The one with great character will be together in paradise. I
Am there this evening, but let me tell you my brothers and sisters develop your character learn to speak to people with respect
Learn to understand that the same freedom
You have to believe what you are believing and to practice what you believe is, correct
Everyone else has the same
Right and Allah is given everyone a brain and Allah is given every brain a different level of understanding
That's a last plan if he wanted he could have put in little chip where everyone would think the same and have the same
Capacity but Allah says no
I want some people to be able to understand things in this way and some in that way and some he knows the reason
So yes, we're all passionate about what we believe is right
but remember your duty is to talk about it to convince people to discuss it in a very very
respectful way if the if the opportunity arises but on top of that at the end of the day
Leave it to the person to make their mind up the Prophet peace be upon him in person
Spoke to some people about the Deen the religion about Islam and they rejected his message yet
He was the most eloquent of the lot and he was there in person
Imagine if the Prophet peace be upon him was here in person to tell us something
People said I wish that was the case. I said I don't wish that was the case because we would embarrass him
We would say no, I don't think I'm ready for all of what you're saying right now
It can happen. So Allah slesin is he's kept us in a generation when we haven't seen the Prophet. Peace be upon him
But we without seeing him we believe
We believe
That's a very high level
But if that belief makes your character such that you come across in an arrogant way
You haven't followed the Prophet peace be upon him
Do you know the prophets of our Salam may Allah grant us all strength myself to begin with?
he was such that when he sat with his people a
Stranger wouldn't distinguish who exactly was the Prophet peace be upon him
if
They didn't know
Unless it was the heart of a believer that picked up the nor the new meaning the light
You can tell oh this must be him
That's why when the foreigners used to come they used to say eh you come Muhammad which one of you is Muhammad here subhanAllah
But if he was one of those sat on a throne and made it seem to everyone that I am the big boss fear
Do you know what?
It wouldn't have been on
The level of character and conduct that he was upon he was on the highest level of character and conduct
Absolutely. We have no doubt. We always say the best of creation the most noble of all messengers of Allah
I had an email yesterday telling me that when you use the word creation, it sounds a little bit derogatory
Why don't you just say the best of messengers the best of humankind, so I replied saying the best of creation confirms?
Being better than the Angels subhanAllah
SubhanAllah. So when you say the best of creation, it's actually confirming that it goes higher up double healthy
It goes a little bit higher than what you think
It's not just the best of mankind best of creation
But that's us who believe there will be others who don't believe in the Prophet Muhammad. Peace be upon him at all
There will be people who don't believe in God who don't believe at all in religion
Can I tell you something?
If you have the opportunity to convey to them your message of goodness do so with utmost respect in the most
beautiful fashion and the best way of doing it is just through your character and conduct and
thereafter the next stage and then the next one and then so someone will get closer to you because of your
Character you greeted them you made them feel like they're a part of the human family
You didn't discriminate against them may Allah forgive us wherever we have in the past present or where we may falter
sometimes in the future
Unintentionally may Allah grant us goodness and purification
then they will greet you they might smile at you and you've broken into a smile then you have the
Opportunity to say a word and when you do a day may come when they will show an interest in what is it?
That's driving you to be so positive and then you can throw in your word
The problem with us you look at someone who's different from you and that's it
If you could spit you would spit on the side. It's not good Allah
Never forgive us isn't it reality?
You see someone different from you. They belong to a different sect of Islam
We may disagree very strongly with what they're saying
Does that give you a license to become a person who's low in character and conduct?
Spewing the same that they may be spewing. For example, what made you different go back to the prophets of a seldom?
Look at what he did in power if have you raised your hands to make dua for them
I give you an example of brother Arnold Von Doom and some of you might have heard that name in
the Netherlands what they did
They made a movie against the prophetess Anna. That was really really nasty
depicting Islam as very bad and the Prophet peace be upon him as
even worse stuff Allah
and I remember many many years back and I've still been saying the same thing that you go back to the
Supplications of the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him. You will find that he used to pray for those who hated him
Positive prayer who was the one who hated him the most. What was his name initially in Mecca?
Abu jahil, right
Abu jahil that means father of ignorance, you know
The Arabs had this way of up to today. They say father of this and father of that not necessarily
Is that your child? Sometimes it's just a quality ignorant father of ignorance, you know
So he was known as Abu jahil, but actually his name was Abu Hisham
So hammer is spelt with iron meme and robbed the first three letters with the humble. There is a little Wow, which is silent after
Depicting that it is not a month
But it's written exactly as Omar is written ain't me Mandela the difference is there's a WoW
After the R when it comes to Amr and there's no wo after the ha when it comes to Houma
That's how you know, this is Uomer and this is AMAR. So one man's name was Umar bin Khatab
He used to hate the Prophet peace be upon him. He decided I'm going to murder this guy
and
Abu jahil was the other one his name was Abu Hisham
one day the Prophet peace be upon him raised his hands and he says Allah o my lord o
There is an Islamic
Idol on marine one
Of these two Umars meaning they both have the Amr in their names, right?
one of these two Umars guide them to Islam so that we can be strengthened. These are strong men
They they're using their abilities and whatever
You've given them to fight your Deen if you bring them to the Dean they will use these resources
In order to strengthen this deep
How many of us would look at people who have really done?
nasty things against Islam today
If I were to tell you think of the biggest enemy of Islam a lot of you would think of a name a name
Have you ever said? Oh Allah soften his heart or like guide him to the deal if you did you have prophetic
Qualities to a lower degree, but it's something really good that you have
You dealt with a lot of hate
That would bog you down as a person and you're now looking at positives even from the most negative people
When you can look at someone who feels themselves that they're negative
But you can make them feel positive. You already have helped in a big way starting with helping yourself
Because they're part of society. They're part of the blow
So no sooner did that. Do I come about from the professora? Salem's blessed lips?
Then Homer in October of the eleven who decides I'm going on
Took his sword was going out to murder this man
But on the other hand
there was a dua supplication made o Allah soften their hearts guide them and when he went to his sister's house and
He started beating them up and then he read a few verses of the Quran
That book up to today people
Detractors will tell you it has in it this it has in it that it is bad
It is what let me tell you if you know the Quran in the correct context of the Quran you will be
mesmerised even the non-muslims
Have been mesmerised when they know the correct context of the verses of the Quran and when they learn from me
It's just a divine book
It is unlike any other
book
You can tell it straight away. It's
worlds apart, so when he read the first few verses of
surah taha and that was
Carefully selected by Allah. He didn't know that but I'll learn you that
you know you and I
things happen to us
We think we did it but we don't know Allah did it. Can I give you one beautiful example again? I
was catching a flight once I was flying from
Dubai to Johannesburg, okay
That's a long flight seven and a half hours. Okay, I see there's a brother smiling because I met him also on the plane
He's sitting right in front of me
Sir so what happened this I
Was flying from Dubai to Johannesburg?
Had a ticket I had booked my seat
normally we a day or two before we check in all that online just to make sure everything's okay and
I found myself a seat where?
there is no one next to me, but
What happens a lot of the times is someone then books the seat next to you and they no one knows who it is there
Is a little app called fly with me which is still up and coming where if you log in your details it
tells you everyone else who's flying in the same airport from your buddies from your contact list and
What flight they're gonna be on and wherever if they've allowed that to happen within that contact us?
But that is a little bit dangerous. I don't use it, but it's there
however
I
Put my seat
And it was seven eight
Seven eight sitting quite near the front
and as I walked in I saw
There was a woman seated on seventy
But like there's nothing wrong in sitting on seventy absolutely nothing wrong
But I thought she might not be so comfortable seeing a guy with a mess, you know
And seeing a guy that's dressed in this way, and she might just like sort of gulp a few gulps and you know
It might she might be uncomfortable. So
without me
Giving her the impression that this is my seat. I started looking for another seat
Right, so I'm looking this way and that way she was one to shop. She was I couldn't tell that she was a Muslim
I couldn't tell and I much as I don't like to judge people
But I'm just letting you know there was no sign there to say. She's a Muslim woman. In fact, I
was trying to make it comfortable for her and
So she looks at me and she says sorry move, Dominque
And I almost fainted, you know the same ambulance. We wanted for the other sisters here. They would have needed it for me there. I
almost fainted
And I said, sorry she said Salaam alaikum. I've been praying that I meet you
I've been praying to Allah for a few years that I meet you I swear and now he's given me seven hours with you
And you want to go away. It's not fair. She tells the air hose just make sure he sits on his seat
You see and guess what there were no empty seats, so I said now sister don't worry I'm sitting I'm right with you
And I didn't I was really looking forward to my sleep that day
And it didn't come
Because the sister really she was weeping she was crying initially. She was crying. She said I can't believe it
I can't believe it and she says no I am a Muslim man
And like I say we don't judge but sometimes if I tell you look I didn't recognize the person. I'm just telling you that
Had I known she was boosting backside of each other perhaps whatever. It's okay, it's fine. But now I got to know
What do you know something?
She told me she hasn't missed a 200 for five years she
Says just pray for me. I said sister, you know your struggles your struggles
I don't know them, but I want to tell you I don't need to hurt you
As regularly as you do
I'm not condoning anything. I'm just showing you
People do things and get to Allah in whatever way is easier for them
Don't belittle that encourage it don't stop them. If someone else had to look at the sister. They would have said sister
You know, what forget about going to join them you're already there, but watch the people next to you. They might go as well
That's how some people
discourage others based on what they look like
that's the same thing people do to guys like me where they just look at you in the say hate creature Oh,
Hate preacher. What's hate subhanAllah?
May Allah grant us ease. This is the sickness that we have as Muslims amongst ourselves and
She started talking to me about issues that I was shocked about
They were connected to family they were connected to
You know finances and halal and Haram and I'm busy thinking the small fine
Details of making sure that every penny that I've earned is halal
Would have probably been one of the factors why Allah answered her prayer in the way that she knows
Allah answered this to out of mine
Do you know what I'm trying to say here?
You and I make a dua to Allah. We ask Allah and you know sir, it does things do happen in our lives
but imagine you made it to our to Allah that you something and that thing Allah sent it straight to you a
Year two years three years later, but it came right doesn't it develop your conviction in Allah to say you heard me
So Hannah loved
My brothers and sisters. I wanna cry talking about it right now because I know
details, I can't let you let you know the details of what I know but
That day I learned
More than I had learnt in a long long time. It changed me a lot and
I learned that there are so many people out there who have
their relationship with Allah
They have their struggles we don't know about
They have they want to be upon the best possible level, but they are struggling to get there
Give them a moment respect them speak to them
Don't just ignore them greet them smile at them be
Genuine with them feel within your heart that you know what this is my brother my sister
Don't have an ulterior motive at the back. That is materialistic
Oh that is derogatory or sinful, but do it
Genuinely for the sake of Allah, they will feel the energy in your expression
Subhan Allah
They will feel the energy around you as you walk because they know for a fact this person is legit genuine complete
in the sense that when I say complete I don't mean as an individual perfect, but what I mean is
completely genuine
You can
So this is an example of a job being accepted from a person that you and I
Had it been up to us we would have probably doomed them already
The Prophet SAW Selim makes it to a formal hop above the Allah and Moon as he's reading
The Quran a verse that he always
Had a question regarding an issue that he always had a question Adie
Was answered in that verse. Do you know what it was?
Al Gore a nanny - ha we have not revealed this
Revelation to you o muhammad sallallaahu Selim for it to be a means of your distress
We haven't revealed the rules and regulations to make your life difficult. No there there as a reminder for those
Who are conscious of the Almighty?
It will make your life easier. Yes, there are rules and regulations and a lot of them
But they are there to create discipline within your lives so that you enjoy their life with purity with goodness
with calmness
Immediately he knew this is from the maker. You know why he had that question and many people have the question to this day
Why does Islam have so many rules and so many regulations they had the question a long time back the time of the Prophet?
Peace be upon him in the makkah period when rules and regulations were not even fully set at all most rules came in Medina
So Allah responded and as a result, he says you know what,
He shed a tear. He says take me to Muhammad. Peace. Be upon him
They saw that this man softened up they decided we taking him
they took him to the place where they were and as he's entering he says o
Messenger of Allah
Because you know when he was entering the door he had his there was a bit of blood on him
He had his sword with him and he's coming through the door and comes at NAB
The mapa leave is waiting at the door. It was the house of Allah coming up in outcome Rabia Lohan and on one hand
They know of the prayer that the props are seldom made for the guidance of this man the other hand they also know this guy
Is very very dangerous, so they don't want to harm him, but they want to be prepared in case he harms anyone
so
Hamza says had that homework. He says this is Omar's coming in
Oh Allah, if you intend goodness from this man
Let him accept Islam and if he intends any harm, let it become easy for us to overcome him
Now they are waiting as storms into the room
He says o Messenger of Allah now the minute you say o Messenger of Allah. What does it mean?
You're confirming something
He would have come in and said o Muhammad Allah peace be upon him, but that's his name
But he comes as ser Rasul Allah as soon as he said that everyone was softened because they knew this man's already acknowledging
Here's a Messenger of Allah
Messenger of God, right
He says in the ash hadu an la illaha illallah WA had one niqab to Huaraz. Ooh
He says I bear witness there is none worthy of worship
Besides the maker besides Allah, right and I bear witness you are a messenger. You are a Messenger of God. So panel of Allah and
immediately immediately
There was great
Takbir in the room and everyone was excited and and and subhanAllah things changed. Why do I raise this?
Let's go back to the reason the reason is
When there was an enemy the Prophet peace be upon him made a good dua. It was accepted and the man came
the same thing happened where people
Prayed for those who did bad the cartoons or the videos or anything else people fighting
Muslim women or Muslim men or Islam or anything to do with it? Try the good+ prayer it works
It works
There's so much that has happened in the last few years and so much that is happening on one hand
Like I started this talk by saying you know what there is a lot of negativity
But I want to give you good news
There is the other side of the coin a lot of positive happening a lot of it
How many of us are more conscious of things we do how many of us reach out how many of us were the first time?
We're reaching out to people we never reached out to how many mosques have opened up for open days
Explaining to people what Islam is all about and that it doesn't teach what the small band of people are promoting
That never happened, but it was an opportunity when it arose and people did it. I
Was in Blackburn yesterday and they were explaining to me how the mosques are raising funds
to give to the hospitals
Amounts that are needed for
Various apparatus and beds and a few of these specialized chairs and so on and
Where does it come from with the name of the mosque? It's there
This has been donated by Masjid dissin Masjid that and it's such a lovely feeling to see people
humankind all faiths
Races inclinations
Be they whatever. However they think and here they are at the time of need
Doesn't matter come we're gonna help you
This didn't happen some years back and
I think it's a very good model Subhan Allah for the hospital the mosques collecting money for hospitals Muslims non-muslims
I don't care
I just know that it's going to another human being they're gonna benefit and you know what when we're sick and ill we go and
We benefit as well said that acharya that's what it's called a charity
Continuously providing, you know, the best of charities are those that last a long time they call sadaqa. Jariya
Jharia means it carries on so if you planted the tree
You know what the hadith says every time any human bird
Animal benefits from the shade of it or the fruit of it you get to reward even if you've died
Did you hear that the shade of a tree you get a reward
Who sat under it an old man?
He wasn't even a Muslim a guy or a person or an animal or a dog or a pig
He thought of it because an animal
Yeah
Who got a reward?
the one who the one whose intention when he planted that
Tree was do you know what I'm doing this for the sake of Allah and I'd like everyone and anyone to benefit from it
if that is the case and a tree or a well when you drill a well in the middle of Hawaii where you don't even
Know if Muslims exist for example and people are drinking water from there. It's enough. You're a human being you've done it. You've done it
Amazing
Can I tell you the Muslims are very charitable and right now what's happened?
we've become more and more conscious of these projects and we've been reaching out to people in a way we haven't before
And it's having an impact
So I was telling you this brother from the Netherlands
One day he decided subhanAllah, you know what I and if somebody's dry I promise you
He started looking into Islam every time he looked into it. He felt something he felt something but he was involved in the whole movie
Until the day came and the movie was out and people have seen it and the people died because of it
You know because of how Muslims are
when they want to
Protest something the protests become violent and the violence becomes lethal and that results in the loss of life
But the matter you're dealing with hasn't been solved
This is what I was saying earlier that there is no need to become hooligans. Not at all
You can promote what you want. You can say I'm sad about it. You can say I don't like it
You can discuss it. You can raise it, but do it in a respectful way because that will bring people closer to the truth
They'll understand
So this man says a day came I
Kept on feeling that this is the truth. This is the truth Allah amazing
and you enter the mosque he went once he went again and
He declared his Shahada
I'm talking of very recently just a few years ago a few weeks ago one of his buddies declared Shahada
All on his own and
Here we are becoming so apologetic. We don't even want to have anything to do with Islam
I know people will change their names from Khadija to teacher
Allah forgive us
Not legal names, but I mean, they don't want to be called that anymore. It's a weakness
Proud to be a DJ telling a DJ. Yeah
It's the huh, even teach them how to pronounce it. It's good if they know you're a lovely person
They won't mind calling you. Ha ha religion. It's fine a nigger of good person. You're a lovely person
They wouldn't mind calling you Mohammed. Look at our brother mo Salah for example Mohammed
Just an example. There are so many others
They don't mind calling Mohammed do they they don't?
If they've seen a good side of a person nobody it's human nature, you know, you're not really worried but the thing is
the opportunities that you and I get
to rise and shine
We don't sometimes we show the opposite
So this guy accepted Islam the other guy accepted Islam and I want to tell you something my
objective
Is never to convert someone never?
That's in the hands of the Almighty guidance is in the hands of the Almighty man Elena in that balaam
The Koran says our duty is just to convey a message. Just let you know. Look this is the truth
This is what I believe. This is what it is. You have any questions?
Well, here are the answers that I can provide for these questions, or maybe I'll find out for you and that's it
Leave it at that let them make their minds up they may they may not
this is what the prophets of Salaam was told and these are the verses of the Quran never did Allah say
You know what? You've got to convert the people you've got to revert the people
He always says it's in my hands for in a lake and Bala why they in a nicer o messenger for you
Your duty is to just convey the message. The rest of it is up to us
We'll do it. I'm here today. I
promise you one of my intentions is
to improve myself
To improve myself and thereafter to try and say a word or two that can perhaps
You know make people feel a little bit more motivated they call it a motivational evening
Yeah, it is in all honesty it is you notice the topic we have is just a motivational topic. Yes
It's faith-based, but it's motivation. Mashallah
So I want you never to lose. Hope in the mercy of Allah. Allah is great
No matter what you're going through that will come to pass. It has to come to pass don't lose hope
Keep going if you think you have a problem
There are others who have bigger problems than you when you want solution to your problems
Start helping people who have issues and you'll see how blessed you are
I promise you help people who are in difficulty in hardship help them
Even in a small way, even if it's through a prayer
Even if it's reaching out to them with a smile reach out to them with a smile
It's an act of charity
It will release their stress and that you know, their thoughts negative thoughts just through a smile subhanAllah
So my brothers and sisters that
They told me I was due to speak for half an hour, but I was so motivated that I overshot. I hope it's okay
Okay, can I carry on?
So, mashallah the brother seated here, I've got to tell you something about him
So I just saw him walking in now and I was really happy and I decided to holla. Let me say something
So I was flying I can't remember from where to where maybe he would remember. Where was it?
We were going to Malaysia and
I was so so fortunate to be upgraded myself. You know when you have an upgrade is like a big deal, you know
And I'm sitting in this little place here and I see next to me. There's a brother and I greeted him and I
He didn't know who I was I think I don't think he knew who I was I could tell that and a little while later
We spoke I gave him my number I think if I'm not mistaken, he told me his name he gave me his number and
That's it we left
And
The following day she came to the event
He came to the event in Kuala Lumpur and I saw the brother sitting and I said wow you he said yeah
We met Lester. Yes, we did
He says I told my I think was it your wife or someone?
He told his family that I was with so-and-so they said what you crazy. Can't be, you know
It's amazing and we've become friends ever since although we may not be in touch every day
But it's a good feeling you met someone he left a good impression. I hope I did the same
That's it. I didn't have to come and tell him you know
I'm a big guy and I'm a small guy and whatever. You're nobody. You're just a human being it's okay
People know you don't know you the other day. I was with a group of friends
So somebody came and they said do you know who this is? And the person says no
Imagine how I felt
Was it necessary to say do you know who this is?
Is that what you think I would have liked if they don't know they don't know it's fine
So what not everyone needs to know you I don't but people think that that's what needs to happen
You need to be known you don't
There are some people who are not known on earth, but they're known by the Angels because their good deeds keep going up
Those are the superheroes and there are some people who are well known on earth
But they're not known by the Angels because they don't good deeds going up. The only thing they have is popularity
We need to understand work towards serving and the almighty will do the rest
You could have passed your test without being known and you could have passed your test and it could have been headlines
So what for as long as you did well, and you know that you did your best you said to go
ham dinner
So my brother should run for making it here this evening
Not just you, but every one of us, you know, I was told this event is starting at 6:00 p.m
Is that what you were told?
Okay, I decided to come by quarter to 5:00. Okay?
so I was here at quarter to 5:00 and
That's when we parked the car there and that's when I came in and I told the brothers
You know what? I need to see someone perhaps I'll go and come back
They said yeah, that's fine. We were kicking off at 6:00 drama
And I saw brothers and sisters who came before me before me and the events only kicking off at 6:00
imagine how I felt I
Felt a wow. We're starting off at 6:00. You guys are here already
already
May Allah bless you guys
may Allah bless everyone everyone, you know, I
Want to end with something very interesting. Also another experience that motivated me it moved me
You see everyone should believe that they have a good relationship with Allah or they are trying to improve in their relationship with their maker
Everyone should believe that within
I've been to West Africa
West Africa, if I were to ask you what do you know about West Africa? What do you know about Nigeria?
What do you know about Sierra Leone
Ghana Gambia
Liberia
What do you know about these places? I don't think many of you would know much and if you did
Can I ask you a question would it be positive or negative can you say
Purgative okay, so
Do you know what I
Felt so so
Rejuvenated
When I saw the mosques
packed and
I saw the fragile the early morning prayer with no space and
I saw people
Speaking
you know the Quranic language and
I saw the young and the old I
promise you I
spoke to a group and I they told me to
Give them some naseeha and I told them don't miss your prayers your five daily prayers must you know, what they told me
Talk about something else in our community. Nobody nobody misses the Salah
I
promise you I felt like I was so weak myself and I'm thinking you know what we all
Hope that our place in paradise is reserved. I swear we will see those guys way ahead of us
They're way ahead of us
Recently, I saw a clip of little children from Benin
Before Salah to the fetcher and they have no electricity
they were sitting around the fire sharing the Koran and
becoming half way boys and girls
3:00 in the morning and they said this happens every day. Have you guys seen that clip a
Lot of you may have what some of you may have I've seen that clip
amazing
Amazing and then I think to myself ha ha. Do you know what I can do better with my Quran? Come on?
These are little people
What are they doing? They trying to please the Almighty their resources are small little few. They don't even have technology
they don't even have a tap from a tap for water and
They're so happy. They will share a little drama
Send me dirty water to make goo-goo and do whatever else and they're not really worried about food
the small little piece of bread is shared by two people and so many other things I've seen this with my eyes and
I tell myself we are so fortunate, but we are still a long way to go
however
Don't lose hope in your circumstances given your situation
all you need to promise the almighty's you're going to try to be a better person every day and
To become better and not to become worse. May Allah strengthen me and strength of all every one of us
So that's the reason why I just fell in love with that part of the world because it's something totally different on
One hand, we've heard negatives if you read the papers and you follow the media about a country such as Nigeria
They will only have negatives they will only tell you how many people
Robbed how many other people and what else happened and everything else but they won't tell you how many?
millions and billions of people will not billions, but I mean a lot people
Lovely individuals who really care and they really have a heart made of gold
My travels have definitely woken me up now allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala grant every one of us goodness may Allah open our doors
I see brother. Oh, he is already to my left you see his moved here coming in for the kill
Allah bless you. Oh, he wants to he's now pretending like he wants to give me water
So is that like a halfway break we can go on for another hour? Oh
There goes but my brothers and sister shook on the itch Allah, we will be having a dinner as far as I know
I'm gonna try and meet every one of you on your way out in sha allah. There is a book for every single person
we will try and meet as many people as we can and
perhaps
Inshallah, we may not get an opportunity to speak much because if there are a few hundred people a minute with each would mean 500
Minutes, right?
But inshallah, I'll try. I'll try my best at least at least to breathe
That little moment it will inspire me more than anyone else and I'm so happy to see you guys once again
Thank you so much Allah bless you guys and I hope and pray that this can be a turning point in our lives
Even if it's small turning point
But at least something that we can take home and we can feel that connection with Allah because I promise you
It's very very real if I were to tell you I love you guys for the sake of Allah
There's no way that I'd be telling a lie
It's so true. I feel the connection
I actually feel the genuineness
I mean you wouldn't have just come here if you didn't feel that there was reason to come
so I hope that we can all go back and spread the good message and
You can see I don't even want to get off the stage
But I have to do you have a Salaam alaikum alaikum dear brothers and sisters
