AL MUNAFIQEEN – PART 2

We live in a time in which we find that the people who are supposed to guide/teach us with the correct information are not willing to do so; in some instances, this is attributable to sheer ignorance, i.e. they simply don't know, but we think this is not the overwhelming majority of cases. We think that most of these people who are in a position to express the truth and the facts and to expose the lies and the fallacies can identify what is good from what is bad and what is right from what is wrong, (but) the problem is that they are not willing to express their minds whish are supposed to be influenced by Allah and His Prophet and the issues of the day. So, what do they do? They recede into a shell/enclave of what they consider to be safe information, i.e. information which (after they express it), they feel they are safe and no-one is going to come down against them- this is the nature of the time that we are in. (They say) "we are only responsible for our own time. Don't hold us responsible for thousands or years ago and don't hold us responsible for the next generation/century, i.e. we are responsible for the time-frame and place-frame that we are in", therefore, on this day and time of Taqwa, we try as much as is humanly possible to discharge our responsibilities in providing the truth to the public, where some of our colleagues have been deficient/disabled from doing so. Let us remind ourselves of Allah's power-performance in our social/global lives and let us step out of our individuality prison that we have been locked into for so long, and take a deep breath and fresh air in looking at what has to be done on the scale of life/existence/the world and universe- we belong on that order of things, not in the phobic self where we have been located with the measured and truncated information that come our way. Allah says  

It is Allah who has engrained/sprouted you in this world… (Surah Hud verse 61)

This tears down those barriers that are artificially imposed on us. He didn't say Huwa Alladhi ansha'akum fi qawmikum- He has brought you into your own people because in the free sense of existence and being, we don't belong to an ethnic tribe or a Nationalist collectivity; we belong to an expansive world into which we were born, from which we were created and for which we are created. But, because we have a structured body of information that wants us to think "inside the box", when this ayah is quoted/voiced, we don't feel/breathe the range of it because there are barriers and impositions- "Oh- you have a citizenship; you need a visa!" This is not the way Allah created this world. This world was created without these artificial political barriers.

He has sprouted you or given you rise out of this world and has tasked you with the responsibility of building it… (Surah Hud verse 61)

When an average Muslim reads an ayah like this, he doesn't get this expansive meaning. /why? Because his mind has been tied and his thinking ability limited and there's a distance to go between where we are with our deficient thinking and what Allah is telling us. Allah is telling us this whole world is our responsibility, and this cuts across ideological, political, religious and whatever other barriers there are- we're responsible. Allah says

… We are here to build this world … (Surah Hud verse 61)

Now- explain this to the individuals that we have who listen to khutbahs every week or who out of the force of tradition go to weekly ceremonies most of (whom) have a nationalist/cultural/sectarian content to them and we find there's a far cry from what Allah is instructing us to do and be and where we are in our wrapped up, smothering, suffocating individual/ethnic/nationalist/sectarian selves- none of this has any validity if Allah is communicating with us and we understand what He is saying to us! This pleases those who have the combination of power and authority in today's world. They stand guards on our inhibitions, limitations and frustrations and they don't want us to break out of our cages that we have built for ourselves by the accumulation of traditions, customs and conventions. We have people who are in the highest offices in the world who stand guard, making sure that we remain divided and making it impossible for us to step out of our individual selves and become the universal subjects of Allah that we are meant to be. Dare anyone run afoul of official authorities, especially when it comes to this matter! What happened to those, who in the time of the Pharoah acknowledged the validity, legitimacy and truth of Musa (alaihi salaam) and they by-passed worldly authority? They weren't considering anymore the superpower status of the Pharoah of the time and they expressed their belief, conviction and adherence to Musa and the Sustainer of Musa.

They said we have committed to the Sustainer of Musa. (Surah Al A'raf verse 122)

This annoyed/vexed the superpower authority of that time, and what was the response from the highest authority of the land?

How dare you commit yourselves! … (Surah Al A'raf verse 122)

These are the specialists/advisors or the cream of the crop of modernistic society- when they saw the truth, they never had any second-thoughts/reservations/fear- forthwith, they committed themselves to the Sustainer and Lord of Musa. This troubled the authority around. This is what the ayah is saying.

How dare you commit yourselves to him before I give you permission to do so… (Surah Al A'raf verse 122)

This is how the superpowers stand sentries/guards on the parameters of phobic thinking/feelings that we have. Anyone who thinks of him/herself before/after thinking of him/herself as a Muslim in this universal position that we are in is serving the Pharoah and is not serving Allah. The only thing we want is freedom to express ourselves. They speak about freedom all over the place, and (take a) look at how much of freedom we have?! We don't even have a freedom to go into the Masjid. We know as a matter of guidance and guidelines from Allah that there is no-one who is going to be forced into Islam- it doesn't exist.

There is no coercion when it comes to the matter of an overwhelming conviction or commitment to Allah… (Surah Al Baqarah verse 256)

When you choose your life program, you are free to choose what you want. This is an integral part of the communiqué that come to us from Allah, but these people who have the power and authority to plan 10/50/100 years into the future know what we are about. The irony of it is that these selective elitists know what we are about and we have the Islamic scholars in their majority who know what we are about and then we have the overwhelming number of Muslims in the world who, (because of these two groups of people), don't know what we are all about. There's a common denominator between those who are in the highest offices of kufr and shirk in the world and are plotting and strategizing against us and the Muslim speakers who are hiding in a cloak of relative silence about this affair and the victim of those who are planning our future and those who remain silent about our future from among us that has resulted where we are today. We have some Muslims who saw the light 20/30 years ago, and now they want to tell us that we have matured and are now more reasonable and thoughtful. No Muslim is going to be able to do that when all the information that is brought to our attention has to do with our private parts, bedrooms and kitchens! Zionism is not in the bedroom/sink/commode! Our minds are not going to grasp these responsibilities if we remain the recipients of information pertaining to the etiquette of Islam. There are budgets- we dare say in the hundreds of billions of dollars- that are invested in us remaining in the prison of our own sects. Do those of you who consider yourselves Sunni before Muslims of Shi'is before Muslims  hear that!  There are budgets/expenditures/treasuries galore that want you to think/feel that way; when are we going to expand our thoughts to put behind us these divisions that feed the hostile policies of our common enemies? It is said that the current President of Egypt in the early 1960's was an officer in the Egyptian armed forces and he was sent to Algeria. (You have to rebuild a little); at that time, there was a state of war between Morocco and Algeria concerning the Western Sahara (in) what is called the Polisario Issue. This officer – Muhammed Hosni Mubarak- along with other officers were sent to that zone of war between Morocco and Algeria to help the people of the Western Sahara to become free of the Moroccan Kingdom and he was caught and imprisoned by the Moroccan Government. In 1965, the King of Morocco, (the father of the current King- Al Malak Al Hassan), received an invitation to visit Cairo from the President of Egypt at the time- Jamal Abdel Nasser. When the King went to Egypt, he brought prisoners of war with him to Egypt  as a gesture of goodwill to the Egyptian Government and one of those prisoners of war was the current President of Egypt. What happened? Was he at the time crazy? He was an officer who was caught trying to help people decide their political future in the Western Sahara and now he has become a modern/thoughtful/shrewd leader. Can people see? 30 years ago there was an Islamic Revolution and there were people at the war front fighting for political/social/ideological self determination. How many in the ranks of those people look at their past the same way the President of Egypt looks at his past? He looks at himself 50 years ago and says "I was immature/reckless. That was the revolutionary surge in my life; that's a period in my past and now I have more experience and diplomacy." What does that experience and diplomacy mean? That you make your sajdah in the mihrab of Zionism and Imperialism? Do we have these types now who are in the making who want to convince us and the Muslim public that there is no longer an Imperialist or Zionist Shaytaan, especially when it come to the Israeli thieves and war criminals. This is where it is all at! This is how people are judged. Those people who are opposed to Zionism are (referred to as) "the crazies of the past!"; or "these are people who really haven't developed a civilized approach to conflict resolution." That's how they speak. Where are we in all of this? (Do) we suffer from amnesia? (Have) we lost our memory? These Zionist/Yahud didn't come from nowhere! They didn't land in Palestine without a previous history! They didn't come from another planet! We lived with them and they lived with us; what are we going to do? (Are we) going to throw our history away and say it never happened? Just to reminder you of one chapter of that history very quickly…  

 

The Prophet of Allah/?Islamic State in Al Medinah had to pay diyah/blood money because one of the individuals belonging to this power structure of Islam in Al Medinah killed an individual belonging to the hostile powers against the Islamic State in Al Medinah and it was due upon the Muslims to pay. The Muslims were poor, so according to the document of Al Medinah, the Yahudi residents/citizens of AL Medinah were going to have to share in paying what is due upon the Islamic treasury, so the Prophet of Allah himself went to Bani An Nadhir on the outskirts of Al Medinah and he reminded them of their civic/legal/constitutional responsibilities i.e. look- we signed an agreement together and this has happened and we are all going to have to share the responsibility. You're going to have to pay your share of this. They told him Ya Aba Al Qasim-  we will not frustrate you; you will be pleased with our performance, but give us some time to discuss this. Then, they went into their secret meeting. The Prophet was there and some of the companions of the Prophet were with him, and then they said, (to use today's language), this is the best time to take out this man; this opportunity is not going to present itself again. Here he is- he's on our territory, and we can get rid of him- who's going to do that? Who's going to volunteer to get rid of this man? And someone volunteered. Allah's Prophet was informed in those dangerous minutes of their intentions to kill Allah's Prophet. What they said (was) it's a simple thing. Someone take a large rock; ascends the wall- because Allah's Prophet was sitting next to the wall- and drops this rock on him. Brothers and sisters- this is our history. These are the same people right now who are dropping bombs- illegal warfare- killing civilians, babies, women and senior folks without any compunctions. They don't have any second thoughts about this. These are the types of people we are speaking about. They want this history forgotten and the plans that they have dictate that no Muslim public speaker is to open up these issues. We can understand them- they are the criminals and they want to hide their crimes. They killed Prophets and we have that information fresh from Allah- what are we going to do?

Do you commit to some of Allah's book and do you reject or deny other parts of Allah's book? (Surah Al Baqarah verse 85)

 (Are we going to) say to ourselves "we don't read these ayaat and we don't understand what Allah is telling us?!" What do you want to be? Do you want to be the neo-Yahudis/Israelis? You take part of the Qur'an that suits you, and the other part that has global responsibilities, ideological contents and military duties "doesn't really go with civilized behavior?! We'll just skip over these ayaat and Surahs in the Qur'an!" Allah speaks to Bani Nadhir who were contemplating and in the motion of executing a plan to kill Allah's Prophet- they have to answer to that! If we had Muslims who speak with one voice and are capable of bringing these facts into today's world, we'd tell them face-to-face and eye-to-eye "come and answer these questions that we've been carrying for 1,400 years; not since 1948." We have a history. (Ask them to) "answer these questions. What's wrong!" But they won't! It was Banu An Nadhir that was strategizing. Brothers and sisters- if you put yourself in the mentality of Yahud it's not easy; (they figure) "look, these Muslims now have taken the historical divine trust from us, in other words, God has abandoned us and now He's given that responsibility that we have carried to these Muslims!" When Bani Isra'eel were five/ten individuals – The Children of Isra'eel/Ya'qub (alaihi as salaam)- figured out that their own father was abandoning them in favor of one of their brothers, their thoughts turned criminal! How do you expect them to behave when they think (that) God Himself has abandoned them?! That's what we have in today's world; that's why they drop bombs on us (and) we are dehumanized. You can kill millions of Muslims and you've done nothing to appear in the court of law- that's how they're behaving.

… Allah has confronted them from a direction and area that they did not factor in or were not thinking about (Surah Al Hashr verse 2)

If we were to understand these ayaat today, because these ayaat are not frozen in time, when Yahudi sense that they have political and military power, they will repeat their folly and mistakes. Ever since the Israeli/Zionist/Yahud of today usurped the Holy Land, they had a policy of relying on the parameter states around the Arab countries- those were Turkey, Iran and Ethiopia. They were working on nationalism in these three areas against (what to them is called) a common enemy, so the populations around were pincered between an Israeli occupation in the middle and these states around. Inside this same body of opposition to Zionism, the Muslims in the Arab countries relied on minorities- whether they were religious/ethnic- Allah is telling us in this ayah

… Allah has confronted them from a direction and area that they did not factor in or were not thinking about… (Surah Al Hashr verse 2)

These Yahudis spent 60 years trying to secure nationalisms and sectarianisms that will work for them; they didn't think that these areas were going to turn on them. They relied on Persian nationalism against Arabian nationalism. Allah approached them from an area that they thought was secure. Iran and Turkey- (take a) look at what's happening in today's world! The two areas that they thought they secured. Allah is coming to them from these two areas that they thought was secure. They relied on minorities- the Shi'is in Lebanon are a minority.

… and He has struck terror into their hearts … (Surah Al Hashr verse 2)

 Reports are saying today that "when these Yahudis are sure that the Islamic State has harnessed nuclear capabilities and Hizbullah has become the multiplied fighting force that it was three summers ago in 2006, there are 800,000 Israelis who have obtained non-Israeli passports, basically American and European passports and are ready to leave."

… Allah has thrown terror into their hearts; they are destroying their own dwellings- whether they are civilian or military- with their own hands and with the hands of the committed Muslims that are appearing from areas that they never calculated… (Surah Al Hashr verse 2)

 

Brothers and sisters, committed Muslims…

One of the areas, (this is in light of what we have just said), that remains a stronghold and stranglehold for these Zionist/Israeli/Yahud is the Fifth column i.e. the Munafiqeen that we are inflicted with. They rely on Kings, Presidents, Heads of State and Rulers, especially the ones who are within the House of Islam to do the dirty work for them. We know that not many or barely anyone says it in a khutbah on Friday, but their number one line of Munafiqeen- just like the number one line of Munafiqeen in the time of Allah's Prophet was ibn Ubayy ibn Sallul and they used to confer behind the scenes with them, they are re-enacting those details be re-enacting behind the scenes with the Munafiqeen who are now in control of Makkah and Al Medinah who speak to the Muslims in one language and who speak to their Zionist and Imperialist bosses in another language.

And if they encounter those who are in fact committed to Allah they say but we are also committed to Allah, but when they are in private company with their Shayateen, they say we are with you; we take very lightly our relationships with these committed Muslims; we mock at this relationship with these committed Muslims. Allah mocks/belittles them and has them extend their ploy in this dark age of theirs in the abuse of this excessive power that they perceive to have. (Surah Al Baqarah verse 14-15)

When these Munafiqeen of today who occupy Makkah and Al Medinah are in seclusion with their Zionist and Imperialist Shayateen/demons, they say to them "but of course, we are with you; we take very lightly what we say to the committed Muslims." They communicate very effectively with both sides and the Muslims who are supposed to know better take their word and money! Is it any surprise that we have been marking time and going nowhere because of the spell that these opportunistic Munafiqeen have and that is why liberation has been delayed and deferred- because we don't have free souls and free minds that can look at these issues in the context and scope that they are in. You should go to sleep when you go to the Masajid; there are programs for you there to either entertain you or to reinforce the points/issues of division. We pray for the speedy and immediate destruction of the power base of these Munafiqeen who have the history of pointing the finger of kufr against the Muslims and raising the hand of support for the real Kafirs and Mushriks who they describe as Ahl Al Kitaab- what a wonderful service to Zionism and Imperialism when virtually all Muslims are Kafirs and virtually all governments in the Judeo-Christian context are Ahl Al Kitab. When is the Muslim mind going to mature and when is the Muslim conscience going to have the confidence to speak, explain, discuss and expound on these issues?

 

This khutbah was presented by Imam Mohamed Asi on the occasion of Jum'ah on 22May 2009 on the sidewalk of Embassy Road in Washington D.C. The Imam previously led the daily and Jum'ah prayers inside the Masjid. His speeches were revolutionary and thought provoking, and eventually irritated and threatened the Middle-East Ambassadors who control the Masjid. Finally, the Imam, his family, and other Muslims faithful to the course of Islam were forced out, into the streets. This khutbah originates from the sidewalk across the street from the Islamic Center, currently under siege.
