Bismillah Ar-Rahmaan Ar-Raheem. Alhumdulillah. Peace and blessings on Muhammad (sallalahu alaihi wa sallam), his Noble Companions and Family. Brothers and Sisters, Ibaad Allahi Ikhwaana… Audio on http://www.islamicc 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/ 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 … We are here to build this world … (Surah Hud verse 61) Now- explain this to the 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/ 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! 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/ 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 … 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 … 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 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 This khutbah was presented by Imam Mohamed Asi on the occasion of Jum'ah on 22May 2009 on the sidewalk of Al Munafiqeen |
