Why is this happening? All of the things that happen on this planet that are negative happened from the sins of humanity. It's as simple as that.

Human beings. We're there's two types of humans, there's bees and there's wasps And you choose which group you want to be in bees are beneficial wasps are harmful but Allah created a world with bees and wasps he is little Jelani the lord of the bees, the lord of the Wasps dhul, jalali Majesty. when he Quran and the lord of the bees, He's the Lord of both the bees.

So I please when Shelton plays with you I see rotary engine died in Malaysia Malaysia Matco Fran, let you bury him. I can. That's the Sofia. Now in another Hadith. The prophet Allah is the name said in. Obtaining a day assigned. A Harsha are Abu Musa, al-ashari. We fight the mushriks. Now the pilot. They were fighting them. They defend themselves. You said we kill them every year, some die. The prophets. Elijah said, I'm said laserbeak uttered a shriek in like in

October a boom. Bada bada, boom, bada. It's not going to be killing from the music, the king, some of you will kill others. Now, look at what he said, how'd they react to the Rajah, rojo with an army, he'll kill his neighbor, who killed his cousin without Kiribati and a relative. A color bottle. Come ya rasulullah. Do we have intellects? The the sahaba were intelligent people. They said, do we have intellectual rasulullah? What did he say? La, No, brains twins are all cool accessory.

That examine the people of that time. The majority of them are without brains. What left and they'll leave people have that, you know, weightless people without gravity, gravitas means weighty, you know, where alignment is suckling, your gin and ends were called Fuck Elaine. Because we're ready. We're ready physically which holds us down to the Earth. If you're too light, you just fly up, you know, like the Gin just move up gas. But we Allah made us fuckin

chicken, right? He made Us weighty spiritually and physically. But if we lose our spiritual weight, our physical weight, has no meaning In fact, all we're doing is space. That's all the prophets. Alighted said him said, if you're oh Maura are tyrants and your agnya are book, Allah. Your acne Arabic Allah and your omura are tyrants. So you're rich or misers.

Your mirrors are are tyrants. He said, but milord hydraulic on minbari me and Aria that to be under the Earth is better than being over the Earth. This is our tribulation. This is our time Allah put it in this time. He knows why he put his in his time but the only time I ever saw the prophet asked for death. In all the hadees that I've read and all the doers of the Prophet that I've read. I only saw one time that he asked Allah to take him.

He said. In one, he gives the choice if it's better for me than take me, right? But this Hadith he specifically says and he said it after every prayer according to one rewire He said. Allahumma inni, has Rockefeller. Hi Rod. Let me do good things, what Terkel Moon carrots and let me avoid bad things. Give me Tarkin Mantra. Well my sake, let me love poor people. Give Me Love of poor people. Why?

Because they're an agenda. Tahajjud tell Jenna to will not the Jenna and nor got into a debate. The Jenna said the nurse said. I've got look at these tyrants. You know I've got all these tyrants, they were big people in the earth, they ruled, they had power. And Jenna says, what do I have? I have all these weak people. Poor people oppressed people And Allah said, the nod is my punishment for those tyrants and the Jenna is my reward for those patient ones. The prophet said, can I tell you

the people of Jannah? He said could load bar, Ethan water bath. Every week or pressed. Those are the people of Jannah. So right now, Muslims people think we're causing the problems. Seriously, it's amazing. How shall I just had to be so pleased. It please has made these people think we are causing the problem. The Muslims are suffering more, 20 people died. Yesterday in a, in Cairo, in a restaurant from a bomb thrown into it. There's over a million dead.

Iraq. He's a Million Dead, Iraq. He's even Tony Blair admitted that we open the door. There's no Dash without the American invasion of Iraq. All right, something horrible has been Unleashed on this planet, but unfortunately, we have a lot of angry resentful Muslim. And when I say a lot, it's significantly insignificant but we are one point seven billion people. So even our in significant numbers are significant. So you might say, there's only four hundred thousand. That's the latest.

Estimate of these people. There's only 400, that's a lot of people and then you look at their sympathizers. They they estimate there about 15 million. This is, these are estimates Allah Adam, but that's a lot of people that is a gross misunderstanding of our religion because anybody that can tell me, as long as a crew thing, I would tell you, you are a liar. Anybody can tell me that, the prophet was cruel, I would tell the you are a liar. Our Prophet. What low?

Kunta found? One febby Mara met him in Allah. Heal into the home by the mercy of Allah. You have a soft heart. What? I couldn't afford one rally that he'll be learned for boom. And how dica if you were hard-hearted if you were harsh you would see them fleeing. Look at the, the look at these people and you see if everybody's flocking around them, you look at everybody fleeing. From these people. And if you think and Allah and what happened downside, I don't know.

You know we have to these first of all, we're dealing with the Demonic element, really? There's clearly a demonic, we believe in the gin and we believe in the Unseen. CNN, doesn't know about that. So they're not going to be reporting about iblees his activities, right? That's the unfortunate thing. They used to believe in the devil. In fact, one of their Theologian said, the biggest trick that the devil ever pulled. Hold on. This civilization was making

them think he didn't exist. But unfortunately, if police isn't doesn't make the news. Abdullah makes the news Hunan makes the news, say it makes the news a lot of you have those names and and some of you have, you know, you fit the profile and then they show up. They have like they had somebody dressed like Osama Bin Laden in their minds saying. Yeah, he was a friend of mine, but I'm, I'm a peaceful Muslim for the guy in Kentucky. He look just like who's Ahmad

bin ladin. This is the mentality, we're dealing with now. We have a responsibility as Muslims in this country, either you pack up and leave. That's an option. He Java is an option. Seriously people can pack up and leave. Good luck Syria, Libya. Yemen Iraq Kashmir chechnya Philippines. I mean, there's a lot of options here, but we have to deal with the fact that we live in this country. I'm from this.

Jion on my mother's side all the way back 1764, they came from Ireland. So I go way back, I have a great grandfather fought in the Revolutionary War So I've been here a long time, at least my ancestors have some of you are new but this is a land of immigrants. The only people that can honestly say that they're, you know, they're from here are what they call Native Americans. And they're not even from here, they're from Mongolia. So everybody made Hegira here. At some point.

And, and and migration is a Son of God on this planet. Birds migrate traditional borders were open. People should be able to go where they want. That's a human, right? But we have borders now and and Allah says, Allah fear, Allah will appear on. Russell. What would a demon come? We have to obey the law. Anybody that comes into this country and I said this three days before 9/11. They didn't report that they reported something else, but I

said three days before 9/11. In Philadelphia, I have it on tape. I said, anybody that comes into this country with a Visa, or is living under the law of this land and they commit a criminal act, or terrorist act. The prophets alive Saddam is against them because this is our religion. You have to obey the law of the land that you're in. And the prophet was a law-abiding when he was in Mecca, he was a law-abiding citizen. You look at his Sierra in Mecca.

He didn't have terrorist cells. He didn't have anybody assassinated in Mecca, he was oppressed, but he was a citizen of that and daughter. Ned were the unanimity in Mecca and the only time you don't obey them is if it's a mafia to Allah but nobody's know Americans putting a gun in your hand saying drink alcohol or eat pork like they did in Spain in Andalusia. Hey they used to do that to the Muslims. If you go to Spain today they have this big egg. Meet of pork.

And when you come into the little shops in understeer, they cut off a piece of the pork and they offer you. I they do that because that was a test. Hundreds of years later, they still do it because it's tradition for them, but they used to test. Muslims have some pork and if they didn't eat it, they would report them to the Inquisition. We're not in that situation. Now, the other thing, one of the benefits of this and trust me. The only way you get strong is resistance.

If you want to build your muscles, you have to have resistant. Allah puts resistance to make us stronger, spiritually and physically. Everything that's happened to us as good as you when the younger and MonaVie number hula, hula ho Gaya, it's all good. That's a Hadith in sahih Muslim. So however Romy everything that's happening says is good. If we have finally up in, if we have the eye of certainty, if you're caught up in Dunya, oh,

my journey is not looking good. That then that's another thing. That's not ticklin Allah. That's another problem. That's a disease of the heart. The unsettling state that the Muslims are in. In this country, this is a good thing. It's about time Muslim, start waking up, you've been here for a long time. What have you done? Who have you who've you told out there who you are? Where are all the amazing? Free clinics not run down in Los Angeles or one over here.

Where's the Muslim hospital where we treat anybody? That comes you don't need insurance because Muslims traditionally did that. We in this country the Muslim Physicians are worth several billion dollars. Several billion dollars. Where our institutions, where are colleges? Where's our television station? The Mexicans have dozens of television stations doesn't and when we do these things, we usually do them. So poorly. Nobody's going to watch. So we have to wake up. But, trust me.

You have to. Accept what comes to you with intelligence but you have to accept what comes to you, Allah is waking this on my up and we're still snoring and it keeps happening until people wake up. You break the Covenant with Allah. Yeah. Probably lay off of it. Yeah for the left. Yeah. Father you break the Covenant with Allah. Then if Allah removes his, providential care, you have no one to blame.

But yourself man was your desire on Talia Matilda woman wedgie, degraded Erica selalu, Manila NASA if you find good, thank Allah. And if you find anything other than good, don't blame anybody, but yourself. Because that's that's the mishap of Islam. You want a medal with Islam? That's the men have of Islam. The meth habit of Islam is Put them under her that way. Why is this happening? Why did we lose her head? Where the people of Truth? We were with the prophet bull

woman, our Indian food cecum. That's the Harbour, the best custom Hydra organization s. Have we disobeyed the prophet those people on the, on the mountain that abandon their there for booty for Dunya, they abandoned their their place. And they lost they had. And they even the prophet was bloodied. He lost part of his tooth. He had the chain mail in his cheek. The place where his blood dropped? Still smells like mosque. I've been there.

The smell is amazing. After 1400 years, you can still get the whiff of that from his blood, that was spilt there, but that's our Province Delight is to him.

So, if Muslims don't obey Allah and obey his messenger, I'll fear Allah, while they are rasulullah mean, come as long as they don't tell you to disobey Allah, and that's any government you're under, whether it's a Muslim government, whether it's a Christian government, like in have a shot, were they having terrorist organizations planning to assassinate?

Fascinate and a Joshi that kaffir that trinitarian kaffir No, they when they spoke them under the house went there, and said, all they say this and that about your religion, right? When the prophets companions went there and Java are spoke. He didn't say, yeah, you're a catheter because you say in the law, that, who Siddhartha, you said it? No, he said here's what our religion teaches, he didn't

attack his religion. He said here's what our religion teaches and the Jazz, he had tears coming down his eyes. This is the hikma. Our Prophet never created any terrorist organization. He never had cells. You never had secret meetings at night. His his his home is completely transparent, we even know what was revealed in the house. We know the domestic disputes. We know I seye, we know about the honey, we know about zeinab, we know about have son open book, that's our profit slice

him. He had nothing to hide, nothing to be ashamed of And if you're practicing his faith, you have nothing to hide and you have nothing to be ashamed of. And I'll just conclude by saying one thing. This Oma historically, is the single most extraordinary civilization in human history. No civilization, has the record that this Omaha, you have nothing to be ashamed about of your father's your ancestors, but we should be ashamed about

how we represent them today. The people that built Taj Mahal. If these guys got to India that blow up Taj Mahal because it's a tomb. They'd blow up Taj Mahal. I would have been better. Salah. I feel cool Cody. Hardware store federal law. They were Alhamdulillah alhamdulillah. This is a very educated place and as, you know, you have neighbors, you have people that you work with at your jobs, they're buying large, good people.

This is a reality. Then this civilization has been trying very hard to overcome its historical. Sins of racism. They're trying. They're not there yet but they're trying there's a lot of people trying Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala says well, my cannot uh Buca Leo helicopter corabeth woman. What'd I do, huh? Allah will not destroy a people for volume bail. Bowie says it should work here. if amongst them are people that are trying to rectify, And there's a lot of people that try to do that.

That's something that we have to recognize about this culture. But these people are frightened, they're scared of us just like Muslims in the Muslim world are scared of the Americans.

They are, they're scared of drones, they're scared of bombs and Strikes. There are scare the Americans here, they're afraid of us. Because they have been brainwashed into thinking, this is a religion of hatred of terrorism, we have a responsibility, we have responsible, and unfortunately, when events like this happen and Aloha, I don't know what happened.

But when events like what happened in San Bernardino, where it's somebody who's been working for several years at a place, everybody knows him even the Muslim say he didn't appear to be radical and suddenly he goes ballistic, then people start thinking maybe holum, you know, he seems normal but Look at that guy down there, you know, they're afraid and you have to recognize that do, you know? So it's important for us to be aware of the time we're living in. I received something the other

day. Somebody was at a place where Bill O'Reilly was staying. And Bill O'Reilly was having dinner, and there was a Muslim family in a table next to him, and they start having a debate. Should we reach out to him and just asked him to And some of them said it's a waste of time. He won't do anything is no benefit and so I'm said, no we should do them. So they they got a desert and they send it over to his table just as a gift.

And then he acknowledged him the next day they saw him again and they decide to approach him and one of them sat and had a long conversation with him about being a Muslim, and how what Islam is the after the San Bernardino incident. When he mentioned it, he mentioned this man beat at the table and he He said, unfortunately, this taints

millions of good law-abiding. Americans, even people that have horrible track records if it's Fab in the teehee assen, Listen to the words of Allah. In fact been the T here Asin. Don't return a wrong with another wrong. That's true. Just that would say yet and say yeah, to mathura women have. I was like, aha for a Jew and a law. That's true. Allah says you can redress wrong with Justice, which he called a

say. Yeah, it's not a say, yeah, but it looks like it because it's harsh and it's intercom. But he said woman, I thought whilst laughs, uh, jalawla right. But people forget that, they forget all those verses in the Quran that tell us and and what did our Prophet do? That's his that's his sooner. You want to follow the Sunnah of the prophet? Reach out to your enemies because that's what he did, he

sat with them. When, when his wife's mother came to Medina, she wouldn't sit with her because she was a mushrik she wouldn't sit with her and the verse was revealed Lan, how come along and then leaving them your costume 15, her own family was fighting, but this was a woman who was a noncombatant, she wasn't fighting you and Allah said, she's your mother, bring her in treat her with bitter. This is our religion, its viability hacen under the

weather, lady been equipping. Know, I don't know, what do you know how mean? Then the one with who you have animosity toward suddenly, he's like your best friend. Well that's a assuming Rock Hitler. Don't despair of the grace of Allah because the people that hate Islam. Most according to the prophet, I should do next car. He attended Islam become the best supporters of Islam. That's a Hadith. So don't think because they hate Islam.

Everybody's looking at death. Everybody's looking at death, one of the rockness that we had is the study of Quran that came out that Harper perennial published. Hopefully many, many Americans will buy that and see an intelligent religion and a beautiful scripture that calls people to these high ideals. This is this is these are these are great blessings in the midst of the tribulation.

So no VI, not Bella Moldavia, like Imam and majority said we're in the midst of tribulation in the Dunya but we have the well-being of Allah alhamdulillah. So may Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala Make us lighthouses that show people what what true Islam is may Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala

Elevate our community. May Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala restore our intellects for those who have lost them may Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala put the plots of those who plot against this religion made a fall back on them may Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala protect us from their evil. May Allah guide those who are ignorant amongst them who want good may Allah guide them and those who know what Islam is and yet our Sorting it may Allah deal with them as he deals with

people that are evil. May Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala, protect this country and and protect the Muslims in this country and protect the people that we live. Amongst may we be good neighbors to them. May Allah subhana without a protect, our women and give them courage in the face of these calamities and protect our children may Allah. Subhanahu wa'ta'ala restore, our brothers and sisters in other places to better times.

Malala, restore security to the Muslim lands and and and give them succour and Repose and help and may Allah give us your opinion our hearts to know that nothing will afflict us except what Allah has decreed for us. May Allah give us the European of even Abbas. May Allah give us the the sincerity of those early people and shall and may Allah forgive all of us. Forgive this protect this Masjid. And all our Masjid, these places of worship and protect the synagogues, and protect the

churches and protect the temple. Bowls. These are the things that we were sent to protect as a community come from Hydra. I'm not alone - then ask you came out for all of humanity, may Allah restore these truths to our hearts and to our community in a lot more of an antidepressant, He commands to Justice and charity yet model.

But I did what I sent away ETA either probably and how and in fact when one car, he prohibits Founders and dishonorable things he then handed faccia it one monk up well, buying And aggression and oppression. He forbids these things to aggress against people may Allah realize these truths in our hearts. Yeah, at the cumulative, come to the Quran. He is exhorting us that perhaps we might. Be reminded akuto. Cody had a host of federal law. Do recommend this item. You see me up in Missoula,
