Dan vakifa

0:00 O believers,

0:01 when the call to prayer is made on Friday,

0:04 leave off trade,

0:05 and go to perform the prayer...

0:08 That is better for you, if you only knew.

0:10 And when the prayer is finished, then disperse in the land...

0:14 Seek Allah's bounty,

0:16 and remember Allah much so that you may achieve what you desire.

0:22 Respected congregation,

0:26 I live,

0:29 Many rightfully call it

0:31 difficult

0:32 and unusual.

0:35 A time in which we almost daily witness painful events,

0:40 we see heavy scenes

0:43 and hear news that disturbs our hearts and disrupts our

0:50 Middle East.

0:52 Conflicts and suffering have been ongoing for months.

0:56 Among those affected are our brothers, the Muslims.

1:02 One by one, countries are going through devastation,

1:06 weakness

1:07 in trials.

1:12 Where is the Ummah of Muhammad (s.a.w.s)?

1:17 Why does it act divided,

1:20 powerless

1:22 and indifferent?

1:25 Why is there no brotherly solidarity?

1:30 As if Muslims have forgotten the message of Allah's Messenger Muhammad (s.a.w.)

1:35 and the warning,

1:37 it is unbecoming for a believer to humiliate themselves,

1:40 It is not appropriate for a believer to voluntarily submit to humiliation.

1:47 And as if we have surrendered,

1:49 waiting for things to resolve themselves,

1:51 or for someone else to solve our problems.

1:57 Dear brothers,

2:00 in the tradition of our

2:02 righteous predecessors,

2:05 there is a narration

2:08 about Shaklik al-Balhi,

2:10 a student of the well-known scholar Ibrahim ibn Nadham.

2:16 One day,

2:19 traveling through the desert

2:20 in search

2:22 of sustenance, for nafak.

2:26 A bird with a broken wing caught his eye.

2:29 It could not fly

2:31 nor bring food to itself.

2:33 But he saw another bird land near it,

2:37 bringing it food.

2:40 It was lowering

2:40 He feeds, provides for the weak, in her beak.

2:45 Amazed by this sight,

2:47 the man thinks.

2:50 If Allah

2:51 provides

2:52 for this helpless,

2:53 injured bird,

2:55 He will provide for me too.

3:00 And he decides to return home.

3:03 And dedicate himself solely to ibadah.

3:09 When he met his teachers,

3:12 he told them what he saw.

3:15 And

3:21 why

3:23 don't you

3:24 be

3:25 that healthy bird

3:27 that feeds

3:29 that wounded one?

3:32 For the upper

3:34 The bowing is better than the lower position.

3:40 This brief narration

3:43 And the teacher's response

3:45 carries a great message.

3:48 A believer

3:49 must not and cannot be passive.

3:53 They rely on Allah, the Exalted,

3:55 which does not mean giving up work

3:58 and leaving the concern for us and our sustenance

4:02 to Allah, the Exalted.

4:03 Negotiation means our initiative,

4:06 our full commitment,

4:09 working within our capabilities,

4:11 and after that,

4:13 reliance

4:14 on Allah, the Exalted.

4:17 The Prophet (peace be upon him)

4:19 once told a Companion who asked him

4:21 whether to tie the camel and rely on Allah or to let it go and trust that the Lord would take care of it. In a brief sentence, he explained,

4:34 tie the camel,

4:36 then it becomes

4:38 in Allah.

4:42 The strength of a believer

4:44 is reflected in their responsibility,

4:46 determination,

4:48 knowledge, work, perseverance, and readiness

4:51 to be beneficial.

4:52 To be responsible

4:54 and of benefit to both themselves and others.

4:57 The Prophet (peace be upon him)

4:59 He advises us, O believers,

5:02 there is goodness.

5:03 And it is given

5:04 to Allah from the weak believers.

5:07 In everything, there is goodness.

5:09 Yes,

5:10 the believer.

5:12 Allah loves the strong believer more than the weak believer.

5:15 And in every situation, there is goodness. In every situation, there is good.

5:21 Muslims around the world hope and expect.

5:25 those who are strong,

5:27 those who, due to their position, are stronger than others and define themselves as Ulul Amr,

5:34 the leaders and heads finally

5:37 gather and consider the situation,

5:39 and agree and pave the way for its resolution.

5:44 They have no right to remain silent

5:47 and do nothing regarding

5:49 the protection of Muslims.

5:51 For if they are Muslims,

5:53 if they are leaders and rely on Allah's help, then they must act, speak,

6:01 to help,

6:02 to protect the weak

6:04 Allah

6:05 they are obliged to do so

6:06 as leaders

6:08 of the people or nations.

6:11 Unfortunately,

6:12 this is not the first time that the Ummah of Muhammad s.a.w.

6:16 has found itself in a difficult situation.

6:19 And this has always happened to him.

6:21 when its internal cohesion was disrupted

6:23 internal cohesion

6:25 And when greedy individuals stepped in

6:28 greedy individuals

6:30 who subordinated the interests of the ummah

6:32 to their own

6:34 Against

6:37 their brothers,

6:38 aiding

6:40 1

6:41 which inherited.

6:45 Unfortunately, there are many examples.

6:47 we have,

6:49 We will mention the Ayyubid state.

6:54 The Ayyubid state in the seventh century after

6:59 the death of its founder

7:03 split

7:04 into three parts.

7:07 One part was ruled by his

7:10 son Kamil in Egypt.

7:12 Another in Damascus, the second son of Muaz

7:17 And the third, the remaining part of the Levant,

7:20 the third son Eshref.

7:23 The son of Kamishli,

7:25 surrendered Jerusalem

7:29 into the hands of the German Sara

7:32 as compensation

7:33 for the help

7:35 that he provided him in battles

7:38 against his

7:39 to the One

7:41 brother

7:42 Muaz

7:45 And his brother Eshref also helped the enemy

7:49 against the Muslims

7:51 only a few decades later

7:54 all their states

7:56 collapsed

8:01 The Ummah faces a similar calamity and

8:06 before it is a difficult path to recovery

8:09 And of inner transformation.

8:12 He will be able to achieve that

8:15 only by returning to the source of his power, that is,

8:18 affirmation

8:19 of Quranic and Sunnah principles and

8:23 re-establishing

8:24 inner

8:25 cohesion and unity.

8:27 In order to protect himself from frequent attacks

8:30 on his life,

8:32 territory

8:33 And His goodness.

8:35 Therefore, we hope

8:38 As well as our Muslim brothers and sisters around the world

8:42 That this trial is an opportunity

8:45 For those who need to take action to awaken.

8:48 And to take the first step on that path.

8:52 And because of these events,

8:54 many

8:56 are those who have opened their eyes and said...

9:01 Evil

9:06 And good are not the same.

9:08 The market has produced a multitude of evils.

9:12 And then they experienced their own birth pangs.

9:15 We hope

9:18 that those who have individually embarked

9:22 will at one moment unite with the others.

9:26 With a large number of those who have taken the path of good, truth, and justice, for the benefit of the ordinary person

9:35 women and children.

9:38 Dear brothers.
