"Be Peacemakers", Eid 2010 Sermon by Shaykh Hamza Yusuf (Zaytuna)
Brief Transcript:
- Noting happens except what Allah (swt) commands. He controls and provides for everything. Imaan increases when you increase your devotion in ibadah. This is why in Ramadan we found we were able to get up early, read Qur'an several times, everybody tasted the Qur'an.
- Allah (swt) is 'Rabbu Ramadan' but He is also 'Rabbu Shawwal'. Just because Ramadan ends, nothing changes in your state. Allah does not change. Maintain your Ramadan practice. Stay in the momentum.
- Reading as much as you are able daily: 100 verses, 50 verses, or just Ayatul Kursi or Suratul Mulk (30 verses) each day, this will protect you from heedlnessness, in your grave. The Prophet ? said: 'I wish the 30 verses were in the heart of every Muslim'.
Sermon:
- Muslims are under seige. You can feel it. But who did this? Allah did this! We as a community have been sitting on Islam for so long, and not doing anything about it. The Muslims are getting along as if nothing matter. Finally you can openly practise Islam without getting burned for the FIRST time in history, in a Christian country.
- In Surat an-Nahl Allah (swt) says CALL OTHERS TO THE WAY OF YOUR LORD WITH WISDOM. Allah (swt) knows what the people are doing, you don't need to worry, you just tell them about Islam.
- Emulate the character of the Prophet ?; do not argue, do not curse, do defend yourself, but be patient for that is better. Dialogue with the people, 'ahsan' - in the most beautiful way, do not argue. You'll hear many obnoxious things from the people, but don't be oppressed or constricted about their plots. Speak to people in the best way. Allah (swt) is with the people of piety - Fasbirr! You be patient!
- This is a time when Muslims have to rise above their egos and images of self worth - placed higher than Allah sometimes.. It can't be where they say 'lets burn the Qur'an' so we say 'lets burn the US flag'. Mockery is not acceptable. For some, the US flag is sacred. Allah (swt) said 'Do not curse their idols because then they will curse Allah, out of ignorance... And Like that, we have made every the actions of every ummah - beautiful'.
- We are letting other poeple tell us who we are, we are letting others define us. No! We know that Americans are generally patient people, we've been living here for generation. But we are living in an environment where the seeds of hate have grown deep from propaganda and media. Each group of people think they are doing something good, so understand their mindset. We must correct and protect our homes, our masajid.
- Benjamin Franklin built a house for free speech for all; Thomas Jefferson endorsed freedom and protection for all including the 'Mohammedans'. Allah (swt) says, 'BUT SAY THE TRUTH FROM YOUR LORD' - whoever disbelieves, let them, whoever believes, let them. If Allah (swt) wanted, wouldn't everyone on earth be believers? Do you think you can force people to convert? That is not our job. You can't convert the world. But you can tell people about Allah (swt) in good conduct and wise words.
- Shakespeare said 'Theres a tide in the affairs of men'. We have an opportunity to tell others about Islam. We have the tools, so we have to be creative. If you can't do it yourself, empower others who can. This is not to proselytize others, it is to teach.
- All the Prophet ? asked the Qureysh was to talk to his people, he loved to guide people. He praised the Jews and Christians and Pagans when they did praiseworthy things!
- Roosevelt said, "it's not patriotic to agree with the president when he's wrong" - this is descent. We can and must speak out against wrong. A problem in the US is the 'extreme right with a hidden agenda' (war). Now the agenda is 'blame it on the Muslims'. Every time they will stoke the fire of war, Allah (swt) will put it out.
- We should be peacemakers. We have a destiny but we are squandering our power and wealth. Future communities will curse us! Looking at how much we have and wasted.
Allahu Akbar walhamdulillah. Be pious people, be good people, don't cheat the system, be exemplars, we are here to stay, use your wealth for good. Life is short, we are growing old before our eyes, we need to work now to protect our children. Don't ignore the winds that are blowing. It is Allah (swt) that is waking us up and we'll have no-one to blame but ourselves. Empower yourself and one another.
May Allah (swt) accept your Ramadan and fasting, may He protect your home, your women, make your land safe. May Allah bring these leaders to an understanding so they leave people alone. May Allah give those in authority wisdom, may Allah make us people of the Qur'an, may He forgive all of our sins, restore peace and order, and make us leaders in our community. May He protect the people and make us callers to peace. In the end, this world is a place of turmoil, may Allah (swt) make us people of the peace in the akhirah.
Return wrongs with rights.

nature of Allah subhana WA Ta'ala cool
Umehara by Baraka follow chilla with
erica everything that has occurred to
your heart Allah other than that because
only a created thoughts can come to your
heart and Allah is the uncreated reality

human being gave him sight gave him

consciousness in the summer when Basara

hula-hula a cacao and hummus una the the
hearing the sight and the understanding
all of those the human being is
responsible for and then through his
Rama through his grace he sent
messengers to teach people how to live
how to behave and he made those
messengers the best examples of how to
live and how to behave nothing that they
commanded they didn't follow they were
the first to follow the words that
a commanded they were the first to
believe a menorah Zulu be Mountain Zeta
yayyy
the Prophet believed in what was
revealed to him the Prophet himself
believed in what was revealed to him the
Prophet when he heard the Jews tell him
about his descriptions in the Torah when
they would finish he would say as she
had to any Rasul Allah I testify that I
am a Messenger of Allah the prophet
himself his Iman was growing in his
heart and this is the nature of the
believer his Eman should always be in
increase Ramadan is a time for
increasing Eman water jazzy attitude
Imani B Mataji departed in sani the
preferred opinion of our own AMA is that
Iman increases when you increase your
devotion to Allah
Ramadan is a time when you increase your
devotion to Allah super Hannah Wattana
and this is why your iman is higher your
getting up before dawn in times that you
can't do that some people weren't even
getting up for dawn before Ramadan
started some people weren't even getting
up for fudger but in Ramadan they find
they're able to get up before dawn they
have a meal and then they pray there's
people that stay and get the reward of a
hedge and in Umrah by staying until the
Shoob there's people that recited the
Quran in its entirety several times in
Ramadan some people twice some people
one time some people didn't have the
to--they to do that the success from
Allah
but everybody had some case of the Quran
who participated in ramadan allah is
horrible rama bond but he's also rubbish
Awad he's the Lord of show al nothing
changes after ramadan the prophet
sallallaahu and he was sent him in the
hadees sorry they said he didn't
increase in his prayer numbers in
ramadan or other than ramadan the
prophet sala lies in him his Eman was
the Eman of Ramadan all through the year
because Allah doesn't change allah
subhan allah tala is the same but he
facilitates ramadan in order to you for
you to prepare for what's coming after
ramadan men Sawa Ramadan

Kanaka see
in the hadith sahih muslim and even
manager relate the hadith whoever fast
Ramadan and then follows it up with six
days in sha well and Imam Malik said six
days any time after that until the next
year debating on what that positive min
means min from so those who want to stay
in their state in Rama bond the best
thing to do is maintain your practice
don't diminish your practice the Prophet
SAW Allah I am reminded us to read the
Quran he said whoever reads a hundred
Quran is written from the highest people
hundred verses of the Quran a day
there's a require 50 verses of a day and
you won't be written from the people of
heedlessness if you just do I said Corsi
and if you do a menorah psuedo every day
which is in many Hadees to do that and
if you do sort of smoke 50 a thirty ayah
the prophets Allah I said I'm said
there's a chapter in the Quran that has
30 verses I wish it was in the heart of
every believer Mook Mook will protect
you in your grave monk will protect you

day
the headlines are about Muslims who did
this if you ask me I say Allah subhana
WA Ta'ala did this because Muslims have
been sitting on this religion for so
long and not sharing it the whole world
turning against them because this is the
age of the internet this is the age of
mass communication this is the first
time in human history where you could be
in a Christian country and openly talk
about Islam and know what they won't
burn you they might burn the Quran but
they won't burn you this is the first
time in human history and yet the
Muslims are getting along with their
business as if nothing mattered Coderre

Sahaba used to hate raising the voice

the one Allah calls you to the higher
way you take that way you don't take the
low way you don't take the lower way
even if it's acceptable you take the
highway this is a time when Muslims have
to rise above their egos they have to
rise above their own tribalism their own
self-identity their own images of a
worse that they put up higher than the
Deen sometimes well mine
we're discussing this religion in many
many places people say oh you know
they're going to burn Quran let's burn
the American flag before they even burn
the hold on just because they say
they're going to let's burn the
Americans like the American flag too
many people in this country is a sacred
thing when I was a boy in in school it
was the tradition when I was a boy the
flag could not touch the ground if it
touch the ground you burnt the flag you
desecrated the flag that that's when I
was growing up I was a flag boy in
school the person that puts the flag up
at the school they used to do that I
don't know if they do that anymore
the flag is something very sacred to
many American patriotic Americans you
burn their flag what do you think
they're going to do seriously what do
you think they're going to do Allah
subhana WA Ta'ala says what after super
ladina Harouna min do Neela say a super
wide one deer a deer in kinetic is a yen
a D cool do met in a meadow home do not
curse the idols of those who call on
other than Allah because they in turn
will curse Allah how do
ignorance in other words you cause them
to curse Allah by your cursing their the
things they hold sacred
that's what Allah says in the Quran that
came because the Prophet used to speak
about the idols and then there the jihad
the Arabs would get angry and they would
say things about his Lord and so Allah
said no don't do that
don't speak about their idol just tell
them about God forget about their idols
tell them about our lawsuit panwa and
then Allah said something very powerful
everything in Quran is powerful but
reflect on this Allah subhana wa tada
says like that we have made every Ummah
every community deem their actions
beautiful they think what they're doing
is right they think what they're doing
is good every group thinks this they
think what they're doing is good many
people that went overseas to Iraq these
soldiers to Iraq and Afghanistan they
thought they were doing good now some of
them have become murderers they have
seven young soldiers who probably were
just like these innocent people here in
this community people that you work with
people that you have transactions with
in stores a 21 year old young man who
should be in college studying or
learning some trade but instead he's
over shooting an Afghani farmer not even
a combatant just for sport seven
soldiers and then they tried to cover
this up mutilating the bodies one of the
positive things despite these terrible
atrocities one of the positive things is
that there are people that have
consciousness they're conscientious
people they reveal these things that's
why we know about them it can enrage
Muslims but that is something that is
positive about this community when
General Patton went to Morocco landed
first in Morocco he begins his memoirs
my war he has a book about the world war
two General George Patton he's
considered one of the greatest generals
in American history his opening
statement in that book as he arrives in
Morocco
he said just finished reading the Quran
a good and interesting book now you
can't get more American than General
George Patton he's as red white and blue
as the flag but when he went to a Muslim
country he wanted to know what what do
these people believe and so he read the
Quran and he said a good and interesting
book that was his assessment this was a
man who knew Greek who knew Latin who
spoke French
he knew the history of the ancient world
he was a military historian he was an
educated man he read the Quran and he
said a good and interesting book he
didn't say this book should be burnt
when he met with the King of Morocco
he said invariably some of our soldiers
will do heinous things this goes with
any group of people they always have
fools in amongst them and he said but I
want you to immediately tell me of any
incident he said if anyone raped we will
hang them and he said that the King of
Morocco lit up and he said this will
bring great joy to the Moroccan people
if miscreants are dealt with with this
kind of justice we haven't told people
who we are we're letting other people
define who we are we're letting other
people tell us who we are they're saying
this is an evil group these are devil
worshippers these are people that that
are violent people really my love
there's Afghan ease in here
peaceful people trying to get by leaving
their job like the Bengali taxi driver
in New York City
simple Muslim probably prayed five times
a day had a beard and the man says
tomorrow Muslim and he says yes not a
shame he could have said no no I'm not a
Muslim I'm Hindu but he said I'm a
Muslim
the man said sat on my nickel and then
he took a knife out and slit his throat
and missed his jugular vein he could
have killed that man he could have
killed that man this is the type of
environment that has been created by the
seeds of hatred that have been sown in
the
parts of too many people in this country
Americans generally are patient people
they're patient people you know that
you've lived in this country those of
you who are immigrants you've lived long
enough to know that that people here
generally are good people they're
patient people but if you brainwash
people if you give them messages day in
and day out they will begin to believe
those messages and then they can do the
most heinous things they can do the most
heinous things our houses are
increasingly becoming less safe in this
country our massages are increasingly
becoming less safe in this country we've
had now several masajid since the mosque
51 the park 51 incident several massager
have been abused in this country
including Fresno California right down
the road the people doing this are often
they're not bad people per se they're
not evil people Kidada cos again the
Cooley Amit and I'm at home we make each
group think what they're doing is good
these people think they're doing
something good these are evil people we
have to stop them because they've been
brainwashed if the Muslims don't wake up
and recognize one the immense
opportunity that we have for the first
time in the history of this country
since the beginning of this country in
which people were very interested in
Islam this is a fact in this country
early on because of the problems with
Libya the problems with Algeria the
first country to recognize the United
States of America was Morocco Benjamin
Franklin in his autobiographies when
there was a preacher that came to
Philadelphia the City of Brotherly Love
the first capital of the United States
there was a preacher that came and he
had such an impact the other preachers
envied him which is often the case when
you have somebody who's effective in
what they do you have the Envy earth and
they wanted to prohibit this person from
speaking anywhere in the city of
Philadelphia Benjamin Franklin said I
noted a change in the character of
people since the coming of this man to
Philadelphia the people were actually
behaving more with brotherly love like
Philadelphia so you know what he said
I'm going to build a house that is free
for anybody to say something good even
if the mufti of Constantinople wanted to
come and tell the American people about
Islam he would find an open place in my
in my setting here this is this is the
founding father Thomas Jefferson who
said that he wanted to see an America
that was safe for every type of
Christian every Jew every Muslim every
Mohammedan this is in his own right
every Mohammedan every Hindu for the
Hindus and for even the Atheist of every
strike this was the dream of these early
people they did not want to see the type
of religious bigotry that there existed
in Europe where people fought wars over
what people believe Allah subhana WA
Ta'ala says al Haqq una Nakamura become
my man chef Edmund woman sha affiliate
or say the truth from your Lord whoever
wants to believe let him believe whoever
wants to disbelieve let him disbelieve
that Achrafieh Deen now a cravat Deen
there's no coercion in this religion cut
the vein almost a minute late things are
clear Allah subhana WA Ta'ala says what
OSHA or Ibuka the armaments that are the
who loom
Jaime and if Allah wanted everybody in
the earth would believe they would all
be believers if Allah wanted he could do
that but what is he saying no when OSHA
are Ibuka the Amana Medford articulo
engineer on a Fanta to Peru NASA hatea :
what meaning do you think you can force
people to become believers we're not out
to convert the world Muslims have never
been out to convert the world really
because our own book tells us you can't
convert the world but all you can do is
tell people if they want to come in
welcome if they want to stay out you're
free to do that Allah subhana WA Ta'ala

just just be patient be patient nobody's
in a hurry the day is coming and Allah
says I'll make everything clear he'll
make it out of being marjoram and then
on that day I'll send them back to their
Lord then I'll send them back to their
Lord are you in a bit anemic and
Yamanote he will explain to them what
they were doing that's immediately after
to that because again Adi could be
omelet and I'm at home and like that we
made every group think what they were
doing was good and then Allah says I'm
going to explain to them what they were
doing we have an immense opportunity
Shakespeare says there's a tide in the
affairs of men which if taken at the
flood right leads on to ventures a
fortune now you get success omitted then
you spend your life and in shadows
and miseries upon such a sea are we now
afloat this is the time to tell people
about Islam who we are don't let other
people define us they have tools we have
tools to the Internet has democratized
mass media you can have more impact on
the internet and you can on CNN if
you're clever enough there's YouTube
videos now that have more people see
those videos then then see arrivee at
any given time or FoxNews Muslims have
to be creative tell people who you are
meaning if you can't do it yourselves
then empower those who are doing it we
have groups Islamic networks group
that's going on in teaching people about
Islam explaining to them what Islam is
not to proselytize to inform Thomas
Cleary said Americans can't even think
about thinking about Islam so we have to
break down the barriers we have to let
them know who we are this is an
opportunity people the prophets Elias M
asked for one thing from Korres
hallo Vania were bein an ass just let me
talk to people don't don't don't don't
stop me don't prevent me just let me
talk to people that's all the problems
lies and ass have no manual been enough
he didn't want to fight
that's it ameno all I do don't desire to
meet your enemy the Prophet I said
didn't want to fight he was not a
murderer
Raja who he was Rama Todd he was modest
unlucky in matenda nana mean he was a
mercy to all the world he loved guidance
for people he loved good for people he
praised the Jews when they did
praiseworthy things he praised the
Christians when they did praiseworthy
things he praised the machine Akeem when
they did praiseworthy things about
hanford Vogel he said I witnessed an
alliance of virtue in the jaw dia if I
was called to it in Islam I would answer
the Prophet was not a fanatic
hasha who he was not a prude he was
never an angry person
he said that talk about don't get angry
outrage is not anger there are times to
be outraged there's times for
indignation Muslims should be outraged
but so should good Americans people that
are out there should be outraged at the
type of prejudice at the type of
violence being directed to Muslims they
should be outraged
is this the country that they want their
children to grow up in increasingly
looking like a fascist country if these
things will continue if these ideas
proliferate is this the type of a
country Chris Hedges wrote a book about
the the right increasingly becoming like
fascists calling any descent treason to
dissent Theodore Roosevelt considered a
great American said it's not patriotic
to agree with the president when he's
wrong this country was about dissent it
began as a movement of dissent
these are reactionary people's there's a
rabbi in Florida that wrote a beautiful
essay and he identified three problems
in
this country he said the problem in this
country is you have an extreme right
that has an agenda
many of them have alliances with war
mongers who want to sell weapons who
want to create enemies out there Russia
is no longer an enemy let's make the
Muslims an enemy the monterrey Language
Institute went from the dominant
language that was being taught there 15
years ago was Russian now it's Arabic
new enemy is convenient when you have an
industry that thrives on war how do you
convince people to give billions of
dollars every year in taxes over 50% of
the budget of this country of the tax
budget is going to build weapons how do
you convince people when people find out
what has been done to them in this
country the economic injustice all of
these mortgages people losing their jobs
all the jobs being shipped over by the
same corporations that are building the
weapons shipping those jobs over to
China to Indonesia to other places who
cares about the American worker who
cares about the American worker so what
do they do what do they do just like
they did to the poor white southerner
turn all of your anger on the black
people they're the cause of all your
problems you're better than them you
were born with white skin right that's
what they did turn them on that but
they're still on the caboose of the
train right they're still on the caboose
of the Train that's the what they did
that was the strategy of certain
demagogues in this country turn them on
the black people now before that in
Germany when they had hyperinflation
would it Hitler say it's all the Jews
problems it's all the Jews problems is
not the fact that we started a war
against all of the other Western
countries and now they've wiped us out
completely gutted our economy and and
we're stuck to reap the bitter fruit of
World War one no it's the Jews problems
they've done this to us
and what happened they had enough
propaganda they had their FoxNews really
they had their Fox News they had their
propaganda machine Goebbels taught a lot
of these people how the thing works
Jacques Ellul wrote a book called
propaganda which explains how much of
Western propaganda now is based on the
ideas of Joseph Goebbels the only PhD
amongst the inner circle of the Nazis
this is what's happening blame it on the
Muslims they're your problem don't blame
it on all this war mongering don't blame
it on the fact that we have a budget of
defense that usually be called the
department of war now it's called
Department of Defense a budget that is 9
times greater than all of the other
military budgets in the world combined
until a famous author from Boston could
write a book called the abode of war
calling America the abode of war Doral
Harbor and that's an American calling
America the abode of war Kulemin oh
pardon are and allowed me ha ha ha
every time they attempted to to stoke
the flames of war Allah put those flames
out way as an owner that ugly facade and
they sow corruption in the earth wallahu
legitimacy Deen Allah doesn't love
people that so corruption in the earth
we should be peacemakers not war mongers
our religion is a religion that calls to
peace you can say yeah Muslims are being
fought everywhere and you're saying
peace no you think about what what
fighting a machine like this does to
Muslims today you think about that just
think about the suffering that's been
brought on the Iraqi people the
suffering that's been brought on the
Afghani people and then talk to me about
war you know we want to see these wars
end and Muslims have to wake up in this
country because we have a destiny in
this country if we don't rise up to the
destiny that allows you an alert that
has chosen this community to bring peace
the people in the future I believe will
this community they will curse them all
of those things they had all that wealth
all that intelligence all of that power
and yet they squandered it on 401k plans
that dissipated before their eyes
squandered it on a new car that they
could have used their old call to have
squandered it on big entertainment
centers that's not what we were created
for a poodle Cody hada was stuff that a
lot you would a comedy sat in a machine
allahu akbar allah akbar allah akbar

B Hanauma a bad Allah o sequels in a
series of Allah be pious people be good
people
don't cheat the system live within the
laws this is our religion to be good
citizens this is our religion be
exemplars for this religion you're here
you're not somewhere else you have
immense opportunities many of you have
been blessed greatly use your wealth for
good use your wealth you you get what
you need and then and then use it for
good don't squander this opportunity
life is very short
many of us are growing old before our
eyes really we're getting older this
community has been here now for some
time we have young children we need to
sow the seeds for those young children
to reap the benefits of our hard work
and labor please
take it as an opportunity don't ignore
the winds that are blowing out there
don't ignore these winds really many of
the Jews in Nazi Germany they didn't see
those winds blowing they didn't they
thought they can't get this is this must
be as bad as it's going to get we're
watching it get worse and worse and
worse
at which point at which point really if
we allow this to
happen they will make it impossible for
Muslims to live to live in this in this
land with their children without concern
every time their child goes to school
but I believe in the heart of hearts
it's a loss of hano of data that's
waking us up and if we don't wake up if
we don't wake up we have no one to blame
but ourselves a loss of Hannah with
Dianna is is is has told us tell people
who you are
the Provencal nadia Ali was Adam said
believe or anyone else i empower people
if you can't do it yourself
I mean I lost my hand with that I accept
your Ramadan

our fasting or standing in prayer may
Allah subhana WA Ta'ala guard all of
your homes guard your children protect

safe land may Allah prevent it from any
harm coming to it may Allah bring these
leaders to the understanding so that
they pull out of places where they

amongst those who call to peace a
Donelson and in the end the ultimate
pieces in the al-shara this war is this
this world is a place of turmoil it's a
place of strife it's a place of grief
