Short lecture by Sh Feiz Muhammad & Khalid Yasin, about the current affairs of the Muslims
Transcript:
Sh Feiz Muhammad--
Today, in our times, it is the fear of death, the fear of sacrificing your finger, your toe a drop of blood -- that is more honourable than anything else. Look at us, worldwide, look at our current affairs, look at our situation, look at the people around us, we are the most humiliated nation on the face of this earth. With no doubt, why? Because martyrdom to us is not appealing, it is not as appealing to us as it was those ancestors, the great warriors that passed us, that lived around the best creature that walked this earth, Muhammad ibn Abdullah (s). Open your eyes, and look at the massacres, those that occurred in Bosnia, in Kosovo, in Indonesia, in Kashmir, those that are occurring today in Afghanistan, in Iraq, in Palestine, have we done anything about this? Are we able to do anything? We are not, why are we not? Because our lifestyle is more precious to us than doing anything about it. Our brothers in Cuba, who are chained like dogs, tied like animals, placed in a 2.4 x 1.8 cage, concrete base, tin roof, chicken wire for walls. They walk like this, and can not even move. Those orange suits of theirs, shaved, humiliated, degraded, we are down toddled, enslaved. Why? We are the most humiliated nation today.
Sh Khalid Yasin --
Another one of the reasons, for this condition, is because the Muslims have become too pre-occupied. As the Prophet (s) said: A time will come, when the nations of the world, will invite themselves towards you, like a group of people that are hungry that are invited to a plate of food. The companions of the Prophet (s) were surprised, and asked him: Is this because at that time, we will be in the minority, there will only be a few of us (that is how they were thinking). He (s) said: No, at that time, you will be in the majority; you will be a great number. Are we in the great number? Yes were are. We hear Muslims talking about it, we hear the statistics, 1.4 Muslims, 1.4 wet matches. Nothing you can do with them, but recycle them, and make more matches, that you can strike over again, when they are dry. Then the Prophet (s), went on to tell them why this condition would exist, he said: Your enemies will have no respect, and no fear of you. Is this the case today? Has not the United Nations, headed by the United States, have not they invited the nations to form a world coalition, a new world order, to do what? To select from the Muslims, whoever they like, like from a buffet? And they talk to each other like that, "What you like today? Palestine, Afghanistan, Kashmir, Somali, Sheshan, Pakistan... what you like?" A question, they have for each other is: What do they have? Why do we need it? What can we do with them? The Prophet (s) mentioned: They do this blatantly with no consideration, no respect. They take, and go, invade, rape, kill, massacre -- do whatever they want. Then after that, they set up humanitarian foundations to invite us to their countries to live, give us citizenship, give us safety, make us democratic, make us feel real good -- to ensure we never go back to those lands to change our conditions. So the Prophet (s), went on: your enemies will have no fear or respect for you, and you Muslims would be like the bubbles on the ocean, when it goes to shore and comes back, bubbles, foam, trash -- meaning you will have no substance, and Allah will strike in to your hearts -- preoccupations, attachment, involvement, submerged in the duniya, and hating death, it means more than that, not even wanting to be wounded, or disturbed, bothered, if it means its going to be lead to injury -- meaning they have given up the thought of jihad.
