3 Steps to Overcome Fear, Pressure, Hate & Islamophobia | Jumuah Khutbah | Imam Nadim Bashir

Opening Du'a and Greetings

I ask Allah to grant her shifa. May Allah give shifa to all those who are sick.

And may Allah have mercy on all those who passed away.

آمِينَ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ. As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu.

Khutbah Opening

Allah has said, after I seek refuge with Allah from the accursed Satan, In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

Indeed, the best guidance is the Book of Allah, and the best guidance is the guidance of Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him. And the worst of things are its innovations, and every innovation is an innovation, and every innovation is a misguidance, and every misguidance is in the Fire.

I ask Allah that just as He has gathered us here today on the day of Jum'ah, may Allah gather us, along with our families, in Jannat al-Firdaws al-A'la, in the companionship of Rasulullah ﷺ and his Sahaba.

Reminder About Jum'ah Etiquette

Before I begin my khutbah, I want to remind everyone that in a Jum'ah khutbah, please do not use your phones, stay away from your phones, do not be checking your emails or playing games, or perhaps even checking your social media account or your platforms, while the Jum'ah khutbah is taking place. May Allah grant all of us Tawfiq. Ameen.

The Current Challenges Facing Muslims

So brothers and sisters, as even Brother Abdullah mentioned earlier, that what will probably happen next week, and we see what is happening all over the place, we see the pressure building up upon Muslims everywhere. Whether it is politicians, and politicians everywhere, they know that the only way to grow your constituents, the only way to grow and get your votes, is by playing the Sharia law card. They all know this, and unfortunately, because we live in a country that most people, most people are very naive. They do not even have the intellectual capacity to understand a simple concept. If you hear something, go do your research.

We live in a country where people, for the most part, whatever they hear the media saying, they will believe in it without any kind of investigation or without any kind of research. We see the media twisting verses of the Qur'an, twisting a hadith of Rasulullah ﷺ to fit their Islamophobic narrative.

At the same time, you see even online influencers, because nowadays when we say media, we are saying mostly social media, media like news and so forth, they have lost a lot of their power, so everyone has now shifted their attention to get all their news and all their content and their information from social media. And with the fact that social media is run and being controlled by Zionists, it's really hard to fight this battle over and over again, but this is what's happening.

And along with that, you have even unfortunately, very, very unfortunately, Muslims who are not educated, Muslims who are misinformed, Muslims who don't know the Qur'an and the Sunnah of Rasulullah ﷺ, they are the ones who are going on social media and creating false narratives about Islam, which falls again into the narrative of the people outside who are the enemies of Islam.

The Answer: Faith in Allah

So with all these challenges that we are facing as a community, the question that many people are asking is that how long will we be able to handle this? And the answer to that question is that no matter what, as long as you have your faith in Allah, Allah will be on your side.

You know, when Trump got elected the very first time, you had a lot of Muslims who said the same thing, how are we going to survive this? And we saw the ban that was taking place. You know, whether many people at that time, if you remember, people went to even the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport, because there were many people coming into the country who were Muslims, and they were being stopped. And so even at that time, people said, how are we going to get through this? Four years went by. Then after that, you had the Biden administration that came in. That actually started the genocide that is taking place right now in Gaza and all over Palestine. And we went through that.

And now again, we have the same Trump administration that is here, and you see what he's saying, even what he said about the Somalian community, which is completely and utterly false. The Somalian community is an amazing community, subhanAllah. But at the same time, you see all this, and how do we process this? How do we handle all this pressure that's building up upon us?

Four Points to Understand

And today in this khutbah, I'm going to share with you four points, four points that you need to understand. And if we can understand this, inshaAllah, it will be very easy for us, and we'll be able to manage and get through these difficult times.

First Point: Historical Pattern of Hostility

The very first point is, when you study history, from the time of the Prophet ﷺ till even today, and all the way to the Day of Judgment, the reality is this. Wherever and whenever Muslims have settled, and they begin to have an impact on that society, a positive impact in that society, they will face, without a doubt, hostility at the highest level.

When you talk about Rasulullah ﷺ, you think he did not face any kind of hostility? You think he did not face any kind of misinformation? When people were coming into Mecca, these Quraishi people were standing at the border of Mecca, telling people that you are welcome to come in, but don't listen to this man. He is a majnoon, a'udhu billah. And they made all these claims about Rasulullah ﷺ. But Allah had other plans.

You had people like Dhimad al-Azdi who was considered by profession a psychologist. He was considered as a psychologist. So when he heard about Rasulullah ﷺ, he is thinking to himself that this is a person who is a perfect, who can potentially be a perfect patient of mine. I am a psychologist, he is probably mentally insane, perfect. But when he came to Rasulullah ﷺ, what did the Prophet ﷺ say? SubhanAllah, he gave the khutbatul haja.

And Dhimad al-Azdi, at that time he was not a Muslim, but he was absolutely blown away. Now he is thinking to himself that if he is mentally insane, he cannot repeat the same exact khutbatul haja again. So he told Rasulullah ﷺ, can you repeat the same exact thing? And the Prophet ﷺ repeated the same exact thing word for word. Then he said that why are people saying that you are perhaps a mentally insane person? And they said that because they don't like and they are against the message that I am preaching. And Dhimad al-Azdi accepted Islam on the spot.

You see once again, wherever Muslims have began to settle, there is going to be hostility. This is what happened at the time of the Prophet ﷺ. There was boycotts against the Prophet ﷺ. There were slanders against the Prophet ﷺ.

But then even if you go into history, what happened when the Tatar came into Baghdad? They ransacked the entire city. They destroyed the Islamic libraries. There were so many people who were killed unjustly. They were killed unjustly. No one talks about those kind of things. But they just want to talk about that Islamization in America. So they are picking and choosing whatever they want to narrate on social media. And they are creating a lot of hostility.

You see what has happened, I remember when I was a child, when I was a kid, I heard about the Iraq war. How America went and they created a war against Iraq. And then not only that, but even recently, weapons of mass destruction went and destroyed them. It took so many people's lives. And they never found any weapons of mass destruction. Whether it is Afghanistan, whether it is Bosnia, many of us who are above the age of probably 40 years old, we know what happened in Bosnia. There was a genocide that took place in Bosnia. Whether what we see happening in India right now, what happened in the last several years in Rohingya with the Muslims, what happened with the Uighur Muslims, what happened in Syria, what is happening currently right now in Europe, and the Islamophobia that is spreading even in America.

We need to understand this, that this is a reality. That wherever Muslims have gone, they are always going to be subjected to oppression. And not only that, but then you have people who are just creating false information about how Muslims are killing other Christians. When you had Bill Maher creating this absolute fabrication and absolute lie that do you know how many Christians in Nigeria have been killed? Do you know that after that there were so many media outlets that reached out to him and said, can you please cite your sources? Till today, he has not been able to cite any kind of sources. Yet unfortunately, as I said earlier, most people do not even research at all. They listen to something, they believe it, and then they just went with it.

What's happening in Africa, if what was happening in Africa, and if these people really cared about what was happening in Africa, it would have been reported again and again and again. We saw what happened in Gaza and Palestine. There was so much footage that was coming out from there, but we never saw any footage coming out from Africa, from Nigeria and so forth. So again, you find people like this going and creating these kind of lies, and unfortunately, it puts a lot of pressure on the Muslims.

So the first point is that wherever Muslims gone, have gone, they're always are going to be targeted.

Second Point: The Psychological Fear from Surah Al-Ahzab

Now, while we understand this, this brings me to point number two, which is that in the Qur'an, one is you have fear that does exist. But Surah Al-Ahzab covers a different type of fear. It covers a psychological type of fear that the Sahaba and Rasulullah ﷺ faced.

So Surah Al-Ahzab is regarding the battle of trenches. And this was perhaps the last attempt of the Quraysh to come and deal with the Muslims. Because after the battle of trenches, there was not a single battle that took place between the Muslims and the Quraysh. This was their last attempt. And in this attempt, Allah describes the psychological state of affairs of the Muslims.

Here in Medina, you have the people who are coming from outside. You have all these people coming from outside. And then the people who are the inside. You had one more Jewish community who were still in Medina. They had an agreement between the two of them. Allah is telling us that when Muslims were attacked at that time, they were externally attacked and internally attacked. How so? Because you had this Jewish community who were betraying their agreement with Rasulullah ﷺ.

And I want you to put yourself in a position that imagine you are going to get attacked, but you have no idea where the attack is coming from. It's coming from outside, it's coming from the inside. That is why Allah says that they were attacked on both sides. When you talk about outside, even understanding our context.

Understanding the Pressure from All Sides

When you say Islam is being attacked by the outside, you have politicians, you have the media, you have all these hate groups. But internally, you have Muslims who are making reckless statements. You have Muslims who are behaving in the most incorrect way. And that is why we're getting pressure from both sides.

Now when you get pressure, what happens is that anxiety builds up. Imagine if you're in a position where you have no idea where the attack is coming from. It could be coming from the front, it could be coming from the back. The very first thing you do is you're looking around over and over again.

And that's why Allah beautifully says:

When the eyes were moving around. Imagine you're in a position that you have no idea where it's gonna come. You're looking here, you're looking there. You're looking here, you're looking there. And that creates anxiety. That creates a lot of pressure. And it creates a lot of psychological pressure. Allah is telling us that the Sahaba went through the same thing.

And not only that, but then He says that:

When the hearts reach the throats, again, more anxiety is building up. You know when you can't breathe, then what do you do? You become very panicky at that time. Allah is saying the same thing. Panic was settling into the Muslims. At that same time, their heart is racing, their heartbeat is racing, their heart pressure went up. And all this is taking place.

And at that same time Allah says:

You know the Muslims who are on the fence, they start having doubts in Allah. They begin to create assumptions. See, one is a dhan, like even in the Qur'an when Allah talks about dhan and assumptions. You don't know the reality, so you're just making up some things in your head. At that time you had some Muslims who are probably new Muslims and so forth, and they're thinking to themselves that where is the help of Allah.

And then Allah says:

The Muslims were tested, and they were shaken to their core. Their iman was shaken, their foundation was shaken, and at that time you had even some munafiqoon who said:

Where are the promises of Allah? Where are the promises of Rasulullah?

The Test of Faith in Our Times

And I've said this before many times in my khutbah. Everything that's happening with Muslims all over the world, there are many people who are losing their faith. While this is a test for them, there's like a physical test where they're trying to protect their life. For everyone else around the world, it is a psychological and a test of faith.

How many Muslims I've heard people saying, I'm losing faith in Allah because if we are the deena haqq, then why isn't Allah helping them? Why isn't Allah just coming wiping out these people like the people who are committing the genocide? Why are they doing this? Why? Why? Why? Why is Allah doing this? Why isn't Allah doing that? And when have we been told by Allah that we dictate what Allah does? We do what we have to do, Allah will do what He has to do. But in this whole process, you find people losing their faith.

So that is why in times like these, we need to come even closer to Allah.

A Lesson from Other Communities

You know, I was talking to, there was an interfaith event that took place and I went there, and I came across a Sikh person. You know, the religion Sikhism. So someone who follows that faith, I met them. And you know what they told me, these are people who don't even believe in Allah. But when 9-11 happened, and then after that there were some other things that happened, because they look, they have sort of an appearance as Muslims, there are many people who got killed. There are many people who were murdered.

And I remember I was talking to one person, he says that, I asked him that, how do you handle these kind of situations? You are being, people think that you're a Muslim, and then they're taking people, they're taking your lives, I mean lives from your community. How are you overcoming this pressure? And this is a person who does not believe in Allah. He said that, this brought us closer to our God. That pressure brought us closer to our God.

Yet when it comes to us as Muslims who believe in Allah, instead of coming closer to Allah, so many people are losing their faith in Allah. It's really, it's something to be ashamed about. So this is why we need to understand that, fear, anxiety, pressure, this is all, that's something that the Prophet faced, and we're gonna face it, but in times like these, we come closer to Allah.

Understanding Tests and Blessings

Ibn Qayyim was asked one time, that how do you know something is a rahmah from Allah, and how do you know something is an azab from Allah. And he gave a very beautiful answer. He says that, if that calamity or that difficulty brings you closer to Allah, that calamity is a rahmah from Allah. And if that calamity takes you away from Allah, then it is an azab from Allah. So that's why in times like these, we need to come closer to Allah.

Knowing the Tactics of Our Enemies

Now, that brings me to point number three. You see, when it comes to these kind of people, we need to know what their tactics are. We need to know how they are manipulating our people. We need to know how they're attacking the faith of so many people, and especially when it comes to our youth. So I want to share with you a few things that they are doing that we as Muslims, we need to open up our eyes. We need to see what the reality is. If you don't know your enemy, if you don't know what their tactics are, there's no way to overcome your enemy.

First Tactic: Misinterpreting Islamic Texts

So what are we seeing today on social media and other places? How they're attacking us is, number one, they are taking Islamic text, verses of the Qur'an, and they're trying to understand the Qur'an from the lens of the Bible. Especially these Christian apologetics, they're sitting all over online, and they're trying to explain the Qur'an from the perspective of the Bible.

And over and over again, I have seen people trying to get on with these kind of people and trying to debate them. We have never been told to understand the Qur'an from the perspective of the Bible, but these people who are getting online and trying to debate them, wallahi, they are very ignorant Muslims. And I don't know why, what's the need to go and debate with someone like that? You leave them on their situation.

We have nothing to do with you, in terms of theology. But you find this over and over again, and what they're doing is, they're putting a lot of doubts in the hearts of so many people. Because once again, they're twisting the Qur'an, they're twisting the hadith of Rasulullah. So this is one of the very first ways they're doing this.

Second Tactic: Weaponizing Media and Politics

Also, there are many people who are weaponizing media and politics. So you have politicians using anti-Islamic rhetoric, you know, people who are in the media just creating this false narrative that 1%, if they had any aqal, any logic in their head, if they use logic in their life, how can 1% make such an impact? How can 1% of an entire population can have such an impact? But once again, for many of them, logic ceases to exist.

Third Tactic: Ignorant Muslims Making Reckless Statements

Then the next one is, that you have many ignorant Muslims, as I said earlier, coming online and saying absolute things. And I'm sorry, I don't even say the names of some of these people who claim to be shuyukh. And they are saying absolute ridiculous things online, and unnecessarily provoking non-Muslims. Like if you don't have anything positive to say, then stay offline.

Your one comment, because when you have this one shaykh, and there are multiple shaykhs like this online, when you have a shaykh or a person who is considered as a religious scholar saying something like this, they will leave out every person who has a different narrative, and they will say, you see, this is what Muslims believe in. And I can guarantee you that most Muslims probably do not believe in that one person, but you have, unfortunately, these kind of people also appearing.

I don't even want to take their names because I know that there are people in our community who support those shuyukh, who stand by those shuyukh. I don't want to create a problem here. But the point is, that you have a lot of these kind of people who don't understand America, who don't understand the Muslims here in America, and they're just creating problems online, so they're using that kind of information.

Advice to Our Youth: Don't Take the Bait

The last one, and I really want our youth to listen to this very carefully. You see, you have a lot of people, a lot of Christians, a lot of Christian apologetics, who are, I would say this, they all want to be a Charlie Kirk. Okay, they all want to try to be like Charlie Kirk.

So, what do they do? They go to university campuses, and they are setting up their table, they have an English Qur'an in their hand, and they're trying to grab all the Muslim students. We want you to come and argue with us. We want you to come and debate us. We want you to come and talk to us. And again, unfortunately, unfortunately, you have many Muslim emotional young people, you know, and there's a very, there's something that we say generally, like in Pakistan, josh and no hosh, you know. So, basically, you have all these kids who come, and they start arguing with them.

I'm advising every single Muslim youth out there who is going to college, or is going to university, all over America, please take this advice. Do not give them what they want. Like, we have to be a little more smarter. Unfortunately, we are such an emotional community, that we see this, and they're gonna have all these nonsensical things.

At the time of the Prophet, people said things about the Prophet. He ignored them. Yet, when they sit here on these tables in these universities, and they are so well funded on the back end, so well funded on the back end. Some of them are making $75,000 a year by just going to universities, and sitting there on tables.

And yet, unfortunately, many of our youth, brothers and sisters, do not think with their head, but they think, and they process everything through their emotions. So, they're going, and they're trying to argue with them. And these people have no understanding of Qur'an, they have no understanding of Islam and Sunnah, and they're taking verses of the Qur'an out of complete context, and then the Muslim is left dumbfounded.

And you know what social media is? Social media is so hypocritical, that on social media, even when someone says this, they will not even record the response. But they will just take that same one minute, and post it on social media, and then everyone is looking at that clip, that reel, or whatever it may be, they're looking at that small clip, and they're saying, you see, these Christians were asking such a tough question to these Muslim kids, but they don't have an answer.

It's not that they don't have an answer. The person on the back end who's posting this, they only posted this much. And that's why social media in that sense can be very very deceptive. But my advice to all the youth out there, do not give these people what they want. Why can we not think with our heads? Leave them alone, they're not there to listen to you. They're not there to listen and understand.

Allah's Guidance on Those Who Refuse to Believe

You know why I say this? Because Allah says it very clearly, very clearly in Surah Yunus:

Allah's word has been established that they will not believe. Allah then says after that very beautifully:

Even if you gave them every evidence, وَلَوْ جَاءَتْهُمْ كُلُّ آيَةٍ You brought them every proof, every evidence, they're not gonna listen. Why go and bother with these kind of people?

So my young brothers and young sisters, protect your faith, protect your iman, and do not engage with the jahilun. Allah says:

Wallahi, it will drive them nuts. If they see that no Muslim is coming and arguing with them, it's gonna drive them crazy. Do that. Do not give them your attention. Do not let them go and live rent-free in your head. So my advice to all the young brothers and young sisters is, do not give them what they want.

The Remedy: Three Steps from Surah Al-Ahzab

Finally, point number four is, what is the remedy of all this? How do we come across all these challenges and all these pressures? You know Surah Al-Ahzab is very beautiful because Surah Al-Ahzab talks about a lot of changes. It talks about a lot of changes that were very different in society at that time. And whenever change comes, there's always gonna be opposition.

Like when Rasulullah ﷺ went from Baitul Maqdas, he changed the qibla from Baitul Maqdas to Makkah, all the Jewish people at one time they were like, you know what, he's a legit man. He's a genuine man. As soon as that change happened, that is where the attacks began to come. So it was very normal that whenever you're making change, whenever there are changes taking place in Ahkam, there's gonna be some opposition.

And Surah Al-Ahzab talks about the Battle of Trenches, it talks about many other things. Study the tafsir of Surah Al-Ahzab, you'll be blown away. Allah sets the foundation. Because with all these changes coming and all the pressure and all the hatred that's coming towards Islam and Muslims, Allah at the beginning of Surah Al-Ahzab mentions three things. And this is what Allah wants us to do.

Step One: Have Taqwa and Don't Follow Them

The very first thing, instruction that Allah has given us, is:

The very first thing Allah says is, that have taqwa, mean that remain connected to Allah, guard your heart, guard your speech, maintain your character, even when it comes to these kind of people. اتَّقِ اللَّهَ First of all, have this consciousness of Allah. وَلَا تُطِعِ الْكَافِرِينَ وَالْمُنَافِقِينَ Then Allah says, do not follow the disbelievers and the hypocrites.

What do they do? A lot of times, it is known throughout history that in order to fit into certain societies, they were changing their deen over and over again. You see even Christmas that is coming up, you think this is a Christian practice? It's a paganistic belief and a practice. But they changed their deen over and over again. Allah telling us, do not become like them. Under pressure, you cannot just go and begin to cave.

There was a time after 9-11, where so many Muslims began to hide their name. Muhammad became Moe. Khalid became Kelly. All these different people changing their names. Why? Because out of pressure of society. We should not cave. We believe in Allah. We cannot cave in these kind of times.

Step Two: Follow the Quran and Sunnah

Then the second thing is:

Allah is giving us a second instruction. That, follow the Quran and the sunnah of Rasulullah ﷺ. If you hold on to the Quran and sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ, even in times like these, it will grow your tawakkul. It will grow your iman. It will grow your faith. We will not become victims, but we will not have any kind of fear of what they're doing. Yes, this is difficult, but we put our faith in Allah.

Step Three: Put Your Trust in Allah

And finally, the third advice, or the third instruction given by Allah is:

In times like these, put your trust in Allah. We are not there that we're gonna cave, as I said earlier. We're gonna put our trust in Allah. When these people they come and they're trying to put fear into our hearts, Allah talks about this in the Quran:

People have gathered. Like this guy coming next week, people have gathered. But what do we do? We will not give them what they want. We will not act emotionally. And my advice, I'm sorry if I'm a little blunt about this. If you are too emotional of a person, just stay away. If you're too emotional that you cannot handle the situation, just stay away, probably that day or something like that. But this is exactly what they want.

Learning from Recent Events

This same guy, when he went to Dearborn, if you saw what happened in Dearborn, I'm sorry to say this, and I know this might go a little viral, but you have this kind of person, he's taking bacon and putting on the Quran, and then he's trying to burn the Quran, and then not only that, he's trying to go and create havoc, and so forth.

You know Musa Alayhi Salaam, in the Quran, it is mentioned that he said something interesting. He says:

I put this matter in the hands of Allah. Let Allah handle him. You want this person to be stopped? Put your matter in the hands of Allah. When you see this, you say, أُفَوِّضُ أَمْرِي إِلَى اللَّهِ I put my matter in the hands of Allah. Let Allah deal with it. You and I try to go deal with it, they will use that against us. Let Allah deal with it. That is the best way to handle this.

I'm not saying that you cannot feel emotional pain in your heart. Because if you have some emotional pain that what you're seeing, then that means that you are a Muslim, you are a believer. But at the same time, we need to use our aqal.

How many people I've seen even here at Epic with that church coming and so forth, there were some Muslims who were becoming emotional. If you are emotional, and you do something really that is, you know, that goes against intellect, they're gonna use that against us. That's what they want.

When the same man went to Dearborn last time, you have so many young brothers, which really I'm thinking to myself, these young brothers, weren't they thinking through their head? Weren't they thinking with their God-given ability to think? They're chanting over there, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar. That's not smart. It's dumb, honestly. You're giving these young brothers, gave him what he wanted.

And out of that video, what do people say now in America? The Muslims are against free speech. Muslims are behaving like this way. Muslims are behaving like this way. They don't see what he did. They're saying that what those kids did. And that's why again, you want to succeed in these kind of situations? Let's behave the proper way. Do not give them what they want.

Here they're saying that we want to provoke the Muslims. And we as a community at times, not everyone but some of us, marhaban, I'll give you exactly what you want. And then we go and we give them exactly what they want, and that puts the pressure on all the other Muslims. If you think, and you do everything through your emotions, you need to stay away. Because you're not gonna be doing, you might do something that will put the pressure on everyone else.

So that is why may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala help us in these kind of times. May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala give us the tawfiq to apply these three things that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala mentioned in Surah Al-Ahzab, to overcome fear, to overcome this pressure, and to overcome this hate.

Number one is, اتقوا الله, be God conscious, and do not follow their footsteps. Advice number two is, follow the Quran and the sunnah of Rasulallah ﷺ. And the third thing is, put your trust in Allah عز و جل. May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala grant all of us tawfiq.

Three Spiritual Remedies

Just my last advice, because we're a little over time. In times like these, there are many, many du'as and many things that we can do spiritually to uplift us. Three things I will share with you.

The Du'a of Yunus (AS)

Number one is:

When Yunus A.S. was in a difficult situation, he's not, I want you to think about this, he is فَنَادَى فِي الظُّلُمَاتِ He's calling out to Allah in a state of darkness. That could be psychologically or even physically. He was physically in that position. Psychologically also, he has no idea what's going to happen. He called out to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and Allah says, through this du'a we will even save the Muslims. Make this du'a over and over again. لا إله إلا أنت سبحانك إني كنت من الظالمين

Hasbunallahu wa Ni'mal Wakeel

The second du'a I would strongly recommend everyone to read in times like these:

Send Salawat on the Prophet

And the third thing, I strongly recommend everyone to do is, send as many salawat as you can on Rasulullah ﷺ. Rasulullah ﷺ said to his Sahabi that whenever you send your peace and blessings upon him, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will remove the anxiety from your heart. So we send our peace and blessings on Rasulullah ﷺ as much as we can:

As much as you can inshallah. And try to do this and any more else that you can do, please do that inshallah. May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala protect us and may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala protect our upcoming generations. أمين رب العالمين

أقيموا الصلاة أقيموا الصلاة أقيموا الصلاة

Please make sure the rows are complete. If there is any brother standing in the multipurpose hall, please make sure the rows are complete. Often there are 4 or 5 rows and they are all incomplete in the multipurpose hall. Please make sure that the rows are complete.

الله أكبر سمع الله لمن حمده السلام عليكم ورحمة الله السلام عليكم ورحمة الله استغفر الله استغفر الله
