00:00:00.000 A little virus, which we do not even know, a little virus.
00:00:04.260 Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is saying, you know what?
00:00:07.580 I am in control.
00:00:09.840 Just to let everybody know.
00:00:30.000 Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, the most merciful, the most just.
00:00:43.420 I'll praise His glory and gratitude belong to Him.
00:00:45.780 I came to Turkey last Monday night, Tuesday morning, for a little break, for a little holiday, alhamdulillah.
00:00:52.800 And also I had a few things to do as well.
00:00:55.360 So I thought I'd just do both of them at the same time.
00:00:58.340 And then we saw the escalation of the coronavirus in the UK increasing.
00:01:03.620 And as far as I know, right now in Turkey, I've been told that, you know, people have been told to stay away from crowded places.
00:01:08.660 Some people are being sent back from work.
00:01:10.460 So the matter is getting serious.
00:01:12.440 Now, there is a lot of things that we can learn from this, you know, and we should, as Muslims, reflect.
00:01:18.300 You know, because Allah says in the Quran, in Surah Ibram, verse 190, if I'm not mistaken,
00:01:24.980 In the creation of the heavens and the earth, and in the alternation of the night and day, there are signs for those who have wisdom.
00:01:41.960 The ones who, you know, use the intellect.
00:01:43.900 And we have to use our intellect.
00:01:46.380 So it's not just signs, you know, when we look at the creation of the heavens and the earth, and in the alternation of the night and day.
00:01:50.860 But when we look around us, these signs, yeah, be it diseases, whatever it may be, as Muslims, what do we take from this?
00:01:57.140 Now, the first thing that we need to acknowledge and understand, brothers and sisters, is that the chaos that's happening.
00:02:04.920 So you see, like, you know, Black Friday sales, etc., when people are going in a mad one, trying to kick people in the face, you know, take people's eyes out for the TV they already have at home.
00:02:13.440 It's just psychological, you know, yes, I need to go and get something.
00:02:16.440 Why? I don't know.
00:02:17.180 I just need to go and get it.
00:02:18.400 So we're in this chaos.
00:02:19.480 Now, this time, it's not TV.
00:02:21.980 It's not computer.
00:02:23.540 It's toilet rolls.
00:02:24.340 Now, I'm very curious, why toilet rolls?
00:02:27.900 You know, I'm thinking the least case that's going to happen is you're just going to need water to wash your backside, you know, and maybe use a towel or something to dry it, you know.
00:02:35.460 You don't need to fight over toilet rolls.
00:02:37.440 But when you see Muslims falling for this and acting like animals, you know, and behaving like animals, we should be people that don't only just care about ourselves, but others. 1.00
00:02:46.900 But there's another lesson to be learned from this. 0.89
00:02:48.420 Another lesson that we should learn from this is the following.
00:02:50.520 Look how people are acting because there is a disease that we do not know about.
00:02:55.700 They are acting like it's Yawm Al-Qiyamah.
00:02:57.980 It's the day of judgment.
00:02:59.980 Now, this is not even a matter of people going to the fire or not.
00:03:03.320 So if people are so selfish when it comes to their self over a toilet roll, imagine the day of judgment when they're going to be thrown into the fire.
00:03:10.080 The very people that you follow, celebrities, Muslim, YouTubers, myself, whoever it may be, you know, we're going to be caring about ourself.
00:03:17.240 Let that be a reminder.
00:03:18.620 I will be going about my own business.
00:03:20.900 I'll be caring about myself, nobody else.
00:03:23.800 Another thing that is profound and I think is a hikmah between behind coronavirus is that we can't come and say, OK, first it started with, OK, maybe it's a punishment for China. 0.99
00:03:33.540 Maybe, maybe not.
00:03:35.220 However, I think this is a warning to all of us because before I would think to myself, people live in a selfish times where we look at brothers and sisters and we become desensitized in Syria and people being blown up into pieces and we think, ah, that would never happen to us.
00:03:49.100 Well, guess what?
00:03:49.600 Allah is not dropping bombs on us, but the whole wide entire world is now on the verge of panic, paranoia.
00:03:58.240 Who's got it?
00:03:58.700 Somebody coughs.
00:03:59.920 I would have been like, subhanAllah. 1.00
00:04:00.880 Has he got it?
00:04:01.680 Now, we are afraid to come out our houses just like our brothers and sisters who are afraid to come out because bombs might be falling.
00:04:07.980 Now, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has a sunnah to make us feel that fear. 0.69
00:04:11.560 And Allah says in the Quran that he will test us with fear, with loss of life and wealth, etc, etc, etc.
00:04:17.580 And fear is one of those.
00:04:19.220 Now, we live in absolute fear.
00:04:20.720 Have I got the coronavirus?
00:04:21.660 I don't want to get the coronavirus.
00:04:23.160 We're living in that fear.
00:04:24.920 And Allah will do that.
00:04:25.700 When you care about yourself, when you turn away from the Quran and the sunnah and all you care about is making money, increasing your lifestyle, you know,
00:04:31.040 buying new shoes, clothes, etc.
00:04:33.900 When you only care about yourself, the fear will come into your very household and that's exactly what's happening.
00:04:39.520 That's point number one.
00:04:41.860 Point number two, brothers and sisters, what I want to touch upon is that there is a hadith of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,
00:04:47.860 which states the following.
00:04:50.340 And I saw this on Ustad Yahya's post.
00:04:51.980 I'm just profound.
00:04:52.780 The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said,
00:04:54.140 Immorality never appears amongst people to such an extent that they commit it openly,
00:04:59.780 but plagues and diseases that were never known among the predecessors will spread among them.
00:05:04.940 Subhanallah.
00:05:05.380 But if this is not a sign, if this is not a sign, new diseases, when people are committing immorality,
00:05:11.900 one of the signs of their judgment is that people will have in fornication out on the streets and the best amongst them
00:05:16.040 will be the ones who would come and say to them, look, at least go behind the wall.
00:05:19.880 That's going to be the best amongst them.
00:05:20.940 If you can do it, just do it behind the wall.
00:05:22.880 That's the best amongst them, you know.
00:05:24.560 When that happens, these diseases are going to prevail.
00:05:26.680 What we need to understand is the following, yeah, that you are living in God's planet.
00:05:31.400 If you don't want to obey his laws, leave the planet.
00:05:35.520 Well, you're going to go to, when we say, you know,
00:05:37.720 Alhamdulillahi Rabbil Alamin, or praise you belong to the Lord of whole entire mankind.
00:05:42.780 Yeah?
00:05:43.260 Anywhere you go belongs to him.
00:05:44.880 You choose not to obey him, this is what happens.
00:05:47.700 Now, some people might see this as harsh, you know, the problem of evil, your God.
00:05:51.820 Hold on a second, what about all the transgression that we do towards God?
00:05:55.360 All the transgression that we do.
00:05:57.300 And he's given us so many blessings, but we choose to go and do the evil acts.
00:06:01.400 The haram acts.
00:06:02.740 You've got so many juices, but you want to drink alcohol.
00:06:04.580 So many meats, but you want to eat pork, you know.
00:06:06.680 And I'm talking to, you know, Muslims and those who, you know, in general.
00:06:10.200 That's point number two for us to learn.
00:06:12.660 Point number three, which I found really profound,
00:06:15.880 is when this happens, a little virus, which we do not even know, a little virus.
00:06:21.200 Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala in the nashya was saying, you know what?
00:06:23.080 Allah, I am in control.
00:06:26.600 Just to let everybody know that Allah is basically, and in a nutshell you can see,
00:06:31.900 seeing, look, I'm in control.
00:06:34.740 What's happening in India, China, oppression, whoever, whatever's going on around the world.
00:06:40.000 To the Muslims as well.
00:06:40.980 This is a severe warning to the Muslims as well. 0.95
00:06:43.160 You've left the Quran and the Sunnah. 0.92
00:06:44.600 Allah is saying, I am in total control.
00:06:47.760 Allah is in absolute control and he's letting you know who the real boss is. 1.00
00:06:53.140 So you can humble yourself down.
00:06:54.620 Don't walk on the earth proudly.
00:06:56.620 Because your feet cannot, you know, open up the earth.
00:07:00.280 It's a lesson for us to humble yourself.
00:07:03.440 Because the one who is in control of the earth and the universe 0.94
00:07:07.020 is letting you know a little virus, just a little virus,
00:07:09.640 that you can't even maybe detect yourself, you can't even see it.
00:07:12.520 You know, you can only see the symptoms, you know.
00:07:15.100 You know, I'll send that little thing, you know.
00:07:16.740 And that will cause panic.
00:07:17.960 Let alone something severe.
00:07:19.720 That's point number three.
00:07:21.540 Now, point number four, brothers and sisters.
00:07:23.260 As Muslims, we should know better.
00:07:24.980 What can we do to help our wider community? 0.99
00:07:27.720 Not myself, go and buy toilet rolls, fight over it, punch people. 0.89
00:07:31.620 This is disgusting behaviour. 1.00
00:07:33.620 Yeah, absolutely pathetic. 1.00
00:07:35.500 As Muslims, we should know. 1.00
00:07:36.480 I heard a couple in Scotland is preparing his little medical kits.
00:07:40.280 Look at how beautiful that is.
00:07:41.540 To give to their neighbours.
00:07:43.180 Yeah?
00:07:43.780 This is how, as Muslims, we should be.
00:07:45.240 Hey, how can I help somebody else?
00:07:48.240 Rather than helping myself, you know.
00:07:51.000 So, let's think and plan and think, you know, how can I help my neighbours?
00:07:54.540 Is there elderly?
00:07:55.720 You know, we should have, as Salam, our organisation, we're planning,
00:07:58.460 okay, how can we help the elderly, Muslim or non-Muslim, 1.00
00:08:00.780 who may not be able to come out of their house, they're vulnerable.
00:08:03.040 How can we do their shopping, etc.?
00:08:04.440 We're thinking of ways, how can we do that as a Salam organisation, you know.
00:08:08.920 That is what we're planning to do.
00:08:09.840 And I'm sure AERA and the other organisations are doing the same as well.
00:08:13.060 How can we help other people?
00:08:15.020 That's point number four.
00:08:16.720 Point number five, that's this issue of the niqab ban. 0.99
00:08:20.320 Now, the niqab ban is quite funny now, because it was like, you know, security risk, you know, 1.00
00:08:25.860 nations were using this as security risk, you know,
00:08:28.420 and we want to see the faithless oppression.
00:08:31.160 How can they have communication with someone that covers their face?
00:08:33.420 It's interesting, very interesting.
00:08:35.900 You know, it's so interesting, I'm going to put my feet up
00:08:37.440 and address this issue like that, you know, in this manner.
00:08:40.400 It's so interesting, because the thing is, now it's shown that
00:08:44.220 this is not a matter of security, this is not a matter of
00:08:47.260 how you're going to communicate with someone you can't see.
00:08:50.040 Well, you communicate with a lot of people over the phone that you can't see.
00:08:52.280 And you have to take communication, you know, you understand each other,
00:08:54.760 you know, you're talking, yeah, the niqab doesn't stop you. 0.98
00:08:57.120 Niqab doesn't mean you shut your mouth, you know.
00:08:59.340 Now, that has exposed these Islamophobe countries.
00:09:03.420 All of these countries, yeah, be it France, wherever it may be,
00:09:06.980 that have a problem with the niqab, the niqab ban.
00:09:10.240 It's not a niqab ban.
00:09:11.380 All these people, be it Muslims, wherever it may be,
00:09:14.180 their problem is not that. 0.99
00:09:15.660 The problem they have is with Islam. 1.00
00:09:18.380 These are just excuses.
00:09:20.120 This has shown that now people are covering their faces,
00:09:23.600 you're not coming out of the houses, you know,
00:09:25.720 you can have communication with these people,
00:09:27.640 you can talk to these people, they're not a security risk, yeah?
00:09:31.180 You can have all of these.
00:09:32.100 Now it's come to light that, look, that's not the issue.
00:09:35.800 So let's just expose them.
00:09:36.820 So there's a lot of wisdoms behind it and reasons why things happen.
00:09:40.920 Everything happens for a reason.
00:09:41.980 And it's important as Muslims for us to reflect upon it.
00:09:45.420 And I'm going to finish on this now, brothers and sisters,
00:09:47.880 that once again, alhamdulillah,
00:09:49.900 this should be a sign for us to get closer to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
00:09:53.820 This should get closer to us,
00:09:55.440 understanding the Quran and Summa instead of turning our back against it
00:09:58.360 and involving, indulging in the worldly affairs
00:10:00.940 where Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has put everything to halt.
00:10:04.820 The markets are collapsing, yeah?
00:10:09.040 People don't know how they're going to survive, yeah?
00:10:11.720 This shows you that one little virus can flip the whole thing upside down.
00:10:16.200 And I hope that this is a reminder for us
00:10:19.360 to show who is really in control, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
00:10:23.180 And He is in control of all your affairs, everything.
00:10:27.200 So put your trust in Him.
00:10:28.160 If you pass away due to this,
00:10:29.820 we know that if somebody, the Prophet ï·º said,
00:10:31.400 if dies from plague or certain diseases, etc.,
00:10:33.760 they will die as a martyr.
00:10:35.380 Inshallah, be patient.
00:10:36.660 Look after the vulnerable, the elderly,
00:10:38.780 your parents, non-Muslim, Muslim. 0.77
00:10:41.240 Take care of the white community as a whole 1.00
00:10:44.280 instead of being selfish like animals 0.99
00:10:47.020 and fighting one another.
00:10:48.880 Learn to share.
00:10:50.040 Because your risk, what is destined for you,
00:10:53.160 is going to reach you.
00:10:54.620 So don't think you're taking somebody else's.
00:10:56.360 You're just causing yourself sin.
00:10:59.120 So, inshallah, brothers and sisters,
00:11:00.300 that's about it from me.
00:11:01.200 I thought I'd give you guys a little reminder
00:11:02.600 and just a little light joke on the side.
00:11:05.420 This is the reason why
00:11:06.460 Turkey has maybe nearly low cases of this.
00:11:10.860 virus.
00:11:11.680 Here's a little video which I took in the toilet.
00:11:13.960 Please check it out.
00:11:14.900 Till next time.
00:11:15.540 Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
