We Begin by praising Allah subhana wa tala and bearing witness that none has the right to be worshiped or unconditionally obeyed except for him and we bear witness that Muhammad sallallah alaihi wasallam is his final messenger we ask Allah to send his peace and blessings upon him the prophets and Messengers that came before him his family and companions that served alongside him and those that follow in his blessed path until the day of judgment and we ask Allah to make us amongst them [Music] these are not verses from the Quran that you have heard recited

and you may have never recited these words yourself but I want to actually start with the most practical thing that I can give you from this before I tell a single story and that is what is authentically narrated from the prophet sallallah alaihi wasallam that the companions of the messenger of Allah Salli wasallam said that he said to us that if you go out on an expedition and you are taken by a surprise attack say they will not be victorious they will not be Victorious and Subhan Allah it's a profound statement that the prophet sallallahu

alaihi wasallam is giving that clearly has a material manifestation in real time when a people people are suffering a scary situation and there is an equivalent to this on a personal level that the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam taught us that when we experience a moment of doubt that when the shatan comes to us and he takes us from a journey of admiring the creation of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to then questioning whether or not there is a Creator in the first place he said at that moment say I believe in Allah I believe in Allah

and it will repel thean affirm your belief in Allah subhana wa tala at the moment that doubt hits and then you will not allow it to settle in your heart and in this situation the prophet Salli wasam gives us another affirmation and I want you to think about it every single time you turn on the news and every single time you follow the cycle and you feel like another devastating twist has happened and it feels like there is no path to Victory they will not be victorious it emanates from The Same Spirit that the prophet

sallallah alaihi wasallam acted upon in the Quran that when they see the opposing Army and it appears to be very large and when the numbers seem not to be in their favor they say Allah is sufficient for us and he is the best protector the same words that ibraim that Abraham peace be upon him said as he was being thrown into the fire but I want to stick with this one for a moment they will not be victorious how will we be victorious they will not be victorious when will we be victorious they will not

be Victorious and it's one thing to say it from here it's another thing to say it from here they will not be Victorious now I take you to a story we are 300 days into a genocide in Gazza the death toll is enormous there have been more children killed in Gazza in the last 10 months than there have been in all combat zones put together over the Last 5 Years around the entire world there are more child amputees in Gaza than amputees in any place in the world and there is a pharaoh that gloats and

that laughs in front of a TV screen and you see it and like every human being and any person who has an ounce of empathy in their heart it hurts for a moment and then that moment carries on and it becomes a day and you can choose at that point to either become indifferent or deflated and despondent or to renew your trust in Allah subhanahu wa taala I want to take you back to the story of the original not the Fon in Benjamin Netanyahu the original Fon and how Allah subhah wa taala foiled his plan

in the wake of his own genocide his child genocide when we look in the story of we find that there are two moments in which he carries out this massacre of children the first one he does so as a precaution as mention that saw a dream in one narration of that dream he saw a fire that came from that came from Jerusalem and that overtook every single home in Egypt except for B is in another narration he saw a child from B is rising to take his throne on top of that some of the MU

mention that IIM had prophesized that a child from his descendants would overthrow a and Fon gathers at his time as we all know the Sahar the sorcerers the fortune tellers The Magicians and he tells them about this dream and to a tyrant all children are disposable there is no regard for human life and he says to his advisers from the susers and the fortune tellers and The Magicians what am I to do with this dream and they say to him that the safest way to deal with this is to murder each and every single child

from kill all the boys that were born this year and spare only the girls and so I want you to think about the operation as it takes place imagine the horror of every mother who already went through the pain of childbirth when the soldiers of Fon show up at her house and are completely Stone Cold to any type of plea from the mom to please spare this child of mine and one by one they murdered each and every single boy that they could find some mothers tried to hide their children but these soldiers were ruthless

and Subhan Allah some of the narrations say 20 30 40,000 boys were killed and as they go through Allah subhah wa tala mentions the inspiration that he gives to the mother of M to to take her son and to put him in the Nile River but that's not all that Allah subhana wa tala says happens Allah subh says and I placed upon you a special love from me and kept you under my watchful eye now Subhan Allah in this situation let's take a step back as the mother puts the one child that survives this genocide

into the Nile River what are the chances of the survival of that child going into the Nile River Allah subhana wa tala says two things other than the promise to bring him back other than the promise to let that child be the source of Victory and that child actually be the nightmare that had other than that Allah subhana says I dressed you with my love and there's something very beautiful about this expression in particular and I want you to think about the children of Gaza and I want you to think about the people of Gaza

with all of the propaganda with all of the islamophobia with all the anti-arab racism and xenophobia that we've we've seen Fester over decades in movies and impressed with all of that a decent human being looks at these people in Gaza and says that doesn't look like a terrorist to me a decent human being looks at the people that are being martyred and says that's not the type of person that I can find Justified even with all of your propaganda to dismember into pieces the way that you have they look at the children of Gazza and

some people's hearts have been brought back to life and some people are starting to find a connection to a cause that they either had no idea about all these years or that they used to stand on the opposite side of I placed upon you love says meaning Allah subh Allah loved him and Allah subhana made him beloved to the creation meaning what as say say no one would look at m not knowing anything about where he was from not knowing anything about the propaganda of the children that would be born that no one looked at

except that they immediately fell in love with him everyone looked at mam because Allah dressed him with a love and immediately loved him meaning you could say everything you wanted about mam but even when The Magicians of saw him the first time something was already in their hearts because Allah subhana T dressed him in a certain way and that's nothing that a tyrant could interfere with and Allah subhana T said and I kept you under my watchful eye this entire time he remained under the protection and the sight of Allah subhana wa tala even when

no one else could watch him I see some of these children from Gaza that walk through the ruins of their camps and have had every single member of their family taken away from them and I remind myself when I look at that as much as I want to pick that child up that Allah subhana wa tala is watching that child and that Allah has a plan for that child what about all the other children that killed that one or this one all of them were sent to their Jenna they were sent to their paradise and

that's what makes the believer different we can see the ugliness of murder and the beauty of martyrdom in the exact same scene we can see how nasty it is on this side and we have certainty and how beautiful it is on the other side without in any way diminishing our outrage of over what has happened here nor losing trust about what is happening there Allah had a plan for them and Allah subhana T had a plan from M and of the M of Allah subhana wa tala the plotting of Allah against the is that not

only would one child survive his genocide but that that child would grow up in his Palace under his eye on his watch and overthrow him and drown him in the sea by the permission of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala the actually tried this again and this is what the scholars mention that there's a second incident where Allah subhana speaks about it in where mentions that we're going to kill all of their boys and we're going to spare their girls and we will usher in an era of complete dominance over them and this was after M had

Believers with him said I know how to deal with this I'll just kill all of their children I know exactly how to deal deal with this I have the Playbook murder their children but the one child he couldn't murder the one child he missed became the reason for his complete downfall because Allah subhana T does not miss they will not be victorious say it from the heart the same heart that's heartbroken over the murder and that has faith and what comes after martyrdom they will not be victorious because Allah subhana wa tala will not miss

is it one of the amputees that has been thrown away into a bordering country where he or she is not wanted is it one of the children who's growing up in the refugee camp and who now has a sense of purpose when their childhood was stolen away from them as to what they want to live the rest of their life doing and what they want to meet after death what is it Allah subhanahu wa taala has a plan and the Tyrant always misses someone the Tyrant always misses a detail Allah subhah waala never misses and

Allah subhana wa tala never loses sight of the details dear brothers and sisters it's hot outside so I'm going to wrap this up insh to spare the people that are sitting outside there are times where we're going to get hit hard we're going to cry a lot we're going to feel a lot of pain and we're going to wonder now what and those are the times that it becomes that much more important for you to lean back on the promise of Allah subhana wa ta'ala and to remember that it was not your Victory to start

with and also that true Victory is found in the willingness to sacrifice for Allah subhana wa tala and the willingness to stand up and that idea of sacrifice that idea of freedom that idea of standing up is resonating now around the world not just in the strip in ways that it never has before says he said that you people consider the victory the conquest to be the conquest of Mecca and indeed the conquest of Mecca was a victory as for us we see the true Victory having come under the tree when we pledged with the

prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam in the midst of negotiations that some people saw as a humiliation for the Muslims and a sign of weakness it was in that that there was a willingness to sacrifice that Allah subhana T rewarded and that doors were opened that they could not see even if it wasn't the ultimate door that they wanted to be opened there's something I want to remind you of with the death and destruction Subhan Allah the man who said this quote a man by the name of Medgar Evers famous Civil Rights icon in the 1960s he

has a famous quote that says you can kill a man but you can't kill an idea it's actually a quote that was on the funeral program of who was murdered at the age of 39 who we're still talking about today he would have been 100 years old next year you can kill a man but you can't kill an idea if you go to the driveway of Medgar Evers in Jackson Mississippi the blood from when he was shot still stains the driveway you actually stand in the blood of a man you can kill a man but

you can't kill an idea and that is the mistake in the miscalculation of every single Tyrant of every single Pharaoh you can kill a man but you can't kill an idea alhamdulillah for an idea that is so potent that is so pervasive that it has spread throughout the world and that we are nurturing in the hearts of our next Generations alhamdulillah for that and when we see the pain I leave you with this Dua of the Prophet sallam ASD mentioned he said that we went out on the day of that the prophet he went out

on the day of and he had 315 people with him and he made the following Dua oh Allah they are naked oh Allah they are Barefoot oh Allah they are Barefoot so provide for them mounts oh Allah they are naked so clothe them oh Allah they are hungry so feed them oh Allah they are Barefoot so give them something to ride upon oh Allah they are naked so clothe them oh Allah they are hungry so feed them and he says he said that the prophet was left the Battle of bad and not a single person

that was with him came out of that battle except that he had a camel or two camels and that he was fully clothed and had extra accessories and that they had something to fill their stomachs with and so we complain to Allah subhana wa ta'ala oh Allah our people are hungry so feed them oh Allah our people are naked so clothe them oh Allah our people do not have clean water so provide them clean water oh Allah our people are under the most mischievous and evil Tyrant that we have known in our lifetime oh Allah

so grant them Victory oh Allah our people are desperate so give them Hope Oh Allah our people are feeling neglected so oh Allah be with them oh Allah our people are sad oh Allah grant them happiness oh Allah our people have been betrayed so oh Allah be their Guardian oh Allah our people have been cut off oh Allah Place Us in solidarity with them oh Allah grant our people inaz and they appressed all over the world victory alhamdulillah for Allah for
