The Shaykh's remarks on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)

The Shaykh : Praise is to Allah; we praise Him, seek His help, and seek His forgiveness. We seek refuge in Allah from the evil of our own souls and from the badness of our deeds. Whomsoever Allah guides, none can mislead, and whomsoever He leaves to mislead, none can guide. And I bear witness that there is no god but Allah alone, with no partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and His Messenger.

Read the saying of Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He): . And the end of this Ummah will not be set right except by what set right its beginning. So whatever was not a religion at that time will not be a religion today.” So, the hadith addresses the Muslims when they are humiliated, colonized, and enslaved by all the disbelieving states, even those that did not have a state in ancient times, but were rather scattered individuals in the lands of the world. Those are the ones upon whom humiliation and poverty were imposed, and who earned the anger of Allah, namely the Jews. We have reached this time in which parts of the lands of Islam have been occupied, including Palestine, which the Jews occupied, and now…
