Abundant, 0:25 pure, and blessed praise, as He loves. 0:28 O Allah, send blessings and peace upon 0:29 our master Muhammad and upon the family 0:31 of our master Muhammad. Still 0:33 broadcasting from Jalan Masjid 0:34 Silaturahim number 36, Kalimagis, 0:36 Cibubur, Bekasi, this is Radio 0:38 Silaturahim and Rasil TV for the one 0:40 Islam. Peace be upon you, and Allah's 0:42 mercy and blessings. Brothers and 0:43 sisters, may Allah have mercy on you. 0:46 We are very happy this Thursday morning 0:48 to meet you again in the "Reflections 0:51 under the auspices of the Qur'an" 0:53 program for the March 5th edition. And 0:57 we have entered the 15th or 16th day of 1:01 the month of Ramadan, 1447 Hijriah. 1:04 Praise be to Allah, it has been half a 1:06 month, we are already in the middle of 1:09 this month of Ramadan. Praise be to 1:11 Allah, our fasting and our worship are, 1:13 God willing, being made easier, 1:15 smoother, and accepted by Allah 1:16 Subhanahu wa ta'ala. And there is still 1:19 half a month left. God willing, we will 1:21 maximize and optimize it with sunnah 1:23 worship and especially mandatory 1:25 worship, God willing. Brothers and 1:27 sisters, wherever you may be, may you 1:29 always be granted health by Allah 1:31 Subhanahu wa ta'ala. Praise be to Allah 1:33 , our teacher has arrived in the studio 1:35 , Ustadz. Peace be upon you, and 1:36 Allah's mercy and blessings, Ustadz. 1:37 And unto you be peace, and Allah's 1:38 mercy and blessings. 1:39 Are you doing well and in good health, 1:41 Ustadz? 1:41 Praise be to Allah, thanks to Allah, 1:43 and there is no power nor strength 1:44 except by Allah. And we heard that one 1:47 of our teachers, Ustadz Abul Hidayat 1:49 Seroji, was sick last night and is 1:51 being treated in the hospital, Ustadz. 1:53 Perhaps we could ask for your prayers, 1:54 Ustadz. 1:54 Certainly. Let us recite al-Fatihah 1:56 first, then we will pray for him, yes. 1:57 Very well. 2:00 I seek refuge in Allah from the 2:01 accursed Satan. In the name of Allah, 2:06 the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 2:12 All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the 2:15 worlds. The Most Gracious, the Most 2:18 Merciful. Master of the Day of Judgment 2:24 . You alone we worship, and You alone 2:28 we ask for help. Guide us to the 2:33 straight path, the path of those upon 2:39 whom You have bestowed favor. Amen. In 2:54 the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, 2:56 the Most Merciful. All praise is due to 2:58 Allah, Lord of the worlds. O Allah, 3:01 send blessings and peace upon Your 3:03 servant and messenger, our master 3:06 Muhammad, and upon his family and 3:08 companions. O Allah, we ask You by Your 3:12 beautiful, pure, and most beloved name, 3:15 which if You are called upon by it, You 3:18 grant, and if You are asked by it, You 3:21 show mercy. Forgive us, have mercy on 3:25 us, and bless us in this noble month. 3:30 Help us, O our Lord, in Your obedience, 3:32 Your gratitude, and the excellence of 3:34 Your worship. O Allah, Lord of mankind, 3:37 take away the pain. Cure, for You are 3:40 the Healer, there is no cure but Yours, 3:42 and You are the One who restores health 3:43 . Cure, O our Lord, Your servant, our 3:48 brother, Ustadz Abul Hidayat Seroji. O 3:53 Allah, O our Lord, grant him health, 3:56 pardon him, expand his chest, enlighten 3:58 his heart, and give him strength, O our 4:01 Lord, so he may continue his struggle 4:03 in Your path and with Your words. O 4:07 Allah. And by Your mercy, O Most 4:19 Merciful of the merciful. And all 4:21 praise is due to Allah, Lord of the 4:22 worlds. 4:23 Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen, O Lord of the 4:25 worlds. A prayer for the recovery of 4:27 Ustadz Seroji. 4:28 May he be granted a perfect recovery by 4:30 Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala. And likewise 4:32 for the brothers and sisters who are 4:33 currently being tested with illness. 4:35 May you be granted patience and, of 4:37 course, recovery. 4:39 Alright, Ustadz. As usual, we will have 4:42 a dialogue and invite the participation 4:44 of brothers and sisters who might want 4:47 to ask questions to Ustadz Husin Alas, 4:49 please send them to our short message 4:52 line at 0811999720. Ustadz, we start 4:59 with what is still a hot topic now, 5:01 regarding the escalation happening in 5:03 the Middle East, Ustadz. We see that 5:06 the escalation in the Middle East feels 5:08 like it is still very intense, Ustadz. 5:11 And worrying for the world, Ustaz. 5:13 Especially worrying for us in Indonesia 5:15 as well, Ustaz. The public, Ustaz. 5:18 However, as Muslims, we believe that 5:21 not a single leaf falls without Allah's 5:25 permission, Ustaz. Especially with such 5:29 a major upheaval, Ustaz. We want to 5:32 delve deeper into how the Quran maps 5:35 out the conflict happening in the 5:37 Middle East. Is this merely 5:41 geopolitical dynamics, or is there some 5:45 prophetic signal underway, Ustaz? To a 5:49 layperson, it might look like a war 5:53 over territory and resources. We would 5:57 appreciate your guidance, Ustaz. How 6:00 does the Islamic perspective and the 6:02 verses of the Quran guide us in reading 6:04 the reality of this escalation in the 6:06 Middle East, Ustaz? That is all, Ustaz. 6:10 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious 6:11 , the Most Merciful. All praise is due 6:14 to Allah, Lord of the worlds. O Allah, 6:16 send prayers, peace, and blessings upon 6:20 Your servant and Messenger, our master 6:23 Muhammad, and upon his family and 6:25 companions. O Allah, grant us mercy 6:29 from Yourself and guide us to useful 6:31 knowledge, and benefit us with what You 6:33 have taught us. Our Lord, increase us 6:37 in knowledge and join us with the 6:39 righteous. To proceed. Brothers and 6:43 sisters who are blessed by Allah. If 6:47 our hearts are truly sincere in seeking 6:52 the truth, open to receiving insights 6:58 that enlighten our thinking, seeing 7:04 everything objectively rather than 7:07 subjectively, we will be able to see 7:10 the truth clearly. Especially with the 7:15 explanations provided by Allah in the 7:18 verses of His Book, in which there is 7:21 no crookedness. Likewise, there is no 7:25 doubt, and also in the Sunnah of our 7:27 Prophet Muhammad, may Allah's peace and 7:29 blessings be upon him and his family. 7:32 The Sunnah here is understood to 7:35 encompass all aspects of human life 7:38 exemplified by our Prophet, not just 7:41 limited to ritual matters. Some people 7:52 assume that what is happening now is a 7:57 war between America and Iran. Then some 8:08 Sunni circles provide support to 8:11 America because they consider Shi'ism a 8:15 deviant and dangerous belief that, if 8:21 left unchecked, will cause misguidance 8:23 among the Ummah. Then we ask ourselves, 8:28 is this logic correct? Before the 8:33 Islamic revolution, how intimate were 8:37 the relations between Saudi Arabia, the 8:40 UAE, and Iran. How intimate was the 8:44 relationship between them. Even though 8:47 at that time Iran was the same as it is 8:50 today. They, including the Shah of Iran 8:53 , were of the Shi'a school of thought. 8:57 But why was there no anti-propaganda 9:00 against them? In fact, we witnessed how 9:02 intimate the relations were between 9:05 Gulf countries like Saudi Arabia and 9:07 them. Because at that time, their 9:09 masters were the same, namely America. 9:13 America placed the Shah of Iran as a 9:16 successor to his father, or the British 9:19 together with America placed the Shah 9:23 on his throne. Likewise with those who 9:26 placed the House of Saud. The same 9:30 applies to the rulers in the United 9:32 Arab Emirates. Similarly, in Kuwait and 9:35 Qatar, it was the British who installed 9:38 them, who were later joined by the 9:43 Americans. Because British power began 9:47 to wane, America joined Britain to 9:50 safeguard the regions under their 9:54 control. This has been since the 9:59 mandate given to Britain after the 10:01 defeat of the Ottoman Empire. It turns 10:07 out Britain abused its power and 10:09 divided Arab nations to weaken Islamic 10:13 strength, installing their own puppets 10:16 as rulers. Therefore, what have Saudi 10:21 Arabia and the Gulf states done, Rizal? 10:25 Notice, they have never once been 10:28 involved in a war against whom? Against 10:31 the Zionists, 10:33 against the enemies of Islam. When King 10:37 Faisal veered off that path, daring to 10:40 raise his head against the Zionists, 10:44 what was his fate? Killed by his nephew 10:48 . Killed by 10:50 his nephew on whose orders? The 10:52 Zionists 'orders. But why is it that in 10:56 Islamic countries, when conflict arises 10:58 between fellow Muslims, they get 11:01 involved? 11:02 In Algeria. 11:03 Yes. 11:05 Syria, Yemen, and likewise in Libya. 11:09 Libya. 11:10 Now in Sudan. They are the ones 11:13 providing weapons and funds to armed 11:15 groups to slaughter their fellow Muslim 11:17 brothers indiscriminately. The elderly, 11:21 women, children. So, every time there 11:25 is strife among Muslims, including the 11:28 attacks on Iran. This is not the first 11:31 time. 11:32 Back during the time of Saddam Hussein, 11:35 how the Gulf states and Saudi Arabia 11:38 pushed Saddam to declare war on Iran. 11:41 Because they feared the Islamic 11:44 revolution might spread. The people in 11:47 the Gulf countries and Arab states 11:49 would demand the establishment of a 11:51 true Islamic government. Because at the 11:55 birth of the Islamic revolution, they 11:58 combined state or government and 12:00 religion. And this does not happen in 12:05 Saudi Arabia because religion and state 12:07 are separated. It does not happen in 12:10 other Arab countries either. But it was 12:12 Iran that proclaimed the Islamic 12:14 Republic of Iran. A country based on 12:19 Islamic Sharia, where its leaders are 12:21 all subject to the rules and laws of 12:24 Islam. This displeases America, 12:28 displeases the Zionists, and also 12:30 displeases Western countries. Allah has 12:34 already given a warning in Surah 12:35 Al-Baqarah. "Walan tardha' ankal yahudu 12:39 walan nashara hatta tattabi'a..." it is 12:42 not "hutta tatabiahum", no. 12:45 Hatta. Never will the Jews or 12:51 Christians be pleased with you until 12:54 you follow their*millah*, not follow 12:56 their religion. 12:59 You remain Muslim, but your*millah*and 13:02 lifestyle mirror Western life. In 13:05 Arabic, the word*millah*here is similar 13:10 to the word*sunnah*. The*sunnah*of the 13:13 Prophet, the*millah*of Abraham. There 13:15 is the*sunnah*of the Prophet which is 13:17 in line with*sunnatullah*. There is the 13:18 *sunnah*of ignorance (*jahiliyah*). Now 13:21 , if a Muslim nation or Islamic 13:23 government, even if the people are 13:26 Muslim, adopts the lifestyle or*millah* 13:28 of the disbelievers, they will be 13:31 welcomed warmly. They will even say 13:35 that this country is a moderate nation. 13:38 The Islamic leader is a wise and modern 13:41 leader. Because of what? Because they 13:43 are willing to compromise with them. 13:45 But if a country or a nation wants to 13:48 uphold Islamic Sharia and refuses to 13:50 follow their lifestyle, then to them, 13:52 they are the enemy. I remember when 13:56 Condoleezza Rice, the American 13:58 Secretary of State, witnessed some Arab 14:04 countries demanding independence. 14:07 Meaning absolute freedom and 14:09 sovereignty, not under the grip of the 14:11 Zionists and America. Because at that 14:14 time, they wanted to rearrange the map 14:18 of the Arab world. Condoleezza replied 14:23 on behalf of America, "We prefer to 14:26 side with loyalty rather than democracy 14:29 ." So, if democracy conflicts with 14:34 loyalty to us, we will side with 14:36 loyalty, 14:38 like in Algeria. When Islamic groups 14:42 succeed in winning an election, America 14:45 immediately steps in, mobilizing Saudi 14:48 Arabia to send weapons for what purpose 14:50 ? For political opponents to create 14:55 chaos. The same thing happened when 14:58 Sudan was led by Jafar Nimeiry at that 15:00 time, suddenly Saudi Arabia sent 15:06 reinforcements to South Sudan. South 15:09 Sudan, which was occupied by what? By 15:11 Christian groups 15:12 that were at war and conflict with 15:14 North Sudan. That was the government 15:16 led by Nimeiry. 15:20 When the aid was opened, it was labeled 15:22 as humanitarian aid, but inside there 15:24 were weapons. So at that time Nimeiry 15:29 asked, "O servant of the two holy 15:31 cities, have you turned into an infidel 15:33 ?""O servant of the two holy cities, 15:37 have you left Islam to side with the 15:40 infidels?""Or has John Garang converted 15:44 to Islam so that you provide them with 15:47 weapons to slaughter us?" That is not a 15:52 fake story. The reality is that Saudi 15:56 Arabia always sides with what? With 16:01 forces that oppose Islam. Because they 16:05 do not like the establishment of an 16:06 Islamic government. When Morsi and the 16:09 Muslim Brotherhood succeeded in taking 16:12 over the government in Egypt, Saudi 16:16 Arabia truly tried to do what? To 16:19 topple that government. Sending massive 16:22 funds to opposition circles. Then what? 16:27 Providing blank checks. Feel free to 16:29 write any amount. The important thing 16:31 is that Morsi must be finished. Because 16:35 this will be a dangerous precedent for 16:37 them. If an Islamic government is 16:42 established in Egypt, it will cause 16:45 unrest. We even witnessed how the 16:46 Emirates were angry, the United Arab 16:48 Emirates were incredibly angry. 16:50 Likewise with Saudi Arabia. So every 16:52 time there is an attempt to build an 16:54 Islamic government it is always what? 16:57 They become the front-line opponents 16:59 because they have their controllers. 17:02 They do not move of their own volition. 17:04 If it were up to their own choice, they 17:06 would refuse. But their masters are the 17:09 ones ordering them. When Yemen was 17:12 controlled by the Houthis who announced 17:15 an Islamic government, Netanyahu 17:17 immediately left for America. He gave a 17:21 lecture before the Jewish lobby, AIPAC. 17:24 He gave a lecture in Congress demanding 17:26 that America launch an attack. America 17:29 did not attack directly because if they 17:31 did, the Islamic world would surely do 17:33 what? Would be angry. They ordered 17:36 their puppet, Saudi Arabia, to launch 17:39 an attack against the Houthis. Even 17:41 though at that time they were not 17:43 conducting any attacks. But why were 17:47 they so close during the era of Ali 17:50 Abdullah Saleh, even though Yemen was 17:53 already Shia long before the Houthis? 17:56 Then I heard a preacher from the 17:58 Wahhabi circles say that the Houthis 18:01 were immigrants who came from Iran. 18:05 They dare to lie in the eyes of the 18:08 world, even though it is clear the 18:10 Houthis are indigenous people of Yemen. 18:13 H 18:14 if they cooperate with Iran. Yes. So we 18:18 see, Kang Rizal, here that every time 18:20 there is conflict among Muslims, Saudi 18:23 and the United Arab Emirates are always 18:25 involved. If not their hands, at least 18:27 their fingers are involved. That was a 18:31 statement by Ali Abdullah Saleh in a 18:34 speech; he said*lam yakun lis-Saudiya 18:37 yad fainna laha isba '*. If their hands 18:41 are not directly involved, then their 18:44 fingers are. But why does every 18:48 resistance against the Zionists cause 18:50 Saudi Arabia and the UAE to shrink and 18:52 back away? For example, look at their 18:54 attitude toward their brothers in Gaza. 18:58 We even see the Saudi people, their 19:00 prominent figures, saying, "Netanyahu, 19:02 slaughter all the Palestinians so we 19:04 can sit in peace." They feel disturbed 19:07 by the resistance of our brothers in 19:09 Gaza. There are even their observers 19:12 who say the land of Palestine belongs 19:15 to the Jews as promised by God. We see 19:19 how treacherous they are. Now, when 19:22 Iran stands up to help their brothers 19:25 in Palestine, this is what causes the 19:28 American Zionists to immediately 19:30 declare war. If left unchecked, this is 19:34 very dangerous. Suddenly, Arab 19:37 countries like Saudi Arabia and the 19:38 Gulf states stab them in the back. They 19:42 start spreading poisonous propaganda 19:44 everywhere. What I pity are these 19:48 Salafi circles who are so easily fooled 19:51 . They focus on talking about things 19:55 that are ritualistic. Sunnah and bid'ah 19:58 are restricted to these matters. As for 20:01 the sunnah of upholding justice, 20:03 building a government that truly cares 20:06 for the people, and enforcing God's law 20:08 , they do not care. Therefore, the 20:12 Saudi government is actually a secular, 20:16 absolute monarchy; it's only Islamic on 20:19 the surface. Then, as custodians of the 20:23 two holy cities, they truly open up, 20:26 yes, services and present beautiful 20:31 sights. So much so that some Muslims go 20:33 there not to worship. They say we are 20:35 proud that the two holy cities are no 20:38 less than Las Vegas. Las Vegas is a 20:40 gambling region, isn't it? H. 20:43 So it is not that they humble 20:45 themselves, returning from Makkah with 20:47 faith and piety. But instead, it is 20:50 hedonistic displays that are showcased. 20:53 So, Kang Rizal, if we observe together, 20:56 this war is not just between the 20:59 American Zionists and Iran. Iran is 21:03 just what? It is just one of them. But 21:07 what do they really want? To paralyze 21:10 Islamic power so that countries with 21:13 Muslim majorities become their loyal 21:15 puppets. And the Prophet told us about 21:19 this long ago. The Messenger of Allah, 21:25 peace be upon him, said, "Yushiku an 21:27 tada'a alaikumul umam.""The time is 21:30 near." Nations will invite one another. 21:35 Not coming to their homes, not coming 21:38 to their lands, they will invite one 21:40 another to come to Islamic territories. 21:45 From guests, they become hosts, 21:47 inviting people to come and swarm. " 21:50 Kadaa ta'ada al-' akalat," just as 21:52 people invite one another to gather 21:54 around what? "Al-Qas'ah," a dish of 21:57 food. So, Islamic nations and Muslim 22:03 people are no longer the hosts. They 22:06 are servants serving guests from 22:08 outside who invite each other and treat 22:11 them and their country's wealth as a 22:14 dish to be fought over. "Qalu amin 22:17 qillatin nahnu yaumaidzin." O Messenger 22:20 of Allah. They said, "O Messenger of 22:23 Allah, is it because we are few in 22:25 number at that time?" Answered by the 22:28 Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, 22:31 "Bal antum yaumaidzin kathir.""On the 22:36 contrary, you are actually numerous and 22:38 a majority at that time.""Wa lakinakum 22:43 gutha'un ka-gutha'is-sail.""But you are 22:46 nothing but like gutha." Do you know? 22:49 Never mind. People assume it means foam 22:50 . Not foam. " 22:52 Ghuta" refers to grass and leaves 22:55 floating on the water's surface. As 23:00 Allah says, "Alladzi akhrajal mar'a 23:03 faja'alahu ghuta'an ahwa." 23:06 When leaves and grass are uprooted, 23:08 don't they drift away once the water 23:09 comes? Well, the Muslim community is 23:13 like this "ghuta"—like grass, leaves, 23:16 and trees uprooted from their base, 23:19 being carried away by the current. " 23:24 Wusyilah fi qulubikumul wahan." And at 23:28 that moment, Allah Subhanhu wa Ta'ala 23:33 will place "al-wahan" in your hearts. 23:38 The Arabs know what "wahan" is. When 23:42 they asked, "Qalu famal wahanu ya 23:44 Rasulullah?""What is wahan?" What is 23:46 meant by the root cause of this "wahan" 23:49 ? 23:49 H 23:50 In Arabic, the word "wahan" describes 23:53 someone who has lost their courage and 23:56 the strength to resist. Therefore, the 24:00 word "hina"(despicable) comes from 24:01 Arabic. " 24:02 Wahana-yahinu." The word "hina" 24:05 describes utter disgrace. Where do they 24:09 turn into? People who are despicable, 24:12 having lost their courage. They let 24:14 themselves go from being masters to 24:16 becoming slaves. "Qalu famal wahanu ya 24:20 Rasulullah." They asked what the cause 24:23 of this "wahan" is. The answer was " 24:26 hubbud dunya wa karahiyatul maut." Love 24:28 for the world and fear of facing death. 24:32 They build skyscrapers. Competing to 24:36 raise buildings like Dubai; Saudi 24:38 Arabia will build structures even 24:40 taller than those in Dubai. Then they 24:44 build entertainment venues. We saw 24:47 during the Riyadh season, they even 24:49 took the region where Allah cast his 24:52 curse, Al-Ula, and turned it into what? 24:54 They turned it, may Allah protect us, 24:57 into a place for entertainment and 25:00 immorality. Alcohol is served, and 25:02 adultery is permitted under the guise 25:04 of it being a tourist destination. 25:07 Because they are accustomed to a 25:08 luxurious life, they are unwilling to 25:10 struggle, let alone die in that 25:11 struggle. Look at the Israeli soldiers; 25:14 once faced with bombs here and there, 25:16 they scream, "Please Iran, stop it."" 25:18 Please Iran, stop it.""While crying." 25:21 Meanwhile, in Iran, they are truly 25:23 prepared to die to return to Allah. 25:26 Because this world is not their 25:27 permanent dwelling. They are ready to 25:29 leave this world. Whether dying by 25:32 bullets or dying by nuclear weapons, it 25:34 makes no difference. But those who love 25:36 the world do. So, Kang Rizal, if we 25:42 look at it, Allah has actually 25:44 explained it to us in the Quran, yet we 25:46 deny it. 25:48 They will never be pleased with us 25:50 unless we follow their lifestyle. 25:53 Having religion, but not letting it 25:55 govern life. Instead, having a religion 25:57 that is governed by our lives and 25:59 lifestyles. Wallahu'alam. 26:02 Alright, Ustaz. There are some 26:05 responses from listeners, Ustaz. Uh, 26:08 perhaps a question, Ustaz, from Mr. 26:10 Suhar in Cikarang. 26:11 Please. 26:12 And also from Mrs. Umi here, 26:14 Ustaz. Sometimes we feel confused by 26:17 the many countries and groups in 26:20 conflict. How can we, as laypeople, 26:23 distinguish between a struggle that is 26:25 truly for the sake of Allah 26:28 and one that is only for the interests 26:30 of a group? That is from Mr. Suhar and 26:34 Mrs. Umi. Ustaz, is lasting peace in 26:37 the Middle East actually possible 26:40 before the Day of Judgment, or must we 26:43 prepare for even greater conflicts, and 26:46 how will it affect us here in Indonesia 26:49 ? Well, that is the question, Ustaz. 26:52 This is what the public fears, 26:54 especially those in the lower economic 26:56 class, the economic impact... 26:59 what is it called, the one directly 27:00 felt by the people, Ustaz. 27:01 That is correct. Allah Subhanahu wa 27:05 ta'ala reminds us that this worldly 27:09 life and all its pleasures are mere 27:13 illusions, they are fleeting pleasures. 27:18 Our lives in this world are short. And 27:20 ... 27:21 and we must always be prepared, must be 27:27 prepared to face the call from Allah 27:30 that will come at any moment. Now, for 27:35 our salvation and provision in the 27:37 hereafter, we naturally live our 27:39 worldly lives by pledging our loyalty 27:42 only to Allah. Then, we must be pious 27:47 toward Him. Where our allegiance and 27:51 loyalty belong only to Allah, as He 27:53 taught us at the end of Surah Al-An'am. 27:56 Say, "Indeed, my prayer, my rites of 27:59 sacrifice, my living and my dying are 28:01 for Allah, Lord of the worlds.""No 28:04 partner has He. And this I have been 28:05 commanded, and I am the first of the 28:07 Muslims." If the verse says "wa ana 28:09 awwalul muslimin." Say, O Messenger of 28:13 Allah, my prayer, all my sacrifices, my 28:17 life, and my death, all belong to Allah 28:20 . Isn't that right? 28:21 That's right. 28:21 Now, if Allah asks something of us, 28:22 what should our attitude be? But when 28:25 Allah asks of us, we must let go with 28:27 complete sincerity. Allah will provide 28:30 a reward of eternal and everlasting 28:32 paradise. Unlike this brief life. Then 28:38 the Prophet said, "And I am the first 28:40 of the Muslims," standing at the very 28:43 front as an example for you of those 28:46 who submit to Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala 28:48 . "Will Satan and his minions allow us? 28:54 " To walk the path as Allah desires. 28:59 They will tempt us with worldly 29:02 adornments, sowing hatred, hostility, 29:04 rivalry, and division among us until we 29:07 forget our true purpose. At that moment 29:13 , we will become prey to Satan. Even if 29:17 we appear free, economically prosperous 29:19 , titled, and powerful, we are actually 29:22 heading toward an abyss of eternal ruin 29:25 and destruction. Therefore, Allah 29:29 Subhanahu wa ta'ala at the end of Surah 29:31 As-Saff calls and invites us, offering 29:33 us something. Allah says, "Hal 29:41 adullukum 'ala tijaratin tunjikum min' 29:44 adabin alim.""Shall I guide you to a 29:48 transaction that will save you from a 29:52 painful punishment?""Tu'minuna billahi 29:57 wa rasulihi." You believe in Allah and 29:59 His Messenger. "Wa tujahiduna fi 30:02 sabilillahi bi amwalikum wa anfusikum." 30:05 And you strive in the cause of Allah 30:07 with your wealth and your lives. " 30:12 Dzalikum khairullakum in kuntum 30:13 ta'lamun." That is better for you if 30:16 you only knew, for the value of the 30:18 afterlife promised by Allah is far 30:20 greater than the value of the worldly 30:22 life we sacrifice. " 30:25 Yaghfir lakum dzunubakum." Allah will 30:27 forgive your sins. Allah will admit you 30:34 into gardens of paradise beneath which 30:36 rivers flow. So, Kang Rizal, we must 30:42 truly as a believer, as a Muslim living 30:44 in this world, besides believing in 30:46 Allah, the Prophet, and His book, we 30:48 must believe in the Day of Judgment. 30:55 And we are not justified in remaining 30:56 silent in the face of tyranny, in the 30:58 face of falsehood, in the face of our 31:00 oppressed brothers and sisters while 31:02 sitting idly by to stay safe. And be 31:07 certain that Allah will surely defend 31:09 those who struggle for the sake of 31:11 Allah. In tansurullah yansurkum wa 31:13 yutsabbit aqdamakum. And let us not 31:17 worry about economic problems 31:21 as a result of, let’s say, the 31:23 struggle to defend the truth. If we 31:26 live, we live with honor. If we die, we 31:29 die as martyrs. Rather than living in a 31:32 state of humiliation. bowing our heads, 31:36 living and working against our own 31:38 conscience. It is better to live with 31:41 honor and die as a martyr than to live 31:43 in humiliation, wallowing in disgrace 31:48 and dying in a ridiculous state, not 31:50 knowing for what purpose we died. So, 31:53 truly, this world is the place and 31:55 field where Allah tests us. Which one 31:57 do we prioritize? The world, or Allah 32:00 and the hereafter? Now, the example 32:04 that Ibrahim set and that we always 32:07 commemorate on the day of sacrifice by 32:10 slaughtering a goat, cow, or camel, is 32:13 not actually the ultimate goal. Then 32:17 what is it? When we slaughter a goat, 32:20 cow, or camel as our pledge, we are 32:22 prepared to offer what we love for the 32:24 sake of Allah. Because this goat is a 32:28 substitute for the life of Ismail. When 32:32 Ibrahim was commanded to slaughter 32:34 Ismail without hesitation, Ismail was 32:36 equally prepared to accept Allah's 32:38 decision. Just as Ibrahim was about to 32:41 use his knife, an angel came to him 32:44 saying, "You have successfully passed 32:46 the test." So, when we slaughter our 32:50 sacrifice, what is actually intended by 32:53 this offering is our readiness to offer 32:56 our lives for Allah subhanahu wa taala. 33:01 So, if we view the world as the goal, 33:03 and we prioritize it over the hereafter 33:06 , our lives will be heavy. Now, for the 33:11 fighters in Iran who struggle to defend 33:13 their brothers in Gaza, they are fought 33:15 against, they are turned into enemies, 33:17 and they are blockaded. This war is 33:22 caused by the fact that they side with 33:24 the oppressed Muslims. The Zionists, 33:29 who were once free to do as they 33:30 pleased, suddenly find Iran providing 33:33 support to their brothers. including 33:36 arming Hezbollah to face Israel. Now, 33:41 we ask, what is Iran's goal in sinking 33:44 its claws and power? Not at all, it's a 33:47 huge loss. Witness it from the speeches 33:50 of Sayyid Ali Khamenei. His gentleness, 33:54 he does not use his weapons or his 33:57 strength to face the Muslim community, 33:59 but to face whom? To face the Zionists 34:03 of Israel. What is strange is why they 34:08 are collectively spreading propaganda 34:12 and smearing Iran. But why, when the 34:16 Zionists commit massacres, do they just 34:18 sit idly by? At most, just empty 34:20 statements. And we witness how even the 34:23 UN is powerless. Because once they 34:25 issue a veto, they issue what? A 34:27 resolution, America immediately 34:28 exercises its veto right. And now 34:31 America positions itself as a 34:33 peacemaker. The king of wolves wanting 34:37 to become a peacemaker. Palestine was 34:41 not invited, while Israel was involved. 34:44 Then we in Indonesia were told to pay 34:47 fees. We welcomed it with joy. Even 34:51 though this is a trap. Actually, it 34:54 will not be long before Trump and 34:55 America collapse, just like what 34:57 happened to the Soviet Union. Trump 35:00 might be the cause of America's 35:01 downfall. And do not think that Allah 35:04 only watches; Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala 35:07 gives respite but never neglects. Allah 35:09 allows time to pass, but Allah never 35:11 leaves anyone behind. Whoever is unjust 35:14 on this earth will surely face 35:16 destruction, just as Pharaoh and Nimrod 35:19 did. Now, for the believers, do not be 35:21 afraid as long as you are with Allah. 35:25 We ask, when we were still in the womb, 35:28 who protected us? Our parents were not 35:30 capable of protecting us. When we were 35:32 born from our mother's womb, who 35:35 prepared our mother's milk for us? Our 35:39 mother could not always watch over us 35:42 in solitude or in a crowd. Likewise 35:45 with our education and the sustenance 35:47 that Allah granted us, both while our 35:49 parents were alive and after we became 35:51 independent. Allah Himself intervened 35:53 to provide for us. Now, if Allah 35:56 withholds, that is what we should worry 35:58 about. But if Allah opens, who has the 36:00 power to close it? So do not hang our 36:04 hopes, our lives, on what? On mere 36:08 daydreams. This includes the fear of 36:11 witnessing raging wars, because there 36:14 will be threats in the economic sector. 36:18 Likewise, food supplies will also 36:20 become increasingly scarce. War will 36:24 certainly have consequences. 36:26 But for someone who is with Allah, even 36:28 if the sky falls, Allah will protect 36:30 him. Therefore, do not forget to recite 36:33 : hasbiallah wanikmal wakil, nikmal 36:35 maula wanikman nasir. And one should 36:38 always walk on the path of truth and 36:40 not gather with the unjust. Because by 36:44 gathering with them, when punishment 36:46 descends, we will be involved in it. As 36:48 Allah says, "Wala tarkanu ilalladzina 36:50 zalamu fatamassakumun-nar." Do not 36:54 incline toward those who are unjust. 36:57 Ultimately, you will be struck by the 36:59 torment of hellfire or punishment in 37:01 this world for gathering with them. So 37:05 if we want to associate with righteous, 37:08 just, honest, and pious people, do not 37:10 gather with the unjust or those who 37:12 support injustice. Because gathering 37:18 with them will cause us to be trapped 37:19 in the punishment and wrath of Allah 37:21 Subhanahu wa ta'ala. So back to the 37:25 first question, what qualifies as a 37:28 struggle in the way of Allah? A 37:33 struggle that seeks only the pleasure 37:35 of Allah, not worldly desires. Those 37:39 who fight with complete sincerity 37:41 without self-interest, not wanting to 37:44 expand power or fight over resources, 37:49 or to fight for the fanaticism of their 37:53 group and faction. Those are the people 37:55 who struggle in the way of Allah. I 37:57 want to ask, what does Iran gain by 38:01 helping their brothers in Gaza? What is 38:05 the benefit? 38:08 What if Iran stopped providing support 38:11 for their brothers in Gaza and wanted 38:14 to compromise with the Gulf states and 38:17 Saudi Arabia? I want to ask, do you 38:20 think Iran's position among the Gulf 38:23 states will be lower or higher? In 38:28 terms of power, Iran is stronger, 38:30 and the same goes for their weaponry. 38:31 They don't rely on America or anyone 38:33 else. Just as the Shah of Iran was once 38:36 the ruler of the Gulf, becoming the 38:38 fourth-ranked power in the world at 38:40 that time. Saudi Arabia and the Arab 38:43 states are far below Iran. 38:45 If Iran were willing to compromise, it 38:47 would be elevated again as a leader in 38:49 the Gulf nations and would receive 38:54 support from the West. The same goes 38:56 for America. Then why would they choose 38:59 to sacrifice all of this? Providing 39:03 support to their brothers who have no 39:05 wealth, no oil. Is that right? 39:07 And 39:08 they don't even serve as a market. In 39:10 fact, because of providing support to 39:12 them, they have been blockaded for 39:14 decades. They live struggling in 39:18 hardship but remain patient. They help 39:22 their brothers in Gaza without ever 39:24 requiring them to convert to the Shia 39:26 sect. That is a statement from the 39:29 figures in Gaza. I met with their 39:31 leaders, and we received aid from Iran. 39:35 Bisyarat alla yastarit alaina syai'an. 39:38 On the condition that they do not 39:40 demand anything from us. Iran provides 39:43 aid and even missile technology that 39:44 they previously didn't have. Iran even 39:48 offered Indonesia missile technology 39:50 for free. But as it turned out, 39:56 Indonesia didn't accept it, Gaza did, 39:59 and because of this stance, they were 40:02 blocked, attacked, and faced with 40:05 tremendous defamation. Now, the groups 40:09 and clerics affiliated with Saudi 40:10 Arabia, if Iran were to unite with 40:12 Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states, their 40:14 voices would change immediately. They 40:17 would no longer say that Shia is 40:18 infidel or deviant. Why? It depends on 40:21 their masters above. So the voices 40:24 heard everywhere in Indonesia, 40:26 including Egypt and elsewhere, the 40:29 anti-Iran sentiments or labeling Iran 40:31 as infidel, are actually voices 40:34 stemming from their masters in Saudi. 40:37 Meanwhile, Saudi is controlled by the 40:39 West and Zionists. This is a fact that 40:42 cannot be denied. Whenever there is 40:44 upheaval in the Islamic world, Saudi 40:45 and the Gulf states are involved. But 40:48 if there is a struggle against the 40:50 Zionists, they will stay in the 40:52 background. And this is actually a 40:57 situation that has long been explained 40:59 by the Prophet and in the Quran in the 41:02 final verse of Surah Muhammad. I 41:06 remember when we were in Egypt, reading 41:09 "Fi Zilal al-Qur'an," gathering with 41:12 scholars who read the last verse: "Wa 41:14 in tatawallau yastabdil qawman 41:17 ghayrakum thumma la yakunu amthalakum." 41:20 If you turn away, O Arab nation, from 41:23 this great and noble trust, Allah will 41:26 replace you with other people who are 41:29 not like you. Now it is happening; the 41:32 Arab nations have become traitors. 41:35 Instead, non-Arab nations, including 41:38 Indonesia, the Indonesian people, are 41:40 the ones actively providing support. 41:43 Then there is Iran. Witness also that 41:46 the Mufti of Russia issued a fatwa for 41:48 jihad. The Mufti of Russia and the 41:51 muftis from Central Asian countries 41:54 issued a fatwa to wage jihad. Then we 42:00 also witness figures including Sheikh 42:02 Mahir Hamud from Lebanon and from 42:05 various other countries; long before 42:08 the Iranian revolution, Sheikh Mahmud 42:10 Shaltut, the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, 42:13 explained that Shia is an Islamic 42:15 school of thought that may be studied 42:18 and researched, even with slight 42:21 differences in opinion. Therefore, 42:25 since that time, Jafari jurisprudence 42:28 has been studied in sharia courses as a 42:30 comparative study. In fact, long before 42:33 the outbreak of the revolution, 42:35 Muhammad Baqir al-Sadr, who authored 42:38 the book*Iqtisaduna*(Our Economy), was 42:40 present at a meeting at the Muslim 42:42 World League. He even received an award 42:45 for that book during the time of Faisal 42:47 and it was studied in their university 42:49 campuses. Hm. 42:51 A breakthrough in the economic field. 42:53 Sayyid Qutb. Even before that, Hassan 42:57 al-Banna intentionally invited an 43:00 ayatollah from Iran to come to Egypt to 43:04 explain what Shia is. Not from the 43:08 Muslim Brotherhood's version, but from 43:10 their own version. He was taken around. 43:14 Then the center for rapprochement (*dar 43:16 al-taqrib*) between Shia and Sunni was 43:18 born. *Dar al-taqrib*was supported by 43:21 scholars from Egypt, including the 43:22 Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, Sheikh Abdul 43:24 Halim Mahmud. Then, when Sheikh Umar 43:28 al-Tilmisani was released from prison 43:31 after spending decades there, released 43:33 during the time of Anwar Sadat, he was 43:35 asked, "What is your view on the Shia 43:38 in Iran?" He said, "Just ask, who is 43:42 their enemy?" Who is Iran's enemy? " 43:46 America and the Zionists." And this is 43:49 a clear answer for you. So, actually, 43:52 why are we insistent on declaring Shia 43:54 as infidels? What are we insistent for? 43:58 To side with Saudi Arabia blindly. It's 44:01 pitiful for these*ustadz*who are fed by 44:04 Saudi Arabia. Because they eat their 44:07 money, their tongues become tied. 44:09 Yeah. 44:10 If they speak differently, they will 44:11 surely be removed. This is a fact. Some 44:15 of them say, "If we speak up, we will 44:18 be cut off from all the aid they 44:21 provide.""Because they also have Umrah 44:24 travel agencies they own, and even 44:26 their children's schooling is due to 44:29 their assistance." How can we, as free 44:32 human beings, not dare to voice the 44:34 truth just for the sake of worldly 44:36 gains that are meaningless, while 44:38 risking the punishment and wrath of 44:40 Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala? So, actually 44:43 , this is not a war between Zionists, 44:46 America, and Iran, but Iran is being 44:49 attacked because it threatens the 44:51 hegemony of the West, America, and the 44:56 Zionists. And recently I heard, Kang 44:59 Rizal, how the American Secretary of 45:01 State said that we are forced into war 45:03 with Iran by the Zionists, by Israel. 45:06 People wonder, how could Israel, a 45:08 small country, force America? The 45:12 answer is, Zionist lobbies in America 45:14 truly control everything, from the 45:17 Pentagon to the Congress. The 45:22 representatives in Congress, both 45:23 Democrat and Republican, their salaries 45:25 —aside from the salaries they receive 45:26 —are supplemented by the Zionists. 45:29 That was the admission of David Duke, a 45:32 head, er, what do you call it, a 45:34 Republican Party chairman in the 45:36 Louisiana region who has now been 45:38 sidelined. He openly stated that the 45:41 American people share the same fate as 45:43 the Arab people. They appear 45:45 independent, yet everything has been 45:47 predetermined. Even the general 45:49 elections are just a charade. Because 45:52 the candidates are those approved by 45:54 Zionists; every one of them must go to 45:55 Israel before taking office. Obama and 45:58 all of them went to Israel. Only after 46:01 receiving Israel's blessing can they 46:03 take office. If Israel dislikes a 46:05 leader, they are easily removed. For 46:08 example, Eisenhower, the World War II 46:11 hero; when he refused a Zionist request 46:14 , they said, "Wait for the next term, 46:17 you will fall." And indeed, he fell. So 46:21 , it is the Zionist lobbies that 46:23 control the American economy, including 46:26 the American central bank in their 46:28 hands, the IMF in their hands, and 46:30 besides that, what? Armaments are also 46:32 controlled; the Pentagon's 46:34 decision-makers are in their hands. So 46:37 if Trump declares war, it is actually 46:41 not his own desire. Behind all this are 46:44 the Zionists and their lobbies. So to 46:46 my brothers and sisters, ladies and 46:48 gentlemen, do not worry. If we in 46:52 Indonesia side with the truth, unite in 46:54 the truth, and do not betray our 46:57 conscience, God willing, God's help 46:59 will come. When the world is in chaos, 47:01 God will shelter us under the umbrella 47:03 of His mercy. But if we betray, then 47:06 the consequence of that betrayal is 47:08 destruction for us. Therefore, I am 47:11 reminded of MH Najib's words 15 years 47:14 ago. H 47:15 He said, "If a war breaks out between 47:18 Saudi Arabia and Iran, er, a war breaks 47:21 out between, say, Israel and Iran, who 47:23 will Saudi Arabia side with?""He said 47:27 they would side with Israel." It turns 47:32 out Cak Nun's statement, who is 47:34 currently ill, matches the reality and 47:37 facts of this time. Because one can 47:40 read who the mastermind behind the 47:42 terrible countries, America and the 47:44 Zionists, is. And they will not rest 47:49 until we follow their lifestyle. 47:54 Very well, Ustaz. There are still two 47:56 final questions, Ustaz. I will combine 47:57 them, Ustaz, okay? Still related to 47:59 this theme, Ustaz. Ustaz, we often hear 48:01 the term "land of Sham" in the hadith. 48:04 Actually, how important is the position 48:06 of this region for Muslims worldwide, 48:09 including us in Indonesia, Ustaz? Then 48:11 from Mr. Susanto in Tangerang, Ustaz, 48:13 there is a narrative on social media 48:15 that Iran only acted because they were 48:18 attacked first, not because of 48:19 protecting Palestine. 48:21 Iran is a Persian nation, isn't it? 48:23 This Persian nation used to be close 48:25 friends with Israel too, right, Ustaz? 48:27 Is that true, Ustaz? True. But the 48:32 assessment is also wrong. It is true. 48:36 That Iran is a Persian nation. Iran is 48:39 a 48:39 Persian nation. 48:40 They once fought against Islam. In the 48:42 time of the Prophet, they fought 48:44 against Islam until they fell. Then 48:48 they converted to Islam. And we know 48:54 how Persia after Islam became loyal 48:57 people. And how Salman al-Farisi was 49:01 considered by the Prophet as part of 49:03 his own family 49:05 from Persia, Ustaz? That is correct. 49:06 From Persia. 49:07 From Persia. 49:08 Then Salman suggested that the 49:10 Prophet's grandson, Sayyidina Hussein, 49:13 marry their princess, Shahbanu Zahra. 49:17 For what? To make the Persians 49:19 eliminate their hostility and grudges. 49:22 They married Shahrbanu Zahra, and their 49:25 son, Ali Zainal Abidin, was born. 49:29 Hmm. 49:29 Who is known as what? As the progenitor 49:33 of the Al-Husayn family, born from what 49:37 ? Ali Zainal Abidin, peace be upon him, 49:40 known as Imam Al-Sajjad. The father of 49:43 Muhammad Al-Baqir and the grandfather 49:45 of Jafar Al-Sadiq. These are the imams 49:47 from the Prophet's family who truly 49:50 lived in purity. And they respected the 49:53 Prophet's companions. Even Jafar 49:55 Al-Sadiq said, "Waladani Abu Bakrin 49:58 marratin.""Abu Bakr gave birth to me 50:00 twice," because his mother and 50:01 grandmother came from the lineage of 50:03 Abu Bakr. 50:05 So, the Prophet's family cannot be 50:07 separated from Abu Bakr, Umar, or 50:09 Uthman. But history has long been 50:14 intentionally manipulated to pit them 50:17 against each other for what? Various 50:20 causes of strife between Shia and Sunni 50:22 . The Shia I mean here are the ignorant 50:23 laypeople among the Shia. Likewise, the 50:25 laypeople of the Ahlus-Sunnah. Because 50:27 many Ahlus-Sunnah scholars wear robes 50:29 and memorize the Quran but remain 50:30 ignorant. Their thinking is truly 50:34 irrational, easily manipulated just 50:36 like the VOC did to the Indonesian 50:39 people. 50:40 So, Kang Rizal, is it true they were 50:44 once Persians during the era of the 50:47 Shah of Iran? And were they what? Were 50:51 they partners to Israel, or even 50:53 supporters? But since the Islamic 50:57 revolution, they immediately turned 50:59 into enemies of America and the 51:01 Zionists because of their Islam. The 51:06 Islamic Republic of Iran. Then they 51:09 announced their support for Palestine. 51:13 Starting from the era of Imam Khomeini, 51:15 they held Quds Day on the last Friday 51:18 of Ramadan. They also invited 51:21 Palestinian fighter representatives to 51:23 come and announce that Iran sides with 51:26 the Palestinian people and will fight 51:28 for their independence. So if someone 51:33 equates the Iran of today with the era 51:35 of the Shah, that's wrong. H 51:37 The previous government was 51:39 pro-American and pro-Zionist; since the 51:42 Islamic Republic was established, they 51:45 have been anti-Zionist, providing 51:47 support to the Palestinian people—not 51:50 just recently, but since long ago. This 51:53 stance is seen by America as what kind 51:56 of stance? A stance of resistance. Now, 51:59 if some people say Iran isn't defending 52:01 Palestine, but just retaliating to 52:04 attacks. We know that we currently live 52:08 among nations bound by rules and 52:11 regulations. If Islam starts it, if 52:16 Iran starts an attack, surely other 52:19 nations would consider Iran to be at 52:21 fault. Right? 52:23 Right. 52:24 When the war happened recently, they 52:25 were attacked first, so Iran retaliated 52:27 , and the retaliation was quite 52:29 powerful, wasn't it? Then the other 52:31 side stopped the fighting. Iran 52:33 followed, "Wa in janahu lis-silmi 52:34 fajnah laha wa tawakkal 'alallah." But 52:38 now, after they committed killings and 52:40 launched a preemptive strike, Iran's 52:43 retaliation is its right. Right? 52:46 Right. 52:46 Besides that, the retaliation is also 52:49 used by Iran as an opportunity to 52:51 inflict severe damage on Israel, and 52:54 even destroy it if necessary. And this 52:58 is also a blow to America, to the point 53:00 that Trump turned pale while witnessing 53:02 the situation currently unfolding, with 53:05 American bases in various Gulf 53:06 countries being destroyed. And the Gulf 53:11 states to this day do not dare to 53:13 declare war. Because the moment they 53:15 declare war, it means they are siding 53:16 with the Zionists. 53:18 So even though they are attacked, 53:20 despite their weak strength, they do 53:21 not have the courage to fight back. And 53:25 what is destroyed by Iran are military 53:28 bases or places related to American or 53:32 Zionist interests. So, do not equate 53:36 them. The analogy is not appropriate if 53:37 you compare current Iran with Iran 53:39 during the Shah's era. As for the word 53:41 Persian, we must be careful. Islam is a 53:45 mercy to all creation. And honor is not 53:49 based on tribe or nation. Because we 53:55 know there are many prominent Sunni 53:57 scholars who come from Persia. 53:59 Including, among them, who? Imam Abu 54:04 Hamid Al-Ghazali. Tirmidhi is also from 54:07 there. Muslim from Nishapur, yes. So if 54:10 we look, most of them come from Persia. 54:15 Now, this fanaticism or Jahiliyyah 54:17 tribalism of the Arabs that belittles 54:19 non-Arabs must be stopped. In Indonesia 54:23 , there are also noble people. In all 54:26 nations, there are people who have 54:29 played a fair role in great struggles. 54:32 So remember, Islam does not view humans 54:34 based on their nation, tribe, whether 54:36 they are men or women, or whether they 54:38 are Arab or non-Arab, because we all 54:40 have the same father. Now, this is what 54:43 we must truly fight for, so that there 54:46 is no injustice or the assumption by 54:49 Arabs that they are...noble beings, 54:51 while others are inferior beings. 54:54 Especially with the financial aid given 54:56 by Saudi Arabia by building mosques 54:58 here and there. We see our people 55:01 changing. It is so easy for them to be 55:05 bound, to surrender themselves as 55:07 servants before those who provide them 55:11 with aid. If this aid is for the sake 55:13 of Allah, we accept it. But if the aid 55:14 is to control us, I am sorry. We do not 55:17 want your aid to cause division among 55:19 us, like in Bosnia where Saudi aid 55:21 caused fragmentation. In Indonesia, the 55:24 same thing happens, mosques and schools 55:27 are built with Saudi Arabian aid, and 55:29 they force their doctrine. Now, we ask, 55:31 does Iran provide aid to Palestine 55:33 while forcing their doctrine or not? 55:36 And I often say we are with Iran, with 55:39 our scholars, we welcome them with open 55:42 arms. If they come to visit to 55:45 establish brotherhood, we welcome them. 55:48 But if they want to force their 55:50 doctrine along with the aid they 55:53 provide, we say no. 55:56 No. 55:57 But if it is to engage in dialogue, 55:59 we welcome it. Engaging in dialogue to 56:01 find the truth is a good thing. But 56:03 helping while turning those who receive 56:05 the aid into Shiites is not right. Now, 56:09 among the Shiites, there are also 56:11 fanatics. who are blinded, considering 56:16 themselves the chosen servants of Allah 56:19 . Yes, they think they are right, and 56:23 others are people in falsehood. Among 56:27 the Sunnis, there are also people just 56:29 like them. Is that not true? Even who 56:31 is considered a Sunni is questioned. 56:34 Ash'aris say they are Ahlus-Sunnah with 56:36 the condition that their jurisprudence 56:38 refers to the predecessors, the four 56:40 schools of thought. Salafis say they 56:42 are not Ahlus-Sunnah. They say all of 56:44 them are, well, misguided people. They 56:48 even claim the Ash'ari are deviant, and 56:50 their followers are the same as those 56:53 of the Jews. You are free to read their 56:55 fatwas. So, even the term "Ahlussunnah" 56:58 is being questioned. 57:00 Even within the Shia, those who are 57:01 true followers of the Ahlul Bait are 57:03 questioned. I say, discard these labels 57:05 that bring bad luck to us, Islam, and 57:08 the Muslims. That is what we are 57:10 fighting for through this Silaturahmi 57:12 radio. Likewise, through Umatan Wahidah 57:14 . And everything we have conveyed since 57:16 we returned from Egypt with our 57:18 brothers who are struggling. The goal 57:21 is to return to the singular word. Alla 57:24 na'buda illallah, wa la nushrika bihi 57:27 shay'a, wa la yattakhidha ba'duna 57:29 ba'dan arbaban min dunillah. All 57:33 Muslims are our brothers. Whether they 57:37 are Wahhabi or non-Wahhabi, provided 57:39 the Wahhabis do not come here spreading 57:41 slander, creating division, stabbing in 57:43 the back, or declaring others misguided 57:45 or infidels. If you want to sit for a 57:48 dialogue, you are welcome. If you 57:50 differ in matters of fiqh, that is 57:52 merely human interpretation. If it is a 57:55 Sharia law from Allah, we must accept 57:57 it, saying "we hear and we obey," 58:00 without any opposition. The cause of 58:03 this conflict is that opinions are 58:06 being used to attack one another. It is 58:09 a pity that many Salafi clerics are 58:12 bound by the financial aid they receive 58:14 and the profits they reap from Umrah 58:17 travel agencies. In the end, I fear 58:21 their hearts have become like what? 58:24 Like dogs that are fed and remain 58:26 submissive to their masters, even 58:28 barking at good people when told to. 58:30 What matters to them? Just feed me. But 58:33 humans should think and reason; they 58:35 should not see wrong as right and right 58:37 as wrong. Yet, when a dog is fed by its 58:40 master, it dares to bark at someone who 58:43 is just and striving in the path of 58:46 Allah. Attack him, and it will attack. 58:48 Is that not correct? 58:49 That is correct. 58:50 But a free person, a true believer, 58:52 will not commit acts that contradict 58:54 their faith and conscience. Therefore, 58:57 I call upon our Salafi brothers to stop 58:59 the propaganda that harms Islam. 59:02 Because what is this? This will 59:03 eventually backfire on you. Once your 59:05 mask is stripped away, you will be 59:08 opposed and hated by all the people of 59:10 Indonesia, and even by all Muslims. We 59:14 hope that before such things happen, 59:17 let us return to Allah and follow the 59:20 Sunnah of His Messenger together. And 59:23 let us not be fanatical about the 59:25 opinions we follow. Follow what you 59:28 wish, but remain known as Muslims. 59:30 Subhanakallahumma wabihamdik, ashadu 59:33 alla ilaha illa anta, astaghfiruka wa 59:35 atubu ilaik, wa afu minkum. 59:37 Wassalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi 59:39 wabarakatuh. 59:39 Wa'alaikumussalam warahmatullahi 59:41 wabarakatuh. Thank you, Ustaz Husein 59:44 Alatas, for the answers and the 59:46 explanation provided today. 59:49 Alhamdulillah, several questions from 59:51 our brothers and sisters have been 59:52 answered. Hopefully, the explanation 59:56 given by Ustaz Husein and the 59:58 discussion we had reminds us that the 1:00:01 trials and turmoil currently happening 1:00:04 in the Middle East are not just global 1:00:07 political dynamics, but as the Ustaz 1:00:09 said, they are already recorded in the 1:00:12 Quran, right, Ustaz? 1:00:14 That is correct. 1:00:15 And as a sunnah for us to reflect upon 1:00:18 together. God willing, there are many 1:00:21 lessons and promises from Allah that 1:00:23 will guide us all, especially those 1:00:25 seeking the objective truth. That is 1:00:28 all, brothers and sisters, once again 1:00:30 thank you, Ustaz. God willing, we will 1:00:32 meet again another time, we will 1:00:33 conclude with the kafaratul majlis. 1:00:35 Subhanaka Allahumma wa bihamdika, 1:00:37 ashadu alla ilaha illa anta, 1:00:39 astaghfiruka wa atubu ilaik. Billahi 1:00:42 taufiq wal hidayah. Wassalamualaikum 1:00:44 warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
