Mashallah Tabarakullah Awesome Every Muslim needs to understand what you have said..

Absolutely crucial topic, Alhumdulillah Imam Tom has covered it from this perspective

Our rights and responsibilities come from our creator. The modern conception of human rights comes from the nafs. It truly is worship of the desires.

This is great, mashallah! I wish we had khutbahs like this at our masjid about these underlying assumptions that even many muslims have. I hate when I hear people justifying why they wear hijab because it's their choice. No, rather, it's the command of Allah.

It would be really great if this entire lecture could be written as a book, or converted into a syllabus to be taken as one subject in Islamic schools, or to be offered as a short crash course... such an important lecture, Imam Tom.

“Which people are read as more human?” Thank you for such an important lecture, Imam Tom. (And we have all seen how certain hypocritical Muslim lands do the same double standards now, only following cultural rituals, but not the teachings of Quran or Sunnah). May Allah protect and bless the knowledge and Piety.

Assalamualaikum wr wb. Good insight from Imam Tom. He fully understands the errors in accepting the human rights issues. If we apply it in the context of The Holy Quran, we can traces it back to the ideology of the tribes of Ya’juj wa Ma’juj whom rejected the message of Dzulqarnain to them that was to follow the commands of Allah and his messengers. Dzulqarnain was sent to established Allah’s systems of governance throughout the world. A caliphate systems. He Dzulqarnain was a caliph. The downfall of the system of governance using the Caliphate as a jurisdiction gave rise to the ideology of Ya’juj wa Ma’juj to establish the New World order. A secular system of governance. If one understand the doctrines of Christianity that were spread by the Portuguese and Spanish, one will understood that it was not the message that Prophet Isa (pbuh) or Jesus Christ brought. It was more of an Anti Christ than Christ himself. That’s the reasons we are witnessing the degeneration of morals in a mischievous mannerisms and the corruption that are rapidly growing in the world. Allah knows best.

Jazakallāh khairan for the lesson.

MashaAllah, this is very useful information. May Allah bless you. With this information the line becomes more visible between batil and Haqq. This is the kind of information that increases the believers in certainty and adds to the hypocrites nothing but doubt.

MashaAllah TabarakAllah! So on point Imam Tom. Back in the day I would say "Coke or Pepsi?" LOL Now I just say "Fanta anyone?" I am so thankful, that during these turbulent times Allah (swt) brought you to Islam and cultivated you the way HE (swt) knows best to open the eyes and hearts of the Ummah who are so chained not only to this dunyah but our own naffs. And may HE (swt) break the shackles completely before we return to HIM (swt). Amen Amen Amen And as a Muslim I continue to plant seeds, even when it may look like a dessert to me, Allah and only Allah knows what is to come. Alhamdullilah May Allah (swt) continue to guide you and may we continue to cultivate our souls and hearts to accept the seeds you are planting. Amen Amen Amen

Amazing. Alhamdullilah we had islam in this time of chaos. The current state of the world itself is a sign that Islam is true. Salam for all bro and sis in Utica.

SubhanAllah. Beautiful khutba

Amazing mashaallah

I'm a newly hijabi alhamdulillah, but I did want to point out a few things about "Choice". While sayyedna Muhammad ﷺ did dictate the rules through reciting Quran, he was ultimately transmitting the words of Allah, so it wasn't Man who made the ruling, rather Allah Himself. Yet, Muhammad ﷺ didn't go around to every Muslim woman and call her disobedient if she didn't cover up (yet)... nor do women these days go to men and ask them if they prayed the five mandatory prayers, or to cover their knees should they be wearing shorts... Islam is to accept or deny the message in Sincerity and to practice and embody the characteristics voluntarily -so it is the approach in that these rulers are taking that are problematic and causing a backfire and intense repel and rebel. The "Choice" of wearing Hijab should be sincere, to obey and please Allah first and foremost, and for our own wellbeing if women are taught about its importance not only for societal aspect but spiritual one too. Why do women wear the veil when praying alone at home even if no man is around or if they're all Mehrems? Answer is in order for Angels to pray alongside her. Why aren't we taught about the story of Khadija radya Allah anha performing a test for the prophet to check whether or not Gabriel is an angel? Angels hide away from uncovered women from their Hayaa. To be a Muslim is to believe in the unseen, the jinn and the angels included. We know that all have a qareen, and that shayateen aren't present if an angel is around, so in an angel's absence you can be sure that there are jinn surrounding you and probably bad ones (since good ones would attend to their business as assigned by Allah in their natural realm and not interfere with yours). In today's world of Feminism and striving to becoming an entrepreneur or a corporate world employee, why would you accept a dress code and federal tax for a wage and a retirement plan, but refuse Allah's dress code and code of conduct of what counts on your audit check on day of reckoning to secure your spot in eternal life in Jannah?

So very important jzk

More gold from our brother

As salaamu alaikum. Outstanding and important discussion very clearly presented. The one thing that was perhaps not emphasized was the direct link between the purposelessness that is inherent in the modern world view and people’s widespread alienation, anger, and hopelessness. I believe these are the roots of the violence, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and thrill seeking that are so prevalent in our society. Thank you for shining a light on this problem and giving me a way to talk to my adult children about the brainwashing they received in the name of education. A further discussion about these consequences as well as the myth of inclusivity could take another hour. I look forward to more! Jazakum Allah khair

Thank you!

Alhamdulillah for Islam YARABB

Barakallahu Feek!

MashaAllah gna give this a rewtach to ground some of the concepts

Allah ❤

Epic talk

Subhan-Allah

SubhanALLAH our each and every breath and life is in complete control of our creator may we realise and follow HIS commands and be guided to a successful end without any regrets Aameen YARABB

addressing modern terms and finding a way to fit that with islam is called jahl not ilm !

الله اكبر Allah Akbar

I choose to follow God's commands!

What part of "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" do you not understand?

An important speech, but I'm not sure I find it agreeable.

As a person who disagrees with most of the premises, I will agree on one thing: human rights are an expansive ethical concept. Once people realize they have them, they don't want to lose them, and wish to make sure other people realize they have them. I think that's a good thing, though. The expansiveness of the philosophy shelters it against people who essentialize and believe that people should be treated differently based on immutable characteristics. It leaves no room for bigotry or biological expectation when taken to its fullest extent. You frame the failure to uphold the equality of human rights in the video as a philosophical disagreement between the western nations and Islamic ones (the Ukraine vs. Palestine racism, for example). I think it is plain racism. People don't care about people who don't look like them as much. That is essentialization, a failure to uphold the ideas of universal human rights and not a feature of the system. Even many Jews, the demographic most likely to support the suppression of Palestine, believe the treatment of Palestinians is unethical on human rights grounds. It is a genocide.

Jazakum Allahu Khairan But can I suggest you present your point of view from the perspective of non-Muslims...and what you'll end up with is what you are speaking against.... And Allah knows best.

Classic double standard from the west😔

This is a video that contains countless inaccuracies, and it is clear that the imam is not familiar with the simplest basics of the topic he is talking about.

Sir,humans are slaves of Arab God. To talk of human rights will invite his wrath. So be careful.

The ultimate guide of human rights in islam *Pact of Omar with Christians of Syria, Mesopotamia* Prohibition against building new churches, places of worship, monasteries, monks or a new cell. Prohibition against rebuilding destroyed churches, by day or night, in their own neighbourhoods or those situated in the quarters of the Muslims. The worship places of non-Muslims must be lower in elevation than the lowest mosque in town. The houses of non-Muslims must not be taller in elevation than the houses of Muslims. Prohibition against hanging a cross on the Churches. Muslims should be allowed to enter Churches (for shelter) in any time, both in day and night. Obliging the call of prayer by a bell or a kind of Gong (Nakos) to be low in volume. Prohibition of Christians and Jews against raising their voices at prayer times. Prohibition against teaching non-Muslim children the Qur'an. Christians were forbidden to show their religion in public, or to be seen with Christian books or symbols in public, on the roads or in the markets of the Muslims. Palm Sunday and Easter parades were banned. Funerals should be conducted quietly. Prohibition against burying non-Muslim dead near Muslims. Prohibition against raising a pig next to a Muslims neighbour. Christian were forbidden to sell Muslims alcoholic beverage. Christians were forbidden to provide cover or shelter for spies. Prohibition against telling a lie about Muslims. Obligation to show deference toward Muslims. If a Muslim wishes to sit, non-Muslim should be rise from his seats and let the Muslim sit. Prohibition against preaching to Muslims in an attempt to convert them from Islam. Prohibition against preventing the conversion to Islam of some one who wants to convert. The appearance of the non-Muslims has to be different from those of the Muslims: Prohibition against wearing Qalansuwa (kind of dome that was used to wear by Bedouin), Bedouin turban (Amamh), Muslims shoes, and Sash to their waists. As to their heads, it was forbidden to comb the hair sidewise as the Muslim custom, and they were forced to cut the hair in the front of the head. Also non-Muslim shall not imitate the Arab-Muslim way of speech nor shall adopt the kunyas (Arabic byname, such as "abu Khattib"). Obligation to identify non-Muslims as such by clipping the heads' forelocks and by always dressing in the same manner, wherever they go, with binding the zunnar (a kind of belt) around the waists. Christians to wear blue belts or turbans, Jews to wear yellow belts or turbans, Zoroastrians to wear black belts or turbans, and Samaritans to wear red belts or turbans. Prohibition against riding animals in the Muslim custom, and prohibition against riding with a saddle. Prohibition against adopting a Muslim title of honour. Prohibition against engraving Arabic inscriptions on signet seals. Prohibition against any possession of weapons. Non-Muslims must host a Muslim passerby for at least 3 days and feed him. Non-Muslims prohibited from buying a Muslim prisoner. Prohibition against taking slaves who have been allotted to Muslims. Prohibition against non-Muslims to lead, govern or employ Muslims. If a non-Muslim beats a Muslim, his Dhimmi protection is removed. In return, the ruler would provide security for the Christian believers who follow the rules of the pact.

B**sh**

Human rights are paramount in ïslãm, see this great respect Sura 4:56 Indeed, those who disbelieve in Our verses - We will drive them into a Fire. Every time their skins are roasted through We will replace them with other skins so they may taste the punishment. Indeed, Allah is ever Exalted in Might and Wise. The Quran, chapter 9 (At-Tawba), verse 5:[53] But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war); but if they repent, and establish regular prayers and practise regular charity, then open the way for them: for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful. So when you meet those who disbelieve, then strike the necks until when you have subdued then bind firmly the bond, then either a favour afterwards or ransom until lays down the war its burdens. That. And if Allah had willed surely, He could have taken retribution from them, but to test some of you with others. And those who are killed in (the) way of Allah, then never He will cause to be lost their deeds. Why does Allah curse the Jews and Christians in the Qur'an Obviously, it is a fearsome verse for those of us who are outside Islam because we tend to be afraid that Muslim terrorists will use it to justify acts of violence against us. The supposed characteristics and attributes of Jews (and Christians) are mentioned in many places in the Quran; they are threatened, reprimanded and affronted because of alleged evil deeds. In fact, the Quran is by and large an anti-Jewish treatise. As such it invents reasons why to despise and kill Jews. The primary charge is that Jews do not believe. When in fact Jews brought the bible to the world centuries before Islam ever existed. Some examples of the Quran's relation to Jews: Quran (8:12) - "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them" Quran (2:191-193) - "And kill them wherever you find them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out. And Al-Fitnah [disbelief or unrest] is worse than killing...but if they desist, then lo! Allah is forgiving and merciful. And fight them until there is no more Fitnah and worship is for Allah alone. But if they cease, let there be no transgression except against Az-Zalimun. Quran (33:60-62) - "If the hypocrites, and those in whose hearts is a disease, and the alarmists in the city do not cease, We verily shall urge thee on against them, then they will be your neighbors in it but a little while. Accursed, they will be seized wherever found and slain with a slaughter." Quran (47:3-4) - "Those who disbelieve follow falsehood, while those who believe follow the truth from their Lord... So, when you meet those who disbelieve, smite at their necks till when you have killed and wounded many of them, then bind a bond firmly. If it had been Allah's Will, He Himself could certainly have punished them. But, in order to test you, some with others. But those who are killed in the Way of Allah, He will never let their deeds be lost." Here is another sample of the standpoint of the Quran: This is a sample of what the Qur’an says about the “infidels” (Christians and Jews): Slay the unbelievers wherever you find them (2:191). Make war on the infidels living in your neighborhood (9:123). When opportunity arises, kill the infidels wherever you catch them (9:5) Kill the Jews and the Christians if they do not convert to Islam or refuse to pay Jizya tax (9:29). Any religion other than Islam is not acceptable (3:85). The Jews and the Christians are perverts; fight them (9:30). Maim and crucify the infidels if they criticize Islam. (5:33). The infidels are unclean; do not let them into a mosque (9:28). Punish the unbelievers with garments of fire, hooked iron rods, boiling water; melt their skin and bellies (22:19). Do not hanker for peace with the infidels; behead them when you catch them (47:4). The unbelievers are stupid; urge the Muslims to fight them (8:65). Muslims must not take the infidels as friends (3:28). Terrorize and behead those who believe in scriptures other than the Qur’an (8:12). Muslims must muster all weapons to terrorize the infidels (8:60) The Quran certainly proclaims that Muslims must use force to convert the unbelievers to Islam. For the non-Muslims, the alternative to this is to pay the humiliating protection money (Jizya tax) or be killed (by beheading, of course). A militarily dominant Islam, without doubt, precludes the peaceful co-existence with the unbelievers if the Muslims have to abide strictly by the unalterable stipulations of the Qur’an. Based on these verses it can be safely concluded that these verses spread affection , and love towards certain communities

TSUNAMI OF EX MUSLIMS WORLDWIDE Very emotional
