1
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,300
When you seek to please Allah (swt)

2
00:00:12,406 --> 00:00:14,114
And He gives you the dignity of people,

3
00:00:14,314 --> 00:00:17,150
That's the type of dignity that can't be taken away from you

4
00:00:17,300 --> 00:00:19,159
And that is respect.

5
00:00:19,300 --> 00:00:22,100
And that's what we have been talking about here with my brother in Islam

6
00:00:22,300 --> 00:00:25,300
When you seek to please Allah (swt)you get respect,

7
00:00:25,500 --> 00:00:26,900
even if people don't like you

8
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,800
It doesn't matter;I do not care if people don't like me

9
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,700
If you give me the respect I need as a human,as a Muslim as a man

10
00:00:33,900 --> 00:00:35,600
Then,that's all I need

11
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,800
Who cares if people does not like you or if they think you are crazy

12
00:00:38,825 --> 00:00:43,450
Who cares?Let them laugh

13
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:47,800
You know why?You know why we should let them laugh?

14
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,200
How many times have you heard the phrase…

15
00:00:51,300 --> 00:00:55,450
''Laugh now and cry later''?

16
00:00:55,700 --> 00:00:58,200
That's for them

17
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:06,650
I had to deal with a pastor and a couple of non- muslims and atheists In New Jersey.

18
00:01:06,850 --> 00:01:14,700
They were talking about why anyone want to be a Muslim?

19
00:01:14,900 --> 00:01:16,700
Why anyone want to be a Muslim?

20
00:01:16,900 --> 00:01:19,700
You guys have the worse way of life,you are backwards

21
00:01:19,900 --> 00:01:22,400
Not only that but also nobody likes you guys

22
00:01:22,500 --> 00:01:26,600
Why I would get a way of life?And now whenever I go to an airport I get harassed?

23
00:01:26,700 --> 00:01:31,300
Every time I got to an airport they put me into special line and put me through security machines and all that

24
00:01:31,500 --> 00:01:37,200
I may get arrested,I may get beaten,I may get spat at…..so,why?Why?

25
00:01:37,300 --> 00:01:38,500
Why would I do that?

26
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,200
Tell me one good reason why one I can do that

27
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:47,800
I will tell you why…And this is for everyone

28
00:01:49,300 --> 00:01:51,300
Because maybe you look at us now

29
00:01:51,500 --> 00:01:54,200
You might look at Muslims now when they are in the airport or

30
00:01:54,383 --> 00:01:57,600
they are at the separated line being harassed.

31
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,600
You might see the Muslims being crowded up and thrown into prisons

32
00:02:02,700 --> 00:02:05,900
and into detention facilities or refugee camps.

33
00:02:05,949 --> 00:02:09,300
You might see the Muslims getting oppressed all over the world

34
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:10,800
You might knew that

35
00:02:10,900 --> 00:02:16,349
Is wear to you by the One Who Created the Heavens and the Earth

36
00:02:16,549 --> 00:02:23,180
on the Day of Judgment you will wish that for 5 minutes you would have been at that line in the airport

37
00:02:23,250 --> 00:02:26,950
in the Next Life you will wish that for one moment 

38
00:02:27,100 --> 00:02:31,477
you would have been in the place of one of those Muslims that were oppressed

39
00:02:31,677 --> 00:02:37,497
for one moment you will wish you were one of the worst oppressed Muslim in the planet

40
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:42,800
rather than the situation that will be facing you when you stand before your Creator

41
00:02:42,950 --> 00:02:47,750
so,you can laugh at us now,you can make fun of us now all what you want

42
00:02:47,900 --> 00:02:52,800
The Day the real laughter will come is the Day that we enter into Jannah (Paradise)

43
00:02:52,950 --> 00:02:57,500
and we leave you behind.Then Islam will give me that type of Ezzah (pride)

44
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,350
Laugh now,go ahead,laugh !

45
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,800
Even if I tell you what Islam is about you will laugh at me and mock me

46
00:03:04,950 --> 00:03:09,100
Go ahead,I actually sit down and let you finish

47
00:03:09,300 --> 00:03:11,200
Because I am gonna have my Day

48
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,000
The Believers will have our Day

49
00:03:14,386 --> 00:03:17,300
When they will wish they are sitting on our side

50
00:03:17,500 --> 00:03:22,950
When they pray to Allah:'Oh Allah!send me back to Earth for 5 minutes'!

51
00:03:23,100 --> 00:03:27,800
I will be like them,I will get in that line,I will let them harass me,

52
00:03:28,019 --> 00:03:32,150
I will let them spit on me,snatch my hijab from my head,

53
00:03:32,300 --> 00:03:33,700
I will let them put me into a refugee camp,

54
00:03:33,900 --> 00:03:37,600
oppress me and put me in Guantanamo bay,or whenever they wanna put me,

55
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,800
as long as I can stand with them Today!'

56
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,450
And Allah will say:'It's too late,you should have done that then'

57
00:03:44,100 --> 00:03:45,500
you should have done that then'

58
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,000
this is the reality of the situation but this is what you have

59
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,500
this is the gift that Allah has given you

60
00:03:51,700 --> 00:03:53,800
it's not worth anything that anyone else can give you

61
00:03:53,980 --> 00:03:55,800
is not worth selling your dignity for

62
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:00,000
it's not worth trying to please others and try to look fashionable …

63
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,500
who cares about that??

64
00:04:02,700 --> 00:04:04,000
who cares about that??

65
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:08,850
The only thing I care about is what side I gonna be standing on the Day of Judgment

66
00:04:08,980 --> 00:04:11,400
Let them do what they wanna do,brothers and sisters

67
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,100
That’ sit and that’s all that really matters

68
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:20,186
Everything else it’s just garbage ,….And that's not what we want

69
00:04:20,386 --> 00:04:23,000
We want what Allah (swt)has prepared for the believers

70
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:24,400
Things that no eye has ever seen

71
00:04:24,500 --> 00:04:26,300
Nor any ear has ever heard

72
00:04:26,500 --> 00:04:28,480
Nor any mind has ever imagined

73
00:04:28,550 --> 00:04:36,500
'This day those who disbelieve have despaired of [defeating] your religion;

74
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:41,300
so fear them not,but fear Me.

75
00:04:41,523 --> 00:04:48,000
This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favor upon  

76
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:57,900
you and have approved for you Islam as religion

77
00:04:58,235 --> 00:05:04,235
But   whoever is forced by severe hunger with no inclination to sin -then indeed,

78
00:05:04,300 --> 00:05:12,000
Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.'[Quran (5:3)]
