Sheikh is correct. People are blinded by their own nafs. Yet, the nafs will wither on the day of judgement. A day in which eyes shall stare in horror. Those who sinned, will regret their sins. Those who did not stop the sinners (through education and tolerance and had the opportunity to do so) will regret not doing so. Those who are blinded by their nafs will have their hands testify against them. A lot of these types of people roam in the comments.
Before I comment on the speakers words, I will say: Allah (God) will erase the sins of anyone who enters Islam (including an American soldier who committed great evil in Iraq), and EVERY sin that a person can commit whether major or minor can be forgiven as a result of someone's repentance. With that being said though, if someone stole from another they must restore the stolen good(s). Anyway regarding the speakers words: those 'pleasant people' that went to Iraq and did horrific, inhumane, cowardly things full well knew what they were doing. They had the choice to rape, and murder, destroy and whatever else, and knew what being in the army and going to Iraq meant. War doesn't make them who they are, it brings out who they are. However even if they were like that in Iraq, it isn't incorrect to say that such a person could redeem themselves, and be truly regretful.
While they had the free will, it is true that certain conditions make all humans vulnerable from one degree to another to doing horrible things. Environmental influences are insanely controlling.

But I had no authority over you except that I invited you, and you responded to me. So do not blame me; but blame yourselves. I cannot be called to your aid, nor can you be called to my aid. Indeed, I deny your association of me [with Allah] before. Indeed, for the wrongdoers is a painful punishment." (Translation of the Qur'an, Surah Ibrahim, Ayah 22)

In one of his lectures he refuse to condemn the police racist killing instead of that, he pointed to the racism in the middle east like it is a justification for the USA racism. I lost respect for him at that moment, I hope he will go back to the right path, no one is perfect but we have to correct our mistakes.
Lol😂black people are treated better in America than Arab world, let a Black NonArab try to get with an Arab woman, they will kill him, whereas it is common to see black guy with white woman in US or Canada.
@@HulaguKhan2020 I have never seen Arab police stand on the neck of a black guy until he dies, never seen them shooting black men for absolutely no reason, about the interracial marriage apparently you have never been in the Arab world.
@@faisalalkhedhrawi7311 😂 jokes. A Black Arab , no! A Black NonArab goes through hella racism. Also look at the way they treat migrant workers & maids in GCC countries who are Bengali, Nepali, Indonesian , Indian , Pakistani etc. not everything is about police brutality. It is common amongst white Levantine Arabs & brown GCC Arabs to call Black Arabs & Black NonArabs as Abid/Slave. Problem with you guys is you only see when White Europeans are being racist, never your own kind.
@@HulaguKhan2020 never said there is no racism in our part of the world I said racism is not embedded in the system of justice and police like in the USA
The Turks invaded Greece,Italy,Romania, Syria,Armenia,France and others. Yes it's cultural and will never end because of older generations,yes they are all dead today but they killed 90% of my family in 1915. I have Turkish friends and we never speak of the past. The fact that Turkey helps Azerbaijan against Armenia makes it more difficult.
@@LE749 Ya he is definitely a problem and will end up destroying Turkey. Idk why he would try to bring back a dead empire, it would be like a Italian trying to bring back the Roman Empire... It's too late and they will fail
Even 100 years ago those Turks did not do anything like what the Armenians and westerners are claiming. If that was the case why still there are tens and thousands of Armenians who are happily living, working and chilling in Turkey? If anything had happened was with the groups of Armenian militia and pro Russian mercenaries who turned their back to the Ottoman empire and joined Russian forces against them. Let's be fair and objective while talking about the 1st world war.
100 years ago armenians broke their oath, and got punished for their betrayal. And dear sheikh, please say salawat when mentioning Prophet alaihissalam.
One of the issues I have with discourse like this is that those who are affected by racism are always seen as the problem to be dealt with, and not those actually committing racism. The speaker then uses the example of Abu Dhar who actively sought to repair his relationship with the person he harmed in comparison with those who have done no such thing. Calling someone's mother black in order to be derogatory has no comparison to calling someone the n-word. In short, placing the onus of responsibility on those affected by racism and not the racists themselves has been the recurring theme in American race relations.
Fully agree with you. Also notice how Abu Dhar asked Bilal to put his foot in his face. If all racists felt such regret, the world would be better. Additionally, what did Bilal do to the man who tortured him because he was a slave? He killed him. That’s justice. And it was halal.
@@IngramSnake he didn’t torture him because he was a slave he tortured him because he was Muslim, prior to his Islam they had as good a relationship as a slave and master (which was not tied specifically to race back then because there were Arab slaves, Roman slaves and black slaves in Mecca at the time) could be. Also when Abu Dar put his face in the ground and asked Bilal to step on it Bilal told him him to stand up and that he had forgiven Abu Dar for what he said before he even said it. Lastly he killed his ex “master” in the aftermath of war who was at the time a prisoner of war the norm of time of which was that he was at the mercy of the winners BEFORE the prophet made it clear that the prisoners were to be spared. You need to know the full contexts and wisdoms of the seerah before you derive your own moralistic stances from it brother, and may Allah increase both of our knowledge.
@@hamzahmohammed5491 You saying it was only OK for him to kill his tormentor because he only did it because he was a Muslim? You’re saying it’s not OK for someone to kill his tormentor if he simply tortured him because he was black? Also, regarding prisoners of war. Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t Allah on one occasion in the Quran say it was wrong for the prophet (saw) to keep prisoners of war, and that they should have been executed instead? Doesn’t that go against your reasoning?
@@IngramSnake I’m saying we have a duty to understand the seerah correctly and to understand the deen correctly. The Muslims were in Mecca for 13 years and they didn’t fight because they were not told that they could. Even after Hamza and Umar became Muslim they remained pacifistic. It wasn’t until they established the city state of Madinah that they engaged in battle. The incident you are referring to happened after Badr. The sahaba were in disagreement about what to do with the captives of war because no revelation had come down to specify how they should act. During this period of confusion Bilal killed his ex “master” Umayya and so he did not act in a manner that was contradictory to the prophet’s decision because it hadn’t been made yet. We NEVER say in traditional Sunni Islam that the prophet was wrong. A LOT of nuance of the Quran and Classical Arabic in general is lost when you translate it to another language like English. The revelation that came down after the prophet decided to spare all the prisoners stated that it would not have been wrong to kill the prisoners of war in this case because of the wrongs they had done but despite that, those same prisoners were never killed even after that revelation came down and as a general rule the Muslims never killed their prisoners of war. Now if you want to make a moral argument that outside of this context such as during the period of time that slavery was practised in North America that said slaves had the right to kill the people who had treated them so poorly I don’t think many people would disagree with you. But that is a scenario of a sociopolitical nature with no religion in play and it’s not at all a fair comparison to the seerah. The sahaba did NOT kill for themselves, they killed for the prophet and for God nothing else and I’m saying that we have an obligation to understand it correctly. No doubt there are lessons in the way the early Muslims were treated that can serve as a powerful parallel to other peoples with histories of oppression like our African American brothers and sisters. But if you want to start making comparisons between the seerah and other issues you have to know it well, you have to know what actually happened, why it happened and the context in which it happened otherwise you run the risk of saying and implying things about the prophet and his companions that may be misleading and untrue.
Typical minimizing dismissive stance from even a white Muslim. As if the institution and system of racism doesn't still exist. As if that system doesn't benefit some and injure others.. It's definitely not simple ignorance in America or any of the western nations.
@@ceoata the people in prison are there for breaking the law. Under Islamic law over half would of faced capital punishment because over 75% of African Americans in prison are there for murder/r@pe and other violent crimes
Why are the victims of racism always more of an issue rather than the ones who commit the offence. I understand forgiving someone for the sake of Allah but these people today don’t even acknowledge their wrongs. I watched a video today of a white woman who haus a child who’s half white half black, the mother kept calling her the N word and the daughter told her you can’t use that word and that other races are not aloud to say that word instead of her own mother acknowledging her errors she flipped it on her daughter and called her racist for not allowing a white woman to say the word she wants to say. I will not ever give a person the time of day if they are not willing to excepts their wrongs! Try giving this khutba in a mosque with predominately African American Muslims you will get a different energy furthermore go ask Iraqis to sympathize and how they feel about the American soldiers who caused over a 1million deaths and raped their mothers and daughters. I understand what the shaykh is saying but this is way off it’s easier said than done!
@@bryanbradley6871 because, even if unjustifiable, the consequences of black racism are not the same as white racism and because white racism is more prevalent, structuring and more wide spread.
@@karimb972 There's going be racism no matter what... Just like religious hate isn't going to stop... Also if there's racism towards you why would you continue to live in that country? Would you stay in China if you lived there and experienced racism
*Denmark parliament* Right wing MP: Show me one European country where Muslims have successfully integrated? Left wing MP: That's racist. Right wing MP: When did religion became a race?
Hazrat Bilal killed Ummayah in the battle of Badr, ummayah was a main enemy of the Prophet, he hated all of the Prophets people and intended to harm them.
