Assalamalaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu.
Alhamdulillah, assalaatu wassalaamu ’ala Rasoolullah
The month of Ramadan is here. May Allah give us
tawfeeq to fast this Ramadan and thus earn His countless Mercy and forgiveness
for our sins.
My dear brothers and sisters in Islam, we, the Muslim
Ummah is now witnessing one of the rarest moments in history. As people say, we
are now witnessing the uprising of the Muslim Ummah to the glorious days of past
– Insha Allah. We have seen people in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Yemen and rise,
the last year. We have seen how Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala has toppled the
oppressive regimes one after the other at the hands of simple steadfast Muslims,
and now glad tiding are flowing from Syria regarding the crumbling of Bashar the
murderer. Alhamdulillah, Allahu Akbar! the mujahideen in FSA has already
managed to take some of his top officials out.
Brothers and sisters, we know that our people are
oppressed all over the globe, whether it is in Palestine, Kashmir, Syria,
Chechnya, China, or in Burma, the story is all the same with different people.
The sad part is when we look at what our stance is towards these issues. Being
a person living far away from these lands, I find myself as if living in a
different universe. I see no concern from the people around me towards these
sufferings our brothers bear, even though the words of our Beloved (s) are
clear regarding these matters. I see no word spoken by the leaders of
organizations – with the exception of a very few. Also I see no Imaam making a
Khutba on the mimbar or any dua for these people. Sometimes it makes me wonder
whether these people have not heard of these events or not.
