ON THE RISE Part 1 of 7
Khutbah in Perth City organized by Perth City Musallah Association 03/09/2021
Rising in what sense? This needs to be clarified because non-Muslims who keep track of things and rightfully so (or as the saying goes… Even the Walls have Ears) can misunderstand.
- This is NOT a call to Muslims in Australia to rise and fight in the physical sense.
- Do I believe in Jihad (in the sense of fighting in the path of Allah)? YES. Is such a jihad possible in Australia? NO
So how can we rise in Australia (or in the western world)? Here I would like to refer to two great hadiths of Prophet (saws).
On the authority of Abu Sa’eed al-Khudree (ra) who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) say, "Whosoever of you sees an evil, let him change it with his hand; and if he is not able to do so, then [let him change it] with his tongue; and if he is not able to do so, then with this heart - and that is the weakest of faith." [Sahih Muslim]
Hadith on Jihad: Best jihad to speak truth in front of oppressors Tariq ibn Shihab reported: A man asked the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, “What is the best jihad?” The Prophet said, “A word of truth in front of a tyrannical ruler.” Source: Musnad Aḥmad 18449
So the need of the hours once again brs is to RISE UP AND SPEAK THE TRUTH.
