JUMAH ADDRESS
4-5-02 Atlanta Georgia

Imam W. Deen Mohammed


With G-d's name the Merciful Benefactor the Merciful Redeemer we witness that He is One we give all praise to Him Who sustains the heavens and the earth. He cares for all of His creation especially for His human creation. And we witness that Muhammad (pbuh) to whom the Quran was revealed is His noble and generous Messenger. And Allah (swt) says of him that we should salute him with prayers and with peace.

Q. 21.107: Prophet mercy to all the worlds

We sent thee not but as a mercy for all creatures.

Allah (swt) says of him that he is a mercy to all the worlds "Maa arsalnaaka il-laa rahmatal lil-'alameen" I have not sent you except to be a mercy to all the worlds. Everything that we have in Al Islam from the Quran and from Muhammad (pbuh) who received the Quran for us directly or indirectly addresses something that is in the Scriptures that came before or in the religious traditions of the people that had religious communities before the coming of Muhammad (pbuh) G-d's servant and Messenger (pbuh).

G-d says in the Quran - - Quran is all the Word of G-d where as several scriptures are not the Word of G-d and we are not saying this, they say that. This is not us criticizing them, this is us just saying what they say of their own Scriptures, not all the Words of G-d to the Prophets. Others came behind the Prophets and they wrote and much that we find in the Scriptures of other people outside of the Muslims.


Apostle Paul writings in Bible not from G-d

Those Scriptures carry the words and teachings of their holy people, their saintly people, their rabbis, their priests etc, their monks whatever and its not all revelation from G-d. Even the apostle Paul is not accepted he is one of the main authors of the new .book in the New Testament and it's not agreed in Christian history of the Christian church that all that Paul received was from G-d.

So we only have Quran that claims to be only the Word of G-d not nothing in there came from Muhammad (pbuh) himself, he was not able to speak those words. He was not learned in Scripture he was not even acquainted with Scriptures all was strange to him. So none of it was from him it all was inspired, came directly from the Most High G-d Allah (swt).

Q. 18.49; Quran leaves out noting small or great

"And the Book (of Deeds) will be placed (before you); and thou wilt see the sinful in great terror because of what is (recorded) therein; they will say "Ah! woe to us! what a book is this! It leaves out nothing small or great but takes account thereof!" They will find all that they did placed before them: and not one will thy Lord treat with injustice."

So Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh) is a mercy to all of the worlds and where we read in the Quran that this was revealed to him he was not learned in any of this, he had no access to any of your knowledge this is made clear in the Quran of Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh). It says also that they wonder what kind of Book is this that leaves out nothing small or big.

What is it referring to? This is the key for us Muslims to understand the Quran we have to know the context that it is addressing, what context is it addressing? It is addressing every book that ever appeared in the world when it says it leaves out nothing small or great or small or large, no that's too much and its nonsense, a lot of foolishness.

The Quran doesn't address foolishness and nonsense, the Quran only address what people claim to be the Word of G-d or what people claim that G-d authorized, the Quran only addresses that and no more. Only what people claim that they have from G-d and it addresses what people claim 3-d authorizes. Did G-d authorize you to do these things chat you're doing in the name of G-d? Quran has Muhammad (pbuh) responsible for challenging them and addressing them to make them prove that this that you claim that is not from G-d - - is from G-d, you see? These are the issues, the issues are found in the context of revealed knowledge and in the context of that, that the world used after revealed knowledge or even before to say-that this is from G-d.

Quran book upright
Wherein (Quran) are Books upright and straight.

So Muhammad (pbuh) really comes as a Messenger of G-d (pbuh) to correct what the world has that they claim is from G-d, to correct this. And that's what Allah's (swt) Words say in the Quran that this is a correction on the previous books, the books that came before. This is a correction on the books that came before and a plain teaching, comes to make it plain, clear, very plain.   In addressing what came before, what came before was a plan for the future though it had not been fulfilled, the plan for man's future life on this planet to the day of judgment. And that means as long as we are human on this planet G-d has already gave us guidance to take care of us for as long as we are humans on this planet.

In the early times Scripture came to Prophets addressing both their local conditions but also pointing them to the conclusion of things. So Scriptures before Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and teachers in the Scriptures or with the Scriptures before Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) they were pointing people also to the conclusion of things. And they
were pointing to the signs that address the conclusion of things, so when G-d made man and put him on the earth as a responsible creature to carry out G-d's Will, G-d at that time inspired him to not only work in the present but to work for the future.


All humans are born with the Prophet nature

Every human being is created to not live in the present only G-d created us with the nature to wonder how the future is going to be. And I have to prepare myself for the future and if I can I have to help others prepare themselves for the future. So this is what made Prophets, the Prophet nature is in every human being, in every human being is born with the Prophet nature. We're the children of Adam, descendants of Adam and Adam was not only the first man but also the first Prophet. He warned his children he planned the life for the future, the need to prophecy grew stronger and stronger as man lived and experienced life in his environment, trouble for that live produced more and more seers to look into the future, striving, straining to look into the future to know where is this going, how can we prepare better for what we're going to face.

Muhammad is our Prophet not last Messenger 

Muhammad last seal of the Prophets

"Muhammad is not the father of any of your men but (he is) the Apostle of Allah and the Seal of the Prophets: and Allah has full knowledge of all things."

It is common knowledge that the Prophet nature is in all of us we can never say Muhammad (pbuh) is our Messenger, he's only Allah's (swt) Messenger but we always say he's our Prophet (pbuh). He's flesh of our flesh and bone of our bones, he's human like we are.

Prophet 1 am a human like you

Say: "I am but a man like yourselves (but) the inspiration has come to me that your Allah is one Allah: however expects to meet his Lord let him work righteousness and in the worship of his Lord admit no one s partner."

3-d says "'say to them I am a human mortal just like you re" 'Ana basharum methlukum" the. words of G-d to him n the Quran. "I am a human mortal just like you are" and should, the public and the. world has advanced so much in human intellect since the time of the early Prophets and since the time of the Last Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). The public has been advanced so much in the intellect, in the brain. knowledge and we're still talking to them like there ire people that were in crowds six thousand years ago, four thousand years ago, thousands of years ago. We're speaking to them just like they're that same public, we haven't progressed our communication to our religious publics that respect their graduation in knowledge. And that's why most of the people nowadays they don't have much patience with the preachers, they don't care to go to the houses of worship because the world is so far ahead of them in many respects. The world is so far ahead of their leaders in these churches and Mosques and Synagogues etc, Buddhist all suffer that.

For some reason that I think can be explained they think when you say the Word of G-d never changes I guess they think the way to communicate it never changes either. And that's to me that's horrible, we have to respect out public, the intelligence in our public and if they, the public now can have more understanding they are prepared to ask for more understanding-we should give them that understanding, and they don't have to ask for it with their mouths say , they ask for that with their attitude towards you. They ask for it with their treatment of you, they ask for it with their absence from you, we praise G-d.

Q..102L1; By the time man is lost except believers
Q-.22.47; Day as thousand years

"Yet they ask thee to hasten on the Punishment! But Allah will not fail in His promise. Verily a day in the sight of thy Lord is like a thousand years of your reckoning."

II Peter 3.8: Day as thousand years

But. beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

In the Quran we read the small chapter Asr and we ask Allah's (swt) protection from the rejected Satan, the enemy of all human beings. It begins with Bismillaher Rahmaaner Raheem as every other chapter except one the 9th chapter of the Quran. Then comes the words "wal Asr b the time translated also by the token of time and it also means the hour the Scripture before said one day with the Lord is as a thousand years of mankind, of our life.

So our thousand years is nothing but like one day with G-d, so this Asr is not an hour on the clock that you got up by Monday morning or what ever, its not that clock "Wai Asr" this is the hour. But this is a big measurement in the time of man. And it is a time of difficulty we know we know from the word Asr, the Quran is powerful and rich and potent in its power or in its capacity to communicate volumes with few words.

"Wai Asr" I use to hear as a young man interested and curious in the Scripture I use to hear that some Imams overseas that they put this Al Fatiha, one word or one line of Al Fatiha and they did volumes. I did say to myself I didn't say to anybody 4tyeah they don't have anything to do but waste time", that was when I was young. But now that I'm older and I have myself enriched my own self by my studies and I have entertained myself in such a heavenly way, I put myself like in a heavenly environment just with my curiosity searching G-d's Words. Put me in a heavenly environment.

So I have enjoyed it so much that I look back on my young mind and young expression I made and I feel ashamed, I feel sorry I want to apologize to those learned men that make the volumes Allahu Akbar. That make volumes discussing just one little short ayat or one expression and I feel right now, I know I wouldn't be bored. I could take "Wal Asr" and I could write volumes because this very word is so big and broad that it includes in its concept it includes so much of man's time on earth, man's time in history, man's life in struggle I could do volumes.


Allah intends for you ease not hardship

"Allah intends every facility for you He does not want to put you to difficulties."
Where do we get the difficulty here? This says "Wai Asr " is slightly different from ""Usr" but never the less a hint or a play on "Usr".   "Wai Asr " by the token of time and we know G-d says "I do not want for you difficulty", that's the "Usr" . "I do not want for you difficulty but I want that you be purified"


Human spirit out of the body leaves man as animal

Our flesh belongs to the animal kingdom, this flesh and blood body of our's it belongs to the animal kingdom and there was a time for many nations when their flesh was no more than that of animals. They lived like animals, they worshiped animals, they made deities in animal form, gods and they put upon their head animal horns because they were imitating animals and they -were one of the animals and they were saying that "I'm an animal with this animal's trait. Or I'm an animal with this animal's appetite or with this animals bravery or with this animal's cunningness etc".

They would wear things to identify them with animals that they loved and admired and worshiped even, some they worshiped as god. Ancient Egypt with its high and great civilization that they developed they chose many animals as deities, cat, dog and others lion many as deities, as gods. So in our flesh body we belong to the animal kingdom and when the human spirit is out of the animal body the body is nothing but the flesh of an animal, its nothing but an animal you become nothing but an animal.


Breath My spirit into man

"When I have fashioned him (in due proportion) and breathed into him of My spirit fall ye down in obeisance unto him."

Then G-d says He's going to make man - - the angels said "what will You make other than that, that will cause bloodshed?" And G-d said "I know what you know not" And G-d said "when I have given him of My own spirit then you make sajdah to him", G-d didn't say "well this man is worthy of your respect why aren't you respecting him"?    Without G-d's spirit in you you're not worthy of the respect of angels, why should angels respect you with nothing but your human nature and makeup in animal body, why? They shouldn't, you're not better than the rest of the animals, there are some-animals- better than man if you take the spirit of G-d out of man.

Creation influences man's development guides to G-d

Allah given something of His Ruh to everyone

"But He fashioned him in due proportion and breathed into him something of His spirit."

And He says He's given us something of His Ruh to everything, G-d Ruh, His spirit, says "when I have breathed unto him", G-d. is talking about that higher plane of inspiration- There are many planes, levels of inspiration that come to man, G-d made the beautiful creation itself to inspire man, the creation by itself, alone Can inspire man and aid man and assist man on the road to his own development to higher life, to higher, better and more productive life, the creation itself inspires that in its beauty, wonderment, wisdom its full of messages for the intellect.

But G-d was telling the angels this man I created I didn't create him to be left alone with the creation I created him to be influenced by the creation to come to Me, to find Me
the Artist that did this great wonder, that gave this great wonder to him. I created it to inspire him to come to Me and if he comes to Me I'm going to give him of My own spirit and when I give him of My own spirit you make sadja to him. Because I didn't give you to my world for you to serve yourselves, your _____is to serve My man, praise be to Allah (swt).

Allah sent angels three, five thousand 

24.Remember thou saidst to the faithful: is it not enough for you that Allah should help you with three thousand angels (specially) sent down? 

125. "Yea" if ye remain firm and act aright even if the enemy should rush here on you in hot haste your Lord would help you with five thousand angels making a
terrific onslaught.

Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh) said "G-d in that battle He didn't leave you alone He sent angels among you to help you get the victory. The angels were made to work with man, but the man that G-d chose to lead the humanity, al human flesh, praise be to Allah (swt) and Muhammad (pbuh) is a mercy to all the worlds.

Asr Difficulty for man's spirit

"Wai AST" concerning the time down through the ages, difficulty; difficulty for what part of man? For his spirit, all this is implied in the word "Wai Asr". Difficulty for his spirit his spirit wants to come to rest, rest from that, that is in conflict with his better nature because his spirit is the life of his better nature, it is the life.


Spirit goes beyond rational senses

Life is movement not standing still, so our life is in our spirit more than its in our body that can't go very far without the air plane or the car or something. But the spirit will even go beyond the conscious mind, go beyond the rational senses, my spirit and tell my rational senses "I'm out here and I need you to join me I want to understand where I'm at".

So this is the man that G-d made the man that I'm so happy to be I know my life I found myself and its' wonderful and that's where all of us are created to go, we're to go where
G-d created us to go. And its not to be hung up in this life like a cow or a dog or a cat or a snake, no those are creations below your creation, much below your creation, praise be to Allah (swt)

"Wai Asr" surely mankind is lost, "ennal ensaana la fee khusr" surely mankind is entrapped, lost and entrapped; "fee khurs" tells me he's not only lost but he's entrapped, he's lost and don't know the way out. "Ilal ladheena amanu" the third progression for this chapter or surah, first progression it begins with "Wai Asr", second progression begins with "ennal ensaana la fee khusr" third progress Ilal ladheena amanu" except those who have faith, who believe.

Soul given to influence return to G-d

We begin our journey back to our G-d and what is our journey back to our G-d? Is it G-d that we need to work with? No, its G-d that we need to support our work, we need to work with our fellow man, G-d does not need to be a laborer with us, he made us to be laborers with one another and among one another. So my journey back to G-d is really to get organization for what I have to do from my G-d because He gave me a soul that's very sensitive when it comes to obedience to my Lord. It obeys my Lord before it was given to me, He wouldn't even give me a soul until He created it in obedience, then He gave it to me and I was born of Clara Muhammad and Elijah Muhammad. And that soul is there in me and with me to influence me to go where G-d wants me to go.

Balance is spiritual subconscious mind, mustaqeem so first we're established in our souls and stand up erect, balanced spiritually balanced, this is no material balance, this is a spiritual balance. Man's balance is spiritual not physical and it requires the subconscious more than it requires the conscious because the mind has too much to do to be thinking on standing up. So G-d created us to have a spiritual balance in the subconscious so we don't have to be worried while we're working about standing up.

So the world walking around in the animal body maybe standing up as an animal but maybe down as a human being and we have to let them know that G-d has sent guidance to stand them up again in their soul. So when we stand up and say Allahu Akbar we're standing up in our souls, righteous, obedient, hands clean, maybe they were dirty just a second ago.

But when I put my attention on my Lord I confess all my faults and I tell Him I want my hands open to You my Lord I hide nothing from You I'm innocent in Your presence please accept me and forgive me all my sins and make me perfect and clean before You in Your presence. And you forgotten all the wrong, you're not thinking about the dope you sold last week to pay the bill, the note, you're not chinking about that when you stand up in prayer lines with us, that's out of your mind, if its in your mind you're repenting for it and hoping your repentance is accepted.

"Hal ladheena amanu" now from the soul we have to move out because the soul wants us to get something and it aim all here where I'm standing. The soul is far reaching so the soul is making me now want to move out if I move out the world is not under angels only the world that I came down in I came down into it with Satan, Satan was just a naughty boy. And all this time he had on earth since then he's grown up and he was too much of a match for me even then when we were together in the heavens or I should say in the heavenly regions. And his disobedience caused us al to be cast down together, not separately, together "qubad" all together in one bunch we were cast down.


Jibril Creation before and after Satan

And now he has had all this time to do his thing and G-d said to the arch angel Jibril peace be upon him He said "let Me show you My creation and He showed it to him and Jibril said "My Lord how can anyone go astray in such a marvelous, wonderful, beautiful creation? And in an instant G-d showed it to him eons later in time and it was all decorated by Satan and when Jibril saw it he said ;My Lord how can anyone go straight in such a creation?

Well that's, that creation that we're in, we're in that creation that when Jibril looks at it he say "how can anybody be without sin in this creation"? Says Satan filled it with allurements, enticement, temptations everywhere.


Advance the soul

So to advance with the soul that G-d gave us and with the direction that G-d put in that soul, that soul once it becomes conscious in man's world it is influenced to have many interests many appetites, many objectives or aims or hopes.

But there is one you have before your eyes open before your ears heard the world you had one direction and that direction was obedience to your G-d. To take your life and your interests in obedience to your G-d where G-d motivates human life to go, this is the original soul, the original consciousness of the human beings.

So now you're in the world and you're conscious and you're in this very difficult world to keep obedience, its very hard to keep your Taqwa in this world influenced, decorated by Satan. So the time is very difficult the hour is very trying "Wai asr". But its not so difficult for those who have faith it says   "Hal ladheena amanu" that means
you___it, its not going to be that hard on you so faith even takes the burden of Satan off my back. Faith will take the burden of Satan off my back. I think it was Otis Redding who said these words he said "I wake up in the morning, wake up early" he said and the light hurts my eyes then I look at you and the world is alright with me". He said then I look at you" he says and " a wonderful day or a beautiful day, a lovely day" now I don't know what he was addressing but I know I haven't found a woman to do that for me only the Word of G-d. 

Ilal ladheena amanu" oh daddy I got your genes and I think I have become a preacher except those who have fiaith, so G-d is saying that faith is your best weapon against the temptations. Faith is your best weapon even against the greatest tempter the shaytan himself, faith is your key to victory on the long haul with the heavy baggage to reach  your Lord, praise be to Allah (swt). What is that heavy baggage? My responsibility to develop my life and the life of my environment, my responsibility to shoulder the responsibility for the whole world and the fate of mankind to the end of time.

Ilal ladheena amanu" phase number three "Wa amelus salehaate" phase number four, and the works are righteous, their deeds are righteous; "amal" means work. Except for those who have righteous works, we know this is Scripture most of you come from Christian environment if not from Christian teachings.

And those who come from Christian teachings you know :hat this is in the Bible, same thing G-d won't accept faith alone you must bring also good works, this is the Bible. That's why Allah (swt) says in Quran "this is a correction on the Books that came previously and an extended message", but first coming out of the old and extending it so we can go further in the world with the new, righteous works.


Satan plan to send man to G-d's

The Satan after G-d created us for strong and healthy life he influences our life to be disease and weak so we need righteous works to advance the works that G-d wants in this world, Satan is here with his plan to defeat the works of man to prove man unworthy of being given this honor and this responsibility by the Creator, from the Creator. He's out to prove man wrong, eventually he wants to make the world - - this is what you ought to listen to very carefully and hold it don't forget it - - he wants the world too to be made for G-d but he has his own idea of how to make it happen. And it irks him that man takes this responsibility on himself and keeps Satan out of it.


Q. 7.17; Iblis attack before, behind right, left

"Then will I assault them from before them and behind them from their right and their left: nor wilt Thou find in most of them gratitude (for Thy mercies).

Cross, crucifixion is static, stop doing G-d's Will 

Q. 4.157; Jesus they crucified not

"That they said (in boast) "We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary the Apostle of Allah"; but they killed him not nor crucified him but so it was made to appear to them and those who differ therein are full of doubts with no (certain) knowledge but only conjecture to follow for of a surety they killed him not."

And he says_______give me something before they were in it say "I use to lead the angels, I'll fix them, I'm going to crucify the whole race of mankind."'

He told G-d he said "well I'm going to go out before them and behind them. I'm going to go on their left and on their right, he was saying to G-d I'm going to crucify the whole of mankind. And what is crucifying? Blocking, stopping, checking making static and still what should be moving for G-d, so that's why in the Quran its says no "they neither killed him neither did they make him static and still.   "Wa maa salabuuhu" and they did not give him rigor mortis.

So the fourth phase is "amelus salehate" righteous deeds will take all of us down off the cross, Taqwa by itself can't take us off the cross. The cross is static life, can't move you can have Taqwa and maybe you won't move in the name of your Taqwa maybe you'll say "I'm justified to stand still because its too dangerous for me out there in Satan's field of activity". But when the spirit comes into you to do something about your environment to work and to have righteous established for your name Satan has a contender, he's going to have to give up some of the territory. That's why G-d obligates us not to just have Taqwa but also jihad.

After Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh) had been granted victory and the environment was in their hands - - we haven't got that, we haven't gotten there yet, we're trying to get a little environment in our hands and we're making progress herein Atlanta more than we are anywhere else right now, but we haven't gotten there yet. Theirs is not a whole town that we can show people and ourselves that we have and we are the administrators for that town and we're taking care of the affairs of the people in that town, all their services, Muslim service, given by Muslims we haven't achieved that.

We haven't achieved what Muhammad (pbuh) achieved by the help, grace of G-d and His mercy in Medina and when he achieved it did he say "oh we have reached the promised land, rejoice, celebrate"? Allah (swt) says "as soon as you have completed one task immediately take up another".

Bukhari 4.79; No more Hijrah only jihad and intentions

Narrated ibn Abbass On the day of the conquest (of Mecca) the Prophet said, "There is no emigration after the :onquest but Jihad and intentions.

So Muhammad (pbuh) when peace was established for the whole land that he was then over as their leader, as their chief or as their boss, governor he said " henceforth its Taqwa and Jihad" consciousness and struggle. Do you know this is what makes all people great? Devotion to what they respect as having the power to support their good life, that's their Taqwa for that cause.  To put their thinking, their body and their money into the effort and they become a great people, I'm not going to name Allahu akbar Allah (swt) is greater. I'm not going to name any of them that come to my mind now because we don't want your mind on one struggle of other people, we want you just to be aware that G-d created all people with this nature.


Heaven enter pleasing G-d self as a worker

Q. 89.27-28;   Soul pleasing to Allah and self

27. "To the righteous soul will be said:) "O (thou) soul in
(complete) rest and satisfaction!  .

28.  "Come back thou to thy Lord well pleased (thyself) and
well pleasing unto Him!

29. "Enter thou then among my Devotees!

30. "Yea enter thou my Heaven"!

"Wa amelus salehate" work and righteous work, do you know that the heaven that G-d promise to us is a promise He has prepared for workers? For workers we go into the paradise if we make it or to the heaven if we make it that was prepared for workers. "Oh soul pleased and pleasing" pleased with your own self and pleasing

Matt 25.23; Faithful enter in joy of thy Lord

"His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord."

.. Go in isn't that what Scripture says? The Scripture that came before didn't it say "good worker, faithful servant when the time come at the end its going to be said to you faithful servant enter into My paradise", this was a promise in the Scriptures that came before its in the Bible. And here is the Quran certifying it again, certifying the faithful worker, yes paradise has been made for you.

Says enter you first enter you among My workers, "Fa adkule fee ebaadee" enter you among My workers, servants, slaves it means workers. See "Abd" means more than one thing, it never meant slave the term was abused by hard, cruel task masters, it never means slave it meant servant all the time. Then Allah (swt) came and cleared it of the abuse and raised that title up to be the highest title for human being is for G-d the Creator to call you His "Abd", His servant the highest title, no title higher than that according to the teachings of the most learned in this Religion and the most upright in this Religion .

But also according to the hints in Quran and the plain talk as well of the Quran and also Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh).   "Enter you among My workers" then you can have paradise He said "therefore enter you My paradise waad khulee Jannate, work.

Jonah 3.3: Jonah Nineveh three days journeyed

"So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the Lord. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days' journey."

So G-d has given us the steps for salvation when Jonah finally got free of his difficulties and was on land safe according to the Bible he said I have a 3 day journey.

Jonah's struggle is ours to establish community life

Q.21.87-8: Jonah cry pray repent I wronged myself

87. And remember Zun-nun when he departed in wrath: he
imagined that We had no power over him! But he cried through the depths of darkness "There is no god but Thou: Glory to Thee: I was indeed wrong!"

88. So We listened to him: and delivered him from distress: and thus do We deliver those who have faith.

G-d has established me again in my soul but now I have to find a way to move out and when I find a way to move out then I have to perceive my future destiny on this earth among these ungodly people. I'm not only to be established in my soul but I'm to be put on the right road and the right road is the next step for me. And then after the right road I am to visualize what I am to have as my community life at the end of that struggle. And don't think this has nothing to do with us it has everything to do with us, the minimum number we need for this Jumah is three, why? Because Jonah's struggle is our struggle Jonah's struggle in his soul is our struggle in our soul and once Jonah was free from the struggle with his soul then he had to establish his life on this planet.

Because G-d created him to have life on this planet and to have a model life on this planet, a life that will speak to others and tell them what they should make of their lives saying G-d has guided this man to this model and have it as a witness and as an attraction to attract others to the right life or the right establishments for man on this earth.

Kabah is a sign of connections

So that was his destiny and he reached out to pray, don't forget your connections the Kabah is a sign of connections, that's exactly what it is, its greatest meaning and message is a sign of connections. That it connects that, that was separated, reconciles that, that should be together and not against one another or against that other part that belongs to it. To bring all parts that belong together, together, they have been separated and divided by the schemes of Satan; to bring them all together again to bring man in unity with mankind not just with his nation or just with his race or with his secret order, people of his persuasion, no.


People of the human soul, to bring all that belong to the soul of Adam together so they again become one life harmoniously living for righteousness and for abundance of good that G-d created us for.

Truth, reality is the original nature G-d created 

Q. 17.81; Truth comes falsehood vanishes, perish

And say: "Truth has (now) arrived and Falsehood perished: for Falsehood is (by its nature) bound to perish."

After work what pressure we're going to feel? The pressure of correctness, a worker will be under the pressure to be correct, not to make mistakes, not to have flaws with his work "watawsau bil haqq" and they cooperate or they mutually support the advancement of truth. But this truth is not common truth this is the broadest picture of truth, this is the broadest context for truth "Al haqq" As Sidq" is the truth. If you spoke the truth we say "Sadaqa" from "Sidq" meaning the truth. So the truth for the tongue is "Sadaqa" "Q" at the end.

The truth for the whole life is "Haqq". You may have a truthful tongue but you may not be aware of reality, reality was real, genuine in the nature and in picture and in the function that G-d created for it and you that's "Haqq"; "wa zahaqal batel" the truth has come and falsehood perishes "wa zahaqal batel".

So man that's speaking this truth is not enough to kill falsehood but if he ever universalizes his truth to respect all truth that G-d created now he's ready to slay "Al Batil".. "Jaa-al haqq wa zahaqal batel" the truth has come and falsehood perishes. And it is of the nature to perish before truth but not before your truth, before The Truth, the all inclusive truth, the universal truth. When it is put in that nature what happens to it is the same thing that happens to the vampire when the sun light shines on it, he disappears he becomes nonexistent.

So these are steps that we must take or be aware of in order to guarantee, assure us success in that difficult time for the soul and the human spirit "Wai Asr". In that difficult time will go on and on for as long as man is making history, that's why its called by one translator "down through the ages, the token of time through the ages", why? Because Satan is not going anywhere so when you stand up in your soul he say "well they aren't going anywhere because I got the environment".

G-d told us to build future don't ask the white man 

Q. 34.12; Solomon Jinn worked for him 

"And to Solomon (We made) the Wind (obedient): its early morning (stride) was a month's (journey) and its evening (stride) was a month's (journey); and We made a Font of molten brass to flow for him; and there were Jinns that worked in front of him by the leave of his Lord and if any of them turned aside from Our command We made Him taste of the Penalty of the Blazing Fire."

So you have to have the faith to meet the challenge and know that G-d obligates you to not excuse yourself because Satan has the world, that's the spirit of the black man "oh you know you can't do anything" . Invite them to cooperate with you in a great work that involves even a contest with the establishment, with the big rich white folks and coward black man "he knows we can't go no where, you know the white man ain't going to let us do that". We're not asking the white man to let us do anything, we're doing what our G-d told us to do and we don't even have patient with you talking about what the white man is going to say, Allahu Akbar.

And if you clean up your act the white man won't be in your way that much in fact you can clean up your act to the extent that he won't only get out of your way but he'll send some of his associates to you to let you know that he appreciates what you're doing. Now I'm not talking about holy saintly white people only, I'm talking about those also who don't even pray because G-d gave Solomon the jinns in his army to help him work.

Q. 72.1; Jinn heard recital of Quran 

1. Say: It has been revealed to me that a company of Jinns
listened (to the Qur'an). They say 'We have really heard
a wonderful Recital!

2.. It gives guidance to the Right and we have believed therein: We shall not join (in worship) any (gods) with our Lord.

Jinns came to join him, help him work and Allah (swt) says in Quran the Quran is so powerful with its communication its so beautiful it said a party among the jinn heard and said "This is a wonderful recital" they almost got the holy ghost so they said "This is a wonderful recital, neither men nor jinn should disrespect it".

Truth knock out falsehood brains means kills logic 

Q. 21.18; Truth knock out falsehood brains

"Nay We hurl the Truth against falsehood and it knocks out its brain and behold falsehood doth perish! Ah! woe be to you for the (false) things ye ascribe (to Us)."
Now when truth comes it has the power to kill falsehood that's given to us in the Quran G-d's Word, it has the power to kill falsehood . And where does it kill it? In the head and this is referring to what was said before, that's what the Bible says too, it says strike him in his head. It has the power to kill him and kill him in the head that means it has the power to kill the logic that supports the lie, the logic that holds up the falsehood.    It will kill the logic that's killing in the head Allahu akbar, but after than don't think the war is going to be two minutes, 7 days, 10 days no the war may have to go on until G-d concludes the matter.

We aren't the one to say when to stop only G-d can say when to stop, G-d will tell Satan when to stop and G-d will tell us when to stop. We're to work and not to have even on our mind a get off time, no time to get off the job its not even in this reality, just work. When you work with that kind of awareness time doesn't bother you "ilal ladheena amanu wa amelus salehaate.

Wa tawaasel bil haqq wa tawaasel bi sabr " and they encourage one another to be patient, they mutually support patience and perseverance, praise be to Allah (swt). We have the answer, we have the sure formula for success here and hereafter and lets accept it and act on it like determined men at war not thinking about going back home but thinking about the victory.   So we ask G-d to forgive us our errors have mercy on us and guide us always Ameen.

Praise be to G-d the Lord Cherisher and Sustainer the Keeper of the worlds we witness that He's One alone that there is nothing to be compared with Him. And we witness
that Muhammad (pbuh) to whom the Quran was revealed we witness that Muhammad (pbuh) is His servant and His Messenger and a mercy to all the worlds.

Friday Jumah payday

In the conclusion of this address on the best day in the life of man Jumah, Friday now at least they have chose the right day to make pay day didn't they? G-d has guided me to much understanding and I know now that even though Satan had decorated this world 
G-d's angels are still here. And this world does not only have the imprint of Satan but it has the imprint also of G-d's angels on it, praise be to Allah (swt) and we thank Him for His Messengers all of them, angels and humans.

In concluding this khutbah we want to see where all of this life and effort should be in community in the ummah of Muhammad (pbuh). So where ever we are we should be trying to establish ourselves in the ummah of Muhammad (pbuh) or in the ummah of Al Islam that should be our main focus. We have to establish ourselves in the ummah of Muhammad (pbuh) or in the ummah of Al Islam. That means we cannot go around and be pleased with our life and accomplishments and we have no community model that the people can look at and say "this is after the model in Medinah, these people do not have pork on this block. These people do not sell liquors on this block, these people do not commit crimes on this block". What I'm saying? If you could only get one block lets make that one block a model of the ummah.

"They don't have crime on this block, the police is not even needed around here" that's what we want "and though they're small in numbers they're industrious. The small block has stores on it run by them, products made by them or imported from other good Muslims who need support for their life". And we are buying products to help the life of other Muslims in other areas of the world who are making a good effort. They are good people we want to help support their life too.

Q. 21.92; One community worship Me

"Verily this Brotherhood of yours is a single Brotherhood and I am your Lord and Cherisher: therefore serve Me (and no other)."

This ummah is one ummah and I am your Lord therefore worship only Me that's what 
G-d says in Quran. This community is one united community and I am your Lord therefore worship only Me. Doesn't that language sound similar? Its about twelve centuries or more 1200 yrs or more older than the language of the founding fathers but they said one nation united indivisible under G-d the Creator. Thank you very much we conclude this khutbah and ask G-d to forgive us our ignorance our short comings our sins as well. Guide us and give us mercy always our Lord   ameen.
