Thank God We're Not Them | Khutbah

Of the names of Allah is Al-Jabbar, but it has entirely different implications than when humans manifest it. A powerful story of how the final prophets of Bani Israel reflected together on the moral decay around them. How do we process and react when we see the glaring hypocrisy around us that we see today?

This transcript was auto-generated using AI and may contain misspellings.
Dear brothers and sisters, the Prophet ﷺ says to us that of the babies that spoke from the cradle. And subhanAllah, we know the famous stories of Isa ﷺ,
Jesus peace be upon him, speaking from the cradle. And then there's another famous story of Juraij, whose child or the child that was alleged to be his spoke from the cradle.
The Prophet ﷺ says in an authentic hadith in Bukhari that there was once a woman from Bani Israel. And she was nursing her child. And as she was nursing her child,
this handsome rider came by. And he was a man who carried himself with strength, power, who had the looks and the feel
of everything that you would want from your own child. And as she's nursing her child and as this rider passes by, she says, اللهم اجعل ابني مثله
O Allah, make my son like this rider. And the Prophet ﷺ said that of the miracles of Allah ﷻ, Allah caused that baby that was nursing from his mother, from Bani Israel,
to leave the chest of his mother and to say, اللهم لا تجعلني مثله O Allah, don't make me like him. O Allah, don't make me like him.
And then he went back to nursing the Prophet ﷺ said. Then a woman came by and she was a slave girl in that society, oppressed, beaten down, has no place in her society.
And the woman said, having just witnessed that miracle with her child, اللهم لا تجعل ابني مثلها O Allah, don't make my son like her.
And the Prophet ﷺ said that the baby left the chest of his mother and said, اللهم اجعلني مثلها O Allah, make me like her.
At this point, the mother says, why? Why is it that you would say such a thing? Why would this child speak to say, O Allah, don't make me like that powerful, handsome rider.
And O Allah, make me like that oppressed slave girl. And so the child spoke and the child said, as for الراكب, as for that rider. Then he is جبار من الجبابرة
He's a tyrant from the tyrants. He's an arrogant man. He's a tyrant. And as for that woman. She is an oppressed woman. يقولون, they say, زنيتِ سرقتِ
They say to her all sorts of accusations. You stole, you committed adultery, and she's innocent of their claims. SubhanAllah, think about this. O Allah, don't make me like him. O Allah, make me like her.
From the outside, it looks like this is the place that you want to have in society. But we are not a people who seek power on this earth. We're a people who seek the praise of the most powerful on this earth.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. And I want you just to remember that du'a. اللهم لا تجعلني مثله O Allah, don't make me like him.
Because sometimes you don't just need good examples, you also need bad examples. And that's why Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala gives us both in the Quran. You don't just need heroes, you actually need to see villains
so that while you're aspiring to become a hero yourself, you don't become a villain unknowingly or slowly by adopting the characteristics of those evil nations or those people. You need to know about Musa alayhi as-salam,
but you also need to know about Fir'aun. You need to know about Jibril alayhi as-salam, but you also need to know about Iblis. You need to know about the righteous that came before you. You need to know about Abu Bakr radiyAllahu ta'ala anhu.
You also need to know about Abu Jahl. Why? Because you don't know if you will slowly embed within your own personality
those characteristics and those attributes and become like that. As I was speaking to my own children subhanAllah, this week in particular,
it's a nauseating political process every four years in the United States. You see the moral bankruptcy of both parties, you see the hypocrisy of both parties, and you sit there and you wonder and you watch them celebrate
and you watch them in their joy and you think to yourself, wow, that's what a party of shaitan looks like. I'm like completely disgusted and now in particular when you have a genocide playing out on your screen,
some of you might have seen where they put the images of what's happening in Gaza and the images of what's happening in the Republican National Convention or the Democratic National Convention. When you show the contrast of these images,
the dancing and the joy and the death and destruction caused to those people by those that are in dancing and in joy, and then you see the commentary and then you log on online and you see colleagues at work, people that you thought were decent human beings
and they're celebrating this and they're going along with the flow and there has probably never been a point in society or in our time where you can see evil and righteousness
so obviously contrast against one another. Is there anything more evil than what you are seeing of the perpetrators from those soldiers or beyond and anything more righteous than what you're seeing in Gaza?
It's never been so obvious and so blatant, the contrast, right, of what evil and righteousness looks like, of what wickedness and righteousness looks like. And subhanAllah as we're watching this nauseating process play out
in the last few days, I'm talking to my own children and I'm realizing that they're realizing something that Alhamdulillah we're not them. Alhamdulillah we're not those people.
Alhamdulillah Allah spared us of that hypocrisy. Alhamdulillah in a moment where such a contrast is so blatant and obvious, we understand what side we're supposed to be on and we get it.
Alhamdulillah Allah spared us from being a part of that tyranny knowingly and of course there are many other ways that unfortunately we do participate. But Alhamdulillah we have clarity because sometimes in order to find moral clarity
you have to see such a blatant display of moral hypocrisy. Alhamdulillah Allahumma la taj'alna mithlahum. Oh Allah don't make us like them. But there's a point here that I want to get to. Going back to that hadith.
That the ugliest characteristic that can be found in a human being is to be Jabbar. Is to be that particular type of a tyrant on this earth. And I want to sit with this because subhanAllah there is something,
you know throughout the Quran that you find about this word. There are names of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala that denote a particular, of course all of his names and attributes belong only to him.
وَلَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهِ شَيْءٌ And nothing is like him subhanahu wa ta'ala. But they have a quality from those names and attributes that human beings can channel in the most beautiful of ways. Of course the most obvious being Ar-Rahman. The most merciful. Who sent to us.
رَحْمَةً لِلْعَالَمِينَ A mercy to the world. ارْحَمُوا مَنْ فِي الْأَرْضِ يَرْحَمُكُم مَنْ فِي السَّمَاءِ Be merciful to those that are on earth. The one in the heavens will be merciful to you. Al-Kareem. The generous one. You wanna channel generosity.
And be a source of generosity while connecting it to the ultimate source of generosity. And our generosity is not like his generosity. Al-Haqq, Al-Adl. The truthful one. The truth. Justice. Allah is the just.
You wanna be a source of those things in this earth. While connecting it back to the ultimate source. And the way we manifest it is nothing like what is denoted by the names and attributes of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
He is alone in that subhanahu wa ta'ala. But then there are names that only belong to Him. And the manifestation when it takes on a human form becomes the exact opposite of that.
Jabbar is the name I want you to sit with. Jabbar as it applies to a human being. As Imam Al-Baghawi rahimahullah says, the easiest definition of Jabbar when it comes to a human being is,
الذي لا يرى لأحد عليه حق The person who does not see that there are rights that are due upon him to others. No one has rights upon that person.
So the more power that person accumulates, the more that they are enslaved to that power. And the more that they use that power to channel their own goals and aims on this earth. And they do not see anyone falling
within the domain of their power as having any rights upon them. They have complete disregard for those rights. Meaning, the more powerful they become, the more they disregard those that come under their authority.
The more power they have, the more they break. As for Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, الجبار It has an entirely different meaning. Allah is the most powerful, Allah is the compeller. But you know what?
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala with that power, mends. He restores. And that's one of the implications of الجبار that when you turn to him, he puts you back together. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has power over all things.
And he mends with that power. Human beings on the other hand, tend to absorb what Allah gives them of the illusion of power. And then use it to wrong, and use it to oppress.
And you need to see that sometimes to say, Oh Allah, don't ever make me like that in any way whatsoever. What is the proof of it with this particular name? Sit with it for a moment.
This woman that the Prophet ﷺ was talking about, was a woman from Bani Israel. And we know as Ibn al-Qayyim rahimahullah says, the most wicked generation of Bani Israel was the last part of it where Allah عز وجل sent Yahya and Isa. May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala send
His peace and blessings upon them all. Zakariya, Jesus, John, these noble prophets that Allah عز وجل sends towards the end of Bani Israel. And as these prophets speak about the traits that they have,
or Allah speaks about their traits, Allah عز وجل gives us a long list of what they actually represent. And so Yahya عليه السلام. When Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala describes that He has sent Yahya عليه السلام.
وَلَمْ يَكُنْ جَبَّارًا عَصِيًّا That Allah عز وجل has given him all of these beautiful traits. حَنَانًا مِنْ لَدُنَّا وَزَكَاةً وَكَانَ تَقِيًّا
A person with special compassion. A person with special mercy. A person who was especially God-fearing and pious. A person of authority and wisdom and judgment. But He is not
جَبَّارًا عَصِيًّا You know what? He's not a tyrant, and He is not one who is disobedient. Something very powerful here by the way. بَرًّا بِوَالِدَيْهِ He is dutiful to His parents,
and He is not a tyrant, and He is not disobedient. A few ayat after, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala talks about Isa عليه السلام, Jesus peace be upon him, who speaks from the crib like that baby from Bani Israel, miraculously,
and introduces himself to society. بَرًّا بِوَالِدَتِي وَلَمْ يَجْعَلْنِي جَبَّارًا شَقِيًّا Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has made me dutiful to my mother,
and He has not made me a tyrant who is unblessed. Ibn Al-Qayyim rahimahullah says, notice by the way, this phases out from the same stream, which is, has not made me
one who is disobedient to my parents, or one who is not dutiful to my parents. Allah made us dutiful to our parents, and he says that the most obvious feature of the moral decay of society is how the parents are treated, subhanAllah.
And if you read about Bani Israel at that time, the way that they started to treat their parents, it was obvious. And when the Prophet ﷺ talks about the moral decay of society towards the end of time, أَنْ تَلِدَ الْأَمَةُ رَبَّتَهَا that a woman will give birth to her master.
And one of the implications of that that the scholars mention, is that a child will treat their parents like a slave, because they no longer have moral constraints. They no longer have the values
that would make them want to treat the elders in their society in a certain way. Everything becomes about access and opportunity and power. And at some point, your parent becomes a hindrance to that, if you don't have values
and you don't believe in anything greater than yourself. And so that decay shows. And so as they introduce themselves, Yahya alayhi as-salam, I am dutiful to my parents. And Allah has not made me an oppressor, He has not made me a tyrant,
and He has not made me one who is disobedient. Isa alayhi as-salam, Allah عز وجل has made me dutiful to my mother, Maryam. And one of the beautiful signs
that Isa alayhi as-salam was only born to Maryam alayha as-salam in a virgin birth was that he says, والدتي, my mother, instead of my parents. And He did not make me a tyrant, and He did not make me unblessed.
The scholars say that as for the second word, عصيًّا, for Yahya alayhi as-salam, because Zakariya alayhi as-salam was making du'a for a child that will embody the best of all of the scholars
and all of the prophets and the righteous ones of Bani Israel. And Allah blessed Zakariya alayhi as-salam with a child that would have a special type of compassion for his parents. So he is compassionate already, but his compassion to his parents is beautiful.
As for Isa alayhi as-salam, that the accusation of Christ, the accusation of Isa alayhi as-salam is that he's unblessed, that he's a curse. And Isa alayhi as-salam is مبارك, he's blessed.
And he carried الأمر بالمعروف والنهي عن المنكر, wherever he goes, enjoining the good and forbidding evil. He is not a curse to his mother, nor was he a curse to his society, but he was blessed. But the first thing they denounce is,
we are not جبارون, we are not tyrants or arrogant people. Our Prophet ﷺ, this is so powerful. Our Prophet ﷺ,
as he's sitting with his companions, and a man serves some food, and if you watch the Prophet ﷺ sit and eat with his companions, he sat in such a humble way, and he ate with them from the sides of the plate. And someone looked at him in absolute amazement,
like this is not how the king of a people behaves. And the Prophet ﷺ says to him, in authentic hadith, إِنَّ اللَّهَ بَعَثَنِي عَبْدًا كَرِيمًا Allah ﷻ sent me as a noble servant.
وَلَمْ يَبْعَثْنِي أَوْ لَمْ يَجْعَلْنِي جَبَّارًا عَنِيدًا Or as he ﷺ said, Allah did not make me جبارًا عنيدًا, a stubborn, arrogant tyrant. That's not who I am. That's not the ethos of Islam.
That's not what the Prophets are like. That's not what the followers of Prophets are supposed to be like. That this quality is so hated, that it's the first quality that these Prophets throw off of themselves. We are not these people. And on the Day of Judgment,
when Allah ﷻ establishes once again, as He always is in dominion, but announces His dominion as everyone has passed. Allah ﷻ says, أَنَا الْمَلِكُ أَنَا الْمَلِكُ
I am the king, I am the king. Where are the kings of the earth? أَيْنَ الْجَبَّارُونَ الْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ Where are those people who claim power? Where are those tyrants today?
Where are those proud, boastful people today? So may Allah ﷻ protect us from this trait. And the beauty of it is that the more you connect yourself to Al-Jabbar,
the less chance you have of becoming Jabbar yourself. Because you realize that He has all power, and that He restores and compels with that power. And so when Allah ﷻ gives you some sort of authority, whatever that is,
some sort of power over a situation, you don't oppress with that because Allah ﷻ does not oppress. You don't feel proud with that because you know that anything you have of wealth, or power, or access is because Allah ﷻ gave it to you.
So it actually humbles you instead of making you arrogant. You maintain clarity instead of hypocrisy because you know that Allah ﷻ is testing you with that power. Allah ﷻ is testing you with that authority. Whatever it is, even if it's the authority in your house.
As opposed to giving you free reign to do whatever you want. And now, in this time, what a clear example that is right in front of you. What a way to speak to your kids
and to say, we are different. There is ghurba, there is being strange, that we should actually adopt a mindset of ghuraba,
of being against the curve of society. There are very few times that Islam is gonna go with the trend or become the trend in society. We're going to be at odds with society when it comes to morality and standards of morality, and culture, and materialism,
and all sorts of things. We're gonna be at odds with society. And we should embrace that. We'll be at odds with society, with tawheed, with monotheism, and everything stemming from la ilaha illallah. We should embrace that. And all sorts of other things.
We're going to be at odds with society. But one of the ways that we have to be at odds with society is this. This idea of oppression. You look at that.
And you go, oh Allah, don't make me like that. Oh Allah, don't make me that person. Oh Allah, don't make us like this group of people. Oh Allah, protect us from embodying that. Because it is so hated to you.
It was so hated to your prophets to have an element of that in their lives. What's the practical step? Other than looking at our political system as it is.
And by the way, my views only represent my views and not the views of Rahma. Looking at the political system and the complete moral bankruptcy of the political system. Or looking at the presidential candidates. Or looking at this. Or looking at that.
Or looking at the hypocrisy of people as they speak about Gaza. And as they speak about the genocide today. And somehow find themselves still justifying a genocide. Almost 200,000 dead people later and where it's undeniable.
What's the practical manifestation? Analyze in your own life. Every single domain of power that Allah has given to you. And connect yourself to Al-Jabbar.
And say, oh Allah, don't make me Jabbar. Don't let me be like that. Look at the bad examples that are in front of you. And use that to educate your own family. And say, you know what?
With everything bad that's happening to the people of Gaza. Every heartbreaking video that we see. Every video of starvation. Even the videos of children with their heads blown into two. I would much rather meet Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
as one of those people than one of those people. And I'm happy to be on their side and not on their side. I don't care what the power dynamics look like. I don't care what the media looks like. I don't care how ostracized and isolated I'm going to be.
I would much rather be on their side than be on that side. And it's a blessing that we have the clarity to see so clearly what truth and righteousness look like. And what oppression looks like.
What a feat for the magicians of the Fir'aun today being the media to pull this act to somehow convince people. That the people that are carrying out this genocide daily
are actually the innocent ones. An oppressed and in need of protection and defense. What a feat. What a feat. It's more than the pythons. It's more than an optical illusion.
What a feat. And what a time for us to be alive in. But pull yourself back. May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala put us always on the side of the oppressed. May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala allow us to have moral clarity.
May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala never allow us to be deluded by our power. May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala never allow us to have the wool pulled over our eyes such that we can't see the truth anymore. May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala be with our brothers and sisters
who are oppressed in Palestine and all over the world. Dear brothers and sisters, I leave you with this. Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, that when the time of fitna comes,
be the servant of Allah who is oppressed, not the one that is oppressing. Be the servant of Allah who is killed, not the one who is killing. Even if it means that you have to be oppressed yourself
in order to avoid taking on some of that oppression in your own life. It's better to meet Allah that way. And sometimes, you have to fast forward in order to make sense
of what's happening in the present. There will come a time where all of us will hear Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala say, ayna al-jabbaroon, ayna al-mutakabbiroon? Where are they today? Where that's what the convention will look like.
Allah azza wa jal calling those tyrants forward and holding them accountable. And then Allah azza wa jal calling forth the oppressed to give them justice. May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala put us on the right side of that and everything else. Allahumma ameen.
I say this and ask Allah to forgive me and you and the Muslims. So forgive me. Indeed, He is Forgiving and Merciful.
