 Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu.  Bismillah walhamdulillah wa salatu wassalamu ala rasulullah wa ala alihi wa sahbihi wa man wala.  First of all, jazakumullahu khair for being here and you know I, just sitting here,  have had an amazing time today,  listening to all the amazing speakers and now there's all this pressure on me so,  they raised the bar, mashaAllah.  Let me start with a story.  A Bedouin man once came to our Prophet ﷺ  and this man had loaned something of value to our Prophet.  Our Prophet ﷺ,  he would take loans from people to pay the poor  or deal with certain matters for the Muslims and then  try to pay them back at a different date.  So this Bedouin man comes to our Prophet  and he says, I loaned something to you  and I need it back.  And the Prophet ﷺ said to him,  la ajidus sa'a.  I don't have any commodity to give back to you.  I don't have anything of value to pay back.  And the man said, I want what I gave you.  And the Prophet again said to him, I don't have anything to give you.  And the man kept insisting, I want what I gave you back.  Until he started to be quite harsh  in the way he was speaking to our Prophet ﷺ.  He said, uharij alayk illa qadaytani.  He said, I will essentially embarrass you  unless you pay me back.  And here the companions of the Prophet ﷺ  who are sitting here watching this happen,  they feel  their intense love for our Prophet ﷺ.  They can't bear to see someone treat him like this,  to speak to him like this.  So they said to him, woy hak,  woe unto you.  Atadri man tukalim, don't you know who you're speaking to?  This is not the average man,  this is the Prophet ﷺ.  And here, the man said, inni utalibu haqqi.  I'm only asking for my rights back.  And the Prophet ﷺ got upset as well.  But the Prophet did not get upset like the companions were upset.  In fact, he got upset at the companions of the Prophet ﷺ.  And he said to them,  hal la maa sahibil haqqi kuntum?  He said, why are you not on the side of the one  whose rights have not been restored?  The Prophet was upset with the companions  for not being on the side of the man  who's arguing with him.  Because that man's rights  had been taken away and not yet been restored.  Why are you not on his side?  It's as if the Prophet ﷺ is saying to them,  did you learn nothing from me?  Are you still gonna support  whoever it is you love the most?  Are you gonna go back to the ways of tribalism?  You support your tribe no matter what?  Rather than supporting the one  whose rights need to be fulfilled.  Then the Prophet ﷺ  sent a message to a female companion,  Qawla bint Qais.  And he asked her  if she could loan him something to pay back the man.  So she loaned some dates to the Prophet ﷺ  and he paid back the Bedouin man.  Then the Prophet ﷺ looked to his companions  and he said to them words  that are incredibly powerful and important.  إنه لا قدسة أمة لا يأخذ الضعيف  فيها حقه غير متعدى  He said, no nation has ever been purified  or sanctified  when the weak amongst them  cannot take the rights from the strong  without any hesitancy.  This is the marker of a pure nation  when the weak are able to take the rights  from the strong, not fearing anything.  These are the lessons of Rasulullah ﷺ.  The teachings that he embedded  into the hearts of his companions.  These companions were transformed  from Bedouins  who were herding flocks of sheep in the desert  and within a single generation  established one of the greatest civilizations  around the world.  That was not by accident.  That was because of the lessons  the Prophet ﷺ taught them.  And often feels like  the world around us gets a bit darker every day.  We hear of the tragedies  and the oppressions that befall  our brothers and sisters around the world.  Be them in Palestine or Kashmir or Myanmar  or our brothers and sisters in East Turkestan.  Innocents that are attacked,  provoked, dispossessed.  We hear of our Muslim scholars around the world  thrown behind bars  for no crime they've ever committed.  And we see it at our own doorstep,  in our own country.  We know the stories of those killed by law enforcement  for no reason at all.  It was not long ago  when I and others in our community  were standing up for our brother,  uncle Ijaz Chowdhury,  who was killed inside of his home by police  within seconds of them arriving into the house.  It was not long ago when our brother,  Suleiman Faqiri,  suffering from mental health issues  was beaten to death in a prison in our country.  That he suffered hundreds of blows  at the hands of guards.  And we know the cause of his death.  And law enforcement has refused  to lay a single charge in his death.  These injustices happen around us.  We know the surviving toll of colonialism  on the indigenous people of this land.  These stories of injustice surround us.  And when we hear these stories,  sometimes it feels draining.  Sometimes it feels overwhelming.  And more importantly,  it makes the world fee…
