Reflections on the historical, spiritual, and prophetic significance of Bilad al-Sham (Syria) and the victory of the truth over oppression.
Key Lessons
Bilad al-Sham holds immense spiritual virtue, having been home to numerous Prophets and the site where all Prophets gathered during the night of Isra and Mi'raj.
Worldly distractions often cause believers to lose focus on the larger context of Islamic history and the events preceding Qiyamah.
Believers who display steadfastness (Istiqamah) through severe trials and persecution will ultimately be granted victory by Allah's decree.
Prophetic traditions highlight the continuous presence of a triumphant group standing upon the truth in Sham until the end of times.
Quranic/Hadith References
Surah Al-Anbiya: Reference to the blessed land saved for Prophet Ibrahim (AS) and Lut (AS).
Hadith of Imran ibn Husain (RA): A group from the Ummah will continuously fight upon the truth and prevail until their last fight against the Dajjal.
Hadith from Sunan Abi Dawud: Encouragement regarding Hijrah to Sham and the prophetic indication of armies in Sham, Yemen, and Iraq in the end times.

0:02 Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. 0:09 Alhamdulillah. 0:10 Alhamdulillahi wa barakatuh. 0:12 Salatu wassalamu ala Sayyidinil Mustafa. 0:17 Sallallahu alayhi wa ala alihi wa ashabihi wa baraka wa sallam. 0:21 Tasliman kathiran kathira. 0:24 Amma ba'ad. 0:25 Faqad qalallahu tabaraka wa ta'alaka al-Qur'an al-Majeed. 0:30 A'udhu billahi min ash-shaytan al-rajim. 0:32 Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Rahim. 0:35 Wa najjainahu wa juqan ila al-ardi il-lati ba'rafna fi halil al-alamin. 0:41 Sadaqallahu anheem. 0:44 Wa an Imran ibn Hussainin radiyallahu ta'ala anhu qal. 0:47 Qala Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 0:52 La tazalu ta'ifatun min ummati yuqatiluna ala al-haqq. 0:57 Zahirina ala mannawa ahum. 1:00 Hatta yuqatilu akhiruhum al-nasiha al-dajjal. 1:04 Wa kama qala nabiyu sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 1:09 Alhamdulillah. 1:10 With the fazal karam and ihsan of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. 1:13 We find ourselves once again on a Mubarak day or Jumu'ah. 1:18 And this Jumu'ah is special because in Syria today 1:29 From many pulpits, many masajid, there will be a proper Jumu'ah taking place. 1:39 And the fatibs, those who will be delivering the khutbah of Jumu'ah, they will not have to praise the shaitan who calls himself Bashar Assad. 1:55 They will not have to praise him in the khutbah. 1:58 So a proper Jumu'ah will take place as takes place in the masajid of the Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama'ah. 2:08 So this is a great victory for Islam, a great victory for Muslims. 2:14 Alhamdulillah. 2:16 Syria is now under control of Ahlul Sunnah wal Jama'at. 2:21 And we just received some news this morning. 2:25 Allah knows best. 2:28 But the different factions, the different Mujahideen groups, so they have decided to unite as one. 2:37 Different, different groups were fighting in Syria against the oppressive regime. 2:45 So, just to get a little bit of a background of what transpired in Syria, we're not going into history that is too far back. 2:57 We're just going... See, sometime you've got to understand the history a little bit. 3:06 So this what we call Bilad al-Sham. 3:10 In English I think they refer to it as the Levant. 3:14 So Bilad al-Sham is not Syria. 3:17 Syria is a small portion of Bilad al-Sham or the Levant. 3:22 So Jordan... 3:24 Parts of Lebanon, Palestine and Syria all make up the Levant. 3:33 In fact, some say even small portion of Saudi is part of the Levant. 3:38 Wallahu anhu. 3:40 But these countries make up what we refer to as Birad-ush-Sham. 3:45 So this Birad-ush-Sham is rich in not our history but in our deen. 3:51 It's not just historical facts. 3:54 But it's very very rich in our deen. 3:57 Nabiya Kareem sallallahu alayhi wasallam said that Iman. 4:03 Iman will be in the lands of Sham. 4:06 And in the lands of Yemen. 4:09 These lands will be lands of Iman. 4:14 In one hadith sharif which appears in Abu Dawud sharif. 4:17 There is some kalam on the hadith. 4:19 But it is still a hadith sharif nonetheless. 4:22 When Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam encouraged people that they should make hijrat to Sham. 4:31 So one is the hijrat which was wajib where the mu'mineen in the time of Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam had to leave Makkah, Makarramah and make hijrat to Madinah, Manawarah. 4:43 That was a hijrat that was wajib. 4:45 You had to do it. 4:47 Unless you had a shari'i excuse. 4:50 But then there is hijrat which is mustahab. 4:53 Different, different categories of hijrat the ulama have mentioned. 4:57 And one hijrat is to go to Bilad-ush-Sham. 5:01 It is also mustahab. 5:05 Bilad-ush-Sham is a place, the belly of that land carries many anbiyaa alayhimus salatu wassalam. 5:15 And I say Anbiya a.s. 5:18 I didn't say the bodies of Anbiya a.s. 5:21 I said Anbiya a.s. because Anbiya a.s. Allah Ta'ala gives them a type of Hayati in the Barzakh which is of a higher type of Hayati that the normal person is given. 5:35 The Hayati 5:36 That the Anbiya Ali Musallatu Wasallam is given in the barzakh affects even some aspects of the dunya. 5:45 We are not going to the details of it but this is why you find that Anbiya Ali Musallatu Wasallam, their wealth is not inherited by anybody. 5:55 Anbiya a.s. Their widows, the honorable wives of the Anbiya a.s. they don't marry anybody else. 6:05 There are other details which those that become ulama etc. 6:10 they will study. 6:12 So when the lands of Sham hold, the bellies of the lands of Sham hold so many Anbiya a.s. then one can only imagine 6:25 The Nur in those lands. 6:27 The spiritual Nur that one will derive by being in those lands. 6:34 Bilal al-Sham is the only place where every Nabi of Allah Ta'ala assembled. 6:42 On the night of Mi'raj, at one time, every Nabi of Allah Ta'ala, we don't even know the exact number of Anbiya alayhimussalatu wassalam. 6:55 But every Nabi of Allah Ta'ala assembled there and Huzoor-e-Paq sallallahu alayhi wasallam performed Salah as Imam al-Anbiya. 7:04 As the Imam of all the Anbiya. 7:09 It is the tactic of the Kuffar to divide and rule. 7:14 And one of their ways of causing division is to create countries. 7:20 And within countries, provinces and towns and villages. 7:24 So each person feels, no, we belong to that town. 7:26 Great town people feel, we belong to great town. 7:29 Nobody like us. 7:30 Peter Maslow people feel, no, you're from the farm, we from the city. 7:34 And Durban people feel, we from a metropolitan. 7:37 And Jobbuk people feel, no, we from the land of gold, you're from the land of bananas and corn. 7:42 So everyone has this pride of where he comes from. 7:47 Whereas the entire earth belongs to Allah Ta'ala. 7:50 In the sight of Allah Ta'ala, this is all one land. 7:53 But Allah Ta'ala has given fazidat to different places. 7:57 Spiritual fazidat to different places. 8:00 Like Makkah Mukarramah has got fazidat. 8:03 Madinah Munawarah has got fazidat. 8:05 The land of Sham has got fazidat. 8:11 The land of Sham, not only does it have spiritual benefits, it even has worldly benefits. 8:21 The land is very fertile. 8:23 The air is very clean. 8:25 The waters are pure. 8:27 There is abundant risk in those lands. 8:30 That is a worldly benefit. 8:33 Now, this land was attacked by the crusaders. 8:41 This land was attacked by the French. 8:44 They all had their time in this land. 8:47 But eventually, the Mujahideen always vanquished them. 8:53 In the recent history, a shaitan by the name, we don't like to call him that, shaitan in human form, by the name of Hafiz al-Assad. 9:12 So to be given the title Hafiz is not sufficient. 9:15 He was not Hafiz al-Quran by the way. 9:17 The Shias, generally they cannot memorize the Quran too. 9:24 A person's titles don't give him entitlement to Jannat. 9:32 It is Taqwa. 9:34 This was a saying of Hazrat Mahish Patiasa rahmatullah. 9:38 Somebody just reminded me of it recently. 9:42 They were preparing some Malfuzat to be posted and they sent this Malfuzat. 9:47 So, coming back to what we were saying. 9:52 In 1970 or 71, this Hafiz al-Assad, Nusayri, Shiri, Alawi, he took charge of Syria. 10:10 What we call Syria. 10:12 Now, when the French, if you read up your history, stop playing with the phones and worrying about sport. 10:21 And you take some time to read your history. 10:23 And you study this. 10:25 And you will learn. 10:26 That when the French came. 10:28 And they tried to conquer the land. 10:31 When the crusaders came. 10:33 They always fought the Nusayris. 10:36 But when the. 10:37 Because they thought that these are Muslims. 10:39 Like Ahlus Sunnah. 10:41 But when they realized that these people are not Muslim. 10:45 The French gave the Nusayris. 10:48 I think it was the French that gave the Nusayris the name Alawis. 10:54 Why? 10:55 Because they believe, وَنَوْزُ بِاللَّهِ وَنَوْزُ بِاللَّهِ that Sayyiduna Ali radiallahu anhu is Allah Ta'ala. 11:06 Ali radiallahu anhu, according to their belief, filthy belief, they are the worst type of mushrik. 11:15 You must not be fooled by the Shi'i. 11:19 That is also like a type of Muslim. 11:23 The Iranian Shias are what you call Twelver Shias. 11:27 Ifna Asharia Shias. 11:29 They are not believers. 11:32 These Nusayris, they are Mushriks. 11:35 They are idolaters. 11:39 We don't have time to go into all their beliefs. 11:42 But just for you to understand what they believe in. 11:45 They believe Sayyidina Ali radiallahu anhu is Allah Ta'ala wa Nauzubillah. 11:50 They believe that Ali radiallahu anhu created Nabi Akhirin sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. 11:54 So they give Ali radiallahu anhu a higher maqam than even Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. 12:01 So you can imagine from there where their thought processes are going. 12:07 So anyway when these French came and they realized that these people are not Muslim. 12:13 And they realized that these people can be used against Muslims. 12:19 This is not from today. 12:21 See the problem is we don't read our history. 12:25 The Persians of Iraq that time, that region, Iraq, Iran, this was the Persian stronghold. 12:34 The Persians were there, right? 12:36 They were the superpower at that time. 12:39 What they did on their borders is they entered into alliances with Arab tribes and put them on the borders. 12:48 That if there is any uprising amongst the Arabs, why must we dirty our hands? 12:52 These Arabs will take care of it. 12:55 Let the Arabs fight the Arabs and kill one another. 13:00 The same thing these people did. 13:01 When they realized we can't hold on to power, you must remember, like we've seen in South Africa, there is no minority in a country that can hold on to power for too long. 13:15 The majority of the country will eventually rise up and throw them out. 13:22 So these people, what they did in the meantime while they were in power, they realized that these Nusayris are not Muslims. 13:29 So they brought them into positions of power. 13:33 So they will use them to kill the true Muslims. 13:39 So eventually because these people were believing that Ali radiallahu anhu na'udhu billah is Allah. 13:45 So the French gave them that term titled them Alawis. 13:50 That's where the Alawis came from. 13:52 But they are Mushriks. 13:56 Now the question is 14:00 I don't know what to tell you, what to leave out. 14:03 So this Hafiz Asad, this Bashar Shaitan's father. 14:13 He came into power and who was, who backed him? 14:19 Was it Russia? 14:23 Iran. 14:26 The Shias of Iraq. 14:28 And Hezbollah. 14:30 Of Lebanon. 14:32 They were their battles. 14:34 Right up to now. 14:38 The suffering that the Sunni Muslim had to endure is something that if you read about it, you would think to yourself that how does a mind even think of these types of torture? 15:02 Now. 15:03 Now. 15:32 You ask yourself, what job Russia got there? 15:37 He is a communist. 15:39 What job he got here in Syria? 15:44 You ask yourself, what job does America have? 15:48 I mean, America got their own country. 15:51 They are wealthy people. 15:53 They are supposed to be a democracy. 15:56 Their name is getting spoiled around the world by them 16:01 Backing the Yahudi regime. 16:06 Is the Israelis. 16:08 Every time there is, you know, something passed in the UN which is in favor of the Palestinian Muslims, every country will be in agreement. 16:21 But because America has got vetoing powers, so America will veto it. 16:27 America will veto the resolution. 16:30 Time and time again. 16:33 Blinded support for Israel. 16:37 For the Yahudi regime. 16:40 Now you ask yourself, you've got such a powerful country. 16:43 This Palestine, which the Israelis call Israel, it may be the size of Qazir-ul-Natar. 16:52 Or maybe Gauteng province. 16:54 Something, it's a small place. 16:57 Right? 16:58 It's not a big place. 17:00 Why are you backing these people? 17:03 Why are you backing them all the time? 17:06 Russia, what you got to do with Syria? 17:08 Why are you coming and assisting this shaitani Assad regime to bomb these people? 17:16 See, we must understand something. 17:21 The fight in the world, you think is about how to make money. 17:26 You're busy fighting with your business partner and who's driving the better car and who's wearing the better clothes. 17:32 This is what Nabi al-Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam told us. 17:35 That you will compete with all these things and it will destroy you like it destroyed the people before you. 17:42 We forget our objective. 17:46 We are moving towards Qiyamah. 17:50 There are many things that's going to happen before Qiyamah. 17:53 And those things are going to happen on this land. 17:56 Birad-ush-Sham. 17:58 Where is Sayyiduna Isa a.s. going to come down? 18:05 Where is Dajjal going to be killed? 18:09 All this is going to happen in Birad-ush-Sham. 18:13 Right? 18:16 These kuffar rulers, superpowers, 18:22 Superpowers so called of the world. 18:25 Whether it's America, whether it's Russia, whether it's France. 18:31 All these countries, they power hungry. 18:37 They don't want to lose power. 18:39 So shaitan knows which carrot to dangle for them. 18:46 That you will 18:47 What ruse did shaitan use with Nabi Adam a.s. and Mahuwaa r.a? 18:56 The first deception of the devil was what? 19:01 He told him, see if you eat from the tree, you live forever. 19:07 You live forever. 19:10 Shaitan dangles the same carrot for these people. 19:15 You sacrifice for me. 19:16 You do this. 19:17 You do that. 19:18 I will be assisting you. 19:21 And you will have power forever. 19:24 Why do you think they want to create? 19:27 Why do you think there is so much of research going into medical things? 19:32 Stem cell and this. 19:34 How to recreate something. 19:37 How to bring something back. 19:38 Why do you think there's so much of research in all these things? 19:41 Because they are under the deception of the devil that we are eventually going to make a breakthrough how to create, how to bring back the dead to life. 19:51 What did Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam tell us about Dajjal? 19:54 What would he come and tell the people? 19:55 You don't believe I'm your God. 19:57 What if I bring your grandfather back? 20:01 So that technology will reach that point where a dead person will be brought back. 20:05 It will be a delusion. 20:07 The man will think a dead person came back. 20:09 Medicine will go on to such a degree that he will cut a person in half and join the person up and the man is walking alive with foot and healthy. 20:23 A lot of this is going to happen in Birad-ush-Sham. 20:27 These Yahud, these communists, 20:30 These Christians, they all know the truth. 20:34 They all know what is the truth. 20:36 But they are living in a deception of the devil. 20:39 وَمَا يَعِذُهُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ إِلَّا غُرُورًا They are living in the deception of the devil. 20:45 That if we have to kill these Muslims, we weaken the Muslims. 20:50 This is why Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wa sallam told us in the hadith sharifah. 20:54 If the whole world gets together and they have to be obedient to Allah Ta'ala, it doesn't increase Allah Ta'ala's grandeur and might at all. 21:02 If the whole world gets together and they make masiyat, it doesn't decrease Allah Ta'ala's grandeur and might at all. 21:07 Oh come upon. 21:10 So they are fighting that fight while you're sitting and playing with your cell phone. 21:17 You see. 21:17 They fighting that fight. 21:19 That we need to get this land. 21:21 There must be turmoil in this land. 21:23 There must be no place for Isa A.S. to come down. 21:28 We must have power here. 21:29 The Muslims must all be out. 21:31 Nobody will be able to kill Dajjal. 21:35 They live in those deceptions. 21:40 They fool us. 21:42 That no, no, no. 21:43 America got nothing to do with this. 21:46 They all won. 21:48 They all fighting the same battle. 21:49 They all got the same greed. 21:55 But we mu'mineen are in our slumber. 21:57 We are in our sleep. 22:02 So that's their interest in those lands. 22:07 And they use these Shiites in the front. 22:11 They don't want to mess their hands. 22:12 They will help. 22:13 You know somebody told me in the website you get the front end and the back end. 22:22 When you have a website you get the front end. 22:24 That's what the users look at. 22:26 The page. 22:27 And then you get the back end. 22:29 What's happening in the back end? 22:32 That now the host they'll know what's happening in the back end. 22:39 So front end you will see something and back end something else is happening. 22:47 So this Hafiz al-Assad he came into power in the 1970-1971. 22:56 From the year 2000 his son took over because Hafiz al-Assad died. 23:03 Dispatched to Jannah. 23:05 So his son took over. 23:07 And all along they were oppressing you. 23:10 I don't have the time to tell you. 23:11 You go and research it and see what zulm they were making on the Sunni Muslims. 23:17 But there was always a group of mu'mineen or groups of mu'mineen that remained firm on jihad. 23:27 They were being persecuted. 23:29 Everything was happening to them. 23:34 But their iman was strong. 23:37 They had hope in Allah Ta'ala. 23:39 And they remained with istiqamat. 23:42 Some of them spent over 40 years in prison. 23:49 Over 40 years in prison for no crime. 23:55 And eventually Allah Ta'ala brought the day when the Russians they are too involved in Ukraine and 24:06 Iran has his own worries. 24:10 So they all backed off a little bit. 24:12 And they thought, no, this Bashar got things covered. 24:16 The Mujahideen, they were vigilant. 24:21 As soon as they saw this weakness, Allah Ta'ala inspired them. 24:25 That now is your time. 24:27 And in a span of a week, in a span of a week, they propelled the entire region. 24:38 Bashar had to put his tail between his legs and run away. 24:41 And where did he run to? 24:43 Russia. 24:46 So people always remember a Shia is not a Muslim. 24:52 A Shia is a worst enemy of Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaah. 24:59 A Shia commits atrocities worse than anyone else. 25:09 They commit such atrocities that the mind cannot fathom. 25:16 But Allah Ta'ala has toppled this regime and Allah Ta'ala has brought now these mujahideen into power and it is our dua that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala give them the tawfiq to establish Sharia law. 25:31 They must establish the Sharia. 25:35 They must not be fooled 25:37 And go for democracies and all those things. 25:40 You must establish the sharif. 25:43 There is so much more that I wanted to tell you. 25:48 In fact, what I prepared, I didn't even start with. 25:52 But I wanted to tell you that I didn't tell you. 25:56 Hadith sharif I wanted to discuss. 25:58 That too I didn't touch it. 26:01 But the short hadith sharif that we read 26:04 In the beginning of the talk, I will just give you the translation of that hadith sharif. 26:10 Imran bin Hussain radiallahu anhu, he mentioned that Nabi Akkareem sallallahu alayhi wasallam said, that a group from my ummah will always remain fighting on haqq. 26:24 And they will overcome anyone who opposes them. 26:29 Until the last of them will fight Ganjarah. 26:37 Nabi al-Garim sallallahu alayhi wasallam mentioned that in the end of times, the Ummah will be in three groups. 26:45 Three armies of the Ummah. 26:48 But they will be coordinated. 26:51 One will be in Iraq. 26:53 One will be in Yemen. 26:54 One will be in Sham. 26:58 The Sahabi, who is the narrator, he asked Huzoor al-Baq sallallahu alayhi wasallam, Dajjal Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam, if I have to witness that time. 27:07 Then where must I go? 27:10 In other words, which army I must join? 27:13 Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wa sallam told him, go to Shah. 27:19 But then Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam told him that if you refuse, you don't want to go to Shah, then you can go to Yemen. 27:28 The door of explanation to these hadith. 27:31 Allah Ta'ala give us tawfiq one day to understand it and also to explain it. 27:38 Wa akhiru ila wala alhamdulillahi wa barakatuh.
