1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,129
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

2
00:00:04,129 --> 00:00:07,129
We are a sun that never sets.

3
00:00:07,129 --> 00:00:10,130
Should the caller summon us, we respond.

4
00:00:10,130 --> 00:00:14,130
We shall restore the stolen right.

5
00:00:14,130 --> 00:00:17,129
We shall grant victory to the beloved Al-Aqsa.

6
00:00:17,129 --> 00:00:20,129
Within it, the best of creation prayed.

7
00:00:20,129 --> 00:00:24,129
Truly, it is an excellent place of prayer.

8
00:00:24,129 --> 00:00:28,129
An excellent place of prayer.

9
00:00:28,129 --> 00:00:38,890
What is the fulcrum of conflict in the world?

10
00:00:38,890 --> 00:00:41,890
There is a pivotal fulcrum.

11
00:00:41,890 --> 00:00:45,890
Around which the struggle between truth and falsehood revolves.

12
00:00:45,890 --> 00:00:49,890
It is a focal point of attraction and the center of attention for all powers.

13
00:00:49,890 --> 00:00:53,049
Ever since Allah created the world.

14
00:00:53,049 --> 00:00:57,049
And according to the study of history and the course of events.

15
00:00:57,049 --> 00:01:01,049
The city of Jerusalem, in the blessed land of Palestine, is considered.

16
00:01:01,049 --> 00:01:07,049
The core, the axis, the title, the compass, and the origin of the struggle between truth and falsehood.

17
00:01:07,049 --> 00:01:10,459
Through the study of history.

18
00:01:10,459 --> 00:01:13,459
We arrive at a conclusion.

19
00:01:13,459 --> 00:01:19,459
That Al-Aqsa Mosque is always under the rule and control of the world's superpower.

20
00:01:19,459 --> 00:01:23,459
Regardless of whether that power is righteous or unjust.

21
00:01:23,459 --> 00:01:25,459
And the reverse is entirely true.

22
00:01:25,459 --> 00:01:30,459
For the power and state that controls it, as a foregone conclusion.

23
00:01:30,459 --> 00:01:37,459
Is the one that is supreme and in control of the world's fundamental processes and pillars.

24
00:01:37,459 --> 00:01:38,530
Therefore.

25
00:01:38,530 --> 00:01:43,530
If the Ummah of Islam wishes to reclaim its sanctities.

26
00:01:43,530 --> 00:01:46,530
It must become a formidable force.

27
00:01:46,530 --> 00:01:50,530
An Ummah strong in its religion and creed.

28
00:01:50,530 --> 00:01:53,620
And in its sovereignty and status.

29
00:01:53,620 --> 00:01:56,620
If we take a historical glimpse.

30
00:01:56,620 --> 00:02:01,620
And pause briefly at some important, pivotal milestones.

31
00:02:01,620 --> 00:02:06,620
We will find that this spot possesses an ancient historical status.

32
00:02:06,620 --> 00:02:10,659
In addition to its religious significance.

33
00:02:10,659 --> 00:02:13,659
It is one of the oldest cities in history.

34
00:02:13,659 --> 00:02:18,819
And the most exposed to raids, destruction, demolition, and burning.

35
00:02:18,819 --> 00:02:23,819
It has been subjected to complete destruction more than eighteen times.

36
00:02:23,819 --> 00:02:25,819
Only to be rebuilt again.

37
00:02:25,819 --> 00:02:29,979
The first to inhabit this city were the Jebusites.

38
00:02:29,979 --> 00:02:36,979
From the Canaanite Arabs who descended from the Arabian Peninsula.

39
00:02:36,979 --> 00:02:41,979
That is why one of its oldest names, Jebus, is attributed to them.

40
00:02:41,979 --> 00:02:47,039
Historians have mentioned that the Children of Israel migrated in the year.

41
00:02:47,039 --> 00:02:51,039
1189 B.C.

42
00:02:51,039 --> 00:02:55,039
From the city of Jericho to Jerusalem.

43
00:02:55,039 --> 00:02:58,039
And there was no city they passed through.

44
00:02:58,039 --> 00:03:03,039
But that they ruined and burned, then seized.

45
00:03:03,039 --> 00:03:05,099
After a period of time.

46
00:03:05,099 --> 00:03:11,099
Hostile and occupying campaigns followed in that city.

47
00:03:11,099 --> 00:03:16,099
Including the Persians and the Assyrian King Sennacherib.

48
00:03:16,099 --> 00:03:20,169
Then, after the Jews seized it and spread corruption therein.

49
00:03:20,169 --> 00:03:28,169
Allah, Blessed and Exalted be He, made their arrogance and corruption a sign of their downfall and the end of their state.

50
00:03:28,169 --> 00:03:33,259
So Allah empowered the Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar against them.

51
00:03:33,259 --> 00:03:41,259
He took them captive and killed a large number of them in 586 B.C.

52
00:03:41,259 --> 00:03:44,259
And destroyed Jerusalem.

53
00:03:44,259 --> 00:03:46,259
Fifty years later.

54
00:03:46,259 --> 00:03:51,259
The Persian King Cyrus returned them to Jerusalem.

55
00:03:51,259 --> 00:03:57,259
And they lived for nearly two decades under Persian control.

56
00:03:57,259 --> 00:04:00,259
In the year 79 A.D.

57
00:04:00,259 --> 00:04:05,259
Historians mention that the city of Jerusalem witnessed bloody events.

58
00:04:05,259 --> 00:04:09,389
For the Roman butcher Titus besieged it.

59
00:04:09,389 --> 00:04:13,389
Until thousands of its inhabitants perished from hunger.

60
00:04:13,389 --> 00:04:16,389
And the killing continued for months.

61
00:04:16,389 --> 00:04:21,459
Until the number of dead was estimated at half a million people.

62
00:04:21,459 --> 00:04:27,459
Thus, the conflict between the world's superpowers and empires continues.

63
00:04:27,459 --> 00:04:29,459
On the soil of that land.

64
00:04:29,459 --> 00:04:32,459
Until Christianity spread there.

65
00:04:32,459 --> 00:04:36,459
After Emperor Constantine abandoned paganism.

66
00:04:36,459 --> 00:04:38,459
And embraced Christianity.

67
00:04:38,459 --> 00:04:41,459
In the fourth century A.D.

68
00:04:41,459 --> 00:04:45,620
It remained as such until it was conquered by 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with him.

69
00:04:45,620 --> 00:04:48,620
In the year 15 A.H.

70
00:04:48,620 --> 00:04:52,620
637 A.D.

71
00:04:52,620 --> 00:04:56,620
For the first time, its people welcomed the conqueror.

72
00:04:56,620 --> 00:04:59,620
And not a single drop of blood was shed.

73
00:04:59,620 --> 00:05:02,620
By the testimony of enemy historians.

74
00:05:02,620 --> 00:05:06,740
And thus, the Christians lived in safety and peace.

75
00:05:06,740 --> 00:05:09,740
Under the shadow of the Islamic state.

76
00:05:09,740 --> 00:05:12,740
Until it weakened and the Crusaders violated it.

77
00:05:12,740 --> 00:05:17,740
And occupied it in the year 492 A.H.

78
00:05:17,740 --> 00:05:22,740
They killed a great multitude of scholars, ascetics, and worshippers.

79
00:05:22,740 --> 00:05:24,740
As well as women and children.

80
00:05:24,740 --> 00:05:26,740
Exceeding seventy thousand.

81
00:05:26,740 --> 00:05:30,899
It remained as such until it was liberated by Saladin.

82
00:05:30,899 --> 00:05:34,899
In the year 583 A.H.

83
00:05:34,899 --> 00:05:38,899
Yet his conduct differed from theirs.

84
00:05:38,899 --> 00:05:42,899
For he was full of pardon, forgiveness, forbearance, and generosity.

85
00:05:42,899 --> 00:05:46,129
Ibn Kathir, may Allah have mercy on him, said.

86
00:05:46,129 --> 00:05:49,129
The Sultan—meaning Saladin—released.

87
00:05:49,129 --> 00:05:52,129
A multitude of them, including the daughters of kings.

88
00:05:52,129 --> 00:05:57,129
Along with the women, children, and men who were with them.

89
00:05:57,129 --> 00:06:00,129
And forgiveness was granted to many of them.

90
00:06:00,129 --> 00:06:03,129
And he interceded for many people.

91
00:06:03,129 --> 00:06:05,129
So he pardoned them.

92
00:06:05,129 --> 00:06:10,129
The Sultan distributed all the gold he had seized from them among the army.

93
00:06:10,129 --> 00:06:15,129
And kept nothing of it for himself to hoard or save.

94
00:06:15,129 --> 00:06:18,129
He was, may Allah have mercy on him, forbearing and generous.

95
00:06:18,129 --> 00:06:21,129
Bold, courageous, and merciful.

96
00:06:21,129 --> 00:06:25,449
Palestine remained thus in the hands of the Muslims.

97
00:06:25,449 --> 00:06:28,449
Until the outbreak of the First World War.

98
00:06:28,449 --> 00:06:34,449
When Britain occupied it in 1919 A.D.

99
00:06:34,449 --> 00:06:37,449
The Jews found a suitable opportunity.

100
00:06:37,449 --> 00:06:43,449
Until they established their state in 1948 A.D.

101
00:06:43,449 --> 00:06:46,449
On most of the land of Palestine.

102
00:06:46,449 --> 00:06:53,449
And completed the occupation of Jerusalem in 1967 A.D.

103
00:06:53,449 --> 00:06:57,639
And thus the struggle between truth and falsehood remains.

104
00:06:57,639 --> 00:06:59,639
Between the major powers.

105
00:06:59,639 --> 00:07:01,639
Revolving around Al-Aqsa Mosque.

106
00:07:01,639 --> 00:07:04,639
In Jerusalem and Palestine.

107
00:07:04,639 --> 00:07:08,639
Until the end of time and the appearance of the Dajjal.

108
00:07:08,639 --> 00:07:14,639
Who is the greatest trial on the face of the earth since Adam, peace be upon him, was created.

109
00:07:14,639 --> 00:07:18,670
He will emerge from the East, from Khurasan.

110
00:07:18,670 --> 00:07:20,670
Passing through Isfahan.

111
00:07:20,670 --> 00:07:24,670
Entering the peninsula between the Levant and Iraq.

112
00:07:24,670 --> 00:07:26,670
Heading toward Medina.

113
00:07:26,670 --> 00:07:30,670
Accompanied by seventy thousand Jews from Isfahan.

114
00:07:30,670 --> 00:07:32,829
Then 'Isa (Jesus), peace be upon him, will descend.

115
00:07:32,829 --> 00:07:34,829
The Messiah of Truth.

116
00:07:34,829 --> 00:07:36,959
He will overtake the Dajjal.

117
00:07:36,959 --> 00:07:38,959
The Messiah of Misguidance.

118
00:07:38,959 --> 00:07:42,959
He will overtake him at the gate of Ludd.

119
00:07:42,959 --> 00:07:43,959
And kill him.

120
00:07:43,959 --> 00:07:45,959
Then Allah will defeat the Jews.

121
00:07:45,959 --> 00:07:52,959
So that nothing of what Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, has created will be able to hide a Jew.

122
00:07:52,959 --> 00:07:55,959
Except that Allah will make that thing speak.

123
00:07:55,959 --> 00:07:57,959
Neither stone nor tree.

124
00:07:57,959 --> 00:08:00,959
Nor wall nor beast.

125
00:08:00,959 --> 00:08:02,959
Except for the Gharqad tree.

126
00:08:02,959 --> 00:08:05,959
For it is one of their trees and will not speak.

127
00:08:05,959 --> 00:08:07,959
But it will say.

128
00:08:07,959 --> 00:08:09,959
"O servant of Allah, O Muslim."

129
00:08:09,959 --> 00:08:13,959
"This is a Jew, so come and kill him."

130
00:08:13,959 --> 00:08:17,089
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, says.

131
00:08:17,089 --> 00:08:22,089
"A group of my Ummah will continue to fight for the truth."

132
00:08:22,089 --> 00:08:25,089
"Prevailing over those who oppose them."

133
00:08:25,089 --> 00:08:29,089
"Until the last of them fights the Dajjal."

134
00:08:29,089 --> 00:08:32,309
After that, Gog and Magog will emerge.

135
00:08:32,309 --> 00:08:35,309
And they will reach Palestine.

136
00:08:35,309 --> 00:08:39,309
While 'Isa, peace be upon him, and the believers with him.

137
00:08:39,309 --> 00:08:41,309
Will be withdrawn to the mountain.

138
00:08:41,309 --> 00:08:44,340
Then 'Isa, peace be upon him, will call upon his Lord.

139
00:08:44,340 --> 00:08:47,340
To save them from their evil.

140
00:08:47,340 --> 00:08:51,340
So Allah will send upon them worms called *an-naghaf*.

141
00:08:51,340 --> 00:08:53,340
And they will all perish.

142
00:08:53,340 --> 00:08:55,340
Dying as one man would die.

143
00:08:55,340 --> 00:09:00,409
Then 'Isa, peace be upon him, will beseech Allah, Blessed and Exalted be He.

144
00:09:00,409 --> 00:09:05,500
And pray to Him to rid them of these stinking corpses.

145
00:09:05,500 --> 00:09:10,500
So Allah, Blessed and Exalted be He, will send birds like the necks of camels.

146
00:09:10,500 --> 00:09:14,600
They will carry them and cast them wherever Allah wills.

147
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:18,600
Then Allah will send a heavy rain that will wash the earth.

148
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,659
Until it leaves it like a mirror.

149
00:09:21,659 --> 00:09:25,659
Then 'Isa, peace be upon him, will remain on earth for years.

150
00:09:25,659 --> 00:09:27,659
The earth will bring forth its blessings.

151
00:09:27,659 --> 00:09:31,659
And affection, love, and kindness will prevail.

152
00:09:31,659 --> 00:09:34,659
And brotherhood among all people.

153
00:09:34,659 --> 00:09:38,659
Until there remains no enmity or grudge between any two.

154
00:09:38,659 --> 00:09:41,659
Nor hostility or hatred.

155
00:09:41,659 --> 00:09:45,730
That is why the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said.

156
00:09:45,730 --> 00:09:48,730
"Blessed is the life after the Messiah."

157
00:09:48,730 --> 00:09:51,730
"The sky will be permitted to rain."

158
00:09:51,730 --> 00:09:54,730
"And the earth will be permitted to grow vegetation."

159
00:09:54,730 --> 00:09:58,730
"Even if you cast your seed on a rock, it would grow."

160
00:09:58,730 --> 00:10:02,730
"A man will pass by a lion and it will not harm him."

161
00:10:02,730 --> 00:10:05,730
"And he will step on a snake and it will not harm him."

162
00:10:05,730 --> 00:10:09,730
"There will be no mutual hatred, no envy, and no malice."

163
00:10:09,730 --> 00:10:16,340
This contains an indication that the struggle between truth and falsehood.

164
00:10:16,340 --> 00:10:21,340
Will have its page folded and will end on the face of the earth in Palestine.

165
00:10:21,340 --> 00:10:24,820
An excellent place of prayer.

166
00:10:24,820 --> 00:10:27,820
We are a sun that never sets.

167
00:10:27,820 --> 00:10:30,820
Should the caller summon us, we respond.

168
00:10:30,820 --> 00:10:33,820
We shall restore the stolen right.

169
00:10:33,820 --> 00:10:36,820
We shall grant victory to the beloved Al-Aqsa.

170
00:10:36,820 --> 00:10:40,820
Within it, the best of creation prayed.

171
00:10:40,820 --> 00:10:43,820
Truly, it is an excellent place of prayer.

172
00:10:43,820 --> 00:10:46,820
The landing place of the Trustworthy Revelation.

173
00:10:46,820 --> 00:10:49,820
The place of mission for the Messengers.

174
00:10:49,820 --> 00:10:52,820
The Qibla for the Muslims.
