Was when our Prophet was fleeing from Makkah to Medina and the Quraysh were in hot pursuit. He didn't have any armies.

He didn't have a large legion of protectors. He didn't have even 10-20 people to surround him.

Just him and Abu Bakr al-Suddiq and they went into the car of Thawr and the Quraysh were literally outside.

And Abu Bakr al-RadiAllah began strumbling. Ya RasulAllah, if they just look down, they will see us.

And what did the Prophet al-Salam say? Allah recorded it. It is in the Qur'an this episode of the Syirah is so important.

It is recorded in vivid detail in the Qur'an itself.

When the Prophet salallahu alayhi was salam told his companion, don't worry. Allah is with us.

Don't worry. Allah is with us. Dear Muslims, this is our slogan.

This is our motto. This is the kelima that we say. Whenever we're faced with stress, we say,

we're not going to get worried. We're not going to get sad. We're not going to get scared.

How can we get scared when Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is with us?

And I began my talk today with this incident. Simply because frankly, we live in times that sometimes

are very depressing. We're witnessing a long list of tragedies, internal and external, domestic and international.

Civil war and so many Muslim lands, refugees here and there, the persecution of the weakers, Kashmir and Palestine, for Allah knows how long.

Islamophobia within our own ranks. So let us put everything into perspective.

As long as we have Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, then everything else is secondary.

As long as our connection with Allah is strong, then insha Allah wa ta'ala, things are going to turn out for the best.

If not in our lifetimes, eventually they will turn out.

So remember this slogan from this era.

Don't be depressing. Look at the bright side. Don't look at the negative. Consider the positives and know that you can do something.

Now I know that I'm coming at the end of a very long conference.
