My dear brothers and sisters in Islam,

as we speak, there is an international crisis going on that we are all painfully familiar with and seeing day by day it is getting worse and worse

And that is the crisis of refugees trying to find their way to safer lands, better homes, fleeing on the worst of

conditions, on boats that Wallahi we would not even put animals onto to and they are being shoved in by the dozens

by the hundreds even though perhaps only it can only take one third of that and

yet because of what's happening so many people are fleeing these lands.

And yesterday there was a tragic case as well

of almost 70 people suffocating to death

in a van because they didn't have air to breathe.

Well, a lot, brothers and sisters, our hearts tremble when we think of such incidents.

Innocent women and children.

Pictures are found on the internet of bodies of babies.

Today I saw one with a diaper on still.

That's how young the baby was.

Washed up dead onto the shores of Greece.

Well, a lot, brothers and sisters, words, I don't know what to say because it's so painful

for any parent to see, to see the father who is crying, holding onto his

little daughter as they land on the shores. To see a dignified man begging on the

streets holding on to his son or daughter.

Wallahahid these are very painful images and to realize that these are our brothers and

sisters in faith. Even in humanity doesn't matter what their religion is but it makes it even more so
