de la masala was added on optika with a Sunni come Mohammed Ali. He was happy he had my back. Well praise to do to allow a lot of the world's and surely Allah is the friend and protector of the righteous. And I be a witness of Allah is one and has no purpose that Mohammed Abdullah is a servant and his last message. May Allah always constantly send peace and blessings to Mohammed to his companions to his family to all those who call to his way and establish his Sunnah to the Day of Judgment. As to what follows my beloved brothers and sisters. I begin with the greeting words of the righteous. Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullah.
Hunter live is a great privilege to be here with you. And I want to bring you sellouts from your brothers and sisters in the deep south. in Cape Town in the furthest point
in the African continent.
People call diamond thunder, like Australia is considered to be down under, we'll go into the sub, and then they're going into the winter.
So it's the other side of the planet. And so I'm bringing celebs from the people there and feeling feelings of solidarity. And it is a great privilege that I am able to be with Muslims in different parts of the world.
This is another example of the
importance of the words of the Prophet Muhammad so seldom, who did not speak from himself. In these times that we are living in today, it is extremely important for us to go back to our foundations. Go back to the book of Allah subhanaw taala. Go back to the Messenger of Allah peace be upon him. And then you can find something that you can grip hold on to.
The times we are living in a confusing times, for many young people, those who embrace this now
and they watch the television, they look at the media, they see a negative image being painted about Islam and Muslims. And they wonder about what the actual situation is in the world. When they traveled to different parts of the world. They see there are so many Muslims and they see positive things but there is an image being projected. That is a negative one.
The Prophet Sal Silva did not speak for himself.
And in an authentic hadith reported it of
the Prophet peace be upon him was reported to have said yaku fiachra is a man kept the boon
to local men, Allah De Lima tessmer went to bat
for Yakumo,
Luna, what are you 15 in
the process of selling themselves, they will come near the end of time, great liars,
unbelievable lines. And they will come to you with a type of speech that neither you, nor your parents have ever heard of before.
You've never heard of this speech before. Then the Prophet said, beware of them.
Be aware that they take you astray. And be aware that they put you into a fitness.
And a fitness is a trial. It's a test. It's a tribulation, it's a confusion, a gray area, you're not sure which way to go. And South Dakota Sugata alayhi salatu salam, it has come to pass digital technology,
the age that we are living in now, human beings have the ability to make what is real, seen false, and make what is false see real, they can take my picture, they can take me and they can put words in my mouth. And they can make it look as though I said and I didn't even say it. They can talk to the picture. They can talk to the words. And then they send the tape tile, Jazeera or something. And suddenly I said something that I didn't say,
the Prophet did not speak from himself. They will come to you with a type of speech that neither you nor your parents have ever heard of before. Definitely.
We have to try constantly, to grip our reality, to talk to each other, to try to find out from our own sources, what is happening in the world, and then to connect that
with the Prophet peace be upon him to see what he would have done in the times of darkness. What would he have done in a crisis where you felt a lot of pressure. He felt that people were saying things about him and his companions that were not
part of the reality
that we are recognizing those of us who have been blessed to travel
to visit Muslims at different places. Islam is now rising out of the amazing rate. What is happening now is unprecedented in our history. I recently was in Australia, and they're in Australia, the chief of an Aboriginal tribe in the city of Melbourne came to us. They are the original people who lived in Australia, and they are embracing Islam. The Barbary people known in New Zealand are also embracing, embracing Islam. There are people in Greece and pull that in Norway, in Sweden, in places that we never thought possible.
Embracing Islam
Why does it skipped right here in Canada. We have information now and we are
getting calls from Inuvik to the north of you. And it covered in the number of that province that the Inuit people are embracing Islam as well.
This is a change.
This is a change. And recently, we had some Muslims in Toronto from France.
You know, the French Muslims are under tremendous pressure. They won't let you wear the veil, they won't. They don't even want to cover their hair. They pressurize Muslim so much to live in France, and we tried to see why would they be pressurizing Muslims? Why are they afraid of Muslims who are praying? They're fasting. When they practice Islam, they stop taking drugs, they start robbing stores,
they become honest, what are you afraid of? The reality is in France right now. 30% 30% of children of people under 20 years old, are Muslims. One in every three in France, in Paris embassy, to large cities, 45% of the people under 20 years old, are Muslims 45%. In Belgium, in Holland,
they looked at the hospitals. And they did a census at a hospital, they found that 50% of the babies born in Holland and Belgium are Muslims 50%, one out of every two children born in the hospitals in Belgium, and then hold also, we find that in the UK,
just a few decades ago, 30 years ago, the population of Muslims was about 82,000. Now it's 2.5 million.
That's 30 years 2.5 million. Germany, Muslims are 16%, Russia, Muslims are 20%. That's a good thing. Especially for those who believe in God.
Those who respect Jesus and Mary, they'll be pleased with them. That's a good thing for those who pray for those who fasts. But there is another element in society who are not happy.
They are not happy with this. Because the more people who embrace Islam means there are less people who will drink alcohol.
There are less people will be taken drugs.
There are less people who will be who will be involved in fornication and adultery.
There are less people who will go to the casino.
And so it can become a problem. The money will go down. So for this minority of people who are controlling many things in our society, it is not a good sign. And so they because they control the media, they also pressurize us and try to give a negative picture of a Muslim.
And some people said, Well, this is a difficult
Look, the names that they're communists, they say you fundamentalist, or they say you Islamists. They make up words every month.
They put new words and make up things and try to make movies and they had a whole set of movies
where
the bad guys became the Muslims.
This is a brainwashing program, in order to put fear in the hearts of the people,
to be afraid to accept the very way of life that will save them
will save them from polytheism. save them from drugs, save them from alcoholism, save them from racism and confusion.
And so in this difficult situation, this is the time when the companions of the Prophet SAW Selim, they would seek refuge in their Lord and they would on earth they would go to the profits of itself to represent the tip of philosophy.
Especially when the times get difficult. And when we go back to the early meccan period, we find a very similar situation as today.
It is reported that in the early meccan period, Muslims are being tortured and being killed and chased out of their homes.
Prophet peace be upon and he continued given the message, he continued to go forward. And so they said, We need to do something against him.
Just like today,
we need to take up something to say about him. That will be a negative thing.
So that when people hear his name or they look at him, they'll turn the other way. So they went down to their daddy or the clubhouse near the Kaaba, and they have a meeting. This is what they would call today, a think tank, the situation roll.
And so they went into the think tank with one of the leaders outwardly.
And they went to our lead and they said, Okay, now we have to get a strategy against this man. What can we say?
And so they said to what the?
Maybe we can call him a cafe. Let's call him a cat. And a cat is like a wizard. It's like a male magician. The ones around the cobbler and whatnot. Very official is an official you call an English you say wizard.
Okay, so but then Waleed, although he was living in Germany via the Arabs love truth. They love to tell the truth.
They at least they have that quality. And
so our lead said no.
putting it into our words,
he's not a cat. He doesn't have the appearance of a cat. No, that's what they said. Okay, maybe we should say he is.
Let's say he's crazy. Normally also answer No, you cannot say that. Because he doesn't have the actions of a crazy person is calm.
The words that come out of him
is relaxed. That's not the right description. So they said, okay, maybe we should say he is shy. Let's say he is a poet.
But Waleed said no, because this thing that is reading, it's not sure it's not poetry, because the Arabs knew that poetry. And in those days, they would speak in poetry, where you have certain rhythm in your language. So you have poetry and prose. As we say, today, poetry is rhymes. And prose is like telling a story. The quote, ad is coming in rind. prose. nobody speaks like that.
You know, today you have amongst the young people, you know, the rappers they rap in America. They rap in all languages. Now, even they rap in Somali and Arabic And
everybody's trying to rap. What is the rap? a rapper is somebody. He keeps talking. And it's in rhythm, right? But usually, because it's difficult to do that he ends up saying some crazy things that don't make any sense.
But these words coming out of the profits on sell them. It made sense. It tells a story.
And it's in rhythm. We don't speak like this, so it's not poach. Then they said, Why don't we say he is Saha?
Let's say he's an evil magician.
And then Walid said, No, he's not. He doesn't like the fact that the robot is not like to blow and Nazi is not a magician. So they say, Okay, what are we going to say, finally, they agreed, we will call him site will call him a magician, because he breaks up families. And that is the chief occupation of the magician to separate husband from wife, parents from children. So let's call him the science or the word winners. And so the propaganda began to spread. And there are a number of individuals who were leading this from this group of people. There was one person who was one of the worst against the prophets himself. His name was, alas, even Iranian.
And this man would follow the Prophet peace be upon.
And as the promise of Southern was going to the different Arab tribes, when he finished he would say, This man is tough.
This man is useless is that
when you say this, an uptime means somebody who is cut off. It's a man who has no sons. He has no male offsprings. And in a tribal society like this, if you do not have males, who can fight for you, who can sing your praises, who represent you in their genealogy, then in a sense, you're cut off.
And so we spread this thing about the profit zone and this must have occurred. Rasulullah saw someone
It is a hurtful thing to say in the same way. It's hurtful thing when they accuse Muslims today of violence and genocide, hurting innocent people.
It hurts us, because we know this is not our religion.
We know that the main message of the Prophet Sal seldom was Ramadan and Allah mean he was a mercy for all of humanity, all of the worlds so it hurts us. And this must have hurt my soul so Salah when they called him this terrible name,
and it is reported that the prophet SAW Selim
is sleep woke up gibreel Nissan came to him and revealed a chapter, a mighty chapter of the book and he revealed this process on the Prophet smiled, informed his wife that you will have revealed to him or the villa, Tony Jean smilla rahmanir rahim in Tanaka Casa for suddenly little Pico one half in Shani Yakubu el avatar, Allah revealed
in NA, casa, Verily, We have given you, our cows,
we have given you an abundance, or suddenly there have become one.
So pray to your Lord and sacrifice in the Sharia, who is
the one who insults you, he will be cut off.
The Revelation of this chapter is a miracle. This is a standing miracle, which we are witnessing right now, up until today, it is the shortest chapter in the
10 words. And I can believe that most of you How many people here have memorized alfalfa, raise your hand.
Everybody nice. We're all for five of this chapter. Because when you want to make a fast salon, right, you do NASA can cause us to go up and down as fast as
they call it in some places.
This is the shortest chapter in the Corvette, but it is expanding and expanding and expanding and expanding and will continue to grow until the Day of Resurrection. How is this possible?
philosopher time will reveal verily we have given you our Casa
which has come to us in our traditions as a tree in Paradise, or as a river in paradise. And this river flows into the water in place to hold on the Day of Resurrection. Its liquid is white, the widest is milk, sweetest honey colder than ice. If you drink it once you'll never be thirsty again.
But also the Sahaba and the scholars looked at this word
alcohol saw the setup in the Arabic language means it is a
very romantic, it is a word that is what we call open ended.
It is careful that it is an abundance. It also means we have given you or Mohammed Salah Salah, we have given you an abundance.
We have given you something which is amazing, which will never stop what is the dedication? Number one, he was given Kelly Malala
and with this challenge, he was connected to Allah azza wa jal Creator of the heavens and the earth created you know now he was connected to an eternal force.
With this kellyboat that had his name as Muhammad Rasulullah saw so attached to it. He is then connected to the universe.
But he also had a geometry
that the people began to answer.
They began to follow him.
His companions began to spread. He left Mecca with a smaller number, it got larger and larger. By the time he died, he had over 100,000 people with him.
And it continued to spread within 100 years. Islam had spread all the way to China.
All the way on the other side, to the Atlantic Ocean,
far north to the caucasoid Mountains, deep south to this way
The coast, no other religion. No other way of life has ever spread that fast and has gone to so many different people. As this message given by this one person who started in Mecca by himself in the anti narco Council, are solely
trained to your vote
and sacrifice.
These companions are spread. We are people we have embraced this now.
We have never heard of him before. We don't speak Arabic.
We have no connection. There are some people now in the frozen wasteland, accepting Islam for a person who live in the desert and hardly even saw rain outside.
People will live in tropical jungles. It rains every single day.
They have no connection with him. But by the mercy of Allah azza wa jal, his companions are spreading every race, every nationality, every linguistic group, it is now reaching further places that have reached before in the Altai, narco Costa, was suddenly
even his name Muhammad.
Nobody had this name before. It was not used by the Arabs.
A recent study was done and they found that the name Mohamed it is the most popular name on Earth.
Because look at Muslims, how many people are called Julius Caesar?
Or Jesus Christ? Some Christians, the Spanish say, hey, Seuss, but very few people use that name. How many people call Alexander the Great.
But we named our son, Abdul Kareem Mohammed Abdul Karim.
Not certainly 100 songs. I had a friend from the Sudan. His name was Muhammad a tuba
he was allowed to kneel he was Egyptian. So there is
another person on his passport, because it has his grandfather, Muhammad Muhammad three.
So now this man whose name was not being used,
has the most popular name on the face of the planet Earth, but the person that insulted him, alas, anyway, how many people know this name of us?
Go monks, the Arabs and see
call the name amongst the scholars. The only time you would be connected with this name is the son Allah everlast. For his grandson, Abdullah he given up a bill.
That's the only way you know his name. But alas, is cut off. What did the first safe in a narco coaster for suddenly the rock bigger one Hmm. In nice, shiny, aka
the one who insulted you, he will be cut off. You see this. This is a miracle.
This is a miracle.
I want to take it a step further.
When the companions of the Prophet Sal seldom traveled to different lands, they did not come with conquering armies. They intermarried with the people. They benefited from the cultures of the people. And so the knowledge of the people became part of Islamic knowledge.
They benefited from the societies. And because we took the knowledge of the ancient ones, the ancient Egyptians, the ancient Phoenicians, the ancient Iraqi, Indian, Chinese, all types of people, and we gave it a tawheed ik
base, we were able to change the course of history. How can I say this?
In the period called the dark ages of Europe, this was actually the golden age of Islam. So when you count in numbers, zero is an Arabic word.
When you count 12345 that came to you to the Arabic language. When you study your math, algebra, this isn't trigonometry, calculus. All of this came from Muslims, the scientific methods,
the basis of our modern medicine.
The basis of the modern educational system came out of Muslims in the golden age of Islam who preserved
knowledge of the world and put it in a useful form that people could then redevelop their societies.
And so why did they do this? Where did they get the energy to do this, who started the movement that gave them the understanding it was the Prophet Muhammad sell, sell them in Kolkata for suddenly become one, the good part of this modern age, the positive part, you can relate it back to Muslims, and you will relate it back to wrestlers, or someone who is the one who gave them the direction and the code and came to him to us.
And so it is a standing miracle.
And this code and will continue to be a miracle until the Day of Resurrection, which is giving people direction in the way they should live. Right now, the world is in crisis. The younger generation is growing up in a world with violence, poverty, disease,
traditional values are being broken down.
They are growing up in a world that seems to be falling apart in this court, and there are answers for societies. Because the biggest problem of humanity is when they are cut off from their load.
We have the solution to this. We have the solution to many of the problems. You know, this is Thursday night. It's going into Friday. For many people in our non Muslim societies, when it gets near the weekend, the closer they get to Friday, the closer they get to the alcohol.
And when Friday comes, then they can have
and when they come together, it would be impossible to smile and enjoy unless you had something to drink.
How can you be enjoying yourself? How can you come on a Thursday night on a Friday night and you enjoy yourself and you smile? You're not Hi, you know what they found out recently?
A Canadian paper in Toronto has revealed that alcohol is worse on a human being than heroin and cocaine.
Alcohol does more damage to a person's life than heroin and cocaine.
But yet it is propagated to us on the media. It is coming to us an alcoholic has destroyed his body, destroyed his relationships, abuses his family, or she abuses her family, they get an accident on the highway. At least 25 people are affected by one alcohol.
We are living in an alcohol free a drug free society.
That is something that we need to give to the people of this world.
We are living in a society we will not exploiting each other's sexuality.
We're being taught not to judge people by the color of their skin.
We're being taught not to judge people because of their language for their passport.
Respect the human being because of their character, and not because of the money that they have. Or because of which country they come from. These are lessons that human beings need right now. What is our relationship with the environment. The prophets also showed us that we have a FIFA and the Khalifa is not a political term. The halifa is the representative of Allah subhanaw taala. That's what Muslims are supposed to be to take care of the environment to take care of the ills of society. And so our mission today, really, when the smoke clears, it is to give this final last testament to the people so that they will have a way to come out of this crisis that the world is in. We're in a
terrible crisis. We're in a monetary crisis.
If you have a chance to buy gold, buy gold.
Because your paper notes that you have in a short time won't be able to be defended be worthless. If there are some people saying within the next 10 years, we may even have a new currency called a metal
which is which is the peso the Mexican peso, the US dollar The Canadian Dollar, and if you have $100 Canadian will only be worth $1.
And if you don't want it, you have nothing.
So by have land, gold, our way is to have things which have value in themselves.
Not in the paper notes. I went to a country on $1 mission in the south of Africa is got Zim
Bob way, many of you might have heard of Zimbabwe. It's a beautiful country, despite what you hear debate is a beautiful country.
And the people are the most educated people in the southern region.
But because of a political situation, their currency, which was higher than the British pound, is now worthless. I went to Zimbabwe, and I have $100. And I said, Chief, this won't be brother, he came back with a bag of money. Like
I said, I'd like to have a cool drink. And they said, Give me 500,000 bucks.
The money is useless. Every time they printed, they got to put three more zeros. And then three more zeros. Because to the paper,
that money you're carrying is a promise that there is gold and silver in the bank, there is no longer gold and silver to equal the paper we have.
So you need to learn to back to the left, learn to plant food.
Many of our young people don't know what it's like the food the young people asked me with oranges, to oranges, I said I said the young brother, where's oranges come from? He said it comes from Metro, it comes from the supermarket.
So no bad oranges grow on trees.
plants.
So in conclusion,
we are in a beautiful situation.
We but we will feel a lot of pressure on us. We will feel a lot of pressure. But the prophet SAW sell them under that pressure is when he would shine.
And the loss has given us as as the ones who have inherited this message. He has given us an abundance. And so I leave you with these words that allow us to Magellan has revealed to us and given to us
Manny Rahim in our dynaco Council
in the shaliach.
And welcome
back in quick. May Allah subhanaw taala give us the benefit of what we heard. And Dr. Abdullah still has about seven minutes to go. But I think he's trying to prove me wrong.
Shama now will give the floor to Dr.
salatu salam ala rasulillah salam wa sallam
II.
And at the beginning, I would like to thank Dr.
de la Kim, one for honoring us for being here with us tonight. And I feel so humbled to speak after him. And thank all of you for coming tonight. I'm going to start with a story. One day we went for ombre.
And supposedly there was a young man who was refurbed. And he was crying next to the car.
And when we ask them, Why are you crying? Did you lose your money?
And this is part one, when when the shape was talking about the money has been paper. He looked at us and he
said, Did you lose your passport?
And he said no. So why are you crying?
He said, because I have been a Muslim for two weeks. And I've done nothing for this lab.
So we turned around to each other. And we started asking,
how old Have you been a Muslim?
And what did you do for Islam?
We're talking tonight about Java.
And when we speak about our you're one of two, that's what the scholar said. And imaginary way matter.
You either go or you will be called. Meaning Subhanallah look at me and you and we are alone at home.
And nobody can see you but Allah subhanaw taala and sometimes Allah the Most half will be right in front of you. And also next to it is the remote, the remote control of the TV. Which one would you pick? It's amazing. That's a problem. You go there to get the most have to read something. And then she would come in and say you're tired. You know, you know a lot of fluoride em. You just came back from work.
slept, get some rest, you know what, watch the DV, to see what is happening to the Muslim woman, you know how the time it's doing what they're doing
as the trick, so you want it to go to the prom. But if you don't have a strong image, I will call you. So at that moment, you have to stop and say you're
at least in one page of something.
But those are checked by shaitan they will go there. And in fact, when they turn on the TV, it's not going to be the news about the monster morning, it's going to be something else that you are watching right before you will be tricked. And this is why Allah, Allah told us in the Quran, that children, you know, told us that trick and we know that he's going to give a cookbook in Japan and melas it was all
about him. This is what the last paragraph tells us in the Quran.
Shave.
And shaytan was saying when the mothers decided this was the day of judgment, so people went to the lawmakers amongst them and some people will make it to the far
Okay, now, anybody from one person here
should be up.
Okay, so Allah subhanaw taala is saying, Look at this, we know this from now shaitan is telling us, Allah telling us this in the Quran.
In
so what is the message of prophets? It's the promise of truth.
If you become a servant to Allah, you will be successful in the dunya. And
this was going to happen to you. So the promise of Allah is true, believe it,
and submit to Allah.
But then say, Well, I
left to come. And I promised you, but I will never keep my promise.
But this next one.
I didn't have any authority over you. Except
I just called up when you do this. Follow me, I whispered. If you say
so you're either making drama,
or your desires, or the temptations of dystonia? You know, you have four enemies, would you like to throw them at the end of the show?
Now let's go to the next question. If I were to ask you, what are the best words ever?
You hear this every Friday from Seamus Mashallah from Dr. Cook inshallah. Remember, at the beginning of what do we say?
Anybody knows that?
I have candy here.
Bismillah Okay.
Yes.
What do we say
in
a circle howdy
kitayama. Ohio.
So when I asked this question, I'm going to take the candy because Okay, so now what are the what are the best words the words of Allah and this is why a
woman XML
the best words are the words that will be used by someone who would make down
no one else would be doing a better job than me. And a lot combine this with something very important where I need
to make data but it has to do righteous deeds. You practice what you preach. Will call in and even muslimeen Okay, who's claiming to be a Muslim? Raise your hand
one hand
two hands shaven. I wish I had four. Okay, so Allah subhana wa tada is telling us if you claim to be a Muslim, you have to make down and you have to do righteous deeds. Now who can tell me what is the best Omen
what is the best oma?
Yeah, the Omar Mohamed Salah. Is it simply because they belong to the oma
and we will hominids
how do we translate that love? It translates into
actions right? This is why look at the ayah
Allah subhanaw taala said
As a foster parent, Allah save us to the end of time. And he said, You were the best oma saved for all people. What are the criteria to be the best? Oh, that is the question. This is why,
whenever you three desire, he would say, but rather than failure, failure,
whoever wants to be the best, it has to apply and comply with the conditions first.
If the owner wants to go back, what do we need to do? Enjoy what's right, what's
what's wrong?
What do
you believe in a lot of Scots said, we're supposed to be believers, but it means that it means you have always to work to increase your event. And this is why we're here tonight. You want to know something more about your team. So don't be content with your level of demand. You have always to work on your event because I was in dire
need. Binney, what does it mean to increase your level of demand? Because it's not a man? And
because of that, sir, Mashallah. That's good. Now,
Allah subhanaw taala made a statement of the problem, he said,
we have not sent you but to all mankind.
We have not sent you but as mercy for the whole universe.
How come to all people and he died?
How How can he listen to the people who would be born tomorrow?
That was the message.
smile and say?
Who's gonna carry on the message?
Are we obligated to say something about this? That we should make them? Listen to this? Number 108.
Allah
Mohammed say to them, this is my way. What's the secret of the process? What's the
other Oh?
I invite people to the wave of massive parallel dialogue
based on knowledge, and our money Bharani I and also follow me who claims you have to be a follower.
If you raise your hand, you're obligated yourself to comply with this. So you have to make down
Can you give me proof from the Hadith? Yes.
Any one of
what do I share with people?
You know, teach them even one verse from the Koran. And they made the test and hamdullah we're all pastors right? Who knows is sort of delta
for first Mashallah.
Mashallah. So you can tell that I don't know. But you know, sometimes, again, shaitan will come to you and say,
You don't have a BA.
So don't make that. Right. And I'm going to ask you a question. When I
was invited to stand.
Only one week, he came back with five of those who had promised Jenna while they're still walking Earth. Amongst them is NASA sided Nabila
mouth. Can you tell me what degree did Abu Bakr have in one week? How much of the Quran was revealed at the time? Tell me how much how many is?
So again, this is a trick of shape.
Let me tell you something. Another story.
from Yemen.
We Allah subhanaw taala. Read the Yemenis from the Thailand say I mean,
this is an extra
I'm sorry.
Okay. One four harmony.
Okay. So forgive me inshallah. So again,
when he came,
they weren't him. They said, Listen, there is a man. If you listen to him, is like a magician. He will brainwashing and the man was the leader.
stripe. So these scared him so much so that he started putting cotton into his ears, not to listen to the processor. It's the same thing as the shampoo sharing with us. Islam has given a bad name everywhere. Look at the news.
And that happened also the time of the processor. And the man was so scared. But then, at some point while he was doing coffee said, How foolish are you to fight? You have the leader of your tribe, your wise man, you're afraid, everybody looks up to you. And you're scared to listen to a lie. God listen to him. If he's telling the truth, follow Him, if not just ignore them. So you went to the Prophet sallallahu sallam, and he said, Tell me something. And the brasilian recited some Quran and supposed to feel accepted.
And he said profitable luck. You know, give me a sign that I will take to my people.
And the person may talk to him. So there was a light in between his eyes is a prophet of Allah necktie that will, you know, that light will be my stick because people might think that like, you know, a man or something or something, I'm possessed or something. So porcelain made. And you know, the interesting
this was a to find it was one man.
He went back home to me.
And
many battles happen, but went and hung up. And when highborne was over, promising them so lots of us coming to the Medina and they asked us this is this is up to 500 oc bravely Oh, is trying from Yemen, accepting Islam. One man, the book all of us try. And guess what? At the very beginning, he felt frustrated like many of us, you go to the people and try to invite them and then turn you a different error blind on it's like, you know what? Take them to
their profile anyway.
Is this our attitude? No.
I call them to Islam. And nobody has something against them prophet of Allah and the Muslim, embrace this practice. Learn how to do that. When he raised his hands, everybody said
the person is gonna make them now and they're gonna be destroyed. The Basilan raised his hand. And he said, Allah Almighty doesn't work till he became Muslim. But Allah guide the hearts of doubt, and bring the Muslims Allah accepted the Torah. And after hybird all of them came, so make to have for people don't make that against them. I know there are some brothers now. You know, you know, when they start practicing Islam, I told you before, you know the way they look, they look like this. They give you the 100
smile.
One
word,
what does this have to do with you being frowning? The process of them was never seen from me, or angry except when I was disobeyed. In fact,
I had an adulterous woman.
I've never seen a smiling face more than the prophet SAW.
And then he told them, what do you make of her against your family and against your neighbors? Is it because no one is solemn? May
I say you're wrong? Do you know when did he make the allegations people?
How many years?
How many years 950 years? How many seconds did you make them in your life? How many minutes
and Allah subhanaw taala said
only a few people accepted Islam and Subhanallah you know there are different durations. The highest number I have seen that is 80 people divided 50. By 80. It means every 12 years, one person became a Muslim at the hands of
every 12 years, one person will accept Islam
yet he was patient.
Now when did he make to her agonism when
I said to him, no. No one is going to accept Islam anymore.
And this is why I said in Mecca
is all about those who fall because of us.
If you leave them who's gonna be the descendants likely to
catch on
so
Let's go on.
Somebody might say, we don't, I'm not gonna make that one. Until I have fully man, isn't this one of the tricks, doesn't check on culture and say, you know, when you become like, you know, the best Muslim ever, I'm gonna tell you one of two things, you're, you're one of two. Either this is not gonna happen until almost you're gonna die. So you will miss all your life because this oma
the average age is between 60 to 70.
Very few who passed, you know that age. And it's amazing that one woman at the time of she was crying, I know how they said, I'm asking her, why are you crying? So like, I lost my child. And he's very young.
He said, How old was he, when he died? She said 300 years.
And he said, What if you live, during the time that will come? When the average span of life will be 60 to 70, she's at work, there will come a time when the average span of life would be 60 to 71.
If I live to that time, and my life would be 60 to 70 years, I will spend the 60 to 70 years making sure to Allah subhanaw taala.
So invest to the lab before it's too late. So you're gonna have to enter your email will be complete, and nobody By the way, you can attend
almost at the time of death, and you will miss the chance to make that second. You might think at some point, I have fully learned and you look down upon others, and this is right.
And this is the first sin and entitlement, which I transferred to Allah subhanaw taala I'm better than Adam. And why was he being dragged? Wasn't because he achieved something? No, he said,
something even given to them is that you created me out of five
out of dust. So when you when you when you feel a bit achieved something, it should be something that you have done, but something even given to you.
So who would like gentlemen?
Now the two hands on
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
He said, one of the ways to generalize to make the automa
marinara, if Allah subhanaw taala were to use you to guide someone to Allah subhanaw taala it's better for you than the red candles and the red candles at the time. This was the best money ever, because I come in at the time was almost like $100,000 today. So basically we're saying the rent.
Give me the name, Porsche. Porsche. Shake was the latest. Ducati was always Okay. So now
this is
due to my fear, it's better for you than the whole universe and what's in it. Now would you like to learn from a woman?
That's the story that every time it brings tears to my eyes.
A woman by the name of homosalate when
the woman was married to a man, and then she converted to Islam. And somehow, when she converted to Islam, her husband was still a disbeliever. So when he came back home and he knew that she was a Muslim, he was so mad.
And her son is
so husband was manic.
So So Panama, he went out and he was so angry, and one of his enemies met him in the street and he killed him. So the woman became a widow. And here comes a very beautiful person in the community of Medina called avatar.
And he proposed to her said, I want to marry you.
And she told him about OSHA in Mecca
machine.
And our Prophet told us we cannot many animals.
And then he went away. And then he tried again he came back he said, if it is gold and silver, I can give you a lot.
She said let me tell you something about
what do you worship Amato? Why don't you worship the wood? that's made into a God by swan song? He said yes. And she said if the fire you know breaks into this world would it eat it? Is it is it is this wise. You worship gods that you make with your own hands and the mess in the shadow and in the world.
She said this is my daughter in gold and silver. And this is why they say this that we have a student here. The best door in this lab is the door to home. So they've been to my house because he thought he was going to gender she got
All husband to be a Muslim
who now cares about the assessments that they drink? Or if they don't pray, they don't do this and this.
Listen to another story of people who used to feel, you know, for the family members, and they cared about them have already alone came to the professor of law. Every time
I make my mother to accept this, then she would say bad things about you. Would you please make the hard for her?
Who can do this today, but take time to make time for his brother or sister not make against them.
And you know, when you make the offer someone the rough, Selim said, there's an angel who would say
and the same for you. You are making the demand, but the engine is making it for you. Which is better.
So Pamela,
knew that I was sincere. He meant to ISIS, Allah, Allah Almighty.
Allah, I went back home, my mother was taking a shower, when she said, Wait, and then she put over borders and shadow Illa Illa Illa was
the daughter of the Prophet. So
let me conclude.
Are you proud to be a Muslim today?
Was the dog just in
the q&a?
I would take it like no, because if you are here today, Michelle was
rude. One Time
went out
when he wanted to show when the Muslims were very few. And he went out to the cabin. And
he stood there. And he started reciting
continue sort of man. So they all gathered the machine. And they started beating him up into the Sahaba cave. And like they saved him before they would kill him. So while he was sewing, he said, You know what? We're gonna come and see you tomorrow.
I'm not saying to the brothers here to go out to the square and say, Hey, kofod we're gonna do this. And this? No, I'm saying he was proud. He was proud of his system. And
some people today change Muhammad, the best name ever to move on. Like,
they changed her son to son.
And father went to fame. And then it's a delicious, right. Okay.
Now,
my question is,
who's asking the sahaabah when he was the halifa, by the way, and this is very deep. He said, My goodness. Imagine He is known for what?
For his courage. He was asked the people around him when he was leaving, he said, Who is the bravest person in Islam? And everybody looked at him as if they're saying,
you
know, it's our book.
And then
they said, we're very few numbers.
And we came to the rustle and what he was standing by the cabin,
and he was trying to make the hour. And there were lots of people around him, somebody pushing him
down. And somebody pulling him, said, we're scared. And we ranted about it. And the only one
who went to defend the profits of a lot of them was abubaker.
He was not, you know, a fighter like
he's the best man in this room. He's the best man after all profits.
So he said to the people,
are you gonna kill a man simply because he said, My Lord is a man
had a push of a button.
And he pushed on his back, and he took off his shoes. And he started beating him up until his face, you know, was swollen to the degree you can see his nose from his eyes from his mouth.
And they took him back home. When they took him back home. He felt like he felt unconscious and everybody said he's dying. So power. The first moment he woke up, they were offering him something to eat or drink. He said, What happened to the profits?
What's his main concern?
So
let me conclude with another story.
Sometimes McDonald's doesn't accept on time.
So history is
different democracy again. So yes, yes, yes. Sometimes we make the if
you're going to take one of my candidates tonight, I'm happy to.
So what happens? Allah subhana wa Taala. So in the process, lm told us the reason, if Allah subhanaw taala doesn't accept our die, it's because we live down. He said,
Well, it's no wonder
you have to enjoy what's right and forbid what's wrong.
Otherwise, Allah subhanho wa Taala will punish you all.
And then you will make to add to him, and he will not answer if
there was a time when a whole village a whole city
was disobedient to Allah subhanaw taala. So the command of Allah subhana wa Taala, sent to Billy Sam to destroy that city. And this is the Edit I'm going to leave you with.
And when to be worn down, usually he will carry that city on the tip of one of his wings, I will turn it upside down.
He found a man who was making so cute and was crying and making.
So he went back to a mass appeal. And he said, in
amongst them, there is no Your servant, so and so. And he's like we can do and describe is looking to add you
start with him, destroy them first. In
this phase didn't turn right. Meaning he didn't get angry for my cousin. He only cares about himself. And this is why Allah subhana
wa
musli
Allah will never destroy the service.
While there are people there who are not only righteous,
but they combine what's right and what's wrong. It's not enough to be righteous. So basically, it means that you guide people towards right, and you forbid them from what's wrong.
And this is why so Panama. It's an amazing story that I heard on my way here that somebody was very poor. He saved some money
just to go and pay the fees to the doctor. And he was not sick.
So when he went to the doctor, the doctor asked him, he said, What's your problem? What are you suffering from? He said, Nothing. I just saved the money to come and ask you to save some time to pray because I love you for the sake of hope.
And the doctor started crying. And his Toba was at the hands of that man. Imagine somebody just saving the money to go to the doctor to pay him the face to see him and say, because I love you. And I know that you don't pray, please start praying. And that doctor is one of the best to hire now back home. When he shared that story hristova it's because somebody made that out to him in a very simple way. Very simple way. Another brother in law, he went all the way to Makkah to make Amara and he kept, you know, vitamins decision making to have one cry.
And when he was asked, Who is this person that are making tohatsu he said one of my close friends because he doesn't pray and he committed sins. And he said well, like I made the Amara only for him, just to make up for him. So when he came back, his friend in two weeks, start free and stop being a video intersperse. Can we do that? Yes, we can. Can we sacrifice our time? Can we be positive in our day our one liner was a very simple man who learned only doesn't have so much knowledge for those who say I'm gonna wait until I learn more and more to break down. He learned only what hadn't
killed him attorney happy
tequila attorney
Habib attorney
sapan Allah subhana wa la the two statements that you can make. They're very light when it comes to saying them when you're tired.
But they're very heavy on the scale.
And then he said they
very beloved to the most recent almost paradigm. So that man somehow wherever he goes, he goes to buy something you
can even have
your coffee paternalism. And
he goes to the doctor Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah. And what is like three teams gonna say? Can you make any superpower they said when he was dying will lie, it would pass out. And when he wakes up, the only thing he said, Kenny mitanni, coffee for Terry, and Alyssa.
inshallah, we'll open the floor for questions and answers. And before I see some heads, I'm going to share a very brief thought with you. The reason that the misconceptions and the stereotypes about Islam and Muslims are very common and persistent in today's media, is because Muslims are not doing enough. They're not doing enough.
And of course, the news channels they have a share and the blame. I've been studying Fox News for four years for my PhD. And I almost get a heart attack every time I see Bill O'Reilly, Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity speak about Islam and Muslims and they rarely invite the Muslim to speak for Islam and Muslims. Every time they want to speak about an issue related to Islam and Muslims they invite
a Christian evangelical to speak about Islam and Muslims and Buddhists plommer they invite Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck to speak for Islam and Muslims but they rarely environment Muslim to speak for Islam and Muslims. What was the last night we saw Dr. Abdullah Dr. Schiff you suggest this or any other Muslim to represent the Muslims
that I can think of.
The other thing is we have also a share in the blame, we're not doing enough. And I always say that Islam is a winning case. But we have bad attorneys, we have bad lawyers, and others they have a losing case a big time, but they have excellent attorneys. If we asked our youth here today, who of you wants to be a doctor? Raise your hands
the doctor who wants to be a doctor
Mashallah who wants to be an engineer or technician Mashallah who wants to study the field of media to present Muslims in the medium
you're saying this just to please me Don't make me happy you know.
We have more doctors in the Muslim community than patients and we have engineers that are more engineers than cars. But who are the Where are the Muslims who are present us and speak for our challenges and aspirations and pains in the medium? There are very few so we have to do something and this is my thought and forgive me if I just this is my my passion.
I want to see some hands shala will get a question from a brother
sister show
Okay, there is a book by Dr. Abdullah quick inshallah. Islamic revival 14 days of Islamic revival in two
dudes are available in DVDs, I see it as dude.
Two DVDs are available inshallah.
The DVDs were
finalists finalist in 2009 and 2010 and Jazeera documentary film contest.
It's a good Dao material to give to non Muslims inshallah.
Questions. Yeah, we'll start with the sister in the back.
Hello.
This week.
Yes. What we have to try to do
what the question is, is that there's a problem the system has, in, you know, not just the non Muslims of people in the faith, but as the Muslim is like what we used to call counter anti Islam and counter anti Islam is something given by the media against Islam. But counter Islam is when Muslims don't practice Islam. That's the worst form of Dawa, that there is. And so this causes a very big, but what we have to do is, you know, clearly separate Islam from Muslims, every faith, every way of life has practitioners, and people do not practice. And so if you don't make it clear to them, that, you know, the fact that the person is a Muslim, does not necessarily mean that they
live up to all of the standards of Islam, in most of our cities, I don't know about Edmonton, but in Cape Town, the biggest drug dealers in the city where Muslims, they came from Muslim families.
You know, so you will find, you know, that there are people who don't have Muslim names, but not necessarily practice. So, so try to, you know, very clearly separate Islam, from the practices, you know, of some Muslims, but keep going forward and keep being positive. JOHN,
I just have a quick comment on what you said.
In one of the, in one of the battles between the Muslims and the Persians back in the days, and the leader of the Muslims was undefendable, the Hierophant. And the Muslims were winning at the beginning. But gender was like a tribe in between.
And unfortunately, they betrayed the Muslims.
They're Muslims, but they betrayed the Muslims. So listen to this, I will
send them a message that consists of three words. And that's the message I'm sending myself and all the Muslims today. He said, learn to
lead
and Muslims meaning to not disgrace the Muslims. And the people once they heard the message, Panama email pumped in their hearts, and they were the reasons for the Muslims to win the battle.
written question for
that is it is if it is said that the prophets of Allah on SLM
will be a shaffir intercessor for the Muslims, does this include the Muslims who have lived and died in the length of the Kaffirs based on Dr. Ritter's lecture yesterday? What did I say yesterday?
Did I make a statement like that? Okay. Let me let me just come.
I mentioned last last night, when I showed you the stages of the eternal journey, meaning like from life shall lead to the end, in general, shall I say, I mean,
I said one of them is Shiva. And we said a Sephora is only for the Muslims. So we said the first stage is dunya this life in the life industry.
So the first stage is life. And then after the word your life, what happens to us share with me?
Second Stage
death. So the grave third stage.
I have to call my candy back. resurrection, right.
And then after that, we said there is
because the Day of Judgment, and he said will not start. You know, that would be a long day.
I think that's 50,000 years, people will be sweating, until they run out of water and they will be sweating blood.
So they will come close to all the profits one by one and they will start by item 20. See what's happening to us. You're the father of mankind. Don't you go to us and ask him for intercession is gonna say, I was commanded not to eat from the tree. So every and each one of the prophets will pass us to the next one, until it comes true. Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
and then he said the process lm said I
We'll go and make sure to eat underneath the panel. And I will be taught certain Serbians celebrations and praises of Allah subhanho wa Taala. And I will say them in my Institute and Allah is going to say to me, oh, Mohammed,
Mohammed, raise your head, ask and whatever you asked will be answered, if it's intercession, you're given it. And this is why, if you understand the drive to make After further along the
path
that's not permanent.
Is it fair enough?
You know, this position will be given to only one amongst one time and look at his humbleness, he said.
And I wish that I would be that person, and it is him. So the loved one is, according to hadisha, so the person is gonna say what are the first words is going to say, Almighty, Almighty, He cares about you? So if the sister or the brother is asking this question, if you want the intercession of the Prophet sallallahu wasallam, what you need to do is show that you love him by actions, and emulate him. So the intersection
is gonna be for his true human, those who claim to be his own. And today for the personal model, say, the length of the kuffar the length of the cover, let me tell you one thing, the land belongs to Allah subhana wa Tada. And tell me, and give me an example of one Muslim state, and I'm gonna immigrate to Russia.
Is that clear?
Is there a country in the world where Islam is applied as a way of life? So you know, no,
one will love him. So when that established we'll all immigrate inshallah, so the scholar said, Today, your issue and Muslim hifi are going
well,
meaning the Muslim should live today, when he can practice this thing, where he can obey Allah subhanaw taala. And he can show the fact that he's a Muslim. In fact, if you see the real world today, in non Muslim countries, you are given the freedom to speak, you are given the freedom to practice God, more than you are given the freedom in the so called Muslim countries. America. Right. Thank you so much.
More questions?
So
okay, this question is asking that last month, Allah told us
that we should hang on to the robot altogether and be done divided. So how did we get the president dictators in the Muslim countries? This question needs a whole evening of discussion. But
you know, in certain Iran, a law tells us in the law, you have a robot, the common
law will not change the condition of people. So they change that which is in themselves. So we change something inside of us. When
greed, tribalism, oppression, when these issues came into our lives, you know, then we actually went down in the course that we're doing this weekend, and shall I will be looking at the rise and fall of Islam. And one of the best examples is El enteritis, it is in Spain. So, we will go to the loose and we will show the rise of Islam and also the fall, because we need to understand from history exactly what is going on. There are certain things that there are certain you know, set systems in life and in history, you know, and some that Oh,
so so when Muslims became greedy, tribalistic, materialistic, and started worshipping other than Allah azza wa jal, then we were brought up in the last 200 years, since 1883. There was a big conference in Germany, the Berlin Conference, this is where they divided up the Muslim world is the present day colonial system. So you will see the colonial system how it is set up that
That foreign forces were, you know, occupied our countries had instituted, you know, foreign laws, in our case, but they would not have been able to do that, unless we had not become weak within ourselves. So we can't blame anybody else, really, ultimately, but ourselves. But you need to see the whole process of where we've gone through in our history. And we can say that the country now we're coming out of it now, we're actually on our way back up, you can see what happened in Tunisia, Tahrir Square, in many places around the Muslim world, people are waking up, and we are on our way back
to
the original thing, which inshallah will be enough
to return to the proper Islamic
system.
Yes, this just one comment before we get the question for the sister, the revival of Islam, and the improvement of our condition with our leadership in Muslim countries starts with ourselves. Because we keep complaining about dictators and Muslim countries, and we ourselves, some of us are dictatorial, in dealing with their children and wives and their husbands, so you have to fix your relationship between yourself and the last panel dial and then Allah subhanaw taala will fix your relationship with the people. And among those best, Yes, sister? Where, yes.
Be able to create proper instance, because a lot of the people
that I encountered were very interested in this
question.
So
the last part of the questions.
Okay, basically, the question is, that our sisters dealing with people of other faiths, many of them happen to be met. And so, you know, they how to negotiate? Or how to keep limits that will do their limits are different. So how do you naturally do that? You know, it's like a body language, you know, really, it's not, it's something that for some people, you can explain, you can explain to them that in our religion, you know, we, you know, we have great respect for each other, you know, keep limits, but sometimes it's a body language, like, for instance, you may be in certain situations where, you know, you walk in, and before they reach the handle, then you sort of like,
say, Good morning, and you're not like, you know, so therefore, the person realized, okay, that's your way of doing it. So they'll do it to you. So you don't try to be natural, not not unnatural.
But you need to be clear, you know, with people, because people will deal with you as to how you deal with yourself.
Need
your expense, like,
I
want a lot of information. So I end up building relationships with them.
Very easy.
Basically, you're in the beginning, breaking the ice with the person, and just, you know, making contact, there's nothing wrong with that. But once it starts to get personal, and it starts to get a little bit deep, then it is better to connect that person with a brother. Similarly with a brother with the system, because many brothers will say, you know, I'm giving,
you know, like the majority of people accepting Islam are women. So like, what should I do? So we say to the brother, okay, he'll begin it, but then we have to have sisters and Tao as well. Because many of our brothers, they will give Shahada on one hand, and because on the other hand, they'll marry or so so really, you know that this
when it starts to get personal, in a natural way, connect the person with somebody else because
you know, it's
It's not safe these days Really? how things happen in relationships
in prisons, jobs
Canadians are born
in Canada
another country like Afghanistan,
Chechnya, Syria now
what's the right way?
educated,
educated guess.
Okay.
This is a local question that you're sort of dealing with However,
these types that we're living in, you know, are very confusing
a press when the cops
shortlist
you know,
the guys that want to talk to them.
Okay, well, basically, I can see what you're saying, you know, if you come out tomorrow night, inshallah we'll be doing I will be dealing with
Islamic revival for
now, and this is a hedge, this is a program.
And the bottom line for Muslims today is to really revive, you know, Islam. And it is so important for us, you know, to get the message across to the Canadian people, to the people of these lands, because it gives only when the people at the lands themselves,
understood the message historically, that the message was able to flourish.
To a great extent, not necessarily know the situation here, many of our masters, you know, we just built to protect us to keep our slot. Now, we have to share the good aspects of the slot with the public, so that people have the soil itself, you know, except the smile, but then inshallah you will see a different relationship with the country itself, many of our young people also growing up, you don't have children of the soil of the land as well. And so it is really that revival of Islam, you know, to be positive, you know, and to go forward, it may appear to be negative in some ways, but this is a process we're going. It's a great, it's a storming process. It's like a giant to a
sleeping, and he wakes up the first few minutes, he's a little bit groggy. It's not sure which way to go. But now he's starting to wake up. And that's really what what the oma is now waking up, and inshallah sumos, you will see the results coming through.
We've got only a few minutes.
is the question general? or
How can you make the author an atheist?
First of all, if the person claims to be an atheist
is at some point he's trying to, you know, deny them like this. So he thought about the last battle, and he knows that he exists to start with. And I'll just share a personal story with you that I shared in my heart was maybe more than one time, I was chatting on the internet with someone and he asked me, he said,
What's your name? And then I said my name. And to him, this is like gibberish. He said, like, whatever. It's like, Where are you from? I said, that Egyptian quake at that time, I was teaching at the College of Shockwave. And then he said, Oh, you must be a wisdom. I said, Who told you this? Stop generalizing.
And he said, You guys in the Middle East almost. So this is ignorance, because in Egypt are 10% Christians and liberal
There are 30% Christians in Syria. So that Oh, I didn't know that a lot because you're ignorant indicator. So then I started asking him, so what's your name? And he told me, he happened to be a professor at the University. He's from the States. I said, What's the name of the state next year? He said, I don't know.
Now, I moved on to the question of, he asked me, he's like, you know, I said, what do you what do you claim that I'm a Muslim? So what about you? What do you believe in? It says, I'm an atheist. I said, No, you're not. So what? I said, No, you're not. And I can prove it to you in less than 10 minutes. So okay, let's go for it. I said, Okay. How do we communicate now? Is it through the internet? I said, when it comes to the internet, I don't believe in the internet. Have you seen the internet? Did you touch the internet? Can you send me a piece of internet? He said, No, I said, there's nothing called the internet. Okay, let's continue. How to communicate now through the
computer. I said, What's the computer? You mean? The random combination of electronic circuits and pieces of plastic together that made itself into that thing? He said, No, this is the sophisticated work of an electronic engineer. I said, Have you seen the electronic engineer putting that computer together? He said, No, I said the wrong electronic engineers.
And he said, Okay, I said, How can you get your computer to work?
Through power, electricity, electricity. Have you ever touched it? Can you send me a piece of electricity by mail? He said, No, I said, there is nothing called when we live in Africa.
And then the next question was working with your computer. So like, I said, Oh, that random combination of pieces of wood that put itself together? No, this is the artistic work of a carpenter. I said, Have you seen the carpenter putting it together? He said, No. I said, I don't believe in carpenters. There are no carpenters.
confusing me. I said, Can we compromise? He said, Yes. I said, What about this? We will call the computer electronic injury that you believe in? Because I haven't seen him. We'll call him the computer maker. Does this make sense to you? So yes, I said write it down.
Now, who made the table? He called him What should Carpenter I said, I will accept if you say, table maker. Does this make sense to you? is yes. So this move on? Do you have a camera? Yes. A third one, please. Then we started looking at each other. So you see me again. I started terrified.
Because the
terrorists, I don't know what's next. But this is the last one, right?
I said, Mr. Terry, are you terrified? He's like, no. I said, Okay. So look at me and look at you. How many eyes do you have?
How many noses do you have? Like one? Do we have the same? He said yes. How many ears do you have? He said two. I said they can never be bigger than mine. And then we came to the conclusion. I said, Can you make a conclusion? He said, Yes. I said, What is it? He said the one who made me is the one who made his pride this town called him. Man maker, right down. So let's go back to decipher decode.
How do you say man naked? Because you see men who are means like you and me. I said, Do you have to see your grandparents to believe that they existed? They said no. I said, Why do you believe that they exist? Because we can see you? You're one of the descendants? Now let's go back up. So who made the computer? Is the computer maker? I said no, give him the real name. Because when we see the computer, we say there is someone who made the computer and we call the computer maker and electronic engineer. I accepted now I believe in a computer engineers. like okay, I said, Let's go down who made the table and set the table maker? I said, No, we don't have to see the carpenter,
because we see his work, which is the table. So I believe in carpenters now, then the last one was, so this man maker. I said yes. I said, take it and put the real name is what is it? I said God. He said, Man, I believe in God. I said, I told him, I told him, you're ignorant. You just need to learn. So it was eight minutes, and I went to the
speakers for today.
Thank our audience for coming and for your question. But they would call today a think tank the situation.
So they went into the big tech with one of the leaders outwardly.
And they went to our lead and they said okay, now we have
To get a strategy against this man, what can we say?
And so they said to what the?
Maybe we can call him a cafe. Let's call him a cat. And a cat is like a wizard. It's like a male magician. The ones around the copper and whatnot very official is an official, you call an English you say wizard.
Okay, so but then I will lead. Although he was living in Germany, the Arabs love truth. They love to tell the truth.
The least they have that quality not.
So our lead said no.
putting it into our words,
is not a capital. It doesn't have the appearance of a canyon. No, that's what they said. Okay, maybe we should say he is.
The thing is crazy. Normally also answered, No, you cannot say that. Because he doesn't have the actions of a crazy person is calm.
The words that come out of him
is relaxed. That's not the right description. So they said, okay, maybe we should say he is shy. Let's say he is a poet.
But lead said no, because this thing that is reading, it's not sure it's not poetry. Because the Arabs knew that poetry. And in those days, they would speak in poetry. When you have certain rhythm in your language. So you have poetry and prose. That's what we say today. Poetry is rhymes. And prose is like telling a story, the quote and is coming in rind. prose. nobody speaks like that.
You know, today you have amongst the young people, you know, the rappers they rap in America. They rap in all languages. Now, even they rap in Somali and Arabic. And
everybody's trying to rap. What is a rapper? a rapper is somebody. He keeps talking. And it's in return, right? But usually, because it's difficult to do that ends up saying some crazy things that don't make any sense.
But these words coming out of the profits and sell them. It makes sense. It tells a story.
And it's in rhythm. We don't speak like this. So it's not coach. And they said, Why don't we say he is Saha?
Let's say he's a magician.
And then Walid said, No, he's not. He doesn't like the fact that the robot is not like to blow and Nazi is not a magician. So they say, Okay, what are we going to say, finally, they agreed, we will call him site, we'll call him a magician, because he breaks up families. And that is the chief occupation of the magician to separate husband from wife, parents from children. So let's call him the science or the word winners. And so the propaganda began to spread. And there are a number of individuals who were leading this, for this group of people, there was one person who was one of the worst against the prophets himself. His name was, alas, if anyone asked sentence.
And this man would follow the Prophet peace be upon.
And as the promise of someone was going to the different Arab tribes, when he finished he would say, This man is up top.
This man is useless is
that when you say this, an uptime means somebody who is cut off. It's a man who has no sons. He has no male offsprings. And in a tribal society like this, if you do not have males, who can fight for you, who can sing your praises, who represent you in their genealogy, then in a sense, you're cut off.
And so we spread this thing about the profit zone, and this must have hurt rasulillah. So it is a hurtful thing to say in the same way. It's hurtful thing when they accuse Muslims today of violence and genocide, hurting innocent people.
It hurts us, because we know this is not our religion.
We know that the main message of the purpose of Saddam was Ramadan, that mean he was a mercy for all of humanity, all of the world's so it hurts us. And this must have hurt us sooner. So
when they called him this terrible name,
and it is reported that the prophet SAW Selim.
It is sleep woke up gibreel Nissan came to him and revealed a chapter, a mighty chapter of the end, he revealed this subtle process.
Prophet smile informed his wife that you really have revealed to him or the villa in the shade Tony regime. smilla rahmanir rahim in Tanaka cosa for suddenly that have become one half in Shani Yakubu
Allah revealed.
In now after,
Verily, We have given you a cow.
We have given you an abundance, or suddenly there have become one half. So pray to your Lord and sacrifice in the shiny aka who will act,
the one who insults you, he will be cut off.
The Revelation of this chapter is a miracle. This is a standing miracle, which we are witnessing right now up until today, it is the shortest chapter in the corner 10 words. And I can believe that most of you How many people here have memorized Alakazam Raise your hand.
Everybody nice RAW file of this chapter. Because when you want to make a fast salon, right, you do NASA
counselor for us right to go up and down as fast
as they call it in some places.
This is the shortest chapter in the quarter, but it is expanding and expanding and expanding and expanding and will continue to grow until the Day of Resurrection. How is this possible?
We'll reveal Verily, We have given you our Casa
which has come to us in our traditions as a tree in Paradise, or as a river in paradise. And this river flows into the watering place to hold on the Day of Resurrection. It's liquid is white, the widest as milk, sweetest honey colder than ice. If you drink it once you'll never be thirsty again.
But also the Sahaba and the scholars looked at this word
alcohol saw the setup in the Arabic language means it is a
very romantic, it is a word that is what we call open ended.
It is careful not it is an abundance. It also means we have given you all Mohamed Salah Salah, we have given you an abundance.
We have given you something which is amazing, which will never stop what is the dedication? Number one, he was given Kelly Malala
and with this caliber he was connected to Allah azza wa jal Creator of the heavens and the earth created you know, now he was connected to an eternal force.
With this kellyboat that had his name as Mohammed or super attached to it. He is then connected
to the universe.
But he also had a Java to doubt
that the people began to answer.
They began to follow him.
His companions began to spread. He left Mecca with a smaller number, it got larger and larger. By the time he died, he had over 100,000 people with him.
And it continued to spread. Within 100 years, Islam had spread all the way to China.
All the way on the other side, to the Atlantic Ocean,
far north to the caucasoid Mountains, deep south to the Swahili coast. No other religion, no other way of life has ever spread that fast and has gone to so many different people as this message given by this one person who started in Mecca by himself in the dynaco Council or something that have been
threatening to your Lord and sacrifice.
His companions are spreading. We are people we have embraced this now.
We have never heard of him before. We don't speak Arabic.
We have no connection. There are some people now in the frozen wasteland. accepting Islam for a person who live in the desert.
And hardly even saw rain outside.
People will live in tropical jungles. It rains every single day.
They have no connection with him. But by the mercy of Allah azza wa jal, his companions are spreading every race, every nationality, every linguistic group, it is now reaching further places than it reached before in the alto narco Costa, was suddenly there and
even his name, Muhammad.
Nobody have this thing before. It was not used by the Arabs.
A recent study was done and they found that the name will have met it is the most popular name on Earth.
Because look at Muslims, how many people are called Julius Caesar?
Jesus Christ. Some Christians that the Spanish say hey, Seuss, but very few people use that name. How many people call Alexander the Great.
But we name our son, Abdul Kareem Mohammed Abdul Karim. Not sorry, Mohammed song. I had a friend from the Sudan. His name was Muhammad a tuba
he was allowed to kneel he was Egyptian so there'll be
another person on his passport, because it has his grandfather, Muhammad, Muhammad Muhammad three of
so know this man, whose name was not being used
as the most popular name on the face of the planet Earth, but the person that insulted him. Alas, it's been a while. How many people know this name of us?
Go monks, the Arabs and Sikh.
called amongst the scholars, the only time you would be connected with this name is the son of a big loss. For his grandson, Abdullah he given up a bill.
That's the only way you know his name is cut off. What did the first thing in the morning Naco called for suddenly the rock bigger one Hmm. In a shiny, aka who was
the one who insulted you, he will be cut off. You see this. This is a mirror.
This is a mirror.
I want to take it a step further.
When the companions of the Prophet Sal Silva traveled to different lands, they did not come with conquering armies. They intermarried with the people. They benefited from the cultures of the people. And so the knowledge of the people became part of Islamic knowledge.
They benefited from the societies. And because we took the knowledge of the ancient ones, the ancient Egyptians, the ancient Phoenicians, the ancient Iraqi, Indian, Chinese, all types of people, and we gave it a tawheed ik
base, we were able to change the course of history. How can I say this?
In the period called the dark ages of Europe, this was actually the golden age of Islam. So when you count in numbers, zero is an Arabic word.
When you count 12345, that came to you through the Arabic language. When you study your math, algebra, this isn't trigonometry, calculus, all of this came from Muslims, the scientific method,
the basis of modern medicine,
the basis of the modern educational system, came out of Muslims in the golden age of Islam, who preserved the knowledge of the world, put it in a useful form, that people could then redevelop their societies.
And so, why did they do this? Where did they get the energy to do this? Who started the movement that gave them the understanding it was the Prophet Muhammad sell sell them in Kolkata, for suddenly become one, the good part of this modern age, the positive part, you can relate it back to Muslims, and you will relate it back to a solar cell, who is the one who gave them the direction and the court and came to him to us
and so it is a standing miracle
and
score will continue to be a miracle until the Day of Resurrection, which is giving people direction in the way they should live. Right now the world is in crisis. The younger generation is growing up in a world with violence, poverty, disease,
traditional values are being broken down.
They are growing up in a world that seems to be falling apart in this court, and there are answers for society. Because the biggest problem of humanity is when they are cut off from their load.
We have the solution to this. We have the solution to many of the problems. You know, this is Thursday night. It's going into Friday. For many people in our non Muslim societies, when it gets near the weekend, the closer they get to Friday, the closer they get to the alcohol.
And when Friday comes, then they can have
and when they come together, it would be impossible to smile and enjoy unless you had something to drink.
How can you be enjoying yourself? How can you come on a Thursday night on a Friday night and you enjoy yourself and you smile? You're not Hi, you know what they found out recently?
A Canadian paper in Toronto has revealed that alcohol is worse on a human being that heroin and cocaine.
Alcohol does more damage to a person's life than heroin and cocaine.
But yet it is propagated to us on the media. It is coming to us an alcoholic has destroyed his body, destroyed his relationships, abuses his family, or she abuses her family, they get an accident on the highway. At least 25 people are affected by one alcohol.
We are living in an alcohol free a drug free society.
That is something that we need to give to the people of this world.
We are living in a society we were not exploiting each other's sexuality.
We're being taught not to judge people by the color of the skin.
We're being taught not to judge people because of their language or their passport.
We respect the human being because of their character, and not because of the money that they have. Or because of which country they come from. These are lessons that human beings need right now. What is our relationship with the environment. The prophets also showed us that we had a FIFA and the Khalifa is not a political term. The Khalifa is the representative of Allah subhanaw taala on Earth, that's what Muslims are supposed to be to take care of the environment to the ills of society. And so our mission today, really, when the smoke clears, it is to give this final last testament to the people so that they will have a way to come out of this crisis that the world is in. We're in a
terrible crisis. We're in a monetary crisis.
If you have a chance to buy gold, buy gold.
Because your paper notes that you have in a short term won't be able to be declared to be worthless, because there are some people saying within the next 10 years, today even have a new currency called a metal
which is which is the peso, the Mexican peso, the US dollar, the Canadian dollar, and if you have $100, Canadian will only be worth $1.
And if you don't want it, you have nothing.
So by have learned gold, our way is to have things which have value in themselves.
Not in the paper notes. I went to a country on $1 mission in the south of Africa is called Zimbabwe. Many of you might have heard of Zimbabwe. It's a beautiful country, despite what you hear debate is a beautiful country.
And the people are the most educated people in the southern region.
But because of a political situation, their currency which was higher than the British Pound is now worthless. I went to Zimbabwe and I have $100 and I said chief disappoint me brother, he came back with a bag of money.
And I said, I'd like to have a cool drink. And they said give me $500,000
The money is useless. Every time they print it. They got to put three more zeros and then three more zeros because don't the paper
That money you're carrying is a promise that there is gold and silver in the bag there is no longer golden silver to equal the paper we have.
So you need to learn to have back to the left learn to plant food.
Many of our young people don't know what it's like the young people asked me with oranges with oranges I said I said the young brother Where's oranges come from? He said it comes from Metro, it comes from the supermarket.
So no man oranges grow on trees.
plants.
So, in conclusion,
we are in a beautiful situation.
We but we will feel a lot of pressure on us. We will feel a lot of pressure but the prophet SAW sell them under that pressure is when he would shine
and the loss of Allah tala has given us as as the ones that have inherited this message. He has given us an abundance. And so I leave you with these words that Allah azzawajal has revealed to us and given to us this Minaya Ramallah Rahim, in our Thai National Council. Suddenly there have been a one half in the shaliach
Apolo Tony was talking about the wonderful was Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah.
Kim quick way Allah Subhana. Allah give us the benefit of what we heard. And Dr. Abdullah still has about seven minutes to go. But I think he is trying to prove me wrong.
Sharma now will give the floor to Dr.
Les records.
Learn from the LAO salatu salam ala rasulillah Salam aleykum selam, while early Saviano Allah. And at the beginning, I would like to thank Dr.
de la Kim Khan for honoring us for being here with us tonight. And I feel so humbled to speak after him. I thank all of you for coming tonight. I'm going to start with a story. One day we went for Allah
subhanaw taala there was a young man who was refurbed and he was crying next to the car.
And when we ask them, Why are you crying? Did you lose your money?
And this is partly what the shape was talking about. The money has been papered. He looked at us and he laughed. He
said, Did you lose your passport?
And he said, No. So why are you crying?
He said, because I have been a Muslim for two weeks. And I've done nothing for Islam.
So we turned around to each other. And we started asking,
how old Have you been a Muslim?
And what did you do for Islam?
We're talking tonight about Java.
And when we speak about Dawa, you're one of two. That's what the scholar said. And imaginary way matter.
You either call or you will be called. Meaning Subhana Allah, look at me and do when we are alone at home.
And nobody can see you but Allah subhana wa Tada. And sometimes Allah the Most half will be right in front of you. And also next to it is the remote control of the TV. Which one would you pick? It's amazing. That's a problem. You go there to get the most have to read something. And then she would come in and you're tired. You know, you know, a lot of fluoride em, you just came back from work, slept, get some rest. You know what, watch the DV, to see what is happening to the Muslim woman. You know how the time it's doing what they're doing.
As a trick, so you want it to go to the prom. But if you don't have a strong image, I will call you. So at that moment, you have to stop and say you're
at least in one page of something.
But those who are checked by shaitan they will go there. And in fact when they turn on the TV, it's not going to be the news about the Muslim world. It's going to be something else that you are watching right before the will be tricked and this is why Allah, Allah told us in the Koran, that children you know, Thomas Detrick and we know that he's gonna give a hot book in January.
Mila
Brahim This is what the last paragraph tells us in the Quran.
And shaytan will say when the matter is decided this was the day of judgment so people want to know your lawmakers amongst them and some people will make it to the fire mama Samus holds me
a Minnesotan Arabic word this electricity and water. Okay. Now, anybody here?
Should you haven't heard of this?
Okay, so Allah subhanaw taala, saying, Look at this, we know this from now. shaitan is telling us a lesson in Iran.
In
so what is the message of prophets? It's the promise of truth.
If you become a servant to a lot, you will be successful in the dunya. And
this was gonna happen to you. So the promise of Allah is true, believe it,
and submit to Allah.
But then she's gonna say, Well, I
left to come on, I promised you, but I will never keep my promise.
But this next one.
I didn't have any authority over you. Except
first.
I just called up when you do this, and you followed me? I whispered, if you say.
So you're either making drama,
or your desires, or the temptations of dystonia? You know, you have four enemies, would you like to throw them at the end of the show?
Now, let's go to the next question. If I were to ask you, what are the best words ever?
You hear this every Friday from Seamus shala from Dr. Cook inshallah.
At the beginning of what do we say?
Anybody knows that?
I have candy.
Bismillah. Okay.
Yes.
When we say
in
a circle Howdy,
kitayama, Ohio.
So when I asked this question, I'm going to take the candy because I'm not handsome. Okay. So now, what are the what are the best words, the words of Allah? And this is why I must say.
The first words are the words that will be used by someone who will make doubt
no one else would be doing a better job than him. And a lot combine this with something very important. What I mean.
But it has to do righteous deeds. You practice what you preach. We'll call him the Nieminen. muslimeen. Okay, who's claiming to be a Muslim? Raise your hand.
One hand
two hands shaven. I wish I had four. Okay, so our last panel data is telling us if you claim to be a Muslim, you have to make them and you have to do righteous deeds. Now who can tell me what is the best?
What is the best oma?
Yeah, the Omar Mohamed Salah. Is it simply because they belong to them?
And we will hammer them?
How do we translate that love? It translates into
actions right? This is why I look at the eye of
Allah
region
has saved us to the end of time. And he said you were the best oma saved for all people. What are the criteria to be the best? That is the question. This is where
whenever you see desire, he would say but rather than failure, failure.
Whoever wants to be the best, it has to apply and comply with the conditions first.
If the owner wants to go back, what do we need to do? Enjoy what's right. What and how
can you stop What's wrong?
Why don't we
And you believe in a lot of scars that we're supposed to be believers, but it means that it means you have almost to work to increase your event. And this is why you're here tonight. You want to know something more about your team. So don't be content with your level of a man, you have always to work on your email because yeah, you know, and you know,
Billy, what does it mean? Increase your level of email? Because it's not a man. And
that sir, Mashallah, that's good. Now,
Allah subhanaw taala made a statement of the problem, he said,
we have not sent you but to all mankind.
We have not sent you but as mercy for the whole universe.
How come the Russell is sent to all people? And he died?
How How can he be sent to the people who would be born tomorrow?
If the processing of that was gonna click on the message,
smile and say?
Who's gonna carry on the message?
Are we obligated to say something about this that we should make now? Listen to this number 108.
Allah,
Mohammed say to them, this is my way. What's the secret of the process? What's the way either Oh,
I invite people to the wave
based on knowledge and our money.
I and also follow me who claim to be a follower.
If you raise your hand, you're obligated yourself to comply with this. So you have to make down
Can you give me proof from the Hadith? Yes. The
only one.
What do I share with the people?
You know, teach them even one verse from the Quran and the say, made the test and have dinner with all pastors. Right? Whom rises
to the floors first, Mashallah.
Mashallah, that's good. So you can tell that I don't know. But you will sometimes against me and say,
You don't have a BA.
So don't make that one. Right. And I'm gonna ask you a question. When I
was invited to stand.
Only one week, he came back with five of those who had promised Jenna while they're still walking Earth. Amongst them is NASA sided now do a pause. Now, can you tell me what degree that could have been one week? How much of the problem was at that time? Tell me how much how many is?
So again, this is a typical shaper.
Let me tell you something. Another story
is from Yemen.
We Allah subhanaw taala. Read the Yemenis from the Thailand say I mean,
this is an extra
I'm sorry.
Okay. One for harmony.
Okay, so forgive me inshallah. So again,
when he came,
they weren't him. They said, Listen, there is a man. If you listen to him, is like a magician. He will brainwashing. And the man was the leader of his tribe. So they scared him so much so that he started putting cotton into his ears, not to listen to the processor. It's the same thing as the shampoo sharing with us. Islam has given a bad name everywhere. Look at the news.
And that happened also the time of the processor. And the man was so scared. But then, at some point while he was doing coffee said, How foolish are you to fight? You have the leader? You're trying. Your wise man, you're afraid. Everybody looks up to you, and you're scared to listen to ally. Go listen to him. If he's telling the truth, follow him. It's not just ignore him. She went to the Prophet sallallahu sallam. And he said tell me something and the boss.
Numbers cited some foreign and supplier law accepted this. And this is profitable a lot.
You know, give me a sign that I will take to my people,
and the person may talk to him. So there was a light in between his eyes, is it profitable law, necktie that will, you know, that light will be my stick because people might think that like, you know, a mat or something or something, I'm possessed or something. So, Basilan made that and, you know, the light interesting,
this world to find it was one man,
he went back home to me.
And
many battles happen, but what happened? And how
and when highborn was over, promising them so lots of us coming to the Medina. And they asked us this is this is up to find that number to see briefly on his trial from Yemen, accepting Islam, one man, the book all of us try. And guess what, at the very beginning, he felt frustrated like many of us, you go to the people, and you try to invite them and then turn you a different error blind on is like, you know, what? Take them to
their profile anyway.
Is this our attitude? No.
I call them to Islam, and nobody has something against them prophet of Allah, and the Muslim embrace, Hispanics learn how to do that. When he raised his hands, everybody said, Those, the Brazilians gonna make them now and they're gonna be destroyed. The Muslim raise his hand. And he said, a lot of them it doesn't want to be a Muslim. But Allah guide the hearts of love, and bring the Muslims Allah accepted. And after hiber all of them came, so make to have for people don't make against them. I know there are some brothers now. You know, you know, when they start practicing Islam, I told you before, you know, the way they look, they look like this. They give you the 100
smile.
Why?
That? Has? What?
What the seriousness has to do with you being frowning.
The process of them was never seen from me, or angry, except when I was disobeyed. In fact,
I had an actor.
I've never seen a smiling face more than the profits of autism.
And then you tell them, what do you make against your family and against your neighbors? Is it because no one is solemn? May
I say you're wrong? Do you know when did he make the innocence people?
How many years?
How many years? 950 years? How many seconds? Did you make them in your life? How many minutes
and Allah subhanaw taala said
only a few people accepted Islam. And Cipolla know, there are different durations. The highest number I have seen that I've seen is 80 people divided
by 80. It means every 12 years, one person became a Muslim at the hands of
every 12 years, one person will accept this level.
Yet he was patient.
Now, when did he make too high against them? When I must have said to him? No, no one is going to accept Islam anymore.
And this is why I said in nicotine is all about those who fall because of us. in their hearts. They're not criminals, if you leave them who's going to be their descendants likely to
catch on?
So let's go on.
Some somebody might say, we don't I'm not gonna make that one. Until I have fully man. Isn't this one of the tricks? doesn't check out often say, you know, when you become like, you know, the best Muslim ever. I'm gonna tell you one of the things you're you're one of two. Either this is not gonna happen until almost you're gonna die. So you will miss all your life because this over
the average age is between 60 to 70%. Very few who passed. You know that age. And it's amazing that one woman at the time.
She was crying. I know Harrison, I'm asking him, why are you crying? So like, I lost my child and he's very young.
He said, How old was he when he died? She said 300 years
and he said what if you live
During the time that would go, when the average span of life would be 60 to 70 hours at work, there would come a time when the average span of life would be 60 to 71.
If I live to that time, and my life would be 60 to 70 years, I would spend the 60 to 70 years making sure to Allah subhanaw taala.
So invest to the law before it's too late. So you have to enter your email will be complete, and nobody By the way, you can attempt to break the bank
almost at the time of death, and you will miss the chance to break down second. You might think at some point, I have fully learned and you look down upon others, and this is right.
And this is the first sin and entitlement which I transferred to Allah subhanaw taala I'm better than Adam. And why was he me? Wasn't because he achieved something. No, he said
something even given to him is that you created me out of fat and you are just so when you when you when you feel a bit achieved something, it should be something that you have done, but something even given to.
So who would like gin?
Now the two hands on
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam told the Dalai Lama when he said one of the ways to generalize to make the automa
marinara, if Allah subhanaw taala were to use you to guide someone to Allah subhanaw taala it's better for you than the red candles and the red candles at the time. This was the best money ever, because I come in at the time was almost like $100,000 today. So basically we're saying the rate.
Give me the name, push force. Shake was the latest. You got a Rolls Royce. Okay, so now
this is the person himself.
Over here, it's better for you than the whole universe and what's in it. Now would you like to learn from a woman?
That's the story that every time it brings tears to my eyes.
A woman by the name of homosalate wins.
The woman was married to a man and then she converted to Islam. And
when she converted to Islam, her husband was still a disbeliever. So when he came back home, and he knew that she was a Muslim, he was so mad.
At her son is an us they've been married. So husband was manic.
So
he went out and he was so angry. And one of his enemies met him in the street and he killed him. So the woman became a widow. And here comes a very beautiful person in the community of Medina called Alberto.
And he proposed to her said, I want to marry you.
And she told him about OSHA in Mecca.
machine.
And our Prophet told us we cannot manage a Muslim.
And then he went away. And then he tried again, he came back he said, if it is gold and silver, I can give you a lot.
She said let me tell you something about
what do you worship Amato? Why don't you worship the wood that's made into a God by so and so? He said yes. And she said, if the fire you know breaks into this world would it eat? it? Is it is it is this wise. You worship gods that you make with your own hands, and the shadow and in the world.
She said this is my diary.
And this is why they say this that we have a story on here. The best doctor in Islam is the daughter of slaves.
Because he thought he was going to gender she guided her own husband to be a Muslim.
Who now cares about the assessments that they drink? Or if they don't pray, they don't do this and this.
Listen to another story of people who used to feel you know, for their family members. And they cared about them about the law and came to the processor. Allah every time
I make my mother to accept this then she would say bad things about you. Would you please make the hard for her?
Who can do this today? But take time to make up for his brother or sister not against them.
And you know when you make the offer someone that was Selim said there's an angel who would say
well, it can be misused.
The same for you. You are making the drive, but the engine is making time for you. Which is better.
So panela so when the seller knew that he was sincere, he meant to ice it.
I went back home, my mother was taking a shower. And she said, Wait, and then she put
a lot
of the profits.
Let me conclude.
Are you proud to be a Muslim today?
Was it obviously
the q&a?
I would take it like no, because if you're here today, Michelle was a kid about Islam after magnimous rude one time
went out
when he wanted to show us that when the Muslims were very few number, and somehow he went out to the Canada and on the top of the Kaaba, he stood there, and he started reciting.
So they bought the machine, and they started beating him up.
And like they saved him before they were killing him. So while he was so he said, You know what? We're gonna come and see you tomorrow.
I'm not saying to the brothers here to go out to the square and say, Hey, kofod we're gonna do this. And this? No, I'm saying he was proud. He was proud of his Islam. And
some people today change Muhammad, the best name ever to move away.
They change herself to sound
and fundamental faith. And that is a delicious, right. Okay.
Now,
my question is,
I was asking the Sahaba when he was the Khalifa, by the way, and this is very deep. He said, my goodness, imagine he is known for what?
For his courage. He was asked the people around him when he was the elephant. He said, Who is the bravest person in Islam? And everybody looked at him as if they're saying
you? He said no.
And then he shared his story with them. They said, we're very few numbers.
And we came to the person and while he was standing by the car,
and was trying to make the hour, and there were lots of people around him, somebody pushing him. This was expected. And somebody pulling him, said, we're scared. And we ranted about and the only one
who want to defend the profits of a lot SLM.
He was brought, you know, a fighter, like
he's the best.
He's the best man of the whole profits.
So he said to the people,
are you gonna kill a man simply because he say my lord is a man. So
he pushed.
And he pushed his back, and he took off his shoes. And he started beating him up until his face, you know, was swollen to the degree you can see his notes from his eyes from his mouth.
And they took him back home. When they took him back home, he felt like he felt unconscious. And everybody said he's dying. So power, the first moment he woke up, they were offering him something to eat or drink. He said, What happened to the prophets of Allah?
What's his main concern?
So
let me conclude with another story.
Do we sometimes make the animal doesn't accept?
So this is
defend democracy? Again? So yes, yes, yes. Sometimes we make the app.
You're going to take one of my candidates, right? I'm happy to do.
So what happens? Allah subhana wa sallam told us the reason if Allah subhanaw taala doesn't accept our diets because we live down. He said,
Well, it's an
hour.
You have to enjoy what's right and forbid what's wrong.
Otherwise, Allah subhanho wa Taala will punish you all.
And then you will make to add to him, and he will not answer your time.
There was a time, when a whole village, a whole city
was obedient to Allah subhanaw taala. So the command of Allah subhana wa Taala, sent to build, to destroy that city. And this is the letter I'm going to leave you with.
And when to be nice to them, when down, usually he will carry that city on the tip of one of his wings, I will turn it upside down.
He found a man who was making Institute and was crying and making too hot.
So he went back to a mass appeal. And he said, Oh Allah in the
back, you amongst them, that is not you know, you're serving so and so. And he's like we Institute and he's crying is looking to add you
start with him, destroy them first. In the hood.
His face didn't turn red, meaning he didn't get angry.
He only cares about himself. And this is why the last
one
Muslim,
Allah will never destroy the cities.
While there are people there, who are not only righteous,
but they combine what's right and what's wrong. It's not enough to be righteous. So basically, it means that you guide people towards right, and you forbid them from what's wrong.
And this is why. So Panama. It's an amazing story that I heard on my way here, that somebody was very poor. He saved some money
just to go and pay the fees to the doctor. And he was not sick.
So when he went to the doctor, the doctor asked him, he said, What's your problem? What are you suffering from? He said, Nothing. I just saved the money to come and ask you to save some time to pray because I love you.
And the doctor started crying. And his Toba was at the hands of that man. Imagine somebody just saving the money to go to the doctor to pay him the face to see him and say, because I love you. And I know that you don't pray, please start praying. And the doctor is one of the best to hire now.
When he shared that story, it's because somebody made that out to him in a very simple way. Very simple way. Another brother in law, he went all the way to Makkah to make Amara and he kept, you know, mathematician, making one cry.
And when he was asking, Who is this person that are making tohatsu he said one of my close friends, because he doesn't pray and he committed sins. And he said will lie. I made the Amara only for him. Just to go there and make up for him. So when he gave back his friend, in two weeks, start afraid and stop being a video intersperse. Can we do that? Yes, we can. Can we sacrifice our time? Can we be positive in our day our will lie there was a very simple man who learned only doesn't have so much knowledge for those who say, I'm going to wait until I learn more and more to break down. He learned only one processor killed him attorney. Happy.
Happy man sapan Allah subhanho wa Taala are the two statements that you can make. They're very light when it comes to saying them when you're tired.
But they're very heavy on the scale.
And then he said they are very beloved to the most useful to our span of time. So that man suppiler wherever he goes, he goes to buy something you
can even have
your coffee fatahna
he goes to the doctor Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah and what is like three times in a second? Can you mentor me? Somehow? They said when he was dying, when like he would pass out, and when he wakes up, the only thing he said, Kenny mitanni, coffee for Terry and Alyssa, and he ended his life like that.
Shalom.
Shalom. We'll open the floor for questions and answers and before I see some heads, I'm going to share a very brief thought with you
The reason that the misconceptions and the stereotypes about Islam and Muslims are very common and persistent in today's media is because Muslims are not doing enough. They're not doing enough.
And of course, the news channels they have a share and the blame. I've been studying
Fox News for four years for my PhD. And I almost get a heart attack every time I see Bill O'Reilly, Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity speak about Islam and Muslims and they rarely invite the Muslims to speak for Islam and Muslims. Every time they want to speak about an issue related to Islam and Muslims they invite
a Christian evangelical to speak about Islam and Muslims and Buddhist Plummer they invite Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck to speak for Islam and Muslims but they rarely environment Muslim to speak for Islam and Muslims. What was the last time you saw Dr. Abdullah
shave you suggest this or any other Muslim to represent the Muslims
that I can think of.
The other thing is we have also a share in the blank, we're not doing enough. And I always say that Islam is a winning case. But we have bad attorneys, we have bad lawyers, and others they have a losing case a big time, but they have excellent attorneys. If we ask our youth here today, who of you wants to be a doctor? Raise your hands
a doctor who wants to be a doctor
who wants to be an engineer or a technician Mashallah who wants to study the field of media to present Muslims in the meeting?
Yeah, you're saying this just to please me to make me happy you know.
We have more doctors in the Muslim community than patients and we have engineers they are more engineers than cars. But who are the Where are the Muslims who are present us and speak for our challenges and aspirations and pains in the media? There are very few so we have to do something and this is my thought and forgive me if I just this is my my passion.
I want to see some hands shala we'll get a question for a little brother question from
Charlotte.
Okay, there is a book by Dr. Abdullah came quick inshallah. Islamic revival for the heydays of Islamic revival in two
dudes are available in DVDs, I see it as dude.
Two DVDs are available in Selma.
The DVDs were
finalist in 2009 and 2010 and Jazeera documentary film contest.
It's a good dow material to give to non Muslims inshallah.
Questions. Yeah, we'll start with a sister in the back.
Yes, what we have to try to do?
What the question is that time is a problem the sister has in, you know, not just the non Muslims of people in the faith, but it's the Muslim is like what we used to call counter anti Islam and counter anti Islam is something given by the media against Islam. But counter Islam is where Muslims don't practice Islam. That's the worst form of Dawa, that there is. And so this causes them to be very good, but what we have to do is, you know, clearly separate Islam from Muslims, every faith, every way of life has practitioners, and people do not practice. And so if you don't make it clear to them, that you know, the fact that the person is a Muslim, does not necessarily mean that they live
up to all of the standards of Islam.
In most of our cities, I don't know about Edmonton, but in Cape Town, the biggest drug dealers in the city where Muslims are they came from Muslim families, right?
You know, so you will find, you know that there are people who don't have Muslim neighbors, but not necessarily friends. So, so try to, you know, very clearly separate Islam practices, you know, have some keep going forward and keep being positive.
I just have a comment on what you said,
in one of the, one of the battles between the Muslims and of course, the Persians back in the days, and the leader of the Muslims was undefendable, the Hierophant. And the Muslims were winning at the beginning. But there was like a tribe in between both.
And unfortunately, they betrayed the Muslims.
They are Muslims, but they betrayed the Muslims. So listen to this, and within the inheritor, send them a message that consists of three words. And that's the message I'm sending myself and all the Muslims today, he said, learn to
lead
and Muslim meaning to not disgrace the Muslims. And the people once they heard the message, Pamela, amen, pumped in their hearts, and they were the reasons for the Muslims to win the battle.
Now, there is a written question for
that is it is if it is said that the prophets of Allah on SLM
will be a shaffir intercessor for the Muslims, does this include the Muslims who have lived and died in the land of the Kaffirs based on Dr. Ritter's lecture yesterday? What did I say yesterday?
Did I make a statement like that? Okay. Let me let me just
I mentioned last last night, when I showed you the stages of the eternal journey, meaning lead from life, shall lead to the end, in general, shall I say, I mean,
I said one of them is
a shafaq is only for the Muslims. So, he said the first stage is dunya this life in the life in this dunya.
So, the first stage is life, and then after the word your life, what happens to us share with me,
second stage.
So the great third stage,
I have to call my candy back, resurrection, right people will be resurrected. And then after that, we say there is
a suffer because the day of judgment and deserve will not start. You know, that will be a long day. Allah subhanaw taala said, done
50,000 years, people will be sweating until they run out of water and they will be sweating blood.
So they will come close to all the profits one by one and they will stop by them. Don't you see what's happening to us? You're the father of mankind. Don't you go to Allah Subhana and ask him for intercession is gonna say, I was commanded not to eat from the tree. So every and each one of the prophets will pass us to the next one, until it comes to Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
And then he said the process of them said, I will go and makes you tuned underneath the throne of us panel, Donna, and I will be taught certain Serbians celebrations and praises of Allah subhanho wa Taala. And I will say the institute and Allah is going to say to me, oh, Mohammed,
Mohammed, raise your head, ask and whatever you asked will be answered. If it's intercession you're given it and this is why if you understand the drive to make after that, a lot more of it
was about
Mohammed
or bad luck.
That's it. He says for no liability.
You know, disposition will be given to only one amongst one time and look at his home.
My sister
and I wish that I would be that person and it is him. So the last one is, according to OSHA, so the person is gonna say what are the first words is gonna say, Almighty?
He cares about you. So if the sister or the brother is asking this question, if you want the intercession of the Prophet salallahu alaihe salam, what you need to do is show that you love him by his actions, and emulate him. So the intersection of the prophets Allah is gonna be for his true Omen, those who claim to be his own. And today for the personal goals, say, the land of the kuffaar, the land of the kuffaar, let me tell you one thing, the land belongs to Allah subhanho wa Taala. And tell me and give me an example of one Muslim state, and I'm going to immigrate to Russia.
Is that clear?
Is there a country in the world what Islam is applied as a way of life? So you know, no.
One will love him. So when that's established, we'll all immigrate. inshallah, so the scholar said, Today, your issue and Muslim hifi are going up at the last
minute,
well,
meaning the Muslims should live today, when he can practice the will he can.
And he can show the fact that he's a Muslim. In fact, if you see the real world today, in non Muslim countries, you are given the freedom to speak, you are given the freedom to practice your day, more than you are given the freedom in the so called Muslim countries. Am I right? All right. Thank you so much.
More questions?
So
okay, this question, brother is asking that last month, Allah told us in his book, that we should hang on to the rope of Allah altogether and be not divided. So how did we get the president dictators in the Muslim countries? This question needs a whole evening of discussion. But
you know, in certain rod a law tells us in the law, the common
law will not change the condition of the people. So they change that which is in themselves. So we change something inside of us. When
greed, tribalism, oppression, when these issues came into our lives, you know, then we actually went down in the course that we're doing this weekend, inshallah, I will be looking at the rise and fall of Islam. And one of the best examples is enter this is in Spain. So, we will go to the loose and we will show the rise of Islam can also fall, because we need to understand from history exactly what is going on, there are certain
that there are certain
systems in life and in history, you know, and some that are not so so when Muslims became greedy, tribalistic, materialistic, and started worshipping other than Allah azza wa jal, then we were brought up in the last 200 years, since 1883, there was a big conference in Germany, the Berlin Conference, this is where they divided up the Muslim world is the present day colonial system. So you will see the colonial system, how it is set up, that foreign forces were, you know, occupied, our countries had instituted, you know, foreign laws, in our case, but they would not have been able to do that, unless we had not become weak within ourselves. So we can't blame anybody else. Really,
ultimately, but ourselves. But you need to see the whole process of where we've gone through in our history. And we can say that 100 now we're coming out of it now. We're actually on our way back up. You can see what happened in Tunisia, Tahrir Square, in many places around the Muslim world, people are waking up and we are on our way back up and showing up to
the original thing which inshallah will be enough for Allah
to return to the
Problem is not
just one comment before we get the question for the sister, there were viable of Islam and the improvement of our condition with our leadership in Muslim countries starts with ourselves. Because we keep complaining about dictators and Muslim countries, and we ourselves, some of us are dictatorial, in dealing with their children and wives and their husbands, so you have to fix your relationship between yourself and the last panel, Thailand in the last panel, Tyler will fix your relationship with the people that alone knows best. Yes, sister? Were Yes.
distributors and
being able to create proper incentives?
That
question is,
so
Okay, basically, the question is that our sisters dealing with people of other faiths, many of them happen to be better. And so, you know, they how to negotiate? Or how to keep limits that will do, the limits are different. So how do you naturally do that? You know, it's like a body language, you know, really, it's not, it's something that for some people, you can explain, you can explain to them that in our religion, you know, we, you know, we have great respect for each other, you know, and we keep limits, but sometimes it's a body language. Like, for instance, you may be in certain situations where, you know, you walk in, and before they reach the handle, then you sort of like,
say, Good morning, and you're not like, you know, so therefore the person realize, okay, that's your way of doing it. So they'll do it to you, so to speak, is you don't try to be natural, not not unnatural.
But you need to be clear, you know, with people, because people will deal with you as to how you deal with yourself.
It's very easy
to talk.
Just,
yeah, I mean, basically, you're in the beginning, breaking the ice with the person, and just, you know, making contact, there's nothing wrong with that. But once it starts to get personal, and it starts to get a little bit deep, then it is better to connect that person with a brother. Similarly, with a brother with the system does many brothers will say, you know, I'm giving
you know, like the majority of people accepting Islam are women. So like, what should I do? So we say to the brother, okay, he'll begin it, but then we have to have sisters and Tao as well. Because many of our brothers they will give Shahada on one hand, and because on the other hand, they'll marry or so so really, you know that this
when it starts to get personal in a natural way, connect the person with somebody else because
you know, it's it's not safe to stay is really how things happen in relationships.
Lot of
jobs
are born
in Canada
Chechnya, Syria now?
What's the right way? To make
this possible?
Okay,
this is a local question.
Dealing with, however,
these types that we're living in are very confusing.
Okay, well, basically, I can see what you're saying, if you come out tomorrow night,
I'll be doing I will be dealing with
Islamic revival 14.
And this is a bandage, this is a program.
And the bottom line for Muslims today is to really revive, you know, Islam. And it is so important for us, you know, to get the message across to the Canadian people, to the people of these lands, because it's only when the people at the lands themselves
understood the message
that the message was able to flourish, it is,
to a great extent, not necessarily know the situation here, many of our masters, you know, we just built to protect us to keep us alive. Now we have to share the good aspects of the slot with the public. So that people have the soil itself, you know, except the smile, but then inshallah you will see a different relationship with the country itself, many of our young people also growing up, you know, our children of the soil of the land as well. And so it is really that revival of Islam, you know, to be positive, you know, and to go forward, it may appear to be negative in some ways, but this is a process we'll go into. It's a great, it's a storming process. It's like a giant to
asleeping. And he wakes up the first few minutes, he's a little bit groggy, it's not sure which way to go. But now he's starting to wake up. And that's really what, what the oma is now waking up, and inshallah sumos, you will see other results coming soon.
So we'll get one last question, because we got only a few minutes.
is the question general? or
How can you make the alternatives?
First of all, if the person claims to be an A,
is at some point, he's trying to, you know, deny them a like this. So he thought about the last battle, and he knows that he exists to start with. And I'll just share a personal story with you that I shared in my class, maybe more than one time, I was chatting on the internet with someone and he asked me, he said,
What's your name? And then I said my name. And to him, this is like gibberish. He said, like, whatever. It's like, Where are you from? I said, an Egyptian Wait, at that time I was teaching at the College of Shockwave. And then he said, Oh, you must be a Muslim. I said, Who told you this? Stop generalizing.
And he said, You guys in the Middle East, I almost said this is ignorance. Because in Egypt, there are 10% Christians, and liberland. There are 30% Christians in Syria. So that Oh, I didn't know that. So like, because you're ignorant. indicator. So then I started asking him, so what's your name? And he told me, he happened to be a professor at the University. He's from the States. I said, What's the name of the state next year? He said, I don't know.
Now, I moved on to the question of, he asked him is like, you know, I said, Why? What do you claim that I'm a Muslim? So what about you? What do you believe in? He says, I'm an atheist. I said, No, you're not. So what? I said, No, you're not. And I can prove it to you in less than 10 minutes. Okay, let's go for it. I said, Okay. How do we communicate now? He said through the internet. I said, I'm a cat.
When it comes to the internet, I don't believe in the internet. Have you seen the internet? Did you touch the internet? Can you send me a piece of internet? They said no, I said, there's nothing called the internet. Okay, let's continue, how to communicate now through the computer. I said, What's the computer in the random combination of electronic circuits and pieces of plastic together that made itself into that thing? He said, No, this is the sophisticated work of an electronic engineer. I said, Have you seen the electronic engineer putting that computer together? He said, No. I said, there are no electronic engineers.
Okay, I said, How can you get your computer to work?
Through power, electricity, electricity. Have you ever touched it? Can you send me a piece of electricity by mail? He said, No, I said, there is nothing
when we live in Africa.
And then the next question was working with your computer. I said, Oh, that random combination of pieces of wood that put itself together. But no, this is the artistic work of a carpenter. I said, Have you seen the carpenter putting it together? He said, No. I said, I don't believe in carpenters. There are no carpenters.
confusing me. I said, Can we compromise? He said, Yes. I said, What about this? We will call the computer electronic engineer that you believe in? Because I haven't seen him would call him the computer maker. Does this make sense to say yes, I should write it down.
Now, who made the table? He called him What should Carpenter I said, I will accept it. You say, table maker. Does this make sense to you? Is it Yes? I said this move on. Do you have a camera? Yes. A third one, please. Then we started looking at each other. So when you see me, I started terrified.
Because they call us
terrorists. I don't know what's next. But this is the last one, right?
I said, Mr. Terry, are you terrified? He said like no. I said, Okay. So look at me and look at you. How many eyes do you have? He said,
How many noses do you have? Like one? Do we have the same? They said yes. How many ears do you have? We said two I said they can never be bigger than mine. And then we came to the conclusion. I said, Can you make a conclusion? They said yes. I said, What is it? He said the one who made me is the one who made yourself. Write this down. called him. Man maker. Write it down. So let's go back to decipher decode.
How do you say man naked? Because you see men who are means like you and me. I said, Do you have to see your grandparents to believe that they existed? They said no. I said why do you believe that they existed because we can see you? You're one of the descendants? Now let's go back up. So who made the computer? Is the computer maker? I said no, give him the real name. Because when we see the computer, we said there is someone who made the computer and we call the computer maker and electronic engineer. I accept it. Now I believe in a computer engineers. like okay, I said, Let's go down who made the table and set the table maker? I said no, we don't have to see the carpenter,
because we see his work, which is the table. So I believe him carpenters. Now. Then the last one was, so there is man maker. I said yes. I said, take it and put the real name is it what is it? I said, God. He said, Man, I believe in God. I said, I told you. I told you, you're ignorant. You just need to learn. So it was eight minutes and I went.
speakers for today.
Thank our audience for coming and for your question.
