AI: Summary ©

The importance of protecting families and individuals from the spread of rumors and false rumors is discussed in the context of the Prophet sall campaigns and the need for children to learn in a particular way. The importance of learning in the Arabian society is emphasized, along with the need for proper MCQs and classes for children. The speakers also touch on mistakes made by countries and people in general, including missing information and mistakes made by people in general. The importance of learning and training for teachers and mucked-up teachers is emphasized, along with the need for people to read and write properly. There is a risk of conflict between Islam and American values, and the focus on learning in schools is fulfilling the needs of children.

			Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim Al
hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:08
			Salatu was Salam ala UL Mursaleen.
While earlier he was Safi, Rocco
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:13
			was seldom at the Sleeman
Cathedral on Ilario Medina America
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:18
			called Allah Tabata Katara Quran
emoji they will Furqan al Hamid
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:28
			Yeah, yeah hello Dina Manu goo
fullcycle mwah, Li come now. Baku
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:33
			Hannahs will hija or are they
eager to
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:37
			Shida soon have law?
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:42
			Law, sooner law,
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45
			wire for you.
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:50
			My dear respected friends Assalamu
alaykum Warahmatullahi
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:51
			Wabarakatuh.
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:58
			Allah subhanho wa Taala says in
the Quran, or people who believe
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:00
			protect yourself
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04
			and your families from the fire.
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:13
			That's a very specific, very
special, very important command
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:18
			because that shows how ALLAH
SubhanA wa Taala wants people to
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:23
			look after their families,
maintain them in a particular way,
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:27
			grant them some stability, for the
sake of the Hereafter for a
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:32
			movement for a believer everything
is to do with the hereafter. So
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:35
			that is what's built into this
verse, you need to protect your
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:39
			families, so that the hereafter is
full of salvation, endless bliss.
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:45
			What I'm going to do today because
mashallah, this is all about
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:50
			madrasahs, and MK Dubs and Islamic
schools as such, especially for
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:54
			our children in this country. What
I'm going to speak to you today is
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:57
			I'm going to, I'm going to look at
the development of the whole
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:04
			maktab or madrasa process for the
early centuries of Islam. This
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:08
			gives us an understanding that we
are not alone in this. This is
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:12
			something that our forebears had
begun something that they paid
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:15
			great attention to. And you'll
see, when we look at the different
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:19
			incidents and account of this,
you'll see how much of an
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:20
			importance was placed into this.
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:23
			The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam.
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:28
			If we look at his command for
children, because this is all
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:31
			about children, mockups generally
are to do with children. Just
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:36
			before I get into that discussion,
there's a few things here. The
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:42
			words we're looking at is madrasa.
The word madrasa is in Arabic, a
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:47
			word that comes from the root of
Doris, or Darwaza, that also means
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:52
			to study. madrasa means the place
where study takes place,
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:57
			a place in which you do studies,
that's why it's called madrasa
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:03
			have a very similar word in
Hebrew, they call it Midrash. A
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:08
			lot of their scenes become sheens.
There's this Midrash. So you have
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:09
			madrasah.
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:12
			They also call it Kutub.
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:17
			Again, from the word cateva. To
right, gettable, so you have
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:20
			madressa and you have cooked up
and different parts of the world
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:24
			will use these different terms.
The word mother says a very
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:27
			generous a general term it just
means a school it means any place
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:30
			where some kinds of study and
teaching is taking place
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:35
			in our communities. A madrasa is a
place where the dean is studied.
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:39
			You go to Arab countries and you
say madrasa have this that and the
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:44
			other and it could be secular
studies on a lower level, Jammie
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:48
			Jammie, generally University. So
that's just to familiarize
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:52
			ourselves with it. However, Kitab
is generally where young people
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:56
			study young children study. That's
called Liquid tub.
		
00:03:57 --> 00:04:00
			The Prophet sallallahu aneurysms
guidance in this regard, if we're
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:04
			to trace it back to him, the
Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam, he
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:08
			commanded the La ilaha illallah is
the first thing that should be
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:13
			instilled in any child straight
after birth. So as soon as the
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:18
			child is born, we are commanded.
And that's the Islamic tradition
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:24
			that we say the Athan, the word of
Allah goes and enters the ear and
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:28
			thus reminds the child who has
just come from having witnessed
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:31
			Allah subhanho wa Taala in the
island of Aurora in the realm of
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:35
			the souls of the Covenant allow us
to be rabbinical.
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:41
			So the first thing La Ilaha illa
Allah and the last thing is also
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:44
			La ilaha illAllah. Whoever dies
with La Ilaha illa Allah has their
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:49
			final words they enter into Jana.
So that's how it wants to Allah
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:53
			subhanaw taala wants us to begin
to start with the word of Allah
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:57
			and end with Allah and everything
else then inshallah in between
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			will be with Allah subhanho wa
Taala as well.
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:08
			That's why Abdullah Hypno salah,
he relates to the Allahu on the
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:11
			sahaba. And tambourine, they used
to make their children
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:18
			read La ilaha illallah, seven
times, when they first began to
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:23
			speak, when they could start
saying words, the first thing they
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:28
			tried to get them to say, before
you're about a me, Mummy, Papa,
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:32
			and all of these other things that
we have is La Ilaha illa Allah.
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:36
			I'm telling you this from
experience that is not something
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:41
			difficult. The word hola is such a
easy, natural
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:47
			word that doesn't require the
parsing of the lips. It requires
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:52
			just the emptiness of the mouth to
say hola, hola. You can't even
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:55
			tell that my lips are moving to
say a word. You can just hear the
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:59
			sound, Allah. And it's something
that children can pick up very
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:03
			quickly even before they learn to
speak as long as you repeated it a
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:06
			few times in them. Now we are
speaking about madrasahs here,
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:11
			right I know you've come here to
to this madrasa opening in which
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:12
			we're going to be
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:18
			the teaching Quran and various
different sciences of Islam and so
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:23
			on. But we're going right back to
the beginning. That if the
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:28
			beginning and the foundation can
be like this, then everything else
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:30
			that proceeds from they will have
that Baraka because the name of
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:34
			Allah is full of Baraka. According
to scholars like Razali Imam
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:38
			Ghazali Rahim Allah he says that
even if the name of Allah is
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:42
			taken, with absolutely no
concentration or presence of the
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:45
			mind is just Allah you say, that
will still have the benefits.
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:50
			That still has its benefit. That's
how powerful this word is.
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:54
			Intrinsically. It's the Great Name
of Allah, that Allah Hill out of
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:58
			them, according to many scholars,
and it has real power. If we can
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:01
			get our little children you just
have to sit down say hola, hola,
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:05
			hola. And they will say Allah,
then when they actually start
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:08
			speaking, get them to c'est la
ilaha illa Allah. So according to
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:11
			this narration, this is what the
Sahaba used to do. They would get
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:14
			them to say so say de la ilaha
illallah seven times.
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:18
			During the time of Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:24
			terms of separate madrasas. There
was no such concept. There was a
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:28
			mother of the madrasa to sofa in
which you had the Greek students
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:32
			like Abu Huraira or the Allahu
Allah. The Prophet sallallahu
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:36
			sallam was the teacher 24 hours
timetable, no kitchen facilities,
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:40
			no dormitories, it was just
whatever happened, whatever came
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:45
			along. And the examiner was Allah
subhanaw taala Willa equilibrium,
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:48
			Johanna Allahu lubomirski Taqwa.
So that was a separate mother
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:52
			herself. However, because the
whole lifestyle in those days in
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:55
			that initial period, especially
the whole lifestyle, the whole
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:59
			ethos, the whole outlook, the
whole motivation for life, as you
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:02
			know, from the stories of the
Sahaba, it was all for the sake of
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:06
			Allah. So anything that the Sahaba
they learned from Rasulullah
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:09
			sallallahu Sallam in the adult
gatherings as such, and there will
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:12
			be children, some children present
there as well. But they would go
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:16
			and impart this into the lives of
their children in the towel
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:18
			Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam as I
mentioned, because the entire
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:23
			ethos, the entire focus, they
lived Islam, as you know, the way
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:27
			they learned their soldiers, were
by practice, not just by
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:31
			memorization, not knowing what
they mean, they actually learned
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:33
			it through practice. And that
means all of that was being
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:37
			imparted into their homes as well.
So there wasn't really much of a
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:41
			need, felt at the time to have
separate places for children to
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:42
			study. However,
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:44
			it was.
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:48
			Children would sometimes attend
the gatherings and sometimes with
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:52
			the delegations that came from
outside from the expanded areas
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:55
			within the Arabian Peninsula, they
would come and they would also
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:58
			study, they would also come with
the delegation. So children were
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:03
			always part of the deal as such,
Roma are the Allahu Anhu. It's
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:06
			him. Now. You see, when we move on
from Rasulullah Salah some time to
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:11
			Abu Bakr, Siddiq, or the Allah on
time Abubaker there was time was
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:15
			mainly focused on trying to bring
back the order in the Arabian
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:19
			Peninsula after a number of people
had a plasticize number of
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:23
			claimants to Prophet prophethood
had come up. And then they were
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:28
			the battles on the two fronts, one
in the Persian lands had been
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:31
			worried and so on. And then on the
other hand, we had sham will obey
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:36
			the immune Jabra and others. So
that's what he was laying the
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:40
			foundation for stability. After
the Prophet saw somebody parts in
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:42
			this world. When Amara, the Allahu
Anhu came up,
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:47
			and he became the Khalif that's
when a huge amount of development
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:51
			took place. And part of that
development is that no no longer
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:55
			are there people who are like
Sahaba right, who whose full ethos
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:59
			may be that it is completely Quran
and Sunnah in their homes as
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:03
			such Islam had spread far and
wide. So now they required a
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:07
			special learning system. And
that's why in Madina, Munawwara
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:11
			O'Meara the Allahu Anhu is the
founder of the Makati the mucked
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:15
			up the plural muckety muck, the
good mcurtin Whatever you want to
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:19
			call it, he is you can say the
founder of the system
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:24
			in Madina, Munawwara for example
in the Mohalla of Hypno hasm and
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:28
			also in console or mal there's a
narration from what do you need?
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:33
			Not at all. Who relates that Ghana
Bill Medina, Salah, her two more
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:38
			alanine they they were in Madina
Munawwara three teachers. These
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:41
			were the first three mock them
teachers the such three mock them
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:45
			teachers in Madina Munawwara you
only Munna CBM they will teach the
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:50
			children for Ghana. Amara years
Zuko Kula Haman whom Hamsa Tasha
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:53
			Kula Shahar, Amara, the Allah and
given that would give them a
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:56
			stipend their pay their wage was
50 What was a
		
00:10:57 --> 00:11:02
			15 Durham's a month that will be
so they were being paid for it.
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:07
			Many people think that these
automa they should just do
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:08
			everything for free.
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:11
			The money will just come from
Allah somehow.
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:19
			Zuid Zuhal an abstention from the
world is a personal thing. You
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:20
			can't force it on somebody else.
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:25
			If somebody wants to do it
themselves, that's up to them. If
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:27
			a teacher wants to take all of his
wealth and give it out in the path
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:32
			of Allah that's up to him. You pay
them what the due amount is to be
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:36
			paid. Then you get product you get
a good results and a good
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:37
			production.
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:43
			So the three they were omitted no
Abdullah Al Kuzari. There was a
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:46
			banana al Wallaby and an abuse of
yarn.
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:53
			There was one whose name was Ahmed
he used to teach all day.
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:58
			This Ameer Abdullah Jose he used
to teach all day until he had no
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:02
			time to do anything else. So then
he went and complaints or Omar the
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:06
			alarm shortened his time because
they probably had several classes
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:08
			10s of classes a day where they
were teaching all day maybe
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:10
			children coming and going coming
and going.
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:13
			So Omar will be alone shorten this
time.
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:18
			Amara, the Allahu Anhu he would
select the best and the most
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:21
			proficient and expert individuals
to teach.
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:28
			Once there was a desert Arab
Bedouin, he came along and he
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:34
			recited a verse of the Quran in
Allaha burry, and in Allah but eel
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:40
			Meenal mashallah Kena what a SULI
that's how he read it. In the
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:43
			Quran is actually what a Zulu.
What it means is that Allah
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:44
			subhanaw taala
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:51
			verily, indeed, Allah has
exonerated himself from the
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:54
			Mushrikeen he has got nothing to
do with the machine, the policies,
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:58
			what are SULI if you read rosulip
It means and from His Messenger,
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:02
			that Allah has nothing to do with
His Messenger, great blasphemy.
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:05
			major mistake. So,
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:11
			Amara, the Allahu Allah when he
found out he asked him, why has
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:15
			Allah exonerated himself from the
messenger? So he explained the
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:19
			incident. And then Amara, the
Allahu Anhu taught him that the
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:24
			correct word is what a su, which
means, verily, Allah and His
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:28
			Messenger, they exonerate
themselves from the Mushrikeen
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:33
			makes a massive difference just by
changing a Dhamma for orchestra,
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:38
			a pitch for a zeal it's as simple
as that, but it changes the
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:39
			meaning completely around.
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:47
			So Omar, the Allahu Anhu then made
a an order he said, Now you law
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:52
			you Creole Quran Ihlara naman,
beluga T. Nobody should teach the
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:57
			Quran except the one who knows the
language, who understands it. Now,
		
00:13:57 --> 00:14:00
			these people, I mean, what I can't
understand what what I find it
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:04
			difficult to understand is that
these were Arabs. And they made
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:04
			this mistake.
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:08
			And they could understand the
meaning. So what were they
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:12
			thinking about? But then that
tells us that we majority of our
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:16
			community doesn't understand
Arabic at all. So can you imagine
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:21
			what kind of really crazy mistakes
we must be making? If that's a
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:24
			missile mistake us that could sit
by with them who understood the
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:28
			language? Can you imagine what
kind of mistakes we make? And
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:32
			seriously, there are some severe
mistakes that we make. Once in the
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:36
			mythos during hygiene, I believe
it was during Hajj.
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:40
			There was a woman shouting out
loudly she's leading her little
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:44
			group into us. She shouldn't have
been doing that to start with, but
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:49
			she's saying Allahumma asila ne yo
Mala Zilla in LA Z look
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:54
			with the DA is actually Allahumma
of Villa Neoma Allahumma villainy,
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:59
			yo Mala Villa Illa will look.
She's saying Allahumma Zeleny
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:00
			instead of
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:01
			We're learning
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:07
			right VA instead of Tsar and you
know the mistake, she is the dua
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:10
			is oh Allah grant me shade on the
day to end the day when there's no
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:11
			shade except your shade.
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:18
			Beautiful door. She's saying Oh
ALLAH caused me to slip on the day
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:20
			when there's no slipping except
you're slipping Yala.
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:24
			She was the distance from me so I
couldn't really tell him I was
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:27
			like, Come on, man. What? Right in
front of the camera? Where do I
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:28
			was accepted.
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:32
			Of course Allah subhanaw taala
understands and hopefully
		
00:15:32 --> 00:15:35
			overlooked the mistake. But it's
sad case.
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:39
			Just for the benefit of the adults
because while we're all focused on
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:43
			our children, unfortunately many
of us didn't have very good MCQs
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:49
			many of many of our elders my age
older than me, some even younger
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:50
			than me.
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:55
			Our Tajweed is quite
unsatisfactory, to say the least.
		
00:15:56 --> 00:16:01
			We read Quran in Urdu, meaning we
in Arabic we are do accent,
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:06
			Pakistani accent, Gujarati accent,
Bangladeshi accent, that's what we
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:11
			do. And we mess it up. For
example, the word collarbone.
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:14
			Collarbone is different from
Kilbourne
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:17
			for many people, what's the
difference? So all the same?
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:22
			Collarbone, Kilbourne what the
first one means a heart. The
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:24
			second one means a dog.
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:28
			What a difference. And there's so
many words like this Arabic is
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:33
			very sensitive. It's a very
accurate, very perfect language,
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:36
			very sophisticated, anything
slipped from here today makes a
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:40
			big mistake. So now that we are
interested in our children going
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:43
			to Madras, mashallah, we've
celebrating that aspect, we also
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:46
			need to correct our touch, we'll
have it tested by somebody and
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:50
			attend some classes. You guys have
scheduled classes here for adults,
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:53
			okay, so let me promote that for
you, then you have, they have
		
00:16:53 --> 00:16:56
			three classes here. And you should
definitely take them it makes a
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:59
			difference. Inshallah, within a
month, if you've got the right
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:03
			teacher, you will improve, and the
critical mistakes will be
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:06
			minimized. Otherwise, for the rest
of our life, we're making
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:08
			mistakes. So
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:13
			that's why Almighty Allah wanted
the best of the people to teach so
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:16
			that they knew what to teach and
how to teach it.
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:18
			And
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:23
			he used to say, he used to
encourage that people should teach
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:27
			the three while more facile first,
which are the longest sort of some
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:33
			sort of gerat. He, they should
teach those first, because they
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:34
			easier to read
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:38
			the last sutras there, sometimes,
sometimes a bit more complicated
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:43
			term, if you if you master the
last juice of the Quran, from ama
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:46
			dishonouring. To the end, you
should be able to read any part of
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:47
			the Quran afterwards.
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:51
			And this is I'm telling you this
from experience.
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:55
			I was teaching some children when
I was when I was an imam in
		
00:17:55 --> 00:17:59
			America. I taught some children,
but I was very rigorous. I didn't
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:03
			let them go ahead unless they
really knew that the jewel of ama
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:07
			one father came in he said that my
daughter she's eight years old or
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:10
			something now, she's not
progressing at all. You're still
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:11
			on AMA.
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:14
			Now I'd never done this before,
but I said okay, come here, sit
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:19
			down. I call his daughter over.
She just did an AMA, but properly
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:23
			solid. I picked up the Quran and
opened it in the middle. She had
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:26
			never read the Quran before
meaning, you know, the whole Quran
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:29
			she was always on Amma sabara
which were not on Quran. Yeah,
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:33
			this Quran Ran is the last part of
the Quran. Anyway, I picked it up
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:34
			and I said read from here.
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:39
			And she her name is Leila. Leila
read from here. And she started
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:43
			reading. Not only this, she
surprised me but she surprised her
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:46
			father. I said you can open up any
part of the Quran she'll be able
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:46
			to read it.
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:54
			Any kid who know who who's got a
decent ability to read in general,
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:58
			some people are a bit weak in
reading in general, any language.
		
00:18:58 --> 00:19:02
			Very clever, but they're a bit
reading is for minority of
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:05
			students. But any shoeless is
good. And you teach them Amal?
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:09
			Well, they should be yes, there's
going to be some other few words
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:12
			here and there that will be
complicated, but in general, they
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:17
			should they should be able to read
the Quran. He gave special orders
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:21
			and he had copies of the Quran
produced
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:24
			and this was later on.
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:29
			Later on in the during the whole
of our time. They had copies of
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:32
			the Quran produced and spread
around the Muslim lands.
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:38
			They were about 100,000 Moose
house Quran basically we call them
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:41
			Quran but Quran is actually the
wording. The real word for it is
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:47
			moose half in Yemen, Sham Iraq
missile, etc. Well, he didn't know
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:51
			Abdul Malik, who's the what he did
not have the money and Medicaid
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:56
			number one son, one of the Omega
beliefs. He had special teachers
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:57
			for orphans.
		
00:19:59 --> 00:20:00
			They focus in
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:02
			We're talking about disabled
people and looking after
		
00:20:02 --> 00:20:05
			Unfortunately, many of our Muslim
countries right now, don't really
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:09
			worry about them right now. But
this was in those times when in
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:13
			the, during the Obama years, you
had, well, he did not Abdulmalik
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:16
			having special teachers for
orphans as well.
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:22
			In order to maintain the
tradition,
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:30
			he initiated the stipends. This
was Omar, the Allah one, he
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:34
			initiated the stipends. So in 20,
Hijiri,
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:41
			he center in the 20th century, he
sent an order to all of his eMeals
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:45
			all of his governors, and the
leaders of the different governors
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:49
			in the different parts of the
Muslim world. And he said that
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:58
			you need to start giving stipends,
for anybody who teaches. Some of
		
00:20:58 --> 00:21:01
			the leaders wrote back and said,
then they're not going to have a
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:05
			class, they won't do it sincerely,
they're going to do it for the
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:08
			money. And you know, this
discussion about whether you do it
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:10
			for money or whatever that's been
happening. It's as old as
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:11
			humanity.
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:18
			Some said that they just gonna
come for the stipend. He said, You
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:21
			give it to them, based on the
categories of now look at the
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:25
			category of how you give how you
pay somebody, he said, give it to
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:30
			them based on these three
categories, shut off, Maru, and
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:34
			Sahaba sabia right, which
basically means you give it to
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:36
			them based on their personal
standing and dignity, their
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:40
			chivalry, how good they are, how
fair they are, how decent they
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:43
			are, if they have common social
decency, decency, that's what you
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:48
			call Maru. Sraffa nobility. And
number three Sahaba, if there were
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:53
			Sahaba of the Prophet salallahu
Salam. And you can see that each
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:56
			one of them has its own benefit,
because always the
		
00:21:57 --> 00:22:00
			whatever however, the teacher is
their behavior, their conduct, it
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:03
			rubs off on the children. So if
you've got somebody who's
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:08
			literally just working outside,
until five o'clock rushes to get
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:11
			to the mucked up, gets there 315
You know, our mucked up generally
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:13
			start at five o'clock. And they
want to do it just for an extra
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:19
			80 100 pound a week. And they're
tired. And they just like, No,
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:23
			they just, they don't really pay
attention. But I've been a
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:26
			principal of Manitoba and I can
tell you that we've seen all of
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:29
			these things, then that is just
really sad.
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:34
			Unfortunately, our dilemma is we
don't have enough Alama who want
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:35
			to teach
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:41
			that we can be choosy and picky
about who we take. Sometimes in
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:44
			where I was, I had to literally
take whoever came in for an
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:45
			interview,
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:48
			whether they were good or bad, I
just had to take them in because
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:51
			you had to sit somebody there. And
that was the sad case.
		
00:22:54 --> 00:22:58
			One of the reasons that I left the
whole principle thing, somebody
		
00:22:58 --> 00:23:00
			has to do it, but the reason I
left is because I just couldn't
		
00:23:00 --> 00:23:01
			get my vision through.
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:05
			Because you don't, there's just
not enough training. It's sad
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:09
			because in schools to become a
teacher, you have to go through a
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:12
			rigorous two three year program,
get your PG C's and all these
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:15
			other. And when it comes to Mother
Teresa, somebody's been in a
		
00:23:15 --> 00:23:18
			madrasah for six, seven years, and
then colors they can start
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:21
			teaching. Teaching is different
from learning. You may be a good
		
00:23:21 --> 00:23:24
			learner, you may not be a good
teacher, teacher requires
		
00:23:24 --> 00:23:25
			interaction with children.
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:30
			It requires a certain psychology,
certain understanding of a mindset
		
00:23:30 --> 00:23:34
			requires experience. And it's the
whole science behind it. And I
		
00:23:34 --> 00:23:37
			think now that Alhamdulillah in
this country, we have at least
		
00:23:37 --> 00:23:42
			three or four syllabus syllabi
produced or being produced or
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:47
			newly produced, and I think, which
is very good. Competition refines
		
00:23:47 --> 00:23:50
			the process of Hamdulillah. The
next thing we need to do is we
		
00:23:50 --> 00:23:55
			need to, we need to up the game
and have training centers for
		
00:23:55 --> 00:23:59
			teachers for mucked up teachers.
But you're not going to be able to
		
00:23:59 --> 00:24:03
			do this until mucked up, stop
paying good amount of money, then
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:06
			they can demand the best. It's a
vicious cycle. We can't get
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:10
			teachers brothers, how much are
you paying? seven pound an hour?
		
00:24:12 --> 00:24:16
			Right? If you're lucky 10 pounds
an hour. If you're lucky. I
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:19
			personally believe McTell should
be paid a lot more than that.
		
00:24:20 --> 00:24:24
			Because this is a very specialist
work. You should pay 1520 pounds
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:25
			an hour this is what I believe
		
00:24:27 --> 00:24:32
			this is what I believe, but they
should demand the best and nothing
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:33
			but the best.
		
00:24:35 --> 00:24:36
			Okay, so now
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:46
			Omar Abdulaziz he did the same. He
further developed the system. And
		
00:24:46 --> 00:24:50
			he said that take care of them.
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:55
			Take care of them of these
teachers and the students so that
		
00:24:55 --> 00:24:56
			they will
		
00:24:57 --> 00:24:59
			study and teach properly. This is
Amara
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:03
			Abdelaziz it figured this out
already. Somehow we've
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:09
			retrogressed and then he said, if
not above, so the Allahu Anhu said
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:12
			that there are certain things that
are necessary.
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:16
			There are certain things that are
necessary.
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:21
			Three things that are unnecessary.
This is related by Imam Hakeem
		
00:25:22 --> 00:25:27
			buying and selling of most house,
they should be an industry that
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:30
			buys and sells basically produces
most health.
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:36
			Korans, that's very important for
our immune system to continue. So
		
00:25:36 --> 00:25:41
			that's one thing number two, he
said, the reading and teaching of
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:41
			the Quran.
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:46
			Sorry, if the mishaps are not
sold, and you don't have copies,
		
00:25:46 --> 00:25:49
			then how you're going to locate
how you're going to teach this.
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:52
			And
		
00:25:56 --> 00:26:00
			the other thing he said is that,
while Abdullah Nasimi more
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:00
			unlimited.
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:09
			People should have teachers that
teach their children way up who do
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:15
			Allah Donica agilon. And they also
they paid for it. They're not paid
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:18
			for it. They're not answerable.
You can't make them accountable.
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:23
			It's I'm teaching, it's my, it's
my, you know, take it or leave it.
		
00:26:24 --> 00:26:30
			And that's a really bad psychology
to deal with. So if you they paid
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:32
			well, and there are a number of
Muslims that I know around the
		
00:26:32 --> 00:26:35
			country that charge well, but they
teach well, because they can
		
00:26:35 --> 00:26:38
			attract the best teachers, and
they can attract the best parents
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:42
			who are concerned about their
children, their pain, they they're
		
00:26:42 --> 00:26:46
			going to, they're going to hold
the teachers into account. That's
		
00:26:46 --> 00:26:50
			why Omar Abdullah Abdullah Aziz,
then he said, Well, Hola, Danica
		
00:26:50 --> 00:26:55
			mccannon, Nurse Amin, if it is not
for this proper setup and the
		
00:26:55 --> 00:26:59
			system, having books available,
and having good teachers,
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:06
			then people will remain
unlettered, they will not know how
		
00:27:06 --> 00:27:07
			to read and write.
		
00:27:09 --> 00:27:15
			Say the people who say, the great
Derby and great Hadith scholar. He
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:17
			was going past the Khattab,
Omarosa
		
00:27:18 --> 00:27:22
			and he said he remarked her Willa
E. A Nashoba. Donna, these are the
		
00:27:22 --> 00:27:25
			people that are our next
generation they're going to
		
00:27:26 --> 00:27:29
			carry on after us is related in
the Takata human side.
		
00:27:30 --> 00:27:33
			Mr. Malik, Mr. Malik says that
		
00:27:34 --> 00:27:37
			I don't really like these dots in
the Quran that differentiate the
		
00:27:37 --> 00:27:38
			butter and thug.
		
00:27:40 --> 00:27:43
			And the gem HA and HA, I don't
like these dots and these other
		
00:27:43 --> 00:27:44
			symbols that they have in the
Quran.
		
00:27:45 --> 00:27:48
			But I guess it's okay for children
who said it helps them to read.
		
00:27:49 --> 00:27:53
			And today, I guess there's nobody
very few scholars in the world
		
00:27:53 --> 00:27:56
			working, who could actually read
read the authentic script that
		
00:27:56 --> 00:27:59
			doesn't have any dots because the
weight of man or the Allah one who
		
00:27:59 --> 00:28:02
			had it written, it was without
dots, we could not tell the
		
00:28:02 --> 00:28:06
			difference between bad data and
thought that it was just the
		
00:28:06 --> 00:28:11
			shape, there was no dots above or
below. That was something they say
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:15
			hydrogen, the use of added when
Islam spread far and wide, and
		
00:28:15 --> 00:28:17
			people were finding it difficult
now to read. So then the judge
		
00:28:17 --> 00:28:19
			came up with this idea. This is
one of his accomplishments.
		
00:28:21 --> 00:28:25
			And now we have all sorts of stuff
written in there. I remember when
		
00:28:25 --> 00:28:27
			I was in Syria, really shake up
the Rosabel Halaby. He took all
		
00:28:27 --> 00:28:31
			the mistakes, I made a little
pencil mark on the side. And one
		
00:28:31 --> 00:28:34
			of the students actually says,
hola, hola, Cote. LaVilla What are
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:38
			you doing? You're writing in the
Quran is really bad. And, you
		
00:28:38 --> 00:28:43
			know, for us in our business that
they, they they use, generally
		
00:28:43 --> 00:28:46
			they use pencil, but Subhanallah
there are some people use pen, red
		
00:28:46 --> 00:28:52
			pens, scarring the Quran for life.
I think that's completely wrong.
		
00:28:52 --> 00:28:57
			They use big, big pens to to make
the mistakes, what's his balloon
		
00:28:57 --> 00:28:57
			zone?
		
00:28:59 --> 00:29:03
			Now, you know, when people used to
start reading, when they would
		
00:29:03 --> 00:29:06
			learn a few students, when you
finish the Quran, you should see
		
00:29:06 --> 00:29:09
			what kind of joy and happiness
people would express in those
		
00:29:09 --> 00:29:12
			days. Hamdulillah we have that as
well. But what I have seen is that
		
00:29:12 --> 00:29:15
			it's not as much as it used to be
before. And the reason is that we
		
00:29:15 --> 00:29:19
			have martial arts, so many other
MMA, so many movies, and all of
		
00:29:19 --> 00:29:24
			this in our community that it's
become like a norm. But believe
		
00:29:24 --> 00:29:27
			me, I have taught in places where
there was nothing. There was
		
00:29:27 --> 00:29:31
			nothing Subhanallah there is one
place that I taught one place I
		
00:29:31 --> 00:29:34
			was teaching in America, one of
the children.
		
00:29:35 --> 00:29:37
			He'd studied with me Tarly Mohawk
		
00:29:38 --> 00:29:43
			and his grandfather, then he left
a mother, a son, his grandfather
		
00:29:43 --> 00:29:49
			was on his deathbed. Nobody in his
nobody in his family knew what to
		
00:29:49 --> 00:29:53
			do. How to put him down how to
what to say to him, you know,
		
00:29:53 --> 00:29:56
			nobody, he remembered into animal
health. All of this. I've studied
		
00:29:56 --> 00:29:59
			that he got went and grabbed this
animal help and he
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:04
			Ready through under martial law,
he was able to save the day as
		
00:30:04 --> 00:30:04
			such.
		
00:30:05 --> 00:30:09
			They just don't know. There's a
lot of places like this. I'll give
		
00:30:09 --> 00:30:13
			you an idea when I went to
America. In our area, there was no
		
00:30:13 --> 00:30:17
			mucked up system at all. There was
something called a set Sunday
		
00:30:17 --> 00:30:21
			school, where no Ireland, just one
of the concerned brothers of the
		
00:30:21 --> 00:30:24
			community, you know, one of the
Bachata concern brothers that he
		
00:30:24 --> 00:30:27
			would go and teach them so you
tell him a story. It read me read
		
00:30:27 --> 00:30:29
			a bit of Quran. And if it's
		
00:30:30 --> 00:30:33
			right, teach you a bit of Arabic.
And then by next week, they
		
00:30:33 --> 00:30:36
			forgotten also teach them again,
crazy.
		
00:30:37 --> 00:30:38
			So
		
00:30:39 --> 00:30:43
			I'm saying that we are going to
start a mucked up here. Nobody
		
00:30:43 --> 00:30:46
			wants to come, oh, they're going
to be so tired from school. Eight
		
00:30:46 --> 00:30:49
			hours in school, how are they
going to come and do this
		
00:30:49 --> 00:30:53
			Alhamdulillah I had a few families
about three or four families very
		
00:30:53 --> 00:30:56
			dedicated. They said we'll send
our children so that's fine. We
		
00:30:56 --> 00:30:58
			started with about 1520 children.
		
00:31:00 --> 00:31:04
			After six months or so, what
happened is we kept a program in
		
00:31:04 --> 00:31:08
			which we got all of the children
to read
		
00:31:09 --> 00:31:12
			the miracle for them. And the
community. They were just like,
		
00:31:12 --> 00:31:16
			Wow, how'd you do this. So then
they started this in sending their
		
00:31:16 --> 00:31:16
			children.
		
00:31:17 --> 00:31:21
			So we got more it went up to 25 or
30 or something like this. But
		
00:31:21 --> 00:31:24
			that's how you have to do it, you
have to bring in the tradition we
		
00:31:24 --> 00:31:25
			have the traditional Hamdulillah.
		
00:31:27 --> 00:31:31
			So they would get really really
excited, very happy when they
		
00:31:31 --> 00:31:34
			would when they would see that
somebody has achieved something.
		
00:31:35 --> 00:31:38
			For example, when the Khalifa Al
Mahdi,
		
00:31:39 --> 00:31:40
			his son,
		
00:31:41 --> 00:31:42
			he
		
00:31:45 --> 00:31:50
			started to learn law oxime will be
handled balance. He went on to
		
00:31:50 --> 00:31:54
			start reading law oxy will be
handled but by the age of five,
		
00:31:54 --> 00:31:58
			which is quite good. By the age of
five, the auction will be handled
		
00:31:58 --> 00:32:03
			but he gave 100,000 bid homes in
South Africa
		
00:32:04 --> 00:32:10
			100,000 dirhams in South Africa.
And seven, he gave 500
		
00:32:12 --> 00:32:19
			slaves he emancipated 500 slaves.
He was so excited. This was the
		
00:32:19 --> 00:32:22
			respect that they had. This was
the respect for the Quran that
		
00:32:22 --> 00:32:22
			they had.
		
00:32:24 --> 00:32:25
			Haroon Rashid
		
00:32:30 --> 00:32:37
			he gave obey the Abner Armadyl
have one of the teachers 70,000
		
00:32:37 --> 00:32:39
			dirhams when his son
		
00:32:42 --> 00:32:45
			Mohammed was taught sort of Al
Hadid by him
		
00:32:46 --> 00:32:50
			so they would actually reward
their teachers like this as well
		
00:32:51 --> 00:33:00
			have ignored he sham says that in
our times a child could read 1/3
		
00:33:00 --> 00:33:01
			of the Quran,
		
00:33:02 --> 00:33:05
			tutor teacher without a single
mistake.
		
00:33:07 --> 00:33:10
			That's not bad at all. We have
that today as well. In some
		
00:33:10 --> 00:33:13
			places. There's some madrasahs
like Medusa Korea in
		
00:33:14 --> 00:33:17
			in South Africa. And I think
darlin, Blackburn and other places
		
00:33:17 --> 00:33:21
			where they get the children to
read the entire Quran in one or
		
00:33:21 --> 00:33:24
			two sittings, and they don't want
more than one or two mistakes. And
		
00:33:24 --> 00:33:27
			that's a possibility even today,
Mashallah.
		
00:33:29 --> 00:33:34
			a four year old, a four year old
was brought into the court of
		
00:33:34 --> 00:33:36
			Munna Rashid, Harun Rashid son.
		
00:33:37 --> 00:33:40
			When he was the Hadith, he had
read the Quran.
		
00:33:42 --> 00:33:43
			He also knew some fic
		
00:33:47 --> 00:33:49
			but he would cry when he was
hungry.
		
00:33:51 --> 00:33:54
			Still a child. He would cry when
he's hungry.
		
00:33:55 --> 00:33:58
			The call the Abu Mohammed Abdullah
Abdullah Abdullah Mohammed Al Asad
		
00:33:58 --> 00:34:00
			Rouhani. He says that
		
00:34:01 --> 00:34:04
			I had memorized the Quran by the
age of five.
		
00:34:06 --> 00:34:13
			And at four, I went to the modulus
of Abu Bakr Al McCray,
		
00:34:14 --> 00:34:15
			a hadith scholar.
		
00:34:16 --> 00:34:19
			I wanted to study Hadith with him,
my father, my mother, whatever
		
00:34:19 --> 00:34:23
			sent me to him and all the people
surrounding he says no, he
		
00:34:23 --> 00:34:25
			shouldn't be allowed here is a
child he shouldn't be allowed
		
00:34:25 --> 00:34:25
			here.
		
00:34:27 --> 00:34:29
			Don't teach him so Abu Bakr said
to me
		
00:34:30 --> 00:34:33
			that really sort of caffeine.
		
00:34:34 --> 00:34:36
			So I read through through Kathy
rune
		
00:34:37 --> 00:34:38
			then he said
		
00:34:39 --> 00:34:44
			read sort of the cathode. So I
read MacArthur is give me easy
		
00:34:44 --> 00:34:45
			Soros right
		
00:34:46 --> 00:34:49
			but then another person he said no
read Walmart Salah to your Orpha
		
00:34:50 --> 00:34:54
			so easy stuff, we will read one
more salad, good job and you say
		
00:34:54 --> 00:34:55
			why no limit of 15
		
00:34:57 --> 00:35:00
			so I read that we
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:04
			Not a single mistake. That's not
bad. Right? People get stuck in
		
00:35:04 --> 00:35:05
			the beginning or morcilla to
golfer.
		
00:35:06 --> 00:35:09
			And after that it will buckle and
mockery said, Let him stay late
		
00:35:09 --> 00:35:14
			and listen, I'm responsible for
him. So, you we've had this
		
00:35:14 --> 00:35:18
			tradition from the past. And that
is the only way this Omar has
		
00:35:18 --> 00:35:19
			continued this way.
		
00:35:20 --> 00:35:25
			Just to give you an idea, there
are some there are a number of
		
00:35:25 --> 00:35:29
			places that I have been in other
countries generally, where the
		
00:35:29 --> 00:35:34
			because the children have not had
any upbringing in Islam, except
		
00:35:35 --> 00:35:37
			the fact that they know that
they're Muslim.
		
00:35:38 --> 00:35:43
			And what Muslim means is that we
go for Eid prayer. And in Ramadan,
		
00:35:44 --> 00:35:50
			we, the adults fast, nothing more
than that. They can you believe
		
00:35:50 --> 00:35:53
			it. They don't even know the
Kalam. They know they go for Eid
		
00:35:53 --> 00:35:58
			prayer. They go to Ramadan, but
they don't know the Kenema.
		
00:35:59 --> 00:36:04
			It's never a focus. This one woman
that we met, I had gone to give a
		
00:36:04 --> 00:36:09
			talk in one of the universities in
Arizona. And they told me that
		
00:36:09 --> 00:36:15
			this sister only discovered other
Muslims outside of her family when
		
00:36:15 --> 00:36:19
			she came to university, and she
became practicing. Because her
		
00:36:19 --> 00:36:22
			father's a doctor in some remote
place, and there's just no
		
00:36:22 --> 00:36:23
			exposure to it.
		
00:36:24 --> 00:36:26
			hamdulillah what we have is
amazing.
		
00:36:29 --> 00:36:32
			Many Muslim countries. My last
point here many Muslim countries
		
00:36:32 --> 00:36:37
			around the world, they incorporate
the Islamic learning in their
		
00:36:37 --> 00:36:41
			regular schools. This is a Muslim
country, Arab country, they don't
		
00:36:41 --> 00:36:45
			have a marked up system. There's
no focus study. It's just part of
		
00:36:45 --> 00:36:48
			the national curriculum. So you
got like a Quran study this study
		
00:36:48 --> 00:36:52
			or that study. And a lot of the
time, there's not much focus on
		
00:36:52 --> 00:36:53
			those lessons.
		
00:36:54 --> 00:36:58
			There's not much focus on those
lessons at all. The main focus is
		
00:36:58 --> 00:37:00
			all of the other signs and
whatever. So they can go to
		
00:37:00 --> 00:37:03
			London, and they can go to America
and other places, and Paris and
		
00:37:03 --> 00:37:07
			other places. So there's not much
focus on that. So that's really
		
00:37:07 --> 00:37:08
			sad.
		
00:37:09 --> 00:37:12
			Alhamdulillah in the subcontinent.
And this is not everywhere in the
		
00:37:12 --> 00:37:17
			subcontinent, by the way. But in a
number of states. I can speak for
		
00:37:17 --> 00:37:19
			India, I haven't been to
Bangladesh or Pakistan, so I can't
		
00:37:19 --> 00:37:23
			speak for them. But in India, some
states have a very good system.
		
00:37:23 --> 00:37:27
			And yet in other states, they
don't have a very good system. For
		
00:37:27 --> 00:37:31
			example, in Gujarat, and in many
parts in Maharashtra, and also in
		
00:37:31 --> 00:37:36
			Bangalore. They have school
separate the normal secular
		
00:37:36 --> 00:37:39
			schools separate, but then they
have a full mucked up system. And
		
00:37:39 --> 00:37:43
			it's always been the case. I
personally believe that this is
		
00:37:43 --> 00:37:47
			what was imported into the UK.
This whole system was imported
		
00:37:47 --> 00:37:49
			into the UK with our the first
people that came here,
		
00:37:50 --> 00:37:53
			unfortunately up it's different.
You either school, or you're
		
00:37:53 --> 00:37:55
			either madrasa.
		
00:37:56 --> 00:38:00
			I went to one mother as a one
young, young people's mother, and
		
00:38:01 --> 00:38:03
			all the kids are doing solid
leads.
		
00:38:04 --> 00:38:08
			That's impossible. How do you get
the jury that this age so well.
		
00:38:09 --> 00:38:12
			And then I discovered that they
only do mothers or they do nothing
		
00:38:12 --> 00:38:16
			else six hours in madrasah. You
can get them to learn everything
		
00:38:17 --> 00:38:21
			if you're going to do that. So in
sum like up where the big deal
		
00:38:21 --> 00:38:24
			been than all that is,
unfortunately,
		
00:38:26 --> 00:38:30
			you either take the school tract,
or you take the Dini track,
		
00:38:31 --> 00:38:35
			you don't combine the two that
creates a
		
00:38:37 --> 00:38:41
			divorce between Allah Ma and the
so called University crowd.
		
00:38:42 --> 00:38:44
			And that is not healthy at all.
		
00:38:46 --> 00:38:49
			Alhamdulillah in England, we
haven't done this. We have school
		
00:38:49 --> 00:38:50
			and we have madrasa.
		
00:38:51 --> 00:38:56
			And that has to stay together. I
mean, something like maths, bit of
		
00:38:56 --> 00:39:01
			science, the language is
important. But because of the
		
00:39:01 --> 00:39:06
			colonial past, there is a
suspicion. Many people understand
		
00:39:06 --> 00:39:08
			the problem and they understand
the dilemma. They are trying to
		
00:39:08 --> 00:39:12
			change it and it is changing in
some places. But I'm just
		
00:39:12 --> 00:39:15
			mentioning these models to you.
Because if you have any connection
		
00:39:15 --> 00:39:19
			any of these places, maybe you can
do something about it. That's why
		
00:39:19 --> 00:39:21
			I'm mentioning these models for
us.
		
00:39:23 --> 00:39:23
			So
		
00:39:26 --> 00:39:30
			in Bangalore, for example, I was
at the headquarters of the maktab
		
00:39:30 --> 00:39:35
			had the amount of headquarters,
they want 6000 McDonald's around
		
00:39:35 --> 00:39:36
			the state
		
00:39:37 --> 00:39:41
			and it's all governed from this
one to 6000 not 15 not 20 not
		
00:39:41 --> 00:39:47
			106,000 They very good system they
bring everybody in to train them
		
00:39:47 --> 00:39:52
			they have the syllabus in the all
the local languages. They This is
		
00:39:52 --> 00:39:55
			India but mashallah very advanced
PowerPoint offices, you know, that
		
00:39:55 --> 00:39:59
			works and they do it very well. So
Alhamdulillah we do have these
		
00:39:59 --> 00:39:59
			models
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:04
			that ah Mashallah. And I think
England is doing very well in that
		
00:40:04 --> 00:40:08
			regard but we still we've, we've
we've got a number of places where
		
00:40:08 --> 00:40:11
			we can still help. So may Allah
subhanho wa Taala
		
00:40:12 --> 00:40:16
			grant all of those who came to
this country and were mashallah
		
00:40:16 --> 00:40:17
			had the,
		
00:40:19 --> 00:40:23
			the concern for this, to set all
of these mothers up, may Allah
		
00:40:23 --> 00:40:27
			protect these mothers, may Allah
subhanaw taala protect them from
		
00:40:27 --> 00:40:30
			all of the challenges that are out
there and that may come May Allah
		
00:40:30 --> 00:40:34
			subhanaw taala allow us to really
value them, build upon them. And
		
00:40:34 --> 00:40:37
			may Allah subhanho wa Taala reward
all of those have gone out into
		
00:40:37 --> 00:40:41
			other areas to do this. That's why
this madrasa here is fulfilling
		
00:40:41 --> 00:40:42
			the needs
		
00:40:43 --> 00:40:46
			any mother so you're open, you're
going to fulfill a need and you
		
00:40:46 --> 00:40:50
			have to identify these places
where this will happen. So may
		
00:40:50 --> 00:40:54
			Allah subhanho wa Taala rewards
our brother ShipIt and his family
		
00:40:54 --> 00:40:58
			who've started this place and may
Allah subhanho wa Taala take it
		
00:40:58 --> 00:41:02
			from strength to strength and may
Allah subhanaw taala allow us to
		
00:41:02 --> 00:41:06
			our children here to benefit from
this and granted all the
		
00:41:06 --> 00:41:11
			protection there is an accept us
all for the service of Allah's
		
00:41:11 --> 00:41:14
			Deen in some way or the other
pocket without when I'm doing it.
