00:04:15 --> 00:04:50
			this verse contrary to what people think it means. It talks about a specific relationship that
exists within the Ummah of Muhammad, Allah Salatu was Salam between those who preach and those who
listen. And it was started before this verse that existence towards the Nyssa is started and suited
to the Bacara when he says supine with Dinah, you are Latina, Manu, Loretta kulula In our column,
Gordon our smile, well, you can't fit in anymore. Those who believe don't say Latina, don't ask for
compromise within the law of Allah subhanaw taala the teachings, don't ask for things to change.
don't require your prophet to make things easier to get rid of some of the rulings or some of the
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:59
			laws that he brings to you from Allah. And if we don't vote on that and say we need some time, West
smile and we need you to listen to where it's difficult for us and this
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:30
			relationship was later explained in detail in the verse that I just recited for you from Surah Nisa.
Now we don't have enough time for just to start a new series because Ramadan is very, very close
nearby. I started the Ramadan prep series on February 23. Everything in the center from February 23,
basically till March 10 will be based on PrEP, preparing for Ramadan and sha Allah, whether it's the
weekend Halaqaat, the hot buzz, or the post Asia hot water. But until then we have a few weeks I'm
going to address a few things that I think are important and I think it's worth maybe talking about.
		
00:05:31 --> 00:06:01
			And the is noted in the side that explains what the relationship shouldn't be. It's actually quite
comprehensive. And I want you to understand it and listen to it. So he talks to me and Latina How do
you How did the funeral tell him I'm a welder. He talked about some people of the Book, the People
of the Book, who manipulated their text, and the mistake they made was the following is what they
said. They said, Send me I know what I'll say, you know, what's my video on was mine Marina, it said
four things. He said to me, I know we've heard what you've had to say they're speaking to their
Prophet to Musala Who said I'm well I'll tell you that but we don't accept all of it. What's my
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:36
			call, you're almost mine. But we want you speaking to Moose Ali salaam, again, to listen to us to
hear us even though we are refusing to basically listen to you, but we need to listen to us what are
you know, and some things have to change these commandments that you brought to difficult when you
need to change them, let them be seen at the hem Matana and 15. Playing around with words and poking
holes into the law that they were given by Allah subhana without as if to say that the law that they
were given by Allah was not good enough when I went to Hong Kong, however, however, what they should
have said was the following four things does that mean? I know I'll find out what's smart. Well, I'm
		
00:06:36 --> 00:07:12
			gonna if they said those things that kind of heilala will be better for them, help them establish
themselves. But they refuse and Allah subhanaw taala damned him and Kristen for it. So what are the
four things they should have said they should have said send me an outline first. We heard we
listened and we accept. That's what autonomies mean, this is not something that we can test. We
don't disagree, we don't refuse, we don't refute we don't dispute we accept it. What's not on board
now the second piece was smile on board but we need you to hear us out. And to give us time I'm
gonna give us time this relationship that exists within Islam is very specific and extremely
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:50
			important. And the reason it's there is because Allah used to assemble the final messenger there are
no messages to come after him it is Salatu was sent to this relationship between between the
congregation and their and their spiritual or religious leaders has to be based on this, this method
or or the scenario where your job is to say send me I know Aparna not to me to Allah subhana wa Tada
that we have listened to what Allah Subhana Allah is saying, and we accept it unconditionally. We
accept it, we have no, we have no conditions that we have no exceptions to the rule. And then what
you will say to me is what's my one vote no, but when you do to hear us, where are we our struggles
		
00:07:50 --> 00:08:25
			are where the challenges lie. What is difficult for us? Well, I'm gonna and for you to ask me to
give you time, meaning, we're not allowed as people who are spiritually or religiously trying to
educate and lead to judge others who aren't at the same level, where I've not catched catch up with
everyone else who are failing to hold themselves to a certain standard that Allah has found that
explained clearly in the book, it's not my job to hold you accountable for that or judge you for it.
That's your job. My job is to hear you out. And to see where it is that is hard for you to do. So
I'm going to give you time, I'm gonna give you a time. Because it will take time for people to
		
00:08:25 --> 00:09:00
			understand things, comprehend them, make the life adjustments that are required for them to follow
these rulings. This is the relationship that exists. This is how it existed for the Prophet alayhi.
Salatu was Salam as well. It's not different. This is not specific to how I'm supposed to be with
you. This is how the Prophet alayhi salam was was with all of us. He explained things. And some
people listened to all that he explained and did and some people didn't, he didn't judge them for
it. He just continued to see how it was he was going to help them figure out there a way to do it.
That's why even those who would cross the line that would require a public punishment, he still
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:36
			didn't hold it against them out against the law to withstand he didn't demonize them that he didn't
because he Muslim, the guy who who was lashed for public intoxication. One of the Sahaba stood there
and said and said instead of bad word about him, and if I said a Hola Hola Hola. Hola some bad thing
because how do you hold your tongue for Nila Allah, Allah? Allah, Allah, sunnah. All that I know of
this person is that he loves the Allah and His Prophet. This drunk this public drunk, he's getting a
testimony from the Prophet alayhi salatu salam that I can't even dream of. I wouldn't even dream of
getting something like that, nor you could. The Prophet Allah installs and testifies that you will
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:59
			love Allah and His Prophet that is anti nuclear. That's anti hypocrisy right there given to a public
drunk. Why? Because the Prophet alayhi salatu salam understood this relationship that we don't
understand very well. I have to understand it and so do you need a two way road in order for Islam
as a nation to prevail again, in order for us to fix things? It's a two way road. I am required to
do certain things.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:26
			I am required to listen to you to give you time, and you're required to accept Islam
unconditionally. And when I talk about something that is correct that you follow it, not because I
said it, I have no value in this story at all. I'm using myself as a symbol for those who speak to
people on monogamy, there's no value to me as a person at all, or in general, the value here is the
relationship between the nation the congregation, and those who are going to be bringing them to
knowledge that Allah subhanaw taala put in the book, it's a very specific relationship.
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:47
			My job is to preach only that which is clear, which is correct, which is what Allah subhanaw taala
wants you to hear your job is to listen to it accepted unconditionally, and then explain where it's
difficult and why is difficult to follow in detail. My job is to listen to you, and then to find you
ways to do it and give you time to achieve those goals. That is how this is done.
		
00:10:49 --> 00:11:16
			We do not walk around judging people who don't follow us down perfectly, we look for ways to help
them do it. Their job is to be open to that hope and to be open to give him that feedback and to
come to Islam as they are. But to Islam as it is. This is what Islam is it won't change for me or
for you. We're not looking for an Islam that will fit our personalities or fit our mentality. That's
not what Islam is, we have to change so that we've said what Islam is. But that takes time. And
that's okay.
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:46
			This is what we have to remind ourselves of within our community and within our own man general,
that this relationship has to be revived again, because it's not like that. It's one of two things,
either I turned into a show host of my liberal Jim hood, whatever the audience wants, and I figured
out what you want, and I say what you want, so that you like me, and I hold on to my position here,
and I'm able to hold on to it. But I can sit over there, no one kicks me out. Because I just say
what you want, whether it's right, whether it's wrong with this culturally appropriate,
inappropriate, there's religiously right or wrong, it doesn't make a difference, as long as the
		
00:11:46 --> 00:12:23
			majority likes it, so they can't kick me out, I stay there. And that is the demise of religion. In
general, if someone does that, or the opposite, or the opposite, I hold people to a standard that I
have no right to hold them to. I hold them to a standard that is unrealistic and inept and
inappropriate. Just because you're because I'm capable of practicing Islam in a certain way doesn't
mean that everyone was given that same life story that allowed them to reach that point, the same
thing goes for you. If Allah subhanaw taala was generous enough with you loving enough with you that
he gave you a lifestyle, a life story, where you grew up in a certain place with a certain family
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:55
			structure and a certain psychological structure as well. An experience of that allowed you to be
adherent to his law than you are very fortunate than you see yourself as such, you don't hold
everyone else to your standard. That's unfair. What do you know about their lives? What do you know
what they went through? Nothing, you barely know what you went through. You can't you can't even
answer questions about yourself to answer questions about others. So we don't get to hold people to
standards. So either we, if we're holding people to standard unrealistic, we lose. And if we decide
that we're going to just say whatever to make people happy, then we lose. It's neither that nor
		
00:12:55 --> 00:13:13
			this. We come to Islam semi I know Atlanta, whatever you say yada yada, we accept the pieces of it
that we like, and the pieces of it that we don't like, we accept all of it unconditionally. And then
we ask for time and for help, and for an ear to listen to us. So we can figure out how we're going
to do it appropriately. That is the relationship that exists.
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:20
			And today, we have tools to be better at it than we ever were before. We're not using those tools,
but we have them
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:48
			almost three years, six years, six years to date, three years, almost six years to date. In March of
2018, I gave a hook bind lmm. And I brought forward a survey. At the time it was paper, it was very
poorly written. The instructions were not clear. And some brothers who are still here today actually
took on themselves to is distributed and we gathered 1000 of them 1000 papers. And we spent all
night and we put it all the data in
		
00:13:49 --> 00:14:06
			and somebody was asking what people needed. Because I believe that there's no Pope for an OMAFRA
nation for community, big or small. If that this relationship is not properly established, if I
don't know what it is that people are struggling with, where they are in their lives, financially,
socially, mentally,
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:41
			mentally, psychologically, spiritually. I don't know the demographics I'm speaking to that I'm that
I'm shooting in the dark. And I'm on this member here. I may be seeing your faces, I don't know who
I'm talking to. So I'm just I'm just improvising hoping that when I say a lot lands somehow, I don't
know the audience. So we tried to do that and put together the data and we looked at it and it was
it was a disaster because I didn't we didn't word the the thing properly. And it was, but we come to
that we kept held on to it. And then we we talked about census and surveying a little bit more. And
a local group of local brothers and sisters started something called the outcome and social
		
00:14:41 --> 00:15:00
			innovation lab and they did a survey not too long ago. This is a couple of I don't know if it's a
year maybe it's a year ago, maybe it's less but they put together a survey and I wanted to share
with you some of the some of the data from that survey not everything but some points that I think
are worthy of talking about and this is a primer on yourself is a preliminary effort. This is the
first time this has been tried. We haven't
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:36
			really done this before. As far as I can tell, the all the other data that we have online that
exists within North America are very small subset groups, you're talking maybe 600 people that are
living over across a number of different states. So we don't have data that is concentrated in one
community, which we should have, I should know, we should know exactly that we have, let's say we
have a census from from the government and gives us maybe 30/33, roughly speaking, 3000 Muslims. Now
if that's true, and I think it probably is, or something that's actually very, very sad, it's
depressing, almost 30,000, Muslims, 30,000 people, that's a lot of people. That's a lot of people, I
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:44
			can tell you that we recycle the same 4000 people and all massage it around around the city is the
same people I give a whole bunny wears the same faces, I know.
		
00:15:45 --> 00:16:07
			They're bored of me, I'm bored of them, we need more, we need more people, because they're 3000,
there's at least another 20,000 People that don't show up, maybe seven or 8000, show up for eight,
maybe 10, that's still a third you and for eight, and there's still two thirds of Muslims that don't
show up at all. There's a problem here, there's an issue with the outreach, there's an issue with
with them involvement and engagement. And there's, and this has to be talked about. So I'm gonna
share with you some data here.
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:10
			That was please work.
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:48
			Okay, perfect. So you can see that most of the different postal codes in London, most of the data
was taken from the Northwest where this message is, because this is where this project kind of was
handed out, this group kind of started here, and they move forward with it. So we don't have as much
data from other parts of the city, which is the struggle that we have right now. I just don't have
enough information from the south and southeast, specifically, in the area. The white oaks, for
example, don't don't have a lot of data, there's a lot of Muslims that we know that like to just
drive, drive down to the White House. And you'll know that the majority of people that are Muslim
		
00:16:48 --> 00:17:17
			and Arab, from backgrounds of different Islamic backgrounds, so we don't have a lot of data there.
Most of the data is from the Northwest, where we come from, but it's still worthy is around 600 And
something responses that we got, which I think is a reasonable data subset to kind of work with and
talk about the majority of people. Oh, here we go. So the majority of people are getting it. All
right. We're, we're parents, and the majority of them that answered these questions were married,
the majority of them were married. Very good.
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:49
			So 72 respondents were married. And then we have a much smaller representation of people were single
and much smaller of people who are divorced or separated. Now there's a Mr. Isn't Mr. Presentation,
when I when I put out these numbers is not the reality of our community? No, no, not because we know
our community, there's actually way more people who are single and are dependent or divorced widowed
than what we had here, which says that we have an issue with engagement when it comes to when it
comes to it within our Muslim community to engaging people who are maybe not family oriented, they
don't have a family who haven't built their unit yet. That's a problem. Because what's the point of
		
00:17:49 --> 00:18:07
			having a community if it's not going to lead, or help people build that back again, or support those
who are failing to do so for whatever reason, sometimes there's just no interest in doing and that's
fine. Sometimes people don't want to get married again, or they don't have interest in doing that.
Either way, they should still have a spot for themselves, and they should still feel welcome or they
should be represented. Regardless.
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:12
			someone's doing it for me. So because this is not working.
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:44
			Alright, there we go. One more. So just just a subset there for people who attend my session. So you
can see there's a there's a big difference in those who are born in Canada, look at the blue, blue
one specifically, I think this is the wrong clicker. It's probably the wrong one. There's another
one in there. If someone get it from me, if you look at the at the blue up the blue lines, someone
born in Canada versus someone who came here first three years, there's a significant difference.
This tells you that when people are immigrating to the city, when they're coming in as Muslims from
Muslim countries, they are not finding enough support. They're not finding a landing spot. They're
		
00:18:44 --> 00:19:06
			not finding somewhere where they can come and they can be taught and they can be accepted and
welcomed and helped along. And that's that is that is a problem. That is a problem. Now, if you look
at the blue line, as it goes forward, as the years progress, the numbers of people, that percentage
of people start coming into me tell you a little bit more because they're little bit more
comfortable coming in. But when they first arrived, they don't in comparison to someone who was born
and raised here, which gives you something to think about.
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:17
			Here's, here's the breakdown of those who responded financially. 20% of 50 of our community makes
over 100k. So where's all that money?
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:47
			It's 20% of our communities make over 100k? Where's the money? Show me the money. We need money for
this community. Not in this space. Specifically, I feel very comfortable saying these things.
Because really, in this small center, we don't need a lot of money. But this community does. For
sure. This community requires wealth. And if you if you're going to be able to educate your youth,
if you're going to be able to take care of immigrants to take care of people who are vulnerable. If
you're gonna be able to take care of people who are struggling or people are coming in as new
immigrants or new converts to Islam, then you need wealth. If money is needed, without money, you
		
00:19:47 --> 00:20:00
			can't get things done. You can't run a faith, a community based faith for free. It's impossible. He
could if it was doable, he would have done it himself out of his thoughts. But he didn't. He asked
people for money and he made sure that every
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:31
			input what they had, and if they didn't it, held them accountable for it. That's why the people had
nothing would come with a tomorrow, you would come with one date, imagine how ridiculous that sounds
and looks for you to come to a group where people are putting money for a purpose that is needed,
and you're bringing one date. But because they understood that we have to give from what we've got,
whether we have a lot, or whether we have a little, we still have to give something so he came in
with what he had. And the Quran would document that and document how, whenever they would laugh at
them.
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:36
			Hug him when he would would would make fun of them.
		
00:20:38 --> 00:20:48
			That they had nothing to give, and how the Quran accepted and how Allah subhanaw accepted even the
smallest, whatever you got, if you know it's okay, bring that date Jazak Allah and Baraka Luffy,
that will go a very long way.
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:54
			But if a fifth of us make over 100k, and they bring a date, well,
		
00:20:55 --> 00:20:56
			there's something wrong there, for sure.
		
00:20:57 --> 00:21:35
			But then over a third make less than 50, which means they require support, which means some of
those, some of those, aka that we give has to stay local. You see the only times that guy's allowed
to be sent overseas is if the community you're living in is sufficed, like if they're saturated, if
you don't need to cut locally, but if your needs occur locally, there are people who are living in
your community who don't can't make ends meet for some some reason, then that pool of well that pool
of money, that kind of money, a part of that is owed to them before it's before it's acceptable
Islamically to send us like overseas you have this is this is not an issue of one.
		
00:21:36 --> 00:22:10
			School of jurisprudence, opinion. It's not no, this is across the board, the schools of
jurisprudence that allowed for Muslims to send their wealth overseas, there's a call overseas, they
have that condition that you have to make sure that locally people are doing well. If they're not,
then we have to make sure we take care of people locally first, you can't be as as important as it
is for our wealth and our money to go to the consumer and to go to Sudan and to go to parts of the
world where people are starving. But if people who are living right beside you are starving, that's
a bigger problem. If they're not taking care of we have people who are Muslims who can't, can't pay
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:16
			the rent or are going after drugs or substance abuse, because they don't have money, then this is a
problem that we have to deal with.
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:54
			Over a fifth of our community talk about having financial difficulties. That doesn't mean that we
just throw money at them, what it means is that we have to have services that allow them to get out
of whatever debt or financial problems they're in, we need to have these services. MRCs is one
institution, no matter how hard they work, they cannot carry all of this. And if they are going to
do it, then they need to be properly staffed. They have to have way more staff than they have today,
if we're going to be able to reach out because these people, most of them don't come to massage. And
if they do, they come very ashamed and embarrassed. And they're not the first people to jump up and
		
00:22:54 --> 00:23:27
			say I am struggling financially, it takes a man a lot to come forward and say I need help. Or else
they will continue to struggle for years before they actually put their hand up. We actually have to
be proactive about it. We have to provide safe spaces and safe lines for people to actually call if
they need that help and then find services that are available within the country that we live in. We
are taxpayers, there is money available for us within this country to use to help our our Muslim,
you understand a lot of the immigrants that come here don't know what their rights are. So they end
up not accessing the services that are available to them just for lack of education to scratch up
		
00:23:27 --> 00:23:56
			knowledge. They don't know no one told them no one has a time. No, there are no services set up. I'm
not asking we can't do this as individuals. You're busy. You don't have time to go around doing
this. But should there not be a service in our community that we fund to make sure that these people
find an access to services that they need? Yes, of course. And it's very doable. It just requires a
little bit more organization and a little bit more funding you have to money for these things is
quite important.
		
00:23:57 --> 00:23:58
			Cannot see what that is.
		
00:24:02 --> 00:24:05
			So you can see you can see Yeah, this is kind of self explanatory.
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:08

			Takagi unfussy him, I don't want to take a lot of this time, I will, we will share and show more of
this data as we go along and show over the next few weeks is a lot of actually points that are
worthy of
		
00:28:25 --> 00:28:26
			sharing with you.
		
00:28:27 --> 00:28:30
			But what's the point? If we share, okay, here's the problem.
		
00:28:32 --> 00:28:33
			Okay, and then what?
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:39
			I can't fix it. Nor can the team that runs this small place, fix it.
		
00:28:40 --> 00:29:00
			Changes in the communities have to come from the communities themselves, you have to identify a
problem, you have to come start, if it matters to you, if you want to you champion it, you're going
to find those who are interested in the same problem and start building towards finding a solution,
finding a way to to close the gap. If if there is one, there's still something I wanted to point out
here and parenting
		
00:29:02 --> 00:29:36
			over a third, find the problem with just getting an Islamic identity. I know it's a word that we
throw around a lot. But should it be? Should this be a challenge? Should a third of us find it hard
just to make sure that our kids grow up as understanding themselves to be Muslim and to from a
background from whatever their background is, whether it's soluble, okay? And it doesn't matter if
they're Muslim, they're Muslim, and they have their cultural background for us to struggle with
making sure that our kids just know where they come from and who they are. That to me is a big red
flag that is an alarm that is being sounded that we have to take. Because remember, this data that I
		
00:29:36 --> 00:30:00
			have mostly our people in my session, like it's skewered it's not it's not a it's not a perfect
representation of our community. Because most of the people who filled this out came to massage it
whether here or somewhere else. So there are people who are already making it to Joomla three
already making it to Joomla. And that's what their struggles are. Imagine those who don't make it to
Joomla at all. You want to know go to schools go stand in front of a high school well, maybe you
shouldn't do that because it get in trouble. But in general, if
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:36
			You want to watch at Williams High School, you will see the number of Muslims going in and coming
out. It's not just that we're a very youthful community. But a lot of that a lot of that string, a
lot of that energy is being lost, it's being lost, because we don't have a way to actually encompass
it and bring it in, we don't have a need to engage them, and to remind them of who they are within
what they're here for, and allow them to, to feel proud and to feel that they belong to their
background and to the face that they're a part of. And that's just, there's no excuse for that.
There is no excuse. We don't live in a time or a place where we are being told we can't speak or we
		
00:30:36 --> 00:30:50
			can't, we can't express ourselves or we can build no we can do whatever you want the failures that
we are seeing the failures that we have allowed to happen. There is no reason for us not be able to
do better than that. There is no reason that they struggled with language struggle with
		
00:30:52 --> 00:31:22
			substance abuse, there's no reason outside from our own lack of caring, or lack of empathy towards
one another own. That feeling of responsibility, and accountability and ownership that we should all
carry within our hearts. I'll share more of this inshallah with you over the next week or so. But
I'll leave you with this slide to think about these things. There are people out there who are
isolated and who are alone while have nowhere to go who don't feel supported don't feel that they
have anyone to reach out to and they come to these massages by the way a lot
		
00:31:23 --> 00:31:52
			is the last resort because we don't have things set up for them we don't have you don't We don't
have systems embedded within the Messiah to make sure that we are ready to help those who are in
need and reach out to those who don't know where else to go that is your that's our obligation as
Muslims Our obligation is not it's not this is not something extra that we should we're doing
because we're a great we're doing this because we have to because if we don't we're held accountable
by Allah subhanaw taala not and with that in short, I hope there was a benefit to you why didn't
want to know how am I gonna be
