			The E moolah the Anima to in nama whom Fatima Jahannam Oh, Lai Hakuna a Juana and Allah He mean as
your ID letter U D, u d, who will hold IBM fifth. What he's saying is awesome is the first piece of
the Hadith, people will stop
		
00:00:17 --> 00:01:00
			being proud and arrogant and condescending based on the legacy of the their forefathers who died,
who most of them were not believers are the coal of Jahannam or Allah Subhanallah I will stop caring
about them and you will be less so there'll be so just valued in the eyes of Allah. Similar to a a
beetle, you never heard of the dung beetle, the beetle that pushes dung with its nose. And that's
that's the term he used on his own and you'll be less valuable to Allah subhanaw taala than the dung
beetle is to you, that takes it that goes and picks up feces and makes it into something is this is
a term I dare you to find it ever used by the prophet Allah you saw some anywhere else in his, in
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:33
			his ID, you don't at this and he was very out of character for a moment because but it's not really
if you understand him it so if you follow the pattern, it's not very out of character, because he's
talking about something that he was very, very firm on, you stop doing that you stop acting like
because because of some something that you have nothing to do with because of some legacy of someone
who came before your your your race or your culture or your the color of your skin or the family you
come from or the part of the world that you were raised in or whatever it is, Has Has any degree of
effect on who you are as a person or makes you better than anybody. This is something I like it's
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:40
			awesome had no tolerance for either you stopped doing it or Allah subhanaw taala will devalue you
more than you devalue the dung beetle.
		
00:01:42 --> 00:02:23
			And then he said I'll use AutoSum in Allah, but as hubba uncom or be yet Elijah he yet you have a ha
ha Bill Abba. Ko lunacy been the holy coming up. Indeed Allah subhanaw taala has taken away for you
has removed from you for you the luggage and the burden of Jania. And it's any pride within their
forefathers and the condescending and racist remarks that they add towards other people, Allah
subhanaw taala has relieved you from it, that's what he used the term, it's better, you've been
relieved of this, you're relieved of the luggage. Obeah is basically the cultural baggage that comes
with being a person like you, you carry with you a lot of your cultural, that a lot of cultural
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:53
			baggage of your parents kind of handed down or the society that you live in, gave you you don't even
we don't even notice it, we don't even notice that we see the world through a lens that wasn't we
didn't actually manufacture ourselves, someone else put it on our eyes, you only grow as a person,
when you're able to actually identify that you're seeing the world through a lens and you take them
off. And then you see things differently. And that's how you actually that's how you actually find
enlightenment. The Quran cannot be seen through any cultural lens, by the way, the Quran is seen
through a cultural lens, it ceases to actually work for anybody. So you have to remove that. And you
		
00:02:53 --> 00:03:28
			have to be able to see the Quran for what it is you have to look at it objectively as much as
possible. But above it is also I'm in this he uses the word Obeah meaning this this cultural baggage
that you were given, you've been relieved of it and needing to and the need to be proud of your
forefathers and use that to condescend to it or that you have been relieved of doing that. Why?
Because it's the basis on Islam because all of you are the sons and daughters of Adam and Adam come
from the soil of the earth. Period, you're done. Easy, easy, you all have the same origin, from same
background doesn't matter whether you're from African, Asian, European, Latin America, North
		
00:03:28 --> 00:04:03
			American Australian descent, it doesn't matter what you look like what color of skin you have, what
your eyes look like, what your mouth looks like, how long your nose is, how tall you are, and short,
how fat were you doesn't matter what language you speak and what doesn't make a difference because
you come from the exact same origin. Your forefather is adamantly said I'm an Adam was created from
the soil of the earth. So there's no point, I can't feel that I'm better than anybody. Because all I
had to do if you just go back, if we just go back far enough in terms of our lineages, we all meet
the same person. So it's actually ridiculous to even think of the world. I'm from this family. So I
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:04
			must be better.
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:41
			No, that's not how this is done. It is sad, that there's that there are any remnants of racists in
our community, that, that, that we still have remnants of these things, walking and talking amongst
us that, that we still use derogatory terms to describe people who come from a different part of the
world or a different country, that you think that you're immune to this, I know you're listening to
me and you're saying, Yes, good. Tell people this No, no, I'm not telling people this, I'm telling
you this. I'm telling myself actually this before I even talk to you, because we all have it.
There's certain degree, there's a part of us that still, there's a part if you just take time and
		
00:04:41 --> 00:05:00
			look deeply, deep enough and you're honest enough and you're self aware, you'll find a part of you
that sink thinks that has a bad thoughts about a certain group of people. You have to do this, by
the way, you have to do it so that you can get rid of it. Because we all have it's just a part. It's
a part of being human. And the Prophet alayhi salam said I'm going to be very firm with you if you
knew that. If he was in front of you
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:23
			earlier slide seven you showed it you'd be very firm. Even though the last thing you want is the
profit out of yourself and being firm with you. What are the chances of that? One out of a million?
You meet the Prophet Alia saw some of the chances you can be firm with you very, very little.
Chances are He will put His hand on your chest and make dua for you and you will. It's very the
possibility of you getting a firm a firm reminder from him is very, very,
		
00:05:24 --> 00:06:02
			very unlikely, but it could happen if you have a little bit of racism going on somewhere. You have
to be the man was telling me the up Jamie, he'd be sending in Hasson and I'd be holding on to the
