			Medina Lee he was so happy to hear your marine robot. Today inshallah Allah we actually begin a new
Surah because we can include it as soon as the soft last week and we start with with Joomla. Now who
to Joomla
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:18
			is one of my favorites, because I get to rant a lot about aspects regarding with Joomla
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:20
			it is
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:31
			exactly what you think it is when you hear the name of the Sodom and Gomorrah is one of the main
rituals of our deen
		
00:00:32 --> 00:01:11
			Salah obviously being the pillar of Islam are the main or major pillars of Islam and Juma is the
most important prayer of all prayers. Like if you were to rank Salawat, from the most important to
the least, which is fine, they're all everything within Salah is valuable and important. But if you
rank them from the most important and going downwards, then by far Joomla is ranked, you know, a
high number one with a pretty, pretty long dropped and number two afterwards, so that that come
later. Because if you don't, because you're more specific in terms of where you do it, and when you
do it, you just can't pray Jawad home, you have to come to a masjid, and if you pray will hold
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:32
			instead of it with no reason, then as a mate at least as a male, you're, you're held accountable,
you're held accountable. So even if you select the gym at home, and you're you have all for sure and
everything, it doesn't count, because you have to be there for Joomla. And it says it has that
degree of importance. And I'll give some examples on what the Prophet alayhi salatu salam said,
		
00:01:33 --> 00:02:11
			attached to that, or rulings that we have to discuss. And so the JAMA, within this just that talks
about organizing relationships within the Muslim nation, talks about talks about leadership, it
talks about the concept of leadership or within Islam. If too much I had that I talked about the
relationships between Muslims within their nation, whether it's between the Muslim to Muslim people
or or spouses or between the Muslims and their leaders that are between Muslims, and their family
members. And so we'll have to talk about citizenship and what rights and obligations attached to
that. And so we're gonna Dinah talked about the relationships between Muslims and non Muslims, and
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:54
			categorize those relationships into different groups. And so the stuff talked about the social
contract with Islam, which is the relationship between the individual and the group. So it talks
about leadership specifically looks at this ritual that is there, it's instilled, it's installed
into it's embedded into Islamic law, to make sure that you have a system of leadership within within
your way of life and with your methodology, Muslims wherever they may be around the world, and in
from Alaska to any to the Far East, in the middle of a jungle or in in a big desert, three Muslims
or tumors will find each other and they'll build a masjid and they'll have a Joomla. And someone has
		
00:02:54 --> 00:03:34
			to get up necessary if you work. This is how it works is this is the universal method for how
Muslims function within within their communities. Whether they are minorities or majorities doesn't
doesn't make a difference. It's universal. And that's how you know if there are Muslims in a city
you at the time of Joma, you look to see if there are Friday prayers running somewhere. It is it
there is no exception almost to this rule. And when you think about it, Allah subhanaw taala he
instilled this, the system within within Islam to make sure that there was going to there was going
to be a system of leadership. Yet somehow we figured out a way to need to override that or to or to
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:41
			ruin it. Every Friday, how many pairs of Joomla occur around the world
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:44
			if you want to if you want to estimate
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:56
			you think how many massages are there in the world. So Joomla from maybe any over a 24 hour span
width is the day of Juma
		
00:03:57 --> 00:04:12
			fighting parents begin in one place and then it keeps on going for a full 24 hours all across the
globe. Millions upon millions of massages have joumana and Friday pairs and millions hundreds of
millions of Muslims go in the attendees yo MAs
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:15
			and it's a weekly thing.
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:20
			Imagine any other society in the world that had weekly
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:50
			meetings with whom who should be within their community should be those who speak on their behalf
like those who are supposed to be in a in a state of leadership. By the way that Jomo was based on
leadership. It wasn't just it wasn't based on knowledge and every number is based on knowledge. Jim
was specifically was based on leadership, meaning the Khalifa had to give the Jo MA The Hakeem had
to give the Joomla the Emir had to give the Joomla the Worli had to give the jamaa not the scholar.
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:55
			Things changed later on in Islamic law. It wasn't based on knowledge,
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:59
			leading general prayers and giving lessons
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:41
			that is based on on a knowledge given Giovanna was based on leadership. It was full fully based on
leadership. So the Khalifa had to speak. And the word he had to speak and then he had to speak and
they had to do it on the member. That's how this thing ran for a long time. And anyone within the
Muslim ummah, who was getting on the member to speak was doing it on behalf of the of the leadership
of the place that they're living in. That's how this worked. And the person who was doing that had
to have a certain aspect of leadership. And if they didn't, then they had no business speaking on
the member to begin with. And of course, throughout time, a lot of that got skewed and it morphed
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:47
			into something different, which took away a certain degree of the of its of its allure.
		
00:05:48 --> 00:06:09
			And then this is not to say that people shouldn't be attending it. No, you should 100% Attend Jo Ma.
But when it's not done appropriately, then that's when people start losing interest. Because Allah
subhanaw taala took on his on his on himself to gather people. People want on the day of Jomo, when
I give the hotbar they're not there for me, it's Allah subhanaw taala. Because this is, this is who
shows up for me, this is this is it.
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:32
			This is for me, the only job is not for me or for any other hoccleve Joma is because Allah subhanaw
taala gathered, told people to come to the come. So and the reason, the reason for that is to make
sure that the Muslims are never lacking leadership, or never lacked direction, there's always
there's always a plan forward, every every Friday.
		
00:06:34 --> 00:07:10
			The men have to come together, and their leader has to tell them addressed the problem to see what's
coming next, and everyone has to has to adhere moving forward, which is why which is why Islam.
Yeah. And you went you basically expanded within such a small period of time, which is such a short
period of time he just talking about 30 years from the day he passed away out of your salatu salam
from 30 years when he passed away. Islam was the largest empire on earth at the time, and it was in
three different continents. And that Khalifa Khalifa was was ruling the Lord that he did the supreme
ruler, like the ruler that had the most power, the largest armies, the most resources, the biggest
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:47
			populations that they were ruling was the Muslim Khalifa was it was a North mine and they saved it
and saved them. Wow. Yeah, they were the bit. That's why it was. That's why there's so much
political turmoil in Islamic history is because it was so huge. It was the stakes were extremely
high. They were You were ruling all of Mesopotamia, which at the time was what what the old world
was known to be. For a long time, the Americans, south and north were known to the world in terms of
historic documentation, historical documentation, that was only found out later. Of course, people
live there and their lives mattered. But that wasn't a part that was happening within the world
		
00:07:47 --> 00:08:09
			because we need the world was known for the Europeans, the Africans in the in the Asians at this,
and these groups have gone back and forth upon each other for many years for hundreds of years. And
in Africa, the Islamics enough are basically covered. And he covered most of what the old role was,
went as far as the US Pakistan because Pakistan, which is what is known to be Yanni,
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:47
			and a Cebu, and Bukhara, and when somebody London where they were just known known scholars of
Islam, that you know, the names on the human body and they say, that's where that's where they
that's where the Muslim they came from. And obviously, all of North Africa going down to the Middle
East, the middle of Africa, to the Horn of Africa, all of the Middle East, going into to Eastern
Europe. And so it's a huge, huge was a huge kidnapper for a very long time. And the reason that that
happened is because the system of leadership was instilled right into Islam. It's right there, right
when total Jomon has an early mid 20s sutra, it's an early mid Denisova all like all of this user is
		
00:08:47 --> 00:09:24
			Madani all in Medina and Joomla is an early but then he sunnah Some scholars say within the first
week of him arriving in Medina and he has to lottosend Um So the gem Allah has revealed because Jo
MA The first year man was established, were there any gem was in Mecca? No, they never Angeline
Mecca they pray boyhood only Jomo, I became a ritual once the Prophet Alayhi Salatu was Salam had
his own city, he had his own and his country he was he was able to establish some degree of
leadership. So he led that in his thought was I mean anyone will give a hope. But in Medina, or
later on where the people the Prophet alayhi salatu was sent as O'Meara sent them as as people who
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:33
			are going to lead the army to lead the groups or, or be the judge of the city or be the ruler of the
ruler of the city on his behalf, how to use a lot of wisdom. So that's how it went.
		
00:09:34 --> 00:10:00
			So when this is all before we cite the source, it's always very beautiful and you'll enjoy
yourselves in it, but I have to I have to get this off my chest first. First of all, I can't, won't
be able to talk to you about it. So the moment we removed from jhamora The concept of leadership the
moment that was removed, it became you basically neutralized it. You neutralized your mind once the
person standing on the member had no pole at all, aside from encouraging people
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:27
			Well to be better than doing some reminders for the sake of Allah, whether they are given a piece of
paper to read from by some other organization, or it's just a hired employee by a group of people,
just to be a mouthpiece and say certain things to individuals, which kills off any hope of this
ritual having any actual importance or significance. And through time, people stop feeling the
importance of doing it. And then you have too many of them. For example, the Shafia
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:41
			here if, if there's more than one, Masjid, that is performing July in a city, you have to praise
lotto lower after Joomla you have to pay someone to do for work after Joomla because one of them is
wrong.
		
00:10:42 --> 00:11:17
			And since we can't establish that everyone does it, this is not for all them in their head, but I'm
giving you and this is not for me, I'm not telling you what to do. I'm explaining to you the concept
of some of the Imams because the Imam Shafi said well in any Gemma is only one Jamar to st one city
one Jomar you can have massage it and they can pray all the different periods but Jamaat one place,
everyone goes attend to one place. If you're having more than one joumana Even for the Imam Shafi
even if it is needed, they both have to pray for her afterwards. The other Maga him say if it's not
needed, then some of them will talk about repeating her afterwards. But if needed there, okay. So
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:53
			the other muda habit depends within the debate within the month of I don't want to get into but I'm
just giving you an something to think about. So this concept that we have now, these, you know,
what, how many of you have 25, your city and every person who has a little bit of a beard, and
notice I can buy a hat that fits his head can step up and speak German. I was I was 15. I was 17
years into my into my talab realm. Before I was granted the ability by my teachers to do it
conditionally with their attendance. I did that for three years before I was allowed to do it based
on need. I am doing it today based on need. Meaning the moment there are scholars i don't i It's not
		
00:11:53 --> 00:12:30
			my business anymore. I sit down because I was not allowed. I was never told that you can take this
and do this as much as you like. It's not I wasn't an open invitation for me. So so the way that
we're running Jomar is actually yes, it's a we want to grant people the ability to attend it. Great,
that's beautiful. But when you neutralize or you're removed from it any form of leadership, the
argument I made when I first came to I told them what I had seen and assessed in the city of like,
what I can, what I suppose I can tell the Imams and all these massages aren't really Imams that
mean, the word doesn't really apply, like you're not really leaders, like you're not coming to them
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:58
			for visions, like you're not asking them, What is your vision for the future? What are our problems?
How do we fix them, you're not looking for guidance from this person, you just hired them, because
you want things done. So the person or the member shouldn't be that person version. And the member
is the person who's actually leading the organization, which in most cases is one of the senior
board members or the chair of the board, that person could be on the member. And actually, I that's
what I told them, that's just how they should work. The person who's giving you the buck shouldn't
be the leader of the community to get up there. If he doesn't know what to do what he's taught, it's
		
00:12:58 --> 00:13:29
			not that difficult. Even if that person has not given granted permission by anyone, that's fine. You
need permission, if you're not the permission piece that I explained to you was in the context, if
there was no if leadership was out, right, it was going to be based on scholarship, it is gonna be
based on scholarship and and then you need to go through that. But if you're a leader, you don't
need any of that. If you're a leader of a group, then you don't need permission from anyone you give
the hook well, because that is your obligation. You have to do it. And if you don't know how you
have to be taught, and if you cannot learn for some reason, then probably you shouldn't be the
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:30
			leader of that group.
		
00:13:31 --> 00:14:04
			If you can't, if you cannot be taught just to do the basics, and then taught and then give some
reminders and then explain direction, you probably shouldn't be the person on the leading group to
begin with. Some scholars talked about the concept of nega mean, you could have someone who dues
does on behalf of another scholar who gives a hope on behalf of a leader. And in that case, that
scholar has to be an advisor to the leader, someone who's advising the leader and his voices heard
so he can actually, you know, speak about what the leaders plan is because he believes in it because
he's gonna advise me in a part of the team. Not so yeah, I need some fun, which are the people who
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:15
			are paid off or the scholars who are just basically too scared to say anything so they'll say
whatever they're told to say no, it's talking about someone who actually has weighed someone a
scholar who who's who's gonna need
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:25
			a consultation is required by the by the leader and the leader is working in conjunction so this
person will speak on their behalf and then he would be attending that
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:32
			so that's what I was like Jamal was built on that on this on this concept. It was like that for a
long time.
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:40
			And say notice mine for example, the law or the law and he was probably the person you would expect
the least to be giving an
		
00:14:44 --> 00:15:00
			extremely shy gentleman very, very low tone voice and not much of a public speaker of the law. One
little black beautiful gentleman very, very intelligent. Obviously one of the great I don't know
what are the great cooler for the great Sahaba and I shouldn't machine agenda, but not a public
speaker. Yet he gave all the
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:00
			Help us
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:16
			you have to any, any any saving, I know you trained him and helped him so he can learn to do it
properly. Because he had to you're the leader, you have to do this if you if you can't do this and
you cannot, you cannot lead, it's a part of the system. So if you think about that, and this is not
because I
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:30
			always have to give a disclaimer, I don't care for leadership, I actually don't think I would
qualify to be if we had the proper setup, I would not be on the new board to begin with. It wouldn't
be me speaking to people at all.
		
00:15:32 --> 00:16:10
			But the system the way it is, is not healthy. The system the way it is, is not healthy. People were
those who were on the member speaking to people on Jomar have to be the leaders of the community. If
they're not, then we're in trouble. And now I understand it in in countries, majority Muslim
countries where governments and tyrants some of the land will not allow for such a setup to be so
most of these poor Imams, they get their paper facts to them Thursday night, so they know what
they're gonna be talking about. And they have to read certain things as sent to them by the
government, which obviously neutralizes any for any hope of Joma having an effect. But I was side of
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:45
			Muslim countries, for example, we have no, there's really nothing missing here, no one's going to
tells me about what I should talk about or what I shouldn't talk about. And, and God knows that we
need leadership within our community, if we're going to be able to make any change to our lives and
the lives with the coming generations. I just think there's a lack of understanding of what this
ritual is, and how it's supposed to function. And if we can educate everyone, and if you guys are
educated in Shaolin educate others, because in the future, at some point, you'll be called upon to
be a board member in some masjid. And then you can bring this forward that if you're not Imams gonna
		
00:16:45 --> 00:17:17
			be paid, that's fine. I even though I don't think that should be the case, but fine, they can be
paid. But if you're not bringing them in, as leaders, you're willing to buy into their visions,
you're willing to have them walk and you follow along that don't hire them. Don't bring in any if
we're going to hire them for that, bring in a mama tip. There's something called Imamura. TV, Mama
Rajib is a guy who just praised the five prayers, and gives the co authored and organizes the
Halacha, which is fine, it's not it's not a low light, no, it's fine. It is very important. But then
the Jo Ma has to be given by the person who's actually leading, the person is actually making
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:24
			decisions. The person who's who's going to be accountable for the failures. Yes, they may be the
people who end up
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:38
			enjoying the victories, the race skarsten Spread out, but the person who's gonna be accountable for
things don't work, who's accountable for when nothing works for us right now? Like when things when
we have failures in our community? Who do who do we blame?
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:42
			Who can you blame? Who can you go to and ask Where's who?
		
00:17:46 --> 00:18:13
			You have no idea when things don't work in the government, you know exactly where to turn to, you
know, the for certain things, you go to MPs. These are you know, which party and the leader of the
party, the Prime Minister, there are people who are accountable when things fail, there are people
who are responsible for certain things running when the Muslim community, the 36,000 of us when we
lock certain things, or when people are killed, for example, or run down at a streetlight, or
something. Who do you go to? And question Where was the?
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:52
			Who can you turn to? No, you can turn to no one. No, sometimes people like coming to us, and I get
to laugh when you have new things I can do, I can do nothing. I have no pull whatsoever. We have no
ability to make any decisions on any level at all. And just yesterday, any ima well like, I am
probably the one who has the most freedom. Because I do this and it is not it is not. I don't live
from this and I am not being paid for any of it. So it's it's I speak my mind. And it's based on my
my vision of things. But I know for sure that my brothers who are running massages elsewhere have no
very little say on things. Aside from maybe not even sometimes they either even censored on a fifth
		
00:18:52 --> 00:19:02
			opinion. Even if they have an opinion that they believe is great. They they can't even if it doesn't
suit the you know, the majority of the group or the board members or if some ones that are
influential, they can come and shut them down.
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:34
			It's not to say the Imams cannot make mistakes. So for sure, I'm sure there's a lot of problems with
how we set up our leadership structure to begin with. There's a huge problem. We don't do this well,
because humans are humans they have to be held accountable I have to be if you don't hold me
accountable then after a while I get lazy. And I'll start saying anything. If no one's no one's
listening and questioning and making sure I stay in line. It's It's human nature, human nature. If
everyone is plops everything you say you'll stop doing any research and you'll say anything because
everyone's gonna clap for you anyway. So it's important. Same thing when it comes to behavior and
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:57
			dealing with people around you to actually meet regulation has to be law have to be rules and what
you're allowed to do what you're not allowed to do. This is again, you have to be most of most rules
in this world are designed to protect you from yourself first, to protect you from the mistakes that
you will make if you're subjecting yourself to circumstances that you're not qualified to be
subjected to or it's not within your your area of expertise.
		
00:19:59 --> 00:20:00
			So this has to be one
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:19
			back out again, we have a sutra that talks about the nature or it organizes the concept of
leadership for us, and it's gonna come through. So when it comes to the system of Joomla, that was
set up for us beautiful system, it really is. Can't imagine I feel like any other group in the world
would do so much better if they were able to assemble their people every week.
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:41
			In the community that assembly every single week, how is it that we're not getting things done?
Allah, he's beyond me. Like every week, we have to come together every single week, there's not no
weeks off like no long weekends don't count nothing. Every Jamaat since he started it in the first
year of age of the hair salon twist until this date, we have not missed a Friday.
		
00:20:43 --> 00:21:00
			The Muslims have, since that moment, there hasn't been slower, there is yo Mara, every Friday since
even through COVID, there are some Moctezuma they ran, it's been consistent all throughout the
Muslim world. When you think about the number of times, how many jewelers Have you attended in your
life, think about how many times have you attended
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:07
			you, if you're attending appropriately, you're doing at least 5050 A week, a year, let's say you're
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:13
			staying for two weeks, 50 a year, if you're 500, your margin for 10 years,
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:23
			right 500,000 in a decade. If those domains were being being done correctly, you don't think you'd
be more knowledgeable. You don't think you'd have more direction
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:38
			500 You attend you attend Yadi man over it over a decade of time has also been an inequity would
like it or not mandatory 500 Half an hour lectures you have to attend. It's not up to you, you can't
say you know, you have to attend them.
		
00:21:41 --> 00:21:53
			I don't I don't, it bothers me to my core. One of the things bothered me is the mode is the lack of
utilization of the simple ritual of this simple concept that we have.
		
00:21:55 --> 00:22:34
			Just don't just don't do it well, and we just have to get back to the essence of it. Get back to the
essence of the ultimate measure that I I was a part of growing up that I I saw what happen is was
that when the Imam was the leader of the of the actual masjid, he wasn't walled off from the cough.
He wasn't someone who was hired by the the o clock or by whatever ministry, whenever the Imam was
actually a there a pharmacist or a business owner or a physician or a lawyer or accountant had a
job. And they they ran this mess in residency for years. And they they made decisions and they
actually directed domestically, they were part they are the ones who put the vision together. And
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:46
			they were responsible for the things that were missing. Those are the mistakes that things actually
worked. They got things done and a lot of knowledge was was given that people learned and people
benefited from masajid that don't have that won't, won't survive.
		
00:22:48 --> 00:23:18
			Unless there's a leader in the background, who's actually taking the reins, and will only bring in
those who will do what they want. I respect leadership, I don't care who the leader is, I just need
the leader, the person who's leading to just come up just come front, I don't care who it is. You
don't have to be knowledgeable not to be it just have to be a leader. If you're the leader, and
people listen to you, and you're actually making decisions, people trust you then fine, you
shouldn't be on the member, you shouldn't be on the member. And no one else should be on it the
person. And if you're not, and let's say for example, someone like me gets on that I have to be
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:52
			aligned with his vision. Like I have to be someone who's like I totally advocate for his vision. So
and this is the vision of, of our leader and this is what I think we will all do to help him if he
doesn't want you to if he for sure doesn't want to do it. But that's how Joomla was and that's what
we did. That's why we worked. That's why the system actually functioned for a long time. And then
slowly when Juma was neutralized slowly Islam people's my fear is that look, we are still quite
lucky in the Muslim world people show up for Jamar every message is always struggling with parking
and placements during Juma like every Masjid always struggles because people come they come. But the
		
00:23:52 --> 00:23:55
			only keep I think we have too much trust in that.
		
00:23:57 --> 00:24:25
			I think I've too much trust at some point people get tired. If you keep on coming to your mind and
it's useless to them. There's they're not learning anything, there's no progress. I think after a
while they'll start coming. Maybe this generation is coming because that's what they agree but the
next generation and third generation they'll start to you know slack because there's nothing in it
for them. There's no incentive there's no incentive for them to come. And then when they don't come
you know, then we ended up like you know our fellow faith holders
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:59
			with their empty wind, you blowing in the couple of people on oxygen tanks listening to becomes an
optional it dies off and dies off because we have too much if Allah subhanaw taala summons people
for you, you better have a message worth listening to. And if you don't, then you shouldn't have You
have no business standing or speak. If you don't have a message worth listening to. You don't
because Allah subhanaw taala he gathered them they didn't come for you the he gathered them and if
he did that subhanaw taala if you have respect for him, you understood that even better when he was
when someone stands on the member for Juma you're standing
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:30
			Were the prophets of Allah, Allah wa salam should be standing, but he's not here. He's not here.
This is what you think about every time. This is what we were told and taught. When you ever
wondered walk up the steps towards a hobo or something, do what you think about is that you are
going to stand where Muhammad Rasulullah Salallahu Salam would be standing. And you're only there
because he's not, he's not here, there's no one more because you're gonna go stand in and speak. So
what would he want to say to people to speak to them the way he would have wanted to speak to them
out of here, so to summon and convey a message that he would think is valuable. So you have to have
		
00:25:30 --> 00:25:57
			you have to know what you're talking about. You have to be able to lead the way he led down to use
the law to set up you have to offer that piece or else you're not doing you're not doing the job. I
just think if we thought about all these things, and there was a little bit more effort and trying
to establish that massage and and do it in the right way, then then we wouldn't have a different
we'd have a different reality. We'd have a different reality for sure. And as communities and as
Muslims young in general, but neutralizing Dumars I remember once
		
00:25:59 --> 00:26:05
			a person close to me God God did for me second year here something he attended the drama
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:10
			I got a legal theory and he the person tried their best but
		
00:26:11 --> 00:26:38
			I guess I don't I've never complained I'm gonna draw on my life I tend not to learn the ritual and
we'll talk about that peace in shelter you attend you try your but you come in with the intention of
trying to learn you know, the person up there is speaking gibberish or some language you've never
heard of come with the intention of learning and try to learn you try to attach yourself to a
lightyear it's your weekly opportunity to remember Allah subhanaw taala and embrace and engage in
remembrance with people around you and learn stuff used to even if the person is saying sometimes
you'd look for something that's good, don't look for things that were about look for something I did
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:50
			always as an attendee, that's what you're taught to do. So I've never completed a job with someone.
And he looked at me he said, Danny, is it partly it? How is it that Allah would hold me accountable?
If I didn't attend this?
		
00:26:51 --> 00:27:19
			How would Allah hold me accountable? If I didn't attend this today? Like, what was this what what
did what did we just listen to, like, you know, you're gonna, you're held accountable is not about
the person what they're saying, still, while you have to attend the ritual, but when we when you
when you're writing something that is this sacred, and it's important, and you get a human being to
say something like that you start wondering, maybe maybe there needs to be a little bit of an
adjustment of this whole system should be done in a way that's a little bit more meaningful, like
I've been advocating for Joomla has to be in different languages, rather than this whole translation
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:49
			business that never works. Never works. I speak both languages, I dream in both languages, I don't
think and this is not a bragging point, I'm just trying to explain to you something to understand
that I am truly bilingual. I speak Arabic as comfortably as I speak English, and I hate translating
on them, but I hate it. I'm not good. It's very difficult. It's very hard to repeat yourself word
for word as you're trying to speak. Because you're going through a thought process, you're trying to
help people understand something, then you'd have to hit the brakes, and go back to the beginning
and say this all get over again and another language and then pick up again. And not that it's
		
00:27:49 --> 00:28:23
			impossible to do. It's a waste of everyone's time and the hope it takes way too long. And you're
like, No, the hope is to say less than 25 minutes, fine. Well, how am I going to do that? How am I
going to give a thought that is worthy of listening to in both languages and 25 minutes? Why do you
think the Imam is a human being you have to ask for what is possible. A 15 would have been two
languages, what you want us to also dance and maybe it will put a show on for you, there's not
enough time to do this. If the if the thought or the message is worthy of conveying, it's gonna take
a little bit of unpacking, explaining, you mean you need at least 2025 minutes, 30 minutes to get an
		
00:28:23 --> 00:28:54
			idea across, you say from one language to say in the other. So instead of this bilingual stuff, you
just have different genres during the city, one is fully in Arabic, another fully in English and
other fully in order to do and one in Bangla. And one in Somali, put it in the language is that the
people of your community understand, so they can learn. So it's everyone's right, in my opinion, to
hear the word, the message of Allah in their mother tongue so they can connect to it. And it's not
that hard. It's not like we like people who know how to do this. We can for sure to get people on
the table who can speak that line and train them make sure they're good public speakers. And we can
		
00:28:54 --> 00:29:00
			talk about messaging and they can get up and they can speak to their communities so that we have
something there. But that requires a high level of
		
00:29:01 --> 00:29:40
			leadership, which is what we lack in the first place, which is why the whole ritual isn't working.
So I don't know. I don't know how to fix this. I have no idea how to fix it. But about this reads, I
don't know what's missing. But this if we were able to figure it out, then Jomo is a tool that is
extremely effective. It is an extremely effective tool. It's a weekly gathering, that people come to
kind of compulsory manner, they have to come to it. So you have an opportunity to make sure
everyone's on the same page on a seven week bait seven day basis. Like only seven days go apart
without pay, you have the opportunity for people to be on the same page again. And you can put
		
00:29:40 --> 00:29:59
			direction and you can talk about problems. You can get people to advocate it's not that difficult,
but it was every group does their own thing and you have people on the money that will have no pool
and have no leadership have no direction and they're just there to tell stories or to you know, make
general reminders then then things stay exactly as they are, which is what I do.
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:17
			And that's the end of my rant. So now we can actually read the surah and enjoy it so hopefully
inshallah you'll find it beneficial to beautiful sutra teaches us aspects of leadership that are
that are very meaningful and I hope I can convey it to you in a way that you'll find it. Find
beneficial start this little gem on show Allah Tada. We will be laying him in a shape on your Raji.
		
00:30:21 --> 00:30:25
			Bismillah here Walkman your Rahim.
		
00:30:28 --> 00:30:37
			us before we learn him this summer where do you feel are willing Maliki could do sea lice easy
hockey
		
00:30:47 --> 00:31:24
			so you watch out that all the names at the end of this area or have a customer right so in Maliki
liquid do see Azizi Makini. Musa Hakim, obviously, the suitors that start with some background or
user behavior, as I explained in previous sessions, when we, for example, went through Swizzle
Hadid. The point of it is that Allah subhanaw taala is going to usually he's going to talk about
something very technical, you can talk about something has technicalities that we'll there'll be a
lot of details. And there'll be very much a practical, there'll be a practice that is involved with
it, and he's talking about it pragmatically. So he starts the suit out with you set out as a
		
00:31:24 --> 00:31:58
			reminder of why you're doing what you're doing to begin with. Because if that piece is forgotten,
then nothing really works. And I purposely left that out in my rent so I can bring it up here.
Because everything I've talked about in terms of leadership and community and having the right
people why is that necessary? It's because that is what Allah subhanaw taala wants, because that is
what Allah subhanaw taala put within Islam as a system. And if you're trying to please Allah
subhanaw taala and to adhere to his teachings, the way he wants us to adhere to them, then we have
to remind ourselves that we're not allowed actually to run Joomla any other way than what how he
		
00:31:58 --> 00:32:28
			wants it somehow know what to honor, we are obligated to make sure that Jamal functions the way
Allah subhanaw taala wants it to function not the way it works for ours in a situation or community
or organization or whatever it is that we are you we are taking into consideration. The only
consideration is that how does Allah subhanaw taala want this to be run, and they will run it the
way he wants it to be run subhanho wa taala. And to all the students that step behind, you said but
that's why a lot of these sorts of this doesn't do because this is just as very technical. It's
talking about relationships, and how to deal with these people and how to look at these people. It
		
00:32:28 --> 00:32:46
			starts with you somebody who at the beginning is going to remember why you're doing adult. Never
forget the purpose because the moment you forget the purpose, then the means become the purpose or
the group becomes the purpose or something else becomes the purpose and it ruins the genuineness and
sincerity in this in the sanctity of what you're doing all together.
		
00:32:48 --> 00:33:27
			You don't as Muslims, we don't have value in our group as an ummah, except because Allah subhanaw
taala told us we have to do that. That's why we do it. It's not because I want to strengthen my own.
I want to be strong myself. So I'll strengthen those who seem to be no that's not why I'm doing it.
I'm doing it because Allah subhanaw said, this is the correct way. So I will go and adhere to that
way and I'll strengthen those who stand by it with her it doesn't matter. There's no other there's
no other considerations in this whole story. are also becomes an issue of nationalism becomes an
issue of, of Mike versus versus others. And that's that's exactly what JD was about. JD it was about
		
00:33:27 --> 00:33:35
			this is my tribe. I'm with my tribe. They're my people. So for better or for worse, or good or for
bad. And with them, it doesn't work.
		
00:33:37 --> 00:34:14
			As during the summer we'll say when I lemon Razia to enter our giveaway to Intel she was eager to
overshoot the I'm just from my Z I mean my small tribe in other words, if they lose their way no way
to I lose my way when Taylor Swift does he finds its way oh god I'll find my way to whatever they
do. I don't care. This is my group I send my my group I strengthen my group. No, that's not why we
when we talk about Islam and Muslim we don't do that because it's just ours is because Allah
subhanahu tackless command, we have this had that attachment is is key is critical and remind so
every Surah are most So doesn't this just start with himself? Do you have at least four or five of
		
00:34:14 --> 00:34:28
			them reminding you of that piece? Everything exalts a lot you said the map is similar to mapping up
all that into cosmos and all of that on Earth, continues to exalt ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada. And then he
describes himself as molecule could do similar diseases.
		
00:34:30 --> 00:34:31
			So why these four
		
00:34:32 --> 00:34:37
			He's establishing for use upon or what Allah why he is worthy of leadership.
		
00:34:38 --> 00:34:59
			Why he is worthy of being followed? Why do you follow Him? subhanaw taala and do what he says well,
he's gonna give you four names that will allow you to understand why number one, He is admitted he
is the king. He owns it all. the sovereignty of all of this is in his hands so no one else really
has any sovereignty on it. He's the King is it you and I are our property of Allah subhanho wa Taala
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:09
			Is your wall stamped it's made by Allah. It's all his no one else owns anything. So there's no point
in going to anyone else because it's all his anyways
		
00:35:11 --> 00:35:14
			produce the holy the sacred
		
00:35:16 --> 00:35:18
			produce is the one who
		
00:35:21 --> 00:35:22
			is flawless.
		
00:35:23 --> 00:36:00
			So at the beginning of the semester you said behold Allah. So let's just be as to exalt Mr.
Subhanallah building Subhanallah Bella. So what is exalting mean? It means that you claim no flaw,
you claim no flaw, you see no imperfection, you see no mistake or fault by him. subhanaw taala
everything that you don't like, you hold yourself accountable, and you accept from him Subhanallah
which Allah knowing that it's maybe some you just don't understand at this point. And you can this
is, this is an extremely specific aspect of who you are as a Muslim, by the way in comparison to
other faiths, not even to none, not to non believers, or even people who believe in God but have
		
00:36:00 --> 00:36:30
			their own system of belief as a Muslim is, this is a piece that you stand out in the way that you
speak about Allah subhanaw taala where you speak to Allah subhanaw taala who is a producer, he is
the one who makes no mistakes. If you want to who else would you look for leadership like Who else
would you follow? Right? He does this Allah subhanaw taala in the Quran, Rob will magically will
magically be La ilaha illa Huwa. But Joaquina he makes a selling point here, here's why you
shouldn't here's why you should have this loss. Here's why you should have
		
00:36:32 --> 00:37:07
			let me tell you about myself. So you understand why he's worthy. Why, why am I am worthy of your
trust, you should use you jealous at all. He doesn't need to do it because he doesn't he he explains
himself to you a little bit so they understand that he's not asking you to follow by No. Follow him
to pounce on him because he's the king in magic. So he owns it all he was produced and he is the one
who makes no mistakes. So when he when he when he gives you direction that he has a license he has
the unfathomable meaning his knowledge is way beyond yours. You cannot even you can't comprehend
what it is that he does. And he is unbeatable ly as he is as a couple of meanings unfathomable and
		
00:37:07 --> 00:37:07
			I'm
		
00:37:09 --> 00:37:53
			gonna call him Mr. Salli wa Cavalli, Yanni later on provider, and as usual, we'll have our legally
liable number is the one who's the Conqueror who cannot be beaten. He's not, which is the same
concept of unfathomable if you understand like the point, but it's not necessary for this for this
talk. As he's the one who he's always the king he owns at all. He's a producer, you will make the
right decisions. He doesn't make easily he is as easy as the Unfabulous is not us not beatable, and
he's keen, he's the all wise. Because if if, without that BS, you start wondering, Well, if he's
this, he's that strong, and he owns all of that, and he is beyond blame, then how do I know that he
		
00:37:53 --> 00:37:55
			doesn't just say whatever.
		
00:37:56 --> 00:38:12
			Because he's not, he's not accountable? And he was he isn't? And how do I know that he's not going
to tell me to go do something that's going to harm me he's lucky he does the all wise to all that he
tells you to do is only within your best interest. You'll never tell you to do something that's not
in your best interest ever. Who else do you want?
		
00:38:13 --> 00:38:48
			Someone else that's not the king. That's not the holy. That's not the unfathomable subpoena without
that's not the always well, so he pitched you pitch something for you. This is why you should this
is why you should listen. This is why I am worthy of you following subpoena with the other use these
four names for that, for that reason use case you were wondering why? Because it's the only idea
that we have that way, right. The only one that's similar to it is the one that you'd like recited
at the end of the show. Hola, hola, de la ilaha illa Guatemala, Mexico could do so sit down with him
and then we talked about why those names were together at that point. But here these names are
		
00:38:48 --> 00:39:29
			medical producing is easier Hakeem is putting forth the pillars of what you need in a good leader.
You need someone who takes ownership and Medic you need someone who sees the purpose to be larger
than personal interests of produce there's there's a there's a holy matter to the sanctity to the
whole story. It's not just based on their personal interest and not trying to take something in for
themselves. Maybe a leader that's leading you in a direction will where they will only go benefit
personally it doesn't really matter what you what happens to you they're trying to get more status
more power, more fame or strength like get voted or get politically a claim for something. You want
		
00:39:29 --> 00:39:59
			someone who is wholly who will do it for a higher purposes, the purpose of the good of all you want
someone who takes ownership and Melek someone who doesn't take ownership over stuff it doesn't feel
that he's responsible won't do a good job. If they'll just do their they'll do all right and then
when things don't work it not my problem. I know you want to someone who feels that everything
that's going like say no more. Say no more. I would say I wake up at night wondering if I should
have paved this road earlier.
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:22
			Should I have noticed that I have not maybe pushed it until next year? Should I have done it right
now? Because maybe wait, maybe a couple of sheep walk down that path and fall. And then Allah asked
me, Why didn't you pave the road for the Myanmar? Do you have the ability to do it? It took
ownership on what he had. He felt that he leaders who don't feel that way, leaders who don't feel
that they are responsible for that for those whom they are lifted at the congregation are the people
that they're leading aren't good leaders.
		
00:40:23 --> 00:41:02
			Leaders who are willing to have others suffer as they continue to do well aren't leaders they have
to be willing to Emilich there's ownership in that he's using the words that you can understand
without because because we can't obviously project our values on Allah subhanho wa Taala human
leader is not similar to Allah subhanho wa uses the words that have the concepts that you can
understand there's many keys the owner to understand there's ownership and his in his name Subhana
wa Tada regarding the first piece that is holy is not based on his personal interest, he's not
looking to benefit somehow, as you burn your burn your wheel or spin your wheels or broken your,
		
00:41:02 --> 00:41:08
			your tires for him. No, it's there's a hope there's a there's a sacred aspect of why you're doing
what you're doing. So as these
		
00:41:09 --> 00:41:25
			if there's a concept of, of strength and power, and it's, he says, Just strength strong leader, he's
not a weak leader. He's not a leader who goes in and afraid he's gonna leave the upper back could
back out. And he's gonna Hakeem is he always is not someone who was who lacks wisdom.
		
00:41:26 --> 00:41:44
			A leader that lacks wisdom may have good intentions, and may love you very much. You may work hard
for you, but he will run you into a brick wall. If there's like a wisdom, you don't know where to
go, you know what, what the right choices versus the wrong choice. But honestly, Anything's better
than I actually started doing this. And I didn't do it. I didn't do it.
		
00:41:46 --> 00:41:55
			My son has at home. A chicken toy. He ripped the head off a year ago. So it's a
		
00:41:57 --> 00:41:58
			headless chicken.
		
00:42:00 --> 00:42:06
			I thought I'm bringing it one day and Joe mind just putting it there. This is what we are. We are
this toy. We are a headless chicken.
		
00:42:07 --> 00:42:21
			We suffer because this is what we are ahead. We don't have. We don't have. We don't we don't know
where we're going. We don't know what we're doing. We don't know what we're trying to achieve. I
don't know what we're I don't know what the next steps are. I don't know what the priorities are. I
don't have we don't know, honestly, this last pieces of Hala.
		
00:42:23 --> 00:42:55
			The as horrible as these 110 or 107 days have been as horrible as they had been. And honestly,
they've been the worst I've experienced in a long time since maybe coming back from Syria and maybe
2015 When the bombings were really bad, you the helpless feeling. But what did happen, at least in
the first maybe 45 days to 50 days is that we had a little bit of leadership going on. It happened
organically, anytime a problem would happen, people would turn to either NCCM or hikmah. And they
kind of fused together in terms of their in terms of their
		
00:42:56 --> 00:43:28
			consultation and discussions. And all of them massage it and everyone just turned to whatever they
were saying what do we do next? This is what we do next. And it felt really nice. For a very short
period of time, I felt like we had something going something worthy. We had like some direction,
there was a group that was kind of telling the whole community this what the next step is, and
everyone was except, and that would be beautiful if you were able to continue that. And I'm not I
don't belong to either of these organizations, nor do I know the people who run it. So I have no, I
have no My heart is not in this political arena. I don't care. Like I just liked the feeling of
		
00:43:28 --> 00:44:01
			there being some degree of leadership of unity, that not every Mercy was doing its own thing. We
were all turning to the same group wondering what we should do next. Because none of us knew what to
do next. Because we all came to the same conclusion that maybe we act like we know what we're doing.
But then this problem came around and we knew nothing I had no none of us had any clue what how do
we deal with this? We don't we don't know how to advocate and we don't know how to reach the people
who have political pull, and everyone is suffering and in tears and people are in pain. And we are
seeing something horrific and and Jomo why can I so I stand here on the jumble and I get all upset
		
00:44:01 --> 00:44:03
			and you get up. So I don't know what's
		
00:44:04 --> 00:44:42
			so what's who's listening. I'm preaching to Mike to the choir, then the people who actually have
pulled aren't listening to what we have to say they don't care. How do we reach them? We didn't
think about that piece. And then this happened. It was nice that first 45 days we had that for a
little bit and then it went away again. And we were back to square one. But it would be nice. If
you're if cities, like if you have a model was able to emerge where you actually had some degree of
leadership for the community. Instead of everyone. You have any other Leila as they say, just
singing the dancing to their own tunes, doing their own thing, because we are too stubborn or to
		
00:44:42 --> 00:44:59
			need arrogance, or we don't or we just like the other group or we think that they're deviant or we
think that this we think they're that so we're not willing to work with them or we want to exile
them. We want to remove ourselves from them. We want to act like our little group. This is the only
group this is the
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:16
			This is a horrible way of going by things. To think that your small little group is somehow this
grandiose some tiny group approach of the, you actually think that this little message and this
corner of the world, and this city that no one even knows belongs to this country to begin with
cares
		
00:45:17 --> 00:45:27
			Do you think we're going to know or not? The only value we're going to have is that we're a part of
a bigger picture. And for a part of what's happening elsewhere, we and we advocate for that unity
and that oneness.
		
00:45:30 --> 00:46:10
			Subhanallah, we, we don't study our history. So we don't know. Go look at what happened in this. It
was a beautiful, beautiful experience for the Muslims for the first bit. It was beautiful when they
first got because I need to Europe got to see religion and science come in hand in hand. And the
filthy land LLC, which is something that I hope in Charlotte to run this course on here at some
point. In the future, I just have to have the reason I just have to put together the slides and
whatnot. The tail end LOC is extremely interesting. Because it's fifth, there's a lot of Maliki
scholars who are in in in NGOs, and other scholars from other backgrounds, some of them hi Nabila.
		
00:46:12 --> 00:46:42
			And the filth, the jurisprudence that came from an endless was just as mesmerizing. Some of them
some of those opinions didn't make it to mainstream, but they're in books that were written 9900
years ago. opinions that when I say people look at me, like I, any ball will move all those words or
issues, but I can pull, I can pull a book that's 850 years old, where it says certain theory by an
imam that you can't touch. You can call me what you want, you can touch him. He's way he's from your
setup Assad, you can talk.
		
00:46:43 --> 00:47:23
			And the reason the reason that's the case is because and it was, it was a different it was a new
culture a new place. So as it always should be, it grows as time and space change. So the fact that
exists in Baghdad and the sham and gufa and existed in firstlight and existed in Miguel Medina. And
he was it was it works for the people living there. But within that when the scholars went and lived
in in the US, in Barcelona and Baleia, and Soviet, he lived in these cities. And then they built
these, he made these, these were built by the these Muslims, they had to have a different filter,
through their filter it was was beautiful.
		
00:47:24 --> 00:48:00
			If you study the names of them Maliki for kaha Indras, you'll find them describe kind of Akiha and
Muhaddith. And Barry and look away and look away. And as he moves up, and he was the some of the the
Maliki scholars, they invented instruments. They invented instruments, forget about them, they
invented instruments, because they're living it was a different culture there. So their
understanding of film was very different than any man living. So I don't think they were writing
these men wrong. I'm just saying that there's a difference in how they would view certain things
that difference is worthy of anyways, it was a beautiful, beautiful thing that happened. And then it
		
00:48:00 --> 00:48:26
			fell and it fell. It was painful when it felt it was horrible when it fell. Actually some of the
most gruesome and disgusting stories of torture and myths and mistreatment of human beings occurred
when the Muslims were on their way out. And the Muslim who stayed there were There are museums that
talk of the horrors of the Muslim saw when that and why did it fall? It fell because of every small
every couple of cities had a ruler and the ruler wanted
		
00:48:28 --> 00:48:36
			to be independent from everyone else. And every this instead of having a unified front, you had like
50 small kingdoms, so they just picked them like
		
00:48:38 --> 00:48:54
			they picked him off. Like it's nothing. It's like shoot shooting down soda cans. They felt one after
the other. They tumbled like dominoes. It was nothing. And they took no Muslims usually put up a
fight nothing. And then there was nothing at the end, it was nothing. There was it felt so, so
painfully,
		
00:48:55 --> 00:49:34
			because there was this lack of willingness to work together. Even if you don't like the other person
or you think that they are this or they think that they are that we can't afford to do that. We're
too weak. We're in the wrong part of our history to be discussing and arguing over small issues of
fit. We just did. We can't we're not in that position. We're not We're not there. They could easily
do that back in the early stages of our life and no problem for the for the scholars of the Hanafi
and Maliki metab to sit and debate upon aspects of Salah and which is more correct in terms of the
movements and in the sequences and no problem are this to the followers of Imam Shafi and the Imam
		
00:49:34 --> 00:49:59
			Muhammad to sit down and debate for hours issues if it is fine. There are others position where
Muslims were strong, there was unity there was you can sit down you have the luxury of talking about
details. We don't have the luxury of talking about details today. We don't and we shouldn't be doing
that we should be focusing on the basics like Joomla, for example, on the basics like Joomla, that
making sure that Joomla is run appropriately that people have incentive to come to Joomla that they
come here and they get served
		
00:50:00 --> 00:50:08
			spiritually, religiously and then financially and socially and, and in every way possible you make
it you incentivizes and when people come not,
		
00:50:09 --> 00:50:40
			you give them reason to come to them are Allah who are called upon to know gives them reason to
come, give them reason to him, give them benefit and make sure that you use it in the best interest
of the community. That's what you do. You focus on the basics. What's more basic than Juma? What's
more basic than the than the number one ritual that we have in our deen? And we still can't get that
right. If you can't get that right, we're gonna sit down and argue about your opinions within
tertiary issues. And whether it's okay to do this. What are you doing? This is not
		
00:50:42 --> 00:51:15
			I'm coming to a point where I when I read a Q and A's and I just if a question comes to like, nope,
not important enough not answering that question. It's not important, it doesn't rank within the
first 100 things that we care about as Muslims, go look it up. I don't care. I'm not gonna answer
that because not worth the time, not worth the discussion not worth the difference we have, we're
dealing with problems that are much more dire. We're dealing with substance abuse and, and severe
anxiety and depression and people leaving the dean and suicidal attempts and families being broken
down. And we're losing not only identity in our language, but we're losing, you're going to talk to
		
00:51:15 --> 00:51:15
			me about
		
00:51:18 --> 00:51:19
			why some of the questions are just
		
00:51:20 --> 00:51:48
			some questions I get I delete the contact immediately. I lost the hand, I don't want to see this. If
certain questions are just being asked about stuff that tells me that you need to sit and we have to
go through the priorities. How is this issue even? How is this important? When what in what scenario
of life? Are some of these questions important? I can't imagine I struggled with imagining how this
issue is coming up and why we're talking about it to begin with. And it comes from that from this
problem.
		
00:51:49 --> 00:52:01
			That's what happens when there's no leadership, there's no direction. There's, there's loss. So we
talk about anything. So we'll discuss anything, and we'll talk about anything, and we'll disagree
about anything, and we'll debate anything, and it just becomes
		
00:52:03 --> 00:52:06
			asking me whether, you know, eight or 20 luck, I'm
		
00:52:09 --> 00:52:11
			sure. That is
		
00:52:12 --> 00:52:13
			for sure. The
		
00:52:14 --> 00:52:27
			if we got that one, right, everything would work, the borders within the Muslim countries would all
fall down and people of designers would just leave immediately and everything would just work if you
just got eight or 20. For sure, that would make a big difference.
		
00:52:28 --> 00:53:08
			We have to be you have to start we as we don't we have to, we have to we can't afford not to as most
of you can't afford not to start thinking a little bit bigger. So looking at what actually matters
and what we're losing, we're losing ground, every day we sleep and wake up, we lose ground, we lose,
we lose from our own, we can't prove it. We want it you want to reach out to new Muslims, reserve
your own, have a system where you can hold on to your own way, we don't have our children going to
high schools and then 50% of them coming out, not ever wanting to go not ever going to a masjid
again, or falling into issues of Yanni of atheism and Xena and it just in my arm and you just
		
00:53:08 --> 00:53:25
			falling into issues that will ruin whatever is and families being ripped, ripped to pieces and
people this is what has this, this is what has to be discussed. And this one has to be fixed, or at
least has to have a system that allows it to function better. We have to have those services
available and has to be prioritized for us. And that's where the efforts have to be put.
		
00:53:26 --> 00:53:48
			And just going back to some of the basics in Islam, and we would be much better as we would do with
the solution to our problems is not that difficult, that we always say the solution is Islam. And I
agree. But I sometimes wonder when you say Islam, what are you thinking about? You said the
assumption of Islam? What do you mean? What What do you mean? And what aspects of it that you see
missing? You want back? What is it?
		
00:53:49 --> 00:54:05
			It's you see some people that don't have beards is that was bothering you you want them to is that?
Is that the problem? What is it? What do you mean? Explain to me when you say that the solution is
Islam? Because that's a big word. That's a huge umbrella statement. I love it. But what is I agree?
Of course it is. It's why I wouldn't I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't agree. But what exactly is
missing?
		
00:54:06 --> 00:54:44
			If you can talk about the basics, just the basics of what our deen is built upon, then, because
that's what we don't function at the basic level. We don't function at the basic level. That's why
Senator Joe Manchin is important, because there's nothing more basic than that. What's more basic
notes about your mom, and yet nothing. It's just, it's chaotic, and it's a circus, and it's up for
grabs. And it's used just so that institutions can get more people in so maybe get more done. It's a
complete waste. There's no leadership and it's like the one thing that is there for it is not none
of that is it is the one thing that Jim are supposed to do, which is to bring leadership is not
		
00:54:44 --> 00:54:45
			there. What's the point then?
		
00:54:47 --> 00:54:59
			What are we doing this to begin with? That's what it's for. It's for leadership. That's why it's
there is to make sure that the Muslims are not a headless chicken, whether they're in a as a
minority, or as a majority or whatever it is.
		
00:55:00 --> 00:55:01
			It was very hard during these these
		
00:55:04 --> 00:55:15
			these 100 days, the first seven, eight hope was that I give the most difficult I've ever given
because I don't know what to say, What am I going to tell people? What do I have to share with you?
What do I share with you? What would I stand up there and say,
		
00:55:16 --> 00:55:26
			I have nothing, I have no pull. I have no ability to make any difference at all. Forget about what's
happening there. I don't have a building make a difference in my own community. So what I'm going to
send up on the member and say,
		
00:55:28 --> 00:56:04
			there's nothing but understand the problem. There's nothing. I couldn't say anything I can up there
and tell you Yeah, it's sad. And it's hard, and I'm in pain. And you're in pain, too. And I'm sorry,
this is happening. And I wish it wasn't. But I don't know what to tell you. Because I have no
authority or autonomy. No one else does, either. And if someone did, I'm happy to speak on their
behalf and tell you what the next steps should be. Aside from a few Jonnie silent protests. And if
you need the email sent and phone calls made that was it was very pathetic. I felt very pathetic.
These 100 days have humbled me, I love many, many, many levels. And this is definitely one of them.
		
00:56:04 --> 00:56:32
			Right? I felt that I was very useless. That this is not functional. It should be it isn't. Shouldn't
be. So if you want Islam back, let's talk let's talk the basics. Let's talk some of the basic stuff.
Just Just the basics. We can go into details later and we can defer on details. No problem but let's
go back to what Islam is the religion is built upon. And that's why this sutra to me is extremely,
extremely valuable. And that's where the tie between would recite it every Thursday night Anisha
		
00:56:33 --> 00:57:00
			the they don't attribute it to the Prophet Allah you saw some directly but 10s of the type beings
would do this in this unknown practice all across the the Muslim world as a sentiment of this is
what this is for. And this is what needs to stay as and I'll end with that. I'm sorry, we only got
through one area, but the next week inshallah we'll we'll do a bit more spikelet Allah so he'll go
to Allah wa salam O Allah. Mohammed on earth he was talking to me he's like my love hate on the
