00:04:01 --> 00:04:04
			of khutab of bayat al-aqaba of the
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:08
			pledge or the bayat al-aqaba that occurred
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:13
			during the 12th year of the Prophet's prophecy
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:16
			I have shared with you the first two
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:21
			articles of that pledge and today I'm going
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:22
			to talk about the third article of the
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:26
			pledge maintaining that the purpose of this series
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:28
			and the purpose of me talking about this
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:31
			topic is that as the Ansar were granted
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:34
			the opportunity to do this they did it
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:37
			and the consequences of them doing this was
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:41
			the Prophet coming to their city entering their
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:45
			lives and for them to become a part
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:48
			of his story and a central part of
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:50
			his ummah for us to hope to be
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:52
			of the same status or for us to
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:55
			hope to follow in those footsteps and to
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:58
			be a part of his legacy a central
		
00:04:58 --> 00:04:59
			part of his ummah that we have to
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:02
			also offer that which the Ansar offered themselves
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:05
			or else there's going to be something there's
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:07
			going to be a problem with justice and
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:09
			fairness if the Ansar had to offer this
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:11
			pledge in order for them to be granted
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:13
			what they were granted in their lives with
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:16
			him then we have to do the same
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:18
			at least the same if we hope to
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:21
			get the same if we want the Prophet
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:24
			and Islam to be a central part of
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:25
			our lives and for us to belong to
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:27
			this ummah truly so on the day of
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:31
			judgement when the Prophet calls upon his ummah
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:33
			and says ummati, my nation that you are
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:36
			going to be considered amongst that group then
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:38
			you have to offer this you have to
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:40
			offer these five articles and you have to
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:42
			perform your bay'ah with Rasool Allah he
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:45
			is not here physically to do it with
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:46
			him but you can do it all the
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:51
			same and the first article was the adherence
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:54
			and followership of his teachings for better or
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:55
			for worse when it's easy or when it's
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:59
			difficult the second article was committing your wealth
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:02
			and the third article that I'm going to
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:06
			share with you today he asked for this
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:11
			he asked for the commitment to reforming values
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:14
			reforming social values and I have to explain
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:16
			this a little bit because it's important to
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:19
			understand the difference between da'wah and between
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:24
			there's overlap for sure but there's a difference
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:27
			that makes this term in the Qur'an
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:28
			very specific in what Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:30
			'ala is trying to point out to us
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:31
			and if you follow it in the Qur
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:33
			'an you'll find it and the ayah that
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:34
			I shared with you at the beginning of
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:35
			this khutbah where Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:38
			says you are the best nation ever presented
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:42
			to humanity the best nation that followed prophets
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:44
			that was presented to the human race was
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:47
			the nation the Prophet a.s. presented was
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:48
			the people who were with him and when
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:50
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala takes the time
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:54
			to explain to us the reason of their
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:58
			khairiyah of that description of being the best
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:03
			ummah he said and then he said he
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:06
			made it third he made the iman billah
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:08
			third to these two topics and there's something
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:10
			obviously in that for us to learn and
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:11
			this is why it's important to talk about
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:14
			this topic and the ansar who were listening
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:20
			to him asked for understood because these terms
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:26
			the concept of was very clear to every
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:28
			arabic person they knew what it meant so
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:31
			they knew what he was asking for I
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:33
			feel like it's not as clear to us
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:34
			today and I want to make sure that
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:37
			it is that's why in the same surah
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:45
			he says and there will be amongst you
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:47
			people who will call to that which is
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:51
			good and they'll perform so what does it
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:56
			mean khairiyah al munkar are two concepts they're
		
00:07:56 --> 00:08:00
			phrases that have a social definition they have
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:05
			a social definition they're understood socially in islam
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:10
			has importance what the norm of the people
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:12
			is has importance it's not always right but
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:14
			it has importance it has weight in how
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:17
			you're going to be addressing things socially and
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:19
			how islam is going to be seen within
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:21
			a society so when you come to a
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:22
			society you have to know what their ma
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:25
			'ruf and what their munkar is and what
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:27
			part of their ma'ruf you agree with
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:30
			and what part of their munkar you agree
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:32
			with and the opposite what do they call
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:34
			ma'ruf that you don't call ma'ruf
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:35
			what do they call munkar that you don't
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:40
			call munkar because when it's different when you
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:43
			actually don't agree then that's where that's where
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:45
			reform comes in and that's where we actually
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:47
			have to start challenging and when we agree
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:48
			that is where we come and we emphasize
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:51
			and we reinforce the good that they have
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:56
			that being said we have to differentiate these
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:59
			terms from the term of someone for example
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:01
			who's not praying and not fasting now it
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:03
			is not praying a munkar it is in
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:05
			the general term in the general understanding of
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:08
			the word but to be accurate not praying
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:11
			is a kabira it's a musiba it's a
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:14
			ma'asiyah munkar is something that is similar
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:15
			but a little bit different because munkar is
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:18
			a social behavior it's a social behavior that
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:22
			society has an opinion on and it's something
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:26
			that affects society at large your rituals are
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:27
			ma'asiyah they are kabair when they are
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:29
			left or they are not done appropriately and
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:31
			that has to be addressed and that will
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:33
			be addressed via da'wa that's what da
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:34
			'wa is for amal al ma'ruf al
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:38
			munkar is a social movement it's the social
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:42
			aspect of the Islamic movement it's a social
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:44
			aspect to how Islam functions where it comes
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:47
			and it looks at values and it reinforces
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:49
			the values that are agreed upon to be
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:52
			good and it challenges the ones that are
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:54
			not agreed upon it challenges the ones that
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:56
			the society in front of you does not
		
00:09:56 --> 00:10:00
			necessarily take seriously or agree with you in
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:01
			the way that you see it this is
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:03
			very important that's why I'm choosing my words
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:05
			carefully so you understand what I'm talking about
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:07
			at the end of it because I'm not
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:08
			saying that we don't perform da'wa da
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:10
			'wa is going to be performed and we're
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:11
			going to talk about that in these articles
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:13
			later it's very important but da'wa has
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:15
			an art to it there's a way of
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:16
			doing it there are certain things that we
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:18
			have to respect in how we do it
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:20
			in how we approach people but amal al
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:21
			ma'ruf al ma'ruf al ma'ruf
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:23
			is different it's a different thing altogether that's
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:24
			why when Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala wanted
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:27
			to define munafiqeen he said al munafiqoon wa
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:31
			al munafiqatu ba'duhum min ba'd ya'muruna bil munkari
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:34
			wa yanhawna alil ma'rufi wa yaqbiduna idiyahun
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:36
			nasu Allah fa nasiyahum the munafiqeen are all
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:40
			from one another they command al munkar and
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:42
			they discourage ma'ruf and they hold back
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:44
			their wealth they go against two articles of
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:46
			the five they go against two of the
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:48
			five articles that's how they're defined in the
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:51
			Quran that's been the problem when Allah subhanahu
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:52
			wa ta'ala talks about the Prophet alayhi
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:54
			salatu wa salam from a perspective of other
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:58
			faiths he said allatheena yattabi'oon alrasool annabiyya
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:02
			al ummi allathee yajidoonahu maktooban indahum fittawati wal
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:05
			injeel ya'muruhum bil ma'rufi wa yanhawna alil
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:08
			munkar wa yuhilulahum uttayibati wa yuharrimu alayhim ul
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:10
			khabaitha wa yada'u anhum israhum wal aghlal
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:13
			allathee kanat alayhim when the Quran defines for
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:15
			people who are non-Muslim or people who
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:18
			came before Muslims who the Prophet alayhi salatu
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:20
			wa salam was going to be annabiyya al
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:24
			ummi the Quran described him as ya'muruhum bil
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:27
			ma'rufi wa yanhawna alil munkar starting with
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:29
			the social values and how they're going to
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:32
			be the good was going to be reinforced
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:34
			and the bad was going to be reinforced
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:37
			and that which went against the word of
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:38
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala was going to
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:42
			be reformed every prophet if you can every
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:46
			prophet has a story of reform meaning this
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:48
			challenge of Ibrahim was different than the challenge
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:51
			of Lut different than the challenge of Shu
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:53
			'ayb different than the challenge of Musa alayhi
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:55
			salam they all have unique challenges where they
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:57
			had to come and perform and actually achieve
		
00:11:57 --> 00:12:00
			reform they had to ya'muruhum bil ma'rufi
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:01
			wa yanhawna alil munkar why is this an
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:02
			article?
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:03
			why does this matter?
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:07
			because it's not popular because it's not popular
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:10
			it makes you it takes away your popularity
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:12
			immediately the most popular the moment you start
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:15
			pointing out that's not ok and that has
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:17
			to stop and you actually start pushing it
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:20
			this is why the hadith that we have
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:21
			the hadith that is in the sahih especially
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:24
			on Muslim and parts of it in Bukhari
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:26
			as well where the prophet alayhi salam said
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:41
			ya'muruhum bil ma'rufi because
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:42
			you're not going to change a ma'asiyah
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:45
			most of the time someone who is who
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:48
			is sinning I don't have I don't have
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:50
			the authority to go and change their ma
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:51
			'asiyah with my hands that's why the hadith
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:53
			is talking about munkar but munkar I do
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:56
			see munkar for example for example a ma
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:59
			'ruf that exists in this community is that
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:04
			people respect respect lines they stand in line
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:06
			they stand in line and the person who
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:08
			comes in late stands in line have you
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:10
			been to a middle eastern country have you
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:12
			ever seen a line I have never stood
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:14
			in my line I've stood there for most
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:15
			of my life not once did I stand
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:17
			in a line it is the norm that
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:19
			you enter and you shove and you push
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:20
			and you elbow people and if you have
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:22
			someone that knows you up front then immediately
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:24
			an empathism plays in and you find your
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:26
			way up front it's the norm it's a
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:28
			bad norm it's a munkar it's a munkar
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:29
			that the society over there does not see
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:31
			as munkar and Muslims would have to actually
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:34
			fight against right here it's a ma'roof
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:36
			standing in line so if someone breaks the
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:39
			line had a munkar right this is a
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:40
			munkar and you have to change with your
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:44
			hand you go and you intervene personally nope
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:47
			it's not happening why because this because the
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:50
			moment we stop pushing against munkar and we
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:54
			stop emphasizing ma'roof the values of society
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:57
			begin to dissolve and then ethics are gone
		
00:13:57 --> 00:14:01
			and then society is ruined you see Muslims
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:04
			were like that a thousand years ago we
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:06
			didn't have this problem you didn't go to
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:08
			buy hubbas and feel that you were preparing
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:11
			for war and feel that you were victorious
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:13
			when you walked away with it it wasn't
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:15
			like that no people respected one another stood
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:17
			in line we lost that because we lost
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:20
			this aspect of the way we behaved we
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:22
			stopped pointing out you see a younger person
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:27
			standing there smoking that's munkar that's munkar you
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:28
			go and point no that's not okay this
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:30
			is a minor he shouldn't be doing that
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:34
			today anyone who gets involved in other people's
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:37
			business is immediately called a name and seen
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:39
			as something negative not all the time is
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:42
			that negative yes you have your privacy in
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:44
			this world but that privacy ends and that
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:47
			personal freedom ends when you are challenging good
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:50
			values good social values when you are trying
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:54
			to ruin with your behavior, social values, social
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:56
			values, then someone, we have to intervene.
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:58
			Now, if you don't pray, that's your problem.
		
00:14:58 --> 00:14:59
			That's your akhirah.
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:00
			We will perform da'wah with you.
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:01
			We will come and talk to you about
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:01
			it.
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:02
			And we'll remind you.
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:03
			And if you're not doing siyam, and if
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:05
			you're not, these are your personal rituals.
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:07
			It's a museeba that you're not doing them,
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:09
			but that's going to affect only you.
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:11
			But when you ruin ma'roof and munkar,
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:13
			when you start, when ma'roof starts being
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:15
			ma'roof, and munkar starts being munkar, then,
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:17
			then nothing is left.
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:19
			There's no, there's no room for Islam to
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:20
			be practiced anyways.
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:22
			The deen is going to be lost completely,
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:24
			which is why the Prophet ﷺ asked for
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:25
			this article.
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:27
			I'm going to need you to do this.
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:29
			I'm not going to come and say, you
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:31
			guys are good, everything you're doing is good.
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:32
			Keep status quo.
		
00:15:32 --> 00:15:34
			No, I'm going to come and I'm going
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:34
			to challenge you.
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:36
			And I'm going to look at your ma
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:37
			'roof and munkar and see if they're right
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:38
			or not.
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:39
			And if they're not right, I'm going to
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:40
			fix it.
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:42
			I'm going to actually command that which is
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:42
			great.
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:45
			And I'm going to discourage and command to
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:46
			leave that which is not, and you may
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:47
			not agree with it or like it.
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:48
			And that was hard.
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:54
			That was a part of that, right?
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:55
			Because that affects everybody.
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:57
			Drugs is a part of it.
		
00:15:57 --> 00:16:00
			So we live in a country where, technically
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:02
			speaking, usage of drug use and alcohol is
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:06
			not something that people emphasize or encourage.
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:10
			It's socially amongst people accepted, but the government
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:11
			doesn't look at it that way.
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:13
			Meaning the way that it's talked about on
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:16
			formal platforms is that this is something that's
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:16
			negative.
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:18
			That's in keeping with our values.
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:19
			As Muslims, we have to push that even
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:21
			farther because it's a munkar that we agree
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:22
			with.
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:23
			So we push against, but then they have
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:25
			other stuff and then they have issues of
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:27
			fawahish that they don't see to be munkar
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:27
			anymore.
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:29
			They see the fawahish and they don't see
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:30
			it to be munkar.
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:30
			It's not munkar.
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:31
			It's ma'roof.
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:32
			Two people hook up.
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:34
			They go sleep together for a couple of
		
00:16:34 --> 00:16:34
			years.
		
00:16:34 --> 00:16:34
			No zaraj.
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:35
			There's no problem.
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:36
			No, there's a problem.
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:39
			That's munkar because that affects how society functions.
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:42
			That affects how people see themselves.
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:44
			That affects how people build relationships, how families
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:45
			are built.
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:46
			So we have to speak up against this.
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:49
			We did it for so long that now
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:51
			we're in the defensive position where we're just
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:56
			trying to prevent the tsunami of social value
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:59
			changes from wiping out our own ma'roof
		
00:16:59 --> 00:16:59
			and munkar.
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:02
			We're scared for our own definitions now because
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:04
			we did not immediately come to society and
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:05
			say this is ma'roof and this is
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:05
			munkar.
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:07
			We want you to change these things.
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:08
			We're going to talk about them.
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:10
			This type of behavior is unacceptable.
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:11
			We didn't do that.
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:13
			So now we're barely able to hold on
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:14
			to our own ma'roof and our own
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:17
			munkar anymore because we made a mistake.
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:19
			We made a fundamental mistake that the Prophet
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:20
			ﷺ said very clearly.
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:20
			No, no, no.
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:21
			We're going to amr.
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:22
			I need you to do amr of ma
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:22
			'roof and ma'roof of munkar.
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:23
			They understood.
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:24
			They also understood.
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:25
			Yeah, okay.
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:29
			Yeah, slavery has to be frowned upon and
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:29
			it was.
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:31
			People have to be freed.
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:32
			The Arabs didn't like that.
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:33
			Yeah.
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:35
			Domestic abuse had to stop and women had
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:37
			rights and they were able to choose their
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:38
			spouses and they inherited and they worked and
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:39
			they owned their own wealth.
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:41
			It wasn't like that before Islam.
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:42
			It wasn't.
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:44
			If you don't know the history of the
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:44
			peninsula, go read it.
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:45
			It's really simple.
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:46
			It's very simple.
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:48
			There's not a lot of difference opinion of
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:50
			how things function in Arabia pre-Islam.
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:52
			The pre-Islamic era was very clear on
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:53
			how people behaved.
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:57
			The Prophet ﷺ's main reason for other tribes
		
00:17:57 --> 00:17:59
			not to like him and not to want
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:00
			to be a part of him is because
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:01
			of the amr of ma'roof and munkar
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:02
			piece.
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:05
			Exactly like today, they would tell him, just
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:06
			don't touch this one.
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:07
			Don't do this.
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:08
			Can you not talk about this piece?
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:10
			Can you not get involved with our wealth?
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:13
			Don't even get involved with how we treat
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:15
			our youth or treat our slaves or treat
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:16
			our women or treat.
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:18
			Don't get involved with that piece.
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:18
			Can you not touch that piece?
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:19
			They told him this.
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:21
			So then Mecca, before Medina, they told him
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:21
			this.
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:23
			They said, so Allah will accept Islam.
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:23
			Imagine that.
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:24
			Imagine that.
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:25
			Imagine that.
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:27
			Imagine in Mecca, Abu Jahl and Uqba and
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:30
			Walid and all said, we'll accept Islam.
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:30
			We'll be Muslim.
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:35
			Finally, just one condition.
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:36
			We don't sit with the slaves.
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:39
			Like Bilal, Ammar, Suhaib, they sit alone.
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:39
			We sit alone.
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:42
			Small, no.
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:43
			Absolutely not.
		
00:18:44 --> 00:18:45
			This is not, no.
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:47
			So you know why?
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:48
			Because this is a social value.
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:49
			I refuse.
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:50
			We are equal.
		
00:18:50 --> 00:18:51
			This is the ma'roof that we carry.
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:52
			That human beings are equal.
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:54
			Doesn't matter where we come from, what color
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:56
			of skin you carry or your lineage or
		
00:18:56 --> 00:18:57
			how much money you have.
		
00:18:57 --> 00:18:59
			It makes no difference for Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:00
			ta'ala or this message or for Muslims.
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:02
			We are all, we all stand here as
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:03
			equal in the eyes of Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:03
			ta'ala.
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:05
			That's the ma'roof that we hold on
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:05
			to.
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:08
			So the Prophet alayhi salatu was not about
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:10
			to remove his ma'roof and take it
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:12
			into Mecca just to please people.
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:15
			But Ya Rasulullah, the leaders of Mecca are
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:16
			going to accept your deen.
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:17
			That doesn't matter.
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:18
			I don't care.
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:21
			You accept Islam as it is, you don't
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:22
			get to come and change things.
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:43
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says the disbelievers
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:47
			from Bani Israel were cursed on the tongue
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:49
			of Dawud and Isa.
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:52
			And the reason that the Quran points out
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:57
			is that they will see munkar and they
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:58
			wouldn't do anything about it.
		
00:19:58 --> 00:20:00
			They wouldn't say that, no, we shouldn't be
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:01
			doing that.
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:02
			That's not okay.
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:04
			You can't speak to people like that.
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:06
			You can't treat others like that.
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:08
			You can't behave that way.
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:08
			That's not okay.
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:10
			You are disrespecting others and you are ruining
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:12
			societal values that we carry.
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:13
			You're not allowed to do that.
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:14
			They let it go.
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:14
			Why?
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:16
			Because the person is known or they're wealthy
		
00:20:16 --> 00:20:19
			or they're popular or people just don't care.
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:20
			They just don't care or they don't have
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:22
			time or they're scared of consequences.
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:23
			You don't want to be unpopular and be
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:24
			budding into people's business.
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:26
			Well, enjoy that.
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:28
			Enjoy a society where there's no munkar anymore.
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:30
			A society where there's no definition of what
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:31
			is right and what is wrong, what is
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:32
			good, what is bad.
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:34
			And there's no movements of reinforcing the good
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:35
			and stopping the bad.
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:36
			It doesn't exist anymore.
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:39
			It's just this big chaotic mix of a
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:42
			milk pot of garbage because there's nothing.
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:44
			Because we are all too scared to point
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:46
			out that that's not okay and that has
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:46
			to change.
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:48
			And then those who do it, they do
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:50
			it with no and this is another problem
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:50
			obviously.
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:53
			Those who end up saying that they don't
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:55
			have the proper knowledge or the proper understanding
		
00:20:55 --> 00:20:56
			of things and they don't know what exactly
		
00:20:56 --> 00:20:59
			is munkar and then they say whatever they
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:00
			want and they make it even worse.
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:03
			So we're struggling on this front because the
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:05
			Prophet ﷺ asked for this article.
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:06
			He asked for it.
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:08
			And we're in a society where there's a
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:08
			lot of munkar.
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:10
			There's a lot of ma'roof as well.
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:12
			And as Muslims we have to be aligned
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:14
			with that ma'roof and we have to
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:16
			push back against that munkar and we have
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:18
			to do it societally, collectively, communally.
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:19
			We have to do it or else we
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:22
			lose our own identity and you know that
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:24
			no one on earth knows that more than
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:24
			you.
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:27
			You as a Muslim Canadian, no one knows
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:28
			that more on earth.
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:30
			Like no one, no Muslim on earth can
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:32
			talk about this with more clarity without needing
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:35
			any education than you because you feel it.
		
00:21:35 --> 00:21:37
			You're like I am now, I can't say
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:38
			certain things.
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:40
			I can't even use certain adjectives.
		
00:21:41 --> 00:21:42
			I can't even normalize what is normal.
		
00:21:42 --> 00:21:44
			I can't point out something that is absolutely
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:48
			filthy and say that is disgusting and unacceptable.
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:49
			No I can't say that anymore because it's
		
00:21:49 --> 00:21:50
			acceptable now.
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:51
			It's ma'roof.
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:52
			I am munkar.
		
00:21:52 --> 00:21:54
			My thought process now is munkar.
		
00:21:54 --> 00:21:54
			Enjoy.
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:56
			How are you going to, how is anything
		
00:21:56 --> 00:21:57
			going to survive?
		
00:21:57 --> 00:21:58
			How are ethics going to survive?
		
00:21:58 --> 00:22:00
			How is Islam, how are we going to
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:00
			survive?
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:02
			We have to maintain that peace.
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:05
			He knew it was difficult which is why
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:06
			he asked for it.
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:08
			Which is why the Ansar thought about it
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:10
			like oh so we're gonna have to get
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:11
			a little more active on this front.
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:13
			Yeah you're gonna have to get more active
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:13
			on this front.
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:16
			And they were willing and they offered their
		
00:22:16 --> 00:22:17
			bay'ah as we should.
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:38
			Any Muslim person or a Muslim community, if
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:40
			they come to a society what they do
		
00:24:40 --> 00:24:42
			is they analyze what are their good values
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:45
			or their bad values socially speaking and then
		
00:24:45 --> 00:24:48
			they reinforce the good values and they are
		
00:24:48 --> 00:24:50
			champions of the good values just like us.
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:52
			We came we found we found an organized
		
00:24:52 --> 00:24:55
			society where people respect stand in line and
		
00:24:55 --> 00:24:57
			and they drive properly and they stop outside.
		
00:24:57 --> 00:24:59
			And we, Alhamdulillah, right?
		
00:24:59 --> 00:25:01
			Everyone we're champions of that aren't we?
		
00:25:02 --> 00:25:04
			Muslims are champions of that in every community.
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:06
			We're the ones who are always keeping the
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:09
			standing in line perfectly driving following the law
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:09
			aren't we?
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:10
			That's what we do.
		
00:25:10 --> 00:25:11
			We came we found a good we found
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:14
			law and order for last after living for
		
00:25:14 --> 00:25:15
			years where it was chaos.
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:18
			We came we found the Islamic way of
		
00:25:18 --> 00:25:20
			living where it's law everyone respects the law
		
00:25:20 --> 00:25:21
			and we did that didn't we?
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:22
			We all followed the law.
		
00:25:22 --> 00:25:23
			We still do.
		
00:25:23 --> 00:25:24
			We reinforce that.
		
00:25:25 --> 00:25:26
			Did you understand the problem?
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:28
			The problem to come and find a good
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:30
			value and then not emphasize it means you
		
00:25:30 --> 00:25:32
			didn't understand what your deen is about.
		
00:25:33 --> 00:25:34
			You didn't understand.
		
00:25:34 --> 00:25:36
			You found a good you found a good
		
00:25:36 --> 00:25:38
			value that everyone follows and then you didn't
		
00:25:38 --> 00:25:38
			emphasize it.
		
00:25:38 --> 00:25:39
			You didn't champion it.
		
00:25:40 --> 00:25:41
			You actually went against it.
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:54
			Oh and it's a this is a scary
		
00:25:54 --> 00:25:54
			topic.
		
00:25:54 --> 00:25:56
			It really is because it's so central to
		
00:25:56 --> 00:25:57
			our behaviors.
		
00:25:58 --> 00:25:59
			When we come we find bad.
		
00:25:59 --> 00:26:01
			We have values that are bad.
		
00:26:01 --> 00:26:03
			We find people who don't understand Hishmah.
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:06
			They don't find understand it for chastity and
		
00:26:06 --> 00:26:08
			of course we we immediately stay away from
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:08
			that.
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:10
			We pointed out how this needs to change.
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:11
			We didn't involve ourselves at all.
		
00:26:11 --> 00:26:13
			We didn't know Muslim young men that got
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:15
			involved in that stuff or enjoyed it or
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:15
			falling.
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:16
			No they didn't.
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:22
			How do we expect how do we expect
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:23
			things to work out for us?
		
00:26:24 --> 00:26:26
			If there's an article that Ansar gave their
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:28
			bayat to Rasulullah a.s about and we
		
00:26:28 --> 00:26:30
			don't even consider an issue.
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:31
			It's not even a thing.
		
00:26:32 --> 00:26:34
			We carry our values with pride as Muslims
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:35
			with pride.
		
00:26:35 --> 00:26:38
			We hold on to our values with our
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:38
			lives.
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:42
			We protect our values with our lives individually
		
00:26:42 --> 00:26:47
			and collectively and we will openly openly speak
		
00:26:47 --> 00:26:49
			of the values that we carry and we
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:51
			will if you agree with me on my
		
00:26:51 --> 00:26:53
			value then you and I together will push
		
00:26:53 --> 00:26:55
			it forward and if we disagree I will
		
00:26:55 --> 00:26:57
			push back against you because this is the
		
00:26:57 --> 00:26:58
			value that I believe in.
		
00:26:58 --> 00:27:00
			It's not an issue of convenience.
		
00:27:00 --> 00:27:01
			It's not a choice that I made.
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:03
			It's not something that I can compromise or
		
00:27:03 --> 00:27:04
			maybe meet you halfway.
		
00:27:04 --> 00:27:04
			This is a value.
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:07
			This is something that defines me.
		
00:27:07 --> 00:27:08
			It's a social value.
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:09
			It defines the way we lived.
		
00:27:09 --> 00:27:11
			All the prophets had to do this and
		
00:27:11 --> 00:27:13
			all the prophets were were ostracized and went
		
00:27:13 --> 00:27:15
			into exile and were killed and kicked out
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:18
			of their of their homes because they challenged
		
00:27:18 --> 00:27:18
			the status quo.
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:20
			They challenged the values.
		
00:27:20 --> 00:27:21
			They said no.
		
00:27:22 --> 00:27:22
			No.
		
00:27:22 --> 00:27:23
			Shoaib said no.
		
00:27:23 --> 00:27:24
			We're not going to do this.
		
00:27:24 --> 00:27:25
			We're not going to act like that.
		
00:27:26 --> 00:27:27
			Nour came and said no.
		
00:27:27 --> 00:27:27
			We're not behaving like that.
		
00:27:27 --> 00:27:28
			That's not okay.
		
00:27:28 --> 00:27:30
			So that's yeah that's what happened.
		
00:27:30 --> 00:27:31
			That's what happened.
		
00:27:31 --> 00:27:32
			You have to be you have to be
		
00:27:32 --> 00:27:33
			willing to do that.
		
00:27:34 --> 00:27:36
			That requires obviously knowledge and it requires wisdom
		
00:27:36 --> 00:27:37
			and it requires finesse.
		
00:27:38 --> 00:27:39
			So I'm not getting y'all to go
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:41
			start yelling at each other outside about what
		
00:27:41 --> 00:27:42
			you think needs to change but we have
		
00:27:42 --> 00:27:46
			to start because another thing is etiquette.
		
00:27:46 --> 00:27:48
			You come to a place where people speak
		
00:27:48 --> 00:27:50
			nicely to each other some politeness.
		
00:27:50 --> 00:27:51
			Isn't that how he was?
		
00:27:52 --> 00:27:54
			People weren't screaming at each other.
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:56
			There was no yeah that's that's that's something
		
00:27:56 --> 00:27:57
			else we need to go back to.
		
00:27:58 --> 00:28:00
			Another another value that we we don't necessarily
		
00:28:00 --> 00:28:03
			hold the way we should and that's what
		
00:28:03 --> 00:28:05
			they offered their bay'ah for him and
		
00:28:05 --> 00:28:06
			that's what we have to offer.
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:09
			The plan inshallah moving forward for Jumu'ah
		
00:28:09 --> 00:28:11
			next week will be at two o'clock.
		
00:28:12 --> 00:28:14
			So there'll be around 40 minutes earliest will
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:16
			be like 35 or 34 minutes until Asr.
		
00:28:16 --> 00:28:18
			So we'll keep the khutbah short to the
		
00:28:18 --> 00:28:20
			point where we can finish the khutbah, pray
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:22
			Jumu'ah a few minutes until Asr so
		
00:28:22 --> 00:28:23
			you can pray your sunnah.
		
00:28:23 --> 00:28:24
			We'll make Adhan Asr and then we'll pray
		
00:28:24 --> 00:28:25
			Asr right after.
		
00:28:25 --> 00:28:26
			Like we'll do sunnah and then Asr.
		
00:28:26 --> 00:28:28
			So if you come you end up praying
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:29
			Jumu'ah and then praying Asr and then
		
00:28:29 --> 00:28:30
			leaving afterwards.
		
00:28:30 --> 00:28:31
			That's the plan moving forward.
		
00:28:31 --> 00:28:34
			This I'm doing this as a service for
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:35
			the community because there are no late Jumu
		
00:28:35 --> 00:28:36
			'ahs in the city.
		
00:28:36 --> 00:28:37
			The latest is 1 30.
		
00:28:37 --> 00:28:38
			There's nothing after that.
		
00:28:39 --> 00:28:40
			So we're trying to make something a little
		
00:28:40 --> 00:28:42
			bit later for people who can't make it
		
00:28:42 --> 00:28:44
			because of their jobs or for whatever other
		
00:28:44 --> 00:28:46
			reasons inshallah for you high school students to
		
00:28:46 --> 00:28:47
			make it and university students as well.
		
00:28:47 --> 00:28:50
			Just as something inshallah to as an extra
		
00:28:50 --> 00:28:51
			service for the community.
		
00:28:51 --> 00:28:52
			So that's just as a way of putting
		
00:28:52 --> 00:28:53
			it inshallah.
		
00:28:54 --> 00:28:56
			We will continue with this series moving forward.
		
00:28:56 --> 00:28:58
			I may end up talking about this topic
		
00:28:58 --> 00:29:00
			next week a little bit more but I
		
00:29:00 --> 00:29:02
			do ask everyone here to reflect a little
		
00:29:02 --> 00:29:03
			bit on what this means.
		
00:29:04 --> 00:29:05
			There's a lot of there's a lot more
		
00:29:05 --> 00:29:06
			pieces of evidence that I want to share
		
00:29:06 --> 00:29:07
			with you and what he said.
		
00:29:07 --> 00:29:10
			But take some time to think about this
		
00:29:10 --> 00:29:13
			because this is a central part of it
		
00:29:13 --> 00:29:15
			defines our deen very very heavily and I
		
00:29:15 --> 00:29:17
			don't think we fully understand what it means.
		
00:29:18 --> 00:29:20
			I don't think we sometimes restrict it just
		
00:29:20 --> 00:29:21
			to rituals.
		
00:29:21 --> 00:29:23
			Someone is not dressed he came to the
		
00:29:23 --> 00:29:25
			masjid and had a tattoo or wasn't dressed
		
00:29:25 --> 00:29:26
			and no leave it.
		
00:29:26 --> 00:29:28
			These are personal ritual choices.
		
00:29:28 --> 00:29:29
			It requires dawah.
		
00:29:29 --> 00:29:29
			Dawah is different.
		
00:29:29 --> 00:29:31
			We'll talk about doing dawah.
		
00:29:31 --> 00:29:32
			There are ways to do dawah appropriately.
		
00:29:33 --> 00:29:34
			It's different.
		
00:29:34 --> 00:29:37
			This is where someone is ruining social values.
		
00:29:37 --> 00:29:40
			They are challenging the values of society and
		
00:29:40 --> 00:29:42
			if this is a good value then we
		
00:29:42 --> 00:29:43
			have to defend it.
		
00:29:43 --> 00:29:44
			If it's a bad value we have to
		
00:29:44 --> 00:29:46
			help get rid of it because because the
		
00:29:46 --> 00:29:49
			tsunami of bad values will one day overtake
		
00:29:49 --> 00:29:50
			all of us and that's how yawm al
		
00:29:50 --> 00:29:51
			qiyamah happens.
		
00:29:51 --> 00:29:53
			Yawm al qiyamah happens when the bad values
		
00:29:53 --> 00:29:57
			become so widespread that there's no voice.
		
00:29:57 --> 00:29:58
			There's no room for the good values to
		
00:29:58 --> 00:30:00
			be heard anymore and people slowly lose them
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:02
			all and no one knows who Allah subhanahu
		
00:30:02 --> 00:30:03
			wa ta'ala is and no one knows
		
00:30:03 --> 00:30:07
			what hishmah and iffah and these words are
		
00:30:07 --> 00:30:09
			washed away and they don't exist anymore.
		
00:30:10 --> 00:30:11
			We're at a moment in our history where
		
00:30:11 --> 00:30:13
			we have to defend the values that define
		
00:30:13 --> 00:30:14
			us.
		
00:30:14 --> 00:30:15
			I hope that was a benefit to you.
