Assalamu alaikumratullah.

00:00:03 --> 00:00:04

This is Haltaf Hussein.

00:00:05 --> 00:00:08

I currently serve as the vice president of

00:00:08 --> 00:00:09

the Yakin Institute

00:00:09 --> 00:00:13

for Islamic Research and, really it's just an

00:00:13 --> 00:00:14

amazing,

00:00:15 --> 00:00:16

dream come true for all of us.

00:00:17 --> 00:00:20

I hope as you listen and you get

00:00:20 --> 00:00:20

to know,

00:00:21 --> 00:00:23

the message of Yaqeen that inshallah

00:00:24 --> 00:00:26

you aspire to join us and,

00:00:26 --> 00:00:28

share the message and share the products of

00:00:28 --> 00:00:29

Yaqeen

00:00:29 --> 00:00:31

with, all of your family and friends.

00:00:32 --> 00:00:34

You know, sometimes when we think about all

00:00:34 --> 00:00:36

the major challenges facing Muslims,

00:00:37 --> 00:00:38

one of the things we take for granted

00:00:39 --> 00:00:41

is the certainty of faith

00:00:41 --> 00:00:43

that somehow all of our children will just

00:00:43 --> 00:00:46

sort of internalize the teachings of Islam,

00:00:46 --> 00:00:48

and despite all of the

00:00:48 --> 00:00:50

attacks in the external environment,

00:00:51 --> 00:00:53

somehow they'll just sustain that.

00:00:54 --> 00:00:56

One of the amazing ironies is that we

00:00:56 --> 00:00:59

push our children in elementary, middle school, high

00:00:59 --> 00:01:00

school, college,

00:01:00 --> 00:01:02

and by the time they're done with all

00:01:02 --> 00:01:03

of that education, they must have read thousands

00:01:03 --> 00:01:04

of pages,

00:01:05 --> 00:01:08

thousands of pages of books and journal articles

00:01:08 --> 00:01:11

and other materials to to understand systematically

00:01:12 --> 00:01:13

the the the notion

00:01:14 --> 00:01:16

of, what is Islam and what are the

00:01:16 --> 00:01:17

key teachings of Islam.

00:01:18 --> 00:01:20

And one of the things I find ironic

00:01:20 --> 00:01:22

is that we don't push them

00:01:22 --> 00:01:25

similarly nor do we provide resources to them

00:01:25 --> 00:01:27

so that they could have that certainty of

00:01:27 --> 00:01:28

faith.

00:01:28 --> 00:01:29

And so Yatin

00:01:29 --> 00:01:32

is dedicated and and we are focused on

00:01:32 --> 00:01:33

producing

00:01:33 --> 00:01:35

some of the state of the art,

00:01:36 --> 00:01:39

studies, if you will, on on the major

00:01:39 --> 00:01:42

topics, whether they're trending or they're not trending,

00:01:42 --> 00:01:44

but topics that are of relevance to our

00:01:44 --> 00:01:46

children and our even contemporary

00:01:47 --> 00:01:48

society, even parents, families,

00:01:49 --> 00:01:51

but more so so that the focus is

00:01:51 --> 00:01:52

on

00:01:52 --> 00:01:55

the finding a message, a source that they

00:01:55 --> 00:01:57

can say, you know, I'm I have a

00:01:57 --> 00:02:00

question about such and such. I went to

00:02:00 --> 00:02:02

the Yaqeen website. I went to such and

00:02:02 --> 00:02:04

such study. Or I was writing a paper

00:02:04 --> 00:02:06

in my class and I needed a resource

00:02:06 --> 00:02:08

that I could cite a paper from Yaqeen

00:02:08 --> 00:02:09

and so on and

00:02:10 --> 00:02:11

so forth. So we hope really that you

00:02:11 --> 00:02:14

will, take advantage of all of the resources

00:02:14 --> 00:02:16

and once again we invite you to, join

00:02:16 --> 00:02:19

us and to support us at the Yaqeen

00:02:19 --> 00:02:20

Institute For Islamic Research.
