The speakers discuss the use of the " moderation," meaning that people have adopted the " moderation," but not the " moderation." They share two examples of Islam's approach to the world, including people not believing in Allah's and those who have a different stance. The speakers emphasize the importance of moderation and social distancing, as well as the use of dearms and dearms for social security and the need for everyone to be on the same path. They also touch on the use of deans as a means to avoid being too extreme and the importance of adoptive path and everyone being on the same path.

00:00:40 --> 00:01:40
			it is in the beginning of the second Jews of the Holy Quran where Allah tala says we have made this
oma omata wasa and oma, which is justly balanced and oma that adopts moderation. The middle path
between two extremes and this is a very important characteristic and quality at a cursory glance, UI
with regard and say moderation is not a very important quality and attribute. Yet the Quran says it
is the distinctive characteristic of the oma our salvation depends upon it. nebia Kareem sallahu
alayhi wa sallam it said Sara Marie Hyrule omorosa to have the best of all affairs is that in which
you adopt moderation, and this is one of the characteristics of the oma. He slammed a doll or myanna

the middle path between two extremes. Let me give you the example of this member we are sitting on
this is one extreme This is one extreme, the two extremes are on the metal part that is here. That's
the right path that is a part of Islam. And I will show you and give you examples of how people have
adopted extremes and how Islam has taken the middle path. So this is the aspect with regard to Islam
that adopt and adopt the middle path between the two extremes. He didn't commit cabaret hockey for

00:02:53 --> 00:03:41
			now very important today we also find political sense people have used the word moderate Islam. No,
they say moderate Islam. Now we are not talking of that moderate Islam, that moderate Islam is to
dilute Islam. We don't talk about moderate Islam. We talk about moderation as part of the
distinctive characteristic of Islam and Muslims, not the moderate Islam, that the West and sometimes
those particular people who are against Islam and the Muslims, they talk about Salman Rushdie many
years back, he had written a, you know, article and he said that the Islamic reformation has to
begin here, with an acceptance of the concept that all ideas even sacred and religious ones have to
		
00:03:41 --> 00:04:25
			adapt to alternate realities. We don't change our Islam. Our Islam teaches us moderation, not your
moderate political Islam, the moderation which Islam has taught us. Now let us give you examples
with regard to how Islam has given us take the middle path between two extremes with regard to Allah
subhanho wa Taala. We have two extremes. What are the two extremes? Remember my example one extreme
the other extreme. The one extreme is people don't believe in Allah subhanaw taala Allah, Allah, how
can you not believe in Allah but there is one extreme. The other extreme is those who have more
loads than one, they adopt more Allah, Amara apne Allah, AB, AB Amara Pooja, the one who is in
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:48
			charge of risk he is a separate Allah, the One who is in charge of respect and honor he's a separate
Allah. They believe in many alors and dieties. Besides a lot, so you see the two extremes. One
extreme people who say that we don't believe in Allah subhanho wa Taala up to Anna Misaki torpor

00:05:00 --> 00:05:43
			How can you not believe in Allah subhanho wa Taala? Sometimes it you know, it amazes the intellect
that people can believe in Allah subhanho wa Taala he then No, no Almighty Allah made billions of

be able to understand those words? Who did all of us who showed the womb of the mother to take the

00:06:24 --> 00:06:24
			to be
		
00:06:26 --> 00:07:12
			on one hand, that's one extreme. So we are so sensitive that we had said no unlike this one. On the
other extreme, they said what they said there are many Allah subhanaw taala recall what has it Yusuf
alayhi salatu salam, when he was in the prison, and the people who were with him in the present they
were not believers. And they came to relate the dream to Yusuf Ali salat wa salam, Yusuf alayhi
salatu was Sarah founded an ideal opportunity to give them Dawa and one of his words of his Dawa was
so amazing. Allah has captured it in the Quran. Yes, he says our Babu tougher repoed our Babu

00:07:12 --> 00:08:00
			powerful a lot better? Huh? Call constitutes better hair boards Ella, a Zumba the sport while Allah
catches a better. So look at the beauty of Islam, you see down the middle path between the two
extremes. Now we give you another example. The other examples is with regard to our belief in the
prophethood in the belief in the salad in a brief of Allah subhanho wa Taala messengers. And here we
see the example of how extremism have led people upon the wrong path. On one hand, what do you have?
We have those who said for Carlton, NASA almasi of new law. What did the nomina nosara say? They
said Maria Maria is the son of Allah He is part of Allah subhana wa tada and let us say, Catherine
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:38
			Medina Cabo in Nevada. They have committed Cooper, who said that he Salli salat wa salam is one of
the one of the Trinity. So one one extreme, they made the prophets, sons of Allah, they made the
prophets Allah subhana wa Taala. On the other extreme, what do they do? Allah says in the Quran, we
have Kunal ambia theory how they kill the prophets. They disregarded the prophets. They didn't show
any respect to the prophets to hear to enter the snom the Nanaimo cafe, and La Tanaka Bara Magna

such respect. I made mention for Monica Mulally, one day he was giving a D, and he was wincing with
pain. Students asked him, Mr. Malik, why are you wondering what pain after that is? And he lifted up

other external situation is with regard to our world and America to Skipper mm.
		
00:12:21 --> 00:13:07
			I'm Jana Romo Codelco look at the whole situation of humanity to extremes. one extreme to Yala,
everything is only dunya suppose Konya sub Cusco Chaka, apna, cannon Morocco, Tierra de cultura
malkia was, on one extreme is we made dunya everything we were prepared to sacrifice our team
prepared to sacrifice our family prepared to sacrifice relationship to take this material world and
to gain wealth. On the other hand, there are other people who feel that the only way to get piety is
to reject and forsake matters with regard to this deep. Islam has taught us the middle path, Islam
it said in Canada, Boko Haram now was Raja Kumar Shira tokuma monitor of tomorrow. All of those
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:09
			things with regard to this material world
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:35
			your family hamasaki neuter Dona the beautiful homes you live in with the gelatin Shona cassava, the
businesses that you feel lost in a happy local minima you are assuming what you had in visibility,
is it more beloved to you than align is received and thriving in the path of Allah then wait for the
punishment of Allah tala to come upon you. So on one hand, we didn't make this dunya everything that
we saw So Mr. Magoo, Allah.
		
00:13:37 --> 00:14:17
			Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah don't make this material was the be all and end all of our
desires, our objectives, and the reason why we gain you know, we the reason why we gain wealth, or
the reason why we gain knowledge, you know, on the other hand, we are cream sauce Silliman Islam has
taught us Don't forsake the legitimate pleasures of this world. Lima two hari muma Anima yanaka
hokianga shadie nickering we will not we will not we will not enjoy the legitimate pleasures of this
world that to have the motiva what is permissible don't make it Haram. So in everything Allah
subhana wa Taala has taught us, you know, to me, Anna was taught taught us moderation between the
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:54
			two extremes. Now, just one day once yesterday, someone told me one joke that thoughts on sharing is
also in a way it's a human, but it also the aspect of having the right the right balance in
everything that you do. He said a person was in the he was sitting in the queue in the supermarket.
Nowadays, social distancing and mass you can't go without social distancing. You can't go without
mask. So then he he passed when I won't use other words is not appropriate for the members to say
what he did. He passed when so when he passed when the person in the back you got very angry because
it made a noise. So he made a noise. He got angry and he started waving his hand in front of his
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:59
			nose that you're smelling. So the person in front of him see if you heard my voice.
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:02
			Passing of when that means you are not social distancing
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:07
			and if you smelled it That means you are wearing a mask
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:13
			and the fact that you can spend it you protect the almighty that means you don't have Kuroda.
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:29
			So anyway, this was this by the way, in everything Allah subhanho wa Taala has taught us in every

you must spend in a way that is with motivation, when levina either and the focal lamb use 3410.
When people who spend the bad man when they spend, they are not extreme. They are not excessive.
They are not extravagant, they are not wasteful, and they are not miserly. Also. He Baba Rahman

00:16:36 --> 00:16:38

00:16:40 --> 00:16:44
			So when you walk you don't walk too fast. You don't to walk too slow. This is a puranic is
		
00:16:46 --> 00:17:28
			another amazing thing. Islam is thought even to the extent that you must also have a doll and
moderation indeed, people will say what is a minimum of moderation indeed. Now look at this two
particular examples, I gave you the two extremes. The One is we have to be on the middle path. On
one extreme is people who don't regard Dean who falls short of applying the dean in the lives. On
the other hand, you go to such an extreme that you go beyond the limit that also has his hands. Now
sahaabah, Vikram, if you were to take this example, in our example, if this is a middle path, and if
this is the extreme of deficiency, then we are here, we are not applying the deal in terms of what
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:37
			is supposed to be. So how Vikram went to the other extreme. And to this, we are saying the moderate
path moderate path doesn't mean that you must fall short of the limit.
		
00:17:38 --> 00:18:19
			Yeah, we can never compromise on those things in which Islam has given us clear cut guidance. Many
times people who don't have enough 14, or whose association with them is minimal. They would regard
clear cut injunctions of the Holy Quran as something that is, you know, not is too extreme. But
there is no quote there is no compromise and five times daily Salah there is no compromise on a
burqa and hijab. There is no compromise on morality and morality with a good Islamic day you can
say, moderation, therefore, I'm going to be you know, I'm going to be moderate to make it, you know,
palatable to the world powers. Oh, what Islam is said we don't compromise that is part of the end
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:42
			because if you do compromise, you affording on this particular side, you are deficient. And Islam
has told us that we must not be deficient. There is no compromise with regard to the clear cut
injunctions of the Holy Quran and this is sometimes the mistake that we make when we say moderate
Islam we feel that no, we can compromise model Islam Camilla via camino mas para que La Perla kista

to keep in mind that Islam that the yata qoocam jacadi may be a child who don't make caminata billet
cool hey tahu to set the JavaScript reducer here to go beyond the limit that is also not correct. So
that this is the right path. As I said, we we are on this particular path we are deficient we have
to come more to come on the on the middle path. I'll give you an example of how the sahaabah as a
manufacturer be allowed to move into the house of Abu Dhabi.
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:58
			He sold the house was the chevron. He saw me Delta was not dressed properly she was the chevron?

extreme. The other extreme, the other extreme ceremonial support Osaka one day interview occurring

00:22:21 --> 00:22:43

decision is final? No one can challenge it. Whoever says my decision is final. Wherever says my
decision is final and no decision and I will not accept any other decision. My decision is the only

do you realize what actually extremism indeed does? It creates bigotry and intolerance, therefore
may be occurring. So I asked him I said he did. Stay away from Hulu and excessiveness in religion
because people of the past were destroyed by that. So in conclusion, let us always adopt the model
of path. So the middle path between two extremes in that lies our salvation in that is a distinctive
		
00:23:27 --> 00:23:29
