My dear respected elders and brothers,

00:00:43 --> 00:00:44

Allah

00:00:45 --> 00:00:46

has given us a deen

00:00:47 --> 00:00:49

in which we are supposed to fulfill the

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

rights of various individuals

00:00:52 --> 00:00:53

and various

00:00:54 --> 00:00:57

other rights that are upon us.

00:00:58 --> 00:01:01

One such right which has been greatly emphasized

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

in our sharia

00:01:03 --> 00:01:05

is the right of our neighbors,

00:01:06 --> 00:01:09

and not only our neighbors, but our neighborhood.

00:01:10 --> 00:01:13

This has been greatly emphasized in our sharia.

00:01:14 --> 00:01:15

Islam

00:01:33 --> 00:01:36

Now what is the meaning of our neighborhood?

00:01:36 --> 00:01:37

What is the meaning of neighbors?

00:01:38 --> 00:01:40

Normally, we all understand that the meaning of

00:01:40 --> 00:01:42

neighbors is a person whose house is next

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

to you,

00:01:43 --> 00:01:46

that that is what our understanding of neighbors

00:01:46 --> 00:01:48

is. But in our sharia, it is much

00:01:48 --> 00:01:50

more than that. It is not only the

00:01:50 --> 00:01:53

person whose house is near you,

00:01:53 --> 00:01:56

it is a person and the entire neighborhood.

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

They are also your neighbors.

00:02:03 --> 00:02:05

Your people of your own tribe, they are

00:02:05 --> 00:02:07

also part of your neighborhood.

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

In the holy Quran

00:02:09 --> 00:02:10

has made mentioned.

00:02:17 --> 00:02:19

Have written under the hyatt. I don't have

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

the time to give the explanation.

00:02:21 --> 00:02:24

Even the entire people of your city, they

00:02:24 --> 00:02:25

are part of your neighborhood.

00:02:25 --> 00:02:28

The people who read with you in a,

00:02:28 --> 00:02:30

they are part of your neighborhood. In Abu

00:02:30 --> 00:02:31

Dawood Sharif,

00:02:31 --> 00:02:32

there's a hadith that

00:02:34 --> 00:02:35

said

00:02:35 --> 00:02:38

that 40 houses are part of your neighborhood.

00:02:38 --> 00:02:39

And then

00:02:40 --> 00:02:42

said 40 houses in front,

00:02:42 --> 00:02:44

40 houses at the back, 40 houses in

00:02:44 --> 00:02:47

the right, 40 houses left.

00:02:47 --> 00:02:49

And this is a hadith inside in Abu

00:02:49 --> 00:02:50

Dhabi.

00:02:50 --> 00:02:53

40 houses all around you, they are part

00:02:53 --> 00:02:54

of your neighborhood.

00:02:54 --> 00:02:57

Now after understanding what a neighborhood constitutes,

00:02:58 --> 00:03:00

let us look at the importance

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

and the emphasis Islam has given

00:03:03 --> 00:03:05

to fulfill the rights of your neighbors

00:03:05 --> 00:03:06

and your neighborhood.

00:03:10 --> 00:03:12

You see me Biljar Atas and unto Anahu

00:03:13 --> 00:03:14

Sa'you work with them.

00:03:14 --> 00:03:17

Hazrat Jibreel alaihi salatu wa salam emphasized the

00:03:17 --> 00:03:18

right of neighbors

00:03:19 --> 00:03:20

to such an extent

00:03:20 --> 00:03:23

that I thought that he's gonna make them

00:03:23 --> 00:03:24

part of the estate.

00:03:27 --> 00:03:27

You

00:03:31 --> 00:03:32

Allah. To make a wish now, I think

00:03:32 --> 00:03:33

about it. You

00:03:34 --> 00:03:36

will have so much of problems in our

00:03:36 --> 00:03:38

inheritance with our family members.

00:03:39 --> 00:03:41

If make them part of the of our

00:03:41 --> 00:03:42

inheritance,

00:03:43 --> 00:03:44

then what would have happened?

00:03:44 --> 00:03:46

But just to give you the example with

00:03:46 --> 00:03:48

regard to it, one hadith maybe

00:03:49 --> 00:03:50

occurring, said 3 times

00:03:51 --> 00:03:51

said,

00:04:14 --> 00:04:15

He whose neighbor

00:04:16 --> 00:04:18

is not safe from his harm.

00:04:19 --> 00:04:22

He whose neighbor is not safe. When he

00:04:22 --> 00:04:24

talks, he's fighting, and the whole neighborhood can

00:04:24 --> 00:04:27

hear. Otherwise, he doesn't park properly.

00:04:28 --> 00:04:30

He doesn't come into the house properly. When

00:04:30 --> 00:04:32

he comes into the house, he makes a

00:04:32 --> 00:04:34

dumb and a noise that the entire neighborhood,

00:04:34 --> 00:04:37

they feel they feel hurt. They feel abused.

00:04:37 --> 00:04:39

They feel their right is not being fulfilled.

00:04:40 --> 00:04:41

He is not a believer

00:04:42 --> 00:04:45

who whose neighbors are not safe from the

00:04:45 --> 00:04:45

evil

00:04:46 --> 00:04:47

of him.

00:04:47 --> 00:04:49

Yeah, Allah. What a day. In 1 Hadith,

00:04:51 --> 00:04:53

we all know this Hadith, very famous Hadith,

00:04:54 --> 00:04:55

that he is not a believer

00:04:56 --> 00:04:57

who eats his or

00:04:58 --> 00:05:01

or and his neighbors are are hungry.

00:05:11 --> 00:05:12

He's not a believer.

00:05:12 --> 00:05:16

Can you imagine the high ideals of Islam?

00:05:16 --> 00:05:19

By Islam to talk about Islam is very

00:05:19 --> 00:05:21

easy. To make amal upon it is very

00:05:21 --> 00:05:23

difficult. Maybe a Karim salallahu alaihi wasalam,

00:05:24 --> 00:05:25

one day told,

00:05:27 --> 00:05:29

and I read this hadith and said, you,

00:05:29 --> 00:05:32

Allah, do we understand what Islam is? Do

00:05:32 --> 00:05:34

we understand the ethics of Islam?

00:05:38 --> 00:05:40

Oh, Abu Azar, when you cook curry,

00:05:41 --> 00:05:42

when you cook shorba,

00:05:42 --> 00:05:43

when you cook something,

00:05:44 --> 00:05:46

then add water into it.

00:05:46 --> 00:05:48

Add water into it.

00:05:50 --> 00:05:52

So when you add water, you got more

00:05:52 --> 00:05:54

curry. You'll be able to give your neighbors.

00:05:56 --> 00:05:59

Add water into your curry, make more curry

00:05:59 --> 00:06:00

so that you can share it with your

00:06:00 --> 00:06:01

neighbors.

00:06:01 --> 00:06:02

Subhanallah,

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

Look at the beauty of Islam with regard

00:06:04 --> 00:06:07

to fulfilling the rights of your neighbors. If

00:06:07 --> 00:06:09

you're cooking, cook a little bit more that

00:06:09 --> 00:06:11

you can share with your neighbors.

00:06:19 --> 00:06:20

Has made the criteria

00:06:22 --> 00:06:24

for judging a person's character and conduct

00:06:25 --> 00:06:28

by what their neighbors say about him. And

00:06:28 --> 00:06:29

this makes sense.

00:06:29 --> 00:06:31

If you want to know what a person

00:06:31 --> 00:06:33

is, don't look at him from far.

00:06:38 --> 00:06:40

What do the people of Durban know how

00:06:40 --> 00:06:42

a person in Joburg is? They're staying so

00:06:42 --> 00:06:45

far. They heard about him. They heard about

00:06:45 --> 00:06:46

his name. Yeah.

00:06:47 --> 00:06:48

They maybe spoke spoke to him over the

00:06:48 --> 00:06:50

phone. Through the means of the phone, he

00:06:50 --> 00:06:51

spoke nice to them.

00:06:51 --> 00:06:53

Can they come to a conclusion

00:06:55 --> 00:06:56

conduct and a character of a person by

00:06:56 --> 00:06:57

staying far?

00:06:58 --> 00:07:00

Someone is far away from you in another

00:07:00 --> 00:07:02

vicinity, in another city. What does he know

00:07:02 --> 00:07:04

about your conduct and character? Look at what

00:07:04 --> 00:07:06

our beloved Nabiya Karim salallahu

00:07:08 --> 00:07:08

alayhi

00:07:09 --> 00:07:10

wa sallam

00:07:22 --> 00:07:24

they say you are a good person, then

00:07:24 --> 00:07:25

remember you are a good person.

00:07:27 --> 00:07:29

Now you the whole world say you are

00:07:29 --> 00:07:31

good, but the neighbors are swearing you. They

00:07:31 --> 00:07:32

are abusing you. Then what is the use

00:07:32 --> 00:07:35

of such a particular type of criteria of

00:07:35 --> 00:07:35

goodness?

00:07:36 --> 00:07:36

And then

00:07:43 --> 00:07:45

said, When the neighbors say you are a

00:07:45 --> 00:07:46

bad person, then you must know you are

00:07:46 --> 00:07:47

a bad person.

00:07:47 --> 00:07:49

So the criteria of judging

00:07:50 --> 00:07:52

you is to see what the neighbors say

00:07:52 --> 00:07:52

about you.

00:08:03 --> 00:08:05

Don't become proud, but I'm just giving you

00:08:05 --> 00:08:06

the criteria.

00:08:07 --> 00:08:08

Never mind this.

00:08:10 --> 00:08:11

Even with regard to

00:08:14 --> 00:08:17

It is the evidence of the neighborhood that

00:08:17 --> 00:08:18

will put you in Jannat or put you

00:08:18 --> 00:08:19

in Jahannam.

00:08:20 --> 00:08:21

Let me repeat it.

00:08:42 --> 00:08:43

She

00:08:46 --> 00:08:47

makes a lot of.

00:08:48 --> 00:08:49

She keeps Rosa fasting,

00:08:56 --> 00:08:57

But you Rasulullah,

00:08:58 --> 00:09:00

she is not good with the neighbors.

00:09:00 --> 00:09:03

She is swearing the neighbors. She is abusing

00:09:03 --> 00:09:05

the neighbors. She is fighting with the neighbors.

00:09:08 --> 00:09:10

What do you say with regard to such

00:09:10 --> 00:09:11

a woman?

00:09:12 --> 00:09:14

Said, if she is like what you say

00:09:14 --> 00:09:18

and she continues like that, she's a Jahannam.

00:09:18 --> 00:09:20

I'm using the words of Hadid in Musnabe

00:09:20 --> 00:09:22

Ahmed. I'm not taking something out of my

00:09:22 --> 00:09:23

own pocket.

00:09:23 --> 00:09:25

She is in.

00:09:26 --> 00:09:27

She is in.

00:09:30 --> 00:09:31

There is a woman.

00:09:31 --> 00:09:33

She does not make lot of.

00:09:36 --> 00:09:38

We got no there's no option. There's no

00:09:38 --> 00:09:39

compromise.

00:09:39 --> 00:09:41

If you're fulfilling your you're not doing anyone

00:09:41 --> 00:09:43

a favor. But

00:09:43 --> 00:09:44

does less.

00:09:46 --> 00:09:48

She does less.

00:09:49 --> 00:09:51

She is good with the entire neighborhood.

00:09:51 --> 00:09:53

When she speaks to them, according to the

00:09:53 --> 00:09:56

Sharia, she speaks to people, she speaks well.

00:09:56 --> 00:09:59

She's always helping the neighborhood. She's always doing

00:09:59 --> 00:09:59

good.

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

What is your view about such a woman?

00:10:05 --> 00:10:06

She's a janati.

00:10:06 --> 00:10:08

So what your neighborhood tells you,

00:10:09 --> 00:10:11

according to that, you are good or bad.

00:10:11 --> 00:10:13

According to that, you are.

00:10:14 --> 00:10:15

And this is what our beloved

00:10:17 --> 00:10:19

has made mention with regard to the hadith.

00:10:19 --> 00:10:21

And that is why we fight that in

00:10:21 --> 00:10:22

our in our

00:10:23 --> 00:10:26

throughout history, they made a great amount of

00:10:26 --> 00:10:28

emphasis with regard to the rights of neighbors.

00:10:28 --> 00:10:30

We like to listen to what the odds

00:10:30 --> 00:10:31

and incidents, so let me make mention of

00:10:31 --> 00:10:32

1 or 2 incidents.

00:10:33 --> 00:10:34

So Mufti,

00:10:34 --> 00:10:37

Tatir Usmani has written a book in Islahi

00:10:37 --> 00:10:40

Muwis. His Muwis have been copied in a

00:10:40 --> 00:10:42

book. So in that, there is one book

00:10:42 --> 00:10:44

with regard to the rights of neighbors.

00:10:49 --> 00:10:51

His name was Abu Hamza Sukari,

00:10:52 --> 00:10:52

not Sukari,

00:10:54 --> 00:10:57

His name was Sukari. They called him Sukari

00:10:58 --> 00:11:00

because his words were so sweet.

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

When he used to speak, everyone used to

00:11:02 --> 00:11:05

love to listen to him because his words

00:11:05 --> 00:11:07

were so sweet. Because of that, he came

00:11:07 --> 00:11:09

to be known as Abu Hamza Sukkari.

00:11:09 --> 00:11:12

So Abu Hamza Sukkari had a difficulty in

00:11:12 --> 00:11:13

his financial situation.

00:11:14 --> 00:11:16

Because of that difficulty, he put up his

00:11:16 --> 00:11:17

house for sale.

00:11:18 --> 00:11:19

That he had to leave the neighborhood. He

00:11:19 --> 00:11:21

had to go somewhere else, a very expensive

00:11:22 --> 00:11:23

neighborhood, whatever. So,

00:11:24 --> 00:11:26

they all came to him. They said, why

00:11:26 --> 00:11:28

are you selling your house? A cubed house

00:11:28 --> 00:11:28

by.

00:11:30 --> 00:11:32

To them, the neighborhood people said,

00:11:37 --> 00:11:39

We will give you money, but don't leave

00:11:39 --> 00:11:40

our neighborhood.

00:11:41 --> 00:11:43

Don't leave our neighborhood because your is so

00:11:43 --> 00:11:46

good. Nowadays, I think sometimes you people know

00:11:46 --> 00:11:48

that you want to leave, they'll give you

00:11:48 --> 00:11:49

money to them.

00:11:51 --> 00:11:52

Look at this.

00:11:54 --> 00:11:55

People came to give him money. We'll give

00:11:55 --> 00:11:57

you money if you don't leave us.

00:11:59 --> 00:12:00

Is,

00:12:02 --> 00:12:03

you know, his

00:12:04 --> 00:12:06

neighbor used to sing, and he used to

00:12:06 --> 00:12:08

be a sharrabi. He used to be drink

00:12:08 --> 00:12:10

alcohol. And in the state of alcohol, he

00:12:10 --> 00:12:11

used to sing and make a lot of

00:12:11 --> 00:12:12

noise.

00:12:12 --> 00:12:14

One day someone went to report him to

00:12:14 --> 00:12:16

the police, he makes a lot of noise.

00:12:16 --> 00:12:17

The police came and they took him away

00:12:17 --> 00:12:19

and they put him in jail. They arrested

00:12:20 --> 00:12:20

him.

00:12:21 --> 00:12:23

Came home, no noise.

00:12:24 --> 00:12:25

No person making a noise.

00:12:39 --> 00:12:42

You know, very proud independent person. Proud not

00:12:42 --> 00:12:44

in the sense of the couple, but independent.

00:12:45 --> 00:12:46

So he went to the authorities.

00:12:47 --> 00:12:47

He said,

00:12:48 --> 00:12:51

you have got someone you may have arrested.

00:12:51 --> 00:12:52

So now,

00:12:53 --> 00:12:55

coming to the authorities, the old person to

00:12:55 --> 00:12:56

him. Why did you come?

00:12:57 --> 00:12:58

You arrested my neighbor.

00:12:59 --> 00:13:01

You arrested my neighbor. Free him.

00:13:01 --> 00:13:04

So the authorities freed the neighbor. So when

00:13:04 --> 00:13:05

he came, said,

00:13:06 --> 00:13:08

see, I feed you because you're my neighbor.

00:13:08 --> 00:13:10

But this particular habit of yours is not

00:13:10 --> 00:13:11

a good habit.

00:13:12 --> 00:13:14

Imam gave you 50 dinners. Start off your

00:13:14 --> 00:13:15

life afresh.

00:13:15 --> 00:13:16

Don't take to alcohol.

00:13:17 --> 00:13:19

He started his life afresh.

00:13:19 --> 00:13:21

He became a student of,

00:13:22 --> 00:13:23

and he became a.

00:13:25 --> 00:13:26

A person who had alcohol

00:13:27 --> 00:13:28

because of the way

00:13:29 --> 00:13:32

used to treat him. So the we like

00:13:32 --> 00:13:33

so let me give you one more.

00:13:34 --> 00:13:37

Mufti Azizur Rahman was the first Mufti of

00:13:37 --> 00:13:38

the other room deobed.

00:13:38 --> 00:13:40

So Mufti Azizur Rahman Rahm Tullani,

00:13:40 --> 00:13:42

before he used to go and teach hadith,

00:13:43 --> 00:13:45

he used to go and he used to

00:13:45 --> 00:13:47

go to the woman of the the neighborhood.

00:13:47 --> 00:13:49

They all used to give him a small.

00:13:49 --> 00:13:51

They used to give him a small pick.

00:13:51 --> 00:13:54

Bring from us from the market this this

00:13:54 --> 00:13:55

this this. So he used to tell him,

00:13:55 --> 00:13:56

like, you know, he used to go and

00:13:56 --> 00:13:58

buy the goods for them. He used to

00:13:58 --> 00:14:00

go and buy the fruits and vegetable for

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

him.

00:14:03 --> 00:14:04

Was a. He was

00:14:05 --> 00:14:05

a.

00:14:06 --> 00:14:07

So sometimes when he used to go and

00:14:07 --> 00:14:09

buy the fruit and vegetable, he used to

00:14:09 --> 00:14:11

bring wrong things. So the woman used to

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

say,

00:14:15 --> 00:14:17

You brought something that is wrong. We told

00:14:17 --> 00:14:19

you to bring tomatoes. You brought onions.

00:14:20 --> 00:14:22

So Mufti azur Rahman used to say, okay.

00:14:22 --> 00:14:23

Tell me what is wrong. He used to

00:14:23 --> 00:14:25

go back to the marketplace and used to

00:14:25 --> 00:14:26

go and help him.

00:14:27 --> 00:14:29

A Mufti of Tioman,

00:14:29 --> 00:14:31

and this is how you should treat the

00:14:31 --> 00:14:34

people of his neighborhood. My dear respected brothers,

00:14:34 --> 00:14:35

I'm just giving you an example.

00:14:35 --> 00:14:39

And our ulama have written, in neighborhood, they

00:14:40 --> 00:14:40

are There

00:14:42 --> 00:14:45

are 3 types of neighbors you have. 1

00:14:45 --> 00:14:47

who has got 3 rights over you. 3

00:14:47 --> 00:14:47

rights.

00:14:48 --> 00:14:49

He is a neighbor,

00:14:50 --> 00:14:50

he is

00:14:51 --> 00:14:53

a Muslim, and he's your relative.

00:14:54 --> 00:14:57

You have to treat him extra kind because

00:14:57 --> 00:14:59

he's your neighbor, plus he's a he's your

00:14:59 --> 00:15:02

he's a person who is your relative and

00:15:02 --> 00:15:04

he's a Muslim. Then there's a neighbor who

00:15:04 --> 00:15:05

got 2 right through him.

00:15:05 --> 00:15:07

And that means he's a Muslim and he's

00:15:07 --> 00:15:08

your neighbor,

00:15:08 --> 00:15:10

and one who's got one right over you.

00:15:15 --> 00:15:17

He's a non Muslim, but he's your neighbor.

00:15:17 --> 00:15:19

Fulfill his right also.

00:15:19 --> 00:15:20

Islam

00:15:22 --> 00:15:24

in the Quran in the beginning was suddenly

00:15:24 --> 00:15:24

will jump.

00:15:25 --> 00:15:27

A person who is a neighbor for you

00:15:27 --> 00:15:29

for a short period of time.

00:15:29 --> 00:15:31

Now you're sitting in a queue in the

00:15:31 --> 00:15:32

home affairs,

00:15:32 --> 00:15:34

or you're sitting in a queue in the

00:15:34 --> 00:15:36

hospital. A person is with you for the

00:15:36 --> 00:15:37

next 1, 2 hours.

00:15:41 --> 00:15:43

In the Quran, there is his right

00:15:45 --> 00:15:47

that in that 2 hours, you see to

00:15:47 --> 00:15:48

it that you don't harm him.

00:15:49 --> 00:15:50

You'll be good to him. You'll be kind

00:15:50 --> 00:15:52

to him. A person is set is setting

00:15:52 --> 00:15:54

next to you in the plane. He's going

00:15:54 --> 00:15:56

to be in the plane according to your

00:15:56 --> 00:15:58

flight, 5 hours, 6 hours, 8 hours. He's.

00:15:59 --> 00:16:01

He also got a right over you.

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

That, you know, there was a sheep that

00:16:17 --> 00:16:19

were being slaughtered in his house. So when

00:16:19 --> 00:16:21

he was being slaughtered and they were cutting

00:16:21 --> 00:16:24

the meat, Abdullah ibn Amr ibn had

00:16:25 --> 00:16:28

great Sahabi. He said, see to it before

00:16:28 --> 00:16:29

you give anyone.

00:16:29 --> 00:16:31

Before you give anyone the meat, give to

00:16:31 --> 00:16:32

the non Muslim neighbor.

00:16:50 --> 00:16:52

Before you give anyone or give your non

00:16:52 --> 00:16:54

Muslim neighbor the meat, before you give the

00:16:54 --> 00:16:55

Muslim neighbor.

00:16:55 --> 00:16:58

So this is what I was reading while

00:16:58 --> 00:17:00

I was making, you know, the

00:17:00 --> 00:17:02

research on this. So there was a there

00:17:02 --> 00:17:04

was a a person in America who wrote

00:17:04 --> 00:17:06

about the rights of neighbors. So he even

00:17:06 --> 00:17:09

made mention of the name Muhammad Isla Ismael

00:17:09 --> 00:17:10

Al Muqaddam.

00:17:11 --> 00:17:12

He say one brother

00:17:12 --> 00:17:14

that he was a neighbor to a non

00:17:14 --> 00:17:14

Muslim,

00:17:15 --> 00:17:17

and when he was a the neighbor went

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

for a holiday. So whatever used to come

00:17:20 --> 00:17:22

to the neighbor's house, the newspapers, the pamphlets,

00:17:23 --> 00:17:23

the mail,

00:17:24 --> 00:17:26

you know, he used to he kept it

00:17:26 --> 00:17:29

well. He also looked after the neighbor's house.

00:17:29 --> 00:17:30

And after a while, when the neighbor came

00:17:30 --> 00:17:32

back, he went to give him. He said,

00:17:32 --> 00:17:34

see, when you were born, all of this

00:17:34 --> 00:17:36

may came. I kept it for you. This

00:17:36 --> 00:17:38

is yours. So he said, why did you

00:17:38 --> 00:17:41

do it? To say Islam taught us to

00:17:41 --> 00:17:43

look after the rights of the neighbors.

00:17:44 --> 00:17:45

To in that book, which I read this

00:17:45 --> 00:17:46

morning,

00:17:48 --> 00:17:51

He became a Muslim because of what Islam

00:17:51 --> 00:17:52

says about the rights of neighbors.

00:17:53 --> 00:17:55

Just as we've got a right with regard

00:17:55 --> 00:17:56

to our neighbors,

00:17:56 --> 00:17:59

we also got a right of the community

00:17:59 --> 00:18:00

we stay in.

00:18:08 --> 00:18:10

It also has got a right over us.

00:18:10 --> 00:18:12

You can come into a country or be

00:18:12 --> 00:18:14

part of a country and say, I'm only

00:18:14 --> 00:18:16

going to take from the country. I'm not

00:18:16 --> 00:18:17

gonna give to the country.

00:18:24 --> 00:18:26

The difficulties of this country.

00:18:27 --> 00:18:27

Unemployment.

00:18:31 --> 00:18:33

How much you can do too?

00:18:34 --> 00:18:36

That is our right. And there are many

00:18:36 --> 00:18:37

things in a country

00:18:37 --> 00:18:40

that are not related to faith.

00:18:40 --> 00:18:43

They are related to the community and the

00:18:43 --> 00:18:43

society.

00:18:45 --> 00:18:47

For example, crime. Crime is not something to

00:18:47 --> 00:18:48

do with religion.

00:18:49 --> 00:18:51

Crime has got to do with community.

00:18:52 --> 00:18:54

If there is a community in which there

00:18:54 --> 00:18:56

is no safety and security,

00:18:56 --> 00:18:58

then the people of the community must come

00:18:58 --> 00:19:01

together to try and solve the crime problem.

00:19:11 --> 00:19:12

You know, when you argue, he gave this

00:19:12 --> 00:19:14

example if a person is going from train

00:19:14 --> 00:19:16

to one place to another place. No matter

00:19:16 --> 00:19:18

what reason the person is going to another

00:19:18 --> 00:19:18

place,

00:19:21 --> 00:19:22

but while you are in that train, while

00:19:22 --> 00:19:24

you are in that plane, it is in

00:19:24 --> 00:19:26

everyone's interest that that particular journey must be

00:19:26 --> 00:19:27

same.

00:19:27 --> 00:19:30

He might be going for another reason, he

00:19:30 --> 00:19:31

might be going for an evil reason, but

00:19:31 --> 00:19:33

if you are sharing a space,

00:19:33 --> 00:19:36

then you or everyone must put their efforts

00:19:36 --> 00:19:39

to the wheel to be able to make

00:19:39 --> 00:19:40

the journey safe.

00:19:40 --> 00:19:42

In this country we are,

00:19:44 --> 00:19:46

If you look at the history of Islam,

00:19:47 --> 00:19:47

and

00:19:47 --> 00:19:49

look we don't read our history.

00:19:49 --> 00:19:51

And I'm saying that we don't read our

00:19:51 --> 00:19:53

history, therefore, we can't take lessons from our

00:19:53 --> 00:19:54

history.

00:19:55 --> 00:19:58

Wherever Muslims went in the past, wherever they

00:19:58 --> 00:19:58

went

00:19:59 --> 00:20:01

this I can take a custom on this.

00:20:01 --> 00:20:04

Wherever Muslims went, they made such an impact

00:20:04 --> 00:20:05

where they stayed,

00:20:06 --> 00:20:08

that the people there were impressed with the

00:20:08 --> 00:20:10

way Muslims stayed with them.

00:20:28 --> 00:20:30

Why? Because the Muslims treated them well. Muslims,

00:20:31 --> 00:20:31

Indonesia,

00:20:31 --> 00:20:34

they say today the biggest Muslim country is

00:20:34 --> 00:20:34

Indonesia.

00:20:34 --> 00:20:37

Indonesia, I'm going to go to the Berbers.

00:20:51 --> 00:20:53

So we have a responsibility

00:20:53 --> 00:20:55

to the country we are staying,

00:20:55 --> 00:20:57

And you can't just go say, nay, we

00:20:57 --> 00:20:58

are staying in this country. We have no

00:20:58 --> 00:21:00

responsibility. You have a responsibility.

00:21:01 --> 00:21:03

And this is something that you must do.

00:21:03 --> 00:21:03

Has

00:21:07 --> 00:21:07

a

00:21:10 --> 00:21:12

he may mention, and I I wrote it

00:21:12 --> 00:21:14

down. To live in an enclosed environment,

00:21:15 --> 00:21:17

simply content with your prayers and fasting,

00:21:18 --> 00:21:20

apathetic to the people and society you're living,

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

never introducing them to Islam

00:21:23 --> 00:21:25

and your own personal qualities,

00:21:25 --> 00:21:26

then remember,

00:21:27 --> 00:21:29

when there is any type of protest that

00:21:29 --> 00:21:29

happened

00:21:30 --> 00:21:32

and there is any type of

00:21:33 --> 00:21:34

uprising that happened,

00:21:34 --> 00:21:35

you will not be safe.

00:21:47 --> 00:21:50

They will stand up against you. What did

00:21:50 --> 00:21:51

you do to make them to

00:21:52 --> 00:21:54

make them turn towards you with goodness?

00:21:54 --> 00:21:56

And I make mention with it, although this

00:21:56 --> 00:21:56

is in passing,

00:22:05 --> 00:22:06

You are part of this country,

00:22:06 --> 00:22:08

and because many of us are from the

00:22:08 --> 00:22:09

Indo Pakistani,

00:22:09 --> 00:22:11

I just like to make mention. Yeah. Just

00:22:11 --> 00:22:13

in December this year, 14

00:22:14 --> 00:22:15

of India,

00:22:16 --> 00:22:19

great, great of India, 14 including.

00:22:23 --> 00:22:24

The the the principle of

00:22:33 --> 00:22:35

to show people you are part of this

00:22:35 --> 00:22:35

country.

00:22:35 --> 00:22:37

So in another 2 weeks time, we have

00:22:37 --> 00:22:39

whoever we is, we must go. I can't

00:22:39 --> 00:22:41

say from this member who you must vote

00:22:41 --> 00:22:42

to. I can't do that. Maybe it's not

00:22:42 --> 00:22:44

the right thing for me to use the

00:22:44 --> 00:22:45

Minka to say that. But this much I

00:22:45 --> 00:22:46

will say,

00:22:47 --> 00:22:49

whoever supports Israel,

00:22:49 --> 00:22:53

whichever political party supports Israel against our Palestinian

00:22:54 --> 00:22:55

brothers and sisters,

00:22:55 --> 00:22:57

and who do not say anything against the

00:22:57 --> 00:22:57

genocide,

00:22:57 --> 00:22:59

you cannot give vote to such

00:23:09 --> 00:23:11

Now you can look at other options. You

00:23:11 --> 00:23:12

can maybe take a reason.

00:23:13 --> 00:23:16

Has written, sometimes you can vote for a

00:23:16 --> 00:23:17

party for a specific reason.

00:23:18 --> 00:23:19

It doesn't mean you

00:23:20 --> 00:23:22

you agree with everything of that party. So

00:23:22 --> 00:23:24

sometimes you vote for a party because of

00:23:24 --> 00:23:27

one reason. Whatever that reason, whatever your principle

00:23:27 --> 00:23:28

is, maybe it will be a good effective

00:23:28 --> 00:23:29

opposition,

00:23:29 --> 00:23:31

or maybe it has done good to Palestine.

00:23:31 --> 00:23:32

I'm not saying anything.

00:23:32 --> 00:23:34

That is something you can say. If you

00:23:34 --> 00:23:35

are doing it for that reason, it doesn't

00:23:35 --> 00:23:38

mean you agree with everything. Sometimes you vote

00:23:38 --> 00:23:41

for specific reason. The other things which are

00:23:41 --> 00:23:42

happening in our country,

00:23:45 --> 00:23:46

crime, corruption,
