Is it okay for Muslims to defend the rights of other minority religious groups.
00:00:07 -->
00:00:37
It is a duty upon Muslims to defend the rights of anyone who is weak irrespective of their faith,
practice and commitment. Those are really important tenants that we learn from the Sierra and the
sooner the Prophet Mohammed Salah law what he was sending them, you learn it not just from his
behavior in particular moments, but in his general attitude to those who were weak. And you know
that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was one who experienced levels of hostility, trauma,

with his emergence of messenger ship, and sharing it with the world today. But I do remind you not
to forget that there are certain limitations, that we must know that not because we defend someone
because of because of them being undervalued and being oppressed. That That means we defend a false
ideology and a false practice and faith. And we have to separate between individuals and people's
beliefs and practices and faithfulness. So that's an important thing. Number two, we have to
understand that when we come to step forward to assist others, it's not because of personal gain
that we are seeking, meaning if I rub your back, you'll scratch my back in return. Number three,
00:01:23 -->
00:01:48
it's important to know that the balance has to always be in accordance to the word of a law and the
tradition of the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, there are certain things that are
indefensible, and certain behaviors that are not tolerable for us as Muslims, even though we have a
love and a tolerance for an individual. We don't have a love and a tolerance for the act that may be
committed as an atrocity and an abomination in our faith. I hope that's clear.
