00:00:04 --> 00:00:09
			The second misconception is that
Muslims are fundamentalist.
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:15
			What is the meaning of the word
fundamentalist? Fundamentalist by
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:20
			definition means a person who
strictly adheres to the ancient
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:26
			Doctor line of any religion. For
example, for a person, to be a
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:31
			good mathematician, he should know
follow and strive to practice the
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:35
			fundamentals of maths. Unless he's
a fundamentalist in the field of
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:39
			maths, he cannot be a good
mathematician, for the person, to
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:44
			be a good scientist, he should
know, follow and strive to
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:47
			practice the fundamentals of
science, unless he's a
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:50
			fundamentalist in the field of
science, he cannot be a good
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:51
			scientist.
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:57
			You cannot paint all
fundamentalist with the same brush
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:59
			that all our good or all our bad,
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:04
			depending upon which field the
person is a fundamentalist, you
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:06
			have to label him accordingly.
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:13
			For example, there is a
fundamental swab. He's been for
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:14
			society.
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:19
			On the other hand, there is a
fundamentalist doctor, he is a
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:20
			boon for the society.
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:27
			As far as I am concerned, I am a
fundamentalist Muslim, and I am
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:29
			proud to be a fundamentalist
Muslim.
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:38
			Because I know, and I strive to
follow the fundamentals of slam,
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:44
			and I know that there is not a
single fundamental of Islam, which
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:46
			is against humanity as hope.
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:52
			I challenge any human being to
point out a single fundamental of
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:57
			Islam, which is against humanity
as a whole. There might be some
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:02
			fundamentals, which someone might
think they're against humanity.
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:07
			But the moment you give the
logical background, there is not a
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:11
			single fundamental of Islam, which
is against humanity as a whole.
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:15
			When we go back in history,
according to the Webster
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:16
			Dictionary,
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:23
			fundamentalist, was first used to
describe a group of American
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:27
			Protestant Christians who
protested against the church, the
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:32
			Christian church, they believed
the message of the Bible was from
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:36
			called these American protesting
questions. They not only believed
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:40
			the message of the Bible was from
God, but they believe that every
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:44
			word, every letter of the Bible is
the Word of God.
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:50
			If anyone can prove every word,
every letter of the Bible is the
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:52
			Word of God, then this moment is a
good movement.
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:58
			Whereas on the other hand, if
anyone can prove that the Bible is
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:01
			not the word of God, then this
movement is not a good movement.
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:06
			According to the Oxford
Dictionary, fundamentalist is a
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:11
			person who strictly adheres to the
ancient Dr line of any religion.
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:17
			And in the revised edition of the
Oxford Dictionary, fundamentalist
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:21
			is a person who strictly adheres
to the ancient doctor, right of
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:23
			any religion, especially Islam.
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:30
			This word, especially Islam has
been added in the revised edition
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:32
			of the Oxford Dictionary.
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:34
			The moment
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:39
			you hear the word fundamentalist,
you start thinking of a Muslim,
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:44
			you start thinking of an
extremist. I tell the people, I am
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:48
			an extremist. I'm extremely kind.
I'm extremely merciful. I'm
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:53
			extremely loving. I'm extremely
just I'm extremely honest. What's
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:57
			wrong in being an extremist? Why
are we apologetic?
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:02
			But we should only be an extremist
in the right direction. We should
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:05
			not be an extremist in the wrong
direction.
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:10
			As Allah subhanaw taala says, in
the Glorious Quran, in Surah
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:15
			Baqarah Chapter number two was
number 208. With the Hulu facility
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:20
			Kapha enter into SLUB
wholeheartedly, you can't say
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:26
			partly, so why are we Muslims? Why
are we apologetic? We have the
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:31
			best Dean. We had the dean will
have with us. Time for us to turn
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:32
			the tables over
