Today the media says that Muslims are terrorists.

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

What is the meaning of the word terrorists? Terrorists, by

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

definition means a person who causes terror.

00:00:16 --> 00:00:20

And many times, two different labels are given to the same

00:00:20 --> 00:00:24

person for the same activity. About 60 to 70 years back, before

00:00:24 --> 00:00:28

India gained its freedom, there were people who were fighting for

00:00:28 --> 00:00:31

the freedom of the country. And these people by the British

00:00:31 --> 00:00:35

government, they will call us terrorists, whereas by US common

00:00:35 --> 00:00:40

Indians, they were called as freedom fighters as patriots, same

00:00:40 --> 00:00:44

people, same activity, but two different labels. If you agree

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

with the view of the British Common that the British had come

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

to rule over India, then you would call these people as terrorists.

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

Whereas if you agree with the view of the common Indians, that the

00:00:53 --> 00:00:57

British has had come to the trade, they had no right to rule over us,

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

then you would call these people as freedom fighters, as patriots,

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

same people, same activity, but two different labels. And we have

00:01:06 --> 00:01:07

several such examples.

00:01:09 --> 00:01:12

The Britishers they call Bhagat Singh asterisk, well, as we common

00:01:12 --> 00:01:16

Indians, we call him a freedom fighter, a Patreon, same person,

00:01:17 --> 00:01:21

same activity, but two different labels. And we have several such

00:01:21 --> 00:01:24

examples. We had the example of the American Revolution that took

00:01:24 --> 00:01:29

place in 1775, George Washington and Benjamin Franklin, by the

00:01:29 --> 00:01:33

Britishers, they will call us terrorists number one. Later on,

00:01:33 --> 00:01:37

when America gets its freedom, George Washington, he's made the

00:01:37 --> 00:01:38

president of USA

00:01:40 --> 00:01:43

imagine terrorists number one becomes the president of USA.

00:01:47 --> 00:01:50

And we have several such examples. We have the example of South

00:01:50 --> 00:01:54

Africa when it was ruled by the white apartheid government. Nelson

00:01:54 --> 00:01:58

Mandela was imprisoned in Robben Island for more than 25 years. And

00:01:58 --> 00:02:03

later on, when South Africa gets its freedom, Nelson Mandela is

00:02:03 --> 00:02:07

made the person of South Africa imagine Titus number one becomes

00:02:07 --> 00:02:11

the president of South Africa. And he gets a Nobel Prize for Peace,

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

imagine that he was number one gets a Nobel Prize for Peace.

00:02:15 --> 00:02:20

Not that he was bad, then he became good for the same activity

00:02:20 --> 00:02:23

for which he was called as a terrorist. He gets the Nobel Prize

00:02:23 --> 00:02:24

for Peace.

00:02:25 --> 00:02:29

So, you have to realize the media it is very powerful. Whatever

00:02:29 --> 00:02:32

labels the media gives a person that label gets stuck to him,

00:02:33 --> 00:02:36

whether right or wrong is secondary, whatever label the

00:02:36 --> 00:02:39

media gives a person that label gets stuck to and the whole world

00:02:39 --> 00:02:42

believes it any misconceptions spread by the media without

00:02:42 --> 00:02:47

verifying it. Allah subhanaw taala says and sutra chapter 49 Verse

00:02:47 --> 00:02:51

number six in Jack confess Camilla but in fact, by you know, whenever

00:02:51 --> 00:02:54

a message comes to the check it up before we pass it on to the third

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

person
