			The topic of my talk is media and
Islam, war or peace.
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:17
			What is the definition of the word
media media means main means of
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:23
			mass communication. And Islam is
derived from the root word Salam,
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:27
			which means peace. It is also
derived from the Arabic word
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:30
			Selim, which means to submit your
will to the will of Allah subhanaw
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:36
			taala. Thus Islam means peace
acquired by submitting your will
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
			to the will of Allah subhanaw
taala.
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:45
			So, today's talk is media and
Islam, war or peace, main means of
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:51
			mass communication and peace
acquired by submitting your will
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:54
			to the will of Allah subhanaw
taala war or peace.
		
00:00:56 --> 00:01:01
			Media today it is the most
important tool in the world or
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:06
			rather media today is the most
important weapon in the world.
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:11
			It can convert black into white
day into night hero into villain
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:15
			villain to hero the media it is
very powerful.
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:21
			And as science and technology is
advancing media to is changing
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:25
			drastically every day, every week
a new system is coming up.
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:31
			And as science and technology is
changing, media too is changing.
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:38
			And media can be used for good
purposes as well as for bad
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:43
			purposes. For example, a knife can
be used for good purposes, like
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:46
			cutting fruits, cutting
vegetables, etc. Whereas the same
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:51
			knife can be used for bad
purposes, for stealing, for
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:57
			robbing for murder, etc. So media
can be used for good purposes, as
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:58
			well as for bad purposes.
