			barakallahu fakie Mario's Rebecca Hi, Ron, and Sha, Allah you can continue watching with us. Thank
you.
		
00:03:56 --> 00:04:12
			So inshallah Allah today's title of this conversation all from dust, was inspired by the hadith of a
civil law. Salallahu alaihe salam, which is part of his final Hajj sermon. Where he says, Are you
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:59
			in narangba coma head or in about coma head? Cold look on the atom. What are the lung trop? a coma
komenda lahia. Calm, while SLE Albion Allah Julian problem in the taqwa. Allah help a loved
Allahumma phpsessid Allah Nam, Paula valuable. lira shahidullah. And the translation of that is, oh
people, your Lord is one and your father is one. You come from Adam and Adam is from dust. The most
honorable amongst you before a law is the one who is the most conscious of him. Have I conveyed a
while lobby my witness? The people replied Yes. Then he said sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, not the
one who witnessed inform the one
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:06
			Who was absent? And then he continued with his hope bustle allottee within him and his reminders to
the Hajaj
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:40
			you know, spell out when I read this, in here this has to do with that. I feel like a child who is
listening to the will see the final advice of a dying parents of a dying father. I think of what he
would think if he was amongst us today or he sees the condition that we are in. I think of the day
that you know, we meet him sha Allah to Allah and he would ask us, did you follow my teachings? Did
you hold on to the Dean of a law, like I taught you.
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:46
			And I pray to Allah subhanaw taala that we are on the side on the right side of
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:51
			history on the day of accountability along I mean,
		
00:05:53 --> 00:06:34
			every single thing that also will last a little while and it was seldom mentioned in this hotbar
serves a vital purpose on the prosperity of any society. Today we're going to focus on one inshallah
Adam. We know the realities on the ground, and it is far from the equality and justice that is
claimed in the texts of law. The aim of this conversation, inshallah is to clarify the concepts of
equality and justice from an Islamic perspective, and to hopefully enlighten us with the
understanding from the Quran and the Sunnah, and the scholarly traditions and inspire some real
change on the ground.
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:58
			And here, and for those of you who already you know, are very familiar with this, with this topic,
and you're joining us today, inshallah, this serves as a reminder, because a lot of times Allah says
that killed in the decluttering ceremony, and remind for Indeed, the reminder is beneficial to the
ones who believe or have faith.
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:54
			And to help us with that. We are delighted and excited and honored to have this dialogue with the
one and only Dr. Yunus, the founder of Gemma Institute, the first Islamic institution in America for
women by women. Dr. Yunus is an American Board Certified obstetrician and gynecologist with over 20
years of experience in serving the public. She moved to Saudi Arabia in 2008, where she graduated
with a degree in Islamic studies from the mecca Institute of Islamic Studies, and she attended
double Huda foreign for the health program. She has been a teacher of Islamic Studies and the poor
and for over 15 years, and in 2013, she found the agenda Institute because of the lack of adequate
		
00:07:54 --> 00:08:44
			services, online or otherwise, which focused on women's Islamic education, Jenna Institute began
offering one course and by 2017, this was increased to three as of 2020 genette Institute now offers
nine courses ranging in subjects from Tajweed have to professional growth and self purification.
classes are offered online and on site. And they serve as students from around the globe. Jeannette
Institute has also recently started a youth program, which teaches the values of Islamic moral
conduct. So thank you so much, Dr. Hayhoe for being with us and agreeing to do this in sha Allah
Allah bought a calligraphy comb. And just want to tell you guys the format of this program, which I
		
00:08:44 --> 00:09:01
			love, this is going to be about a one hour conversation. And then shallow we have about a q&a for a
half hour. So type in your questions in the chat boxes in Facebook and YouTube. On Chawla, Tyler,
we'll get to them after the program.
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:10
			Dr. hypha Thank you for joining us. I'm on a call on the floor where I caught you there was that
what you said is about to me.
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:51
			My last panterra make me better than what people think of me and forgive what they don't know about
me. rbma hamdulillah Blimey, Salaam Alaikum. Everybody. I always would love to have everyone tells
me where are you joining us from the beauty of the internet. So just to give you a background, and a
sister without didn't give it is actually this was supposed to be a live program in Cleveland.
Remember? And this was supposed to be actually here. Right? Must be a test care retreat. So how
long? This weekend? Yeah. So Pamela and I have to say this, I didn't know who our sister were far
but I was so impressed with her
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:59
			professionalism, and the communication. I loved it. So and I have not been to Cleveland. I've been
to Columbus.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:06
			I've been to Cincinnati and remember even when I one time we were discussing I was like, Are you
from Cincinnati? Because I was
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:50
			so I was that beautiful program there too. This was Subhanallah This was planned definitely before
the COVID and finalized maybe at the COVID was started but we didn't finalize everything. But as
always, Allah has remind you and me and this is a very good start is Enter to read one outie to
Allahu Allah now you read, you will learn something, I want something and Allah does what he wants
and always at the end Allah Subhana Allah does what he wants. That's number one. So the $100 bill
and me still it's beautiful because if it was a retreat which we do a lot of these hamdulillah
before of course the COVID it would have been the local people in Cincinnati the local woman it's
		
00:10:50 --> 00:11:33
			very beautiful because it's very private and intimate. But also it's very different I have to say
but this one will is open to everyone people can come back to it maybe they cannot join now because
of their circumstances but they can always go back whether it's on Facebook or whether on the
YouTube channel so during the look at everything that we have as positive one thing if you allow me
I want to correct we were not the first woman to woman Institute actually there is two one is Rama
foundation in California and robata in Minneapolis started a little bit earlier than us we do things
differently but also was started by a woman and 100 letter of belonging and this is not because we
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:42
			think women are better or because whatever I don't want to ask a woman to think this way is just
basically I firsthand lived it
		
00:11:43 --> 00:12:30
			and there is nothing like when you feel something you taste it is not you hear about it or you study
about it is you taste it yourself is when I moved to Saudi and actually when I applied to study
there was no option is always you're taught by a woman and it was amazing I I studied here before I
moved to Saudi and was all buying men initio May Allah give them genetically for those for
everything they taught me but when you see the same caliber and some of them or even more, you say
wow, that's number one number two plus it comes from a woman she feels there's a lot of things we
share in common and then you are much more comfortable and they are more approachable simply because
		
00:12:30 --> 00:13:16
			we have the same gender so 100 leg or a blonde this really moved me to what because not everybody
can park and leave especially these days is becoming almost impossible. So handling the hero but I
mean I ask everyone who's listening to us, please make dua that Allah subhanho wa Taala number one
make it sincerely for his sake is not for any other reason only for him and that he would reward
everyone not to me only any project and I'm sure what you agree with me it's not the person see you
see on the screen that's the face there is usually people who work much harder they are probably
much better right and they get everything there's always people who like to work in the back and
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:45
			there's people who work in the front so 100 euro brand me and then when SR will fall approached me
and says let's do this virtual and I was like I'm doing everything virtual including I'm seeing my
patients virtual now we are doing virtual visits, we are doing phone visits and virtual visits. So
why not spread the knowledge of Allah subhanaw taala through virtual and Alhamdulillah you may laugh
everybody but I always make dua law please and let corner come to the internet
		
00:13:47 --> 00:14:35
			because Subhana Allah does a we are learning and you can imagine if we had no internet Subhan Allah
I mean very recently this was like three or four months ago. I think that for us is like 20 years
ago this like from the previous century somebody from Africa approached me and they said suicide if
I can do you have CDs? And I said yeah hamdulillah we used to make CDs now of course we don't make
it anymore, but we still have some and immediate response Look at me offer and I said all these CDs
are online, and water fully answered. She said sister Erica, we barely get electricity two hours a
day. How? And most of the people don't have it. Don't have internet. Can you please mail us and
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:57
			hamdulillah we had and we did so lets us all not take everything for granted. Now I keep reminding
myself 100 law we live in so much prosperity May Allah make us Miss shaqiri May Allah Allah make us
of those who are grateful to Allah subhanho wa Taala hamdu Lillahi Rabbil aalameen does acmarket for
inviting us Zakat is a pleasure in sha Allah who meets in person
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:19
			Invest on one euro bionic in a moment. And the beautiful bird that recited What a beauty Allah shala
beauty Yanni externally and the way she recite and the beautiful face and unshot law May Allah make
it internally even more beautiful Tamara
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:49
			Allahumma me because I can never fail. So inshallah, let's dive into it and begin with the
discussion in sha Allah Allah. So first question that I have for you, Dr. Haifa, on the topic of
human dignity kahraman incense. What does the Quran teach us about human dignity and the value of
human life or the human being? How should a Muslim understand that value of life?
		
00:15:51 --> 00:16:14
			So Bismillah Alhamdulillah wa salatu salam ala rasulillah, who Allah Allah, he was a woman, what? I
always say this to myself, for any question I got in my life, I'm not talking about questions like
this in my daily life, always, always go back to the source, meaning what Allah said, What is a
roswaal a site or Samson?
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:23
			Anything, anything. And I'll give you an an example. And this is a true story. I heard that.
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:40
			As color was, was a scholar made a statement saying that every problem in life, every question in
life, every The answer is in the Quran. And this was an interview.
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:52
			And so the the presenter asked him, so yeah, Shia? Are you telling me the answer of how to make a
bread is in the Quran?
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:56
			And he said, Yes.
		
00:16:57 --> 00:17:02
			confident. And the presenter said, okay, where is it?
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:21
			And if I was you and me, we will be scratching through our brain. Let's go Where is the bread? There
is not even the word bread in the Koran. And then he looked at the presenter, and he said, Excuse me
for two minutes. Is that okay? And he said, Sure. So he left. And he came back.
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:25
			And he said, and he gave him the recipe are the bread.
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:29
			So the presenter said, but where is it in the Quran?
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:48
			And he said, I went and asked the bread maker, how to make the bread. So the presenter said, but
that's not the origin. He said, No, it's in the Quran. Because Allah said was Aloo Allah decree in
quantum law Talamo asked the people of knowledge, if you don't know.
		
00:17:50 --> 00:18:12
			Did you get the point? Absolutely. The point is, everything is in the Quran. Everything is in the
Quran could be explicit. It's absolutely there could be the concept is there. So back to your
questions. You had two questions in one question. Number one, it's okay our for our take. It's okay.
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:21
			So number one, dignity of the human being. And I love the question is the human being it is not the
Muslim or the moment
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:31
			and the second one is human life. sanctity. Is it there? Let's take it and the answer is absolutely
yes. It's in the Quran actually.
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:39
			Allah subhanaw taala said it's an sortly slot will add Khurana Benny Adam.
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:41
			Warhammer known for very well.
		
00:18:42 --> 00:19:10
			What is an L hamanaka? Uberti? Well football now Hamada Kathy Riemann Hello Connor taglia. let's
translate. Well occurred. Indeed volley. kolomna dignified, elevated the status of many Adam, their
children of Adam, regardless man, a woman, black, white, young, old Muslim, Kaffir
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:16
			Benny Adam, we are all children of Adam Carolla. We have elevated them
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:28
			very well. And we facilitate for them to travel to be carried on land and on in the sea.
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:49
			And we have gave them sustenance of the pure things for you, but and now it comes in human being,
what for well now hamanaka theory and we have elevated their status and we have bless them more than
any other of our creation. Who's speaking Allah.
		
00:19:50 --> 00:20:00
			So the fact are, you a human being, were dignified by status quo, of being human being
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:13
			And I say this all the time in my office, especially with the new patients when she comes. And one
of the questions we say just to get ourselves familiar with each other and I say what do you do?
Right? And she said, I'm just mother.
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:19
			actually staying home mom, that's how they say it here. And I said, just
		
00:20:21 --> 00:21:19
			just, you're a human being. And she looks at me I was like, Of course I'm a human being. I said,
Yes, but I need all of us everyone who's listening to me. That look at us. We are not arrogant. I'm
not saying a statement of arrogant, Allah said it. Khurana pronto Karim from honor the fact I am a
human being. This comes with honor and comes with a responsibility. Every honor Allah gave to us in
the Quran brings with it responsibility, I need to live to that honor Khurram, now Bernie Adam, I am
the fact I am a human. The fact I can understand, I can comprehend. I can differentiate between
right and wrong. Allah elevated my status. Quran now Benny Adam, so absolutely Allah did. Allah
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:36
			subhana wa tada did. Then you come to the human life, also in the Quran, and it's Subhanallah it
came in the context of not the Muslims came in the context of Bernie saw aid. And a loss of this in
short remark on the table.
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:55
			mean edgerly deli, caca taberna Allah when he saw he, as a result of that, we have made it
obligation on the children of Israel. And very virtually, men are utterly innocent. They rarely
enough sin. Whosoever kill
		
00:21:56 --> 00:23:09
			human life knifes life regardless, regardless life without a life meaning not as a punishment
because that person killed someone our facade infield or that human being surprised mischief on this
earth for can Mr. patola NASA jumia as if he that person killed all humanity, killing one life. And
the opposite is true in the same verse, woman here, and whomsoever, give life necessitates life back
at NASA and NASA jumia as if he gave life or necessitate all humanity, all human life. human life is
one of the most sanctuary thing in Islam. Islam came in to protect five. They call it a bottle yet
what Islam came to protect five things, five, and knifes life again, religion and a lack of the
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:27
			wisdom, wealth and money and a shot of the owner. And scholars had a huge debate, huge debate, which
one is more important? Which one comes first? neffs life or religion?
		
00:23:30 --> 00:24:27
			was on our shoulders and saw tonight in the BS that if the choice came between life and religion,
life comes first. How long could he hurt? My man whosoever was coerced to say the word of Khufu, but
he is internally Absolutely. Still a moment there is nothing, there is no harm. He is not going to
be taken accountable. And when you look when you read the commentary on it, they will tell you when
someone is forced to say the word of Cofer otherwise he or she will be dead. So absolutely life is
is amazingly by Allah subhanho wa Taala first and through the teaching of Rasul Allah, Allah to
center, His sanctuary, a sanctuary and that's why one of them is when we need to take care of our
		
00:24:27 --> 00:24:32
			health. And I say this always to everybody is not because this is the trend.
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:46
			It is not because this is how everybody now you have to exercise and diet is because it's an Amana.
This human body is a trust Allah put it with us. I need to take care of that. Trust.
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:51
			Pamela
		
00:24:52 --> 00:24:59
			that's that's amazing. Pamela so can we say that? Islam came to preserve the honor
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:00
			of
		
00:25:01 --> 00:25:27
			the human being, that it's one of the Islamic principles to preserve the life and the human sanctity
of all humankind and not just Muslims. Absolutely, because I absolutely human life is valuable that
in the sight of Allah, because it's a human life,
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:40
			when, and when does that the life of the believer becomes more than the life of the non believer
when they are fighting
		
00:25:42 --> 00:25:50
			in a fight in a fight, but I shouldn't say they are not they are not believers, let them die out of
it.
		
00:25:51 --> 00:26:11
			That's not Islam. That's not to stand and I did not know my Dean. Well, I think very important. Can
you please emphasize that because there are some people who think that, you know, this is their
fight? This is their, their problem? I don't have to play a role or I don't I don't have a
responsibility to it. No,
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:14
			I'm lost panel hautala
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:42
			put me on this earth, put you on this earth, put us on this earth for a reason. And we all know the
answer califa presented of Allah, the successor of our los pantalla in the way he see it's befit and
when Allah subhanho wa Taala is just and we all know that along the right eye and you should be
representing justice on this earth.
		
00:26:44 --> 00:26:45
			And justice is for everyone.
		
00:26:46 --> 00:26:48
			Justice for everyone.
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:56
			human life is for everyone. I should not talk and say they are katha, let them die, then I am not a
Muslim,
		
00:26:58 --> 00:27:27
			then I am not a Muslim. If they were fighting me, that's a different story. And a lot of this
actually incidents in Montana for I am remembering well, Allah said that language como la ville,
Allah will not will not take you responsible, or Allah subhanho wa Taala does not want you to treat
those who did not fight you and your deen and did not attack you, but to treat them with excellence.
		
00:27:28 --> 00:27:30
			So when I see any
		
00:27:31 --> 00:27:32
			injustice,
		
00:27:34 --> 00:27:44
			I wonder what, let alone a human being life. And I don't. And I say it's not my problem. You know
what will happen? One day it will happen to us.
		
00:27:45 --> 00:27:48
			And then that person will look and says it's not my problem.
		
00:27:50 --> 00:28:28
			Help yourself, your son, your son. Absolutely. And I have to look at it as an Islamic principle. And
notice what is AutoSum in the Hadith that many are very familiar with. Men are amin Khan. mukha.
Have you ever your whosoever See, witness, Monica, what is mocha? mocha is in just something
rejected by Allah pantalla injustice in morality, and lack of fairness, destruction, all these are
mukha and he didn't say Monroe Amoco McCaffrey muslimeen
		
00:28:29 --> 00:28:49
			He didn't say whomsoever, see the rejected or unaccepted among Muslims mandra among Common Core, and
he kept it. We call it neck era in the Arabic language, meaning it's, it's not defined. So when I
see someone being killed, and just with no reason,
		
00:28:50 --> 00:28:52
			forgive me with cruelty.
		
00:28:53 --> 00:29:10
			If I don't feel it, there is something wrong with my humanity. Absolutely. Something wrong with my
humanity, whether this is my neighbor, whether this is my relative, whether this is someone I don't
even know whether that's a Muslim or a non Muslim, a human being
		
00:29:12 --> 00:29:36
			a human being, and we really need as Muslim to change this and is it's not because black lives
matter. To all lives matter but when certain lives is being looked down at absolutely it matters as
it matters with the other lives. This reminds me of the Hadith where the prophets I said themselves
		
00:29:37 --> 00:29:40
			I think it's a moment or a holy moment or a Muslim or Muslim
		
00:29:41 --> 00:29:59
			and that when you feel pain in one part of the body, the whole body feel right and remove him. What
are our homie him, this the parable, the parable of the similitude of the believers together is like
the body
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:05
			When one part of the body gets sick, the rest of the body will respond by fever.
		
00:30:07 --> 00:30:39
			So this applies to us as a nation as Muslims, because this one is mostly known, but in a humanity in
humanity, like our Swati Salatu was salam, and please look at this example. And then telling me,
other lives doesn't matter. He saw an animal, an animal, camel, and the camel was absolutely
emaciated. That's a cow. That's an animal. That's not a human being. He was so upset. And he said,
Who did this?
		
00:30:40 --> 00:30:42
			Who did this.
		
00:30:43 --> 00:31:06
			And the woman which some of us may be familiar with the woman who entered Hellfire because of her
cat, because of a cat, she left the cat, she actually kept the cat as a prisoner. She She held out
in the house, she did not feed her, and did not let her go out and find food. She the cat died, she
entered Diana.
		
00:31:08 --> 00:31:35
			And of course human beings life. If that animal life, that's my Dean and yours, what about people's
life, regardless of their background, we really need to move out of this. This is this is the real
face of Islam. And this is the time and the opportunity to show the real face of Islam. So people
will look at us and says Wow, this is not what I see and hear on the TV or on the media.
		
00:31:36 --> 00:31:40
			So how can we say that this is a
		
00:31:43 --> 00:31:47
			an important part of of having faith. So
		
00:31:48 --> 00:31:58
			you believe it or Muslims having the correct understanding of the value of human life is part of
amen is a part of
		
00:32:00 --> 00:32:08
			something that we have to believe in as Muslims. Something that I'm going to be held accountable for
on the Day of Judgment.
		
00:32:09 --> 00:32:28
			Is it to that extent or is it just something that you know, I have to hate in my heart and that's
it, you know, like I don't have to do anything more than that. I'll tell you what, what anything is
in the Quran? written in the Quran? Allah Fleming, deli, Kalki taboo, Lowry Buffy
		
00:32:29 --> 00:32:53
			the first two verses of salted Baccarat that he can't get out this book. Lovely Buffy. There's no
doubt who then the motorcade guidance to those who have Taqwa Allah conscious. So everything in this
book, that's what Allah says Radek, everything in this book is a guidance to those who wants to be
McDuck. So when I read Quran now Benny Adam,
		
00:32:55 --> 00:33:52
			when I read the story of RBL and Javi, they were not Muslims. There was no Muslims at that time,
meaning the meaning of Islam of a shadow. Or shadow ana Muhammadan rasul Allah, it's also automated
also white. When when the two brothers one is jealous from the other, and when killed the other for
us, mahamuni Allah said it's three things three descriptions. The feeling of jealousy made him
wrong, do the killing, make him nagging? Make him regret. regretful. Exactly. So absolutely,
absolutely. I think Allah subhanho wa Taala in your ob I mean, all of us, put us in situations bring
to us situations where he keeps reminding us reminding us of the basics, Basic Law jochum or
		
00:33:52 --> 00:34:08
			sulamani amphur sequence. This is the last I unsorted Toba describing the roswaal a search for Silla
his mission right larger Kumara tsunami unfussy come test come to you or sell to you a profit from

00:34:10 --> 00:34:31
			often as easily Hema I need to be more money narrow for him. His criteria are off or him merciful
and are off is not only merciful is not only loving is giving and loving with no expectation. That's
who he was. That's my and your
		
00:34:32 --> 00:34:59
			example lockets Canada Kofi rasulillah. He was one has an indeed worldly with the roswaal A Sato
sedan you had the best example I'll ask everybody here. And if this was live, I would want you to
answer we differ Rasul Allah salatu salam biLlahi la combine Allah, each one who is hearing for
Rasul Allah has to sit down, watch the video
		
00:35:01 --> 00:35:03
			What do you think he would have said?
		
00:35:05 --> 00:35:07
			The video of George Floyd?
		
00:35:08 --> 00:35:14
			Where where the policeman is eight minutes, 45 seconds? And I can't believe
		
00:35:16 --> 00:35:16
			what he say.
		
00:35:18 --> 00:35:22
			You know, what is not a misstep? Can you even imagine?
		
00:35:23 --> 00:35:27
			What is the answer all of your say? Absolutely not.
		
00:35:28 --> 00:35:42
			Absolutely not. This is my example. So that's how I should at least and I said this to everybody I
know. Minimum, I need to rejected completely and no justification.
		
00:35:43 --> 00:35:44
			Absolutely.
		
00:35:45 --> 00:35:52
			I need to rejected number one. Number two, how can I change? How can I change? And that's what he
said.
		
00:35:54 --> 00:36:02
			Change with your tongue. But definitely everybody can reject it cannot be numb. We cannot be
		
00:36:04 --> 00:36:04
			indifferent.
		
00:36:06 --> 00:36:46
			Just can know what I was looking for that word indifferent, because it didn't happen to me. No, no,
we can do that humanity. I am part of this humanity. I am part of this humanity as as I care. And
not as we all care about the earth. Everybody is talking about the green movement. We are talking
about the global warming all this we should. How do we care about that? And we don't care about a
human life, simply because he's not a monster. No, no, that's not my gene and yours. That's not
Bismillah R Rahman Rahim. That's, that's not so panela
		
00:36:47 --> 00:36:58
			barakallahu fakie brings us to the next question in sha Allah slightly related the definition of
equality so what is equality?
		
00:36:59 --> 00:37:04
			In Islam? How do we understand it as an objective of Islamic law?
		
00:37:06 --> 00:37:12
			Are all human beings and I think you kind of touched on this a little bit ago? Absolutely equal?
		
00:37:13 --> 00:37:17
			And if so, what is the measure of equality in Islam?
		
00:37:19 --> 00:37:20
			There's no this question. Sorry.
		
00:37:25 --> 00:37:28
			I'm gonna sound like a teenager This is not fair. No, I'm just kidding.
		
00:37:31 --> 00:38:10
			So May Allah subhanaw taala make me respond as much as I can Allah I always make this draft before I
speak your loss make me speak what pleases you your be me and Salaam Alaikum everybody was somebody
from Medina. Mashallah Tamara cola. We have somebody from Egypt. May Allah reward you all. Equality,
equality, look at the Quran. Look at the sooner and the sooner you start that's the title. Right?
Right. Just come to the Quran first. What the beautiful young beautiful bird that she recited in the
what's her name on this video? It's not my favorite thing my favorite woman
		
00:38:11 --> 00:38:16
			may Allah make her live on the footsteps of Seder Maria
		
00:38:17 --> 00:38:44
			so what is the last panel what Allah said that she recited the beautiful Maria yeah yohannes all
people in the Hala Kanaka we created you in the current one sir from a male and a female what you
have now come sure or when were other and we made you nations and tribes look at us here this this
group that now we are and if everybody look we're all different? Sure.
		
00:38:45 --> 00:39:03
			from different background we were born in different places we look different right? Why Allah why
this Lita? Awful A lot of people don't pay attention to this one. We emphasize on the next one which
is extremely important but number one Rita opusa you know each other
		
00:39:04 --> 00:39:10
			when I want to know you and you want to know me I don't look at you if I look down at you I don't
want to know you
		
00:39:11 --> 00:39:35
			so the main thing our differences is a way to bring us together is as a way to make us know each
other not to separate us again Allah said yeah oneness. He didn't say oh believe you when you read
the Quran look at our last pantalla address there is humanity are you oneness are these people
there's a I already know
		
00:39:36 --> 00:39:51
			there's different levels this one everybody Yeah, you oneness. We created you from the same source,
same source, know each other. Now who is better? And we don't look at that. We don't look at that.
Please forgive me.
		
00:39:52 --> 00:39:59
			And it's so clear. This idea is mahkamah This is so clear, there's no there's no like a different
opinion about it.
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:04
			In, indeed, a chronicle most honorable
		
00:40:06 --> 00:40:07
			in the sight of Allah at
		
00:40:09 --> 00:40:18
			the one with the highest piety, she or he black and white shorts and tall, beautiful, not very
beautiful at Aqua at
		
00:40:19 --> 00:40:29
			what more quality we you want? What's more equality you want? That's number one. Number two. Number
two, look at the punishment.
		
00:40:30 --> 00:40:34
			No, we don't want equality only in the good things, right?
		
00:40:35 --> 00:40:45
			Right. That was one time I said so if the woman does this, she will get double, and the man will get
one or if the man does this, he will get double and she will get one. No.
		
00:40:46 --> 00:41:01
			No, it didn't say Jen. Now this spot for women in this sport for men? Do we have any of this in the
Koran? No. And most of the address the way Allah addressed us in the Quran is by one
		
00:41:03 --> 00:41:15
			except very few times where he said, Amen Muslim, you know, one Muslim, I really believe Muslim men
was the woman, believing men believing woman, the quality. However,
		
00:41:16 --> 00:41:27
			and I do the long talk about this in the D show, I don't know if you have seen it, it's this is
about the feminism equality, it doesn't mean we are exactly the same.
		
00:41:28 --> 00:41:34
			And doesn't mean what Allah expect from us is exactly the same.
		
00:41:35 --> 00:41:44
			But we are we have the same right. And Allah will take us accountable, the same according to what he
gave us.
		
00:41:45 --> 00:42:09
			So I say this all the time when Allah taught me Arabic, without anything I was born, and I know how
to speak Arabic and I can read the Quran Will I be taken accountable? The same way that a person he
or she does not speak Arabic is struggling to read the Quran? Of course I am more. It's a privilege.
But I'm going to be asked.
		
00:42:10 --> 00:42:14
			So equality is we have the same right?
		
00:42:15 --> 00:42:25
			The fact we are all human beings, the expectation is different depends on where Allah put us and
what faculty or what he gave us.
		
00:42:28 --> 00:42:33
			Who do you want? What was your there was another question? Where is the second? So
		
00:42:34 --> 00:42:41
			the the first question was equality as an objective of Islamic law. So
		
00:42:44 --> 00:42:55
			and then the second question was, are all human beings absolutely equal, and in what sense, equal in
meaning, Allah created us the same.
		
00:42:57 --> 00:43:10
			We all have a brain, we all have hands, we all have. Kidney could be one could be but we all the way
Allah Hello corner is the same.
		
00:43:11 --> 00:43:28
			never happy Hema Rohini Allah said this in the Quran repeatedly, he he will, in that more in that
mud, the piece of mud, he blew his spirits last pantalla and we became human being the origin is the
same.
		
00:43:29 --> 00:43:41
			We are all the same. The expectation, or the punishment is the same in one act, for example,
exactly. The person who doesn't pray,
		
00:43:42 --> 00:43:56
			the punishment is the same. If that person he or she younger old, are equipped with everything Allah
gave them to perform Salah. And if they don't do it, then the punishment is the same.
		
00:43:58 --> 00:44:20
			So the expectation is it depends on what Allah gave us various things he gave everybody. I'll give
you another example that inshallah will make it. So the person who have a million dollar in his bank
account and of course you have $5 in their bank account. does Allah expect them to pay exactly the
same? No.
		
00:44:22 --> 00:44:25
			But there's a lot expect them to be generous.
		
00:44:27 --> 00:44:37
			will allow rewarded them for their generosity? Yes. So if the person who has million dollar donated
the whole million dollar
		
00:44:38 --> 00:44:52
			or actually let's put it the other way will be easier. The person who had million dollar donated
100,000 and the person who had five donated the five all are they the same? No.
		
00:44:54 --> 00:44:59
			So it's fair to say that the responsibility is the same but the account
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:17
			ability will be according to what you have been given by the last panel data. Exactly, exactly. I am
taking accountable by the sink, Allah gave me That's why if I am under anesthesia, Allah does not
expect me to pray.
		
00:45:18 --> 00:45:41
			And he will not take me accountable. Why I didn't pray. So everybody, Allah gave them something
similar, like you walk in the street and everyone has eyes has brain, almost everyone, then the
expectation is the same. But once this is not taken away, for some reason, or the other, the
expectation is different. And that's part of justice.
		
00:45:42 --> 00:46:03
			That's fine. So can we say a true sense of understanding of what equality is, leads us to the
flourishing of justice or for justice to be a norm and the way that we live in our societies? So if
we, if we have equality,
		
00:46:04 --> 00:46:09
			or if we understand equality properly, and
		
00:46:11 --> 00:46:37
			that would lead us to a sense of unity or a sense of justice in society? Yes. I'll give you an
example. And they usually, the best way to learn is by examples. This is somebody who I know when I
was living in Saudi, and you probably grew up in the yard, so you know this, some of people, I see
somebody from South Africa, Mashallah, this may be more
		
00:46:39 --> 00:46:47
			relevant. And I'm going to give it the same example. But on this stage, so here I am, I call the
handyman to come and help me.
		
00:46:48 --> 00:47:02
			Or I have a helper in the house to help me. And that example of the helper I loved it. So the woman
who hired in chose a woman, this woman, the woman who hired, the helper,
		
00:47:03 --> 00:47:07
			told her come and eat with me on the table.
		
00:47:09 --> 00:47:16
			And the helper absolutely refused. The woman looked at her and said, Listen, we are exactly the
same.
		
00:47:17 --> 00:47:28
			Allah gave you time. And he didn't give you money. Allah gave me money, but he didn't give me time.
We need each other. We are the same.
		
00:47:31 --> 00:47:41
			So when you get someone to help you in the house, right? plumber the gardener I'm not better I am
not better
		
00:47:42 --> 00:47:43
			I am
		
00:47:44 --> 00:47:53
			what was given something that person was not given. He was given or she was given something I didn't
we complement each other.
		
00:47:55 --> 00:47:56
			We need each other.
		
00:47:58 --> 00:48:00
			We complement each other
		
00:48:01 --> 00:48:07
			and there is always a beautiful area and I love it it's all sorted for on
		
00:48:08 --> 00:48:23
			almost pantalla says Roma are sending out public communal more Selena Isla in the Himalaya, who upon
way I'm sure I feel as well. Or Johanna Baba can revolve in pfitzner Atlas V rune, what kinda mooka
basura. This trans
		
00:48:24 --> 00:48:43
			allies, addressing roswaal, a salt or cinnamon, he said, We have never seen before you profit. But
they were walking human being walking on the street and eating food. Because they mocked him. They
mock the grocery store to send that what is this human being and he's claiming he's a prophet.
		
00:48:44 --> 00:48:54
			The point I'm trying to make here and he said Allah will Johanna ba, ba, ba, ba ba. at US Bureau, we
need each one of you to the other as a test.
		
00:48:56 --> 00:49:03
			Will you be sure patient? And if you read the commentary of the surah, it's this is sorted for on.
		
00:49:04 --> 00:49:05
			It is amazing.
		
00:49:06 --> 00:49:41
			Basically, what Allah is saying is, the rich person is a test to the poor. And the poor, is a test
to the rich. The educated test, the less educated. So the educated is a test for the less educated.
Why am I going to feel arrogant? I'm better because I studied because I graduate, because I have
this then I failed my test. And the less educated the educated person for him or her is also a test
will they be jealous?
		
00:49:42 --> 00:50:00
			That's a test. So we may have been given different things. But the expectation from us is the same
and different. If I am poor, Allah wants me to be patient. If I am rich, Allah wants me to be
grateful. He doesn't want me to be arrogant. What he wants
		
00:50:00 --> 00:50:01
			To be to be a complainer
		
00:50:03 --> 00:50:16
			look and I see this all the time may Allah spawn tada invited us again to MK k RB me personally in
hajj or in Ramadan, when you see the millions doing power off millions
		
00:50:17 --> 00:50:27
			and some CDs catch your heart when you see this and Allah always brings them in front of you, those
of you who have been there, you probably will feel it.
		
00:50:28 --> 00:50:31
			You see this like 19 year old Indian woman,
		
00:50:33 --> 00:50:37
			small tiny on the stick, Allah knows how she got there,
		
00:50:38 --> 00:50:41
			how long she has been saving the money, how she
		
00:50:42 --> 00:50:43
			why she's doing it.
		
00:50:45 --> 00:50:51
			And then you see the younger people, obviously more affluent you can feel it and the cost comes in,
		
00:50:53 --> 00:50:55
			in the sight of Allah
		
00:50:56 --> 00:50:57
			who is better?
		
00:50:59 --> 00:51:06
			Maybe you and I will not look at this. And I said Indian because they always come in a group and
they're so distinct.
		
00:51:07 --> 00:51:52
			So let us not use the things that Allah gave us without how without us have any power. Let us not
use it, to put us down in the Hellfire because of arrogance. On the contrary, let us have what let
us use what Allah gave us to be ahead of the game. And this if you allow me This reminds me of a
hadith of roswaal A salatu salam and the poor people came to Rasul Allah is Salatu was Salam. And he
said, you're you're assuming Allah, the meaning of it. Those who have money, they are better than us
because they are giving in charity.
		
00:51:53 --> 00:52:13
			And we don't have to give in charity, what should we do? And this hadith is always mentioned when
you talk about the virtues of Vic, of remembering Allah and the advice of somebody sought to sit on
was, you can be better than them by keep your tongue moist in remembrance of Allah.
		
00:52:14 --> 00:52:20
			They came back later on, and they said your sutra law. They are doing the same as we are doing.
		
00:52:21 --> 00:52:23
			And they have more money.
		
00:52:24 --> 00:52:45
			Look at how they compete. So Panama and not so lovely sorry to assume said dareka. For you to him
Asia. That's the place of Allah, He gives it to him. This reminds me of the ayah from so I think
Surah Taha welaka with the Nikah Ilana, matana zois, minimum xalatan hire to dounia.
		
00:52:46 --> 00:53:03
			ie, what is for a bigger hire over the last just two or three before the end of sort of pa don't
look Latin within Niantic, don't extend your vision, meaning don't keep looking at what we gave
others that we didn't give you.
		
00:53:04 --> 00:53:06
			It's not right, it could be attempt.
		
00:53:08 --> 00:53:23
			Exactly. Always look. And this is to myself before anyone. Everything Allah give you gave you or
everything Allah didn't give you. It's a mean for you and me to enter Jannah
		
00:53:24 --> 00:53:25
			you use it.
		
00:53:27 --> 00:53:29
			And could you be the other way around.
		
00:53:31 --> 00:53:32
			It could be the other way around.
		
00:53:33 --> 00:54:02
			It's just and this is a very beautiful parable and we'll teach you have the equality of a loss.
panatela lets us and this is the parable everybody is like a day. Every human being has 24 hours or
basic has 24 potions is like a day every day is the same every day has 24 hours. Monday is like
Tuesday, Tuesday like Wednesday, and they say every human being has 24 portions.
		
00:54:03 --> 00:54:05
			The portions differ.
		
00:54:06 --> 00:54:12
			So could be 10 off beauty. Five of children, three of education
		
00:54:13 --> 00:54:16
			and the other person have turned off education.
		
00:54:17 --> 00:54:19
			But the total is 24.
		
00:54:20 --> 00:54:21
			We are equal.
		
00:54:22 --> 00:54:31
			Don't look at the others. Look what Allah gave you and live with this word. Allah is Allah.
		
00:54:32 --> 00:54:44
			Allah is the capital T Allah is the just an Allah who have watched something. Allah loves those who
are who live by Justice.
		
00:54:45 --> 00:54:56
			So if I look at injustice, and I say it's not related to me, they are not Muslim. Then I do not
deserve the love of Allah spawn tada
		
00:54:57 --> 00:54:59
			who can afford this
		
00:55:00 --> 00:55:00
			So Panama
		
00:55:02 --> 00:55:06
			So Dr. Eva, some can say, you know, true justice is only going to be
		
00:55:08 --> 00:55:16
			for the hereafter and the assets right? What's the point of fighting for justice now? What's the
point of
		
00:55:18 --> 00:55:20
			trying to establish justice in this world?
		
00:55:21 --> 00:55:23
			Okay, what a question.
		
00:55:24 --> 00:55:25
			What a question
		
00:55:27 --> 00:55:29
			shavon has sometimes in this
		
00:55:31 --> 00:55:42
			it's a very tricky it's a very good question, by the way, and it's a very tricky question I'll
answer with another question. to happiness is in the athlete. What is the point of finding after
happiness and do me?
		
00:55:44 --> 00:55:46
			Sure, for sure.
		
00:55:47 --> 00:55:48
			Might.
		
00:55:50 --> 00:55:53
			A terminal life is an athlete, what is the point of living?
		
00:55:56 --> 00:56:09
			Not having it all. Doesn't mean don't have part of it. And this is when you study Islamic Studies.
They always remind you of this, man I used Roku Coronavirus, Roku Julio, if you cannot get it all
don't leave it all.
		
00:56:10 --> 00:56:20
			If I cannot get the 100% justice in this life, that's how Allah subhanho wa Taala wanted it. That
doesn't mean none. And it's not my business.
		
00:56:21 --> 00:56:27
			Justice has to be in your home. Actually, when justice I look at it is with yourself.
		
00:56:28 --> 00:56:54
			Laughter Cooney mean of what any letter could mean a body Don't be of the wrongdoers and one of the
translation of avoiding me is those who are unjust, don't be unjust. Don't be unjust with yourself.
by not giving yourself all the the ability, Allah gave you the ability, don't be unjust to yourself
by not using what Allah gave you to get to the best. And
		
00:56:55 --> 00:57:11
			don't be unjust to the people around you, children, spouse, family, parents, by always looking at
what you deserve, and what you need. And not looking at the others one of the most beautiful Hadith
that I love.
		
00:57:12 --> 00:57:19
			And I I asked Allah always to make me live this hadith before anyone is law, you may know how to
		
00:57:22 --> 00:57:22
			choose
		
00:57:24 --> 00:57:36
			hamdulillah hamdulillah you decriminalize left and now you know I had to come, no one will attain
the state, the status of real faith, Hector, you're heavily or he might have seen.
		
00:57:37 --> 00:58:04
			Unless you left your brother or sister what you love for yourself, I will do my best to practice
justice. Number one, I can give something I don't have it. I practice justice with me. With number
one, actually, if you allow me is with a last panel with Tyler and with me with a human being me,
myself, with the people around me, with the earth.
		
00:58:05 --> 00:58:29
			With everything around me, including animal and the earth. Yes, the result is not in my hand. That's
how Allah Subhana Allah always remind us, the result is not in my hand. The result in a loss hand.
Allah is not going to take me accountable. Why didn't you prevent the death of George Floyd is not
in my hand.
		
00:58:30 --> 00:58:34
			But he's going to ask me You're so injustice, what did you do about it?
		
00:58:36 --> 00:58:41
			So he wants the effort. He wants the action that result in his hand
		
00:58:43 --> 00:58:53
			from Allah untied, does that allow kind of, we're going to move inshallah to the next question. The
next question is a test care question your specialty
		
00:58:56 --> 00:59:06
			into the disease of the heart. arrogance, right, the satanic ideology that we have inherited from,
from unbelief. It is one of the tools of shape on
		
00:59:08 --> 00:59:15
			how does the last panatela talk about that? This is a reminder in sha Allah about arrogance in the
Quran, and how can we as individuals
		
00:59:17 --> 00:59:25
			know that we suffer from it? Are there symptoms that we should look out for and kind of start to
work on ourselves?
		
00:59:26 --> 00:59:59
			Another loaded question, sorry. So Alhamdulillah Blimey, the question is recovered in six weeks
course of test here last semester. My idea and as those for those of you who are interested in the
process of purification of the heart, how to live as a human being pure hamdullah we always offer
with gentle Institute, you can check it on our website, and we started every six or 12 weeks. So
just start this today was our second class of the summer class and we looked at what will
		
01:00:00 --> 01:00:02
			tarnish and make my heart sick.
		
01:00:03 --> 01:00:13
			And this is the second batch we covered and the first one, the last batch was actually arrogance.
Allah subhanaw taala definitely mentioned it in the origin
		
01:00:14 --> 01:00:40
			you got to sort it out off the height. Second speed in the top if you are following Mustafa Medina
Please forgive me. May Allah Allah forgive me I did not memorize the number of the ayat. I know the
I don't know the number and I highly advise everyone who is starting to memorize memorize the
numbers is really helpful. So our last panel which Allah has released the cursed faith on says
Merman aka lattice Judah is almost took
		
01:00:41 --> 01:00:47
			what prevented you from prostrating when I ordered? I need you to live the scenario.
		
01:00:48 --> 01:00:52
			This is a law the logistic Suhana
		
01:00:53 --> 01:00:58
			asking a creation of his beliefs he was an angel by the way
		
01:00:59 --> 01:01:11
			and he said and he said I'm not gonna prostate So Allah is asking him mom and a hacker what
prevented you from prostrating when I ordered you? The answer?
		
01:01:12 --> 01:01:14
			All I know how you mean?
		
01:01:15 --> 01:01:18
			I am better than him. Who's him? Adam?
		
01:01:19 --> 01:01:22
			Hello putting him in now the Hello.
		
01:01:23 --> 01:01:27
			You created on fire and you created him from clay.
		
01:01:29 --> 01:01:54
			So I am better. That's what he's telling Allah saying, I say find out why not me show you on I am
better. Because I am created from a different material and his wisdom and intelligence and I'm
putting putting this I'm being sarcastic. He decided that fire is better than clay.
		
01:01:56 --> 01:02:08
			And you can you can look at it and says well, fire is better than clay immediately Allah responded
and he used the word Cuba arrogance.
		
01:02:10 --> 01:02:21
			Get out of it. Meaning from Jana is that dialogue wasn't genuine Maya punakha antisaccade Bahia
somehow can not to be arrogant in it meaning in Jana,
		
01:02:23 --> 01:02:25
			Leia, hello Jana Montana.
		
01:02:28 --> 01:02:45
			No one will enter Paradise. They have even the atomweight of arrogance. And the other example of
arrogance of a human being a Washoe just sort of castles. Stories, the story of our own
		
01:02:47 --> 01:03:04
			greed. Absolute arrogance she was extremely rich, rich, Allah gave Allah describes his richness that
the keys to his treasures a group of huge group of men cannot carry the keys. So imagine how much
money
		
01:03:05 --> 01:03:15
			and people were advising him Jambi arrogance Latifah? Don't be so good. I don't like those are
boosts his answer.
		
01:03:17 --> 01:03:18
			palette with teachable Allah
		
01:03:20 --> 01:03:27
			I it's me, I did it. I have it. I earned it. Because of my knowledge.
		
01:03:29 --> 01:04:02
			Statement of arrogance. I did it. I studied. I raised them up. I made the money. All of this and
Allah immediately respond theme iron in the office. And he said, I will. I will endure lm and Allah.
Allah can probably not only men who are assured during who can walk through jamaa Doesn't he know
that Allah subhanaw taala have destroyed before him, people who are much richer than him, and much
stronger.
		
01:04:04 --> 01:04:09
			arrogance is the feeding me that I am better than
		
01:04:11 --> 01:04:30
			because of the way I look, the way I speak, where I come from, which college I graduate, what's my
bank account, how much where I live, what car I drive, how many children I have any of these things
that I have no control over only by the grace of God.
		
01:04:31 --> 01:04:35
			And the more arrogant I am, a lot will punish me.
		
01:04:36 --> 01:04:43
			With not I am being arrogant lizard, and He will punish me through it. So Panama
		
01:04:44 --> 01:04:45
			Panama.
		
01:04:46 --> 01:04:55
			It's so interesting though. The connection between the punishments of bottle on sea was swallowed by
the earth and then
		
01:04:57 --> 01:04:59
			lachemann Ali Salaam when he was advising his son
		
01:05:00 --> 01:05:10
			He said to him well that touchy feely ugly mana hat right he he's telling him not to walk on the
earth with with the attitude of arrogance right
		
01:05:11 --> 01:05:18
			as if the earth doesn't doesn't like that right the earth is not it's not something that
		
01:05:19 --> 01:05:21
			you know response to arrogance very well
		
01:05:23 --> 01:05:25

able to reach the height of the mountain. how small we are in front of the mountain.
		
01:06:35 --> 01:06:41
			You know what's the best way if you allow me to kill our arrogance?
		
01:06:42 --> 01:06:50
			Go serve others who are who you think are better than you or lower than you. Right? That's
definitely a go and visit the graveyard
		
01:06:52 --> 01:06:55
			or watch a video of someone being buried.
		
01:06:56 --> 01:07:00
			This is you and me. Allah knows when

01:07:32 --> 01:07:33
			People
		
01:07:34 --> 01:07:48

comprehend FLIR tuffa Corona how many people you have seen so smart, so successful and up with
Alzheimer?
		
01:07:50 --> 01:08:06
			You have seen it I'm sure everybody listening to me have seen it became a member Dr. Alicia, Panama.
So he or she will know nothing after they knew everything. All the power people have power and then
Allah take it in a minute.
		
01:08:08 --> 01:08:27
			The more I look around me and reflect on what is happening around me, I found out that what I have
so temporarily and in a minute, Allah can take it in a minute and he showed us clearly with the
COVID-19 I don't know how many of us have learned
		
01:08:29 --> 01:08:41
			how powerless how insignificant we are as a human being a virus that we didn't we couldn't see we
don't know where it came from. We don't know how it works

01:08:53 --> 01:08:55
			what is this wall boost for NASA
		
01:08:56 --> 01:09:15
			What is this all arrogance about this is a lot of lessons came from COVID to us as Muslims this is
one of them. We have no power we are powerless whatever we think we have we don't have it can be
taken from us very quickly very soon. Pamela
		
01:09:18 --> 01:09:19
			does that color here on
		
01:09:21 --> 01:09:31
			the next question is this is the last one it is we have two more but I think for time sake we'll
just do one more inshallah Tyler
		
01:09:33 --> 01:09:33
			for the
		
01:09:35 --> 01:09:51
			Sala so you know panela Islam came to better the conditions of the human being to remind them of
their origins to remind them of their purpose and to
		
01:09:52 --> 01:09:56
			hopefully get them on the right track to gender
		
01:09:57 --> 01:09:59
			and in the situation.
		
01:10:00 --> 01:10:10
			Islam can be seen as the solution to anything like you said in the beginning of the talk that Islam
has the solution to all of life's life's problems.
		
01:10:12 --> 01:10:26
			And what are some practical tips that you can give us to kind of help us with this disease of the
heart arrogance and racism on the individual level.
		
01:10:27 --> 01:10:34
			And I think you kind of mentioned that a little bit about, you know, going to visit a graveyard, or
watching a video.
		
01:10:35 --> 01:10:45
			But if you have other tips in sha Allah for the individual level, and then within the Muslim
community, and generally in society,
		
01:10:46 --> 01:10:59
			individual level is, I think, the most important one, when I think of it as an individual, practice
it as an individual, then it becomes a habit. And then it becomes the norm.
		
01:11:00 --> 01:11:19
			When I look at myself, when I get the flu, and I always have to give examples from physicians, being
a physician, this is my life story. So a flu makes me three or four days in bed, I'm not talking
about the COVID flu, everybody have been, everybody has it. Right?
		
01:11:20 --> 01:11:25
			And a small flu, take all the power from me how powerful I am.
		
01:11:27 --> 01:11:34
			Number one, number one, if we want to take practical steps to overcome arrogance,
		
01:11:36 --> 01:11:37
			and prejudice.
		
01:11:38 --> 01:12:00
			Number one, an absolutely astounding to remove it completely, completely enough that the first was
in the first person who called and then it's one of the symbols of Allah, and the only one who went
on the top of the Kaaba and called for Allah subhanaw taala was a black slave.
		
01:12:01 --> 01:12:14
			What else? So come practicality. always remind yourself? Where did you come from? look at pictures
of your cell phone your baby. Yeah, you're very cute, I'm sure.
		
01:12:16 --> 01:12:19
			But what did? What did you know at that time?
		
01:12:21 --> 01:12:30
			Always look at the people who are older than you. Look at the people who are older than you, meaning
70s and 80s. How frail they are?
		
01:12:32 --> 01:12:36
			How frail one of the one of the pictures. That's always
		
01:12:38 --> 01:13:04
			I use it to remind myself and most of the people are familiar is Muhammad Ali. May Allah subhanaw
taala bless his soul. Why? The famous, the famous man, the boxer who fought fought against
injustice, and he was extremely strong. And how at the end of his life, he had Parkinson and he
became so weak.
		
01:13:06 --> 01:13:07
			Doesn't that enough?
		
01:13:09 --> 01:13:21
			Allah Subhana Allah I the way I look at it, Allah, Allah is giving him even more ability for
rewards. Because when Allah test us with this, it's a way of reward for us. But for me, when I look
at it, what do I learn?
		
01:13:22 --> 01:13:28
			That whatsoever strength and power and fame is not going to be forever.
		
01:13:29 --> 01:13:31
			At one point it's going to be gone.
		
01:13:32 --> 01:14:09
			And Allah subhanho wa Taala said that this beautiful iron sword for men can read it Riedel is for
the laser to Jamia. You want dignity. You want to honor the only one who has his own law. The more I
am humble to Allah, the more Allah will elevate me Allah Swati salatu salam said that meant awaba
Allah, Zara, Hello halifa. home so ever become more humble. For the sake of Allah, Allah will make
him more honorable. Don't look for honor.
		
01:14:10 --> 01:14:13
			Look for the pleasure of Allah, He will give it to you is good.
		
01:14:14 --> 01:14:32
			Don't look at things material that is temporary. To look at your value, because these can be taken
very quickly. And we look at with what we first started my value. And your value is by the fact that
I'm a human being
		
01:14:33 --> 01:14:47
			and my value and your value in the sight of Allah pantalla is I am a human being Yes. Who is more
conscious of Allah pantalla. That's the equation. That's the platform Islam put.
		
01:14:48 --> 01:14:56
			In contrary, if you see what Allah said about wealth and children, what did he say? He no matter
monokuma oladipo says
		
01:14:57 --> 01:14:58
			it's a test
		
01:15:00 --> 01:15:11
			Yeah inika theorem in our as logical, more logical, more local, a lot of your spouse's and your
children are like an an enemy to you.
		
01:15:12 --> 01:15:20
			So the more and I this is I will advise everybody, myself included, is spend time alone
		
01:15:21 --> 01:15:25
			with yourself to reflect on all these things.
		
01:15:26 --> 01:15:39
			Sometimes I look I have cats in the house and sometimes I look at the cat and one of the eye level,
I really mean this. And I say I'm jealous from you, you have nothing to answer to Allah wanted
		
01:15:41 --> 01:15:42
			nothing.
		
01:15:44 --> 01:15:56
			I have a long list to answer Allah pantile What is it? What am I arrogant about? What am I arrogant
about? Right? Over shaitan Alba, remember this Hadeeth
		
01:15:58 --> 01:16:06
			there is mn could be a man a shot on elbow shot meaning he is not very clean and tidy.
		
01:16:07 --> 01:16:15
			Oh but full of dust. Not very, the hair is not calmed, which basically means you are new and not
look at him or her, then nothing.
		
01:16:19 --> 01:16:33
			That he said could be that person. Be the XML Allah about what if he had made to an oath meaning if
he looks at the line says you're a law, you are going to give me this Allah will give him
		
01:16:34 --> 01:16:39
			because of the status with a lot pantile not because of the way he look.
		
01:16:40 --> 01:16:45
			Let us not put people in categories based on the external.
		
01:16:48 --> 01:16:57
			Again, the color of their face, the degree the money, where they come from, what language they have
accent, they don't have accent, don't do that.
		
01:16:58 --> 01:17:09
			And when people talk about racism, and I'm gonna say this, and I'm sure a lot will, will agree with
me and if you disagree with me, I fully do respect.
		
01:17:11 --> 01:17:13
			There's a lot of racism in our Muslim community.
		
01:17:15 --> 01:17:19
			In our massage, in domestic when we enter the masjid,
		
01:17:21 --> 01:17:23
			we need to work on this. There's racism in our homes.
		
01:17:25 --> 01:17:26
			between spouses.
		
01:17:27 --> 01:17:39
			I am better than you this the man or the woman. I graduated from this cousins when you see them
talking. That's racism. This is all racism. It's not racism is only your race.
		
01:17:41 --> 01:17:50
			But it's employment because everything. cousins I go to this private school you go to public school.
That's racism. That's arrogance.
		
01:17:52 --> 01:18:07
			We need to tackle this from that age. From that age tackle it so that we will have a society that
looks at everybody not by what they have, but what they give and what they add to this life.
		
01:18:10 --> 01:18:17
			span Allah Yanni, you asked very tough questions. It's tough, not tough, it means it's reality.
		
01:18:19 --> 01:18:22
			sad reality but it's reality.
		
01:18:23 --> 01:18:26
			Allah Subhana Allah, I could talk to you forever
		
01:18:28 --> 01:18:43
			does that allow fire on for this amazing conversation I pray that Allah Subhana Allah allows us to
benefit from from the knowledge of Mila and I pray that everybody has my cat is this wants to come
in
		
01:18:45 --> 01:18:47
			I'm coming I'm coming.
		
01:18:48 --> 01:19:07
			I pray that Allah Subhana Allah allow us to benefit from the knowledge and use it in the way that it
was meant to be used. I don't think we have any questions so far. But if you have any questions
please go ahead and type them in so that we can get to them um
		
01:19:11 --> 01:19:31
			there is one comment I'm gonna read it because I see it okay. Says before looking what others have,
are we even thankful for what las pantalla has given us show to show to work illuminate the idea
Shaku very few of my servants Allah said this, it since what sub?
		
01:19:32 --> 01:19:42
			Very few of my servants are grateful and grateful because when this is why we are ungrateful, I
think because we categorize
		
01:19:43 --> 01:19:49
			blessings into very few things. If I always do this, if I am going to make
		
01:19:50 --> 01:19:59
			a question and I say, enumerate or give me 10 blessings immediately is going to come to my mind
humbler? You know what, I have education. I have money. I have children.
		
01:20:00 --> 01:20:06
			In all this very rarely somebody will come and say 100 Langer bland I mean I have an eye I can see
		
01:20:08 --> 01:20:21

with the highest level of paradise for your time with us today. So shall what is the conclusion? I
don't know if you see any more questions, I don't see what we can conclude if we don't have any more
questions. There was oh, this is a question because I know there was a question. I'm gonna put this
question on the screen.
		
01:22:50 --> 01:22:58
			Maybe run out if you can put it on the screen. The question is very nice. It says When will I get
out of my parents oppression?
		
01:23:02 --> 01:23:03
			That's injustice.
		
01:23:05 --> 01:23:08
			My mother says just to Mati
		
01:23:11 --> 01:23:19
			how Allah Subhana lawmaker do heart for this beautiful sister or brother? I don't know. It's the
title of this talk for a while of the day diagnose
		
01:23:20 --> 01:23:29
			injustice, yes, injustice, one of the injustice. We we do as parents, our children.
		
01:23:30 --> 01:23:46
			We love boys more than girls. We love one girl more than the other because she's prettier or she's
smarter. Spent a lot we love the older because he's the older or we love the younger because he's
younger. We love them more. I can't tell you how many of these questions I get.
		
01:23:47 --> 01:24:00
			I'm going to start by with a loss. pantalla says clearance I have no choice. Other mukalla taboo
last year for the winding sun. Allah, this is assault to the Surat
		
01:24:01 --> 01:24:04
			Allah have decreed that we do not wash it but him
		
01:24:05 --> 01:24:07
			an excellent treatment to parents.
		
01:24:09 --> 01:24:20
			I am not going to be asked about the oppression My parents are doing. They will be asked and they
will need to have a good answer. I will be asked how did I treat my parents?
		
01:24:21 --> 01:24:32
			So always this is the principal. I noticed very difficult, my good brother or sister. But if you
focus on Allah, and you focus on your hero,
		
01:24:33 --> 01:24:43
			you want your reward from Allah spawn Tada. Your reward from Allah pantalla is by treating your
parents with excellence. Yes.
		
01:24:44 --> 01:24:44
			Yes.
		
01:24:46 --> 01:24:52
			You know that's a that's a very touchy subject, but there is a fine line between
		
01:24:53 --> 01:24:59
			taking injustice and abuse. So you kind of like define define that
		
01:25:00 --> 01:25:03
			For those who are about to say, Hello,
		
01:25:05 --> 01:25:09
			because I was about to say, you need to define what is oppression.
		
01:25:10 --> 01:25:18
			Because the way we define things these days, things becomes so mixed up.
		
01:25:20 --> 01:25:28
			fall right from wrong became mixed up, meaning a parent disciplining their child is called abuse.
		
01:25:31 --> 01:25:33
			Well, this could be an abuse, but could be not an abused.
		
01:25:34 --> 01:26:09
			So if you want to discipline your child, but not by hitting them hard, that's not an abuse, you're
disciplining your child. But if I am beating my child, or regardless what he or she did, that's
oppression, and that's an abuse. So the first thing, because we have to be also fear, remember, we
kept repeatedly saying in this that we need to be fair, I just, I don't look at it from my lens,
only I have to look at it from the lens of the parents also. Have I seen parents being very unjust?
Yes.
		
01:26:10 --> 01:26:22
			Have I seen abusive parents? Yes. Have I seen children who are very ungrateful to parents, where do
I start, especially in age,
		
01:26:24 --> 01:26:46
			when when things has changed, so if it is a truly oppression, truly oppression, number one, no one
will remove it, but Allah pantalla correct your relationship with a law, that you will be that
person that I mentioned earlier, when he turned to Allah and Allah will respond immediately.
		
01:26:47 --> 01:26:50
			Have a credit with Allah, I always say this,
		
01:26:51 --> 01:27:13
			have a high credit with Allah, your credit score, let's be very high with Allah. So when I turned to
an SS, your law, I can take this injustice, please get me out of it. He will give it to you right
away. And three, patient and patient and patient in my office sobre una as long as
		
01:27:14 --> 01:27:40
			those who are patient will be rewarded and accounted for. It doesn't mean you're not going to try to
change it, it's not going to mean you're going to take all the means to change it. That's where you
have to get someone else outside the family to talk to them, look at it and say it is talk to them
and see, do your best, just so many things, and make up for your parents. That Allah subhanho wa
Taala guide them
		
01:27:42 --> 01:27:44
			to be just because they will be asked for it.
		
01:27:46 --> 01:27:55
			May Allah protect to your loss final law? I mean, I mean, you know, there is another question here.
And we may need some clarification.
		
01:27:57 --> 01:28:07
			You talked about justice earlier and justice in the home, and justice in your everyday life. How do
we value justice and respect and love? in the home?
		
01:28:10 --> 01:28:29
			in the home? That's a general question. So home spouses, the home mother with the children, home,
children with appearance, I don't know which lens. This question was asked or which hat the
questioner is wearing. Let's cover it. Let's cover it all.
		
01:28:30 --> 01:28:33
			Justice. Number one in the house mean respect.
		
01:28:35 --> 01:29:06
			Don't look down at people that what we have been talking for an hour. If they are young, they need
to be respected. If they are old, they need to be respected. If they are a special need, they need
to be respected. If they are parents, they need to be respected. grandparents. The first line or the
first block you're going to put for justice is respect. Don't belittle people. Don't belittle when
your child come and ask you. silly question. Don't be
		
01:29:08 --> 01:29:18
			uncommon write a lot about a kicky elephant. Do not belittle people. It's a very cynic. What is this
silly question? Don't do that.
		
01:29:19 --> 01:29:22
			Just is already gone. Because you belittle them.
		
01:29:24 --> 01:29:30
			If they come and tell you this is could be a very silly question. Your answer should be there is
nothing it's called silly question.
		
01:29:33 --> 01:29:38
			So treat them was treat them as equal, but different level of life.
		
01:29:39 --> 01:29:42
			Everyone deserve respect and love.
		
01:29:44 --> 01:29:51
			But love, not unconditional. regardless what they do love accordingly.
		
01:29:54 --> 01:29:59
			And if you respect your husband and your husband respect you or you respect your wife
		
01:30:00 --> 01:30:20
			And your wife respect you, regardless of the differences you have in public meaning public in the
house. That's the first, justice and respect you put in the house. You taught the children by
action, that whatever they do, they do not deserve to be humiliated.
		
01:30:23 --> 01:30:25
			How much we disobey Allah?
		
01:30:26 --> 01:30:27
			Answer me, everybody.
		
01:30:29 --> 01:30:35
			And he still doesn't humiliate us. And he still dignify us. And he still give us
		
01:30:38 --> 01:30:39
			How about between each other
		
01:30:41 --> 01:30:51
			puts the plant and the rule. You know, there is red lines in every home. The first red line I say,
is respect.
		
01:30:53 --> 01:31:04
			Listen to them, especially specially I'm talking now to parents. Listen to them. Don't belittle
their ideas. I've seen parents, their children is very
		
01:31:05 --> 01:31:12
			enthusiastic about serving the earth and the green movement. They they make fun of them. Why?
		
01:31:14 --> 01:31:16
			It's an Islamic concept. So I'm
		
01:31:18 --> 01:31:23
			going to tell you they're not practicing. This may be the way you bring them to Islam.
		
01:31:25 --> 01:31:26
			Well, she doesn't pray.
		
01:31:27 --> 01:31:35
			She doesn't pray she is disobedient to our Lord. He's doesn't praise this obedient to Allah, but
that does not justify me, humiliating them.
		
01:31:38 --> 01:31:53
			This the respect, the love and the respect is the foundation for justice and everyone deserves to be
listened and to be taught everyone in a different way. According who these people are.
		
01:31:55 --> 01:32:00

principles of equality and justice according to the teachings of Allah subhana wa Tada. And what Dr.
