So many people,
so many students
are asking and they ask me
about,
the ruling and,
the Islamic
viewpoint
regarding,
the incumbents
that is taking place
in many
universities
all over the world and here in the
UK.
We need to know that,
in any,
in any state,
in any country, even from an Islamic perspective,
an Islamic state, or a caliphate, or an
Islamic system.
There has to be a balance of powers.
What do I mean by that?
I mean that,
okay, there is the administration
of the
government,
or the government of the state,
and there are there are there is the
judiciary,
there is also the execution,
yeah? And they say that the and the
legislation. These are the 3 main components
in a modern state. From an Islamic perspective,
this matter has some flexibility.
Allah also my dear brothers and sisters says,
all you who believe,
stand
for justice.
Establish
justice. Therefore,
if Muslims
feel
that
there is
a local or
a global injustice,
they should be among the first people to
stop
that injustice.
All know that the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
in,
in Mecca,
although
the Meccan
environment, the Meccan system
was not Islamic,
but he stood up with justice and there
were there is helpful football and there are
a few other incidents where the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wasallam
stood,
or took certain
stances in order to establish
justice.
Injustice
that is taking place
in Gaza is,
you can say it is the biggest
global
injustice
that took place
maybe after the 2nd World War. Now so
many people are marching,
to stop that injustice,
Muslims and non Muslims,
all over the world.
Now the peak of this these diminished
rations took place by students
in,
America and in some other
places. It is very unfortunate.
It is really very sad
to see that,
countries like the US
and some other countries, especially the US who
always claim
that they want to,
to to to preserve, and they want to
the champions of human rights and freedom of
speech, and they are acting
against those values. Our students here in the
UK,
they started to also
to support the cause of those students, which
is what? Which is to support
to support or to stand to stand against
the injustice that is taking place
in Gaza,
yeah,
in Palestine.
So they started to
demonstrate in the universities
to have vigils.
They started the incumbents
as well.
So,
as far as I know, most of the
universities
in the UK are dealing
with them according to
maybe the rule of law.
There were some reports that some of those
students were not allowed to
go out to the university,
and some of them even, they were not
allowed
to, if they go out, they cannot
come back.
There were reports that they are unable to
provide
those students
in campers,
food,
and and they are unable to provide them
with other necessities.
Those students, whether Muslims or non Muslims,
the least to say
about them that they are courageous.
They are standing for the values
that they have been taught in university,
which is what? In university
and outside
the university.
Sisters, those students,
they are the teachers. They are our teachers.
They are the teachers
maybe of the whole world. In fact, they
have understood, from my perspective,
they have understood
the purpose of
university
education.
That the purpose of university
the purpose of university education
is not to fill your
mind with information
that are not useful.
The purpose of university
education
is stand for human rights,
stand for justice,
stand for fairness,
to sacrifice,
to stop injustice.
This world that we wanted to be a
better world
for all of us students, but they they
really need to be saluted.
Now from an Islamic perspective, we have mentioned
that the prophet
said, aid your brother whether he is an
oppressor
or he is an oppressed.
If he's an oppressor, we need to stop
his oppression.
If he is oppressed, we need to support
him.
We need to support those students,
of course, in a legal way.
Okay? And, Inshallah, they are not breaking
the law. We need to support them by
all means. We need to support them politically,
my dear brothers and sisters. We need to
support them,
by talking about on the media. In the
media, the big celebrities, they should speak about
about them. They should send messages of support.
I am here sending a message of support.
I will try to visit them, Insha'Allah,
if they if that is okay with them.
We need, to support them from an economic
from financial perspective.
Muslim students should be also in the forefront
of that.
Brothers and sisters, some Muslim students, some,
some Muslims, they are saying that
demonstrations
did not take place during the time of
the prophet
Who said to you brothers?
Who said to you that demonstrations,
yeah,
should be they are
among the listed Ibadat.
They are like the salah, sayam,
and,
zakah Sadaqa Hajj, that
we cannot do it unless it was done
by the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
Who told you
that there are an act of Ibadah?
Ibadah, we always say that there are 2
types of Ibadah. Listed Ibadah,
yes. We should take it directly from the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
and the Sahaba, etcetera.
But there are none listed Ibadad
where there is
flexibility
in doing them as far as they are
under certain
guidelines,
which is not committing,
any harm, not committing any
not harming others.
No one, yeah, should say that unless the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam demonstrated,
we should demonstrate. If the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam and the companions did not demonstrate, we
should not demonstrate.
This is madness, and there is no proof
for that. There is no Dalil for that.
