			that is those who are wrongdoers
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:38
			with our program
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:45
			by
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:46
			the
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:49
			way
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:15
			To read
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:19
			in the book,
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:18
			they got
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:19
			a lot of
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:32
			cases, greetings to all of
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:36
			the honorable hosts the
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:42
			establishment and many amazing maintainers of this wonderful
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:48
			Center, which is one of the most impressive
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:51
			have been in myself
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:54
			a long time it is so good
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:02
			to be here, bless you, and all that you do.
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:10
			And they are coming together story so much good and useful benefit.
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:20
			How justice is the other religion is, of course, like most of the system can be
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:23
			in many different ways.
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:28
			I'd like to just make a few points
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:36
			from a particular perspective. And then we'll move on to listen to the
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:39
			show.
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:44
			The first time I'd like to make is that is
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:48
			the foundation
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:52
			the attitude is learned
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:55
			should have other
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:05
			other states does not create a situation where the
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:08
			director decided
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:14
			and hence the only way that the patient
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:20
			will not be reconciled with
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:30
			his true antagonists. So we mentioned earlier this, this day, a lot of times are
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:39
			on an idealistic refuge with the love of your closest being in the window. One last thought on
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:43
			that we'll go with
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:54
			that very good believers the most
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:13
			whether they just had one of our business operation, and the sometimes mistaken for an issue of
growing your time here and zero anymore, man.
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:20
			Anyone who believes in God, so that was
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:21
			a
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:27
			very warm
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:36
			keynote here on the show they re meaning they're eligible for paradise.
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:49
			They don't have to worry about your health, or the grief and the torment that accompanies that. Now
they want to be associated with this first, but what is among the
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:55
			most the most is that other members of other
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:59
			particular circumstances can
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:05
			Video paradise. So there is no
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:34
			in terms of diversity and granting people paradise, as you said, it's the basis for a special type
of relationship that was generally very rare in the modern world, and that is relationships built on
tolerance and mutual respect, this is an enduring characteristic of insanity.
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:36
			sensitivity
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:50
			is providing the basis as you said, For by recognizing that and by recognizing that others can have
an incentive decided to die
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:55
			for a miserable and good relationship
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:03
			V and V defenses that those relationships they should be
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:08
			a dialogue as an assumption, and not
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:10
			so
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:18
			much mind default, but how to use local approach to issue
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:22
			what
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:24
			is
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:30
			called the local wisdom and beautiful.
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:36
			The best
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:44
			breakdown in communication besides zoning is screaming, it's not time to call it
		
00:11:45 --> 00:12:16
			is time to just acknowledge that there's a certain point where apparently this person won't be able
to just remain silent, who was he me Are you in your way and for me is mine. So, this is from the
beauty of the design, then incumbent upon us as Muslims to learn in the modern world, because these
are the games that have helped to facilitate
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:36
			the discussion a situation where the pre modern condition of war and conflict as a norm between the
people has been plagued by the modern condition where conflict between people
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:42
			is the exception, but there are people who would like
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:46
			to because they have a lesson
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:51
			in common thing they benefit from conflict
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:58
			from people as often as most of this appropriate
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:05
			we have these what he calls the whatever your what do you what is the
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:10
			one
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:12
			who does
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:21
			not have the visual not as a theologian, philosophers,
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:28
			but preachers, but as an as my community to
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:30
			provide
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:32
			a
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:36
			nice relation with others
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:43
			than overhead in terms of how to do less
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:48
			than a year
		
00:13:55 --> 00:14:09
			over it, there's no motion is a Celtic history. Of course conversion is unacceptable that would be
why because to clearly distinguish
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:12
			jazz
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:17
			to become
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:19
			so comfortable to
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:27
			clearly distinguish from parents so that you can know
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:50
			if this is the lights off in this room, and it's totally died. Then we turn the light on and we can
see each other you can see the beautiful woodwork that is doable carving that fear and the beautiful
faces of the beautiful people. We don't need anyone don't force us to do economics
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:55
			itself.
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:59
			So we know we do
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:10
			To be forced to accept this religion, because religion is the truth that is that it speaks for
itself. But
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:13
			in accepting what will happen
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:16
			when
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:20
			the truth is come, your boy, whoever please we
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:34
			go. Again, this provides a basis and it provides a set of principles for us to deal with each other
in this
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:36
			fashion,
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:45
			peaceful coexistence because there is no basis for me as a Muslim, for you to become
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:53
			doing the kind of the political faction of the time going toe to
		
00:15:55 --> 00:15:57
			toe overwhelmingly Joe
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:00
			mentioned this morning
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:10
			for the Constitution, and most of the eager to reach 50% 500 years in Syria,
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:29
			never had a majority in the Indian subcontinent, even though they have control better when they go
to school to become a military might have to do that. Muslims again, and now most of the suffering
because of that, because now they're
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:37
			lost political power and immediate, persecuted the same thing in the Boston
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:40
			bombing of Serbia, and those
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:42
			are the
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:45
			century and the
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:54
			military mindset very easily for people become, but they set up a system of poverty.
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:59
			And then communities now fulfill community goals.
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:10
			And if you don't know that the Ottoman political power has passed Muslim minority identity saw both
in the early
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:18
			1990s they were persecuted in a very brutal and inhumane way.
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:20
			But
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:32
			that is a consequence of the approach that Muslims have towards other faiths. So we we call,
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:38
			to discuss we call people to respect and consider what we have.
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:44
			Like the way you
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:49
			used to come with the
		
00:17:57 --> 00:17:58
			data
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:11
			with you. So put all the pieces of the book come to a common word between us and be
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:19
			talking to them. And we know some of us don't pick up
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:21
			other than if
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:24
			they turn away.
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:25
			And
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:28
			they're one
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:30
			of those.
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:35
			So if they turn away, take them off.
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:48
			Bear with me, as he goes, to die. So these are the approaches,
		
00:18:49 --> 00:19:34
			again, is important because they COVID they are should cultivate in the most absurd mentality, a
circle hosted by a certain approach to relations with others. And that approach is an approach that
is conducive to not only the perpetuation of the great advantages that humans collectively have made
in terms of tolerating each other in terms of establishing pluralistic society, but also to build on
as you know, professionals and just remove the underlying causes that threaten the erosion, and even
possibly the elimination of
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:52
			such as wasted. So there's a principle that encourages cooperation. But it's another thing to have a
set of beliefs that undermine and remove the possible sources of
		
00:19:53 --> 00:20:00
			causes that will render your printable infested. So in turn caused this
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:13
			mutually respected causes mutual cooperation and call to this mutual talent. But it also calls for
the elimination of racism. For example
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:21
			No, come
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:24
			over
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:26
			here
