Again,
it's not the connect.
Because of the wires that's not connected. What
happens?
Support. You know, so some give us this.
You
know,
this is a shot that we should be
touching her,
connected.
So this is the thing. You see, we
connect with all those who are. We connect
together as a collective.
And as a collective, we connect it.
My beloved brothers in Islam,
Everything at this time in the creation
is perfectly connected with all this.
If you had trees in your yard,
they probably would have noticed it at this
time of the day.
The birds, you see, are singing the phrasing
all the small
without chirping
and doing the the sound. That is not
just a chirping. That is
Allah
has taught every creation its and
its mode of salat.
And everything in this creation is actually aligned
with that pattern of life.
It's created for that.
The trees
are hemming the praises of the lizard one
by the birds of the
fish in the sea, the mountains,
skies,
universes.
They're all in
in their orbit.
They're all in their orbit,
moving according to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala's Taqleer
and all of them in their own mode
of praising him.
And this human being was created to be
the pinnacle of that.
However,
this human being with that capability, he also
has the capability the worst of the equation.
Allah
has created this human being in the best
of forms, in the best of capabilities,
the best of talents, and the best of
resources
so that he could be the best in
the expression of
the. However,
however,
that's his choice.
If he chooses to do so, then that
is his position in this world.
If he chooses otherwise,
if his eyes come down from the sky
and come down to the earth, come unto
him on his body's
desires, wishes,
the status quo, the fashion, the trend. Then
rather than being of that position, Allah
lowers him to the lowest of the law.
In this world at the time of death,
in grave, Hashem, Hashem,
and ultimately
in general.
So Allah
has actually created this human being for this
and Allah
has given this human being an intelligence that
he hasn't given to any other of the
creation.
And this intelligence was not given to the
human being primarily so that he can split
the atoms so that he
can explore the the depths of the sea,
that he can go to Mars and collect
a few rocks and come back in,
Spending 1,000,000 and 1,000,000,000 of dollars.
No doubt.
That is also sign of Allah has given
men the ability to do these things, you
see. This is not the primary purpose for
which Allah has given us this.
Has given us his so that
so that
with this aqal,
we ponder over the creation. We understand the
creation.
The signs of Allah's creation point to his
oneness, to his greatness, to his sifat and
his Isma'a
Every single creation of this universe,
within it are the signs of oneness,
It's greatness.
It's kudrat. It's rahmat. But we live in
the hafala.
Eyes in front of us on the ground,
you see.
Our eyes are supposed to be tuned in
to Allah's
creation,
pointing us to Allah's greatness. And with the
greatness and the niyamat's coming from Allah's to
us every moment, every second of our existence.
For this, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
accept to be continuously,
consistently attentive to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
recognizing Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala's greatness, recognizing Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala's and
then submitting
appropriate.
Islam. What does it mean Islam?
We take this word very
very likely.
What's the religion of Islam?
What does it mean Islam?
Islam,
religion. It's
not religion,
it's not a philosophy.
It's not,
you know,
a
they say Islam is is a way of
life. Actually, way of life is the outcome
of Islam. Islam the essence of Islam is
submission.
Submit.
You know if somebody if there's a thief
pulls off a bank robbery. Yeah.
He's
taking off down the road.
So police car, you know, in Pakistan you
have these big
4 by 4 vans and they have, you
know, 50 caliber machine guns mounted on
top. And then you got about 4 or
5 policemen with AK 40 sevens. You know?
So imagine this this thief now. He's just
robbed the bank. He's running down the street,
and all of a sudden, this 4 by
4 pulls up. 50 caliber machine gun pulling
in his head and AK 4745.
Same thing from the right, left, front and
the helicopter comes on his head. Now the
poor guy, what does he do?
Yeah. Everybody's got any sense, you know? What
does he do?
Probably didn't have much sense anyway because he
robbed the robbed the bank. But at least
Surrender.
So that is a very gross,
you know,
example of surrendering. But it is a very
prolific and we can understand
except surrender.
Allah says,
run, rush,
escape. Escape to where? To Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala.
There's no other escape.
However,
there's a big difference between his surrender and
the surrender that we are
required to make.
His surrender is because he's surrounded by, you
know, material
strength,
You know? He
he he he doesn't he doesn't actually have
he doesn't find the love of the police
department.
You know? He doesn't really have that love
and affection for them. He really enjoyed them
for him. But he's so interesting.
Out of mere, you know, sheer,
you know, fear
of consequences
if he chooses otherwise.
However,
our surrender is quite a different nature.
Surrounds us with his with
his ayat, with his
head, with this. Just open your eyes.
Look.
Open your ears. Open your mind. Open your
heart. Look right.
Niyamatullah
for 1 human being, unalculable.
Every moment of our existence inside of us,
all systems are working. Outside of us, all
these
micro
systems working for who? Well, is need
that?
Does need
billions of light years of expansiveness of the
universe? Does he need that?
Does it help him?
Does it serve any purpose for him? Absolutely
not.
Then for who?
For who pays you great with that?
For you and I.
So then we look at that and we
study that and we
ponder over and we say,
for that.
So this is why we created this entire
equation that he would be known. And as
he's as he is known, then he is
worshiped accordingly.
Therefore,
mention
So that they should know this one. So
this one actually, the word says,
said,
you have a gun, ibadah, abudia.
But the is
is contingent upon.
If we don't know,
how we worship him.
So the first knowledge that is necessary to
acquire is the knowledge of Allah
Who is he?
The fellow doesn't know the president. He has
no clue about who he is, his powers,
you know, his ability.
You know? So why should he obey his
edict?
Because we don't know Allah,
we don't know his niyama. We don't know
his system. We don't know his sunnah.
So
we find ourselves not worshiping him,
not obeying,
not loving,
not appreciating.
We have a few minutes, as I said
last night, we have a few minutes to
get it right.
So ila liyah buddun. This means
this means that in every activity
focus on those.
What do you want from me, Allah? When
we go for Hajj, what do we say?
What does this mean?
Well, I'm here, present,
ready.
I'm your slave, you're my rock, you're great.
Send me to work for a short time.
You're going to take me back.
So what do you want from me?
For that, all this want that I send
a total system
in every aspect of our life,
a total system of beliefs, a total system
of. And
interestingly,
Nabi al Islam
ala Khamz.
Islam has been built upon 5 pillars. Usually,
they say pillars here.
Right? But this is not mentioned in the
hadith, but 5 things. So you could say
5 pillars?
Five foundations?
And the interesting thing is is that all
of these 5 pillars are all.
Kadima,
salat,
sun,
hajj, sakat.
Right?
So one would ask, what happened
to Mawmala?
What about Mawashila? What
about, you know,
Halal, Haram,
Hadood?
You
know? Tawlik,
Islam is not built on these things.
No problem.
Nabi Yusuf didn't say Islam is 5 things.
Nabi Yusuf
said Islam is
founded on 5.
So
so in other words, Islam is built
Islam. The whole of Islam is built on
these 5 foundations.
Like, I might say, you see, this Masjid
is built on 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
6, 7, 8. Suppose
8 foundations,
8 pillars, which you don't see also.
But I'm quite sure that the architect, you
see, has put a lot of stress
on how strong those pillars have to be
because those pillars are going to support the
entire structure of Masjid. Right?
So if we build these 8 pillars, we
don't say,
Masjid is there. Can we say that?
No.
Masjid is all these things. Masjid is all
those pillars and then you have a roof,
you have walls, you have carpets, you have
scores of things which make up the conglomerate,
makes up the the the, you know, the
overall the holistic mystery.
However, if we didn't have those 8 foundation
pillar found founding pillars foundational pillars, then what
would happen to this Masjid?
Is it look. The main thing and and
people are cost conscious these days. Let's face
it.
So look. These pillars, you know, you don't
even see it, actually.
And a lot of time and a lot
of extra money is spent on these things.
So why don't we just, you know, do
it? Forget the pillars, man. Just build the
walls up and and put the roof quick
so we can have a place, you know.
People want to make Jumah, they want to
make Jumah, they want to make Jumah, they
want to start Tarsin.
Forget about that.
So if that were to be done,
suppose now that a masjid is built, no
foundation,
So we call everybody for salatulip.
Everybody comes in, masha'Allah.
The the imam says, Allahu and everybody, Allah
and shakes the building and the roof,
but caves in.
Why?
What? Foundation.
No foundation.
No foundation.
And this is what's happening all over the
Muslim world. We don't have any foundation. We
want, you know, we want government. We want
this. We want this. We want this. We
want this. We want this. And we don't
have any foundation.
So what happens?
What do you see in the news all
over the Islamic world? That's what happens.
Nibley, sallam, brought all this.
This. You see this whole system of Islam
after 23 years of effort. It didn't happen
in a day. It didn't happen because somebody
made a fiery speech. It didn't happen because
somebody went out in the street and, you
know, made a lot of noise.
It didn't come into being simply because they
had a lot of emotion.
They had
It came into being with a system,
and it was a long and continuous and
consistent system.
13 years in Makkah,
specific focused
effort was made.
Iman was built.
Consciousness of Allah's one thought it was built.
The value of iman and the value of
the that proceed from iman was built.
The stories of the of the former prophets
and the former
nations.
Those who struggled for the development of iman
and Amat.
Then the history shows this what took place.
Musa,
alaihis salam, what did you have? And you
know the destroyed Musa alaihis salam, you know,
again and again and again and again.
Who's it for? And you Bani Israel, you
Bani Israel, Ubani Israel. They're the ones who
are primarily being, you see,
addressed.
In certain instances, yes. In most instances, we
are the ones being interviewed because we are
the next money in the right way. On
a larger scale,
they were chosen and we have been chosen.
They chosen and they chose otherwise
for the most part. So now we've been
chosen. And
unfortunately we used to find ourselves
treading the same path as they tread.
Back to Moses. Musa alayhis salaam, what did
he
have?
Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
Firaun had everything. Can you imagine this, you
know the fellow is saying, I am
your
rub. I'm your ilah. I'm your everything. Any
eyed people all prostrating in front of me.
Is there any world ruler today that can
actually do that?
Suppose any of these rulers as wherever they
are, okay. Now on Monday morning, everybody, you
know, in the United States is going to
is going to
make such a decision. He's the president of
the country.
Somebody called the ambulance quickly. Fellows in trouble.
Stressed out. It's a tough job. So
have mercy on the poor guy. Take him
away and and then let him rest.
But that didn't happen with the case of
Feraud. He said, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's correct.
And everybody
passed away from this guy.
What happened? So in a day or 2,
it just the rod didn't just come and
all of a sudden, bam, and all of
a sudden, you know,
Islam was established in Quran.
It took
years, perhaps decades.
Until Osama
took the decision, okay, now it's the time.
In one second,
in one second,
the entirety of Bani Israel, Musa al Islam,
and Bani Israel. See?
The entire red sea opened up. Can you
imagine?
And Faraun is coming with all Now look
at this. This is amazing. Think about this.
Musa alaihis salam has been telling Firoun, look
you're not Rubal Allah. You're not Ilah.
You're created, I'm created. Look at this entire
creation. You didn't create all of that. There
was one that he created all of that.
Don't worship
him.
I'm I'm him.
So all of these years, Musa is telling
him, no. Allah is the one. Allah is
the one. Allah is the one. Allah is
the one.
And now in front of him, the sea
has opened up. Now obviously, Firaun had nothing
to do with opening that sea.
Musa alayhisam had done it. So obviously, any
idiot will understand it is this Musa's Allah
opened that sea.
And that same sea that that that was
open for Musa, al Islam, you think it's
gonna stay open for me?
And I've been fighting and torturing and murdering,
you know, his his progeny for
the for the past several decades.
Amazing. How this fellow had the audacity to
actually, with his whole army now, at least
send some scouts and see what happens.
Send a few people and you know if
they get
So Allah's gonna cover up his aqal, and
the aqal of all those
troops in his ministry, whatever he had. And
they all went, you know, like, totally, you
know, like like,
they've all lost their minds, and they've all
gone into the middle of the sea. Now
this
the whole sea is there standing in front
of them. One second,
gone.
And we're worried you know, how does Muhammad
Ali do? How does Muhammad Ali you know,
pay for my house? And how does Muhammad
Ali pay for my risk and how I'll
eat and how I'll
come on man.
Where did you come from in the first
place? Look at this insan, look at your
creation. Who created it? Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
You had any helper? You had anything to
do with it? Anyone had anything to do
with it?
He brought us into existence and he made
all of these systems for our support and
then how I'm going to eat.
I mean, this is North America.
I want to sustain it.
Allah sustains the cockroaches and the rats and
the mice and and he wants to sustain
people who are worshiping him.
Saying Laila Allahu wa rasool and trying to
live the life that Allah sent and trying
to spread that way of life.
So
this whole life of servitude, Abu Diyab, all
of us,
this is why we're here.
To the extent that we bring this into
our lives, to the extent that all of
us will elevate
us.
Our Nabi Muhammad
The most elevated
creation of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to to
exist and will ever exist. Right?
And probably the most auspicious
Maqam of Nabi al Islam
in this world was the Maqam of Islam
Mirajah.
That was unique. No other prophet was
given a station like that or given a
name.
And interestingly, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala in that
narrative in that narrative Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
calls him by what name?
Subhanahu alaihi Asra be
extent,
So
back to our pillars,
the 5 pillars of Islam. All of these
pillars are
Ibadat. Because the basis of our deen is
Ibadah or
The forms of this expression of.
And our purpose of life is this.
This consciousness, this awareness that I'm always one
of the slave and I'm always attentive to
it and I'm acting as a slave in
this world.
And all those actions, those are all Ibadans.
Yeah.
Now when we have that basis
in ourselves,
that's the basis of our family, that's the
basis of our community, that's the basis of
our ummah, then what happens is the entirety
of the beautiful structure of Islam can be
built and it will be supported and will
sustain.
Not.
No. For that, so the first focus that
we have to have on ourselves, how do
we build this Urboudi in ourselves?
Masjid is a place where this happens. It
doesn't happen in the factories. It doesn't happen
out in the street. It doesn't happen in
the market. It happens in the Masjid.
It happens in the places where
this is being talked about,
where this is being focused upon.
It doesn't happen outside.
Outsiders is iman destructive. Mus inside Masjid is
iman
constructive.
However,
we have been created to live in this
world in various situations and circumstances and to
maintain this
kafiyat of Urboudia
in all circumstances
and situations.
For that, we have to think how we
will, first of all, develop that within ourselves.
And then how we
sustain that and maintain that
in every activity that we engage ourselves.
For that, there's waste.
As I said yesterday, you know, in the
early seventies, there was nothing out there you
see in this in this country except the
work of Tabitha.
These Jamats used to come and move from
various countries and used to walk around in
the cities. Mostly they couldn't speak even English.
And they were a lot more people.
What? Who are you?
Once we were in, you know, we were
in
in Manhattan,
near Columbia University. One of our Pakistani brothers,
he had this little room.
So
we came out of there with colonel.
Yeah.
Colonel.
So we came out of the we came
out on the ground. We came out late
in the night. It was summer. So it
was like 11:30, 12 in the night. These
youngsters were standing around on the street.
So we came out of the apartment. It
was way up on the 5th, 6th floor,
whatever.
And we're walking on the street, and these
kids started, oh,
oh, they're high on something. Anyway,
they they saw
that. Hey. Who are you guys?
Oh, does people
like you. We see some light.
So it wasn't about anything, but we're trying
to do something that was full of life.
We're trying to develop iman. We're trying to
talk about iman to people.
So in that context, you see, in that
context, the masjid, the Ahmad of masjid, the
context of masjid, iman can be built.
Words of iman, we can learn that in
in the book. We can learn that on
a screen.
The realm of iman,
you have to begin
it. You can go to the the military
academy. Right?
You can learn all the theory.
When you get actually in the war and
the first bullet goes zinging over your head,
then what happens?
You guys, you know, you guys and this
is what happens all over you.
So those those fellows, you know, they they
they they experienced. They've been
through
war.
Bullets. So what? Those bullets ultimately will hit
me. If I have iman,
I believe that I can actually
be a shahid.
Fine.
Welcome.
So I would strongly suggest that our brothers
this this pattern is a very simple pattern,
but it's extremely effective.
However, it's effective when it is done properly.
So I would I would invite all of
our brothers, you see,
to move in these Jamaz and and I
would invite I would strongly
suggest and recommend to our brothers who are
actually involved in the work of Tabligha that
let's do Tabligha as it should be done,
Which means
that regimen that we're supposed to learn, you
see,
24 hours a day, we learn.
We don't learn how to eat more and
sleep more and talk more.
We learn how to
connect more,
which means in the night and you know
in the early days, you know, what used
to happen was
that half the night would be spent in
the body.
People would spend, you know,
like I said about use of 3, 4
hours in salat al tasbih. This was everybody.
They would do that.
And you know in the morning when you
would have a mashwa, you used to have
mashwa, okay, who's going to talk? Who's going
to do this?
So we said, okay. Sheikh Hamza will give
a talk.
Missed my target.
It's a loud idea. So what am I
gonna talk?
The use of that talk? Without the the
code of Aman, what what what is this
talking to do? Nothing.
He will write down the talk and say,
wow. What a talk. And that's it.
Imam bin Jozi, Bahamul Azar, he used to
have a huge majlis,
100 of 1000 people.
And he used to give a talk. He
used to give talks. He used to give
a talk. Now if you look at that
talk,
that talk wasn't all that much different than
what talks we hear today.
But in those talks,
thousands of people used to make toba nasuh.
Thousands of people.
Those are common things.
He
would sit in the in the corner and
he would start talking. And people would listen
to this for 10, 15, 28 minutes, half
an hour. Their life would change
until death.
And we go on talking and talking, and
nobody we don't change, and nobody else do
this. So what's wrong?
Again, connection. It's not there.
So that connection is an effort of the
night and it's an effort of the day.
Night effort is
Surah Muzammil.
Yeah. Ayal Muzammil.
Night effort.
And then
the day starts. Now the day has come.
Now what? What effort? That effort is now
secure.
Now day effort, work on the creation.
Work
in the sea of people.
You've got this
huge.
So that's what it's supposed to be. The
day is supposed to be. You know, knock
yourselves out. Go to the people, you know.
We have we have Muslims living in this
country.
They haven't they don't have a clue
why they're here.
Neither why they're in this country, neither why
they're in this world, or why they're in
this universe.
And we're we're expecting and and hoping that
the non Muslims should now come towards Islam.
We ourselves, where are we?
So how would you just say be like
us?
Be like us.
So we have to be that
be that entity, be that individual, be that
family, be that community, be that ummah that
people would look at and say, yeah. This
is what we want to live like. This
is the the way a human being is
supposed to live.
So
for that, we need to build our iman.
We need to build imani sifaat.
The same Allah who says He says
as
well.
You have to learn all these
things. Inwardly, outwardly,
and then we have to put this into
every area, every part of our existence.
Now usually in America, usually in these neighborhoods,
we have a lot of doctors.
How many doctors do you have?
This fellow, very interesting fellow,
He came to me some some friend of
mine brought him because he was a young
expat, you know, like some of you who
grew up here and he grew up in
the Bay and actually comes from a quite
a recordist
family. You would know you would know.
And, so they didn't he didn't have any
dealings right then. Nobody was religious. Nobody even
had any clue about
Islam or Islam.
So somehow or another,
it dawned on him that, you know, I'm
a Muslim, I'm supposed to be a Muslim,
so what does that mean?
Allah will tell him when he wants.
He gives a day.
So he's so what he did was he
said, okay.
Islam, that's supposed to be in the Quran.
Right?
So he didn't speak Urdu Arabic or anything,
you know, he spoke English. So he found
one of his translations in of Quran. He
went through the whole Quran and highlighted everything
like a medical journal, you know.
And
he had this whole file, I'm telling you,
he had this whole file of questions.
And he was trying to find people to
ask answer the question. They've taken all these
weirdos, you know, in Pakistan, you have these
English speaking.
Oh my god. It's terrible.
And these poor guys so this poor fellow,
he was just totally confused and just it
was a mess.
So
then a very close friend of mine,
he,
brother, and he's also the son-in-law,
So he bought this fellow. He was a
neighbor also, so he bought them too. He
said, look, this guy's having problems, having a
lot of issues, and he only speaks English.
So I thought maybe you could help.
So he just started, you know, I need
to get it. I just okay. Hang on.
You know? Relax.
What we'll do is you can come after
Asad because I had time between Asad and
Haggadah. So I said, okay. You know, a
few days a week, come.
And I'll give you some things to read,
and we'll also, you know, have some sessions.
So
we started having sessions, he started learning.
So then he said, look,
I'm wasting my time.
Yeah. I'm in I'm studying medicine and, you
know, what's this?
Forget it. So he wanted to leave medical
school and join the madrasa.
I
said, alright. Hang on.
Wait.
So number 1,
if you actually do do that and you
join the madras, probably it's not gonna be
all that that you thought it was.
So I don't want you to get, you
know that's 1. Number 2, what's wrong with
what you're doing?
Is there anything wrong with being a doctor?
Yeah. It's about dunya, I said.
You guys made it about dunya.
Otherwise, it's not supposed to be about dunya.
Medicine is actually a khidma,
supposed to be a khidma.
All doctors
keep this very
supposed to be Hilma.
Supposed.
And interestingly
interestingly,
you know, in the history of Islam,
we had hospitals of 1,000,
1500 bed hospitals in Baghdad
and other places all in the in the
Islamic world.
And
every patient had 4 people attending him.
A Tabib, you know, Ma'arij, a Tabib,
and then a Khadem and then a person
to, you know, look after his cleanliness and
a Morabi also.
Yeah. This is documented.
We thought that, you know, these, you know,
these these the West has come up with.
And
the best part about that was it was
that you didn't pay a cent.
And there was an Obamacare and
There was, you see,
This is a khitma.
This is the right of every Muslim.
And the governments used to understand that whatever
whatever mawadid, you know, that whatever
revenue is coming is for the
it's for the sake of, you know, looking
after the people. You're not
storing up anything here.
So can you imagine that? Top of the
line service and top of the line you
need facilities
and not a penny was charged.
Anyway, so I told my I told my
son-in-law to be he wasn't my son at
that time.
And actually then then his his parents were
getting parishan. They were getting all, you know,
stressed
out. Our son, who is this guy's meeting?
He's weirdo, you know.
So they were trying to keep him from
actually coming in. So I said, forget it.
Don't don't don't don't make an issue out
of that. Why don't you invite your mother
to come and visit us? I mean she's
having an issue with us.
These guys, you know. So let her come
and go see the word. Not like that.
We're reasonable people.
Lead your son astray and all that.
So she came and very reluctantly saw her,
she came and and she also saw my
daughter.
She liked
her. So a few months later,
he was made to my daughter.
So now, and he has no job, he
hasn't. He's in medical school.
So I said, don't worry, it's fine. I
said, so
rather than you leaving medical school, and you're
already in the 3rd year, you know, in
Pakistan, it's a 5 year course. I said,
you're already 3 years on. So you've got
another 2 years. You've gone this far. Had
you just thinking about maybe we would look
at it. No. You're already in. And that's
a wonderful
profession,
if you have the proper niyat and you
have the proper practice.
Let's face it. You know?
If we want to, people like us, you
know, Rolamah, you know, people of madrasa, people
of Tabligh, we try and go and see
people,
you know. They don't want to see you
in the 1st place. And if they do
see you, how many people you can see
in a day?
Now these people are lining up to see
you.
Yeah?
Right? How many patients do you see every
day?
Can we go and make gush and see
50, 60 people a day? If possible.
And let me tell you something. There's another
thing that I've observed, and probably you would
agree with me. There's 2 people in the
world that everybody they they listen to and
they respect and wanna talk to
their voice. Who are these 2 categories?
Doctor and teacher.
Doctor and teacher. We have teachers here? Who's
the teacher?
No teachers? Teachers. Most of them. Who else?
Teaching is a great professionals.
Yeah. Because, you know, people listen to teachers.
When my little girl was she was she
was about this this far. So growing up
in Pakistan, so they were teaching her English,
you know, and they were teaching her this
Pakistani pronunciation.
You know?
So she'd come home with this, and I'd
try and correct it. Yeah. No. No. No.
It's not like that.
No. No. No. Miss doesn't say like this.
She says like this.
So now as a 7, 8 year old
kid, you can't tell her that miss is
fine, but I mean, she's not from it's
not a language.
So no. No. No. No. Miss said, you
know, and and miss and she used to
come, you know, interesting. She used to come
every day after the class, and she just
do a replay of the whole
session of school. So we didn't have to
actually go and find out what we just
observed. She'd set up her class. She put
a we had a whiteboard and a blackboard.
So she'd start doing it, so we'd get
a replay of the whole class.
So teaching is a wonderful thing. It has
a huge impact. Someone was asking, what about
our kids? You get your teachers in line,
get parents in line, teachers in line, it's
done.
In short.
Now doctors.
Doctors, you know, people come and they say,
you know,
doctor Saab says,
like I said, doctor Saab.
Doctor Saab. And even, you know, he's a
tabliga. Doctor.
Doctor. And actually
but actually, you know, really in the in
the early days of Islam,
doctors didn't really have much position.
The people weren't sick.
And they ate
simply. They lived simply. They you know, even
he wrote a book called.
Right? Very interesting book.
Every doctor should be
fully
conversant with that book
and the likes of his
books. So somebody asked me, I said, look,
you know, share.
You're talking about, you know, all of these
work of, you know,
these complicated medicines. Actually later on, the atibadi
they learned from your nannies and so forth.
So they started making these complicated medicines.
He said, maybe so some get very simple,
you know, Elijah.
Just take this thing, take that thing, and
you'll be fixed.
He said, yeah. Because in those days, people
had a simple lifestyle.
They ate simple. They had to live so
so simple medicine was sufficient.
Now it's our fault that we, you know,
went out of the whole system. So now
we need to see all this stuff.
So I told him, I said, look.
Better for you to stay in this profession,
but change your intention and change your practice.
We have a fellow down the street from
us,
doctor.
Actually, he's the he's the father of one
of my daughters in
law. She's also from
the
doctor. This was a doctor, highly qualified and
he he works where?
He works in a in a in a
free clinic.
You know the Shahmusalla?
Everyone knows Sean Masala. The
owner of that is an old friend of
mine, actually. And he started in a little
room like that. He's also a man very
consistent on. Anyway, so his family, they had
started some free clinic for the public,
and that's where he works. That's where he
was working when I first came to Pakistan.
That's where he's working now. And he drives
an old motorcycle.
He doesn't even have a car.
It's a little apartment.
So he understands that this is a khidmat,
and then he spends his time in and
helping people in social work.
Disguise.
So now, and I'm sure that, you know,
now the doctors, I would like to, you
know, that's why I asked for the doctors
because you doctors, you know, you have a
wonderful opportunity.
If we
just kind of, you
know, adjust our nyet
and adjust our practice a little bit.
Nyet is that we are here to serve.
We are here, and that's probably what they
they they they taught you. I mean, they
they were supposed to put that in, you
know, the
medical ethics and stuff like that. Yeah. But
we all know that, you know,
some of the most wealthiest people in the
country are doctors.
How is that? So when people are sick,
so there's an opportunity to earn money.
This is the opportunity
to earn Jannat,
Allah's
pleasure. You know? People are coming to us
15, 16, 20 a day. All of these
fellows, we come, you know,
and not only we look
at one very interesting doctor, Palestinian doctor in
Dubai.
He said doctors are probably one of the
primary,
you know, instruments of building people's iman and
destroying people's iman.
Yeah.
He said, suppose a doctor on the material
based system that we talked about yesterday, material
based system or based system.
So the materialist doctor, what he says, the
guy the patient comes,
what do you got? This this this oh,
boy. I'm telling you. You really need to
thank god because you came to me. Otherwise,
you're in big trouble.
You know? Don't worry. Don't worry. You come
to me. I'll sort it out.
So he sends him to all these, you
know, tests
where he gets his kickback from all of
these. And these tests are very expensive. Yeah?
These 2% fibers.
So he goes around to all these tests.
He comes back and he says, well, now
you see.
You need surgery immediately.
So
but
relax, you know, because
I'm here. Don't worry.
Hospital's here. I'm here. We'll take care. And
there are the guys paid through the news,
but it doesn't matter because his insurance that
he's spending these and he's just paying this
premium that just, you know, locks him out.
I don't know how people can do it
actually. They have
to do it. Because if you don't, you
can't afford to get sick
in this country. Okay.
So the guy goes through all this process
and then suppose actually so a lot of
times he doesn't even need an operation. Really?
But doctors need to continue that machine going
and all that system and all the pharmaceutical
companies and that. Did you know that the
pharmaceutical
companies,
major pharmaceutical companies, are now facing trials in
the ICC Court in Hague
as war criminals. I do.
War criminals.
War criminals. Are they waging war? Yeah. They're
waging war. What they do is they go
into these countries,
and they see opportunities
to get their products, you know, I get
it across, you know,
And they ensure that nobody else can come
in
and compete with it.
And there are other, you see, there are
other treatments which are cheaper, more effective, but
and they have these patents that that stop
anybody to make the stuff that they're making.
As a result of that,
government agencies, doctors groups have now filed suit
because these pharmaceutical companies
have brought about the death of millions of
individuals, particularly in Africa.
But what is that? And then you go
on the website.
We're here to serve
our ethics.
We are you know?
And actually, the the the cat is out
of the box, so people know this. It's
not like, you know, nobody knows what's going
on
because of media, social media. So everything is
out there. So
that doctor, suppose he suppose he he doesn't
make it. That patient that came, they're not
here, they're and it doesn't work. So now
neither he has iman in Allah, neither has
iman in the medical profession.
This is all nonsense.
You guys the only one in super depression.
He's probably gonna commit suicide.
Another doctor, doctor of iman.
Another doctor of iman. Patient comes.
It's doctor Salar. Look.
Life, death, health, sickness,
this is all in the hand of Allah
who created me, created you.
So, yes, you have an issue Allah swan
told you and he created this issue.
And for every in the hadith says,
and
those and the Bismarck says that for every
sickness is a cure.
So what I propose is that I make
2 rakat salat, you also make 2 rakat
salat. You make dua that Allah gives me
the to understand what's wrong with you, number
1, and then give me the to prescribe
the right
You see? And I'll make du'a that Allah
guides me and helps you. And and if
Allah
wants you and you get shifa,
then what do we do? We do shukr,
and we we thank all of us for
that. And if all of us needs akhim
al hakileen,
if he decides otherwise for you because maybe
he has another agenda for
you. We don't know. Yeah. Maybe your sickness,
you know, it may elevate your status and
all that and forgive you, sir. We don't
know.
So if,
may Allah forbid, that you don't get as
you don't get, you know, well,
so we do saber, and that's also better
for
you.
Everything for the moment is good.
Musiba,
sabah,
Nama,
Shukur.
So if you're ready for that, then I'm
ready. Otherwise, you know,
that's what's fine.
So now after this whole process and this
whole terbiyyah that takes place, what happens?
If he gets if he gets shifa,
Alhamdulillah.
If he doesn't get shifa,
Alhamdulillah.
So doctor Saab Ziman is built.
Patient is built, and, actually, the patient becomes
murid of doctor Saab.
Yeah.
So, actually, doctor Saab has to be, you
know, a doctor, a sheikh, a moor shade,
a, you know, a teacher, everything.
And then you can imagine. Now all these
people coming from all over the you know,
every walk of life, they're coming to you,
and every person is coming. Now this is
a man that and almost give me opportunity
to show this person. You see, Amari and.
What is Islam?
The fellow doesn't have the he doesn't have
insurance? So what? I earn plenty on all
these ads. You don't relax.
We're here to help you.
Yeah?
Will it be will it be a problem?
Suppose our doctor and I heard this. I
was going to somewhere.
I was here. I was going somewhere, and
I met some doctor, and he was
I said, no. We're we're here in America.
And my wife is here, and we're both
doctors. And what we've done is we've decided
that since this country has given us so
much, we need to give.
Nobody's given us so much.
So what we have done, we've opened up
free clinics and we're going on and we're
treating the people.
Yeah.
So suppose we do things like that?
Set up free clinics, you know, and these
are beautiful opportunities.
Set up free clinics or people they don't
have don't treat them, you know.
And as they come then show them the
akhlaq of Islam and show them you see
something and give them maybe some literature
and so
on. Can we do that, doctors?
Do you know what doctors can do? Yeah.
Yeah. I mean, you you're all here. You
should get together and think how we can
be instruments. So what do we say?
So these hours in my clinic is.
And now we have in Pakistan no. Actually,
we've developed a whole system of business. That
was what I've been working on for the
past several years. We have a whole system
of business called the Erboudia business model. So
what we did is we studied all the
various aspects and operations in business, and we
came up with a whole system of, you
know, implementing Sharia and Sunnat and Aqlat and
Agaab and from near to right down to
every aspect of operations
so that we can make it easy and
facilitate people to actually do that in their
businesses. So now a group of doctors in
Pakistan, the same concept they're doing using in
medicine.
The same thing people should do are in
agriculture. The same thing people should do are
in so so so and so forth and
so in every
department,
people need to actually do this.
And in doing so, then our professions actually
become part of our
part of our life
of. Yeah. So in short,
first we ourselves we ourselves have to become,
you see, obedient slaves. Right now we're basically
runaway slaves.
So stop.
Right? So we need to get that right.
So you make
and you think about it. Now how we
get ourselves, you know, connected?
So the basic thing is connect with the
connected. In the place of connection, it must
be.
So think about that and come up with
your
program section. Secondly,
how to implement this whole system of
in all of our areas of work so
that people come to us and we become
instruments of Hidayah wherever we happen to
be. Whether we're doctors, whether we're teachers, whether
we're laborers, wherever we are, any person who's
working on these lines is an employee in
a company. I'm telling you, they'll love you.
I'm sure they do anyway.
But if we actually follow the principles that
have been taught, and for that we have
the Islamic way of moolazama, of, you know,
of employment.
And our scholars have written, you know, whole
volumes on that.
Yeah. So as an employee, I can work
in the company. I can be a means
of Heday for the whole company.
If I'm that model, I'm that, I'm that,
I'm that I'm that, you know, model in
my place.
And then we saw someone was sent as
rahmalilalameen
and in that whole system,
this is a mercy for the entire.
Islam didn't come to destroy everything and destroy
people, destroy lives and destroy
Islam came to build, to give.
So let us have that consciousness, let us
have that mindset.
Learn this system of our buddhiya, practice it
in ourselves, practice it in our families, and
practice it in every in all of our
aspects of our and there is the tough
part also.
You know?
On one hand, you know,
help this guy. On the other hand, you
know, a lot of money.
So what do I do? Money.
We're going, you know, wishing for the things,
money money money money. And then death comes
and then what happens?
All left behind.
We're all custodians. That was it.
So inshallah,
I'm quite sure that all of our brothers
here, they're already doing much of what I'm
saying. If not all of it, more.
And if not,
then let's do it.
I just want to select it and he
hasn't made any difficulty for you. It's easy.
We need intention, we need a little we
need a little sabah.
And connect with the connected.
Okay?
Probably much longer than
anyone intended, but
hopefully
