Brothers and sisters,
this is a Mubarak occasion, and this is
a a Mubarak work.
The work of the dissemination
of sacred knowledge,
this is the work of the.
Rasulullah
said that the best of you are the
ones who teach the Quran,
the ones who learn the Quran, and the
ones who teach it.
And inside the
inside the tent of this concept of teaching
the Quran and learning it
Reside all of the subsidiary sciences that are
required in order to
know and understand the Quran.
The great amount of complexity, the great amount
of detail
that is
resident inside of this tent,
it's something that boggles the mind of normal
people.
Normal people, when confronted with
the sheer amount of information and the
sheer amount of
knowledge that's required in order to
in order to,
keep all of this information in a way
that
is beneficial to a person,
it's something that
many people who are not acquainted with
the the the the art and the skill
of teaching and learning,
they find it overwhelming the question what the
point of it is.
Brothers and sisters, there is a point.
Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, he's the one who
designated what? That the or the
that the scholars are the heirs of the
prophets
Who is your heir?
Who inherits from you when you die?
In the sharia of Islam,
when a person
has an uncle, their cousin will not inherit.
Why? Because the uncle is closer to them
in relation.
When a person has a brother, their uncle
will not inherit. Why? Because the brother is
closer to them in relation.
When a person has a father or a
son, then the brother will not inherit. Why?
Because the father and son are closer to
them in relation.
So when Rasulullah
says what? That the are the what is
he trying to say?
That the are the heirs of the prophet
He's saying that in this, the ones whose
state and status and how is closest to
that of the prophet,
who are they?
They're the people of knowledge.
And the knowledge meant here is not the
knowledge of being a doctor. It's not the
knowledge of being an engineer. It's not the
knowledge of being a lawyer.
Even though all of these knowledges are important,
and all of them are a a a
duty, a a kifaya, an communal obligation upon
the
to learn and preserve and benefit from.
However, these are not the things that are
meant by,
by the, references
to knowledge both in the Quran and the
sunnah of the prophet
primarily.
What's primarily meant? It's the knowledge of revelation.
That someone should sit and learn from
to the end of the alphabet, and that
they should learn to read the Quran,
and they should then learn the language of
the Quran, then they should learn the grammar
of the Quran, that they should then understand
how to
extract from it its rulings, both in the
creed, the belief of a Muslim,
which resides in the mind,
and the Sharia, the sacred law, the fiqh,
which resides on the limbs,
and the
and the of the deen, which resides inside
of what? It resides inside of the spiritual
heart.
This is the job of those people who
have this knowledge.
Those people are described as how? They're described
by the messenger of Allah, sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam, as what?
Imam ibn Abdul Bar. Qadhi ibn Abdul Bar.
He was, Al Mullatta Be Hafiz and Masrib,
that he was the Hafiz of the west.
The west means what? The western Muslim lands.
And the word Hafiz here doesn't mean that
he can, masha'a, trade
spaces with another,
Hafiz and and speak through
and make, like, only 3 or 4 mistakes
every night. No.
This doesn't mean that. This means somebody who
has at least anecdotally memorized
over a 100,000 hadith of the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam,
both in their text and in their chain
of narration.
Despite having lived after the Imam Bukhari and
Imam Muslim,
he doesn't need to quote hadith from Bukhari
and Muslim. He has his own chains of
narration that he quotes from. So
from amongst the great number of beneficial books
that he wrote, one of his books is
called the,
is called the the the book of the
gathering of the
virtues of
knowledge. The virtues of knowledge. And he quotes
a hadith of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam. And which said, Anas ibn Malik
narrates That their ulema are who? They're the
trustees of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
when it comes to taking charge over the
slaves of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
The ulema are what? They're the trustees of
the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. Who is
Rasulullah?
Rasulullah is a trustee of Allah ta'ala.
And who are the ulema? They're the ones
who the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam has
entrusted that you take charge of the rebadah
of of Allah ta'ala. You take charge of
the slaves of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
This is something that we don't take seriously
anymore.
This is something we don't take seriously anymore
as a community.
This is something that we sometimes Allah forgive
us as students of knowledge
and as people of knowledge, people who teach
and learn
daily for a living as our primary occupation.
Oftentimes, we don't take these things seriously. Guess
what? Rasulullah salallahu alaihi wa sallam took them
seriously.
He said that they're what? That they're the
of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. They are the
trustees of Allah ta'ala over his slaves as
long as.
Tadeh bin Abdul Bar, he writes in in
in in clarification of what this means.
But the prophet
said that they are the trustees of this
ummah. They're the trustees over the slaves of
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala as long as they
don't mix with the mix with the government
or mix with temporal power, temporal authority.
Badi ibn Abdul Bar, he clarifies that this
doesn't mean that every alim has to be
far from centers of power and centers of
control and centers of of of of nifas,
of execution of the sacred law of Islam.
Rather, this is a warning not against temporal
power. This is a warning against associating with
corrupt power.
Meaning what?
Meaning, if you look at the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam's life, who is the one
who ran the government in Madinah during his
life?
He didn't say, no. We have no nothing
to do with the dunya. We're just gonna
sit and pray and say, you know, allah
allah in the corner, and we're going to,
just leave that to the the people of
the dunya. No. Rasulullah sallahu alaihi wa sallam
prayed, and his prayer is better than our
prayer.
And he sat and made zikr Allah. Allah,
his zikr was better than our zikr. And
he also took the reins of society and
made it a better place, and it was
a better society than our society.
And after him, say the Abu Bakr Siddiq
who is the best of this ummah after
the messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
by the consensus of the people of guidance
as a matter of
and after him, say, and after him, say,
and after him, say,
This is what? This is the complete implementation
of Islam. This is the meaning of this.
This is the meaning of this, hadith of
the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, that they
were the trustees of the messenger of Allah
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam over the slaves of,
of Allah as
long as they don't
mix with tyrants, mix with the temporal authority
and the temporal power that uses that power
for wrong.
Continues in the hadith as is narrated by,
That if they do that, if you see
people of knowledge who take this knowledge with
them and they then go in front of
the kings and the princes, the governors, the
presidents, the prime ministers, the people of money,
and they what? They they beg at that
that threshold
rather than telling them and instructing them in
in how to care for the creation of
Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, you see them begging,
You see them making ruku and sajdah in
those places.
Then Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said, in
that case, as an exception, what should you
do? He says that what? He said that
those people in that case,
that they have they have
shown treachery to not just the prophet
to all of the messengers of Allah sallallahu
alaihi musaatoasalaam.
In that case, they've shown treachery to all
of the messengers of Allah alaihi musaatoasalaam.
And in that case, what should you do?
You should be weary of them. You should
be afraid of them, what's gonna come from
their mouth, and you should stay away from
them. Don't sit in their masj list. Don't
give money to their projects, don't read their
books and their articles, don't promote them what
they have to say. Stay away from them.
Cut yourself, cut your ties between you and
between them.
And by Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala's fadl, there
is in the ummah of the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam as a matter of and
as a matter of iman, a group of
people who will be
the inheritors of the prophet
and the ones that are entrusted with this
deen
from Allah to Allah to the rest of
Rasul sallallahu alaihi wa sallam and from the
Rasul sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
to the ummah of the prophet
from the time of all the way until
the
that group of people will be there, and
it's mentioned in Sahih Bukhari amongst a number
of other books of hadith that what? Those
people will be. Those people will always be
there. They will be someone if you look
for them, you'll find them. There'll be people
who will not be hidden. They're not going
to be hidden in a closet, and they're
gonna say that, oh, you know, every one
of the for the last 4 centuries and
for the last 10 centuries has been wrong
except for me. I'm the one who,
preserves the special sacred knowledge of the imam
of this and that, and now I'm gonna
divulge a secret to you that everybody didn't
know about. No. That they're
They're openly proclaiming the truth, and in and
and in
that the ones that that that oppose those
people the ones that oppose those people, they're
not going to be able to harm them.
Now why is it in this occasion I
wanted to bring up this this this topic
and this treatment,
with regards to the Haq Abdul Ullama? It's,
in many ways, a very pro form a
type of speech for a gathering like this.
The reason is what? The reason is that
we have now so many groups, the the
the the community in North America
and the English speaking Muslim community across the
world, throughout Europe and throughout,
the enfranchised,
westernized and anglophilic,
minorities inside of the Muslim world. We see
people are breaking up into these different groups.
They're breaking up into these different groups. So
one of them is what? Our ulama from
the past, they're they they don't know what
they're talking about. They don't understand the world.
Maybe they understood the world at some time
and they don't understand it anymore, and now
we need a new interpretation.
Brothers and sisters, what's the basis for making
a judgment saying that you need a new
interpretation when you never bothered to learn the
old one in the first place?
Then in a reaction against these people,
we have even more dangerous group of people
who are what? People who say, I'm gonna
stand and become the defender of the faith
and the defender of and the defender of
knowledge
and the defender of tradition
and the defender of
and the defender of ill. And those people
also never they're the same as the first
group. Why? That they never bothered to learn
what that illness.
They never bothered to learn who those are.
They never bothered to learn what those old
ways that they're defending are.
And they think that merely by refuting and
shouting down,
other people that they're doing some sort of
service for the din. Brothers and sisters, the
people of Ba'tal refute one another.
Don't
they don't you don't need revelation for that.
The Jews refute the Christians. The Christians refute
the Jews. The atheists refute the,
Yahud and Nasara. The Yahud and Nasara,
they refute the atheists. The Buddhists and, Hindus,
they refute one another. Long tones in Sanskrit
about the virtues of idol worship or about
the lack of benefit in idol worship, whether
god exists, doesn't exist. These things have have
have been done without the need for for
any reference or recourse to the Quran or
to the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
Refuting falsehood is not gonna get you into
Jannah. What is going to get you into
Jannah? Knowing the haqq, knowing the truth, and
having it live inside of your heart.
And so what happens is that now we
have the the the leadership
and the awe and the attention and imagination
of the community is captured by people
who give good talks and can refute and
hack down all of these different groups.
Groups that you may not like, they hack
them down,
like a, like a, like a logger will
hack down a tree.
However,
they never bothered to learn
even the basic most basic sentence of Arabic
how to put the grammatical case endings on
it.
These people are just as much of an
enemy of the deen as the next person
is.
Why?
Because if you are the specialist in Aqida
and you don't know what the beliefs of
the Muslims are,
your heart is filled with somebody else's beliefs.
If you didn't learn what the fiqh of
the Muslims is, then you operate according to
a different fiqh.
There's no person who is born in this
world who by default the Sharia is programmed
into their heart. People are born on fitra,
yes, but the din needs to be learned
from its people. The only one who received
the din through through not needing to learn
is the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. He
received it through. Nobody else is going to
receive it through. Even then, he received it
externally. It wasn't something he generated from the
inside
Rather, he was the one Allah prepared him
to receive it in the best of ways.
See? The
he says that the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasalam
this story about his his chest being cut
open by the angels and his heart being
washed. It didn't happen one time, rather it
happened 4 times during the life of the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. What? So that
he could be prepared to receive this deen
that came to him.
All of us need to receive it from
the outside.
And the problem is what?
As identity politics. Because I was born and
my mom and dad told me I'm a
Muslim, so I grew up. In order for
my ego to be boosted, I need to
know that Islam is the the the greatest.
Islam is the best. Islam is,
you know, is is is
and is dominant over all other things. I
need to believe that because when I say
Islam, what do I mean? I mean me.
I need to In order to For my
ego to survive, I need to be able
to push Islam. And the fact of the
matter is Islam is the greatest.
The fact of the matter is that Islam
is dominant over all other things.
Not just in physical matters, in intellectual matters,
in spiritual matters in this world and in
the hereafter as well.
How are you going to proclaim it if
you don't understand what that Islam is?
And what happened what has happened is that
we've what? Replace the people who keep this
knowledge inside of their hearts
with people who have material
success
and have success according to metrics that were
not given to us by Allah, Herr Rasool,
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
Metrics like money,
metrics like political power, metrics like metrics like,
you know, the number of followers you have
on Facebook and Twitter. I remember one of
our,
very learned and pious man. He said to
me, he says, you know, sheikh so and
so is bigger than sheikh so and so.
I said, yeah. Why why do you say
that? He says, sheikh a, he has
a 10,000 followers on Twitter, and Sheikh b
has a 100,000 followers on Twitter. I said,
wow, man. That must be a really big
deal, man. That's he just it's a whole
scale of order that he outdid him. And
so the next the next day, I was
sitting on Twitter. I saw, a an account
called grumpy cat, And it's just pictures of
a cat grimacing. It's the same cat, in
fact.
Apparently, it was, like, subject to some copyright
issues and whatnot. It was in the news.
So I saw grumpy cat. So grumpy cat
has a 1000000 followers.
So by that by that standard, grumpy cat
is the Sheikh Al Islam. Grumpy cat is
the, like, Imam Mahdi of this ummah.
Why?
Because
has 10,000 followers,
has a 100,000, and grumpy cat has a1000000.
Show me how many ulama have a1000000 followers
on Twitter or on Facebook.
This is all nonsense. This is all nonsense.
All of it is is is what? It's
baqwas. It's nonsense.
Of Allah
on this earth. This is a warning for
all of us, for myself and for all
of us.
We have people, some of them even take
the outward
the outward appearance of the pious and the
righteous from the past. And they say the
speech of the pious and the righteous of
the past,
not including those who make mohalaf or those
who oppose it, inwardly or outwardly.
What have they brought us to? What have
they done?
This earth this earth that we live in
right now, we're right now in Chicago. Today
is a very pleasant day for us.
The whole rest of the world, look at
the heat map.
It's record breaking heat in every single country.
Crops are dying.
People are dying.
Animals are dying.
Why? It's all because of the facade that
human beings have made. Because of these
and and false metrics of what is success
that have been fed to us by people
who know nothing about the.
All they know is a small amount of
the dunya, and even that, that's an amount
that only pushes them towards stupidity.
The world is dying. Cities that right now
are cities. They're going to be underwater in
20 years. Watch.
Rasulullah
mentioned what? He mentioned what?
He mentioned that the the the the denizens
of the heavens and the denizens of the
earth, they constantly make dua to Allah
for the for the people
for
for the one who's teaching good and and
spreading good to the people.
And his he says what? That the
from the heavens of the
come down on 2 groups of people.
The one who constantly strives to clean his
own nafs from the the the filth and
the dirtiness of of the animal state of
a human being,
that you shouldn't be constantly
only concerned with what you eat and what
you drink. You shouldn't be a bear that
you walk around like, what is a snake?
You know what a snake is?
That thing will die literally or it will
suffocate something. The snake will eat it and
then 7, 8 days, all it does is
lay around. Why? Because all it is is
a head and it's a stomach. It doesn't
need anything else. Snake doesn't need to learn
how to paint, doesn't need to learn calligraphy,
doesn't need to learn how to sing, doesn't
need to be a nurturing and caring mother,
doesn't need to be a profound and deep
educator, doesn't need to make architecture. It doesn't
need any of that stuff.
They're human beings. What is their their their
paradigm and their their, example that they look
after how how to is a snake. All
it is is just consumption.
All it is is just consumption.
1 group of people, the one who constantly
purifies themselves from the the filth and the
dirtiness of the animal state of a human
being.
Very few people are there like that.
Very few people are there like that. I
admit I'm not one of them in front
of you. That one of you should not
say that, Yo Muqiyama, this man stood in
front of us and preached a good, a
a good, round of preaching, and we thought
that he was walking the walk. I'm just
merely the messenger.
The second group of people is who?
The person who is day and night is
running back and forth around what is Sahid?
Sahid, you could've been to Hajj and Umrah
before. Right? You go back and forth between
and Marwa. That a person should strive and
a person should move quickly back and forth
in what?
In in in rectifying those things that are
broken between people.
In healing the broken bonds of family, friendship,
in finding someone who has no job and
giving him a job, in finding somebody who
who's confused and and giving them some sort
of solace and peace, in doing something to
benefit other human beings.
These are the the the the the wadaif.
These are the jobs of the
the trustees of Allah, his rasul salallahu alayhi
wa sallam
amongst the creation of Allah.
This is breaking down. Muslims right now have
abandoned it just like the kuffar have abandoned
it. By Allah's fadul, the knowledge of this
of of what not to do is there.
It's preserved in the the ummah. As for
the nations of the the Muslim world, as
for the governments of the Muslim world, as
for the people of the Muslim world, as
for the attendees in the masajid and the
masajid themselves, we have abandoned these things.
So you see,
that Allah made these these animals in the
depths of the ocean
to what? To make dua. They're one of
the purposes of their creation is to make
dua and ask Allah
and, for for for blessings and to attract
the the mercy of Allah on
those in this in this ummah and in
this world that are doing good for that
are doing good for the creation and are
purifying themselves and keeping themselves in a clean
state and propagating that clean state. What's happening
right now?
Those trustees are what? Nobody's listening to them
or they themselves have checked out?
And you read paper stories in the newspaper
that they find whales beached
on the beaches in the shores of Europe
and in Asia and North America and South
America and all of these places, and they
pump 30 40
pounds of plastic out of the the the
stomach of, of a of a of a
of a of a will that's, like, 70,
80 feet long, enough plastic to kill him.
Who's drinking who's eating and drinking from those
plastic containers that are killing these animals?
You are and I am.
Gloves. Those are the people doing it.
Because what? My beta is a Hafiz, and
he's also making so much money in driving
this car.
My daughter is a Hafiz and a Aleema,
and she's also, you know,
made such a high in the dunya as
if the two things have any relationship with
one another.
Is a good person bad because they're poor?
Is a bad person good because they have
money
or because they consume some some sort of
level of consumption
that a person who Allah himself
describes in his book that they are like
cattle. In fact, they're even more misguided than
cattle.
This is what this is why Nawal Academy
teaching and
teaching people and all of these types of
things. This is why this is necessary. This
is what's needed.
This is what we need. We don't need
nut headed people running around and telling people,
oh, look. The the the dean has been
abandoned because we're not establishing the caliphate right
now. Brother, establish the caliphate. You don't even
know how to make right now.
Don't tell me about the caliphate. Is sitting
right here. He's sitting right in front of
you. What is the 1st year program in
Darul Qasim called? The one in which you
learn
and what you learn the 4, grammatical cases
and the 6,
you know,
the prototypes of the
paradigms of the mujarad and all of the
most basic things that you learned from for
for, what you call from.
What is the name of the program? It's
the program.
Janab, our people when is this? The Arabs
are gonna be upset, you know, because we're
not from India. You know?
In fact, we are who are actually are
from India, we're embarrassed that why I don't
wanna go to Sheikhil Hinn. It's not gonna
look cool in front of the Palestinians and
in front of the converts or whatever.
Who is Shekel Hind?
These are people they had a superlative
concern for what? For establishing
the divinely mandated order in this world.
If you look at their sacrifices
for the sake of what? Implementing the shara
of Allah ta'ala in the Darul Islam. If
you look at their sacrifices, what did they
go through? That
is literally sleeping in the cold nights of
the of the winter in Malta,
in a prison island, in solitary confinement,
sleeping, huddling a jar of water
so that his aged shaykh will die very
shortly after being released from prison if one
can say such people ever die.
That he used to sleep huddled around that,
that that that that that jar of water
so that his body heat would keep it
warm. So that when he woke up from
his sleep at night, that his he wouldn't,
become ill from making wudu for tahajjud from
cold water.
And now, what do we have? We have
people who are obsessed with the dunya. So
what the state inside the heart is and
what the state inside the mind is, whether
you know how to make or not, or
you know how to distribute a,
a, a miroth, or you know how to
distribute a, tariqa, a a, an estate after
someone passes away or not, Whether you know
enough about the law of buying and selling
and transactions,
forget about
starting an an entire country. Right? You don't
even know enough about the the law of
transactions in order to open a Jewel Osco.
You think it's a joke that vegetables every
day are coming and going? How much,
you know, how how do you get the
cash? Do you imagine can you think of
how much cash it costs just to keep
the the shelves stocked full of groceries in
the grocery store? People haven't thought of any
of these things that where you're gonna get
that cash from? How are you gonna run
any of these businesses? They haven't thought of
any of these things. These jokers, they come
around and they what? They they they they
give Khutba in the same Chicago that we
live in. Forget about it. We don't need
to talk bad about Iraq and Syria and
all of these other places. This Chicago that
we live in, they're giving the Eid al
Khutba, they're giving the Jumah Khutba, they're running
youth halakat inside of the masajid,
and they're telling the the kids what? The
ulema are all sellouts because they wasted their
time teaching Arabic grammar, and they didn't tell
people about the caliphate.
Well, brothers and sisters,
there's a group of people who didn't waste
their time, quote, unquote, on learning Arabic grammar.
They set up a caliphate in the backwoods
of a quote, unquote caliphate in the backwoods
of Iraq and Syria.
Forget about non Muslims. They killed more Muslims
than any Kafir government ever did.
Is that what we want? Is that what
the prophet
came that send the people, give them guns,
they don't know how to read the Surat
Al Fatiha and anybody they disagree with, they
call him a Catherine, shoot them on the
spot. They destroy Masajid next to the churches
that they destroy as well.
John of Damascus, he said this. The Muslims
are he was a courtier in the, Umayyad
court of Abdul Malik bin Marwan. He said
the Muslims are misguided people. We don't agree
with their religion. They screwed up Christianity. However,
they're good people. Their hearts are good, and
they didn't destroy one of our churches. In
fact, they're the ones who protect our churches
where the churches weren't protected from our, Roman
overlords from the past.
Is this what the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam came with?
That the sharia should come as a as
a means to, kill people and to destroy
people. Guess what? Kids from our own Chicago
want to join these nut headed groups.
What do all of them say? Our olamah
or salaos.
Now tell me, where did they get such
ideas from?
Where did they get such ideas from? Tell
me something about our ulema. There was a
time the Ottoman Empire passed. It wasn't that
long ago. There are still people alive
today that were alive during the time of
the Ottoman,
sultanate,
which was by no means a perfect system.
There is mistakes they made as well. Tell
me, during the Ottoman Empire, were whales coming
up dead with, like, £80 of plastic in
their stomach?
Was there global warming that they're debating whether
or not the the the, you know, sea
level should rise in the next 100 years
by 1 and a half meters or by
1 meter?
Were they were they debating whether the we
should keep the global warming at bay at,
3
degrees Celsius or 2 degrees Celsius or 1
and a half degrees Celsius? During the time
of the Ottoman Empire, was there any weapon
developed that can destroy
90% of the world's population in less time
it takes Domino's to deliver a pizza?
Absolutely not. This is the cost that we
pay for having abandoned for having abandoned this
knowledge. And this is the cost that we
pay for what? Those people who Allahu the
entrusted the ummah to. We turned our backs
on them.
And those people who were entrusted with that
ilm, they also have become slack in upholding
this and upholding this trust. Some of them,
not all of them. By Allah
we have amongst us some people that are
not like that.
This this this issue and this trust, this
is something that all of us have to
take seriously. All of us
will be asked about in front of Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala. That did we come and
use these people for our own benefits or
did we,
support these people in this work and did
we take this work from them? So
to wrap up what has already gone over
time by 5 minutes
for for not, you know, sending me a
check and try to hack me down. But
the the the the the summary is what
is that this knowledge is
important. And just because a person who has
no vision and who is blind, whether they
be Muslim or not,
we don't say that everybody who doesn't agree
with what we, say is not a Muslim.
But some people are blind to this this
reality
despite their Islam being legally valid and inshallah
acceptable from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. The ulema,
they write about this. Right? Ibnu
Mawaq, one of the great scholars of Granada,
he wrote a very beautiful book,
in which he describes 9 different stations of
those people who are going to be saved
on the day of judgment.
The lowest bracket or the highest bracket are
those people who will go straight to Jannah.
The middle bracket is those people who will,
those people who, Allah ta'ala will overlook their
sins. And the lowest bracket is those people
who'll be forgiven.
There are people from the lower bracket, we
don't hold a grudge against them or say
that they're not Muslims, but also we don't
take them as a role models in terms
of
deen. We don't take that. This is not
an insult to them. We just don't take
them as a set of role models for
deen. That that what we as people should
take that highest level of people as our
role models for deen, and we should entrust
them like Allah and His Rasool sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam entrusted them. And we should support
causes like this. If you're not able to
learn yourself, then fund somebody else to learn.
If you're not able to learn yourself, then
send your children to learn. If you're not
to learn yourself, then encourage and say a
good word to another to learn. If you
hear someone say something bad about thee, the
ulama who are the trustees of Allah and
his creation, then say this is not the
deen that that Allah and his Rasool salallahu
alaihi wa sallam sent down. This is not
the deen that I know. Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala raised from amongst this ummah, a group
of people, inshaAllah, from amongst the students of
Nawal Academy also, inshaAllah. A group of people
who will work to fix what's broken. That
the, you know, the the the the animals
no longer die from our ignorance. The the
the the the global warming that submerge cities,
that people no longer kill each other, people
no longer destroy their dunya and their deen
because of our what? Our our dereliction of
duty with regard to this,
regards to this, sacred, trust.
Waking is up to the reality
of what is, what the response to the
dilemma is, and
