			Brothers and sisters,
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:26
			this is a Mubarak occasion, and this is
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:27
			a a Mubarak work.
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:30
			The work of the dissemination
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:31
			of sacred knowledge,
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:34
			this is the work of the.
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:35
			Rasulullah
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:38
			said that the best of you are the
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:40
			ones who teach the Quran,
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:41
			the ones who learn the Quran, and the
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:42
			ones who teach it.
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:45
			And inside the
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:50
			inside the tent of this concept of teaching
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:52
			the Quran and learning it
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:57
			Reside all of the subsidiary sciences that are
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:58
			required in order to
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:00
			know and understand the Quran.
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:04
			The great amount of complexity, the great amount
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:05
			of detail
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:06
			that is
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:10
			resident inside of this tent,
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12
			it's something that boggles the mind of normal
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:13
			people.
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:15
			Normal people, when confronted with
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:19
			the sheer amount of information and the
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			sheer amount of
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:24
			knowledge that's required in order to
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:26
			in order to,
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:29
			keep all of this information in a way
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:30
			that
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:32
			is beneficial to a person,
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:34
			it's something that
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:36
			many people who are not acquainted with
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:40
			the the the the art and the skill
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:41
			of teaching and learning,
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:44
			they find it overwhelming the question what the
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:45
			point of it is.
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			Brothers and sisters, there is a point.
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:51
			Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, he's the one who
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:53
			designated what? That the or the
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:57
			that the scholars are the heirs of the
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:57
			prophets
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:01
			Who is your heir?
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:04
			Who inherits from you when you die?
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07
			In the sharia of Islam,
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:09
			when a person
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:12
			has an uncle, their cousin will not inherit.
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:14
			Why? Because the uncle is closer to them
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:15
			in relation.
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:17
			When a person has a brother, their uncle
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:19
			will not inherit. Why? Because the brother is
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:21
			closer to them in relation.
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:23
			When a person has a father or a
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:26
			son, then the brother will not inherit. Why?
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:28
			Because the father and son are closer to
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:29
			them in relation.
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:30
			So when Rasulullah
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:35
			says what? That the are the what is
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:37
			he trying to say?
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:39
			That the are the heirs of the prophet
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:43
			He's saying that in this, the ones whose
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:45
			state and status and how is closest to
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:46
			that of the prophet,
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:48
			who are they?
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:50
			They're the people of knowledge.
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:53
			And the knowledge meant here is not the
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:55
			knowledge of being a doctor. It's not the
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:57
			knowledge of being an engineer. It's not the
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:58
			knowledge of being a lawyer.
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:01
			Even though all of these knowledges are important,
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:04
			and all of them are a a a
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:07
			duty, a a kifaya, an communal obligation upon
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:08
			the
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:11
			to learn and preserve and benefit from.
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13
			However, these are not the things that are
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:14
			meant by,
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:17
			by the, references
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:19
			to knowledge both in the Quran and the
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:19
			sunnah of the prophet
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:21
			primarily.
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:24
			What's primarily meant? It's the knowledge of revelation.
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:27
			That someone should sit and learn from
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:31
			to the end of the alphabet, and that
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:33
			they should learn to read the Quran,
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:35
			and they should then learn the language of
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:37
			the Quran, then they should learn the grammar
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:40
			of the Quran, that they should then understand
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:40
			how to
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:44
			extract from it its rulings, both in the
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:46
			creed, the belief of a Muslim,
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:48
			which resides in the mind,
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:52
			and the Sharia, the sacred law, the fiqh,
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:53
			which resides on the limbs,
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:55
			and the
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:58
			and the of the deen, which resides inside
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:01
			of what? It resides inside of the spiritual
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:01
			heart.
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:04
			This is the job of those people who
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:05
			have this knowledge.
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:08
			Those people are described as how? They're described
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:11
			by the messenger of Allah, sallallahu alaihi wa
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:12
			sallam, as what?
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:16
			Imam ibn Abdul Bar. Qadhi ibn Abdul Bar.
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:19
			He was, Al Mullatta Be Hafiz and Masrib,
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:21
			that he was the Hafiz of the west.
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:24
			The west means what? The western Muslim lands.
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:26
			And the word Hafiz here doesn't mean that
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:28
			he can, masha'a, trade
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:30
			spaces with another,
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:33
			Hafiz and and speak through
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:35
			and make, like, only 3 or 4 mistakes
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:36
			every night. No.
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:39
			This doesn't mean that. This means somebody who
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:41
			has at least anecdotally memorized
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:44
			over a 100,000 hadith of the prophet sallallahu
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:45
			alaihi wa sallam,
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:47
			both in their text and in their chain
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:48
			of narration.
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:51
			Despite having lived after the Imam Bukhari and
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:52
			Imam Muslim,
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:55
			he doesn't need to quote hadith from Bukhari
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:56
			and Muslim. He has his own chains of
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:58
			narration that he quotes from. So
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:01
			from amongst the great number of beneficial books
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:03
			that he wrote, one of his books is
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:03
			called the,
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:06
			is called the the the book of the
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:07
			gathering of the
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:09
			virtues of
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:11
			knowledge. The virtues of knowledge. And he quotes
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:13
			a hadith of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:16
			sallam. And which said, Anas ibn Malik
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:26
			narrates That their ulema are who? They're the
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:28
			trustees of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:32
			when it comes to taking charge over the
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:34
			slaves of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:37
			The ulema are what? They're the trustees of
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:39
			the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. Who is
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:39
			Rasulullah?
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:42
			Rasulullah is a trustee of Allah ta'ala.
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:44
			And who are the ulema? They're the ones
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:47
			who the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam has
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:50
			entrusted that you take charge of the rebadah
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:52
			of of Allah ta'ala. You take charge of
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:54
			the slaves of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:57
			This is something that we don't take seriously
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:57
			anymore.
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:01
			This is something we don't take seriously anymore
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:01
			as a community.
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:05
			This is something that we sometimes Allah forgive
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:06
			us as students of knowledge
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:09
			and as people of knowledge, people who teach
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:10
			and learn
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:14
			daily for a living as our primary occupation.
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:17
			Oftentimes, we don't take these things seriously. Guess
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:19
			what? Rasulullah salallahu alaihi wa sallam took them
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:20
			seriously.
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:22
			He said that they're what? That they're the
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:25
			of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. They are the
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:28
			trustees of Allah ta'ala over his slaves as
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:29
			long as.
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:33
			Tadeh bin Abdul Bar, he writes in in
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:35
			in in clarification of what this means.
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:37
			But the prophet
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:39
			said that they are the trustees of this
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:42
			ummah. They're the trustees over the slaves of
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:44
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala as long as they
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:47
			don't mix with the mix with the government
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:49
			or mix with temporal power, temporal authority.
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:52
			Badi ibn Abdul Bar, he clarifies that this
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:55
			doesn't mean that every alim has to be
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:57
			far from centers of power and centers of
		
00:06:57 --> 00:07:00
			control and centers of of of of nifas,
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:04
			of execution of the sacred law of Islam.
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:07
			Rather, this is a warning not against temporal
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:10
			power. This is a warning against associating with
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:11
			corrupt power.
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:12
			Meaning what?
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:16
			Meaning, if you look at the prophet sallallahu
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:18
			alaihi wa sallam's life, who is the one
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:19
			who ran the government in Madinah during his
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:20
			life?
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:22
			He didn't say, no. We have no nothing
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:24
			to do with the dunya. We're just gonna
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:26
			sit and pray and say, you know, allah
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:28
			allah in the corner, and we're going to,
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:30
			just leave that to the the people of
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:32
			the dunya. No. Rasulullah sallahu alaihi wa sallam
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:34
			prayed, and his prayer is better than our
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:34
			prayer.
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:36
			And he sat and made zikr Allah. Allah,
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:38
			his zikr was better than our zikr. And
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:41
			he also took the reins of society and
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:43
			made it a better place, and it was
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:44
			a better society than our society.
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:47
			And after him, say the Abu Bakr Siddiq
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:50
			who is the best of this ummah after
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:53
			the messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:55
			by the consensus of the people of guidance
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:56
			as a matter of
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:59
			and after him, say, and after him, say,
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:01
			and after him, say,
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:07
			This is what? This is the complete implementation
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:09
			of Islam. This is the meaning of this.
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:11
			This is the meaning of this, hadith of
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:13
			the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, that they
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:15
			were the trustees of the messenger of Allah
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:17
			sallallahu alaihi wa sallam over the slaves of,
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:18
			of Allah as
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:20
			long as they don't
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:24
			mix with tyrants, mix with the temporal authority
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:26
			and the temporal power that uses that power
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:27
			for wrong.
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:32
			Continues in the hadith as is narrated by,
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:42
			That if they do that, if you see
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:44
			people of knowledge who take this knowledge with
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:47
			them and they then go in front of
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:49
			the kings and the princes, the governors, the
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:52
			presidents, the prime ministers, the people of money,
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:54
			and they what? They they beg at that
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:55
			that threshold
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:59
			rather than telling them and instructing them in
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:01
			in how to care for the creation of
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:03
			Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, you see them begging,
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:05
			You see them making ruku and sajdah in
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:06
			those places.
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:08
			Then Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said, in
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:10
			that case, as an exception, what should you
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:13
			do? He says that what? He said that
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:14
			those people in that case,
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:17
			that they have they have
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:20
			shown treachery to not just the prophet
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:24
			to all of the messengers of Allah sallallahu
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:25
			alaihi musaatoasalaam.
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:27
			In that case, they've shown treachery to all
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:29
			of the messengers of Allah alaihi musaatoasalaam.
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:32
			And in that case, what should you do?
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:34
			You should be weary of them. You should
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:35
			be afraid of them, what's gonna come from
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:37
			their mouth, and you should stay away from
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:39
			them. Don't sit in their masj list. Don't
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:41
			give money to their projects, don't read their
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:44
			books and their articles, don't promote them what
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:46
			they have to say. Stay away from them.
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:48
			Cut yourself, cut your ties between you and
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:49
			between them.
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:52
			And by Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala's fadl, there
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:54
			is in the ummah of the prophet sallallahu
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:56
			alaihi wa sallam as a matter of and
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:58
			as a matter of iman, a group of
		
00:09:58 --> 00:10:00
			people who will be
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:02
			the inheritors of the prophet
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:05
			and the ones that are entrusted with this
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:06
			deen
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:08
			from Allah to Allah to the rest of
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:10
			Rasul sallallahu alaihi wa sallam and from the
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:11
			Rasul sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:15
			to the ummah of the prophet
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:18
			from the time of all the way until
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:18
			the
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:21
			that group of people will be there, and
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:24
			it's mentioned in Sahih Bukhari amongst a number
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:26
			of other books of hadith that what? Those
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:28
			people will be. Those people will always be
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:30
			there. They will be someone if you look
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:32
			for them, you'll find them. There'll be people
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:34
			who will not be hidden. They're not going
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:36
			to be hidden in a closet, and they're
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:37
			gonna say that, oh, you know, every one
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:39
			of the for the last 4 centuries and
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:41
			for the last 10 centuries has been wrong
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:43
			except for me. I'm the one who,
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:46
			preserves the special sacred knowledge of the imam
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:47
			of this and that, and now I'm gonna
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:49
			divulge a secret to you that everybody didn't
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:50
			know about. No. That they're
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:54
			They're openly proclaiming the truth, and in and
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:54
			and in
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:00
			that the ones that that that oppose those
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:02
			people the ones that oppose those people, they're
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:04
			not going to be able to harm them.
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:06
			Now why is it in this occasion I
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:08
			wanted to bring up this this this topic
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:09
			and this treatment,
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:12
			with regards to the Haq Abdul Ullama? It's,
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:14
			in many ways, a very pro form a
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:17
			type of speech for a gathering like this.
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:20
			The reason is what? The reason is that
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:22
			we have now so many groups, the the
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:25
			the the community in North America
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:27
			and the English speaking Muslim community across the
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:29
			world, throughout Europe and throughout,
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:30
			the enfranchised,
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:32
			westernized and anglophilic,
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:37
			minorities inside of the Muslim world. We see
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:39
			people are breaking up into these different groups.
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:42
			They're breaking up into these different groups. So
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:44
			one of them is what? Our ulama from
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:46
			the past, they're they they don't know what
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:49
			they're talking about. They don't understand the world.
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:51
			Maybe they understood the world at some time
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:53
			and they don't understand it anymore, and now
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:54
			we need a new interpretation.
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:59
			Brothers and sisters, what's the basis for making
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:00
			a judgment saying that you need a new
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:02
			interpretation when you never bothered to learn the
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:04
			old one in the first place?
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:08
			Then in a reaction against these people,
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:10
			we have even more dangerous group of people
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:13
			who are what? People who say, I'm gonna
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:15
			stand and become the defender of the faith
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:17
			and the defender of and the defender of
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:17
			knowledge
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:19
			and the defender of tradition
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:21
			and the defender of
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:24
			and the defender of ill. And those people
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:27
			also never they're the same as the first
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:29
			group. Why? That they never bothered to learn
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:30
			what that illness.
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:33
			They never bothered to learn who those are.
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:36
			They never bothered to learn what those old
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:37
			ways that they're defending are.
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:40
			And they think that merely by refuting and
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:40
			shouting down,
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:43
			other people that they're doing some sort of
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:45
			service for the din. Brothers and sisters, the
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:47
			people of Ba'tal refute one another.
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:50
			Don't
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:52
			they don't you don't need revelation for that.
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:53
			The Jews refute the Christians. The Christians refute
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:55
			the Jews. The atheists refute the,
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:58
			Yahud and Nasara. The Yahud and Nasara,
		
00:12:58 --> 00:13:01
			they refute the atheists. The Buddhists and, Hindus,
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:03
			they refute one another. Long tones in Sanskrit
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:06
			about the virtues of idol worship or about
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:10
			the lack of benefit in idol worship, whether
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:13
			god exists, doesn't exist. These things have have
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:15
			have been done without the need for for
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:18
			any reference or recourse to the Quran or
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:20
			to the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:23
			Refuting falsehood is not gonna get you into
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:24
			Jannah. What is going to get you into
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:27
			Jannah? Knowing the haqq, knowing the truth, and
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:29
			having it live inside of your heart.
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:31
			And so what happens is that now we
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:32
			have the the the leadership
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:36
			and the awe and the attention and imagination
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:39
			of the community is captured by people
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:42
			who give good talks and can refute and
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:44
			hack down all of these different groups.
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:47
			Groups that you may not like, they hack
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:48
			them down,
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:51
			like a, like a, like a logger will
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:52
			hack down a tree.
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:54
			However,
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:56
			they never bothered to learn
		
00:13:57 --> 00:13:59
			even the basic most basic sentence of Arabic
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:01
			how to put the grammatical case endings on
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:02
			it.
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:05
			These people are just as much of an
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:06
			enemy of the deen as the next person
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:07
			is.
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:08
			Why?
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:12
			Because if you are the specialist in Aqida
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:13
			and you don't know what the beliefs of
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:14
			the Muslims are,
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:17
			your heart is filled with somebody else's beliefs.
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:19
			If you didn't learn what the fiqh of
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:22
			the Muslims is, then you operate according to
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:23
			a different fiqh.
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:25
			There's no person who is born in this
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:28
			world who by default the Sharia is programmed
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:31
			into their heart. People are born on fitra,
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:33
			yes, but the din needs to be learned
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:35
			from its people. The only one who received
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:37
			the din through through not needing to learn
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:40
			is the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. He
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:42
			received it through. Nobody else is going to
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:44
			receive it through. Even then, he received it
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:46
			externally. It wasn't something he generated from the
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:47
			inside
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:50
			Rather, he was the one Allah prepared him
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:52
			to receive it in the best of ways.
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:53
			See? The
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:57
			he says that the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasalam
		
00:14:57 --> 00:15:00
			this story about his his chest being cut
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:01
			open by the angels and his heart being
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:04
			washed. It didn't happen one time, rather it
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:05
			happened 4 times during the life of the
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:07
			prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. What? So that
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:09
			he could be prepared to receive this deen
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:10
			that came to him.
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:14
			All of us need to receive it from
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:14
			the outside.
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:16
			And the problem is what?
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:19
			As identity politics. Because I was born and
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:20
			my mom and dad told me I'm a
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:22
			Muslim, so I grew up. In order for
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:24
			my ego to be boosted, I need to
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:26
			know that Islam is the the the greatest.
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:28
			Islam is the best. Islam is,
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:30
			you know, is is is
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:34
			and is dominant over all other things. I
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:35
			need to believe that because when I say
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:37
			Islam, what do I mean? I mean me.
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:40
			I need to In order to For my
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:42
			ego to survive, I need to be able
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:43
			to push Islam. And the fact of the
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:45
			matter is Islam is the greatest.
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:47
			The fact of the matter is that Islam
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:49
			is dominant over all other things.
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:52
			Not just in physical matters, in intellectual matters,
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:54
			in spiritual matters in this world and in
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:55
			the hereafter as well.
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:57
			How are you going to proclaim it if
		
00:15:57 --> 00:15:59
			you don't understand what that Islam is?
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:02
			And what happened what has happened is that
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:04
			we've what? Replace the people who keep this
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:05
			knowledge inside of their hearts
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:07
			with people who have material
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:08
			success
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:11
			and have success according to metrics that were
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:13
			not given to us by Allah, Herr Rasool,
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:14
			sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:16
			Metrics like money,
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:20
			metrics like political power, metrics like metrics like,
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:23
			you know, the number of followers you have
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:25
			on Facebook and Twitter. I remember one of
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:25
			our,
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:28
			very learned and pious man. He said to
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:30
			me, he says, you know, sheikh so and
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:31
			so is bigger than sheikh so and so.
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:33
			I said, yeah. Why why do you say
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:35
			that? He says, sheikh a, he has
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:40
			a 10,000 followers on Twitter, and Sheikh b
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:43
			has a 100,000 followers on Twitter. I said,
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:45
			wow, man. That must be a really big
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:47
			deal, man. That's he just it's a whole
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:50
			scale of order that he outdid him. And
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:51
			so the next the next day, I was
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:54
			sitting on Twitter. I saw, a an account
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:56
			called grumpy cat, And it's just pictures of
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:58
			a cat grimacing. It's the same cat, in
		
00:16:58 --> 00:16:58
			fact.
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:02
			Apparently, it was, like, subject to some copyright
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:03
			issues and whatnot. It was in the news.
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:06
			So I saw grumpy cat. So grumpy cat
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:07
			has a 1000000 followers.
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:10
			So by that by that standard, grumpy cat
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:11
			is the Sheikh Al Islam. Grumpy cat is
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:13
			the, like, Imam Mahdi of this ummah.
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:14
			Why?
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:15
			Because
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:17
			has 10,000 followers,
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:21
			has a 100,000, and grumpy cat has a1000000.
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:24
			Show me how many ulama have a1000000 followers
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:25
			on Twitter or on Facebook.
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:28
			This is all nonsense. This is all nonsense.
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:30
			All of it is is is what? It's
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:31
			baqwas. It's nonsense.
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:34
			Of Allah
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:37
			on this earth. This is a warning for
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:38
			all of us, for myself and for all
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:39
			of us.
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:42
			We have people, some of them even take
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:43
			the outward
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:45
			the outward appearance of the pious and the
		
00:17:45 --> 00:17:48
			righteous from the past. And they say the
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:49
			speech of the pious and the righteous of
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:50
			the past,
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:54
			not including those who make mohalaf or those
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:56
			who oppose it, inwardly or outwardly.
		
00:17:57 --> 00:17:59
			What have they brought us to? What have
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:00
			they done?
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:03
			This earth this earth that we live in
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:05
			right now, we're right now in Chicago. Today
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:07
			is a very pleasant day for us.
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:09
			The whole rest of the world, look at
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:10
			the heat map.
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:13
			It's record breaking heat in every single country.
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:15
			Crops are dying.
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:18
			People are dying.
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:20
			Animals are dying.
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:23
			Why? It's all because of the facade that
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:25
			human beings have made. Because of these
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:28
			and and false metrics of what is success
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:31
			that have been fed to us by people
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:32
			who know nothing about the.
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:35
			All they know is a small amount of
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:37
			the dunya, and even that, that's an amount
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:39
			that only pushes them towards stupidity.
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:43
			The world is dying. Cities that right now
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:45
			are cities. They're going to be underwater in
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:46
			20 years. Watch.
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:48
			Rasulullah
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:51
			mentioned what? He mentioned what?
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:55
			He mentioned that the the the the denizens
		
00:18:55 --> 00:18:57
			of the heavens and the denizens of the
		
00:18:57 --> 00:18:59
			earth, they constantly make dua to Allah
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:02
			for the for the people
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:03
			for
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:06
			for the one who's teaching good and and
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:07
			spreading good to the people.
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:12
			And his he says what? That the
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:13
			from the heavens of the
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:15
			come down on 2 groups of people.
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:21
			The one who constantly strives to clean his
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:24
			own nafs from the the the filth and
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:26
			the dirtiness of of the animal state of
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:27
			a human being,
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:29
			that you shouldn't be constantly
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:31
			only concerned with what you eat and what
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:33
			you drink. You shouldn't be a bear that
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:35
			you walk around like, what is a snake?
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:36
			You know what a snake is?
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:46
			That thing will die literally or it will
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:48
			suffocate something. The snake will eat it and
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:50
			then 7, 8 days, all it does is
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:52
			lay around. Why? Because all it is is
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:53
			a head and it's a stomach. It doesn't
		
00:19:53 --> 00:19:56
			need anything else. Snake doesn't need to learn
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:58
			how to paint, doesn't need to learn calligraphy,
		
00:19:58 --> 00:20:00
			doesn't need to learn how to sing, doesn't
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:02
			need to be a nurturing and caring mother,
		
00:20:02 --> 00:20:03
			doesn't need to be a profound and deep
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:06
			educator, doesn't need to make architecture. It doesn't
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:07
			need any of that stuff.
		
00:20:07 --> 00:20:10
			They're human beings. What is their their their
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:12
			paradigm and their their, example that they look
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:14
			after how how to is a snake. All
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:15
			it is is just consumption.
		
00:20:16 --> 00:20:18
			All it is is just consumption.
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:23
			1 group of people, the one who constantly
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:25
			purifies themselves from the the filth and the
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:27
			dirtiness of the animal state of a human
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:28
			being.
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:30
			Very few people are there like that.
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:33
			Very few people are there like that. I
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:34
			admit I'm not one of them in front
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:35
			of you. That one of you should not
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:37
			say that, Yo Muqiyama, this man stood in
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:40
			front of us and preached a good, a
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:41
			a good, round of preaching, and we thought
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:44
			that he was walking the walk. I'm just
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:45
			merely the messenger.
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:47
			The second group of people is who?
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:51
			The person who is day and night is
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:53
			running back and forth around what is Sahid?
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:55
			Sahid, you could've been to Hajj and Umrah
		
00:20:55 --> 00:20:57
			before. Right? You go back and forth between
		
00:20:57 --> 00:20:59
			and Marwa. That a person should strive and
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:02
			a person should move quickly back and forth
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:02
			in what?
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:05
			In in in rectifying those things that are
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:06
			broken between people.
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:09
			In healing the broken bonds of family, friendship,
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:11
			in finding someone who has no job and
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:13
			giving him a job, in finding somebody who
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:15
			who's confused and and giving them some sort
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:17
			of solace and peace, in doing something to
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:18
			benefit other human beings.
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:21
			These are the the the the the wadaif.
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:23
			These are the jobs of the
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:26
			the trustees of Allah, his rasul salallahu alayhi
		
00:21:26 --> 00:21:27
			wa sallam
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:29
			amongst the creation of Allah.
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:33
			This is breaking down. Muslims right now have
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:36
			abandoned it just like the kuffar have abandoned
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:38
			it. By Allah's fadul, the knowledge of this
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:40
			of of what not to do is there.
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:43
			It's preserved in the the ummah. As for
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:45
			the nations of the the Muslim world, as
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:47
			for the governments of the Muslim world, as
		
00:21:47 --> 00:21:49
			for the people of the Muslim world, as
		
00:21:49 --> 00:21:50
			for the attendees in the masajid and the
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:53
			masajid themselves, we have abandoned these things.
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:54
			So you see,
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:58
			that Allah made these these animals in the
		
00:21:58 --> 00:21:59
			depths of the ocean
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:02
			to what? To make dua. They're one of
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:03
			the purposes of their creation is to make
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:05
			dua and ask Allah
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:08
			and, for for for blessings and to attract
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:10
			the the mercy of Allah on
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:13
			those in this in this ummah and in
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:15
			this world that are doing good for that
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:17
			are doing good for the creation and are
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:19
			purifying themselves and keeping themselves in a clean
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:22
			state and propagating that clean state. What's happening
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:23
			right now?
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:26
			Those trustees are what? Nobody's listening to them
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:28
			or they themselves have checked out?
		
00:22:29 --> 00:22:31
			And you read paper stories in the newspaper
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:34
			that they find whales beached
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:36
			on the beaches in the shores of Europe
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:38
			and in Asia and North America and South
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:40
			America and all of these places, and they
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:41
			pump 30 40
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:44
			pounds of plastic out of the the the
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:46
			stomach of, of a of a of a
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:48
			of a of a will that's, like, 70,
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:51
			80 feet long, enough plastic to kill him.
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:53
			Who's drinking who's eating and drinking from those
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:56
			plastic containers that are killing these animals?
		
00:22:58 --> 00:22:59
			You are and I am.
		
00:23:03 --> 00:23:05
			Gloves. Those are the people doing it.
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:08
			Because what? My beta is a Hafiz, and
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:10
			he's also making so much money in driving
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:11
			this car.
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:14
			My daughter is a Hafiz and a Aleema,
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:15
			and she's also, you know,
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:17
			made such a high in the dunya as
		
00:23:17 --> 00:23:19
			if the two things have any relationship with
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:20
			one another.
		
00:23:21 --> 00:23:23
			Is a good person bad because they're poor?
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:26
			Is a bad person good because they have
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:27
			money
		
00:23:27 --> 00:23:30
			or because they consume some some sort of
		
00:23:30 --> 00:23:31
			level of consumption
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:33
			that a person who Allah himself
		
00:23:34 --> 00:23:36
			describes in his book that they are like
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:38
			cattle. In fact, they're even more misguided than
		
00:23:38 --> 00:23:38
			cattle.
		
00:23:41 --> 00:23:44
			This is what this is why Nawal Academy
		
00:23:44 --> 00:23:45
			teaching and
		
00:23:49 --> 00:23:52
			teaching people and all of these types of
		
00:23:52 --> 00:23:54
			things. This is why this is necessary. This
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:55
			is what's needed.
		
00:23:55 --> 00:23:57
			This is what we need. We don't need
		
00:23:57 --> 00:23:59
			nut headed people running around and telling people,
		
00:23:59 --> 00:24:01
			oh, look. The the the dean has been
		
00:24:01 --> 00:24:04
			abandoned because we're not establishing the caliphate right
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:07
			now. Brother, establish the caliphate. You don't even
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:08
			know how to make right now.
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:10
			Don't tell me about the caliphate. Is sitting
		
00:24:10 --> 00:24:12
			right here. He's sitting right in front of
		
00:24:12 --> 00:24:14
			you. What is the 1st year program in
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:16
			Darul Qasim called? The one in which you
		
00:24:17 --> 00:24:17
			learn
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:20
			and what you learn the 4, grammatical cases
		
00:24:20 --> 00:24:21
			and the 6,
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:22
			you know,
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:24
			the prototypes of the
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:26
			paradigms of the mujarad and all of the
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:29
			most basic things that you learned from for
		
00:24:29 --> 00:24:30
			for, what you call from.
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:32
			What is the name of the program? It's
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:33
			the program.
		
00:24:34 --> 00:24:37
			Janab, our people when is this? The Arabs
		
00:24:37 --> 00:24:38
			are gonna be upset, you know, because we're
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:39
			not from India. You know?
		
00:24:40 --> 00:24:42
			In fact, we are who are actually are
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:44
			from India, we're embarrassed that why I don't
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:45
			wanna go to Sheikhil Hinn. It's not gonna
		
00:24:45 --> 00:24:47
			look cool in front of the Palestinians and
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:49
			in front of the converts or whatever.
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:51
			Who is Shekel Hind?
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:53
			These are people they had a superlative
		
00:24:53 --> 00:24:56
			concern for what? For establishing
		
00:24:56 --> 00:24:59
			the divinely mandated order in this world.
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:01
			If you look at their sacrifices
		
00:25:02 --> 00:25:04
			for the sake of what? Implementing the shara
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:07
			of Allah ta'ala in the Darul Islam. If
		
00:25:07 --> 00:25:09
			you look at their sacrifices, what did they
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:10
			go through? That
		
00:25:12 --> 00:25:15
			is literally sleeping in the cold nights of
		
00:25:15 --> 00:25:17
			the of the winter in Malta,
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:19
			in a prison island, in solitary confinement,
		
00:25:20 --> 00:25:22
			sleeping, huddling a jar of water
		
00:25:22 --> 00:25:25
			so that his aged shaykh will die very
		
00:25:25 --> 00:25:28
			shortly after being released from prison if one
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:29
			can say such people ever die.
		
00:25:30 --> 00:25:33
			That he used to sleep huddled around that,
		
00:25:33 --> 00:25:35
			that that that that that jar of water
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:37
			so that his body heat would keep it
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:39
			warm. So that when he woke up from
		
00:25:39 --> 00:25:41
			his sleep at night, that his he wouldn't,
		
00:25:42 --> 00:25:44
			become ill from making wudu for tahajjud from
		
00:25:44 --> 00:25:45
			cold water.
		
00:25:46 --> 00:25:48
			And now, what do we have? We have
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:50
			people who are obsessed with the dunya. So
		
00:25:50 --> 00:25:52
			what the state inside the heart is and
		
00:25:52 --> 00:25:54
			what the state inside the mind is, whether
		
00:25:54 --> 00:25:55
			you know how to make or not, or
		
00:25:55 --> 00:25:57
			you know how to distribute a,
		
00:25:57 --> 00:25:59
			a, a miroth, or you know how to
		
00:25:59 --> 00:26:02
			distribute a, tariqa, a a, an estate after
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:05
			someone passes away or not, Whether you know
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:07
			enough about the law of buying and selling
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:07
			and transactions,
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:09
			forget about
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:12
			starting an an entire country. Right? You don't
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:14
			even know enough about the the law of
		
00:26:14 --> 00:26:16
			transactions in order to open a Jewel Osco.
		
00:26:18 --> 00:26:20
			You think it's a joke that vegetables every
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:22
			day are coming and going? How much,
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:24
			you know, how how do you get the
		
00:26:24 --> 00:26:26
			cash? Do you imagine can you think of
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:28
			how much cash it costs just to keep
		
00:26:28 --> 00:26:31
			the the shelves stocked full of groceries in
		
00:26:31 --> 00:26:33
			the grocery store? People haven't thought of any
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:34
			of these things that where you're gonna get
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:35
			that cash from? How are you gonna run
		
00:26:35 --> 00:26:37
			any of these businesses? They haven't thought of
		
00:26:37 --> 00:26:39
			any of these things. These jokers, they come
		
00:26:39 --> 00:26:41
			around and they what? They they they they
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:43
			give Khutba in the same Chicago that we
		
00:26:43 --> 00:26:44
			live in. Forget about it. We don't need
		
00:26:44 --> 00:26:45
			to talk bad about Iraq and Syria and
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:47
			all of these other places. This Chicago that
		
00:26:47 --> 00:26:49
			we live in, they're giving the Eid al
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:51
			Khutba, they're giving the Jumah Khutba, they're running
		
00:26:51 --> 00:26:53
			youth halakat inside of the masajid,
		
00:26:53 --> 00:26:55
			and they're telling the the kids what? The
		
00:26:55 --> 00:26:57
			ulema are all sellouts because they wasted their
		
00:26:57 --> 00:27:00
			time teaching Arabic grammar, and they didn't tell
		
00:27:00 --> 00:27:01
			people about the caliphate.
		
00:27:02 --> 00:27:03
			Well, brothers and sisters,
		
00:27:04 --> 00:27:06
			there's a group of people who didn't waste
		
00:27:06 --> 00:27:08
			their time, quote, unquote, on learning Arabic grammar.
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:09
			They set up a caliphate in the backwoods
		
00:27:09 --> 00:27:12
			of a quote, unquote caliphate in the backwoods
		
00:27:12 --> 00:27:13
			of Iraq and Syria.
		
00:27:13 --> 00:27:15
			Forget about non Muslims. They killed more Muslims
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:17
			than any Kafir government ever did.
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:18
			Is that what we want? Is that what
		
00:27:18 --> 00:27:19
			the prophet
		
00:27:20 --> 00:27:22
			came that send the people, give them guns,
		
00:27:22 --> 00:27:23
			they don't know how to read the Surat
		
00:27:23 --> 00:27:25
			Al Fatiha and anybody they disagree with, they
		
00:27:25 --> 00:27:26
			call him a Catherine, shoot them on the
		
00:27:26 --> 00:27:29
			spot. They destroy Masajid next to the churches
		
00:27:29 --> 00:27:31
			that they destroy as well.
		
00:27:31 --> 00:27:33
			John of Damascus, he said this. The Muslims
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:36
			are he was a courtier in the, Umayyad
		
00:27:36 --> 00:27:38
			court of Abdul Malik bin Marwan. He said
		
00:27:38 --> 00:27:40
			the Muslims are misguided people. We don't agree
		
00:27:40 --> 00:27:43
			with their religion. They screwed up Christianity. However,
		
00:27:43 --> 00:27:45
			they're good people. Their hearts are good, and
		
00:27:45 --> 00:27:47
			they didn't destroy one of our churches. In
		
00:27:47 --> 00:27:49
			fact, they're the ones who protect our churches
		
00:27:49 --> 00:27:51
			where the churches weren't protected from our, Roman
		
00:27:51 --> 00:27:53
			overlords from the past.
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:56
			Is this what the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
		
00:27:56 --> 00:27:57
			sallam came with?
		
00:27:58 --> 00:27:59
			That the sharia should come as a as
		
00:27:59 --> 00:28:02
			a means to, kill people and to destroy
		
00:28:02 --> 00:28:04
			people. Guess what? Kids from our own Chicago
		
00:28:04 --> 00:28:06
			want to join these nut headed groups.
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:08
			What do all of them say? Our olamah
		
00:28:08 --> 00:28:09
			or salaos.
		
00:28:09 --> 00:28:11
			Now tell me, where did they get such
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:12
			ideas from?
		
00:28:12 --> 00:28:14
			Where did they get such ideas from? Tell
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:16
			me something about our ulema. There was a
		
00:28:16 --> 00:28:18
			time the Ottoman Empire passed. It wasn't that
		
00:28:18 --> 00:28:20
			long ago. There are still people alive
		
00:28:21 --> 00:28:23
			today that were alive during the time of
		
00:28:23 --> 00:28:24
			the Ottoman,
		
00:28:24 --> 00:28:25
			sultanate,
		
00:28:25 --> 00:28:27
			which was by no means a perfect system.
		
00:28:27 --> 00:28:29
			There is mistakes they made as well. Tell
		
00:28:29 --> 00:28:32
			me, during the Ottoman Empire, were whales coming
		
00:28:32 --> 00:28:34
			up dead with, like, £80 of plastic in
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:35
			their stomach?
		
00:28:35 --> 00:28:37
			Was there global warming that they're debating whether
		
00:28:37 --> 00:28:39
			or not the the the, you know, sea
		
00:28:39 --> 00:28:42
			level should rise in the next 100 years
		
00:28:42 --> 00:28:43
			by 1 and a half meters or by
		
00:28:43 --> 00:28:44
			1 meter?
		
00:28:44 --> 00:28:46
			Were they were they debating whether the we
		
00:28:46 --> 00:28:49
			should keep the global warming at bay at,
		
00:28:49 --> 00:28:50
			3
		
00:28:50 --> 00:28:52
			degrees Celsius or 2 degrees Celsius or 1
		
00:28:52 --> 00:28:54
			and a half degrees Celsius? During the time
		
00:28:54 --> 00:28:56
			of the Ottoman Empire, was there any weapon
		
00:28:56 --> 00:28:58
			developed that can destroy
		
00:28:58 --> 00:29:01
			90% of the world's population in less time
		
00:29:01 --> 00:29:03
			it takes Domino's to deliver a pizza?
		
00:29:04 --> 00:29:06
			Absolutely not. This is the cost that we
		
00:29:06 --> 00:29:08
			pay for having abandoned for having abandoned this
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:10
			knowledge. And this is the cost that we
		
00:29:10 --> 00:29:12
			pay for what? Those people who Allahu the
		
00:29:12 --> 00:29:15
			entrusted the ummah to. We turned our backs
		
00:29:15 --> 00:29:15
			on them.
		
00:29:17 --> 00:29:19
			And those people who were entrusted with that
		
00:29:19 --> 00:29:21
			ilm, they also have become slack in upholding
		
00:29:21 --> 00:29:23
			this and upholding this trust. Some of them,
		
00:29:23 --> 00:29:25
			not all of them. By Allah
		
00:29:26 --> 00:29:28
			we have amongst us some people that are
		
00:29:28 --> 00:29:28
			not like that.
		
00:29:32 --> 00:29:35
			This this this issue and this trust, this
		
00:29:35 --> 00:29:36
			is something that all of us have to
		
00:29:36 --> 00:29:38
			take seriously. All of us
		
00:29:40 --> 00:29:40
			will be asked about in front of Allah
		
00:29:40 --> 00:29:41
			subhanahu wa ta'ala. That did we come and
		
00:29:41 --> 00:29:43
			use these people for our own benefits or
		
00:29:43 --> 00:29:44
			did we,
		
00:29:44 --> 00:29:46
			support these people in this work and did
		
00:29:46 --> 00:29:48
			we take this work from them? So
		
00:29:48 --> 00:29:50
			to wrap up what has already gone over
		
00:29:50 --> 00:29:51
			time by 5 minutes
		
00:29:53 --> 00:29:56
			for for not, you know, sending me a
		
00:29:56 --> 00:29:58
			check and try to hack me down. But
		
00:29:58 --> 00:30:00
			the the the the the summary is what
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:01
			is that this knowledge is
		
00:30:02 --> 00:30:03
			important. And just because a person who has
		
00:30:03 --> 00:30:05
			no vision and who is blind, whether they
		
00:30:05 --> 00:30:06
			be Muslim or not,
		
00:30:07 --> 00:30:09
			we don't say that everybody who doesn't agree
		
00:30:09 --> 00:30:11
			with what we, say is not a Muslim.
		
00:30:11 --> 00:30:13
			But some people are blind to this this
		
00:30:13 --> 00:30:14
			reality
		
00:30:14 --> 00:30:16
			despite their Islam being legally valid and inshallah
		
00:30:16 --> 00:30:19
			acceptable from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. The ulema,
		
00:30:19 --> 00:30:21
			they write about this. Right? Ibnu
		
00:30:21 --> 00:30:24
			Mawaq, one of the great scholars of Granada,
		
00:30:24 --> 00:30:25
			he wrote a very beautiful book,
		
00:30:26 --> 00:30:29
			in which he describes 9 different stations of
		
00:30:29 --> 00:30:31
			those people who are going to be saved
		
00:30:31 --> 00:30:32
			on the day of judgment.
		
00:30:32 --> 00:30:34
			The lowest bracket or the highest bracket are
		
00:30:34 --> 00:30:36
			those people who will go straight to Jannah.
		
00:30:36 --> 00:30:39
			The middle bracket is those people who will,
		
00:30:39 --> 00:30:42
			those people who, Allah ta'ala will overlook their
		
00:30:42 --> 00:30:44
			sins. And the lowest bracket is those people
		
00:30:44 --> 00:30:45
			who'll be forgiven.
		
00:30:48 --> 00:30:50
			There are people from the lower bracket, we
		
00:30:50 --> 00:30:51
			don't hold a grudge against them or say
		
00:30:51 --> 00:30:53
			that they're not Muslims, but also we don't
		
00:30:53 --> 00:30:55
			take them as a role models in terms
		
00:30:55 --> 00:30:55
			of
		
00:30:56 --> 00:30:57
			deen. We don't take that. This is not
		
00:30:57 --> 00:30:58
			an insult to them. We just don't take
		
00:30:58 --> 00:31:00
			them as a set of role models for
		
00:31:00 --> 00:31:02
			deen. That that what we as people should
		
00:31:02 --> 00:31:04
			take that highest level of people as our
		
00:31:04 --> 00:31:06
			role models for deen, and we should entrust
		
00:31:06 --> 00:31:08
			them like Allah and His Rasool sallallahu alaihi
		
00:31:08 --> 00:31:11
			wa sallam entrusted them. And we should support
		
00:31:11 --> 00:31:13
			causes like this. If you're not able to
		
00:31:13 --> 00:31:15
			learn yourself, then fund somebody else to learn.
		
00:31:15 --> 00:31:17
			If you're not able to learn yourself, then
		
00:31:17 --> 00:31:19
			send your children to learn. If you're not
		
00:31:19 --> 00:31:21
			to learn yourself, then encourage and say a
		
00:31:21 --> 00:31:23
			good word to another to learn. If you
		
00:31:23 --> 00:31:25
			hear someone say something bad about thee, the
		
00:31:25 --> 00:31:27
			ulama who are the trustees of Allah and
		
00:31:27 --> 00:31:29
			his creation, then say this is not the
		
00:31:29 --> 00:31:31
			deen that that Allah and his Rasool salallahu
		
00:31:31 --> 00:31:32
			alaihi wa sallam sent down. This is not
		
00:31:32 --> 00:31:34
			the deen that I know. Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:31:34 --> 00:31:36
			ta'ala raised from amongst this ummah, a group
		
00:31:36 --> 00:31:37
			of people, inshaAllah, from amongst the students of
		
00:31:37 --> 00:31:40
			Nawal Academy also, inshaAllah. A group of people
		
00:31:40 --> 00:31:43
			who will work to fix what's broken. That
		
00:31:43 --> 00:31:45
			the, you know, the the the the animals
		
00:31:45 --> 00:31:48
			no longer die from our ignorance. The the
		
00:31:48 --> 00:31:51
			the the the global warming that submerge cities,
		
00:31:51 --> 00:31:53
			that people no longer kill each other, people
		
00:31:53 --> 00:31:55
			no longer destroy their dunya and their deen
		
00:31:55 --> 00:31:57
			because of our what? Our our dereliction of
		
00:31:57 --> 00:31:58
			duty with regard to this,
		
00:31:59 --> 00:32:02
			regards to this, sacred, trust.
		
00:32:33 --> 00:32:35
			Waking is up to the reality
		
00:32:35 --> 00:32:37
			of what is, what the response to the
		
00:32:37 --> 00:32:38
			dilemma is, and
