subhanaw taala who knows what we reveal and knows what we conceal, and even knows what the animals
		

			feel. We thank him we praise Him and on him we have reliance. It is to him we only turn to for true
guidance. We asked him to send his peace, his blessings, His mercy on the best of human beings and
prophets. Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam on Holmby prays until the very end of our days. We
asked him for steadfastness, guidance, mercy and to never lead us astray and for him to save us on
Judgement Day.
		

			No doubt brothers and sisters, that Allah subhanaw taala brings to us new times to reflect over what
has past brings us a sense of understanding and introspection for us to understand how to pave the
future, the past decades that have occurred and still occur in the Muslim world, and the events that
unfold have a direct role to play in the rest of the ummah. And one of the most important things for
us to understand is to constantly see what are the trajectories of the Muslim community and how we
as a family unit and also as individuals that make up this Muslim Ummah
		

			should act should deal with each other. How should we as a community plot our future? So we must
reflect over the past in order to understand where we are going. As Malcolm X locking the whole law
said people who don't know where they came from, will inevitably not know where they are going. Are
they here to Allah
		

			Well, Lafarge ALLAH,
		

			ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada gave us a way of life.
		

			that has been under scrutiny for many decades, has been under scrutiny since even the assumption of
Islam. And this way of life is something that we must embrace and we must stand and we must also
represent truly, first by acting upon it ourselves and then teaching others, starting with the
closest to us, which we have permanent relationships in with, then our community members and then
the greater neighbors and community at large. And this way of life is known as the City of Islam.
The word Sharia in which this country and cities in this country have unfortunately, put under
intense scrutiny until the point the word itself has become something Muslims are ashamed of the
		

			word itself, something Muslims don't know how to even appropriately rep represent or to respond to,
in fact, cities in this community have actually adopted anti Sharia laws
		

			out of the fear and Islamophobia industry that have perpetuated this kind of belief, and especially
the events that are unfolding in the world, for example, in Afghanistan, of the foreign occupation
that we participated in, in this country. Now allowing the country to freely dictate what its future
will hold.
		

			brings to this community here at home the reality of understanding how we as a community must
represent our faith truly, and how we must share with our neighbors what the true meaning of Sharia
means. This is of the utmost importance, because for the past couple of decades in this country, the
number one group and continues to be under scrutiny in America has no doubt been among them,
Muslims, Muslims who were made to feel a sense of cognitive dissonance about their Islam, about the
fact that they follow Sharia and what that even means. And this is an incredibly important topic,
because we that oncoming generations, are facing a generation of young people that did not have the
		

			background traumas that we grew up with. Whether it was the traumas of immigrating to this country
from
		

			Play places of violence, whether it was the traumas of immigrating to this country from places of
repression, or whether it was being traumatized by what happened in the past two decades in terms of
the intense scrutiny, what it meant to be Muslim in America, to even say that you're Muslim, when
names were changed from Muhammad to Mo and hijabs were taken off, and people needed to feel they
need to adopt an Islam palatable to society. We need to understand this now more than ever, for a
generation which our values as Muslims, is going to be scrutinized more than simply being Muslim as
it was in the past. We live in a society now, where we as Muslims must think twice about just simply
		

			sharing the values that our faith represents, unfortunately, because of the dichotomy of the
political structure of our country here, as well as the greater world and what it means to be a
person of faith in modernity, in a secular society. And our children are the first group of people
that if they do not get the right answers, they will be the first to also leave the Muslim identity
and leave it as a cultural label, not a lived experience. The word Shetty on my brothers and sisters
is something our Lord Allah subhanaw taala has given us as a way of life Allah subhanaw taala says
shout Arlequin Mina de ma wasabi he knew how will lovey Oh hyena lake. One hour was Selena
		

			behavioral hemo Musa Isa anokhi Medina wala Tata for Roku fi tabula rasa El Masri kita melted room
in a Allahu Yoji Tebbe he made a show where the HEMA you need Allah subhanaw taala says he has Shara
legislated to you all believers, this way which we have given to all of the previous prophets and
messengers, one faith under god indivisible, one faith as a god to all of humanity, one faith that
is a way of life to know and and what we have revealed to you are prophets and what we reveal to
Ibrahim and Musa and Isa, commanding them, uphold the faith and make no division in it. What you
call those who reject Faith from the pagans, is unbearable to them. Allah chooses for himself
		

			whoever He wills and guides himself whoever returns to you
		

			The word Sharia as even far as an allowable as for honey say, it comes from Hua che, you still see
Mt daddy in your Kudo fee, we'll call it Nigel Perrysville Wilder, which means the clear path, the
clear path all the way to the watering hole, a flowing spring that you never get nourished from not
just theory, it's something that will give you clarity and path. That's what the word comes from.
And it actually entails every component of our faith, as well as the corporal and governmental and
communal interactions. So if it's from the Sharia, that you pray to Allah, and it's from the Sharia,
that you open the door for an elder, and it's from the Sharia that you don't raise your voice, when
		

			there's someone of respect. And it's from the Sharia to care about the neighbor and it's from the
Sharia to give charity and it's from the Shetty up to be involved in a community. Nothing, Neff CNF
see myself myself. This is all Sharia, often translated as as Islamic law. And that's why for those
who say Sharia law, it makes no sense. Sharia Islam,
		

			who say Sharia law says this makes no sense Sharia Islam, and it refers specifically more so than
just Islamic law. It refers to a divinely ordained path of conduct that governs ritual acts of
devotion, as well as day to day life, when essentially people call anti Sharia. They're saying you
no longer want Muslims to live here.
		

			Once one people claim that they are against Sharia thinking that it's about a particular component
1/50 of what Islam has made of, in fact, it is a call of ignorance makes no sense. Allah subhanho wa
Taala says from Madonna aka Allah Shariati mineral Emery that Tubbataha Walla Walla Deen Allah Allah
moon, now we have set you are Prophet on a clear way of truth a Sharia. So follow it do not follow
the desires of those who do not know the truth. Allah subhanho wa Taala when he gave us a shittier
Imam a call to the rocky Mahalo to Allah. He says a police Khalidiya to Lasota Minwoo in Alma was
Sharia to Masha Allah holy rebel to him in a deen little Easton Najat this path that Allah gave us
		

			we as Muslims believe that it is the path to salvation. We as Muslims live upon this path, believing
it will make us the most upright human beings. We as Muslims believe that the Sharia is the most
pristine personal development programme in the universe. It will rectify the washy of humanity, the
animal instinct of humanity that will not consider any accountability except accountability to Allah
the Most High the highest level of accountability humanity needs today, if you look what our society
collectively suffers from, it is a spiritual emptiness and vacuum that has perpetuated it is a
spiritual vacuum that makes people adopt a moral value system that will denigrate the other that
		

			will harm the family structure that will harm the general community at large. And hence why we as
Muslims believe that this is the most pristine way of living with our neighbors in a plural society
that we that we are to understand mutually what the other believes in and also to assert our values
as Allah subhana wa Tada has granted them to us. The Sharia is composed of two parts, one that is
divinely revealed and one that is understood.
		

			The one that is divinely revealed is the book of ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada Allah azza wa jal says We
have revealed to you the Quran, tibia and unluckily shape as an expounding of everything. You want
to learn how to be a parent, you want to learn how to understand how to govern, you want to
understand how to conduct charitable structures, environment, environmental awareness, or civil
rights. Everything is in the Quran and the Sharia that Allah subhanaw taala has given us TBN and
equally shake. The second part will my anti colonial hella in who are in the worker, you are your
prophet, oh, you prophet. He does not speak from his own. Rather everything that he has said is a
		

			revelation that has revealed the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. And the
part that is understood is the part where our scholars of Islam use the principles of understanding
the Quran and Sunnah from the Sahaba of the Prophet a subtle set up and a Nabi SallAllahu de Sena
myself to give us the rules of understanding how to derive application in modernity. And this is
what the Sharia entails not just
		

			All but behavior and conduct Allah's prescription for human action. And the Sharia is a discovery of
those rules to allow believers to obey Allah and to guide those who don't believe to this path. It
reflects broader purposes and values. These brother purposes and objectives are six core objectives
of the Sharia. They are life, religion, reason, or intellect, protection of wealth, family, and
honor. This is what the Sharia came to for the greater benefit of humanity. So when somebody comes
and says, we don't want Sharia, you don't want the preservation of life. You don't want the
preservation of faith. You don't want the preservation of reason and intellect, because that is what
		

			the objectives of Sharia are. So when we look at the rules of Islam, we have to understand that the
rules were set there, and the Sharia should be understood via its goals and objectives, beliefs and
values before the rules itself. When your child comes and asks, Why should I do this? Why did Allah
tell us to do this? If we don't explain the why the objective the goal, than the rule itself will be
meaningless. It's like putting a BandAid on a wound and not realizing there's a tumor there before
		

			a father came to me in a city in America. And he says, Can you please talk to my daughter because
she took off the hijab. And he was crying profusely. So I let him finish. And I said, you know,
comforted him. And this, I want to ask you a very honest question. How much time have you spent with
your daughter?
		

			Do you have a date night that you take your children out? Have you talked when's the last time you
told her that she was beautiful? And share beauty is so priceless? There is no man that actually
deserves it, but I will allow him How many times have you hugged her, told her she's She's beautiful
and told her that you love her. And there was a silence there. And oftentimes, others have said to
me, Well, you know, I'm busy at work. This is not an excuse.
		

			Work is an obligation, but your child has a bigger obligation than that. And I said, You know what,
my my uncle, may Allah bless you, I want you to understand that what you're trying and asking me to
do is to put a BandAid on a wound when there's a tumor that exists deeper with it.
		

			If our young generation and before that if we don't understand the makeup and construct of what our
faith calls to, then what we essentially will do is focus on the aspects of our faith.
		

			That actually Allah azza wa jal focused on the objectives more and focused on the means for people
to accept that faith that I shall not be alone and said, If the first laws and Islam were to be
revealed, stopped drinking alcohol, and stop committing intimacy outside of marriage, she said, none
of this ahava would have done it. But the first thing that were revealed is the verses about the
hereafter, and connecting people's hearts to Allah, the Lord Almighty, His mercy and His love and
understanding and reasoning and the rationality of faith and what we're working towards. And the
fact that Islam is greatest claim is that there is another life to live. Islam's greatest claim is
		

			that the Divine is present in our lives, even if every molecule of our being wants to run away from
them.
		

			And that everything we do is a cause and effect of our relationship with our Lord subhanho wa taala.
She said then, after those ayat that people's heart become soft, and they understood the objectives
of the Sharia. And then they accepted Dhaka
		

			narrated in the slide. I want you all to understand my brothers and sisters why mama daddy said in
his book almost phosphor, these objectives is for the reason of what must slow Hollywood Hulk for
the benefit of humanity and create and the creation. And it will call him said Allah sent the
message to the messengers and sent the book so that justice will be established to humanity. Due to
this justice, the heavens and the earth were established. If any signs of this justice become
clearer in any form, or in any way than that is the law of Allah and His faith. Allah did not limit
the paths of justice, it's evidence or sign in anything, nor did he reject any of it. Rather, the
		

			establishment of justice is what the objective of establishing it among humanity with due diligence
and hence why
		

			Imam entertain me Rahim Allah Allah He said in Allah you came with Dola to the idea that one kind of
calcula What are your team of walima? When Kenneth Muslimah Allah will establish a just country even
if it disbelieves and establish an oppressive country, even if it is Muslim? And Allah subhanaw
taala the Prophet sallallahu Sallam says, in Allah you either have the deen the raw juillet Fajr
		

			Allah will aid even this faith, even if it's with a sinful person. And Allah Subhana Allah Allah
says that those who establish justice, they will establish it first on themselves. This all entails
that we as Muslims must apply what Allah subhanaw taala says, Yeah, you will the innominate full
facility Kapha enter into Islam completely. And I will address something my brothers and sisters
that we need to take on honestly, truthfully, with ourselves. We are increasingly in America, living
a pic your Islam kind of religion.
		

			We are increasingly in America following a religion of whatever I feel I want to apply in Islam and
then leave the rest alone. We're increasingly in a community in a society where we don't focus on
the aspect of what does it mean to completely apply the Sharia.
		

			When we focus on the superficial components of the Sharia, and we haven't bettered the content of
our character in dealing with our, with our family, for example, with our spouses, with our wives,
or husbands and our children, when we talk about the outward aspect of the Sharia, and we are people
that are not people have integrity and honesty.
		

			When we talk about the components of the outward aspects of the Sharia, and we ourselves, must be
the first ones to implement them. We ask Allah subhanaw taala to allow us to be of those that he
		

			blesses, to completely accept the Sharia and to live by the Sharia and to teach the Sharia with our
actions before a statement statements of who to call the house of frolicking for Sofitel in the Hall
of Fame.
		

			Al hamdu lillah wa salatu salam ala Rasulillah wherever he was, so he was delimiter Simic Avila, my
brothers, my sisters.
		

			We in the past decades of living in America, as a minority, no doubt come under intense scrutiny for
our faith. It becomes very difficult sometimes to live outwardly Muslim in some aspects. Yes, we
have been given Alhamdulillah the freedoms that Allah has afforded us to practice our deen in this
country. But we must stand for our values unapologetically, we must teach our children our values.
And to live unapologetically, we must not allow our faith to become a cultural identity marker
alone,
		

			where we don't live Islam, but we call ourselves Muslim. This must be the discussions that you and I
carry, firstly to ourselves, those around us from our family and our children. How is that done?
Number one, we must be increasingly educated about our faith. We must learn the seed of the Prophet
Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, to the point that that is our first reference point. We must
understand the diversity of our community. And we must be welcoming to people that may have
questions may have doubts, may have misconceptions may have come from an element of trauma. So many
Muslims come from traumatized experiences. And that's why the great scholar as Eddie Mohammed Al
		

			Ghazali, Rama hula Allah, He says half of the world's disbelief is because of religious people that
harmed others.
		

			Half of his disbelief is people who are upwardly looked looked religious, and they harmed somebody
so that person eventually turned their back on Islam. They were forced to do something they were
beaten to do something. How many of us we had teachers of Quran they beat us when they recited Quran
when we made a mistake, you know what that does? This forever in your mind and grades with you an
emotion of pain, with the most beautiful thing the words of Allah subhanaw taala. So when a person
grows, they inertly naturally will not read the Quran, because there is an intrinsic subliminal
feeling of pain. Imagine that pain is with other aspects of Islam. We must be welcoming, non
		

			judgmental, we must also be willing to humble ourselves
		

			and to lower our egos. That is true Sharia are my brothers and sisters because we talk about what
happened in the past few decades. Now we must understand that the future is based on us educating
ourselves and practicing our deen because I guarantee you
		

			look at the history of colonization and what Muslims have suffered because of it. Look at the
history of Ben internal colonisation, and how Muslims have refused to learn from the things that
have shackled their constructs of understanding Islam
		

			My brothers, my sisters. This conversation, of course, is just one hutzpah to initiate that
discussion. How does that relate to very microscopic things like the family structure? How does that
relate to the microscopic things? Like, what are the viable means for young people to find
compatible spouses in society? What does that refer to in terms of dealing with the greater problems
in society that we see today? Poverty is increasing in America. In fact, 57% of Muslims in America
are under the poverty line. And this is shocking to so many people. Do you know why? Because there's
an elite class divide in our communities, we may represent a side of the of the class poverty
		

			structure that is, needs to reflect where are the other Muslims in the community? And what can we do
as a social responsibility to fulfill their needs? Where are those organizations and programs within
the masajid to cater for that, and also women's programs, children's programs, and other things that
the greater community can even benefit from? This is all part of the show to my brothers and
sisters. And we must proudly and again, like I said, unapologetically represent our faith. And if we
do not my brothers and sisters, then there will be people who speak for us misrepresent us, the
Islamophobia industry in America has become a $42.7 million industry. That was 10 years ago. What is
		

			it now Allahu Allah.
		

			May Allah azza wa jal allow us to represent our deen truly correct the misconceptions, educate
ourselves and the greater Muslim Ummah of what it means to truly implement Sharia. May Allah azza wa
jal allow us to be of those he honors with Islam, that we live with Islam, and we die upon Islam and
the last word we leave on this earth is La ilaha illAllah Muhammad Rasul Allah, Allah is in Islam on
