00:00:00 --> 00:00:04
			The topic I will speak to you is a
situation in Syria. I'm back here
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:07
			again after three years, knowing
the crisis that's taking place
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:11
			here taking place there. Sorry,
but I'm not going to go through
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:15
			that whole speech again. I'm just
going to raise certain pertinent
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:19
			points to make us understand and
to reflect and to raise our own
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:19
			opinion.
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:24
			The Muslims world over have been
confused about the war in Syria.
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:25
			There's
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:30
			propaganda machines working from
all sides, and people are saying,
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:33
			there's agendas, there's all kind
of politics interests. There's a
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:37
			proxy war between different
countries. But let's make our own
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:42
			assessment. Let's take Aleppo as
an example, in the last four to
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:46
			five days, you know, there's a
total massacre taking place in
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:46
			Aleppo.
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:52
			Let's assume we don't know who is
right and who is wrong, but let's
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:58
			judge by the actions salaam Ayub,
when he went to war against
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:02
			enormousness, when the generals
were injured on the other side, he
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:03
			stopped the war
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:08
			to allow the generals to heal
before he can fight them again. He
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:13
			was a Kurd, but the principle of
wars he stopped here. It's
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:17
			supposed to be muslims fighting
fellow Muslim
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:23
			in the month of ran over 12. Was
on Monday, some celebrated Sunday
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:27
			night. It doesn't matter, but
month of Rabbi Owen, we all claim
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:32
			we follow the Holy Prophet saws.
We all say we are lovers of the
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:35
			Holy Prophet saws. From We all say
we are believers in order to
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:40
			emulate the Holy Prophet Saul. Yet
in his month, in his birth, you go
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:45
			and you massacre people and you
stay terrorists. What terrorists
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:46
			are you massacring?
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:52
			Our hospital in Serbia is a
witness that the only people are
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:57
			massacring are women and children
who don't have the right to defend
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:01
			themselves, have nowhere to stand
by them, and the Muslim world has
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:05
			left them alone. Forget the
Western world. It's got the
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:09
			interest. Where is the Muslim
world? And Allah says, Come and
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:12
			hug the oppressed. Help those who
are don't downtrodden. Where are
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:16
			the Muslim countries? But the most
important point is, what is the
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:21
			action of those in Aleppo in the
prophet's birthday? Chemical
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:27
			Warfare, hydrogen bombs, all types
of Banner bombs, attacking
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:32
			hospitals, civilian centers,
markets, masjids. Could these
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:33
			people be Muslim?
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:37
			And who are these people? I say
like it is. Some people don't like
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:42
			it, but there is only one truth.
These people are Syria as Syria
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:48
			and his Alawites, Hezbollah, Iran
and Russia. These are the four
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:52
			categories of people attacking
innocent people all over the
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:55
			country. We've seen it. We've
watched the witnesses, because
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:59
			doctors and staff from all over
the different hospitals have come
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:03
			to our two hospitals. What all
types of injuries. Last night, the
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:05
			first patients came from Aleppo to
our hospital.
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:09
			We send you the pictures soon. We
always start sending the pictures
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:12
			out. We're not going to send the
pictures of something else inside
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:16
			Aleppo. We're going to send you
our own pictures from when they
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:18
			come to our hospital, because
that's the truth, taken by us, by
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:23
			our teams. There's 200 of our
staff in hospital, and what did
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:28
			the people say? They say, this is
a genocide. In the month of
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:32
			running over, we don't need the
words. If one person says it, or
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:35
			two says it, or he says, you are
going to ask a lot of questions.
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:38
			But if everybody tells you the
same things, the alarm bells are
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:43
			going on. They say this is a
genocide. They're using chemical
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:47
			weapons. They're using big bombs.
They're attacking the hospitals.
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:50
			They're attacking the markets.
They're attacking civilians.
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:53
			They're shooting women and
children. They've cut all the
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:57
			supplies off, no water, no food,
no medicines, women, no medical
		
00:03:57 --> 00:04:01
			equipment. Can go inside. Women
have killed themselves, and they
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:06
			said, Oh, forgive us. Suicide is
better than to be raped. Others
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:09
			have killed themselves, thinking
the death is better than being
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:10
			captured.
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:14
			Orphans are kissing dead parents
in the streets. Women are crying
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:18
			as husbands are pulled away. These
are not stories from a book. I've
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:22
			got no time for stories. This is
the reality of what's happening in
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:26
			the ground. And those of us who
keep saying Iran is that, saying
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:30
			it bluntly, they say, you know,
what are you defending? Sorry, I'm
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:33
			not defending Saudi Arabia. I
don't belong to Saudi Arabia. I
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:35
			have nothing to do with Saudi
Arabia. I have an impedance
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:36
			country for the last 40 years.
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:41
			I'm telling you clearly, Don't
divert the discussion. Who is
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:47
			attacking civilians inside Syria?
It is Iran. They claim to be
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:51
			members of Islamic world. Which
member of the Islamic world
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:54
			massacres women and children? Did
you not learn from your own
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:58
			revolution who is running the war
in Syria? The general is running
		
00:04:58 --> 00:04:59
			the war in Syria is causing.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:02
			Lehman, the top General of the
Indian Army,
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:07
			if you said, others are telling
us, at least in the days of a stop
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:11
			like salao diyou, who comes from
your own area, who comes from your
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:15
			region, learn from history, but to
attack women and children openly
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:19
			and massacre them. Totally
unacceptable, brothers and
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:22
			sisters, I'm not going to take up
your time. Imam is very good to
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:25
			me, and the mosque property was
very good to me, to give me this
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:29
			few minutes, but they need our
help. People ask, What must we do?
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:33
			I'm not asking you to get morbid.
I'm not asking you to sit in one
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:36
			corner and cry or wear black. That
is not the teaching of the Holy
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:40
			Prophet saws. Look now. Prophet
has told us to be positive about
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:44
			everything. If Allah helps you,
none can overcome you. If he
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:48
			forsake you, who is there after
that that can help you in Allah?
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:51
			Then let believers put their
trust. And as the Palestinians
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:54
			say, husband Allah, who will not
go to kill over and over again,
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:57
			for everything that goes right,
everything that goes wrong,
		
00:05:57 --> 00:06:01
			because there is no wrong people
you believe in Allah, so don't put
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:05
			yourself in the corner. Enjoy your
holiday. You've worked hard. Your
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:09
			family needs it, God, but in going
for that holiday, remember how
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:14
			your gratitude, how lucky you are.
You have a nice house, you have a
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:18
			job, you have a car, you have food
and clothing. But above all, you
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:21
			are not being Mexican. Your
family, people are not in jail
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:25
			being tortured. Your kids have not
been taken away from you. That is
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:29
			the biggest gratitude you can
give. So in giving that gratitude,
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:33
			pass something onto the other
side. If you can't part at money,
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:37
			it's fine. Money always comes.
Tala always says, at least lift
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:40
			your hands up. Don't be amazing.
Pick up your hands. Get up in the
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:43
			middle of the night, because if we
were in that situation, I
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:47
			guarantee you, in Syria and in
Palestine and all over Gaza and
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:50
			all over the municipalities, they
will get up and they will lift
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:53
			their hands up for you as they
send in prayers right now for all
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:57
			the aid that is coming, just to
explain to you how your money is
		
00:06:57 --> 00:07:03
			being used in 2012 in December, we
found a building By Allah's grace.
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:07
			We converted that building into an
emergency hospital in 70 days. And
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:11
			I'll tell you one last story. When
I did the building, I told the
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:13
			doctor, you know what, this
building is not going to be
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:17
			enough. Can we expand sidewards,
backwards and upwards? He said, I
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:21
			don't know. I'm a doctor. We need
to get an engineer. Next minute,
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:25
			somebody walks into the building,
and he says, I'm an engineer. So I
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:29
			said, my friend, can we explain
this building? He says, Yes, two
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:33
			floors up, passing what can I
engineer you? You don't see the
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:35
			plans, you don't see the
architectural drawings. You don't
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:39
			see the building. How can you
decide two floors up? He says, My
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:45
			Friend, I built this building. 25
million people in Syria, and the
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:49
			engineer that I need Allah sent to
the hospital, isn't that the Grace
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:54
			of Allah? In March, I went back to
2003 13 to see the place of ready
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:58
			to take the teams in in April. And
60 South African doctors and all
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:02
			types of medical professionals
went in 10 days, we saw 7000
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:06
			patients. We helped train the
salients, because who was the
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:11
			doctors at the cultural students,
putting up drips, helping in
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:13
			theater, because there are no
doctors to help them, so we have
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:17
			trained them. And we said, Okay,
we going to expand this hospital.
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:21
			The hospital is now three floors
big, backwards floors upwards or
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:24
			not expanded across the road. We
put up an additional primary
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:29
			health care center. But the bobby
by this type of indecent human
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:32
			beings never stopped. They, as
they tried to destroy every
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:36
			hospital in Syria. They tried many
times to destroy our hospital
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:38
			whilst we were there in April,
2013
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:43
			four missiles hit the mountain
above the hospital. Bombs fell
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:45
			around the hospital, bombshell.
Now our doctors were staying
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:48
			bombshell. Were doing the
restaurant. Eventually we had to
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:51
			move the whole team underground,
street underground. But the teams
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:55
			never gave up, and we expanded
that hospital, as I said, it's
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:58
			three floors now, it even offers
dialysis services in a war zone.
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:04
			In September last year, we decided
we needed another hospital. It was
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:07
			May last year when Nepal
earthquake happened at exactly the
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:10
			same time. They got lucky, one of
the bombs came close to the
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:14
			hospital and blew the doors and
the windows away. Fortunately, not
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:18
			too much damage. We can't fix it
up. And we carried on in
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:22
			September, we said we need a
second hospital, slightly away,
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:25
			closer to the Turkish border,
where it's slightly safer. There
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:29
			is no safe place in Syria, but
closer to the Turkish border, the
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:34
			Turkish Red Crescent gave us a
million dollar field hospital. The
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:37
			promoted hospital now is in
winter. It's too cold because it's
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:41
			tense. So next year, after winter,
we got we're going to convert the
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:44
			state hospital field hospital in a
proper, big brick hospital, but we
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:49
			want to do something else besides
the second hospital, because a lot
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:51
			of women and children being
killed, and because of the danger
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:55
			for women and children in our
hospital and other hospitals,
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:59
			which we now call al Hilal, we
want to put up a third hospital
		
00:09:59 --> 00:09:59
			dedicate.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:03
			It to women and children closer to
the Turkish border. Allah, bless
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:06
			you for all the conditions you've
been giving we've even set up a
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:09
			feeding center. We've put up
refugee camps. We've put up tents,
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:13
			provide a blanket, food, baby
milk. We've got a feeding center,
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:16
			provided hot pearls and food
parcels. We've set up rapid
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:19
			healthcare clinics. We go into the
different areas, and when the
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:23
			bombing is very severe. We send
our teams into into the areas of
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:26
			heavy bombing, because we can't
bring those patients to the
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:29
			hospital in time to feed those
patients. All this is only
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:33
			possible because of your money.
But whilst giving money, don't
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:37
			make that as an excuse not
evaluate your own behavior and
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:41
			your own character, brothers and
sisters, as the Mona was talking
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:44
			about. Now it's time for
evaluation. People have New Year's
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:48
			party and New Year's joy. We don't
have those kind of things. We
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:53
			reflect on our behavior, on our
character and our actions, because
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:56
			when the Wrath of Allah comes,
believe me, it is very, very hard.
		
00:10:57 --> 00:11:00
			I'm not saying Allah is punishing
the people of Saria. No man can
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:04
			make that judgment. Maybe Allah is
testing them and he's promised
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:07
			them the highest station in
paradise for their suffering. We
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:10
			don't know, but we don't know
who's being judged and who's been
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:14
			tested and who's been punished,
but what we do know is we know our
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:17
			own actions and how we can collect
it. Thank you very much for your
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:21
			time. They need a lot of help.
They're pouring from alefo,
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:24
			reporting from all parts of Syria,
there's a dedicated team of 200
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:28
			medical personnel who can walk out
of that hospital any day and get a
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:32
			top job in America, anywhere in
Europe, anywhere in the world, for
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:36
			50 times the salary that we are
giving them. But they said, No, we
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:41
			don't want the money. We will risk
our lives, our families and our
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:45
			children to help our brothers and
sisters all over Syria. And we
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:48
			will stay in this hospital and
Assad and the Iranians and the
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:51
			Russians can bomb and will die
with our patients in the hospital,
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:55
			brothers and sisters. If they can
do that, surely we can empty the
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:58
			Prophet into something. I'm not
asking you for money. You can give
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:01
			your money to one. Don't give your
money to one because I have one
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:04
			belief. The Prophet sallallahu
said, whatever is going to strike
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:08
			you is never going to miss you.
Whatever is going to miss you is
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:11
			never going to strike you. I can
give the lectures all over the
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:13
			world. If I'm not supposed to get
one cent, I'm not going to give
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:16
			one cent. If I sit still, give no
lectures. Well, I was to give me
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:21
			$100 billion he will give me $100
billion that is faith. And believe
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:26
			me, when you go into Syria and you
see what the money did normally,
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:29
			when you give money, you say, you
know, are the guy stealing? Are we
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:32
			getting short changed? Is money
not going there? I'm trying to
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:35
			find out. How come the money that
we're giving is giving us more
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:38
			benefit than the money that we're
giving. You can't understand it.
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:41
			It's like it's stealing money from
somewhere else to help our
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:45
			projects because of your good
hearts, because of your sincerity
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:48
			and how you feel. And when the
people from all over the world
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:51
			came and the last minute and they
said, Is this hospital built by
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:54
			Saudi Arabia? They said, No, it's
not Saudi Arabia. It's South
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:58
			Africa. They said, it can't be
South Africa. How can Africa do a
		
00:12:58 --> 00:13:03
			thing like this? It is Arabia.
Ours is the biggest operation
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:07
			inside Syria. In the whole of
North Syria, we got the biggest
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:10
			medical facility and the biggest
medical services. So much so that
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:14
			the Syrians inside Turkey crossed
the border to come to the hospital
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:18
			inside Syria, again, because of
your generosity, your gutha and
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:22
			your DUA, don't forget to evaluate
your own action. 31st step, what
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:25
			you are going to do, evaluate your
own action. Can you bring the good
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:29
			deeds and pass on good behavior to
your children? Because we don't
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:31
			know what the future holds.
