			My dear brothers and sisters, we live in a unique situation unlike
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:08
			the generations that have gone before us.
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:11
			For us,
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:13
			we live
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:17
			in a majority non Muslim country.
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:24
			For us, we came here by our own choice, no one forced us to come here.
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:28
			And for us, we have no restrictions.
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:40
			We live among non Muslims, and yet no one is restricting us. No one is preventing us from seeing
what we want.
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:46
			From conveying this message from giving Dawa
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:52
			of this Deen of Islam as it was revealed without having to change it
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:53
			without
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:59
			having to hide some aspects of this Deen.
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:07
			Others in other parts of the world, they're restricted even when living
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:09
			among Muslims.
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:15
			And so my dear brothers and sisters, this is why the scholars of Islam they say
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:18
			that one of the conditions
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:24
			of it being permissible to live among non Muslims is
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:27
			that you're giving Dawa.
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:34
			That you're conveying the message of Islam. And so we are sinful if we are not.
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:38
			If we are not fulfilling this obligation.
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:45
			However, most of us, we live passive lives.
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:52
			We live passive lives, not doing even the least that we're capable of.
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:59
			The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Billy who I knew what I
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:03
			conveyed for me.
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:08
			Even if it be one, I have one verse.
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:25
			And so this is a command. What we learned from this hadith is firstly, it is a command from the
Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam, and the commands of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,
they indicate that it is obligatory.
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:29
			Anything that Allah or his messenger commanded
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:31
			is an obligation.
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:36
			And so it is an obligation on each and every single Muslim,
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:40
			to teach to convey the message of Islam.
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:44
			But this Hadith also teaches us
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:47
			that everyone is different.
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:53
			And some people are more knowledgeable than others.
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:57
			And so just because you know, little,
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:03
			just because your knowledge of Islam is literal, it does not excuse you.
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:12
			From this obligation of giving Dawa. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Teach convey even
if it be one eye.
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:15
			And which Muslim can say he does not know
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:23
			when I have the Quran, or one concept of Islam that you can pass on to others.
