00:00:00 --> 00:00:03
			Brothers in Islam for being here with us
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:08
			on the death of George Floyd and
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:12
			I was really touched by the that video when I
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:15
			you know I wanted to watch the game but
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:21
			I couldn't you know I really couldn't and in Sharla here is
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:24
			a clip of it.
		
00:00:26 --> 00:01:08
			Prosecutors say officer Derrick Shaaban had his knee on George Floyd's neck for eight minutes and 46
seconds, including two minutes and 53 seconds after Floyd had become unresponsive this afternoon the
county prosecutor explain why the charges came today. We have the officers body worn camera we have
statements from some witnesses. We have a preliminary report from the medical examiner. According to
the charging documents police were responding to a call of Floyd using a counterfeit $20 bill during
the attempt to put a handcuff Floyd into the police car. The defendant pulled Mr. Floyd out of the
passenger side of the squad car held him with a knee to the neck. At one point another officer asked
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:49
			should we roll him on his side? Shaaban replied No staying put where we got him. Prosecutors contend
Mr. Floyd being restrained by the police. His underlying health conditions and any potential
intoxicants in a system likely contributed to his death. But the prosecutor says the preliminary
autopsy does not support that Floyd died from strangulation. Benjamin Crump represents Floyd's
family. They were very clear in their position that it should be first degree murder charges and the
other offices should be arrested to the third precinct police building where the four fired officers
work was at the center of the anger.
		
00:01:52 --> 00:02:20
			After police abandoned the building, protesters set it on fire. The city warned people to retreat in
case it exploded. At dawn National Guardsmen rolled in to clear the grounds area immediately. State
police are here you can see them behind me holding down this block. Behind them are the firefighters
doing the hard work right now. They are dousing the flames trying to save the rest of these
businesses from going up in smoke.
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:23
			Brothers and sisters in Islam.
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:29
			You know, there is a verse in sola to land file
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:37
			with Allah subhanho wa Taala says, and this is regarding someone who was fighting you
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:50
			someone who was actually in battle field trying to kill you were in Jana who is selling me fejn
Allah, what our kilala law
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:54
			and if they retreat to peace,
		
00:02:56 --> 00:03:07
			you could see that George Floyd was, you know, peaceful. He was not struggling or giving the
officers part time.
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:13
			In that video, to the extent like Dr. Taha just commented,
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:22
			minutes ago, that the officer who was placing his knee on his neck
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:27
			which really strangled him, I disagree with that report.
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:51
			was placing his hand in his pockets, meaning he's not threatened by him. Imagine Allah subhana wa
tada is telling us that, even if he was giving you a hard time which led you to do that, that if he
is now giving up, and he's begging for his life,
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:53
			I can breathe,
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:57
			then you should give it to him. That's what the verse says.
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:08
			Another scene here, brothers and sisters in Islam, which you got another three officers standing and
seeing injustice done
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:10
			to one man
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:13
			and they don't want to speak out.
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:33
			They are as guilty as this officer who was arrested. They are still looking into Islam says when you
see and I think Dr. Thor has weight, mentioned the Hadith at least two times in our conversation.
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:36
			When you see something wrong,
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:40
			you must do something about changing it.
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:44
			Let's look at these three officers
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:52
			with the hand. One of them could have pushed. I'm sure they heard George Floyd.
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:59
			The way that we heard him I can breathe. Meaning demand is suffering is dying.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03
			And I'm talking about these three officers.
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:08
			They should have stopped this man.
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:13
			This officer from strangling George Floyd.
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:18
			And that is something that Islam teaches us brothers and sisters in Islam.
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:29
			The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in an authentic hadith says, on sort of a Hawker volumen of
Luma
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:36
			give a to your brother, whether he is oppressed
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:39
			or whether he is an oppressor.
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:45
			The Companions understood, yes, it makes sense
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:48
			to aid my brother
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:51
			if he is being oppressed,
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:57
			but how do I eat my brother? Have he is oppressing
		
00:05:58 --> 00:05:59
			Cafu and have
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:02
			you stopped him from oppressing?
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:05
			That's what Islam teaches.
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:08
			Brothers and sisters in Islam.
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:15
			Dr. Taha sided the verse and Salatin bacala
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:20
			Welcome felucca saucy hyah tune. Yeah, Ali Al babbie.
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:23
			La La Quinta flown.
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:36
			Indeed, in Alka sauce is the sauce that you bring the killer to justice. And you deal with them
right away. There is life in this.
		
00:06:37 --> 00:07:01
			And I commend it by saying this is the proper approach of scare tactic, the proper context of a
scare tactic? Because recently, we had a brother who came out and he's saying the whole dude in
Islam, the penal code in Islam were meant to scare
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:08
			people. And quote unquote, medieval time I don't know what is the medieval time
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:24
			the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam described this time to be the best of times. Hi urine. So
currently, the best of mankind is my alma
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:29
			mater, Molina Luna home, then those who followed them,
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:34
			through Medina Luna home, then those who followed them.
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:37
			Now
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:44
			we use the terminology mid evil time to describe the best of people.
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:47
			There is something wrong here.
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:50
			Please give us a break.
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:53
			Brothers and sisters in Islam.
		
00:07:55 --> 00:08:02
			There is a protocol for the penal code for the huddled in Islam to be established.
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:05
			There is a way to do it.
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:11
			First of all, you have to have a judiciary process.
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:15
			You have to have witnesses.
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:19
			You have to establish that this person did it.
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:31
			And this is not carried out by the individuals rather by the people in charge. Brothers and sisters
in Islam.
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:37
			This is the way we should explain the whole dude, the penal code
		
00:08:38 --> 00:09:10
			and Muslims executed penal code in Islam. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam did it a bulwark of
your loved one who did it almost did it? Whether it is related to adultery, or whether it is related
to killing or whether it is related to stealing, whether it is related to drinking. The five areas
with Islam came to protect. But they were never meant to be just a scare tactic. Yes,
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:21
			they are scare tactic. Because if the perpetrator, the one who's about to kill, if this officer knew
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:37
			in his heart, that he is to be brought to justice and he will be executed. I'm telling you, he will
be scared. But the only way for him to be scared of that if it was done before.
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:40
			If it was done before,
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:59
			not to be a scare tactic, brothers and sisters in Islam. When Allah subhanho wa Taala spoke about
the penal code, the penal the criminal punishment in Islam, to the one who commits adultery. He
said, Well Yeshe had
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:14
			Either bavuma pause if a two minute mean and let movement believers witness the execution of this
Why? That is how you make it a scare tactic. Then they know
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:25
			but it's not meant to be a scare tactic. That's not the initial reason my dear brother May Allah
subhanho wa Taala guide you
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:28
			may Allah subhanho wa Taala guide you
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:33
			may Allah subhanho wa Taala guide you brothers and sisters in Islam
