00:00:00 --> 00:00:02

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious,

00:00:02 --> 00:00:02

the Ever Merciful.

00:00:02 --> 00:00:03

All praise is due to Allah, Lord of

00:00:03 --> 00:00:04

the worlds.

00:00:04 --> 00:00:07

And peace and blessings be upon the messengers

00:00:07 --> 00:00:07

and prophets.

00:00:08 --> 00:00:09

And peace and blessings be upon the Messenger

00:00:09 --> 00:00:10

of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him

00:00:10 --> 00:00:11

and his family.

00:00:16 --> 00:00:19

My brothers and sisters, I want to wrap

00:00:19 --> 00:00:23

up what I was talking about with relation

00:00:23 --> 00:00:28

to the Industrial Revolution and currently the AI

00:00:28 --> 00:00:29

revolution that we are in.

00:00:29 --> 00:00:32

And the challenges that we will face.

00:00:34 --> 00:00:39

The biggest challenge that we will face, which

00:00:39 --> 00:00:43

we are facing to some extent, will be

00:00:43 --> 00:00:45

the challenge to our faith.

00:00:47 --> 00:00:50

Challenge to yaqeen and tawakkul on Allah.

00:00:51 --> 00:00:54

Challenge to our faith in Allah, subhanahu wa

00:00:54 --> 00:00:54

ta'ala.

00:00:56 --> 00:01:01

Because what AI will do is to reinforce

00:01:01 --> 00:01:07

the power of the creation, the power of

00:01:07 --> 00:01:16

the maflook, by manipulating reality, by virtual reality,

00:01:18 --> 00:01:25

by showing us the power of computation, which

00:01:25 --> 00:01:29

is what it is, in different ways.

00:01:33 --> 00:01:41

And that will diminish, if we allow in

00:01:41 --> 00:01:46

our minds, our faith and yaqeen on Allah,

00:01:46 --> 00:01:47

subhanahu wa ta'ala.

00:01:51 --> 00:01:53

And that is one reason, among many reasons,

00:01:53 --> 00:01:56

why it is very important to get close

00:01:56 --> 00:01:57

to the Quran al-Karim.

00:01:59 --> 00:02:07

Because the antidote, the antidote to this toxin

00:02:07 --> 00:02:11

of the greatness of the creation is to

00:02:11 --> 00:02:13

connect with the Creator, Jalla Jalaluhu.

00:02:15 --> 00:02:16

AI is a tool.

00:02:19 --> 00:02:20

It's a very useful tool.

00:02:24 --> 00:02:25

But just because a knife is made of

00:02:25 --> 00:02:27

gold, you don't stab yourself with it.

00:02:30 --> 00:02:32

It is a tool to be used.

00:02:35 --> 00:02:37

But if you get involved with the tool,

00:02:38 --> 00:02:39

you forget the tool-maker.

00:02:44 --> 00:02:46

There have been challenges and there will be

00:02:46 --> 00:02:46

challenges.

00:02:50 --> 00:02:55

So connect yourself to Allah, even more strongly

00:02:55 --> 00:02:56

than before.

00:02:58 --> 00:03:02

Otherwise, you will be ripped out and you

00:03:02 --> 00:03:06

will fly away in the wind and the

00:03:06 --> 00:03:09

typhoon and the tufail of kufr and shirk,

00:03:10 --> 00:03:13

like a blade of grass, if you don't

00:03:13 --> 00:03:17

hold firmly to the rope of Allah.

00:03:19 --> 00:03:23

So a'tasimu bi habli Allahi jami'an wa

00:03:23 --> 00:03:23

la tafarraqun.

00:03:26 --> 00:03:31

As I mentioned to you, AI will automate

00:03:31 --> 00:03:32

and is already automating.

00:03:32 --> 00:03:35

Everything which can be automated will be automated.

00:03:36 --> 00:03:38

Everything which is repetitive will go away.

00:03:39 --> 00:03:42

Everything which a machine can do, the machine

00:03:42 --> 00:03:42

will do.

00:03:46 --> 00:03:52

But in my assessment, there are seven critical

00:03:52 --> 00:03:57

skills that AI cannot tackle, cannot deal with.

00:03:58 --> 00:04:04

And if you want survival, get yourself educated

00:04:04 --> 00:04:05

in those skills.

00:04:06 --> 00:04:09

The first one is adaptability.

00:04:10 --> 00:04:14

The willingness to change, which means the willingness

00:04:14 --> 00:04:18

to learn, which means the willingness to get

00:04:18 --> 00:04:20

off your high seat and thinking that you

00:04:20 --> 00:04:20

are the expert.

00:04:20 --> 00:04:21

You are not the expert.

00:04:21 --> 00:04:21

You have to learn.

00:04:24 --> 00:04:26

And learning means go back to the basics.

00:04:29 --> 00:04:31

You have to go and sit in the

00:04:31 --> 00:04:34

class with kids.

00:04:36 --> 00:04:38

Second one, critical thinking.

00:04:40 --> 00:04:42

Critical thinking is not criticising.

00:04:44 --> 00:04:47

Critical thinking is the ability to analyse data.

00:04:48 --> 00:04:50

Because one of the biggest problems we have

00:04:50 --> 00:04:53

today is we are flooded with data.

00:04:53 --> 00:04:55

We don't have too little information, we have

00:04:55 --> 00:04:56

too much information.

00:05:00 --> 00:05:02

Somebody did an analysis and they said the

00:05:02 --> 00:05:05

New York Times, just the one newspaper today,

00:05:05 --> 00:05:11

every day has more information than people had

00:05:11 --> 00:05:13

for a thousand years, a hundred years ago.

00:05:16 --> 00:05:17

We are flooded with information.

00:05:18 --> 00:05:20

Plus we have social media.

00:05:23 --> 00:05:26

And every day I hear stories of the

00:05:26 --> 00:05:27

problem of social media.

00:05:30 --> 00:05:35

Social media, biggest problem, biggest fitra.

00:05:39 --> 00:05:40

So, critical thinking.

00:05:41 --> 00:05:44

Third one is the ability to communicate, communicating

00:05:44 --> 00:05:44

ability.

00:05:45 --> 00:05:47

The ability to talk, not just give speeches.

00:05:48 --> 00:05:50

The ability to talk to each other, to

00:05:50 --> 00:05:52

convey, to listen.

00:05:53 --> 00:05:55

Communication is not only talking, it's listening.

00:05:57 --> 00:06:01

Fourth one is emotional intelligence.

00:06:04 --> 00:06:05

Now that's a long topic, so I'm not

00:06:05 --> 00:06:09

going to discuss that here, but emotional intelligence

00:06:09 --> 00:06:10

is different from IQ.

00:06:12 --> 00:06:14

Fifth one is conflict resolution.

00:06:16 --> 00:06:19

One of the biggest skills, and no AI

00:06:19 --> 00:06:21

can solve that, no computer can solve it.

00:06:21 --> 00:06:22

You need human beings.

00:06:23 --> 00:06:24

Conflict resolution.

00:06:28 --> 00:06:30

Especially in marriages, they're in a very, very

00:06:30 --> 00:06:31

big hurry to get married.

00:06:33 --> 00:06:35

And then six months later, gone.

00:06:38 --> 00:06:40

And if you actually sit, I do this,

00:06:40 --> 00:06:42

I actually sit down, I tell them what

00:06:42 --> 00:06:43

it is, take a piece of paper, now

00:06:43 --> 00:06:46

write down on this one side, all the

00:06:46 --> 00:06:48

reasons you married this woman, or all the

00:06:48 --> 00:06:49

reasons you married this man.

00:06:51 --> 00:06:52

What did you like about them?

00:06:52 --> 00:06:53

So, one, two, three, four, five, six.

00:06:54 --> 00:06:56

Then you say, I exchanged these two papers.

00:06:57 --> 00:06:58

Say, what happened to these?

00:07:00 --> 00:07:01

They all disappeared?

00:07:02 --> 00:07:04

You were drunk when you were looking at

00:07:04 --> 00:07:05

him, what was the story?

00:07:06 --> 00:07:07

How come he had all this, now suddenly

00:07:07 --> 00:07:08

six months later, nothing is there?

00:07:14 --> 00:07:16

Because no ability to resolve conflicts.

00:07:16 --> 00:07:17

Small things.

00:07:24 --> 00:07:26

And the last one is problem solving.

00:07:29 --> 00:07:30

Problem solving.

00:07:31 --> 00:07:33

It's not only problem for yourself, but problem

00:07:33 --> 00:07:34

solving for others.

00:07:38 --> 00:07:40

So, start working on these things.

00:07:41 --> 00:07:41

Learn these skills.

00:07:47 --> 00:07:48

They're not difficult to learn.

00:07:50 --> 00:07:51

But we have to apply.

00:07:52 --> 00:07:55

You have to go to somebody who can

00:07:55 --> 00:07:55

teach you.

00:07:59 --> 00:08:01

Brothers and sisters, we are looking at a

00:08:01 --> 00:08:02

world which is going to be very, very,

00:08:02 --> 00:08:04

very different from whatever you have come from.

00:08:07 --> 00:08:11

And like anywhere else, if you adapt, you

00:08:11 --> 00:08:11

survive.

00:08:12 --> 00:08:14

If you don't adapt, you perish.

00:08:17 --> 00:08:19

But if you want to go more than

00:08:19 --> 00:08:22

survive, if you want to really benefit, if

00:08:22 --> 00:08:24

you want to really win in that, then

00:08:24 --> 00:08:27

you have to anticipate and prepare in advance.

00:08:28 --> 00:08:29

Not when the change comes.

00:08:31 --> 00:08:33

Anticipate the change and prepare in advance.

00:08:34 --> 00:08:35

Then when the change comes, you're ready.

00:08:40 --> 00:08:40

Right?

00:08:41 --> 00:08:43

Ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to open

00:08:43 --> 00:08:45

our eyes to what we are facing.

00:08:46 --> 00:08:47

Ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to open

00:08:47 --> 00:08:49

our hearts to Himself and His khashiyah and

00:08:49 --> 00:08:53

His power, His glory and majesty.

00:08:54 --> 00:08:55

Ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to connect

00:08:55 --> 00:08:56

us to the Quran.

00:08:57 --> 00:08:58

Ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to help

00:08:58 --> 00:09:00

us to understand His Kalam, to learn to

00:09:00 --> 00:09:03

read it, to love His Kalam, because that

00:09:03 --> 00:09:06

is the closest that we will come to

00:09:06 --> 00:09:08

Allah in this life is through His Kalam.

00:09:09 --> 00:09:10

The Kalam is the Sifat of Allah.

00:09:11 --> 00:09:11

It's not a created thing.

00:09:12 --> 00:09:15

We cannot see Allah, but we can read

00:09:15 --> 00:09:16

and listen to His Kalam.

00:09:17 --> 00:09:19

So learn to love the Quran al-Karim.

00:09:20 --> 00:09:21

Learn the Arabic language.

00:09:22 --> 00:09:26

Anybody who does not know Arabic language at

00:09:26 --> 00:09:30

the level of an expert, native level, and

00:09:30 --> 00:09:33

he thinks that he can understand the Quran

00:09:33 --> 00:09:34

is fooling himself.

00:09:37 --> 00:09:40

You can read, you can understand, you can

00:09:40 --> 00:09:44

read some translation, but if you think you

00:09:44 --> 00:09:47

can understand the Kalam of Allah without knowing

00:09:47 --> 00:09:50

the language, you're fooling yourself.

00:09:54 --> 00:09:54

So learn.

00:09:55 --> 00:09:58

English, we didn't come out of our mother's

00:09:58 --> 00:09:59

belly speaking English.

00:09:59 --> 00:10:00

How can we speak English?

00:10:01 --> 00:10:01

Because we learned.

00:10:02 --> 00:10:03

So let us learn.

00:10:04 --> 00:10:07

Learn the language, connect to the Quran al

00:10:07 --> 00:10:07

-Karim.

00:10:09 --> 00:10:12

I ask Allah to help us to take

00:10:12 --> 00:10:15

benefit from what He has given us, and

00:10:15 --> 00:10:16

to thank Him for it.

00:10:16 --> 00:10:18

And we ask Allah to be pleased with

00:10:18 --> 00:10:19

us and never to be displeased.

00:10:20 --> 00:10:21

And peace and blessings be upon the Prophet

00:10:21 --> 00:10:22

and his family and companions.
