Mirza Yawar Baig – Dont get brainwashed

Bismillah, 100 Illah wa Salat was Salaam warah, Rasoolallah wa Allah

Ali. He was happy. He or Oba, my dear

brothers and sisters,

one of the most powerful

and well known ways

to destroy

a nation,

be it at an individual level of a person and his family or her

family, or at the collective level of the nation. And by nation, I

don't mean a

political state. I mean nation, as in a people,

one of the most powerful and one of the oldest ways,

is to make them forget their history

and to make them hate their history.

In other words, hate themselves. Now

you might say, well, this sound like a tall prescription, but

that's the reason why you should read history.

What the

This was done throughout the ages, but it was done in a very vicious,

very organized and very powerful way during the colonial period,

which

is called by different names, but the European colonial period,

where Europeans

went out of Europe, which at that time was a place where

they had military power, military superiority,

and thanks to

almost, I must say,

almost uniquely, thanks to sailing ships that could cross the big

oceans, and this was the tall ships,

which were different from the catamarans of the Polynesians, The

long ships of the Vikings, the dhows of the Arabs, all of which

predated European navies.

But when European navies came on the scene,

they outperformed all of these thanks to the design of the tall

ship, which enabled it to cross

the big oceans, and of course, at that time, also the

the availability, the propagation, the use of gunpowder, so the use

of cannon. Now, once again,

the Ottomans, for example, and the malls

and the Safavids. They were, these were called the gunpowder empires.

They used cannon long before the Europeans. The Chinese used

cannons centuries before the European and the others yet,

because the Chinese used it in the used used gunpowder in the 13th

and 12th and 13th centuries.

Despite all that, the fact remains that these European powers, they

conquered and

and colonized and occupied

most or almost all

of the known world at the time, except China and Japan

and some of those,

those, those lands They kept

permanently,

like Australia, like the United States,

and like Canada and others, they gave up after having sucked them

dry of all their resources, like India, for example, or like

Africa, and installed in them their own people who were

dark skinned on the outside, but white inside. I don't mean that in

a racist manner. I mean that in an ideological manner, who believed

and

who believed the same principles as the colonial as their colonial

masters. Now, the way they did all of that was by making the locals

do these two things. One is forget the history, and then the second

one was to learn to hate themselves.

Now forgetting the history was relatively easy in that they just

stopped teaching it

in schools to the set of schools in.

In the Name of education and basically, these were training

places to produce low level employees for the colonial

government,

whether it was civil service and so forth. For you know, the

majority of the colonial period, the locals never could even,

couldn't even aspire to senior or even middle level positions in the

judiciary, in the civil service, in the police, in the military,

but they needed to learn to read and write and to understand the

systems of the colonial so they were sent to school. Now, in these

schools,

their local history, their local culture, their local traditions,

much less religion, were not taught at all. Instead, they were

taught a distorted version of history, and believe it or not,

even geography, which made their countries and their cultures look

small and insignificant and violent and backward and

regressive, whereas the white man's culture, the white man's

religion, the white man's social norms and so on. These got

precedence, and these were extolled and they were glorified,

and frankly, falsified. I mean, in the in the context of the reality,

they were falsified this, this lying version of history was

taught. But what was even more powerful

was the substitution of

now, including, for example, just to give you some examples, if you

look at the usual dress of a doorman

in

in any major five star hotel, you will find a gentleman who is

wearing a pagadi, who is wearing a turban, who is wearing a long coat

that goes below his knees, and He is wearing trousers and so on.

Looks very smart, but he's a doorman. And that was the dress of

the Indian Maharaja. If you look at old pictures of the Maharajas

and so on in India, this was how kings dressed. And that became the

dress of the doorman. Though you will never find a hotel General

Manager wearing that dress. You will do, or you will not find even

the the housekeeping person inside, donor outside, on the on

the street, the doorman.

We have actual pictures of,

and I have, I think I have one of them which I will post on this. I

asked uma to post on this,

which says, is one I have which of us of similar club in in India,

North India, which says, dogs and Indians not allowed. So the

Indians in the in the British clubs were could be servants. And

they were servants. They were the people served you over the cooks

and the

waiters and the butlers. But they had they could not sit in your

presence. The rule was that they couldn't even wear shoes your

presence. So you had this Butler

dressed in a

in a close collar court, white with gloves and no shoes, and he

had to walk barefoot. Try and do that in a in a in UT Inshallah, in

Darjeeling in the winter is not pleasant, to say the least. But

this is the this is how it was it was done so in terms of of

culture, of tradition, of clothing, we were taught to hate

ourselves. The same thing happened in Africa, all over Africa, the

same thing happened. Africa was a dark continent inhabited by by

animals and by, you know, cannibals and condos, all sorts of

horrible stuff.

No question of any civilization. Civilization in Africa were like

two different

words, the culture and tradition and Africa were like two different

concepts, the complete and total falsehood, complete and total

falsehood, and finally, also the after the Great

Transatlantic African

Atlantic slavery operation, which transported

12 million Africans forcibly from Africa to America, and probably

more than that number died in transit, to the extent where

sharks used to follow slave ships, they were just dumped overboard,

not even counted in.

And they built America. And I'm just giving one example. They

literally built this country. But you never see any African name

being taken with honor when it comes to building of the country.

On the other hand, you have this tradition I've seen in in

Australia as well as in America, and I am assuming that the same

thing happens in New Zealand, where you have the haka, which is

the New Zealand Maori,

Maori victory dance, which people do

nowadays in nice white Public Schools

ask, What happened to the Maoris. The same thing happens, as I said,

America here, which is that any official function begins with two

minutes of silence to honor the original inhabitants, in many

cases, the places where this honor is being bestowed upon them, our

buildings, our colleges, our you know, places which from which

these original inhabitants were literally annihilated, the

colonial settler mentality, they were literally annihilated. Men,

women, children were killed and dumped. Their lands were taken

over. And now we stand in two minutes of

of silence, the finest example of hypocrisy, and say, we are

honoring those people. And my question always, I asked one of

the one of the people ordering, I said, Well, how about returning

this land to them? There are still some, you know, remnants of those

people, the aboriginals in Australia, the Native Americans in

India, who are on reservations or just wandering around. How about

giving it back to them, that would, that would really be honor,

right? So from when you are sitting there, just get out of

this place. It doesn't belong to you. Give it back to them or pay

for, pay them for it in today's in today's money. Give them that

money for instead of signing and saying, we are honoring. But this

is the reality. The reality is what they did, same thing they do

with Islam and Muslims who are the current target and one of the ways

in which they do that. And may Allah forgive us. We have our

Muslim so called intellectuals who like to call themselves

intellectuals, people who have studied in in western colleges,

universities,

to a to the final tertiary level, which includes people like me. I

studied in some of the finest schools. I studied in the best

public school in the country, the Hyderabad public school. I had

British teachers and masters. I

got an MBA from the number one MBA College in India, business school

in India, the I Am Ahmedabad and so on, and so my point is that

I've been through the whole system. My eyes are open to that.

What they do with Muslims is to make us feel that our culture, our

ways, our traditions, our way of dressing, our ways of looking,

are regressive. They are

they are despicable. They are horrible. They must not be. We

must not do these things right, and if we insist that at least try

to hide it. So shave your beards, take off your hijabs, pretend that

you are not Muslim, so that people will not think that you are

regressive and so on. The tragedies that we have bought

this, I hear these statements from our own people, and one of the one

of the big targets of this, are the Ulama. Are the are the

scholars of Islam, which who are bracketed as being ignorant and

uneducated. Now imagine here is a person who is a harvest of the

Quran, who, the you know, who studied the religious texts, the

Hadith, sunnah, so on, so forth, who's practicing it? And you said,

this person uneducated, where the whereas the Muslim who's making

this statement, you go to his or her house and say, Bring out your

children and get them to recite sorodham Fatiha correctly. Get the

same person who's calling the Ulama are educated, and say, my

brother, my sister, please recite. And you will see that they cannot

even recite sorodham Fatiha correctly with tajbir. Yet they

are not ashamed of that they are not they should be completely and

totally ashamed that they are in the state where the rokkr of the

Salah, the pillar of the Salah, they cannot perform properly. They

are not ashamed at all. Doesn't doesn't bother them. However, they

call the olava, the people who have spent their lives and

dedicated their lives to preserving and to teaching and

propagating the holy texts of our religion and our culture, they

brand them as uneducated, and who does that, not the outsider, the

Insider? We Muslims. Please don't fall into this trap. This is a

trap which makes you

which.

Makes you hate yourself. Don't use words because words which are

loaded with with a political, negative, political

and cultural connotations that don't use these words. These words

are because the one they remember, the one who owns the language,

owns the debate. We use these words and these words malign us. I

mean, please have some intelligence. Don't go and you

know, suicide is halama. This is, this is the kind of suicide that

we are doing, where we are using words and so on, which, which

destroy our own opinion about our own culture, how evil and how

horrible and how stupid is that so our brothers and sisters, please,

learn the deed. The counter to all of this is knowledge. Learn the

deen. Learn Islam. Learn the Arabic language. Learn to read the

Quran correctly. Learn to take joy in the recitation of the Quran.

Learn to understand the Quran. Learn to understand the Hadith.

Learn to love Muhammad rasulallah, without which love you and I

cannot be guided. Learn to love the rasulallah. Learn to love his

companions. Learn to love the culture, the the ideology, the

akhlaq, the behavior, the Marilla, the dealings and relationships

with people, the mahashra, the culture that he and his Sahaba,

his companions, propagated, and which Allah subhanahu wa ex

stalled, and ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala praise, learn to love those

things, not the stuff which goes opposite to that, and do not mouth

the platitudes and do not mount mouth, the the the calumnies and

the and the and the false accusations that the enemies of

Islam have taught us to use. I mean, how tragic is that we have

got to a stage where we don't even need them to say to us, we say to

ourselves, we are in a state of self flagellation, of beating

ourselves up to please other people, please stop doing that.

Take pride in your in yourself. Alhamdulillah. We have a religion

that was sent by Allah. We have we follow a messenger who was the

Messenger of Allah, sallAllahu, alaihi salam. And we have a way

which Allah subhanho wa Taala likes. Who cares whether anyone

else likes it or doesn't like it? Who cares think about whether

Allah subhanaw taala likes it not because of the Day of Judgment.

Believe me, you and I will stand before Allah. And the only thing

which will matter there is, Did Allah like me or not? Did Allah

like my behavior or not? Did Allah like my actions are not what the

world thought about. It is not worth

All right, I'll let you finish this that sentence. Please don't

fall into this trap. We ask Allah to guide us and help us and keep

us on the other street and Barrow, which leads to him and his Rida

was a while Ali, he was Habiba Rahat.
