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.
