Mirza Yawar Baig – Fajr Reminder Allah’s creative power is eternal

			Bismillah was salam ala Rasulillah. But you will remember some of the further reminders I made here
in imagining a park in West Springfield. And I was aware of
		

			the beginning of the of the fall in Florida.
		

			And when I got back here, the fall is almost over. So
		

			I missed seeing the colors that they were changing.
		

			We got some of them from actually to the wire. But now I'm just wanting to show you how dramatic is
the change, what we're lush green trees are now completely bare, and the ground is littered with.
		

			We live
		

			all the way down. It has been raining quite a lot. So that also created some of this
		

			leaf fall rather early. But I guess that's part of the game.
		

			But you will see how some colors still remains. So some leaves are still on top, haven't fallen yet.
So some color still remains. And
		

			spectacular. I mean, even with the leaves all down, it's a spectacular landscape. And of course I
was the color still there.
		

			And amazing. With that yellow, there's that delicate pink, we have some more coming up.
		

			See that one in the
		

			in the
		

			frightful front there
		

			as well. Lots of colorful,
		

			the
		

			magnificence of ALLAH SubhanA das creation, and his creative powers can
		

			can't possibly be spoken about, I don't think I have the power to actually say this on a day that in
		

			any way that does justice to it, but we still try to do the best we could do. And so we can see the
power of the creative, the greater power of Allah subhanaw taala
		

			constantly around us the whole time. And that's what I keep saying to myself, I knew that
		

			life is full of learning opportunities. And if you have with you, your children, students, life is
full of teaching opportunities, and the two are related. Because every teaching opportunity is a
learning opportunity.
		

			And vice versa. So it's
		

			something that one must be aware of and take full advantage of
		

			and ensure that you and we learn the lessons that
		

			I have chosen to,
		

			you know to present before us.
		

			Everyone looks with the same eyes. But as we all know the eyes are merely cameras.
		

			We really see with our hearts. And that is the difference between Basa and Basia between sight and
insight. And
		

			bots it is where the learning takes place. Not bizarre and everything, everything looks at anything
with eyes can see what you and I are seeing and for most creatures
		

			on a lot of it not most but a lot of them since they probably see it much more clearly
		

			than we do what what they don't see in some cases, if not a lot of them is the
		

			the multiple colors and
		

			the
		

			beautiful smells and the whole aroma.
		

			I'm absolutely without shame and without doubt a jungle person forest person.
		

			And
		

			that doesn't sound very nice. And who do I know jungle person is generally
		

			so which is not particularly polite to set yourself.
		

			There were some close ups of these leads which have changed color.
		

			I don't know what these plants are called. And I concern myself by saying that the plants don't know
either. Because after all, these are names that we human beings give them they didn't ask for that
name and
		

			they don't know the name so
		

			I'm not trying to justify my ignorance just to
		

			go easy on myself.
		

			So there you go. This is
		

			where I'm standing
		

			In
		

			the middle of this forest,
		

			muttering to your park,
		

			seeing and looking at the holder of ALLAH SubhanA, horadada Gela developer
		

			ready so Halloween
		

			think this is the critical thing. And this is the most important thing that we can do to ourselves,
		

			which is to know Allah subhanaw taala.
		

			And the more difficult situations that we face. And today, perhaps you're facing one of the most
difficult it certainly in my lifetime, the most difficult situation to look at to watch. I mean, I
don't for a moment, try to imagine or equate my experience with the difficulty with the people who
are actually undergoing that difficulty in for the state. But I'm just saying that, you know, for
me,
		

			as a viewer, somebody who is,
		

			is
		

			deeply who deeply believes in the sanctity of all life, especially human lives, and
		

			believes in the,
		

			in the will believe that war is an evil thing. And we believe that it's high time that we really
progressed in our thinking, by changing the way our society is structured and such, so that we do
not have to have wars.
		

			Wars happened for only one reason, which is not political, which is economic. And that is to give
the maximum ROI, the maximum ROI, or return on investment, to those who are
		

			who are invested in
		

			weapons and munitions of war, there is no reason
		

			there's no premeditated reason there's nothing. It's just this.
		

			We are even past the time when wars were fought to conquer territory.
		

			And then to
		

			join that territory into colonies. So that they would yield economic returns. We along with we have,
as you know, a couple of centuries past that, that was 18th centuries, yeah, and 21st century.
		

			So wars are not no longer fought for that reason for not for conquest of territory, in order to
increase the size of the colony or to administer the territory or something no wars are just fought
because they make money for the people who have investments in the war machine. In all its aspects,
the manufacture of weapons and weaponry, manufactured munitions, the
		

			machinery is
		

			what they call contractors.
		

			Amazing, amazing.
		

			So the question is that
		

			the question which we should be asking is named for me one single constructive thing that comes out
of this out of these wars, irrespective of which one it is, irrespective of that one constructive
thing that comes out of it? For the common person, for the common man or woman? I'm certainly one of
them. And I think most of you who listen to this podcast are among the common people. So if you
don't ask questions, just named the war, randomly write write a list of the wars fought in the last
even 100 years, and throw a dart at it and and say, Well, what came out of this, which was
beneficial to the common person?
		

			And you have the answer? And the answer is one single word, which is nothing.
		

			There's a tree on my right,
		

			which looks like a maple. And to see the color of that, how beautiful it is, and against the blue
sky.
		

			Simply fabulous.
		

			So we need to,
		

			we need to bring about this in and truly, truly, truly. So think about that. If you think about the
		

			kind of investment, just numbers. So that's why I said it's all about economics. It's not about
politics. It's not about religion, although all of these are the smokescreens behind, which was for
		

			people to try and tell you that the war is being fought for religious reasons, or it's being fought
for this great and amazing ideals of justice, and freedom and whatnot. All of that is complete, an
adult rated on cyclable
		

			garbage
		

			wars are fought for one reason only economic, and that economic also doesn't even translate to
benefit for
		

			the common people of the countries which are involved in that war.
		

			Soldiers Go and die. Those who come back, nobody cares a hoot about them.
		

			drive on the roads in America and see the number of homeless people who will have a sign saying, I
know I'm a veteran.
		

			Why is the man irrespective we are not talking about? Was he fighting a just war? Or was he
fighting? unjust war? You know, was he virtuous and righteous doing that or not? We're talking,
we're just saying that why is a man or woman who fought in a war for their nation who suffered in
that war came back? Probably with,
		

			you know,
		

			all kinds of psychological issues.
		

			Why is that person living out of a shopping cart, on a street corner, begging for money? Why?
		

			I mean, what more is required to show somebody's loyalty to the nation than the fact that that
person
		

			enrolled in the army, and put his life on the line for what he at least what he thought was for the
nation, what he didn't realize that it was for
		

			the benefit of the billionaires who sell war munitions, whose sons and daughters did not stand
shoulder to shoulder with him in that fight.
		

			They were busy guarding money, the money being made, because this man and others like him, put their
lives on the line for this war to be to be prosecuted for this war to happen.
		

			So
		

			think about that, even people who are
		

			deeply invested, and who have literally put their lives on the line for the war.
		

			What are they getting out of it?
		

			The short answer is nothing. So what do you think? Anybody else gets out of it?
		

			Nothing.
		

			This is the whole this is the whole futility of it I really beautiful, why
		

			the people of the countries
		

			don't rise up and say no war. I know it's happening in sports. In some countries, where people are,
you know, saying ceasefire, no war, I guess, let's get out of it as one. But I think we need a lot
more.
		

			A great deal more with
		

			one of the joys of democracy. And I wouldn't exceed the accuracy for anything.
		

			Ever, really, I really have no
		

			alternative to democracy. But one of the joys of democracy is that you can actually raise your
voice, you can protest you can write, you can speak.
		

			And you can do that with relative safety and impurity, which you cannot do in a dictatorship.
		

			But also, what seems to be so stark and clear today, as I speak to is
		

			sometimes I have to remind myself not to, you know, give up, speaking and talking because also what
seems to be quite stark is how powerless these masses are. As I'm talking to you, there are two
cardinals, there's a Mr. Cardinal and Mrs. Cardinal, in those trees. Spectacular. But I think again,
we go back to the issue of the cameras.
		

			So anyway, to come back to the point of making also what is so clear, despite the fact that we have
this
		

			the fact that democracies give people the power to express themselves. Also, it seems as if
sometimes this expression does nothing. So surely it despite that, I wouldn't, I wouldn't exchange a
democracy for any other form of,
		

			of government or any other form of, you know, governing a nation. But
		

			I really have to wonder at the powerlessness of people
		

			despite 1000s and 1000s of them, demonstrating and begging for peace and for ceasefire and for
humanitarian aid in Philistine for example.
		

			As I speak until now, that has not happened. We ask Allah subhanaw taala to
		

			to change that situation, to bring about peace.
		

			To
		

			give solace to the hearts of all those who have been bereaved and to create a system where people do
not need to be believed in this way.
		

			Let us stay with losing our near and dear ones to natural causes and not two causes that are created
by us.
