Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa Salatu was Salam ala Ashrafi lambier Evil mursaleen

Muhammad Rasool Allah is Allah Allah Allah He write it he was so happy he was sending them this leave on the theorem cathedra from Abba.

My brothers and sisters Salam, alikoum Curatola.

May Allah bless all of you

sallam said for people who

take the trouble who go in search of knowledge,

the angels spread their wings for them to walk over

and all of creation, and the Sorcerer is a loser, including ants in the ant hills and the fish in the sea, the prey and make dua for that person.

So you ask ALLAH SubhanA, Allah to make us all among those who will be counted among those who went to

went in search of knowledge, Inshallah, ask us monetarily to make this

course beneficial for all of you, and may Allah subhanaw taala cause this to be a witness for us on the day when we will meet him.

Now,

by definition, obviously, because I'm going to be speaking about Islam, and

there will be bits of Quran and so on and so forth. And also technical terminology, then I would,

I'm going to go,

I'm going to leave the questions to you, whatever you don't understand, just raise your hand, throw an egg or whatever, and then I'll answer the question. So if you don't ask me, I don't tell you write, I'm assuming.

I'm assuming that you know it. Inshallah, the

purpose of knowledge or the benefit of knowledge comes when you take the time and trouble and effort to seek it.

And so therefore, I think that is very important thing twice. I said, Two out of that, we

I'm going to ask you to bring your notepads or whatnot, take notes, ask questions with all of this is beneficial, right? So make the effort, it's worth it.

The title of this course is what do we believe? And by we meaning what do we Muslims believe? Now, this is a very important part because

Islam is not the name of a race, or nationality or anything like that. It's an ever set of beliefs.

And anybody who believes those things in their heart, and who lives by them is a Muslim.

And doesn't matter which nationality race or whatnot right. So, it is very important therefore, to know, what is it that we as Muslims believe?

So let me ask you the question, how many of you

how many of you believe

that we Muslim we believe in one God?

Wrong answer.

Wrong answer, why?

Will not be we do not believe in one God. We believe in Allah subhanho wa taala.

Right, somebody says, I believe only Jesus as God. I believe only in Ganesha as God, only one God, nobody else.

Is a personal Muslim. No.

The belief in Allah subhanho wa taala.

With that name, and with what we understand by that which we will talk about, shall

we say La ilaha illa what?

Allah La ilaha IL Allah do you say La ilaha illa illa huwa

No, you don't say there's no one worthy of worship except one God? No. He said there's no one worthy of worship except Allah.

Right. So La ilaha illAllah. Just this is just like a trailer or test or two thing.

How many of you know what we know as the IMA and mu fossil then the

detailed definition of iman in Arabic? Anybody?

So make that into your first job. Don't go to bed tonight without memory.

I

am asking you really

kindergarten level questions

not even preschool level questions so nothing to be ashamed of everyone everyone starts aware we have to learn but also be aware of the fact that this is stuff that you should be you should know in your sleep

now even animal fossil which is the detail the man what do you model muscles believe if somebody asked you tell me one sentence the sentence is I want to be lahaie wamalwa ekati Akoto V BE Russo Lee?

What?

Bossa remote

McAdory KDE where shall we human Allah Allah

while Yama Lhasa

right? You get the order this way or that way. But that's the whole

thing. So what does it mean? It means I want to be left. I believe in Allah.

Wa Mala G, and I believe in His angels

work to be and I believe in his books.

Were also Lee and I believe in His prophets and messengers. While you're Malarkey, and I believe in the last day

work, how did he hide? He was Sheree, when Elijah and I believe in destiny, the good of it and the bad of it are both from Allah

wa Barcia battle mode, and I believe in being resurrected after this.

Right?

Is it clear everybody? Yes.

Now, why is

this important?

Why is this belief important? Why is it the importance?

Because, as I mentioned you that is what Islam is, Islam is to believe.

Clear, clearly, voluntarily, consciously, totally without doubts, and then to live by that belief.

So to give you just one example, supposing I say I believe in Allah,

so what must follow?

No, no, not marega. You say, I believe in Allah, therefore what must happen? Yes.

You follow what He commanded us to do? What is the number one commandment or that?

Salah tell us. Right? Why? Because you said, when you enter Islam, what do you say?

What do you say?

I shall do a la ilaha illAllah? What does it mean?

That there is

no

see how much you got to the fundamental, is very, very important. There's no one

worthy of worship therefore Illa what is the law?

What is said and done entirely wrong. And just putting on a liberal I was saying, God, God is worthy of worship, but it is specific to a very, very clear, right. So you say no one worthy of worship, you say no one worthy of worship, therefore what must you do?

Worship. Exactly, exactly. So supposing I say I shall do Allah Allah Allah, Allah, I believe that there is no one worthy of worship except Allah but I don't pray

then.

Then by my not praying, I have denied my statement, that there is no one worthy of worship except Allah. That is why in Islam, the emphasis on action,

emphasis on action Islam we say, Islam is about being just two people. So what must you do? We just don't oppress anybody.

I can't say Islam believes in justice and then I go and you know, grab somebody else's property isn't known.

Doesn't work like there has to be the belief has to be translated into actual action.

Islam is the name of a practice. It's not just mo theology is not a philosophy is not a school of thought. Right? It's a name of a practice. A Muslim is the one who practices Islam.

Why do we need to learn about Islam so that we can practice it?

So obviously, the theory is important, because unless you know the theory, how do you practice

but if you know the theory, you don't practice

Then you're not a Muslim. You can know. Anybody can learn about Islam just like anybody can learn anything.

And you can know and I happen to know people who are extremely knowledgeable. They have

the Arabic language, they know the Arabic language at a native speaker, native Nora level.

Right?

They have memorized parts of the Quran as well, because for the TC book, mostly their professors, so it's to teach and so on. So they know many ayat of the Quran and so on and so forth. But they're all Muslim.

So knowing all of that

doesn't make them Muslim.

Islam is the name of a practice one who practices Islam is a Muslim, the one who does not practice Islam is not a Muslim. And that's the choice you make.

It's up to you.

And that's why I say there's a there's a difference between an Islamic scholar and a Muslim scholar and Islamic scholar is anybody who wrote the word Islam

doesn't have to be a Muslim, but a Muslim scholar to the Muslim first and then he does call or she does call.

Allah subhanaw taala mentioned about Islam in the Hydra Allah subhanaw taala said in our book we know now Lavina Armando Billahi whereas holy Samba la mia or double what yeah, how do we avoid him unforeseen visa vie LA, he will la eco hobo Saudi Hoon? Allah subhanaw taala said, which means only those people are believers, who believed in Allah Subhana Allah and His Messenger, and afterwards they do not doubt.

So ask all the questions in the world you want to ask? Once you have satisfied yourself once you enter Islam, then no doubt.

Right? So Islam is not blind faith. Sometimes they will ask you what is the blind faith?

It's faith with knowledge. Why do you obey Allah because we know Allah.

Why do we obey and believe Muhammad sallallahu alayhi salam because we know him and we know is the fact that he was on the truth.

And this is how we deserve a negotiator and navigate life. Right?

If you go to if you go to a to a to physician, before going to the physician you satisfy yourself that this person is the right physician for me to see.

Once you go there you don't ask him for his for his degree and and certificates and say, How do I know you're a physician? Now?

That's something for you to determine before you go into his office, but once you are in there, you are there from a position I believe, yes, I know this was the right person. He or she knows this stuff, and I am in need of them. And therefore I'm here. And then the village says, Look, do this do that take this medicine don't take their medicine. It is odd that you don't question you do it. So somebody says you blindly Have Faith No, no, I don't have blind faith in the village I made sure that this is the right person before I entered the office. But once I've entered the office Hamdulillah I trust

so our trust in Islam is based on knowledge.

There is no mythology in Islam. There are stories in Islam. No, you know, fairy tales. No, Islam is a religion, which is based on beliefs on evidence.

And that's the reason why it's important to learn it.

This is why it's important to learn it right.

Above all you have asked for it welcome Melissa Buscemi first of all in our for rain.
