			Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil alameen wa salatu salam ala filmbay will
mousseline Muhammad Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam to Sleeman kathira
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:15
			abajo. My dear brothers and sisters,
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:26
			we are on our session on leaving Islam. ask Allah subhanaw taala to
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:36
			enable us to live Islam to practice this religion, this beautiful Deen that he has blessed us with
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:43
			to practice it in our lives in every way in every aspect of our lives.
		
00:00:44 --> 00:01:04
			Understanding the reason why we do that, which is because this is the best way of life that can ever
exist. I'm not saying that from the perspective of being a Muslim, I'm spacing that from a very
logical, critically analytical mindset.
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:09
			So it's not just that I'm saying this, because I'm a Muslim, because I tried to do it myself.
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:21
			I'm told I'm saying this is the best way of living your life, there can be no way which is better
than this. And as I said, this is a
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:26
			this is a critical statement, this is a statement of
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:39
			logically assessing something. And coming to a logical conclusion. This is not an emotional
statement that is based on my love for Allah subhanaw taala, or my love for a soul Isola.
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:48
			I plead guilty to both of them. And Alhamdulillah, May Allah increase that, but I'm saying this is
not from that perspective, this is from the perspective of
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:59
			take it take it any way you like. I mean, I'm a social scientist, for example, if I look at it from
a social science perspective, if I look at it from the perspective of
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:06
			you know, from Organizational Behavior perspective, I look for the look at it from the perspective
of
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:20
			from a legal perspective, whatever I understand of the basic principles of law, I'm not an attorney.
I'm not a lawyer, but I obviously I understand basic principles of law.
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:36
			Take any perspective, the system of Islam, the Islamic way of life, is, without a doubt, the best
system that one can possibly have
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:45
			asked a lot of anatella to enable us to understand that, and therefore and thereby live that system,
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:50
			with confidence, with grace with dignity, unapologetically.
		
00:02:52 --> 00:03:11
			The tragedy today is that we Muslims don't understand the Islamic system. So we have two kinds of
problems. One is we have those who are rigid without understanding. And so they're in their
rigidity. They only project hatred, they only project
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:13
			you know,
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:21
			anger, the confused issues. And so the impression they
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:41
			I mean, apart from the fact that they project a bad impression, it's a it's not so much what, you
know, we're not so much so worried about other people's impressions, but this is something which is
bad for them as well. So the issue is, we have that kind of people then we have the other kind of
people who are
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:49
			on the other end of the spectrum who are highly apologetic. It's almost like saying that they're
sorry, they are Muslim.
		
00:03:51 --> 00:04:14
			They are totally always apologetic about Islam, apologetic about the son of a solemn apologetic
about Koran. And sometimes you want to say to them, Well, you know, why don't you just go away? I
mean, leave Islam, you know, nobody's nobody's stopping the why why are we when they feel so
apologetic about something? I mean, if I, I've always had this
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:48
			principle in my life that I don't do something which I am not confident about. I do not do something
which I'm not proud of. I do not do something that I that I'm not that I don't feel good about
myself. So if I if I if I don't like this religion, if I'm so apologetic about it, then let me leave
it right leave it go somewhere else? Why Why bother? Why are you torturing yourself and you know,
talking nonsense and on sofa, which is what we see a lot of times very apologetic. And then the
Indian ignorance, they talk all kinds of absolute rubbish, which has no sense whatsoever, but they
do that.
		
00:04:49 --> 00:05:00
			And of course, you have those who want to change Islam and completely, you know, remodel it and cast
it in their own image. And obviously, I'm not even gonna talk about that, because that does
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:06
			Doesn't work in any system and it doesn't work in some either. So, the point is that underline shala
you are,
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:08
			you and I we are
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:45
			people who are not in any of these categories inshallah, we are people who love our religion, we are
proud and confident to be Muslims, we are happy to be identified as Muslims we would be try to walk
and talk and look and, and and behave as Muslims. And when I say as Muslims, if you say, Well, what
does that mean? I mean, to behave like Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa salatu salam used to behave to
behave like a solo seller, obviously, it goes without saying that there would be and there will be
		
00:05:47 --> 00:06:17
			a delta, between our standard of behavior and the standard of behavior of our solar system, that is
the beauty of having a high standard, that there will always be a delta, and that delta we see it as
a score for aspiration, we see it as something where, which helps us to improve ourselves to work
harder, and to try to do the best that we can do in order to become better Muslims. So I think this
is the, the thing to,
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:29
			for us to keep in mind. And, and, you know, and live out. Now, the
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:48
			fundamental of Islam, of course, is the worship of Allah subhanaw taala alone without any partners,
without and not worshiping anyone other than Allah subhanaw taala both are included in that, to
worship Allah alone, without partners and not to worship anyone else.
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:57
			This both of these things are critical in the aspect of tawheed because as I mentioned, in the other
class,
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:05
			worshiping somebody other than Allah, somebody something, some theory, some you know,
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:30
			human or non human entity, some imaginary mythological figure, whatever, other than Allah subhanaw
taala, this is not from Islam, and worshipping Allah subhanaw taala. But joining somebody else as a
partner with Allah, whether that person you are joining with a partner with Allah is a human is a,
		
00:07:31 --> 00:08:14
			an angel is a gene is a trees or is a tree is a celestial body, whether it's the sun, the moon, or
the stars, whatever it might be, joining anyone or anything with Allah subhanho wa Taala in his
worship, or in seeking help from him or in asking, making dua asking for what we need anyone other
than Allah joining in worship. This is not from Islam. So anyone who does either of these two
things, or three things, one refuses to work, worship Allah subhanaw taala. That would be like an
atheist refusing to worship or an agnostic for refusing to worship Allah subhanaw taala this person
is not a mistake. The second one is one
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:53
			who worships somebody else or something else other than Allah. So this is not a theist or an
agnostic. This is somebody who worships anyone or anything other than Allah, this is not a Muslim.
And the third one is somebody who joins who worships Allah join somebody else in as a partner to
Amma, for example, somebody who worships Allah subhanaw taala. But he goes to a grave and next door
to the, to the occupant of the grave for something that he needs some thinking and with this belief
that this person who was in the grave can do this for me, like this is part of the
		
00:08:54 --> 00:09:13
			this is what must happen. Obviously, if you just see somebody standing at a grip, you cannot
pronounce anything on that person, we don't know what the intention is, we don't know what they're
asking, and so on and so forth. I'm just saying this, not for you to pronounce anything on anybody,
but for you to understand the basic fundamental principles of
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:37
			so and none of these three kinds of people are or can be Muslims, if they want to be Muslim, then
they must number one, worship Allah alone, they must stop worshipping anyone or anything else. And
they must stop seeking help from anyone or anything else. And they must not join any partners with
Allah subhanaw taala.
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:59
			So, this is the basic principle as far as target is concerned. And along with that, of course, come
all the way by that and what Allah has made a lot of promise on. Now when you look at the people
aspect of Islam, the holy but the fundamental principle on Holy bad is the sanctity and
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:01
			preservation of life.
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:22
			Please understand that the basic fundamental principle in Islam is the sanctity and preservation of
life. And that is the reason why suicide in Islam is haram it is prohibited. And as soon as nslm
said a person who commits suicide will be punished by
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:48
			by in this way that the way in which he or she committed suicide, they will be perpetually in that
state suffering that pain and in the desert, right. So, if somebody burned themselves a fell off a
building or something, whatever they did, they would continue to do that continuously, they will be
soft, they will suffer that till the Day of Judgment and then Allah will do with them whatever he
does with them,
		
00:10:49 --> 00:11:30
			including that they will be consigned to the Hellfire Allah knows best. So, the point is suicide is
haram. That is the reason why also any use of any material any substance that is harmful to life is
not permitted in Islam. So, that is the reason why one of the reasons why for example, any all
intoxicants are prohibited because obviously they are not good for a person's life not good for his
health, all tobacco in any form, whether cigarettes or booties or cigars or you know the pipe or
cars or
		
00:11:33 --> 00:12:04
			shadow whatever, right all consumption of tobacco, hookah and Zahra all consumption of tobacco is
haram. It is it is prohibited. All forms of or taking of any drugs, all things that are eating or
drinking or or consuming in any other way, like smoking, for example. Anything which is
intrinsically harmful to the body is prohibited in Islam. So that's the second thing to understand,
as far as the preservation of life is concerned.
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:21
			Third thing is that you are prohibited from taking unnecessary risks with yourself which can result
in death or injury. So therefore, even things like adventure sports, without proper
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:28
			safeguards, this would be something which is not permissible in Islam, and we will not be
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:48
			we would not be allowed to do that. Take, for example, the Islamic ruling as far as dealing with
pandemics and epidemics is concerned, right? We went over this many times, during these, these
months, when we have been, when all of us have been in the grip of this COVID COVID-19,
		
00:12:49 --> 00:13:31
			the Islamic ruling of Rasulullah sallam, why was that if you are in a place where this pandemic does
not exist, and you had a need to travel to another place, and you discover that that place is in the
grip of a pandemic or an epidemic, then do not go there. So that is the first thing. If you are in a
place where it is not there, where you are free from it, then stay there, don't go to a place where
that pandemic exists, why because you don't want to, you should not put your life in danger. Second
thing is that if you are in a place where the pandemic exists, so now you are in a country where
there is a where there is an epidemic, and
		
00:13:32 --> 00:14:13
			you happen to be there and this epidemic was there, or you traveled to that place and then the
epidemic happened, then the ruling is then don't leave that place, don't leave that place and go
anywhere, because by doing that, you might be transmitting that epidemic to a place where it is it
is not there where it does not exist. So the ruling there is if you are in that place where there is
an epidemic, then stay there. And even while staying there what is the ruling the ruling is stay in
your house, including do not go to the Muslims do not go anywhere except where it is absolutely
critical to go. Otherwise stay in your house. And as soon as you went to the extent of saying that
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:33
			if you confine yourself to your house, which is today what we call quarantine. He said if you
confine yourself to your house and take all precautions, and you do not die with the epidemic. Now
listen to the words. He didn't say if you die if you die, he said if you die in an epidemic epidemic
then inshallah you are say, Allah subhanaw taala give you Jenna. So that's a different issue. But he
said
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:44
			that if you can find us if you take precautions, right if you take the precautions of not being a
vector or not being a someone who
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:46
			who,
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:49
			you know, someone who
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:55
			becomes an inadvertent communicator of that epidemic.
		
00:14:56 --> 00:15:00
			If you don't take that if you do that and you stick
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:15
			gunfight. And as a result of of being confined, you are safe and you come out of that healthy Allah
will still give you the daraga will give you the level of a Shaheed even though you did not die,
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:33
			right. So, think about this, this is the level to which the preservation of life both in terms of
taking precautions for yourself, as well as ensuring that you do not become a inadvertent spreader
of that,
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:55
			of that disease to others, right. So, both of these one is, I do not become a spread of the disease
and the one the second one is I don't get infected myself. This is how important it is. And if you
do that research, as Adam said, you will be given the status of a shade. So today we are living in
that situation. And therefore I want to
		
00:15:56 --> 00:16:37
			reiterate, and emphasize that please take precautions, wear masks, wash your hands, use hand
sanitizers, do not leave your homes don't don't go out unnecessarily here on there, don't take
unnecessary risks makes absolutely no sense. Make sure that you take all precautions, and including
going to the masjid you have been given this roster, you have been given this permission not to go
to the budget. So take advantage or position play at home, especially if you are elderly, especially
if you have you know,
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:45
			not feeling too well or anything like that. Take all precautions, take all precautions with your
children, because one of the biggest problems with
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:49
			children is that
		
00:16:50 --> 00:17:06
			they get they can get the disease and they do not show any symptoms. And when they come home, then
that disease can get communicated to you. Or you meeting the elders in the house. And those elders
Can,
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:29
			can hat can suffer because of that there was a case in America I know I remember reading where this
child went to school. And as a result of that, both the parents, the mother and the father of the
child got COVID and both of them died right in the last one. So it is it is not it is not simple, it
is a very serious matter.
		
00:17:30 --> 00:18:02
			What I'm amazed at is that after all of these months of going through this, we still have people who
feel who think it's a you know conspiracy theory and it's fake and they don't want to take
precaution and so on May Allah say was from stupidity, I think that is the biggest, biggest illness.
So please don't don't fall into that trap. Preservation of life is the number one principle in
Islam, let us follow them. Now in that context, one of the most powerful Ayat of the Quran,
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:07
			every ayat of the Quran is powerful. And we believe in every single Ayat of the Quran.
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:11
			Anybody who denies
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:52
			even one eye of the Quran has left Islam. Anyone who believes that even one ayat of the Quran is
wrong or should be changed has left Islam. So we are not in that. So we believe in the whole Quran,
as it was revealed, that of it which we understand and even that of it, which we do not understand,
for example, the rueful musataha, for example, or other other I had Wi Fi really do not know the
meaning we still believe that these are the words of Allah subhanaw taala, that they cannot be
changed. And we believe in it, even though some of them we may not understand. Because we take the
perspective of the principle that there were ayat which previous people didn't understand because
		
00:18:52 --> 00:19:36
			they didn't have that much. They didn't have other wiring loom, not bodies of knowledge that help to
help to understand they, for example, I mean, this is a little bit of an aside, but I think it's
worth both doing that. Take the today we talk about the ayat of the offer for you know what what we
like to call embryology, it is not embryology but anyway the idea of Quran which talks about the
development of the fetus, and today we produce that and we tell people see how scientific the Quran
is, here is evidence of this. I want to I want to stick the save it and and submit to you that these
are not evidence of the truthfulness of the Quran. We don't need that to be proved we we believe
		
00:19:36 --> 00:20:00
			that these are ayat which tell us the strength and power of the belief of the Sahaba and which
underline for us the principle that we believe in the Quran Al Karim, that which we understand and
that which we do not understand. Because in the time of the Sahaba at the time of the revelation of
this Quran, for that best of generations, there was no way that they could actually
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:42
			Understand what was being said in the Quran because embryology, as we understand it, these it became
clear after the development of the microscope, before that people didn't know nobody knew. Nobody
would explain what exactly it was, was meant when Allah subhanaw taala said that, you know, it goes
from being a clot to being a lump of flesh, and so on and so forth. All of this became clear, and
was understood only after the development of the microscope. Until then, people had no idea, yet
they believed and they believed with certainty. And that is why I'm saying to you that they will
always probably be I add in the Quran, which people at any age, any time will not be able to
		
00:20:42 --> 00:21:26
			understand, because after all, you are talking about the L knowledge of Allah subhanho data, which
we are trying to interpret with our knowledge, which is noxious, which is less which is weak, which
is incomplete. So there will always be parts of the knowledge of Allah subhanaw taala, which will
not be interpretable, which will not be understandable to us, given that our knowledge is incomplete
and our knowledge is novice and weak. And therefore, we take the position that we believe whatever
Allah subhanaw taala has told us, and hamdulillahi Rabbil aalameen and we don't question that,
because we know that this is the column of Allah Subhana Allah the Quran came to us, as the column
		
00:21:26 --> 00:21:28
			of Allah subhanaw taala the Quran came to us,
		
00:21:29 --> 00:21:54
			as soon as he explained it, and it came to us in the way he explained it, and hamdulillah inshallah,
this is more than sufficient for us. Now, in this context. Take this beautiful idea of sort of the
Maya, which I'm sure everyone today is familiar with. This is one of the highlights which is
quartered everywhere, with regard to the preservation of life when
		
00:21:55 --> 00:22:25
			we live in a shed on the road in this villa Rahmani Raheem in agilely valleca Katana, Allah bernisa
Isla Anna Houma, kata enough, some delayed enough sin, our facade didn't fill out the fucka Anima
khattala NASA Jamia woman Ah ha ha fucka Anima. Here NASA Jamia waka Jaya at home Rosa Luna bill by
inoty Suma in kathira min home, Bada de lica fille de la masuri foun,
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:27
			Allah subhanho wa Taala
		
00:22:29 --> 00:23:02
			said, which means because of that we ordained for the children of Israel that if anyone killed a
person not in retaliation of murder, or to spread mischief in the land, meaning in retaliation for
spreading mischief in the land, it would be as if we killed all mankind. And if anyone saved the
life, it would be as if we save the life of all mankind. And indeed, they came to them are
messengers with clear proofs, evidence and science Even then, after that many of them continued to
exceed the limits
		
00:23:03 --> 00:23:08
			by doing oppression, and so on. And so, now, think about this.
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:11
			A lot rather than saying that
		
00:23:13 --> 00:23:18
			killing somebody is permissible only in one instance.
		
00:23:19 --> 00:24:04
			I'm talking about by an individual, right? Do you and I, as a person have the right to kill a
person? Short answer, no. Do you and I do you and I have a right to defend ourselves against
aggression. If somebody you know, if a bandit stops you on the road, if you are highway robber, you
get mugged. If there is a break and entry into your house, if somebody is trying to * you or
whatever right, somebody wants to do violence to do you have the right to defend yourself? answer is
yes. In that process, if the other person is killed, then are you culpable of murder? No, you're not
culpable of murder. So we are not even saying here that you have a right to kill somebody. No, you
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:16
			don't have a right to kill anybody. But if if you are attacked, you have a right to defend yourself.
And in that process, if the attacker is killed, then so be it, the attacker decided to do something.
		
00:24:17 --> 00:24:19
			This year I decided to
		
00:24:20 --> 00:24:59
			to violate your rights, the attacker decided to take your life or try to take your life in the
process, he or she lost their life themselves. That is a different matter. And therefore there is no
blame on you. Now killing somebody for facade in the land refers to capital punishment that may be
handed down by a judge in a court of law, which also of course refers to the capital punishment that
would be handed down to a murderer. So somebody did actually commit murder and they were arrested
and after due process in law, on the basis of evidence if they are sentenced to death.
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:10
			Then the judge is not a murderer, the judge has the right to apply capital punishment because this
is permissible in Islam. But the beauty of Islam is that even then
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:22
			Allah subhanaw taala says that it is better if the person takes Blood Money takes compensation and
allows the person to go free. Right? So depends on it
		
00:25:26 --> 00:25:31
			depends on the circumstances, if there is a case where a person
		
00:25:33 --> 00:25:33
			is
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:40
			sentenced to murder, sometimes what happens is, you know, somebody gets killed in
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:52
			somebody in a fit of anger or something, somebody may have killed someone and so it's not
premeditated murder for something. But such such circumstances anyway, the long and short of it is
that if the
		
00:25:53 --> 00:25:55
			if the dependence of the victim
		
00:25:56 --> 00:26:07
			decide to take compensation, instead of the the life of the other person and the person blades, but
blood money, then islamically this is preferable.
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:19
			You know, when one of these I think it is a whatever the law said that there was never a case where
a person who committed murder was brought from his asylum.
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:41
			And he did not ask the concerned, he didn't ask the victims to forgive that individually, every
single case he said, forgive them, take blood money and leave them just leave them just like that.
So even Lee even just forgiving without taking blood money, just for the pleasure of Allah subhanaw
taala. In Islam, this is not only permissible It is something which is highly applauded.
		
00:26:42 --> 00:26:50
			Now, in a case where a judge passes a sentence, yes, the judge has a right to pass. And so this is
where the miscibility can now
		
00:26:51 --> 00:26:54
			see the way in which the prohibition and
		
00:26:55 --> 00:27:12
			of taking a life is mentioned and saving somebody mentioned, it's not just a matter of saving one
person. I love that and saying here that somebody who saves the life of one person, it is as if he
saved all of mankind.
		
00:27:13 --> 00:27:35
			And somebody who takes the life of one person who murders one person, it is as if that person has
murdered all of humanity, not one individual, or all mankind. This is the level to which Islam goes
with regard to the preservation of life. My brothers sisters, today we are, we are faced in with a
world.
		
00:27:36 --> 00:27:42
			And this is the thing that, you know, we need to also reflect on and also presented to other people.
		
00:27:43 --> 00:27:57
			Because a lot of times people give you the examples of, of people who are committing crimes in the
name of Islam, right. So you have whoever was there, you know, ISIS or whoever,
		
00:27:58 --> 00:28:03
			you know, who committed crimes who committed the most heinous crimes
		
00:28:04 --> 00:28:13
			are murder and all kinds of, you know, I don't even want to make a list of the of the crimes that
they committed slavery and * and, and all sorts of stuff.
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:58
			And then they call themselves Muslim, right? They call them they call themselves Islamic State, and
so on and so forth. Now, the point to understand is that it is not for somebody to call themselves
an Islamic State, we have a system. Islam is not the name of superstition. Islam is not mythology,
Islam is not something that you choose to believe any way you like. There is there is a structure
called Islam. There is a Kitab there is a book of Islam called the Quran. There is a way of life
there's a complete operations manual of the Quran, which is the Syrah which is the biography and
which is the Sunnah, which is the way the path, the teachings of Rasulullah sallallahu sallam,
		
00:28:58 --> 00:29:09
			whoever can call anyone can call himself whatever he wants or she wants. But that thing was the
call. If somebody calls something Islamic,
		
00:29:10 --> 00:29:59
			then what you need to do is to take what they are doing, or what they are stating or what they are
advocating, and compare it to the Kitab of Allah, compare it to the book of Allah and compare it to
the Sunnah and to the life of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam who is our only example. Everyone else
in the world that we follow. All the Sahaba we follow all the Imams of Islam, we follow all the
jurists, we follow all the all the all ama all the scholars we follow, we don't follow them because
of them. We follow them because they follow Mohamed Salah holliness. And so this is something which
is very, very important if there is anybody and there are plenty. There are people who call them
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:09
			selves, scholars of Islam and then they do something which is the diametric opposite of what
Rasulullah saw Selim did. And obviously they are rejected, we reject them because
		
00:30:10 --> 00:30:31
			we don't follow them. We follow Muhammad sallallahu alayhi salatu salam, there is a, therefore this
is something to understand. And this is something to also when you answer somebody, if somebody, you
know, this is thrown in your face and my face the whole time, see what ISIS is doing? Why should I
see what ISIS is doing? Who is ISIS? What is ISIS to me?
		
00:30:32 --> 00:31:20
			But what is ISIS to me? If I go to a Christian and see what Hitler did? Is that is that a is that a
framework is, is Hitler's genocide that Hitler committed? Right, the Holocaust, where he killed 6
million Jewish people, and gypsies and so on other people, right, he was the kingpin behind that
he's the one who designed the whose idea it was, and then all of those people who were with him in
that, who actually made it happen, the tragedy of this world is that the grid genocides of this
world, the person instigating that genocide probably didn't hurt a fly, but because of his ideas,
and because of his, his force, and his leadership, he had minions, who were his hands and feet, who
		
00:31:20 --> 00:31:59
			carried out these actual acts, who actually killed people murdered them, he did all kinds of
atrocities, they were done also by human beings. This is where we have to ask this question also,
and say, Who am I following? Right? Every single person, every German, who killed a Jewish person,
man, woman, or child in any of those concentration camps, actually took a decision to do that. And
they could have taken and the opposite decision and said, I don't care what Hitler says, I don't get
my what my commanding officer says, I will not kill this person because this person is innocent,
they have done nothing. They could have actually taken that decision. They did not. And I'm saying
		
00:31:59 --> 00:32:09
			this because To this day, we have this situation where people blindly follow leaders, my brother and
sisters, please Allah gave us a bottle of give us a break, think.
		
00:32:10 --> 00:32:25
			Don't blindly follow anybody use your intelligence, and say what is this person saying, if this
person is saying something, which is negative, which is destructive, which is toxic, which is people
who are spewing hatred,
		
00:32:26 --> 00:33:04
			people are propagating hatred, and I don't care who is all hatred is fire. The result is always ash.
It doesn't matter. Whoever is telling you to hate somebody else, that person is wrong. The person
telling you to hate Muslims is wrong. The person telling you to hate Jews is wrong. The person
telling you to hate Hindus is wrong. The person who's telling you to hate the white people is wrong.
person telling you to hate black people is wrong. person telling you to hate anybody is wrong,
reject them, throw them out, discard them, trashed them, flush them down the toilet, that is where
they belong.
		
00:33:05 --> 00:33:15
			Don't follow them. Because if you follow them, then you have the same. I don't want to use you know
that language in this football. But what is in their brain is also in your brain.
		
00:33:18 --> 00:33:22
			Islam did not teach us to follow anybody blindly.
		
00:33:24 --> 00:33:36
			Allah gave us eyes and ears Allah gave us intelligence. Allah told us to think law told us to
deflect let us do that. We will follow we follow Mohammed Salah Salem, because he never killed
anybody in his life.
		
00:33:38 --> 00:33:46
			When made people people talk about ISIS, lava lava terrible, did you? Did you ever get somebody and
slit his throat? Did he do that?
		
00:33:48 --> 00:33:49
			Did you tell anybody to do that?
		
00:33:50 --> 00:33:55
			Those who Who? Who? You know, ask this calumny to him they are liars.
		
00:33:59 --> 00:34:24
			never harmed a fly he never did. He never killed anybody. He never, he never swore at anybody. He
never beat anybody. He never hit anybody. He never insulted anybody. That is our model. Our model is
that of a person whose life was 100% beauty, beautiful and dignified. And it was a life which was
you know, which was
		
00:34:26 --> 00:34:29
			which was worthy of emulation.
		
00:34:30 --> 00:34:34
			That is our status. That is Muhammad Mustafa sallallahu alayhi wa he was
		
00:34:35 --> 00:34:58
			somebody who was who was who was the best to his family, somebody who was the best to his companion,
somebody who was the best to anyone who came into contact with him, including his worst enemies. How
did the soul as a wrestler treat treat Abu sufian Rolando literally became a villain. How did he
treat his wife hinda hinder the olana
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:07
			who caused him so much incredible pain because she mutilated the body of Hamza bin Abdullah?
Metallica lon.
		
00:35:10 --> 00:35:11
			How did you treat
		
00:35:12 --> 00:35:21
			vashi Alon who killed Hamza bin Abdullah Abdullah Abdullah. How did he kill? How did he treat How
did the solar system treat Khalid bin Khalid
		
00:35:22 --> 00:35:23
			in the last
		
00:35:25 --> 00:35:28
			Halloween Bollywood responsible for the deaths of 77
		
00:35:29 --> 00:35:30
			in the Battle of 100
		
00:35:35 --> 00:36:02
			people what his worst enemies people who had sworn what put a price on it, people who had sworn to
destroy Maha masala they did the left no stone unturned in their single minded pursuit of the
destruction of Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam it is by the grace and mercy of Allah swatara that he
protected the his his nebulae, Sarah otherwise not because Abu sufian didn't Abu sufian Did not
		
00:36:03 --> 00:36:09
			you know he was not unsuccessful because of lack of effort on his part. He did everything he could
do.
		
00:36:13 --> 00:36:28
			Yet Rasul Allah, Allah, Allah subhanaw taala preservative on when I was here was in the power of
homosassa when Abu sufian was in when when de sola Salah salams figuratively speaking, when I was
away as Nick was in the handover of his house, what do you do?
		
00:36:30 --> 00:36:41
			He treated him with respect. He did it with dignity, he freed him without asking. He freed his whole
family without asking. He did not even punish
		
00:36:43 --> 00:36:46
			him or his wife for what they did personally.
		
00:36:49 --> 00:36:54
			He had the power to do that he had the right to do that he had the authority to do that
		
00:36:55 --> 00:36:57
			nobody would have asked any questions
		
00:36:58 --> 00:36:59
			this is our model
		
00:37:00 --> 00:37:07
			our model is not those who commit murder who commit all kinds of toxic actions in the name of Islam
they are not Ahmadi
		
00:37:09 --> 00:37:10
			reject them trash them
		
00:37:12 --> 00:37:13
			that's what they deserve.
		
00:37:15 --> 00:37:30
			Anybody who's propagating hate and I don't care what's happening in the world please don't buy this
argument to say see what they are doing. They whoever they are, are not our teachers. Our teacher is
Mohammed Salah Holly you Ali was Abu Salah.
		
00:37:32 --> 00:37:39
			We follow Rasul Allah is Allah is Allah, we do not follow x y&z so it doesn't matter what anybody
else is doing.
		
00:37:40 --> 00:37:41
			By all means,
		
00:37:43 --> 00:37:49
			dig DIC, whatever legal action that is in your power to protect yourself.
		
00:37:51 --> 00:37:54
			But follow Muhammad Rasulullah sallallahu, etc.
		
00:37:55 --> 00:37:56
			And in that following,
		
00:37:57 --> 00:38:01
			as I explained, the most important
		
00:38:04 --> 00:38:10
			thing that we have to understand is the importance and the power of the
		
00:38:14 --> 00:38:14
			of the
		
00:38:17 --> 00:38:52
			importance, not our importance of preservation of life. This is the number one principle in Islam.
That's the reason why also if you think about that, you know even things which are normally
prohibited for example, if you alcohol is prohibited, but if you are freezing to death, and if there
is no other way and if you have to drink some, you know maybe a shot of rum or something to heat up
the body, this is permissible for you, not for the rest of your life. But at that instance, if you
are dying of hunger, literally three, four days without food, you are dying of hunger, the only
thing that's available to you is pork, you are permitted to eat that
		
00:38:53 --> 00:39:40
			and so forth. So, things which are normally privated they become permissible for one reason only,
and that is preservation of life, because preservation of life comes above everything else. And this
is the message I want to give to you and remind myself in you. Today in terms of preservation of
life, what we can do and should do is to take all precautions, as far as COVID-19 this COVID thing
is concerned, ensure that you take precautions to protect yourself and to protect others. By our
actions. We should not put ourselves in danger. And we should not do anything which has the
potential of putting other people in danger. So stay at home. Don't go wandering all over the place.
		
00:39:41 --> 00:39:59
			Protect yourself if you go out wear a mask, wash your hands frequently use hand sanitizers, this is
the extent that we know till now and as and when you know medical science comes up with Allah
subhanaw taala teaches us the cure and as and when we get the cure.
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:08
			inshallah we will do what is whatever is necessary? We ask our last one and please don't, don't,
don't buy all these, you know,
		
00:40:09 --> 00:40:11
			snake oil stuff
		
00:40:12 --> 00:40:39
			that is being sold, you know somebody's selling all kinds of stuff saying this cures COVID that goes
COVID Please don't Don't, don't buy all these theories don't fall into all kinds of conspiracy
theories. Just take precautions for yourself and your families. And may Allah Subhana Allah protect
you may Allah subhanaw taala keep you in his protection always and follow Muhammad sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam and follow the column of Allah subhanho
		
00:40:40 --> 00:40:42
			wa salatu salam ala alihi wa sahbihi
		
00:40:44 --> 00:40:46
			wa salaam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.
