Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil alameen
wa Salatu was Salam ala VL mursaleen Muhammad Rasul Allah is Allah Allah Haile he while he was. He was alumnus Lehman Kaziranga sera from Abbado, my dear brothers and sisters
Alhamdulillah Allah subhanho wa Taala blessed us with a beautiful religion.
And
perhaps the most
significant thing about Islam is the fact that it is so completely and totally focused on action.
There's no intellectualizing in Islam.
There's no philosophizing in Islam,
everything Islam is oriented towards applying it in our lives. With the added benefit that if we do that correctly, and with the correct intention, which is to please Allah subhanho wa Taala that this becomes a means also of earning goodness for ourselves in the era and earning reward from Allah subhanho.
this dunya is a place of action, which gives us benefit here, as well as in the ACA, so it's a it's a double
double benefit helps me here and helps me in the ACA as well. And that's where as soon as Adam said adonia, Missouri,
he said the dunya is the field it is the tillage, it is the agriculture it is the garden, you know,
Missouri, which basically means fields and farm for the aka meaning that this is the place where we need to plan to get a harvest for ourselves in the akhirah and of course, what goes without saying is that the harvest is for us in this dounia Wanaka This is the our lesson inshallah on in leaving Islam, to give you one of the most
the one of the was one of the simplest and most powerful examples, as soon as Sam said, the smile is sadaqa
right, if a person's by ditches by that your brother, if you smile, another person, the smile is Sonata.
Now, obviously, you know and I know that if you have a smiley face, meaning not the smiley meaning, you know you are a cheerful countenance, if you have a a cheerful face, and if you always smile at people,
then the immediate benefit is that you make a lot of friends, people will like you people will be attracted towards you, you smile, somebody smiles back at you. So that makes you also feel good. Right filing by itself makes you feel good, somebody smiles back at you, it makes you feel good.
So, there is a measurable perceivable benefit in this life itself.
And the sooner This is solokha What is the meaning of Salah it means that this will be recorded on your, in your book of records with Allah subhanaw taala. And a reward will be given for it. How much reward as much as Allah subhanaw taala wants
as much as Allah once
we have the address, where
a man was going to another town or village or whatever it was to meet his friend.
Clearly the guy was going there to meet just right on the way he met another man.
And the man asked him, where are you going? He said, I'm going to this place. He said for what he said to meet my friend. He said what is the reason to meet the friend? He said no reason just like that. I mean, he's my friend. I haven't seen him for a long time. Just for the strengthening of our friendship. I miss my friends, I'm going to be my friend. So this person is this human being the person he met. He says are you sure that you are not going there to read to collect some debt that you have you maybe will loan some money to this person is going to pay you back or you're going to ask him for the money to pay back Are you are going there as a business person, no nothing, nothing.
None of that I just this is my friend. I love him. And I haven't seen him for a long time and so on so forth. So therefore I'm going to meet this friend.
This human being apparently what look like a moon being then comes into is not his natural form and he is an angel he is a Moloch that has come from Allah subhanaw taala. He said I am an angel and I have been sent
To inform you that this action of yours that you went from your home, to your friend's home, to meet your friend because you missed your friend, because you want to strengthen the bond of friendship,
you have no other reason to meet your friend. He said Allah Subhana Allah likes you so much that Allah subhanho wa Taala has forgiven you and your friends,
all your sins,
I think about that, here is an action, the person is taking it, why was he doing it, doing it because he missed his rent. So when he goes to his friend, the friend will be inshallah happy to meet him and you know, they will have a good time they, they'll, you know, be happy to be with each other. So in this life itself, they've got benefit. But for both of them, there is a benefit in the
on the Day of Judgment. And also, as I said, observe when you shake your hand of your friend, Musa moussaka, when you shake the hand of your friend, when you clasp is and Allah Subhana, Allah forgives the sins of both.
Allah forgives the sins of both. Right? He will say a Salam Alaikum to somebody, what does he say? He says, wailuku Salah, you gave him a DA, you said my PSB on you. And he says I am on you. Also the May there be peace. Both of these statements are also rewardable bioceramic.
I'm giving you a very, very simple examples. So we understand how practical and how action oriented is this religion of ours,
as well as
when you were give more to the customer give more.
In our modern parlance, in customer service, we call it customer delight,
not just customer satisfaction. What is customer satisfaction to give the customer what the customer expects is customer satisfaction. This is what I expected I got it.
There, there's been a nice little advertisement ad film of this couple with a little little boy, now by maybe three, three years old, or something like maybe two to three years old. So these three they have gone they're checking into a hotel, the father is checking in the mother standing there at the counter, this little kid is running around and his shoelaces are undone.
Right. So obviously, the the child might step one thing and my fault. So the general manager of the hotel, who is also in the lobby, he comes to the child, he sits down
on the ground, he squats and he is tying and doing up the laces of this little child.
Now what is he doing? He is giving more. Why? Because to tie the laces of the child is not the job of General Manager, the general manager can draw the attention of the mother or the father and say, Look, your child's shoelaces are undone. You know this is a potential danger. Or he can even call somebody one of the hotel employees and tell him please, you know do that he's doing it himself. Customer delight from customer satisfaction to customer delight, customer satisfaction, these people are checking into the hotel, the fact that they must have a good checking experience, meaning that they have booked in advance so the person at the checkout counter calls up the
the reservation, and within a matter of you know, a few seconds or a couple of minutes at the most they are handed their room key and somebody is taking their luggage to the room. This is an A very nice, very satisfying, you're very happy. You're not expecting the general manager of the hotel to be tying the shoelaces of your little child that is customer delight more than what you expect.
So now we have the headaches of asanas and salami. What do you say? He's saying do not just give customer satisfaction give customer delight. These are not the words. These are my word but I'm translating there are these into modern parlance that Mr. rossano said when you way give more.
He didn't say give as much as is just that goes without saying. Obviously don't steal don't give less.
But give more give as what is required and give more. In Allah Yama, ruble, addley Walesa, Verily Allah subhanho wa Taala has ordered you to be just and then give more. There some excellence.
So if I now cultivate if I have an organization and in my organization, I practice
Is this and my whole organization practices this which is we practice the Hadees of the Prophet sallallahu Salah, which is when you were give more, you might say well you know what if I'm not a Muslim so on
this is not religion we are talking here even though the one who said it is the Prophet of Allah sallallahu sallam, we are talking behavior, we are talking How do you treat your customer? Whether the customer is a Muslim or not, whether you are a Muslim or not makes no difference that treatment of a customer is the treatment of a customer it gets you rewards, what does that give more focus on customer delight, customer satisfaction make that a given quality make it a given, right, the customer should be dealt with justly
is a given then give more, give a gift, give a bonus? give a discount, give an upgrade?
Give a smile.
How difficult is that?
And you have customer delight. Now, a Muslim does that with the intention of pleasing Allah with the intention that he or she is following the tsunami. So Salaam Sudan bringing the Suna alive.
Two benefits, one, the worldly benefit, you will be loved. Your business will be loved, you will get repeat business, people will come to your hotel and whatever it is your airline or whatnot, they stand in a long line all of this will happen.
Plus, you will get reward with a loss.
We get rewarded the loss manager
you know Emirates is my favorite airline. Now anyway.
We were in in Leeds. Several years ago, my wife and I were visiting my parents in law. May Allah subhanaw taala. Give them both. Gentlemen, for those who don't have a Verizon, both of them passed away. My mother in law passed away just a couple of weeks ago. So we were in Leeds. And we were
returning to India.
And the flight was from Manchester it was Manchester Dubai, Dubai, Hyderabad Emirates.
The Emirates provides an airport drop service. So we were waiting for the airport drop vehicle to come. And he got delayed and he got very badly delayed because that day happened to be the day of Leeds marathon. So all the normal roads to our house were
were shut down because the marathon was running. And this guy was new. He was not not local persons. We didn't know all the backroads.
So eventually, he is a smart guy. So eventually when he couldn't figure out which way to go, and so on, so on, maybe I don't I think maybe it's Google Map didn't work or something.
He
flagged down a cab a local cab, and he told him Please take me to this place. And the cab driver brought it so
now we got into the into the vehicle and we left for Manchester. Now we got to the airport in time.
But we were delayed but we did we'll start flight was still hadn't left. And then now going to the security the Manchester Airport security is on the slowest in the world. So it was very, very slow.
And as you know, these are pre COVID days. So pretty big crowd.
To make a long story short, by the time we finished all that in regard to the concourse, we got to the door of the aircraft literally in front of our eyes, the doors shut and the aircraft left
with without us
our luggage had already been loaded. They offloaded it. And we got it now what do we do? So I went back to we went back to the Emirates, check in counter. And there was a young man there. I told him, Look, this is what has happened.
We were on we were ready to come but it's the airport pick up Emirates airport pickup, which delayed us and this is what's happened now we missed the flight. So what do we do?
This is why this is what I'm talking about when you were give more
Now technically speaking, we missed the flight. So rule is what buy a new ticket right by notate
this guy's just to us. He checked and he you know, he knew I was not lying. So he knew it was it was a truth. She says to me.
He says either I can
fax Dubai
and ask them for clearance to give you
ticket on the afternoon flight which was about maybe about four or four or five hours later.
Or I can just give you a ticket on the afternoon flight and you pay a flight cancellation charge of I think if I'm not mistaken It was 60 pounds or something like that per ticket so it was about 120 pounds. So he says you pay 120 pounds, I will give you
a reservation on the next flight.
That way you can go into the lounge and you can relax there and you can you know, get food to eat and so on and so forth. You don't have to hang around here until I get a response from Dubai. You will relax in the lounge and you go and once you reach Hyderabad he said apply to customer service for a refund of this amount. And I will give you a form to say that this happened because of our delay in bringing you to the airport. So I said okay make sense and this guy's bill is so nice of him to offer this to me so I said I'm gonna pay them 160 pounds or whatever that amount was. And we got this paper and we got boarding passes for the next flight we went to the lounge and hamdulillah
we did our we it was time for Salah we prayed and we you know Emirates Lounge is beautiful fantastic foods were nice food relax and all that
restaurant return
to the next slide got home.
After we got home, I just sent an email saying this is what happened. This is the letter and we applied for a refund. What happens? We get a reply from Emirates saying of course apologizing sorry for this thing which happened. Here is the refund. And we are giving both of you 20,000 miles Credit
on Your frequent flyer 20,000 miles each
credit on a frequent flyer we did not expect together. I wouldn't even ask for it
come from evidence.
What are they practicing? I hope they're doing it consciously. But whether or not what are they practicing, when you get more customer delight, do something for the customer with the customer loves. So now that's why it's my favorite absolute favorite airline.
Wherever if Emirates fly Emirates flies somewhere I do not fly on anything other than Emirates. The only way I will go to someplace on an airline other than Emirates is if Emirates doesn't fly to that place.
Because of this kind of behavior. The point I'm making is we have a beautiful religion
which
if we practice it
will give us a measure or perceivable benefit in this life as well as reward with Allah Subhana Allah Allahu inshallah.
Right, so that is the whole point of
living Islam. Now, my brothers sisters,
we see how Allah subhanaw taala also mentioned this, as far as the living of Islam is concerned. So the hoodrat, for example, is a surah which is replete with direct instructions of what to do, how to do how to behave. Right.
I have, there's a book of mine called UCLA of the Amati
which is
it's not the fear, but it's an explanation and lessons from different Ayat of Surah Surah all normals are not also have it almost also. So do read it when you have the time.
Here the idea that I want to
to present before you is from number 10 to number 13 where I was aware that I said I will be lying on a sheet on a regime Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim enable me know what on facilely hobeika Hawaii what the whole law Allah Allah bondora Moon Yeah, you Allah Dena Manu Elias her comin comin rasa Jaco Nakai ramen home. Wala Nisa own minutes in arsa kunafa minimoon while at albizu fusa gwala

word Allah boom, sure Obama, Isla de feu in khorana kuhlmann de la kakum. In a law highly mon hobby, a large amount of data said which means the believers are but brothers and remember all of this
is gender neutral. Brothers does not mean brothers only it means brothers and sisters. And as you will see even here in some places ultramarathoner emphasize has mentioned the men and the women separately. But as you will see in Islam, the ruling is the same irrespective of gender, whether you are a man or woman, what you should do is the same, the reward is the same, the punishment is the same. The the responsibility is the same, the accountability to Allah subhanho data is for both.
So Allah says the believers are bad brothers. So make settlement between your brothers. If there is a dispute, then settle that dispute. Don't put some more fuel in the fire. Don't instigate that dispute, don't start disputes, don't create problems. And if you see that as a problem, cover it up. If you see it as a problem, solve it, resolve it, help them to resolve it. The believers are but brothers, so make settlement well as the whole beinahe.
Make settlement between your brothers. And fear the anger of Allah Allah, Allah,
Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah come doragon
so that you may receive mercy, or you have all you who have believed, do not let people ridicule other people. Perhaps they meaning the one you're making fun of maybe better than you maybe better than them to this group of people. Don't let some people make fun of other people, the people that are mocking maybe better than the people who are mocking them.
And do not let women ridicule other women perhaps they may be better than them to hear Allah subhanho wa Taala is emphasizing this separately for the men and women but the rule is the same which is do not mock and do not ridicule other people, man or woman, because it is possible that they might be better than you in the sight of Allah subhanaw taala. And then Allah said, Do not insert one another
and do not call each other by offensive nicknames. Think about that how much these things have become part of our culture. That we think it is fun. It's not fun in Islam it is haram. So last rather saying here.
Do not insult one another. Don't use profanity, don't curse. Don't use bad language.
Do not insult one another. And Allah says and do not give each other offensive nicknames.
wretched is the name of disobedience after one's faith is How bad is it? how nasty is it that you disobey Allah after you have come to the fifth and whoever does not repent? Then it is de who are dissolve the moon they are the wrongdoers. So here you're getting some admonition here's a warning. Repent. If you've been doing this, be contrite go apologize. Make amends. If you don't do that, then you are the oppressors. And you are the xylem on the wrong doors. And then Allah says oil believe avoid suspicion.
Wide suspicion right. This is such a beautiful
advice. Unless a lot I just such a jasoosi motto. avoid suspicion. Stop being stop spying on each other.
Allah says, indeed, some suspicion is sin, because you're making these negative assumptions or when we say suspicion, the word itself has a negative connotation. We don't talk about I suspect this person might be very charitable. I said, No, you're suspecting the person. And always a suspicion is is, is negative. To Lessing that suspicion is a sin. Do not spy on one another. Do not bag bite each other. Well, would you one of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother, you would detest it. And so do not backbite one another because backbiting is like eating the flesh of your dead brother or sister and fear the anger of Allah Allah
and be conscious of the pleasure of Allah. Indeed, Allah is Accepting of repentance and merciful to Allah subhanaw taala after wanting is again giving a Bashara saying that Allah is merciful and repent and accept repentance, but repent, if you're doing something wrong, make sure that you
repent. And then Allah says,
Would you like to eat the flesh, I only imagine this this this example of gela is giving analysis for carrito you will find you will be tested you you in this example you find disgusting, that is how bad it is this behavior of backbiting this behavior of spying on each other. And then Allah says all mankind, indeed we have created you from a male and a female, and made you into different people and tribes, and ethnicities, that you may know one another that you may recognize one another, that you may love one another, you may respect one another, you may appreciate one another. Right? So there's no one another is a liter of food to have the dollar off of each other. But this has
multiple meanings. And it's a very wide term which takes into account all these things, all of which are positive, indeed, the most noble of you.
in the sight of Allah, Allah is the one who's most righteous. Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the one who is most righteous in Accra, Morocco in the light of koco.
Indeed, Allah is full, fully knows fully and is fully acquainted in La, la mon hobbie. Allah has the knowledge and Allah has the habit he has, he knows, I think about this with if
Allah is talking about some specific behaviors, first and foremost, what they're saying is that if you see a dispute between two people or to groups of people, then what is your job? Your job is not to watch the fun. You're not your job is not to be an idle spectator. You are not your job is not just to walk away.
Your job definitely is not to throw fuel on the fire. The people who, who love doing these kinds of things. People really mean I tell you, this is so nasty so bad. People who love sharp person lower right? They're people who instigate problem where there's no problem they instigate problem between husband and wife between friends between inside a community inside a Masjid. They instigate
evil they talk about bad to about each other. Now here realizing First of all, that it's so reprehensible but not even that you didn't instigate anything. We just saw this dispute happening between two people, what must you do? Allah says, resolve it.
Go and help them resolve it. Go sit with both of them, talk some sense into them. But do your best to make sure that hearts come together. And then Allah said, and fear Allah do this in order to please Allah subhanho wa Taala and if you don't do this, then beware you might incur the anger of Allah subhanaw taala and if you do this, then inshallah you will receive the mercy of Allah, Allah will forgive you. Irrespective of whether you are successful or not in resolving the dispute. The fact that you made the effort will be something that is beneficial for you, you will receive the mercy of Allah subhanaw taala and then Allah Miranda says Don't mock each other. Remember we are not
talking about having fun, laughing together having fun together enjoying the the bounties of Allah hamdulillah This is very good. We are talking about mocking and ridiculing
each other all ethnic jokes, or gender based jokes, right all race based jokes.
All of these are not funny. They're not funny at all. They are nasty. In Islam. They are prohibited
making fun of somebody
because of
Any reason laughing at somebody else is prohibited in Islam. And Allah says, Remember, you are laughing at that person, but maybe in the sight of Allah, that person is far superior to you.
This happened with all the ambia Allah salam,
the people who oppose them, the laughter that they mocked them, it happened with rosov himself. They will call him Muslim. They called him they said he is you know, they said you, he said that he's crazy. He said he is possessed.
They said you are a poet, which means that whatever you're saying is just portly it has no meaning. It's just some you know, words in that 11 la raggio. Now we live in Delhi.
But who was superior, who is superior? The Messenger of Allah tala Salah, or those who mocked him
realizing that this is
possible with you, and whoever you are marking, obviously they are not the messengers of Allah but in the eyes of Allah subhanaw taala maybe they are great Olia of Allah, Allah knows best whoever. But Allah says that inside of Allah, they might be better than you and this thing of mocking each other, Allah rather noses such May Allah forgive us. This is such an intrinsic part of our social
interaction of our culture, that Allah is about that I chose to mention men and women separately. And remember, yeah, like not saying only women do this, no.
Men and women, as well as your people don't do it. And the women again, that the women not do it, because maybe this group of women or this woman who is mocking the other one, maybe there's either one or the other one is better than this one. This man or this group of men mocking somebody else, maybe they are better than them.
And believe me, if you're hugging somebody, then do that definitely better than you, because you are directly disobeying Allah subhanho wa Taala. So how good can you be anyway? Right? So very, very clear. instructions of behavior. And then Allah says, Do not insult one another Do not call each other offensive nicknames.
All of this is reprehensible behavior.
Analysis, how wretched it is that you have. You have come to the faith. You recite Quran and the same tongue you use for cursing the same tongue you use for profanity, the same time you use for using you use for bad language and for marking or somebody how nasty and dirty is that? And then Allah says, Whoever does not repent that they are the Solomon remember that if you are a surname, then Allah will punish you. Illa Mashallah, Canada, Allah says, avoid suspicion and avoid spying and do not backbite each other Think about this. How many people are there those
who check their husbands and wives for messages? Right? If somebody somebody even asked me, is it permissible to do that? I said no, forever permissible. As far as I'm concerned. If you are checking your wife's phone messages, your marriage is in serious trouble already.
permissible or not permissible, your marriage is in trouble in serious trouble. If your wife is checking your messages, then your marriage is in serious trouble. Because it just shows a complete breakdown of trust.
And if there is such a breakdown of trust, what kind of marriage is there? It's a joke.
respecting the privacy of your spouse
is supremely important. It's a matter of respect for each other.
So Alice, is saying here don't don't suspect and suspicion is a very nasty thing. Because the problem is suspicion is that the person you're suspecting has no defense.
How can you prove you did not do something? By definition, evidence can only be of action if I do something, there will be evidence. But if I did nothing, there can be no evidence. How can I produce evidence of not doing something by by large mean logically speaking, that's impossible.
And the problem is suspicious people is that no order evidence will satisfy them. This is Chuck xlv Maria.
Seriously, go make Toba make us the fun.
Apologize to your husband or wife or whoever it is your friend who you have been suspecting and I'm extremely sorry, I apologize. You
don't suspect there's no end to this. Then it just goes on and on and on until it completely destroys that relationship. The last rather than saying do not suspect alleging do not spy on
Don't stand behind walls and listen to conversations and, you know, try to record this record that and stuff like that. All of these are signs of a deep sickness, of that relationships of that relationship.
It means that relationship is, is destroyed from inside, there's nothing that
please remember that. Do not do that. And Allah said, If you and backbiting is the result of this
by talking each other, if there is something you do not like about somebody, go directly to that person sit with them speak with respect to speak with love, tell them what it is you don't like, why don't you like it? What is wrong with that and convince them to change themselves and if they don't change themselves, no problem it is you did your duty, and then stand in the night and cry tears before Allah subhanaw taala I did my best on the hearts are in you and you can change that. Please change the heart of this person, make this person change their behavior. I tell people if you do not have the issue, if you say well you know there's too much power I can't do it, then forget it. It
means you're really not interested in the in the correcting that person. You are interested in your own ego, save yourself from the anger of Allah subhanho wa Taala.
Don't back talk other people do not talk. They asked me sir, they said yes. Well, what if what we are saying is true. As soon as that is Reba. If it is true, then that is backbiting if it is not true that it is slander, it is both and
which is even worse. Somebody came and told me that this these two ladies were complaining of severe stomach ache, severe upset stomach, severe stomach cramps in the stomach, let me say this alum called them and said let them he asked them to vomit and put your finger into when they vomited, they actually vomited lumps of flesh.
And that this was a morges, Avalos rantala where Allah subhanaw taala converted this way, but into actual lumps of flesh, which he mentioned in the Quran. It's like eating the flesh of your dead brother. Imagine this kind of example. And why would you eat and how disgusting it is to say you're eating a dead body and that's what your own brother who died and you're, you're you're you're taking chunks out of his out of his body and eating that meat. I mean, how disgusting. This is, yes, it is disgusting. Allah says your behavior is worse than that.
Your behavior is worse than that. That is disgusting. So don't do it. And then Allah says, Do not call each other offensive nicknames, how bad it is that you call each other offensive nicknames and then it says do not eat the flesh of your dead brother. And then of course the mercy of Allah Allah says, repent and Allah Subhana Allah will forgive you. And sisters today we have a society which is based on we have social interaction, which is based on
the whole time
series. If you don't believe me, just record your conversations, just record 100 of you or technologists record your conversation. When you are in a you know, in a gathering, sitting with somebody, you're having a phone conversation, turn the recorder on your phone, keep it in your pocket, listen to their conversation after that, and you will see how much of what you're doing.
You're bad talking this person that person remember nobody ever said when you do the rebirth of somebody your good deeds go to that person. That's the reason why my mom,
Buhari Rasul Allah. He said, If I want to do Riba, I will do the rebirth of my mother, because I want my good deeds to go to heaven.
How pathetic it is that you are doing the rebirth of somebody you dislike, obviously, and your good deeds go to that person. So on the Day of Judgment, you are going to be bereft of good deeds you are going to be bankrupt and that person is going to love all the way into Jannah with your good deeds.
How would you like that?
Please don't do that. Do not do that. How many people completely impervious right the whole time you're talking about Oh, she did this she did that he did this he did that and this person is like this and you know they are this way and their intention is bad. So law whatever, you talk about intention, you went into that person's heart to see what their intention was.
To say Let us save ourselves before we meet a lot of time. And the final thing was rather than ourselves which is the crowning
the crowning glory if I can say that, which is the ayat which talks about
racial and you know, equality of in every way. In Islam, where I last ran out and I said in academic Amendola, taco, Allah said that you have been created men and women from one man and one woman, which is other Mary Sarah and Hawaii.
Allah said you have been created from
these two. So
there is no superiority of one over the others. Both are from the same source. And therefore, when
you want to think about superiority, the only superiority is on the basis of piety at COC. The superior one is the one who has the most taqwa. Otherwise there's no superiority in Islam of one race over another of one person over another of one tribe over another. Absolutely. Now,
this is reinforced by the Alberta Wada, the haba army so seldom during,
during his his last Hajj, where he said, No Arab is superior to non Arab. No white man is superior to a black man. Nobody is superior to each other. And the only one who's superior in the eyes in the sight of Allah is the one who is a Takako in academic Amendola hotcopper. We ask Allah vantara to help us to understand this Islam is the prob probably the only reason which not only does not accept racial discrimination, but Islam directly stands against it in Islam is anti racist. is nothing to do with black and white remember, I I can tell you in in white superiority or white supremacy is something we talk about in America and in other places, you know, within courts, white man's
country, but black supremacy is an equal issue in in African countries. Right? I have seen that I've encountered that. Where Indians are discriminated against by african black people. Islam says very clearly, and of course Indians are are we we are among the most racist of people going Indians discriminate against black people and Indians suck up to white people. This is a in our, in our culture in India, men if you don't believe me, go and look at matrimonial ads, all of which asked for a bride who is fair. And believe me that has nothing to do with our sense of justice. You're talking about color of skin, matte fairness creams, fairness creams have the biggest market in
Africa and India by India I mean India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, the subcontinent, fairness creams, and these are not cream which if you put on you become more just it is to lighten the color of your skin and probably give you some skin cancer in the process.
That if you hate your own skin, believe me There's no need for anyone to feel superior to you. You are demeaning yourself because you don't even like your own face. You don't like the fact that you have curly hairs we want to stress that you don't like the fact that you have straight hair. So you want to curl it. You don't like the fact the fact that you have a dark skin so you want to lighten it
and you don't like the fact that you have a light skin so you want to go roast in the in the sun on a beach to darken it.
