Mirza Yawar Baig – Q&A with a Rabbi #2

			Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa salatu salam ala shortfilm Babel
mousseline Muhammad Rasulullah, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, the Steven cathedra cathedra.
		

			The next question he asked me, he said, which leads to my next question, do you believe that God
actively intervenes in human events, when he will actually take place? He says example Hitler's so
on? Is this God acting to punish those who have disobeyed Him, as we are told, was the case with the
slaughter of many human many Hebrews and their exile to Babylonia.
		

			In the book of Jeremiah,
		

			I said to him,
		

			there are two aspects of this question. One is what Allah subhanaw taala told us that he did in
specific cases, like ordering Musa alayhis salaam, for example, to execute the Jews who made the
golden calf and worshipped it.
		

			This is information that we are being given. This is not a ruling to be applied by us if you find a
Jew or a Muslim who decided to build or buy and worship and he would have left Islam and Judaism but
it is not our job to kill him. The Quran tells us about some events like this, which happened as
admonition to want us to stay away from such actions. Secondly, are the ads where people point which
the people point to in this context are also the ads which people point to in the Quran, which order
that disbelievers must be killed where you find them first. First of all, those Ayat were in the
nature of battle Odyssey
		

			and are not even and have not, and have never been
		

			intended or interpreted to apply to any situation of peace. Muslim history is ample witness to the
fact that Muslims, Jews, Christians, major Hindus, and so on all live peacefully and collaboratively
throughout the ages. Andalusia and Baghdad were famous for the Jewish scholars who lived there and
all the wonderful work they did and and and Muslim patronage. Ditto for the way the models and the
other Muslim rulers treated in the scholars in India in all Muslim lands, including the Amaya Abasi,
Ottoman mobile and other Muslim empires. people of other faiths practice their fates and were
permitted to do so. Including to have courts that ruled according to their laws not according to the
		

			Sharia. Jews and Christians were not compelled to go to the Muslim Sharia courts, some did, because
Sharia law is not as severe as Judaic law.
		

			There's a very interesting
		

			lecture by Dr. Reich as a Granda, the head of Austin school, it says how Islam saved Western
civilization. I will post it in the link in the
		

			description so you really must see it. Then I said to him, the second aspect of your question is If
Allah subhanaw taala intervenes in human actions, or to put it in another way, the questions that
atheists and others ask about wars and genocide, Hitler tragically is not the only one who did it.
Disease starvation, and I guess we should add environmental pollution, global warming to this list.
And if you allow me a financial system that has eight men with assets, more than 50% of the rest of
the world put together, they ask the question, if there is a God, why don't you do something? My
answer to them? He did? He made you and gave you a lot? Does God intervene? No, he doesn't, though
		

			we don't deny His power to do so if he wishes. Why did the Holocaust happen? Because those who were
with Hitler, every single one of them educated, intelligent thinking human beings, decided to
cooperate with him. People sold him the material, the machinery they know how to annihilate 6
million innocent people. People developed and built the gas chambers and sold them to Hitler. He
didn't donate. They didn't donate them free of cost. He didn't steal them. He paid for them. And
they took the money. There are records of all this and some names may surprise you, incidentally,
not a single Muslim name in that list. Then it happened because all the world leaders of the time,
		

			including those this country, chose to sit silently and watch it happen. It happened over several
years Rama Hitler built the concentration camps. Global's created the propaganda machine or criminal
law that criminalized and demonized Jews, laws were passed in a democratic way to disenfranchise
them in their own country. Almost all this took years and was not done secretly. Everyone knew what
was happening, but they did nothing. So who is to blame? Incidentally, that is what is happening to
Muslims in so many countries in the world. And we are seeing the same game with the same audience
doing the same thing, which is nothing.
		

			Why doesn't God intervene? He did. He created those people at that time he created you or me today.
And then he told us that there is a day of judgment when we will all be count to account call to
account. In Islam, there is no special treatment for anyone because they are Muslim. Murder is
murder and the murderer will be punished if not here, then most definitely there.
		

			that he was a Muslim will not save him, unless rather created his world and the entire universe and
created laws to govern them. Some are physical laws, like the law of gravity, others are moral laws
all apply to anyone in their purview irrespective of whether they choose to believe in them or not.
The effect of some loss is immediate of others. It is delayed until the day of judgment, but there
will always be an effect Make no mistake, Allah says in the Quran
		

			in surah ro zaal facade of Al bardawil Buhari Viva Casa was at Nasi Lucic owned by the Lizzie
Amarula um your your June evil that is corruption calamity is suffering has appeared on land and sea
because of what the hands of men have earned by oppression and evil leads that Allah will make them
taste a part of that which they have done in order that they may return by repenting to Allah
subhanaw taala. Now when you jump out of an airplane at 10,000 feet, and refuse to use the
parachute, which is strapped to your back, and when you reach Mother Earth and become one with her,
you complain and say, Why didn't God do something? Why didn't he save me? Well, he did. He gave you
		

			a parachute and taught you how to use it. You decided to ignore that. So the law applied to you and
you paid the price? Or maybe you decided to alter the parachute for your own reasons, which made it
ineffective, same reason? That is the answer to those who want to change the word of Allah the
Quran, claiming that they know better. If you worship God, if you worship Allah, then how can you
know better than him? What's good for you? Who do you follow? When it comes to your car? The
manufacturers manual or your own whims and fancies? You do that because the manufacturer always
knows his product best. Allah is our Creator, and he knows what's best for us. If I say that I know
		

			better than he does that I'm being delusional. And of course, then I would have left Islam. Final
thing. The reason you can't change the Quran is the same reason you can't change my book. You may
like it or you are not but you can't change it and if you do, you will be committing a crime,
copyright infringement or copyright violation. You are not the author and so you continue. Allah is
the author of all the divine books we know. We know what four or five were mentioned in the Quran.
The war to the elderly Sarah so Sophie Brahim to Bramalea Salah, the Torah to Musa Lisa injeel to
easily CERAM and the Quran to Rasul Allah Hi Salam Salam of these Zabu and Sophie Brive are totally
		

			lost. The Torah exists but with changes Injeel is also lost as the original was in Aramaic and was
not done. And after he saw his sunnah was raised to the heavens, alive and not crucified,
resurrected, his disciples dispersed. What we have as the New Testament is in fact new, not divided.
The Torah is still has some parts which are divine, to some extent, the Quran is totally preserved,
on the other hand, hamdulillah because Allah said no, no, no, no, no no Jelena Decra are in Allahu
Allah have resumed Allah said we have sat down to decode the the melody the remembrance of Allah
which is the Quran, and we will protect it to the Quran is totally preserved every aspect from the
		

			first by memorization by writing my practice in a legal system that is based on it, or alteration,
even to the extent of a single letter is totally haram, and has always been clearly understood and
fought against tooth and nail, so that people didn't try. Not that people didn't try entire
movements rose and failed, and what is Allah for example, and so on the rows and failed, and that is
why when you listen to it today, you do so with the awareness that you are listening to Europe, to
Allah subhanaw taala speaking to you, in the voice of the carry the recited Carambola we still carry
that is a feeling that I cannot possibly describe. And I thank Allah subhanaw taala and all those
		

			who stood up against all alterations Now very important for us especially I'm thinking
		

			now that we are nominal Kareem and I'm sure all of us have the opportunity to
		

			to
		

			listen to the Quran in therapy, I hope you are praying in places where
		

			a Quran is recited
		

			in the way that it should be cited which is
		

			in a beautiful tone.
		

			Not slow but definitely not like an extra strain. You know, and then in a way where
		

			you can you can enjoy the beautiful words of Allah subhanaw taala and that's that's very important
for us to keep that in mind. Because
		

			you know,
		

			that that is the very the truth of it.
		

			I want to end with another thing which
		

			which
		

			A
		

			show that certain shows the the time on the time though, which is that one of the universities where
I work as a as the Muslim chaplain, or the head of our interfaith group is a Catholic priest was a
very dear friend of mine. He sent me a message, the university decided to cancel the invocation and
blessing at the commencement, the DUA and the blessing at the commencement, because some people
don't like the mention of God and prayer in the commencement ceremony. Now, it's interesting in a
country which is plagued with mental illness, which is like an absolute epidemic. This is the this
is the this is the result of this conversation has been going on there for a while. And as they saw,
		

			sorry to see that the president of the university
		

			agreed and canceled the
		

			the comments with the invocation or blessing. Now to two questions arise for me out of this. They
did that because some people complain they say that they don't like the mention of God and prayer in
the Commencement Ceremony, okay, fine, you have the right to like or dislike something. But what
about those who want to begin? Who liked the the idea that we begin with in the name of God, that we
believe it begins? And if Allah that you begin with a blessing in the name of God, what about them?
Don't they have rights? What do you say when people reject invocation and blessing? And second
question is, what do you say when people reject DUA and blessing in the beginning of the year,
		

			you start with that, and then we complain about mental illness. Now, the conveyed interesting
whoever nice quote from J. Krishnamurti, which I use all the time, he said, It is not a sign of
health, to be profoundly adjusted to a sick society, it is not a sign of health, to be profoundly
adjusted to a sick society and we are truly sick. We are very, very sick and we don't even realize
that it's like pancreatic cancer, for example, a very rapid and lethal cancer, but you do not
realize it until it reaches a terminal stage, right? You feel perfectly healthy, and so on, but it
usually goes very fast. And when it reaches that, there's no cure for it. If you have that you will
		

			die or you will die anyway but I'm just saying that you will die with that cancer. So it is very
important for us to
		

			ensure that we remain connected with the last minute and because one day we will meet him and we ask
Allah subhanaw taala to make that the best day of our lives in sha Allah. Allah Allah Allah Allah
will carry one Allah He was having a bad article
