AI: Summary ©

The transcript describes the meaning and significance of "fit" in the context of education, using an analogy of a culture being created by individuals with specific skill sets to connect with their environment and influence others. The speakers discuss various examples of education, including the use of " naught" and "taught" to describe the process of learning and development, and the importance of understanding and embracing one's own values. The segment also touches on the difference between education and skill training, as well as the "by" of technology and science, and the importance of science in shaping the world. The agenda is focused on creating a world-class religious education that is linked to a generational project, which requires investment and change in priorities, and is not a means to achieve wealth and success.

00:00:00 --> 00:00:03
			Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim Al
hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:06
			salatu salam ala should have
freedom be even more serene or her
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:09
			mother was a little boy he saw no
love it he went it was absurd,
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:12
			this leven cathedral because your
home
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:19
			sisters, the purpose of education,
is to civilize.
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:25
			In order though we have a word
called Sahaba.
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:30
			Now, the half hours are covered.
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:36
			The usual meaning is to be able to
read and write.
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:40
			But if you take the
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:45
			origin of the word, it's on the,
the Arabic word, which is
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:45
			moussaka.
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:54
			So somebody who has a kava, in the
original meaning of the word is
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:56
			somebody who is of noble
character,
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00
			who has courage was all the
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:05
			virtues of nobility, of
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:12
			integrity, of courage, and so on.
So was not only restricted to
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:14
			reading and writing.
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:21
			So therefore, I remind myself, I
knew that the purpose of education
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:23
			is to civilize the person
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:31
			to civilize means, to connect the
human being to his greater Allah
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:36
			subhanaw taala. So that he
recognizes him, has a relationship
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:43
			with Him, strives to please Him,
relies on his mercy, understand
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:47
			his responsibility in this life,
and that he will be held
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:50
			accountable for it, and looks
forward with forgiveness.
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:57
			The purpose of education is to
give the child ethics and values
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:04
			and morals which are timeless and
fundamental, and the confidence to
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:07
			live his life by those values.
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:11
			Without this, it is not education.
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:19
			To learn a skill to make a living,
no matter what that skill is, is
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:21
			training. It is not education.
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:27
			And it doesn't matter whether that
skill is carpentry, or motor
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:33
			mechanics, or building rockets, or
medicine, or engineering,
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:40
			or flying a plane. They are all
skills. I'm not looking down on
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:43
			any of them. If I have a heart
attack, I need a doctor, I need a
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:46
			surgeon I need I need a
cardiologist, but that is a skill.
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:51
			Please understand and remember
that the people who did some of
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:52
			the
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:55
			most heinous
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:59
			experiments are living human
beings.
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:05
			In Hitler's concentration camps
are very highly trained physicians
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:06
			and surgeons.
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:09
			The people who build the gas
chambers
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:17
			with gas 6 million Jews and and
other people not only the Jews and
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:20
			the gypsies or whatever, but the
majority of the videos
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:23
			those gas chambers were not built
by ignorant people. They were
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:25
			built by engineers.
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:33
			All skilled trade, we use this
word education very loosely. We
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:35
			said they were highly educated not
they were not educated at all.
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:39
			They were not only not highly
educated, they were not educated
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:47
			at all. They had skills. They were
trained in certain skills. There's
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:52
			a world of difference between
education and skill training,
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:53
			chalk and cheese.
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:58
			Allah subhanaw taala defined for
us the meaning of education
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:01
			and the way to do it
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:04
			and those around intelligence
Olivenhain
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:09
			interviews altruism, our the will
of the of the lovely lady wanna
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:11
			hurry law till the oil Web.
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:14
			Allah says Verily,
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:19
			in the creation of the heavens and
the earth and the alternation of
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:22
			the day, in the night, there are
signs for all
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:26
			signs for people to reflect, to
understand who think who have
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:27
			intelligence.
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:31
			And then Allah subhanaw taala
describes who are these
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:36
			Allah said Allah Vina yeah the
Quran Allah keyamo Corrado Allah,
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:41
			you know, we him were yet Karuna V
occultism. Our the world.
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:46
			Allah subhanaw taala mentioned two
qualities. And he mentioned them
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:47
			in a sequence.
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:52
			Allah said these are the people
Allah Xena years Quran Allah,
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:56
			Allah you know, we, these are the
people who remember Allah subhanaw
		
00:04:56 --> 00:05:00
			taala standing, sitting and lying
down. And then Allah Allah
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:04
			rather use the preposition Wow.
Which is and
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:10
			we're yet have a Karuna vehicle
Okay so our theme this is the
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:15
			beauty of the buyer of the Quran
the entire gamut of science and
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:19
			technology and discovery and
invention is in one word which is
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:22
			yet alpha karoun He is always
developing.
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:28
			Now think about this from the
Arabic language perspective, the
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:37
			same thing can be said instead of
and by using or so instead of WoW
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:41
			by using Oh, so for example, Allah
subhanaw taala could have said
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:45
			Allah Xena yes Quran Allah hakea
mucholder wala you know wave o
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:50
			Coronavirus are these are the word
it means these are the people who
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:54
			remember Allah subhanaw taala
standing sitting Elijah or those
		
00:05:55 --> 00:06:01
			are those who reflect in the
creation of the heavens and the
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:05
			earth. So Allah saying intelligent
people are two kinds. One is those
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:10
			who reflect on Allah and remember
Allah and black and have Taqwa as
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:15
			well and also either this or that.
This is one possibility. Other
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:19
			possibilities the same thing could
have been said in the opposite
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:19
			way.
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:26
			Now Oh, Allah the nya Coronavirus
Alcazaba to a lot of the
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:34
			how or what yet have a Corona so
Allah subhanaw taala could have
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:38
			put their finger V salt is our
developer before Yes, Guru Hola,
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:40
			como pueden wala you know, you get
the point.
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:43
			But Allah did not do either or
that
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:49
			Allah did not do either of that.
Arabic grammatically we can write
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:53
			the sentence anyway. But that is
not the eyes of the Quran. The
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:56
			eyes of the Quran is what Allah
Xena has grown Allah
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:02
			Allah you know we him Wyatt have a
Corona fever Okay, some people
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:03
			are.
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:09
			So, Allah is giving us two
qualities. Allah is showing us the
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:13
			relationship between the two
qualities, Allah subhanaw taala is
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:16
			showing us the sequence of these
two qualities and what is the
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:20
			result when you do education in
this way in the sequence
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:24
			Rob Bernama kala Jota ha.
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:26
			So
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:34
			spontaneously the person was oh
our you have not created all of
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:37
			this in vain you have not created
all of this just like that like a
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:40
			game this is not an accident
didn't just happen
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:49
			masala Bahasa so Hanukkah Pina
avana
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:56
			you are pure All Glory to you all
majesty to you save us from the
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:56
			hellfire.
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:06
			This is the trap that we have
fallen into and allowed ourselves
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:08
			to fall into
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:13
			Allah subhanaw taala use this and
taught us this.
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:16
			So that we
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:24
			and understand the meaning of
education, and the sequence of
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:24
			education.
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:28
			When we invert the sequence,
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:31
			we have the opposite we have the
problem, which is
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:35
			we have scientists who are
atheists.
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:41
			And we have Alama of Islam who
don't understand the first thing
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:45
			about science. The moment you talk
about scientists, he started in
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:45
			delet
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:51
			both are undesirable situations
and completely unnecessary
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:52
			situations.
		
00:08:54 --> 00:09:01
			Right now, this is what used to
have the tragedies. If we had been
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:06
			people who are always like this,
they're not gonna say what these
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:07
			people are like this.
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:14
			But we will not wash bread what
really between and that's why I
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:19
			study history. We will not like
this. We are people who are at the
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:25
			cutting edge of technology and
science in this world while being
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:30
			grounded in Islam Alhamdulillah
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:35
			but it went
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:43
			Sure, I agree. Historical
insurance, invasions, colonial
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:48
			colonialism and colonial rule
zones on all this had an effect
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:52
			and I'm not trying to you know
whitewash all that and say No it
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:53
			did. But
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:59
			how can hundreds of years of
scholarship and hundreds of years
		
00:09:59 --> 00:09:59
			of
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:03
			Research and Methodology simply go
to the brain because there is a
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:03
			war.
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:09
			So it shows that it is not only
the external, it's something
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:12
			inside we decided to be focus.
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:17
			Now my point here is not to sit
and die or that my point is to say
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:21
			that even today, if we want to
change, it's in our hands.
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:28
			We must invest in the proper kinds
of schools and Islamic schools
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:28
			that
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:35
			give you a world class religious
education. Embedded in a world
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:39
			class scientific education has to
go hand in hand. It cannot be
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:41
			tagged on to the end of which
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:45
			it cannot be cosmetic to say all
the boy was were to be there all
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:47
			developers were here. No, no.
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:52
			That's like saying everyone should
read we should wear pants. I mean,
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:54
			were they wearing hijab, a trophy?
And so on is is part of your dress
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:57
			code? I mean, you don't have to
say that.
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:00
			But that's not enough in itself.
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:04
			It is the teaching methodology is
the curriculum, it's a syllabus.
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:08
			It's a whole thing together. I
mean, if we don't invest in that,
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:12
			it doesn't go out of the air. It's
not doesn't fall down with rain.
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:18
			So I have my idea of saying this
to you and all those people to
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:18
			whom this
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:23
			reminder goes through, is please
think about this. Think about this
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:28
			city, in your city, in your
communities in your groups. Focus
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:31
			on this Don't Don't worry about
all the what's happening in Libya,
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:36
			we get a lot of energy, World Cup
soccer, cricket.
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:41
			And right now crisis in Gaza. And
this weather.
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:44
			By all means make dua for Gaza.
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:48
			Donate money for Gaza. But
remember,
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:53
			if you want to prevent the process
from happening, it won't happen by
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:54
			donating money to this.
		
00:11:56 --> 00:12:00
			It will happen by creating a
system which ensures that this
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:02
			kind of stuff does not happen
again.
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:07
			And this is a generational
project. It is not something that
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:11
			you and I can sit and say okay, we
take five years and after five
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:15
			years, you are the kings? No, it's
a generational project. We have to
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:18
			start we have to teach the
children our children have to
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:21
			raise their children and Allah
knows how long it takes but it
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:24
			will take and it will happen
because this is the law of Allah
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:26
			subhanaw taala if happens with
others happen with us.
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:31
			But effort has to be made,
investment has to be has to be
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:34
			made, priorities must be changed.
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:40
			We must correct our line with
Allah subhanaw taala and we must
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:45
			invest in ourselves as a community
as an ummah.
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:51
			Ask us rather than a dealer who to
give us these priorities to fill
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:57
			our hearts with with true figure
for the Muslims and the courage
		
00:12:57 --> 00:13:01
			and the fortitude and the
integrity and the strength to
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:06
			invest in projects that will
inshallah remove this hardship and
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:10
			removes oppression that we are
suffering from Barcelona Hello
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:12
			Anna will carry while it was with
me
