			From abajo,
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:37
			Madhya
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:39
			respected brothers and sisters
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:46
			a friend of mine asked me a question we were talking about
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:48
			all that is happening in the world.
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:58
			Not a which is negative, may Allah protect us from all evil and all harm that which we know and that
which we don't know.
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:05
			So this friend of mine, he is not he's not a Muslim.
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:14
			And he is also one of those who seems to be in the trap of blaming
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:23
			religion and braving Allah subhanaw taala blaming God for everything which is happening.
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:32
			And this is a very frequent cop out that we see from people who are otherwise intelligent, but in
this particular case, they seem to be
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:34
			seem to be confused.
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:38
			So he said, Why religion at all? Why do we need to do?
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:47
			So I said to him that I will answer this from the perspective of Islam because I'm a Muslim. So I
won't say why religion I will say why Islam.
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:56
			And I came up with when I was thinking about this, how to answer it. I came up with 10
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:59
			reasons why Islam
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:02
			and that's what I want to share with you.
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:08
			The first reason is because Allah subhanaw taala gelato is real.
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:25
			Allah subhanaw taala is not a hydrological figure. A lot of animal data is not a theory Allah
subhanaw taala is not a figment of my imagination. Allah subhanho wa Taala is not something that I
created. Allah created me.
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:34
			He's my Creator, he's my provider. He's my owner, his alcoholic family call Hakeem barraza he was
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:38
			18 He is my rough gelato.
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:42
			And to him is my return.
		
00:02:45 --> 00:03:05
			When I die, I will return to Him. And I will answer for how I live my life to be rewarded or
punished. And I asked Allah subhana wa tada for protection from his punishment and I requested him
for his requests and begging for his forgiveness.
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:15
			Allah subhanaw taala told us about this workone la Kumara Biko for mansha for human Omen sha
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:19
			Allah subhanaw taala said very clearly
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:34
			for us, where he said, say all the hammers are solemn, and say, the truth is from Europe, from
Allah, then whoever wills let him leave and
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:36
			do me.
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:41
			Allah subhanaw taala granted this freedom to everyone
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:44
			to believe or not to believe
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:47
			we are free to choose.
		
00:03:48 --> 00:04:12
			But the choice is not free. every choice has a price tag. And that is why it is essential to choose
wisely in the light of the consequences of the choice. The only criterion to use for all our choices
is does this please Allah subhanho wa Taala general or not?
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:22
			If it does, we do it if it doesn't, we don't do it. If we don't know. We don't do it until we find
out and once we find we do it or we don't.
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:37
			We don't play games. We don't take chances. We don't obey selectively based on our whims and fancies
because we know and accept and understand that selective obedience is disobedience.
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:39
			Number two,
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:59
			why do I need Islam because death is real. And the return to Allah is real. It's not mythology. It's
not a figment of my imagination. It is real. I know that I will die one day just as I saw my father
die just as I saw others die.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:12
			That we at any time, I know that I will be brought before Allah subhanaw taala and we'll have to
account for what I did in this life for what I chose to do and what I chose not to do.
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:21
			Or this Allah subhanho wa Taala said colita, of whom molekule Mattila de lo que la Vico, sama ihlara
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:58
			Allah subhanaw taala said say to them, Mohammed salatu salam, the angel of death has been set over
you and He will take your souls and you will be brought back to Allah subhana wa Tada. There is no
doubt about this. That is a reality. It is the visible reality which reminds us of the unperceivable
reality the reality in the Vive which is our return to monitor, we can see death happening, and one
day it will happen to us. What we cannot see is the return to Allah.
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:05
			But the depth the reality we can see reminds us of the reality we cannot see.
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:32
			Just like denying death doesn't mean that we won't die. denying the meeting with Allah does not mean
it will not happen. Reality does not depend on belief for its existence. It is for us to collect
correct our belief and to act according to it and prepare for the eventuality which is real, cannot
be postponed and can happen at any time.
		
00:06:34 --> 00:07:28
			Number three, I need Islam because to prepare for the inevitable is a sign of intelligence. Allah
subhanho wa Taala sent his book, The Quran, and he sent his messengers, Muhammad sallallahu alayhi
wa really he was Abu Salah, to guide us about how to live this life in a way that is beneficial for
all of humanity, for all the inhabitants of the earth and for the earth itself. Such that our lives
become beautiful forests and become a source of great harmony and beauty and grace for everyone and
everything around us about this, about this, these laws and these rules that Allah Subhana
recreated. Allah subhanho wa Taala said while a comb filter sauce he had to iya will Alba ob La La
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:46
			Quinta taco, Allison and there is a saving of life for you in Alsace, in the law of equality and
punishment, or people of understanding that you may become alma takuan, that you may become people
who are concerned about the pleasure of Allah subhanaw taala.
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:52
			This ayah refers specifically to the criminal law which law
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:56
			which very strangely, perhaps for us today, Allah says
		
00:07:57 --> 00:08:51
			his son, Allah says something very unexpected. He says that in this law, there is this there is
saving of life. For those who criticize the severity of the punishments, I would invite them to look
at the purpose of the punishment, that it must punish the criminal and not anyone else, and that it
must be a deterrent for other potential aspiring criminals by making the price of the crime very
high. Today, our societies, which have so called kinda laws, are suffering from a profusion of
crime. South Africa and India, are prime examples of rampant criminality with the most heinous
crimes being committed on an epidemic scale. The Islamic criminal code is the fairest and most
		
00:08:51 --> 00:09:27
			Merciful of criminal laws. And if and were applied, results in a huge reduction of price. I'm happy
to explain this to anyone who's interested. If anyone is interested, please send me an email and I
will send you a short lecture of mine on the criminal law in Islam, which inshallah will make things
clear for you. Point number four, why do we need Islam because human beings need a code of ethics
and values that is eternal, and not constantly changing according to the whims and fancies of the
time.
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:59
			People need to have a clear path of guidance, which tells them what is right and what is not. Some
of this is naturally clear, and you don't need a divine book or a prophet to tell you. But other
things need to be told in clear terms to be demonstrated to show that it is possible to live your
life according to that method. Islam does this for us. It shows us a clear path by
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:54
			statement and demonstration. Allah subhanho wa Taala ordered us to obey His messenger Muhammad
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and take whatever he gave us and leave whatever he told us to leave.
This shows the importance of crossovers and sell them and his solution for us. Last Thursday, Roma
de como Rasulullah Whoa, Mama, how come and who Fanta, Fanta Who? What toquilla in a la Harsha de
kaap. And whatsoever the messenger Mohammed Salah Salem gives you ticket and whatever he forbids you
from abstain from it, and fear Allah subhanho wa Taala as anger, fear Allah, Verily, Allah is Severe
in punishment. Take the case, to give you an example, take the case of making the I am quoting
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:57
			within God's recreational use of marijuana.
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:33
			Legal. I'm not saying that this is good or bad. My question is, if it is legal today, it means that
when it was considered illegal, that was a mistake. So what about all those who got jailed in the
60s and 70s the hippies for exactly the same thing? That is a recreational use of cannabis. Of
course they did a lot of other stuff. And I'm not supporting that. My point is that when laws are
based on what is trending at the time, they will be unjust there is no escape from this.
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:34
			Number five.
		
00:11:36 --> 00:12:36
			Why do we need Islam because human beings need to be reminded that there is no escape from
accountability. Because the one who will call them to account is all seeing all listening or knowing
nothing is hidden from him. geladeira Nothing escapes him. He does not sleep not doors, nor is he in
attentive in any way. He is Allah. He is not a human being. He's not like anyone or anything in his
creation. He is the Creator. He doesn't get tired. He doesn't need to rest. He has no needs, but he
fulfills the needs of everything in his creation. That is why we worship Him alone jelly gelato,
because he is alone. He is unique. He is incomparable. He is unaffected by anyone or anything. He is
		
00:12:36 --> 00:13:08
			free from all needs. He is free from all human qualities and frailties. It is therefore necessary to
spend time to know Allah subhanaw taala to feel his presence in our lives, and to allow his glory
and majesty to permeate our hearts and minds and make our lives obedient to Him. geladeira Allah
Subhana does it for me. Yeah. My name is Kyla Ratan Hira Yara, Mama Yama, muscala. Sha,
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:10
			Allah,
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:16
			Allah. So whoever does good equal to the weight of an atom,
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:32
			smartest particle shall see it see it. Whoever does evil, equal to the weight of our atom shall see
it. Nobody will escape the consequences of his or her deeds.
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:35
			On the day of judgment,
		
00:13:36 --> 00:14:09
			no matter what happened to them in this life. There are plenty of people in the world who commit all
kinds of crimes from genocide to smaller ones, and are apparently walking free and happy. Allah
subhanaw taala reminds us that every one of us is being watched. And everything we say and do is
being recorded. And on the Day of Judgment, we will see not just be informed about or read it, but
we will see it ourselves. Everything we did.
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:59
			I asked Allah subhanaw taala for his protection for all of us. Number six, Allah subhanaw taala
introduced himself in the changing of the seasons in the transformation of colors from Star grave,
apparently dead trees in the winter, standing as new to witnesses in a sea of white snow and ice to
the emerging green of new shoots. resurrection of the earth after death, the sudden explosion of
color as every twigs parts of flower in spring, in the resurgence of life, green everywhere in
summer trees in production mode photosynthesizing to produce starch and sugar to store up for the
winter. In the painting of the landscape in colors, you cannot imagine, share
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:54
			have orange and purple, yellow gold, more mauve and scarlet, painted by a hand unseen, in which
there is only goodness or fall down and fall heralding the approach of hardship. The circle of life
that advances remorselessly whether we like it or not, in every change is a message for those who
can see, and the messages prepare or perish. animals and birds, insects, reptiles and amphibians,
all recognize the patterns and are in harmony with them. Robin's and sparrows, starlings and and
Cardinals, chickadees, and Jays all build nests starting in spring, and until the end of summer,
they have raised in some cases multiple roots. The sight of them searching for worms, especially
		
00:15:54 --> 00:16:46
			Robin is an inspiration and an example of dedication to their goal to do the best for their
offspring. As the season turns, you can see monarch butterflies winging south from Canada to Mexico,
the return of the journey they undertook in spring, traveling 1000s of miles in multiple
generations, three to four generations. monarchs in eastern North America have a second home in the
Sierra Madre Mountains of Mexico, monarchs in western North North America. They overwinter in
California, researchers are still investigating what directional aids monarch butterflies use. To
find the overwintering location, it appears to be a combination, they say, of directional aids, such
		
00:16:46 --> 00:17:12
			as the magnetic pull of the earth, and the position of the sun, among others, not one in particular,
generation one monarchs are the offspring of the monarchs who overwintered in Mexico. Each
successive generations. Generation travels farther not, it takes three to four generations to reach
the northern United States and Canada.
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:29
			The butterfly, the left that left Canada does not return to Canada, but its offspring do, or
offspring who never saw Canada before. But they returned to where their parents came from. Those who
follow divine guidance don't go astray.
		
00:17:30 --> 00:18:20
			As temperatures start to fall, squirrels or nuts, acorns, pecans and other stuff that sticks with
them, and they bury them all over the place as caches for winter. But squirrels have memories like
mine, so they forget the location of some of their caches. Just thus, an oak is planted. A tree that
can reach 70 feet in height, and nine feet wide, with branches that can reach 135 feet in length,
the tree that changed the history of the world by enabling the British, Dutch, Portuguese and
Spanish to build ships that could sail across oceans in voyages lasting not weeks or months. But
ears was planted by a school.
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:29
			botany has a role in the teaching of history. And the holder of Allah subhanho wa Taala has a role
in everything.
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:38
			And that is why I lost Valentine as an individual is an hour to an hour the vasila field lady Juan

00:19:02 --> 00:19:47
			insertable Allah, Allah subhanaw taala said very early in the creation of the heavens and the earth,
and in the alternation of the night and the day, there are indeed signs for people of understanding
those who remember Allah subhanaw taala, always standing, sitting and lying down on their sides. And
they think and reflect deeply about the creation of the heavens and earth, saying, Oh our Rob, you
have not created all of this without purpose. Glory to you, give us salvation from the fire, the two
books of Allah subhanho wa Taala and Coronel Karim and his creation to be read, reflected upon and
understood. It is a sign of intelligence to recognize the signs of Allah and to see his power and
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:59
			glory and majesty in his creation. That is the reason we must change the way we teach and learn to
see the link between the creator and his creation.
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:47
			between Allah and ourselves. That is the ultimate purpose of our lives to recognize Allah subhanho
wa Taala to connect to him, to worship him to obey Him so that we can look forward to our meeting
with him. I ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to make that the best meeting of our lives. Number seven,
people ask this question, why do bad things happen if there is a law? I asked you? Why does someone
who drives like a madman have an accident? Why do you drown if you decide to swim in the ocean? Even
though there are signs saying swimming not allowed treacherous currents? Why do you get COVID? If
you refuse to wear a mask and work and wash your hands? Well, who do you want to blame? In this
		
00:20:47 --> 00:21:21
			case, the government or human stubbornness and stupidity, same difference? Allah subhanaw taala
center law. He sent a teacher who not only taught us that law, but lived by it and demonstrated for
us how it is to be done. Allah told us what would happen to those who follow the law and those who
do not. Our own experience tells us what will happen if we do not follow laws, but we still decide
not to follow the law but to follow our own desires. And then we want to blame Allah subhanaw taala
for it.
		
00:21:22 --> 00:22:17
			Allah subhanaw taala said and told us about this. Zahara pasado filbur revealed my hairy Bhima

kinds of wars and killings, freedom, facade has spread on the land and the sea, because of what the
hands of men have earned, because of what people do by their oppression and evil, that Allah Subhana
Allah and why does Allah allow it to happen so that he can make them taste a part of that? loses
		
00:22:17 --> 00:23:06
			Alma de la VMU tastes a part of that which they have done in order that they may return land on your
own, they may return by repenting to Allah subhanaw taala say O Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, say Obama, Salah, Salah, traveling the land and see what the end of those before you was,
most of them were mushrikeen most of them but idolaters and people who polytheists and people who
did not worship Allah subhanho wa Taala or who joined others in the worship of Allah. We need Islam,
because we need laws that are eternal and constant and good for all the inhabitants of the earth,
not only for Muslims, Islamic laws do not discriminate against anyone. They are not racist. They are
		
00:23:06 --> 00:24:03
			not elitist. Number eight, bad things happen, because we want them to happen. That is both the ugly
truth and the great good news, because it means that bad things can stop happening. If we choose to
behave differently. It's our call. The choice is ours. The consequences are ours. Allah subhanaw
taala said Well, my father called me mercy but him Furby, my guts about a D comb. What Yeah, for
unconcealed Allah, sir and whatever misfortune befalls you, it is because of what you have done. It
is because of what your hands have earned. And Allah pardons much. Number nine, religious list
rituals are for us. Salah, fasting Hajj, demonstrate our allegiance to Allah. Allah does not need
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:22
			them. They are for us, because they gave us they give us peace and harmony and tranquility and
contentment and happiness. Happiness is not the product of what we own. But of what we give. the
wealthiest person is not the one who owns the most but the one who can give the most

			ultramarathon is it Alina Armando wautoma no Polo, boom busy karela Allah de la heeta tomorrow in
North kulu.
		
00:24:35 --> 00:24:59
			Unless Rhonda said those who believe in Allah subhanaw taala and whose fire hearts find rest and
tranquility in the remembrance of Allah. Verily, in the remembrance of Allah, do hearts find
tranquility. I remind you on my I remind you and myself that everyone in the world is searching for
only one thing. That is the reason why people work. That is the reason why they
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:20
			struggle, why they chase money, why they chase power? Why they make all the efforts, family,
friends, everything that we strive we strive for is for only one thing and that is peace of mind.
It's been a little calm, tranquility, contentment. Yet at the end of the at the end of a life
		
00:25:21 --> 00:26:09
			of struggle, many still do not find him and they look back on their lives with frustration. That's
because you can never find something if you look for it in the wrong place. Allah subhanaw taala
told us that tranquility does not lie in what we own are in what we think we own, but in remembering
him, tranquility lies in Allah zeker in contemplating and reflecting and strengthening our
relationship within geological tranquility lies in trying to please Allah subhanho data, the result
of which is that Allah will please you, the one who can please Allah becomes free from all worldly
cares and desires and lives in a permanent state of happiness. ask Allah Subhana Allah to make us
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:12
			among those who have peace of mind and tranquility.
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:22
			Last of these number 10 is religion is not what you know. But what you do, in the words of ourselves
that
		
00:26:27 --> 00:27:19
			we used to say, Islam begins outside the mercy of Islam is what is reflected in our lives. Islam is
what our neighbors think of us. Islam is the health of our marriage, the matters of our children,
the way we treat others, and the way we respond to their treatment. Islam is not how much we know.
But how we act on that knowledge. Allah subhanaw taala said well as in bellinzona, v hos Illallah
Dena Armando Armando solly had the water was so be lucky, water was Obi Subhan. Allah said by us by
Allah by the time I took an oath of time, verily mankind is in loss, except those who believe in
Islam, and do righteous deeds, and invite one another to the truth, which is our motto and the hill,
		
00:27:19 --> 00:28:11
			monka enjoining, good and forbidding evil, and who advise one another to be patient about the
difficulties that they may encounter, in the process of practicing or preaching of Islam. Brothers
and sisters, I want to conclude by saying to you and reminding myself, Allah subhanaw taala sent us
to act, to work to solve problems, to alleviate suffering, to stop oppression, to spread goodness,
Allah sent us with the tools to recognize him, and take from him and give to others, unless Maratha
has sent us to do the work of the best of mankind, the work of the MBR the prophets, and Rousseau,
the messengers because we are the home of the last and final of them after home, there are no
		
00:28:11 --> 00:29:01
			messengers. There are no profits. They are Emma, and they'll say it the habit of Allah. Muhammad
Rasul Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, Allah gave us this as his gift without us asking for it.
How can we thank him? That is why we need religion. That is why we need Islam. ask Allah subhanaw
taala jurado to be pleased with you and never to be displeased to accept your ribeye that your
worship, to accept your drawers to give you whatever you ask with her. And then to add to it from
his generosity, and glory and magnificence. masala holla bill curry Hualalai, he was I wish mine
