Hola Rahim al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil alameen wa salatu salam ala l mursaleen. Muhammad Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa. Seldom at the Sleeman kathira mmabatho.
Sisters, I'm sitting here the minimum temperatures minus 11, the maximum of minus four.
But finally, because we have been going through a
spell of pretty warm weather, in the middle of this
cold weather, normally cold weather, the funny thing is that
American Robins have come back. Now, these are migratory birds, and then they do not come until
in March, or sometimes maybe even April. But they are here now in January, and we are headed into this extremely cold weather. I'm hoping that they will survive and that they won't just die or something because they're not used to this. Their main food is, is earthworms. And the ground now is rock solid. And there's not a single, self respecting earthworm in sight.
Of course, they come to my bird feeders. I tried to put something there. But obviously I you know, I can't give them what I don't even I don't even know what all they eat, but we try. Anyway, the point is that the reason I'm saying this to you is because it shows to me again and again, the holder of the hollows Renata and how Allah subhanaw taala manages his creation so beautifully, that even when something goes wrong, those birds still have something to eat. I mean, I was noticing specifically that they seem to be well fed. I mean, so they are not skinny.
They are not weak, they're full of energy as they are amazing bird with, with a with an amazing attitude. And they are very much they're not they're not seeing they're silent, but normally they're very vocal.
But they're not this time there's is it just too cold for them to sing.
And then there is of course the black capped chickadee, which is this big, which is smaller than a sparrow which lives through this entire winter. And no matter how much of snow no matter what.
It's been a funny winter because we've had very cold weather but no snow, just now today we had a little bit of snow. So at least the ground outside looks, looks white, but I don't know how long that whiteness will remain.
We are on the lesson of the wisdom of binary Salaam and we have been talking
about this and see
and see what we learnt
that along those things are the rights of of neighbors.
I mentioned this at least in the last class, but I want to say it again. It's very beautiful. These were generated over the Allahu rasuna Sallam said, who will accept these words from me and act upon them and or teach people who will act upon it.
Who will accept these words from me and act upon them or teach people who will act upon them and I would err on the line Who said I said jasola I am ready for solo solo Salim took him by the hand, I see the beauty of this being ready to do the work of Allah subhanho wa Taala did the has an immediate payoff has an immediate reward. In this case, physically having the hand of uncivilized Salaam in your hand. And he took his hand. So imagine there's a difference between you know, you going and grabbing somebody's hand and that person extending his hand and taking your hand and it's not just any ordinary person. This is the Rasul of Allah. This is the Marvel marsali the mamula via
the shadle mursaleen the heart on the B.
This is Muhammad Mustafa sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi wa sallam said, So, he took up the hand of Abu huraira, about the alano in his hand. And then he said, If you guard against the things, which are forbidden, you will be the most devout of men, right we want to be pious
and reasonable what are the things I must do
to make me pious Do I need to pray all night we need to fast you know all day must I increase my charity must I do this once I do that, yes to all of those things, but the most important is to stop doing
right is to stop doing and this is our even in you know scientifically our theory of force field analysis. This is what we talk about we say that we say cut the losses first. Plug the leaks first. Because there is a tendency in the fitness of the human being, as well as in all processes. There is a tendency towards goodness but
provided we fix the evil, we fixed the negativity, otherwise there will be a tendency towards
towards evil, towards degeneration, and so on and so forth. Right? So, it is very important to ensure that we plug the loopholes. So what is the reason I'm saying to him, he says if you guard against the thing which are forbidden.
So before you do something good, ensure that you are not doing something bad. Say, for example, that to give you an A, to give you an idea what I mean,
you got a person who is very devout. So this person is you know, praying, praise the Lord, lots of Navarre fail, and the hedgerows and this and that. And this person, fast, a lot of voluntary, a lot of Navarre fill fast not only know that, and then this person gives a lot of charity, and so on and so forth. But the loophole the the drain in their character is that they are given too bad, too bad mounting people. They are given to everybody given to backbiting they're given to slandering people, right? So what do you think is happening now? You got the good deeds pouring in no doubt about that.
And the reward is being trotted up for those good deeds. But at the same time, there is this drain, which is transferring these good deeds into the accounts of those people who are being slandered those people who are being bad, bad, bad mouth, and so on and so on. So now if this person asks you what if you could actually see these two things? And look, what can I do to ensure that I have a lot of good deeds when I meet a lost man? Oh, then what would you tell them? Would you say pray pray more Raphael? Pray fast more? No, no, first of all, plug this hole. Stop backbiting, stop bad mouthing, people stop doing River. Right, stop that first. Then whatever you do, even if you don't
increase any of that, it will remain. And every day, every record is being added to that. So by the time you are ready to go to meet Allah subhanaw taala, you will have a lot of good deeds, because they are being preserved.
They're being preserved. But if you don't do that, and if this drain is open, then no matter what you do, it's going to escape,
it's going to go away. So the key is not to just do more good, but to ensure that you stop the evil.
That is the most important thing that struck the
dragon by the hand. And he said to him,
that guard against the things which are forbidden, and you will be the most devout of men. Number one, number two, he said if you are pleased with what Allah has allotted you, you will be the richest of men.
The greatest to wealth, is contentment. It is to be satisfied with what we have
not to want more and more and more know what I have Alhamdulillah I am satisfied with that.
If Allah gives you more Alhamdulillah I am not complaining, I'm not refusing it. But even if I don't get anything more what Allah has given me, as long as I have that much Alhamdulillah I am happy I am satisfied. So he said if you are pleased without what Allah has allotted you, you will be the wealthiest, richest person number three, he said if you are kind to your neighbor, you will be a believer. Imagine is putting this as a condition of belief. If you are kind to your neighbor, you will be a believer, do I want to be a believer? of course what must I do? I should be kind to my neighbor.
Obviously, I should also have faith in Allah subhanaw, taala and so on. So all of this goes without saying but I should be kind to my neighbor. And then he said, if you like others to have what you like for yourself, you will be a Muslim.
You should want for others what we want for ourselves. It's not only enough to say this, everybody says this. But when it comes to actually give you something,
then what happens?
Then we
hold our hands.
Then we close our fist. We use inshallah as a excuse.
So if you want to, if you
want for others, what do you want for yourself to be a Muslim? And then he said, Don't laugh immoderately because immoderate laughter causes the heart to die. You know, shouting was after No. So don't do that. Don't laugh immoderately because immoderate laughter causes the heart to die and that is in a mother tirmidhi
Another HUD is narrated also by a water or the Allahu wa salatu salam declared, he will not enter Jannah whose neighbor is not secure from his wrongful conduct.
Now, please notice we are not pronouncing the fear on anybody, we are not saying the person will go to jail is we I am just narrating to you the meaning of the words of a civilized person. And he said
and Delano narrated this, he will not enter Jannah whose neighbor is not secure from his wrongful conduct. So, here's specifically what is being mentioned is somebody who is troublesome, quarrelsome, somebody who bothers and harms their neighbors.
And as soon as SLM is making a making such a powerful and hard statement, to say that such a person will not enter, we ask Allah subhanaw taala to save us from
such conduct alone this does it's very important for us to understand that the purpose of this Deen of Islam is to live it the purpose is not to talk about it the person's purpose is not to argue about it or discuss it and so on and so forth. The purpose is to live the religion. So, whatever else you might do, even if you are discussing the religion, even if you are, you know, not arguing about in a bad way, but definitely to understand something you ask some questions and so on so forth. We are we we attend Allah cause we give her a cause. We attend all these and then we ask all these questions, the end of the day. All of this must translate into positive action. If that is not
happening, then May Allah protect us.
Our learning will become a herd jet will become a proof and evidence against us on the Day of Judgment. We definitely don't want that. Another have these narrated by Abu Shura, Alon who Rosaura Sallam said by Allah he does not believe by Allah he does not believe by Allah he does not believe. Now this is such a
such an amazing and such a
momentous statement. Where Rasul Allah, Allah Himself is saying he doesn't believe he doesn't believe three times he doesn't believe he doesn't believe and then he's not just saying he does, he is taking an oath is a by Allah he does not believe by a lie does not believe by Allah he does not believe this and jasola Who is this? Who is this person about whom you are saying by Allah he does not believe Rasul Allah Sallam said, that person. The one hos neighbor does not feel safe from his evil. The early adage I decided for you where he said he will not enter Jannah whose neighbor is not secure from Israel, a wrongful conduct is from say, Muslim, and this one is from say, Bukhari where
Misha Sallam said, By Allah, he does not believe he said it three times they asked him, Dr. Salah, who is this person, and numbers are upset the person whose neighbor does not feel safe from his evil. Brother sisters is such a critical thing, such an important thing for us to remember this, that at the end of the day, Islam is all about practice. Think about this, why is this huge?
emphasis on Davis? Because if you look at it, what people see is our conduct. What people see is our content. People do not see.
They don't see you know, our worship, obviously, they don't see our belief because belief is inside us in the in the cult, but even our worship and so on. By and large, people don't see fasting they cannot see, unless they actually ask us we do eat some food if you say no, I'm sorry, I'm fasting. But other than that they cannot see if you're fasting. Our prayers are inside, the images are in there in the homes, people can't really see, see our prayers and so on. What people do see is our actions, our mobile app, the way we deal with people, our manners, our o'clock, the baby, the way the way we drive our cars, the way we park our cars, the way we keep our homes and houses inside as
well as outside. You know, all of these things is what people see. One of the things that I've always, which strikes me so powerfully in America is the number of elderly people who I see cleaning their yards, mowing their lawns, you know, doing all this work. In fall, we have here in the in
Not in New England, in the northeast, very, very beautiful weather in autumn, where leaves change color. And it's like a absolutely a kaleidoscope of color, the all of the atmosphere, the whole scenery is multicolored. But then those leaves fall with the is called the whole series is called a season of fall, because the dry leaves fall, and then there's an enormous amount of dead leaves lying around. But it's amazing. These people, they will not let those dead leaves just stay there. They don't even wait and they say no, let the municipal corporation or whatever passes for it. City Council or services, let them know. They do it themselves. They take floors, they collect the
leaves, they bag them, and they keep those bags for the garbage trucks to carry away on the garbage does that I have seen elderly old and some of them I know. I know. They're in the 80s in many cases. Now one very good friend of mine, he's 9293 this year
doing their own work to ensure that their homes the surroundings, they look absolutely spigots, man. Absolutely. And this is what people this is what strikes people. Now I'm telling you this because I'm seeing that right now. So I don't know what what do they believe? I don't know. Yeah, they Christians are not Christians. I don't even get or do they pray to the not pray, do they go to the church, I don't care whether they pray, they don't pray. But what I do see is how they keep their homes. What I do see is how they drive their cars. There is such courtesy, I'm when I go for walks I when I'm walking, almost invariably, right? I don't say every single car, but definitely a number of
them will wave. I am a stranger. I'm quite obviously not a white Americans person even. And these people passing here, this northeast is almost 100% white. I mean, there is very few black people here. But they all wave.
They're all courteous. They please thank you this that very, very well. And this is what shows the character for people.
There were signs when this COVID thing started. And we were hearing getting reports to say that in India, people who are
doctors and nurses, when they return home from the hospitals, the apartment buildings that they are staying in, they're not allowing them to come inside. In some cases, they're storing them that they threw rocks at them. And there's a get out you're carrying COVID doctors and nurses. I mean, if you get COVID, you go to the hospital room who looks after that not not your wife and children, those same doctors and nurses and you throw stones at that. Now when we were seeing these reports from India, what do I see here in America, I see signs on people's
on their lawns, right, which you can read as you're as you're driving, saying thank you very much first responders will love you, first responders, and so on and so on. I mentioned this also, I think in the in the
classes, as well as for the reminders. in those early days of COVID. In New York, there was a massive epidemic, huge numbers of people who were affected by COVID, many, many people died and New York was so badly affected, they couldn't even bury people, you know, immediately so they were keeping them keeping the bodies in refrigerated vans and all that. My sister works in a hospital in the in the COVID ward. And she tells me that I asked her I said what do you do for for your food and so on. She said, we don't have to buy anything. Everything guys come from where does the hospital provide his hospital as much as it is not even hospital, he said it is the relatives of the people
of the patients. They are ordering pizzas for us and ice cream for us and all kinds of stuff and it gets delivered, you know, cheesecakes and water dish or a fridge is full of that stuff.
And she says when they form to ask about their relatives, he says there's not one single person who will simply want to say hello, how is George? How is how is maybe they will first tank us? Is it Thank you very much. We really appreciate the work you're doing. You're so you know so good of you. You leave your homes and your families and you expose yourself to these to this COVID so that you can take care of our people. Now can you please tell me how is George?
This is a clock. This is a clock?
Really we have to remind ourselves and it's no good saying Oh, but you know, this is nice. But this is really Islamic Islamic behavior, these real Islamic values and our prophets. Allah Salam told us about this 1400 years ago. My point is if that is so how come you don't do it?
How come you don't do it?
How come somebody else is doing it. And when they are doing it, you see this Islamic behavior, they are not doing it because Islam behavior, they don't know anything about Islam. They don't even see this behavior from Muslims.
Please, my brothers and sisters, let us get real because otherwise, on the day of judgment, these people will be witnesses against us to say that we used to do what you should have done.
Believe me, we don't need this. We do not need this we need the forgiveness of Allah subhanaw taala we need the support of Allah subhanaw taala to cover our faults and cover our sins.
Having said that, now also think about this, that all of these are these which I mentioned to which are concerning neighbors. They support the fact that Islam does not differentiate between people when it comes to human rights and civil rights.
All humans are equally valuable in Islam.
All humans have the same rights and privileges. And all humans are equally accountable. being Muslim does not give you the right to lord it over others. On the contrary, it places the responsibility on you and me to be extra nice to others. Because as a Muslim, we are representatives of surah Salaam, and we are standard bearers of Islam.
Your behavior, my behavior is our most powerful power.
And your neighbor, my neighbor, they are our best witnesses.
Our behavior is the best our and our neighbors are the best witnesses.
Your behavior with your neighbor is not and must not be a reaction to his it should and it is a reflection of your Islam. My behavior with my neighbor must not be a reflection must not be a reaction to his behavior. So it should not be a state where I am good to my neighbor, because my neighbor is
right? No, I must be good to my neighbor. Because I'm a Muslim.
I must be good to my neighbor. Because my enemy sallallahu Sallam taught me to be good to my neighbor.
We must be proactive in this goodness.
We must go a step beyond that. As soon as Alan said Be good to the one who is not good to you. Give the right to the person who takes away your right.
Right.
And that's why
our behavior is a reflection of our identity as Muslims and that's why who is a Muslim, the one who is good to his neighbor.
Very, very important for us to understand this. Now you've heard the story of from me many times of Abdullah bin Mubarak Rasul Allah. That was one of the greatest of the interview. He and Hassan Busey Raja larae. These are people who are called literally sort of the so called disabled Tabby. Now, these are the people who are the leaders of the taboo. Now, Abdullah is a great scholar of Islam. He had a Jewish neighbor who wanted to sell his house. When a buyer came, he quoted a price which was twice the market value
is say for example, the value of the house was 100,000 dinar. He quoted 200,000. Now the buyer was very surprised and he asked him why he was quoting such a high price. The answer Do you know who my neighbor is?
He said, he said it is Abdullah bin Mubarak.
The premier is for the privilege of being Abdullah bin Mubarak Neva.
This is the
statement being made by a Jewish neighbor is not the man is not even a Muslim. But he's saying that being the neighbor of Abdullah bin Mubarak
is a monetizable benefit.
If you ask yourself
if you're surprised, ask yourself
if you don't put a premium for example, on waterfront properties, or properties close to a bus station or train station, a properties which are close to school in the school district or close to market. Like Don't be Don't be, quote a premium
on properties based on the perceived benefits that come with the property due to his due to its location. Don't we pay for an address?
Right It's not just enough to have a house somewhere it was housed in the right address.
Now far more important than sea facing or whatever benefits
is the benefit of
Good Neighbor.
That is what the Jewish neighbor of the lagoon Mark went. When Abdullah Ali heard this story, he went over and asked him, Why is this why was he was setting the house. The man said he needed the money. Abdullah Abdullah said to him, I will lend you the money, interest free, you return it when you can return it. But please stay as my River. Don't leave us and go somewhere else. Right. Now this is a glimpse into Muslim society as it is meant to be.
Tell me if we are like this. How can anyone hate somebody like this? That has asked yourself this question? How can someone hate somebody who is like this might be the answer of the line who said Whoever has three qualities will have completed the faith. Whoever has three qualities will have completed the faith. One is fairness from yourself to others. Number two, offering peace to the world salamati safety peace to the world and three spending in charity even when you have little, even if you are poor and this is a this isn't Buhari, and this is from a mighty Asad Rolando, the blessed son of the first two martyrs in Islam.
So we have been to yet and are we are so
worthy.
And Yasser Allah
and Yasser Allah, Omar, these were the two these are the parents of Amar, vinyasa, nama vinyasa, the Lama says, and he
was here his house was the house in which the which restaurant was called by dropcam. And in Makkah, this is where he started his preaching. That was the the first place where a sorcerer Salaam used to teach and use to the Muslims to pray together and so on in that place. Now, Mr. Nasser Delano, he says, Whoever has three qualities will have completed the faith that means he is the man inshallah, and his faith is complete. The first one of them is fairness from yourself to others, and it be fair to people.
Don't take advantage of anybody. Don't deceive anybody, don't shortchange anybody. Be fair to people, to fairness from yourself to others. He said, second one is solemn,
which is sayings alarm, and also acting in a way where people do not have anything to fear from you. They don't have anything fear from you. You're not irritating anybody. You're not taking anybody's rights. You know, you're being just and fair and nice. So offering Salam peace to the world. And the third one was spending in charity, even while you are poor.
Even if you have a little still spending in charity, you don't have to wait and say I will do it when I have $10 million, no, whatever you have. Now, greeting people is one of the most prominent symbols of Islam. Our greeting refers to our attitude towards people as being their well wishers to who begin the conversation with a gift and that gift is wishing peace and safety on them. A Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato. Now we shall give when you agreed do more, so somebody says Salam aleikum. You see ya Kumar salam wa rahmatullah.
If somebody says Salam aleikum, wa rahmatullah wa Alaykum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.
Okay, give more. Don't be Don't be a person who is stingy. Somebody has a saying a Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato. And you say well, no, no, that is that is rude. That is something which is highly disliked that you are discounting in this you're being as if it's coming from your pocket. You are only wishing this do it or giving to people
sometimes he will also say you know, who was to whom was greed first Django one of the older one.
There's a reason for both the younger man younger man was greed first because the older one is older and so is deserving of respect for that reason it's not anything else. But the older one really must take procedures in greeting the younger one because our greeting is
our greeting is so who gives the old one or the old one to the younger
do other acts kerravala package
so
don't wait for the angle and of course the angle was also try to
exceed an excel in this
lesson said
that
This alarm must be given to those we know and those we don't know. Now the hadrosaur have explained this as meaning Muslim and non Muslim. Right? This doesn't mean that we are condoning shill can cover and bringing everyone on the same level with respect to the position with Allah in the ACA, there are plenty of IRS saying that anyone who dies without Islam will be among the losers of the observer. But it refers to how we should treat people in this world that are talking about what happens the other
house we treat, we must treat everybody as
equal meaning with equal courtesy with equal kindness with equal helpfulness
is extremely, extremely important. Right? Our entire history is replete with how our leaders and rulers treated non Muslims with compassion and understanding. Now I'm not saying for a minute, that Muslim rulers never committed excesses that Muslim rulers never did anything wrong, that Muslim rulers were always the kindest and the most pious of people that are not the case. rulers or rulers and Muslim rulers have there have been some Muslim rulers who have been as evil as the as the most evil, any other ruler. But I'm saying by and large, if you compare, for example, the Christians of the First Crusade or the Mongols of hooligans, they completely in the First Crusade when they
attacked and they conquered Jerusalem.
The Christians of of Europe, they completely laid waste. They killed every living thing in Jerusalem.
Who are the people in Jerusalem? There was a Muslim is the Jews. And when the Christians attacked and conquered Jerusalem, they killed every single Muslim every single Jew man, woman child, they kill the chickens, they kill the dogs, they kill the cows of the cattle and the goats everything.
Right? Similarly, hola goes Mongols. They attack Baba. They kill every single thing, every single thing there was not a one living person
that was left alive.
To the extent that the soldiers there were so many dead bodies lying and rotting in the streets, that the soldiers couldn't even walk because they had to walk on top of the dead bodies. That's not easy. So they put planks over the dead bodies for the soldiers to work. But when Sahaja Yoga Talalay he conquered Jerusalem, to the great surprise of the Christian rulers, he gave safe passage to all the Christians who had been ruling Jerusalem, including their knights and soldiers who had fought him
right before the dialogue reported between Bali and of evil in the defender of Jerusalem and Salah how they knew we had to lie, when Salahuddin will be offered the crusades, Crusaders safe passage, this dialogue is is completely it's it's salutary. balyan expressed surprise and he says but those people he said that is referring to the Crusaders referring to the First Crusade 88 years earlier. He said but those people killed all the Muslims in Jerusalem.
when when when surrounded around Talalay when he offered free passes to Berlin of rebellion. He balanced it but those people meaning our people, the Christians, he said they killed all the Muslims Jerusalem. Satya Nadella Rahmatullah he said, I am not those people. I am Salahuddin.
Right. This is this is the character of the person. He said, I am not those people. I am Salahuddin. That is why to this day. Christian historians have always written about Salahuddin with great respect.
It has never been our way to imitate others, especially in evil and evil behavior, and to quote their behavior as an excuse for our own. Why did you call it this murder? Because they also did.
We do what we do because of who we are? Not because of what others do to us. This is not our way. We behave in a certain way because we are the followers of Muhammad Rasulullah sallallahu sallam.
We don't behave in this way because of anyone or anything else. Right.
Salahuddin is descendant and Malik el Gamal receiver Dede.
Molly. Mohammed he's called.
He's called by medical common, medical common. In drug 38. He defeated the fifth crusade about the way he treated the Franks
About the way he treated the Christian soldiers who were his prisoners, the historian, Oliver's Scholastica, who was known to be a very anti muslim guy, he recorded this. He says, Who could doubt that such goodness, friendship and charity comes from God. men whose parents, sons and daughters, brothers and sisters had died in agony at our hands, whose lands we took, whom we drove naked from their homes, revived us with their own food, when we were dying of hunger, and showered us with kindness, even when we were in their power.
And this is a
Oliver's scholastics brothers sisters, manners have to do with consideration for others are acknowledging their contribution to our day and life by thanking them and doing our part by owning responsibility for others welfare. No society can exist without these underlying parameters. All these come from an attitude of humility and respect for others. We appreciate these things when we travel in the west where please and thank you and sorry, are the most common use phrases. When standing in a queue, waiting your turn to board a bus or elevator disposing garbage responsibly, and giving up your seat to the elderly or weak or all the knobs. Yet we do not practice these in our
society. I'm not saying that nobody does. I'm saying that most of us don't. I always say that if you want to know the true nature of our civilization, look at how they behave in public places where they are not supervised. See how people behave in hajj. Here is Muslims, here are Muslims going to the most sacred ibadah the most sacred place in the in forests in the world? To do the most sacred? Or how about that? How do we behave?
How do we behave? I don't I'm not going to go into an explanation or or a description of that, you know, and I know what you have seen you and I know what I've seen.
manners are the secret of the success of Islamic Dawa Omar him da da da da da da said invite people to Islam, even without words.
So the number the Delano, he's he said, invite people to Islam silently, even without your words. They asked how he replied with your manners with your manners. Humility is the foundation of manners. treating people with kindness and compassion, helping people in need, ensuring the safety and security of all people opening the doors of goodness of Islam to everyone so that they benefit from Islamic laws and culture, even if they are not Muslim. These are the ways in which Islam spread
Abdullah bin Mubarak. He said I studied other for 30 years I studied other manners for 30 years before I approach knowledge. My family when as his mother said to her brother allowed her to lolly her when she sent him to study under Roberto right take from his other before you take from his knowledge.
Today we have replaced the humility of our self with our own arrogance rooted in our ignorance. We have replaced the soft voices of reason with our own harsh and confrontational attitudes and wonder why we are no longer loved by anyone, including our own.
People came to Islam because they fell in love with Rosado Salaam and his Sahaba. They didn't come to Islam because they lost arguments.
You cannot do both. You can either win an argument or you can win somebody who's hurt. You can't do both.
Somebody who loses an argument is not feeling friendly towards you. They may have lost the argument. Maybe you are a great debater.
We must change our manners and learn to treat people with respect and honor and friendship. We must learn to smile and share
we must take must make Toba and get off our high horse of arrogance and come down to earth and realize that it is Islam which gives us honor and that Islam is not the name of the house that we were born in. But the name of our practice. We don't become Muslim by being born into a Muslim practice family. But by practicing Islam
amen manners must distinguish us and honor us. Only then will people love and respect us. If not, we will remain despite
And hated and ignored and subjugated.
