			Although salam ala Rasulillah neosurf veterinarian begin the name of Allah All Praise and Glory be
to Allah and these find his peace and blessings be upon His messenger Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam and his family and his companions and all those that treacherous path. May Allah azza wa jal
grant us and He will life upon his path, and the death upon his religion and our union and within
around him alone, I mean,
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:35
			how Islam offers meaningful, comprehensive liberation to human beings in society.
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:44
			They say that one time, the famous artists, the Picasso once drew
		
00:00:45 --> 00:01:27
			a very impressive sketch to one of his admirers. But when she took it, he said to her, that'll be
$10,000 or pounds or liras or whatnot. So she was shocked, he said, but it took you five minutes to
make that work of art. And he said to her, it's true. It took me five minutes to make it. But it
took me 30 years to make that in five minutes. Why do I start with this? The idea of Islam being pro
freedom, pro liberation, who isn't? That's not something unique to Islam, at least in concept. It's
a buzzword nowadays, everybody's with it, but how to actually provide that to the world.
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:40
			The devils in the details, that's what we want to speak about the unique value of Islam in offering
people in actuality, meaningful, long lasting, comprehensive liberation.
		
00:01:41 --> 00:02:21
			Let's at least start by saying that we know that Allah revealed the Quran and revealed this religion
and wanted its adherence to the degree that they adhere to be a liberating force for humanity,
literally Janessa so that you may remove people I'm gonna follow Mattila know from darkness to
light, contemplado, Medina, collegiately, nurse, you are the best model community for the sake of
humanity, even by the way, the quote unquote offensive jihad, like why did Muslims early Muslims go
on expeditions? Why didn't they just mind their own business? The Quran speaks about the fact that
they were not given the luxury to mind their business. Allah subhanho wa Taala said, when I let them
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:42
			let's party, Luna visa vie the law. Why don't you go forth and fight in the path of Allah one
mustafina And for the pat and for the sake of the press, of men, women and children who say, Oh our
Lord, remove us from this town of oppressive people. And grant for us a victor. Allah is saying, You
need to be the dua of that people, you need to be the answer to that derive.
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:52
			So the Quran is clear on this. The Sunnah is clear on this, the Muslims in their earliest best
generations were crystal clear on this, but how did they get it done?
		
00:02:53 --> 00:03:32
			I want to borrow or begin with the statement of Arabia and that which is very well known, who was
one of the companions of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, a commander of a Muslim army who
said to them, a commander of the Persians when he told him Listen, man, just go away Mind your
business. You don't want to fight us. We are an empire, none of your business what we do to our
people and how we subjugate them. So in a very, he said to him, and I wish for this to be the
skeleton of my talk, three statements he said to him in to Athan, Allah, Allah sent us forward to
the world. Lino Khadija, a bird when a bird that's very badly in Arabia that you have believed that
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:51
			to remove people liberates them from being enslaved to slaves into being enslaved, serving the Lord
of the slaves, woman God at the end either ugly Islam and to remove them from the injustice of other
systems to the justice of Islam.
		
00:03:52 --> 00:04:05
			Women laity duniya Illa, CRT dunya will ask you and from the limitations the tightness of this world
to the vastness, the opportunities, the breadth of this world and the next
