alumni island
was it

the wall
the respective brothers and sisters
I talked in the past
about success.
And I mentioned four practical steps that Muslim can take toward success.
And we said that the definition
of success
according to
the definition of success
is mentioned
in many boxes and not for one particular that stands on chapter three verse 185
could not see that every soldier shall face death
every soul shall come
to face the end of the testing period in this life.
That's when people
will come to the realization
of whether their endeavors in this life problem success or not. So, loss of habitat it says it is done
when the destination
and the fate
of a person is shown to him or her and then Susie hi now, what was the feeling, gentlemen? So whosoever is removed away from Hellfire protected from Hellfire escaping from Hellfire
and admitted to paradise
that he has indeed succeeded, or one and try enough.
That's real victory.
So that's the definition.
And I went over four practical steps, the first of which was knowledge.
And we briefly talked about it. And the second one was
manners,
etiquette.
And the third was activism, putting that knowledge
and putting those matters into action.
And then these will be sustained with our support system without a defense mechanism and we went to over
Five Points, or five elements that form that defense mechanism. Today, I would like to elaborate further on the first point,
Baltimore, Maryland, early 1990s.
Upon my arrival
to that area,
I have a group
that has started a program to teach more, and
I was pretty young back then.
I'm still young.
But I was a lot younger.
I was a teenager, that had just finished the memorization of the core app.
I was honored and fortunate to learn from one of the best
in the world.
So I don't need to utilize my time
when a retired civil engineer,
showed up one day,
a conference
by the name of john young, he occasionally
was a chaplain.
The broker asked me to teach him
whatever I know about the proper institution, and
so I said,
and that might reflect some hidden risks
of being affected by the stereotype. As a brother, I don't teach.
Or I'm not good at teaching, how to read.
I can teach Two, three.
But how can we the Arabic letters,
I'm not the best choice here in this town,
together with my back.
So he said,
I just want to learn whatever you have whatever you can offer, whatever time you can give me. And remember that he drove an hour and a half,
one and a half hour battle through that heavy traffic
of the Washington Metropolitan Area,
just to come and sit for 15 minutes, or 30 minutes, whatever I can give him. So I said, Brother, I don't want this trick reviewers to be a waste. So just go ahead and read that you see
that Where do you want me to read. So I said, maybe what might be helpful is getting certified that everybody goes up.
Quick. So it's the first of the four as the most important sooner because we have to recite it properly.
So I said pre certified
from the military started reading until he finished and said well, or need any
more help eyes pumps out. And I was shocked.
For this Congress
has a better reputation
and better ability to administer and follow the rules, the fine rules of Tajweed. Some people may not even know what the word means. It means the proper etiquette or the proper manners with which it should be decided the crowd is unique in every way, including the way it should be decided. And he was able to observe those words,
or the main one.
And I said, Brother, you're better than the average
Arabic speaking Muslim.
What do you want me to teach you?
And then he came in and he said, Brother, listen, he gave me an analogy. That 1516 years later, I still remember. And I share with people is that rather than
Listen, if a baby was delivered by a doctor, and the doctor holds that baby, if that made me look at the doctor's badge, and said Doc,
everyone will be shocked.
It might become a breaking news that a newborn was able to utter and pronounce the first three letters of the title of the duck.
Now he said the same 18 years later, if he was to come and face that same doctor, look at his back
unsafe,
people feel sorry for him,
and will think that he is mentally challenged, or that he has some kind of learning disability
and will seek help for
whatever was amazing, at one point
became detested at another point.
So he said, ever since I accepted Islam, I doubt
that whenever I find someone who has a better reputation for adolescence is the source of knowledge of Islam, that I will do whatever it takes to learn from that individual.
I will go out of my way to learn from that individual
despite his age, or his race, or his educational
or social background,
talking about someone
that is that couldn't have or that had a child, my
son said,
I wish that we all have this level of commitment. And the Brotherhood Come
on a regular basis.
Brothers and sisters, one of the reasons my intention was to go over the merits
of seeking knowledge
and what data has promised those who seek knowledge,
what
I saw in this area,
and the kind of attitudes that some of us might have,
despite the fact that we live
in one of the most influential areas
of this nation,
despite the fact that we are one of the most fortunate communities in America,
for all these resources, and all these facilities, and all these individuals that we have around,
I find it to be very sad,
very sad when you go to MSDN and find someone
at the caliber of doctors
or chef
or chef
or shampoo
or shake
or any of those
and the list goes on and on and on. When you find them delivering a speech or lecture
and you only find 104 people sitting there.
Now, those handful people should be
should be appreciated.
And one might say that is the quality that matters, but not the quantity.
Now that you have people some of whom are international figures,
they attract
hundreds, if not 1000s, if not 10s, of 1000s. of audience
that went to Beijing we have all kinds of excuses.
Brothers and sisters.
Amongst heroines, Allah says in chapter 47, verse 19, and the hula.
Know that there is no date there is no God. There is no deity worthy to be worshipped from loss of habitat and no understand, have conviction. There is a belief we have no such thing as blind faith is our faith is based on facts is based on logic.
It is based on rationality. It is based on knowledge.
This is our face.
Yes, you find many Muslims
taking this issue of sci fi novels lightning
when we have no excuse whatsoever,
you know Dark Age is not dark because it doesn't have light
but rather because people
fail in pursuing it.
So when a group of people fail in pursuing light, that age is cold, dark ages. Neither did it or it doesn't have light, the light is there. But people don't seek it.
People don't pursue it.
They come up with all kinds of excuses. To turn away from it.
We should realize that we have no excuses whatsoever.
When it comes to the matter of seeking knowledge, knowledge is not
so accessible, that you can literally be sitting at your desk,
doing your work.
gaining knowledge. In some cases, it's a click away. Here you have in the books
of history,
amazing stories of how scholars used to go and travel long distances to go and acquire one ad. And now that is only one click away.
You can find it on Google.
You can find entire collection of books of honey on one CD.
Yet some of us
don't have the time. Brothers and sisters.
Ignorance
is not
does not have anything to do with with the amount of information you have.
But rather whether that information is beneficial or not. Whether that information is sufficient or not.
You see a day that passes by
without you acquiring knowledge. Without you learning something new. That's the deal of fingers.
If you start your day and you end your day with the same amount of knowledge with the same amount of understanding without acquiring anything new that's the deal cleaners.
Brothers and sisters
know that the obstacle in our way
to seek knowledge
is nothing
but our own illusions.
Our own illusions
when we give the excuse that we don't have time,
that excuse is not valid.
Because we have time for everything else.
And one of the most dangerous excuses is to say that I already know that information.
And that is a sign of arrogance and pride. asking lots of data to help you right rid ourselves of arrogance and pride. I see this mask a lot to make you listen to
listen to a
robot
I'm pleased to be here.
But the moment I believe it
will be will be dimensional

Southern California will begin police

in the developer
world before
us
alimony often the result of love it was me
if I was anyone else
today
if the promise of the law even said it was to pay services
and if you were to hear that a pop Solo
is about to repeat some of his statements I already find the books
when he was gonna go, maybe maybe everybody who wrote
what is the purpose
of acquiring information?
To verify, to give it lesson, what is the purpose?
Allah subhana wa tada
shows the companions to be with the province of the love, it was centered, and it was his world that we become the followers of the Prophet. So why do we send them without seeing him without getting that privilege?
Yet,
whatever they had access to, we have access to in terms of his knowledge of valuable sentiment, his wisdom.
And it's a matter of going and seeking it. One of the companions of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam told people, that the treasure, the treasure is
the stage of the process of his wealth is being distributed in the
right direction to the rest
of the province, a lot of money
to find nothing but circles of knowledge people sitting and studying, studying,
studying the center of the province.
So they came back to him and they said, we didn't find any treasures. We didn't find any money.
He said, the treasures of the prophet SAW what he said, what did you find, they said, when we found people sitting, sharing knowledge with each other, he said that is the treasure of a loved
one for the prophets did not need gold and silver. But rather he left something that is priceless. That is much more valuable than gold and silver.
And whosoever pursues a path leading to knowledge, even if it is
then that path is a path to paradise.
Knowledge and seeking knowledge is
never just for attitude.
The desire to know and understand
and rationalize never
knowledge is praised.
This is our faith
is a faith that motivates you and promotes knowledge.
In fact, your faith should be the result and the product of knowledge.
Never you will find and if anyone does this, then know that they have no knowledge. And it's not we don't discourage the followers of this
Deen. We don't discourage them from getting to know anything or from researching or from from finding out from their own memory.
Maybe some other faith might do that they might have something to hide or something that they don't want people to get exposed to. But in this time, we've got nothing to hide.
It is your responsibility to go and seek knowledge and verify the information that is being given to you.
And true economic says brothers and sisters, when one thinks that the level of knowledge that they have is sufficient
that they day you say I know enough, know that that's the day where you have just come to the realization of your ignorance and the day you will come to realize that you're ignorant and that you need more knowledge, know that that's the day that you have acquired knowledge. So simple as that.
to condemn those who were so happy and excited of the amount of knowledge that they had,
as sort of 40 verse
83
a loss of habitat or 85, Allah Subhana Allah says,
condemned to live.
They rejected the messenger from the prophet and they were so satisfied and they were so excited and happy with the little knowledge that they have. They said we know better we know enough.
That is ignorance.
That's why the scholars of money
will acquire knowledge until their death whenever
Never stop.
There was not a point where one of them said, You know what, I know nothing. Now I have all these students that said, I'm the source of knowledge.
And you will not be a true scholar until you learn from those who are below you, and those who are poking
until you seek knowledge from those who are below you in terms of their status, or age, or even level of education, as you seek knowledge from those who are going. And this is exactly what the scholars have stated, that not becomes a true scholar, until he takes from his teachers like he takes from his students, and he takes on students like he learned from his teachers.
We have no excuse in this area.
We have so many organizations, so many programs, so many activities, and this lesson in the rest of the Messiah in this area.
This is the home of some of the most active organizations.
And this is the place where many national organizations come to provide their services, those organizations are those institutions that provide or facilitate knowledge.
Hardly a week passes
without some kind of educational program somewhere.
I've heard of people and I've seen people drive from Northern California to go and attend, to come and attend some of those events that we have here. I had people fly from Phoenix, Arizona to come and attend programs that we have here. In fact, I have two sisters that flew all the way from New York to come and attend a double weekend seminar not too long ago here.
On the other hand, with my scars, people with great credentials.
And we bring some of the local speakers to speak on an issue as important as the sciences of the town.
And they do have an orange county where we have between here and LA is or so cow, we have over 500,000 Muslims, we get 5050 sign up for the class.
So
that they show excitement, and concern
to seek knowledge, no matter where it is,
no matter who offers it. That's the day our state of affairs is an old mobile changing.
We are wise living
mobile Institute you have
I see you I see IOC and you have all these organizations.
Hardly a week passes without.
So it is your responsibility. As I mentioned, a way our path to success is through knowledge through the gates of knowledge through the highways of knowledge. And it is our responsibility to have for ourselves some kind of program,
developing your own program, whatever fits your schedule, but you should have some kind of program.
You should not let a day pass by without you acquiring something, especially now. Especially that we are the ones that represent the province of a lot of money and represent Islam on this
on this part of the world.
And we get asked question, we get approached by people some of the basic information about Islam. We don't know. And we wonder sometimes when someone asks a question, and we get puzzled when we cannot answer why do we even get threatened? Or sometimes some people might even have their faith shaken.
There is not a question except that Islamic Allah solution has it has an answer to there is not a problem except that it's that it has a solution.
I
know some of you may know it, and others may be ignorant of it.
So find that. Find out more about those programs.
Utilize the technology
and search for yourself a program
program that you follow
and seeking knowledge
and understanding the reality of your faith as well as the world in which you live.
Know that knowledge will empower you, knowledge will make you more effective knowledge is a way to success

For the project, did not need gold and silver. But rather he loves something that is priceless. That is much more valuable than gold and silver. Knowledge.
And whosoever pursues a path leading to knowledge, even if it is heavy,

Knowledge and seek knowledge is phase two.

Maybe some other fake news that they might have something to hide or something that they don't want people to get exposed to. But in this time, we've got nothing to hide.
It is your responsibility to go and seek knowledge and verify the information that is being given to you.
And true economics. Brothers and sisters, when one thinks that the level of knowledge that they have is sufficient
that they you say I know enough to know that that's the day where you have just come to the realization of your ignorance and the day you will come to realize that you're ignorant and that you need more knowledge to know that that's the day that you have acquired knowledge.

documentary, they rejected the messengers of the Prophet and they were so satisfied. They were so excited and happy with the little knowledge that they have. They said we know better we know enough.
That is ignorance.
That's why the scholars of study
would acquire knowledge until their death will never stop.
There was not a point where one of them said
You know what I know now I have all these students that say, I'm the source of knowledge.
And you will not be a true scholar until you learn from those who are below you, and those who are poking

There is not a question except that Islam has a solution. It has it has an answer to there is not a problem except that it's that it has a solution.
