00:00:07 --> 00:00:12

masjid a Dawa center. Establishing a masjid to convey the message of

00:00:12 --> 00:00:17

Islam is one of the best deeds a Muslim can do. There's a huge need

00:00:17 --> 00:00:21

for an annoying Do you know this and I know this, so that makes

00:00:21 --> 00:00:26

even greater, so give generously and Allah azza wa jal give you

00:00:26 --> 00:00:26

even more

00:00:33 --> 00:00:37

Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakatu. How you guys doing

00:00:37 --> 00:00:40

before I start this video and ask Zhi Shan some very pertinent

00:00:40 --> 00:00:43

questions that we hear in the west and everyone else in the world

00:00:43 --> 00:00:47

need to know about visa vie, the Bangladesh situation, what's

00:00:47 --> 00:00:49

happening in English with the students, I want to first

00:00:49 --> 00:00:52

congratulate my good brother, zhi Shan for his reaching 1 million

00:00:52 --> 00:00:55

subscribers, he definitely deserves it. He's been putting

00:00:56 --> 00:00:59

a lot of effort into his work. In the last year, I'll work as well,

00:00:59 --> 00:01:03

you've helped us and free of charge, you've done it without

00:01:03 --> 00:01:06

any, you haven't, haven't asked for a penny and I want to I want

00:01:06 --> 00:01:09

to thank you in front of the people for that. But they saw a

00:01:09 --> 00:01:12

job, you know, as Muslim brothers as people in the dollar scene.

00:01:12 --> 00:01:16

This is an exemplification of our tradition, this is this is what we

00:01:16 --> 00:01:19

do for the Patreon. I mean, I think that people will be able to

00:01:19 --> 00:01:23

find that somehow, if you help his patron you're helping, not just

00:01:23 --> 00:01:26

him, but you're helping me ally him everyone, because he's the

00:01:26 --> 00:01:28

studio we're using it free of charge. We're not he's not, you

00:01:28 --> 00:01:32

know, and the editing and the graphics. And yeah, let's go to

00:01:32 --> 00:01:33

the Bangladesh issue.

00:01:34 --> 00:01:39

Okay, so, on this point, bro, you've got your own news company

00:01:39 --> 00:01:43

now, which is? Yeah, J news.com. Yeah, you're delivering news free

00:01:43 --> 00:01:49

of charge to the public. And it's been doing very well. And you have

00:01:49 --> 00:01:52

like editors, and researchers and stuff like that. You've done the

00:01:52 --> 00:01:56

research on this lesson. Just basic stuff here. But people are

00:01:56 --> 00:01:56

just

00:01:57 --> 00:02:00

that bit confused. I think what's going on in Bangladesh?

00:02:02 --> 00:02:06

Quite simply, if I was to break it down, yeah. Yeah. You've got

00:02:07 --> 00:02:12

government jobs. Sure. These are very prestigious. They have parks.

00:02:12 --> 00:02:16

And this is what people go for. Yeah. But what the government has

00:02:16 --> 00:02:22

done is it's assigned quotas, and assigned it to certain people of

00:02:22 --> 00:02:27

society could be, you know, X relatives of ex soldiers and other

00:02:27 --> 00:02:31

groups. And that's actually cut the pie for everybody else who are

00:02:31 --> 00:02:35

making the argument that these are very important and integral jobs.

00:02:35 --> 00:02:40

Okay, at a time of economic protests. Yeah. At the time of

00:02:40 --> 00:02:45

economic drought. We want you guys to make it merit based. Okay.

00:02:45 --> 00:02:49

Yeah, let us also have a chance of getting those jobs, because we

00:02:49 --> 00:02:52

also have mouths to feed and these protests happening throughout like

00:02:52 --> 00:02:57

Bangladesh, these these protests actually initially started off

00:02:58 --> 00:03:02

small, they started off with students, unarmed students, yeah,

00:03:02 --> 00:03:06

but the government started getting heavy handed, really, and heavy

00:03:06 --> 00:03:10

handed to such a degree that the death toll has increased so much

00:03:10 --> 00:03:14

that the official figures 150 have been killed.

00:03:16 --> 00:03:21

But the media is saying 200, my God, well, this is actually very,

00:03:21 --> 00:03:25

very concerning. Because if there's someone you don't want to

00:03:25 --> 00:03:30

upset, as a government of the country, it's the students of the

00:03:30 --> 00:03:33

universities, because these guys are not only going to be the next

00:03:33 --> 00:03:37

generation and help out the country in the most important way.

00:03:37 --> 00:03:41

But they are going to be the most influential people, actually. So

00:03:41 --> 00:03:45

what you're doing is you're creating resentment. Okay. In the

00:03:45 --> 00:03:48

subsection of society, which you need to take care of the most. It

00:03:48 --> 00:03:51

makes absolutely no sense whoever is advising the government. It's

00:03:51 --> 00:03:55

not just unethical, what they're doing, and haram and all of those

00:03:55 --> 00:04:00

things. Yes. But it's also it's not even expedient. It's not even

00:04:00 --> 00:04:04

pragmatic. It's not even tactful it's not even strategic. So it's

00:04:04 --> 00:04:08

it's shocking what's happening. And there needs to be more. Let me

00:04:08 --> 00:04:10

tell you what actually makes it more shocking. The fact is that

00:04:10 --> 00:04:14

not only has there been security forces that have been targeting

00:04:14 --> 00:04:18

students, remember initially they were on armed? Yeah, the students

00:04:18 --> 00:04:22

for God's sake on what they're gonna have your sticks and stones,

00:04:23 --> 00:04:26

and then now even the army compasses and rulers and

00:04:26 --> 00:04:29

calculators. Yeah. And now even the army is getting involved as

00:04:29 --> 00:04:36

well using helicopters using tear gas to such a degree that LA time

00:04:36 --> 00:04:40

said that they have been given. Well, there's a curfew now. And

00:04:40 --> 00:04:46

the the police or the army have been given shoot on site order,

00:04:46 --> 00:04:51

really, to such a degree that the BBC both have have said that the

00:04:51 --> 00:04:54

hospitals there have been inundated because I've just given

00:04:54 --> 00:04:58

you 150 to 200 that have been killed. There have been many These

00:04:58 --> 00:04:59

are live rounds. The

00:05:00 --> 00:05:03

These are even some say no, they are rubber bullets or this or

00:05:03 --> 00:05:08

that, but they are injured people with gunshot wounds that are

00:05:08 --> 00:05:14

inundating hospitals. And they it's just too much. I mean, it's

00:05:14 --> 00:05:17

it's it's actually sickening and disturbing to know that this is

00:05:17 --> 00:05:19

happening to our brothers and sisters in Bangladesh and

00:05:20 --> 00:05:22

definitely our prayers are with them. How can we help the

00:05:22 --> 00:05:23

situation?

00:05:24 --> 00:05:29

Well, even before we even look at how we can help them, bro, it's

00:05:29 --> 00:05:33

wood. And is there any chance of the government curtailing and

00:05:33 --> 00:05:37

stopping at the moment? And the answer is very pessimistic rather

00:05:37 --> 00:05:41

than and even the neighbor of Bangladesh, India, they've said

00:05:41 --> 00:05:44

this was on DW news. They're saying yes, with this as an

00:05:44 --> 00:05:47

internal Bangladeshi matter. We don't want to get involved. They

00:05:47 --> 00:05:50

don't want to get involved because they feel that the current leader

00:05:50 --> 00:05:54

Hasina, who's been, you know, voted in for a fourth time, even

00:05:54 --> 00:05:58

though the opposition party were boycotting, you know, her current

00:05:58 --> 00:06:04

entrance. And the thing is, India sees Bangladesh as a buffer

00:06:04 --> 00:06:09

between itself and China and it doesn't see it being easily

00:06:09 --> 00:06:13

accessible to China. So, India is taking very strategic moves, and

00:06:14 --> 00:06:17

which is very unsurprising because of the Indian BJP government,

00:06:17 --> 00:06:20

which are oppressing its minorities as well. So hey, India

00:06:20 --> 00:06:23

seems like it's at home. Of course, India is not going to be

00:06:23 --> 00:06:26

involved because Bangladesh isn't involved in the issues. So when

00:06:26 --> 00:06:31

you're seeing an even over here as well, Castorama What did he say?

00:06:31 --> 00:06:35

Oh, yeah, Bangladesh is this was before he got voted in. Yeah, so

00:06:35 --> 00:06:38

it's not really looking good. And that's why we're seeing our

00:06:38 --> 00:06:41

comments section in undated with our Bangladeshi brothers and

00:06:41 --> 00:06:47

sisters, because they are trying to raise some sort of voice on the

00:06:47 --> 00:06:52

grassroots level, just so at least they will see because there is

00:06:52 --> 00:06:56

again, the internet gets cut off as well. There's limiting of

00:06:56 --> 00:06:59

websites and Facebook was down, even WhatsApp was down. So they're

00:06:59 --> 00:07:04

limiting the sort of information that will reach us here. And this

00:07:04 --> 00:07:08

again, we had to research and really look into it and spend our

00:07:08 --> 00:07:12

time finding out what's going on. Information is not widely

00:07:12 --> 00:07:17

accessible, and videos because the government is clamping down. So

00:07:17 --> 00:07:20

yeah, it's not it's not looking good. May Allah make it easy for

00:07:20 --> 00:07:23

our brothers and sisters? I guess you're saying what can we do for

00:07:23 --> 00:07:28

them? Just speak out. Anytime something happens post about it,

00:07:28 --> 00:07:32

talk about it. At the very least, if we do have, you know, access to

00:07:32 --> 00:07:37

the councillors and MPs, we should get them to obviously raise these

00:07:37 --> 00:07:40

sorts of things in Parliament as well as much as can be done if

00:07:40 --> 00:07:41

there are any

00:07:42 --> 00:07:47

protests taking place here because protests on illegal overhead, then

00:07:47 --> 00:07:51

definitely do them. But of course do it peacefully. We don't want to

00:07:51 --> 00:07:58

ruin the, the the genuine cause of the Bangladeshis, students

00:07:58 --> 00:08:02

frankly, their students. Yeah. So whether you're, whether you're

00:08:02 --> 00:08:05

Indian, whether you're Arab, whether you're black, white,

00:08:05 --> 00:08:08

green, blue, whoever it is, this is not a matter of yeah, this is a

00:08:08 --> 00:08:12

Bangladeshi issue. This is a this is a matter of a human issue. And

00:08:12 --> 00:08:16

we pray for our brothers and sisters in in Bangladesh as we do

00:08:16 --> 00:08:19

for brothers in Sudan and Palestine everywhere else was

00:08:19 --> 00:08:22

Santa Monica masala catch. Your brothers and sisters in Islam net

00:08:22 --> 00:08:28

from Norway are establishing a masjid a Dawa Center. This center

00:08:28 --> 00:08:32

this Masjid this educational institution will act like a beacon

00:08:32 --> 00:08:36

of light calling the Muslims in Norway back to the essence of

00:08:36 --> 00:08:41

Islam. So give generously and Allah azza wa jal give you even

00:08:41 --> 00:08:41

more
