Have you are you wasting your time on social media again? Your
brothers and sisters in Islam net from Norway are establishing a
masjid a Dawa center. Establishing a masjid to convey the message of
Islam is one of the best deeds a Muslim can do. There's a huge need
for an annoying Do you know this and I know this, so that makes
even greater, so give generously and Allah azza wa jal give you
even more
Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakatu. How you guys doing
before I start this video and ask Zhi Shan some very pertinent
questions that we hear in the west and everyone else in the world
need to know about visa vie, the Bangladesh situation, what's
happening in English with the students, I want to first
congratulate my good brother, zhi Shan for his reaching 1 million
subscribers, he definitely deserves it. He's been putting
a lot of effort into his work. In the last year, I'll work as well,
you've helped us and free of charge, you've done it without
any, you haven't, haven't asked for a penny and I want to I want
to thank you in front of the people for that. But they saw a
job, you know, as Muslim brothers as people in the dollar scene.
This is an exemplification of our tradition, this is this is what we
do for the Patreon. I mean, I think that people will be able to
find that somehow, if you help his patron you're helping, not just
him, but you're helping me ally him everyone, because he's the
studio we're using it free of charge. We're not he's not, you
know, and the editing and the graphics. And yeah, let's go to
the Bangladesh issue.
Okay, so, on this point, bro, you've got your own news company
now, which is? Yeah, J news.com. Yeah, you're delivering news free
of charge to the public. And it's been doing very well. And you have
like editors, and researchers and stuff like that. You've done the
research on this lesson. Just basic stuff here. But people are
just
that bit confused. I think what's going on in Bangladesh?
Quite simply, if I was to break it down, yeah. Yeah. You've got
government jobs. Sure. These are very prestigious. They have parks.
And this is what people go for. Yeah. But what the government has
done is it's assigned quotas, and assigned it to certain people of
society could be, you know, X relatives of ex soldiers and other
groups. And that's actually cut the pie for everybody else who are
making the argument that these are very important and integral jobs.
Okay, at a time of economic protests. Yeah. At the time of
economic drought. We want you guys to make it merit based. Okay.
Yeah, let us also have a chance of getting those jobs, because we
also have mouths to feed and these protests happening throughout like
Bangladesh, these these protests actually initially started off
small, they started off with students, unarmed students, yeah,
but the government started getting heavy handed, really, and heavy
handed to such a degree that the death toll has increased so much
that the official figures 150 have been killed.
But the media is saying 200, my God, well, this is actually very,
very concerning. Because if there's someone you don't want to
upset, as a government of the country, it's the students of the
universities, because these guys are not only going to be the next
generation and help out the country in the most important way.
But they are going to be the most influential people, actually. So
what you're doing is you're creating resentment. Okay. In the
subsection of society, which you need to take care of the most. It
makes absolutely no sense whoever is advising the government. It's
not just unethical, what they're doing, and haram and all of those
things. Yes. But it's also it's not even expedient. It's not even
pragmatic. It's not even tactful it's not even strategic. So it's
it's shocking what's happening. And there needs to be more. Let me
tell you what actually makes it more shocking. The fact is that
not only has there been security forces that have been targeting
students, remember initially they were on armed? Yeah, the students
for God's sake on what they're gonna have your sticks and stones,
and then now even the army compasses and rulers and
calculators. Yeah. And now even the army is getting involved as
well using helicopters using tear gas to such a degree that LA time
said that they have been given. Well, there's a curfew now. And
the the police or the army have been given shoot on site order,
really, to such a degree that the BBC both have have said that the
hospitals there have been inundated because I've just given
you 150 to 200 that have been killed. There have been many These
are live rounds. The
These are even some say no, they are rubber bullets or this or
that, but they are injured people with gunshot wounds that are
inundating hospitals. And they it's just too much. I mean, it's
it's it's actually sickening and disturbing to know that this is
happening to our brothers and sisters in Bangladesh and
definitely our prayers are with them. How can we help the
situation?
Well, even before we even look at how we can help them, bro, it's
wood. And is there any chance of the government curtailing and
stopping at the moment? And the answer is very pessimistic rather
than and even the neighbor of Bangladesh, India, they've said
this was on DW news. They're saying yes, with this as an
internal Bangladeshi matter. We don't want to get involved. They
don't want to get involved because they feel that the current leader
Hasina, who's been, you know, voted in for a fourth time, even
though the opposition party were boycotting, you know, her current
entrance. And the thing is, India sees Bangladesh as a buffer
between itself and China and it doesn't see it being easily
accessible to China. So, India is taking very strategic moves, and
which is very unsurprising because of the Indian BJP government,
which are oppressing its minorities as well. So hey, India
seems like it's at home. Of course, India is not going to be
involved because Bangladesh isn't involved in the issues. So when
you're seeing an even over here as well, Castorama What did he say?
Oh, yeah, Bangladesh is this was before he got voted in. Yeah, so
it's not really looking good. And that's why we're seeing our
comments section in undated with our Bangladeshi brothers and
sisters, because they are trying to raise some sort of voice on the
grassroots level, just so at least they will see because there is
again, the internet gets cut off as well. There's limiting of
websites and Facebook was down, even WhatsApp was down. So they're
limiting the sort of information that will reach us here. And this
again, we had to research and really look into it and spend our
time finding out what's going on. Information is not widely
accessible, and videos because the government is clamping down. So
yeah, it's not it's not looking good. May Allah make it easy for
our brothers and sisters? I guess you're saying what can we do for
them? Just speak out. Anytime something happens post about it,
talk about it. At the very least, if we do have, you know, access to
the councillors and MPs, we should get them to obviously raise these
sorts of things in Parliament as well as much as can be done if
there are any
protests taking place here because protests on illegal overhead, then
definitely do them. But of course do it peacefully. We don't want to
ruin the, the the genuine cause of the Bangladeshis, students
frankly, their students. Yeah. So whether you're, whether you're
Indian, whether you're Arab, whether you're black, white,
green, blue, whoever it is, this is not a matter of yeah, this is a
Bangladeshi issue. This is a this is a matter of a human issue. And
we pray for our brothers and sisters in in Bangladesh as we do
for brothers in Sudan and Palestine everywhere else was
Santa Monica masala catch. Your brothers and sisters in Islam net

this Masjid this educational institution will act like a beacon
of light calling the Muslims in Norway back to the essence of
Islam. So give generously and Allah azza wa jal give you even
more
