from Norway are establishing a
		
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
