But when it comes to other ways of
destroying
the countries, or should I say the climates
of the nations, and it's actually the globe,
We need to be careful.
We should be starting to think about moving
away from fossil fuel. And it's a fact.
Start to think about it so that at
least by the time the next generation comes
in, we would have done something about it.
It's part of our duty. We come to
the Masjid, myself included. I'm guilty. We drive
a vehicle. How many in the car? I'm
alone because we can afford the car. It's
no longer about affording the car. May Allah
forgive me and forgive all of us. Like
I said, I'm also guilty. I need to
do something about it as well. Are you
prepared to come 2 or 3? All of
you are going to the same place at
the same time, but you want to use
a different vehicle. Do you know the fumes
and the emissions and so on? You can
save.
We're gonna need to start riding bicycles at
some point. We used to in the past.
We had a small period of time when
we enjoyed cars. Now people will tell you,
start riding a bike again. Walk. Yesterday, we
were speaking to someone. They were saying, you
know what? I feel a bit unhealthy. I
said, walk to the Masjid 5 times a
day. See how you feel, Subhanallah.
And what does the Prophet say?
Give good news to the ones who walk
to the Masjid in the darkness of the
of the nights
of a complete Nur on the day of
judgment. Wow. May Allah grant us ease. I
know that reward will be achieved even if
you came with the vehicle.
But let's think about it.
I am mentioning it here today simply because
I'd like to generate a concern. I'm guilty
too. I won't lie to you. You know
it because we can do much more. But
let's start talking about it. Saving the ecosystem.
Don't just start a fire.
Think about it.
You're buying a vehicle instead of going for
a massive engine because you can afford it,
etc.
Calm down a little bit. May Allah grant
us ease. I know you're nodding your head.
You're probably saying, look at the vehicle you
drive before you talk to us. But I'm
talking to myself to begin with.
