			Living harmony with those whom you disagree with. And Allah will bless you live in harmony with
those whom you disagree with, you may disagree with very strongly, no problem, but be respectful and
never, ever engage in anything that will disturb the peace and stability because the gift of a man
is actually very closely after the gift of E man.
		
00:00:26 --> 00:01:11
			first gift you have we said it's a man after that. It's your man. It's your safety. It's your
security. What is the beauty? Or what does a nation that has no security, but all the wealth in the
world? What do they have? I'd rather be in a nation that has a little bit less, but we are safe, we
love each other, we look at each other, you could belong to different faiths all together. Guess
what, there is a mutual respect. That's what it is. I disagree. You disagree. Let contino come when
the end what a powerful first, you have your faith and I have mine SubhanAllah. The same applies
among the Muslims themselves. Be careful of those who want to instill hatred in your heart. To the
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:21
			degree that you have an urge to be violent or physical that is detrimental to your very core and
existence. Be careful of that.

			We stand on the pulpit on this Friday to remind you my brothers, my sisters, the Dean of Allah, it
has a very powerful, beautiful presence that does not require you to be violent, hurtful, or
abusive. We are so confident of the truth that we have that we don't need to really worry about the
falsehood, it stands no chance be confident of it. I have a beautiful internal peace because I know
nothing can shake it work on DJI GO was heaven will in many bow to Isla kanessa who call when the
truth comes? What does it do to falsehood? automatically, automatically it obliterates it, people
will no.
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:57
			You see, there was one of the Messiah who was explaining to the young students that here there is a
crooked line, for example that someone has drawn, say on the blackboard, they drew a crooked line.
Now the people came and they were told how do you tell the public that this is crooked? Or how do
you straighten it? So each student came up with their own solution. I will do this I'll rub it off,
I will bend it, I will do this and that. And ultimately, the mentor taught them look when there is a
crooked line in front of you. Rather than wasting your time about declaring how crooked it is. Draw
a straight line next to it and keep it moving. Keep it moving. The whole world will pass by say
		
00:02:57 --> 00:03:09
			that's a crooked line. This is a straight line. What more do you want? What more do you want? You
are productive and constructive. Rather than destroy and create that which is negative May Allah
make it easy for us.
