The speaker discusses the worse crisis they have experienced in recent years, citing three levels of crisis: feelings of pride, desire for revenge, and fear of failure. They emphasize that individuals should not be punished for their actions, but rather be punished for their ability to speak out against criminals and their desire to prevent future generations from taking advantage of opportunities.

00:00:00 --> 00:00:02 
			Wallahi, what we have seen in the last
00:00:02 --> 00:00:04 
			few days is even worse
00:00:04 --> 00:00:06 
			than what we saw at the beginning of
00:00:06 --> 00:00:07 
			this crisis.
00:00:09 --> 00:00:10 
			And what is going on?
00:00:11 --> 00:00:11 
			Yes,
00:00:12 --> 00:00:13 
			martyrs will enter Jannah.
00:00:14 --> 00:00:16 
			Yes, martyrs have a very, very high rank.
00:00:16 --> 00:00:19 
			And yes, Allah has a quota of martyrs
00:00:19 --> 00:00:21 
			that he has to and will take every
00:00:21 --> 00:00:22 
			single year.
00:00:24 --> 00:00:26 
			But that does not mean we do not
00:00:26 --> 00:00:27 
			feel it.
00:00:27 --> 00:00:28 
			There are 3 levels
00:00:29 --> 00:00:31 
			that the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam speaks
00:00:31 --> 00:00:32 
			about. No 4th level.
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35 
			The first is you feel in your heart
00:00:35 --> 00:00:37 
			that what they are doing is wrong to
00:00:37 --> 00:00:40 
			our brothers and sisters. And you pray for
00:00:40 --> 00:00:42 
			them. And you care in the way that
00:00:42 --> 00:00:45 
			you your sleep is affected because
00:00:46 --> 00:00:47 
			that
00:00:47 --> 00:00:49 
			which they are doing to them, they could
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51 
			do it to you and I. And you
00:00:51 --> 00:00:54 
			know what? Given the opportunity they would. They
00:00:54 --> 00:00:54 
			would.
00:00:55 --> 00:00:56 
			Those are criminals man.
00:00:57 --> 00:00:58 
			They would.
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00 
			And at the same time, secondly,
00:01:01 --> 00:01:03 
			if Allah has given you the ability to
00:01:03 --> 00:01:06 
			talk about it, to conscientize about it, like
00:01:06 --> 00:01:08 
			what we are doing right now.
00:01:08 --> 00:01:09 
			You talk about
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11 
			it. Tell the others and tell those who
00:01:11 --> 00:01:12 
			are perpetrating
00:01:13 --> 00:01:15 
			the crime that you are wrong. What you
00:01:15 --> 00:01:16 
			are doing is wrong, unacceptable.
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19 
			You will be punished for it in this
00:01:19 --> 00:01:20 
			world and the next.
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22 
			And they might get away a little bit
00:01:22 --> 00:01:23 
			here. They will not get away in the
00:01:23 --> 00:01:24 
			court of Allah
00:01:26 --> 00:01:28 
			And the third, those in authority who have
00:01:28 --> 00:01:30 
			the ability and capacity,
00:01:30 --> 00:01:32 
			they should stop them with their hands.
