Strength to be able to support one another,

00:00:03 --> 00:00:04

to be able to live in harmony and

00:00:04 --> 00:00:07

tolerance with people of other faiths, not just

00:00:07 --> 00:00:10

tolerance, but in fact to respect those who

00:00:10 --> 00:00:13

share or who do not share the same

00:00:13 --> 00:00:16

beliefs as yourself because they are human beings

00:00:16 --> 00:00:17

and to be able to contribute

00:00:17 --> 00:00:19

positively to this beautiful nation. I think at

00:00:19 --> 00:00:20

a time

00:00:20 --> 00:00:23

where on the globe many people are looking

00:00:23 --> 00:00:25

at the negative side of Islam.

00:00:26 --> 00:00:28

It's our duty. And many people have been

00:00:28 --> 00:00:31

saying, what are the Muslims doing in order

00:00:31 --> 00:00:31

to

00:00:31 --> 00:00:34

empower or in order to teach

00:00:34 --> 00:00:36

the rest of the Muslims the true teachings

00:00:36 --> 00:00:38

of Islam that are far from extremism and

00:00:38 --> 00:00:39

intolerance,

00:00:39 --> 00:00:41

far from terrorism and violence.

00:00:42 --> 00:00:44

And here I am saying, yes, we are

00:00:44 --> 00:00:46

doing a lot. And part of what we

00:00:46 --> 00:00:47

are doing is we are reaching out to

00:00:47 --> 00:00:50

people in various countries across the globe, including

00:00:50 --> 00:00:53

this lovely nation of Sierra Leone, in order

00:00:53 --> 00:00:55

to try and teach them the true teachings

00:00:55 --> 00:00:58

of Islam to say that we definitely stand

00:00:58 --> 00:01:01

for peace and coexistence, we stand for respect

00:01:01 --> 00:01:03

of one another, and we stand for the

00:01:03 --> 00:01:05

highest of divine values

00:01:05 --> 00:01:07

that have been instilled and taught and promoted

00:01:07 --> 00:01:09

by the messengers of the Almighty

00:01:09 --> 00:01:12

from the very beginning starting with Adam, may

00:01:12 --> 00:01:13

peace be upon him, going all the way

00:01:13 --> 00:01:15

down to the Prophet Moses, may peace be

00:01:15 --> 00:01:17

upon him, the Prophet Jesus, may peace be

00:01:17 --> 00:01:19

upon him, And Muhammad, may peace be upon

00:01:19 --> 00:01:21

him too and upon all of us.

00:01:21 --> 00:01:24

So indeed, it's a very powerful message and

00:01:24 --> 00:01:26

I think we must be from among those

00:01:26 --> 00:01:28

who champion this cause. And that's what brings

00:01:28 --> 00:01:29

me to this beautiful nation.
