00:00:43 --> 00:01:05
			Mr. Lohana Heyman hamdulillah he'll be on I mean was there was someone else also to hear Muhammad wa
ala alihi wa sahbihi as mine was some of the same on the kitchen I'm gonna throw my boss Ohana climb
Anna Ilana Ilana in nickel anti hacking rubbish. Okay, so anyway silly MD, one of them this only if
the holy. So we're talking about the LIFO book are you allowed to run and last week we talked about
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:10
			or last week the week before last week we talked about the bay
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:54
			matter that took place between overthrow the Ultron and it will do a lot and on and today we're
talking about today and next week inshallah we're talking about few fitness that took place during
the time of overthrow Yalta and which are referred to in the books of history as the the Ryda wars,
or they read the battles. And, for example, there was one fitna that took place for you know, when
people they were denying zakat, another fitna that took place was that there were some people who
claim to be prophets. So inshallah today we'll be talking about those who had denied or rejected the
concept of zakat. And then inshallah next week, we will be talking about those who claim to be
		
00:01:54 --> 00:02:40
			prophets, and how over the allotted iron in the Muslims, they were able to stop them, and they were
defeated. So let's talk about the wars first. The word Ryda. It means apostasy in the English
language. And it means that a person who leaves a fold of Islam, now many older man, they give their
own interpretation as to what is the definition of Ryda. And the the most, or the best definition
that I personally found was the definition given by Imam Nobita Hamid Allahu La. And I want to read
his definition word for word for you. Because I think he really in a very unique way, he covers the
entire concept of what does it mean a person to come or to go out of the fold of Islam? He says, and
		
00:02:40 --> 00:03:28
			I quote, it is to cut oneself from Islam either by intention, by action, or by a word of disbelief,
regardless of whether one enters that word, believing in it, out of a sense of stubbornness, or for
the purpose of mocking Islam or the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam or the Muslims. A person has
disbelieved If he rejects the Creator, or the messengers, or disbelieves in a messenger or he makes
something Halal which Allah subhanaw taala has made haram or the complete opposite he has made
something haram which Allah Subhana Allah has made halal. And if he rejects through Iijima, what is
compulsory in the religion, or something that is not in religion and he makes that compulsory? And
		
00:03:28 --> 00:04:16
			he does that with firm intention of disbelief? The Imam No, we don't have to lie it says that this
person has kind of He has gone out of the fold of Islam. So the question is that were these were
there people at the time? Oh Buckroe, Viola Denine. Who did? Who did perform on this who did perform
read that or as we today refer to these people as more times, you know, we say this You use this
word mortar as a person who has left the fold of them. Now, does the Quran say anything about for
someone who turns away from Deen? And the answer is yes, there is an ayah in the Quran, Allah
subhanho wa taala. He says, what a third do Allah at Abadi calm that do not turn your back in
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:59
			flight, meaning that this was a time when the Muslims were in the battle. And at that time, Allah
subhanaw says Do not turn your backs. So when you turn your back as if you're leaving something, if
I turn my back and I leave, I'm leaving something. This is why the word empty that has been used in
the Quran. There is a Hadith of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, there are more ayat but I
want to get into that right now. There's a hadith of Ursula so Allahu Allah He was selling them were
in he refers to the people who came after this was all along it was salam. And these are people who
completely neglected everything that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam taught, or he still
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:48
			Word for and so these people is mentioned that the Prophet SAW Allah has some says the time will
come on the day of judgment. And he says that yeah Robbie as hobby yeah Robbie as hobby for your
Kulu in Nicola Ilma lega Bhima baka baka in the home irritate duala at Abadi hem, Alka para the
Prophet sallahu wa salam says that on the Day of Judgment when I will be giving water with my own
blessing hands from the basin from the from the well from the blessing Well, I will be giving water
to all my followers, but what will happen at that time is that the angels they will come and they
will drag people out of that line. So you have a line of Muslims or a line of people who are
		
00:05:48 --> 00:06:29
			considered as the OMA of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. And as we all know that we talk
about in our deen we talked about receiving the intercession of Roswaal. So Allah who is on the day
of judgment, and how we will respond to intercede on our behalf. So the Muslims will be standing in
the single file line waiting to be given water or to be served water from the hazardous wa sallahu
wa sallam, and peep and the angels will come and they will pull these people out of the line. Now
out of love, that was wa sallahu alayhi wa sallam has in his heart for all of us. He will say yeah,
Robbie us hobby, he will say Oh Allah, these are my US hub. These are my people. Why are they being
		
00:06:29 --> 00:07:14
			dragged, dragged away? Or was he will say Allah subhanaw Say, Verily, You do not know what they did
after you passed away. They walking backwards, they were walking backwards, they turn their back on
their heels in flight, meaning that Allah subhanho will tell the province all along while you're
setting them that even though you may refer to them as your as hub, but after your departure, or
whether these people came after you, these are people who neglected your teachings. And so that's
why this is not a hadith. Even though this hadith has the word tattoo, it may have a tattoo, but
this is not in reference to those people who have completely left the dean and who are the fold of
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:57
			Islam. These are even referring to those people whose claimed to be Muslims, but they have
completely neglected the life of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam. Now the question is that why
did people turn away from Islam after the death of Rasulullah sallallahu wasallam. Number one is the
death of Rasulullah sallallahu. It was salam in itself was a cause of people turning away from Deen
if you remember that people believe that Muhammad Sallallahu wasallam has passed away. And so now
Islam is no longer there. And that is why ALLAH SubhanA wa says says this in the Quran. And this is
why o book or the Allah Allah Allah He referred to this by saying, Well, man, Muhammad, Allah
		
00:07:57 --> 00:08:34
			Rasool, Allah, Muhammad Sallallahu wasallam is only a messenger. And we have to always remember that
who we worship is not Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam who we worship is Allah subhanho wa Taala
and who we follow is Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. So that's why it's very, very important.
And, you know, having said this, when you're looking or reflecting on the actions of these people,
there's something that we see in our society today. If you know I've seen this happening maintains
and you may have seen this or may not imagine there I've seen this happening where a person is
following a certain scholar,
		
00:08:35 --> 00:09:18
			a person is following a certain scholar. And for some reason, that scholar has a weakness and it
might be a weakness in some area, what happens is that his weakness is exposed, His weakness is
exposed. The people following that person says, You know what, if I was following this scholar, and
his weakness has has been exposed and he has been involved with many things are wrong. I am no
longer going to I'm no longer going to follow Islam anymore. I'm no longer going to pray sod
anymore. Because if he was standing up if he was representing this, and this is what he turned out
to be, than I don't want anything like this. And what we have to realize is that we're not told
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:59
			we're not told to obey the scholars or we're not told that you are you worship them. What we are
told is that that they are people who remind you of Allah subhanho wa Taala but everyone has a
weakness. And if you come across that weakness, you are not to say that I'm not going to follow
Islam anymore. Why? Because you follow Islam for the sake of Allah subhanho wa Taala so any any one
of us who has this concept, we are no we are no different than the people who existed and they said
that Mohamed Salah ism has passed away and so therefore Islam is no longer there. This is one of the
first reasons why people they left the fold of Islam. Some people they turned away
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:47
			because of their lack of lack of strong faith, some people they left Islam because they were they
still admired the pre Islamic traditions. Some people left the fold of Islam after Desert Rose wa
sallahu alayhi wasallam due to tribal loyalties. And some people left the fold of Islam, because
they these were people who were ambitious. They were hungry for power, and as soon as possible. So
Allahu alayhi wa sallam, he departed from this world, they sense that there was a vacuum and power.
And so this was the perfect opportunity to seize control of Arabia. And that's why some people they
turned away from Islam, and in only in the hopes of using their power to gain control of Arabia.
		
00:10:48 --> 00:11:31
			Now, how would they what is why the people will turn away from Islam? But the next question is that,
what did they do that they turned away from Islam? What happened? Some people, they completely just
rejected Islam altogether. There were some people who denied salaat, who began to deny a lot. There
are some people who began to deny zakat. And not only that, but then you had some people who began
to say that they began to claim that they were prophets now that we have talked about this in one of
our halacha as much in the past. But the problem is so long while you some indicated that there'll
be many people who would come in the future, who would claim to be prophets. Now during the time of
		
00:11:31 --> 00:12:13
			obika, the Allah Denine there was not only just one we generally know that there was only one will
say the Magna Carta, but there was many others who existed during the time of overthrow the allotted
time. And and Obasanjo allotted and he was able to, he was able to defeat all these people who wish
they would defeat these people and get rid of this fitna, but nonetheless, this fitna continues
still today. Even today, we have people who claim to be Muslims, but they don't believe in the final
prophethood of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, they say that there was a man that came from
India. And this is a man who who claimed to be the final prophet. And although these are people who
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:57
			claim to be Muslims, they say that, that we do not we do not deny the prophethood of Muhammad
sallallahu alayhi wasallam but we only say that Muhammad Sallallahu wasallam was not the final
profit and these are the remedies and the power, the unease that exists today. Now, did this did
this start did this these fitness start? After the time of Rasulullah sallallahu? It was set them or
did these fitness start during the time Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam? The answer is that
in reality these fitness did occur or they did they did start at the very end of the life of
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam, and many Dolma or the historians, they say that it started in
		
00:12:57 --> 00:13:45
			the ninth year after hijra, but it was it was the this concept of false prophets or people denying
the God started. And it was only amongst very, very few people. But during the time when this was a
long way to send them even into the 10th year after hijra, the group of people this group of people
begin to grow. But they were still considered as a very minor group. And so that's why we don't find
that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he did address this, but we do find Roswaal so Allah
while he was addressing the two people, there was one person by the name of a sweat, NC. He was from
Yemen, who claimed to be a prophet and you hadn't was saved by even a cadaver. And these were the
		
00:13:45 --> 00:14:31
			two more powerful ones. There were some others but there were not so much influential, as much as
these two words. And there is a very beautiful hadith of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that
even at the end of his life, he did refer that there will be two people who would come in they will
claim to be prophets. I want to read the Hadith for you and then translate it. He says, Yeah, you
have nothing in the other or a to lay that delicado for my own see to her, what are a to feed virar
I see what see what rain mean, there have been fuckery to Huma. Fina fall to her for Tara Farah, for
a while to Huma al Qaeda been Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia, Yemen was so horrible Yamama Subhan Allah
		
00:14:31 --> 00:15:00
			rasool Allah, Allahu Allah, he was sending him look at this hadith and he says, oh people I was
shown the night of Layton Okada. But I was then made to forget about it, forget it, meaning exactly
what night they that occurs. Now many of us we know this part of the Hadith, but we don't know the
other part of this hadith and the other part of the hadith is and I was shown two golden bracelets
on my arms or on my hands, disliking them, I blew on them and
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:43
			They flew away. I interpret I interpretated those bracelets to mean that there'll be two layers to
cover that will come. And he says one of them is from Yemen, and Subhanallah us for the NC was from
Yemen. And he said that the other one will be from Yamama. And musetti, by evening Cadet was
actually from Yamama. And there was a battle that took place, even during the time of Accra, Yolanda
and the Battle of Yamama, in which many of the profiles, many of those people who memorize Quran
they had lost their lives, we will talk about that some other time. But nonetheless, the Prophet SAW
Allah was something he referred to this, even during his lifetime. And there is a very interesting
		
00:15:44 --> 00:16:29
			interpretation given by a scholar by the name of Dr. Ali tomb, he says that the braces that flew
away simply by an action of blowing proves that as great as a threat, that is, what an Elmo Saima
Messiah, they seem to pose. In reality, these were not these were not, they were not powers. These
are not people who possess a lot of powers, but these are people who possess a lot of weakness. And
then he says that these are people who are out for their own reputation, and to gain worldly riches.
And then he says, the same person, Dr. Ali, he says, that just like these two braces, were on the
wrist of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and they had surrounded the wrist of the Prophet
		
00:16:29 --> 00:17:18
			sallallahu sallam, he says, he interfaces by saying that these two fitness or these two people will
come and they will surround the Muslims, just like a bracelet surrounds the wrist. Nonetheless, this
was his own interpretation. Now obika Viola on he sees that this is a problem that is occurring. Now
two things. Number one is if what do we learn from Albuquerque, Allah Don and his leadership, we
learned that when there is a problem when there is a problem in your society obika The Ultron he
says, a young Cassadine what a high, he says that the Prophet sallallahu or your son left this OMA
at a certain level. And during my time, this level is dropping, like the level of this OMA is is
		
00:17:18 --> 00:18:01
			dropping. He says that this cannot happen during my time. Because overgrowth, you're allowed to die.
And internally, he's thinking to himself, that as him being a leader and Islam is now on a downfall.
He's basically putting the blame on himself and he's thinking to himself, that how can I face Allah
subhanho wa Taala on the Day of Judgment, knowing that the Prophet Allah is on the left that if the
Ummah at this level, and when I departed from this, Omar Omar was at this level, and he says, That
cannot happen, that cannot happen. Number two is the question that many people will ask Is that why
did why was overgrowth on so concerned? Why was he so concerned about people not giving zakat like
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:46
			today in our times, we have people, people, people who say in their written articles about why there
are certain tenants of Islam that are considered as foreign and no longer they are firm. There I've
I've read articles today that say that hijab is not something that is considered as the the Islamic
attire of a woman, but rather it is more cultural based. I have read articles about this. And these
are research work that is done by certain doctors. And one thing that we see is that as trained
Muslims we try to go and we try to explain to these people right, we say that if a person denies
slavery we say that you read the Quran, you read the Hadith and salad is mandatory. If someone
		
00:18:46 --> 00:19:24
			tonight today denies zakat, we will go to them and we will tell them that look Zakat is from the
Quran is from the Sunnah of Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam you cannot deny it. There was you know not
only Allah Tala on he went to Oh baccarat Viola tonight and he says that Oh, Booker, why don't we
just not leave these people right now? Leave these people, people who are denying the call, we will
deal with them later on. Right now let's go and let's deal with this. These two people asked what
LLC and we'll say never even a cadaver. Let's go deal with them first. And Olga said that right now,
these people will come later on. We know that they do exist right now. They're not here. But the
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:59
			people that are surrounding us, or the people who live within us, or people who denies the cards and
they are denying salad. Now the question is that how does this hurt? If someone denies the cat, does
that really hurt anyone else? And the answer is yes. Because if you if you closely observe every
single fitna that has occurred in this dunya every single time that occurs, it's one person who
starts to fitna and that one person turns it into a small group. And that small group grows and
grows
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:44
			When a fitness starts and you don't smash the fitna at that time at the at the beginning or as at
its inception, then that fitna grows, that fit that grows. I look over your time understands that
right now this might be a very small group, there might be a very small group. But if I don't get
rid of this today, and I just believe it and I remain oblivious about it, they are going to gather
more people within this group. And eventually these people will try to take over Medina and if they
try to take over the leadership of Medina, then you're talking about people taking over Medina who
don't believe in salatu are don't who don't believe in Zakat, and they will change the face of Islam
		
00:20:44 --> 00:21:10
			and they will change the landscape of Islam for eternity. So obika Dawn realizes that in order in
order for this not to turn into a fitna, in the long run, it has to be addressed right now. And at
that time, overcrowded Yatra and he mentioned a hadith of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, a
hadith that many Islamophobes they literally have a field day with this hadith of Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wasallam
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:50
			the Hadith was was a Allahu alayhi wa salam says that I have been ordered to fight against the
people until they say that until the c'est la ilaha illa. Now, personally, I've done some research
on this and many Islamophobes they say that first of all, you will see many samples writing this
hadith on their blog on their website. And they will say that the Prophet Muhammad SAW some says
that I had been ordered to kill people until they say La Ilaha illa Allah. First of all, is that
that is not what risotto Allahu alayhi wa sallam said, the Prime Minister was not saying they had
been ordered to kill the people. He says I've been ordered to fight. Now the Olimar they interpret
		
00:21:50 --> 00:22:33
			this and they give many explanations, first of all, is that when you study the concept, when you
study this hadith, there's a certain context, the context was, there's certain people who were
bringing your fitness and the pagans, they were fighting against the or the Quraysh they were
fighting against Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, at that time, the Prophet sallallahu wasallam
he said this, this is not in the context where people are living in coal and living or or people are
coexisting people have mutual respect for one another. This hadith cannot be applied there, you're
inside. That's number one. Number two is when the Prophet says someone says fight. It does not
		
00:22:33 --> 00:23:16
			actually mean go and fighting with people. It means that there is a certain fitna that is occurring,
and it is my job to defeat that fitna and to overcome that fitna, that is exactly what I saw so long
while he was Saddam Hussein, there probably is some is not he's not advocating that we go and first
of all, we we forcefully convert people, or we take the lives of other people. Some other people
have said, talking about Ovako Viola and that why would Ubercart go and force these people to become
Muslims? If these are people and they said that lycra feeding, first of all, is that this ayah Allah
Accra, for Deen, it relates to those people who are not at all in the fold of Islam. The people that
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:55
			we are talking about today are in the fold of Islam. They believe in the Oneness of Allah. They
believe in Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and then these are people who say that there is
absolutely no zakat. Obatala is just going and he's trying to talk to these people, and he's trying
to overcome this particular fitna. He's not going anywhere and forcefully converting anyone. So
let's try to get this very, very clear, because even with this many people, they bring up this
objection. Finally, what happened was that these people who denied the car, they came to Medina.
They came to Medina, they met with Albuquerque, Oberon and overgrowth, Ana has sensed that these
		
00:23:55 --> 00:24:00
			people are not just here just to meet with us. They have an agenda and they have a big plan,
		
00:24:02 --> 00:24:39
			Elbert rota and many people again, they came to overgrow readathon and they said that let's wait to
see what happens. What Don said absolutely not. We will not wait we will arm ourselves and we will
prepare ourselves obika The Allah Tada. Now you have to remember the reason that people have zakat
came and they try to attack Medina for two reasons. Number one is that they felt like right, well,
first of all, is that they realize that Obergefell Donna will not budge because these people they
came to Medina, and they tried to convince I mean, can you imagine what was going through their
mind? They're trying to convince a worker that there is no second rather than said you You are
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:59
			simply out of your mind. There's no way I'm going to agree with you. When they did not do that. They
saw that if you remember I said this before, at the death of the saucer law while he was setting him
there was a huge expedition led by Osama even to say all these people were out of Medina there was a
big group of people who were not in Medina at that time. These people who denies the cause
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:39
			They felt like right now is the perfect opportunity to attack the Muslims and to attack these people
in Medina because right now they're missing a good chunk of people from their own community. So
right now is the perfect opportunity, however, overall are the a lot that I had prepared himself.
When these people they came. They came and said that after this delegation met with Alberto Nordea
waterline, after three days, they came to attack Medina, after three days, they came to attack
Medina, they came, they were shot obika Viola Tron was well prepared, and the muscles were able to
push them and push them away. And because the Muslims were prepared, they began to retreat, they
		
00:25:39 --> 00:26:22
			began to retreat. Later on, it said that over the Allah Allah himself went amongst these people. Now
in Medina, everyone told alberca, that it is not safe for you as the khalifa to go and meet with
these people, they can take your life over the altar and say said that I am going he took some
people with him. But he went there to try to bring them again back to the true fold of Islam. And
he's and the books of history mentioned that when overcall, Radovan went, he was able to talk to
them, some and it said that there was some clashes, some Muslims didn't lose their lives, they on
their side, they also some loss of their lives. At the same time, there were a lot of people who
		
00:26:22 --> 00:27:02
			understood that what they were doing was wrong. And they came back into the fold of Islam and
overthrow the dawn he ordered them that everyone who came back into the true fold of Islam, he
ordered them that there is a God has to be given in the next two or three days. And the cinema and
the historian say that within three days, all the zecca had not been given all this God came to
Medina It was then given to overthrow the yo love that on. Nonetheless, there were still some people
who denied this ticket. And these were still a very they were very less than number. And these
people were just simply the best course of action at that time was to simply ignore these people.
		
00:27:02 --> 00:27:38
			And eventually these people, they they simply vanish after that. So that's why we don't find in
nowadays and Omarosa Allahu alayhi wa sallam why we are challenged with so many fitness and humbler
we don't have a fitna where people are outright denying zakat. Yes, we do have the problem that I
will say 90% of the Ummah right now is not giving the Zakat. And for those people who are in the
field of humanitarians are who are in the field of humanitarian relief, they will tell you, the
homeless that God is coming, and how much they are struggling to give the car to all the people.
		
00:27:40 --> 00:28:21
			One of I remember there was a scholar who said one time that if everyone gave the cat in the Muslim
world today, if everyone gave the cut, then today we will not have poverty within the Muslim world.
If everyone gave there's a cut, there are people who are well off, there are Muslim kings and rulers
and so forth and they have so much money, even today, even even people who are not even rulers or
kings, but there are many people, many Muslim individuals who are so blessed by Allah subhanaw taala
unfortunately, today, majority of the Muslim ummah is not giving there's a cut, And subhanAllah I
mean, you go to other places, when you go to some churches, the church there are many churches you
		
00:28:21 --> 00:29:01
			go and they will tell you that if you want to be part of our church, see our our budget system works
very differently. A Masjid works solely on support. You come to the masjid you give something you
don't give something you're welcome to the masjid. That's not how churches work. There are people
who may live here in Plano, but they might be going to sacks who are widely into a church, they
don't even go to the local church. Why? Because you have to belong to a certain church. And if you
want to go to a bigger church or you want to belong to a bigger congregation, then they would
generally they demand that you give 10% of your check on a monthly basis. Can you imagine that? 10%
		
00:29:02 --> 00:29:10
			That means that if a person is making $5,000 a month, they are demanding $500 a month on a monthly
or $5 on a monthly basis.
		
00:29:12 --> 00:29:51
			I mean, I'm I may be judgmental here by saying this. But if we as Muslims were told to do this
today, I don't think we will be able to do it. I'm sorry to say this but I think we are in that
position that we will not be able to do it. But these are people who say that yes, we will give our
deen says you have to give only once a year and only 2.5% 2.5% and yet majority of the Muslim ummah
has not they are they don't give their zakat at all. So it's really really sad of the situation that
we are living in nowadays. But obika The Allah on once again, a one last thing I'll share with all
of you and then we will wrap it up.
		
00:29:53 --> 00:30:00
			Overall when you look at obey the law to the island and his attitude towards the problems in his
society.

			It doesn't matter what problems we have in our society, as long as there are problems, every Muslim
has to understand that it becomes my responsibility to fight those problems. If a person says that
it's not my responsibility to fight those problems outside, or challenges that Muslims are facing,
then you have clearly misunderstood the Syrah of a sauce, Allahu alayhi wa sallam, and the life of
the Sahaba of the Ultron, whom you have clearly misunderstood. Because these are people if
Obergefell Dan was so worried about his own spirituality, then he would have just sat inside the
masjid and said, Allah, Allah worried about his own salad, slams the cat and Hutch and not worry
		
00:30:38 --> 00:31:18
			about anything else. But these are people who not only looked after, who looked after their own
spirituality, but they looked after the welfare of the Muslims too. And so that means that in our
times, today, we have different challenges. We are faced with different challenges. And it becomes
our responsibility that while we maintain our own spirituality, we have to fight these battles, and
we have to overcome these challenges. It becomes our responsibility. And the reason I mentioned this
is because, you know, believe it or not in our Muslim community, they are very weak. And for the
most part, we are not teaching our children to be engaged with the society. We're not. Did you know
		
00:31:18 --> 00:31:59
			that the other day there was a youngster who came to me and informed me that parents here in our own
community, parents are teaching their kids that getting involved with others is haram gets they're
teaching their kids as science is haram. I'm not making this up. I'm setting aside the Muslim
parents are teaching their kids that science is haram. Now, I understand that one aspect of science
is that you know, people, they negate God and so forth. I'm not talking about that. That's only one
aspect of science. But today, unfortunately, we have so many parents, who, first of all, they don't
engage into the community, they're not engaged with social activism, but they don't teach their kids
		
00:31:59 --> 00:32:33
			either. And not only then on top of that, they're teaching their kids these kind of ideologies. And
these kinds of concepts that science is haram and working with others is haram. And don't worry
about what's going on. Just worry about your iman, that's not what we're supposed to teach our kids.
That's not what we're supposed to teach our kids. Look, I will tell you a lot and I'm looking at ASA
long while he was sitting him, look at the other qualified Russian and we will go through their
life. If they saw a problem. They understood right away that it becomes my responsibility to fight
that problem. And that's the attitude that we all need to have. So I pray to Allah subhanaw taala He
		
00:32:33 --> 00:32:54
			gives us He gives us the understanding, and gives us the ability to learn from the qualified Russian
and may Allah Subhan give us ability to emulate these people and follow their footsteps just like
