The speakers discuss the challenges of speaking in front of Muslims, including corruption and the importance of learning the fruit of Islam. They stress the importance of not forgetting the past and finding a strong message to restore "ar lie" in modernity. The Western culture's actions have led to the loss of jobs and behavior, as well as the difficulty of bringing Islam inside the machine. The speakers emphasize the importance of thinking positively and not just focusing on immediate change, as it is crucial to bring change quickly.

my intention this evening is to share with you some reminders for myself and for all of you from the
Quran. And this has been a very difficult challenge for me to speak in front of you today, I first
want to share with you why this was a difficult challenge. Most of the time, when I speak to an
audience, I'm speaking in the United States, or I've spoken many times in Europe, or I've spoken
many times in places in the world where the Muslims are a minority. And when the Muslims are a
minority, their challenges are different. And what they see around them, the environment is
different. And when I come to a place like this, it's a completely different world for me. And it's
00:02:13 -->
00:02:54
actually very empowering for me to experience because I'm not used to seeing Muslims not as the as
the majority, I'm used to seeing us as the minority. And I'm used to seeing us not in a position of
authority or a position of power, but really mostly in a position of weakness. So when you turn the
equation and you look at the look at it from the other side, it's very difficult to first of all,
think, What is the message of Allah's book that and a community like this one needs, so I had to do
a lot of thinking about what message I want to share with you. And inshallah hotel is something that
benefits myself and benefits all of you because at the end of the day, the Book of Allah is for all
00:02:54 -->
00:03:08
times and all people and all situations. What I want to start with today, inshallah is a simple
thing, this V. And hopefully, I'll build this idea by the end, you'll see how all of it is
connected.
00:03:09 -->
00:03:14
When Eliza was created human beings, the angels had a problem.
00:03:15 -->
00:03:21
And their problem was that human beings when they will come on this earth, attach a new fee hammer
UFC two fee, how
00:03:25 -->
00:04:07
one who is going to cause a lot of trouble, he's going to do a lot of facade, a lot of corruption,
and he's going to even kill yesterday could demand he's going to spill blood. And Dima is not a
little bit of blood, it's a lot of blood, and Suffolk is used for rivers of blood. So not just a
little bit of killing, a lot of killing will happen in the world. This is the concern of the
melodica of the angels, and then they offer a solution. And the solution from the angels is when a
new new seven B will be handled handicap on the sulak. And we in fact, we do your tests be the
angels say we do your test we and we declare that you are unchoose we declare that you are
00:04:07 -->
00:04:09
sanctified, you are pure.
00:04:10 -->
00:04:17
So on the one hand, you have facade, and one hand you have killing, and on the other hand, you have
this V
00:04:19 -->
00:04:59
and you would never think these two things are opposite of each other. facade and killing have to do
with injustice, they have to do with corruption. They have to do with people stealing from each
other or robbing each other or invading each other or war. That's what facade has to do with. That's
for what's good the man has to do with but this B has to do with Subhana Allah Subhana Allah Subhana
Allah Subhan Allah Subhana Allah, this via has to do with decode inside the machine. This v has to
do with Salah we begin our Salah Subhana Allah Houma will be handed in ruku so how neurobion are the
institute's of hanabi ellada Salah is about this V. What is this V
00:05:00 -->
00:05:39
Have to do with corruption. And there are so many places in the world where there's a lot of
dispute. And all over the Muslim world, we make Salah, we do this we, and all over the Muslim world,
there's a lot of corruption, and there's a lot of blood that's been spilled. So we don't think of if
you have one, if you have corruption, you will not have this V. Or if you have this V, you will not
have corruption, that is just not the case. But when the angels spoke to Allah, they told him human
beings are going to be a problem. And the real problem is they don't really have to speak.
00:05:40 -->
00:06:01
Because we are the ones of this we're not no no Serbia chanukkah wa naka de sulak. And it's almost
as though the ishara the implication here is that if human beings were actually creatures of the
speed, if we did do so panela properly, then there would be no corruption, then there will be no
spilling of blood.
00:06:02 -->
00:06:06
A lot of told them in the bilateral demo. Now, let me fast forward a little bit.
00:06:07 -->
00:06:50
Allah azzawajal sent many profits. And every time he sent profits, it's the same message, same
message every time and it is since you can say it is also a message of this week, because what is
this we at the end of the day, what is Subhana? Allah Subhana Allah is to declare that Allah is
unique, and only Allah is perfect. It is another way of saying that ilaha illa Allah really at the
end of the day, and that is the message of all of the prophets. But the problem was, every time the
prophets came and taught their message, the majority, the majority did not accept the minority
acceptance. And even the minority that said that in the law, even the minority that did this be
00:06:50 -->
00:07:27
because they were taught by their profits 234 generations later, same problem again, because the
next generations would forget, they would become weak, they would lose some of the teachings, and
eventually they would fall back into shape. Again, they will forget about some kind of login, Allah
would send another prophet, and he would fix the problem for a small minority, and then they would
continue and then the problem came back again. And it came back again and again and again. And
again, this continued to happen throughout history. If one Prophet was successful, in his own time
when he was alive,
00:07:28 -->
00:07:35
then you cannot say that 500 years later is still successful. Because the future generations failed.
00:07:36 -->
00:07:56
So when I look at a community like this one before I go on Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah there's
something beautiful happening here. There's Islam here. Our children are saying that in the in the
law here are massage either here or there full here. But we have to think about 500 years from now.
00:07:57 -->
00:08:08
We have to we can't just think about right now. We have to think what's going to happen later on.
When this problem continued. You come all the way down to Ibrahim alayhis salam.
00:08:09 -->
00:08:51
And Ibrahim alayhis salam understands this problem. He's a genius. He understands this problem. So
when Allah gave him the opportunity to ask, because he made him a mom over all of the people in the
jar iluka the NASA mama Ibrahim alayhis. Salam asked about the future generations woman Doria thing.
What about my children and their children and their children and their children? Because he
understands what happens in history. The children forget that children fall into Sheik and Allah
told him that even his children, some of the most of them will forget divali me, my children. The
problem is the guarantee does not go to them. Even your children the promise, the guarantee does not
00:08:51 -->
00:09:05
extend to them. And so we get the DA Rahim salam, which goes back to the test. We have the angels
actually in my opinion, the DA Rahim Allah Islam was send them a messenger
00:09:06 -->
00:09:39
you know whenever I see him Rasulullah Minh home, a point raise a messenger sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam among them? Yes, no, I lay him I artica Well, you will Kitab al hikma will use a key. He will
recite your revelation to you. This is a door about Muhammad Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
I won't explain the story of Ibrahim alayhis salaam but I want you to understand something. Allah
told Ibrahim alayhis salam that the future generation will have a problem. He told him already.
00:09:40 -->
00:09:48
And Ibrahim Alayhi Salam knows this already. And after knowing this, he asked for Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wasallam.
00:09:49 -->
00:09:59
And the sort of last item is described with these four things. What will he come and do? You have to
know him I think when you only Mohamed Kitab al hikma
00:10:00 -->
00:10:04
We'll use a key Him, He will come and he will recite your revolute uriarte.
00:10:05 -->
00:10:10
He doesn't know it's called called AI. We know that it's called Koran that that happened 1000s of
years later.
00:10:11 -->
00:10:22
he'll teach them the book and the Wisdom, he will purify them. These simple words, Ibrahim alayhis
salaam understands something. If he can do that successfully,
00:10:23 -->
00:10:40
then they will take it and give it to their next generation. And they will take that and give it to
their next generation. And they will take that and give it to their next generation, which is why
Ibrahim alayhi salam, I would imagine, you could think he would ask a lot for one messenger for
every generation.
00:10:42 -->
00:11:03
Because that's guaranteed you'll no problem every every, every new generation every 30 4050 years,
there's a new rhassoul Problem solved. But he didn't ask for also, he didn't ask for messengers he
asked for just one messenger, just one. And he knows what happens when you send just one messenger.
A few generations later, everything is forgotten.
00:11:05 -->
00:11:54
But he asked not just for any messenger, he asked for a special messenger, a kind of messenger who
will have a unique a different mission than every other messenger before. And this messenger his
mission is so powerful and so unique, that if he if people learn his mission and the way he carried
his message, then the next generations will be safe. They will not lose their Islam. They will
continue to grow and grow and grow and grow in their Islam. But they will have to hold on to the
same formula. If they forget that formula, they will lose. We can hold on to Islam for 1400 and more
years easy but we can lose it in 20 years. We can lose if we forget this formula. It'll be gone in
00:11:54 -->
00:12:23
no time. It will be completely gone. And so I go back the angel said national news and we will be
having the Can you somebody who is what's called unfinished and move on in the Arabic language the
present tense which means not only do we do this V right now, we will continue to do to speak so
it's not just right now we have a commitment. We'll keep on doing this v. and human beings. They'll
do it now they'll forget later. They'll get weak later on.
00:12:24 -->
00:12:31
What does the Lara's origin tell us about the entire world the entire existence? Instituto Juma he
says you suck
00:12:33 -->
00:12:37
at Roma film, and medical Quddus, and disease and hacking.
00:12:38 -->
00:13:20
I won't emphasize everything about this I I just want you to notice one thing Allah says everything
in the skies and the earth does this be right now and will continue to do to speed this we will
continue to go on the declaration of laws perfection will happen in the skies and in the earth, and
it will keep on happening. If all of the human beings are alive or if all of the human beings are
dead. Does we have a law we'll continue this we have the law does not need you and me it will
continue. But there's something special about this beginning because Allah is talking about that
this we have a law continuing, not just stopping but continuing. And when he mentions this in the
00:13:20 -->
00:13:21
next if
00:13:23 -->
00:13:30
he was in them, and he mentions how will the messenger fulfill his mission that will keep this V of
Allah going,
00:13:31 -->
00:13:33
who will lead the via Philomena Rasul Allah.
00:13:35 -->
00:13:55
He Allah is the one who sent among the only yean he sent among the unlettered people, you can call
them the uneducated people, the uncivilized people, even. They have no big buildings. They have no
big roads, they have no castles or palaces. They have no good economy, they have no oil, yet.
00:13:58 -->
00:14:06
They have nothing. All they have is sand, and rocks. That's all they have. He sent a messenger among
them.
00:14:07 -->
00:14:56
And what does he do among those people yet to do either him it he he recites onto them his IRA, this
Quran, you know, today in the world, you have universities, you have big cities, you have
civilization, you have modern life. And then you had this desert and tents and mud homes, that's all
you had. And the Quran came in those two those tents and those motorhomes, that's where it came. And
that Quran is now still the guidance for the most modern cities and the most modern civilizations.
The newest of civilizations, this is the miracle of Allah xojo. What started in the most uneducated
place in the world, is that you could argue the most uneducated place in the world. Even next door
00:14:56 -->
00:15:00
to them is the Roman Empire and the Persian Empire. And those people
00:15:00 -->
00:15:16
Have poetry they have learning, they have philosophy, they have those things for 1000s of years they
have those things and the Arabs have nothing, they just had their shit. And they had their their
Aloha. And that's all they had. They didn't even have a big building.
00:15:17 -->
00:15:25
didn't even have that. And allies that would have chose those people. You know, between the Coleman
mountains Allah
00:15:27 -->
00:16:08
Allah describes you will you will you came to warn some nation whose fathers weren't even worn for
at least other nations they had profits before and other profits before and other profits before
since this mine is around the Arabs had nothing but a lead change those people because of this
messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and he brought a change this mess what I'm trying to say to
you is this Quran and this change that the Prophet brought is enough to transform our society. And
if it's powerful enough to change the society so much it's powerful enough to keep that change my
concern for a place like in the in the oma like a beautiful place like police or a beautiful country
00:16:08 -->
00:16:20
like Malaysia or the oma like you know, all over the oma My concern is not only what is happening
right now, how do we keep this oma First of all, how do we restore this oma? And how do we keep it
strong?
00:16:21 -->
00:16:29
The first step of it according to Allah, that the Prophet did that we must do something Allahu Allah
said them that we must do is yet to do it. He made it.
00:16:30 -->
00:16:33
He will recite on to the people his IRA.
00:16:34 -->
00:16:38
We have to restore the connection with the oma of the Quran.
00:16:39 -->
00:16:45
The Omar Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has to feel a bond, a relationship with the Quran.
00:16:46 -->
00:16:57
So in every home, in every machine, in every gathering of friends, somebody is reminding somebody of
the Iraq of Allah Almighty
00:16:58 -->
00:17:37
and this is you don't say oh, I already know what Quran says. It's not like that this Quran is
different. It's not like any other book. Every time you remind it does something inside you It gives
you a new life. It it restores you is that the outcome Lima your ego, when he calls you to what will
give you life it says though our heart starts dying and then you hear something from the Quran it
comes back to life again, and then it starts dying and you hear something from the mouth of a lion
it comes back to life again. So it's not like you say oh, I already know this. sola I already heard
this ayah No, no, no, no, no, but your heart is dying. It needs to be brought back to life again,
00:17:37 -->
00:18:18
yet look at him it he recites onto them his eye art and this is something that is not just it's of
course it's the job of the mom. Of course. It's the job of the Mufti. It's of course, it's the job
of the Hatim but it's also the job of the mother of the Father, of the older brother of the sister
in the family among the friends in the college in the university. When you're sitting in a
restaurant, in every every opportunity possible. You share with each other something about the Word
of Allah, something about what it means. And I'm talking about a when when we say yes to either him
it, it's important to understand that we're not just talking about you just recite something.
00:18:20 -->
00:19:01
You in a shame * regime and people are just sitting there listening? No, not just that because
for a lot of people they don't understand. They don't understand what Allah said. We don't just
recite the word of Allah, we share the meaning of the word of Allah, the lessons in the Word of
Allah, that is yet to either hemmati the wisdom, the advice from the word of Allah, that is what
brings the heart back to life that will restore and adjust to things I emphasize the heart but
there's one more thing it changes the way the Muslim thinks. I can tell you a lot and Arlene when I
travel, I realized something. Muslims love the Quran. We love the Quran, every one of us. But we
00:19:01 -->
00:19:13
don't think like the Quran. We forgot how to think like the Quran, the Quran, the more you listen to
it. And that's true. If you have a friend, you listen to him all the time, he changes the way you
think.
00:19:14 -->
00:19:55
If you spend time with people, and you listen to them constantly, they influence the way that you
think. If you're listening to Koran and the message of the Quran all the time, it changes the way
you think. It changes the way you think about yourself. It changes the way you think about your
neighbor. It changes the way you think about money. It changes the way you think about the future,
about your children, it changes everything. And every time your thinking goes back, you hear more
put on and your thinking is become better again. This is why the Quran keeps saying Kentucky,
Louisville, Kentucky Lune so that you can think so you can understand. Quran is not just about Islam
00:19:55 -->
00:19:59
or knowledge or art is about thinking reflecting
00:20:00 -->
00:20:07
This is something that you have to do over and over again, you know, even knowledgeable people.
Sometimes they just stop thinking.
00:20:08 -->
00:20:12
And then somebody reminds them and say, Oh, yeah, I haven't thought about that in a long time.
00:20:13 -->
00:20:59
They're thinking can become rusty. Just because you have a muscle doesn't mean you're exercising
that muscle. Koran is a means by which that muscle is exercised. We're constantly engaged and
reengaged in thinking about the word of Allah. And that's when you understand the next words will
use a key him. And by doing so, he purifies them, he cleans them, what is the clean the Quran, when
you hear it all the time, it starts cleaning your heart, it starts cleaning things like jealousy, it
starts cleaning things like greed. You know, you have some times in your life in my life, there are
arguments, or there is a problem. And you have a problem in your family or somebody is not listening
00:20:59 -->
00:21:37
to your son is not listening to you and you have a big problem at home, or the husband and the wife
are not getting along as a big problem. Or there's a problem in the business or something. There's
some issue that you're having in your life. And this this issue becomes so big. You're always
thinking about it, you're going to sleep depressed, thinking about it, you wake up thinking about
it, you're talking to everybody in your family about it, it's always on your mind, until you start
hearing more and more and more and more again, and what happens you realize that big problem is
actually a very small problem. It's not that big of a problem. masaba mean we'll see but in a lab
00:21:39 -->
00:21:50
is no problem that ever strikes you there's no calamity, there's no great difficulty that will ever
hit you accept it from Allah, you know, Allah has permission. And you just become
00:21:53 -->
00:22:35
the Calva whoever can have him on in Allah, Allah will guide their heart Oh, put your heart at ease.
This is your this is us a key him. You were depressed about your problem and all of a sudden it's
not that big of a problem anymore. You were so angry at someone you're every time somebody says
their name you like to get so angry when you hear their name. And now because of cron. Your heart is
not angry anymore. The anger is gone. The jealousy is gone. The memory is gone. You're thinking
about much more important thing. You're thinking I think this is the worst problem. I am going to
stand in front of the lesson. This is nothing not worth it. Not worth my time. What a lot does this
00:22:35 -->
00:22:36
you know they say in Arabic?
00:22:38 -->
00:22:38
You know,
00:22:39 -->
00:23:19
when you make something a big deal, it becomes a big deal. When you make something no big deal it
becomes a small problem. What is Quran do? Quran comes and gives you balance what is worth making a
big deal. What is worth keeping us if something deserves to be small than Quran will make it small.
And something deserves to be big Quran will make it big, and your thinking will become prioritized.
This is us a Kenyan not only in the sense of our hearts, but in the sense of our minds. The Crohns
thilawa just one more thing about about this key I want to share with you, it will constantly remind
you why this is the word of Allah.
00:23:21 -->
00:23:54
You know over time you find in Quran Allah says we're in a Latina o de su Kitab and embody him Luffy
Shaka Min humare generations that came afterwards, next generation next generation, those who
inherited the book from their parents, they became doubtful. They started having Shaq. I mean, we
follow this religion. But you know, the Buddhists, they also follow their religion and the Hindus,
they also have their religion and the Christians, they also have their religion, there's so many
religions, and they follow their religion because their parents gave it to them.
00:23:56 -->
00:24:03
And we follow our religion because our parents give it to them. So maybe ours is okay. But I don't
know maybe theirs is okay too.
00:24:04 -->
00:24:14
Because we all got it from our parents, maybe if I was born in a Buddhist family, if I was born in
the Hindu family, I would have been Hindu. You know, I wonder which one is right.
00:24:15 -->
00:24:29
You start having the next generation starts having doubts. The solution to those doubts is yet to
either him it he will use a key him. When from the early age going on. You are teaching children how
to think
00:24:30 -->
00:24:41
and you're exposing them to the word of Allah. They're not only learning how to make salah and what
what Vicar to make, they are learning why the most important question Why are they Muslim?
00:24:42 -->
00:24:59
We are not Muslim because our parents are Muslim. We are Muslim because it's unhealthy. It's the
truth and the law of the eye on the message of Quran when it's constantly being repeated. It shows
you why this is the truth hedayat Avi and Allah home
00:25:00 -->
00:25:19
Now until it becomes clear to them it's the truth. Every time you hear that homie, man and it
increases them even more anymore they are even more convinced it's the word of Allah. Allah Hello
Arlene, I've been trying to understand the Quran it was mentioned in the introduction. I've been
trying to understand the Quran since 1999.
00:25:20 -->
00:25:29
And I'm in study, I'm still a student of the Quran. And sometimes I'm studying Koran, and I just
have to stop and say columella
00:25:30 -->
00:26:06
like, I just, this can only be from Allah. I have that all the time when I study it now. Why?
Because that's the promise of Allah. He will purify your thinking and refresh your Iban and remove
your doubts. And when you don't have this when you don't do yet to do it him I think he will use a
key him. You know, come on, he has signal in the visa Lola harness and just like the legacy of the
profits lesson, if we don't do this, you know what happens? Then you get a new generation of
Muslims, they have questions. I don't understand this a lot. What is the point? Why is it these five
different salons and what's the point of Zakat?
00:26:08 -->
00:26:44
I don't understand why we have halal Haram, what's the big deal? They start having doubts about
everything. They started questioning everything, nothing makes sense to them anymore. And you know,
when those questions come, when there's a distance between the online and the Quran, then the
questions come. And when the when the when the connection is there, then the questions are answered
in the best way by Allah Himself. So you never even feel the need to ask the question because it's
been convincingly answered, before you even ask the question, you have to do it him it he will use a
key him. He then says this is the last two parts and these are different. So this first part was
00:26:44 -->
00:26:48
different. The last part is different. Well, you only Mohamed Kitab al hikmah.
00:26:49 -->
00:26:52
Allah azza wa jal could have just said yet,
00:26:53 -->
00:27:13
he will use a key him and or he could have said yes to Allah. He Makita. Yes, he will. hikmah he
reads the book to them. He reads the wisdom to them. No, he says he teaches the book. He teaches the
book, he teaches the wisdom. So there's a different verb analogy is different from yet.
00:27:14 -->
00:27:20
So first, I'd like to help you understand the difference between the blue in the beginning and your
limo home now.
00:27:21 -->
00:27:58
Yes, Lou, you have to allow him suggests there's a public audience. And you just recite to them. You
make things easy for them to understand. Some of them are students. Some of them are not students.
Some of them can only listen for two minutes. Some of them can listen for two hours, no difference.
It's open ended invitation. This is what the Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam even for the
Quraysh they're not students. They're not there to learn. But even on them yet to Allah, him it even
on them. You know, this is actually in a sense, the first two, first two parts of this ayah are like
dalla.
00:27:59 -->
00:28:39
And they're like Dawa. Because there was somebody will listen and somebody will not listen, but
doesn't matter you try to give anyway. Sometimes you see you among your friends you share something
about the Quran. Some of your friends don't want to hear anything. It's okay. Something went in
their ear and maybe six months from now it'll grow inside their head. But maybe they won't listen
right then it's okay. This is yes. It was a key him. But now we're in a different phrase. We're in
Lima, homolka, tavas achema. Tallinn is two things. There's the more alim and there's the motor. And
then there's the teacher. And there's the student. And they both have to put a lot of effort. It
00:28:39 -->
00:29:21
doesn't come without effort. dalim cannot happen easily. Like right now when you're sitting here.
This actually is not Darlene. This is more closer to your MIT. This is closer to that. And Midland
accepted as that. But when you say Alabama, then you're saying the teacher makes a lot of effort
checks on every student to gauge their progress. Did you understand that? You understand, did you
and he repeats and he reviews and he tests. And the student is taking notes and studying and he's
asking questions. And he's memorizing and he's learning and he doesn't understand something. He
comes back to the teacher and there's constant back and forth and it takes a long time. When you
00:29:21 -->
00:29:48
teach anything, it takes a long time. olara xojo says about the law of this Deen Al Kitab here is a
reference to the Sharia Quran. Many times the word Kitab is used in the meaning of the law Kitab
Allah here they call the book of Allah meaning the law of Allah mandated upon you. Similarly the law
of fasting is good Eva and ecomuseum. Right. So GitHub is used many places in Quran for the meaning
of law.
00:29:50 -->
00:30:00
And so Allah says he teaches them the law. What does that mean that the Sharia of Islam, the law of
Islam, you cannot just hear about it and you understand it.
00:30:02 -->
00:30:27
There's the message of Islam. That's different, the IRS of a lot different. You can just hear about
them, and maybe you'll still benefit. But the law of Islam, the icon of Islam, the mandate of Islam
is serious. And you have to seriously learn to understand it, because this is actually very
dangerous. You know, if you go to court,
00:30:28 -->
00:30:30
you better have a good lawyer,
00:30:31 -->
00:30:41
and a good lawyer as someone who spent a lot of serious time understanding the law, but you're not
going to hire someone who says, hey, yeah, I listened to the law on the radio.
00:30:43 -->
00:30:46
I just heard it one time. I'll take your case.
00:30:48 -->
00:31:02
When it comes to the law, you need to have people that really seriously study the law. Serious
deeply understand the law. Why? Because the law, maybe it applies in one case, but it doesn't apply
in another case.
00:31:03 -->
00:31:42
Maybe it's for this group, but it's not for this group. If you don't understand it deeply, even for
a judge. One case comes he says guilty. Another case comes he says not guilty. And for the
outsiders, it looks like the same case. It's like the same same exact case. Why is he saying guilty?
Not guilty because you don't understand the law is a different situation here in different situation
there. If you explain if he explained it in detail, you would understand why I say this is because
today people talk a lot about Sharia about halal and haram. And I can I can tell you even though
Muslims most of the time when we talk about halal and haram, we don't know what we're talking about.
00:31:43 -->
00:32:14
We don't know. We just heard something. We didn't really learn it. We just heard something and we
repeated the genius of the Quran and the genius of Rahim Allah Islam and finally the wisdom of Allah
zone. He mentioned, you know, whom will kitabi teaches them the law, which means we're going to have
to go to the fuqaha the Allah Ma, the people that study the law and and spend their lifetime
studying the law, and we're gonna have to learn from them. And if you really want to understand it,
then you have to become a student.
00:32:15 -->
00:32:44
If you don't understand some hokum, some some ruling in Sharia, you say, it doesn't make sense to
me, then you have to become serious, then you have to become a student to understand it. That's just
the nature of the law. But even then, even then, the law alone is a problem. There was a nation
before us, they were also given the law. But they were also given shediac. They were also given
halal and haram Quran talks about them all the time.
00:32:45 -->
00:32:52
And that nation, unfortunately, what happened was their entire Islam was just the law.
00:32:53 -->
00:33:03
For them, Islam was just halal and haram and further and that's it. That's all it was. So they made
two things equal Islam equals Sharia.
00:33:04 -->
00:33:15
Islam does not equal Sharia. What is happening in this ayah yet you are a minority, that's not the
law. We'll use a key him that's not the law when you leave.
00:33:17 -->
00:33:24
That's the law. And then I'll take my at the end that's still again, not the law. The law is part of
Islam, but it's not all of this.
00:33:25 -->
00:33:52
It's not all of Islam. What happens in the oma when we forget this teaching of the Quran, we go
around trying to implement the law of Islam, force people to accept the law of Islam, tell people
this is haram you cannot do this or this is this is fun, you have to do this, etc. And the people
say Why? Why should I do it? I don't want to do it. You know why? They ask why? Because you have to
do I lay him it he will use em hasn't happened.
00:33:53 -->
00:34:25
You cannot just go straight to the law. There's a process step one, step two, step three. That's
what Quran is teaching us. You want the law in the land, you want the law to be followed by the
believers, even even the Muslims then first you have to follow the steps. And even if you're
following the law now, how will you make sure the next generation will love the law not just follow
the law love the word of the law, love the outcome of Allah? Because if we don't love what Allah
gave us if we if we follow it and we don't like to,
00:34:26 -->
00:34:59
if we follow it we don't like to that's called the FARC Yun Fukunaga homecare, they spend but they
hate it. What's the point? If we don't do if we don't, if we don't love Salah if we don't love
soccer? If we don't love Hello, then there's no point. And so how do you instill that love is those
first two steps but now I get to hikma Will you only move your limo Makita Well, hekla hikmah is
many things I just want to highlight a couple of quick things for you. The first of them is Hickman
means
00:35:00 -->
00:35:29
In the way in which you will do the Kitab, meaning apply the key term, the the key, the judge, the
ruler, the Imam, even the head of the household, when he's going to make a judgement, according to
the Kitab news, he needs to use a lot of wisdom. He cannot just, this is the rule, that's it. wisdom
will have to be applied. So that's one easy implication of a heckuva. But the other interesting
meaning there's lots of meanings of Mahatma, what I can share with you here today.
00:35:31 -->
00:35:33
How does the Quran talk about hekla.
00:35:34 -->
00:35:42
And if you really want to understand this, I will give you two words. And you have to remember the
comparison between these two words and then shallow dialogue. We're done.
00:35:43 -->
00:35:50
The first word is the law. I've been talking about that. And the second word is morals. morals.
00:35:51 -->
00:35:59
You have for example, there's a law there's a red light on the street. When you get to the red light
you have to stop that is the law.
00:36:00 -->
00:36:02
If you keep going you broke the law.
00:36:03 -->
00:36:09
The law is basically yes or no black or white halal or haram is very clear.
00:36:10 -->
00:36:12
And when you break the law there is punishment
00:36:13 -->
00:36:19
that's the that's the nature of the law. If If you broke a law and there is no punishment, then it's
not a law.
00:36:21 -->
00:36:30
You see if the red light you stop there, and you keep going and nobody says anything the policeman
says okay, but next time Okay, just be be nice next time.
00:36:32 -->
00:37:04
On it says on the side, please, please stop here if you're a nice person. But if you don't stop
here, shame on you. But there is no lease. Nobody will stop because the law is not respected until
there is what some some kind of authority. That's that's the nature of the law. But morals are
different. hikma is different. Heckman is for example, in Quran one time she filled out the Maha.
Don't walk on the earth with with pride.
00:37:05 -->
00:37:34
Don't walk with pride. There's not a law. I can't walk a certain way in the police convey. Walking
with pride is fine. But you can't do that. That's not a law. It's a moral. Allah says we're bill
Wiley Dini, Sharon be the best you can beat your parents. So you get game and you said Salaam to
your parents and the police officer says you should have said better said on water from Allah you
better cut to a silent is another fine 50 ringgit.
00:37:35 -->
00:37:38
That's not a law. It's a moral teaching.
00:37:39 -->
00:38:06
You know, Allah says in Quran he says in ISIL. Look, man, look, man gave His Son hikma when Nakata
Athena lokmanya hikma and he gave that hickmott his son and he says it to his son. You know waldmann
soltec Lower your voice in Kerala Swathi la SoTL. Hamid the ugliest sound is the sound of a donkey.
Lower your voice. Lowering the voice is not the law. I'm raising my voice right now.
00:38:08 -->
00:38:08
Right.
00:38:09 -->
00:38:20
That's not the law. And you can say so you're sitting in a restaurant. Hey. And then the Sharia
police comes in says 50 ring in Kerala, Swati lasota. Me
00:38:21 -->
00:38:22
and you get a donkey sticker. I
00:38:26 -->
00:39:11
know there's a difference. Islam gave us two things. Islam gave us laws and actually very few laws.
And Islam gave us a lot of morals. A lot of hikma Valley kanima la caribou come in and hikma this
will give you a lot of wisdom and wisdom is a few things. The emaan that we have Imani and Allah
Eman and Dr. Hara. Imani was from the last email and all of those so the man in the grave. That's
all part of hikma also. That's also hikma. And then the moral teachings are also hikma and we're
learning now that you cannot just learn the law. You have to learn the law and the morals you have
to learn the law and these other teachings together and that's why they're combined. You IE whom
00:39:11 -->
00:39:25
will you Ali Mohamed Kitab al hikma. You know, a lot of times people have a question. And nowadays
people the way people ask a question is very interesting. especially young people come and ask a
question. They'll say is Facebook haram?
00:39:26 -->
00:39:35
Or is is, you know, our movies Haram is music around as every question Hold on, hold on, hold on,
hold on hold on
00:39:36 -->
00:39:41
this and if you say, well, let's talk No, no, just tell me how wrong or not.
00:39:44 -->
00:39:52
And then because it's the law. It's complicated. It needs a complicated answer, like Oh, so it's not
haraam, which means it's Helen.
00:39:54 -->
00:39:55
You know,
00:39:56 -->
00:39:59
you know, a lot of times it tells you that we think oh,
00:40:00 -->
00:40:03
In terms of the law, like Islam, all it is is the law.
00:40:04 -->
00:40:05
You know,
00:40:06 -->
00:40:07
it has nothing to do with wisdom.
00:40:09 -->
00:40:17
The these questions are not about Kitab they're actually about what hikma a lot of these questions
are about hikma.
00:40:18 -->
00:40:26
Some some girl came to me one time, her mother said, she goes out with her friends All the time. She
doesn't listen to me.
00:40:27 -->
00:40:31
So she says, The girl says to me, is having friends around.
00:40:34 -->
00:40:42
And I said, Okay, let's sit down and talk. I said, Are you allergic? And she said, Yes, I have
allergy to peanuts.
00:40:44 -->
00:40:48
I said, Here have some peanuts. I'll get you some peanuts. No, no, I'm allergic. Jose, but it's not
Haram.
00:40:51 -->
00:41:03
peanuts are haram or no. You can eat them. Why aren't you eating them? That's a bad idea. She says
that's a bad idea as Exactly. Sometimes something is not wrong, but it's still a bad idea.
00:41:05 -->
00:41:06
That's called hikma.
00:41:08 -->
00:41:53
Not all of Islam is law. A lot of islamize. Here's a good idea. Here's a bad idea. Don't be
arrogant. When you walk. That's a bad idea. Don't raise your voice at people. When you're having a
normal conversation. That's a bad idea. it's wise to keep your voice low. Deal with your parents in
the best way. This is a good idea. And if you don't do that, that's a bad idea. That's sigma it's a
it's the higher kind of common sense. So this is the practical map of the religion that was given to
the pseudo Allah sallallahu alayhi wasallam. And this when you teach it this way, notice where it
began though you don't begin with hikmah you begin with yet to Allah He Maya t y. And so one last
00:41:53 -->
00:42:01
time I'll share with you why and add some new things. You begin with yet to either a Maya t because
we get to Our Lady Maya te The man is
00:42:02 -->
00:42:05
as calm. Now, you know, this is from Allah.
00:42:06 -->
00:42:12
You don't question that anymore. Now you're ready to listen. And now that because if you are totally
utterly Maya,
00:42:13 -->
00:42:33
Eamon and when I decided that I already answered them and increases them in their email. And when
that happens, now they're ready to become more and more purified. We use a key him. Now it's time to
teach the law T and by the way, the alum will learn the law at this level. But the child will have
to be taught the law at this level.
00:42:34 -->
00:43:14
Whenever they need. Our children, they need to learn the law of regarding how to pray, how to eat,
how to purify themselves, they need to learn that part of the law. The island has to learn the law
of Muhammad, not even how to do the judgment between the people how to do the law between people,
they have to learn the law at a different level. Not everybody has to become a p you so there's a
minimum amount of law that you need that I need that we have to learn. And then there's higher and
higher and higher levels. And but hikma is for everybody, and even hikma is at different levels
right the hikma for a child is something else. Like look, mom gave the advice to his son, the hikma
00:43:14 -->
00:43:57
for for the elders is something else. pigma for the elders is how do we talk to our young people. We
need to Hickman how we talk to our young people, you know, and so this beautiful map of religion has
been given to us what I when I thought about this place, and I it was shared in the video before I'm
so grateful that I got to fulfill that ambition. And I'm so my team is also so grateful we came here
and we went on the bike run with huanqiu I'm so honored to be a part of that. And so very grateful
to really partake in that act of Avada that we did. I was telling the group earlier all over the
world I get to see a famous Salah. And here I came I got to see Arthur Sokka you know, it's just a
00:43:57 -->
00:44:21
beautiful thing to be able to live and see Mila bless this the online especially the people here for
what what's happening here. What I thought about was, again, what's going to happen 300 years from
now 500 years from now. And how are we going to make this the strongest part of the oma we can do
that only if we create a culture where Koran is being taught and learned in every circle.
00:44:22 -->
00:44:55
Every circle every family, every machine, every women's circle, there's some Holocaust or on there's
some helicopter scene. There's some some circle where people are going after Dada soon avena home,
they're they're sitting among each other and they're just studying the book of Allah. Like the
prophet SAW Selim describes when people do that, any home of Allah any house of Allah He beat him in
Utila, when they're sitting there and learning the book of Allah. Allah Allah Allah, Allah, aka, you
know, angels come down. Have fun even more like
00:44:56 -->
00:45:00
angels surround them and tranquility, peace, this
00:45:00 -->
00:45:11
on them, you know and this is important to understand because it goes back to the the word of the
angels. The angel said that we they will cause they will spill blood and do corruption and we do
this we
00:45:12 -->
00:45:13
we do this
00:45:15 -->
00:45:20
and here we are the best of all this V is the Quran. So because marami kallada
00:45:21 -->
00:45:53
cannot be the best Subhana Allah the bestest V is the word of Allah. And when we do that peace comes
on us. And when you have Sakina you cannot have facade. When you have Sakina you cannot have such
good demand. You know, this book will protect not only your personal life, it will protect the oma
itself. I tell people, a lot of times you know we have when you have a problem people do Rukia and
they recite Quran I argue that Rukia is truly effective when you recite Quran with understanding.
00:45:55 -->
00:46:22
It's truly effective when you recycle and you understand what a lie is saying. That's when it
protects you. That's when it offers that protection and May Allah azza wa jal make the score on like
Allah says about it, the Lambo, but the radiculopathy voluntary Domine dooney Hema tada about the
kitabi says with Luma come in kitabi Arabic, Lambada Li Kalamata voluntary Domine dooney and even do
Nikita Musa Harada.
00:46:23 -->
00:47:04
He will not find any protection anywhere to hide anywhere to stay safe, other than the Kitab of
Allah, other than the book of Allah. So what will keep this safe is this formula given a given by
this little loss and the long run insulin, and that formula is one of really injecting the message
and the reflection and the understanding of the Quran, deep inside the hearts and the minds of this
oma Eliza will make the state of police and the people here a model of that, and an example of that
for others to follow. And may Allah azza wa jal make the oma all over once again deeply reconnected
with the book of Allah barakallahu li walakum from coronella Hakeem when a fire Anyway, it was
00:47:04 -->
00:47:04
shocking.
00:47:18 -->
00:47:22
I guess, a little bit, two or three.
00:47:26 -->
00:47:27
Okay. Alhamdulillah.
00:47:29 -->
00:47:30
Thank you very much.
00:47:31 -->

00:48:55 -->
00:48:59
Maybe three the second one Okay. Please. You're the first one okay.
00:49:09 -->
00:49:39
My question is about yet to Allah him is he? here actually I heard from I heard it and I What can I
understand from the outer meaning? That just it means the Ayat of Allah. So does it always refer to
Quran or anything that is the that reminds Allah that can be assigned to prove Allah all these
things can be included in IRC or on the Quran. Good question.
00:49:41 -->
00:49:45
I am hoping to send from Bangladesh uni map student masters
00:49:47 -->
00:50:00
great question Sophia is the word I art in yet Lu la him is he referring only to the Quran? Or is it
referring to you know, you know all things outside because everything is I asked at the end of this
00:50:00 -->
00:50:03
De the creation of allies also I often histories also
00:50:05 -->
00:50:12
I would argue that there are places in the Quran that have to be determined the meaning has to be
determined by the context.
00:50:13 -->
00:50:18
And the context of this ayah is it's a response to the DA Rahim Allah Hassan
00:50:19 -->
00:51:06
and the Arabic Rahim Allah Salaam, WA specifically about a messenger who will come and recite
Allah's revelations. He will recite what will be revealed to him. And so, I would argue that in this
particular case, the the primary meaning is revelation or on itself. You can extrapolate
secondarily, maybe it includes other things, but I would stick with the the primary meaning and
that's further elaborated in Halima homolka, taba will acquire it's actually building on the same
notion, the different roles that occur on planes. doctrine plays the role of ions. It plays a role
of Ischia. It plays the role of taneema Kitab. It plays the role of that demon hikma. It plays all
00:51:06 -->
00:51:43
of those different roles, because it's not one thing, but it cannot be reduced to one thing, it
plays multiple functions, and all of them have been described. Some of you might know that the word
hikma is also described like a mama chef, a very famous statement that the word hikma is the son of
the Prophet says Kitab and Nicobar meaning Quran and Sunnah. Right? And even though that's a very,
it's a very beautiful way of explaining it also, because the word hikma and Arabic is an element to
one another. Alavi the good knowledge and you act on that knowledge and the sunlight is the actions
of the Quran. It's actually the Quran practically. Right? So in that sense, also on Kitab al hikmah.
00:51:43 -->
00:51:51
Makes sense? It's the practical application of the Quran. Okay, thank you. And then we got a second
question with the last one from densley.
00:51:53 -->
00:52:03
Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakaatuh. No, man. Thank you very much for such enlightened
lecture. My question is nothing to do with Foucault.
00:52:04 -->
00:52:09
I just from your own perception, background,
00:52:10 -->
00:52:22
you have been, I suppose you're born outside the US. You're now residing us. Am I right? Now, I
notice that in this world today,
00:52:24 -->
00:52:31
the best Muslim Muslim practices are not in the Muslim countries. They're all in the West.
00:52:32 -->
00:52:39
The perception I receive the book that I make my Eman Manta, Manta is
00:52:42 -->
00:52:46
the mighty mind in mind, you know, the strength of my mind
00:52:47 -->
00:53:01
strengthened when I read a book, written not by a Muslim at that time, by Morris, Ohio, the
comparison science, Quran, and Bible. When I read that,
00:53:03 -->
00:53:10
it turned out it turned me upside down. Of course, Morris became Muslim later. Now the Muslim
practices today.
00:53:12 -->
00:53:13
And I see
00:53:14 -->
00:53:21
the love learner, Muslims coming from the US and Europe, not from the traditional Muslim countries.
00:53:22 -->
00:53:25
And a lot of laws, like you said be applied
00:53:27 -->
00:53:35
unreasonably. We just assume that our laws, but these are coming from traditional Muslim countries?
No, my question is, how come?
00:53:36 -->
00:53:42
This has happened? Is it because you are residing in a non Muslim majority country?
00:53:44 -->
00:53:53
You're a minority and you're in that part of the world. And that we are on here we were born
Muslims. We think that that is what the law is all about?
00:53:54 -->
00:54:03
Or is it because of some other intellectual exercises that are in the education system and whatever?
Thank you. That's a very heavy question.
00:54:05 -->
00:54:06
But it's a really good question, too.
00:54:09 -->
00:54:23
I disagree with you. First of all, I think there are some incredible Muslims in the oma everywhere.
And I don't believe that Muslims in the West are better. I don't. If you came there, you would know.
00:54:27 -->
00:54:38
But what I will say is that you you do find very prominent thinkers and intellectuals and diaries
and things like that coming more and more from the Western world. Right.
00:54:39 -->
00:54:42
And I'm just a small example of that, but much better than myself.
00:54:44 -->
00:54:56
The reasons for that are many one of those reasons is I can only share personal ones with you. I was
you know, I was born in Germany. I spent a lot of my youth in Serbia,
00:54:57 -->
00:54:59
of course, a Muslim country and when you're in a Muslim
00:55:00 -->
00:55:07
Country, there's a blessing Islam is all around you. But there's also a challenge. You don't
question anything.
00:55:08 -->
00:55:13
It's just Islam. Everybody's Muslim, obviously. So you never think about Islam.
00:55:14 -->
00:55:16
It's just a part of your identity.
00:55:17 -->
00:55:31
When you go to America, and they question everything about you, why are you Muslim? Why are you
dressed like that? Why do you pray? What what is in your book, they start asking you all these
questions. And these questions you never even asked yourself.
00:55:34 -->
00:55:58
So you don't know how to answer these questions, because you never had them yourself. And when you
learn to see them, you did not learn Islam. Number one, if somebody asks you, why are you Muslim?
Here's what you say. And here's how you you never learned this. You never learned it. And so I had,
first of all, I wasn't even interested in the religion. And when I did, I had to ask myself the same
questions that non Muslims ask.
00:56:00 -->
00:56:42
It's like, I have to take Shahada all over again, to hold on to my Islam. Because I cannot live
there. Have all those questions? and say, Okay, I don't have any answers, but I'm still Muslim. I
can't shut my brain off. Now I have to come to Islam. intellectually, I have to come to Islam
consciously. I would argue I was subconsciously Muslim. And now I have to become consciously Muslim.
And then I realized something that the word those questions that I was asked in America, or the
society that challenged my Islam, that society has now made its way onto the internet.
00:56:43 -->
00:56:48
And now the Muslim Ummah, is being asked those questions wherever they are.
00:56:50 -->
00:57:14
So we're not safe anywhere, which means we cannot be subconscious Muslims anywhere anymore. We can't
afford it. We have to come to Islam, consciously know, and be confident in our system and have the
right foundation of why is it that we are Muslim, we have to refresh Islam all over again, like we
just became listening.
00:57:15 -->
00:57:16
It is necessary.
00:57:17 -->
00:57:35
In before the internet, I would argue it was maybe easier for you to pass Islam from your
grandfather to you, you know, to your father to you, it was easier. It is much harder for you to
give it to your children guaranteed, because they have Google,
00:57:36 -->
00:57:41
which means they have questions, which means they have questions you never had.
00:57:42 -->
00:58:23
And they will ask those questions. And there's some very hard questions. You know, we have to equip
ourselves. So that's one of the reasons we as a minority, if we're going to survive, we have to
answer those questions. And that builds confidence. The other thing is, how are you going to stay as
a minority where everybody around you doesn't like Islam, or they don't know anything about Islam
and things like that. You have to become very strong in your, in the confidence in your faith, and
you have to become ambassadors of your faith. You cannot be on the defense, in a sense, you have to
be on the offense. You have to stand up and speak for your faith if it's going to survive. And I
00:58:23 -->
00:58:32
would argue that a lot of the Muslims in the West were put in that position. A lot of Muslims lost
their faith. A lot of Muslims are no longer Muslim in the West. They're gone.
00:58:33 -->
00:58:48
I met somebody, it was incredible. I met somebody in Mexico, Mexico City, I went just once. And this
the soon as I got to Mexico City, I did the most important thing. Look for a halal restaurant,
right? There's only two.
00:58:50 -->
00:59:09
And I there was a Moroccan restaurant not too far away. I went there. And I know a little bit of
Spanish I spoke to the brother, I found out that he's Moroccan. And we started speaking in Arabic a
little bit. And he told me that there was a huge immigration of Arab Muslims that came to Mexico in
1960s and 1970s. Engineers,
00:59:10 -->
00:59:20
hundreds of 1000s. And I said, so where are they are? They're big masajid in Mexico, or there was no
no, there's one last year 200 people.
00:59:21 -->
00:59:23
So what happened to everybody else? Where did they go?
00:59:25 -->
00:59:37
He said they basically accepted Mexican culture. The first generation was fairly Muslim, but their
children became very much assimilated with the larger society. Now you can't even tell.
00:59:39 -->
00:59:49
You can't even tell which ones of them are they have some names like Mohammed, Ahmed and things like
that. But other than that, you can tell that they're Muslim soheila and just six
00:59:52 -->
00:59:52
was
01:00:08 -->
01:00:08
Are you?
01:00:32 -->
01:00:32
There's
01:00:48 -->
01:00:48
not.
01:01:08 -->
01:01:40
Here's something I would like to maybe answer one more question. And then I'd like to stand in the
back over there and let our mothers and daughters ask whatever questions they want without the mic.
It's okay. Okay. But I'd like to because they usually never get a chance to speak to the, the, you
know, the art and the speakers, the moms, so I'm, I'm, I would love to take a selfie with you guys.
But we'll do that at the end. I'll go in the back first and maybe speak to our mothers and our
daughters first, inshallah. And then we'll come back. Okay. One more question from this brother. And
okay. Yep. Could be very short one. All right. Okay, please.
01:01:43 -->
01:01:47
My name is Mr. Jake alcholic, PhD student at University of Otago, Malaysia.
01:01:48 -->
01:02:05
Now we have the extremists, who are who believe that we need to destroy everyone who's not following
Islam, build it again from zero. And we have the others who believe in gradual transformation, which
I agree with you but
01:02:07 -->
01:02:20
your album home and cowboy rolling it was a key, which I believe this is the safe way for and
logical way to transform what we have become after letting go our formula.
01:02:22 -->
01:02:25
But my question is,
01:02:26 -->
01:02:55
now we have governments that and Arabic and Muslim countries whom their population do not believe in
them as leaders to transformation to become a leading Muslim countries. We all believe that I'm
Palestinian, and I believe in as many of my colleagues or my age that our governments are not going
to bring us anywhere to become a leading Muslim countries or back to Islam as it was And
01:02:56 -->
01:03:08
plus, the Western cultures that trying or in generally, generally speaking, they are pushing and
trying to limit the Islamic
01:03:11 -->
01:03:27
the other sides of Islam, that implies two lifestyles, they trying to limit Islam to messages or to
holla or to whatever it is that just keep it there, don't do financial, Islamic financial finance,
don't do
01:03:28 -->
01:03:33
Islamic business, they trying to limit everything that that can be a rival
01:03:34 -->
01:03:50
to their system. So how because it is how do you see us Muslims all over the world with this,
everything happening? To get back on track and become a leading? Thank you very much.
01:03:53 -->
01:03:54
Another heavy question.
01:03:57 -->
01:04:04
I'd like to share a quick story with you my brother. I was in Turkey about a month and a half ago.
01:04:05 -->
01:04:14
And as you know, Turkey implemented extreme secularism after the fall of the the nanny state in
1924.
01:04:15 -->
01:04:29
And when they implemented extreme secularism, things like hijaab were banned. And there was like
some, some very extreme measures were taken to even burn copies of Quran in some places, the faasil
were burned.
01:04:30 -->
01:04:59
People that had government jobs, and if they had a beard, they had to shave their beard or lose
their job. This is a very, very extreme situation in the Muslim country. And they went through this
for the last 90 years almost. And the they try to suppress Islam in every possible way, every
possible way. that Turkey has some of the most beautiful massages in the world. And you haven't
heard the thunder in so many years.
01:05:00 -->
01:05:17
You know, in the like, it's an incredible change that was brought into that society to rip Islam out
of that society. You're talking about leaving Islam inside the machine and not dealing with
economics are they tried, they did they barely even let Islam inside the machine.
01:05:18 -->
01:05:20
So it was far worse.
01:05:21 -->
01:05:23
And when I went to Turkey a few weeks ago,
01:05:25 -->
01:05:25
I heard the.
01:05:27 -->
01:05:36
And when I went to Turkey a few weeks ago, I saw people in government buildings, say Salaam to each
other, they could lose their job for saying Salaam, by the way,
01:05:37 -->
01:05:53
another thing Salaam to each other, and they're discussing and I'm I met a historian, I cannot
forget her story. It's so incredible. She's a historian of the earth money enough, she's a
grandmother herself. And she told me a story of her grandmother.
01:05:54 -->
01:06:01
Her grandmother used to work in government, when the government changed from Islamic government to
secular extreme secular government.
01:06:02 -->
01:06:05
And she used to memorize Koran.
01:06:06 -->
01:06:24
And she used to wear hijab, and she was told you have to take your hijab off. And she was some head
of education offers some big role in government. She said, I'm not gonna take my hijab off. So they
changed her job from, you know, Chancellor of education or something to janitor cleaning service,
01:06:25 -->
01:06:33
you know, the movement down just because she wouldn't take her hijab off. Then they wanted to come
door to door to check who has copy of Quran so they could burn it.
01:06:35 -->
01:06:51
So she hid her copy of the Quran under the you know, in her barn where they keep the animals. She
hid it under the hay so that they wouldn't find it. And she would go into there and she would recite
her Koran. And she wouldn't have bring it out from there, because they'll find out.
01:06:52 -->
01:07:25
And this is where the animals do, you know, their filth. And that's where she keeps her most health.
And the granddaughter told me who's now herself an older woman. She told me she still has a copy of
Quran she keeps it inside of a bag. Because if she opens the bag, the whole house smells like
animal. You know what, you know, this is where they came from. But were they able to get rid of the
Quran or get rid of Islam? No, they were able to hold it down for almost 90 years, and then it just
01:07:26 -->
01:07:45
popped back up again. And now young people there are in the massaging. It's it's something beautiful
to see. They're learning Arabic. It's when I saw the Syrian refugees in Turkey. Voila, he I
remembered Mahajan and and saw what law allowed him it was incredible. In I've never seen anything
like it.
01:07:46 -->
01:07:51
They will. There are places in the Muslim world where Islam itself is being pushed down.
01:07:52 -->
01:08:08
In my personal opinion, you do not have to agree with this in my personal opinion. Our job is not to
rebel against government agencies and fight against them and do in my personal opinion, it has only
produced more bloodshed
01:08:09 -->
01:08:14
in my personal opinion, in a grassroots teaching of Islam,
01:08:15 -->
01:08:18
because the real tragedy of Islam is not political. To me.
01:08:19 -->
01:08:27
The real tragedy of Islam is not economic. The real tragedy of Islam is intellectual, and spiritual.
01:08:28 -->
01:08:43
When young people are no longer convinced that Islam is the truth, what is happening in the Arab
world must be this empty mall is full. That's not the places where there's war happening and places
that are safe right now. Where are you?
01:08:44 -->
01:09:20
Where are the young people? They are, and most of them, if you even talk to them a little bit about
Islam, they get annoyed, they get angry. And that's in the Muslim world. That is the ultimate
emergency of Islam. Our problem is not government's. Our problem is not secularism, that's not our
problem. How did we get there, there were these people who are running the governments now and
believe in these things. Now, one, once upon a time, they were youth. And when they were youth, they
did not receive yet him it was us akiem. And that's what brought them over there.
01:09:22 -->
01:09:59
If we don't think about the next hunt, we keep thinking about what's happening right now, we have to
think what's going to happen in 100 years. If we don't produce a change in thinking, then you will
not see a change. You cannot even if you change and you fight and you win, you didn't change the
thinking of people, which means they'll come back again. And you'll go back again and they'll come
back and he'll go back again. The real battle is the Battle of thought, the Battle of influence. And
that battle can only be won by the Koran, I would argue that can only be won by the Quran and people
who say you can bring immediate change. If you
01:10:00 -->
01:10:16
immediate change could be brought and would have been brought by the School of Law himself so in the
long run to send them there is no such thing as an immediate change. There's no such thing there's
only chaos. There's only such good demand that's all that it brings. And that's my position on the
issue. Sharma Okay. Thank you very much,
01:10:18 -->
01:10:30
gentlemen. And we'd like to end the session and then after Salah is celebrated Roman will stand
behind the day we might have some further more question and answer Sharma
01:10:31 -->
01:10:36
