00:00:08 -->
00:00:09
When we want to tell
00:00:11 -->
00:00:12
when
00:00:17 -->
00:00:18
a loved
00:00:19 -->
00:00:20
one woman
00:00:28 -->
00:00:28
when
00:00:35 -->
00:00:37
you feel really lucky
00:01:02 -->
00:01:03
up
00:01:23 -->
00:01:24
Angelina
00:01:25 -->
00:01:27
Jolie is the only one
00:01:33 -->
00:01:33
lower
00:01:37 -->
00:01:38
income
00:01:40 -->
00:01:40
women
00:01:45 -->
00:02:06
and children, traditional biologists ahead of time let you know that I have mixed feelings. On the
one hand, I'm really happy to be back at this community, Michigan for about four years now. And I'm
going to be grateful for the opportunity to see familiar faces again. And I pray that this visit of
mine is accessible to Alaska, which brings good for myself and all of you.
00:02:07 -->
00:02:50
At the same time, these are also times of great tribulation for Muslims. And every few weeks,
something happens that really darkens all of our hearts, and makes all of us upset. And this is one
of those weeks, if you're keeping up with the news, you know what I'm talking about, you know, about
the protests that are happening all over many parts of the Arab world, and probably in the Muslim
world, by extension, in response to certain inflammatory productions, you know, very poor quality.
And I want to start with, even though that is the topic of my talk today, from a US perspective, I
want to start by saying that those videos, or that video in particular had not even 30 hits before
00:02:50 -->
00:02:52
the Muslims started paying attention.
00:02:53 -->
00:03:05
And so the fact that it's come to the attention that has come, we have become the best advertising
agency for that ridiculous stupid film. We've done that nobody else, nobody was paying attention to
that.
00:03:06 -->
00:03:56
And, you know, I want to, I want to talk today, I know there are many people sitting before me
today, but today's profile is dedicated to my angry young Muslim brother, if you don't already know
62%, of the Muslim, that is alive, is 30 are under the age of 30. The vast majority of this movement
is youth. And so I dedicated this particular call, but in this time of anger in reaction to my young
Muslim Brothers, and that young brother of mine who feel that in the profit of the loss of a loved
one is insulted that he was insulted and he should do something about that. And his blood boil is
when the messenger alive he saw that it is spoken of in a way that deserves to be spoken of even the
00:03:56 -->
00:03:58
slightest insult to Our Messengers
00:03:59 -->
00:04:17
is enough, is enough to take all the happiness and joy out of your life and maybe forget all of it.
Because our love for him is that intense people of other religions asked why are you Muslim so crazy
when people make fun of Jesus on Fox TV, even though they claim to love Jesus and they also show
00:04:19 -->
00:04:21
when they made fun of Jesus on TV?
00:04:23 -->
00:04:26
He will make fun of Moses all the time. You don't go crazy.
00:04:31 -->
00:04:47
Muslims can say anything you don't you understand the concept of freedom of speech. Why don't you go
crazy and our usual response and you might think this was gonna be my response to this is that you
know, you don't know what love is. You don't know you think you love Jesus?
00:04:49 -->
00:04:59
York and that's why we go like crazy, but that is not my response to that is not my response today.
My response to that my first response to that question is asking is
00:05:00 -->
00:05:01
How can I?
00:05:04 -->
00:05:05
How can I be
00:05:08 -->
00:05:10
the most messenger
00:05:22 -->
00:05:22
four times
00:05:24 -->
00:05:24
that is
00:05:26 -->
00:05:27
mentioned by
00:05:29 -->
00:05:32
70 plus times in the Quran
00:05:35 -->
00:05:40
a lot, a lot when Jesus is made fun of and he's made fun of a lot.
00:05:46 -->
00:05:59
So first of all, there's something even problematic about the way we emotionally respond to things
that we find offensive. Already problematic. But you could say no, no, but I'm gonna give a special
honor to
00:06:05 -->
00:06:07
a special honor but it is the same
00:06:10 -->
00:06:11
person.
00:06:13 -->
00:06:15
Mussolini, Juliana
00:06:17 -->
00:06:18
is the one who said he's the one
00:06:20 -->
00:06:30
I want to start this conversation with his young son, brother of mine. This is a young Muslim, I
want to start this conversation with one thing, the honor of our messenger,
00:06:32 -->
00:06:38
the nobility to respect the love of our messenger, the status of our messenger
00:06:40 -->
00:06:42
is not something we give him.
00:06:43 -->
00:06:55
It's not something that comes from human beings, it came from the sky. It came from Allah. Nobody
can take it away. Because it comes from the sky.
00:06:56 -->
00:07:03
The iron is coming from the sky, people can burn copies of it, people can make fun of it, people can
make
00:07:07 -->
00:07:07
it home.
00:07:09 -->
00:07:09
Because
00:07:14 -->
00:07:18
these insults are messengers, our is
00:07:21 -->
00:07:22
our messenger.
00:07:26 -->
00:07:26
Listen, there's
00:07:27 -->
00:07:34
nothing he can be. And so this conversation, first of all, shouldn't be bothering you. If you
shouldn't be
00:07:36 -->
00:07:38
you should feel sorry for them.
00:07:39 -->
00:07:43
You should feel sorry, I'm stupid. And on Saturday are they can hurt,
00:07:44 -->
00:07:45
they can't hurt.
00:07:47 -->
00:07:57
They can even be the only one they can hurt themselves. That's the only one they can hurt. But I
want to go further into football and I ended individually.
00:08:04 -->
00:08:05
You're the defendant.
00:08:07 -->
00:08:07
You want to
00:08:09 -->
00:08:11
learn a few things about him first.
00:08:12 -->
00:08:14
Who was going to insult
00:08:16 -->
00:08:58
more than the people that were screaming at his face, the people that were cursing him out in front
of him, the people that were calling him all kinds of things to his face every single day. And who
is listening to those insults. It's not just the messenger of the loss of a loved party for them.
It's one of his companions of the leaves. The messenger listening to the message will be insulted.
And what's more, is that a long way to prepare you and the need for something that you should know
that as much as we love and honor and respect our messengers get used to the fact that humanity can
hate the messenger and that's so much have you managed to get insulted messenger and saying hurtful
00:08:58 -->
00:09:04
mean violent, disgusting things about their messengers, and so much so that we recite those insults
with
00:09:05 -->
00:09:05
your
00:09:07 -->
00:09:07
phone
00:09:09 -->
00:09:12
calls or insults against our messenger and other messengers.
00:09:14 -->
00:09:15
A lot of recordings that
00:09:17 -->
00:09:18
we recite that will be recycled.
00:09:20 -->
00:09:23
So we know this is not something new. How dare they?
00:09:25 -->
00:09:26
What do you mean?
00:09:28 -->
00:09:33
What do you mean? What are you reading? And what was the reaction?
00:09:34 -->
00:09:35
How did he respond?
00:09:37 -->
00:09:38
I'm reminded of a
00:09:39 -->
00:09:43
couple of different narrations, the promises alone, sitting next.
00:09:50 -->
00:09:51
Once
00:09:53 -->
00:09:54
or twice.
00:09:58 -->
00:09:59
Once, twice, three times.
00:10:00 -->
00:10:04
Third time, he got up, he couldn't take it anymore. Cuz his
00:10:05 -->
00:10:10
family, the mother, sister, the daughter, you know, the people don't have to respect
00:10:12 -->
00:10:13
another guy.
00:10:18 -->
00:10:19
And he only got up on the stage with this guy.
00:10:22 -->
00:10:24
Maybe we should start this whole thing is coffee.
00:10:27 -->
00:10:30
So these are the profits in front of
00:10:31 -->
00:10:34
you and I love the messenger a lot, but we're not going to compare it to the level
00:10:40 -->
00:10:41
not take
00:10:47 -->
00:10:47
the moment
00:10:50 -->
00:10:51
and walk the other way.
00:10:56 -->
00:11:00
Or should I go up to my messenger. So he goes after the message
00:11:02 -->
00:11:03
and says I did something wrong.
00:11:06 -->
00:11:12
And a couple verses of this, so long as you were sitting, there were angels surrounding us
00:11:14 -->
00:11:17
shall be into weapons, and angels.
00:11:19 -->
00:11:20
That's what the public tells us.
00:11:21 -->
00:11:26
The proper training is, this is how you deal with when I insulted
00:11:29 -->
00:11:33
the patient, I'm reminded of the incident of fire.
00:11:34 -->
00:11:38
These people didn't just hurt the profits on the left margin to them with their words.
00:11:39 -->
00:11:48
In their words, he almost killed him. There's so many young hoodlums from the streets and are having
a public follow.
00:11:50 -->
00:11:51
As he grows and the
00:11:54 -->
00:12:02
bleeding edge he is take his hand and grab the blood before it hits the ground because he knows if
it hits the ground, Alexander will come
00:12:03 -->
00:12:06
to be a witness that they shed a messenger
00:12:08 -->
00:12:12
himself. He's worried about these people, he grabbed a blood from falling on the ground.
00:12:15 -->
00:12:21
And finally, when the offer is made, you guys learn this in Sunday school when the offer is made. He
says no, maybe the children
00:12:22 -->
00:12:25
from their children and offspring somebody might say that.
00:12:26 -->
00:12:30
And you know, the factory is actually the passing of the profits. And
00:12:31 -->
00:12:40
when the owner was in turmoil, and there were some people supporting these people were not
supporting the two tribes that held on to everything was
00:12:41 -->
00:12:44
the biggest support of holding Islam together in the time
00:12:46 -->
00:12:50
came one of the biggest supports fundamentally crucial in compiling
00:12:51 -->
00:12:53
the total profits.
00:12:55 -->
00:12:57
Because the Prophet says I shouldn't
00:12:58 -->
00:12:59
feel sorry for them.
00:13:01 -->
00:13:02
That's my heading into it.
00:13:03 -->
00:13:05
This is the attitude of mercy.
00:13:06 -->
00:13:08
This is the attitude of the brain.
00:13:12 -->
00:13:13
And you still ask
00:13:16 -->
00:13:16
me one
00:13:20 -->
00:13:23
I want to show you something else. While we're on this call
00:13:24 -->
00:13:25
the Prophet
00:13:27 -->
00:13:31
himself mentally prepared, you don't get angry, okay?
00:13:33 -->
00:13:36
over and over and over if you don't get any
00:13:42 -->
00:13:45
other messages Oh, by the institute's Okay, you're not the first one.
00:13:48 -->
00:13:52
In the beginning of this whole but be patient over whatever they're saying. What
00:13:54 -->
00:13:58
is very powerful Arabic the pitches over what ever?
00:14:04 -->
00:14:11
You say? It's more specific. So if if the I was talking about one particular thing that the profile
said the
00:14:13 -->
00:14:13
Hulu
00:14:17 -->
00:14:18
they come up with
00:14:19 -->
00:14:25
something today, they won't tell you something else tomorrow doesn't matter. You just be patient and
you
00:14:26 -->
00:14:27
feel the
00:14:29 -->
00:14:39
presence and the future in it. So what we are seeing today and what we can come up with in the
future, don't you worry about it. And these insults against the province
00:14:40 -->
00:14:43
are not just limited to him. We know that
00:14:46 -->
00:14:47
there is
00:14:48 -->
00:14:49
there's an accusation
00:14:54 -->
00:15:00
of accounts of the Prophet alayhi salaatu wa Salaam being attacked by anonymous things and even by
00:15:00 -->
00:15:01
hypocrites.
00:15:02 -->
00:15:11
Allah is not becoming of a prophet to be worldly and to have greed and to one more acquisition,
because the hypocrites, he goes into battle because he wants more.
00:15:14 -->
00:15:15
He wants more. That's why he wants
00:15:19 -->
00:15:19
the public.
00:15:27 -->
00:15:27
Most people
00:15:36 -->
00:15:36
flipping over
00:15:38 -->
00:15:38
the grass,
00:15:42 -->
00:15:42
the Jews,
00:15:44 -->
00:15:47
the Jews were the ones who survived. Let's kill them.
00:15:50 -->
00:15:54
You know, what is the Columbus? Where do we come?
00:15:59 -->
00:16:00
Do you really want to be?
00:16:03 -->
00:16:04
You really want to be?
00:16:10 -->
00:16:10
What do you?
00:16:12 -->
00:16:12
You don't?
00:16:13 -->
00:16:21
It's shocking to me. At the end of this, I want to make a clear distinction to all of us about anger
itself. Because there are
00:16:27 -->
00:16:29
and I want to share a perspective.
00:16:31 -->
00:16:33
When a lot of messenger is insulted.
00:16:36 -->
00:16:40
Allah tells His Messenger, that's not an authentic issue.
00:16:55 -->
00:16:56
Messenger.
00:17:01 -->
00:17:02
Messenger.
00:17:04 -->
00:17:06
Messenger. Messenger.
00:17:07 -->
00:17:18
I have a right to be angry, not you. This is my this is insulting me. The anger herself. Anger is
deserved by Allah. But then
00:17:19 -->
00:17:20
my
00:17:25 -->
00:17:25
initial model.
00:17:28 -->
00:17:32
Let's explore that a little bit, I'll just give you one small incident to give you an appreciation.
00:17:33 -->
00:17:55
We live in a country in the United States, we're surrounded by the Christian community. I mean,
you're in the Midwest, not four blocks go by you run into a church, I live in Texas, we're pretty
much mega churches are known. Right? It's hard to find us radio, it's easy to find Christian talk
radio. That's, that's that's the reality of our time. So we're surrounded by Christians. And then
you know, you read
00:17:57 -->
00:17:57
about people who say,
00:18:01 -->
00:18:02
for one example,
00:18:04 -->
00:18:07
when somebody says that our mind has taken
00:18:09 -->
00:18:12
easy to say, Oh, Jesus, God, you know,
00:18:13 -->
00:18:16
just easy things to come out of their mouth.
00:18:22 -->
00:18:25
Those little words, imagine, I want you to think about this.
00:18:26 -->
00:18:46
If there's a Christian on the outside of this building, right on this other side of this wall, and
he says God is just saying get hungry, could you know, his voice cannot have approval. And I know,
Allah says, every time this these words are other, the voice travels, the entire skies and the
00:18:48 -->
00:18:50
entire university.
00:18:51 -->
00:19:05
And it's about the material it can take. It's almost destroyed. That's how offended the entire
creation of a lot is. When it's said that Allah has taken assignment.
00:19:06 -->
00:19:15
We don't use it. But in the entire scars are like that. That's how offensive all our times when
somebody says God is taken.
00:19:17 -->
00:19:18
That's the anger.
00:19:20 -->
00:19:20
And
00:19:23 -->
00:19:24
Christians
00:19:25 -->
00:19:27
come to me with our messenger.
00:19:29 -->
00:19:37
They hear he's a messenger, he claims to be fulfilling the word of revelation that came before so
they come to meet with me. And these are people that worship
00:19:38 -->
00:19:59
at a point where these discussions are happening. And you know what, back in the day, they did not
have the Marriott or the Hilton, or the Holiday Inn where these questions going to stay. And these
are Christian ministers. These are priests. These are representatives of their religion. These are
people the ambassadors of the Christian faith. Where are they going to say
00:20:01 -->
00:20:01
profits,
00:20:03 -->
00:20:05
decides they will stay in
00:20:12 -->
00:20:13
the profits.
00:20:15 -->
00:20:18
They're gonna pray in the in the first University,
00:20:19 -->
00:20:25
the University that teaches Islam, they're gonna pray to inside
00:20:28 -->
00:20:49
the one place that now become the center of London at that point in Medina, for preaching your key a
bunch of people are seeing inside, and they're calling on Jesus Lord, that makes a lot happier,
angry, extremely angry, but who is supposed to be soft and courteous and understanding and not be
upset and be generous? And you know, the
00:20:51 -->
00:20:52
alarm has a right to be angry.
00:20:54 -->
00:20:55
You and I don't
00:20:56 -->
00:20:58
have a master he owns human beings,
00:21:01 -->
00:21:02
other human beings?
00:21:05 -->
00:21:08
Is he worried about them?
00:21:14 -->
00:21:14
He says,
00:21:23 -->
00:21:23
He says,
00:21:25 -->
00:21:30
Don't Don't worry about them so much. That's what he tells us.
00:21:33 -->
00:21:33
What is
00:21:36 -->
00:21:41
reaction after reaction after reaction? And I argue and people say Why?
00:21:43 -->
00:21:47
Why do people get so worked up, and people give different kinds of VISA credit card
00:21:50 -->
00:22:02
drives us crazy. That's why you know, in Pakistan, and in you know, Libya and Egypt, we're gonna put
some cars over, I'm going to turn this one guy. So we're gonna bring it down to the level of
messenger.
00:22:04 -->
00:22:08
That's the level of the messenger. That's what we've come to.
00:22:12 -->
00:22:30
I know there are other social, economic political turmoil, these people aren't just protesting
because of one issue, there's a lot more depth to this problem. But when you and I or any other
Muslim, for that matter, start saying that this is part of Islam, then this is something that should
This should make us
00:22:32 -->
00:22:34
say that the Muslims are frustrated,
00:22:36 -->
00:22:41
to have economic issues, social issues, political issues, social justice issues, don't bring this
into
00:22:43 -->
00:22:45
my leaders freedom, this.
00:22:47 -->
00:22:50
It doesn't deserve this. It deserves to be honored.
00:22:52 -->
00:22:53
And so just
00:22:54 -->
00:22:56
want to share with you before I let you guys go
00:22:58 -->
00:23:01
for my young Muslim brother, once again, for my life.
00:23:03 -->
00:23:09
Our job in this world today is to be ambassadors of this thing
00:23:10 -->
00:23:14
is to let people know what is done is your neighbors, you
00:23:15 -->
00:23:21
know, there are people who live next door to the machine for 20 years, and they don't know what this
00:23:25 -->
00:23:28
is Muslims, they come and depart from Iran. And they go and
00:23:30 -->
00:23:32
we try to try to set a petition against them.
00:23:34 -->
00:23:35
That's probably how they park in Pakistan.
00:23:37 -->
00:23:38
And that's why we go crazy.
00:23:40 -->
00:23:44
We don't know what we know. One thing is these guys and Muslims, they
00:23:45 -->
00:23:46
come back.
00:23:51 -->
00:23:53
And you know, what's even more sad?
00:23:54 -->
00:24:03
To see that all over the world is watching this ridiculously stupid film are the same viewers that
have never even read the entire book.
00:24:05 -->
00:24:06
They've never even read the book.
00:24:11 -->
00:24:11
You'll see.
00:24:14 -->
00:24:16
The real issue isn't that we love our messenger more.
00:24:18 -->
00:24:23
So the real issue is we don't have a fundamental education in our own.
00:24:25 -->
00:24:49
That's the real issue. We don't know that it makes a civil makes us makes us patient makes us not
reactionary. It gives us control over our emotions. It doesn't let us run by our emotions. It
doesn't turn us into the lab rats. It's not like you know these people, they want to make money.
That's all of this to them. So they don't make something offensive about Muslims. Watch it go man.
We're gonna go we're gonna go.
00:24:51 -->
00:24:51
We're gonna go
00:24:53 -->
00:24:59
because we know what the muscles are gonna do. They're like a bunch of lab rats. You can play with
them a sled and poke them a little bit crazy.
00:25:00 -->
00:25:08
And we play right into it every time. And the only one that benefits from this are the people who
started the offenses to begin with. They're the only ones to
00:25:10 -->
00:25:17
only one. And if there's anything that's hard, it's the effort of doubt. That's the only thing
that's fun. Now
00:25:19 -->
00:25:22
I can talk to them a lot, I can talk to them about the messenger.
00:25:29 -->
00:25:30
I know you saw on CNN,
00:25:34 -->
00:25:35
or something,
00:25:36 -->
00:25:46
the conversations changed. And anymore, because I can talk about the stupidity of a young, immature
Muslim, who's easily manipulated.
00:25:48 -->
00:25:59
We are irresponsible to educate our youth, and the youth across the online to become mature in your
response, to hold their emotions. To respond to intellectual.
00:26:00 -->
00:26:15
To respond with this allows I was I took the most insulting things that were said about the
processor and gave intellectual responses in Go for it. This is our religion. Two thirds have a
conversation with people who don't even believe in
00:26:17 -->
00:26:17
mechanical
00:26:19 -->
00:26:39
recycling to people who don't even believe and they were insulting, in fact, criticizing it. And
there was a discussion happening without anybody trying to kill anybody else. And if anything, they
tried to kill Muslims, and actually referred to that entire era of conversation between Muslims and
Muslims, refers to that decade back.
00:26:42 -->
00:26:44
You remember when the policy was to
00:26:45 -->
00:26:53
hold your hand back, you remember those days when your instructions were don't mind just discuss,
remember that.
00:26:54 -->
00:26:56
We have to remind ourselves
00:27:01 -->
00:27:47
we have to start stopping one thing. One thing here one thing here would be here to look at the
whole look at the entire picture that is presented in this book. I've admitted that allows us if a
proper education in his book, these things will not go away. His reaction to this ignorance will not
go away. These challenges will not go away. Until we get a proper attention in a lot of code that
not just affects our artists. It gives keys to our It doesn't just affect our lives. It gives peace
to our hearts. We educate ourselves, our families and our entire oma the way it's supposed to limit
the amount of darkness suffers from male allies. Those who can speak the word of truth courageously
00:27:47 -->
00:27:59
and be able to engage with each other in civil, respectful disagreement when the time comes, and the
allies of those who truly represent the beauty of this team, to their neighbors and to the world
around us.
00:28:01 -->
00:28:03
Again, when I finally went
