Amina Latina, Amina Mohammed all started with us we'll be happy, but also the sub Armenian army.
		

			Today Samba is at one level very simple, but at another can be very complicated. I asked Allah azza
wa jal to give me clarity and speech. So I'm able to communicate these teachings that reflect the
the message of the Quran in a way that is balanced. So I'll start by talking to you a little bit
about the importance of balance in delivering an understanding a message, sometimes you see
something wrong, and you point out that it's wrong. And when you point out that it's wrong, you can
go to the other extreme. So in correcting something wrong, maybe 80% of it is wrong. 20% of it,
there's nothing wrong with it, right? But in overcorrecting, now you're even making something that
		

			has nothing wrong with it also wrong. So we have to have a balanced approach when we criticize
something, that there's some element of truth in it. And that's not what's being criticized. The
same way, when you praise something you can't overpraise you can something maybe 50% praiseworthy,
and the other 50% isn't, we have to be precise and balanced. In our approach, we're living in a time
where things become 100% or 0%, ultra quickly, if someone is wrong, everything about them is wrong.
If an idea is wrong, every tenet of that idea is wrong. So people have to choose sides. And when
they two sides, all the nuances, and all the pieces of that puzzle that may not have anything wrong
		

			with them also have to become wrong, because you have to show your loyalty to this side or the
other, we have to have everything figured out as black and white. And it doesn't work like that.
Sometimes there's a lot of gray in the middle. And the Quran is very sophisticated in that it
addresses things that are wrong in very precise ways. And what is not wrong and something Allah does
not criticize. Allah does not just make blanket statements. So that's one kind of caveat, a
disclaimer that I wanted to make myself mindful of and all of you mindful of, in, in before I enter
into this topic, on its own. And just to give you an idea of how this can work, for example, if
		

			somebody is talking about modesty, and what is modest behavior, and they point out one or two things
that a person should do in order to engage in modest behavior. And a person can overreact and say,
Well, are you saying I can't do anything? Is everything impossible? So they take one or two things
that are not allowed? And then they over react and say, well, you're saying all of it is wrong, or
none of it is acceptable, etc, etc. Right? So this is this is a delicate topic, a sensitive one but
a really important one in the Quran. And the way to start with this with this subject is to actually
describe how what was given by Allah to all of the prophets and the perfection of it given to the
		

			civil law. So the law news and the final messenger is something actually pretty revolutionary.
What's the problem?
		

			socialism was given is extremely revolutionary. Why is it revolutionary because, you know, you have
in religions across the world before Islam, or the what used to be the religion of truth or the
twisted versions of a religion, whether they are the ancient Egyptian religions, whether they have
to do with China, whether they have to do with the Indian religions, whether they have to, it
doesn't matter which religion you're talking about, there was a consistent theme, among many, and
one of those themes was, you don't have a direct connection to the divine, you have to go through
someone to make the divine happen, whether you have to go through a saint, whether you have to go
		

			through a holy person, whether you have to go through someone who is priestly, they have a
connection to the unseen, you don't, you need to go to them to get your prayers answered, to get
your wishes met, you need to make some kind of sacrifice to this sub God to make the ultimate God
happy. There's always an intermediate is always someone in between, that has to be pleased. And so
these people in between become holy, their holy people, their sacred people, they're, you know, if
they're happy with you, then God or whatever divine being you believe in is happy with you, if
they're not happy with you, then God is not happy with you. So they become sort of ambassadors of
		

			the ultimate divine being. And in doing so they become almost like the manifestation of the Divine
on Earth. So we can see God, we can see the ultimate power, but we see his representatives here,
these authorized people on his behalf. They're the holy people, they're the sacred people, they're
the seats, right. And these seeds, this, this concept, became a means of terrible corruption in the
world. Because when you hand someone this power, and you say this person, at the end of the day, all
human beings are created equal, we believe that and that seems like a pretty simple thing to say.
But actually, this is not the belief of a lot of humanity across history. Human beings did not were
		

			not believed to be created equal. Some people were believed to be creative, superior, or they're
partly divine, they're higher and holier than everyone else. They're on a different, they're on a
different caliber, you can't touch them. You can't ever reach their status. And because they have
this status, they're beyond criticism. You can't say anything about them. You can't question any of
their behavior, and whatever they say, is the same as God Himself speaking. That's actually the case
that you can't question them questioning them is questioning God Himself, or questioning the
ultimate authority themselves. They have all the answers. So when they tell you something, you don't
		

			have the right to think for yourself and say, No, that doesn't make sense, they will do the thinking
for you. They will tell you what you need to do what you shouldn't do, if you want to be successful
do this, this this, if you want this wish answered do this, this, this, follow these, these these
rituals, they will have the prescription for life, these intermediaries were set up in different
cultures in different societies around the world. And sometimes these took the form of idols, if not
people that took the form of idols, idols also represented people that died a long time ago. And now
their memory is this idol. Right? And so you come to the statue, and you you make wishes to it, even
		

			though you know, this statue is not a living being in represents the soul or the spirit of someone
who's connected to a higher power, right. And this whole setup is a really good scheme, because this
way, the people who are supposedly holier they can make a lot of money.
		

			And they can they have a lot of power, they can tell people to do whatever they want them to, they
want to say, and yield whatever control in society they want. They can get away with all kinds of
things. Because when they do something they can't be told you did right or you did wrong because
whatever they do is God's ordained will. Right so they're beyond reproach, beyond criticism. Then
comes the true message of religion, which is the religion of this this Deen Islam which was given to
all the prophets and again, the perfection of it to our messenger sallallahu sallam, which destroys
the idea of anyone in between.
		

			And how does it destroy that idea? First of all, every human being is a slave directly of Allah. You
don't go through anyone. In fact, you don't even go through a prophet. A prophet is not telling you,
you know, make me happy, and I'll put in a word to God. I'll put it in a word. Well, that's not what
prophets are saying. prophets are simply saying, Allah wealthier and be mindful of Allah yourselves
and follow what I'm doing meaning follow me as in I'm being mindful of Allah. So learn how to be
mindful of Allah by following my way. So they're actually not calling themselves you know, how many
times our messenger has been told I out like these. You know, I'm in
		

			you know, Russia. I'm nothing but a human being. I'm just another person you hire in India. You
know, call in them. I never shall Miss Lou Haley.
		

			Certain calf, just as the slave just a human being just like you The only difference is revelation
was given to me. What's that revolution? I know my Allahu Mila Why? God is a single God.
		

			In other words, he's not even asking people to deify him. Now notice the difference, our messengers,
his status, we know we can't even say his name without saying some of the lower I mean, he was
under. But when he was sitting in a gathering, you couldn't tell which one is the profit. In fact,
people used to walk in sometimes and not know, and they would start showing respect, we'll look at a
Cydia called the alarm. And you know, he wrong address is over there. You know, and they wanted to
put some kind of a throne or some kind of a special see, you know, so he's a little bit higher, and
he refused the throne. So they actually put a dirt mound, so the dirt is a little higher than what
		

			he's sitting on. Now compare this to people that are ordained or considered holy, in whatever,
whatever temple or church or whatever other setup, right in any other religion, you will notice the
holy person when they walk in, everybody knows who that is. They got a different outfit. They look
like they look different. They expect a different reaction from everyone. So when people come in,
they want to kiss their hands, everybody's kind of, you know, bowing down, you know, and they have
this this royal garden they have almost like a throne where they said, when people come before them,
like they come before a king, they have this high and holy status. And this is something Islam
		

			completely rejected. By even the way the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam carried himself the way
that he walked and talked throughout his career as a messenger. So there's no special holding for
him. There's no special rain or special, you know, demarcation special cloak. He's dressed like
everybody else. He's eating like everybody else has no special food for him. You know, but you what
you have in certain religions is when the holy person arrives, nobody can touch the food until he
takes the first bite. Or nobody better, you better not sit down before you kiss his hand over you
know, you show some kind of humility to this person. If there was ever a person that we should show
		

			humility to, it would have been assumed Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, you understand that
right? But what's happened in religions around the world and the crazy thing, this is the part that
makes this difficult to talk about is this happened in the Muslim culture. Islam came to get rid of
this idea that certain people are more sacred than others. And the prophets I set up in his last
sermon, his last football said that all of us, though, our colors don't make a difference. The
colors of our skin don't make a difference. The only thing that puts one in a place higher than
anyone else is stuck in the heart. So the the only way one person is better than the other is the
		

			taqwa of Allah. And where is the taqwa less describes it himself in their daily comment upon pulu.
That is something that that one that lies inside the hearts. It's inside the heart. Now, here's the
fun thing. No human being has been given the ability to look inside and other human beings heart.
		

			So if DACA is inside the heart, there's no way for me to know if you have to or not, and there's no
way for you to know if I have to or not, it doesn't matter if I'm praying the huddled or reciting
Quran all day are going to Hajj every year, or I look a certain way I have a certain appearance that
makes me look, there's a couple outfits nowadays, right? There's a person that looks at there's got
they've got a taco face. They've got taco headgear, right, they've got taco vocabulary. So when
they, when they say those kinds of words, on the look that kind of way, male or female, and that is
a person of duck wha it's like we've got the whole costumes. You know? And if you if you look this
		

			way, then you're sacred. If you don't look this way, I mean, come on.
		

			I realized how serious this is, in our culture, in across Muslim cultures. how serious this issue
is, we take it lightly, but I think it is a very serious thing, because it cuts up one of the most
fundamental teachings of our religion. When I first started getting involved in giving club many,
many years ago, I decided that I I was influenced by certain people who said that you if you dress
in like a suit and a tie or you dress like Western clothing, a T shirt or shirt, whatever, this is
the way the kuffar dress, this is not the way of the Muslims, this is not the way of the solid
thing, etc, etc. You should dress like, you know, the the Muslims and the idea of dressing of the
		

			Muslims was dressing like an Arab and not the Arab of ancient times because they didn't wear robes
like the winter now. You understand that? If they were thobes, then they couldn't ride a horse. You
understand that? Right? And you don't run in a battlefield with dopes like these how are you going
to run these steps? I gotta run the battlefield on the sword. That's that's not what people were
back then. But we have this cultural thing that if you're more Islamic, you're going to dress a
certain way and I was influenced by that. So I had a turban and I had a woman I had the whole look
you know the whole I mean, I used to in Long Island and walk out sometimes and some people say man
		

			oh my god look like Jesus. Like I got that sometimes. Right. But you know what happened I would give
up and I was like 20
		

			Three years old.
		

			I'm not a holy person, but people are. Elder men are coming up to 67 year old men 80 year old men
are coming up to me trying to kiss my hand
		

			trying to get me shaky almost in recruiting to shake my hand and then bringing their children to me
to for me to pack their heads and to make to offer them I got disturbed by this entire scene like,
Man, I'm gonna finish hold well pray my son nine, I'm gonna play basketball with some guys outside.
And then we're gonna go and some pizza. Like I'm just a regular person who just happened to give
this callback because I was asked to give a I'm not a holy saint or whatever, you guys are making me
out to me right? Pretty soon I'm going to be wearing a T shirt and, you know, some sneakers and
suffered a lot.
		

			But the impact the the garb was actually enough for someone to say, Oh my god, this is uh oh, I just
want to stop I just walked in. Like, there's so much new around, it's not numeral abroad, that's
just a costume. Let's just close and I'm not criticizing Arab clothing or a turban or none of those
things. But those clothings belong to a culture Listen, if you lived in the time of the Prophet if
there was a time machine and you traveled immediately right from right now to Macau in the time of
the Prophet station, and Abu Jamal came out of his house with a beard with a bow with a turban on
you would say Mashallah
		

			that's because that's what you that's what they look like the but we have this thing about a certain
appearance is actually holy. And another kind of appearance isn't clothing doesn't matter which
culture it comes from doesn't determine whether or not you have adequate clothing clothing in our
religion has guidelines. There's no guidelines don't dress like an American drunk a second
Australian don't dress like a you know Canadians are kind okay. And you know, you know, dress and so
that guidance of Allah the guidelines, what is I? What are what should be covered, what conditions
should be met, those conditions are met now dress, dress in a Chinese outfit. rasuna Bengali outfit
		

			dress in an American who cares? The conditions are met. Islam came to liberate us from artificial
standards of holiness.
		

			And the only one who determines where you stand, that was a coup. And for second Quran says openly,
not just going full circle who are the movie Manitoba? don't declare yourselves holy and sacred and
pure. He knows better who has stuff. If Allah says Who are the mu? We say this phrase all the time,
right? Allahu Allah. Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah. Allah, Allah, Allah means I don't know me, Allah
knows. Allah says,
		

			Taka. He is the one who knows better who has stuck. So I don't get to say that you have it more or I
have it more. Somebody who has more knowledge doesn't mean they have more dupois someone who has
memorized more code and doesn't mean they have more taqwa. In fact, this is not so you can put down
people a just because you're a half does doesn't mean you have done well. But that you're you and
nothing. No, no, this is the other way. When you see someone and you they don't look the part.
		

			They don't look holy to you. They will look like a Mullah or a Milena or Shea or whatever, they
don't look like they don't have that outfit. Then you and I can't assume this person has stuff for
me. I wish they had the one. Because if they had the ancient outfit on, then they would they would
be more Islamic. Right? So appearances became very important to us. And this is actually another
form of creating people between us and Allah. Why? Because what we did next, not only did we
consider certain people that look a certain way, or act a certain way or associated a certain way,
we considered those people holier then we figured that our dogs and our decisions for our life are
		

			worthless because these are the holy people so they should decide for us. We should ask them what we
should do. We should ask them to make do out for us because our demise pointless. Shall please make
law for him.
		

			You know you're you Mashallah You're such a person of you know, adorable remembering Allah azza wa
jal you have such a high macom you have such a high Did you check my heart to see what station I
have on my arm? If you don't you don't know anybody else's? How do you know someone else's that is
more sacred for you, because we have this assumption that some people are holier than others. And,
and, you know, the crazy part is that some people really like it.
		

			They like being considered holy. They like being considered elevated status. So they'll still walk
in and I've seen this with my own eyes, and I'm personally disgusted by it. They'll walk and they'll
have students or people that consider them a mentor. And they're walking behind them with their,
with their shoes, or with their bag half and Riku or like this, like an entourage the holy person
and then the
		

			The people behind them, what is this? And I was in a gathering of such I won't name people I was in
such a gathering one time, and the person came and they sat down. And everybody one by one went to
kiss their hand. And it looked like when the pope visits someplace, right? And I was like, Yeah, no,
I don't know if you watch them first. I'm not doing that sounds like someone
		

			has a very normal conversation. And the people that were saying, Ah,
		

			can you do that?
		

			People talk to the Messenger of Allah or something directly, didn't they?
		

			strangers would come up to him and talk to him.
		

			And here you have a person who expect he'll even stick his hand out, hey, you didn't pay your
respects. It's just the mafia.
		

			You didn't kiss the ring, you know? And do this, this culture gets created. And then it goes to
other extremes. What extremes can it go to? It can go to a point where these things turn into cults.
I don't know, I can't name my baby. Because I didn't ask my holy Shea. They didn't they didn't check
with the divine to say, What What should I name my child? Should I should I marry this person? or
divorce this person? Should I do this? Should I do that all major decisions, this person is making
major decisions in your life for you, because you handed them this authority, but somehow they're
connected to the higher power, which is no different than the priest in ancient Egypt, that used to
		

			answer people's own questions is no different. It's just an Islamic outfit. But that's, that's it's
the same exact thing. It's the same exact kind of intermediary between you and Allah, that Islam
came to destroy.
		

			And then if even if people don't go to the level where they are worshipping them, or considering
them divinely connected, then there's lesser forms of this. And the lesser forms of this are. Okay,
so somebody benefited from learning from from an email from a teacher, let's just even take, I'll
take my own email, somebody benefited from learning from me, if anybody, and I have many students,
but if anybody is a serious student of mine, they know one thing for sure. They know one thing for
very, very sure. I tell them before I'm anything else, I'm a student myself. I tell them, when you
find something more convincing, you go with it. I tell them, I'm not offended that you're learning
		

			from someone else, or you're learning something that contradicts what I taught you. Because you have
to follow the truth. Not a person should benefit from every teacher you possibly can. But no one is
beyond mistake, no one is beyond criticism. And even when you criticize, now, all this time, I'm
telling you, these people aren't holy, I'm not only nobody else's holy, that doesn't mean that
they're not worthy of respect either. You can remember I said the beginning balance. So the other
extreme happens, none of these people are worth anything. So you know what we owe each other a
common respect, a common respect. In fact, for me, as controversial as it might sound, anybody who's
		

			ever taught me anything, whether they're Muslim or not, whether they're Hindu, whether they're an
atheist, whether they're a Christian, whether they're an Islamic scholar, anybody who's ever taught
me anything I have lifelong respect for,
		

			I just have respect for them.
		

			Because knowledge itself is sacred. Now that person may do things I don't agree with, they may have
other ideas I don't agree with but even my disagreements, never take away my respect for them.
		

			But my appreciation of them never makes them into a holy figure for me that no matter what they say
is right either. There's a balance. And that balance is pretty common sense. But unfortunately, in
many cultures, this common sense disappears. And cults are formed. These sacred people then tell
you, we will tell you what you should listen to and not listen to. We will tell you what is halal
for you and what is haram for you. We will tell you what is right for you don't think for yourself,
the ship is thinking for you. With that in mind that the topic of this hotel is who are the friends
of Allah. Why? Because this is one of the most abused in my opinion abuse terms in our, in our
		

			culture. Only Allah Alia, the people that are friends of Allah, we use this term in our culture for
you know, in order the same word punchy personality, bongiovi Logan, in other words, they're like
they've got some high status, they are so close to Allah, they're like on the 100 and 50th floor you
live in the basement in a way more connected to Allah than you are. So man, you can never reach
their level. Right? Those are the only of Allah. So when they walk in, you should just Humble
yourself and you should, you know, run to get there whatever Divine Wisdom they have to drop on you.
Right? So listen to how Allah describes only Allah let this is what I'll conclude my hobo today.
		

			And what xojo says, and I will get to the IP and this is I actually I number 62 and 63 absolute
units, right, but I'm going to start a little bit further back and briefly translate so you can see
what the argument being built here is why allows.
		

			So first he talks about the Koran, very famous. I have talked about it before. Yeah, you understand
		

			jobs not resulting from become mushy photolemur fisu humanity people listen up the council has come
to you from your master a healing from what lies inside of the hearts. Well hold on what am I didn't
mean and a guidance and a mercy in a loving care for believers meaning the Quran is there to heal
you directly. You don't need someone else to heal your heart. You don't need someone else to cure
you of your disease. Allah has given you His Word directly you have direct access to it. You don't
need anybody else will be from the law he will be referred to he tells them by the fever of Allah
alone and by his loving care alone to be donica Yahoo because of that they should be overjoyed.
		

			Well, I only manage my own it is better than anything that they gather all tell them. A Toma, Angela
hola como rusty. Have you taken? Have you observed what Allah has sent down to you of all kinds of
risk? Meaning food, clothing, money zone list in our life? Have you ever thought about that is the
lesson down to you for Jasmine who Holla Holla Holla Holla Holla Holla Holla Ramadan, and you made
up your own versions of ramen halal for it? How dare you Allah, Allah provided you and you you come
up with your own rules. What is Allah, Allah first mentioned Quran, His revelation, then he said,
How do you make up your own rules? Right? What's he telling us? If you ever want to figure out
		

			what's halal and haram, where do you go? You go to less word, you don't go somebody else is defining
for you what you should and shouldn't do? What is halal for you and what's not? What's wrong for
you? Oh, Allah, who I think Alico Amala he's a stone did Allah authorize you tell them ask them? Did
Allah authorize you? Are you making these things up yourself? No, these people I've even seen TV
shows in Muslim countries TV shows. People call it I you know, I'm having a problem with my my
uncle. He keeps doing you know, this, that the other he's giving me a really hard time he's not
giving me my share in the inheritance. What should I do? This is all on.
		

			Read this is 43 times while standing on a chair on one leg. We're facing the window in the east,
your uncle will die.
		

			Yes, come up with this stuff. Maybe I'm exaggerating just a little bit, but might as well tell him
to do the hokey pokey and your problems against, you know, you're coming up with all kinds of made
up prescriptions for what is right for you what is wrong for you? Or they'll even tell them stop
eating chicken, that your marriage is falling? Because Because you're eating chicken what would
		

			you know? So this this thing is being critiqued and he says now when we live in afternoon alhama and
chaetomium kiama? What what is going to be what are going to be the thoughts of those who made up
these lies against a law judge on Resurrection Day in the law who fell in Ireland as well I can now
who would like a maximum Nash groan? I love this part of the eye. He says Allah has possessed a
great favor for all people as given so much favorite of people, but people are ungrateful Allah,
Allah did you such a huge favor to you that he spoke to you directly? You don't need to go through
someone to talk to Allah He spoke to you directly.
		

			That entire scheme of religion as a means of control and manipulation got destroyed by the word of
Allah. And here you are going back to that. You aren't even grateful for what you've been given
Amata kulu fishermen Omar Tacloban Quran Allah Tamar Lumina Ave la canonical Shahada Han Allah He

what to do.
		

			Everything is under Allah observation. Then he says either in a lie. Now often I lay him without a

Well, here's a 1000 step process. No, in the Quran is not 1000 cent process. It's a two step
process. He says, You had better no the friends of Allah, the protective friends of Allah, they will
have no fear on them. They will not be sad. How do I become a friend of Allah, simple under the
nominal code. They came to the faith. They came to believe in Allah and His messenger and his
revelations and then they continuously kanaya Tati Can you hear takuna canopus Madonna and

			They kept on engaging in taqwa. They kept on being mindful of Allah. They became mindful of Allah
when they could have cheated at work. They became mindful of Allah. When they could have lied about
something. They became mindful of Allah. When they guarded their eyes, they become mindful of Allah.
When they held back from saying something terrible. They became mindful of Allah when they chose not
a bad fight against somebody. They became mindful of Allah when they could have responded with an
insult and they responded with kindness. Instead, they became mindful of a lot over and over and
over. These are the people that are the Friends of a lot. And these people could be wearing a T
		

			shirt. They don't have to have a turban on
		

			these people could you know be a high school kid? They don't have to have a white beard. There could
be the algoma. Allah did not put a high like holy secret standard for what does it mean to be a less
friend, he made it so fundamental and simple. And that is the revolution of Islam. That is actually
revolutionary. Anybody can be the friend of Allah when meeting some very basic requirements under
the nominal wilcannia tahune. There is no judicial requirements, the homall which are often chaotic,
dunya phylloxera. These people will have good news in this life. I don't actually know. There's no
more further requirements.
		

			eemaan and taqwa and what did I tell you about a minute ago, only you can know where you stand. Only
I can know where I stand. Nobody else can judge that for us. So I pray we don't become victims, to
you know, Pope defying and creating, you know, you know, artificial sacredness, and supporting that
kind of artificial sickness, we should benefit from people that know more than us. We should learn
from scholars learn from people that have better character than we do, learn from their manners
learn from their other, all of that should continue. But for not for a single moment, should we
consider anyone in a place where we assume they have a higher taqwa than the rest of us. This is not
		

			what we do for ourselves. And we don't do this for others because it leads to many, many, many
problems. And it takes us away from the actual spirit and message that
		

			allows us to make us the kinds of thinkers and the kinds of the pain and the kinds of believers that
Allah wants us to be in light of His Word. Monica lovely welcome for unpacking on if I knew what
