			Santa Monica welcome Florida, everyone. Welcome back to court and 3430 100 and Arbor. I mean before
we get started in Sharla. Just a reminder that because we have the webathon and Chatelet data
tomorrow, we're going to be doubling up just 20 and just 21 inshallah Tada. So we're going to be
doing just 20 now in sheetlets on it and then you can log back in and shot lots of data at 11pm
Central Time, midnight eastern time, and shout out to Allah for just 21 in the NA so that way on
Sunday, you can join us for the webathon and remain and Charlotte's are plugged in throughout the
day, but in the night time. So again, inshallah tada 11 o'clock central tonight will be just 21
		

			please do also join us for the webinar on the nahi Tana and one of the guests for the webathon and
one of our beloved. You know instructors, one of our beloved researchers, our chief editor at
hamdulillah. Dr. Wayman, Anjem is with us tonight. Hi ecologic. Dr. Lena, how are you having
		

			to come it's a pleasure to have you. And for those that don't know and hamdulillah so make sure that
you check out the art of worship paper that Dr. Ouma wrote handed enough. On top of being our chief
editor, he has written some extremely valuable pieces of the dinner on the madonie Society. And he
chose to come in with a very light topic. His first paper for European was just the very neutral
paper he wrote on khilafah. So
		

			nothing too controversial just came right.
		

			There's a powerful paper and handed a lot of bromine on the left
		

			and provoked a lot of discussion that's still ongoing and then wrote up, you know, multiple papers,
but this one on art of worship and handled as a beautiful line of ambush. So Dr. Ron, can you just
talk just maybe a minute about snapshot of that paper in Sharla on the art of worship that she
wrote.
		

			So you know, I was thinking last Ronald on after post translating with Sally Keane What do I learn
from my data about worship? Is it a science, you know, what is it and idea came to me that it's
really an art because it's a it's a thing of beauty and you have to think about your relationship to
Allah subhanaw taala as you would if as if you were creating a piece of art and you know, everybody
comes with different strengths. And Allah subhanaw taala gives you freedom to do so many different
things in so many different ways.
		

			And just as you know, piece of art, if you will, you see its beauty once it once it comes, it comes
together at the end and then others witness the beauty of it like people, you know, witness the
beauty of your character, as it is a hadith
		

			about the people of a lot that is out who care a lot when they are seen allies mentioned. So as if
they are a piece of art, that Allah subhanaw taala is created. And anyway, that's what that's what
inspired the piece. I'm gonna say inshallah, Tada. I hope that everyone reads it, Zack, look out for
that. I have one question for Dr. Wayne before before I start, how do you feel about people that
call you Obama doesn't bother you?
		

			Well, I know one person who calls me Obama, but he you know,
		

			but my name is our way. There we go.
		

			You know, but everybody including my mom.
		

			They call me different things, whatever is easier for them because the name isn't the easiest. So I
actually do not mind I'm not offended when people try. Okay, I'm moving on. But for trivia for
everyone, without a doubt, I'll be alive on whose name was actually our way. So you're named after a
great companion about a cul de sac look here for being with us and inshallah Tada. We'll go ahead
and get started spinning out how the last lots of summers the law attorney he was talking to his
woman why law. So now is we're in just 20 we're still in makin are on. And I want to mention one
particular verse from sort of puzzles, and then I'll move on to an anchor boat. And the reason being
		

			is that I had told you all to please pay attention to a idea that connects to the previous judges.
In the previous judges we saw what ended are actually a writer called Praveen last pants are certain
sorts of show I want to warn your closest relatives to call your closest relatives to Allah first.
And we sort of talked about how the profit slice of unbuilt starting from himself I need his thought
was Salaam and then his immediate family, and then his extended relatives. And then he called the
tribes that were close to civil law when he was selling them. And that was a tough team that was a
divine order of how to actually broadcast the call of the snap. And in Sudoku puzzles, you find a
		

			very painful IRA upon the prophets of Allah and he was seldom and that is verse 56. In metadata, the
man
		

			But when I can Allaha yahi vinyasa, it is not you who guides whom you will Verily Allah subhana wa
tada or it is not you who guides whom you love. Verily It is Allah subhana wa tada who guides him He
wills. And this is something that's very profound because it comes in relation to the pain of the
prophets of Allah Hardy was seldom, at the time of the death of applauded. prophets lie some
lovable, positive and doubleton of love of the prophets lie some and protected him but other thought
it was insisting
		

			on his his ways, the ways of his forefathers and we know that in those last moments of will Jehan,
and if you if you're watching the meeting, Mohammed said alongside him series, we talked about our
beloved knowmia both prompted Apollo and caused him to be conflicted in his last moments, where the
Prophet slicin was saying to him just say that either had Lola Just give me that testimony. And I
will be able to defend your case before our last panel john on the Day of Judgment, and they
continue to prompt of alternative so that he would not give the profits by some that word and it
hurt the profit slice them deeply. And Allah subhanaw taala revealed this as a comfort to him. And
		

			Allah knows who the Moto DNR, Allah knows who those who truly are guided are. And this is something
that when you think about, you know the prophets that came before we see the pain of Ibrahim alayhis
salaam with his father, we see the pain of No How to his salon with his wife, the pain of law, tiny
salon with his wife, the pain of various profits, with their children, profits with their parents
profits with their siblings, and almost all people, all the prophets had issues with some of their
people that they love dearly. And this was a loss of hundreds I was saying to the Prophet sallallahu
so that meant to us by extension, that guidance belongs to Allah subhanaw taala and so we call and
		

			we call and we call but then we leave the rest to Allah azza wa jal and of course, this is one test
of the multiple tests and so we get into sort of an anchor boat when I'm asked what my favorite
surah in the Quran is. And of course, we've said that some of the Sahaba would mention their
favorites. Um, Kubota is one that I often think about, because it starts off right from the bat. Has
he been national in your truck? Who and your cool man now on like afternoon, do people think that
they just simply say we believe and they are left alone, that they are not to be tested, and in
reality without putting a ton alladhina and probably him, everyone that came before you was tested,
		

			the rights were tested before you whether they were prophets, or martyrs, or righteous people that
were within the stories, the context of those profits for the Ottoman Allah Allah Dena sada poliana
mendonca been and that's how Allah knows the truthfulness of the person. And we ask Allah subhanaw
taala to make us amongst them and not amongst the opposite, that Allah is mentioned. Now sutra
Angkor Wat, talks about tests as a whole, but I'll mention just a few things about the suit on child
tie, then I'll move on to Dr. Ouma COVID-19 tada shrewton Angkor Wat speaks to both. It's very
interesting because it's nothing but the morphus seating and say that part of it is Mecca prior to
		

			the hedra to Abyssinia, and Makkah prior to the hedra of Medina. So it's interesting because the
difficulty of migration, and Allah is addressing two separate contexts but within the same category
of good deeds, which is migration for the sake of a loss price on a hedgerow for the sake of Allah.
So you'll find actually both some mid mucking out in the surah and some late mechanized out. But
both sets of ions are proceeding, a very difficult choice for the believers to have to migrate for
the sake of Allah to flee with their religion and escape persecution. And you think of a hadith
where the Prophet slicin mentions the shape on coming to a person and in the context of the
		

			believers. And when a person's going to become Muslim. The shavon comes in, he says, Are you going
to become Muslim and abandon the religion of your father and your forefathers, and that person about
Islam, that person disobeyed the shape on and becomes Muslim anyway? Now, sometimes that doesn't
happen, right, which we just talked about one of those incidents where the shape ons messaging
penetrates. But then if that doesn't work, when it comes time for heads up, the person is about to
make his ra in this sequence of Hadeeth. And somehow the shape Vaughn comes in, he says, Are you
really going to leave behind your place of safety and everything you've earned everything you've
		

			worked for in your homeland, and verily, an immigrant lives like a neutered horse. It's very
interesting terminology, right? That the way that the shavon describes the vulnerability of the
refugee and the vulnerability of an immigrant in this situation, and the prophets lie some other
allow saw for hardship that that person disobeyed the shape on and makes the hero anyway, so it
wasn't easy to make kids at all, especially when all you knew was maca. And so that's where you're
seeing the difficult choice of higit or to renounce your faith and stay in Mecca, just a few ions.
What bothered
		

			Deena cafaro Latina ammonoid tiberi Sabina in our national health icon well maham behind me and I'm
an ATI alum and sheet in the humla kV one verse 12, that the unbeliever say to the believers, follow
our way and we will carry the burden of your sins. And they say they say so and they're not even
able to carry their own sins, right? They're liars, they're not able to even carry their own burden
of sins. They don't even believe in the hereafter right for them to say that will carry your sins on
top of ours as part of their mockery. But that's the way they thought about in terms of trade in
nomina, Kathy bone and verily they were liars. And according to some of the way out, this was a last
		

			ditch attempt with almond real hip hop, it'll be a long time I'm home before the hits
		

			the other soufiane and some of his peers came to him and said these things to him directly. They
said, Listen, just follow us, come back to us. We'll carry your burden on the Day of Judgment. If
there's one, don't worry about it, come back to us and we'll take care of you. And of course, they
succeeded in taking a Yash when they took his his cousin the half brother of Abuja away not by
telling him that you know, you can renounce this thumb some people did renounce Islam but but
telling him that you know, your mother is worried about you and come back to your mom and almost all
the allow to Idaho State firm, and he continued his way. And this is one of the ways that shavon
		

			comes to a person and vulnerability in the story of kaboo Medical the A lot of times when Karen
mentions that as I was being excommunicated and waiting for the revelation to come in my regard that
the king of a son, a Christian sent me a letter and he said called to a novena and all Sahiba had
Jeff Hakka went on the edge Anika la Hobi Dobie Hawaiian well I'm aware that it's come to us that
your your companion, the prophet sly Sam has abandoned you. And Allah did not put you here to be
humiliated or lost. And he said, I took that letter, and I burned it in the oven. right but like
that's how chiffon tries to come to a person when they're in that low point. Follow our ways
		

			instead. And the last times I says whether the nyjah delphina, the unknown sabudana in Allah, Allah
and rushing in and those who strive in our cause, we will guide them to our ways we will open the
doors of goodness for them, in terms of their paths to Allah subhana wa Tada. We will open for them
ways in this world as well. Finally, what to Jada kitabi 1130. Here are some in the Latina one
moment home were called to Ananda Villa De Anza. He they know onto that he they come, well, you
don't know what you can walk when the homeless theme on verse 46, as the believers are about to make
their way to Medina, Allah says, particularly with the Dalai Lama to the people of the book, are you
		

			not with them except in the best of ways, and do not accept for them that are oppressive towards you
those that are nasty and utterly unjust toward you. And say to them, we believe in what was revealed
to us and we believe in what was revealed to you, and our God is your God and we are amongst those
who submit ourselves to Allah. The scholar said this applies to the believers going to have a shot
of a sin. Yeah. And this applies to the believers going to Medina, Allah and giving them the
methodology to start with the Christians and avicennia to start from a place of we believe in what
was revealed to you in its original form, and we believe in what was revealed to us and what the
		

			Muslims that were migrating to Medina and dealing with the Jewish tribes in the Vienna we believe in
what was revealed to you and we believe in what was revealed to us I've been on vessel The law says
that this was the methodology for dealing with the People of the Book prior to both of the hingeless
since both of the Hijaz were to places where the People of the Book resided. So with that, inshallah
Tada. I will pass it on to our beloved Dr. Wayman and Charlotte's on it to take it from there but
like more
		

			is like malaria. Hello hamdulillah salat wa salam ala rasulillah.
		

			So this is the juice that we have today has two main pillars, sort of puzzles and a LAN coupled. And
as Jeff pointed out, these are sewers, that came toward the end of the big napkin period and some of
the facility and saved before the first stage at off to Habesha as well. And what I want to talk
about is how to conceptualize what the Quran is doing, we see these middle smack in two scenarios.
		

			These are this is the epitome the height of the tarbiyah
		

			by Allah subhanaw taala of the Prophet Alayhi Salam and of the companions of the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi Salaam. And this is this is the time
		

			when a lot of sutras are being revealed in Mecca.
		

			And these Sutras, some of them are long, and they seem to have a more calm demeanor like sort of out
of an eye on their long surah is that the Sahaba Perhaps this was a time when people had
		

			find time to to memorize and reflect on these long stories. And then you have some sources.
		

			Toward the end of the second period, when it's the pitches higher, you know, things are really,
really difficult. And the message that the servers are giving, it is dealing with both very
particular circumstances and the general message to the oma and to humanity at large as the oma is
going to turn to the poor on year after year until the day of judgment.
		

			So I want to make two points about how to receive these sutras of the Quran or any sort of the
		

			the first point is that these sutras
		

			are, especially in the meccan period are creating the mental furniture of a believer, that is,
		

			how the mind of a believer is structured in and what kind of, if you will, rooms and furniture it is
it has, as a believer, and a group of believers can trance difficult challenges in life.
		

			The challenge may be that your parents are non righteous or even Moshe keen, and you are on the one
hand indebted to them. On the other hand, they're asking you to leave your face, the challenge may
be that you are like Musa alayhis, salam, helpless, raised in the house of a pharaoh, and then is
now having to go back and confront the Pharaoh. The challenge may be that you are a leader of a
community, a law giver, as Melissa was you may be a leader.
		

			And you find that there are challenges behavior that
		

			confront that that contradicts faith within that community. within the community of believers, you
may be Ibrahim alayhis salaam, alone move ahead head as a sole worshipper of Allah, Allah in the
house of an idle maker in society and community in a kingdom that is not willing
		

			to abandon to turn away from its idle and from his desires, you may be new or who has called on his
people, year after year after year. And so, if you look at these sources,
		

			select a shoe IRA and animal analysis seem to have almost a continuous theme. And the central story
in the sutras is the story of Musa alayhis salaam different aspects of the story of Musa alayhis
salaam are developed and then in Surah, align carboot there are other prophets stories are brought
in. Now all of these stories had been mentioned. All these prophets had been mentioned before in
aloud often earlier soon as Olympia, but now they're being brought back to deal with the specific
situation, which is now the things are difficult. How are you going to deal with when you are being
driven out like Musa alayhis salam have to run away? And how are we going to deal with the situation
		

			in your life as an uncovered speaks of Lu Ali Salam who believed in Ibrahim Ali Salaam and then he
was sent to his people who committed a grave factory show such a great furniture
		

			and Muth is an outsider. He's a he is perhaps the only prophet who is an outsider to his people. So
all of these different circumstances are commented on through the stories of profits so that the
mental furniture of a believer is
		

			is made up of stories and examples of Prophet Mohammed Salah I sell them first and foremost. And
then for the Prophet himself the rule his role models are Moosa and Ibrahim and Aretha made peace
and blessings of Allah be upon him. So this is one theme that stands out in all of these mecanizados
and they are, if you will, the madrasa of the Quran there this this the Quran is a school and like
in a school you have different grades and different topics and themes. When you're reading the Quran
with with attention to these different themes and to how they relate to the profits life.
		

			different phases in profits life, they actually teach you enormous lessons that you might add first
		

			When you're not paying attention, that this is just repetition. The second thing I want to mention
is how less than $1 in the short span of 23 years of the mission of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, expose Muslims individually as well as as a group to new circumstances, new situations, new
challenges, and then commented on them. And Allah subhanaw taala did not leave any significant any
important situation that the oma was going to face that was not brought up by the story of an
individual Sahabi by a woman complaining to the prophets, Allah and the Prophet responding back to
her by some of the Sahaba having difficulty in in confronting the very difficult, you know,
		

			situation like the war or something, and that Allah subhanaw taala made it happen so that Allah
could comment on it, Allah, Allah to Allah
		

			did not need to do that he could have just given us a book of theory, but Allah Spanish, Allah made
it so that all of these stories come to life so that they are felt as a strongly felt emotion, that
so that you can fully absorb the message of the Quran and also so that you can find, if you will,
you could you could find the right furniture for the right situation.
		

			And that is the great wisdom that the Quran teaches us and especially you find them in sort of like
sort of a process and uncovered
		

			Zack a long Hold on. So how am I very powerful, and I think it's, I love the mental furniture
concept. And I think that one thing that one of our teachers had once mentioned is that when it
comes to the viola, the Prophet sallallahu wasallam, his son gives us guidance and everything and we
relate to him and everything in our lives. But the stories of the prophets were not just there to
make Russell last nice and I'm firm, they are there as timeless lessons and you know that you're
connecting with the stories of the prophets when you start to experience certain things and like you
said, you immediately go to the room of more size than to the room of naughty synoptic these
		

			different places. Exactly. Look at Dr. Wagner for those beautiful reflections. inshallah, Tasha,
Come, take us away and then we'll get to have some little discussions all the time as well.
		

			Mr. Nawaz salatu salam ala rasulillah Allah Allah, he was a woman when I'm about no I just was he
was mentioning the different rooms and you know, the furniture with the prophets and their
experiences and their natural the way Ally's created them. There fits on Yeah, it's interesting. How
within the knowledge of Allah subhanho wa Taala he gives them different characteristics. You know, I
mentioned you know, loot and Ibrahim and he that he wouldn't let me say again, I'm going he's it's
okay for him to be alone. Right? He's totally fine with that. But then it's like, okay, you know,
when he you know, Lama Raja Musa Habana Asif and he came back and he was angry. Right? That's a
		

			really catchy whatever you don't see when Moses grabs heroines, his beard in his head, any you know
who he lay. So you see the personalities that are different with the prophets. And that's
comforting. As I mentioned before the stories of the Sahaba is the same situation. You see the
different personalities even within the for qualified Rashi Dean, they have characteristics that has
been given Subhanallah and that's a shameless plug for one of the papers that I really love
phenomenal paper called I think it's spiritual personalities. I can't remember the exact name of it,
but it really speaks about that by so we have their hand very beautiful paper in regards to that.
		

			Mashallah. So what I want to touch on in sha Allah is
		

			of our own is speaks about in the chapter of casas verse number 76, and 77 primarily, verse 77, were
a loss of kind of what data is giving a form of advice to those that he has blessed or have been
blessed with an abundance of resources, if we can save money, but I would like to say resources
because when we think money we think of the paper money a lot of times but as we know money was the
dinar and the deer him and there was also the barter system, gold and silver. And it was also the
barter system that we we see today but not as prevalent as we did in their times. So we can say
belongings or resources those that have that many resources are plentiful. It's important to listen
		

			to these forms of advice that was given by by the people of our own to our own. Our own as was
mentioned in the Quran is Allah Subhana Allah mentions, he says in the Quran was from the people of
Moosa,
		

			but he Tyrone eyes them and we gave him treasures to whom the keys when burden abandons have strong
men. That isn't the fattier who, that the keys that he had were so big and huge that it would burden
a pan of strong men that would try to hold these keys to show
		

			The level of his his wealth, but with that wealth, he tyrannized people and he said there upon his
people said to him, Do not exalt any very last panda does not like those that are exalted those that
		

			indulge and embarrass themselves themselves in the extravagance to the degree that it can become
tyrannical. And this is this the verse that follows that is important because many times we may say
as Muslims in regards to the dunya in regards to this worldly life, the tangible life that we see in
front of us that is temporary, we may say that is in contrast with having money or with having an
abundance of resources. But that's not the case from an Islamic perspective. Rather, it is whatever
you have been given whether it's $1 or $1 million. How do you use that money? When we look at the
camera the study on the rulings of the Sharia, it really is what deals with the animal kingdom the
		

			theme the actions of the responsible parties primarily, there are some things that are intrinsically
Haram, but when we talk about the actions of the McCullough theme, that is what is important here.
So these forms of advice is firstly where lots of kind of what the author says that they relate
says, I throw them in there. So Jean, would tell the female attack alone a doubt if you know and
seek the life seek the life to come by means of what God has granted you woman till the female
attack a lot and to desire from what Allah has given you, a data afternoon. So using what you have
been given from Rosa aware, say Allah will have the Bestower the one that is full of abundance, when
		

			he has given you make sure you use it again, the verb, you use it and that which is in a way that is
beneficial to yourself, by doing it in a way that's pleasing to Allah to yourself and to others and
in this case, Ottoman, because he was a Thai radical individual with the wealth and belongings and
resources that he had. They are reminding him what you have, make sure you use it and that which is
beneficial to people second form of advice is what they say well, that tends to MLC becoming a dunya
as was mentioned their perception of the dunya here is interesting, because linguistically, the
scholars may say that of two different understandings of the word dunya dunya is that which is it do
		

			Newfield mancilla, meaning that it is something that is low and something that shouldn't be valued
to the high degree to the degree, that one neglects the akhira, or the actions of the athletes or
the actions that are beneficial for their hero. Dunya means proximity as well being that it is
proximal to the time when everything will perish, or the African or the next life. Therefore, what's
interesting here last is Don't forget your portion from the dunya. Another understanding of this
there are many understandings from the scholars of Tafseer is that your portion of this dunya is
that which is temporary. Even though you have a portion of it, don't forget to take from it and that
		

			which is beneficial to you. But the word no seed means portion, meaning that your portion that you
have within this dunya or the portion of the junior ended up itself, being that the junior is
something that is temporary, and it will not last. It's a beautiful statement that someone mentioned
I mentioned earlier is so panela we think about this concept, you are dead longer than you are alive
to panela. So when you think of the dunya is as original katabi when mentioned, you know he passed
by a place that was a must be a pass by a place that was a trash a trash can and he looked at his
companions and he pointed to the Trash Can he said had he done Yak Malachi tiny sooner or later. He
		

			said this is the junior that all of you cherish. So when he's talking, they're talking to God and
they're saying look, everything that you have fun is going to end. But what is most important is how
you use this to invest in the next life. Third form of advice were last month I says what I said to
my accent Allah who he like to remember Firstly, that a lot as a result, because we mentioned
earlier and then Allah said kind of went down that gives you everything that your senses can
encounter. Even your senses itself has been given to you by Allah subhanho wa Taala and the
beautiful verse that we always mention with the unfussy can fly to be seen on and in your own
		

			selves, do you not look and ponder? So whatever you have been given, just remember, do good with
that what you have been given, give back to people, if you have resources, make sure that you take
from it and give to people that are in need by educating them by financially supporting them or by
giving your time and expertise. I sin came at us and Allahu e lake. And that is the way that it is
in the Arabic language is to remind you that every single thing that you have has been given to you.
As a matter of fact, it is not reciprocal. It's a gift. It's a fabu and a NEMA for Lumina llahi when
that last one bit of advice is where lots of kind of data says when I tell you what well that's a
		

			built in facade the feel of the in Allah Allah you hibou and move studying and do not cause
corruption on the earth do not desire tably do not desire the facade.
		

			On the earth, the corruption on the earth for very long lost $1 does not love the ones that cost
corruption. And it's beautiful here because they in the advice with what Allah loves, it's reminding
qarun Look, you are here temporarily. And it's as some of them have been said in this advice for
caught on lacking the whole equally or equally Harun. It is for every generation, it is for every
individual, but particularly those that have the Oh soften the characteristics of our own being that
they have been given an abundance and resources in the Caribbean in an Omega hunter malarkey. Last
month Allah says it really you are those that struggle and work hard for a you know you work hard to
		

			obtain things and to hit Boone and malherbe Benjamin you love, money in abundance. You love these
things in abundance, but make sure that whatever we work hard for that that work has been given to
us by Allah, the faculties that he's been that he's given to us, physically, mentally,
intellectually have been given by Allah subhana wa Taala how are we giving back to people to others
and not being tied ironical by the resources that has been given by the king and the Bestower over
half of all resources, Allah subhana wa tada may last month Allah make us of those that are thankful
for every blessing that we have been given may allow us to realize that it is a blessing and that we
		

			be people of influence and change for the good inshallah.
		

			Allah Subhana Allah, it's in the Quranic terminology.
		

			Everything that Allah gives to any group of people is relevant to people on both sides of the coin,
so, but attacks I've done a lot of if you're the nominee, I'm gonna * moon, do not think that
Allah is unaware of what the oppressors do, is comfort for the oppressed and a warning to the
oppressor. And so when I was talking to a tyrant, that's comfort for the one that's a victim of a
tyrant and a warning to a person who acts like a tyrant. When Allah is talking to a prophet, it's
comfort to the one that is falling in the way of the Prophet and a warning to the one that oppresses
or that that obstructs righteousness in their society. So it's a beautiful connections of how as
		

			we're thinking about the way that the poor and seamlessly brings in these two categories of people.
		

			Dr. wiemer, would you like to share any reflections on what was just shirt?
		

			You're on mute, sir. Is that good luck, a beautiful reminder.
		

			So when you were talking, I thought about a couple of things. First, the fact that padrone is a
believer, right? He belongs to the community of Mossad.
		

			So he's a Muslim.
		

			And so he he acts the way he does, right with his his his his tyranny and his access.
		

			And what I think is quite remarkable about the story of Mousavi Salaam, which is why it's the most
developed story in the corner. And,
		

			and, and really, it's a model for which Allah sets up those stories so that Muslims can learn from
it.
		

			And his story is most complex because he has to deal with right from the very beginning, we learn
his story since he's a baby and being thrown
		

			into the river by his mother. And so he's born into this, this this tyranny at tyranny and fear. And
he grows up in in that in the palace of, of throne. And then when he of course, he confronts
		

			the throne tourney, but then when he has to confront his own people, he has to confront his
believers. And they, as Allah says, is no power and instead of the stuff
		

			that they harm him, they annoy him, they they as if torture him. Right.
		

			And that's the nature I think there's something to be learned for any day. Any sum, anyone who wants
to give guidance, whether somebody is a teacher or a parent, or a diary to Muslims, that it is your
people whose hurt is going to be he's going to get to you more than anybody else's when the Fed does
it. You know, you can wear it as a feather in your hat like this is this is an honor for me that I'm
being tortured
		

			by for our own, but then it is people who just past two they crossed the Red Sea with you they saw
the greatest
		

			miracle and as Allah says in Surah aarav as soon as they got on the other side after seeing all of
the miracle and the believers and they've seen all of this they say Musa I learned lancom Allahu
Allah, make us a god, a God make us an idol like they have an idol to worship, turning away from
Allah Subhana datto gave them the greatest miracle. So that's one thing we learned from the story of
Korra on our own
		

			This is an internal Muslim problem.
		

			And, well, I'll just stop there.
		

			I know what's in your heart. Or I don't know what's in your heart, but I feel what your what you
want to what you want to say. And I think it strongly resonates as it's become abundantly clear when
we see the situation of the oma today that it is our own brothers, unfortunately, that that stabbed
the backs of their brothers that render us and you know what hypocrisy and betrayal is just so
Fianna is so shameless, just open, you know, like you're not guessing anymore. It's not
		

			you know, just people that will support the enemies against their brothers and sisters and assist in
the oppression that's at the global level. And I know that that's something near and dear to your
heart as a cause. And when we see it everywhere, you know, and
		

			it becomes overwhelming. So we lost parents out to protect us from the hypocrites of our own man
protect us from being hypocrites within our own environment, then, and something Dr. Amer you know,
I just thought about all our health, all the law and when he was stopped, and he asked who stabbed
him when they told them it wasn't a Muslim, a 700 and another person who stabbed me it was not
someone who says Allah, because it does hurt it hurts in the physical sense and it hurts in the
emotional sense when the other one the harm, emotional harm and mental harm own and that is a
serious tribulation. So again, may Allah protect us from being on the harming side and protect us
		

			from from the harmed as well from being harmed in a way that could shake our faith and lucky for
Superman and unite our hearts and purge from us. That which is displeasing to him from within us and
from without,
		

			like my life had beautiful reflections, powerful reflections and 100 factor women will be with us
for the webathon as well as all the time we're looking forward to having you And just a reminder to
everyone else in Charlotte to please join us in Charlottetown to support us inshallah, if you can,

Wayne bridge paper that just came out and join us tonight inshallah tada for the second half of this

			The benefit of that sort of that coming together to learn is not merely the imparting of information
and the receiving of information or the discussion that takes place, it's people coming together, to
feel that tranquility from Allah, and to also feel like they can talk about a lot in a safe and a
thoughtful space. And we've structured these conviction circles over the period of a semester, so
that these modules actually take into consideration that student's schedule, so that you feel like
there's something that you're working towards every time you start a module. And by the end of it,
you feel like you've gained some literacy in that topic. And at the same time, you've identified the
		

			proper parameters that are given to us through the tradition as to how we should look at these
issues. And you also have some mature discussion and the bonding that takes place through that
mature discussion with other classmates and other students that probably have the exact same
concerns and the exact same questions about our tradition. Our goal is not just to have a place for
critical thinking, we also want to encourage self reflection. This is not just some sort of
intellectual playground this is meant to be a camp for self development, because we believe that
Yep, being that conviction directly leads to contribution.
