00:00:00 --> 00:00:01
			To strengthen people.
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:03
			Allah
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:05
			says or sorry, the hadith. The hadith of
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:06
			the prophet says,
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:10
			whoever is humiliated before a believer and does
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:12
			not help him when he's able to do
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:13
			so,
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:15
			Allah will humiliate him
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:18
			before the creation on the day of judgment.
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:23
			So when I think about all what we
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25
			learned, they do all these trainings about bullying,
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:28
			about bystanders and upstanders.
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:31
			But when you see something happening to a
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:32
			person in front of you,
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:33
			you should
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:36
			in your capacity help and not allow the
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
			bullying or the abuse or whatever it is
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:40
			to continue happening. All of these trainings, and
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:41
			I think to myself
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:43
			here's the hadith
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:47
			over 1400 years ago
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:50
			saying exactly that. Do not allow your brother
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:51
			or sister to be there humiliated and you
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:52
			don't help.
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:54
			It's a command.
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:56
			Do you know what I mean? We don't
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
			need some training to tell us, oh, that's
		
00:00:58 --> 00:00:59
			the good thing to do, here's the research
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:00
			behind it.
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:02
			It's directly from our sunnah,
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:04
			our beloved prophet.
