Rania Awaad – We Heard and We Obey

			But the first answer is always.
		

			We heard and we obey,
		

			right, is the first answer.
		

			To get to that point is very powerful.
		

			When a person gets to that point, they're
		

			no longer our teachers talk about a person,
		

			the difference between someone who is very petty
		

			in their faith, in their belief, and so
		

			everything is like a tit for tat.
		

			How come? Why? Show me the proof. Show
		

			me the evidence. Show me the hadith. Where's
		

			the ayah? How do you know? Right?
		

			In Islam, interestingly enough, is a religion of
		

			knowledge.
		

			In the Quran, Allah says seek, learn, read,
		

			contemplate, look, go, travel,
		

			find out. It's a religion of knowledge.
		

			It inspires you.
		

			So it's not a religion that just says
		

			do because I said so.
		

			But when you get to a point of
		

			strong belief,
		

			your first answer is because Allah said so
		

			and now let me explore
		

			the other reasons why. You don't come at
		

			it as well how come Aisha was?
		

			It's a different
		

			experience in the way a person approaches the
		

			dean.
		

			It's a valid question.
		

			Let's have a discussion.
		

			But that pettiness of like, well, I'm not
		

			going to deal with the prayer or the
		

			hijab or anything else until you can explain
		

			the h nine story.
		

			It's a different way
		

			of dealing with this deen.
		

			But you wanna talk about tzedarash? Let's talk
		

			about it.
		

			But you don't tit for tat with God.
