Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa barakaatuh today's topic is how
Islamic heritage
from an African
something
to talk about today
so we've also had the queen who passed away
and a lot has been said about that as well.
So what is this heritage that we talked about? It was registered
when was heritage day yesterday? Which was what date
24th
And what is the Islamic day today?
No, no, no, no, no
No, no no. I want you to tell me what's the slamming take what is
this coming month by the sofa? Next month is bowling
All right.
A Muslim
when he looks at the world, it looks at the world
already looks at the world from a superior position.
Because allows 100 guys
and if Allah does not guide him, no one does. Allah was wrong. It
says in the Quran, to the Prophet sallallahu Sallam when he was the
most Beloved of Allah Spano. Tala, Allah says to him, Allah says in
Nicoletta demon, what are killing Allah? Yeah Dima Yasha. Hobo Hamad
says I love you very much, very, very much. And we know the love of
Allah.
But Allah says, You cannot guide whom you want to guide. You cannot
just say, Well, I'm the Prophet. So come here, let me guide you.
Allah says, You cannot guide when you even love
other people whom you love.
In Allah, Allah guides will be ones. So if we sitting here and we
thinking, wow, you know, does that mean that we have been guided to
Allah, the greater gift than that you can afford greater gift than
that greater follow of Allah formula, you can't.
So when we sit, and we look at the world, we we should always try
never
balanced. Ideally, we don't condemn
that which is outside of us.
Except, of course, people doing things which is an Islamic, either
Sherif Iraq activities, then we go quite harshly against our own
fellow Muslims.
But if we look at the world, let's look at the queen for example, and
what she did and all the things people say about her, which was
colonial, she did this she did that she did.
That is the one half of the story.
Also, people started by saying, you know, look at parachuters look
at Windsor house, and this palace attack patterns and that palace,
you know, holders, wastage of other people's money and you know,
the loving luxury. People are starving, people are suffering and
they took away the people of India, they took away the country,
you know, took away the diamonds and the dignity and they came to
Africa and they banned I mean, they unbanned Islam in South
Africa, in fact, but they came to colonize South Africa as well.
So this will colonize a very big word. And also all the palaces
they have. Now, really, any Muslim was read his own history will find
the greater palaces then they want to build.
The best and most sumptuous of palaces were built by the Muslims.
And the base one was built by a man by the name of Abdul Rahman,
the third
of the three of the Romans here then we'll take the third one.
So after what's up there, Amanda said anybody knows
that Amanda third
brain drama and the third was the son of Huawei.
Who was more aware
Alia was it's a hobby of the NABI sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. He
was also one of the
persons who wrote the Quran you could read and write. So when the
revelation came to him, he was one of the 40 scribes that have done
Trump eventually became leader of the kumbaya dynasty based in
based in Syria, based in domestics.
They built a dynasty, that
there was a you know, there was a fallout with St. Ali. So he moved
there and he didn't want to go over there of the Khilafah
declared itself.
Eventually, a day came along with all his whole family was wiped
out, except for one person up there, Amanda said, and he ran
away any video you go to, you went to
we can, Kevin
for the waterfront
is that the extent of our knowledge of history?
This is such an important part of our history.
He went to Annapolis.
andalas went to Spain.
And they established himself as the Emir of Cordoba, and later
became the king of Cordoba.
So we also have kings, you know, in our history, we have bad ones
and good Abdul Rahman was a good one.
But what he built the most beautiful palace ever. It was only
he'll in Cordoba, overlooking what was called.
It was called The Big Valley. So this was, in fact, if you google
and you will see that they, they tend to read but it was actually
not as it wasn't just a castle. It was a small city that he built on
the scene. And of course, the Europeans used to come they you
know, they unwashed faces and unwashed or whatever else. They
didn't wash it. And very gray looking people and they came
there. And they were amazed when they saw what this meant. And they
stood in awe of him. And of course, also in awe of Islam,
because he was a very good Muslim.
Having been a son of Sahaba Muhammad sallallahu alayhi salatu
salam. So yes, we also had we can't say, Well, you know, Muslims
don't live in that kind of opulence. Kumar, go to Saudi
Arabia, Saudi
man lives in Saudi Arabia and palaces, they target a palace in
nearly every, every derpy day in Saudi Arabia. Every doll presents
a palace of the king, palace of this king, that King.
So they also don't translate Oh, very rich, extremely rich, richer
than queen can ever imagine. We have the same history. We have the
same history of bad monarchs and good monarchs,
and so forth and
so
and colonization,
oppressing other people
taking their land and
the beauty of
Adams ran the slave trade or on the East African coastline. They
ran the slave
Arabs.
And before their time, the ancestors, they control the slave
trade.
And up to 18 160, more or less, because it's about 150 years ago.
Slavery still traded in the open, if
you believe it,
girls from Africa, light skinned girls, dark skinned girls woke,
they'd be sold in the market.
The base would go to Makkah, and then the rest would go to Medina.
And then from there, they ship the rest to.
So
I know, in West Africa,
it was mainly the British and Europeans and the Americans that
captured like Africans from the took them over to America and so
forth and so on.
But the Eastern
Djibouti down to Somalia, down, they even came right down to
Mozambique.
In the slave trade,
of course, he didn't outlaw slave slave slavery in the beginning,
but eventually, the Quran had late penalties for whatever you do, you
should safely free slavery to stand.
Standards goes on. But of course, it was totally abused by the data,
data. And
so there's a there's a little bit of colonial colonial history
closer to home.
In the fourth
year, yeah. of the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam Melissa
maybe there were 100
Odd converts in luck.
And things really became very, very oppressive for the Muslims
and the prophets Allah
Ceiba
Allah, the Kerner, Canada.
You he saw the calamity that was befalling his competitor. He saw
how Billa was put in the desert, stones were put on the stand. They
were boycotted there to eat leaves. During the read of the
camera for water, they were completely cut off and boycott
was,
was instituted against the Muslims.
So the Prophet SAW Salem saying this, he said to the sahaba.
I want to advise those of you who cannot
endure the suffering anymore,
did you should go to a place with his kin that oppresses nobody
to find journey from NACA, you've never been out of NACA, most of
those competitive properties never left Mark except for those who
traded
it king of
every single, modern day
feel
facilitated.
That was the first
it was the first
were about 80 men who took part in the season.
I don't know the number of women, but definitely was 80 men. Among
them were great names,
great names, that we all know.
For example, Siddhartha man, and his wife was his wife
was he married to
was man married to
the daughter of Muhammad. So the Prophet is also sending his
daughter into exile. Basically, his daughter was now going to
become a one refugee.
His daughter's the refugee man, because
he also couldn't stand the oppression Jaffa inevitably
go Jaffa.
And we thought he will tell you that he was the word of the
Prophet Salah Salem.
It was a cousin.
And he had a distinction that only five people had during the
lifetime are going to be so silent what is the distinction?
What was the distinction a Jaffa which only five people
in the lifetime
Java looked like the prophet to be five people who clicked the
Prophet.
And of course that means that he was an extremely handsome man.
Very handsome.
And it was a rule that if you want to send somebody as your
ambassador, or your spokesperson, Adam said that he must be very
handsome man, both physically and in his face, and he must be able
to speak for you. So the prophets of salaam appointed Jaffa as the
leader of the delegation,
Amen The next was most of evening was most argument
I'm not sure about the glad tidings agenda. I know there were
some other distinctions which he had
he was the first day of the first man poverty into Medina to preach
Islam was a young man
then he was as variable
okay.
And I'm gonna I'm not gonna mention the old 8080 people.
Not gonna embarrass you
Abdullah Rama didn't have was a very special man. He was the
richest. The richest
is wealth if you should be calculated today, because all the
wealth isn't gonna be carried in gold. If it should be calculated,
it will be more than $600 billion
We will think today they reach they don't have to be pious.
Money becomes the objective and the objective life.
Imagine having that kind of rock.
Very generous, yet three principles. So we asked the
question, why did he become so rich? How did he? Of course he was
the richest man in America first but when he left NACA to the
Gujarat What did the courgetti you made your money or did everything?
Leave everything
else behind? He went to Medina MTP No, no, my name is
but the three principles of threat of doing business number one
he traded only in cash.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no tomorrow no yesterday
and for her is the good state money.
Number two, it didn't keep stock.
What does it mean? He didn't keep stock in order to sell it at a
later date we'll get more money.
What the agony shop or the agonies business? You tell us that? Oh,
this guy thermometer key. Not standard, maybe too much. Too.
High today, it's
number three, he was honest.
This bottle of water didn't come from the spring, which right here
on the label, then you will tell the person who buys it for me.
This is just ordinary water.
That string thing in there but comes from some spring in about
tech. Not true. I'm not saying me I'm sorry. I'm not saying it is
I'm saying there was a truth if there was a baby sorts of clothing
whatever, there was something in there it was maybe it was a day or
somebody will tell the person you buying this
that is wrong.
Anything.
So that was and he he was one of the persons prophets of salaam
also said that he will go to cryptojacking I think Musa also
was
also a person that of course ottoman. So here was the
illustrious group of people who went deaf the country to go to
win the Parisian I'm gonna
make the story a bit shorter. When the Kadesh heard this, they were
very upset. What people lifted. And Natasha, the king of Ethiopia,
welcome them, the living the Icelandic, this protection, food
and security and they will get very jealous. So the orange came
together and they said no, we can't allow this. We have long
relationship with the king of
Abyssinia and we know him very well. So we will pick two men. Two
of you, two young men will send to the king to tell the king to
return.
So they chose two men one was amaryllis.
Last week I asked you what was what what was significant about
hamlib Last, what did you say?
Last week, I asked you
what was the answer that I gave you? What was his distinction?
Distinction? What was it Brian?
He was the conqueror of Egypt, which led to the conquest of the
whole of North Africa. It was a general army James very
intelligent. brilliant strategist.
Yeah, he was not a Muslim yet.
Okay, so the correct sent to them.
So they purpose wasn't there to make it easier for the Muslims.
He jumped into some men stronger ties with his race.
I'm not Israeli sorry.
There's a parallel between them and the Israelis.
So they got there with all the presidents and not presents with
because the king had a lot of a lot of generals and also
men of religion. Bishops were very, they were, they were very
committed Christians feel
up to today, Christians are very, very committed.
So when they got there, first thing they did was they gave
presents to all the generals and they told the bishops they gave
presents.
This was of course to
what purpose?
to bribe them, to agree with them when the crunch comes, they will
all vote for them.
So they When, when, when, when to the king and they say to the king
there are some young people amongst us, some of
they will first members of our faith of our religion in America,
they left the faith of the great fathers and grandfathers and great
grandfather's.
And now they have no faith. They didn't go into your faith with
Christianity, obviously, they say to the king and no other faith,
they just faithfulness and in the danger to up so we request you
must please in the back.
So the kings are,
let's call them
let's talk to them.
So the king call them and say to them, you have a delegation here,
man, this is what they say about you.
They say that you abandoned your faith.
And you did not accept my faith. Christianity, the king says to do
that. And thirdly, you didn't accept the Legion of anybody else.
This is something new to me. I can't understand people they live
their faith and they don't adopt another faith
because it wasn't true.
So he said whatever what do you have to say about this?
So who stepped forward? Was the spokesperson
Prophet Jaffa
I can imagine these Muslims if you imagine their faces they just came
from the presence of Muhammad Salah was the prophet ISIS
they were new Muslims they were dressed in white so very
impressive group of people with Java stepped forward we said
yeah y'all Malik looking
we want people who worship idols
number two we carry on your carries me to your own throat
we buried girl children alive
we are no time for our neighbor. We doubt in Reba
not useless.
You serie.
Let's call it interest.
And then
Allah subhanaw taala sent us a profit from amongst ourselves.
And he taught us to obey and worship only one God.
He told us to be kind to our neighbors. He told us to be good
to our parents. He told us not to eat that which is clean halal and
Taheebo.
He taught us how to pray
and he was from amongst us.
So we entered into his face
so the king looks at him
and the king said is is that instead of new faces? Yes. It's a
new phrase called Islam
and the Prophet is named Mohammed and we follow
so the king
looked and of course
you know these when we've given presents to everybody around the
table
and so people started snorting you know snorting
you're gonna say what to say but you know the king is never gonna
say the king said
he said what you saying
comes from the same source that ASA spoke from
same source
and he said to those around him since you can start now.
But I want to tell you that I'm never going to release these
people into your custody.
They will be under my care. And I will look after them for as long
as they are.
So that night, I'm ready last spoke to his friend with his with
him and he said, you know,
we lost the first round.
But tomorrow I'm gonna give them the killer block.
Tomorrow.
I'm going to
see what he's gonna
say what you're going to do. I'm going to tell the king
that they say Jesus is a slave.
Jesus is a Christian.
So he said
even do this I'm gonna do that. So I went to the key the next day
says, I just want to tell you
that they believe
that Jesus is a slave.
A slave slave means one thing. That time slave means somebody is
bought by somebody else in the works 24 hours a day for that
person slave.
So, the king said release, the king call them again the next day
they came said the king said to Jaffa, this is the this is what
they say.
They say that
you say that Jesus, the son of Mary is a slave,
let's say you believe is the truth.
So, Java stepped forward.
What he did this time is
the range.
first three verses of Surah Mariama which is the which surah
in the Quran number
number 90 Surah number 19. It's a very important to reflect I've
been thinking for many years,
I think so many things for many years.
To publish
the verses of Surah Maria, in a small little booklet form, it will
probably be four pages or five pages,
and to distribute it
to the Christian put it in the post boxes. Just to quote what the
Quran says about another Isa, as well.
And about
Korea, which is all mentioned in the New Testament, is all the
prophets of the New Testament
I think it's so important to convey the kind of way in which
the Quran presents the ISA to the world, Jesus to the world which is
different from the way the Bible I mean, it's it's You can't compare
how Allah Allah describes the birth of Nabil ease and how the
Bible describes
in comprehend
any Christian who reads that
should cry when he reads it, and he compares it with his own.
So what is the first three verses is
the kuramathi Rebecca Abda who
is no doubt about Hoonigan coffee Yeah, call her a beanie one on
one are Starla Shaybah Willem Hakuna, we do our ecobee
sharpener.
So, a cozy reading in a beautiful tone recited it
and as he was reciting it,
to you king started crying.
And he cried so much that his beard became weak with tears. And
all those bribe the bishops that are standing there also started
crying. They were holding the book in their hands to Bible and they
cried so much that the books became wet from the tears just
listening to these verses of the Holy Quran.
So what is these verses say these verses talks about? Allah's father
says,
this is a recital
of the birth of your Lord at the mercy of
with Allah speaking to Who is your Lord?
Muhammad.
Allah is saying to the Gnosis Allah, these verses is a recital
of what
of
the slave of Allah by the name of
Zakariya is not out of Dominica and Sofia
and it deals with
he secret dua to Allah you called to online secret
he called out to Allah
in secret crying at the Door of Allah
What did you want from Allah
What did you want? You wanted this
one it's called a beam the one
he says oh Allah
My bones are in firm. Oh man.
Bent over it. Now the walk was taller run sushi and my hair is
gray.
Gray
well I'm I couldn't be dry Cara Bishop.
But he said Oh ALLAH. Oh my lord. I've never come to you
Oh, not blessed
by my prayers that I asked you for.
Now, this genre of talking is, if you if you read any personal reads
the Quran beautifully.
It's like a
it's like a symphony.
But this king must have been so impressed because he can't read
the Bible, like we read the Quran
for different kinds of reading,
it's a musical. It attacks you, even if you're non Muslim, the
tone of the Quran, up and down.
So
he listened to the king lesson.
And
then the king asked if you have read that to me, but what do you
say about Jesus?
And he said, first of all, Jesus is Abdullah, you didn't skip that
part.
King, I'll say to him, you say that is? Yes. He said, Yes, he's
not a slave of men, is
E Ne. Abdullah, when his mother with his brother had him in the
cradle, or in our arms. And the people came in accused of having
had an affair with a man and she gave birth to a son. She didn't
cheat. She couldn't what would you say? No. Would that be an answer
for those people? No. She pointed to
the very Son.
And he spoke. And it's what he does say, as a baby, in the
Abdullah in the army, I'm the slave of Allah. And he and and
Jaffa says to the king, and he also
he also was
Allah breathed his spirit into say, Dona Maria,
and he was conceived in the womb
and he gave birth to a virgin,
a virgin woman
and you will be blessed the day that he was born.
* the day that he dies, now blessed day said this is the day
that he died and bless me the day that it be raised up again.
So again, the
kidney got up, took a piece of wood, we're gonna say what size it
was stepped in front of Jaffa and put it down.
And he says to Jaffa, the difference between your dean and
my dean is
whether it was the breath a piece of wood, or the distance between
him and Jaffa. But he was saying to Jaffa the same light
that what you did now came from
is to be found in our scriptures.
And that was the beginning
of the penetration of Islam into Africa
because the following year
100 Ethiopians came to Makkah 100 men
to meet the prophets of Salaam and
so that was the seed that was planted
in Africa, first seeds of Islam planted in Africa
and so similarly
when the people from the Iran came from Yemen,
to Medina, for what purpose if
anybody
know what purpose they came Christians from?
What was the purpose?
The purpose was to ask the same question you're going to be so
Solomon, what do you say about Jesus?
They wanted to know
they knew
already that Islam says you know
that
he's a prophet.
So when they came to Medina, they were dressed in gold, very rich.
Yeah, money is very rich.
And the process and say to them,
please,
if you want to be equal, then you should dress this down.
And when they take down, Nicholas profitec, okay, fine. You've asked
to use the place to to worship to do your whatever Christians do,
you can use the question
and then of course, the discussion started after that.
So the Navi salatu salam, Alissa Salam,
just as you had expected the Najafi to treat his people the way
he did. Similarly when Christians came to Medina they got the same
thing from an ivy party.
So, when we treat people with treat people
as human beings
as equal human beings not be equal in faith, but equal human beings
and
we talk about colonialism and talk a little bit about colonialism
if if
this country was not colonized
we will be sitting
Indonesia
they
will not be sitting with beautiful Hello there
but it was part of the divine plan you see we always think that
whatever is bad doesn't come from
and people are not Muslim are all bad
which is bad
because a lot of the bad things that we think was so bad when we
condemn
that I've given you some examples we're actually in the favor of
I mean, I just read this morning
in Abu Bakr defending
everybody knows
everybody knows anybody who doesn't know about Obamacare.
Abu Bakr Effendi was sent here in 1870s Emirati
by Queen Victoria
to come and teach the Muslims in Cape Town Islam.
Now
somebody wrote to Queen Victoria to say Muslims in Kato needed a
scholar to compete.
And what did she do as the Queen of
of the Commonwealth.
And queen of all the countries that colonized
She immediately rose to the Khalifa.
We will see basically
and says I would like you to send a learn
to Cape Town to teach them the religion.
And we know that we enjoy those of us who have read some of the
history and seen the documentary about that she was
very enamored with Islam a
lot of respect for Islam. She had a Muslim
person who taught Islam from India brought him she brought him to
England to teach Islam
so we have this vague idea of basil diamond to the left, it's
still all the diamonds
who stole all the oil of the Muslims in the Middle East
Christians
was killing the Yemeni people.
Christians
so
that was going to be told you
I will show you
and this man came up luckily
he stayed here for about 18 years. Who sent him Kwame Toure?
I think a statue is in front of Parliament. Holloman that
essentially, is it.
So this is
the book that
we're baclofen
on who's being asked who sent it.
When we told you this is the result of Queen Victoria.
And what is this book about?
This is a book on faith.
And not only that this man made history by writing the first book
in Africa. It's the Buddha lot of your account so much. But the man
who wrote the first book in Africa was a Muslim.
But he wrote the book
This is an original one. He wrote the book in what we call Orleans
Africans. And I'm gonna read for you
just one or two lines
so I'll show you
it's written in Arabic script and this is printed in this is printed
in Turkey.
So I don't show you
when we put it on the table, you can look at it. So it's an Arabic
script. Let me read for you
Bismillah
Alhamdulillah Hindi
Arabic Allah Allah
Akbar sent
the SEC Kitab met Allah to Allah Sinha
these are the first Africans words written down in book form with a
pen up to that time of recounts only a spoken name which is more
Dutch in Africa
Allah Tala
raise a fever
and
something for all but no you haven't done
the easy to read in Arabic I'm reading Africans in Arabic
Allah Tala.
Andy Janda
of the dark
era
for Aldi means in jeans but a man could do it.
So this book was published
this book that I have a copy that I have on my father's copy
permanent grandfather's copy. Also the stamp has the stamp of his
schooling.
And the stamp says
the Muslim theological school Cape Town established in 1862
to buy the shareholder LM Abu Bakr fender and MJ
where is our MD different is here with his family.
He was also a judge was a call
which do unusual which one
our great great grandfather
tongue guru. Guru wasn't his father was from Google, just
Google.
Hughes was my great great, great grandfather.
We don't make much of him because we are the descendants of his only
daughter yet only one daughter.
So he came
I didn't bring that to bring it next week.
But I want to show you another book which I have. Which I bought
when I was in Cairo from a good friend of mine.
I want to show you
Egypt is on the African continent. But what I'm going to show you
the kind of love people had for this deal
only in the way they used to it it was amazing. The time they must
have spent to write
this book is about 200 years. But I want to show you what it looks
like.
Over 200 years old. This is done by hand.
This is not printing this is gold. I think gold can buy
the name of the book is a Schiefer by
to snake
to slip me, I want to show you how this man
wrote this book.
This guitar. This is a copy of the guitar with somebody else, not
even his book. This is a copy of St Peters. And this is what it
looks like if you
look at the ages equal ages within in gold
would rather the edgings.
I look at this book I'm going to look at myself. Look at the extent
these people went to just over
To download at
any time they must have taken
delivery computers too slow for us. They might typewriter. I still
come from the typewriter
and inside
this is every page looks like
this is a special kind of paper.
Let me see this beautiful, beautiful
this is Africa to produce in Africa to get our legacy African
legacy
I also wanted to bring with
space in my bag
a hookah which was written by Tuan guru himself by with his own hand
under the hood buzzer Tierra
which is harmless, still survivable.
So this is the kind of heritage which we have, and which people in
the North of South Africa also have the people who came from
India. They also brought a lot of scholarship with it. And they
came. But of course, most of the scholarship came to Cape Town.
Because most of the people that are captured by the Dutch in the
Far East, were well educated.
Memorize, he could read and write.
Whereas the people in the north they were just plantation workers
to go to school. They're basically looking for jobs.
The people who came to the Cape, they weren't looking for jobs.
They were brought here against their will check. What did they
do? That's why the first mosque was established here.
So we have five minutes left.
For me, it's very actually when I look at this and I become very sad
to think
you know
we'll ever go back to this
you're not only the way it looks.
The other most important thing is being able to read it.
So is the time when to come when you're able to do all this but
will be able to read it
because I can tell you now
in 50 years time
I don't think this anybody wants to become
to spend his time learning Arabic. Why would he?
What purpose
because you people won't be anyone I won't be
do you think other people will replace you with replacement?
The days of replacement? We saying shall mines
but the days of replacement is fast. Getting away from us running
away from us.
So every opportunity to get anywhere to learn anything about
your day
please take the opportunity I thought today there'd be nobody
Pramila was wrong.
So today whether each two years of COVID lifeless
excuse is going to be today Masha Allah Hamdulillah you know I was
wrong
in Elia de
facia Allah guides on yours
alright, so are they need anybody want to comment
yes
yes yeah
do interviews firstly on the monthly things to
do with the spirits in Cape Town, Constance, it wasn't
safe because
there was some serious disputes before
the court
and you suppose it applies?
And they say the judge
I don't think it is because
she deserves to be the winner this dividing
a plan of
lighting
rather than
between
I think I have a valid point, I think it's important to also
recognize that that could be, that may actually have been a situation
where they were fighting as Muslims amongst each other. And
that's why we have 11 bas cap in the book.
And if you read, if we read the history of take turns, they're
both in the court and outside.
So Buckley Finley makes a statement, he says, I spent a lot
of time ago because the judge doesn't recognize him to be
mythology or Islam. But then the cash came within the Hanafi. In
the Shafi Muslims, there's a big there's a big divide a very big
divide. That's why he added it very as an uphill struggle
to bring Hannity perspective also to the Muslims.
Just as we have today, the uphill struggle to bring the Quran and
Sunnah to the people. They still stuck on the Shafi
you know the they never would never want to budge
and I've noticed with the last two lectures, which I had
people want
about me quoting the Quran, and early those ethics
people concern but what about Imam Shafi?
They didn't say what about the nominee for our to be humble?
was the other one. My family? No, they were just wonderful.
So
we also have a long way to get back to our roots, we have a long
way to get back to the Quran and Sunnah.
And until and unless we get to go there, we're going to be like,
you know, The Kure state, Allah says in the Quran, you know, we
heard our fathers doing that and our grandfathers doing that. So
that's what we need to do.
And our fathers and grandfathers did that and they belong to that
mother. Can we shift?
Although we we in practice, in practice, we do a lot of what the
harder we say we should do it, we leave it on Sharpies, we're done.
For example. One example is when it comes to Rainbow filter, we all
give our people our money, which is a Hanafy fatwa.
But if you say that was shall we say? So what?
Were the chakras you can take from anybody but people can't take from
us. So
yes, you you actually correct.
I don't know if you saw the documentary on the life of
crematorium.
Did you see it? You didn't see it? You should shoot.
Yes.
Everything? Yes.
Yes. After the use
of the soldiers.
She couldn't be resorted
to manage.
Some
speaking.
Look, I don't want to say too much about the royal family.
I don't know where they are a lot of bad news.
But
I know for a fact that Charles
King Charles said
is very sympathetic towards Islam. Now I don't need somebody to be
sympathetic towards Islam. I don't need them.
But I need a man in that position to be sympathetic towards Islam.
And he simply went so far as 10 years ago, there was an article in
The Guardian newspaper
that the writer charged for learning Arabic at the time.
And there was a big thing in The Guardian which says that which it
was possible why studying Arabic
so he said I'm studying Arabic because I want to understand the
Quran.
And he once came to Cambridge University. People say he came to
give a talk quite a number of years ago. And he came there
uninvited, he just came to visit the campus because you prince will
come to the visitor campus. So they asked him to say a few words.
So he said I'd like to speak
to highness sifan i This is my I'm reading about an AI. I'd like to
speak about
and he gave a talk and the talk is still you could still listen to
it, I think on
on YouTube, talking to the cave and
Are we
he praised want you to understand.
So, this could only augur well for Muslims.
So, we should be careful as Muslims, how we tackle the
question of criticism
and the way we criticize
because I want to give you two examples
of people that
will absolutely not
considered
by the prophet to ever become.
Maybe I just give one example.
He was setting the bar was that father, who was
a about Sofia.
He was saying
that he was ever going to become anything besides an idol.
He was a cousin of the prophet and he was, he was they were breastfed
from the same woman, but he hated the GTS of the Prophet sallallahu
airson. In fact, his life ambition was to kill the prophets
and he did everything to deserve the navicent Elisa.
And what eventually happened
20 years he tried to kill about 20 years
after 20 years, he decided he must be wrong.
He is one of the persons that was promised Janos.
In Nicola
what I can Allah Obama salon you can guide
your uncle you love and you wanted him to be guided was it
you ever never made to offer a full bottle today, I was never
made to offer his uncle never made to offer and who became Muslim was
in January
so and he must have been quite attentive to Sofia. Also, the
other thing also looked like the Prophet
because they were cousins he looked a lot at the professor's
because it's a beautiful story and I must tell you that story of a
great story. Great story of
how one should not judge people always say you know I've gotten to
the point where I only judge people after they die
because only after they die
before they die they can become a slave they can leave a slum they
can do anything but once you're gone in your life have stopped and
you could say well that is a good man signing
YouTube
the last
but it's worth one this week with them coming out of the monitors.
Really beautiful
Yes. Well they're talking hockey
other hockey
I just didn't do it I was influenced by that lecture
giving this lecture
but but you know
I admired his
he was come
out of colonialism
and historically it was was good this whole video
yes
yes
yes
and you trying to understand the
accepting Islam
like our life
and see, can you guide us through these
and they they accepted the
accepted in the first place
all right.
It's a valid question.
So what I'm saying is
you're not accepting what you're doing.
Islam is not something which you pronounce.
Islam is something which is here. You can never send lessly. But you
can die as a muslim.
Appreciate that.
There are a lot of Sahaba were so punished in Makkah, that when they
were asked to worship, it is Latin Morocco is they are going to say
yesterday.
Where was the money?
So I cannot judge him. You may be Mr. Moody. But because of his
status,
and he probably of his reading, he doesn't have to tell the world and
only Allah needs to know.
But the difference between him and another person would be that
you find that there are Muslims who don't.
Who don't don't don't do anything to learn the Arabic language
understand that? There is a man who is not a Muslim.
And he does not Muslims as a person. So do I have the right
actually, to say anything?
If I haven't taken a few steps also to learn.
Because if he does become Muslim, he's Iman will be 100 times
stronger with my mind.
Which is an example.
So I think
one has to look at things from a lot of perspectives.
And I'm sure there are many people even in the time of the prophet
who died wasn't explicitly Islamic. They hit Islam, even
today. I mean, I've met
people who, for all intents and purposes, they speak like loose
lips.
But they've never said them. They never told me that. When I speak
to them about Islam, everything they say, points to the fact that
they and I would ask
and they will just smile.
So we cannot be the judge of a person. In Alika. Ramallah was
very important incident where he was had this. He was fighting in
the battlefield and this Mushrik and this, and he was going to kill
him and the man said,
Lila,
and he killed me.
So the Prophet said,
he said, he loved me killed him, said Yeah, but I thought he was
trying to save his own life. That's why they're tackling
poverty. No, that's not for you to judge
you kill them committed murder, you killed a Muslim.
I would be careful how we judge people who are both non Muslim
endlessly.
You have to refrain from making a judgement of the Islam or not
Islam of someone
could you know somebody is not obviously we know that he goes to
church whatever else but here there is a bit of a gray area. The
answer is a Quran says there's a gray area for you. I would sit
back and not comment on it until and unless you know the man
says himself. He's a Christian.
She grew up with a nice discussion. Inshallah we'll
continue next week. So Hanukkah, Lahoma Masha Allah Allah
Sorry, I'm late again.
