The concept of freedom is the distinguishing quality of human

beings.

And each and every human being has the right to be free.

Freedom therefore, refers to a state of being in which any

individual is able to get choice in forth a choice in behavior, or

a choice in speech or association. And also the ability to avoid

doing so. But without violating similar freedoms on the part of

other people.

From this statement,

and this understanding, we did use three points. One, Freedom has

both the dimension of doing something or not doing something,

in other words, the choice to do something, or the choice not to do

something. Secondly, there are limits and restraints to the

choice that a person has in that freedom. Because that freedom to

do or not to do, should not impinge upon the rights and the

freedoms of other people. And thirdly, because freedom implies

the notion of choice, the individual is accountable for the

choice of action or thought or deed that they engage in, and

therefore, must be the consequence of that choice and of that

freedom.

Today, is a holiday celebrating Freedom Day in our country.

And annual commemoration on the occasion with

almost 20 million of our citizens and our compatriots queued

historical cues we saw to take part in the country's first free,

non racial and free democratic election in the year 1994 24 years

today, has passed since that particular historic occasion,

peace, unity, dignity, the preservation and the restoration

of human rights were the hallmarks of that freedom they on the 27th

of April 1994. And each year, like today, marks in some ways, the

liberation of our country, and our people from a long period of

colonialism and of white minority *.

The question we ask, after 24 years of commemorating Freedom

Day, 24 years after the first free democratic election, the question

we need to ask, is our country truly free?

They might not even have the facts, though. We have come a long

way. In many instances.

So many of our citizens have not yet tasted the fruits of the

promises. That was NTP anticipated after the election in 1994. And

unfortunately, we are held captive by reality in South Africa suffers

from a crime epidemic where people feel unsafe, where we have an

incredibly weak and corrupt inefficient government with a

reprehensible

intimidates attitude towards combating crime. And many of our

political leaders have betrayed the solemn commitment to build a

free and fair and just society in a post apartheid South Africa to

meet the needs of the poorest of the poor, and to alleviate the

suffering of the needy and the disadvantaged.

We are held captive by effective law in order and underpaid and

understaffed and efficient police force were criminals when free.

And the notion of accountability seems absent. And the wheels of

justice seems to turn extremely slowly, if at all,

the vast majority of our people are still living in abject poverty

with a pitiful service delivery and a crippling unemployment rate.

We are in a society where some are still continued victims of

unaddressed injustice of the past, that they are not afforded the

opportunity to survive and live with dignity, where some are so

preoccupied at looking only at the past, that they are able to look

ahead and plan the path for a better future. And on the other

hand, they are some was so engrossed in enjoying the

privileges that they do have to destroy, forget to address the

rights of those who are in need, and those who are denied.

So when self centered economic enrichment, exploitation of

political authority and office and position and selfish political

power, combined, then we have what we call a recipe for them, which

of course means darkness, as well as oppression, injustice and the

gloom of darkness and pessimism, then Foster's and festers and all

elements, these are all elements, contrary to the very notion of

freedom for which people have fought.

In Islam, we find the Quranic concept of freedom is described

with many words in many expressions,

her freedom, the protection or even salvation, follows the

reaching of a target achieving a goal for law, total well being or

success, the flowing and the flowering of potential fulfillment

of Layton qualities, all of these

terms and terminology used in the Quran or in the Hadith.

And not particularly these words in the Quran, regarding freedom.

three aspects to human freedom that we have referred to let us

view it from an Islamic perspective.

When the issue of human freedom and Islam

it begins with the notion that we are born free the majority of our

Christian brothers and sisters, they have to believe that we are

born in sin and therefore somebody has to redeem for our sins and pay

with their blood or their lives. In Islam. We don't have that

notion that anybody dies for the sins of anyone else, nor that

anyone is accountable for anyone else. Well, as he was, you know,

to wizard okra was raised in San Illamasqua. law you can live alone

Epson in LA was la Marchesa, but while they are numerous in the

Quran, that clearly indicate individual freedom, accountability

rather for what we do. So we have gone free, we're not born in

original sin without bearing the brunt of anyone else, guilt and

wrongdoing. Second,

given the fact that human beings are free to choose,

and therefore we were somewhat less than angels in the sense that

they don't deviate from the commands of Allah, La Yasunaga,

Hama,

maroon that angels were Allah compatible in all that they do,

but they don't have the free choice,

to disobey.

So in one way, they are purer than us. On the other hand, we have the

capacity to rise above that, in Allah Allah kala kala Mala Iike

Baraka few local, local local Baja worker Buffy Musa wahala ebony

Adam Wanaka, Buffy Malacca Warszawa Allah created angels and

they act upon pure reasoning compatible with the divine, never

deviating. Then he created animals and bees they act upon instinct

and desire and passion that Allah created human beings that has both

the angelic capacity, capacity of doing good in a purity but also in

the animalistic dimension of desire and lust in short, and once

ingredients on and so forth.

Base appetites and Bee's Knees like the animal for men, who are

the shower for who

eat

to that person that human being, whereas both the angelic as well

as the animalistic propensity, who rises above, can rise above the

angel, if they choose to do by choice to do what is best and

good,

then the rise above the angels, we have no choice to do that. But we

can also go lower than the animal

despite having reason and logic, to act upon our basic instinct and

desire as the primary motive of our behavior. So

we need to realize that we have free choice, but

we have the innate ability within ourselves to distinguish right

from wrong. When left sin were Massawa. Not necessarily Muslim,

wala loves movement, not the knifes of a believer or a Muslim.

When they've seen the soul itself. The individual self in this case,

has the inmate capacity when they've seen what Mercer for Allah

Maha voodoo Raha Taqwa it has innate capacity, the natural

disposition to be able to distinguish wrong from right. But

after the Hammonds occur, elevated, successful indeed are

those who purify themselves occur the government and debate are

those who choose to become involved in that which is

nefarious and negative and evil.

You corrupt yourself in that process.

Because we have the notion of choice in our action, that

comprise accountability and its consequences for action, whether

it be the political level or the individual level, social level,

whatever level it may be,

we have a consequence and therefore, Allah says in the Quran

Wakulla insulin, as of now who taught you Rafi? When did you know

who Dr. Murthy kita Yokohama matura Tarbuck Kapha BNF sickle yo

Malika Shiva money in the Maya Dylan FC mandala fine NAMA, your

weather that as he was, you know, to withdraw crops to each person,

the accountability, the Quran is

tied to the next, if you can free yourself from the accountability

and the consequence of your deeds were cooler inside for each human

being with tied to his neck, so to say, he is bound or she is bound

by the deeds.

And those deeds are documented and will be brought forth, documented

in whichever Allah knows, whichever way and will be

presented to us on the Day of Tiama. These are the records of

your deeds

is Kuraki Tarbuck, read the content of what you've done.

Sufficient are your deeds as a testimony against yourself.

Whoever chooses to be guided to choose chose to be guided, have

chosen to be guided for his own good. And whoever chose to go

astray or deviate or denigrate or lower themselves have chosen to do

so at their own peril, but the pay the consequence of that.

So it's important to remember in Islam, that freedom means freedom

to do good, not freedom just to do anything. And therefore in the

Arabic language, the word

that implies a freedom, it also has the connotation of Kurama of

nobility and, of nobleness.

Freedom never exists, like anything else, never exists in a

vacuum.

A type of freedom that respects the other is what you're talking

about. But freedom from moral obligation, freedom to do what is

good, that freedom from doing what is right, freedom, for truth, for

justice, for virtue, and for righteousness.

I have traveled hamdulillah to many, many countries.

And many of my friends I see here some of them will just come back

from overseas and for their testimony to the fact as much as

you appreciate other places. South Africa is among the best countries

in the world.

Freedom of religion and expression will not fall in most countries,

especially Muslim countries. A proud legacy of struggle, a proud

legacy of struggle may have indeed come a long way in a short time.

And don't undermine or underestimate that.

Because we're not trying to be pessimistic, but being realistic

because motivates us

To know what we need to do.

So we have diversity of people rich in mineral resources,

sufficient food, beautiful landscaping land, wonderful

weather, freedom of religion and expression very re in the world

today, proud legacy of strong, proud legacy of struggle.

We have indeed come a long way in a short time. But even the people

fought and died for is much more than that.

24 years after the first democratic election, it feels as

if we have made indeed some great strides in the face of

considerable adversity, coming out of an era of apartheid, and

colonialism. But for those who are in authority, we still have a

break a string of broken fundamental promises

from those who are entrusted the baton of freedom by those who

literally paid with the lives for that freedom.

And nothing is more emblematic, more exact, an example or a

deflection of the 1994 democratic transition than the Laurel

undertaking by those who came to power

to right the wrongs of a party to undo the rungs of a party, but the

promise to level the playing field through rolling back the poison of

the party, its crimes among which was, of course number one,

inequality, injustice, poverty, and unemployment, all of which was

promised, as an integral part of the undertaking of 1994 the

election

and undertaking which recognize the fact that freedom should mean

emancipation, from poverty, from unemployment, racism, from bigotry

in all its forms, and discrimination, and all levels of

inequity and injustice. Freedom should mean a better life for all

of us, irrespective of the color of your skin.

And by that standard, the journey to freedom is still a long way to

go.

So we have indeed traveled a long way on the journey to freedom. I

Certainly, Allah commands justice and goodness and magnanimity to

Doing what is best, and pursuing. What is just is always the

of the pursuit of justice, that in the Quran Allah says ARD who who

So as long as the journey on the path to full freedom continues, we

as Muslims, who have been an integral part of that noble

struggle to ensure that there is a genuine focus on freedom, a

genuine focus on freedom for all the people of our land, a

continued pursuit for peace, for equity, and for justice.

Remember, that we as people of faith should always be a voice of
