The worst thing about this is don't try to link this to
someone's Dean. Absolutely. That doesn't make any sense. I mean,
the the issue, the thing is so complicated. So I said there's
there should be specialists, like, Isn't don't we have an
organization called
What's EMPAC? Yeah. Aren't you supposed to be doing your job?
I've never hear anything from these. It's the first time I hear
but most of them political action committee or whatever, right? I
think they're based out of LA. He should be based out of Washington.
Right. At least he should have an office there. So I'm having in
Northern Virginia. My point is that I'm a common guy, right?
Politics bores me, it's, it's not in there. But I recognize
something's got to be involved. You can't be in a country and just
just sitting there daydreaming, right? You got to be involved,
somehow. But you guys, you guys got to do your job. You're called
EMPAC. I never hear what these people do. I have no clue what
these people do. And if they had done something good, I was
supported behind it, you know, 100%. Right. And and this is why
when people try to make others feel guilty about, you know, doing
work, right. This is why, you know, I don't think that's the
right way to go about it, making people feel guilty. When, you
know, if I wanted to get my street paved, you know how much of a
headache that is in the local Township, let alone changing these
humongous institutions, right, and policies that have been in place
and will continue to be in place, because their special interests a
million times bigger and more powerful than you. Right? Doing
it. So that's why I'm a bit critical about making people feel
guilty, that they're not part of the political process when it's
not a defined practice. Oh, absolutely. And I think you were
just saying this before, is a lot of people hate the spiritual types
because they think that we're actually the problem is a problem.
They think you're gonna sit around in the masjid and pray all day.
But let me tell you something. Let me tell you something. First of
all, the way of Prophets, they put a lot more emphasis on the prayer
on obeying Allah and being unlined with Allah in all of our success,
right? Worldly and otherworldly. Right? than anything else. Okay,
and that now, they all said action, okay. But they all
Prophets always gave us objective action, not something subjective,
which I don't even know how to do, you know, which I don't know how
to do. And I'm admitting I don't know how to do it. I wish EMPAC
would actually do something or whoever these people are. And I
told you before, people have always asked me, I taught
politics, it bores the life out of me, right. Someone else do. I
mean, you're, you're you're a teacher of you know, we're, you
know, we're, we're studying the dean here. Yeah, we were out busy
studying politics, and we couldn't be doing this right stroke. So
each,
each person has their special and that's what I see that
tests come to us for reasons, right? We are supposed to have
tests in this life. When when I saw a lot of people panicking. And
like I said, I want to look at it with an eye of compassion, because
there are people out there and Arkansas, St. Louis, Missouri, all
these there are Muslims out these places, right? Absolutely. They
deserve compassion. Because stinks. Get violent, right? There
already was Trump graffiti. What did you tell me? Today? There were
struggles at NYU, NYU, at the prayer in outside the prayer room.
They weren't like the day I think they wrote Trump. Yeah, yeah,
they're all Trump on it. I mean, that's, and that's, that's scary.
And I'm not putting that down at all right. And I, to the point
that, you know, even my wife before I left this morning, she
was like, you know, be careful when you when you go to work. And
that's a scary thought. But at the same time, right, I was talking to
my Arabic teacher is he's actually in Egypt. And he was like, you
know, he's like, it's kind of funny. When I look at Americans
and I see your election. He's like, you guys, he just like even
American Muslims is like you guys are complaining about, you know,
this not somebody calling you a name out in the street. He's like,
we got CC.
He's like, we have CC. For decades. These people could not go
to prefetcher regularly without thinking that you might get picked
up on they're better off here than we are there from from being Yeah,
exactly. I mean, and forget, like I'm you know, I'm from I'm from
India, and there are places in India if you're a Muslim, you
can't do certain things. For them, right. Yeah, it's, it's, it's
forget like, Oh, somebody's calling you a name because like
your hijab was, you know, you're wearing hijab, which is rough. I
understand. But come on now. Right the Sahaba make a comparison.
Yeah, like let's make a comparison here. Right the the prophets and
the Companions right they went through torture Hmm. Now difficult
this is the thing that that without being mean or or not being
losing compassion for people who are you know, having feelings
Everyone has the right to have feelings, right? Without that, but
I also want to make a comparison because I've actually believe it
or not, we growing up William
memorizing the Quran you memorize things like salted Bhuj. Right?
This is in Joe's AMA. It's in the last Joe's. And he Sunday school
will cover the Tafseer of the last Joe's right? And you look at Susan
Bucha, what did they say they had us have a look, dude, these people
have the ditch. That means in the past, if you're a part of an
ethnicity that they didn't want, or a religion that they didn't
want around, they dug a ditch and they got rid of you. They
ethnically cleanse that area by digging a ditch filling it with
fire. And this was routine. The era there was an epoch, an era in
which people did this to other people routinely. And Allah told
us, they did it to the believers, and the tafsir tells us they would
do it to the Jews. Pagans would do it to Jews, or we would call them
Benny Israel, because they were still believing people at the
time. Right? They were up they were believing in their prophets.
And they would do it to the early Christians, right?
And they would stop everyone at the road at the main highway. And
they would say, Well, who was your God? One simple question. If you
answered that it was ALLAH. Okay. They threw you in the ditch. They
arrested you. They took you, they threw you in a ditch, and they
lined them up on one at a time pushed him into the ditch of fire.
Now think about this. I'm an 11 year old kid, 12 year old kid. I'm
reading this in the Quran. I'm sitting repeating Lee repeatedly
reciting us how we look dude, right and nary that record, no
matter how cold which means the fire, you know, filled with, with
enough wood to light it up into my lab code. They're sitting there
looking at this fire. Right? What am I the man I don't even know
when we need it. So good. Okay, and they're just then pushed one
after the other into this. And I'm thinking to myself, this makes me
think we got problems. Trying we don't have problems, no problems,
right? So Allah azza wa jal has already taken us to the extent.
He's shown us what the spectrum is. And the problem is, right,
this is when we forget what the spectrum is. And not only that,
not only did that happen to them, look at how they responded of the
few babies that ever spoke
is one woman who thought to herself, I just have a newborn
baby. Maybe if I say that I worship their god. Then I run away
and I raise my son and we worship Allah together. Make sense? Right,
which is in our religion is called what? takia is Hillel? This is the
cochlea. That's right. Okay, where you're going to be killed for your
event, you could tell a lie.
And you have the baby. So what is this baby Speaking section? No,
the baby said no, say Allah and Allah take care of us. He said
Allah, they both went in there, right? They both got pushed to the
fire. And they went agenda. So it goes to show us right, not only
did they suffer something great and Allah put it in the Sunnah
that the children memorize, so that we have a perspective here of
what troubles and problems really our but also they were they took
it with pride.
