Shadee Elmasry – Do your job and leave the rest to Allah

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.
