00:00:00 --> 00:00:03
			There's a hadith attributed to
this surah in which the Prophet
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:06
			peace be upon him said people will
enter this religion in droves and
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:09
			likewise they will exit in droves.
As soon as the worldly situation
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:13
			of the religion of Islam and
Muslims changes and AI different
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:16
			ideas spread and become
attractive, you see people exiting
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:21
			in droves, and it's really weighs
down on me sometimes when
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:27
			I see a lot of people, literally,
their comments that I hear from
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:33
			them that they write is absolute
apostasy and, and COFA disbelief,
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:39
			and yet their names are Mohammed
or Osman or Aisha, right. And I'm
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:43
			just wondering exactly how exact
what exactly to this degree is the
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:48
			ignorance. And this is exactly why
we're studying Arabic. Because if
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:52
			there's anything that made me
study, it's having a relative who
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:55
			was an apostate. Okay, maybe our
guests, our family was ahead of
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:58
			the curve in that respect. We had
a relative who was an apostate.
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:02
			And I thought to myself, Oh, well,
not only do we have relatives in
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:05
			Boston, we had two generations in
a row in which we had an apostate
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:09
			in the family, someone who left
Islam. So I thought it was a well,
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:15
			I mean, I'm actually the next in
line, because it was the boys in
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:18
			the family. Right? And I thought,
well, I'm, that's my, that's also
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:22
			my origin. So how do I how do I
know that I'm not going to follow
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:26
			in their footsteps. So I started
to delve into Dean and really get
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:29
			in get involved at a fear of that
happening. And we should all have
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:32
			that. Because nowadays,
unfortunately, it's not really,
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:34
			I'm afraid my daughter is going to
have a boyfriend. Yeah, that's
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:38
			bad. I'm afraid my son's gonna
smoke marijuana. Yeah, that's bad.
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:40
			But you really should also be on
the radar. And if it's not in your
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:45
			radar, get it on your radar, that
simply leaving Islam, right, and
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:49
			exposure to certain exposure to
certain
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:54
			certain ideas, certain thinkers,
without being armed with knowledge
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:59
			is a poison that will poison a
person's event. Okay, it will, it
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:00
			will spoil and it will
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:04
			eat away at a person's event if
they don't have knowledge. So this
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:08
			is why I want you, the reader
never to imagine that you could
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:11
			keep going without knowing Arabic
and knowing the sources directly.
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:15
			Okay, because the greatest aid for
Russia for fear of Allah azza wa
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:19
			jal, and the having all of Allah
is knowledge. Allah says in the
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:23
			max, Allah has been a bad deal or
lemma. Verily, people of knowledge
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:28
			are the ones who truly fear Allah.
Alright, have all forgot. So don't
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30
			if you're sitting there and your
sister and you're not wearing
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:33
			hijab, and you just work and but
you love Islam, and here you are
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:36
			taking this little Arabic course.
Don't imagine that there's a gulf
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:40
			between you and knowledge,
Bridget, and don't say, Oh, well,
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:44
			I'm not doing this or that. Okay,
fine. Don't write the knowledge
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:47
			will change you. If over time, you
don't have to change yourself. The
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:50
			knowledge will change. You don't
think oh, I have to do this before
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:54
			I can learn. It's not how it
works, right? Just learn and save
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:58
			your Islam by learning because
these days you have to save your
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:02
			Islam solely by learning. Alright,
so we'll stop here and we'll pick
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:06
			up the next next Surah which is
sudut l care if you don't
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:10
			ironically, right. We were just
talking about disbelief and the
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:13
			fear of disbelief. So that'll be
the next suit in the next video.
