And let me tell you another thing. And this is my commentary to these

00:00:03 --> 00:00:04

the Islamic parties out there

00:00:06 --> 00:00:14

is Surya only becomes law when the people want it. Look at the time

00:00:14 --> 00:00:18

of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam Mecca 13 years. Then

00:00:18 --> 00:00:22

many years in Medina then Shara I started to come down after the

00:00:22 --> 00:00:26

amount of people was so strong and they wanted Sharia. They wanted

00:00:26 --> 00:00:32

it. So I am totally against. There is no hikma no wisdom, it is

00:00:32 --> 00:00:35

foolish. I'm totally against someone to come take over a

00:00:35 --> 00:00:38

country and establish Sharia. You you cause a fitna for the people.

00:00:39 --> 00:00:41

Because why they've been Jabba the prophesy centum said, if at Daniel

00:00:41 --> 00:00:45

and dam live, why bringing religion at a higher level than

00:00:45 --> 00:00:48

the people can handle? So that he was praying with students at

00:00:48 --> 00:00:54

Bacara with his people, and the people were farmers, it's the end

00:00:54 --> 00:00:59

of the day, it saw to Asia. He was tired, he wants to sleep and eat,

00:01:00 --> 00:01:03

to eat and go to sleep, and said no other bingeable is a young man.

00:01:04 --> 00:01:06

He's full of religious zeal and fervor. What does he do?

00:01:08 --> 00:01:12

He prays with them, and if meme and what are the people doing?

00:01:12 --> 00:01:15

They're like, Okay, we know the Quran we know this is suited

00:01:15 --> 00:01:18

Bacara right. And we know at the time, whenever someone started a

00:01:18 --> 00:01:21

sutra, he would finish the whole sutra there was no such thing as

00:01:21 --> 00:01:23

reciting a portion of a sutra. Right?

00:01:24 --> 00:01:25

And if Lam Meem

00:01:26 --> 00:01:30

I'm sorry, I gotta go. I said I'm on equal go pray on the side and

00:01:30 --> 00:01:31

goes to eat okay.

00:01:32 --> 00:01:36

I sent him I was informed. These people are leaving the prayer.

00:01:37 --> 00:01:42

Right. Wilde said their moon ethics. So that man went to the

00:01:42 --> 00:01:46

Prophet peace be upon, caught up in them rather than here mean even

00:01:46 --> 00:01:50

if he's accusing me of hypocrisy, right? The prophesy centum said

00:01:50 --> 00:01:54

bring while he said while he accuses men of hypocrisy. He says

00:01:54 --> 00:01:59

yes, he says why? He says because he leaves the Salah and prefers a

00:01:59 --> 00:02:04

small Salah. So he can go eat and fill his stomach and sleep and

00:02:04 --> 00:02:05

rest his eyes in his head.

00:02:06 --> 00:02:10

And the man in the province says, Is this true? He says also the

00:02:10 --> 00:02:14

law. I'm working all day. And I'm tired at the end of the day, and I

00:02:14 --> 00:02:17

want to go sleep and eat. And I have to get up tomorrow at

00:02:17 --> 00:02:21

sunrise. These are farmers remember? Okay. So the province

00:02:21 --> 00:02:24

said effort then when are you going to cause fitna? Are you

00:02:24 --> 00:02:28

going to bring religion at this level when the people are tired?

00:02:28 --> 00:02:34

Right? Or likewise? Some matters require some desire an Amen. All

00:02:34 --> 00:02:37

right. So um, my philosophy regarding

00:02:38 --> 00:02:40

political Islam is that

00:02:41 --> 00:02:45

the UN is not my vase was really the Sunnah. The people must have a

00:02:45 --> 00:02:49

desire for it first, right? They must have a wanting for it first,

00:02:49 --> 00:02:54

if you failed to create desire, then don't use force. You have

00:02:54 --> 00:02:56

failed to create desire, right?

00:02:58 --> 00:03:02

You can't fail that. But then give yourself permission to use force.

00:03:02 --> 00:03:07

No, you have to create conviction, or of course, create conviction.

00:03:07 --> 00:03:11

We can't this data is from Allah. But you have to do your job in

00:03:11 --> 00:03:16

making people love this thing. make them want it. Right then when

00:03:16 --> 00:03:20

they want it. They will call upon their government to use to bring

00:03:20 --> 00:03:23

the hokum of Allah because that's what they want. Now look at the

00:03:23 --> 00:03:27

Romanians and the time of saying that Imam Abu Hanifa Raja Allahu

00:03:27 --> 00:03:33

Anhu. The bene will may have had a judge, okay? The maid governor of

00:03:34 --> 00:03:39

Kufa was doing his rounds. He found the judge. Every day, he

00:03:39 --> 00:03:42

wakes up in the morning, he gets his salary from the venue Omega

00:03:42 --> 00:03:43

good.

00:03:44 --> 00:03:49

Every day, this man wakes up and go as his breakfast and goes and

00:03:49 --> 00:03:53

sits in the middle of Abu Hanifa. All day and all night. Right. So

00:03:53 --> 00:03:56

the governor says to him, are we paying you to sit in the madness

00:03:56 --> 00:04:01

of Abu Hanifa you're the judge. He said if Abu Hanifa is in the city,

00:04:01 --> 00:04:05

I'm unemployed, no one is going to come to me. Right? No one's coming

00:04:05 --> 00:04:09

to me. They say oh, you're the state judge. So they all go to Abu

00:04:09 --> 00:04:12

Hanifa for judgment, right and I have nothing to do. So when the

00:04:12 --> 00:04:17

people have to desire this Islam, right. And I'm telling you, if you

00:04:17 --> 00:04:21

push too hard in Islam, you create a fitna, you make people go the

00:04:21 --> 00:04:23

opposite way. So therefore you should have watched the prophesy

00:04:23 --> 00:04:27

said and said you he called he talked to some Sahaba are like

00:04:27 --> 00:04:30

someone if the animal runs away, what do you do you run after it?

00:04:30 --> 00:04:35

What happens? The animal runs further away. He said, But I when

00:04:35 --> 00:04:40

the animal runs away, I take its most beloved food and I shake it

00:04:41 --> 00:04:44

until the animal comes to eat from it and when it eats from it, then

00:04:44 --> 00:04:50

I can grab its rope with no harm. Okay. So what is that Prophet just

00:04:50 --> 00:04:55

proven that he proved that you must first be able to attract and

00:04:55 --> 00:05:00

convince before you can use legislation and force

00:05:00 --> 00:05:00

In

00:05:02 --> 00:05:05

order to do all

00:05:07 --> 00:05:08

of us
