And let me tell you another thing. And this is my commentary to these
the Islamic parties out there
is Surya only becomes law when the people want it. Look at the time
of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam Mecca 13 years. Then
many years in Medina then Shara I started to come down after the
amount of people was so strong and they wanted Sharia. They wanted
it. So I am totally against. There is no hikma no wisdom, it is
foolish. I'm totally against someone to come take over a
country and establish Sharia. You you cause a fitna for the people.
Because why they've been Jabba the prophesy centum said, if at Daniel
and dam live, why bringing religion at a higher level than
the people can handle? So that he was praying with students at
Bacara with his people, and the people were farmers, it's the end
of the day, it saw to Asia. He was tired, he wants to sleep and eat,
to eat and go to sleep, and said no other bingeable is a young man.
He's full of religious zeal and fervor. What does he do?
He prays with them, and if meme and what are the people doing?
They're like, Okay, we know the Quran we know this is suited
Bacara right. And we know at the time, whenever someone started a
sutra, he would finish the whole sutra there was no such thing as
reciting a portion of a sutra. Right?
And if Lam Meem
I'm sorry, I gotta go. I said I'm on equal go pray on the side and
goes to eat okay.
I sent him I was informed. These people are leaving the prayer.
Right. Wilde said their moon ethics. So that man went to the
Prophet peace be upon, caught up in them rather than here mean even
if he's accusing me of hypocrisy, right? The prophesy centum said
bring while he said while he accuses men of hypocrisy. He says
yes, he says why? He says because he leaves the Salah and prefers a
small Salah. So he can go eat and fill his stomach and sleep and
rest his eyes in his head.
And the man in the province says, Is this true? He says also the
law. I'm working all day. And I'm tired at the end of the day, and I
want to go sleep and eat. And I have to get up tomorrow at
sunrise. These are farmers remember? Okay. So the province
said effort then when are you going to cause fitna? Are you
going to bring religion at this level when the people are tired?
Right? Or likewise? Some matters require some desire an Amen. All
right. So um, my philosophy regarding
political Islam is that
the UN is not my vase was really the Sunnah. The people must have a
desire for it first, right? They must have a wanting for it first,
if you failed to create desire, then don't use force. You have
failed to create desire, right?
You can't fail that. But then give yourself permission to use force.
No, you have to create conviction, or of course, create conviction.
We can't this data is from Allah. But you have to do your job in
making people love this thing. make them want it. Right then when
they want it. They will call upon their government to use to bring
the hokum of Allah because that's what they want. Now look at the
Romanians and the time of saying that Imam Abu Hanifa Raja Allahu
Anhu. The bene will may have had a judge, okay? The maid governor of
Kufa was doing his rounds. He found the judge. Every day, he
wakes up in the morning, he gets his salary from the venue Omega
good.
Every day, this man wakes up and go as his breakfast and goes and
sits in the middle of Abu Hanifa. All day and all night. Right. So
the governor says to him, are we paying you to sit in the madness
of Abu Hanifa you're the judge. He said if Abu Hanifa is in the city,
I'm unemployed, no one is going to come to me. Right? No one's coming
to me. They say oh, you're the state judge. So they all go to Abu
Hanifa for judgment, right and I have nothing to do. So when the
people have to desire this Islam, right. And I'm telling you, if you
push too hard in Islam, you create a fitna, you make people go the
opposite way. So therefore you should have watched the prophesy
said and said you he called he talked to some Sahaba are like
someone if the animal runs away, what do you do you run after it?
What happens? The animal runs further away. He said, But I when
the animal runs away, I take its most beloved food and I shake it
until the animal comes to eat from it and when it eats from it, then
I can grab its rope with no harm. Okay. So what is that Prophet just
proven that he proved that you must first be able to attract and
convince before you can use legislation and force
In
