But they give prestige to BCC College. They
give prestige to the course their kids are
taking somewhere else. They give prestige to every
other knowledge but the Quran.
And the prophet
says you should not know other knowledge is
superior to the knowledge of the Quran.
But the parents
plan this in the children.
The parents spend time, they spend money, they
make effort to make sure that children are
all par, sophisticated,
educated in the secular world, in the materialistic
world. But when it's Quran,
if they have time, we drop them a
dar al lalum. Sometimes I see kids that
say, sister, how come I didn't see the
boy for classes when he had some homework?
You know? I'm like,
yeah. Homework is what homework? School homework. You
know, that homework is more important than Allah's
work, you know?
Allah's Quran, we don't give that priority.
And besides they don't even contribute the $20
a week to the kids
or a month,
they don't even take the interest for the
kids to memorize their work,
to learn the Quran. You teachers spending their
time
free teaching,
and I don't want your parents to feel
guilty,
but unfortunately this is the work of the
devil today. So So I'm reminding myself first
and everybody else.
You know, we make issues for the kids.
Do their school work, make good grades in
school, good grades in school.
Masjid, just send them. You have no time
in the evening, you have some spare time,
spare time on Sunday, send them to learn
Quran. Whether they learn or not, they'll make
numbers, we'll get them out so we could
go to JCPenney and go to the mall
and do our shopping while they're in the
school in the Madrid street.
A lot of people do that.
It is so sad.
When the Quran is of that
that status in our life, the Quran are
the words of Allah.
I you go to some masajid in in
America and in the world today, people who
vie to be on sure counsel, they can't
even read Quran.
They want a position. They're spending a $100,000
to build something in a masjid so they
could get a position. They want position in
the masjid, but they don't want position in
the eyes of Allah because it's a position
for the people to see them in status.
It's not about reading the Quran, so on
the day of judgment, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
will say, you know there's a hadith of
the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam, on the day
of judgment Allah will tell the people,
read, enter Jannah, and read the Quran, and
read and read until you stop reading. And
wherever you stop reading, that will be your
spot. Allahu Akbar.
Allahu Akbar.
The more Quran we know, the more Quran
we study, that's as far as we're going
to jannah.
So it's all different categories of problems we
suffer today. That's why you could have a
a man sit next to me right here
in South Florida
and say, Quran need to be destroyed. Quran
is dangerous. It's bad for today. It's not
the woods. Because people not they're not really
seeing the Muslims practicing and living the Quran.
If we live it, if we read it,
if we recite it, if we practice it,
and if we put it into action, we
might be the good examples for them.
And
that's the problem.
Brothers and sisters,
I'm telling you, I I saw in the
last few weeks, man, Muslims crazy behind
and food and everything. But you tell those
500 Muslims come and learn to read the
Quran.
If they come to read it, they're reading
it Caribbean style,
Guyanese style, Bangladeshi
style, Pakistani
style, Indian style, but they're not reading it
Quranic style.
Allah commands in the Quran that when you
recite the Quran, read the Quran with slow
measure proper pronunciation
and intonation. The way Allah expects us to
read it, not Caribbean and in Indian style.
But Islam is a show business nowadays.
You go to some of the organizations and
whether they like me or they don't like
me.
Now we have reached a stage. Look at
what has happened, brothers and sisters. Let's face
We're
attracting Muslims by comedy.
You don't attract Muslims by Quran anymore? Oh,
if you say, boy,
Quranic recitation
by so on.
I could put on I could listen to
that.
You hear me and
can't come into town?
Boy, people paying $500 for a ticket to
go to Orlando.
I I don't know these modern nowadays Indian
style. I just remember those names, like, when
I was studying in India, I I used
to see it all over the place.
Some of the all your foreign
singers and all that you have on all
your TV and ZTV and all the channels.
People spend 100 of dollars. Now we're attracting
you go to some I mean, Allah forgive
me for Isna and Ikhna representatives here. Please,
nothing to be offended about. It's not your
fault. It's just what has happened to the
people. That that's what the people like, so
we tend to give them what they like.
So you attract 30, 40000 people because you
got singers coming.
Singers with music coming.
And you have a big show in the
hotel, and when the time come for the
real Islam, a few people listening to the
real taqwa and the party and the majority
in the the comedy show and all the
music activities.
That's what has happened today. Go check go
go go check the online, see how many
Muslim functions and they're attracted by those things.
Because we have we have lost that love
for Allah in the Quran.
You know?
I don't like to say the sea on
the pulpit,
but Allah forgive me, I have to say
it.
That's why the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam says,
if you follow a people,
if you follow a people for who are
men whom, then you are like them.
And the prophet prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
has also said
that a time will come
that the Muslims will follow. And with due
respect,
because I have been the president of former
president of the interfaith council. So I need
to say nothing to criticize anybody, and I
don't want anybody misrepresent me because I have
a lot of non Muslims who look at
the Haqq Mativi and look at the Khutbas
here. But there's a hadith in which the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam said that the Muslims
will
follow the Jews and Christians even if they
go into a lizard hole.
