AI: Summary ©
The speaker discusses a course they will be taking together to address the impact of the coronavirus on people and their bodies. They explain that they have been preparing a text and reading it every week, but they find it difficult to read it in a practical way. They also mention that people have been rejecting the concept of being an innovation, which is counterproductive, and that they have been preparing the text in different ways.

That's a question.
Yes, sir. Okay. Awesome. So, inshallah, what we're
going to do is go through a course
together. I I know that many of us
are feeling a lot of stress,
the need for community is real. You know,
nothing reveals the need for each other like
being kept away from things that perhaps we've
taken for granted for so long, and this
coronavirus is impacting, of course, a large number
of people
in the world and in New Jersey, and
we ask Allah to
protect us, Inshallah, and others, and we ask
Allah for those who may have been,
infected by this virus that Allah will protect
them and make the cure,
inshallah quickly, inshallah quickly. So,
my friend Sharif actually asked me to sit
with everybody and read,
once a week, text, Insha'Allah.
So I've been preparing the text and you
have to forgive me, that's why I'm I'm
a little bit late,
getting here.
But this is a text that I thought
we could read together really on, practical.
Oftentimes, we find
being posited in the community in different ways.
One is perhaps
making the focus of the religious leader
or the group and not really the the
focus of tasawaf, which should be Allah.
Or we find people completely rejecting tasawaf as
being an innovation,
as something which is, you know, contrary,
contradicting the Quran and sunnah.
