00:00:00 --> 00:00:00
			It's very empowering,
		
00:00:01 --> 00:00:04
			very liberating. And we as Muslims, we have
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:05
			a mandate. This is called Carmel and Islam
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:06
			stuff.
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:08
			Where people just argue about me using mortgages
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:11
			and this and that. Go to Andalus. Go
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:12
			to Mallorca, the islands.
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:14
			69% of the water that still comes to
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:16
			them were built by Muslim engineers in the
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:18
			10th century. They won't argue about how long
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:19
			your Thobe is.
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:22
			A a a defeated community
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:24
			turns particulars
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:26
			into the big issues.
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:29
			Because it doesn't have a mandate. It doesn't
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:31
			feel confident. W did what I talked about
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:33
			double consciousness. Is that double consciousness when when
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:36
			us that we have to stop thinking about
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
			making other people happy not in the sense
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:39
			of the irresponsibility.
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:42
			But we also have religious obligations, like to
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:43
			bring good to people. Look at DC now.
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45
			People die everyday getting shot.
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48
			We have a methamphetamine problem, I believe. You
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:50
			know, across the country, we have many physicians
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:51
			open up clinics. Look at Muslims do a
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:52
			great work. I'm the left. I have a
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:53
			mandate for goodness.
