			Inshallah, we plan to start this every Friday
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:03
			evening,
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:07
			around 11
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:10
			Eastern time, 11:30 Eastern time with,
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:13
			Suahib Webb Institute inshallah. And this is the
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:15
			book as you can see it here. Passion
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:16
			is not enough to
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:18
			answer questions.
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:21
			Passion does not equate to learning.
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:23
			Right? So just because I may be passionate
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:26
			about something does not necessarily mean I'm the
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:27
			most qualified
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:31
			to be to be answering those questions.
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:32
			That's why Mutanabbi,
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:34
			the great Arab
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:38
			said,
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:43
			mutalabbi said that to think
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:46
			before you're brave is to be brave twice.
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:50
			To think before you're brave is to be
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:50
			brave twice.
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:53
			So it's not enough just to be passionate,
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55
			you know, it's not enough for you just
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:56
			to love Islam,
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
			or to believe that Islam is the Haqq.
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00
			If you really believe that, then you'll learn
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:02
			about it. And you'll learn about it in
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04
			a way that allows you to defend it
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:06
			because we defend what we love,
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:10
			Right? We passionately love what we love, but
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:11
			also we passionately
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:14
			defend and put ourselves in position
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:15
			to defend what we love.
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:18
			And the front line of defense is is
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:19
			the intellect
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:22
			and is the mind. So, InshaAllah, I I
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:25
			really think that people will benefit from this
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:25
			text.
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:28
			I encourage you to take notes. It's heavy.
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:31
			You know, it's it's going to present a
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:33
			lot of ideas that that are gonna kind
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:35
			of compel you to think,
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:38
			in a constructive as well as critical way.
