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.
