I see you here. Happy birthday to Manis.
Everybody wish
wish my amazing niece,
a happy birthday.
Bless her and give her a long
incredible life.
Assalamu alaykum to everybody. Welcome to our nightly
program
here at Swiss.
Our
gatherings
that are happening on the regular here. On
all of our social media
outlets.
And we've been going through every Tuesday, Wednesday,
and Thursday night, a short gathering together, a
short time together to dedicate to Islamic studies.
Islamic Studies are very important. Tuesday nights are
dedicated to faith and Ihsan. Wednesdays are dedicated
to, like, contemporary issues. And then Alhamdulillah,
our our Thursday night is dedicated
to working on our hearts and creating
a capacity for worship. Alhamdulillah.
Tonight, we're talking about faith and Ihsan,
and that's very important because oftentimes faith is
taught in a way that creates divisions,
and we don't wanna do that here at
we want to make sure
that we're teaching faith in a way that
strengthens
our community, strengthens
our relationships with one another,
and increases
us, alhamdulillah,
in our higher and our ability
to do good.
The prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, he located
this idea of faith in Hassan in a
very beautiful hadith, which was said to
a very young
companion.
At that time, ibn Abbas, his nephew, was
very young.
And the prophet
said to him, I'm going to teach you
some words of wisdom.
I want to teach you some some words
of wisdom.
And
his nephew,
you know,
said, of course, teach me. And he said,
Ihfa'lihlaha
yafak,
which means
be mindful of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
and Allah who Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
will take care of you.
Like, SubhanAllah.
Imagine imagine this kind of
statement
given to say to you
Be mindful of Allah.
Be mindful of Allah,
and Allah
will take care of
you. Be mindful of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
and you will find Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
in front of you.
If you ask,
ask Allah.
If you seek help,
seek the help of Allah. And that's the
type of iman that we want.
That's the type of relationship we wanna have
with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. So this
Tuesday night
is dedicated to faith at Ghassan,
not to divisions, not to fighting, not to
talking about people, not to attacking that person.
No. No. Tuesday nights,
our goal is to be from the
Allah
says in the Quran
Allah
loves the people of
And Allah
says,
from those those people who live lives of
Ihsan, there is Husna, meaning Jannah.
So
we we want to appreciate
the the powerful
opportunity that we have
to
be together
and to focus on
And the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam,
he said, Yesen
is to worship Allah
as though you see him.
And if you can't see him, at least
he you know he sees you.
So we wanna start this
3rd session with that goal in mind. And
I mentioned the evidence for
found in the statement of the prophet
to a young person. So if you're young
and you're watching, you have to be very
careful that
the world doesn't tell you, well, you're young.
You don't have to worry about faith. You're
young. You don't have to worry about religion.
You're you're young. You don't have to worry
about obedience. If you die tomorrow, you're old
today.
And the smart young person is the one
who uses
and employs
their youth for Allah.
That's why the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam,
he said, Saba'a
7.
They will be shaded by Allah on a
day when there's no shade but the shade
of Allah. And one of them is the
young person,
nasha'a.
The use is their youth for Allah.
Use is their youth for Ibad. How many
young people they're using and wasting their youth
worshiping everything and serving everything, but Allah is
serving good.
So the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam,
he says to Sayedid ibn Abbas salatiallahu anhu
at that time, ibn Abbas is under 13
years old.
He says, You hulam,
oh young man, Inmi wa'alimooka
kalimat.
I'm gonna teach you some words of wisdom.
You fa'adillaha
yafak.
Be mindful of Allah,
and Allah will be mindful of you. And
he take care of your relationship with Allah.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will take care of
his relationship with you.
Whoever is dudufo to Allah, Allah gives them
a and
exit out of any situation. So this is
Ihsan.
This is the type of that we wanna
have. When our focus is on Allah, the
obedience of Allah, being dutiful to Allah, serving
people,
and being those who serve others and heal
a fractured world. So that's the goal of
our class together that we spend
insha'Allah over the next few weeks. Sheikh
Ahmed Al Tardir, the book that we're reading
from, he says,
The Shayi opens up his book. He says,
It is an obligation upon the responsible person.
And last week we talked about responsibility.
Ma'arifah.
The word ma'arifah is translated as to know.
But it's important to understand there's a difference
between il and ma'arifah.
We say about knowledge.
Is something that was preceded by ignorant.
Is something that was not preceded by ignorance.
That's why we say Allah Alim.
But marifa,
masabaqahu
al jahlu.
Marifa is something that was preceded by ignorance.
So that's why the word marifa is from
the word Af. Af means something hot.
Something
that,
you know, sticks out.
That's why I say
and that's why
we say about the customs of a people.
It sticks out. So
is learning something that's obvious.
Learning something that's obvious. So we say
It means Allah's existence is obvious.
Allah's existence
is obvious. We just have to pay attention.
But
and so the sheikh, he says
that the first way
the work first way to step in to
being a person who lives a life as
though they see Allah even though they can't
see him. They know he sees them.
Is to push into learning about who Allah
is.
To push in. And Al Qadi Abu Bakr,
he says that the knowledge of Allah is
not something you can dream, not something you
can feel. It's not a notion.
The knowledge of Allah has to be learned
from the Quran and sunnah.
From the the book of Allah
and the messenger of Allah.
Allah says about the Quran that he can
keep tabul now right buffet. No doubt in
the book.
He says about the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
The prophet doesn't speak from his desires.
So you have an opportunity with me now
to learn
a classical textbook that's taught in the Azhar.
Right now, can you imagine how lucky you
are?
Years ago, we had to travel to learn
this. You have an opportunity.
And it's rare to be able to learn
in an organized way. So take it seriously.
Try to attend every time. Try to take
notes. Try to focus. Try to learn.
Because one of the things I worry about
is I see quite a few people online
arguing with the Christians, arguing with other religions,
and they use the bible
or they use Christianity
to argue with the Christians. That makes me
think, do they really know Islam? Because if
you know Islam,
you don't need to use the Bible to
argue with Christians. If you really know Islam,
you don't you don't have to use
their stuff. Also, it's disrespectful to them. They
have their own scholarship.
But if we know Islam,
we can spread Islam with Islam.
And everything else is like salt on the
food.
That's why Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, says to
the prophet,
Say the truth. But if I haven't learned
if I haven't learned the truth, how can
I spread it? So then I have to
use other things around me that don't demand
that I'm disciplined because learning takes discipline. To
go into a dojo takes discipline. So it's
much more easier to sort of skip around
learning Islam
and just
talk.
But there is an art to this. There
is a fun, the funun of Dawah,
and the first obligation is to learn. It
doesn't mean we can't use those other things,
but that shouldn't be the main course of
our Dawah.
A very simple argument you can say to
any Christian is we're gonna learn today
from Islam.
So sheikh Ahmed Abdardir and and and that's
emblematic of the fact that we don't know
our deen. We actually know other people's stuff
that we won't know more than we know
our own stuff. That's a problem.
If I wanna spread the light, I have
to use the light. I can't use darkness
to spread the light, man.
So I want you to take it seriously.
He says
it's an obligation upon the responsible person
to learn.
What is an obligation
to god?
That's the first step. And my first step
towards is
to learn
because no one can be a better Muslim
than the prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. No
one can be more aware of Allah than
the prophet Alaihi Salam and all of the
prophets from Adam
to Abraham, to David, to Moses,
to Mohammed,
to
say that Jesus,
alayhi salaam.
So I have to to to learn as
the prophets learn and walk as the prophets
walk and step as the prophets step and
push in as the prophets push in. And
there's something important
that all of the prophets, alayhi musalatu wa
salam, were taught. That's
why Allah says,
We taught you what you didn't know, Talking
to the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
And the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
has said,
that knowledge is acquired by learning.
And one of the dangers we had to
be careful of now since 2016, especially in
the world
Because politics has taken such a role in
society
that
the ideas of secular politics
and the language of secular politics
has seeped into everything
and even religion.
And in many ways, this may,
you know, deliberately
secularize the Muslim mind who now is thinking
with a a Western
political
epistemological
framework.
So no longer do we say, hubidah,
fisc,
then we say liberal conservative.
Our language
is the greatest
indicator of our our being the victims
of colonization.
The words that we use to describe things,
the terms that we use to talk about
things are an indication of what occupies our
spiritual
and intellectual
space. So now it's very common to hear
Muslims even when they talk about each others.
Even when they talk about others, they won't
use religious terminology.
They will use secular political terminology.
If you want to engage in decoloniality,
learn Arabic.
If you want to push into decoloniality,
learn the language of the Quran because
every revolution that happened in the Muslim world
started around the halaqaq of the book of
Allah,
the Quran.
So take these opportunities that you have tonight
seriously.
Take notes
and you're learning a very important text.
But if I'm occupied by political nomenclature and
secular ideology to the point that that that
now becomes my the of my mostlalahat,
The the the, you know, the reference for
the terms I use. This is the greatest
indication that I am
untethered and unmoored from
revelation
and occupied and used
by agents of colonality.
Even maybe in the name of something good.
So be careful.
So the sheikh, he says,
the first obligation is to know, to learn
what is an obligation for us as Muslims
to believe about god. I have a very
interesting experience because I said earlier, I worry
about people who make dua using
the sources of other religions
exclusively.
You we should make dawah to Islam with
Islam. We should make dawah to the haqq
with the haqq. We should make dawah to
the light with the light. And I'll give
you an example. The book that I'm teaching
you now, I translated it.
It's a book that I said is taught
on the ezom to young children.
I translated it into English, and there was
a a non Muslim woman, evangelical Christian sister
in Georgia
who I was at a camp and she
saw my book and she said,
brother, can I have a copy of your
book? I said, absolutely.
Man, this woman, she took this big book
home and the next day she came to
the camp.
Man, she had the book and she had
so many notes. It looked like a subway
that had been, like, filled with her feet.
And she said to me, I read this
book from the beginning to the end. It's
a short text.
And listen to what she told me.
She said, Muslims are different than Christians.
I understand now after reading your book.
She said, Muslims
believe in God,
and we believe in Jesus.
And then she said, did I just say
that? I said, yes. You did. You just
said that, and I caught you.
And I said, what did you mean by
we believe in God
and you believe in Jesus?
And she said, the
God of Islam
is truly
beyond creation.
The God of Islam is like nothing in
this world.
Whereas Jesus was a man. Acts 2/22.
I said,
so that's what I meant by we have
the tools. We just have to learn our
tools and our our toolkit
to be number 1, able to strengthen our
own faith and our own amen. But number
2,
to spread the deen.
So what is the first obligation Sheikh Ahmed
Al Gardir? He mentions in Al Aqida at
Tawhidia, he says,
The first is we believe
Allah exists.
We say,
His existence is an obligation
because without his existence, nothing else would exist.
We know this from 2 angles.
Number 1, from the Quran
and from other religious texts that Allah has
revealed himself. But we know the final book
is the Quran.
Allah
says
That indeed I am Allah. There's no god
except me. So establish prayer for my remembrance.
The Quran invites us to learn about god
in 3 ways.
Number 1 is learning the Quran and learning
the sunnah of the prophet
So we learn about Allah through the Quran
and through the sunnah of Sayla Akwan.
The Quran tells us about God. The prophet
tells us about God.
The Quran says there's nothing in creation like
Allah.
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says
there's nothing like Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
We know that the prophet
when he would make dua. He will call
on Allah
Allah by his beautiful names, by his beautiful
attributes.
For
example, the famous dua of Sayid Muhammad
and the prophet he said, for example,
The only one who can forgive is you.
The only one who forgives sins is Allah.
Subhanahu wa ta'ala. So we learn about Allah
through the Quran and through the sunnah of
the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. And that's
why I say
when he was asked, what is the quickest
way to get to Allah? He said through
his words, through the Quran.
So
that's the first. The second
is to think about the creation around us.
And to look at the natural world and
the physical world.
Islam is not at war with science. Science
is at war with Islam. Western science is
at war with Islam, but Islam has never
been at war with science.
Over and over in the Quran,
Allah
who commands
us to not only think about Allah generally,
but to think about him specifically.
And very rarely
will someone ask you to think about them
in detail. Like people when they present themselves,
they don't really want you to know who
they are, right, in the beginning. So they
just, you know, what they do, their CV,
their jobs,
whoever.
But then subhanallah,
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala invites us not only
to think about him generally. Who Allah Al
Rahman Al Rahim Al Malik Al Qudus Al
Salam and Mumin.
Subhanahu wa ta'ala. But Allah also
asked us to think about him in details.
He doesn't hide anything from himself.
So now, Allah, do we think about
Allah does not only ask us to think
about him generally. He also ask us to
think about him specifically.
And that shows you that someone is being
honest with you. Investigate me.
Investigate.
Think again and think again and think again
and think again and look and look and
look and look.
That's why religious teachers should be transparent and
open when people ask ask questions, answer their
questions. If you don't know, you don't know.
It's not about your ego. Let the ego
go for the sake of Allah.
The best answer anyone can give someone is
I don't know. As the prophet said,
that knowledge is 3. One of them is
to say, I don't know. And
the prophet himself on numerous occasions, he said,
I don't know to teach the adept of
being humble with the transcendent complete knowledge of
Allah.
So the second is to think and ponder
on Allah's creation. And that's why the Quran
encourages us to think about it generally.
In the creation of the heavens and the
earth is general.
And in the alteration of the day and
the night is like the details.
The
the the the signs
for those people of clear intellect. So now
we learn 2 ways
that we learn about Allah. Number 1,
stood the Quran and sunnah.
Number 2,
is through thinking and pondering on creation.
And number 3 is to learn
theology.
To learn,
to study. You should study a text
in
normative
theology.
Alhamdulillahi rabbilaremi
from a teacher, from a sheikh. I see
people in the comments asking who I am,
what's my background. Listen, focus on Allah.
Focus on Allah. Focus on the lesson. Don't
focus on people. You know, to focus always
on people is a fitna. To focus on
Allah is Jannah. How many Muslims now they're
busy talking about people. SubhanAllah, talk about Allah.
Talk about Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. Don't waste
your time in this fit in online of
who's who, what's, what, this, this, most of
our lives.
But about Allah Azzawajal, Alhamdulillah,
the Quran
And the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi wa Salam, Sallallahu
Alaihi
wa Ari Saqisum. And also is this person
a scholar? Is this person a scholar? You
know, when I started my studies,
I never said, Is that person a scholar?
I said, Does that person know more than
me? Because I'm not ready for a scholar.
Right? A scholar is like you go in
and trying to ball out with Jaylen Brown,
but you're not even ready for the D
League.
Don't think about, is this a scholar or
is that a scholar? You're not ready for
scholarship.
Ask yourself, does that person know more than
me? If that person
knows more than me,
then
I will I will learn from them. Look
at
Say the Imam Malik in Medina, one time
he was walking with his students and they
found a man who was a shepherd.
And Imamatic, he went to me, he said,
Assalamu alaikum, Sheikh.
He gave him the greeting. This is my
Sheikh.
And Imamatic students were shocked. They said, how
can Imam Malik,
how has he given salaams to a simple
shepherd and calling him his teacher?
So they asked Imam Malik, how how are
you
how are you
giving salams to this person?
And Imam Malik, he said, that's my teacher.
He taught me the fiqh of dogs. How
to recognize the difference physically between a puppy
dog and adult dog, Fahadah Sheikin.
So avoid
this toxic
stuff online
and ask yourself
and ask myself,
does that person know more than me? Then
I should learn something from them.
Look SubhanAllah
at Sayidina Musa,
even though he's a prophet
and Hadr
is not a prophet.
Let's say in the Musa,
Moses, when he learned that someone knew something
he didn't know, he traveled to him. He
didn't say, are you a scholar? Are you
a prophet? Are you a Rasul?
Can you teach me a little bit of
what you know?
So avoid this. If you see people who
know more than you, learn from them. Take
the good lead.
So the first obligation we said
is to know that Allah exists.
How do we know that Allah exists? Number
1, through Quran and Sunnah. Number 2, through
natural world, the physical sciences.
And number 3, by learning from the
and the and teachers who are qualified to
teach us.
It's very important.
So he
says,
The first thing he said, fayajibu lillahi alwujud.
We say, wajib alwujud.
Allah's existence is fault.
It's an obligation.
It's an obligation based on text and also
the intellect. The text we send numerous text,
they tell us Allah exists.
But number 2,
we know the law of thermal thermodynamics
matter does not is is constantly in the
state of destruction.
Matter did not create itself nor can it
destroy itself. So if matter cannot create nor
destroy, that means something created matter.
And something
will I I memorized the book. Sorry. I
don't have the book with me. I memorized
this book.
Something
is causing it to exist and something is
causing it
to be destroyed because matter cannot do it.
So whatever, pay attention,
Created matter is not matter.
And that's how we respond to Christianity.
Jesus
is
matter.
Jesus lived in a physical space. Jesus lived
in a physical time.
He walked like a human being. He talked
like a human being. He ate. He slept.
So our response to Christianity
is that Jesus cannot be god because he
was subject to physical laws. He was subject
to material laws, and god
matter doesn't create itself nor destroy itself. So
god is beyond
matter.
God is not like creation.
And the only, you know,
stringent adherence to this type of that we
find is Al Islam.
There's nothing like Allah. So here we say
the existence of Allah
is found in number 1, in Quran and
Sunnah.
Number 2, I gave one example of many.
That we can use what I call
Right? Al Barahim.
Those evidences that we can use from time
to time. Like I said earlier, using other
religions.
If you're a scholar in those religions and
you're trained in their those religions to prove
a point is fine. If you're a Jahil
in other people's religion, if you're ignorant about
Christianity or Judaism,
don't
use their religion to argue with them. That's
disrespectful to
them. And you make us look bad.
What is the fruit of that? Because we
wanna talk about now what what should how
should knowing Allah exist impact us?
How does that lead to Ihsan?
If we looked at the Quran,
we find a few examples.
Number 1,
it should lead us to become humble and
repent and turn to.
If we know that Allah, the true soul,
one God exists,
We should translate that into repentance
and reverence
and turning to Allah and obeying Allah.
Look at saying When it hit him that
Allah exists.
In Nani heard the verse. In Nani and
Allah hula illa illa Anafahabudani
Wa Aqeemas salaat aliddiqun.
I am Allah. There's no god except me,
so establish
prayer from our remembrance.
He was transformed.
His heart became soft.
And he went from someone who wanted to
murder the messenger of Allah
to loving the messenger of Allah.
He went from someone who was
the dedicated enemy to the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi
Wasallam
to being his greatest supporter.
Why?
The fruit of knowing that Allah exists
should cause us to leave sin
and repent
and establish obedience. That's what one of our
teachers used to say.
If you speak Arabic, it's nice, it rhymes.
That the fruit of knowing Allah exists
is to leave sin.
That the fruit of knowing Allah exists
is to leave sin.
The second fruit of knowing that Allah exists,
is bravery on the haqq.
And not to fear
any repercussion when it comes to the rights
of Allah.
That's why we find this
those magicians
who are blinded by the power of pharaoh.
They were blinded by the power of pharaoh.
The only thing that could remove their ability
to see
was the light of Allah.
The only thing that could remove their ability
to see the grandeur of Firaun
is when they had Marifa of Allah.
Allah says
That when it hit them,
that the one causing
this staff to turn into a snake
is the creator of everything.
They fell into sujood.
And they said, what?
Immediately, they said, we believe
in the creator of all things.
The creator of Musa and.
You're welcome, brother. No problem. Appreciate you sharing,
man.
Glad you're here listening.
So they heard
the truth
and they fell and prostrated.
What about us now as youth?
If we're addicted to marijuana,
if we're
using, you know, weed,
if we are drinking alcohol, if we're looking
at *,
if we're doing something haram, are we not
better than those magicians?
Are we blinded by the magic of this
dunya to the point that we no longer
see
the signs of Allah and the names of
Allah in creation
has the grander and power of the temporary
world blinded our hearts and our minds
just like those people who are blinded by
the grander of.
If we go back to Tawhid
and we sent to ourselves on Tawhid,
everything falls into place.
And just as those magicians were emancipated
from the sorcery of Firaoun,
those young people who turn to Allah
will be emancipated from the sorcery of this
temporary world.
And that's why we saw so many young
people, that
Encampments.
And tomorrow, I will be there also
protesting Netanyahu
in Washington DC
because they saw the truth.
The lies of the dunya were exposed,
And the only truth is Allah. That Ilaha
Illallah.
The last example, alhamdulillah,
that one mentioned
is somebody that has ma'rif of Allah
is not only someone who
is repenting and turning back to Allah.
Also brave, they don't sell out. They're not
blinded by the intimidation of this dunya because
they know
that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is
Who are those who who have reverence to
Allah? Those who know Allah.
Those the more they know him, the more
they're dutiful to him. That's why the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said, by Allah, I
am the most knowledgeable of Allah and the
most fearful of Allah.
The knowledge
has fear and hope.
Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala.
The last
fruit of knowing that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
exists
is hope.
Because when I know Allah exists
and I know who is Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala,
I will
never lose hope.
That's why
Allah says,
Indeed,
those friends of Allah, they have no fear.
They have no grief.
And Allah
In the Suratul Kahf says, and who hopes
to meet Allah
must do good.
So the sign of hope is Ibadah.
The sign of hope is worship. The sign
of hope in Allah's promise
is that I never give up.
That's what one of my teachers used to
say, if you lose hope in yourself,
place your hope in the one who created
you. SubhanAllah.
Like, if you lose hope in yourself,
place your hope in Allah. If you don't
have enough security with yourself,
leave it to Allah.
Subhanahu
wa ta'ala. So the last the last quality
that we're gonna talk about, there's numerous qualities
from knowing Allah exists, subhanahu wa ta'ala
is turq wuthluwuhu lub, iaqamatata'a
war rajah.
He's leaving sin,
establishing worship,
being brave,
and never losing hope.
Never losing hope.
We'll stop now.
Next week, we'll talk about Al Qadamwal Baqah.
2 other things that we have to believe
about Allah is that Allah has no beginning
and no ending.
Today, we talked about Allah's existence.
That his existence is wajib because nothing would
exist without him. Allah
says, no Quran, Allah created everything
Subhanahu wa ta'ala. Good, evil, pain, suffering, happiness,
sadness.
You name it. He created as a blessing
and as a test
for us.
Subhanahu wa ta'ala.
The opposite of that is that he doesn't
exist and this is kufr. So we have
to believe Allah exists.
What is kufa is to believe
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala doesn't exist.
So ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and you
said bidna lahak.
We talked about how do we how do
we know Allah exists? We talked about 3
ways.
Add a 4th way is your experiences.
Right? Life teaches you.
So the more you worship, the more you
stand up for the truth, the more you
do good, the more you will see the
help of Allah in your life.
So learning Allah's existence
through Quran and sunnah, through focusing and thinking
on the natural physical world,
learning theology from a teacher, a Muslim teacher
who's qualified.
And number 4, live your life, man.
You will learn about Allah through living.
Allah says, Go and travel in the earth.
Look at those people that came before us
who rejected us, who were mighty in power.
Who are they now?
They're gone.
So also traveling to the earth, living your
life,
being patient.
See this as a process and not an
event. Don't too put too much pressure on
yourself. Grow in your faith slowly.
Don't try to grow overnight
and make the focus of your learning faith,
worship
and focusing on Allah. Everything else will take
care of itself.
So someone's asking how often do you come
online? Alhamdulillah. I come online Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursdays
at 11
New York City time. Please share with others.
I'm so shadow banned.
They can shadow ban us, but they can't
stop the noor from being in our lives.
And we ask Allah to bless all of
you. So every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday night.
Tuesdays is for faith and.
Wednesdays is for contemporary issues. So tomorrow night,
we'll finish talking about
Muslim women marrying non Muslim men. We've been
going through that in 2 sessions.
And the third the third thing that we
talked about, Alhamdulillah,
is the,
Thursday's
spirituality
and purification of the heart, working on our
soul.
We ask
Allah to bless us.
We ask Allah to help the people of
Palestine,
the people of Sudan, and the people of
Congo.
We also pray for our sister, sister Massey,
who was publicly executed
by the police in Chicago
and her family.
We pray for our brothers and sisters in
Bangladesh,
the student movements.
I can speak a little
We ask Allah
by all of his names and attributes
that he give the
students and young people and people of righteousness
in Bangladesh victory
over
all of
these challenges that they're facing.
Ameen Yaww.
So if you have any questions, you can
type them in. Alhamdulillah.

guys tomorrow. I post also these reporting on
YouTube
