Subhanallah. I,

00:00:01 --> 00:00:04

was lucky to read Sahih al Bukhari with,

00:00:04 --> 00:00:06

doctor Salas Sultan, who now

00:00:06 --> 00:00:08

has continued to be in prison uncharged,

00:00:09 --> 00:00:10

in Egypt,

00:00:10 --> 00:00:12

and we have not forgotten about him. May

00:00:12 --> 00:00:14

Allah free him. But one of the things

00:00:14 --> 00:00:16

that he taught me is in the chapter

00:00:17 --> 00:00:17

where the Prophet

00:00:19 --> 00:00:19

would

00:00:20 --> 00:00:22

read the Quran to say that, Gabriel,

00:00:22 --> 00:00:24

Angel Gabriel in the month of Ramadan,

00:00:25 --> 00:00:27

and that according to Ibn Abbas, the Prophet

00:00:27 --> 00:00:28

would become more generous.

00:00:30 --> 00:00:33

And what Doctor. Solas Sultan taught me was

00:00:33 --> 00:00:35

that the knowledge should lead to action,

00:00:36 --> 00:00:38

that true religious knowledge

00:00:39 --> 00:00:40

should lead someone

00:00:40 --> 00:00:42

to actions that benefit society. So in this

00:00:42 --> 00:00:44

case, generosity, of course,

00:00:45 --> 00:00:46

extended by the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam. So

00:00:46 --> 00:00:48

this is just glad tidings to all of

00:00:48 --> 00:00:51

those brothers and sisters that are continuing to

00:00:51 --> 00:00:51

push,

00:00:52 --> 00:00:52

to amplify,

00:00:53 --> 00:00:56

and in a prophetic voice, scream as Muslims

00:00:57 --> 00:01:00

to gain the attention of what's happening in

00:01:00 --> 00:01:03

Gaza and what's happening to the Palestinians,

00:01:03 --> 00:01:05

as well as all of our true allies

00:01:05 --> 00:01:05

and friends.

00:01:06 --> 00:01:08

And also a reminder that religious knowledge, which

00:01:08 --> 00:01:11

is not coupled with the voice of justice

00:01:11 --> 00:01:12

and pushing for truth

00:01:12 --> 00:01:16

and pushing to change a fractured world and

00:01:16 --> 00:01:17

to heal it,

00:01:17 --> 00:01:18

will be against a person.

00:01:19 --> 00:01:20

As the prophet

00:01:21 --> 00:01:23

said that knowledge is of 2

00:01:23 --> 00:01:25

types, the knowledge of the lisan, the knowledge

00:01:25 --> 00:01:27

of what is just spoken,

00:01:27 --> 00:01:29

and then the knowledge which leads to action.

00:01:29 --> 00:01:32

And then he said, salallahu alayhi wasalamah,

00:01:32 --> 00:01:34

that the knowledge which is just kept on

00:01:34 --> 00:01:36

the tongue is Hujatullah,

00:01:36 --> 00:01:38

is the proof of Allah against a person.

00:01:39 --> 00:01:41

So I want to encourage everyone to continue,

00:01:41 --> 00:01:43

especially those of us who are Muslims in

00:01:43 --> 00:01:46

this prophetic voice of calling towards justice

00:01:46 --> 00:01:49

and to remind those who know who are

00:01:49 --> 00:01:50

for some reason

00:01:50 --> 00:01:51

silent

00:01:51 --> 00:01:54

that their knowledge, if it doesn't translate into

00:01:54 --> 00:01:55

action,

00:01:55 --> 00:01:58

may indeed be a proof against them.
