			Bismillah Ar Rahman AR Rahim, I was browsing through my phone and I stumbled across an article of an
individual who was physically challenged, yet achieved many feet. And I was truly intrigued by the
article, not only by the expertise of the individual, but the choice of words of the author. He did
not refer to the individual as physically disabled or physically challenged, but rather he referred
to him as specially abled, or differently abled. And I said, Wow, that's amazing. And that spurred
me into a particular pattern of thoughts. And hence, I shared this clip with you a few years back, I
was in the United Kingdom, and I conducted a program for people who have speech impairment and hard
		
00:00:46 --> 00:01:30
			urine. And that's the time I discovered that the euphemistic approach to addressing someone who is
unable to speak or unable to hear his speech impairment and hard hearing, and dare you say dumb or
mute or deaf, that is very insensitive. And the same applies to someone who is blind, we would use a
respectful approach, visually impaired, mentally impaired, so on and so forth. In fact, in today's
world, many people would not even use the word fat. That's, that's really abrupt. That's uncultured.
That is unacceptable. So you refer to it as an obese syndrome, and many would even take it a step
beyond and say it's no longer constipation. It's like irregular bowel movements, lovely, refined
		
00:01:30 --> 00:02:22
			language, improve language sensitive language, the adoption of euphemism. But then the question that
started nagging at me is what happens to this euphemism respect and dignity when it comes to the
galaxy of prophets. Suddenly, it's an open house and now blasphemy is part of freedom of speech, and
you can mock and scoff and laugh at any profit and your there's no limitations and no restrictions.
You can hurt the most nasty insensitive, derogatory inflammatory vituperative comments, you can have
a talk show program in which the discussion is where profits feminists or misogynist Hello Can we
understand? You know, what has happened to society, a society that impresses upon you respect for
		
00:02:22 --> 00:03:13
			people who have impairments, yet advocates are condones blasphemy against the galaxy of prophets, as
surely lost its moral compass. Let me share with you my reflection from Quran and that's my passion,
and that's my cue and my motivation. So I take you to do 16 chapter 20 verse 121, in which Allah
subhanho wa Taala speaks about the Prophet alayhi salatu was Salam will answer them or a bell who
falls over the word the answer and the law loosely commonly, averagely translates as disobedience
and deviation. But all scholars will tell you in the context of this prophet of Allah, the same does
not apply. And the choice of words in translating this verse will be very respectful. Adam Allah is
		
00:03:13 --> 00:04:11
			Salatu was Salam labs, and he earned he lapsed and he heard it is noteworthy. It is noteworthy to
see the academic writing of GAVI, Abu Bakar, Abdullah, Allah be under this verse, he writes under
this year, loja, Jews only Idina Leone, para beta Lika, and Adam in the corner who Vitaly tala
otonabee his son, Allahu Allahu wa sallam, when referencing the narrative of Adam alayhis salam, we
cannot extend the implications and take the liberty of referring to the Prophet Adam, Allah in
Salatu. Salam with regards to eating from the forbidden tree as disobedience or transgression or
violation. Yes, when we recite in the verse of the Quran, are we quoting the text of Muhammad
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:46
			sallallahu alayhi wasallam. today that extent we will adopt the same words and we will not distort
it for a better day. I mean given enough see he Falaise Abuja is in Atlanta in a demean with regards
to saying this obedience or transgression of violation, then that is unacceptable for us to use that
type of language for our reason ancestors for our forefathers forgave a fee or been after them.
		
00:04:47 --> 00:05:00
			And nebby Allah de de la la what copy lotto better who then how dare we use blasphemous language
against the first of
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:26
			Last creation, the Beloved of our last creation, whom Allah had pardon who is our first ancestor and
whom Allah subhanho wa Taala has lavishly praised in the Quran. And I leave you with these comments.
It is often disrespect of divine personalities in the early stages of life that results in apostasy
in the latter stages of life.
