The Deen Show – They are burning the Quran (What you can do about it)

			Have a good
		

			day
		

			have a good day
		

			Bismillah Alhamdulillah as I'm Ali Khan greetings of Peace, welcome to the deen show and they're
added again. And what's the ironic thing is that you don't have the police stopping them. So they're
burning the Koran, and it's something that saddens our heart. So let's go ahead and discuss this and
what we can do, what we can do about it and why it's so important to establish what we're trying to
establish. We're going to be talking about that. But let's get to the Koran Bernie.
		

			You read a new policy on law he being a FWA he Well, yeah, about long.
		

			Your team.
		

			Teddy, how do you feel?
		

			And see what is the solution to this what my next guest, Dr. Sabina Ahmed Salam alikoum walakum wa
Salam wa Rahmatullah. How are you doing? hamdulillah brother Eddie, how are you? Good to be here.
I'm good. I've hunted last so they're added again. This is the weird is going on all the way since
you got a chance to see what's going on across Swedish cities. Yeah, somewhat.
		

			flashpoints have stemmed from a series of organized rallies since Thursday, led by the leader of a
Danish far right political party, currently on tour in Sweden, inflammatory events that include the
actual burning or threat of burning of the Koran. Leading the rallies is Rasmus Paladin. So I
believe this is Sweden but you also have something going on you have another lunatic out there in
Norway doing the same thing we got our brothers out there trying to establish the machine in Norway
to doing a fabulous job and humbly law may Allah give them success. And God Almighty Allah give them
success. And the story goes that I guess this guy is coming along and he's putting up banners and
		

			he's pretty much instigating and trying to provoke and coming out there and lighting the Koran on
fire and then the police instead of just snapping the guy, I don't think you can even go outside you
know, just in a public square, private property you just gonna go burn garbage, you're gonna get a
ticket. That's not allowed, right? But you can go ahead and just burn the most dear sacred book that
set for all mankind, the Koran and just have the police actually protect you while you do it and
help you along the way. Yeah, that's so unfortunate. Bismillah Alhamdulillah wa Salatu was Salam ala
Rasulillah Allah Allah He was my big No My bad. When I see protests like that, when I see the
		

			burning of the Quran, when we see the hate coming from certain people, it reminds me of an area of
the Quran where Allah subhanaw taala says that he's the one in control, you know, he's going to
perfect his deen and he's going to, you know, he's going to be the one who is going to take the deen
to the next level. So this is so important for us. Yes, Allah is in control at the end of the day,
they cannot distinguish the light of Allah. That's number one right? Number two is as we have seen
in the past, this is going to generate more kind of interest by the non Muslims in the Quran, in
Islam, and generally, you know, what is the deen of Islam all about? So Pete more people may become
		

			inshallah curious. And more people may learn about Islam from this unfortunate incident. And last,
but not the least more Muslims inshallah we can unite
		

			and share the message. So more passion can be created in our youth in the Muslims. And many, many
massages. So unfortunate incident may create something positive, but we hope and pray that may Allah
give hedaya to that person and to those individuals. So they can actually see that Islam is not a
threat. The Masjid is not a threat. Our data centers are not a threat. Actually, they are a
blessings to that country and to all of humanity. And that's where the deen center comes into play.
And hamdulillah what is the deen center? So people buy now they know they've been seen much of the
ads and whatnot. And it's a direct
		

			result of things like this that are out there, that now people are curious. They want to know who
are the Muslims, What is Islam and then you have people like this who are manufacturing this hate?
Because most people you know that. I mean, I think you told me the story that one time you were
given a presentation and a non Muslim. He actually gave you a check. He gave you his check is that
		

			correct to support you getting out there and giving the real message of what Islam is because he was
getting programmed with the wrong information just like this guy who's burning the Koran he's
obviously got the wrong information. So the deen center will be out there to disseminate the proper
information, the right message so insha Allah can bring more love instead of this manufacture hate
and fear in education is the key and I hope and pray when the deen center inshallah when we are
going to start many open houses inviting our neighbors inviting people like that who may not
understand Islam once they come and see the deen center once they come and see the wonderful massage
		

			ease and the peace and the way that you know Islam propagates the faith. Inshallah I hope and pray
that they will see Islam in a positive light and with Allah's guidance, inshallah they can also
embrace the fate of Islam. So it's important not only we need one Deen center, we need Dean center
in every state, every city in the USA, Europe around the world. And that's why these brothers doing
a great job brothers in Norway hummed Allah, may Allah bless them and their project, they're trying
to do some good over there and they're coming against, you know, lunatics like this. But you see the
and now we're trying to also do the same thing here. Let's talk about the impact of the Dawa on this
		

			generation and the next generation.
		

			Yes, yes.
		

			You know, two days ago, I was listening to an imam right after the prayer, he sat down and he was he
was mentioning and he was creating passion to help out the Muslims, in Kashmir, in China, in
Philistine in India, right, the atrocities going on there. May Allah protect all the Muslims, and
may Allah protect all the people who are oppressed, because we are all humanity, right? And we are
all for all humanity. Oh, then he mentioned that, you know, we take our deen for granted in the USA,
we can go freely to a masjid pray up there freely, come back home freely. But people in India
different places, they don't have that guarantee, they are prevented from going to the massages,
		

			some of the massages are being you know, pulled down by this extreme ideological people. So we take
it for granted. So he was saying that, you know, we should thank Allah for what Allah has given to
us. But then I was thinking by the ad, that the hate which is out there in those countries, and the
violence and the and all the discrimination that Muslims are going up there. Exactly the same thing
may happen over here. May Allah protect us? Exactly the same thing may happen over here, if we don't
stop the poison being exported from those countries to this country. So if we so Dawa is not just a
just a obligation, it's a necessity for us, not only a necessity to preserve our massages and our
		

			person, our physical safety, it's a necessity for the ideological safety of our of our children, our
youth, our families.
		

			According to the Pew Research survey, this came out in 2018 23% of our of our Muslims born and
raised in Islam, they no longer identify themselves as Muslims. May Allah protect all of us, right?
This is the reality. If we don't take care of Islamophobia, if we don't educate the people, it may
come in harm our children, our progeny of our families, may Allah protect all of us. So just sitting
on the sidelines, and wishing and praying is not enough. We need to do something, the best solution
against hatred, Islamophobia, and violence like that, is to peacefully educate the people. And this
is where Dean center comes into play. Because like you said, this can spill over. And now for the
		

			next generation, your children and your grandchildren. Maybe we don't feel the effect, but that
spills over and now it's like a snowball effect that grows and grows and grows. And now you didn't
have the PR or the public relations, you didn't have the education going you didn't have any of
these things set in place to educate the people. And you're gonna have more people like this who are
popping up burning the Koran next time now not just burning the Koran, they're gonna be burning even
more because we've had the masjid many have tempted to burn mustards down. Because of the lack of
education. These people don't have the proper education about Islam and Muslims, they need to be
		

			invited into the Masjid. They need to experience what is some some of the biryani and some of the
piece of Islam right. I mean, obviously biryani samosa,
		

			you have a good story you talk about the Imam called you you are going there to to give a
presentation and he said what are we going to do? He was all scared. He had all these people outside
in front with go back home. This that and the other these really
		

			provoked provoking signs. And you said, invite a man get some pizza, you know, get some food, invite
Him in. And the whole the whole climate change, right? Yeah. And they came in the masjid. So okay,
so this is what happened. I was going from one budget to the next budget for some meetings, right.
So meetings and as I was going past so
		

			One other Masjid that I saw all of these, you know, our fellow Americans, they had these signs
against the masjid and they were having this rally surrounding the masjid. And then I called the
Imam you know what's going on there? Why are these people you know, all around the masjid? And he
said that there is a rumor going on in the neighborhood, that there are weapons of mass destructions
in the basement of the masjid, weapons of mass, and the mosque in the masjid. And people are afraid.
I mean, the neighbors were afraid, you know, this is the mosque and you know, we'll be compromised
our children, our families. So these neighbors non Muslim neighbors were concerned that if these
		

			weapons are there, it is going to jeopardize our neighborhood. So then they were having this protest
of concern, right. So then I advise to the Imam Okay, why don't you you know, go out, engage with
them. Go and send somebody for some pizza for some donors and some was asking about not invite them
in the masjid. Let them see the basement let them see the masjid let them see how Muslims pray, let
them meet the Muslims people.
		

			Break some bread and break some bread. Right? So Alhamdulillah Allah guided this people to come in
the masjid. And they came and saw in the in the basement also. And they were Muslim kids, they were
reciting the Quran, they were memorizing the Quran. That looking at that it changed the heart and
the minds of these people. All the flags that they had waving in outside the masjid of concerned,
they left the flags in the masjid. They shook hands with the Imam. They had smiles and that hate and
the misinformation, it went away. Now they're seeing that masjid and the Imam and the Muslims in a
positive light, education, education, education being Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, that's what it's
		

			going to be about insha Allah next next point, if we can go over the importance of having the Muslim
media for our identity. How important is this so important by the ad, in a prophet muhammad
sallallahu Sallam during his time, he used all the available in a quote unquote, media to share the
message, as we just you know, went over in our day and age. You know, I say media is the king,
right? Media is the king. That means for us to amplify our message for need to make sure that we
reach out to the 1000s and the millions and the billions of people, we just cannot rely on the Fox
and CNN and you know, all the radio channels. Yes, they may have their own agenda, they may have
		

			their own biases, but we have to create our own media. So we don't, we are not at the mercy of you
know, other media outlets. So I hope and pray that our deen center is going to have a really state
of the art media where we invite the guest Muslim guests, Muslim scholars, non Muslim guests, right.
And through that we become a voice of Islam, right? The voice of Islam, the voice of the Muslims,
the voice of peace, Inshallah, because the Islamophobia industry has become with all the networks
and media, they have this billion dollar industry. So now they have all this funding, and they're
getting the wrong information out that's going to affect you and your family. So that's the
		

			importance the deen center in sha Allah will have the deen show and it will have the media in it,
that's going to be perpetuating the truth, the right information out there. So people can go ahead
and really get to know what Islam is about what Muslims are about what we're trying to accomplish
here. And its opposite to the message that they're getting out there from much from the mainstream
media and a lot of these pundits out there that are, you know, using this as a catalyst, because of
people's ignorance, people are ignorant, so you can take advantage. So we gotta remove that
ignorance. The dissenter, the last point we can go over is the importance of organized efforts to
		

			respond to being in a position where we can respond to the Islamophobia that's out there, and the
misinformation and an organized effort
		

			in a mashallah, the good thing is that, compared to 20 years ago, there are more massages and more
youth and more individuals who are involved in activism, social activism, social justice, and
especially Dawa. However, there is still a big need to join our resources, join about the blessings
and the skill set Allah has given to us to have that, you know, profound impact in the society. So I
would say that outreach, education and Dawa is a glue to bring Muslims together and the massages
together right and the Muslim activists together so that the center inshallah is going to bring the
massages together and be a platform to provide services to the massage ease where people can get
		

			educated about
		

			Got Islam as our own Muslims we need to train our own Muslims, how to break the ice how to respond
to questions, you know how to explain Islam especially we need to provide that confidence in the
youth. So, that is a that there is a way that we can bring the Muslim youth together to give them
the confidence it is going to bring the Muslim diocese together Inshallah, right? It is going to
structure give structure to the Dawa programs, not only in Florida not only in USA, but we can set
up a model in the USA that can be copied and pasted in Europe and Australia and all and all over the
world. So inshallah that is going to be a force to unite our Muslims together inshallah with the
		

			deen center, and from that Allah so that's kind of just a brief overview along with the masjid
there, the athletic facility, and the media, recording studio. These are some of the things that we
like to be working on and inshallah with God Almighty Allah's help, and with your support, inshallah
we can make this a reality. And we'll be working together as we've been working together for so many
years. I mean,
		

			I'm in let me mention a profound story, brother Eddie, and especially to our audience also here. I
went to Louisville three years ago. Hamdulillah we had a masjid open house there invited the many
non Muslims they came, they enjoy it. They listen to Islam. One Muslim brother, he mentioned this
story there still touches my heart and he said, but there's a bill. I want you to listen to this
story, this encounter between a Muslim family and a non Muslim individuals. So one Saturday, this
Muslim family, they got a knock at the door. It's Saturday morning, 10am in the morning. And when
they opened the door, they were two well dressed people in front of them. So who do you think this
		

			may be Saturday morning?
		

			The Jehovah's Witness Jehovah's Witnesses. Yeah, we're friends, Jehovah's Witnesses, right? So this
Muslim brother he got really excited. Now is my opportunity to share Islam with them. So they had
engagement nice and friendly, passionate engagement, right half an hour, one hour pass by. They were
asking questions. They were sharing their faith, the Muslim brother was sharing his faith and q&a
session about what Islam and what is Jehovah's Witness what Christianity at the end of one hour, the
Jehovah's Witness individuals, they asked one question to this Muslim brother, who is knowledgeable
who had passion, he had education he was able to explain, but there was one question they asked him
		

			and he became speechless.
		

			Totally speechless. And you may be thinking by the ad, what question that can be that this Muslim
brother any Muslim not able to answer? Is it about jihad, the Sharia or women? Or you know, Jizya
about apostasy? Okay, take a guess what question it could be.
		

			If I were him, I would be speechless.
		

			If that brother was you, you may be also speechless. Now, Brother, it is thinking really, but
there's a bill come on, man. Don't leave her the suspense. What is that question? That question is,
was this Jehovah's Witnesses looking at all the passion of this Muslim brother? They asked him this
question.
		

			They asked if you are so passionate about Islam, and you have spent one hour with us explaining
Islam from your home with all you know, evidence says with passion and with educating us.
		

			How come you are home and we are the ones out there sharing our message.
		

			Why are you home sitting at your home? We are the ones out there doing the work?
		

			What can he say?
		

			So message to you and me and to all the Muslims, right? We have to remind ourselves if we care about
Islam, our children, right about education, about you know sharing our faith with people. We just
cannot only stay in the massages are in our homes. Yes, we have to stay in Masjid to do zikr in the
prayer, but Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi salam he was a person of action used to use the
technology of the time to propagate the message. So we need to really important we need to not just
be concerned about Islamophobia and to pray and to wish and hope we need to put our emotions and
channel our emotions into action. And one of the best investments that we can do for ourselves for
		

			our aka for our children is to support the incentive because inshallah Dean center is the one along
with many massages, to take the to take Dawa to the next level and to share the message and to teach
people and to invite them to Islam and connect the creation with the Creator. La ilaha illAllah
