O Allah Mala and maybe about the honorable Prime Minister, esteemed guests, students of other
university and everybody that has come to attend a salam Wa alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh. It
is something to really think about that in the illiterate Bedouin Society of seventh century Arabia,
in a land where there was not a single library, much less University in a place and a city of
Makkah, where less than 1% of the people could read and write. Allah chose to begin the revelation
of the final book with the word of Quran, which means to read, what an amazing choice in a land
		
00:01:48 --> 00:02:32
			where nobody could read. And reading and writing was unknown, there was no madrasa. There was no
school, there was no professor, Allah chose to begin the revelation with a Quran. Why? Because Allah
subhana wa Tada is indicating that change must begin via knowledge. Change must begin via education.
That's where everything begins. You will only change when you have that education, when you know
what to do and how to do it. And that is why our Prophet Sall Allahu Allah he was setting them
became the greatest leader, the greatest mover and shaker via the knowledge that ALLAH SubhanA wa
Tada bestowed upon him. Knowledge is what transformed our Ummah from being a backward paganistic
		
00:02:32 --> 00:03:14
			society in Arabia, to ruling the world in less than 100 years from China to under those Islamic
civilization became the global leadership. And this is in complete congruence with what the Quran
teaches us, or abunda Artina for dunya Hasina Warfield accurately has an all too often we believe
that religiosity is separate from the deen and duniya that when you become religious, you have to
leave this world. On the contrary, Allah says the best Muslims, they are the best in this world and
they're going to be the next the best in the Hereafter. And that's what our institutions have done.
Our institutions trained people in the sciences of the deen and the sciences of the dunya there is
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:54
			no dichotomy between religious knowledge and between secular human knowledge the both are from ALLAH
SubhanA wa Tada, the one is divinely revealed, and the other is divinely gifted. So that we can, we
can use our faculties to learn and to educate. And therefore, it is something that really brings a
great pleasure to me to see a university like Okada, that is trying to synthesize the way that it
used to be synthesized religious sciences and secular sciences. We form over here in sha Allah
Allah, the next movers and shakers, the next leaders because in the end of the day, knowledge is not
meant just to transform you. It is meant to transform others knowledge is not meant to just
		
00:03:54 --> 00:04:38
			enlighten you to change you. It is meant to impact other people in the Quran we are told the
methodology of the Prophets the goal of the prophets is in od do IL is La hemas thought I want to
bring about reformation and positiveness wherever I go. I want to bring Islam we all understand is
less than or the word in odd to Elon is La Hemis thought, I want to make a change to the best of my
abilities. It is not an Islamic to want the best of the deen and duniya. In fact, one of the Quranic
Diaz tells us that the righteous desire to be changers, makers, that righteous desire, ethical
leadership, one of the Quranic Diaz, what you're dealing with Tokina Imam, oh Allah make us leaders
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:59
			of the righteous, we ask Allah we don't crave leadership for the sake of ego. We don't crave
leadership for the sake of prestige for the sake of honor. We crave an impactful relationship with
society such that the righteous take us as role models. We want to make a change and the best way to
make that change is by being ethical leader.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:40
			as being visionaries, every single prophet came with that change that change begins with knowledge
and with the self and then you take that knowledge and then you change other people and leadership
does not necessarily mean only political, you can be a leader in business, you can be a leader in
management, you can be a leader even in your household leadership can be done at every single strata
of society. It is done by following the Sunnah of the Prophet system, and by being the best that you
can be our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Allah loves that when one of you is assigned a
task, you do it to the best of your ability, you do it with perfection. This is an authentic hadith,
		
00:05:40 --> 00:06:21
			Allah loves when you have a responsibility, you do it to the best of your capability to do it is
religious to be ethical leaders. It is a part of our religious framework and our mandate to create
change, positive change wherever we go, and to be role models. The Prophet Isa pray to Allah, Oh
Allah, it yagni Mubarak and a nama could make me bless it wherever I may be the great the great
student of the process. And even Abbas he commented this dua means that isa prayed, oh, Allah,
wherever I go, I make a positive transformation. Oh Allah, any gathering I'm in make it a positive
gathering make it something good for me. This is all in the norms of ethical leadership, and
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:56
			Subhanallah brothers and sisters and Hamdulillah. I am, of course Pakistani by Origin born and
raised outside of Buxton. And I want to say something from my heart about this people of Pakistan,
my people, I have traveled the world I live in America. One thing about our people, the Pakistani
people, one thing about them, wherever they go, they become active in Islam. They're the ones that
build the misogyny they're the ones that build the Islamic schools Alhamdulillah our comb our
people, they have a love of Allah and the love of the Prophet Sall Allahu Allah, your setup and the
love of this Deen I have traveled to over 50 countries. And I say this not just because my origins
		
00:06:56 --> 00:07:38
			are from this country. I do not know of any other nation state overall, in which the love of this
deen is so deeply set in the psyche of the people. And that is a very, very positive reality. And
that is why anything that happens here has the potential to transform the global scene, I firmly
believe that we can have a revival from this region and under the leadership of our honorable Prime
Minister with this vision of other university where we teach leadership and management skills in
light of the Sierra, we take the best of what the West has to offer, and we take the best of our
deen and we combine it together to form a new breed a new leadership in which inshallah Tada we will
		
00:07:38 --> 00:08:15
			demonstrate what it means to be a righteous Muslim, grounded in the humanities grounded in
management grounded in the sciences. And that is the ultimate goal and I've been at it now for dunya
has an awful lot it has an and we will demonstrate that we can do this, we shall do this my vision
insha Allah is that this isn't just the first such University. It will be the first of many more
universities and it will be the springboard from which many other such visions are formed and
whatever humble contributions I can make under the leadership of our chairman and all of the
faculty. I am happy to do so Giselle Kamala, who was set on why they come Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh
