We are all painfully aware of what is happening right now as we speak amongst a Muslim minority
		

			called Little hinga in the land of Burma or Myanmar. And before we even begin to help our brothers
and sisters, the first thing we need to do is to understand who they are and what is going on. And
that is briefly the topic of today's hoax but because you always begin everything with knowledge,
you always begin everything with knowledge. So we need to understand who are these people and what
is going on and then inshallah who tada what we can do to help them. No, my dear brothers and
sisters that the land that is called Burma is the land that is that was called Burma is now called
me and Mar and Myanmar is the name that its own inhabitants give to the land Burma is the name the
		

			British gave to it. So we will use the term Myanmar out of respect to the people that are living
there. And Myanmar is like the majority of countries of that province, born out of the legacy of
British colonialism, like India, like Pakistan like Bangladesh, Burma as well is born out of British
colonialism and the modern nation state of Myanmar, which was called Burma before as we said, the
modern nation state of Myanmar comes from the ashes that were left by the fires of British
colonialists. Hence, not surprisingly, to the Indians and Pakistanis. Here, the Independence Day of
Burma is also 1948 right when the British left Burma or Myanmar was created. The majority of people
		

			of Burma are Buddhists, but they follow a branch of Buddhism called Theravada Buddhism, Buddhism is
divided into three branches, and the people of Burma primarily follow a branch of Buddhism called
Theravada. And within the Theravada branch, there is a particular strand that is followed by the
people of Burma and the people of Burma follow it is called the Bomar ba Mar, the Bomar strand of
Theravada Buddhism, Buddhism, and the Bomar peoples are the majority of Myanmar. So the majority of
Myanmar are Buddhists. And they are ethnically called the bamar people. It is important to note that
since 1946, up until recently, Myanmar was ruled by a military dictatorship. It was a very strict
		

			military unit that did not allow any freedom of speech. It did not allow protests. And it was in
that climate, that opposition against the government began by local people. And this opposition was
led primarily by a lady who is now the person in charge of Myanmar or Burma. And this lady
eventually won the Nobel Peace Prize we should all be aware of her name. It is Aung San su kyi Aung
San su kyi. And she is by the way, the daughter of the person who is called the father of modern
Burma. Her father was the one who led the opposition against the British her father climate for
independence like in Pakistan. You know, we have our fingers like we have India we have our fingers
		

			here. Mahatma Gandhi, Gina Soto, in in Myanmar and Burma. There was the father of this lady. So her
father and his name actually is Aung San, the first to Aung San, her name is Aung San su kyi. So the
first two words are the Father. And the last two you added is the daughter. The father was the
primary father
		

			figure to fight against the British to declare independence. He was assassinated. And this was a
young girl at the time. She was a young girl at the time. So she is raised in the legacy of anti
colonialism the legacy of freedom, and she then becomes the voice of opposition against the military
dictatorship back in the 60s 70s 80s. She becomes the voice of opposition. Eventually she is
arrested, she is tortured. She is put under house arrest. She is sent into exile. They attempt to
silence her. Many of you are aware of what's happening. What happened in the 80s and 90s. She was
exiled to England. She began a resistance movement and slowly but surely the people began supporting
		

			her until finally in the 90s the late 90s. The military
		

			Government essentially had to withdraw and collapse. And in the early 2000s, her party ran for
election in a first free and fair election, and she won with a landslide victory. Okay, think of
Nelson Mandela in South Africa. She was the only candidate of the most popular candidate, and her
party wins with a landslide victory. Unfortunately, after she won and her party won from being
persecuted, they then became persecutors themselves from being people who know what it feels like to
be persecuted. They are now in charge and they are now leading one of the worst campaigns that this
country has seen. And this government as we said, it follows a strand of Buddhism called Bomar
		

			Theravada Buddhism. The Bomar Buddhist strand is actually a very, very racist strand of Buddhism.
Think of the worst of the Tea Party, the worst of the far right, that mix mixes elements of
Christianity, elements of white supremacy, elements of far right nationalism, elements of pseudo
patriotism, and they use it to basically talk out against minorities against Muslims, everybody,
we're familiar with that strand here in America. Imagine that strand isn't just a minority. Well, we
can't do it. Just imagine in America, they have won the White House, but still I say they are a
minority by and large, they're still a minority. That strand is a majority in this land of Myanmar.
		

			Okay, the people support that violent racist interpretation of Buddhism and of their Myanmar, or
Burmese values. And just to give you an example, just to give an example, the government has
officially declared eight ethnicities to be real Burmese real, being more people, and all other
ethnicities are considered to be foreigners. Now, there are hundreds of many ethnicities in this
land, just like any land, but the government has declared only eight of them to be officially
recognized. And obviously, the largest as we said, are the Bomar ethnicity, and they are the ones in
charge. So who then are the little hinga that are hinga obviously are not one of those eight, they
		

			are the smallest, one of the smallest of the ethnicities, but they are predominantly Muslim. So
though hinga are predominantly Muslim, who are little hinga. And again, this this whole hood was a
little bit academic, because we need to understand who they are what's going on. We cannot help them
unless we understand and sympathize and know their plight, who are little hinga though hinga are
descendants of a civilization that actually used to have an empire a kingdom over 500 years ago. And
this is a civilization that is called the era con civilization these days is called the hint or a k
h i n e rockin out icon is the classic liberal King is the modern name. Now the other con or not the
		

			Obama there are different ethnicities, different languages. The other con peoples had their own
kingdom, and it was contemporaneous to the Mughal dynasty. So when the models were around, you also
had the other con kings. The other con that are consultants and other con kings, some of the other
con people converted to Islam. Some of them did not. Okay, so the ethnicity called the other con,
some of them converted to Islam because they were neighbouring the Mughals of India. And some of
them did not actually the majority did not convert those who converted, they are called odo hinga.
Okay, so to be very simplistic, and I'm not teaching a professorial class, so don't quote me here,
		

			it is a very simplistic understanding do not quote me, but for the purposes of our modern knowledge,
we can say, though, hinga are the Muslim converts of the outer Khan ethnicity is that clear? Don't
quote me on this, but for the purposes of our understanding day to day affairs, it is sufficient to
say, though, hinga are a small percentage of the larger ethnicity called the other con, is that
clear? The other con, majority of them remain Buddhists or Hindu small percentage converted to
Islam, and those who converted are then called ro hinga. Okay, now,
		

			ironically, we shouldn't be surprised. The American ethnicity is one of the eight that have been
declared acceptable in Burma in Myanmar.
		

			Are you guys understanding the the double standards here or do I need to spell it out? The other con
endora hinga are the same blood, the same language, the same culture? The same civilization? What's
the one difference? Religion, though hinga are Muslim, and the Arakan are Buddhists. Of those eight
that the Myanmar government said these are originally from this land is the American people. Can you
believe that? And the Rohingya minority speak the same language. They are our counties, their
civilization is at a con they go, but because they converted, so the government has said, You are
not a part of our land. How can they say
		

			This world they claim this is their claim. They claim that these people are not pure American. They
are the children of Muslims who came from India from Bangladesh. They are the into married
interracial couples, they got married. And these are now ethnically not pure. So there's an element
of racism, just like the Nazis of Germany, just like the Aryan supremacy, just like the white
supremacist, there's this point of pure blood, who is pure. So they say the government and the
majority of people, they say that Dodo hinga, are not pure araca. And this is firstly, historically
inaccurate. And secondly, there is no such thing as pure. We have said this many, many times,
		

			there's no such thing as pure error, pure white, pure black. These are all things that we have
invented our DNA, our blood does not tell us apart in that sense. But even from a historical
perspective, this is simply not true. And this is because the other con peoples It is well known
that they actually converted during the time of the Mughals. And remember, there were no nation
states, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Burma, these borders were created when 1948 and beyond. So to
claim that before these borders were created, you're worried about where they came from, and where
they want to. This is a claim that you're taking something from eternity and projecting it back 500
		

			years, the outer con Kingdom actually encompass parts of modern India, parts of modern Bangladesh
and parts of modern Burma, the outer con kingdom, we have coins, and I've seen them you know, I'm a
coin collector, we have coins from the outer kind dynasty that are that are minted in Arabic, with
the kalama, La ilaha illAllah, Muhammad Rasulullah. The era can dynasty as we said, some of them
converted, some of them remain Buddhist. So the outer Khan dynasty in compassed, modern India, parts
of India, parts of Bangladesh parts of Burma. So the claim that modern ro hinga all come from
Bangladesh historically is false. And then secondly, who cares where they came from? You're not
		

			supposed to treat them in this manner. We're gonna get to that after a while and to prove the strong
connections between Burma and the rest of the Indian subcontinent. It is well known historically,
that traders merchants people would come from and between these lands in fact, for those of you who
know Indian history,
		

			the the Mughal the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb when there was a civil war between him and his brother
and his brother had to flee. His brother fled to what is now modern Burma, and his brother and his
descendants remained in Burma. Those of you again who are familiar with Indian history, Shah Bahadur
suffered the last Mughal Emperor, where was he exiled, to what is now modern Burma. The British sent
him to Burma, because from the British perspective, this is one of their provinces like India, like
all of it is one of their provinces, like the British sent laborers from India, to Guyana to
Trinidad to South Africa. They also sent people to Burma, from the perspective of the British, it's
		

			one land because they controlled all of it. So for people now to then backtrack and backtraces say,
Where do you originally come from? This is not only a racist question, but essentially every
civilization comes from another, another land another region, and then they settle down here, though
hinga peoples have been in that region for 500 years, to claim that they are not a part of that land
is racist, number one. And number two, who cares where they're from, they're human beings. They
don't deserve to be treated in this manner. Nonetheless, the racist claim that the government and
the people have is that these ro hinga are not ethnically from our land, they shouldn't be here, and
		

			they should go back to where they came from, despite the fact that their language is the language of
the other con people, their civilization as a civilization of a con people, they have nowhere to go
to. To make matters worse, the government has a systematic policy of persecuting them back to the
beginning of the land of Burma of Myanmar, from the 40s. From the beginning, these people have not
been given equal share of properties of rights of, of the education. In fact, there were studies
done back in the 80s, before the modern, the modern persecution began, where a list of apartheid
countries was written down south africa's number one, as you know, on that list was Burma. And its
		

			treatment of total hinga was classified as apartheid treatment. This is back in the 80s and 90s,
though hinga the Muslims of Burma and this is the largest Muslim group in Burma the way so though
hinga were not allowed to get education. They were not allowed to get the jobs of the other people.
They were living in ghettos in separate places. So what's going to happen? poverty, high rates of
crime, petty theft that when you have to feed your family, you have to do something. And so this
fuels the perception Oh, though, hinga are all terrorists, the finger all bad people. This is from
		

			The 80s and 90s before the modern issues began, what happened however, so by the effort, also a
footnote here in the 80s, and even before this led to a mass migration of Rohingya around the world,
people began fleeing because they don't want to live in this land, and the government and this shows
you how racist they are. They refuse to give them passports, though hinga are not allowed to have
Myanmar or Burmese passports, they're not allowed to have them. So they have to flee via un programs
that allow you to travel without passports. So total hinga To this day, and that's one of the
reasons travel is difficult because if they get a passport, then they can claim we are Burmese we
		

			are Myanmar, how can you mistreat us? So there's an infinite catch 22. The people the Burmese people
want the brain to leave, but they don't want to give them a passport. Because if they give them a
passport, this means we are equal you're a part of our land. So they are a stateless nation, the
United Nations officially called Little hinga, a stateless ethnicity, a state they don't have a
state, no state is willing to adopt them their own homeland, where they have been for 500 years does
not give them a passport, they can do nothing. So people fled in the 70s 80s 90s by the 10s of
1000s. And there are pockets of Burmese across the holige lands in the western lands, and some of
		

			them have Rosen risen to fame. In fact, one of the most famous Pura and the Imams of the harem,
somebody who I personally met no terms and very influenced by his voice Sheikh Mohammed a youth from
Medina he passed away two years ago, Sheikh Mohammed au was the Imam of the atom in Medina, and he
is from the ro hinga. He is from the Rohingya ethnicity he fled to his parents fled to Medina and he
was raised in Medina eventually he became the Imam of the atom. And by the way, the Burmese Muslims
the ro hinga are known for emphasizing the Quran heft of the Quran by and large total hinga are very
religious folks, they're very pious, they're they're praying they they're they have the the healthy
		

			habit of having their kids memorize the Quran is very common amongst them. So in Hamdulillah, even
in terms of religiosity, they are very well known. Nonetheless, back to our point here. So what
happened was eventually of course, people are going to fight back. And this fighting began or with
the modern phase of persecution began roughly in 2012. When a Muslim shopkeeper and a Buddhist
customer had a bit of a fight, the Buddhist customer complained and said, Oh, these doing this and
that, so then they went and burnt the shop down and began killing Muslims. They burnt the masjid
down. Hundreds of Muslims were massacred in mob mentality. This is spontaneous riots. This is 2012
		

			spontaneous riots. And this demonstrates the danger of dehumanizing another population. What happens
when you keep on saying these people are not a part of us? These people are evil. These people are
not fully Burmese are me and Mario's what's going to happen at the slightest provocation, just like
in Nazi Germany, and the hood, but I gave a few weeks ago, we have to be careful. It's happening
here in America with us this rhetoric that you are not fully the same as us. You don't deserve the
same rights as us right now. We can laugh about it, but 510 20 years, 30 years of constantly talking
like this, what's going to happen? One sparked in 2012 and 1000s of Muslims were forced to flee
		

			hundreds were killed. Some of you might remember some of the video footage of children being doused
with kerosene and set alight by the Burmese mobs. And the army is standing doing nothing, absolutely
nothing in front of their eyes. In fact, later on, we learned not only did they not do something in
certain places, the army participated. This is 2012. By the way before the modern, this is 2012, the
army participated. And when you have this power dynamics of men and uniforms and military, and you
have civilians, you will also get mass rapes, which from 2012, we have been hearing male allies that
will protect our sisters around the world. This is the reality what happens when you dehumanize a
		

			population claim they're not fully like us, you lose any sympathy for them. And we now have, as we
know, rapes killings, what not so this is 2012. What's going to happen, obviously, a group of Roe
hinga form bands and they fight back. And last year, they attacked a military post and they kill
some people. And I am not justifying any violence. But I want to say as an academic as a professor,
the term terrorist is meaningless. As a professor, I'm telling you not as a Muslim, as a professor,
the term terrorist is meaningless, because who gets to call whom a terrorist, it all depends on
who's speaking.
		

			So the government can call their own hinga terrorists because they attacked this military outpost,
but they can conveniently neglect what they themselves have been doing for the last 50 years. So as
a result of that attack last year, the government has basically lost all traces of humanity. And
they have declared total hinga and mass to be a fifth column to be all jihadi radical al Qaeda
inspired all of this is completely false as
		

			You know, these are civilians, they don't even have an army. They don't even have weapons in arms,
but they have declared all of the little hinga to be people that may be expelled and killed. And
from last year 2016 Up until now, there has has been a systematic attempt by the military. This
isn't now mobs anymore. 2012 was mobs now it is the military. And the military has official carte
blanche authorization from the government to expel or kill or get rid of the entire ro hinga
population. And this is what is happening for the last year in particular. And all of you are
painfully aware of the footage that is coming out. All of you are aware of 10s of 1000s of Muslims
		

			whose lives have been destroyed the butchery, the savagery, the burning of people alive, chopping
off of babies, this is well known. And there is video footage as well, there is a documentary,
there's pictures that have been taken. And this is something even the UN has declared, and I quote
from the UN report, a classic textbook case of genocide. This is from the UN classic textbook case
of genocide happening right before our eyes. And in particular, I want everybody to be aware of two
names to people that are directly responsible, the first of them the political leader of Myanmar,
and that his own son Suki, as we have said, the daughter of the father of the Burmese country, and
		

			the one who won the Nobel Peace Prize when she was a dissident. When she was against the government.
She won the Nobel Peace Prize. Now that she's in office, she has become even worse than the military
government was against the Muslims. And this shows us really what can happen when you gain power.
Aung San su kyi has publicly defended what the military is doing. And she has claimed that the
Muslims are all al Qaeda terrorist affiliates, whatnot. And she has in fact canceled public
engagements and other lands because she does not want to face the press. So she knows exactly what
is going on. And she is the one in the end of the day, the buck stops with her. She's the one in
		

			charge as well, there has to be religious fanaticism and there is Ashin wirathu. Ashin wirathu is
the Buddhist monk who was on the cover of Time magazine two years ago, and it said the face of
Buddhist terror. Ashin wirathu is one of the most inhumane Buddhist monks to ever have walked the
face of this earth. You think of Buddhism, you think of peace? Well, maybe generally, but there are
exceptions. And this is one of the main exceptions. He has called for open genocide for the
elimination of the Rohingya people. And he is their senior most cleric within the Bama.
		

			Theravada Buddhist understanding, he's one of the senior clerics, and he has blessed this endeavor.
And he has essentially said that it is permissible to kill the entire Rohingya population. And he is
one of the most respected clerics. So when you have your politician, and you have your cleric, both
telling you go do it, you have our blessings, we see what is happening right now. So for the last
year and a half, the situation has gone from bad to worse. And the last two weeks have seen over
300,000 and this is the UN estimate, whatever the UN estimates multiplied by two, the UN has
estimated 300,000 people have fled, maybe around 20,000 have been massacred, but they have no
		

			statistics on the massacres, because Myanmar is still shut off to the media. You really don't have
too many journalists inside there. Whatever we're getting is primarily from video footage of the
people who are being killed the people who might have some cameras or whatnot. By and large
journalists are barred from entering me and Mark, there are no journalists flying in as they covered
the Iraq War as they cover it of Hondas thought, No, nobody's flying in. because firstly, there's
not interest in the West. And secondly, the government has banned all journalists from coming in. So
what's going to happen when you have 300,000 people fleeing mass starvation, malnutrition, problems
		

			that people take advantage of them over and over again, and brothers and sisters, as we are
speaking, the situation really is at an impasse. We don't know what the future holds for them. We
are all aware that the superpowers have hardly done anything muted responses here and there some
minor contaminations here and there and of course, we have to be grateful for any politician
shedding light and condemning, but in the end of the day, what will condemning in and of itself do
we are thankful the Dalai Lama has condemned What is going on? He has spoken out against Aung San su
D key, but the Dalai Lama Muslims you should be aware of this. The Dalai Lama is not a follower of
		

			Tera vaada Buddhism, he is a follower of another branch of Buddhism called Tibetan Buddhism, and
Tibetan Buddhists and Theravada. Buddhists do not get along. So imagine a person from another sect
criticizing what's happening with another sec. It doesn't matter. It's falling on deaf ears. So the
Dalai Lama does not represent all of Buddhism. He is the pope figure for one strand, and that is
Tibetan Buddhism and
		

			strand in Myanmar in Burma is totally different. And they don't respect the Dalai Lama anyway. So
even though we're grateful, but still we have to understand even his condemnation actually, some
ironic ways might even fueled the fire because they hate the other strand stoma, just like we all
are aware there's inter strands issues going on. So they do not appreciate the other strand now that
the head of the other strand has criticized them in some perverse way. It might even make them even
more like okay, and he's criticizing, we have to do it even more. Nonetheless, brothers and sisters,
the purpose of the hobo was to contextualize was to make us understand and inshallah in the second
		

			part I'll give some advice of what can be done to help our brothers and sisters in Myanmar.
barakallahu li wonderful anyway, yeah, come my feet and ethical Hakim akoto matters my own was tough
for a lot of them they were documents animals. were no no photo Rahim.
		

			Alhamdulillah Allah had I had a summit a lady limited, what am you that what am your Kula who Khufu
and I had to do. First you can ask the brothers to move forward so that everybody can find space in
the back.
		

			Brothers and sisters, it is not lost on me and on all of you the painful reality that I myself have
stood here before you and across the world, moms and dads and how thieves have stood in front of
their gatherings and, and massage it and have reiterated over and over again the same story of
suffering. But the name changes the same issue of refugees. But the name changes the same problem of
massacres. But the name changes one crisis after another few weeks ago, this land few months ago
that land few years ago this land, and here in this same member and put an outfit I have given us
about Syria, about Kashmir, about Philistine about attacks in western lands about attacks by Western
		

			lands about natural calamities and disasters that we are witnessing I didn't even talk about in this
quote, but and without raising the alarm too much. But we are believers in a prophet sallallahu I
said to him who has predicted this? I mean, how much more do we need to understand that this is the
saw that and the Muslim the one spoke the truth. He predicted that a time will come when they will
be calamities they will be bloodshed every day will bring worse news than the one before it. And
this is what we are seeing with our own two eyes hearing with our own two ears. calamity after
calamity disaster after disaster. And our Prophet system explicitly explicitly said there shall be
		

			bloodshed, there shall be earthquakes, there shall be natural calamities. And look what is
happening. Well, we're barely done with one news, whether it's a natural disaster in Houston, then
we hear a Florida coming. We hear one news, whether it's Kashmir and then we find out Syria, we
finish off with Syria, we're not even done still the Syrian crisis is going on and another one
begins, if this is not going to make us believe then what will a prediction that we see happening in
front of us, and therefore we need to actually increase in our emaan. In the laws of logic. The
irony is that some people who don't have strong Eman, they actually suffer as a result of these
		

			crises. Many people are leaving religion, because they say How could a God allow this suffering? And
I talked about this in a recent debate and also in an academic lecture, and you will find it online.
This is not the hook. But how do we understand evil? I've given that hold but but many people are
leaving religion? Because they're saying how can we explain all of this that is going on? And of
course, the irony by leaving religion, it's not as if they have an answer. Actually, they become
even more in despair. When you leave God, you don't even have any answer. At least when you believe
in God, you'll have some answers about why there is evil, not by leaving God, you're going to have
		

			better answers. On the contrary, by leaving God the question becomes meaningless. There is no evil
there is no good. So we as Muslims, rather than weaken our faith, much less lose it, we should
increase our Eman. We should believe in a profits of the lowest animal predicted all over this 1400
years ago, as well. Brothers and sisters, and we mentioned this when we talked about why evil
occurs. One of the main wisdoms of the existence of pain and suffering is to test those who want to
change that pain and suffering, to test those who want to stop that pain and suffering. And
therefore every time we hear of one pain of one suffering, we need to do something whatever it is to
		

			try to help whether it's drop, whether it is financial, whether it is spreading awareness, whether
it is pointing out the double standards and hypocrisy of those who claim never again, and yet it
always happens over and over and over again. Of those who want to integrate
		

			In 110 1000 years CDs are trapped in a mountain, and they send them the helicopters from America and
they send in the warplanes to rescue 10,000 on a mountaintop, but when 6 million Syrians are gassed
by their own tyrant, they couldn't care less. When a quarter of a million Rohingya have to flee,
they just say, Oh, sorry, what can we do? Yes, we point out the double standards. You don't you
cannot intervene when it suits your interest and claim this as humanitarian? No, be honest. And say
we're intervening because it suits our political agenda. Don't claim that there's a humanitarian
reason when you intervene. Because far greater crises have happened and are happening and the world
		

			could not care less, the United Nations can issue a condemnation. And that is it. The super powers
can just say, oh, that shouldn't be happening and not to single penny is spent. So yes, we speak out
on those double standards. And we talk to the peoples around us and explain to them these double
standards per chance, they will also see what is going on, and brothers and sisters. What we can do
as well is feel a connection with the oma one of the least things that we can do is to genuinely be
troubled. It shows that our heart still has some Eman to live a callous life, a carefree life, not
caring what is going on? Or we're not terrified. What is happening to them here today might happen
		

			to us tomorrow here. Are we not terrified that just like in Syria, nobody could have thought it
would have happened just like you nobody here that's happening what about in our lands. So we will
try our best to alleviate their pain and suffering, even though there's not much we can do. But we
continue doing whatever little we can because in that little is hope of Allah's forgiveness. Because
that's all we can do. I cannot miraculously snap my fingers and stop the entire crisis, the entire
people fleeing, but public awareness, talking about it on my Facebook page, bringing it to people's
attention, giving hope. But whatever finances we have, help out with them make do out for them. Did
		

			you ever make dua for the Syrian refugees, brothers and sisters, have you ever raised your hands and
made genuine drop for the people of Afghanistan and Iraq for the people of Rohingya, that's the
least we can do. And it shows a sense of connection, a sense of oma that we have to help even if
it's just by raising our hands, and saying, Oh Allah help them. And of course, brothers and sisters
of the things that we need to do, in light of all that is happening. And perhaps this is the most
important thing is to recognize the blessings that Allah has given us. And to appreciate those
blessings by increasing in our own worship of him by being thankful for the freedoms that we have to
		

			worship Allah five times a day, to be able to pray and fast to be able to be good Muslims. How sad
is it that people are being killed for practice seeing Islam, and here we are with the freedom to
practice Islam, and we are not practicing Islam, the least that we can do is to appreciate those
blessings and make a betterment in our own daily lives. If I can't save them, at least let me save
myself and my family. If I can't save the rest of the world, let me save my family and friends to
the greatest of my extent. And in the end of the day, brothers and sisters, that is all that Allah
will ask you, what did you do, given your code or your power that I blessed you with your money that
		

			I blessed you with your opportunities that I must do it? What did you do within that realm? Allah
