time, an unbroken chain of knowledge
through the centuries. This is what Islam is about.
How people get
from their Indian forebears, how did they get Islam from their Hindu forebears? How did they get from the people who brought to them
but people brought Islam
This is how to stem brothers and sisters, knowledge is the heart of the project. Teaching is at the heart of the project. And the profits
are one on one time he described himself as another
you one cleaner,
I will sit as a teacher.
I will say that the teacher to teach what so long while he was

Because if these are all D
What is this? What is his character you're on an exalted standard of character. I shall
call it Canada.
His character was an embodiment of the court in
his character was an embodiment of recorded
he was described as walking
solo.
And this is what we should be we should be people of exalted character.
We should be people embodying the character that's taught and encouraged by the warden.
We should be people who reach out and our source of mercy to others because they are. So how does the world start?
This?
This is how they are and start what is repeated over and over in the Quran at the outset of every chapter except one story.
And why does that say Why not?
Because story told us about war

He described themselves

The Civilian people? Where's the mercy for that?
Or is the mercy of the so called Islamic State?
What is the most?
Well, even people convert to Islam? Not only are murdered in cold blood, and then the murderer is broadcast all over the world, to show how
mercilessness
is the fools who act in the name of Islam? And I know maybe someone out there, you've been visiting their websites. While I'm telling you.
These are fools
who appear at the end of time.
For those who speak in public affairs, that falling behind people of wisdom
who converted to Islam
and broadcast the word.

Who was giving mercy to the Muslims?
When there was a man who's fighting in combat,
who's fighting the Muslims in combat, not helping.
He was helping the Muslim

and
kill him. He said

So a lot of it was set up
by the
Colorado, and he can be beating you killed him after he said,
not

dedicating his life to serving the Muslim, but someone who's fighting the Muslims.
I wish I'm not taking this stuff until after this. In other words, I wish had not been Muslim who killed this person who said
he didn't know he was fighting against
ISIS.
This is a religion of mercy, not religion of murder.
