What

00:02:48 --> 00:02:49

00:02:57 --> 00:02:58

it that you're

00:03:03 --> 00:03:04

more sharp or

00:03:28 --> 00:03:28

00:03:38 --> 00:03:38

A lot

00:03:49 --> 00:03:51

of arrays due to a loss

00:03:54 --> 00:04:07

of phases due to a loss. This test will slam appraisers due to the law has blessed us with this beautiful edifice. What happened in the first job.

00:04:08 --> 00:04:30

And overall the law in this building is this building to reach completion. A lot of time in the community. Now mom bless and multiply the reward of anyone even the one who's contributed one cent towards the construction of this building.

00:04:31 --> 00:04:37

No longer longest is community to grow beyond the few buildings on this end,

00:04:38 --> 00:04:40

to consume the entire

00:04:42 --> 00:04:56

entire neighborhood or to encompass entire neighborhood and to be a source of good source of life, a source of learning. We're a community of building

00:04:57 --> 00:04:59

as we see this building going up

00:05:00 --> 00:05:15

We see the buildings that would have been church or residents becoming places of burning places of lessons of knowledge, places of frustration, and pm. And

00:05:17 --> 00:05:22

this is how this land has spread to the far corners of this earth

00:05:23 --> 00:05:30

is London that spread through violence as some say. And as some, even this guy will

00:05:31 --> 00:05:37

lead us to believe. Islam spread knowledge, Islam spread through

00:05:38 --> 00:05:45

the snow spread through hearts being touched by the message of the center.

00:05:46 --> 00:05:48

Our gray forbear even me

00:05:50 --> 00:05:56

is related to say, concerning the character of Houma Brown, Lena,

00:05:58 --> 00:06:00

Lena, that is,

00:06:03 --> 00:06:03

that

00:06:09 --> 00:06:09

that is

00:06:11 --> 00:06:23

that we were pleased with the division The old lady has made concerning us, we have knowledge and our enemies have wealth, as a wealth and passes away soon enough,

00:06:29 --> 00:06:34

knowledge has been buried treasure, that is the love that was far less than

00:06:36 --> 00:06:38

it was when the

00:06:40 --> 00:06:44

night and resize the tarawih prayers, and besides

00:06:46 --> 00:06:50

is reciting the core energy that is received from this teacher

00:06:55 --> 00:06:57

in Manhattan, so I'm

00:06:59 --> 00:07:00

away due

00:07:03 --> 00:07:04

to the unsafe

00:07:08 --> 00:07:09

an awesome

00:07:25 --> 00:07:28

time, an unbroken chain of knowledge

00:07:30 --> 00:07:34

through the centuries. This is what Islam is about.

00:07:39 --> 00:07:40

How people get

00:07:43 --> 00:07:54

from their Indian forebears, how did they get Islam from their Hindu forebears? How did they get from the people who brought to them

00:07:56 --> 00:07:57

but people brought Islam

00:08:00 --> 00:08:10

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

00:08:12 --> 00:08:17

are one on one time he described himself as another

00:08:19 --> 00:08:21

you one cleaner,

00:08:22 --> 00:08:24

I will sit as a teacher.

00:08:27 --> 00:08:32

I will say that the teacher to teach what so long while he was

00:08:36 --> 00:08:52

telling me that they can do an awful lot. I will say I will only set it to perfect good character to teach the perfection of good character and that comes to the Quranic model.

00:08:56 --> 00:08:56

What

00:08:58 --> 00:08:59

are v

00:09:02 --> 00:09:04

v? And that goes back to the court.

00:09:05 --> 00:09:08

Because if these are all D

00:09:10 --> 00:09:18

What is this? What is his character you're on an exalted standard of character. I shall

00:09:19 --> 00:09:21

call it Canada.

00:09:24 --> 00:09:28

His character was an embodiment of the court in

00:09:29 --> 00:09:32

his character was an embodiment of recorded

00:09:36 --> 00:09:38

he was described as walking

00:09:44 --> 00:09:45

solo.

00:09:46 --> 00:09:52

And this is what we should be we should be people of exalted character.

00:09:53 --> 00:09:59

We should be people embodying the character that's taught and encouraged by the warden.

00:10:01 --> 00:10:10

We should be people who reach out and our source of mercy to others because they are. So how does the world start?

00:10:11 --> 00:10:12

This?

00:10:15 --> 00:10:24

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.

00:10:25 --> 00:10:27

And why does that say Why not?

00:10:29 --> 00:10:31

Because story told us about war

00:10:33 --> 00:10:37

and conflict. So it's not appropriate to open up.

00:10:40 --> 00:10:43

The force of mercy giving

00:10:47 --> 00:10:47

them

00:10:48 --> 00:10:49

this is our religion

00:10:51 --> 00:10:54

tells us about our profit. So we'll love it.

00:10:58 --> 00:11:02

That he was a rush, but he was a person to all the words.

00:11:05 --> 00:11:07

He described themselves

00:11:12 --> 00:11:13

as a gift

00:11:14 --> 00:11:16

and the gift of mercy,

00:11:24 --> 00:11:25

mercy for the world.

00:11:28 --> 00:11:33

A lot of times, he says he's merciful to the believers, a lot of times.

00:11:36 --> 00:11:37

And if

00:11:39 --> 00:11:40

this person

00:11:45 --> 00:11:48

is compassionate and merciful to the believers,

00:11:51 --> 00:11:52

this is our

00:11:57 --> 00:11:59

where is the mercy to the believers?

00:12:02 --> 00:12:05

To the believers, was the mercy to the believers,

00:12:07 --> 00:12:14

or be involved bombed the blockade? Not the political or military rules, the civilian people?

00:12:17 --> 00:12:19

The Civilian people? Where's the mercy for that?

00:12:21 --> 00:12:24

Or is the mercy of the so called Islamic State?

00:12:26 --> 00:12:27

What is the most?

00:12:29 --> 00:12:39

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

00:12:41 --> 00:12:42

mercilessness

00:12:44 --> 00:12:55

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.

00:12:56 --> 00:12:57

These are fools

00:13:01 --> 00:13:02

who appear at the end of time.

00:13:05 --> 00:13:12

For those who speak in public affairs, that falling behind people of wisdom

00:13:20 --> 00:13:22

who converted to Islam

00:13:26 --> 00:13:27

and broadcast the word.

00:13:29 --> 00:13:30

How do you think that

00:13:34 --> 00:13:47

this man was an aid worker, who has helped me with being a source of mercy to the Muslims in Syria, and he's kidnapped me so far as kidnapper to these murders.

00:13:49 --> 00:13:51

What is the word of the Prophet symbolized oh seven

00:13:53 --> 00:13:57

consult the prophet SAW the light of seven before you can shift

00:13:58 --> 00:14:03

and start your Google Search down the rabbit hole into *.

00:14:06 --> 00:14:09

Who was giving mercy to the Muslims?

00:14:12 --> 00:14:16

When there was a man who's fighting in combat,

00:14:17 --> 00:14:21

who's fighting the Muslims in combat, not helping.

00:14:24 --> 00:14:25

He was helping the Muslim

00:14:27 --> 00:14:34

and he was he was fighting the Muslims. Right. And then the battle. He felt a prisoner to stand up

00:14:35 --> 00:14:36

and

00:14:40 --> 00:14:42

kill him. He said

00:14:50 --> 00:14:50

they

00:14:53 --> 00:14:54

say to them anyway

00:14:56 --> 00:14:59

and when they reformed the message

00:15:01 --> 00:15:03

And the Messenger of Allah He said,

00:15:06 --> 00:15:14

You kill this person on the battlefield who was fighting against the Muslim pastor. He said, the law,

00:15:19 --> 00:15:19

the law

00:15:24 --> 00:15:25

on money.

00:15:28 --> 00:15:28

He said

00:15:29 --> 00:15:32

he was only saying it to protect themselves.

00:15:38 --> 00:15:39

So a lot of it was set up

00:15:41 --> 00:15:42

by the

00:15:47 --> 00:15:52

Colorado, and he can be beating you killed him after he said,

00:15:53 --> 00:15:54

not

00:15:55 --> 00:15:58

not being merciful to the Muslims not

00:16:00 --> 00:16:06

dedicating his life to serving the Muslim, but someone who's fighting the Muslims.

00:16:08 --> 00:16:16

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

00:16:18 --> 00:16:20

he didn't know he was fighting against

00:16:22 --> 00:16:22

ISIS.

00:16:27 --> 00:16:31

This is a religion of mercy, not religion of murder.

00:16:32 --> 00:16:33

Most

00:16:43 --> 00:16:45

people want to join

00:16:50 --> 00:16:54

you know, you're not going to see an American soldier in

00:16:56 --> 00:17:03

American soldier in Syria. You're not going to see an American soldier in Iraq. You're going to see another Muslim.

00:17:05 --> 00:17:07

You're going to see another Muslim.

00:17:10 --> 00:17:13

Are the mind convinced you know, Merson Americans?

00:17:15 --> 00:17:17

More Eastern Americans

00:17:18 --> 00:17:20

sign up and worse of Americans.

00:17:22 --> 00:17:27

And blow yourself up. And more Merson Americans.

00:17:30 --> 00:17:31

messenger said

00:17:32 --> 00:17:35

that he dedicated neither

00:17:39 --> 00:17:39

of us

00:17:41 --> 00:17:43

other than messaging me

00:17:44 --> 00:17:49

whoever murders an innocent soul it's as if they murdered all of humanity.

00:17:52 --> 00:17:55

all of humanity Why? Because they make the blood of everyone

00:17:58 --> 00:18:02

they make everyone on earth locker.

00:18:04 --> 00:18:07

Brothers bombed the Boston Marathon

00:18:09 --> 00:18:13

and really for who was killed an eight year old boy What did he do

00:18:15 --> 00:18:18

he's not even old enough to fight fight.

00:18:24 --> 00:18:25

A graduate student from China

00:18:27 --> 00:18:28

so

00:18:30 --> 00:18:32

innocent millions in the

00:18:33 --> 00:18:36

Western world who medical

00:18:37 --> 00:18:39

going to indiscriminately

00:18:41 --> 00:18:42

commenting on this first

00:18:48 --> 00:18:49

of all

00:18:52 --> 00:18:56

this lady from halfway around the world in China law

00:19:00 --> 00:19:03

This is not it's not my brothers and sisters

00:19:04 --> 00:19:07

is doing this for Ramadan is teaching us

00:19:08 --> 00:19:08

as

00:19:11 --> 00:19:12

most

00:19:13 --> 00:19:13

Russian

00:19:15 --> 00:19:16

shalom Allah

00:19:18 --> 00:19:21

the first of the month is loose.

00:19:24 --> 00:19:28

And the middle part is as forgiveness

00:19:30 --> 00:19:33

and this latter part is liberation from the hellfire.

00:19:34 --> 00:19:38

Russia is Russia, which

00:19:41 --> 00:19:44

was described as being extremely generous in Ramadan.

00:19:46 --> 00:19:46

Why is that?

00:19:49 --> 00:19:51

Even is too long.

00:19:53 --> 00:19:53

So

00:19:56 --> 00:19:56

now

00:20:00 --> 00:20:00

Red

00:20:06 --> 00:20:07

nasty

00:20:09 --> 00:20:10

Ramadan hidden

00:20:17 --> 00:20:18

hidden in your home.

00:20:19 --> 00:20:20

Ramadan

00:20:25 --> 00:20:32

was the most generous of all people. And the time he was especially generous was in Ramadan when they

00:20:34 --> 00:20:40

would come to him. And we do look for and with him. And when the angel Gabriel came

00:20:41 --> 00:20:41

to me

00:20:42 --> 00:20:44

he was more generous than the

00:20:46 --> 00:20:47

solo

00:20:49 --> 00:20:50

because they were

00:20:54 --> 00:20:55

talking about spending

00:20:57 --> 00:20:57

first

00:21:02 --> 00:21:04

and then you go through the tour

00:21:23 --> 00:21:23

Hello.

00:21:32 --> 00:21:32

Well

00:21:36 --> 00:21:42

before de comes in, you won't be able to spin and spin spin spin

00:21:43 --> 00:21:48

along with his pure heart and his sincerity to a lot when those messages

00:21:49 --> 00:21:52

spin are coming to them in Ramadan as

00:21:58 --> 00:21:59

well as

00:22:01 --> 00:22:01

Ramadan.

00:22:06 --> 00:22:20

So as we read the Ramadan is telling us mercy, mercy, mercy, not just opening 113 times for hunger, he is having an additional

00:22:23 --> 00:22:23

visit

00:22:25 --> 00:22:30

another time by the all of the verbs and derivatives of rock

00:22:32 --> 00:22:32

and roll

00:22:33 --> 00:22:34

your Hulu

00:22:37 --> 00:22:38

etc.

00:22:40 --> 00:22:42

This message is overwhelming

00:22:43 --> 00:22:47

and uplift us and inspire us to be immersive.

00:22:48 --> 00:22:52

And this is what we teach.

00:22:53 --> 00:22:57

This is what our religion teaches. This is why knowledge is important.

00:22:59 --> 00:23:00

Because knowledge

00:23:01 --> 00:23:04

this into us systematically.

00:23:09 --> 00:23:10

Knowledge.

00:23:11 --> 00:23:13

And all the students of knowledge here

00:23:14 --> 00:23:14

is called

00:23:19 --> 00:23:25

the holidays as customarily given as the first and we'll send that over

00:23:26 --> 00:23:28

and what is it

00:23:30 --> 00:23:31

that was

00:23:32 --> 00:23:33

before anything else.

00:23:45 --> 00:23:46

The most simple people,

00:23:48 --> 00:23:51

the All Merciful men must

00:23:54 --> 00:23:58

be merciful. The denizens of the earth.

00:23:59 --> 00:24:06

And the innocence of the heavens before you to the angels, or the one above the heavens referring to a loss

00:24:07 --> 00:24:11

would be merciful to you. This is the first time

00:24:13 --> 00:24:17

Why do we know the student at the heart of this enterprise is

00:24:18 --> 00:24:19

because most

00:24:20 --> 00:24:26

people they become knowledgeable on what to do with this knowledge.

00:24:39 --> 00:24:40

How can you even

00:24:45 --> 00:24:47

yourself so he's

00:24:48 --> 00:24:52

eligible, but it is knowledge benefit? No, no.

00:24:54 --> 00:24:56

Why? Because arrogated

00:24:59 --> 00:24:59

how many

00:25:00 --> 00:25:06

Elegant scholars Do we know how many arrogance? Students who have knowledge, do we know better than him?

00:25:08 --> 00:25:11

He was better, was better, better,

00:25:12 --> 00:25:13

better,

00:25:14 --> 00:25:17

better, better, etc.

00:25:18 --> 00:25:19

All right.

00:25:22 --> 00:25:24

The most simple people are the ones

00:25:25 --> 00:25:25

who shall

00:25:29 --> 00:25:32

be merciful to the people in the earth.

00:25:33 --> 00:25:36

To the people in the earth, be merciful to each other.

00:25:38 --> 00:25:39

We must

00:25:48 --> 00:26:04

now reverse Mohammed is the Messenger of Allah, those who are within their startup and farming in the face of violent, antagonistic rejecters of the religion that will support themselves.

00:26:06 --> 00:26:08

Now we'll find the Muslim is merciful.

00:26:11 --> 00:26:13

To those who are fighting against Islam,

00:26:15 --> 00:26:18

and against those who are their brothers

00:26:20 --> 00:26:25

started against those who are their brothers, every single country.

00:26:30 --> 00:26:33

Every single country is bombing Yemen.

00:26:35 --> 00:26:39

With this type of landscape, Gaza was being bombed into the Stone Age.
