			which is a sign that it's beloved to him.
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:41
			And he has adorned it in your hearts, faith beautifies our hearts as believers, our faith is
beautiful. Our religion is beautiful. The Muslims are beautiful people.
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:46
			You'll never see an ugly believer.
		
00:05:47 --> 00:06:02
			Even if the person's physical features wouldn't be described as stereotypically attractive the nor
the light of faith that shines from the heart
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:05
			beautifies that believer
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:09
			and you look at him, or you look at her.
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:12
			And you say that's a beautiful person.
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:14
			And hamdulillah
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:27
			was someone who might have stereotypically beautiful features, but their heart is dark. And the
actions of vile
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:31
			they repost you, you can't even look at them.
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:37
			And you say that's a filthy, ugly, vile person.
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:41
			Our religion is beautiful.
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:48
			Unfortunately, there are a lot of people out there, some of them who aren't Muslim.
		
00:06:50 --> 00:07:03
			And some who are Muslims, who are apparently doing everything in their power to make this faith,
something seems something ugly, something repulsive,
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:15
			something that is not rooted in beautiful values, and beautiful ethics, and beautiful practices like
the hunt.
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:19
			That is underway, even as we speak,
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:27
			where people from all over the world or representing every race and ethnicity are gathering
together.
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:41
			And a show of brotherhood, and unity, and community. And service to Almighty God is the most
beautiful assembly on Earth.
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:45
			But many people they don't see that
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:53
			the faith has been presented with such distorting
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:56
			images,
		
00:07:57 --> 00:08:02
			that even the Muslims are affected. Even the believers are affected.
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:07
			get depressed how many Muslims today they're depressed
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:10
			and gloomy.
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:42
			We just spoke to one of the leaders of the Muslim who said he was wearing his jelibean and felt
uncomfortable. And then a sense of shame to be recognized as a Muslim not because of anything he
did, but because of the images that some Muslims portray. And then those images are magnified and
distorted and then fed to people who are ignorant, they don't know better. And they think that's
what Islam is all about.
		
00:08:44 --> 00:09:11
			Brothers and sisters, we have to show what Islam is all about. We have to be strong. These are days
that require strength. These are days that require patience. These are days that require fortitude.
These are days that require each and every one of us look down into the depths of his heart or her
heart the depths of his soul or her soul.
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:22
			And then challenge themselves to forge on to be strong to keep smiling as our Prophet smile. sal
Allahu Allah who was sending them.
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:31
			One way we do that is to understand that what we are witnessing the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam he forecasts
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:36
			and to understand the reward
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:42
			of being strong when everything is trying to break you down.
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:45
			When everything is trying to break you down.
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:53
			The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam as recorded by Abu radi Allahu Allah.
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:58
			Allah sallallahu alayhi wa Rahim Allah excuse me
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:08
			Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he is the man. Am I going to send a Yama Saba
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:15
			Kabhi doofy her Allah de pollo, kabhi, the island Germany, where
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:17
			Armenia
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:33
			can add up, have seen or Rosalyn palu mina Yara Sula, la ominto Paula Salama who it was sent a
minko. So he said at the end of time,
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:54
			there will be difficult days, there will be called days of patience, because it will take patience
to negotiate them it will take patience to hold on to your religion, it will take patience, to
resist the temptations to give up, to back down to bail out.
		
00:10:57 --> 00:11:19
			Knowing the difficulty, so he said these days will be can't be called days of patience. Our Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he was showing everything that would be and knowing the difficulty of
these days. He mentioned the reward of those who forged on would be great. how great he said
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:38
			in terms of the difficulty rather well Kabhi doofy her eyelid fee her Allah de kabhi the Allen
jammer, one who continues to hold on to their religion during these days. We'll be like one holding
on to a burning coal. A smoldering Ember.
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:47
			Maybe some of you barbecue this summer, maybe you're still barbecuing because this is global warming
it's still summer
		
00:11:49 --> 00:12:03
			so you still barbecuing The next time you barbecue look at the the coals the charcoals the red hot
one. And imagine how difficult it would be to scoop one out and hold it in your head.
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:09
			You wouldn't just scoop it out and Mashallah. You'd be Ooh,
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:34
			you hold it. It wouldn't be easy to take one of those burning embers. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam he said this is how difficult it will be for one to hold on to his religion. We'll call
the do Allah Dini here, copy the algebra, and says that the hold on is so difficult. The one who
does it and deals with the pain
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:45
			and deals with the difficulty and holds on to that burning Ember, even though it's burning his flesh
and this may be bringing tears to his eyes.
		
00:12:47 --> 00:13:11
			He will have an immense reward how remains how immense Kala sallallahu alayhi wa sallam were as you
will Amelie fear the reward of one who continues to practice continues to add continues to hold on
continues to be strong. hv m SR Rosalyn is like the reward of 50 men.
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:38
			Hearing this the companions who were present palu they said mina jasola love from us on messenger of
Allah 50 reward, the reward of 50 men from amongst us, our men whom are 50 men amongst them at that
time. Call us Allah lohani who said the men come? No 50 men from amongst you.
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:51
			In other words, brothers and sisters, if you hold on if you are strong, if you continue to practice,
despite the pressure, you will have the reward of 50 companions
		
00:13:53 --> 00:14:19
			you will have the reward of 50 companions. Sometimes we get so caught up in the bump and grind of
our daily life. We lose touch of what this is all about. We lose touch of the reward. That's enough
for us and so we drift and because you're not thinking of the reward, if someone told you to walk to
Montauk
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:27
			you wouldn't. Probably wouldn't do it. And that's a long way.
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:30
			What's in it for me?
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:32
			Nothing.
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:35
			Say man, I'm not walking there.
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:37
			I take the train
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:39
			or boat.
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:49
			But if they said walk to Montauk point, if you do it, I'll give you $10,000 start typing your
sneakers up.
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:52
			Put some water in you can
		
00:14:54 --> 00:15:00
			you want me gone for 95? Should I take the lie or how
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:01
			Do you want me to go?
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:30
			because now you're aware of the reward of your effort. So turn sometimes you like the first person
we forget the reward. We forget the reward of 50 companions we forget the reward of gender to fear
thou shalt Allah, we forget the reward of being in the company of the prophets, and this and the
righteous and the martyrs and the and the the testifiers who have held the truth of the prophets
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:50
			when they use it in their head while Rasulullah hula he cannot let in and I'm Allahu Allah him mina
nebby Nina was Cydia clean was shuhada it was Salim, were hacer una una a karateka whoever obeys
Allah and His Messenger
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:55
			whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger
		
00:15:57 --> 00:16:07
			they will be with the ones will be stowed our blessings on from amongst the prophets and the Cydia
him like Abby Becca rhodiola Han
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:23
			and the martyrs like Hamza rhodiola. Han and Musab dinero romae radi Allahu Allah, and su mejor
rhodiola han han and all of those throughout the history of this oma and the righteous people.
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:35
			While hacer una ley karateka what an excellent host to be amongst, we forget that's what allows
promising us.
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:50
			Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and he better to fill How can he jurati Elijah, one who continues
to worship during times of tribulation.
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:55
			When Muslims are killing each other,
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:59
			is like one who makes pilgrimage to me.
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:05
			can hit you roti, Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:40
			Why because during those times, people forget about their religion. They become so obsessed with
their political stances, they become so obsessed with their sectarian positions. They become so
obsessed with the non essential because while all of these things are from the HD head that where
people are free to differ, but those differences become life and death issues and they forget the
real life and death issues like their prayer
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:42
			and their charity.
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:48
			And they're assisting their fellow Muslims in their fellow humans.
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:54
			These are the things that drive away the favor of Allah subhanho wa Taala when they're lacking
		
00:17:55 --> 00:18:15
			Willow who found an opt in a cannon up to Fiona fee, Ahmed Abu ferrania he Allah will continue to
help the servant as long as the servant is helping his brother. They forget that they forget
fundamental teachings of our religion
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:22
			such as the following color sallallahu alayhi wasallam
		
00:18:23 --> 00:19:12

00:19:18 --> 00:19:20
			I have despaired of a law's mercy.
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:22
			They forget.
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:29
			And the Muslims in Turkey this summer.
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:34
			People say lol Hello law
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:45
			and was threatened with death by these people claiming to represent a snap and to establish a
killer. One brother was beaten
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:56
			like they be because it was Hollywood. But it happened in real life. Like they beat that girl in 12
Years a Slave rip his back open
		
00:19:59 --> 00:19:59
			when they asked
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:06
			Did he know Quran he say I know surah baqarah and started reciting that wasn't enough.
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:17
			So if the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Whoever assist
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:27
			in killing a believer by uttering half a word. What about those who murder people as they're saying
the Shahada
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:31
			is not just any Iraq and Syria,
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:34
			the
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:37
			barbaric
		
00:20:38 --> 00:20:40
			assault on the Mall in Kenya,
		
00:20:43 --> 00:20:46
			where people claiming there's some kind of Mujahid
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:52
			are eating candy bars while they're shooting innocent people.
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:56
			They shot a teenage girl
		
00:20:57 --> 00:21:01
			after she proclaimed the Shahada, because she wasn't wearing hijab.
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:17
			We have to stand up each and every one of us and be a living embodiment of the beauty of Islam
during these times.
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:26
			And the justice of Islam and the mercy of Islam starting with each other, starting with our
families.
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:30
			Starting in our communities,
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:35
			we have to generate the light
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:44
			that will outshine all of these deeds and misdeeds that are broadcast all over the world.
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:49
			In many instances by the perpetrators themselves.
		
00:21:52 --> 00:22:01
			We have to do our job. When hoarseness Nirmal Mori parku Mela Yani a person's Islam being good.
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:04
			We can even translate it beautiful.
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:06
			Men hosting Yes,
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:13
			sir, a handsome beautiful young man. Raja lon Shaban Hassan
		
00:22:16 --> 00:22:21
			is leaving that which doesn't the person leaving that which doesn't concern them.
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:51
			We one of the things that doesn't concern us is those things we can't control. We can control the
actions of a bunch of lunatics halfway around the world, we can control the actions of the media
that uses those images and exploits those actions. to distort how people look at Islam. We can't
control that. What we can control is what we do.
		
00:22:53 --> 00:23:05
			What we can control is how we act and how we pray. And how we engage in acts of charity, charity,
how we stand up for justice, how we join good causes.
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:12
			That's what we can control. We can control
		
00:23:13 --> 00:23:14
			how our Masjid
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:18
			undertakes good actions
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:33
			and becomes a magnet for people. That's what we can control. And that's our business as Muslims we
can control if we I was talking to another leader of the Muslims recently
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:44
			about a particular situation after the the person had despaired of relief from any direction
		
00:23:46 --> 00:23:53
			intense prayer was made. And the answer came we can control our
		
00:23:54 --> 00:24:11
			if you want to know the weapon we need in this day we don't need bombs. We don't need bullets. We
don't need jet planes. What we need is the weapon of the believer at do our celestial movement do
our is the weapon of the believer.
		
00:24:12 --> 00:24:19
			As soon as you say I prayed and nothing happened was the last time you pray when no one's around
		
00:24:20 --> 00:24:21
			in the middle of the night
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:25
			and the tears were rolling down your face.
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:27
			Yeah, Allah
		
00:24:29 --> 00:24:45
			help us in our situation. Yeah, Allah don't take us to test based on what the fools amongst us do.
Yeah, Allah don't allow the people's minds and hearts who aren't Muslim to be poisoned
		
00:24:46 --> 00:24:59
			by these poisonous propaganda. Your ally don't allow our leaders to be vilified and demonized by
those who want to see our communities cast into anarchy and disarray.
		
00:25:02 --> 00:25:30
			Yeah Allah blesses us to be strong yeah Allah blesses to continue to act. Yeah Allah blesses us to
continue to worship you with love and with fervor. Yeah Allah bless our women for your law protect
our young people from all those nefarious schemes that are out there to turn them away from your
remembrance to turn them away from their path. Y'all are blessed them to be amongst those southern
suburbs
		
00:25:34 --> 00:25:50
			in Amman, Adil worshiping Ganesha FA that Allah bless them to be young people grow up worshipping

00:25:52 --> 00:25:56
			and bless us. bless all of the Muslims.
		
00:25:57 --> 00:26:24
			Brothers and sisters we have to be strong. Our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam told us and
movement Allah how we hi Ron Eloy Jimenez Munna die for the Kulin higher. The strong believer is
better and more beloved to a lot than the weak believer and in each there's good. There's good and
each but the strong is better. The one who is spiritually strong.
		
00:26:25 --> 00:26:41
			How can we the Arabs have an expression or you do Shea in your team one lacking something can't give
it to someone else, when we see are people who are drowning in the swamp of immorality, because
they've been caught up
		
00:26:43 --> 00:27:16
			in all of this negativity that's put out there from the the cultural influences and cultural traps
and the massage and mystic and whatever else, the music and the degenerate popular culture and the
anti anti godly and anti religious messages permeating you look at we just driving in here big sign
boxtrolls or something. And you make it even cute.
		
00:27:18 --> 00:27:20
			The despicable me
		
00:27:22 --> 00:27:29
			the one eyelid a little creature that everyone has sympathy and mercy on
		
00:27:30 --> 00:27:31
			magnificent.
		
00:27:32 --> 00:27:36
			You glorify witchcraft and evil and devil worship.
		
00:27:38 --> 00:27:44
			Until people have a hard time even recognizing what true spirituality involves.
		
00:27:45 --> 00:28:20
			And then they're systematically turned away from the religion of Allah. And then the the the whole
situation is compounded by all of those things are we're told that our soul in its lowest state of
development and knifes a more of the suit, the soul that commands towards bioness why because it is
removed from its Lord, it is connected to a shahabad to his physical loss. So you throw every

00:30:40 --> 00:30:59
			And we have everything we need to win that struggle. The angels are made from light. What is one of
the most profound prayers our Prophet tada sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is in Buhari is in Muslim

			May Allah bless us?
		
00:32:10 --> 00:32:23
			In this struggle, may Allah bless us to be that strong believer, spiritually strong, intellectually
strong. Our ancestors were the most intellectually strong people.
		
00:32:24 --> 00:33:13
			Some of the most intellectually strong people history has seen. That's how they built these
architectural wonders. That's how they discovered incredible advances and innovations in
agriculture. That's how they were able to to pass on refine and preserve the knowledge of antiquity
and pass it on to the Europeans, our ancestors, they were intellectually strong, our Muslim should
be spiritually strong, he or she should be intellectually strong. He or she should strive to be
financially strong, and the actual urine earlier Pyromania, the souffle, the upper hand that gives
is better than the lower hand that receives and again, there's good in both, we should strive to be
		
00:33:13 --> 00:34:04
			fiscally and financially strong. Some people asked me Should I go study and there, they have an MBA
and they're making loads of money? No, we have many people can go who can go study, but we don't
have many people with the potential to be a multi millionaire or billionaire. We need some of those.
The Prophet sallallahu wasallam he had his poor companions, mela, mercy be on all of them. And he
prayed to be resurrected amongst them. But he also had Abu bakkar and he had Khadija and he had
Earth men and he had up there and then off and he had Abu Zubaydah. He had people who have money
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, because just as people are spending billions of dollars to turn people
		
00:34:04 --> 00:34:25
			away from Islam, we shouldn't be spending millions. We don't need billions. Because every dollar we
spend and has a net, we actually I'm fairly happy. It does the work of 10 and a 17. year there, it
does the work of 700 and I'd often kathira it does the work of 7000 70,000. But we need money.
		
00:34:26 --> 00:34:27
			We need money.
		
00:34:28 --> 00:34:32
			And we should have some financially strong believers.
		
00:34:34 --> 00:34:38
			And we should have poor believers that's a human society.
		
00:34:40 --> 00:34:45
			And they should be brothers and sisters. That should be assisting and helping each other.
		
00:34:47 --> 00:34:54
			Allah Allah Marion Farooq, seek and strive for that which benefits you.
		
00:34:55 --> 00:34:59
			Brothers and sisters tried to begin to build yourself up spiritually
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:08

00:35:14 --> 00:35:32

up intellectually. If you don't have a high school diploma, go back to school and get one. Join a
GED program. Get a tutor.
		
00:35:34 --> 00:36:22
			If you have a high school diploma, go and get a call, go to the community college, get an
associate's, if you have an associate's, go get a bachelor's, if you have a bachelor's, get a
Masters, if you have a master's in your situation allows go get a PhD, not so you can say I have a
PhD. But so you can stand toe to toe with the people who have PhDs and are using it against the good
interests of the common person. And you can refill and you can debate and you can discuss and you
can make your point at the same level he or she are making their point. Try to be financially
strong. Don't spend your money. You don't have to be rich to be financially strong. You have to act
		
00:36:22 --> 00:36:26
			like a Muslim. Don't shop until you drop.
		
00:36:28 --> 00:36:40
			Don't shop until you drop shop when you need something. Not when an artificial need has been created
in you. Don't engage in alcohol and drugs.
		
00:36:41 --> 00:36:50
			Some Muslims do unfortunately. don't engage in alcohol and drugs don't spend your money buying the
music you don't need it.
		
00:36:51 --> 00:37:04
			If you heard one song You heard him on Boogie Woogie slap this song so upside ahead deeper in the
street like she's dead. This in every word I said
		
00:37:07 --> 00:37:08
			you don't need it.
		
00:37:10 --> 00:37:19
			Don't spend your money on it. And you can be making minimum wage and you have a surplus and you'll
be able to assist somebody
		
00:37:21 --> 00:37:56
			and there are people who have seen it there are Muslims making minimum wage they have relatives who
aren't might not be Muslims so they're they're making three four times what they make but after they
buy their alcohol and after their by their little stash of reefer and after they go to the club on
Saturday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday night they come into the Muslim making minimum wage, you know
can I need a little help this month? I need a little help with the rent My car broke I need
something. You don't have to be rich, to be financially strong.
		
00:37:57 --> 00:38:43
			If you are rich all the better. Now lord bless us May Allah bless you may Allah bless you ma'am.

00:40:02 --> 00:40:57
			The nefarious actions of the likes of ISIS or others who are distorting true Islamic teachings, we
should never lose sight of the fact that is the disastrous, militaristic foreign policy of our
country that has made all of this fitna possible. That is torn up the social fabric of these
countries, flooded them with weapons, and then finds any excuse to keep these cycles of violence and
chaos and anarchy going. And the only one that benefits are the people making the weapons. As they
say, war is bad for business unless you're in the business of war. And we have too many people in
this country who are in the business of war. And we have to be the community that stands up and
		
00:40:57 --> 00:41:00
			says, it's time for the business to shut down.
		
00:41:02 --> 00:41:06
			It's time for the business to shut down. If this is a Christian nation,
		
00:41:07 --> 00:41:26
			as they allege them, beat the swords into plowshares beat the shorts in the power shares. Go in the
world and bring peace to the world go around the world and build homes for the homeless, go in the
world and fight the likes of Ebola and other scourges.
		
00:41:28 --> 00:41:44
			But someone that has to be a force, not not a few individuals, there has to be the force of a
community who will say our community will take up the unfinished business of Dr. King.
		
00:41:46 --> 00:41:56
			Dr. King, he said there are three evil triplets, and they're connected at the hip. He didn't say
that. He said something like that.
		
00:41:58 --> 00:42:06
			He said the three evil triplets I saying? I'm saying they're connected at the hip, racism, poverty
and militarism,
		
00:42:08 --> 00:42:11
			racism, poverty, and militarism.
		
00:42:13 --> 00:42:25
			We as a community, have to stand up and say we are a community that will do everything in our power,
to challenge racism that starts with our hearts.
		
00:42:26 --> 00:42:30
			That starts with our hearts, that any human being
		
00:42:31 --> 00:42:47
			that I come into contact with, I will judge based on the content of the character, not the color of
their skin. This is what our Prophet taught us. sallallahu alayhi wa sallam but we know how deep the
roots of racism is amongst the Muslims.
		
00:42:49 --> 00:42:53
			There are deep roots. We have to each and every one of us.
		
00:42:54 --> 00:42:58
			cut those roots off starting with ourselves.
		
00:43:00 --> 00:43:20
			In the law, hella young voters jambu illa, Swati Kumar, where am where they come a lot doesn't look
at your physical forms and your wealth. Well, I can yanbu Allahu looby Kumar madico. He looks at
your deeds and he looks at your hearts. The deeds have no color, and all the hearts are red.
		
00:43:23 --> 00:43:26
			That's what a lot looks at. We have to challenge poverty.
		
00:43:28 --> 00:43:30
			We have to be a community that feeds people.
		
00:43:31 --> 00:44:01
			We have to be a community that tries to the best of our resources, to lift people out of poverty
will follow the ever programs we can put together to assist people but most importantly, we have to
be a community that gives a person a vision and a motivation to live a righteous life. Because once
a person is motivated, you can dump all the money in the world on a person who isn't motivated to
live.
		
00:44:03 --> 00:44:08
			And that person will stay in poverty. You give them money though squander the money.
		
00:44:10 --> 00:44:23
			No, we have to begin our anti poverty programming by addressing the poverty that's in the hearts and
in the souls so that people want to be dignified and want to stand on their own feet.
		
00:44:24 --> 00:44:28
			And we have to address militarism is a difficult task.
		
00:44:30 --> 00:44:37
			We mentioned Dr. King when he started addressing American militarism. Some say that's when he signed
his death warrant.
		
00:44:38 --> 00:44:41
			You can sing We Shall Overcome until the cows come home.
		
00:44:43 --> 00:44:46
			But when you start messing with the foreign policy
		
00:44:48 --> 00:44:50
			and the foundation of the Empire
		
00:44:51 --> 00:45:00
			and the the mechanisms whereby people are intimidated and bludgeoned to become part of the whole new
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:05
			Rule neoliberal scheme of things, then is dangerous.
		
00:45:07 --> 00:45:34
			But if that's the work a lot Tyler causes us to do. That's the work he causes us to do. mela blesses
to be strong and all regards malata Allah bless us to be a community that will take up that work.
Wherever the old generation is, has failed. The new generation come with more energy with more
vision, with more higher levels of education and commitment. Take the torch, take the torch.
		
00:45:35 --> 00:45:37
			And then you you take it a step further.
		
00:45:40 --> 00:45:43
			And the ones after you but keep
		
00:45:44 --> 00:46:37

all people on this planet living free lives braided from the shackles of economic or political
* keep those flames burning. And you never know when Allah subhanho wa Taala might bring
along some gasoline to pour on the fire. That's a metaphor folks. I'm not advocating burning
