00:00:18 --> 00:00:21
			I welcome all the viewers with Islam greetings.
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:23
			Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:24
			Barakatuhu.
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:26
			This is a special
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:28
			and an important
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:30
			and urgent message
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:34
			for my dear brothers and sisters of Bangladesh.
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:38
			Firstly, I'd like to congratulate you that hardly
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:39
			2 days ago
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:44
			today is 7th August. 2 days ago, on
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46
			Monday, 5th August, you
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48
			got freedom
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:50
			from an unjust regime.
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:53
			And I'd given a message
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:56
			more than 2 weeks ago on 20th July
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
			when I started receiving messages on my social
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:01
			media, and the Bangladesh around me started speaking
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:03
			about it. And as you may be aware
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:04
			that
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:06
			on my social media, the maximum following I
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:07
			have is from Bangladesh.
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:11
			On my Facebook alone, out of 23,900,000
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:13
			followers, more than 25%,
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:17
			more than 6,000,000 followers are from Bangladesh alone.
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:20
			It has the largest following in any country
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22
			in the world. It has more following than
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:23
			India
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:26
			and Pakistan put together. In India, I have
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:28
			about 3,000,000 followers. In Pakistan, I have 3,000,000
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:31
			followers. But Bangladesh alone has more than 6,000,000
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:32
			followers.
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:36
			That's the reason it becomes my moral duty
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:38
			and also an Islamic duty to give a
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:42
			suggestion and advice to my dear brothers and
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:42
			sisters of Bangladesh.
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:46
			On 20th July, more than 2 weeks ago,
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:47
			when dozens
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49
			of students had been killed
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:50
			in the protest
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:53
			that was started by the students against the
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:53
			unjust
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:56
			30% quota reservation. And I
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:58
			appreciated
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:01
			the efforts of the students, and I told
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:04
			them that dozens of students had been killed.
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:06
			And Insha'Allah, they are martyrs, they are shahid,
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08
			and Allah will give them their.
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:10
			I also give advice to the officials of
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:11
			Bangladesh
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:13
			that they should let
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:16
			justice prevail, let peace prevail, and they should
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:17
			handle
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:18
			the situation with wisdom
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:20
			and with Hikma.
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:21
			But, unfortunately,
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:24
			the officials of Bangladesh did not heed my
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			advice, and they retaliated
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:28
			and they increased the atrocities
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:29
			against the students.
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:32
			So much so that on Sunday alone, on
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:35
			4th August, more than 100 people were killed
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:37
			by the unjust regime
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:40
			just 3 years ago. And the total
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:44
			officially had reached to more than 300 people
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:46
			had been killed. And the unofficial
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:49
			report said more than 1,000. Some reports said
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:51
			1,000 had been killed.
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:53
			And because of this,
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:54
			the protest intensified.
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:57
			And on 5th August, 2 days ago, 100
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:58
			of 1000 of Bangladeshis,
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:01
			they marched in Dhaka, and they went to
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:04
			the residence of the previous prime minister, Hasina,
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:06
			so much so that the previous prime minister
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:07
			who was a dictator,
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:11
			Hasina, had to resign and flee the country.
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:12
			And Allah gave victory
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:13
			to
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:14
			the students
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:15
			and
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:17
			the peaceful protesters.
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:19
			And
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:20
			I would like
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:23
			to remind you that even after
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:26
			the freedom was achieved,
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:26
			yet
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:29
			we are receiving news that there is arson,
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:30
			there is vandalism,
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:33
			that the houses and the shops
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:36
			of the support of Hasina are being touched.
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:38
			They are being looted.
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:39
			And today
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:41
			morning and even yesterday,
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:42
			I received information
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:46
			that some of the Hindus have been attacked.
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:49
			I also received information that the temple was
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:50
			attacked.
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:52
			I'm not aware how many Hindus have been
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:53
			attacked, but my request
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:56
			to my dear brothers and sisters,
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:59
			the Muslim brothers and sisters of Bangladesh,
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:00
			please
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:03
			do not attack any Hindu.
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:05
			Do not attack a single non Muslim.
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:08
			Do not burn the houses of the Hindus
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:09
			or the non Muslims.
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:13
			Please do not attack a single temple. Do
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:16
			not burn or attack any non Muslim places
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:19
			of worship. We as Muslims, we should be
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:20
			an example
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:22
			to the world
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:26
			and let not any Muslim misguide you that
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:28
			attacking a Hindu is good or attacking a
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:30
			non Muslim is good, attacking a place of
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:33
			worship is good. Please don't let any Muslim
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:35
			misguide you. And regarding the conditions,
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:38
			what should be done, whether attacking or pace
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:41
			of worship is permitted or not, I've given
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:44
			a detailed answer on my video on Hagia
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:47
			Sophia. And there I said that when there
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:49
			is a war where a Muslim army goes
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:50
			and there is a war and when there
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:52
			is a jihad, and at that time
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:53
			depends
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:56
			upon the leader to make a decision. If
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:59
			that place of non Muslim worship is creating
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:02
			a fitna, is misguidling the Muslims, Then if
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:04
			they're destroyed, it's permitted. But generally, we have
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:08
			seen many occasions where the Khul Farasuddin, Bahadur
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:10
			Tumal Mahlah be pleases him. He told the
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:13
			Sabas that don't attack the place of worship.
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:15
			It depends upon the situation. On the other
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:18
			extreme, if a non Muslim has taken protection
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:19
			in a Muslim leadership
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:22
			or a Muslim regime, it becomes a duty
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:24
			of the Muslim leader and the Muslims
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:25
			to protect
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:28
			the lives of the non Muslims. Not only
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:31
			protect the life, even protect their property.
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:32
			Today in Bangladesh,
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:36
			we don't have either of this situation. We
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:37
			don't have a war taking place.
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:39
			Neither do we have,
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:42
			non Muslim taking protection in the Muslim regime.
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:46
			But my advice to my dear Muslim brothers
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:48
			and sisters of Bangladesh, my advice to you
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:50
			in this situation is see to it that
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:53
			you do not attack a single Hindu, a
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:54
			single non Muslim.
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:56
			Do not burn the house of a single
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:59
			Hindu or a single non Muslim. See to
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:01
			it you do not attack a single temple.
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:03
			See to it you do not burn a
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:06
			single temple. Do not attack or burn any
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:08
			non Muslim place of worship. In fact, see
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:10
			to it that you protect the non Muslims.
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:13
			You protect the places of worship of the
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:14
			non Muslims. I request
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:17
			the students of Bangladesh
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:18
			and the Muslims
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:20
			of Bangladesh,
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:23
			please don't take law in your hand. If
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:25
			you find that there's any person doing injustice,
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:28
			if you find any non Muslim doing injustice,
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:30
			see to it that let peace prevail in
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:32
			the country first and later on you can
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:34
			take them to the laws and authorities and
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:36
			see to it that they are brought to
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:39
			justice. But now at this moment, please stop
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:39
			vandalizing.
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:42
			Please stop attacking and destroying the properties of
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:45
			the people. In Islam, we have to protect
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:47
			our neighbors irrespective if they are Muslim or
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:48
			non Muslim.
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:50
			See to it that all the Muslims in
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:50
			Bangladesh.
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:54
			If you find any non Muslim, any Hindu
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:56
			living in your locality, see to it that
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:58
			they're secure. If anyone goes and attacks them,
		
00:06:58 --> 00:06:59
			you should protect them.
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:01
			I would like to request
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:04
			the student's body who started this wonderful movement
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:06
			against the Andres quota
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:09
			that was launched by the government, which also
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:11
			went to the extent of toppling
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:14
			the unjust regime. My request to you is
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:16
			see to it that you form
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:17
			another subcommittee
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:20
			in your student body that sees to it
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:22
			that they place some students
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:23
			outside
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:24
			the temples,
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:25
			outside
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:29
			the non Muslim places of worship. See to
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:31
			it that if anyone, whether Muslim or non
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:33
			Muslim, tries to attack
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:36
			these places of worship, secret that they should
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:36
			protect.
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:39
			Let the world come to know that this
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:41
			is how the Muslims behave. Like how at
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:43
			the time of Fulfara Shirding, at the time
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:46
			of father Umar, the non Muslim was so
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:49
			happy and so peaceful. They wanted to live
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:50
			under the leadership
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:52
			of an Islamic ruler. See to it that
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:53
			you are examples.
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:56
			Please don't let someone misguide you.
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:58
			And Allah has helped you now. I would
		
00:07:58 --> 00:07:59
			like to congratulate
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:02
			the students, the youth of Bangladesh, that because
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:03
			of you,
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:05
			now there is freedom
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:07
			for all the Bangladeshis
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:10
			against the unjust previous regime, against
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:13
			the previous dictator, Prime Minister Hasina.
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:16
			Allah, I'll help you. But let me remind
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:19
			you, what you have got is only victory
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:21
			in the first stage of the battle
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:24
			that the previous regime has been toppled. But
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:25
			now
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:28
			your real battle starts. See to it that
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:29
			peace is restored in Bangladesh.
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:31
			See to it that Bangladesh
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:33
			has a just
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:36
			regime. See to it that you follow the
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:39
			Quran and say hadith. You follow the teachings
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:41
			of Allah and the beloved prophet.
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:43
			See to it that you are good exemplary
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:46
			Muslims, not only to the people of Bangladesh,
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:48
			but even the people of the world. And
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:49
			I pray to Allah that
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:53
			may the problems of Bangladesh be solved. May
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:55
			the problem of unemployment may be solved. May
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:57
			the economy be restored. May the justice be
		
00:08:57 --> 00:08:59
			restored. May the peace be restored. And I
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:00
			have high hopes
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:03
			that the students have started this movement. Please
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:05
			don't let it die in between. We have
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:07
			just won the first stage of the battle.
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:09
			See to it that the peace is restored.
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:11
			See to it no non Muslim, no Hindu
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:13
			attack. See to it that you protect the
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:15
			houses and the places of worship of the
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:16
			Hindus.
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:19
			And since the last 3 weeks, since we
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:21
			came to know that this problem has started
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:24
			in Bangladesh, my son who usually often
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:26
			leads the salah in the mosque where we
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:29
			pray, where we are praying for months together,
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:31
			5 times a day. We are reading the
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:34
			qunun in every salah and praying for our
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:37
			brothers and sisters in Palestine. Since the last
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:40
			3 weeks, my son has even started including
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:41
			Bangladesh
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:43
			and the people of Bangladesh in the prayers.
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:46
			And Insha'Allah, peace will be restored.
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:49
			And I pray that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:53
			helps all my brothers and sisters in Bangladesh.
