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