We welcome all the brothers and sisters,
who are joining us, today for our 2nd
day of the
AIM conference.
And we ask
to make it a benefit to all of
us and to bless all those who made
it out in person, those who are joining
us live, and to make this on the
show of good deeds.
Of course, since our first session is is
with our,
beloved,
doctor Zakir Naik,
who who does not need any,
introduction.
All
the that he has done over the years
even
before I was born. So
to reward him tremendously and make it on
his field of good deeds
and to, bring him
sincerity and accept for him.
Without further delay,
we'd like, to introduce, doctor Zakim Nye, to
begin.
So,
I have to begin
I welcome all of you, my dear brothers
and sisters,
and my dear viewers
from all over the world,
I'd like to welcome you with the Islamic
greetings.
That is,
from New Jersey,
who's organizing this conference.
Jerusalem,
falsehood and
truth.
And
it's a pleasure to be
invited
to this program
to this conference of
Jerusalem,
the arena
of truth and falsehood.
And before I
start my speech, I would like to know
I would like to inform the people that,
normally, I don't
attend online function because
of my schedule, and I prefer giving on-site,
which is more effective.
But since the organizer requested,
it's my pleasure to come here. And the
second point is that, normally,
the technical parts of the online do not
normally unless the the
the people are technically very, very qualified,
the recording
and and the transmission is not very good.
And since I'm traveling at present, I'm in
Kuwait. If I'm there back home, that is
Malaysia,
we have our own studio, we have our
own camera, we have our own equipment.
The steaming is much better, and the quality
of the camera, the better, which you can
sit on the studio. And we also have
specialized equipment. We have our own box clusters,
which normally most of the Islamic organization don't
have. So because of this,
I normally don't attend online function, but it's
a very good cause. So it's my pleasure
to be in this conference of 3 days
from 24th to 26th May.
On the topic, the arena of truth and
false.
As many people may be aware
that generally when
I'm at home in Malaysia,
I handle
an open question after session
on the PEACE TV, as well as all
on my social media platform, the Facebook,
the YouTube, the Instagram, etcetera.
And the session is called as ask doctor
Zakir.
And every week, we
receive more than 20,000 questions
from all over the world.
And in the last
few months,
the most common question that was asked to
me and when we receive the 20,000 question,
it is filtered by my team,
and they may not be able to read
all the questions.
But how how many thousands they can read,
they select and give me 100.
Out of these 100, normally, I select about
20 to be replied in each session sometime.
15 sometime. 20 sometime. 25.
And one of the most common question that
has been asked in these last few months
was
that
if Allah
is all powerful, then why doesn't he let
the Palestinians,
the people of Gaza win this recent war,
which is going on for more than 7
months. That why the
Palestinians
win against Israel.
And I will start this topic of mine
with giving the reply to this question, and
then
go ahead.
For Allah, if he wants, if Allah wills
for him to make the Palestinians
win
against Israel, it's.
He can do it in a day's time.
He can do it within a hour's time,
in few minutes. For him, it's very easy.
But Allah has his own plant. As Allah
says in the Quran,
in Surah Imran chapter 3 verse 54,
that they planned and plotted a lot of
plans. Allah also said in the Quran,
That they planned and plotted, Allah to plan.
Allah is the best of plan. So
Allah has his own plan. Then we know
that this
the atrocities that the Israelis are doing on
our brothers and sisters in Palestine
is continuing for more than 75 years,
from 1948,
now it's
2,024.
For more than 75 years,
these atrocities are continuing.
And
we know
that as far as the non Muslim world
is concerned,
especially
the especially the western world,
we find that majority,
maybe
more than 80 or 90%, were always in
the favor of Israel.
And
the western world, the media,
they used to
call the Palestinians, the people of Gaza, as
terrorist.
And this was the stereotype that you find
on the international media.
But
since this attack took place
on 7th
October
2023,
Now more than 7 and a half months
have passed.
More than 230 days
have passed,
and we know
that
more than 40,000
Palestinians,
innocent Palestinians, have been killed, out of which
2 third were women and children.
This is nothing but
a genocide.
But the point to be noted that this
is the first genocide
in the history of humanity
which is being
telecast live
on the social media,
on satellite channels.
All the previous genocide that took place earlier,
maybe we came to know about it.
Sometime tens of years later, decades later, sometimes
months later,
sometime weeks later. Maybe we saw some photographs
later on. But this is the first genocide
in this to have humankind,
which is being telecast live,
especially on the social media.
Even though the international social media is trying
to boycott it, but we find that yet
it is reaching
most parts of the world.
And
by
the mainstream channel,
The mainstream satellite channels, though, are trying to
avoid it, but we have satellite channels like
Al Jazeera and other satellite channels, which are
yet showing it. So we are watching
life, the genocide,
the thousands of innocent
women,
children, and men being killed in Palestine,
especially in Gaza.
Regarding the question
that why is Allah
not
letting the Palestinians win? If he wants, he
can do it. As I said, Allah had
his own plan. Allah wants the world. That's
what I feel. Allah wants the world to
know the reality.
So it is after 75 years
that now we find that the world is
seeing the reality
of Israel
and the Zionist agenda.
So much so that
if you're taking a poll
before 7th October,
especially in the western countries among the non
Muslim,
more than 90% would have favored Israel.
But today,
or maybe after 4 months, today after 7
months,
there were several polls that were conducted.
And all the polls
amongst the non Muslims,
including the western countries,
says that more than 80%
of the non Muslims
of the western country,
the common masses, they are in favor of
Palestine.
Some post 85%, some say 90, some say
more than 90.
But all the posts conducted
say that more than 80%
of
the human beings in the world,
and especially speaking about the non Muslims,
they
are on the side of Palestine
and against
the atrocity
that is happening
in Gaza.
And they've come to know the reality
of Israel
and the agenda
that in the name of
truth, in the name of peace,
we find that they are killing innocent people.
They're targeting innocent people, innocent children,
innocent women.
They're targeting hospitals.
They are
targeting schools.
They are targeting
the shelters.
They are bombarding
civilian buildings,
and they're almost destroyed
more than half
or 2 third of Gaza.
They have an agenda,
yet we find
that the governments of most of the foreign
countries
of the western country, whether it be USA,
whether it be UK, they
are supporting
Israel
hands
down. Even after seeing the
the atrocity because most of these government are
supported
by these Zionists, and they have an agenda.
But,
the best of,
we find that there are protests
in different parts of the world.
And now we find
that there are protests in the western country,
whether it be USA, whether it be UK,
whether it be European countries.
We find protests in large numbers, and majority
people who are taking part in the protest
are not Muslims. The Muslims may be in
a minority, maybe 10% sometime, 15, 20. They're
in a minority.
And we find that they are protesting against
the atrocities
done
on the citizens
of Gaza, the people of Gaza.
And
we find the injustice
by these non Muslim governments, especially in in
you find in USA that when the students
are coming out and protesting large numbers, they
are trying to arrest them. They are trying
to demotivate them. They are saying to it
that they want to break
this protest, but
may Allah's grace, it's increasing in larger number.
So this is Allah's plan.
And we find
that
approximately
as per the news, about 40,000
innocent
people of Gaza have been killed. But multiple
times more number
of non Muslims,
especially Westerners,
have accepted Islam in large numbers. They're wondering
what type of faith
are the people of Gaza following
that we find
that the mother,
her child
has been killed,
and she just say,
and she said that my son has been
martyred.
And she said that even if I had
5 more children, I would sacrifice in the
way of Allah
The non Muslims are wondering what type of
religion is this, when they are finding
that the Muslims,
they are being tortured. They are being injured.
Their limbs are being amputated.
Yet,
instead of complaining, they are breathing Allah
They are very happy.
They are happy that they are fighting for
a just cause.
And they wonder what type of faith is
this, that even though their homes are being
destroyed,
yet they don't want to leave the country.
They want to leave the land. They say
that we will live
here in Palestine,
and we'll die in Palestine. They want to
know what kind of faith are they following,
and they want to have a taste of
it so much so that we find that
hundreds of thousands
of non Muslim that started reading the Quran.
They have started doing research on the Google
about the religion of Islam, which has led
to a large number, tens of 1,000, multiple
times more number of people that have been
killed in Gaza,
that
these non Muslims have accepted Islam.
And now they are supporting
the cause.
So Allah
has its own agenda.
Allah
is testing
the people,
not only the people of Gaza,
as far as the people of Gaza are
concerned.
Alhamdulillah,
Summa, Alhamdulillah,
almost all of them,
they have passed with flying colors.
And, surely,
all those who have been martyred,
they will get.
They'll hear the highest levels of jannah. And
all those people who are bearing all the
atrocities
and yet are steadfast,
and yet pray to
Allah Yet pray to Allah
They will surely be rewarded. This one as
well as Nakhm.
This is a test,
not only for the people of Gaza.
It is a test for the Muslims all
over the world.
Allah wants to know that what are we
Muslims doing?
We are seeing this light.
It's not a hearsay. We can see the
live telecast of this genocide
on the social media that children are being
killed. You can see the blood around them.
You can see 100 and 1,000
being butchered.
And we find every day
tens and hundreds of Palestinians being killed
like sitting ducks.
What are we Muslims doing?
It's a test for all of us.
And
this question also was asked by me. What
should new Muslims do?
In this situation, what should we do? What
can we do?
Besides, what can we do? And a few
months earlier,
I'd give the talk
on the topic,
the 15 points
action plan
for the Muslim Ummah
regarding the call of Palestine.
And
in this speech of mine, I'll enumerate these
points.
And these 15 points that I've said in
my speech,
15 points action plan for the Muslim Ummah
for the cause of Palestine.
The first seven points which I'll be mentioning,
it can
be done by each and every Muslim,
irrespective whether he's rich or poor, whether he's
living in USA or Canada or America or
India or Pakistan or Saudi or Kuwait, whichever
part of the world he's living in. The
first seven point, any Muslim can do. It's
very easy.
As far as the last eight points are
concerned,
only those Muslims who Allah
have given the facility, have given the niyama,
have given the ability can do, all cannot
do.
But the first seven, of course,
all the Muslims can do.
As soon as the time is limited,
and we already started late, and the organizers
told me that they should also be a
question after session. I'll enumerate
these 15 points,
and then we'll have a question after session
at the end of my speech.
The first point
that every Muslim can do and the least
that any Muslim can do is and we
all
know that
we can pray
for our Palestinian
brothers and
sisters.
We can pray for those people who have
been killed, that may Allah
grant them to those. We can pray to
Allah
to give steadfastness
to the people of Palestine.
May He give them sabr.
May He raise the ranks high. Let
them be
steadfast,
and let them
give
give them the strength
to bear these atrocities. Even though we may
not have
that level, we pray for our brothers and
sisters in Palestine
And
and we pray to Allah
that may be successful. May they be successful
in this journey.
And give them victory
that what they are doing actually
is for the because
Jerusalem,
the land which has Masjid Afza.
The 3rd holiest
place
in Islam for the Muslims is Masjid Afza.
And if
our Palestinian
brothers and sisters
would not have
been doing the struggle, what they've been doing
for the past 75 years. It would have
been fought on every Muslim
to see to it that he goes and
protects
the 3rd holiest
site. So because our brothers and sisters in
Palestine,
especially in Gaza,
they,
seem to that they
are trying their level best to protect
the 3rd holiest site of Islam.
They are doing for the on.
Otherwise, it would have been fraud for our
Muslims.
Irrespective with your part
of the world you are living in, it's
our duty to protect
Masid Aksha. So they are we they can
fire for us.
The least we can do for them
is we pay for them,
And we pay for the best in this
world
as well.
And the best time that we can pray
for them is during Tahjal,
in the last one third
of the night, where Allah says that Allah
comes down on the lower heaven.
And there's an r in the last one
third, where he asks the people,
are there any servants of mine
want to ask? And I will
answer the prayer.
So the least we can do is pray
for them at least
in tahajjud.
In the last 1, 3rd night in the
sujood,
because
there are some scholars who say that you
cannot say that they have tried everything unless
you have prayed for that thing
in the last month of night in sujood
in your tajjus salah in Kamalal.
And
I'm aware
that
maybe majority of the Muslims may not be
getting up in the last month or time
before the fajr salah to pray
in tajjud.
Maybe this will be an excuse for you.
This may be
initiative for you that if you do something
for your brother and sister in Gaza, at
least to start paying now.
And at least pray in the last 1
third of night for a brother and sister
in your.
You can start initially maybe 10, 15 minutes.
You can increase it
to half an hour, then maybe 45 minutes,
then 1 hour.
As the beloved prophet said, the least you
can do is
play 10 verses, then you are not a
ghafil. You are not a ignorant person. If
you play 100 verses,
then you are on a team. And if
you pay a 1,000 verses, it's.
That's the highest.
And to put 1,000 verses, the minimum you
can read is the last 2 * of
the Quran. That is
29 and 30 pages. An additional
few verses because it comes approximately
close to 996
verses. So you can read
maybe another few verses from any other, or
you can repeat 1
maybe a 1 or 2 of the
2 or 3 of them to be safe
that we have recited more than a 1000.
But at least that.
Start playing.
Inshallah, it will be a habit in your
life. And not only it will be beneficial
to the people of Gaza, it will be
beneficial for you in your life. Though,
being
is not a it was for the prophet.
That is the Tajir salah, but it is
one of it is
the most important sunnah after the Faras.
So the first point that any Muslim can
do, every Muslim can do, whether rich or
poor, whether it's a king or a popper,
whether it's a busy person, or doesn't have
work, is to pray for Allah, for pay
for the people of Palestine. And the best
is to pay in the last one third
of that incitement.
Or you can selectively choose
the time where the prophet asked you to
pray,
and
one of them is in the 1 hour
on Friday
after Assar, where Allah hears the prayer. It
can be
during
the,
Yomru Arafa, which is a very important time
to pray. It can be during
the last 10 days of Ramadan, in which
last 10 nights of Ramadan,
where one night is.
It's equal to a 1000 years.
It's like, you know, it's it's
it's equal to more than 1000 months, which
is more than 80 years.
So all these are selective.
These
are those parts of the time of the
day or the week of the year
where Allah hears the dua, and maybe the
first 10 days of religion.
And especially
on these occasions,
we can also pray
during
our normal salah.
In the normal salah that you have, you
can play Duaikhunut when there is a calamity.
It was the practice of the prophet that
he did Duikonut,
not only in Fajr, but can be put
in Zohar, and Asar, Maghrib Isha,
and Malaysia where I normally live, and even
Kuwait where at present time.
Most of the time most of the most,
during the fight in Salah, they did Duaykhanud
even in Zohran al Sur Salah. In the
last rakat,
after ruku, they get up and they pray
for
nooma, especially the people of Gaza.
Give them saber, give them victory, guard them.
So the least a Muslim can do is
pray for
the people
of Palestine.
Number 2,
it's the duty of every Muslim
that he should make
it common and make the truth aware of
what happened in Jerusalem.
The topic of Jerusalem, the arena
of truth and falsehood,
It's the duty of the Muslims to let
the truth of
Jerusalem be known to the world.
And today, the age of technology, it has
become a global village.
And most of the human beings, a majority
of them, almost all,
are there on certain media there, especially the
social media, whether it be the Facebook,
whether it's YouTube, whether it be the WhatsApp,
whether it be the Instagram,
whether it be the TikTok,
most of the
human beings,
They are on social media to see to
it that you make the reality known to
the world. The atrocity
the atrocity that the Jews
doing the word Jew is wrong,
because we find that in the protest against
the genocide that's happening in
Gaza,
there are many Jews,
the Orthodox
Jews, who are supporting the cause and they're
supporting Palestine,
and they're against Israel. So the right word
would be science,
because
to say it
that the Jews are doing the atrocity,
it would be wrong because I'm a student
of comparative religion. Nowhere does Judaism say that
this
genocide should be done. Nowhere does the bible
say that. Yes. These Zionists are picking up
certain verses in the bible and coding out
of context and trying to tell to the
community that what they're doing is something holy,
which is totally wrong.
Nor does Judaism or nor does the Bible
say that you should commit
such atrocities.
So the right word is Zionist
to expose the agenda
of the Zionist.
Use your social media.
You know, previously is unlimited.
We used to write letters, then came faxes,
then came email. But now the social media,
it'll become a global village. See to it
that you expose
as much as you can, and let your
circle, whatever reach you have, whether you may
have a few followers,
maybe tens of followers, a 100 of followers,
some may have 1,000, some may have 10,000,
some may have 100 of 1000, some may
have millions.
So see to it that you make your
followers aware
of the atrocities that the Zionists are doing
in Gaza.
The third
point
or third action point is
that
when you say something personal,
on a personal level,
one to 1, it's more it's more effective
than sending an email or sending on the
social media or informing,
you know,
on a different way. Personal one to 1,
whether it be direct one to 1 or
direct phone call, is a much better impact
than just on the social media. So I
request every Muslim
that you take out the contactees, whether from
your mobile or from your computer,
and point out which 10 people in your
list are the most important VIP on your
list.
Maybe Allah has given you the niyama that
you may be knowing.
The king of the country, or you may
be knowing the amir of the country, or
you may be aware you may be knowing
the prime minister or the president. If not,
you may be knowing some ministers, some cabinet
ministers, some politicians.
Or even if you if you are top
ten, maybe your maybe your school principal. No
problem. It may be your teacher.
It may be the secretary general in your
apartment,
in in in the society you're living.
Whoever they are,
you have to note down who are the
10
most important
VIP.
Will you consider them to be influential
and see to it, you convey this message
on one to one basis.
And I remember
that my wife,
she's,
she's a very good guy, maybe better than
me. She always I mean, she's a.
She always guide me. She says, you know,
Zakir, what are you doing for Palestine? You
know, what are you doing? What is this
person? Only giving talks. You should do something.
And I remember
that even the last time, more than a
year back, and even this time, when they
started 7th October, she coached me.
And and but now she's my wife, and,
she's my.
So I had to take out my list,
and Allah had given,
blessed me that in my VIP list, of
course, I didn't restrict myself to 10.
My list of
has helped me to be in touch with
various heads of states
of the Muslim world, of non Muslim world,
various politicians,
people of influence.
So I did that, and I
personally
I give a personal message
to them, to a large number, and few
of them I called.
And we had good result.
You could sign that immediately later than you
know, what I'll be speaking in my talk.
We'll find some of them did some of
the point number, maybe 10, point number 11.
And we found that immediately,
there are many countries that gave
a notice
and acted.
So
when you personally
inform and go on one to one basis
and,
of course, I cannot expose everything what I
did. It's for sake of Allah, not for
the knowledge. But we met
many heads of states on one to one
basis, and we discussed this issue. And we
were able to solve some of the small
problem that we're here and there. And Allah
blessed
that
Allah has blessed that in this last
last 7 months, we did meet many of
the other states.
And we could do what we could do
in our ability capacity. You know, I'm already,
a very small person with a with a
with humble
humble background. But Allah blessed me being a
stammerer.
I could not speak in front of 20
I could not attempt of speaking in front
of 25 people. Allah bless me that, you
know, Allah has put love in the hearts
of the people
that they come to listen to this camera,
you know, in large numbers.
So
when you do something on a personal level,
and
if Allah has put your love,
the love for you in the hearts
of the Muslims and the non Muslims, what
are you doing?
If you don't utilize
to the benefit, Allah will question you on
the day of judgement.
And my wife,
she's the most. She always,
keeps on prodding
or
for encouraging me, saying that what they are
doing is not sufficient.
And and may Allah bless her.
Will give her equal
for
all the activities they're doing, especially for the
cause of Palestine.
So the third
point is that in your list of 10
most important people, jot it down and inform
them on one to one list.
Point number 4,
see to that to make this more aware.
If you're a student in your school,
in your colleges,
in your university,
if you're working somewhere in your workplaces,
mention on the notice board, you can give
flyers.
You can
do place in your school, university. You can
do street place, and the list is long.
You can put holdings
in your school, in your colleges,
in your 5th place, and make
the people aware of what's happened in Jew
Jerusalem.
Let the people be aware of Jerusalem,
the arena
of truth and falsehood.
Let them
know what's happening so that
they
are
they know the truth,
and
see to it,
you are able to convey the
truth, what's happening.
Point number 5,
that
see to it
that you make a protest
against atrocity
done by Israel,
by the army of Israel and the people
of Gaza.
And, Alhamdulillah,
most of the countries throughout the world with
the Muslim unarmed nations.
If not all, most of the countries
had protest.
And you could find that even
though most of the country or almost all
the countries,
there are very few countries which did where
the government took part, and one of them
is Marshall Malaysia. And I'm proud of my
country, Malaysia, where I'm based now. And it
Hijra from India to Malaysia,
where it was organized
by the government itself, the protest.
Most of the protests, including
in the Muslim country very few Muslim countries,
you find the government to part. But the
masses were there, whether Muslim or non Muslim.
They came out in large numbers.
See to it that they take part in
the protest.
See to it that the protest is peaceful.
See to it, it doesn't get violent.
See to it that you don't damage the
properties
of of the country,
see to it that you don't
harm the vehicles, which is done otherwise
in the political protest or other protest. It
should be a peaceful protest
to show
to the world that you are in solidarity
with the people of Qasa.
And the larger the number,
the bigger would be the impact.
And we find
that, unfortunately,
most
of the countries, including the Muslim countries,
they don't encourage protest.
Most of them, and we'll have to count
on your fingertips,
the government. And one of them, as I
said,
is
that protest
is encouraged,
and it's organized by the government itself.
And
there's a competition between the opposition
and the ruling
party who is supporting Palestine more.
So the opposition takes out a protest. The
ruling party takes out a bigger protest. The
opposition collects few million. The ruling party collects
100,000,000.
This is good. So this competition in.
And,
I mean, I'm not here to talk about
a brittle country. I'm here to talk about
the cause.
So the 5th point is that she took
them to take part in a protest a
peaceful protest and the rallies are taking
part. Point number
6,
that
we should boycott
those products,
those companies
which are supporting
the cause of Israel,
and are supporting
this genocide.
And their organization, they'll take out the list
of companies
which are supporting.
So from the prophet,
they are funding
the Israeli government or the Israeli army
to kill
thousands of innocent Palestinians. Imagine,
who can be so injust, so cruel.
The same people on whom
the atrocities were done.
Just,
you know,
maybe less than 100 years back,
or maybe 100 years back, and you find
that the same people,
what atrocity you've done on them by Hitler,
to a certain extent, they are doing the
same against the people of Gaza. They've forgotten
in the past. So what we should do,
we should boycott the products. And many people
may think what's that effective,
what they do if I don't,
you know, go to McDonald's or if I
don't go to Starbucks.
The impact has been tremendous.
And we find that in many countries, they
have gone in a loss. And you may
be you may be shocked to know that
only Coke
had an article that every day,
they sell 1,900,000,000
servings a day.
And Pepsi,
with the all the companies put together alone,
they sell more than a $1,000,000,000 a day.
And the population of Muslims all over the
world is more than 25%.
I don't know why some of the speakers
or some of the Muslims yet say that
we have 1,600,000,000.
We have more than we have first 2,000,000
mark
long back.
Long back.
Maybe more than a year back, we crossed
the 2,000,000,000 mark. So according to me, we
are more than 26% of the world population.
According to non Muslim statistics, according to PW
Research also, the Muslims today are more than
2,000,000,000.
And and, you know, the world population,
I just checked yesterday,
that was the
happened to,
4th
May
at
8:0:5, that Kuwait time, the population in the
world was 8,000,000,000,111,200
and 20,000.
Exact.
I check on the world meter,
and the Muslim population is much more than
2,000,000,000.
So we are more than 26%, and we
are a strong force. So much so that
now in the last couple of months, even
the non Muslims have started boycotting, especially in
America, in Europe. They have started boycotting those
products which are supporting the Israeli army against
in the genocide,
against Islam, against against Gaza.
So once and almost started the boycott. I've
joined the boycott. The impact is tremendous.
And you find them trying to, you know,
trying to prevent
the loss. And many of these companies are
trying to say, oh, we want to donate
to Palestine, etcetera.
But don't be fooled by them. See, these
boycotts are very effective. And we know that
when the Danish cartoons
were published again, the prophet, And when the
Muslim world did a boycott, they went in
loss of 1,000,000,000 of dollars,
and they immediately
agreed and took back, and they gave an
apology. So we Muslims should be right. The
boycott is very strong.
This is the 6th point. 7th point, which
every Muslim can do, is you should contribute
whatever you can for the cause of Palestine.
Don't look at the amount. Look at the
percentage.
When you donate for the cause of Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, Allah looks at the percentage,
not at the amount.
For example,
if a person
who earns a $1,000,
and he donates $100,
compared
to a rich businessman who earns a $1,000,000,000
and donates a $1,000,000.
The person who owns a $1,000 and donates
$100, he's donating 10% of his income.
The other billionaire who earns a $1,000,000,000
and donates a $1,000,000 donating only point 1
percent of his profit.
So the person who donates $100 after earning
$1,000
gets 100 times more
than the person who earned the $1,000,000,000
and donates a $1,000,000, which is only 0.1%
of his profit.
So
the one who donates $100
gets 100 times more than a person who
donates a $1,000,000.
So don't look at the amount. Look at
the percentage.
Allah is enough
to make the Palestinian win. He doesn't require
your help and my help, Ravi.
He's giving us an opportunity
to earn
an easy reward.
So the
7th important point that every Muslim can do
is give charity for the cause of Palestine.
These seven points, the first seven points, every
Muslim,
whether male or female, whether rich or poor,
whether living in America or India or Pakistan
or Kuwait, any part of the world, they
can do it.
Yes.
The point
of the protest. I'm aware that some of
the countries,
especially the Gulf country, they don't
they don't allow protests. And this is an
exception.
Few countries in the world which don't allow
protests by law, so you may not be
able to take part in the protest
on-site.
Otherwise, you can do it online, etcetera. You
can. But so this like, exception to the
7 points, if you're living in certain countries,
which by law you cannot
allow protest. And if you don't take this,
there's an exception.
Only do a limited
the percentage of Muslim living in these countries
are very small.
Just a couple of percent, not more than
that,
compared to the 2,000,000,000
population that Muslims are there.
Coming to the 8th point.
The 8th point is that if any Muslim
owns a media, if Allah gives
the remaining 8 points
can only be done by those people who
are live blessed with this particular,
facility,
a particular nyama, a particular,
particular deed.
So it becomes a duty to do it.
So if you are one of the Muslims
who own the media, whether it be a
newspaper,
or it may be
a magazine,
it may be a radio broadcast station, it
may be a satellite channel, you may be
a journalist,
or you may be a person who's good
with the pen.
If you are a journalist or go to
the pen, see if you do write articles
in the international newspaper, in the national magazines.
If you know someone
who is a close friend, who own any
of these magazines or newspapers, which are very
famous, have a large
following,
or radio stations, or satellite channels. See to
it, you tell them
to make the reality of Jerusalem,
the arena of truth and falsehood, clear.
Tell them that you expose what happened in
Jerusalem.
The idea of truth and falsehood,
let them expose what's happening
with Palestine.
And if you own the media,
you're the owner. It becomes the duty.
So these point is restricted to those people
who either own
or know the owners or are good with
the pen or are good presenters you see
to it that you expose
the jurisdiction arena
of truth and falsehood to the world.
Point number 9,
we Muslims should have a battery of international
lawyers.
So that when any such thing happens or
happening in Gaza, we should see to it
that we take it to the international court.
And I'd like to praise South Africa
for being the first country, though it's an
non Muslim country. It filed a case against
Israel
in the ICC,
International
Criminal Court
of Justice.
And it was shocking that why did any
Muslim country think of that?
What has South Africa to do? But they
know the history that they were apartheid for
many years.
And always,
we know that Nelson Mandela,
he was a freedom fighter. He was arrested
by the white apartheid government and was imprisoned
and organized for more than 4, 25 years.
Later on, he was released and made the
president
of the country of South Africa, and he
always supported the cause of Palestine at that
time.
He didn't back out. And the people of
South Africa now get
of which the leader, Vincent Mandela, and they
thought to support it. I'm happy that one
of the first country that supported South Africa
was Malaysia.
So
so we should see to that we have
our own team of international
battery of lawyers
of in who know the international law so
that we can file it.
If you ask me,
the chance of getting justice may be negligible
irrespective of that. Even you may think that,
okay, the chance will get justice. 1 person
appoint 1 person or point 1%,
at least let the world be aware.
And this
gets feedback that there's an organization
in UK
called Eskate.
And what they did, that when the UK
government has banned and called Hamas
as,
one of the groups, which is a terrorist
group.
And anyone supporting that, they call them also
terrorist.
So they want to file a case supporting
them, knowing very well that they'll lose.
And when I spoke to the people, they
said, we don't think we're gonna win, but
let's get awareness.
We know
that the western world, we talk about justice.
They're far away from the truth, but let's
file a case so at least there's events.
And that's what we did.
When the UK
government,
they said that
I I could not enter UK,
that was in 2,000 and 10.
That the war is not banned.
It was that I'm not allowed to enter
UK. I've read the case going very, very
well. So the lawyer said 99.9%
will win, and the person who was my
fan who
sponsored the case said 95% will lose Acrobat.
But before that, we went initially, we won.
But later on, on the higher level, we
know that it's been controlled
by by the government. And they only talk
about freedom of speech and freedom of, But,
you know, it's nothing but a hogwash.
But we should have our own battery of
lawyers
and a strong one which files the case
when any such thing happens, especially what's happening
in Palestine. That's point number 9. Point number
10
is that we should make
a. We should make our own, you
know, for the cause of Palestine,
and contribute to it so that whatever returns
come from this, it
should go for the part of Palestine. You
can put in names, objective, whether you want
for education of Palestine, whether you're for medical
aid, or whether you want for the relief.
And,
this,
gun went over the live there was a
live discussion, I think, about 2 years ago
when the atrocities were there. I had lied
live online along,
with,
who was the previous, imam of Majid Afza
and the Mufti
of Palestine. And there,
we started
a a work for the cause of Palestine
in Turkey, and a hundred established.
And this year, we we were able we
are not very big. We're able to collect
1,000,000 of dollars for the
relief of the people of Palestine. So if
Allah has given you something, do it.
And
and at my own level, I tried to
do whatever I could do in most. If
not all 15, then very close to,
you know, quite a lot.
So we should establish
a works. And there are many works established.
See to you contribute to this works.
If you have the capacity of establishing yourself,
establish
or join with the works for this cause.
Point number 11,
you know, for 0.8910
were really selected people
who allowed to give the capacity.
Then
you go to point number 11, 12, 13.
Again, this becomes mainly this is on politics.
And the politician are more involved in the
point number 11, 12, 13, or if you
have contact with the policy. Point number 13.
Uh-huh. Point number 11 is that you should
see to it that if there is an
embassy of Israel in your country, see to
that a letter is given, or you coax
your politicians
or your member of parliament to see to
it that a letter is given to the
embassy of Israel objecting to the atrocities done
by Israel on the people of Gaza.
Or
I know there's many Muslim countries. We don't
have to see to it that you make
it known to the world
that this
government is against. And in the parliament, there
should be an objection to the atrocities
that's happening
against the people of Gaza, by Israel.
Point number 12,
that
you should do trade by court.
And, you know,
there are many countries who have done it.
Trade by court means,
now this is the limit.
You all are continuing with the genocide even
after telling you no. We will not trade
with you. This is much higher than a
boycott done by the people. Trade boycott by
country means no product of Israel can enter
your country.
That is number 12.
No product of Israel can enter your country.
That's a trade boycott.
It will be a loss
for
the government of Israel.
Number 13,
you can severe all diplomatic relations with Israel.
And we know many countries, including,
you know,
Malaysia. It's mentioned on the passport of Malaysia
that you can enter all countries except Israel.
And no Israeli citizen
carrying a Israeli passport.
So
severing all diplomatic ties with Israel.
And there are many Muslim countries have done
that. So if you severe all diplomatic ties,
coax your
coax your politicians,
to see to it that all diplomatic ties,
stopped with Israel. That's point number 13.
Point number 14
is that
how
we have NATO.
Northern Alliance Treaty Organization,
which at present has about 31 members,
mainly the European countries and America, USA.
And
these 31 members,
if you attack any one of these 31
members, it is as though you attack all
the members, so they're united, like NATO. So
why don't we have Micto? No. Like, Muslim
country, treaty,
treaty organization.
When they can have why can't we have?
And why should they object? So why don't
all the Muslim countries get together and have
a mentor
Muslim countries did the organization?
If all the 57
Muslim majority countries
get together and form a MECTO,
which is
maybe
Now more than 25% of the world population.
And these 25
this 57 majority country,
we also have a population
of more than 25% in the world.
There'll be large large economic force
if we form. I know
many people say it's a dream,
but inshallah.
If not now, it will surely happen that
the Muslim will be united.
Allah's promised that.
It will surely happen.
Point
number 14 is have a metro Muslim country.
And the last is
and the most important is
that we should reinstate
the Khalifa, that all the Muslim countries should
come under one umbrella.
I know it's difficult.
You
know?
If you see the history of Muhammad Ali
Salam and the first wohlfar al Shideen,
our heartaches
that today,
when we look at the Seerah of the
Khufal, live with Abu Adam Musa Salaam,
heal
on the highest level of character.
We don't find
any of any of our heads of states
of Muslim country, not even 1%.
Not even point 1 percent, close to any
of the Khalifa Rashid.
But
if there is the Muslims get together and
if we come under 1 umbrella,
under 1 caliph, I'm not saying that
we remove all the borders. I'm not saying
go back to what happened earlier, but at
least
have one common umbrella.
And we know, and the time doesn't permit
me to go into details,
that even when the last Khalifa,
Khultan Ahmed failed, he was so weak, yet
he was able to prevent if he's in
the talks that when there was a play
against the prophet in France, the evil year
later, they immediately stopped it. When that
troop went to UK and that said, UK
said, we are not like France. We cannot
stop it. He gave a strong letter that
he don't know. We will give our life
for a prophet and then to stop it.
Time doesn't.
But even at the weakest time,
because we're united,
the non Muslim feared us. Now the Muslims
are divided.
Many of the non Muslim countries are helping
the non Muslims
against Muslims.
So if we have this last
point
come back
under the umbrella of all the Muslims are
united, As Allah says in the Quran in
Sur Imran chapter 3 was 100 and 3.
Let the Muslim unite
with the rope of Allah. The Quran, the
Sahadeep. So inshallah,
if we unite,
most of our problems will be solved. This
was a speech I'd given
a few months earlier.
The 15 point action plan for the Muslim
Ummah.
I'll fight the call of Palestine stem. And
I pray to Allah that
may he give me, first of all, give
me the hidayah, give me the courage, give
me the give me the ability. You know,
we are weak. Give us the ability. Give
us the strength
to fulfill as much as we can to
follow the Quran and the Sahid and fulfill
and see what and
we really
we had lots of words
that we only pray to Allah
Let not Allah hold us responsible on the
day of judgement for not doing what we
can for our brothers and sisters in Palestine.
Allah, we fear
that maybe part the the brothers and sisters
in Palestine,
most of them, almost all, they'll fly they'll
pass with flying. What has he done? Have
we done enough?
What we can do
to for the cause
of Gaza.
And we pray to Allah's mother, may he
forgive our shortcomings,
and may he make us
able to do for this course.
I was supposed to speak for 45 minutes.
I spoke for a little bit more. And
the organizer wanted to give 15 minutes for
the open question session.
I'm running late for my next appointment, so
maybe we can have a short question answer
session.
And maybe I can answer
for a few minutes. I don't know how
the organizers are running that.
Yep.
And then,
we'll do maybe 10 to 15 minutes.
So we have the, first question here.
Assalamu alaikum. May
Allah bless you and reward you for all
your good. Good. With regard with regards to
the you with regards to the unifying of
the the brothers and stuff, I I understand
what you're saying,
but my question is this,
where where's the where's the responsibility on Saudi
with regards to all of this? I mean,
they're a constant ally to the US,
and Israel and the US are like brothers
and sisters.
Where's the responsibility and and and the, you
know,
the the the
the obligation on them being, you know, we
all make pilgrimage to the holy city there
every year.
What's the responsibility on that on that own
country?
As well as ask me a question, what
is the responsibility of Saudi on what's happening?
And you go for Umrah there. Brother, I'm
not a spokesperson for Saudi. I think you
are mistaken.
I'm doctor Zakir Nai. I'm born, brought up
in India. I did to Malaysia. I'm not
a spokesperson of any country.
I'm a Dahi.
I've given clearly the guidelines.
Any normal man who has the basic sense
can understand what I said. Now you're asking
me a Saudi? You have to go and
ask Saudi Arabia. I'm not a spokesperson in
Saudi.
I'm not here to criticize or pray Saudi
Arabia. I'm only giving you what the Quran
hadith says. And my talk is crystal clear.
If you can't understand what I spoke in
English, then the fault is yours, sir.
Can we have the next question, please?
So I could look at the next question.
Doctor Naik,
you know,
May Allah, you know, protect and preserve you.
I wanted to ask a question,
a little bit similar in a in a
different way. On the
national and international stage, it always seems that
they are
very, very intent on
making it seem like those who are standing
with the suffering of the the people, the
brothers and sisters in Gaza, that these somehow
people that are defending Hamas
in some sort of covert way. Is there
some sort of protocol that you would recommend
whenever you get backed into that kind of
corner for us to respond to these ignorant
people with?
Asked a very good question that, you know,
we get cornered that, you know, it's become
a stereotype
that,
that when you support the people of Hamas,
then you get attacked.
I wanted to say this, but I I
did not say it unless people say that
I'm praising someone and not praising the other.
As far as what I'm concerned,
there are very few heads of states,
a few countries, very few Muslim countries who
have openly supported.
But,
in the country where I'm living at
present Malaysia, there's a competition between the opposition,
not only who's supporting Palestine, who's.
And as far as my knowledge goes, that
the prime minister of
of,
of Malaysia
and I agree with you. There is a
stereotype. The moment you start supporting someone,
you get labeled. And I've I've been
you know, I've been,
I've been banned and backlisted in many ways
because they want me to condemn certain things.
They wanted to Taliban, and I never did.
I said, I've never met the Taliban. I
don't know them. I'm not that thing. I'm
talking about the past.
So I cannot give my view based on
what you see in the media. I was
very clear cut. I didn't mince with words.
Similarly, now I know that just
just a couple of months back, I think
it was in January, And Sony Williams you
have heard of Sony Williams,
who is a boxing champion of New Zealand.
And I didn't know that he happened to
be my fans, so he came to meet
me in
in, Pujalja, in Malaysia. And he said a
lot about Islam, separate Islam 19 years back.
And he told me
that he did a defamation case
against someone.
And the judge, one of the judges of
the court of New Zealand,
told Tony Williams
that I will give you compensation on the
condition
that you condemn Hamas.
And he said, I did not condemn Hamas.
I said, good. Allah is testing.
So how can you condemn Hamas?
And
the only one of the few
heads of state that I know,
that is Anwar Ibrahim,
may may Allah give me that I care.
He even in the opposition,
the opposition, Martir Mohammed and the others, they
supported Hamas,
and they said that you cannot blame Hamas.
And Matel Mohamed said that what Hamas did,
they were forced to do it,
and he agrees with them.
Anwar Ibrahim went to a different level.
Anwar Ibrahim
praised and he said openly, in the protest
organized by the government of Malaysia,
in the protest where tens of thousands of
people are there, He told in public that
America is forcing us to condemn Hamas.
How can I condemn Hamas?
You cannot take only one incident.
They are resistance fighters.
They're resisting. They are freedom fighters openly. Not
only that, just a couple of months back,
he went to Germany,
maybe a month back, in Germany when he
was invited
by the government.
You know, Germany is a very staunch alley
or was a staunch alley of Israel.
There, he openly said that you cannot
only take 7th October in mere isolation. You
have to see the full history of more
than 50 years back, up to 75 years
back.
You take in context.
And he said that we are in touch
with the Hamas political wing openly.
So I'm saying that these people are freedom
fighters.
I mean, they are doing Fardik e fire.
I know that some countries may not agree
with them, may give them labels, but do
we have Muslims?
You know, there are there are negative points
here or there in every organization.
You can't speak on that. But as a
whole,
I am open.
I'm not afraid to say that they are
freedom fighters,
and they're doing fire.
Yes. There are many groups
in
Palestine. The good thing is that that many
of the groups are joined together. I'm aware
by saying that many countries will ban you,
malleable
you as a terrorist. In my 15 points,
I did mention the name of Hamas a
few times.
So as far the question is concerned,
we have Muslims. We are not here to
support any political party or any part or
particular country or go against this. When you
want to advise
an incumbent,
if you have the contact sheet, we do
do it with Hikma. Our main aim should
be to win them over, not to defeat
them. As far as Hamas is concerned,
I feel they are mujahideen,
and they are fighting for the freedom.
And not only us, there are 1,000,000 of
non Muslims supporting them.
So we should make it crystal clear. We
should not be afraid of what the international
media
is stereotyping.
And as far as I'm personally concerned, I'm
not speaking on behalf of the other Muslims
or the other, etcetera. We have to stand
for that. Can I start my talk with
the quotation of the Quran of Surah Isra?
Chapter number 17, verse number 81.
When falsehood, falsehood perishes. For falsehood, it's biased
nature bound to perish. I'm aware that certain
types
who may have a soft corner, but cannot
support them for political reason, and they keep
quiet. I'm not against
them. What I have to understand that a
prophet said the best is if you see
something wrong, you stop it with the hand.
If you can't stop it with the hand,
pop it with the tongue. If you can't,
then curse in your hearts. So if there
are certain living in certain countries who cannot
support them openly, and if they keep quiet,
I'm not against them. But among those Dahi
who are speaking against them,
that is wrong. So if a Dahi, also
Muslim,
doesn't support them because of the political situation,
because of the where they're living in the
country,
so I will not condemn them. I will
say they are the lowest level of Muslims.
But someone going against them is wrong. So
that's the reason, I would say, that we
should follow the guidelines of the Quran. Hope
that answers the question.
My question is,
what about the return of Asa
and the implications on Jerusalem?
Regarding this, this is a long answer. You
can see if you go to my Facebook,
I've given the major signs of the end
of the world.
And sorry. There's a minor sign and major
signs. What I've listed, I think, approximately 87
of the minor signs. Some signs have already
come. Some are yet to come and the
major signs. And and I've spoken about this
is a wrong thing. Of course, we believe
he's gonna come.
And and we believe, I'll just say inshallah,
and we believe they're gonna come, and he's
going to kill the dajjal. And we know
the minor sign than the major sign that
the major will come.
And
and then, of course,
there is a light at the end of
the tunnel.
And and Allah says in the Quran in
no less than 3 different places. In Surat
Al Tawbah chapter 9 verse number 33.
In Surat Al Fathah, chapter 48 verse 28.
And Surat Al Saf chapter 61 verse number
verse 29. That Allah send his messenger with
guidance and the reign of truth so that
he'll prevail over all the other religions, over
all the other isms, whether it be Christianism,
Judaism, Hinduism, atheism, secularism.
Islam is destined to supersede all.
Master them all. And Allah ends in 2
different ways. Allah says in one place,
And in
two place, Allah
says, However, the mushrik don't like it. So
this is a promise Allah has given the
Quran all the 3 places. And there are
various hadith. The the Insha'Allah, time will come.
The Muslim will rule the world for 7,
7 years.
Isa Al Asad will come in the second
coming.
He will kill the
the break the cross and kill the dajjal,
and then
there'll be sweet wind that will come. And
we'll put all the moments, the believers,
for that, and then then the signs of
qiyama will come. So for 7 years,
Masha'Allah, Muslim will rule the world. 7 years.
We don't know whether whether it'll be during
the time or not. So I believe that
inshallah inshallah, there is, there is a light
at the end of the tunnel. Allah has
promised, and Allah Allah never Allah will speak
the truth. So Inshallah, there'll be a time
that will come that the Muslim will rule
the world for 7 years. That's what they
say. Hope to answer the question.
The it's more it's 1 in
the Palestine
as a whole,
knowing some Palestinian
people,
they
have some difference with the,
in regards of the,
the clock
and the character of the,
of our brothers and sisters in Palestine,
in regards to the Itaman,
there is
a lot of
singing and dancing
and other issues, you know, and and that
they can correct themselves in terms of akida
in a clock.
And
we wanna know if the dyads are giving
dawah
in to our brothers and sisters, not just
in Gaza, but in Palestine and in other
countries as well.
You know, there's no Nasiba except, you know,
it's from ourselves,
and,
the best
the best action is, you know, to start
with yourself.
The best you had is you had enough.
And then the second thing I want to
know,
if they're not giving the the the SEI
to them to change their isth isthuan,
then what can be done to do that
so that Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, consent his
mercy and rahman to the people?
And then
I want to know what the doctors are
doing to come together
to take
and
help solve some of the problems?
And do you think that the doctors will
be able to get money in quicker
than going through other organizations?
So also the reminder chapter number 5 verse
number 2,
where you quote in Arabic.
Also reminded chapter 5 verse number 2 that
help each other in in
righteousness
and good deeds, and do not help each
other in sin and transmission.
The verse of the Quran is very clear
cut in, so reminder chapter 1, number 2,
that the Muslims as a whole should help
each other in
in righteousness and good deeds and should not
help each other in Finland and Ankara. So
he's asking that, you know, there are some
of the some of the Muslim brother and
sister in Palestine who may be involved in
dancing, etcetera, and singing and and and other
parts of the world. What are we doing?
And he went on in the ending to
say that there are some doctors that and
they want to go to Palestine,
and and what should be done. As far
as it it's it's it is known.
But, of course, we cannot say that as
a whole, everyone is very good. We have
in every country,
good and bad. We have the good people
and the bad people.
Sometimes the majority are good people, sometimes majority
are bad. Yes. I'm aware that they may
be, surely,
that all the people in Palestine
and Gaza may not be 100% on the
path of Quran in Sunnah. But what we
have to realize that what they have done
in these last 7 months,
they have made us realize the Quran better.
That what Emanda had, that even though atrocities
were there, they are saying. So
I'm sure that if these people, Allah, will
forgive their sin. But, of course, if they're
doing wrong, they're wrong. If they're not following
the Quran and sunnah, if they're going any
of the they're going against any of the
hakam of Allah and if Rasool, they're wrong.
So we are not we are not condoning
any of those.
We are mainly here
together about to speak about Jerusalem, the arena
of truth and falsehood.
So regarding some people who are not following
Quran, so not they should be guided. And
there are guys which are doing that. I
know people who have gone to Gaza and
Artig Dawa. So that doesn't mean by when
you're talking about the genocide that's happening
that we are condoning those wrong things. Irrespective
whether it's happening in Palestine or in any
other Muslim country, what is wrong is wrong.
We cannot condone it. So
nowhere should we condone it. So if anyone
is not following any any ecomm of Allah
and his Rasool, of course, they should be
condemned. They should not convert it. And regarding
that, we should, of course, we should go
and have to the best of ability. Therefore,
in my top of 15 points,
the whatever you can do, your best you
do.
Allah is going to see your nia and
your effort.
The end result, leave it to Allah.
So we have to try our level best
to see what we can do. And as
I said, that may not Allah hold me
responsible. He was at the rest of the.
Let's not hold me responsible because
I don't know that am I doing enough
or not?
You know, maybe Allah has given me so
much ability, which I may not be doing
what I should do. So I'm first introspecting
myself
that am I doing enough? You know, the
stammerer,
a person who could not say his name
properly.
It's by it's by the grace of Allah
Subhanahu wa Taherazah bin Farid Abi. He put
love into the hearts of the people who
come to listen to me. So I'm not
I'm not aware of them to be sufficient
or not. So I'm keeping on striving
and asking Allah to forgive my mistakes and
asking Allah to accept whatever little bit I'm
doing. And as a whole, of course,
we don't have to
condone any of the things which are wrong,
even if it's happening in Palestine. And we
pray to Allah that may guide us to
the.
Since the time is limited, we have already
exceeded exceeded. I think we can take a
last question because I have an appointment. I
told you half an hour.
So, Insha'Allah, we'll take a last question before
we end my question.
My question,
is that I'm sure everyone here would love
the reestablishment
of the caliphate and the true Sharia according
to the Kitab and Sunnah.
So I'm wondering that let alone the division
between Israel and Palestine, there's a lot of
disunity in the Muslim world. If we look
back in history,
nationalism
was a big part of causing,
causing the weakening of the Ummah.
For example, I have a Turkish background, so
I have some ultra nationalists in my family,
or even seen recently
the, leader of Iran passed away,
and say for like many of the Sahaba,
and the Muslims, they fought for that land
and they were a big part of our
history,
but we're not currently united with,
with them as well. So what type of
Dawah can we do against nationalism
and warming up the idea of bringing back
the caliphate to lead the Muslims under one
banner? And do you see any value in
that?
Very important question, and may Allah give him
care.
And, the question is very good that what
can be Muslims do to revive
the Khalifa?
I mean, you ask any scholar. No scholar
would ever say anyone who has the basic
knowledge of the deen will never say the
Khalifa should not be revived. But there may
be diff difference in methodology.
So when we look at the seerah of
the prophet, and we know we read the
hadith and read the Quranic verses, there are
different strategies and methodology used by people.
I'm aligned with those who say that we
should not wash our dirty linen in public.
And when we see history and when we
read,
the scholars, see, we are just dying. We
aren't scholars. What we do, we read the
works of the scholars,
and we make it
make it easily palatable
to the general masses. You know, we we
read the books of the scholars, and we
meet them, we discuss with them, and and
we learn from them. We don't give our
own fatwas, but we learn from them, and
we make it more digestible.
So I believe this point is very important.
What we should agree that we should see
the of the prophet,
that we should not
normally, when if there is a ruler who's
there, that we should we should see to
it that we deal with.
Imagine, I I personally as I'm aware, you
know, I have the policy.
Allah has blessed me that I have met
at least 50% of the heads of states
of Muslim country,
Allah has blessed
me. I see the best when I meet
them.
You know, I always see to it that
Allah will question me on their judgment. That
Allah has given a posture to speak, and
most of them. It is not just meeting
and shaking hand, you know, in a in
a in a public gathering. Most of them
have met 1 to 1. Some half an
hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, 5
hours, and we discuss
a lot. I believe the best is
those people who are close
to these health of trust. We have to
advise them.
That's the best. And we see that this
has got the best result. If you see
our history
of the past, Islam doesn't allow
for you to do giabat.
It's permitted certain times for the 6 criteria.
As the moment now we say it, and
I agree with those.
But I feel the best result can be
got by advising them when we meet them,
and we get good results.
That is what I believe. I don't agree
with, with, with with, you know,
trying to watch the in public.
And
I've been successful to a very small level.
I'm a very small, humble person,
and I cannot tell everything what what, what
success I got. But I do remember depending
upon how close I am to the head
of state.
And,
I know that I'll just give one sentence,
which, you know, because the person no longer
holds that that position yet. I know that,
the president of Gambia,
he was very close to me. And,
he he was a fan of mine
and very close to me. I did not
know that Gambia existed. He invited me, and
I went there. And I thought he was
a great fan of mine. He said, your
manager is adviser.
I'm just cutting the story short. And I
advised him a lot, and he followed not
everything, but quite a lot to get extent.
And then I said that since it's a
small country
having 2,000,000, why don't you, you know, try
and come follow as much as Islam as
possible, what I should do? I said, why
don't you try and make it into the
Republic of Gambia, Islamic Republic He
told me, Sheikh, give me 1 year's time.
And in 11 months,
he changed the name of the country from
Republic of Gambia to Islamic Republic of Gambia.
See, I know that there are drawbacks in
every I'm not saying that he was a
very good Muslim, but I try to know
his drawbacks. I'm not gonna speak about that.
But I like his guts. I like his
guts. I've spent hours with
him. What happened I'm just cutting the story
short. It came in the in the in
in the newspapers of USA that doctor Zakir
Naik is the godfather of the president of
gambling.
That was Jamey,
doctor
Al Hajj.
Jami.
And,
what happened? They thought with the next election,
you know, how they control the Muslim world.
If it's a small country, they thought with
that they
that they did politics and involved in the
in the electoral voting, and next time he
was removed.
But gave him. Of course, you have to
pay the price for it. If you want
to
implement Islam, you have to pay the price
for it. And granted.
As I said, that there are pros and
cons in every human being. I'm not here
to talk about the negative factor. I'm talking
about the positive factor and the many positive
factor in that previous president of Gambia.
I remember that, you know, he told his,
he told his home minister, come here.
You in 24 hours,
you give diplomatic passport to doctor Zakina and
his wife. If you can give it, get
me your head.
I mean, you know, he loved me so
much. So
when I come to know that the person
loves me, will I get advantage of it?
Advantage is not for our benefit.
And one day that what we can
get the person for Quran and Sunnah. So
I believe.
I mean, what I did, I mean, I'm
nothing. I'm no one. I'm just humble person.
So Allah made it possible to change the
full name of the full
country. Of course, he couldn't establish
everything what was said by me, but he
could do to a certain extent.
So in this way, whatever relationship you have
with head of state, secret that you contact
the people who are close to the heads
of the test state and secret that you
guide them. This is the best.
This is the best solution.
And
this is what we learned
from the of the prophet. Of course,
there are difference of opinion on how how
how you want to,
get it done. And
and I've I've read various books on various
things. I personally feel this is this is
the best strategy to do it. Hope that
answers the question. And I pray to Allah
that me, he helped us Muslim and myself
to see through that we follow the guidance
of the Quran, and we follow the guidelines
of of the Sahih Hadith, and may accept
our humble efforts and see to it that
he forgive our mistakes
and our sins so that, inshallah, all of
us would be raised together in Shajadda Firdos.
And I pray to the people of Palestine
that they have made a learned a lot.
We have understood many verses of the Quran
by looking at at the clips
of Gaza. We have learned many understood what
the Quran say. You know, we're hearing stories
of the people of the Sabah, what they
did. Now we are seeing lies that the
iman that the people of Gaza has, it
has
it has put us to shame.
That
may he
give to all those people who have been
saved, and may he give strength and saber
to the people of Gaza and unite the
Muslim Ummah so that we are united in
a one band of Quran in Sunnah and
able to solve the problem.
Dear respected, doctor Zakad Naik. We really appreciate
your,
your time from your busy schedule and for
being with us and attending this conference.
And, we ask Allah
to reward you immensely and to bless you
and family and all the work that you
do and make it on your scale of
good deeds.
InshaAllah, we hope this is not the first
time that you join us for one of
these conferences and we hope to see you
once again, in our presence and hopefully in
person, inshallah.
Inshallah for the brothers and, sisters. We'll take
a quick 5 minute break. Inshallah allow the
brothers
and sisters to get up and stretch and
grab a a drink or
or snack and come back. We'll start we'll
continue with Gabriel Arromani. He's actually waiting, so
we don't wanna wait keep him waiting too
long. I know we've went a little ahead.
We're a little behind on schedule by about
half an hour, so we wanna try to
catch up as much as possible. And the
sisters will be having, our sister,
Umma Abdul Rahman, sister Sarah. She is here.
She'll be given the sisters session.
That will be for the sisters only. And
then we'll have the brothers here with brother
Gabriel Al Romani. So please, 5 minutes and
then we'll begin with brother Gabriel.
