the language of the region. They also mention the need for students to learn the language of the region and ask for guidance on how to become a doctor. The speaker concludes by expressing their belief that schools should be of good quality and reduce their reliance on Muslims.

Alhamdulillah, wassalatu wassalam ala rasulillah wa ala alihi
wa sahbihi ajmain, amma baad.
A'udhu billahi minash shaitanir rajim, bismillahir rahmanir
raheem.
Iqra' bismi rabbika l-lazee khalaq, khalaq al
-insana min alaq.
Rabbish al-sadri, wa salli amri, wa ahlul
umdata min al-lisani afqaw qawli.
My respected elders and my dear brothers, assalamu
alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
I had heard a lot about Sialkot, that
it is a city of sports goods, where
football is made, and many sports, whether it
is cricket or bat, hockey sticks are made.
So, Alhamdulillah, today I am in Sialkot.
I have to give a message in this
opening, that today we see that most of
the Muslims, as far as education is concerned,
look towards the western world, and proudly say,
my son is studying in America.
When I go to rich people's houses, they
want to tell me that my son is
studying in Harvard.
My son is free, he is free from
Jamutul Imam in Riyadh.
Jamutul Imam is one of the best Islamic
universities in the world.
My two daughters are free from Jamutul Noorah,
which is one of the biggest women's universities
in the world.
So, I ask the Arabs, I ask the
Muslims, if your son graduates from Harvard and
becomes an MBA, or if he becomes a
doctor or an engineer from a UK university,
will they pray for you?
Will it be more acceptable that your son
graduates from an Islamic university?
Like Jamutul Imam, so his head goes down.
First of all, the guidance that Allah Almighty
gives to humans in the Qur'an, not
just for Muslims, but for the whole world,
is to say, read Iqra.
And often, a large number of Muslims do
not want to read.
Allah's message is not just Iqra.
The whole message is Iqra, in the name
of Allah.
Read in the name of Allah.
The guidance that Allah Almighty gives to humans,
for every Muslim, whether he is a man
or a woman, the guidance that is obligatory
for every Muslim, is the basic knowledge of
our Creator, the basics of religion.
If we cannot recognize our Creator, then what
is our purpose in life?
If the knowledge that you acquire, your Creator
does not take it to his Lord, Allah
Almighty, then that knowledge may benefit you in
this world, you may earn money.
But in the hereafter, it has no benefit.
If that knowledge takes you to your Lord,
takes you closer to Allah, Inshallah, in the
hereafter, it is beneficial.
It is beneficial in this world too.
You will not find it beneficial.
So today, our institutions should be better than
western institutions, even in technology.
If you read history, in the 8th and
9th century, Europeans used to say, this era
is the era of darkness.
For whom?
For Europeans.
Not for the world.
The progress that the world made in the
8th, 9th and 10th century, but who progressed?
We Muslims.
We Muslims progressed so much, that if you
want to do research on science, it is
necessary for you to learn Arabic.
Which person is better, who calls people to
Allah, and does good deeds, and says, I
am a Muslim.
So the best profession, according to Allah, is
that of a doctor.
The profession of a doctor, is better than
all professions in the world.
How many colleges do we have to make
a doctor?
How many are there in Pakistan?
To make a doctor, I am not talking
about Islamic colleges.
If you learn the language of the Qur
'an, learn the language of the Qur'an,
and what you will get, is incomparable.
It is a pity that our institutions, what
we would have done, we would have taken
western education, we would have made it Islamic.
This is written in the Qur'an, in
Surah An-Nabiyah, Do the disbelievers not see,
that we were one in the whole universe,
and we made an explosion, and it did
not explode.
This Big Bang, which we came to know,
50 years ago, 60 years ago, it is
written 1400 years ago in the Qur'an.
But we send our children that education, America,
England, Europe.
After three years, that father comes, Zakir Bhai,
please give guidance to my children, they are
your fans.
What happened?
He ran away.
What is he doing?
He is committing adultery.
What is he doing?
He is taking drugs.
What is he saying?
My son has gone to become a girl.
We, in our country, in our city, should
establish such institutions, that people forget to go
out.
You establish any institution, it should have 10
times more applications.
Then your institution is of good level.
If you have 100 seats, then 1000 applications
should come.
If the demand is more than supply, people
will respect you.
So if we establish such an institute, which
is of good quality, reduce it, but make
it of good quality.
You will see, Inshallah, our numbers will rise
again.
In today's date, we are more than 25
% in the world.
8 billion out of 2 billion are Muslims.
Never in the world, in history, Muslims were
not so many in the world.
What is this condition?
You are beating everywhere.
This is because we Muslims have left the
Qur'an and Hadith.
Inshallah, if we come again close to the
Qur'an and Hadith, if we act on
it, then Inshallah, we will reach the top
of the world again.
I pray to Allah Almighty, that may Allah
guide us all, to act on the Qur
'an and Hadith.
And I pray to Allah Almighty, that may
He take us all, Inshallah, to heaven together.
And the end is near.
All praise is due to the Lord of
the worlds.
