00:00:01 --> 00:00:02
			The topic
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:03
			I have chosen
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:06
			for this morning's talk is,
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:07
			if
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:09
			the label shows your intent,
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:11
			wear it.
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:13
			It is rather
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:15
			an unusual topic.
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:17
			People may wonder
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:19
			that what
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:20
			has the label
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:22
			got to do with Islam,
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:24
			or the Muslims.
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:26
			People
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:27
			are rather curious
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:29
			that
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:31
			what will be the content
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:33
			of this talk.
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:34
			It's rather
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:36
			an unusual topic.
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:39
			I start my talk
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:40
			by quoting
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:44
			a verse from the glorious Quran, From Suri
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:44
			Anam,
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:46
			chapter number 6,
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:48
			verse number 54, which says,
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
			And when those come to thee,
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			who believe in our signs,
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04
			tell peace be on you.
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:07
			It means that whenever a moment,
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:09
			whenever a Muslim
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12
			comes to you, you should say,
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:13
			Assalamu alaikum.
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:17
			May peace be on you. It's compulsory
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:20
			that whenever a Muslim meets another Muslim,
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:24
			whenever a woman meets another woman, he should
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:25
			say
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:29
			may peace be on you. It's complexity.
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:32
			The other was I quoted
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:34
			was
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:36
			from Surin Nisa,
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:38
			chapter number 4,
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:40
			verse number 86 where it says,
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:52
			which means that when a courteous
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:53
			greeting
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:55
			is offered to you,
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:57
			meet it with
		
00:01:58 --> 00:01:58
			a greeting
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:00
			still more courteous,
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:02
			or at least the same.
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:04
			And Allah
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:05
			is careful
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08
			in keeping accounts of all things.
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:10
			That means whenever
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:12
			any person
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:14
			greets you,
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:16
			you should greet him with
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:19
			a greeting which is more courteous,
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:21
			or at least
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:22
			of equal courtesy.
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:23
			It's compulsory.
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:25
			For example,
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:27
			if suppose
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30
			someone wishes you,
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:33
			you should wish
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:35
			back,
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:37
			If someone says,
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:41
			you should wish
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:43
			back,
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:47
			May peace, mercy and blessings of Allah
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:49
			be on all of you.
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:51
			Or if someone says,
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:54
			you can even reply,
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:58
			The words are the same,
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:00
			but it is coming from within
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:02
			the heart, from the depths of the heart,
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:04
			from the bottom of the heart. The words
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:06
			are the same, but it is still a
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:07
			more courteous beauty.
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:11
			Or if someone says
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:16
			And if you cannot improve on that, at
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:17
			least say,
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:20
			minimum
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:22
			of equal courtesy.
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:26
			But there are many Muslims
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:28
			who own companies,
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:32
			who have got various employees under them.
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:34
			And when their employees,
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:35
			when they wish them,
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:38
			they either nod
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:39
			or they murmur
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:44
			or. Some even don't care to reply.
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:49
			These Muslims, they are going against the commandment
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:51
			of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala in the glorious
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:54
			Quran. In Surin Nasar, chapter 4 was 8,
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:56
			60 says, you should
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:59
			wish back more courteously, or at least
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:00
			wish
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:02
			back with equal courtesy.
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:06
			He's greet back the person with equal courtesy.
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:07
			It's minimum.
