glorify Him and we send his peace and
blessings on the Prophet Muhammad
sallallahu alayhi wasalam on his family
and his companions and all those who
called to his way and until the day of
judgement shall I just before we call
him Hamza to speak there's just a few
opening introductory remarks and sha
Allah
the first is once again Jacques Allah
have for your presence this evening and
on behalf of the Muslim Students
Association at the University of Toronto
st. George campus and on behalf of IPC I
Canada we'd like to welcome you here in
sha Allah and we begin the program by
asking Allah subhana WA Ta'ala
to make this night a meaningful evening
I mean a night where we can learn from
the words without hands in sha allah and
we can gain something that will bring us
closer to allah subhanaw taala in this
life and in the hereafter in sha allah
the program as you know tonight's topic
is entitled lambs to the slaughter
our children and modern education this
is first of a two night lecture program
we're hosting inshallah mom hamza will
be also be speaking tomorrow night in
this very Hall concerning the topic of
action in the last days as many of you
already know Imam comes I'll make the
introduction very brief Imam Hamza hails
from Santa Clara California recently
where he is the Imam he's originally
from he's also originally from
California imam hamza has studied all
over the Middle East in particular in
Mauritania and other parts of North
Africa we've heard him many many times
before and we've come to respect his
insight and his wisdom in sha allah many
of us especially like some of the young
people here in toronto have had the
opportunity to study with him and to be
with him for short periods of time and
inshaallah I hope tonight that we'll be
able to gain on this very very important
issue and the issue as Imam Hamza
described to us earlier is the issue of
our children and modern education in
particular the Muslim crisis the very
severe crisis that is facing our
children and our youth and in fact our
entire communities so without further
ado inshallah I'll ask him homicide to
come to the podium and address on my
neck
handle in the salatu wassalam wada after
a Honda Odyssey dinner Wahhabi you know

ever be Hanauma alhamdulillah anonymity
Lisa damn you walk ever be hey Nana
alhamdulillah at an aromatic salami or
cover behind Nana
Allah in the air Olivia and all the
nobody knows and knows and all that mo
that I'm already ahead oh you two had a
year spinatra no not him I want to first
just say that I was very fortunate
because I gave very short notice about
the overhead projectors and somebody
just happened to be here that said he
wasn't supposed to be here but we don't
believe that people are ever where
they're not supposed to be there always
where they're supposed to be so that's
why we believe that nobody can ever be
in an accident
doesn't happen people somebody said he
was in the wrong place at the right time
no he was in the right place at the
right time but was he in the right State
everybody's in the right place at the
right time but the problem is is are
they in the right state to meet their
Lord so and really that's I think a good
introduction into what I want to talk
about are we in the right state and
people talk a lot about the Islamic
state but I think even though that's a
alien term to the Islamic vocabulary
because it's a Latin word which means
something that stays the same and Islam
is always expanding by its nature it's
never static and and so the the idea of
Islamic state if you want to term the
word in Arabic hide which also means
state then yeah we need an Islamic state
an Islamic hat or an Islamic condition
an Islamic state of mind and the Islamic
state of mind is what is necessary to
precede an Islamic situation of govern
where the herkim is for allah subhana wa
ta'ala alone and to no one else but the
foundation of that has been is and
always will be a cater of muslims who
are committed to the truth who reach a
critical mass and when they reach a
critical mass then at that point
something amazing happens and we can see
that in the Sierra of the prophet
sallallaahu them in his life and history
I just want to point out this is what's
known as the light spectrum the visible
light spectrum and I just like us all to
reflect for a moment about the physical
the physical
the visible light spectrum because I
think it's an excellent metaphor for the
Islamic world view and the non Islamic
or the Kaffir world view because both of
them are world views and their encounter
distinction to each other and there is
antagonism between the two to say that
we are not antagonistic to Kufa is to
tell a lie because muslims are
antagonistic to Kufa not perhaps in the
ways that the kuffar would like to
pretend in their media and in their and
in their misrepresentation of islam but
in reality islam is in its deep
innermost essence in deep antagonism to
boppin because islam is deenal Haq and
it sees everything other than that as
boPET and so if you look here that
little black spectrum is what they call
the visible light spectrum that is what
everything that we're seeing now is in
that spectrum but if you notice you keep
going down and you go up and you go into
infrared light and you go into x-rays
and gamma-rays there's a whole other
spectrum there that we're not seeing or
witnessing but it exists nonetheless now
for centuries human beings thought that
this was all there was in terms of these
rays this is not the height we're
talking about this is monk you see we're
not talking about life here this is monk
but for centuries human beings thought
that the monk was in that little
black spectrum that is a very small
spectrum of reality if we're just
talking about monk we're not talking
about men accout and other realms we're
just talking about monk at this point so
for centuries human beings in their
ignorance thought that's all there was
in the monk
now they believed in the hive or the
unseen well in recent times they've
extended it you see now this is out of
their ignorance they always think that
whatever they know is is everything
there is right so that line doesn't
necessarily stop down there or up there
that's just where they've arrived that
now with their outward Sciences and the
reason that I began was sort of to roam
is because it's the European chapter
it's called surah to Rome and in Arabic
Rome means the Europeans that's what it
means sometimes translated as the Greeks
but we know Greeks are not Romans Rome
was the capital of the Roman Empire and
the Roman Empire meant the European
Empire and up until very recently the
Muslims and they still do in North
Africa called the Europeans Roman
anybody that was from Europe was known
as a Roman and sometimes they called him
a French from the Franks now surah to
Rome says yeah animu neva here on minute
hiya to dunya Romani our character who
Mohave rune they know the outward of
this world but as far as the n-word goes
the reality about the Asura about what's
beyond they have no knowledge they're in
a state of complete heedlessness and
this is to me indicative of that
condition if we look at this just as
being now I want you just to imagine
that that little black spectrum there is
the that's the MOOC now the labor board
the unseen that no one knows except
allah subhana wa ta'ala and the prophets
were given a portion of that knowledge
to inform us about so the prophets had
access to the the angelic realm they saw
angels and they saw things that we did
not see the prophets all I said I'm on
the Asura in the Mirage saw a wondrous
things and came back and informed his
companions about those things and they
believed in those things because they
knew that he will saw the panama's book
the truthful and the one who is believed
and he is that I mean the trustworthy
one so these people are trapped in that
little Moke and yet the Muslims have an
understanding or traditionally at least
they did that there was a whole spectrum
of reality that we have no access to
which is called a light and a lot begins
his book by saying and letting me know
Annabelle hide that there are the people
who believe in the unseen so we believe
in things that these people do not
believe in and that's a starting point
and that's a deep antagonistic
perspective given the fact that gross
secular materialism is the dominant
religion of the age the idols of the age
are idols of the mind there are no
longer wooden and stone idols they're
idols of the intellect their idols that
are called an oath on awamiya they're
just illusions in the conceptualization
of human beings and Islam is an
iconoclastic Deen by its nature it
breaks idols so it doesn't just break
the outward idols it breaks the inward
idols and the the foundation for that is
even in the Arabic language because
there's a difference between sanam and
Wesen and Raqqa Buddhist mehandi says
one of the sonim is formed outwardly the
Wesen is the conceptualization that
takes place in the mind of the idolaters
so we are in a deeply idolatrous society
we're in a society of idol worshippers
and unfortunately many Muslims have
fallen into the same conceptual idols
that these other people believe in and
this is part of the tragedy because we
have all of these antibodies if we
follow our Deen we have any bodies that
protect us from these Cooper antigens
right if you know physiology an antigen
comes into the body and the body has a
natural immunity and it begins to
formulate these antibodies and they will
protect the body from that foreign
invader but we've been invaded folks and
the amazing thing about it is instead of
fighting off the infection we encourage
it we encourage the infection because
not only do we not allow our antibodies
to develop but we allow the antigens to
proliferate until they've literally
taken over the whole body and the way
the
we do that is through the educational
system because we have adopted almost
wholeheartedly a Kaffir educational
system that is deeply and grossly alien
to the Islamic perspective could you
switch the slider now I also slide I
just like to say this is not a vid ah
because the Prophet SAW lies amused
visuals he once was with his Sahaba and
he drew a square on the on the sand and
then he drew a line and he drew lines
coming out of the sand and he drew a
line outside the square and explained
that that was the agile and there were
these lines and things like this and and
so the prophet saw lies amused that that
technique so I'm not doing anything new
we're just maybe expanding on the sand
but again you know this is the age of
sand the silicon chip and all of these
things it's just sand everything comes
from the desert now I want to look at
this hadith which Abu Huraira
about the Ilan who relates and it's a
hadith it's in sahih al-bukhari and it's
a deeply important hadith all of the
hadith are important but they have
obviously ranks and degrees in in what
the prophet sal is and I wanted to
convey to the Muslims because there are
Hadees that you can live your whole life
and never haven't heard but they will
not affect your worldview or your
understanding because other hadees
fulfill that function this is one ADIZ
that's actually essential for the muslim
to understand the meaning of it and the
hadith says kun lumo luden woody de el
el fip era now sometimes this is
mistranslated saying every child is born
a Muslim you will see a translator it
does not say that in the Arabic language
that is a tough sear or an
interpretation coming from the idea that
this is deenal Haq that Islam is deen al
fitrah it's the Dean of filtra but in
fact the hadith says Cuomo luden Woody
Allen Farah well a Baba who you have
with Annie he are you know she Ronnie he
oh you met Dasani he and it is his
parents who will make it a Jew a
Christian or imagine a fire worshipper
now this had
first of all gives us a very profound
insight into societies and the nature of
what is termed now in modern sociology
socialization this is what they call in
sociology socialization that people are
socialized by their environments into a
way of behaving a behavioral pattern a
model of behavior that is taken solely
from outside of themselves now this
behavioral pattern can either be
congruence with the inherent nature of
the human being or it can be in
congruence with it in other words it can
be dis harmonic and create turbulence in
the self if it is in harmony with it
then it's in harmony with the filter
that Allah subhana WA Ta'ala has
inherently made people follow this
natural normative pattern of being or
behavior now I just if you look at these
four models a healthy situation is when
the child who is naturally inclined
towards fitrah will be facilitated in
their developmental nature in fulfilling
their nature that Allah has made them
upon by the family and the society and
this is an ideal situation in which the
child is not only raised by Muslim
family Muslim parents Muslim sisters
brothers aunts uncles with an Islamic
world view and an Islamic behavior but
the society at large is facilitating the
Tavia or the nurturing of this child so
the child is not only becoming a Muslim
inside the house but outside the house
the Islam is being confirmed and this is
madina munawwara this is the the city of
the Prophet SAW Allah is M which is a
blueprint a model for the the society in
which the human being was intended to
live and exist in and that is why it is
our Medina alpha-beta it is the virtuous
City it is the city which we are
supposed to look and take as our example
now unfortunately there
many modern Muslims who have this idea
that somehow these people that the
Provencal Ison was living in a primitive
culture that was really just outside of
the Iron Age very simplistic life and
somehow that it's relative to the
Arabian Peninsula in the 7th century but
what does that have to do with us living
in the 20th century and this is part of
the disease of the Muslims that madina
munawwara was the best society that has
ever existed as a model for human beings
now the amazing thing to me is that
amongst the kuffar there are many people
now talking about what they call
communitarianism which is trying to
downscale cities trying to live in in
small scale communities where people can
actually get to know people and that
there's a sense of belonging and
community where the virtuous qualities
of human beings are literally inculcated
in the inhabitants of that area and this
is really at a theoretical mode although
there have been attempts within the
Western cultures of people disengaging
unfortunately we know that you have to
have a straight blueprint in the first
place for this to work if you don't have
a straight blueprint it won't work and
that's why they are always doomed to
failure ultimately now you will find
within the Western societies there is a
group of people the Mennonites the
Hutterites or Hutterites you have the
Amish people that really the what they
have going for them is simply that they
have opted to maintain tradition and to
oppose the radical impact and effect of
innovation in societies and the whole
idea of bida is a really important idea
in Islam the idea of an in
