tribulation you are Shafi this is your
tradition your Activa is a sound a PITA
and you believe in two skia this is your
tradition hold to your tradition and
don't let people pervert your tradition
and all traditions need reassessing this
is the job of the scholars you have to
reassess things always there's TV you

should not be in that's true all that is
true but don't let that be an excuse to
throw the baby out with the bathwater no
don't let that be an excuse this is my
warning to you because you're the people
of Malaysia are good people generally

generally that I've been here three
times I'm amazed at the kindness of your
people I'm amazed at their
thoughtfulness I'm amazed at your add up
I'm amazed at your gentleness well I I'm
telling you the truth I'm and you still
have smiles on your face despite what's
happening in the world you hold on to
what you have hold on to the love in
your hearts this religion is about
loving each other in the medmont monona
aqua the the movements are brothers and
sisters were in solidarity and anyone
that wants to so division and strife be
reminded of what imam ali said aljahmeir
to massif wa Maluku Dora
Hiram men El Fattah man a Massif wa that
the group with its impurities is better
than the sect or sectarianism with its
purity did you hear that the group with
its impurities is better than
sectarianism with its purity so one to
those people that tell you that we're
following the the Panaji that were the
only people that are rightly guided all
these people are astray no
these are Muslims they say Lenehan Allah
Muhammad Rasul Allah they deserve
dignity they deserve their honor some of
them are astray at Hanukkah Ramadan
se-yeon hassanover ofrece yeah they mix
good and bad that's true
Allah says surah al kitab and ladina of
afina many budino we have given this
book to those we have chosen from our
people from our servants Furman who
amongst them very mundane FCE he's wrong
in himself he's still Mustafa Allah spa
Fajo he is still from the chosen men
whom Wadi Meninas woman who mocked us
hidden woman whom sat upon bare Herat be
is in Allah and amongst them are the out
strippers all of them are from this
Ummah and we should love all of them and
care about all of them and have rahman
our hearts for them and want to see them
make tawba and now in conclusion
towba if you look at this planet
everywhere you look we have strife
everywhere you look we're seeing
environmental degradation you're a fish
people you you historically Malaysia has
has lived on fish
we've lost 80 to 90 percent of the fish
in the oceans that people eat 80 to 90
percent the fish have been completely
depleted from the ocean there's us us
the foremost expert on jellyfish lives
nearby in new zealand nearby relative to
where i'm from
she did her PhD at UC berkeley and she
wrote a book called bloom about the
jellyfish that are taking over the ocean
the jellyfish are now taking over the
oceans jellyfish are spineless mindless
they have no brain and they have no
spinal course and and their consumers
they just eat plankton they're taking
over the ocean because this is the ocean
is metaphysically representative of
human consciousness and this is what's
happened to the human being we have
become spineless mindless consumers like
jellyfish we're like jellyfish and just
as
the jellyfish are taking over the oceans
the spineless mindless consumption is
taking over the ocean of consciousness
people now without thinking they consume
they don't think about future
generations all of this all of this
that's happening on the planet it can't
go on
you cannot keep producing the garbage
that you're producing we cannot keep
consuming at the levels we're consuming
if people consume at the level of the
average American around the globe we
will need three Earth's to supply all
the goods we represent five percent of
the population we consume over twenty
percent of the world's natural resources
we are mobile Jeanine and Allah says in
and mobile arena counter wanna shell
pain that those who are extravagant are
like brethren to the demons they're like
brethren to the demons we should be
turning away from this fortunately we
have people in the United States that
are speaking out against this
consciously we have people that are now
where I come from we have people that
are downsizing that are going to small
houses that are getting off the grid we
have people going back to simple farming
techniques because they realize this is
untenable it can't continue on but
they're not enough and this is why
you've here in Malaysia you have to
think all of this affects all of us
we're a global community the part and
the whole cannot be separate anymore and
those that are polluting in one place
the pollution is affecting others in
other places we have now radiation has
affected us we know that the Fukien what
happened in Japan it's affected us the
radiation is levels of increase there's
a massive the size of Texas there's a
garbage pit in the middle of the Pacific
Ocean between you and my country is a
massive garbage pit the size of Texas
this is what we're doing to the planet
Allah says the herald facade Oh Phil
Baroni well bury bamako Sabbath Eden s
the you the poem bag on the emiru
landowners your own and this is in Sura
Turin
in the in the chapter called the
Europeans that corruption has manifests
on the land and in the ocean because of
what humans are doing with their own
hands and a lot allows that to happen do
you the poem in order to let them taste
the harm of what they were doing that
perhaps they might make Toba that
perhaps they might turn to God we have
problems all over the planet we need a
global Toba we need people to turn back
to a loss of Hannah Montana we need
people to understand we cannot continue
we have children I have children I think
about my children's future I think about
the world that they're going to inherit
but not just my children I think about
children all over the world I travel all
over the world and I see education
levels in Africa are abysmal education
levels in Ferguson America in Missouri
are abysmal that there are there are
people that are neglected simply because
of the color of their skin there are
people that are neglected because they
don't have that socioeconomic status
these things are wrong and we need to
work as a community the Muslims should
be sure had that an S we should be the
witnesses unto humanity we should be the
ones showing the world
that's what allah subhanhu wa tada
quantum hydrometer Aquajet Vanessa you
are the best OMA that came out for
humanity not for yourselves
he didn't say quantum hair omitted
origin liam Fujiko he said the mask for
Humanity why because you enjoying what's
right you forbid what's wrong you
condemned vice when you see it and you
believe in allah subhanho wa tada this
is the function of our community we
should be condemning what's wrong we
should be encouraging what's right but
the prophets all the lights have warned
us he said man to me the Mirage Adina
come what Sufi could be man
well the Hara to Xena was sheriffin
Bunyan he said what are you he used mad
he didn't even say man who are you he
said what are you if your religion
becomes confused and you start shedding
blood and you your luxurious and you
manifest all your luxury and your
buildings become exceedingly tall what
are you man - are you fulfilling your
purpose this plan
NEADS global Tova there was a time in my
country in the United States where the
presidents used to tell people when they
had difficulties to fast they had days
of fasting that were actually national
days of fasting in the nineteenth
century where they told everybody to
fast and to ask God forgiveness this is
a United States of America it's no
longer a Christian country we don't even
know what it is I don't know what's
happened to my country all I noticed
when I was a kid
nobody had tattoos now everybody has
tattoos when I was a kid everybody got
married now people don't get married
other than homosexuals like nobody gets
married the only people that want to get
married are the people that used to not
want to get married
Annie Leibowitz brilliant writer from
New York Annie Leibovitz
was asked about that she's a lesbian she
was asked about she said when I was
young that's why you were a lesbian so
you didn't have to get married and she
said or you said you were a homosexual
just to get out of the army he said now
that's what everybody wants to do so I
don't know what's happened to my country
it's changed a lot and you're going to
get the same diseases in this country
you will get the same thing if you allow
these things in without thinking about
what you have your families will break
down you'll start building old folks
homes instead of taking care of your
parents you'll just put them in to let a
caretaker take care of them this is
already happening in some Muslim
countries this is what happens because
the Western civilization is a package
deal don't think you could just take
part of it Arnold Toynbee said it
doesn't work like that you get the whole
thing and that's why you you you're a
creative people you need to be more
creative really you need to be more
creative you need to think about
Malaysia being a model country you're
one of the best Muslim countries there
there's a few Muslim countries on this
earth that that I go to and I I think
and I'm do that there's there's some
Muslims that are actually normal and
they're funky
and Malaysia is one of them and may
Allah bless you and keep that will lion
may Allah bless you and keep that so
Imam and Noah we in his in his famous
book called really sorry mean he has an
introduction the first Bab is applause
that's the first chapter is sincerity we
need sincerity but the second chapter is
Toba we need a sincere Toba to belittle
aji Yemen you know turn all of you
together back to allah subhanaw taala
the Prophet said a stop few durable
convenience tough little ma Sabrina Mara
as forgiveness of your lord because I
asked forgiveness every day at least 70
times the prophet who was sinless he had
no sin and yet he's asking forgiveness
of our Lord we need to ask forgiveness
Allah the Prophet SAW I sent him told us
he gave all the diseases of the world in
his final address he said that the blood
of jahiliya is over there's no more
revenge in my religion and he's the
first blood he put down with Robbie
right
even at hadith then I've been a part of
his own family so if anybody was going
to take vengeance it would have been his
family he said no and then he said so
this jihad Lee hatred it has to end and
in our tradition we have the ability and
dr. Elahi who's one of your Muftis here
will confirm this the prophets all I
said I'm said that it was permitted for
a Muslim to give security to anybody he
can give security to people but these
people don't know the Sunnah of the
Prophet if we give security then they're
supposed to honor that and let those
people go they don't do that anymore
because they don't know the Sunnah this
woman who went on television on YouTube
to speak to these people that are
holding her son hostage she had a better
understanding of Islam as a non-muslim
than these people in in Iraq had she
said I studied your religion and your
religion says that one soul is not held
to account for what other Souls do
that's a zero a zero to Mesirow ultra
and she said my son's not responsible
for what American foreign policy does
and then she said and then I read that
your Prophet Muhammad he had amnesty and
he and he forgave people so I'm asking
for my son back she said I just want to
hug him
now that's one woman and I know that
Muslims have untold suffering I know
that if you look at what's happened to
the Iraqi Muslims at the hands of these
people it's worse than all of the
Christians but they only talk about the
Christians I'm aware of that I'm very
aware of that and it should all stop but
for me the most important thing in this
religion is the preservation of the
honor of our prophet sala de san em when
we harm each other that's what we do
amongst ourselves but when we harm
peoples from other religions and other
cultures it harms our religion it harms
our religion and that's why it's so
odious to me all of it is bad what the
Jews in Israel have done to the
Palestinians is is heinous and
condemnable it's heinous and condemnable
but what muslims who claim to be muslims
are doing to people in these places is
to me more heinous because when it
Israeli attacks a Muslim it doesn't
affect the religion of Islam but when
these people attack innocent people
it makes our prophet people think that
his religion was a cruel religion and I
want to end with a quote by Amir on the
father of Josiah one of the great
Muslims of the 19th century who died in
1883 he said when we think how few men
of real religion there are how small the
numbers of defenders and champions of
the truth when one sees ignorant persons
imagining that the principles of Islam
are hardness severity extravagance and
barbarity it is time to repeat these
words Sabra and Jamil Ilan Mazda and
beautiful patients and our help is with
God does our Kamala Harris in America
