level of islamic activities now is based
on anger frustration complaints it
should stem from understanding of our
legacy and no umma no nation in the
world would succeed if it abandons its
history its legacy and turns against it
and it is one of the signs of the day of
judgment on the prophets of allahu
ta'ala alayhi wasallam says lenta palma
sir heta Alana are here who had the hill
Oh mattia one aha the hour will not come
until the last generations of this Ummah
would curse the earlier generations and
this is what we are witnessing now Islam
has been spreading in the West and
especially in America here in the past
50 years in the wrong direction with
small exceptions in some communities and
some individuals and we need to change
that to bring the spirit of unlistenable
jamar to bring the spirit of the ulema
to bring this great legacy that is
almost also disappearing in the Islamic
world with the in vain
of Western academic institutions
faculties of Sharia and other faculties
were everyone can join Christian Muslim
non-muslim sectarian from any group can
join and get a degree in Sharia but here
in the West we have an opportunity now
to spread the way of anniston AL
jumeirah built on civilization on wisdom
on spiritual growth of the individual
taking care of Islam a man at the ice on
the three together in harmony with
people like you insha Allah but this
takes a lot of efforts and takes a lot
of sacrifice if we sit at home and think
that Islam is going to spread know there
are people actually who are distorting
the image of Islam and working on the
opposite direction we don't want to
engage with them in any fighting any
conflicts I would like to confirm with
Jack Ramsay said here our job is to
build and share Hamza I reminded him of
the poem the builders he knows it he
said it was part of the curriculum
people used to memorize here in schools
longfellow anyway we need to build
architects of life it says in the poem
so we need to build we need to work not
to engage in in fighting my father gave
me this advice and it's a precious piece
of advice he said never engage in
refutation and one of the basic pieces
of wisdom we learned from the aroma is
the following lanta mckinsey a lil b-
donec never lend your ears to a deviator
never lend your ears to a person of
Oberon's because the moment you give him
your ears then he owns you he has
control over you that is to say a drop
won't leave any traces on a rock but
continuing dropping on the same spot we
leave some impact after a while so just
listening all they need from you is to
listen to me Fox News yeah I wanted to
call to cut the news this is actually
brainwashing brainwashing processing
the news in the media so all they need
from you is just to listen listening
once and again and again then we'll make
you convinced this is the truth and this
is by the way this is what is called now
situational ethics or what just turning
to imam zaid what Martin Luther King jr.
called relativistic ethics in one of his
famous speeches in the 50s when he
talked about it's wrong because no one
is doing it and it's right because
everyone is doing it this is the
situation of ethics so they make you
believe that because this is the common
discourse its rights and everyone is
speaking it because everyone is
practicing it this is right you go to
the mosques now you find all people
practicing a way of prayer or a way of a
beta often against a discernible jamar
you speak to people mostly people are
convinced of principles against at a
Sunnah wal Jamaah and they make you
believe because of the number of people
and the common practice and the common
discourse that this is correct we have
become actually two away in Islam almost
similar to the Western way here that is
situational ethics as it's called now or
relativistic ethics this is very
dangerous in mammalian have you told him
Quran allahu ta'ala which are one of the
iron laid down a rule that i believe it
could easily defeat the foundation of
modern democracy and it's very important
people don't pay attention to it it just
destroys the foundation of modern
democracy referendum polls and so on he
says laterally feel haha original or
like a narrative in hospital if Allah
you want to know the truth don't look
for the number of people who are
embracing the truth establish the truth
through its proofs and then see who is
practicing the truth who is embracing
the truth the truth lateral hop original
is not by the number of people all
democratic systems now our meals
on the number of people the majority of
people and they made us believe that if
the majority of Muslims are doing it
then it is right if no one else is doing
it it's wrong so I know brothers who
learned for example there Dean to play
the hand of you way they go to the most
they see they see everyone is playing a
different way they start imitating them
they believe they're wrong then didn't
study just were taught by their parents
so they think they are wrong so they go
to follow just the Salafi way in the
mosque because everyone is practicing
the other way no it's not the opinion of
the majority a lots of Hana Hana defeats
this premise in a foreign key when he
says wanna act our own a conf harasta be
momineen not the majority of mankind
even if you persist will be believers
that is to say it's not throughout the
history of Islam it's not the majority
who are going to be Muslims actually the
minority throughout the history of
humanity and this has been beside the
Quran also clarified in sound Hadees as
insane for example the prophets are
among town rd houston mcs man tom
fitness in like a charlotte it babe or 4
30 S word okish art is so def is
thoroughly and fel amongst humanity
amongst people and mankind you're like a
white hair on a dark bomb or a dark hair
on a white bulb this is the percentage
of Muslims and the professor lockdown
does have explained this in several
other hadees in one hadees he made the
proportion on the day of judgment out of
every thousand people there will be 999
in the fire and one person in an agenda
so we don't take it by a number we don't
take it by the majority we don't take it
because it is commonly practiced we
don't take it because everyone is saying
it now we have to establish the path of
truth and a lot of people will argue
with you so you have to be deaf the best
solution is just to be deaf neta
Mackenzie around can't be me know the
lake Allah has given you two ears to
absorb knowledge i feel myself if I hear
something i would pick it up
this is why you have to be always with
people who speak the best language who
have the best practices who tell you
things that are good and right otherwise
you should actually put you know block
your ears so when someone opens a
conversation to argue with you this is
vida or this is Sunnah then say brother
if they are close to you relatives or
closer friends to you don't open the
subject again I don't want to argue if
they insist you just leave them and the
problem is they are trained and the best
example I could bring to you from your
society here like Jehovah Witnesses they
are trained they know how to present
their case and they present their
fallacies in a beautiful way that looks
like in a real proof but it's just void
of any foundation but you don't know it
you don't know how to how to refute it
how to counter argue their promises so
you feel how do you think sometimes that
oh it makes sense and this is what they
want the first thing is to plant some
doubt in your minds so the bestie is not
to listen to them because they're
fallacies of course wants em in front of
the scholars they won't be able to
present their fallacies in front of
scholars this is why they come to people
like you and they are fanatic they don't
want to change the subject they don't
want to change their minds and they
don't want to change the subject
according to West insertion his
definition of a fanatic sometimes
there's some wisdom you pick up from
here and there when you read I told them
yesterday it takes a lot of efforts for
a man coming from the Middle East to
speak in America it takes a lot of
efforts because you need to read the
culture study the language listen to the
news and you know follow up just to to
keep up to date and when what's going on
go ahead please yeah I'm done with it I
just want to say that sher muhammad
should put you to shame in terms of
English and just forget about arabic and
I really mean that you know and the
thing that I really appreciate about him
dr. omar said the thing that he really
gets upset about as he said you have
khabar here in America who have been
given hot before 10 15 20 years on the
mimbar and they can't speak English
still you know they they they speak poor
broken sentences they don't study any of
the language or the culture and he said
it really upsets him because he feels
that he's being insulted as somebody who
converted from this culture or
civilization to Islam and then he
listens to people that haven't taken the
time just to learn his language in order
to speak in it and that's one of the
secrets of the prophets Elijah them they
said can I yet akala mo kenney atacando
movie coolio a be written beelaha jetty
ha while my Astacio min hat you know he
used to speak to every clan with their
particular dialect and then he would
speak in what they preferred of their
dialect in other words it was the
highest language in ya say 'cimmanon BMC
anthem suffer when he spoke to the
people of Himyar he spoke in their
language and when when oma habib came
back from hibachi she gave him a shirt
from ethiopia and he said mashallah Sena
Sena which is Amharic for very nice it's
the language of Ethiopia and some of the
ultimate took it as proof that he knew
all the languages if he wanted he could
have spoken in any language but he that
he spoke she was coming from habash and
he said Sena Sena it's Hassan Hassan
it's a nice garment and every time that
I see him hit the language is more
sophisticated than it was the previous
time so you know that's the thing if you
if you put some effort in Allah gives
you increase in openings and things like
that but we have very few scholars from
the traditional world that can come and
and speak not only in a high level of
English but with the the nuances of the
language and of the culture and for me
it's sad when your wit gets lost on
witless people
maybe one of the most important reasons
for keeping up my English actually quite
formal and hamdulillah on that literary
style is that I don't live in America
the Americans are good at many things
but definitely not at the English
language with the exceptions of what is
Stephanie one with the exceptions of
some forwards of course and good writers
in the post ami common Americans
actually is terrible actually I had a
journalist once in New York City in the
islamic center after the scene to my
speech she said your English is
marvelous would you or excellent where
do you study I said nothing not in
America she was she was embarrassed
anyway actually that's what I wanted to
say any ending up just the words advice
on not listening to people of deviation
at one point or another you have to
build up your own group of brothers
sisters those of you who have come here
and made friends here maintain reviewing
what you started exchanging your notes
and then study further because the
beauty of our way is that we're studying
texts and the text you can take at home
our public talks are reminders of a lot
of hannah ouattara or sometimes just we
entertain the soul the mind the heart
and you go at home so that you can
change but there's not text with a
public talk to refer to other than some
notes if you carry with you your pen and
paper which is recommended and you
should do always when you move that you
carry your pen and paper notebook
wherever you travel but apart from that
it's only the text that we are teaching
that we hope that you maintain them you
go home you review your notes you could
change them if there is any
misunderstanding of course we are
available teachers are not disappearing
although some are traveling i'll be
travelling myself but we're not
disappearing there is a follow up we
will follow up with you inshallah
clarifying anything that could probably
be misunderstood or any ambiguous
sentence
this is the type of knowledge that we
received from our teachers there is a
text if there's anything wrong we say
the text is an authority I will not
teaching modern text also that could be
arguable we're teaching texts that have
been proven through history century
after another this is why I say for
modern works if anyone writes a book
here now in our modern time it argues
about issues that already settled by the
faux pas let them survive for 200 years
and see how they will be looked at after
200 years we're teaching manuals of
people that have been studied elaborated
on reviewed over centuries and as Imam
as Chef Ramsay said the malachite school
is not the opinions of imam malik the
same also similarly the hannaford school
is not the opinion of abu hanifa so
those people who come with claims that
this figure is not suitable to our time
they are building it on a fallacy that
the hanafi school or the Maliki school
is the opinion of imam malik laid down
1200 years ago or more no school of
people is a production of the greatest
minds on the face of the earth for
centuries ongoing but persisted is
ongoing for centuries until our time in
the Medicaid medhelp until let's say
1345 probably the last of the greatest
Medicaid move decision made it was Ernie
and his collection 13 volumes of fatawa
has a lot of insight and insightful
opinions in it just 13 45 and sometimes
he does it not HD had but he doesn't RG
between or TR between a lap one
according to the development the
progress of people they think these like
abortion they were all dealt with these
issues even modèle will be done medela
belong it's just you know so most of
modern issues are tackled actually we
have the same also in the hannaford
school the process is going on and these
methods are not you know opinions that's
freezed 1200 years ago or more and then
we have to apply them a matlab is
developing and scholars of course of
authority scholars of author
hmm and then stop apart they are ranks
each method like in the hand of female
there are seven ranks of scholars from
unlaid a blind follower who see this is
how that applies it to you have a mushed
ahead in the Med hub a man who has
authority to give his opinion in the
matter seven ranks in the hanafi madhab
and these ranks are known in each method
in every meth lab and the gr eight TR
and so on and with fatwa people of fat
were people who would select people who
would give preference to opinions so
this is what we need to understand the
fallacy is that these people bring are
very obvious that they're all Emma but
difficult for you to refute so this is
what you should do you should always
turn away from people don't read read
such literature don't listen to such
people build on your own group your own
circles and start studying with each
other start deliberating on what you
have studied this is the most important
challenge that we are facing now amongst
young people in colleges in schools with
MSAs with other organizations people
come together and this is the worst
thing that we are receiving when people
come to us so you know you can do a lot
of good work and save us a lot of time
if you just protect your ears and keep
in good company as a prophet of Allah I
honorary he was ill of advices us I
don't want to remind you of what I see
it because I think all my talks were
just a piece of advice after a piece of
advice on how to prepare for the day of
judgement how to prepare for the
hereafter how to select our friends how
to purify our hearts how to prepare for
the sacred knowledge in web New Jersey
gave us a marvelous advice that we
benefited hopefully from and last but
not least I would like just to thank
shaykh hamza demamp zaid for just the
secret order they have given me to be
here with you and to sit with you and
talk to you alhamdulillah it's a great
honor for me to meet any true believer
any sincere Muslim and transmit
knowledge to them because otherwise you
know what lucky i have little actions i
have literally works and i don't know
that i would be surviving on the day of
passing over the bridge or not but I
hope that with the with the good
intentions that you have and with the
drug that you make for me and with this
opportunity ma has given me to transmit
knowledge to you that a lot of panicked
I forgive me my sins and let me pass
over the bridge of the day of judgment
with all of you in charlotte sakanathyah
