reason that we find within our own
historical tradition that we learn and
teach that the when people were
struggling for the sake of God in all of
these various ways which includes the
most difficult form which is actual
physical struggle in combat that there
were many occasions in the history of
Islam in which the goal that was
intended could have been achieved
had
in treacherous but because the people
that were struggling with these
principles refuse to use any means that
were unacceptable in their tradition
they did not achieve the goals that they
could have achieved had they broke in
contracts had they betrayed trust had
they nullified treaties all of these
types of situations could have been used
if they said well our goal is so noble
we can use ignoble needs to achieve it
but because they didn't and we have much
historical evidence in our tradition of
this that was because of this
understanding that they had moral
constraints preventing them from doing
anything that would have been able then
to use those means the government also
ruled by the feel of wooden houses

yeah I do whenever he uncouth aha I'm

when I was at the helm of the photo back
a karma homologue and the mythology

apparently happy and this is why we
believe that those earlier people when
they fought and historians marvel at
their victories we believe that at the
root of their victories was the fact
that they were not using these means
that God did not sanction and because we
believe that if a human being
uses those means if he has a journey and
he wants to shorten the journey by a way
that is not permitted for him to do that
that heat that God will prevent him from
reaching his goal even if the goal is a
noble goal and that is why that they
they were given a victory in these
endeavors is because they did have these
principles behind them in many instances

ultimately PGA alia the LA and lip lock
the Marauder like in the philosophy know
that planets in Ibiza dr. Bashar be the
netcode well that's all a mechanic
pyramid in estate photography well I
look at it and this is why we have in
our own tradition salahuddin which is
called saluting an AUV the famous Muslim
ruler from that I Ruben who conquered
Jerusalem when he was fighting Richard
the lion-hearted there was a point when
his information came that Richard the
Lionheart was sick and one of the things
that salahuddin had done in his studies
was mastered the medicine of his age and
at that point in danger to his own life
he actually went and met with Richard
the Lionheart to treat him as a
physician and so he said that when he
did that that that what he was doing was
representing the the noble the noble
tradition he had he been Machiavelli and
on had he been wanting to use any means
to achieve his goal and he would have
been happy that his enemy was sick and
hoped that he died but that was not in
the nature of that person and so he
actually went to help that person had
that many panthan Hayami and a--they

know what is charitable effort knocking
oh yeah Alan and Miriam we're in a debt
he he I don't know then it was Olivia
well oh I imagine a on mouselina that
about usual
oh my god and so for this reason this
story is not for us amen
this story is not something that people
made up this is a actual methodology
that was being implemented which is a
prophetic methodology because what he
said was had Richard had salahuddin
wanted this man to die what he was
desiring was vengeance in his own heart
which is prohibited but he did not want
that he was struggling for the sake of
God not for the sake of himself and for
that reason when that person became sick
his state change from a competent to a
human being that that needed help and so
he said he said that what at that point
he moved to another principle which is
that there is a reward in treating any
human being whether they're Muslim or
not Muslim and so he acted on that
principle and that's why this that what
you did was in accordance with what we
understand that this this means the
tradition this is not anomalous this is
actually representative of what the
tradition is and that let me echo um
though there is enough of an innocent
well I mean next day we had the MS
Ellison behind our economy photo and
another on you know what I mean until
and the initial Hades in we do it and
the reason for this is that this was a
lawyer who was not fighting with his own
strength he was not fighting believing
that it was he who was going to be
victorious nor was he fighting for the
sake of his own victory but rather he
was fighting knowing that the outcome
was to God that it was God who gave
people victory in this world and it was
God who caused people to lose in this
world not one's own abilities and
efforts and also he was not destructive
for himself but rather for the sake of
God and because this was the background
in the basis of his actions this is why
what was reflected in his behavior was
as high as principal oh yeah I really
had a hard time sort of a long time that
you had because he also knew that had he
been doing this for his own sake that he
would not be given victory from God
because God would not allow that to
happen
he had anything for that reason we
believe that that is why he was given
victory is because he was the embodiment
of the highest moral principles
and if he can Yankee unfaithful when he
been invested in Sammy a telomere
Coulomb soft love of Allah he longed to
jihad the next fella in the bathroom and
didn't last and now in the holiday film
Exodus and then thirty Markkula mercy
she en el Adina Jo middle college Jo the
Isthmus forgiving Athena
like in the how the medical community to
here now elevate to the Methodist violet
an economic woman ah oh yeah
I love amiable LM obedient and for this
reason that when he was finally given
victory and came into this city he did
not have you been fighting for himself
had he been fighting from these selfish
reasons when he came in he would have
humiliated the people that he's been
given victory over and he would have
done the things that people at that time
would have naturally done when they were
given victory but instead when he came
into that city not only did he not
harmed those people but who actually
honored the people treated them with the
highest respect commanded all of his
soldiers not to harm any church not to
break any crosses
even though the Crusaders who have come
and occupied that territory that was
under the Muslim control they have done
a horrific thing but he did not go in
for vengeance of what they've done in
the past but went in for the sake of God
and because of that he adhere to the
constraints and struggled against his
own self suppressing those natural human
urges for vengeance Khedira by the
community men horrible he had from the
terrible mimic our sanitation assha they
also democra the Bible a teenager own at
the measured horrible Antigone in the
Levine dr. Norman and Co far too much
Catholic Ireland sadita Ali oh my own
momentum on the patella he resumed move
up or that other Liliana yoga and so for
this reason that the promise of our
incident when he came after 23 years of
opposition from the people of Mecca who
had fought him opposed him harmed him
and done all of these things after 23
years when he came with at the head of a
victorious army and some of his
followers as they were entering into the
city they suddenly felt like now they
were going to get back some of what they
had been dented in and somebody made the
remark today's today is going to be a
day of Muhammad which in Arabic is like
a day of slaughter and the Prophet
Muhammad when he heard him say that so
Allah said and he looked at him and said
today is not a day of slaughter today is
a day of compassion and mercy God I had
this Karami huh Mugen mccannon say if
there was any book what he had become a
high Bolivian at the car
i'm alejandra just forgot Allah Muhammad
was the part would rain whether a
bonfire was a melody name was a popular
well he had a Mecca
hunga hunga hunga I'm gonna be following
you on who is in it he was entering into
this city and there were two people in
that city one of them had killed one of
the most beloved people to him who was
his uncle and he had actually chopped
off his nose and his ears mutilating him
on the battlefield in humiliation and
there was another person who had paid
him to do that but actually cut open his
body and took out his liver and bit in
it and shoot it and spit it out as an
act of contempt for this man and these
two people were in that city when the
Prophet Mohammed salat is them was
entering in with his army man had and
now have thank you my love and we'll get
some more languages we'll see how would
I thought I had to have any such thing
and then each I had against a lady on
the other schooled in that well I just
go with that and I'm a good villain and
the father but whatever was the Garmon
topic amino acid in Muslim and I feel
after I talk about like in the movie the
director Tomas
is Rambabu mother and so for this reason
when he came into the city there has
been four people who had done a
particularly horrific crimes against
Muslims in their persecution and torture
and killing people and those people he
put on abyss of capital that they would
be punished with capital punishment but
from those people was not those two
people who had actually Massacre and
have mutilated the body of his uncle and
he said that this is the day of mercy
when you came into that city those two
people when they saw the state of this
man
and forgiveness of his show that his
people they came and they embraced his
religion and when they did that he
actually sat with them and took them
into Islam and they are now considered
to be a companions of the prophet Elijah
known as Abba and they're honored by all
Muslims and he said that that these two
these two people that the public
Alliance one of the fact that he
embraced these two people is testimony
to to this mercy that he showed these
people way that kind of had that Emily

led you in her a little able to sleep
well I can't develop an Allen higher
animal human had Gd Nina and she had
laid a little Google button machine
idiotic what happened the definite
article machine when I was little I
never Google so for this reason at the
root of all of this again is that jihad
is in our understanding it is to
remember Harlem it is to remove those
things which harm in the society and
this is not in order to punish others if
that is the intention it is not you have
the the the point of it is to remove
aggression from somebody so what is
being fought is the the harm that is
coming from that person not the actual
person themselves it is simply the harm
and that is why the people are not
then we have no difficulty or problem
envisioned in conviviality with those
people but it is when there's an element
of farm there that jihad one of the
types of jihad is to repel that honor
and to stop that aggression and then the
shape said and if this is our
understanding as I presented it to you
of combative jihad then because of the
element that is very distasteful to
people in any type of violence and it's
an attempt to elevate this this aspect
of the human being and it should be
understood that the other aspects of
jihad are have even higher and more
exalted principles and understandings

being opposed here is valium in a cosmic
faith who know how to hit my Mahina
sorry to come in an hour
nothing when I retired you could eat the
third key language I had at the Embassy
so for that reason I returned to my
first premise and that was that we are
in diary that you had today in the world
and I would put in those categories
economic jihad we need to remove the
that economics is having on human beings
that there's elements now within
economics because economics is now
serving selfish interest and not serving
a human being and the the store are
consuming the weak the rich get richer
and the poor get poorer and then the
weak because they're in that situation
began to have contempt and hatred for
the rich and and so again we go back to
that imbalance we need a jihad in our
politics in see a second that the the
point of politics is in order for human
beings to have social order and justice
and when there's harm that begins to
come from the political systems
themselves then there has to be that
those homes have to be stopped and it's
early Apple II that Martha and the corn
header society the economy Akram our
goal should never be to achieve power
that in the world if the goal is I want
to be the ruler and that's my jihad is
to remove the present rulers then there
is a misunderstanding the goal should be
to rectify those who are in power to see
them and who are now causing harm to be
brought back to the truth and to be
helping people in utilizing their
positions of authority in ways that
benefit human being we are an ADEA Ghul
and I believe in Islam it is hardly able
with an embellishment I needed happy
when I heard when they enacted by never
and this is why Imams are always used to
say a famous Egyptian scholar he said
anyone who tells you I watch a rule in
the name of this around he is a liar
because he said that the point is not to
rule in the name of Islam but the point
is to be
interpreter constraint and actually be
ruled by principles of justice and truth
and goodness that that that is what you
should want not to rule others but that
yourself is ruled by those principles
that you would like to see in others and
he said we are also in need of a jihad
and knowledge that the knowledge is now
that human beings have arrived that are
not being used to the best benefits of
human beings but actually much harm is
coming from those knowledge --is and so
we have scientists out there that are
using their knowledge to develop and I
wanted just to add one example to bring
this home the in during the Vietnam War
and one of the things that one of the
things that we did and I say we need
America we used a chemical weapon called
napalm and so what the Vietnamese and
the Viet Cong needs to do in the
villages because of all of the civilian
we're actually haunted by this bond when
they caught and as euphemistic term
collateral damage
they built pools of water and they used
to have in the villages pools of water
so that if the village got hit by napalm
they could take the women and children
and put them in those Helene and so some
very clever American scientists
developed a type of napalm that was not
affected by water so that when the
person went into the water it still kept
eating their flesh and I'm sure they
were probably very nice people that
maybe lived up in the suburbs or
something or Los Altos went to church on
Sunday and probably felt good about
their work but this is the type of youth
that our knowledge is that have been
given to help people end up being used
for
all people and so we need we've got
people genetically modified foods that
they don't really know what they're in
all these things so that you have that
you find out knowledge is gonna be
hotter that will remove that harm from
the knowledge and then he said we also
need a jihad in our houses so that our
families are protected that domestic
harm is protected that children are not
harmed in their houses that women are
not harmed in their homes that our
children are being protected from the
harmful influences in society and that
they're being raised with with proper
principle and ideal that will make them
beneficial citizen and then we get back
to the real source of all of it what we
really need at the root of all of this
in the jihad against our own individual
souls that each one of us has to commit
to struggling against their own worst
impulses in themselves I feel for what
in that land
when my opponent and Athena could
actually have ten tiny affinity huh
without your knowledge
Leviathan earlier and what you will see
the solidus tyrannically under this new
morality I gotta a lot understand so the
point is is that we don't live for
pleasure that our lives should not be
just pleasure principle that is
motivating us so that everything we do
is somehow to give us personal trainers
but rather we use instead of making
pleasure a goal in and of itself we use
pleasure in this world as a means to
giving us the ability to sustain our
struggle in the world for the highest
principle of human beings
this people they repair asking that God
show all of us the truth and give us the
ability to follow the truth and to show
us what is false and give us the ability
to avoid what is false and the ask that
we hope that all of the hearts are given
life and given guidance in their hearts
and above her faith and what if you
