 ونستعينه ونستغفره ونتوب إليه ونعود بالله من شرور أنفسنا ومن سيئات عمالنا يأيه الله فلا مُدِلَّ له ومن يُدِّل فلا هادِى له واشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له واشهد أنَّ سيدنا محمدًا عبدُه ورسولًا يأيه الذين أنُرِطَّقوا الله حقَّا تُقاتِه ولا تَمُوتُنَّ إلا وأنْتُمُصْضِلُون يأيه الناسُ اتَّقوا ربَّكم بُالَّذِي خلَقَكم نفسُوا واحدًا وخلَقَ منها زوجها وذفَّ منهما رجالًا كثيرًا ونشاءًا واتَّقوا الله الذي تساءَدون به والأرحام إن الله كان عليكم رقيبًا يا أيُّه الذين آمنوا اتَّقوا الله وقولوا قلًا سبِدًا يُصلح لكم عمالكم ويُوفِلَكم ذلوبكم ومن يُتْرِ إلاه ورسولَه فقد فازَ فوزًا آظِمًا أما بعضُ فإن أصدقَ الهديتِ كتابُ الله وخيرَ الهديهِ هديُ محمدٍ صلى الله عليه وسلم وشَورَ الأمورَ محدَفاتُها فكلَّ محدَفةٍ بِرع وكلَ بِرعةٍ بَلالة وكلَّ بَلالةٍ في النار الحمدُ لله الحمدُ لله الذي هدانا لهذا وما كُنَّا لنهتَدِى اللو لا أنهدانُ الله الحمدُ لله الذي أنزلَ على عبدِه الكتابَ واللم يجعلَه إِوَجَى الحمدُ لله رب لا ألمين وكل صحةُ بِلالةُه المحدُ of all the worlds كل صحةُ بِلالةُه الذي يُقومنا بِلالتُهِ المحدُ منه لم يُقومنا بِلالتُهِ المحدُ منه الحمدُ لله صلى الله عليه وسلم ومن يحلِهِ اللَّهُ فَلَا مُدِلَّ لَهِ ومن الله يُقومُ بِلالتُهِ المحدُ منه ومن يُقومُ بِلَتُهِ المحدُ منه ومن الله يُقومُ بِلالتُهِ المحدُ from the mother of God ومن الله يُقومُ بِلالتِهِ المحدُ منه الله يُقومُ Super, Allah is the Most-Larve الله يُقومُ بِلالتِهِ المحدٌ منه وخالقنا بِلالتُهِ القضاة يجب أن يتنظروا على المسلمات أو يجب أن يترون الناس لتصوير الناس لأعطاء الناس لأعطاء الناس لأسطار الناس لأسطار الناس لأسطار الناس لذا، من يجب أن يشارك أن يكون فيه? هنا are many who would not be guided by your words but you might find the light you possess to be irresistible In other words sometimes guidance or error are not related to rational processes كما ذكرته الامر is a light that Allah cast into the heart of the believer و this was after a lifetime spent rationalizing and trying to understand at an intellectual level various proofs for God, various arguments for this or that aspect associated with the divine ولكن سنكمل عالم يكون فقط لدينا أردن وصدقائي. ليست محبوى على أحد الفهم. أصدقائي أمير أكثر. أصدقائي أمير أكثر. نحن قد قررنا الحصول لأكسفان. بأن 62 أشخاص يقومون بعمل أكثر موضوعاً than half of humanity. بأن أكثر 62 أشخاص يقومون بعمل أكثر موضوعاً than the bottom half of humanity. ماذا أسلام يقول ذلك؟ أسلام يقول كثيراً عن ذلك. حما think as Muslims were too weak or too poor to distribute enough wealth amongst people to even that divide. Now it's not about how much wealth we have, brothers and sisters, it's about how much light we have. It's about how much life we mentioned recently in another venue. و الله سبحانه وتعالى و القرآن ، يقول ، الله نور السماوات والأرض ، الله is the light of the heavens and the earth. و قد جاءته من الله ، نور و كتابه مبين ، there is come to you from Allah a light referring to the messengers ، و كتابه مبين ، يعني ، بالنور محمد ، الذي انار الله به الحق ، he means by the light Muhammad by which Allah illuminated the truth and he describes the Qur'an. و الله يتكلمه as light and of course that is an incomparable light and he describes his prophet as light ، صلى الله عليه وسلم ، and he describes his scripture as light. فالذين ازهوه ، فالذين آلنوا به و ازهوه و نصهوه ، و تابعوا النور الذي منزل أمعه ، أولاكهم المفلهون. these are the lives of the Prophet. صلى الله عليه وسلم is not love as he loved. The best defense is the share of the mercy that he showed, صلى الله عليه وسلم. The best defense is to approach children, the way he approached children. The way he approached that Hassan was that Hussein و أمانة and the other children from the Sahabah. ومع the best defense that had the patience he had and the forbearance he had to strive to have who never attained it but to strive to have the strength of connection with Allah SWT that he has and that's the best defense of the Prophet عليه الصلاة و تعالى because if we do those things as a community and there are millions of us in this country and over a billion worldwide there will be a qualitative change in the nature of this world you are an employer, treat your employees the way he treated his servants the equivalent of his employees that's the best defense أع illustrated of his memory becoming dim and he wrote a accomplishments He complained to my kids teaching me memory getting a little dim فأخبارني بأن الإلما نور. He instructed me that knowledge is a light. نور الله لا يهدى للأسي. The light of Allah that He doesn't give to a sinner. Knowledge is light. Though Quran is light. The Prophet is light. And brothers and sisters, all of us are meant to be lights. We are the ones Who illuminate the darkness. We are the ones Through following those lights Provide lights for humanity. We are the ones And so we should be praying that Allah makes us light As the Prophet ﷺ taught us When he made a prayer It's a prayer he's making for himself But he's also making it to instruct his ummah. So he prayed في قلبي نوران Put a light in my heart And we should all pray for that وفي بصر نوران And in my vision Put light in my vision وفي سمعي نوران And put light in my hearing وعلى ليسالي نوران And put light on my tongue وعن يميني نوران Light to my right وعن يسالي نوران And light to my left وعن يدي نوران And light before me ومن خلفي نوران And light behind me ومن فاقي نوران And light above me ومن تاهتي نوران And light beneath me اللهم اجعني نوران اللهم make me a light So we should be praying that Allah makes us a light And makes light in our heart And our hearing And our seeing And our speech To our right and our left Before us behind us Above us beneath us So then we can be guides brothers and sisters So as I said It's not about how much wealth we possess In terms of making a contribution To address these gross inequalities of wealth It's about how much light we possess So we can direct people To start thinking in different ways This situation is a direct result Of people thinking in certain ways about wealth It's a direct result It's a direct result Of people being distanced From the teachings of the prophets Be that at the time of Christ Who the Christians refer back to Being distanced from the teachings of Christ Who forbade usury The Catholic workers movement Started by Dorothy Day The whole movement was built on Taking seriously the prohibition of usury Because this mid 20th century movement In the United States Saw that most of the economic problems In this society were rooted in usury Religious teachings forbade that Religious teachings encouraged charity And you say What is billionaire as a charitable Bill Gates gives him a $2 billion a year Okay if we accept That the reports that he has $60 billion That is invested in these hedge funds And say he's getting a 10% return That's $6 billion And he gave away $2 billion He's still profiting $4 billion Where's the charity in that? Where's the charity in that? It's a direct result of people Being distanced from the teaching of God So we have to instruct people Not Give your wealth away That might address the problem for a day or two But we want a long term Resolution Don't look at the wealth as your wealth So what does Allah tell us? Allah tells us We're at who of whom In man into the attack Give them from the wealth of the law That he's given you This is God's wealth It's not your wealth You didn't bring it into the world with you And you're not going to take it out Out of the world with you And you know that So it was a result Of people Being ormanted And moved By Allah سبحانه وتعالى To put that wealth in your hand as a trust It's Allah's wealth It is not your wealth You're a trustee You're a trustee of the wealth And being a trustee You have to honor the rights and responsibilities That come with the trustee-ship And amongst the greatest of those rights Those who have less wealth Than those 62 individuals Those almost 4 billion people وفي أمواليه وفي أمواليكم حقم معلوم لسائلي والمحروم وفي أمواليهم حقم معلوم لسائلي والمحروم And their wealth That they're custodians of Because Allah they say Render unto Caesar That which is Caesar In the Bible right And we'll render unto God That which is God Islam says Caesar And what Caesar possesses Beyond to God And so at the end of the day It's all service to God That's all from Caesar And from those under the authority of Caesar And for Caesar's wealth And the modern day equivalence حقم معلوم There's a well-defined right لسائلي والمحروم Those who ask in those Who ask in those whose circumstances Prevent them from even asking They shouldn't have to ask In other words Because the right they have Is recognized That's what we offer The world brothers and sisters That's what we offer The world a different way of seeing reality But it starts with us seeing reality Different it starts with us Even recognizing The nature of reality And that there is no reality Without a loss of Hanawata There is no reality without God That's the first Most fundamental Concept idea Associated with Understanding reality It's توهيم لَا إِنَهَا إِلُّا الله لَا إِنَهِلُّا الله And when we acknowledge that When we recognize that We understand that The wealth in reality Is Allah's wealth The rights that the poor people Have were rights established By Almighty God The responsibilities that the wealthy have Are rights established By Almighty God Looking at things differently And what Shaytan is trying to do Is to remove Allah To highlight it from the equation And when we remove Allah From the equation They were left with base Human behavioral patterns Evil is not a function Of a political system We have to understand that Economic justice is not A function of a political system Where the capitalist As the emerging Buswazi came to power What did they say? We're going to create An equal distribution of wealth That the kings And the monarchs Have not created They hoard their wealth And then they pass it down And they claim that the power The authority, the wealth they had Is a God-given right The divine right of kings We're going to change that And the suffering that results We're going to change it Yeah, we have capitalism And there's 62 individuals Having more wealth Than the bottom half of humanity Is a direct result Of capitalism And so the communists came And they said We're going to be just We're going to end the capitalist state And the associated exploitation And what happened? They were just as corrupt Their inequalities were just as great As under the capitalist Look at the old Soviet Union The communist party Or look at communist China today That's still their name Look how much money The heads of the party have And the business people Who are loyal to them Look at how much money they have And look at what the average Chinese factory worker has And it's communist China Just as corrupt Just as great inequalities As the capitalist And the same is true In the old Soviet Union Brothers and sisters It's not about the system So we're having an Islamic state We have the Islamic Republic of Iran Look at somebody like Who won't say any names A schoolteacher Who became the prime minister And enriched himself In his whole family Iranians here know Who I'm talking about Just as much corruption Look at the Islamic state We get a political oppression In the so-called Islamic state People being killed In discriminant need People's wealth being usurped The fruits of lifetimes Of labor being burned And smashed Where's the justice in that It's not about the system It's about the human being himself Or herself And change doesn't come Until we change ourselves In the Allah You change maybe You change maybe And the meaning of that Is from good to bad But it works the other way also We have to change And we change And we see ourselves As just a compilation Of blood and flesh When we see ourselves As light When we see ourselves In non-material terms And by moving ourselves Away from the material We can see ourselves In spiritual terms And in seeing ourselves In spiritual terms We can envision The connection we have With our Lord At a spiritual level As a reflection Of that light This is what we call The light of Allah Symbolized by the sun Which is the source Of all light To be clear Was reflected in his Most perfect human form By the Prophet Just as the full moon The batter Is the most perfect reflection Of the light of the sun The stars are guides The stars are lesser lights They're guides When do they provide their guidance They provide their guidance When the batter is gone Because when the batter is there The light of the full moon is so bright The light of the stars is drawn out So when the Prophet Was here some Allah And said to him He was a guide To everyone who chose to be guided There's no choice But when he's gone Now the stars are visible Now the stars are visible But if the stars are extinguished Post there to guide So brothers and sisters Don't see yourself as Some A homo-economicist I don't know if that's a Latin word Just as this economic actor Don't see yourself as Homo-sapien Just as this thinking Being See yourself As light See yourself at a spiritual level And that's what you have to offer The world light That's what you have to offer The world And that has nothing to do With your political status Political power On lack thereof Has nothing to do With your economic status Economic power Or lack thereof It has nothing to do With other people Love you I hate you It has to do With the state of your heart And that's something We have The ability To control قد أفلح من زكاها و قد خاب من دساها أقل قول لها دستغفرا لي ولا تن لسير المؤمنية و قد استغفر الله الحمد لله رب العالمين و الصلاة والسلام على سيد المرسلين إن الله و منائي كتاه يصالون على النبي يا هائي يهلدين أاملوا صبوا عليه وسنبوا تسليه هيماء أخي أخي أردنا و نرى نفسنا و نرى نحن نحن لدينا نحن لدينا نحن لدينا نحن لدينا نحن لدينا نحن لدينا نحن لدينا مسابقud يا ليسا أن نبي لستنك أحد من المساء Our wives of the prophet, you're not like other women If they're bickering about having this or that from the dunya or not having this or that That's not your concern And we're not like other people We shouldn't see ourselves like other people We are the ones who are the followers of the last prophet Sit to humanity for the guidance of humanity That being the case, we can't be concerned About this petty dunya affairs People are concerned with Do I have the latest car or not Do I have the latest bit of wardrobe That's fashionable All my clothes are too baggy I thought Muslim clothes are supposed to be baggy I know it but the dunya says it has to be skinny now Are my skinny jeans skinny enough They go on too easy Something must be wrong They have new ones You can spray paint on Oh, I'm getting those That's the status of the people who are sent to follow the last And to take up the mission of the last messenger sent to humanity Brothers and sisters, you're better than that We don't have time for petty concerns Especially when people are trying to wipe religion Not just this not only religion From the face of the earth So there's no source of hope There's no source of guidance There's no source of looking at reality From a non-materialistic viewpoint We have work to do brothers and sisters And as we said It starts with simple things Within our various realms and capacities But it starts with us seeing ourselves As something other than What the world is trying to make us see ourselves as أظر مغفير المسلمين والمسلمان والمؤمنين والمؤمنات الحياء منهم ولمات ربنا لا تزكلوا بنا بعد ذهبتنا وهبلانا باللدونك رحمة إنك أنت
