 My son, my son of Islam, the Islamist, I don't blame you with a crown of gold, I'm not angry at you, I'm angry at the people who misguide you, who mislead you, who misuse of all your power, who give me the greatest gift of charity in Islam. Bismillahirrahmanirrahim, in the name of Almighty God Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala the compassionate, the merciful. I should thank you for the opportunity to be part of this normal program to promote peace, mercy and forgiveness throughout the humanity. When I look at the interfaith interconnect, I see the bridge. Our program today is the program to build the bridge of love and understanding among human humanity. And it's so appropriate for me to share the concept of Islam, because I want to be just to the host, the interfaith interconnect, to share with the beauty of Islam in terms of the words of Allah Almighty in the Holy Quran in Arabic. And inshallah please bear patient with me. Islam promote multiculturalism and diversity. I promote this concept in America, in Thailand and in Southeast Asia as I travel, because I was thankful to Allah Almighty for 50 years of my life to promote Islam and the beauty of Islamic education through many schools across the United States. So since Islam promote multiculturalism and diversity, and this evening is very appropriate. I will share with you the Holy Word of Allah Almighty God. I seek refuge with Allah from Satan the accursed. Inna akoramakum inna allayatakum inna allahalimul khabir The meaning in English, O mankind, surely we have created you from male and female, from Adam and Eve, and have made you nations and tribes, so that this is the purpose of God Almighty, who created all of us in diversity, so that you may know one another. You see that we have never seen each other, Ruth, we just meet you now, and I get to know you because of this verse God indicated, and Marcia too. So then God made a judgment, surely the best of you, or the noblest of you in the sight of Allah is the one who the best in conduct. So that's why that's the only criteria God Almighty will judge us is our conduct with one another with God himself and the human being that he created. So here in America, I found that Islam promotes diversity and multiculturalism. And when I look on the bottom map, I don't see Thailand, so I put it real big. So I have a Thailand map now on the map of the United States. Now what happened? America, multicultural and diverse society. Islam teaches us that all human beings are created equal by one creator, Allah Almighty. Humans are like tulips, my favorite flowers, tulips. And there are flowers of different colors coming together to make a beautiful color of human race. Marcia, you like to see tulips? Here we are. I know you have in your garden, front yard, even beautiful. People from all over the world migrate through the United States of America. It's a new opportunity for our few lives. Together they help create America, a new multicultural and diverse society. Therefore, America is the world's most diverse nation in the world. Diversity makes America so uniquely attractive and beautiful. And all of you, my viewers, this morning, this evening, you are so beautiful because you are the tulip of human race. That's what Islam stands for. Diversity makes our country great. What truly makes our country great is its diversity. I have seen that beauty in so many ways over the years. Whether we are born here or seek refuge here, there is a place for all of us in America. We must remember it is not my America. It is our America. Ms. Michelle Obama, our former First Lady from 2009 to 2017, where I went to the courtroom to testify. This was written July 29, 2019. Here you see them recognize this First Lady and the First Family. America is a place for all of us. And America is our America. Now we get into how does the topic for this evening, how does your community provide for those in need of forgiveness. Islam, in order to manage our life and the life of our community, we follow the Holy Quran, which is, and the source of information in Islam is Quran and Ahadith. Holy Quran is the words of Allah Almighty. Meanwhile, the words and the action of Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessing be upon him, inspired by Allah in the book form of we call Hadith and Sunnah. Let's understand what Rabbi Miller shared with us regarding the forgiveness. I found this definition of forgiveness remarkable, it fit my, my life in the courtroom in Lexington, you know, Kentucky. Forgiveness is the intentional and voluntary process by which a victim, this is I am, undergo undergoes a change in feeling in attitude regarding an offense. Let go for negative emotions, such as vengefulness with an increased ability to wish and to offer to wish the offender will. That what exactly happened to me in the courtroom. This is where I hug him. And I whisper to him. And I know it's only the first time in my life to meet him. And I'm sure that will be my last moment to be with him, because 31 years of imprisonment. Allah know best whether I will be alive. But I told him, if I were to be alive, I will welcome him out from the dark room of prison and bring him out from the light of the world and be a family. Since my last word that I advise to him my last advice to my dear nephew. Oh my dear nephew. I forgive. I have forgiven you. You may start a new chapter of your life. You must reach out to Allah Almighty God. Bow down to him. Bow down to him. And seek his forgiveness and seek his forgiveness. He will forgive you. Because prison is not the place to enjoy yourself. Very dangerous place. So I pray for his safety. Now, this is the first source of Islamic information and knowledge, which is the glorious Quran. Allah Almighty God addressed that would you not love for Allah to forgive you. This is the word of Allah in translation. Would you not love for Allah to forgive you? In my case, our younger son refused to forgive. After working for two years and seven months before the court time, because the night of murder he was with his brother. He was the first to receive the news from the three policemen at three o'clock in the morning that your brother not coming home. He stayed. So he was very bitter. He loved his big brother. So finally, the mercy of Allah grant upon me to comfort my heart. My son, the youngest one, able to forgive when he saw me hug the man. And he said, oh, Baba, I forgive him right away. After I saw you hug him, whisper at him and offer him the tissue. He's not a monster. He's a human like us. He just being made less for by the evil, the devil. So Allah loves those who seek seeking forgiveness from himself. That's mean from Allah and from human being. So this is the verse that helped me. Let comfort me so much because our family able to obtain 100% forgiveness to the man that hurt us so much. God said, Allah said, Almighty said, Allah. Let's see what translation inspire us. Allah Almighty God said, and let them forgive. Command me to forgive and overlook his shortcoming because that's his mistake, but you forgive him. And then God, Allah Almighty said, would you not love for Allah to forgive you. So I just to my five sons, because my wife, may Allah bless her soul, return to Almighty God mercy in your 13 months before our later son got murdered. So I just look at what Allah promised us as comfort as that. Would you love that Allah forgive you? Oh, Baba, yes, we like to forgive him just what you did. Now, then forgive him until the last moment, our youngest boy forgive. I thank Allah Almighty for so much for his mercy. Now, start to get into the topic, but this is a foundation of Islamic community that we use the Holy Quran and the teaching of Prophet Muhammad peace and blessing be upon him all the issue of any affair. The Imam and Muslim leaders, even Brahmunir Safi, he will use the Holy Quran and the teaching of Prophet Muhammad which is in the form of Hadith or Sunnah, the practice of the surah. Peace be upon him. Therefore, in Islam, there are two types of right violation, human right violation or two types of right violation. In turn, form two types of forgiveness, because you are violating somebody's right, then you have to seek forgiveness and then to write a forgiveness. The first right, the right of Allah Almighty. In Arabic, we call it the Hukukul law, the right of Allah. Right number two, the right of human beings in Arabic words, Hukukul Ibar, the right of his servant, Allah's servant. Remember, whether Muslim or not yet Muslim, we all created by the same God, Allah Almighty. Therefore, you have to respect every human being, whether they are in the same faith with you, but Allah Almighty is the same God to that person and to us. So you have to respect them so that you can respect Allah the Creator. Now come to the right of Allah, Hukukul law. The first person who commits sin against Allah is our father. And our mother, our father Adam, peace be upon him. And then our mother Eve, Hawa, peace be upon her because of their disobeying Allah. Allah asked them not to go near the tree so that will not be tempted by devil to eat the fruit from the tree, but because of the temptation. All of us every day, every moment will be him by the devil. Then Adam realized the mistake. So he prayed this and Muslim all over the world will pray this word from our first father and mother, Eve and Hawa in Arabic. Every day we recite this forgiveness, pray many times. Enjoy the meaning. I say this inside the prayer, outside the prayer. Sometimes while I was driving, I'm more the lawn and washing the dishes. I will recite it because I'm a sinner, 24-hour sinner. I sin by my eye, see something that is unlawful. My ears listen to the gossiping or something that's not permissible by God and in Islam. So I say this. Oh Lord, our Lord, we have wronged our souls. This our father and mother, Adam and Eve. Peace and blessing be upon them both. They commit sin, but they accept the mistake very most full. Then they reach out to God Almighty and say this word. Our Lord, we have wronged our souls. If you do not forgive us and have mercy, mercy, very important concept in Islam and on humanity, mercy on us, we shall be lost. So Allah Almighty forgive them both. However, they have to accept the consequences. Forgiveness is kind, but you have to get out from the heaven, from the paradise and live on earth until we are living on earth today because we are the children of Adam and Eve. Now, this is the most important thing that we are dealing this morning or evening is how your community provide the access to those who need forgiveness. This is the human right violation here. Violating the right of human being, Prophet Muhammad peace and blessing be upon him described in hadith. There are three things that none of you will shall violate of any human being or even animal. The cat, the dog, the cow, you cannot violate their rights. You cannot overload the donkey for instance, or you cannot mistreat the cat or the dog. But now we're dealing with the human being that the most noble creation of Allah God Almighty. Three rights. Don't even violate it. Number one, name and reputation, no gossiping, backbiting or lie against them. Okay. Number two, wealth and property. This is the right that no one shall violate. As a principle of Islamic school in America, I teach this so much heavily. So our seven Islamic school that I promote Islamic education. We have very peaceful environment, Islamic environment. Our son, he's right number two being violated because all of his belongings was robbed. And even pizza that he tried to serve the man. He got it and he ate the pizza too. He must be very hungry because he has involved in the drug. This one that really painful physical safety and life that our son lost. Now, the source that you heard you saw that from the holy ground. This one second source of information and knowledge. Hadith. Okay, before we get into the really action of problem solving and lead into the forgiveness. Prophet Muhammad peace and blessing be upon him said, it is not permissible for a Muslim to abandon his brother. For more than three days, three day. No more than three day is a cool off period. The title is say that three day as a cool off period during personal conflict. If someone abandoned him for more than three days. And he died during that period. He will go to hellfire. How serious it is very serious. He said again the following teaching. Prophet Muhammad peace and blessing be upon him say it. If someone abandoned his brother. In Islam we call each other with brother. Yeah. Sister. If someone abandoned his brother for a year. The scene is, it's like you are killing his brother. It's like a killer person. That's why Islam so much emphasize about human relation established the bridge build a bridge for understanding and love and forgiveness in Islam. It is permissible for two Muslim with conflict to have a three day cool off period during their personal disagreement. What happened here, however, it is considered a sinful act. If they do not reconcile, if they do not reconcile reconcile after three days, then that's lead to the second slide on the Hadith teaching. This is really the masterpiece for the Muslim to live in peace with with the community. Prophet Muhammad peace and blessing be upon him say it. People deeds are presented to Allah before Allah twice a week Monday. And Thursday. That's why Muslim follow Prophet Muhammad peace and blessing be upon him. We fast every Monday. We fast every Thursday. I'm fasting today. Okay, because I want to follow my beloved prophets. I will be love. But then he continued to say, and then every slave of Allah is trans forgiveness. On Monday twice a week. That's a very big deal. Twice a week Allah forgive his servant sins. Minor sin. The big sin is if he does not associate any thing with Allah in worship. This is the biggest sin that Allah will not forgive. But sin, any sin come to him with seeking his forgiveness he will grant it. But the person whose heart that is ranker. This ranker against his brother or sister will not be forgiven will not be pardon. With regard to them, it is said twice he still he still give time to his servant his slave hold these two until they reconcile hold these two until they reconcile. That's why I enjoy being Islamic school principal. But inshallah I have an example at the end. Okay, how could you enjoy being the principal solving the conflict issue, but I will share with you in Islam violating the right of humans are far more serious are far more serious than the right violating the right of Allah Almighty. Number one, when Allah right Allah's arriving violet. That person must seek forgiveness directly. Sincerely let Rabbi Larry said it directly and sincerely from Allah and the underlying he would always forgive. He would always forgive because he love forgiveness. In the, in the, during the holy month of Ramadan, we beg Allah for forgive. Okay, number two, when humans right being violet that person must sincerely remorsefully. That's what the I think rules mentioned that to seek forgiveness from a from the victim himself. You cannot go and go talk to somebody I forgive that man. I seek forgiveness from that man, but you didn't go to the one that you value the right that's not permissible if forgiveness is granted go to number B. He will seek forgiveness from Allah for violating the right of his servant. You see that. And that man killed our son. So he really violated the right of Salah Houdin. So southern Saudi already date. So I'm the father and his mother also date. So his father had the ownership of Salah Houdin and his five brothers. So we dealing with the one who killed him. And finally we solve the problem and we all both happy. Okay, so number B, he will then seek forgiveness from Allah for violating the right of his servant, which is Salah Houdin. We are a servant of Allah in Islam, servant or slave of Allah with the noble servant, the blessed slave. Now number C this serious. I'll go along with the teaching of Prophet Muhammad on the on the right on the left ski. However, if forgiveness is not granted by the victim, Allah will not forgive him. His deed will be hanging in the sky. Like on Monday and Thursday, like the cloud hanging in the sky will not be accept until reconciled until he makes sure that the one who had the right violence said, I forgive you. Now you can go to Allah. Allah will forgive you. Sure enough, he'll forgive. This is how the beautiful teaching of Islam. Now go to Prophet Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him. He was sent as a mercy for mankind. This is how he deal with the forgiveness issue, the murder issue during his time in Medina in Saudi Arabia, Medina. A man came to Prophet Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him with the killer of his slave in his hand. He hold his hand, hold his hand to come to the Prophet, so peace and blessings be upon him. There's a tool for he asked the Prophet to deal with it, like the state and so many issue Prophet Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him say forgive him. That he's advised the man, but the man refused. Prophet then take the blood money, but he, the man also refused. So the first thing is that in Islam, three things during the crime, the murdering crime, life for life. Allah said in Holy Quran, he can kill that you will not be wrong because he killed your sons. But that's number one, and we forego that one. Number two, take blood money. And in the United States instead of Kentucky, there is no blood money. So go to the best, which is forgiveness. That's why you saw the video clip from the Lexington Kentucky. So the man refused again. May I don't want money. I want him to be killed. All right. Prophet Muhammad wisely told him. Go and kill him. And for you are just like him like a murderer. So what happened with the man? Problem solved. So the man let go of him, let him go. So Prophet Muhammad peace and blessing be upon him is our divine role model that I use throughout my life. I use the in 30 some years in Islamic school solve a problem. But I use the, the problem mechanism. All right. Let me move this little bit. This is a mechanism we call the conflict resolution salam salam peace salami peace, like a religion of Islam name is religion of peace. So, Salam, start with. Salam is stating, stating that when someone come to my office, the shoot tools and come to my office with conflict. So I look at salam a s stating state the conflict a number to second step a agreeing agree the conflict exists. L listening, listening, listen and learn. And then a salam advising, advise each other. And number one number last that will lead to forgiveness, maximizing the spirit of Islamic Brotherhood Islamic, Islamic friendship and friendship that will lead to forgiveness. I will share with you my actual experience in the following slide. So this is a mechanism, the model that I use to solve my community, when people come with conflict and want to reach the state of forgiveness because salam peace model. Now, during my dealing with the students or the parents or the school board or the teachers. Use these three things. Number one, be sincere. In Islam emphasize heavily sincerity. Number two, think before you say and act upon what you say. Because you have to establish relationship with your students. Number three, speak from your heart. It will reach the heart of the people. This picture of my assembly. Now this example that I will share with you personal experience as the Islamic school principal in America. How does your community provide all those for those in need of forgiveness. Okay. It takes a courage for a person to say I am sorry. I'm sure you explained that through in your life, or even your own cell. It takes a courage for a person to say I am sorry. The problem is take a bravery for a person to say please forgive me, mom forgive me, dad forgive me. It takes bravery for the son and daughter who made mistake, but no problem. We have to deal with each other with unconditional love and affection. Now I have a example of case one case one is a form of conflict. This is what happened in my life, a lot. So these two friends sent to my office by the teacher. They have a physical fighting. What did I do? I put them, I greet them as salamu alaykum. Welcome to my office. I use my office as the face of education, not a face of press or make the kids afraid. I could respect me, but they come to me. Yes, yes. The time is up right. Ruth is time is over I think I am muted. Let's see. Well, you're, you're right in the middle of these two cases. So why don't you quickly finish them and then we'll end. That's it. I have to. I'll explain how that. So finally I was able to make the two students who conflict physically agree upon, and then both of them say this I'm sorry I was wrong. Please forgive me. And I forgive you for the sake of a lot. So job done for me as a principal solving the personal conflict of my student. Now the two father have to come before we suspend the two boys dealing with the kids is no problem in my life. Parents is the most critical one for me. They come to the point that the father came to my office. They blame each other for your son. Hit my son and you keep her fish. He keep her his last, but I was able to use my wisdom to make they come to the point they want to have physical physical fight in my office. I asked him to calm down and sit down and say I would be lying in a shite on the regime. I seek, I seek refuse from a law in a law against the level. Sit down calmly. I want, I have to say something. So finally, the long story short, I said that did your son kill the other son. He said no. Did your son kill the other son. No. You know that I, your principal, my son got killed. I use my real life case. My son got killed by a man I never know, but I forgive him. Can you forgive each other? Now they both cry. Then they say this was the same thing. They come and have king each other. I'm sorry. I was wrong. Please forgive me. Then I forgive you for the sake of a lot and then I call the boy that we already reconciled. The father came. The boy took to shake hand with the other father seek forgiveness from the father. The same thing we are the boy came and say salamu alaykum peace be upon you, shake the hand and see forgiveness. Now, both boys, very good friend, both father, very good man, they invite each other for the barbecue picnic. That's what we provide of a community in this capacity. This one probably too long for me to share with you because the time is up. This is a real case personal experience, a true story in America. A Muslim, her loved one got murdered. She was unable to forgive herself. She was unable to forgive the killer. So she left Islam real life crisis. How can I forgive when it hurts so much. So I don't have opportunity to share the story is a real story and journey in the real estate for more than forgiveness in Islam. So right here I am open your heart to forgive those who have wronged you. One who create your heart will forgive you. So what is in your mind that's what it is, but time is over. Okay, so I know that some people have other things they have to do and feel free to sign out. We are going to have another religion chat like we do every month on September 8, and we'll send you an email and we hope we'll see you then. And thank you very, very much for signing in today. And if you want to stay a little bit longer and ask some questions. I will, let's say we'll take another 15 minutes to do that. So, I have a question. How long did it take before you started thinking about giving forgiveness. When did you start thinking about the process of forgiving or was it immediate. From my personal experience with our sons. Okay. It followed as a father and the principle of thousand of kids and teachers in America, it won't take me long to forgive. I've been dealing these in my life a lot, but the most important, our five remaining sons. So I have to use my father, fatherhood to bring them along by using the teaching of Allah, from Holy Quran, and the example of prophet Mohammed, to whom he forgives all of people who hurt him during his lifetime. So, because they were the product of Islamic education so is one take long, except the last one I told you. So it takes the whole thing is two years and seven months but for me. I already forgave him before entering the courtroom. So seven, two years and seven months, but no one know that I forgive, but I already prepared to forgive. Does answer your question. Yes, because I know if I, this is a lifetime opportunity. That's why I told our sons. This is a lifetime opportunity to earn forgiveness from Allah by forgiving someone that hurt us so much. They agree that because they believe in the book of Allah Holy Quran and then believe in the example of prophet Mohammed peace and blessing be upon him. They agree and then we forgive because we can earn a lot forgiveness from his mercy too. So I am very happy with them. I took them to Makkah to perform Hajj even to give them as a, as a spiritual gift to perform Hajj right after the courtroom incident. Thank you for the question. Are there some other questions. Yes, please. Yes. Welcome. You're so handsome my brother. Thank you sir so much. Can you hear me. Yes, I can hear you I can see you handsome face from Edmond Canada. It's not really a question I just really wanted to say hello and, and I just want to tell everybody about how Dr jib mood save mine.

God bless him. So you saw video and you change your mind.

Thank you for come on over. My pleasure, sir, my friend. This interface chat program time make us who never know each other to know each other because this is the bridge that you the organizer have built for the humanity to come to know each other for the sake of unity of humanity. In Islam we have a unity in brotherhood. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, because we are coming from Abraham faith. So I teach the student in Islamic school, we are a cousin. So you have to respect and love each other. The other group is the children of Adam, all human being any religious organization only faith. They are our relative, because we have the same father, the same mother. So this agreement may take place, but you have to sing and deep. Take a deep breath. And then you before you react. That's why I think first before you say, and say, and act upon what you say it. So that you will not be hypocrite, be sincere in everything you do. And the problem will be solved the mercy of Allah Almighty God will come make you become a man, a woman of tranquility, peace within yourself, peace in your society and family. And this is because we need each other to love each other for the sake of Almighty God Allah, especially the least time the time of COVID-19 pandemic. We just have no time for each other. We just have no time for each other. We just afraid of everything. We don't have time for the mother son and daughter to spend time of quality time to love one another to hug each other, because they won't allow any hugging, not allow any hand shaking.
