12) Quran Study: 1/25/90

Study From Behrouz 212, Behrouz's Khutba, Edip Yuksel's Exposure

(0:11) The reason for this book is because we had a visitor from San Francisco and she came by to check us out and unfortunately she got shocked because the way we were treating the guard messenger. (0:27) According from Quran, the verses 6, 8 says, they also said if only an angel could come down with him, had we sent an angel, the whole matter would have been terminated and they would not have been respited. (0:49) Chapter 6, verse 9 says, had we sent an angel we would have sent him in the form of a man and we would have kept him confused. (1:01) 43.53 and 6.50 says the same thing, say I do not say to you that I possess the treasures of God nor do I know the future nor do I say to you that I am an angel. (1:14) I simply follow what is revealed to me say it is the blind the same as the seer, you do not think. (1:24) 6.58 says are they waiting for the angels to come to them or your Lord or some manifestations of your Lord? (1:35) The day this happens, no soul will benefit from believing if it did not believe before that. (1:43) So keep on waiting, we too will wait. (1:49) Are they waiting until God comes down to them in dense clouds with angels, the whole matter will then be terminated and to God everything will be returned. (2:09) They are waiting for the angels, 6.33, they are waiting for the angels to come to them or until your Lord's judgment comes to pass. (2:19) Those before them did the same thing, God is not the one who warned them, they are the ones who warned themselves. (2:28) 11.12 you may tend to disregard some of that which is revealed to you and you may be annoyed by it when they say how come no treasures come down to him or an angel? (2:44) You are only a warner, God controls all things. (2:51) 15.7 says why do you not bring down the angels if you are truthful? (2:58) 15.8 says we do not send down the angels except for a specific purpose otherwise no one will be respited. (3:06) 17.92 says or unless you cause masses from the sky to fall on us as you claim or unless you bring God and the angels before our eyes. (3:18) 17.95 says if the earth were inhabited by angels we could have sent down to them from the sky an angel messenger. (3:27) 25.22 the day they see the angels it will not be good news for them, they will say we are irreversibly confused. (3:39) 43.16 if we will we could have made you an angel colonized in the earth. (3:48) I wish to God that among us there would be anyone that did not believe in God's messenger because God's messenger is alive and well among us and we just have to obey. (4:06) Constantly Quran repeated you have to believe in God and obey his messenger. (4:12) Right after the God comes the word of messenger. (4:14) You have to obey the messenger. (4:24) Now a couple of weeks ago our brother Muftasham talked about the responsibility but today God willing I am going to specify our responsibilities which is God's will that we are in this right now. (4:40) And believe me anything happens in this masjid I have seen it with my own eyes. (4:45) Just last week in the computer room Dr. Khalifa was writing the new perspective and there was a word it would not go to the computer that was not God's will. (4:57) It took some time either it was shorter or longer. (5:00) And it took some time till it went to the computer. (5:03) That was God's will Alhamdulillah. (5:05) So anything happening over here Alhamdulillah it is just like God is looking at us all of us right in here and it is a very very crucial moment. (5:17) So we have to obey this responsibility. (5:23) Now God is telling us how to fulfill this responsibility about our messenger. (5:29) We shall not argue with the messenger. (5:32) There is no way whatsoever we can argue with the messenger. (5:36) That is arguing with the word of God is God's messenger. (5:41) And when a verse says that after if you die before age of 40 you go to heaven that is it. (5:50) We cannot ask him why. (5:52) If you have any problem you can ask God because his job is to just deliver the message. (5:59) 633 says we know that you may be saddened by what they say. (6:05) You should know that it is not you that they reject. (6:08) It is God's revelation that the wicked disregard it. (6:14) Unfortunately last week that is fortunate actually. (6:19) Dr. Shakira came from San Francisco and she is a very very strong believer. (6:29) If she was not she would have left the message because she actually said it herself that I am confused the way we are treating the messenger. (6:42) We cannot have any opinion or any suggestion. (6:45) It is just the word of God. (6:49) And if you all remember the story of Moses and his teacher. (6:54) He kept interrupting him. (6:55) Why did you kill that? (6:56) Why did you make a hole in the ship? (7:00) We are not supposed to ask these questions. (7:03) When the right time comes we will find out ourselves. (7:09) 49.1 says O you who believe do not place your opinion about that of God and his messenger. (7:15) You should reverence God. (7:18) God is here on mission. (7:21) The reason is because we might hurt the messenger. (7:24) 9.61 says He is a mercy for those among you who believe. (7:30) Those who hurt God's messenger have incurred the painful retribution. (7:38) 33.57 says Surely those who insult God and his messenger, God condemns them in this life and the hereafter. (7:50) 33.69 O you who believe do not be like those who hurt Moses. (7:57) God absolved him of what they said. (8:01) He was in the sight of God honorable. (8:03) 34.65 says Recall that Moses said to his people O my people why do you hurt me even though you know that I am God's messenger? (8:17) When they deviated God diverted their hearts for God does not guide the wicked people. (8:24) All you who believe 41.2 do not raise your voice above the voice of the prophet nor shall you shout at him as you shout at each other. (8:37) 49.3 says Bless your words become nullified while you do not perceive. (8:46) Surely those who lower their voices at the messenger of God are the ones whose hearts are prepared by God to become righteousness. (8:59) They deserve forgiveness and great recompense. (9:07) 49.4 as for those who call on you from outside the wall most of them do not understand. (9:16) We cannot call Dr. Khalifa come over here we want to go let's do the prayer. (9:24) We cannot do that. (9:26) This is it doesn't bother him personally but this is it's going to nullify our work whatever we have done. (9:36) God says on 49.5 had they been patient until you come out to them it would have been better for them. (9:44) God is forgiver most merciful. (9:48) As for any communities this community we have to have the discipline according to God's law that we have to follow. (10:01) Now I'm just going to give you an example that is outside example it's probably the human and devil kingdom but you cannot and you will not call President Bush by his first name. (10:20) Have you seen anyone call him by his first name? (10:22) If he was here right now with us he would wear all the suit and tie he had millions of bodyguards and he would come sitting just like that. (10:32) But messenger is the position that God has given and this is the highest point position in this world and we have to follow God's word. (10:45) God called him messenger. (10:48) So the newcomers they come outside they see us we have a Friday classes when they leave they don't know who was the messenger who was the student who was the teacher everybody is laying down some people are sleeping please we have to cut this off because this is against God's law against God's rules. (11:12) Please over here this side of this door be very formal when you go outside when you go inside to Rasulallah just call him Rashad or whatever you want as a friend but when we are here in this side of the door please let us be example for the newcomers we don't want someone at the airport they come over here they call him Rasulallah and then we call him Rashad. (11:41) It's funny when there is someone coming from outside they tell us what to tell him. (11:45) Now God already called him Rasulallah. (11:48) God positioned him as a Rasulallah so we have to I mean this is up to everybody whatever they want to think about it but this is God's rule this is God's law this is the rule we should have among us. (12:03) This is a very very crucial moment that we have to take heed and understand that we are so busy with the miracle of 19 he forgot the small things over here and one is please you can call him Rasulallah Mr. Khalifa Dr. Khalifa please when you are having a study group don't call him by the first name first name is me or you or others but he is Rasulallah. (12:36) God is teaching us everything even the manners how to treat each other and Rasulallah please bless him. (12:48) Last conference that was my first conference I didn't know many people I only knew Dr. Khalifa, Susan, Lisa and few other people because of my last visit for couple of days. (12:59) At the time of conference I was sitting on the right hand side facing the microphone I was leaning to the bookshelf and I was watching the whole group there was a gentleman among us he would not leave the meeting he would not come in unless Dr. Khalifa turned to him or accidentally see him he said can I go and he would go and that gentleman was Sami that is his son. (13:31) And y'all I just have to thank you this is the thing that every one of us we have to know this to learn it we have to learn this system this is mine and all of you I am sure is the first messenger we do not know how to treat and last time I probably said something wrong and I called Dr. Khalifa I said I am very sorry you are my first messenger and I don't have no experience about it. (14:02) And so as for all of us it is no problem we just don't know but that doesn't mean that we just have to keep following whatever we have been doing. (14:14) Now God says on 2462 the true believers are those who believe in God and his messenger and when they are with him in a community meeting they do not leave him without permission. (14:32) Again God says exactly the same thing those who ask your permission are the ones who do not believe in God who I am sorry who do believe in God and his messenger he put the God and his messenger first sentence and then get the permission and then the second sentence he said these are the ones who believe in God and his messenger. (14:53) This is very very crucial and important and just from this verse we get millions of things about how to treat the messenger it is just completely different with anyone else on this earth. (15:15) My brother just mentioned to me verse 7 surah 7 day 1 God says O children of Adam you shall be clean and dress nicely when you go into the mosque you shall eat and drink moderately God does not love excesses. (15:47) Now please again brothers sisters I love you that is why I am talking about this if there was someone outside I would not I would tell my children I would tell my mom because I care about them and please when you come in freedom is a beautiful word but when you are in a group when you are in a society when you are in this community (16:17) it is completely freedom but having respect is different so please I want to ask you I love you especially the ones I know they have the same feeling about me too but this is the word of God please do not lay down we have the I know for some of us it is very uncomfortable to sit down but believe me it is very uncomfortable in the hell too. (16:40) It is only 2 hours and if you are sleeping please sleep at home and come later it is not bad I am sorry please don't get mad at me because we all we don't notice we just do not notice these things we think if you go to a class do you lay down and make a position like you are in Hollywood and take a movie (17:09) if you can sit down properly the teacher is over there you have to follow him believe me back home we could never ever put our food on the top of the table every time you put it down so these are the rules please this is we learn it from each other from the society from God especially from Jesus Christ that we have to follow especially for our message (17:42) and also something else I want to leave as a parent believe me if you are in that room if one child run from here to there it is like an airport to me believe me I was there 2 days ago in the afternoon there was no one in the office I was taking care of Ahmad's children beautiful but they just went to get the pillow bring it back over here and they slept I couldn't believe it (18:10) as soon as they run over there I don't know what happened the reaction over there is just like an airport now Friday night Rasulullah, Susan, Lisa, Emily they are here they work 19-20 hours a day they need the rest now after this class meeting everybody all the kids they get up they bring the pillows they have fun over here (18:37) please take care of them I will write them down please last time I forgot all my notes like this today I have everything from the right the other point the subject that I want to talk about is it is about ego the ego as a God have you known that the one whose God is his ego consequently God sends him astray knowingly and steals his hearing (19:28) and his mind and places a veil on his eyes who then can guide him after such a decision by God would you not take heed please this is a very very sensitive point very sensitive action that most of the time without knowing it we just pass through it then later on we find out about it then we got to be sorry about it (20:01) the other point is out there there is a word they call it intelligent smart entrepreneur so and so genius whatever this is not this place's word this is not God's word the only intelligence of God is repeated in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 17 16 (20:31) 17 16 17 about 18 verses that I fill up 5 if God calls intelligence only to the one they believe in God and follow God's system that's it God doesn't care if you are real estate you make billions of dollars good for you if you are genius good for your parents that's fine but when you come to this class please as you take off your shoes please take off your shoes (20:59) take off your ego take off your genius hang it on a tree and come again I'm just telling you as a friend because I try my best to do it and believe me every night when I go home I repent and I ask God if I did something right today please forgive me I ask God for 4 months to be here in this classroom to be close to his messenger and I have the right to answer him but now I'm just going by the rule that please God if I make something some mistake please forgive me (21:30) so if someone tells you this and that this is because you are brothers you are sisters and I really appreciate the ladies we men have to learn from it become a gentleman because I haven't seen any ladies to lay down or I just love it (21:50) Salam (22:35) Allah (22:36) Allah Speaker 9 (22:45) Allah (22:48) Allah (22:51) Allah Speaker 1 (22:51) Allah (22:56) Allah (22:58) Allah (22:58) Allah (22:59) Allah (22:59) Allah (22:59) Allah Speaker 10 (23:22) Allah Speaker 1 (23:33) Assalamu alaikum (23:35) Assalamu alaikum Speaker 4 (23:54) Go ahead (23:57) Listen please (23:58) No Quranic study is not the place because other people come in (24:03) What this khutba reminded me was the Islam that I have been giving away all my life (24:13) This reminded me of my teacher in my grade school that told me to shut up put your intelligence outside and come in and listen to what I tell you and what God is telling you (24:24) We are intelligent people we have I tell my friend Behrooz you are just a newcomer sit down listen this system is working if you want to make changes don't push it don't ask us to change everything in overnight and go to a system that is all the religious establishment outside is like that (24:45) You go to any religious establishment you can't see the guy whoever it is you have to go through steps to see the person you want to create that we have it outside you don't have to come here (24:56) I don't agree with 99% of what he said personally and I would love to hear Rashad I usually call him Dr. Khalifa to come out and say whether he really believes that this is the system he wants (25:14) I don't object to Quran (25:16) I can sit down and read Quran and follow it and see whether I am doing something wrong but if I come here and see Dr. Khalifa is available for me this is something that people see different from others (25:30) I am not saying that I can insult him you see me treating him or calling him but other things that you put your intelligence outside and come in that is asking me to be a follower eyes closed ear closed and just follow him this is not right (25:48) Ego yes I say ego yes but intelligence this is what God gave to me and to everyone to do that Speaker 2 (25:57) We will discuss it tonight and there is very good reason for saying what he said and like Susan said he only read Quran so together we are going to read this and our choice is to follow what God is saying Speaker 4 (26:08) I would love to hear what you have to say but if you want to put the Quranic study to discuss it that would be great Speaker 1 (26:14) Please I am not breaking the rules I just read it from the Quran Speaker 3 (26:18) No where in the Quran doesn't say don't call with name we call Muhammad with his name we call Moses with his name (26:24) No no it is not true (26:29) But we shouldn't say that Muhammad only by itself we shouldn't say Moses by itself we shouldn't make distinction between them (26:36) They are not here they are not here I will discuss it tonight but you can leave your ego outside or stay with it Speaker 2 (26:43) If you have any ego don't come in here you can stay with it Speaker 11 (26:48) I want to discuss the subject because (26:51) I will be discussing it Speaker 2 (26:53) You insisted on it so the human being generally is just a hard core criminal and we have to know that in order to solve our problems (27:11) In August we have a problem that caused our dismissal from God's kingdom not once or twice but a few times (27:27) And then God gives us lessons in the Quran to teach us that we are rebels (27:36) Otherwise why does God put in the Quran those lessons those examples from life (27:45) The biggest surah in the Quran the longest surah is entitled the Haifal (27:54) Even though it is a surah it is full of all the five so called pillars of Islam (28:01) Are in surah number two (28:04) The orders to pray the orders to fast Ramadan the orders to give zakat the orders to make pilgrimage (28:19) The rules of marriage divorce war they are all in surah number two (28:25) But the title indicates the importance of the subject that is within every surah (28:33) And God chose the title the Haifal (28:37) So what is the Haifal? (28:40) The Haifal symbolizes the people who are with the messenger but they are rebels (28:50) And they give the messenger a hell of a time (28:55) This is what the Haifal is all about (28:57) So if we are fortunate we will learn from this (29:01) And we will catch our rebellious nature and correct it in order to be redeemed back to God's kingdom (29:09) To get rid of the rebellion and to correct it (29:19) Moses told his people God orders you to sacrifice a Haifal (29:27) So what did they do? (29:34) They said are you kidding? (29:38) He said I seek refuge in God lest I be that ignorant And you know the rest of the story I am not going to tell you the story of the Haifal again But why is God putting it there why God is putting so much importance on it And giving the name of the title of the surah from that incident why? (30:05) It is for us to learn (30:07) The same story happened this afternoon (30:11) Very similar story (30:17) The fortunate ones are the ones who learn from their God given lessons (30:28) We love each other very much and we know that we are in the purification process (30:37) We are being purified (30:39) I love Hameed very much I don't know if he is here or not (30:43) But today after a discussion with some people about the way he was dressed (30:52) He was dressed in a short and a sweatshirt (30:58) And then they asked me what does God say about dressing for the mosque for the message (31:05) I said there are two things in the Quran one of them says dress up for the mosque (31:12) And one says dress modestly (31:19) Okay so God says it is like God says sacrifice a Haifal (31:24) God says dress up for the mosque (31:27) So what did he say? (31:29) He said how do you dress up for the mosque? (31:33) It is the same answer that was given to Moses right? (31:39) We are human beings those were human beings and these are human beings You know we are applying for a job in God's kingdom We are trying to go back and we are applying for a job So if you have an interview for a job why would you dress? (32:03) Would you go in a short and slippers? (32:07) Of course we don't want to be that formal but I mean we have to be reasonable So I have to explain how you dress up for the mosque God says He said oh children of Adam Dress up is a good translation for that Every time you go to the mosque Why? (32:43) Why is God telling us to dress up every time we go to the mosque? (32:53) I mean does God see finicky or what? (33:01) Why is he telling us to dress up for the mosque? (33:05) How would you like it to go to the mosque and find that everybody looks terrible and stinks? (33:13) What will happen? (33:17) I mean this is what we are doing (33:23) We are not following God's command (33:29) So we have to learn from our lessons that God has given us (33:37) There are reasons for calling it the Heifer (33:41) And emphasizing this story and over and over and over throughout the Quran (33:48) We see the children of Israel, the story of the children of Israel (33:51) Believe me it's happening, everything they did (33:53) That's why God put the children of Israel in the Quran (33:56) Because we are doing the same things (33:58) And these are God's chosen people (34:04) What color is she? (34:06) These are God's chosen people (34:07) We are not talking about the rebels of the rebels (34:12) We are talking about the chosen ones among the rebels (34:18) So with this introduction I am going to see how we all of us collectively feel about this (34:27) Glory be to God Speaker 10 (34:29) I think men have to be honest (34:45) You know just bear away (34:55) You know women have the same feelings as men (35:05) It's finally brought out that way (35:12) And you know very distracting (35:14) And sometimes it's really hard to talk (35:16) Maybe you can't listen to them (35:17) God addressed both the men and the women to subdue their eyes Speaker 2 (35:24) Both of them (35:25) So God wants us to help each other in this way (35:31) Linda! (35:44) Speak louder Are you saying the same thing that Lori is saying? Speaker 7 (35:50) Oh Right It can be distracting as well I really agree with the responsibility lies within each one of us And the fact that we feel that way We need to first feel that way We need not... (36:20) In our community it will hinder each other To be in a situation where... Speaker 3 (36:38) I want to recall something about the footwear (36:43) I use the target for the footwear (36:46) That's right (36:47) Some people know and some people don't know (36:50) Indirectly with target (36:52) And some people (36:54) I know they are gossiping (36:56) And they are inviting (36:58) And it's really very disturbing (37:02) I just want to share with you these three pages (37:09) First of all I want to say I am a sincere believer (37:13) I know myself (37:14) I would say it's not legal (37:16) You know if you are sincere (37:18) People around you can judge that you are sincere (37:21) In Turkey when I heard this message (37:24) Thank God from Rashad (37:27) God put me in the greatest (37:29) I gave up everything that I had until that time (37:33) I gave up from my thousands of readers (37:37) I gave up from my job (37:39) I gave up from my family (37:40) From my father, mother, sisters (37:43) Each friend (37:47) And I accepted when I first heard that Rashad says I'm a messenger of God (37:51) I accepted without any doubt (37:54) I said yes I can (37:57) I had no ego in this case (38:00) And now some people just want to accuse me (38:03) That I have great ego and I do worship (38:06) I worship my ego (38:09) It is very easy accusation (38:10) Oh somebody who takes questions (38:13) Discuss a subject he doesn't understand (38:15) Oh you are egoistic (38:17) You are worshipping your ego (38:18) It is very easy (38:20) And for some people (38:21) They want to show that they are protector of the messenger (38:25) From whom? (38:26) From believer And that by the believer And accuse a believer And that time show yourself You are protector of the messenger You love messenger more than everybody What kind of race is this? (38:39) Is there righteous race? (38:41) I want to share some verses from Quran (38:44) Bismillahirrahmanirrahim (38:45) Only those who possess intelligence will take care (38:50) God always says intelligent people will take care (38:55) The other verse (38:57) You shall not accept any information unless you verify it for yourself (39:02) I have given you the hearing, the eyesight and the brain (39:07) And you are responsible for using them (39:10) These are two verses from Quran (39:12) And God says in Quran (39:14) Believers are brothers (39:17) And all you who believe (39:20) You shall avoid any suspicion (39:22) For even a little bit of suspicion is sinful (39:25) You shall not spite nor shall backbite one another (39:29) This is as amongable as eating the flesh of your dead brother (39:33) Because he cannot defend himself when you are backbiting him (39:40) Now in this Rashad (39:41) If you have your permission (39:43) I want to talk on the Qutbain (39:45) There are some points which (39:49) I want only to ask questions (39:51) First, Bahru's brother said (39:55) We shouldn't call him by his name as a Rashad (39:59) Which there is a mistranslation of verse 2463 (40:03) Which could you please open it? (40:07) 2463 (40:10) It doesn't say don't call him by name like you each other (40:14) Don't take his invitation, his request like your invitation (40:20) Because he is leader, he is messenger of God (40:22) You must obey him (40:24) But in respect of calling him with name (40:26) It is human being like us (40:28) And all messenger has been called with their name (40:32) And even now we call Muhammad as Muhammad (40:34) Moses as Moses (40:35) God says they are human being like you (40:38) What kind of difference God show us (40:41) Which respect is their difference we must respect (40:44) And which respect they are like us (40:47) They are walking in the city, they eat like us (40:52) This is not what is mistranslated (40:56) Do not treat the messenger's request (40:59) As you treat each other's request (41:01) And also in the content if you look (41:04) Some people they do not take serious invitation of the messenger (41:08) And they are wavering (41:10) And the second point (41:11) We shouldn't discuss with him (41:14) Why? (41:17) Doesn't he make mistakes? (41:21) Only God doesn't make mistakes What about verses 60-12 What about that first 60-12 Here from Hadith, Quran, Hadith and Islam The verse 60-12 The title is obeying the messenger is condition on the mind Nor disobey you when you are right That means believer sometimes They may see something wrong and they can criticize Even they can that time they can disobey This is condition 60-12 What chapter? (42:13) Chapter 60-12 60 Yes 60 Yes Here in this book it is underlined Nor disobey you Nor disobey you messenger when you are right Or in translation may be righteous command Obeying the messenger is condition What is the condition? (42:42) God says anything good that happens to you is from God And anything bad that happens to you is from you That messengers like human they make mistakes And these not from God These are from themselves And God may change later forgive them Is it ok if we finish? Speaker 13 (43:07) Go ahead Speaker 7 (43:08) There are some differences between discussion and urging (43:12) And what will happen is (43:15) I am coming to subject thank you Speaker 3 (43:16) You are right I am coming to subject (43:21) What about verse 3 in chapter 3 verse 159 (43:27) God says messenger must consult people around him (43:31) This is beauty of messenger (43:33) And if people around him are zero (43:36) They have no idea (43:38) They don't frankly they don't say their idea (43:43) They are only just messenger whatever he says (43:46) Ok except truth (43:48) Messenger 1 plus 0 is 1 (43:52) Messenger says 12 plus 0 is 12 (43:56) 6 messenger says 6 he says 0 (43:59) 6 plus 0 is 6 (44:02) There is no change (44:03) What is the reason of consultation of messenger with believer? (44:07) According to Quran believer has also personality (44:11) They have all their idea (44:13) They are not good people (44:15) Wow Speaker 1 (44:17) Wow Speaker 16 (44:19) Wow (44:19) Wow (44:21) Wow Speaker 2 (44:26) Mashallah (44:27) Congratulations (44:28) Come here Speaker 13 (44:32) Don't go over there (44:33) Come here (44:35) Mashallah (44:37) God bless Speaker 3 (44:37) The other point (44:40) We must (44:41) One lady one sincere lady (44:45) Believer (44:46) Because of (44:47) Last week we had discussion (44:50) I and Ismail Barakat (44:52) Really according to Quran (44:53) We made mistake and I repented (44:55) Because of this (44:56) But I will tell you something (44:58) More important than this mistake (45:01) More important than this mistake (45:03) But we forget this (45:06) We want to cover the subject (45:09) Why a person shout? (45:12) Every shouting person (45:13) Are not the same (45:14) If you punch (45:16) A person comes here shout (45:18) Because he is (45:19) He is Speaker 13 (45:23) God needs angels (45:26) Or other things (45:31) Firstly (45:33) Turn the verse (45:35) God is the alpha (45:36) Allah Speaker 3 (45:42) He is the beginning (45:45) And also this verse (45:47) 57.3 (45:50) And other verse (45:51) God is the creator (45:54) Is the creator (45:56) Of everything (46:02) There are many verses about this (46:05) For example 13.16 (46:09) Didn't create (46:11) Did not create (46:13) Or could not create (46:15) Hydrogen Speaker 7 (46:19) Hydrogen Speaker 11 (46:24) Wait Speaker 3 (46:29) That discussion Speaker 2 (46:31) We made (46:33) This Speaker 3 (46:34) And you accept Speaker 2 (46:37) So I say (46:39) I say that God is not omnipotent (46:42) You heard me say (46:43) God is not omnipotent Speaker 3 (46:45) No no (46:47) Wait wait Speaker 2 (46:47) Does anybody in this room believe that God is not omnipotent? (46:51) Raise your hand please Wait wait Does anyone in this room believe that God is not omnipotent? (46:57) He is able to do anything Does anyone here believe that? (47:01) Ok the first issue is finished (47:03) There is nobody here who does not believe Speaker 3 (47:05) Yes (47:08) There is nobody in this room Speaker 2 (47:09) Who believes that God is not omnipotent (47:11) So this is finished (47:26) You have to go talk to some people (47:27) Who don't believe that God is omnipotent (47:29) We all believe God is omnipotent Speaker 3 (47:30) Ok can we say God can do whatever he wants (47:33) Yes (47:35) Alhamdulillah thank God (47:36) We erased this problem (47:40) This was the discussion Speaker 2 (47:41) This was always the case (47:42) It was never otherwise Speaker 5 (47:44) The rest of us that were at the discussion (47:47) Didn't take it that way Speaker 2 (47:49) Go ahead what was the second point Speaker 3 (47:51) Thank God yes (47:52) I want to be a liar (47:53) Really I want to be in this case a liar (47:55) Because I don't want to make trouble (47:57) But God knows everything (48:00) Inshallah even if (48:02) If Rashad says he must repent (48:03) If he doesn't remember it is better for him (48:06) But I remember (48:07) The discussion was about this (48:10) Anyway (48:11) God needs angels (48:13) Who cannot say Inshallah Speaker 12 (48:15) You are missing the point (48:18) Let's bring up the subject (48:19) That we were talking about Speaker 1 (48:21) Chapter 15 started from 74 to 78 Speaker 12 (48:25) Just read the whole thing (48:26) He is going to tell you Speaker 1 (48:27) That God turned upside down (48:31) The city of Lot (48:32) By the angels (48:34) That is God's system (48:35) God's system never changed (48:36) You want to go into it Speaker 2 (48:39) O you who believe (48:41) Do not place your opinion above that (48:43) Of God and his messenger (48:46) You shall reverence God (48:48) God is hearer of omniscience (48:50) O you who believe (48:51) Do not raise your voice (48:52) Above the voice of the prophet (48:54) This is the prophet Muhammad (48:56) And it is set as an example for us (48:58) Nor shall you shout at him (49:00) As you shout at each other (49:03) Why is God saying this? (49:04) Why? (49:05) He tells us why He says lest Your words become nullified While you do not perceive Why will my words be nullified If I shout at the messenger Or if I raise my opinion above The opinion of the messenger How will my work be nullified? (49:21) I pray five times a day I fast the month of Ramadan I worship God alone But God is telling me If you place your opinion Above that of God and the messenger Your works are nullified What is the mechanism Of nullifying my works By doing this? (49:40) Here is the mechanism (49:41) Because when I do this to the messenger (49:44) And there is an outsider (49:46) Who will come and see this (49:47) The outsider will come and see (49:49) That one of the closest persons to the messenger (49:52) Is telling him (49:52) You don't believe in God's omnipotence (49:54) You don't believe this and that (49:57) So the outsider will leave (49:59) And become a disbeliever for example (50:02) If I do this (50:03) And drive the outsider away (50:05) I will carry this person's sins (50:08) This is how my works will be nullified (50:11) Why is God saying this? (50:13) Is God advocating idol worship? (50:16) Or what? (50:17) Of course not (50:17) So there is a reason for it (50:20) But you see now what the point is (50:24) A deep came to a certain conclusion (50:26) And he made an opinion (50:29) And he didn't want to give it up (50:30) And he still doesn't want to give it up Speaker 3 (50:32) I just (50:33) Rashad (50:35) If this is correct, this is wrong (50:37) This is (50:39) Whatever people you ask (50:40) If some person (50:42) If any being (50:43) You are still on number one Speaker 2 (50:45) So let me go to number one (50:47) Adeeb says that I say that God is not omnipotent Speaker 3 (50:50) No, no, the second one Speaker 2 (50:52) He said that God cannot (50:54) Turn Sodom upside down without the angels (50:57) Is this what you are saying? Speaker 3 (50:58) Excuse me? (50:59) If God wants, he is omnipotent (51:02) He can do (51:03) He can do without angels Speaker 2 (51:05) Let us see what God says (51:07) And we cannot be more godly than God (51:09) I am going to use (51:11) An example that is (51:13) That is identical (51:15) God says that the creation of Jesus (51:17) Is like the creation of Adam (51:19) Equal to the creation of Adam (51:20) We are all familiar with this verse (51:22) And then God goes on in the verse and says (51:24) I said to him be and he was (51:27) So this is how God (51:29) Gets things done, God can get anything done (51:31) By saying be and it is (51:33) Right? (51:35) Yet (51:37) We look at the Quran (51:38) Consistently about the creation of Adam (51:40) We see that God says I blew into Adam (51:42) From my spirit (51:44) Because that was up there in the first heaven (51:47) Adam was up there (51:48) God was up there (51:49) And God blew into Adam from his spirit (51:52) Now the identical creation of Jesus (51:54) God said to Jesus be and he was (51:58) God said (51:58) Be and he was (52:01) But God tells us in the Quran (52:02) He sent the angel to Mary (52:06) Carrying this command (52:09) To be (52:10) And God speaks in the plural (52:12) He said we blew into Mary from our spirit (52:17) So therefore (52:18) Therefore God is teaching us (52:20) That there is a system of be and it is (52:25) God didn't (52:26) Just sit up there in the first universe (52:29) He said be and Jesus was (52:31) The mechanism was (52:33) That the angel Gabriel came down (52:35) To the planet earth which cannot stand the physical (52:37) Presence of God (52:39) And Gabriel carried that command (52:42) And we blew into her from our spirit (52:45) So this is the difference (52:46) God tells us about the system (52:48) Now I cannot say that (52:51) God said be (52:52) To Jesus and Jesus was (52:54) Without the intervention of the angel (52:56) I cannot say that because it would be a lie (53:00) Satan (53:00) When Satan failed to stop you (53:02) From worshipping God (53:04) He will push you to the other extreme (53:08) He will make you demand of God (53:10) More than what God himself said (53:14) So this is the situation (53:16) That we have here (53:17) In other words God said he sent the angel (53:19) To create Jesus (53:23) And then we say (53:24) God doesn't need the angel (53:25) Well who am I to decide that (53:28) God himself told us (53:30) That he sent the angel (53:32) These are two identical things (53:34) And you can (53:35) God also said he sent the angel (53:38) To turn Saddam upside down (53:40) So I cannot say otherwise (53:42) I have to abide by (53:44) What God said (53:46) If God said he sent the angel (53:48) To turn it upside down (53:49) I can't say that God can sit (53:52) Up there and say be (53:53) And it is upside down (53:55) God is teaching us (53:57) That there is a system, there is a mechanism (54:00) But the point (54:01) That Behrouz is talking about is (54:04) Nullifying our works (54:06) And (54:07) It brings out (54:09) This very serious (54:10) Idol worship that is idolizing our opinion (54:13) We must give up our opinion (54:14) In favor of God's opinion (54:16) If God said he sent the angel (54:19) To blow into Mary from (54:21) God's spirit (54:22) Through the mediation of the angel (54:24) We have to believe that Speaker 3 (54:25) Rashad did I say (54:27) God didn't send angels (54:29) Did I say God doesn't use angels (54:31) I only say God uses angels (54:34) But it doesn't mean God (54:36) Needs angels (54:37) God has obligation (54:39) God doesn't need anybody (54:42) But God selected angels (54:44) What did you say now? Speaker 7 (54:46) The difference between the words God wants to use the angels And God Says God won't Maybe God won't control Without angels but it is not that God Cannot, you know what I mean Like God can do everything but God has chosen His system We have a linguist here What does the person want and need master? (55:11) No I want you to answer this first God wanted this Or God needed this Need and want You don't need a linguist Tell us what you think Need and want Tell us Need implies Want is something that you Are choosing to do What is your question? (55:46) I wasn't careful with the original thing Getting in between us here Is based on A little Maybe a misunderstanding Yes Are you saying that Rashad Said number one Two The ones that are in black there The black is what Rashad said Wait a second Rashad did you say those things? Speaker 3 (56:16) He didn't say that God cannot Control without angels Without angels He didn't say this He didn't say thank God You forgot? (56:29) Alhamdulillah (56:29) I will forget Speaker 11 (56:36) There is another (56:37) Ayah in the Quran that says (56:39) God wants all the people (56:41) To believe He can do it (56:44) So there is a difference (56:45) Between me and God (56:47) So He can want (56:49) He can do all of these (56:52) Things without angels (56:53) But His system (56:54) Is to find angels to do this (56:56) And to do that Speaker 16 (56:59) That's exactly what we were saying Speaker 2 (57:01) That's what I said Speaker 6 (57:02) I think the whole problem (57:05) With everything that is being said (57:06) Is that everybody in this room (57:08) Believes number one Speaker 3 (57:10) So then words Speaker 6 (57:16) Verbs like we use (57:18) Can or need or has to Speaker 13 (57:21) They don't apply Speaker 6 (57:22) You can't say (57:25) Like Rashad said (57:31) God in a different way or can do things (57:33) Or need to do things (57:34) These are verbs that don't apply to God (57:39) Ok Speaker 7 (57:40) This was the discussion Speaker 3 (57:43) And many times it has been used (57:45) You can call (57:48) Alhamdulillah Speaker 16 (57:49) Ok Speaker 5 (57:51) Sorry (57:53) You hit the nail on the head Speaker 7 (58:04) No one is turning against Him Speaker 1 (58:06) No one is racing with Him (58:09) He is making up these things (58:11) I am not racing with Him (58:13) None of us over here (58:14) We are racing with Him Speaker 5 (58:17) Ok Rashad Speaker 2 (58:19) Adib has a severe problem (58:21) And we are trying to help him (58:23) We are his brothers (58:24) We are his brothers and sisters (58:26) And we are trying to help him Speaker 3 (58:27) He has a very severe problem Speaker 1 (58:36) Now the one thing happened (58:38) How come Ismail Barakat (58:41) Does not have any linguistic problem (58:43) His English is perfect (58:44) He understood it (58:45) And he repented (58:46) He said I am sorry (58:50) Come on (58:51) He asked the lady (58:53) He said I am sorry Speaker 3 (58:57) His English is perfect Speaker 2 (59:03) Rashad Speaker 3 (59:04) One question (59:05) Why don't you worry about this brother (59:07) You worried about me (59:09) Because I shouted at you (59:10) Because I may misunderstand (59:13) I may understand Speaker 2 (59:15) No I worry about you (59:16) Because you worship your opinion (59:17) To the point of destroying you (59:20) Dr. Sabahi wants to say something Speaker 3 (59:22) Excuse me (59:22) Did you say that God did not create hydrogen (59:26) Did you say that God is witness Speaker 12 (59:29) Adib Jan (59:30) You were telling me millions of crazy things Speaker 3 (59:32) You brought it from your mind (59:33) Rashad warned me (59:36) But you said God cannot create hydrogen (59:39) Nobody will say that Speaker 2 (59:41) Adib (59:41) Nobody will say that Speaker 1 (59:43) You thought he said (59:45) The only reason I am worried about you (59:47) Is because I love you (59:49) God created everything (59:50) I love you and I know you know a lot (59:53) I sit over there and I ask you Speaker 3 (59:54) Did you say this or not Speaker 1 (59:56) No I did not Speaker 2 (59:57) I was there (1:00:00) There is a statement in the Quran Speaker 11 (1:00:03) Hold it (1:00:04) Ok Speaker 2 (1:00:07) Adib (1:00:09) Adib (1:00:09) There is a statement in the Quran (1:00:12) Allah is the creator of all things (1:00:14) God is the creator of all things (1:00:17) Everybody believes that (1:00:18) You all believe that (1:00:20) You think he said this Speaker 3 (1:00:22) No he said (1:00:24) No I am not lying Speaker 1 (1:00:26) You said (1:00:28) You said (1:00:29) God created everything (1:00:32) And I said (1:00:34) If something created from nothing (1:00:36) That must be nothing (1:00:37) Did you understand (1:00:39) So God is nothing (1:00:41) You said God is nothing (1:00:43) See (1:00:44) The same problem Speaker 12 (1:00:48) You can take (1:00:50) A statement out of context (1:00:52) I don't understand Speaker 2 (1:00:54) You understand Speaker 5 (1:00:54) It is just a misunderstanding of the world (1:00:57) We all agree that the black things there (1:01:00) Are not correct Speaker 15 (1:01:01) And whoever Speaker 5 (1:01:02) Someone here heard it wrong (1:01:04) Or used the wrong vocabulary (1:01:05) But we all agree that the black is not right (1:01:08) And the red is in the Quran (1:01:09) And it is the right thing (1:01:11) So we all agree Speaker 4 (1:01:15) Say (1:01:25) I seek refuge in the lord of the people (1:01:28) The king of the people (1:01:30) The god of the people (1:01:36) Whisper (1:01:37) The bidet of the jinn (1:01:43) For the people (1:01:44) I just read (1:01:56) Verse 110 (1:01:57) And then I refer you to (1:02:02) Verse 103 (1:02:03) You shall call fast to the rope of god (1:02:06) All of you and do not be divided (1:02:09) We call god's blessings (1:02:11) Upon you (1:02:11) You used to be enemies and he reconciled your hearts (1:02:14) By his praise (1:02:17) You became brethren (1:02:18) You were at the brink of a state of fire (1:02:20) And he saved you (1:02:21) God has explained his revelations for you (1:02:24) That you may be guided (1:02:26) Let there be a community of you (1:02:28) Who invite to goodness (1:02:29) Advocate righteousness (1:02:30) And forbid evil (1:02:31) These are the successful ones (1:02:34) Do not be like those (1:02:36) Who became divided and disputed (1:02:38) After the three of groups have come to them (1:02:41) These have incurred a terrible retribution (1:02:43) On a day when some faces (1:02:45) Will be brightened with joy (1:02:46) While other faces will be darkened with misery (1:02:49) As for those whose faces are darkened (1:02:52) If you do not disbelieve (1:02:55) After believing (1:02:56) Specifically (1:02:57) Face the retribution for your disbelief (1:02:59) I guess (1:03:00) If you are (1:03:03) Good students (1:03:05) Of the Quran (1:03:06) This will never happen to us (1:03:08) So believe me (1:03:10) On Congress (1:03:12) I just read that (1:03:14) Before (1:03:15) Before (1:03:17) This (1:03:18) I didn't know anything (1:03:20) About what has happened (1:03:21) And when he explained (1:03:23) I didn't see a big thing about it (1:03:27) Because (1:03:28) What I understood (1:03:29) Is a misunderstanding (1:03:31) And the rest of it is whispering (1:03:33) And making it big (1:03:35) Looking at (1:03:36) This mosque (1:03:38) For the last year and a half (1:03:39) Or even more (1:03:42) I know that (1:03:43) He who got omnipotence (1:03:45) And everything else (1:03:47) I know what you stand for (1:03:50) And I know what (1:03:51) Everybody here, most of the people (1:03:53) Stand for (1:03:56) And I think (1:03:57) I know what Hadith stands for (1:04:00) And if (1:04:01) He has an ego, I guess all of us have (1:04:03) More or less (1:04:04) But at the same time, I guess (1:04:08) I never doubt (1:04:09) His belief (1:04:11) In Quran or in God (1:04:13) Or in you as (1:04:15) Being the messenger (1:04:16) But if something comes up (1:04:19) And we make it bigger and bigger (1:04:21) I'm surprised (1:04:23) I agree with Nafla (1:04:25) As someone who doesn't know anything (1:04:27) How can all of a sudden (1:04:29) Things turn from day to night (1:04:31) You know (1:04:33) If you tell me that somebody (1:04:35) Is going to think (1:04:39) That what is going on in here (1:04:40) Imagine (1:04:42) If somebody comes in (1:04:44) Last week he was sitting next to (1:04:46) Rashad and was giving all the opinions (1:04:47) And he was a knowledgeable person (1:04:49) All of a sudden (1:04:50) Now we don't even let him talk (1:04:52) I don't support (1:04:55) This anger (1:04:56) This excitement (1:04:59) But what I'm saying is (1:05:01) If you believe (1:05:02) That we are believers here (1:05:04) Respect each other (1:05:06) God is saying this (1:05:08) Don't dispute among yourselves (1:05:10) If he does something wrong (1:05:12) You have to put him in, sit down (1:05:14) And try to... Speaker 2 (1:05:15) Exactly that's what we're doing Speaker 4 (1:05:17) No, I'm telling the truth (1:05:20) This is not the feeling that I get (1:05:22) From sitting here for about (1:05:24) 45 minutes (1:05:25) Everybody is, you know, attacking him (1:05:28) At least the people who have seen (1:05:29) His outbursts in that day (1:05:31) It is not fair (1:05:32) It is (1:05:36) I agree (1:05:38) That's why I (1:05:40) Objected very strongly (1:05:41) Because we didn't know (1:05:43) What was going on (1:05:44) You come in and you drop the bomb (1:05:47) Something went on Speaker 2 (1:05:48) He read the Quran (1:05:51) Let me say something here (1:05:53) Because we just witnessed (1:05:55) A commandment of God being broken (1:05:56) And we (1:05:59) Whatever you do, your nice words (1:06:00) Will not fix the wound that he's been (1:06:02) Stabbed with. (1:06:03) This is a very nice, very gentle man And somebody told him you're a liar And we're all sitting here indifferent How can we fix his wound now? (1:06:11) You think Everything will be alright? (1:06:14) We read here Let me finish See what God is saying God is saying Tell my servants, this is 287 Tell my servants To treat each other in the best possible manner For the devil will always try To drive a wedge among them Surely the devil is man's most Ardent enemy Now I want you to put yourself in Behrouz's place And somebody is calling you a liar I'm correct Is this what God is saying? (1:06:42) Tell my servants To treat each other in the best possible manner He's getting deeper and deeper In trouble with God And what you just read Is to advocate righteousness and forbid evil We cannot sit indifferently And watch A deep blaspheme Against God And hurt one of our people His brother In this way I mean do you think Behrouz will sleep tonight? (1:07:09) Do you have any consideration for his feelings? (1:07:11) Can we just pass it up? (1:07:14) Can we pass up The fact that he was called a liar Unjustly Or even justly So, yes? Speaker 15 (1:07:24) I think the messenger has some feelings You are a human being and he was playing us There is one of the witnesses there Excuse me Rashad There is one person who did not listen to this conversation Who? Speaker 3 (1:07:37) Ismail Barakat He doesn't know whatever I say or Behrouz say Just record, ask him What was the conversation? (1:07:46) Why we discussed? (1:07:47) Why he shouted at you like me? (1:07:48) Well first of all you owe Behrouz an apology Because you committed A breaking of the commandments right here I am ready, I know that now I say and you are here I know exactly Behrouz said God didn't create hydrogen I am sure like my belief If you let witness God I can tell you what God says here Are you ready? (1:08:10) No, no, no, no Don't shout I live to God I will not speak English I live to God Whoever is liar, God will curse him He is a physician I can tell you what God said You want to see what God said? Speaker 2 (1:08:29) In the Quran? Speaker 3 (1:08:37) He must repent like me I repent God You did? Speaker 12 (1:08:43) Yes, sure Today is past 7-8 days? Speaker 2 (1:08:46) None of us saw it And you didn't show anything You didn't talk to any of us I know he is So why God said in the Quran After the people die And they turn into dust and bones They come back to life This is ridiculous This is what God said Is it true? (1:09:13) God said This is what you are saying Because God is saying in the Quran I can show you God said After the people die and become dust and bones They come back to life This is ridiculous You think God said that? (1:09:29) This is how you are misquoting Because we were all there We all know that God created everything It is not fair To take something out of context Just to defend your opinion You just wipe out your friends And your brothers Just to hold you to your opinion You don't want to say you are wrong Ali Ali But who is but? Speaker 9 (1:09:57) Ali What? (1:10:35) Who told you we were whispering? (1:10:41) How many times You think all the great men Of our century The people stood up for their rights If Martin Luther King didn't stand up What would have happened? (1:10:52) If all those people didn't stand up for their rights What would have happened? (1:10:55) He stood up and he saw maybe something was wrong And he tried to fix it before it got bigger And I think you guys should be thankful To this man for being here and standing up I don't think I don't think you should be mad at him I think No, if there is false Then what? (1:11:15) How do you know it is false? (1:11:16) There are seven people sitting over here (1:11:19) Watching (1:11:21) We are all human beings (1:11:23) We are all allowed to make mistakes (1:11:24) To me it is just to make one mistake (1:11:31) No excuse Speaker 6 (1:11:32) No compromise Speaker 2 (1:11:34) That is exactly what he is doing (1:11:35) This is exactly what he is doing (1:11:37) Idol worship (1:11:38) He is worshiping his opinion (1:11:39) My estimate of the situation (1:11:42) From all the things I learned in my life (1:11:44) Is that Adib is in a serious, serious trouble (1:11:47) He idolizes his opinion (1:11:49) And unless he changes (1:11:51) He is going to go to hell (1:11:52) This is just a summary of the whole thing (1:11:55) His opinion (1:11:56) Has more value than God himself (1:12:00) This is what we see in (1:12:01) Surah 25 (1:12:02) I forget the verse (1:12:03) Remember (1:12:06) Do you know the person (1:12:08) Whose opinion is his God (1:12:09) And in Arabic which you understand very well (1:12:14) His God right now (1:12:16) Is his opinion and I am hoping (1:12:17) That he will snap out of it someday (1:12:21) And give in (1:12:22) To God's opinion (1:12:23) This is what was happening Speaker 3 (1:12:25) Mahmood also at that time was witness (1:12:27) Of conversation (1:12:28) He is a sincere believer (1:12:31) Also (1:12:32) Why not ask him (1:12:35) He is suffering now (1:12:37) Because there is something (1:12:39) Which (1:12:40) Rashad is not saying (1:12:43) No no (1:12:44) What happened (1:12:45) Did somebody say God cannot control this (1:12:47) Did somebody say God didn't create (1:12:50) What did God say Speaker 2 (1:12:53) After we died (1:12:54) We resurrected Speaker 3 (1:12:55) This is ridiculous (1:13:18) The Jews never said Speaker 2 (1:13:21) God did not create hydrogen (1:13:22) Behrouz never said that (1:13:24) Adib thought that Behrouz said that Speaker 3 (1:13:26) Adib misunderstood Speaker 2 (1:13:28) What Behrouz is saying (1:13:30) Simple as that (1:13:31) Nobody Speaker 3 (1:13:33) I was just next to him (1:13:35) You were there Rashad (1:13:37) Yes Speaker 2 (1:13:39) Listen (1:13:40) I don't have to be there (1:13:43) To know that Behrouz will never say (1:13:45) God did not create hydrogen (1:13:47) Dr. Sabah Speaker 4 (1:13:50) I guess (1:13:51) Adib you are making a big mistake (1:13:54) Because you are speaking to (1:13:56) Something that you believe is right (1:13:58) You don't give even (1:14:00) One part million (1:14:02) Or billion chance that you may be wrong (1:14:05) Or you may have heard it wrong Speaker 2 (1:14:06) Or say that Mahmood has intervened (1:14:09) Exactly Speaker 4 (1:14:09) If you dig more and more into it (1:14:12) It is going to turn ugly (1:14:14) Because you want him to (1:14:16) Say that he (1:14:17) He said so (1:14:19) So that you will be relieved (1:14:20) And he is saying that he didn't say so (1:14:24) Listen (1:14:25) You say that and then again (1:14:27) Right (1:14:30) I think (1:14:31) You have to seriously (1:14:32) All of us have to seriously think about this (1:14:35) And analyze the situation (1:14:37) And if you really really give down (1:14:39) Belief that God is the omnipotent (1:14:42) Then he is going to take care (1:14:43) If somebody is doing something wrong (1:14:45) If something has wrong beliefs (1:14:47) He is going to be exported (1:14:49) If he believes that God is capable of it (1:14:51) So we don't have to take it in our hands (1:14:53) So let it drop (1:14:55) You can cool down (1:14:57) Get your work (1:14:58) And let's (1:15:00) You can discuss the issue (1:15:03) Discuss it, find the problem (1:15:04) But you cannot find the guilty (1:15:06) This is not the course (1:15:07) You cannot find someone (1:15:09) And let God take care of it (1:15:11) Because things are clear (1:15:12) The things that you were worried about (1:15:14) That God is not omnipotent (1:15:16) I can't see all the things (1:15:17) So I was surprised that you brought that up (1:15:20) Because from what I understand (1:15:22) This is not the case (1:15:25) Sometimes you may hear something (1:15:27) I wave and then say (1:15:28) Oh I made a mistake (1:15:30) Or somebody made a mistake (1:15:31) But you are asking too much now (1:15:35) You want someone to come out (1:15:37) And say I made this mistake (1:15:39) I am sorry, you are right (1:15:41) No, this is not going to happen Speaker 2 (1:15:44) I have to compliment you (1:15:48) You found out exactly what the problem is (1:15:51) You put it (1:15:53) Really better than anyone can (1:15:55) Possibly put (1:16:00) Were you talking? Speaker 1 (1:16:02) I want to say (1:16:05) We all love him (1:16:07) And all over the world (1:16:09) They know Adib (1:16:10) He is knowledgeable (1:16:13) We appreciate it (1:16:14) And I appreciate it myself (1:16:15) Because I sit there (1:16:16) And he is a lot of knowledge to me (1:16:19) And believe me (1:16:21) I suggested to Mahmood (1:16:22) From the day that happened (1:16:25) Please let's sit down (1:16:28) And talk to me (1:16:30) But God is with us (1:16:32) That was not a day (1:16:33) That we could have get him (1:16:35) By himself (1:16:36) We were here, we didn't want to talk to him (1:16:39) In front of you (1:16:40) And we all wanted to talk to him (1:16:42) Three of us together (1:16:44) Because if someone talks to him (1:16:46) All the things he says, he says no (1:16:48) Whatever you say, he says no (1:16:50) And then it takes him two years and a half (1:16:52) I found out (1:16:53) That say okay, you are right (1:16:55) But us mean to him, I am just stupid (1:16:58) I don't know nothing (1:17:00) Okay, see this is the impression (1:17:01) Everybody is getting (1:17:02) Everybody to him (1:17:04) Everybody does not understand by him (1:17:07) Now we try to help him (1:17:10) Three days in a row (1:17:11) We try to get him in a corner (1:17:14) Hey, this is it brother (1:17:15) We are worried about you (1:17:18) Let's repent and forget about it (1:17:20) And there were seven people (1:17:22) Witnessing that day (1:17:23) I am not taking side (1:17:25) I am not politician (1:17:26) If I was, I wouldn't be here (1:17:29) I would have a beautiful job (1:17:30) I would be making a lot of money (1:17:32) Like the others are doing (1:17:34) I am not smart outside (1:17:37) I am just (1:17:39) My heart is very open (1:17:40) You will find out later on (1:17:42) And I think this is the reason that I am here (1:17:44) This is the reason he is here (1:17:45) But when you get over here, you want to say (1:17:48) Hey, I am this and that, you are going to lose it (1:17:50) And this is what is going to happen (1:17:51) It is going to happen (1:17:53) But we care about him (1:17:54) We don't want this to happen to him (1:17:56) And I am sure as much as us (1:17:58) You worry about him more (1:18:00) And so as Nahman and other friends Speaker 5 (1:18:02) I am his wife and I have never seen him (1:18:04) Opinionated with me (1:18:05) Because you are his wife (1:18:07) I would be the one (1:18:09) And he humbles me Speaker 1 (1:18:11) Yes, that is the love (1:18:12) But the love between you and him Speaker 5 (1:18:15) He is so humble (1:18:20) To you it is Speaker 1 (1:18:22) If I was his wife (1:18:23) He would be humble to me (1:18:26) This relationship is different (1:18:27) This is different (1:18:28) But to him and me and us sitting over here (1:18:31) We are not proving anything (1:18:33) That I am smart, you are smart (1:18:35) No, I am God (1:18:37) Well unfortunately Speaker 16 (1:18:38) Everybody is getting Speaker 2 (1:18:41) Let's see what God is saying (1:18:43) Let's see what God is saying (1:18:44) Wait (1:18:47) Let's see what God is saying (1:18:50) I want to reiterate (1:18:51) What Behrooz said (1:18:52) We all love Adib (1:18:53) We are trying to step him out of it (1:18:54) He is in deep trouble (1:18:57) Remember Satan believed in God (1:18:59) Satan knew God (1:19:01) But he was kicked out of God's kingdom (1:19:04) Because of ego (1:19:06) We read in page 465 (1:19:09) Verse 65 (1:19:10) Surah 39 (1:19:11) It has been revealed to you (1:19:14) And this means (1:19:15) Every messenger (1:19:18) And to those before you (1:19:20) Every messenger (1:19:21) That if you ever commit idol worship (1:19:23) All your works will be nullified (1:19:26) And you will be (1:19:27) With the losers (1:19:30) To idolize (1:19:32) One's opinion is stated in the Quran (1:19:34) As idol worship (1:19:35) It is stated very clearly (1:19:37) Idolize one's opinion means you hold fast to it (1:19:40) Just like Dr. Sabahis (1:19:41) Spotted it (1:19:45) And nothing (1:19:46) Will stand in the way of your opinion (1:19:49) You just hold fast (1:19:50) This is idol worship (1:19:52) Everybody knows Adib is a believer (1:19:55) Everybody knows Adib is knowledgeable (1:19:59) Everybody knows he is sincere (1:20:01) But the danger he is in now (1:20:02) Is that he may fall into this (1:20:04) In 65, he may nullify all his work (1:20:08) You have to remember (1:20:09) That Satan believed in God (1:20:10) And out of love (1:20:12) All of us (1:20:13) We are trying to help him (1:20:14) In fact they made a committee (1:20:17) Behrouz, Mahmoud (1:20:18) And they wanted to talk to him (1:20:21) To help him (1:20:23) Not to attack him (1:20:26) Dr. Mashoud is trying to talk for a long time Speaker 8 (1:20:31) I am a new believer (1:20:33) One of the side attractions of this place (1:20:35) I call it side attraction (1:20:37) Because the main attraction here for me (1:20:39) Is God's word, God's message (1:20:41) The side attraction for me here (1:20:43) Was the closeness (1:20:45) The family atmosphere (1:20:47) That I saw over here (1:20:48) You know being from Iran (1:20:50) Being a Shia (1:20:53) They taught us (1:20:55) I haven't seen anything like this (1:20:57) And this was very very attractive for me (1:21:00) I brought all my family over here (1:21:01) But what I saw today (1:21:03) In the hotel (1:21:04) And what I saw today here (1:21:06) Is completely different (1:21:08) From what I have been thinking (1:21:09) During these past two months (1:21:11) You taught me that (1:21:15) The Prophet is a human (1:21:16) I really never thought the Prophet was human (1:21:18) I thought the Prophet was walking (1:21:20) With a halo over his head (1:21:22) You couldn't see his face (1:21:23) I came over here and I saw that (1:21:26) The Prophet is somebody like me (1:21:28) And somebody like you (1:21:29) You can talk to him, you can go and ask him questions (1:21:32) This will never change (1:21:33) We are just completely different people Speaker 2 (1:21:35) This is really really disappointing (1:21:38) What do you think Behrooz said (1:21:39) And what do you think should be done Speaker 8 (1:21:41) I cannot judge on that (1:21:43) Because I don't know (1:21:44) I cannot be proactive (1:21:46) I'm going to leave these two together (1:21:49) But we are going to go back to the community (1:21:51) That the Prophet said (1:21:53) We are going to love each other (1:21:55) We are going to respect each other (1:21:56) And we are going to apologize to each other (1:21:58) Every one of us (1:21:59) What happened over here today (1:22:02) And what your teachings are today Speaker 2 (1:22:03) This is exactly what Behrooz was calling for (1:22:06) He doesn't want to follow (1:22:08) What God is saying (1:22:09) To ensure that we are a family (1:22:12) Because God said the believers are a family (1:22:13) Douglas Speaker 6 (1:22:15) Surah 39 verse 18 (1:22:17) God says they are the ones (1:22:19) Who examine all words (1:22:21) And follow the best (1:22:23) These are the ones whom God has guided (1:22:25) These are the ones who possess intelligence (1:22:27) And I think that one of the things (1:22:30) That Satan is doing here (1:22:31) Is that he is making people feel (1:22:33) That their words are better than (1:22:36) Someone else's (1:22:37) And what we are supposed to do is that (1:22:39) Whenever we discuss anything or follow (1:22:41) The message of God or what have you (1:22:43) The ultimate is always God's words (1:22:45) Another verse in the Quran (1:22:47) Is in Surah 58 verse 10 (1:22:49) It says secret conspiracy (1:22:51) Is the devil's idea (1:22:53) Through which he seeks to hurt those who believe (1:22:55) He seeks to hurt those who believe (1:22:58) However he cannot hurt them (1:23:00) Against God's will (1:23:01) And God the believer shall trust (1:23:03) And I think we all should remember (1:23:05) That God says in the Quran (1:23:07) That he is aware of the innermost thoughts (1:23:09) And he will cause to come forth in us (1:23:12) All of our weaknesses (1:23:15) That he will bring out (1:23:16) Our weaknesses (1:23:18) According to his will (1:23:19) And when these weaknesses come out (1:23:22) If we are really sincere (1:23:24) And we worship God alone (1:23:26) We will pray to Allah (1:23:28) Face them in ourselves (1:23:29) And we will follow what is best (1:23:31) We will follow and examine the words (1:23:34) And follow what is best (1:23:35) And we will not try to defend (1:23:37) Our own weaknesses and our own opinions (1:23:40) And our own words (1:23:41) Because I think all of us do (1:23:44) And God knows this (1:23:45) This is an extremely critical time (1:23:48) Not just this situation (1:23:50) But in a very short time (1:23:52) And I think all of us feel this (1:23:55) The miracle in the Quran (1:23:57) The awareness that Rashad (1:23:59) Is a messenger of the covenant (1:24:00) Is going to spread like wildfire (1:24:03) It is going to spread (1:24:05) Like wildfire (1:24:05) It is almost as if we are on the verge (1:24:09) Of major events (1:24:10) And so the family (1:24:13) Has to be prepared (1:24:15) When you know (1:24:16) That people are coming to your house (1:24:18) What do you do? (1:24:18) You run and pick up the trash (1:24:20) And straighten up and try to make it look good (1:24:21) We have to be prepared (1:24:24) For what is about to take place Speaker 2 (1:24:27) Alhamdulillah (1:24:28) Let us now turn to God and ask (1:24:29) And God never turns us down (1:24:31) Al Fatiha (1:24:32) That he may keep us all in his path (1:24:34) And not a single one in this place (1:24:36) Not a single one is to (1:24:39) To be driven away from the path of God (1:24:42) So we leave it in God's hand (1:24:43) He is the only one who can solve our problems (1:24:47) Al Fatiha (1:24:47) In the name of God, the most gracious, the most merciful Speaker 14 (1:24:50) Praise be to God, the Lord of the worlds (1:24:52) The most gracious, the most merciful (1:24:54) On this day (1:24:55) We come to you (1:24:57) And to you we ask (1:24:59) Guide us to the straight path (1:25:01) The path of those on whom we have praised Speaker 2 (1:25:04) Not of those who have incurred displeasure (1:25:05) But of those who have not incurred displeasure (1:25:07) Our teacher tonight is Apame (1:25:09) And we are at verse (1:25:12) What is the verse? (1:25:14) She kept saying I want a teacher I want a teacher Yes Verse number what? (1:25:22) 366 (1:25:23) Verse 130 Speaker 5 (1:25:25) Verse 130 (1:25:40) O you who believe (1:25:41) You shall not take usury (1:25:43) You shall observe God (1:25:50) Beware of the hellfire that awaits (1:25:52) Those disbelievers (1:25:53) You shall obey God and the messenger (1:25:56) That you may attain mercy (1:26:03) We have discussed in great (1:26:06) Detail (1:26:07) About usury a few weeks ago (1:26:10) But going back (1:26:11) To one of the verses (1:26:12) Chapter 2 verse 275 (1:26:21) Those who take usury (1:26:23) Are in the same position as those (1:26:24) Who are possessed by the devil (1:26:26) This is because they claim that usury (1:26:29) Is the same as praise (1:26:30) God has made praise lawful (1:26:32) And has made usury unlawful (1:26:35) Whoever keeps his commandments (1:26:37) When he glorifies and refrains (1:26:39) From usury, he may keep his (1:26:41) Past earnings and his judgment (1:26:43) Rest with God (1:26:44) As for those who persist, they incur hell (1:26:47) They abide therein forever (1:26:48) This is exactly what God is telling us here (1:26:51) And we should realize what the difference is (1:26:53) Between praise and usury (1:26:55) Where usury is lending money (1:26:57) At excessive interest and taking advantage (1:26:59) Of the situation (1:26:59) Especially in this section where God is (1:27:02) Teaching us about the war (1:27:04) It was war time (1:27:06) We have talked about the battle of (1:27:08) Bath last week (1:27:10) And some people because of the economic (1:27:12) Situation could very much take advantage (1:27:14) Of that (1:27:16) And hurt others (1:27:18) And God teaches us (1:27:20) That that is evil (1:27:22) And (1:27:24) The people who commit this (1:27:26) Wicked act, their place (1:27:28) Is in the hellfire and they are (1:27:30) Disbelievers (1:27:32) And definitely this is (1:27:34) Given to us many times from God (1:27:36) And the messenger confirmed it (1:27:39) And we should attain (1:27:41) Certainty about it (1:27:42) And have (1:27:44) So that we can have mercy from God (1:27:51) Do you have any comments? Speaker 10 (1:27:54) I have a quick comment Well in The concept of usury Usury as a practice
