| 0:00.0 | This audio is brought to you by Muslim Central. Bismillah, al-hah, and sallat and sallat and all his and his halleh, and all his and sajbbi he and man, so today, inshallah, we have our open Q&A that we try to have at least once every month, and al-h-h-l-h-llah, within a day of announcing, we had over 160 questions, right? So obviously I cannot do all of them. |
| 0:22.2 | I'll try my best to do maybe 20, 30, |
| 0:24.8 | inshallah with the time that we have. |
| 0:26.1 | So bismillah, let us begin. |
| 0:29.6 | We have a number of questions. |
| 0:31.0 | I'll put them all together about a very sensitive topic, |
| 0:35.4 | and that's why I'm beginning with this topic, |
| 0:37.4 | and that is the issue of sectarianism with regards to what is happening in Iran, i.e., we have four or five questions asking the similar thing. How important is it to look at our theological differences? When we see what is happening in the world, there are some people that are claiming that |
| 0:57.0 | because this country is of a different friqa or sect, that we should not be as sympathetic |
| 1:03.0 | and maybe take a distance. And some are even saying it is equal what is happening |
| 1:08.0 | between these two countries, Israel and Iran. They're basically, that's the claim that some people are saying, |
| 1:14.6 | they're equally volume or tyrannical, so we should not be taking any side in this regard. |
| 1:19.6 | And others are saying that how come Epic has not made doa |
| 1:23.6 | for our brothers and sisters in Iran? |
| 1:25.6 | Then one brother says, I know you made |
| 1:27.6 | a doa once in Ramadan, but how about the rest of the people they didn't make |
| 1:31.9 | doa? |
| 1:32.9 | So all of these questions are coming. |
| 1:34.4 | Even within the questions, you find people are coming from different wavelengths, right? |
| 1:39.4 | And as I explained when I gave the longer talk here, no matter what a person says with regards to this very difficult topic, people, some of them will be happy, others will be sad. We cannot please the people. So let every person have a clean conscience and preach the truth. For me, to claim that a country that might have a slightly different theology, but it is praying, fasting, reciting the Quran, it has clearly the semblance of Islam, the shahir of Islam, to claim that that country is the same as a country that is rooted in injustice, tyranny, |
| 2:18.9 | that has had nothing but bloodshed, has made fun of Allah, |
| 2:22.3 | subhanna-wa-ta-a-a-a-a-lejected the prophets. |
