So I had a different topic prepared today, but something interesting happened today that I believe we should derive some benefits from insha'Allah, what happened today?

The Queen died. I posted on Facebook and Twitter and as I expected a whole slew of comments come forth.

And I feel that it is beneficial, especially for our youth, to have some very frank discussions about awkward topics.

Honestly, I think that's all too often. We have so much extremes in our ummah of both sides. And we are ummah and wasata.

And we have a lot of people who are trigger happy. It's as if they're sitting on edge to wait to say something nasty or harsh to other people.

Any type of deviation left to right and halas immediately. In any case, so what I'm going to do to insha'Allah, it's not about the Queen, it's about something much broader.

It is about how we deal with such issues. And so it's not just about one specific incident, because obviously that's not befitting of, you know, must you talk one person.

No, it's about overall. Is there some ficki rulings, theological issues that we need to be aware of? How do we navigate through these types of issues?

So I'm going to begin insha'Allah, seven points within dahit ala.

First point, simply on the note of history. And I am a minor student of history. I love history. You've heard so many khateras of history.

I just find it very interesting that this particular monarch was the longest ruining monarch of that dynasty over 70 years.

And when she took, you know, the office, when she became the Queen until when she passed away, 70 plus years.

What that means is that there's really nobody sitting here in this entire audience who remembers a world pre-Queen Elizabeth.

I mean, to me, that's just amazing. Pre-World War II, she was born. Obviously, she became the Queen after World War II, but Winston Churchill was in office.

Winston Churchill, I mean, to me, it's just bizarre that, you know, somebody like this, and of course her dynasty, her clan, her family, I mean, her grandfather is the grandson of Queen Victoria.

Every Indian Pakistani Bengali in Nepal, every one of you, your heritage is directly linked to Queen Victoria, whether you know it or not.

The Empress of India, the Raj of India, Victoria was the one in whose reign India was conquered. And our history, us from that region, is intertwined with the history of that country, of that region.

And Victoria herself, by the way, was the granddaughter of King George III from whom this country broke away. I mean, that's the same dynasty.

It's just, to me, very historic. Whether you like it, whether you hate it, whether you just learn history, and learn what's going on.

This dynasty, in particular, and this region and this country, has had the most impact. I don't mean that in a positive way, I don't mean that in a negative way, probably more negative than positive.

But in terms of recent dynasties, no dynasty, for the last two, three hundred years, has had a more impact on our Ummah than this one.
