| 0:00.0 | This audio is brought to you by Muslim Central.com. Sallam Rachin-Tilahibrakato. Abbudan Shaitanai Jesusbudin al-Lah al-Lah al-L al-Lah al-Lulah al-Lq al-Ihah al-Aqibati al-Aqiyah al-Aah al-Aah al-Aahili al-Aahili al-Aahili al-Aah al-Lahahmahmahmahmahm. So, inshahla al-qah al to reflect a bit on obviously what many people are seeing coming |
| 0:28.9 | out of Minnesota, but I wanted to sort of step back and give this kuranic framing and really help us understand |
| 0:38.2 | through the lens of the Quran, the way that we deal with these types of situations beyond just you know the the general |
| 0:46.1 | statements about justice and the the sin of racism and murder and brutality and all that comes from that but really trying to |
| 0:54.9 | understand deeply how the Quran teaches us to deal with a situation like |

| 2:01.9 | it shouldn't have happened, but you know these are these are the types of things that happen in this line of work and there's nothing that we can do about it. |
| 2:09.0 | I think that it's also extremely faulty for a person to step in and to express a greater sense of outrage over property damage and looting and things that happened in the wake of this, |
