The Silent Proble Killing Muslim

 

The Silent Problem Killing Muslim:

The United Nations General Assembly  was meeting in New York City and there were leaders from all over the world  who were there expressing themselves and I happened to be able to listen to the talk that president delivered of Turkey. President Erdogan and it was a powerful speech and as the leader of Turkey which was once one of the most powerful countries on earth.  He made some very clear point and I reflect on Turkey because I've been in Istanbul several times and every time I go there and you look at the size of the buildings and you look at the city and you have to say to yourself I mean these people had power especially if you go back to the 16^th 15th 16th century you can see the level of power that they had compared to the rest of the world and even today his country is very strategic .

It was probably the only country that could get the Russians and the Ukrainians to sit at the peace table So he's a very important person and he spoke very clear very straightforward. One of the points that he made very clearly is that the United Nations representatives have been meeting over the past year andwitnessing the genocide that is happening in Palestine.

 And now the bombs are falling in Lebanon as we speak This is how he was addressing them The bombs are falling And it is a test for the United Nations because if the United Nations if these are the countries of the world this is a group that was set up in order never to have another Nazi German type of holocaust of people or the misuse of technology the destruction of nations.

 That's the reason why this is set up to stop genocide So if we cannot do this then we are under a serious test and this United Nations could become actually unworkable.

 And he mentioned that there's a clause within their rulings or the amendments

of the United Nations that if all Attempts fail to stop any aggression then they have the right for coercion which means force They have the right to send in force and and that is the reality If a nation becomes a rogue state and thousands of people are dying this could have consequence for the whole globe somebody has to stop them And so he said I want to be part of of an allied nations the same way the allies stopped Hitler He said I want to be part of a group of allies who stop the aggression the things that are happening now because this is not only going to influence the Middle East but this will have ramifications all over the world.

 Even though Turkey is a mighty nation it is the second most powerful nation in NATO , it is one of the most powerful in in the Middle East itself Okay Even though there are great Chachchan warriors and Pakistanis . Pakistan has 170 nuclear weapons in Pakistan Afghan soldiers are still there. And there are other major forces.

Then how can people be stagnated to the point where they're forced to watch innocent children being bombed and being killed Something is seriously wrong something is wrong. And this is what Muslims need to understand If not this generation right now, then the next generation needs to understand which direction to go and to pray to Allah for some real change to come about in our nation in order to be able to come out of the situation  that we are in.

So the powerful representative of the Turkish nation representing the potential of the Muslim world that we discussed over 26% of the world's population all types of natural resources strategic position Turkey is right at the point the straits there connect Europe with Asia the Black Sea it is crucial Yemen Djibouti Somalia are  bottom of the Red Sea and you see what Houthis are doing now in terms of international trade Malaysia uh is on the Malaka straits and those straits that are going down through Malaysia and Southeast Asia you know much of the

world's traffic economic traffic is going through. You know that area itself. So strategic positions there's hundreds of these positions Muslims have.  And we have the armies to protect it or to disrupt other people.

We have young people We have we have a future intellectuals and we have money. Some of the richest people on earth are Muslims. So so many things as we looked at our history and our religion is still growing But with all this there are some serious contradictions that are happening. And this is the frustration  that I felt and that many people are feeling right now is that with this great wealth there is poverty and with he huge armies there is defeat there is humiliation intellectuals many of the debates are over trivial matters over minor things and younger generation those who are online you'll see many so-called Muslim sites they're fighting over really small issues.

So it creates a type of frustration that is there and  we need change and we found out that Allah said very clearly;”  Allah will not change the condition of a people till they change that which is in themselves. So it's something in our hearts something in the body of Islam that has to change is like a giant that can do so many things but the giant is  sick The giant's been sleeping and now

it's waking up When you first wake up you feel really groggy like you're not sure of. That's how the Muslim world is now It's like a giant that's just woken up from a deep sleep And so in looking at the traditions of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam and the different aspects of uh Islam wehim said there is something that I fear for my um more than doub okay and that's serious more than the antichrist.  And he repeated it three times And when he was asked about what it was he said "Misguided and astray leaders." If your leaders are misguided and this hadith comes in different forms.

One time it said "Uh right So those are lost leaders." And there's another one that says so are people who are not just lost they'll take you astray Cuz you have some scholars today that will even say obey your leaders anything they do And and that has to be put in the right context because he's the right context is you obey your leaders as long as they obey Allah So if uh they don't obey Allah then you don't have to obey.

The Ottomans uh used to say when because I've studied them in some details and when they were the most powerful they had three elements They had another element which is another it was an important one as well but they had three elements One is that they had um what they call the Alps The Alps would be the soldiers the military the fighters.

And then they had the scholars and then they had the business people So you combine the three right. And that's going to be important today cuz not not only do we need a military you got to have an economy So if you have those those you know your fighters who will defend you right But they are connected to scholars or led by scholars and you have an economy underneath it Now now we're talking the solution a reality that can still happen to Muslims But the danger  is if the scholars are not here or if the scholars go astray remember what the prophet said;  ‘ He said he fears these leaders these leadership people are are going astray.

They're not doing what's right Okay, it's worse He fears it even more than dal and that's serious. That's something which is really serious and Abdah reported that the Prophet said he said verily Allah does not take away knowledge by snatching it from people but he takes away knowledge by taking away the scholars so that when he leaves no learned person people turn to ignorant as they lead us and they ask to deliver religious verdicts and they deliver them without knowledge and they go astray and they lead others astray.

This is what happens when the leaders are the jal this is this is ignorant the jah when they are the ones in leadership then it's a serious situation or if the leaders become uh those who will take you astray don if the leaders are actually submitting to evil or doing evil now Islamic society you can have all the the hutbas all the salats al everything you want but we're not going to get success and we have to study this. We have to understand what it is,, you know in one of the Muslim countries, I don't want to say which one it is but they used to say if they had a son and they said this son you know if he's really intelligent then send him to medical let him be a doctor.

This happened in a lot of Muslim countries in the 20th century If he can't be a doctor then let him be an engineer If he can't be an engineer then let him be an accountant.

And this literally happened in in one country I'll say it it was Syria. They actually took your um test scores and the ones on the top they put them in med school whether you like blood or not The next ones you become engineer you become accountant or you become a lawyer Right,

Then they said in this one Muslim country if he's a bad little boy a spoiled brat then put him in the Quran school Put him let him be a malana. That's what they were doing.   So the little boy who was causing trouble right send him to the madressa so the madressa teacher can beat him into place so he gets beat to learn the Quran so what happened then when people suddenly realized that Islam is the solution and then these molanas or these these so-called shacks were graduating bad little boys who now had a cap on so now you're in trouble now because you have the worst most of your people who are actually in the leadership position.

You see so when Islam was in its height the young males young females those who had potential would study Islam and I'm saying females as well because there were many female scholars They would study Islam the best of the people cream of the crop Okay And then it would go down So what was it What was it that takes somebody who has the highest level of intelligence to deal with And and and and why would this be so important.

Number one again we have to understand we're dealing with ilm We're dealing with the knowledge of the revelations So this is how you're going to govern your society.  This is how decisions are going to be made economic political social not just religious. Your whole life within a society has to go back to this along with your engineering and your medicine and your architecture.  Of course these are all important subjects, But the base subject is this;  The true scholar has to be sincere.  And you know when that person is doing it for Allah and not for money because the problem today is you have what is called Sultan, they are the scholars of the king that the king will give them a package give them some money buy them bribery to bribe them right, doesn't
