Where will the answers to Muslims' problems today come from?

say that people this is very specific localized like let's say elements of racism and things like this which many Muslims continue to face every day here in in this part of the world especially whether it's subtle whether it's institutional I don't mean it has to be the open racism like you so and so but it could be subtle it could be you know people not being given jobs because of this not been do they're not going to but it exists this institutional racism so these are so many of the problems that I'm that we're faced with the question is Okay so we've identified all of this so what the hell do we do about it like is there an answer to any of this are you just is

this just Doom and Gloom we're just going to go through the problems only see there's an interesting Hadith that the prophet Sall Al wasallam said that that Allah does not allow a disease to come down or to be created or to be to manifest except he had sent for it a [Music] cure those who knew it knew it and those who did not

didn't that we did not send a messenger except with the tongue of the people in this is our answer the answer is to these problemss the solution isn't going to just descend from the Heavens to us it isn't like okay damn we're stuck all right you know quick we need some support troubleshooting Allah's going to send down all these angels or these forces or a quick new a new guidance book to say okay here's your this is a manual s the

answer is going to come from us we are the Cavalry right so as disappointing as that sounds this is it so the people the solutions will come within we will step forward people from amongst us will rise they will learn they will Empower they will bring about Solutions you know somebody once asked a scholar he said he said you know when when people if people were to reach the moon well what direction what direction would they pray Salah

in and the point was that and and and they asked this I know this is now a lot more visual for us in a way because people have reached although as civil as a society we haven't reached the moon but I mean as you know explorers and so on astronauts we have but this was asked previously I mean a I mean not just now in this Century it been asked for you know people have been hypothesizing forever they said what what would what would we do he said you know those people the response was when that time comes those people will find their answers there's an amazing um transmission by K Y I'm sure you all

familiar with the The Legend from alandus and from I mean very famous Maliki scholar from almost 900 years ago author of The shifa he in his book mad he trans it's this biographies of amazing people he has a section on Abdullah Mubarak who was a very amazing scholar of this um amazing had his own a much and you know I I take I digress slightly since I'm mention abdah muak even him it's mentioned about him

that he himself initially was not somebody so you could say maybe attracted to the dean in fact some stories I hope I'm not getting this wrong since you're recording some stories they actually mention to the extent unless damn right the thing if if I get this wrong don't worry we have to settle it with abdulah Mubarak later on that they mentioned that he was somebody who actually liked a bit of his uh you know a bit of his drink and a bit of uh back in the days I mean so and one of the interesting narration is that he

actually found himself I mean quite often drunk but on this one occasion he had kind of been completely knocked out he kind of coming back to a bit of his senses and he heard this verse being recited that where he's and it's something like Dawn time and he's kind of collapsed damn and now that I've heard the verse me that

uh but that this that he hears this verse being recited that has the time not come that's it that has the time not come for those people who believe to kind of to turn to this remembrance but he says it hit him so hard just out of the blue this one verse that he thought W and he says that it was almost like like an Awakening that he just shook him and he

turns to the Masid and from what he embarks on is an amazing journey that not only changes him but people around him forever he becomes one of the most amazing Scholars of this um and he was a legend also in Hadith abdah muak was a legend in Hadith and he eventually he has his own M as well I know some of the hania tried to say he was hanafi but he wasn't I hate to disappoint them he actually had his his own M Abdullah muak did and the interesting thing it's actually famous the dialogue between him and IM Abu hanifah that when they CU they do spend

some time together that um that when he's praying his Salah he to do so um when they finish their Salah I mean this is transmitted it's actually also transmitted by this as well that he turned abif turned to him and said like he says that are you trying to take off and he says I'm okay he says if I don't take off with my first one it's all right I'm going to stay stay on the ground but the point is that um Abdullah muak he he

spends his life dedicates it to obviously the Shar and Toth and he's sorting out who's lying and who you know which chains are fabricated and which is this and which is that and who's weak and preserving the Sunnah of the Prophet preserving this Dean now when it approach when the time comes for him to almost die and he's approaching his his final moment moments and he's lying there some people come to him and they say they say to him abdah they

say that who who do we go to who will be here to kind of serve this this science this ilm after you who and W what a response Allah I think we should take a break build the suspense he says ad he

says then he says that Legends will be born for it that this is nothing and then you see the likes of IM bukari were not even around at that time emerging IM Muslim Abu da you see all these amazing these Giants of this um rising from nothing this Dean has this amazing almost intrinsic mechanism

about that Allah will send in every generation or however you want to understand it people somebody that will revive or bring back life to this Dean as a means of course the dean in itself will alwayss be about you know that the people want to put out Allah will never allow the dean to be put out but he allows us to be tools and instruments and that is really by the the grace and blessings of

Allah as the the poet he says that that these are things or names or whatever we're mentioning that don't actually increase all in in our case we're talking about Allah but who we're talking about in any they don't actually increase that that person in any type of notoriety or being known that we only mention them in a way that we kind of gain pleasure out so this this in a way is the times that we're in

they they are all striking but they are also exciting times and I know we can't see the excitement but it is there that for us to take an interest in this thing I mean who would have thought that people would gather here people a few generation I mean I say a few gener sorry few decades ago a few decades ago there were Muslims here I mean most of us let's say British BN born or whatever I mean our parents or whoever came here they obviously had an understanding who would have thought that there would be after a few decades there would be people here talking about abdah or IM Malik or these type of

people who who would have thought that we can't envisage what's yet to come you know sometimes you read these these books of let's say I was reading not so long ago I was going through this uh um this text on on the science of it's to do with Hadith and the narrators and boy and it was actually a something almost like a um a critique you could say of earlier Scholars on and I was thinking who what the how did this they saying oh and this person said this Hadith is actually he got it

wrong because it come from this angle as well and this is this person said this narrator only was the only one that transmitted this actually it's transmitted also in by here but it's transmitted byadi there this person was you know declared unknown but that's just his K actually he and this was a this was this book is was byed alari who's only who was around 50 years

ago I was thinking how did this person how on Earth can you know that type of stuff the way the way I mean with the with the type of oh no actually you know one thing thing Jalal didn't realize is it's in that book as well oh yes no we said this and but however what he didn't realize is it was transmitted in the of over there under this name and that's actually the same thinking what the how how does somebody do that we're thinking that Allah maybe in a few generations to come people sitting here will be talking like that see it's impossible seems

impossible possible to us it is nothing for Allah this is Islam for us in our life in this Century in this place the Baton that has been placed in our hands but we have to take this seriously but in its true reality you see one of the problems that we seem to understand is that we think and I say we I mean this is a common notion out there that Islam is something like okay now that now I've become religious now it means I've just got turned into somebody
