[3:07]Alhamdulillah.

[3:45]Ali Muhammaduhammed Ali Muhammad Ibraimba.

[4:44]dear brothers and sisters, it is known or widely mentioned that the

[4:54]United States is the land of immigrants.

[4:55]the first who set foot on this land according to the European

[5:06]narrative or was Christopher Columbus and then later on waves of migrations

[5:12]began with the first migrants that came who were the Puritans.

[5:18]They came to this land so that they can find opportunities in

[5:25]life, religious opportunities, freedom and they were escaping religious persecution and they

[5:31]came to this new land to find more opportunities so that they

[5:38]could live their life freely after escaping the persecution that they were

[5:43]facing in Europe in the United Kingdom.

[5:45]And that began waves of migrations that began to come to this

[5:53]land, to North America, to the United States.

[5:55]And this country was made up on migrants coming.

[6:02]Of course, there were indigenous people that were living here, the Native

[6:06]Americans, but their rights were totally taken away from them.

[6:09]their land was taken away from them and the United States became

[6:15]a land where people coming from all over the world, especially Europe

[6:19]at the time in the beginning they made up the United States

[6:23]and immigrants kept pouring in until you have the constitution and then

[6:30]the United States became what it is right now.

[6:32]From amongst the immigrants that came to this country were the Muslims.

[6:38]The Muslims were also immigrants.

[6:42]Just like the Christians came as immigrants, just like some of the

[6:45]Jews came as immigrants, just like other religious groups and minorities came

[6:49]here as immigrants either fleeing religious persecution or seeking new opportunities.

[6:53]The Muslims are also a part of that group that came to

[7:00]seek and find new opportunities.

[7:01]And in fact, Muslims, there were two waves of Muslims that came

[7:06]to the United States.

[7:09]We usually talk about the second wave which is the Muslims that

[7:11]came in the last 100 years.

[7:12]The Muslims that came from the Middle East in the last 100

[7:17]years.

[7:16]However, there is a wave that was before that and it was

[7:21]and it is rarely acknowledged and that was groups of people that

[7:25]were forced to come to this land.

[7:26]Who were they?

[7:28]They were the slaves from amongst the slaves that were brought here

[7:32]in the last 200 and 300 years.

[7:35]Historians today they say about 15% of those slaves were Muslim.

[7:42]They were forced to come here and they were forced to become

[7:45]Christian and they were forced to let go of all of their

[7:47]teachings, their heritage, everything that they had.

[7:50]They had to change it alto together and they were enslaved.

[7:52]This was one wave of Muslims that first came to this country.

[8:00]And then the second wave is the last hundred years as a

[8:04]result of turmoil in the in the Middle East, as a result

[8:09]of the wars and the suffering that is going on in predominantly

[8:15]Muslim countries like for example Iraq, like Syria after after the um

[8:21]the war in in Yemen, after World War I, after World War

[8:28]to more and more Muslims began to migrate to the United States

[8:32]just as just as Christians were migrating before that from Europe.

[8:38]Then now you have waves of Muslims that are migrating and they

[8:42]came here Muslims came to this country for the very same reason

[8:46]that non-Muslims came to this country.

[8:49]They came to find opportunities in life.

[8:52]They came to find religious freedom.

[8:54]They came to grow and this is a right and a desire

[9:00]that every single person has.

[9:02]However, today, my dear brothers and sisters, we live in a time

[9:09]where from amongst the minorities that live in the United States, the

[9:15]Muslims find themselves targeted the most.

[9:19]And the Muslims find themselves projected to anti-Muslim bigotry, to hate, and

[9:29]to constant attacks.

[9:30]And this comes from all levels of society.

[9:34]You find from top all the way from the president of the

[9:37]United States publicly without any push back attacking Muslims.

[9:43]You find this taking place in Congress, members of Congress, whether Senate,

[9:49]whether um congressmen, and you also find it in the media.

[9:52]And it's become something that is very normalized.

[9:56]And you won't find a minority that is attacked in the way

[10:00]that Muslims are attacked publicly on the media, in the debates, in

[10:06]the political debates, the way Muslims are attacked.

[10:08]You won't find that.

[10:10]Any minority that is attacked the way Muslims are attacked or badmouthed,

[10:15]you find push back.

[10:15]You find some people have to resign from their positions of power.

[10:19]Some people have to uh they're held accountable.

[10:24]But unfortunately, we have reached a point where attacking Islam and attacking

[10:31]the Muslim community and accusing Muslims of having um not having loyalty

[10:36]to the United States, accusing Muslims of terrorism, accusing Muslims of being

[10:42]and work and working against the United States and having an agenda

[10:45]against the United States.

[10:47]This has become something that is very normal.

[10:49]You see it all the time.

[10:52]You hear about it all the time right now.

[10:52]For example, you see in the debate with um Mamdani who is

[10:59]about to become the mayor of the mayor of New York.

[11:04]You see that attacking Muslims just attacking him purely because he's a

[11:08]Muslim.

[11:09]Not because he said anything, not because he did anything that is

[11:12]that goes against taking away anyone's rights.

[11:16]Purely because he's a Muslim.

[11:17]That makes him subject to assault.

[11:19]that makes him subject to attack and it is perfectly okay in

[11:23]this country hate crime hate speech is something that is that society

[11:28]is generally against but when it's against Muslims it is undermined and

[11:36]it is seems to be okay and this has repercussions remember in

[11:39]the beginning of the war in the beginning of this genocide that

[11:45]took place a six-year-old child a six-year-old child in Chicago was stabbed

[11:48]to death by an old man.

[11:52]Where where does this come from?

[11:54]This comes this is is fueled by the hate and it materializes.

[11:57]It materializes when you see their attacks against Muslims.

[12:04]When you see mosques have to open their, you know, check their

[12:07]email or listen to their answering machine and you see a list

[12:10]of people calling and attacking.

[12:11]And even here we get it every once in a while.

[12:14]You you see people calling from all over.

[12:17]you don't even know where they're calling from and they're just spewing

[12:20]hatred going off for 5 minutes, 10 minutes talking about uh Islam

[12:27]and the Muslim community.

[12:29]And you see that this hate that mainstream society that politicians have

[12:34]made okay, it materializes into pain.

[12:38]It materializes into violence and it dehumanizes Muslims.

[12:41]And this is what we're seeing right now.

[12:44]Right now, the last two years, Palestine, Palestinians, Gaza was being attacked.

[12:50]Syria, Yemen, Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, all of them were attacked.

[12:53]And if you, if a Muslim were to come and speak out

[12:58]against it, right away they come and they say you're sympathizing with

[13:01]terrorism.

[13:01]So, you don't even have a right to defend your own people.

[13:05]You don't even have the voice to defend your own people.

[13:10]So here this rhetoric has become very dangerous and we've reached a

[13:14]point where we see it it's very clearly right now for example

[13:17]how many churches are in the United States there there are church

[13:21]bells there are so many things that are going on that are

[13:27]associated with other religions you see American politicians they go to Israel

[13:32]and they're wear they're wearing the the Jewish uh hat and everything

[13:37]everything's normal.

[13:37]normal.

[13:38]But if for example someone were to do anything that is associated

[13:43]with Islam or shows some sympathy with Islam and Muslims right away

[13:47]this person is targeted.

[13:48]So now this brings us to a question and I've seen many

[13:53]Muslims in their private circles when we're gathering they ask me this

[14:01]questions.

[13:57]They ask they say are we Muslims do we have the right

[14:04]to live in this country like everyone else?

[14:06]Do we have the freedom to live in this country or should

[14:09]I go somewhere else?

[14:13]And this question comes up more often than we imagine, more often

[14:18]than we think, especially in a land and it's the irony is

[14:21]that this is a land of opportunities.

[14:23]This is a land of minorities.

[14:26]This is a land where people come to find religious freedom.

[14:28]But you find many people they're struggling with this question.

[14:31]Are we secondass citizens?

[14:34]Do we have the same rights as everyone else?

[14:38]Uh is it okay for Islam and the Muslim community to constantly

[14:42]and consistently be attacked by politicians?

[14:45]Is this something okay?

[14:46]We see many Muslims uh they ask this question and many Muslims

[14:49]especially for example college students or or young students they say I

[14:57]don't feel safe practicing my religion.

[14:59]I don't feel safe.

[14:59]A sister might say, "I don't feel safe practicing my hijab because

[15:02]of the hate that's out there.

[15:04]I don't feel safe praying in public because of the hate that

[15:08]is there." So, how do we deal with this?

[15:10]Should we get up and pack our bags and leave?

[15:12]For example, this is what some people say.

[15:16]My dear brothers and sisters, from an Islamic perspective, land and earth

[15:23]belongs to who?

[15:26]Belongs to Allah subhanana wa ta'ala.

[15:29]And you have the right to live wherever you want as long

[15:32]as you're not breaking the law, as long as you're not taking

[15:38]away anyone else's land.

[15:38]And as long as your personal religious freedoms are secured, meaning you

[15:44]could pray, you could go to the masjid, you could practice, you

[15:47]could fast during the month of Ramadan, you could do that, you

[15:51]could live anywhere you want.

[15:52]The land belongs to Allah subhanaa tala.

[15:54]There's no nowhere written down that Muslims, for example, have to be

[15:58]living in the Middle East.

[16:00]In fact, the majority of the Muslims don't even live in the

[16:02]Middle East.

[16:02]A lot of people don't know that.

[16:04]The majority of Muslims don't even speak Arabic.

[16:07]We, a lot of us, we right away we assume and here

[16:08]in America, a lot of people assume that Islam and Middle East,

[16:13]they're always together.

[16:13]No.

[16:13]The majority of the Muslims don't even live in the Middle East.

[16:16]The majority of the Muslims don't even speak Arabic.

[16:19]Why?

[16:20]Because Islam is a universal religion.

[16:23]Islam surpasses all boundaries.

[16:24]All ethnic boundaries, all cultural boundaries, all geographic boundaries.

[16:29]They're surpassed by the religion of Islam.

[16:32]So, can I, as a Muslim, live in the United States?

[16:37]Yes, I can.

[16:36]as long as my religious freedoms, as long as I'm able to

[16:42]practice my faith, as long as I'm able to pray, as long

[16:44]as I'm able to um do what I'm supposed to do as

[16:49]a practicing Muslim, not to impose my religion on other people, but

[16:52]just to be a Muslim on my own, yes, I could do

[16:56]that.

[16:57]And in fact, we see that the Muslim community, there's a lot

[17:01]of maybe there's a lot of negative things that we hear.

[17:05]Yes, there's a lot of Muslims are being targeted.

[17:06]Maybe you see that there's discrimination, rising hate against Muslims.

[17:11]But on the other hand, you find that there's a real positive

[17:15]growth of Islam and the Muslim community in this country.

[17:18]You right now there are over 3,000 mosques in the United States.

[17:25]Over 3,000 mosques in the United States.

[17:27]And there are Muslims everywhere.

[17:29]You travel, you see halal food everywhere.

[17:30]Muslims are integrated.

[17:32]you have in the top careers you have doctors, engineers, lawyers, different

[17:37]types of careers, you find the top of those careers are Muslims.

[17:42]So the main ruling my dear brothers and sisters when someone is

[17:45]asking this question should I leave?

[17:48]Should I stay somewhere?

[17:50]The main question is am I able to practice my religion?

[17:55]Am I able to pray?

[17:55]Am I able to am I able to truly implement the teachings

[18:00]of my faith?

[18:00]This is what we have to ask ourselves.

[18:02]And there's no land that is more sacred than another land.

[18:09]Look, even Mecca, Mecca, which is the holiest city, the city that

[18:14]has the Kaa in it, when Muslims were unable to practice their

[18:19]religion, what did the Quran tell them to do?

[18:22]The Quran told them to migrate.

[18:24]The Quran told them to leave.

[18:28]So what does that mean?

[18:28]That means that I am supposed to put myself somewhere where I'm

[18:32]able to practice my faith.

[18:35]There's no land that is inherently better than another land.

[18:37]Yes, of course, Mecca is a sacred land.

[18:40]Kbala, Najaf, these these cities, they're sacred cities.

[18:43]But does that mean that all Muslims have to go and live

[18:46]in these sacred cities?

[18:48]No.

[18:47]Muslims are Islam is greater than that.

[18:49]Islam is is much larger than that.

[18:54]We have to um live wherever we can live with freedom, wherever

[18:57]we can have opportunities and wherever we can practice our faith.

[19:02]And in fact, in the early days of Islam, when the command,

[19:07]the order came from Allah subhana wa ta'ala for people to migrate

[19:12]to leave Mecca, the prophet, he ended up leaving Mecca and many

[19:15]Muslims ended up leaving.

[19:16]Some of them decided to stay.

[19:20]Why?

[19:19]because of their personal attachments, because of their wealth, because of their

[19:23]businesses, because of their family, Allah subhana t brought down a verse

[19:27]about them.

[19:31]Those who they die having oppressed themselves because they chose to put

[19:36]themselves in a wrong environment.

[19:40]They chose to put themselves in an atmosphere that was unhealthy for

[19:45]their religion.

[19:51]The angels will tell them when they die, where were you?

[19:55]Why did you end up dying as a when you when you

[19:58]were a Muslim?

[20:00]They say we were oppressed in the land.

[20:02]We were forced to do the we were forced to do the

[20:08]wrong.

[20:08]And then The angels are going to tell people, "Wasn't the land

[20:20]of God vast enough for you to travel?" So here, my dear

[20:23]brothers and sisters, it all depends on the person.

[20:26]Maybe one person they come to this country and they find that

[20:29]they're losing all their faith, their religion, they're losing everything.

[20:33]What does that person have to do?

[20:36]They have to make sure they put themselves in a healthy environment.

[20:39]Sometimes I see people they've lost their children.

[20:41]They've lost their family.

[20:44]There's nothing left of Islam in them and they say say I

[20:46]have to be here.

[20:47]No, you don't have to be here.

[20:49]Is everywhere.

[20:50]You could go wherever you want.

[20:51]But it's not a general rule that everyone should leave.

[20:53]If you're able to maintain your religion, your religious values, then you

[20:57]are not required to leave.

[21:00]And there are places right now where are worse than we what

[21:04]we are experiencing right now.

[21:08]For example, the weaggguers in China, they were some reports say that

[21:12]they're forced to eat pork.

[21:13]They're forced to drink alcohol.

[21:15]They're forced to uh publicly not practice their faith.

[21:20]So here we understand that holding on to faith is something that

[21:25]is not easy and sometimes you have to migrate.

[21:30]You have to migrate for the sake of for the sake of

[21:32]religious reasons.

[21:34]sometimes for the sake of other opportunities.

[21:37]But for Muslims being in this country, even though you might face

[21:43]difficulties, you might face challenges, you might face um assault, verbal assault,

[21:47]bigotry, hatred, there's a lot of positive things that come out of

[21:54]it because h to another land, there's a lot of positive things

[21:56]that come out of it.

[21:56]And Allah says in the Quran, the one who migrates for the

[22:04]sake of Allah subhana wa tala, the one who migrates for the

[22:08]sake of religious liberties, for the sake of finding a place where

[22:12]they could practice their faith.

[22:28]So Allah says in the Quran, anywhere you go when you migrate,

[22:33]you're going to find you're going to find difficulties, but you're also

[22:38]going to find more opportunities.

[22:39]And today we are we have to strike a balance.

[22:44]There's difficulties that the Muslim community faces, but there are also a

[22:48]lot of opportunities that we have.

[22:49]There are al there is al also a lot of um opportunities

[22:52]where we could spread our faith where we could talk to people

[22:55]where other people learn about Islam where you are able to practice.

[23:01]I know many Muslims in their own Muslim countries, they are more

[23:06]persecuted.

[23:05]They don't have the freedom.

[23:07]Here you actually have the freedom.

[23:09]Here you no one's no one's bothering you based on your religious

[23:13]liberties.

[23:14]And he says the best land for a person to live in

[23:28]is the land that embraces you.

[23:28]not the one that burdens you, not the one that makes you

[23:33]feel like you are targeted and you're attacked.

[23:37]So here we Muslims, it all comes back to what we do,

[23:41]how we protect our own religious liberties and how we how we

[23:48]fight for our own cause and fight for our own justice and

[23:51]our own liberties.

[23:53]In this country, minorities came.

[23:54]They started from nothing and then you find they gained power.

[23:57]They find they gained influence.

[23:59]You find they gained strength.

[24:00]And we also need to do the same thing.

[24:13]Muhammad Aliham.

[24:27]Alhamdulillah.

[24:29]Alhamdulillah.

[24:54]Aliuhammed Muhammad.

[25:06]for Hussein.

[25:36]Hussein Muhammad Ali Muhammad Musham.

[26:00]As we are talking about some of the struggles that the Muslim

[26:09]community faces in this country, the struggles of bigotry, of being targeted,

[26:13]of the anti-Muslim rhetoric that is being thrown at the community from

[26:22]the highest levels of power from the president, Congress, media and also

[26:29]in Hollywood, you see it happening.

[26:32]ing all the time.

[26:31]But then at the same time, you also see that this is

[26:36]also a land where Muslims have found opportunities.

[26:40]This is also a land, a place where Muslims grow.

[26:42]You wouldn't have that growth that you have achieved in your own

[26:49]countries, in your own home countries back home.

[26:50]And this is a land of opportunities for everyone.

[26:53]Just like non-Muslims came here seeking opportunities, Muslims also come come here

[27:00]seeking opportunities.

[27:01]And within the Muslim community, we see that some have fully integrated,

[27:09]others not so much.

[27:09]But then we have to ask a very important question.

[27:14]As a Muslim, what is my responsibility?

[27:17]What is my duty in this country?

[27:19]When I see for example there are opportunities for me to help

[27:24]support the Muslim community grow, do I have to have a role

[27:29]in that or do I just, you know, live my life as

[27:33]if nothing is going on?

[27:33]When I see Islam is being attacked, do I have to say

[27:36]something?

[27:36]Do I have to do something?

[27:38]What is my role and what is my uh responsibility when it

[27:43]comes to this?

[27:46]In the end of the day, we understand that we all have

[27:49]responsibilities.

[27:53]Every single one of us has responsibilities.

[27:55]Just as I have responsibilities towards my family, towards my children, towards

[28:00]my career, towards my health, I also have a responsibility towards my

[28:05]religion, towards my values, defending my faith.

[28:06]Yes.

[28:07]No one is coming and saying we Muslims have to convert everyone

[28:13]and spread Sharia Allah everywhere.

[28:14]No, Shar Allah is not even being implemented in Muslim countries.

[28:16]Let alone no one is coming and saying we want to implement

[28:19]Shar Allah here.

[28:21]Muslims want to live at peace.

[28:23]Muslims want to live comfortably just as everyone else having the same

[28:28]rights having the same um same rights that everyone else has.

[28:34]So what is my duty my dear brothers and sisters?

[28:37]Number one, we have a very important religious duty to understand.

[28:46]We need to change our narrative because there's a lot of Muslims,

[28:52]they think that because I came to this country, because I came

[28:55]to a predominantly non-Muslim country, then Islam is over there and we're

[29:01]here.

[29:03]That's not the case.

[29:01]Islam is a universal religion.

[29:10]That means Islam is for everyone.

[29:16]And perhaps if we change that perspective, because many Muslims, they're very

[29:19]insulated.

[29:19]They're living in a box.

[29:23]I don't bring non-Muslims to the mosque.

[29:24]I don't go somewhere else.

[29:26]I don't interact.

[29:25]If we change the way that we practice, maybe more and more

[29:32]people will get to know about Islam.

[29:33]And this is exactly what Islam is supposed to be for.

[29:39]It's supposed to be for everyone.

[29:40]Islam is not just for the one who was born in the

[29:44]Middle East or born in Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan.

[29:46]No, the Islam is for everyone.

[29:49]And perhaps someone who was born in the United States, someone who

[29:54]was European descent, someone who was born in America, perhaps they could

[30:00]be a better Muslim than someone who was born in a predominantly

[30:05]Muslim country.

[30:06]Is that reality?

[30:05]Yes, that is a reality.

[30:09]So we need to get out of our cultural mindset and we

[30:13]need to understand that Islam is a religion that embraces every culture.

[30:17]While cultures maybe they draw perimeters and they do not allow other

[30:22]people to enter.

[30:24]And this is why I see reverts or converts those who join

[30:29]the religion of Islam.

[30:30]I tell them that perhaps you have an opportunity to become a

[30:34]better Muslim than someone who was born as a Muslim.

[30:39]This is a reality as well.

[30:39]The moment you join the religion of Islam, you are in the

[30:44]eyes of Allah subhanana wa ta'ala equal to everyone else.

[30:47]This is number one.

[30:47]Number two, we Muslims living in a predominantly non-Muslim society, we have

[30:56]to become positive representatives of the religion of Islam.

[30:59]When my neighbor is a non-Muslim and when my coworker is a

[31:03]non-Muslim, when people around me are non-Muslims, whatever they see from me,

[31:07]even the smallest thing, right away, it's going to impact their view

[31:14]on Islam.

[31:14]They're going to look at Islam either in a positive light or

[31:19]in a negative light.

[31:19]And we have to be very careful with that.

[31:23]The hadith of says a Muslim is not the one who prays

[31:35]and whatever you do in your house that's between you and God.

[31:38]But you want to be a good representative of Islam.

[31:44]Meaning people have to find safety from their tongue, from what they

[31:49]say.

[31:50]Be careful how we speak to people.

[31:51]Be careful when we get angry, when we get upset, how we

[31:54]react with people.

[31:57]And do not hurt people.

[31:59]This is something that is very important.

[32:02]am he tells his companions he says you can invite people you

[32:12]could show people the reality of Islam without saying a single word

[32:16]you know most people that fall in love with the religion of

[32:19]Islam and are attracted with the religion of Islam they didn't go

[32:24]and take theology lessons from a Muslim no all they did was

[32:27]they probably met one Muslim and they had a good experience where

[32:30]they talked to this person they they interacted with this person in

[32:36]a positive way and that put a good picture a positive picture

[32:38]of a Muslim in their eyes in their mind.

[32:41]Therefore they came learning about the religion of Islam.

[32:43]This is all it takes.

[32:45]So this is our responsibility my dear brothers and sisters and we

[32:49]have to be very careful.

[32:49]That means the burden on you as a Muslim is even higher

[32:54]to be well behaved to be as best as you could be

[33:01]to be honest to be decent to not hurt people because as

[33:04]soon as something bad happens right away people are going to say

[33:09]this is these are the acts of a Muslim.

[33:11]And number third, my dear brothers and sisters, one of the most

[33:16]important roles and duties that we Muslims have is that we need

[33:22]to be involved in the political process.

[33:25]We need to be involved in our community.

[33:29]I can't be insulated.

[33:29]the the first generation of Muslims, the first migrants that came, maybe

[33:34]there was a language barrier, maybe there were cultural barriers, and they

[33:39]did not feel as comfortable to go out and get involved in

[33:43]the political process.

[33:45]But we can't continue using that same lame excuse.

[33:46]We have to now we have to get involved in the political

[33:52]process.

[33:52]Some people they come and they say, "But it's haram to get

[33:55]involved in the political process." Oh, so it's not haram to pay

[33:57]taxes.

[33:58]It's not haram to support the wrong that's going on.

[34:02]But then when they tell you come and speak, say something, you

[34:04]come and you say it's haram.

[34:05]Doesn't work that way.

[34:08]So if you're paying taxes, then get involved.

[34:09]Have your voice be heard.

[34:13]And this is what we need to do as Muslims.

[34:16]Not to take political positions so that we can enforce Islamic law

[34:20]with our neighbors, with non-Muslims, with people around us.

[34:23]No, this is not what we want.

[34:27]just to guarantee our basic civil liberties, just to guarantee that we

[34:31]are a part of the process, just to guarantee that no one

[34:33]could come and just attack Islam and Muslims and then act like

[34:39]nothing has happened the way it is right now.

[34:42]And this is why we have a need for Muslims, Muslim youth.

[34:44]I know every parent, they want their child to be either a

[34:48]doctor or a lawyer.

[34:48]But it's okay if they could join journalism.

[34:50]It's okay if they could get involved in media.

[34:54]It's okay if they could have other influential roles in in in

[34:57]your community in your society because that is how you will be

[35:04]able to uplift not only your own rights but the rights of

[35:07]others around you because Allah subhana wa ta'ala has given us a

[35:10]very clear and simple formula and that is Allah does not change

[35:23]the circumstances of of a community until they change their own.

[35:26]And that means there needs to be more civic activism.

[35:31]There needs to be more involvement there.

[35:34]We need to engage with the community around us.

[35:39]And if we do that, then we will be able to guarantee

[35:40]that we have a voice for ourselves.

[35:42]And this is the only way that we will be able to

[35:48]guarantee Islam for ourselves and future generations to come in this country.

[35:54]We ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to bless the Muslim community and

[35:58]give the Muslim community the strength to not only uphold the religion

[36:02]of Islam, not only hold on and maintain to the religion of

[36:08]Islam, but also to be advocates for Islam and the Muslim community

[36:13]and the rights of others and especially minorities in this country.

[36:18]We ask Allah subhanana wa ta'ala to bless you all.

[36:54]Um, so
