[0:10]foreign a foreign [Music] and if the people of the towns had

[1:35]believed and guarded against evil we would certainly have opened up for

[1:41]them blessings from the heaven and the earth but they rejected so

[1:45]we overtook them for what they had earned after establishing the aim

[1:56]and objective of the mahadawi mission the mission of imam al-mahdi alayhi

[2:00]and the establishment of his government and discussing the tools that the

[2:05]imam salaam allah allah would use to implement this justice and to

[2:08]establish the religion we have now begun to look at what the

[2:15]world would look like during the era of the imam and the

[2:23]s of this divine government and we discussed last night the technological

[2:27]advancements of the imam and the importance of knowledge at the time

[2:32]of the imam alaihissalam and we discussed whether the rule of the

[2:36]imam salam allah would be via miracles is this what the imam

[2:43]alayhi salaam relies on just how he establishes his authority and achieves

[2:48]his mission or that or is it that the imam alaihissalam relies

[2:52]on natural causes and cause and effect and we said that it

[2:55]is one it is both establishes his rule through cause and effect

[3:05]and through natural causes and natural means and also allah azzawajal in

[3:09]order to elevate the status of the imam and in order to

[3:13]highlight his stature also provides the imam with numerous miracles one of

[3:20]the components or one of the blessings that we will witness in

[3:25]sha allah if we are amongst those who reach the government and

[3:32]the nation of imam is the economic growth and the abundance of

[3:43]wealth and of blessings that the earth will live in at the

[3:47]time of imam zaman economic prosperity we learn from our and from

[3:57]the holy quran at the time of imam al-mahidi will be the

[4:00]law of the day we have several narrations inshallah we said that

[4:06]we bring about these narrations not simply for entertainment but so one

[4:09]can develop in his heart a strong love and admiration and a

[4:18]craving for the government of this emma which is the government of

[4:23]our muhammad ali this economic prosperity we have the same question the

[4:35]same question that we asked last night regarding the knowledge and the

[4:41]technological advancements the same question this economic prosperity what is what is

[4:47]its cause where does it come from why does it come why

[4:51]wasn't it present before why do we only see it at the

[4:55]time of the imam we'll start with a few narrations inshaallah regarding

[5:01]this economic prosperity in a narration a tribute to imam al-baqara where

[5:09]the imam we mentioned a similar narration in earlier rights will come

[5:19]and he will judge between people and rule between them the same

[5:24]rulings of dawood or in the same method that dawud alaihis salaam

[5:27]ruled and in the same method that muhammad sallallahu alaihi wrote with

[5:32]fahin and then when the imam rules with these rulings the earth

[5:44]the ground will bring forth its treasures and it will bring forth

[5:54]its blessings and its bounties and then the man from amongst you

[6:09]will not find a place to give in his charity he says

[6:19]because wealth will encompass all of the believers at this time can

[6:24]you imagine that you are walking around begging people to take your

[6:31]sadaqa and you are not finding anyone worthy of this sadaka no

[6:34]one is worthy of this charity no one needs this charity everyone

[6:38]is comfortable everyone is happy people have enough money there is prosperity

[6:43]there is wealth there is bounty there is sufficient it is plentiful

[6:49]this is how the hadith describe the government of imam now there

[6:59]are three reasons why three main reasons that bring about this economic

[7:05]prosperity the first reason is through the imam alaihissalam's miracles we have

[7:13]a narration sharif the first part of the hadith is not our

[7:32]concern we'll translate it and we'll speak about it in coming nights

[7:36]in sha allah will aid him with fear meaning he will put

[7:50]fear in the hearts of his enemies and he will also grant

[7:54]him victory and that the earth will be folded for him meaning

[7:59]that imam alayhi salaam can travel at great speeds great distances are

[8:05]great speeds now here and the hidden treasures of the earth will

[8:12]come forth we have narration saying that the imam alayhi salam will

[8:18]go to egypt and will bring forth the treasures and the secrets

[8:21]from beneath the pyramids so the first one is there'll be economic

[8:27]prosperity because of the abundance of miracles the second reason is because

[8:36]the imam alaihissalam has established a government as we said of justice

[8:40]and has established and upheld the quran and this is where we

[8:47]refer to the verse we opened up with if we pay attention

[8:49]here to this verse what's allah say about this prosperity he says

[8:55]and if the people of the towns had believed and guarded against

[9:04]evil quran [Music] that if the people of the towns have believed

[9:13]and guarded against evil allah azzawajal says we would have certainly opened

[9:19]up for them blessings from the heaven and the earth so allah

[9:25]is saying that when the people are god fearing when people have

[9:32]established truth and have established justice this is tied to the barakah

[9:36]this is tied to the bounties that allah azzawajal will bring down

[9:41]on the people why because we said there is a difference between

[9:47]having belief being a man and being someone who establishes the religion

[9:56]we mention the verse the other night allah azzawajal addressing saying that

[10:03]had they upheld had they upheld and established the scriptures before them

[10:08]we would have fed them or they would have eaten from above

[10:13]their heads and beneath their feet now this is an indication to

[10:20]the two sides we are speaking about the first is the side

[10:22]of miracles that allah azzawajal will bless them with abundance the second

[10:28]one is that had these people and us too the people of

[10:33]the quran had we established religion had we upheld the holy quran

[10:37]and upheld the economic system of the holy quran and upheld the

[10:48]economic system of the holy quran then wealth will be in abundance

[10:54]naturally allah azzawajal when he put us here on this earth he

[11:01]placed us on this earth with all the components and necessities of

[11:07]life in abundance in great abundance there is enough food for everybody

[11:13]there is enough water for everybody there is enough shelter for everybody

[11:18]there is enough groups for crops for everyone there is enough wealth

[11:28]for everyone however it is only when man decided to follow his

[11:36]desire and incline towards his satanic desires did the hoarding and the

[11:43]greed begin did one team or one side prosper at the expense

[11:46]of the rest you see islam has a very detailed economic system

[11:56]very detailed for example when we look at the tax system in

[12:05]islam when we discuss homs and zakat if you open up without

[12:14]getting into a jurisprudential talk here or discussion but if you look

[12:18]in the books of jurisprudence on what we are meant to be

[12:25]paying homs on you will find that apart from your excessive annual

[12:34]savings you will find that there is homson precious metals that come

[12:41]out of the ground like gold and silver and titanium and whatever

[12:46]precious metal iron copper all of it all of this belongs to

[12:53]the imam so on all of it we pay homs in society

[13:03]we know that when cash changes hands this is how an economy

[13:08]runs and i'm not saying that we shouldn't be saving you can

[13:17]save but even on your savings there is prompts if your savings

[13:20]are excessive if your savings are more then what is necessary refer

[13:28]to the books of your maraja on what home supplies but one

[13:33]of the philosophies behind homs is this to have continuous cash flow

[13:38]so that wealth continues to flow and money continues to flow in

[13:44]society and on the other hand we have so many narrations regarding

[13:52]what we call al-attikar is to have a monopoly to have to

[14:05]hoard particular um how can we say products for example just so

[14:13]we can understand the concept of ethical this monopoly or this hoarding

[14:20]one that a recent example covered hit and right before we went

[14:31]into lockdown here in sydney and this happens every time we feel

[14:36]we are going into lockdown what happens people rush to the supermarket

[14:39]and for some absurd reason clear out the shelves of essentials bottled

[14:47]water pasta flour bread for some very odd reason toilet paper we

[14:56]don't know why maybe they misunderstand what covert does or the effects

[15:02]of covert but anyway and people go and buy much more than

[15:07]what they want much more than what they need much more than

[15:13]what they will use to the extent that more often than not

[15:17]a lot of it is thrown away especially if it's foods fresh

[15:20]foods and they hoard and they hold on to these products this

[15:30]is called this hoarding in our jurisprudence is haram it's not macro

[15:40]it's haram i'll bring you a few narrations regarding this type of

[15:43]warning this is one narration by the holy messenger regarding the one

[16:00]that hoards wealth and essentials essential food or necessities of life such

[16:06]as petrol for example the holy messenger says in one narration he

[16:18]who hoards these essentials and deprives others of it is cursed in

[16:26]another narration the one who hoards in our markets the markets of

[16:39]the muslims who goes out and buys grains and flour and rice

[16:44]and whatever is necessary for life buys them in bulk so that

[16:50]he may store them so that he may have a monopoly on

[16:57]them to drive the price up and later on sell it at

[16:59]a higher price the prophet says this person it is as if

[17:08]he has disbelieved in the book of allah he's a disbeliever in

[17:14]the book of allah in another narration will be resurrected on the

[17:42]day of judgment written on his forehead will be yak o disbeliever

[17:54]glad tidings to you or not so glad tidings but be assured

[17:59]of your seat in jahannam why when we see this alhamdulillah here

[18:11]in australia and in most places of the world maybe we only

[18:15]saw this on a small scale during particular emergencies correct we saw

[18:20]this now during covert but if you go to other parts of

[18:26]the world for example lebanon today because of the unjust economic sanctions

[18:37]placed on lebanon we find many people unjust people not god fearing

[18:46]people godless people if we are even going to call them people

[18:50]what they do is for example there is a government subsidy on

[18:57]petrol they know that there is today i can purchase petrol at

[19:02]a cheap price if i own a petrol station or a gas

[19:04]station i can buy it at a cheap price from the government

[19:08]and instead of selling it to the people at this particular price

[19:12]what do they do they hoard they hold on to this product

[19:18]whether it be petrol or gasoline or whatever they hold on to

[19:24]it what's this do it drives the prices up and then in

[19:29]a month or two they will sell it at triple or quadruple

[19:34]the price in order to make a profit this creates chaos in

[19:45]society when a society does not have financial stability when a society

[19:53]cannot guarantee for its citizens financial growth when a government cannot guarantee

[20:08]or provide for its citizens economic stability the seeds of discord begin

[20:16]to flourish in the hearts of its citizens there is a saying

[20:25]which is wrongfully attributed to in fact attributed to where he says

[20:33]i am astonished at the one who cannot guarantee his essentials for

[20:40]the day meaning the one who cannot guarantee food and water and

[20:44]shelter for himself and his family i am astonished that he does

[20:50]not unsheath his sword because when people are hungry when people can't

[20:58]guarantee their essentials of life when people cannot feed their wife their

[21:08]children when people don't have money to buy medicine people start to

[21:15]look outside the law and outside the means of the law and

[21:20]outside the civil protocols you try going hungry for a day try

[21:30]and insha allah you never witness this but try having a child

[21:37]who is sick a few months old with a temperature of 38

[21:43]crying screaming bloody murder day and night and you cannot find medicine

[21:53]for him because the godless have hoarded this medicine it's not that

[21:58]it's not there it's there but they have hidden it so that

[22:01]they may sell it at a later time at an inflated price

[22:06]and then god forbid something happens to this child so islam and

[22:13]its economic system has put in place controls in order to prevent

[22:20]this so we see economic growth and economic prosperity in the government

[22:28]of imam al-mahdi alaihissalam because we said a allah sends down his

[22:34]bounties from the sky and brings forth the treasures of the earth

[22:40]and be because sharia is applied because the book of allah is

[22:50]applied because the islamic economic system is applied because the islamic judicial

[22:53]system is applied it guarantees that such evildoers cannot hoard and corrupt

[23:04]society economically and just let us focus on the issue of the

[23:13]imam alaihissalam bringing forth the bounties of the earth just so we

[23:19]can understand brothers and sisters how much we have been robbed you

[23:27]and i have been robbed the muslims of today have been robbed

[23:34]blind when we speak about the bounties of the earth we know

[23:41]today in the 21st century the greatest bounty after water of course

[23:47]which is now becoming scarce is petrol it's what makes the earth

[23:57]go around it's a reason we're able to have energy it's a

[24:00]reason our cars drive it's a reason our produce gets from place

[24:04]to place our planes fly etcetera etcetera it makes the earth go

[24:07]around allah azzawajal has blessed this um and placed the message of

[24:19]rasulallah in a geographical location economically strategic with these vast bounties being

[24:31]plentiful plentiful we are the people of oil we are the people

[24:40]of natural gas the entire muslim world sits on trillions and trillions

[24:50]of cubic meters of oil and gas trillions not billions trillions and

[25:03]yet the poorest nations in the world are muslim nations you can

[25:13]go today to one of the largest exporters of oil and gas

[25:17]in the world the kingdom of alisod and you will find people

[25:27]who do not have money to eat every day and who eat

[25:32]every other day you will find that there is the extremely rich

[25:39]and the extremely poor and you will find the same in the

[25:50]shaykhs and kingdoms of bahrain and the emirates and oman and kuwait

[25:59]where the royal families and those around them live in excessive gluttonous

[26:09]wealth and their people amongst the poorest in the world had we

[26:21]established and upheld the quran and sunnah regarding this wealth and had

[26:29]been distributed amongst the muslims equally and justfully and had it been

[26:37]used for the embarrassment of the muslims think of the outcome i'll

[26:42]draw you a picture imagine this imagine the oil the natural gas

[26:50]the crude oil the petrol all these energy resources which are found

[26:57]in arabia and the near east in the islamic republic of iran

[27:10]so imagine today iran kuwait bahrain saudi arabia oman the emirates turkey

[27:21]all of these lebanon lebanon has great economic potential gas and oil

[27:33]fields some of the biggest in the world but they are not

[27:36]allowed to touch it but imagine all of these nations with these

[27:44]energy resources with all of this petrol and all of this oil

[27:49]imagine all of them as one mega economy one superpower with this

[27:57]wealth distributed amongst its citizens and the rest of it used for

[28:04]the embarrassment of the ummah what other superpower would exist we would

[28:10]be the superpower we would rule the world with a tap do

[28:20]what we say or we shut off energy to the rest of

[28:24]the world the world will be at our feet and this is

[28:32]the main reason the main reason that the enemies of this ummah

[28:42]have established these corrupt regimes in our regions so that our economies

[28:51]are never united and this wealth is never spread and we are

[28:58]never making use of it and putting it to use where it

[29:01]is meant to be and this brings me to the third reason

[29:07]why there will be economic prosperity in a very interesting narration the

[29:17]prophet such a strange narration by the holy messenger he says he

[29:44]says if the mahdi were to rise he would eradicate what is

[29:58]protection money that you pay to the oppressor it is a tax

[30:11]you pay to the oppressor had this policy where they would pay

[30:20]the romans a particular tax or give them authority or autonomy over

[30:23]particular cities and regions in the islamic empire just to be protected

[30:30]from them and or don't attack us we'll pay you this much

[30:32]we'll continue to pay you this particular tax and at the same

[30:40]time because we pay you these taxes we pay you this protection

[30:45]money this extortion you will protect us when we need you which

[30:50]is what they did when muawiyah fought military advisors political advisers coming

[31:00]from the roman empire and advising muawiyah and when we say this

[31:18]extortion money we're not talking about a few dollars here we're talking

[31:23]about great amounts of wealth that are given to the oppressors by

[31:33]these oppressive regimes in the name of islam in order for them

[31:40]to be protected and in order for them to benefit from these

[31:44]oppressive entities today we see this not only do we see a

[31:53]simple we see it on a grand scale while you and i

[31:57]are being robbed we have a right that has been stripped of

[32:02]us and stripped away from our parents and because of this we

[32:06]have been forced into exile forced brothers and sisters your parents your

[32:12]grandparents were forced into exile nobody deliberately wants to leave his homeland

[32:16]nobody if it wasn't for the lack of security and the corruption

[32:23]and the bloodshed and the oppression and their tyranny none of our

[32:28]parents would leave we have been forced into exile because of these

[32:36]tyrannical regimes who have taken the wealth which is rightfully ours and

[32:43]they have taken it and used it to subdue us and oppress

[32:47]us and to pay and give a great bulk of it to

[32:52]the enemies of this ummah a recent example in history and by

[32:58]the way this happens every single day every single day but a

[33:04]great example and many of you are aware of it happened a

[33:09]few years ago when trump went to saudi arabia in one visit

[33:18]one visit look at the look at the misery of this ummah

[33:27]he visits the holiest of lands the land of the kaab the

[33:34]land of mecca medina the home of rasulullah and meets with he

[33:44]who claims to be the custodian of the two holy shrines the

[33:53]center of the islamic world and he is welcomed like a hero

[34:01]like a champion of the muslim world like a friend of the

[34:05]muslim world and in one meeting he takes away from the wealth

[34:11]of this ummah half a trillion dollars 500 billion dollars you know

[34:22]what that means you know what 500 billion dollars means means 500

[34:27]million million half a trillion dollars in one meeting from the wealth

[34:38]of this ummah was given to this wretched monster and in the

[34:50]very same city that this meeting took place there are muslims that

[34:55]eat garbage that every night go and scour in the rubbish bins

[35:02]to eat next door in neighboring yemen there are muslims who thank

[35:17]allah azzawajal when there is a locust plague because they view this

[35:21]as an abundance of food over one million children in yemen are

[35:34]dying or will die of starvation because of the blockade and embargo

[35:41]of alisod and they don't need half a trillion dollars they don't

[35:53]need 500 if they were given 1 billion dollars the people of

[36:00]yemen will eat and develop and prosper will eradicate this practice because

[36:14]he will eradicate these hypocrites and these terrorists who rule over us

[36:24]they will be removed and this wealth will be regained so imagine

[36:31]how much we are giving to them if rasulullah is saying that

[36:38]you will prosper because of this you see when it comes to

[36:53]the islamic economic system and it has we can speak for nights

[37:00]and nights on end about the components of economy in islam but

[37:05]this system is designed in such a manner that if were if

[37:13]it were to be implemented properly no muslim rather no citizen muslim

[37:23]or not of this state will go to sleep hungry you know

[37:30]one of the crimes of those committed before amir al-mu'min one of

[37:36]the things that led to the ummah coming to the dwarf salaam

[37:41]begging him to take the reigns of this ummah one of the

[37:48]things that led to the revolution and overthrow of the third is

[37:53]this corruption baitul mal the treasury of the muslims they saying in

[38:02]a narration that when amir al-mu'min hallem when he gained control of

[38:05]the treasury and he opened it up he was astonished with the

[38:11]amount of wealth in it gold dinas and him stored and in

[38:23]there along with the wheat and the barley salaam commanded his companions

[38:28]empty it all of it empty all of it all these gold

[38:35]coins and all this wheat and all this bali and distribute it

[38:38]amongst the muslims what are we doing what good is wealth if

[38:44]you hoard it look at the powers that be today we have

[38:55]hundreds of millions not tens hundreds of millions of people suffering from

[39:03]starvation in africa and in yemen and parts of asia hundreds of

[39:09]millions and every single day don't take this from me go and

[39:16]look it up and every single day in order to maintain the

[39:23]price of certain products like rice like wheat like barley which are

[39:28]essential in life the great capital powers dump millions of tons of

[39:39]these products in the ocean in order to maintain their price these

[39:51]are the nations that claim that they are at the forefront of

[39:56]democracy and of humanity and they want to dictate to us what

[40:02]democracy is and what humanity is this these people who have starved

[40:09]half the world who have forced half the world into submission through

[40:16]the most gruesome of wars and i tell you brothers and sisters

[40:24]an economical war is much more gruesome than a military war ask

[40:31]me i've seen both i've seen both what these last two years

[40:40]have done to our brothers and sisters in lebanon no war zionist

[40:47]or otherwise has done talk to people who have survived the civil

[40:52]war the invasion of 82 the war of 96 the war of

[40:57]2006 and they will tell you we have reached a stage we

[40:59]are begging for those days to return because when you starve a

[41:08]people when you deprive them of their basic necessities when people have

[41:12]to line up for four or five hours just to get a

[41:18]few liters of petrol so they can go to a job which

[41:24]no longer pays them more than 50 dollars a month so that

[41:27]they can provide for a family that live in a house that

[41:33]has no power you know what this does to a people the

[41:36]psyche of the human brain changes the way people think changes it

[41:43]alters you it changes you you become less human and it is

[41:53]only because we have placed our economic decisions in the hands of

[41:59]those who are not god fearing and in the hands of those

[42:04]who have allied themselves with tyranny that we have reached this point

[42:11]it is only because we have abandoned our islamic duties of zakat

[42:18]and homs many of us alhamdulillah perform our jury of zakat and

[42:23]homs but i tell you you'll be surprised at the number of

[42:27]so-called god-fearing people who will pray and fast and go to hajj

[42:31]and give zakat and give sadaqah but when it comes to homs

[42:38]this 20 this is a red line and they will look for

[42:49]every loophole to get away from it do you know who you

[42:52]are who you are escaping do you know who you are trying

[42:56]to fool do you know who you are stealing from in fact

[43:05]all your wealth is his all he has asked for is 20

[43:11]twenty percent and we have abandoned some of us this rajib and

[43:19]we are okay with seeing our neighbors starve and live on the

[43:25]brink or under poverty and we are okay with witnessing what is

[43:28]happening to our brothers and sisters whether they be in iraq or

[43:32]in bahrain or in yemen or in lebanon anywhere in the world

[43:35]we are okay with that poverty as long as we maintain our

[43:42]gluttonous life if we are stingy with the imam alaihissalam today in

[43:51]his occultation i guarantee you i guarantee you you will be stingy

[43:58]at the advent of the imam alaihis you know many in kufa

[44:06]that sent for imam al-hussein alaihissalam many of them really wanted imam

[44:11]al-hussein to come if not all of them genuinely wanted al hussain

[44:18]to come but as soon as ibn ziyad arrived in kufa and

[44:29]they realized that this is going to cost them their businesses and

[44:36]they'll be losing wealth and they'll be losing an income many of

[44:42]them abandoned imam al-hussein and it drove some of them to join

[44:54]the ranks of umar bin saad on the sounds of karbala and

[45:00]take part in the killing of al-hussein if you are stingy with

[45:11]allah azzawajal regarding wealth definitely you will be stingy with allah azzawajal

[45:17]regarding your soul and regarding your blood stinginess on all levels in

[45:30]islam is hated have so many narrations that speak about the bahil

[45:35]he who is stingy he who is stingy on himself and i'm

[45:40]astonished sometimes i have brothers sisters coming to me speaking to me

[45:48]about the head of the family the father for example that he

[45:52]won't spend on his children you don't spend on your children who

[46:01]do you spend on not too long ago a sister was complaining

[46:10]that the husband does not give them enough money for the famine

[46:16]four or five children said how much does he give you sister

[46:23]a week this to me a week about a hundred dollars it's

[46:29]a 100 australian to spend and feed the mouths of yourself your

[46:37]husband and five children you guys live here in sydney you know

[46:41]how expensive this place a hundred dollars won't even buy you two

[46:47]packets of cigarettes if you smoke and he refuses to give any

[46:53]more said what if he doesn't have money since he doesn't have

[47:00]money this guy's got masha'allah in his accounts and he'll save with

[47:07]his mother and with his father with his but he won't spend

[47:10]on his family and islam comes and encourages generosity and encourages you

[47:21]to give not only so that we do not have this immense

[47:30]attachment to the physical and material world and not only so that

[47:36]we may help our fellow man but like we said also to

[47:42]keep society afloat to keep generating an economy islam wants wealth to

[47:49]continue to flow you know this is something very interesting not many

[47:53]people know sadaqah is mustahab correct to give charity is mustahab and

[48:00]we find it is so mustahab in so many instances our imams

[48:02]tell us to give salah you want to cure the sick give

[48:07]sadaqa you have a particular prayer that you want answered give sadaqah

[48:12]you want to go for zyara give sadaqah you want wealth give

[48:15]sadaqa true but you know what our narrations tell us is better

[48:19]than sadaqa look at this look at the wisdom in our religion

[48:25]look at the wisdom in our economic philosophy what is more muslim

[48:30]loan to loan your brother money to loan a believer money give

[48:39]him akarid kardal hassan is more beloved in the eyes of allah

[48:44]azzawajal than sadaqa and sadaqah is very beloved why they say the

[48:50]philosophy of this is many first of all when i give a

[48:54]believer alone i have protected his dignity i haven't made him feel

[49:02]like a beggar i have said to him i acknowledge that you

[49:05]are a provider and you are capable as a man or a

[49:09]woman of providing and generating an income you're going through a tough

[49:13]time i'm going to loan you this money and return it to

[49:20]me when allah azzawajal opens it up for you this is first

[49:26]thing second of all it encourages this person that you have given

[49:32]this sadaka to it encourages him to get up on his feet

[49:39]and generate an income which generates an economy it encourages him to

[49:46]get up on work and to work harder to pay you back

[49:51]therefore keeping society afloat so in the wisdom of allah azzawajal alone

[50:00]a non-interest loan of course because we know interest is haram in

[50:07]islam ar-riba is one of the greatest sins allah azzawajal describes those

[50:15]who make a living arab are of interests describes them as those

[50:23]who are being beaten by the devils and it is only through

[50:32]the systems of injustice that these interest banking systems have been established

[50:37]brothers and sisters one of the main reasons that the enemies of

[50:43]islam are enemies of islam is because islam puts in place protocols

[50:47]and laws and morals that will absolutely eradicate their economies we'll end

[50:54]with this but let's just take a look at their economies and

[50:56]what islam presents their economies are built on what oil which they

[51:10]have pillaged from us and islam comes and says to you know

[51:17]you're going to stand up and you're going to resist and you're

[51:22]going to take hold of your resources which allah azzawajal has blessed

[51:25]you with this doesn't sit well with them so they have declared

[51:29]war on islam an interest-based banking system which makes the rich richer

[51:37]and the poor poorer and more miserable because they're stuck in an

[51:44]endless cycle of debt most of us until the end of our

[51:50]lives and this interest is on local scales and global scales and

[51:54]it's how their economies remain afloat islam comes and eradicates this interest-based

[52:00]banking system this doesn't sit well with them so they have declared

[52:03]war against us forgive me for this but the sex industry pornography

[52:16]and everything associated with pornography and immoral acts keeps their economies afloat

[52:25]and islam comes and eradicates this so they have declared war on

[52:34]us drugs and alcohol drugs and alcohol are big money makers for

[52:40]these economies islam comes and eradicates this so they have declared war

[52:49]on us gambling gambling on a monstrous level the establishment of entire

[52:59]cities dedicated to gambling the establishment of high-rise buildings dedicated to gambling

[53:08]and they have been so innovative to the extent they said don't

[53:12]come to us anymore we'll send the gambling to you sit at

[53:21]your home in your bed anytime anywhere and gamble away it's ridiculous

[53:27]you can gamble on anything anything i remember i used to work

[53:35]in the railways you could gamble on whether a train will be

[53:38]late or on time legit an application opening up thousands of people

[53:45]thousands of dollars now with covert people gambling on what the numbers

[53:53]are going to be tomorrow making money off this losing money off

[53:55]this islam comes ends gambling fights gambling this doesn't sit well with

[54:04]them they have declared war on us monopolies hoarding off wealth this

[54:09]is how they maintain their power over nations and over people islam

[54:14]comes and puts an end to this why would they love us

[54:20]we stand against everything that is holding up their economies the economy

[54:28]of imam al-mahdi alaihis-salam is the best thing to happen to the

[54:32]people of the earth and the worst thing to happen to the

[54:38]economies of tyranny and if we do not get ourselves used to

[54:46]the economy of islam in our day-to-day lives if we do not

[54:52]get ourselves used to giving sadaqa giving loans to one another if

[54:57]we do not get ourselves used to not hoarding not being stingy

[55:05]being generous keeping wealth afloat amongst us then we along with the

[55:12]tyrants will find it economically disadvantage being in the government of imam

[55:21]and muhammad will start to wish that the advent of the imam

[55:24]will be delayed so that my pocket may be protected with ayad

[55:29]we ask allah azzawajal to make us amongst those who love the

[55:33]advent of the imam alayhis more than their own pockets and their

[55:36]wealth and that he does not make us amongst the stingy and

[55:41]that we are amongst those who not only spend in their wealth

[55:44]spend in their souls and everything dear for them for the sake

[55:48]of allah azzawajal and for the sake of the government of imam
