[41:25]shabir kirmani muhammad of the reappearance of imam muhammad my respected scholars

[43:34]elders brothers and sisters in imam alaikum question what's the proof of

[43:43]the existence of god keep that question in the back of your

[43:46]mind inshaallah we'll return to it we have been discussing the future

[43:50]of our community and we said that in order for a community

[43:54]to thrive in order for a community to succeed we must have

[43:59]a plan in order for any endeavor in life to succeed one

[44:03]must have a plan whether that's a business an institution or even

[44:07]our life our academics our personal pursuits we must have a plan

[44:11]and if we want to succeed we must make sure that we

[44:14]refine that plan therefore we said that if we want to go

[44:18]down the path and look at where is our community going in

[44:21]twenty thirty forty fifty no one hundred years from now we must

[44:27]start to plan and strategize today and we got to the point

[44:32]where we discussed how valuable and how powerful is your belief system

[44:38]your iman what you believe can actually move mountains and we gave

[44:43]the daleel and the proof and the evidence of that last night

[44:47]tonight i want to take the discussion to the next level and

[44:50]i want to talk about when we plan for our future one

[44:55]discussion that comes part and parcel of that is the discussion concerning

[45:00]one's identity and when we come to the identity question what should

[45:06]you and i as followers of the ahlul living wherever we are

[45:11]what should we be known for what should we be known for

[45:16]some of us had the opportunity to visit some of the top

[45:19]scholars in the hausa almiyyah of najaf and ask them this question

[45:24]some of our top scholars what is it that we should be

[45:28]known for especially followers of the ahlul bayt in the west when

[45:32]we ask this question at some point in time different scholars had

[45:37]different answers but if there was one underlying theme if there was

[45:42]one thing that was common amongst the answers it was the concept

[45:47]of knowledge followers of the ahlul bayt in line of their imams

[45:54]in line of their representatives the aymmah the 14 ma'asumeen must be

[45:59]known for knowledge included in knowledge is as well manners ethics everything

[46:08]gets encapsulated within knowledge therefore you and i must strive to revive

[46:14]this because if you look at the history of islam we had

[46:17]a rich history but sometimes today we are in the wake you

[46:23]and i we together are responsible for reviving the rich history why

[46:30]did imam al hussain who we are here to commemorate his arba'in

[46:35]why did he give his life why did he sacrifice 18 of

[46:41]the moons of banu hashim on earth why did he sacrifice 72

[46:45]of his companions his relatives so that you and i can keep

[46:49]our identity strong part and parcel of that identity is knowledge therefore

[46:56]tonight i want to look at what is the role and responsibility

[47:00]of us as followers of ahlul bayt what is the primacy and

[47:04]importance of knowledge within our madhab why is knowledge important is it

[47:09]important and if so why is it important what are some verses

[47:13]and some traditions of the quran that tell us about knowledge what

[47:18]is the proof and the existence of allah because the time and

[47:24]time again we're reminding you and i of allah to try to

[47:30]make us aware and have some ma'rafah of allah they never wanted

[47:35]us to accept them just for their sake as an endpoint they

[47:39]wanted to take our hands hold our hands and take us to

[47:42]allah therefore when someone comes forward today and questions the existence of

[47:49]allah you and i and we must have strong answers to this

[47:53]therefore we'll look at this and what is it that the ahlul

[47:57]bayt told us about with respect to the proof and the evidence

[48:02]of allah as well as what should our relationship be with allah

[48:06]and how did imam al hussain in his message in his walk

[48:11]in his talk and in every aspect of his life remind us

[48:15]of allah and knowledge of allah this is our agenda for tonight

[48:28]knowledge there was a very famous journal in iraq it was a

[48:32]publication that would come forward and talk about knowledge on the cover

[48:38]of this journal was some calligraphy some artwork the editor of the

[48:43]journal had the cover of the magazine behind his desk in his

[48:47]office one day a german researcher comes to his office he visits

[48:53]him in iraq when he visits him he says what's this artwork

[48:57]behind your desk can you please explain what am i seeing it

[49:01]was in arabic he didn't know oh he said this is the

[49:05]cover of our magazine our publication he said what does it say

[49:11]he says in the middle is a verse of the quran al

[49:14]majid of furqan al hamid says very well so what else he

[49:17]said in the four corners in each of the four corners of

[49:22]the cover there is a tradition of the prophet he said can

[49:26]you please tell me what it says i don't know what it

[49:28]says can you please explain he says in the middle is a

[49:31]verse from the quran the first verse of revelation he says what

[49:34]does it say it says read i said interesting i didn't know

[49:40]that wow he says what else does it say the first verse

[49:44]of revelation is read he said yes i said wow very interesting

[49:48]he said what else does it say he said there's another tradition

[49:52]there's four traditions from the prophet after the quran after the word

[49:57]of god muslims take the traditions of the prophet as most sacred

[50:00]he said what does it say he says it says there's a

[50:09]discussion amongst the scholars about whether it says muslim or muslim or

[50:13]muslim the scholars have said it says if it says only muslim

[50:17]that is like saying mankind it includes both genders male and female

[50:22]and if it is saying muslim or muslim then it's clear it's

[50:24]it's very clear it is specifically delineating regardless it says that no

[50:30]matter the gender obtaining knowledge is an obligation amongst every muslim he

[50:36]said really i didn't know that's very interesting meaning male and female

[50:40]have to obtain knowledge in islam said wow interesting he said what

[50:43]else does it say he says obtain knowledge from the cradle to

[50:51]the grave he said really it says obtain knowledge from cradle to

[50:55]grave meaning every single moment in time i should be obtaining knowledge

[51:01]it's not only i go to high school i graduate i go

[51:04]to college for three four years and then khalas i'm done no

[51:08]a believer at every moment in life must be learning he said

[51:12]very interesting the german researchers i didn't know that's very fascinating he

[51:15]said what else does it say he says it says that obtain

[51:20]knowledge obtain knowledge even if you have to go to china really

[51:29]because you know there's two things time and space zama'an and makan

[51:34]if i want to have a majlis if you want to have

[51:36]a majlis at your home people will ask you two questions what

[51:40]is the zaman and what is the makan what is the time

[51:43]and what is the place that is how i will get to

[51:45]the right place at the right time otherwise i can't get there

[51:49]he says wow islam says doesn't matter the gender male or female

[51:53]must obtain knowledge doesn't matter the time cradle to grave it doesn't

[51:58]even matter the space where you are you must even go to

[52:01]china to obtain knowledge he says what's the fourth tradition he says

[52:04]the fourth tradition of the prophet is that knowledge is the lost

[52:10]property of a the lost property of a believer obtain it from

[52:15]wherever you can he says i'm shocked the german researcher says it

[52:21]says the first verse of revelation read in the name of your

[52:24]lord this is what it says then there's four traditions that says

[52:28]it is of obligation amongst male and female gender doesn't matter then

[52:31]the next one says from cradle to grave time doesn't matter then

[52:35]it says obtain knowledge even if you have to go to china

[52:38]the space doesn't matter go anywhere and third it doesn't even matter

[52:43]who the teacher is obtain knowledge from anyone because that's your lost

[52:47]property the german researcher looked at the editor after reading these he

[52:52]says i am shocked that the muslim community is not leading the

[52:57]world in sciences in mathematics and physics in the world how is

[53:01]this possible it wasn't always like this if you read the history

[53:07]of islamic civilizations it wasn't always like this if you look at

[53:13]the period from august to november three hundred years the center of

[53:21]all knowledge in the world was baghdad of all knowledge undisputed by

[53:29]all scientists there's no doubt about it mathematics physics chemistry you name

[53:35]the science it came from there of course in light of the

[53:39]tradition of our ahlul bayt and other people as well but what

[53:45]happened do you know the x you know when our youth go

[53:49]and study 2x equals four what does x equal two ahsentum where

[53:55]do we get this x from do we know do we know

[53:58]the heritage what happened the first book on algebra was a book

[54:04]called by muhammad al khawarizmi do you know when he wrote the

[54:13]book why x why x when he wrote the book he did

[54:17]not have equations in the book he had paragraphs that were in

[54:21]written form so he did not say two x equals four what

[54:25]did he say he says two times a thing what is arabic

[54:29]word for thing shay he says two times shay equals four that

[54:35]was what he said when the researchers and the writers of the

[54:39]greek language when they got this book which was an applied mathematics

[54:43]book it was an applied business mathematics book it was the first

[54:47]book on algebra that we had he said that they said that

[54:50]the greeks said we don't have in our alphabet in our language

[54:55]we don't have the word we don't have that word it's an

[54:57]arabic word so how do we translate this they said the closest

[55:02]thing that we have in our language to or thing is the

[55:06]greek letter chi you remember chi squared statistics you remember this in

[55:11]your math classes chi the greek letter chi they said shay becomes

[55:16]chi when the greeks had their books the latins came forward and

[55:21]they said we do not have kai in our language how do

[55:25]we translate they said the closest thing that we have to kai

[55:28]in our language is x therefore the heritage of that x that

[55:34]you and i solve for why not a why not b why

[55:36]not c it is from the work of muhammad al kawarizmi in

[55:39]kitab al jabbar wal muqabal by the way that is where the

[55:43]word algebra comes from al jabbar you can thank him when you

[55:49]do your math homework next time the idea is this is what

[55:52]happened furthermore what does the world run on today what is the

[55:58]most sought after company to work in in the world today you

[56:02]find people for example in the big four and the big companies

[56:05]in silicon valley you will find the likes of microsoft and you

[56:07]will find amazon and facebook and the likes the most sought after

[56:11]company to work for today is google google people go there for

[56:16]the salary and all those things but the free haircuts and the

[56:18]free food and all that what does google run on what made

[56:23]google google there is something that you will know in the background

[56:28]called an algorithm when you type into google it searches for you

[56:35]that is an algorithm a repeating process do you know where the

[56:39]term algorithm comes from it is literally a latinization of khawarizmi literally

[56:47]i can go on for an hour just talking about the scientific

[56:50]accomplishments of this age and this era however i want to make

[56:55]a point here and the reality is if we as muslims say

[57:00]we used to be great we were great from august to november

[57:05]we were great we were the best we are looking in the

[57:08]rearview mirror and what can you not do when you are looking

[57:13]in the rearview mirror when you are looking in the rearview mirror

[57:17]you cannot look forward you are looking back we must look forward

[57:24]you and i and we our generation and the next generation we

[57:28]should be the ones reviving this tradition in light of for example

[57:32]the letter of sayyid ali al sistani to a group of youth

[57:35]who asked him sayyid can you please give us some advice and

[57:39]he gave beautiful advice i recommend we all read his letter to

[57:43]a group of college students who asked for some advice in that

[57:47]letter one of the points that he says is to try to

[57:50]obtain knowledge and try to specialize in a subject if you can

[57:55]in medicine in law in economics in journalism you pick the field

[57:58]try to specialize then he says a beautiful point he says why

[58:03]is it that we benefit from the works of others why is

[58:07]it that we benefit from the researchers of others the textbooks of

[58:12]others the journals of others but why do we not contribute meaning

[58:17]why is our name not on the front of the text book

[58:21]alhamdulillah some people are doing their work may allah reward them remember

[58:26]knowledge divided do not say this is islamic this is un islamic

[58:30]divide knowledge in one of two ways knowledge is either qurbatani or

[58:35]not knowledge either takes you closer to allah or not that same

[58:40]biology class where i'm studying the cell that same organic chemistry class

[58:44]where i'm studying about the bonds that are created in chemistry that

[58:48]same physics class that same mathematics class if i understand that this

[58:53]is created from allah that takes me closer to allah and if

[58:59]i don't that can take me further the same class we must

[59:03]be mindful of this tradition francis bacon the founder of the scientific

[59:09]method you know the scientific method which is considered in the last

[59:13]five hundred fifty years it is considered one of the greatest accomplishments

[59:17]of the human mind that and calculus for example francis bacon the

[59:23]founder of the scientific method he says a little bit of knowledge

[59:27]inclines a man to atheism depth of knowledge leads a man to

[59:32]god you and i must strive to get a depth level of

[59:37]understanding and depth of knowledge therefore if we as followers of the

[59:43]ahlul bayt our current generations our next generations and the ones after

[59:47]that they begin to doubt the existence of allah where will we

[59:52]be these concepts of usuluddin these concepts are concepts that each one

[60:02]of us on we must have our own we must have our

[60:07]own evidence i can do i can follow or whatever i want

[60:13]in the issues of and salaam all these things amr bil ma'ruf

[60:19]nain al munqar in these things i can follow marja but in

[60:22]the issue of usul when it is respect to my creed what

[60:26]i believe i must have my own evidence i tell you with

[60:30]my hand on my heart some of the biggest atheists in the

[60:34]world today whose names i don't wish to take from here their

[60:37]students their biggest students come from a shia family not only shia

[60:43]family they come from sadat families from the ahlul bayt i can

[60:47]tell you which imam also how did we get to this point

[60:52]that followers of the ahlul bayt who trace their lineage to the

[60:56]ahlul are now saying we don't believe in the existence of god

[61:02]i'm giving you the proof and evidence and the response today stephen

[61:06]hawking in his book the very famous physicist in his book a

[61:10]brief history of time he says the concept of the big bang

[61:14]when our universe began when our universe started roughly fourteen billion years

[61:20]ago he says he crunched all the numbers he shows the numbers

[61:26]he says i can tell you what the example of how this

[61:28]universe emerged but you won't understand the numbers let me give you

[61:32]an example by the way a side note we have been sold

[61:36]a pill we have been told a false truth that most scientists

[61:42]don't believe in god it's not true if you read the history

[61:46]copernicus and the likes and you go to isaac newton you go

[61:50]to for example albert einstein all of these people believed in god

[61:55]in fact you know the big bang theory you and i may

[61:58]ask does islam accept big bang whatnot do you know who the

[62:01]founder of the big bang theory was his name was lamaatra the

[62:08]founder of the big bang theory was a belgian researcher his name

[62:13]was lamaatra he was a physicist but do you know what else

[62:17]he was he was a priest you can see his pictures wearing

[62:23]the religious guard he said the big bang theory for me is

[62:27]very easy it is very clear god had created the big bang

[62:31]it's no doubt in my mind this capsule that we have been

[62:34]sold that islam is in contradiction or religion is a contradiction but

[62:38]remember science evolves therefore stephen hawking in his book a brief history

[62:43]of time he argues that our world that we exist in fourteen

[62:47]billion years ago with the big bang came into existence he says

[62:50]what happened before is for the philosophers to debate but he said

[62:53]i will give you an example the example of how this world

[62:57]came into existence professor stephen hawking who passed away a few years

[63:00]ago says it is as if i put a bunch of monkeys

[63:04]you know monkeys i put a bunch of monkeys in a room

[63:06]and in that same room i put a typewriter you know what

[63:11]a typewriter is if you don't remember typewriter keyboard some may not

[63:16]even remember that he says typewriter put it in the room put

[63:19]the monkeys in the room and after some time those same monkeys

[63:25]they begin to tap on the typewriter and they create not words

[63:31]not sentences not paragraphs but those same monkeys stephen hawking says they

[63:37]create the poetry the sonnets of shakespeare the greatest poet in the

[63:43]history of the english language his sonnets they create one of them

[63:47]that's the example there was a professor another physicist by the name

[63:51]of professor schroeder professor schroeder read the analogy that stephen hawkings gave

[63:57]in his book and he said really mister stephen hawkings are you

[64:01]saying that the analogy of this world coming into existence it is

[64:05]like in this world putting a group of monkeys into a room

[64:09]and them typing at a typewriter he said very interesting he said

[64:13]i want to share something with you researchers at the british council

[64:17]of arts have already done this study he writes in response to

[64:21]hawkings he says they put a group of monkeys into a room

[64:26]for one month and they put a typewriter into the room he

[64:31]said do you know what the results were he said they put

[64:34]the researchers put a group of monkeys into a room and they

[64:37]put a typewriter in the room when they put the typewriter in

[64:40]the room they observed the monkeys for days do you know what

[64:44]happened for the first two days the monkeys did not even go

[64:49]near the typewriter after a few days a week you know what

[64:55]happened they began to use not my words the words of the

[64:58]researchers they began to use the typewriter like a toilet monkeys he

[65:04]said after some time they began to poke at the buttons of

[65:07]the typewriter he said do you know what happened they began to

[65:11]tap and tap and tap away what's the shortest word in the

[65:15]english language a i a and i but what do you need

[65:21]for it to be a word in order for it to be

[65:25]a word you need a space before it and a space after

[65:28]it otherwise it's not a word they said after one month those

[65:34]same monkeys they produced 50 pages of content when they produced 50

[65:40]pages of content they said how many words are there in this

[65:45]language when they looked at the numbers and they went through the

[65:49]50 page they went through page after page and when they looked

[66:07]through the content they went through 50 pages they said after all

[66:11]of the typing that the monkeys had done on the keyboard they

[66:15]found that they did not produce a single word in the english

[66:19]language zero nothing then professor schroeder crunches the numbers by the way

[66:25]a side note in mathematics and statistics i don't want to make

[66:28]this too complex i'll simplify there's a concept called statistical zero this

[66:32]is a number that is so small it is as if it

[66:35]is zero this number is one over 10 to the 50 or

[66:39]in simple terms zero point zero followed by 50 zeros just keep

[66:45]this in the back of your mind professor schroeder said let me

[66:49]take one of the sonnets of shakespeare he says shall i compare

[66:53]thee to a summer he says i took that one when i

[66:56]crunched the numbers he said how many letters are in the english

[66:59]language he said there are 26 letters in the english language how

[67:03]many words are in the poem how shall i compare thee to

[67:06]a summer he said there are 488 words i am giving the

[67:11]answer for our youth and our next generation he said 26 raised

[67:15]to the four hundred and eighty eighth power he converted this number

[67:19]to base 10 he said when he converted this number to base

[67:22]10 he said it became 10 raised to the six hundred and

[67:26]ninetieth power he put one over 10 raised to the six hundred

[67:30]and ninetieth power he said this number is zero point zero followed

[67:35]by 690 zeros he said this number is so small that no

[67:42]scientist worth their weight would ever bet their career on this do

[67:48]you know how small this number is we cannot fathom these are

[67:51]exponents by the way for those who know and in exponents it's

[67:55]not that this is thirteen fourteen times smaller than statistical zero 10

[68:00]to the negative 50 this is 690 minus 50 it's 640 times

[68:08]smaller than statistical zero it is such a small probability he says

[68:13]schroeder says to stephen hawkings do you really believe that this universe

[68:17]was so accidental he said no scientist will accept this i want

[68:23]you to remember this name never forget it antony flew a n

[68:27]t o n y f l e w the biggest atheist of

[68:33]the last one hundred years he just died a few years ago

[68:36]he was the reason that so many people said we don't believe

[68:40]in god they became atheists because of anthony flu a few years

[68:46]before mr anthony flu doctor anthony flu died he said i change

[68:51]my mind i believe in god they said anthony flew we became

[68:57]atheists because you were the biggest atheists your deliyahs your proof your

[69:02]evidence told us that there is no god now before you're dying

[69:06]you are changing your mind how what he said two things do

[69:10]not allow me to remain an atheist he said what are they

[69:14]he says number one was the response by doctor schroeder to stephen

[69:18]hawkings the one i just show shared with you the monkeys in

[69:21]the keyboard he said that proved to me that this world cannot

[69:24]be an accident he says what is the second thing and the

[69:28]more important thing he says the second thing and the more important

[69:31]thing that proved to me the existence of god were three letters

[69:36]he says three letters what he said deoxyribonucleic acid dna he said

[69:45]what about dna dna did not allow you to remain an atheist

[69:48]what about it he says do you know how much information do

[69:54]you know how much data is encoded encapsulated in the human dna

[70:00]you know that dna that gives you your skin color your hair

[70:03]color your behavioral attributes that makes you you that data is encoded

[70:07]do you know how much information i won't bother you i won't

[70:10]trouble you with the data i won't trouble you with the numbers

[70:13]just know this that there is not that much data with data

[70:16]science and all of the emerging technology that's coming in our world

[70:20]there is not that much data in the entire world today we

[70:24]will not hit that number until 2025 that's how much data is

[70:27]in each individual's dna he said that data that is in human

[70:32]dna it is encoded it is programmed you know the adenine guanine

[70:37]cytosine you know this that data is encoded in the human dna

[70:41]he says whenever you see something that is programmed know there's a

[70:47]programmer he says that programmer is god that means that the dalil

[70:53]and the proof and the evidence is there therefore anthony flew wrote

[70:56]a book before he died he wrote there is no god the

[71:00]title of the book there is no god then he crossed out

[71:03]no and he said there is a god when you reflect 700

[71:08]verses plus over 700 verses of the quran say reflect contemplate on

[71:17]this universe this is the proof for others amir al mumineen was

[71:23]asked what's the proof of the existence of god he says when

[71:26]man walks in the desert and he walks by the sand and

[71:29]when animals walk by in the sand they leave their footprints in

[71:33]the sand and they give evidence that there were people here there

[71:37]were animals here does this world not give you evidence that there

[71:40]was a creator here at the same point in time amir al

[71:44]mumineen has asked about this he says if a man who does

[71:48]not believe comes to him he says ali if you die and

[71:52]there is no qayama there is no hereafter there is nothing afterwards

[71:56]what will you do he says that if i die and there

[72:01]is nothing afterwards i will be content with my life because i

[72:05]was honest i was fair i did not cheat anyone and then

[72:08]he looked at him if you die tomorrow and there is hisab

[72:12]there is kitab there is ma'ad there is a hereafter what will

[72:15]you do he had no answer abu shakir asks our sixth imam

[72:21]he says i am not convinced on god there was a young

[72:26]child who was walking by the sixth imam he had an egg

[72:29]in his hand and when he was walking by the imam requested

[72:33]the child to give him this egg he took the egg he

[72:36]raised it he said abu shakir look at this imagine i tell

[72:40]you there is a fortress and in this fortress there is a

[72:45]thin film covering the fortress and inside the fortress there is molten

[72:50]liquid hot liquid silver there is molten liquid silver and he said

[72:56]what if i tell you inside the liquid silver is liquid gold

[73:01]and the liquid gold does not mix with the liquid silver and

[73:04]the liquid silver does not mix with the liquid gold and no

[73:08]one has gone out inside of it and no one has come

[73:11]out of it and after some time abu shakir there will emerge

[73:15]from this a creation and a creature there was no one to

[73:18]come and design its nose its beak its feathers its cartilage every

[73:23]aspect of its body there was no one to design it abu

[73:28]shakir said today i understood they asked the eighth imam they said

[73:35]why did allah subhanahu wa ta'ala create so many creations so many

[73:39]creatures so many things you know our world some people are saying

[73:57]burning not too long ago every day we are finding new species

[74:01]we don't know the fish that exist we don't know the birds

[74:03]that exist we don't know anything that exists he asked him he

[74:07]said why did allah create so many birds why did allah create

[74:11]so many creations so many animals he said it's because so on

[74:15]on the day of judgment no one can come to allah and

[74:20]say i thought of something oh allah that you did not think
