[9:55]me join you all uh at this relatively new community center uh

[9:59]here at Mecca it's a pleasure to be here uh though uh

[10:06]I I definitely believe this Center is so necessary and mallah is

[10:10]continuing to to grow uh people may C feel like it's so

[10:15]far away when it's really not it's just down the road but

[10:18]mashallah our community uh continues to grow and Thrive and I think

[10:22]having a center like this um that is closer to home for

[10:26]all of our families that are living in this area is so

[10:28]essential so and masallah it's been a few how many years has

[10:32]it been since Mecca has been established two less than three years

[10:36]mallah and already mallah a a new property coming about and the

[10:42]growth continues and continues so I start off by uh thanking you

[10:46]all uh everyone here for allowing me to join you all and

[10:49]contribute to these programs that I believe will continue to bring life

[10:57]to our presence here as a community right this memory of the

[11:04]holy prophet this is what brings us life the sixth holy IM

[11:09]it's narrated that he said may Allah have mercy on those who

[11:16]bring life to our cause that's what he says after he commands

[11:23]his followers bring life to our cause may Allah have mercy on

[11:27]those who bring life to our cause and that's what everyone here

[11:32]is doing it's not just on a speaker a scholar a presenter

[11:35]to come and deliver it's on the attendees those who are listening

[11:39]it is all of us together that make this growth of our

[11:46]community actually take place so as important as it is for a

[11:49]Podium to be here and a stage to be here and a

[11:53]member to be here and for people to speak and and recite

[11:56]for um it's so so important important the positions that you are

[12:03]all in the eagerness this wanting to seek wanting to learn wanting

[12:07]to educate oneself wanting to grow wanting to develop that is so

[12:12]important and necessary and I'm going to use this as a platform

[12:17]for the or starting point for the topic of tonight in in

[12:20]honor of our holy prophet Muhammad s Al Al who we just

[12:25]a few days ago were commemorating uh his his death and now

[12:29]going into the days in a couple weeks where we're going to

[12:33]be celebrating his birth this time we see this as a time

[12:36]for us to renew our relationship with the holy prophet as followers

[12:41]of sh Muslims there's a great deal of emphasis on and rightfully

[12:48]so we need to have an emphasis on B and the reason

[12:53]why we do is because the prophet emphasize anytime we see why

[12:57]are we emphasizing IM Ali IM Hassan IM Hussein lady zah all

[13:01]of the IMs why is this great emphasis on them theologically philosophically

[13:06]why it's because it was the emphasis of the Prophet what we

[13:11]need to make sure that we do though is this relationship that

[13:13]we have in our Creed our our theology it's something that we

[13:18]remind ourselves the relationship with starts first and formost with the father

[13:25]of ah bit the king of ah bit the master of a

[13:29]being the holy prophet himself is a pointer it's the household the

[13:36]family but of whom Muhammad when we say Al Muhammad the family

[13:43]of Muhammad you don't have the AL you don't have without Muhammad

[13:49]so tonight from this point I want to talk about yes the

[13:55]law of Education some of the maxims some of the principles that

[13:58]we have when we're looking at what does it mean to be

[14:00]someone who is educated seeking an education seeking knowledge practically what does

[14:06]that look like in your life right but I also want to

[14:10]delve a little bit deeper into our relationship as followers of as

[14:15]proud Shia Muslims we have this honor and pride of being followers

[14:20]those who are admirers and Loyalists to IM aliam but what did

[14:29]IM aliam emphasized with he emphasized his servitude to and if for

[14:37]a person who's going to be a follower of a person who's

[14:41]going to be an admirer and a loyalist of there needs to

[14:45]be this emphasis on whom it's beautiful that when you see all

[14:51]of the Praises of the commander of the faithful all of the

[14:57]Praises that he has in fact the prophet himself would Praise Him

[15:00]and when he was compared not the prophet Ali compared to the

[15:07]prophets before muham before him his virtues it said would be even

[15:15]greater than the prophets before Muhammad like Adam and n and ibraim

[15:23]and M and Isa and the people would ask Ali are you

[15:25]better than them he would explain the prophet would tell me my

[15:28]virtues are greater than Adam then no then ibraim then M and

[15:34]Isa and he would explain how each one of them from the

[15:37]first to the last before Muhammad and how Ali's virtues were even

[15:43]greater but when they asked him yah Ali how do you compare

[15:52]with Prophet Muhammad s alai listen closely to this how do you

[15:55]compare to Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaih IM would respond woe unto you

[16:10]for even asking that question I am merely a servant from the

[16:14]Servants of muhamad s alai so you and I as followers when

[16:20]people may ask or we ask ourselves what is this relationship we

[16:24]have with are we exaggerating when it comes to B no because

[16:28]when we were looking at we're looking back at the prophet what

[16:31]did the prophet tell us about and know that even if when

[16:36]we're looking and we're trying to see what is this great virtue

[16:39]that Ali has Ali himself would tell us there is no one

[16:48]like Muhammad so being a follower of you are pointed to what

[16:54]this is essential as the holy prophet when IMI saying I am

[17:00]I a servant from the Servants of Muhammad it shows you the

[17:08]great status of it shows you this great status of the Seal

[17:10]of prophets now what did he tell us we want to build

[17:16]a relationship with him we want to get closer to him what

[17:21]did he tell us about seeking an education seeking knowledge it's narrated

[17:25]that the prophet said seek knowledge from the Cradle to the Grave

[17:35]now this establish establishes for us lifelong learning any Educators in the

[17:42]room any Educators Educators Qui show of hands mashallah any students in

[17:47]the room any students excellent we're all students lifelong students right this

[17:54]idea of seeking an education it's not just a secondary education High

[18:00]School College University training for for us to get a career get

[18:06]a job be a professional etc etc even though those are all

[18:09]great things those are all great things for you to advance yourself

[18:14]in society is something that and even our Scholars of today our

[18:19]emphasize to the followers of listen if you're going to be working

[18:25]in a society be the best in that Society if you're GNA

[18:27]take on a profession be the best in that profession if you're

[18:32]going to be an engineer a doctor a nurse an artist whatever

[18:35]it may be be the best in your field that's actually the

[18:41]advice and the wisdom of our Scholars of today they emphasize this

[18:45]with us now we shouldn't sell ourselves short though in thinking that

[18:52]our education and our knowledge seeking stops at a degree no matter

[18:58]how many degrees that you have it doesn't stop at the degree

[19:02]it continues and it doesn't stop in the classroom or in the

[19:04]mosque or in the center it continues in every aspect of Our

[19:11]Lives this seeking from the Cradle to the Grave the prophet is

[19:14]telling us listen in every single situation in every moment of your

[19:24]life seek try to grow try to learn no matter how old

[19:27]we may become I realize when I got my first degree I

[19:34]couldn't wait until I could finish my second degree when I was

[19:36]in my education I was like man I just want to finish

[19:40]but after I finished I was like man there's so much more

[19:43]to learn there's so much more to educate myself in and I

[19:50]found myself wanting to learn wanting to read wanting to educate myself

[19:54]both in my profession and in my faith and when you go

[19:57]and you actually learn right how many of us and be honest

[20:03]you can be vulnerable a little bit right not too vulnerable just

[20:35]take a little bit try a little bit of a different perspective

[20:39]on your education yes even in the high school setting even in

[20:43]the college setting in the University setting I want you instead of

[21:40]wait until I'm done experience it learn from it delve yourself as

[21:46]much as possible alhamdulillah many of us are so blessed because our

[22:47]experiences I will tell you as diverse as that is Lebanon Iraq

[22:53]Iran uh Community India Pakistan right as diverse as that may be

[22:58]I will tell you there's so much in common there was leaving

[23:01]a situation leaving a place where perhaps it was not as comfortable

[23:06]whether it was because of war was it because of the economy

[23:11]because of a political situation and economic situation that you as an

[23:16]individual you as a family your parents your grandparents came to this

[23:21]country to a better situation I'll give you a little bit of

[23:25]my history my grandparents came to the United States of America specifically

[23:30]Dearborn Michigan in the late 70s leaving Lebanon Beirut during the Civil

[23:36]War anybody can relate to that experience family mallah okay whether it's

[23:42]your parents your grandparents maybe even your great- grandp whoever it may

[23:45]be right there are some communities that even came much earlier depending

[23:48]on what was going on at that time and what's the context

[23:52]when my grandparents came and I'll specifically talk about my maternal grandfather

[23:57]Haj Hass Assad baz when he decided to come I asked my

[24:05]grandmother why did my grandfather judu why did he come to Dearborn

[24:08]why did he choose Michigan specifically was there anywhere else that he

[24:12]was considering and I've shared the story before on the podium and

[24:17]my grandmother may Allah prolong her life and may Allah bless the

[24:20]soul of my grandfather who passed away about 20 years ago now

[24:27]she told me she said yes your grandfather came to Dearborn choosing

[24:35]between that and New York I was like oh New York we

[24:39]could have been in New York New York's not that great anybody

[24:43]listening from New York I still love you but I mean yay

[24:48]Michigan she she told me he chose Michigan over New York I

[24:55]asked her why was it because of Ford mortar company was it

[24:58]because of was it because of the big three what was it

[25:03]was it Automotive she said definitely there were some opportunities but there

[25:08]were also opportunities in New York and a lot of by the

[25:11]way there's a a very large community in New York mashallah in

[25:16]the New York New Jersey area I was actually just visiting last

[25:20]month mashallah beautiful Community thriving Community old Community or older community she

[25:25]said no it wasn't just that it wasn't the job opportunity unities

[25:30]we left your grandfather had a concern when we leave Lebanon will

[25:41]my children hold on to their faith now I'll tell you my

[25:46]grandfather was not a Sheikh was not the most religious man but

[25:51]he had a concern about religious identity and Faith he didn't want

[25:58]to move across the Atlantic ocean and for his kids to lose

[26:02]their faith so he asked about what exists in Michigan and they

[26:05]heard about a community that was growing in the Detroit area the

[26:11]Islamic Center of America with and he made a decision not having

[26:16]met the man not having seen the man not having seen the

[26:22]the idea of holding on to one's identity and going and moving

[26:32]there I tell you today like many of you I benefit tremendously

[26:35]and I'm eternally in debt to my grandfather for the decision that

[26:40]he made in coming to this community because my faith as his

[26:47]grandson who was yet to come into existence was affected by that

[26:55]decision he was looking at his kids it impacted his grandkids and

[27:00]and his great-grandkids my children go to school where the Maya School

[27:04]the Islamic Center of America now we have many Islamic schools we

[27:09]have many centers across our community mashallah this is a growing and

[27:12]thriving one it's not about any one's center it's not about anyone's

[27:15]school it's about this commitment to what to one's Faith commitment to

[27:23]one's what identity commitment to one's what lifelong learning and education because

[27:27]if you're not committed to your faith your identity and your education

[27:31]you may just be like I'll go wherever I can get a

[27:33]buck right wherever I can make money but holding on to that

[27:40]your decision now can have a tremendous impact you may not be

[27:43]thinking about you're like I'm in high school I'm in college I'm

[27:45]a university I'm working my job I'm just I'm just trying to

[27:51]get by right but your decisions now have a huge impact on

[27:53]your children on your grandchildren and even your great-grandchildren all right so

[28:00]know that yes sitting here today being here today man you're doing

[28:03]some good work so God bless you for that when I'm looking

[28:08]at this I'm seeing my relationship to within this context you see

[28:15]it your relationship to is within the context of your experience you

[28:20]can delve deeper into it or you can move away from it

[28:24]the prophet is going to stay he's always going to be there

[28:26]right ultimately Allah waala is going to be there for you what

[28:32]does Allah tells tell us in the Holy Quran call on me

[28:40]I will answer you if you thank me I will give you

[28:43]more what is this what is this relationship that we're talking about

[28:46]what is it's coming down to how are you moving interacting engaging

[28:53]with the constant Allah T is constant the immaculate ones that he's

[28:59]tasked with the message and protecting the message his his the prophet

[29:05]the IM they're constant but you and I what are we doing

[29:08]to engage with it so when the prophet is telling me engage

[29:14]in lifelong learning me from the Cradle to the Grave it's a

[29:20]mindset you know what the prophet said I mentioned how our grandparents

[29:26]and our parents maybe our families have gone from Lebanon Iraq India

[29:32]Pakistan East Africa all these different places in the world Iran all

[29:36]these different places in the world to come thousands of miles away

[29:39]to get a better life even at the time of the prophet

[29:46]he emphasized to his followers seek knowledge even if you have to

[29:56]go all the way to China now China as far in general

[30:01]now imagine back then no planes no fast Vehicles fastest thing was

[30:06]a horse an Arabian horse fastest thing anybody know how fast an

[30:11]Arabian horse goes H 45 miles per hour right we're we're driving

[30:18]down Cherry Hill 45 miles per hour and I'm like man can

[30:22]I add another 40 to it right too slow China the prophet

[30:27]is saying you you got to seek you got to go even

[30:32]if you have to all the way to China now someone may

[30:34]be saying okay are you telling me I need to get a

[30:37]p PhD are you telling me I need to go back to

[30:40]school are you telling me I need a new certificate are you

[30:45]telling me are you telling me no not necessarily I'm not telling

[30:47]you any of these things what I am telling you is any

[30:52]moment that you have an opportunity to learn which is every single

[30:56]moment take it let's say for a example right now how long

[31:02]have I been up here anyone keeping track of time I've been

[31:05]up here for 20 minutes okay thank you has watching it he's

[31:11]like got D let's go been up here for 20 minutes the

[31:18]prophet Sall it's narrated that he said an hour of reflection is

[31:24]worth 70 years of worship one hour of reflection 70 years of

[31:29]worship let's divide 70 into three if you've been reflecting for the

[31:35]past 20 minutes actively listening thinking about what I'm saying reflecting on

[31:40]it what's 70 divided by three 23.3 so if the past 20

[31:48]minutes according to what the prophet is saying one hour of reflection

[31:51]is worth 70 years of worship you've just gotten yourself a quarter

[31:56]Century worth of of worship listen with Allah subhana wa tal it's

[32:01]very easy it's very easy don't let anybody trick you into thinking

[32:10]that being a good Muslim being a practicing Muslim is actually hard

[32:15]it's not repenting to Allah subhana wa tala is not hard it's

[32:21]not why it's very simple Allah subhana wa ta'ala provides us opportunity

[32:27]after opportunity and gives us these huge measures telling you listen just

[32:35]for one hour I want you to just like like think well

[32:41]reflect well just just an hour and I'm G to give you

[32:45]a lifetime 70 years I'm going to give you a lifetime of

[32:51]worship who here was prayed right before the program started prayed Jam

[32:58]who here did this God bless you Canton all right that it's

[33:07]narrated from he said the one who takes on the glorification of

[33:11]our mother fa because is attributed to who it was a gift

[33:16]from to whom lady fa right this how many times 34 times

[33:25]alhamdulillah how many times 33 times Subhan Allah how many times 33

[33:30]good math all right educated all right you do that immediately after

[33:34]you finish your prayer IM it's narrated that he said before you

[33:41]turn left or right all of your sins are forgiven if you

[33:43]were doing this knowing the status of whom the individual that this

[33:49]was gifted in the name of Lady fa you mean to tell

[33:53]me if I just simply do this which takes not even like

[33:59]two minutes maybe even not even 90 seconds you're telling me if

[34:02]I do this all of my sins are going to be wiped

[34:06]yes how it's too easy with Allah it's too easy Allah subhana

[34:13]wa ta'ala through his Prophet Muhammad many of us don't realize we

[34:23]say it we say yes Muhammad the Mercy to Mankind Allah describes

[34:30]him when he's giving you a gift in the name of his

[34:33]daughter FAA he's giving her the gift and then extending it to

[34:37]all of the Muslims take this use this know the status of

[34:40]my daughter Fatima know that Allah subhana wa tala is happy when

[34:42]she's happy is angered by what angers her this connection to the

[34:48]connection to the connection to allaha we just came after two months

[34:53]morning IM Hussein all of these things connect giving us opportunity after

[34:59]opportunity after opportunity when the prophet would hold and say Hest you

[35:07]just reminded me of this tradition just by holding is that your

[35:12]son how old is heus was held by at a similar Age

[35:24]5 years old the prophet would hold him in his arms in

[35:27]Gatherings like this with his companions with his followers and describe to

[35:31]them not his mere love oh I'm a grandfather I love my

[35:36]grandchildren because the love of comes from the Divine it's the Divine

[35:42]love so when is expressing his love for Hussein and then telling

[35:50]you how do you connect with this Divine love another opportunity you

[36:02]want God to love you you want to feel the Divine love

[36:05]divine grace divine mercy and compassion I am the Mercy to Mankind

[36:14]I am man we are so honored our Prophet Muhammad s Al

[37:21]reflection and pause and the student asked me well how do Muslims

[38:42]it our religion was never meant to be complicated our faith was

[38:51]never meant to be something for people hard to understand to the

[38:57]contrary it was meant to be simplified so that any person can

[41:57]know I know that where I may need to consult an English

[42:02]translation to better understand the meaning of something right there's no shame

[42:16]look at the meanings reflect on the meanings it could be one

[42:23]line from Dua that changes the trajectory of your life it could
