00:00:00
[Music]
00:00:08
thean
00:00:10
and
00:00:11
[Music]
00:00:18
um online
00:00:28
university uh
00:00:51
um so the theme is about the Islam and
00:00:55
modernism and we still find some
00:00:58
difficult on because the terminology
00:01:01
comes from the west and how should we go
00:01:04
through in in some lecturing says that
00:01:09
now it should be the postmodern
00:01:11
postmodernism and some says that we are
00:01:14
still not finished with
00:01:15
modernism and it's it's kind of a
00:01:18
discourses that confuses for for most of
00:01:20
the Muslim and one of the terms in the
00:01:23
societ modernism is the openness and
00:01:26
inclus
00:01:28
inclusivism and that this two term
00:01:31
is um made for most of the Muslim that
00:01:36
they cannot open with some other
00:01:38
community who has uh difficulties with
00:01:42
their with their gender identity
00:01:44
something like that so how should we
00:01:47
face with that kind of uh obstacles for
00:01:50
forward in the future in the comings
00:01:52
because it seems like this two terms
00:01:56
openness and inclus is is challenging
00:01:59
for is Islam for itself to see how it
00:02:02
goes so I think the time is for you we
00:02:05
have an hour and a half until
00:02:08
11:15 or
00:02:10
1130 before we conduct Zur so the time
00:02:15
is yours and we have some question and
00:02:17
answering open session from the
00:02:19
participants from this
00:02:23
Jama no I think they can understand
00:02:25
they're quite
00:02:27
passive I'll give some a short
00:02:31
introduction
00:02:36
[Music]
00:02:49
[Music]
00:02:56
um
00:02:58
Inus in
00:03:36
I think that's all from our side so time
00:03:38
for
00:03:43
[Music]
00:03:53
you alhamd
00:04:11
all praise is due to Allah and may
00:04:14
Allah's peace and blessings be on his
00:04:16
last prophet Muhammad sallallah alaihi
00:04:19
wasallam and on all those who follow the
00:04:22
path of righteousness until the last
00:04:28
day the the title Islam and
00:04:35
modernism has
00:04:39
confused many
00:04:41
who try to deal with
00:04:45
it
00:04:47
as Islam and
00:04:50
modernism
00:04:53
where
00:04:56
Islam this statement Islam and modernism
00:05:00
implies that
00:05:01
Islam is not
00:05:05
modern once we accept that as a
00:05:09
foundation we have already
00:05:14
lost but we all
00:05:17
know as is said amongst
00:05:21
ourselves that
00:05:23
Islam is
00:05:26
relevant
00:05:28
good and better
00:05:30
for all
00:05:32
times it is not
00:05:34
limited to the time of prophet Muhammad
00:05:38
sallallahu alaihi
00:05:40
wasallam so now that time has
00:05:43
passed and we're in another
00:05:47
era
00:05:49
where what prophet Muhammad sallallahu
00:05:52
alaihi wasallam
00:05:55
brought which was the Quran and the
00:05:58
Sunnah
00:06:00
the understanding of the
00:06:03
Quran that
00:06:06
somehow it is not able
00:06:11
to meet the
00:06:14
challenges of the times to
00:06:18
come our
00:06:20
times and
00:06:22
Beyond and those before
00:06:26
us where muhammadia
00:06:30
was
00:06:32
instituted to try
00:06:36
to meet the challenges brought by
00:06:42
colonialism in the past
00:06:46
Islam
00:06:48
was
00:06:50
the teacher of the
00:06:53
world whether in
00:06:56
Spain C Cordova Spain
00:07:00
or
00:07:02
Damascus Etc the various centers of
00:07:05
Islamic
00:07:07
learning
00:07:08
we had
00:07:11
gathered the knowledge that human beings
00:07:16
[Music]
00:07:18
had received from Allah subh
00:07:23
tala
00:07:25
indirectly or
00:07:27
directly we had gather gathered that
00:07:31
knowledge and presented it in the
00:07:36
Islamic package
00:07:57
[Music]
00:08:09
um
00:08:13
[Music]
00:08:41
um
00:09:03
[Music]
00:09:15
colonialism
00:09:20
India uh Islam
00:09:34
[Music]
00:09:56
Damascus so Islam
00:10:01
having spread
00:10:04
from
00:10:06
Medina and Saudi Arabia to the rest of
00:10:09
the
00:10:11
world Gathering knowledge on the way
00:10:15
from the
00:10:16
various
00:10:20
civilizations countries
00:10:23
regions that Islam came in contact with
00:10:28
and absorbed
00:10:32
absorbed it didn't
00:10:34
colonize it
00:10:39
absorbed a different approach from
00:10:45
colonization
00:10:46
and it ruled India for a thousand
00:10:51
years and ruled Spain for 700
00:10:57
years and
00:11:00
became the center of learning for the
00:11:05
world all the
00:11:07
great scientists early scientists from
00:11:11
the west Western Civilization as we know
00:11:14
it they all went to Spain or Damascus
00:11:18
and studied on Muslim
00:11:20
Scholars they didn't invent and bring
00:11:23
new ideas they came and
00:11:27
learned and we had no problem with
00:11:31
it there was no challenge or
00:11:35
struggle Islam offered a
00:11:39
solution and
00:11:41
where it was dominant it
00:11:44
ruled where it wasn't
00:11:47
dominant it coin coexisted with the
00:11:52
existing regions and Empires Etc
00:12:01
so there was no
00:12:03
issue of Islam and
00:12:10
modernism it was just
00:12:14
Islam
00:12:16
Islam
00:12:18
moving
00:12:20
expanding continually over the rest of
00:12:23
the
00:12:24
world without
00:12:27
violently colonizing ing
00:12:30
subjugating
00:12:32
enslaving populations that they came to
00:12:36
instead they were
00:12:38
absorbed those who ruled the areas that
00:12:42
Muslims
00:12:44
dominated were from the local
00:12:47
people with a mixture of some of the
00:12:54
original Muslims of Arab origin Etc who
00:12:59
brought the message to
00:13:01
them but those who continued the process
00:13:06
of educating Etc were from the local
00:13:11
populations that's how it was it was
00:13:15
natural there wasn't a
00:13:20
conflict it is only in our
00:13:24
time after the
00:13:27
decline of the Islamic
00:13:32
empire the Empire of
00:13:36
faith
00:13:39
that there is a
00:13:41
challenge raised
00:13:44
by what came to be known as Western
00:13:52
Civilization which expanded
00:13:56
itself through
00:14:00
dominance by
00:14:02
enslavement and
00:14:04
subjugation of the populations that they
00:14:07
came in contact with
00:14:11
exploiting till today we are still
00:14:15
suffering the after effects of that
00:14:22
era
00:14:24
and they presented
00:14:27
themselves as mod
00:14:32
and all other civilizations were
00:14:36
backward and in particular is
00:14:40
Islam because of the fact that Islam was
00:14:44
the
00:14:46
only
00:14:48
civilization that they couldn't dominate
00:14:54
completely so Islam represented
00:15:00
the
00:15:04
enemy and they presented themselves as
00:15:10
modern
00:15:12
inclusive beneficial to human
00:15:15
civilization and those who were not a
00:15:19
part of their vision and
00:15:24
Mission were considered to be backwards
00:15:31
weak
00:15:33
incapable needing to be
00:15:37
modernized so that they could keep in
00:15:41
step with the new
00:15:44
civilization of the West
00:16:25
uh
00:16:26
Islam India SL

[Music]
00:18:42
in

uh
00:19:09
[Music]
00:19:31
so
00:19:32
following the
00:19:36
period of Western
00:19:39
[Music]
00:19:41
domination a new set of
00:19:45
rules were
00:19:47
developed to govern this new
00:19:55
civilization though the roots of the
00:19:57
civilization
00:20:00
were
00:20:01
based on
00:20:04
biblical texts which provided basic a
00:20:09
basic framework for the legal systems
00:20:14
Etc these were cast
00:20:19
aside and were replaced by what they
00:20:25
called democracy
00:20:29
democracy
00:20:32
became the
00:20:33
[Music]
00:20:35
new
00:20:39
legislator determining right and
00:20:44
wrong according
00:20:47
to the majority
00:20:52
opinion which in
00:20:55
fact made right and wrong
00:21:02
unstable
00:21:03
because what is Right today can become
00:21:08
wrong
00:21:10
tomorrow and what was wrong
00:21:13
today can become right
00:21:18
tomorrow so there is no
00:21:21
Compass
00:21:23
stable to guide the civilization
00:21:30
through
00:21:32
rule of the
00:21:34
world as rulers of the current
00:21:39
world there are no
00:21:43
clearcut
00:21:46
principles which can be
00:21:49
universally
00:21:51
applied it's about
00:21:54
majority rule
00:21:59
and this is what now Muslims are faced
00:22:04
with
00:22:06
as Western Civilization seeks
00:22:11
to further
00:22:13
extend
00:22:16
and
00:22:18
establish its
00:22:23
rule it confronts Islam
00:22:29
as a
00:22:32
backward
00:22:37
uh system which is
00:22:39
incapable of dealing with modern
00:22:47
civilization and its
00:22:50
issues when in
00:22:54
fact
00:22:56
Islam as Muslims have always
00:22:59
said is good for all
00:23:03
times all places and all
00:23:08
people Allah didn't send
00:23:11
down a body of guidance in terms of
00:23:18
laws for a particular
00:23:22
time a particular
00:23:26
place it was sent
00:23:29
for all of
00:23:31
humankind as the final message of course
00:23:34
it was preserved as the previous message
00:23:37
of the same
00:23:41
thing
00:23:43
was
00:23:45
taught but because it was for a limited
00:23:50
period of time Allah chose not to
00:23:54
preserve it as he preserved the final
00:23:59
message that Prophet Muhammad sallallahu
00:24:01
alaihi wasallam
00:24:04
brought so
00:24:07
Muslims
00:24:09
today are
00:24:12
challenged
00:24:14
with tackling the issues the
00:24:19
problems especially in the field of
00:24:24
Education in such a
00:24:27
way that
00:24:29
the
00:24:30
Islamic
00:24:33
understanding is preserved as the
00:24:36
foundation for our civilization as it
00:24:40
was in the past it needs to be in the
00:24:44
present and it will be and needs to be
00:24:47
in the
00:24:51
future
00:24:53
so it's not
00:24:55
about Islam and modernism
00:25:01
Islam
00:25:03
includes
00:25:05
modernism in accordance
00:25:08
with its understanding it is modern in
00:25:12
its
00:25:15
understanding it is ancient in its
00:25:18
Origins because it began with
00:25:22
Adam but it remains modern suitable for
00:25:27
every
00:25:31
place every time and every
00:25:39
people that is our
00:25:42
reality and that's what we are
00:25:46
required to understand and
00:25:52
defend and implement

00:30:03
so my brothers and
00:30:07
sisters it is not
00:30:10
modern to
00:30:12
go
00:30:14
from male bathrooms and female bathrooms
00:30:19
to three kinds of
00:30:22
bathrooms male female and those who
00:30:27
don't identify with male or female this
00:30:31
is
00:30:32
insanity that's what it is pure and
00:30:35
simple it's
00:30:37
Insanity it's not
00:30:40
modern it's
00:30:42
satanic not modern we have many other
00:30:46
names for it not
00:30:50
modern it may have happened in modern
00:30:53
times but simply because it happened in
00:30:55
modern times didn't make it modern
00:30:59
because the concept goes
00:31:02
against
00:31:06
reality
00:31:08
so our
00:31:11
challenge muhammadia which
00:31:14
rose in the
00:31:20
20s and our
00:31:22
challenge
00:31:24
today remains
00:31:28
the
00:31:29
integration of Islamic
00:31:34
knowledge into the
00:31:37
various
00:31:39
institutions that educate and guide the
00:31:46
society and this has
00:31:50
been a goal an important
00:31:55
goal for the University which are I set
00:31:59
up the international open
00:32:04
University
00:32:05
where the
00:32:09
instructors of all
00:32:12
subjects not just Islamic
00:32:15
Studies Arabic but all the other
00:32:21
disciplines were
00:32:22
chosen because of their Islamic
00:32:26
consciousness
00:32:30
and their
00:32:33
commitment to deliver their subjects
00:32:36
whether
00:32:37
it business
00:32:40
administration
00:32:42
psychology Banking and finance whatever
00:32:46
whatever subject they were
00:32:49
teaching would be taught from an Islamic
00:32:56
perspective it should be there there in
00:32:59
every
00:33:01
class not there once a
00:33:05
week
00:33:07
occasionally but there in every
00:33:11
class because Islam is
00:33:16
relevant and that's what we have a
00:33:20
struggle in the society to deal with
00:33:22
today we need to bring back that re
00:33:24
relevance because it got lost
00:33:29
when we had the quranic recitation here
00:33:32
beautiful
00:33:34
recitation my
00:33:36
brother
00:33:38
but for the vast majority of
00:33:42
you it was
00:33:47
music because you didn't know what it
00:33:50
said what he recited you have no idea
00:33:52
what it what it was about what Allah is
00:33:55
saying there you enjoy
00:34:00
the beauty of his
00:34:03
voice and that's what quranic recitation
00:34:06
has
00:34:10
become Islamic
00:34:15
music and that is not what the Quran was
00:34:18
meant to
00:34:21
be and that's why I would advise
00:34:24
muhammadia to establish in all of its
00:34:28
occasions Etc that whenever the Quran is
00:34:33
read the translation in Bahasa is read
00:34:37
along with
00:34:39
it because the goal of the recitation of
00:34:43
the
00:34:44
Quran is guidance Allah called
00:34:48
[Music]
00:34:51
it guidance for those who fear
00:34:55
Allah how can you be Guided by what you
00:34:58
don't
00:35:01
know you can just listen sounds nice
00:35:05
pleasurable but where's the
00:35:10
guidance we have lost that along the
00:35:14
way we have lost that along the way the
00:35:19
sahaba told us that they used to learn
00:35:22
the Quran 10 verses at a
00:35:26
time and and they wouldn't move on to
00:35:29
another 10 until they understood what
00:35:33
was in the first 10 that they memorized
00:35:37
they
00:35:38
learned and they sought to apply
00:35:42
it they said we we
00:35:46
learned
00:35:47
IM
00:35:49
and at the same time that combination
00:35:53
was there and this is where we have have
00:35:59
deviated from that original
00:36:04
path and the
00:36:07
understanding has become
00:36:11
lost it's left to particular
00:36:15
individuals
00:36:17
the and the masses of the
00:36:20
people remain ignorant and
00:36:24
accept that ignorance
00:36:29
so we need to change
00:36:32
this we need to make the Quran and the
00:36:36
Sunnah
00:36:38
relevant in the
00:36:41
lives of the members of our
00:36:45
civilization the civilization of
00:36:48
faith we need to bring it back into our
00:36:52
schools bring it back into all of our
00:36:55
educational institutions
00:36:57
so that whatever is written whatever
