Summary

TLDRDiskou sa a pale sou kapasite enkwayab ke chak moun genyen ki soti nan lafwa yo ak Lespri Bondye a. Li envite moun yo a reflechi sou sa ki nan kontwòl yo ak sa ki pa, an menm tan ap note ki jan anpil musulman aktyèlman aksepte yon atitid san espwa. Diskou a te kite yon mesaj klè sou nesesite pou restore konfyans ak yon sans de tèt ki sòti nan Koran an ak lafwa; li fè konnen ke se jis paske nou se pitit Bondye, nou se espesyal. Genyen, pafwa, yon sans de 'fake humility' ki anpeche moun yo aktive kapasite yonn, ak yon apèl pou aksyon ki ta pèmèt kominote a leve soti vivan, se sa ki konprann pou ankouraje devlopman nan tout aspè nan lavi yo ak kominote a.

Takeaways

Timeline

  • 00:00:00 - 00:05:00

    Nan premye seksyon an, oratè a fè yon apèl pou konprann pouvwa ki nan tèt nou e ki soti nan Allah. Li eksprime ke menm si anpil Mulsiman santi yo san fòs, sa a se yon ilizyon. Li ensiste sou bezwen pou reyalize kapasite nou genyen ak desizyon ki anndan nou, menm jan ak sa Dr. Muhammad Iqbal te montre nan filozofi li, kote se nou menm ki ekri liv pwòp nou nan lavi.

  • 00:05:00 - 00:10:16

    Nan dezyèm seksyon an, oratè a devlope sou relasyon nou ak Allah ak Koran an, ak sou konsèp de modès ak konfyans. Li klèke bezwen pou fè yon distenksyon ant imilite reyèl ak imilite fo; li pwomèt ki jan yo ka kenbe yon santiman de valè pèsonèl san yo pa tonbe nan egoyis. Li mete aksan sou enpòtans nan sipòte etid Koran la ak sipò pou elèv ki enterese nan aprann sa a, pandan l ap eksprime ki jan sa kontribye nan misyon pataje bote ak sans Koran an atravè mond lan.

Video Q&A

  • Ki sa ki konsèp "hoodi" a?

    Li se lide pou ekri pwòp liv ou, ki reflete sou kapasite ak dihite ki genyen nan chak moun.

  • Kijan pou restore konfyans nan tèt nou kòm yon kominote?

    Pa aksepte yon mantalite san espwa, men soulimen sa Allah te ban nou ak kapasite nou genyen.

  • Ki sa ki enpòtans etidye Koran an?

    Etidye Koran an menm bay yon fondasyon ak oryantasyon nan lavi, ede restore sans de tèt.

  • Kijan pou jwenn ekilib ant sa ki nan kontwòl nou ak sa ki pa?

    Lè ou reyalize kapasite ou ak sa Allah te enfuze andedan ou, ou ka fè balans sa.

  • Ki sa ki sou 'impostor syndrome' ak fòs entèlektyèl?

    Li refere a yon sans fo de mank de kapasite, ki pa koresponn ak sa Allah te ba ou.

  • Ki sa ki ladrès nan fè demann pou konsèy?

    Li pi efikas pou fè demann ki vize sou pwogram konkrè olye ke jeneral.

  • Kouman lafwa ak konfyans ka koexist?

    Nou ka mache ak imilite ak konfyans an menm tan, sa a se yon favorit Allah.

  • Ki enpòtans Dewl-Allah a nan mwens konsyans de tèt?

    Si ou bliye Allah, ou ka bliye pwòp tèt ou ak sa ki nan kapasite ou.

  • 00:00:00
    we're not acknowledging the r that Allah
  • 00:00:01
    blew inside us that the Angels made s
  • 00:00:03
    that to the angels made s that to it man
  • 00:00:07
    or because of it and here we are
  • 00:00:09
    thinking we're helpless I can't make a
  • 00:00:11
    decision I don't know what to do you're
  • 00:00:13
    not helpless you're incredibly powerful
  • 00:00:18
    [Music]
  • 00:00:31
    Salam alikum um you mentioned how Allah
  • 00:00:34
    is in absolute control over everything
  • 00:00:37
    in our life and he has given us some
  • 00:00:40
    control in it um the uh there's a
  • 00:00:44
    renowned um philosopher Islamic
  • 00:00:46
    philosopher and poet he says Inu
  • 00:00:52
    um um basically the idea of being the
  • 00:00:55
    writer of your own book and a lot of his
  • 00:00:57
    work revolves around the concept of
  • 00:00:59
    hoodi um and that does sounds reasonable
  • 00:01:02
    in a way like you know because after the
  • 00:01:04
    Advent of Islam like you know the
  • 00:01:06
    Muslims uh there was a golden age all
  • 00:01:08
    over and um that because Islam I think
  • 00:01:11
    really gave them a sense of recognition
  • 00:01:13
    a purpose and identity and we this time
  • 00:01:17
    in this era we've certainly lost some of
  • 00:01:20
    that control that was actually in our
  • 00:01:23
    control but assuming that it's not in
  • 00:01:25
    our control um maybe as a matter of we
  • 00:01:28
    think as you can say so my question to
  • 00:01:32
    you sad is how we can bring that balance
  • 00:01:35
    back um considering what's in our
  • 00:01:37
    control and what's not in our control in
  • 00:01:39
    the light of Quran I'm I'm really glad
  • 00:01:41
    you brought up uh Dr Muhammad ibal yes
  • 00:01:44
    because he's one of my biggest
  • 00:01:45
    influences um and I do believe that his
  • 00:01:49
    uh his poetry his philosophy even his
  • 00:01:51
    English work those of you that are
  • 00:01:52
    interested in his English work he wrote
  • 00:01:54
    a paper called the Reconstruction of
  • 00:01:55
    religious thought in Islam uh might be
  • 00:01:58
    of interest to you those of you that are
  • 00:01:59
    philosophically inclined and are okay
  • 00:02:01
    with heavy reading that would be quite a
  • 00:02:03
    read the Reconstruction of religious
  • 00:02:05
    thought and Islam but anyway um one of
  • 00:02:09
    the most important points he makes is
  • 00:02:11
    that uh what Allah has given the human
  • 00:02:14
    being in the Quran is an
  • 00:02:17
    elevated self sense of self which is
  • 00:02:20
    different from arrogance uh so his
  • 00:02:22
    concept ofi of the self is actually
  • 00:02:24
    honoring
  • 00:02:26
    yourself and how much Allah has honored
  • 00:02:28
    the soul and how everything that
  • 00:02:30
    emanates from our efforts in this world
  • 00:02:33
    comes from that the amount of power
  • 00:02:35
    Allah gave the human soul right now you
  • 00:02:40
    really I think hit the nail on the head
  • 00:02:42
    Muslims have accepted a an attitude of
  • 00:02:46
    helplessness around the world we've just
  • 00:02:48
    accepted oh you know what are we what
  • 00:02:50
    can we do we can only make Dua what can
  • 00:02:52
    we do we can we can't do anything we're
  • 00:02:54
    disunited we're this we're this we're
  • 00:02:55
    this we're this with this we're just
  • 00:02:56
    looking at ourselves as this helpless
  • 00:02:59
    lost
  • 00:03:00
    you know once once Glorious Days used to
  • 00:03:02
    be there now they're all gone and we're
  • 00:03:04
    not going to be able to get it back Etc
  • 00:03:06
    and his argument is actually very Quran
  • 00:03:08
    inspired it is to First realize who you
  • 00:03:12
    actually are and what you're capable of
  • 00:03:15
    like that first your own
  • 00:03:16
    self-actualization and realization and
  • 00:03:19
    how Allah is giving you that empowerment
  • 00:03:21
    through his word that is the first step
  • 00:03:24
    to any Revival of Any Nation right and
  • 00:03:28
    we're we are at that stage now where we
  • 00:03:30
    we need to restore our sense of self you
  • 00:03:34
    know the my favorite Ayah of the Quran
  • 00:03:37
    on this note is actually
  • 00:03:45
    in right don't become like those who
  • 00:03:48
    forgot Allah Allah made them forget
  • 00:03:50
    themselves what does that mean they
  • 00:03:51
    forgot themselves they forgot the
  • 00:03:53
    amazing truth that lies even within them
  • 00:03:57
    so if you couldn't value Allah it
  • 00:03:59
    necessarily ended in you not being able
  • 00:04:02
    to Value yourself and so those both of
  • 00:04:05
    those things actually go hand in hand
  • 00:04:06
    now what's happened in broken Muslim
  • 00:04:08
    cultures is you value Allah and you know
  • 00:04:11
    what that means you're worthless you're
  • 00:04:13
    useless you're a loser you're you're a
  • 00:04:15
    fak you're a you're a MK you're a sinner
  • 00:04:17
    you're a blah blah blah blah blah and
  • 00:04:19
    that's because you love Allah so much
  • 00:04:21
    and there's this like false humility I
  • 00:04:23
    believe in humility but I don't believe
  • 00:04:25
    in false humility I don't believe in
  • 00:04:27
    deprecating yourself and constantly
  • 00:04:29
    putting yourself down as your prayers
  • 00:04:31
    aren't good enough your duas aren't good
  • 00:04:33
    enough your sins are too many you know
  • 00:04:36
    make but Allah doesn't want to have
  • 00:04:38
    people live in shame make and move on
  • 00:04:42
    make and he wanted you to build in this
  • 00:04:45
    world he wanted you to develop you know
  • 00:04:48
    so that level of confidence does need to
  • 00:04:50
    be restored and I do believe like uh to
  • 00:04:53
    to me when I think about my own
  • 00:04:56
    relationship with Allah subhana T my own
  • 00:04:57
    relationship with Islam itself the
  • 00:05:00
    pillar in it has been the Quran like
  • 00:05:03
    studying the Quran kept me grounded with
  • 00:05:06
    the changes that were happening in the
  • 00:05:08
    world and I often ask myself when people
  • 00:05:11
    come and ask me questions about what's
  • 00:05:13
    going on in the world or what they're
  • 00:05:15
    feeling and you know even a young man
  • 00:05:17
    I'm not trying to diss you but I love
  • 00:05:18
    you I'm going tell you anyway people
  • 00:05:20
    come up to me and ask me just give me
  • 00:05:22
    some
  • 00:05:22
    advice give me some advice and I told
  • 00:05:25
    the young man I'm offended by that
  • 00:05:27
    question and there's a number of reasons
  • 00:05:30
    I'm offended by that question how
  • 00:05:33
    are if I don't know you and you're
  • 00:05:36
    coming to me and asking me give me some
  • 00:05:38
    advice that is about as empty as it can
  • 00:05:40
    be and I know I would never in at any
  • 00:05:43
    age of my life whether I knew much or
  • 00:05:44
    didn't know much that at no age of my
  • 00:05:47
    life would I randomly go to somebody
  • 00:05:49
    that I looked up to a scholar a a
  • 00:05:51
    teacher whoever and just go to them and
  • 00:05:53
    say hey I just need you to what give me
  • 00:05:56
    some advice I I wouldn't do it I
  • 00:05:59
    wouldn't do it for a number of reasons
  • 00:06:01
    one I would know that they don't know me
  • 00:06:02
    so how can they give me advice and why
  • 00:06:05
    is it that the work that they're
  • 00:06:06
    actually doing which I'm benefiting from
  • 00:06:09
    isn't itself the
  • 00:06:11
    advice why do I need something P
  • 00:06:13
    personally catered to
  • 00:06:16
    me customized for my feel-good
  • 00:06:19
    experience because all this other that's
  • 00:06:21
    that's for everybody else though I want
  • 00:06:23
    something special for me right and this
  • 00:06:27
    is this kind of uh not not to insult the
  • 00:06:30
    idea but this is very common this
  • 00:06:31
    actually very common nowadays I you know
  • 00:06:34
    and it's not even about me you could be
  • 00:06:36
    like St studying something so
  • 00:06:38
    magnanimous the word of Allah and at the
  • 00:06:39
    end of it you're like but yeah but what
  • 00:06:41
    about me though I want something special
  • 00:06:44
    just for me you know what that is that's
  • 00:06:47
    kind of an
  • 00:06:49
    exceptionalism right as if Allah's word
  • 00:06:51
    doesn't have that
  • 00:06:53
    power right and I just want to break
  • 00:06:56
    that mentality the other side of that is
  • 00:06:58
    my own side
  • 00:07:00
    my own side is why would I give somebody
  • 00:07:02
    advice that I know nothing about that
  • 00:07:04
    would be really self-righteous and
  • 00:07:05
    pompous and arrogant of me let me tell
  • 00:07:08
    you young man do this and
  • 00:07:11
    what I you know when I but when somebody
  • 00:07:14
    comes and says hey I need your advice on
  • 00:07:17
    studying Quran systematically I need
  • 00:07:20

    purposeful you
  • 00:07:41
