The Qur'an, Science and the Last Day - Munir El-Kassem

his topic one uh promises to be equally invigorating and certainly near and dear to many of us is science and religion in Islam the famous Greek philosopher Aristotle tells us that man mankind was designed to know and interestingly when you go deeper into Greek history it tells you that within the air within your language the word hu means all knowledge an M is highest of organic life today as we go deeper into this conference we can see the validity of this statement not very long ago many of you might have seen this very very interesting article on Newsweek science finds God a real literary mind would probably say well where was God before he was always here but throughout history scientists or science and religion has been antagonistic towards each other the more we read now we realize that there is much more collaboration much more recognition much much coming together of scientists into the fold of religion and certainly in Islam if you get a chance to read that article one of the things that you will get out of it is Islam on Islamic scholars have been recognized for their work in science over the last years the next speaker dr. Mooney Wilkinson was born in Beirut Lebanon in 1955 he was educated at a mass moccasin Islamic Institute where the foundation of his Islamic knowledge was established he was a tough student to be admitted in the pre medicine program at the American University of Beirut following his migration to Canada he continued his studies at the University of Western Ontario on earn a master's degree in medical genetics there after joining the University of Toronto to graduate as a dental surgeon in 1986 since his arrival in Canada in 1976 dr. al Kassim has been very actively involved in Islamic Dawa he has visited a large number of Muslim communities across Canada and in the United States he has also participated in interfaith dialogue and appeared in numerous radio and television programs his audio and videotapes of various Islamic issues have been widely distributed one of it was recently shown in the local TV station in many and in many countries in addition to his book fasting in Islam three others are ready for the press these are mothers of believers wives of Prophet Mohammed that's wonderfully a matter of life and death and when the call to prayer is made of Friday which is a collection of Friday sermons dr. Maria Kassim is currently a visiting Imam at a number of Islamic centres across Ontario and Canada he is married and blessed with five daughters please join me in welcoming dr. Marie you hello Kasim dr.

whom bearson in la o me Dean robbed Bashar al-asad REE Westerley Emery Mahalalel / debt and min listen II Yahoo holy all praise is due to Allah Subhanahu WA Ta'ala we praise him and we thank him and we ask him for help and guidance he who is guided by Allah Subhanahu WA Ta'ala will not be taken astray by anyone and he who is allowed by the will of allah subhana wa ta'ala to be misguided cannot be brought back to guidance by any force on the face of this earth i were witness that there is no deity to be worshipped but allah and i bear witness that muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is his servant and his last messenger sent as a true guidance to mankind so that we could follow his example at all times all places and under all circumstances my dear brothers and sisters in Islam assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh before I start discussing the topic assigned to me I again praise allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and i thank him for giving my wife and myself the opportunity to be with you for the third year in a row where I have discovered that every time we go back home we feel a certain kind of spirituality that we did not have before coming and for this we thank allah subhanahu wata'ala and we hope that we will have similar opportunities to exchange islamic knowledge and enlarge our base of brotherhood and sisterhood may allah subhanho wa taala bless all of you who have come to share such knowledge and may allah subhanaw taala help us to benefit from this knowledge i mean your oberon ameen the topic is religion and science and when we find the article and between two words we understand that these are two separate entities that are different from each other and we need to draw the relationship between the two indeed as we heard from the other brothers who spoke and from the host of this evenings proceedings people have come to look at religion and science as separate things totally different from each other always at conflict with each other and because of this we need to understand the reason why well it goes to the times in medieval Europe when there was a firm understanding that the sciences of nature and the church cannot be united according to Christian theology and this is known to everybody Adam eight from the tree of knowledge and because of that sin knowledge as is sought from nature becomes forbidden that it is not really spiritually accepted to seek such a knowledge and because of this church remained here and science went ahead in a different direction and people who pursued science where at times persecuted and they were looked upon as people of evil spirits and many of them were executed like Galileo when he dared to come forward and say that the earth was round it was an act that was unacceptable to the people of the church so the journey continued the church went this way science went that way and we kept talking about religion and science as to things that cannot be conciliated with each other when we thought from an Islamic perspective we have to say that many Muslims had fallen in the trap had fallen in the trap of finding that our religion and this is the scenario our religion is the accused entity in the courts of civilization and science is used as the evidence either for or against religion so if science brings forward a piece of information that supports religion then we say alhamdulillah this is another proof that our religion is the true religion if science happens to bring a piece of information that is contradictory to what we find in our Islam we look suspicious we look scared we feel insecure and we start to ask questions like what happened when the story of cloning unsurfaced and people Muslims started to say but how can we defend Islam I have to say before I continue any further that Islam is not the accused Islam does not stand in the court of anybody and if we talk about religion and science and we use these two terms for the sake of understanding we say that we are not talking from the perspective that Islam is the accused and science will prove it today because Islam doesn't need to be proven as a matter of fact Islam either proves science or disapproves of science Islam is the source of knowledge that can show if science had really made the right discovery or if science made the wrong discovery so this is number one in my presentation this evening we are not going to prove Islam with science it's the other way around and we have to say that Islam has no fear or any sense of insecurity that people will go ahead as we heard from our Maulana Sadiq Nasser that our Muslim scientists sought knowledge because they wanted to know allah subhana wa ta'ala more and get closer to a better understanding of the creation of allah subhana wa taala like we find in the books of history names like Ivan Cena like our Ozzy and people who really were so well rounded that when we look at them they were medical doctors they were astronomers they were mathematicians they were scholars of Sharia because they possessed knowledge as an entity because all the pieces of knowledge were in harmony they were together to create that individual that fears allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala and worships Allah subhana WA Ta'ala out of recognition for the greatness of Allah subhana WA Ta'ala as we have heard in the ayah in Nemea Shailaja Miniver de la lemma that certainly those who have the most fear of Allah subhana WA Ta'ala are those who possess the knowledge that was made available to them by Allah Subhanahu WA Ta'ala so there's no fear to go and pursue knowledge more and more and more as a matter of fact when a loss of hana wa ta'ala created Adam the first thing he did to Adam is that he educated Adam while Adam L asthma Akula immediately after creating Adam Allah subhana WA Ta'ala taught him all the knowledge that he needed to take with him in his life so education came first and as we read also in Al Quran al-karim after our will let him in a shape on a regime is Malay rahmanir rahim allah man alumel quran hala al ins analemma who'll be an the most merciful completed the quran as the source of knowledge before creating before creating man the Orang was ready that one day it will be given as the source of knowledge our Immanuel an Halep Allinson Alamo by an so knowledge to us comes first and that is why when prophet muhammad sallallahoalyhiwasallam needed to receive that revelation of knowledge it started with a kora bismi rabbika la vie hala read in the name of your lord who created he's the one who created everything all things and then out of his infinite mercy documented that in al quran al-karim and because of time constraints i ask permission from the organizers of this conference that instead of talking about religion and science in general terms that after this general introduction i will focus on a particular relationship that is surfacing these days and as you read on the cover on you of Newsweek that science finds god maybe this is the best they can find in order to express what they are finding but we say as muslims that we read al quran al-karim and we read things that for our forefathers they may not have understood it properly because the knowledge keeps unfolding every generation as a loss of hano Attalla told us in al quran al-karim he told us an al quran al-karim that he will make his knowledge available through generations that this is the will of allah subhana wa taala and as we approach the day of judgment every day we live in this life we are getting one day closer to the day of judgment and we read descriptions in al quran al-karim especially in the xxx section of a urinal cream very vivid and clear and specific descriptions of the cosmic occurrences of the Day of Judgment our forefathers read them and they said sadaqa allahu Lavigne and we continue to say the same thing sadaqa allahu Lavigne Allah had spoken the truth whether we understand it or not Allah had spoken the truth because allah subhanho wa taala told us that the quran Lyautey Hilbert we lumen vania dehiwala min healthy that falsehood does not come to the Quran either from the front or the back the Quran is immune to any falsehood the Quran is the truth revealed from the truth allah subhanahu wata'ala an that we do not understand with the limit knowledge that we possess we say Allahu Alem Allah knows better now our belief in the Day of Judgment is one of the six articles of Eman we know that they that we have five pillars of Islam and we all know them and this is the first thing we teach our children at the madrasa the five pillars of Islam and when they absorb that information we tell them that there are six pillars of Eman that there are six things that shape our faith in Allah subhana WA Ta'ala and one of them is our Eman in the day of judgment if we deny the day of judgment then by definition we become kafir Wailea the villa that we have rejected faith we cannot say that we believe in Allah but we do not leave in the day of judgment because if this is the case by definition rejection of any one of the six articles of faith will tend a person to be an unbeliever well I Avila now our belief in a glioma error is described in the second ayah of the second surah Val Quran the largest Surovell quran surat al-baqara aside will abysmal airman rahim Alif LAAM Meem pellicle kita boleh feu de nil muta teen alladhina amanu Nabil Heba you came you know salata wa min ma Razak Naomi on Feehan Lavina yeomen una bhima unzila alayka wa ma unzila mean public will herati whom you can hoon that they are certain of the hereafter in Arabic when you use the word you clean hoon it leaves no room for doubt that it is a surety that the day of judgment is going to come so having said that we know that the day of judgment is going to come and we know that the day of judgment is going to lead us to the final phase of our life that starts in the wounds of our mothers and that we go from one phase of life to another to another to another as I mentioned in a previous presentation now our prophet mohammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam told us that there are certain things that will tell us that the day of judgment is approaching people ask prophet muhammad sallallahu wasallam to tell them when will the hour strike when will it take place and we all know the account when gibreel alayhis-salam visited the muslims at the time of prophet muhammad sallallahoalyhiwasallam and he appear as a human being dressed in very white clothes and he came and he sat to the halacha of Prophet Muhammad sallallahu wasallam and started to ask him about Islam and SN and Amman and then prophet muhammad sallallahu wasallam will answer him and after every answer gibreel will say Sabich they are a soul Allah verily you have told the truth and then the Companions were astonished how could someone who is asking a question will say you have told it to how did he know that it was the truth and then after that prophet mohammed salah salem explained to them after the departure of gibreel that it was gibreel who came to teach them the elements of their Deen and among the questions the gibreel asked was the question about the hour when will it be and then prophet muhammad sallallahu wasallam answered by saying Mela Missoula unhappy alum Amina sale that the one who is asked the question does not know any more than the one who asked the question and indeed Allah subhana WA Ta'ala told us in al quran al-karim yes Aluna katyayana masaha fema anthem in vic raha allah arabic amante haha in namah anta Mundi rumah year shahe KN namie amuro namie alberto aloshy at an Aloha they ask you concerning the hour what do you know about the knowledge of the hour verily you only are a Warner about the approach of the hour no one knows there were sixteen ayat in al quran al-karim that mentioned the hour and asserted that no one knows when the hour will strike unlike many of the people around us who predicted that the hour will strike on such and such day and one stands very clear in my mind one of the televangelists went on television in 1994 and he said that the day of judgment will strike on March 22nd 1996 I still remember that March 22nd 1996 came and it's gone and and the hour did not strike we the knowledge is with allah subhanho wa taala now prophet muhammad sallallahu wasallam told us that there are minor signs and there are major signs now the minor signs some of the scholars told us that all of them came to pass we have witnessed all of the minor signs now the concern of this presentation is about some of the 10 major signs of the approach of the hour 5 of those 10 seemed to be cosmic in nature that they are related to certain happenings that are related to the cosmos certain universal happenings that will take place that will tell us that the hour is approaching and one of them is that the Sun will appear from the West instead of the east we have known that for years and years and years and we were told that the Sun will appear from the West as a sign that the hour is approaching now again I remind myself and I remind my sisters and brothers that whatever I will mention from science that people really put as as as V the absolute truth when we know it is not but what we know from science is the following what is happening is that the earth has been rotating around its axis since the creation of the universe in the beginning our earth used to complete one complete circle around its axis in 4 hours used to be very fast and it has been slowing down since then now it completes one rotation around its axis in 23 hours 56 minutes and 4 seconds and scientists know that the speed is going to diminish the earth is going to slow down up to a point where it will not be able to support any more decrease in its speed when that will happen the earth will behave like a spring that you rotate in a certain direction up to a certain point when you cannot really wind it any further in that direction then if you leave it what will happen it will start to rotate in the opposite direction and the earth is going to do that that's what scientists tell us that the earth is going to slow and slow and slow up to a point where it can not because of its mass slowed any further then it will stop briefly and will start to rotate in a clockwise fashion and guess what will happen when that takes place the Sun will appear from the West and the hadith related through the authority of Hawaii Feb newly a man from Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam about this is very clear when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam is reported to have said that when the hour approaches two nights will join each other and the people will wake up from the first night to see that the night is not over yet and they will be terrified and they will be scared and they will find that the Sun did not come out and another night came and then two nights will appear in a row and then after that the Sun will appear again but this time it will come from the West instead of the East this is and please forgive me if I move fast because of the amount of information in this presentation the second major sign among the ten signs is that the earth we'll be engulfed with smoke for 40 days and nights and there is a surah in al quran al-karim with the title surah to do Han surah to do Han whereby Allah subhana WA Ta'ala tells us in surah - Han yama tatis anna OB do honey moving youch Anna's had a verbal aleem that when the sky will bring forth a kind of smoke let's note here that it says yo matatus sama OB - honey moving that the source of that smoke is from the sky it is not from the earth and Allahu Alem Allah knows best we know from science again that the earth was hit six million years ago with a meteorite of a magnitude that killed all forms of life and caused the distinction the the extinction of the dinosaurs the dinosaurs disappeared six million years ago because of that meteorite that hit the earth and scientists are telling us that there is such a meteorite coming our way and that they are expecting it around the year 2000 126 and that they know exactly in what direction it is moving and here in the United States they are working day and night trying with their technology to build crafts that will intercept such a meteorite hoping that they can divert its path away from the earth whether they are successful or not whether this meteorite is what is mentioned or referred to in the or an we don't give ourselves the freedom to assert one way or the other but we say that we know that this is a possibility that something may hit our earth that can cause such a commotion in the form of smoke that people may be affected and as the surah mentions that it will be a brief torment and the commotions after which the people will recover briefly before the day of judgement will take place so we leave it at that and then we move to the third major sign and that is the splitting of the moon in half it is Asahi account a true account mentioned in sahih al-bukhari that at the time of prophet muhammad sallallahoalyhiwasallam the moon did split in half whether it was a scientific occurrence or not is immaterial because Allah subhana WA Ta'ala who creates the information of science that people discover does not need the causes that are known in science to make something happen so if the moon has to split we need no scientific causes because Allah subhana WA Ta'ala is the creator of the cause-and-effect and the cause and effect does not control Allah but Allah controls the cause and effect so at the time of Prophet Muhammad sallallahu wasallam there was no known scientific cause but the moon did split in half as reported by Al Bukhari now science today says that that speed of rotation of the earth plus the speed of rotation of the moon makes a fixed entity which means that if the earth will slow down the moon will speed up because the Sun is always a fixed number so as the earth will slow down in its rotation the moon has to speed up in its rotation both both around its axis and around the earth and as the moon will speed up around the slowing down earth it will come closer and closer to the earth and as it will come closer to the earth that gravitational force of the earth will be such that it will exert its influence on both halves of the moon that which is directly facing the earth and that which is away from the earth and when it reaches a certain point that the gravity will affect both halves it will split those halves into two and the moon will split in half this is what science tells us and another thing that will cause the earth also to split is that as the moon will speed up we know that there is the centripetal force and centrifugal force I don't want to go to the depth of that that will cause the elements of the moon to separate from the center of the moon if Kotaro that is Sara to one shuttle come on this is in surat al kama that the hour is approaching people say why is it in the past tense it says that the hour had approached a charata ektara that is Sara when shuttle comma because we say that the linguistic perfection of the Koran is that allah subhanho wa taala talks about things in the past tense to teach us that this is a surety that it will happen as you know that things that happened in the past already took place that when you knew that this conference started at a certain time we knew that because it's in the past so Allah subhana WA Ta'ala tells us about things that will happen in the future for sure in the past tense to tell us that it is a surety as you should know that something already happened if Katara that is Sara too when shuttle come are definitely the moon is going to split in half now the fourth is three major and prophet muhammad sallallahu wasallam talked about major earthquakes that will make all the earthquakes we hear about as minor occurrences and the quran al-karim talks as we heard in the reading of our imam in salat all Madame gazelles Allah till our Dusen's ilaha that when the earth starts to shake it's real zelda the real one as if to say that everything else before that is nothing is a joke in azusa little al doodles ella ha maharaja till lord wa taala ha that there will be three major major earthquakes we know they talk now about the major faults we know that there is a major one in California there is a major one that goes through Philippines and Japan and we know that there is a major one that runs from Afghanistan to Iran through Saudi Arabia we know that the Prophet said that there will be one in the center one in the east and one in the West Allahu Alem now for the reason of time constrain I will skip the fifth one and I will move to the description of what will happen on the day of judgement we read many ayat and please allow me to save them first in the organic language and then I will attempt to translate to understand what has been mentioned things that are so vivid and specific and clear that require the believers to believe that they will take place and now those who believe in science are saying without coming to the Quran and that's why I hope that the people who will open their hearts with a man who will know these things will use it as Dawa to go and tell those who do not know that this is Islam that this is what Allah subhana WA Ta'ala created so show us what did those who are inferior to Allah what did they create what did they bring forward a loss of hanarete Allah tells us in Surat al qiyamah that we heard from our young brother I'm looking I don't see him but he must be somewhere around when he read Surat al qiyamah and he read to us from Surat al qiyamah VII DeBary kielbasa waha cefalu camel was oomiya Shem Sewell comer we are cool in Sonoma even in Alma Farah which means that when our site will be taken by a glitter of surprise and the moon will be eclipsed and the Sun and the moon will be united together they will be one the Sun and the moon will be one and then the people will start to wonder where can we escape how can we run away from this and then the answer comes from allah subhanho wa taala kal llamas our allah arabic a human even L must occur that there is no escape today is the time when you will return to your Lord where do you want to escape and then in surah al noor salat in namadwaar dune allah Oaxaca the even new Juma to me cept way the summer o

I did not mention they even shocked at his sama if I can add water debt and caddy Han that when the sky will be split and will display a very vivid orange color that will occupy the sky there was a science fiction movie called Independence Day where they showed that the sky was filled with an orange color that filled it faith in chocolate is simmer over Kennett or that and caddy Han let's quickly go over some of those occurrences and brother please forgive me if I take a little bit over time I will try to move as fast as I can just to complete this picture what is going to happen we know that the Sun is giving us energy in the form of heat and light by nuclear explosions that are taking place in that core in the center of the Sun we do not receive the heat and the light because the Sun burning its fuel if it were burning its fuel it would have been finished and died in 4,500 years we know that the Sun now is 4.5 billion years old we know that inside the Sun in the core in the centre nuclear explosions are taking place nuclear reactions are taking place transforming hydrogen into helium and helium is an inert gas and as more helium is formed and less hydrogen is available what will happen then nuclear reactions will stop because the core will become inert the Sun is kept in its place by a balance between two forces the nuclear reactions that tend to bring the Sun outside because of the explosions away from the center and the gravitational forces in the core of the Sun that bring the things inside so the balance keeps the Sun in its place as the nuclear reactions stop the gravitational forces in the core will take over and the core will become so dense that the temperature of the core of the Sun will rise from 15 million degrees centigrade as it is now to 100 million degrees centigrade and because of that immense heat in the core of the Sun the Sun will start to expand and it will expand because of that tremendous heat from 50 million to 100 million and the Sun will expand and it will expand and where will it go when it expands it will first encounter the planet Mercury so mercury is eaten away by the Sun and then it's the turn of Venus Venus is eaten away by the Sun and the Sun is getting closer to the earth and as the Sun is getting closer to the earth whatever is left of the moon after it splits will be encountered first before it gets even closer to the earth and the Sun will eat up our moon for Eva berry kielbasa waha cephalic Omer Waja mia Shem so uncommon that the Sun and the moon will be united this is what will happen the Sun will eat the moon and then the Sun keeps on expanding because of the tremendous heat and then the heat on the surface of the earth will be unbearable and the oceans that occupy three-quarters of the area of the earth will reach a certain temperature which is just right for a chemical phenomenon known to our scientists and to our students who are studying science a phenomenon known as electrolysis electrolysis is a phenomenon whereby water is split into two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen when the temperature is just right for electrolysis to take place the waters of the oceans will start to form two parts hydrogen one part oxygen guess what happens oxygen helps combustion hydrogen is combustible so oxygen will burn the hydrogen and the oceans will be set on fire well it'll be Haru should get that the oceans will explode with fire and that will take place the oceans will explode and then what will happen after this after this while this is taking place the core of the Sun which is so dense now is forming nuclear reactions of a different magnitude whereby the hydrogen left in the core because not all of it has been converted to inert helium it is starting to form directly heavy metals heavy metals that are so dense that will start to bring the Sun closer because the gravitational force of the heavy metals will be so immense that the Sun will start to recede and will get smaller smaller have we heard it'shim suka we're at Eva Shem suka we're at that the Sun will start to fold up the other things took place and before I go on to this I will say I mentioned in the Semyon shut that and I meant it and mention also from al Quran surah Rahman faith and Jacques Tati semenova Canadore that and caddy Han just imagine this scene as the Sun is expanding so much it ate the moon what we do you expect to see in the horizon of the sky the Sun will fill half of the sky and it will be red orange in color and that's what we will see faith and shock that is Samar they cannot water debt and caddy Han that the sky will be split asunder and will look like bright or in color go back now to the Sun getting smaller and smaller and smaller well the Sun got smaller and the force is within the core are becoming so immense that the Sun will fold up and will get so small indeed it will become what other stars became a black hole we know that this universe has so many black holes scattered and these were stars like our star the Sun and they have faded into black holes and we know that those black holes can eat anything that gets close to them they just devour everything and that's why everything around them is black because if a star dares to come close to them it would be eaten away and then there's nothing around them so our Sun will become a black hole and then it will start to eat everything around it as a matter of fact also we know that everything in this universe as we know today has its opposite allah subhanho wa taala and al quran kareem told us web in kulla shay'in Helana xoJane that for everything we created we created them in pairs we when I was still at school we studied that the atom is made of protons neutrons electrons today for the electron there is the positron for the proton the positive proton there's the negative proton and the neutron has the antineutron everything has its opposite and we know that in this universe everything will come to its opposite where it will be brought together and then it when these things come together we know that they will disintegrate because science tells us again we go back to science it's ok let's get that argument from science but we are talking about the Koran science tells us that when two pieces of matter opposite to each other come close and unite they disintegrate and they produce radiation like gamma radiation this is a scientific law that is known to the scientific community today and again that these radiations gamma radiations now can be split into matter and antimatter and when this will happen the universe will start to fold up and we read that we are getting close to the end of this presentation but I would like to be exact encoding this ayah which is so exact whereby Allah subhana WA Ta'ala tells us in Surat father in I a number 41 inna llaha after all we live in a shaytan al rajim bismillah ar-rahman ar-rahim inna llaha UMC Kusum a virtual order ant Azula whether in Zulueta in an Sokka whom Amin AAHA deem embody that it is only allah subhanho wa taala that has kept the matters of this universe and the antimatter's from coming close to each other and disintegrating that's what we read and saw a father that it is only allah subhana wa ta'ala who is holding them apart and when he wills he will bring them next to each other and then they will disintegrate and we also read an al quran al-karim you know something that I would like to end with we read a style villa in surah Tennessee at what summer ivenna in her bi Eden were in a Lamaze he owned or it could be surat al-nas Allah Allah Allah was summer a banana happy i Eden were in Elam you see own that we are causing this universe to expand to expand nowadays scientists know that the universe is expanding that it continues to expand and this is related to another area from the Quran they were arguing in the scientific community what's the origin of the universe how did it start and this and that and there is the creationist versus evolution a theory you know in Islam things are very clear but what did the scientific community say the scientific community said that the origin of the universe is that it is the Big Bang Theory well the Big Bang Theory is right from al quran al-karim it is right from an quran al-karim where allah subhana WA Ta'ala says and al quran al-karim our immoral insane oneness Emirati uh larvae can''t effort can cannot erotic on pathetic na hoona that the heavens and the earth were one and then we caused them to split and when they split the energy of that explosion caused all the stars and all the planets to move away from the center of that universe from the center of that mass and the energy is still sustaining the expansion of the universe until today in 1927 Hubble Hubble discovered that the universe was expanding now they say that the expansion of the universe we'll explain the end of the universe either it will reach a point where there's no more energy and it will stop there at the edge of the universe or more plausible that the universe will act like the accordion where after you expand it it has to come back to its original shape that the universe is going to come back to that original mass what did allah subhanho wa taala tell us and al quran al-karim estai mm smellorama

made it a little bit unclear to some of us who are present here this evening but I tried to use simple terms for one reason that when we read al quran al-karim we have to know for certainty that we are reading the truth and that to keep the truth to us is selfish that we need to share it with all those around us we need to tell the world that this is Islam Islam is not based on hearsay on fantasy tales on fairy tales Islam is the truth from Allah subhana WA Ta'ala wherein there will be no falsehood and that is why it is an important part of the theme of education to find out that this is our Deen this is our Islam and that is why if we thank Allah subhana WA Ta'ala with every breath we take it will not be enough to thank him for the blessings he has given us in al quran and in the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad sallallahu wasallam so that when we teach our children at the academy like the academy of new real islam and this is what i want to come to focus on when we will have such an academy on these grounds as we heard from our imam sadiq that we don't want to teach them physics as a dry subject astronomy as something that they could not relate to chemistry as something that they just need to pass but when we teach them all of these sciences with allah subhana wa ta'ala in mind with Eman as the common denominator then and only then we may have hope that will we will have another even Sina another rosy another Farabi we will have an awakening that I could not help but share with the emotion of my dear brother Osman when I sensed from his voice the emotion of seeing the dream becoming true my eyes water too because after three years of meeting with you even briefly I consider this to be my home and I hope that one day Allah subhana WA Ta'ala will be generous enough to reward me with another visit to the Academy to see that this institution will be indeed what the name is new rule Islam that it will be Nurul Islam because for those who don't know what the name of name of your Jamaat is it's the light of Islam and if you have taken this to be the name of your Jamaat might as well make it a reality whereby these children that marched and we're excited to see what is happening those children are going to remember this day insha'Allah when they will become our scholars that will deliver us from the darkness that we are living in today when we heard from mufti hasson that the state of affairs of the Muslims today is such that we are fighting over trivial issues and we are leaving what is important for our enemies to point fingers at us and call us names and you know what at times we deserve it we deserve it because unless we plan for the future and have patience and ask Allah subhana WA Ta'ala for his help we may continue to dream and dream and fight with this young voice coming i get the reminder that perhaps i really went over but I hope that these words will be translated into thoughts and actions and may Allah subhana WA Ta'ala bless you and if I have said things that are in line with the truth coming from Allah subhana WA Ta'ala I asked him for his rewards but if I have said anything which is contrary to the truth I ask for his forgiveness wassalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh this is for dr. Dan you can see we see yeah I missed a point where you talking about the size of care when you mention the freight side the earthquakes one scientific expedition did you get for that just the mere fact that there are false geological faults within the earth crust that I mentioned one is through the west coast of North America one through Philippines and Japan and one through Afghanistan Iran and Saudi Arabia and these are major major faults that you know I I repeat none of the information I mentioned from science is a confirmation that this will be the actual cause of the particular sign that has been mentioned either in the Quran or ýbrahim salah salem i do not give myself that permission i don't think anybody should give him or herself that permission but we are basically making observations so this is just an observation that this is what is happening and the Prophet said that there will be a central one and there will be one to the east and one to the west
