Adhan call to prayer
Monday lesson: What is Islam?
Praise be to God...
Whose mercy precedes His wrath
The Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful
God has called upon mankind saying: O my servants,...
I have forbidden oppression for Myself
and have made it forbidden amongst you, so do not oppress one another.
Patience, man! Have some patience!
Come on! In the name of Allah!
And so has commanded us to do good to all people.
He said, "to all people"...
And not "to those who profess your faith."
Go with God's protection!
The messenger of God PBUH said, "Will you race me, my wife Aisha?"
She said, "Yes, I would."
So they race, and Aisha finishes first.
Years pass...
And the Prophet, PBUH, asks her, "Will you race me Aisha?" and she says, "Yes."
Aisha recounts, "By then, I had gained weight."
So they race, and the Prophet finishes first. He spiritedly says, "Now we are even."
And though the Prophet was uneasy, concerned with spreading the Message,
he would get up to his daughter Fatima whenever he saw her.
He would make her sit where he was sitting and kiss her.
Jabir, a companion of the Prophet, recounted...
"I saw the Prophet walking on all fours, with his grandsons on his back...
He used to say to his grandsons...
"How excellent a camel yours is!"
Despite the kindness and compassion that filled his most pure heart...
He had patience for all but one thing...
Oppression!
(On TV) Those people know nothing of God!
We were inside the hospital...
That hospital near the mosque... They bombarded us with teargas.
We're trying...
We're trying to transport the injured to Omar Makram mosque.
We need help! We need lots of help!
Make way!
I don't know what's happening...
It's the fourth time this month.
No one came for the lesson!
People no longer want to hear the words of God.
Sometimes only one or two show up for prayer.
Mosques are becoming empty.
Looks like I need to go talk to people on the streets.
What Islamists?!
Is there an islamist who truly knows God and does such things?
lies to people and gets caught in a scandal
Would a God-fearing person say such things ?!
They use religion to trick poor people into voting for them!
That's impossible ! I personally will not vote for anyone who's bearded again
Islam is innocent of repellents
What are you doing, sheikh?
I'm apologizing to all of Egypt's Muslims over what's happening.
O God, I declare myself innocent from those people.
We now see people who do things in name of Islam..
And cause harm to the Message and Religion
Rightful preachers are being falsely mislabeled
God commanded the Prophet...
"Call unto the way of thy Lord with wisdom and fair instruction." (Quran 16:125)
If preachers were to seek work in politics...
They cannot use Islam's sanctity.
A preacher seeks people's hearts for the way of God.
While politicians seek them for their party.
A preacher must have an essential value: honesty.
While politicians may have many or no values.
Do not let your numbers trick you into pride and conceit.
Contrarily, they should be a source of humility towards God.
Do good to all people.
To Muslims and non-Muslims.
To the righteous and the sinful.
To the supporter and the dissenter.
The greatest preacher...
...is one whose actions and demeanour reflect God's grace...
...Before informing people of what God and His Prophet have commanded.
I know change doesnt occur overnight
It was a word of truth in my heart...
And now I have said it.
My biggest reward is from God.
Praise be to God, from whom we seek help and forgiveness.
