I give my thoughts on the recent attack in America and why we should not be blaming the religion of Islam for it. I also give a brief summary of what the Quran teaches us about not harming innocent civilians and why the Quran does not allow us to harm innocent civilians.
00:03:30.300I want to highlight to you guys today is what saddens me is because I live not too far from here.
00:03:35.140This could have been my family member.
00:03:37.060This could have been the family member of my friend.
00:03:39.100And this individual whose claim, who claims to be a Muslim and who's doing this maybe in the name of Islam has got enough to do with Islam.
00:07:05.020In America, or wherever country it may be, there is people doing killings in the name of Christianity, in Judaism, of Islam, of a variety of other religions.
00:07:14.220But nowhere do we ever blame that little individual, whoever it may be, and connect him to a certain faith.
00:07:22.040And once again, I've said this before and I will say it again.
00:07:24.120And I'm going to be putting narrations of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, on the screen, and you can see clearly for yourself, the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, and Islam is free of this.
00:07:32.860And as Muslims, alhamdulillah, we are proud to be a Muslim.
00:07:35.100Because we know what our religion really teaches the people.
00:07:37.300And we know that it's far, far away, the things that are happening today.
00:07:41.260So obviously we just wanted you guys to document this and send out a positive message.
00:07:45.760And we know there is genuine people out there who genuinely do not see Muslims as a threat because we are not a threat.
00:07:52.260And believe me, as a Muslim, do you really think that if I saw a non-Muslim in trouble, being attacked, robbed, do you think as a Muslim I'm going to watch that happen?
00:08:04.480We might have different lifestyles and different rules or different ways of living our life.
00:08:08.120But when it comes to morality or me seeing an injustice happen, my religion teaches justice and peace.
00:08:15.440You know, I will be the first one to help you.
00:08:18.480So inshallah, this message will be a positive message out there.
00:08:21.140And like I said before, I challenge anybody to show me a single verse from the Quran or Sunnah where it orders us to kill innocent women, children, men, animals, or even trees.
