   Salaam! Some Gems to Remember =)

   “It is not sufficient for us to remain insular, in insulated communities”…It’s not enough to teach and preach taqwa, we have to SHOW taqwa
   ~27 min.

   On the importance of being active citizens, serving the broader needs of humanity:
   As Muslims we have to think strongly about how we’re going to project Islamic concetps through social mechanisms, not stricly theological mechanisms. Because Americans don’t like to be told what to bleieve. But Americans love it when you feed the poor..when you look after the needy.
   ~25 min.

   “If yunus could remember Allah in the belly of a fish, then you can remember Allah in the belly of your desk in your office… dikhr”
   24 min

   hadith: The believer is purified by tests – just like like gold is purified from fire. ~17:20

   On the importance of uplifting each other and being optimistic:
   “The second lesson that we take is that many times as Muslims we succumb to a theology of bullies – we’re constantly told how bad we are – that the end of the ummah is like Murdoch – completely bankrupt – you know, being told that we’re lost. This is a horrible message!”
   12:15 – 12:30

   On the importance of Ramadan as a means of practive and preservation of our deen:
   “Allah (swt) knows the nature of human beings – we like burger king – we like it our way – So if He left this deen to us solely we’d change it, we’d modify it, we’d update it, we’d upgrade it to 7, Vista, XP, – we’d constantly change our religion until there’s nothing left. So Allah (swt) took it upon Himself to protect this religion – and not leave it to any human being.”
   9:45 – 10:15

   “One of the wisdom’s of this religion is that he ordered us to leave the halal during one month… the Muslim enters into a taqwa boot camp – so that we can leave the haram more easily the rest of the time.”
   timing?

   “One of the lessons that we take from this month is that there’s still a lot of good in the ummah”
