06:29There's a part of society that gets revolutionized.
06:33It changes.
06:34But in these 23 years, these people, the ones who followed the Messenger of Allah, and eventually, the entire region went through a change.
06:44In these 23 years, you don't ask yourself,
07:14remember, how they say, remember, how they treat their wives, how they treat their wives, how they treat their husbands, how they treat their parents, how they treat their children, what do they do when a person dies, what is it that they're proud of, what is it that they're ashamed of?
07:25You know, usually, you know, they'reucht, why they treat their children, they're called their times of their own not really, you know what they're thinking about.
07:55You study, for example, the French Revolution, or the Bolshevik Revolution, or you study the revolution in China, or even if you study the Iranian Revolution in the 70s.
08:05There are lots of history. For students that are students of politics and students of political history, it's a fascinating subject to study revolutions in the world.
08:15And those revolutions, if you take any one of them, when they come, they revolutionize that society.
08:20Something changes. There's a violent eruption eventually, and there's a flip of the government, or down with the church, or down with the hierarchy, or down with the king, or whatever else.
08:31And a new system comes in place. But you know what? People fundamentally stay the same. They still eat the same stuff. They still want the same things.
08:40The only reason they had a revolution was because they couldn't get the things they wanted, or they felt they were being treated unfairly.
08:47And now, after the revolution, they can actually get what they want.
08:51So the hearts of the people didn't change. The society changed to surrender to the hearts of the people.
08:58Those are revolutions. That's the history of revolution. We want justice on our terms. We want power on our terms.
09:05We want a better life on our terms. We're willing to fight for it.
09:08There's some things in our hearts, and we will fight for what we feel is what we deserve.
09:14We're even willing to die for it, and then revolutions happen in history.
09:19The Qur'an's revolution, the Prophet's revolution, ๏ทบ, is different from any revolution in the history of the world.
09:27It wasn't telling people to fight for what they want. It was first changing what they want to begin with.
09:35The first campaign, the first part of this revolution was to transform the hearts of these people.
09:41And when you say the hearts were transformed, because the qalb is a big part of the narrative of the Qur'an, changing the heart.
09:48The heart is actually at the center of the conversation going on in the Qur'an, especially in the early Qur'an.
09:52It's not just about a heart turning to Allah, but it begins with that. The heart turns to Allah.
09:57And when the heart turns to Allah, everything you see starts looking different.
10:02Now, first of all, everything you see is a creation of Allah.
10:05Everything you see is a gift of Allah. None of it is yours.
10:10You don't even belong to yourself.
10:13That's revolutionary.
10:15You'll have societies that say, the ultimate owner of me is myself.
10:19The ultimate authority of me is my individual self.
10:22I, my self-determination, my independence, my choices, my freedom, my feelings,
10:28that will determine what kind of life I want to live.
10:31I am the ultimate authority.
10:34You know, in the ancient times, Fir'aun used to say, I'm the ultimate authority.
10:37I'm your God.
10:39Now we're living in modern times.
10:40Everybody says, no, no, no.
10:42We don't need one Fir'aun.
10:43Each one of us can be our own Fir'aun.
10:45I'm my own God.
10:46ุฃูุฑูุฃูููุชู ู
ููู ุงุชููุฎูุฐู ุฅููููููู ููููุงูู
10:50And it's actually that God that was broken by this revolution of the Qur'an first.
10:56It was shattered.
10:58Human beings were taught to conquer the false God inside themselves.
11:04That resides in their hearts.
11:06ููู
ููู ูููููู ุดูุญูู ููููุณููู ููุฃูููููฐุฆููู ููู
ู ุงููู
ูููููุญูููู
11:09Whoever can be protected from the evil, the intense selfishness that they have inside
11:16of themselves, those people have attained success.
11:19The Qur'an was a revolution inside the hearts.
11:21Before you think it was a political revolution, or an economic revolution, or a social revolution,
11:27or a legal revolution, or any other kind of revolution, the revolution that the historian
11:31does not see, you know, non-Muslims study Islam, non-Muslims study Islamic history.
11:36They do PhDs in this stuff.
11:38And they're trying to figure out how did this revolution in Arabia happen?
11:42How did this thing happen?
11:43And they're, oh, this was a military movement.
11:46This was an expansionist movement.
11:47And they're trying to frame it the way they frame every other revolution.
11:50What they cannot see, what they cannot perceive, is that this was a transformation
11:55of the world inside a person, not the world outside a person.
11:59That was the first transformation.
12:02But when that transformation happens, once that transformation happens inside a person,
12:08something changes.
12:10That wasn't, it wasn't, it didn't stop there.
12:12It didn't just say, Allah, I'm not telling you there was a revolution inside of people,
12:16and it stopped there.
12:17No, no, no, that was the starting point.
12:18That was the seed.
12:20But now that seed has to,
12:22ุฃูุตูููููุง ุซูุงุจูุชู ููุฑูุนููููุง ููู ุงูุณููู
ูุงุกู
12:24The roots of it are deep, the tree, the roots of it are deep,
12:29and the branches go into the sky, Allah says.
12:32That's actually a pretty good description of what happened in the seerah of the Prophet ๏ทบ.
12:37It starts with,
12:38ููู
ูุซููููุง ููููู
ูุฉู ุทููููุจูุฉู ููุดูุฌูุฑูุฉู ุทููููุจูุง
12:41ุฃูุตูููููุง ุซูุงุจูุชู ููููุฑูุนููููุง ููู ุงูุณููู
ูุงุกู
12:43The example of a good word is like a beautiful, good tree,
12:47whose roots are deep and branches go into the sky.
12:50And the example of a filthy word is like, you know, just a filthy plant,
12:56that just, it's like a shrub, it just washes off or blows off.
12:59It doesn't have any roots.
13:01Right?
13:01Because when ูุง ุฅูู ุฅูุง ุงููู,
13:05when ู
ุญู
ุฏ ุฑุณูู ุงููู ๏ทบ was planted deep inside people,
13:10the way they grew, the way they matured, the way they thought,
13:13the way they emerged,
13:15different than any other kind of person.
13:18Fundamentally different.
13:19Every other kind of person said,
13:20I want to make my father proud.
13:22I want to make my family proud.
13:23I want to make this much money.
13:25I want to get that woman and that woman.
13:26I want to marry that man, the woman said.
13:29I want to have this kind of jewelry.
13:30I want to have this kind of house.
13:32I want to have this kind of horse.
13:34If I had that, I'll be successful.
13:35If I'm famous, I'll be successful.
13:37If I'm the best poet, I'll be successful.
13:40They had these standards for what is successful
13:42and they had those hopes in their heart.
13:44They lived with them.
13:45They slept with them.
13:46They woke up with them.
13:47The Qur'an came and said,
13:48I'll give you something better to hope for.
13:51I'll give you something better to be obsessed with in your heart.
13:54You can still like all of those things,
13:56but first, I just want to meet Allah.
13:59I just want to meet the one who put all of this here.
14:02Who made all of this.
14:04And then he gave me my life.
14:06So when these people emerged,
14:08they started saying things that nobody else was saying.
14:11Their value system was different from everybody else's value system.
14:15Recently, I was watching a clip.
14:16I don't know, many of you probably saw it.
14:18A new, you know, Mamdani's clip about him eating with the New York governor,
14:25eating with his hands.
14:26And they're like, if you want to, you know, do these barbaric things,
14:29go back to your home country, et cetera.
14:30This is not the way we do things.
14:33Except with French fries and burgers.
14:35And pizza.
14:38And chicken wings.
14:39And barbecue.
14:42So let's keep going.
14:46But the point that I'd like to make here is,
14:50if you don't, the culture is set,
14:52the culture works a certain way.
14:54And these believers,
14:56in the time of the Prophet ๏ทบ,
14:57they emerge,
14:58and now they're like,
14:59yeah, no, I don't do things that way.
15:02I do things differently.
15:03What do you mean you don't do things differently?
15:05You don't want to be successful?
15:06No, I don't even define success the way you define success.
15:10You don't want to be respected?
15:12No, I don't think respect comes from the place you think respect comes from.
15:16I have a different definition of respect.
15:18You don't want to be valued in your society?
15:21No, I don't think value comes from where you think value comes from.
15:24I have a completely different definition of value.
15:27You're not afraid of what people are going to say?
15:28No, I have something else to be afraid of.
15:31The comments of people don't scare me.
15:34That's not something to be afraid of.
15:37You're going to get cut off from all the people who love you.
15:39Well, I'm not sure if that's love or control.
15:44I love something far more now.
15:46This is revolutionary.
15:48This is revolutionary.
15:50Now, I'll take pause from that for a minute,
15:52and tell you something else.
15:53That doesn't have to do with our religion.
15:55I'm sure you've heard the word pioneer or trailblazer before.
15:59When someone comes along in the scientific community,
16:03someone comes along in the technology world,
16:05or any other,
16:06and says, you know what?
16:07I think there's something called gravity.
16:10And all the other scientists of the time laugh at him,
16:12and say, what are you talking about gravity?
16:13You're crazy.
16:14What is this thing you're talking about?
16:16And he says, no, no, no.
16:17I know all of you believe this,
16:19but I think there's something more going on scientifically between objects.
16:23And he comes up with a theory.
16:24And in the beginning,
16:25when he comes up with this theory that nobody's talked about before,
16:27what does society tell him?
16:29What does his own peers tell him?
16:30You're crazy.
16:32And he stays with it.
16:34He doesn't care what people think.
16:36And he keeps working on his theory.
16:38He keeps working on his invention.
16:39He keeps working on something.
16:40And then eventually, it emerges.
16:41And when it emerges, people are like,
16:43whoa, a pioneer, an inventor,
16:46a leader, an innovator.
16:48And then that innovator becomes an icon,
16:51and everybody wants to learn from that,
16:52and then build their theories on top of that.
16:54That's how scientific theory emerges.
16:56That's how political theory emerges.
16:58That's how all pioneers,
17:00when they start something,
17:01nobody accepts what they're saying,
17:03because they think they're crazy.
17:04Because for people,
17:05if you're like everybody else,
17:06you're normal.
17:07And if you're not like everybody else,
17:08you're insane.
17:09If you're eating with your hands,
17:11you're insane.
17:13You understand?
17:15Revolutions in society don't come
17:17when you're like everyone else.
17:20Revolutions in society come
17:22when you're willing to be brave enough
17:24to be different.
17:25But the problem now, in today's world is,
17:27people want to be different,
17:28not because they stand for something,
17:30because the only thing they stand for
17:32is attention.
17:33So now I want to be different,
17:35not because I believe in something,
17:37I want to be different,
17:38because it's going to get more views.
17:39It's going to be shocking.
17:42Right?
17:42But the believer was different,
17:44because something deeply rooted inside the believer.
17:48And for that reason,
17:49they became
17:49everybody else followed.
17:53But these first few people,
17:55they set a new trend.
17:57What I want you to understand
17:59in this brief khutbah,
18:00is how,
18:01some pieces of how did
18:03Allah empower his messenger,
18:05sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,
18:06to bring about the most incredible,
18:08the most 360 degree revolution
18:12in the history of the world.
18:14How did he do it?
18:16How did he do it?
18:17Every revolution has to have
18:19some manifesto,
18:21some document,
18:22some philosophy,
18:25some vision,
18:26that they go back to.
18:29Some leader,
18:29that they go back to.
18:30And some speech,
18:31they go back to.
18:32People when they talk about
18:33the civil rights movement,
18:34they'll go back to Martin Luther King,
18:35and they'll take
18:36his famous iconic speech.
18:38That becomes the heart
18:40of that movement.
18:42Allah gave this movement,
18:44the movement to be inspired
18:45by guidance.
18:47He gave that movement an icon,
18:49and that was Rasulullah,
18:50sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
18:52And then he gave that movement
18:53a manual.
18:55He gave it a manifesto.
18:57He gave it a doctrine.
18:59And that doctrine,
18:59that manifesto,
19:00they will draw their vision
19:02every time.
19:02They'll draw their inspiration.
19:05They'll know why they're
19:05fighting for this cause.
19:07That was the Quran.
19:08That was the Quran that he gave them.
19:11And the more these people
19:13engage the Quran,
19:14the more they changed
19:15on the inside.
19:16They just changed
19:17on the inside.
19:18And the more
19:19they just realized,
19:20I've been afraid
19:21of the wrong thing.
19:23I've been running
19:23after the wrong thing.
19:25I've been obsessed
19:26with the wrong thing.
19:27I've been submitting
19:28to the wrong thing.
19:32Everyone, move forward.
19:33Lots of people are coming in.
19:34They're asking me
19:35to move forward.
19:36All of you to move forward.
19:37InshaAllah.
19:37Make as much room as you can.
19:44Now, the next step
19:54in this revolution
19:55that the Rasul of Allah brought
19:57sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
19:59Not just these people
20:00have transformed
20:01on the inside.
20:02Now, they stand confidently
20:04for what they believe.
20:07They stand confidently
20:08for what they believe.
20:09And they don't change
20:11what they believe
20:12when society changes.
20:15They keep staying
20:16the same way.
20:18In time of war,
20:19they're the same.
20:20In time of ease,
20:21they're the same.
20:22In economic difficulty,
20:23they're the same.
20:24In economic prosperity,
20:25they're the same.
20:27When they're comfortable
20:28at home,
20:29they're the same.
20:29When they're being kicked
20:30out of their home,
20:30they're the same.
20:31Their worldview
20:31does not change
20:32because of social pressure
20:34and trends.
20:35What is it?
20:36Because usually,
20:37culture changes
20:38when the world events change.
20:41When media changes,
20:43it starts impacting the culture.
20:45When political leaders change,
20:46it starts impacting the culture.
20:48When economics change,
20:50it starts impacting the culture.
20:52There's an effect
20:52of the markets on the culture.
20:55There's an effect
20:56of education on the culture.
20:57There's an effect
20:58of government on the culture.
20:59Culture changes.
21:00Keep switching
21:01from one thing to another.
21:02It affects fashion.
21:03It affects food.
21:04It affects everything.
21:06But people notice
21:07there's these people.
21:09The world keeps changing,
21:10but these people
21:11don't change.
21:12Why are they so steady?
21:15How are they holding
21:16their ground?
21:16How are they not moving
21:18with every trend?
21:20You know,
21:20if you move to the United States
21:22in the 80s
21:23and people ask you,
21:25what did America look like
21:26in the 80s
21:27and what were people like
21:28in the 80s
21:28and what was the politics
21:29like in the 80s
21:30and now you compare that
21:31to the politics of 2025,
21:33it's a different country.
21:35Everybody's changed.
21:37Attitudes have changed.
21:38And not just in government,
21:39but on the street.
21:42It's gone through
21:42a transformation.
21:43These people are firm.
21:46They're solid.
21:48It's like they're,
21:49in a sense,
21:50becoming timeless
21:50because they're holding
21:51on to something timeless.
21:53ุฃูุตูููููุง ุซูุงุจูุชู
21:54ุฃูุตูููููุง ุซูุงุจูุชู
21:56ุฃูุตูููููุง ุซูุงุจูุชู
21:57Allah describes his book
21:59as something
22:00ููู
ู ููุฌูุนููู ูููู ุนูููุฌูุฉู
22:01He describes his book
22:02that he didn't put
22:02any deviation in it.
22:04You know why?
22:05Because society always deviates.
22:08One election cycle,
22:11hooray for this presidential candidate.
22:14The next presidential cycle,
22:15I can't believe I voted for him.
22:17Down with,
22:18up with this one,
22:18down with that one.
22:20Does society deviate?
22:22And legislation and laws get passed
22:24because there's a cultural movement.
22:26So a lot of, for example,
22:27LGBTQ plus kind of regulation
22:30was passed in the last eight years.
22:33And now a lot of that is being undone
22:34because there's a cultural shift happening
22:36and there's a pushback happening.
22:38So culture goes this way,
22:39then culture goes that way.
22:39Then it goes this way,
22:40then it goes that way.
22:41And we're in the middle of it all.
22:43Muslims are in the middle of it all.
22:45And we think,
22:46oh, there's a change happening.
22:48We're worried about the new policies
22:50that are going to come.
22:50Let me tell you,
22:51the policies are the last thing to come.
22:53The first thing that people,
22:54politicians understand,
22:55the first thing you want to change
22:56is the attitudes of people.
22:58If you change enough attitudes,
23:00then it'll be easy for you
23:01to make new policies.
23:04The real battle is not in politics.
23:06The real battle is in the hearts
23:07and minds of people.
23:08How do you manipulate enough people
23:10to get on board with what you want to do?
23:13That's the real battlefield.
23:15The Qur'an's revolution
23:16first targeted this and this.
23:19First here.
23:19No policies were revealed yet.
23:22Attitudes were revealed.
23:24World view was revealed.
23:26And then those people stood up
23:27and challenged.
23:28They didn't challenge law first.
23:30They challenged the cultural norm.
23:31This was the story of Mecca.
23:35Very briefly.
23:37Rasul Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
23:38moves to Medina.
23:40Now Muslims are in power.
23:43So we're not like the revolution of Mecca.
23:45This is where Muslims are now in power.
23:47But even in a state of power,
23:49there are things within that society
23:51that needs to be challenged.
23:52There are some things in that culture
23:55that need to be changed.
23:57Even though they've accepted Islam.
23:59Even though they've accepted Islam.
24:01So now even Muslims,
24:02Allah is talking to the Muslims in Medina
24:04and He's telling them things like,
24:06ุฐููู
ููููู
ุจุฃููุงููู
24:08ูุงููู ูููู ุงูุญู
24:09ููู ููุฏ ุงูุณุจูู
24:10in Surah Al-Hazam.
24:12It's five years into Medina.
24:14These are words you say with your mouth.
24:16You have these cultural practices
24:17that you've come up with
24:18that you're holding on to.
24:20These are just words
24:20that come out of your mouth.
24:22Allah speaks the truth
24:23and He'll guide you to the right way.
24:25Allah created new cultural icons.
24:28I mean there's only two minutes left.
24:30So I just want to share
24:30what happened in Medina.
24:33The summary of it.
24:34The elevator version of it.
24:36Not the details of it.
24:37The summary of it is
24:38Allah inspired the truest believers
24:41because the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
24:42himself is by himself
24:43and he has a close circle close to him.
24:46Then there are weaker believers.
24:48Then there are munafiqoon.
24:50So there's the circles.
24:52Allah told the closest circle
24:54of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
24:56to become cultural icons
24:59for how to live loyally
25:01to the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
25:03So they become people to look up to.
25:06Islam is spreading.
25:07Not everybody will have access
25:08to the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
25:10Thousands of people
25:11will become Muslim.
25:12Not everybody can have one minute
25:13with the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
25:14because that means 10,000 minutes.
25:16It's not possible.
25:17Now you need more icons.
25:20You need more representatives
25:21of those values.
25:23You understand?
25:24They're being prepared.
25:25They're being prepared.
25:27Our job,
25:27anywhere we are in the world.
25:28If you're living as a...
25:29You think, you know,
25:30we're living in America
25:30so we're a minority.
25:31Americans are...
25:32Muslim Americans are a minority
25:33in this country.
25:34And if I was giving this khutbah in Indonesia,
25:36there's a majority of people
25:37in the country are Muslims.
25:40But you know what?
25:41The values of this book
25:43are always a minority.
25:46The people who stand by the values of this book
25:48are always a minority.
25:50And how will the values of this book
25:52actually impact society,
25:54whether it's America
25:54or Australia
25:55or Indonesia
25:56or Pakistan
25:56or anywhere else?
25:57People first have to
25:58deeply internalize this book.
26:01Then they have to stand tall
26:02by this book
26:03and become examples
26:04and people can say,
26:05oh my God,
26:05that's different.
26:07But it works.
26:09How come they're not shaken
26:10like everybody else is shaken?
26:12What's different about these people?
26:14They're stronger than everybody else
26:15mentally,
26:16emotionally,
26:17intellectually,
26:18spiritually,
26:20culturally.
26:20They're stronger in every sense.
26:22I want to be like that
26:23because human beings
26:23are drawn to strength.
26:26Human beings are drawn...
26:26and nothing makes you stronger
26:27than real faith.
26:30Real understanding of the world
26:31which comes from the book of Allah.
26:33From this manual
26:34that revolutionizes the hearts.
26:36And what happened in 23 years?
26:37It didn't just revolutionize the hearts.
26:39It revolutionized an entire region.
26:42And within a century,
26:43it revolutionized
26:44much of the entire globe.
26:46The world looks the way it does
26:48because of that revolution.
26:50The map of the world
26:52is the way it is
26:52because of the revolution
26:53of Rasulullah s.a.w.
26:55It's not something small.
26:59Allah showed us
27:00that the entire world
27:02can change
27:03because of this book.
27:05If just people have
27:06the right attitude
27:07towards this book.
27:08It's not just a book of rules.
27:10It's a book of attitudes.
27:11It's a book that builds a culture.
27:13It builds a mindset.
27:15It builds a certain kind of heart
27:16and a certain kind of mind.
27:19And this is the call of the day.
27:20We are now...
27:22I know I've taken over my time.
27:23Last thing I'll say to you.
27:24We are now at an age
27:25that is the biggest opportunity
27:27that Muslims have had in centuries.
27:29We have one of the greatest opportunities
27:30in history.
27:32Right now.
27:33We're in the age of open information.
27:36We're in the age of open access
27:37to anything.
27:39You want to have access
27:39to the best information?
27:41You can have it.
27:42You want to have access
27:42to the worst information?
27:43You can have it.
27:44You want to communicate with anyone
27:46anywhere in the world?
27:47You can have it.
27:47You want to debate anything?
27:49You want to debate Islam?
27:50You want to debate atheism?
27:51You want to debate Christianity?
27:52You want to debate right-wing politics?
27:54Left-wing politics?
27:54You want to debate it?
27:55You can debate it.
27:56You can get exposed
27:57to all the ideas
27:58that go for your religion
27:59against your religion.
28:01And you know what?
28:03Our belief
28:04is that the only book
28:05that has roots deep enough
28:07that no matter how much
28:08the winds go this way or that way
28:10it's going to stand where it is
28:11is this book.
28:12That's our belief.
28:13So you know what?
28:14If we become connected
28:15to the roots of this book
28:17and we plant those roots
28:18inside our hearts and minds deeply
28:19then this storm that's coming
28:22and people are going this way
28:23and that way
28:24and this way and that way
28:25I used to be extreme left-wing
28:26now I'm an extreme right-wing
28:28I used to be blue pill
28:29now I'm red pill
28:30those people
28:31they're going to go this way
28:32that way
28:33and eventually they're going to say
28:34where do I find stability?
28:36And the only stability left
28:37will be the book of Allah
28:38but the only way they'll find that
28:40is if the Muslims
28:42carry the book of Allah
28:44in their hearts
28:45on their tongues
28:46in their minds
28:48the world is waiting
28:50for Muslims to wake up
28:51and the manual for them
28:53to wake up is right here
28:55Allah handed it to us
28:57and it has never been
28:58a better time
28:59to represent the word of Allah
29:00to humanity
29:01there's never been
29:02a better time
29:03for you and I
29:04to become serious students
29:05of the word of Allah
29:06seriously internalize
29:08the word of Allah
29:09because the world
29:10is in need of it
29:10the closer and closer
29:12it gets to the brink
29:13of destruction
29:13of chaos
29:15of war
29:15of injustice
29:16the closer and closer
29:18it gets to that
29:19you realize all the corruption
29:21that was happening in Quraysh
29:22all the corruption
29:23that was happening
29:24in the time of Firaun
29:25all the corruption
29:26that was happening
29:26in the nation of Lut
29:27in the nation of Nuh
29:28all those corruptions
29:29that Allah talked about
29:30all of them
29:31you think
29:31oh that was the ancient world
29:33this is the new world
29:33all of those corruptions
29:34have returned
29:35exactly as they were
29:36and Allah decided
29:37that the answer
29:38to all of those corruptions
29:39is going to be
29:40a handful of people
29:41that are going to carry
29:42his final revelation
29:43Allah does not
29:44need the majority
29:46to change
29:47revolutions don't come
29:49from a majority
29:49they come from
29:50a handful of people
29:51that are willing
29:51to stand up
29:52they become the icons
29:54one or two people
29:56there's like one
29:57Nelson Mandela
29:58and it creates
30:00an earthquake
30:01you understand
30:02this is how
30:02revolutions work
30:03this is how
30:04cultural revolutions work
30:06so we have to be
30:08concerned far more
30:09about the campaign
30:10of hearts and minds
30:11rooted in the Qur'an
30:12than any other change
30:13if we really want
30:14if we're really concerned
30:15about the way the world
30:16is headed
30:16then we have to go back
30:18and ask
30:18how do we change
30:20the course
30:20of this
30:21if you go and say
30:23oh we want Islamic
30:24policies
30:25in a government
30:26even if you took
30:27every Muslim government
30:28and you implemented
30:29Sharia policies
30:30in all of them
30:31you think people will change
30:32no
30:33because you've changed
30:34a legislative paper
30:35piece of paper
30:36and you signed something
30:37but no hearts
30:38no minds
30:38no emotions
30:39no attitudes
30:40have changed
30:41that's where
30:41the real revolution
30:42is
30:43and it's time
30:44to bring that revolution
30:44back
30:45may Allah
30:46make us
30:47the generation
30:47that changes
30:48the tide
30:48and may Allah
30:49make us
30:50of those
30:50who take
30:51this remarkable
30:52opportunity
30:52Allah has given us
30:53and do justice
30:54to it
30:54Barakallahu
30:55wa lakum
30:56filqur'an
