He i s also an Islamic Scholar, Mualim and fiqh expert. He delivers religious lectures and khutbas for his neighbourhood Muslim brothers and sisters.
Recently, he delivered a lecture covering the ongoing plight of Muslims and the lack of good leadership Muslims are facing. He says that Muslims have a severe lack of good leadership that is why Muslims all around the world are facing grave issues. The political systems being run in more than 100 Muslim countries have not worked for Muslims be it Communism, Democracy, or Capitalism and the so called Islamic way of life. He calls it so called because Muslims have amended the teachings according to today’s world and problems. Whereas, Allah says that Quran is a-complete
book and complete way of life. It is a straight forward book.
He says that Allah says that people of intellect should ponder upon the world and understand why it was created. Allah created this world for a reason and when we understand that this life is fleeting and the purpose of our creation is larger than this life. Then only can we remain on the right path and live life how Allah wants us to live it.
When Muslims pondered upon Allah’s creations that was the time when they successfully formulated different scientific theories, inventions and what not. Today, also we need people who remind us our purpose in life. We need people who deliberate before they implement.
Another problem he highlighted was social media and how we believe everything on there without deliberation as to what is the truth.
As Muslims, we are looking for shortcuts and not looking for real solutions. We quite Muhammad SAWW to change people when we ourselves ar not willing to change. We don’t realize that change always starts with your self.
Today when we say to our children that as parents we know better. Then Allah Almighty is all knowing and how can we deny something that Allah has forbidden for us to do.
At the end of his lecture he urged his fellow brothers to ponder deep and prove scientific theories wrong with logic and calculation.
