00:01 Imam W. Deen Mohammed: Who said I in the Father and the Father in me. He said that. But what's more importantly for human beings 'cause we don't know the self of G-d, the essence and substance of G-d, we don't know it and Jesus said he didn't know it either.

00:20 IWDM: Yes, he said I know not what is in yourself but you know what is in myself. It's what Jesus Christ said. Peace be on you. Okay. So, here it comes on Jesus, Jesus said, "I in you and you in me." What is it saying? The answer is given in what G-d said to Muhammad, that's why Muhammad said there's coming a time when you see Jesus Christ and myself together 'cause he come to verify what G-d said to Jesus and what G-d gave to Jesus. He come to verify it and to continue the movement of the light of the revelation.

01:10 IWDM: So... When he said... What G-d said to Muhammad, "See, I'm a human model just like you all, talking to his following." Jesus said, "I in you, I in the Father, and the Father in me." Then he said, "I in you and you in me" to say that the life is one, the life is one. He made that very clear, that he was a human model just like his followers, not an alien, not a strange life from some... Out of the solar system or the universe. No. Origin, no. He was human like all of us down here. Made it very clear. Now... So, that's a strong premise for us to take, to build our moral, spiritual and material life upon that G-d validates my worth as a human being, that G-d has validated my worth as a human being after I had G-d be heard from the high ups, priests and monks and whatever, that I'm a center and I just have to see him, that I'm born to see him, or born in sin. But I guess so and Satan understand but he won't tell you that. Yeah, you're born in his world of sin, that's true. You're born in sin, born in the sinful world of Satan, but it doesn't mean that you carry sin, you have sin on you at birth, and you have to sin because you have sin on you at birth? No! An innocent baby have sinned on at birth? What did the baby do to get sin on their birth? 

03:01 IWDM: The baby come here sinless, sinless! And the message that Muhammad the prophet tell us, "Though you came sinless and lost your purity in this world of corruption. If you make Halogen and intend to... And have the intentions right and you were sincere to the purpose, there you will get a new chance." G-d wipes all your sins off the slate. There's nothing in the record anymore. Doesn't a president or a judge has a power to clear the record sometime? When he review the sinner and say, "Hey, he deserves better than this." Huh? 

03:51 IWDM: But he get it from G-d. That goodness, all goodness comes from G-d. He's the source of all purity and goodness. So whatever he does is nothing but a reflection of what is the best and that's G-d. Oh, yeah. So G-d does the same thing. You go to that house built by Abraham and you join the different nationalities, races, and ethnic groups from all over the planet and they had different garbs and national garbs, and you can understand their languages, they speak so many different languages but you stay in the struggle, you stay in the hiding from any struggle. Hide yourself from any struggle. You stay in the struggle and you make it to the sacred house and you perform their rituals and you do it all with your heart in it and your soul in it and your spirit in it and your mind in it. Your intention is there. You come back home with a clean slate. You might have had the woman that you shouldn't have before you went on Haj. You might have spent the money in a wrong way or you might have gotten the money in a wrong way, those are sins! 

04:55 IWDM: You might have lied to somebody and then hurt yourself as well as them. All that is erased. You come back home as a newborn baby. Newborn baby, no charges against you. Isn't that wonderful? No charges against you.

05:16 IWDM: Now, and the Bible says that was a woman and she didn't do anything, but touch the helm of Christ Jesus' garment and all her corruption of sin was gone, was gone. Well, you know that house (kaaba) got a garment.

05:44 IWDM: He's got a garment so she didn't do had do to nothing but touch the helm and we don't have to do nothing but say, "Hi" to it. Alright? 

05:54 IWDM: I come obeying you G-d, I come obeying you, huh? 

06:01 IWDM: And I raise my hand up and like I throw a kiss to him. But the crowd is so thick, I might not get a chance to go there and touch the helm. Huh? I might not get a chance to kiss the stone that fell from heaven and was redeemed and approved again and made the corner of the building. Huh? I know some of you hear me.

[laughter]

06:24 IWDM: A few of you hear me, a few of you hear me. Yeah. Yes. I saw a star in the east. She said, "I heard you, Brother."

[laugher]

06:33 IWDM: Alright, okay. And you come back, renewed. All your sins forgiven. Free, like all of them, wiped away. Let's get back to this globalization. Globalization. Globalization. This, this phenomenon, this dynamism, this activity that is inherent in the nature of the planet and in the nature of the people is recognized by the Koran, by G-d, and G-d said, "There's coming a time when the Earth is gonna behave as though she received revelation from her Lord." The earth itself. And then he says, the earth is his temple, the earth is his masjid. The earth is G-d's masjid. It's sacred, that's what he's saying. The earth is sacred. Don't violate her sacredness. Globalization. So globalization is the activity of business among different groups and nations. And it begins way back there in time. The bible says, "Jonah forgot his calling." That G-d had called him to do a specific job. But he had found comfort on a ship carrying merchandise. Cargo. And he was sleeping on the merchandise. It looked like big Negro to me.

[laughter]

08:35 IWDM: It looked like the African-American man to me as a people. Not one person, as a people. Sleeping on the cargo.

08:43 IWDM: And the ship are the government. Said, "We are in trouble. Something's rocking this boat. Go search the boat and see if you can find a reason for this trouble we in." And they went down there and found big Negro.

[laughter]

09:06 IWDM: Sleeping on the wealth of the nation. They're sleeping on the cargo. But he had a mission. G-d created him for a mission. A mission befitting human worth. Huh? 

09:26 IWDM: So, the consequences was those who were manning the ship, had to throw him off ship. "Hey, get that man, throw him off. He's the trouble. Sleeping on our wealth. Throw him off the ship." Threw him off the ship and a big whale, big fish, came and swallowed him. Big fish swallowed him, he doesn't taste like our madh'hab. He doesn't taste like our church. We gotta spit this thing out. Rushed to the shore and spit him out, puked him out. Put him back out there on land where he had to start his life all over again.

10:13 IWDM: He got a chance. He was saved from hell. Put on the shore again so he could get his head together, start his life all over again. And that's exactly what's happening to that big Negro right now.

10:37 IWDM: Humanism. Humanism. So a beautiful thing can be corrupt. The beautiful idea of our human worth that G-d reveals is the premise for us establishing ourself as a community. Our government uses it. We hold these truths to be self-evident. That all men are created equal. Equal in human value and human worth. And are endowed by their creator, are endowed with certain inalienable rights or unalienable rights, you can't take them away. Government can't even take these rights away from the human person. Among these, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Isn't that a beautiful piece? Yes. That was the piece that strengthened the first people to support our leaders, first president, and our leaders of government, to have this society we have right now. And everyone who joins us, whether they come in today or tomorrow, from overseas. They have to pledge allegiance to that idea and that purpose.

11:52 IWDM: Yes, yes. And I'm telling you, the United States, even the land discovered is not even 500 years old. It's about 500 years old now? Just the discovery of this land, 14... Yeah, say about 500 years old. 500 or more years old. That's a short period of time.

12:10 IWDM: What I'm telling you Allah revealed in Quran, 1,400 years old.

12:16 IWDM: 1,400, 26, 27. At least 1,400 years old.

12:23 IWDM: Yes, because he was a young man when... When he began preaching. He was already a young man... Well, he wasn't. He was a middle-aged man in that time. He might have been an old man 'cause he was 40 years old.

12:37 IWDM: Back then. He might've been an old man.

12:43 IWDM: And a beautiful picture of model human life that Allah wants is given in Muhammad. And Muhammad says of his model, "Anyone who accept Muhammad's model and believe in the last days," that means you accept his model for human life, that this is the excellent model of human life G-d wants for all human beings. And that ain't the first model he presented. For certainly there was a model in Abraham, was not there? 

13:19 IWDM: And a model in Jesus Christ.

13:21 IWDM: Oh yes.

13:23 IWDM: Praise be to Allah and I believe it has strong reference to, the model person that when Muhammad said that there's coming a time when the people are going to see Muhammad and Jesus Christ together.

13:37 IWDM: Praise be to Allah. He's a mystery sign. He's a mysterious sign. A mystery and a mysterious sign, of that model, Christ Jesus. And Muhammad is a clear and plain model and sign of that life.

13:59 IWDM: So they take the human idea, fall in love with it, forget G-d, or don't consult G-d. Don't look for causes and effects. Going all the way back to as far as they can with their imagination or with their power of imagination and intelligence. They don't do that. They just fall in love with the human edifice.

14:28 IWDM: And romanticize it away from G-d into corruption.

14:35 IWDM: Yes. They call it humanism... That's it. Satan inspired them to do that. Why? Because we need to correct the model of human excellence to keep our life and keep it conforming to the best.

14:57 IWDM: We need that or rob the people of it by confusing the idea of human identity and human worth. Exaggerating it, taking it into extremes. So, there is one of the schemes of Satan: Humanism. Liberalism is another one.

15:25 IWDM: The prophet declares that he's free because freedom is a precious property. A precious property. If you posses freedom, you have a precious property. You have a scared property. But that same property can be confused. The way you see it, the way you understand it can be confused by the suggestions of the Satan. And your freedom then becomes a handicap, a detriment.

15:55 IWDM: A poison.

15:58 IWDM: Something that dismembers you... Breaks you up. Brings you down.

16:08 IWDM: And make you a slave to small things.

16:13 IWDM: That you were once much above. Much above. Yes? The wrong perception of freedom. So, a liberalism. That great American. What'd he say? "Give me liberty or give me death." He didn't mean the liberty that we have, takin' liberty. That expression says that you're going astray or you're getting into trouble.

16:39 IWDM: Takin' liberty. Right? 

16:43 IWDM: You're not supposed to take liberty. It's supposed to be something naturally evolving in you.

16:49 IWDM: You shouldn't have to reach out and grab it from somebody or for some purpose.

[chuckle]

16:57 IWDM: So liberalism comes from liberty and freedom. I believe it comes from the French word, meaning "free." Freedom. Free or freedom. Liberal, liberal, liberal. Liberalism. And it becomes a terrible and dangerous term in our language.

17:18 IWDM: In our cultural language, in our society.

17:21 IWDM: After it's corrupt and fed to the people as an influence.

17:28 IWDM: And they begin to take liberties, to disobey G-d and go astray from the traditional life of human excellence. So there's another scheme of Satan: Liberalism.

17:40 IWDM: But there's an old one: Darwinism.

17:44 IWDM: Darwinism. A theory that wants to take you from what G-d showed you.

17:53 IWDM: About your beginning.

17:55 IWDM: And about your originality.

17:58 IWDM: He didn't say you originated from apes. G-d said you originated from a human soul that was only existing in abstract. And G-d made it evolve and materialize in the world to become a human person of excellence. Huh? 

18:18 IWDM: So, Darwinism is another scheme of Satan. Yes it is. And they admit it's a theory.

18:29 IWDM: A theory explaining the origin...

[pause]

18:52 IWDM: And how species by selection formed by selection, selecting, life selecting life which covers animals and plants... And it is done on chance actions, chance actions. By chance. Not planned, not reviewed, it just happens by chance. By chance those creatures selected this and selected that and came into existence. It looks like he got gambling in that, huh? 

[laughter]

19:55 IWDM: That's one of Satan's creations, gambling. He got gambling in that. And yes...

20:22 IWDM: Now, we know...getting back to humanism. Humanism is also a doctrine, a way of life centered on human interest or human values. Well, wasn't that originally what G-d gave us in Abraham? Yes? He centered... He centered his thoughts on human interest. He centered his thoughts, his mind, his ideas on human interest and human value and he thought himself too valuable to worship an idol G-d.

21:09 IWDM: So he broke the Gods that his father... His father was the man over the society, the ruler. So he broke the idols that they prayed to, as a youngster. He was a boy. And they asked him, "Sir Abraham, you are charged with breaking these idols. Did you break these idols?" He said, "Ask the biggest one.

21:44 IWDM: If I'm supposed to pray to these idols they should be able to tell on me". He said, "Ask the biggest one who broke it".

21:57 IWDM: That is to say that the idea that a human being oughta worship something that they fashioned with their own hand that's dead is ridiculous, that's what that reply is to say. He said, "Ask the biggest one who broke 'em". Now, so Abraham was a free thinker, was not he? He was a free thinker. And then, Muhammad the prophet says of himself, "I am a free citizen, free person of this town". He declared his freedom. "You are prosecuting me and I need my rights to religion". But he didn't say it without a protest. He said... I mean, he didn't take it without a protest. He said to his people, he said, "I am a free citizen of this town". He was born in Mecca, he had the same rights they had. But they didn't understand it, they were heathens, they were idol worshipers, they didn't understand it so they denied him his rights, his freedom.

23:07 IWDM: But he took the position that he had worth, equal worth as a citizen, and he took a position that he had the freedom to pursue a decent and intelligent idea. Huh? 

23:24 IWDM: See how... See how the same thing that's granted to us in the constitution is declared by him? And when he declared it for himself as a model for all human life he declared it for all people on this earth, Muhammad the prophet. If you understand that, I give you what you can write books on. I do. If you all would just grow up. Some of you are grown up but many of you are just struggling and you look at small things and you can't take your eyes off those small things. If you would fasten your eyes to what I say and give thought to it and ponder it...

24:01 IWDM: Think on it, and look deeper into it, and relate it to what you heard in other places, in other times, in other books, you could become scholars.

24:11 IWDM: And you would be writing books just from what I give you.

24:19 IWDM: Allahu Akbar.

24:28 IWDM: So we have Sigmund Freud, another scheme of Satan. He comes and gives another pitch of a human person. How does he describe the composition and constitution and behavioral life of the human person? How did he describe it? He talks about the ego, the super ego, but he brings to the consciousness of the orchestrators, the heads and authorities in society, he brings to their consciousness a perception of human life that pleases what comes in the gospel and in the genesis. In the genesis, that man is born to sin. That he is born in the world to fall. And the gospel say, "Yes, he was born to fall, but G-d himself comes in the flesh and suffers for his sins, so that he will be reconciled with the father again." Huh? 

25:58 IWDM: So, Freud gives them something tasty, something for their own menu tastes. He gives them the libido, or the libido, whichever way you pronounce it. Libido. And how does he describe this libido? It's supposed to be in all of us. How'd he wanna describe what's working in all of us? What is our original organs? Why'd he want to describe what is our original power centers and productive centers? What is our original life? Why'd he want to do this? Why'd he wanna give us definition? Never did G-d give something to his prophets or the messenger that the devil, the Shaitan didn't conspire to produce the likes of this. Huh? 

26:56 IWDM: So what did Allah say in the Quran? Did Freud come before the Quran? No. Much after the Quran. Hundreds of years after the Quran.
