My brothers and sisters, today, 9 o'clock in the morning, we had 60 students and 10 teachers. From the Hildale Charter School of East Hampton. All Christians, some Jews, all white. I think maybe a couple of them were probably Spanish or Sontobalahan. And they came here, they sat here. I'm always amazed at the level of adab that there is in these people. They all sat, they insisted on sitting on the ground. All of them sat on the ground, including the teachers. We told the teachers, if you want to sit on the chairs, most welcome. They all sort of sat on the floor. Everyone had covered. And absolutely still, not moving, not fidgeting. These are all maybe 9 years up to about 15 or so. No? Both of us were here, everyone. Completely wrapped attention. So anyway, I spoke to them about Islam and so on. And then they said questions. So they asked various questions. They asked about the funerals. How is it done in Islam? They asked about, is there a sabbath, a day of rest? And so on, so on. I won't tell you all the questions and all the answers. But one question which really hit me in the heart. One kid asked me, that kid must be maximum maybe 8 years old. He tells me, what gives you the greatest joy? A jeep. 8 year old child. He says, what gives you the greatest joy? So I said, reading and reciting the Kalam of Allah. This gives me the greatest joy. Because then I feel closest to Allah. That's the next question he asked me. He said, what makes you feel closest to God? I said, this makes me feel closest to Allah, reading and reciting the Kalam of Allah. We should really reflect. And these are all completely, they have no exposure to Islam. Whatever they are hearing about Islam, you know what they are hearing or what they would be hearing in the public media and so on. So I say to you and myself, see the glory and magnificence from the Kalam of Allah. See how this sort of the number for example, Allah swt, it starts with a question, what is all this confusion? What are they asking? What are they arguing about? And they are arguing about Nabai-il-Hazib, the great announcement, the great day of judgment. And then Allah swt, series of ayats from Alam Najal, Lardha, Mihadha all the way to where Allah swt starts talking about the Akhira. So that whole series of ayats have to do with this dunya. Things which we see on a daily basis. Allah says the night for sleep, Allah gave you sleep, the day for to earn your living. Allah sends rain from the heavens and your crops grow and so on. Daily things which we see on a daily basis, which we ignore mostly because we see it every day, it doesn't strike us, we don't reflect. But Allah swt is pointing those things out as His signs. And then Allah swt talks about the yarat. Inna yawmal fasli kaana miqaata, yawma yunfa qufis suri fata toona afwaaja. Fawti hati samaw, fa kaana abuwaaba, like doors. Allah will open. I don't know how many of you remember I mentioned a book called Hyperspace by Michio Kagu. He's written the book. In that he argues, he says that when you look at this expansion theory which is called the Big Bang, which fundamentally basically the theory says that there was a big explosion as a result of which planets were created and they are moving away, expanding away from that center. And this expansion will continue until they run out of the original energy which was there to make them expand and then they will come together, contract. And the logical reasoning is that when they come to contract they will all come together and they will like a black hole become one and complete annihilation. Michio Kagu says the only way to escape that annihilation is to find a way of going out of this dimension, finding doors to leave this dimension. And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala used the word door. Kaana abuwaaba.
