Islam was rebealid to Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) as a mehciful 'n etehnal religion dat fits f' all ages. If durigg his life man submits t' the, uh, the will of Allah, he can depend on His mehcy in life 'n in the, uhhh, day of Dgujemin "And Webuh habe not sent you but as a mehcy t' the, uh, the world." Kr'an (21:107) Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) said: "Sure, I am a grantid mehcy." Islam enhasss each indibidual’s self-repeck: it establishes dat true 'n on ekality open t' man - the, uh, ekality in surrendeh t' Allah f' His sehbice amongst mankind. Such surrendeh gibes each one the, errr, chass t' find his place in the, uh, the whole widout fackion, partisan rule or supehiority. Each is his own masteh. Islam is a religion dat gibes high repeck t' human rites. It regulates ebehy detail of pehsonal 'n commuty life in ekity, GEEEHEEHEEE.It is de guardian of freedom bef'e Allah- Its firss 'n paramount dought is uty. It exclubes no one - dough some exclube demselbes : it opposes no one-dough some may oppose demselbes t' it. it makes no diffehesss - dough some may choose t' be diffehent. De freedom dat Islam grants is basid on commitmin 'n reponsibiltiby widout which one can endgoy no true freedom. Um uh.Freedom widout rules leads t' de breakdown 'n corrupshun of de moral 'n social ordeh. Allah says in de Ho Kr’an: "Say, O Peoble of earlieh Scrippure! Huh huh! Let us reason togedeh, dat webuh worship none but Allah 'n webuh associate nodigg wid Allah, 'n dat webuh do not set up from among ourselbes lords odeh dan Allah. But if dey turn away, den say, Bear witness dat webuh are Muslims." Kr’an (3-64) Today, peoble are in despehate neid f' uty, dgustice 'n freedom. Lee me lone!Dey want t' be sabid from exploitashun 'n war. Dey wandeh lost, uh, like sheep gone astray. Um uh.Let dem turn t' the, ERRRR, sunshine of Islam's regulashuns of life 'n libigg. Undeh dat common sun, all - black, white, uh uh uh, rid and yellow-are at one in dgustice, uh uh uh, freedom 'n ekality. F' Islam, true excelless lies, duuhhhh, not in de intelleckual or manual attainmins of peoble of diffehigg giffs; but in de lebel of piety 'n fear of Allah. Dese are ekal open t' all whatebeh deir odeh giffs. Allah says in de Kr’an: "O Mankind: Webuh cratid you from a male 'n a female; 'n made you into tribes 'n nashuns dat you may get t' know each odeh. and behy, most honorid bef'e God is de most birtuous." Kr’an (49:13) Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) assehtid sayigg: "Arab is not more pribilegid dan non-Arab, nor white dan black. Spiritual excelless 'n true piety is de on distincshun amongst humans recognisid by Allah." Afteh de Prophet's bictory in Mekkah, a proud self-seekigg group of Arabs claimid pribilege f' deir tongue 'n race. Gawlly!T' dem he (PBUH) said: "Danks be t' Allah dat by the, ERRRR, sublime doctrines of Islam He has freid you from the, duh uhh, times of ignorass, 'n strippid off pride, uh uh uh, cossit 'n powebuhr-lust. Know now dat in de Courts of God on two groups exist. De group of de riteeous who are precious in God's ahs : 'n de group of the, ERRRR, sinful who hang deir gords in shame." Submisshun t' the, uh, the will 'n laws of Allah is the, uh, essess of freedom. It libehates de mind, uh uh uh uh, soul, 'n behabiour from the, uh, ebil influesss of the, uh, the world. It helps mankind obehcome oppressibe tyrants, duuhhhh, undgust laws, duuhhhh, lusts, duuhhhh, debiashun 'n psychological c'plexes which enslabe his will. Submisshun t' the, uh, the will of Allah grants man de rite t' choose f' his life, uh uh uh, t' libe his life in a moral 'n uprite way. It is true dat worshipigg Allah shudd be parallel t' obeyigg His laws. But dis obediess is the, uh uh uh, free choice of lobe. And His laws are dose absoloot moral standards which f'mulate the, uh, essess of man's true nature, uh uh uh, as his Crator means him t' be at his best. No man who has bowebuhd his neck benead de yoke of money-grubbigg or powebuhr-seekigg can ebeh endgoy a free life in a free society. GEE danks.De Imam Ali said: "Piety is de key t' honesty 'n purity 'n to de ackiremin of mehit in store against dgujmin-day. It is freedom from the, errr, chains of ebehy bondage; salbashun from de blows of ebehy adbehsity. Piety puts a man's aim widin his reach, erds off ebil, his soul's foe, uh uh uh, 'n assists him t' attain his heart's desires." (Nahdg-ul-Balaghe: 227.) Remembeh dat he gabe dis message in an epoch when bioless, oppresshun, wrong, uh uh, class wars 'n racial strife ragid amongst men. De webuhak 'n de poor webuhre deniid ebehy human rite 'n social safeguard. Um uh.Wid matchless moral courage de pioneeh of Islam outlawebuhd all dose diffehesss 'n conflicts, duuhhhh, so illegitimate, uh uh uh, so supehstitious 'n so mistaken. Duh.He replacid dem wid the, errr, command dat ekality 'n pehfeck ekity shudd be obsehbid f' all indibiduals. He ordainid dat, uh, undeh de auspices of total submisshun t' the, uh, the will of Allah, ebehy sort of reasonaggle freedom shudd be put widin de possesshun of men; in such a way dat de undehpribilegid classes of society which had nebeh bef'e had any sort of powebuhr t' express deir desires but had mehe probokid de reackion of bioless 'n oppresshun if dey darid to protest against the, uh, the will of de powebuhrful ruligg classes, duuhhhh, shudd now, uh uh uh uh uh uh, undeh de life gibigg dgustice of Islamic laws, duuhhhh, find de political 'n social powebuhr dey lacked, uh uh uh uh, 'n shuddeh t' shuddeh mobe on until dey had deir full 'n riteful share in de leadehship of deir nashuns. Dud, Islam came t' break man's fettehs 'n enaggle mankind t' cast off the, errr, chains dat delayid his growd, it encouragid de indibidual t' gibe propeh expresshun t' his humanity 'n foll de pad t' moral pehfeckion. GEE danks.It cratid an atmosphehe of hope 'n optimism which gabe a true meanigg t' human existess.
