Speaking about the importance of good morals, just as we have focused on purifying the religion from innovations.

The Shaykh : And for this reason, purification is necessary to address the reality of Muslims today, which no Muslim accepts, regardless of his status or his school of jurisprudence. They are all in agreement that Muslims today have no honor; rather, they are the most humiliated, under the most humiliated of people, who are the Jews.
This is part of what concerns the purification that must, without a doubt, be clarified and established. It requires thousands of great scholars who are knowledgeable of the Book and the Sunnah and of what the righteous predecessors were upon, and who are sincere in their calling to Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He).
Then comes the role of education—peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be upon you—education in this purified Islam. Implementing this purification now, as I mentioned earlier, has begun with the signs of this awakening. However, the awakening has not yet been realized for the general Muslim public, certainly. And for some individuals, it has been realized only in some points and details that are not sufficient for the Muslim to be upon the Islam that Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) chose as a religion for all people. If the purification has not yet been realized because it is in its first steps, when will the education be realized? This requires additional time beyond the time needed to carry out the purification.
And all of this speech—and it has been somewhat long—I intended to reach through it the fact that from the reality of this purification, there is a deviation from education. I do not mean those who do not understand obedience to Allah and obedience to His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), but rather I mean those who have entered into the meaning of purification. A bad character has prevailed over many of these people, and the reason is that some purification has occurred in them, but the desired education has not occurred in them; because there are no educators there. And this is the crux of this speech.
