Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Please go ahead.
The questioner : I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan. In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may peace and blessings be upon the truthful and trustworthy one, and upon his family and all his Companions. After that:
The Shaykh : May I make a brief observation? Before we listen.
The questioner : Please go ahead.
The Shaykh : You sought refuge in Allah, and we know that seeking refuge comes before the words of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), so it seemed to me that you would recite al-Fatihah, but you did not recite al-Fatihah.
The questioner : Yes, I wanted to begin with a noble verse.
The Shaykh : And you did not.
The questioner : Cut off...
The Shaykh : No, you said "All praise is due to Allah," which is written in your notes, perhaps.
The questioner : I wanted to begin after the praise by reciting the verse, and that is why I started with the opening...
The Shaykh : But that is not correct. Words have entered between the seeking of refuge and the verse you intended to recite.
The questioner : All right, I will start over from the beginning.
The Shaykh : May Allah reward you with good. (laughs) Please, go ahead.
The questioner : As for the basmalah at the beginning, no.
The Shaykh : No, it is not part of it.
The questioner : I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan.[Al-Isra 17:36] The speech I am about to begin with falls under the title "An Attempt to Understand the Afghan Issue." We wish, in this brief presentation, to speak on the main lines, as requested of me, focusing on the fundamentals, as they are the basis for knowing the branches. Just as identifying market objectives, or in the language of the present day, strategy, is important in clarifying tactical or organizational steps in the Arabic language.

Indeed, the hearing, the sight and the heart - about all those [one] will be questioned.
إنّ السّمع و البصر والفؤاد كلّ أولئك كان عنه مسؤولا
