A discussion on the Islamic awakening.

The Shaykh : Therefore, the people are in heedlessness, especially when they see the elite... and it was said long ago, "If the master of the house is beating the drum, *** then the only thing for the residents is to dance." If the elite of the people, and some of their scholars and shaykhs, do not implement this divine command, which is following the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), then the common people are even less likely to do so. As for the people now, as has become well known and famous in the current awakening of the people, in this awakening and... the people were previously in the opposite state, which is heedlessness. The awakening and heedlessness are not equal, and it is not befitting for people to be in the state of awakening as they were in the state of heedlessness. Therefore, we find, praise be to Allah, that many young people attend the mosques for congregational prayer, and the symbols of Islam are apparent on their faces, in their clothing, and in their attire. These are the sons, so the fathers must be even more eager to follow the awakening. If that happens, we will become a phenomenon that draws attention: the son is righteous and holds fast to the Shari'ah, while some of the fathers are not. We ask Allah (Mighty and Majestic) to make all the sons and fathers righteous and followers of the Sunnah of the Master of the Messengers.

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : No, he is not understanding, but if Allah wills, his intention is good. But the truth is, it may be upon Abu Layla.
