All sorts of gratitude, and we need to present this example in on how to celebrate the birth of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him and his family, as as an example and the model and a model for all the muslims in the world. On the other hand, when it comes to denouncing, we want to denounce those killers, those takfied terrorists who bombed the masks in pakistan. The muslims and they are sunnis as well, only because their only crime was that they were celebrating the a birthday of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him and his family, and they were holding these ceremonies and these events in order to commemorate this birth, this birthday, this that very dark face, this very terrorist and of hanious face, which has come back, this tumor, this cancer is tumor which has returned into the muslim world, while they still there are those muslims who face all those sufferings in order to express their love for Prophet Muhammad, but those who kill, in order to stop those people to be happy on the birthday of Prophet Muhammad, dear brothers and sisters, when it comes to any, the cultural formation of any people, any culture, there are certain cultures or certain pillars in this formation of the Cultural Heritage of a certain peoples and part and one factor of this cultural phenomenon that the people throughout history, whether they were following the abrahamic religions or even idols and matter what their thought was, even in our current age and time, at light of the various and many ideologies, they have days of happiness, they have holidays, they have days when they celebrate, and usually they have also days for sadness, when they choose days for happiness or days for sadness, they do this only based on certain events, whether historic event or. Very dramatic and significant historic event which requires to be gratified or signified or remembered, for example, the birth of a great person in the history of this people or victory in the history of this nation and or that nation. These are holidays, these are reasons to celebrate, or perhaps they had lost very significant person or leader, they, this is a reason to to hold funerals and morning and so on, and even other examples of victory, revolution and so on, this is part of a culture of any people, any nation, for us as well as a muslim nation, as muslim people, this is part of our culture, this is part of our religion and our thought and our ideology, and one of the main issues that the muslims unify upon is, for example the. Which means happy, the it is the day when the muslims are joyous, they are joyous because they have ended and concluded a month of fasting and prayers and staying up all night and and so on and so forth, we also in our history we have marvelous days, the glorious in days which we unite up im not going to go to the days where or the holidays where we do not probably agree or we have differences when it comes to the sects. From these days, which we do unify upon, are the two main days first is the birth of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him and his family, the second is the day when Prophet Muhammad was sent as messenger by god and was declared messenger by god, we want to these a holiday or a day of joy and so on, some of them they say, what do you sayid, the day . The day of birthday of prophet, but you do not, they dont go on against the National Holiday, their own National Holiday, why do they not have something against their own National Holiday . Why do they celebrate their own National Holiday . Why is this a day thats important for us . This is a day of the birth of the light, this is the muhammadin light, this is the birth of Prophet Muhammad, the son of abdullah, peace be upon him and his family. This light which began to shine. In makka, which began to shine in mecca and spread throughout, bit by bit, very honestly, and also with trustworthiness, with all values, with all high ethical values and moraless and purity, and humanity and dignity, until muhammad, the son of abdullah, began, became for the people of mekka, and all those know mekka, all those know the people of mecca. He was considered the trustworthy and the honest, the the perfect human being, the great human being, and who had absolutely no way where he could be denounced in any way or criticized in any way, and after 40 years from his birth, then the light that was sent on the day of mabad, which was the day that he was sent as messenger, this was how this light was spread out throughout and abroad. To all the arab peninsula, to the rest of the world, to the region from that time until the end of time, the birth which imam god bless his soul, says this b, the one Prophet Muhammad was sent as messenger, this is the most glorious day in existence, in the existence of humanity, and this also can be analyzed. This birth can be considered just the existence in this life, this mortal life that was always an extension of human beings and the sons of adam, and then we had prophecy, and we had the messengers and everything that we had also from the transformation that we saw in the nation of islam, do we not have a right as nation, as muslims to be joyous on the day of his birthday. This birth, which based on which we the prophecy, prophets job as messenger and the fact that the quran was sent to the heart of Prophet Muhammad, and the establishment and the founding of this nation and the salvation of humanity until the end of time, until judgment day, isnt it a right for us to transform this day into a day of joy for all. Isnt it, its not only a right, it is a duty, isnt it not a responsibility, a duty, we must for the sake of our generations, for the sake of our youth, and we also need to express the gratitude for this blessing, this marvelous divine blessing and this god sent from god, this gift, we need to do this, this is something we must do, who come and prohibit this these celebrations and these this this occasion, they have absolutely no legitimacy in fiq or jurisdiction or in islam in anything when it comes to discussing this issue when we discuss them, the shirics are unanimously agree that there we can hold these celebrations and the majority of the sunni clerics as well also agree that this is. Is is something that is that needs to be done and there needs to be ceremonies and many words have been said, much has been said on this issue, we are called to take head of this occasion, these two very significant days, but at least at least on the birthday of Prophet Muhammad, and i call every on everyone here in lebanon, our brothers and our sisters of course it is becoming even better year by year, but let us be honest, let us be honest, we we are ready in the days of of sadness, and the days of grief, we know what that means, we know what it means to cry, we know what it means to hold these morning ceremonies, it has become part of our identity, part of our historic and ideology, this is a good thing, this is lotted, this is praised, but also we need to have days of joy, we need to have days when we are happy, and we need to have days that are celebratory, and we need to celebrate as well, and the most glorious day that we need to take as a day of joy, is the day of the birthday of . The most glorious and the greatest prophet of all time, and so therefore always in the upcoming years, god willing, all brothers and sisters, all those who are responsible, all those who are here, need to plan for this ceremony and to say that it needs to be spread, and we need to have very high level of celebrations on various differences, Different Levels or methods and we need we have a whole week where imam god bless his soul, of course there is maybe a difference when it comes to the some say he was born on 12th of first rabia and others say 17th of rabiah, many of the muslims consider its 12th of awwal and let we can what imam khu did, he took this difference and transformed it into opportunity for unity, he made it a whole week, a week of unity, a week of muslim unity, from 12th of to 17. And we need to have also plan for the upcoming years how we can make this occasion and occasion of of joy and happiness and celebrations. This is one thing on the other issue is when in the past years usually i revise what i did what i said in the year before so i can in the last year actually we one of the slogans that we had in the celebration and this occasion was mercy was the fact that Prophet Muhammad was sent as a mercy to mankind i spoke about this in detail, i spoke about the how how we have indicators of mercy and how Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him and his family, how he was a mercy to mankind, and we also spoke about the transformations, the ideological transformations, the cultural transformations, the ethical transformations, the political military and transformations that occurred after Prophet Muhammad was sent. As messenger with the blessings of his existence and his presence in the arab peninsula. I do not want to repeat myself, but on the second issue, i just want to say very concisely on the issue of our celebration this year, we took the slogan of, which is god has completed his light and his guidance. This is based on the verse of Prophet Muhammad in two verses, actually of the whole. God almighty says that they want to extinguish god light, while god almighty stresses that he will complete and send his guide and his light and he is the one who sent his messenger with righteousness in order to show him to all religion to complete the religion. Even if the infidels do not accept and are upset, another verse says, they want to extinguish gods light, there are different analysis that they said that there is very, if you there is some difference when it comes to one letter that changes maybe the meaning sometime of the verses, but they want with their words, the verse says that they want to extinguish gods light with their words. But no, god insisted that he will complete this message and he will send his light that it has already been done, he has already sent his life, even if they are not happy with this, he is the one who sent his prophet with righteousness to spread this righteousness throughout his religion, throughout gods religion, throughout humanity, it is the same verse approximately in the two surah, but there are some slight differences, i made some analysis, some different, but in light of these verses, first of all, what do we mean by the light, gods light, it is the light that we use in order to light the darkness, the darkness of jahala, the darkness of ignorance, the darkness of being a loss, the darkness of sedition, the darkness of being a state of of perverseness, the state of not being. Concluding light was Prophet Muhammad, the main idols, the main models, the exemplar figures are the lights of god, the books from god almighty are light, gods light as well, and it was concluded by the holy quran, the messages that were sent, the abraham messages from all the ideology, all the teachings, all the the rules and the laws and the jurisdiction are gods light. And it was finalized by islam, by true muhammadian islam, it the light of god is religion, his religion, his book, his prophets, his messengers, so therefore when we come and we speak and we we salute Prophet Muhammad, we say, peace be upon you, dear light in these earths, the light of god on this earth, the light of god and the earth. Peace be upon you, the light that we use in order to guide us in the darkness, the quran itself is also considered as light, the tarat is the light, the bible is the is the light as well, these are the lights that are sent by god almighty, and god almighty has taken a vow in these verses and other verses as well, he has taken the vow to complete this light and with this to preserve the light as well, to make sure that this light is completed and is preserved, and with this there is a promise, divine promise, and also a miracle of a futuristic forshadowing, this is a miracle, this is something that adds to the miracles also of the holy quran and Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him and his. Since he speaks about the future, he says very decisively that this will be preserved, and when we come back to this, dear brothers and sisters, god almighty says in the two verses, they say they, he says, they want to extinguish the lights, they want to stop this light, they want to turn this off, they this means that this will continue even what has happened with the previous prophets, all those past prophets, all those in their face, all those confronted them, they wanted to extinguish gods light, and those confronted Prophet Muhammad as well, and tried to stop and they wanted to extinguish that light, and this continues today, with those who follow satan, those who are the enemies of god, those who are not going by the righteous path, those were on the path of vice, they want, with through this verse, we can see that god almighty forshadowed that this will continue and told us that this will continue with this. Confrontation, they attempt, they will, they have a will to extinguish this light, to drown the people, to take them down to darkness, to move them away from humane instinct, from the true human values and qualities, everything that he has dignified those, the sons of adam, to make them at the level of animals and this isnt this what is happening, it is happened also in history, but today, in light of recent recent history and this age and time, this era when we see that there are banners being helped even enforce the sexual perverses, and when we see that there is a phenomenon, when there are human dogs, the human cows, human pigs, god and his prophets, they. Wanted the human being to be at the highest stature, a very high moral level, very noble status, but they want the human being to be dog or a cow or a pig, that they are living to the slowly level of a creature, isnt this a war against the light of god almighty . How would they try to extinguish gods light, they want . To extinguish it with their with their mouths, with their with their, there are two explanations for this, there is one known explanation, especially for the older scholars, they say that god almighty has considered this and made it as similar, similar to someone who wants to stop the lamp, for example, extinguish the light, they blow on it, likely blow a candle to extinguish it, just turn it off, and they thought that perhaps though this blow on this that they want to extinguish the light of the sun or and how can how can you extinguish the light of the sun . This is impossible, but god almighty use this in order to ridicule those who attempt and they want to try to extinguish gods light. This is a wellknown and old explanation of these verses, but theres another extinguish, theres another analysis and explanation, which is now very obvious today in the transformations and the Telecom Revolution and and our agent time, that they want to attempt to extinguish gods light with their mouths, that is with the Media Campaigns, with this. Warfare, with this media warfare, with all the methods of media warfare, which were talk, call today, the soft war, this is what we are calling now, and this this time and those analysts and those callerers say that this soft war or the media war is more dangerous and even more threatening than the fighting and the military wars and this is true, this is what we see today, we are witnessing this, today there are nations that. Were able to confront military wars and were able to stand and and overcome these, but facing these soft wars, saving these media, facing these media wars, they were a loss, they were weakened, they were disintegrated, they was rift among them, and what the arrogant tyrants could not realize, through the military invasions and their armed wars, they were able to realize. This through their media and through their software, but in any case if this analysis is what is really behind this verse, this glorious verse, this is also a new witness to the fact that the quran is and has depths beyond what we read and has meanings that show more and more with the development of gods with the development the human. With the development of humans minds, with the development of even generations and time and every generation would perhaps explore and discover new meaning that was not there with the previous generations, dear brothers and sisters, very justly those confronting Prophet Muhammad, those from the beginning, they launched a media war, a Media Campaign a very atrocious, soft war, a dangerous soft war. Against Prophet Muhammad, against his prophecy, against his message and his words. Of course, since he always spoke with logic, they went straight as they are doing today, they went to those only accusations to curses, to distorting facts and distorting the personality, trying attempting to defame, trying to move the people from his words, from his. From his teachings, they called him a magician, they called him a liar, and for 40 years, they would not find one single lie, they called them even mad, they accused him of madness, and they said that he steals his words from other writers and poets and they said that he was even taken by the jin, he was embodied by the jin and he is attempting to have superiority and authority and he wants to take money and he, therefore they were very long when they called them and said we will make you king among us, we will make you the richest, and they continued with these on this path, this path of the Media Campaign, of course when we come and we speak about this Media Campaign, the soft war, this does not mean that they stopped the other wars, no, but this verse indicates that the. There is something that is more dangerous than killing, that killing and displacement and forcing wars and forcing blockades, as we saw what happened as as this was enforced upon the first muslims, the first group of muslims for 23 years, from the for 23 years since he was declared as a messenger, but of course the war of the tongue, the war of ritoric was even harsh. And this continues until today, the
