With Al-Hajj Abu Ja'far al-Hanbali
1) Why are we discussing this now?
Spokesmen for Islam in the West, after telling us not to reconcile to the world (e.g. don’t go to school, chuck out the TV, consider Hijrah, build a community), are now doubling back and telling us to reconcile to the world, for example:
* talking about Islam and evolution theory, and saying that they want to hear from the theologian who is also a biologist, not just the theologian
* mocking and ridiculing people who do not follow the climate
change agenda, or are skeptical of vaccines
* telling Muslims to follow the Jews and the Catholics
We see that they are making a clear distinction between religion and science? Why? This is the secular mindset.
2) The secular foundation of the US and how this affects the rest of the Anglosphere
3) How the US education system inculcates secularism
4) The Religion vs. Science Dichotomy
* Starting with the first Parliament of the World's Religions in 1893,
as pictured above, through to the hippie era, how the world
changed in 2001 and what has happened since. Many spokesmen
for Islam in the West embraced Islam in the 1960s and 1970s; how were they affected?

![Supplications From The Quran For Every Need
By Imam Muhammad Mutawalli ash-Sharawi, may Allah have mercy on him
Original video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXiqJ2Nuhzc
The four supplications are as follows:
عند الخوف تذكر حسبنا الله ونعم الوكيل
1. When one is scared, one should say, Allah is enough for us and the Best of Guardians. [Aal Imran 3:173]
These words were said by Ibrahim al-Khalil, peace be upon him, when he was thrown in the fire by the idolaters and it was also said by the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, when the people said, The people have gathered against you, so fear them... [Aal Imran 3:173]. Please see at-Tafseer al-Waseet by Imam Wahbah az-Zuhayli (Damascus, Dar al-Fikr, 1436/2015), v.1, p.261-263. One can also refer to Imam Ibn Katheers tafseer.
عندما يمكر بك تذكر وأفوض أمري الى الله أن الله بصير بالعباد
2. When one is being conspired against, one should say, I consign my destiny entirely to Allah. Truly Allah sees His slaves. [Ghafir 40:44]
These words were said by the believing man from the people of Firawn. Please read from ayah 28 to ayah 45 of Surah Ghafir.
عند طلب شئ من الدنيا تذكر ماشاء الله لا قوة الا بالله
3. When one wants something from this world, one should say, It is as Allah wills, there is no strength but in Allah. [al-Kahf 18:39]
Please see this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMHe-hmVlko
عند الغم لا اله الا انت سبحانك اني كنت من الظالمين
4. When one feels distress, one should say, There is no god but You! Glory be to You! Truly I have been one of the wrongdoers. [al-Anbiya 21:88]
Imam an-Nawawi relates in his Adhkar on the authority of Sad ibn Abi Waqqaas, may Allah be pleased with him, who said, I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, saying, I know some words than no distressed person says except that he is relieved from it, the words of my brother Yunus [Dhu Nun], may Allah bless him and grant him peace: He called out in the pitch darkness: There is no god but You! Glory be to You! Truly I have been one of the wrongdoers.
[Jeddah: Dar al-Minhaj, 1433/2012], p.222
