Don’t squander your life

Auto-generated transcript:My brothers and sisters, I want you to listen very carefully. Because every civilizational time in history, there has been a center of the civilization. There has been some city, some place which has been the center of civilization. 2000 years ago, it was Rome. That's why in the English language they say all roads lead to Rome. Because Rome was the center of civilization. Most powerful, the most wealthy. Effectively one city, I mean it was a nation, but effectively one city. And then that changed as the centuries passed. And it became statistical. And then it went to the Sassanian Empire. And then it went to, not saying this in chronological order, but different ways. And then it went to Constantinople. Then later it became Istanbul. Then it was Agra and Delhi. And then it was London. And today it is America. Post Second World War, it is America. The easiest way to check that is go to any country in the world and see the number of people standing in Rota America embassies wanting visas. Compare that with the embassy of any other country. It's not even a comparison. Not even a comparison. And then come to America. And go to the embassies of your countries here. And see how many Americans are standing there in line wanting to get Pakistani citizenship or Indian citizenship or Somali citizenship or Iraqi citizenship and so on. Right? Find me one American citizen who wants to become a Pakistani. There's a message, right? There's a message. You came here voluntarily. Nobody brought you here in chains. You came here voluntarily. Many of you came here after great struggle. Why? Because of the opportunity that this country presents. And no exaggeration. There is no country in the world which comes even close. No country. No white man's country. No black man's country. No brown man's country. No country. No African country. No Asian country. No European country which comes even close to the level of opportunity that this country has. Not even close. I have traveled the world. I have lived in the world. So I'm talking from experience. I'm not telling you, talking through my hat. No country even comes close. The second issue, second thing about this country is in terms of personal freedoms. Again, I can probably say this safely, that no country gives you as much personal freedom as America gives you. In every way. Freedom of worship. Freedom to dress the way you want to dress. Freedom to eat the food you want to eat. Freedom to go to the schools you want to go to. Freedom to do whatever you want. No other country. We have this masjid here. I can stand on the mimbar. Sheikh can stand on the mimbar and give any khuda we want. The U.S. government does not regulate it. The U.S. government does not stop it. The U.S. government does not give us a standard khutba to be read. Nothing. And as long as I don't stand there and he doesn't stand here, and as long as we are not promoting violence and rebellion and revolution, no problem. You can say whatever you want. No country in the world gives you, believe me, no country in the world gives you that level of freedom. This is what has happened in compromising theождения. That beneficial city is being reshuffled, is being settled and has such an inequitable nature, that we never try and Fling it again, even if it is an amphitheater, we have never, and this is an example because It exists in them. They have faced such a need. nobody will stop them, nothing. In Rabak, these universities, they have a director of spiritual affairs, under whom they employ chaplains, and the chaplains are paid salaries. Right? They give you a room for the chaplaincy, they give you a room at the chaplain's office. For prayers for Muslim students, they give you a place for Jummah if you want the place for Jummah. And if you say, I want the place for Jummah, they give you the place, they go and buy the sunjadas. They go and buy the prayer bags. Matching prayer bags. In Springfield College, the director of spiritual affairs, David Monkman, he comes, he buys the whole stuff and he shows me his prayer bags. He says, Mr. Shaikh, is this okay? I say, Wallahi, is it okay? They buy it. In Ramadan, they provide suhoor and iftar for the students. The college does it. And then in Ramadan, the college hosts a Ramadan evening at the expense of the college, public function. You can take 200 people and go there, the college pays for it. No country in the world, no country in the world, no country in the world, no country in the world, no country in the world, believe me, take my word for it.No country in the world. You can worship who you want. You can dress the way you want. I go to public function. You know how I dress, right? I go to public functions. They invite me. The colleges invite me to speak at their commencement and deliver the benediction and deliver the reflection every year. Now, they know who I am. They know how I dress when I go to public functions. To the universities, the doctors are accepted. I just said in in my speech last time, the nationalism. Now, I don't have family. We are very close. They hold us here and they hold us a 애.."
