Become a stranger!
For a minute, become a stranger,
Walk with me this path,
Come along with me,
Because we're going to go to the city of Madinah,
And we're going to walk with them!
According to the way they did things, and not according to the way we do things.
And when you walk this path, you're going to see something extraordinary.
But let me tell you,
At the end of this path...you will become a stranger!
But walk this path...because you want to become a stranger.
You do not want to be one of the people who just follows like sheep,to the slaughter house!
You want to know,
You want to understand the things, the way they are!
So we're going to walk this path, and we are going to start seeing.

And what do we see? With this matters of the Gold Dinar,
We see that the people in Madinah were free to choose their medium of exchange!
In fact, they did not use Gold and Silver,
Neither did the governor of Madinah say that the currency of Madinah is the gold Dinar,
They didn't say that!
So, you will not find in any Hadith, that the legal tender of Madinah was the gold Dinar!
You won't find it anywhere!
You don't need to make the gold Dinar as the legal tender,
Because legal tender is in itself...wrong!
Whether the legal tender is paper money,
Which is ridiculous robbery of a society of people that cannot see beyond their nose the complete corruption by means of using anything else, copper, or whatever...
Is no!
Because what the people in Madinah said is that, trading are free!
That the people are free to choose!
Because trading is mutual consent!
And Allah has made trading halal!
And this is good for the people...And this is what people in Madinah established!
With all clarity.
And we use the Dinar and the Dirham.

And Allah didn't mention paper,
He mentioned the Gold Dinar and the silver Dirham!
In Quran!
It means that Allah s.w.t through the revelation...wanted to give meaning to these two words,
And that's why Ibn Khaldun says, you cannot change the weight of the gold Dinar,
You cannot say it is whatever I choose for it to be,
No, the gold Dinar is a Mithqal, it is 4.25 g...you cannot change that!
And the Dirham, the weight of the Dirham...is derived from the weight of the Mithqal,
And this is known as standard of Umar al-Khattab.

Any law that says that you are not free to choose the Dinar and the Dirham,
Are corruptions of the land,
And the system you have today is a system of theft,
Imposed by foreigners!
By the kuffar that wanted to destroy Islam,
Because they want to destroy the world,
Because they have no wisdom,
Because they're corrupters!

But I don't care what the kuffar do,
Because whatever the kuffar do, is a strength for us!
What I care is what the Muslims do,
What I care is that Muslims have Islamize this very system of corruption!

If the Gold Dinar is the currency of the Muslims, than why isn't anybody talking about this matter?
Why has this matter go in silence?
Because if they say yes to the Gold Dinar, they have to explain why for all this time, they haven't said anything at all!
Because the have to explain why they accepted the use of this corrupt system!
To pay Zakat.
And they have no words for it!

The system is a tool for control,for destruction!
Its what guarantees that Islam cannot be established in a land!
It imposes control.
A control that is based on not seeing anything at all.
Because your eyes are closed,and you cannot see,
That this is paper!
Worthless pieces of paper!
With a power that continues taxing you forever.
Is a perpetual way of robbing.

We're blind!
We're not teaching the Muamalat!
We're following the majority of mankind!
And use Islam as a marketing tool!

Because they have no knowledge...and no fear.
Because if you don't have taqwa, you don't have knowledge...and if you don't have knowledge, what are you doing?
All these people are blind...blind!
Their thinking is tubular...
The strangers are the people who is struggling to put something right.
They're struggling!
The stranger in the Hadith is like going away...not physically...but in your head!
You have to move away from what people are saying,
You have to move away from business as usual.

If you want Islam, you have to immerse yourself inside Islam!
Not inside the culture of Islam.
Islam is different...knowledge is different.
And you don't build knowledge from gathered information.

The sufis say, this is your prison,
Everything that you know is your prison!
Evrything that you are is your prison!
Everything that you own is your prison!
Everything that you have is your prison!
Everything that is your attribute is your prison!
The sufis say...abandon your attribute,
Because when you abandon your attribute...you can borrow His.
When you become an absolute slave...you become free!
When you have totally erased yourself...you start to know!

When you say La', completely La' to including yourself,
Then you have knowledge!
And this knowledge is painful...its not easy!
Because this knowledge won't let you rest!
It will bother you, it will unsettle you...Because Taqwa unsettles you!

Nobody with knowledge goes back and say, "I have done it!"
That is the ignorant!
Because people with the highest knowledge they say, "I'm not good enough!"
This on the contrary will make you struggle...with yourself first!
This is knowledge...you will become a stranger!
You will become a stranger to yourself!
And this is what this matter is about.
