SaalamAlaikum
This is a simple translation from the speech that Sheikh Tariq Jameel gave when he was in Canada. This is the second part.

Beating Inferiority Complex: Tariq Jameel

We Muslims are weak in our faith. Our condition is that we can see from one eye while we are blind from the other. Even then, we can see something. And for the one who did not see Allah or Prophet Muhammed (saw) or heaven or hell. (A metaphorical example) That individual is blind with both of his eyes. He is completely blind.

Thus, if the one who can see asks the one who is blind, can you show me the straight path, improve my condition. Can a blind person ever show the straight path to the one who can see? (It is true that today we try to compete with Non Muslims in luxury instead of competing within ourselves in good actions.)

The Prophet (saw) has said (more or less), “Do not kindle your own fire by the fire of those who denied Allah.”
What’s the meaning of this? Do not seek guidance from them. They are blind. We can see. The one who can see if he is following the one who is blind, where will he go?
This individual will never reach his destination.

Every Muslim is precious. For that Muslim who is not able to find bread, he is precious in front of Allah. The value of all the Muslims in front of Allah is high. That they recognize who Allah is. They recognize who Prophet Muhammed (saw) is. They recognize the Lord of earth and sky.


As long as one Muslim is alive in this world, the Day of Judgement will not come. Because of us, Allah has raised the sky, spread the land, brings out the sun, brings out the moon, twinkling of stars, brings out the clouds, brings down rain, brings out crops from the earth, takes out milk from animals, puts in scent in flowers, brings strength to wind, changes the weather. All this is because of this Muslim who exists in this world.

Because of these Muslims the structure of the sky and earth exist, the sun and moon still shine. The day we Muslims will die. The day every Muslim will die, Allah will destroy everything on sky and earth. We do not even know about our own position. Being a Muslim is indeed a great achievement, a great success and a great honor.

The Prophet (saw) (more or less) has said, “When mention of Allah will finish on this earth, Allah will destroy this world.”

Allah will finish and level the whole creation. That there is no one to obey me, everyone else are like animals.

The ones who deny Allah:
Allah gave a simile:

“They are only like cattle…” (Al Furqan 25:44)

And then even a stricter verse

“…nay, they are even farther astray from the Path. (i.e. even worst than cattle).” (Al Furqan 25:44)

Even animals know who their Lord is but these people don’t even know the reason for their existence.
