Hello, right now we are at Hyde Park in London, UK.

In Hyde Park, there is a place called

Speaker's Corner where people come on Sundays to speak and discuss various topics. Today, we
are here on a Friday, and there is no discussion happening here. We thought we could learn
something and gain some understanding by sitting here.

What is this place? It's a ground where people gather, and there is some construction happening
in Hyde Park. There is a flag or banner erected, and some function or event is being prepared.
Maybe they are constructing something for a function. We are sitting here with Sheikh Sahib,
hoping to learn something valuable. If Sheikh Sahib has any good thoughts or something to
share, we are open to it.

In reality, whenever you come back from your country, the issue of what is halal and haram
comes up. Halal and haram are about what is permissible and forbidden in Islam. I, for example,
fly from Pakistan to the UK, where I get food on the plane, including meat. All sorts of meat are
available: beef, buffalo, chicken, and even pork. Cattle are animals like cows, buffaloes, and
goats that people eat. Cattle are consumed by people all over the world, whether in non-Muslim
countries or Muslim countries.

Now, it surprises me that Allah has allowed this in the Quran. Allah has made cattle halal. Cattle
include cows, buffaloes, goats, and even camels. But within the cattles, the meat of the pig is
haram. Cattle are animals that Allah has created, and people eat them. Allah has made their meat
halal. However, the meat inside the pig is haram.

So, when we find out that these animals are halal, we eat everything from these animals, not just the
meat. We eat things like the tongue, the feet, and even the tail. We consume everything except the
prohibited parts. Allah has made this halal, and we eat it. The meat, as well as other things like the skin
and fat, are utilized.

So, what did Allah do? He declared the meat of the pig (swine) as haram. Now, about its skin and fat—
whether to wear a jacket made from its fat or use its fat for various purposes—there is no harm. Its skin
can be used, and various items can be made from it. There is nothing inherently forbidden in using the
skin of the pig.

As for eating the meat, it is considered haram. If it is not permissible to raise pigs, the animal itself was
created by Allah. You may raise a horse, a rabbit, or even a donkey, but pigs are prohibited from being
raised. Why? Because raising pigs is explicitly prohibited. Pigs are considered impure, and there is
animosity towards them. The animal is created by Allah, and there are various creatures in the entire
creation that humans have not even seen.

"Under the sea, there are numerous creatures, and there are countless animals in the world.

Animals in the present days, animals in ancient times—these are things you may not even be
aware of. It's a fascinating and seemingly irrelevant topic, but wherever you go in the world,
there are animals, cattle. Animals and cattle are distinct terms in English. In Urdu, animals are
referred to as 'janwar,' and 'maweshi' is a term specifically used for animals that humans
consume. The term 'janwar' is also used in Arabic, while another term for it is 'an'am.' Another
word is 'dabba,' and it is used when Allah emphasizes His creation, like lions, elephants—large
creatures of all kinds. Every type of creature is called 'daabbah,' and it is referred to as 'an'am' or
'maweshi.'

Surah Al-An'am (Chapter 6, Verse 6) mentions these animals, and Allah declares them
permissible. Now, think about it—these are halal animals. Will you not sacrifice them? Yes, they
are halal.

Now, wherever people go in the world, those who are roaming around are eating these same
animals. They are consuming these animals everywhere they go. These are the same animals that
people are eating—cattle."

What happened, sir? What happened is that when Allah Almighty informed you that this is
permissible, then whatever is permissible, you make it into food, and we call it food. And
regarding drinking, He also mentioned about it. It means intoxication, which is wine; Allah is
saying that in it, there is both benefit and harm. So, it is evident that if you call it wine in Urdu,
in Urdu we call it "sharab," and in Urdu, we say drinking wine.

And He has also informed about drinking that those substances which are like drugs, intoxicants,
or addictive substances, Allah has not declared them as forbidden. There is both harm and
benefit in them. If doctors, from a medical point of view, prescribe drugs to balance mental
imbalances, Allah has made it permissible. And similarly, it is a kind of intoxication. If you are
using it for addiction or to unbalance yourself, then it will be forbidden because it is an impure
act of Satan. Allah has not declared it forbidden; Allah has permitted its use. It is used inside
humans for treating diseases. When you become unconscious, drugs are given to you, which the
poor people, who have psychological disorders or mental illnesses, are given to set them right.
They are given substances to balance them so that they can become balanced.

Now, you remember two things: eating and drinking. You eat halal food, which Allah has made
permissible worldwide, except for swine's meat, and you drink not wine, which Allah has made
permissible for drinking. You drink fruit juices. When you eat or drink, remember to say,
"Bismillah," and invoke Allah's name. Whenever you consume anything, read or say: "Bismillah
al-Rahman al-Rahim" or "Allahu Akbar." I don't know what people read; they read Surah Shura,
verses 78, 79, 80. Now, the connection I made with these verses, you people invoke the name of
Allah. Just as there is a goat, say "Bismillah," "Allahu Akbar." What happened, sir? Do not eat
anything other than the name of Allah. Eleventh Sharif, Tenth Sharif, are eating Imam Hussain's
name. This is what you are eating.

"Consuming food in the name of someone other than Allah, someone passes away. Who are
these people who pass away? And then, there is uncertainty about who passes away, so it
becomes the fortieth day. This is what happens when consuming food in the name of someone.
Then, the text says, 'And then, they are consuming food in the name of someone other than
Allah.' So now, in reality, Allah has said that he the one who feed us'

He is the one who created us. Ibrahim is praying, saying, 'Allah, You are the one who created
me.' Allah mentions that Ibrahim is saying, 'Allah, You are the one who created me.The same is
the one who created me, and the same is the one who guides. Understand that Allah is Allah. He,
the Almighty, has told in the signs that the same is the one whom I have submitted to, as Ibrahim
(peace be upon him) is saying. He is the one who guides. So you should know that guidance
comes only from Him. No human can give it. Allah says ahead.

The same is His essence, the same is He, and He is called by the name "Almighty." He is the one
who feeds us. What has He said? "Lawful." In Pakistan here, and in England, what have they
eaten? Lawful. If it's lawful, Allah says, then feeds us. I have understood what to eat, how to eat,
and what to drink. Allah has made it clear in the commandments what to eat and drink..

So, Is Allah feeding you wine? Or is he feeding you with pigs meat? You've understood now,
right? Now in the world, they are going on ships and planes, time after time, first class, business
class, what they are eating while stuck there is lawful. Useless talk, and they are eating the food
with someone else's name then eating someone else's named food. So here, Allah is saying, He
feeds us, and He puts it forth.

So, what is lawful, Allah has made lawful, I consume. I travel, I have been to Canada, America,
England, and now I will go to Europe. I eat only what Allah has made lawful. So, Allah says, He
eats it, He puts it forth. So, He is open, He puts it forth. So, I eat what He has made lawful, so He
is open, He puts it forth. So, I eat what He has made lawful.

When I fall ill, and when He makes me ill, He is the one who gives me healing. Whose prayer is
this? It is the prayer of Ibrahim (peace be upon him). Ibrahim (peace be upon him) is saying that
He is the one who eats and puts forth. So, I know what lawful thing I am eating, and He is open,
He puts it forth. He is the one who drinks and puts forth.

Now, see, there it is mentioned in the Quran that messengers came to the place of Lut (peace be
upon him). First, messengers came to Ibrahim (peace be upon him). They inform that
messengers, meaning angels, come to them. The meaning of "messenger" is an envoy, and the
meaning of "apostle" is angels who come, giving their message. They came to destroy Lut (peace
be upon him).

So, when they come, when they come to them, when they come to their place, they say that we,
like Lut (peace be upon him), understand Ibrahim (peace be upon him). When messengers come
in the Quran, angels, they are in human form. So, they understand that humans go.

They bring the meat, whether it's from a cow or a goat, slaughtered and prepared. So, they had
gone there, and they had recited "Bismillah" before taking it. What they bring, having recited
"Bismillah" and made it lawful, they write it down. If "Bismillah" is recited first and it is made
lawful, nothing is written. Only the slaughtered meat is coming, so understand this. It is
mentioned in the Quran that the remembrance of Allah is written, then it is written in the Quran
that when you enter the houses of the Prophet, do not sit there waiting for the food. There, the
food is being prepared, and "Bismillah" is being recited. Are there Quranic verses about this?
That when you enter the Prophet's house, do not sit waiting for the food and do not engage in
such talks that are behind the curtains. No such mention is there in the Quran that Jews are trying
to tell that Pakistan is a Muslim country. There, the meat of the animal is lawful, but it is not
known why and how it is lawful. Brother, how does it feel there, who is doing it, who is
watching while slaughtering? In Pakistan, don't cut with a lie, nobody has seen it, nobody has
seen anything. Don't say something without seeing. Go there and see; go to the butcher and see
who is watching.

He has no idea what is written in the Quran; you yourself don't know what is written in the
Quran. A Mullah who wears a turban, grows a long beard, and bends down in front of him, you
don't even know who he is. They themselves lie, considering him a liar too. They consider him
false, while he is aware of the truth. Has he told why it became forbidden, sir? Why did it
become forbidden? What does the Quranic verse say? Changing from one country to another
makes it forbidden. The same food that Allah has made lawful, they brought it from there, and
when they bring it from another country, it becomes forbidden. I don't know what the issue is,
and there's a Jewish conspiracy, and the whole Jewish thing. The Jews, who are not Jews, have
done what they have done. They have declared kosher meat as lawful, believing in Allah and
calling Jesus the son of God, so they are not eating it. It's a business trade for them; they are
making money, becoming rich. Today, they have as much money as the lobby of Jews has.
Nobody has benefited them this much. Those who are Muslims by name, they go to them and
ask about the recognition of Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah. Jews has taught them
everything; Jews has taught you. They go and ask those who are Muslims by name about the
recognition of Muhammad, and Jews has told them. All the nonsense is taught by Jews. Jews has
taught them, everything is taught by Jews. They go and ask, "What is the recognition of
Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah?" Jews has told them. All the nonsense is taught by Jews.
Jews has made everything lawful for them, and they consider Christians as close because they
are close in the Quran. They think negatively about them. Now, they are saying to them that the
son of God is written in the Bible, so they are saying, "Allah's son is mentioned in the Bible."
