And as I am sitting here, as Masih Darwish Shariff, looking at this beautiful architecture, I cannot help but relate it to what I said, which is, see the effect of togetherness. See the arches, see the curves of the arches, see the curves of the pattern, see how the pattern relates one to the other, and creates this absolutely beautiful image, which would not be possible if the relationships were not there. But thanks to the fact that there are the relationships between the patterns, we have these wonderful, these beautiful, these beautiful, these beautiful, these beautiful, these beautiful, so beautiful, so lovely to see how this is one straight line and it's all connected. And that is the nature of life. Alhamdulillah we have, as you know in the Haram in Madinah, these are the AC vents, air conditioning vents. Temperature is beautifully maintained, neither very cold, obviously never warm. Very very beautiful temperature control. All that glitters here is polished brass, polished very lovingly every bit of it the whole time. Lighting is just good, neither too bright nor too dark. These chairs, and you can see there are a series of them in this line, all the way, as you can see. These are the chairs of the teachers. Chairs of teachers who teach. We have Dars, we have Khatiras after usually the Maghrib, Sathya, Isha. And see the other one, the chairs are covered and nobody sits on them. Very unlike some masajid where the chair of the Imam is a piece of, is a subject of dispute. And people sitting on it and then being told not to sit on it. They take offense and all kinds of nonsense that happens. One of the things that we, we have to understand is that, we have to understand that, we have a lot of frivolity, frivolity, frivolity, frivolity, frivolity, frivolity frivolity frivolity frivolity frivolity frivolity frivolity frivolity frivolity frivolity frivolity frivolity frivolity frivolity frivolity frivolity frivolity frivolity frivolity frivolity frivolity frivolity frivolity frivolity frivolity frivolity frivolity frivolity frivolity frivolity frivolity frivolity frivolity frivolity frivolity frivolity frivolity frivolity frivolity frivolity frivolity frivolity frivolity frivolity frivolity frivolity frivolity frivolity frivolity frivolity frivolity frivolity frivolity frivolity see the whole year. And the thing that struck me the most always was this whole sense of Adam. Even everywhere, I mean here, quite clearly nobody calls you by name. No way that anyone would ever call me by name. So, immigration officer, imagine that I'm at the airport, with the immigration officer, I'm trying to get my fingerprinting. And my fingerprints always give me trouble, you know. Because my hands get a lot of work, how they lie, even how they do. So, the fingerprints are almost rubbed off. So, I'm trying to do that. The immigration officer is telling me to place them in a certain way. And he addresses me as Baba. And the first couple of times he said, Baba, I didn't even realize you were speaking to me. I'm thinking, why is he saying Baba? Who's the… I realized it's me. He said, Baba. Baba, here, here, here. Baba, here. He says, here, here, here. Baba, here. He's telling me to put my finger on this on a scanner. SubhanAllah, immigration officer, you only hear this here, you hear Baba, you hear Sheikh, their uncle, my uncle, once in a while, my father, youngsters introduce themselves. They say, I am your son, Abu Bakr. I am your son, Abu Bakr. I am your son, Abu Bakr. He won't say, I am Abdul Rahman. No. He says, I am your son. I am your son. Very, very, the level of politeness, it's a beautiful thing, Wallahi Subhanallah, to live in a Muslim country where the culture is Islam. It's not, and believe me, I have stayed in, I have been to Egypt several times. I have been to the UAE, I don't know how many times. I have been to Oman, I have been to Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, many times, of course, Saudi Arabia many times. The same thing. It doesn't matter which country. All, Alhamdulillah, Muslim lands are like this. With people who are steeped in their culture. The culture is a culture of respect, of mutual respect, of respect for age, respect for knowledge, and assumptions. You know, it's assumption of knowledge. Age, of course, at least, is very important. Age, of course, at least, is very important. It's a basis for it. It's a basis for it. It's a basis for it. It's a basis for it. It's a basis for it.
