Imam W. D. Mohammed(ra) Sunday Taleem Oakland 1981 (part 1)

 We have Inner Urge To Understand  

So do you see how creation oppresses us? But the very same thing that oppress us is responsible for freeing us for God has put in us an urge to understand , and the more pressure or opposition to that understanding, the stronger the urge becomes. Some are eliminated. in the process but the strong survive.  Yes, the more the environment seems to press upon the intellect it and oppress it it and intimidate it, the more determined the intellect gets to deal with it, and I say, the strong survive; the weak are in the mental institutions or wasted in the dope dens, the prostitution dens, or the bars of the city; but the strong they survive. Praise be to Allah.
