"... I went to India, and the Hindus were throwing milk in the river. Their children have nothing to eat, and they throw the milk in the rivers. I asked why they don't eat cows, and they said: It's our mother! I said: Then eat the bull, he is a father. It's OK ...
(people laugh)
... I mean, you're starving and you don't eat ... what kind of religion is this? A religion should not destroy your intellect. You dignify a cow, and forget your Lord? Islam came to dignify mankind, the Qur'an says:
ولقد كرمنا بني آدم
"And we dignified the children of Adam."
Not that you should degrade yourself, by worshipping a cow!
The Hadeeth says:
جاء رجل إلى رسول الله
"A man came to the Prophet ..."
... So my brothers: Similarly, you should go to qualified and skilled individuals. If you go to an unspecialized doctor, you'll get 3 kilo medicines, but you will not get any better! Go to the qualified doctor ... A man went to a veterinarian and said: "My eyes hurt." The vet gave him some medicines which are meant for cow's eyes. The man became blind after using these medicnes! He came back complaining: "The medicines you gave me were meant for cows!!" The veterinarian said: "If you were not a cow, then why did you come to me?!"
(people laugh)
So my brothers, go to a person who is qualified in the field that you are enquiring about. We are a nation of Sanad (chain of narrations). If a person tells you a hadith, ask him for the references. If you don't get any references, don't accept it. This is our religion.
(... to be continued ...)
