[00:12:10] In the media, the world today [00:12:13] has become a large ocean of communication and information, [00:12:17] encompassing and controlling [00:12:20] the minds [00:12:25] of all people, of all choices, [00:12:28] if we look back [00:12:31] at history, mosques, hujras, [00:12:34] schools and universities [00:12:38] were the places that shaped a person's character. [00:12:41] But today, the media above all affects [00:12:45] human intellect and psyche. If used positively, [00:12:48] it becomes the driving force [00:12:52] of society, and if we let it go [00:12:55] in a negative direction, it becomes a tool for the decline and intellectual defeat [00:12:59] of society. Therefore, the role of media [00:13:02] is not only to inform, but is also fundamental [00:13:06] in all aspects of human [00:13:09] life. Islamic Sharia has set five great [00:13:12] objectives. Protection of religion, [00:13:15] protection of self, protection of intellect, [00:13:19] protection of progeny, and protection of wealth. [00:13:22] In each of these, we see [00:13:25] the clear influence of the media. Religion [00:13:29] is protected when a proper message is spread [00:13:32] through the media. Human life [00:13:36] is protected when a sound mindset [00:13:39] is formed through the media. [00:13:42] Intellect is preserved [00:13:44] when sound thoughts, pure intentions, and correct [00:13:48] information are disseminated [00:13:51] through the media. The generation will support [00:13:59] a healthy future and Islamic ethics. [00:14:02] Wealth is secure when the media [00:14:06] becomes a guide for economic literacy, transparency, and legality. [00:14:09] So the media [00:14:12] is not [00:14:15] just a tool, but an important front [00:14:18] for achieving Islamic goals. In the past twenty years, Afghanistan [00:14:22] has been a [00:14:27] nation-building project led by America. [00:14:30] During this time, Afghans were subjected to [00:14:33] war [00:14:35] and [00:14:43] bloodshed. The war was in fact a battle to change [00:14:46] minds, to spread Western values [00:14:50] and to change the Afghan mentality was their [00:14:53] main goal. This is something that even [00:14:57] American officials later admitted [00:15:00] in their books and forums. [00:15:03] When America withdrew, they could not [00:15:06] avoid admitting that [00:15:09] nation-building had failed. [00:15:13] The Afghan people were sensitive to foreign [00:15:16] values, and the media became [00:15:20] a victim of this sensitivity. Today, we are facing [00:15:23] a historical stage. If it aligns [00:15:26] with the values of home, school, and university, [00:15:30] it can play a major role in shaping [00:15:33] human character. But if it only remains [00:15:38] news, and the responsibility of understanding [00:15:42] and awareness is abandoned, then the nation will only be informed, [00:15:45] not aware. While for the development [00:15:48] of society, understanding, analysis, [00:15:52] and insight into right [00:15:55] and wrong are also essential. An aware nation comes into being [00:15:59] when the media presents sound and positive [00:16:02] content for the development [00:16:05] of the nation's intellect and character. [00:16:15] Islam has given it a great status. This is the force that determines the fate of nations, the [00:16:18] minds and the [00:16:22] cause of society's development, [00:16:25] for which special attention [00:16:28] should be paid to the management [00:16:31] and effective use [00:16:37] of the media, as a means of sound [00:16:40] upbringing of the generation [00:16:42] and societal [00:18:08] physical education [00:18:31] and morality. [00:19:52] Islamic Emirate's victory and triumph [00:19:55] for [00:19:57] Afghans. [00:20:01] And the country's capital [00:20:08] was conquered. We congratulated [00:20:11] and sacrificed for the establishment [00:20:14] of a complete [00:20:16] Islamic Sharia system. And [00:20:35] also waged jihad against [00:20:37] the American occupation. We heartily congratulate [00:20:40] all these sacrifices [00:20:42] to [00:20:46] all countries. Afghanistan's [00:20:53] history will be written in golden letters. [00:20:57] The [00:21:06] occupation of the Islamic system of salvation [00:21:08] was a great blessing. [00:21:12] All thanks to the system's support. [00:21:16] My dear compatriots, [00:21:29] the oppressed nation of Afghanistan, who for the sake [00:21:33] of reviving the Islamic system and removing [00:21:36] the occupation, had made sacrifices [00:21:39] and for years had endured [00:21:42] all hardships, it was for this very day, [00:21:46] this day of freedom. This is the day of independence, [00:21:50] the day of victory and the day of triumph for the people of Afghanistan. [00:21:54] On this occasion, I congratulate [00:21:57] and express my felicitations to all my nation. I ask [00:22:00] all my nation to cherish this day [00:22:04] and also to be grateful [00:22:08] and thankful for the divine blessings that have been bestowed [00:22:10] upon Afghanistan on this day. With the hope [00:22:14] of cooperation and companionship with the Islamic [00:22:17] system, support for a united and Islamic Afghanistan, [00:22:21] and also support for an independent [00:22:24] Afghanistan, self-determined, [00:22:26] and also [00:22:29] standing on its own feet. We pray that [00:22:32] Afghanistan, as a result of this victory, [00:22:35] as a result of this triumph, remains a prosperous [00:22:39] and independent, and also united country, [00:22:43] and that the people of Afghanistan live in prosperity, [00:24:44] Protecting the country's civil and Islamic values [00:24:47] and the integrity of national sovereignty [00:24:50] is our national and Islamic responsibility. [00:25:15] Hello, my name is Saeed Omar. I am happy that I am working [00:25:18] in my country.
