Abdullah Oduro – GYMTalk Manhood. Your Decision

			Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah. But it can't see me the peace and blessings of Allah be upon you all,
all of you. This message is particularly for the males, or is it for the men? That's up for you to
determine, you know the word and Islam a residual means men. But also the word leg in Arabic is
originally the same three letters, what's the connection between a leg and a man? Before I answer
that question, I asked you an earlier question, Are you a male? Or are you a man, you see a male is
that which is determined by birth, you can see it through the ultrasound, you can see it when the
baby is born. There are certain characteristics and anatomical structures, if you will, that can
		

			determine if you are a male or a female. But there will be a time in your life that you will have to
transition to from being a male to a man rather, it's upon you to make the decision to be a man. You
see, male is a matter of birth, being a man is a matter of choice. Those of you that have the
letters T E, N behind your age, it's that time to make that choice to be a man. It's not over one
night. It's over for a period of years. Because you're 1314 1516 1718 19 you are biologically
transitioning from a male to a man through something called puberty. And that is where primarily the
hormone testosterone is secreted. From an anatomical structure that we know that females don't have
		

			a part of your body that females do not have. It has a lot of this hormone called testosterone,
which takes place in giving you your physique, your figure your hair, lower voice, muscle company,
muscle strength, right your musculature, the structure of your muscles. All of this takes place
because you have the male characteristics, but being a man is what is important. You see a master
man, it is mastering the man within you. We firmly believe that when a man understands his role in
this world, as a khalifa to him, as a leader on this earth, and knows what it means to be a man
understands true masculinity, the world will be a better place simple. When one embraces his
		

			masculinity, acknowledges it and work towards it by making the decision to be a man. This is where
he has been a master man. So the question is, Are you a male and stay male? Are you choosing to be a
man playing video games for over six, seven hours a day? Watching things that you know are not
beneficial online of the opposite gender, this makes you an individual that may not be responsible.
That doesn't deal with rejection. Because when you have to go and ask for a woman's hand in
marriage, you're putting yourself out there for rejection, primarily making the choice to be a man
involves protection provision, procreation, these three protection provision, procreation, what are
		

			you doing consciously, to intentionally be an individual that is male, to protect, provide and
procreate? Because when you're conscious about these young guys, this is when you make the choice to
be a man. May Allah subhanahu Allah bless you all. And stay tuned for the next video on the
difference between original and original. What's the connection between a man and a leg and see how
it ties in together? May Allah bless you all. Salaam aleikum wa rahmatullah able to catch
