00:00:04 --> 00:00:07
			I remember going back to, my apartment,
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:10
			and I said, Ola, you blessed me to
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:11
			score this week.
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:13
			I'm making such now.
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:16
			And in my apartment, I kid you now.
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:18
			I'm trying to figure out
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:20
			how am I gonna go down and pray?
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:21
			Am I gonna stand up, beat on my
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:23
			chest, then go do a side. Am I
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25
			gonna go around and do a side?
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:27
			Whatever it's gonna be. And so,
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:30
			you know, Monday night football comes around. We
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:31
			needed the game,
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:34
			sell out crowd, Arrowhead. We set the noise
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:37
			record, still the world record, Guinness World Record
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:40
			today. Lauda Stadium in the outdoor stadium. Casey?
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:41
			Casey.
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:43
			Okay. And it happened
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:44
			on a guy
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:46
			intercepting the pass,
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:48
			running it back,
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:48
			and
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:51
			praising Allah, and it's
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:53
			on. That was your
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:55
			Suhan
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
			Omar. Wow. And it's still in Guinness World.
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00
			It's still in Guinness World. Unforgettable.
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:05
			The loudest roar recorded in world history is
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:06
			people cheering on a Muslim,
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:07
			praising Allah.
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:10
			Wow. That's beautiful. That's beautiful. Wow. And it's
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:11
			one of the and it's one of those
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:12
			things where,
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:15
			you just gotta be courageous, man. You just
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:16
			have to do it. And, Hamdulillah.
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:18
			You know, a lot of people talk about
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:20
			the flag. Hamdulillah didn't get fined. I remember
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22
			when my agent called me and told me
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:25
			about that. But the beautiful thing was I'm
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:27
			glad that there was a flag because it
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:29
			brought more attention to it. So then you
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:32
			had the world on every talk show, sports,
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:33
			this people are debating
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:34
			a such the
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:37
			the whole world is just debating a size
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:38
			of what it would be about. Can just
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:40
			explain the flags. I don't know what they
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:42
			mean by a flag. You gotta flag. So
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:43
			when I scored the touchdown, I go,
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:47
			actually, again, like, I'm I'm just throwing at
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49
			this point. So I just slid in the
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51
			end zone and and, you know, I did
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:53
			decide to sort of sort of rough, heat
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:56
			of the flag. So apparently, there was a
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:58
			yes, a penalty. So apparently, there's a rule
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00
			or was a rule. Now you can do
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:02
			whatever you want. Apparently, there's a rule that
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:04
			you can't go down in celebration
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:05
			on 2 knees.
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08
			Right? And so, they throw the flag. We
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:11
			get the penalty. Hamdullah didn't affect the game.
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:13
			He was working the Patriots that that, that
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:16
			game and we won, really good game. Afterwards
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:17
			came the backlash.
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:20
			Oh. And I'm talking about
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:22
			the Uma showed up.
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:24
			I'm getting my like, Twitter and Instagram is
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			not even it would wasn't close to what
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:29
			it is now. But when I say people
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:30
			from
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
			France, Indonesia,
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:33
			Africa,
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:34
			everybody
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:37
			going at the NFL. That was wrong. Yada
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:39
			yada yada. You shouldn't be doing this. He
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:41
			better not get fined all kinds of they
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:43
			buy, like, 6 AM. They issued a statement.
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:45
			Oh, this is this. Like, I'm waking up
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:48
			to the news. There's reporters that are like,
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:49
			what is going on? Check my phone. It's
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:50
			going crazy.
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:53
			And so it was beautiful because it captivated
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:54
			the world
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:57
			in terms of people should be able to
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:58
			pray to God.
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:00
			People should be able to worship.
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:03
			And so something that, you know, I hold
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:05
			a very personal in terms of,
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:07
			my relationship with the lost one of the
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:10
			island. And that was just a private moment
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:11
			that was displayed in public.
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:12
			Right?
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:14
			But that level of
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:17
			courage, willingness to do something in an environment
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:20
			that it's foreign, that people aren't aware of.
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:22
			The ref, you know, hamdullah, I don't know
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:24
			what was in his heart. So I just
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:25
			say he didn't see something he's not used
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:28
			to, so he finds it. Right? But look
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:30
			at the way, look at the way it
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:31
			spreads and look at the dower that comes
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:34
			from that. Right? Sometimes you never know just
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:36
			getting over your own
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:39
			individual fear or acting in spite of fear.
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:41
			It can lead to the most beautiful moment.
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:42
			Right? I mean, SubhanAllah.
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:44
			How much has that brought to the Ummah
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:45
			though? You know? Yeah. Like a lot of
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:46
			people
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:47
			never seen
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:49
			an Islamic
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:52
			gesture Yeah. You know, in in the end
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:54
			of, like, the Yeah. I think that was
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:56
			never it was it never happened. Yep. So
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:57
			it was the first time.
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:01
			Like all that courage that it took to
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:02
			do it,
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:05
			just the story that you said, you Allah,
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:05
			if
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:09
			if I score, then and Allah allowed you
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:10
			to score, SubhanAllah. You know what I mean?
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:13
			That's that's tough. Right? That you did. And
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:16
			second thing that, not only did Allah make
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:17
			it stop there,
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:19
			but as a reward for the courage, the
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:22
			roar from the crowd, possibly the angels roaring
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:24
			with us. Yeah, Allah. I love it. You
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:25
			never know what was what was happening there.
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:26
			And then after that, the whole Ummah stood
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:27
			up for it to show you, like,
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:29
			how we come together. Yeah. I mean, as
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:32
			an Ummah, and people are are discussing it.
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:34
			The prophet, salallahu alaihi wa sallam,
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:36
			this is something I thought of when he
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:37
			said that. The
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:39
			The prophet
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:42
			said,
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:47
			Whoever starts a good sunnah,
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:50
			right, in the ummah, then they get the
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:51
			reward the reward for it and the reward
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:54
			of everyone that does it after. So now
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:57
			everyone in any sport that was inspired by
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:58
			this action,
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00
			you get the reward of that subject and
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:01
			the impact that it has.
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:03
			Anomah. So that's
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:05
			yeah. So courage, this is the reward of
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:07
			courage at the end. Yeah. And he's probably
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:08
			sacrifice
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:10
			and this is what we get. No. And
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:11
			that's so deep. I mean and, you know,
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:14
			when we talk about masculinity, you know, it
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:16
			was our first episode, which really is everything
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:18
			is couched in this concept of purpose.
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:21
			Mhmm. It's just kind of to reiterate reiterate
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:23
			that is, you know, you know, you find
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:25
			if you're a Muslim man and a man
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:26
			that believes in a deity higher than you
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:29
			higher than yourself, Allah. If he's your ultimate
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:31
			purpose, everything you do in life is to
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:33
			please him. We we know that part, but
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:35
			sometimes we we forget or it's in our
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:36
			subconscious mind
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:40
			that the results of the struggle or the
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:42
			results of embodying that masculinity is up to
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:45
			Allah. Uh-huh. So the results of that was
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:47
			well beyond, I'm almost sure,
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:49
			what you would fathom, you know, that there
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:51
			would be a penalty firstly. And then the
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:53
			Muslims would stand like, what's going on now,
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:55
			masha'Allah? Yeah. You know, the Muslims coming online,
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:55
			the solidarity
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:58
			Yep. Is creating a whole different wave, bringing
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:00
			a whole different perspective, making a lot of
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:03
			people think. And that's because someone wanted to
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:05
			embody that masculine trait of courage.
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:07
			And particularly when it comes to the man
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:08
			in leadership,
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:11
			there has to be some time, of courage.
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:13
			And sometimes that courage, you may lose your
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:15
			life Yeah. Yep. In that regard.
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:19
			If also some said, whoever is the one
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:21
			that that dies in protecting his money
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:24
			is honored, then he is a murder. I
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:26
			could right now, I'm literally thinking, like, what
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:27
			it looks, because, you know, playing football and
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:28
			you're running in the helmet, you see that
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:30
			vision, it's like, it's shaking, you see the
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:33
			ends up coming close. You're coming close. You're
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:35
			like, it's happening. When you're, like, certain
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:37
			like, when when you when you caught it,
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:40
			you were running. Were you, like, absolutely sure
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:41
			you're gonna make it? You know, it's it's
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:43
			interesting as you say that because there,
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:46
			there are moments where you have conversations with
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:48
			yourself. Right? Mhmm. When I when I broke
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:49
			on the ball and,
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:53
			and I and I intercepted it, the immediate
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:55
			thought was Allah did his part. Now you
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:57
			gotta do your part. Mhmm. So that I
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:58
			gotta get there. I gotta go. I gotta
		
00:06:58 --> 00:06:59
			And, like,
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:01
			you know, like I said, it's this the
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:02
			it was the loudest,
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:04
			you know,
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:07
			recorded sound. I didn't hear nothing. I'm I'm
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:08
			I'm just focused. I got I gotta get
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:09
			there. I gotta get there. I gotta get
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:11
			there. I love that. So it's just it's
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:12
			just it's just me. Right now, it's just
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:14
			it's just me. I have to I have
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:16
			to uphold my my part of the promise
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:18
			because I did his part. He got me
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:19
			the ball. I gotta go score. I gotta
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:21
			go do a session. Right? So yeah. So
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:23
			it was just, again, like it was just
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:24
			a a moment. But, you know, one of
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:26
			the beautiful things is people
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:27
			know me
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:29
			for being Muslim.
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:32
			Not for anything I really did.
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:34
			Just that that guy's a Muslim.
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:36
			If you to you, you, you talk to
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:39
			a singer around, he's a Muslim. Yeah. The
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:41
			greatest thing that we can be known for
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:42
			is being Muslim.
