lecture and I measured here in Malaysia. And they were very surprised. They said never in the
history of the mosque as any lecture. And he she stood up and gave a talk before see the first so I

to nod and stuff like this. I don't know if you understand or if you don't understand. So yes, yes,
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:00

00:01:44 --> 00:01:45

foundation, class, and
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:30
			knowledge, what else do we need for a doubt to be powerful?
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:46
			It's about following the tsunami Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam obviously the Baraka and the blessing.
The true blessing will be in following Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam in our dialogue, very
good. What else do we need?
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:59
			Patience. You have a lot of sub, a lot of patience. Because you're gonna face so many difficulties
if you decide you're going to be giving up. You're going to be following the footsteps of who
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:07
			have rasuna Lawson was that wasallam and all of the MBM all of the prophets before him? Was it easy
for them?
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:15
			difficult. So just as they face difficulties, you're going to face difficulties very good. What are
some other things we need?
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:18
			Knowledge mention?
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:26
			Is the economy common for us to be practicing in ourselves, the Islam because if you're not
practicing what you preach, how's the effect of it?
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:36
			It's going to be weak and one of the main obstacles we face brothers always asked me when I travel
you living in the West?
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:45
			What are some when you go on trips to let us know this? How many? What's the main obstacle you face
in the dour? What's the biggest obstacle?
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:48
			What do you think the biggest obstacle is?
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:56
			as Muslims in the West? What is the biggest obstacle we face the most? The most difficult thing that
we face What is it
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:00
			tradition?
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:02
			What is whose tradition
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:05
			tradition from where?
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:15
			From the Muslims The biggest problem we face in the West is from the Muslims themselves. biggest
obstacle in the world in general
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:21
			the biggest obstacle in front of us when it comes to Tao is the Muslims
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:24
			no doubt about it
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:36
			this minute just to give me some freedom but I still I'm still have the wire though. The wires what
scared me on the bottom. This is where the people the header where this is one.
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:40
			Okay,
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:42
			getting miked up now.
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:46
			A lot of wires which kind of
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:49
			nice it's actually another wire I know.
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:53
			This is better but more scary
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:56
			by
		
00:04:57 --> 00:05:00
			the Muslims. Why is it such an
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:21
			obstacle, because between us, we always have problems always, you know, one not wanting the other to
progress, we're fighting amongst one another. But even more than that is that when the non Muslim
forgiving our to a non Muslim, and we explain Islam to them, Islam is beautiful. There's no faults
in Islam.
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:33
			Islam is the solution to all of the problems we're facing around the world today, I gave a lecture
one time in Dubai. And it was about
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:48
			the problems we face or how Islam and Islam the solution or something, I forget the exact title. But
what I did, I stood in front of the people. And I took out a piece of paper with a blank piece of
paper. And I said, here's what I prepared
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:56
			for the lecture today, I showed them both sides of the paper, there's nothing on it. So we had a
group of people were coming to hear me lecture
		
00:05:57 --> 00:06:38
			from the Muslims and from the non Muslims as well. Like, what is this guy, you know, we come listen
to him, and he hasn't prepared anything. I said, today's lecture, you're going to prepare it here on
the spot. So we have a challenge, as it any problem that the world faces today. Bring it in front of
me and I will bring you the solution from Islam, guaranteed inshallah. And if I can't do it now, I
will go home and research and find a solution, bring it to you next week and shovel all the problems
that we found the solution the Quran is done in Islam, hamdulillah Everything is there. So Islam,
there's nothing wrong with Islam. But what happens is we come and we show this beautiful religion to
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:53
			the non Muslims. And they see, it's very interesting. It's very nice, looks like in what I've been
looking for. But if what is in these books is true. If what you're saying is true, then why does it
affect you?
		
00:06:54 --> 00:07:24
			Why does it affect your community? Why are the Muslims in such a mess all around the world? And how
many countries do we have in the world? That we can really say Alhamdulillah you know, because a
good Muslim country we use Malaysia law by the way, I was telling the brother you're on the way as
an example from the law. Any country there's room for improvement by Malaysia has a lot of good
camera. At least when a Muslim country we've done something here in Malaysia how many as Muslims?
Well, some countries will kind of shy as a Muslim country. It is unfortunately
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:50
			it's a problem. You know, because we have some serious issues in Muslim countries. So what is it
it's not from the religion it's from the people in the country. So these are some of the things we
need to fix if we're gonna have power our Tao will be able to represent our or our religion and to
be from the best of the nation sent forth as the last panel Watada describe this then we need to
focus on all of these things to make our dour powerful
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:53
			Why do we give our
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:57
			Why do we want to give down
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:00
			to them? Why
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:08
			the spread is that why do you want to spread Islam? All of this is correct. But always needs to go
deeper into the reason why.
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:12
			say who you are because you're Muslim, you're
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:16
			worried about yourself, who do you want to save?
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:34
			You want to save the people who are going to have we want to save them just like now if there
wouldn't be a fire somewhere and you see somebody going naturally as a as a decent human being what
would you want to do? Save them? Would you say hold on is a Muslim or non Muslim? Let's see.
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:53
			Let him go Okay, now Muslim, go, that's a Muslim and save him. We want to save everybody. The
province of Salem when you look at and see or how they described many salatu salam he was somebody
he had the whom the concern about how to spread the message of Islam, about how to relate it to the
people.
		
00:08:55 --> 00:09:04
			And this is how the Muslim should be because we don't want anybody to be harmed Yeoman piano they
come and somebody enters into the hellfire. We don't want that for anybody
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:12
			want everybody's intervention agenda? We need to strive also what are the reasons why we give dowel
to save the people what else?
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:16
			What else do we give down?
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:23
			To remind people, we have two types of main Tao who are the four
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:27
			two main categories and McDowell to
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:46
			the Muslims and non Muslims. So if you say no that was only for animals if that is not true, even to
Muslims, we give our which is the reminders. We come here to remind each other and when Muslims but
one of the things we have to realize as an oma is that this is our duty.
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:59
			It is compulsory upon us as an oma to relay the message. Allah subhana wa tada said to us in the
Koran, and sort of Allium on well choco mimco
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:03
			There should be a nation from amongst you doing what?
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:09
			You had their own a little clear way more than my roof when hona Mancha
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:24
			that they should be making dour, calling to the goods, making dow according to the good and
forbidding them, which is evil, they would have the last say about these people at the end of the
verse. Like what are they?
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:40
			And hopefully who these are the successful ones. If we're going to be successful as an human, we
have to first be proud of who we are. And this is one of the main things we face and not having
power in our power is that we are not proud of who we are.
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:46
			Even sometimes we show people they don't have the been the certainty that Islam is the solution.
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:55
			If we look at our actions, we look at ourselves. We're not somebody who's proud to represent
Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam the norm of Islam.
		
00:10:57 --> 00:11:18
			We look at how Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam used to act, how we used to look, do we want to be like
Rasulullah system? Do we want to be like the Sahaba? Do we have that concern to spread our message,
if we want to be successful, that's the only way we're going to be successful as oma, we have to
have this concern inside with the feeling inside that this is our duty to represent.
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:26
			And the best way to represent your own as well, by acting upon Islam in yourself, and then spreading
it related to others.
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:56
			So we have to have that concern inside ourselves, to spread Islam and realize that this is our duty.
Something that we must do as an oma to spread the message of Islam. It can be a different different
levels different ways, may have someone who's a full time day, and somebody who does their way he
can. And you're in your office place if you just act upon Islam or let's dour, just acting upon
Islam in itself is is the greatest form of doubt.
		
00:11:57 --> 00:11:59
			Do you see the beauty of Islam in you?
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:12
			We know it's our duty. But another reason why we give Dawa is the beauty of Islam or life is that we
have commands things we have to do. But at the same time, Allah gives us so much in return.
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:18
			Look at the beauty of Islam, for example,
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:22
			fasting Ramadan? Is that an option?
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:26
			You have to do one of the pillars of Islam.
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:29
			But what do you get in return?
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:46
			The law you get returned from the fasting, all of the Agile all of the reward, and the same thing
I'm then giving down, it's important to remind yourself that's another encouragement for you. Now
just the fact you're fulfilling a duty. It's something that you're proud of something that you love,
but at the same time,
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:49
			look at the reward you get in return for dour.
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:57
			Look at the Agile you get in shuttle time. If somebody got what did you get? What are you getting
returned? If somebody got it through you?
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:00
			What do we get in return?
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:06
			You get personal satisfaction, no doubt about that.
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:16
			All of his good deeds, how about that? All of his good deeds that he does, you get the same reward
and sell your piano. And sometimes you forget about that.
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:35
			You help somebody be guided somebody who was straight as a Muslim, and left Islam or was half half
in Islam. And you advise him, you got him, you gave him a book, you sent him a link, or what's up or
email and he he was guided to that all of the good deeds
		
00:13:36 --> 00:14:12
			that he is doing, you're getting agile for I remember once I was given a whole bunch of them, and we
had established a message there that was in English for the non Arabs in Sudan. And I noticed a
brother who was praying with us in the masjid, who has the same brother who had helped me when I was
a new Muslim in 1994 to go on to study Arabic In Islam and so that he became very elder Mashallah to
see me and now I'm the copy. I'm given the whole book. So I saw him and I was very excited to see
him. And I went, I said, I'm so and so do you remember me?
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:16
			And he said, No, I don't just kind of service that it's okay.
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:47
			At least I saw him after all these years, I was very happy, Mashallah. And he said, I don't remember
that. There's 1994, his older brother now. And so anyways, you're the one who helped me, come here
to do that. Alhamdulillah and I said, I learned him Sudan. And then I went to Medina, and I learned
and now I'm dead. I'm traveling the world. I'm giving down and I said, hungry left. All of the
things I do. You're getting bored and shallow. Tada. And he said, That's good to hear. I'm so sorry.
I forgot who you were with. That's good news for me.
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:59
			He didn't even think about he forgot who I was. But all of that data now. He's getting important a
part of it. Unfortunately. yomo kiama is put into the scale of his good deeds, the provinces and I'm
encouraged
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:00
			Sahaba
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:03
			by saying,
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:07
			if one person is guided through you, what do you get in return?
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:11
			Islam is a logical religion. You want to talk to
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:51
			the logic of the human being. It's not just do do, do, do and you're going to get returned. Allah
encourage you so we can strive for it because that's the nature of the human being. What's in it for
me? Okay, what do I get in return? Now as listeners we leave up a lot of things because what we get
in return were the gentlemen now the brother has a business trading company he's in he's in he's in
selling and buying and I come to like, help me It helps me out the first time the second time, but
then eventually is like, What's in it for me? It's a business thing from losing money. I'm not gonna
do it, but the law is giving us in return agita, reward, reward, the process element courage, this
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:55
			habit. Say one man is guidance. What do you get in return?
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:24
			Better than the red camels. A bunch of red camels does today like what we know. So I always use the
example. I was giving the brother the examples of the red Ferrari. He said red camels. He was like
what are they actually but they're very expensive even So today, we have some brothers. Some buddy
winds from the desert this they rake it was like Yeah, they still know what it means. Versus like
red. So red Ferrari's and what are we limiting? You see all those cars outside?
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:31
			Imagine the Orient Ferraris and Mashallah we said all for you. All I'm not one of them. All of you
can have
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:40
			is having a bunch of these referees outside the reward equivalent to that for the the one who is the
reason behind somebody being guided.
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:52
			Look at the rewards you're getting. It's better than that. To that Oh, that's scary is Can somebody
better? There are a lot of red Ferraris. You gotta get something even better than agenda and
Showtime.
		
00:16:53 --> 00:16:55
			And even in your life, don't think now. Always the
		
00:16:57 --> 00:17:38
			the rewards is only going to be in the agenda. Even as the brother mentioned something very
important. The personal satisfaction you feel good inside. And then also Allah subhana wa tada puts
Baraka and blessing in your life. When you live for a loss of conduits, Allah will doors open. And
we see that all the time. As we try to give down we tried, we go through difficulties, but then that
loss of panatela opens up doors for us. Do you want to strive for Allah subhana wa Tada. So we know
why we're giving down we know it's our duty, we know we want in return. And then after we have that
mentality that we have to do it, it's something that we must do. We have to go back to some of the
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:45
			things our brother here mentioned. First of all, remember, we have to have what is lost sincerity.
We do a
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:56
			philosophy panel without him because you might not think about that right now. One person is guided
to be but then what happens all the sudden you become the king of the Shahada.
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:19
			And here in Malaysia they call you the king of Shahada, meaning what? That you're passing out
Shahada right left and center. You're giving Dawa and you have your effective, the first person
accepts the second the 10th, the 20th 101,000 the brothers now given 3000 she had this, you think
the intention is not going to change who's going to try to change it she thought was gonna come to
you right away, Oh,
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:23
			brother used to be very humbled. And now he works like this.
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:51
			The Shadow King, even he puts him on a shirt in the back Shadow King. I'll give him status, you will
know how to do it come to me argue I'm the man becomes a fitness, you have to have a class in order
to be against you yourself. All those rewards will be in your skill of bad deeds. And you'll know
piano you attend a class for loss of Panama's honor. And when you have a class for loss of data, you
see how it will affect you, and how it's going to affect you down.
		
00:18:53 --> 00:19:05
			Because you want so bad, you feel you want that person to be guided, you want to help the people,
you have that inside. That's one of the beautiful things I love about the center here. After I said
what Jeff was saying, at first, I didn't really understand this was the hardest.
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:32
			Because you think of it, you know, coming from the Arabic countries and for them is the circuits in
it. But then we understand actually hidden, we're making kidmin we'll get we're serving the oma
serving mankind it was I think it said where's this aid, right? That's serving mankind. Okay. That's
what we're talking about. Because that's what we're here to do. We want to help the people is what
the Muslim wants to do. You have a class sincerity for a low soprano asylum. But is that sincerity
enough?
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:55
			It's not enough. You have to base it on knowledge. And don't let a thought for you. Because what
happens here after you had that boost of wanting that edge and want to get involved and want to
spread the message and be a part of relaying it, so nice and knowledgeable. People go like this. Who
am I? I miskeen because she will come and trick you. She will come and trick you
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:59
			know to give Tao I don't have much knowledge. We're not talking about being a scholar.
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:27
			You don't have to be a scholar to be somebody who was a day. In fact, if we were to go and show you
right now, put them here on a screen in front of us, the most successful days that we have English
speaking days anyways, I can show you right now the majority of them vast majority and the top 10
are not even really students of knowledge to be honest with you. They have some knowledge but
they're not very strong. The majority don't even speak Arabic.
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:54
			What did they have that other people didn't have? They had a class they had patience and they on
hard work and also opened up for them. Even though knowledge wise they're not the strongest ones and
knowledge and how to give doubt they might have more knowledge than a lot of the other students and
knowledge but they're not major scholars. They're small students of knowledge you know the basis of
the dean who have some good habits Lawson Chateaux tada they work hard a lot but Baraka blessing in
there.
		
00:20:56 --> 00:21:04
			So you don't have to be a major scholar to be but you do have to have some basic some knowledge. And
the more knowledge you have, the better.
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:08
			The more you know, the more power you're going to have in your doubt.
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:20
			When it comes to being a successful boxer now, anybody box here or any martial arts, any brother
brothers sisters will be scared of some sisters raise their hands. No, no, no.
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:25
			We have sometimes one of the keys to being successful in boxing
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:37
			is not all about what the strength and the work ethic. The key is what that's going to give you some
wins some victory. But to be the best, what do you need?
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:43
			The knowledge, the knowledge is one of the greatest boxers in our time. Who is he?
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:49
			Having it and then the ones who were boxing today.
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:56
			Mike Tyson, okay, because now because we're in Islamic gathering, the rose Olympics and the Muslims.
		
00:21:58 --> 00:22:05
			Tyson is a Muslim, Mashallah. But if you look, for example, at Mayweather, in the days we live in,
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:13
			he's somebody who's a little bit, he's overconfidence, nonetheless, work ethic and very, very smart
and he understands the science of it.
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:51
			So the more you know, the more success you're gonna have. I'm just giving the example from the life
we live in. So the more success you knowledge you have, the more successful you're gonna be in the
business world. If you look at some of the brothers or sisters here with successful businesses,
Mashallah you'll find that they understand what they're doing. They use the mind a lot and think
about it. And they do that make the proper moves. So the more knowledge you have of your religion,
the more power you're going to have, in your doubt. The more knowledge you have of misconceptions or
and how techniques of how to give doubt, the more PowerShell you're going to have in your doubt. And
		
00:22:51 --> 00:23:03
			after you have this, like the brother mentioned, you have to have a lot of patience, realize you're
going to face difficulties. As you go down the path and you give down. It's not gonna be easy.
That's why Allah subhanho wa Taala
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:35
			installed an asset, one of the smallest tools in the Quran, but as Amanda Shafi said, if a lot only
cents worth an asset to us, as as a reminder, or as guidance to us, it will be sufficient, because
it has all of you need in order to be successful in this life, and then the next and shuttle time.
And a lot of times, people like to read this to one another as a reminder, and the Sahaba even
themselves, that they met each other sometimes, before they will leave whatever they will be sorted
out. So as a reminder,
		
00:23:37 --> 00:23:44
			I lost the final thoughts on all of mankind will be a loss, except for the ones who have four
		
00:23:45 --> 00:23:50
			characteristics. What are those characteristics? The first thing is the man
		
00:23:52 --> 00:24:06
			with the man, you relax, you find certainty in life, you have direction in life through your
emotions or your belief. And then after you have that, you have to have ominously good deeds. It's
not enough just to have a man as well also.
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:32
			When he talks about the gender, and what you're going to get in the hereafter for your man, he
always mentions that I'm going to solid the good deeds with it. And after somebody has these two
Beautiful Names, these blessings, the man and the good deeds, he really he wants to share this with
others. Because as Muslims what happens? We become very stingy now, with the fear we have, we don't
want to share what
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:48
			we don't want to share this fair. There's good that we have with the people. So we have this lamp
from the tickets agenda, but it's only for me. You look at the males go to *. You go on the list.
I'm gonna make an agenda. The true believer wants to share this with everybody.
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:57
			He's proud of who he is. As a Muslim. I want to share it with you. Yes, I'm a Muslim. Why do you do
this because I follow Mohammed civil law gladly.
		
00:24:58 --> 00:24:59
			I follow the Quran.
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:06
			I'm proud to be a Muslim. That's what it was what I said, what it was so bellhawk calling and
reminding to the heart.
		
00:25:08 --> 00:25:13
			But those three, it's not it. The fourth characteristic, what is it? So
		
00:25:14 --> 00:25:31
			we have to have patience. If somebody is going to hold on to the rope of Allah soprano what's on and
try to make it to the agenda, go, the difficulties you're going to face. And then if you want to add
on to, you're going to be calling to it's not just acting upon it, you're calling to at the same
time, you're gonna face difficulties. So you have to be prepared for that.
		
00:25:33 --> 00:25:52
			These are all forms of introductions of things we need in order to make our Dallas strong. One of
you know, as a student, sometimes you hear something from one of your teachers, one of your
scholars, that that sticks to you. I remember one of our
		
00:25:54 --> 00:25:56
			esteemed scholars who taught us
		
00:25:57 --> 00:26:13
			he told us something very beneficial, which I remember I wrote down on the side of the book, and I
still remember it still today. And something I strive to try to act upon myself and ask Allah
subhana wa tada to help me act upon it. He told us that you're never going to be successful.
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:18
			In your power, unless you have three things.
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:56
			There's three key elements. If you have these inshallah, Allah will grant you to feel the eventual
ability and success in shutting you down. But if you don't have these three things, you won't be
successful do the key, he told us. And that is, first of all, he said, to have vast knowledge of the
religion. Because the more knowledge you have, also, the more Eman you have, the more the more you
know, Allah subhanho wa Taala. A lot of times we find people who are giving Dawa and traveling
around the world, and they don't even know who Allah subhanaw taala is, he's a Muslim, nor shall
look like he's foreigners. Turner says, Who is Allah subhanho wa Taala tell us explain to us Layla.
		
00:26:56 --> 00:27:23
			Hello, hello, come and tell you. There's no creator and provider except the law. Yeah, we know that.
But tell us Allah we need more than that. That's not what it lacked. That is not what that means.
Okay, that's part of it. that falls under that's not the main thing. The main thing is that there's
no deity worthy of worship except that there's no true God worthy of worship except the one true God
Allah subhana wa Tada.
		
00:27:25 --> 00:27:42
			And this is what the process is all the prophets cold soup is the meaning of to eat, to know what to
know Allah subhana wa tada with his beautiful names and his attributes have strong faith with Allah
subhanho wa Taala, strong knowledge, the more you know a lot, the more you increase in your mind as
well. Strong knowledge.
		
00:27:44 --> 00:27:46
			And secondly, to have
		
00:27:47 --> 00:27:57
			a strong relationship with Allah subhanaw taala. And you're about to your worship. So many times,
when we get involved in doubt, we forget our own selves. We forget our own about them.
		
00:27:58 --> 00:28:02
			And I'm gonna tell you a story that happened to me when I graduated.
		
00:28:03 --> 00:28:11
			And I learned something that I'm still trying to fix today. And that is that I talk too fast.
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:20
			I can't help it. Sometimes I get excited. And I try to talk slow, rather always come to me said very
nice lecture brother. But if you slow down,
		
00:28:22 --> 00:28:29
			okay, um, then I try my best. But then I get into the lecture I get excited. And I but I think I'm
slowing down a bit.
		
00:28:30 --> 00:29:10
			So I went to the eastern province in Saudi Arabia to give a lecture. And I received a phone call
from the Office of Sheikh Mohammed Saleh and also panel to preserve him. And he said, Chef, Mohammed
wants to invite you to lunch. And we have here today with us chef usted, la ucms, this as well, was
going to be here and all of you have lunch together. So that would be very nice to have. Okay, and
I'll be coming in shallow. They said also, there's a program for some of the English speaking days
working in the field of dour, we should have used it before the lunch, if you're interested, you can
come to come to learn free in the morning, so I'll come as well. And I haven't seen chef used for
		
00:29:10 --> 00:29:19
			some time. So it was an opportunity. And the chef was talking to these he will work in the field of
power. And he said something very, very interesting.
		
00:29:20 --> 00:29:27
			Which I try to remember all the time. And he said that the dairy, the one getting dour
		
00:29:28 --> 00:29:35
			doesn't have five breyers that's the normal Muslim. The one who is the day has six prayers.
		
00:29:36 --> 00:29:38
			Six in a day has to be
		
00:29:40 --> 00:29:59
			because you have to have the night prayer. The family. He said even if it's the half an hour at one
night, he said if you don't put your head down on the ground, that lady you met today who asked you
about Islam, if you don't have the class and the sincerity and the concern to put your head down
during the night and to beg Allah subhanho wa Taala
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:03
			to guide her, he said we don't want you with this
		
00:30:04 --> 00:30:16
			is the for the real one, to take us down to the next level to our power. If you don't have power,
you have to work hard for it when you want, how many of us go to the gym, if you go to the gym and
you work out,
		
00:30:17 --> 00:30:50
			there's different levels you can reach. You can tone your body, you can go in there and do a little
bit doesn't do much for you. Or you can go in there and you can give it all you have. And you'll see
the effects to see the power at the end. But if you're somebody who just wants to, it's up to you.
But if you want to have power in your power, you have to have the connection with Allah subhana wa
tada the solid, and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, from the beginning at the time of
Mecca, focused on the night prayer, training himself and training the Sahaba for the night prayer,
they went to Medina, and it came time to act.
		
00:30:52 --> 00:31:22
			When they had some power, the night prayer had made them strong in their mind. That's what some of
the scholars said, the one who is the person of the night mean the Sahaba lien, the one who stands
up in prayer at night, that fear doesn't enter into His hearts. Because it's this this this source
of tranquility. It's amazing. And those of you who have tried it, even if you're not consistent, but
you did sometimes in life, you know, there's no better feeling and nobody can see you, except the
last one. And you stand there in the night prayer and you feel it.
		
00:31:23 --> 00:31:50
			Having strong worship with the lowest of the five daily prayers, the variety of the deen the basic
things that you have to fulfill the duties. If you're not fulfilling those, you're not gonna have a
strong effect in your downline. So you have to have this strong relationship with the law supanova
Tada you have knowledge and then you're a Bader and the third keys to success are chef told us is by
having zoos in the dunya not being attached to the dunya
		
00:31:51 --> 00:31:53
			because if you become attached to this life,
		
00:31:54 --> 00:32:05
			you're not going to have true success in your dour. The knee is going to change the intention is
going to change. Instead of striving for the guidance of yourself and the people you're going to be
striving for what
		
00:32:08 --> 00:32:10
			does that mean it's haram to have money
		
00:32:11 --> 00:32:13
			but naturally if it comes to you
		
00:32:14 --> 00:32:26
			if it doesn't come to your handle working for our last panel was silent. And so many times so many
have to do it. Well I have seen from the mission from the sheiks who are not concerned with the
dunya Allah so panel that opens up to the dunya
		
00:32:27 --> 00:32:33
			I know one of the shifts now he's not allowed to travel except for first class that allowance.
		
00:32:35 --> 00:32:38
			Why every year or two he has a brand new car
		
00:32:40 --> 00:33:13
			he doesn't want it but what happened some of the people around him were affected by his dow having
two very very big businessmen. They said haraam telera ship we travel everywhere first class we let
our ship traveling Academy no way they went to his organization and said look i don't care he swore
by last panel he only traveled first class is disrespectful for us you have to travel other than
first class every year to they buy a new car he doesn't want it doesn't concern he's busy with give
it down. But he finds himself when he goes to search his car is that working? There's a new one
here, there's a new key.
		
00:33:16 --> 00:33:17
			He didn't want it Allah gave it to him he didn't handle it.
		
00:33:19 --> 00:33:29
			So you can't if you attach yourself to the duty and this is an all aspects of life as a Muslim, not
just a giving down. If you want to be successful in your deen and you let yourself get attached to
the dunya
		
00:33:30 --> 00:33:31
			the Sahaba
		
00:33:33 --> 00:33:38
			and always give the example of the Sahaba because a lot of people don't we understand Islam what is
Islam.
		
00:33:39 --> 00:33:41
			We're not calling people to be monks.
		
00:33:42 --> 00:33:57
			Leave your job. Buy one of these and come live in Harlem center here will serve you in shallow tada
just make Vicar and worship Allah subhana wa tada your food will come to you your three meals and
just have your in this worship alosa panel. That's not what we want.
		
00:33:58 --> 00:34:40
			But we don't want to be attached when we attach we're to the Alfredo many of us have a big
businessman has had huge money after a moment of madness, even boubakeur, pop, pop pop, they used to
take shifts where the answer was his business partner, they would go to the sort of loss of asylum
or alternate days. Today is your day. He goes down slot he comes back to Omaha Thomas said I learned
this and almost doing what's working. And then the next day he goes and he comes back and teaches
downside what he learned from the law says no, this is the way this make money but don't be attached
to the dunya. So these are three of the keys to success in the Dow that you need. And sometimes we
		
00:34:40 --> 00:34:42
			start talking about the Dow techniques so much.
		
00:34:44 --> 00:35:00
			What's the best way to get down? How do we get down and we don't focus on this foundation. Don't
focus on the foundations. If you have a weak Foundation, anything, the results are going to be weak.
So you need to focus on these things we mentioned if you're going to be successful
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:08
			In relaying the message of law, a law, law, you have to be strongly some of the law today when it
comes to the knowledge. They don't know what Islam means.
		
00:35:09 --> 00:35:18
			Seriously, how many people have come in and talk about Islam and given power? And they say, What is
the meaning of Islam? Brother Islam means peace.
		
00:35:19 --> 00:35:24
			Islam means peace. And it's not to go into it. And Arabic grammar.
		
00:35:25 --> 00:35:32
			If you go back to it, it's selama man. And selama means Allah means peace, bro. And that's the
meaning of Islam.
		
00:35:33 --> 00:35:39
			And it doesn't even come from the word reward selama it comes from slammer, which means what
		
00:35:40 --> 00:35:55
			to submit, to surrender through a loss of battle. This means totally different meaning, this
submission and this surrender that you're doing to Allah subhanho wa Taala it guides to peace in
this world and a guy so that is
		
00:35:56 --> 00:36:08
			the ultimate peaceful abode and agenda and shelter. So it's going to guide you to peace, inshallah.
Peace of heart, peace of mind, and then shall have peace in the hereafter. But the meaning of Islam
is
		
00:36:09 --> 00:36:11
			to submit to Allah subhanho wa Taala.
		
00:36:13 --> 00:36:14
			Knowledge of your religion.
		
00:36:16 --> 00:36:17
			Now the question comes,
		
00:36:19 --> 00:36:27
			how do we give down? Because after we have the foundation, one of the biggest mistakes we make is we
don't know how to give down.
		
00:36:31 --> 00:36:35
			Or we see somebody else and we think that's the right way we follow that way. But it's not the
correct way.
		
00:36:37 --> 00:36:39
			What is the best way to get down?
		
00:36:41 --> 00:36:41
			is a question
		
00:36:45 --> 00:36:56
			that will build with act by acting very good. What are some other ways? Anybody else have another
opinion? We're under we're free people, we can have different opinions. They have to be right.
		
00:36:58 --> 00:37:09
			There's no best way. Anyway, Bismillah all three all paths lead to Rome. Bismillah Allahu Akbar.
Okay, this is could be correct in some aspects. But I'll come back to then shadow.
		
00:37:11 --> 00:37:13
			Anybody else? That's what it comes down.
		
00:37:15 --> 00:37:20
			Like what the brother mentioned, the best way to give Dawa without even saying a word
		
00:37:21 --> 00:37:22
			you'd have to speak.
		
00:37:24 --> 00:37:37
			What's the best way to give Tao is in your actions? Well, I when people see the effect of Islam upon
you, it's going to affect the Muslims around you. And even the non Muslims. When they see the beauty
of Islam,
		
00:37:39 --> 00:37:53
			the largest Muslim population in the world today is where Indonesia, how they become Muslims in many
of the places in Asia. Through the sword, right? A lot more. Islam was spread by the sword. That's
what they say.
		
00:37:54 --> 00:38:15
			How they become Muslim, to the interaction with the businessmen, the traders, the Muslims who are
coming and trading with them and buying and selling. They still have Islam change them. What
happened you guys, you guys, are guys used to cheetahs used to lie to us all the sudden you guys are
honest and telling us the truth. What happened to you? Or we're Muslim. Now? Islam changes. And this
Islam is
		
00:38:16 --> 00:38:17
			the origin to Islam.
		
00:38:19 --> 00:38:34
			Because of the actions of the Muslims, so many people around the world we met today, they became
Muslim to the actions of a Muslim and it could be something so small you following Islam? You don't
think it's going to have an effect? It could be something you do.
		
00:38:36 --> 00:38:40
			I always like to give the story of the student who
		
00:38:41 --> 00:38:43
			an elderly lady accepted Islam
		
00:38:44 --> 00:38:45
			through
		
00:38:46 --> 00:38:48
			something he did in the toilets.
		
00:38:50 --> 00:38:59
			How about that? Is that possible? How does she know what he's doing in the toilet? First of all and
foremost? scarier? How does she know what he's doing in the morning?
		
00:39:01 --> 00:39:14
			What do we do when we go to the toilet as Muslims how do we clean ourselves is stingy with water
which means what and shuttle tada that our clothes inside was they clean and pure? And we know
stains on them.
		
00:39:15 --> 00:39:27
			And the West Why come from those who don't have Islam don't have water. Which means he might have a
nice suit on. That's very clean. But inside there's nothing clean happening. Trust me.
		
00:39:28 --> 00:39:33
			He's got some serious issues, oh, clean cuts and he's got some issues going on.
		
00:39:34 --> 00:39:36
			So this old lady she noticed that
		
00:39:38 --> 00:39:49
			as the clothes are coming in, she and her job is to wash the clothes in Ireland and send them back
to the students. So she knows this one particular students that there's no stains, not Brown, not
yellow Bismillah Mashallah. Hello,
		
00:39:50 --> 00:39:59
			Queensland. Okay, interesting. Never seen that before my 25 years of experience, but Okay, second
time, second week, interesting. third week, okay, now it's
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:39
			become like an obsession. She wants to know, What is the secret? This guy is clean all the time. And
that Oh, am I 25 years of experience? I've never seen this. So we have the expression. They say
curiosity killed the cat, right? But not all the time. Sometimes it can save the cat inshallah. So
here she goes, and she asked him, and I'm very shy to ask you this embarrassing question. But what
do you do? What's your secret? You know, what, you're always clean. And he said, very simply, I'm a
Muslim, and he acts upon his religion, in the toilet by cleaning himself. So when he stands in front
of a launcelot, there's no impurities on his clothing. And because of this, she said, a religion of
		
00:40:39 --> 00:41:00
			this status. It's got to be the truth and she accepted Islam became a Muslim, just because we
signatory. So imagine if we were to implement all of Islam, in ourselves, it's amazing the effect
they can have. So just acting upon Islam is the key thing. After that, when it comes to interacting
with others,
		
00:41:01 --> 00:41:08
			how do we give down you met a Muslim and non Muslim? First let's start with the Muslims.
		
00:41:10 --> 00:41:13
			How do we get down to the Muslims? What are the keys to be successful?
		
00:41:17 --> 00:41:22
			gifts alarms, being kind, being gentle, always using Heckman.
		
00:41:23 --> 00:41:28
			Whether we are Sybil erotica, Bill Hickman use hikma when you give down,
		
00:41:29 --> 00:41:46
			never be rough, never be harsh. And what happens to a lot of us sometimes we start to practice our
religion, or we have the heart with us. We become harsh. Because inside we want people to practice
the hop. If they reject it, we get angry. So we come with
		
00:41:48 --> 00:42:00
			what are you doing? We do this to them and the way you come around it. What happens you push the
person back even farther. So you have to have hikma you have to have lean, what is lean?
		
00:42:03 --> 00:42:31
			To have a soft approach and nice approach. Allah subhanho wa Taala told the prophets of his of his
Rasulullah sallallahu sallam, the best of creation received the way the revelation from Allah
subhanho wa Taala. Also panelists will open one early they'll be an abdomen holder. If you were
somebody who was harsh, had a hard heart, the Sahaba who were the best of all nations after the
province, they would have left from being around you.
		
00:42:32 --> 00:42:43
			If you were that, that have that he's not that and that's why he had an impact and is down have a
nice approach. When you give somebody advice, one of the Forgotten students that we have as to what
		
00:42:45 --> 00:42:47
			Smile, smile.
		
00:42:48 --> 00:42:54
			I was giving a lecture at a mall and Potter about Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam
		
00:42:55 --> 00:43:08
			It was a week teaching the Muslim to the non Muslims about Rasulullah sallallahu. And we had
Mashallah Abdur Rahim greed and use it as all these muscle shifts and dyes were coming to give
lectures. And they put me in the middle. They told me to give my talk in Arabic.
		
00:43:09 --> 00:43:19
			So they gave an English Why can I give it in English? They want to do something different from the
law. So I gave my talk in Arabic. Nonetheless, the questions came at the end and one of the sisters
asked me she said
		
00:43:21 --> 00:43:26
			there's a problem with some practicing Muslims as well. They don't smile.
		
00:43:27 --> 00:43:28
			They don't smile.
		
00:43:29 --> 00:43:41
			As if it's a problem that a lot of a lot of people this want to become very serious. forgetting that
it's the Sunnah of Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam to smile, and look at the effect the smile has upon
people.
		
00:43:42 --> 00:44:02
			Look at how the Sahaba described Rasulullah sallallahu sallam. One of them said that I never saw
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam in lamb up to Sema except that he was smiling. The province of
less lm he said smile. And the smile in the face of your brother is a form of sonata form a charity
lft center.
		
00:44:03 --> 00:44:19
			You see whether you smile. The effect it has is amazing. One of the shifts told a story about when
he was traveling to a country in South America. And he's sitting on the plane and he doesn't have
much English, please No thank you. Water,
		
00:44:20 --> 00:44:24
			Pepsi, whatever he wants, he can basic English.
		
00:44:25 --> 00:44:29
			So he said every time the
		
00:44:30 --> 00:44:59
			steward according to steward is the Manage steward you call him Oregon. And it was the cabin crew
from the guy who was coming to the management walking past him. He said every time he walked past I
would smile. at him the law. I made myself busy on the plane because a 14 hour plane trip should
have my books had this my laptop I'm working every time you walk past a smile. If I want something I
say water please smile. He said as I was getting off the plane. The man came to me and said
		
00:45:01 --> 00:45:15
			Thank you. Thank you very much, which is usually it's usually the opposite around right? You usually
thank them for their service, right? So as he said, Why are you thinking me? Thank you for for what?
And he said, Thank you for your smile.
		
00:45:16 --> 00:45:21
			And he said my knee and my intention was, as he sees me this big beard Oh with his big beard.
		
00:45:22 --> 00:45:32
			And he sees those crazy guys on TV now, who's supposed to represent Islam? He's gonna say to you,
oh, no, no, no, because I was with one of the Muslims on the plane. And he was very nice, very kind,
always smiling.
		
00:45:34 --> 00:45:37
			And it's affected him by the beauty of Islam to smiling.
		
00:45:38 --> 00:45:54
			Back to we work, a lot of people now they go into attack mode. I want to prove that your religion is
wrong. Oh, you're a Buddhist, I'm going to prove to you that that is wrong right away. And somebody
comes to you and what? Christian Hindu, I want to attack.
		
00:45:55 --> 00:46:06
			And we've seen some of the famous days who became famous around the world. This is the style that
they chose to use it down. And this goes against the teachings of the Quran.
		
00:46:08 --> 00:46:15
			Pay attention, don't take somebody he gives him a debate and he's refuting and sled and slammed
slamming them down on the ground.
		
00:46:17 --> 00:46:27
			And we as Muslims, sometimes we like this, though, because it was the we were victorious in the
debate that will power this is it given the power give it a knockout punch. The worst way to get
down, trust me.
		
00:46:29 --> 00:46:53
			And it goes against the teachings of the Quran. Allah subhana wa tada said, will add to soup Bula
DNA their own Amazonia do not curse those who make dua to other parties. What why, for us to below,
they will come back and they will curse the last panel Tada. The same thing, if you're coming to
somebody and relating to them, a Muslim, you would advise him to stay away from evil and you attack,
he goes into defense mode.
		
00:46:54 --> 00:47:16
			You go to the non Muslim and you attack defense mode. So even if he's not really certain and what he
has or doesn't, he might hold on to it. Somebody who's doing sins as a Muslim, and you attack and
you're harsh. He might want to leave this in. But because of the way you approached him and how rude
you were and how tough you were, he wants to hold tighter to it. So never go that style.
		
00:47:18 --> 00:47:27
			After that, the next thing we need to be aware of when you're giving down a lot of times to non
Muslims. A lot of times they come with what
		
00:47:28 --> 00:47:30
			difficult questions.
		
00:47:32 --> 00:47:34
			The first thing you want to know about Islam is what?
		
00:47:35 --> 00:47:38
			There's four main questions they're gonna ask about maybe five today.
		
00:47:40 --> 00:47:48
			They want to come to ask you about these these questions which are on their minds, because they're
seeing certain things in the media. What are the main things that non Muslims ask about?
		
00:47:51 --> 00:47:52
			What is it?
		
00:47:54 --> 00:47:55
			Nobody gives that nobody knows what esquel
		
00:47:56 --> 00:48:01
			jihad. And you can add on to that. Today ISIS as well.
		
00:48:03 --> 00:48:04
			What else do they ask about?
		
00:48:05 --> 00:48:06
			polygamy?
		
00:48:07 --> 00:48:17
			these are these are the main things. They always ask about the polygamy and Jihad and this these are
some of the main questions that will come along some other things. So these are the type of things
they're going to come with.
		
00:48:18 --> 00:48:25
			But what is the benefit? Now what happens is brothers want to prove for example, polygamy is
correct.
		
00:48:26 --> 00:48:27
			If you're talking to a man,
		
00:48:29 --> 00:48:47
			most likely it's not difficult to convince him and give him down. Even some things No, no, no, I'm
with you guys on this is the one is the thing I like about Islam. This is this is cool. And I give
this to you know, you're talking to a woman, you want to convince her. We can't give us the sisters
and Muslim sisters asking you're gonna give us a non Muslim about polygamy.
		
00:48:49 --> 00:49:01
			And what happens? You see them start debating about these things debating, debating debating, and
sometimes people get upset and and you're actually causing more harm than good. So never open the
door
		
00:49:02 --> 00:49:05
			to debate about issues. But if they come and they ask,
		
00:49:07 --> 00:49:15
			we're going to take this as an opportunity to give them down to what Islam really means. Be polite.
No, say no. I'm not gonna answer that. No.
		
00:49:16 --> 00:49:37
			Say No. Say it's a very interesting question. We're smiling. Right? We agree we're going to be
smiling. It'd be nice. So that's a very interesting question. However, in order to understand this,
you need to understand the concept of Islam, the basics of Islam, you understand what Islam means?
Do you have a few minutes me to explain to you what this means? If it's somebody who really wants to
know, what are they going to do?
		
00:49:39 --> 00:49:52
			Yes, I'll take a few minutes. If somebody wants to come and debate with you, and attack Islam, it's
not really a benefit, standing there debating with them anyways. So very interesting question. They
come to you say, why do you have a big beard?
		
00:49:54 --> 00:49:57
			Because it's the sooner because if you're a man, you have a beard
		
00:49:59 --> 00:49:59
			because we're not women.
		
00:50:02 --> 00:50:23
			This might be something negative to him right away. You can use that later to explain to him when
you come back to this question, but we know we're gonna use that as an opportunity to say, that's a
very interesting question. Maybe you wondered yourself before you were Muslim, or this while these
guys have these big beards? What is it? safe to understand that you need to understand the concept
of Islam, the base of Islam? Do you have a few minutes? Why does the woman cover?
		
00:50:24 --> 00:50:44
			Why does she cover her face? Why does she cover her hair? What is this? What is it behind? It's
interesting question. But to understand this, you have to understand the concept of of Islam, which
is still here, which is the law, which is submission. Once you understand that, you understand that
this woman who's covering herself, or the man who has this bid submission to Allah subhana wa,
		
00:50:45 --> 00:50:55
			this is what Islam means. We're taking back to the foundation of the religion and giving Dawa. But
these side conversation and debates will lie, they never end in good usually.
		
00:50:57 --> 00:51:02
			not usually to convince them anyways, once they understand where you're coming from, because they
have to see things like you see
		
00:51:04 --> 00:51:14
			it for them to be able to stand some of the things that they have issues, they have problems
understanding you, they need to understand the world and see it through the same glasses that you're
seeing it.
		
00:51:16 --> 00:51:19
			If they can't see through the same glasses you're wearing, it's going to be different.
		
00:51:22 --> 00:51:25
			We have to realize, people if you're not seeing it the same way you're seeing
		
00:51:27 --> 00:51:30
			it's a problem. Most time when Muslims you come to some care.
		
00:51:31 --> 00:51:33
			Allah says this says
		
00:51:35 --> 00:51:41
			they give him you know, they can't really say anything. But for them, no, they don't believe this
right away. So it's not gonna know we say this, because the law said this in the Koran.
		
00:51:43 --> 00:51:54
			They're not gonna understand this, you need to go back and take it to the foundation, right away of
the concept of Islam. And the issue. So you bring everything back to to heat. And this is the
foundation of our dour.
		
00:51:56 --> 00:51:57
			So he then I hit a lot.
		
00:51:58 --> 00:52:35
			A lot of people don't want to focus on other things, the scientific facts proven in the Quran. And
we Oh, let's get down to this. Is this beneficial? No doubt, it's awesome. Because we can prove that
revelation we follow the Quran is true. There's no way these facts could have been there 1400 years
ago, it's impossible. It has to be a book of truth. But we're not going to start with that we're
going to take it to the foundation, because the main elements, the main difference that we have with
other religions, this is it. This is it, if you come to them with some historical facts, things
proving the point on this, that's very interesting, that might show that your book is the truth, but
		
00:52:35 --> 00:52:56
			why would he change? Why would he change his religion? But the main difference is not that the main
difference is the issue of tawheed. The monotheism the oneness of Allah subhanho wa Taala. No other
religion in the world has except for us. This is what makes us special with Omar La ilaha illAllah,
Muhammad Rasul Allah. So when you take it back to the foundations
		
00:52:57 --> 00:53:07
			and once we do that, what are the foundations we need to how do we focus? Very interesting. I'm not
here today, by the way to reinvent the wheel.
		
00:53:08 --> 00:53:15
			I'm here to give a reminder. And I'm somebody who I benefit from my brothers who work in the field
of dowel. myself, I'm a teacher.
		
00:53:16 --> 00:53:32
			I specialize in Fibonacci then testing these things. And I studied several years in Medina. That's
what I teach the Muslims. When I give Dawa I look at my brothers who are giving Dawa once I told
you, those top 10 or whoever they are, what made them successful? Some of our brothers came together
		
00:53:34 --> 00:53:37
			and they found the most effective theory and giving Dawa
		
00:53:39 --> 00:53:40
			is the go rap theory
		
00:53:41 --> 00:53:43
			Oh people heard a bad word I like rap.
		
00:53:46 --> 00:53:48
			What does go rap mean?
		
00:53:49 --> 00:53:50
			The go rap theory.
		
00:53:51 --> 00:53:53
			Has anybody ever studied go rap before?
		
00:53:54 --> 00:53:55
			You studied it?
		
00:53:56 --> 00:54:26
			If you didn't study it today inshallah join the mission Neela go to mission Tao calm today when you
go home and study the go rap theory in detail will lie. I've because I studied I studied in the
College of dour and Medina and I've looked on the ground I still think this is the best theory hands
down you can download the manual of how to give down and you can watch the videos the brothers have
done but how to get down what does it mean go wrap the brothers are still a bit upset about this you
know this whole rap thing stuff
		
00:54:28 --> 00:54:43
			you know a holy place inside whether the same but the Malaysians are so polite Mashallah to
particular nobody's singing out loud? What does it mean? Go rap? It's an abbreviation upon Don't
worry, we're not going to be rapping to you now. I'm not gonna change. No, it's not gonna happen.
		
00:54:44 --> 00:54:45
			It is
		
00:54:47 --> 00:54:55
			an abbreviation for the methodology that you need to take in the steps you need to take the
practical steps you need to take and getting down.
		
00:54:56 --> 00:54:59
			All we've been talking about now is all introductions for yourself to be prepared.
		
00:55:00 --> 00:55:01
			You're smiling.
		
00:55:02 --> 00:55:14
			Now, as you get involved into the dowel, you want to prove your point. You want to sell something,
your salesmen. What are you selling? You're trying to sell to what? Jen, I want to sell Jen,
		
00:55:16 --> 00:55:27
			I want to I want it for myself, I don't want it for you. Like the companies now what happens? The
more clients you get, the more profit you get. That's what we're doing. We're trying to get profit
for ourselves, and try to help you to get to the agenda we want to sell you.
		
00:55:28 --> 00:55:37
			So we have to make them first of all understand why what is the importance of this. And something
very beautiful. As I had the meeting of the day with Shia Hussein, and
		
00:55:39 --> 00:56:00
			I, after I left the meeting, when wrote it down something very beneficial. He said about when you
have when you present Islam to somebody else, when I Muslim, he said I always say there's three
things you need to focus on. And you guys are students, so I can ask you guys, if you guys know what
the three things are, I know what they are hamdulillah someone wrote it down. He says three things
you need to focus on when you present this lamp
		
00:56:02 --> 00:56:12
			when you want to show them what Islam is one of those three things are first of all us what that you
show them something that is
		
00:56:13 --> 00:56:15
			logical use logic.
		
00:56:16 --> 00:56:19
			And then something that is rational, and then something is practical.
		
00:56:20 --> 00:56:26
			I benefited from that went home wrote it down. And I thought about that. Something that is logical
meaning what
		
00:56:27 --> 00:56:29
			was mean logical, something that
		
00:56:30 --> 00:56:38
			makes sense. And then something that's rational, meaning what? That it's not based on the it's based
on facts.
		
00:56:39 --> 00:56:48
			You have actual evidence to prove your case. You go now and you're selling something in a company,
you say that my product is going to make you a lot of money.
		
00:56:50 --> 00:57:00
			Okay, I'm willing to invest. I have money, but show me what's the proof? What's, where's your data?
Well, I don't have any of that. I don't have any actual facts, but I believe this.
		
00:57:01 --> 00:57:02
			Who wants to invest in this now?
		
00:57:05 --> 00:57:10
			I'm not crazy. I don't know the brother, can we see if we can just fix this is nothing Okay.
		
00:57:12 --> 00:57:12
			Okay.
		
00:57:15 --> 00:57:49
			See, when you do things, they say this statement, teach somebody how to fish what? To leave forever,
give them a fish, he only eats for the day, you know, this expression, right? So I didn't know how
to put it on the brother put it on me. So I was lost to how to fix him. Then I realized how to do
it. It happens to me every time by the way, I always wear this. And I have no idea how to put it on.
Because it all gets put on me. I'm like, this is what happens after that. Like, back to what Shia
Hussein said. The first thing we'll make it logical. We make it What? rational? Something based on
facts, and then making something practical. And Islam is something for everybody has a solution for
		
00:57:49 --> 00:57:55
			everything is that something is difficult. A lot of people look at it like Yeah, but I couldn't do
it. Okay, we can do you can do
		
00:57:57 --> 00:58:07
			this, you know, the beauty of Islam. So from the beginning, if you're going to talk with somebody
say, first of all, we want to base based off our discussion on something that's logic and something
that's what
		
00:58:08 --> 00:58:27
			rational, something that's facts, not on emotions, that I'm going to base it because I'm a Muslim,
it has to be the truth. And you're saying no, because my family's not Muslim, or I can accept an
order based on facts. Once you reach that agreement, most people will agree to this. Because what
happens if you don't make this agreement, the beginning? What's going to happen to that
		
00:58:28 --> 00:58:42
			the whole debate thing is going to come back and getting into opinions. Well, I look at it like
this, okay. It's based on facts. You cannot do a one opening gelatin, like, after that when I go to
the G.
		
00:58:43 --> 00:58:44
			What is the G stand for?
		
00:58:46 --> 00:58:47
			And go rap.
		
00:58:51 --> 00:58:51
			God,
		
00:58:53 --> 00:58:54
			meaning the existence of God,
		
00:58:55 --> 00:58:58
			and depends which country you're from, and
		
00:58:59 --> 00:59:08
			who are the people you're giving power to. Because you'll find some people who have no issue with
that they believe in Gods and always for them. But you have others who don't believe in Gods.
		
00:59:11 --> 00:59:13
			So you have to prove prove the existence of gods.
		
00:59:15 --> 00:59:17
			You have to prove that God exists. And unfortunately,
		
00:59:19 --> 00:59:20
			some people
		
00:59:21 --> 00:59:23
			even though deep down all of us know
		
00:59:24 --> 00:59:37
			any human being knows because there's a natural instinct that any human being knows that there's one
true God is greater. But some people have been lost from the vitro. So it's our it's our job to
guide them back to the path.
		
00:59:38 --> 00:59:41
			How can we prove that God exists?
		
00:59:44 --> 00:59:45
			Who can prove
		
00:59:48 --> 00:59:56
			his revelations he doesn't believe in the revelation? That is the thing if we go far away? I don't
believe in your book. I don't. He said I believe this came from him and
		
00:59:58 --> 00:59:59
			I believe that that Jesus wrote about
		
01:00:00 --> 01:00:14
			I will tell you this, I believe that Mohammed rota sofala, but this is what they might have in their
mind. So the revelation is not going to be proof right away. Later on, we come with some evidence
from the revelation that's going to help us. But in the beginning, we need to really prove it.
		
01:00:16 --> 01:00:19
			You can prove, for example, through his, his science to his creation.
		
01:00:21 --> 01:00:31
			I'm also part of what I have told us the basic fundamentals in the Quran, were they created from
nothing, or they create us, a political militia in Mohali
		
01:00:34 --> 01:01:00
			who created the heavens and earth but they have no certainty. So last one that he says in the Quran,
when you go back and look in the Quran, you find the answers to everything, we don't pay attention
to the Quran, unfortunately, to get them to start thinking about the Bucks about the creation of
Allah subhana wa is one example. You might have other ways as well, that doesn't mean it's the only
way you can use different tools. They use the proven, we can ask the question, how was the earth
greetings? How many possibilities do we have in the creation of the earth?
		
01:01:01 --> 01:01:05
			Either it was uncreated, was just there like that, or what else
		
01:01:07 --> 01:01:12
			came into existence? That it was created by
		
01:01:13 --> 01:01:15
			something else that was created.
		
01:01:17 --> 01:01:23
			It created itself, maybe. Or it was created by a group, maybe four possibilities.
		
01:01:24 --> 01:01:31
			And if you were to look at each one, logically, and debate with them, for example, without much
time, I'm gonna give you one example.
		
01:01:33 --> 01:01:36
			The second option is that it created itself.
		
01:01:39 --> 01:01:43
			Is this possible? that anything that can create itself?
		
01:01:44 --> 01:01:45
			Would you believe this?
		
01:01:47 --> 01:01:50
			Because sometimes people just wonder the things you know, no, it just happened. Let's just
		
01:01:52 --> 01:01:58
			see, let's look at some different examples you can give them for example, now, if I were to say
		
01:02:00 --> 01:02:36
			teittleman Islands, I just want their emotions very nice to man. I would say we're all human. Okay.
So now, let's say the Tumen islands. Nobody's living on it. It's a deserted island. And we want to
go explore. And as we're walking through the island, we find this Mashallah brand new iPhone six
plus, it's not a it doesn't exist anywhere in the world. And then we say what? Wow, you know, that
this iPhone over all of the years on the island, it came into existence, slowly start to form
throughout the years. And there it was, what do you believe in this?
		
01:02:37 --> 01:02:43
			For the minute you see a crazy, same thing, all of this earth, which is more complex, more in
detail?
		
01:02:44 --> 01:02:48
			All these heavens? Are we seen in front of us the skies and what's on Earth, that it just
		
01:02:49 --> 01:03:08
			came into existence? We wouldn't believe that. And also, the issue of grading itself, just as it
didn't just come into existence, you wouldn't believe they have something like the oldest laptop,
you know, the Eskimos and Alaska. They come and they found Wow, just formed itself throughout the
year. This is beautiful laptop machine, it would make sense. So that's not possible. The second
option is that it created itself.
		
01:03:11 --> 01:03:12
			Can your mother give birth to herself?
		
01:03:14 --> 01:03:46
			Is it possible for your mother to give birth herself? You guys have some doubt? Nobody said
anything? By the way? You guys are talking. That means they'll be like, let me see again. Obviously
not No way. It's impossible. The same thing with the earth. Like it was created by something else
that was greetings. You're gonna keep going back to what? What's the original? What's the original?
And the original? Has What? No, no, that's impossible. Which means what there's only one option that
was created by something that was uncreated, which is the last panel without logic, get them to
start thinking logically.
		
01:03:47 --> 01:04:21
			And also using the rationale, which is something based on facts. All of these theories are
impossible. The only one possible theory is that there's a creator. So we get them here on the same
page, do you agree and usually they have to agree. Okay, sometimes they don't see what I'm still not
but we still keep trying. And you have to realize as well, that there's no like magic thing you can
do giving download, it's going to convince everybody there's no one tool you can use this going to
work for everybody. It's going to be different each time. So you can be talking to somebody right
away, they believe somebody can come now listen to the lecture and they get up at the NSA shadow
		
01:04:23 --> 01:04:44
			another person for years you keep trying and they they rejected and then some after some years they
accept so there's no one thing you can use us all of the different tools you learn now we're here
today to remind ourselves of different tools we can use different techniques we can use in order to
hopefully inshallah have an impact. Second after that, the oneness of Allah subhana wa Tada.
		
01:04:46 --> 01:04:57
			How can we prove the oneness of Allah subhana wa tada briefly and also panels that also shows us in
the Quran by saying what, because if there's more than one guy, what happens to the earth, what it
will say in the Koran.
		
01:04:58 --> 01:04:59
			It's going to corrupt on Earth.
		
01:05:00 --> 01:05:13
			It's gonna cause chaos on Earth. Any company in the world? How many CEOs do you have? One as well?
How many presidents do you have? One? How many Prime Ministers you have? One. So he's a mighty
people under him.
		
01:05:14 --> 01:05:18
			But nonetheless, it has to go back to one at the end. What's going to happen? If it doesn't?
		
01:05:19 --> 01:05:30
			It's chaos. A football team now, a football team? How many coaches do you have you have assistant
coaches, but Who's the man, the coach? There, his main decision goes back to him.
		
01:05:31 --> 01:06:04
			And as well if there's more than one God, it's gonna be chaos. So there can only be one guy, the
only only part of it is one of the the things you can use to prove the oneness of Allah subhanaw
taala. And that leads us to the art we have very limited time. By the way, this this, this course
will take us a whole day of what to go in detail. The are because the brothers still have musician
does the rap thing. It's confusing for the brothers and brothers still no. So we have the G God and
the O for what? oneness, and the our four words. Revelation, now we come to you to your tool. In
Step three, that's step one, the revelation.
		
01:06:06 --> 01:06:10
			Okay, we know now that God exists, we know that
		
01:06:11 --> 01:06:20
			he's one, and he's the only one has the right to be worshipped. We've agreed upon this. And always,
as you're talking to somebody, try to get the agreement. Do you agree with what I'm saying?
		
01:06:21 --> 01:06:50
			What do they say? usually have to say yes, they might say, Well, I don't know how not to force him
to look, you have to agree, or the conversation stops. Now. You have to agree Are we going to take
things to the next that we're gonna hand it American style, we'll go outside now, like two men know,
if they agree on that they don't they don't use but they keep going. That's also good. Because maybe
in the beginning, it was something maybe will come down something to Revelation and like, Oh, yeah.
And something will kick in earlier. And they'll start to come to agreement with you in
Charlottetown.
		
01:06:52 --> 01:06:54
			So this the RS board revelation,
		
01:06:55 --> 01:07:26
			we have so many facts in the Quran that prove this is a revelation of how from who from Allah
subhana wa Tada. We have proved that it can only be from Allah couldn't be from anybody else. So we
prove the revelation. And we show them the importance that we are in need, and we know laws existed.
We don't exist. We know that he's one. How do we do things in life? Which direction do we go? We
need a revelation from Allah subhanho wa Taala. Just like a manual. Now, if you want to know how to
use your phone, or the things in your car, and what do you need new the manual.
		
01:07:27 --> 01:07:29
			And who's going to bring that manual to you.
		
01:07:31 --> 01:07:35
			The a, by the way, is just as you said, Arabic horrible.
		
01:07:37 --> 01:07:52
			Which is just something an end. And it's something it means nothing and don't just do it. You can
keep the theory in your head, it's four steps, the G the O the R fibrillation, and it's this part
actually. But the P is what?
		
01:07:54 --> 01:08:18
			For the prophethood knew the profits, the profit from Allah subhana wa husen profits to all of
mankind. He's the one who came with that revelation, who is our Prophet alayhi salaatu wa Salaam,
Mohammed says that we opened up the doors to Mr. Mohammed subversively explaining who he was, what
was his message. So that is the go wrap theory. And voila, he This is the best way. If you go
online, and you watch it,
		
01:08:20 --> 01:08:56
			the best way to give down the brothers and the UK, they came together with all of their years of
experience. And as they always say, 60 years of experience the other. You look at some of the like
abderrahim Green, you don't have 60 How long you been Muslim 60 years of experience. It's not just
his experience. It's the spirits with all of the brothers that sit with a duality like this, this is
the most effective way to get down. Like I said, there's other things you can add. There's other
personal things you might benefit, something that Shia Hussein mentioned, very important, which I
didn't think about. He said, also knowing
		
01:08:57 --> 01:09:30
			the environment you live in, because I can come here now and starting to think maybe it doesn't work
in Malaysia, maybe there's a better tool you can use in Malaysia, maybe there's something very
important Malaysia you need to focus on that me in the West, or wherever I travel, I wouldn't focus
on this. So also, knowing the environment is very, very important to giving down with knowing your
people knowing what to do and know what not to do. He mentioned something very interesting about the
people except that Islam, then never heard all my years of traveling and giving Dawa and lecturing
and talking to non Muslims never heard in my life that he likes to do what when someone wants to
		
01:09:30 --> 01:09:33
			accept Islam to call their family and
		
01:09:34 --> 01:09:44
			for them to witness if she had anything in the way that's going to make him go farther away. But he
said it makes the transition much easier for us. That's amazing Mashallah, I never heard that in my
life. I've benefited that
		
01:09:46 --> 01:09:48
			somebody that he said this works for us here.
		
01:09:49 --> 01:09:59
			Okay, because they have misconceptions about the Muslims about this. So now they feel good. They
there's hasn't been a spell cast upon their son or their daughter. He's actually entering Islam
because it's something he believes
		
01:10:00 --> 01:10:09
			So handlers is something, this is a way that it works here, perhaps, where I'm from maybe doesn't
work, but you needed to know the tools you use in your country. And at the end.
		
01:10:10 --> 01:10:37
			Like we mentioned today, in the beginning, we talked about the important fundamentals, the
foundation that you need as a DI to be successful in your data. And then some of the techniques, we
brushed up on it very, very briefly because we don't have a lot of time that we said this is a
course there's a day course and we're talking about we've done an hour in about an hour a crash
course as they call it home Villa, hopefully inshallah, they will have a lot of good benefit. That
was said at the end. Remember, that the he died? The guidance,
		
01:10:38 --> 01:10:39
			who gives true guidance
		
01:10:41 --> 01:10:42
			almost upon
		
01:10:44 --> 01:11:05
			Allah subhana wa tada said to the prophets, that Allahu Allah, he was similar in color that the man
above Moloch in the law, you have the mission, you don't guide who you choose, but Verily Allah
guide so he chooses, always remember that. What do we do as days, we plant seeds, we're farmers, be
proud to be a farmer.
		
01:11:07 --> 01:11:27
			We're planting seeds all we do with other people, we plant seeds, we go and plant seeds, perhaps,
versus some some some beautiful growth from that seed. So beautiful fruits from that seed. But
perhaps it won't grow. And we stand in front of a loyalty ama and Allah asked us, what did you do to
fulfill this duty?
		
01:11:28 --> 01:11:47
			of calling? Did you not hear me in the Quran? tenido call to Islam? Did you not hear the message of
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam when he told his alma Bella avani Well, I relayed the message
even if it's just one verse. See, I knew that I knew the Hadith. How many eyes Did you tell people?
How many things did you tell people? What is that?
		
01:11:50 --> 01:11:58
			That doesn't mean something has to accept me pay attention that look at the teachings of Rasulullah
sallallahu wasallam was amaura B was the
		
01:12:00 --> 01:12:22
			one who gives therapy teaches trains his followers, anything you might face in life, you'll find it
in the Quran you'll find it in the state of Georgia. Well, Sumo says lm said about the nebby. The
Nabhi the profits? Is there anybody better in this in the world and history than the profits? The
top of the top the cream of the crop?
		
01:12:24 --> 01:12:35
			All of the profits? He said the profits, some profits will come your middle tiama profit, His
revelation ye from a law? Do any of us have ye from Allah subhanaw taala.
		
01:12:36 --> 01:12:46
			When you have the one of the two feet, I was one that blesses you with things he doesn't bless the
normal people with. They have a revelation from Allah. He said the Nabhi will come your piano.
		
01:12:47 --> 01:12:48
			You have two followers.
		
01:12:50 --> 01:12:55
			His two followers. He said another one will come he has one follower and another Nabhi will come who
has no followers.
		
01:12:57 --> 01:13:11
			But what did he do? He planted the seeds. He relayed the message he fulfilled his duty. So that's
what we need to do in shadow Tyler as Muslims is to plant the seeds and a lot of those best Allahu
Allah was the lowest seller Mubarak and Mohammed, which is a pharaoh
