Abdur-Raheem McCarthy – Lessons From Khabib (The3Muslims Podcast) Ep. 25 Trailer

			Don't judge a book by its cover. Because right away MMA fighter hitting face haram, the guy is no
good. You know, you just cross them out, right? The Muslims have become very weak. The Muslims don't
respect themselves, the Muslims don't honor themselves. So here came a man from the mountains of
Dugu Stan, you know, and a very simple man who came and revived many of these principles in the life
of the Muslims, and any taught you know, that's one of the great things he taught the Muslims, that
you can excel in something because Islam wants us to Excel. This is one of the teaching of Islam.
And Allah you hate boo, either. I mean, I had to come Amazon on YouTube, you know, so the Hadith,
		

			the promises, that oh loves when you do something that you perfect, if you see he perfected what he
does, and he perfected it, but it didn't change him also wanted one of the teachings of Islam, also
one of the ways of, of the setup of the pious predecessors, the early any, you know, members of the
Ummah, from the Sahaba and early generation of the Muslims, the honor, and not being shy, not
compromising it. We talked about this before as well about the Muslims who are too shy to practice
their faith, the ones who will always always want to compromise and, and do things that are haram in
order to please other people. And he looked out for this, the clip that went, you know, went around
		

			recently about him not shaking hands, we've seen it several times, but he doesn't shake hands, and
not compromise. And this is what our religion teaches. We don't shake hands with the opposite
gender, in that not compromising. I remember and the husband mentioned some things. You know, we
always made it clear that his faith came first UFC 200 Which at that time was the biggest ever, you
know, it was the biggest event. It was Ramadan. He was like no, I'm not taking part in it. He was
very clear, wasn't willing to compromise even though he needed that stepping stone in his career
during that time. That's one of the biggest stepping stones for him would have been USD 200. But he
		

			refused to take part because it was in Ramadan reporter said and he had sent him a summary command
whiskey, like in the same sentence. And he stopped them and he said don't don't say those two
together. Said I'm gonna go and listen almost even though
		

			what do we say that something in the report, it didn't mean anything negative by it, right? But he
said just don't mix those two words together. And he was always interested in it. He's not shy to
explain how we believe in always attaching to Allah subhanaw taala. And Rosanna says it's a lie No,
and is saying hamdulillah and how many people around the world now from the non Muslims, they know
the word hamdulillah and they know the meaning of it. And how you spread that word through any
throughout the world. He's done that as well. And showing us as Muslims how we should be built to be
proud of religion, and to stand up any for our religion. You know, you see him with his worship is
		

			constantly making dua to Allah subhanaw taala you see him when he's in the dojo praying is training
it and stop him from from getting up to pray. You see, when he's he's chilling out hanging out with
his friends. You see what his little is? The thought that they were in the house a lot of the times
in the Arab countries he has still been hanging out with with with with his brothers, and he's
praying, he leaves them last time in the prayer Mashallah. So and so you see, this is what you need
this how the Muslim needs to be, I talk to you guys about this before, when you respect yourself and
you respect really increases the respect for the people in their hearts for you. Even if they don't
		

			like what you're doing. Even if they disagree. Even if somebody if they hate what you're doing,
you'll you'll still find that they have a form of respect for you. Subhanallah Eileen, I think a lot
had to do with fear of his father. Again, he has he mentioned in the interview, may Allah have mercy
upon his father, but I need SubhanAllah. So that he respect and that's also one of the lessons
Magister great lesson for our youth today. When it comes to, you know, respecting your mother and
your father. We know the status that Islam gives to them. But,
		

			you know, where are we when it comes to the artists, all of us, especially the youth nowadays, you
know, once you grew up in the West, especially even farther away because the society is so anti
family, you know, it's just doesn't have family values anymore. But you see how it can be just as
Father, how emotionally was the impact he had on his life, the respect he had from the theory I had
for him when he made that when he jumped over that cage. He said the thing is about going back home
now it's it's not the UFC who scares me, it's not losing $500,000 in a fight, is it going home to
face his dad? This is what this was the fear that he had of his dad when he was on the top of the
		

			world 2019 know, his father's dream to a 30 know what his mother said this is the last one look at
the respect right there. He took it to another level with his mother Subhanallah that's just an
amazing lesson. I mean, you can we can go on and on about the things that you can benefit and that's
why I said from the beginning of the whole bus look, issue hitting in the face between him and ALLAH
SubhanA wa Tada you know, some of the some of the brothers who, who I'm friends with on Facebook,
who are you know, professional fighters and this you know, that's
		

			between them and Allah No, but they're my brothers and I like the brothers who have that that, you
know, that is the out of the proud to be Muslims. You know, the they make it clear that yes, I'm a
fighter but I'm a Muslim and hamdulillah they think that's beautiful. They will we should support
them for that aspect and that supporting if there are some haram like I said between no loss of
health and I'm not going to come because I like MMA because I like you know this guy Oh, it's not
that hard on brother. Mashallah, you know, no, that's not that's not my approach. So what you're
doing is not correct. But the other aspects you're doing I'm dilemma, I have to applaud you for
		

			that. And you're, you're my brother, I'm gonna stand by you. And it because of that at home, the
relaxed plaudit man, and how many people would reach that level, they will go straight. We sit back
now on our couches, and we talk Oh, man, if you were to reach that level of success, and you had
that much money and that much fitna, in front of you, you think you will be devoted?
		

			You might say now, but the reality though if you had all those women who say man, no, no, I would I
wouldn't be involved with something like that. You have the women throwing themselves at you, man.
You can have all the women you want with that success and that money in their fame.
		

			But yet someone stays devoted to his wife and fears Allah subhana wa Tada. Is that not to be
applauded and humbling.
