			To help them find solutions for financial stability.
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:10
			Likewise, it's not just for that, but it's
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:12
			for personal needs.
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:14
			If someone is experiencing difficulty in providing for
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:16
			their family, it's got nothing to...
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:17
			I mean, it's gonna have something to do
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:19
			with your job, but it could be, you
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:21
			might be self-employed.
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:23
			You might be trying to do your own
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:26
			little, you know, halal side hustle or something.
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:28
			And it's just providing difficulty.
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:31
			It's just, I think Razaq, Ya Razaq, Ya
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:33
			Razaq, Ya Razaq, is something that I think
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			a lot of people need to be doing
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:37
			today because a lot of people are struggling
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			with the way inflation is going, the way
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:42
			things have become so much more expensive in
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:43
			the last five years.
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:44
			I don't know where things are going.
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:47
			This modern economical system does not work.
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:50
			The way it's trained to be, the way
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:52
			it's designed to be, is that your thousand
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:57
			pound from two years ago, what you could
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:58
			have bought two years ago with your a
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00
			thousand pound two years ago in your bank,
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:02
			you couldn't buy that last year.
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:05
			And this year, it's worth even less than
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:06
			that.
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:10
			So, it's designed to, if you save any
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:13
			money, it's actually designed to just, because of
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:15
			inflation and other things, it's designed to become
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:16
			more devalued.
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:18
			And everybody's stuck in that system.
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:20
			Pretty much everybody's stuck in that system.
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:23
			Except the few people who buy gold and
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:26
			crypto coin, I mean, Bitcoin and so on.
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:31
			Bitcoin is actually trying to go against that.
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:35
			Bitcoin is trying to stabilize that.
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:38
			I know it's had lots of fluctuation because
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:42
			of its initial introduction in the market and
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:42
			so on.
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:45
			But otherwise, Bitcoin is an antithesis to that
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			because it's limited.
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50
			Governments can't produce, or nobody can produce more
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:53
			of Bitcoin except the limited amount that they
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:53
			have designed.
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:58
			Whereas governments can produce more money, there's more
		
00:01:58 --> 00:01:59
			money in the market.
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:01
			Because there's more money in the market, people
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:02
			can buy more.
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:05
			So, people have to produce more and then
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:08
			the supply just increases and prices increase.
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:14
			So, a lot of people are finding a
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:15
			lot of difficulty.
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:18
			Holding two jobs, there's people crying even with
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:20
			two jobs, husband and wife both working.
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:22
			Of course, some of it is to do
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:24
			with lifestyle decisions.
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			What the way they've chosen to live, what
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:28
			kind of furniture they've chosen to have, what
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30
			kind of gadgets they think they need, what
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
			kind of holidays they have to take.
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:35
			So, one has to be very careful.
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:37
			So, personal needs, Ya Razzaq, we need Ya
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:38
			Razzaq.
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:40
			We need Ya Razzaq, Ya Razzaq.
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:43
			The point of a lecture is to encourage
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:46
			people to act, to get further, an inspiration,
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:49
			an encouragement, persuasion.
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:51
			The next step is to actually start learning
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:55
			seriously, to read books, to take on a
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:57
			subject of Islam and to understand all the
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:59
			subjects of Islam at least at their basic
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:01
			level so that we can become more aware
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:02
			of what our deen wants from us.
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:06
			And that's why we started Rayyan courses so
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:10
			that you can actually take organized lectures on
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:11
			demand whenever you have free time.
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:16
			Especially, for example, the Islamic Essentials course that
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:18
			we have on there, the Islamic Essentials Certificate
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:21
			which you take 20 short modules.
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:23
			And at the end of that, Inshallah, you
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:27
			will have gotten the basics of most of
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:29
			the most important topics in Islam and you'll
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:30
			feel a lot more confident.
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:31
			You don't have to leave lectures behind.
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:34
			You can continue to listen to lectures but
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:36
			you need to have this more sustained study
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:37
			as well.
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:40
			Jazakallah Khair Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
