Allah subhanaw taala says in the Quran that there are three
categories of people, I mean, who mocked acid, or in combining
Malinowski, there are those who are on the middle path, there are
those who have accomplished great, and there are also those who are
oppressing themselves. And you will see this in every group. A
lot of the time what happens with people of one group is that they
will folk if they want to denigrate people of another group,
they will focus on the worst of that group.
Like this sectarian problems or any other group problems that we
have or tribal problems or whatever may be the case. What
generally happens is that we will generally focus on the worst of
the other group and say, look at that, as though the group is
bringing down That's just human nature that this is what happens.
Unless of course, you see that the ideology of a particular group
creates a particular weakness or a defect in everybody that's a
different story.
Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi wa salatu salam ala
say you did mousseline whiner earlier he will stop me he he
married a man back. We're going through
all of the rights that
each one of us has over
another
and rates that
we have to fulfill for each other. This is Imam Shah, Ronnie's
suggestions and his recommendations. So then, the
second one is women have killed archaeology. And young in my era,
meanwhile, are watching Minitor when Jamila onken The intermediate
that Whelan Raja, Allah and FC he belong
maybe sometimes difficult to do. But once you practice this, and
you change your outlook, this is actually possible. For a lot of
people that thing How do you do this, what he's saying is that
whatever you see of your brother,
especially something that doesn't seem to be so perfect, then you
try to give it the best possible interpretation.
You try to spin it in the best way people do evil spinning outside
all the time, you know, be a politician, although just do it
positively. So give everything a positive spin and there's always a
possibility for a positive spin. And try to look at everything in
the best possible manner
Jameela uncle as positively as possible
for in the music that we learn, sometimes you are going to run up
against the wall, and you just can't find any way to extract your
brother from the
the defect that you are noticing. You can't put a positive spin you
can't seem to find a good opinion or a good interpretation. Then in
that case, he says if you don't find something like that, Raja
Allah enough See he belongs then just blame yourself for being
for being unable to do so.
Like I wish I could have seen this in a better light and blame
yourself for it that I wish I could have been more positive
about this. So when a person is always trying to act positively
and censoring oneself and reproaching oneself for not being
positive, then inshallah positivity will come about. He
then says that
one of his teachers Ibrahim at the Suki Rahim Allah, in one of his
councils in his Wasa, it mentioned that Latin guru either a compiler
who will arriba WHO, WHAT ARE Toriyama who, what a shadow.
don't censor your brother for his different states. Don't Don't
reproach him, Don't accuse him for his different states, whether that
be in terms of his garments, his clothing, wearing some strange
clothing was strange garments, or his food,
his dress, his hairstyle, his drink, whatever it may be, because
when you start reproaching somebody about these small minor
things like this, you recall why Shatta Wale in Quito Anila heater
Ira then your focus changes you it creates. Number one a disquietude
and a balloon. It creates a problem in between because it
muddies the water in between because you're looking at
something negative negativity has that idea even the self care
experts self eating experts will constantly telling you think
positively. This is what the Sharia tells you to think
positively in general. And it will also cut you away from Allah
subhanho wa Taala Allah subhanho wa Taala is good. Allah is Jamil
where your hibel Jamal, Allah subhanho wa Taala is excellent and
elegant and beautiful. And he loves elegance, excellence and
beauty. So as long as you can extract beauty out of anything,
then that is what we should be doing well
In Colorado, in Tacoma Huron Salahi Cherie and moto hora. And
he says at the end of the day, what the person is doing in terms
of the weird clothing he might have on,
or the weird hairstyle or food or clothing or drink, as long as it's
not haram, as long as it's not something prohibited in the
Sharia. As long as it's not something that has been considered
unlawful in the pod, then after that, you can't reproach somebody
for that.
You can't reproach somebody for that. And then he says something
very important. And if we can understand this, I think this is
the crux of this whole point. And it really enlightens us, it really
gives a very good understanding of how to understand especially how
to work with your own family members, your own
people at work or anywhere else for that matter. He says, because
for in the NASA hustle, will hustle house will move to the
woman dahin or moto Chabane Momota hockey team will cover Eulalia the
rattle Mashima dive waxy wala with Dara Yarraman, Belga, Bilbao. He
says, Because among people, if you take a assessment of people, there
are the elect among people, the high level ones, then there is the
hustle house, there's the elect of the elect, the very special
people, meaning those who've really been able to be particular
about their faith, you know, so there's the particular ones, and
there's the very particular ones. And then he says, there's also the
beginners, there's also the advanced, there's also those who
are just trying to impersonate others, we're trying their best.
And there are also those who have actualized, and who who've reached
and who've accomplished, and then he says, The going, the one who's
spiritually stronger, and more powerful, or higher level, is
unable to walk and keep up with the weak one. The strong one is
unable to keep up with the weak one. And likewise the opposite.
The weak one is unable to keep up with the strong one. It's going to
be the case if you're traveling together one is spiritually much
stronger and he's doing extra Nawab feel and everything and the
other one wants to carry on he's done his forehead only and his you
know, too soon. But in suffered, you don't have to do your Sunday
in journeys you don't have to do Sunday if you're in a hurry. But
one insists on doing his sunnah and his issue aka no often and the
110 minutes of vicar and so on as well. He's way advanced. And he's
comfortable with that. It doesn't matter how long it takes, the
other one just wants to move on, move on, move on, you're not going
to be able to keep up. But understand that that not everybody
is like you. So don't stop criticizing people. As long as
they're doing the basics of their Deen don't criticize people for no
reason. Over and above that.
arbitrarily, of course, if you're trying to help somebody, it's a
different story. But arbitrarily don't just keep your eyes just
pretend to overlook it. You can't see it.
And then he says, And the wonderful thing is that Allah
subhanaw taala has mercy on some people by virtue of others. So at
the end of the day, this mix that we have, this is by the same
thing, that Allah subhanho wa taala, he gives Baraka due to the
weak people to the strong, due to the Allah gives Baraka because of
the young people to the old, to the very old, by by virtue of the
very old to the middle aged, Allah subhanho wa Taala chooses
different people. And he uses some to spread the baraka and the mercy
upon others.
Allah subhanaw taala says in the Quran that there are three
categories of people mean hooked acid, or in combining will NFC,
there are those who are on the middle path, there are those who
have accomplished great, and there are also those who are oppressing
themselves. And you will see this in every group. A lot of the time,
what happens with people of one group is that they will folk if
they want to denigrate people of another group, they will focus on
the worst of that group.
Like this sectarian problems or any other group problems that we
have, or tribal problems, or whatever may be the case, what
generally happens is that we will generally focus on the worst of
the other group and say, look at that, as though the group is
bringing that up. That's just human nature that this is what
happens. Unless, of course, you see that the ideology of a
particular group creates a particular weakness or a defect in
everybody. That's a different story.
A lot of the time what we do is we compare
non Muslim ideas or cultures or trends with the Islamic ideal, not
with Muslims. We compare non Muslim fashions of the day. We
compare that to sahabi, a companion or a big scholar, not
with the state of Muslims today. Do you understand and then we try
to show
Islam is superior because of that. It's not superior because of that
it's superior as it is, it's got its own ways, but one needs to
follow it. So it's not a very straightforward comparison that we
do a lot of the time, we take the worst of another group, and we
show the best of ours. And we try to compare it like that, you can't
make comparisons like that, that doesn't deny the point that there
is great good here, or that it's the best or the most excellent, or
it's God given or divine. That's not the point. That's not That's
not we're trying not to deny that, but we're trying to say is that
when you make a comparison, be fair in your comparison. But going
back to this point, the point is that look positively as as many
things as possible, and inshallah this will really, really create
harmony between us. That's why this thing about quickly
criticizing people in a hurry on any small thing that you see on
the apparent face of something that's very, very dangerous.
That's very dangerous for just generally general brotherly love,
and harmony between people in general, and just people in
general, this is very important that a person doesn't do that.
Because people are of different categories and different levels
and different states. And we need to understand that that diversity,
we have to be able to deal with it.
A lot of people, they become pious, righteous,
they suddenly have illumination, they suddenly become practicing,
then they want everybody to walk along with them. They want
everybody to be illuminated. At the same time. If you do, ask
Allah for that, don't get angry, and people say, Why don't you get
up to my status? Why don't you do the same thing that I'm doing now?
I've put my TV away. Why don't you do the same thing, I've stopped
watching all of this film, you do the same thing.
It took what it took time for you to gain this inspiration, this
motivation.
So it may take time for others. A lot of the time has happened
between husband and wives who happens to be one spouse to happen
between brothers happens between parents and children, children and
parents.
So ask Allah subhanaw taala, you might say the woman will say
you're
one of the greatest of the February.
He it's mentioned about him
that he says mom and Sharif and what are the fondling in Luffy
Hinrichsen. There's no honorable individual, meaning every
honorable and individual and anybody with any kind of
distinction in this world,
every one of them will still have a defect.
So even people who see people with great honor and his generally
accepted as being an honorable individual, and a person of high
distinction. Still a person is going to have some defects, ask
his wife,
you know, ask the people close and we're going to there's going to be
some defect to the other. But the best part is this. That's a
reality. We can't do anything about that reality. That's the
thing here.
These are realities that we can't do much about, we can help in that
situation. But while I can, men can afford to work for me noxee
Wahiba, not to leave for the day. However, the one who is
distinctions is honor, his merits are better and superior and more
abundant, then his defects, then his defects become disguised in
the good points.
At the end of the day, that's what we're all going to try to achieve.
Everybody's going to have a defect. But
the more good merits that we try to create for ourselves, our bad
things will just become dissolved in that it will become hidden in
that essentially that's what it is.
And that's that's what we're trying to achieve.
About
Saeed in the mosaic Rahima. Hula is from the high debating the most
elective the targeting, and one of the greatest narrators of Hadith
as well from the sahaba. He took a lot from Abu Huraira the Allah one
for example. He took a lot from him.
And he used to exert himself a lot. He was a great worshiper. He
says this is his own statement. He says Marfa tetani three Lawton
fija Martin Mundo Barbarina. Santa
for 40 years. I haven't missed the salaat in Java.
Like he know Salah Did he miss for 40 years without congregation. He
prayed in congregation. And during his time in those early times,
there was a major problem during the those early times there was a
lot of sectarian wars, especially over Madina, Munawwara who's going
to become the governor during the time to lighteners obey and the
OMA years and so on and so forth. So at that time, I mean, you'd be
surprised about this, but they came three days when it was really
severe, and no Advan took place in Masuda nubbly
That's how bad the situation was. The Muslim could not go to West
you never want to give a damn.
So, in those days, he stayed in the masjid. He was in retreat in
the masjid. He literally like made it take off in a sense. I mean,
those days you didn't have clocks. You didn't have timetables, you're
inside. So you can't. I mean, it probably be dangerous to go out
and see the sun. So where is how does he find the time of the
prayer?
How does he find time of him? Because he seems like he's the
only one inside. He says that he used to recognize and identify the
time of the press by a sound that would come from the grave of
Rasulullah sallallahu sallam.
He died in 93 Hijiri. So this was this was his statement. It's a
very penetrating statement that everybody is going to have some
kind of defect, but the more merits you'll have your defects
will become dissolved in that in those merits. Another right this
is the third one I think that another eight that a brother has
over a brother, a yellow jeweler who women are three routes you
have to wish well for them.
One is you overlook their defects. turn a blind eye. But number two,
you wish well for people in general, every brother of yours.
When we say brother here we mean in general. We mean in general
here, Muslim brother, Muslim sister, humanity in general, we
want good for them. Your jeweler who means the rods,
we wish well for them. Well, Musa Maha, we want pardon for them,
just like we want pardon for ourselves. We want pardon for
them, who will Adobo and we also want their Toba to be accepted
just like we want our Toba to be accepted. What does that tell us?
It tells us that just like we also sin, anybody who criticizes
others, they should think to themselves haven't I got any
problems? Don't I commit sin as well? Don't I want doba? Over I do
too. Well? Don't you want doba for your brother? Don't you want
repentance to be accepted for your brother just like you want Toba to
be accepted for yourself. So that is a right that we must have
towards others that we must feel that way and have that emotion for
others. Well Oh for elemental bouncy, and Islamia my foreign
come I argue that he couldn't have seen regardless of what sins
they're committing, we went over for them just like you want for
us. Another one another right that he speaks about is Alliander Illa
zileuton Eliza let in Sabah cots. What are the actual hula hoop? I
will attend SUTI. Right.
So one another problem that we have in our communities is a
person holding a database
of everybody's past wrongs, even though they've sorted themselves
out now, people may become reformed, now maybe reformed now.
But
we remember 20 years ago, they did something bad or they were in
prison
or
the state wasn't very good, whatever the case may be. So, a
person should not look at past defects, past slips and flows. And
a person should not open up and reveal any hidden defects. You
know, that are veiled and conceal the nobody knows about a person
should not reveal them to people. Because he mentions in a hadith
and this is from the Hadith he mentions in a hadith woman mantra,
I will often for Salah gonna come in here, ooh, that data.
Anybody
know who that and recovery how anybody who conceals
some hidden defect of somebody, anybody who conceals. So this is
actively concealed. So even if somebody is about to open it up,
you are conceding it or you're trying to make an excuse for that
person. So one is you don't open it up. You don't say anything
about you keep silent. The other one is somebody wants to reveal it
or starts talking about it, you say? Normally you try to
some just kind of gloss over it somehow. you conceal it you
actively. So he says that whoever does that. Now this is not talking
about somebody's harm to others, that has to be opened up. The
Goodwill there is that you reveal to people that Be careful of this
person. That's a different situation. But this is something
that is not contagious. Somebody's own little problem that he has,
that he's working with is trying to you know try to struggle with
or whatever the case is, don't make it more difficult by making
it public conceal it. Anybody who does that the Prophet sallallahu
sallam said is like the person who brought back to life. A infant
girl buried alive.
Now an infant girl buried alive was something that was really an a
very emotional sense point of sentiment for the people of Makkah
at that time because this was
The pre Islamic Jahai, the practice of burying the daughters
alive because they felt that sons had more valued. And daughters
didn't have enough value for them that you'd have to invest and
bring them up and spend on them, and so on, so forth. And then
after they get married to somebody else, and they're gone, right,
they don't carry on your family name. You know, this is one of the
extremes of being so focused on your tribal lineage. There are
extremes in everything, when you become so engrossed in your tribal
lineage that I'm put on or am
this, that, or the other, whatever it is, I don't know why I thought
at the time right now, but you know,
anything, for that matter. And then you get so extreme about it,
that you don't want to dissolve that in any way or dilute that
anyhow, and this is one of the extremes of these things. So
Subhanallah if somebody goes against that trend, and brings
back a girl who has been oppressed in that manner, can you imagine
such a high deed that is what a great deed that is, that's just
like the profit or loss I'm saying, that is just like, if you
conceal somebody, and you conceal their defects, they flow.
The machinery say, when you say the machinery, this word machine,
I agree first, generally the spiritual scholars, scholars of
spirituality, could lumen lamea store, Allah Juan Heemeyer, all
human human and Hatha words for confetti had NFC Berber cashmere
Arathi because there are other haram in Haifa to him.
When this is the general guidance of Islam to conceal people, that's
the general guidance right? As far as possible, if that's what Allah
wants from us, that anybody who violates that, then what's going
to happen? So that's what he says that the Messiah is say that
anybody who does not conceal of their brothers, whatever faults
that they notice that they are opening for themselves a door to
their own defects being revealed.
Because if we're not actively trying to keep the balance that
Allah wants in this world, the MISA, then Allah is going to open
up the door of our defects.
Because Reema Amina half of our team, and as much as we reveal of
others, that is how much Allah will reveal of ours.
So if you don't want to do it for somebody else, at least do it for
yourself. At least think that way if, if not in a more positive way.
They also say that in our eight minute clinic, Martha, Marcia de
la Mujer, he'll be half as true. If you see somebody doing a sin,
that he is not openly doing outside. He is hiding and doing
it. Right. He's not openly and brazenly going into a pub and
drink in front of everybody and going around, you know, he's got a
problem of drinking poor game and he tries to hide it. Right? He
tries to hide it,
then don't
if you see somebody like that, then what be who who basically
admonished him privately. Contact him privately first.
He's trying to make an effort. It helps when somebody finds out
somebody tells you nicely, you know, of course you have to have
some kind of relationship here. While Amiens surgery if the person
doesn't desist
then and then if he doesn't desist it means he's going to do it in
the open then maybe tell him in front of people, but with the
intention of his welfare.
See, even if somebody does this, what shaytaan puts into the mind
is to get one over them
to somehow get some merit out of it for yourself. But no, that
should not be the intention even if you do have to open it up to
people that do it for his welfare
with the intention and the hope that inshallah he will desist and
stop doing it now.
Now one thing you have to understand he says mme a yo yo see
if you carry the V where you are, who are they for who Allah mujer
Yatta jar, as long as the person is doing it in the deep recesses
of his home, or wherever it is, that is hidden, hidden, right? And
he's closing his door, and he's not publicizing it. He's not
putting it up on Twitter the next day, or Facebook as city people do
today.
Then it means he's not openly doing it. The prophets of Allah
Islam says everybody is going to be forgiven. Except the people who
openly do this in the province that are supposed to say said,
somebody doesn't sin at night. Allah reveals it nobody finds out
and the same person openly tells everybody the next day.
What an idiot.
Before people wrote diaries and diaries were generally private.
They were only generally discovered after the death, right?
People kept diaries and they will try to keep it private and
They would only be read generally After Death. Today, the diary
becomes Facebook and Twitter. And people want people to read it.
So a lot of the honesty and it goes and the genuineness of it
goes as well. Because to attract more people towards your hosts,
and so on, they need to be dramatized a bit more. So Allah
knows best how true things are, as compared to what they used to be.
But look at where the private life became suddenly very public, and
how lives have changed perspective has changed. Then he says, though,
that if the person is doing it in privacy, but there are children
there who are telling others about it, then consider that they are
like adults, then in that case, and that he is openly doing it as
well. Because if a person is doing something wrong, and he's trying
to privately do it, then he should not do it in front of children
either.
Another hap another rights
of one brother over another is law, your IRA, who will be them
been what led for in them, why are the Dakota will wind out to cut
the sofa. So this is another level now, somebody's committed a sin.
What one is a genuine
Naseeha goodwill towards them or trying to make them desist. But
another one is where you keep saying, you do that.
It's this kind of reproach, humiliation, putting them to
shame, essentially shaming somebody all the time. So your
idea is not to give them genuine, sincere Naseeha. But it's actually
just keep putting them down for whatever reason, whether in front
of others, or even if it's not in front of others, but just between
you two,
just to keep shaming them and reminding them reminding them of
that
as very, very dangerous. Because first and foremost, if you're
trying to create love and bond between two friends between
yourself and somebody else, and you start bringing these things
up, then is not going to go very far in terms of creating love. And
people do this between spouses husband will do this to wife and
wife will do this to husband. It's a relationship where you're
supposed to be creating love and bond and affection between you
doing this is not going to create any of that it's going to break
that anyway.
If it doesn't
remove the love, it will definitely muddy the purity of it.
So it's going to be really polluted. Then he says that from
Hasson bursaries, words, he says either brother welcome and I had
in Zelda. If you hear about anybody's slip a floor of
somebody, somebody did something wrong, somebody conveyed and
there's many people, unfortunately, who convey things
to us. Right? You sit in most gatherings and somebody's going to
speak about somebody else. Right? So if somebody does come to you,
one of these conveyors, back biters,
tale bearers, slanderous, whatever you want to call them, radio
hosts, chat, show people, you know, news bearers, whatever you
want to call them, right?
Commentators, speculators.
What is that good during the hacking, however, whatever they're
saying, has not yet been established in front of a judge.
So it has not been judicially established and proven for that to
our hero who behalf. So now don't take it in your hands to go and
shame that person about to admonish him or humiliate him
because of that, don't reproach him because of that, what can the
movement Shah mean? What you should rather do is you should be
lying, and discourage and deny the people who are trying to spread
that rumor. Especially
if the person is among you, you should definitely try to do this.
The reason is that just by the default state in everything is
that a person is free. A person is a person is innocent, that's the
default level, you can only prove it's that guilty until proven
innocent. That's what he's saying. But because the default status in
everything is that a person is innocent, until proven guilty,
until there is sound proof that is established in front of a judge
after that, even if it is now proven, and yes, he was a whatever
he was, still don't reproach him. Because it's not your
responsibility to do that.
It's not your responsibility to do that to do that.
Because it's very possible that Allah will
cure him of that or even relieve him off that and he will affect
you in it. It's a possibility tomorrow we do the same thing as
others. You know, whenever you hear on the radio and TV and all
of these places,
And we get the news about certain people falling to certain human
weaknesses. You know, we should just think Allah that we're not
part of that. Because it could be us tomorrow.
We all have lusts and desires and failings and weaknesses and things
of that nature.
And although we may feel very strong today, if Allah wills, it
can just change. He doesn't like it when a person upsets the
balance of the world just doesn't like that at all. Because Allah
says, Well, what are L MISA and so to Rama, he's created the balance.
And do not destroy that balance. Let that overfill Misa
Do not be tyrannical, don't go aboveboard, in upsetting the
balance of the world. Now, the problem here is the challenge here
is for the people who for 50 years, 40 years who've gone old,
criticizing others. That's all they do.
They criticize everything. They criticize everything from food,
that they will eat somewhere,
to the way that Imam reads
to a to the talk of a scholar to anything.
Like the scholar gave a one hour talk, do Mahatma whatever it is.
And he made one silly comment or whatever, they will seize on that.
They are literally just looking for the evilness. They're just
literally looking for the floor, the weak point.
It's like they say that when a nightingale goes into a garden, it
will find the best of flowers. And it sits in those whenever a pig
goes into a garden and looks for the dirtiest place just as nature.
So now, if we have become accustomed to doing that 40 years,
50 years, it gets difficult to relieve that. So how do you
relieve yourself? Well, first and foremost, you have to recognize
that we've got that problem. And many of us have this problem. It's
part of the culture by the way.
It's part of the culture to do this.
It's part of the country to do this, which is the sad thing.
So you have to recognize I've got a problem. I also do this and once
you've recognized that then cry in front of Allah subhanho wa Taala
and say, Oh Allah remove this from me.
Because if you don't recognize it, and we just do anything, it's
completely right to the we should know the bad of people so that we
stay safe. Nobody's nobody's telling you to not know that there
is a bad person. But it's our reaction to that which is
important is how that has to be managed.
That's why this hadith Subhanallah when I heard it, the first time
Imam told me he has related this from Morocco Mujibur Radi Allahu
Anhu. I was, it just really frightened me because you know, as
children, you, we do this generally. And it was a good job.
I heard this when I was young, because it helped me out a lot.
That's why these Hadith are very important for young people that we
should teach. We shouldn't do these things from a young age. It
will just protect us from growing up doing having a bad habit.
Anyway, the prophets Allah some said man a year or a year or ha
who be humble. Anybody who's
who reproaches his brother for a sin that he's committed. In the
past, somebody's committed a sin and then you keep going on about
it. lamea Matata, yeah, methodical dumb, then this person who's doing
this is not going to die until he also becomes engaged in that
same thing that we're shaming others for humiliating others
because of, we will get involved in that before we die. Allah will
not let us down until that happens. That was extremely
frightening, that just really put the frightened and Subhanallah I
just tried to avoid doing this. Because as young children, you
learn these kinds of things you'd like criticizing you make fun of
people and things like that. Subhanallah say the idea of verses
letter, it could be Masaba hoomin masorti be dunya.
Don't bother your brother about different to nearly calamities
that come upon him. Because, look, there could be many reasons why
this has happened. Either he is oppressed and not really the
guilty one. And Allah subhanaw taala is going to help him because
Allah will help the oppressed people. Or maybe he's a he is a
sinner. He violated. He is a criminal in that sense, and he is
a sinner.
And then Allah is punishing him now because of this color by this
calamity. And now he's going to be purified.
Now he's going to be purified because of it.
And he says it's the most greatest level of foolishness
and idiocy that a person is proud of something
They themselves are not secure of staying away from
like how secure are you that by your debt you will also not have a
problem like this? How secure are you? what guarantee do you know
it's also stupidity says that a person reproach somebody for
something that is not impossible for you also to vote.
So, just always think about that in the in that sense and you know
that whatever is possible for you is possible for others or whatever
is possible for somebody like you it will be possible for you as
well. So, if today he has been engraved in engrossed in that
calamity tomorrow it could happen to you as well.
Okay, we're going to Inshallah, stop here today, because we did
promise that we'll take some questions, inshallah. So
the point of a lecture is to encourage people to act to get
further an inspiration, and encouragement, persuasion. The
next step is to actually start learning seriously, to read books
to take on a subject of Islam and to understand all the subjects of
Islam at least at the basic level, so that we can become more aware
of what our deen wants from us. And that's why we started Rayyan
courses, so that you can actually take organize lectures on demand
whenever you have free time, especially for example, the
Islamic essentials course that we have on there, the Islamic
essentials certificate which you take 20 Short modules, and at the
end of that insha Allah you will have gotten the basics of most of
the most important topics in Islam and you'll feel a lot more
confident. You don't have to leave lectures behind you can continue
to live, you know, to listen to lectures, but you need to have
this more sustained study as well. JazakAllah Heron salaam aleikum wa
rahmatullah wa barakato.
