If you'd like to join the classes that live in the masjid then click

that has the details of all the class timings, the dates, the days
the addresses and the locations of the Masjid. So click on that link
and hopefully we see you there in sha Allah.
And now I'm going to meet orthodontist and Amada Ashrafi,
Gambia on mursaleen Nabina Muhammad wa ala alihi wa sahbihi a
cell Limitus even Kathy Iran Amma that
first and foremost, I would just like to take a moment out to thank
the masjid again, for organizing this lecture.
Very short notice, even though it's a weekday as well,
as done very, very quickly, some Eliezer which I wrote every single
individual who was behind setting this program up
in this manner.
There's a number of things in shallow data that I want to cover
and I hope this time around, I finished go I finish the points
that I have written down.
The first point I would like to mention today in shallow Tyla is
the statement of the environmental Lyanna he when he said
I refer to Loretta Kuhn will be Bucha for dinner.
Bell Betty Barrett happy when harmony be
one will not be elevated for just having knowledge.
You know, we see Allah subhanho wa Taala activating certain
individuals in the community, in the city. Right?
It won't just be through having knowledge
and refer to let Economou Jarrahdale when pity bearing happy
when harmony be
draw the Allah azza wa jal will elevate you will raise you
once you start acting upon your knowledge, and you following the
truth,
why am I mentioning this one of the biggest struggles
that students face when joining one of these prestigious
universities in the Arab world.
Because the whole aspect of intention,
one thing can do himself, all I need to do is scrape through the
university studies.
I go back to my community and I will have a very lofty position in
their eyes.
I will be elevated by them.
Thinking that he has some sort of guarantee that he will have a high
position and his community
and that can really really mess up with an individual's intention.
Right? This individual is creeps through the journey.
He may not necessarily even acquire much knowledge, but only
cares about is the certificate that I can take back home.
Because everything in today's day and age has become so
academic orientated right.
You have a certificate you are looked at differently. You don't
have a certificate, it may well be
it may well be that you are shunned.
Right. I am here pressuremeter Allah Allah is talking about the
one who has knowledge.
This person has acquired knowledge and he still won't be elevated by
Allah azza wa jal.
How about the person who
thinks themselves let me just scrape through the Jeremy I
take that certificate, and I will go back. And my situation will be
as mentioned
as very, very profound by thought
that can really, really mess up with an individual's intentions
and a struggle
that students tend to have a draw them into bad health, following
the truth, right, and acting upon it. And that's the most important
thing. There are those my beloved brothers and sisters who don't
have certificates.
Right or don't have certificates.
The poet have it and hachimura happen to lie on a when speaking
about the essence of knowledge. He mentions a whole load of
attributes.
That which he goes on to mentioning is what are the Hemley
Shahadat in mobile hydrojetting Mirza profile Toliman netrin woman
told me the essence of knowledge isn't having a very glittery
glamorous certificate.
Today when someone says graduated from Medina, right, straight away
is looked at differently because of the shahada that he carries,
however, is that the essence of knowledge
Whenever amnesia that immobile hydrogen basophils only when
necessary and woman told me, he also says that the essence of
knowledge isn't being able to put fancy lies apology together.
Sometimes you quote a couple of lines of poetry here and there,
that people are in all
and you begin to feel a certain way about yourself.
He says beneficial to law, he feels certain was he had any
father, he had more coluna admin fantasy.
The essence of knowledge is having a Russia what is Russia, a type of
fear that is accompanied with alien, you refrain from this and
you refrain from that and you carried out this particular
instruction and that particular instruction
based on the knowledge that you acquired, Allah said this and
because of that you stayed away from it.
In private, and also in public Viserion off the island. In your
private life in shallow toilet today we'll be speaking about a
toilet
and a chef's private life and how that shouldn't be.
This is Fallon no have knowledge.
Here a more colorful me fantasy. This is the essence of knowledge
of Hashem Allah azza wa jal getting closer to Allah azza wa
jal. Sometimes people tend to ask,
what is your objective? Right?
And the obvious answer that a student of knowledge may give is
my objective is to become a scholar. I don't think that this
is actually a correct answer. That's not our objective.
Our objective is to reach where we want to reach agenda.
We are all trying to reach agenda if we become scholars on the way
there then great.
However,
our sole objective is that which I study is meant to better my
relationship with Allah azza wa jal raised together.
I may become a scholar, I may not I may die
while I'm on that way of becoming a scholar,
right?
So you know, meeting Allah azza wa jal in a state where you are
trying to better yourself. This is what really really matters at the
end of the day.
Is that clear brothers and sisters, Hachette law, if you sit
in a theology, Father, he had had more Kulu to me felt as
a second point that I've written down here is patience.
When going to a place like Medina, a lot of people think it's going
to be all rosy and creamy.
That is a misconception that many have.
You have to fill in a lot of paperwork. At times, you may need
to do this, you may need to do that. You need assistance on this
and you need assistance on that.
And you're dealing with someone who is no different to a Bedouin.
You guys with me?
Sometimes you may just need a signature.
You go to one of the offices, right? And you're tired because
you're up all morning running around from this department to
another.
Just need a signature.
The guy says you come back tomorrow.
You know, brothers and sisters, you know who told me patience,
Saudis.
I think I became much more patient individual. And I still have a
very long way to go.
Especially in hash period.
Right, specially hedge period, as a hedge operator. We take people
on hedge every single year. But in Manhattan don't mean right. We are
at the airport. Normally we tell the judge the Pilgrims
in the hedge seminar and I always take over the first 45 minutes of
the hedge seminar scaring the life out of them.
Giving them the worst to expect.
We normally tell the judge that they have to expect to wait around
for approximately 12 hours when arriving at the airport.
Because been to the airport.
Has anyone been there?
You have two airports there. You have the normal one. And then you
have the big one.
Right? The Pilgrims airport
hamdulillah the system is so much more better now. Allah imagine
you're looking at an average waiting time of 12 hours.
So if the hash operator that you're going with doesn't give you
a heads up
they might be fine.
To the airport,
he might have a lot of trouble dealing with his pilgrims,
who might be extremely impatient.
He brought this with me. So as someone who's helping out my
father,
every now and again, I would go to the office and say to them,
listen, need a boss? He sends a guy passes count how many?
Okay?
He goes missing for two hours and another guy comes. How many do you
guys have?
50 100 200? Okay, all sorts of you know, the guy goes missing for two
hours.
Sometimes you find that the same guy that comes around
how many
times I will teach them how to do the job.
It's just a brother has been employed for the Hajj season.
And I've seen my father lose his temper,
or like, completely lose his temper with them with how they
would at times, and I'm not saying this is all of them. Right?
Some of them is bedwin type behavior, right?
And you just have to put up with it. Why am I mentioning all of
this?
I remember when I first arrived
at the medina University,
I ran into one of my neighbors from many years back.
He was a couple of years younger than me. And he also started a
Jabra.
So I bumped into him as he was heading towards the Arabic
Institute. I said Oh, mashallah, you got to accept the result?
says, Yeah, I've been here
for three months.
And I'm going to be leaving, why? I was like, I've had enough of
them, who the administrators, those who are sitting in offices,
what's happened, he hasn't been paid for three months.
He's still waiting for his monthly allowance, how much is your
monthly allowance
850 rails
because with me,
a 150 L which is equivalent to me by 180 pounds,
it gives me
the brother has gone through a lot.
He may not necessarily have savings. Right and this is all he
was relying upon. We in the UK,
we in the UK we become used to equal British rights.
Because agree with that everyone is treated equally.
You need to get something done join the queue.
Fill in that form, you are treated just like everybody else.
Over there
just depends how he feels on the day.
To read really just depends how he feels on the day. Like I said
earlier in his signature.
He may have had a hard time waking up in the morning. Him and his
wife may have got into an argument in the morning which caused him to
be in a bad mood throughout
and you really need to get that done.
You speaking a certain way can go a very long way.
And what happens
this is why
I always tell the students in the university
Patience is key to the judge. I would maybe repeat 10 patients
over 20 times just in the hedge seminar in the first 45 minutes.
That is extremely key as one of the obstacles one of the
challenges when seeking knowledge.
I brought this with me
I would keep repeating them patience patience patience. And
also something else that is extremely important which is an
wujiang IRA
Roth IRA translate and pajama
you know when you puff someone up
I will praise him how's that make you feel as if he's on cloud nine
right? As he is the man at the moment so hey
that's where I learned Saudi Arabia.
You want to get something done
make him feel like he's the savior for this ummah.
Praise him over praise Him you are this and you are that and the way
the revelation came down on your people and given that in Makkah,
right Medina
lied on the amount of things that I got done. I remember being in a
passport office. Right excuse
Have operators from different countries right? And at times you
tend to see that the
or those who came from the subcontinent are treated much more
differently than others and even the British and the Westerners
they get treated no different right and of course they are under
a lot of pressure at times they may be wanting to do the job
however
at the Allama shafa and he mentioned in all of this my
brothers and sisters I'm not saying that they are bad people
it's just not at them they don't know any better and I'm giving you
all a heads up will lie would have hurt me and burn me and upset me
to see brothers go there and then leaving because of
how they are treated or how they are dealt with.
Right and not everybody's like this at times you see attached the
policeman right
giving water helping the Hajaj there are people like that not
everyone is the same that's why we have five fingers that are all
different and the people are like that
right
so going back to the point that I was making at hedge I need to get
a passport
that plays ramp pack you can see these operators are like time
bombs waiting to explode
and then being told sit down wait there was a two
hour study
common terms
hand movement
which one may see extremely disrespectful speaking to you're
telling me
what am I some toy
plays in run packed.
I'm I walked in I think I had a drink or whatever it might have
been or some McDonald's or, or was a Dunkin Donuts. I can't remember
exactly what it was.
Some of you guys know my personality, I can be extremely
open. Have jokes I think right?
My funny, my funny brother's sometimes, right? It's not good to
be funny all the time. But I can use that card that can wear that
hat. I gave him whatever I had. And I just started like puffing
him up speaking nicely to him.
Literally done everything that I needed.
While everyone else is waiting around, where the bump in the
queue is right or not, that's not as fashion. I don't think I'm on
the queue. I just decided to have a conversation with him.
Right? Even Subhanallah at the university, I lost my bank card a
number of times.
I lost my bank card a number of times, if you lose your bank card,
right? This equals bankruptcy.
If you normally keep your money inside and you've lost it, you're
looking at being bankrupt for some time.
What I mean by that is
you're going to be waiting around for a very long time, sometimes
six weeks before they issue another card.
Allow them.
And just the kind of relationship I had with the one who's in charge
his name's Hassan.
Very nice guy. However, at times the students they talk to him as
if they have rights.
As if they deserve to be treated in a very prestigious way. And as
a human being, what happens is, you can get annoyed, right? It
adds up, you can break.
I just went started talking to him besides having a joke with him.
telling him about getting him married off.
When it comes to the UK, reverse as far
as
that is responsible is the reaction. Are you going to do
that?
Because everything done,
Shane Americanum he knew that was a joke that that wasn't going to
happen. But just treating them in a different way can go very, very
long way.
Allah He still has me every time I think about that brother, because
it was one of the first things that I experienced.
And he's very well educated academically. Right? So he came
all the way that he sees this, an organized system that can really
pull you off. I remember my mother brother.
And I would see him that he was just not there.
Right mentally, it seemed like he was in a bit of a shock.
So I approached him I said hey baby, what's up like I see that.
And he said to me straightaway, I've got a master's from the UK.
I was not expecting this. This is a culture shock for me.
It really
All
right. So the expectations that we have when going to Medina,
on going out to study in Egypt, you will run into so many other
problems very similar to this as well.
Right? Just ask me
to get a visa was an absolute headache. And eventually they
stomped on my passport you have seven days to get out of the
country
and the wife's got to give birth
much enough.
These are what challenges seeking knowledge
or challenges when seeking knowledge.
Fruits of seeking knowledge are immense.
It's unmatched a line alim.
However, in order to get there, you're going to have to go past
many, many hurdles.
Quite a lot of patients.
So the dimension now patience, and pajama saying how would you
translate German?
German shots
on me the way it's used to be
puffing them up.
Okay, in English, you guys might say gassing somebody up and then
it gets excited. Looking for more for an eloquent term of that chat.
Can you help us?
Sweet talking Allahu Akbar. Maybe that's the best translation sweet
talk in the game, right.
However, you can't always apply that in every situation. And he
might not work and at times, one just doesn't have the character to
go down and sweet talk like that.
Because his ego is annoying. And over there if you want to get
things that you really have to step on your ego
guys missed the juiciest part of the lecture so far.
Are you gonna watch out online sha Allah
by
Allah azza wa jal blesses you with going to a place like Medina or
Egypt or Yemen Mauritania.
This is a huge favor of Allah subhanaw taala upon you. He chose
you amongst all of these Muslims, all of these human beings to go
and attain what knowledge
right.
And sometimes when it's not you paying for it, you tend to take it
lightly, Miss choleric. And I've seen that happen a lot in in
Medina, when he's wanted the opportunity to go and study. He
may be sitting around wasting his time.
Allah has blessed you do not see that which you have
as an opportunity. Right?
And then what do you do? You're ungrateful by throwing it back at
Allah azza wa jal by not benefiting from his blessing that
you have.
Right?
And I think is worth mentioning also.
When somebody goes there,
he may have the option to study the Arabic language.
Right now they do tests to check what level they are at so they can
maybe hurry or stay up in the mount had
you seen that for two years? If you don't know anything?
You may know a little bit of Arabic. What I advise, right what
I personally advise is that one spend some time in the Arabic
Institute
after spending four years in Yemen, brothers and sisters and I
came back and I was given the when I went I said when intermod don't
ask how
and why.
I'll tell you guys why. But just don't ask how.
Right because he allows you that time to maybe what settling
and if you already know the Arabic language and you've memorized the
Quran, and you've started university already 20 steps ahead
of everyone else.
Read really
and if you spend time in the mat,
okay.
It's an opportunity now to memorize. Okay, and to solidify
the foundation is that you are in a lot of need of
what happens to law students, they might not necessarily benefit much
of their time, in that they go into the Julian to one of the
faculties. And it's again, a huge culture shock. It's a big jump.
Right. Maginot site universe University and you've never
studied that which relates to authority.
And then you get thrown into the deep end role that another what
JUnit women are there at Virginia.
terminology and the terminology
which is a more in depth book you know sort of
I wouldn't say is
the most advanced book you know sort of feel however you really
the foundation your need of taking a science or taking a Kitab a book
from every science that will make your life so much more easier
right will make your life so much more easier. So it's like a
culture shock he jumped straight into the qualia and one of the
faculties and he hits him really really hot it's really really hot
also what I think is important to mention is many of those who go to
Medina
may begin to think that you have a whole year to study is that really
the case? Think about it.
Normally we are told the six years right two years in Arabic
Institute and in four years the US but is that really the reality?
Don't students normally come back every year?
And when they do come back? How long do they stay here for
three months, sometimes even four?
Now it might be a little bit more or less they spend over here in
the UK or back home wherever they go back to
you aren't actually actively studying for a whole year
in reality is what nine months multiply nine months by four How
many years does that turn out to be?
Three Can you see how a whole year
has just slipped away from me
especially now when the holidays are increasing. That cuts it down
even more cuts it down even more
that brings me on to another important point which is setting
yourself British Standards.
Setting yourself British Standards will lie brothers and sisters I
believe every single individual here can memorize Buhari a Muslim
I genuinely believe that
now when you think about memorizing Behati Muslim it seems
like
seems like a mountain away right?
That's exactly how I felt before I went to Medina when I saw that
video going around of that child called Jihad and Maliki Have you
guys seen that clip going around? Of this young man who's blind
he's being asked to read the Quran backwards. That's how sharp he is.
Memorization is typing into Google Jihad Maliki memorization or in
Arabic type it in he's a young boy which I haven't done I ended up
meeting so you guys maybe this another time what happened? Right?
Jihad an American Blind young man
has a clip on YouTube
his shell is asking him to read backwards
let's quickly give it a try. follow Allah had the loss I mean
let me do in a minute when America no California had right
well then we are gonna go for one
minute wait a minute. All right.
Love Summit. Cordova. So hey, can you see how long that took me?
I struggled with that for like mentally takes a lot out of you.
He has like water. They tell him jump tonight. Come back to me. Go
forward five come back.
And he has like water
and then the same happens right? With a hadith
he says Hadith one that says it. Hadith this he completed go back
10 Come back five.
Imagine reading or buying a Novia forget about Boko Haram sang
Buhari. 40 Hadith of Imam No way. Right? Imagine reading from 42 and
then 41 and then 40 and now you have to read it like water.
You have to read it like water.
Is that clear? Brothers and sisters.
You know he read Fatiha. hamdulillah Rob darling Rahman
Rahim that's how you reading the Hadith backwards and then teacher
may say jump five come back for
it seemed as possible brothers and sisters
Walla Halim as possible
And there are those who are no different to me in you who began
to memorize like that. And I was an all
right, but when you're in that kind of environment and you look
at individuals who have high aspirations that motivates you
This is why they say that which you look at plays a big role in
the kind of person you end up becoming. guys agree with that
common sense.
Logic thing makes sense.
That's why the Scholars in their books they will say, don't look at
those who are lazy.
Don't look don't hang in there. I'm saying don't hang around with
them. They think don't look at them. Lash why?
Because it's subconscious decryption.
So when you see all everyone's doing the limit, go do it as All
right. That's how you feel.
A lot Allah Who? I met a British white brother.
He memorized Kotaku citta.
The six books of Hadith
White River brother, he memorize, quote a visitor.
Now, would you ever think
of course there are compilation where the repeted repetitive
Hadith were taken out so it's been summarized. You still memorize
every Hadith that was narrated by Buhari just the repetition has
been taken up.
He goes with me.
So Bihar and Muslim would work out to be like 2000 100 a hadith or so
I believe.
A white river brother can do this.
And what do you guys stand that any of us done
is something that is far fetched?
And those perhaps maybe because he would hang around with that kind
of crowd. But if you're hanging around with the British brothers
and sisters, right?
You may never ever progress you're always looking okay, he has not
still memorized 15 Jews that hamdulillah as long as I'm just
ahead of him by a couple of Jews than Ana, Allah, Mohammed, I am
the most knowledgeable, which shouldn't be the intention anyway.
Right, which shouldn't be the intention anyway.
When you have people around you that are extremely knowledgeable,
mashallah, working very, very hard.
This is why
I would normally advise the students when they come to Medina
to join the Halaqaat of a shave of Dr. Mann Rasheeda.
Because heard his name before Sheikh Rashid and he's the one
that raised on shake up the matter like that. And he's been reading
on him for many, many years. The voice that you hear is his voice.
I call it the most deadliest Halaqaat. In the kingdom, it's
deadly.
Just to get in is a headache.
I remember He humiliated me.
literally cut me to pieces.
And I can see why he did that.
Right.
I went up to the chef.
And he just wants somebody who's extremely
because that will test the waters in how you will treat your
teachers when they tell you off.
He wants somebody who is what extremely humble.
So when I went up to him, I wanted to show him shares like I'm worthy
of being in your heart, right? I've worked hard. I've done this
and I've done that. I said, okay
so he went and sat down.
And then he looked at me, he said, Get out of here
these are the deadliest Hallahan you will come out having memorized
whatever you're memorizing like water. Said you live.
I realize he's testing my patience.
come back the next day.
Same thing he says, Listen, go and memorize 150 Hadith of Bloomerang
come back.
When you do that, I'll see well, even
some weeks come back go by a comeback victim again. And I'm
thinking across
it's going to let me in. Is there a deadly telecard you will come
out having memorized that water.
So you remember is right. Okay. Sit down.
Gets a seven year old child
the testimony
You know, a seven year old child asks me how many times is Abu
Huraira
narrated a hadith in his 150
burning inside, and she has given me that this look
because the little child attached to it immediately like in front of
everyone.
I was like shocked. I didn't you know, come here for Ebola how many
times
says take your book and leave.
Come back again.
Well, I remember that was the day when I cried
in front of everyone, he has some of his
like previous students sitting around with him drinking coffee
and eating tomorrow.
And
he said you Yes, you
you're not worthy, please. Hello hot.
Right.
And then I remember and this is what really broke me right. One of
those were there said something similar to me. I think he
belittled me and tried to make me feel bad. And this is all part of
the test.
Love sockless thing Sacrosanctum Who the * are you?
That's how angry I was like, How Why are you getting involved like,
well, who told you to speak.
And I think that would have been
the straw that broke the camel's back and they would have no lemon.
And remember the terms of handling, they closed the
entrance, because normally they closed off because the women they
go by right. And I'm just going around the circles like I'm
crying.
I'm extremely sad and upset. I'm crying,
however, is a huge test. And eventually you will reap the
fruits apart with his aid woman named Mr. gala Doolittle to miss
out and the job Rockcastle Geritol ahead, if you're not patient, for
one hour, you will drink ignorance for the rest of your life.
You have to be humble, you have to really just times accepted. A lot
of times I will walk with a chef that will be students giving him
dirty looks
because of these similar experiences, right? And I think
and I even said to show why they're looking at you like that.
And he was like, keep quiet.
You're all certain students, why don't you join this helicopter
money? Why you keep telling me you don't? There's other helicopters?
Why do you need to go to this guy for
that
the shave never told me a book.
We never went through a book from cover to cover. However
hamdulillah eventually, he said you can. This is after like three
months of trying everyday getting humiliated, being laughed at being
mocked and ridiculed and
eventually isn't hostile and and students told me that he's going
to let you in hurt us. And by that time, I learned the method. Right.
And this halacha is very good for those who need to be disciplined.
And I wanted to kind of like benefit from other things in my
time, because you have to be there seven days a week you miss one
day, you're gonna get punished.
You're going to listen to everyone, but you're not going to
read.
Right.
So anyways, the point that I wanted to make was,
he never told me a book from cover to cover. So he isn't like someone
who taught me like she also is in the or one of the other show.
However, every time I see him, I will stand up for whatever I'm
doing, and I'll go kiss him on the forehead.
And he's very nice. He's a very nice chef.
But outside of the Hella hot outside of these memorizing
circles,
right? Because what he taught me, no one else told me and that is
how to make that which you memorize solid. You want to make
it solid. This shell he has a way of doing so. And I've never never
come across the Halacha like that exam because the time on time is
the other
is that clear brothers and sisters feeder we get the opportunity to
go there give my service to the chef
and join his hella hot. He has one for Quran and he's a lot more
easygoing, when allowing someone to join the Quran halacha when it
comes to the Mattoon is so much more tough.
At times, and I mentioned this in the first part, right? You're in
need of some tough love.
I'll put you straight. So someone just kind of like you know, yeah.
As they say lowering the tone.
This person might not be
in your best interest. So appreciate those who are truthful
to you.
Those are the people they should really hold on to and that will
have the biggest influence in your life.
Next point I want to quickly mention inshallah Tada
I mean, touched on it a little bit is how you take advantage of your
time.
One thing I witnessed in Medina
was when I was waiting for a taxi it was very early morning. I was
going to the Halaqaat of shalom saying you have to go there very
early. Because head of shadow has me.
I've never witnessed in my life
a halacha that is as big as that one.
I never thought a gathering would get bigger than the gatherings of
them lunch in Yemen.
I brought my sister with me. How's your Salah Hello, Amy has a
gathering that is very huge.
So this is like before Fajr students have to go very early
otherwise you're going to struggle to find the place in the front row
all the way you're going to be sitting right back.
So I'm waiting and there's no taxis coming.
So Hannah and his brother
drives by and he stops
second sort of knowledge right
Wallahi his car looks like library.
His car looks like a library.
And this really touched me we reached the traffic light you know
it took out one is waiting for the traffic light. He took out his
agenda by no sign and he started revising it
Robin sits with me he started revising is a gem Urbino sigh Hain
while at the traffic light, commencing from where we left off,
we were speaking about
a reflection that I had
when coming across this brother
who picked us up before failure to take us to the Prophet salon he
was listed and he didn't charge us a single penny
he didn't charge us a single penny And subhanAllah
like I mentioned before the salah you look at the sky, it is as if
it is a library books everywhere. You know this is the car of
autonomy
Wallah he brothers and sisters at the traffic light. He takes out
his say him his GitHub of a gem Urbina say hey, in that hadith
collected both by Bukhari and Muslim, summarized, and he starts
revising
as green now puts his book away, starts driving, and you can see
him revising it
all the way up until
he takes us to the province a lot he was visited. Well, I felt shy
to even ask him a question.
Because of how occupied he was. I didn't want to take up from
his precious time of maybe revision right? This is maybe his
revision time.
So you have people like that?
Who are hard working students.
Before I went to the university, I remember a very beloved chef to me
in less than or mentioned his name, I really respect him.
Whenever I see him, I kiss him on the head.
He said to me, Mohammed, don't go to the University of Medina
don't go
I'm telling him the news thinking oh, he's going to be happy and
everything right? He's saying don't go.
Why is he saying that brothers and sisters?
It stems from the point that I was making earlier.
British Standards setting British Standards telling yourself okay,
this Brit or this Westerner has only done this I just need to do
that. Instead of looking
at those who have high aspirations or not doing that, which the
scholars done before they became scholars.
He said to me, yeah, Muhammad,
the university is not like before, meaning you have all of these
students coming back from the German
from the university, and they are not giving back anything to the
community.
And that could be for a number of reasons. One of the reasons could
be because he did not benefit from his time while he was there.
He promises with me.
So Allah gave me this opportunity to go to Medina and then you're
sitting around going from one restaurant to another.
And you know just about every soap shop in Medina.
You asked about a restaurant the brother Allahumma barik said Uber
Eats
Not that I'm saying you shouldn't enjoy yourself or have a time when
you relax. However, if this now becomes your day dinner, you're
known and as a problem.
This is the essence of a call for call for meaning to be ungrateful
because Cofer is of two types. Right? One of them is to be
ungrateful.
And the message is Allah adios. I'm talking about COFRA Aashi
doing Ko for today husband meaning being ungrateful. Can I just had
the
right to worry to not have any the extra hurry and Nisha
from Salas said I was shown how via
Sallalahu he was in brothers and sisters. And the majority of those
were in hellfire were women. So the female companions they asked
why the message somebody said they do Cofer
would you mean call for comfort biller? they disbelieve in Allah
Salah cofounder and I share
the ungrateful to
their husbands. I like Hoolahan This is a form of covenant
brothers and sisters.
Allah blessed you he gave you an opportunity and then you throw it
back at Allah azza wa jal by not benefiting from your time.
You have that kind of individual
who at the traffic light is benefiting from his time.
Are you provinces with me at the traffic light he opens up say hey,
buhari, most of us always revising.
On the flip side, you have the one who is a chiller.
Now you have to ask yourself, if you do ever get the opportunity to
go and study? What kind of student do you want to be?
Do you want to be the serious student of knowledge who gives it
his all? And when you give something your all like knowledge,
whether there's only say it gives you only a little bit, gives you
some back?
So how about the one whole
half heartedly? Studies?
Well, I came across brothers.
No Fridays, that's the day when you're off your weekend when
you're over there is Fridays and Saturdays.
They wouldn't go out.
They wouldn't go out and enjoy themselves. Because time is very,
very limited. I don't know how long I'm going to have here.
Remember earlier I said it's not four years that you studied the
faculty. Because when you calculate the summer holidays, you
have to deduct three months from every year. And you guys agree
with that. Right? So it's not a full year that you're studying.
You know, brothers and sisters, that what used to terrify me
before I started the Gemini is
that we will experience similar to what happened in in Yemen.
I used to make de Ayala give me 10 years
in Yemen to study 10 years.
And then at Hamdulillah I was granted citizenship. Don't ask how
I got it. Again, anything is possible.
Citizenship and you had 10 years on the back I was like Allahu
Akbar. This is the dua. However, after Allah, masha Allah, everyone
knows what happened, right? The war broke out. The she hides, they
destroyed the institute, the mage
they destroyed it.
You go there now.
There was a scholar in Medina who would say one year in the match is
equivalent to three years in in Medina. And Wallah, I fully agree
with that. And I don't think anyone can say I have to assume
that I'm fanatic about my institute that I studied, I went
to all of these places.
And you can see why.
I remember there were those who would say we have time we have
time we have time, I'm going to take it easy.
Right on memorize a little bit now and I'll do this. I'm going to
relax. We have time, not thinking that
I won't make break out because the immune is a very unstable place.
And that's exactly what ended up happening.
When I started in Medina, and that was always on the back of my mind.
Right? that something will happen. That will put an end to our
studies in the Medina. I always thought that the Shia after they
took over Yemen they're going to come to a Medina next, because
this is some of the things that they used to say in the videos are
coming to the medina we're coming to end with you know,
this is the objective, by the way. Right? I always thought maybe a
war would happen. And then the university would send us back
home.
And then guess what happened brothers and sisters? Was it the
order to play
Is
there was an invisible water to face what was the invisible
Corona? Allah He I was there
the day when they announced all of the Halaqaat in the Haram needs to
be stopped
with immediate effect
lie shook, I was shaking, what is going to happen now Professor Lowe
it was submitted to be closed. That's like that anyone ever think
of that? That would happen.
And that's exactly what ended up happening. Remember, they started
in order to work is there they started rolling the carpets.
Have you guys seen some of those cartoons where they go into a
warehouse, and then the light is going tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk
gave me flashbacks of that.
And my biggest fear was about to take place
wasn't a wall
that we know of it was an invisible wall this place. And
before we know it before we knew it, or before we knew
we were all locked in our rooms. Imagine we couldn't leave our
rooms. You can't go to the prophesies Masjid.
You can't even come outside of your room, your dome.
And this is when we had to make the decision. We had to leave,
maybe come back after everything. All the other restrictions are
eased up.
point of the matter is you don't know what's going to happen. You
are granted an opportunity to like that whether it is to go to Egypt,
whether it's to go to Kuwait, whether it's Mauritania, whether
it is a Medina or MK Korea, whatever it might be, it's an
opportunity now to seek knowledge. Don't blow it.
Don't blow it
there's another point that I really wanted to make
pertaining to time.
Now
a lot of brothers that I came across,
they became very, very sick and ill. And again, it's one of the
obstacles that one has to navigate around when seeking knowledge and
became very very sick. Imagine brothers right. And sisters. I met
a white Canadian brother. White Canadian biller
came and gave me salaams and he thanked you know the videos I was
doing. Got to know the profile.
I don't see him for three weeks, three weeks after Where do I see
him? I'm at Chautala Wallah he led the light
this brother I told you guys a white Canadian brother right.
His face became blue
His face had shades of blue
because of how sick he became ended up eating in the gym. I'm
not on
my way brothers and sisters. I'm not I'm over there.
It has his history.
But I'm the restaurant inside of the university whether it's
advisable or not.
I personally didn't eat the
four and a half years.
I think that might tell you something. Right?
brothers wanted to save money.
So they will eat that because it was very, very cheap, like three
pound a day for three meals. However I also had it's the same
food that they take to the prisons and Allah knows best.
Whether that's an issue of not an allegedly
whether it's a room or not, I'm not sure
point in the matter is you might be there relaxing, wherever it
might be Egypt, any of these places that I've mentioned. And
you're taking it easy and then you're stuck with what some sort
of sickness is out of your control.
Right now, that's exactly also happened to me in Egypt.
My appendix burst
even though I wanted to stay there longer. I wanted to keep my family
that I had to go back.
So when you have the opportunity brothers and sisters try and make
the most of it.
Don't mess around with it
the next point that I want to mention a shallow Tada is
those who took the most
those who took the most
don't last long
those will talk the most they don't last long.
When I
First starting university, as I told you guys previously, I went
into the Arabic Institute.
And of course, we had a lot of brothers,
who had an issue with certain positions that we took before I
started the Gemini,
the gemera, the group of those who are very, very
harsh, rough and tough. And I think everybody knows what I'm
speaking about.
There was a lot of them in the math at the time,
and the Arabic Institute.
And they gave me a very, very hard time, giving you day looks,
not returning back the setups.
Who can tell me if I was to do something in particular, it would
deprive me of a knowledge, what is that something?
What is the obvious thing? What prevents you from being able to
memorize and acquire knowledge?
Since that's the answer I was looking for, that's the obvious
answer. So keep right. Also arrogance and so on and so forth.
A lot of students sometimes think that if you are saved from
watching adult content,
looking at the wrong things on the World Wide Web,
then you may be saved from being dragged back in your progress.
seeking knowledge. The sins What it does, it ties you it's like
you're wearing invisible chains.
Like brothers sisters with me. You want to do acts of worship, it
holds you back.
I've spoken a lot about it. There's a if you guys can get
opportunity to watch that video online. That's what five sins that
prevent knowledge. And I went into each point in some detail. Right?
So he's been saved from maybe watching adult content, which is
an addiction that many Shabaab have. However, the shaytaan comes
from
another door. What is this door that the shaytan comes in from
the door of speaking about others, ripping their honor to pieces?
It
will lie what Bill Nighy what a lie.
I came across so many brothers, who later would send me emails and
messages on Facebook apologizing for having spoken about me when I
first started university.
Just about all of them. I'm not going to say all of them just
about those who were rough and tough. And even how they conducted
themselves towards others. They dropped out.
Many of them didn't surpass the masthead, Arabic language. How are
you going to tell me so and so is a move to do so and so is an
innovator, or this guy is a cafe. And if I asked you to show to
Saigon tell me, the condition was I can't tell you
how you going into all of these big issues, when you don't know
the basics. You are in need of zipping your mouth, humbling
yourself and putting your head in this box. That's all you need.
This is a man a Caribbean minimun
thing thinking that you actually want assisting and aiding the
religion by speaking about so and so was an evil innovator. When you
can't even see why he's like that. We know that the bunking and
refutations is part of our religion. Allah has showed us in
the Quran, and the promises have done it and the scholars who came
after done it as well. However,
it's not for young, immature beginners who don't know the
basics of their religion.
Let me in shallow to inform you all of the statement or even a
Josie does anybody have an idea when he when he passed away?
Without googling it, I'm the Nasir.
Does anyone know when Josie passed away?
I believe is 597 of the hedger.
He sent a statement you think to yourself is ignorant Josie living
amongst every single one of us history.
Like he's seeing all of these fitness taking place among
students. Right.
And then he issues a verdict. You know when he said brothers and
sisters 597 That's approximately how many years ago 100 He says
women tell NBC bliss I hadn't had easy at her Valerie back
from the deception of a bliss on the people of Hadith. Sometimes
the shaytaan can come in from that angle right?
You're saved from all types of sense. But speak about this guy
speak well again, but for battling fever and then followed by Nitasha
fee. Are you free Jonah daddy camouflage injury with daddy
In this terminal will have led stem and open the mail had it OMA
the biancheria
they would speak about honors under the guise of Jerash. What
are the
reduced levels amongst
passed away 100 years ago brothers and sisters
800 years ago passed away. What is Java today is a science that is
studied.
Okay, where you learn
the criticism of the scholars who came before us
the criticism that they used to criticize those who would report a
hadith, because this person now who is speaking about the
religion, we need to what judge the kind of person he is otherwise
how can we take everything that comes out of his mouth that is
attributed to the Prophet sallallahu sallam. So this is a
science that is studied.
Some in today's day and age they use this to rip into someone so
and this person and that person
a lot of them dropped out.
Some of them I had became drug dealers
just the other day, just the other day, I won't say the city because
it might kind of like suppose the brother
brother came up to me and he said, I completely fell off. And he
started going to the club.
I remember I sat with his brother in the car, right? He happened to
be in a car, not even ask how he ended up happening, but I happen
to be in that car is off from Leicester to Bellingham. I was
going to the Greenland conference back in 2015. And he's going to
the other conference.
He's going there, we're going here.
And the way he was speaking in the car, Ally said May Allah azza wa
jal killed his brother from arrogance.
And he would be doing this and doing that and saying this, about
that. And he would travel from one place to another, so on and so
forth.
He was humble enough to come and apologize. Recently, I went to one
of these cities telling me how he fell off and
that he began to even doubt
his religion and so on and so forth. Um, did I eventually ended
up coming back and he's in good hands now.
We'll hire them.
And this is the end result of so many of those who engage in these
kinds of things. Imagine you have sisters at a marriage meeting, who
say, what's your message?
Do you listen to someone associated? And this so and so
chef? Might be a chef or one the sooner you listen to him? You're
an innovator at the marriage meeting.
Mono you got
what you guys think?
And this is extremely widespread.
Oh, he's any *, Mashallah.
I remember Chantal SUHAIMI, you guys know, she says Amy is the
move to win million and I came down to Luton.
And he told us a story which I uploaded onto my channel at the
time.
How a wife boycotted her husband, because she didn't agree with this
position.
Years went by and they were separated from one another, he had
to intervene. And then they spent the night together for the first
time and so many years. This man hedge is a disease. This way of
thinking this way of behaving is a disease.
Learn the basics of your religion, humble yourself, memorize your
Quran and again, right. A lot of these brothers have not memorized
the Quran because there was so busy with this.
They were deprived, they were prevented. They may not
necessarily have fallen into filthy evil, since such as
becoming addicted to adult content and so on and so forth, which is a
challenge that certain brothers have.
shaytaan came from another angle
when I compare
my studies in Medina, maybe some things that made me a little bit
uncomfortable at the time and even more so later on down the line.
When he was in India, well, I'm going to be extremely explicit
about it because the next G the next generation of students
inshallah to Allah can hopefully maybe take a lesson from this.
One who is in the match in 11 Hamdulillah. We did not like the
resources to study.
There was over 30 lessons.
There was over 30 lessons
being started every day.
In a week, so if you wanted to attain a lot of knowledge in a
short space of time,
the matches the place at the time,
however, was something that we really missed out on. And that was
tarbiyah.
And this was also the same problem, have certain pockets of
brothers who would take knowledge from these four chefs.
Right. And it was the same here. And there was these four chefs
that so many of these students would spend a lot of time with.
And there were so many other elements as well, that others
would attend, but they could see there was a big difference between
the two.
That which we lacked when Mr. Newman was being cultivated in
being open minded, and that which has room for interpretation.
He heard the matters.
You don't need to be rough and tough on every
issue of the deen some issues like Karateka, their muscle limit,
right? They are carved in stone. However, when it comes to certain
filthy related issues, or it's the higher the matters, you have to
have an open heart. You can't be rough and tough.
Wright brothers didn't know how to treat others when it came to
issues like
is taking a video permissible or not.
I know it sounds insane. However, it's a view that the Messiah of
Yemen have and respect that view, but just don't enforce it upon me.
So certain brothers and sisters would cut off others, they would
refute them, they would bless them. They'd be harsh and rough
towards them. Because of what
I take this view of another year.
Or maybe now this brother, he decided to go to this masjid and
give that our there were no restrictions and no conditions.
But you don't agree with that. They cancel you
or they speak about you.
I always used to think that the students were the ones to blame.
And he says for very long time.
I will say to certain brother tequila don't
put the machinery of the shoe. And also the students in the same
category. Have religion I realized
when I started asking questions, that is the machines themselves
are feeding them this information or feeding them this kind of
Tobia.
This is why the teacher is very, very important. Very, very
important. It's not just about
even if no Imam is shoved Rahmatullah Ali has a very
profound statement he says, My Narada you have to Allah Allah
Allah if you don't
write for Allah He because our Kava Kava, then upon him is to do
this, this this this, you know, one of the things that he
mentioned is
what Tong Kuba, the annual al
alanine Elise Rahman, soft to leave of certain
scholars who don't have justice and fairness.
Because that could really affect
the way you think. And because of that, you could what spoil the
data that you're going to give in the future, which happened
with a lot of brothers who had a lot of knowledge.
So the teacher that you have, must be some of experience someone with
cultivation, right, has taken knowledge directly from the
scholars and the scholars who are fair and just.
Exactly brothers and sisters.
So be very, very careful who you run into, just because Allah saved
you from hanging around with the drug dealer. Right? Don't think
you're safe from maybe hanging around with someone who has a
problematic tongue.
Just as that will prevent you from progressing and knowledge. This
will do so as well.
One of the things I learned from a chef and there's nothing better
than any finishing shot love Tyler
is
the coolness of the chef he's calm
right here will be spoken about.
He would be harmed. Everyone knows his shop. There's nothing better
because heard of him. Right. schoolgirl Michela some of his
clips have been translated into English. One of the nicest shoes
that I've come across, and it wouldn't be far fetched to say and
no Willie human only I learned that he's a saint, a beloved
servant of Allah azza wa jal what I felt sitting in his gathering, I
did not feel it anywhere else.
I could feel the tranquility and peace
It
really, really touched my heart.
The sheriff would be spoken about.
He wouldn't be bickered about it would spread stuff about him.
And this, my brothers and my sisters can distract you in your
pursuit of knowledge.
Right? That's why you need to be still. You need to be like still,
if you let everything that is said about you get to you, are you ever
going to progress,
you'll be complaining to everyone and anyone that you end up running
into at least kinetic.
And you'll be distracted, your mind will not be at peace. You
need a fresh mind when memorizing and when studying. You really,
really do.
Right? And at times, you just can't avoid it. There will always
be there harming you, irritating. So you need to adapt, and adjust.
Right? This is exactly what shareholders 17 We had to do show
some team every now and again has been thrown to prison seven times
he threw him in prison
and still tried to adjust it discipline himself to adjust to
these kinds of situations. This is why I suggest that you adjust
yourself now discipline yourself now before you go abroad.
Because by the time you hit the ground running, when you go
abroad, there'll be a very long time that has already gone by.
Right. So the discipline is extremely, extremely important.
Especially when people are giving you a hard time
when they implemented it, he he talked about six traps of the
Shavon six traps. Very, very quickly, the first method that the
devil uses to deceive you or to misguide you and lead you astray
is to get you to do cover.
He can't get you to look for what the next thing
be that was the third we can't get you to do the first two major sins
number four minor sins number five, he occupies you with that
which is less beneficial.
And then number six, this is even something that that MBR the
prophets they couldn't protect themselves from what is it? The
shaytaan coming through individuals to destruction and to
harm and to abuse you.
Right happens right you start practicing or your family turns on
chef, Chef
haram police so
you have every name under the sun thrown at you to kind of like what
make you feel small.
Isn't this what happened to know? Isn't this what happened to load?
Right two wives as mentioned in sorta hurry.
Canada that I Bedini minivan you know, saw the Haney for HANA
tahona
they were both treacherous they stabbed them in the back.
All of this to distract you from your pursue. Remember brothers and
sisters right? You seek knowledge is the biggest fight that you
could start with the shaytaan
as it matures Rahmatullah they mentioned again inclusiveness
he says I'm in a winner
know that the first deception of the bliss
is what some to whom and you're able to pluck them away from
knowledge while the NL element or the no LM is nor it's alight for
you the art for Amazon via home Hopatcong the economy Caversham if
he manages to extinguish the light of rain you'll just see yourself
what
wobbling from side to side not knowing which direction to go into
the enemy's like the torch in the dark when you're in the forest
that's why he will come from every direction and I would see and this
is what I noticed over time right? Those were the most serious they
went through the most intellect
whether it is the shaytaan coming through the parent whether it is
the shaytaan coming through the wife or and that's another
discussion in within itself
hola Ali, she will come on to have a written down inshallah Tada if I
don't make sure you remind me.
It comes from maybe what certain individuals who are your own good
friends, they are good friends.
But the shaytaan gets to them and they start maybe having hassad and
which was you and that's another disease that is common among
students of knowledge a shared with him and he said, the headset
that you find among students of knowledge is worse than that which
you find amongst businessmen.
May Allah hazard to protect us from that and that also prevents
the knowledge from entering into the heart
so a shut up there's nothing better no matter what happens to
him
will never speak you
We just teach, teach, teach, teach, teach.
Right? I even heard that no one caught me on this right. And Allah
knows best I had when he and shahzada SUHAIMI went to a scene
I believe it was shut up, those are for the better glasses were
broken because of some
being physical towards them, due to them not agreeing with what the
chef was saying, Medina, however, I don't see the chef sitting
around complaining about people speaking about him. Because
sometimes what address certain things indirectly, and they will
just focus on teaching.
Sometimes you may be assaulted, physically,
the emotion at the time, could really spell you
to doing something
that may not necessarily always have
the best possible outcome. And this is why you need to consult
those who are wise and older in age, you may be knowledgeable than
them more knowledgeable than them. However, they have something that
you can't buy, which is age and time. So the poet he says, In
Amora, either luchador through the Baraha, during the shoe,
photography's area holiday, if you see just a bunch of youngsters
taking things into their own hands, without consulting the
elders, you're always going to find a deficiency.
Sometimes you don't even need to consult them, you just look at
them. And you analyze the way they react the way they move.
Right.
Shall was awful. But there's like that.
And this is something that I had to recently remind myself of
something that I had to recently remind myself of, because emotions
can sometimes be really high minded doing something.
I'm not going to go into exactly what happened I
think only NASA knows.
Right?
By
I want to also share a benefit.
That
a share of the salami Choi
gave me when I spotted him sitting in the province a license. Now
he's very well known, right? Share high school students. However, the
time
he wasn't unknown. And I attended his class it was only a few people
that Subhanallah
so I seen the shed was sitting in Harlem and I went and sat
and asked the chef question, Chef.
Someone wants to become very close to Allah Estonia. What is it that
you suggest? What is your advice?
And he told me a number of things. One of those things that he told
me was,
be someone who's humble, no matter how handsome you become.
How beautiful Allah azza wa jal makes you how much knowledge that
you're blessed with the always humble chef at the Seminary where
anybody who meets him
will testify to that. How humble the chef is. Right? And then you
mentioned something else that I never forgot. And every student of
knowledge, especially those who pick up a lot of publicity, need
to pay attention to it said
Miranda to law,
being conscious of Allah azza wa jal in private, such as give me an
example what you're referring to, right?
Instead, for example, you might be at home and you let your guard
down, meaning your trousers
just happened to be below the ankles, you may fold it when you
go outside, but in the home, it tends to kind of like be a little
bit more easy with yourself
and then even said with your wife, I said what do you mean sure,
sometimes
may be extremely difficult to control yourself when addressing
them because of how much they get on your nerves.
And
why do you mean I look for
promises is with me.
Right? With the people in public.
That might necessarily ever happen. However, because you're
with your wife and your kids all the time, you may snap, you may
see something saying Be conscious of Allah azza wa jal in private.
I will never normally think about that example. Right. You will
normally think when the chef says Be conscious of a line private not
to watch something under your blankets, these kind of things
right.
And that brings me to a very, very powerful point.
The images, like I mentioned, he said,
right to UCLan Minelli, Montecillo in Illinois.
And then Oh, another law here is the agenda for Halloween.
I saw those who are scribed themselves
After knowledge
men who love Allah azza wa jal
they began to overlook, or should I say, they stop being conscious
of Allah subhanho wa Taala watching them when they are in
private.
So what did Allah azza wa jal do to them brothers and sisters pay
attention, right? What did Allah azza wa jal to do to these
individuals who might stand on the member who might give public
classes who might need the taraweeh? Those who ascribe to
knowledge? What did Allah do to them? When they would do things
behind closed doors and privates, and then show another face to the
people in public? For Maha mahasin, a decree infant jerawat,
Allah subhanho wa Taala calls the good things that are mentioned
about them in public to disappear.
For Colonel Mozu Dean cannot do mean
when seeing them is like not seeing them.
Right.
Would you deny him it's like they don't exist.
La Halawa to the rodeo team while
there was no sweetness in wanting to see them, you know, sometimes
you will look forward or someone so it's coming.
That brother mashallah is a righteous friend, I'm really
looking forward to seeing him when I call him and the hearts of the
yearning for them.
So if you are an upcoming believer in Mora dairy, or someone who's
already very well established, or an Imam, or the head teacher of a
Madras or whatever,
people respect you in public, right?
All the way up until
you start violating the limits of Allah as well behind closed doors.
Why is it a certain individuals,
they were held in such high esteem and all of a sudden they dropped
in eyes with people,
perhaps maybe because of this.
Right? It doesn't necessarily have to be someone who's a scholar,
this happens to, it could be someone that, you know, the family
looks up to, because he's utterly brilliant. And all of a sudden,
you just drop in the eyes. And that's maybe perhaps because you
not taking caution, your private life.
And then it's very sorry to say, at times, you see the private
lives of certain diets, and those who describe themselves to
knowledge surfacing on internet,
Allah He breaks the heart because this does not give a good image of
shield, right. And I believe the majority are not like that,
because they are God fearing individuals. However, when a very
famous John Dyer
his laundry is aired on the World Wide Web on Twitter especially.
Right? It's heartbreaking.
But at the same time,
right. As he mentioned, sometimes Allah has noted exposes an
individual in order for him to come back, because you'd rather
make Toba now that meets Allah azza wa jal with a sin.
Or it could be a lesson for the people themselves.
It scares you
will lie It's really, really terrifying.
And I genuinely don't believe that
this happens at the first time of committing a sin.
Because from the names of Allah as well as overjet is what city right
which means,
can see with the sins of His Abd
Allah there are sins between us and Allah azza wa jal, right? No
one knows about
and no one knows about that Allah azza wa jal conceals, that we
wouldn't want anyone to ever know about
however, does Allah exposes all the time brothers and sisters? He
doesn't. He consumes it consumes it consumes and he may end up
coming out once upon once upon a time, right? Or one day down the
line should I say?
I don't believe is the first time
he's even an aeration, Allahu Allah, whether it's authentic or
not.
There was one who stole and he said, This is the first time I'm
gonna hop up said no, then he cut his hand off.
Because it was the first time Allah would consider your sins.
And I feel like one
thinks that okay, I got away with it the first time. The second
time. I walk into the masjid everyone singing my name. I still
have my publicity, and my clouds.
third time, fourth time, he's still messing around.
Right having these inappropriate conversations.
And then
he's exposed by Eliza.
May Allah azza wa jal protect every single one of that.
Especially if you're a pilot by highly suggest, and you're in that
martial of study, that you close down you
Social media because it can be a bit of
a lie.
I've had to have
sittings with certain brothers who became tested
with having inappropriate conversations and the girls are
threatening if you don't speak to him and
the big thing is they always contact me because I'm the only
one that they know. Right? If you don't speak to him we're going to
expose it.
Pick up a little bit of publicity people see your mashallah Medina
students get followers and then the fitna comes through the women
they start throwing themselves at you.
So
is uncomfortable conversations having with certain brothers
that come off it has this is going to ruin your reputation. More
importantly, your relationship with Allah, your student and this
is a fitna. You may think how can this happen? My character
Findlater Allah Allah Almighty milanesa prophesize himself. I did
not need a fitna is greater upon men than women.
No one should feel safe from that at all.
Also, I want to share the advice you guys know a chef Okasha Kamini
was he known for
halophyte Hamza
and He's
a chef have it all out to Allah you google him or YouTube him he's
become a very well known famous recital. People just think that
he's a recital will lie mean, I let me hola hola bien. La Nina.
It's after him from the most knowledgeable, if not the most
knowledgeable Westerner that I've personally come in contact with.
Now not best brother John Fontaine, he set up a meeting. And
Micah.
And I thought, let me take some advice. And I think maybe students
can benefit from this because a lot of students always ask, How
can I now combine between
being serious when it comes to Tala Baron and also marriage life?
Common question right. Is this woman now going to aid me or is
she going to be hindrance?
It's a continuous battle.
Allah Allah
as a child, you're probably married to for Allahu Adam and
asking whether this is the case or not, but I'm assuming you have
Mashallah.
Your Dawa Allahumma barik is very well known.
You're busy, right?
Very famous. More famous you get the more easy it becomes to get
married.
And I'm not trying to find out about the ins and outs. I just
want to know one thing chef, how do you find time
progressing in Bala below, seeking knowledge?
Because normally when you become a doctor or the Imam of the masjid,
you get busy.
Right? after fajr you got people asking you a question. Sometimes
the Imam you just want to run away. This is my private time my
Quran time, or took me Leave me.
However, you can't operate like that.
So you're so busy. How do you find time because this shave? He
continued seeking knowledge.
And they say, but I heard he reached me. They would continue
doing alphabet 1000 line poems, even when he's given Dalai Lama
berec
He's like a computer salon, you basically use it.
As a chef, what do you find?
said you have to find a time when no one occupies you. What is that?
3pm in the afternoon. We need to be doing school runs
as a parent.
When after maghrib for you good sleep when you become mentally
exhausted. And then the wife says Go and take her to sleep.
The tree now one brother and I'm gonna
expose him saying it's a challenge night.
Wife's looking at him and he's looking at the wife
who's going to avoid sleep?
Challenge. When we define time
as a chef, are you referring to other videos that
said you have to find that time when everyone's asleep? Not your
wife not the moment you message it. Not this person who comes in
ask your questions. Everyone's Asleep.
And if they are awake, they're praying in the homes knows that
Aquila time, right?
This is the time that you should maybe what? Progressing
memorizing, reading, doing what you can.
Normally when a woman becomes pregnant and she has a child she
tends to go to sleep after fajr right again you have to make a
sacrifice you are going
Have eyebags You'll be tired. Just put Vaseline on your show you look
better, or some cream, but your face is going to suffer at times.
Right? It's a sacrifice you have to make you want the additional
candy, taxable money. I'm talking about earlier Sahara layer,
shoveling sand and you say either in anything, right? And everything
that you're trying to become successful in, you have to put in
the effort in order to
reach success.
And of course, it's much more than that. Like you need a toll free of
Allah azza wa jal.
So this is the advice that he gave me. I mentioned it here. Because
it's a very common question. We can just now refer the people to
the video.
Right, it's common question, right? She's always in my face.
And she's telling me do this do that.
There has to be a time that she respects. Right?
Like I told my family, I don't want you to speak to me up to 3pm.
From that division, until three, I don't know.
Otherwise, I'm gonna go and get a corporate job. I'll come back at
5pm. At least I'm in the house now. I'm reading this is my work.
My son, this is my work.
I don't know you don't talk to me. After that, when our breakfast
we'll have a 3pm.
That's what he called branches.
There has to be a time there's no contest. Because if you think
about it, brothers, right. And sisters, when you go to work,
everyone respects your time, right? Because the money is on the
line. So
no one calls you know, your father, not your mother, not your
wife. Everyone respects that. But when you pick up a book, or this
guy's just, you know, she's reading. Now, that's the time that
you respect. This is my study time.
And of course, you have to give time to them as well. You have to
be fair times when you just spend quality time with them, not just
time quality time.
So you have to put your phone away, maybe put in the basket and
the door
and just talk to her
and say nice things when they hear nice things, trust me, you'll be
able to get time.
Just want to seek knowledge. Sometimes you have to bluff.
Right.
Also, something that I witnessed, which I really, really liked, and
I wrote down at the time was the assignment to nurse
General. People. You know what time they come to the Prophet
sallallaahu says missing on Friday.
They come straight off the treasure and they sit there all
the way to Joomla and let's see after Joomla
Can we all agree that this is a boycott sooner? Or abandoned
sooner?
Right.
What did I miss an audience to say?
Many of the tests that whoever does also write on Joomla when it
comes in the first hour, okay anima araba.
By then it is as if he's floated
a camel and give you the charity stuff
comes to the second hour it says if he slaughtered a cow and then
gave it to charity. Like brothers and sisters. Right? He will see
I'm a teenager general common folk.
A bad they may not necessarily have
have a lot of knowledge but they're sitting there
as Reena Quran. Alive you swim on the road, you never ever think
they will take it any better seriously,
has made me something that we can all revive and we are all guilty
of that.
Right?
Even when it comes to fear of missing a nerve, we gets packed an
hour and a half before.
By the time the other one goes across. You can't even get him
who's praying an hour before? I'm internus.
A bad day someone thought it'd be nice is not just what knowledge
knowledge, knowledge, knowledge, knowledge.
This needs to have a direct effect on your lives. You need to be
increasingly aware that the more you learn brothers and sisters and
I say this about everyone here, you're learning you come to
classes. You're not the same as the roadman or just a general
person who goes back and forth to work. You are someone who is
aspiring now to learn the deen of Allah azza wa jal, you have to
increase in a better this is exactly why Muhammad said the more
you increase the noise the more you
increase in acts of worship. You will soon why is it that we have
to love Allah and we will leave of our sunnah. And by the way, if
you're a traveler, it's actually sooner to leave it.
For those who are wondering why is not praying.
It is Sunita
actually leave it because the Prophet saw some left it
he's telling us one thing and then he's doing another law, sunnah.
cannula. COVID Rasulullah, he was total hustler. You have a perfect
example in the Prophet sallahu wa salam and he used to leave it off.
I mean, the ones that robotic other than the two are fragile and
he used to pray the night prayer as well even on his troubles.
Why is the miracle pilot you tend to become extremely relaxed when
you're with you acts of worship, right? Fasting in the day for
those that have the capability. pm will lean especially brothers and
sisters. Honey serious Alia could like a healthy community I'm
Elaine. We know we make daddy help Bichette even if you wake up the
time that it takes you to milk a cow How long does it take you to
fully milk a cow maybe walk 1015 Even if it's that short of the
time that you wake up before Fajr and you pray two rakaat pm will
lay brothers and you ask Allah to open doors of hair those of envy
it's been increasing in acts of worship.
You remember Chevron's? Allah is it nice and funny? You will be not
the factory is not the one who just speaks in the MELFI who
we are behind money. The real funny is the one who acts
and last but not least he time Oh misc.
I've got this written down as sisters who want to marry students
of knowledge, especially those in the medina
it seems old
beautified Medina students Gala.
He's going to be
reciting Surah Baqarah, as I go to sweet prince charming.
Right?
A lot of sisters have this.
How can I put this
it's gonna help me have this fantasy type of imagination. When
it comes to Marina students knowledge.
Students knowledge, he's busy. He's trying to aspire to gain more
and more knowledge. Not that I'm trying to put any big guys off.
This is the reality. Right? Especially when he is abroad
studying the thing he is going to find a lot of time, right? Going
back and forth to the mall with you a job that we have in Medina,
that if you marry
a certain type of woman,
she's going to rinse your pocket and she's going to be spending the
majority of her day in the morning. I'm
not going to say the actual ethnicity because
nothing is right. But
some women have these kinds of goals.
Right? This is what they want.
Have a you as a pilot when you need somebody who's going to aid
and assist you in your pursuit.
So going back to the sister now.
He's going to be busy with university, he may only have a
little bit of time to spend with you. Right. And even later on when
he comes back, he's a dahlias trying to benefit the community.
He's a teacher.
Right? And of course, there is no say this right? Because I
sometimes fall short. So you have to specify a time for them. But
it's not all rosy as you think he might have some financial
difficulties. The amount of cases that I heard of sisters Lizeth
leaving their husbands in a Medina because they just couldn't
maintain it
anymore financially.
Right. You will go through tests and you have to be patient.
You have to be patient and Allah as it will open those. But if you
jump the ship, the first moment, something happens. You are not a
supportive
wife.
Right? Allah azza wa jal allows you to go the you managed to marry
a brother is there, be patient
and don't think that it's like going phenomenon. This is a very
twisted
idea that sisters have a Medina. You're not living in a hotel, by
the way.
Saudi
for the most places still is a very conservative country.
So many places you could go to.
Right? You don't have your family as well remember that?
Congress visit people like that.
Yes, you might be able to run into other brothers wives, you meet up
with pets, not how you may think.
When you go for Umrah, two weeks, you sit us in front of the haram.
You go pray, come back, pray and you go back and now you are maybe
living 20 minutes 30 minutes away from the Haram because it might be
a little bit more cheaper than that.
You might be able, you might only be able to go once or twice or
three times a week.
Right.
So it can be a struggle at times. What did Mr. Merrick Rahmatullah?
He mentioned
lay united, I had an AMA had tell you that
you will not be able to acquire knowledge. Unless you taste
poverty, at least one point in your journey it's going to happen.
Right? And this is what the system needs to be fully aware of.
There's also something else that I wanted to mention pertaining to
the system itself.
Yes,
they say Behind every successful man is a
woman
and that's the truth. You could either make him or break him and
remember everything that he does have hair on your scale of good
deeds.
So by allowing him to seek knowledge by sacrificing your time
and the things that you may want, you're getting rewards for it
because you're aiding and assisting him in here
could we run the right
race to give
her the whole this the reality is Daniel and Haley Coverity right.
The one who directs the good is like him doing it what did I miss
Salado Somoza say min Jas de la Z and visa vie live
wherever ready is an expedition to go for jihad is that he done it as
well. So she's aiding and assisting and helping without a
shadow of a doubt.
She will attain a huge reward with that as well we hit the line
Hamdulillah he added to me
I forgotten anything.
statement that I forgot when it comes to speaking about
sensitive matters, you don't need to indulge in everything that is
being made everything that is being spoken about. And this
sometimes can what occupy you and distract you. Try to stay away
from controversy as much as you can while study.
Especially that what you see online.
Right? You don't need to add your triples to everything that is said
and everything that takes place
from the Hazama to like it says management or something. How
beautiful is silence?
Elia has sassy and sensitive issues.
And then increase it
for CompTIA had them even Alico Kalambo How often have we seen
someone destroying himself because of what he uttered with his
tongue?
While I'm not attacking him and I had a co socoto but we never ever
saw one destroying himself on being silent.
And it's cathartic.
Allah azza wa jal forgive us all.
Make us more wise
and grant us beneficial knowledge
