I was formerly a artist on Bad Boy
Records.
My ex partner
went by the name of p Diddy, Sean
Combs.
Right about now, they're making a lot of
movies and series about these type of guys.
How many of y'all such as myself grew
up with no parents?
I watched people die. I genuinely love the
Muslims.
When I said lay lay hello, Mohammed and
Rasool Allah, that was the last day I
smoked. I learned a lot about how powerful
the Muslims are literally went to go make
Hajj when I got in the courtroom
and realize that I was being implicated in
a conspiracy that had nothing to do with
me. The 9 years I spent in prison
and I just got back get the woman
bro. So now my name go like a
slam after a week like like snap. He
don't know nothing about Sheikh Google. It been
Twitter, l, Instagram me. That ain't his Sheikh.
He don't know that guy. That's your Sheikh.
No.
My dear brothers in Islam,
as the brother mentioned,
alhamdulillah,
I go by the name of Amir
Junay Mohadith,
formerly known
to many of y'all, some of y'all, maybe
none of y'all.
As Loon, I was formerly an artist on
Bad Boy Records.
And some of y'all
many of y'all, maybe none of y'all are
aware
of my ex partner
who went by the name of P. Diddy,
Sean Combs,
and a host of other names he possessed.
As the brother mentioned,
my intention and my purpose
for visiting the UK and other parts of
Europe
because this tour ends,
insha Allah, somewhere around
9th or 10th March.
And I took
the effort
only because
I'm
I'm I'm right now, I'm I'm extremely invested
in the youth.
I like for that to be known. Understood.
I'm invested
in the youth and the future of the
youth
because I know what it's like.
You
know, growing up in the streets in New
York,
I grew up in the era
where drugs, violence,
and everything plagued my town, plagued my community.
And we didn't have Islam
as a defense.
All we had was what we had
and enduring this lifestyle was not by choice.
In most cases, it was by circumstance.
So when you have situations that are circumstantial,
it really doesn't leave you too many options.
But unfortunately,
in this day and time, many of the
Muslims are falling into this lifestyle.
And if you look at the environment surrounding
the Muslims,
a lot of these situations come from choice,
not circumstance.
Meaning that
if I took a toll right now or
poll
by show of hands, how many of you
brothers here born Muslim?
How many are such as myself was guided
to this blessed dean of Islam?
So regardless how we got here, we here.
Right?
Don't really matter how we got here. We
here.
But the benefit is some of you who
were born in this blessed deed of Islam,
you were nurtured and cultivated upon till he.
You came from the womb of a believer.
You were conceived by believers.
You were raised and cultivated
upon this blessed deen of Islam. So that
means by the fuddle and the mercy of
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
you were born under the security of Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
And we all know that there's no security
that can exceed the security of Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala.
Therefore my brothers who were guided to this
blessed Deen of Islam,
we were guided to this security.
The only security we knew was the security
that we provided for ourselves.
We didn't understand the security of Allah subhanahu
wa dollar.
We understood security being
have an ability to fight,
have an ability to shoot,
have an ability to stab
or flick any type of pain or injury
on an individual
solely for the purpose of securing our own
person
and the things we love.
So the reality is
when a person who was born under this
mercy,
chooses to abandon the security of Allah
to choose a lifestyle
that is in complete opposition
of the life you know
and the security that you've grown accustomed to.
And when you look at it this way,
hopefully you reflect
that the abandonment of this security
and the consequences that come with it
is self inflicted.
And when a judgment of Allah supan with
the eye of the lens upon you,
now for us who are guided to Islam
and by Allah's mercy, we learn what this
security is
and we learn to embrace
and adhere to the security that's being provided
by us,
by Allah, if
we abandon the security then we have no
excuse at all. We have no excuse as
well. Right?
So as I mentioned, no matter how we
got here, we here
understand,
because I want to dispel the notion that
there's some difference between those who are born
Muslim and those who are guided to Islam.
Because a lot of times we we we
play ourselves with this type of civil strife
thinking that someone born, a Muslim is better
than someone who's guided to the Islam.
Or there's some difference. And
in this and what obligations were given in
this blessed deen whether you were born understanding
these things or you were guided to understand
these things. The reality of it is we
have no excuse for the law, subhanahu, with
the Allah if we abandon the security.
If we abandon this religion,
if we abandon the fuddle of Allah
Now
the one thing we have in common
regardless of how we arrived
that we have a common enemy.
And that enemy is the Shaytan,
iyadabila
and the dunya.
This is the commonality we share regardless of
what country you came from,
where your parents may have left and landed,
where you may establish your first understanding of
this blessed dean of Islam.
We have a commonality that we share.
We have enemies that are known
and we have some that are unknown.
But the ones that are known, we know
together.
Regardless of how we got here we know
that the shaytan,
why I had to be that is a
clear enemy of the son of Adam
and we also understand that this dunya,
this dunya, this dunya don't want you, you
want the dunya.
You never read a narration with a dunya
once you.
You always read
about a person's whims and desires leading him
to crave
and yearn for the dunya.
And the sad thing about Igit Ekuan
is becoming widespread amongst the Muslims.
Many of this Shabab, I come from America.
I'm pretty sure y'all peep into the media
and things that's going on in our country.
I pay attention to all the affairs of
the Muslims. It doesn't matter what country it
is
because I love the Muslims.
But I'm not too far from a state
called Philadelphia
Philadelphia is one of the most
sought after
Predominary Muslim
States in the United States of America
and right now Philly is like the murder
capital of the United States of America
And the majority of the crimes that being
committed are being committed by Muslims
and the victims of these crimes are Muslims.
I visited Minnesota not too long ago, but
dominoes Somali community, Muslims,
Muslims,
businesses on every corner,
abaya shops,
film shops, restaurants. I mean, the presence is
there. The identity is clear.
Muslims are here.
But now these communities are being divided by
gangs,
Muslim gangs.
Explain to me, my dear brothers, how can
a person have an allegiance to Allah and
his Messenger and then have an allegiance to
something else that is in complete opposition
of Allah and his Messenger?
It's impossible.
How could one have an allegiance to Allah
and his messenger in the same breath you
claim a set, you claim a street, you
claim a color of a rag.
Somewhere down the line, you're gonna have conflict.
Somewhere down the line, you're gonna have a
discrepancy between one of these two allegiances.
And when that time come, you're gonna have
to pick a side.
You're gonna have to pick a side.
You can either fall victim to the peer
pressure of that gang or that crew
at the expense of Allah's anger.
At the expense of Allah's anger, you could
choose an allegiance to something that's in complete
opposition of Allah subhanahu what the island is
messenger salaiah al salam.
At the expense of earning the anger and
the punishment of Allah, subhanahu, with the island.
You can choose this allegiance and die upon
that
that I'm investing in
because I see, like I said, many of
you falling into these affairs and it's not
circumstantial.
It's by choice.
You are choosing to throw away your Islam
for this dunya.
You are choosing to throw away your Islam
from a lifestyle that you've never been exposed
to. It's never been taught in your homes.
It's not something that you witness your father,
your uncles, or no one have to endure
unless they endured it by choice as well.
I know what it's like to live in
an environment
where there's no choices.
My father was never there.
My mother fell victim to drugs. My grandparents
raised me.
I watched people die funeral after funeral to
the point I got numb.
Funerals when I was growing up became fashion
shows. We only went there to see what
each other was wearing.
The person in the box didn't even matter
anymore.
We were trying to get at his girlfriend
because he's no longer with her. He's gone.
When the when this stuff becomes normal,
any sane person will realize that this is
not real. This is not life.
And when I see Muslims falling into this
situation,
it breaks my heart
because I know what the law guided me
to.
When the law guided me to this religion
in December 2008,
when I said,
that was the last day I smoked, that
was the last day I drank, I haven't
listened to the radio since.
And I don't say that to boast or
to brag.
I say it out of gratitude
because I'm grateful for what you had your
whole life.
I'm grateful to have what you had your
whole life.
How many of y'all, by show of hands,
grew up with both your parents in the
house?
It's upon the law. Y'all like superheroes where
I come from.
Y'all like superhero. Y'all abnormal
where I come from.
You grew up with both your parents?
You might have a kid in my neighborhood
kill you just for that out of jealousy
because you got both of your parents.
How many of y'all grew up in single
homes, single parent homes?
It's crazy. I can't even see y'all hands.
That's amazing.
And my grandparents raised me.
May Allah have mercy on them both. My
grandfather, he passed at 96 years old. He
took a shahada before he died.
I came home from prison. My grandmother was
fighting 4 stage cancer.
Died at 91 upon Islam. She took a
shahada before she died.
When I watched the rest of my family
grieving, they couldn't understand
why I didn't have any grievances.
One, because I was fortunate to have these
people in my life my entire life.
And then on top of that, I may
have a opportunity to meet them again in
general.
Well, my family is falling apart.
They would think that a Muslim is crazy
to be overwhelmed with joy
on account of death.
You see how this Islam work?
This Islam is serious.
People falling apart.
Hair falling out, teeth falling out, just losing
weight,
and we rejoicing.
I mean, we have our moment of grievance,
but when it's all said and done, we
get to make du'a for this person.
We get to ask the law, subhanahu, with
the Allah, to make this person grave, spacious.
We ask the law to enter this person,
into this paradise that he created solely for
the believers.
When I look at my family, I got
one supplication for them.
May Allah guide you.
Many of you born Muslim don't understand that.
May I have family gatherings
even if you got the cousin that barely
pray
or the uncle who may drink hamad?
Inshallah,
9 times out of 10, you'll meet them
in Jindah.
When I see my family gatherings,
I'm trying to find ways to avoid
many of the practices
that they've been practicing traditionally
for generations.
I'm the oddball now. I used to be
the life of the party.
Now when my family have gatherings, I'm the
oddball.
This is why I love the Muslims
I trade in a whole bunch of multimillionaire
fake fraudulent people
to sit amongst you Muslims
and call you my brother.
There was a time it would have been
extremely hard to even get in proximity of
me
in my previous career.
You might have caught a elbow, got punched
in your mouth, draw down, pissed through you.
You're not too close, man. You're too close.
Now I travel all over the world by
myself
only with the security of Allah, subhanahu, with
the eyelet to see thousands of brothers.
And I think that we all need to
start doing this kind of math. You need
to start looking at things exactly for what
they are
and not let this dunya trick you.
Not let this worldly life trick you.
You are the best of the people for
the people
for some of us that sounds like an
impossible task to live up to
but Allah made it easy for you to
be the best of the people for the
people Meaning your example is the best example
for the people. You know why? Because we
follow the best example of mankind.
So to be the best of the people
for the people means
all of these different alternative
things that the Muslims are falling into,
you're abandoning your post,
you're abandoning your obligation,
you're abandoning the opportunity
to contribute
to this blessed religion of Allah
because Islam don't need you.
You need Islam.
Allah doesn't need you.
You need a law.
The sunnah doesn't need you.
You need to follow the sunnah Muhammad Sallallahu
Alaihi Wasallam.
So these reminders
start with myself
and I extend
it as your brother so that you understand
what you already know.
You've heard these things repetitively to all your
lives
sometimes coming from a different mouth
or different perspective
may benefit the believer insha'Allah
But the reality of it is,
without sacrifices, the brother mentioned
wasn't really much of a sacrifice.
Traveling across the Atlantic Ocean is not a
big deal.
I heard stories of knife violence. I heard
stories of gangs. I heard stories of Muslims
assaulting other Muslims, murdering other Muslims.
Disrespect of the parents.
Allah
put dutifulness to the parents right after his
right to be worshiped.
Right after his right to be worshiped alone,
he put dutifulness to the parents. I can't
even imagine
someone who nurtured and cultivated you upon Tawhid,
nurtured and cultivated you upon Islam that you
have the audacity
to raise your voice, raise your hand, or
anything disrespectful.
I know non Muslim parents that'll break your
back in half for disrespecting them.
When I heard these stories this is what
became a difficulty for me.
I used to live here.
I moved here before.
I lived in Brixton.
When I first came to Brixton in 2005
as a rapper, I was bumping into guys.
It was a couple of guys. It was
a part of this little crew called SMS.
So these guys,
the British tough guys, Marsha Allah. Right?
But then I come back in 2009,
majority of these guys was Muslim.
And I was amazed.
And in this particular part of London, East
London, it's like driving through a Muslim country.
I brought my wife and my daughter here.
It's their first time in London. I'm looking
at them at the window. The whole drive
here, as soon as we got into East
London,
But wallahi, I love the Muslims.
You
know, I love the Muslims. I love what
a lot of love.
That's what puts your emotions in check.
When you find yourself taking something personal that
has nothing to do personally with Allah, then
your emotions is in the wrong place.
The emotions in the wrong place. You pull
the love with Allah love,
hate with Allah hate. Now your affairs is
in order.
Now you ain't got to be running around
here
imitating some belligerent individual
who doesn't understand how to gauge his emotions.
And
you definitely don't wanna fall into a situation
where you lack the control of your emotions.
May Allah make us all better.
But as a man, if you find yourself
losing control of your emotions and don't know
where to put them,
Remember to love what Allah love and hate
what Allah hate,
and I guarantee your emotions would be in
the right place.
My dear brothers,
I wanna take this time out insha'Allah
to engage you in the conversation
that's gonna require you to talk back to
me.
I'm not up here just to run my
mouth. I wanna hear your voice as well
because it's important to me.
I benefit from this. I learned from brothers.
I learned about the plights of the Muslims,
and I supplicate to Allah and ask them
for guidance
and ask them for the means
to contribute to the rectification of the affairs
of the Muslim
because we all have a part.
Many of y'all just love to break the
iman back or just break the Sheikh back.
Take everything. Oh, that's the shit. Ask the
Sheikh. Don't ask me. Ask the Sheikh. The
Sheikh is overwhelmed.
Well, y'all gonna lift some of the burden
off the Sheikh.
You understand this religion?
It's upon Allah.
Y'all send someone way across town to a
Dawah table instead of just giving the person
Dawah right there. Right?
Now quickly send somebody to YouTube.
This segment right here is about accountability.
Right?
The prophet said we are all shepherds. Right?
And every shepherd will be held accountable for
his flock.
And accountability,
responsibility,
all of these characteristics
and traits of men. Because we're on man
time right now.
Yeah. We're on man time.
How many of you brothers
can explain to me what is a man
of virtue?
What is a man of virtue?
We all man time. There you go.
Hold up. You're too young to be getting
up that slow, man.
I'm gonna love. I thought he'd call, sir.
Shafaq Allah Yaki, f one.
Forgive me, man.
No.
There's a statement that imam Abu Khadi said,
knowledge to speak perceive speech and actions.
Right? So it's not permissible for a Muslim
to speak
or act without knowledge.
That was that was amazing.
He he
actually took the answer from about 5 of
y'all. I would have went around just got
one from him, the other 4 from somebody
else.
That's what I mean by lifting the burden
from your brother.
But we ain't over.
This ain't over.
He explains some of the virtues
of a man of virtue.
Can he by
describing me
an actual man of virtue?
Do any of y'all actually know
a man of virtue?
There you go.
Muhammad
ibn Abdullah
Alayhi
Salaam.
The most virtuous man that ever walked this
planet.
SubhanAllah.
And the sad thing about many of the
Shabab,
they've taken on role models
who possess no virtue,
Only the accolades
that come with this dunya.
And some of them raised them to a
status
that doesn't even come close to true men
of virtue.
True men of virtue of the prophet
his
companions
and those that follow them and those that
follow them.
The prophet
said
the best generation is my generation and those
that follow them and those that follow them.
It's amazing
when you have
such a beautiful example
and I'm saying this to y'all
who've been born Muslim
because growing up in the environments I grew
up in,
the men that I deemed to be virtuous,
they possess some of the characteristics that the
brother mentioned.
They were men of their word. They stood
on their word,
you know.
They tried to implement
some level of, you know, consistency
in the characteristics,
a speech and a actions.
But it was all bottle.
It was all revolved around
something that man created.
A lifestyle
that no human being can fully live up
to.
Because even those guys,
when the situation got tight,
they folded just like a beach chair.
And he had a bunch of us believing
that they were
immortal.
We thought they was them dudes.
They had everything. They had cars. They had
jewelry. They had respect. They had fear. They
had all these things.
But when the walls came crashing down,
they got on that same stand
that they claimed they would never get on
and point across the whole courtroom and say
he did it.
How disappointing it was to grow up looking
at these guys
like they meant something.
May Allah guide them.
But when you look at the prophet, sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam,
you look at his companions.
These are men of virtue, Yaquan.
These are men you wanna be like.
Trust me.
I've been all I've been in 6 different
continents. I've been everywhere except Antarctica
and I rub shoulders
with organizations
that right about now, they're making a lot
of movies and series about these type of
guys.
Yeah. I even got to show gangs of
London.
It's kinda law,
You know?
But true virtue, I've only seen
through the example of the prophet,
and his companions.
May Allah be pleased with them all.
For the youth, don't be led astray by
these individuals
who created
this lifestyle.
It looks real shiny,
looks real appealing.
Don't fall into these traps.
Yeah. I know your brother and me just
spent 9 years in federal prison.
9 years.
I put that lifestyle
so far behind me. I was living in
Egypt at the time.
Studying at a couple of maracas. I just
signed up for the Rasulhas in,
a jammy atelazar.
Literally went to go make Hajj,
Came back to Egypt, dropped off the gifts
that I got for my family,
and immediately turned around back to the airport
to go to Belgium to give a talk.
And I just got back,
like, two and a half years ago.
When I got in the courtroom
and realized
that I was being implicated in a conspiracy
that had nothing to do with me,
But during my rule 11 hearing,
I listened to this prosecutor
try to paint a picture
that was not even remotely close to the
truth.
This woman said that I was traveling around
the world glorifying my past
glorifying my past and influencing children
it was just ridiculous
And now I look at this brother, may
Allah protect them.
I was actually in the process of having
a conversation
coordinated with another brother that we know mutually.
And I hear how, you know, once he
took Isha Adam,
that same trick bag.
This man is sitting in prison right now
with no charges.
So if you learn anything from this,
that tells you
that this Islam is powerful,
that Allah's Deen is powerful,
and those that possess knowledge and understanding
and implementation
of this religion,
you are powerful.
So trying to imitate anything other than
the prophet
and his companions
you are fighting a losing battle
and you are actually doing the work of
the shaytan
because the shaytan don't care
about the individuals
who go astray
he's pleased with you
shaytan loves the individual who delays
or rejects the salah
he loves the one who drinks or smoke
intoxicants
he loves the ones that commit xena
he loves the one who pledge allegiance to
other than the law and his messenger
he loves the one that spills the blood
of the believer, dishonest the you know, dishonor
the believer
He loves these things.
But the moment you start to become the
best of the people for the people,
now you're cooking.
Now you're on the right path
and only then you will learn who your
true enemies are, the ones that were unknown
before they will become known.
And you will accumulate
this enmity
based upon you obeying your Lord,
simply
just obeying your Lord and obeying the messenger
that he sent
you will become a hot topic
you will become
a detriment
to the establishment of the shaytan
The 9 years I spent in prison,
I learned a lot about myself. I learned
a lot about Islam.
I learned I learned a lot about how
powerful the Muslims are.
When I was in prison, the Muslims were
the most loved, the most feared, and the
most respected.
We governed ourselves.
We didn't have a lot of outside visitors.
Imams coming in,
you know, Qurays being,
you know,
given to us and charity. None of that.
And if it was taking place, they never
let us see it.
They tried everything to discourage us,
but we remain firm.
The brotherhood that we established,
that was all the family we needed.
For some of the brothers that never got
visits, never got letters, never got phone calls,
none of those things.
They were pleased.
Because when they looked around, they had brothers,
and that was sufficient
every year ramadan those people tried
to discourage us they were even late with
Suhoor,
late with Iftar.
There was always some complication,
but they never got a peep out of
us, never got a complaint.
Because all we would do is just go
in our locker
and allocate whatever food we had
and we enjoyed our Ramadan.
And they continue to try.
I remember one time, me and the brothers,
we were going to, jumwa.
We will use the,
the chaplain, you know.
It's a multipurpose room they use for
every religion
other than the laws.
And for some reason, they decided that we
wasn't gonna have Jumuah.
It's about 90 of us out there.
When they realized
after all of the authoritative
commands they were hurling around and nobody was
moving,
They changed their minds
without us saying anything.
They just sort of look in our eyes
and the desire that we had to worship
Allah
and somebody came and open that door.
This is how it was.
So when you come home from that
and you see the things that you see
going on with the Muslims,
like I said earlier, it's heartbreaking
because we didn't have
the
ensemble
of means
to produce
the strength
that we were able to establish in the
environment
that was in complete opposition of the Muslims.
This is why a lot of brothers will
lie. I'm a tell you the truth. This
is why a lot of brothers end up
going back to prison.
I've seen brothers return because of the lack
of brotherhood,
the lack of being received when they come
home.
Because we had a structure.
Just to give you an idea,
you know,
I was entrusted with the position of the
imam.
1,
compound. I was the head of the security.
We had structure. We had a emir
that will speak to the establishment
and that that shielded the imam from having
to have any words with the administration.
All he had to do, he was entrusted
with the affairs of the religious affairs of
the Muslims. That's it. He led the salat,
you know, he gave the khutba, so on
and so forth. The emir will go talk
to administration.
The Sharif, he was head of security. Anytime
the Muslims have problems, we went to him.
He went with his little team. They went
straighten things out, and that was it.
We had a Waqil in each block. We
had a Beitou mile in each block. So
if a brother get off the bus, he
didn't have nothing. All he had to do
was go in his dorm, find the Muslims,
and Muslims to pull a bag out this
big.
Sweatsuits, food, everything.
It was a certain type of brotherhood.
Their brother's
witness and in prison.
And I've heard stories of these same brothers.
They come home. They come to the masjid.
They get the warm and
after a week, like, why you snap?
They're not used to that.
Brothers asking for jobs, asking for help.
Sitting in the master that just raised maybe
a $100,000
last night, and I asked y'all brothers a
week ago
just to give me a job.
It's a lot of discouragement that comes with,
you know, what's going on
in these 2 different worlds on the same
planet.
Some of the brothers, they're a little aggressive.
You know, I think, you know, I've seen
the sister, man. Who's who's a waleel? I
think you can't run up when nobody has
no brothers. That's why, you know. The brothers
are crazy because they they they wanna get
married.
You know?
You may have a whole different approach though.
You know? Coming out of testosterone
driven environment.
But the reality of it is, it was
like, there's a certain level of brotherhood
that was established in a place where it
was needed.
But then I asked myself, where is it
needed the most?
Right.
Where is it needed the most?
Cut to the law, they end up in
prison and they find this thing, but we
got brotherhood out here.
But a lot of us are losing our
youth.
So in closing, I wanna be mindful. I
want you guys to be mindful.
The elders
and the youth,
That brotherhood that I'm talking about, it wasn't
no age thing.
We have older brothers that were serving life
sentences, 30 years old. We respected them because
they was our elders.
We respected them because they were our eldest
and we treated them better than our own
fathers because many of us didn't have Muslim
fathers.
So this older brother that was Muslim, we
treated him better than we treated our fathers.
It was a certain level of respect, and
the elders never talked down to the youth.
They gave the same respect in return.
You almost felt like you could be a
peer with a 70 year old man, with
a 60 year old man that you can
talk to him like one of your peers.
Now we have this generational gap.
How many of y'all, by show of hands,
was born in a Muslim country?
So a lot of y'all second generation. How
they are born in, in the UK?
See?
That's where the gap come in.
Because now you experiencing
things
that your dad, you think he old school
because he didn't came from the Muslim land
with all these Muslim traditions and everything like
that. You out here and it's doing you
acquiring
an education from a second set of parents.
You know, the second set of parents is
the doing you.
And you feel like your parents is they
like they don't know nothing
so you don't consult them
but who do you go consult?
Your peers
right
just as dumb as you
just be real
that's what peer pressure is that's where the
pressure comes from
Peer is understandable, but the pressure come in
where you asking somebody who's exactly the same
age as you, got the same experience as
you is, asking him for something
or to advise you of something that neither
one of you even experienced.
Right?
And there's always one that step up to
the plate like he actually knew something too.
Like, yeah. You know what I mean?
If you take a left, go straight. 1st
roundabout, now you wanna give you directions.
Have you in a dead end?
No way to turn, no way to go.
Right?
That's why they call it the blind leading
the blind.
Right?
Dumb leading the dumb.
Could you imagine asking your peer
or telling your peer before you tell your
dad
that you just reached puberty? Like, we're supposed
to tell you.
What kind of sit down discussion y'all supposed
to have?
Yeah?
And truth be told, whenever you run into
a situation
while you're running around with your peers, the
first one you call when you jammed up
is who?
The person that you leave in the blind,
your dad. He don't know nothing about shake
Google.
It been Twitter, l, Instagram me. That ain't
his shake. He don't know that guy. That's
your shake.
That purposely leave them oblivious to social media.
You don't invite them to learn
or understand some of the things that you're
experiencing.
So what happens?
They came here to work to give you
a better life.
You probably see each other, maybe 88 hours
out the month,
right?
Come in the house.
How's school? How's the Quran class?
That's it.
Working. They tired.
Y'all be ready for them answers too now
jay I'm delighted it's good
good
I never volunteered
to talk to your fathers
They be trying to reach out. They be
trying to figure y'all out.
Y'all leaving them blind.
Man. May Allah make us better, man.
May Allah increase us in that which is
pleasing to him.
May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala continue to place
his fuddle and his bounty upon his blessed
Ummah Muhammad salallahu alayhi wasalam.
May Allah rectify the affairs of the Muslims
in every land.
May Allah, subhanahu, wa ta'ala.
Bless our brothers and sisters in Turkey and
Syria.
Bless our brothers in Philistines.
Bless our brothers in all the Muslim lands
and the non Muslim lands. May Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala keep us firm upon his best
son of his messenger Muhammad.
May Allah unite our hearts upon good
upon good. May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala make
this brotherhood
this brotherhood that comes with Islam.
May he fortify it
and make it a resemblance
of the brotherhood of the prophet, salam, and
his companions.
May Allah, Subhanahu, with the Allah, make us
the best of the people for the people.
Inshallah
I'm your brother Amir and Alay's a share.
Alay's a taller man.
I'm just your brother Amir who flew across
the Atlantic Ocean and sit with our brothers
because I love the muslims. I genuinely love
the muslims.
I don't see no biasness, no
disconnect
by way of ethnicity,
race, any of that.
I don't care if you was born Muslim,
guided to Islam. You're Muslim. You're my brother.
You understand?
And I believe that if we all implement
this understanding,
you'll see the same things that I see.
Insha'Allah,
Allah will give us victory because it's promised.
And we know that the speech of Allah
is true.
But we gotta ask ourselves,
what part are we gonna play in all
of this? Are we gonna stand on the
sidelines and wait till the Muslims is winning
and then jump and join in?
Or we gonna create
that victory for the generation that's coming?
Because it's really on y'all.
The fate of this generation
is the fate of the generation that follows.
And wherever the elders or people like myself
have failed,
you have the opportunity
to correct
and pass down nothing but benefit to the
generation that's coming.
Real quick, the youth is 2 kind of
leaders in this world. Can anybody tell me
real quick? And I'm a leave you all
alone.
It's 2 kind of leaders.
Anybody
can tell me.
He said one that takes initiative and one
that's chosen to lead.
That's close.
The truth is
I'm a give you the answer
Yeah. So, like,
He real hot.
He close. The truth is there's those that
lead and those that mislead. They both are
leaders.
Those that lead and those that mislead.
You still a leader.
It's just that the reward for the one
that leads, like the brother said, upon that
which is correct,
then this is the praiseworthy leader
he leads upon the understanding of the Quran
and the Sunnah with the family of the
the companions of the prophecy
and the one that misleads
leads people astray
in the opposite direction of the path
that the law and his messenger prescribed for
the believers
but he received no reward
he received the punishment and anger of Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
and he encouraged the punishment
of all those that he misled.
So those that lead and those that mislead,
you have to choose which one you wanna
be.
You wanna be one that lead upon good
or you wanna lead
in a direction
that is contrary
to the leadership
of the best of all mankind
the prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
JazakAllah
