As I say to Thomas ago that
we are on a journey in Sharla journey of discovery for me
to find out
what was that
which inspired the companions
to change the world?
And what is it that we lack
in doing what the Sahaba did?
And I repeat to say that they were people like us, they will not prophets.
They never received revelation, only Mohammed Salam received revelation.
And we came to the conclusion in the beginning
that all that the Sahaba had
was
there Koran which allows for the DVD and not even the whole Quran. Some of them left before the whole Quran was revealed.
And of course, this wouldn't have allowed so
today we have the Koran
and the complete sooner than to be so loud.
And yet we are sliding backwards.
We have
so many schools that teach
caves.
Hundreds of 1000s of rands are spent
in opening his school after high school after high school.
The result?
Zero
the result
our forefathers who did not have is achieved much more than what we have achieved with the 1000s of her father that we have in our midst.
We have preferred to commit all kinds of crime. There are very good ones Mashallah.
We have all kinds of people learning the Quran by heart.
Yet there is no impact on society. No impact.
Yes, there is an emotional appeal or this harvest Gulen was he married to the half East Coast, the Koran
but in the Quran is understood.
Then what is the use?
Yeah, this Baraka Baraka is for the era, the Quran was not meant for the earth era.
The Quran was sent
for us
to manage our lives here on the dunya.
And therefore, Hades without understanding will have zero result.
Zero results.
And less than half of schools change the curriculum and include in their curriculum, also the understanding of the aura
and the learning of the language of the Quran.
Because the difference between us and the Sahaba was that they understood the objectives of the Quran.
They understood not just the meaning of the Quran, they understood the purpose. Why Allah subhanaw taala revealed the Quran to Muhammad alarmism
after all my dear brothers and sisters
If this foreign was meant just to be read and not understood, Allah could have sent it in any language to Mohammed Salah could have said it in English, in Afrikaans, in German, in Hebrew, in Chinese. Why? Because
it would have meant the Quran was not supposed to be understood it was supposed to be rattled off and read in a melodious tone. But that was not the case. Around was revealed in the Arabic language, to a prophet, who was Arabic Salatu, salam to a nation was Arabic, in order for them to understand it, and to implement it.
And so we have 50 Jews in front of us, and we're now trying to make sense of the 50. Jews. How does the Koran impact upon our daily lives? That is the question we have to answer.
By what do we live?
What is that which dictates our lives? Is it America is in Britain is African government? Is it the TV? Is your chef, your mom, your molana? Is that your mother, your father, your brother? What dictates your life? What rules your life? What tells you what is right and what is wrong?
In the term of the Sahaba, it was the poor?
What is it today? He's a good do you go to the poor or when you have a problem?
Do you ask somebody what is the Quran say about my problem?
Or do you say well, that's a wise man, you know, my father is a wise man. My mother is a wise woman. So I take their advice. That was not what the Sahaba said.
That was not what this happens to have. I said, What does Allah say? What does Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam say?
They they look for answers.
So we know that the Sharia law in Islam has its objectives
and its aims and goals. The law in Islam has six goals.
There are six reasons
why allows for how the law gave us the law, the law of
when somebody steals something happens. That's the law. When somebody matters, there is a law
for every infraction, and disobedience, there is a law.
But are these laws just laws to punish?
No.
The scholars tell us and particularly a scholar by the name of Ashoka it
was it the Lucien scholar, very great thinker of Islam, a shout out to me.
He said
that looking at the law of Islam, Allah subhanho wa Taala had six divine purposes for the law.
And I'm not going to give them in any particular order. One is, law has been given and made law to protect the person,
the physical person, to protect the possessions of people, not Muslims, the persons, the possessions of people, number three,
the honor of people. Number four,
the minds of people, a person has the right to think and to express himself.
Because in a good manner,
to protect.
Awkward I say I said the south
to protect the dean,
the religion, all religions with Judaism, whether it's Christianity, the law was sent to protect these things, Your Honor, your religion,
your possessions, your life,
that of your family. So law was not just sent to punish No. That's the objective of law.
So suddenly, the Koran has objectives the Quran has certain aims.
Every surah Allah swamp is revealed with a particular objective in mind. Surah is not just a lot of verses strung together
and we read in a very melodious voice here Mashallah Baraka La La ogma with zero understanding, so zero impact, zero effect succeeding like me speaking to you in Chinese today, if I can deliver my
In Chinese
what would you do?
First of all, you don't understand what I'm saying. Secondly, you think I'm crazy.
There's no single Spanish man.
We live in South Africa we speak English and Afrikaans. He speaks to us in Chinese.
So suddenly we read the Quran.
He didn't understand it. It's madness.
To put Baraka Yes. But there's a harbor read the Koran, not for Baraka lichten feve, execution to carry out. So as I said last week, the objective of Surah Al Baqarah is what
is a program for Muslims in how to manage the world?
Listen carefully. What is the objective of Surah Al Baqarah how to manage the world not to manage the Muslims of Cape Town, not how to manage the Muslims of South Africa. But Muslims have been put here to manage the world that's our job. That is why in Islam we are called an oma and oma that goes beyond geographical boundaries. And oma in regera no nations and Omar Where is one leader and Omar that are both only the Quran and Muhammad Allah Salah.
So in Islam, there are no exemptions. In Islam, there are no Lebanese in Islam, there are no Pakistanis or Indonesians or Malaysians in Islam, we are only Muslim.
We have no borders, we are borderless people.
And that was I was in the beginning.
So, the objective thing of Surah Baqarah is to manage the world alswamitra gave this Amana this dress to many nations, some of them failed, some of them were successful.
And at the time of Muhammad Salah Allah say natural baugher as I said over a period of nine years continuously
and what was the what was the the the the the management principle, the management principle was for Muslims to do three things
to establish peace, happiness, and justice upon the earth, to autonomy to construct a physical world that would be prosperous and beautiful.
Number three, he Daya allows one that has given us the responsibility of guiding the rest of humanity
guiding the rest of humanity
so
when we look as I said last week at the Baccarat we find that the first five verses deals were the qualities of the moutoku in the successful ones first five verses and if la named Albuquerque tabula rasa
they're called the McLean the God fearing the God conscious. And in the next two verses deal with the coffee rune, those who rejected allows ohana, tala. And the last and the next 13 verses five plus two plus 13 is how much
doing devices. So you should go home and read the first 20 words of soccer Baccarat. What does that tell us? That gives us the three main groups in the world The only three groups in the world.
Those who are not conscious to caffeine or those who reject Allah, three, Muna cocoon and novocaine is allowed Swan respins 13 verses on the monasticon because of the three groups they're the most dangerous
alswamitra first tasted Adam, then Allah subhanaw taala tested and he was successful allows for a white collar or a blue collar America. In each island, fill out the Khalifa. When Allah say to the angels, oh my angels I'm going to put in the world. My president marries my CEO,
my manager
Adam
he will act on my behalf to manage the world.
And allow swans Allah gave him the tools to add them as marcoola. The tools Allah gave to him, Allah says, and we taught them the names of everything.
This was the technology at the time, consistent with a time in which Adam lives which are lost when I gave to Adam rsfsr second group of people that were tasted by la Sultana was the Bani Israel.
And the third group of people, third person, they failed, of course, in their duty to manage the world. And finally, our last one a gave the mantle of a man of trust to nab Ibrahim malissa to Salam. And he is the example of a successful application of the management of the world of course, also Muhammad sallahu wa sallam and many others. But these are the examples which are lost hunter has given to us in the Quran.
That philosophy this week, last week, I said, Why is Surah Baqarah called Surah Al Baqarah.
So at the back of the cow, why is it called the suit of the cup many people say that it's called the surah of the car because Allah subhanaw taala details in the surah the narrative of the cow
but there are many other stories in
why Allah, Allah specifically
target the story of the cow and no other stories many,
many stories in Surabaya
because the story of the cow and I'll tell you what it's about later on. It embodies and encapsulates
all the big fundamental errors
that were made by the bunnies in or the Jews in the management of the world.
That's number one, number two, along so how to Tyler's given the name shuttle
in order for Muslims not to commit the same mistakes
and make the same disobedience is that was made by the Jews or the bunnies right in their time, which led to the failure.
The first
this obedience
or mistake, which the Jews made was
incessant argumentation.
Those are two big words trying to find a smaller word in says the organization mean stray continuous arguing continuous questioning what is your like a three year old waipa why what is that? Why why why we leave that for three year olds.
If you should carry on like that, you know you will be a pain. So that was the first thing which allows us not to do
and that is why a low to a high note Allah
explains this album argumentative nature of the Jews in the suit in in the story of the cow what is the narrative of the last article it says
from verse 67 to 71 Why is Carla musala COVID
Let me say to these people
in the La Jolla
bajo Baccarat
Allah revealed to me Musa osato do people the Jews, the bunnies are in. They should slaughter a cow
Kahlo
at Luna, Hulu. So what was the response of the Jews?
You take us for jokes,
making jokes with us. What is nonsense? We must have What is this?
called? An akuna myalgia Helene Musa says What do you mean? My I seek refuge in Allah subhanaw taala from what you're saying?
And I'm not ignorant of what Allah has revealed to me every I tell you what was revealed to me.
By Ilan Omar, he said fine, so I'll let him be sorted out fine. Okay, we'll go to the car but
ask your note. To make clear to us what kind of car you want us to slaughter.
argumentation, Carlo camisa and back Allah revealed in a coup in Dhaka rotten
in Iraq.
To do while allow saga says that this car is neither old nor young, should neither be old news our non binary should be in between. Not old, no young
Maroon
Allah says cows should not be old, no too young.
In between so carry out the command of our last panel Donna said wait a minute, wait a minute.
Go back and ask Allah, you're begging Lana Malala.
asked what should be the color of the cow
color in Abuja in Bukhara. sophora
kazbek Allah says the color should be a yellowish color.
Soccer or low Noir. So now the bright yellow color that is pleasing to the eye when you look at it.
So now you think they would say fine, you know, there's no not a winner.
Go back.
Go ask your Lord,
to explain to us
make it more clear.
Very clear. In Baccarat Baja, Elena, they said because all the cars look the same.
A specific goal he must be more specific than the color and the size and the age.
And if he can explain our work and tell us exactly what kind of car we must slaughter in sha Allah lamotta do see that what do they say? What was the use
in sha Allah? But what was the intention? intention of getting up? That's why I say you know the I said two weeks ago and I maybe I should just go back there because I think I said some things that people may not understand. I said, if you have no intention of telling the truth and no intention of doing what you're going to do, please do not use the word inshallah.
Why? Because in you be because you will be committing a sin, a greatest sin upon the greatest sin.
Now visa Salam said, I fell into the signs of a bona fide three
in the header when he speaks he lies
so if you make a promise, which you're not going to keep, you are first of all,
doing that
which goes against
your personality as a good Muslim.
If you compound that era,
by saying in sha Allah using unless name Subhana Allah, you are putting in yourself in the fall cryptocurrency and then evisa in the Quran says in the moon as a cleaner, feeder kill as feminine. The moon will be in the bottom of the Jana shaker will be on top of the monitor.
So to avoid nifa by telling lies.
Secondly, to break your promise. Thirdly, you use the name of a last one.
But if you know the chances are really that you're very sincere in saying yes, tomorrow or Yes, next week, or Yes. After three months
and it's fine. But do you really know in your heart you think yourself say my childhood inshallah will be Allah but in sha Allah say my child
is in Joburg it will circle modern essays I know I've been Jabbar I still say inshallah still tell Allah
so it's very important that we constrain ourselves when we use the name of Allah subhanho wa Taala. So the juicy
in insha Allah Allah love of Dido inshallah we will be guided
So allow us to reveal to the to the to the Jews color in Abuja kulu in dakara, la de Lune de la allows finalises what
Allah says finally description of the car was it is a car not trained to plow the earth. Neither train to carry water was a llama la she had a
beautiful perfect car, Carlo follow an energy tabula for the
American Academy of Allah, Allah, Allah says, then they should go find out
After all the argumentation they said they could. No, no, no. They wanted to go through all the things which they wanted to know.
So now they say okay Moosa, now you've come with the truth. Allah says, and reluctantly.
What do you do? After they were given everything, all the knowledge and description? They reluctantly slaughtered the car. Now what was this about? What is this slaughtering about?
What was the wisdom behind this, a man was killed
of the people of the B'nai Israel,
he was murdered, and his murderer could not be found, nobody knew who killed the man. And a great disputation arose amongst the Jews as to how to locate and find the murderer.
And then Allah revealed to musasa to Sarah
acid to slaughter a cow.
And what did they what should they do, they should take a piece of the flesh of the cow
and B, and he, the dead men with it. And Allah says, the dead men will come back to life, and he will tell you who made it him.
Why?
Because the Jews were a crassly materialistic nation.
was, is,
and will be, Muslims are not far from that.
allows them to to show them.
And we know that Jews were the most advanced in medicine in their time.
Allah first wanted to show them that allows for how antalis Allah, Allah is most powerful of all things. That's number one. Number two allows well done I wanted to show them that the dead can make the living cat the dead can make the dead alive, I was looking at this and I think, what is the meaning of this, a dead piece of beef, eat it against it man, and the dead man comes alive.
I can I do not know the Divine Wisdom, but I can sense that today we have we can we can we can identify with some identification.
Today, they take a cell dead cell,
cell phone from dead people, living people, they put it in a dish and they grow
a heart whatever they grow.
And then God is placed in a loving man and that man lives
And apart from that, they take organs from animals.
They the animals, particularly pigs, pigs heart, and they put it in human beings and the human being lifts and that may be the reason also why we call it pig because pigs probably made for spare parts for human beings
because I was using why Allah make a big EDC Vitara Why make it in the first place? You know?
Why make something and then say I made it but it's Haram. Yes, it's haram to eat but you ask any doctor for dinner? I have some in my family so I can ask them these questions. They say the best match
is the organs of a pig. It's the closest
to the human being. So that's what I love. So nothing that allows one that has done that's why we call is like eating a human being. I don't know. It's just what I'm saying that my opinion Please don't.
Please don't ask a doctor do some reading on it. So a lot. Of course when they did this, Amanda Kamala gave them because then they realized
that all this argumentation was excellent argumentation in disbelief.
So that was the first mistake that I would make.
The second thing that the surah speaks about is
that this nation
of CEOs of hula
have the representatives of all on this earth to manage the world needs to be distinctive of all other nations.
It can't be subordinate to any other nation, nor can it be an imitator of another nation.
This is for the young people today.
lesson I want to give the example which Allah gives. The first example Allah gives
is in verse 104. Where for the first time in the Quran, Allah uses the words. Yeah. The
first time in the Quran,
Allah uses the words yeah you are Latina meaning are you people who believe are you people of faith?
What does Allah say? In surah? Wonderful.
Allah says your levena Amano, la takamura inna waku Gardner was
allowed to have a handle on wants to make the Nation of Muhammad a distinct definition
and not distinctive in the way they look.
Distinctive in the way they think,
distinctive in their worldview.
There is no Hadith of the Prophet who says you must wear a bow or jacket like this.
There is no I in the Quran. That is how you must dress. You're only required to dress modestly and beautifully when you come to the masjid.
Kudo Xena taco. Allah says and put on your Xena
not base clothes most beautiful attire
is the cool Liberty when you go to infamous cheat not only on a Friday, but all the time anytime.
So what is this verse a Latina amanu laka coolala says are you people who believe do not use the word raw
stringencies Allah says, Do not use the word Rhino. Rhino means
arise a shepherd. Rhino means Allah says
do not say to the prophets of Allah, Allah
be our Shepherd
guide us
walk
around with say us would
make us understand.
take a while for you to understand. So don't worry.
What is this mean? You see the Jews used to come to the Navy.
And is to use the word Rhine and Nora Anna has a very close relationship to a Jewish word. Which means
I heard and I don't hear
right in Hebrew has
a meaning to say we are and we don't hear another three year we disobey. We hear and we don't hear a lot.
Don't use the words even it's an Arabic word that the Jews use in order to insult
us use the correct word on dorna. When you go to tell him make us understand or Mohammed Salah if we don't understand make us understand.
So what does Allah say to us allows father saying to us is even in your language.
And the way you express yourself do not use the language of the kuffar.
Not always happen to me certain instances.
I mean, they give us lots of we I mean especially young people use lots of terms, which comes from the west.
terminology. Sometimes you have young people speak and you don't understand anymore what they say.
Because they've got a special kind of slang which they use to communicate with allows addresses don't do that you are a distinctive woman even insofar as your most Alhaji expressions are concerned, you should be a distinctive nation.
Why does Allah say the last one of verse 109 Allah says one day Kathy Roman and Nikita loja do come? Do an upcoming body monochrome Kufa, Alzheimer's disease, because the purpose of the non Muslim
allows harmless they wish by changing your means of expression.
By making you think like they think use the same word same expressions. They want to
remove you from your faith.
They want to
tell you that we are you see, we bet a lot. No, don't imitate them. And don't be subordinate to them.
Then alswamitra goes on to speak about Nabil Brahim arisa to Salam.
And Allah says, Why Rebecca Ibrahim? Or a boo boo kalimat in fact amount Allah says, and Ibrahim was the one who passed the test of management of the world completely all the cases were given to you when you were thrown into the fire
as a young man that was a first taste that he passed the greatest test
and what was that test that taste as you know, it was a test you in a minute by this massive fire and they couldn't turn him into the fire and shaker came and said, no problem. Make a swing far away and swing him into the fire.
Today, the views are rocket hopefully not the rocket mass masses. Hopefully rockets actually fall on buildings.
Amazing others rockets that Hamas in over Israel didn't fall on buildings. They fell in the sea and open land.
900 rockets.
Six people killed.
That's where we are.
So Ibrahim then was thrown into the fire.
He flew through the air gibreel came and said we prime Allah sent me to you to ask you anything you want. I'll do it. I'ma do it immediately. You are the rain to extinguish the fire. Fire. I'll do that. You want me to pick you up and take you away somewhere else? Whatever you want. So what was his answer?
He answered.
What our answer should be today for everything that comes up cross our path, he said
to gibreel Am I a Laker
fan?
Is it LGB as far as you're concerned? I don't need you.
He's gay is going on is going is this is
he seeing this massive fire in front of him? And he's gonna land in this fire within seconds. He says you I don't need you.
To be highly has to be mean to
Allah knows my condition. I don't have to ask him for anything.
What is that? Complete? Absolute taco. Taco taco. That's complete. Absolute. Absolute.
To ask Allah. Allah knows my condition my boss asked
me
through here.
Sorry.
Allah didn't tell the brain Okay. Now leaving so right. You know, the stubborn old a young man? No. Allah said, Allah didn't charge you
put under fire? No, I was talking directly to the fire. Why? Because Ibrahim appealed directly to Allah. No intermediaries, no tawassul
because the big thing nowadays amongst us all you have to ask the provider the Prophet, and then you're to ask via this, Wally Enter to ask via your share of the shield.
And we forgot in the Quran. We forgotten about the Viva Rahim, we have forgotten about Muhammad Sallallahu sallam,
and justify these things by walk or by crook.
And what do they say? They say the same things as a juicy tomato salad.
What kind of come You know,
we don't understand what to do about
it. Just notice it. No, no, no, no, wait a minute, you know, we weren't these are the maybe the way out here. So you know, they come with all kinds of funny ideas which they got from some funny place and some funny incidents. And they say Oh, see, you could ask this on you could ask why the date in your Gaza. The Hello. Brian said allows for Hunter is aware of my condition. I don't have to ask nobody for nothing
else in the story.
Because maybe that's the wrong word to use. But the buck stops with
me. Stop by a lawyer who can go away. You can turn a million dollars to me on the go. Ultimately, the decision lies with a loss
isn't it
Tell me if I'm wrong. Tommy now Who else makes decisions about the world
your
complex decisions about who
to talk to Him belongs
the meaning of the heavens and the earth
isn't it
isn't it so
we can dispute that who didn't Muhammad make to our to sorrow masala when he was when he had a problem who did he ask?
Now is violence very debatable in the Kaaba is in it
is not a single instance we're gonna be the persecuted him they killed his followers in Makati ever go there to the grave and our Mecca da
Not once.
Who did you ask
him to ask who the Obama call me? Call me. Can you call me?
I will answer them. So that was Ibrahim Allison's. So that was it first says your first days is always a test and that is our test today. Cool, you're going to trust.
So he passed the test of leaving his wife and his child in the desert
to slaughter a son. All those tests he passed.
And when he finished pass all the tests
What did he say to our laws?
He may do all he says say warming the Yeti.
Color Lionello added volume in he said Oh ALLAH and of my offspring
make on my often also CEOs of the of the world of his offspring, of course was
when Allah subhanho wa Taala promised Nabil Ibrahim that
allows for how can a world not make
those who are disobedient to him.
managers of the world
wait for timing, they will be there, but they won't become successful managers of the world.
And allows was accepted. So
it's important, I think at this juncture
to look at these three things, the taste of other tastes of the Jews and the taste of Ibrahim, Adam passed the test. The Jews failed the test. Ibrahim passed the test, the management test
all three of these narratives or stories as recorded, each begins with a verse which clarifies the domain of management, the scope of management, the area of management.
And all of these verses deal
with the test of obedience to Allah.
First the story of the act of Adam.
Allah introduces Adams narrative to us in the Quran by saying why it's called buka lil Monica in Ninja.
Allah says, and when Allah say to the angels, we're going to put Adam as alpha
and then Allah tested him.
So what was it the main Khalifa CEO of the world is test not to eat off.
I suppose if it was a holiday I love to see don't need drones.
What does this test
what is your taste and my taste? What is the taste of our children today?
Same test.
What is the test was Adam will
look at your homes.
Look at your homes. My home your home 10 o'clock children. Janet
flatscreen TV in the bedroom.
Internet. The complete bouquet of all the TV channels the heart desires.
fridge is full of food.
three meals a day plus eating out like 10 times a week.
Or all the brands
even the poorest parents work their tails off
to ensure that the children live in paradise.
And what do you tell your child
my child I give you all these things all I want to do to a good Muslim don't take drugs make Salah
be good
and those very things you tell them not to do
they do it
Take a
look at this
this is gender don't sleeping no toilet no no old age test enjoy you and your wife Mashallah have a great time you know Salah knows that I know
no grades no diabetes no nothing nope you don't need anything you just live here man like you say to your child. I give you accommodation food education. So much Oh, do you wanna
buy me the electric light kitchen? You studying very hard.
And what happens? What did Adam do? Too much luxuries? No good. Even for a profit also
known as luxury bed up here is new that
you want to know that you can do that? No, we are no.
We are not. No, we can't wait till you earn your own money when you could buy it yourself.
So the listen news is fast, don't create agenda. And then when a child turns against the most important thing you tell him to do. Then you say
What happened? What happened
to the children? He was teased out?
So always
when you say three yeses there must be three nose. For every Yes, there must be no don't make it too comfortable. Also, they know they want to get married. Also the other problem with creating Gemini in the house, they don't want to get married to one second.
Everything is your swimming pool in the yard.
So Allah
expelled him from from the jungle. Second is the story the data tip of bunnies real hours allows one to introduce the narrative of a bunny say Allah says
he owes guru Murthy Allah to Allah. Allah says, What does Allah say to them? Listen to Allah says
the things we say to our children who have been spoiled. What do we say to our children?
given you everything Allah says to the misery bunnies an old chobani sino Jews have you forgotten? All the things you need for you? He forgot all the famous that I bestowed upon you say
you wanted lentils and onions and I gave you lentils and onions.
onions and wheat and barley.
We want food from heaven.
Okay, no problem Jews manansala came from heaven food from heaven came stomata, so unless it's Oh Jews
forgotten I've done so many so much I've done for you so much I have done for you.
And I have forgotten to come Allah Allah Allah me most important I have raised you as a nation, above all the nations of the world.
saw the first
this obedience of the Jesus word
in gratitude, in gratitude.
That's why the Quran opens with what the Quran what is the first requirement of a successful manager within a company what on earth the first quality of a successful manager is what is to recognize
the qualities and the gifts that is in his people which was given to him to manage or the organization that he manages, or the company that he manages?
Similarly, Allah says first was Alhamdulillah here, I have the first verse of the Quran is Alhamdulillah we should
show gratitude. That is the first step of success.
Not
what do we say?
Unilever, ecstatic,
yellow pads, you
know, you start by saying, I thank Allah for what
given to me.
Because if it wasn't for law, I would have been nothing.
And as I said last week, it's not your effort that brings your visit it is Allah which gives you a reason.
Some people say but I repeat, because some people work hard in the undertow, some people who are global and they get lots of money, some people don't work at all, and the richest people in the world I just saw last time.
I was stunned when I saw this. Do you know they're amongst the Palestinians living in the West Bank? They are billionaires.
You see this?
A Bellini
living amongst the Palestinians in the West Bank. A billion Excuse me. Your people are dying of starvation. You are a billionaire.
So the first
mistake of the Jews was ingratitude. Then Allah gotta be Brahim.
