00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			There's a couple of good news, I want
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:03
			you to all know one thing, is when
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:05
			Allah wants something to happen, He makes it
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:05
			happen.
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:09
			And this is beyond literally, so inshallah we're
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:12
			going to have a couple of things in
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:13
			Jannah Institute.
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:16
			So we're going to have the following, as
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:18
			I told you when we did the summer
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:19
			intensive, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala showed us
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:21
			how much there is a need for learning,
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:24
			and how much there is an interest in
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:26
			learning, which is the two things, it's not
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:28
			only the need but also there is interest.
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:30
			So we decided the following, there's going to
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:33
			be an after-school program for the youth,
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:36
			Islamic studies, not Quran, it's not Tajweed, it's
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:39
			Islamic studies, and we're going to actually divide
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:39
			them.
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:40
			This is one of the things we learned
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:44
			from the summer intensive, so there will be
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46
			a high schooler and there will be a
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:46
			middle schooler.
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48
			I don't have younger yet, I don't have
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:50
			space, unfortunately.
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:52
			Allah will give us inshallah bigger.
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:53
			So we will have two days a week,
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55
			it's going to be five to seven.
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:58
			Alhamdulillah we just finalized the teachers, we finalized
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:02
			the curriculum and everything.
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:05
			So Monday and Wednesday will be the boys
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:09
			five to seven, the high schooler one and
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:12
			the middle schooler, and Tuesdays and Thursdays will
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:14
			be the girls, also five to seven.
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:16
			It's going to be serious, it's not going
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:18
			to be scary, but it's not going to
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:18
			be halaqa.
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			Those of you who were with me in
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:24
			the morning, you've seen the difference between a
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:25
			halaqa and a class.
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:27
			There's a huge difference between a class and
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:28
			a halaqa.
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:30
			Class is you are, we call it passive
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:32
			learning, you're just listening.
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:34
			But in the class, number one is an
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:36
			interactive, and number two, there is work you
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:37
			have to do.
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:38
			And this is what we need for the
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:41
			youth also, to take it more seriously, but
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:42
			it's also going to be fun.
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:45
			It's a one-year program, so starting mid
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			-September in two weeks inshallah, and we will
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49
			end up with June, same breaks of the
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:52
			school and the same breaks for the national
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:53
			holidays, all is that.
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:56
			Okay, and I'm going to say this, and
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:57
			I know I'm going to say it, and
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:58
			I know it's going to happen, but I
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00
			still have to say it.
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:05
			The class size is very small, and it's
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07
			not going to be online, so if you
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:10
			are interested, don't leave it to the last
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:12
			day, because once the class is full, I
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:15
			cannot accept, where will I put them?
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:17
			And the students has a right, so if
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:19
			you are planning, you have all the information,
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:22
			we just finalized it, so if you have
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:25
			all the information is outside, go ahead and
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:25
			register.
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:28
			All the details, everything, it's actually on our
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30
			website, so maybe not today and tomorrow, the
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
			whole detail is going to be very soon.
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:34
			So that's number one, and then once this,
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:36
			probably by the end of September, we will
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:39
			be, I will be teaching a serious class
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:41
			for serious students.
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:44
			It's on Wednesday night, because this is for
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:47
			the people who work and people who can't
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:49
			come in the morning, and this will be
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:51
			a six-week course covering subjects, and you
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:53
			will get this, this is probably by the
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:55
			end of September, but the one that's starting
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:56
			next week is the Year of Knowledge.
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:59
			The Year of Knowledge is mainly an online
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:01
			program, which I've been going for, this is
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:03
			the fourth year, but Alhamdulillah, now we have
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:04
			a space, so it's going to be hybrid.
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:07
			Hybrid meaning some of the classes, you will
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:09
			take it online, because the teachers are not
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:09
			here.
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:12
			One of them is in Malaysia, and one
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:13
			of them is actually in Tennessee, the three
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:14
			ones I teach.
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:18
			The onsite is very limited, I have only
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:23
			two left, because this is serious classes, so
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:28
			the online, online we have close to 60,
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:29
			and I closed it.
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:32
			Normally we take more, but again, but I
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:34
			closed it last week, and today who reached
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:36
			out and they wanted to join, and I
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:37
			said, of course, yes.
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:41
			You know Sean King, the one who just
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:44
			accepted Islam, his wife, and I was like,
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:45
			for sure we'll take her.
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:47
			Allah will put barakah.
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:50
			So please, the reason I'm saying is, if
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:52
			you are thinking and you're planning, do it
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:55
			ASAP, don't do it the last day, because
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:57
			it is very hard for me to say
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:57
			no.
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:00
			Allah, my witness, because how can somebody really
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:02
			wants to learn, and you tell them no,
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:06
			but also there's logistics, and the people who
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:07
			register, they have rights.
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:09
			So these are the main three things, these
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:12
			are the 24, 25-year programs, and then
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:14
			we have the Women Conference.
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:17
			The Women Conference is exactly in four weeks.
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:21
			Saturday the 28th, you have the lineup of
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:23
			these teachers, of these scholars, and it's going
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:26
			to be a very controversial subject, but we
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:28
			have to start talking about the controversial ones,
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:30
			and it is faith and feminism.
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:32
			Can they live together?
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:37
			And it's 12 and above, 12 and above,
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:39
			and there will be babysitting, or there will
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:40
			be child care.
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:42
			It's going to be in Garden Grove, because
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:43
			of the space.
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:46
			And we already have one-fourth filled.
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:50
			So again, if you're planning, don't come at
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:51
			the door like every year.
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:55
			Subhanallah, every year, at the door and says,
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:58
			well, I, whatever, where will I put you?
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00
			So again, here, the registration is open.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03
			The registration here is open, so go ahead
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:05
			if you are interested, and I'm planning, inshallah,
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:06
			it will help.
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:10
			Next day, Sheikh Aisha Prime is staying, so
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:12
			I'm going to do one for the youth
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:14
			only, question and answers.
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:15
			It's going to be me and her only.
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:16
			No mothers.
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:18
			And it's going to be there.
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:19
			This one is not finalized yet.
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:21
			I'm still working on it.
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:23
			So Alhamdulillah, Rabbul Alameen, Allah is opening a
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:25
			lot of khair here, and the only way,
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:27
			and I said the only way, you are
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:32
			really grateful to Allah is by taking these
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:33
			opportunities.
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:34
			Don't say next year.
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:36
			Don't say, well, let's see how it's going
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:37
			to go.
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:39
			Don't do that, because once, you don't know
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:41
			what will happen next year, whether you or
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:43
			me, I'm here, you're here, we're moving, Allah
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:44
			knows.
