You know, we don't see the human being from a post secular or even
postmodern perspective. The human being is not just an abstract
intellect the human being is not just based on language and social
hierarchies that ever changing but rather the human being has a
particular psychology and Allah subhanaw taala alcoholic, the
Creator, He created us and He knows the human being better than
the human being knows the human being. So, we have a very kind of
Pattabhi, Fitri or Rohit type of approach. Because all these things
are a dynamic interplay. As you know, Chef, your master this
Michelle Torah Cola, the aka is according to the majority of the
LMR a function of the caliber and the color, the color lube is
wavers. Right? And it has written Shabbat and showered with the
desires and destructive doubts. He also has diseases like Keba
arrogance, or job SELF amazement, Ria, ostentation and Hassard,
blameworthy jealousy and so on and so forth. And the culture is ever
changing. It's just a loop and the alcohol is within that. So if you
just attack the alcohol, and you know dealing with the heart, no
matter what the uncle receives, is going to be almost irrelevant. Do
you get so we have that approach now? Exactly. So we have our enemy
approach. So to learn knowledge, transformative, not just
informative, because the Quran when it delivers an understanding
of em, it delivers a transformative understanding, when
Allah says is the one who knows equal to the one who doesn't know.
And the verse just before the Allah talks about, you know, the
people who do such die and they pray at night, and they hope in
the mercy of the Lord and so on and so forth. So Adam, is
transformative and are two narrations attribute to Imam
Malik. May Allah have mercy on him when he talks about a minimum.
It's not just memorization, it's a basis for it. But it's not just
that it's an internalization and LM is a norm that Allah puts in
the heart. So we get people to be on a path of enemy because the
enemy would destroy doubts. But also we get people to understand
that that shoe bohart are like parasites because a Sherpa which
the singular for Shabbat, it to be who it resembles something that
it's not. It's a walk, it's a wolf in sheep's clothing. It doesn't
have intellectual veracity. So it's like a parasite that sits on
your hands to drain your Eman. Yeah, so we teach people you need
to strengthen your spiritual heart the culpa has really been Celine
has to be a sound her How do you do that with the vicar of Allah,
with the silhouette with the Salah with the tahajjud with the
recitation of the Quran with the Quran, so we focus on that as
well. We also focus on another strategy on your environment, as
you know, shut the alarm after school to enough stay focus on one
thing, if they give one piece of advice concerning the job, and
they say, it's your environment, you're going to be upon the
religion of your friends, you're going to be raised with those who
you love, you're going to go to the blacksmith, you're going to
smell like the blacksmith, you're going to go to the editors, Salah,
you're going to smell a perfume. You know that hadith of the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam. And even the story of the
people of the cave, you know, the dog happened to be with the pious
people, Allah saved the people he also saved the dog is one of the
one of the exegete says, Well, why is the dog mentioned? Well, Allah
is kind of telling us that if a dog happened to be saved, because
it was it was with pious people, then what would Allah do to your
life, if you will, good people. So we talk about environment, and we
talk about social psychology, all of these things, then we talked
about making do as well, nothing is going to work without the help
of Allah subhanho wa Taala you to express your utter dependency on
off some add on the ultimately independent. And we have to
understand that everything happens because of Allah's Iraida and
Qudra. And the eyes, the essence of worship, was showing our
humility in our basement and our artistic dependency on him. And
through that, we could get some transformations as well. Then
there are so many other strategies that we adopt, we also talk about
that you have to have critical thinking. I call it a Quranic way
of thinking, because the Quran has an amazing structure, especially
when Allah was talking about
his nature, his nature, not his nature, but the natural phenomena
that Theophany if you like, the manifestation of Allah's names and
attributes are what gets us to think in a particular way. And we
get people to think in a Quranic way and that helps a lot with
regards to critical thinking and dealing with your heart and are so
many other strategies. We don't have to go through all of them but
basically we we talk about the strategies we help people
implement them because we believe in the kind of a thing is a
proverb, right said if you give a man a fish, you're gonna feed him
for a day. But if you teach a man how to fish, you feed him for a
lifetime. So yeah, our strategy is that we give you an answer, but we
give you the strategies, or the way for the path to follow in
order to basically do Shabbat. You know, what I find amazing is that
and before I comment, there was somebody asking on Instagram for a
full picture
or you can hop onto YouTube Safina Sati channel and you'll see the
live stream, you can see the full picture. For some reason
Instagram, jams us into this narrow picture. And when we have a
guest, we don't see you don't see the guests faces. So hop onto
YouTube, that's where everyone is at anyone that's where the chat is
out. That's where all the chit chat is happening and also it's a
better picture. Now, one thing that's amazing that I'm realizing
is everybody who is sincerely seeking the improvement, number
one, the salvation of themselves. And number two,
the the benefit of others is slowly slowly coming to the same
conclusion. Right? And those conclusions are that it takes a
balanced diet,
to quote unquote, save and can somebody say that someone saved
another person? Yes, you can. Because Allah use you to save
them. Right? And Allah uses something to save them and it is
permissible as to attribute the action to the means. The proof of
that is good, yet our furcal medical melt, say the angel of
death makes you die. Well we know that is Allah Who takes your soul
and makes you die. But Allah attributes the action to the
to the caught to the medium that he uses to fulfill His will.
Likewise, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is the Quran says
well, equally Coleman head, every people has a gut, right?
Therefore, there's absolutely nothing wrong with saying so and
so saved someone. So we don't believe he saved him. Absolutely.
We believe as a means. Right? He saved him. So when we're and when
you bring someone from a doubt, to belief
at that moment, you save them, like we don't know how we are
going to die. That's true. But at the moment, you did save them.
Right. And so this concept and this approach to trying to save
people from the doubts of disbelief and the the storm of
desires. Okay, Shaohua and shovel hat you heard
the word sugu hat shadow hat is doubts, things that are doubtful.
Well, it's a mirage. It looks like one thing, but it's actually
another thing altogether. That is the job of the devil IBLEES his
job, that's why Pharaohs a magician, he makes it look like
snakes. They're just ropes, right? Likewise,
certain phrases, they sound like they make sense. And they're full
of mercy. In fact, it's full of violence. And it makes no sense.
Right? And, but the but what I'm saying is that everyone's coming
to the realization that you need companionship, not knowledge, and
spirituality.
Like you can't do with any of these. Like when you're when
you're arguing with somebody, there's no point to argue with
somebody whose heart doesn't want to be with you in the first place.
And when you do when someone does want to be with you, it's actually
very easy to say almost like a pluck the person wants to believe
something, it becomes clear what it is, what the matter is to them.
issues become easy to discuss because they want the truth What
does Allah say about the worst possible dispute would be a
marital dispute, right? And Hola. So, this is like the most
emotional, the most clouded your mind is ever going to get is in a
family and marital dispute. Right? Allah subhanaw taala says if, if
they wish to come together, then a conclusion will be found a
resolution will be made good. If the two which now if only one
party wishes to come together, and the others like not, I'm done with
this, you won't find a resolution. So likewise, how do you get people
the question is now how do you get people's heart to be in the
position to receive the right arcade and the right belief is
companionship and it's a lot of spirituality and that's the
program that we've been running here. Now it makes me happy to see
like you're running the same exact operation. I've said I don't know
the London scene but I figured I mean if you if you and Mohammed
Mohammed Hajj I've ever ran a center of Masjid with like, rooms
beyond it for other things that you guys do studio, hangout room,
chill out room, rec room, whatever. And then a mess it in
the front. I mean, that would probably be at it would have to be
that most jumping center I'd ever you could ever have in probably
Western Europe, right with both your personalities, both your
outgoing natures. Right.
But I mean, everyone has a specialty but you get people
realizing now that the friendship element of things is so important.
