00:00:04 --> 00:00:05
			The following conversation
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:08
			10 years ago may have not happened between
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:11
			you and me, but it was one
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:12
			that many were having.
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:17
			Assalamualaikum, bro.
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:21
			Listen, bro.
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:23
			I'm not really happy with the current state
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25
			of our community, especially the university
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:28
			students. I'm sorry to hear this, but what
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:29
			do you mean?
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:30
			Is it obvious?
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:32
			Look at the rise in social media use
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:33
			while we have been exposed to all kinds
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:36
			of social and intellectual attacks to our Deen.
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:37
			Yes.
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:40
			Many Muslims have left Islam. Many are suffering
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:43
			from destructive doubts or have the wrong understanding
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45
			of the Deen. Even my cousins recently they
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:47
			became atheists due to the view that science
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:49
			and religion are incompatible. My auntie man, she's
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:50
			in shock and
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:54
			she looks depressed. She regrets sending them to
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:55
			medical school. I can try and help, bro,
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:56
			but
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
			it would take a while because I'm busy
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:01
			with other people and I'm already dealing with
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:03
			quite a lot. Because to be honest, it's
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:06
			it's getting worse. Subhanallah, bro. What we need
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:08
			is an organization that is dedicated to solving
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:11
			this problem and educating the community, especially our
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:12
			preachers, imams,
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:15
			and even our parents on how to address
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:16
			these modern issues.
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:18
			I agree. But bro, to be frank, we
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:20
			lack the vision at the moment, and we
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:21
			just don't have the money.
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:25
			Bro, this is more important than health. Iman
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:25
			is everything.
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:28
			I agree with you, but look, let's talk
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:29
			about this another time. I really need to
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:29
			go,
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:32
			and, we'll speak later. Inshallah, when the communities
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:34
			start to realize what is happening, the money
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:34
			will come.
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:38
			Now bring yourself back to April
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:39
			2024.
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:41
			Sapiens
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:41
			Institute
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:45
			is here. We have trained over 40,000 people
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			on how to intellectually share and defend Islam.
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:49
			We have produced the world's leading
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:52
			learning platform in the English language
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:54
			dedicated to developing Muslims on how to share
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:58
			and defend the Deen with 16 in-depth courses.
		
00:01:58 --> 00:01:59
			We have created Lighthouse Mentoring
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:02
			that has invested 1,000 of hours focused on
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:06
			mentoring ex Muslims, new Muslims, Muslims with destructive
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:09
			doubts and empowering preachers, teachers, influencers and imams
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:11
			on how to make an impact in the
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:14
			field. We have also published over 15 books
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:15
			that have been printed
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:16
			and downloaded
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:19
			in the 100 of 1,000. We have also
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:21
			supported and empowered numerous organizations
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:24
			all around the world. We were the only
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			English speaking organization to have produced 2 books
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:28
			on Gaza and Palestine
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30
			within 2 months of the genocide and we
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:33
			did not just stop there. We also produced
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:35
			2 audio books, a course on dehumanization
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:38
			and engage in academic
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:41
			and media debates watched by millions of people
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:43
			all around the world and much more, and
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:46
			all of this was done for free. Alhamdulillah
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:49
			brothers and sisters, we have over
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:50
			1250
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:52
			people who have become defenders
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:56
			and our target is 2,000. Become a defender
		
00:02:56 --> 00:03:00
