The speakers discuss the meaning of "hammed" in Arabic language and the use of "hammed" in verb phrases, such as "hammed." They also touch on the state of humanity and the danger of mass destruction caused by animals. The "right degree" of humanity affects energy levels and the "irascible power" is the ability to see and touch the "hammed" power. The "hasith" belief system is designed to make people feel like they are in control and that everyone is doing the same thing. The success of a meal promotion has affected people, but the negative impact of social media on mental health is also discussed.

00:00:01 --> 00:00:03
			Alhamdulillah, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:07
			the Qur'an, يَقْتَرَبَ لِلنَّاسِ حِسَابُهُمْ وَهُمْ فِي
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:15
			غَفَلَةٍ مُعْرِضُونَ that people's reckonings are drawing nearer
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:19
			and yet people are in heedlessness, not thinking
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:20
			about that.
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:25
			يَقْتَرَبَ لِلنَّاسِ حِسَابُهُمْ يَوْمَ الْحِسَابِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ the
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:28
			Day of Judgment, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:31
			described the state of these people is that
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:34
			they're وَهُمْ فِي غَفْلَةٍ, غفلة is a word
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:36
			in Arabic, it has a lot of different
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:40
			meanings but generally whenever you have a word
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:42
			that begins with غَيْن, it has to do
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:44
			with some kind of covering or something being
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:48
			hidden, something being veiled like غابة, نغفرة, to
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:53
			cover over and so the basic meaning of
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:54
			it is that people are in a state
		
00:00:54 --> 00:01:00
			of heedlessness غَفْلَة, the غافل is heedless, مغفل
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:03
			is a simpleton, a fool, somebody that can
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:07
			be easily tricked is مغفل, somebody that other
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:11
			people can fool them is a simpleton, so
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:13
			the idea that people are in a state
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:16
			of غفلة is a very strong Qur'anic
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:18
			idea, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:22
			the Qur'an وَلَقَدْ ذَرَأْنَا لِدَهَنَّ مَا كَثِيرًا
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:26
			مِّنَ الْجِنِّ وَالْإِنسِ We have prepared for the
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:33
			* many multitudes of the jinn, unseen creatures
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:38
			and the ins, human beings لَهُمْ قُلُوبٌ لَا
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:41
			يَفْقَهُونَ بِهَا They have intellects, here the word
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:44
			قلب means intellect, they have intellects but they
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:46
			don't use them, they don't understand with their
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:51
			intellects, لَهُمْ قُلُوبٌ لَا يَفْقَهُونَ بِهَا لَهُمْ أَعْيُونٌ
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:56
			They have eyes لَا يُبْصِرُونَ بِهَا But they
		
00:01:56 --> 00:02:01
			don't see with their eyes لَهُمْ قُلُوبٌ لَا
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:05
			يَفْقَهُونَ بِهَا لَهُمْ أَعْيُونٌ لَا يُبْصِرُونَ بِهَا وَلَهُمْ
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:09
			آذَانٌ And they have ears لَا يَسْمَعُونَ بِهَا
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:14
			But they don't hear أُولَٰئِكَ كَالْأَنْعَامُ Those people
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:19
			are like dumb beasts like cattle and sheep
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:21
			but then the Qur'an says بَلْ هُمْ
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:28
			أَضَلُ No and this is a rhetorical استدراك
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:31
			in Arabic بَلْ is used to clarify something
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:33
			if you made a mistake or said something
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:37
			that wasn't clear here it's used rhetorically they're
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:44
			like animals no بَلْ هُمْ أَضَلُ why أُولَٰئِكَ
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:47
			هُمْ الْغَافِلُونَ Because they're in a state of
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:50
			heedlessness now if you look at the animal
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:54
			kingdom you will not find animals in a
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:57
			state of heedlessness animals no matter what they're
		
00:02:57 --> 00:03:00
			doing are always in a state of awareness
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:03
			if you watch an animal eating even a
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:06
			dog it'll immediately sense if somebody comes near
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:10
			it if you watch a rabbit eating rabbits
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:14
			move their ears around why because they're worried
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:17
			there's something that threatens them there's some danger
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:22
			most animals have very sensitive ears and eyes
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:25
			if you watch rats or mice if you
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:27
			watch a mouse come out of a hole
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:29
			a mouse doesn't just saunder out of the
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:33
			hole the mouse comes out slow it moves
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:35
			its head around the same with the lizard
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:37
			if you watch a lizard come out of
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:39
			its hole a lot can be learned from
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:42
			animals that's why allah uses them as metaphors
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:45
			in the quran if you watch a lizard
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:47
			come out of a hole a lizard like
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:52
			this the arabs say more bewildered than the
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:54
			lizard because the lizard looks like he's bewildered
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:57
			what he's really doing is he's checking is
		
00:03:57 --> 00:04:01
			there any danger out there animals are constantly
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:05
			aware of danger they're always aware of danger
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:11
			why because their their existence is threatened and
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:15
			that awareness if they're not aware they're endangering
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:20
			themselves they're endangering their pride if they're lions
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:23
			or their flock if they're sheep that's why
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:26
			in in the in the dumbest of animals
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:29
			you have that we domesticate not animals in
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:33
			nature animals that are domesticated need a shepherd
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:39
			because they've humans have domesticated them they feel
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:44
			safe they're in fences their food is there
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:45
			they don't have to forage for it so
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:47
			they start feeling safe so then you bring
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:50
			in the right but if you go out
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:53
			in nature animal fish are constantly watch a
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:55
			fish they turn all at the same time
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:59
			if they sense anything fish are constantly aware
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:04
			because like the arabs one fish big fish
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:07
			eat little fish so fish are always aware
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:09
			there's a lot of animals that have uh
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:11
			they'll only come out of their shell like
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:13
			a turtle it'll come out of the shell
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:16
			if it senses any danger it goes back
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:18
			into the shell there's animals that that's their
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:20
			hole the same thing they'll run back to
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:23
			their hole the jar boy has two one
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:25
			one there it checks if it's safe it'll
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:27
			go out if it's not it goes out
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:29
			the other one it's called a nafta which
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:31
			is where the arabs get monastic from because
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:34
			that's where hypocrites are always have exits exit
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:38
			strategy but that's why allah says that these
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:42
			people are more astray than animals because animals
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:44
			are not in a state of heedlessness about
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:49
			the the danger that is threatening them but
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:52
			humans are in heedlessness they they lie around
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:55
			an animal if they sense fire they immediately
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:58
			run you watch any animal you put fire
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:01
			near an animal and they flee what do
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:02
			people do they see a fire they say
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:06
			let's go check the fire out they're curious
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:12
			because this is the type heedlessness man is
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:16
			is so clever his cleverness kills him this
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:19
			is the state of human beings but allah
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:23
			warns of that state allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:26
			'ala says about the people of the cities
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:35
			do people feel safe in these cities that
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:38
			are harm won't come in the night time
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:47
			while they're sleeping do people feel safe during
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:50
			the daytime that our harm won't come to
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:53
			them and they're playing why does allah use
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:56
			play he doesn't say they're working because if
		
00:06:56 --> 00:07:00
			you have no purpose in your life in
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:03
			what you're doing then you're playing that's what
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:06
			love is it's it's an activity that has
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:11
			no purpose other than entertainment that's that's what
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:14
			games are they're simply to entertain people and
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:16
			so this is what allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:17
			'ala is saying about people they're in a
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:24
			state of heedlessness do they feel safe from
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:31
			the design of god the only people that
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:33
			feel safe from the the design of god
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:42
			who are they the losers the losers same
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:47
			word surely by time by the passage of
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:51
			time man humanity is in a state of
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:54
			loss you're losing time your time is running
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:56
			out you've got a clock on your on
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:58
			your hand that will tell you 12 hours
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:01
			you also have a clock that allah has
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:05
			designed is an internal clock it's got 50
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:09
			years 75 years 40 years 30 years and
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:12
			that clock comes to an end that's it
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:14
			that you you don't you don't get a
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:17
			battery recharged if your clock breaks down here
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:19
			you go and get it fixed no it's
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:21
			over and then people what do they say
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:27
			let me go back i'll do good that's
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:29
			what people say that's the state of people
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:33
			is a state of heedlessness people are walking
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:37
			around daydreaming they're completely unaware i was taking
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:40
			my children across the street yesterday uh it
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:43
			was at night and and they had ridden
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:45
			somewhere i rode with them and and i
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:47
			said look when you go across it you
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:49
			have to be completely aware because these people
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:53
			are sleeping they're driving around in a they're
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:57
			daydreaming people are on automatic pilot and just
		
00:08:57 --> 00:08:59
			to prove my point as i stepped off
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:02
			the curve and i had the right away
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:04
			and the pedestrian things had a sign saying
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:08
			you know walk 10 9 7 6 8
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:12
			and a car swirl almost hit me coming
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:16
			around and this lady looks at me and
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:18
			like she she didn't even see me just
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:22
			to prove the point you know that could
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:25
			have been it for me but that's the
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:27
			state people are in they're in a complete
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:29
			state of heedlessness when you're driving out there
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:33
			driving is ibadah because you have a a
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:36
			weapon of mass destruction behind you that's what
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:38
			you've got there that's a weapon of mass
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:40
			destruction and you don't give weapons of mass
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:44
			destruction to idiots a car can kill large
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:46
			numbers of people you can you can kill
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:49
			50 people on the freeway now that's a
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:52
			we had 30 people died 33 people died
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:56
			in virginia it's a national catastrophe you know
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:58
			how many people died yesterday on in automobile
		
00:09:58 --> 00:10:02
			accidents but people don't think of that but
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:05
			but it's the same type of heedlessness that's
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:06
			what people are in they're in a state
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:08
			of and that is what the quran is
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:11
			warning about don't be in that state don't
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:13
			be in that state don't be worse than
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:16
			animal because animals aren't in that state animals
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:21
			are thinking about danger danger they're aware of
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:23
			their enemies we're not aware of our enemies
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:30
			those are enemies of man just like every
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:32
			animal out there has natural enemies that it's
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:36
			worried about constantly it's vigilant about why because
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:39
			it doesn't want to lose its life and
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:42
			humans should be conscious of losing their eternal
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:46
			life that's that's that's what we're here for
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:50
			we're here to prepare if you look imam
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:56
			rahab is bahani says that allah has given
		
00:10:56 --> 00:11:00
			us three powers who that he put in
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:03
			the human being the first power is called
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:08
			which is a a power that we share
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:11
			with animals it's called appetitive and it's part
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:13
			of our animal nature because human is high
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:16
			one but he's high one not to collect
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:19
			the arab say an articulate or a rational
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:25
			animal but that power the ability to to
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:30
			this power of appetite is a is a
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:34
			healthy thing when it's kept in check and
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:37
			that's the the masharab the makal and the
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:42
			mankah eating drinking and procreation that that that
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:45
			that's the shahwa that human beings begin and
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:48
			then you have the quwa al-ghadabiya which
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:52
			is called the irascible power or faculty that
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:54
			that god has put into man and this
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:57
			relates to the emotions it's why people get
		
00:11:57 --> 00:12:00
			angry and that's put in there for a
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:03
			reason because you should get angry about things
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:06
			that should elicit proper anger but you should
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:09
			get angry for the right reasons in the
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:12
			right degree at the right time and towards
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:15
			the right object you don't just get angry
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:18
			there's people now walking around they're just filled
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:21
			with rage they're filled with anger they'll get
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:25
			angry at the slightest thing because that's their
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:28
			state that's the hub that they're in because
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:31
			the the irascible self has overwhelmed them just
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:34
			like there's people now just looking for there's
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:37
			people 40 million downloads of * in this
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:41
			country every day 40 million the highest *
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:45
			downloading going on per capita are in muslim
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:48
			countries you can look at the google you
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:50
			can look at the google research on it
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:53
			and i'm reading a book on this subject
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:54
			where i can't even believe it what's going
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:58
			on out there because people are complete slaves
		
00:12:58 --> 00:13:04
			of their selves and that's total heedlessness you
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:05
			couldn't do something like that unless you were
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:08
			in a complete state of heedlessness that's what
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:11
			it is it's total heedlessness and now shaitan
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:15
			has vehicles has has their their their machines
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:18
			and technology that can completely destroy a human
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:22
			being completely you'll you'll put out your inner
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:24
			eye blind it it's like it's like taking
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:27
			a you know you're the uh the the
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:29
			scholars of this science say the inner eye
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:31
			is more sensitive than the outer eye the
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:34
			spiritual eye is more sensitive than the outer
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:35
			eye just like when you get a little
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:38
			speck of sand in your eye you can't
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:40
			see you just want to clear your eyes
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:44
			anything that you're looking at that is haram
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:45
			that's what it's doing to your inner eye
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:49
			but worse it's like stabbing it it's like
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:51
			stabbing it and that's what people are doing
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:53
			that's what there is it's all heedlessness that's
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:55
			why imam al-junaid said that the real
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:59
			root cause of all sin crime evil in
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:02
			the world is ghafla that's what he said
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:05
			that is the root crime human beings are
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:10
			sleepwalkers in the insomnambulant states not aware that
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:11
			that the time is coming we're gonna have
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:17
			to meet allah subhanahu wa ta'ala the
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:20
			the reckoning is drawing near and people are
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:23
			in heedlessness they're not thinking about it the
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:25
			prophet sallallahu alaihi was thinking about it constantly
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:29
			take yourself to account before you're taken to
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:35
			account consider yourselves already in the grave that's
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:38
			a hadith in sahih muslim consider yourselves already
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:40
			in the grave be prepared to meet allah
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:43
			subhanahu wa ta'ala it's real it's real
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:48
			i mean those are hadith fire is real
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:51
			paradise is real the day of judgment is
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:54
			real the holders it's all real this is
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:56
			the illusion people think they're going to be
		
00:14:56 --> 00:15:00
			here forever there were people 100 years ago
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:03
			listening to the same ayahs hearing the same
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:06
			they're all gone they're dead all of them
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:09
			they're all gone and here we are and
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:11
			we're going to be gone and these young
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:13
			people they'll be sitting here with the same
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:18
			problems the same stupidities the same miserliness greed
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:27
			envy backbiting namima all the same diseases and
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:30
			that's why in in the hadith the prophet
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:33
			sallallahu alaihi wasallam when he said set out
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:36
			on the journey and reap the rewards he
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:40
			said don't take this as some kind of
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:42
			outward journey the prophet when he tells you
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:46
			a commandment because outwardly merchants when they go
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:51
			out on a journey they they benefit like
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:53
			the arabs say travel there's five benefits in
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:57
			traveling you get benefit from job but this
		
00:15:57 --> 00:15:59
			is a spiritual traveling set out on a
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:04
			journey to god to allah and he says
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:07
			that journey and finally i want before i
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:12
			get to that the the third it's the
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:15
			rational soul the power the faculty that human
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:17
			beings have that separates them from all other
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:20
			species on this planet with the exception of
		
00:16:20 --> 00:16:23
			the jinn that faculty is the ability to
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:26
			reason it's the ability to think and if
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:30
			that that faculty is meant to to be
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:33
			in control of the other two faculties but
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:37
			what's happened is it's switched over the horse
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:42
			is riding the man the donkey is riding
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:48
			you that's what's happening it's switched it's completely
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:54
			backward you can tell people that it takes
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:59
			your basal metabolic rate is like 1600 it'll
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:03
			burn 1600 calories a day right so you
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:06
			just need that just to survive i mean
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:08
			you'll you'll burn fat or something like that
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:10
			for a certain amount of time and then
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:12
			the body starts eating itself then you die
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:15
			that's what you need and then based on
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:18
			your movement you need something on top of
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:20
			that 500 a thousand depending on what people
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:23
			do laborers need more people that use their
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:25
			intellect need more because there's glucose you have
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:30
			to have caloric intake for thinking so but
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:34
			there's people out there eating 4 000 calories
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:36
			a day every time they get on the
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:40
			scale they see it going up they get
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:43
			diabetes and then they pray you know for
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:50
			a shifa people eat the all that ghee
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:53
			and dalda and and this that and the
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:55
			other and and then they get a triple
		
00:17:55 --> 00:18:00
			bypass alhamdulillah no seriously if you if you're
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:03
			if you're sick people get sick you know
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:05
			genes there's a lot of reason people get
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:09
			sick but most people make themselves sick and
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:10
			then they ask god for i give you
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:14
			a body it has legs with muscles you
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:17
			have a stomach that's meant to digest it's
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:19
			all meant for it's all wisdom but you
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:22
			can understand all of that rationally do people
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:24
			exercise no the doctor tells them to exercise
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:27
			they don't exercise do people overeat when the
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:29
			ice cream comes do they eat it yes
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:31
			even with diabetes i've seen people shoot up
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:34
			insulin before they have their dessert i'm not
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:38
			making that up why because they can't control
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:42
			themselves it's as simple as that people aren't
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:47
			well but you're human beings i mean this
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:52
			this is we're not insignificant creatures we're meant
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:55
			to be to to be people of discipline
		
00:18:55 --> 00:18:57
			i mean that's why allah has given us
		
00:18:57 --> 00:19:00
			this religion five prayers a day in specific
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:02
			time the prophet saw him once saw a
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:05
			man who had a heavy stomach and he
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:06
			said that would be better if it was
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:10
			on somebody else 30 000 children died yesterday
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:15
			of starvation and all and probably more or
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:19
			as many died from overeating because it's imbalanced
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:21
			people don't think about other people they just
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:25
			think about themselves that's hafla it's it's all
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:28
			greed it's all ego it's all me me
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:30
			me that's what's going on out on that
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:33
			freeway out there nobody's thinking of the other
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:35
			when i grew up people had courtesy on
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:38
			the road i remember that clearly i'm not
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:41
			making this up people had courtesy on the
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:43
			road people would actually stop and let you
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:46
			get in now they speed up and and
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:51
			then flip you off seriously that because this
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:53
			is a a complete me culture that's what's
		
00:19:53 --> 00:19:55
			happening it's the whole planet we got six
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:59
			billion people me me me six billion people
		
00:19:59 --> 00:20:02
			it makes a wonderful world doesn't it well
		
00:20:02 --> 00:20:04
			you don't know that that's what islam is
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:09
			about they prefer others to themselves khasasa even
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:11
			if they have needs they actually prefer others
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:13
			to themselves like the two of the ansar
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:15
			who had a guest and they turned out
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:17
			the lights because they didn't have enough food
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:19
			for themselves they they put their children to
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:22
			sleep and then they fed the guest and
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:25
			the prophet said allah was pleased with with
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:27
			what you did last night because allah is
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:32
			aware those are real people those are human
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:35
			beings it's not all these selfish people out
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:36
			there it's not all these people filled with
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:40
			that me me me attitude it's human beings
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:42
			that's what we're supposed to be we're supposed
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:44
			to be human beings now if you know
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:47
			if you look what happened in in virginia
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:48
			i mean there's a lot of it's a
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:51
			very deep problem but it's a problem that
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:53
			we need to think about as a society
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:55
			about where this whole thing is going where
		
00:20:55 --> 00:20:58
			this project is going you know internet and
		
00:20:58 --> 00:21:02
			and violence that's so graphic you know that
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:03
			if you have any sanity at all you
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:06
			have to feel sick in in in the
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:08
			fact that it's out there all this graphic
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:11
			violence video games all these things i mean
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:14
			even the kid is is imitating a film
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:16
			that he saw that's what it you know
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:18
			but if you look what happened to him
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:20
			that's what i'm interested in what happened to
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:23
			him i mean how how did that get
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:27
			created you know humiliated laughed at because he's
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:30
			korean made fun of by go back to
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:32
			china people don't even know the difference between
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:35
			a korean and a chinese person you know
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:39
			they're very distinct look and they know they
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:41
			know each other but korean sees another korean
		
00:21:41 --> 00:21:45
			they know each other chinese know each other
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:48
			it's like africans people think blacks all look
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:49
			alike when i was in africa i had
		
00:21:49 --> 00:21:52
			to learn all the different europa hausa manding
		
00:21:52 --> 00:21:54
			for that they all look different and i
		
00:21:54 --> 00:21:55
			learned to see i meet people on the
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:57
			street that are from africa i'll say oh
		
00:21:57 --> 00:21:59
			where are you from nigeria how do you
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:01
			know i said you're europa how do you
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:03
			know they can't even believe an american would
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:06
			even know that there's different kind of black
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:10
			people in the world but you have to
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:14
			treat people with dignity that's what happened this
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:17
			man was humiliated since he was a little
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:19
			kid in grade school and that's what happens
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:21
			all this bullying and the quran prohibits that
		
00:22:21 --> 00:22:23
			is one of the worst things that you
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:26
			can do is is making fun of people
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:29
			mocking people humiliating people the same thing happened
		
00:22:29 --> 00:22:31
			in columbine you study those two boys that
		
00:22:31 --> 00:22:34
			did that in columbine the same thing they
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:36
			were uh mocked by the jocks of the
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:40
			school spit on called faggots what kind of
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:42
			culture is that what do we teach our
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:44
			children in the houses there's so much abuse
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:47
			out there if you want to know why
		
00:22:47 --> 00:22:48
			people are in the states they're in look
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:50
			at the way they're being raised look the
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:54
			way they're being spoken to just human respect
		
00:22:54 --> 00:22:58
			human dignity treating people like human beings welcoming
		
00:22:58 --> 00:23:00
			people this is what humans are supposed to
		
00:23:00 --> 00:23:02
			be doing that that's what humanity is about
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:04
			that's what we're here for we're here to
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:11
			help each other work with each other in
		
00:23:11 --> 00:23:14
			righteous things don't work with each other in
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:18
			harmful things Allah says don't let one people
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:20
			mock another people and the qaum here is
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:23
			nakira it's an indefinite substantive whenever you have
		
00:23:23 --> 00:23:25
			a negative before that it means anybody it's
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:30
			like the usulyun say it means anybody no
		
00:23:30 --> 00:23:32
			people should mock another people arabs shouldn't mock
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:36
			americans americans shouldn't mock arabs people should not
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:38
			mock each other because when you mock people
		
00:23:38 --> 00:23:42
			they get angry because you're humiliating them you're
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:45
			making them feel insignificant you're making them feel
		
00:23:45 --> 00:23:47
			like rich people that mock poor people that
		
00:23:47 --> 00:23:50
			was a lot of his diatribe was about
		
00:23:50 --> 00:23:54
			rich people their insensitivity and that happens we're
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:55
			in a culture where we don't even know
		
00:23:55 --> 00:23:58
			there's a whole other culture living alongside this
		
00:23:58 --> 00:24:03
			culture that doesn't have anything really people that
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:05
			don't have anything they live with rats and

00:24:21 --> 00:24:25
			their homes well what's happened and these are
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:27

00:24:28 --> 00:24:34
			as a country and these are really really
		
00:24:34 --> 00:24:36
			troubling things that people should be deeply troubled
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:39

00:24:39 --> 00:24:41
			then it's just a media flash in and
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:44
			and everybody gets excited and then it's over
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:46
			until the next one happens people don't think
		
00:24:46 --> 00:24:48
