The speaker discusses the miscalculance of the internet and the benefits of using social media for promotional purposes. They emphasize the importance of knowing the algorithm and avoiding false accusations. The use of algorithm algorithms to determine what people are most likely to capture their attention and put them forward, as well as the benefits of drugs and cutting out of social media and Twitter. They stress the importance of avoiding mistakes and mistakes in the future, and stress the need for everyone to take action to avoid regretting mistakes.

So the topic I was given is
the social dilemma of social media.
He'll come and tell you social media haram
because you're going to look at naked women,
which is essentially probably
a summary of
by all these other But this is a
summary in one sentence.
This is a summary of what you're going
to hear from most people. And it's not
really all that far fetched. It's not untrue.
Whoever thinks it's untrue, I'll give you a
minute to stand up and tell me that
this is untrue.
Nobody okay. Thank you.
Going deeper than that, however, there are more
things on social media than just that
find them directly. You don't have to look
for them on Facebook,
or on, you know, Twitter and Instagram, TikTok,
all of these other.
Secure messaging app and order Fentanyl or crystal
meth or whatever. I don't know what people
abuse in Toronto. You can do all sorts
of
Now
with the Bitcoin, you can do those transactions
without being detected.
It's really funny because
I said publicly one time, I don't know
if Bitcoin is or
not. And I got attacked by all of
these people who made money from Bitcoin.
Now when I say in public, I don't
know if Bitcoin is jive or not. They
all stay quiet because they all lost money
on it. So nobody cares anymore what the
what the the that's the 5th of Bitcoin
right
in a nutshell.
I want to go and talk about because
all those things are
is haram. You know it. You don't really
need me to tell you. There's other people
who will tell you and give you more
a hadith
me. I'm not really an entertainer in
that sense.
What I want to talk about is something
very particular with regards to social media, which
I think skips the attention of a lot
of users.
Attention of a lot of users.
So the nature of misguidance
is what?
Archity of misguidance in the Quran. I wouldn't
say even the archetype. The metaphor for misguidance
in the Quran that's most potent for the
idea that the idea that the idea that
People of Kuford,
people of disbelief,
They're called an
They are like livestock.
What are
an Right? There's there's cattle. There's,
camels.
There's
goats and there's sheep. They're all livestock.
They're livestock that people come and they eat.
And
eating is a recurring theme with them. They
just consume whatever you put in front of
them.
Cost of the
They don't really question. They'll eat it to
the point where ruminants, for example, like a
head of cattle
has 7 stommer.
Primary source of glucose that they extract from
ruminants extract from grass is cellulose.
We lack as human beings
The proper enzyme the cellulose enzyme in order
to break it down and get sugar derive
sugar from
it. But very slow acting enzyme. So what
happens is that the animal will store the
food while it's digesting and it will regurgitate.
That's why the animals that chew their cut,
they're constantly preoccupied with eating and they don't
have a really great and they don't have
a really great and they don't have a
really great
When you look at social media, Facebook provides
all of these
services. How
much does it cost you to be a
normal user of face
to
It's
it
cost you to be a normal user of
attendance also from
the noble and
a
business. Right?
Why would they give you something for free?
Do you think Elon Musk looks like the
type of guy who's there to like serve
the
Does he look like an altruistic
person? Does
What's this other guy's name?
A sounding name for speakers of Arabic.
Does Zuckerberg seem like a charitable man
who's there to like spend from what he
has in order to better man.
You can see from these people's faces, there's
laminate on their faces. You can see that
You can see the curse of the Lord
on their face.
The look in their eyes shows that they
don't really care about anything.
Their
own and I remember I said this one
time I remember I said this one time
about Elon Musk and a and a.
I said that the man is like a
like a anthropomorphic.
One uncle got very upset. He says, that's
don't say that. You can't say that. And
I just talked right through him like a
freight train. Why? Because these are people, they're
Right?
Sorry.
There is
like
those people gather money and are constantly
counting it, who boast about their
ability to gather money, their ability to consume
money, and our own
stupid kids, our own stupid kids, and our
own stupid, even more stupid adults, they idolize
these people. They're almost worst.
Which all it
does is involves lying and cheating in order
to get more money.
Grasp and like relaxes and tells the next
time it's satiated. It's appetite.
That's what these people are.
So why is it that you're using this
for free? This should set off an alarm,
question is what?
The answer to the question is
using Facebook, using social media, Whatsapp, all of
them,
for free,
doesn't
chicken money for the feed that it's eating.
Why is
that? Because
product isn't the feed that's been given to
the livestock.
The product is the livestock.
So if you make analogy,
odds
What's the product that Facebook is offering?
It's
not an account. What's the product that Twitter
is offering?
Choice. Should I say anything? Why should I
get angry? Why should I call you names?
Why should I be upset about it? Why
should I do any of those stahes? Why
should I do any of those stahes? Why
should I do any of those stahes? Why
should I do any of those stahes? Why
should I do any of those stahes? Why
should I do any of those stahes? Why
should I do any of those stahes? Why
terrible.
And when they get led to the slaughter,
I also will shed a tear and say
how sad this person should have known.
That's what it is. Someone says, but I
use it to stay in touch with my
family members. And I use it to promote,
you
know, events at the Masjid. In fact, I'm
watching
your live
stream on Facebook, pros of paradise, facebook.com/prosofparadise,
etcetera, etcetera.
And in some sense, this is the problem
that we have. We are actually livestock that
are stuck in a pen. The pen is
not
but it's social.
It's economic.
It's
that has like, we our sweets have silver
on them. And
people
have saffron with, like, cardamom, with elaichi that's
gilded with silver.
We have these habits from what? From their
kinks.
But you and me are in the
Jameh
Mustard of Sultan Yawu Selim and
right?
And the inscription over the doorway
is that this is this building is a
watch from from from so and so, bad
job, the like 3 continents and this and
that all is just like long titles. And
at the end of it, it says his
name is Salim
Right?
That he was Salim was a man nobody
would mess with him.
Probably one of the greatest greatest sovereigns in
the kingship of Persia from the times of
old antiquity.
He mouthed off at Salim. And, Salim destroyed
him. And he destroyed his army.
And he, sent him home running and conquered
probably about a quarter or third of Iran
in the process.
Caliphate to the Ottoman Empire.
His name was Salim Khan.
Today, who is Salim Khan? There's probably 30
guys driving a cab or Uber in Toronto
as we speak by that same day.
That's what it means to us now. Right?
So we have to come face to face
with facts. They're probably good people.
Probably good people, right? So you have to
come face to face with facts. They're probably
good people, and survive. But our situation has
changed from that time until this. So we
are, in some sense, we're livestock. I mean
practical here.
Its If we were able to do that,
I would have said that.
But we live in somebody else's world. We
live under someone else's government. We live in
someone else's. We have to think twice before
saying anything out of fear of offending our
overlords and our master.
It's important to understand what the score is.
Repercussion for it. But I myself, I'm afraid
to tell you how many genders there are
in reality for fear that I'm not gonna
be let into the country.
So I just stay silent. I don't say
I don't say it.
Scheme we should. So it's a reality. It's
there. It's there.
Let's understand the nature of the
So you don't have if you're the head
of cattle, you have nowhere else to eat
from but what the farmer says. A bad
plan, actually. But it's plan b, which is
what just duck out the day's time to
get killed.
When you see the animals, you know, getting
corralled and there's a line going into the
into a building
and there's no animals coming up, but just
boxes of, like, coming out of of ground
beef coming out,
that day you should probably
like go to the other side of the
field and hide or something like that. This
is not an actual plan for survival by
the way.
But if you're in that situation, if the
Lord decreed that that's going to be your
task, then you should also understand how to
do that as well.
The devil, the devil in the social media.
That. But the devil in the social media
is what it's an
What is an
algorithm?
It's some sort of formula that's fed into
the computer
that will procure for you what it is
you see. Male, it will show you certain
things. If you're a female, it will show
you certain things. If you're older, it'll show
you certain things. If you're younger,
it'll show you certain
Happened in the beginning, perhaps,
this is oversimplifying things, but for the sake
of brevity, because I don't want this to
be a long band. It's not going to
go on for an hour.
I'm a be done with it. You guys
go home, go to sleep, read your tajit,
play basketball. I don't know whatever, whatever.
New Year's party,
haram. But if you're gonna go, like, then
you may as well go early. Not that
I recommend it. The issue is this is
what
Is that the the
the the beginning, if you, like, followed 7
people on Facebook or on, sorry, on Twitter
or you're friends with 7 people on Facebook,
feet. Then after a while, what would happen
is that you would get that
content,
and then maybe, like, you know, Facebook or
Twitter would put an ad, you know, in
between those seven things based on what you're
what it thinks that you like. Based on
what you're what it thinks that you like.
Where it progressed from there is what
Is that the people you follow, the things
that you follow, it won't show you all
of those things.
It has a program that will analyze the
post
and we'll figure out which things are most
likely to capture your attention, and we'll put
those things forward. And if there are posts
that
won't capture your attention, it will take stuff
that you don't even follow or you're not,
you know, even trying to see, and it
will put it in front of you.
This is why if you look through my
Facebook feed,
there are ads for why you should support
Israel. There are ads of why you should
send you know, asking donations for sending bibles
to Afghanistan.
There are ads for, you know, learn,
you know, Syrian,
dialect Arabic.
All of these things are, like, odious to
me. Like, I don't think these are all
horrible things as far as I'm concerned. They
upset me because the algorithm knows your anger
is a far greater way of keeping your
attention than like actually educating you or whatever
in the same way that for example when
you have feed at a chicken
at a at a chicken hatchery or it's
another hatchery, but, where they grow chickens.
It's late right now. My
vocabulary is breaking down.
When you look at the feed,
a percentage of the feed is other dead
chickens. Why?
Because they're not trying to provide the chicken
with a superior culinary experience.
They're trying to fatten them up so that
they can be slaughtered just like you and
me.
They're not interested in making you a better
person. Zuckerberg is not even interested in making
himself a better person.
Elon Musk is not interested even in making
himself a better person. Why why would they
care? Why should they care about making you
a better person?
So they will feed you content. It will
be procured according to the algorithm
based on what will provoke your attention and
keep you on that
platform for longer and longer so that they
can
you're the product so that you can be
marketed to all these people who are paying
for ads.
It gets worse.
I will say this very clearly so that
there's no ambiguity
about any of it. Okay?
Even if a person is not
a
an a specialist in making meaning from
rhetorical flourishes.
TikTok is a piece of Chinese spyware.
TikTok,
it's an app,
is a piece of Chinese China
spyware.
When you download the app, the permissions that
you download
basically make your entire the data of your
phone naked in front of who?
The Chinese Communist Party.
And who's the Chinese Communist Party?
Well, to summarize,
much like Elon Musk
and Mark Zuckerberg,
they're not interested in making you a better
person or your welfare either. What they are
interested in,
one can surmise by remembering the fact that
there are, like, 3,200,000,
Uyghur Muslims in
occupied Turkestan
that are in concentration camps right now. They
forced sterilize the women.
Those people who are not in jail,
they are they arrested the men, and they
have Chinese men forced to live in the
same house with them that come from Eastern
China.
And they say that if they don't sleep
in the same bed as you,
everyone goes to jail,
which sounds very pharaonic. Like, but we say
pharaonic often metaphorically. This is like literally pharaonic.
Spyware from the Chinese Communist Party. You're downloading
it into your phone. At this point, I
could call you an idiot for continuing with
it.
But if this much doesn't have any effect
on me, what will my insults have?
TikTok
the algorithm in TikTok
completely takes the cake. 100%.
All the content it procures for you.
It knows when you have don't you when
you stop having your interest in TikTok.
And when your interest dips,
it will
automatically promote any post you have no matter
how inane it is. So you get more
likes and more views and more of that
that that dopamine rush
that
makes you addicted to something.
This requires a slight aside in the Bayan
to talk about what a dopamine rush is.
So an animal, for example,
an animal
like a deer,
when it's thirsty,
it feels uneased because physically, mechanically, the body
doesn't work as well anymore.
The heart is no longer pumping properly because
the blood is low. The kidneys have to
strain harder
because they need to conserve more,
water.
All sorts of effects happen through the body
that are that are physiological
and they're chemical. They're very basic effects.
So the animals that unease feels like things
are not right.
A deer doesn't even know that it's a
deer.
It's a weird thing to think about.
Tyrannosaurus
rex didn't know it was tyrannosaurus rex. Some
and some came later on and gave it
that name.
Right? To it, it was just aware that
it's alive. But it didn't, you know, that
level of self awareness wasn't there. Only
Allah gave that ability to give names to
things to say
I'm sure there's some Erudite scholar who will
give you the entire profound and deep meaning
of this verse
which is quite profound and deep, but
we have something else to talk about right
now.
So the deer will go around doing things
in this disturbed state
in order to try to
be done with this disturbance.
When it drinks water,
what will happen all of a sudden, like,
all of those physical disturbances in the body
will
they'll feel better.
The heart will feel better. The kidneys will
feel better. The lungs will feel better. Everything
will just feel better.
The brain the way the brain works is
it makes a note of this.
How does it make a note of it?
There's
a chemical in the brain called dopamine,
and the brain will remember that when I
felt bad in this this particular way,
water is what made it better. So the
next time I feel bad in this particular
way, when I drink water, I will give,
like, a, this, like, little hit of euphoria
of happiness
to the person.
And that way, the deer doesn't have to
go through all of that
figuring out everything process again.
I feel that same set of symptoms. I
remember water made it better. And then when
I drink the water next time, bam. Hit
a dopamine. And I'll feel better, 1 in
the way that I've dehydrated and I have
water, so my organs function better.
And the other in the way that the
brain just got the shot of this thing
that makes me feel euphoric.
So why are, for example, narcotics a bad
thing?
Cocaine and,
you
know,
heroin
and opioids and all of these things. Right?
It's just because Moana's upset is Haram.
Right? Caffairs also understand it's a bad thing.
And they don't acknowledge that Molana Saab has
anything to teach them about the duniya or
the akhirah. Right?
But they know it's a bad thing.
The reason it's a bad thing is that
those drugs, they they gain this dopamine cycle.
So what happens, you take those drugs and
it just
max throws out all this dopamine.
And you feel just like
euphoria, your body is telling you whatever there
was good in this world, you just did
it.
This is happy birthday, Eid Mubarak. Happy New
Year, Diwali.
Halloween,
you graduated from high school. You graduated from
college. You got married. You got a job.
You got a raise. You everything. You just
did all of it all at the
same time. Normal person doesn't have it in
them no matter how sound their aca is
to resist that.
The people who designed these
social media apps, some of them not in
the beginning, Some of them, later on, they
jump on the back bandwagon, but some of
them from the beginning, in particular, TikTok from
the very beginning.
Their entire design is
known to be what is known to be
based around the understanding of how the dopamine
cycle works
in order to
show you content through the algorithm
that will give you this dopamine rush
and will make you feel like you're actually
doing something, whereas you're actually doing nothing.
Make you feel like you're doing something where
you're actually doing nothing.
You feel like you did all of these
achievements when you do drugs, but did you
really achieve anything? Absolutely not.
Another thing people do with the Internet
makes them feel like they're doing something, but
they're not actually doing that thing.
It's all fake.
100% fake. This is also a different type
of fakery in that line.
People say, mom, I said, what are you
talking about? I don't
I don't know what you're talking about. Okay.
Good.
Make
the
offer.
They've gained the dopamine cycle.
Every time you get a like on your
post,
you get a little dopamine rush.
Every time you get retweeted, you get a
dopamine rush.
Every time you see numbers going up, you
get a dopamine rush.
And what happens is
this thing is literally making you addicted. Now,
one of the things about the dopamine cycle
is this. Every time you get a dopamine
rush, it takes a little time. But the
brain will actually clear the dopamine out of
the brain and it will actually reduce the
level of dopamine to
sub
to sub normal levels.
Meaning what? That after you got the rush,
you'll actually your brain will keep draining it
slowly slowly slowly not down to 0 but
down to below 0. So you actually feel
bad
like the normal amount of ease and health
that you feel when you're
you know, when you're just normal. After a
dopamine rush, you actually go back down to,
subnormal levels for a while.
Why? Because
the the the logic of the physiology is
what?
Is that you did this thing, you need
to do this thing again.
And so you'll be a bitch n. Right?
You'll be, like, completely, like, perturbed and disturbed.
That's why addicts,
when the high wears off, the only thing
they can think of is what?
Getting high again.
The addiction isn't only, by the way, for
social media and for drugs.
This is actually the relationship most of us
have with food as well.
This is the relationship that most of us
have with food as well. This is a
completely different topic.
I want to finish the band. I want
to say what I want to say, and
you should remember what it I what it
is that I said, not go on like
20 different tangents. But that's an important discussion
to have as well.
That you shut off at Facebook, you shut
off that Twitter, you shut off that TikTok,
you shut off that,
Instagram.
It knows how to get your attention. You
know, the algorithm knows. If you're a, you
know, if you're a male between
the age of 15 and like
like 47,
it will show you something really different than
it'll show grandma.
Just look at the suggestions
of one person to another. They're completely and
wildly different things. You can imagine what they're
going to show you on a man.
Man. When you put that away or you
put that down, say, oh, Milana Saag gave
a man. He says you're going to see
like naked women. It's haram. I'm going to
put it away. Right?
Or whatever the fitna of like different demographic
groups is. The fitna of women is naked
women as well, but it's for different reasons
and in
a
different mechanism.
For different reasons and in a different mechanism.
The thing you put down now, what's gonna
end up happening is that the dopamine hit
you were getting from
all of this like fake engagement,
it's gonna wear off and you're going to
have this like crash
and you're gonna feel like garbage. You're gonna
feel horrible.
You're gonna feel bad.
You go back to the exact same thing
again.
Why do they do that? Is it an
evil conspiracy for you to get addicted to,
They don't care about you because you're you're
the product. You're not you're not like
the reason
if they destroy every one of your lives,
it means nothing to them as long as
they're making money, they figured out this is
a way that they're gonna make more money.
And the fact that you get destroyed in
the middle is collateral damage. It's maybe an
unfortunate
product of what's going on, but it's collateral
damage.
This is what's gonna happen. You know this
is what's gonna happen.
Someone says, okay,
I deleted all the all the, social media
apps, and I don't function with them anymore.
Good for you. If you have no need
to be on them, you'd be a moron
to be on them. TikTok, there's no reason
to be on it. At all.
There's really no reason to be on it.
In front of the Lord. I give my
job in front of the Lord. You can
choose whoever you want to believe and whoever
you want to end up with on the
day of judgement. And if you choose them,
I'm not going to stop saying salaam to
you. I'm not saying you're a coprier.
But as far as I can tell,
there's no reason to be a raisiest of
them, if you need
The rest of them, if you need them,
for example,
like, Sheikh, I'm like the social media manager
at work for my company. This is how
I make a halal risk, you know. I
do my best not to, like, whatever. I
have some ad blocker or whatever. So I
don't see this and that. And I, you
know, filter and blah blah blah. You know,
there's tricks that you can do to mitigate
a lot of these things. You kind of
100% get rid of them, but there are
tricks you can do to mitigate a lot
of these things, and they count on being
so difficult to figure out that normal people
can't do it. So I figured all of
them out and, you know, it's relatively cleaner
for me.
My advice to you is then to
know the game, know how they're trying to
basically abuse you.
Really, to be honest with you, sexually abuse
you
with these things.
And don't don't be a victim. Be on
your guard when you,
when you use them. How is that?
Many of you actually have the misfortune of
knowing me through social media, in fact. Right?
So you're probably wondering why is he saying
all this. Right?
I uninstalled Facebook and Twitter from my phone.
Why? Because I myself find myself being roped
into these arguments or roped into these discussions
and roped them in. Why? Because I've fallen
victim. I knew about it from before, but
I've fallen victim to
it. Time and time again.
I
have
this. So it's all like on a tablet
at home.
That way, I make it difficult for me
to get to it. If I need to
make an announcement, if I need to,
you know, post something, if I need to
whatever, I put it on there and then
I put the tablet away. Why? Because my
entire work is in dealing with the public.
Because what? Because nobody gave me money. So,
Milansav, why don't you take on this mess
of and like, we'll pay you for it.
So those things I do them. I make
money from the public and then I do
those things,
on the side. And that's how how my
work is supported. So I have I'm also
in that sense, I'm also in that boat.
If you're in that boat, say my, you
know,
like,
yeah, my nanny lives in like a mountain
in Angola somewhere. And the only way I
can talk to her is there's no phones
over there. The only way I can talk
to her is by, like, messaging her on
Facebook or whatever. This is how you do
it. Make it the last thing that you
see before you go to sleep at night,
and the first thing you see in the
morning when you wake up in the morning.
So
you can also be the mistak of the
hadith of the prophet that a time will
come that a person will wake up as
a believer and go to sleep as a
kafir or wake up as a kafir and
go to sleep as a believer.
Rasoolullah says something like, you know, to be
fair, he warned us about all of these
things.
I don't have like the
rhetorical acumen in order to package, you know,
those things in a way that's
hard hitting. But you know it's all there.
It's all been mentioned from before.
Go through figure out what those settings are.
Get rid of all of the get rid
of all of those, you know, like, go
through Facebook, like, that thing, like, point by
point in the settings thing. You know, don't
share your data with them. Don't share your
information with them. Don't share your location with
them. Don't share any of these things with
them. And then know why is it I'm
on this thing, right? If I have thing
in order to talk to my nanny in
a mountain and I
go,
she doesn't have a phone in her village
or whatever, then talk to her. Don't do
the other stuff.
Right now, we were on the outs we
were coming out of lockdown.
I'm not gonna comment from this forum about
what my opinion about lockdown was.
Except for there are 2 types of people
that annoy the * out of me. 1
is the anti mask crowd.
One is the anti mask crowd
that viruses are not real. And,
you know, we should all stand shoulder to
shoulder when really there could be a pandemic
that kills everybody and we don't know yet.
Right? When, you know, the vaccine is somehow
some sort of like conspiracy to kill everybody.
Whereas the same people who took the made
the medicines that you take for everything else
as well,
right? Those people annoy the smack out of
me. And the other people who know me,
one is anti mask, the other's Abdul Mas.
And it's not gonna harm you as long
as everyone's masked or whatever. Or those people
who are like, you know,
I got, you know, like,
did you get your 17th booster yet? Oh
my God. You're gonna kill everybody. You know,
like, did you get your 17th booster yet?
Oh my God. You're gonna kill everybody. You
know, like, Oh my God. You're gonna kill
everybody. You know, like,
what your ideas in the middle of somewhere
are or not. That's between, you know, you
and me. I don't really have any authority
to speak about that right now.
But one of the things that pandemic so
wherever in that spectrum you belong.
One of the things that pandemic has taught
us is that there's a lot of meaning
and and and
necessity for face to face interactions with other
human beings.
Kids
who were at a very delicate developmental stage
in their life during lockdown,
and haven't had the ability to meet with
other people face to face in real life.
You
know, they're they suffer.
Suffered. I actually my kids were like doing
school and Zoom at that time. And I
said, you know what? Just go to I
said, I send them
to Pakistan. So
I send them to Pakistan. I said, go
to Pakistan
and visit your relatives at that time. You
can just log in to Zoom over there.
They're not gonna miss anything. You know what
the school said? They're like, oh, we blocked
the I IP address from, overseas.
And if your kids go, like, we're gonna
hold them back here. I don't care. Hold
them back here. They're really wasting their time
over there. I'd rather I tell them I'd
rather
them go and play cricket on the street
and learn how to cut someone out in
Urdu or Punjabi, then there's more benefit in
that. At least, there's
more benefit in that than than what they're
learning on Zoom because you cannot engage like
that. Right? They suffer. They suffer from
it.
All of the social media, they're not the
only ones suffering from it. When you waste
time, that minute is coming from somewhere.
That hour is coming from somewhere and it's
going somewhere.
And so
the suffering that we have, the the antisocial
nature of our behavior that we have look.
Dopamine is not the only neurotransmitter that exists
in the human body.
There's a whole bunch of other stuff
out there
In the system
of what works, there's some things that cause
a person's brain to be whole, there's things
that cause a person's body to heal when
you're sick that have nothing to do that
have nothing to do with anything you'll find
in the hospital.
They're from normal things. It's good, like, human
skin to skin contact is good. So Home
Alone, what is he talking?
You're a family member,
and things like that. But it's good.
It's needed. It's necessary.
When 2 of you, a husband, me and
Bibi are sitting, and each of you are
on your screen saying, well, you know, I've
disabled this and that, and I'm not sharing
my location. And look, there's no,
face, nor on my husband's feet. But what
is it what is it you're missing? You're
missing like real life
in the process. You're getting disfigured by it
in the process.
Those things you need in order to heal
from sickness. Those things you need to in
order to be a happy person. Those things
you need to in order to be a
human being
without which the dean and the will make
no sense.
Simple example.
I'm I'm not I don't teach Bukhary anywhere.
You know what I mean? Like, I sometimes
wonder why they even invite me to these
things.
I don't even know properly. If I were
asked to be to leave the
the salat, I would get stuck in Jazama
and like I just don't know.
But from the few things that I know,
imagine there's a hadith of the prophet that
one of you doesn't believe.
That one of you will not perfect your
belief until I'm more beloved to them than
their parents and then their children
and then all of their people.
A little bit of explanation
is necessary,
which is what? There was a time when
people used to love their parents. A
lot.
Therapist.
People
go,
they
go
to
therapist
mothers,
like
fathers say, dudes are punks sometimes.
But mothers, mothers, your mother is like the
last person that you love Everyone else will
hate you, but your mother, you should be
able to count on her. Now, we have
therapists. They go the women go and they
they their mothers, they
complain to the therapist about how they resent
their children for holding them back in their
career and from this and from that and
from the other.
Something
there that I didn't say. But the point
is, is you shouldn't resent your children for
stuff like that.
In fact, it was the other way around.
Your children were what gave you the will
to live and to survive all sorts of
calamity and catastrophe otherwise.
Nasi Ajamay
there's a time when people like actually like
other people, rather than sitting in a room
for hours on end in terms of the
people, like, actually like other people, rather than
sitting in a room for hours on end,
in terms of the
rather than sitting in a room for hours
on end, interacting with the * AI chatbot,
or with an algorithm.
Do you understand what I mean?
When I say *, I mean literally
Look, if you're finding yourself in this situation
that you're doing this, if you literally right
now, while I'm talking,
check your Facebook and your Twitter, even though
you know what I'm saying is right. If
you disagree, Alhamdulillah,
go ahead and disagree and say why you
disagree.
Write an article about it or whatever. And
whoever is saying the,
bring it forward.
I never, you know, I never want to
say something and then not be corrected if
I'm wrong.
Like, I have a lot of faults, but
that's not one of them.
But if you know it's right, you still
can't. Like, you're still like, I gotta check
your state.
Uninstall it. It's enough. It's time to go.
Just like, you know, people have these type
of neurosis with their Danielle like, oh, I
have to do did you pray to get
it? No. I had to do this for
the business. Otherwise, the business would fail. I
have to do this for my wife. Otherwise,
this would happen. This from for for my
children. This for this, this for that, this
for that deal. And the fact of the
matter is, like, you know, the fact of
the matter is, like, you know, the fact
of the matter is the day you die,
no one's gonna miss you.
The day you die, everything is gonna move
on. No one is gonna miss you.
Just like that, think of this as a
microcosm of that reality because we've seen it
before.
You know, non Muslims have this dysfunctional
relationship with death. You know? Like, they'll literally
back bite the dude at the office.
And then when they die, you know, Bill
is annoying. Bill, did he show you a
stupid picture of his dumb children? And, you
know, and then the day he dies, they're
gonna have like this memorial ceremony. Oh, no.
He's the best guy in the office. He
used to come and never would be happy.
He was just the best. He was the
greatest. And he was such a dedicated father.
He would always share touching stories about his
children and show us their pictures. Oh my
god.
Right?
They get over it very quickly.
They fake that they're actually
shocked that someone died.
They get over it very quickly.
So if that's the way for, like, a
whole human being, like, actually dying
Imagine, like, what a trauma would it be
if you got off social media.
So this is the tashil.
The ban is ending now,
alhamdulillah.
This is the tashil.
I'm not gonna ask you to go on
3 days or 40 days.
It's not that kind of.
So who's who's ready who's ready to promise
me at least at least
from the time Ramadan is right around the
corner. It's going to be in March and
Shout out
loud. Like, the new year is going to
jump off. It's already jumped off in some
parts of the world. Right?
Ramabhavam.
I'll uninstall all of these things from my
phone. Whether I need them or I don't
need them or whatever. I'll uninstall all of
these. Who can do that much?
We have some holdouts, you know, some people
that are like, I'm too cool for school.
I'm not going to raise my hand. Or,
you know, I really like Facebook that much.
You like it that much. You like it
that much.
Ramadan
the knows you can be for the rest
of the year. Right? Really. But, you know,
still it works. Right? Why would you jeopardize
that? The person who reaches Ramadan and you're
still not forgiven. The abha Allah. That that
person is a cursed person. Say, Amin. Say
that Jibril told the prophet to say, Amin.
So why would you waste your time in
that?
Who here has who here makes intention that
I'm gonna delete
TikTok as Chinese spyware from my phone? They're
just
completely like and they're making a fool of
me. Everyone knows. You know who I'm on
Zoom, and you know what I'm
of
Pakistan.
And do you remember when there was this
sister in India
that,
you know, she walked by the the protesting
idolaters that were, like, trying to, like, get
her to take her hijab off. And she's
turned around and screamed a lot of at
them.
And he it was funny. He he had
a video in which he was praising her.
He goes he goes,
I was like, wow, man. Even knows about
the girls dancing on TikTok.
How did that happen?
He's like in Balocha's time, bro. Like, you
would think that at least they would be
safe from this.
How does he know about that?
Mubarak.
I wish I could raise my hand with
you. I never downloaded it because I knew
what it was from day 1. But
who here has it? They're just going to
uninstall it. They're just going to uninstall it
because they know there's no fan in it.
So I'll raise your hand.
We have a few takers, I wish it
was more. However, however, just
However, however, just like the arc of Islam,
Everybody will be destroyed except for the one
who believes.
A day will come. I'm promising you all
of these things.
A day will come
when this when the when the flood comes,
these things will destroy you. Like right now,
they've already destroyed many of us. And we
just want to like fool ourselves, but they're
like physically destroying you one day.
Make these decisions. I promise you're not going
to regret it. If you regret it, make
a blog post, make a YouTube video. Send
me the link, inshallah, about how that was
complete and your life got worse. And then
when you got back on these things about
how your life got better again, let me
know about it. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe we
should change my message or whatever. I really
don't think that's gonna be the
case. Allah give all of us so much.
