00:00:16 --> 00:00:19
			Love My little guys now we're going
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:41
			to get into availing ourselves. One lie This is a gift from Allah, the fact that you are you're the
victim that we are here. We have been chosen by Allah to perform the stars. One life, many people
have been invited to be a part of it some of the ones that the song impudent, someone just decided
not to be here. But Allah has allowed you this opportunity to be a part of this project.
		
00:00:42 --> 00:01:08
			I want to remind you and myself, that it's important for us to start every action with an intention.
So let's take a few seconds to make an intention of why we are here. We are here for the sake of
Allah subhanaw taala. We are here to get closest to him. We are here to spread the deen of Islam We

who's a grant has been donated on behalf of whether they are alive, whether that person was Allah
subhanaw taala, to bless them to bless the families to allow for this to be perpetually up until the
PM, Allah in place, the rank of every person who's involved in this project, for every little has
been decided from these grants.
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:57
			Again, when we engage with people, we are not representing ourselves only we are representing our
families and more importantly, representing Islam, to others conducting ourselves in a way that is
kind, generous. And as a means of the smile Even though most people still share a smile to people's
lives in sha Allah.
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:46
			Allah, you're the Lord of the worlds you thank you for allowing us the opportunity to serve your
dinner. You allow we thank you for allowing us an opportunity to be of those who's connected to the
Quran. Allah through our small efforts, Allah inspire the hearts of many to turn towards Islam.

00:02:46 --> 00:02:53
			families. And with Rasulullah sallallahu sallam. Yama, Allah interesting to your eyes of others.
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:47
			With the lava castle hamdulillah. Our volunteers this morning together with the fusion is out at the
Weinberg section and you can see passing it to
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:49
			your support.
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:57
			You're able to see the light of the hamdulillah to those and we can see Subhan Allah, the hunger for
people coming to us.
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:12
			And again, we urge you to contribute towards the Andhra Pacific theater and you can spread the light
off of the show your family or your deceased loved ones, make this Ramadan
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:15
			contributing towards Android and Java

00:04:23 --> 00:04:23
			as
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:32
			the one on your behalf
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:59
			So I want to come out of the car to win. Good afternoon. I fairly myself here in Greenpoint in this
province idea, right. It's concrete Quincy point. And we are continuing as we have been for the last
five years, distributing and spitting the Quran Al Hamdulillah. So the Quran the month of the Quran,
Ramadan is 10 days away. So every year for the last five years we go around in the communities and
we share this Quran, with Muslims and non Muslims as well we find that we take it for granted
sometimes at homes, granted, he cited and it is not so. So we go into the homes of people we try to
reach as many people and different diverse communities as well. We just came from an overpack For
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:45
			example, we intend to go to Capricorn even hope by as well. But specifically Today we are here in a
very cosmopolitan society we'll see point and we trying to reach as many of those people who have
never heard about the Quran of lizard the Quran, but don't understand what what is happening. The
idea is obviously to bring about, you know, consciousness that Islam is a peaceful religion, the
word within the text of the Quran is universal, for example, so specifically this area many people
come from different communities in the country lexia so we will definitely find as Africa
represented here on this area. So we're going to share and express our concern that some of these
		
00:06:45 --> 00:07:25
			people don't even know that the Quran is translated in different languages. So we have the equals
the Quran with the English Quran as well. So hamdulillah The idea is that the Quran the month of the
Quran must be the month of the Quran May Allah Subhana Allah give us the you know the string that
the Quran drive will continue for many years inshallah me so the intention many many good answers
possible so if you are listening to me if you are seeing this video, if even it is not the Quran,
Dr. Please contact fusion. So and ask how you can be part of the good and right even rise to the
year inshallah amin desirable.
		
00:07:26 --> 00:08:07
			I said I want a Kumara to love Erica to Team fusion again. I was on a beautiful sunny day, spreading
the light of Islam, spreading the light of the Quran. We want to thank you for being a part of this
particular programming project. Yes indeed it is our most favorite project of the year hamdulillah

accept all of your efforts insha Allah, and may this month of Ramadan be a beautiful beneficial man
insha Allah once again from tea infusion or Salah molecule.
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:25
			Allah barakato
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:56
			Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil alameen wa sallahu wa ala ashrafi. mousseline
say Ed, now whenever you know Maulana Muhammad Ali he was happy as remain a Salaam Alaikum
warahmatullahi wabarakatuh to my guest in studio and to the viewers on nine as well. If I had said I
want to go
		
00:08:57 --> 00:09:00
			home that it's good to be just watching that clip
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:43
			just brings all kinds of emotions to the fore Subhanallah I say in the video, and on various
interviews when speaking about the car and drive that we say that all of our programs are very
special, all of our projects that fusion is very special. But the Quran drive is just something
different. They just on a different levels have a handle and I Okay, so, for those of you for those
of our viewers who perhaps don't know my guest, his name is Nizam. Abdo is a friend of mine and
Alhamdulillah. We also we can see how busy he is in the community, doing various projects. Okay, so
before we get into the car and drive, which I mean, the video was really well done. Michelle, that
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:59
			speaks for itself. It looks like a very exciting project. It looks a lot like with our projects that
we used to do with the discovery slum Center and the same type of reception that you see from the
public way. So it looks amazing. But before we get into that, first and foremost, tell us who are
you
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:02
			Hello, and what is fusion?
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:19
			Okay, so the first part though it is very simple to answer an example. That's it. No titles, nothing
fancy. The fusion yummy commendation or hamdulillah is something that has been started by myself in
my beautiful wife, Saudi commercial.
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:23
			The fusion brand has been around for about
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:49
			ideas now since 2012. That's going into nine years in sha Allah, and we've hosted a number of
programs and projects and events. And so the main focus is on youth development through holistic
education, and community upliftment through humanitarian support. And SubhanAllah. We are, we are
just proud of what Allah has allowed us to achieve.
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:58
			Obviously, all of our programs and projects and events has a very strong Islamic base,
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:06
			where it starts from, and it starts from a place of, of pleasing Allah and serving Islam hamdulillah
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:49
			look at my say, as as a person who's just kind of known you from the sidelines, and then eventually
a bit more and a bit more hamdulillah I must say that, like, brother Amir may said, over here, Mr.
Abdul is my absolute hero. I think I honestly think like people like you, and your spouse and your
family, I think you are the heroes of society. Like Like, seriously, if it comes from from myself,
it's not like, oh, wow, martial law, he did something No, no, he's supposed to do something that is
literally his job, you know, that type of thing. But with you guys, you've made it your passion,
you've made it your life. And I know that running events like this, and I've seen the type of events
		
00:11:49 --> 00:12:16
			that you guys run. I, for example, The Amazing Race, okay, so I have experienced this myself and my
wife, we used to run an organization called battle Muhammad. And then from the we had a number of
spin offs, you know, things that we did for the community in the retreat, and one of it was this New
Year's Eve thing. And then the next morning was The Amazing Race. Anyway, I'm going of the of the
point here, but the amount of planning, holy *,
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:57
			he knows me, and not just planning, it's coordinating. And it's, I mean, he's talking about kids,
putting them in a car with a pay appearance that you should be supposed to trust, and you sending
them off all around Cape Town. Anyway. So we only did that for I think about three years or so. And
in early in nyla, Roger and Jan, as I saw that on such events, because yeah, Rob, it's, it's no
joke. And then I see you guys coming up. And it's one event after the other event, and Mashallah,
you've just grown over the years and you guys haven't given up. So it's like a real example of a
power couple. Okay, that lets you secret what keeps you motivated? Because I mean, you're a teacher
		
00:12:57 --> 00:12:59
			by profession, isn't it?
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:09
			Now likes it Promise me No, likes it. If it's
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:22
			a lie, not to not to want to sound humble, or want to sound pious, or, but it's only the mercy of
all it's very difficult to sound bias. When you advise
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:31
			me, it's very easy to sound biased, I'm sure anything that you're about to say is gonna sound by
silly fear.
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:35
			No,
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:45
			honestly, honestly, every, every bit of success that we have, is purely through the mercy of Allah
Subhana Allah.
		
00:13:47 --> 00:14:28
			It is 100% through the mercy of Allah through a little bit of our effort, through the eyes of our
parents, through the eyes, in support of our community, through the eyes and support of people like
you. And others, we always make as as between myself and sadhika. And we consciously make it very
mind ourselves to make this to our is that we ask Allah subhanaw taala to surround us and send to us
good people, people that is good for us people that is genuinely happy for us people is able to
generally support us growing, the fusion foundation and any project that we're involved in. And over
and above that, may Allah allow for us to be beneficial to others. Insha Allah, I think,
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:55
			honestly, the secret to our success hamdulillah is divine intervention, our connection with Allah.
But look, I'll go back and I'll check you do. You know, whether you do as accepted or not because
you make the ultimate sin, these positive people in life, and then Alyson's me, so you must have
done something wrong in your head only Cody is always an exception to the rule.
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:59
			Definitely, definitely. Okay.
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:11
			Um, so you guys decided to do fusion? And I mean, you've really been places, you've done so many
different things. And it was all like really wow, Mashallah, you know, speaking about the cultural
Islam.
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:23
			And we put on awards that you guys did, and it's one thing after the other. So give us an idea of
what fusion is, in terms of the project and the different events that you guys ran
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:25
			three or four hours.
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:58
			Over the years, we've hosted a number of projects and events, again, primarily based on on youth
development and creating a space where our youth can express themselves, our youth Subhanallah,
they're so talented, but very seldom do they get an opportunity to, to express the the natural
abilities. And so we've hosted a number of programs or Hamdulillah, from sporting festivals, to our
very popular,
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:05
			very popular, I stayed with program, which you've been a part of as a judge.
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:25
			And then it just gets us to tears every time we see the little ones on stage and doing
presentations. And then obviously sorry, I just remembering this now I remember being in you know,
in that panel, and the sister that was a judge with me, she's one of my wife. There was a moment
where she said that you just wish we had a yellow visor now.
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:31
			Also, you guys should get the golden Buzzer Buzzer for the judges anyway.
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:33
			Sorry, please note.
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:56
			Yeah, so the I stayed fit for those of you who are not familiar with I stayed fit. It's an
opportunity for kids to just stand on the stage and present pieces in the categories of spoken word,
speech and poetry. It normally happens over two nights while juniors and seniors and then obviously
we have a high school national competition.
		
00:16:58 --> 00:17:16
			And I think that that just speaks for itself. COVID has obviously been or at ease and ease what it
is, and we are looking around ways of still connecting with our youth. And so um, yeah, those are
some of the the things that we've done. And we've mentioned the Islamic Arts Festival. So behind
Allah.
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:27
			Yeah. between myself and sadhika. We probably had the month and a half prior to the event. We had
probably like 20 hours of sleep for the month. Yes.
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:30
			It was It sounds like edge.
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:37
			Yeah, so so it was it was hard work. But the results I remember standing on the Sunday afternoon.
		
00:17:38 --> 00:18:09
			I had one of those Tedford kids was doing a presentation on stage of sending the main marquee, I
stood at the back away from the stage. And I was absolutely sobbing. I was just just to think so
behind Allah, Allah, we had this idea. It was just an idea. We didn't have big, deep pockets. It was
just an idea. And the idea just grew and grew and grew and grew and became what it was. And at the
end of four days of activity at the at the Council of gudo.
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:34
			The the final segment of it was a young boy doing a piece on stage and I remember standing and just
hiding in the crowd and I was just absolutely sobbing. So behind Allah and again, just just grateful
for the favors Allah. Yeah, so those are some of the problems that the youth programs that we've
been involved in. And then obviously the Quran Dr. It will speak about that a bit later on. And then
at the moment, we have
		
00:18:35 --> 00:19:16
			a host of activities for the month of Ramadan from feeding every night to our handle, our team was
out till just before Isha delivering food to homes. And we just feel this is a beautiful way of
doing it. We know this many people that that feeds are handling, Allah bless them and increasingly
generously. But at fusion Alhamdulillah we tried to do things that were more special, and try to
maintain the dignity of those receiving. So when we do the Serbian food, we try and connect with the
Imam of the community and he or his his committee, one of the members will take us to the homes in
the community and show us was of the needy and we'll hand over the food with a beautiful smile and
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:19
			engage the people without anyone knowing any of the neighbors.
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:23
			So, those type of things we do obviously
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:46
			now with a with a season of zakka and the fitrah alphedia and those kinds of operations. We are
obviously involved in that and try to ensure that it reaches the best people. And also next week in
sha Allah we'll be having what we call the EAD botique in sha Allah we will be inviting some of the
orphans and some of the destitute
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:59
			and Subhanallah some of the that is very special to us is our child headed homes. We young children
are running homes because of the parents passing away grandparents are not around anymore. So now
we've got six
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:12
			In 17 year olds running homes shop, and that's all topic on its own. That's a whole topic on its
own. And so these are the kind of kids that we're going to invite to this boutique, where they can
come in shop and just
		
00:20:13 --> 00:21:03
			choose any outfit, some pair of shoes and some brand new underwear and ice, you know. So this will
be happening in the week after next insha Allah. Yeah, so there's quite a bit and then something
that we are super excited about hamdulillah there is a a global Heidi's competition scheduled to
happen post Ramadan 30 countries are involved and the final will take place on the 25th of September
in Uzbekistan at the at the Imam ohare Masjid nice 30 countries South Africa is one of them and the
fusion in America Foundation is very proud to be the South African coordinators for Mashallah body
project great insha Allah so again, well loi, this is truly from Allah Allah now this is I don't
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:23
			even know what to say it speaks for itself and you you give us a very good idea that Mashallah, this
is what you guys you guys are registered in VlP vo okay so this could and drive right way on earth
did you get this idea that like a week in a bike runs in is give it to the alvernia data see about
this so solid Oh, who was featured in the video
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:34
			we we've been working together for quite some time. He's been working extensively in the mandible
community Bridgestone community, also a teacher by profession, colleague of mine hamdulillah.
		
00:21:36 --> 00:22:12
			He is he came to myself inside again is he just had this he's got this vision, we and the way he
explained it in the way I saw it to be is like you're standing at the top of, of Lions Head looking
over Cape Town, and Cape Town he just lit with the new other Grand National. And that is the picture
I had, you need explanation. And so we see the Bismillah it doesn't take much for us to jump on to
an amazing idea from the law. And we started with with it five years ago. And it just really
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:37
			it just snowballed from the we thought of focusing on a like man and Berg and Hanover Park and then
reaching maybe broke up and things like that. So we're Han Allah, four years later, we've
distributed over 60,000 Quran in six different languages across not only the Western Cape, and not
only Cape Town and not only South Africa, but Southern Africa were handled
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:40
			again,
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:54
			through the mercy of Allah will lie through the mazola it's really it's beautiful. Mashallah, so, I
mean, what's the what's the goal? Yeah, you've done over 60,000 Quran so far? Where do you see where
do you see yourselves going from here?
		
00:22:56 --> 00:23:00
			This year, we aim to the service 20,000 crowns inshallah. And
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:40
			many people also how do you distribute it? Because they see on the video, we go into a taxi rank and
we started distributing brands, the and that's amazing. SubhanAllah I must be honest, a couple of a
couple of years ago, I took a bunch of boys off from darussalam just one afternoon. I said guys,
what you're doing is often just jump in. We've got a couple of grants. Let's go down to Weinberg
taxi rank, and we will give good answers. So the like, okay, installer. Let's go. That's a bit
nervous. I said, Don't worry, it'll be easy, but in my mind was like, Oh, my word should be acting.
And when we got the Subhanallah we got the before we opened the box, the peoples also
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:59
			given grants, and we didn't have to convince not a single person to the Quran. People started coming
to us saying Can I get a course I could unconnected Africans english one. Now I would like Arabic
Quran. And and as they walked through the text, people started being inquisitive and asked me what's
happening.
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:17
			to us. People started running towards when I say people must be good Muslim people only. And this is
the beauty of it. I'm not talking about Muslim people. Only. This project has touched the hearts of
everyone. Wow, Michelle. Yesterday, we had a call from
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:47
			a journalist from the cape August a Christian lady. Finally Genevieve, you're not mistaken. And she
said, You know, I've heard about this from from him. So I live in Vandenberg and but tell me more
about it. I really want to write a piece about it. And I want to tell people about the amazing work
about the Quran that analyze the issue revert to Islam as the old name or and she's a Christian
lady, so committed to this. And I
		
00:24:48 --> 00:24:51
			love what I do. I'm lost for words.
		
00:24:52 --> 00:24:58
			It's profound actually. Like I didn't know I'm really going deep into the into the thought of this
thing, but
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:10
			I mean, in the age of inflammation, we inflammation is particularly free. Nothing stops you as an
individual from going out and getting any inflammation right now at the tips of your fingers.
		
00:25:12 --> 00:25:17
			But I think we've been also assume that people
		
00:25:19 --> 00:25:39
			would access Islam by themselves like, Okay, let me just go look for something something. And I
think the way we should think about it is like, do you do we just randomly start researching by
Christianity or Judaism and immediately get the Bible? I mean, do you own a Bible? You know, I mean,
how many Muslims own a copy of the Bible? We didn't even do except during the go to Houdini? Yeah.
		
00:25:42 --> 00:25:42
			You can't take that.
		
00:25:44 --> 00:26:19
			So, you have, you have this thinking that that no, if they wanted the sun, they could have easily
gotten it. But if you walking and these Bible giveaways, I would take one because I would want to
check the certain things that I always want to read for myself, I will take so I think it's like the
similar thing, you opening up this offer. And of course, the Quran is beautiful already, you don't
even need to give the rapid because what I mean by that is when you present to somebody, you don't
need to convince them of anything, they just need to be exposed to the core. And that's enough. So
similarly, in this particular range of of your guys now.
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:39
			They just need to see that this opportunity to get the Quran and they will actually rash because, I
mean, who doesn't have a back foot or some way thinking like, Oh, I know what this Islam thing is
really about. Now I know what this Muhammad Yunus awesome is all about. So it's a wonderful
initiative. I shall MLA except in
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:45
			this, there are so many stories that we can share.
		
00:26:47 --> 00:26:49
			So as I was saying that during the value there,
		
00:26:51 --> 00:26:53
			I mean, the senior message about this more than money.
		
00:26:55 --> 00:27:00
			You could have spoken until 12. Now, but now No, follow the catch up soon.
		
00:27:03 --> 00:27:14
			Yeah. So so we go into communities and we Shay grants and but also we distributed modalities at home
schools at
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:30
			various high schools and primary schools. We distribute these grants, even in hospitals and at the
prison. So heinola mowlana Ishmael tofi called me just about a month before Ramadan. He said you
know what,
		
00:27:32 --> 00:27:37
			this is this guy is been in prison for a while, is a Buddha guy from
		
00:27:39 --> 00:28:26
			covenant way but in any case, Afrikaans speaking guy and he says, Remember the the bunch of good
answers you gave me with a certain in the prison and he took one of it. And then after reading the
Afrikaans Quran, he was intrigued by Islam and obviously having a history that's why find yourselves
in prison and you then some Allah does amazing work in prison and Basha started, started speaking to
him about Islam and he inquired and things like that. He then on a later visit, Mola went back and
he said, online, I don't want to become Muslim. Oh, I know. And then, he took the Shahada, and he
was released from prison. Sometime probably 2334 months ago, probably now. Okay. And about a week
		
00:28:26 --> 00:28:32
			after him being released, he made contact with Allah. And he said, Oh, now I just started in. Wow.
		
00:28:33 --> 00:28:42
			And then Allah phoned me to to relay the story. And what can we do when you started making a few
goals and connecting them to a madrasa and so on? Oh, hamdulillah So,
		
00:28:43 --> 00:28:55
			yeah, this kind of kind of impact, not through our efforts, but through the mercy of Allah. It is it
is really touches the heart, then you come into a house, and
		
00:28:56 --> 00:29:14
			I've never known that we have so many Muslim and Christian people living together, really in our
community. And when you speak about being on the ground, the Quran drive takes you on the ground,
literally into the homes of people, and you'll find the Jesus thing hanging in a rock. I mean,
		
00:29:15 --> 00:29:57
			this is a Jeep like you have like, we know our families. hamdulillah it's a Muslim family,
everyone's Muslim hamdulillah but situations and circumstances just so the person doesn't have a
place to stay. So that are taken in by a relative or a neighbor or ever with a different faith and
and you come in and the Christian parent says no, we're not Muslim and you can give it to her. She's
Muslim and he lives in the same house. Well, then you come into another lady's house. So So how we
do it and again, this is this is pretty COVID how we do it is we we come into the house, we have a
couple of boys as you saw in the in the video, a couple of young boys coming in and we'll introduce
		
00:29:57 --> 00:29:59
			ourselves we are from the fusion foundation and
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:39
			We just need to do is to split some light and would you allow us a few moments in your home and
invite us in? You say listen we'd like to decide the few verses and so our father or the boys is
able to decide they will sit and recite them and the instruction that we give them is recite that
for maximum one page so that we can cover as many houses as possible. So there is a page and they
close up and they want to leave and the answer is no my boy you're not going to leave with tears in
the eyes. Now this is not something I've heard someone tell me this is something that I've witnessed
myself and this is you can't leave now wish and we should make the alpha and then we give them
		
00:30:39 --> 00:31:02
			initially and the this is a good anime off of all of our donors please make to offer them the
parents and so and so on says you're not allowed to live the good and is never been read except for
the radio station. The good and is never ever been reading this house before please continue to do
the boys look at it. What can we say? We did say one page but Bismillah
		
00:31:05 --> 00:31:13
			Yeah, it is it is her tactic when it says really like it's that hour it's basically that
		
00:31:14 --> 00:31:36
			you've experienced the actual like communication that with everything, but I can relate to the
experiences man like it's incredible. It's like something that you read out of a fiction book or
that you'd expect to see Nollywood movie but then it's happening right in your communities meant
like let me just say this if you think your life is bad
		
00:31:38 --> 00:31:39
			think again.
		
00:31:41 --> 00:31:42
			Sure.
		
00:31:44 --> 00:31:52
			I know personally I have a home in which the son beats up his mother who's in a wheelchair in a
llama
		
00:31:53 --> 00:31:55
			among other things in the same home
		
00:31:56 --> 00:31:58
			but that's the situation out there man it's
		
00:32:00 --> 00:32:29
			it's crazy so so yeah, you guys come along and like you bring the Koran into their home like your
your Khurana you bring some sort of * and they at that moment they also feel like you know these
people that actually think of us out the tech the well dressed didn't need anything from us but they
came in they gave us didn't even ask us for anything and just like yeah something for free for you
at the fix people and that dream that at the morning I was speaking about a
		
00:32:31 --> 00:32:53
			the one Sunday morning myself and my running by DC rodri we ran invoke up Well actually we start
from C point then we go through town and poke up we got because he still sir it's a it's a you know
a really dangerous hasty view. I also do this route with a call. Okay. I like
		
00:32:55 --> 00:33:40
			when you say to go sisters, I got excited. Yeah. Anyway, so so we then the and then this one Sunday
morning in UK which is out of lockdown and so we could do exercises but only certain times that type
of thing. So generally nobody was outside and it's a Sunday morning and it was just off the frigid
sun is coming out so the skies light but it's the sun didn't rise yet. And we running the vocab and
one Majeed had a Hotham. It was either a recording of a hot I'm playing on this on the sound system,
which was the actual item taking place. But I know the voices I know that you were reciting. So and
I know they do make hot items here locally. Displaying to silent in that city. Will we then ride
		
00:33:40 --> 00:34:22
			around and we will we were we could add like we didn't even talk to each other. We just ran and I
could just listen to the column of Allah being played through the whole city. It was it was what's
the word? syrio will lie is a surreal moment. It was that moment. I don't know if I recorded it or
not. I remember telling myself I should record this. But you can't capture it, man. It's like you
have to be the moment. Yeah, so so what you guys are doing is making these moments come to life man
and you bring it in, you're looking for it and people never understand the magic of the walawe ie if
you thought you experienced magic, I'm personally telling you now you haven't unless you've actually
		
00:34:22 --> 00:34:31
			done this type of work this door to door going into the people's homes knocked in it web style, call
it what you want, but unless
		
00:34:32 --> 00:34:39
			I listen until you've been made right, you will you did not experience any magic. Nothing.
		
00:34:41 --> 00:34:42
			I said no titles not even.
		
00:34:45 --> 00:34:54
			Now I mean, we did that discovery slams into exactly the same thing. And is this is this is actually
fun.
		
00:34:55 --> 00:34:57
			Or is this fun? avani
		
00:34:59 --> 00:34:59
			huh
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:03
			Don't think she'd have friends on Facebook. You never know.
		
00:35:05 --> 00:35:07
			I think this is funny Michelle.
		
00:35:09 --> 00:35:15
			Yeah, you know, it's it's something else Bismillah Yeah, no, it's definitely something else. And um,
		
00:35:16 --> 00:35:23
			and then we have a number of modalities contacting us for grants and, and it's such a pleasure
because
		
00:35:24 --> 00:35:26
			we, we we say to our donors.
		
00:35:28 --> 00:35:41
			Let me just get back to a point when you mentioned about how other people live in how we live. I
want to remind myself and I'd like to remind everyone watching that take a moment to think Allah
take a moment to thank Allah
		
00:35:42 --> 00:36:07
			for finding yourself in the position that you are with Islam. in Cape Town we are blessed Johanna
with a podcast speaking about Islam and Deen and online, online and with the base of Masha, Masha
Allah May Allah protect them insha Allah, and we just have a we just have this freedom to practice
Islam. Yeah. And our homes in two radio stations and we just spoiled me. And then we'll have
bearings.
		
00:36:14 --> 00:36:16
			And then yeah, and then just on the other side
		
00:36:17 --> 00:36:20
			in charge of Makkah, by now we would have to cover
		
00:36:23 --> 00:36:44
			and yeah, on the other side of the train line, we've got people practicing a different Islam. Yeah,
yeah, it is. To be fasting, it's something like we brew yo the hunger is not noise. And, and so
Alhamdulillah we need to thank Allah for for allowing us to be as final.
		
00:36:45 --> 00:36:50
			Yeah. So so I was saying so we we tell our donors that
		
00:36:52 --> 00:36:53
			donated Quran
		
00:36:54 --> 00:37:04
			70 Ren Subhan Allah and donated on behalf of yourself donated on behalf of your children and donated
on behalf of
		
00:37:06 --> 00:37:10
			what happened and donated on behalf of of
		
00:37:12 --> 00:37:33
			your deceased loved ones, those who has passed away with it recently because of COVID or during the
last year, or those who has passed on decades ago. Donate they could earn on their behalf. And
Rasulullah Salallahu Salam says that the reward for reciting one letter
		
00:37:34 --> 00:37:43
			is 10 is 10. Fold. And Russell also goes on to say that Alif Alif Lam is not elated, but rather Alif
is a little homage later and we miss later.
		
00:37:44 --> 00:37:54
			So imagine that Olive lamb him when someone reads Alif Lam, you're getting 10 rewards when they
reciting it because you donate to the Quran. And then
		
00:37:55 --> 00:38:21
			when they are reciting and Alif Lam if no one knows the meaning of it. So remember when imagine the
reciting it or the reading it with meaning what kind of reward is there for them and equally for you
donating it? And then I want to go further and saying yes, I do agree that those some of those
people believe we could probably never open it very seldom open it. So you think about what is that
is Michael Randy. So we're going to get through they're not going to
		
00:38:23 --> 00:38:32
			cover all bases that we distribute to half it schools modalities. And imagine a father sitting with
you could always listen, God will always
		
00:38:33 --> 00:38:47
			his back listens in today's lesson and over and over and how many times you reading grants for
handler and every time you do something you get to do a lot of these Yeah, if you really want if you
want to know over something that can get you a lot of reward now
		
00:38:48 --> 00:39:07
			give a good half of the student a must have when they started if you know was a good half in series,
it's a good student, it's a person who does the work and is you know, you know consistent that is
going to be a good habit. That's it. So get such a person a copy of the Quran before they start
behave Allah
		
00:39:08 --> 00:39:22
			he didn't know how much they actually decide. Like I mean as a student and then you get those I
mean, I've some some friends who show I mean even though they've learned they helped so many years
ago they recite as much now as they did then type of thing.
		
00:39:23 --> 00:39:24
			So, yes.
		
00:39:25 --> 00:39:59
			So Allah says I am to my slave. What do you think so me personally, I think Allah is the most
generous, Allah Quran. Allah is the most in notice. Allah is the Most Merciful Allah just Allah
looks for any reason for us to enter into Jannah any reason I'm going to add these are the how many
I added like, do this integer nine like you're so easy it can be like are you again looking for a
reason to send me to Jana? And so I believe that is that is my Allah. So if that is my Allah then I
believe that
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:03
			If I have donated 179,
		
00:40:04 --> 00:40:43
			a lowly hordenine, for the 80,000 grants that has been distributed, of course, because your your
your seven there is not connected to one Quran, one which is connected to the project etc. And the
project is now standing at almost 80,000 current handles barnala. And imagine 80,000 Qurans where
you are sitting, this is this is what we call a passive income. This is a passive income, this is an
investment, you cannot play golf on a Tuesday morning and contemporary term passive income. Yeah, I
just feel like it's a very deep South Africa. But that's but that's what it is. Yeah, it is us being
smart. Islam is not a dean of difficulty.
		
00:40:45 --> 00:40:53
			*, clams are the enemies, because Allah wants us to go to Jana. And he has an opportunity during
the month of Ramadan under the fold.
		
00:40:54 --> 00:41:36
			And so I'm urging you, and this isn't a sales pitch, or like not a sales pitch, it is just an
invitation to be a part of the higher whether whether you're going to give the money to the fusion
foundation and purchase grounds within you to buy liquid and yourself and going distributed the
opportunities for you. And so it's really amazing. I mean, you're not coming here, this podcast was
intended to know, I mean, 100 would be great if our viewers can come in even now and say, Look, I
would like to be part of this week, and it would show great interest hamdulillah. But over and above
that your purpose was just to get people to know about this project and to to be a part of this
		
00:41:36 --> 00:41:55
			project for you to come and say, okay, we want to save indeed and that's one thing, I mean, it's
still good work, nothing wrong with it. But on the other side, you saying that even if people buy
their own copies of the Quran, you can give it to somebody but just feel what it's like, you know,
to be a transmitter in that sense. And then finally, your, your,
		
00:41:56 --> 00:42:03
			your invitation does it also extend to people actually, who want to volunteer to come along with
you? Absolutely.
		
00:42:06 --> 00:42:09
			You might be sitting at home thinking this guy wants to be dramatic.
		
00:42:10 --> 00:42:13
			But this experience can change your life.
		
00:42:14 --> 00:42:25
			When I say change your life, I mean change your perspective on life. change the way you see things
change the way you understand what is important in life
		
00:42:27 --> 00:43:04
			spending spending a few hours with the project and going into homes and seeing what what people is
really going through on the ground really engaging with people and then breathe a column of Allah
and seeing how that brings hope and smile and you know what we went in our park shooting that video
we went on a walk and we were about to drive away because we had to go into seapoint and we were
already out of the scope in in our park and we were almost into the road a lady came running in the
guys in the chorus and just wait those with and I stopped the guns lady came but I knew
		
00:43:05 --> 00:43:16
			what 200 meters away Ronnie would appear slow is your and she was like but just Can I get one can
Allah I need this in my life. Oh I need this in my life
		
00:43:19 --> 00:43:25
			reminding myself that I answer I see now watch Roger when he does it I go
		
00:43:26 --> 00:43:48
			I said no how much anyway the image it is to say like a man came running from the father's place.
Yes sir. You know I stunning and then obviously the message is different. But just the imagery like
it's epic. It's so epic that you find the same scene in the in the Quran as I think it is. for HANA.
So yeah, so so we inviting our young boys.
		
00:43:49 --> 00:44:05
			Today some girls asked, but why can the girls come with we need to protect our girls. We are going
into into communities way we don't want to put out goals, you know, in in harm's way. And so
firstly, we also will do that to the boys.
		
00:44:06 --> 00:44:07
			No, no, no, no.
		
00:44:12 --> 00:44:12
			Bad.
		
00:44:14 --> 00:44:29
			Let's clean this corner. We call it the girls do that. Boys can do that. What happened to equality
rain? No, yes. That's a podcast for another day. Why many kids? I'm joking people can lie for the
feminists jumping down my throat.
		
00:44:30 --> 00:44:40
			Yeah, so so we asked our community to make dua for us for our safety for the success of this project
for our sincerity, I mean, and
		
00:44:41 --> 00:44:59
			and then we ask you to send two young boys. This week this weekend shall on Saturday. We will be
meeting at the fusion office which is at 77 Roger panhandles 77 Roseman Avenue in Kenilworth right
next to Nando's we'll be meeting at around 10 o'clock and then we will
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:07
			We're making our way down to how by and we'll be distributing courage in the heartbeat community so
looking forward to that insha Allah
		
00:45:08 --> 00:45:14
			yeah and every Saturday for the month of Ramadan we'll be distributing good ions in the program runs
throughout the year hamdulillah
		
00:45:15 --> 00:45:52
			but obviously during the month of Ramadan this just this different kind of energy around Allah. Can
I just say some quickly parents if using your this will be something like really good for my
children is to go within amisco now if you're too lazy to go SR children or like this would be an
experience that like like me, Sam said it is potentially life changing. If you think that your kids
would do would do good with a wake up call and I think we all have we all do good with that.
inducing your kids. This is this is excellent. I mean, Saturday mornings Ramadan viessmann like go
for it. What can you do? Exactly what what what are the kids introduced? What are they going to do?
		
00:45:53 --> 00:46:43
			I don't think there's a better there's a better way for them to do on Saturday no ways. I mean,
you're not going to be doing sport it's Ramadan fasting. So between now let him do this. Okay. Big
question. I mean, people have hamdulillah started asking so let's just give him some details Nizam

00:47:15 --> 00:47:19
			event.fafsa.net

Foundation in America means Kay, so show that you can be a part of
		
00:47:33 --> 00:47:45
			the goodness I feel like that should be a song in the amico it just sounds like it's got a rhythm to
it, man. just just just listen to it in your makeup today. Like it feels like it must go on
		
00:47:48 --> 00:47:50
			foundation a yes.
		
00:47:52 --> 00:47:57
			Say and we are ready to begin. Okay, I'll put it up in a second everyone Sorry about that.
		
00:47:58 --> 00:48:03
			Yeah, but um, be a part of it be a part of of the herd of this is the month of the Quran.
		
00:48:05 --> 00:48:41
			RMB maybe even if you if you totally not going to get involved whatsoever, don't forget about the
idea. Go buy Quran one day and take it even to somebody in your road as a gift, you know, it will be
beautiful, so Han Allah and just for those who and I know they are going to be people who are going
to ask so I'm just gonna be integration. They may or may not ask on the comments, but they will ask
eventually, which is Yeah, but how can you give a non Muslim record and they're supposed to be in a
state of taharah they run a voodoo they don't make a stingy I they don't know who so etc. And the
answer is very simply what they are giving is thrown I was I was just thinking you posed the
		
00:48:41 --> 00:48:44
			question diversion to phone them. Phone olimpik
		
00:48:47 --> 00:49:23
			No, no, no. So the answer is it's not the Quran that they are giving they're actually giving me a
translation of the Quran and the ruling for the translation as is not the same as the ruling for a
Quran Yes, it should should still be respected and so on. But now we'll do is require any of that
other forms of things because you can't recite that book in Salah. It's not quran quran is only the
original words in the original language as it was revealed. Okay? So that's just to make sure that
we people are going to say that Oh, how can they just you know, and Orlando's best, but create
initiative shukran May Allah Allah guide you increase you and keep you on the straight and narrow
		
00:49:23 --> 00:49:59
			and granted many, many people actually participate in this I would love to see like a, you know,
like a ritual. Look, I'm not I'm not a big fan of Asana. I think we got too many things in in the
sooner and could and to keep us busy for me to be a fan of that. But there are certain beat Asana
that are just so harsh. And that is like Wow, man, like an artist. I just think like you're this
profound like the effect of that. This is definitely one of them. And another one is is the ritual
on aid night the night of aid when I see these small little jammas going
		
00:50:00 --> 00:50:38
			From House to House in making that beer, almost like the Christians do with Christmas kettles, but I
think this is like this is quiet because it actually ties in with a tsunami. So now the Protestant
is actually that that that beer is arranged in the street at the shops everywhere so that you could
argue is like you know, reviving as soon as at least from that perspective so these things our
community can become so much richer for these things when even look my brother all these years now
he's been cooking food on the nights of eight i think you know, probably right and they also
distribute every way and I know that there's some brothers and sisters who ritualistically come
		
00:50:38 --> 00:51:07
			every night of the year that they do this to our age basically. And they give up the quality that
they would have gotten had they not because the whole night that's fire smoke it's raid eyes No
sleep. So they generally everything will eat they come either way. Because they love it. Absolutely.
Absolutely. You asked what what are the projects we're busy with? I mentioned a few I probably
forgot quite a number. I just remembered now that for this eat inshallah we'll be cooking 30 pounds
of food
		
00:51:09 --> 00:51:10
			and it's a big sacrifice.
		
00:51:12 --> 00:51:36
			Honestly, and so we thank all those volunteers that comes out you've got a hectic eat you are
sleeping for if you're lucky, you're sleeping for most of the day because you are just drained
because it's a full day and a full night. So it's probably another couple of days of separation you
guys do sleep right between you inside the car you you sometimes sleep sometimes Okay, I just need
to check that out.
		
00:51:37 --> 00:51:38
			He brought the guitar he said but
		
00:51:41 --> 00:51:42
			we take turns
		
00:51:43 --> 00:51:50
			we share about 10 hours of sleep between us I take the nine he takes that one yes but
		
00:51:53 --> 00:51:55
			I can actually believe that most of all be you
		
00:51:58 --> 00:52:03
			okay look people also want to know about the banking details uncle Shama I'm going to ask
		
00:52:04 --> 00:52:20
			President exam to send that to you directly inshallah. Oh, maybe we'll edit in the comment section
afterwards anybody's perhaps interested you can find it in the comment section, but we're going to
wrap up on this note inshallah we actually plan to do off in our podcast episode 52 minutes 21
		
00:52:21 --> 00:53:01
			No, it goes like that you catch them in with with the guys and we bought cars if I didn't watch the
time we would just go on and on and on. Like last night I got such a shock because I was gonna say
okay, what next and then I looked at the time and so but time is really up you know? So it goes like
that in a podcast. love it love the Happy New Year and love being part of fusion Alhamdulillah And
may Allah Allah accept bless increase and grant all the higher end Baraka in this world in the world
