00:00:18 --> 00:00:19
			Addition facilities
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:27
			think about our discussion
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:30
			and like I said
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			is senior to me and of course,
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:49
			more knowledgeable he can talk from experience because he actually lived there for many years
Mashallah. And he understands what the context of the discussion is
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11
			discussion around expansion
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:17
			the depressing thing, the fact that
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			and the loss of spirituality and
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:28
			people saying that modernity and progress seems to be standing in the way of spirituality
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:32
			situation
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:50
			the messy the middle and Michigan about
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:54
			a GABA and
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:56
			GABA
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:59
			working hours and so on.
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:09
			expansion
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:14
			and expansion people had something to say. So, we have an expansion
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:24
			to extend it,
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:30
			but not much, too much of the time. In fact, you'd like to
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:47
			know made the final decision, but what has to happen.
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:07
			So, expansion happens after that expansion happens again and again, when people talk about
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:09
			regional
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:11
			regional
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:16
			British Empire
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:25
			and how can we
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:30
			how can we prevent the discussion of destroying the green
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:40
			structure architecture is
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:54
			much more
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:03
			effective
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:19
			what actually
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:25
			you have seen
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:30
			prior to the future
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:34
			expansion on the stage and they also had
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:36
			an
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:39
			empire the Ottoman Empire
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:42
			had
		
00:04:59 --> 00:04:59
			all these people do
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:07
			number one and number two
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:22
			for us
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:24
			to spacious
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:28
			spirituality
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:33
			much more spiritual
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:36
			much more
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:13
			number one
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:21
			from all different angles Muslims cannot be
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:24
			efficient.
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:29
			We'd like to expand that
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:33
			to be extended
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:43
			as such, you
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:50
			if we get distracted with the weakness of our spirituality and among the people
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:04
			who are asked to make a focus I normally like to
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:08
			come up with
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:10
			a model now
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:25
			which is
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:28
			a big problem because
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:38
			we will move to come to terms with it. We
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:41
			don't want to go there because
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:55
			there has to be extension
		
00:08:57 --> 00:09:01
			expansion. We feel like speaking to someone last night
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:11
			I had to ask you a question.
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:32
			She has
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:39
			a whole section in the department of the government to find
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:44
			across the globe and
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:48
			to try and make people
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:55
			are protecting the beam and so on.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:02
			Education people have an article and
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:08
			read on the internet today
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:21
			I remember
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:30
			needs to be taken out because
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:34
			for us to associate
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:14
			of
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:24
			extension, Africa
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:35
			reigned supreme, almost everyone and
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:39
			and
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:48
			has given you an ability to bring it across eloquently and very, very understandably
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:51
			that and
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:58
			we will step one step one irrational,
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:05
			irrational thoughts
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:30
			should be trying to convey, and I don't consider myself to be
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:35
			important
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:43
			and
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:06
			about etiquette of using the facilities in the masjid and of course,
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:09
			a discussion
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:13
			because that is
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:18
			a big undertaking with regards to making sure that
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:22
			ablution facilities in
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:25
			place
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:30
			at home or at the hotel and continuing procedures
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:37
			in the same condition, sometimes we would have to make use of facilities
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:45
			in southern Africa have pretty good facilities in other countries,
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:52
			additional facilities because
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:54
			understanding that you
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:56
			and you can lead
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:04
			to things and in one way and now, we've come
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:16
			to South Africa and I met him there and he told me one of your people
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:21
			crop up in a condition
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:29
			according to some people,
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:51
			regeneration has somehow extended and extended
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:53
			and
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:59
			considered what was done previously as very spiritual and very, very enlightening and so on.
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:03
			Appreciate
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:08
			that considered what was not appreciated the generation
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:15
			and so on so we've got a
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:19
			few as you said,
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:24
			we stay focused and focus on our own things like
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:28
			a skyscraper around our own
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:31
			skyscrapers
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:40
			important for us to know the person is to make will be at home and then to go to the most
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:43
			powerful facility
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:54
			to use if you know, how to use the water and so on, especially when it comes to better with MSG, but
the purpose is to make at home
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:00
			makes
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:03
			intention of reading God's
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:05
			word
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:09
			and one of the conditions
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:21
			to prepare to go to the machine and to use the facilities
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:23
			of the machine.
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:30
			And what have you a lot of people like to waste a lot and
		
00:16:34 --> 00:16:37
			enough to make it a place that people feel like
		
00:16:38 --> 00:16:39
			we should not be wished for.
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:48
			a greater bit
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:54
			adopt is not part of the secrets of Islam and the Muslim
		
00:16:56 --> 00:17:01
			need to use minimum amount of water and use the bathroom
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:09
			we found it even better when we entered the bathroom or the
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:12
			people will be
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:15
			will be probably
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:18
			next year or
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:24
			so we need to make sure we treated
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:28
			within the house of Allah subhanho wa Taala people
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:29
			and people who
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:45
			run by a certain group of people might just be the trustees or be the guardians of the masjid. But
that doesn't mean that we should abuse in.
		
00:17:47 --> 00:18:01
			The same applies to the carpets and so on. Sometimes when people are dirty, and they belong to the
carpets leaving marks and I've seen this happening, we need to make sure our feet that we need to
make sure we get them washed and we need to make sure that we keep the facility
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:07
			or some of the official white paper
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:10
			we need to use not just
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:16
			to you sometimes I've seen people
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:18
			so much like
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:34
			the same applies to the bath towels and we wanted to make sure we use them properly and that we
would appreciate some people like their feet.
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:37
			And
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:42
			absolutely, because we would like to use such a powerful
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:46
			and important thing
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:52
			that one of the biggest issue in our time is the mobile phone.
		
00:18:54 --> 00:19:00
			If you know how to use the application of the profiling and so on, you can actually put your phone
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:01
			to switch
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:13
			you can actually set the profile to come on from time to time so while the machine is actually on
silent
		
00:19:37 --> 00:19:37
			and we can actually
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:41
			come across
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:45
			options
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:46
			in between the second
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:50
			option want
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:56
			to come back to the general program
		
00:19:59 --> 00:19:59
			at two o'clock
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:02
			back onto the general, you can actually do that on your phone, if you
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:08
			you will be able to find that particular facility on the phone
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:10
			as Muslims
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:13
			because
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:18
			distraction and I think the greatest blessing
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:22
			one
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:24
			unacceptable
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:28
			woman
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:50
			to the masculine condition
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:06
			there's a different culture there. And one of the things
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:09
			that I found
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:12
			to be an exceptional
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:14
			situation I found the
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:26
			proportion of weapons and armor
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:32
			was phone rings.
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:35
			You have 500,000 and you're probably
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:38
			getting
		
00:21:42 --> 00:21:44
			a lot of people but the personal
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:53
			the condition of people who change their own conditions
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:08
			should not justify it. You know.
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:29
			People need the phone sometimes in order to other family members.
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:32
			People
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:39
			need to know how to use it and the people who do not know maybe they're not fortunate enough to
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:43
			use
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:51
			is it
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:54
			permissible to
		
00:22:56 --> 00:22:58
			be talking to somebody on the phone
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:02
			matter is
		
00:23:03 --> 00:23:03
			when we're
		
00:23:11 --> 00:23:12
			going to reduce the
		
00:23:13 --> 00:23:15
			cost because I remember
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:25
			to prove to a person which is worse because now there are two voices and the entire discussion and
to get on the phone.
		
00:23:30 --> 00:23:33
			When you're speaking to someone next to you and speaking on the phone.
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:37
			We tend to look at the mobile phone
		
00:23:38 --> 00:23:40
			possibly because they speak a little bit louder.
		
00:23:43 --> 00:23:52
			To the picture because when you can speak to them on the phone the iPhone still hasn't come back.
You can look down on the other side that comes up.
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:07
			They are speaking to a family member that is not with them. And you know the you know sort of
		
00:24:09 --> 00:24:10
			kind of thing and I think
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:26
			I'm making this stuff and I'd like to do it when you're on the phone. And you know you put your
hands free on and off and the person at home kind of feels that they are I don't know if that can be
done I don't know.
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:35
			Even happens to all people and
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:40
			a weakness and lack of understanding. People come to me for
		
00:24:46 --> 00:24:49
			the weakness of our own understanding because of that
		
00:24:53 --> 00:24:54
			up for them
		
00:25:02 --> 00:25:03
			It'll become more of a show.
		
00:25:07 --> 00:25:08
			And
		
00:25:10 --> 00:25:13
			we should concentrate properly.
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:17
			Far beyond that,
		
00:25:20 --> 00:25:23
			from the the, the internet, which is
		
00:25:26 --> 00:25:27
			off, and they actually talk about it, and
		
00:25:29 --> 00:25:32
			we showed them how quickly we computed the
		
00:25:34 --> 00:25:37
			things that are happening each of us and that's why I say
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:44
			we first need to look at ourselves
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:53
			counting backwards, you have to look at what we're doing and we have to correct ourselves the use of
mobile phones is something
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:01
			I've come across people
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:07
			that want to choose,
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:21
			understand why they do this.
		
00:26:35 --> 00:26:36
			You can call it
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:44
			a discussion with regards the attitude that people have about the organization
		
00:26:50 --> 00:26:50
			of
		
00:26:52 --> 00:26:53
			facilities.
		
00:26:58 --> 00:27:00
			And we can't just use it as if it's for
		
00:27:02 --> 00:27:05
			the government or the taxpayers money is
		
00:27:06 --> 00:27:11
			the taxpayers money, and we can have it for days and people just
		
00:27:13 --> 00:27:19
			content and we shouldn't have that attitude when it comes to using our facilities in the masjid.
		
00:27:21 --> 00:27:23
			Go back to the discussion around progression.
		
00:27:32 --> 00:27:33
			sister, brother
		
00:27:45 --> 00:27:46
			we're all South Africa
		
00:27:50 --> 00:27:50
			to make
		
00:27:53 --> 00:27:53
			money
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:58
			invested into for more people are going to charity.
		
00:28:23 --> 00:28:26
			As you pointed out to me, at home, we spend a lot of
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:28
			money
		
00:28:29 --> 00:28:30
			at these facilities
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:36
			to make to make sense out amongst themselves.
		
00:28:39 --> 00:28:41
			Completely I think my brother says
		
00:28:55 --> 00:29:07
			didn't have access to water but we're not really punching the people regarding the summer of using
your own water because before you come to the method, definitely protect you from backbiting
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:09
			because they
		
00:29:11 --> 00:29:13
			become really costly.
		
00:29:15 --> 00:29:17
			And it's really bad. And on top of that, the wastage.
		
00:29:25 --> 00:29:27
			And you shouldn't you should
		
00:29:34 --> 00:29:37
			I think it would actually reduce the presence of
		
00:29:41 --> 00:29:45
			carefully selected words because we don't have to condemn anyone but at the same time, the
		
00:29:47 --> 00:29:49
			usage of these facilities that we've had
		
00:29:54 --> 00:29:55
			there's so many things that are not similar
		
00:29:58 --> 00:29:59
			progression, but we were talking about
		
00:30:04 --> 00:30:05
			People have
		
00:30:13 --> 00:30:14
			electricity.
		
00:30:21 --> 00:30:21
			If you still need to move,
		
00:30:26 --> 00:30:26
			you need to make
		
00:30:28 --> 00:30:29
			the flow and
		
00:30:30 --> 00:30:35
			extension why I'm saying this is because we've extended our own authority to work.
		
00:30:46 --> 00:30:49
			Future, slightly more comfortable than the average
		
00:30:53 --> 00:30:54
			novel you
		
00:30:58 --> 00:30:58
			facilities
		
00:31:04 --> 00:31:06
			destroyed and exceeded, expand and
		
00:31:13 --> 00:31:27
			expansion has to happen and conditioned that you haven't wasted the funds, you've had the funds and
so on, and unconditioned that you know, for the sake of Allah Subhana Allah, Allah and it was
necessary for something if it was worth
		
00:31:31 --> 00:31:31
			it
		
00:31:36 --> 00:31:37
			would probably prefer to wait.
		
00:31:43 --> 00:31:44
			Around people have
		
00:31:45 --> 00:31:46
			the tissue paper
		
00:31:50 --> 00:31:51
			we need to
		
00:31:52 --> 00:31:57
			use at least facilities, if you have no own and humbler and
		
00:32:03 --> 00:32:04
			someone wants to cover
		
00:32:06 --> 00:32:07
			their arms and so on. So
		
00:32:17 --> 00:32:18
			efficient tanks,
		
00:32:20 --> 00:32:22
			empty tanks before we go into the factory.
		
00:32:28 --> 00:32:30
			Many of us use facilities in
		
00:32:34 --> 00:32:37
			our locality, and particularly in Johannesburg.
		
00:32:44 --> 00:32:45
			It is
		
00:32:46 --> 00:32:47
			good practice to
		
00:32:50 --> 00:32:52
			use the facilities
		
00:32:54 --> 00:32:54
			to coach
		
00:32:58 --> 00:32:59
			people.
		
00:33:05 --> 00:33:05
			But
		
00:33:09 --> 00:33:10
			I'm sure they would like somebody to help
		
00:33:13 --> 00:33:14
			them I'd like to take it home.
		
00:33:22 --> 00:33:23
			The nature of people
		
00:33:29 --> 00:33:30
			in the Muslim community
		
00:33:40 --> 00:33:42
			that is a sign of rejection from a lot of
		
00:33:43 --> 00:33:46
			people who sleep over more people will leave the facility
		
00:33:51 --> 00:33:53
			if you haven't given some donation, but you can.
		
00:33:56 --> 00:33:58
			Not sure that you've actually given the money
		
00:33:59 --> 00:34:00
			actually.
		
00:34:01 --> 00:34:08
			And as I said, it's not compulsory to promote from the point of view, but the goodness of your heart
and common sense.
		
00:34:16 --> 00:34:16
			us
		
00:34:18 --> 00:34:18
			out,
		
00:34:20 --> 00:34:21
			you know, twice a week and
		
00:34:23 --> 00:34:23
			so on,
		
00:34:25 --> 00:34:25
			up and down,
		
00:34:26 --> 00:34:27
			up and down
		
00:34:29 --> 00:34:29
			to collect money
		
00:34:31 --> 00:34:31
			for the upkeep.
		
00:34:34 --> 00:34:36
			Because people tend to forget
		
00:34:42 --> 00:34:46
			our own dependencies. That's the only time when we go to another dependency.
		
00:34:48 --> 00:34:49
			On a framework I come
		
00:34:52 --> 00:34:52
			a donation
		
00:34:56 --> 00:34:59
			which will probably go a long way in our spiritual intervention.
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:00
			intention
		
00:35:03 --> 00:35:04
			should be considering
		
00:35:09 --> 00:35:11
			using facility and so on, except
		
00:35:13 --> 00:35:13
			for money but
		
00:35:14 --> 00:35:17
			maybe possibly projected in that cost
		
00:35:19 --> 00:35:19
			to us
		
00:35:22 --> 00:35:23
			in the correct manner.
		
00:35:27 --> 00:35:29
			In the form of rejection from a lot
		
00:35:35 --> 00:35:38
			of us we earned the monies and where we sleep in
		
00:35:46 --> 00:35:46
			and
		
00:35:48 --> 00:35:50
			around the hump now
		
00:35:52 --> 00:35:59
			taking over the government and the people making double and sometimes triple the proper value of
those particular buildings.
		
00:36:02 --> 00:36:02
			And
		
00:36:03 --> 00:36:04
			a few buildings in
		
00:36:10 --> 00:36:14
			new buildings without taking up any of compensation
		
00:36:17 --> 00:36:18
			are often two
		
00:36:30 --> 00:36:34
			pieces of advice used to be a huge burden and not
		
00:36:36 --> 00:36:37
			to be to be taken into
		
00:36:39 --> 00:36:40
			the type of mentality
		
00:36:52 --> 00:36:53
			10 times the amount
		
00:36:56 --> 00:36:58
			we need to understand how
		
00:36:59 --> 00:37:00
			to spend money.
		
00:37:09 --> 00:37:14
			It's a great pleasure speaking to you continue to play some of this knowledge
		
00:37:17 --> 00:37:22
			so that we can continue to benefit from myself and the rest of the team.
