			Bluff or a public speech. Okay?
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:34
			So someone might ask, why am I coming
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:36
			to this, lecture? Okay. What why do I
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
			need to learn about public speak?
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:39
			Okay.
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:42
			If you're giving a presentation at school, you'll
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:45
			need how to to learn how to deal
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:46
			with people and how to talk to people
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48
			and you get your message through how to
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:50
			communicate with people.
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:53
			If you, for example,
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:56
			are doing your masters or PhD, you need
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
			to to learn how to communicate with your
		
00:00:58 --> 00:00:59
			professors
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			and how to express yourself
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:04
			so you can pass the, the, the face
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:06
			of your dissertation or your thesis.
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:11
			Also, sometimes, in some of the, schools in
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:12
			Almas,
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:14
			they have a big number of Muslim students,
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:16
			so sometimes they get one of them to
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:17
			give the for.
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:20
			Okay? So they also need some training.
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:22
			Also,
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:25
			in some cases, like in the Somali community,
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:28
			for example, before the, the marriage, someone from
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:30
			the man's family will stand up and give
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:32
			a talk. He will basically say, you guys
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:35
			are good people and I'm proposing to your
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:37
			daughter. And then somebody from the lady's family
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:39
			will stand up and give a talk. So
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:43
			k? And they will, respond to the proposal
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:46
			by acceptance. But they usually speak for about
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:47
			5 to 10 minutes and I've seen,
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50
			Yali, some Fidbus like this before.
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:52
			So in any case, you will need to
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:54
			learn how to face the audiences.
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:55
			Why?
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:57
			The thing is most of the time because
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:59
			when we talk to people 1 on 1,
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:01
			we have no problem but when you stand
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:03
			up in front of, an audience to give
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:04
			a talk.
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:06
			And now you see, if if you have
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08
			a 1,000 people in front of you,
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:09
			now you
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:10
			have 2,000
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:14
			eyes looking at you and 2,000 ears are
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:16
			listening to you. So you get this feeling
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:16
			that,
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:19
			oh, I might make a mistake. So
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:23
			by thinking about making mistakes before you speak,
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:24
			you will do a lot of mistakes.
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:27
			Okay. So when you talk to people,
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30
			talk to them in a friendly way, just
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:33
			like you're talking to your friends. Okay? You're
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:35
			not afraid of them because nobody's afraid of
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:36
			their friends.
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:38
			Okay. So talk to them
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:39
			and
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:40
			express yourself
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:43
			in a friendly way. So today, Michelle, I'm
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:45
			gonna give you some, tips on how to
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:45
			give
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:47
			a good, speech.
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:50
			As I said, there are different reasons why
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:52
			someone someone would stand up and talk in
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:53
			front of a group of people.
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:56
			It could be a lecture, representation,
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:58
			or a marriage, or a and so on
		
00:02:58 --> 00:02:59
			and so forth.
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:01
			As I said before,
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:04
			before you're able to do something and succeed
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:06
			at succeed at doing something, you have to
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:09
			have 2 things. You have to have the
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:11
			ability to do it and you have to
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13
			have the desire to do it.
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:15
			Without the ability
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:17
			or without the desire, you will never be
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:18
			able to succeed at anything.
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:21
			Always hoped to play basketball. Now, just look
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:22
			at me. Okay.
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:33
			Desire to to play basketball, but if if
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:35
			you have a second visit, I'm a short
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:37
			guy. Okay? I couldn't
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:39
			do it. Right? So I have the desire,
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:41
			but I don't have the ability. I don't
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:44
			have the physical ability. So I couldn't
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:47
			don't have the physical ability. So I couldn't
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:48
			succeed.
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:52
			But I made a career of, soccer. Okay?
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:54
			I'm a good soccer player. Okay? This is
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:55
			what my enemies say.
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:58
			And those who play with, Rashid Rashid Soccer
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:00
			Club, they know rule number 1, if you
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:02
			play with the shim, you win. And Usafa
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:04
			knows. If you play with the shim, you
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:07
			win. So this is rule number 1. Rule
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:08
			number 2, if you play against the shim,
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:11
			you lose. So both of them are basically
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:12
			the same thing.
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:14
			So
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:16
			I have the desire but I don't have
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:18
			the ability. Number 2, if you have the
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:20
			ability but no desire, you know, you will
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:21
			never succeed.
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:22
			Back home,
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:25
			a lot of students, they graduate
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:27
			from high school with
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:30
			high marks a's in math and science.
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:34
			So of course, their families always push them
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:37
			to go to the, medicine school or engineering
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:39
			school. And they don't like to go there
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:42
			because they want to study literature. They want
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:45
			to study poetry. They want to study cooking.
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:47
			Something completely different.
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:51
			If their family pushes them to join medicine
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:51
			or engineering,
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:54
			although they have the scientific ability,
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:57
			the math and science and all that stuff,
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			but they don't have the desire to to
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:00
			join that department.
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:02
			They always fail. And I've seen a lot
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:03
			of examples.
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:06
			Some of my friends in Egypt, they were
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:08
			the, like, the top students in the whole
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:10
			country. I'm not talking about the class.
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:17
			Medicine and they failed because they wanted to
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:18
			do something else.
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:21
			Okay. So you have to have the ability
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:22
			and the desire.
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:25
			He
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:27
			was known
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:30
			for yeah. And he didn't like to give
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:31
			public speeches.
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:35
			He used to be shy in front of
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:35
			me.
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:38
			So the first time he became a and
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:39
			he became a Khalifa, that was not a
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:41
			big success. Okay.
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:43
			He didn't speak for too long. He just
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:46
			said the basics and he couldn't continue. So
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:47
			he couldn't, you know
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:49
			so he basically
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:53
			public speaking was not one of his top,
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:56
			you know, things that he wanted to do.
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:59
			Okay. Maybe he had the desire, but who
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:00
			knows?
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:03
			Mohammed, that is superior superior the law and
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:04
			who the first football he gave when he
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:05
			became the,
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:09
			the mayor or the governor in CUFA,
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:11
			and I love, was a disaster.
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:13
			Okay. He basically,
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:16
			he prepared a nice photo.
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:19
			So when he stood up to give the
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:21
			talk, he didn't remember anything.
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:24
			So what he basically said, he said,
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:30
			I was rehearsing something nice for you today,
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:34
			but I basically don't remember your thing. But
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:37
			you need a governor who is a doer.
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:39
			You don't need a governor who is a
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:40
			token.
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:42
			You need someone who works, not someone who
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:43
			talks.
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:45
			And next time, inshallah and I see you,
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:46
			I will give you a good speech.
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:49
			So this is all he said. He didn't
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:50
			remember anything.
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:53
			Why are we all with alarm?
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:57
			Sometimes
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:00
			And some people, they have to be the
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:01
			talk in front of people and,
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:03
			they're terrified.
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:06
			They are afraid to speak to people because
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:08
			they are afraid to make a mistake. And
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:09
			I remember one time,
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:12
			I used to work as,
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:15
			supervisor in on channel in Egypt. It's it's
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:17
			called a fashion channel.
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:20
			So this brother, Mashallah, is half an
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:23
			a ham, tashweed, and qilat, and everything.
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:42
			In front of the camera and record. No
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:43
			problem. And he was happy.
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:45
			The night before
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:48
			he was scheduled to decide Quran and appear
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:49
			before the audience,
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:52
			he called me and he said, I'm I'm
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:55
			terrified. I can't come. Please cancel.
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:58
			I remember talking to him over the phone
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:00
			for about half an hour, and I said,
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:02
			do you know this actor?
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:05
			So and so? Yes. I know.
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:08
			Do you know this ballet dancer? Yes.
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:11
			Do you know that politician? Yes.
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:12
			And I taught them all of them why
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:15
			all the time. And whenever they stand on
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:17
			the stage to speak or dance
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:20
			or sing in front of people, they never
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:22
			blink, but they are because they they have
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:23
			this courage.
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:24
			Although
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:26
			they have shaitan behind them,
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:30
			supporting them. Now, you have Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:32
			ta'ala behind you, and you're saying the truth.
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:33
			You are saying Quran,
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:45
			and listen to music and movies and all
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:47
			that stuff. So at the end, he was
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:49
			motivated, Alhamdulillah, and he came on time, and
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:51
			he did an excellent job. So
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:55
			I tried basically to motivate him to, to
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:55
			speak.
		
00:08:57 --> 00:08:58
			Of course, when you talk to somebody,
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:01
			you have to master
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:02
			the language,
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:04
			they understand.
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:06
			Okay. So for example, if I'm talking to
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:08
			you in Arabic or English, this is a
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:09
			language that I know.
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:11
			But if I speak to you in Somali,
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:13
			that would be a disaster.
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:17
			I remember many years back, at the last
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:19
			time, we received the ambassador of China,
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:23
			in Cairo. And he came and he started
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:24
			to give us a talk for about 3
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:25
			hours about the relations
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:28
			the relationship between Egypt and China.
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:31
			And he's starting to talk about 5000 years
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:34
			of history, and he was talking in Arabic.
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:37
			All the grammar was wrong,
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:39
			and all the vocabulary was wrong.
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:42
			I didn't know what the guy was
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:10
			Okay? So that was a disaster.
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:15
			So you have to master the language, yeah,
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:16
			so you can communicate the message to the
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:17
			people.
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:19
			Also,
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:21
			presentability.
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:24
			You have to look good when you talk
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:27
			to people. Okay? The looks are important. You
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:29
			can't just go to people and you smell
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:33
			like onions and garlic and you smell like
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:33
			terrible
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:35
			and you expect people
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:37
			Okay.
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:41
			The projector is about to explode.
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:44
			This is what it says. Okay.
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:45
			So
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:48
			they have this story back in,
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:50
			in Ethiopia.
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:52
			In Ethiopia.
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:56
			Yes. They have this story in Ethiopia,
		
00:10:57 --> 00:10:57
			Captured.
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:00
			Okay. There was this
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:01
			scholar, Adam.
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:05
			He was coming from work. He was doing
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:07
			he was taking care of something. And,
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:10
			he remembered he had a dinner invitation at
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:11
			the Palace of Richmond.
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:15
			So he was coming from the farm. He
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:17
			was a skeleton. He was a farmer. Okay?
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:19
			So he decided to go to the palace
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:21
			to, for the dinner invitation.
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:24
			He was entering the palace and they saw
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:26
			the guards. They saw him in the door.
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:28
			So they said, where do you think you're
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:31
			going with with this kind of clothes? He
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:33
			said, but I'm I'm the court. I'm this
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:34
			this scholar. You don't know me? They said,
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:35
			no. No. No.
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:52
			So he went home. He put his massive
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:55
			clothes and I buy everything and the sword
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:57
			and the turban and everything, and he came
		
00:11:57 --> 00:12:00
			back. And of course, when they saw him,
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:02
			He started to kiss his hands, please go
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:04
			inside and everything finished it in the first
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:05
			line.
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:33
			Not me.
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:34
			K?
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:36
			It's a good thing to remember.
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:40
			Fake humility.
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:43
			Fake humility when you basically stand in front
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:45
			of an audience like this and you start
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:46
			to tell them you're trying to be humble.
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:47
			You know, guys,
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:49
			I'm not a despond to speak about this
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:50
			topic, you know.
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:52
			I'm not a scholar.
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:55
			I was fighting to, I was trying to
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:56
			to join a bus and I go to
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:58
			Egypt. My my mother died and my father
		
00:12:58 --> 00:13:00
			went to jail, you know. So
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:02
			I'm not a scholar. I'm an idiot basically.
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:05
			You can't say this to how can they
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:07
			trust you if you say something like this?
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:09
			There is nothing wrong with being humble,
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:12
			but don't make an idiot of idiot of
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:15
			yourself. Okay? Okay. If you studied something, if
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:17
			you know something, Alhamdulillah. But don't try to
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:18
			be extremely humble
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:21
			or you will have more credibility in front
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:24
			of the people. If you're not qualified to
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:26
			speak about something, you are not qualified. Tell
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:28
			us, you don't speak. But if you are
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:31
			qualified, tell us, Forget about fake humility.
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:35
			The wisdom is the most important thing.
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:36
			Okay?
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:39
			If you have 30% knowledge,
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:41
			70%
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:45
			eikma knowledge, wisdom, then yours come.
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:47
			If you have 95%
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:48
			knowledge
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:50
			and 5% IGMA,
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:53
			you are basically an idiot.
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:54
			Okay.
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:57
			There are so many people here in the
		
00:13:57 --> 00:13:57
			west.
		
00:13:57 --> 00:14:00
			They have PhDs in Islamic studies. Okay. At
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:03
			Harvard and Yale and Berlin, all these places,
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:04
			and they are
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:05
			atheist.
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:07
			I know some people,
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:09
			from my country Egypt,
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:13
			they are Christian, non Muslim, and they know
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:15
			the whole Quran by heart. They studied it
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:17
			when they're young, so they memorized, and there
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:20
			are some examples back then. So your knowledge
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:22
			of the Quran and your knowledge in Islam
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:24
			didn't benefit you in any way. Okay?
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:27
			So reading a book does not make you
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:29
			a scholar. It makes you another copy of
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:31
			the book. Hikma is the most important thing
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:32
			in the world.
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:34
			And I said, we get Hikma
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:37
			because not everyone in this dunya, in this
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:38
			world has a Hikma.
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:10
			So they said one of the ways to
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:12
			get hikmah is to follow the sunnah of
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:15
			prophet Sasa. Because we said before in the
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:17
			book, but every time the word hikmah is
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:19
			mentioned wisdom is mentioned in the Quran,
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:21
			it means one thing.
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:23
			The sunnah of the prophet Sasa.
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:24
			For example,
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:30
			and remember
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:32
			what is decided in your house. The first
		
00:15:32 --> 00:15:35
			is talking to the the household of the
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:35
			prophet
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:38
			from the book and the wisdom. So in
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:39
			the books of the tafasir,
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:42
			interpretation of the Quran, they say the book
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:44
			is the Quran, the taykma, and the wisdom
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:45
			is the sunnah of the prophet
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:05
			In the same way, another verse says that
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:06
			Allah has
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:10
			bestowed a favor on the believers when he
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:12
			sent a prophet from among them to teach
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:13
			them the book,
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:16
			Quran, and the Hikmah, the Sunn.
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:18
			So this is what the scholars of the
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:20
			firsir say. So if you follow the example
		
00:16:20 --> 00:16:22
			of the prophet, if you study a seal
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:23
			or biography,
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:25
			is a hadith, you will learn a hikmah.
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:41
			There was this guy,
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:43
			2 people there was this is the story
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:45
			we have back home in Egypt. There was
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:45
			this guy,
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:48
			he was standing on the top of a
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:49
			mountain, and he was about to jump to
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:50
			kill himself.
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:22
			You look right to me. You're you're okay.
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:23
			Okay?
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:26
			If you know what is in my bag,
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:29
			I'm gonna give you the biggest orange I
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:30
			have inside.
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:32
			So what do I have in this bag?
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:34
			So the guy said, do you have apples?
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:37
			So the the mister z basically, he pushed
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:39
			them off the mountain.
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:42
			Apple boy. Kicked them
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:44
			off. So if I'm gonna give you the
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:46
			biggest orange in the bag, it means it's
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:49
			full of oranges. Okay? So you don't have
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:51
			to be a genius to figure this out.
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:52
			Al Tawatkin,
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:55
			the Khalifa of the Muslims,
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:58
			he had a cook or a servant in
		
00:17:58 --> 00:17:59
			his palace.
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:01
			So the cook fell sick for
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:04
			the servant. So he visited him in his
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:04
			house,
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:08
			and he he saw his little kid, the
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:10
			the the the son of the cook or
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:11
			the servant.
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:13
			So I'm talking to to,
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:14
			you know,
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:16
			to joke with him and
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:17
			so he
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:18
			said,
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:20
			now, look at this,
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:22
			diamond ring I have.
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:25
			Had a big diamond. And he said, have
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:29
			you seen anything more precious than this diamond
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:29
			ring?
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:31
			The little kid said he was 6, 7
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:32
			years old. He said,
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:35
			yes. Your finger is more precious than this
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:36
			ring.
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:39
			Okay. He said, this guy is smart. Then
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:39
			he said,
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:42
			is your he said, I'm gonna get him
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:43
			this style.
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:44
			Is your
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:46
			house
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:46
			built
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:49
			or the palace of the king built the
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:50
			the palace of Khalifa?
		
00:18:50 --> 00:18:51
			He said, well,
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:54
			if you are in the palace, then the
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:56
			palace is better than my father's house. But
		
00:18:56 --> 00:18:58
			if you are in my father's house, then
		
00:18:58 --> 00:19:00
			my father's house is better than your palace.
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:03
			So he basically gave them the ring. He
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:04
			was an intelligent guy.
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:09
			Also, there's this story
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:11
			of some of the,
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:14
			Khalifa Omar and Abdul Aziz when he became
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:17
			the Khalifa, the delegations, they started to come
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:18
			to pay allegiance and stuff.
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:21
			So a delegation came from the Bedouins,
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:22
			Arab.
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:26
			It was a big delegation, and they have
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:28
			60 and 70 year old people and stuff,
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:29
			and they introduced
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:32
			a 9 year old kid to speak to
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:34
			represent a delegation.
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:37
			So the haditha said, what is this? A
		
00:19:37 --> 00:19:39
			kid to speak in front of the haditha?
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:41
			So he said, why don't you guys find
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:43
			somebody else older guy? Why is our guy
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:45
			to speak in front of me?
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:47
			So the little kid said, listen, Khalifa.
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:51
			A human being the most important organs in
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:53
			a human being are his
		
00:19:53 --> 00:19:54
			tongue and heart.
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:57
			And if it was if
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:59
			if if if if everything was about age,
		
00:19:59 --> 00:20:00
			then
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:03
			there are a lot of people, millions among
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:04
			muslims, who are
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:06
			older than you and therefore, they are more
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:08
			qualified to become Khalifa than you.
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:26
			To practice what you preach. Other otherwise, people
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:27
			would not listen to you. So if you
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:28
			give a flip flop
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:29
			button,
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:32
			smoking is a terrible thing.
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:34
			And you tell them, listen, guys, if you
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:36
			smoke, you are an idiot. Okay?
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:36
			Smoke.
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:41
			Nobody will listen to him.
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:43
			If you tell people pray and die and
		
00:20:43 --> 00:20:46
			you don't pray at all, okay, nobody will
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:46
			listen to
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:50
			you. They say that Imam Khunifa at his
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:52
			time, he was a scholar. Imam Abu Hanifa.
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:53
			The people came to him and and they
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:54
			said,
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:58
			we want you to give a wonderful Fatwa
		
00:20:58 --> 00:21:00
			to encourage people to free their slaves.
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:02
			He said, okay.
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:05
			So the first quote by the game, he
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:07
			spoke about a Hindu Abacha.
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:10
			He didn't talk about slavery. Okay?
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:12
			What does a Hindu Abacha have to do
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:13
			with slavery in English? No.
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:15
			The next quote by the started to talk
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:16
			about hash.
		
00:21:35 --> 00:21:35
			Okay?
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:38
			You did a excellent job, but
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:41
			too late now. Okay? We have been expecting
		
00:21:41 --> 00:21:43
			you for for a whole month to speak
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:43
			about slave.
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:46
			He said, I wanted to motivate people to
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:49
			speak about freemers slaves, and I didn't
		
00:21:49 --> 00:21:51
			have a slave himself. So what I did
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:54
			basically, I waited so I put collect some
		
00:21:54 --> 00:21:55
			money. I bought a slave and I freed
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:56
			him.
		
00:21:57 --> 00:21:59
			Now I can talk to people about freeing
		
00:21:59 --> 00:21:59
			slaves.
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:01
			But if I give them the talk,
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:03
			and I never free free the slave before,
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:05
			they will say, okay. What do you know
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:06
			about slaves?
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:08
			You don't have slaves.
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:11
			Also,
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:15
			knowledge is a very important thing. I said
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:16
			knowledge within.
		
00:22:18 --> 00:22:18
			Okay?
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:20
			And
		
00:22:21 --> 00:22:23
			you have to have knowledge of the topic
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:25
			you're talking about, and you have to have.
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:28
			And we'll talk about in a minute.
		
00:22:29 --> 00:22:31
			And I remember I gave this example a
		
00:22:31 --> 00:22:31
			long time ago.
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:35
			In a Muslim country in Southeast Asia,
		
00:22:37 --> 00:22:39
			they didn't have any man basically. But there
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:42
			was this guy named Moelai from the Quran,
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:44
			go alloha and the fat and stuff.
		
00:22:57 --> 00:22:59
			Okay. So they got this guy off the
		
00:22:59 --> 00:23:01
			street because he knew some surahs from the
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:03
			Quran and he became the imam in the
		
00:23:03 --> 00:23:04
			bush because he is the best one in
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:07
			the village. It's a remote village and most
		
00:23:07 --> 00:23:08
			people are not educated.
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:12
			So basically, he started to lead salah and
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:14
			after some time he started to give talks,
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:15
			khutbahs in front of everyone.
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:19
			Then it was Raheem Al Khattaim, so he
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:21
			was giving them a talk and he basically
		
00:23:21 --> 00:23:22
			was using a book of
		
00:23:23 --> 00:23:25
			to read and explain to them.
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:27
			So he was reading from a book.
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:30
			A book by itself is not enough. Allah
		
00:23:31 --> 00:23:32
			never sends a book
		
00:23:33 --> 00:23:34
			without a prophet. Right?
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:37
			A book never came by itself. It has
		
00:23:37 --> 00:23:38
			to come with a prophet to explain.
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:39
			Line
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:41
			in
		
00:23:41 --> 00:23:42
			the book. He was talking about. So he
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:42
			says, in Arabic, this is true. It is
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:43
			recommended recommended to have for the.
		
00:23:45 --> 00:23:46
			So what he understood basically is you have
		
00:23:46 --> 00:23:47
			to have
		
00:23:48 --> 00:23:48
			to
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:56
			for the for the for the animal. So
		
00:23:56 --> 00:23:58
			what he understood basically is you have to
		
00:23:58 --> 00:24:00
			make for the animal before you kill it.
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:03
			So he told him you have to watch
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:05
			the feet and the mouth and the nose
		
00:24:05 --> 00:24:06
			and the feet of the animal.
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:25
			Of course, what is understood from this ruling
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:27
			in 5th that the person himself who offers
		
00:24:27 --> 00:24:29
			the animal it is recommended to have a
		
00:24:29 --> 00:24:31
			law, but if you don't understand it, it's
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:32
			not a big deal. Okay?
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:34
			So he told him you have to to
		
00:24:34 --> 00:24:36
			wash the animal before you kill it. So
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:39
			this poor guy, he came from the back
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:41
			of the masjid, and he was terrified, and
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:42
			he said, Sheikh,
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:45
			may Allah forgive me, I'm ignorant. Last year,
		
00:24:45 --> 00:24:47
			I offered an animal, but I didn't know
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:48
			this golden rule,
		
00:24:48 --> 00:24:51
			and I didn't pick wudu for the animal.
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:53
			Is it accepted? He said, no. No. No.
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:55
			No. This is najat.
		
00:24:56 --> 00:24:58
			This is a mute. Can you pray with
		
00:24:58 --> 00:25:01
			that to Udu? I said, no. He said,
		
00:25:01 --> 00:25:03
			can you offer an animal without Udu? Can
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:05
			you offer a ray without Udu?
		
00:25:05 --> 00:25:06
			Oh,
		
00:25:07 --> 00:25:08
			Oh, same thing. Of course, this is not
		
00:25:08 --> 00:25:09
			true.
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:10
			Of
		
00:25:10 --> 00:25:10
			course,
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:13
			when you talk to people, you have to
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:16
			choose the right time. Okay? So for example,
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:18
			when I when it is Ramadan time,
		
00:25:19 --> 00:25:21
			why would I talk about the,
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:22
			polar
		
00:25:22 --> 00:25:23
			bear in my book?
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:25
			It has nothing to do with the thing.
		
00:25:26 --> 00:25:27
			If you are in the in the age
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:28
			of
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:30
			why should I talk about Ramadan?
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:33
			Two different things. You have to talk about
		
00:25:33 --> 00:25:34
			the topic
		
00:25:34 --> 00:25:37
			relevant to the time and relevant to the
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:40
			people. So for example, if I talk about,
		
00:25:40 --> 00:25:43
			a group of doctors, I'm supposed to go
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:44
			to doctors,
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:45
			at
		
00:25:46 --> 00:25:48
			a hospital to speak to them about the
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:49
			riots
		
00:25:50 --> 00:25:51
			of a Muslim patient. How to deal with
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:53
			the Muslim patient? And we we get this
		
00:25:53 --> 00:25:54
			all the time.
		
00:25:54 --> 00:25:56
			So why would I go to them and
		
00:25:56 --> 00:25:57
			and talk about
		
00:25:59 --> 00:26:01
			anything else? Why would I go to them
		
00:26:01 --> 00:26:03
			and talk about tourism in Egypt?
		
00:26:04 --> 00:26:06
			It's not on their business. Okay? This is
		
00:26:06 --> 00:26:08
			not the right time and this is not
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:09
			the right topic. You have to talk about
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:12
			something relevant to the people and relevant
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:13
			to the audience.
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:17
			And of course, you have to be considerate
		
00:26:17 --> 00:26:18
			of the audience
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:20
			condition. And for example,
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:24
			if you are talking to a highly educated
		
00:26:24 --> 00:26:26
			audience, you have to talk to them in
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:28
			a certain level. If you talk to an
		
00:26:28 --> 00:26:29
			uneducated
		
00:26:29 --> 00:26:31
			audience, you have to talk to them in
		
00:26:31 --> 00:26:33
			a different level. If you speak to children,
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:34
			if you speak to women, if you speak
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:35
			to men, you have to
		
00:26:36 --> 00:26:38
			tailor your speech to fit the people.
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:43
			Also, one of the mistakes, as I said
		
00:26:43 --> 00:26:45
			before, when you talk to people, talk to
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:46
			them in a way they can understand.
		
00:26:47 --> 00:26:50
			So for example, if I'm giving a talk
		
00:26:51 --> 00:26:54
			to revert Muslims, new Muslims, they just accepted
		
00:26:54 --> 00:26:55
			Islam last night.
		
00:26:55 --> 00:27:00
			So I go to them, my name is
		
00:27:00 --> 00:27:05
			Ijwal al Aqawati. Inshallah tonight, sa'ataka katna moo
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:10
			for you about Al Aqlaq al Maslato Mustaqeem.
		
00:27:10 --> 00:27:11
			What did they get from this?
		
00:27:12 --> 00:27:16
			Nothing. Nothing. Because I'm talking in Arabic. All
		
00:27:16 --> 00:27:16
			the terminology,
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:19
			there are still new Muslims. I don't know
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:20
			what I'm talking about. So you have to
		
00:27:20 --> 00:27:22
			make it simple to them.
		
00:27:25 --> 00:27:27
			So public speaking is a is a gift
		
00:27:27 --> 00:27:28
			from Allah SubhanAllah.
		
00:27:30 --> 00:27:32
			The other day, I was watching Malcolm X.
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:34
			And this guy,
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:36
			he was not in high level educated. He
		
00:27:36 --> 00:27:39
			dropped out of school when he was in
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:40
			the 3rd grade or
		
00:27:40 --> 00:27:43
			something. And he couldn't read. He couldn't write.
		
00:27:43 --> 00:27:45
			And he educated himself in jail. And when
		
00:27:45 --> 00:27:48
			he accepted Islam, you know, he changed completely.
		
00:27:48 --> 00:27:50
			And I was listening to some of the
		
00:27:50 --> 00:27:52
			talks he was giving and how he motivated
		
00:27:52 --> 00:27:55
			people and people almost fainted when they listened
		
00:27:55 --> 00:27:57
			to him. And They were crying sometimes. They
		
00:27:57 --> 00:28:00
			were laughing sometimes. He was an excellent speaker.
		
00:28:00 --> 00:28:00
			He's
		
00:28:01 --> 00:28:03
			may Allah forgive him and give him a
		
00:28:03 --> 00:28:03
			genuine.
		
00:28:04 --> 00:28:06
			Most of the African Americans in the US
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:09
			are Muslim now because of him.
		
00:28:09 --> 00:28:11
			I saw that his life were best. And
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:13
			this is a great brother, and I wish
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:15
			inshallah would be with him in in
