Been,
listening to your, like,
from the beginning of my Islam journey,
and I have a few questions, like, 2
questions. Okay. I'm gonna try to keep it
short. First off, I'm a Daia as well,
and I'm I have a team here. I
give, lessons.
I just repeat what I learned from my
teachers.
And I wanna ask you, like, you're, for
example, a role model to me. I live
in role. Allah, may Allah bless you. And
I wanna ask you, like, if you have
advice
on this journey,
like, which mistakes should Adaiyah avoid if you
wanna be successful?
Like, what are the things
you would avoid if you have started new
again?
I would have spent a lot more time
on learning. Yeah.
Like, I would have so that that would
be probably the one of the big ones.
Well And,
I would have
I would've appreciated the value of
collaborative learning.
What that means is
when I learn something from a teacher,
I learn it I I I, learn it
to the best of my ability, but I
do my own research and my own investigating
and my own asking questions. And then sometimes
I end up finding that what my teacher
shared with me, I'm not so convinced of
it.
So I need to learn from multiple sources
before I am at because that when I'm
when I'm gonna share something with someone,
I have to be I can't just rely
on one person.
I need to be able to say I
did justice
to my
examination before
I talked about something. Wow. There are surahs
in the Quran right now that I don't
talk about
because I haven't done my work. Subhanallah.
I've studied them. I've I've studied the tafsir,
but that's not enough work.
So, like, my biggest advice would be knowing
limits.
That would be 1.
Another advice would probably be
the
dua'at end up in a circle of people
that are similar minded to them
or are in the similar space. Mhmm. And
the more they do that, the more they
start getting cut off from the rest of
society. Yeah. Because they're in their own little
bubble. It's become their own the Islamic world.
Their own little Islamic world.
And
the more you do that, the more it's
hard it's harder for you to understand
what people outside that world feel,
what they go through, what they experience.
You can't
genuinely talk to someone if you don't understand
them.
Sometimes end up becoming more distant from their
own family, from their own parents, from their
because they don't see the religion the same
way. I think
if if someone's gonna be in this space,
they should actually engage the most difficult
family
more
and understand that perspective more.
Because that's what the Sahaba had to go
through.
Not to give Dawah to them, but to
but to not distance yourself
from them. Yeah. That would be,
I wish I didn't do I wish I
did that solo. It's fun. Yeah.
It's hard sometimes to keep that balance Yeah.
Because on the one side, you wanna be
successful, and on the other side, you have,
responsibilities
for family as well. And Yeah. Yeah.
K. Thank you so much.
It was very nice to meet you. May
Allah bless you and inshallah, we'll see you
again.
I hope you guys enjoyed that video clip.
