And you know why you get so nervous?
The first thing you have is a fear
that you'll say something that everybody will laugh
at.
This is your fear. And that fear is
making you anxious,
and that anxiety is making you unable to
what?
Speak. Speak. Speak. It's I can't do it.
So these things are related to each other.
Right? They're related to each other. And now
you're learning, where does confidence come from?
At the end of Quran week in Melbourne,
our beloved Sheikh Bilal Asad came to visit
Ustad Nur Rahman where together they recorded a
deeply insightful podcast episode together.
Thereafter, Sheikh Bilal invited Ustad Nur Rahman to
give a talk for the students at the
Australian International Academy in Melbourne. Here's what Ustad
shared with his students on that day. He
was just walking around,
and
he was he was really nervous about what
had happened. He hadn't told anybody yet. And
he saw the same Israelite, you know, the
one who was getting beat up.
He saw him in some corner
getting beat up again
by somebody else.
And then Musa realized something. Man, this guy,
he's shady.
He's a crook.
He's a thief. And that's why he keeps
getting in trouble with
the police.
Right? And
this time, the guy, you know, and he
he saw the same person,
and
he's like, you know what? No. I'm gonna
let the police teach you a lesson this
time. I'm not getting involved. I got in
enough trouble the last day already.
So he doesn't wanna help him this time.
And
this guy is getting a beating, beating, beating,
and he the the police was beating him
so much, he was gonna kill him.
Right? So now Musa, alayhis salam, thinking is
thinking to himself, this this is a no
good person, but that doesn't mean he deserves
to die.
So I should maybe do something.
So Allah says,
Then finally, when he decided, this time he's
not gonna throw any punches, Allah says,
which means he's just gonna go
grab the cup
to keep him from throwing more punches. That's
all he's that's his intention this time. Right?
So he gets up, and he's trying to
walk slowly towards the police officer to try
to stop him.
But the guy that was taking a beating,
you guys know ground and pound? You guys
know anything about that? Okay. So he's getting
grounded and pounded, and he sees Musa walking
this way.
He's con the the the criminal is confused.
He's like, is he coming to help me
or is he mad about yesterday because I
made him kill a cop and he's trying
to join the cop and join in on
the beat down?
And if he is,
I can handle a lot of punches from
this police officer.
But if that man throws a punch, what
happens?
I'm gonna die.
So this guy who's getting beat is like,
I gotta save myself.
Oh, I know.
So he starts screaming out.
He goes,
Oh, so you wanna kill me like you
killed somebody yesterday?
So he called out because he was the
only witness. Remember?
So now all of a sudden, in front
of a crowd, there was a bunch of
people out there on the streets, and he
called out, you're the one who killed the
cop.
And he did this because he was trying
to
save himself.
One of the things you might learn from
this is, yeah, Muslim should help others. We
should. But you should be careful who you
associate with, and what kind of help you
give.
Because the kind of help you give
might end up getting you in trouble.
And depending on the kind of person you
help and the kind of help you give,
they might not be so loyal to you.
They might turn on you the next day
and throw you under the bus. So that's
what he did to Musa alaihi wa sama,
so he escapes.
Right now, he's trying to get away from
Egypt,
and he doesn't know where to go. He
has no idea.
But somehow, he escaped And and by the
way, there's another interesting part of the story.
Somebody helped him escape.
Somebody helped Musa alaihis salaam escape because he
didn't know where to go, and he was
hiding, and all the cops are looking for
him. Now, this is an important piece of
the story.
Who was loved
by
or who
loved Musa alaihis salam a lot?
Firon. Firon. And who didn't like him? Remember?
The cops didn't like him. The Egyptians didn't
like him. So all of a sudden, he's
killed one of the cops. So who really
wants to kill him right now?
The cops wanna kill him. But usually, if
the cops are looking for a criminal,
they arrest the criminal and they bring the
criminal to court, then the criminal has to
stand in front of a judge, and the
judge looks at the case and then he
decides. The only problem with that is when
they arrest Musa and they bring him to
to court, who's gonna be the judge?
No. Firal's gonna be the judge. And Firal's
gonna say, okay. Yeah. No more punches for
you. Okay? Now go to your room and
think about what you did. In other words,
he's not gonna get in that much trouble.
Why? Because Erdogan loves him too much. Right?
And the cops know that. They know that
if we give him if we arrest him
and take him back to court, he's just
gonna get away with it.
But the cops come up with a better
idea.
They're like they had a see the cops
had a secret meeting among themselves.
And they have this meeting, it's called in
Arabic.
They have a meeting among themselves, the police
is like, Listen.
Officially, we're supposed to find him and arrest
him.
But unofficially,
if we find him, we're gonna
kill him, and then we'll make it look
like an accident. And then we'll come back
to pharaoh and said,
I don't know. He just ran off the
top of a building. Don't know what happened
there.
I don't know. He ran into a spear.
You must have been slippery that day. Lots
of banana peels on the street.
Right? So
that's that's what we're gonna do. We're gonna
make it look like it was an accident.
So this was their they didn't announce this
plan. This plan was secret.
Now one of the police officers, one of
the police chiefs that was in that secret
meeting
had his own secret. He was secretly Musa's
best friend.
He was so he's in the meeting where
they're discussing that they're gonna kill Musa,
and now he knows that the cops are
not gonna arrest Musa. They're gonna shoot first,
ask questions later. That's what they're gonna do.
So now he's in that meeting, and he
knows because it's his best friend, he kind
of knows where Musa would be hiding
because they know they know each other. So
when Musa alaihis salam is hiding in the
city because everybody's looking for him,
his friend somehow finds him
and says, Hey, hey, hey. No, no, no.
I'm here to I'm I'm I mean well
for you. I'm not here to arrest you,
calm down. Because he's obviously his friend's wearing
uniform.
Right? So he tells him, I'm I'm I
mean well for you. No. No. No. I'm
not here to arrest you, but listen.
Like, these police chiefs have made a secret
meeting and they've made a plan, they're gonna
kill you. Fafroj,
you have no choice but to leave Egypt.
You have no choice but to leave Egypt.
Right? So now, Musa alaihi wasalam has to
escape
Egypt. I don't know if you guys have
ever You guys play video games? I know,
I play old people video games like assassins
creed. I don't know if you ever in
assassins creed?
Okay. So, you know, in games like assassins
creed, you have to you have to hide
and people can spot you, and the the
radar keeps going up and up, and if
it turns red that means you've been spotted.
But you have to move carefully and be
incognito so you don't get spotted, and you
can escape and get to where you need
to go. Right? That's what happens in some
games. So you have to be covert,
you know, hidden operation.
The word for that in Arabic
is means watch every step, kinda move carefully.
Oh, there's a cup over there. Just turn
your face. Just move your head down a
little bit. You know,
jump into a stack of hay or something.
I don't know. Right? Allah says,
Allah says, Musa alaihi sallam then left
from
this place, from Egypt,
full of fear and watching every step. Like
he's just really carefully trying to escape
and get to where he needs to go.
But once he escapes Egypt, which was, you
know, the capital, the area, it was this
big city. Once you get out, it's the
desert.
So he's now out in the desert.
Did he pack for this journey?
What do you think?
No. He didn't pack for this journey. Was
he prepared for a journey through the desert?
No. Okay. Now here's the other thing about
the desert.
Are there clear roads in the desert so
you know exactly where to go?
No. You have no idea where to go.
In fact, if you walk into the desert,
it could be that even if you if
you turn just a you know, you're not
walking in a perfectly straight line, it's slightly
bent. Your walk is slightly bent. You might
end up making a giant circle and not
even know.
You wouldn't even know. And if you were
supposed to head this way, imagine from here
all the way to the end there. If
somebody turned just one degree off,
right, 2 hours later, they end up in
a completely different area. You know, in geometry,
when a line is slightly at a different
angle, it keeps getting distant and distant and
more distant from the original point. Right? So
he's If he makes even one little bit
of a slight turn, he might end up
in the middle of nowhere, completely dehydrated,
you know, and and just die of, you
know, of the cold or the extreme heat
in the middle of the desert. That will
be the end of him. So he doesn't
know where to go. And he's imagine like
this, he's just standing there kind of looking
around, looking around.
Now imagine,
a 100 kilometers from there, 500 kilometers from
there. So really long distance from there, there's
a place that can say there's water, or
there's a place where he could be safe.
Can he tell which way that is?
No. You would kinda need a GPS. Right?
Like a GPS could tell you, okay, you're
off, you're going straight, this many meters, this
many kilometers. It it kinda guides you. Allah
says something amazing in the Quran. Allah says,
(QS. Al Mujadil
Qa'amadian)
The He's facing He's turning his face in
all these kinds of directions but when he
turned his face in the exact direction of
a city called Madyan,
then he asked Allah, hopefully Allah will guide
me to the straight way. And he starts
walk Allah put a feeling in him, this
is the way you gotta go.
And he starts walking.
And he ends up actually by some water.
Right? So that's how Allah guided him out
of that situation.
Now, I wanted to share a little bit
of that part of the story with you.
Then there's another part of the story I
wanted to share with you.
And that part of the story
has to do with when he after he
got married,
and
he forgot all about Egypt. He was really
happy that he escaped Egypt. And he knows
something about Egypt. The moment he goes back,
what's gonna happen?
They're gonna kill him. But now he's okay.
He's got a wife, he's got a new
life, he's got kids, he's
fine. He's he's got a new life and
he doesn't have to worry about going back
anymore.
And one day he was traveling with his
family and it so happens
then they got a little bit lost.
And it got night time. So it's getting
really dark.
And so he's calming his family down and
he sees up on top of a hill,
he can see a fire.
And he tells his family, I think there's
a fire up there. They couldn't see it.
He could see it.
So he's like, You guys wait here. I'm
gonna go see if I can get some
because we couldn't they couldn't start a fire.
Let me see if I can borrow some
fire from them, and we can start a
fire of our own. And maybe those people
know where the nearest town is. Right? So
maybe I'll find some guidance there, some directions
there.
Maybe I'll find some guidance there. Or
so you can get some fire too. So
you guys just wait here. Now he's climbing
up the mountain. Has he been on this
mountain before?
No. He's never been there before. Does he
know who's gonna meet up there? No.
So obviously, he's expecting it's gonna be just
a bunch of strangers,
right? Or some people sitting around the fire.
As he approaches,
he hears the following words.
What does mean?
Musa.
That's what it means. I don't translate o.
I just say Musa.
Now you're going up a mountain you've never
been before
in a place you've never people you've never
met before, and all of a sudden you
hear what?
Your name. Your own name.
What is going on?
I'm your master. Take off your shoes.
That's what he hears.
And now he's having a conversation with Allah.
Right? Now, I will give you a little
bit of homework.
The part where he escapes,
the part that I showed you where he
escapes,
that's in Suratul I'll see if you remember
that later. What did I just say? That's
in what?
Suratul That's number 28.
Okay?
The part where he has a long
conversation with Allah. So that conversation is in
different places, but where he has a really
long conversation with Allah,
for the first time,
that part is in Surat Taha,
Surah number 20.
Let me see if you remember.
The part where he escapes
Egypt is in what surah?
Al Fassas. What number was that? 28. Oh,
28. The part where he has a conversation
with Allah, where is that? That's
taha, surah number 20.
But then there's another and different different surahs
kind of focus on different parts of the
episode.
Okay? But there's another this last part of
the episode that I wanna share with you
about is one of my favorite parts.
Is when he okay. So he's finally talking
to Allah.
It's it's an amazing moment in his life,
and he's really grateful to Allah because Allah
is the one who helped him escape,
what? Egypt. Egypt.
And now I'll tell you something from Surat
Ashu
Ara. Surat Ashu Ara is surah number 26.
Okay? So this is the part of the
conversation between him
and Allah
that is in surah number 26.
And that's that's all I'll talk to you
about today. Just this small piece.
He is so happy that Allah had saved
him, and Allah says to him in surah
number 26,
go to the wrongdoing people.
Guys, sorry for the interruption in the middle
of this lecture. Just before you continue, I
wanna let you know and encourage you that
I want you to sign up for baynatv.com
and help others sign up or even sponsor
students for baynatv.com
so we can create worldwide communities of students
that are studying the meanings and the benefit
and the wisdom of the Quran,
and are
spreading that in their own circles. Thanks so
much.
Allah is giving him a instruction.
Go to the wrongdoing people.
And Musa alaihis salam might be thinking,
I wonder which wrongdoing people he wants me
to go to because it definitely won't be
which ones?
Egypt. Egypt. Because obviously, they're the ones that
are gonna kill me. So there must be
some other wrongdoing people you want me to
go talk to. And Allah clarifies in the
next ayah,
the people of pharaoh,
I want you to go back.
Aren't they gonna be aren't they gonna wanna
protect themselves?
Shouldn't they be protecting themselves?
Musa alaihi wasalam's thinking, wait. I thought I
was getting away because
I was protecting myself.
And Allah is saying, you need to go
back because those people should be worried that
they're not protecting
themselves. It's like Allah is saying to him,
you're not the one who needs protection.
They're the ones in danger. They're the ones
who need protection. Because you have Allah on
your side, you you they may you may
have the government of Egypt against you, but
they have the government of Allah against them.
So they're the ones in trouble, and you
need to let them know how much trouble
they're in.
K? So he says, go and talk to
these people. Now Musa alaihi wasalam immediately thinking,
oh, that's gonna be tough.
What do you know about prophets? Do you
know when Allah tells them to do something,
what do they do? They do it. They
do it. Very good. You all know that.
Right? Like Ibrahim alayhi salam, Allah says about
him,
When Allah said to him, surrender, he
surrender. He told him slaughter your son, slaughter
your son. Jump into a fire, jump into
a fire. Take your family in the middle
of a desert, take your family in the
middle of a desert. No questions asked.
When Allah told Musa alaihi salaam, go.
Go back to pharaoh. What do we expect
Musa alaihi salaam to say? Go to the
Okay. So may Allah wa ta'ala. Okay. I
hear and I obey. I'm going. That's not
what he says.
That's not what he says at all. In
fact, this is this is your next bit
of an assignment but before I do I
forgot all about the surahs.
When he escaped Egypt that was
Al Imran. Very good.
When he had a long conversation with Allah,
that was highlighted in
Baha. And the conversation we're learning about now
is in
What? Who? What?
Did you just make up a surah? What
did you just say?
Ladies? Ladies?
You can speak too, you know. I believe
you have mouths also, you use them a
lot with each other.
Let's go. Which surah we're talking about right
now?
Very good. Okay. So, now,
listen listen.
So,
Allah tells him go back to pharaoh.
Musa alaihis salam is gonna say 5 things.
He's not gonna say one thing.
He's gonna say 5 things.
And none of those 5 things are, yes.
Here I go, my rub.
I obey. It's not that. It's 5 things.
And I want you to know these 5
things.
Number 1,
I'm really scared that they're gonna call me
a liar.
Number 1, I'm scared they will call me
a? Liar.
Number 2,
When they call me a liar, I'm gonna
get anxiety. My chest becomes tight which basically
means I'm gonna get anxiety.
So number 1, they'll call me a liar.
Number 2, I'll get? Anxiety. Anxiety.
Number 3,
I won't be able to speak because when
I get anxious, I'm not able to speak.
So what was number 1?
They'll call me a liar. Number 2,
I'll get anxiety. Number 3,
I won't be able to speak. Faarsil
ilahaaroon,
I have an idea.
Why don't you give this mission to haroon
instead?
Because I'm not very good at it because
when they call me a liar, I'll get
anxiety, and I won't be able to speak
properly.
So I my brother's pretty good at speaking.
Could you give this to Harun?
And that was how many things now?
4. Here's item number 5, the most interesting.
Oh, and by the way, they have a
crime on record against me and I'm afraid
they'll kill me.
What's he talking about?
The police and the whole thing that happened,
right? 5 things. Let's see if you can
remember these 5 things. What was number 1?
Show of hands now. Let's see. Ladies, ladies,
ladies.
Yes.
He couldn't speak? No, that was number 2.
I need number 1 all the way in
the back.
Liar. No. Don't call me a liar.
I say, hey. And you're like, liar?
Okay fine, they'll call me a liar. Number
2,
gentlemen, yes sir.
He's gonna have anxiety.
Number 3.
Number 3. Number 3, number 3.
Yes?
He won't be able to talk.
Number 4.
You're just popping out of your chair, the
temperature of your seat just increased. Yes.
Yes.
Yes. What number was it? Did you just
ask your friend what number it was?
Okay. Tell me.
Now
I have anxiety.
We're gonna have to start over because that
messed up the order.
What what call it out. Everybody, call it
out. What was number 1?
Liar.
Liar. Yes. Number 2.
Liar. Number 3.
Aditiya.
Speechless. Speechless.
Speechless. Unlike you. Okay.
And number 4,
ladies, your turn. Let's see.
No. You guys no. Sorry. Sorry. No. Ladies,
number 4.
Show of hands.
Show of hands. Yes.
Send.
Tell Harun to go, please.
Number 5.
You're killing me. You're killing me here. I'm
gonna kill you. Yes.
Kill You're gonna kill me. Very good. Okay,
now listen, listen, listen.
The first the first
thing wasn't,
They will kill me.
What was the first thing?
My question is, isn't it weird
that he should be afraid of being killed
but his number one fear is not that
he will be killed, his number one fear
is what?
Lies. That they're gonna call him a lie.
You know what that means? He's afraid of
being humiliated.
Guys, listen to this carefully. He's afraid of
what?
Being humiliated.
Like many of you,
You're afraid of being humiliated.
You're afraid of being made fun of by
your friends in school or not that much
friends. You're afraid of somebody making fun of
the shoes you're wearing or the way you're
dressed or your hair or your hijab or
your bag your backpack or your height or
how fat you are, or how skinny you
are, or how short you are, or how
how weird you are, how your glasses are
ugly,
listen.
You are in fact afraid a lot of
times. Or the teacher in class asks you
a question, and you're thinking, I should try
to give the answer, but if I give
the wrong answer, then everybody else is gonna
laugh at me, or that really smart kid
in class that's so obnoxious is gonna look
at me and say,
And you're afraid of that humiliation
so you don't say anything.
Right? So being afraid of the comments of
other people, being afraid of being bullied, being
afraid of being called names is so huge,
it actually makes humans different from animals.
A cockroach doesn't care if you use bad
words for the cockroach and say, You're such
a liar. You're so filthy. You're disgusting.
You cockroach. Like it won't it won't be
insulted.
You know? You you could you could yell
at a bird. You can you can, you
know, have a have a mean conversation with
a snake. You're such a snake. Like you
could you could do that.
It won't be but human beings, we're different.
If people say mean things to us, it
actually hurts us a lot.
People can be perfectly healthy,
adults can be perfectly healthy, and they go
to work, and somebody disrespects them at work,
and they lose their appetite, they feel sick,
they don't wanna go back to work, they
completely collapse. Why? Because of the words of
other people.
Human beings are different unlike any other species
because Allah didn't just make us
creatures that need food, water, drink, shelter, protection.
Not just that, we need dignity too.
We need dignity too. And Musa Alaihi Wasallam
is more scared to lose his dignity
than he is to lose his life.
You know? This is actually pretty serious in
the Quran because, you know, Mariam, when she
had a baby you guys know the story?
You know, when she had a baby, she
was so scared
to go back
because people were gonna say mean things to
her because of her baby
that she told the Angel,
If only I could be dead before this
happens. Like she was so scared of humiliation,
death became an easier solution in her mind
than even humiliation.
The reason I'm telling you this is Allah
has told us in this religion
that respect,
giving respect
is actually one of the most important rights
that a person has over you, and is
one of the most important rights you have
for yourself.
And there are many places in the Quran
and in the sunnah of the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam where you kind of learn
that actually this is just as important
and just as bigger crime
as even taking a life itself because life
is nothing without dignity.
Life is nothing without dignity.
In a in a famous hadith of the
Prophet I'll summarize it for you. He was
talking he loved the Kaaba so much.
He was talking to the Kaaba and telling
the Kaaba that the dignity of a believer
is more important to Allah than even your
dignity. Now remember how much respect we show
to the Kaaba. Isn't it?
Nobody goes to the Umrah or Hajj and
is ever going to even imagine disrespecting the
house of Allah.
Right? You're in a mode of absolute in
awe and respect of Allah's house. And this
is the kind of thing that Allah Allah's
prophet taught us. If you have that much
respect for the Kaaba, that's how much respect
you should have for the dignity
of your friend or the kid that you
pick on or the friend that's outside your
friend's circle. You guys have your own circles
and somebody's outside of that circle, and then
it's easy to pick on them or to
make fun of them. Right? But their dignity
is sacred.
And it's kind of ironic that you can
make fun of someone and humiliate someone and
embarrass someone, and then salah time comes and
you're making sajdah in the direction of the
Kaaba. You're showing respect to the Kaaba,
no respect to the dignity that Allah also
made sacred.
Right? That's sacred too. And Musa alaihi salaam
considers his own dignity so sacred
that losing that is more terrifying to him
than even losing his own
life. That's what he tells Allah. I'm really
scared of being humiliated. I'm really scared that
they're gonna call me a lie. He didn't
just say,
He said,
No.
No. No.
I'm scared that they're gonna call me a
liar. He was terrified of this.
But then when people say bad things to
you, the next thing you guys remember, number
2 was,
anxiety. Well, what does that mean? When you
you could be really confident, but if somebody
says mean things, and somebody accuses you, and
somebody humiliates you, then you can lose your
confidence and you won't be able to speak.
Right? And some people are really good at
making you upset.
And like, you know, there there are people
that are very manipulative in conversation.
So if I wanted to have a conversation
with my older brother or older sister or
something or younger sister, and say, Hey,
did you did you take my
pen from here? What did you say?
Say it again.
And when you when you start getting like
that, when you get upset like that, the
other person gets what?
They get nervous. They get anxious.
They forget that what what they were gonna
say. What happens when you get anxiety?
You can't remember what you had to say.
If some some of you are very confident,
Masha Allah. Others of you get very anxious.
And if I asked you to come and
give a speech right now,
and I told you a subject, you'll be
like,
something about Islam.
And you know why you get so nervous?
The first thing you have is a fear
that you'll say something that everybody will laugh
at.
This is your fear. And that fear is
making you anxious,
and that anxiety is making you unable to
what?
Speak.
It's I can't do it.
So these things are related to each other,
right? They're related to each other, and now
you're learning where does confidence come from.
Confidence comes from you stop being afraid of
the opinions of people.
That's where it comes from.
And then you can just speak, then you
can just say what's on your mind.
You're not trying to impress people, and you're
not afraid of the humiliation coming from people.
You can just express yourself.
Hey.
What else did he say to Allah? 3
things. Okay. So there's the,
I'm afraid they're gonna humiliate me, call me
a liar, I'll get anxiety, I won't be
able to speak, and therefore I'm not good
enough for this.
Who should be given this mission? Harun. Harun
should be given this mission. And finally,
now he's actually afraid. By the way, why
is he putting Harun first in his life
later? Because to him, the mission Allah gave
him is more important, his life is less
important.
So before
I'm afraid that I'll be killed, I'm more
afraid that I don't provide a solution for
this instruction that Allah gave.
So He says, Please give this mission to
haroon.
Now, Allah is going to listen to all
5 of those things, and Allah is going
to respond to him. And the way Allah
responds is pretty amazing. Allah says 2 words.
In the Arabic, it's 2 words, but they
have a whole world in them.
He said, kalla fadhaba. Kalah means not at
all.
I'll say that again. Kalah means what? No.
Not at all. And then He said, both
of you go.
Not at all, both of you go. Let's
understand that. His fear number 1 was, they
will call Me a liar.
Allah says, not at all. Don't worry about
it.
I'll get anxiety.
Allah says,
not at all. Don't worry about it.
I won't be able to speak. Allah says,
Not at all. Don't worry about it.
Send my brother, please.
Allah says, Both of you go.
They're gonna kill me. Not at all. Don't
worry about it.
2 words, it's all done.
And then he says, And you can both
go, and I'll also send some miracles with
you.
Some special stuff with you. You know the
the some of the special stuff that was
sent?
Like what?
The ayat.
The stick
that turned into Snake. A snake, and the
hand that turned
White. White. Now here's the thing. I'm gonna
leave you with this, but it's something to
think about for you. When Musa alaihis salam
finally went back,
when he finally went back,
and he's in front of Firaun eventually, which
is a pretty epic story, how did he
even make it back? Right? But when he
finally standing in front of the king
and he's about to have this conversation with
him, what did he have in his hand?
Sticks on a stick. He had a stick.
One thing that could have happened is he
could have just gone there
and he could have just dropped the stick
in the very beginning
like a mic drop.
And what would the stick have done?
It would've turned into a snake. It would've
gone up to the pharaoh and
problem solved.
You know, if if the pharaoh is the
problem
and Allah has given him a giant snake
that cannot be overcome,
just drop the snake,
problem solved. Is that what happens?
No. So that's something to think about, why
didn't that happen? But anyway, I've shared enough
of that story with you guys today. InshaAllah.
I hope you guys enjoyed yourselves, You learned
something inshallah.
Okay?
