The speaker discusses the challenges of life and the importance of being a physician to help people. They describe the "ENTablement" (the anyone who takes care of people and doesn't kill them) as a systemic plan to move people out of hospitals and buildings, and encourage people to go back to visit and remind them about a place called Corps. They also mention a scene at a hospital where people say "come and grecribe" and remind people of a place called obtain.

00:00:09 --> 00:00:11
			Your time going to Gaza.
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:13
			How was your experience?
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:14
			Alhamdulillah
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:17
			for having me.
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:27
			You know, Al Kalam
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:28
			Yaskut?
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:32
			The words, the speech becomes hollow and has
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:33
			no meaning.
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			This is how it is.
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:37
			I have to say I'm extremely grateful to
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:38
			Allah
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:40
			He gave me this opportunity,
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:42
			but whatever I say,
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45
			it will not give it justice,
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:46
			Subhanallah.
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:47
			Lessons
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:50
			and lessons you'll learn from these people.
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:53
			I honestly don't know how they have been
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:54
			doing this
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:56
			for 6 months now. We're getting to the
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:57
			7th month.
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			The whole 8 days we were there,
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:02
			not
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:05
			the only word of complaint, if you want
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:08
			to even call it complaint, I heard,
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:10
			was one of the nurses looked at me
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:11
			and says,
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:14
			We're tired.
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:16
			It's
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:17
			SubhanAllah
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:18
			SubhanAllah.
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:23
			You obviously were watching it SubhanAllah for the
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:25
			months leading up to it. We even did
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:27
			a talk together about
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:30
			how we could observe, you know, such resilience
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:31
			from afar.
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:34
			Was there anything that was different about
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:35
			being there
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:38
			versus seeing it from afar? Was there anything
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:40
			that surprises you or anything that was re
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:43
			emphasized to you when you were there? Absolutely.
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:44
			The magnitude
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:47
			of it. With the hospital we were there,
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:50
			it's 2 buildings. 1 is the main hospital,
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:52
			AR and everything, and the other one was
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:54
			the maternity building.
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:57
			Once the war started, the maternity building became
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:58
			the trauma center.
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:00
			But that's not it.
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:02
			The hospital more than 50 percent of the
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:05
			people in the hospital are not patients. They're
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07
			actually they call them displaced, mohajarin.
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:11
			As you enter, on the left side,
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:12
			there is
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:13
			a mattress,
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:15
			and there is a woman.
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:17
			So I saw her day 1, day 2,
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:20
			day 3, it. So I had to talk
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:22
			to her, and she said, I've been here
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:23
			for 3 months.
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			Me and my Allah.
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:27
			Me and my daughter,
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:29
			one mattress.
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
			What do you eat? Whatever they give us.
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:35
			Whatever rabijib, whatever Allah brings.
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:37
			Where is the bathroom
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:41
			for the patient in here? And here is
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:44
			every corner.
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:47
			To walk in that building you have to
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:50
			say, Excuse me, Assalamu Alaikum. Because either there
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:51
			is injured, there's family,
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:53
			there is stretchers
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:54
			to get up.
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:56
			And this woman,
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:58
			where is your family?
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:00
			She said, have gone,
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:02
			and a couple of them are still in
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:04
			the north. These people are all came from
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:06
			the north, from Gaza City. She says, My
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:07
			husband and son
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:09
			are still in the north, My daughter with
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:11
			me, the rest I don't know.
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:13
			Mhmm. And you know what I don't know
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:14
			me?
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:15
			Yeah.
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:17
			May Allah forgive me for this, but just
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:19
			to make it clearer for everybody. You know
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:21
			when they want you to taste something, they
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:23
			say this is appetizer.
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:26
			Everything we are seeing, including from
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:29
			the journalist inside, is
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:30
			1, 2, 3%
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:32
			from what
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:34
			we saw and when you are there and
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:37
			you see day in, day out.
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:39
			Enough for 8 days.
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:42
			You live with this sound, zzz.
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:45
			And I was like, what is this?
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:48
			Because my bed was exactly next to the
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:48
			window.
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:01
			And they say it's so casual. Oh, this
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:02
			is the drones.
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:03
			Dukhtura,
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:05
			don't be scared.
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:07
			I said drones. He said oh no as
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:08
			long as you hear
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:10
			it then you're safe.
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:12
			It's when it's quiet
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:13
			you need to
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:15
			be careful.
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:18
			And if you hear the sound of bombing,
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:20
			you need to smile. Listen to this.
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:21
			SubhanAllah.
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:23
			If it is coming to you, you will
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:24
			feel nothing,
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:27
			either you will feel nothing because you're dead
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:30
			or the next thing you'll see everything is
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:32
			in your head, you will not hear the
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:33
			sound of the bombing.
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:37
			Almost everyone I spoke to will this end,
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:40
			what will happen? Nobody can predict but they
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:43
			have this faith that it will end.
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:47
			SubhanAllah, there's a culture that develops around being
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:47
			in a genocide.
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:51
			Tactics that people learn how to cope with
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:53
			and things that become street instincts for the
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:55
			kids, for the elders.
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			When you were there and you were kind
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:00
			of living it
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:02
			and seeing the people
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:03
			running back and forth,
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:06
			did you feel like people had given up
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:08
			on Gaza as a whole?
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:09
			At all.
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:11
			SubhanAllah.
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:16
			Two things you hear every age I talked
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:16
			with,
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:19
			it's our land, we're not leaving.
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:22
			Those who may be not as strong as
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:25
			this, they say, leave, go where?
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:28
			No one said, except
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:31
			if they are if they have elderly,
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:34
			like parents or people who are sick. For
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:36
			example, there was a girl, SubhanAllah,
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:39
			for 6 days, as we walk to go
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:42
			to our room, you pass, of course she's
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:43
			in the corridor,
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:43
			has
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:48
			leg injury. It is not amputated. Actually, one
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:51
			of the surgeons here saved it. And then
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:53
			she you know, we speak and she's very
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:53
			bubbly,
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:54
			happy
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:57
			child, 11 years old. I don't know who's
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:59
			with her, and then she looked at me
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:01
			one day and says, guess where I'm going
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:03
			tomorrow? I said, where? Smiley. So I'm going
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:04
			to Egypt.
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:06
			And I said, why? She said, because they're
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:08
			gonna take care of my leg.
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:10
			That's the only reason why she is
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:11
			happy.
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:14
			But the fact they wanna leave,
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:18
			No. Mhmm. Everyone says when we go back.
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:20
			Even when we are leaving, it was very
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:22
			emotional when we're leaving. It's like next time
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:24
			because we are in the middle, we're in
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:26
			Derballah. They said next time you're coming visit
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:29
			us on Gaza, Gaza City in the north.
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:33
			I'm actually talking to you from the call
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:36
			room at Shuhada Al Aqsa Hospital where I
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:39
			just came from the ER, and I saw
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:41
			a patient with vaginal bleeding. And you can
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:44
			just hear that's an ambulance because there was
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:46
			a bombing and shelling this morning. There is
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:48
			not a single place
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:49
			in this hospital.
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:52
			No waiting room, no corridor
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:53
			that is not
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:57
			filled with patients either on stretchers
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:59
			or most of them are on the floors.
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:02
			This needs to stop. There is no reason
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:03
			on Earth
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:06
			that this should continue or there is no
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:09
			reason on Earth that this should not stop.
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:12
			Civilians should not pay the price for this
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:13
			at all.
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:15
			So I wanna kinda walk back
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:18
			to when you first got there, when you
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:20
			first got the call, when you knew that
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:21
			you were going.
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:24
			I know that you'd let me know SubhanAllah,
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:26
			it was it was at that time only
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:27
			a few people that knew you were going
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:28
			to Hazza
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:29
			from Umrah.
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:33
			When you step into that world,
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:35
			what's the first thing that hits you as
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:37
			you step into that world? Let me take
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:40
			you back. Okay. I didn't get the call.
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:42
			Okay. I wanted to go.
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:46
			Since I learned that people are going, physicians
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:49
			are going, I start filling every application.
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:51
			Why is it coming? Nothing.
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:52
			Nothing. SubhanAllah.
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:54
			And then,
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:57
			Ramadan start day 4 a friend of mine
		
00:07:57 --> 00:07:59
			said fill this one, this one probably they
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:02
			will I filled it, nothing.
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:04
			And I really wanted to go
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:07
			because I felt the least I can do
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:10
			is what I'm doing right now. Right? Even
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:12
			if I'm not gonna do a lot of
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:13
			medical work, which I did alhamdulillah,
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:16
			but somebody has to do something at least.
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:20
			Finally, we are on a group in Southern
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:21
			California, Muslim Physicians.
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:23
			Before Ramadan, they put a picture
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:26
			of 1 of the female physicians. Out of
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:28
			the blue, I don't know the woman. I
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:28
			texted her,
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:31
			and I said, I wanna go.
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:33
			And she said, Doctor. Haifa, you wanna go?
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:34
			I said, I wanna go. She said, I
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:37
			can't now. You have to be after Ramadan.
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:38
			I said, I can't after Ramadan.
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:41
			I have work and everything. It has to
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:42
			be in the last 10 days of Ramban.
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:45
			That's my day off. These are my days
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:47
			off. Normally, I have nothing in the last
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:47
			10 days,
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:50
			and she said, Let me see. Till 2
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:52
			days before we're going, we didn't know we're
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:55
			going. They prepped us so that you may
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:56
			be in Egypt,
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:57
			and they will not let you go.
		
00:08:58 --> 00:08:59
			Allah made it happen.
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:02
			Still, when you are in the car, it's
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:04
			a 16 hours car
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:07
			ride. It is only 5 hours, it's 450
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:10
			kilos, but there's a lot off.
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:12
			So you reach to, Rafah
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:15
			it's two sides. So this is the Egyptian
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:17
			side, a gate, and the Palestinian
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:20
			side. You leave the Rafah, the Egyptian, you
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:22
			get to the Palestinian, you don't see Ghazayed
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:24
			cause you go right away to the immigration.
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:26
			They kept you there till everything, you know,
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:26
			the usual.
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:29
			The moment you come out, what do you
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:30
			see?
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:32
			Number 1, you don't see any of the
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:34
			destructions, any of the things you have seen.
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:36
			And on the left side you see, and
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:38
			I have a picture of it actually,
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:40
			a big sign in red
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:41
			says Gaza.
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:43
			Beautiful.
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:46
			I looked at it and I was like,
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:50
			am I here? Is it real? Subhanallah. Subhanallah.
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:53
			And then we were there for about 2
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:54
			or 3 hours.
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:57
			It's almost Maghrib time and I hear someone
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:58
			is reading Quran.
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:55
			What a voice.
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:58
			Mhmm. Just waiting for the adhan. And, actually,
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:01
			we, we had Maghrib
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:05
			in at the border under the sign we
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:06
			had dates and water, subhanAllah.
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:10
			There is no words. It's joy,
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:11
			it's happiness,
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:13
			it's
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:15
			you don't believe what you are there,
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:17
			scared, you don't know what is going to
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:18
			happen,
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:20
			but overall
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:21
			grateful.
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:23
			I kept saying You Allah I don't deserve
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:24
			it,
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:26
			but you are generous.
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:29
			How do you explain that to someone who
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:30
			doesn't understand?
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:32
			Why would you go put yourself in a
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:33
			war zone
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:35
			where the air strikes are
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:38
			frequent, where the Israeli government has shown no
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:41
			regard for any humanitarian law, international law. I
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:43
			mean, people of all sorts are getting killed.
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:45
			How do you explain that to someone that's
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:45
			not Muslim?
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:47
			A colleague comes up to you or says,
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:48
			you know,
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:50
			why is it that you would put yourself
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:52
			in that situation and then find joy in
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:53
			it? My colleague,
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:57
			she texted me and says happy Ramadan
		
00:11:57 --> 00:11:59
			and happier Eid, and I said I'm Al
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:00
			Ghazah.
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:02
			She didn't say anything. 2 days later she
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:04
			texted me says are you okay?
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:06
			So when I came back and she said
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:09
			I was doing rounds, there was another, Palestinian
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:11
			physician, and I was telling him she is
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:12
			there. He said, is she okay?
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:14
			Is she alive?
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:16
			She asked me,
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:19
			I tell you what. I think we as
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:20
			a human,
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:23
			we really need to think of our humanity.
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:27
			Muslims, but I'm talking about in general. What
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:30
			is a human being if you don't feel
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:31
			the others?
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:33
			If you don't feel you can if you
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:35
			can do something, you can do it for
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:38
			the others. Otherwise, we're gonna be what?
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:41
			So what can we do? This is and
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:43
			again, I said this actually at the border
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:45
			after we passed. I looked at my colleagues
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:47
			and I said, I always
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:48
			felt
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:50
			being a physician
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:53
			is a profession gives you a lot.
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:56
			Yes, it's it's a humanity, you help people,
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:57
			but reality
		
00:12:58 --> 00:12:59
			gives you a lot.
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:02
			This is the only time where I'm so
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:04
			grateful I felt it at the border. I'm
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:06
			so grateful to Allah, I am a physician.
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:09
			Because without being physician, this is probably will
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:12
			be very difficult. And number 2, exactly.
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:14
			Why do you wanna do that? That's when
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:15
			you say,
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:18
			Being a physician is a humanitarian.
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:20
			You help people.
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:21
			And absolutely,
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:24
			that's what they told us, all of us.
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:26
			Even I didn't deliver a lot. I delivered
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:28
			only 2 people because the
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:31
			the drive from the hospital to the other
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:33
			hospital was not very safe. So they kept
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:35
			telling me not today, maybe tomorrow, maybe tomorrow.
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:39
			But everyone looked at me especially or everybody,
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:41
			actually. They said, the fact you are here,
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:43
			tell us that you care.
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:46
			I never thought that I
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:48
			am doing something
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:51
			big or I'm risking my life I just
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:52
			felt I have to do it.
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:55
			Each one of us who can
		
00:13:56 --> 00:13:58
			they should do it And you know what?
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:04
			Allah said that the death that you are
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:06
			running away from it is gonna
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:07
			meet you.
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:11
			Right? Even if you were in a really
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:12
			big fortress,
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:15
			death will come. So running, not going because
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:17
			I am gonna die, well, any minute we
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:18
			can die.
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:20
			It's gonna be tough.
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:22
			It was the toughest thing I've seen in
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:23
			my life.
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:24
			But we need
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:27
			it as a human to change, to feel,
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:30
			to grow, to mature. You have to see
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:30
			this.
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:32
			Honestly, I wish
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:33
			every
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:36
			teenager living in this country, again, this is
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:37
			a wish,
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:40
			I wish I can take them just to
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:41
			go and see.
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:44
			So you see what the reality of life
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:47
			is outside the bubble we are all living
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:49
			in, the bubble of comfort,
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:51
			the bubble of abundance,
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:54
			the bubble of may Allah forgive me, ungratefulness.
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:57
			You go there and you learn from them.
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:45
			I think let's talk a little bit about
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:47
			that that American Muslim bubble because I think
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:49
			you're uniquely positioned to talk about it as
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:50
			a Darya and also as a doctor.
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:55
			How do you, sort of, convey to a
		
00:15:55 --> 00:15:58
			young American Muslim that has such different concerns,
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:01
			whose priorities are so wildly different.
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:04
			How do you convey to them that what
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:06
			you're witnessing is a proof for you or
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:07
			against you in regards to your Deen?
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:09
			Two things,
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:11
			when I spoke to them,
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:13
			a good number of them and I spoke
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:14
			to almost every ages,
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:16
			some of them showed me picture of their
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:18
			life before October 7th.
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:20
			It is a big open prison,
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:22
			but they have
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:25
			adapted themselves to live some of them lived
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:28
			very comfortable in whatever is available.
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:30
			For example, they tell you on the weekend
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:32
			we go to the beach. It's a beautiful
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:33
			beach,
		
00:16:34 --> 00:16:36
			and we have this, we have that.
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:39
			What I will tell to every American teenager
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:42
			or everyone who's living in this, things can
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:44
			change in a minute.
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:46
			Allah changed things.
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:51
			And I always looked around and I said,
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:53
			this could happen to me. Yes, I live
		
00:16:53 --> 00:16:54
			in the States. Yes,
		
00:16:55 --> 00:16:58
			but Allah is capable of doing anything. So
		
00:16:58 --> 00:16:59
			the first thing I say,
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:03
			especially to the youth, don't think this is
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:05
			gonna be always like this. Allah can change
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:07
			it. That's number 1. Number 2,
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:09
			are you ready?
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:12
			This what striked me, Sheikh Omar,
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:14
			as if they were ready,
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:17
			as if they were ready. We were talking
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:18
			before we started.
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:21
			When you talk to the young people, you
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:21
			don't say,
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:24
			you don't say, do you know Quran? You
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:26
			don't say, have you read Quran?
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:28
			Are you half of
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:29
			the norm?
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:31
			And then they put their head down like
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:32
			that and said,
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:33
			10
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:36
			Aja. 10 Aja?
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:17
			Listen, and you're talking about
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:20
			15 or 14 or 13. Yeah. I met
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:22
			the imam, subhanAllah,
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:24
			who led us for Taraweeh and Tahajjud,
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:26
			Abdullah.
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:29
			23 year old.
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:32
			I didn't know the man, he's reading beautiful.
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:34
			You Allah,
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:36
			Taraweeh, we start 12:30,
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:39
			we finish at 3, sometimes 3:15.
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:41
			So the last day as he was greeting
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:43
			us I said Abdullah Masha'Allah
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:45
			you're half full.
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:07
			Bektura I'm not a half of
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:08
			and I'm an Ahlul Safwa.
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:12
			I'm from the selected
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:15
			And I said, What is that, You Abdullah?
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:18
			He said, We are the Ahl Safa,
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:19
			are those huffab
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:22
			who recite the whole Quran
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:23
			in one sitting.
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:27
			And he said, and I said how long
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:29
			this will take? And he said normally
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:31
			8 to 2.
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:34
			Me, about him, it took me to 4.
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:36
			I said why is that You Abdullah? Because
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:38
			I had some mistakes and they wanted me
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:39
			to review before.
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:41
			So
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:43
			this is how I felt.
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:47
			Nobody is ready for what I saw,
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:48
			but Allah
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:49
			literally
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:50
			daayukalifullahu
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:51
			nafsanillausa'a,
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:54
			you know the real meaning of it? If
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:56
			Allah tests you of something that means you
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:57
			can do it?
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:59
			I felt the people of Gaza, Allah have
		
00:19:59 --> 00:20:01
			prepared them for this test.
		
00:20:02 --> 00:20:03
			The 10 nights
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:06
			when I opened the door of the room
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:09
			we were in, it's a courtyard. Again, everybody
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:10
			was living there.
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:11
			Everyone
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:13
			was reading Quran
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:14
			or praying.
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:18
			Fajr, because we couldn't go to Masjid, so
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:20
			we're praying in our rooms. Fajr, in that
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:23
			small place, all these are displaced people, young
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:25
			and old, they were all doing Fajr and
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:27
			Jannah, nobody was sleeping.
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:29
			And Jannah, to the point we opened a
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:30
			little bit the door so we can join
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:32
			them. Everybody was reading Quran.
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:34
			That's what
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:37
			the youth needs to know here, that
		
00:20:38 --> 00:20:41
			there is way more than, please forgive me,
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:43
			ice cream or iPhone,
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:46
			which college I'm gonna go to.
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:48
			There is more in this life that we
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:51
			really need to be ready. Enjoy the blessings
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:51
			of Allah.
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:54
			Yes,
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:56
			but also don't make it the focus.
		
00:20:57 --> 00:20:58
			The
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:00
			youth of Gaza
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:02
			will not have anxiety
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:06
			because they are applying for college. Right.
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:09
			The youth of Gaza, their anxiety, and I
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:09
			honestly
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:12
			didn't see the anxiety we all talk about
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:14
			here. I met 4 girls,
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:16
			18,
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:17
			16,
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:18
			14, and 10.
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:22
			And these all 6 months are sitting home.
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:25
			There's no schools. And the 17 year old
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:27
			was applying to college to Jami al Islamiyah
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:29
			which was completely ruined.
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:32
			And nobody worried. Their mother was a little
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:33
			bit worried about the older one.
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:36
			Where is she gonna go for college? But
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:37
			there was no anxiety.
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:41
			It's something that's why I told you beyond.
		
00:21:41 --> 00:21:42
			They said, we have to give you a
		
00:21:42 --> 00:21:44
			gift. I said, no, thank you. What gift
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:46
			you will give me? No, sweetheart. Literally, these
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:47
			4 girls, they went.
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:50
			Their father is a physician, they lived very
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:52
			good life before, now they are living only
		
00:21:52 --> 00:21:53
			one room,
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:54
			they went and brought
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:56
			a chocolate box.
		
00:21:58 --> 00:21:58
			Subhanallah,
		
00:21:58 --> 00:22:00
			they opened, there's no chocolate.
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:03
			There were all these small beads different color,
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:05
			and they said, we're gonna make a bracelet
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:07
			for you. And how are you gonna make
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:07
			it?
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:09
			You know what? It's also creativity.
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:11
			Right. They had a rubber band,
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:15
			They chose it and they make it. Their
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:16
			brother, Muhammad,
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:19
			is 11 year old. So I was teasing
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:22
			him. I said, Yeah, Mohammed, come and help
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:22
			them.
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:25
			That's girl's job.
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:27
			Mohammed,
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:30
			just come and help. I know. But you
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:33
			see, they are making their life as normal
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:35
			as possible. Mhmm. They are not,
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:38
			I think they were the way they were
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:39
			raised before
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:40
			is on this. This is what I was
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:43
			telling you. They were not prepared for this,
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:45
			but the way they were raised up, that
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:46
			they have a bigger
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:47
			mission.
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:50
			I I I interviewed, I put it on
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:53
			social media. A woman was dis displaced from
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:54
			the North,
		
00:22:54 --> 00:22:57
			separated from her husband and son,
		
00:22:57 --> 00:22:59
			older son and the younger son was with
		
00:22:59 --> 00:23:02
			her, and she's and I said, how how
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:04
			did you do it? Walked 10 kilometers. She
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:07
			and her son in the night, in the
		
00:23:07 --> 00:23:10
			cold, with all the soldiers on the top.
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:13
			She said, I always grew up and I
		
00:23:13 --> 00:23:14
			taught my children
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:16
			that this life is temporary.
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:19
			I'm living for the akhir. Allahi, this is
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:21
			the word. If there is
		
00:23:21 --> 00:23:23
			a lesson that all of us have to
		
00:23:23 --> 00:23:24
			learn from Gaza,
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:26
			add to it all what we have been
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:29
			talking to is, this dunya is,
		
00:23:30 --> 00:23:31
			will change, tataqalab,
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:33
			nothing will stay,
		
00:23:33 --> 00:23:35
			get ready and be grateful.
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:39
			Be grateful to everything we have.
		
00:24:12 --> 00:24:14
			I wanna ask you, you know, last year
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:17
			or rather the year prior the earthquake happened,
		
00:24:17 --> 00:24:20
			Turkey, Syria, you went to the earthquake site.
		
00:24:21 --> 00:24:23
			I guess, walk me through what's the difference
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:25
			between being in a place where an earthquake
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:27
			has just struck and a place where there's
		
00:24:27 --> 00:24:28
			an active genocide.
		
00:24:29 --> 00:24:30
			What what are some experiences,
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:33
			similarities, differences that you found between the 2?
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:35
			SubhanAllah, you read my mind, shiqa,
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:38
			because that question came as I was walking.
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:40
			The earthquake,
		
00:24:40 --> 00:24:41
			the destruction
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:42
			was phenomenal.
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:46
			And when I again talked to people there,
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:47
			the
		
00:24:48 --> 00:24:50
			common word I said what happened at 4:23?
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:53
			They said we heard
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:56
			and we thought is the day of judgment
		
00:24:56 --> 00:24:57
			Almost everybody.
		
00:24:58 --> 00:24:59
			And then the shook
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:03
			walls fell and we run.
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:05
			The difference is the following,
		
00:25:07 --> 00:25:08
			this is Qadarullah,
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:12
			there's no injustice in here that you see
		
00:25:12 --> 00:25:12
			it.
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:14
			2,
		
00:25:15 --> 00:25:16
			the whole world
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:18
			stood with them,
		
00:25:18 --> 00:25:19
			right?
		
00:25:19 --> 00:25:21
			You turn on the TV people are talking
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:23
			about it, Every
		
00:25:23 --> 00:25:25
			person that can help helped.
		
00:25:26 --> 00:25:27
			There was no discrimination.
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:29
			No, in Turkey
		
00:25:29 --> 00:25:30
			was Qadrullah
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:32
			destruction,
		
00:25:32 --> 00:25:33
			they are living
		
00:25:34 --> 00:25:36
			in They were living in tents, I saw
		
00:25:36 --> 00:25:38
			it, but they were better than what I
		
00:25:38 --> 00:25:39
			saw.
		
00:25:39 --> 00:25:40
			Plus,
		
00:25:40 --> 00:25:43
			they had hope, they knew within a year
		
00:25:44 --> 00:25:46
			or a 2 lakhs they will build it,
		
00:25:46 --> 00:25:47
			they bring them back.
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:49
			Here, you're talking about
		
00:25:49 --> 00:25:50
			a systemic
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:52
			plan
		
00:25:53 --> 00:25:55
			to move people, to kill people,
		
00:25:55 --> 00:25:57
			and to move them out and you're not
		
00:25:57 --> 00:25:58
			gonna go back.
		
00:25:59 --> 00:26:00
			You tell me,
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:02
			why do you destroy all schools? I just
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:06
			got this morning from somebody from Gaza. The
		
00:26:06 --> 00:26:08
			ministry there released numbers.
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:11
			Why do you destroy hospitals?
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:14
			Why do you destroy schools?
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:18
			And probably when you will meet with the
		
00:26:18 --> 00:26:20
			other physicians, they will tell you, especially the
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:21
			surgeons,
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:22
			you know what they target?
		
00:26:23 --> 00:26:25
			If they don't wanna kill you or kill
		
00:26:25 --> 00:26:26
			me, they target your limbs.
		
00:26:27 --> 00:26:27
			Why?
		
00:26:28 --> 00:26:30
			I didn't see this in Turkey.
		
00:26:31 --> 00:26:33
			I saw misery, but that's Qadarullah.
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:35
			And everybody said, Qadarullah masha'afa.
		
00:26:36 --> 00:26:38
			But this is And it was one day.
		
00:26:39 --> 00:26:42
			This is not 6 months and none ending.
		
00:26:42 --> 00:26:44
			And everybody was saying, Move to the north.
		
00:26:44 --> 00:26:46
			Even that lady I was telling you about
		
00:26:46 --> 00:26:48
			who said, We live for the akhira. She
		
00:26:48 --> 00:26:50
			said, I said to the soldier I said,
		
00:26:50 --> 00:26:52
			really? You said this? I said, yeah. I
		
00:26:52 --> 00:26:53
			said, you told us we are we are
		
00:26:53 --> 00:26:56
			civilians. You told us move. We moved. She
		
00:26:56 --> 00:26:58
			said, 3 places in the north I moved.
		
00:26:59 --> 00:27:01
			Mhmm. And every time I move, they come
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:03
			after us. The way it is is very
		
00:27:03 --> 00:27:05
			different, and the future of it is very
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:06
			different.
		
00:27:07 --> 00:27:09
			I want you to, I mean if you
		
00:27:09 --> 00:27:10
			don't mind
		
00:27:12 --> 00:27:14
			dig as deep as you can
		
00:27:14 --> 00:27:16
			and the one story that you think will
		
00:27:16 --> 00:27:18
			live with you forever. If there's one person
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:21
			that you saw, like, just one person who
		
00:27:21 --> 00:27:23
			was like, this is the one that I
		
00:27:23 --> 00:27:25
			will never forget this person?
		
00:27:25 --> 00:27:26
			It's Mahmoud.
		
00:27:27 --> 00:27:28
			What is the story of Mahmoud?
		
00:27:30 --> 00:27:31
			Mahmoud,
		
00:27:31 --> 00:27:34
			his family lives about 5, 10 minutes from
		
00:27:34 --> 00:27:37
			the hospital. Now, the people in Gaza lives
		
00:27:37 --> 00:27:38
			usually in buildings,
		
00:27:38 --> 00:27:40
			and this building is usually for a family.
		
00:27:40 --> 00:27:42
			So you have one floor, let's say the
		
00:27:42 --> 00:27:43
			parents, then if
		
00:27:44 --> 00:27:46
			the daughter is married, or the son, or
		
00:27:46 --> 00:27:48
			the uncle, so it's usually family.
		
00:27:48 --> 00:27:50
			He said, I came to work
		
00:27:50 --> 00:27:51
			and he's volunteering
		
00:27:52 --> 00:27:55
			and then they start bringing people.
		
00:27:55 --> 00:27:56
			It was my house
		
00:27:57 --> 00:27:58
			which was completely bombed.
		
00:27:59 --> 00:28:00
			No one survived.
		
00:28:01 --> 00:28:03
			My father is in his forties,
		
00:28:03 --> 00:28:04
			mother 37,
		
00:28:05 --> 00:28:08
			18 year old. He's 18, 16,
		
00:28:08 --> 00:28:09
			I think was 104.
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:13
			And I said, and
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:15
			what are you doing right now?
		
00:28:15 --> 00:28:17
			He said, I've been living in this hospital
		
00:28:17 --> 00:28:20
			since that time, about 3 months now. He
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:22
			said, they gave us a mattress. What are
		
00:28:22 --> 00:28:24
			you eating? He said, whatever they give us
		
00:28:24 --> 00:28:25
			in the hospital.
		
00:28:26 --> 00:28:27
			What about bathroom and shower
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:30
			with the with the patients?
		
00:28:31 --> 00:28:33
			And the same clothes for 8 days.
		
00:29:32 --> 00:29:34
			That's an 18 year old full of life.
		
00:29:34 --> 00:29:36
			That could be any 18 year old here.
		
00:29:38 --> 00:29:39
			I understand.
		
00:29:40 --> 00:29:42
			And one young man,
		
00:29:42 --> 00:29:43
			Allah,
		
00:29:44 --> 00:29:45
			23 year old,
		
00:29:46 --> 00:29:48
			they said, Come and greet him because you
		
00:29:48 --> 00:29:51
			are the only physician who speaks Arabic in
		
00:29:51 --> 00:29:52
			that group. I said, Okay,
		
00:29:53 --> 00:29:55
			why do I see You Sheikh Omar?
		
00:29:57 --> 00:29:58
			Completely cut,
		
00:29:59 --> 00:30:01
			no legs, no legs up to the thigh,
		
00:30:01 --> 00:30:01
			nothing.
		
00:30:02 --> 00:30:03
			And this is gone.
		
00:30:04 --> 00:30:06
			So basically just this part,
		
00:30:06 --> 00:30:08
			of course clearly emaciated,
		
00:30:09 --> 00:30:11
			this is working and all the fluids and
		
00:30:11 --> 00:30:11
			everything.
		
00:30:12 --> 00:30:14
			I can't remember his name.
		
00:30:15 --> 00:30:16
			And You Allah
		
00:30:16 --> 00:30:18
			the smile on the face of this young
		
00:30:18 --> 00:30:19
			man.
		
00:30:20 --> 00:30:21
			Alhamdulillah,
		
00:30:22 --> 00:30:22
			Alhamdulillah.
		
00:30:24 --> 00:30:26
			Honestly, I did not hear, I couldn't
		
00:30:27 --> 00:30:29
			sit for more than 5 minutes because I
		
00:30:29 --> 00:30:30
			was like, You Allah,
		
00:30:30 --> 00:30:32
			You Allah, you know the Sahaba story we
		
00:30:32 --> 00:30:34
			hear about and we say, you know, Abdullah
		
00:30:34 --> 00:30:35
			ibn Arwaha,
		
00:30:35 --> 00:30:36
			and we say, Really?
		
00:30:38 --> 00:30:40
			These are these people. He's smiling, his wife
		
00:30:40 --> 00:30:42
			next to him, alhamdulillah,
		
00:30:42 --> 00:30:44
			alive, alhamdulillah, alhamdulillah.
		
00:30:49 --> 00:30:51
			The scene that will stay with me
		
00:30:51 --> 00:30:53
			is the scene of the hospital.
		
00:30:54 --> 00:30:56
			It is not a hospital, it's not a
		
00:30:56 --> 00:30:56
			market,
		
00:30:57 --> 00:30:58
			it's
		
00:30:59 --> 00:30:59
			chaos.
		
00:31:01 --> 00:31:01
			To move
		
00:31:02 --> 00:31:04
			in between you have to say, Assalamu Alaikum,
		
00:31:04 --> 00:31:07
			excuse me. Assalamu Alaikum, excuse me. And people
		
00:31:07 --> 00:31:08
			will move away
		
00:31:09 --> 00:31:11
			in every corner of that hospital.
		
00:31:12 --> 00:31:13
			I understand.
		
00:31:15 --> 00:31:16
			Grant them victory
		
00:31:17 --> 00:31:19
			and hope and patience and allow us to
		
00:31:19 --> 00:31:20
			be there with them.
		
00:31:21 --> 00:31:24
			Any take home message or last thing that
		
00:31:24 --> 00:31:25
			you want to share with the people? What
		
00:31:25 --> 00:31:26
			they told me,
		
00:31:27 --> 00:31:28
			because I asked them what do you want
		
00:31:28 --> 00:31:29
			from us?
		
00:31:30 --> 00:31:33
			And more than one person said, we don't
		
00:31:33 --> 00:31:33
			need anything.
		
00:31:34 --> 00:31:35
			They need a lot.
		
00:31:36 --> 00:31:38
			But there is a and they said, just
		
00:31:38 --> 00:31:38
			go back,
		
00:31:40 --> 00:31:41
			tell people about us,
		
00:31:42 --> 00:31:43
			don't forget us,
		
00:31:43 --> 00:31:44
			we are here,
		
00:31:44 --> 00:31:45
			we are living.
		
00:31:46 --> 00:31:48
			And when you come to visit us,
		
00:31:49 --> 00:31:51
			that had a lot of impact on us
		
00:31:52 --> 00:31:53
			because I kept saying, I didn't do what
		
00:31:53 --> 00:31:55
			she said. You not to me, us.
		
00:31:55 --> 00:31:57
			You all did a lot.
		
00:31:58 --> 00:31:59
			Go back
		
00:31:59 --> 00:32:02
			and speak about us and remind people about
		
00:32:02 --> 00:32:03
			a place called Gaza.
		
00:32:04 --> 00:32:06
			Assalamu alaikum Allah.
		
00:32:06 --> 00:32:08
			Allah Subhana Wa Ta'la give them victory, and
		
00:32:08 --> 00:32:09
			Allah Subhana Wa Ta'ala,
		
00:32:12 --> 00:32:13
			Gaza will be free and Palestine as a
		
00:32:13 --> 00:32:15
			whole will be free, and
		
00:32:16 --> 00:32:17
			we want to thank you once again for
		
00:32:17 --> 00:32:19
			going there on our behalf, and insha'Allah ta'ala
		
00:32:19 --> 00:32:21
			next time we'll get to be with you,
		
00:32:21 --> 00:32:21
			insha'Allah ta'ala.
		
00:32:23 --> 00:32:23
			One
		
00:32:24 --> 00:32:24
			day.
		
00:32:25 --> 00:32:27
			Nothing is impossible for Allah.
