			I tell people this especially in Umrah and
		
00:00:01 --> 00:00:02
			Hajj.
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:05
			And Dr. Haifa and Shaykh Abdullah, I know
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:07
			because we've all been there recently, this will
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:08
			resonate.
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:10
			You see someone who maybe is illiterate, who
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:12
			spent their life's earnings to get there.
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:15
			And yes, maybe they're seeing Maqam Ibrahim and
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:19
			they're, you know, losing themselves like, oh wow,
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:19
			Maqam Ibrahim.
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22
			And maybe they're trying to figure things out.
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:24
			Maybe they don't have the full step-by
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:26
			-step that you have on how to do
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:27
			Umrah properly and Hajj properly.
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:30
			Maybe there's a mistake here or there and
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:32
			maybe their manners are not as refined as
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:32
			yours.
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			You know, SubhanAllah, I actually wrote about this
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:36
			or I did a video about this one
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:36
			time.
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
			I remember seeing a lady terrified of the
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:39
			escalator in a Haram.
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:40
			She'd never been on an escalator before.
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:43
			That's how simple she was.
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45
			She's never been on an escalator before and
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:47
			she's terrified of it.
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:49
			Taking a step on the escalator and the
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:50
			guard is trying to explain to her the
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:51
			mechanics of an escalator.
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:53
			But some of these are the friends of
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:54
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:58
			And they're wanting to honor these symbols of
		
00:00:58 --> 00:00:59
			Allah and they're wanting to do things right.
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:02
			And that genuine outpouring, it doesn't mean that
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04
			ignorance is a good place for us to
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:04
			be in.
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:07
			But do you really put yourself on a
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:08
			level higher than them just because you had
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:11
			the full app technology and all the guide
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:12
			and everything given to you?
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:14
			There is a connection here between the way
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:16
			you feel when you see a masjid, enter
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:16
			the masjid.
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			How your heart has that outpouring and how
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:20
			you connect yourself to Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:20
			'ala.
