Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim Al hamdu lillah wa Salatu was Salam
ala Rasulillah. While he was happy woman what I welcome everybody to
the Safina society nothing but facts live stream on a hot
and sunny Tuesday in which we continue the European our readings
and recitations from the Shema it have a Timothy and we are calling
all listeners at today is the 19th of September. So if you're
listening to this, within the month of September, we need to hit
at least we should top off five kg of our omega for youth. Some
people wonder why he collected money for ometer for you, there
are Muslim families here that are, they would never be able to send
or cover most of the costs of almost a trip for their kids. They
can't afford to put their kids in an Islamic school.
Their kids go to public school, I have all these influences, and it
would make a huge difference for them. If their high school child
would be able to go on camera. And our job the goal of Ramona for
youth is to make this affordable, if not free, then at least
affordable. Alright, so last time, we've sent three kids to ombre at
no charge. Like we give them the whole ride. This time we're trying
to do something different. We want to give 25 kids a slash on their
ombre. So if you give $1,000 You're slashing that off from one
of the kids on Omen HaOmer Can you put in launched good.com/almira
number for youth? And we're right now
at 4923 bucks. So we only got like
what's the math here? Aren't you a math major? Or aren't you science
or tech guy? Or a math guy? I mean, sorry. So 2300 minus 23 Gets
you 7670 77 Sorry. $77 Short of slashing 1000 bucks from five ship
up to go to ombre. Alright, well I try to get 12 and 13 in terms of
boys and girls and eat almost even number 1212 And we'll get 12 and a
half guys and 12 and a half girls, how's that?
So
for every 1000 we can put it in there so that's idea
what's at launch good
ombre for youth? No, no h anomala for youth. There you go.
So that's a kid we are hand selecting the youth who need the
voucher essentially, right?
Where it's not the kids who are gonna, who can afford it who are
getting getting it because this area has a vast array of people,
right? And it's also not just this area, the youth can come from any
area connected. You know, we don't really advertise it, we just get
the word out through places like this. Right? The live stream
ArcView by the way, ArcView is doing amazing this semester.
Amazing. This term, Arabic 43 students we had.
Okay, we have in our program. Great for the first time.
Okay. All right. So now let's talk
poor old New England Patriots and our Bill Belichick cannot get a
break. They fell short again by an inch if they had made that
lateral. I don't know if you saw that lateral. That lateral at the
end of the game. Oh my gosh. So they're like Colossus, the final
drive to talk to really take the lead if they score touchdown. And
I think of fuel go with a tight day just no fuel going inside.
They need to touch them. A lateral pass to a lineman.
Right and he was inches short. And this guy I tell you I'm from the
first season from his rookie season. This Mack Jones he doesn't
just and does not have the clutch Enos he will always fall an inch
short a foot short. He lacks the clutch SNESs and that's what it's
frustrating to see this type of thing.
He just lacks the clutch and it's so that's our little sports
report. Today we got Shema today we got sound of Sierra and we got
q&a. What is sound of Sita?
Amazing, excellent program put forth for children by a brother
named Ibrahim said man
of New Jersey
and you're gonna see it. It's basically essentially for kids to
listen to the Sierra and it's almost like enacted basically
Of course, the they're not gonna have a voice for the profit slice
on them. But that would be a narrator but the other voices that
that shouldn't be a problem to have. We'll have that and we're
going to interview Abrahamson men and ask him for his methodology.
Okay.
All right, good to see norfork one here Jesus by Sofia Robbia
chocolate Wallah and Walt Clyde Frazier is also here. All right,
so let us now go in there and we will be in sha Allah to Allah at
least topping 5000 on the stream today so that we can slash money
from our from the kids who need the slashing of their Omega trip.
Okay.
Let's now turn to the Shemitah until our guests shows up.
And
we continue on the description of Sejal Cronyn that
he had well proportioned a well proportioned physique, ALLAH
SubhanA wa Tada has created human beings to appreciate certain
proportions there is nothing rational about it. There is
nothing functional about it is simply that human beings are
created to love certain proportions okay? If you see a
certain person with really long legs and a short torso,
right, it doesn't look right to you. Such a person you know what
they have to do to adjust themselves they got to wear their
shirt outside the pants. Other people they have really big torsos
and shorter legs.
And then other people yet they the head shape may be differently
proportioned. Okay. And and all this may lead to different
injuries.
And it may lead to different needs physical needs, okay, but the
prophets I send them was described as having perfect proportions.
Okay, and his chest was wide and strong. While his stomach was
always flat. He never had a what they call a punch or a belly
sticking out.
He had stout and strong skin and his his skin sorry limbs, and his
skin
was never dry.
Like you see someone with very dry skin. No, the profits skin was
always shiny. He always used oils on his skins and that made his
skin moist.
His hands however, were never rough. His hands were
always soft, despite always working with his hands.
Where did he have hair on his body? He had hair on his arms
on his arms, some small spider splattering on his shoulders.
Okay. And he had
hair, a little bit of splattering here on the upper part of his
chest but then he had a line of hair from his navel to his belly
button. Alright, the palms and soles of his feet were not thin.
They were fleshy.
Okay, some people would have very skinny hands like wizards right?
You know those scary hands like that very thin hands he did not
have that he had actually skin and some flesh on those hands. So that
when when they someone held his hand, it had a feeling of softness
to it. Yet
the hollows of his feet were deep set, which means that
some people are flat footed. Those are people are exempt from the
army and also may come with some health difficulties. Yet the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam had very high arches and
that's always better for for mobility to have high arches on
his feet.
Okay, the extremities were well formed and the hollows of his
soles were deep set, and even his feet and his heels they'd Sahaba
described the heels of the Prophet sallallahu sunnah, from the from
the nature of how it was created, and also that the Prophet would
oil his body all the time. His heels were thin and how did they
know? Or sorry, were smooth. When you see someone make wudu and when
you pray with people, you sometimes see cracks of dry skin
right in the feet. And a lot of people in the old world who have
to walk barefoot a lot.
The backs of their feet are extremely cracked
Okay, and so you can see that and what happens is that the water
doesn't even get in there, they have to rub the water in there.
And yet others you see that the heels are very smooth, so the
water just drips off of them. And that is how the prophets heals
were of course, you would see the heels of the people of your Imam
if you have an Imam, your and he always prays barefoot, you're
gonna see them naturally.
We have one more line and then we're gonna get to our guests. But
I have said men
who was doing
something, what I believe is a heroic effort in bringing the
Sierra in audio format, very creative audio format to the youth
and we're going to talk to him about his philosophy, his
motivation, the methodology by which he does it. And then we're
going to listen to a clip it's very important clip.
Again, he said that the prophets gate was brisk. The Prophet never
meander, you know, meandering is just walking slowly, just wasting
time that has in him a little bit either of arrogance or laziness.
It's not a good quality to have for anybody to, to be walking in
that manner. He always walked downward as opposed to heartily
with his nose in the air. When the Prophet walked, he never looked
around. He looked straight.
He never was just always looking. Oh, look at that house. Look at
that neck. I mean, look at that car, look at that. And then your
neck starts to hurt. Sometimes you walk you take a walk with some
people, oh, look at that house. Oh, look at that house. Look at
this car. Now that's that's not the way the prophets I send them
in terms of he would mind his business, it's not his business to
go look at people's homes. What happens if you accidentally look
in the window
and see something you're not supposed to see what happens if
accidentally the windows open.
The shades or blinds are open, and you see something you're not
supposed to see.
But when he was in the creation, he would look like mountains, the
sky, because that's the creation of Allah subhanaw taala. When he
was with the private property of humans or stores and stuff, he
would not be staring around at everything. Rather, he would just
walk straight to what his business was. But when he was amongst the
creation of Allah, the mountains and the sky, and the rivers, he
would look and he loved to hear the sound of flowing water.
He looked to the sky much yet.
But when he was walking in markets around homes, he always looked at
the ground.
And he was urged his Sahaba to proceed ahead of him.
However, whenever there was somebody that is worth greeting,
he was the first to greet them. He did not wait to the other person.
You ever walk somewhere and you see somebody but you don't know.
Should I send them him first or not? If I select him first, maybe
I come off as some kind of a loser.
They reveal that.
Not the prophets. I said always give Salam to the people first.
All right, our guest is here. Let's transition and welcome to
the Safina society nothing but facts live stream. Ibrahim said
man of New Jersey founder of sound of Sierra, which I am looking at
right now on
YouTube. I mean, I want you guys to stay here to listen to his
interview. But I want to be able to see the sound of Sierra on
YouTube so they can take a peek. It's it's a channel now he got
almost 1000 subscribers and you now have the first season out,
which consists of 11 chapters, each chapter
with
quite beautiful graphics.
Let's welcome over Ibrahim Sandman to our program is similar to that.
How are you? Abraham? Said I want to say hello, sir. How are you?
Hello. How are you doing Dr. Shetty? Very good. Very good. Very
good. I remember receiving a text message on this phone right here
about your YouTube
series. Each session here is but between 11 and 30 minutes long.
And I'm like I really want to help the brother but this thing is so
hard to get YouTube on it. It is a dumb it has the baby internet you
can call it but yeah.
And I think we did look at some of the texts at one point. Right. And
it was really good. Now tell us exactly what is the motivation
behind or firstly, what is the sounds of Sita before we play a
clip for everyone? Yeah, so Bismillah R. Rahman come to Los
Altos Hill carrying water animals. Fabio, do you mind? Um, the best
way I would describe myself when people ask me like, Who are you to
have started this project. I'm Sierra enthusiast.
So that's, you know, some people are crazy for Star Wars, some
people are crazy for Lord of the Rings. I'm a huge fan of the
theater, I think it's the greatest story ever told, I think from the
time that I was when I saw this lamb was born from the day he died
was the greatest moments in human history.
And subhanAllah the motivation behind the sounds of Sierra was
really, the feeling I got that the average most of them is perhaps
more emotionally connected to the Avengers than they are to the
terrible term. And it's it's very sad to say that there is a love
for the prophets of Allah cinema, it's very surface level. And most
of that may stem from a lack of knowledge of the syrup.
And hamdullah we're living in the golden age of lectures, everything
is available. But lectures, just don't do it for the Layperson. I
mean, when you have the youth, especially even young people,
you're competing with Hollywood, special effects, graphics, actors,
I mean, you know, what, what's a lecture to to that? So really,
when I took a step back and said, How do we make this accessible to
the average person? Really, the the weapon of the modern world is
media. But there's a big problem. And this is the problem that all
Muslims come to when it comes to portraying the life of the
prophets, Eliza them. If there are XYZ things that you just cannot
portray, you're left with very little. And when you take a bird's
eye view of the Sierra and say, Okay, what is absolutely off the
table? Well, obviously, you cannot portray the adolescent image of
the Prophet on a cyclops to them.
You can't show any of the Mothers of the Believers, you cannot show
any of the angels, you cannot perhaps portrayed the threatened
marriage. So what you're left with, and if you notice, if you
look at some of the popular Sierra movies and series is really shows
and movies about the enemies of the Prophet in which more than the
Prophet himself,
which, you know, you know, one of my favorites, you know, movies is
the message back, you know, from the 70s. And really, when you
watch it, the main character is able Sophia and probably Lavon,
which is, you know, it's interesting, but it's it takes
away from what the Sierra actually is. So I took a step back, and I
said, How can we do a portrayal that is accurate to the tradition
of the Muslims, and the Sierra has always been an oral tradition,
from the get go, you know, it's been written in books and stuff,
but at its core, Islam is always something you hear. So we took
that and we said, let's just update it for a 2023 audience. And
that's where you get the sound of spirits and audio drama of the
Prophet alayhi salatu salam and his companions, we employ voice
actors, sound effects, and the sheet artists and beings,
everything Hollywood has, we have minus the visuals, and it forces
you to imagine yourself there. But really, there's little left to the
imagination, and it doesn't take away or contradict from the
tradition of Islam, of being an oral tradition of listening and
hearing the storytelling of this era of our blessing Prophet alayhi
salam. So do you use narrators for the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa
salam, Abu Bakr, how do you how does that work? How did you make
this public question that we get is, you know, how do you portray
the profit on his wealth? So just like a regular, you know, chef
would say that the Prophet walked in and said this, you know, I
actually I'm the narrator in the series, so I narrate what the
prophets I said them does. So if you if I say, the prophesy said
and walked in, you will hear footsteps, but no voice is given
to him, I narrate that everyone besides him, you know, we have
voices for the Companions based on what we know from their, from
their personalities and their physical stature. We have sound
effects and ambience so that you know, whatever, if you're in a
desert, you're going to, it's going to sound like you're in a
desert. If you're inside a home, it's going to sound like you're in
a home. And really, when you have two people conversing with each
other, it's much easier to have that emotional connection with the
person because now it's not just a name in the abyss. It's a physical
person with a personality with a demeanor, the way I'm gonna rule,
the law on who speaks is not the same way that Abu Bakar only allow
one who speaks
the vocabulary of Abuja, for example, is going to be very crude
and rude as compared to someone like us. 890 And these are all
things that we tried to portray in the sound of zero. Very good, very
good. So you are the main narrator of the theater. Okay, good. And
tell me you have 11 chapters here. Yeah. It sounds like there's a lot
that goes into it. There are visuals I mean, there are the the
what you call it the ambience, the sound effects, the mood shifts,
and then the audio actors, the voice actors, or the voice actors
like you you brought in voice actors, or do you get your friends
to do it?
Oh, it's a combination of both. So this actually started as my COVID
project so when locked into a room for a couple of hours, the human
mind comes up with a genius idea sometimes. So it started off with
a team of one so Chapter One was created just with yours truly no
one else by the will of Allah subhanaw taala. And slowly as I
began to share it around, more and more people began to join so we do
have some amateur volunteer actors and mashallah I call them amateur
only because it's their day job mashallah they put their heart and
soul into portray, but we do hire now come to that professional
actors. We spend a lot of money making our own nasheeds so some of
these things are impressive. The artwork that you see for the
episodes, we have our own artists that do that as well. So in
hamdullah, the team is growing and I'm gonna we are officially
produced by Islam by touch. So my brother Ned did his group of who
produces Braille put ons for blind Muslims. He is the official
producer of this project because he finds that this is extremely
helpful for blind Muslims
who have no other way of media anyways. And now in Hamdulillah,
it's the series is on YouTube, but we're also on Spotify, Apple,
podcasts, Audible, Amazon, music, anything that makes noise, just
type in the sound of Sierra and you will find it beautiful. Okay,
are we ready to to
hear a section of it? Yeah, absolutely. So this is a section
from chapter 10 of the sound of Ciara elephant in the room. Go
ahead. All right. Bismillah.
You're Don't get any closer. I said, stop. Put that thing down. I
wish to speak to your master. Let him in Abdulmutallab and Abraham.
When he saw our father, he was impressed. Our father was
fearless, strong, eloquent. He felt humbled. He even got off of
his own throne. Please, have a seat next to me. No need for a
translator. I speak Arabic. Thank you.
Please ignore him. He was the last Arab that opposed.
You're the one they call Abu Talib? I am. I've heard many
things about you, sir. You're a man of honor and lineage. Tell me.
Why are you here? Have you come to negotiate? No, I have not. Then
what can I do for you? I have come for what is rightfully mine. And
what is that? Your soldiers stole some of my camels on their way to
wherever you are going. I want them back. What's yours is yours.
I apologize for this transgression. I've come to serve
Jesus Christ. Nothing else. You will get your comments back. Thank
you. Is that all? Yes, that is all.
I will be going now.
I must admit, I'm disappointed in you, Abdulmutallab. When I first
saw you, I had so much respect for you. You seemed honorable and
brave. Most men cower before me yet you came right into my tent.
I've come to destroy your most sacred temple, the most holy thing
in your religion and all you care about is your camels.
Well, I am the master of the camels and they are my
responsibility as for the holy sanctuary, our life is the master
that
and he will defend it if he so chooses.
Alright, so there was a clip very nice.
It seems really involved and it looks like the
even the image though is very nice, although you don't use
visuals but that picture that you chose and put put up together
there
was it's appealing it's very appealing for kids I think and
even for non kids. Anyone wants to listen to things and and I always
encourage to when people say Which car should I read? Or Which car
should I listen to? The answer is everyone you can get your hands on
because each one will have something different that the other
has or have a gap that the other doesn't have. Right so they all
together they fill each other up. You also will get to see what is
agreed upon for all of them and what may be something that was
different upon within them because you'll you'll see all the
differences so everybody could get this again at sound of Sierra you
go to sound
Out of Sierra, I see a lot of people already talking about it
and clicking on it.
The YouTube channel again is called simply sound of Sierra, you
go to the YouTube channel, and you could start listening and you're
and also like, it's not just on YouTube, it's on Spotify, it's on
SoundCloud, Apple podcasts, and
everything are happy to announce that season one is fully there. So
you can you know, binge listened to it, I guess, and hamdullah in
the month of probiota. Oh, well, and we're also happy to announce
that season two is coming. Inshallah this November, the first
chapter of season two is coming very soon bigger cast, bigger
budget, pounded that bigger, beautiful. So, you know, the
quality is only going to get better be very nice. How long do
you does it take you to make one episode?
So the very first episode I did take took me a year. So
now it takes me depending on how big the script is, and how many
actors are involved, it can take anywhere between a month to, you
know, a month and a half. Okay? And
do you drop the whole season or one at a time we do one at a time
season one didn't have a release schedule just because of the way
it kind of came together. But for season two in Hampton, we do have
a release schedule that we haven't announced yet. But we do have a
release scheduled to have consistent episodes coming out.
And it shot last season two is looking to be twice as long as
season one in terms of episodes. So we hope to keep people
engrossed and one thing that I always have to apologize for
because I've had a lot of listeners tell me why do you
always end every episode on a cliff hanger? My response to that
is how host am I going to want you to listen to the next episode.
That's how it has to be. That's how it has to be so how many
seasons you think the whole theater would take. We're
currently at shot love planning for about 10 Total seasons, okay
10 seasons if Allah Subhana Allah allows me to live to that time in
sha Allah or hopefully somebody will take the reins from me
halfway through and you know the with the help of Allah subhanaw
taala hopefully the time it takes to create each season will get
less and less and less without diminishing from the quality
because by the way, if for those that have listened to this before
know how much detail we go in. The sound of Zeno is not a lecture but
we it's a very deep character study into the Companions into the
different people. You know, typically when you learn to see
you know, it's really kind of, you know, Hinault, you know, Mecca,
Medina, bedded or hurt fantech Mecca, and you know, the major
events without you know, the intricacies of people's lives, I
mean, someone like Zubaydah, and that one will be left in a
footnote somewhere. We don't do that in the sound of Sierra, we
really start off like, you know, who is this person? Where's he at
this point of life? How does he interact with, you know, other
people, whether they're Muslim or not, whether they're enemies of
Allah subhanaw taala, we're companions. It's a very deep
character dive into these people and the kundala we have
code on a Asad Khan, who's our spiritual consultant on the team
who helps me with do some of the deep research that goes into these
blessing people and not so blessed people as well. Is there a select
book that you find the most useful?
Um, see what they've been Hashem is phenomenal. In my opinion, I
think it's, you know, obviously, there's a reason why it's, you
know, one of the first but definitely there's a lot of
different sources that I use revelation by Neeraj, America Dean
is also a great source as well. Even Kathy gives me data when you
hire, I mean, we take sources from everywhere, I mean, the data is
really a big jigsaw puzzle, and you have to like put the pieces
together to kind of create one, you know, cohesive story
sometimes. And sometimes, like you said, if there's a gap here, you
find it somewhere else. And if there's one place everyone agrees
on, you know, you try as much as you can to create something that
you know, an audience member who is used to watching you know, the
whole Marvel Cinematic Universe and knows that everything is
chronological and stuff, you know, we make it more malleable to them.
That's something that they can consume without, you know, having
to jump between this book and that book. And again, the sound of sila
is not a lecture as you saw from the sample. There's no
introductions to discuss film, there's no commentary by other
people. The sound of theater is not designed to replace those
lectures this is more of a supplement to get people more
connected on an emotional level and entertained by you know, the
the adventure that is the life of the prophet is
to be honest, at the end of the day, certain things about human
beings will always be the same. Good storytelling. Okay. There has
nothing Tompsett whether that be you could just have a black screen
and someone tells the story really well with the right ingredients.
That's what it is. There are ingredients to stories like your
you when you mentioned that you zoom into each person
Like Zubaydah Halawa, what's his story? There must there are
hardships in his life there are difficulties in his life that is a
human life, and is not just a character that has kills in the
Battle of bedridden abode and conduct. He's not just a number
that has kills. Yeah, this is a human being. And there are so
many,
you know, I would say gray area intricacies like his marriage,
then subsequent divorce to ismat been to me bucker. Right. It's
almost like that's, this is one of the things to me is a proof of the
truthfulness of the Sierra. There are no aside the prophets of Allah
when he was Saddam was the only flawless person in the Sierra,
every other Sahabi develops, or they have some conflicts, right.
Not in the matters of Deen. But in matters of life. Yeah, all right.
Our dear brother almost saw the coop plays the role of his aide to
Ben Hadith. I mean, every time we walk into a recording session, I
tell him what he's talking about. He said, Man, this character's
life is up and down. There's so many twists and turns, you know, I
said, Yeah, because these were real human beings. I mean, JK
Rowling sat down to write these characters. You know, it wouldn't
wouldn't be the same. But these were actual historical figures
that, you know, they had great times and they had football that
we'd like to mention, and there's also difficulties and trials and
tribulations in their lives. Yeah. And are all Emma. They wrote,
respectfully, exactly what happened, including mistakes. For
example, Osama bin Zayed, he has a terrible mistake that he made
right? Yeah, when he killed someone who said Leila Allah
Muhammad Rasul Allah and he's just trying to save your life. And then
he's sort of almost vindicated. At the end, the prophet re approves
of him, when he assigns him to lead an army at the age of 17. I
sent it out but there'll be a loved one who was you know, has no
battles he has no kills at all the exact opposite and he had a hand
in the slender of our mother Arias was one and then you know right
after that you have throw suicide send them saying you know, go and
you know, the goddess is with you, you know.
Amazing, amazing that. I don't know of any other hobby. The
prophets I send them explicitly says Rahel Coates says Gibreel Ali
Salam is helping him right. And this is the sahabi who had many
ups and downs. Right. And he was a makin hired to blaspheme the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and then ended up saying
which one of the most famous lines of poetry ever recited about the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam, he walks out of that
meeting, and on his way home, he sees the prophet and he CK stunned
by his, his physique, his image, he's an artist, artists care about
physiques and images, and looks, and he says, this lot, this
couplet, like, never seen anyone like you, it's as if you're born,
no woman has given birth to anyone like you. It's as if you're born,
you created the way you wanted, right? Like you did fashion to
your face, and your hair and your beard, and he becomes a Muslim on
the spot. So he has that amazing entry point, then rough times, and
then an amazing end result. Right? So each Sahabi you can almost go
on have an own episode, right? And that's why some people they they
asked me they say Why Why is Why do you plan the season to be this
long? And I'm just like, because I can't gloss over this. These are
amazing stories. And I encourage you, because I encourage you to
not think even twice about the end because I see some of these kids
on anime 400 episodes. Yeah. And if you tell them what happens in
you know, Episode 327 I was like, Oh, that was the fight between
this guy and that guy and he'll he'll detail it's you know, as if
he studied the secret of Goku or something. No, and I and one of
them told me that he he doesn't Raja of the anime series, and he
says that the authors are so clever that what you what you just
thought was a detail in episode one ends up becoming an important
part of episode like 315 was like more interesting because one of my
script editors, brother Boyle had that you know him very well he's
he goes through my scripts and he says, you know, you leave these
tiny little details in your scripts that you know somebody
who's more you know, read into the Sierra knows that this is going to
play out like 50 episodes from now so but the average person will
read it and will not won't think anything of it, you know. So for
example, we have in one of the early chapters, you know, we have
St 90 learning how to read and write, which is going to be
extremely important you know, all the way later into the province i
Sometimes life but it's
little detail that we add, and then beginning to show yeah, this
person was literate, which was not,
which was uncommon at mech at the time. Someone back in the time in
those times in Arab that knows how to read and write is almost like a
person today that knows how to code. Right? It's it's a very
useful tool, but not everyone has it. Right. And you know, your
friends who know how to code, right? So right reading and
writing was very similar to that, relative to today.
I wanted to say that
narration narrating
is still an amazing kind of storytelling, right? So even in
the cases where you don't portray someone's voice narration itself,
it can be amazing. And I want the here's one of the proofs that I
want to give. About 10 years ago, there was I had Nancy Dippy. I
think his name is Aditi. What's his last name? Adnan something. He
was charged with murder. I'd say it. So Ibrahim, are you familiar
with Adnan? SADES? Case? I've heard of it by I don't know the
details of it. I'd say it was accused of murder. And the
evidence was sort of flimsy but only pointed to him at some cases.
His lawyer was terrible, right? She was she really made a lot of
mistakes. Poor kid ends up in jail at the age of 17 with a life
sentence. And there was a a woman who made a podcast about him.
Right through serial, right. Yes, your pocket. There was very little
other than pure narration.
But the story was amazing. That's what the antagonist was the, the
antagonist was really bad. The, the result, the potential result
of what happened to him in his life where he was really, really
bad. And he became, I guess, you could say a likable kid. The way
she described him, right? Yeah. So all it was was narration with
audio, where there was no, not even him. It's just the name of
the podcast, right? And so I think sometimes that shows when they
start getting into the sensual, and a lot of visual, it's almost
it's what it's sensory overload. It's overload. And I think it's a
cop out for lack of story. Oh, yeah, there's no substance.
There's no substance. Like I remember a lot of flashy and but
there's no character development. There's no story. There's no
lesson there's nothing to take away. I mean, there's a reason why
Aesop's Fables are 20,000 years old and still told the kids these
exactly they're timeless stories they have a lesson that you learn
from their timeless and and there's the story is great. So
Masha, Allah, may Allah give you till FIP, Allah bless you. And we
know what we could do. Anytime that you're done with a season or
you want to promote something, come on. We'll share it with
everybody. So and we'll listen to clips and it will be a way for you
to you know, when JK Rowling whenever these people write a
book, what do they do? They go on the Late Show to tell everyone
about the book they go on a little tour they tell everyone about
their work, so how else are people going to know? So inshallah to
Allah you anytime you just ping us and you keep us updated on your
work because see it of the prophets I sent it like what else
are we doing here is trying to promote the dean, and anything
creative, any little edge that we can get with our kids to sit down
with them and listen for 10 minutes, 20 minutes to bring some
bucket in our homes and put some DNA in our kids hearts. That's our
goal. So just
continue on that and just look out for having me on that for our
viewers. Season one available right now the sounds of seeing on
YouTube, Spotify, Apple podcasts, Audible, whatever it is, keep an
eye on and show love for season two coming very very soon. Insha
Allah Wonderful, thank you so much. But
when it comes down to
dairy, there you have it everyone, the sound of Sierra, let's go over
there, take a look at it. And
I think we got to do this and not a lot of languages. There's Samuel
law here saying he's from Kashmir, the Indian side of Kashmir. So you
know, take some inspiration you put it in Kashmiri put it in order
to put it in Hindi, right do the same thing. It's the way that
Islam is going to proceed here. And every proceeds with us or
without us every generation is
a million little efforts. Alright, that fill in the gaps and become
something huge. So don't ever think Oh, it's a small little
effort I need to be but you don't need to be big at all. Okay. You
don't need to be big at all. You don't need to be just keep putting
out efforts and you never know your little 1%
is in addition to 10 other one percents like if you effect
somebody's a family a household 1%
That's amazing. Because you're not the only 1% There's another one
affecting the 1% and another one affecting them. 1% And if 20
People affect the 1% that's 20% that put that family over the top.
Right? And puts that person over the top. Alright, so
I think people really, really just absolute utter waste of time when
they watch anime, or that any show that you're watching that's
fiction that you devote that much time to it.
It should be just highlight in your brain delete, highlight the
whole file. No, don't click on the individuals the whole folder,
delete then go into the trash bin permanent delete. That stuff
should just be deleted. Awesome. And Hakeem has a hilarious
somebody saying here Sandman s
right he said he's got
we got to hear that. Hey, could you pull that up? You know the guy
has
it's one of those I can't watch an awesome fucking video except that
I have to laugh right? Not laughing at him. Right but
he's through his mannerism just distract me It says
I want to ask if watching anime like it's now narrow 207 on my
crew. Let's let's let's put let's put this on tell me when you're
ready.
Okay
all right. Let's take some comments and questions for now
until we we put on this
comedy session. Again I'm not laughing at him laughing you know
he's just is his style is just a comedic to me. And, of course, you
know, he's got his heavy leanings. But forget about that.
What's the shortest Salawat we can recite Allahumma salli wa salim
Ali, forwards Allahumma suddenly was salam ala forwards. There's a
hadith that says a parent cannot be put to death for killing his or
her child. So he Yes.
But it's
doesn't mean he doesn't have the sin of it.
Right? Does not mean he has a sin of it. But there's a conflict of
interest. Why because who is it that decides about the execution
of a person, the inheritors?
Who are the inheritors, the man's wife, demands daughters, the man's
son, grandparents all that the man's parents all that they are
the ones who decide.
So because of that conflict of interests, the city I will not
engage with that. But he's of course he has the sin of it.
Planet destroy you can put your questions here. Open q&a for now
until we get to
Abdulhadi says is it permissible to play noncontact sports, even
contact sports as long as the contract is not injurious. Like
tackle football. That's how that's to play as long as it's not
injurious. Football with headshots with the type of tackling that
produces concussions
now it's a different story
Lana says I joined late what are we talking about? Go up and go to
the sound of Sierra that's what we talked about today.
Sound of sera sera program for youth we ready to go. Alright,
let's hear what awesome Hakeem says about
Riley says I want to ask if watching anime like Naruto is
halal or macro.
What is Naruto? Naruto or the Maquis Naruto is an anime
cartoons, Japanese cartoons that
came like 20 plus years ago. And they started in series. And it
talks about the community of the ninja and how there was a demon
known as the nine tailed fox, who was spreading corruption and chaos
in the place until one of their masters managed to capture it and
put it and imprison it in his newborn child. It talks about the
life of you watch the child and how things are happening, et
cetera, blah, blah, blah. How does he know all this information? Now?
Lots of the people said that
At this is an innocent thing.
But even the disbelievers raised red flags, because this had many
issues to them as disbelievers let alone to us as Muslims. Among
these things, for example, that there are subtle hints of
sexuality in it. So this Naruto had a crush on his teacher.
How is this possible? Again, LGBT, is he a transgender. In one of the
episodes, he comes in the form of a woman wearing bikini trying to
seduce his sensei or teacher
along with other men who act like women, though they are men. So
this is promoting transgenders promoting homosexuality from a
hidden angle.
As Muslims, we are very careful to what we see, because we
acknowledge that such
influence of the media is very dire and dangerous, especially on
our children. And this is why even the most innocent of all cartoons
may have such embedded messages, not necessarily directed to the
Muslims. They don't care. They just want to spread evil and to
raise our children on what they want them to believe. Even Tom and
Jerry,
you will find such hence Tom and Jerry are out cancel when the
mouse wears a bikini and dance the Hawaiian way of dancing and price
to seduce others.
seems innocent, but it is not. Our children when they're three or
four years of age, watching this, this has a negative impact as they
grow. So for us Muslims, we have to be very protective.
From watching such filth that doesn't get us closer to Allah.
But share it's fun. Yeah, I know it's fun. It can easily consume
five or six hours of your day. Because you're addicted to it. And
the bad part is, even if you spent six hours a day and you've had
enough, you turn it off hours what happens? The moment you see your
mom or dad or someone close to you.
I'm bored. You've just spent six hours watching something you like
Yeah, but still I'm bored. Because this is an addiction. It doesn't
fulfill the vacuum in your heart. And this is why we need to address
this issue with Islamic alternative with sports clubs,
with places where kids can hang out safely and learn good things
with righteous practicing Muslims and Allah azza wa jal knows best.
So there you have it. You asked about Naruto? Well, now gates Tom
and Jerry is out too. But you know what my favorite one grown up was?
My favorite one of all grown up was the coyote and the roadrunner.
Coyote and the roadrunner was my favorite. Why? Because like that
whole New Mexico vibe.
Relaxing, fun. I mean, like peaceful. It was a really peaceful
vibe there.
It's an addiction. I don't understand how many parents allow
kids to watch for five and six hours What's wrong with you? Not
even this stuff is trash. Right? For five hours
of of watching TV, and then you wonder why you're not successful.
You getting smashed by the Hindu kids in school?
The Chinese kids are absolutely trouncing you because they're not
doing this stuff. They're doing math equations while you're
watching this nonsense. That's why That's old. By the way, the new
generation are as rotten as everyone else. But
yeah, I'm not I despise this type of stuff. No, I'm not a fan of
this stuff. If my kids want to have fun, they're going to play
sports. Go play a sport. Like a comeback tired, come back, sweaty.
Come back learning how to win and lose. And by the way, I'm an
assistant soccer coach.
And last time we played Notre Dame
Notre Dame has a school here, you know, the famous Notre Dame
Fighting Irish, they have a school. That was, that was a tough
game. So we dropped that one because that was a really good
opponent. But then we played the next one, we played Edison, you
know, tech,
like Edison tech. And our team had a good game on that one and
totally smashed them. But that team was miskeen. Like, they were
not coached at all, there was no talking from the other bench. No
talking from the other coach. Right. And our kids are just
having a blast, right? Winning, but I felt felt like they won so
handily that they didn't have to play soccer halfway through the
game, they're just like kicking the ball around and scoring
wherever they want it to, is one of the bad parts about succeeding
so thoroughly is that you actually end up not having not being
required,
you know, to study
to play smart, and to play discipline soccer. So that's the
negative part of that. Okay.
How do you manage screen time when they're young? Well, it's.
For first of all, there is a difference between small screens,
medium sized screens and big screens. The smaller the screen,
I've been told, the worse it is, for the for the eyes and the
brain. So much so that a local psychiatrist
preaches that the small mobile phone screen is like poison to a
child's brain. TV is bad, but it's not poison. Yep. So that's the
first thing because you have to hone in so much. And so
apparently, there is a difference between the smaller screens and
the bigger screens. Eventually, we got to the point that we only let
them watch a couple movies on Saturday, like one movie or two or
something like that, why, because also being totally out of the loop
is also a problem. Total deprivation of something is also
so a problem. Because
because you're still living in a society, and you don't want to
walk outside and all your friends are talking about something, you
have no clue what they're talking about, that it sort of builds up
after a while. And so you don't want to go that route either. So
you got to find in the middle there. So the bigger the screen,
the safer it is for kids and youth, children especially. So
that's one thing to focus on. And if they have siblings, then they
busy themselves with each other. Right? And have, you know, toys or
whatever, then that and then it's far better to do that than to be
on the screen. Most parents open up the TV or give him iPad because
the parent is lazy. No offense to you. Because I know many of my
friends do this. But that's my opinion. You are lazy. The kids
crying just shut him up. No, that's not the way to do things.
The easy way out is always bad. Right? The easy way out. It's just
never right. So
no, I liked them. They liked me. But I just think they're lazy. You
just Oh, as soon as the kid crying, give them the phone, given
the iPad Shut up. It's a very dangerous technique of raising
kids. And those kids that don't turn out right in many ways. Their
eyes are no good. Their necks are no good. Their social habits are
no good. Their ability to read books are no good. And I seen kids
being walked on a buggy or a stroller with an iPad.
But they're not looking around. Right? They're not looking Oh, is
a squirrel? There's a chipmunk, right? They're not looking around.
This is not good at all. My personal opinion? And we'll see
we'll see the results. All right. Well, here's the question, what
happens if there is a sport and there's a girl on the other sport
on the other team or near a boy? So you avoid trying to touch them?
I mean, we can't like what are you going to do? You're going to say?
You don't necessarily are obligated? Okay, let's forfeit the
whole game. But just don't play such tough defense on her have
someone else played the defense on her? Right? I mean, what else
you're gonna do? Your team takes the field and their other team has
a girl on the field.
Okay, how's that for the answer? What's your going to do?
All right.
I don't think children need to have an iPad and a smartphone.
It's not good for the brain. And also, you got to look at the long
picture here. The most successful kids are the kids whose mind is
working most of the time. Okay.
They're gaining some kind of useful knowledge. They're having
some kind of good sleep habits, right? In the long term. Those are
the successful people in the world in the long term, that people good
sleep habits, good reading habits, good stuff.
The Habits not a kid you know some kid that had no upbringing know to
be at like Steve Jobs someone left in the wild that's Don't do your
kids know Steve Jobs though. That's not an example that's the
exception that is not the rule that's the exception he was
somebody Steve Jobs was someone who's left wild he's literally a
wild human being no to be a whatsoever Okay, he's the
exception he's not the norm. So you don't make you don't take
inspiration from the exceptions the successful people tend to be
those with solid habits Okay, and spending all this time on games
and on TV and on alright beat be go be with the failures in the
losers of life okay if that's what you want to do
all right.
What are the end times for the evening and morning of God? The
morning I've got our from Fetchit until right before around before
though to that's the morning and the evening with God is from after
you pray awesome. all the way till you go to sleep? How do you deal
with
sports that have to cover your outer?
Well,
if the sport if the outdoor we're talking about is just a little bit
area above the the knee, you can just not look at them. If it's
we're talking like beach volleyball, obviously, you're not
going to be involved with that in any capacity. Okay.
When Cain and Abel gave sacrifices in the form of harvested food, or
meat it was taken up by Allah and what is the meaning and
significance of this? So
it's narrated that each one put their sacrifices in a certain
location in the same location. They wake up the next day if they
find the one that was burned, consumed.
That's the one that was accepted. Why is that because there were no
poor people at the time.
So they could not give sadaqa to others. So the nature of sadaqa
at the time, was that you put your food on like an altar your charity
on the altar next day. If you found that it's an ashes it was
burned and it's ashes that means Allah accepted it. That was how
you gave charity in those times. Because there were no poor people.
Very early on, as soon as there became poor people, then you give
suck up in general to the phone call up. Mr. Dirt. pingtan says
How does someone that grew up without a method find or choose a
method by reading biographies and methodologies of the Imams
and asking yourself who was most worthy of being followed? Okay?
How strictly do you follow when you stick with it until it becomes
a hardship in a matter that's a hardship or that doesn't answer a
question, then you can go to another method for that. Okay.
Do you don't go to the opinions and pick a method by what their
opinions are. You pick them by the methodology and the biography of
the Imam and who you most admire and believe that his methodology
is right.
Okay, Taalib Gokcen
okay, we answered that question about the outta What time do we
have a motion on Friday 730 We start inshallah Tada after oh my
god, basically.
It's 730. But it'll probably you know, be the entry time. Maybe
we'll read the UScar and then we'll probably get really be going
at eight o'clock. Follow us a like to stream subscribe to it and be a
supporter at patreon.com/safina Society and help youth go for

up let's say a lot of kids in it I'll pay full and we give more
discount money to certain specific youth. Okay.
Why did ematic have a dispute with him in his sock? I think I don't
know. I have to look that up. I know about that. But I don't know
is unwelcome the reliable with respect to Sierra primary sources?
No, he has some things that are there that are not
that are not acceptable. Like he is the narrator of
For The Satanic Verses, that shaytaan trick the Prophet slice
elements that thinking that certain verses were part of suits
and najem that we're not. We're in a one lull Veronica Lola, we're in
a Shiva to Hoonah la tortilla
that the idols are like heavenly birds, and their sofa is
desirable.
That's false. That never happens.
That's a false story. In fact, sudut and najem. In itself, it
begins with that the Prophet never makes a mistake and presentation
when Nigeria the MAL Baldassarre, Ibaka mama Whoa, why am I on
taekwondo. The lie itself is inserted to nudge, the false and
fabricated story that IBLEES whispered these verses to the
prophet and he then recited them in SUTA to najem. And all of Quran
is celebrated, that the dispute is over, we can keep the idols and
worship Allah and the idols are good, Allah has approved the
idols, okay. That story in itself is a lie. sudut and najem the
opening verses themselves negate any such possibility by saying
when Najmi the Hawa
by the revelation when it comes down and najem here, meaning the
revelation when it comes down, verily your companion never went
astray, nor made a mistake in the Revelation, and he does not speak
except through inspiration. So there is never a mistake about the
revelation from the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam, the
story itself is negated in certain niche.
Okay, so it's as if it was not as if it is Allah knows what, when
and how people will make things up about the Prophet salallahu Salam,
he negates it in the beginning of the Quran, the SUTA
Okay, how about a question from the hawk night, the fallen angels
is our head roots and Marut Fallen Angels again, it this is from the
bene of Surah Eid who have constant non stop
methods and manners and ways of
managing to distort the truth and dis dishonor angels and prophets
had roots and my roots were angels sent down to the earth in the form
of men to teach human beings What sorcery is all about. Because
human beings, the sorcerers were very strong, and they were
confusing the dark power with the power of light, prophetic power of
angels and Revelation with the dark powers of black magic. So how
roots roots came to demystify it to people. What black magic
actually is black magic is nothing other than tapping into the world
of the jinn to harm other human beings. That's how simple it is.
That's how simple it is. Okay, why do we call it magic because we
can't really see it. We don't know that law. The Djinn ABIDE and live
on this earth on a whole different set of physical laws. Their
physics is different from our physics. The fools are the
materialists are the ones who imagine that physics is one
physics for the whole universe. Know, the physics that we live in
here like gravity, you need food, you need to do these things to do
to achieve results. That's only our physics. That is not the
physics of the jinn, that is not the physics of the afterlife. It's
just our temporary physics. Okay, so when it's people who are able
to tap into the dark side of the other spirit, a creature that
lives along with us on this Earth called the jinn
and get those jinn to harm other human beings.
That's what black magic is and how roots and Marut were noble Angels
that came down to teach human beings. That that's what black
magic is because if you know what it is the mystification of it is
gone from you. Once you know the trick, you're no longer amazed.
That's the purpose of how to attend motoroads.
Abdulhadi says one of my professors says the prophets of
Allah who peace be upon him after mentioning the prophets of Allah
when he was salam. Will he get worldly benefits from it? Yes, he
will. And he may even get from that. Some if he does not enter
Islam. Such people who honor the prophets of Allah when he was
settling may have a decrease in a lightening of their punishment,
the proof of which is the prophets. I seldom said that about
Abu Lahab
what was the good deed that I would have did merely he was happy
that the Prophet was born. That's it. He was happy that the prophets
I said of them was born.
And as a result of that, he will be given a small bit of water to
drink in the Hellfire every Monday. So that is the fair
compensation. Allah compensates every good deed. Okay,
compensation is different from rewarding
What's the difference?
Compensation does not come with love. Reward comes with love.
All right. All right. Yeah, yeah. Booze says is it better to pray a
one long to hedge it or multiple short ones? It's better to start
off with two very short rockets. That's how the Prophet said to do
it, then long, even if the whole two records takes 20 minutes
okay
all right, let's go to the next question.
Okay, we saw Cain and Abel, Mr. Pilkington, or what? When does the
Molad end on Friday?
Probably 10.
Probably 10.
Okay, we talked about what to do. Let's go to the next question.
Where can I take Islamic classes online Sandman s
go to art view dot O R G folks go to ArcView dot o RG.
The whole function of this podcast is that we try to introduce people
to
you know the fundamentals
of Edison in this livestream.
But then the whole point of it is to navigate and to point people to
start taking actual courses and the way in which you take actual
courses online. If it's online, it's online. But there are ways in
which you can improve
your benefit.
You have to eliminate distractions, distractions, you
have to set a time you have to set a location, you have to eliminate
disruptive distractions and take your online course if it's live.
Okay, with a notebook and a pen in your hands and not touching the
computer, you cannot take an online class with the computer in
front of you, your your mind now has to discipline itself from not
going to other tabs. So when you take a class on the computer, or
on the phone, keep whatever the device is far from you.
Then take the book that you're going to study from, like make it
such that if you want to type something on the device that you
would actually physically have to get up and take three, four steps.
Put the volume up, put the device far away from you take three four
steps back, okay, be in a location that people can't bother you, or
disturb won't distract you. And then have the book that you're
studying from and take notes there. Write in the book, like
follow along what the teacher said, or
take a notebook and write stuff down, have a pen and paper and be
physically three, four steps away from the device that you're
studying from.
And if it's a pre recorded class that you're listening to, then now
it's open ended as to when you're going to take the class, assign
yourself a time and assign yourself a limit. So I'm going to
take this pre recorded class for 15 minutes
after fetcher, every day.
Set a timer 15 minutes when the class is done screenshot where you
left off. So that you know exactly I left off on lesson five minute
12.
And again, put the device far away from you. And then write your
notes down.
That's how to study online. So go to ArcView dot orgy and start
taking the classes how do you begin taking these classes? If
you're a beginner, start with optina then Tajweed
then
what's our special program for Adobe? And I would well, every day
we read a little bit. Well, I wanted to read a lot more today,
but we didn't do q&a yesterday. So we're doing a longer q&a today.
But we were reading from
the summit. And that's what we'll continue reading from
our mannequin Achmed. Muhaddith own Yes, they are. They're fuqaha
and Muhaddith. Own
a chef he is not considered a Muhaddith he's a fucky. And and
also Lee he is the first or Saudi will surely is one concerned with
the method of deriving the law. Of course, every scholar had a
method, but he's the one who codified it and said no, we can't
just have a method and then talk about the results. We need to talk
more about the method then the results. That is the contribution
of Imam Shafi.
Simply saw it has says
how can we manage academia
When our son is full time in HIV school
do you mean by that? Your son's academics?
In which case, he's got to be full time in HIV school for what, two
years before he finishes, he should finish in two years, right?
If he's full time, so he'll, if you in two years finished one year
of school, okay. Then in the next two years, you take summer
classes, by three years, he'll be caught up. That's how you do it.
That's how you do it. And he's going to be different from his
peers, he's gonna be a hard worker have memorized the Quran, and then
he'll be at the same level as them.
If I understood the question, can we stream
our program on Friday?
Problem is that we can try but the thing is, there's so many people
in the building, the acoustics are not good. The Wi Fi slows down
because there's 500 people using it.
But we could try
what a medic is pray with their hands down. That's what they The
question is, why do the other method is pray with their arms
folded? Because the default is praying with the hands down the
Prophet and said, fold your hands.
Okay, now what is the proof that the prophet that the default was
praying with the hands down? Because that is the natural
standing position? You tell someone to stand up when they just
stand up? No one's going to fold their hands right? The default is
to pray with your hands down. So their question is and why do
people Why do other methods fold their hands not the other way
around?
So the prophesy set him said Fold your hands and Salah now the
question is how did the Sahaba understand that what was the
purpose?
The Medic is understand that the the what the prophet meant by that
was when you praying by yourself a long prayer.
nephila and your hands get numb and tired. Instead of doing this
with your hands and fidgeting, then you may hold your hands.
That's how the magic is understood it so they understand it as a
permissible rasa. Rasa an allowance to do something
for extra prayers, extra long prayers. That's how the magic is
unjust. So we have cups, we also fold our hands in a different time
and place the other month have said no, there's no difference.
It's also no or not even sunnah. For Lila, the levels are
obligations Sunon and light, lightly recommended things. So
that is a lightly recommended thing in the Shafi somebody in
Hanafi. School. Okay, so the question has to be set correctly.
It's not why automatic is great with the hands down. That is not
the default to stand tall anyone standing right in front of me.
They're gonna stand with their hands down. Right? So the real
question is, why would you fold your hands while we fold their
hands because the Prophet said fold their hands. Okay. Now the
question is what did the for when? And for What did the Prophet mean
to fold their hands he meant Fold your hands. According to the
Maliki's is when you are praying a Nephilim and your hands get numb
and that narration I put it in Safina society.org/seven as a DL
Okay.
I should we should stop discussing said that and we should discuss
pubs. So we have clubs Club does clasping the hands in the prayer.
We have it in the medical school
as a permitted action in long nephila prayers
and it's discouraged in
the obligatory prayer. So that's it.
Next question, would you recommend not reading sere material that
contain content from welcome buddy?
Not for the beginner. No, the beginner should not read from what
he
did even Taymiyah believe in The Satanic Verses. I do not know. But
I do know that I wouldn't be surprised because there were some
Sunnis who did adopt and said yes it it did happen. But the majority
opinion is that no didn't happen
was it true that the MADI Kia in Egypt physically it's tact? Imam
Shafi?
I believe there is some something like that, but I didn't see the
exact narration.
Is it sufficient for one to recite part of Delilah Hyatts and
considered that Salawat for the day? Listen, Hamza Assad is asking
this question. You ask yourself on my busiest day, how much time can
I devote to Salah on the prophets lesson?
Let's say
The honest truth. 10 minutes on my busiest day, 10 minutes, okay,
stick to 10 minutes, don't leave 10 minutes no more.
If you have extra time in the day, even after 10 minutes at least
stop, stop, you've finished your time for the day. If you want to
do more, you could do more but
every 10 minutes you stop. So that 10 minutes, you got to choose
where you're going to recite them what time you're going, don't
leave 10 minutes open ended flying around? No. Where are you going to
do your silhouettes? What time are you going to do your squats should
not be open ended, nothing
successful is open ended. Nothing that gets done is open ended.
Imagine your job says hey, listen, I need you to to program this,
that this, that and the other? We need it. That's your job. We're
gonna give you $50,000 a year to write us these programs. Okay,
when when do they do when? When do I show up for work? Whenever you
want, what is it do whatever you want.
Imagine he gives that they give that to 100 people, the company is
not going to run like that, there needs to be a time that you work,
we need to check in no you're working at this time. If not that
Then at least by this time, the project's got to be done. So but
the best advice, if you really truly want to get something done
in your life, you need to set a reasonable time limit, you need to
set the location in which you're going to do it. And you need to
set the time in which you're going to do it.
The location should not be a location that can be distracting.
The time cannot be a time that has skipped common regular scheduling
conflicts.
The time should not be time in which you can possibly be
exhausted, can't say what Well, when I come home from work.
You can't do anything useful when you come home from work. Asked me
pets, I can't do anything useful when I come home, I come home at
8pm does nothing useful is ever going to happen after it at that
time, especially if you started your day early.
Right.
So people fail in doing things by themselves all the time. Because
they don't spend set specific times locations and time limits
to their actions.
They leave it open ended. That's why I know people who are who are
of the highest level in the medical field or the highest level
in the IT field, or the highest level in the legal profession. But
when it comes to just studying a basic, something basic online,
they're absolute failures. Why are they stupid? No. Do they not want
it? No. But because they got to the height of their profession
because they went to a school that told him you show up at this time
and surrounded them with other people who are doing the same
thing. So they had the companionship. They had a system
that had a structure.
If you have a structure and you don't have motivation, like you
don't have desire, but you have structure
and another person has motivation, desire but no structure, who do
you think is going to succeed?
You think people who go to nursing school for example, sick nursing
school as an example. Are they pumped up to go to nursing school?
I don't think anybody is Is there anyone pumped up? Oh, let's learn
today how to take a syringe of blood. Let's learn today the
effects of Tylenol let's learn today how to take a blip who cares
about this stuff? It's not exciting. There's nothing exciting
about it. There is zero exciting about the hospital its patients
are miserable. Patients are disgusting. People aren't
discussing but as patients they're disgusting, right vomiting all
over the place sweating looking terrible moaning being miserable
looking terrible. It's disgusting. There's nothing exciting about it
yet they all succeed why structure structure
in contrast, working out oftentimes there's a lot of fun to
put the TV on get on the treadmill put my athletic clothes on look
great afterwards feel great afterwards. But people fail at it.
Why? Because they leave it open ended no structure. They don't say
okay, I'm going to run 50 minutes from at this hour right when I
wake up and then I'm going to go take my shower have my coffee go
to work like structure
far more important, then enjoying yourself and far more important
than then feeling motivated.
Oh mama, the granddaughter of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
salam.
Let's look up and give a educated answer about the story of Oh mama,
the granddaughter of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam
insha Allah Tala. We should look that up and say something useful
about her.
What's the ruling on intermixing
in a wedding ceremony, says Jack and Jill
the mingling
that can allow people to stare at one another in what is haram is
mcru. And it could be haram, the mingling in that allows people to
smell each other's perfume
that is too close. And that is, again, discouraged, but it could
be haram.
Depending on the degree, of course,
the mingling that would cause bodies to touch each other.
That's absolutely forbidden.
Like to close, that's absolutely forbidden. And the mingling that
is between that, let's say, and
the separation, a distance that would not allow you to be able to
look at someone's face, see someone's physique, smell their
perfume, chit chat with them. That's a separation that is
desirable. So those are the two extremes and everything in
between. We'll go from mcru to haram depending on its degree.
And what you do obviously would be
haram okay, if you do it if so, if one of us does that type of
mingling staring chit chat for no reason cetera Okay, those weddings
you go in there and no it was soon as it gets like that. Then you get
up and you go outside you go for the look for the prayer hall,
right. talk on the phone outside. Go chit chat with your friends
outside. Okay.
The hadith about the happiness of Abu Lahab on the birth of the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is yet another proof of the
permissibility of the millet. How is there even a discussion on
precedent emoted when celebrating things as Helen and Islam? Are we
going to disagree with that?
Listen, we got kindergarten kids, the kid literally just learn how
to walk or say the ABCs and urinate properly in the toilet. We
do a party for the kids.
Pre K moving up ceremony and the parents calm and there's cookies
and they sing a song and Bubba. That's Khaled right? Pre K moving
up ceremony.
Celebrating things in general is halal. No one will ever know fucky
no madhhab can ever deny that celebrating stuff is the question
being what is being celebrated and how it's being celebrated? That
will make it halal mandoo mcru Haram, celebrating that we opened
a liquor store haram celebrating that I opened a restaurant how
that restaurant Hallett now how am I celebrating the Hillel
restaurant with mingling and dancing and music. The celebration
is highlighted the method is Haram
has sinful things and
celebrating a halal restaurant by a nice party to give sadaqa to
poor people to bring in the notables of the community and to
do what is good and how that then Hallett.
Celebrating things is not even up for discussion. So is there a part
of a greater celebration than the achievement? The gifts Allah gave
us? A being from the OMA Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and
celebrating that the prophets of Allah what He was selling was our
Prophet. There cannot possibly be a greater thing to celebrate
because we wouldn't even have Shetty a to discuss without the
Prophet peace be upon. He's the sub that Allah chose.
Okay to bring us this religion. I do tech lead of the Maliki method
says planet destroyer. I heard that there's a second Massoud that
removing covet before Salah is sunnah.
Can this be ruling be kept in mind as a way of avoiding hardship and
the answer is yes. Let's say someone's mess with medical
methods only method that has to mature opinions about removing
cover the dresser from your close skin or place of prayer. And they
say that it's just one what's their proof? They say that Naja
was poured on the back of the Prophet salAllahu alayhi wasallam
while praying and he continued his solo. So the end result is that it
is an obligation. madhavikutty will Quadra it is an obligation
only insofar as you can do it and you remember to do it.
If you forgot to do it, or you're unable to do it,
you're good to go. Who is unable to remove an adjuster like a
butcher, a surgeon or molest was someone was was someone who shaped
on his tricking, tricking and keeps tricking him. Okay. And
whispering whispering whispering making him really doubt himself
that is from shades on notice Wiswell as it comes in Salah in
Tahara. Why so that shaytaan wants to make taharah and Salah so heavy
on you so burdensome that you just want to leave it all off.
Okay, that you never pray again, because I just don't know if I
have too hot or not. So the Midwest was praised as is. He does
he ignores those with Swiss.
There are a lot of questions when it comes to into Jessa that are
not covered in basic fic lessons.
Well, that's why you go to arc v dot O R G and you start with the
with automatic Qureshi is Maliki fic 101 A buddy. He starts today
Abdulhadi when the Imam recites in Isaiah about paradise or Hellfire
is it permitted permissible make dua in your heart for and against
it yes it is.
Hamza Azhar is a sufficient for one to recite part of Diletta
karate as we answered that
okay to build a routine make sure the amount you commit yourself to
is so small that you don't feel that it disrupted your routine at
all. It doesn't matter how small it is get the consistency first.
Do it like that for a year.
Okay
which Salawat besides Salawat Ibrahim is most powerful one than

number of DUA and supplications that we all need for our lives

lessons are there pre recorded or there'll be recorded in there left
afterwards.
Not everyone could do what our guest did yesterday and do three
hours when he before he wakes up. I mean three hours before he goes
to work three hours when he comes back. Not everyone could do that
What about the Hadith that says Riba is worse than having
* with your mother? Why is it worse?
Because it's categorically worse. The category of
financial sins is worse than sexual sins. That's why because
financial sins will destroy a nation destroying the economy and
that sexual sin
is for you. You suffer from and Allah knows best. Hello knows
best.
What can we do in rugby? Well as a family you can gather the family

So but to have other people doing the

it. I gotta get rid of it. So
it's quality control. We need quality control in our home as
such people are very dangerous.
Right, they know the ins and outs of Islam. And they could now start
pulling people there are malignant right.
What is the benign apostate? The apostate who keeps his apostasy to
himself? We don't know it. He doesn't announce it. So he's
benign, so we don't know it so we can't punish him the shittier
I am making a lot of dots as Emma W
for something to happen
and to fall into place, but I cut it down a bit as I feared I was
falling too much in love of the dunya No, you should not because
when you are making dua, your Eman is increasing. So you are not a
person of the dunya when you are making dua you are not a person of
the dunya
okay, but you can add in it
qualities grant it for me give it to me as long as that is good for
my Dena my dunya or give it to me in a way that is good for my deen

what is the appropriate time for Joomla?
From the hood all the way to market a Joomla can be recited and
prayed
not after maghrib no before modem Yes.
I've been wondering about this for a while says our man Yan, our
correspondent from North England. I liked biology I liked science.
So I'd love to know about this, what is the correct Islamic view
of evolution and selection and evolution selection dinosaurs.
There's one condition, one theology that is absolutely
necessary that is not up for discussion, according to the
Quran, and the Hadith of the prophets of Allah when he was on
them. And that is
the creation of the human being.
Adam was created as a statue of clay, then Allah
placed the spirit in him.
The soul in him, Adam was created then from a evils created from
Adam.
Adam did not have antecedents there was no lineage above him,
there was no species above him, there was nothing above him he was
created directly.
That's it.
If you want to believe in
other kinds of erect and upright nonhumans.
Okay, like non rational, upright beings, you may believe in that.
If you want to believe that frogs evolved out of whatever you want
to believe, or whatever your evidence suggests, that no sudden,
if you want to believe that dogs evolved, that chickens evolved at
Osan, you may believe in all that if you want to believe that
dinosaurs existed, you can believe that if you want. Of course, when
I say believe that, I mean based upon evidence, right? Even if you
want to believe in it without evidence, you're not contradicting
any Islamic doctrine. You may be right you may be wrong, but you're
not in contradiction with the Quran. You are in contradiction
directly with the Quran when someone says that the human being
himself
as a species, evolved from another species. That's an unacceptable
belief in Islam.
Allah makes it very clear.
That very clear that Adam was at some point, a statue made out of
hardened clay
created directly,
no parentage.
And then Eve was created out of Adam.
That's it. And then the human beings
were created after that, by birth.
That's your summary of where we have to stop and where so what we
what do we say? We say any human theory
That contradicts revelation. There's a problem in the theory.
The theory needs to be corrected
will you be at ALMA casa? Yes, inshallah Saturday
gotta get my white thought cleaned up
if someone devotes all their time to Salawat so they stop reading
Quran would that be misguided?
There must be a word of Quran a day, even if short, such as five
minutes of recitation a day, something like that. We do not we
it is displeasing to the prophets of Allah when he was sent him to
someone ignores the book of Allah. What's the proof? The Prophet
himself says in the comment together Khurana Mathura the
people have abandoned this book.
Does Musa Dima Mohammed have all the Hadith? No, there is no book
that has all the Hadith in it. But Muslim imam it is a huge book of
Hadith 40,000 entries, with the ruling on women wearing perfume
not in the house, not outside in a way that other men would smell her
and look at her and be attracted to her.
What's your thought on marrying a river who wants to live with their
parents who isn't Muslim after marriage? No, the what is the
point of marrying if you don't go live with your husbands? You
should live with your husbands. You know if there's an extraneous
circumstance that's different, but husband and wife should live
together. But there may be an extraneous circumstance you never
know.
Bodybuilding ubiquitous wants to know can I take part in a
bodybuilding competition you can
you can
if you're not showing your outer, so you can't go in in the room
showing your thighs and your outer, there's no justification
for that. okay to do that, so you can go into bodybuilding
with parameters, right, the parameter is that you have to be
mindful of the showing off element. You have to be mindful of
the amount of time spent on this. You have to be mindful of
not showing your OTA so but in theory, bodybuilding by itself, we
can't say it's forbidden. What if someone says it's encouraging
health in a world of unhealthy people we say that's good, we
should encourage health. It allows you to do more with your life
later on when you learn good health habits and good routines
and health so we should encourage that for everybody. When you're in
a mix at work says Sr. Saudi rial says you're good at your job but
you're socially inept in small talk and chitchat with the
opposite * be boring and uninterested be great at your job
being great at your job affords you a certainly well that's that's
good got a lot of people who are really good can't afford to be
socially inept okay
sure Sheesh.
performance enhancing drugs is another thing that you part of the
parameters
of getting into this world. Right then maybe not all worlds are for
us. Oh, first Muslim body builder. Why is that supposed to be good?
He probably did the five haram things for why we says just the
first Muslim should not mean anything that we have to
celebrate. First most we there was a first Muslim in *, right?
She wasn't undressed. But why is that? Something to be proud of?
Oh, Malcolm X was in *. So what? He was wrong. How's that?
What is he like? Mosfilm? Or something?
That first Muslim to do this, that first Muslim? Is that? Is it just
a word first Muslim? We just jumped to celebrate
fools first Muslim judge? Is she ruling? What is your ruling by
right? Don't we have verses on what is what we must rule by in
Islam?
Do we just forget those verses?
It's like those people that go into you do come in second go
first. Yeah. First, some Paula. First Muslim judge. Yeah, but what
is she? What law is she applying in, in matters that are important?
Does not Allah have rules? Okay, on financial matters, on marriage,
on murder, does not have rules for these things. So we're just going
to ignore them? Is he not our Lord in the heavens and on in the earth
as Allah says the Quran which means that he is in charge of this
search, or he makes law for this earth. He's not just in
by law for the heavens and on this earth nothing no so first Muslim
this that and the other is not a reason to celebrate
okay
is a nurse and a hospital worker included in the difficulty about
getting the Jess off of them? And the answer is yes. MA degree will
Quadra if you remember and if you're able to remove an adjuster
from your body what is an adjustment it's ritual impurity
things you cannot pray with them on you blood defecation, urine of
with the exception of animals that are highlighted to eat like cow
chicken bird, right? Those types of
animals that we are allowed to eat their urine and defecation is not
nudges, but human urine human defecation blood, any in toxic and
in a liquid form. Pus, vomit, acid reflux. These things are what we
call nudges. Good nudges cannot pray with them.
Okay.
Can you go to? And how do you wash them off you wash them off with
pure with with water, not mixed with anything in it that you have
to pour on the thing that is not just and until the water comes off
clean? You don't have to worry about stains or odors? Of course
there can be a blood stain. There's nothing you can do about
that. All right, I agree. And what is he it's a follower mentality
when the world do it, we begin to copy Yes, thank you.
Message MCD. Okay, says agrees. Just because someone did it, we
have this follower mentality
Hollywood is not a world that we're going to ever compete in. We
shouldn't want to, oh, man, we don't we don't have movies. You
cannot have a Halloween movie, I'm telling you. It's very hard. It's
going to be very if you are if you can, if you're going to do it,
like Eretz rule. Just don't over make the claim of being Islamic.
Because once you do, people will jump all over you, for the women
for the music, just make the make do it. Do your thing, if you're
going to do it. Okay, but how are you going to compete with movies
that have all sorts of our showing the best sound music that they
spend hours just playing music? This is not going to be what we
Muslims do, right? But if we're going to compete with it, which
yes, there are some Muslims going to try to produce an alternative
when I I recognize that 100% But you just got to do your thing, and
it will be less harmful and maybe bend the borders of the city a
little bit. That's what they're gonna do. I'm not saying they
may do that lawfully, legally, but they will do that like Airtel and
it had a great success in the world that we live in today.
J Perez says the hadith of Riba and Zina being weak or not true at
all. I have to look into it to be honest with you.
Allah knows best.
I often read my daily Quran during the first hour of online meetings
with my team.
Technically, we're not allowed to do that. Technically, if we're
hired from nine to five we got to give work from nine to five. But
if it's acceptable, you know for you to take the break whenever it
breaks whenever you want, then you may do that. Elif I Alima Muslim
in Muslim are saying can you explain the Shafi opinion on how
touching your spouse or those you're not related to breaks would
do that is the Shafi opinion l lemma sumo Nisa, the verse in the
Quran,
he interpreted as any touching of women that are not that any
touching of woman, your wife or any opposite gender. I think the
exception is that you the women, you're not allowed to marry such
as your mom, your daughter, your aunt, your grandma, any woman that
you could have permitted to have sexual attraction to? Or that you
could potentially marry someday or you could legally marry even if
it's far fetched, right?
That's called non Muharram.
Then your window is broken. That's their opinion.
Is the Molad a bidder? No, it is not a bidder. As we said earlier,
celebrating things in Islam is lawful. The question is what
you're celebrating and how you celebrate not a single jurist in
all of Islamic history. ever said that it is unlawful to have a
celebration. The only question is
What are you celebrating? And how are you celebrating?
Can I celebrate high school graduation? Of course I can. Can I
celebrate a Quran recitation, Nick for someone memorize the whole
Quran? Or completed the recitation Holy Quran? Can I have a
celebration for that? Of course I can.
Who said I can't. But how do I do it? Am I going to do it with
excess?
$10,000 worth of food only for rich people, no poor people
invited. All these are problems, mix gatherings, music, all these
problems, right? But a celebration, which with no
overspending.
No mixing.
No, making people feel bad. You know, my problem with birthdays is
that you sort of you make people feel your burden. I gotta go now
buy gifts. What if he doesn't have money?
What if he doesn't have money? Not all the friends can afford $100
Every time someone has a birthday, please stop being born. Right?
Every time. 100 bucks, 100 bucks for this. So you got 20 friends in
a class and everyone has a birthday.
And we all now have birthday parties. Now we're gonna go up to
20 100 bucks for you. 100 bucks, 300 bucks. 300 bucks for you.
There may be families that that's easy. $20,000 A year is nothing
right. But some people they cannot do it. But you're putting them in
a tough situation now. So this expectation should be dropped.
Okay.
Should be dropped. It's how much we in a city have a concept of
making people in a hardship.
Making people feel the hardship. Good. Go to a wedding. Now we have
a custom now that you have to bring a gift that's not from
Islam. You may bring a gift if you want, but it should not be a
custom that everyone's got to come now with a gift. Okay, so now, a
person has a birthday, I got to spend 100 bucks. A person gets
married. I got to spend 100 bucks. Okay, this is not $100 meal that
I'm getting. Right? I got to spend 100 bucks for this person. 100
bucks for this person. This this culture of almost necessary gift
giving?
Oh, we can't go with our hands empty. Right? How many people say
this? Oh, you can't go with our hands empty? Yes, you can. Yes,
you can. Because there are poor people in the community. They
should be part of the community. They should not feel this is too
expensive. Have a friend group. You said her husband, husband got
get some different friends. Could you get some modest friends? We
can't do this. Some people. It's a hardship. Okay, and they're coming
in with fancy suits. Some people have one suit.
Right? He's got one suit. The guy's got one suit, the woman's
got one outfit. So this this is called heritage.
And we have this culture should not be like this right? It
weddings gotta tone it down. Birthdays, you just do that stuff
with your family. Right? Just do that stuff with your family. You
want to have a social gathering with your I want her she wants to
invite her friends invite her friends for just as an invitation.
That's a son. I'm inviting you to do what nothing, just come and eat
and we'll enjoy yourselves and have each other's companion. You
know, be friends, make friends. That's fine. But now to have it in
such a way where there's an expectation now. Right? And then
oh, okay, so I invited her now I got to invite her. And then this
is an IRA. These two people are a couple you can invite one without
the other. All that stuff's shitty. I chose to wash it away to
make social life easier. IBLEES tries to make social life harder.
Hope that makes sense to everyone. Celebrating things is always
lawful. If the thing is lawful, that's being celebrated. And the
method of celebration is lawful. And it may be even rewarded.
celebrating the completion of the Quran, by inviting the poor and
everybody else and giving them food, that's wonderful. You get
rewarded for that the celebration itself is not rewardable but the
way in which you do it you get rewarded for the charity. Okay. Is
there anything greater than the prophets of Allah he's and we
wouldn't even have this religion to talk about if it wasn't for the
Prophet peace be.
Okay. That's exactly how we do things. Since your posts from
Saudi news. It's a statement from a few days basically when he says
celebrating National Day as an embodiment of like patriotism like
just to like summarize it was in Arabic, but and he was saying it's
like a religious or it's a it's a duty in a demand for us to
celebrate the day of, you know, Saudis, or whatever. Saudi
independence is duty, a duty to celebrate the country celebrate
the land rally everybody up, says two days it's a duty. But what
about celebrating being a Muslim celebrating that the prophet is
your messenger?
All right.
So that's the answer to that. We gotta go unfortunately. Is it
