			And also there's another type of
justice or spying that occurs. And
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:08
			that is you're sitting in the
masjid or at a house or something,
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:13
			and you hear two people talking,
and you intentionally, you know,
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:16
			stay put and keep listening. And
you hope maybe you'll get some
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:19
			information, maybe we'll get some
juicy details of what's going on.
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:24
			This is a type of to justice or
spying that is prohibited. Now,
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:26
			mind you that we have in our
religion,
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:30
			etiquette and manners on how to
talk in public and how to talk in
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:33
			private. When you are in public.
If you're in any public room, you
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:38
			should not be speaking of private
matters, because you should expect
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:41
			that anyone can show up and just
join the table, sit on the table,
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:46
			and sit with you guys. Okay, and
enter the conversation. Now, if
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:49
			you say if you all get silent, as
soon as someone walks in, have you
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51
			ever had that experience, you're
sitting with a group of guys,
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:55
			okay, you're sitting with a group
of guys or what have you. And then
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:59
			all of a sudden, someone shows up
or you you show up, and then all
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:02
			of a sudden everyone goes silent,
and it gets really awkward. Well,
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:06
			this is highly, highly
discouraged, and it bad manners.
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:11
			And it's called this is even
counts as other an ever any hurt
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:15
			feeling of a Muslim, okay, is
considered a minor sin. So even if
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17
			it's that minor, literally. So if
you're in public, you should not
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			be engaging in a private
conversation. If you want to
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			engage in a private conversation,
you have to make it clear that
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:24
			it's private by going somewhere
else, far away from people.
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:28
			Because anytime you have a private
conversation in the midst of
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:32
			people in a large group, the large
group will naturally think that
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:35
			something's odd is happening or
like you're talking about them.
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:38
			Likewise, if there are a group of
people that speak a language, and
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:41
			not everyone else does, those two
people should not
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:46
			talk should not speak in that
language, or else everyone else
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:48
			will think they're talking about
them. Okay? Especially if there's
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50
			three people and two people all of
a sudden break out in order to
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:53
			what I mean, I see this all the
time. I'm like, What do you have,
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:56
			you know, o'clock at all? Okay,
I'm going to start learning what
		
00:01:56 --> 00:02:00
			to do. Okay, in that case, so
don't do this. And Arabs do it
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:03
			too. Alright. Not like everyone
does it right, that you start
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:05
			talking in this in your own
language, and you're leaving a
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07
			third person out and why do we
have to say this because in
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:10
			America, you get five Muslims,
you're gonna have three or four
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:13
			nationalities right there, right?
You get four or five Muslims and
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:16
			you're gonna have different
nationalities even you might get
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:19
			all Americans but they have their
own little cultures subcultures
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:22
			within being American. And if
you're in a small group, you
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:26
			should not we should be cognizant
of making anyone feel left out.
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:30
			Okay? Being anyone feel left out
and if we're doing this
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:31
			accidentally May Allah forgive us.
