00:01:51 --> 00:01:54

How about events? Anything clickable there.

00:01:56 --> 00:01:59

Look at this. Look at these pictures. This is what our soup

00:01:59 --> 00:02:04

kitchen looks like. Yeah, perfect. You see this? People come in. They

00:02:04 --> 00:02:08

the clothes in the back there. They take any clothes that they

00:02:24 --> 00:02:24

want.

And then they can sit

00:02:29 --> 00:02:30

Y'all hold that? See that sweatshirt right there?

00:02:40 --> 00:02:43

I think it's a nice sweatshirt. Personally speaking some people

00:02:43 --> 00:02:47

said some of the youth said it's terrible. I can't believe you

00:02:47 --> 00:02:50

approve that. No, I liked it. I mean, I thought it was nice.

00:02:50 --> 00:02:54

Anyway. So they walk in like that next picture

00:02:56 --> 00:03:00

and sub sphere, that's where they can sit. Now the next phase is to

00:03:00 --> 00:03:07

tear down that wall. Okay, we turn down that wall and we want to

00:03:07 --> 00:03:11

expand the room so they could that will be the sitting room. Okay.

00:03:11 --> 00:03:17

And it'll be basically either we make a big circle, or rows or

A line out the door.

00:03:59 --> 00:04:00

Okay,

00:04:19 --> 00:04:19

what's that?

00:04:22 --> 00:04:25

Oh, by the way, we present it and we won an award by the way.

00:04:26 --> 00:04:32

We won an award. Yeah. We won an award at the Art Gala. Rutgers

00:04:32 --> 00:04:38

University gave us in students the basically the artists. Yeah, let's

00:04:38 --> 00:04:42

gave us an award Believe it or not.

00:04:52 --> 00:04:52

Yeah.

00:04:59 --> 00:04:59

See how

00:05:00 --> 00:05:03

The summer is the best when we have all these events in the

00:05:03 --> 00:05:06

summer stop and go all these things look at them freeze don't

00:05:06 --> 00:05:11

freeze. Sit on the chair, right last person who doesn't sit on the

00:05:11 --> 00:05:15

chairs out all right, you know that game right? Musical Chairs

00:05:17 --> 00:05:18

what's musical chairs in Spanish?

00:05:23 --> 00:05:25

musika Gera,

00:05:26 --> 00:05:27

right

00:05:35 --> 00:05:36

is the location

00:05:37 --> 00:05:40

I started looking nice right here. Our building is like the most

00:05:40 --> 00:05:43

standard building and that's why we made it that way. So nobody has

00:05:43 --> 00:05:46

to look for the building. They literally just say go to that

00:05:46 --> 00:05:49

building that looks white and has an orange roof. You'll see it when

00:05:49 --> 00:05:51

you Spanish style buildings.

00:05:52 --> 00:05:54

All right, so that's really good. That is really good. That's

00:05:59 --> 00:06:02

yeah, we have the website. If you can see if you guys local Cena.

00:06:02 --> 00:06:07

367. Yeah. Why three? Why 367? Because it's the address. Yeah,

00:06:07 --> 00:06:14

why is it Safina is Safina 367 is because LA Cosina 367 dot o RG

00:06:14 --> 00:06:18

because the address is 367. All right, there is there are a lot of

00:06:19 --> 00:06:22

three, six sevens out there. And a lot of like casinos out there. So

00:06:22 --> 00:06:23

we had to

00:06:24 --> 00:06:27

denote it in some other way. Now let me ask you a question. Let's

00:06:27 --> 00:06:30

take a theology point here before we get to our guests.

00:06:32 --> 00:06:33

I've said many times

00:06:35 --> 00:06:38

I'm retired. I'm really trying to commit to it this time of

00:06:38 --> 00:06:43

argumentation. As Imam Malik said, argumentation takes a light of, of

00:06:43 --> 00:06:46

knowledge out of the heart. So really try not to argue but that

00:06:46 --> 00:06:51

doesn't mean that I'm submitting to every update point. And I'm

00:06:51 --> 00:06:54

never going to talk about update again, or secondary matters. It

00:06:54 --> 00:06:57

just under yada understand there are secondary matters

00:06:58 --> 00:07:04

of aka that you have to view it in that light. And the ultimate had

00:07:04 --> 00:07:05

to answer them.

00:07:06 --> 00:07:07

And we also

00:07:08 --> 00:07:09

write teach them.

00:07:10 --> 00:07:13

And these matters are up for debate. It's up that people can

00:07:13 --> 00:07:17

believe it or not, they can feel that they're that we're correct

00:07:17 --> 00:07:21

about this or we're not correct about it. Okay, so today we're

00:07:21 --> 00:07:25

going to discuss a question of the Hadith of the Jedi that comes up

00:07:25 --> 00:07:31

often. Alright. Now, let me also tell you this, many people say no,

00:07:31 --> 00:07:35

don't bring this up to the people, they're going to be confused. Oh,

00:07:35 --> 00:07:38

we should only just talk about relevant things. It's not true.

00:07:38 --> 00:07:42

But it is relevant because people do look at this and talk about it

00:07:42 --> 00:07:44

right? People do ask questions about this.

00:07:45 --> 00:07:50

And as long as we put it in a context that this is the HD head,

00:07:51 --> 00:07:55

it's the attempt of scholars to understand the speech of the

00:07:55 --> 00:08:00

Prophet peace be upon him. And with the context of not arguing, I

00:08:00 --> 00:08:04

have no interest in arguing with effigies in somebody's gut. I view

00:08:04 --> 00:08:08

them as our brothers. They have their own itchy head. I know it's

00:08:08 --> 00:08:13

silent. Okay. Let's look at what our ultimate said about this.

00:08:20 --> 00:08:23

For the winner of the Muslim world by hottie and not a surah allah

00:08:23 --> 00:08:25

sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said in at least

00:08:27 --> 00:08:29

stuck for Allah. Actually, I shouldn't mumble the Hadith like

00:08:29 --> 00:08:30

that.

00:08:31 --> 00:08:34

That was not right. But what I just I did that because it wasn't

00:08:35 --> 00:08:37

what I was trying to read. Okay.

00:08:38 --> 00:08:41

The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said in nel Islam a better

00:08:41 --> 00:08:46

of God. EBA was a holdover riba came by the ephah to Bala Laura

00:08:46 --> 00:08:50

peeler, woman homall ora men whom Allah O Allah rasool Allah, the

00:08:50 --> 00:08:54

Prophet SAW, Selim said, Islam began as a strange thing amongst

00:08:54 --> 00:08:57

the people, and it will return to be a strange thing amongst the

00:08:57 --> 00:08:58

people.

00:08:59 --> 00:09:05

But bless it are those strange ones. Okay. Those ones who are

00:09:07 --> 00:09:10

very few in number amongst their amongst the people.

00:09:12 --> 00:09:16

They said, Who are these strange ones, these ahora about

00:09:17 --> 00:09:19

the prophets of Allah when he was sense and when it's a good

00:09:19 --> 00:09:21

question, by the way, when we say that there's one out of every four

00:09:21 --> 00:09:25

people on the earth as a Muslim, so who are the strange ones? So

00:09:25 --> 00:09:28

there must be a group of Muslims that are doing something that not

00:09:28 --> 00:09:32

everyone else is doing. Here are the prophesize sensor and levena

00:09:32 --> 00:09:37

Usili Hona Minh suna de upsetedness. The people who

00:09:38 --> 00:09:39

rectify

00:09:40 --> 00:09:42

my example my sunnah MY WAY the TRUTH,

00:09:44 --> 00:09:49

which the people have corrupted. So the hurt Eve is any person who

00:09:49 --> 00:09:55

is sort of like the lone wolf or the minority in any matter of

00:09:55 --> 00:09:56

truth.

00:09:57 --> 00:09:59

In the matter of any matter of truth. He's in the minority

00:10:00 --> 00:10:03

Be that person is the group. So if you for example, if you go to a

00:10:03 --> 00:10:07

wedding, one of these weddings where it's office said, okay

00:10:10 --> 00:10:16

in that case you refuse to attend the facade and you're like, let me

00:10:16 --> 00:10:18

just go you know,

00:10:19 --> 00:10:24

to the masjid. Let me go in in the hallway and leave this facade. You

00:10:24 --> 00:10:29

are already okay? You are off that even if you do that. That's one of

00:10:29 --> 00:10:29

the meanings of that

00:10:32 --> 00:10:35

was so natural Rasul Lee Parrish yesterday

00:10:37 --> 00:10:44

what a lot either Well, I can. Good now. We read from Imam nawawi

00:10:44 --> 00:10:47

fie Shahi Hadith Algeria.

00:10:48 --> 00:10:52

If you ask me Imam no is the first go to source for anything I yield

00:10:52 --> 00:10:56

is his source but not everyone knows called the IUL but everyone

00:10:56 --> 00:11:00

knows it. No, we got the Eastern scholars are always more famous

00:11:00 --> 00:11:02

than the Western scholars she's called their yields from Morocco.

00:11:03 --> 00:11:07

They're not as well known the Eastern scholars of Syria and

00:11:07 --> 00:11:12

Baghdad before that they're well known in the mother book spread

00:11:12 --> 00:11:17

and there are trusted sources so this is now a question that didn't

00:11:17 --> 00:11:20

maybe didn't come up earlier. Good.

00:11:21 --> 00:11:28

Imam unknowing. He shot he Hadith Algeria. In says his commentary on

00:11:28 --> 00:11:32

Sahih Muslim what is the Hadith of the Jedi of a servant girl was

00:11:32 --> 00:11:33

brought to the Prophet

00:11:35 --> 00:11:38

Jetty it could be a servant of free servant or slave. I believe

00:11:38 --> 00:11:42

that most cases it's a slave. She was brought to the Prophet

00:11:42 --> 00:11:45

sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and the yes in this case, she was a

00:11:45 --> 00:11:47

slave for sure we know that.

00:11:49 --> 00:11:54

And they were asking do we free her? Or is she a Muslim or not?

00:11:54 --> 00:12:01

Because she was in Butte and blind and some said blind only. Okay and

00:12:01 --> 00:12:03

Allah knows best. We're gonna see you as different different

00:12:04 --> 00:12:05

situations, different narrations.

00:12:08 --> 00:12:14

He says in the Book of masajid, the area of Salah in the chapter

00:12:14 --> 00:12:16

of the prohibition of speech in Salah.

00:12:19 --> 00:12:24

And the abrogation of its permissibility because speech and

00:12:24 --> 00:12:28

Salah is permissible. It used to be permissible sorry, I used to be

00:12:28 --> 00:12:31

permitted to talk and Salah then it became abrogated.

00:12:32 --> 00:12:36

He says heaven Hadith meant a hadith Josephat This is a Hadith

00:12:36 --> 00:12:40

from the Hadith related to the attributes of Allah. And it has

00:12:40 --> 00:12:45

two methods as we have spoke about many times in the book of Amen,

00:12:45 --> 00:12:51

One method is to believe in it without talking about it. This is

00:12:51 --> 00:12:53

I'm not going to go to humbly because I'm not humbly but from

00:12:53 --> 00:12:56

what I've seen of the somebody's this is their way. Okay.

00:12:58 --> 00:13:02

All right. Can you swap our positions on that? Yeah, that'd be

00:13:02 --> 00:13:05

good. All right. Our guests are here we're gonna we're gonna get

00:13:05 --> 00:13:11

to the guests in a second. So just leave it as is and you have the

00:13:11 --> 00:13:13

right to do so. And if you're a common wisdom guide Listen, I

00:13:13 --> 00:13:16

don't I don't want to get involved in this these these questions.

00:13:16 --> 00:13:19

Hey, this is a great outlet. Just say call us whatever Alon is

00:13:19 --> 00:13:20

profit meant to be good

00:13:22 --> 00:13:26

mount Attica Lee. But you also have to believe you can't just let

00:13:26 --> 00:13:29

it go. You also have to be negate what Allah negated for himself.

00:13:30 --> 00:13:37

Mao Attica, my God and Allah, that Allah LASIK and cliche that there

00:13:37 --> 00:13:42

is none like unto him What 10 Z who uncIe Matson mclucas And you

00:13:42 --> 00:13:47

must say that he is transcendent of from all the descriptions of

00:13:47 --> 00:13:51

created beings, okay, so to be created has certain descriptions

00:13:51 --> 00:13:52

to it.

00:13:53 --> 00:13:57

And you can say in general, that Allah is transcendent be on all

00:13:57 --> 00:14:00

such descriptions, color, that's it, you don't have to specify

00:14:00 --> 00:14:01

general that's

00:14:02 --> 00:14:05

the other opinion is to make we

00:14:07 --> 00:14:11

interpret it. Allah didn't tell us something that has no meaning.

00:14:11 --> 00:14:12

Good.

00:14:13 --> 00:14:16

And he says about them with a shabby hat, that

00:14:18 --> 00:14:23

it is not known except to their mean is not known except to Allah

00:14:23 --> 00:14:28

and those who are firmly established and knowledge. Okay.

00:14:29 --> 00:14:35

And also you can continue that verse and or, say, it's only known

00:14:35 --> 00:14:40

to Allah stop, and those who are firmly grounded in knowledge, say,

00:14:41 --> 00:14:46

no one knows its meaning but Allah. So the first that's the

00:14:46 --> 00:14:48

Listen, I don't know what it means. I'm gonna stop there. Only

00:14:48 --> 00:14:54

Allah knows. But the second says that Allah knows those firmly

00:14:54 --> 00:14:59

grounded in knowledge No. And they admit that they recognize that

00:14:59 --> 00:14:59

there is

00:15:00 --> 00:15:03

interpretation of it is speculative and only absolute

00:15:03 --> 00:15:08

certainty, lie Alemu the absolute certainty is for Allah.

00:15:10 --> 00:15:13

Okay, so it's not nice. It doesn't negate when we say only Allah

00:15:13 --> 00:15:18

knows. Yes, only Allah knows with certainty. He has absolute truth.

00:15:19 --> 00:15:23

And these verses we may know them based on speculation.

00:15:25 --> 00:15:26

So if you ask any,

00:15:27 --> 00:15:33

what's the kalam when he makes it when he says, This is what we

00:15:33 --> 00:15:37

know, and Allah knows best. Because we are making HT head,

00:15:37 --> 00:15:40

we're using scholarly effort to try to understand what Allah means

00:15:40 --> 00:15:40

here.

00:15:41 --> 00:15:44

And we believe this is what he means. But we must ultimately

00:15:44 --> 00:15:47

return the meaning to Allah. Now, we don't do that for things that

00:15:47 --> 00:15:50

are absolutely certain. When we're absolutely certain about something

00:15:50 --> 00:15:53

you don't say, and Allah knows best. You can say God is one.

00:15:54 --> 00:15:56

Muhammad is his prophet, and Allah knows best. No, you have to be

00:15:56 --> 00:15:59

certain about that, because that's clear and explicit in our

00:15:59 --> 00:16:04

religion. So that's a difference between recognizing absolute

00:16:04 --> 00:16:08

certain knowledge and speculative knowledge. All right, we're

00:16:08 --> 00:16:10

allowed to have speculative knowledge we're allowed to

00:16:10 --> 00:16:14

speculate on meanings of things, but we have to understand but

00:16:14 --> 00:16:15

speculation has to be with evidence.

00:16:16 --> 00:16:21

We have to understand that that is an effort to understand the truth.

00:16:22 --> 00:16:24

You understand? Not

00:16:25 --> 00:16:29

an claim of absolute knowledge without any possibility go wrong.

00:16:30 --> 00:16:33

We're just going to read this. And then we're going with two minutes

00:16:33 --> 00:16:36

and then we're gonna get to our guests. So he says here.

00:16:37 --> 00:16:41

So we'd have him from oncology Heather, those who interpreted

00:16:41 --> 00:16:47

this hadith said, Ken and Murad MT Hanwha. * he M Wahida. Took a

00:16:47 --> 00:16:53

Ruby and nellcor lapel muda Belfast fall who Allah Okay, is

00:16:53 --> 00:16:58

she, it? This is a test for her, okay. Does she hold that the one,

00:16:59 --> 00:17:03

the creator, the doer of all things, this is also proves that

00:17:03 --> 00:17:08

no, we held that Allah is the only DOER of all things is Allah. Good.

00:17:09 --> 00:17:14

Whoa, Alevi, either Daya who day is talking about us summer. And he

00:17:14 --> 00:17:17

is the one who if you pray to Him, you face the heavens because the

00:17:17 --> 00:17:23

fibula of dua is the heavens. Why do we point up for Allah and look

00:17:23 --> 00:17:27

up? The same reason we pray to the Kaaba. We're not praying to the

00:17:27 --> 00:17:30

cob. And we're not holding that Allah's essences in the sky.

00:17:31 --> 00:17:36

We hold that that's the Qibla of dua, if we held otherwise, that

00:17:36 --> 00:17:39

means the South American is pointing down and I'm pointing up,

00:17:39 --> 00:17:43

and if the essence of ALLAH is there, then that means the essence

00:17:43 --> 00:17:48

of ALLAH is has the earth inside of it. Right? As all around us,

00:17:48 --> 00:17:50

but there are things that doesn't make any that's not acceptable.

00:17:50 --> 00:17:55

Okay. That contradicts much of what we have other explicit texts.

00:17:55 --> 00:17:56

Okay, so

00:17:58 --> 00:18:02

So this that's the first meaning. Kemet, el sol Musa lista Kabbalah

00:18:02 --> 00:18:04

Acaba, remember no he said the exact same thing I just said. He

00:18:04 --> 00:18:09

said in the same way that the one who faces the Kaaba, he prays he

00:18:09 --> 00:18:13

faces the Kaaba, if you make dua, you face up, you put your hands

00:18:13 --> 00:18:17

up, okay, you don't put your hands to the side to the left down, you

00:18:17 --> 00:18:20

face up and you look up and you the shahada is this

00:18:22 --> 00:18:26

camera Annelle kabaka blood or mousseline? Oh Hiya, min.

00:18:27 --> 00:18:32

Or is she from an Abba till Thanh? an Aboriginal Athena letsie been a

00:18:32 --> 00:18:39

DM? So? Is she from the ones who praise facing like this? Or is her

00:18:39 --> 00:18:39

God?

00:18:40 --> 00:18:44

An idol on the earth such that where's your God? Oh, he's right

00:18:44 --> 00:18:48

there in that house. He's there. He's an idol over there. Or he's

00:18:48 --> 00:18:51

an idol over there. Because where were the idols physically on

00:18:51 --> 00:18:56

Earth? That's what he met me. No, he's saying, If you where's your

00:18:56 --> 00:19:00

da, where is your Creator? Alright, the one that you worship

00:19:00 --> 00:19:06

and point up and point upwards and make dua facing the sky or the one

00:19:06 --> 00:19:13

that is the idols here on the earth. Okay, so here, she answers

00:19:13 --> 00:19:19

the question, she says FISMA. So therefore, that made clear that

00:19:19 --> 00:19:23

she's a mono theist. She doesn't worship idols. And because as I

00:19:23 --> 00:19:26

told you know, he always relies on Claudia Yachty always cites

00:19:26 --> 00:19:29

Claudia and so much so he just says caught off guard he called

the Ayyad says lucky lefur banal Muslim Amina cow Tibetan Sufi, who

00:19:34 --> 00:19:39

whom one more Hadith, Lima, whom one of navaro, one mocha Lydia,

00:19:40 --> 00:19:43

there is no difference between the Muslims forever from the beginning

00:19:43 --> 00:19:45

of time their jurists, their Hadith scholars, their

00:19:45 --> 00:19:53

theologians, their thinkers, their followers, and Nhava had a word of

00:19:53 --> 00:19:58

the word aware of the biddick Rila if his semer II get that all of

the verses that you may take literally bet in which a Wella

integer Me or him rather interpret. So, Allah has told us

00:20:19 --> 00:20:22

in suits at Emraan that some verses are

00:20:24 --> 00:20:27

from the mother's sources of the book that means they are as they

00:20:27 --> 00:20:31

are and others are Morticia they they sound like something that

00:20:31 --> 00:20:34

they do not mean the immediate meaning of

00:20:37 --> 00:20:40

one more perk chapter or paragraph and then we go to our guests we'll

00:20:40 --> 00:20:43

call it half of Ebola buzz Mojib Norma,

00:21:19 --> 00:21:24

here meaning by the meaning and the rank? Okay, a bow oh damn

00:21:24 --> 00:21:27

eBay. No Huma worked assertive, thorough. Yeah, well buzzer be

00:21:27 --> 00:21:33

shut off. We're refer. So Allah, Allah have a Kunal colo have a

00:21:33 --> 00:21:40

summit a few yoga till Alou will refer. Okay, in greatness, the

00:21:40 --> 00:21:47

summit here being greatness and exalted rank. And this is as if

00:21:47 --> 00:21:52

one says for learn for summer, or am I not thorough, or so and so is

00:21:52 --> 00:21:53

in the sky.

00:21:55 --> 00:21:59

Meaning in Arabic, I guess, he is of a high rank.

00:22:01 --> 00:22:04

And there's more that we'll cover later. Right, including different

00:22:04 --> 00:22:08

narrations, completely different narrations from this. Alright, so

00:22:08 --> 00:22:13

that's why the other one the other interpretation, just to give you a

00:22:13 --> 00:22:20

summary, is that when she she was mute, so she only did this. Right.

00:22:20 --> 00:22:23

And it's not pointing up. It's the shahada, Leila Allah Muhammad

00:22:23 --> 00:22:26

Rasul Allah, that's one of the meanings. So whether she was

00:22:26 --> 00:22:28

pointing up, that means the outcome that's a drop,

00:22:30 --> 00:22:35

or she was doing this, meaning the symbol of the shahada a brings the

00:22:35 --> 00:22:39

same results. And on top of that, it's not condemned the source

00:22:39 --> 00:22:41

evidence because there's so many different narrations of what

00:22:41 --> 00:22:44

actually happened. Okay, now, why are we saying this? I have to

00:22:44 --> 00:22:47

couch this and I'll say it a million times. We're not here to

00:22:47 --> 00:22:48

pick a fight with the

00:22:50 --> 00:22:55

high nebula nor are we arguing you have your opinion and almost none

00:22:56 --> 00:23:00

you can have it and we honor the humbly school and the sad opinion.

00:23:02 --> 00:23:07

That negates touch seam and location for Allah subhanaw taala

00:23:08 --> 00:23:10

and there are many humbly books that explicitly state that

00:23:11 --> 00:23:16

alright, and either way, this is what the SID said. If someone

00:23:16 --> 00:23:19

doesn't want to believe it, and was silent no one's gonna argue

00:23:19 --> 00:23:20

with you. Okay.

00:23:22 --> 00:23:23

All right. Let's go to our guests.

00:23:27 --> 00:23:27

Alm

00:23:30 --> 00:23:34

ALM, is it ALM let's bring our guests

00:23:37 --> 00:23:41

while I like Mozilla Mozilla who but I care too we have hammered

00:23:42 --> 00:23:46

Masha Allah we have hammered and we have a deep

00:23:47 --> 00:23:49

ideal mashallah Hamid Anna deal.

00:23:50 --> 00:23:53

Welcome to the Safina society nothing but facts live stream.

00:23:55 --> 00:24:00

Thank you. All right. So you guys went to college? You saw frats

00:24:00 --> 00:24:05

everywhere. And you said hey, why don't we have our own, you know,

00:24:05 --> 00:24:11

type of fraternity. So talk to us. Tell us what did you see what led

00:24:11 --> 00:24:12

you to this?

00:24:14 --> 00:24:18

Want to start with you? Yeah, this study was salam ala Nabina

00:24:18 --> 00:24:19

Muhammad.

00:24:20 --> 00:24:23

So I guess just to clear things Hammad and I are not the founders

00:24:23 --> 00:24:28

of ALM. Okay. We are hamdulillah a product of the people who have

00:24:28 --> 00:24:32

founded actually last year we celebrated our 10th anniversary.

00:24:33 --> 00:24:39

And I mean to answer the question directly, alm the purpose of it is

00:24:39 --> 00:24:43

we all know what the college experience is like. And as men,

00:24:44 --> 00:24:48

it's difficult to navigate the college process in that organic

00:24:48 --> 00:24:51

called setting while also adhering to Islamic principles. So the

00:24:51 --> 00:24:55

purpose of LM is to fill that void where we build

00:24:56 --> 00:24:59

Muslim men based off the life in the footsteps of the Prophet Allah

00:25:00 --> 00:25:00

To start

00:25:02 --> 00:25:06

also making sure we enjoy our college experience so as to create

00:25:06 --> 00:25:10

kind of space for for for men that wasn't there before and her model,

00:25:10 --> 00:25:11

I'll pass it off to you.

00:25:14 --> 00:25:16

Yeah, so fraternities are are

00:25:18 --> 00:25:21

inherently embedded in the American culture. They've been

00:25:21 --> 00:25:26

around for hundreds of years. And when they were first established

00:25:26 --> 00:25:31

some even before the United States, they were created with the

00:25:31 --> 00:25:37

purpose of, of having that fraternity or brotherhood and

00:25:37 --> 00:25:39

personal development and over the years.

00:25:41 --> 00:25:45

It's gotten watered down. Yeah. The majority of them well, it's

00:25:45 --> 00:25:52

all drinking and girls, right now. Yes, yes, that's pretty much what

00:25:52 --> 00:25:55

it is, except for Yale Skull and Bones, which is basically

00:25:55 --> 00:25:58

fraternity for global conquest,

00:25:59 --> 00:26:02

which were made to believe people don't know about yields Skull and

00:26:02 --> 00:26:08

Bones. Like, so many presidents came out of there. Yeah. And so

00:26:08 --> 00:26:12

what we did is we took that original Greek fraternity model

00:26:13 --> 00:26:17

that's been used, and we've left the bat those those cultural

00:26:17 --> 00:26:21

things, and we've took the good and use that to structure our

00:26:21 --> 00:26:26

organization to cultivate a lifelong brotherhood and

00:26:28 --> 00:26:32

prophetic manliness. So what are the kinds of things that you guys

00:26:32 --> 00:26:32

do?

00:26:34 --> 00:26:38

You guys meet up and drink Zamzam water instead of kegs of beer?

00:26:38 --> 00:26:42

Yeah, we play the drums on Pong instead. Okay, so tell me what is

00:26:42 --> 00:26:47

if I joined if my son came to school, and joined? What are the

00:26:47 --> 00:26:48

things that he's going to see and do?

00:26:50 --> 00:26:52

So you go ahead.

00:26:53 --> 00:26:56

I was gonna say, like, think of it like different umbrellas, right?

00:26:56 --> 00:26:59

So there's a spiritual spirit to it. There's an educational

00:26:59 --> 00:27:02

academic sphere to it, there's a social to it, there's a

00:27:02 --> 00:27:06

philanthropic spirit spirit to it. So LM, like usually, fraternities

00:27:06 --> 00:27:08

fall under one of three categories, either social, either

00:27:08 --> 00:27:11

community service, or professional, LM facilitates all

00:27:11 --> 00:27:15

three, to where if your son were to join, he'd be involved in each

00:27:15 --> 00:27:19

and every one of these avenues. So for example, if you need spiritual

00:27:19 --> 00:27:21

development, whether it be waking up for Fudger, something as simple

00:27:21 --> 00:27:26

as that, or let's wait and try to deal with someone who is not just

00:27:26 --> 00:27:30

a resident expert, but actual Islamic scholar, you can do so

00:27:30 --> 00:27:32

through the, through the means of the fraternity, whether it be

00:27:32 --> 00:27:37

social work, so for example, a lot of men again, this is specifically

00:27:37 --> 00:27:41

for, I guess, your audience and audience less than men, but it's

00:27:41 --> 00:27:44

not limited to those right, so non Muslims can join as well.

00:27:45 --> 00:27:50

But a lot of men do not see or are a part of women's struggles. So

00:27:50 --> 00:27:52

for example, if there's a women's shelter, if there's domestic

00:27:52 --> 00:27:56

violence issues, whatever it may be, metal freeze, they won't know

00:27:56 --> 00:27:59

what to do. So why should we empower our brothers to make sure

00:27:59 --> 00:28:02

that if you're in a situation like that, can you aid empower our

00:28:02 --> 00:28:05

sisters make sure they're in a safe space, but also be behind the

00:28:05 --> 00:28:08

scenes? Are you going to the shelters? Are you you know, if

00:28:08 --> 00:28:11

there's a need in the community? Are you at the forefront of that

00:28:11 --> 00:28:15

need, and go into the social aspect of it as well. So again,

00:28:15 --> 00:28:17

it's a fraternity, right? We're here to have fun, we're here to

00:28:17 --> 00:28:19

have a good time we're here to travel together, things like that.

00:28:20 --> 00:28:23

But in a Halal means, right? So we're not drinking, we're not like

00:28:23 --> 00:28:25

partying, as you see, like, you know, in movies and how other

00:28:25 --> 00:28:28

fraternities do it. But at the same time, the whole of the

00:28:28 --> 00:28:30

bonding, the Brotherhood is there.

00:28:31 --> 00:28:34

And as a means to go close to each other, because at the end of the

00:28:34 --> 00:28:38

day, right, when Hamid said it's a lifelong journey, but also

00:28:38 --> 00:28:42

limited, right? Our life as Islam, our journey doesn't end with our

00:28:42 --> 00:28:48

life, if anything, that's again, right. So for us, what makes us

00:28:48 --> 00:28:51

also different than some other organizations on campus is once

00:28:51 --> 00:28:54

you graduate, you have no business being involved with those

00:28:54 --> 00:28:57

organizations, right? You're not an activist. You're not on the

00:28:57 --> 00:29:01

college campus. For us, it's just a stepstone. Right? Oh, one thing

00:29:01 --> 00:29:04

I like to tell our members is if you look around, the people who

00:29:04 --> 00:29:07

you're surrounding yourself with, they will be the first person that

00:29:07 --> 00:29:10

congratulate you, when you get married. They're gonna be the

00:29:10 --> 00:29:13

first person to come to you. You know, when you have your first

00:29:13 --> 00:29:15

kid, when your parents pass away, they're the ones who are going to

00:29:15 --> 00:29:19

be, you know, the shoulder to cry on. And even when you pass away,

00:29:19 --> 00:29:21

they're the ones who will be lifting your body and putting you

00:29:21 --> 00:29:25

in the grave. How many, especially Muslim men can say they have a

00:29:25 --> 00:29:28

support system like that, especially in America, where

00:29:28 --> 00:29:32

you're, you're the best place to get it? Is it College? Exactly.

00:29:32 --> 00:29:34

Everybody's exactly.

00:29:35 --> 00:29:40

I actually observed that. The big state schools,

00:29:41 --> 00:29:45

like I think in Chicago, most people from Chicago, they go to

00:29:45 --> 00:29:48

school in Chicago, New Jersey, we have a massive school here at

00:29:48 --> 00:29:49

Rutgers University.

00:29:51 --> 00:29:56

I think most people where there's a state school, and places where

00:29:56 --> 00:29:59

people like, aren't it's not a place where people are

00:30:01 --> 00:30:03

They're itinerant come and go.

00:30:04 --> 00:30:07

You end up those college friends of yours. They're literally your

00:30:07 --> 00:30:09

friends until you're 60.

00:30:10 --> 00:30:12

They literally put you in the grave.

00:30:13 --> 00:30:19

I see some of my friends now that are still from college. Right? And

00:30:19 --> 00:30:23

it's like amazing that like 20 years past and we're still

00:30:23 --> 00:30:27

friends, you know? So tell me how many branches you have. Where are

00:30:27 --> 00:30:28

where are your branches.

00:30:30 --> 00:30:35

So we have opened up 11 chapters. Right now we have six active

00:30:35 --> 00:30:40

chapters. One is in Dallas, UT Dallas, what is an Austin UT

00:30:40 --> 00:30:41

Austin?

00:30:42 --> 00:30:46

What is an Arizona, ASU Arizona State University, University of

00:30:46 --> 00:30:47

California, San Diego.

00:30:48 --> 00:30:53

University of Toledo in Ohio and University of Wisconsin Madison.

00:30:53 --> 00:30:58

So you have that's four you mentioned? Six, six, Ohio.

00:30:59 --> 00:31:02

Wisconsin. Yeah, that doesn't count.

00:31:03 --> 00:31:09

As Wisconsin. Green Bay Packers. That's it. Okay. So, whisk. Ohio,

00:31:09 --> 00:31:13

Toledo. Ohio is a huge school. Right. That's Ohio State. Right.

00:31:14 --> 00:31:18

Different schools. Yeah, different. Okay. What else?

00:31:19 --> 00:31:23

Dallas, Austin. That's huge. Dallas and Austin. That's three

00:31:23 --> 00:31:28

what else we go. San Diego. Nice. But since a small school, right?

00:31:30 --> 00:31:32

It's kind of big.

00:31:33 --> 00:31:36

Okay, other than the middle there? What's the fifth one?

00:31:37 --> 00:31:38

Arizona,

00:31:39 --> 00:31:43

is Phoenix, Arizona, Arizona. Okay, that's where they play all

00:31:43 --> 00:31:44

the Super Bowls, right.

00:31:46 --> 00:31:51

But it's a big like ASU like in high school, any high school

00:31:51 --> 00:31:54

American can testify. It's known to be that party school. We're all

00:31:54 --> 00:31:55

friends are

00:31:56 --> 00:32:01

11. That setting is one and that's huge. Now, what how does someone

00:32:01 --> 00:32:04

start wondering if some kids at Rutgers want to start this

00:32:04 --> 00:32:05

organization

00:32:06 --> 00:32:08

can't say they haven't tried.

00:32:09 --> 00:32:13

You, there's an application process. So you go to the website,

00:32:13 --> 00:32:15

you fill out an application, we have a discussion.

00:32:17 --> 00:32:21

And then if everything looks good, we start what we call our

00:32:22 --> 00:32:26

colonization or incubation process, which is a process of

00:32:27 --> 00:32:33

where the the person or group of people start to work on trying to

00:32:33 --> 00:32:37

establish the chapter. They're good. And they're given like a

00:32:37 --> 00:32:40

program of things they need to do in order to establish the

00:32:40 --> 00:32:43

organization, gather people, some of the

00:32:45 --> 00:32:47

everyday things that we do. And if

00:32:49 --> 00:32:51

that group of people is able to create

00:32:52 --> 00:32:56

a sustained chapter, something that will last for generations,

00:32:56 --> 00:33:00

then they are officially initiated into a chapter and they're part of

00:33:00 --> 00:33:04

the nationwide lifelong brotherhood. Okay, very good. So

00:33:05 --> 00:33:09

you guys approve or disapprove? The chapters? Right?

00:33:10 --> 00:33:12

Do you guys have when you graduate,

00:33:14 --> 00:33:19

alm members have like, an annual weekend or something?

00:33:20 --> 00:33:25

We have an annual event every year? Yes. And that's open for

00:33:25 --> 00:33:30

everyone active and alumni, active University members and alumni. And

00:33:30 --> 00:33:32

what do you guys do basically in those.

00:33:34 --> 00:33:38

So every other year, we do a conference. And then the following

00:33:38 --> 00:33:42

year, we'll do a retreat. A conference like what

00:33:44 --> 00:33:49

that is a, that is a time where we come to a city where everyone

00:33:49 --> 00:33:52

comes like they'll book flights, everyone will fly into the same

00:33:52 --> 00:33:56

city. And we will host a conference with different speakers

00:33:56 --> 00:34:00

on kind of more of the professional development,

00:34:00 --> 00:34:03

networking side and top and so we'll also have scholars come out

00:34:03 --> 00:34:08

and have and have topics as well. So it's not necessarily only just

00:34:08 --> 00:34:12

in Islamic conferences, anyone who has a skill, who can who has

00:34:12 --> 00:34:16

something to say that's interesting. We'll talk right.

00:34:17 --> 00:34:21

Yeah, it follows a theme like that's determined for that for

00:34:21 --> 00:34:25

that conference. And then for a retreat, that is where we quite

00:34:25 --> 00:34:28

literally retreat into a remote location with everyone there. We

00:34:28 --> 00:34:31

spent a weekend together. Now, I don't know if you know about

00:34:31 --> 00:34:36

Safina Saudi podcasts in this live stream, but we're like, we're like

00:34:36 --> 00:34:41

Big Al Qaeda buffs. Here. Is there a set creed or doctrine at least

00:34:41 --> 00:34:47

like a sunnah for Alm or is it open socket? Ianis and progressive

00:34:47 --> 00:34:51

Muslims? Like who am I going to be hanging out with here? I mean,

00:34:51 --> 00:34:55

that's a great question. Right. So a lot of people like to ask, you

00:34:55 --> 00:34:58

know, even on a more broader level, is it Sunday only what

00:34:58 --> 00:35:00

happens if someone from a different sector

00:35:00 --> 00:35:04

non Muslim joints. At the end of the day when you create community,

00:35:05 --> 00:35:08

and even from like a prophetic point of view, like the process

00:35:08 --> 00:35:11

that I'm doing, go to People ask what are you and then let them

00:35:11 --> 00:35:14

become Muslim? Right? Well, even at all it's setting you're going

00:35:14 --> 00:35:18

to be surrounded by a people when you don't know. But people who

00:35:18 --> 00:35:22

believes backgrounds experiences are very different than yours.

00:35:23 --> 00:35:28

Well, I It doesn't exclude people in terms of their religion. But

00:35:28 --> 00:35:32

what about what you sponsor? So I have a conference Hold on, I'm an

00:35:32 --> 00:35:33

ALM member?

00:35:34 --> 00:35:35

Can my

00:35:37 --> 00:35:41

committee medi shift come in and speak about midazolam, Muhammad's

00:35:41 --> 00:35:44

beauty and wonder, and thankfulness?

00:35:46 --> 00:35:51

That's, so when it comes to, I guess, more niche subjects, we

00:35:51 --> 00:35:55

wouldn't do that at a conference. We like if someone wants more

00:35:55 --> 00:35:58

learning and academic interests. Yeah, we can host like a speaker.

00:35:58 --> 00:36:01

And if anyone is interested in learning about it, you can learn

00:36:01 --> 00:36:05

about it. But we're not, for example, going out in the streets

00:36:05 --> 00:36:09

and advocating one specific sect or one specific belief. Because

00:36:09 --> 00:36:13

again, at the end of the day, like the belief to my brother next to

00:36:13 --> 00:36:18

me may be very different from a background point of view. But it's

00:36:18 --> 00:36:22

tied to Okay, from the Sunnah in of itself. That's where we derive

00:36:22 --> 00:36:25

a lot of our principles from now, again, scholars and different

00:36:25 --> 00:36:28

teachers across time will have different interpretations of it,

00:36:28 --> 00:36:32

etc, etc. So we typically rely on our local scholars. So being in

00:36:32 --> 00:36:36

Dallas, it's easy, right? All the scholars are here. Yeah. But there

00:36:36 --> 00:36:40

will be some type of local scholar that our members would go to, and

00:36:40 --> 00:36:44

if not, then we could help facilitate that. Okay, I think it

00:36:44 --> 00:36:45

makes sense.

00:36:47 --> 00:36:51

For you have a national organization, that you got to keep

00:36:51 --> 00:36:56

the parameters very simple. You can't keep the parameters so

00:36:56 --> 00:37:02

strict, that at least I would say, for example, like, you're not

00:37:02 --> 00:37:06

there to be theologians, you're there to give Muslim support. So

00:37:06 --> 00:37:11

you're what you call Islam has to be the most basic thing. And if

00:37:11 --> 00:37:17

you want to dive and preach and ask questions, then you need to go

00:37:17 --> 00:37:19

somewhere else. So but you got to you got to basically keep it as

00:37:19 --> 00:37:24

broad as possible. I think the the, what a common person would

00:37:24 --> 00:37:27

know as what is a sunnah is what you'll be bound to. Because you're

00:37:27 --> 00:37:31

also you are responsible for your policies, right? You can't have

00:37:31 --> 00:37:35

the Haram and the Hebrew heretical, and just say, you know,

00:37:35 --> 00:37:38

a different interpretation, some interpretation has limits, right?

00:37:38 --> 00:37:41

No one can say, my interpretations that pork is actually okay.

00:37:42 --> 00:37:46

There's gonna be some limits. So basically, your limit is what is

00:37:46 --> 00:37:47

explicit

00:37:48 --> 00:37:52

text, and we're not going to get into interpretations. That seems

00:37:52 --> 00:37:55

to make a lot of sense to me. So it's fair to say that's your

00:37:55 --> 00:37:56

policy on that.

00:37:57 --> 00:38:00

Good, because some people might want to know, you know, what am I

00:38:00 --> 00:38:05

getting involved in? And would you say that networking is the most

00:38:05 --> 00:38:06

the biggest part of it?

00:38:08 --> 00:38:12

I would say brotherhood would come before networking, but networking,

00:38:12 --> 00:38:16

okay, good. Big part of it, like from both a professional and just

00:38:16 --> 00:38:19

a general, like, I can go like Hamdallah throughout the country.

00:38:19 --> 00:38:23

And I will find someone from ALM there. And what's nice is we all

00:38:23 --> 00:38:26

have a shared experience. When you join the fraternity, there's a

00:38:26 --> 00:38:29

baseline there to where I'll meet someone for the first time. And

00:38:29 --> 00:38:32

it's as if I've known in my entire life, because I know they've been

00:38:32 --> 00:38:34

through a very similar experience as me and they share similar

00:38:34 --> 00:38:36

principles to myself.

00:38:37 --> 00:38:38

Very good.

00:38:39 --> 00:38:41

And when it comes to professional networking, like we do have

00:38:41 --> 00:38:45

events, we do have, you know, a lot of our alumni are, you know,

00:38:45 --> 00:38:49

either directors, presidents, vice presidents in different companies

00:38:49 --> 00:38:52

and corporations. So like if I need to tap into someone from

00:38:52 --> 00:38:56

Microsoft, or stripe or whatever organization, it may be, either

00:38:56 --> 00:38:59

we'll know someone or we'll know someone who knows someone really

00:38:59 --> 00:39:02

impressive, really impressive. That's really that's really good.

00:39:02 --> 00:39:05

Actually. You have a Rolodex, as soon as you join in, you got a

00:39:05 --> 00:39:08

relative. Most people don't know what a Rolodex is. Now, it's just

00:39:08 --> 00:39:12

used as a word, but nobody knows what the thing is. So the

00:39:13 --> 00:39:16

account contact list we can now say, right, yeah, but immediately

00:39:16 --> 00:39:19

have a contact list. You get internships, you get all these

00:39:19 --> 00:39:22

other things. And every year it grows and grows and grows. So it's

00:39:22 --> 00:39:25

a great idea. Now, here's a question for you. You guys got to

00:39:25 --> 00:39:27

penetrate the East Coast.

00:39:28 --> 00:39:33

Chicago, yes, Dallas. Yes. You got two in Dallas, which is good. Or

00:39:33 --> 00:39:36

you got Austin two in Texas. That's great. But you guys got to

00:39:36 --> 00:39:39

penetrate the East Coast. What's going on here?

00:39:42 --> 00:39:45

Well, you're right, we do we do and we should.

00:39:46 --> 00:39:47

Rutgers will be your biggest one.

00:39:49 --> 00:39:53

Inshallah, I think like a little bit of a serious note. It's it's

00:39:53 --> 00:39:57

the consistency that we're really for. So if there is someone on the

00:39:57 --> 00:40:00

East Coast that is interested in opening up an ale

00:40:00 --> 00:40:03

One chapter more than welcome. Do so. Right. But it's like Allah

00:40:03 --> 00:40:07

loves the small consistent deeds more than the bigger ones. Right?

00:40:07 --> 00:40:10

Are you consistent with you know, your brotherhood? Are you showing

00:40:10 --> 00:40:14

up? Are you accountable? Do you communicate? Well, a lot of times

00:40:14 --> 00:40:17

a lot of these universities fail in the colonization process

00:40:17 --> 00:40:21

because you don't have that sustainability. colonization

00:40:21 --> 00:40:23

process. colonization. See now it's

00:40:28 --> 00:40:31

an incubation Yeah, referred to as that.

00:40:33 --> 00:40:35

These fraternities have been around for hundreds of years. And

00:40:35 --> 00:40:39

so that's, that's our intention when we established a chapter at

00:40:39 --> 00:40:42

the university. And so the structure and everything needs to

00:40:42 --> 00:40:47

be, you know, set in stone for that chapter to continue being a

00:40:47 --> 00:40:50

chapter. How many members you have no right now,

00:40:51 --> 00:40:56

including alumni, I think around 700 nations. That's great. So now

00:40:56 --> 00:40:57

when I when I came,

00:41:00 --> 00:41:04

when I remember, it used to be called Elif Lam. Meem. Correct?

00:41:04 --> 00:41:09

I'm sure then somebody said no. As a verse of Quran, right? Is that

00:41:09 --> 00:41:11

what happened? Exactly? The became LM?

00:41:12 --> 00:41:13

No.

00:41:14 --> 00:41:18

What happened? Exactly? It's there. They're kind of synonymous,

00:41:18 --> 00:41:23

we we still use both. Okay. But in the in the, in the university

00:41:23 --> 00:41:26

Greek context, we'll use the Greek letters because they have the

00:41:26 --> 00:41:30

official councils that when you join on the university campus,

00:41:30 --> 00:41:32

which is alpha, lambda, mu,

00:41:34 --> 00:41:34

what's the

00:41:35 --> 00:41:39

mu? Mu? Okay, good. Because I never studied the Greek alphabet,

00:41:39 --> 00:41:39

believe it or not.

00:41:42 --> 00:41:46

I ever needed to. Yeah, it's some some schools. They used to teach

00:41:46 --> 00:41:47

Latin, right.

00:41:49 --> 00:41:52

And those kids always had a head start, or they were always better

00:41:52 --> 00:41:55

in vocab and everything else. Because you know, half the

00:41:55 --> 00:41:58

language is based in Latin. The other half is based in

00:41:59 --> 00:42:03

German half of English. All right, so what else you want to tell

00:42:03 --> 00:42:08

everybody here about? About your? You want to tell us some stories?

00:42:08 --> 00:42:10

What are some interesting stories that happened that would make

00:42:10 --> 00:42:13

someone say, oh, my gosh, I never had anything like that I want to

00:42:13 --> 00:42:14

join.

00:42:15 --> 00:42:19

I might, if you're cool with that, I'll start with one. A lot of

00:42:19 --> 00:42:23

things in this is like normal. It's like a trope for fraternities

00:42:23 --> 00:42:27

is like the whole secrecy aspect of it. What is it called? secrecy,

00:42:27 --> 00:42:28

secrecy, secrecy, okay.

00:42:29 --> 00:42:33

Behind closed doors, things like that, yeah, the way we apply it

00:42:33 --> 00:42:37

is, it's the ability to be able to confide into someone,

00:42:38 --> 00:42:42

the process of them didn't put his private matters into the public,

00:42:42 --> 00:42:46

and we live in a society where everything is put out there. And

00:42:46 --> 00:42:50

again, the process of them was a private person himself, able to

00:42:50 --> 00:42:54

travel, for example, anywhere in the nation, stay with someone and

00:42:54 --> 00:42:57

know that I can trust them based on our shared ideals. You know,

00:42:57 --> 00:43:00

it's great people are free to express themselves, however,

00:43:00 --> 00:43:02

which, you know, however, you know, however, however they want

00:43:02 --> 00:43:07

to, so, without going too much into specifics, we've had times

00:43:07 --> 00:43:09

where like a brother would come to us with like, a really pressing

00:43:09 --> 00:43:13

issue, right, where it's like, you know, genuinely life or death,

00:43:13 --> 00:43:17

right, or use of situation or it's, I'm trying to get married,

00:43:17 --> 00:43:20

but I'm going through XYZ heard block struggles, whatever it may

00:43:20 --> 00:43:24

be. So being able to go into just to confide and have like a best

00:43:24 --> 00:43:25

friend,

00:43:26 --> 00:43:29

readily available now, like, you know, put some time on someone's

00:43:29 --> 00:43:31

calendar, and they'll get back to you type know, like, I if I text

00:43:31 --> 00:43:34

him or call him at three o'clock in the morning saying, Hey, I have

00:43:34 --> 00:43:38

a flat tire. People show up, right? Someone hit Amago, like,

00:43:38 --> 00:43:41

Okay, I'm coming, and they'll come in, like five, six guys who heard

00:43:41 --> 00:43:45

that I'm in need will pull up. So being able to have a resource like

00:43:45 --> 00:43:50

that may not get nationwide, to me is like, it's a beautiful thing.

00:43:51 --> 00:43:56

But going back to secrecy, it's like if you aren't able to confide

00:43:56 --> 00:44:00

into someone, how can I ask you for help? Or how can I ask you for

00:44:00 --> 00:44:02

help without worrying if you're gonna put on Instagram or Tiktok?

00:44:02 --> 00:44:08

Or whatever? Yeah. So that's really good, really, source of

00:44:08 --> 00:44:12

brotherhood. And Samba is basically one of the biggest

00:44:13 --> 00:44:17

features of our religion hence, the people in the first generation

00:44:17 --> 00:44:21

are called Sahaba. Because they were always in the company of the

00:44:21 --> 00:44:23

messenger peace be upon him

00:44:24 --> 00:44:27

as a result of that his state affected them.

00:44:28 --> 00:44:32

And they grew they grew from that and so today we still live in that

00:44:32 --> 00:44:35

world where we need to constantly be in good company. So I like this

00:44:35 --> 00:44:36

it's really good.

00:44:38 --> 00:44:42

What else do we have to do want to say if anything else that

00:44:43 --> 00:44:49

you want to share with everybody about the fraternity and how grows

00:44:49 --> 00:44:49

etc.

00:44:56 --> 00:44:59

I think it's important to mention that

00:45:01 --> 00:45:05

When you take a step towards joining this fraternity and you

00:45:05 --> 00:45:09

get through a process and you go through initiation and you become

00:45:09 --> 00:45:10

an active member,

00:45:12 --> 00:45:13

your

00:45:14 --> 00:45:18

priority start to change and your perspective starts to change.

00:45:20 --> 00:45:24

You know, the previous 18 to 20 years of your life, every decision

00:45:24 --> 00:45:27

that you make sort of the purpose of yourself, or benefiting

00:45:27 --> 00:45:28

yourself in some way.

00:45:29 --> 00:45:34

And when you're committed in an organization, like not just you

00:45:34 --> 00:45:37

know, coming and going, but you're committed lifelong to an

00:45:37 --> 00:45:42

organization, the experiences that you have there, say we get into an

00:45:42 --> 00:45:47

argument or, or we disagree on something, we're still committed

00:45:47 --> 00:45:50

to that organization, and we're, and we're forced to be there. So

00:45:51 --> 00:45:54

in those situations, we overcome our differences. And the unity is

00:45:54 --> 00:46:00

what is a priority. And so I think when a deal mentions, like if

00:46:00 --> 00:46:03

someone is in trouble at 2am, and we're all sitting at home, there's

00:46:03 --> 00:46:07

like three guys that respond. In order to get to that point, it

00:46:07 --> 00:46:11

takes a lot of work. Yeah, I think the natural response is to come up

00:46:11 --> 00:46:14

with an excuse saying sorry, I'm busy, when really, I'm just

00:46:14 --> 00:46:18

scrolling on social media. But for your, for your mind and your heart

00:46:18 --> 00:46:21

to be calibrated to point where you're like, you see that you're

00:46:21 --> 00:46:27

like, I need to go. Yep. is I think one of the most important

00:46:27 --> 00:46:29

aspects of the fraternity. Yeah.

00:46:30 --> 00:46:33

And that's gonna take so many different experiences together.

00:46:34 --> 00:46:38

Yeah. And the best place to have that is through college. Now, when

00:46:38 --> 00:46:43

someone joins a fraternity, doesn't that campus need a space?

00:46:44 --> 00:46:47

Usually frats they have a house? Don't you need a space? Like,

00:46:47 --> 00:46:48

where do you hang out?

00:46:50 --> 00:46:54

You find places it would be, it'd be great to have a frat house in

00:46:54 --> 00:46:56

the shallow you know, that's in the plans.

00:46:58 --> 00:47:01

Given, you know, we're 10 years and Inshallah, in the next few

00:47:01 --> 00:47:05

years, we'll start focusing on Yeah, like, even if, even if it's

00:47:05 --> 00:47:11

a rented apartment. Yeah, right. That the whole that if every frat

00:47:11 --> 00:47:17

member put in five bucks a month, that's five times 700. That's,

00:47:17 --> 00:47:20

that's probably the rent for the month, especially where the rent

00:47:20 --> 00:47:24

is low, like, Wisconsin 3500, you could buy a whole house three to

00:47:24 --> 00:47:29

500 bucks in Wisconsin, right? So they should be the first ones to

00:47:29 --> 00:47:32

have a property. But even if just even if you just rented a space,

00:47:32 --> 00:47:37

right? And if you join the frat, you get a discounted rent. Right?

00:47:38 --> 00:47:40

And you all live in that apartment? That is not a great

00:47:40 --> 00:47:40

idea.

00:47:42 --> 00:47:47

Yeah, and it does happen. It happens organically, a lot of

00:47:47 --> 00:47:47

places

00:47:48 --> 00:47:52

will have a member or two that are sharing an apartment together. And

00:47:52 --> 00:47:55

that becomes a space or there'll be places on campus that that can

00:47:55 --> 00:47:57

just become a space for the guys to go.

00:47:58 --> 00:48:02

So it's not like one specific place and it changes throughout as

00:48:02 --> 00:48:06

people come and go. Yeah, because it would it would be also, you

00:48:06 --> 00:48:10

know, talking about trusting one another for the fret to be on the

00:48:10 --> 00:48:14

hook for you know, 12 months of rent.

00:48:15 --> 00:48:19

That's like, you know, people do a trustful forget to trustful,

00:48:19 --> 00:48:23

right. How about a trust bill? Right? Hey, the fret is getting

00:48:23 --> 00:48:28

our first apartment. All of us are responsible for its rent five

00:48:28 --> 00:48:33

bucks a month, times 700. That's $3,500. That's going to cover

00:48:33 --> 00:48:39

rent, right? And then on top of that, the student pays, you know,

00:48:39 --> 00:48:45

like $200 a month for rent. That's very cheap rent, right? And boom,

00:48:45 --> 00:48:46

now you have profit. No.

00:48:48 --> 00:48:53

I'm making money for you guys. It's a good idea. So yeah.

00:48:54 --> 00:48:59

Listen, I love the initiative. We need Samba groups wherever we go.

Alright, let's get let's continue reading

00:50:24 --> 00:50:29

what Carla Razi is done Vicki Toby assess it tuck this in Sedna.

00:50:29 --> 00:50:34

Remember Rosie says in the love the aina camera ujjal Alan Arnold

00:50:34 --> 00:50:39

McCann, it is a question of location. It is also a question of

00:50:39 --> 00:50:45

rank. Okay, where does he rank? All right. All right, in your

00:50:45 --> 00:50:49

world, where does he rank in your view? Where does he rank? So Hola,

00:50:49 --> 00:50:54

su li Niall McCann was so al Andelman Zilla what Daraja rank

00:50:55 --> 00:50:57

your Carlo Aina full admin for LAN.

00:51:07 --> 00:51:09

whatever? Like where do you rank?

00:51:12 --> 00:51:17

mahomes in the quarterbacks of today, probably number one, right.

00:51:19 --> 00:51:24

And if we haven't fallen further, unless Ken Andelman Zilla, so it

00:51:24 --> 00:51:28

is possible. The fact that it's possible means that it's not an

00:51:28 --> 00:51:33

explicit text. That is the law. The fact that it's possible good

00:51:34 --> 00:51:37

is it's a question about Mandela. And as a result that opinion also

00:51:37 --> 00:51:42

be valid. Okay. I sought to be in a summit where he

00:51:43 --> 00:51:50

did very high rank, the sky indicates that Okay, next question

00:51:50 --> 00:51:54

with the Kitab a chameleon wall Lim sharks a Muslim Imam Mohammed

00:51:54 --> 00:51:55

Abdullah Khalifa

00:52:21 --> 00:52:25

again that normal snow to Muslims differ district differ

00:52:27 --> 00:52:29

the fact that

00:52:30 --> 00:52:32

any understanding

00:52:34 --> 00:52:36

that he is in a place is rejected.

00:52:38 --> 00:52:42

McArdle Imam Mohammed bin Ahmed A cerca CL Hanafi let's let's

00:52:42 --> 00:52:47

actually cite cloudy out exactly what he said. He said I'm in

00:52:48 --> 00:52:54

no no cardio yet when I lay set Allah vahidi It is not from the

00:52:54 --> 00:52:57

verses that are taken on its literal meaning Bell it is

00:52:57 --> 00:52:59

watershed. Okay

00:53:02 --> 00:53:09

next one, got an Imam Ahmed called Imam Mohammed bin Roxy al Hanafi

00:53:09 --> 00:53:10

Okay, Omar is pumped now.

00:53:13 --> 00:53:15

He said in his book Al mob suit

00:53:16 --> 00:53:17

in volume four.

00:53:20 --> 00:53:20

Part Seven

00:53:22 --> 00:53:28

for ml Hadith for Kadakia, Rafi baudry words, it has another

00:53:28 --> 00:53:33

narration and not Raju la kala Alia it's Karaca. But Mina, the

00:53:33 --> 00:53:35

man said to the Prophet peace be upon him I O.

00:53:37 --> 00:53:39

To free a slave I have to free a slave because of an oath he took

00:53:39 --> 00:53:41

or some other reason. Good.

00:53:43 --> 00:53:48

So, do is she is this slave girl a Muslim or not? So that if I free

00:53:48 --> 00:53:51

her, I fulfilled my will. So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa

00:53:51 --> 00:53:55

sallam asked her questions about what her belief is. Good.

00:53:57 --> 00:54:01

So it would make sense then that she doesn't here or something.

00:54:02 --> 00:54:06

Because otherwise why did not demand asker? Right? Why would it

00:54:06 --> 00:54:10

demand just that he? She's his slave, right? Why did he just ask

00:54:10 --> 00:54:10

her?

00:54:11 --> 00:54:15

All right, so the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam for

00:54:15 --> 00:54:18

Korean interview Scylla Lozano ain Allah for a shot at Illa Summit.

00:54:19 --> 00:54:23

Well, an avant be Rasulullah sallallahu is and who yell to the

00:54:23 --> 00:54:28

woman who didn't and youth bitter la hija wala mccannon where is

00:54:28 --> 00:54:31

your God? Where is the love to you? Is he one of these idols? Or

00:54:31 --> 00:54:32

is he

00:54:33 --> 00:54:38

the one God that we worship? So he says here, that He's not asking

00:54:38 --> 00:54:41

the location of Allah he says, Ask him what her religion is because

00:54:41 --> 00:54:44

the question is, is she a believer or not? Is she one of us Muslims

00:54:44 --> 00:54:50

who worship Allah, that is that we face the Kaaba and the Qibla of

00:54:50 --> 00:54:55

dua is the heavens or and we can say, we worship the one in the sky

00:54:55 --> 00:54:59

meaning the one who is the Qibla of

00:55:00 --> 00:55:04

have prayer to Him is the sky. Okay? The cupola of dA is the sky.

00:55:06 --> 00:55:11

Alright, I'm into Memphis sama and it is permissible to say, in my

00:55:11 --> 00:55:17

jazzy language for some meaning in loftiness in rank, alright. And

00:55:17 --> 00:55:21

his affair in terms of the work of angels happens in the sky it

00:55:21 --> 00:55:26

physically happens in the sky far above us. So this is what he's

00:55:26 --> 00:55:26

saying here.

00:55:28 --> 00:55:29

All right.

00:55:31 --> 00:55:34

And so he says it is not a Hoja because of all the possible

00:55:34 --> 00:55:37

meanings that it could have. This means motive Adela.

00:55:40 --> 00:55:44

By the way, again, I'm repeating again, the HANA biller that a 30

00:55:44 --> 00:55:47

year they're welcome to have their view and opinion on this

00:55:49 --> 00:55:53

and not that they need anyone's permission but we are not at war

00:55:53 --> 00:55:55

with their opinions we're just saying this is what the shadow

00:55:55 --> 00:55:59

have said called the Abu Bakar terminal aura be a portal to be no

00:55:59 --> 00:56:04

we even have Alaska and he called the Abu Bakr blobby says Al Murad

00:56:04 --> 00:56:11

and so early he l McKenna. All right. Well, men Zilla for in

00:56:11 --> 00:56:16

Macedonia saheeli is a location is incompatible with belief in Him.

00:56:19 --> 00:56:23

If needed Josie in his book deaf shuba at Ashby.

00:56:26 --> 00:56:29

By the way, it's Hadith and while we have an Al Hakim, cultural

00:56:29 --> 00:56:34

conservator in the OMA and Allah to Allah layer we sum up all

00:56:34 --> 00:56:39

right, we it is established that the skies cannot contain Allah

00:56:39 --> 00:56:41

subhanaw taala right.

00:57:39 --> 00:57:40

he is up there.

00:57:41 --> 00:57:44

O'Connell below we love him yet it will lamb unit

del lamb unit B or the Jasmine here is actually had farfel Ella

00:57:55 --> 00:57:57

rather than you read unit

00:57:58 --> 00:58:01

00:58:04 --> 00:58:10

00:58:10 --> 00:58:14

Allah mean and yes, Allah VALIC right.

00:58:15 --> 00:58:19

ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada who's good Blitzer dA is the heavens

00:58:25 --> 00:58:26

to be a dentist so

00:58:31 --> 00:58:37

he replied to Josie on this. He says a Melco LUFA kolu sallallahu

00:58:37 --> 00:58:41

alayhi wa sallam lil geria in Allah Allah for summer he will cut

Maru for la de Bella who then they know how the Rajamouli and who

00:58:49 --> 00:58:54

Masha Allah Allah Buddha attained Leia Caballo Kira, okay, so that's

00:58:54 --> 00:59:01

a polemic and a jab at YBNL claim. And we don't want to get into the

00:59:01 --> 00:59:04

argumentation of the old lemma. We're just presenting the sad

00:59:04 --> 00:59:07

opinion about this good

00:59:19 --> 00:59:21

if I can see what it is that

00:59:22 --> 00:59:28

I had them say to the judge. It's not a Hoja because it has many

00:59:28 --> 00:59:33

different meanings possibility of as for trying to establish that it

00:59:33 --> 00:59:38

means his location. Good. Fell barahi and we'll call him a

00:59:38 --> 00:59:42

Phaeton Azula he SubhanaHu Annen McCann will McCann yet

00:59:43 --> 00:59:48

was the man was the man yet? Allah subhanaw taala Trent is said that

00:59:48 --> 00:59:53

he is transcendent or affirms his transcendence beyond time and

00:59:53 --> 00:59:58

space, put it in a meme. Murph is summer word he will call in cooler

00:59:59 --> 00:59:59

who

01:00:00 --> 01:00:04

Is is everything in the heavens on Earth who says it? It is Allah's

01:00:05 --> 01:00:08

were them wish I'd be n and McCann, coulomb a fee molecule

01:00:08 --> 01:00:13

Allah. Everything in the skies is the property of Allah.

01:00:14 --> 01:00:16

God it's Allah Allah Houma second effing Laila,

01:00:18 --> 01:00:22

anything that exists in the day and the night, which is everything

01:00:23 --> 01:00:27

is his, without, again due to Allah and Zima. And what Kulu

01:00:27 --> 01:00:32

Murphy moleculer time, night and day, night and day,

01:00:33 --> 01:00:34

everything in time is his.

01:00:38 --> 01:00:42

For her 10 and a 10, these two verses indicate that time and

01:00:42 --> 01:00:43

space,

01:00:44 --> 01:00:52

all of it is in the possession of Allah. And that indicates that he

01:00:52 --> 01:00:55

is transcendent beyond time and space.

01:00:56 --> 01:00:59

I think that's enough for reading this for now, I guess we got our

01:00:59 --> 01:01:03

point across sometimes our live stream covers needs to cover

01:01:03 --> 01:01:07

secondary questions, such as this hadith.

01:01:09 --> 01:01:12

So that you can really be aware and have an idea of what's the

01:01:12 --> 01:01:15

ultimate have said about it. And we do that and I repeat it again,

01:01:15 --> 01:01:17

without any intent

01:01:18 --> 01:01:20

to establish argumentation.

01:01:21 --> 01:01:26

And I don't follow the doctrine or the or the or the sorry, the the

01:01:26 --> 01:01:28

saying, I don't follow that

01:01:29 --> 01:01:30

idea that

01:01:32 --> 01:01:34

we should never talk about these things. I think that's the

01:01:34 --> 01:01:38

opposite. We should always talk about things that

01:01:39 --> 01:01:42

that do come up in people's mind and do come up

01:01:45 --> 01:01:49

in conversation, right? It's far better to talk about these things

01:01:49 --> 01:01:56

rather than just try to never discuss them. Right? You're not

01:01:56 --> 01:01:58

going to really succeed. When you

01:01:59 --> 01:02:01

just say well, let's just not talk about everything.

01:02:04 --> 01:02:09

Amar says fibula of the sky, did I get that right? Yes. Just as the

01:02:09 --> 01:02:13

people of sulla Where does our chests and our face direct to the

01:02:13 --> 01:02:17

Kaaba, right, the table of door is the sky

01:02:18 --> 01:02:21

as a man duped so that doesn't mean that when you make all you

01:02:21 --> 01:02:25

have to do this, you can look down to your hands know, within

01:02:25 --> 01:02:27

humility, nothing, no problems to that

01:02:35 --> 01:02:40

I repeat again for everybody. Go to lock Cosina 367 dot org, it's

01:02:40 --> 01:02:45

in need of a little boost. The Wednesday dinners the organization

01:02:45 --> 01:02:48

as a whole is a need for a little bit of a boost. A little kick in

01:02:48 --> 01:02:51

the pants and that kick in the pants is going to come from you.

01:02:51 --> 01:02:52

Okay,

01:02:53 --> 01:02:54

so

01:02:57 --> 01:03:02

lacO Cena 367 dot O R G The best thing is the

01:03:03 --> 01:03:08

the recurring donations but one time we'll do the trick to what

01:03:08 --> 01:03:11

smalux opinion on vigilantism. It's completely forbidden

01:03:11 --> 01:03:14

rebellion against the rulers from completely forbidden the meaning

01:03:14 --> 01:03:17

of the Hadith, the prophetic Hadith that

01:03:20 --> 01:03:24

lithotomy McLogan female theatre hall there is no obedience to the

01:03:24 --> 01:03:25

creation

01:03:26 --> 01:03:28

when it's in,

01:03:29 --> 01:03:32

in the disobedience of the Creator, okay.

01:03:35 --> 01:03:41

It means in that specific order, doesn't mean we slough off our

01:03:41 --> 01:03:45

allegiance to him in his statement. So I have a Muslim

01:03:45 --> 01:03:50

ruler today. And he comes up to me and he says, Listen, I need you

01:03:50 --> 01:03:51

to,

01:03:53 --> 01:03:54

to go to this club.

01:03:55 --> 01:03:57

And I need you to

01:04:00 --> 01:04:04

you start giving dower in the club with alcohol and women and all

01:04:04 --> 01:04:07

that stuff. I say to him, No, that's forbidden. I'm not doing

01:04:07 --> 01:04:13

it. Simple as that. And he says, I'm your ruler. I said NIV Allah

01:04:13 --> 01:04:15

was the first ruler, right?

01:04:16 --> 01:04:19

So he said, Are you rebelling against me? No, I'm not rebelling

01:04:19 --> 01:04:21

against you. You're You're the king still I don't have no problem

01:04:21 --> 01:04:26

with that. But I'm not doing this. So it means in this specific

01:04:26 --> 01:04:30

matter you don't obey Him but rebellion is not permitted for us.

01:04:30 --> 01:04:33

So oh my god what's going on? Why don't you have the other picture?

01:04:33 --> 01:04:35

It looks good. You don't like it?

01:04:36 --> 01:04:37

The campus

01:04:39 --> 01:04:42

was another oh the picture on the inside? Okay.

01:04:43 --> 01:04:48

All my work hard at work making thumbnails the thumbnail making

01:04:48 --> 01:04:48

machine.

01:04:50 --> 01:04:50

Get?

01:04:51 --> 01:04:56

Nah, I'm good. I'm dilla had too much caffeine today. By the way,

01:04:56 --> 01:04:59

I'm off coffee and haven't left for the enrich up did it

01:05:00 --> 01:05:04

Before sharp and even how do you do it? Since reg up started, I

01:05:04 --> 01:05:08

only been drinking tea in the morning, Desi Chai, you know that.

01:05:09 --> 01:05:13

So it's caffeine is enough but less and then the trick is when

01:05:13 --> 01:05:13

you're

01:05:16 --> 01:05:18

doing having to have a little bit of caffeine

01:05:21 --> 01:05:25

Why is it forbidden to look up while in prayer? Because the

01:05:25 --> 01:05:30

Sunnah is to look straight and the Prophet forbade looking up. Why

01:05:30 --> 01:05:33

did he forbidden looking up? Allah knows best so that you could look

01:05:33 --> 01:05:36

straight. That's it. You should look straight or down. Where

01:05:36 --> 01:05:39

you're mixing jute on to opinions of the jurists

01:05:40 --> 01:05:44

your your thoughts on Mohammed Dibner shamsudeen who's acting a

01:05:44 --> 01:05:47

lot like that never even heard of him. Who is he Omar?

01:05:48 --> 01:05:49

Never even heard him.

01:05:51 --> 01:05:56

No, CMC is the opposite of that. He's more on the medical side of

01:05:56 --> 01:06:00

things. Muhammad Adnan shamsudeen. Never even heard of him. I see him

01:06:00 --> 01:06:04

now almost pulled them up online, but I heard him question for you.

01:06:05 --> 01:06:08

Here's another question. Do you choose a method before setting

01:06:08 --> 01:06:12

art? No, not at all. Jonnie. When you join art, you were not going

01:06:12 --> 01:06:14

to ask you what your method is you watch any video that you want.

01:06:15 --> 01:06:20

There's basic essentials. And there's plus, also known as basic

01:06:23 --> 01:06:29

don't forget to like, share, and subscribe so that you can get

01:06:29 --> 01:06:30

notifications.

01:06:32 --> 01:06:35

Is it possible that Allah tests us with something we cannot bear?

01:06:36 --> 01:06:40

Okay, the answer, we don't worry about the nature of the test, we

01:06:40 --> 01:06:45

only worry about what is Has Allah commanded us to do okay. And we

01:06:45 --> 01:06:49

say that the Sharia is always bearable.

01:06:50 --> 01:06:53

So for example, if Allah subhanaw taala

01:06:55 --> 01:06:58

tests you with a very difficult parent

01:06:59 --> 01:07:02

who asks you to do very difficult things.

01:07:04 --> 01:07:05

Right?

01:07:06 --> 01:07:08

Ask you to do very difficult things.

01:07:14 --> 01:07:18

This does the Cydia change. And in that say that you don't have to

01:07:18 --> 01:07:24

obey them? Well, we have to ask if it's physically detrimental to

01:07:24 --> 01:07:29

your body, or forbidden in your religion. Okay. And you're still a

01:07:29 --> 01:07:31

dependent upon them in their home.

01:07:33 --> 01:07:34

Then you don't have to do them.

01:07:35 --> 01:07:38

Your mom says to you, I don't want you fasting, I want you to take in

01:07:38 --> 01:07:39

the medical school exam.

01:07:42 --> 01:07:46

You disobey her you have to disobey her. Your dad says I don't

01:07:46 --> 01:07:48

want you praying fetch in the morning you should sleep so that

01:07:48 --> 01:07:49

you can study? No,

01:07:51 --> 01:07:56

you disobey Him. Or your mom says to you, I need you to go out and

01:07:58 --> 01:08:04

to become tough. You go out and snow and shovel snow with a T

01:08:04 --> 01:08:10

shirt on only you're going to get the flu. The Cydia itself says you

01:08:10 --> 01:08:14

disobey in that case, you don't go and harm yourself. Let's go big

01:08:14 --> 01:08:19

competitor look. So the question is, should not be should be. What

01:08:19 --> 01:08:23

is the Sharia regarding this test? All right. What is it? Should I

01:08:23 --> 01:08:27

say regarding this? If now you come to me and you say hey, my 13

01:08:27 --> 01:08:31

year old kid, every day, my mom makes me do like an hour of

01:08:31 --> 01:08:32

chores.

01:08:34 --> 01:08:37

And I never have time to relax. We say that you have to have somebody

01:08:37 --> 01:08:40

with you. But you are allowed to talk to her. You're allowed to ask

01:08:40 --> 01:08:44

an uncle or a grandparent to soften up. Okay.

01:08:46 --> 01:08:48

30 minutes of chores is enough, let's say.

01:08:49 --> 01:08:51

So, the shear

01:08:52 --> 01:08:57

is allowing you to talk. It's allowing you to ask your mom to

01:08:57 --> 01:09:01

decrease the chores. So, but other than that, you still have to have

01:09:01 --> 01:09:05

patience. Yeah, you would have to have patience with that. Now,

01:09:05 --> 01:09:10

here's another question. My mom told me divorce this woman. She

01:09:10 --> 01:09:13

looked at me out of the way like the way she looked at me divorce

01:09:13 --> 01:09:16

her. No, you don't have to obey that.

01:09:18 --> 01:09:22

Your mom says I'm extremely sick find a time take me to the doctor.

01:09:22 --> 01:09:26

You have to obey that. You say Mom, I got two jobs. I got seven

01:09:26 --> 01:09:29

kids. Doesn't make a difference. You find a time

01:09:30 --> 01:09:33

to take it out of your sleep take it out of your vacation time.

01:09:33 --> 01:09:39

Okay, so the question should be the belief is that the shitty I

01:09:39 --> 01:09:43

will never demand from you. Something you cannot bear.

01:09:44 --> 01:09:47

Alright, young men not allowed to look at *.

01:09:48 --> 01:09:52

All butts everywhere. Can't resist it. Yes, you can resist it. You

01:09:52 --> 01:09:53

can resist it.

01:09:54 --> 01:09:55

Even if you fall into it, you make tob

01:09:57 --> 01:09:59

Alright, so that's the meaning of low calorie food.

01:10:00 --> 01:10:03

long enough Scintilla what it is that Allah does not test you. He

01:10:03 --> 01:10:06

doesn't he does not It's not that he doesn't test you with what you

01:10:06 --> 01:10:09

cannot bear. That's an incorrect he doesn't hold you liable for

01:10:09 --> 01:10:10

what you cannot bear.

01:10:11 --> 01:10:15

I'm traveling, and I need to pray. Oh, you short and and combined?

01:10:16 --> 01:10:18

I'm sick. Don't fast.

01:10:19 --> 01:10:22

That's what we're talking about here. So it's not does Allah test

01:10:22 --> 01:10:25

you with more than you can bear with what you can't bear?

01:10:26 --> 01:10:30

Its does does he obligate you the test is not to be judged.

01:10:32 --> 01:10:36

The Sharia is what will judge the sacred law?

01:10:37 --> 01:10:41

What is the sacred law regarding a very difficult boss, get another

01:10:41 --> 01:10:44

job? Right? You get another I don't have to obey you.

01:10:45 --> 01:10:47

Okay, I don't have to obey you.

01:10:49 --> 01:10:52

I'll quit and get another job. I'll resign and get another job.

01:10:53 --> 01:10:53

All right.

01:10:54 --> 01:10:58

Or my only skill set is to be a bartender.

01:10:59 --> 01:11:03

Well, it's haram. So yeah, that's your test. And you can bear that

01:11:03 --> 01:11:06

test. Because Allah has forbade it.

01:11:07 --> 01:11:09

I mean, a guy for 30 years, he's been a bartender his whole life,

01:11:09 --> 01:11:11

my only skill set is to be a bartender, and now I became

01:11:11 --> 01:11:13

Muslim. What do I do? Well,

01:11:14 --> 01:11:18

we wouldn't have said anything in your first year of Islam, or the

01:11:18 --> 01:11:21

first period of time in Islam. But now that you asked, we have told

01:11:21 --> 01:11:25

you the truth, you can be a bartender is a big test. Okay, you

01:11:25 --> 01:11:26

can pass this test.

01:11:27 --> 01:11:31

Because if it's sacred law, and it's accurate knowledge,

01:11:32 --> 01:11:36

you can pass the test. I hope I made it clear. Cache says Can a

01:11:36 --> 01:11:40

woman travel without maharam For the sake of girls only holiday?

01:11:42 --> 01:11:48

Is how a Pentagon says is monarchy an Islamic cache? Automata? Yes,

01:11:48 --> 01:11:53

Amara Yes. But trip to Las Vegas trip down to Florida down to

01:11:53 --> 01:11:59

Miami, you know, spend a couple days in LA, in the stomach schools

01:11:59 --> 01:12:03

of thought of all said you need a Muharram to travel. Some said the

01:12:03 --> 01:12:06

distance of a day in the night and some said travelers distance. But

01:12:06 --> 01:12:10

in general traveling of a woman is with a Muharram has to have a

01:12:10 --> 01:12:13

Muharram with her. And you see, there's a lot of stuff that

01:12:13 --> 01:12:17

happens to people. And even if nothing happened to people, the

01:12:17 --> 01:12:21

rule would stent, if nothing no harm if it fell 10 years past, and

01:12:21 --> 01:12:24

women traveled all by themselves. And not a single woman was

01:12:24 --> 01:12:26

accosted or harmed.

01:12:27 --> 01:12:30

Nor did it affect a single household and everyone was happily

01:12:30 --> 01:12:31

married, the rule would stay the same.

01:12:33 --> 01:12:37

Thank you. That's just the rule. You can look for wisdoms or you

01:12:37 --> 01:12:40

could not look for wisdom. So this is the rule that the prophets had

01:12:40 --> 01:12:40

done.

01:12:43 --> 01:12:45

But I'm sure that if you look you'll find a lot of wisdom. And

01:12:46 --> 01:12:50

here's another question, Adam and 70. Someone applying the hadoo

01:12:50 --> 01:12:53

like an individual who gives 100 lashes instead of the state

01:12:53 --> 01:12:58

forbidden? Only the ruler of a country. The legitimate recognized

01:12:58 --> 01:13:00

ruler of a country can apply Whoa, dude.

01:13:01 --> 01:13:05

No, if you if we said yes to that, then what have they committed

01:13:05 --> 01:13:08

murder? Alright, are we gonna kill him? No.

01:13:10 --> 01:13:14

No, let's do that. They make Toba instead, and they do good deeds to

01:13:14 --> 01:13:17

get themselves forgiven. What are we gonna say? Oh my god. What is

01:13:17 --> 01:13:21

this? Question here says is it permissible for women to dance?

01:13:22 --> 01:13:27

For husband and women gathering? Yes.

01:13:29 --> 01:13:33

Not just permissible. Maybe even men DUBH for the husband is

01:13:33 --> 01:13:34

permissible for the women.

01:13:38 --> 01:13:43

Is monarchy on Islamic? Yes, it's not Islamic to to give. It's not

01:13:43 --> 01:13:49

as it's not the sunnah to pass rule on just because someone's

01:13:49 --> 01:13:49

your son.

01:13:50 --> 01:13:55

The Sunnah is that the leaders of the society, the elders, the

01:13:55 --> 01:14:00

learned ones, they choose amongst themselves who was most worthy of

01:14:00 --> 01:14:07

following as a leader. So in that aspect, hereditary rule is not the

01:14:07 --> 01:14:14

Sunnah. However, if they do it and they establish power, right, then

01:14:14 --> 01:14:18

maybe that part of it was sinful, but the they're still legitimately

01:14:18 --> 01:14:22

to be followed their legitimate rulers, the transfer was not

01:14:22 --> 01:14:23

according to Sharia and Sunnah.

01:14:24 --> 01:14:30

You understand? But the there once they're in charge, it doesn't

01:14:30 --> 01:14:33

matter how they attained it. That's a separate question. So how

01:14:33 --> 01:14:37

the ruler attains his position is one question. What do they do

01:14:37 --> 01:14:43

afterwards? is another question. If they establish power, and

01:14:43 --> 01:14:48

they're clearly in charge, then we're obligated to submit to that

01:14:48 --> 01:14:52

power. As the ruler we can't rebel against. You understand?

01:15:06 --> 01:15:09

What's the best way to catch up on years worth of Miss prayers when

01:15:09 --> 01:15:11

they take two more questions going to wrap up early today?

01:15:12 --> 01:15:15

You pray every Salah two times

01:15:16 --> 01:15:18

and by the way, you don't pray any nephila

01:15:19 --> 01:15:23

Got you pray, but you can pray with you pray every Salah two

01:15:23 --> 01:15:28

times for the amount of years that you missed your prayer, and even a

01:15:28 --> 01:15:31

little extra to make absolutely sure that you covered all your

01:15:31 --> 01:15:34

Miss prayers. Is it so no more aka essential while traveling in

01:15:34 --> 01:15:37

Hanafy math method? Is it yes or no? When you're traveling?

01:15:39 --> 01:15:40

Yes, you do it is.

01:15:42 --> 01:15:46

Is wiping over the face with your hands after dua. So not yes, it's

01:15:46 --> 01:15:49

in telling me to do that. It's so not to do that for the land for

01:15:49 --> 01:15:53

lead lights and so NACA FIFA, it's been about a week since I stopped

01:15:53 --> 01:15:56

wearing niqab after several months of wearing it, it feels really

01:15:56 --> 01:15:59

weird and uncomfortable to not have it on. Can you give me any

01:15:59 --> 01:16:01

advice for adjusting?

01:16:02 --> 01:16:07

No adjusting time will adjust you time will adjust you went from one

01:16:09 --> 01:16:13

opinion that is valid and flip to another opinion that is valid and

01:16:13 --> 01:16:17

fit. So it'll just take time for that adjustment to take to occur.

01:16:18 --> 01:16:22

What's the joint what's the ruling on joining the Freemasons, their

01:16:22 --> 01:16:25

network is solid. I don't have enough knowledge on whether the

01:16:25 --> 01:16:28

Freemasons are truly actually Satan worshippers at the end of

01:16:28 --> 01:16:31

the day or not. So I can't tell you I don't know what they do.

01:16:31 --> 01:16:34

What if they do only highlight of things that are joining them as

01:16:34 --> 01:16:40

Khaled like joining Workers Union, right? If they do haram things,

01:16:40 --> 01:16:42

then those things you can't do.

01:16:44 --> 01:16:47

If a child is born deaf is obligation of celestial upon them

01:16:47 --> 01:16:51

yes, because they can be given the message by reading. Likewise, if

01:16:51 --> 01:16:55

someone's born blind, he's given all his message by listening. If

01:16:55 --> 01:16:58

the child is born blind and deaf, then there's no video applicable

01:16:58 --> 01:17:02

upon them. Even if like we have the example of Helen Keller, she's

01:17:02 --> 01:17:05

an exception that in the Sharia if you're born blind and deaf, you

01:17:05 --> 01:17:09

have no tech leaf. Even if you learn to communicate with the

01:17:09 --> 01:17:12

person that's sunnah for the man dude for them nephila For them,

01:17:13 --> 01:17:17

they have no tech leaf in the Sharia. And they in that case, we

01:17:17 --> 01:17:18

believe them and Jana,

01:17:20 --> 01:17:22

growing up as a Muslim in this day and age, I didn't know I could get

01:17:22 --> 01:17:26

married young. When I want went to university. I told my mom that I

01:17:26 --> 01:17:30

wanted to get married and engaged and she didn't let me Did my mom

01:17:30 --> 01:17:32

commit sin? I don't think so because there is audit and there

01:17:32 --> 01:17:37

is harm and benefit. So if the society deems that life is now so

01:17:37 --> 01:17:41

complicated that you can't get married at 16 for some reason the

01:17:41 --> 01:17:45

society deems that right, let's say hypothetically, well, it's not

01:17:45 --> 01:17:48

a hypothetical. That is the reality most people deem marriage

01:17:48 --> 01:17:52

at 1516 1718 to be still young. Does that mean that's the

01:17:52 --> 01:17:55

shittiest position? No, that's the Oath of the people. They could be

01:17:55 --> 01:18:00

wrong, right? I mean, today, we if you really want it to be you may

01:18:00 --> 01:18:05

be able to work it out. But you would still if you are dependent

01:18:05 --> 01:18:09

upon your mom and dad, you still have to obey them. Okay? If you're

01:18:09 --> 01:18:09

a dependent

01:18:11 --> 01:18:17

of them. Once your work and you live on your own, then they cannot

01:18:17 --> 01:18:18

tell you not to marry.

01:18:20 --> 01:18:24

They can stop your marriage is treated like a die in dire need,

01:18:24 --> 01:18:26

like food and water. They can't stop you from marrying.

01:18:28 --> 01:18:31

Likewise, a woman who's been married before got divorced her

01:18:31 --> 01:18:36

husband died then goes back to her father's house. He can't stop her

01:18:36 --> 01:18:41

from marrying. But he still has to be there with her as a Willie. He

01:18:41 --> 01:18:43

still has to be there with her in the process, but he can't stop

01:18:43 --> 01:18:46

her. el amo could be an FCN Walia

01:18:48 --> 01:18:52

What do you think about the people we're doing special prayers and

01:18:52 --> 01:18:56

things like that because today's marriage there's no special a bed

01:18:56 --> 01:19:01

for extra in marriage. Except education general stuffer but

01:19:01 --> 01:19:02

there's no set a bed for it.

01:19:04 --> 01:19:06

Ladies and gentlemen, we gotta go a lot of good questions here but

01:19:06 --> 01:19:10

we do have to go please don't forget like Cosina 367 dot o RG.

01:19:11 --> 01:19:14

Support us we need a little bit of a boost to Zakouma Lokeren

01:19:15 --> 01:19:18

Subhanak Allahumma Houma will be handy Kenosha. dunlea Illa Illa

01:19:18 --> 01:19:22

01:19:22 --> 01:19:25
