From Allah rasool Allah while early wasabi will matter, well
welcome everybody to the Safina society nothing but facts live
stream. And today we are on the summit of Timothy. But first, I
want to bring up a story here that is almost so bad that it's
hilarious. Okay, it's almost it's so bad. This story, that it's
almost funny.
But it really shows like how sad the situation has gotten in this
country from in terms of
entitlement and pampering kids to the point that objectivity is
going out the window. All right, you all see this dude?
Jay, you all see this?
This, this old man, this poor old guy. His name is matron Jones.
Maitland Jones. He's, he's an organic chemistry legend. And he
medical students out there, this is going to be on your radar, you
should probably you'll probably know him because his textbook is
the book in organic chemistry. Now who cares about organic chemistry?
Right? No, none of us. But what happened to him is that students
at NYU where he taught, he has been teaching for like 45 years.
He is a tenured professor. His book is the book on the subject
matter.
So what happened to this poor guy?
The students were failing organic chemistry. Well, if you know any
medical students, I think any one of us has been to msa, half the
MSA as medical students, right. And Organic Chem. This is the one
where this is the course where they weed you out. I remember
seeing kids, you know, completely nervous in organic chem fried out
and then just they they flew him out of medical school.
Well, a lot of people were failing his class. And that's what's
supposed to happen. You're supposed to weed out these kids
that aren't serious. They're not strong enough because this is the
medical field here. Right? This is the medical field you can't have
people messing up.
Well, Maitland Jones, despite his storied reputation, and his
tenure,
okay, and you've been rated as one of the coolest professors
in his high stake course. Okay.
It was too hard. The students were saying
the professor defended his standard the for the professor
thought This is nothing. So out of 350 students in a seminar or not a
seminar, but this massive course a seminar usually a smaller course
where they talk a lot. Well, 88 kids got together, and they wrote
a petition.
What's this petition all about? This petition is all about that
there's no extra credit. The course is too hard. And our dreams
of going to medical school have been
shattered, because we failed. This man's course. Dr. Jones course.
All right. Well, what happens he gets a call from the dean. And
first is I laugh it off like you right? You're protesting in
protest your grades, you get the grade that you earn discussion
over, right? Know, his Dean said, please extend a gentle but firm
hint on this to the students. And those who pay the tuition bills,
because this is a private school. And they totally rely on the
parents who are alumnus and all that stuff.
The University took the petition. Right, and began addressing it and
asking him
to make peace with the students.
Are we at war says Dr. Jones, they've got the grades, or they
didn't get the grades. What is so difficult about this? The deans he
says are going for some bottom line. And they want happy students
because that's really how the university progresses by having
happy students
get
In short, this this one unhappy chemistry class could be a case
study of the pressures on higher education as it tries to handle
its generation Z student body. So all this is fine. It's a bunch of
complaining no problem, but look where it reached. This August, Dr.
Jones ad for tenured who has a 1300 page textbook called Organic
Chemistry. It's now just fifth edition. He pioneered new methods
of instruction has been terminated. That got the guy
fired. Why? Because they asked for extra credit that the class is too
hard.
The dean said work with these students. He said No How is that
fair to all the other students?
For years
So I've been roasting students and the strong survive and the weak
die off and they don't join the medical profession they can be
anything else. It don't you want that for someone who's cutting
open your body or cutting open your kid's body. You want it kid
who got by on extra credit, or on
a protest. The school said that suggested wipe away all the bad
grades and start from scratch. What?
That's it, that's like died of corruption
when you do this, alright, so what about all the other kids? And why
not have a hearing where you can hear what the professor did and
said, Should universities ease pressure on students, many of whom
are still coping with the pandemic's effect on their mental
health and schooling? Oh, please.
Yeah, please. Um, no offense to anybody. But seriously, wouldn't
the restaurant owners and people who actually suffered financially
be the ones who could talk about suffering from the pandemic? What
did you suffer from?
And not to belittle anything but to the degree that your grade
should be doctored, then you shouldn't be in school, you should
be in a mental health institution at that point, not taking Organic
Chem, if the pandemic is what made you suffer so badly. Now, some
people are going to say, Oh, you're so harsh on the kids. It's
not harsh. There are there have got to be some standards here.
There have to be some standards, okay. Of what is, you know, a
calamity and what isn't?
How staying home a calamity, right? How should universities
response to these complaints by professors? And now here's the
question. They got this poor guy fired. All the other professors
are shaking in their boots. But during the crisis, they abandon
the guy.
They abandoned him during the crisis.
Now they realize, oh, shoot, it could be me next. It's the famous
story of I was killed the day the Red Bull was killed. So there's a
Red Bull, Black Bull and a white bull, famous old story.
So a wolf comes in. And he says, Let me he says, Hey, Red Bull. Let
me assign a Black Bull. Let me eat the Red Bull, and I get a white
bull. I'll spare you let me just eat the Red Bull. They all say
okay, as long as we're spared, right. And then after the Red Bull
is done, he goes to the Black Bull. He said, Let me eat the
white bull, and I'll spare you. He's alright, as long as I'm
spared.
And then he goes to the finally, who's left only the Black Bull
with no protection. So he says, Okay, well, you have no
protection. Now he eats him. And then the bull says I was eating
the day the Red Bull was eaten, which is the day that we
capitulate it to one of our own, get dragged in the mud and killed.
So
let's see what else happens here. Students were misreading exam
questions at an astonishing rate, said the grievant said they said
someone about this grievance grades fell as he reduced the
difficulty of his exams. Even he reduced it. But they still the
grades fell. The problem was exacerbated by the pandemic in the
last two years, the grades fell off a cliff. Now we see single
digit scores and even zeros on exams.
Is he making up new exams? Did organic chemistry change in two
years, or is just the student body is just weaker?
After several years of COVID learning loss, the students not
only didn't study, they didn't even know how to study said Dr.
Jones. After COVID They don't know how to study now maybe if the
students are all getting single digits, then something has to
happen. You probably and that probably means you have to divide
the course into two terms, and decrease the material per class.
Because we don't know how to study anymore. And
I've always wondered how do these kids with MacBooks and textbooks?
How does that work? How does a textbook even compete with the
MacBook? Now the textbook is on a PDF? How does that even compete?
How do you think I personally can't think if I have any device
next to me, and next to a book? There's no competition.
Okay, Dr. Jones, and two other professors taped the lectures so
students could watch them again over and over and over so the guy
isn't completely a world war two type of veteran that is you know,
busting everyone's chops and not caring. He's trying to work at it.
They sat there and they taped all the lectures 52 lectures of
organic chemistry. Dr. Jones said that he personally paid personally
five grant to have these videos made by the way he underpaid.
Okay, just from know someone who knows the video world's going to
charge a lot more.
Still, that wasn't enough. Well underpaid. That's good for him. He
got a good deal, I should say. And 2020 30 students out of 475 filed
a petition asking for help.
All right, so his assistant said the kids were struggling. They
didn't have good internet coverage at home all sorts of stuff.
Things really they didn't have good internet coverage. That's
sort of hard to believe in this day and age but fine. Let's pass
that.
The professor's assuage the students in an online town hall
meeting. Unbelievable. Let's have a town hall meeting because you're
failing. Alright, fine. The professors are still working with
the students. Then they have other problems. They're cheating because
the tests are all online. How do you measure this? How do you
govern this? You can't. So they're cheating.
So he pushed the grades down and notice egregious misconduct. And
they protested they were not given the grades that would allow them
to get into medical school. You're not given grades you earn grades,
right? See.
I'm not coming from times of a hard times. But I love the people
who came from the hard times and I believe in that method, right?
Pull yourself together. That's it discussion over Pull yourself
together. Figure out you have to make sacrifices if you want to
succeed and you're not succeeding, stop complaining about the
circumstances. They weren't coming to class he says because I can
count who's in the class that's how few the students work. They
weren't watching the videos because I can see the video count
number of the views so they're not studying Okay, that's why they
weren't able to answer the questions so it's not like he's
the only the guilty guy
and his classes too hard all of a sudden it's not the case.
Students could choose between two sections one was problem solving
the other was traditional lectures so he made yet another
for the students whatever you want to call it what is it accession
No.
exception or and conceded more to the students. Alright, students in
both sections created a group chat to share knowledge on the subject
and share problems
and but on the group meet chat is where all the venting happens and
there's not this not like all the Islamic schools and all the
organizations it's the WhatsApp chat where all the fitness starts.
People love fitness in WhatsApp, okay. Unbelievable. So these
WhatsApp chats and Group Me chats what is GroupMe? Right? It's
different than WhatsApp. Same thing basis. Students. Why is
that? What's the difference?
stamp is the same right? All right, so they go in whine and
complain. And all the Misha can begin from WhatsApp chats, were
very concerned about our scores and find that they're not an
accurate reflection of the time and effort put in the class. The
students criticized Dr. Jones decision to reduce the number of
midterms exams from three to two. Well, you're failing. That's why
he was flat, and is there a chance to compensate for lower grades.
They said that he had tried to conceal course averages, does he
have to tell you what everyone else got. He doesn't have to tell
you.
If you're just joining us, we're reading a story about an NYU
professor for over like 45 years that the students petitioned and
marched
against him and got him fired. And I'm looking at this and seeing
like that, a lot of people feel this is totally unfair. And it
reflects
a really bad concession by the adults to the Gen Z types.
The student students criticized Dr. Jones decision, blah, blah,
blah. And he said that he has a condescending and demeaning tone.
So
you need to be in the army.
I
should give you hugs, we urge you to realize the physician said that
a class with such high percentage of withdrawals and low grades has
failed to make students learning and well being a priority. your
well being is not my priority,
and reflects poorly on the chemistry department as well as
institution as a whole. There is some merit that if all your
students are suffering and that like there should be a bell curve,
not not a bell curve for grading, but naturally there should be a
bell curve, right? In the sense that a few people are amazing.
Most of the people are in the middle, and some people are at the
bottom. Right. But that just goes to show that you're effective to
the audience that you're you're listening to, or that's listening
to you. So there, there is some merit to the complaint. But the
University took it way beyond balance. All right. Dr. Jones said
an interview that he had reduced the number of exams because
University scheduled the first test date after six classes, which
is too soon. So he has a reason for everything he's doing. He's
not some kind of tyrant out there. Why would he benefit from that? On
the accusation that he concealed course average
Just he said they were impossible to provide because 25% of the
grade relies on lab scores and a final lab test. But the students
were otherwise aware of all their grades. Oh, the students wanted
course averages for themselves. Okay, I see. As for zoom access,
he said technology in the lecture hall made it impossible to record
his whiteboard problems.
Zecharia benslimane Looks like a Muslim here. Maybe he is Jewish.
Moroccan for sure. a teaching assistant doesn't make a
difference what his deen is, but I'm just noting that as a name,
because it's not normal to see that type of name in New York
Times. But
he's a teaching assistant and a problem solving section of the
course he defended Dr. Jones, he says I think an email he wrote to
the university, the petition was more out of unhappiness with exam
scores than an actual true feeling of being treated unfairly, says
Mr. benslimane, now a PhD student at Harvard, so obviously he did
pretty good in Mr Jones's class, I have noticed that many of the
students who consistently complaint thank you for using the
word complaints. I hate these whiners.
They complained about the class did not use the resources we
afforded them.
Ryan Xu, who took the course, said that he found Dr. Jones, likeable
and inspiring. This is a big lecture course. And it also has
the reputation of being a weed out class. Of course, these humongous
lecture courses, the teacher is not going to get to know
everybody. He's only going to get to know the people who go to
office hours or who sit in the front.
Right? There are people who will not get the best grades. Some of
the comments might have been very heavily influenced by what grade
the student got. Other students though seem shell shocked from the
experience in interview several of them said Dr. Jones was keen to
help students who ask questions, but that he could also be
sarcastic and downbeat about the classes poor performance. What do
you want cheerleaders, that's what they want. See, these people have
they don't know the old school generation. These people grew up
in World War Two when their dads went to World War One.
That's just from historical sociological perspective, these
guys are going to come out a bit tougher. And you're lucky you
wouldn't have a country you'd be speaking Germany half the half the
world if they didn't go to World War One in World War Two. And so
you can't blame them for being tough as nails some of these old
guys. I like even though I wasn't, you know, I never grew up on that.
I grew up on the same softness as these people. These people are way
more soft, right? At least we have some of that old world. toughness.
No nonsense. You don't complain. complain? Unbelievable. complain.
Oh, when we ever we went to a teacher, and the American teacher
would be like, shocked, my dad would say do what you want with
him. Right? As long as the bones are mine, the skin is yours. And
the American teacher be like wait, sir, that's illegal, right. But
that's how most of us people grew up either Egyptian or Desi from
the old school. That's how your parents treated another elder. We
expect the other elder to be as tough as as the parent. And it was
like, like shameful. When a mom or a dad would side with their kid
over another parent, that's just it's a generational thing. But
that doesn't mean that there's not something that's better than
something else. That way, I'm telling you what the way of
toughness is always better than this.
Whatever this Carebear stuff is that they these kids were raised
upon that they think the university has to care about the
well being nobody cares about you.
People need to be told that a little bit more you want a hug go
home.
After the second midterm, for which the average hovered around
30%, the guys roasted these kids, they said that they feared for
their futures, one student was hyperventilating.
So study a little bit more.
Students are also described by B as described being surprised. Now
this is what happened. The university tried to talk to the
men, the men said, Are you out of your minds? I'm not conceding one
grade.
They fired him. Now the poor students, not poor students,
they're like, wait, you fired the guy. We didn't want that. We don't
want you to fire him. So the management doesn't understand the
students, either the students or you know, like, they're
complaining and whining, but they didn't even expect this. Right.
And I was talking to a brother the other day, and he said that this
reminds me of that Muslims who don't know how to go to interfaith
conferences. And all the Jew in the Christian want to do is they
want to talk right? Yet the Muslim doesn't know this, right? So he
goes way over the top. And he says, By the way, you're going to
have to and you're going to have to and it's all we're all good.
And the Jews and Christians equate we don't expect that. We know that
that's not true. We don't expect that from you. You don't have to
change your religion to join this interfaith conference. We just
want to talk. It's like you don't know when you overdo it, because
you don't understand what they're actually whining about. So these
students, now some of them feel bad that we
Got the poor man fired?
Is it as the deans here, you just set a precedent that students can
just complain and get a guy fired? Now, this professor, he asked a
very good question. And all the other professors in the
department.
Question, was there a hearing for this poor guy
didn't even get a hearing? Was there a hearing where the Dean set
and like had a trial? Or just a hearing for
a hearing is different from a trial? And that we're just
listening? There's, there's no, no one's going to be pronounced right
or wrong. Just let me hear your side. Let me hear your side, you
get to retort to what he said, you get a full retort to what he said.
And we leave that there. And we'll make a decision that says to
hearing every professional organization has this, okay, so
there was no hearing. And all the other professors are now who
abandoned him during the crisis. And they're now they're shaking in
their boots.
All right. Now, this controversy illustrates a sea change in
teaching from an era when professors set the bar and the
class was meant to was expected to meet the bar to now the current
supportive student centered approach.
Why would you be at the center for what have you earned being at the
center and that things should revolve around you? I'm telling
you, the neffs has gone wild. All right, the neffs has just gone
wild. Dr. Jones learned to teach during a time when the goal was to
teach at a very high level and a rigorous level. Wait a second,
isn't that good? Don't you want that. That's why you had a good
country, with institutions that people would come and get cured
here. Kings, like the King of Jordan, would come and get his
cancer cured in Minnesota
or Ohio, where some of the best cancer hospitals are located.
We hope that students will see that putting them through that
rigor is doing them good.
Telling you man.
James Canary, the chairman of the department said he admired Dr.
Jones's course content. But about a year ago, his communications is
communication with students became skeletal and harsh, harsh, because
he can't tolerate you whiners. That's why the poor guy.
I'm all for this guy.
He hasn't changed his styles or methods in good many years.
The students have changed though. And they were asking for and
expecting more support. Okay, let's give hugs after class, from
the faculty when they're struggling.
I'm 5050 a little bit because I do understand that it's not people's
fault. It's not generation Z's fault, that they've been inundated
with devices and media that have caused attention span to get
weaker and weaker and weaker and weaker. And the ability to look at
a black and white page like this, it's really hard to adjust. So on
one hand, I get that on the other hand, you still need to do all
this to be a doctor, like we can't have doctors who have low
attention spans, right for getting napkins inside of the patient, or
whatever errors could possibly happen. So on the one hand, he's
right to that. If you if you're like that, if you're that mentally
weak, you can't be in the medical in the surgical profession or
prescribing medicines, or people's lives are in your hands. So isn't
that fair? Right on the one that yeah, so maybe I think the
solution is four years of college and four years, medical school may
not be long enough. I mean, you might need more time, because kids
are slower, that's just how it is. In certain fields, they may be
faster in other fields than older generations, previous generations.
But if they're slower, you also can't wait it out such that we
have no doctors anymore. So um, for all for for in a sense, you
got to take people who are suffering something I think a lot
of youth are suffering. These kids are suffering. And from the
perspective of, they can't control their society, their societies
filled them with distraction. So why waste that's not their fault.
But they need to be guided out of this right. So I would actually,
as somebody who is
always around kids and youth these days
at advocate for us a little bit of a middle the World War Two guys,
it's too much. There also too much, right? But there's got to be
a middle. And I think that you should spend a lot of time with
that world war two guys, those old school dudes in their 60s, and
their 70s. You should spend a lot of time with them. They'll set you
straight, but they just can't.
The new generation can't handle. You know your ways, not because no
one's born weak. It's this
So that made them weak. Right? So at the same time they they need
some help to. Yeah, if I was to judge myself, if I wouldn't want
any of the shield of the past to judge me on their standard, I'll
fail 1000 times out of 1000 times, because we have fits in that they
didn't have. Right. And that's why Allah Tala is only the judge.
Right? So
you'd want some extra mercy. And I think that
as much as they despise this whining in this complaining, but
nonetheless,
there is a point, okay, that society has changed and as made
things really sort of, in a way unfair for kids to to be able to
focus. So they the schools needs to be more, they need to be more
time.
Over more more years.
Okay, so the NYU calls these stumble courses, where a lot of
students get D's and F's, right? So my thing, the standard has to
be the same. But it doesn't have to be in this short amount of
time, you could break up the course into two or three parts.
Isn't that a fair? Am I speaking, right? Am I speaking sense? Of
course, organic?
Look, these old dudes, they're jamming a textbook this big in in
three months, right? The Kids Are All filling up. So but the
professor's saying you must learn this stuff. And the kids are
saying we can't. So isn't the solution then to spread the course
out?
Over two, three years? I guess so. But then who can? Who would waste
their time doing that for two or three years? You're gonna have to
say, Hey, do you want to be a doctor or not? Right? You want to
be a doctor, then you still need to be an expert at all these
things? You know what I mean? Because that's what it is an
Ruckers. At least like everybody just gets like 25. And like a 25
has actually been 95 because of the curve because of the curve. So
you know, one quarter of what you need what was on the test, and
then you could look up the rest later, I guess. So look, look in
Islamic scholarship, things dwindled to because the society
changed. For example, in the past, there was no such thing as a shake
ever looking up something in a book. Right? Oh, definitely never
looking up an area or a hadith. You have that stuff memorized. But
over time, what did they say? They said, the scholar is now somebody
who knows where the answer is in a book, right? You've heard that.
Because things change as her
admission was memorizing the Quran to be admitted.
Fast forward a couple decades, you graduate with four judges?
I was shocked. Right? That's how it is that things are the getting
weaker, making people weaker. So
all right. So he says, Now this is very good. Do these courses need
to be punitive in order to be rigorous? So in other words, it
can be rigorous, but it doesn't have to be like a punishment.
Right in the sense that it totally demoralizes the kids. So in the
sense that you can keep the rigor up, right, find another way to get
them to that standard.
Dr. Kirschenbaum said he worried about any effort to reduce the
courses demands. So don't reduce the course demands, but spread it
out a little bit. Noting that most students in organic chem want to
be doctors, you want to be a doctor paid the price. If nobody
could pay the price of finishing Organic Chem in a certain time,
extend the time a little bit. Unless you appreciate these
transformations at the molecular level. I don't think you can be a
good physician. And I don't want you treating patients old school.
Thank you very much. I like this. In August, Dr. Jones received a
short note from Gregory gabbeh Dad Z Dean for science terminating his
contract. Unbelievable. How do you terminate it? First of all, I
thought that tenure means you can't get terminated unless
there's something egregious against the school policy. Dr.
Jones's performance did not rise to the standards we require from
our teaching faculty.
This Dr. gravedad Z declined to be interviewed. But Mr. Beckman
defended the decision saying Dr. Jones had been the target of
multiple student complaints about dismissiveness on responsiveness,
condescension and opacity about grading. All right, maybe there
was something about the guy. He got old and he got grumpy. Okay.
Dr. Jones, his course evaluations were by far the worst, not only
among members of the chemistry department, but among all
University's undergrad science courses. Professors income in the
chem department have pushed back.
Okay, they Yeah, because they saw their friends head rolling down
the hallway. And they're like, Oh, hey, we might be next. This is
setting a bad precedent. It lacked due process. There was no hearing
and it could undermine faculty freedoms. So as soon as it can
whines about a grade we're going to be scared for our jobs.
It can't be like that. You're supposed to be a Morumbi got one
of the 20 chemistry professors, mostly tenured, who signed the
letter said the university's actions may deter rigorous
instruction. None Americans can be treated with rigor anymore. It's
hugs, hugs and kisses. That's how American kids have become. Now the
faculty who are not tenured are looking at this case and thinking,
wow, what if this happens to me?
Dr. Jones, I don't even want my job back. I don't deal with these
kids anymore, or this ridiculous faculty. Okay, I just want to make
sure it doesn't happen to anyone else. Oh, the comments. New York
Times comments section is the best. Okay, 6000 comments. It's
taking like a minute to load here. Now, why am I reading this because
I always liked the topic of toughness, mental toughness,
anything that comes on the on the topic of mental toughness. I'm
into this topic, right? Because it's something that we weren't.
society didn't create us with mental, like it didn't push and
encourage any mental toughness. Like we're encouraged the
opposite. We're softened. So mental toughness has to be
something we actively do.
Okay, not being able to be a doctor is not a real tragedy that
you have to ventilate about says Boston ethics. He's saying that
not being able to be a doctor, that's not a human right or
anything.
It is a tragedy, though, when a highly esteemed institution
degrades itself. Okay.
By
capitulating to kids. Interesting, my son took organic chem at a good
university from a renowned professor Sun claimed he didn't
pay attention at the lecture and just showed up to hang out with
his friends, the top student, ranked just ahead of sun didn't
bother show up at all. How were you getting A's? I asked. He says,
I watched the videos on the internet like Khan Academy, none
of the other students understand the professor. They come to me and
I explained them chemistry, how it solved, how the problems are
solved. Okay.
So I mean, there's videos out there. lesson here don't have a
doctor who went to NYU as an undergrad.
That's the thing is, this is a serious profession. Can you
imagine if they start doing this with airline pilots? Oh, the exam
is too hard. You know what they do? With the airline pilots, I had
a fourth grade teacher, she was one of the best teachers. No, she
was a fifth grade teacher. She was one of my favorite teachers.
Her husband was an airline pilot for a commercial company like
United or something. And one of the things he said is that they
put you in a little machine, and you have to be able to withstand
the dizziness, that could happen. And you have to be able to control
the panel, while extremely dizzy. So they they give you an
assignment on the panel, yet at the same time, they slowly start
to jerk around the machine, right? Until the machine is at some point
completely upside down. But you still have to fulfill functions
like with remote controls and everything.
So she said to me that he vomited. And he couldn't see because he did
wear a mask. Right, he vomited. And he said that the only way that
he could possibly fulfill the functions on the panel was if he
had and breathe properly, was if he looked up all his vomit. So he
looked it up swap? Do you want to be a pilot or not? That's the
question. That's all it comes down to. Right? Do you want what you're
asking for or not? Are you willing to pay the price or not? Sometimes
the price is really high. Sometimes you can't have what you
want if you're not willing to pay the price. So now imagine, imagine
if they lowered the bar for pilots. Okay.
Imagine if they lowered the bar.
I mean, we'd be all crashing and dying. Do we do we want to lower
world population because that's where we're headed with all this
stuff? Right? We're gonna have a lot of a lot, a lot of incompetent
people in different positions. And that's how you're gonna have like
a world full of problems. Just incompetence. College has colleges
have sold out to the highest bidders. That's it. They're just
businesses, they want to make sure they're pleasing the parents who
pay the tuition. And the Dean needs to answer back to the alumni
who are you know, always supporting the students?
This is one reason physicians from first world foreign nations are
preferred. All right.
So that's crazy. So European and Taiwanese and Korean doctors are
now rising above American doctors.
Okay, the number of comments who blame Wilk ism for the performance
of the students is outstanding.
No, I don't think that it's it's because of the race of the student
at all. In fact, I think the richer the kids the more softer
they are.
And the
I don't think it has anything to do with for
mode of action
All right, so man,
whatever happens with this situation and I'm all for somebody
with the kids, but at their house at the same time be
mental toughness, we got to teach mental toughness. There's a lot of
comments here people going crazy in the comments. Alright. Alright,
so we're done with that. We're finished with this. We're going to
open up Instagram again. All right. And we're going to read as
this is today's the day of a shimmer and this is the month of
revealed or it's the month of, say Devonian it after salatu Salim.
Okay.
So
a lot of comments on YouTube too. First, we have an announcement.
Ladies and gentlemen, we have initiated operation ombre for
youth, and we need 10 grand and we have $5,500.
Mashallah $5,500. So what is the website? What is the link go to
launch good.com Go to launch good. There's no easy link,
unfortunately, go to long
launch good.com.
And he will post it right we'll post it right now

and participate in this vision to now send
all of our youth to Umrah once in their life. For every high
schooler in the community, we're going to starting with three you
got to start somewhere, right. Starting with three, just as we
started in the year 2022. Our goal was one meal a week. That's it one
meal a week. Yeah, that first week is easy. Second week is easy.
Let's see how we do on week 25. When there's no novelty, the
novelty has worn off. That's where the that's where you really grind
it out. When the novelty has worn off. It's not as
it's not as something new and exciting. No, this is this is
where you really tested. So likewise, we want to send youth to
aamra high school or youth before they go to college we want them to
go to with a scholar, not just by themselves, they're probably
maybe, you know, be too difficult to go even just a family if
they're going for the first time they need to go with somebody. So
Ryan is going to put this in all the chats. Should I look at
Facebook? Are We Connected to Facebook?
Look it up.
And we should put it there. So go to launch good.com Look up type in
ombre for youth. And we want to pay for three and the three we've
selected have devoted over 200 hours each as individually.
volunteer hours to the month. Do they not deserve it? Right 200
hours? If they're let's do a calculation here, okay. 200 hours
if they were paid, what's minimum wage?
15 bucks. Okay.
That's 3000 bucks. If they were paid minimum wage, they would have
the money to go to ombre. This hombre chip is cost 3500 bucks.
Right? If they were paid minimum wage, they would have went on but
they volunteered it and they never asked for money. Not once.
Did they ask for money?
All right. So, YouTubers Instagramers Facebookers. Go to
launch guide.com right now while we're talking.
Okay, and
and sign up. Donate to these kids. Just give me five bucks. That's
all I'm saying. Just put five bucks in the bin. That's all it
is. $5 Alright, you don't need that. $5
Okay, no, five bucks. I'm going to put five bucks myself. Okay.
$5 To send these kids. If each one of us and there's like, look on
YouTube right now there's 67 people.
If 60 People put five bucks. What is the math on that?
That's 300 bucks.
When that's too little 10 bucks each. Okay. 10 bucks each for 500
bucks each. What's 500 bucks? It's not even a lot of money. Right?
So Subhanallah we really need these kids to go to ombre in high
school before they go to college. I want them all doing ombre. Do we
have any questions on this? Any comments on this? And let's see
what's happening and
What's going on so, so go in and the boom here's 120 $5
donation to these kids tax deductible you have so you have
nothing to lose essentially. Okay and man up as a mad woman sadaqa
and part of this path is not just to call towards deeds to have that
benefit you personally but to call towards Seneca right?
And in the Quran to command to call people to sadaqa. Alright, so
I think we could knock this all out just today. There's 5000
that's left, we can knock it out today. Okay.
Hannah says from UK it's 1500 pounds is the average price to go
with a group that's probably the land package, then you have to get
your own flight, you have to add the flight to that probably.
Alright, so
we now move to the next segment. The next segment is today is the
day for Maliki FIP and shadow of Imam nawawi Sahih Muslim.
I love this book so much. And we're reading from the chapter on
a vicar was
such an amazing book and such an amazing topic. And you can join
all this
by going to ArcView dot orgy and registering there Hannah says this
includes flights Well that's a great price. Right? What Hannah's
saying that's a great price. Why are prices inflated for the US who
knows? prices are inflated? I'm not in the pricing business. I'm
in the getting people to come out business. So that's where my role
is is getting people to come out. Okay, what time is medically FIP
7pm sharp eastern standard time let's first let's look at the
prayer time
640 There's no reason not to start a six o'clock right at seven
o'clock. Seven o'clock sharp matagi
right could you post that to Tasneem
on on eBay put it in the time we start at seven o'clock. Maliki FIP
and we even may finish finish that and then after a set we just Imam
Muslim reading Arabic all right all right good to see everyone's
help coming in Masha Allah another person has helped out. Okay, thank
you so much. Another person has helped out I've been reading this
book. Yeah. Book of intentions by Habib. Sad, critical even out
away. That's an amazing book. Yeah. And like so whenever there's
something we look over the intentions you can make for it.
Yeah. So he says for sadaqa number one intention to draw closer to
Allah to either intend to shield yourself from the anger of your
Lord to about a quarter Allah by intend to shield yourself from the
Hellfire intend to show mercy to your brother and intend if giving
to a relative to strengthen the ties of kinship, intend to assist
the weak and then to follow the example of the Prophet. So Lagotto
says I intend to bring joy to your brethren intended by you may
protect and shield yourself and all the Muslim mean calamities
intend to spend from what Allah has provided and intend to subdue
the neffs and shit and Jadon.
In lemon Amara, besides the cotton, Allah subhanaw taala calls
the
the commanding to sadaqa and this isn't this a great setup because
you it's going to happen like it has an impact right away. A youth
will be going to ombre for eight days between the Mosque of the
Prophet and the mosque and the hunter machete in Mecca. It's just
an amazing
array your mic is off I think it's an amazing
you know result of your setup. Something you can see right away.
All right, let us now move to item number four we talked about our
first segment was mental toughness and the whiners of NYU maybe
they're not 100% Wrong, to be honest, but I just didn't like the
way that the guy was just fired like this. But you just never

Instagram bio.
So that was segment number. What's up? It's in the chat. Okay. So
that was segment number three is to talk about Amara for youth.
Sorghum number two segment number three is today's courses at
ArcView dot orgy online classes medically fit at seven. Then after
Salah Tonatiuh We begin at 830 We should I should know at eight
o'clock. So at 815 we begin so here Muslims reading from Imam and
now we shot in the Arabic We now move to segment number four of
today's program, which is the reading of Shema Timothy one of my
favorite books to read from and every Muslim should be reading
from this a little bit every single week. All right in order to
be close to the Messenger of Allah and Allah when he was setting them
as we're commanded to be near to the prophets I said how do we how
do we be near a Muhammad saying launch good does have a PayPal
option. Well, we got to find that out. Okay.
Okay.
And she says you can share the link on your Instagram Stories.
Right? It's my team says where's the link? It's right there. Safina
societies face YouTube account has just posted the link there.
So
just pasted again, just for the sake of it.
Now we read from the summit, mashallah a lot of you have coming
up big and coming up big.
Now we're at $7,326 out of 10,000. And this is all going to these
Shabaab youth, three Shabaab who have given without any reservation
to the masjid. And next year 10. We're going to shoot for 10 next
year. Alright, 10 Shabaab to go to aamra next year. But this time
with an application, there's going to be an application and the
application is going to ask you only three things. Have you been
to Ahmed Allah ever? Because we have to never have been told
before or Hutch. Number two,
obviously, you can't afford it. So that's the we not gonna give it to
somebody who can afford it. Right? Number three,
a reference from your local Masjid.
Okay,
that you're involved in any way shape and form because we want you
to go to, you know, we want to encourage people to be involved in
their Masjid. Then they go to Andhra and the transforms. But
even that number three, just at least, you have some semblance,
but that's not 100% necessary, but it's it will be a priority. It
can't be that the person who gives 100 hours to the mosque, and the
person who gives zero hours to the mosque, they can't be equal. I'd
like to take them both, but if I have, if this committee has to
choose, then it's got to be the one who gave a little bit more
effort. Okay, so
That's what we're ultimately you never know who's going to benefit.
It could be a complete person who's completely out of the
picture. And they benefit the most. And that's an argument to by
the way, that someone who's totally out of the picture would
benefit more and needs it more than the person who
is always in the masjid. Yeah, that makes total sense. I
understand that but if both are applying, then the one who put
effort cannot be equal to the one who put no effort so that's why
we're gonna ask that question.
Very simple ambition here and very simple operation.
And also we want them to go with one of the teachers one of the
whether it's whether I go on the trip, how soon maybe next year,
we'll be Haroon Haroon and Ryan, you want to go Imagine you go to
her alma mater with her and we have sisters, by the way, from the
part time program who are going. So these are students of
knowledge. And they're going to be mingling with these high schools.
That's the goal. It's not just any old ombre just go, no, we want the
mingling with the students of knowledge. And the teachers here
at ArcView underfoot and the students so
on to the Shema

back to the Hadith and Abdullah Hypno master oder Radi Allahu

ala

St. Abdullah, Masada St. Accra wa alayka ye lake on zoo should I
recite it to you when it was revealed to you Gralla in knee or
hip boo and asthma home and at the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa

for Karatu Surah Nisa, so he began to recite from Surah tennis, I
love to watch it in bigger Allah
Isha Heda with brought you or Muhammad upon all of these people
as a witness to the truth Subhan Allah.
Allah for eye to eye in a Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam
to help me learn. I saw the eyes of the messenger of allah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
weeping
pouring
with weeping of the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa salam
Subhanallah
let's see how we translate this.
Yes, tears flowing like a river.
From the eyes of the Messenger of Allah, Allah when he was
at death and equites Eva her death in Nigeria
and our PA
and Abby and Abdullah Abdullah Ahmed and God
and kesef at a Shem su
Yeoman, Allah idea Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa he was, there
was a Kossuth a solar eclipse Kosuth is when the moon the moon
comes between the Earth and the Sun Horsetooth
With a hot is when the earth comes between the moon
and the sun. So who Sue is at nighttime. And the Sunnah is to
pray to the gods at home. When
when the when the moon is being eclipsed, and when the sun is
being eclipsed, it's super easy to rock cars in the masjid. But these
in Gemma, and these two records though they're very different,
these two rock cars are
are done with two tacos. So Facha has Surah Rico, semi Allah halimun
Hamidah 30 has Surah again ROCOR semi Allah halimun Homina then you
go and sujood that's the you do that today for today because so to
To cause to fatty has to recitations to tacos per raka very
unique Salah and is supposed to be long too.
So
we have here from Abdullah Ahmed, I mean us that there was a Kosuth
during the time of the messengers of Allah when he was sending them
for karma Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam you suddenly had
the lamb yak and Jarkko he prayed so long that we didn't think he's
ever going to make ReCore throw maraca further Miaka dry our rasa
and he did it seemed that he would not come out of record the amount
of hours then he came back out out of record for a miracle and yes
June it will seem like he would not make sujood because his pm out
of Roku on which is supposed to be thank Allah for it
at that time he's supposed to be giving sugar the way you make
record you're making to be have Allah you make pm out of Rico you
making sugar to Allah there's a position there's a bad for
everyone standing for Quran Rico, just be
clear pm again rough I'm gonna record rising out of Rico Shaka
Lilla sujood da,
sitting between the two sujood da sujood again, da, then the sitting
that says Tisha hood is your greeting to Allah and Allah and
Salam on the prophets I send them and you close with Dr.
Phil Masada for me I could and your for Arosa let me get and Year
and Year for Arosa. Then he made to June and it seemed like he
wouldn't even raise his head out of sujood DOMA Raafat. So then he
raised his head,
and so on at Columbia kid Yeah. And yesterday, then it seems like
he's sitting so long as not he's not going to make the second
sentence. Then DOMA said that he made a second surgery.
And he made a second surgery for America and yada yada so and the
team that you would not raise his head for dollar yen for football
web key. We heard him breathing so heavily and weeping. Were cool
rugby and until the knee alert to dibba whom were NFE him Oh my
Lord, have you not promised me that you would never punish them,
torture them while I'm amongst them.
Rugby and I'm to enginee Allah to add the Bahama homea suffering My
Lord, have you not promised me that you will not punish us while
we are making you so far? Okay, these are verses of the Quran that
this promise from Allah as long as the messenger is amongst you do
not punish you, as long as you make an effort to follow up on the
shoe.
And here we are the province said we're not doing this stuff. We
seek your forgiveness now. For the masala Katainen Gelati shrimps,
after these two long rock as the sun was back to normal for karma
for Hamidah lo methanol Lee, then he stood up, he praised Allah. He
thanked Allah and he gave a speech garden in Assam so well camara
tournament ayat, Allah, the sun and the moon are two signs from
the signs of Allah. La Yang Cassie phirni Lee moutier hudon. Well,
early hierachy they don't Eclipse or get eclipsed for the life or
death of anybody. So they're not eclipsing for people as it was
thought in the ancient times that some great person was born or some
great person died for anything QSF 500 in a victory. If the kazoo
happens flee to the remembrance of Allah. Now you might say, you flee
to the remembrance of Allah because in the ancient times,
in the old days, in the ancient times, people didn't know why the
sun was eclipsing. So they were scared, but now we know right? Now
we know that
the sun is eclipsing just because of the orbit.
So what's the point then? Why do we have to pray because we're not
scared? We know exactly when it's gonna happen and why it's gonna
happen well, if we know when it's gonna happen, and why it's
happening, that indicates a degree of precision of knowledge that is
a proof
of knowledge for the Creator, and knowledge and will and control
Law and Order are attributes that must have an agent. They must be
in a being.
Precision, control, knowledge, accuracy, perfection.
All right.
Harmony, all these things moving harmoniously to the point that we
can predict when they're going to cross paths.
There's not not a proof of a creator. So that's why we
prostrate today. Today, we don't prostrate out of any fear, or any
superstition, we pray. So lots of cool stuff and Kosuth. And they're
synonymous as mentioned in the Hadith.
Because they are one of the greatest signs of the existence of
an intelligent creator, a knowledgeable Alim not
intelligent, we shouldn't we don't necessarily use the word
intelligence but a knowledgeable, powerful
in control
Creator, who is Budhia like innovative in a sense of bringing
something that you never expected at all times, Allah is bringing us
something we never expected. There's never a time if you want
to be if you genuinely want to be surprised, and I want to be in all
you can be an AW, Allah Tada will create something for you that will
put you in a complete state of awe.
And this ability for human beings to calculate the orbits of the
stars,
to such precision that we know at what time and from where on the
earth, we're going to witness an eclipse. And we can tell this from
decades back, that we have a schedule of eclipses going
forward. Does this not indicate
a creative force that's putting all this in complete order this
way.
So that's why he deserves so lots of cool stuff uncouth.
It's just
it's a sign a attend the province I send them set of knowledge of
perfection, of harmony in the universe, which harmony has to
come from Unity. So the creator is one. If I, if I control my car and
you control you and your car and we're supposed to drive together
in a perfect harmony, because I have a different will that you at
some point we're going to crash.
If there were multiple creators managing these orbits, they would
crash eventually. So
order is the indicator of oneness of the Creator. And mathematical
precision is an indicator of knowledge, that this creator has
not
order control knowledge or attributes that can not just exist
float around, they must exist in a being
they must be the attributes of a being
and that is Allah subhanaw taala.
That's the rational or philosophical definition of God is
that being which possesses these qualities that we can see with our
own two eyes, the rational and philosophical definition of God
with our own mind, we can tell these things, but we need
revelation now to tell us more such as what is Allah's name? What
are his other attributes? What does he want from us? What else
did he create that we can't see? Such as the soul in the afterlife
fine check.
Almost
why doesn't a
Muhammad given Aveda and her death and her death and Sophia and anata
in the setup and a Kadima I need now Bassanio loads Allah and Homer
Carla aka Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa salam Ignat Allah who
took the
fact of honor her for what I have been a day firmer that we're here
been a while saw had OMO Amon Bacala and maybe slow Morrison
Okay.
Attempt Kena in the Rasulullah only Amen. was beloved.
The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam had two people lived in his
house that were not part of his family on the Amon and Zaid Bin
Zayed bin Khalifa. They've been herded, there was the prophets
adopted son at the time he was called Zaid ibn Muhammad. And omae
man was a helper in the house of the prophets of Allah when he was
sending them
good for years.
So they married
and her daughter
was on her deathbed.
She was about to die, the prophets of Allah who said them took her
and
and she died in the profits hands. So my aim and began to weep. And
he said SF ki nine Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa salam
She said to her, do you weep in front of the prophet of God. And
she said, I see you weep, you're weeping to fall in the less to
opkey in the MaHA Rama, I'm not weeping for loss. This is mercy.
It's mercy. It's love. It's compassion, it's tenderness in a
minute, because Allah Kula, the movement is in good in all times.
See, this is after the red here. And this is what will it
completely dislodge as a lot of motional mental states of of woe
is me.
The Prophet has said it, therefore we have to find it. The Prophet I
said, in a minute, be qualified, you're in all good. Allah Kula, in
every state that you're in, only good things are happening to it
may be painful, that doesn't mean it's not good. Okay?
It may be painful, it may be, you don't understand, it may be
something that is not understood by you. But it's still good. Okay,
it's good for you. What does good mean? Means the end result of
this, the future will make your situation better than it was
before. That's what good means. That means in the future, the
overall situation, the aggregate will be better than it is now.
Because of this incident.
How do you say that it's going to be better once you lost a child?
How do you know what kind of MACOM her and her child will be in?
By them both having to go through this, the daughter has to die, and
the mother has to face the death, but because of that, they will be
in a high MACOM. So now someone may say, Well, why doesn't Allah
just put them in a high MACOM? By by himself? Why do they have to go
through this we say to you,
now use Allah Maya, you don't ask why Allah does what he does. Don't
ask these questions, in the sense of you can't ask, Well, why would
Allah did this? Why didn't he do? No.
This is how the creation is. The creation is created, as Allah
said, with s bab. Everything in this creation, you cannot have an
end. Without means.
There have to be means you cannot have a reward without a price.
It just doesn't exist. So don't ask the question. Why can Allah
give us the reward without the price? Would you accept that Allah
gives you the punishment without having committed sins? Flip it
now? Because if you want to say, Well, why wouldn't Allah reward
her and her daughter without this trial and tribulation? Okay, fine.
You're asking for that everything in the world is created in pairs.
If you get one pair, you get the opposite pair, would you like a
lot to punish people without them committing sins.
If you want one, you have to get the other you cannot sit want one
thing yourself all good yourself. The way that the world is created
is with means.
Okay, that's how the world is created. So everything does have a
price. And if they could not fulfill the price of yours of
worship to attain the rank, then they get the love pays the price
pays that makes them pay their price by suburb, because he wants
them to reach a certain rank. So if you want to know why people
back bite you, or why bad things happen to you, well, Allah wants
to rank for you. Your worship couldn't reach you that rank.
So he pours some calamities on you that makes you have Sabra. And
that's what causes you to reach your rank. That's what Allah
higher means. They're in good. Meaning that whatever is
happening, either is the reward of something good, or it's the seed
to produce more reward.
In and then if so who tunes out? Then benei jambay? Whoa, yeah,
Madhu Lazo agenda, the movement, even. Even the prophets, I sent
him saying, his soul is being taken out of his body, the
scariest thing that could happen death,
the movement will reach a level that even when he sees the Angel
of Death, taking the soul he says hamdulillah because this is the
seed, this pain is the seed for a greater good.
The moment is either reaping a reward, or he's investing.
The hardship is an investment, the blessing is a reward. In every
situation, he says it hamdulillah right. So the prophesy centum has
told us this is our emotional state. Now you work to get there.
You don't collapse in whatever emotional state you want to
collapse into. And then ask for the world to to fix itself for
that to align itself with this emotional state. Or that we all
have to align ourselves to that emotional state know the Prophet
gives us an emotional state and that emotional state or HUD or
whatever you want to call it or optina whatever term that you want
to use, is that we are in hive. Yes, I may be in pain. Yes, I may
not know why something is happening or I may be shocked but
but Allah has given us the conclusion. If you are a believer
in me, this is good for you.
So you have to be in that emotional state first.
And that spiritual state and that belief state.
Before you can even see the good, you won't be able to see the good.
And if you come with the attitude, oh, where's the good I can't see
it. How could you say this is good? It's not good for you.
You're not a woman. At least in this situation, you don't have
faith. So it's not good for you, it is bad for you.
If you want to change your situation,
change your attitude first. Allah does not change the people's
situation until they change what's in themselves. Change your
attitude. The prophet is giving you the emotional state in this
hadith, Al maltman be qualified adequately.
Only if you're in that emotional state, will you be able to see the
goodness and the wisdom behind all this?
One I used to know the Allahu Taala and Rasulullah sallallahu it
who it was God Bella Orth man, Abner Malone, wahama yet we have
the key of man even of own was amazing. Sahabi entered Islam and
the prophets of Allah and he worshipped Allah so much, the
prophet had to actually cool him down and off man and Him alone was
the sahabi, whom the messenger peace be upon him said or he said
that the Prophet continued to ask invite me to Islam until I became
embarrassed, and I only accepted Islam out of embarrassment.
Then after the Prophet recited in Allah hit Motorola, did you well
yes, anyway either CORBA and fascia you would monkey with but
Well, Bobby, you either Camilla come to the karoun.
In Salah he recited this, that I Amen entered my heart. And when a
man entered his heart, he would not stop praying all night,
wearing the roughest garments fasting all day until his wife
complaint
and then the prophets of Allah who said them had to cool him down and
he's a bad live a little bit and worship a little bit. sleep a
little bit and wake up prepare a little bit, eat a little bit and
fast a little bit, so on and so forth.
Next Hadith says an NSC of Numerica Radi Allahu Anhu Carla
say hit dinner eBenefits and Lea Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa he
was
a daughter of the Prophet meaning a granddaughter meaning Sir, one
of the daughters of the Prophet sallallahu sunnah she passed away.
What a suit Allah just listen Allah. The Prophet sat at the
grave for a while and he said, man, his eyes were weeping.
For Karla a FICO, Mirage, balloon, la new car if it Leila God I will
call her Ana De Anza finesse Olivia Cabrera. Okay. And this
hadith states that
the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa salam, it was only Kulsoom, the
daughter of the Prophet peace be upon him. tears were flowing from
his eyes. He said, Alright.
Is there anyone who had not had sexual relations this evening?
I will tell you, I said no, I didn't. He said, Then come with
me. And they entered the grave, good.
And this was a hint. This was a hint.
All right, that he did not want say North man to come down because
it was a bit intense, because he knew that say North man
had been with one of his slave girls that
that is one of the explanations of why the prophet would say that
otherwise, there is no rule
about about that. There's no rule that some that there's any sexual
relation, limitations on burying somebody, but it's just something
that he did, he wanted, he did not want say Northman he wanted
someone else.
And Allah knows best, but it is not a ruling that you get you have
to have not have had any intimate relations in order to go down into
a grave.
Prophesy centum said about saying North man, if I had 100 daughters,
and everyone died, one after the other, I would marry each one to
say northmen that's how perfect he was of a husband that the Prophet
would say such a thing about
Alright, we are finished with segment number four of today's
program. Let's review. If in case you missed today's program, what
we did today was we talked about a really interesting story that
points to a lot of the change of the new generation. There is a
degree of a need to adapt but not at the sense my perspective on it
is
it's it's a need to adapt with an extra emphasis on math
Still toughness, because the ways of the world have softened
everybody. We're all everyone's soft. But toughness is a
wonderful, wonderful, wonderful quality that we need. That's
number one. Second segment is that we talked today about sending
youth to ombre.
And we're going to be having on the trips Now, you notice a lot of
ometer trips are for, like students of knowledge and pulled
their people. And I think these are the least people who need
ometer what who needs the people who need ometer are the high
schoolers before they go to college. So when we do ometer
we're going to be targeting high schoolers.
And not all high schoolers can afford it and their parents can
afford it. So we've we've established a little fund and our
target this year is such a doable target three students to send to
ombre an MRI is has put the link up everywhere. A launch Good how
are we doing on the on the target? Right? Could you stick your open
your mic and tell us how we're doing?
Are we 76 We're at 76. Cat 770 $600 We need
and by the way, thank you so much to all the people out of England,
what we need is
10,000 some dollars. Okay, we need 10,000 some dollars to do this to
send it's 10,001 610 $1,600. And we're almost there. We are almost
there we are literally three less than $3,000. away. $10,485 is the
exact price to send three Shabaab tomra. Okay.
We're now at $7,601.
So that was segment number two of our program, go to lunch good and
participate in the segment number three of our program we said today
on ArcView is medically fit at seven o'clock.
And then the more advanced class reading from the Arabic of Imam
and no we shut commentary on Sahih Muslim
on the chapter of bebidas, decree withdraw. And this chapter, this
reading that we have insha Allah Tada is, it's really powerful,
it's going to be at 8:15pm. If you want to be part of this, go to
ArcView dot orgy and either sign up for basic, or plus.
Us. Item number four on our program today was the reading of
the Shemitah, which we completed. Now we're on segment number five
questions and answers. And we're only going to be able to take 20
minutes worth unfortunately 20 minutes worth of questions. So
let's see. Sophie as a reminder, Patreon YouTube membership if you
liked this podcast, if we keep you company while you're in England,
and it's raining and you're depressed, so you need to turn on
the nothing effects live stream to pick you up a little bit. It's
raining 85% of the times in England if not more 97% of the
time in England in some places. So you need something to pick you up
and that is nothing but facts live stream and you got a lot of
company look at all these chats, look at all scroll, scroll,
scroll, scroll, scroll, all the chatting and chit chat people made
friends here. Maybe someday someone will get married from the
nothing but facts live live stream. So if you like it, you
support it by either being a YouTube member or going to
patreon.com backslash the fiends signing.
And you could support this bucket because that's how Ron, do you see
that we have any commercials? No. Commercials?
Question from Web? Are the hook of grandparents the same as parents?
Yes, they are in terms as long as they do not conflict with the
parents. In terms of dependence if you are the dependent of your
parents,
then yes, you obey your grandparents. If your grandmother
says Go get me my packet of pills, and a cup of water. You go get her
a packet of pills and a cup of water. You're obligated to obey
them in that regard. They have the right to tell you what to do. I
can't wait to my grandparents. Because I don't have to do any of
the work of parenthood but I get to tell my grandkid what to do.
Get me this get me that get.
But at the same time, the Prophet did say make better, which is
obedience and goodness make it easy on your children. In other
words, don't be so overbearing. Secondly,
after you're no longer dependent, or the wife marries, or the son is
no longer dependent, then the Bidwell again at that point is not
that the parents will give the kids orders, but rather that he
must make sure they're happy. And if they run on hard times he has
to support them.
Sophia says You always forget the rest of us in Europe yet. It's
there are some English speakers in the Netherlands in Germany, in
France, and we're putting together a YouTube channel or or
a YouTube playlists
For the French Muslims who are suffering
snake juice with a skull. You want to marry this guy?
Hey, Dad.
I'm interested in a guy that I met on the internet, his name is snake
juice.com. Okay, Snake juice, email, Snake juice, send him a
private message, sending a full resume with a picture. Maybe a
picture of your skull, I guess an x ray because that's what he's
given you. But snake just need to get married, man. Let's give the
guy a chance. All right. Oh, he's in California. So he's cool. All
right, and he's basking in the sun. So maybe, hey, British
sisters out there. You want to get rid get out of this miserable
rain? Okay. It doesn't matter that you're marrying a snake oil
salesman. But that's okay. You're being California at least. Okay,
so send over an application. Hey, maybe we should extend Melinda to
online. That is so dangerous, isn't it?
Yeah, that's true. But why don't we give? Why don't we make them a
lead to a sponsor? And if and we can organize online marriages?
How? Let's just ask her husband if he wants to do it. Hey, it's gonna
be him. It's not gonna be me. All right. Let's ask hasn't hasn't
lost money.
What do you think? Right? Right. I think this is a disaster. Well,
let's just see if he wants to do it.
Hey, Hudson, you know, the on the nothing but facts live stream.
There's a lot of people who talk to each other, and they meet each
other for the first time, especially in miserable old
radial, England and Europe, right, where they don't have anything to
do. And they have, well, they have stuff to do. But they need to be
picked up by watching the nether effects live stream. So they get
to meet each other. So what do you think of having an invalid format
for them that they could go and put their files together? And put
in a way on a website where they could all look at each other's
files? Would you be interested in that? It's like a matrimonial
service. It's going to be your name. It's not going to be my name
on it. Hey, listeners out there.
Don't ever come and complain to me. And so I got married on Dr.
Sadie's platform. No, he did it. It's gonna be the mullet the
platform because I'm not having any liability and responsibility.
But if it hasn't, if you want to do it, you can do it.
Because we do have people who are who are always looking to get
married
by the way has this is today's episode Tuesday. I'm like I'm
literally messaging you on the episode.
Alright, Snake juice, you initiated this snake just snake
juice initiated this What's wrong with people getting to know each
other, but there's got to be some format and Ryan thinks is probably
a train wreck of an idea. They could be right but it'll be on has
no Smarties.
We'll put it on his on his plate. You never know what's gonna
happen. You never know. Okay?
What else we got here?
If I decide to leave my family because there are issues Am I
sinful? What if you can pay your own way then technically, you're
not really sinful. But if they need you, you have to be able to
help them.
You got to be able to help them.
Snake juice continues. I'm not looking. I have wonderful brothers
that actually do send me their applications and I feel bad. We
think just as a sister
brothers are sending Whoa, hey, brothers, you are in for a ride.
Her name is Nate uses a sister.
And she says not on a looking for a friend asking for a friend.
That's what she said. If a man's parents are old, and they have
nowhere else to live, except with him, how does he convince his wife
if she's against this, it doesn't matter if she's against it or not.
You have to take your parents in. It's an obligation.
But you have to make sure that she's comfortable too. So she's
got to accept that this is an obligation in Islam. And if her if
it happened to her parents, then her brother would have to take
them in. If her brothers can't take him in then the sons in law
must take them in.
So no convincing necessary this is fun it
okay, but it's just that this is fun. It's gonna happen. Now the
question is, how can we make sure everyone's happy in this new
arrangement? Maybe you have to take out some loans and build an
extension to the house. Of course that doesn't exist in England
where the houses are like this big and there are neighboring houses
just like a row like this. There's no such thing as building an
extension to the house. Not like the homes here in America. At
least in the suburbs. Hands that is easy, says I owe Kedah a
federal a lot. I owe a lot of feathers. So that's
Get the visa and PayPal dot yes
I'm so happy to see how much this channel has grown says RTD. Two I
haven't participated much as a viewer, but I've been watching
since the third live stream. What are we on now? Right? 115 Well,
Subhan Allah, masha Allah. Well, thank you for your support Archer,
do we need it? Alright, so snake juice is a guy. All right, turns
out he is a guy. He's not a woman. My bad, my bad. But he's asking
for a friend he himself doesn't want to do. Reggie Evans loves the
idea.
No, I think we could do this. Let's see if Hudson replied.
Let's see. Now he probably has a job like some of these other
people.
What it has to do, he has a job. But he's a businessman.
And says you feel attacked as a as a Brit. Yeah, will lie. I lived in
England at six took me six months. And my personality started to
change and wilt and wilt and wilt away. Right like a son that was
just getting eclipsed because of the rain and the weather. I did
find a way to love it all, I have to say that I did find a way to
totally enjoy it.
It's nature's is all about this. It's a great idea. There are a lot
of single brothers and sisters that are on their deen and they
meet each other. If you're on nothing but facts. Pretty much. We
know what you're all about. Because you wouldn't be you
wouldn't tolerate listening to me talk about the things that I
talked about if you didn't agree with them, right?
Because we don't mince words here about any group. And there's a
reason for that. If I minced words, then the audience would be
all mixed, and really wouldn't be clear what we believe in what we
don't what we do and what we don't. Okay, so I really think
there's a potential here. Let's send Hassan a message.
And it hasn't think seriously about this, you put up a website,
and we'll get these petitions from the SOFIA society, online students
on YouTube. And they're all about this, they want you to do it. So
think about it. We'll pay for it. But you have to you have to do it.
You got to manage it.
online petitions, and that they could see the profiles of people
without their names. 23 years old, I'm in England. I'll marry anyone
to get me out of here. Something like that. I'm Hanafy. Good. I'm
all about mental toughness, whatever you want to talk about.
Put your attributes, no name, and then people can ask about that
profile. That's how simple is that? Right? It's 100 way no
pictures. Pictures can come later between you and your family when
you're discussing with the person.
Right. Are you still skeptical?
Rhys like nah, this is a disaster. Okay.
No, Snake juices is a dude by the way, just to make it clear.
Reason. There's no reason but just the feeling of
Yeah, right has a bad feeling about it. But we got to try to
we have to try to do something for these people. It stinks. See,
right is all like well endowed and everything. That's why you know,
worried about marriage. Right?
He's well endowed. He everyone knows it. Right? And that's why
he's not worried about marriage. Okay.
But
my skepticism is about the online the skepticism about people not
representing themselves truthfully, online, like in in the
community, you know, the person Yeah, me. Yeah, this could be a
whole like, yep, you can make up a whole identity of yourself. That's
the problem. You can be a fake online. But here's the thing
though. At the same time, you could be a fake but the audience
aren't for you. And inside your audiences, it's not so massive.
It's your you know, what you're getting? If you listen to this
type of podcast to people who listen to this stuff,
and they tolerate my, my slashing and burning and jokes and mockery
of certain things, that means they're going to have the same
they're going to be on the same philosophical wavelength and a lot
of things. Right. And that, isn't that one of the major things in
marriage. Who is who did you put in the penalty box? Right? Right.
Just put someone in the penalty box folks. Good.
Snake juice, you are the innovator of a what I think is a good son.
And Ryan thinks is a train wreck. We'll have to see. Okay.
Swift K as a very serious question. How do we reach Wilaya?
It's actually very simple in theory, and it takes a lot of
effort. And the simplest theory is that you study knowledge and data
and fit from its sources and you study this
mines have to sell from its sources the accurate correct
sources we try to provide on ArcView online virtually, and you
practice it to the best of your capability with an especial focus
on
vicar
and you persist on this and you help people to become beloved to
Allah you help people as much as possible. And then you Insha
Allah, Allah will witness Allah is will recognize and accept your a
bad to the point that it will make you one of the elect.
The VA high becomes with upon.
She says, Is this turning into shaadi.com? Very funny.
Very funny.
It was just a matter of time for that joke to come out
what to do? Say Mohammed, if a student of knowledge his family
keeps needing help, to the point that many times he can't pay or
dedicate as much time to study. If it's your family, that is your mom
and dad need help.
Okay,
then at that point, you
that's your a bad?
That's a bad and a superior to studying knowledge. Maybe Allah is
going to give you something deeper.
So you should do it. Help them.
Bucha Begam Yes, I love England. I did get used to it. But now that
I'm back here, I'm used to the sun. I'm solar powered, I need
that sun. But I could get used to any situation. Although my
preference is the sun. Awesome. 83 My nine year old son just told me
he wants to come to Omaha again. And this time, not with us but
with Safina society. All right. He wants to come with Dr. said
alright. You probably gotta give him two more years or how's this
for a deal? Send him with us. And you come on your own homeless. So
you're within the vicinity? if an emergency happens, how's that?
Right. And that's what some people are doing. Their teenagers are
coming with us. But the parents are coming on their own package,
so that there'll be in the vicinity if there's an emergency.
So I could say come and get your kit
there are some people that are on their deen and they only have cats
as companions
what's the best way to show gratitude to Allah always speak
that the NAM is from Allah say it. The Nama is from Allah. Enjoy it
in the halal not in other words, not in the Haram. And number
three, give back what you can to the people.
Imagine telling your parents that you found this person on the
nothing but facts YouTube Live Chat.
Some people are finding their
spouses and in a lot of other places like some of these apps
that that are almost more like
you know,
Tinder what is it? Tinder and all these apps? I don't know what
they're called.
Hannah Montana. Is that is that?
The founder of Lynda? Is that her? And okay, yes, it is her. It is
her year moda operation, Hannah has gotten to become like, the
subjects of the chat today. And what I'm suggesting is a very,
very, very simple website, that people put in submissions of their
age, their whatever it is. And then we type that out in like,
almost like a card. And it's on the website, sisters and brothers.
And it's just text, no names. And if you're interested in somebody,
you send us your profile, and then we email you back, that person
checks my text has incentive to do it.
So it's all by text, and we email that person say, hey, so and so's
interested in you, are you interested in talking?
Let's see what happens. I actually had an idea similar to this before
that basically what we wanted to do is for one of the events, we
wanted to have you or any, you know, scholar in the area, kind of
talk about,
you know, the Islamic way of courting someone and things of
that nature so that people can know. We felt like it was gonna be
at an in person event, people wouldn't really show up for him at
least guys because, you know,
they're, I don't know, they have this stigma or ego problem.
But I think if we we partnered and did it on the podcast itself,
where you did like a two part series saying
what are your Tuesday whatever this is right now, whatever you
message me from
and like have some sort of talks on you know, it's not a courtship
and things like that. That way the listeners from outside they can
listen as well. And then what we could do is we could drop that one
the registration link on it, and then have
people can ask your questions right about going on the process
and then we drop the form
and they can sign up from what, and then we can start matching
them on the back end, you know, even if a location is in England
or somewhere else, you know, that doesn't stop us from sort of
matching them with other potentials in their area or
outside of their area. And so if you're about to do something like
that, I don't think I would be, I would probably be against people
looking at each other's profiles, because then you know, you're
basically just doing what most magic men do. It's not the there's
no privacy for both people, both parties, but obviously, especially
for the sisters. So let me know what you think. I don't know.
I don't know if you're familiar with Imam Jawad, from NBS, from
I'm guessing from ncgp area, he knows seems to find really well,
he basically does this, he runs a private Facebook group, where he
he'll post or any other admin in the group, they'll post, like bio
data of someone without pictures without a name. And then someone
else will, you know, comment on the post or whatever, and, you
know, have an inquiry and say, I'm interested, and then they get
them, you know, matched up together, we could do something
similar. But, you know, since we already have a form, it's better
that they just joined the database anyway. Where, you know,
obviously, if they share their name and picture, it's still only
the more the team that sees that. And a potential suitor will only
see that if we, you know, mess them up someone else or someone
else shows interest.
Okay, I have a question. So if a person goes on to the website and
does not see any bio data, how do they how do you know that they're
interested? How do they become interested? So what I was thinking
is that their bio data should be there somewhere and they say, Oh,
I'm interested in this person. They're a match for me. 23 years
old, Hanafy.
Anti woke, whatever. I'm interested in this person.
England, and I'm in England, blah, blah, blah. Like if we if they
can't see the bio data, how do you know people are interested?
Alright, see, this is rolling snake juice. I'm telling you, it's
his name and the profile that got my attention.
We're, it's real. Alright, but you all have to watch.
Was it called the girlfriend that didn't exist? To make sure that
you don't get catfished?
But honestly, the fun of it is going to see the look on Ryan's
face when we actually launched this thing, and he's gonna be like
shaking his head.
Okay.
Snakes, you says if she's answered, well, she's a keeper.
Game over. If she says I'm anti woke, and I'm against all this
nonsense, boom. Mary right away, ask questions later.
Good.
Let's see one more thing because this could happen. We could do it
has since recording audio, if he takes care of the management,
right?
He takes care of the management.
Habib agrees with you? What is he saying?
I'm with Ryan. If it hasn't, and Hannah, take care of
law, all the logistics, and the website and they run the
operation. Then, right now, the way it's done is like the team
matches people based on the application itself to kind of sift
through it and see, Wow, interesting line and things like
that. But we can have honestly, it makes it it would make it easier
for the for us if it's like a crowd sourced you choose. But the
way we've been going so far is that we end up doing the matching
on the back end based on interest and other things. And then they
say yes or no to moving forward.
Okay, so the way they do it is the way they do it everybody is that
you put what you desire in a person. And then they see if
there's a match, and then they connect to it doesn't make a
difference. As long as it's that that's the if they have a
methodology, then all we're literally doing is sharing the
link and talking about so Hudson, why don't you come on? Okay. Why
don't you bring them over to leadership? And they could talk
about it. The more that she leadership is a brother and a
sister, husband and wife. And we got a ton of people here who are
who are probably interested in this right? And wouldn't it be
cool a California England marriage that's got to be pretty fun,
right? So hasn't we'll make this happen you guys work it the way
you guys want to want to do it.
Since you're the managers and the founders of the operation, and
insha Allah Tada, we'll just make an appointment and you can come on
to the stream even. Okay.
And you could bring Hannah to come on the stream to and explain
Melinda to everybody and it could have an online presence now.
Through all of the Safina Saudi students and then nothing but
facts viewers, and we're gonna have a special camera on Ryan's
face the whole time as he thinks that this is a very skeptical
about the idea, but we'll see. Alright, so there it is snake
juice. I hope you're happy. You did this with your with your with
with her messaging. You're the one who did this. So it's nature's
Okay. Sophia says oh, it's nature is all about this is my idea.
Sophia says yeah, she did talk about it. And she did actually
match try to match people before here. I think she did. Right.
She said I've been mentioned it a few streams ago and Sophia saying
no, no, I got the credit. Okay, it's my idea. But either way,
they're both ideas. Hey, maybe you actually a match for each other
You're already arguing. Right? So
might as well finish the job and get married.
All right, so here we go, they will match the applications based
upon what you say, of what you're interested in. So that way, it's
not like fishing for people, right? And you don't get to just
be looking on looking at people's profiles, very productive live
stream, I have to say, now that we have a matrimonial elements of the
live stream, how crazy is that? Right?
You never know what's going to happen. So let's just try it.
Okay.
People are sick of these dating apps. I always tell people you
want to get married, join a religious circle. Because people
have Deen. They tend not to say everybody, but they because people
are being cooked here. They have similar beliefs, they have similar
way of living similar expectations. If you're coming to
a class on Arpita, and fit, it's understood that you have a similar
mentality of how life should be
and what the purpose of life is. So that's and they're going to be
conservative. That means you're not going to have somebody who
ideally is going to be somebody who is like an out of control type
of person. Okay? And out of control type of person, or
a
person with far off views on things.
Let's see what happens. Ladies and gentlemen. Just not gonna locate
on Thank you very much. And I think tomorrow, we're going to get
on this I'm going to see her son tonight at the masjid
and we'll get on this. Why not? Give it a shot. And if you have an
experience, Melinda has no liability towards you.
So they will connect people together. Right? You have similar
profiles we connect you together. It's now between you and your
families and yourselves Subhanak Allahu mobilehome Deke, a shadow
