Lillah wa Salatu was Salam ala Rasulillah. Early was gonna be
here Woman Well, welcome everybody to welcome back I should say to
the Safina society nothing but facts live stream after a November
that had a long break. And I was away early November, then we had a
break later on. And then we had their own little break. And we're
back after a long and now we're headed to the long stretch. This
is like the long the long haul, which is always from New Year's
all the way for spring break, which is really to be the month of
Ramadan. And we have a number of segments today. Which segment do
we want to do? First? We let's let's do our update on the ombre
first because that was basically the
the reason for that long break. But I'm telling you, it was so
worth it. These youth and these kids had such an amazing trip. And
they were great. I thought to myself, are they going to horse
around? Are they going to fool around? But I'll tell you what
happened is that they didn't do any of that. There was so primed.
And I became so happy because I think the reason that they were
all primed like this was because throughout the year, we're always
talking and you think that they're not paying attention, right, but I
think stuff was actually settling it. Right.
Subhanallah it's so funny that since we all shaved our heads and
we're talking about shaving our heads. All my ads are about hair.
It's hilarious. All the talk about shaving heads, and all the
advertisements I'm getting here are about like, get your hair back
and all that stuff. hamdulillah but these youth they were they
were in it there. Nobody had to do any bit of running around chasing
after them or anything like that. They were all in it. They were
great from the get go. And when I say great what I mean by that is
they're expressions of a bad and they're totally being engaged was
impressive. When you when you see a youth that's engaged in a bad it
puts out the Wrath of Allah subhana wa Tada that's what have
you obeyed the law said and I believe he quoted a hadith that
the youth were overcoming all their Shaohua it's an all
everything that that that comes with the youth and the insanity of
youth. Right? It it's impressive to see some of these youth we're
doing so much salad that we actually had to wait. And me and
me in the use of Chuck at one point we have to wait like 1520
minutes.
Kid in but to see one of these kids in Sagitta right in front of
the Kaaba you know like right behind McCollum, Ibrahim or that
area where they let us pray. It was so impressive to see and it we
really moved, it was moving. And they were all in on shaving their
heads after the ombre although you can shorten to and for someone if
people do ombre a lot, then they usually shorten and Hajj is the
big one where you save if you can, by the way, some people can't
shave they have irritations on their on their on their heads. But
in any event,
I personally was not planning to shave, I was planning just to
shorten. And then they came in I saw 20 of them all sitting see
that top picture there. All 20 of them were sitting there and
they're that take a picture. I was like, Alright, let me get in on
this picture. And that right there. They said, Hey, we're all
shaving. Are you shaving? Right? And they said, We're all shave, if
you shave and I was like, Well, if you're all going to shave that arm
shaving right? And well that that was a big kick for them. They had
a big it was it was a big, big deal to them. So we all then went
out it's like two in the morning. Right?
And like what are the situations? Are you going to be out where
you're out with 20 youth and two in the morning? Looking to get
your headshots? Right. That's that's what the Dean does, it puts
you in situations where you would never be in these situations
otherwise, so without the Command of Allah and doing the Sunnis a
Baghdad, so end up going out there and walking around and looking for
a place and we all got
and I negotiated a deal. I said to the guy
with 25 guys here, right? You're not gonna get cost. You're gonna
give us a discount. You gave us a nice royal discount 70 adds a pop,
right be 70 as a pop because I think he had to actually keep his
employee
his workers there. And they wanted to leave his so in the morning,
right? We get all of our heads shaved the two in the morning.
They're all taking pictures and everything. We took the second
picture. That second picture is in the mall. It's not a mall. It's
like a dingy little old mall, right? It's like an old shopping
center. And then
we're swerves. We're tired. That was like Alright, let's get out to
food. Everyone made different orders.
We took all the tables in the mall and put all the tables together.
We had to have a with us two Yemeni guys, Shiva young guys.
They went off and they got Yemeni food, right.
We had a Lebanese brother.
We had a Lebanese brother, Joe, so that this Lebanese brother went
and got fruit for all for a bunch of people. Jawad. What's
happening, man? How's it going? Are you? Good?
Thank you, man. I mean, the Thank you, how's this turbine looking
on, you haven't tied in Durban a long time. So this
got some fruit. And we just spent basically until 4am. Eating all of
us.
Next day, of course, we were shot exhausted. But what are the time
are you going to sit around with a bunch of guys from two to 4am?
Right in a random Mall. And that's what, that's what they buy that of
the Dean does to people, right? It makes you put you in a situation,
you would never have been in this situation before. We did another
almyra. Afterwards, some youth one to another ombre ended up going
with a smaller group. Also going deep into the night.
And then they got the QFC kick. Because you know, the hotel there
is right by the KFC. And, and they're like alright, lifeline,
let's do this gifts, whatever. At that point, when they showed that
enthusiasm. At that point, anything they had asked him to
give it to him, right? You want to go KFC all you want to go
McDonald's, I'll go with you. Right, whatever it was. And
at that point, because of the amount and amount of conversations
that we had, that made me even more happy. And I felt I think
that people out there who are just like who don't have kids, or who
may be live in some remote areas. I'm telling you, there's a lot of
that in the OMA but there's so much more good. And to see these
kids, they overcome all the stuff the garbage that they're dealing
with.
But their minds are there and sharp and the deen is simple
enough for them to understand. And they're in it, they complete buy
in. And I honestly think it's the thick of knights. When they come
to thicker knights, they may look like they're sort of they're not
there.
But that's I think just the expression of teenagers, like
their face is not always expressive. And they don't always
talk but they're in it. And this proved that they had a total buy
it. Right. And that was to me, that's the point. And this thing
is a program that automata for youth is an operation. And it's
going to be something that whether it's I want to lead it of course
I'd love to lead them. But prep for practicalities purposes, there
may be other teachers and what is no is like one person who can
engage with us now anybody can engage the youth, right? Anyone
who whose heart is sincere, has some basic common sense. Hopefully
some experience with teenagers. Right.
And has the some Tobia in Dean, he can go and lead these youth and
they will follow they want to learn. Like they love the
conversations. So we had some situations where it had for
example, three of us like me, Eliane use of Chuck Hubby, and one
youth. So he's he's outnumbered. He's as engaged as everybody else.
He's just like, he might not know some words. But he's thinking
about it. And he's involved, even when they're like, daydreaming
off, they're still listening. And then they ask ask a question. So I
remember when I was young, when I was in high school, the middle
school even before that, but mainly in high school, it was like
an awesome thing just to be with the college guys, you always
wanted, I always wanted to be with them. And I never knew what they
were saying half the time. But I was interested. And whatever I
picked up, I remember, there was one one of them he had memorized
suited to the bucket, I thought that was the most biggest that was
the biggest achievement, right. And I looked up to him, another
one went to Syria. So to have those college type of college kids
around that ratio of like one to four, let's say for every four
youth to have one college good. And we also it was so important to
have some sisters who had knowledge. And we did have a
sister that had knowledge there. And she was helped me manage the
whole operation. Right? She was a mom, so nobody should think
anything. Not even a Muharram right. But nobody should think
anything. But it was a shame that helped me manage the whole thing.
Right? So it was it's so important to have a woman there, be with the
sisters answer their questions, because they come up with
different questions that are private. Right and, and they need
someone to talk to. And so it's very important for from the the
leaders of these trips, that there'll be like a husband, wife
or brother and sister from the from the from the older crowd to
be able to translate right and to talk freely without without worry
about situations. So that was extremely important. And I think
that sister for doing that. And she was
she was vital.
We did have in that, although the picture was all guys, because
that's the drastic thing going from here to not here. But it was
the it was the sisters were there, the teenage sisters were there
with enough like moms like, like two or three, one of them had a
brother, one of them had her mom. And one of our was a little bit
older, right and was almost like,
you know somebody who was between youth and adult. So we had a
couple of sisters there, too. And it was important for them to go.
And they all come with that note and that experience, they come
back and mingle with their friend groups again. And that encourages
another group to come. So Ryan, the youth knights that you do is
really like a feeder program to this. Right? It should be
something that they go in, they're going to, you know, share, they're
going to talk about it of course, and they'll all go inshallah in
the future. So next December, already planning to do it again.
It's going to be 60.
No, no, no, it's going to be about 4545 to 51. Bus. Keep it simple.
One bus, right? One bus.
Same plane, same bus, everything the same. And we'll have let's say
40 youth and 10.
Adults, and that should be perfect. Right? So that's the
update on on our youth the ombre trip, which was extremely
important, extremely beneficial for them and they were totally
engaged with it. And it was something you should be proud of
really when you saw them you feel like the OMA has a lot of credit.
And we also took them to show you.
Some of them saw Habib called them.
Some of them or all of them saw Habib Obaidullah.
He made a lunch. He said Habib obeyed Allah, who was the father
and love heavy woman in Mecca, he said, he said to me, this was like
really, like, made me happy. He said,
You're the first one to do this. On the for youth. He's like, I get
gifts all the time. No one's ever done this, like all youth, right?
So he's like, congratulations. So I was really happy that he said
that. And then he made a whole, like land multiple with on beds of
rice, these kids have been eating, like any eating out the whole
time. They backspace that food, highlight delete, on all that
food, right? There just devoured it. All. Right. And then he gave
him a little talk then after that, there was a private gathering,
because for certain purposes, he couldn't have big gatherings with
moms had been homeless in Jeddah. So we met three shields, I think
meeting the shield was very important for them to they got to
meet the shield. When we go inshallah we got to meet the
shield. So the way it's gonna work is that at around every
everyone's closer to the time, we will start the fundraising
campaign again.
And from now on, the fundraising is gonna go 25% of every
fundraiser to an endowment.
It's not efficient to raise the funds and spend it every single
time. But it is necessary in the beginning, right? So people could
see results. So the quarter of every fundraising we do for Amada
for youth is going to go to an endowment, that endowment is going
to be like to buy apartments in a cheap area where the the
difference, the margins are greater than, let's say, New
Jersey, where costs are high. So I think South Jersey, for example,
the margins are much better, right. And so we're going to do
that we'll probably maybe use some of the some of the guys who are in
this business, I'll say make a folder for us, right. And they'll
take a management fee, and the rent, they'll manage it, no
headache, 8%, management fee, whatever.
And then those revenues will feed back into the endowment until the
endowment is big enough that it's sending off. Like it's producing
two umbrellas a month.
That's the goal. Imagine that. So 24 a year.
And then all the fundraising will then be for the endowment.
And then it will just feed itself. Right? Because when you have shoe
when you have people who are working, they also they're not
going to pay the form. Right? And half of half of the youth can
afford it. They'll pay themselves, but it's for those who can't
afford it. Right. That's the whole point of this operation. So a
browser is saying what's an endowment and endowment is that
each state you take a lot of money and you put the money into a
revenue producing operation such as apartments, the rent goes to
the cause. Okay, that's what an endowment is. Instead of every
time I fundraise from the people and spend the money right away,
you fundraise, you put it in something that produces a revenue
And then that revenue is what goes to the cause that's a smarter way
of doing it. Okay.
So it's a workflow Yes. And in McGraw daicel call that a hopes.
Okay, segment number two of our live stream.
I got a little gift in the mail. Guy guess what are our gifts
I didn't even open it, I wanted to I want I wanted to have a natural
reaction, the Quran belt, chicken voice translation. First of all,
it's very heavy, right? It's very heavy.
It's not a some flimsy book, you know, and shifnal Who's going to
produce a work it's going to the is going to be very well
researched. And it's going to be something that it's almost like a
prize you're going to put on yourself. And when you read it,
you're gonna reread it very carefully, because a lot of effort
goes into his works. Okay. All right. So here is the book. Wow,
look at this. It's like the old fashioned leather of the old FSC
it here is the work very thick. Okay, you can see my fingers going
across here. And it simply says the Quran beheld and he always
uses one of these little type of thing is in the middle. And it is
the same
text and appearance as all his other books. Okay.
It's a beautiful red binding here. And it's got two bookmarks. So
you're doing two different readings, I guess. Because the
Quran has multiple readings. First of all, there's the reading of, of
of a bad way just read. Then there's the reading of to Dubbo,
where you're just contemplating.
And then there's the reading of tafsir.
Right where you're reading actual tafsir. Okay, so, the Instagramers
are saying we can't see it. Here it is, for the Instagramers This
is how it looks. It's pretty big. And it's got some texts on the
back. Let me read to you what it says on the back.
This work solves an enigma that has puzzled many readers first
coming to Islam through English translations of the Quran. By the
way, never recommend anyone who's a new Muslim to get a translation
of the Quran. It's almost very really hard to read. They do get
benefit but at the same time.
Sierra is better because Quran is not always easy to follow along.
Right? So I tell them to read Sierra.
Now I don't even give people books, I give them a link. We have
a link with all the links, YouTube playlists, and that tends to be
even more beneficial these days. Okay, the Arabic original stunned
here's Okay. With its unutterable evocative power, incisive
arguments sharp relief of its contrasts, striking imagery and
precise details.
Detail. Most translations stung few.
They seem out of focus vague, the threat of discourse is often lost,
and they are seldom moving or powerful. The present work is
called the Quran beheld because it's translator found that the
classical Islamic curriculum for learning the Quranic sciences
lifts the veil from the Divine masterpiece like stepping from a
dark and silent house into a lively spring day outside Can you
please plug this bad boy in for me?
Everything changes he says a preface outlines the Quran has
continued relevance for readers today. An Introduction describes
the time honored Quranic teaching paradigm and interpretive method
of telepathy one on one instruction by which the
translator studied the Quran with a traditional scholar in Jordan
during the 15 years of the work and the the those lessons are
actually online. And I listened to some of them they're really good.
He put his own lessons online. The two went word by word through the
Quran together twice. In the light of its great exudates Okay, are
the Imams of tafsir such as tuber ism actually episode of not sure a
Razzie Allah, Lucy and others. The introduction explains seven key
areas of meaning ubiquitous throughout the Quran not
incorporated by any previous translation such gaps have been
have prevented serious apprehensions of many of the
themes logic and arguments that carry the message of the Quran
sutras forward. Okay.
And this is how it works looks. So you could actually do a recitation
of the Quran because it's pretty big. You see that you could
actually recite from it. It's not like some of the other tifosi
Where the Quran is a tiny little bit small in the top corner. So
you could actually recite the Quran from this. And then and it's
following.
It appears to me that it is following the pagination
of the medina must have and Allah knows best, right into the medina
most software, it stops at every page. That's to me what it looks
like.
So it's the following. It's ending at every page, and then the index
looks exactly like the reliance of the traveler index.
It's exactly like 29.5, point F like that.
That's what it's looking like.
And then this is the this is, to me the hardest part.
It appears to me that
the translation is literally line by line, such that if I, if I have
a question on line five, I go down to almost the same area.
It's not exactly like that, because the English text is
smaller, but it's close enough. So it should be what my point is that
it's very easy to use. The translation is it seems like it's
very easy to use, you don't have to go look, do you ever read a
shot have Hadith? Like some of these publications, such as a hate
Muslim? The shutter has down here, you have no clue what he's doing
shutter hoof, right? You know what I mean? Like you read a hadith,
where's the shutter, it's like all over the place. Because the
publishers had trouble, it's not easy to publish a shot of
something. And the translation is also not that easy. So
this is something where you could read it, and it's a straight
translation, there's no Tafseer. But the essays are extremely
important. Okay. The essays are very, very useful in Tafseer.
The essays about tafsir are very, very useful, very important to
let me check something out really quick. I want to see
how we translate something.
Here, I'm going to ask you to open up for me a section a page and I
want to see how it's translated.
Not like I'm checking him or anything, but I just want to see
how it's translated.
Yes, exactly.
And his regular Edison to go to sodas Edie and Ron verse 85.
Surah Surah number three verse 85.
Yes, don't you just let me do funny acapella, how's it
translated?
Whoever sees anything about complete submission to Allah as a
religion, shall never have accepted of him. While in the
afterlife, he shall be utterly ruined. Excellent, thank you. So
what I picked up is one of the verses I usually go to first when
I read a Tafseer and that is the verse that states that so it says,
whoever chooses other than Islam as a religion, and generally,
translators that
maybe have like, I don't know, some non Muslim component to the
publishing, they put it as submission, right? They translated
as whoever chooses submission.
Okay. And he also chooses that he says, Whoever seeks anything but
complete submission to Allah as a religion and he does not say
Islam as in the religion of Islam or viral Islam Medina cobalamin he
translates it here as an whoever seeks anything but complete
submission to Allah as a religion which I always find it strange
because it's submission is not a religion. Right? Unless there's a
meaning here that's Halluf like
as a religion or the definition of a religion being a way of
approaching the deen through complete submission, meaning I
accept this part I don't accept that part. So that must be that
meaning Alright, the other one I want to go take a look at is gonna
introduce amendment I contested Lee McCulloch to be a date in
terms of this is not the other side of things. And that is
inserted sod verse 75 Okay, so let's go to suit at sod which is
around 38 So to number 38 Verse 75, and this will be from them
with the shabby hats. So let's see how we translate them with the
shabby hat
38 Verse 75.
And he translate
It's that as follows. Oh say in what prevented you from bowing
down to that which I created my own my own hence, are you to Hatha
Yoga so we translate it as the diet exactly as the verses. So
this is what I'm going to be reading from. Personally. I'm
going to leave it here at data fat for the Shabaab to look up. If I
come and find wrinkled, or a corner bent. I'm cutting off
fingertips
take a look at that pass it around. He could take a look at it
right Give me a second real quick I got to run downstairs real
quick. I'll be right back.
So you guys can talk
right? Why don't you tell us about the minute
you guys
actually didn't go to this
I was back
quick commercial break. COMMERCIAL BREAK Yes.
Bismillah Alright, so while reading, let's just do a reading
from
Surah Ali Imran translation, read the translation.
The House of Ramadan, in the name of Allah most merciful and
compassionate. And if I mean, Allah, no, God is there but he the
living the everlasting source of all being. He has truly sent down
the book unto you with entire truth, confirming what was before
it, and sent down the Torah and the Gospel, not so long before as
a guidance to men and sent down the sole final criteria. Verily
those who deny the verses of Allah shall have an unsparing
chastisement, and Allah is in invincible, unparalleled and
vengeance.
Truly Allah is He from whom not the slightest bit is hidden in the
earth or sky. It is he who forms you in wombs, however, he wills,
no God is there but he, the invincibly, powerful and all wise,
it is he who has sent you down the book, some of its verses are
unmistakably plain, which are the bases of the book or others are
subtle, of understanding between nuances as for those whose hearts
is perverse pneus they pursue only the subtle of it, seeking to sow
doubts and seeking to interpret it as a please. While no one knows
its true interpretation but Allah and those firmly grounded in this
knowledge they say we believe in it each of these kinds of verses
is from our Lord yet none remember and heed for those of insight in
mind.
Studio passes to Ryan smokery and agile as the best security data
knowledge with us with the best number three look at we got from
Australia also.
Kiswa from the kava I'm gonna read the note because he said there was
a card but the card didn't get sent. It's like read it for this.

blessings and may you be a light to the world? I mean, I mean, such
a beautiful draw. And the most important thing is the draw of the
people and our membership site down without a booty or interview
with him. Someone said you've written everything you've covered
everything what why do you need to write more books? He said, someone
out there has never seen this before. And you never know what
kind of thought you might get on that person from that person.
Those dogs are but look what they sent us.
cloth from that older from Medina.
This
is very special. This is not a small gift at all. Kiswa from the
cab of course, you're gonna see it on cameras all black. But if you
look closely, you could see
the pattern Kiswa of the Kaaba and then the frame the picture frames
mass that's how I know it looks like it's it's
they thought that through and
then this is a print of the letter of the Prophet peace be upon him.
Of course written he dictated it and it was written by the

Not enough butane or what

They sold us an empty thing that guy sold me an empty thing has no
butane in it.
Let's read from our summit and now.
Segment new numero what are we on segment numero four.
So we talked the Omega update we did the Quran beheld little gifts
that we had. And now we shift and we we move from that to remind
everyone to be a supporter of this live [email protected] backslash
or forward slash Safina society patreon.com forward slash Safina
society. That's how you get support this live stream and help
us out and I'm going to give you the assignment to let us our owed
today put some of this stuff or that stuff and here's the thing,
if you can reach that, while I begin reading from the Shema, I
have a Timothy on this this Tuesday in New Jersey where it's
raining it's been raining all morning. It's been raining all
day. And
so even if you're sure Allah to Allah it's beneficial rain and
rain can be two
as Storm was a punishment, but light rain and light drizzle are
always that
we are on chapter 50 of the summit of seydel Coney naughty of the
salt with slim
bevel my Jaffe is she and Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa early was
salam, the chapter on what came in the living How did the Prophet
live salatu salam Mohammed had been sitting
says could not in the Ebihara Ira Muhammad was sitting and of course
as the great Tabby who's famous for dream interpretation, but he
was also a Muhaddith nflt He was much more than just a dream
interpreter and secondly his book
is is not actually his It's a compilation of things he said
about dream interpretation just for your information and it's not
authenticated it's not like you can say anything that's in that
book is absolutely from Mohammed bin city it's not
it's a people rely upon it but it's not 100% from him
couldn't enter Ebihara it Oh ALLAH he fell burn Miss shuck ani mean
kit then he had two garments on and they were striped. Okay, it
appears let's see how it's translated here.
They were made of kitten it was a fine cloth, it was a good cloth.
One was at the bottom he wore it as a waist strap and the other on
top and they were died in a reddish color.
And he but He cleaned his nose in one of them.
Gut and in surprise said hola hola. Ebola is cleaning his nose
today with a cloth of kitten imagining he's blowing his nose in
it. It's probably just like rubbing his nose with it like
rubbed his nose on. Okay. He said there was a time I was lying
unconscious between the member and the room of Aisha which is what we
call the road. The road is the area from the member and the room
have said Aisha okay. Because of severe hunger I was rolling around
people thought I went insane and they just walked right over me.
They thought I was had gotten mad. You know where I was. I was not
insane. I was just extremely extremely hunger. Now did the coal
turn white?
Black then read than white. At least read at the very least read
doesn't have to be all read but it will get read
Okay, now there are a toonie we're in the, the actual rule female
being a member of a Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa he was some
of them were Hajia Aisha Radi Allahu Aranha. Maxie and Allah,
Farah G will LJ feijoada orage Allahu Allah Oakley, euro and be
hungover Oh noon Junoon they thought I was insane
well, maybe June and I wasn't insane. Oh my HoH lol June it was
nothing but hunger. Now let me tell you something about the Hoja
and Rhoda, this, this reminded me of something I wanted to say about
the omelet. If you go again, the ombre has become very difficult
for Muslim now to get as close to the Kaaba or to that older as it
used to be. And
for people who are who remember the old times, it's a bit not
upsetting. But it's like God, you can no longer just walk into the
bottom floor of the home. You have to be in Haram and present a
screenshot or a website, whatever on your phone that from the app
that says that you have signed up for aamra. Why for crowd control
purposes?
Whether you accept that or not, whatever, that's a debate you
could have all day. Why? Because they just had a 300,000 person
rave in rehab. So why are you worried about
the crowds in the autumn? Fine, whatever you want to discuss that
irrelevant, because whether whatever we think won't matter.
But what does matter is that the experience is very different. The
experience you there was no such thing as a hassle to get in, you
just went in. Same thing with Toto is go in the ladder in the years
previous to this. They had used that you stood on line. You stood
on line in like a box of people not a physical box, but in a
square. And they had like, can remember what they had like maybe
like some movable barrier.
And you're standing in a square of maybe 100 people, then they move
and there's multiple 100 people 100 people, 100 people, 100
people. So the let them in that order for 15 minutes. And then
they'll clear out that oh, the next batch, next batch next batch.
But you just walk in line, right? Now, you gotta get an app, you
download that, and they put your visa number and you do all this
headache. I never even did it the no Soukup right, it's just a
headache. But
when you go with a group, you automatically get one.
After that you have to go through that.
I was it's a bit upsetting. On the one hand on the other hand, you do
have to realize they do have to manage stampedes. They can't have
people dying, they can't have the experience be so chaotic. So this
is the lesser of two evils. Yet at the same time, a brother told me
it's harder to get into these great sites now, which is just a
reflection that it's harder to get into paradise.
In the end of time, it's not easy
to get into paradise and that's reflected here. It's not easy and
you can't just right away anymore just go touch the cabin anymore as
it used to be is like how urges how'd you like barriers you have
to overcome. And then the time is going to be limited. You're gonna
go in there we got 15 minutes. Some of the sisters got 45 minutes
some of the brothers got foot why because they went at the end of
the day when there was no one left to like the last group boom, is
they let them stay. So that's one thing I'm not gonna say it's
hating and you notice my attitude towards Saudi is a bit different
this time around my note
then the hydro that was something else. The hydro that was just
there's no excuse for that. And that has nothing to do with you
being shouted that just has to do with nobody rolls something out
this big. Two months out. Like oh, NFL Roger Goodell says hey,
there's a new ticketing system for the Superbowl you want to get your
Super Bowl tickets you got to go through this website. Okay, have
you tested it and maybe for a regular season game now we never
tested it. So you just gotta roll it out right away. Right on a
service of people who don't know anything about football because
Mottola if you remember those people there are Hindus, right?
Not even a Muslim owned company. Maybe the Muslim owned like 49% or
51% of it.
That was unexcusable. Right, but
this stuff to me. I understand that the people were getting
stampeded. The experience was almost dangerous for some people.
So I understand they have to do management control. But one thing
that really stood out for me
is that
I would say seven out of 10 of all the guards and the workers were
extremely nice and extremely polite. So
So much so that one guy who was there with his red withdraw and a
brown, Abba, Jabba whatever Bisht okay that we all know that the
word Bisht is now since messy war one, right? So that's what it's
called. And he looks like he's from like a religious department
or something. He has a nice beard and everything. That was the
nicest guy I had ever seen working there and he was making the offer.
Brother, please understand you're trying to you came from far away.
But this is for the sisters, right? The sisters are now seeing
come over on this side. Such a dub and o'clock you'd never seen
before. Right? And you remember, if you're ever been around the
block, you've been to these seminars, being looked down on
being treated like garbage. And you know, some of these they're
often that they think you're emotionally in the first place.
That's the truth, the religious commanding right in forbidding
wrong department there with their Arcada they're pulled most of the
Amazon show anyway, right?
That is not there anymore. Like you did not see that. Now, they
have regular soldiers, which is weird to see people in fatigues.
They wear these blue and gray fatigues. They're their soldiers,
which is a bit weird, but whatever. And here's the thing,
the regular guys, they don't know nothing about al Qaeda. Right?
They don't know nothing about these Islamic groups. He's just
monitoring traffic. And he'll be nice to you, and not nice to you
just based on what kind of day he's having, and what kind of
traffic there is, right? So you felt like you're talking to
regular guys, you know, it feels like this sort of harshness or
roughness that made you feel upset, right or felt like looked
down upon. The Women's testimony was as positive. Yes, that's
sometimes they were yelled at.
Nora Saunders, we met shifting off Saunders there. He said that he
had a discussion, he had an argument with the guy. And that
guy pulled them aside. He said, If you think I have something against
you, I deal with 100,000 human beings a day. Right?
And we need to move traffic, so be forgiving of us, too. So that kind
of human reaction relation with these guards was something that
was new to me. And it sort of it changed my mind a lot because
people always go, and they hate on these guards. They're so mean,
they're so rough, and they're so terrible. But I think that that's
gone. And I don't think that they use the
they don't use the religious commanding right in forbidding
wrong department anymore. They're completely disbanded, like they
don't exist. Okay.
Honestly, I think that whoever's working there was sent through
tourism classes, or they just use normal Saudis. And I've said this
before, I've never met a regular Saudi person except that their
their their genuine quality of a person, their character, their
morals, their adab with people, and that was cuts above a normal
person. Now, of course, some people who say, Oh, you didn't see
the people in Riyadh, I didn't work with those but the fuse, I
can probably count how many Saudis I met in my life, right? These are
great guys. They're like the clock on the adab of them, that they
present makes you feel like, warm on the inside. So that was my
experience with those those types of people. And
that little comment I forgot to mention about about the
Almira. And if when you go to Amara, you just got to keep in
mind, it's not so easy to get to the honom anymore. It's not so to
the SAT has the lower floor. It's not so easy. anymore to go in,
into the role. So that's a reflection of the time that we
live in. Yeah, sure. Because when I was there, it was the same
thing. Ya
know, so, yeah.
Is it permissible? If you're even if you're not intending on doing?
Is it permissible? Oh, yeah. So
no, no, I had that question came up. So for men who want to go to
the Sabha have to be in a haram and you have to show the app and
sometimes they look at the app, sometimes they don't.
Yeah, there's an app called notebook.
Yeah, so So yeah, depending on how busy it is. They want to make sure
that there's a limit and that lower floor
so if it's not busy, you could probably squeeze in. Then if it is
busy, you do have to show them that they won't let you in. Now
will the go around by it is sometimes people put their drama
on
and then they go in like they're not in ominous. They're not in
Iran, but they're wearing the Haram close. It Haram is not the
clothes. The Haram is the intention. And then that close and
it could be any clothes doesn't have to be a white shirt made on
the white that we all know about. But some people do that so they
can get into this. And
is that permitted or not? I don't think that that's I can't
really said that's forbidden. Right? Because
it's not a lie. Are you on ombre? Yeah. In general, the chip is
ombre. Right. And that's the general purpose of the trip. So
I'm on Omniture.
It's like a man made rule. Yeah. So I don't think it's going to be
too personally a big deal. People do that. You got to keep coming
for them once in their life. And as long as there's real no harm,
right? There's no harm. Like you when you see it. It's really,
really packed, then I would say, maybe let the people do the ombre
properly. Right. I would say maybe if it's like Ramadan levels, then
probably I would say we should just not overcrowd the place
because when it gets overcrowded, you do lose a little bit of
crucial. Now here's an amazing thing that happened.
It was Thursday night. We did our thing. We did our a bed that and
there are times where you could do group a bed that, like you didn't
have holidays and stuff. They're not going to bother you anymore.
No one's going around. Look at what book you're reading. They do
not care about theology at all. They just care about traffic
control. I give Holika we did Dicker. We did the Rajib.
We did everything right. And they said Just keep your crowd limited.
Don't get attention. So 2015 Guys, we did ROTC, we gave a talk etc.
We got his head came and we decided to test B we did CPM,
everything.
We then went we took a rest for about three hours, we came back at
threat. Three 315 In the morning,
in the Haram went downstairs
was one of the most beautiful things ever experienced because
around four in the morning, it started to pour
pouring, I saw a glimpse of one there by the way, right? Pouring
rain, not a drizzle, like you know like the they usually get drizzles
in the winter. This was just
everyone's got her arm was soaked, we were shivering, right? Most of
the women and men who had babies left and women who had stuff with
them, and they didn't want to get all wet and they left the guy
stayed.
And
all of a sudden, half this place was empty have to set that white
area that you see around the car was called the South. Half of it
was empty. We all got to move up. And at that point, you just stay
put, you're not going to give up this seat.
And water was sloshing all over the place. And lightning was going
across and then thunder. It was a sight to behold, I'm telling you,
you had never seen anything more awesome. And it's to hedge your
time. It's the night of Friday, little Juma and it brought
everyone almost like to their knees in a sense. And it was
something different that I think most people will have not it will
probably won't experience it again. They only get rained for
about two three months in the winter and they hadn't gotten rain
like this for a while. So this rain was it was just something you
felt special. At that time. It was a special evening, I would say how
many times you see like purple lightning going across right over
the cab. Right out loud. Claps of thunder and then if amidst all
that he gives a then have to hedge it. Remember, there's two events
there's an event an hour before fudge. Then a fetcher in which he
says a slot to create a minute No. And the place is chaos. It's no
fun chaos. It was fun chaos. It wasn't like dangerous because no
danger. But it was like a fun chaos. Right? At that point you
just submit whether you have blown Hamdulillah I had a pouch right
and nomadic if you can wear a bag with your stuff and in it haram as
long as it's on the skin and it's not being used to hold up your
home. So you were under this and put all my power stuff in the
pouch and covered it up and then at that point you said whatever
happens happens. I'm not gonna be distracted from this moment by
stuff. Right? Everything got drenched and hamdulillah the
leather pouch protected my electronics. I couldn't even take
my phone out brothers asked me did you have footage? A lot of people
took footage but I couldn't take the footage. It was so bad. Your
phone would be ruined. Right?
But you just accepted the moment. Freezing cold wet haram right it's
not a nice smooth cloth anyway.
And then
you made a lot in that and you may draw in that in the rain. It to me
as well like a night to remember it's like one of those. If you
don't keep a diary, you made a diary that night to write that in
to make sure you you remember that forever. But it was definitely
going to be something that's etched in my mind. I took that as
a gift that whole evening was a gift right? When you get an
experience like that on lay little Joma in the last third of the
night.
And then the event goes off. Right you listen to the NF tahajjud in
the middle of the rain in the middle of the chaos people running
to for cover right away
people they're new. They don't know what's going on. Right
workers trying to bucket scoop shoveling water into buckets. They
don't have drains in the side does not there's no draining. It's
purely flat. They're shoveling water in buckets.
Amazing.
Definitely a night to remember and a night you'll never forget. And I
think we got to be regulars, to these sacred places to get cleaned
out. You really feel that when you're there, you're in, you're
getting you're in a ocean of * that just cleaning you out.
Guess
because they were like they had to go get their shovels. They gotta
had buckets there. They're literally like the way we do snow
here. They're doing that with the water because there's no drainage.
And that's also the site is purely flat. This doesn't lean. If you go
to any
law land, any any built area, they have to build it on a slant,
everything, even your backyards, whether you know it or not,
there's a slim, very subtle Slynt. There's no flat but this is flat,
no drains, shoveling water shoveling shoveling, right. It's
crazy.
Saudi also did a good job in eliminating beggars. Now, I'm not
mean against beggars. Obviously, we could give sadaqa but it is a
not a good experience where every five meters is 10 Kids begging
you. You can't even enjoy piece of food like you're trying to eat,
you can't even do anything, right. Because you have someone begging
and making you feel guilty. And that practically speaking, you
can't give anything out either. Because if you give a real a coin
to one kid, you're going to be swarmed by 20 kids. Like
practically you can't do anything. So that they eliminated that
begging and that was really good. So the
the improvements, there are improvements that are a lot of
positives that you can think about. Are there a lot of
negatives in general? Yeah. But I mean, when you're going to these
trips, you're not there to think about the negatives. And then what
difference does it make if I sit there and think about the
negatives of what's happening in Saudi I'm just going to make
myself upset make you upset make everyone upset and nothing's going
to happen. Right. Okay, so they have raves in Riyadh. Alright,
keep it over there. Right away from the hunter man shitty thing.
What can I do about it to have all these concerts and stuff? That's
people are going to do the sense that they're going to do
like it's not the time when you're going to be you know, thinking
about that negativity.
Manichaean denier says, mesh heavy
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Min hubzilla Caught well
Allah, Allah, Allah Buffington. There's a typo.
It says Masha br Rasulullah No, it's mashrabiya Rasulullah
Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam okay?
The Prophet peace be upon him never ate his fill
mashrabiya Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi wa sallam. He
never ate his fill with meat and bread.
Okay, at the time of duff. I asked by the way, a Bedouin. What does
Duff mean? hamdulillah is I'm not the only one who to know what it
means. medica Medina said what is Duff? He said it is to eat
together with people a at the alpha or the Alpha. You guys call
it a Deaf it's right above it.
Jawas Dawa which means invitation it's a sounds Arabic word.
And Masha Allah rasool Allah salAllahu Alaihe Salam in herbs in
Wella Lachman in
Allah buffer
Illa de of except
when he invited people so when he ate alone in a radius fill, but
when he had an invitation or he was invited, then he ate with
them. Okay, I'll hold off. Let's look at some of the commentaries
here by the shoe.
About the previous Hadith kitten cat Den is it's fine type of cloth
so you know the scholarly family kit Danny's.
This is what it's based on. There must be cloth salesman somewhere
in their lineage. Okay, that is a fine type of cloth made of the
skin of grass.
Interesting.
woven from grass. How
anyway
long grass, maybe
the fibers of the grass. Now they said what does he mean by stepping
over his neck? Were they just walking over him? No. They what he
said he means here.
Is that they were not just walking over him, it means the other
possible meaning what he meant was, they would actually hold him
down and someone would push down with his foot on his neck. Because
it was said that that was a cure to release pressure on the brain.
A lot of maybe that was in the old days, they thought it was cure to
Junoon. So they did that to him. Okay.
And he says, Ibotta said another time, he was so hungry.
He was walking with almost, I'm gonna cut up and he passed up, he
couldn't even walk. Imagine being that hungry, that you can't even
walk.
The question of food was so important, is so important to the
people today there were certain resort or they also resort to
irreligious and how to activities that are forbidden, yet look at
this hobby, to be with the prophesy son, which he didn't have
to be, he could have been with his mother and with his tribe of dose
eating,
and sleeping and having everything you needed, but to be with the
messenger of peace be upon him.
He endured all this hunger,
and later on, and the reason was that he had wiped his nose I'm
sure he didn't blow his nose in it, he had wiped his nose like
this with a very fine garment. And he said today I'm wiping my face
with kitten and the time of the Prophet peace be upon him. I was
rolling around in hunger
the next
commentary says that
some have said that to eat a stomach full in company means that
if he was invited to eat with the people he ate this is important
add up that when your prophesy son wasn't invited
someone who cooked the food for you he ate the food he didn't say
I'm was that had and I'm gonna you know, I'm not going to eat because
that's offensive to people. There's a depth there's it's very
offensive to somebody who cooks for you that you say, oh, no, I'm
sugar free. That's a unless it's a real allergy. Like I went on our
on our on our ombre. There was a kid who was genuinely grew gluten
free. Right? No nine year old wants to be or ninth grader wants
to be gluten free. There's no ninth grade who's going to be
gluten free. He wants to eat food, right? But he genuinely gets
severe headaches from gluten. So we had to make sure he didn't eat
any gluten. So that's, that's all acceptable when you're when you
actually have an headache, but to have some kind of diet, it may be
offensive to people. So the prophesy centum ate when he was
with the people
and ordinary chance in ordinary times. I mean, he did not eat to
his fill. He never ate the regular sized meal when he was just eating
alone. Okay.
All right, so the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam was in
this situation because he gave away his food, or he gave away his
money. Or he simply was in a MACOM of Zuid where he did not eat a lot
of food. Okay, we don't say that the Prophet was poor. Right? How
was he poor? Because poor implies an inability to attain wealth.
Right? But he was in Makkah Masood by choice, because he was given
the choice. You can be Prophet king, or prophet slave. And he
chose Prophet slave that was in muck.
That was when he had the wealth.
Right right after the passing of say, the Khadija and he had all
that wealth.
So he chose to be like the people. You want it to be like the people.
And that's the way that we said that in Fez. Long time ago, a man
came and said the Prophet was poor. So the automat told them
don't say he was poor because that's your
blasphemous statement about the inability to attain wealth. That's
what you're saying. He said, No, he's poor. So okay. So you get the
punishment and he got punished. I'm not going to tell you what the
punishment was because some people might get traumatized.
I call it couldn't Allah Mohammed and Nemco to Sharon, mana Stokely
Dooby Naren in Hawaii let some roadmap. We the household of
Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would sit
for a month what would would be a month before the fire would turn
on?
Right before we would eat hot food. It's possible that we would
just have water and dates
on every thought, Uh huh. Who was the stepfather of NSmen medic, the
stepfather stepmother relationship step child is is a parentage. It's
type of parent if you have a stepchild. It's a type of child.
You have to care for them and love them like a child. If you have a
stepfather or stepmother, you have to love them and care for them.
Like it's like
parent. It's not just oh the guy who my mom married, right? Or the
woman who my dad married No, because you and her are now haram
for each other. So that means your relationship is different. And if
your mother cares for that, man, you have to care for that man. If
your dad cares for a woman, you have to care for that woman by
virtue of the parent. That's how relationships are in the slump.
Like if I'm friends with Jawad, or or Thalassa or tah tah, or it's
made, and he cares for somebody, I gotta care for that person to if I
truly liked them, right? If I truly like a person, that I have
to like who he likes, Allah has the prophet has established the
Sunnah. So that relationships can be formed and unity can be
developed. You want to talk about another implicit proof of
strengthen of Eman on these omelet trips. You got half a million
people in Mecca.
No one's making rules. Nobody is saying alright, stand up and then
goes off. Everyone stands up perfectly. You don't see crimes
happening.
Right. Like in any stadium? Probably half halfway through the
game. People are drinking. And there's fights. There's always a
little there's security station. You don't see
someone runs on the field. Right streaker right? It always
something. You know, something's happening.
You go there another No, that's happening. I want where's it?
Where's the 500,000? Person atheist conference? I'm telling
you 500,000 daily. There's probably like two at the bare
minimum.
Yeah,
yeah.
Yeah, but in Las Vegas, you're gonna have, you're not you're
definitely not gonna have the feelings. For example, you go in
America, there's someone handed up dates all the time. There's
someone out water all the time. There's someone like people are
trying to be charitable at all times. Right? Go and get those
feelings anywhere else. Where's the atheist gathering point where
you guys could all gather 200,000 Give me 200,000 Atheists right?
In one place,
and then cause one wrinkle of a problem. And let's see how quickly
that collapses. Because you have no motive. What's the motivation?
Why would I be there for my own self interest? That's it. I'm not
going to care for anybody else. But they're around the Kaaba, you
have people lifting people who fell all the time there's constant
feeling of togetherness of that these people care about one
another?
Yeah.
Really, Madina Munawwara the lowest rank was Paris, Paris. Oh
my gosh. Subhan. Allah, I need that. Yeah, somebody that. Did
y'all hear him? He said Medina was ranked as the number one safest
place for women to travel. And one of the lowest was Paris. Right?
But this is when when when a young person looks around and says, look
at all these people. There are people from the subcontinent.
There are people from Africa, there are people from Norwegian
countries, right? There are Scandinavian countries. I mean,
there are people from China. There are people from you know, the this
the Kazakhstan, right? Cricket Cricket, Stan, because you see the
vests, they wear vest sometimes. And they say their country on the
back. That's how they're identified. There are countries
that you didn't really even may not know where they are on the map
like Craig Huston, where is that? Right? Where the heck is Craig
Huston, but you see them. Okay. And everyone's together. And it
gives an implicit feeling look, all these people can't be duped.
Can't be duped. Right. They're all here. And everyone's
let's see connecting travel. This is a website called Connecting
travel. If you can see this, it says the top five safest cities in
the world for female solo travelers. Medina 10 out of 10 say
the codename la salatu salam, it's the city.
Chiang Mai Thailand. 9.06 out of 10. So a whole point nine four
difference not not a close.
Percentage. Dube 9.04 out of 10 Kyoto, Japan. 9.02 out of 10.
Macau, China 8.76. Now the least safest cities in the world. Okay.
Paris, France.
Jakarta, Indonesia. Come on Indonesians. What's going on?
In making this look that Delhi, India, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
What's Malaysia, like Malaysia safer for a woman to travel the
New York, Kuala Lumpur, the New York. Johannesburg, South Africa.
Very interesting, really interesting. But most importantly,
number one said that Conan who else here Turkey is here on Talia
As the 10th safest place for women's transfers This was based
on * survey asking women where they feel safest walking, okay
surveys basically stuff like that so what about police reports like
person based on that but I think part of it was also asking like
actual solid traveling
time check right What time is it 216 One more Hadith and then we go
for q&a
This hadith is from said Sal Islam, and yes Edom that'd be one
source on Amazon abitata shikonin Allah Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam algebra we complained of severe hunger to the Prophet What
a fun Antonina we showed him we that we had wrapped stones
on our stomachs and they would they would tie a stone to ease the
pangs of hunger pangs because if your stomach is empty, there's a
pain there. So they wrap a stone around their stomach like wrap a
belt around your stomach imagine that to shrink the stomach
together so it doesn't feel the pain. The profits I sent him
lifted his stomach and had two stones on it. In other words, he
had not eaten even more so than that than they had not eaten.
Okay, let's see what he says in the commentary here
Prophet peace there's no no much commentary just straight up that
the Prophet peace be upon us to feel the what his Sahaba were
feeling he never made himself different from the Sahaba
okay, it is now time for q&a. If you asked a question. I don't want
to scroll up because it always as I said it messes up everything
when I scroll up. So just bring your
bring your questions in now the first question, or the first
comments from Quran beheld follow our official page for upcoming
content and updates on the Quran beheld insha Allah. Next comment
is derived from Samuel Moza Mulder, may Allah give us the
ability to visit Mecca and do Hajj and visit Medina. Charles Fahad
Chaudry says, Are you from Edison or what?
How would you how would you end he says, Are you a Chevy? Maybe the
black turban is throwing him off? He thinks I'm a Chevy.
There's no there isn't a Shia here at hamdulillah Is there a way to
change one's maiden name without changing it legally?
When it comes to the names that it is preferable to leave your name
as it is because it is represents your father. However, it is not
your last name is a lookup. There's no no shutter a and Shinya
there's no last name, what the prophet forbade you doing is
changing your father's
name in this respect of saying instead of I'm the son of
Abdullah, you start saying I'm the son of Abdel Hamid. So you've
altered who you're the kid of that is where that is completely
forbidden. But if you don't like the lock up that you have, let's
say you're
let's say Hasson
a Lakhmi. Right? And you come to a country where they can't pronounce
a Lakhmi. So you change it to anything else. Whatever you want.
You own yourself, you give your lockup, you wish you own your
name. Okay? Let's say your name is
like, I don't know, some other name. Okay, softer. And you go to
a country where that it's not a nice word in their language, you
are your lawfully allowed to change your name. Right, you own
your name at a certain point. So you can go and lawfully start and
you can start telling everyone Stop calling me that call me
cutting, right. All that is allowed.
Yeah, if you adopt somebody,
or the technical term would be taken care of taking the respond,
fostering somebody, okay, if you foster somebody, that as long as
they know who their dad is, they have to know who their father
truly is, if they know that, and they have to know that you're not
the debt. That's there, right? Because what the shear is
protecting from is this is number one mixing up of lineages, but
number two, also this traumatic thing that Oh, I discovered at 19
He's not my real dad. That's not my mom at 19. That's too much
trauma for a kid. And it's all about Hawk unbutton. You are not
the father, so don't claim it. Right? So
you can you can give him his last, your last name, the last name.
Remember, it's just a lack of a nickname. As long as he
understands who his father is, right now.
Yeah, how many Pakistani families everyone in the family has got a
different last name? Right? So like the dad, his last name is his
dad's dad. His dad. Right? The kid, their last name is his dad.
Right? Happens all the time. So the like,
should go off to Ahmed and Salah Ahmed, and then the dad is Ahmed
resemble, right? And it's just because these are up there just
nicknames the last name, it literally has no effect. It's not
a shot, it is not a shittier category. What is a shittier?
Category is who's given your that you can never change. Jawad ibn
Abdullah, you can never change that.
Right? And you should not claim that someone else's your dad and
disclaim your dad, or your mom, of course.
So that's how it works with names. Now, if the last name is
perceived, it's perceived as a family connection, then you
shouldn't change what comes through to change that. If it's
perceived that way. And if it's not a common culture, like let's
say, in the subcontinent lands, and an is Turkey, the women change
the last name when they get married, right. But in other
countries they don't.
So maximum will be mcru.
Question from Superman says, Can one take knowledge from a person
of knowledge whose private sins of fascia were exposed to the world?
You can take technical knowledge that can be judged right or wrong.
But spiritual insights and that type of BS stuff? Probably not. We
ask a lot offense, and I'm from the exposure of sense. So what do
I mean by that? For example, if someone wrote a book and well
suited, well suited FIP it's a science. You can go and re verify
what he's saying, right? And then you could realize it's all
verified but the way he distilled the knowledge is so efficient and
so good. I'm going to read I want to read that book. You can do
that. There's nothing wrong with that.
But if you if it's a situation where it's spiritual insights and
tarbiyah, then no.
Unless those is exposed sins was long ago when he made Toba.
How do I get closer to our holy book is to open it and recite from
daily even if a small amount, but it's the daily
I'm out. seminary and I just came back from Omaha as well. Can you
come in on people wearing shoes inside the home, as long as the
shoe is pure, it is permitted to wear shoes around the Hudson,
especially making Tawaf on the second floor or the roof. That is
what how many miles of two off is that? I think that each lap is
half a mile. Right? Each. Each lap is half a mile point four, four
miles. And it could be more if they force you on the edge due to
construction. So when we're walking, first of all
very sad. Someone jumped I think some people
from the second floor. Yeah.
I think some people may be on drugs or something.
He jumped but he didn't die. Because he fell on an old lady.
Right?
That's someone where even at this you failed Sivan hula right. And
you put him fell on a poor old lady. She's probably broken right
now. Right? All over the place, but he jumped. So what did they
do? Of course, there's already a plastic
plexiglass
there so you could see the kava through but there's plexiglass.
Now they put another barrier in front of that. So people don't
jump, they're probably going to have a double the plexiglass. So
make it five, six feet and then no one can jump. Because right now
you could just literally can jump it's pretty easy to jump, but
they're probably going to elevate the plexiglass. So a great job
because you guys we all have to see the camera through Plexiglas
fine. Now he's going to put they put another barrier, then that
barrier
from there is praying place for Salah and then they put like a
thin line of tape. Like like a caution tape. Right. So you have
between the second floor edge of the second floor. And where you're
actually making to off is a good
20 feet. Right.
So now add 20 feet from the distance to the curb.
So you're walking there. Now naturally, you're not going to
always get to that edge, add another 10 feet where you probably
most likely be walking on average. So you it's you're adding that 30
feet then you keep walking. There are areas where they're doing
construction on the ceiling so they wall that off so you have to
walk probably another 50 feet back around that area.
You're walking a lot. You're allowed to wear shoes as long as
there's no no just on the shoes, no problem with them. Mina says,
I'm from Seattle, and I want to move to Dallas away from
liberalism. Would you advise that? Yeah, 100% I wouldn't live with
these people. I will not live with these people. Secondly, she looks
like a white convert, you'll get along fine. In Texas, no one will
bother you.
By the way, Tennessee SubhanAllah. Tennessee has them some serious?
Let me tell you a story of one of the people who are there. One of
the I'm not gonna say any names, of course. But it's such an
amazing story. Where a family has is part white, part ethnic,
they're part white, and they're part not what, okay. So they look
different from all of the white Christians that are there. And
we're talking 80s. Right, this sister probably in her in high
school in or an 80s or 90s.
And they're on a class trip.
And there's, there's a port portion of the class trip where
it's at nighttime. And before then they're all in one of the teachers
cars. And they're going to go out for a meal or something like that.
But anyway, they're all in a teacher's car. Teacher says, All
right, I'm not moving this car, unless everyone professes their
love of Christ and their devotion to Christ, our Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ. So one by one, each girl says, I'm all about Jesus
Christ, and I love Jesus Christ, and I'm born again and whatever
they say, I don't know what the words they say.
Then they get to her. Right? Now, she's a regular innocents. Like,
at that point, she didn't even have much,
you know,
action in the deen. Like, she wasn't really involved. It's just
a Muslim. She knows she's a Muslim. That's it. But she's not
living the life where, okay, we're Muslims. And this is how we are
blah, blah, blah. And you can't even tell.
Right? That she's a Muslim.
So, and she's telling the story that this was the moment that she
decided I'm in. I'm in a slump. Right? So but but this is really
moment was from Allah, because you're in a melting pot. And all
of a sudden, this lady says, We're not moving this car, unless you
all profess your devotion to Jesus Christ, right? So she's like, out
of the blue in the middle of a regular evening. It's like a gun
to my head of what religion you are. And she said, it was so
shocked. But then all of a sudden, I just said, Well, I guess I'm
getting out of the car. Right? Because I'm a Muslim, I guess I'm
getting out.
I thought that was so amazing. Because when Allah wants to choose
someone, or give you some moment of Amen, or make a line in the
sand, it just happens. It's not it wasn't planned. It wasn't
something that there was no build up to it.
But obviously, her parents had raised her enough that she's a
Muslim, and they're in the heart of Tennessee, which is, or
wherever they were in the south, that they can do that stuff in the
public schools, right? The public school teacher could do that, and
get away with it. But she put a line in the sand, right? And then
she said, From then on, that that was my life. From then on. I
thought somehow that was an amazing story.
So for men up, I definitely would suggest that you get out from
these people because it proved this story proved the point. To
have an enemy who is a clear enemy is lesser evil than an ally, who
is actually an enemy. Because the liberals, they will profess a love
of diversity and they want your Islam, be a Muslim, whatever, but
also be everything else. And so that negates your Islam. And I'm
telling you the mindset has seeped in. Poor appeal. Okay,
Mr silky haired, offbeat, who got roasted on the last day of the
podcast, before we left for asking if he could sleep on a silk pillow
to protect his princely hair that I guess he's from the Mughal
emperors of India or something like that. And he has this
beautiful silky hair, he doesn't want a single hair to fall out. So
there's a restaurant there was a restaurant here in the area that
is a Muslim Halal restaurant, but they have Hindu idols pour out the
goes in there. And he says, Hey, I just think it's appropriate to
have an idol. This is this is a regular Muslim kid from Jersey
This is not somewhat heavy, right? By the way, some things the
whatever you say is correct, by the way, right everything every
group is right at some point and this one is there they would be
right about it to not everything that's what have you is bad. This
one was correct. But anyway, he just puts a regular posts I don't
think they should have idols. Now if anything for Islamic restroom,
Muslim, anything Muslim, shouldn't it?
You do assume that you shouldn't have an idol, right? That's an
assumption.
Right, because if anything is the biggest thing that contradicts our
Islam is shook. The poor kid gets roasted, he gets roasted, and it
just reveals the liberal. All religions are equal, never get
passionate about your faith. That is a liberal
quality. Right? That's a liberal quality. That's not like a human
quality that's a particularly liberal quality.
And you could trace it back. And you probably studied this where
the first Frenchman and the first British authors to try to water
down all faiths. Right? And that the only true thing is that not to
harm another person. And I'm telling you, when you trace it
back, it was heretics who came up with this idea. heretics within
their culture at that time, were the ones who came up with the
concept and idea that the only real virtue is just don't hurt
another person. And the state has its laws, and it should be
tolerant of all faiths. And don't say what one faith is right and
one faith is wrong. Guaranteed. The founders of that those ideas
or people had no faith. That's why they're saying these things. Now
appeal gets mocked, made fun of
and be set. Oh, tell them in private. Oh, this isn't something
to be critiqued. Wait, does that get the whole page is critiquing
the chutneys and the recipes of the baton that I joined as soon as
he posted? Yeah, yeah, he was getting roasted, roasted. But but
the the whole? Why is it the whole rest of the page is all about, oh,
I went in and the service wasn't good. I went in, and I wasn't
treated politely. So you care more about yourself than an idle being
there. Or I went in there and the Cora was two hours old, right? And
it was not crunchy or whatever like that. That's the nonsense
that you all accept. But when a poor Muslim kid, you should be
happy that a Muslim kid comes and says, Wait a second. We don't
worship other gods. Do we? There's another God up there. Right. So
can you take that down? If it's a halal restaurant, if there were
selling pork? Wouldn't that be worthy of a review? Oh, the the
the biryani has some pork there's a pork Brioni as an outrage,
right. Pork biryani.
He's just saying it's tough for the love from a pork biryani.
Right? You just desecrated the recipe on top of that it's Hello,
right?
To be criminalized.
It's the liberal mindset has seeped into so many Muslims.
Right. And I guarantee you these. And some guy made an amazing
statement. He said, If a Hindu walked in there, and said, It
offends me that you put a God up there in a restaurant gods don't
belong in restaurants, right? If it offends me as the core that you
use a Hindu God as decoration, and it should be respected and let us
Hindus take care of our gods and put them where we want to put
them. The whole thing we'd be rushing within minutes, it'd be
gone. Because that has to do with sensitivity of diversity, right?
Sensitivity diversity, which is a liberal quality, right? Being
sensitive to people's culture. Okay, whereas being sensitive to
Arcada is not part of liberal, the liberal mindset.
This just goes to show that that whole thread just goes to show how
liberalize the minds of Muslims have become, and I'm sure that
they're great people and everything, but they don't realize
that what they fallen into, and the usual things, Oh, don't be a
religious that please don't be holier than thou. What's holier
than now, this is a basic truth. It harms humanity, if they worship
idols, and it frees humanity. If you worship Allah, this is the
best thing you could do for somebody.
If I went in there, and I got poisoned in a restaurant, and I
didn't say anything, and then you went and you went and you and you
all got poisons, Am I guilty or innocent? I'm guilty, right?
Because I harmed you. So we got to shut out poison. And there's
poison of the mind and of the heart, superstitions, all these
things, all these should get, and these things, they come in slowly.
And clearly. The temperature on this thing is getting higher
because now
Muslims are berating a Muslim for being upset about idolatry in a
Muslim restaurant, so that so it's working, the desensitization is
working very well.
Comments taking shots. Yes, like every other post every post, but
then when he talks about an idol, he gets roasted. Yeah. They talked
about poor in the middle. And I'll never forget this one. In the
middle of the pandemic, when restaurants are going belly up.
Left and right restaurants are gone, but they can't pay the rent
anymore. They can't pay their workers anymore. They have no one
to cook. Right. They have no one to buy food in the middle of the
pandemic.
A woman puts in
a post in this. People don't know what we're talking about. We're
talking about Jersey Khaled food Facebook page.
They don't know what we're talking about. I should have mentioned it.
What we're talking about is the jersey. What is it called? Jersey
Khaled spots Facebook page. This page is a riot. It's, it's every
month. It's a different entertainment. This one was pretty
sad, to be honest with you. I know that this mindset existed, but I
didn't realize like poor
guy would get roasted like this for calling out an idol. If he
called out. Oh, there was a little bit too much cardamom pods in my
food. They would say okay, well noted. We'll make sure that we put
less. No, no, he's calling a shipwreck and idle. That means a
Muslim used his hands, purchased it and put it there. That's far
worse than zero. Right? That's far worse than pouring beer all over
your biryani.
Right? Anyway, the Hanafis can drink to that if it's not going to
make them drunk anyway, but we'll leave that for another point.
Okay. But it's far worse than pouring alcohol all over your
food, or putting bacon bits. And discovering that my food has bacon
bits in it. That's far worse. And he got made fun of badly mocked.
So this hello Jersey spots. In the middle of the pandemic, a lady
puts in a post. And she says it's unacceptable. Unbelievable. I
ordered Hello, pepperoni pizza. And the pepperoni is not evenly
distributed.
And the owner had to get on there. And and say that I think that the
driver, right when he drove the cheese may have shifted around.
Right? So I apologize. And he's like apologizing to the lady.
Right? But you're gonna go in COVID and try to ruin a guy's
business.
over that. That's the crowd that we're talking about here. Wow. And
then and then when idols are called out
Colosse he is the worst of the worst that we shouldn't criticize.
That we shouldn't criticize, but the pepperoni. The the the
freshness. The here's the funniest one. North Jersey, Central Jersey
is all Desi. North Jersey is all Palestinians. Okay. There's a
Paris Palestinian restaurant called Buddha's. It's one of the
best Palestinian foods you can get it. Right. This was one of the
most epic posts. Well, a sister from a daisy sister from Central
Jersey, where people generally have manners, right? And are
polite. She goes up to us, right? And she writes a post. It's It's
hilarious. She says that she's there sitting in the not no
smoking section and a guy smoking, right?
And she says, Excuse me
to the waiter, please tell him not to smoke because it's a non
smoking section. And I don't want to smoke when I'm eating my
Palestinian food. I don't want to smell the smoke. So the waiter
goes, and the guy keeps smoking.
Nothing happened. So she says this time I said to the guy. Excuse me,
sir. This is the no smoking section. Right? And we're trying
to enjoy our meal here. And you're smoking. The guy turns around and
he says I'm the owner of the restaurant smoker everyone you
don't like it leave. Welcome to North Jersey. Welcome to
Batterson. Right. Welcome to deal with Palestinians and Patterson
set your mouth. I own the place. That's what he said. Right? You
find every possible critique in this restaurant. And this website.
Do you have to apply to get in or you could just go like 12,000
people, you guys should all join for entertainment purposes. I
literally only joined just to see like what Yeah, okay.
Every month it's hilarious to watch sometimes. Every month
someone sends me on WhatsApp.
An absurd thread or an absurd comment or a screenshot. it's to
me it's comedies funny. Yeah.
Which hotel is best for older people? And is it a sawed off to
book?
An expensive hotel for ease? No, it's not a sort of. And in Medina,
there are
two streets of hotels that are very easy to go to like daata
towhead is the Intercontinental then there's the front TL Hotel,
which is one street behind that that's where we stayed. So the
first two streets in Medina in Mecca. It's the clock tower and
the Hilton next to it. All those hotels there are a number of
buildings you'll see those are the easiest hotels for the elderly to
stay up.
What about people who get ill and Amara? Inshallah you can treat
that as a photo for them and that's the purification but when
you get when you go to Omura
you actually need to be pretty sturdy, not for Medina. Medina is
fine for Mecca. That too often say it's not as
Not that it's not that easy, right? So you need to be sturdy.
On top of that your immune system needs to be sturdy by drinking a
lot of orange juice a lot of vitamin C. And because the
microbes of the whole world are there in Mecca, and Medina is
probably worse because it's closed roof muck is open air, at least
people coughing goes straight up. But in Medina, it's, you're most
likely going to be praying under a roof. So all those microbes are
going around all the microbes of the world and get sick once or
twice, and you'll be stronger after that.
Just paying off a debt that your dad owes while he's still alive
count as Akka. That's a great question. And yes, it counts
paying payment of debt counts for Zika for your debt, but not upkeep
of your debt. upkeep of your dad is foot payment of his debt is not
fudged. You can't pay Zika on taking care of your parents you
have to take care of your parents, but you can pay Zika for their
debts. Very good question. They're
a little bit
ahead Bates can not receive the care for themselves. So you're
asking can we pay the debts of added Bates
Yeah, that's
that's, that's your own family family. That's not for him to eat
and live. For him to eat and live. You have to pay for that. That's
fun. It no campaigns account for that. But to pay off their debts.
Yes, you can do that. You can pay zakat use your account money to
pay off his debts. My dad is in the house. He looks like he's
coming in looking like ganda from Egypt. Does
anyone have you know the undoes what they look like in Egypt? The
fella here? Okay. He's got the big Egyptian sleeve. Right. And he's
got a nice scarf.
I have no idea. What's up. You still studying? Pharmacy? You get
you taken winter break now. Yeah, come to LA that's why it's here.
He studied so hard. We never see him unless it's the break.
All right. Forbidding evil is seen as being judgmental. Bucha Beckham
says.
Here's a question for you. Oh, Islam is about intention. They
told Aki son was about intention. Okay, why doesn't he get the same
accommodation? Why doesn't the guy who is calling out idols get the
same accommodation as the guy who put up the idols? Right? Oh, it's
all about intention. Leave, leave the guy alone, because that's his
intention. It's between him and Allah. He's trying to do something
good. You perceive that as harsh.
Hmm. Yeah, hello, I'm not gonna lie. And that's it. We just judge
someone on the outside. But the the idea of the intention is wrong
in the first place. We don't judge people, people's actions, by their
intentions. You judge the action by the lawfulness of the city. If
you judge their hearts. You leave that alone. Right? The heart you
leave it alone, because I can't see your heart. But knock on
divide, say normal said, which means that if you pick up a
Budweiser and you drink it, I'd say to you, that's haram.
Right? And you say, Oh, well, you don't know what's in it, I washed
it down on it put water doesn't make a difference, right? Because
on the outside, it's a Budweiser, right? So I have the right to tell
you that's wrong. And it is haram for you to drink out of a
Budweiser can what no matter what juice or whatever. But no one says
drinking Budweiser and say, Oh, judge it by his intention, what
intention? That's how long period? Okay? You didn't know fine. We'll
be nice to you. We'll be gentle to you. You can say that. But an
outward action is judged by the law. A public action is criticized
in public.
Why should they say praise him in private and public critique in
private? Why should I critique in private when he put the idol in
public? The idol is in public, this actually assigned and I
believe that it's in UK, but his introduction? If not, it's in one
of the other books,
where he says that of the worst people. Society is someone who
sins publicly, and nobody critics criticizes him publicly. That
means that the care for the truth is completely gone. They're
embarrassed so but the ability to disobey Allah publicly is there.
That means it's a very bad sign for those people that the sinner
is so strong he can go do it in public disobey Allah in public,
but the one who forbids wrong yes to stay silent.
It's a very bad sign
um, MJ says what are your thoughts on someone who wants to go do
jihad to protect the Muslim ummah?
I don't see where he's gonna go do jihad.
I don't know where he's going. Where is the valid Jihad these
days?
go to Craigslist type in valid, lawfully valid jihad in the United
States in the world. I don't know where one is to be quite honest
with you.
You'd get flagged for typing it in.
You you'd get flagged for bringing it up on the thing.
No timestamp for that.
You had enough?
Yeah, but it was Jane had enough that you had to date. According to
some of the data we've
got is Jihad Al ban, clarifying the truth, the jihad of clarifying
the truth. That's the That's, and it's not the jihad that's going to
you're going to be a martyr that we don't wash or or prey upon,
or shroud. But it is a jihad where,
in the sense of putting a great effort and getting you're gonna
get a feedback, that's negative, you're gonna get, you're gonna get
bad feedback. Here we go talking about Schick and the Muslims
themselves, have braided the guy. I hope he had allies in that in
that he had people defending that's good. They're all getting
roasted. Everyone's getting roasted and mocked.
Yeah, let's get all roasted together. It's fun to get roasted
brings down the hammer and said that you and the other side will
get roasted in the fire. Well, hopefully they won't get roasted
in the fire. They'll correct their position. Right? But Subhanallah
what it's
we got to the point that that liberal mindset, we have to
extract it from our minds. That liberal mindset of those people
that criticize that passion for your beliefs, is to be shunt
passion for all diversity, even if it contradicts your God is to be
accepted. That's a summary of it. Right? Passion for a set of
beliefs is to be shunned. But passion for diversity, even cover
is to be accepted. That's the whole last of the whole thing. X
YRC says I don't or Ali Ali Amanda says what goals should we focus on
leading up to Ramadan prep? Okay, I actually wanted to read the
question before about no go, oh, hijabi bloggers. I don't think
it's right. When men tried to advice a job the bloggers in
public on their Instagram posts. Yeah, it does feel a bit weird. If
a guy is writing to a woman forbidding wrong on her hijab, the
blog post, why are you there in the first place? That's why right.
Are you there in the first place? And, you know, the Instagram
bloggers, that's a whole world. It's a whole nother world? And
I don't know, I don't have much comments. I don't know, I've never
looked into it. Except my only comment was that. I mean, if my
own daughters said, I'm going to be a hijabi. Blogger, I would say
that there is some Hydromat there. What are the Mohamed's putting
yourself in a public thing where anybody could look at your
picture, then it could be screenshotted and passed around.
And you're not putting up a picture like a staff picture at a
hospital, which is not a problem, right? All right, we need all the
nurses to line up all the doctors to line up to so that people could
see who works with us, right? And who's who, that's fine. Not a
problem. But they're not doing that they're they're not even
giving a talk on a subject of their expertise, which you could
say okay, even that fine. You give a talk about some area of
expertise that you have that benefits the world. And people may
still criticize that because you you inviting people to stare at
you, but find that there can be commentary both ways. I've seen
you go both ways on that.
You're doing it for fashion, that means you have to look good. You
have to look good. Very good to Okay. Now you're actually inviting
people to stare at your picture.
I like to take sometimes it's it's too good to be true because of the
filters and whatever else they're doing. Right. So from that aspect,
I would say to my own kid, that's haram.
Right? The technology is dangerous to like the defect. Yeah, I guess
take the pictures and put it they could take that picture and put it
on some other body. Right? That could like so from that aspect, I
would say Heather volterman who this is something to be avoided.
That's just a general statement about blogging and pictures in
general.
Okay, she says I'm a convert I had an ex husband, last name and I
change it to Mina legally, am I supposed to change it back to my
father's last name, you own your last name. You can change it to
whatever you want. But what you should not do is say that you are
the daughter of a different man. That's what's going on. And in our
western culture.
Nobody does that. Nobody goes around saying, I'm Mark son of
Jim. Right. So he there's less to worry about. But it's funny that
some of the guys in Philly.
from Germantown mosque, they started this trend. Right. And
they would start the cause of Abdullah Abdullah head.
Son of gem, right? Yeah, like that they would they actually started
the oven thing, which I think it's sort of cool.
Yeah.
Yeah. Ben ve en, right. That's Moroccan for sure. Is it Moroccan
or Jewish? Because they're the ones who write it like that. Chief
Latif says a friend recently became Muslim How can I best
support him and put him on ArcView classes this early in his journey.
At this point, it's not about classes about hanging out with you
make sure he hangs out with you and the other Muslims in an
informal Hangout, let him befriend Muslims. That's the most important
thing. A Lodi says unemployed says my students tell me their goal in
life to be as a blogger a tick tock, oh my gosh, that's a
problem. Tell them by the time you get to high school, it's going to
be a different app anyway.
Noodle, Hoda says why are descendants of the Prophet
considered Alan Bates if lineage is transmitted through the father?
That's a good question. The Quran proves that lineage for one
generation can be transmitted through the mother. What's the
proof of that? Allah subhanaw taala attributing Sade Nisa to
Ibrahim
as a grandfather, attributing, say, Nisa to be from the lineage
of Ibrahim. So how did he become from lineage of Ibrahim through
his mom, that is the proof that it has been an Hussein
are from the lineage of the prophets, I send them and also on
top of that, the explicit evidence of that is the prophet put his
cloak around Hasson Hussain Ali and Fatima and he says, oh, must
have Allah these are my eight.
Youth HIV uncle rich sir ll bait. So the Prophet did that. And then
one of the wives of the Prophet was standing and she said, and me
too, and he said on YouTube, so I will bait it encompasses those who
lived with the prophet as his family, and specifically these
five, Al keyset. They're called. And then on top of that avenue
lineage that goes back to Abdon Multilib, which today that only
exists as lineage of Hassan Hussain thought of appeal Jaffa
and Ibis everything else has died off, all other lineages have died
off. Sara says, Would it be permissible to teach English as a
second language to adults of the opposite gender over the phone? No
video, sometime the lesson is free talk to help them practice their
English skills, it would be preferable if there were some
others in the room on your side. And that they knew that there were
some others in the room on their side, because it could lead to
some intimacy, and hello to us is there's a specific clutter and
there's a broader clutter. A specific clutter was anything
we're intimacy could be neither the general katoa is anything
where there can be intimacy, even a public space. So if there's a
field a huge field,
there's no walls around this field, but a guy and a girl go so
far.
And there are some trees and bushes blocking them that they
could possibly be intimate together without anyone seeing
them. That's Carlo, even if there are no walls around them. And
likewise, chit chatting over the phone, of course, he's going to be
teaching. But nonetheless, it's still there's a potential that
could be intimate. So this may be done. If there's some other person
in the room and the listener, the student should know that. Right?
That there's another person in the room, and you put him on
loudspeaker, right? So that would eliminate the shipper from that.
And even that some people may be, may get a little bit
unhappy with that, because still there could some attachment may
develop because it's one on one. And you're just having general
talk. So you have to consider all these things. So if your mom is
with you in the room, or somebody's with you in the room
that says makes the matters safer. And if you can't do all that, then
you can turn him down.
Hamza as easy says, Isn't you had done by permission of both the
ruler and the parents? Yes, that's correct. That's correct. Jihad has
to be done by not permission of the parents all the time, only if
they're in need of you. Only if they're in need of you, then that
becomes an issue. And there has to be a ruler to and there could
there ever be a jihad without a ruler? Yes, there could be in the
case of an invasion. Right? And there's no ruler. Right? Then you
don't need his permission, or he's announced a general we need all
your help, like
what's the boy from Ukraine? Remember those early videos come
and help us out? Right fight against the Russians versus not
yet but
Bosnia in the 90s right where it just everyone come Afghanistan,
everyone come
and help us fight the enemy for the dose says Islam has become
strange amongst the believers very sad one is judged to have
extensive judge or have to extensively explain obeying the
basic Fuhrer it's crazy and aka it now for now isn't obligations and
she means you're aka to it's crazy and it's tiring that's all get
roasted to God that that's that's one of the purposes of this
livestream we could all be like that minority of the OMA at least
wait maybe we're not such a minority is 120 people here to
you
yeah
Dino palavra says scrolling through Instagram I've also become
an expert on how to tie a jab because of how many hijab tying
ads there are and whatever Superman says it is appropriate to
criticize so called out that's the question. We answered that
already.
Let's keep going Moab. I have non Muslim Arab friends who sometimes
greet me with Salam aleikum. Can I say why do you call me Salam? I
believe that the statement of the province is Salam
is that he used to say salam ala Manitoba.
Why are the Muslim in the covered they can be like, That's what I
was taught and I know the Muslim and the Kevin get a greeting that
is the same greeting. So you say why they cool or Scylla mono
Manitoba Hoda like that or you can get woke on them and say don't
appropriate our culture, right.
Or you could say what Salafi talk radio said is we don't give the
lamb to the innovator.
Too bad they stopped those skits. There were some skits called Santa
Fe talk radio. They only made to
crack me up every
once in a while listen to them.
Yeah, exactly.
Strangest says what would happen if an oppressed person keeps
repeating yeah when tuck him oh
if you're truly oppressed and you call upon that, it will you will
receive insha Allah Tala they will receive the intercom from you
intercom means avenge.
Heavy what is the statement Yamantaka him Oh, Avenger to
avenge
the my presser? How do I answer the question what's the meaning of
life when a non Muslim acid ultimate meaning of life is for us
to choose to love and obey our Creator and to earn Paradise by
our own free choice that's entered to witness the creation and the
secrets of this creator, to be witnesses of it and to follow Him
and obey Him and love Him by choice with options because the
angels were created to didn't fulfill
what Allah had wanted, because they worship Allah without any
choice. In other words, they do not even have the option inside of
them. There is not even a desire to disobey Him. They're perfect.
So if you if I give you if you're starving, and I give you one meal,
you're going to eat it. You have no other choice, right? If I then
ask you how it is? How do you like the meal I cooked for you? You
have to tell me that you like it because you have no choice? Or
maybe your mother in law gives you food? Do you like it? Of course I
like it because she's looking right at me. Right? I have to say
I like it. And you have to you can lie even at that point.
So secondly, Allah to Allah wanted to willed to purify this freewill
and make it truly genuine. He put us in a world where we perceive
distance from him. We perceive there's no distance from us on a
laptop, but we perceive that distance. Okay. So if now your mom
mother in law walks out of the room, right, and you're just with
a bunch of guys, not even her daughter, and someone that says
and then someone brings other options of food, her food
and bake.
KFC biryani all other rest food.
Now that's the real test. Right? That's the real test. Now if with
she's not there, not her dog, none of the family's there and I got 10
options and I still choose that option. Right. And let's add
another layer to this.
All the other food is decorated. Right and of course,
right? The Desi is not a decorator food with all the food coloring on
the shelf right. And Arabs decorate their food everyone
decorates their food and an own
their own way. But this food is not decorated, it's Blent. Right?
No decoration on the food. So it looks like it's not good. And the
container is not good. Everything else is another nice container.
Because what did the Prophet say Allah has dressed paradise and
covered it with hardships. So it's layers to purify and make genuine
your free will. And your choice that now when you choose that, for
sure you love her food better than everything else. When you have all
those options, your fried chicken, cheeseburger, pizza, all the other
video and he Turkish food, whatever food that you like, and
then her food, all that's decorated and free. Her food you
have to pay. And it's in plastic, and it's not decorated. And she's
not even in the room to see if you like it or not. And you still
choose that. That's a total proof right there. Right? That's
nobody's watching. And on top of that, all the peer pressure, all
your friends are saying leave that food, eat this. But yet you still
look at how many layers now all these layers that Allah is putting
in front of us. So that when we make that decision now, then we
have truly shown the genuine choice that we chose our Creator
over everybody else.
That's the whole purpose. So well then when that person gets
paradise he's truly earned.
Is it backbiting? If we talk about celebrities, such as Sony 700.
If it's talking backbiting about a celebrity in something that they
did that is a warning to others, because everyone's following them.
So if everyone's following a public figure, and they're going
into doing something bad, then whatever it takes to get people
away from following them, even if it has to do with mocking
something about them. Right is permitted. So if I was to have a
person, a young person who's all about a certain celebrity, and I
said, Look what the drugs made him look like, right? He's on drugs,
whatever. Look at his life. It's messed up. It's ruined his Do you
ever see Artie Lange? Do you ever know who are you know, Artie Lange
was our design was a comedian when I was young. And he used to sniff
his nose is like this. No, it's so messed up. I don't even think he
goes in public anymore. I don't know. Right. But it's so messed
up. He was a filthy comedian. He was one of those comedians who
tried to make his living off of shocking everybody. So he'd go on
The Tonight Show and curse, like on live TV or whatever. And he
tried to get himself a,
you know, notoriety, like Howard Stern, and all these other guys by
shocking everybody. But he felt he was a filthy type of guy. And if
someone was, let's say, attracted to that, then we said, look at the
results. And I have to tell you, there are some dots that are
attracted to Trump's method of of shock and controversy and
conflict, and name calling. And it is a technique that gets you a lot
of attention in exchange for your self respect. And then as a
Muslim, you're who were and a lot of things that are required in the
Sharia. You're trading that and a lot of Muslims do that. No, like,
let's go and make a whole video making fun of someone calling him
a name, and having a conflict and creating a drama and getting all
the likes and all that tension. So we have to say like some like,
like,
when it comes to that, I have to wait until that person collapses.
Right? And then I have to show them, look, look what that
resulted in. You're allowed to do that. To get people away from
following someone who's gone the wrong path. prophesize send him
called a will come Abuja and he called his own uncle Abu Lahab.
mocking them to keep people away from them. That's when it's
permitted. And it's more permitted for a Kaffir than to do that to a
Muslim, which we shouldn't really do that to a Muslim unless he's
really misguiding. The people
like in the reputation culture, that kind of like started on
YouTube, I think the refutation culture has, they're all informed
by Trump's Trump's method of getting attention. It's that
they're all using that our a lot of them I should say, not all of
them. A lot of them are using that. It's conflict name calling.
Coming up with little nicknames for people. It's folk.
It's not appropriate. The lady calls out in the back, right? What
did you say? It's offensive is Oh, good poke on?
The guy. For me, it's comedy because I don't like any of them.
Right? It's comedy, but you do that now inside of the OMA of
Islam.
Doesn't work. That will not work. It's incongruence. It's in
congruent with what you're calling to. Why do you want to purify the
athlete of Islam?
Right.
For the love of Oman.
For the love of Allah okay then why are you on are obeying Him?
Why why are you going mocking all these people? So that's the idea
here
is even a scholar who becomes who makes a misguided decision
if there's still any within the Sunnah, but they made a misguided
decisions still deserves a modicum of respect.
But those guys want to sell that for the likes. They're getting the
likes, stuff. It's fire on YouTube. But let's just wait and
see how that ages. That's the question. How does it age? How are
you going to be? Like 60? Right? 50 and 60. And that's the first
thing that you do in these shenanigans should be embarrassed.
What if you see these people on camera?
Right?
Weird. It's in congruence with spirituality is in congruence with
the sun sink, how are we going to teach them?
You're gonna have to skip half the chapters.
How does one get closer to the Quran? Every day you open the
Quran? That's how you get close, even if it's a small amount.
Why don't scholars take a stance on liquidy? Q? LGBTQ? We all do. I
think everyone is. I don't know, some maybe liberal minded Imams
don't or can't, especially if they teach at university and no for no
offense. But
I'm laughing at Ryan's
his putting the timestamps I can see doing it. And he just put LGB
and then click on the bunch of letters after that, which is true.
So the idea here is that
they if you work for a university, you can't ever talk about LGBTQ.
If you're outside, then you can
if the if they work for a university, they can talk about
LGBTQ that also does not mean that they support it. We have to be
clear on that. Just because a person is silent there may be a
limiting factor. That doesn't mean he supports it. So we have to make
that clear to it so that we don't oppress somebody
What's the question? Why were
earlier men earlier your money what you say?
Mm hmm. Yeah.
No, no, that's a different person. Yeah.
And the amendment that is a
it's a city right? And it's named after cities
Why does your beard look trimmed from the sides? Because I trimmed
it from the sides.
It's permitted for us to trim it from the sides.
If your parents tell you to divorce your wife, what does this
obligate you to do the parents cannot tell you to oppress another
person or cannot tell you what to do with your own property? Or
you're on not that woman's oh that's not going to be a good clip
right? For example, they do not have the right to tell you what to
do when your relations quit your job. Right divorce your wife sell
your car. They don't have the right to do that they can advise
you but
they can it's not binding I should say they have the right to say
what they want but it's not binding for you to tell you what
to do in your property in your relationships and your contracts.
So I have a contract so work is how that no I don't like it leave
it I don't think it's good for you leave it off. That's advice if you
don't follow it, you are totally fine. Okay. You're totally fine.
What else to add to that they've threatened to cut you off or
something that cutting off is invalid that cutting off is not
valid there's no there's no Tahitian Milan or anything upon
that is it is it recommended to do all MRA before hedge I would if
you're saving up for hedge I would not wait put the money on ombre
save up for hedge
Alright, we got to wrap up
Ramadan prep from Mmm hmm, we'll cover that inshallah soon. What do
you do if you would do it needs to be renewed at Almara Oh, that is
rough. That is rough. Because yeah, well if it's rainy, you just
make it right there. But if otherwise, you have to go find the
women's bathrooms and you cut off that to off requires will do by
the way.
So you go and you come back and you continue.
Yeah.
Let's hear the question.
Masjid fed
Alhamdulillah. On Wednesday, I'm going to show you all the
pictures. We went to message fats and spent from the heart to acid
in messages and message good fats. It's the area of the conduct where
the hunt duck battle was where the Muslim camps were. And there's one
On big masjid, which they made has nothing to do with the sights,
they just put that there for the accommodate the people. And there
are seven masajid that are just literally MetroNet that is
basically smaller than this room right here. And it's not a used as
a messenger. It's, it's a masjid. But there's no more than a comma.
You anyone could go and pray there. There are seven stone
mosques, little tiny, or monuments basically. And you can go pray
there. And mess it up fat is a small stone thing with covered on
the inside. And on the outside. There's a little mini courtyard,
it's so tiny. You can put the whole thing right here in this
hall. And there
hamdulillah Me and a couple of brothers and sisters to come with
us and some aunties came with us, where we spent entire time from
the all the way to us, to guarantee us that we got that hour
of each other. And some people had written their DAWs on marker on
the stones there. Right, which I don't think was a good idea, but
it was interesting to see. All right, remember so and so, in your
DAW Alright, may Allah give life to someone so May Allah give
someone so Jenna they wrote prayers for themselves and marker
on the stones, but it's all stones. And on Wednesday in short,
which is tomorrow, we're going to put the pictures up, and I'll do a
detailed, you know, show you what mustard effect looks like. And to
me was one of my goals mustard fits on Wednesday, and then
Thursday night later to Juma
to be in the huddle. Alhamdulillah that was the goal. And that should
be the goal of everyone who goes to ombre ombre trips. So this is
where that was revealed. The shooting event was revealed after
but that's where the draw was accepted at that in that that
message and FETs marks would tend to the profit was and it's like a
valley. There's a hill here it goes down. There's a big public
mosque where they they have all the amenities and everything. Then
there's it goes up again. And in between there are seven monuments
just made a very simple stone. Those seven monuments are the
different places where the Prophet prayed Gemma with the army and the
top one all the way at the top is where his tent was he had taken
the high ground to be able to see the enemy and that's where he made
the DUA. Monday and Tuesday and then he got his answer Wednesday
after between the hunter Nasir.
Question is why can a common man make make tuck lead and are clear
that you can make tuck lead in the Furukawa of Aki the button the
belief in Allah and His messenger must be truly from your heart. You
can you can make up lead on that has to be truly in your heart.
Okay.
What about the chef? Yeah, he's asking if they bump into a woman,
they lose their will do skin to skin with a woman they lose their
would do. How do they do ombre? We'd have to ask if the if the
they have to take rocks on that one. Yeah, I think there's a story
of there's a chef
who decided he wanted to do chef. Yeah.
Yeah. And then every single time he would always break it. Then he
was just like he got so fed up because the last time he was like
on the last last round, yeah. Somehow you just bumped into a
woman? Yeah. All right. I'm doing okay. So
to help Oh, yeah, to help a woman from the ground. See, some people
don't know about this, the chef he holds that any skin to skin
touching with the opposite gender breakthrough.
Because they Imam Shafi goes by LMS to Manisa. The other mother
have got a llama somewhat Nyssa which means lamb as soon as that
means you touched for pleasure. If pleasure was sought, or derived.
Good.
And that touching. At that point, no barrier matters. It doesn't
matter if it was skin to skin or cloth to skin guy because touching
for pleasure can be over the close.
So in the medical school, a man or a woman's will do is broken if
they touched or were touched and pleasure was sought or derived.
That means if you told let's say your wife, Oh, give me a backrub.
Right. I got a knot in my back, massage it out for me, please. And
she says yes. Right. And if pleasure was sought or derived by
you, if your intention was that for pleasure, or while it
happened, you derive pleasure you luster would do. So that's the
conditions in the medical method sought or derived, whether
touching or being touched with a hat, a garment in between or
without the thickness of the head count doesn't matter if pleasure
was derived, like big winter suit, if pleasure is derived, right?
Yeah, if pleasure is sought or derived regardless, and there's
touching involved. Okay,
So, the chef a fepto says that any skin to skin touching breaks we
do. So we're talking now about toe off. And for those who have never
went to Mecca before in Mecca, and to a lesser degree in Medina, but
mainly definitely in Mecca, there is so much bumping into women all
the time, unavoidable to the point that there will be a skin to skin
touching happening. So the chef, as I'm sure they end up going with
a different ruling. You may end up in the in a moment of chaos
sometimes where there is an entryway. Right? And then the
cameras caught. You end up maybe praying next to a woman directly.
Right. So they have to you have to observe the right rules.
How can I be more hopeful and actionable? Okay, I've fallen into
spiral of hopelessness, and not able to accomplish anything. All
right? This is a question for Hamid moody Arman.
Your answer is this.
You start
start a regimen of self talk.
self talk, self talk is very important.
It's self talk about what's going to happen.
Right? I'm going to be fine. I'll tell you an example. A guy came up
to me. He said, I'm married to a beautiful woman, but she has a
daughter. I'm so worried about the stepfather status. Daughters tend
to hate their stepfather. Right?
Isn't that the case? Like the step parent has always hated.
And he's like, I'm nervous as a now your remedy is self talk is to
start telling yourself, right?
I'll Allah will make it a good relationship. Keep saying that.
Keep saying Allah will make it a good relationship. You keep saying
that every time you get a bad thought he keeps it. Likewise,
people who get bills and they get nervous and say, Where are we
going to get the money? Where are we going to get the money? You are
creating a monster inside your head, we should say, open up the
bills, they pay it a low supply the money. I fill up my gas, I
don't look and I don't ask. I have to fill up gas, right? It's
something I have to do either way. So why would I look at the price
and bother myself? Right? Go put it in.
Pay. Don't tell me how much it is. Put it in the car. It fills up the
gas and I don't look why I have to do this anyway. What's the value
of now having a to 22nd conversation in my head that's
just going to produce out of my heart anxiety and spill my mood
down that could last for the next 10 minutes or 15 or 20 minutes
right? Because the gas price has gone through the roof. Why go
through this? Don't do that Allah will supply it. Oh, we got a bill
for selling stuff, masha Allah pay them, let them make money. Allah
supplies us with more money. Right? So you have to have self
talk. That's positive. And if you don't believe in this self talk,
refer to Allah. Allah doesn't have what wealth that he created. How
did we get here then? Right? There's been he's been feeding
people for centuries. And animals and birds and fish in the sea.
Everyone's been eating, everyone's fine. Allah will provide it and
you keep saying that to yourself. And then
it's akin to a dog in my opinion, when you talk like that
alright, we have to stop here. Tomorrow, we will go over the
pictures from Mehsud at fat and then we will inshallah to Allah
take your q&a.
Let's take one final question about arc view, you want to sign
up for arc view, take our classes, arc view dot O R G. And as soon as
you sign up, you're going to get a link in your emails for the
WhatsApp group and you can join the WhatsApp group. Ibrahim Khan
is a way for this to a husband. Yes, anything that you benefit
from anything that you receive in your life is at risk. Friendship,
friends are at risk. Be in a good mood is risk a breeze a beautiful
breeze on a hot day is it is someone gives you a date as it is
someone when you get married. That's a humongous risk. Because
what are you going to do for your spouse? And what does your spouse
do for you? That's a massive risk that can never be calculated.
Right? It's a big risk. Can we ask the prophesy seven to make dua for
us under what circumstances so this is asking about Edwardsiella
willfully and in sha Allah one of these days we'll go for we'll put
up the hadith of what's ILA and the DUA as called da alhaja.
There's two Dr. Hajra. One of them is asking ALLAH SubhanA which
Allah through the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa salam, and
we'll talk about that another day, but it sounds we already have an
episode on it. But Insha Allah, we could always go through review and
other Titi Ansari question about istikhara
what does the question say exactly how
Do you know this Takata has answered the matter becomes easy.
The doors start opening up. So if I have Estacada about a job is
Takata means I am committed I've made a decision. But I want Allah
to confirm the decision for me is Takata is not I don't know which
one to do is Takata is no this is the one I'm doing. I've made this
decision. I want Allah to confirm it for me. Okay? And Allah to
Allah will make it easy or make it difficult, make it difficult makes
it impossible, then close you leave it off makes it easy. Keep
going. That's the tacy it is in the DUA
that you make you ask Allah to make it easier, make it difficult.
So if the matter becomes easy, then you know that Allah wants it
for you. Does that come along here and everybody? Subhanak Allahu
