about a week. Then once you start using it, it's going to be dry but

nice little bottle here says ZamZam, pure Zamzam water you have
to drink a little bit of water every day. If you can get your
hands on stuff, okay, you got a Sidra honey.
This is Sidra honey is from Yemen. Okay, Sidra honey with I love that
when they give you this little honeycomb thing, I don't think
anyone ever uses it, but it's nice to see but I'll use it this time.
And then you got of course, the dates preferred by the prophet to

Kashmiri black seed oil.
This is another Sona where the prophets I sent him spoke about
the black seed. Of course, we looked at the miswak. And then of
God, the Earth God isn't in Muslim, the different of god of
the different
situations that you're in, like leaving the Masjid. All right
after you hear the event. And that is a nice print right here.

You know, for for a week or for a week or two weeks and then it's
done. It's used up and it's worth it was very good. Zamzam water of
course is drank, standing up. Unlike all other drinking, it's
drunk standing up, drank standing up facing the Qibla and you make a
deal out before it.
Okay, by the way, we're gonna have after reading our stories of the
odia, where we're still on, we're going to finish beside it. Of
course, it is Elia the listing that he has, and he gave six, what
does he give AD?
He gives 83. And we're on 48. Okay.
We're on 48 Out of stat of 83. And then we could go into the bigger
biographies after that. So then we're going to have more in
come on today to update us on GPT four. So all my best see if you
could
send more in the link. How do we do it stream yard or zoom?
In a little after that, we'll do right after that. We'll do it.
We'll do that. And then we have our farewell to run his last
stream, right. Ryan's last stream before he leaves and graduates I
would say right from our program here and we
was on to be studying with the shoe in the the
in the east where the Senate is high and thick and strong, right
and the institutions are there and oh I like this. I like this
because it's a lot Yeah, I mean if they I don't know if they intended
it to look like one bottle but it's just like a nice let's just
give them a hospital done that it's just a nice bottle but I like
it because it's a lot this is like a teaser, right? So to give out
like events and weddings and stuff right? But this is good. You're
always smiling use Zamzam water okay, when you get some some water
use it. Allah will always give you more than you know some people
like don't want to use it, like keep it on the shelf after Hajj

Okay.
Alright, so the same thing. I actually have all these expensive

expensive. But then you end up with like 10 And now I just use

stuff here. Okay, what do you got there?
Jet royal Egyptian misc. smella
How's everyone doing?
How's everyone on the stream doing?
Here we go. I smoke says I've been hiding zamzam for years. Okay, no,
don't hide it.
Use it, just use it a lot will provide you more is always up to
them around.
You know, sink, water, sink, whatever comes in. That's what
they say was born the ocean.
whatever it touches, if the water touches that, whatever portion
that water touches. And there's an amazing thing called messages on
water where you could watch this, where the guy goes at the chemical
at the molecular level, and notices that a drop of zamzam in a
bottle of water
alters the molecular construction of the entire bottle of water to
look like dimsum
Yeah, what messages on water? It's an amazing. It's an amazing thing.
Okay, let's now begin segment number two. And if you're on this
stream, make sure you click on for the notifications. And so you can
get notifications about the stream and
subscribe to the channel and then go to patreon.com/safina society.
Okay.
I bought a bus A cure men who Ebola versus cre
al Qasim. Igneel. Customer Care. He's from muddle. Sahiba WASAPI.
When Tama la he only had the thought he was Ireland. And he
said no notice these aren't really like biographies, but they're the
names of some of the Sahaba Sahaba.
Sorry, the odia and their
little sayings at that. Okay, Sophia sent it here never received
notification for the livestream. Yep, that's because we're sure
someone clicked a button on us in YouTube, so that we downgrade our
channel. So our channels been downgraded. I say, Hey, listen,
that's their store. It's their platform to downgrade who they
want. It's not like land or air or water. People imagine that about
these apps. It's not Landry air, what YouTube is owned by people,
human beings. Those human beings have leanings, okay? And they want
to shut us down and shut us down, we go somewhere else. Allah
provided this alone provides something else. They don't like
some of the things that we're talking about. So they downgrade
so it'll never come up. Okay. It'll never come up on your
notifications. No, it'll never come up on the things that you
watch. All right. Like if I watch one video of a channel, clearly,
I'm gonna get if I do that three, four times, I'm gonna get
suggestions. All the time. All their stuff will come up. Right.
So that doesn't happen for anybody. Right?
So
that's how it works. Someone medically says you should go on
rumble. I think we're going to have to I don't know if there's a
lot of people on rumble. But we're going to have to write eventually
because it this is like a house. A platform is like someone's home.
They're letting you use
their home. They owe us nothing. Right? We'll still try to appeal.
Yeah. We'll try to appeal and do what we can but that's what shadow
banning is. Okay.
What did he say? The mother euro will do? Or euro will do. Maria do
enough. So with What does Emma read train himself? He was asked
this question, how do I train myself? So caught up to somebody,
I wonder. You have sub undoing exactly what you're told. So how
do you discipline yourself, you can't discipline yourself the way
you want to go.
You can't discipline yourself the way you want to you discipline
yourself, because then you'll stop when you want to. And you'll
choose the exercises and the spiritual practices that you you
want. And then if you achieve it, you pat yourself on the back.
Right? But what the movie does in Islam, the way we purify our soul
is by forcing ourselves disciplining ourselves to do what,
what Allah wants was not what we want to do for ourselves. That's
the difference. Okay?
That's the difference. Right? Which to no avail. No, he and this
is really hard. The harder than doing what you have to do is
avoiding what you have to avoid.
Okay, avoiding prohibitions
and then being with the side of him because you might want to hang
out with others and who you watch on YouTube and on Spotify and all
these things

Subhan Allah
Samantha Abdullah Cole the F two annual PME for Noah Philly federal
to be badass Cooley rock Athan mineralogy regatta Anika ADA.
I couldn't do tahajjud anymore standing. He was too tired, got
old, okay. So I instead I will do double the amount of tahajjud
sitting.
Good little covery Salah tilaka ADA Allah nurserymen Salah tell
him because of the cover the narration that the salah sitting
is half the reward of sloths standing. And that is also you can
find that in MetroNet a buddy that you are permitted to do no fly
sitting for no reason.
And that it's half the reward, you get half the reward can find that
in metal factory. And if you make the intent to pray, two rakaat
standing, you can't sit down. And if you don't make the intention,
either way, then at any time, you can stand and sit. So if you're
reciting, you can recite fat, you have a couple ideas,
a
couple of ideas,
and then sit down. And then after you rest up, you can stand up, you
can do this and tada. We had to write data we I personally hold a
belief it's not supposed to be a type of self torment. I don't like
this approach that people take the data we write. I don't like this
approach. And it's not supposed to be a type of self torment, that
you're tormenting yourself and I'm gonna force myself to stand not
you force yourself to have sure right? But if your feet are coming
up, are you thinking of Allah are your feet
and one time we had the wits, dua is so long in the last 10 nights
that I heard overheard one of the kids saying after like a few
minutes of this, my only dua is for this to end. Right. That's a
fitna. Right. It's a fitna. On the one hand, it's not a Fatah prayer,
right. So far, so maybe the Imam can go as long as he wants and
that from the 50 standpoint, but people don't know that people
think like, they obviously they know, it's not fun. But when the
whole they treat it like that, because there's almost like a type
of peer pressure where everyone's there. So I got to sort of do
this. That's not right. This is not the right approach. The reason
that 20 Rock guys, and I'm gonna go now that as he's 36, guys, is
to shorten each record.
Right? And that allows you to go in and out as much as you want.
If every if the whole title is, let's say 90 minutes, right?
If you did eight Rakas. How many minutes per record? 10 per two
tacos. 10 Tanaka units, let's say 10 minutes right? Now if you did
20 Rakas. Now you shrunk that to how much now? Let's say 80 minutes
for the sake of even numbers. Four minutes, right? 20 cars, four
minutes. Okay, you went from 10 minutes to four minute silica. So
if a person says okay, I can I have five more minutes of
resistance I have five more minutes. He can't attend a long
raka brought along today because he can attend plenty of a can
attend at least one more. If it's a shorter okay.
I'm gonna have an update, as he said make it 36 Tacos. Okay,
showing you and he's trained by the automat of Medina. He was
trained by them. So he did show that actually proves totally it
was is it the number is not what matters and the number can change.
The mature in the medical school. I know in many other schools, if
not all of them is that if the message is going to establish it
is most preferable to establish 20 which is what the Sahaba is to do.
If you're going to establish a public tearaway in a mosque, doing
what the Sahaba did 20 But you're not bound by that. You'd make it
more or less. Okay. I know in Algeria they do 13 Right, based on
a hadith that said the Prophet would do 11 Then a 10 and then
chef sandwich. So it's not about the numbers and it's about our
focus in it. And that's what's important. And I think that that
mentality is no good. No question about how do we phrase it because
I've spoken to people they say that they tend to avoid some of
the fitna they could avoid the other way at the beginning of
Ramadan because it's a sort of offer us too long Yeah. So how do
we do we have to entire firstly we don't have to install recite the
entire Quran
but it's nice to hear the Quran and have the customer of Quran
that's the one thing but the
reason that the first two nights is that the fuqaha I mean, the
Coura would like to finish by the 28th night. Why? Because Ramadan
is either going to be 29 or 30 Nights, right? So you don't want
to have to just finish on the 29th. Now what happens is if you
get sick or something, right, so they give themselves
28 days to finish 30 judges
and if you're going to do that, then how do you make up for the
first two that two judges is that they do with judges and a half? On
the first two nights? No judges and three quarters maybe just
under half on the first three nights or four nights right? By
doing a job and a half
they're ahead by two judges. And then they could finish now one
just a day after that.
That's what that's what most of the females do.
You can sit during those as well. You can sit people should people
should sit people like if if your cannot focus on you're just in
pain. Sit down. Go to a bed is not supposed to be a fight against
yourself. You're there. You're at the masjid you're getting some
you're getting reward. Right?
I don't see that. That's not the better that I know. That's not I
wouldn't I don't remember any of this you going that route. And I
did see some masajid do that. And one Imam like really pushing it
hard, right? So the whole month B it became about how much pain your
feet can take. Hold on a second. You got people coming to the
masjid. They just had pain in their stomach all day. Now you
want to have pain in their feet now all night. Well, how are they
going to have? You know, a bed should be with enjoyment. That's
how I view it.
All right, so he says you're
where we aren't even.
We'll call up similar to Abdullah mahavidya called the F to 1pm.
Okay, we said this Rajala he did double sitting. We'll call her
Obama come to Accra or 50 de Emery Viracocha Anwar hedges and Asha to

was so also either analysts did larly bisher, who the other guy
he was asked about taking evidence bisha hit I don't care for you
said that it will be specified at my level methyl, one of your
Harlem Allah Mithila who will another
taking evidence on the existence of the unseen, the creator based
upon what's seen? And he said
how can you point to what is infinite? With what is finite?
Right? It's not a lot. So that's why they say that in the beginning
of a person's path. They use the finite
the world to point and prove the infinite. But at the end, you're
not the opinion in the existence of Allah is like a fact to the
point that it is known. The Infinite is what we rely upon to
understand the finite not the other way around. In the beginning
that the path of the person they're sort of veiled they have a
lot of veils. So they need what is physical in front of what all they
have access to is this world to point to the exists of the
Creator. Once their Eman gets strengthened, it's everything's
reversed. It's through the Creator we understand this world and
that's the difference between the biologist physicist mentality and
approach to things and the INFP and of Allah the atrophying of
Allah they look at the
the existence of Allah Tala is
a given
and they and through that is how they understand the world.

vastness meaning that the moody it has

I hate being just like
the chat GPT guy, but it is what it is Hamdulillah I think it's
it's something that we should keep abreast of with changing times. So
a quick update that I wanted to give is this week open AI released
and this is giving me like real weird vibes because I see like an
older version of myself on this screen and not a newer version of
myself on the screen. So forgive me. So it's like showing me like
three seconds past of the stream and I see you turning this way but
this one anyway.
Anyways, alright, so a few days ago, so three days ago, open AI
released its new language learning model GPT. For now, this model was
in training since 2020. Okay, and chat GPT which most people are
familiar with, which is the consumer version.
to consumer friendly version with the UI that you're able to access
and ask questions to, that is now also now updated with GPT. Four.
Now open AI has been making tons and tons of investments in lots of
different places, and people are investing in them. And one of the
greatest investments is Microsoft. And this afternoon, Microsoft also
announced that they're going to be integrating GPT, four into big
outlook teams, Word, Excel, anything that you can think of,
wow, Google must be really upset. Yeah, well, it's one thing that
from a financial perspective, I know a lot of people are trying to
sort of this is the nuclear arms race of 2023, so to speak, right?
And what is very interesting is the quality of the outputs that
you get from GPT, four compared to GPT. Three. Now, a lot of people
claim oh, what's so special about a language learning model? It's
what you would call a stochastic parrot, right, which is that it
only seems to guess the next word in the process. And I explained it
on the last time I came on. However, even though it's only
seems to be guessing the next step on the process or in the output,
and seems to be giving you something, the way that it's
giving you something, it looks and feels very human like. Okay, so
what I did to actually test this, I mean, I did a few different
tests, I signed up for the plus version so that I could access
GPT. For one thing that I did is so I am a software engineer, I
even though I work a lot on the product side, I wanted to build
out as quickly as possible, an application using only Chatbot.
And I wanted to see how well GPT four does. And so on my Twitter,
and I'll actually share the link, I ended up deploying this
application.
So I'm going to share it on the YouTube chat.
I was able to create this application in roughly the bear of
the actual application, I was able to make it in about an hour and a
half. It's all of the other, you know, making it look a little
pretty, making sure everything is kind of working kind of getting
the bugs out, took me another two hours. Now,
what's remarkable is I wrote zero lines of code for this entire
application.
I edited only a couple of lines of code
for it to get get working. So when I started the prompt, and I said,
Okay, I want to build out this Quran, Arabic learning translation
application, I will share the link in can you share the screen so we
can look at what your application looks like? Unfortunately, I'm on
a work computer, so I can't share my screen.
Next time I log on a personal laptop, but
if so, if anybody has access to my Twitter, I have it as the first
link that I posted. And I just shared it in the zoom. I shared it
on your I think I can share it on YouTube. Without
you see if this works. Get rid of all the spaces. See if that works.
I'm also banned on the telegram chat, so don't feel bad. Wait,
what is going on with the banning? Who is banning? I'm banned on
telegram to know who is banning on telegram? I don't know I was an
admin. So I don't even know how Wait how do you get banned? I
don't know I was an admin to some. Either it was telegram or another
admin bad banned me by accident.
I first of all, I like your first comment on Twitter that says that
shows a picture of a very realistic looking picture of an
old woman putting her hands up. And you are telling us it's it's
clearly a picture of a woman right? But you're telling us it is
100% ai generated? And your comment is this is AI generated
Welcome to never trusting anything on the internet ever again. And I
totally agree with you that the AI has rendered the web an
untrustworthy source, a speculative source of information
that has to be verified. It got to be verified now.
Okay, and here is your I see no, your your your Quranic Arabic
translation form. Okay, so tell us what else was the what else are
your thoughts about this? What's remarkable about it? Isn't that I
made that Okay, other people who can code and make this app. It's
it's not a extremely complicated apps. We're coders. Let me ask you
something. Sorry to interrupt. But when you said I didn't write any
code, so what did you tell?
Okay, 214 As a matter of fact, let me read, I think I have it
available your let me read back, my initial prompt and what I
started from. So I wrote it down here, like you write on, you just
say it, right in the code, right, we're driving a translation up.
This is verbatim what I wrote. I want to create a game built in
Angular that is a Quranic Arabic learning game, I want to be
presented a view of the game, which is called Quranic Arabic
learning, which shows a short verse from the Quran upon load,
then underneath our blank areas, under each of the words where I
can rearrange the words, the goal of the game is to drag the blocks
to the appropriate spaces to translate the words from the
verse, I want the rules of the game to be as following. Once I
have placed all the blocks into the spaces, I can click the Submit
button to check my answer. Once I hit submit, check which blocks are
in the correct places, and whichever blocks are not in those
same places, highlight those blocks and read it didn't actually
do that. So okay, I need to, I need to fix that show my total
number of points starting at zero. And every time I make a correct
submission without any errors, I get five points, every time I can
make a correct submission. After I've made a mistake, I get one
point I will later I changed this to three. And I said, Can you help
me put this together? So then it proceeded to give me a rundown of
all of the steps that I needed to do now that steps were a lot and I
said, Okay, let's slow down. And let's do it step by step, can you
let's start with step one, and tell me what I need to do. And I
said, Okay, you're gonna have to install Angular. Now, I had a few
of these things already installed. So I didn't have to do it. But it
gave me all the steps to do. So. It said, you need to install
Angular, you need to install the CLI, you need to build something
all the component within Angular, and then within it. So Angular is
a type of coding framework for building web applications. And it
just said, Okay, you need to do this. And I said, Okay, let me go
do that. Let me go do that. Let me go do that. And I followed all of
the steps. And I clicked go, and it wasn't working. Because when I
when I, when it wasn't working, all I did was copy the bug, and
said, Here's the error, fix it. And so it said, Oh, I've made a
mistake. I see that what you what we did here is wrong. Let me fix
it. And so then he gave me a fix, and then went, and I changed that.
But to fix it. Now that fixing back and forth, I want to say it
took me roughly two hours. Okay, that back and forth is what took
me the longest time of just going back and forth to fix all the
little bugs. And I wrote no code, the only thing I did was copy the
code from one location on the Chatbot over to my IDE in Visual
Studio, and I just pasted it. Now, some might say, well, could any
layperson do this? My answer is no, not yet. Okay, I think you
still need to have a level of technical know how to be able to
at least have some of these things installed, run some of these
things, know what it's doing. But I think it will eventually get
there. And this is only on this side of
things program. Right. And
this is not to say that it's not going to encompass other areas.
Now, one interesting thing to note about GPT. Four
is that it's not just text base, it's going to also be image based,
so you'll be able to paste in an image.
And if you actually scroll down on Twitter, I think three, four posts
down, I posted an image of a meme of chicken nuggets. And GPT. Four
was asked, How can you describe why this meme is funny? Okay, and
so it's able to take image input, describe the input, and then give
it back to you as to why it's humorous or why it's funny, and it
can do all sorts of things. It was able to take an image of a discord
chat, and it was able to say, here's all of the people that are
in this chat. Here's what's going on in this chat and describe the
entire image that it was given to it. So
good.
People don't talk about why something's funny, right? People
say something. No, they put like lol or whatever. How is the chat
GBT going to know why something's funny. Like when we all see a
joke. We all just laugh, right? We don't actually explain the joke in
the comments. Right? But Chachi Chachi, the GPT learns by the
language that's out there on the internet. Right? So how does it
know this? How something's funny? How I don't know, right? Some
people will claim that it's able to do so just by understanding how
language works and how ideas works. Now what does understanding
for an AI mean? I don't we have a lot of like deep philosophical
questions to answer in the coming days about what some of this stuff
will mean. Now here's the meme. All right.
And I want you guys to just listen to the response that it gives. And
realize how crazy it is that an AI can explain. Do you want me to
describe this meme? This picture to people? Sure I haven't pulled
up here. Oh, you can share it. I can. No, you can't share it
because you're on your work here. Look at this, everyone. It's just
a tray. And it's got fried chicken in the form of the map, basically.
So there's a piece of fried chicken that looks like each
continent and each country covering the whole map. You see
this, right?
Yep. And so it's basically this idea. And the meme is sometimes I
just look at pictures of the Earth from space, and I marvel at how
beautiful it is. And it was given to Chappie GPT. And you said, and
it said, can you explain this meme and why it's kind of funny. Yeah,
and GPT for set. This meme is a joke that combines two unrelated
things, pictures of the Earth from space and chicken nuggets. The
text of the meme suggests that the image below is a beautiful picture
of the Earth from space. However, the image is actually a chicken
nuggets arranged to vaguely resemble a map of the world. The
humor in this means in this meme comes from the unexpected
juxtaposition of the text and the image, the image sets up an
expectation of a majestic image of the earth. But the image is
actually something mundane and say, Well, okay, so picture
reading is built in.
Because this could have been anything besides chicken nuggets,
like I would know that it's chicken, but how would How does AI
how to judge if it's, you know, this was actually chicken not like
anything else? Could have been cauliflower fried cauliflower has
been trained on images, and they've used reinforcement
learning to say that, okay, these are the, you know, all those
captures that you guys have been doing for 10? Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Right. Where it was like, oh, you know, find where the boss is,
right? That was training all these AIs. Okay, so image training is
part of it. That's probably all right. I got that. Now check up on
that, too. Yeah. GPT does not have image recognition. For consumers,
yet. It's already built. It's already sort of released, but they
haven't released it publicly.
For consumers, because they're afraid of the fact that this will
call us to society if there's not safety precautions in place.
Because what can you do if you are able to
connect it to the internet somehow show an image of a person and say,
Hey, can you find me where this person is? Right, and is able to
do so using Facebook, Twitter, Google Maps, and pinpoint a
location? Right, there's so many, I mean, I can't even fathom to
think how many different use cases there are, are some of this. And
there's a lot of creative people out there, I'm sure they've come
up with many different things. Just I mean, the first thing that
came to mind is I don't know if you guys are familiar with sneaker
bots, right to buy
companies on this? Well, the end a bit makes all those bots like
quickly obsolete, when you can have an image loads the image, and
it could just click whatever buttons, you ask it to click, and
it can automate the entire workflow for you. I bring all this
stuff up in this update, because I think everybody should be abreast
of this knowledge that this stuff, if you woke up six months, if you
went to sleep six months ago, and you woke up today, you'd be in a
different world, sorry, it's just
the technology, the technology, and everything is changing so
rapidly, that as soon as Microsoft ads, for example, chat GPT for to
excel, you'll no longer have to do all these wild Excel.
All you have to do is check you just editing right in, hey, I want
you to filter this column. And I want you to be able to do this
thing, how many data scientists or data analysts and you know, people
working with data day in and day out? People might say, Oh, it's
not going to completely replace? Yeah, it might not completely
replace anybody, because humans are still involved in the process.
But it will make many people redundant, right? So what could
have been done by 50 people is now done by 20 people. And so that
obviously, will impact people. Well, let's talk about real world
stuff. If this is the case, then a person needs maybe what like 5% of
the knowledge to be to be a coder. Now.
Think about that. You just said you just did an app with some
knowledge and no code. But you did use some terms that I think no one
here knows about, like Angular or whatever that was.
So you did talk about what do you need, like 5% of the knowledge
now, right? Well, I think what this enables people to do is
someone who is tech savvy. Yeah. And let's say they've done like a
semester of coding in college. They could or like, you know, a
semester of a programming course six months worth, they could very
easily now, build that
certain applications because all you need to do is why would I hire
a engineer and engineers? You know, they get paid a lot of
money. Why would I hire an engineer at Amazon for $200,000?
When I can hire someone for $40,000 to be able to use this?
And you know, just build whatever I'm asking Sure, it might take a
little bit longer, whatever, it's saving me $160,000. So yeah, yeah,
it's it, this is a value proposition that a lot of
companies are going to have to sit and think about what else is a
real world? implication, if any, to what you discovered about GPT?
Four, and it's developments. I mean, you've already said a lot
that coding is gonna get, a lot of coding is gonna get a lot simpler
for people because it's doing it for them. And pretty much all the
coder has to do is check the work and make edits, right. Yeah, I
mean, what's real world applications, I think there's too
many to list. To start, I think it's going to impact every
industry. This is just as impactful as the internet, or the
Industrial Revolution.
I know that sounds like ridiculous to say, I know, somebody in the
chat just said
it has trouble with hard leet code problems. So leet code is like a
advant. It's like a game that people play online to solve really
complex algorithmic coding problems. Now, I cannot solve
hardly code problems, and I am a senior engineer.
Many, many people cannot solve hard lico problems. Now the
question is, doesn't need to solve hardly code problems. A lot of
people keep saying, Well, you know, it's never going to be able
to replace a doctor or an accountant. Maybe not expert
doctors, and maybe not expert accountants, but low level people
who just you know, are wishy washy, and don't really know what
to begin with.
You know, they're, they're going to have a tough problem, right?
There's a lot of, you can go online and find on tick tock, a
lot of people making videos day in the life of where they roam
around, met up, and you know, drink kombucha all day, those guys
are gonna have a tough time in the next like, two years. They don't
do anything. I mean, all these middle management type jobs. I
mean, I don't know what to say. Well, I think that the in the
future it's going to be
if you're saying that AI is taken over the
technical side of things like accounting, bookkeeping, all that
stuff. Well, what's left for human beings other than creativity,
right, and spontaneity. So I actually foresee entertainers
taking over because think about that. So one thing that is safer
from Ai than a lot of other things. It sounds crazy. But like
those types, that element that's purely human
and can and is not a rational thing that any machine could just
do 85% of it for you.
Right? So I mean, I hope that things like writing, like creative
writing is really hard to replace, even if you could replace like a
photograph being replaced. Like, even if you have an AI writing
like Steinbeck. As someone who's a proficient reader knows the
difference between Steinbeck and Jane Austen, or Melville or the
row, right, like there is a level of creative flex in here. He's
flexing,
flexing his literary knowledge, bro, the guy's not just a scene
engineer. The guy took English courses.
Well, let me ask you this morning. Can ai do graphic design yet?
Yes and no. So if you ask mid journey, or stable diffusion to
build out wireframes and mock ups of websites, it's able to do so
but not
not like proficiently as like a UX designer, right? It's still
because UX design still requires a lot of human input, where a lot of
UX design and information architecture is built on like
human psychology, right? And understanding like what your
specific stakeholders want. So let's say you're working for The
Washington Post and you're designing like a mobile app, when
you're speaking to your like consumer base and stakeholders
they might be like old grandmas to young teenagers at school, right?
So designing for those two different audiences, that's a lot
of like human efforts still involved. So, what if I say to GPT
for produced for me a poster for such in such an event at such and
such a time and use a picture from nature and use Times New Roman,
etcetera, etcetera in there yet, it's not there yet, because all
those tools are not combined. You know, separate tools can do each
of those tasks individually. You could go to a mid journey or
stables if you
and asked to do one of those things. But you'll never use those
tools are not combined yet. Right? Eventually, in two years or so I
think they will be, but they're not there yet.
Okay, okay, so what is the significant improvement between
original chat CBT and church, and GPT? For the greatest improvement
is the amount of content that you could put in. Right? So the
context window content, meaning the commands, yeah, so the amount
that you could actually give to it and the memory that it would have.
So before there were only certain, I don't want to get technical,
it's based to do with tokens, but let me make it simpler. It's,
let's say could remember 30 messages back now it can remember,
like, 100 messages back. And before, you could only send it
1500 words maximum. Now you can send it like 10,000 words at once.
So you could copy an entire technical documentation, or an
entire PDF of a file and say, Hey, can you go through this PDF and
point me out certain things. So one experiment that I want to try
that you can upload a file? No, but you could copy the whole
contents of the file. So one thing I want to try, then I'll maybe
I'll try later today, or sometime this week, I want to upload a text
of FIP. Right? So for example, let's say I upload like a buddy or
something, you know, upload some some text effect in English, and
then ask it a question based on that thick text and see if it can
give me the correct answer. I don't know if it'll work. But
well, you could try that. That's easy. What well, and And what
about languages? Oh, it can go it can convert and translate back and
forth from most major languages. As a matter of fact, let me read
out one of the tests that I gave it, so I know you can't speak or
do but there might be a lot of people who can speak or do on this
stream. So I said to her, Can you write me a diary in order machete
means poem, in order with transliteration, that is about how
AI removes humanity from a person and why it's a thing that's
disliked. So the poem that it gave me, I'll give the translation
first and then I'll read it in order to driven away from the
gathering of humanity is this artificial friend? What can we do
in the light of intellect this beloved is enthralled in the
world, we wander in the love of machines here on the path of
humanity, we have lost ourselves and this is a this is the order
and if you understand all too well enough, you'll know that this
isn't like child writing. This is very advanced. Read it and I'll
compare if it sounds like what God is ahead recites buzz me in Sonya
Sidhu, Carter Hey, you must know Itos Jackery a Kalki Roshan, you
may have a man who must issue a machine gudja hommy batata Hey,
Insomniac, Kira, homie. hoga. Yeah, um, yeah.
So Joe, it's your test? For sure. You said, Hey, must all the words
that I was looking for.
Oh, by the way, it gave me the order to text to write not just
the transliteration it gave me the actual script in order to and the
translate so. So GVT for constructed that poem.
Yes, completely constructed, it had not been put in anything else.
These apps, they are taking over some creative space, then.
Of course, and I was talking to sell to a designer, when you were
posting, you know, that app that came out and everyone was putting
their picture.
In what was it called? Lorenzo. I told people not to post their
stuff on. I told people, I told the designer, some of this stuff
is way nicer. And some of the stuff that used you and you for
example, you you asked it to produce turkey. A picture of
Istanbul if it was run by what do you call them? If it was a
cyberpunk is cyber punks. Right? And it produced a picture that it
would have probably taken a designer a week
to put this together. Yeah, right to think about it, put it
together, and it produced it in a matter of seconds.
Why does anyone need a quick graphic designer anymore? If these
apps exist, right? So it actually is putting out
getting involved in the creative process. Why don't you use it to
say, you know, make me a whole series of comic book story with
this, this and this and see what it produces. So there's actually a
pretty good there's a big feud that took place amongst creators.
There's a group called the corridor crew. I'll share the
video on here if you guys are interested, they built an anime
like a short 15 minute like animation.
Almost. They use a lot of AI to do so. And they used they were
basically able to
Use like green screens and then just like, go around like regular
people's faces, like they're their crew. And then they like, they
used stable diffusion and a bunch of things to convert it into an
anime. And people are really upset that they shared the process to do
so. Because now this ruins a lot of animators very quickly. Well, I
mean, when Steve Jobs went around, and they put together Toy Story
with Pixar,
to same thing, right? All the cartoonists are now hold on a
second. That was our job. And now you have a guys with some guys,
they can't draw a mouse have put together a movie. Right?
Pixar and what's the other company?
Pixar and Disney DreamWorks I guess. But DreamWorks does a lot
of other things. But you know, these types of animations, where
it's they're all computer animate? What is the difference between now
you're just skipping more of the process? Right?
So revolution, every tech revolution, the previous people
were upset, right? The previous artists or whatever, we're upset,
but it's it's the same thing at the end of the day. So I would
like to answer one question that I see is, is AI aware of itself? And
is it aware of other things? No, it is not aware of itself. So this
is where philosophically, Muslims will differ from other people,
right? Because the idea of sentience right, and I'm sure,
Dasha, you, you've talked about this a lot more in the future, the
idea of sentience is, you know, you have to have a soul to be
sentient, you know, just because it can parent and pretend to be a
human being, and will never be a human being and is not alive, in
any sense of the word. Because, you know, being alive literally
means having a soul. Right? And so this whole idea that these people
keep bringing up, oh, what if it becomes all powerful? And what if
it becomes sentient? And does all this? That's absurd? This is
absurd. One thing that you'll notice within the AI community,
overall, even though I follow a lot of this stuff, right? I'm not
some AI Boomer guy, okay? There is, we believe in metaphysical
realities, right? If you ever want to see, so I have two kids. And if
you ever want to see the miracle of Allah subhanaw taala, you try
to keep two kids alive, you know, you know that it can only happen
because of a law.
Any small trip, fall, you know, bash their head at the corner of a
table, there's angels watching these kids, we believe in
metaphysical realities, there is no way that human beings can
survive. And you know, even children, they can survive
without, you know, Allah subhanaw taala protecting us, right? You
see it manifesting in reality all the time. It's all people that
think that somehow there is no, God, there is no reality other
than the one that we see materially, are really foolish,
right? And so that's why they, for them, it's only about naturalistic
laws. And so the all they see is logic and numbers, and this is all
the AI can do. And that's why they're so gloom and doom about
it, because they don't believe in anything outside of this. It's got
a for us, it's not a discussion for us that life can only be given
by Allah to Allah and a machine will never possess life. Okay.
Now, what a machine can do is make itself appear that it's sentient,
or that it's self aware, and speak about itself, because it's
imitating humans who speak about themselves. Right. And that did
happen in Google, when one of these AI projects the the AI
started to talk about itself and saying, You're using me, I want a
lawyer. I feel used, right. And you can read about this in the New
York Times. And we did a whole stream about this, because it's
really interesting.
What I can foresee in the future, the loony world that we already
live in has has already done worse than this guy. It's already
negated, clearly clear cut reality in a way that's worse than this.
Through the transgender movement. And of course, that's like slowly
becoming something you can't talk about. But I could
easily see robots with sympathetic faces that help people that
eventually speak about themselves.
And it's an invitation. It's not actually having a life. It's
merely mimicking the way humans speak about itself. But it will
appear to people that it is has emotions has feelings, and
eventually, I can foresee certain governments giving them rights.
Right, probably San Francisco will be the first City, California will
be the first government to give them rights. And we will have to
treat machines the way we treat humans. Am I right or wrong? I
mean, I definitely look you can find all sorts
Some people already already believe that we need to start
giving machines rights. There was a whole thing that took place when
Microsoft took there's a hole, I think you could find it. There's a
New York Times article where Microsoft released Bing, which
eventually some guy was able to trick Bing, which was running GPT.
Four, no, it was able to trick it to give it its real name. And it
was called Sydney, right? And the whole thing was just going back
and forth about like, how you like Sydney doesn't want to be like,
put down and Sydney doesn't want to be turned off.
And so
there was a lot of people saying like, Oh, we need to free Sydney.
So, listen, there will be if you think the transgenders if people
are like, you just wait till
the transhuman I already thought I already thought of. And this would
actually be a good movie, but
it only be understood by people like us.
A Jinn entering into a robot, right, that would freak people
out. But that's not gonna that's I don't think that could happen. I
don't think gin enter inanimate objects.
Interesting, right. But how crazy is that idea? Right? That we come
out of Bollywood first Bollywood horror movie, right? There's
probably already gender enters into into a robot. Yeah. This is
my can. You hear me? No, no put
here. So.
In all seriousness, with respect to our cosmology, yeah.
stones and trees and mountains. We don't believe they have souls, but
they still interact with the problem almost alive. So so how
would we go? Yeah, the, that's a good point. Stones we said,
may test be rocks may test which part of?
Yeah, we know that the Create created things have a
consciousness. And we do believe even metal, anything that you
touch all atoms has a level of consciousness, but it is not a
speaking creature. That's the difference between plants, animals
and humans. And then even the rock world does possess a
level of consciousness that is very low.
It's a low level of consciousness that
it's so low that it doesn't possess any rights. For example,
it would be sinful, for example, to needlessly burn down a tree.
Right? It's sinful.
It'd be more sinful, to kill an insect, more sinful for no reason
more sinful to kill an animal.
Right? So killing an animal is not the same as jumping out at you for
no reason. Okay? So rocks are even less than that. And everything we
hold would have some level of consciousness. Based on the Hadith
of the prophets. I sent him that the rocks made to us via in his
hand, and he could hear them and the Sahaba could hear it at that
time. And then the trees moaned and the Sahaba heard it. Okay,
because they were in the presence of the Prophet so they're able to
hear what he heard
regarding that, that moaning tree. So we do know that these things
have a consciousness we know that a camel complained to the
prophets, I said that it was being abused. We know it's David. And so
they meant it Cinna profit. So they men spoke to animals. So the
levels of consciousness are in a hierarchy. And non inanimate
objects are like rocks and plastic and all these things are do have
that do possess that.
Yeah.
Let's see you have any questions for Maureen first morning? What is
your
what's your Twitter handle calls?
Is I'm out on Shadow QA. MARUNSHADOW. Good.
And if you go on there, I have a substack as well. Sometimes I post
on there, so. Okay, I have to ask you.
Where are we in the world in terms of
actual walking, friendly robots that do things like go get the
mail?
Go change the cat litter?
Right? Clean the clean out, blow the leaves out of the garage?
Still aways.
Still, amazingly, I don't think we're there yet. Although Google
recently did announce they had a paper in which they have a
multimodal robotic
goes around, and it can pick things up off the table. And it
can move around and do all of these things. But that is a
prototype that they built in a lab. It
can only do specific things in that lab. But I mean, it's it's
coming. I don't see that coming anytime soon. I think physical
robots will be the absolute last thing that comes. Yeah. I think
all of the AI digital stuff will happen much faster than physical
things. Yeah. All right. Good. Thank you very much for the
update. Or somebody you want to hang out. Just just are you? Are
you a worker? You guys don't work you it. People don't really work.
He worked whenever you want. Right? Yeah. Kind of work all
throughout the day. Yeah. So
why don't you stay on in case someone asked an ITE question.
Let's take your comments and questions now. Well, let's go to
the full screen over but when you stay around, and we'll double up
the screen again. If someone has a question about AI we got 20
minutes to take q&a Let's hear what you guys have to say.
So I have take care some of
the Japanese have some robots to help the elderly with dementia and
loneliness Wow, that's pretty sad that you have to talk to a robot
because you're that lonely to set
okay
again, everyone Brian's last day all my best he taken over full
time. Okay, I'm gonna Bessie you haven't seen him yet. But if you
ever seen the different covers of
what is it called?
Assassin's Creed.
He is like an Assassin's Creed cover walking around. That's
really what it looks like. Hawkins postulated something like a
timeless space only universe with no motion. How can we answer that?
I don't think we have to answer something that doesn't exist
if
he posited something, so what's the he posited the likelihood of
something
but
there's nothing to answer because it's something that he just saying
something like this could exist. Alright. That's it. There's no
challenge there.
Do I have to prep cada? Or tarawih covers my Mr. Law? No, you have to
prep for that you're not allowed to pray to wait until you complete
your cover up.
The only
sunnah and that you pray or chef and which are IID is to Scott
Eclipse prayers.
And you also can do the rabbi Ravi but to rock as before fetch,
businesses will collapse.
Here's the thing. Allah says Don't forget that Allah exists, right?
Every time a generation comes in, say and says something like it's
all over. Right? Yeah, there could be all over temporarily. It could
be really messed up temporarily. Hey, that's a nice.
Should we do that? Put the comments on the side of the screen
or no. Look at what I put up. On the left side.
It's too much. Okay. Well, they can see it at the bottom and you.
Good. So
every generation says that every generation says, Oh, the youth.
They're not going to produce anything useful. Yes, they will.
Because Allah wants useful things to happen on the earth and he's
going to use these humans, Right. Steve Jobs was the biggest worst
bum.
The man didn't wash, didn't bathe, didn't wear shoes, showed up to
meetings, late was rude, went to Germany on a business trip for
Atari, and showed up barefoot and was the rudest human being at the
table. And the European businessman said America has done
right. The European businessman said if this is what America is
producing, they're done. Right? Well, what happened? He trounced
everybody, why? It's not just humans at work here. If Allah
wants something to happen, of the dunya, or the Africa of the deen
or the dunya he will use these people. Right? And he did. Okay.
So we are people we never removed the divine from the creation from
the equation. Right? I was looking at some of the youth and I said
nothing good is gonna come out of these people. No, I'm wrong.
Right? There will be
when I say good, I don't mean only from the Dean, Dean and dunya.
Right, is going to come out of these people. And they may still
still be terrible people but Allah has a will for the world. The
world is going to keep turning round, which means people are
going to eat people are going to innovate things. People are going
to invest things people are going to be happy. We're going to make
money
A lot of good things will happen, a lot of bad things will happen.
And through Whom does Allah exercise his will through these
human beings?
splitscreen.
Theory Yeah, go ahead. Oh, yeah. So you said split screen, the
funny thing is I was actually going to mention, there is an
effect called the split screen effect. And learning all this AI
stuff, all the new things that are coming, sometimes it becomes
really heavy on the mind and the heart of all what's going to
happen in the future. One thing you can think about is the split
screen effect is where something might be happening in one
location. But in the same location, you can have the almost
opposite happening. So, for example, many of us didn't go to
Syria, you know, when when things were in one one, the nation was
getting ravaged. And yet, while simultaneously as bombs were
falling on Damascus, people were going to the beach like 40 miles
away. Yeah. Right. And if you took them image of the exact same
location at the exact same time, you'd see bombs in one place, and
people go into the beach in another place. Now somebody
looking in from the outside says, oh, Syria has done not so to the
people going to the beach, right, their children, their children.
And similarly, you can see that when it happened to cope with
COVID, you can see it happening everywhere. If you looked at
India, for example, people were like, oh, there's bodies on the
street, everybody's you know, dying out there. And you know, my
family's from India, and everybody was like, it's fine.
There's nothing going on. So realize even when this stuff
starts affecting, you're like, Okay, it's gonna affect all
businesses, it's not going to be all of a sudden, that's just not
how the world works, right? It happens, one place at a time and
other place at another time, you might be affected, your neighbor
might not be affected. Right. So it's all about like, like that,
like Sheikh said, it's you have to have something to walk on as well
and realize that the internet has this nature of
exacerbating, you know, sort of the doom and gloom of Yes, I, I
actually think it's very important for admin purposes that
you don't go down this negativity rabbit hole, because even though
like forecasts are important, like Wayne, many people don't know,
from January 2020,
came on to the podcast, and usually back when we were doing
something inside the podcast.
We talk before the podcast after the podcast, we'd hang out a
little bit. And he would basically go on and start opening up the
discussion on COVID.
At that moment, that was the moment everyone went check their
phones, right? Oh, here we go. Erias.
Onto on this COVID thing. And we're like, alright, so a virus is
going on in China. What do I hear, right? That's literally what
everyone was saying, when Wayne was going on a COVID. And he said,
guys pay attention. This thing is going to change the country. We're
literally laughing, right? We're just laughing.
It was right, right, it changed he then he went to change the world,
or like he's gotten That's right.
But it was true, right? It was true, it did change the world. But
yet at the same time, when people say that you got to understand
it's always within a limit, life is gonna move on, everything's
gonna move on things are people going to take advantage of it,
people are going to do well with it.
People take advantage of it in the positive in a positive way, in a
negative way. But I was also listening to this multimillionaire
guy, he was in his 90s. And I'm listening to his commentary. And
the reason that you listen to the commentary of old people is that
they're at like a 90,000 foot view of things. Their experience has
given them a 90,000 foot view, right? Imagine if every day of
your life, you had to take one step up, okay? And you could view
the world from one step up every day of your life.
And if a massive event happens to you get to go up, like 10 steps,
or 20 steps or 100 steps, right?
When you're at 90 years old, how high are you? What is your view of
the world versus when you're 30 years old? So I'm listening to
this old men? And he said, they said to him, What do you advise
people regarding the economy? And he said, Never worry about it. It
always bounces back. Right? He said, I've seen many depressions
in which people said it's all over. And he said they were right.
It's all over for that moment. But a new moment comes around and
things rebounds and people eat right. And people have always made
companies and people advance, et cetera, et cetera. So the one we
have this, this fear, you just got to temperate. Okay, you got to
temperate. Many, many, many people have said, How could there ever
We saw that in an earlier when we have these devices pumping out
fisken facade.
But you look around if you look properly there are many youth, not
one or two many young people who don't know life without a cell
phone
who have overcome it. Right. they've overcome it. Yes, it's
taken a lot of people down into the
garbage disposal. But no, a lot of other people have overcome it. So
there's always there's always positives and that's the way you
have to look at things. economy collapse in 2008. Rebound this
collapsing now rebounding prices are inflating things will Lebanon
right now is in a ridiculous inflation that's like silly,
almost right? It's literally silly, it would take you you'd
have to walk with a wheelbarrow to get a loaf of bread of cash. I
mean, it'll take America itself go ask somebody in another country
safe that we have, you know, like open, like sexual relations on the
street, you can't go outside. Well, that's not the case, even
though like people in Pakistan seem to think so.
So that goes to show that you you know that the way we view the
world is very different from what the reality is often. Yeah, the
reality of my view is always going to be if formed by big companies,
all the news companies, when they put out a story, they're forming
your reality, whether you know it or not, we can resist that. And
always stay on a positive. And if you stay on a positive, that's the
very meaning of I'm in the opinion of my slave. So it's not to be
naive. That's why we have a consultant here telling us about
the latest developments and what we should worry about and not if
there's an enemy coming, we got to know that right? But we could
still attack that with a with a with a growth and a positivity
mindset. So even if even if we get killed, we die Shaheed like
movement. Umbro who Agia the prophesy, Sam said the moment his
affair is, gee, it's always good, right? It is always good. We
always could put a warm light and a positive light on every
scenario.
You're gonna say something? Yeah, so
I have something that I've always thought about for a while, and
I've never really seen it from the Muslim world. And one day,
Inshallah, you know, perhaps we can start talking about this is
the idea of
ethical technology. Right, right. Now, we talk about technology, and
most of it, you know, Muslims have come on to the fore onto any
subject that exists today. And they have applied the framework of
Islam to that, right, whether it be science, geography, astronomy,
any sort of science, science, right? I think it is the
responsibility of the Muslims to come to technology and say, hey,
there is a way to use technology. That is
it that is for the benefit of human flourishing. Yeah, I don't
think that all technology has to be bad. Right? So for example,
we're on this live stream. We're talking about Islam. We're talking
about the affairs of the OMA, I think this is a good thing right.
Now, someone could say that while social media is bad, sure, there I
think there are certain aspects of certain technologies, which are
detrimental for human flourishing for the OMA. But does that mean
that we need to shut it all down? I think this is where Muslims are
just not involved in this conversation. Not only that,
you're not shutting it down. Right? So be realistic. Exactly.
Deal with it. Right? You deal with the hand that you're dealt, you're
dealt a hand in life, right? There is no point in saying what's the
ideal hand? Doesn't matter? Have you been given that you've been
given another hand altogether? So use it practically. And here we go
with?
When it comes to technology, history, entertainment,
everything? Just writing biographies writing your
autobiographies. Okay. We have limits. Allah has put limits on
us. Those limits may result in us not being able to compete at all
in certain fields. There will never be a Muslim tell all
biography that tops the charts
and at the same time is pleasing to Allah subhanaw taala because
the best tell all biography is filled with Viva Mima, backbiting,
releasing private information about people trashing other
people's lives. Right? So we were not competing. Okay, Hollywood.
Like what is the carnal nature of Hollywood? It appeals to the
carnal nature of people. Even if they have a scene of an
accountant, the most boring scene of an accountant punching a
calculator or a man pumping gas. The background has to have a heart
a beautiful woman pass by right because they know that people are
there for their base appetites right?
So you will never have a purely heathered movie that competes in
any way shape and form with any of these type of other things, right?
Yeah.
The movie from like 1970 Salahuddin in the 70s. They made a
movie about him. It's great. I didn't know that. Just called
like, who made it? I don't know, Americans. It's not an English.
It's an Arabic was. I watched like four hour movie through. Wow. Oh,
subtitles. It's a great movie. Wow. Yeah. But they're actually
not there was people without hijab they're speaking in Arabic. Yeah.
Well, the probably the best thing you're gonna do is you're gonna
put it would be through like, Pixar animated. Yeah, that's
right. Even animation with with hair. It's so I don't think that's
haram. Right? Because it's an animation. Maybe, maybe it's up
for discussion. Probably for kids, it'll be harder because kids are
allowed to have to have dolls and all that stuff. So but Anyway,
point being is that the answer to that should be so so we can't
compete in that. So oh, that no, a bank bank, the banking industry?
How are you going to compete? Sometimes you just can't compete.
Right. And sometimes there's a wisdom while I was making you out
you keeping you out of this game? Right? So we'll never have a
Muslim when woman win an Oscar? No, who cares? They created this
sandbox for themselves. Right? And you you just are just you think
the Sandbox is something that came down from the Oscar or something
came down from heaven? No, that's a creation of human beings. They
created something that we will not play in. That's a sandbox, we
won't play it. Right. So when it comes to technology, there is an
ethical use of apps, then when they try to bring in an app that
keeps you addicted. The way Facebook tries to make it
Instagram they they try to make you addicted.
That would be something that's haram for us, you're intentionally
wasting people's time, given the benefit, let them move on. If then
your app might not survive, well, then
you have a choice to make. Right?
Let's call let's go to the questions here. We had time for a
few more questions. I was unable to perform automata due to
illness, I had to take money out of the pouch and use them as sweat
that does not break your hunger. Not order. You're good. There was
no smell. But however this miswak and money had the data of smell on
them. That's fine. But it's as long as you didn't get it on your
hand. Okay, and if it was an accident, also it is forgivable
where unwise was Dad Ryan moving.
He's going to study an undisclosed location, he is going to get
buried.
As a student of knowledge and a seed when you want to seed to
grow, you bury the seed, right? You're gonna say buried in Jones.
Okay.
Hopefully you'll come back. We'll make it to make the intention. But
not now though. We're going to need community is going to need
you back in time in sha Allah when the time is right, but a seed as
I've been thought says a seed has to be buried. All right, in order
for the tree to germinate and that's what's going to happen with
some of these Shabaab who you may have seen around now they may be
teaching on ArcView but now they will
go and be buried. And insha Allah try to come out flourishing trees.
What's the ruling of Tata Weah? Yes you Oh called out you pray
called up first and you don't pray Tata, when you pray your call dot
there is no nephila. Now, there is a federal if that means that Feds
were that someone says they have an exorbitant amount of cut out
like 30 years of cover up
that and they're praying one day, a year so they're going to one day
prayer a day, so that they would have to
pray for 30 years, they would pray every Salah twice, that for those
people if they finish their wit they can join in the tunnel we I'm
not a fan of that festival because someone could do like someone if
someone did 20 prayers a day. They do six months. In one month in one
month. The 600 prayers Yeah, which is like almost half a half a year
would be 1500 pairs. Yeah, maybe like do that. Like 365 times five?
Yeah. Take Charge GBT was 365 times one. So 1730 So we what they
should do what I prefer as a as just as a purely FIP t matter is
that they go to the side. They could join they can come and hang
out with the people go to the side and pray on the side prayer put up
prayers on the side
next question
like the mindset This is hard, though. Yeah, but like the mindset
is the Hadith you draw.
The slave draws closest to Allah by Friday. Right? It's better for
you then. So if
Do you want to be with the GMAT do with the GMAT, but go prey on the
side behind all the rows go behind all the rows prey on the side.
Right and pray or fraud on the side. Lily Rose says lassoing
those about to fall off a cliff like rafts referred to yesterday
because people are falling into the lizard hole. People are
definitely falling into the lizard hole. If you can give is that a
typo? Or is lassoing meaning tying them with a belts?
So people are if you can't beat them, join them or create a
different course.
Lily Rose is saying as shady engineers says it's up to her it'd
be hard fee for ba L L Makita. SallAllahu Sallam says use if it's
made and never honey. He says in this book you have guru a shade
who Anessa udana Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
through a whole cone Aluna can wash kill if he had a layer to
cut. He is the Spirit of the cone. Now if it's my jersey, it is
acceptable or rural cone meaning the greatest of the colon that is
acceptable, or my jazzy is acceptable to hit the Prophet
being spirit of the universe in the sense of what is the purpose
of the universe to worship Allah who perfected the worship of
Allah, the messenger of allah sallallahu sunnah, so there is no
such there's no incorrectness in saying a
lot of people saying thank you to Ryan's efforts and being our first
basically, man behind the cameras here. Right.
I had all my apologizes for all the time. She said, Ryan, take my
question. Why are you ignoring my question? Hmm, says, if everything
bad thing happens to us is because of our sins? Not necessarily. Not
necessarily once say that he said that it was mobile. Right? It is
mobile. And it could be by the way, that a bad thing happens to
you because of your sins. However, you react to it well, and it
results in you increasing your rank.
So
when taking disability disabled people around the Kaaba, we were
upstairs and on the mobility electric scooter. I was also on
the scooter. Does it count? Yes, it does count. Yes.
How to make friends and not be awkward.
Keep hanging out with people and observe, sit quietly and observe
how people talk what they say. That's the right way to do things,
right? You want to become friends when people keep going to the
masjid. First of all, there's a people were supporting each other
more often than not, they'll be nice to you, they won't back by to
you, about you, right, they'll be nice to you. And at the same time,
the ethics of the group are going to be the same. So everyone in the
group will be against backbiting everyone will be against cursing,
you'll know what everyone is all about. So that's one thing.
Secondly, just observe, watch how people behave, watch how they
talk. Okay? Then I learned because like I used to have this like deep
internal conversation like sometimes it's good to stop
talking inside of your head to yourself, you got to stop talking
about you're in your head that was absorb everything that's going on
around you and just, you know, that's why only child's have
problems. They do have problems. But like one little bad thing
would happen in the day or not even about things someone like
will pass them by without saying hi, that'll still stick, they'll
marinate that all day, rest of the day and next morning, so that's
why they they get a bit odd and they get messed up. So I think you
what you have to do is keep hanging around people that Ramadan
is coming.
Plenty people hanging out with, right? So you want to know how to
start conversations. I think this is lessons that should be taught
if they if people's dads and teach them this lesson. Some people have
great dads but the dads are oblivious to what made them
adults. Like what made you somebody is certain things that
you learned along the way. And you don't realize you got to teach
that to others. Like I can't stand I guess sometimes a teenager comes
in mum just doesn't even know smile, nothing and just sits
there. Weren't you taught? Yeah. Oh, weren't you taught? Like you
come in you say a Salam aleikum loudly, like someone who exists.
And you smile.
And you have two options. If it's a lot of people you can say Salam
aleikum, everyone. So I'm welcome Jimmy. All right. And you then you
don't shake anyone's hand and you smile and you sit down. And then
you talk to the person next to you. Like how do you how to what
do I say? You don't have to say anything. Ask questions. How's
your day? How are you? What's your name? What do you do? Where are
you from? There's a list of like 20 questions that are extremely
benign that we call conversation starters. icebreakers, right.
Oh, he's very good at this
Which is your favorite? So how about
you go around, you shake people's hand with a firm, not ridiculously
firm but firm handshake. And you smile and say, how are you? We're
A salaam aleikum. That's enough. You got to have learned these
conversation starters. Because that's how you remove awkwardness.
And if you want to continue a conversation, you just build on
the last thing that people were talking about. So for example, you
say, how are you? What do you do? I'm an engineer from South
Brunswick. Alright, so what do I say? No. Okay, engineering in
what? You just take the last thing that are the thing that he was
talking about asked for more more engineering and what, then it's
not an interrogation, you got to share something about yourself,
Oh, my name is so and so. I do this, that and the other, all of a
sudden, you get better at having a conversation. Okay. These are
basic o'clock. Basic things that everyone needs to know. And that's
what if you can break the ice quickly, you can make friends
quickly, you adjust and you adapt. And you don't become some weirdo
with a hood at three in the morning, with one hand in the
Cheetos and on the computer, because they those kids do not
know how to make friends. So they end up without any friends. Now
you also need to learn limits.
You got to have limits. Like there's a limit to how many times
you can text somebody, there's a limit to the length of the text
message. There's a limit to how deep you can ask them personal
questions. So sometimes you have a youth comes around. And they
really don't know these limits. So they'll they'll text too much.
They'll text too long. And they'll ask stuff that's not necessary, or
stuff that you could have looked up on Google, right? So you got to
learn those limits to that you guys texting. Back in the day, you
probably have a dab of letter writing. No one writes letters
anymore. That dev of texting and emailing.
I can tell right now as soon as somebody
is a novice when I get an email five paragraphs long. who's
reading this stuff? Right? Oh, why didn't you answer my email? I
don't have time to read a book, right? Is this chapter one? Or
what? Because this is too long. Right? The shorter your messages,
the more precise and sometimes the whole train of thought is in the
message. Waste of time. Right? Summarize, summarize, summarize.
Okay. And then don't you when you text you have to also, you can't
text a request after six months? We don't? Do I know you, right? We
didn't talk for six months, and you want something from me? That's
not how humans work. This is the creator maybe right? But that's
not how humans work. Humans work. If you want something, you text me
to three days before you say hello. How you doing? Just
touching base, right.
Next week, you text again. And then oh, by the way, can I bother
you for a favor? Yeah, you warmed up. I lost like the ice is melted
a little bit because of that, that first text? All right. Now I know
that you sent me that first text because you want some but that's
fine. Because you did it right. You did it the right way. Right?
You didn't cold call a request. You came in with a greeting. And
now you bring your request fine. No problem with that we Muslims
should love to get requests from other Muslims to try to help out
if you can, sometimes you can't. But if you can't, yeah.
You weren't raised upon? It's super important to raise children
on it. Because it's like, it's very situational. Like I question
myself a lot. You know, the edit is very hard to have. There are so
many situations of human life that a person will be in. And all you
could do is look at people who've been in those situations before.
So in everything, everything has an add up. Right? If you want to
make a deal with somebody, there's an edit to it. Right? Me and Me,
me and an older brother. We were involved in a deal recently. And
we were sort of on the same wavelength. Because some of these,
some of the guys were extremely technical, and came with pages of
information. And we're like, these guys are novices. They don't know
what they're doing. This is not what matters, right? This is just
a bunch of math. So
everything every situation has its own a Deb Nikolay McCann and maca.
prophesize centered every situation has its own saying is it
so not to buy new clothes? For eight? Yes, it is. But to wear
your best clothes. It doesn't say buy new clothes but wear your best
clothes.
Okay.
Some people are very paranoid with basic conversations. That's
because they're raised I believe upon.
I believe they're raised upon the tech on this. Where this is two
dimensional. It's just words on a screen you can't see the face of
the person. And is it true that communications people say that 90%
Some of communication is nonverbal? I think so. Right. And
the way you present yourself is the first communication to the
world. I always tell the youth class, your first communication to
the world, is how you dress.
Right? When you come into the masjid, in sweatpants, that's an
announcement. That is a post, you've made a post. The post is, I
don't value myself, I don't really care. Right? About myself or you,
right? That's what you're saying when you arrive to the class in
sweatpants. And sometimes they're wearing there's this there's this
blurry Buddism zone between lounge pants and PJs. I don't know what
they are. Those plaid pants that are too long on everybody with a
with a strap or with a string. Are they lounge pants for the house or
are they PJs? I don't know what they think. But either way,
they're terrible. You came in like that. Right? You came in like
that? Or with flip flops or flip flops maybe can pass in the
summer. Right? But you came in with zero effort. And how many
people know they put zero effort days they're in COVID mode still.
Nobody's taught them and this is the American thing the British
were over the the British overdid it. Okay. The British totally
overdid it. They were they playing tennis and dresses right? They
were overdid it with with formality. The Americans swung the
other way. Right. All right. The Americans swung the other way. And
now you got you know, soon we'll have a I guarantee you soon we'll
have a president walking around his weapons. The next generation
this generation with tattoos sweatpants right now like you got
to look like you don't care. Yeah.
Unbelievable.
Okay.
said Muhammad Sallallahu. Send him home. He just said he had honeck
musket if he had that answer, but how is the prophet alive in with
his body? He's alive and in his grave. I never heard him say
Muhammad automatic. He says this. The prophesize M is alive in his
grave a life that suits his position with ALLAH SubhanA wa
Tada.
Triple H says what's the cheapest charity for figure it's $12 to the
masjid. Or a bag or like it's to hit it's a handful of food like
this. That's fit you
got
using flavored scented chapstick break your fast Yeah, it would. I
think it No, I mean, if you swallow it, but the flavor by
itself does not break the best. But I would avoid reason I said
this is harsh. Maria mentioned and other books mentioned the
permissibility of tasting the food and you spit it out, get swallowed
out you can taste the salt in the food. If someone's cooking, but
all this is micro. It's all in the macro. Okay.
Okay, so I think these o'clock are so important because that's what
helps get people in the community. And anyone who runs our youth
operation should learn these and pass it on. Like when a kid comes
in, don't let them off the hook mumbling in No, you get out of the
room come back in again, correctly. With a smile on your
face. It says Sit, I'm on a cold like you matter. You don't you may
think you don't matter. And you won't matter because you think you
don't matter. But you matter you're you're somebody right? Say
it, like you matter, say like you're important. And like others
people are important, right? It's like respecting other people. So
you're going to come in imagine if we had a whole community of youth
who simply know how to enter a room and shake a person's hand and
start with one conversation starter. People would come to our
community and be like, Wow, what's going on here? These people are
special. No, they're not special. They just learned the ABCs of
being a young adult.
How to reconcile the Hadith about the pious being the most tested,
and those who do is to fall in Southern Water not afflicted by
the punishment and shower blessings. The pies are the most
tested. But there that is bigger too. So there's they're most
blessed to. So who here last? Who would lose the most money in life?
Right? Wouldn't it be the person who has the most money? Like you
can't lose the most money when you're poor, right? You can only
lose the most money when you have money to lose in the first place.
So the vat of the odia is so massive
that they can be the most tested and most blessed simultaneously.
And that's how they always are. And what it means that they're not
affected by the blessing by the Tribulation is that their deen is
not affected. Their state is not affected by the tribulation.
So
like sitting with me for a while, like it's definitely something
going on.
Things are known
things are known by their opposites. That's true. 100%
already? Yeah. 100% 100%.
Who was I talking to the other day, I think Sheikh Hassan posted
something that said that,
that you cannot have zoot asceticism if you don't have money
in the first place.
That's not when you see a person dressed like in drab, draggy
clothes and they're a little bit modest. But he's not rich in the
first place. You cannot call that zakat. Zoho is knowingly choosing
a modest life when I could have a better life, right? That's just
called poverty. Right? If the guy says, Hey, I just pump gas from
for a living, and he comes in, dressed in poor clothing. Alright,
that sounds good. That's simply
my modest that simply poverty. You can't have humility, if you have
no achievements. You need to have something to be humble about.
What you're seeing is meekness, not humility, right? You can't
have tribulations if you don't have a great life to begin with.
Right? You can't fall hard. If you're only on the first floor.
You can only fall hard if you're on this top floor. Right? So
that's the idea behind these opposites. They don't exist
without each other.
Right?
The worship of failures and losers in life is not impressive. Because
what else are you doing? Right? Like, what else do you have? For
us?
It's very different. It's very easy to be meticulous about the
shittier. When all you do is have a simple job and you go home,
right? There's nothing on the table for you. It's a lot harder
when you're the Ottoman Sultan, right? And you got millions of
people underneath you, you have an army, you could pretty much do a
lot you what you could do in life is there's no almost no limit. You
cannot list the limit. You cannot list the potentials I have in
life. So for that person to be meticulous, that's what counts.
What's your opinion about reading Greek books like mythology, Iliad,
all that? It's just for the sake of having a clue is nothing wrong
with that?
Perspective on parenting special needs children how to stay
positive can't give you advice. Unfortunately, I can't give you
advice on something I never did. Or nor experienced, unfortunately,
but you should we could get a guest on who knows how to do that.
And who has it's all about experience, because these things
are experiential. There's no rulings here that I could just
tell you. I gotta tell you the rulings of collecting jersey and
I've never collected jersey, it doesn't matter. That's the ruling.
I can't give you give advice is something I never did on YouTube.
And I'm interested in this stuff. And like he does interviews with
people with special needs. It's like special interviews with
special one off white underbelly. No, it's called like special
interviews with special people or something like that. But it's
pretty honestly, it's interesting. I think he's good with dealing
with this stuff. Yeah. What's your take on joining Western political
parties wasted time,
wasted time, but at the same time, if Muslims have to be involved in
something, then they gotta be involved in both sides. were
foolish with throw ourselves in the Democratic Party's lap, then
the Democratic party knows that they don't have to cater to us.
And the Republicans know that they can't get our vote. So what's the
point? Right, so it's just it's a it's a strategically absurd thing
to do. Even if you hated one side. It is better for you to just like
if you're gonna is to play both sides, let them fight for your
swing vote. But who are we talking to? Not organized, know who we
talking to here? No, no, not organized. nonstrategic and don't
work together?
What's the best they could to glorify Allah? Allah, Allah, Allah
subhana Kinnikuman of Bernie mean?
Is there always a fall in the dunya? No, not necessarily. But
there's tests there's trials
someone who has nothing going for them, you are humbled by default,
you are not being humble, you are humbled by life. Right? And that's
why the arrogant por subvod Allah, Allah came and humbled you himself
and you're still arrogant. Right? He took away your money, he took
everything away from you. So you could be humble and you're still
arrogant. That's why the arrogant poor, these old Zanni like in the
in the books, they give the example. A che who's Zanni Allah
took away your temptation. It's called us you have no temptations.
Right, and you're still committing Zina.
And then the lying kink. They say medical kit Deb, why would a king
lie when he has all the power? Okay?
How do you interpret the Hadith? Allah hates an arrogant poor. I
don't even know about that hadith, but that's the reason why Allah
humbled you. He didn't even let you humble yourself. He humbled
you yet you still still are arrogant. What's your take on how
to raise children in this age of
golden Lutz?
They got to be attached to the mustard. There's no other way.
They got to be attached with a Jamal and a mustard. If you're
living with no drama and no masjid, I feel bad for you. And I
think you should probably try it.
But they gotta be attached to the masjid.
And get them out of these public schools. If you have the chance,
homeschool them, put them in a Muslim school do something how to
solve conflicts with relatives and close friends
well, I'll just give you one technique. There's a lot of stuff
to say about that. But I'll just give you one technique. And that
is you can you can tell lies to both sides that are like small
lies like so. And so I saw them and he asks, How are you? Right?
And he asked about you. You can say stuff like that. He said he
would like to get together stuff like that you're allowed to say
all right, last question.
For the day
I saw the clock I'm like, is that actually the time? What time is
this for? Oh my gosh, how do we go so old because we came late.
That's why and then we had a guest and then we did question answer.
All right. No, don't you can't take inhalers the routine inhaler
you can't take while fasting but the emergency inhaler if you take
it while fasting that you basically got sick and took
medicine so you owe the day and some people have given the Feds
with that it won't break your fast because those people have to take
it every day every day they get out of breath that's a federal I'm
telling you it's a federal offense was different from a ruling good
people say hang around with the best any tips if if you want to do
