Shadee Elmasry – NBF 220 Surat al Munafiqoon Pt. 3
AI: Summary ©
The speakers discuss the physical and mental well-being of the concept of materiality and the importance of faith in science. They emphasize the need for verification of predictions and the desire for a new "monster" to overcome fear and create a new reality. They stress the importance of hard work, attention to one's behavior, and des politization in addressing issues with the War on the Middle East. They also emphasize the need for quick action to avoid drinking alcohol and socializing, and emphasize the importance of being true to one's beliefs and not trying to be perfect. They stress the need for a strong message to avoid embarrassment, avoiding debate with non-M-thinkers, and emphasizing the importance of avoiding harm in online hurtling.

Smilla Rahmanir Rahim Al hamdu lillah wa Salatu was Salam ala
Rasulillah who other early he was happy woman voila. Welcome
everybody to these not Safina side in nothing but facts live stream.
We today are back after a summer vacation and we should be back to
our normal routine, which is Monday through Thursday one to 3pm
We had a number of things came up.
Okay, number of things came up including Aiden
time off and all that stuff and you know how it is in the
summertime things are always a bit slow. But here we are in the
summertime and we are in a piping hot day to be honest with you.
What what do you think it is out there or like
88 degrees 87 or 86? Maybe whatever it is, but it is a hot
day in the great state of New Jersey.
And we are on sudut and whenever Kuhn.
Okay, what's this 87 degrees out today? Okay.
Here we go.
Let's get to suit it's gonna go in and start reading and then we're
going to take a longer QA than usual. Okay, it's to make up for
our last time not really last time can't say that. But here we go.
out of alignment to shit on the regime. Kalia you already know how
to exempt him and nakoma Alia Hola, him and dunya Nursey Fatima
no remote. We talked about this last week, but we'll complete it.
And we'll repeat it because we do our believers in repetition just
opening up our YouTube channel here.
It means that the bene of surah
Allah subhanaw taala challenges them with their,
their their beliefs. So if you believe you are the chosen people,
you are the Beloved's of God. Okay, that's very good for you. So
if that was the case, though, okay.
Then you should be excited about death, because death is not
anything other than a transition. Yes, the moment of death is a
tough transition. We agree with that. But death itself is a
transition from one space.
One existence to a better existence. If you're a believer
to be a better existence, when I had some unknown no evident, maybe
I'll cut them at ADM Allah even bother me. But in that mode, a
levy to further ruin him in who and whom? And why are you running
away from death if you are truly a believer, and you truly actually
believe I'm actually going to paradise. And of course, there is
a middle space between our abode here and going to Paradise,
there's a middle space, which is also a beautiful space, though,
too. It's a place in which the soul only exists and the soul is a
very subtle matter.
It's a very subtle thing. And it exists in somehow with in a
location Allah knows best, we just call it the bizarre the place
between two places. Because as physical beings right now, with
this thick matter that we have, that were encased in, we can, we
can understand that we simply cannot understand how and where
just the soul by itself exists. But it does exist. It is a
physical, it is just some, okay, it's something physical, but it's
extremely subtle. And it's not just when I say physical means it
is something that takes up space, even though a very small amount of
space. And it is not like an imagination. Your soul is not an
imagination. That is just, if I tell you right now that there's
a lion, that's pink with green polka dots that's flying around.
Where does that exist? Nowhere doesn't exist at all, just in my
imagination, which is nothing.
Does imagination doesn't exist, it's just in your head. Alright,
it's not a physical thing that exists. When we say physical
things that exists are a material thing, or something that takes up
space.
Keep in mind, we're not referring to just what we can see. And
that's why materialists that's not exactly the right name for them.
And Allah doesn't call them materialist in the Quran. Allah
subhana wa Tada speaks about those who believe in the unseen
so the soul is does take up some space and Angel is have a material
made up of something, right?
All the things that we talked about such as baraka and Nora, and
Lana, and all these things, they do exist in a some format, some
form of physicality. But it's so subtle, our eyes can't perceive
it.
Sounds travels and is in a form. Yeah.
The Wi Fi that's flying through the air right now the electricity
that's flying through the air, everything that's or what are the,
the waves, the radio waves, all these things flying through the
air, we can't see them. It doesn't mean they don't exist in a
physical form. They have some physicality to them. So
materialists is technically not the right word. It's
Reductionists. That's what the better word is, they've reduced
what we believe in to just what our eyes can see, and our
microscopes can see. So these people didn't believe in things,
then a microscope is invented, and now they accept it. Okay, so now
in the realm of science, it's in a sense, acceptable to go that
route, because in the realm of science, I can only sell you
something If I can prove it. Physics is in some way, shape and
form, right? So that's fine. But science cannot be the sole sieve
of understanding existence. It cannot be the the sieve meaning
What's another word for a sieve? Like a filter, it's not the only
cannot be the only filter. Right? Transmission is another filter,
capital Sadhak a true transmission. And that's what all
religions are their true transmissions about things that
human beings,
at least up till now have not been able to see. And in, never will
human beings be able to see the future.
And the future, and the transmission is coming in telling
us about the future. Okay, so I shouldn't say never humans will
never be able to see the future, you just never know what's going
to happen. But there is always going to be an element of the
future, we'll never see the afterlife, you're not going to see
the afterlife with any tools here. So while you're while we're here
on Earth, so point being is that
the kaffir is somebody we should not just think about it as
materialistic. Because we do believe that if Allah creates
something, he gives it a just, and it just is.
One more. Two or more virus Avara is a theoretical thing. We've
never seen it. But it's a theoretical thing in Islamic
cosmology that is the main main ingredient of creation, the
smallest possible.
What would you call it? Atom? It's not an atom, obviously. It's the
smallest possible unit.
The Johanna, right. The Joe What did I say? Joe? Huh? Yeah, it's
like a particle that Joe has. That is one. JSON is one or more Java.
Right?
Two or more? Two or more? Yeah. Joe, what is the smallest unit of
the creation? It's theoretical. No one's ever seen one. Okay. And
what is it theoretical? It's dimensionless. This is the unique
thing about it, because if you give it dimensions, then you can
split it. If you say it has a front and back, right, you can
split it.
I did my whole paper on Ashanti atomism way back like 25 years ago
and said Jose Nasi, he was very proud of the topic. He gave me an
A plus.
But it was basically the Hindu philosophers. By the way, they,
the Hindu philosophers, they have a lot of India itself. We always
make fun of their religion has a lot of nutty things in it. That's
true, but they're philosophers.
You don't cannot mess around. That's why the methodologies were
so important. Okay. Because they said, they don't believe in such a
thing. They believe you can divide infinitely. Okay. Well, we said
our Alama the Metro DD said, No, okay. There's nothing infinite but
Allah. Okay, we can't can continually, infinitely split
atoms go infinitely.
So there has to be a smallest unit. So they said describe it.
The Metro DTS thought about it. Of course, I'm sure they're writing
this stuff across decades, right? But
they realized, if you describe it, and it is describable by having a
right side and a left side, a top and a bottom, a front and a back,
then you could split it right. So it's not the smallest particle. So
they ended up
saying that it is a dimensionless particle.
So the theoretical
the nature of the Jo ha it is a dimensionless particle. Okay, can
something even like that exist Allah I don't know.
Obviously, something like that, we do believe that they're correct in
saying there has to be a limit, right? Nothing is infinite. Right
like regressively. But Allah you can always say that we can
constantly add JOA to one another. So you have a Jojoba. And then you
have two or more Joah has become
a just so the soul of the human being is not an imagination.
It's just
everything that exists.
God that when Allah Tala wills for it to exist, it becomes a gist of
some sort, we may see some and we don't see others, microwaves that
are cooking our food, our edge SEM.
Okay, the waves that we see the radio waves that we're attracting
radio waves, aren't they flying around everywhere, right? It's
just when you put your antenna out, that's when you can hear what
the transmission is saying, right?
If you could see everything, you literally would not be able to see
your hand right here.
If everything had a form, everything that had a form was
visible to your eyes, you wouldn't be able to see your hands. Okay,
even the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said if you if if the
jinn and the shayateen were visible to you, you would not see
the sun.
Right, you won't be able to see the sun, you just see a black mass
above you.
Okay, so this is the nature and the difference between us. And the
atheist. It is not that they believe only in the material is
that they have reduced what they believe to what their tools can
see. We do not we believe in what has been transmitted to us. That
is not visible to us. And that's a difference. Even scientists,
though they're heavily reliant upon knuckle like for example,
they're reliant reliant upon other scientists doing these
experiments. True. You're not all you know, all scientists aren't
doing every single experiment to see what's that's a great point.
So if how do they determine then, which scientists to experiment to
build a lead inside of they're doing? Yeah, they're doing they're
accepting. So every sign not every sign every biologist, every
scientist studying the books has not seen the kidney, right? Every
experiment, haven't done every experience, you haven't seen every
single thing, or let's say an organ in the body or haven't seen
everything. But you do. Take it as fake as fact, because you trust
them. Right? And they build upon it. Here's the important part.
They build upon it. They'll build whole careers on it, right? And
they'll invent medicines and things like that. But you haven't
seen everything. But you do trust that others have seen it. Okay.
Well, what's the difference between that? And now messenger
ship and prophet hood? The Prophet has seen good prophet peace be
bottom has seen now here's, here's the difference that they're going
to say they're going to say, well, when our scientist does something,
it's peer reviewed, there are five other scientists, right? But you
are relying on one prophet versus we say, actually, we're not as
Muslims.
Our messenger is the last of many, many, many prophets who have said
the same thing. But let's say hypothetically, just for the sake
of argument, you're in the time of Prophet Abraham, where there
haven't been
many, many prophets before. Okay. So this is where the miracles of
prophets become necessary for us to accept them.
As is a hard narration, okay? To accept it without them needing to
be supported by other humans, okay. And they cannot be supported
by other humans, right? If they're supported, verified by other
humans, then they must be similar at the same level as those humans.
But because a profit is at a greater level than a regular
fallible human being, he can only be supported, verified by the
Creator.
Profit cannot be verified by others. Otherwise, he'd be their
equal, right? And they be his equal. That's why prophets are not
verified by humans. Prophets are verified as prophets as telling
the truth by the Creator. Okay?
Jesus was not verified by another person.
Say now he's a bit muddy and as a messenger, is verified by His
miracles by the creator and that's the difference between the
verification of a prophet and the verification of like, any other
person who sees something or transmits it.
Okay, if I'm going to make a transmission to people, I need to
go in and get other
people to see what I'm seeing. All right, you all see this, okay?
You're the you're the witnesses. Now we go to our group of friends,
and I tell them and I got five guys supporting me. Okay, so
that's the idea here. Alright. So the problem with these, we're
talking about these is that they've reduced everything to only
what their eyes are there to
holes can see, and not with a cover. But if somebody truly
believed that after this life, there will be a pinch of
difficulty and apprehension at * and the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa salam himself, his brow sweat, and he said in New Zealand
mo de la saccharides verily death has scary moments. Okay.
saccharides what's the best way to translate Sakura? Could you look
that up for me?
What is the best way to transfer? Now? It's like this. If someone
was to tell you, that your
let me let's take it a couple of different ways. You're going to go
out into space. Right? You're going out into space. And you're
gonna go and change being a complete change of gravity and a
complete change of air pressure. And everything else. Okay,
learning Adam says pangs of death. I think that's a good translation
probably. Okay? Wouldn't you be apprehensive at least, like you're
going to go and exist now in an atmosphere that you've never
existed in on earth? At the very least the idea of the unknown.
Okay, is a source of apprehension, a source of nervousness, if I was
going to reach into your body and say, I'm going to pull out a
tooth, or I'm going to pull out your uvula, which is this little
thing that dangles in your throat? And I promise you, you won't hear
anything. Okay? I promise you, you won't feel anything sorry.
Okay.
And the person reached the doctor reaches his end into your mouth,
aren't you going to be nervous?
Imagine now someone's telling you an angel is going to come reach
into your soul and take your soul out.
So every moment of death has an apprehension that has pangs it's
not something we enjoy. It's not something that human being is ever
going to enjoy. This is why satan Issa and say Neha here say now isa
said about himself said Now Allah said about him was salam ala Yama
will lead to a Yamaha moto Yamaha to higher peace be upon him the
day I was born. The day I die in the dam resurrected the three
transitions.
Say Neha Allah was he had higher and modesty, he wouldn't say it
about himself. Allah said it about it. Say No, you said was Jellal.
In this relationship, he was manifest, he said it about himself
to tell his people I'm a prophet.
So
the these are the three moments of transition soul to body, soul out
of body, soul back into body. Three different transitions and
the recreation of the CO login create the human being however he
wants, right?
He creates Adam directly.
How we know that there was water from heaven and mud from Earth, we
don't know anything else. But there was no interest antecedent,
no other parentage no other mammals. See, another problem with
evolution is that they have this imagination that human beings can
only be made a certain way. Like human beings are made. However
Allah wants to make them. Adam was created one way Eve was created
another way Jesus was created another way, all of us are created
another way. There's four different ways of creation right
there. Three restricted to one single individual. Actually, we
should add a fifth way, which was the way Satana Yehia was
conceived. So now he is close to a miraculous conception. Miraculous
simply meaning caught up in the ladder, not normal. See, even in
Islam, we don't have a concept of miracles. We have we don't have
the word miracle in Islam. We have the word God it's
not normal, not the normal way that Allah creates two different
things. Okay, so the way Allah creates the human beings that we
know that is that the normal way is a healthy male a healthy female
who can have children
they are created first come together. Okay. And then a child
is born out of that right
the norm that's it so I used to have been mme was was creating a
different concepts. Yep.
You're seeing from from Anaheim, Mashallah. How's your statement
here so far?
Good.
accommodated to
very good.
But some California weather with you too.
So, Sedna, say to Hawa was created, we know the material but
we don't know the manner. Nobody knows what happened. Okay, and
Allah says in the Quran, you weren't there to see it. So don't
talk soon until KEF. Okay, Mirage Hatoum? culpa sama what you will
not welcome him, which means unforeseen meaning the beginning,
Adam and
If because now we can see how babies are made in the womb we
don't see installment but we do we have that knowledge, but a lot of
confusion meaning your origination you did not see what happened when
there was water from heaven, mud from the earth. And Allah subhanaw
taala then the next scene almost that to say, is the description of
Adam as a clay statue. He was a statue, there's nothing wrong he
was saying that. Okay.
physical form with no soul, right? So you could knock on him like
this. Okay? Sitting with no soul in it.
We didn't see what happened in between. Allah knows best. Okay.
Well, we will we are certain what didn't happen in between was that
two mammals came together and produced him and that he was given
birth. No, we know that that didn't happen. How what likewise,
we know what she was made of, which is what the rib of Adam
next scene she's laying down next at
Spa the first physical such setting between
two people is that they were created as a man and a wife, a
husband and a wife and they were laying down together. Adam was
asleep, she was awake.
Just to tell you that is the origination of the human being
human beings will procreate from that setting the bed that has a
husband and a wife in it.
And then
all of human beings were created thereafter, in the ad, the norm
that norm meaning the, the what Allah has habituated us to, which
is that husband and wife are created. Their cohabitation is a
creation
and then a baby comes out of the womb. Okay after pregnancy. That's
the ad. Then there are two co article that's left in human
history
which is Yahia an ASA say now his NAC say near here. What is he born
out of? And also sadness, right? Sorry, it is Huck was born from
this. But it's not so different. It's simply that he is born from a
barren and menopausal woman. Both of them, say in his heart,
and Sedna.
Yeah.
The top of the chain and the bottom of the chain. They noticed
this. The top of the chain was born from this, this different
birth. A woman who was barren her whole life.
Then she hits menopause. Now it's game over. So what is the
difference a barren woman menstruating but doesn't give
birth?
A that's called Hakim in Arabic.
It's called that that that the word Hakim is barren. She meant
straits, which doesn't give birth.
And then after that, she is what's the Arabic word for that?
I don't know the Arabic word for it. But she's menopausal meaning
right, postmenopausal
meaning she doesn't menstruate, and she does definitely doesn't
give birth now, right. So that is how Satan that is how was born
from a woman of that nature. down the chain. The last prophet from
the bene of Surah Eid say Nia here there's sin there hence a nicer
but say now ISA is different in that he's not from the fathers but
from the male line keeps going down. Sin as a career
say near here produces senior he got the last the first profit to
be born. Top of the chain. Ibrahim is hop bottom of the chain.
An equal the same exact creation as a Korea to hear. Father and
mother the mother is off team her whole life. And now she is
after menopause. No. I think I got my female biology wrong. Could you
look up the terms menopause postmenopausal? I don't. It's
menopause, right not postmenopausal menopause. Forgive
me for getting that stuff. That's not something that comes in daily
conversation for me.
Okay, but but look at how the poetic it's almost like artistry.
The top of the chain of prophethood and the bottom of the
chain has the same miracle. Just like is Smead
was going to be slaughtered by his father Ibrahim Abdullah father the
Prophet slowly said it was going to be slaughtered
dissymmetry and the beauty of this both lines is made and is hoc
begin in the same way in and in the same way. Okay.
So, yeah, you can say that is half
And yeah, here were born of the same, not normal way. Okay. What
about the I use? Of course that is
a complete other
way of creation. So that's we've listed five ways of creation. No,
all right? Well, there's a sixth way of the creation of the human
being.
And that is in the resurrection.
Our souls are put into the body in a different way. So your soul, you
don't go into a womb, what happens? When the trumpet is
blown, all the souls becau enter the presence of what's called
other than Russia, the location of the Judgment Day, and all of the
flesh that you used to be made of, will come back and soar in the air
and form
your body.
And what's the proof of that in the Quran, which is saying Abraham
Ali Salam asked Allah subhanaw taala at any k for to Hinomoto
show me how you give life to the dead.
Meaning how does the soul
go back into the body after the soul has left it?
So Allah subhana wa Tada says, oh, what I'm talking he said you don't
believe that this is going to happen but will actually occur to
me of course I believe but it will give me more to what Nina to see
it. Okay. So it increases your faith. So this is why we have
witnesses. This is why we have contracts right? If you show me
tell me that you, you, you paid my bills. That feels great. Can you
if you show me the receipt now I'm at a different level of trust.
When I see the receipt for myself, so ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada says, he
was out about two minutes lady, take four birds cut them up.
slaughter them cut them up into pieces.
Thumb myjalah Allah Cooley Jabra Minho, Nigel's up, then put,
scatter them put a little bit in different places around a mountain
range that was there, like far apart on a mountain range so that
you could look up and see the creation got
so much Oh, no, then call upon them. Right revived by the
permission of Allah.
Dena Casaya. So what happens to say Nick Brahim did exactly what
he sold, put it all around. And then he says, he says, revived by
the permission of Allah.
And he saw their pieces of flesh flying together, and meeting one
another, to form another bird, and the other one flying together to
form the second bird and the third and the fourth. So like that is
the methodology by which we are created again, in the
resurrection, that is the sixth way that Allah has created human
beings. So it's just strange for the evolution it's why are you
insisting that the only way the human being could have come about
is from a male and a female, you have absolute ties something
completely subject relative and subjective, relative subjective
meaning, that
it Allah, if this is not absolute, human being can does not have to
come about only by a mother and father, we have to act upon that.
Right? We are commanded to act upon that. That means if you want
to produce a human being take the ASVAB but Allah is not limited to
this, but that's the point.
Hey, can you hit the autofocus on this thing? focused on?
Looking here? Just quick, quick, real quick.
Alright, so that's the idea and the concept, that the creation of
Allah subhanaw taala of the human being,
is not limited, that we could have been created in any way that Allah
wants. Could Allah have created the human being from an animal? Of
course, it's by reason within Allah's power to do that. The
Quadra of ALLAH SubhanA wits out of the ability of Allah is for
things that he may create, and he may not create. That's one of the
things that is possible for Allah, how to create something what to
create, it's very possible, there's nothing rationally
impossible about that, nor scripturally impossible, that he
could have created human beings or not. So as soon as they
scripturally imply that scripturally impossible, it's
rationally possible. And scripturally it's not impossible
that in the future, if Allah was to will to create a species from
another species it could happen, right, but
not in the past for the human being. Right. So this is the
concept of that death is nothing other than a trend.
mission.
And if you are claiming you have any slot, you're claiming Masha
Allah hood, that you are able that you are going to live in an
existence that is far greater than this existence after the little
hardship of death. Not a big in the grand scheme of things, not a
big deal, right?
In the grand scheme of things.
Why aren't you wishing for death?
Well, we know that when the Bedouins of the Arabs
were informed of Prophethood they accepted it.
And that when he asked What is this battle that's about to
happen? They said, Oh, the prophet is fighting his enemies. So it
seems to be that they had a sense that if you die for the sake of
Prophets, cause you go to heaven straightaway. Because that
Bedouin, he went, and he asked to make sure I go to paradise. If I
die fighting for a prophet of God. Prophet said, Yes, he said, then
there's nothing between me and Paradise, then this small amount
of dates that I was about to eat.
He threw the dates, ran into battle and died and went to John,
and that man had not taken over, had never made will do, had never
uttered one word of the Quran. Had never prayed a prayer in his life,
fasted a day in his life, did anything but he had the concept
and Allah had willed for him. This ending, okay.
He had probably not known the name of any Sahabi. Yet Allah wills for
him, the highest rank to be a Shaheed of the sahaba. And there's
a famous story
that the man said, he just put two and two together, you are your
prophet of God, okay, well, God, we know the concept is heaven and
*. If Oh, if I die for you, I go to heaven straightaway. What?
What I hit the lottery, you're literally walking and you and you
see a pot of gold. That's what happened to this man. Allah will
do, right. And he took advantage of it because other people didn't
take advantage of it. Which could have been a great aid to the
Prophet he chose the opposite path.
Right? See through the dates, how about Abdullah bin obey? You see,
it's not just people, there's no such thing as just getting lucky.
There's a person who needs to receive the luck. Luck
does have a concept in Islam, it's called to have and it means that
it's what Allah has.
has willed for you.
Okay, we can call it fate to what Allah has willed for you that but
without your action.
He didn't take any action to be in the situation where the battle of
Better believe it was the Battle of budget that was another one of
the battles that was that that happens in
he didn't do anything for that is his have.
And Allah mentions do have the Nadim good, have that it's
something a lot board proportion for your without your efforts. But
someone you have to be in a situation to take advantage of it.
How many people the their the situation falls right into their
laps, and they screw it up. So clearly, that man must have done
good in the past, so that he could recognize the good in the present.
Right? And that's the thing that you that's why they ask the
question.
Can we can we become good without Islam?
If you say no, that how does anyone convert to Islam? Right was
not the best of deeds to go from being a pagan to being a Muslim.
So clearly, there is goodness outside of Islam. But that
goodness will never ever be complete nor optimized without
Islam. Without Revelation, we need revelation. So there is the
concept of goodness is that comes from your fitrah. It comes from
the Prophet himself said leftover teachings of prophets that have
scattered throughout the earth. It comes from even intellect,
intellect can tell me that there's conflicts of interest there is
there are certain situations where
two people can you see why this is not charging. Like really slow.
When it's going down actually even though storage, right can
intellect can tell me that if I'm an accountant,
and the customer is
my son, I can't be his representative, right? Intellect,
why because emotion is going to mix with reason. So that's a
conflict of interest. Okay. So, intellect also is a source of
knowing goodness, but all of these three sources
have limits. They will never be able to answer certain questions
and they will never optimize your goodness because ultimately, our
goodness is optimized by the mixture of the vicar, the Quran,
and the revealed remembrance of ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada with our
hearts and it optimizes
And the Cydia answers questions that could never have been
answered before, okay by mere intellect or fitrah. So, clearly
this man though, when he came upon this battle, and he came upon the
Prophet, in his past, he had done good, he had lived well
with his conscience, that his fitrah was clean.
And he knew what to do right away.
And he jumped right into the battle and died. And he believed
and trusted, so he must have done good. So have is something that
comes to you without any effort of yours. But your past will
determine whether or not you could take advantage of it. And I'm
telling you that the secret of these things are, it's the micro
decisions you make every day.
The micro decisions we make every day compile, and allow us to take
advantage of the major decisions. And how many times have you seen
armies, or teams in our world today, we haven't seen wars in
armies really that much. But we've even the wars of today are just
like, you don't What do you you don't see anything. So like, you
see a battle or anything. They're just in our minds, maybe I'm sure
the generals and the soldiers know what's going on. But in our minds,
Iraq or Afghanistan, we're all that it's like a blur. You know,
bad things are happening. That's it, you don't see a strategy and
stuff on either side. But so teams that have all the talent in the
world, but they cut corners, because they think they're so
good. They don't have to finish their laps, they don't have to
practice hard, because they look around and see superstars, and
they think they're so good. Then you got other teams
that know that they're not good, they're no, they're not going to
win on talent alone. So they have to put in extra effort in
practice. Now when these two teams face off, okay. And it comes down
to the moment of truth. You see many cases, many times where game
seven goes to the weaker team.
Because the weaker team chases after does the dirty work is
willing to go the extra mile does not believe in their talents,
right. Whereas the bigger team, they feel that they're superior,
like they've never had to try hard, because they see superior
talent around them. And whenever superior teams blow out other
teams, it's almost like a type of is to draw, it's almost like a
type of it's a it's a curse, because it makes them believe in
their talent more. And the requirement of hard work less.
So that's why if you want to know how to make yourself ready to take
to be able to take advantage of Allah's gifts, you look at the
micro decisions, real cutting corners.
And and for guys. It's like this.
In the summertime, there will be literally dozens of moments every
day where you enters into proof your your peripheral vision,
something in order to look up.
You have a decision right there.
Now, if you were to extend your gaze for two seconds,
would you feel that you had committed a major sin? Does a
person would your would you be held responsible? Would would you
feel that you have committed? No, it's a minor person, right? But
the problem is that this is going to recur.
I would say 5000 times in the summer, between spring and summer,
it's going to recur.
Whereas the person who says that
I'm going to turn my gaze down, I'm going to look away.
It's that it's the choice. It's the decision, and Allah is
watching that decision. So then there's going to come a time where
an amazingly great gift is right there for your reaching all you
have to do is repeat that small minor act that you did, but you
won't be able to do it.
Because every time you had the micro decision, you said it's not
a big deal, and you didn't do it so you didn't exercise that taco
taco has to be exercised in order to get stronger.
Right and that's why we have to know FIP
because you cannot avoid haram unless you know what's haram. You
cannot do a son unless you know it's it's only you can do a photo
unless you know what's afoot. And the best deeds are the ones that
are most difficult for you. That's the it's not the best deed in
itself. It's the best deed for you.
The best deed in itself, of course is saying that Allah Allah Allah.
Prophets, I seldom said this.
But the best deed for you is the deed that you want to do that you
can't do. That Allah forbid you are the deed that you have to do
and you don't want to do it for some reason, such as getting up
prefetched
may be very difficult for some people, that's your best deed. But
if you work the nightshift, right, and your challenge will may be
getting a frost, right? If someone works from 11pm to 8am Phaedra is
in the middle of his day of his workday. And no one's there,
right? No one's at work. There's no hardship for that person to
prefetch. So for him, the best deed may be when he goes home
anyway, time he sleeps, let's say sleeps at noon, and he wakes up
before my crib. Well then also to be the hardest thing for him. Or
the hood will be the hardest thing. So it's relative.
Right.
Let's now go to your comments and your questions. That thing
charging shown with that.
Okay, good, and we'll leave that for now.
Okay,
so now I'm Rahmatullah no matter how to God nakaji.
Ladies and gentlemen,
it's time for open QA.
Salam aleikum, give how are you? Sandman s is saying.
It's like the turnovers the hair, exactly. The hair, the hair or the
rabbit feels that
he has got superior talent, superior speed. So that leads him
to take the matter lightly.
The tortoise knows it doesn't have enough talent to win.
So it takes every step everyone leaves no stone unturned.
It's interesting to me how like some of these children's stories
are applicable to every age group. Oh, it's so it is. So like iconic
like how many times you hear that trillionaire being brought up and
like every totally there shake. Mickey Smith was at the norley man
school's
graduation ceremony. He gave a speech was was amazing. He said
it he took it from a guy who had he cited the credit. I don't know
who the credit was, but he cited the guy. But he said that if all
we practice was what we learn in terms of character, morals and
character, is what we learned in kindergarten. What would the world
be like? Like in kindergarten all the o'clock that you really need
for life? You're you're taught in kindergarten, share, make room, in
like, wash your hands.
Don't touch other people's stuff. Listen to your teacher, you listen
to your elders, right? put things back where you found them, right?
Don't take other people's stuff. Don't make a mess clean up after
yourself. And he went on and it was amazing that I'm thinking to
myself, that's actually true. If any said Imagine if nations did
this right. If nations didn't touch stuff that's not yours.
Right? What would the world be like?
Oh, now
you're not hitting brothers. I don't know if your mic is on but
says nowadays kindergarten is different. That's why
you know, they're they're ruining the kids. Well, I really do.
enlever jonka Ferrara, ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada says, A suited No,
that's a no complaints. Oh, Allah, they they don't give birth except
to a profligate disbeliever.
Thinking about that, what does that mean? Of course, no baby
comes out as a disbelief or in a cafe. But he's saying the
transition from birth to cover is so quick. There's not even room to
talk to the kid. Like you can't even appeal to the fitrah of a
kid. They distort the kids so quickly. Right. And that's what's
happening. Now the kids are now distorted because no fitna can
come to another prophet except it's going to come to the Prophet,
Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa salam, in the absence of the
prophesy Salem, and that OMA will overcome that fitna. All of it
showing the greatness of the messenger SallAllahu Newson, any
fitna that you see happens at any profit, we will get some of it.
Right? If the profit will be there for it, or he will not be there
for it, it's not going to make a difference when he is not there
for it. In other words, I'm saying I mean, it's not going to make a
difference in terms of magnifying the rank of the profit. Because if
the followers of the Prophet pass a test, in the absence of the
messenger, who's who gets the credit, that's more credit to the
Prophet. Like way after me, you followed my teachings in between
the bones of a book and transmitted through men, and you
still pass the test. Right, that is even a greater testimony
to the power of Islam, and the greatness of the messenger
sallallahu alayhi wa salam. Let's compare that not to compare
prophets, but to compare OMAS let's
We have there have been messengers whom
within 100 years of their death, the essence of the faith was lost
and confused. Right? Like within 100 years of of Christianity of
deen and Masada the religion of the those who supported say nicer
right?
Didn't even know whose God within 100 years you didn't know whose
god
how unreal is that? That shows that that religion was not meant
for the end of time you lost it you fumbled it
here you're here in the Superbowl you fumbled the ball on the first
play. On the first drive, you fumbled it and they scored games
over. So what happened to Peyton Manning against the Seahawks? You
guys remember that? Too young for that maybe? First game first play
in the game. It was over.
My I never used to watch the Superbowl but some friends of
mine. They said oh, you gotta come and our family used to be friends
with their family. So we used to all go. And I'm sitting there in
the games at Giants Stadium. We're watching the game. Peyton Manning
the elects or I don't know Seahawks elect to defer. So Peyton
Manning gets the ball first. They punt off to the Broncos, they get
the ball there at like it's it was about a bad return was a bad
return. So they get the ball was a great kick in a bad return. They
get the ball very close then zone. Pay a man goes out for the first
play of the game. He's making the calls. Okay. And the guy he
couldn't hear I guess the senator hikes the ball. It goes over
Peyton Manning's head.
Seahawks defense recovers, it gets two points right there on the
first play. They pan over to Peyton Manning's face. You know,
the game's over. He was so shocked. So surprised what just
happened. And he's not the type that handled pressure very well.
That was his downfall. Right? Or not as his weak point. He was shot
done game over. That's what these these Dean's did. These followers
of Dean BMS are filming Kitab Allah, Allah says you were made to
guard the word of Allah. You lost the concept of who God is in the
first century. And then you had to have an argument of the Nicene
that whole Nicene Creed and you had to basically had an essence a
conference of discover who's God.
You had to go and call all the priests. Hey, guys, who's God? Who
are we worshipping here? What is the nature of Jesus? All sorts of
imaginary things about Jesus, right?
Oh, he is man and God at the same time, all go into the Nicene
Creed, you will see so many contradictions. And by the way,
some of those I remember reading some of those who who had an
actual toe heat, were banned from coming to the conference. They
like had the conference without some people.
And the guy comes in Constantine, and he's a politician, right.
I need one policy for the whole empire. And he forces them to come
up with a paragraph real quick and then come up with something and
who knows if all of what we know about the Nicene Creed is even
transmitted properly. It's all
where's the Senate for all of it?
Even the stuff that's wrong doesn't have a Senate right
are stronger than they are are naive and extremely naive, Hadith.
threadbare Hadith has more weight historically has stronger
historicity
then everything else
so
yeah,
like every line is a contradiction
and crazy.
At the same time, he's uncreated and begotten Come on, and then
you're gonna be against the trends who aren't making any sense how
I have to say I'm sorry like how read it again. He is uncreated and
begotten simultaneously
created
fathers Yeah, they're not three
somewhere down at the Sun eternally begotten
it's
I don't get it. Honestly, you you mission it's awkward has gone out
of the room.
Your basic logical privacy
law of non contradiction, the the law of non contradiction was
slaughtered, victimized, run over buried, right and disappeared,
which is now a verb.
Okay.
So then explain
To me, how, why you would be upset with the trans movement just from
a rational person, I get it from the physical perspective.
But from the and by the way, you know, there's some trans have said
this.
They said you all Christians hold beliefs like this, that things are
what they really aren't. And you're forced to believe that,
okay?
You're bothered when I tell you I'm, I'm a guy or a female
please
can we have suggestions for Islamic books for teenagers please
says on the medium, I would highly,
highly agree, recommend you get
a number of different books on
Sierra stories of Sahaba. And the proofs of the belief in Allah and
His messengers to lower these three subjects.
The Prophet and the Sahaba
is people gives you people to look at.
And it's the their stories are the encapsulation of so many different
Islamic teachings. Right? Because that's the fact it the benefit of
a story is that it encapsulates so much in one incident.
And those books should be read nonstop. And secondly, I would
advise you to get
Hamza sources book on what is it called, the divine reality and get
this book. I have also a small book very thin, but I have it's
out of print right now. This book right here, the divine for
critical minds. And if they're 716 15 1617, they could probably
understand this. If they're more like 1314 and maybe 15. They maybe
can't understand this. But they must be introduced to the rational
strength that underwrites our belief, like the rational proofs
that underwrite our beliefs. And people do really, it's very
surprising when people
talk about Khuddam. And they're wondering, oh, is halal? Wait,
hold on a second, don't use every single thing you do. Don't you
think before you do it, every single thing that you do, you must
think before you do it. When the Sahaba believed in the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam they thought about it, all of them
acceptable. But that is a deep, he had so much experience with the
prophesies I didn't even think about that's why his Eman is
different from everyone else's. But it's a categorically higher
level. But everyone else thought about the Prophet, thought about
the message and accepted it, thinking that's all people are
saying, when the revelation comes. And you read the words of the
revelation, you have to think what the words are.
and analyze and read other verses and make sure your understanding
does not contradict other verses. That's the use of logic, right?
Thinking that's all it is.
Also,
if the if a hadith says that something is haram,
the fucky than which to hit mmm, he knows so many Hadith, we can
never say all the Hadith, but close to that right in which dead
demons and they know the verses of the Quran, with the Arabic
knowledge that they have the permission, or they have the Jaza
from there, they have the
ability to ensure that their rulings don't contradict each
other. And wheresoever there is a contradiction, they have to have a
reason why they chose one over another. We have stories between I
was just reading this. I want to read it again because I can't
remember all the it was Jose Hanifa when I was there, I said
Yeah, Imam
You are elder. Why don't you rule by raising the arms before the
cool and after the war. When the Hadith has in it, so and so and so
and so and so and so and so and so
he says because I have another Hadith that has so and so and so
on, so on and so on, so that the prophets I send them only raises
hands once. And I have another one that even no matter who you're
citing, did not raise his hand. So I take his action over his
narration. And so and so in the chain is older than so and so on
your chain, and so on. So on the next chain is superior. It's so
and so in the next gen. Right and he went and he compared the whole
chain. So what is that? That is a methodology is thinking logic
using your brain. And we call that in the law we call it also did fit
in the belief we call it ultimate Kalam.
The people they just want to smear it with the Greek. Have you ever
seen a Greek book ever? I've never seen one. Never seen a Greek term.
Never seen any of this. It's a complete fabrication of
fabricated, right
Just like Sufis, their grave worshipers.
We don't even have graves here, right. We don't have graves of
Olia here, I'm sure they're only up but they're not like graves in
the sense you go sit down. I've been with the shoe. In Egypt, we
visited Griffes and we visited Griffes. In Medina, we represented
graves, which you in Teddy, we visited grips, nothing happened.
They went to the graveyard. They stood with respect. They said sit
on one acre of data come and what we need when and Shalabi hula
hippo to everybody, they made dua for everybody and everyone makes
dua for themselves and they recited some Quran. The Quran
recitation, we intend it as a gift for the dead. If not, even if you
don't do that they hear it. Right? We know that the dead can hear.
Okay, let's say the dead can't hear what will eat because some of
them have restricted the hearing of the dead to a certain time of
day. Right? Like it will claim says they can only hear Fridays,
right? Friday before French. Between federal law, whatever it
is.
It's stuff that said and repeated over and over and over, no
different than trans women or women. It's just repetition Greeks
and graves, Greeks and Greg Adams seen a Greek and I've seen a
grave, right. I've seen anyone doing in a bad day by our grave,
doing a better to a grave, right? It's literally show us the video
of a scholar that is
doing a better to a grave.
It's a lie. It's just repetition, repetition, repetition. And it
reminds me of those who are just saying trans women or women, they
just have to repeat it over and over and over. Didn't come up with
logic. It's like, why are you using language? Before you use it?
Exactly. So why are you speaking English? Why are you speaking
these language? What the Greeks did is the best thing they would
have done is to codify what is implicit to all people? What is
something that is innate? I should say the word innate to all people
to think rationally, what they did is codified things, right? They
codified this. So it's also innate for people to try to discover
easier ways to do things, right. But who discovered modernity, the
British factories and who was the first person to use machines to
move things instead of servants and slaves, the British,
Birmingham, I believe Birmingham as a place to the the first place
to have a factory where machines moved things, rather than humans
having to move things. So the desire to make things easier for
us is innate to all humans. So if I go and I build a factory, I'm
imitating the Crowfall now and taken from the kofod Are you
driving to the exact car is your use of technology? It's an innate
desire to make things more efficient. Likewise, we have
innate, all human beings want to be more efficient. All human
beings want to be more comfortable. All human beings
appreciate logical thinking. All human beings appreciate
compassion.
Just because one civilization, codified it, or was the first
person civilization to codify. It does not mean that they invented
it. No one invents logic. It's innate to all human beings. Right?
Subhanallah
this book is really good.
Get this book, and get Hamza sorts his book so that your youth can go
to college. You know, what, even if they don't understand a word,
they know that Muslim scholars, they thought about things, because
that's what I felt with fucking Razi when I came upon David Scott,
philosophers like Davidson, and all these guys, and I'm reading
their books, and I'm like, getting a headache from like, how
really complex their thought patterns were. And I would open
some other books,
some other comic books looking for answers, but I wouldn't see
thought I would just say, knock, knock, I appreciate the
transmission. But you there's no thought here, right? Then you go
to fucking a Razzie. He gives you a transmission, then he gives you
10 pages of thought.
And I can't understand what he's saying. I'm like, 18 years old.
17. I cannot say what he's saying. But I want to not understand.
Right, in the sense that when he I'm 17, if I understand everything
that you're saying, that's a problem, right? I'm just a year
one ton of him. I shouldn't be able to understand books like
that. So the existence of knowing that these people were refuting
others. At that same level, I just rest assured, I know we got to
open up the books because daddy, like his his book on the
philosophers Oh, this is going to be the book. All right. It's going
to be the book to refute these people really can understand what
he's saying, okay, he's at a higher level. I shouldn't be able
to as a year one student, but it gives you a perspective that we
got we got our heavyweights, they know what's going on, and later in
life use you you get there and understand what they're saying.
I will welcome
says using geometry change Greek don't use it to build masajid he
says you can go as far as to say that if you criticize logic for
being Greek you should outright reject Euclidean geometry. Yeah.
So because of people wrote about it, and they and what was the
Cofer, can you trade please is where in Sofia insofar as they had
assumptions that were not based upon
actual observations they were not provable they were not anything
okay? They were just beliefs that's what we would have to
reject. Like their belief. I think it was Aristotle who believed
that the universe has always existed
Plato or one of them
don't even know right
go open the books of him and know he should tell me what's in there
that's because he is um What's a column but
the simplest version of everything
all right, give me a question.
My phone died but give me a question from
from Facebook from YouTube because my phone has
questions
can we still offer
Can we still offer so that's what we will do so net profit after
making even if we hadn't previously prayed with can we
offer so lots of work we'll do like you know I think like
bringing after you can pray it's two tacos. Yes.
If you prayed with
no if you prayed whichever then No, you don't pray no effort after
which
you don't pray no effort after which means saying so have you in
a dream making dua What is this mashallah, it's a very good dream.
And they You should also make dua, Muhammad Earth and the believer is
a mirror of the believer and he should, if sometimes you see a
righteous person doing something in a dream, it may be like a
suggestion for you to do the same thing. So you should increase in
in da
Sykes 12 says, Can you repeat the name of the books?
The Divine for critical minds.
And the other book is Hamza sources is what? The divine
reality and hey, can I bother you to look in here for the second
book there and see if that's the book on evolution?
By Maheen
tassin
is no.
Justin's book on evolution seen Khan wrote a great book on
evolution which we should get. People should get.
Schedule for NB f this summer. Yeah, same. We're back. We don't
have any other breaks unless something happens as an emergency.
But Monday through Thursday 123 Seco 87 Shake what have he deadpan
said I leave you what does that mean? Exactly? You guys translate
that into youth from an English from you know, it's an Instagram
says What if he deadpan said I leave you?
Is he speaking youth or what?
Because I don't understand half the stuff that for youth maybe?
Yeah, my youth. Here's awesome. 83 says I need to decide between
sending our 10 year old son to an all boys High School highly
selective academic school in the UK, versus the newest Islamic
school
opened up but has no track record. I'm not going to send him my
No, these days a cabinet isn't regular old Catholic anymore. I'm
sorry to say this and talk like this, right? But this is the
truth. The non believer is not your regular old non believer
anymore. Right?
Like the old days, he's a Christian.
That's it right? He may be a bit modernist in his thinking, but
he's a Christian. I tend to believe and Allah knows best that
a lot of these, they're heavily influenced in
a completely antithetical worldview that is going to be
filled with a lot of liquid IQ and all these other things, and those
agendas, and on top of that, it's going to be a place of excessive
mingling for high schoolers, right boys and girls and we know that's
a problem. And our belief is that if the heart is clouded, the
intellect is clouded. So if you want someone to think clearly
purify their heart first, from the sins and everything, Allah always
says to these people, if it's up to you don't write down what
happened to your intellect because the sins
down here, have just allowed you to think clearly. Okay?
So I would
have to say that it's I don't care so much about the words, people
are saying I care more about the environment for the heart.
Knowledge can be learned in many different ways. But alone is best.
You know, that's just my thinking. Mode is asking what is the most
important thing to do as a new parent, preparing for their view
of your child.
Most important thing to do as a parent, it's not really to do,
it's where you put your attention. And where you're going to put your
attention is on sub. Because I'm telling you, you're only ever
gonna regret two things. I believe, in my purse position.
Experience, you're only going to regret getting angry, and you're
going to regret not being there.
Missing out on things. So what people regret is probably the most
important thing and most people do regret, anger and absence. So
that's why I think that you should use your attention should be on
presence. And somebody
is, kids will they don't value your stuff? Because they, they
have no, they have no concept of that. So they may tear up your
books. I remember one time
a guy came. And he said that he told us a story. He said that they
came home from aid. And there was just two parents. And one kid came
home from aid and as everyone, usually people fall asleep
after eat, especially in Ramadan, right, fell asleep.
And the kid did not fall asleep because the kids obviously was not
two year old was not fasting with them, right? So he didn't fall
asleep. So he woke up, they came back, the whole
reachable level of books in the library was on the ground, not in
some neat way thrown. All the books were thrown anything that
the kid could reach were thrown. Right? And they slept through it.
He woke up and had a fit of anger. And then he realized what am I
doing? Yelling, scared the kid made him cry, but yelling and
getting so angry at a creature who does not have any ill will and
what he's doing is just has no reference point for this, that you
have to take care of books. So anger and an absence I would say
focus on if you can avoid those.
And always have to be a great parent, but avoid the screw ups.
And that's how you screw people up.
What was the most intriguing animal that you came across today?
Oh, man. Did you guys see that thing that I posted on Twitter?
In Sudan, Allah gave these the people of the Nile River a gift.
You know what the biggest danger in the Nile River is? Crocodiles.
So in Florida they have these little alligators and maybe this
big this big that alligator is not a big problem.
Crocodiles
are a huge keep going down. That's weird. That was weird. We're gonna
get to that.
Yeah, take a picture of that.
Scary screenshot. Yeah.
That bird looks like a dinosaur.
Like four feet tall.
They're tall they're storks. So they have long legs their bill
it look how you take that picture. That's perfect. The one you just
clicked Yeah, that one.
Their bills are huge. And when they walk around, okay, they sound
like it's a machine gun going off
right with the weird thing is that sounds like the machine guns going
off but the voice sounds like someone's screaming so literally,
they produce the two sounds that make it sound like an attack.
Right?
I gotta get it for you here. I'm gonna I'm gonna play the sound
here. Sounds good. Yeah, and but they're but this and that and the
sound that they're making with their with their. With their voice
though simultaneously sounds like someone's screaming it's the
weirdest thing.
Okay, here we go.
And these this thing eats baby crocodiles. So this store has been
created by Allah subhanaw taala to reduce to level out the crocodile
population which is a gift for the people of the Nile. Look at this
me enlarge it and push me to the side.
Here you go.
This is a mean looking
bird.
You all see that? Wow. That is a mean looking bird. You do not want
to mess around with that bird. Not all birds are nice fluffy things.
schugel stork native of Sudan.
We should have a segment.
I have to get you the sound of it because you
Huh we're gonna have an animal segment Yeah, we need an animal
segment
I gotta get you the sound of it
because it's sounding like
it eats monkeys whole you know that monkeys
this prehistoric bird. I don't want this
play that
you hear that? Go back to when she's screaming and making the
noise. It sounds like a stolen let me let me find it so I can put it
up to the mic
on YouTube. Okay, what is it? What's the Shoebill stork
What's the title of that specific video? He's the second one it's
it's like 18 seconds long
Yeah, this sounds like machine gun Jeff Japan yeah, here we go listen
to this ancient Egyptian artworks because it's so common and there
was no this
screaming
is that someone shooting the bird? No, that's the bird making
so I had to check if this was aI first when I first saw it. I
thought it was aI like someone had designed this thing
but this is the actual sound of the birth crazy but that'd be a
good war tactic. Just throwing it out there yeah
do that and then when you when you get attention from the cops and
stuff at work I'm just playing a video sir. birdwatching
Yeah, maybe they'll take me to court for that like they're taking
me to court for the goat
I have huge anxiety about the Hellfire have good opinion of
Allah subhanaw taala
if I'm at work and giving the most of them extra perks, but being
more strict in terms of rules and regulations, is this appropriate?
If it's not outside the bounds if it's within the bounds of your own
your purview as a manager, okay.
I think that you should be generous in general because it's
the best character in Dawa. Yeah, read me. Oh, my goodness,
remember, I'm on Instagram, but I don't see.
Sure What does it mean to be content in decree? How do we
reconcile between making dua for what we want and being content
with Allah's decree? Very good question. How do I reconcile
between making dua but being content with Allah's decree? Very
simple answer. Contentment is for things that are now and in the
past
dua is for the future to have nothing to do with each other.
Right? I'm very content and happy with everything that I have now
I'm making up for more can do ah is not contentment is not related
to the future. Contentment is related to the present.
Okay.
Very simple. And why do I want more? Is that greed? No, it's not
greed. I'm not harming anybody. Allah subhanaw taala has so many
so many beautiful things that he created. And I want some of it
it's going to make me have more sugar. That's the condition it
will become a bad for you. If it makes you have more sugar. So you
should always write say Allah mctimoney minutes check it in,
which I am going to check it in. Okay, here's a question from Adam.
What makes video games haram to play?
Okay, what would make of a specific video game caught on to
play?
Some have said what is haram to do? Is how to physically is haram
to do virtually others have said no, shooting someone virtually is
not haram at all. So I tend to think that shooting someone
virtually is not how to write he just it's target practice, right?
What's difference between that and shooting a piece of paper, right
going to arrange a shooting a piece of paper so I don't
necessarily buy that. But
things that would be haram to look at things that will be haram to do
in terms of
let's say I'm shooting out of person in a video game. It's it's
a war game. War is not necessarily how we might have to go to war
someday. But if there's something like
that
I don't even know what's in games these days. Stealing * this
stuff is not in games, right? Depends on which depends there.
It's stuff is in game. So that will be haram. Right? But I don't
necessarily so I don't necessarily think about this specific in the
game, however you as haram, but I would discuss it as benefit or
harmful, which is a different level of a discussion. So not
everything is just legal. Because things that are lawful could be
bad for you, is it good for you to just be shooting, shooting,
shooting and seeing blood squirt everywhere, it may desensitize you
to that, right. Some people are of the school of thought that
desensitization to violence has a benefit. Yeah, in the sense that
if violence ever breaks out, and you are desensitized to it, your
mind will be able to react better, your body won't shut down. Whereas
if you are if you're very sensitive to blood, and you see
someone get shot and blown to bits in front of you, you're going to
panic and shut down completely, you'll be of no use to anybody, or
even to yourself, and you'll be the next victim. So there is a
value in a sense to desensitization to blood and
violence. So what about like, there is a value to that about
virtual women and like uncovered, uncovered and virtual women?
I probably say, I would have to say that. I would want to see what
the most of us have to say about it. But these things are also have
an element of intent. And we can't say that it is something that is
hot, we'll have no ruling to it. And I don't know if we can say
that. It's the same as looking to an actual picture of a woman, a
cartoon of a woman. Right? So if you have Betty Boop, and you have
an actual woman cannot be the same right? Yet at the same time.
She's looking, having that everywhere. cannot also be nothing
like so. Basically, you're blocking the means. Yeah, blocking
the means. It's it doesn't seem to be becoming right. It is
definitely going to lead you to that. So I would have to say that.
It can't We can't say it's nothing and we can't say it's equal. So
between the two, between looking at a real woman, and between
nothing, it's got to be something. So within karahi and maybe sorry
yes.
The thing is it can make
turbine tutorial turbine tutorial buying the class to tie different
I lost my black turbine still very upset about that when I can bring
it but what is it like what material like but I don't know
what the material is a little bit jersey? I don't know. I just use a
quick jerseys material. Right? Because it stretches it's you can
form it. Right? It was perfect. And I don't know how I lost it.
And I believe that after Ramadan. I was a bit ruthless. Cleaning out
the masjid
about 10 days after Ramadan. People stuff was on the masjid.
And it was collecting books to be honest with you.
So I cleared out came with some some volunteers. We cleared out
the whole message. We literally had piles this big of shoes. Piles
this big of clothes. So I said put out a message to everybody if you
want your stuff, come to the soup kitchen, get it on Wednesdays.
And we did that
for two weeks. There's some good stuff there. We gave it all to the
poor. Right. So someone maybe I got some of that back to me and
lost my
my turban cloth.
It was black. Yeah, black jersey material. Very simple. Perfect
length. Anyway,
you lose stuff, you get stuff. It happens. When can we drop off
supplies to the soup kitchen Wednesday. If it's close, you drop
it off Tuesday. They set up on Tuesday.
If it's food you drop it off five o'clock on Wednesday, or 530 on
Wednesday
so if you're on YouTube
so to read from you yeah read from you to see.
Let's swap
we're creating 3d avatars of people in virtual reality be
considered
will
creating 3d versions of people
as avatars being caught on and no it will not be hard on the crew.
If it's a full body it's my crew. If it's a full body and has a
shadow in real life, not in virtual life, then it is hot on
full body means that which
is
That which
can survive. So a human without a leg can survive right. But a human
cut from the waist could not survive.
A bust cannot survive. So the the criterion is two things cannot
survive as is
and doesn't have a shadow in real life, a physical shadow, not a
painting of a human of a full person and the painting of his
shadow. So an avatar and in online, virtual avatar would not
be
concern considered a real shatter so if it's a full body, it's more
if it's just a bust or a face or a head that could not survive. And
it doesn't have a shadow than Hello. that's those are the two
criteria
who Zog what does he say? Yeah, he's probably his nickname. Ah,
you gotta hop on threads instead of Twitter. Explained threat Oh
threads is face. Oh, I gotta download it. I'm gonna download
it. It's called threads. Yeah. I wonder why he chose that name
because threads are you know, just series of tweets is called the
thread right? So when do I call that but let's let's check out
because Zog is our guy here, their Facebook. And he works
all right, I see it here. threads and Instagram app. Alright.
Twitter. That's Twitter, basically. But we'll go on there
and we'll we'll talk about what we use to talk about why not create
an account
and get ahead of the game
all right. Have you used threads on? I've looked at it but like
there's a lot of beef apparently between Ilan and Zuckerberg. Yeah,
he's basically saying that devil lawsuit actually is held against
Zuckerberg because they're saying that he scraped like all the data
from Twitter and copy and pasted it onto threads and just like
ripped it off. Sucker berg is not my favorite the same thing with
like stories as well. He ripped off a lot of people in his life. I
don't mind to rip it off but make it better right.
rip people off that's life right if you're better
you want any tried to do the meta and failed? Badly right? Didn't he
feel badly thanks. I haven't heard of it shut. Hey, Zog is Metis shut
down on over you're allowed to say but it shut down right they they
MATA is shut down if I'm correct about what happened is Zog
answering his
question again all right. Yeah put your question again. Please say go
pictures of the soup kitchen dotted fat to the studio. Oh well.
The Inside Face to take a year
now we're gonna have a lunch good campaign soon.
Okay. But the outside we showed it last week do you have it's still
there in in the the Cosina pictures the what we acquired what
we promised what we you have that
and we actually want to think about
streaming
you know?
Zero Zuckerberg survives on his competitive nature.
His products in his best the best product that he produced was the
early years of Facebook.
The faith early years of the Facebook mobile app.
Instagram, he didn't produce he bought WhatsApp. He didn't produce
he bought.
What has he screwed up big time Facebook. I used to find it so
easy to use Facebook. I used to go on. Click a button. And it's right
there. Now. I go on. There. There are about no less I guarantee you
than 100 images.
I can't find what I need.
I can find it but I have to think for about five seconds and the
thing takes so much to load.
I'm done.
I'm done with this.
So I think that
he needs to go and now
thing updates every five days. So my end
Instagram inbox. My Facebook inbox is now messenger and everything is
there and I have no clue what's happening. Like you can't change
on people that much that quick, right?
And everything's merged
Not a fan. I'm not a fan of Elon Musk, but he's done a better job
reviving Twitter my opinion.
I don't like I like half of Elon Musk and I don't like the other
half. The you know that he's is he's a big hater of Islam.
Some of these tweets Yeah, he's a bit he loves these anti slam
people that's a part of I don't like I do like the other side of
him. Right? In terms of his, but he's not my favorite inventor at
all.
My favorite of them is Steve Jobs. Without a doubt. There's no
discussion and Thomas Edison. Those are the those are the real
ones
in Edison steel, like
in Edison steel, though. Did he steal it from Tesla? This is like
something I heard he had beef with Tesla. He shut him down. I think
he was pretty mean to Tesla.
Okay, so now my Instagram is merged with threads. I'm not a fan
of all this stuff.
Everything is merged I guess it makes sense. But
let's see. I'm gonna have my friends are on here already.
Shipping Assad is here. Maureen is here.
They're actually going to do it.
Were at the Roman Coliseum. I saw that too. I don't know. That would
be great.
I was gonna go. I don't know. I'm not a fan of either one.
But
I don't know how Zuckerberg can defeat Musk who was twice his
weight.
Training, I think, yes, training. But when a guy can just sit on
you. Right?
As if he makes weight.
But there are different weight classes to write. So how's that
going to work?
All right, I'm on threads officially.
Aman threads. And it's essentially, as you said, a
Twitter version of Twitter. Essentially, you can rethread
something, heart something, comment or
post it.
Some questions? Go.
Even one question. What's the question? Give me a question. I
think we missed someone's asking how can one live in Medina?
Practically? Do you know anyone from America who settled there?
Yes. I know someone who's in Medina right now and can show you
how to live their paperwork visa. It's getting easier. So you need
to contact me.
Will there ever be an ArcView month tip course? Yes. And John.
See, one thing I liked about Zuckerberg, they I think he did
better than musk.
No one wants. You have to be a real human. And you have to put
yourself out there on Facebook and Instagram. Right? Pretty much
Instagram I think too. I mean, you could be an organization. But the
Musk is supporting the annonce he announced it he said he will
support annonce Anons to me
I'm not lotto
but I think that
they're a nuisance.
By the way
so much of my Twitter now is bots
liking responding, I'm like who are these? I look at a thing
someone who quote tweet you know you want to read what people are
quote tweeting.
You click on it and it's it's a bot. A lot of bots on my twitter
these days. I don't know why.
But there's lots of bots. It's not gonna be just for me, it's be for
everybody. Right? So that's one of the thing I don't like
is all the
all the bots, someone's asking I think they asked this question
like five times. What is it about the unseen? What about fortune
tellers and soothsayers some stuff? They say some some stuff
they say turns out to be exactly true. Yes, for prophesy centum
said about fourth soothsayers and
and
all these people is the prophesy. centum said they're liars even
when they're correct, which means that
they are saying so many things, that eventually one of them is
going to appear to be correct. So we don't listen to anything that
have to say. We never be afraid of them. Never be concerned by them.
And never
think twice about them, nor read their stuff even out of interests.
There's
An ID number for everyone on threads. Okay, let's look it just
imported directly the ID number
whereas
I don't even see an ID number here on threads I should write
something testing
Okay, so So what So I haven't there's a now another social media
that we have to follow and make sure that we're we're looking at
oh gosh, what a headache
more questions? Yeah, go ahead. Someone's asking chef what does it
mean for it to go back to the low one who what types of things is it
that he taught versus what are some things that are added through
the experience with you over time, like for example into Saturday
all of the total
can be numbered as 40 Many say
39 So I need to go back to 891 goes back sitting next Monday
and
it all the total car not all like to reduce it in a
in its value notes but to reduce it in its in its summary. Summary
of the matter is that it is how to perfect your servitude to Allah
commanded Oh booty Allah, or tech millet, or you can say okay, it's
it is perfecting our Obadiah to Allah subhanaw taala that is what
the Sheikh will show you how to do it, and guide you to it in the
same way that we don't believe in somebody who studied all his FIP
from a book.
We don't believe in that. You have to study FIP from books from
videos, from tapes from lectures, and most of all, number one from
humans. From a human cheat shaped likewise to perfect our Obadiah to
Allah subhanaw taala tactic optimizing,
making a reality, our obedience to Allah to Allah by
keeping the Sahaba of somebody who's done it. Who's and that
person kept us off of someone who did it back to the prophets of
Allah when he was done is the standard. Okay, so that's what the
total car in a nutshell, what does every shaker bring? They are
inspired with different idea that are filled with blessings and
Baraka. Are they at the level of Da so no, of course not. A day LMS
No, no, of course not. But that doesn't mean a no human life, like
human height. Of course it has a lot of good in it. And if Allah
loves upped his jaw and his of God will be probably better for me
then even if God that I make up myself, I can make up a widget
anybody can make up a widget. The question is, Does Allah love you
as much as you love that person? And is it better for you to do
things yourself or to follow somebody?
Okay, so that's where
that's what these have gotten our order. Mm hmm. Now he has a word.
I have I can write my own word. Who's going to who? Which one
would you rather say? You have one would have to recite before you
die? Am I going to take a moment? No, always or myself? I'll take a
moment always right. So there are a mess noona that are some say why
would I take him a nose would want to have the prophets. What do you
think you mama know is what it is composed of?
The duart from the Sunnah, that he selected, okay. And he put in his
audit.
The one of them people say oh, he innovated. What did he innovate?
Allah, Allah is Javi Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah
and FC. That's one of the things how do you say he innovated it did
not the prophesy centum said the PMO will not arise until people
stop saying Allah Allah. So he took that and he said so that the
pm and others would never it the summary is, I hope the pm and ever
arises upon you. Allah, Allah, Allah has Hubie Right? Or how
about this did not ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada say, the prophesy centum
said I will do a Bismillah by the name of Allah, Allah the lay of
the room is me che with whose name no harm ever comes. So when he
says Allah, Allah, Allah NIFC Allah Allah myself Allah Allah on
my saying it doesn't he's not saying I hope I would that no harm
comes to you by the blessing of Allah's name being mentioned next
to your name.
Okay,
Because the DUA clearly says Bismillah, in the name of Allah,
with whom next to whom by next to the name of Allah, no harm ever
happens. So that's where these Alia, were thinking, and they were
inspired to. And they wrote beautiful of God in a day, and
every era. All right, go, let's, let's go to the books of the past
and the Sahaba, and see how much they talk about what do they talk
about how to use the how to handle the fits in of our time, that's
where
the guidance, the best of guidance is, the further back you go.
But the most immediate benefit for you, okay, is what's present now.
So the guidance in the past, but the immediate benefit, the most
impactful, I should say,
is the present. Because the present will tell us, hey, listen,
this is how you should use social media. This is how you shouldn't
use it. This is how you should use a cell phone. This is how you
should use this is what's going to harm you this is what's not going
to harm you because he's living with you today. The impact is the
people living today. The guidance is the people of the past, the
people who are impacting you today, their guidance should be
taken from the past. But how that settles in our world today
is from them living scholars of today. So that's the balance
between the setup and the color of the past and the present.
Couple more questions.
What about preme being proud of writing your own book, nothing
wrong with beat writing your own book being happy, just realize the
truth inspiration is from Allah thank Allah thank all the people
who taught you and be proud of your work. Being proud of your
work is diff is not the arrogant pride.
Right? That's it's a good thing to be proud of your work and you put
effort into it and you're happy with. With everything. That's
there's nothing wrong with that. As long as you don't think you're
better than anyone else.
As long as you don't attribute the work to yourself. Yes, you worked
at it, but with what? Your brain your mind who gave you that? So
thank Allah first thank all the people who helped you and don't
look down on people. That's how simple it is
what are signs of accepted signs of an accepted draw is the draw
that you will not stop making you refuse to stop.
If that's really almost all you need, how about this, the
consistency and getting up for to hedge it. The consistency in
remembering the times of draw
the time of day ah
that's that's from Allah. You don't get up for 200 You don't sit
before mother, especially on Friday. You don't sit between Dora
nos on Wednesday, except that Allah guided you to that and
you're repeating that dot there is from Allah spawn.
So the fact that you're making the DUA you're persisting on it and
you're getting better at it, and you're getting better at all the
ASVAB Atlas le Jabba, that is all from Allah subhanaw taala And if
Allah did not want this for you, he would have turned you away from
all these things.
If you want to see what is headed your way,
see what you yourself are choosing to do what you are falling in love
with. I'm falling in love with food, weight is headed your way.
I'm falling in love with exercise. Fitness is heading your way. I'm
falling in love with trade. Money is heading your way what you
yourself are desiring is a sign of your future. And the beauty of it
is you can control what you desire. Right don't ever imagine
that I love something uncontrollably you can make
yourself not love something how distance love something else
here is a reason many star is saying and many star in her mother
attended some of the talks in England
I guess that would be major star, her mom. But why are their annonce
Moines and sad and all these guys they
they told me this too. They cannot afford to say their opinion.
On Twitter.
They'll be sacked. Unfortunately, I just said his name. But they
can't I don't know. I didn't say his last name. Okay.
They can't say speak their mind. They will be fired from their job
so quick. So that's the there is a value in that respect of annonce
because they want to contribute, but they have to contribute with a
different name
can I create an AI generated character posing as a 15 year old
financial expert and write an AI Finance Blog on their behalf
making readers into believing their real no
I'll tell you why. You can't do that insofar as people could take
your advice and hurt themselves. financial advice, religious
advice, health advice. I mean, health advice, not all of it. Like
as long as it's stuff that is what you know won't hurt somebody.
Okay? So
yeah, have to keep in mind any advice that you give where
somebody could hurt themselves? I remember a guy told me one time
sell gold and buy bitcoin. I did it. I lost money, right? I lost
money both ways. I lost on the gold. And I never made up on it on
the Bitcoin, not only did I not make it up, I lost more on the
Bitcoin went down. So that's why you can't give financial advice
without, you know, certain parameters in the United States,
you know, that you can score on giving financial advice.
Okay, you can go on talking up a company,
but to actually gives an individual financial advice,
right, there are parameters to that?
What is the question? Yep. What is the difference between writing
fiction and telling a lie? What's the shorter a difference between
fiction and lies? Fiction itself is a lie. Okay. However, the
question is becomes an intense because not all lies. Kevin, the
word tethered in Arabic is just anything that is not factual. All
fiction is a lie, right? It's Catholic, but it's lets us use the
Arabic term Kevin. However Kevin, did doesn't mean it's always
sinful.
So a fictional account being written, with no mal intent,
nobody's going to be harmed by it. And you're not twisting actual
facts such that people would be confused about the reality of
things. Is, is I don't I don't see that there's a prohibition I've
never heard of a scholar prohibiting that. So to to make up
a story about two animals
and how they lived for kids to learn something. I'd never heard
of anybody forbidding that. Okay, because what will be the
difference between that and toy? Animals that's valid to animals?
Or what about for adults? I also don't see that. It's forbid, I
never seen any of the scholars, I'm not going to permit or forbid,
but I've never seen any of the scholars forbid, a fictional
account that does not mix. You're not like bending the truth, in the
sense that somebody's gonna actually be mis
educated about life. They know, it's fiction, they know, the whole
thing is fiction. And you're trying to make a point. By that,
and there's nothing forbidden, like there's no lewdness.
It mentioned, then you're in the clear from, from what I've known
from the shoe, and then we can ask, but that's, I've never seen a
chef ever say writing fiction is haram. They say what's in it? And
what is the purpose of it? Are you trying to mislead? No, you're
writing a fictional story to pass on a lesson. Even just entertain.
Right? Then there shouldn't be something I've never seen. Anyone
forbid that. Isn't that really what B is really is just as like
analogy is like for example, you're gonna want to be right
there. What you want me
to do every there's a, an analogy being given about why this is the
case why this is the case. And we'll use a story that's Thank you
isn't I'm fed, I'm fed. It's fiction. I'm theater fiction,
right? As an ancient story of an old king who did this and that and
it's just transmitting the message or the point I should say, what
are the tips on getting up for to head Jude when the nights are so
short?
Drink a little bit
so that you will be forced to get up your bladder will wake you up.
Right your bladder put your alarm Sleep early us all that stuff make
us so far throughout the day

Sheikh Mohammed Al Kobe says recite the last four students I
have suggested Caf not only would you get to pretend that you will

How does one get back on track after having a lapse in Eman? Go

hang out with them. Hang out in the masjid pray in the masjid. The
Masjid is the hospital the hearts the good friends are the nurses.
The Sheoak are the doctors
okay chocolate Wallah.
big debate tonight.
DH and Javed to know what to do what to say what? To say what I
knew I'm still rooting for DH on this one. Because Nevada.
This is too far off. Javon. It's too far off
People keep asking about the in the chat about weapons. Weapon DH.
Let me say this
first of all I'm acquainted with both of them. Okay, I'm acquainted
with both of them.
So let me put it this way. Firstly, why is my opinion matter
in the first place? On this? Only we don't do like current events I
guess. But
let me put it this way. Allah subhanaw taala says in the Quran
well letter can you Illallah de novo Fatima second Munna
don't soften to people who are like, oppressors slash astray
because astray, you know, profligate in the religion astray,
is not oppressing another person, but they're oppressing the rights
of Allah. And they're oppressing themselves. Why did Allah say
don't be lead, don't lean towards them. Don't be lenient with them
Don't be so cozy with them. Why? Because the flare may get you
don't so come so close to a fire because fire spit stuff out
sometimes, unpredictably.
And that's what happens.
That's second thing to say, all right, people make mistakes, they
may have had a good intention. I don't want to
take their mistake bloat open. Right? Especially if they don't do
it again.
Those are the two things I come to mind really, is that
whenever you see one of these takedowns happen, right? You see
that?
I find a good person, but got a little bit cozy, a little close to
somebody who was good. And by the standard of Islam.
It gave an opportunity for somebody to go and smear you with
it. And that is exactly the meaning of that verse. Walter Kanu
Illa, Allah the novella Mufasa, Masako menar. Don't soften, don't
get so cozy don't get so comfy. So friendly with someone who is a
profit is fast it is. Okay. He's a good person, but he's doing
something haram. Right? openly and publicly.
Because you may put yourself in a situation that you can be smeared.
But there's enough evidence for the smearing to happen or not
evidence, but we could say content for this mirror to happen.
You're not always going to be judged by goodwill duct. I'm not
saying that. The opposite side Dan knows it wills. Many people are
saying that, but let's just take it at face value. He says he wants
to purify every other from this liberalism, find a take you at
face value. Right?
But stay away from Al Fisk. It goes for all of us, especially if
you're an Imam, because then it gives an opportunity for somebody
to smear you with something. Right?
If it's something you know, like,
if it's someone who's a facet,
facet does not mean wakes up in the morning, say I'm gonna disobey
Allah. No, he's in a lifestyle. He's been tested with that. It's a
test for him. Right? The way that the Imams and the facade
interacted with the facade came to the masjid, they came to the
public place where you can stop them. And they came in they saw no
see how they sat with the shit. No one would ever blame you for that.
No one would ever blame any mm. If
any person who's living some alternative way of on Islamic way
of living, came to the mosque and attended his class. No one will
say anything. Right? Because you did not incline towards them. They
came to you.
That's something that we got to keep in mind. On the other hand,
I never like to see someone get dragged into the dirt. I wouldn't
want to happen for myself, I wouldn't happen to want to happen
from my friends, or my own shoe, of course, or my own kids, or my
own family. Right. So to see somebody be dragged in the dirt.
Look, if it was my son, you know, I said just just say you screwed
up. What's wrong with screwing up? I screwed up what's not like
what's wrong with it, but human beings made that mess up, right?
You make it harder if someone comes at you in a nasty way.
becomes like you want to defend yourself. Now. You have to defend
yourself now to mechanism, right?
So if I come up my son,
and I say did you pray fetch immediately? He has to defend
himself, right?
But if I say something like, you know, nonchalantly in the middle
of other nice things that you're saying, say by the way that I
shouldn't I'm just using that as an example. Not that he skips
fetch, that just saying as an example, say
we all got to make sure to make French all of us he didn't say me
too. Sometimes I miss it. Alright,
If we almost everyone says the same thing. It feels like humble.
It's easy now to say it right.
So you look at the two different ways of going about it.
But that's just my own commentary just for the sake of the listeners
to have an idea.
Because I didn't see the question come up a couple times, but
hopefully we can all benefit from what I just said. Not just some
social commentary TMZ stuff, but we can all benefit from these
concepts that a
Walter Colonel Illallah de Navarra, molfetta, Masako, nor
get close to something that's not good. flares will come at you.
Number two, you should never enjoy someone getting dragged into the
mud and dragged in the dirt.
And number three, if you screw up, you screw up. Right? So I made a
mistake. I
thought there was a good decision. Maybe it's not but but it's got to
be in a way that you got to give the person the opportunity to do
that, if you come at them.
And here's the thing, let's be honest.
The other fellow Imams rarely call each other rarely and correct each
other. I have hamdulillah some people who who do right especially
in a matter of FIP
but in other things I think that it's it is rare. So in a sense.
It if we don't do that stuff, okay.
Then someone else will do it.
And it's not going to be pretty and that's what's happening.
Right? Most imams are very friendly. They don't want to like
mess. You don't want to like say anything awkward it firstly, we
don't all know each other, right? Oh, I gotta call a guy that I know
like I'll let me give you an example.
And I don't think he's gonna mind me saying was a submenu under
threat.
He is very sharp and right.
He contacted me one time and he said listen, you can't say
blanket statements about alcohol. He reminded me of something that I
knew but I forgot that's it that's what happens you know something
but you forget alcohol and the Hanafi school divides
that which is considered nebulous in itself and that which is
forbidden to get drunk off of.
Okay.
One has each mouth upon it its consumption the other does not
there is the physician prohibition of getting intoxicated from it.
Okay.
And the federal is by federal for said the video purposes to avoid
drinking it
altogether. Because it's a slippery slope federal not ruling.
So I want to eat mentioned alcohol altogether as one.
Right who says that? It's good for and he reminded me of the mistake.
Right? It's nothing to do say okay, I forgot about I slipped up.
Tried to defend yourself. Just be it's faster that way. It's fast.
You get over with quick. Oh, I screwed up. I forgot.
I said a lot of your Salama. A lot of people are entering Islam.
Okay.
I think that we have to
know Adam, but a lot of people aren't saying Islam, are they
going to enter into a mess?
So we need to get ourselves together quick. Okay, we need to
get ourselves together quick. Are they going to enter into a war
zone?
I prayed to Allah for these people. enter Islam, the abode of
peace and there's bullets flying back and forth. Who do I side
with? Who do I go to?
ask Allah to Allah to
put us all on the straight path. And I don't want to take the
position that
I want to get involved in what people are intending at all. You
never want to get there because you're never going to be right.
Even if you want you're right, you can't justify it. But let's take
people out there face value and ask Allah to rectify us in the way
we
you know, go about our data and interact with each other.
On the saying I see people disrespecting people of knowledge
so easily nowadays. That's this is not a good precedent. My wife was
talking to me about this the other day, so like this, she doesn't
look at any of this stuff. She doesn't look at any of it. You
don't even look at it. You don't even listen, like to listen to it,
because people have knowledge have to be here.
Okay, if you get dragged down
and you react badly,
you're basically putting on display that the knowledge didn't
work. And people have doubts about the knowledge. They'll have that
it didn't work. If you spent all day in the kitchen. And then I
come to the kitchen table to see what you cooked what you baked,
and you bring me
Eat a cement cake of a
brownie that looks like cement tastes like cement, then whatever
education you are getting in the kitchen, whatever books you are
reading in YouTube videos, you're watching failed, they're bad,
they're useless. Because you put it on display. Likewise Imams, if
they behave in a way that would cause people and if somebody else
would come in, like the critics, when they come in, and the whole
drama of knowledge is gone, we're doing everyone a disservice, the
whole amount of knowledge has to be there. Right? The whole month
sanctity
is made contribution to that. That whole this whole thing of
disrespecting people's
personal feuds, I think, you know, personal feuds that people like
when they, when they're having when that data gets so heated,
right, you're not started tearing the person down. Right? So then
when you do that the people who look up to you will do that, too.
So it's a culture now of just tear down any item tear down, anybody
who's I saw, I saw that last week with six items on booty, right?
And he has some statements that really hurt the people and
positions that people perceived it to be. And of course, I know that
many people are going to be upset with that even the word perceived.
But I'm just going to say it that way. Because that's objective
fact. I can't say he intended to hurt any Muslim, but you were
injured by the statement. They felt like he's supporting the
necessities not even Muslim. And they're up against the Muslims.
And I can understand that it's understandable. Obviously. Not
that my opinion on that matters. But
I understand where their perspective is. But am I now going
to
all his past work, we're going to discard it all. We're not going to
have any room for the idea that he had a good intention for this and
was maybe perceived incorrectly, we're going to just take a clip
and not look at what the whole clip was about just that one
selection.
And try to have a bad and
I don't think that's the right way to do things. Just factually.
You give someone the benefit of the doubt you don't like what they
say, say disagree with it with what they're saying. Right? Rather
than now smearing them with curses,
saying I hope he's in the Hellfire with his new CD allies, like words
like that.
To be held accountable
for
what you
guys are teaching, that's the problem. I'm telling you, that's
the problem. He said he asked the question, How could God manage to
be held accountable, I'm telling you.
That is the issue because I'm telling you that most Imams, they
don't know each other. They want to be polite with each other. They
want to give it the benefit of the doubt. They don't want to cause
fitna. So now what has emerged is a class of people are saying,
okay, hey, listen, I'm not guiding anybody. I'm not producing content
for your religious guidance. So I don't have to be nice. I'm not
trying to attract anybody. I'm just going to purify this stuff.
And that's what's happening politically in the Arab world. All
those scholars who supported who were who did not support the
revolution, or who not that that they didn't support the
revolution, but they did support the regimes
you should see what's been said about them
the worst possible things, right?
Because generally speaking, it's not going to be the Imams will be
very polite, I'm telling you
call them up. Hey, I just wanted to ask you about your position
here. And, you know, some people are asking me, I want to hear from
you. It's gonna be a very polite conversation, it's not probably
maybe not going to be very effective. That's the truth. Don't
be very polite. Okay, by Michelle, you have your ideas, you have your
proofs. You know, I personally may differ with that, but you do a lot
of other good work.
That's how the call is gonna go.
In most cases, be very polite, at the benefit of the doubt, listen
to what the other person says. If it's and also scholars yet I could
fathom that. That's a position. There's nothing explicitly
forbidden here. I can fathom that. This is a position that's valid.
And I can't
tell you that it's explicitly haram, what you're doing.
So when that ends up happening, another class rises. I say, Okay,
we're not content providers. We're not trying to guide the people. We
don't teach Dean. So we don't have to be good examples will be
effective, though. And we'll make this person change. Do we want
that to happen? Well, that's what happened whether we like it or
not.
Are people isn't working? is one thing is that the right way to do
things is another question. When I study with Sheikh Mohammed Mahmoud
should be emphasized this a lot. The emphasize what works is not
always what is right. And in a sense of what is not always a
justification for being right. It may be effective, that doesn't
make it the correct course of action. But some people will say,
well, it's dire need, we're doing it.
My My ways may be wrong, but it's, well, no one else is doing
anything about it. Right.
I'm just describing the reality of things.
Are Yan Khan?
And many stars asking question, it says here is always under the
impression that shakes kept in contact now and again, to keep
each other in check when needed. I'll tell you that that works. In
certain groups, in small groups of friends, right?
My friends can contact me and do contact me all my friends, right?
Hmm. I may may be insulated with a friend group that
that doesn't do that. Right. But I can tell you, for example, I have
friends who will contact me if they hear something that was
incorrect, or transmission of knowledge that was incorrect,
they'll just say, and it will be fixed. Not everyone has that has
that. But for an absolute stranger, Imam from that I've
never met before to contact me and say that I want to recommend that
you did this, that or recommend you relook at this. That never
happened. I've never did it to anyone, nor did anyone do it to
me, if I see someone doing something wrong online, my method
of dealing with it is not to confront them, but is to speak in
general terms about what it's correct.
In that sense, in the sight of Allah, I've done my the, at least
the baseline duty, it's not an obligation for me necessarily, to
call him on the phone and correct them and make sure that he stops
now, in public as he's in public. I'm also in public, and I'm saying
the opposite thing that I believe is correct. colorless, I've done
my that is falls under the rubric of I'm gonna model for Nahan
mocha. Right. But for me to go to that person, and make sure he
stops and feels the pain, because pain is what makes people stop.
That's not my duty, nor maybe is it correct for me to do. But
because that's the case, other people are looking on and they're
saying, Okay,
you're not doing it. I'll do it.
And I'm not any member of a mosque. I don't have people who
look up to me, so I don't have to be nice. So that's the reality of
what happened.
And when they're doing that,
you know, the honesty and looking at the whole picture. Was it
there? That's oftentimes a critique of the critics by you.
Did you look at the whole person? Right 95% Of what he's doing is
good he made 5% of a mistake. No, no, there see we lost it
not enough people commander writing forbid wrong then there's
going to come a people that are going to come who are not going to
do it there I fall in your rulebook anymore. Your rule book
of being nice and your rule book of
benefit of the doubt your rule book of all that's out the window
now. I'm not saying that this is the correct way of gun to
describing the reality of things. That's what happened. Right? Oh,
your way of a dub your way of all this? Well, guess what? It wasn't
effective. Push that to the side. I'm gonna do it my way. Bleach.
Acid. Good. No, I'm not I'm not going to just try to get the wound
the whole person's got an acid, right.
Should we avoid debate with non Muslims? I personally do not like
debating my debate which avadh was just meant to be a talk. That's
how it was presented to me first, it developed into a debate on an
object. So I did accept that one. But I think that's an exception. I
don't see myself doing a lot of this. argumentation is not really
good
way of doing things.
Not good for the heart. A lot of times it also doesn't get to the
point doesn't get to the point either. You
know,
no one's no one's having a debate. That's actual chess match. They
they're slugfest, right? But they're the debate is good for
somebody who believes what you believe, but doesn't know why. All
right, doesn't know doesn't know how to articulate the defense of
it. That's the value of debate. So I can't say it's all bad, but I
unnecessarily don't imagine myself do
Getting into this set a man as I think there's a lack of
accountability in general.
All right.
Yeah, people don't want to be in awkward situations. Right. So
as I said before, my method of forbidding wrong is that if a
colleague says something that's not right,
I'm gonna go on to the public platform and say, what is correct,
right?
But it's not what it's not in my other, neither my obligated. Nor
is it my nature to go up to him and correct him. If someone else
wants to do that, and they don't feel that, that's, that's for
them. But people do see what I say in public. That should be enough,
right? You saw what I'm saying. And it's work by the way, within
our local area. Nobody tries to bring nonsense into the masjid
people know what we stand for. Right? They don't bring that stuff
in the message. They know what I've said publicly. Then when I
see them in social gatherings, or in other, you know, community
events, I just, you know, have cordial relations with them. But
they know what I believe. So they do know that we should stop but
when it comes to this group, this community I should say, we're not
a group were a big community. Right? They don't believe in this
stuff. They don't believe in this because
their guy, their Imam, he doesn't believe in this stuff. And they
are with him. Right? So they know that so it did work in a sense,
but it didn't stop them. It didn't I didn't inflict pain enough to
stop them.
Right so they just will they just won't do it with us.
Trade.
Next question, are we is it what time is it 327 All right, folks,
we got to stop here.
We got to stop here. Subhanak Allahu mobilehome. Deke, shed
Illa. illa Anta nests of Fukuoka tubal ache. And we will pick up
tomorrow we will have Wednesday day of dua between Dora and us.
And we will have
a current affairs which we already just touched on some current
affairs of Muslims. And I definitely think that was worthy.
It's on everyone's tongue. We can't pretend like no one's
talking about it. And so we do need to give a little perspective
which I gave, I gave a summary perspective of why why I think
this stuff is happening.
With the attacks on humans, what the Imams could have done, we all
should be doing. Well, it's a kind of Illa de nada, Mouffetard,
Masako, menar don't soften up to those who are living outside the
bounds of Islam publicly, or else some of that will come back to
you. Okay, justified or unjustified. And we talked about
different methods of forbidding wrong. And we ask Allah subhanaw
taala
to guide us all because there are a lot of people going to come into
Islam. And it needs to be the house needs to be set in order to
receive many, many converts in the future. I think that's where we're
going in the future. So many people are entering a slump, just
saw a photograph of a whole family of seven in Germany entered a
slump. So keep that in mind. And insha Allah Tada Allah, may Allah
use us
to be supporters of these guests. And now new members of our OMA
