Smilla Rahmanir Rahim Al hamdu lillah wa Salatu was Salam ala
Rasulillah who Allah early he was happy woman who Allah. Welcome
everybody to the Safina society. Nothing but facts live stream on a
beautiful, gorgeous, warm, slightly humid, Monday morning, or
Monday afternoon
here in the great state of New Jersey and I'm
joined here by California on my left, Dallas and soon to be
Chicago on my right. And of course all my besties behind the
terminal. Today, leading our production, Dave Chappelle sends a
terrifying warning to ice cube after he exposes Hollywood. Okay,
I want to hear it. But it's too long. It's eight minutes long,
right? Because you know, Hollywood.
They did a number on Dave Chappelle. And he got booted for
10 years until people changed and stuff then they let him back in.
Right. So and also other comedians, Wayne's so they needed
some juice, and he got himself his Netflix, and he's on tour and he's
back into things and everything. So
he's a monster. It's the same monster that needs me to tell you.
All right, here we go. So Dave Chappelle What do you guys opinion
a Dave Chappelle? I see the real deal or as he was
talking about how he you know, he wants to hedge. He's a Muslim,
right? He's a Muslim. Yeah, yeah, he was. He made a whole video
about it. It was actually pretty nice to see some good stuff. Yeah.
Making some good points. But it's funny because we had Owen Benjamin
on. Yeah. And I was just kind of looking into like Owen Benjamin,
who he is and yeah, because that's curious, apparently is like,
pretty famous. Yeah. And apparently like Kanye West or
whatever, or whatever. He made a joke that are not a joke, but he's
saying Dave Chappelle is a copy of Owen Benjamin like he stole all
his jokes from Oh, and I heard that a lot too before and there
was a time where on Benjamin was on some podcasts, and he's like
this, this this this this listing, all these chokes that Chappelle
ripped him off?
Yeah,
some podcasts. Alright, ladies and gentlemen.
Let us turn today as it is Monday to this great book, called as she
felt by an imam cada Yeldon called the yard was not first known.
For his she felt he was first known for his shorthand Muslim and
Imam nawawi when he writes his shot Han Muslim his first go to is
the Shiva is called the yard shot ha Muslim all over shot Muslim
outside the rules of or the Hadith of FIP right the hadith of AQ M
because that's going to be Sheffy only right? But even then,
regarding the medicine of the Hadith the wording of the Hadith
the first go to of Imam and no op is going to be called there you
open up the shot of no we on Muslim, open up to any random page
and you will find what call I'll call the
all over the book McConnell called the Pokhara kadhi WakaWaka Why
don't Alma open up shamatha and do it do us for us as an experiment
just open to a random page start hosting go to CES up I had Mexico
go to the first one No No Forget it just you don't need that you
don't need that go to to self fund maktabah Now the first little
brown box there no not that one.
Yeah, the down down down
No, no, go back. Go back. You see the brown squares at the middle
yet go to the first one the first one go to that now go to shutter
shutter hella Hadith or should we had to had Surah Al Hadith now
Gautam no we should have Muslim go down keep going down until you see
it right
just keep digging until you find them ever no we
there is that it? No that's not it. Keep going to find no we
keep going no yeah, gotcha there is that it? No.
Keep going
Keep going
Keep going John. A waiver is that it?
Go up almost click
No because no no. We came later seven hundreds. Yeah, it's by
date.
Gone
Okay, they're shorter Muslim. Yeah, sure. Hanoi, go to a random
Fussell go to a random beb
go
Like anything, go random. Now keep reading. And tell me if you see
something that says what color car the alcohol the is called the
Ionic. So if you remember knowing the great Muhaddith, the great
scholar, the scholar who he can really become his heritage is like
a fifth. He's like a fifth Imam. That's how massive his heritage is
in op ed, in Hadith. In every subject, boom, he found it, see
what God will call the era him Allah. Okay. See? And what line is
that of the of what you clicked? It's not even the fifth line.
Right? Like the second paragraph, fifth line down. So Imam nawawi
goes back to called the yard on everything. Are there others from
Marrakech Imam and no, he's from Damascus. Anytime that scholar
from the west is respected by the east, you know, he has a lot of
weight. Because the East tend to be self sufficient with
themselves. They don't rely on anyone from the West, they never
needed to right. The West however, always is relying on they always
like look up to the to the east, you always find Eastern migration.
You rarely find Western migration. Now, speaking of migration, a lot
of guys from Egypt, from Syria, they from Lebanon, they actually
have Moroccan origins. Now, why is that? That is because when the
Ottomans came in,
and there were a lot of port cities, they wanted to get
loyalists, people who owe their loyalty to them to settle there
and, and populate it with Muslims.
So that they there.
Other groups don't come in and populate it. So they actually went
out
gave incentivize people to move east.
And that's why you have mass migrations, from Morocco, to
Egypt, and even a jazz and sham Syria. Most Syrians if they go
back to their lineage, they'll find it'll be Moroccan Lebanese to
a lot of Egyptians too. And that's one of the reasons is because the
Ottomans themselves were officially like making this move
happen. Right and
supporting it. So what we have here is the shifa of alcohol in
the English language, of course, it's always better to read in
Arabic but but it's not with us it's probably downstairs but
that's okay. We'll suffice ourselves with the English here
and cut
let's look at what chapter here that I find that people may have
we show that we need to read from
okay, what huh?
Oh, big difference between a call the enemy of the very good
question. The kadhi actually has executive power. The most the
body's ruling
is the difference between it is it is must be acted upon. He is a
government appointee. He's appointed by the king or the
Sorbonne or the Khalifa. And l Kava is Siffert on hook me attune
to Djibouti and fever maktabah. So the judgment is, it's an
attribute. It's a legal quality or attribute of a ruling, a shadow a
ruling that must be acted upon high less severe to 10 feet or
something like that, that must be acted upon, whereas a fatwa
is a legal ruling that is not binding. So if a cul de sac,
that's one of the problems that things with tech field in the
Maliki school, and you can ask, because we've heard about this and
others, is that to say that someone is a Kaffir is not just
the work of kadhi.
But it's the kadhi is the only one who can act upon it.
In other words, issue a ruling that so and so's marriage is
nullified so and so is to be imprisoned, and so and so as to be
you know, for this heresy for this cool free statement, and they will
to be to be asked about it and is to tab is to be is to tab it means
that you're going to ask this person to make Toba for some
number of days bring a shift to talk to him. And then afterwards,
there's his own consequences after that. And then if there are more
Ted openly left off their religion, then they're deleted
from the public record all their wealth is immediately assumed by
the state. Their marriage is immediate.
be nullified. So the kadhi is the one who will do all that.
A Mufti?
It's he's not an official at all.
He's not an official. He could be there. Of course there are movies
that just answer questions. And they are appointed by states to,
but also a regular person could become a Mufti. And it fatwah, we
divided up into two categories, which is just is Stifter. Right,
which is just a q&a, like, what do I have to do between my toes and
we'll do just a q&a. There's no fat whether it's just basic FIP so
that type of person can rely upon reliable books or get educated
from a chef then give the federal by that but the
Mufti and NAS Zilla, that is the one who takes a brand new issue
and then goes into the meth lab looks at what has been already
been makes analogy about missa l questions that are inside the
method.
Right.
And then answers the question and then that's it. That's the federal
he writes it down. He issues it his peers look at it and they may
agree or disagree, right? So that is the Mufti finesse Zilla. And
that is really the end goal that we want that students should be. I
mean, if someone has a half of an A Mufti fitna Zilla What else do
you want really think about that? Half of Quran motif in Newcastle
and then sometimes they say has Khilafah in in rhetoric. He can
guide people spiritually to what else do you want from them?
Probably shift Estrada, she does close to that all three
although his specialty is updated more than 50 but I wouldn't be
surprised at all if he has a Jezza to give fatawa in in matters.
And for the Medicare probably shikigami comes closest to that
for the Medicare
for the Shafia who in the Shafi school
Oh
you have no color chip nor color. Yeah, but in the US
or the England
when a lot of Shafi Scott was in
right maybe Sheikh Osama Sal here he's very active in North Jersey
not really known on the internet but on a national level but shit
he's he's a massive scholar 10 years
how let's go to the prophets knowledge of the Unseen and future
events page 186. Now, by the way, there are some people that are
going to disagree with Cloud Ayyad. Here.
I'm telling you,
some people from
the Bravia, they may disagree, but listen, I'm reading your cadeia
I'm not given a photographer myself. If you don't like it, you
disagree with Claudia you can
address his book and write your own critique. But as for us, we
transmit the shifa what's in it, we transmit it as this shook.
Mohamed Jacobi is the first one to that I sat in his lessons of the
Shiva have called the yard. And he taught us sections from it, not
the whole thing. Right.
And he encouraged in general, the reading of it. See people
sometimes they worry about reading from books. That's not the case.
The case is which books and did you understand properly? So like,
as I said earlier, if someone is going to give
is to answer questions, regular fit questions from a book, you can
do that. As long as you got the right book, and you understood the
words. That's the problem, right? So some a lot of to love enum,
they don't have time to study the whole book with the chef, let's
study portions of it. You get the you get the idea. And you have an
established connection with the shift. So if you have a question
you ask, but otherwise, you can continue reading the book. And
that's for example, what happened with me the daughter Fetzer class
has heavy armor and the book have to sew with by a colada to sew up
from see the amazulu. Right? So he assesses if you generally know the
content, and have the ability to have the connection to ask when
you don't know, have the readiness to ask. Right and are in constant
communication with folks who are older than you. And then you get
the given permission to teach it. That's how it generally works is
so many books, there's so long, and it's very rare that someone
will create a complete book with
section 24 of the prophets knowledge of the Unseen and future
events. The hadith on this subject are like a vast ocean whose depth
cannot be plumbed. I was at Nazies overflow. This is one aspect of
his mirror
cause which is definitely known, we have many Hadith, which have
reached us by multiple paths of transmission regarding his
familiarity with the unseen, who they fundamentally amounts at the
messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi wa sallam gave us
an address in which he did not leave anything that would happen
until the last hour came. Now I have a question.
How would the questioner know
that the Prophet didn't leave something out? Just from a logical
perspective, right.
So I think that's an expression, right? Because you need to know
as much or more than the speaker to know that he left something or
didn't leave something. Right. So I think it's an expression. Yeah,
the Metallica che and as if he's told us everything, but you cannot
make that assessment. Unless you know everything, right. So
it's not haram for us to use our brains when we read these things.
It's no disrespect to us a hobby. And we're not just rejecting
words, just understanding it properly. It's an expression,
because it's impossible to know that someone who is looking at
something that you don't see hasn't left anything out.
It's not possible.
He then says, Whoever remembered it remembered it, whoever forgot
it, forgot it.
Many companions of mine have known it, when, when any of it came to
pass, I would recognize it and remember it, as a man remembers
the face of someone who hadn't seen in a long time.
Then who they first said, I do not know whether my companions may
have forgotten or pretended to forget the mess but the messengers
of Allah who it was seven did not leave out the instigator of a
single disaster that was going to happen until the end of the world.
There were more than 300 and he named them for us, each with his
own name, the name of his father and the name of his tribe. Okay.
Well, other than said when the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam left us there was not a bird that flies in the sky, but
that he had given us some knowledge about it.
The compilers
of the Sahara
and the Imams have related what He taught his companions and family
about regarding His promises to them a victory over his enemies
conquest of Mecca conquest of Jerusalem conquest of Yemen
conquest of Syria, conquest of Iraq
and the establishment of security so that a woman would go from
Herat to Iraq, not fearing anything but Allah. He said that
Medina would be raided, and Claiborne will be conquered by Ali
the next day. He foretold those parts of the world that Allah was
going to open up to his community, and what they would be given of
its flowers and fruits, such as the treasures of the codes rose,
which is the Persian and the Caesar of Byzantium.
He told us about what would happen among them with regard to
sedition, disputation, sectarianism, acting as those
before them had done splitting into sects, only one of which
would be 73 sects, only one would be saved, that they would spread
out in the earth, that people would come, who wouldn't wear one
fine garment in the morning and another in the evening, and dish
after dish we placed before them, they would embellish their houses
as the cabinet is embellished. And he said at the end of the Hadith,
today, you are better than you will be on that day
where people don't like to be constructed. Right, they don't
like to be constricted, and they like vastness of things. And they
like the beauty of things and Subhan Allah back in their time,
saying that the basically this saying here that the concept of
having a garment of the day and a garment of the night,
it's to them excess, somehow, today, we have a garment for the
for the day, a garment for the house, a garment to go out of the
house, a garment if you're going to the masjid versus work. If
you're going to play sports, you wear another set of clothes, you
come home, you take a shower after that you put back your house
clothes on before you sleep you put certain clothes on winter
sleeping you summer sleeping, have different clothes, different
sheets. It's like everything is segmented like that.
So excess though is deemed relative to the pious Muslims of
your time and place none of what I say will be deemed access by
regular pious Muslim today. The constant UK went with a Bluth old
like that to work and wear the same garment to the gym. Now
you're going to be laughed at in society, right?
And we'd be the first people to say what's with you, guy? You
misunderstood this but he's just so this is a description. They
wear a garment in the morning and one
The evening relative to them the Sahaba This is excess. Excess is
always deemed relative to the righteous most of your time, not
from people of the past. Okay? He said that they would strike out on
the earth and the girls a person Byzantium would serve them, Allah
would withdraw their strength from them, they would lose their
strength, they would become so soft, and the evil ones would
overcome the good ones.
This excess is no good. They would fight the Turks. And the Khazars
and Byzantium, Costa rose and Persia would be obliterated.
There'll be no closers that are present afterwards, Caesar would
pass away, then there would be no Caesar after them. And that's
true. These are true prophecies like how would the prophets I send
them what would make him know, on a salatu salam that once the this
the Persian Empire collapses, it will never come back. Likewise,
the Byzantine Empire once it collapses, it would never come
back. That's, that's a prophecy and it came to pass. That's true.
There hasn't been a Byzantine Empire, or a Persian Empire since
then.
Got
the noblest and best of people would be taken away when the time
grew near knowledge would be taken when sedition and bloodshed would
appear. Alas for the Arabs for an evil that draws near.
Wait on a lot of even shorter than conducta. Okay, and Arabs here
means Muslims, because at the time, the only Muslims with Arabs,
like the symbol of Arabs and Muslims were the same people. So
that's why, at that time, when the Prophet said this way, and a lot
of men children,
meaning Muslims, and use the word Arabs, because that is their
description at the time, Muslims are Arabs only. And also it runs.
The earth was rolled up for him so that he could see its eastern and
western extremities and the dominion of his community was to
reach what was rolled up for him. That is why it has extended from
east to west, okay, from
from the Indies in the east, to the sea of Tangier in the West,
okay, beyond which there is no known civilization, because at the
time of his writing, it's true that there is no known
civilization at the time, it's amazing concepts of why is it that
civilization spread in Asia before its spread in the Americas. And
according to this theory, which I find it to be a good theory, it
makes sense to me, who knows if it's right, and we'll never know,
he says that the continent of Asia is, is generally goes east to
west, and the continent of the Americas is generally north to
south and the north to south climate is radically different
throughout. So Canada is radically different from from Florida, which
is radically different, again, the seasons are flipped in South
America. Okay. And so whereas if you go to, let's say, Europe,
Africa, and Asia, like the bottom of Europe, the top of Africa and
all of Asia,
they tend to be horizontal, and horizontal that results in a
similar climate. So that means that if I'm a farmer, I farm corn,
let's say, I could farm the same thing all across, I don't have to
learn new crops, so I can get better at farming corn, even if I
have to move, right? And I can, and the economies becomes one in
the same, right. So whereas in the north to the south,
right continent, which is north to south, it's gonna develop slower
because if I ever have to move from from from Canada down to
Florida, I got to learn a whole new set of crops, right. So the
results of that crop development and stability of foods supply
developed much slower in the north south doesn't less predictability,
far more predictability in Asia, and hence, compound that century
after century. And the Asian, the Southern Europe, North Africa and
Asia, that part of the world will be over time lightyears ahead,
after a long period of time, like 1000 years, they'll be way ahead.
And that's a theory. So who knows if it's true or not, but I liked
the theory. I liked a theory that gives, like simple explanations,
because because if someone came with a theory is that oh, no,
because they had King such and such. No, that's too specific. You
can't have a theory that goes across 1000s of years, except that
it has to be something
major, like the shape of the continent, right. And it could be
something that you can't, wouldn't be able to really discern it right
away. But
the compounding of year after year of this century after century,
season after season, that's going to result in a bigger difference.
That's more plausible to me. Right. So why
As it some people succeed are far more successful than others
sometimes the reason is that
all right, some Sometimes the reason is simply that
you wake up half hour earlier right your body just needs 30
minutes less sleep or your have the habit of waking up just half
hour earlier than everyone else but compound compound that over
five years over 10 years you're achieving a lot more, right?
Dean Addy telling us that we're shadowbanned Is that true? Can you
go into YouTube and tell us if you can find our or live stream?
I don't know people tell me this all the time.
Of course they don't like Owen Benjamin that's probably what we
got shot. But they don't like me either. So
from before,
maybe we should go on rumble.
The earth was rolled up the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam see could see all of the civilizations or the lands that
would enter his dominion. And that was not given to any other
prophet.
Okay? Islam did not extend to the north and the south in the same
way rather it extended east and west more than north and south
which is true. Didn't go up to Scandinavia did not go to South
parts of Africa or even the central parts of Africa generally
went see that's exactly the point think about this. You have these
Arabs right?
They're going to go to the travel to the climates they're accustomed
to going west no problem go east no problem. But go north to
Scandinavia, you're gonna hit a limit point. I don't know how to
live in this climate. Right? You're gonna go south Oh is way is
not a friendly climate down south either. Right deep into the heart
of Africa.
It's a tough climate for them to be in. So traveling east and west,
around the same line of latitude. It's easier for people than to go
up and down.
Where the climate changes radically.
The people of the West will know the truth until the hour comes
said the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam narrowed in Sahih Muslim
and it tends to be considered the advocate of the Arabs of the West
Africa. In Medina, he believed that this refers to the Arabs
because they are distinguished by drinking from a certain kind of
leather bucket of water. And hence that he meant that but that is
that's that's not strong.
But others he says believed it refers to the people of the masjid
if that's what makes sense because the Arabs are not the only people
who who's to drink from a leather skin. Every everyone in the world
drank from a leather skin, you took the leather you made it in a
certain way or you took the stomach of the animal and you and
they purified it in a certain way and used it as a jug to end hang
their water from it's called the water skin. Anyone who's watched a
western movie knows this right?
In a Hadith from Abu Amanda the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam said a group of Mike from my community will remain constant
to the truth conquering their enemy until the Command of Allah
comes to them while they are still in that condition. Where are they
or messenger of Allah? In Jerusalem? Okay, so the people of
coats have a Hosea here. And there are special for this. So why is
that? Something special, and that's something special because
it implies that there will be a time we're speaking about the
truth will be extremely difficult.
Speaking the truth in public,
as it is now and speak the truth in public, you get shadow banned
well, by Shediac getting shadow banned is not a hardship. Right.
Hardship means you can get killed, you can get jailed, even
threatened to go to jail, lose your job, those are hardships and
that's what they face in Kazaa. And to be honest with you, people
always talk about America that devil and stuff. No, America has
spread filth, *, and this disgusting culture throughout
the world. That's true. But overall, I don't think in the end
of times the hardship will particularly be the physical
Archer will particularly be here. I actually think that as time as
the years pass the United States, the United States will not be the
center of attention as much as it was before. Right. And that
actually may end up becoming a good thing for us. Who knows. But
I think that Muslims will find a lot more ability to practice their
Deen here and in the UK than places like Spain, France, China,
right. And the Arab countries to even the whole country says shut
you down completely. They could never have anything like this in
their countries, you know that you couldn't do it. You'd be shut down
real fast.
It's insane that you'll be able to
In Kansas, you have more freedom than in Cairo.
Crazy patola
next Hadith
He foretold the kingdom of the nomads and the rule of Mongolia
and counseled him and said that the nomads would make the kingdom
of Allah a dynasty. He said that the descendants of Abbas would
emerge with black banners and would rule a far larger area than
they now ruled.
He said that it no source he didn't give a source for that. The
MADI would appear and told about what the original beta people of
his house would experience and about their slaughter in exile.
He foretold the murder of Ali and said that the most wretched of
people would be his killer, and that it would be and that and that
Holly would be the upper portion of the fire his friends would
enter the Garden and his enemies the fire so he is a fossil among
those who would oppose him or the cottage cottage and then Elsevier
and a group who claimed to follow him among the Rafah these would
reject him.
Okay. The caragea The Heritage rates are those who went out
against Sade Nadi and the NA Seabees are those who hate Ali and
Al Bates
and the Rafa These are those who hurt the companions. So from say,
naughty, you ended up he is because he is a shining light,
pure light.
Meaning that from him, there's no ego, pure light, of course, no,
don't take that out of context and say that he's not a human. Now
we're saying his budget but we saying his guidance is pure is no
one's going to say there's an issue with say not His guidance,
how to in the prophesy. centum said said naughty is abuk O'Malley
the best judge of things is it a commodity is the prophesy centum
said this when he says something and when the way he lives is pure
guidance. So from him.
The reactions to him are either pure guidance if you follow Him,
you're on pure guidance.
If you go against him,
this is what the
CO editor and the haters of the NALSA BS Nasai means a hater of
Alan Bates. And then you have the opposite the Rafferty's you love
him too much now you miss understood his message and you
hate the Sahaba now when he never hated the sob right when he has a
son name or why would he name his son Omar? Okay. And yes sir name
Abu Bakr
and ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada joined between the lineage of Alma and
the lineage of segnale in the grading of Java, the sun in the
Java please related to our bucket in two different ways. This is why
He said I'm about to give birth to me twice. Okay, in two ways he's
related to a book. Okay. So and from the father's lines from Satan
are saying
in the draft Assad. So Satan ally therefore is like a fought fought
something about him. It just divides up those who are guided
from the misguided whereas not every other Sahabi did this not
other Sahaba did not have this quality, right.
How you react to say naughty he go to accesses regarding him, or you
stay sick with him. That's why he says he's the upper portion of the
fire. Meaning that
when you are around that when the people gather on say naughty, they
immediately go to their extremes that are inside their hearts.
That's what it means. It's like the magnetism is so strong, that
you will either be repelled to one accessor or the other or you'll
stick with him and your guidance will be perfect. after that.
The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said Othman will be killed
while reciting the Quran. And Perhaps Allah will have him
wearing a shirt.
They want they will want to remove it and his blood will fall on the
words of Allah. Fess a Kiko Mala, from the Quran verses to 137 Okay,
this is where Bukhari and Muslim
he said that sedition would not appear as long as almost as alive,
as zubaid would fight against IE.
The Dogs of Hawa, who would bark at one of his wives, and many
would be killed around her, and she would barely escape. They
barked at Aisha when she went to bussola meaning the cottage wanted
to
take her as a prisoner or they want to take her as a prisoner of
war.
How are you going to explain that in your Cydia right there their
version of their Cydia
all model is as Sade Natalie is, like the portion of the ALMA is
the door between fitna. Okay,
and
how they fittingly a man said,
there is a door between our OMA and fitna.
And it almost asks,
Will that door be opened? So that it may be closed again? Or will it
be broken so that we may never we'll never close again? He said,
No, it will be broken. And that's when say no, no, he'd be killed.
If he had just died, then there could be someone that comes just
like him. Right? That will establish it. Because the analogy
is that analogy of a door. If you close it naturally, you can open
it. If it's open naturally, you can close it naturally. But if you
break it down, it'll never close again. Right so that by that
analogy, Omata knew he knew that he was the door between the fitna
and the OMA and that by saying it's going to be broken down he's
going to be killed.
He said about Guzman Amona effect he will be tested together with
the Muslims although he is one of the people of the fire and later
because man was in a difficult situation he committed suicide he
wasn't enough he said about a group which included Abu Hurayrah
some would have been Joondalup and her Deva he said the last of you
will die in a fire okay, they kept asking about each other to see who
which one of them died first. Who they for died.
Then it will Hooray to died and somebody who was the last one
to be alive, so he knew he would die in a fire. Okay.
And yet an hour he he tried to warm himself over a fire one day,
but see, this is out of the Mercy is that he became old and senile.
Right, and this senile, they don't have the same when he became
senile, He lit a fire to warm himself and he fell into it.
Right? But sometimes when people have a senility, they may not have
the same feelings about things. Right? So that's a Mercy of Allah
for him. Because if you know that you're gonna die in a fire. That's
not a nice thing. Right? But what so what are the Prophet said he
said it for the his relatives, right? So this is something
preordained? So he'll tell you the bad thing that's been ordained for
you so you don't have to be so scared of it. Right? It's
something Allah has decreed this and that's it. You know, we know
everything's decreed, right? But when you hear it from the prophets
of Allah, it was Sunday May we receive it from him Oh, cassava.
It gives you some kind of Portsmouth Nina that
inshallah is going to be good, right at the end of it will be
good, it may be painful, but the end result will be good.
It was one person one time we received them with cassava that
something bad would happen. He became so scared ask Allah to push
it away, push it away, push it away, push it away. You forgot
about it. Then later on, he was shown that the replacement of that
thing was far better.
And then he didn't mind it anymore. So he stopped making
dropped for it to be pushed away. Right so
he said about handler.
Handle Of course, the one of us will Malaika right. The the one
the melodica washed him.
He asked his wife about him. I saw the angels washing him. Okay. The
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said
so they asked her, Why would the angels why would the prophecy the
angels washing him? She said we had just married he left in Geneva
to the jihad before he can do us.
He said that's why we saw the Intels washing him. That's from
m&s hawk. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said alquila For
few Quraysh Okay, the business this this will remain with grace.
As long they as that as they establish the deen
there will be a liar and a destroyer from thief. This is from
Muslim and Makati. And many people think that it refers to whom
I judge ibn Yusuf, of course, he said that musei lemma would be
destroyed by Allah and the faults and will be the first of his
family to follow him to the grave. Both of them were true. He warned
about that he dug up and said the that the
caliphate after him would last for 30 years, and that it would be
then become monarchy. And this is exactly what happened. Okay, right
after the time of Huseynov Nadia went to Mongolia and he announced
that it's now a monarchy, meaning that he meant by it. It's not safe
to do things the way in which we trust the home anymore. So the
history of the OMA is just the philosopher's described like this,
the time of Abu Bakar and Alma and half, half the time of Othman. The
rulers were pious, and the bulk of the people were pious
from the sixth year after the sixth year of sage Northminster
I'm all through, say naughty Seim through saying the lessons time,
the rulers were pious, but the people had become mixed up and
many Sahaba died. So the people could no longer be described as
pious.
And then after that, the rulers and the people were unknown,
right? It could be
could go either way.
But setting them all we realize that Raja La Jolla anhu, that we
the people are no longer trustworthy. So we can't rule the
old ways. In the old way, we have to rule in the new way, where
there's distrust of the people. So we have to have locks, we have to
have secretaries. We have to have guards everywhere, so on and so
forth like that.
Where's Chuck muddy?
So you're in communication with them?
Okay, very good. Very good.
Any chance you can get
images of his books that we're going to talk about?
He told them the existence of ways of gluttony and that there would
be Amir's, who would delay the prayer beyond its time.
He said that the business this affair began as prophethood and
mercy, then mercy and Khilafah, then strong monarchy, then
arrogant tyranny and corruption, so that there are three phases,
profit, the era of prophethood and mercy and purity, then strong
monarchies strong kings, who cared about the country who loved their
country and respected their deen and had order, yes, sometimes they
could, you can get a corrupt kink. But even the corrupt King cares
for his country, make sure everything's clean up bright cares
for the land,
then this will pass away and you will get Jibba but an absolute,
just people from the streets, ruling the country for themselves
not caring at all, for the sake of the country. And you see this not
so long ago. So
some of the old grandfather's may have childhood memories of the era
of,
of a good era in in Muslim countries where
there was like monarchy, they cared about the country, right?
Things like that.
And you fast forward. And these generals, who were selling
watermelons and selling chickens, have become socialists take over
took over the country. Right. And all of a sudden, now you have a
dump of a land. There was a time seriously it education. They used
to tell me at least education in Egypt. It's far superior to
education in many other countries right. Now, you cannot imagine
anything to be superior in Egypt. Right? What? The pollution maybe
that's it the negative things only.
So even there was a time that the model l dude. Yes, he's a king.
Yes, he's selfish. Yes, it's self serving, but in their self serving
in a way that actually benefits others to overall, right, they
care for the land, they care for the country.
But then you have the Jabara.
They're essentially bums. And they just, they're stealing for
themselves. And you're so stupid that you're you Don't you realize
that you live in a country? Like what did you want the country to
be clean? And I see these evil Nice, oh, they steal the money for
themselves and stuff like that. And they don't, but if I was a
king, and I was selfish, don't I still have to drive through the
country? Right?
They just fly out and they never see the land.
Okay, here's another question for you. All right. So you're the king
of some third world country, you're the dictator. Don't you
have people coming into your country? Who are looking and
examining stuff and making comments and the world is seeing
your country? Don't you care about that? What didn't you care
that
people come into your country and what they say about it and the
comments they make about it and what the ambassador is saying,
well, when another president comes into the country, you can't put
blinders he's going to drive in the roads, right? Huh?
What?
Yeah.
Oh my gosh, they put blinders unbelievable.
Make new roads. So that's why these are Jabara. They're, they're
arrogant, tyrannical fools. They're not even competent.
tyrants. They're like incompetent tyrants.
Their countries are terrible. They
their their countries are in ruins and they're stealing people's
money. Okay?
I don't even think they're stealing the people's money.
They're stealing the aid that they get from these Arab countries,
right?
These I mean from the Western countries.
Okay. In one Hadith the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said
there will be 30 deceiving liars in his community. Four of them
would be women.
Another Hadith says 30. Liars, one will be the dead jet.
They will all deny Allah and His messenger.
He said, The time is near when there will be a lot of non Arabs
amongst you, who will consume your property and strike your necks the
last hour will not come until a man from Katan derives the people
drives the people to their destination with his staff.
He also said the best of you are my generation, then those after
them, then those after them after that people will come, who give
testimony without being asked to do so, who will be treacherous and
not trustworthy, who promise and do not fulfill there will be
excessive Corpulence amongst meaning weight gain.
I mean, nothing is good about you and you indulge in the dunya.
Physically you eat so much. He said a time is only followed by
one that is worse than it mean to every community on the aggregate
of regeneration
on the aggregate will be less than the one before it and more than
the one better than the one after it on the aggregate. Which doesn't
mean that you'll have a downward line like this. You have spikes.
And those spikes are touch deeds, little teddy deeds. And there are
exceptions. So you may have a community in general is going down
but a locality within that could be an exception.
Right or a whole locality is going down but a family within that is
an exception or a whole family going down and an individual in
that who is an exception.
My community last one before we go to our interview today. He also
said my community will be destroyed at the hands of young
men from Quraysh.
In one version of Herrera says if I had wanted to I could name them
for you the venue so and so in the venue so and so let's put a marker
here
and
use this as a bookmark.
All right, our guest has arrived.
A Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato. Yep. Perfect. Make the
heads in the eyes the same size and everything. Let's see if we
get sound a Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah Shemitah. How are you?
Looking South Africa October for Shadi? How's everything? I'm Lila,
Hamlet.
Stay awake. Your office in Bradford, England? Yes, a little
office. Yeah. MashAllah Bradford is
North more more north of Birmingham has a nicer climate.
Now nicer, they have this beautiful garden in the middle of
the city. And so let's let's tell our audience about yourself. So,
first of all,
Chemin de will be part of stuffiness it next ArcView next
year, starting in the fall ArcView, which is going to be
broken up into four parts. Basic, which is your father dying for
anyone to take and learn your basic AKBA and fic. And tweet
ArcView basic, then ArcView. Arabic, and that's what's going to
be led by Chicama de la Ke is going to lead the whole program,
but it's going to be its own track. And then ArcView plus,
which is the scholarship track, so the Arabic will be will not be on
the scholarship track. It'll be its own because it needs its own
attention. It needs its own leadership. Okay. The scholarship
tracks will then take us to the higher level books in each method
Anunnaki the second level book, so what's the second level book in
the Hanafi school? Or what's the second level book Hanafi school
caduti So, whatever is a second level book, we go up there, so my
dear Shafi, right? Yes, yes. From the Dasha, what's what would be
the second level book in the Shafi school?
Well, it depends what curriculum you ask but if you're moving up
from st and south of Jamya, and then you've got Fintan Ajah, and
then you're gonna get on to the mental coeem or the medulla Mia
and then move up to
the mythological Shuja and then you're gonna get into so I'm not
the Sadek
So which one is the first one that covers mama that's
that would that w the methanol called the Abuja that'd be subject
covers mama nuts. Yeah, okay. Yeah. Okay, so that's probably
like our version of the result of Abner visit. Yeah. So he started
because method calm, which is I know it can be outside. He's like,
because one of my teachers have a lot. So as long as you have met
the quality of your journey, do that with three commentaries. You
do that with my love, by the way. Yeah, a little bit louder. Good.
Yeah.
Making sure yeah. So yeah. So he told me about that as well. For
example, you do the method, the method of quality Abuja you do
that with three commentaries, so no class because even you do talk
individually, and then you do continuous sherbini. And then
after that's the man has probably been
with three commentaries, just to have them. Helene and Fatima
should be again, the mortgage, and then you will move on to him. I'm
sure it's not only
me. Hi. I mean, have you thought it'd been? Would that be? No way?
That's definitely. Yeah, that's highest level? Yeah, that's
okay. Yeah. So
that ArcView plus seeks to go into that realm. Okay, for the virtual
classes, the second level, and upwards. So so we're not going to
get to the third level. First, we're going to do the second level
in all in the in the school in the in FIP, and Updata and Hadith.
DARIAH, not everywhere.
But then we have ArcView kits, which is involves teaching basic
fifth basic theory and have the Quran so we now have a half of the
animal half a did you do get contacted by the sister? Okay. So
give her a number. So we now are we were a lot of parents, like, I
don't know how to get a hips teacher online, right? We're going
to do it for you. Right? And we have Sierra and basic FIP, no
specific method, just basic dot Onsala.
Essentially, in the medical school, maybe we'll need Hanafy
for the Hanafi families. But we generally just teach medically fit
as the default. There's no such thing as no method. Right? But
it's it's we don't teach the kids that there's something called in
today because there's no need for that. The default if you don't
ask, it's Maliki, like us. If you don't ask it's Maliki. If there
comes parent demands, then we'll get a Hanafi to teach the
subcontinental kids who want their kids to learn the Hanafi school.
So that's ArcView kids. All this will be rolled out
in September, jolla s3 And Chef Mandy is here
for two reasons. Number one, he is going to be our ArcView Arabic
teacher and not teacher the he's in charge of the whole program.
Okay. For ArcView and we're very excited about that. But he's also
visiting us right here in New Jersey.
The end of this week, when do you arrive?
Thursday, inshallah. Thursday? You arrived Thursday? I hope it's in
the morning.
Not gonna arrive sometime the afternoon or okay. I think so. You
arrived Thursday afternoon. You'd arrest all Thursday afternoon. All
Friday morning. And then Friday evening, Friday afternoon. You
should rest Friday evening. Yeah, that's a good Friday evening, he
will give his first lecture at NBC on the subject matter of
depression and anxiety. And that leads us to our first question for
you, which is tell us about the book. Okay, depression and anxiety
and
I have in front of you ready for the plug? All right, keep it up
for a second there. depression and anxiety, anxiety. Yeah, now we
call it the as you can see from the Arabic Al Khattab
was
it like it is as bad as that like causes and treatment?
Now, so the story the story of this story of this book, is that
it's not a translation per se. It's actually a an online
translation of a book I should say, because it's actually was a
TV series.
anymore. Mohamed Salah wolf he gave
maybe 1520 years ago 10 episodes, Windows 10 was 10 episodes and as
part of a wider series called the process called on the road like
like Quranic studies. And he covered different topics based on
that like who was much philosophize on the Koran, what we
understand about certain topics based on Brian so he set aside 10
episodes just to talk about depression. And he called the
dough Cab, we decided to add anxiety to the title because he
always mentioned them together. Vast majority time mentioned
together, because there's this cab, let's just call that
choruses. Little Robin not seen these kinds of things.
So my friend and co author was also mentioned the cover my
husband, he's an old friend of mine, like we went to school
together.
Egyptian like you
but we
It's a school together in Denmark, we finished the last four years of
high school together. Denmark.
Yeah, Denmark, I finished high school in Denmark.
His parents were ambassadors, representing each of the time. So
he's he's actually instrumental in my becoming Muslim. I mean,
because like, because he invited me to Egypt, after we graduate way
back in year 2000, and so forth.
Can we make good friends on the logs, and he speaks English, and
he speaks English and Arabic, basically a native
because I was the Arabic from home from growing up in Egypt, but also
just going to international schools and so forth. So he's
obviously equally proficient in both languages.
So he and he also helps me with my books as well, like all my other
translations, you see, especially mobile volti. He's proofreading
and editing and checking with the Arabic and helping me out.
And we came across this series.
We listened to people listen to it, we fell in love with it. And
we thought this is a great thing to do, we could actually turn this
into a book, I spoke to the moms grandson, I say perfect Son, Dr.
Mahmoud. I spoke to him about this. And he and he said that you
can go ahead and do it, the only thing you have to make sure is
that the mom himself like part of this will see it as he did not
allow for anyone to transcribe his works. So you couldn't you
couldn't just copy it down and then describe it to him and say,
by Mamabolo, he couldn't do that directly. So you have to you'd
have to take the work.
Summarize, inspired.
Inspired by her based on what we've said, it's based on the TV
series by and then it's multi and then translate and summarize by
mathy. And hasn't mass, that's the way we've done it.
And that was I thought that was good. That was that was like a
useful license, because we were able to just make it like language
a lot.
Make It Flow a lot smoother. And honestly, because it was because
of the TV series like that, you know, there's certain bits you
don't really need, you know, like recommendations, like in the last
episode, we talked about this, ladies and gentlemen. But it took
all the repetitions.
And then we also want to add sources and things. So for
example, he might talk about suicides in the global citizen for
suicide or depression rates, drug abuse rates, stuff like that. And
then we can just look up footnotes and add them in and say this is
what referring to one one thing that's very, very interesting came
up while we were doing the book is when he mumbled both he was
speaking, he would draw this distinction between like Western
societies and an Islamic society that that was the term he would
use. He said, like Western societies are like this and
looking. But I'm just like, he's like this. And has him was the
first one to flag that he was like, well, a lot of that stuff
that they have over in the West. We got it here. We because he's
basically Emirates. He's like, we got this stuff here. So so may
have been back then that distinction could have been made.
But yeah.
Yeah, yeah. Nowadays, it's like, you know, we know the same causes
are here in these worlds. So so we decided to go with it. We'll talk
about secular materialist societies, and then we'll talk
about Islamic societies. And we won't name any of them. Right?
Well read or make up his own mind, whether he thinks we're talking
about America or Egypt or whatever.
So that made the book
flow a lot smoother. And
what we decided, and I think when it got to the end of the book, we
had to think about, like, how, how do we really present this? How do
we really present this, like, how do we give this to people. So
after a lot of discussion and
consultation with different people, we realized that it would
be best, the smartest thing to do, it would just be to present this
book. It's not as a psychology book. It's not a psychology manual
or textbook. Rather, it is a book on Zoho, and SN. That's really
what it is. Because what we're getting at is like, if you are
feeling or depressed or anxious, you don't jump to the conclusion
that you have a mental illness that you need to seek a mental
health professional. Start with the understanding, start with
understanding that
you can always improve a relationship with a law.
That's the starting point that it doesn't, I don't care who you are.
Everyone, everyone, everyone has room for improvement and nonprofit
and Angel. Everyone has room for improvement in their relationship
with a law that's that's what it boils down to. So you have to look
at Do you know who a law is? Do you understand the story of your
creation? Do you understand the story of where you're going? Are
you in a committed relationship with your Lord? Are there things
that you're neglecting? Are there things that you're slacking? And
so that's, that's where we started the book is that that that
foundation, and that and that's what and so that's why Mobilty
talks about when we put this introduction, we said that
he looking at causes of depression, that would not be
really thought about or considered in the secular paradigm. Right?
You know, we're not talking about chemical imbalances or simple
things like you know, job loss or divorce, we need to look at the
bigger picture. Like what do you like?
What's really going on here? I'm getting this goes back to do you
know where you're from? Do you know where you're going? Do you
understand why law created do? Do you understand why tribulation is
happening? But do you understand the nature of this world do you
want? Do you know why you go through bad times? Do you know,
you know why you go to hard times? Do you know why you grow? Why do
you grow sick? Why? Why do you die? Do you know these things?
Like, if you don't know all these things, if you're just here in the
world, and you're just like, well, anything could happen, and so
haphazard. And of course, you're gonna be like, the pressure would
be obvious. You see, a lot of people talk about when they hear
the word, anxiety and depression, the first solution they think of
is spirituality. But I actually think that the vast bulk of those
things are addressed in
theology, law. And the spirituality is merely remembering
the theology and giving life to the law. Right? And so why is all
the things that you said are theological questions? Where did
we come from? Where are we going? What, right and then that those
are theological questions. Why do we get sick? Why does old age Why
is aging occur? It's almost like sort of sad to see every other
famous person or Hollywood person as the age of surgery. They get
these surgeries where not only to offend any sisters, whoever did
the surgery out there, but they all look similar. Right? And not
it's never attractive. So mostly just me growing up gracefully, not
disgracefully. Yeah. You see, the pictures on Google of celebrity
who's, you know, had like two or three of these surgeries, even one
of them just Botox was not even a surgery, right? But you see what
they look like, they didn't get any better. Right? It doesn't look
nice. They all look similar to each other. Right? Yet people
still because of the fear and the anxiety of death, and aging,
forget death, aging itself. They still go get the
whatever shots of Botox or whatever it's called, right? They
still go Got it. And you still just end up looking have that
same, like, Eastern European fish look, right? That's really what
the look is like, because they get in the forehead. Alright, now you
look east Eastern European, right. No offense, but you don't
understand when they they had has that slant. And I even my Eastern
Europeans friend told me, they said that we have there is a
genetically Eastern Europeans have a type of slit in the forehead,
right. And that's not something that's making fun of anyone. I'm
just saying that that's a description that they end up
looking like. Yeah, yeah. And then the lips look like a fish. Right?
And it's almost like, it's amazing how every human beings creation,
it looks different. Allah's creation of every human being
looks different. Yet, as soon as human beings get involved in
altering the creation, they all look the same. Right? And they're
all just you're there on identifiable, everyone looks the
same. So then again, it's not to make fun of someone Muslim who may
have gotten this or anything, but I'm just saying, firstly, it's
unlawful for us to do this. But at the same time, it's unappealing at
the same time. But why did people get driven to do this? Because the
questions that you just answered, or you just asked, Why, why does
aging happen? Right? What do we get what's gonna happen to us
after we die?
theological questions. Fick Shinya also is a preventative measure
against a lot of anxiety and depression. If you think about why
some of the secondary causes, I would say, theology is the primary
stuff. Why do I exist? Where am I going? What's the purpose of life?
The secondary thing is theology is fear.
Anxiety is caused by intoxications intoxication, I should say,
men, women problems, right? problems that people have men and
women. What else? debts, financial problems, financial issues, health
issues, right? Health issues. So these are, I would say, are the
secondary causes. But fit is a preventative measure from all
these things. Like a lot of young guys who are depressed so I'm not
depressed. Oh, my girlfriend left me what a girl is depressed.
Someone so there have fallout over a boy. Right? Should Yeah,
prevents these things. And then when you get married, it gives you
a track how to get married. When you're when you are married. It
gives you a track, what's your job? What's your job? Right.
Then the tertiary things, is, I would say the anxiety and
depression that practicing Muslims get. And that is like they don't
have the major issues. But they're just sort of down right? And
sometimes you just need a job to to solve, right? You just need to
increase your Vicodin sometimes even learn what the critics are, I
would say to solve is like the tertiary solution.
Oftentimes, and whenever people say I went to the guru and it
helped me or I want some hippies become super
He's, and it helped me out. Well, what the way he helps you out is
probably awkward to point. Not just that, because they could
without these questions being answered doesn't solve any
problems. The vicar when you don't still don't really believe in God
or know where you're going in life? Or what's the purpose of
light? That doesn't help anything? So it's hollow. Yeah.
Yeah.
No, because I think it's great what you're getting at again, I
think with its assault, because he does talk about that in the book
because like you said, one of the one of the causes of depression
and he said, have you seen this in his own life is that you'd have
some, some someone who can spend their whole life
it sinful, or I can be nice. It can be I might have to have a sin.
bothering my hand, there's a hand symbol.
I'm about putting my hand up. And when someone thinks, oh, I don't
say I think I guess, okay, okay. They lived a whole life in sin,
and then and then repent, and, and rectify their lives and start
being committed believers and praying on time and leaving awful
sins and all these major sins and so on and so forth. But then
shaitan whispers to them, you see, Anton says, Your past is so
horrible.
How could the law forgive you? Aren't you ashamed of yourself,
you really think that you can change you really think that a law
is gonna take you back after everything you've done? And so, so
then you have to go back to the core and it's why it's the core
and is the cause if you can point to the client, because you have to
look at the loss of the law saying yeah, evaluating.
Evaluating or someone forcing him not talking to me, like do not
despair. My slaves from despair of themselves do not despair from the
realm of all right. From the Nuba Jamia, Allah forgives all sins. So
these are like really key messages to get to people that you cannot.
You never ever experienced Mercy of Allah and you have to tell
people like this, that Allah loves you. If Allah didn't love you, he
wouldn't have called you back. Like Allah didn't love you
wouldn't have put it in your heart to say I need to change. I need to
leave these things off. So that's what a person who's who's really
ready for himself. I think another cause and this is something I've
noticed,
looking in like, what I call the Anglosphere and all these English
speaking countries, US UK I think a lot of people
and this is something that you know, Sunni Muslims should be
doing we should be stressing very, very hard on faith based salvation
that's what we need to be talking about because a lot of people are
falling into believing in the deeds based salvation where people
actually believe that they have to be the 51% good Muslim Yeah, to go
to Paradise like to be saved if you want to be that 51% good
Muslim to make sure to like my D my good deeds that way my bad he's
like, no, no, no, no, no. It's by Allah's mercy that you're going to
win to Paradise by Allah's mercy that you found that destination
that's why mama to how he says in his banner sunnah.
He says that the people that have looked bad and have you Oh, Ma,
they're in the fire, but not not probably the right that's
applicable here. So no, no, no one from this almost isn't a fire
forever. Right. We're saved by Allah's Mercy saved by Allah's
mercy. He has the deeds, maybe mitigating factors in terms of
temporary punishment, cellphone and so forth. But your final
destination is to a law. So instead the paradise so that that
can be another thing that really bogs down on people where they
where they think like, oh my god, I'm trying so hard, but I might
not make it and that's that's a horrible way to see a law that's a
really horrible so it's like, it's like you're just like a laws like
a mafia don or something like that. But he likes me he doesn't.
And that's not how you should see a lot
more is it's an accounting.
It's stuck on the numbers of deeds. Whereas we see that
the stories of the man who killed 99 was forgiven on the attempt to
to make hijra, right and also the just is in the same way it takes a
lot of iman to avoid sins and fear. Punishment. It also takes a
lot of Eman as well. For the positive things. Many people don't
believe in the positive things that's a result of weakness of you
men belief that all sins could be erased. All minor sins for a year
could be erased by fasting one day, shooter all sins for one
year, back and one year forward, can be erased by fasting, your
motto? That's it 12 hour fast you're gonna maybe it could be at
some time. In the winter, that could be a
you know, a 10 hour fast in which you sleep five hours of it. Right?
So flee for five hours of wakeful fasting.
So you have trouble believing that you need to increase your Amen
because it's only that way because Allah chose it to be that way.
That's it. We can't wait today highlight a whole bunch of files
and hit the Delete button. You can have files with encyclopedia
and books that if they were printed out would fill a whole
room. Yet we have all that here. And by highlighting them all, and
hit delete, immediately they're deleted. They're gone. A brother
asked me, so he said hold on yo Moto, forgives the past year and
the future you have since minor sins. And that could be major sins
if you accompany the fasting with Toba. Right? Specific for that
deep, he says then you're telling us that our Shuda erases the the
previous years deeds. So but we ready to erase it with Ottawa. And
then Joma Joma erases that. So every time I attend Jomar So why
all these repetitions of forgiveness. So I said, Look,
forgiveness, it's almost like you have a very dirty, let's say,
table
and you go over it once with a towel is not the same as going
over it five times with a towel, right? Or a wall that you that is
that is black, you give it one coat of white,
it's still not gonna exist still gonna be some blackness, another
coat and another coat. So I said that these are the forgiveness is
mcfa. The first level it forgives the sin, like the sinful intent,
Allah foregoes forgives.
The second one is kufr onsea to him is that he covers your sins
over it so you don't get embarrassed. Not only he forgave
it, but he covers it. So you don't get embarrassed. Okay, so that's
MK Farah, and then there is tech fee to the noob. And then there is
Apple, the Knoop which is I will protect you from the hardship
resulting from this sin. Okay, so like what like getting, like the
results of the sins, so I may have sins that nobody knows about, but
I suffered the results of it. Like what many people who have sexual
deviation, we may never see that sin, but he still feels the
results, depression and misery and self hate. Right? He hates himself
and he loads himself.
And he feels miserable about this, and he distrusts everybody I need,
things like that, because he's got secrets in the closet. So it's one
thing that Allah forgives, it's another thing that he covers up
your sins. And yet a third thing that he protects you from the
after effects of those sins. And then the last level of Apple is to
complete because Apple has two types. One is protection. But the
other is a complete erasing of that sin, such that you come on
the day of judgment, and you don't even see it in your book. And
there are a hadith of people searching for the sin that they
committed in their book and their scrolls. And not finding it
ultimately, is as it turns, Allah will turn some baddies into good
deeds even so that's the next level of it. All right, turning
the bad deed into a good deed. So you see how there's constant,
there's there's tap deed. So there's mcfa, there's commodity
et, there's Apple, which has two levels to it. And there's Tim de
se Atilla has in it. And that's why you have these, these
situations where it's the same period of time, but I'm seeking
forgiveness for it over and over and over, you're elevating that
dark wall or dark heart or dark spot, into slowly, not a lighter
spot into slowly, a shining spot.
And that's the understanding of wiping away those these that takes
a lot of Amen to believe that small deeds can result in that.
Right.
laws will thief loss, wealthy, and even things and even things like
like you were to mention, you mentioned fasting, but even just
being kind to your mother. I was with someone last night we were
talking about that the Hadith about Mohammed where the man
murdered, he murdered a woman they want to marry, she turned him down
and she went to him and I've asked him to bond with me like I said,
Do you have a mother? He's a no woman just make Toba when the
narrator of the Hadith says Why did you ask him his mother was
alive? Yeah. And he said because because that's the quickest way to
be obedient to the mother good to the mother. That's that's the one
that's the best way to draw near to Allah subhanaw taala
it's an allegedly a flood. I mean, there's so many doors and
passageways out there's so many means at your disposal to draw
nearer to a law that will take you out of these, these states, even
if you if you are even if you are a wallet in sin, you have some of
these sins and shaitan plays on that and she doesn't play on that
but so you have to go back to the AI to go back to the Koran you
have to back to the Sunnah and remind yourself these ayat and
have a good opinion of Allah because a lot does say in the
Hadith could see and move on the appdb right I am as my slave sees
me so you have to see a lot of merciful. You have to see a lot as
I was having I was having compassion towards you. And that
is especially the case as are the amount of followers with it.
that's especially the case. When you're approaching death as a
specialty case like when you're on your deathbed. Yeah, like on your
deathbed. You have nothing but a good opinion. And whatever,
whatever pain, you're almost youth you talked about St. Charles door
I'm sure we discussed that before.
Like Mr. Machines, he talks about how the unbeliever can have an
easy death. Because he's been he's been rewarded for whatever but he
did.
And that's the end of it. Right? You guys missed the end of it. And
that is the opposite. Whereas for the believer will have a hard
death because it was purifying
for sickness, whatever sickness he's going to reveal was purifying
him and then he goes back to all law. So people should not make
judgments. People should not make judgments on the good death of a
rejecter of faith.
Because that may be his reward. Yeah, does it reward Yeah, that's
it. It's a mandala lost or lost lost. Just that's not that's not
that's not an indication of truth is the pinnacle of anything.
We don't we don't go by any of these any even things like color
mat or whatever you want to call it. There's not
that's not approve of truth or truth or false. Yeah, it's not an
arbiter. Yes. Not an arbiter of.
Yeah. Let's now turn before we get to the next book. You mentioned
that you finished high school in Denmark. What? How? What's your
trajectory in life? From childhood until Bradford England? How many
different cities that you live in?
At least in your youth? Because that's your
thought processes before they be done? Okay, now if so how many
languages you speak right now.
Arabic English, my better ones. And then I have some some French
and some Danish.
But I'm forgetting them. Well, Hamdulillah we don't have to go
into it now if you don't want to, but But you did spend time in
continental Europe. Yeah. So it's also I want to tell you again,
this Okay, so I saw I was born in Sweden, because my dad was working
there at the time.
He was using this professor so I was born in Sweden was only for
eight months. Then we move to Canada because my mom is a
Canadian citizen. Her parents are Russian. Okay, that's where it
gets the confusion, confusing these kinds of things.
So I live in the Toronto area for about 14 years. Yeah, 14 years
from when they'll be like, June 81, to June 96. Right. And that's
where, you know, I have a conversation with ice hockey
because that's yeah. All right. I remember those days, right? Yeah.
My parents got divorced along the way. Then I moved living my dad in
Denmark for four years. Right so that's where I finished high
school actually did like English all those GCSEs limited
international baccalaureate. And that's where I was when I met and
that and that's like, so that's where I was learning about Islam
from hasm. During that time, he's
a Muslim 2000 hasn't been with Egypt's
before that just to meet family and ask questions and stuff like
that and see Egypt
it's very very beneficial. Mashallah, then I started my
degree in Leeds, Leeds, England, right which which gcuc Leeds when
you're here, I didn't come to Leeds No, I didn't go to Leeds
Leeds like down the road for Bradford it's like 10 miles.
Right. It's like it's like a neighboring city.
So in Leeds, I was originally signed up for an Arabic degree.
That's not US history. There's actually history I've signed up
for I was on a history degree.
And then in my first year, I found out when I when I had my first
week base when I arrived I found out I don't know what to call them
the USD do these things called electives in the US Yeah, we have
that. Like, like, of course they do alongside your degree. Yeah. So
being a super rational felon that I am, I thought, well, I may as
well do an elective in Arabic.
I am so I'm just because they had this big fair, this big hall full
of you know, different courses being advertised on Iran
militarism Arabic. So I signed up, didn't these Arabic electives.
And then met the muscles in the course. And they said to me, you
know, you could make Arabic joint honours, you could do Arabic
history, to get the other expression we want to understand.
So make make it together, put them together as one degree.
And then you get to do a year abroad. There's a year abroad
program, right in your second year. So it's a four year program.
Your second year is abroad, you can go to Morocco, you can go to
Kuwait or Egypt, something like that. So that's pretty cool. So
fill out the paperwork changed over made Arabic my bicep, my co
major, you could say
and then I went to Morocco, so I went to Morocco for 2000 1002.
That's where I really
dive into Arabic like I took it really seriously.
And then from then like because on that year, I covered a lot of all
the basics. I did a concert that drew me in with a teacher I did
another book in grammar and solve I've covered a lot of stuff and
then and then I came back when I got back to Leeds for the final
two years there wasn't really love there wasn't really much fun to
teach me
because I've done a lot on the side and stuff like that. So I did
some media records that are like that. I started translating click
was a local messages.
Graduate 2004 with my degree in Arabic in history.
I also did a TEFL qualification during that time. I did a
telephone TEFL qualification 2003 Then I ended up in
The city of Nottingham for four years was teaching kids
was at a school was like local Muslim schools I was teaching like
I was teaching secondary humanities I'm taking like history
geography these kinds of things. I did do some Jesus Islamic studies
and I taught Arabic to the kids that the primary school then I got
a job with there's a university there's there's couple
universities in Nottingham so there's the one small Nottingham
Trent University I applied to be there Arabic coordinator. They
took me on so I was there Arabic coordinated for two years, I
taught by design on course and on top of a couple of years, I just
is actually a part time job and but there's a lot of demand for
it. I was only gonna be like a couple of days a week and it'd be
like two or three. So it's quite good. It was quite, it was quite
good. And then
because the economic downturn at that time 2008 I left and I went
to I went back to Morocco to my wife went back to Morocco, and
then that was more studying, teaching English. That's why it's
translating mama shout always tafsir
things like that. And then 2010 I started reading more books.
I got involved in studying law book for people in Malaysia, I
started doing some books of walk. Rama mangas Ali, Imam and noise
instructor with a much more common etiquette to the scholar and a
learner than both didn't set the most left in the Mufti.
And then moved to gender in 2012. And started with another gender
from 2012 to 2020. Corona
and that's where we met at that ombre when I was at home when you
were there. And that was literally like the last Almira batch that
came out of America before Corona. So the winter break of 2019 All
right, and then 2020 Yeah, and then right then there was the
corona three months after that, that shut everything down. So
Masha Allah, that is a impressive passport size there with all that
travel. Mashallah. But that's how some questioners here on the
online are saying, that's how much you have to travel for him. Yeah,
the people travel a lot for knowledge. And especially before a
time where there was access to zoom or a lot of stuff in the
English language. You did have to travel a lot today, people on
their iPads may have books that we couldn't even, you know, imagine
we didn't even know existed, right in the libraries and the
bookstores of Eastern countries. But now, things may be a lot
easier. Nonetheless, traveling for knowledge is always a great thing.
It shows effort, and it puts you in the company of schewe as
opposed to merely just listening to their lectures or reading their
books. Now, before we get to the next segment, can I put you on the
spot? You're going to take over from me and begin the discussion
on your next book, which is marriage, the verse which is your
master's thesis, so that's what you're going to wear. We'll talk
about that next. I'm going to put our Sadie keen rep here.
Inshallah, Sandman is going to take over for a second. I'm going
to go downstairs real quick, come back up, but the subject is the
eighths of a lackey I'm about marriage. And that's going to be
our intensive here at mbyc on Saturday, from 10am to 5pm. A big
intensive on the marriage verses in the Quran. Alright, so why
don't you come up? He said, Man, I'll take a break and come back
the shortlist to see you. Good to see.
Ya. So we have a new book about about marriage.
It's not isn't it's not a it's not a book. It's not a book, I might
put out a book at some point, the future but it's my MA thesis
basically, it's my thesis, there's a there's a sort of like a short
summarized version available online publishing the journal.
But my MA thesis, basically what it's about, it's about translating
the eye to that communique into into English. In about 70. There's
17 a number of these iPads. And I was what I was looking at. Because
I was in the average department. My master's was in Arabic, Arabic
linguistics. So I'm coming from the Arabic Arabic standpoint, but
I'm
looking at the Arabic language, English language, fifth and
tafsir. And also, I've been putting it all together into one
presentation. So what I did with this with this
thesis was I wanted to know I was trying to get it because no one
had ever done this before. This was told by my professors over
there, no one had ever asked, Why do you get different translations,
right? Because because there's so many translations of the Quran out
there
by different people, whether it's use of it or murmur, middle
pitfall or any Musa
or whatever, there's all these different translations, why? Why?
Why do they exist? And so, I thought looking at the IATA cam
indicator would be very interesting. Because what I've
studied, in my time selling physical selling limit grinders
and all these kinds of things is the understanding that
a translator, there's no such thing as a translator beforehand.
A translator is really a more festive. He's more faster because
he's telling you what the Koran means. Right? You can't you can't
you can't translate and I have no crime. So this is what it is in
English. Right? You can you can say, in English, the eye means
this or the eye is saying this. But there are so many as people
like Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Abdullah, Abdullah Halima, Bonnie, the big.
He's one of the first people he wrote a big book on a liberal
Koran called Mahna Mahna
Mahna Quran. He died in 1948. I think mobile law he's one of the
first people to really go into the issue of translation. But there's
we call it translation of the Koran. And he said that
he showed that when people do this, you have you might be able
to convey what's called a primary meaning. But you can't convey the
secondary mean, there's, there's all these bilateral meetings, they
get lost,
that are important, but they get lucky because you can't convey
them because only Arabic can speak them. Right. So it's like that's
so that's why he said, he said, he said, for example, he said, you
understand that Arabic, he said the Koran is a king and he sits on
the throne of Arabic.
If you take him off his throne, once he's sitting on a
throne, this is what a lot shows to convey his revelation, this is
this is this is the language that he chose, you're going to lose
stuff. I was I was talking to some some of your colleagues on a Zoom
meeting not that long ago. And I explained this thing I said, for
example, you can't, you can't, you can't translate just give an
example you cannot translate something as simple as Al
Hamdulillah.
Al Hamdulillah gets lost in translation. Why, especially in
English budgeting, because in English, in English, we always
always always every single, every single sentence in English. I
don't know if you guys remember your grammar school, but it would
have told you that every single sentence in English has a verb,
right? You have to have a verb even if it's not, if you don't
have an action word like jumping or playing or working, whatever,
you're gonna have the verb to be.
Right? He is hungry. Right? We are tired, but if you're gonna have
the verb to be,
and this and, and the word verb itself in English comes from the
Latin word verbatim.
Which means the word, right? That's when we say like, it's not
the word verbatim. But when we use expression verbatim, we mean word
by word, don't we? Right? Because means word. Right? So So what the
English what what English grammarians mean by that is they
mean that if you don't have a verb, you don't have a sentence,
like the verb is the word if you don't have a verb to have a sudden
you don't have meaning, right? Arabic transcends that.
Arabic transcends that because Arabic you can have verbal
sentences and nominal sentences, you can have a sense of sort of
the verbs and the sorts of the now
Arabs can say something. In Arabic, you can say something
without using a verb. If you're not using a verb, you're not
confined to time. Right? So if you say, at Hamdulillah, we put on
English we say, Oh, praise be to Allah. All praise belongs to Allah
all praise do with well law. But you're putting in verbs every time
you put it in as you're putting in a verb, whereas a law says, Al
hamdu, Lillah. All praise for Allah. It's a timeless expression.
Because that's how that's who Allah is. He's outside time. He's
the creator of time. Right? It's like when, when he wants to, he
says in Vienna, somebody says that Allah is the Father before there's
a mcglue laws, the law before there's a more boom, he's the
creator, before there's anything created. He's the, he's the Law
Before It's going to be the Lord oath. So these things, these
things get lost. These things get these things get lost. So once you
understand that, that point about how
you can't transmit a frown, you're stuck in that way. And therefore
when you quote unquote translating, what you have to do,
is what you have to do is explain the meaning so you're essentially
a professor so when you're translating not really a
translator, you're essentially Ephesus. Okay, now, if you're
going to be a manifesto of the Koran, you're actually going to go
to write a book or you're gonna teach people you're gonna say that
you're gonna say to people, this is what the Koran means. This is
what law is saying to you.
There are conditions that have been fulfilled so this is where I
bring into my thesis I brought in
a quality mama CLT Angelina CLT. In his book, let's call that the
cornfield number four, and because he lists 15 sciences that you have
to know like, you're gonna be much faster, you have to know 15
scientists. Welcome back.
And he mentioned like, seven or eight of them are
Our language basically has you have no World War you have to know
how to defend yourself you have to know the grandson
b You have to know Kira, you have to know you have to know so you
have to know
next one so you have and then the last one he mentioned his Mo Mo
Heba Is it a gift from a wall? Right so so like so like
transitional Koran is not like a pastime or a hobby this is this is
like serious serious work that you have to think about because you
are a professor.
So
what I then go into is showing Okay, now if we want to talk about
why we have all these cortical translations in English and there
are discrepancies between them and our even mistakes in between them
what we find then what we find then is that these were why this
is happening is that these people are not qualified
the people are doing if they don't have those 15 sciences that for
example they don't understand they don't understand for example that
a fail mo like when you when you see a fail Emery mCore and it
doesn't always indicate will do
right it could indeed it can be a threat. It can be a tech lead, it
can be like, like, like we say that in English all the time we
say to someone Yeah, do that and find out that's not a command
that's a threat. Yeah, somebody's job.
Right. So people there are people who read read it in the Quran they
weren't we were Allah will say, I can't think of a painter I right
now. But there's a lot will say like a,
like students who audits right? From okay, if you can
go into yours, you'll see what how to go before you seal to audit.
There's not a command. It's not blue. It's not even. It's a law
just telling you. If you go out in the earth, this is what you will
see. Yeah. Right. But people understand that as being as being
something or being an obligation.
So
what I'm showing and so so why these 59 cameras are so are so
crucial. I chose them. This is what we're going to cover on
Saturdays I show him obviously, because the men because marriage
is the building block of society is the building block of the
community. It's so important that we get this right, because we
don't people are invalid marriages, people are getting
divorced for the wrong reasons. It's, it's a mess, right? If you
screw up marriage, you screw up everything, basically. Right? It's
the foundation of your entire
community, right? If that's not sound, everything just collapses.
So I then raise rate, kind of like raising the alarm here where it's
okay, now, if these I can translate the English and they're
being mistranslated and people in Michigan communities are relying
on that to build up at CAMH whatever they're doing their
communities.
Houston we have a problem. So like New Jersey, we have
right so it's like it's like we have we have to address it. So
that's what I saw. What I did is like shows to make it more
relevant is like shows. This was now this is like the
summer of 2020. So I went on Amazon, us the Amazon Alexa and I
looked at what are the most common translation of the most popular
best selling translations.
So we had an Bing it was a use of it. I believe it Helene and a new
one I had heard of called Clear horror and by someone called
pulled out a tourney. I think He's based in Texas. And then the
professor's over there
in Jeddah days Jasmine, Could you could you also put in Tecate
Pataki the Highlander like that one because that's the one they
put out in Medina, emotion Medina, and that's like, that is Arabic
live side by side. And they said, like, like, we tend to rely on
that. So could you research that one as well? Can you just add that
to the list? So great, so I put them all together. And I looked at
the linguistic differences, like the grammar difference, lack of
differences. So that's why I made a lot of that. So like this sort
of law says, like, gives you the idea, then a breakdown to show you
okay, this is how it's also translated as as long as you look
at the differences and you get really
you get you get some really scary mistakes. It's an example.
Okay.
Well, again, except you can imagine what would happen if a
translator does not know what the word consummate means?
I don't really know what it means. So I remember I think the I was
let me whip it out here.
He there was an ice was a circle Bacara I think was I 135234.
There's the they're the I was the AI about
the AI about proposing to a woman who was included in this little
affair, right like like she's she's in India, because her
husband has died. Now,
law says that there's nothing wrong if you do if you do doubt
eat, right.
I'd love to be right i 235 D
Right. So so all the all the requests will tell you right and
that's why they go to like normal Tafseer standards this is where
you go to like I like to add to it I will tell you that that dot Eid,
Talat Eid means to announce it starts October 3 Saturday, just a
hint. Just a hint at that you want marriage, right? So like, for
example, let me give you a good example. Like you might say this,
this lady like Auntie Jamila, right? You might you might drop a
claim like you're beautiful. Or you might say any man would be
happy to have you. That's a hint. Right? There's nothing wrong with
that. Right? But it's just not a formal proposal. As long as long
form proposal, you're okay. You can allow it to hint. Okay.
One of the translators understood,
need to be the same as alt.
Instead of using Bowser declaring it
around you announcing it, so? Yeah, well, right. And then then,
and then you go through the if you go down, you go to the eye, right.
Right. And then And then Allah says
at the end, right, Allah says, well, that's awesome. Well, that
ties him up with a new care at ubelong Jablonka. Elkie. Terrible.
Terrible, right? So executive total. So like something that's
like as a result like I argue that the best way to transmit we
probably something like this An Americanism. Don't even think
about it. Right? Don't
Yeah, yeah. Don't like don't even because like this is one of the
revolt assaults that's like so don't even don't even think about
don't even don't have the result and marry her until the end does
ended. Until the end is ended. That's what I mean. That's what it
means. Right? So now
you go from beginning of something because let's recap with you over
the beginning, I realized telling you the most you can do is drop a
hint. Do you want to marry this ladies? You need to refine the
most news, drop a hint and have the eye lossing don't even think
about marrying her until the end? One of the translators translated
last time Zulu as do not consummate the marriage. Wow.
Until the Kitab. Well, wait, wait a sec. That's a disaster. That's a
disaster.
How do we how do we go from you can't even drop it into Yeah,
don't concentrate to me. That's, that's unbelievable. One of the
one of them, one of them translated al Kitab, literally as
the book.
Which is, yeah, yeah. I mean,
what it was, so how does that transition even work? Do not
intend marriage until the book reaches its end?
Like how does it even work? Yeah, you see, but But again, this is
this is where people are thinking they can translate this stuff just
by
just by using their Arabic language. Let me give you you
might know what the word means. But you don't look at it to see
like, I can't. I think I think I'm more egregious example. I think I
think something okay. Yeah, yeah, more egregious than that, I would
say, in a way,
came where
this idea is in the last four months, I cover this thing.
Whereas, you know, we have something. And this exists in
every legal system. We call it, you know, what do we mean by we
call it like, my phone will call the flow, right? Yeah. For more
qualified understanding from the opposite. They are saying the
opposite. Exactly. Right. And they had this. They had this in
American laws while actually reading it in the book, reading
law by Justice Scalia. And Brian, Eric Garner, they have a chapter
on this called Nick is called negative implication. Yeah, right.
And then vacation. And I watched an interview with Justice Scalia
and Peter Robinson is Justice Scalia. What he explains in there
is he says, the negative negative implication is there but it's not
always there. Right? You can't make those things he was always
there. So So for example, if we go to a restaurant and the sign says
under fives, eat free. You understand what over five pays?
Five are overpriced. Yep. Right? But if you if the sign restaurant
says no no dogs or cats allowed What do you understand from that?
That's it. Also no animals? Yeah, no no no pet No. Okay, I'll go
home and get my giraffe Yeah.
Right right. Yeah, because because the because he said some some some
sometimes it's it there isn't a form of Oliver but sometimes it's
just it's just mentioned with what the majority district there is no
more from Mahalo. You can't make a mistake you don't say okay, well
no dogs or cats Great. I'll get my elephant and my Cougar Yeah. So
how to say the same thing and also mathcore alcohol and or are Maria
McDonnell column Exactly. So what I discovered in my in my
translations was that when I when I got to when I got to
there's there's two I add, where where this is really serious, and
you mom get there even points this out. And he says, like, this is
where you understand like he said, he's in this eye on this idea.
It's certainly Cy 23. And it's in sort of you
know what I think I 33 I think it is where he says this is there's
no he said, Lamb of home
that in this I, lemma?
Yeah, exactly move on, we'll call it for right now again, if you
don't understand that the new slang terminology might read
nothing. There's no understanding here, there's no concept of what
it means. What it means if you understand the terminology, the
terminology, you know, that means there's no one before MHADA Yeah,
you saying right. So so in certainly side 23
I want to make sure get this right. He says we're a law says
that.
This is like holding with Alikum I have to go read all the all the
people that cannot marry. Right now the key thing is loss of water
about Ebola t if you hold your report. Yes, that's exactly right.
Your stepdaughters who are under your care right now. How do you
translate that? Because the law says little about EBO allottee.
Right. So so the alert if you could draw from that part, that's
not Mahalo.
Right doesn't mean that if your stepdaughters not living with you
that's exactly example they given those schoolbooks that specific
Yeah, exactly that way so you can you cannot you cannot assume you
cannot assume that
your stepdaughter she's not living with you, then you're allowed to
marry not your stepdaughter is not allowed to live with you. And what
about the fact that she's allowed to be joyful? That's just the
COVID. In most cases, that's me. So, again, I look at every
translation assuming this is not my thesis, every translation of
Saint gets this wrong. Well, right where it's given as is if it's
your stepdaughters, under your care, it's your stepdaughters and
under guardianship is your stepdaughter is in your house. And
it's like no, you have to now you need to know English grammar now.
Because grammar we have something called defining and non defining
relative clauses. Right? How you break it down, whether you're
talking about everyone you're talking about to some group. So
for example, right? I'm gonna bore you guys, I'm teaching the grammar
now, but let's get into this. So if I say if I say for example, my
students comma who love grammar comma will pass the exam. That's
not the same as my students will have grammar will pass the exam
but no commas. Yeah. My students comma who loved grammar como past
exam is called the non defining relative clause, non restrictive
relative clause, it means all of them. Yeah. The fact that they
love grammar, it's simply extra information. It's identical. Yeah,
crucial. Whereas if I say my simple grammar will pass the exam,
I'm defining it. Yeah, I'm saying only my students will have grammar
will pass the exam.
Right. So the the way to translate an eye like this, the way to
translate an eye like this would be to say, your your stepdaughters
coma, who tend to be under your care, yes. And carry on. That's
the best way to say it. Right, just as important, like they might
be NeuroCare most cases. But that's not defining them. You're
not defining them, stepdaughter's. It's just a description, a common
description. And when people ask, Well, then why would Allah put it
there, if it's not restrictive? And the answer to that is that one
of the answers to that is that it's actually telling you that
it's permissible for the stepdaughter to live with the men.
So it's exactly the two pieces of information in one. Yeah, exactly.
And then the other the other, I just Just remember the other I was
uncertain, nor were our losses.
Well, that's hopefully what that fatality Malbay call. Yeah. And
not not the hustler. Right. So don't Don't Don't force your slave
girls in the way I would translate it. Obviously, do not force your
slave girls into prostitution. Alma,
who might want to remain pure?
Right, but the way everyone translates, I think that's the
this is 33 minutes. I have 33. And so to Nora.
Yeah, that's for the ethical manner, because in order to hustle
right now, everyone translates the in there as if it's conditional.
Yeah. Don't Don't, don't Don't force your slave girls into
prostitution, if they want to remain chased. So if they don't
want to be chased, then you can't.
That would be
so funny. He says, nice to see or maybe it's very close. It's it
says that that's not cool. There's no meaning to the force you you
can't you can't say for example,
if a man is hungry, don't force him to eat. Yeah.
He's hungry. Yeah, I haven't gotten before. So
there's, there's no logic to it. But everyone translates it that
way. All the tissues looked at everyone translate that not not
not just not just these ones in my study, all the ones I've looked at
they all put that way, though. They always say, You're not forced
to say we're going to prosecution if they want to remain pure, but
will fester and say you can't force anyone to prostitution,
that's not allowed is haram don't force anyone to prostitution. The
fact that they may want to remain pure, that's separate information.
Yeah. Right. So but these are mistakes that arise when people
don't know the grammar. They don't know the Tafseer they don't know
the will. So we're gonna leave and then these mistakes arising and
you're just not looking at tissue literature. So let me ask you
this. Sorry, continue for my next question.
No, and I was just I just want to finish that point that like this
that I have in certain about 33 That that's the one that really
kind of stuck out to me where I thought like, how can you like
read that back to yourself? Yeah, it doesn't make sense. Don't force
someone to prostitution, it's wondering purism, but if a woman
as funny, as he says, he says if a woman doesn't want to remain pure,
but she wants to be a whore, how do you force her?
To be one? It doesn't? There's no meaning to it.
When you at the time of your study, had Chuck Norris put on
beheld come out yet?
No.
Have you had a chance to look at it? Yes, yeah. And did you find
anything from what you talked about? You know, needing to be
adjusted or curious question marks? And I'll answer the
affirmative in the affirmative. Jeep. Now, do you think that some
scholars translate the Quran, word for word exactly.
As it is, and then basically, with the philosophy of the argument
that, well, if you want to know any more, you need the tafsir.
So they're not going to put a tough seed in the translation.
We don't know what their intentions are. I mean, I read the
introduction to the the the the,
the that that translation particular, but I'm saying you
can't I don't see how you can really do that. You just I just
want to put I just want to put out a blame translation, because you
could again, you're still in the mode of telling people what the
Koran means. Yeah. Yeah. Right. And, and these mistakes are going
to rise. And, again, we have to go back to those those 15 signs that
you have to know. Yeah. And I think I think also, I'd like to
draw a comparison. I also put this in my thesis because I think this
is quite galling. I was quite shocked when I read this. Have you
have you read the history of the King James Bible know how that
came about? No, not really. Okay, so So the King James Bible, this
was this was compiled. So this was the English this is the official
English translation commissioned by King James.
He's not like I translate hit easy. So you're translating from
Greek and Hebrew into English.
Now, this was a long project, this took from like things like from
1704 to 1711.
That was a surprise century. Yeah. And
he had 50 People do it. Well, different.
Yeah. Well, what we'll do, I'll explain what we did. So like,
wondering, why is this 48 One realize that 52 But
so what he did is he took he brought together
the top scholars of England, he brought together the liberal
professors of Hebrew, the professors of of Greek, the
professors of theology, from Oxford, from Cambridge, in
different parts of the country. He brought together the best people
that he could find, broke them up into like seven panels, and said,
Hey, you guys are the Hebrew you guys are in charge of these
chapters of the Bible, as a panel. You guys are in charge of this
part of the Old Testament. And you guys are charging us which was
like seven panels all split up, right? And they're, they're a
combination of like, theologians, linguists, legal people all
together, and they, and they produce the translation. And then
they had a review process. Right where they were, like, they saw
the panels around, they check each other's work. And then they'd have
like one conference at the end where they go over verse by verse,
verse by verse. Do we all agree that this is the best way to
render this verse in English? Yes. Next, huh, that's I'm gonna take
this day. Wow. Well, these aren't believers. Yeah, these are people
with a corrupted book. Right? But this is how serious they took it.
Well, this is how this is the effort they put into like this is
and this is why like the the King James Bible, I don't know what the
fight is like in America, but in England, people are so proud of
that thing. And I think you have a right to be because because when
when, when an English person talking to King James Bible, he
almost seems like effusive and so on and so many
like common phrases in English language come the King James
Bible. Like I walk in the bow the shadow of death. Yeah, the powers
that be all these expressions, all these like, classical expression.
They all from the King James Bible, that's the most it has,
like, like people see, it's like, it's either on par or above
Shakespeare. Wow. Right. That's the King James why but but why
though, because the effort that was put into it. And even in even
if you look at things like the new standard version, United States,
even that was done by a panel of people. Right, even though I was
on my panel when people came together, different backgrounds,
different, different different disciplines and brought them
together, right. So what I think my conclusion what I found was
quite shocking was like, like, how come? They're putting that much
effort
into their translations of the Bible? And we're over here
thinking that just one guy can do it. Yeah, yeah. That's a good
that's a that's, that's an amazing point. I mean, I never thought I
never knew that the King James Bible, they took that much effort
to put the translation into it. Yeah.
Ah yeah are in the translation I never thought about that. I never
knew that and it is a heavy responsibility for somebody to
translate you know the word of Allah and you need all these
sciences to understand it and and then there's philosophical
questions like Are we just translating it? Or are we giving
putting our Tafseer in it?
We are we almost think you're in it because this is the conclusion
this is why I highly recommend the book if you can get it on grab up
my shelf or no
this is a book I highly recommend if you Dr. Strategy. Kincaid read
that not mirrored right Manasa had a fine feel the more Quran yes yes
this
you know this I believe was Bozar colony
colony he passed. So that's the original that's the original
source Mina had an Amana had Yes. Yeah. So he's he's he's the first
island to really look at this issue of translation. Right. And
like what is what do we need to translate the Koran so what you
find is that later people later or the man when they talk about they
fall back on him so like, you mumble Bulte in his book and on
McCrea falls back on him. Mambo and madness to the book a while
they they fall back on him.
Shame him daddy. So Boone is broken tibia and he falls back on
him, they all fall back on this individual.
The chef because he really goes into it and explains that we're
not this is to see where it goes this year. So he's inclusion is he
said, if we're going to put the Koran in another language.
What we have to do is we have to have again, we have to have a
panel of people he doesn't mention in his bio, but he said we have to
have a panel of people. You have to have scholars from different
disciplines and we fit on a school and language and so forth. And
then you have to have the Arabic text has to be there. Right? He
recommends Folsom awesome, because it's the most popular swing
easiest one. And then on the side you just say this I am means this
Yeah, this I mean that that's the way to do it. This means this this
is things that he explained like that. And you make you make it
clear, you make it clear that your your translation, whatever you
wanna call your to see or is dependent on the text itself.
Right? Like the like the translation does not replace the
the text, right? Because there's only talks he says says look at
the Bible. People think that because they think that their
their translation replaces the original. I have the King James
Bible. I don't need to go anything. I know anything else.
That's why you hear these funky statements. When people say like,
you know, what's wrong with English? It was good enough for
Jesus.
Hilarious.
I debated uh, yeah, I had a short debate with a Christian guy the
other day. And I said to him, What language did you speak? You said
like Syriac or Syrian, or whatever. I said, Yeah. So what
language is the Bible in? And he said, I read it in English, right?
So I was like, so you don't have the Bible of Jesus? He said, No,
we haven't we just translated as if translation is a direct carbon
copy just different,
like a lens or a different shade of color. Right? So there's like
no concept that when you translate it over something that you lost
meaning, and that's going to happen to people who don't know
two different languages, and have never tried to translate an idiom,
like, all throughout my youth, and probably every ethnic kid who had
grew up with a second language, you've had to translate to your
non ethnic friends, in idiom, and it just doesn't come out. Right,
right. Or why you're laughing at this joke. Okay? You got to
translate an idiom, and you realize idioms can't be translated
expressions can't be translated.
Things like that can just that you can't just click it over into
another language and get the same result. Right. So but, but you
could have some explicit tafsir like, for example, when you said,
What about a robber Abel? Como Latifi? Who Jurica your your
stepdaughters who are in your homes? Good Karma. Yeah, karma,
but it's really your stepdaughters, who would tend to
most likely live with you exactly be living with you. That would be
tough. See it in the book. Right. So that way, you wouldn't even
call it a translation of the Quran, you would say the meaning
of the Quran, right? Like, this is the verse and this is what it
means it's not a direct translation. Right? This is what
it means. And that's probably more accurate. And you get away with a
lot more. And you're able to do a lot more. Right. When when a
person does that.
Oh, yeah, absolutely. I think that that's, that's the way forward and
I think we have to because of what I'm showing them. So Connie, that
gets that. Yeah, and one other follow up is is that we cannot
allow what happens the Bible or the Koran where people think that
the translation takes the place of it. Yeah. Anything he's very, very
exact about that. He says, you know, you shouldn't do that you
shouldn't put it out. And then the title says the core No, yeah, no,
you should say clearly that all the time. They're like this is a
translation. Look around me
Go for an or rent and you know that we cannot allow that to
happen.
And that's one of the things I was put forth my books like it was
like all the stuff on translate whatever it is, you know, I'm not
trying to replace Arabic, you'll I'll help you. But Arabic, whether
it's a crime or anything else, it's not replaceable. So, in your
course on this and in your master's thesis, are you going
into the fifth of these? Because they're added again? So which fit
are you relying upon? If somebody asks that question, Saturday when
you come and do this, for example. Okay, so I'm a Shafi but I do I do
quote the four schools as best I can.
So I have a Schaghticoke also associated with my flat Cam. I'm
quote, unquote, a mobile country obviously come up with a lot to be
because those are just gems, like mo Koran.
And then we'll Jahad for the kind of fees.
Who
Jahaz Paja have? Not yet sorry. Sorry, I just saw so.
Morteza, they're getting confused. Sorry, Hafeez. But the SOS mobile
just saw book it will just solve. I relied heavily on him. And then
I also looked at
so I use but also using the kefir heavily obviously I use it for the
hundreds and hundreds especially using a monoblock I'm Josie
because obviously if let me tips here for the raazi more for the
raazi that's just indispensable.
Perfect and Lavon. Just like his computer language, it's just
sublime.
Who else and then some of the modern systems as well. So I use
like saponi Almost almost over the diversity of his his book on this
photo I ban on
black M. I also use my map as a Haley's giant one the testimonial,
which about 17 volumes. That's That's fantastic. That's actually
fantastic to hear.
So the to get a well rounded picture like the like, these are
the professors on this wonderful festival and saying like, that's,
I'm trying to get it like if you're pointing out the minivan is
this. Yeah, any mom give theater and the mom according to the email
from the Razzie. And y'all these are they all disagree with you?
Yeah.
How about even our show?
Did you come brought in? Not even national? No. Yeah. It's crazy.
People in a future edition. If people praise his stuff, see it a
lot, although it has some things that are, you know, questionable.
But the rest of it is, people praise it a lot. Like for example,
he has very questionable
comments on Malta. Like his conclusion on what does bizarre
from a Sunday Maliki, to say what he said about Mata, right, it's a
jeep. And also and other things too, but otherwise, they say that
every scholar makes a mistake. And this was a big mistake. But
otherwise, his Tafseer is really thorough and covers a lot of
things in it. So this is going to be setting the book on this isn't
published or an area or not yet.
There's an Arabic summary of it online. I think I sent you the
link a couple months back, but there's so so there's a summary of
it published by journaling, Jordan, okay.
Like it's all in Arabic. I don't know if I'll put it I might put
English one day, but that would be kind of interesting. So you did
this in Saudi? Yeah, that was my thesis. And yeah, it will be an
amazing book to have an English, honestly. Yeah. Yeah. Because if
it's if it's critiquing the translations, right.
Then the English audience needs that.
Yeah, absolutely. That's the word needs to get out about that. And
why there should there should be
a translation that's done with a panel of people. And it's done the
proper way with the meta in there with the original Arabic texts
there, or I think they should just do the translation of a seat is
Jerilyn
Seussian Mahali. just translate the Jerilyn. Because that gives
you a right, because,
frankly, I never read translations. The only transition
I could ever read was up to her limbs. But every other translation
is something about it just really puts you to sleep and doesn't
engage your mind at all. It's almost like just not it's not
fitting something something about the translation every time I go to
an event, the translation part of the event is always the worst
part. Right? Some there's something wrong with the flow,
there's just something not clicking that did Haleem
translation is the first one that I felt has a flow to it. And I can
actually listen to this. Yeah.
I use the Bewley one. I should probably do that. Because
obviously when you do my translation where you have to have
some sort of translation to use for the I add that that's that's
very, very helpful. Yeah, because I think transit and transit if
that's okay, and if it's the contents of a book like this one a
lot of saying
but yes, obviously for the for the overall transit.
They shouldn't This just can't be done. It just can't be done. But
to get rid of like, like one of these, like what have you these
are but credit this is what, what sets them apart in many ways for
other people's they actually say what tears they're using. They say
what good they're using, like go back to what Mr. Massoud he said,
Look your ads, right, like, let's tell us what you're not you're
using. Yeah. I mean, just assume using AFS Yeah, right? So like the
beauty is they'll tell you this and listen, breezing watch was a
mafia, right? That's the I numbering them. That's what we're
using. And we're using images. Okay, the BBC record to be
reasonably bright. Okay, that like help help us. Yeah, but these
other translations, just like they don't tell you anything. There's
just straight to read.
Hey, Oh, can you please send me the Shinhwa translation? Let's see
if he has an intro. And this is one of when someone enters a slum
and wants a Quran do you give him one translation? Do you give him
one?
Good question. I guess I would probably I would probably give
them if I had if I put that straight. Probably I probably get
into beauty translation. That's one of the safest don't my my
view. But again, again, like the mistakes I mentioned earlier,
they're there right like those do I have 24? And certainly Nissan so
and
nor are they they're the same mistakes. So even again, like I
said, MCAT and Emeka theater says and as to see all sorts of new sad
i 23 He says, there's normal phone number formula, and this I and
then equals with the norm 2033 is the same thing. Right? It's just
which is weird. So
about I don't want to gain to denigrate people's efforts. But it
is this is quite know, the whole point of why our religion survives
is because it's out there. And it's all for constant review. And
constant check if people had to shut their mouths mistake would
last forever and people would build on that mistake.
When a new Muslim comes, I prefer not even to give him a Quran
translation because it's confusing for somebody who doesn't
understand the English and there are I cam that they may totally
mess up. So what I prefer and I still haven't figured this out yet
is um I want 100 to 200 page biography of the prophet for
beginners, it's one of the things that I wanted to write
first, you know, book, biography of the prophet that would be for
beginners or for like youth and new converts, like at that level,
that reading level.
That is a biography of the Prophet slice mingled with it is Shema and
mingled with it is principles of Aki to and Sharia. Right. So it's
all mingled in so that if this is the first book of persons given
the fundamentals of awkward or their
good, which is relevant to the suta, because the first as of
Mecca, were those versus fundamentals of shitty are there
in Medina, because you're not going to just talk about wars and
Tao Tao, who converted and who fought, and who got captured. In
between that there was a lot of things happening such as
revelation of eyes. And then, Shema, it has to always be mixed
in there too. Because the Prophet was always meeting people talking
and they were observing him that was happening to in Mecca and
Medina. And that would basically be 120 150 pages, that really has
the vitamins or the let's say, the fundamentals of everything in it
as in the form of a Syrah. And I think that is, that would be the
best thing for a brand new Muslim, right to read far more useful for
him. I can't say anything is superior to the Quran, even the
translation of the Quran but, but it's far more useful than a
translation. Because I guarantee you, if I open up a translation
here, it's just something's
gonna jump and you're not going to understand it. And the Quran, as
it is in Arabic can do that it can jump from one voice to another
voice from one subject to another, because you'll see in that in the
beauty of the wording, right, the beauty of the language will allow
for that, and will even distract you from trying to find structure
to it. And that's the miracle of the Quran and Arabic which doesn't
translate
in English.
So 10 o'clock in New Jersey time, this will not be broadcasts, it
will not be streamed, but we will inshallah to Allah be doing this
for ArcView students, and other time not now. And maybe a
shortened version because no one can stay in front of the computer
for so long. It's going to kill you. But we do plan we will do
breaks, right? Oh, yeah.
Everyone who comes you all know where the restaurant sorry, should
order some food and do these things, get lunch and have some
breaks? But for those who are asking about having this online,
not this
Time, the on liners will have its own its own event, oftentimes, an
onsite event that streamed doesn't have the same flow for the on
liners as it does, especially when audience members are talking etc.
So, yeah. Okay.
Let's take questions now from YouTube and from Instagram and
from our our live audience here. Okay. Okay, as I as I'm looking
here
at sickness introduction, I should read it actually very interesting
introduction
to the book, it's pretty long, actually.
Yeah, it's pretty long. I'm just looking at the headers of his
introduction here.
Yeah, I want to read it themes of the sutras, this, this is actually
very useful. He has a chapter on themes of the sutras where he goes
through all 114 sutras, and he gives you a paragraph on the theme
of the sutra, right, which is interesting. But of course, it's
never going to be encompassing, just interesting. And then the way
I liked the way in which he translated this, where he has the
whole page of Quran, and then the whole page of translation and it's
on the, the, the printing or the the codex of the medina Masaf,
which was by Othman Taha so that you can actually do oh, you know,
what I wish he had also done here would have been amazing. In the
corner, if he put what page it would be on in the medina Masaf,
which most people read on, and even the Codex has been sold. So
the Syrians published with that the Turks put a lot a lot of
countries and different publishers use that same most have, that's
around 600 pages, 20 pages of pages, every page ends with an
area, that's what's known as the medina must have. And it was first
written like that by author mantha. And there's a whole short
documentary on how he did it, and how he is actually the first
person to do this. It's an achievement. 20 pages of Joe's,
every page ends with an idea, no carryover into the next day. No,
it would be interesting, it would have been nice if he had put in
the corner there what page
the Arabic is in relation to the medina must have.
So in any event, let's now turn to comments and questions.
Yes, go ahead relative to this. Yep. Someone's asking, well, Chef,
put together a panel of people including himself to transit and
you want to do it.
Well, what do you Oh, he was Mike wasn't the question. The question
said, Will you put a panel together and get a translation of
the Quran?
Well, I get to see her on a Friday in English.
I've thought about it. But I mean, I haven't made any concrete steps
now. I have so much on my plate in front of me. So many other
projects in mind.
I think I'd rather have people learning more Arabic. But yeah, I
think it's something that could it could be done. Something that can
be done, but I haven't made any concrete steps towards it. It
would be a massive project to put together the Sunni study Quran.
Right? This study Quran was based on the Study Bible, right? And the
publisher had published a study Bible then they wanted to probably
I guess they had the study Torah, the study Gita, right, but then
the study Quran, but we ended up needing a Sunni, study Quran. And
that will be great, where each verse gets a more extensive
treatment beyond just a translation.
That's what the concept of the study Bible is, or the study of
Quran has, right? An issue with the study of Quran was that it?
It went through all the theological schools, which is
fine, because they do tell you, she or you say this, or so and so
says that, that's fine. Right. But what they don't tell you is
wherever they stick in their perennialism, they'll never say,
and the friendless school of thought says this are the
perennial lists. Yeah, whatever it is, that's mainstream Islam. Yeah,
they're presented as if that's the overarching absolute. Yeah.
Nonetheless, there are there are valuable things in it if you want
to see a comparison of what the different theological schools say.
And I don't have much reason to think that they were incompetent
in trends
in transmitting that, I think they were competent, they know how to
transmit things, but it was not not a question of competence, but
a question of ethics. The way they brought forth the perennial
philosophy, as like the truth, not cornering it into a perspective
thing, this is our belief or as or this is the perennial list
persuasions, states, x y&z and for every idea that came across the
exclusivity of Islam
And they always say see, lumberyards
appendix on the subject right now because he's the manager, right?
Yeah. So we That's why if anyone comes upon a couple, I would say
pray the 100 Grand for 100 grand, you can give part time jobs to
scholars, young scholars, and one veteran over them, right? To
produce a Sunni study of Quran will take seven years, maybe five
years. Some nice study Quran 100,000 bucks, and seven years,
right? That's what will take 100,000 bucks is not even a lot of
money. Right? Some people make that in a month. Right? And that's
a bad month for them. It's true, but in any event, last question,
is it better to study grammar and then move to speaking, you studied
so much Arabic is grammar better than studying speaking? Or reading
so you have studying grammar? You have reading and you have
speaking?
Okay, God.
Okay, well, it depends on your intention. It depends on your
intention, if your intention is, is to read the classical books, or
just not the class but just the books of the other man where
there's this age of the previous age, then obviously, your
intention, your your focus is grammar who focuses grammar and
vocabulary, that's what you want to get down. And you want to know
how to use the hands of your dictionary. So that means you have
to know sorry, you have to know the the verb patterns,
the jeuveau and the Ozette, you need to know these things, the
root word, the root letters of words, you knows. So you can use
the dictionary, you can identify when a verbal sentence is one of
the normal sentences, one of the NIV offers one prepositional
phrases, that's for reading.
If your vision is speaking, and that's different, you're going to
go to the world want to speak to people
or you're planning on being on Arab TV or some like that, then
you're gonna have to get into them speakers be more important for
you. Because again, the because you understand also there's
there's different levels of Arabic here because we're talking about
we have we have, we have what we call the first Ha, the classical
Arabic is what you find that that's the that's that's the
that's the layout of the Koran. And that's the books that are
that's the Hadith as the bookseller, man, then you have
what's called
a lot of animosity in the PRC, Modern Standard Arabic, which is
the language of Al Jazeera. And that is, and then the monitor
*, which is close you'd like you can you can study that and
jump up to full scale. That's not That's not difficult, but it does
have a lot of weird,
like weird expressions because they're just act translated from
English. Right? Like, they don't really make any sense. I'm like,
like, like, for example, they'll use expressions like, like, yeah,
that will go on. Yeah, right. Right. That's terrible. That is so
terrible. It doesn't make sense, right? Because, because playing a
role is comes from English because English has a history of theater.
Yeah. Right. So someone can play the role of matchmakers and
mediator, whatever it is, but like in Arabic, they're just saying
yellow abdomen, and they're using dollars with diamonds a circle.
Yeah, yeah. So it's like he's like he's, he's playing a role
is to say you're cool mama calm. Yeah, cool mock exam, like he was,
or like, with the first way that you have a function over the Yeah.
But so that's and then you have to understand that there's the
dialects, right? There's the Egyptian dialect. There's, there's
the Moroccan dialect, there's Syrian dialect.
And you can,
like, that's what you would study if you want to learn something
like when I was in Morocco for a year abroad, they taught us the
Moroccan dialect for a month, because they're like, this is what
you're gonna need on the streets. This is what you're gonna need
when you go places, right? Because if you go around speaking fossa,
people might be impressed but they might not even understand you
know.
So you want to, you want to be able to say to people like snub
latex and this meat on the bone, you know, you want to build using
expressions.
So it all comes down it all comes down to what your intention is.
As interesting as having I was having a conversation last night
with my colleague at the ARC Academy over here. There's two
arcs by the way, folks. Yeah,
this one's you the Arabic name they use the name arc so so I was
with a lot of checks on wall balls we were talking about this last
night. And he said that you know, is a good tip is like if you if
you want it when you get to the Arab world, you know, if you've
already let's say you're raring to go there to study right but so
you're gonna so you want to have your classical Arabic for your
classes because honestly when you when you study your teachers will
usually be like fossa Arabic because that's what's the books
the books in that line so forth. But you want to get around start
talking to people don't be shy to talk to people because
because you because you don't know you don't need your grammar so
sharper if you if you want something on the street. Just go
for it. Just go for it. So so he said, for example, the best No, I
said the best example of this right as you go to places,
especially his island agenda. The people who have no shyness but
speaking Arabic, a lot
The migrant workers by the Pakistanis, the Indian
manufacturers, they speak Arabic. Yeah, they speak Arabic and it's
an Arabic they use goodbye. It's not grammatical. Right? But they
made Yeah, let me that so
they'll say for example, like they want to say like what good are
you? Not fine to enter?
Yeah.
Right. Like what are you? Yeah, like, like, want to see like Are
you are you not? Are you not a human being like mafia in San
Antonio?
Right and but those expressions like those expressions like fi and
mafi, right because fees it's just a truncation of the classical
color Macondo
right like
water for tea wanted to fill them up, fill them up, kind of recover,
right? So you can you can get by and some are like gender just
saying fee and mafia Yeah, like it's here. It's not here Yeah. By
Yeah. Someone asked you a question. Because if someone asked
you quite honestly my feet like I don't have the answer. It's not
there whatever it is. Someone asked me a fee you can get by so
there's that so that's the thing you have to understand is like
Don't Don't be so shy and again Arabs
especially especially the ones especially the ones in the East
not not the Moroccans the ones in the East like again like Egypt
these kinds of places. They're not going to be they're not going to
be they're not like laugh at you will mock you. They'll see that
you're trying let's say they're trying the people who do manga I
think I think part of the phobia this I've noticed in England I
don't know what you guys are like in theorizing this would be theory
I have was Theorizing the other day about the shyness of trying to
speak up speak up pick up Arabic and I blame I found the culprit
it's the French it's the French okay because because the French
because getting an American or not you know you guys learn French and
Spanish don't you? It depends on your school because I think it's
also good for farmers Spanish speakers. I grew up in Canada we
had to learn French at school.
England they learn French at school of choice Germans manage,
but they were the French is the French are so like particular
about their language. And then if you try to speak French or French
person or you go on holiday to Paris, Allah help you.
And you try to speak to those people. They'll laugh at you.
Yeah. Like you're trying to speak their language they laughing
they'll they'll insist a that you speak their language, then you try
to speak the language, the laughing and a lot of people have
this the tiniest mistakes, but you said who have not heard.
Right. And I think that psychologically that that kind of
deflates you and you certainly can't speak a foreign language
right? Whereas
if you if you go through it, I noticed I noticed this as well
like the Murong lived in Morocco, like the Moroccans they to kind of
like inherited that from the French so like you start trying to
speak Arabic with a Moroccan they start acting French Woody. Wow.
Like what are you trying to do?
You know, whereas like when I was in Jeddah speaking, I mean, people
just love that people just accepted it. They just looked
great, you know, you're speaking our language, you know, and they
don't care about the little mistakes and if you didn't have a
BOMA, you know the facts are there and you forgot your man they don't
care that you're clear it when I go
when I go to the Golf I feel that there's so many daisies there and
they have developed a new dialects. I think it is. The
Arabic is a new dialect, right? My fight
so let me take one more question here from a questioner before we
log off.
Which Masjid do you teach at in Bradford?
Or when or do you have any activity in public in Bradford
in the
wow so in Bradford spying on me. Okay. No, so no in Bradford I just
teach Arabic at Ark Academy. That's the main memory space for
MTTR Arabic ArchiCAD. And that's a physical place people could walk
into sign up. Yeah, that's a physical place. And the classes
the classes I do are online and on sites that are people who come on,
there are people who come actually there to the place and it's
Sunday, everybody, but I put up the zoom and the microphone is
certainly up. And so I've got some people from the US I've got people
from Singapore, people from Holland, people who aren't given
parts of the UK.
And yeah, so that's I'm not affiliated anything like
particular method. And then I started recently, like I do go
around to different cities
to give talks and workshops and presentations, stuff like that and
promote my books and these kinds of things. So yeah, okay, but I'm
not tied to any particular method now.
Alright, so we will see you getting ready to host you here on
Thursday in sha Allah Tada. And then again, if you are in the
area, Friday evening, talk on depression and anxiety. Okay,
