Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim Al hamdu lillah wa Salatu was Salam
ala Rasulillah. While early he was up be human Well, ladies and
gentlemen, welcome to the Safina society nothing but facts live
stream on a cloudy Thursday in the great state of New Jersey. People
all over the world. They know the weather forecast in New Jersey
every day, Monday through Thursday, because that's what we
always start off with. You got to have a context. Gotta get set the
setting to me. Weather is so important. I mean, Sun is
important. Having a cloudy day, every once in a while is good,
too. Because it makes you appreciate the sun. I remember
being with a semicolon and may Allah have mercy on him. Say, man,
you guys so lucky out there out here in the Bay Area. It's like 75
degrees every day sun's out. And he's like, yeah, man, it's so
boring. It's like everyday sun, Sunny and 75 degrees Subhanallah
human nature.
It just
you have to have change. And that's what I love about this
area. Because right around now, I think everyone in the tri state
area would agree with me right around now you go outside and
like, oh, it's like a little bit crisper today, right? Like late
yesterday afternoon, around four or five 6pm. I went outside. And I
felt like the weather is just slightly crisper cooler than ever
before. Hey, oz, if you come back up, can you fill up Poland spring
bottle or something for these poor plants out here?
Also, so that I know what he thinks they're fakes. You know,
people think they're fakes. They're not fakes. They're just
taken care of, they're watered every other day.
But you start feeling that cool weather. And if you live long
enough, you realize that cool weather, MagLev is in a little bit
earlier. That means schools right around the corner, that means get
new shoes, get new bookbag new classmates, new teachers, all that
wonderful feeling of the beginning of the school year. And I always
love the beginning of the school year, right? And first marking
period, I always rocked it and I was like, my notes are ready, my
schedule is ready, my habits are perfect. My bed is made,
everything was good. By the second marking period, I started getting
bored of the whole thing. That's the problem. slide a little bit by
third marking period, you drag through the third marking period
because you know that third marking period is in the dog.
Those rough days of February of March is the mid year break has
set in and finished January. Right in American psyche. It's it's
Thanksgiving as a wonderful time of year then the middle of the
year. That's that winter break is the best. And then coming back,
there's only one thing in the American psyche to look forward to
if you're into that thing, which is the Superbowl.
You know why the Superbowl was so successful in America because
everything is dead at that time. Nothing is important. Nothing is
happening at that time. They actually dominate. So but I never
used to really care about suitable until my friends would invite me
to these parties. And they were like my old friends. And I'm like,
I'm talking about him. I'm going to this nonsense, right? And then
it would be a family affair. Oh, let's bring the kids we have some
food. We got some sandwiches, let the you know the wives get
together as friends. All right, fine. I go there and I'm not
paying attention at all. Okay, but eventually grew on me,
unfortunately, unfortunately, grew on me, right. And I started
because now I'd like you're the son your son's watch and your kids
are watching. His friends are watching. So it becomes just a
bonding thing. In any event, January, February, March, those
are the rough, roughest time of the year, in my opinion, because
days are short, weather's gloomy.
Third marking period I always just like I don't want I'm, I need
either this. I can't do this. Right. I was never great in the
third marking period. But now, third marking period ends.
Summer springs in the air. And once you feel that the spring is
in there. All of a sudden, everything's rejuvenated. I always
finished off really strong. Literally, if you go to my school
report cards
every single year, it's the same thing. Right? Eight, it's a
checkmark a reverse. It's like a reverse checkmark. Right. Anyway,
what do you care about my schooling, but I'm just saying
this is the way things are in the east coast. It's about to get
really nice. The fall is such a beautiful season. If you live up.
We have a student named Maya hab lives up in the Massachusetts
area. She's not only a young girl, her and her family, they're
they're part of ArcView and this year ArcView is going to be really
good. Go learn about it and take the classes. Okay.
And today, we're beyond going into that arc view. We always start in
mid September. We let the school year start and school
your role and everyone get into the school year then we start our
classes after everyone gets rolling. All right today, let's
talk about stories of the Olia and say don't remember to be Muhammad
remember to be
I'm going to make key okay we're gonna read about them but first
let me send this message off
Okay, have the teachers
Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim reading from resettle Kusa area which
we're about to finish all the biographies here. So you don't

Mads Ebenezer port he's a Moroccan I'm not gonna be right or his
parents are Moroccan and he ended up dying in knee support will also
be an annual salaallah alayhi Abu Bakr Ribnica coup, the great
Ashati scholar Abu Bakar had been Phonak
he had been photographed this named out in the margins of
whatever you're doing okay
even for ACC
is one of the go to books if he needed to know that we that
in the Hadith of the of we that of the watershed, Hadith
there are a hadith Morticia right.
And no we talks about them a lot. No, he is one of the go to places
for that to know when we shot 100 Sahih Muslim, what is what's a
Shabbat you may be asking the word in which a Shabbat has two
meanings number one oft repeated so in the in the realm of Hibs
Quran memorize the Quran, the whole fourth study the motor,
Chevy, okay, then with the Chevy heads, what are some of them which
a Chevy heads for example,
any type of verse that it's exactly the same set of wording or
very similar wording such that you ever find yourself reciting one
sutra
then you're not really paying attention, all of a sudden you're
reciting another SUTA. All of a sudden, how did that happen? You
probably linked onto one of them with a shabby het. And then you
ended up taking the wrong path to the other sutra. Okay? So that's
what she said, but in the realm of Arpita them with the Shabbat or
verse or sayings and a hadith that would seem on the literal meaning
of it to the face, the original default and literal meaning of a
thing a verb to contradict another
pillar principle of the deen that's what they call them what to
shove and in no way in Sahih Muslim, he covers them in Hotjar.
In a short, humble clarify Tilbury covers them and have been Phonak
before them. Before both of them covered that for duck is fat Well,
or KEF. We should actually read some of his books. I wish I had my
iPad on my iPad right now on me, but we should honestly
read some of these books
have been forrec Karla Taqwa there's only one quote from him.
At taqwa, who will will go for people who do
get
it Taqwa is really stopping at your limits. And there's no value
in all this good nice talk about the deen and then we flirt with
the boundaries of Allah. We got to make Toba or otherwise we can
become frauds when we ask Allah refuge from them.
Okay, Karla woman sad batil agonia Yeah, la medalla settle for

EBITA Allah Who law who to Allah be motile listen to this. Is it
wrong? To be an aspirant businessman to be to aspire for
some of the matters of the dunya to try to make a buck? That's not
necessarily the problem. What's the problem? The problem is men
Ephyra saw but the Allah module would
Majelis little Pokhara would that you prefer to sit with that crowd
of people
over
sitting with the pies. So that's really what it is. It's not it's
not about sitting with the crowd of business people, millionaires
and billionaires. It's not even hard to become a millionaire,
right if you put your mind to it.
Sitting with them,
Enix in preference, to sitting with the pious
and sitting with the righteous, and what do I mean by sitting with
the pious and the righteous, sometimes just the first row in
the prayer? Sometimes in every mosque, there's like five, six
people, they are at every salah. And they're always from all walks
of life, like I know one mosque, where
one of the people who never misses a Salah in the mosque is also an
amazing real estate mogul.
Right? He's an amazing real estate guy.
This is in New Jersey.
He's extremely successful guy. But he's also one of these folks. And
folkart does not mean financially impoverished folks out here means
they know their neediness to Allah, they recognize, we need
Allah subhanaw taala so we always they're always in Salah. They're
always in those in that gathering those modest gatherings the
masajid the first row behind the Imam. Okay.
So that's something extremely important to recognize that we
cannot forego that group. These are the people of Allah subhanho
wa taala. Sometimes it's a gathering of knowledge. Sometimes
it's a going out for dowel, whatever it is with them. Take
from that, Baraka that they bring down what by their humility and
their a bed and their pure intention. Next one, well, I'm not
good enough it'd be

Mohammed Mallory, let's go to him. He says, whoa, Abu Abdullah
Mohammed was made in MongoDB. He also died 299 After the hijra, and
which equates to 911 of the Common Era.
Western Ibrahim ignition event which it means I live near Rosen,
I shall meet at a why should he in a senator Craven, he died about
100. And he lived about 120 years. Wow. I mean, you know that long
life and physical health, I don't necessarily think there's any
connection.
Right? But
physical fitness, physical fitness and long life, I don't think
there's a connection, physical fitness, and enjoying the last two
years of your life. There's definitely a connection, right. So
you don't get to choose when you die. There's no such thing as
you'll live longer. There's none of that. But you'll live better.
If you take care of a car, the great result is the car doesn't
break down on you. If you take care of the body, you get the
reward. You cannot cheat death, you can't extend life. But at
least the last 25 years of your life will be better. Some people
spend last 25 years that they've done an open heart surgery, limb
being having, you know the bottles of medicine, okay, that whole look
the the shoebox with all the little orange bottles, the nonstop
visits to doctors and to hospitals and to. So that's the the bit up.
That's it. That's purification of sensory at the end of time, and of
your days, but it's not something you work for. You work to to work
for or against that. And today we're going to talk about that, by
the way. Here we have one of the oldest living 120 years, what is
the last 40 years of his life look like? What is the last 50 years?
Imagine this? You're 70 years old. Now, when you're seven years old?
What can't you do anymore? Number one, you're not attractive anymore
to anybody. Number two, you're not really going to do anything
physical. You're not going to do any heavy physical lifting, or
movement. Right?
You can't do a lot when you're 70. Now imagine you're 70 and is
destitute to live another 50 years.
That's a lifetime. A literally a lifetime. That means someone can
be born. When you're 75 years old, your great grandchild will be born
and you will live to see him become a father.
And 45 years old Hmm.
Probably and maybe even a grandpa in the olden days definitely by 50
or grandpa right
because you get everyone married at 20 Right? Even Marian got 30 He
Big grandpa.
Unbelievable. So that's why it is important to put everything where
it belongs. Namely, you got to take care of your physical health.
Not it's not just you have to take care of our people. Most people
were turned off by that you have to take care of it. No.
You should want to because you will feel so much better you'll be
able to do so much better life is efficient. If you take care of
this body of ours, right it's Annamma so why not use it why not
take care of it so it's a great blessing
Okay, so he has said he's lived about 120 years can I G bus

delay here do Benny Adams in in a Kathira he didn't eat
what human beings touched for a long time.
And what does he mean by that? He didn't eat from the marketplace
because he feared some unlawful wealth or unlawful practices got
involved.
Okay, as we read here from out of the setup Kush area.
Okay, it's in English to
the resale as it crocheted his epistle it's called, so he didn't
eat Mimosa let's delay here do Benny Adam
see Nina Cathy rotten. He didn't eat anything humans touch for many
years. Because he wasn't sure if it's lawful or not. He only ate
what came out of the earth directly, or the animal he raised
directly connected him and also to Russia. He has yet to our tie when
he started eating different things out of nature that were not
normally eaten by people but he got used to eating it. Part of the
Amani Amara tool. Oh, coffee bewafa caught? I think it means
your Alacati the best of these to fill your schedule. Fill the
schedule,
with things acceptable in the Sharia.
So busy.
Why are youth
getting in trouble?
They're not busy.
I remember growing up the elders, the uncles and all the people used
to always praise busyness for youth. Young man gotta get busy.
Gotta stay busy. Right? Summertime. Why did they lower the
work age? They shouldn't have lowered it. Just like what is it?
16?
Right. That's no good. No good. Okay. People got to work.
And it shouldn't be all work either should be working. It
should be learning and it should be enjoying your youth before it
goes away. Believe it or not, I'm gonna had dad mentioned this. He
said that.
He said that. He had a tummies a student who used to bring his son.
He said I want my son to get used to study. He said, Why didn't you
let him play?
Remember her dad said go let him do the things of youth now. So he
doesn't feel like he missed it later on. And then he would desire
it later on. That's really important. So So young people got
to do young people, things that you have time to do now, so that
you don't grow up later and say, Oh, I'd never did that. Or then
you will have your own kids and you can't relate. You ever see
some of these people who are like
prodigies, prodigies, I don't think they make good parents. I'll
tell you who makes a great parent, regular people
who lived a regular life. They make the best parents, because
they understand the regular desires of a young person. They
understand the regular the mistakes of a young person. Like
if you're a prodigy, and a genius. Do you think like someone like
Einstein?
Do you think it was a good dad? I don't think so. He can't be what
does he understand about regular people? He's a prodigy. He's he
lived differently than anyone else. And it's not just prodigies.
People who are raised differently than everyone else, in a negative
way, or in an any excess. Like some of these parents, they got
their kids studying, like 678 hours a day in the summertime.
Yes, that kid goes off and he excels better than everyone else.
But he will be a terrible dad. He will not be. He will never He
chances are he won't really relate to youth. He won't know what that
life is like. Okay. So that's why, like, you see the best people and
their parents are like totally ordinary people.
Right? There's there's a lot of
unique things that can happen in raising children and a family that
is a net positive. Like it's very unique, but it's positive. Okay,
like I was recently reading about a guy who grew up on
a multi acre farm
arm
and had to do all the chores. And live that natural life. Right. And
by the sunset was totally exhausted. He was homeschooled in
the day in the morning. He did homeschool in the morning. And
then worked on the farm at night. And but he did this with his all
his brothers and sisters, so he wasn't lonely. And there were
other farm hens there. And there plenty of animals. So there's a
very busy life. Many people say homeschooling like the limit of
it. Yeah, there is a limit that you only deal with the people that
you already filter. And that's not necessarily good. It's very good
to do learn how to deal with people that you didn't filter out,
or nobody filter it out. That's one of the positives.
But it could also be a negative because you could deal with very
bad people. But in any event,
he lived like that he came out of that, like, really good physical
habits, physical health came out there, like always sleeps early,
always wakes up early, because you got to wake up early to do your
chores. Right? Then do school, then take a nap, then do all the
formwork
of the end of the day, then be home before dark. Have dinner and
you're knocked out because you're so tired.
So that was unique, but it benefited him.
I had another I read about another set of parents where the dad was
from the military. I love this. I thought this was great. And he
said he he implemented 10% of the military in his house. Right? You
want breakfast? 10 Pushups. Good for you wake up. You're not eating
until your mom witnesses you do 10 Push Ups. Right? That's great.
That's a great habit, right? You're getting your kids into
there consistently has the boys in that family. We would outdo
everybody not because of anything drastic just because of these
habits. You want to eat dinner. All right, you got to do some kind
of there's always something. But that's also cheap. It's one thing
generosity is a nice thing. But also, the idea that you need to
actually do something to earn
something is also something that is a benefit. So ever before doing
everything they had to actually earn it was something that took
less than 30 seconds. Literally what does it take to do 10 Push
ups like 30 seconds, but it was daily, daily, daily daily. So they
came out. Now one of them broke, the dad went too far, one of them
completely broke. And that's the thing about extreme parents is
that they can't
treat everybody they can that 50% of the people won't work the kids
are going to burn them out. And one of them literally broke
he broke the kid couldn't handle the pressure but the other thrives
on the pressure and became extremely successful. Right and so
that's why extremes will always someone will run away from it and
someone will really succeed what we really
love it and that's not a good thing. So that's why you're better
off not having extremes when you do these things even if it's
unique but it shouldn't be extreme.
Is he here
our guests let's have our guests in about 15 minutes.
Go
he says here
Carla, Carla Adamo Nursey Zulan for Kiran Danna Vania
alto de Allah who
will Where are them we'll call up the Zen vahanian to the level for
karate we'll have you the Hermeto macara mettam He says the worst of
the people the most humiliated of the people
are the poor that kiss up and make an humble themselves to the rich.
That is the most humiliated person
and the best of people, the most noble of the people are the rich
who know how to be with the poor without embarrassing them.
To then he humbled himself with the poor. Okay.
And he guarded
their honor. What does that mean? You sit with the poor.
You have to learn how to sit with them.
And for some people
who are the super rich, everyone else is poor. Like super rich can
sit with an accountant
A dentist that's poor to you to him right? To the super rich
that's poor.
Okay, so
the rich who do not know how to sit with the regular people or the
poor there's there's something missing in their character. They
need to learn how to you learn well probably maybe take off that
$3,000 suit and put on some regular clothes. That's the first
thing. How about not rolling up in your Bugatti How about roll up in
a regular car even a Mercedes fine, it's acceptable, but not in
one of these cars that are out of reach. So you have there's a
clothes. There's there's an outfit for everything. Nobody goes to the
gym in wingtips. Fancy wingtip shoes, right.
You go to the gym, nobody goes to the gym, decked out and $1,000
jewelry. Women don't go to the gym like that, right?
People don't go, you go to every place has no you never see a guy
do physical labor.
With his fanciest watch on. So everything has an outfit. There's
also an outfit to sit with regular people.
If you're a scrum, the super rich, he got to know these things. Okay.
What do you bring up? You don't know how to talk. I know some
super rich people were great.
They're genuinely great people that just love regular stuff. And
as a result, you could sit them down, I'm telling you, I know a
guy. This guy's multimillionaire multiple times over, right?
He know you can sit him down with a garbageman. I'm telling you.
They'll cook. They'll know how to he'll know how to chit chat, he'll
know how to talk. And he genuinely, genuinely will just see
another guy. Right? He understands that wealth is just something
Allah gave him. And he lived many, many, many, many years of his
life. As a regular guy, that's the benefit from him. It wasn't born
into this wealth. He earned it
after years as a regular guy,
and that's why he's blessed and that's why he's good.

Or sorry, knowledge is the reins. You could say. Here is your map
knowledge is the map, the navigation system.
Fear is the driver, and the knifes is between the two. Okay?
It is a tricky creature. The neffs is a tricky creature Gollum was
made to to symbolize the knifes whoever saw our Lord of the Rings.
Gollum is a character symbolizes the neffs. Okay.
It is hard to see. Come on it.
Gollum was somebody who,
if you taught him a lesson, if you
put him in his place, what does Gollum do?
He starts crying. He makes himself a victim.
Be careful of the fake victims.
But the moment you give him an inch, it takes a mile. Okay?
That's why he says enough sua da. It's trickery. It's tricky. But a
welder, it goes deep
into things he likes to go around and do all these different
mischievious things. So be careful of our own self. Interest is
ourself.
But we do our unique creatures that were able to be conscious of
ourselves, the only way that that is happening is that we have
multiple facets to ourselves.
Okay, that's what's unique about self consciousness, if you think
about it, right? Like your eyes can never see your eyes. Right?
You can't ever see your eyes without having a mirror. Right?
You can't see your eyes. So how is it that we talk to ourselves? We
must have multiple facets to us.
That's the miracle selfconscious. Baby. Animals and dogs are not I
don't think that they're self conscious, right? They don't the
dolphin doesn't? Well, we'll never know, right? But in general, the
dolphin doesn't sit there thinking about what is life like as a
dolphin?
How to Allah make me a dolphin, right?
First of all, wouldn't ever know that. But
that's assumption. Well let Well, why don't we look at children? Why
do we love looking at children because they're not self
conscious.
A child is never thinking.
age two, three, and four, when they start talking, and they start
having a personality. But they don't their self consciousness
hasn't developed yet. They're just a wonder to look at because
they're just it's pure. Right?
It's pure.
There's no self consciousness. And it's amazing to see them play with
each other. Because they're look like slobs. Right? And nobody
cares. None of the kids care. No one is self conscious. And that's
why it's beautiful to look at children. Okay? So to watch them
play and watch them do their thing. And when they talk, he's
never trying to be funny. Right? He's added up the consciousness
for that yet. So that's self consciousness is one of something
that and there that's one of the places where the scientists will
okay, what's physically different about us?
They're all about what worse we're physically no different than
anything else. Okay, then. But why are we self conscious than if we
are physically I remember reading something where if you took a
human being and you crushed the human being
right, completely, and you separate it out the commercial,
commercially valuable elements within the human being, he would
sell for no more than 13 bucks. This body is not worth
commercially 30 Like you crushed, it's not worth 13 bucks. As
opposed to gold, you can take a gold, a beautiful gold statue
melted down and it's still worth a lot of money. That chunk of gold
is worth something intrinsically as a value. You could take
diamonds, crush them up, crushed, still have some value, but not the
human being. So where is that self consciousness coming from? It's
from the knifes so the neffs is something that can talk to itself.
It's such a unique feature right of the creation. So he says beware
of it.
But rather I have BCS it'll
treat your knifes wisely, based upon knowledge. You have. Now
young people are not do not have much knowledge of the neffs not
because they don't read books doesn't matter what they read
because they've never dealt with it before. So young people when
they get successful all of
A sudden spend all the money in party all day and all night until
the day comes, boom, we hit a wall.
And you realize, oh, okay, all that temptation was no good for
us. We thought it was nice. And we thought success could just come to
us. But know all that partying all that good stuff is bad, okay? was
not good for us, He ruined us.
And sometimes impiety people get into the dean, and they realize
that if they hit the gas, good things happen, right? If they if
they push hard and the dean, a beautiful result happens inside of
them. So what did they do? They put the pedal to the metal, right?
And then watch in six months, they hit a wall, right? And six months,
they hit a wall, and they burnt out and they're physically
exhausted, they lost a lot of the zeal. And now they're on a
downward slide, but they're too tired to stop the slide. That's
the thing, right? You're looking for this book.
It's called the reseller, of course at
alpha, okay?
They're too tired to stop the downward slide. And that's a scary
thing. And you see them slide really hard, right? Well, what
happened at the end of that, by the time he gets back up, he
learned something.
So what he talked about CES had to learn that knowledge of how to
deal with the knifes is not a book knowledge, it's, it's going to be
experience. Like, what would you rather have a guy who has not read
a single book on managing a team. But he's managed the team for 10
years, versus the guy who's has a PhD in management, but never
managed a team. Right? I know a guy who
set up a company on entrepreneurship. Right? training
people in entrepreneurship.
You got never made a single company in his life.
It isn't a buck to his name. Right? So what the Oh, but I have
a master's? Who cares? Right? You never have done it.
You've never done it. So this nefs thing has to be experienced, you
have to assume now, do I have to go through this every single one
of us have to go through the experience? How about we get smart
here. And we take the experience of others that is the value and
benefit of having a shake.
That's why we have to you you have a shift because the shake, he's
gone through it all. Not only that, he also has trained others.
So he's seen their experience and learned right now when he comes
into stop here, stop. Stop getting up in the middle of the night for
three hours. It's enough. Who did this?
If I'm not mistaken, it was Salomon and Pharisee. With Edward
data from not mistaken and would not have entered Islam and Medina
sedimented Fantasy has been living with worshippers scholars and
mystics of different religions, Christians and Jews for decades on
end, he is he knows the knifes right? He knows the ups and downs
of spirituality and the knifes and the ego and rejection and all
that. So he said, so I would go to dad's wife, if I'm not mistaken.
It's
she complaint. She said he fasts every single day.
And he prays all night. So he said okay, I'll take care of them.
And they had been companions, the prophet or no, they they were
friends. So he said to me, that let me spend some time with you.
Huh?
Put it up if it works.
I said let me let me spend time with you. He said okay. He outs
and manufactures he was older.
So came time for Abu Dhabi to wake up for to hedge it said
manufacturers he said no sleep.
He said, sometime later, he woke up and he said no sleep.
Third time. He said okay, now get up.
Gets up for 200 they pray a little bit. Then he goes, good. So hold
on. He said What's this? He said so he said no, we're not fasting
today. Okay, so he basically measured him he put into the
middle. Because if you go up with that, if you run up the mountain,
the problem is when you slip and you get tired, there's no way to
put the brakes on when you're slipping downwards. Right. And you
need the energy to stop the downward spiral. Okay, and so that
is where what he's talking about here at CES. That's who I am. You
know how to, if you know how to deal with your knifes.
Then hopefully you'll be able to learn how to lose
Let's get rid of that gold because it's a clash there.
You know how to deal with your enough's you'll be able to deal
with other people's knifes and you'll be able to deal with
to be more happy and realize this is enough. Go. And oftentimes the
youth they don't like the youth, they want to put the pedal to the
metal. All right, everything. Girl beard, first of all, this big it's
got to be this big, anything less is weak. All right, close. I don't
care. I'm going to chop right and Trader Joe's turbine. Doesn't
matter. Boom, let's go. All 100% Okay, it's nice for a week.
Listen, cool it down learn. This is not going to work forever.
School, no quitting school, already doing doing EVs I'm going
to sign up for a program out in the middle of nowhere.
Hold on a second.
This is good for you in your imagination. But your knowledge is
so weak about the ego. You're gonna collapse from this stuff. So
that's the kind of the concept we're talking about here of CES.
That's what I am. And I'm telling you the people who have a shift
those people they don't have those blunders. Just like you have a
driver just climb a mountain you have to have a trainer says pause
here. Eat. Don't Eat this. Eat this.
Right, you know that the when they when they do these long hikes they
they try they don't eat a lot of red meat. You know why?
Because it's an inefficiency regarding going to the bathroom.
Right? They don't want to they don't want your stomach to be so
heavy, right? All that stuff. So this is CS central elm was her
betta de de la Kofi attend molucca to read constantly remember that
everything bad, every sin is associated with something that you
cannot possibly commit since
and no, nothing bad happens. So remember that there is never a
point where you have reached some level. A good level where it you
never get a blowback from your sense. Doesn't matter who you are.
Right? There will be such there will be a kind of blowback.
Before we get to our guests, I'm gonna Can you read us what the
chart says?
I hope that you are reading. Yep. For the youth. I took a picture of
it. It was pretty interesting. Very nice. Okay, so the first one
is the humans. I see you you WhatsApp that to me. The human
soul, the spiritual heart. And knifes is the hedonistic self and
it has in the heart. You have enough and you have
Okay, now many times people discuss where are these? Are they
the one on the same thing? It doesn't make a difference?
Thinking about this? Let's ask this question. Doesn't make a
difference. Where is the heart? Where is the ruler? Where's the
neffs? Where is the UK? What difference does it make? Right?
It's all there. Okay.
So but it's all something people say it's different facets of the
same thing. Others say it's a whole different thing and Allah
knows best. I've personally think different facets of the same
thing.
So, now the critical self is the moment you realize that your own
self is the problem
and it has to be fixed. That is the moment you enter enough
settler worm. Now you have separated between the two I have
an insect I have a self I can examine myself critically. Third
one
enough's at a moment in
Okay, is when you have your intellect has dominated over your
your your knifes, your enough's now is like a horse that moves
exactly how the intellect tells it to move.
And that's what I said many times we are a people whose intellect
drives our ego not the other way around on our intellect and
knowledge truth.
Okay, drives our emotions, not the other way around. So that
intellect tells me love such and such because they rationally they
deserve to be loved.
Honor so and so because it deserves to be honored. Then I do
it. Hey, such and such. I love to learn how to hate it. Yeah, we
shouldn't hate certain things. Okay.
Do you like alcoholism? Do you like *? You have to hate
certain things.
Ladies and gentlemen.
We have a guests and this guests knows more than anybody else.
How the intellect has to drive the body and your neffs will say no.
But your mind has to say Keep going Keep going keep going but he
also as a trainee.
leaner. And as someone who's done it knows the levels, right?
pushing too hard, you're gonna get an overuse injury, you're gonna
get bored, you're gonna get sick of it. And if you go too little is
useless. We have with us here.
And all childhood friend made fun of me from the state of New
Jersey. He's from North Jersey. Okay, big family from North
Jersey, and, and he ended up moving around actually living in
London now lives in Turkey. But right now he's in North Jersey.
And he joins us here as our fitness correspondent.
We always got to be involved in physical fitness, even if it's 20
minutes a day.
I told you before about one 14.1 Here's the founder, and he's going
to talk to us about fitness in general and about the program at
family welcome to this if he decided nothing but facts
livestream.
Like Michelle said, so
first of all, where are you?
I am somewhere in Parsippany, I think, and how far? See I asked
him if he could come on this today. And he said no, I'm out for
a run. I said that's perfect. Right here like playing in the
park right now. So
this run of yours this specific run? How long was it? Do you count
anymore? You know, I count just 10 miles in and I have two miles
left. Okay, is this something that's a regular? Because that's a
marathon essentially? Yeah, it's
it is almost a marathon, but it's part of my regular weekly routine.
To do this once a week.
Well, I do this distance twice a week, twice a week. And that all
you do right now? No, no, I don't. I also cycle I lift weights. I
swim, I do a bunch of things. Okay. Now, in your routine, what
do you say about a person who devotes 25 minutes a day? To
physical fitness? I say that's perfect.
Will
they will absolutely get results. It's you know, it's a panel,
everything you said I was listening it exactly right. You
know, it's the person who doesn't get results is the one who starts
gets excited. Let's just say they hear I did 20 miles. And then they
go and they run 10 miles and they get injured. And that's it. Yeah.
But the the person who does 25 minutes, what ends up happening is
what you can do in those 25 minutes becomes more and more. So
you might be able to, you might be able to do one mile and 25
minutes, but then your body adapts. And then you can do two
miles. And then eventually it's not enough. And you want to do
more and more and more. And so the name of this particular game is
consistency. That is all it is. I mean, so you know me from college,
I was the least that you were the athlete. I wasn't the athlete.
Yeah, I was in. I was in computer center, you know, and living.
The overnight shift and it's an all started with one slow mile.
And but one thing I did do blushing just two things I've
always done to keep me consistent. I've always had a chef or coach.
I've always had a
chef of running a chef triathlon. Yeah, someone that would guide me
from overuse injuries from going too overboard and anything. You
know, following the whole tightening the 5% rule, you don't
go over 5% Every week,
in terms of increasing what you do. Yeah. And so the worst thing
somebody could do is
try to emulate what I'm doing now, after 17 years of doing this
consistently, yeah. One or two things are gonna happen. Are you
gonna be like, That's ridiculous. That's gotta work. Are you going
to your neffs or as I call your inner loser, will give you an
excuse not to do something? Yeah. Or you might do too much and get
hurt.
Let me ask you a question. A lot of people are very hesitant and
nervous around the idea of a mentor and a coach. Yes. So they
feel oh, he may push me too hard. Oh, I I'm an adult now. I may just
quit on him when I feel like it. Right? How did you get yourself to
really stick to the mentor? And it may have to be also the skill of
the mentor to keep you with them?
I think it's a really good question. Not every mentor, or
every coach works for everyone. You know, you have to find the one
that works for you. And so I had hired a world class, very famous
coach, but his approach didn't work with me. I mean, he was to
take domain Sukut he was still generally, you know, I knew a
mixture of general and geometric, pushy. He was too
not just pushy. He was too intense in terms of him. He was a former
Olympic athlete, and that's the only mode he understood. It
doesn't understand
than that,
you know, I have children I have a career. I have other thing on
Allah. Amazing. You see this? I don't want to cut you off. But you
guys,
you remember what I just said that prodigies don't make good dads,
prodigies, don't know what regular life is like, they don't know what
regular youth is like, they don't know what
normal life is like, right? Likewise here, you get an Olympic
athlete did nothing his whole life very entitled life. He doesn't
know what regular life is like. So he's not a good coach, at least
for regular person like ourselves.
Exactly. I mean, he,
if you missed a workout was the end of the world spring, I'm not
telling you, oh, my children are sick. He's like, that's no excuse,
yeah, and all of that. But ultimately, you find the ship, or
the coach that works for you. And the fact that you're also paying
the money. You know, we are lucky, you know,
I don't like for example, if I find an actual if I'm going to be
a movie to a chef, for example, I'm not going to pay him money,
but with these people, some of them, it's very hard to get them
to take you even as a coachee. Yeah. And they will, they will
weed things out there with people out there that they only coach
those who they believe are going to do what they say. And the other
thing is, they're generally not cheap. So you're, you're almost
feel you're you're fearing losing this person and you're paying
money. Yeah. And so
that raises the level of accountability.
And so
go ahead, do you still have a coach after all these years? I
have a coach and everything I do, whether it's swimming, whether
it's in business, whether it's spirituality, I have two things
like because I am not disciplined person by nature. I am not despite
what people think. I need two things. I need a tribe and I need
a coach. Yeah. I need a coach in Me, in Me being able to do
anything. So in everything I do, whether it's an ultra running,
triathlon, swimming, business, spiritually, I have a coaching for
Have you become a coach.
I wouldn't call professionally, I'm a coach and business. And
amateur wise, I coach, those who are trying to get into endurance
athletics, but once they reach a point, I can no longer coach them.
And I'll hand them off to an actual professional coach. I see
so so you're like a macadam what they call a mocha, mocha, someone
who introduces the person to the field. And then once you're mature
at the intermediate level, then you pass off to the real shake
after that, that's exactly I am here to get people to do things,
whether it's memorize to get their foot in the door, and being
outside fitness, health, nutrition,
and then passing them off to those Yeah, like, I'm gonna take fire to
be one. So
this, when you do all this running, most people cannot fathom
how it happens. Simply because they live a little bit
differently. Let's say someone's a school teacher. Yeah, like their
day is from 5am to 5:30am. Until 5pm, then if they have their
family and their kids, you're already it's already dark. By the
time they get five minutes, right? of free time. So how do you get
what advice you have for the person whose schedule is packed?
All the way. The first thing is unless you're Elon, yeah, you have
time i
i, in my professional side, very, very, you know, a type
entrepreneurs who have built massive businesses incredibly
busy, and they do iron. Everyone has to find I don't buy and anyone
who tells me they're busy. I asked them for their phone and I looked
at their, you know, their usage on their iPhone. I said, okay, so
based on this, you have 60 hours a week, you're looking at your phone
or 40 hours a week, you're looking at your phone, you can become an
Olympic level athlete in that time. So I whether it's a teacher,
whether
I believe everyone has time. But having having said that, I think
you know, I've always thought balance is a myth. It's very hard
to balance I believe in integration. And so for example,
my long runs genuinely include one of my children
pushing one on the stroller or pulling one like attaching a
bungee cord to my back, pulling one on the scooter
and it's one of the best times I actually interact with my children
because I'm physically I'm physically and mentally there.
Yeah. And so I believe whether a school teacher or anyone you can
make time for, for either fitness or in the case of 114 fitness and
memorization. I also think that time is
is always an excuse that is really a reflection of lack of desire.
So, as a coach, one of the best things to do in anything is the
ability to stoke desire. And the best coaches in in any realm,
whether it's sports or or shoe, is the ability to stoke within a
person, desire for the outcome. Absolutely right. And then it's
about building the habit that will inevitably produce that outcome,
rather than shooting for the outcome. And then you're like,
Alright, I got the outcome. I made it, what do I do? Now? That's a
problem, too. So how do you initially stoke that desire, and
people to get the result?
You know, I'm a big believer and, and everyone is different. But
what works for me and works for other people is to actually create
a goal. Because you know, whether it's an outcome or a goal, like
I'll give you an example, if you say,
I want to get fit.
It's really hard to change the behaviors to get fit. But if you
say, Okay, I'm getting married in six months, I want to be in good
shape before I get married. Yeah, all of a sudden, you have the
impetus to get in shape. Or
if you can do a half marathon and you've registered and you've
socially for people, the impetus, then to change the behaviors, it
becomes a lot easier. It takes away all the friction from
actually doing the work required to do it. So I'm a big believer in
setting the outcome. And then, and then from there, cornering
yourself the outcome. Exactly. Coordinate yourself. You know what
I used to drive the people that I'm big, crazy. I used to drive
them nuts. I used to announce a program, without any thought,
without any discussion. Without anything. I used to announce it
right. And will make everyone crazy. Hey, we never sat for a
discussion. We never did this, that in the other. I was like,
well, now we're stuck with it. Right? The posters out there,
right? Now we have to do it. Right.
It's the fear of the disgust of this fear of the discussion,
right? I totally am afraid of the discussion, because there's a high
likelihood that we will someone in the room will use their brain to
show everyone else how scary this is how impossible it is. And we
will leave the meeting 50% chance we're not doing the program.
Right, exactly. I mean, we are as a as an owner, right now, when we
don't believe in calls to action, just like you describe the call to
action, we have this thing it's gonna happen. Really, we wouldn't
call a call to sitting down and talking, you know, like, I always
think to myself, you know, Instagram comments.
I don't know if you can say lowest points, and you have to correct me
because I'm the furthest thing from a chef. But when he gets when
he gets the revelation, and he's terrified, and he's most arms,
Allah says, you know, come, man, you know, that's the ultimate act.
You know, don't talk Don't you know, act stand in, you know, he's
he's sitting cradled, and you think, Stan? Yeah. And so I really
believe that's when you told me you're on the run, talk. Yeah, my
initial reaction, my my inner loser. My mess was like, no, no,
no, no, I can't talk to this. You know, I'm running. I can't. And
then I caught myself. I was like, you know, I have a call to action
act. Yeah, there is one I'm trying to remember off the top of my
head. It says, suited silica.
If camo for call Robina, they suit up, then they may die at any
moment had dead comments on this concept saying that Allah will not
answer your DUA until you start acting yourself. Right, you got to
take an action,
which is one of the biggest differences between talking about
doing and actually doing that, right. So I believe personally,
that you a person needs to have a motivation. And the motivation
sometimes like the end result could be the goal or something.
But then the best, the best philosophy for an organization for
a person for a family, whatever, is that the goal should be the
habits. Absolutely, that will inevitably produce multiple
championships. Right, exactly. I always tell people, the goal of
the goal is not the goal. Yeah. The goal of the goal is the
behavior changes that you get as a personal organization to meet the
goal. Yeah. So for you, for you, for example, to be an ultra
endurance athlete, you know, run 100 Miles run 200 miles, you have
to stop things and you have to start things.
And that's where 114 came from. You know, it's like what what's
the Islamic version of a trap, one that requires you to stop and
start and I think the thing that people fear most is, at least
especially in our age as men
organization. So by if I coupled memorization of tour will no
longer sewer with what what behaviors do you have to stop? And
what behaviors do you have to start to memorize a surah? Like,
who do you have to become to become a half as in your 40s? When
it's when every Inkling in your body is telling you? No, yeah.
And it's almost like, if you tell people that that mountain, it's
too scary, but if you say to somebody actually sit down, set a
timer, right? And just listen to the same passage of Quran
listening. That's it for 15 minutes. But you do this every
single day.
How easy is that? If he's just listening, right? And then you
start getting it rolling. And then it's one suit after the next then
it's one recitation after the next. And so this is one of the
things your organization is working on. Now. Let's talk about
that. The website is one 14.1. Where are the digits here? It's o
ne.
The number 14, one for lending?
Oh, 2001 for that, Oh, 20.0. And I didn't know that dot one is a
thing. Did you invent that? No, no, I found it. Because you are a
radiologist. You're a technologist. Yes. Okay. So tell
it tell everybody what is 114 focusing on the our audience is
mainly out of England's out of Europe, out of outside of Jersey,
and they might want to be involved. So how would they get
involved? Firstly, what is it? And then how would they get involved?
Yeah, so it's, it was born, I would say, during actually a
longer run, as a lot of my ideas come from where, you know, as I
started running longer and longer distances, you know, from multiple
marathons and things like that. I started and getting into Ironman,
I think what would be semi equivalent, like, what would a
race targeting Muslims look like? And I thought, different format,
and then eventually landed on
memorization, because it's so difficult, you know, it's so
mentally difficult, it's actually not difficult. The idea of is very
difficult. It's like if you talk to somebody do Ironman I go, I'm
so scared of swimming in the lake for an hour and a half, although
ironically, it's the easiest part with
and so the idea was born. So I started thinking what the form
that being with the entry level race be, and then became what we
call the kingdom, which is memorizing sorted calf and running
three miles and be the Lexx. Next level with memorizing suit your
scene and running six miles, and then memorizing suit, El Cap,
which you mentioned, and running a half marathon, then memorizing a
little are off and running a full marathon. And then the highest
level became memorizing sort of Bukhara, and running 50 miles,
there's a secret level above that, but you unlock that by doing.
There is a higher level, recall the profits to hedge it, but
you're going to qualify only by doing the left grace. And, and you
can do it anywhere. So we have to we try to launch in new location
every year.
But you can do it virtually anywhere. Well, and we have people
in London, we have Pete, we have 30 people in India that did it
last time. And there's a way in which you summer, and a way in
which you run virtually. And what what I've tried to do is similar
to what I said in the beginning, is create a tribe of people around
you who are doing the same thing. We're encouraging you giving you
tips, keeping you accountable, expose you to people who can coach
you, etc. So it's not just creating the race, it's also
creating the content in the community to help you complete the
race and help you overcome the fears of memorization, which is
probably the biggest fear and 114 is this idea of memorization
really, really scares people. The you know, the beauty of
memorization is it doesn't take much intelligence, it just takes
diligence. And it takes a type of stubbornness. And one of the
reasons I liked about this aspect of fitness is that if you can walk
you can chances are you can walk fast, chances are you can walk
uphill, right? So it's just an and walking incline. Walking in itself
is a great exercise that will lose you a lot of weight, right? So,
hips is really no different in the same way you just move in your
legs, right? Hips, you're just repeating something. Anyone can
repeat anything. Right? It's really not that intimidating. If
you think about if you break it down to atomically what actually
are the
atoms and the protons and the neutrons hear nothing other than a
nonstop repetition of a word. Right. So I think they both go
great together. We have a lot of listeners out of London.
How can they contact the London tribe?
If you just email the there's an email on the website, and there
are people out of London that do this race. And what's happening
organically is that there are people coming together, to
run together and memorize together, so we can put you in
contact with them via WhatsApp. Okay, good. And they can contact
you on the website. 114. Yeah, yeah. And if you register, and,
again, I encourage you, if this idea is interesting to you, you
know, come register. Don't overthink it, you know, register,
we have a code right now called saba. Just use the code Saba, and
I'll give you I think 25% off nice. And it will expose you
expose you to a higher community of people who are memorizing this
a WhatsApp group with people who are memorizing and running and
encouraging each other. We have a it's really amazing. I mean, I'll
give you an example. There's one story of a surgical residents out
of Maryland. We just found out about the reason why the web, and
he finished a 30 hour, he finished a 30 hour surgical shift. Then he
ran the 50 Miles Whoa, he ran the 50 miles and and in when he said
the buckler I think had three mistakes and all the whole
Bukhara, but the beauty of it was it didn't think he could do it. So
other people from Maryland and 114 found out where he was, drove to
him and paste him to the finish. Wow. You know, there's, there's a
young lady who's 13, I believe, will memorize logoff and man the
marathon. Wow. And so there's 13 Oh, okay. So, yeah. And so. And
then there are, you know, my father who's 81, who just walked
it. I mean, there's you have, you have the talent, and you have the
elite athletes, and you have the young folks, you know, you have
people who are rocking it, you don't necessarily have to run it.
Yeah.
But showing up is a big deal. That's it showing up showing up.
And I think there's there's value to the impetuous nature of some
people that don't want to have a discussion and want action. And
they're there. You gotta be very fraid of thinking. Because
thinking you will your mind your knifes will use your brain to
think you out of action. And that's why thinking is a problem.
Right? And
thinking in that location, in that time is a problem. Now, let me ask
you another controversial question. Sure. Treadmill versus
being out in the road? Always out on the road.
But yeah, I'll tell you why. I just think, can you hear me? Yeah,
we got
some interesting, I'm getting a call from Chef. Yes. And while I'm
talking to Chef shed
his older brother, by the way, for those who may not have realized
that from the name, but yes, in fact, he is always on celebrate
mercy. He's from New Jersey, North Jersey, and his organization is
called prophetic living. And this is his older brother.
Okay, talk to me. So I believe, yeah, we are a tradition that
needs to be outside, that, you know, it's a carousel that we're
always inside, you know, we, you know, my shoes, that revelation
came in the mountains, that's why the logo of 114 is the mountains
of the Quran in the middle. And whenever I am down, whenever I am
dressed, when I always go out, you know, I'm always out. And so I'm a
big believer that being home is, you know, like the Bedouin say,
the graves of the living. So I was always err on the side of being
outside and being in nature, I feel better. I and ideally with
other people, you know, and now having said that, I do like the
treadmill for some trackwork
work. You know, you get you get faster by doing intervals of hard
and easy Oh, I should, it should never be in the middle as opposed
to us as you know, as a people or people in the middle. You should
never train in the middle. You should oscillate between very easy
and very hard. And so when you when you're doing those kinds of
efforts, where you're running intensely for three minutes and
then walking for three minutes to recover. treadmills really good
for that.
When I'm babysitting, you know, or I'm with my children, obviously
treadmill and I have to watch all the children
Then the treadmill becomes ideal because so you're hoping around.
Yeah. Mm hmm. And it's also for inclement weather, inclement
weather, although even inclement weather like to be out, you know,
and that's a function of training in the UK, you know, there is no,
they don't say there's no bad weather, just bad. Bad clothing
option. Yeah. Let me ask you this. If someone did, treadmill, and out
in the road, what's the percentage of the tread itself removing the
benefit from the run? Like, is it removing 10% or 40%? The rule of
thumb with the treadmill if you want to mimic the road is to keep
it on the incline of one at the very least. Okay, okay. Yeah. And
so, that kind of, I think offsets the difference. Okay. I see. Good,
good, good. All right. This has been very good. Now the event is
September,
September, this, the virtual event is September 16, and 17. For those
New Jersey. There's one, you know, there's like a flagship race in
North Jersey, which we're opening you're gonna show up at coming on
September 16. It's on my schedule. Okay, fantastic. Yeah. And then.
So it's the Quran days on Saturday, and then the runs on
Sunday. But you can do it virtually anywhere in the world.
And you'll see, there'll be a bunch of people doing it in Turkey
and Egypt and Dubai and Exodus. And then there's another in person
race in Maryland in October.
So in person is September 17. Yeah, it's the Quran day where we
have like, lectures on Quran, it's really fantastic, beautiful day
plus the test is on Saturday, then the runs on Sunday, and your score
is a combined score of both. We have a system that for example,
there's like an almost semi elite athlete last year that loss to a
normal person because normal person had perfect to smear. Oh,
you keep score. Oh, no, there's a score. And there's winners. And
there's everything. I didn't realize that okay. Oh, yeah. No,
they're not there are people who are in it to win it, you know,
it's really good. And so you you, you get a combat, you got a Quran
score, a running score, which is your time, and the combination of
both gives you your 114 score. Oh, I see. I see. That's pretty smart.
That's very smart. And the test is you're out of 100 and then you
till you lose points for the test Mia right for something very exact
something. And then
and then the the fastest the running then the numbers is easy,
because that's basically exactly the fastest one. Okay, you have a
whole system that scores and stack ranks people and there are people
who care a lot about that. And there are people who just want to
show up. Yeah, which is just in the state bar. And the one thing
we say is that even if you have half the sort of memorize, still
show up, don't let perfection be the enemy of good come even if you
have it if you're gonna walk it and you'll have a fourth of the
sort of memory still come. Yeah, yeah. All right. Very good. I hope
to see people there. And I hope that our guys here on on the live
stream. If you want to be part of this go to one. There are a lot of
people out of London. Okay, doing this. There are a lot of people so
in London, we need to hook you up with the crema Foundation. They
love this kind of thing, right? They're all about and we need to
hook you up with unser shake on so
I lived there for 12 years. I speak London. Yeah. So he lived
there in London. So if you are out of London, if you know Schiff,
unsought, if you know, the Karima foundation guys, send this their
way. I'm telling you, they will love this kind of thing, because
they're practical organizations that want to engage people at a
level that is very useful for their life. More so than just
theory. Alright, so
I guess we're gonna have footage and we're gonna update now I'm
stuck now because I just said it. We're gonna have footage. I'll
take my family, their dog get the footage of us running, right? And
then we put me if it works out, we'll put on the live stream. So
you get the evidence, Ducati evidence that we did it. Right,
Daisy. Great. All right, so we'll let you get back to your the next
10 Miles inshallah.
And we'll have you on every once in a while as a fitness
correspondent. John, I'd love
to thank you so much.
All right. All right. Let's get his picture on the thumbnail to
tell the thumbnail guys put his picture on there. They're probably
going to want to clip it out and put it for their organization,
right.
One to spread the news just to get everybody
on board with this. And to to me
It could happen because, you know, we got to stay busy. And we got to
stay healthy. And, and especially in this day and age the whole
world is sitting. I used to think only the Allamah are sitting. No,
everyone's sitting. It is sitting everyone's sitting.
Speaking of action, we have a whole nother segment here. It's
not a long segment, but listen to this.
Can you shout out lock Cosina and the back to school drive. Okay.
Go to lock Cosina 367 dot o RG everybody. Lock Cosina 367 dot
orgy. And if you're on Instagram go to at Loc Cosina 367. Why is
367 Is it a special verse in the Quran? It is secret. Sufi
numerology is the address of the building. 367 is the address of
the building block. Christina is a very common name. It just means
the kitchen in Spanish, okay. And the kitchen is a place where all
good things happen. Right? Think about this. Hey, the good things
happen to the good food is made. Food is eaten. Food is shared
conversations happen. discussion happens. We transmit our beliefs,
our politics, our manners, and a lot of knowledge to our children.
Were at the kitchen table. How about edit? Most adab revolve
around food.
Right? The Edit of sharing the edit of not overeating, the edit
of cleaning your mouth. Don't eat what your mouthful with Adam
always come submission. Right? And for the parent, the kitchen is a
place of learning sub. Right? Because you got to learn, hold on,
I can't correct 10 out of 10 things, right? That kid's gonna go
crazy. I got to have sub, pick your battles. You got to learn how
to engage everyone at the table. The kitchen is a place where you
know if something's troubling somebody because if someone's not
talking, right,
if someone's not eating, you know something's wrong. The kitchen is
where the therapy begins, right? It's where you get to know the
state of everybody else. The kitchen is one of the most the
it's one of the most wonderful things and one of the most
wonderful feelings. So that's why we call it that. And our goal by
2030 in the late hours, seven days a week dinners, it's gonna be a
big team is gonna be a stretch, a sturdy building, and be used seven
days a week. And I think we're gonna cap it off at 100 people a
week. Right? We have to cap it off.
150 So Han Allah yesterday, we we burst through our past record with
150 human beings came to us
to get a bite of food Subhanallah the man this all started way back
in the year 2016 I believe, where we would go out and we I'm telling
you we started with 10 hamburgers. We went off and it was after vicar
night. And I knew we want to do it.
And I'm like Alright, everyone. I took a goofy off someone's head.
And I said, Everyone put empty your pockets in this. We're gonna
go
and work right after this thick or we're going to go out down and
we're going to buy a bunch of hamburgers, and we're going to
hand them out. And we did that was cold. It was January I think it
was December. It was cold. We didn't know we were doing was
walking around looking for homeless people.
Eventually, after a few months of that, we felt we got into a
groove. And that's the beauty of and we still do this. And us and
Harris still do this. Where there's a corner between the
Walgreens and the park in New Brunswick and Sam's chickens on
the other side. Hello. And
and that we that's our area. And Ennis would open up his truck.
Blast then people would come we give out the food. Right? And
certain families in the community. They would, they would they would
cook their food and they would pour in a container like just
three or four or five containers. That's it. Right? That means like
imagine you had an extra kid in the house. Just that but you do
that every day that's five containers you drop it off at
Joomla
and as comes gets from Joomla and now they do and they and they go
do the run. And I said guys eventually we want to bring the
people to us, rather than coming out is not efficient. We didn't
have a walk we'd have a building and bring the people to us and
that's what we do now net and Masha Allah we hit another
milestone and other record 150 people came to the Cosina lasts
last night,
masha Allah, and we want to replicate the seven days a week,
seven days a week.
All right every night there's no excuse for anyone to go hungry in
this area when Muslims are there. That's what the mentality should
be.
Muslims are here. No one's go hungry. That's that's how we
should be. We haven't done our job in the United States if that's the
case, because we all came here, not as blue collar laborers like
England, not as people who are miskeen themselves. In England. We
came here as engineers and doctors and lawyers, talking about my
generation Muslims have been or my parents generation, Muslims have
been there before us them right. And there have been Muslims here
before that. But talking about our generation, our culture, the
dominant culture of Muslims today in America is this is that you
came here, you got highly educated, and you got highly
wealthy. If that's if that's even an expression. It's disgusting.
The concept that we have a dean that is all about feeding.
Where there is a masjid, if there is an
impoverished part of town within five miles, it should be the
imperative of that Masjid. To buy a little property. Let's buy a
shack. Seriously, just buy a shack, rent it out, even
buy a shack, you got these mega masajid I'm telling you, I go to
some of these places. Right? And I tell them, You disgust me. You
literally disgust me. Right? Because it's a mega, it's a court
the chandelier by itself. If you sold these three chandeliers, you
buy a house in the hood.
In the poor part of town, right? Buy a house there. Every one of
you, in the families in this mosque every day, or at least once
a week. Get one container. That's it just one container. And fill it
a container this big. Fill it and cover it you can buy all the
containers from amazon for like $3
and bring it to the masjid every friday every friday. One volunteer
goes takes it to the house. And then it's distributed. Right? So
easy. Allah was going to bless you if you do this.
We only have time for one or two questions, ladies and gentlemen.
So here we go.
We got some people in Houston as out of the question thrown
outside. Yeah, of course. But is it going to be cold? That hot in
September? That's my question in Texas. Is it that hot in
September? That's my question.
Because September should things are so hot in the beginning, but
towards the end, maybe they're cooled off.
The hard part is taking action 100% That's why you got to do it
without thinking. It's almost like that shaytaan is going to come
when you give charity the province I said and said 70 shades on will
come and stop you.
How are they going to stop you? They're going to give you rational
reasons or seemingly rational reasons not to give sadaqa Okay.
I'll say it again. If there is a mega masjid, and you have an
impoverished part of town five miles away.
You disgust me. You are disgusting. You are selfish.
For 60,000 bucks, you could rent a place you could buy a place.
Right? Put their Mega masjids You disgust me? That's the timestamp.
Okay? Because it's selfish. You're selfish, right? stomachs walking
around full. And the prophets I send them said your neighbor's
stomach is empty. Okay. It is not so hard. We will as Muslims. I'm
telling you
make a humongous difference
in the country. If we just act upon this one thing. Every masters
have to have a little soup kitchen.
It's not that hard. Right? They said oh, how do you register?
Register? Register? What? Oh, what is this thing that it's a house
invitation. I own a house and it's an invitation. I don't have to
register for this. Right? I don't I don't need to. I don't need to
register for this. Oh, are you a registered soup kitchen? That's
what you're worried about? That's what you're worried about?
No, I own a home. Safina foundation owns a home and we're
having a dinner party. What's wrong with that? I don't need a
registration for this. And you're worried. See, I'm telling you
shaytaan comes and messes with people's head. That's what you're
worried about. Are you officially registered to call yourself a soup
kitchen? Oh, wait, can you show me somewhere in the archives of the
news that someone went to jail by calling itself a soup kitchen when
it was officially registered as a soup kitchen? Please.
Okay, fine. Call it something whatever you want to call them.
Tips for someone who's suicidal and depressed. Oh in Nola. You
wouldn't know that. Maybe you called contact the clinical center
contact the Legal Center.
or if you're suicidal, depressed, and maybe even contact 911 like
you need to protect yourself from yourself. Okay?
Oh my goodness Martinelli has got it down if you had a soup kitchen
and a basketball court games over games over
games over that is perfect. Okay.
You know that some people say oh you say this stuff you disgust me
it's harsh. It's rude. It's not that's just how we are over here.
It's not harsh or rude
it's facts right? And people got to move well, at least we got your
attention to the facts right
Can you get
my face on the thumbnail? Can you tell them we didn't you know that
we don't even know who's making the thumbnails. Me and Omar
sitting here and it's getting uploaded, huh?
Is it no one
would have a good picture
look him up.
Or just take a screenshot
No, they never came up.
I read Warren Buffett was like that he used to come home and
literally step over his crying child and go into work mode.
I don't know what that's all about that comment the context. But from
J Perez who is a regular commenter here. But
you know, workaholics is very dangerous thing. You know that
workaholic is very dangerous thing. All bad did Footloose.
That's what they are all bad of Footloose. They worshippers of
money. Like I love the concept of productivity is one thing, but
productivity, who's telling us what's valuable? Right?
Who is telling us what's valuable, like I don't like to waste a
moment of time is it disgusts me to waste time. Right? Even rest is
calculated, rest is calculated. Even downtime is calculated as a
benefit with your family or something.
It's the question is productivity according to whom? Allah dunya or
Allah Allah and Allah is one who tells us what's valuable and if
somebody imagines that,
like human contact is not the most valuable thing, they're they're
lying to you. human context is one of the most valuable things
especially your family context. That's the most valuable thing you
get out of the billion dollar in the bank but
if your immediate human relations your family your wife, your child,
your husband, your spouse, your kids your parents have you have a
cell relationship with them then that money means nothing you can't
even enjoy it
what do we got from Instagram read me anything from Instagram because
I can't see it here
in Cali heading to stay tuned for opening day question. What is the
best approach to finding a chef as a mentor?
The best approach to finding a chef is to constantly and
consistently go to different gatherings read different books
watch different videos just expose yourself
to schewe.
Allah will guide you to what is best for you
i for when it comes to fitness was targeting a mentor I thought will
be best for me.
Never answered me right he promised me and everything but he
never answered me another one
we just it just happened and boom got a mentor now or coach
Todd had Alma tells us there's some sad news.
Pakistani boy killed himself over the Niagara Falls
that's very sad news may Allah Tala you forgive him for that and
entering him its agenda. Okay, because it is a sin. He's not
damned to * forever. for committing suicide. So we have to
ask ALLAH forgive him and enter him into Jana.
Okay. Let me read this question here this comment that says
whereas say here is about
it was about these masajid getting soup kitchens. Can we visit La
cuisine on Wednesday and try to replicate it back home? Yes. Sati
is here. You can visit it Wednesday.
Okay, five, six o'clock doors open.
Come earlier at 530 and you can help volunteer, right volunteers
are handpicked. But you can observe at least you can observe
how they do it.
Why do I say volunteers are handpicked because volunteers of
the soup kitchen must also have the capacity to give Dawa and to
teach. Just like the 114 is like running and it's half Quran. This
is not a secular soup kitchen said it wants to say it a million times
it is soup kitchen with the intent of Dawa all of our volunteers and
some have snuck in. Without me knowing, right?
But that's okay. The volunteers, the main people, the leadership
must have the vision of Dawa and must have the ability to teach
people the basics of Islam.
Okay,
will I be at the event tomorrow at 8pm? Yes, I will be Islam in Japan
Jolla. Question on the Hadith about its mid being good for the
eyes and hair growth. What type of hair are we talking about? The
eyelashes. The prophets. I said them said that when you put the
black coat
on your eyes, it's good for
the eyes and the growth of the eyelashes. And it's something to
be done at the night in the nighttime and washed off in the
daytime.
Okay,
Arman Rashad hamdulillah my Masjid has a local soup kitchen. Good.
This is our role in America. Forget this politics. I'm telling
you. What good has come from it. Tell me what good has come from
maybe someone can cite stories here and there.
Right? Oh, Muslims in politics, Muslims in sports, Muslims in
Hollywood.
Islam, it's a religion, it's a granular religion, it means it
comes for the everyday person. And it comes for everyday things
right? That's what's going to make the difference. Or Islam in
America is when the everyday people
are just 10% different than everybody else in the sense of
what they're doing. Right? Just extract 10% from somebody 5% from
somebody even 1% right but from a million people all of a sudden you
have a massive difference whereas the big things that catch your
attention Muslims in this Muslims in that Muslims in this Muslims in
that it doesn't permanently move the needle it just slightly. Okay,
we have a Muslim who won the Olympics.
So it's fleeting. But the true difference that will make Islam in
America something
that will transform the country is when every single Muslim is like
2% a contributor. That's what we need.
What is m Hamza saying on Instagram Omar?
What is the Hadith regarding addicts not entering gender and is
it authentic? The addict not entering Jana? No, I never that's
it may be there may be a hadith on that. I can't tell you. There's no
Hadith on that. But the addict addiction does not remove one from
Islam. Therefore there is the ability for them to be forgiven.
Oh, gee, Muslim, how can I start liquidating in my city, I'm not
affiliated with any ministry. Here's how you do it. You get a
group of friends together. You say Hey, everyone, give me five bucks.
And let's go. Okay, now, if you if she's a Muslim, you need the guys
to go into these neighborhoods if they're not good neighborhoods,
but you can kick it off. And you could be the leader by saying
everyone give up kick up five bucks in the beginning just like
that right? Every Friday so and so we'll go deliver the food and get
your son your get your husband you get your
whoever to go. And sometimes some sisters have gone with us to see
what's going on in the daytime when it was safe because sometimes
there's a lot of drunks, there's a lot of bad things going on at
nighttime. Even in the daytime, a lot of high people. So you go to
the area that is filled with the Pokhara walking around in the
street.
And you handle some burgers, or you make food but here's the
thing. You corner yourself into a schedule every Friday, every
Friday. I don't care what happens every Friday we're going out and
someone is taking food from us. Whether that be a big tray, or
many little trays, or you buy sandwiches which is inefficient,
cost too much money. The best thing is to go out and make the
food and at home trays. Some pasta, but sorry, not a big tray
because that's not efficiently many little trays. Right? So you
make the vat of food or the pot of food or whatever and you put it in
little trays.
You buy the trays from amazon for like three bucks. You get trays
for two months, right little plastic containers like to go
containers at a restaurant
345 10 That's it, but it has to be every Friday. cannot miss a
Friday. cannot miss a Friday and the row
As the food runs when we used to do them to three minutes,
sometimes sometimes literally three minutes we walk in, there's
guys with their take the foot, boom, we leave. But when you do it
every single Friday, the snowball grows. Right that's how it works.
If a family offers me share in a Hillel business but you fear the
business was funded by money from Ribault is this valid reasons to
decline it? Yes, it is. If the contract to start the business was
invalid, but if the contract to start the business was cash that
someone brought in and there is a possibility that that cash could
be also be held? It's mixed money, then you could take the business
okay. And if you don't want the business Give it to me I'll take
half the business go
what is the Hadith regarding addicts monitoring? Jana? We
answered that one, please tell us the procedure start like a scene
or massage. That's how you do it. So Oh, my Madame.
Madame, you heard just rewind three minutes. And that's where
that's what you can get that the answer to your question. It starts
by us going to them. Okay. When people see this after for five
years, we don't come for five years here, right? of just doing
that.
Then someone swooped in and said we'll get you get we're giving you
guys a property. And they paid the downpayment,
the close and then and then we
go took over after that.
This is this is this is if you ask me a vision for Muslims in
America, it'd be too simple. People, people will think it's not
a vision, it is a vision. And it's the right vision. And this works
gonna work Islam as a granular religion changes granular when
regular guys can do it. Regular women can do it, regular human
beings can do it busy people can do it.
But now you're setting it. It's happening by millions upon
millions of people are doing this behavior.
That's where you're gonna have changed, it's changed is not going
to come by a few people getting someone elected to a state
Congress or something.
Someone said, Well, why are you so down about that? I said, because
why don't we go look, if you think that Muslims getting Muslims in
politics is going to change the situation? Then why aren't the
Muslim countries the best countries? Right? Go to Pakistan,
all governments Muslim? Where did it get them? Go to? Egypt, all
governments Muslim? Where did it get them?
Right?
I'm down on it. When people put this as this is the goal to
celebrate? Like, this is the big I just don't see it. I don't buy it.
It doesn't mean I'm 100% right about it. And that doesn't mean
I'm looking at every perspective on it doesn't mean that the person
who has an opposite opinion isn't correct.
It's just my
take on it. versus asking
advice for someone to suicide on depressed if you want to repeat
advice for someone suicidal and depressed, pick up the phone right
now dial 911 Let them take custody of you so you don't hurt yourself.
I believe that's the case. If you're suicidal, you cannot trust
yourself. Call 911 or if you if you put on this in the in the chat
where you're located. We'll call 911 for you because we're
obligated to by law.
If anyone by morals and by law, if anyone tells you they're suicidal.
You know that we're obligated as Masjid employees, right? If
someone comes to the mosque and says I got bruised my husband hit
me. I'm sorry. You told me that I have to call the police. No, I
have to by law. Right? If someone says I'm suicidal, well, you told
me it's too late. I don't care what you say to me next 911 Come
take this person. They can't guard them. They cannot be trusted with
themselves.
Put them on suicide watch. So if you contact us with this, we can
do it for you. If you don't want to contact nine one we'll call 911
for you.
Most of them's like my unit Dina Chishti introduced free food
and lodging to the concept of South Asia as a means of Tao
J Perez says
when you come home it should be met you should meet your families
immediately and not neglect them to go to work right away.
Okay
what does it Why do Does anyone ever say that the sad say the
Quran we are claimed that the machetes and metodi say Quran is
created we say no the Arabic language is created. Okay? And
those word of Allah is the word His Word with himself with no
sounds, letters, languages, or beginning or end
and it is pre eternal with him, that is Al Kalam and Neff see his
speech within himself before it was ever put on the low al muffles
before the Arabic language was ever created, and then is also his
speech and it is the Quran and is the word of Allah. Okay, when that
kind of Neff see is in a way that can be recited in the Arabic
language or the Hebrew language if it was the Torah, or the I think
they say Syriac if it was the Bible and all the other languages
of revelation that is Allah's Kalam love the
and what is between the bonds of the Quran is Allah's word.
While I say I hadn't fee asleep Turkey, he gasp and no human being
has anything to do with the Quran.
The construction of Allah's words, alright or the putting together
Allah's words, but it is Kalam. It is his speech within himself
before the creation of the Arabic language and before the creation
of the pen and before the creation of the low.
And then when it is that Kalam is in a mode that can be recited in a
created language, we call that Al Kalam will love the the uttered
speech of Allah.
It's very clear, right, Omar? Yeah. If you say nothing instead
because love is like, color monogamy. It's like, I don't know
if they say that exactly. But like when they refer to the brands like
composition composed. They prefer because like, love is like
something that's coming out. Yeah. You mean maturity? Or maturity?
Yeah. No, not me. Because it was written in the law had my foot
right? Yes. Mason Haix. Own a minivan by burgers from circus
restaurant. Deliver them to people. Thank you, Mason Haix.
Where are you from? Because you figured it out. Go to your
friend's next time you're hanging out with your buddies. Say
everyone pitching five bucks. Right? Then guess what's gonna
happen after a few weeks?
Why don't we just start a nonprofit? Why? Because you guys
are pitching five bucks. At least you get a tax exemption from that.
Right?
Okay. And then, but you got to prove yourself first. Right? Prove
yourself first do it consistently for quite a while. Every Friday
I'm doing this from this hour to this hour. Okay, what happens?
Why does some scholars
not allow digital piracy?
It is an understanding today that
there is harm if we pirate the works of scholars and just take
the PDF and not buy the book. Because it's it's a harm right
now.
Melody 21 says if a per if if you get lack of response from a person
or a teacher, does that mean that they're not for you? Well, if you
are persistent, and they persistently don't answer you
ever, and they're not benefiting you at all, then you can't take
them as a teacher because the they're not talking to you. But
they don't respond to you once or twice. No. You need to also be
persistent.
And there are teachers who ignore the first knock on the door. They
just ignore it. Because they want persistent they want you to have
strength, right?
How long would it be until you notice benefits of sin addiction?
abstention immediately.
Okay, you will notice the benefits when you are not committing some
kind of sin you should feel on your conscience at least that you
are no longer displeasing Allah.
All right, what if you have a low tolerance to sins, but I end up
hating sinners for committing sins. Now we shouldn't hate the
people who fall into things we should hate the people who are
happy and love those things.
That is the person who is an enemy to goodness. Someone who loves
these things. What do you what was the difference? A guy who was in
need of money. He goes into a little 711 puts his gun in the air
says empty the register takes 250 bucks and leaves then gets caught.
Two guys do this one guy gets caught puts his head down and says
I screwed up. I did something bad. I'm sorry. Other guys laugh and
I'm happy I would do it again. Right? Is there a difference? Of
course, difference big difference
you do a one on one podcast for people that want to learn. Yeah,
we can try to do it too. So one on one podcast and Shawn What about
doing the soup kitchen only in the wintertime? I know I disagree with
that because you lose your momentum. It's got to be every
week.
Can you turn on automatic captions? I don't know how to do
that. Maybe Oh my nose.
Inaccurate I think I've done Wait.
Can you suggest a path for non
Arabs to learn Arabic Yes, very easily ArcView dot o RG right? We

eighth year of work, right?
Eight years.
So it's not everyone's not going to start like this.
And that's the thing, if you have the stomach and you have the
ability to tolerate the, the the simplicity of something, the glory
free nature of a task, you'll succeed. But if someone you know
only wants to see the end result and wants that right away, then
don't don't go for that. Alright, and then what's the question for
en en? What is nns question that they said I skipped
Oh no, no, I'm not answering that. I get into that.
Most of us in the subcontinent have a longer

Desi Muslim should support things like law Cosina because their

apply to work in hair transplantation? Yes, you make
hair transplantation is permitted in some of the hitmen for a bit
and others. Because some schools say that you cannot benefit from
yourself, your body your body is not a source of benefit. In other
words, you can't like be take part of my body put it another part.
However, others have said no, it is because to lose hair. It's IBE
it's a flaw in the body. It's it's something that does not how Allah
created people, Allah created you with the head of hair. So if you
lose it, you are permitted to put it back right? So there is
difference within it because there's a difference of opinion.
You may work there and you may help people. You have a full head
of hair and consider that even charitable work to like it's a
good deed.
The Malkia were against it. The high nebula were for it. Right
probably the chef it would also be permissive of it. I don't know
what the 100 thieves would say but there's 50 left it's a new matter
to
what does it mean that why was he memorable? Clary exiled out of his
city he was exiled because an extremist group there were not
extremists group but on this issue, they were extreme and it
was his own one of his previous teachers. Okay.
Abu Mohammed Al, what is it? His name is always forgotten
Abu Mohammed
something with a val or Allah. But anyway, he would go so extreme to
say the Quran has not created that he would even say that your
recitation of the Quran is not created.
which contradicts the Quran. Allah says Calaca como Mata Malone as
though holy Thank you. Oh my god, I'm got it.
Everyone Mohammed Abdullah Ali,
and inside Makati. Imam Bukhari only mentioned same as Abu
Mohammed. This is an Abraham so that people know that he's not
endorsing his innovation that is an innovation. You're directly
contradicting the Quran when Allah says halacha como met someone when
He created you and what you do. And you now turn around and say
that the your recitation of the Quran is not created. And this is
an example as
called the Ayyad says the littoralis are people who wanted
to preserve the religion, but ended up stepping on other
foundations of the religion in order to protect the religion
called the Ayyad. When he speaks about the the literal lists,
this is what he says about them. He says they sought to protect the
religion from one innovation, but they ended up committing another
innovation or you know, rejecting something else that needed to
reject. That's his analysis of the innovators. The literalist
If we don't we're not literally this
our 40 Day had damn after relative dies from the tradition? Not
necessarily No, it's not necessarily there's nothing from
the Sunnah. There's nothing from fic that to do the 40 day cuts and
yet at the same time, if it's a gathering, and it's the gathering
in itself, there's nothing wrong with it and you do if so up, do
you give to the good deeds to that person? That in itself also what
is an innovation is to say that the 40 is a sadhana whether you
did on the 13th now does somebody did some Willie have some more
cash offer about the 40 days allow them but it still wouldn't be 100
for us, in the sense that we would not say this is a sunnah This is
special day. That stuff we won't say however, the concept of
gathering giving sadaqa and food and reciting the Quran and making
dua and doing a Salah so up to the person is permitted and you get
good deeds for that. It's just the belief about the 40 days has no
foundation
from Quran or Hadith.
Kept Muslim says how to be motivated to continue a better at
home after come back from the Masjid. Sometimes the home and the
masjid there are two different vibes and you should accept that
and be happy with that right masjid, I'm able to do one thing
because the environment suits me at home, the environment doesn't
suit you the same way the masjid everyone's supporting you in the
masjid. To do a bed the environment supports you. So don't
try to go against the grain. If you want to do a budget in the
message in your home, create a little mosque in your home create
a room that nothing happens in this home except Salah and
recitation of Quran but all the Messiah if there and anytime you
want to pray go there if your big house is big enough, but don't
also overdo yourself and make yourself fail.
Go
because you're trying to do something in environment that
doesn't work.
Especially a big home with a lot of people it's not the environment
for serious action.
Right so environment is really important.
Who is mm hmm tough does anyone have the biggest
