Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim Al hamdu lillah wa Salatu was Salam

00:00:04 --> 00:00:08

ala Rasulillah. While early he was up be human Well, ladies and

00:00:08 --> 00:00:12

gentlemen, welcome to the Safina society nothing but facts live

00:00:12 --> 00:00:18

stream on a cloudy Thursday in the great state of New Jersey. People

00:00:18 --> 00:00:20

all over the world. They know the weather forecast in New Jersey

00:00:20 --> 00:00:23

every day, Monday through Thursday, because that's what we

00:00:23 --> 00:00:26

always start off with. You got to have a context. Gotta get set the

00:00:26 --> 00:00:30

setting to me. Weather is so important. I mean, Sun is

00:00:30 --> 00:00:32

important. Having a cloudy day, every once in a while is good,

00:00:32 --> 00:00:35

too. Because it makes you appreciate the sun. I remember

00:00:35 --> 00:00:38

being with a semicolon and may Allah have mercy on him. Say, man,

00:00:38 --> 00:00:42

you guys so lucky out there out here in the Bay Area. It's like 75

00:00:42 --> 00:00:46

degrees every day sun's out. And he's like, yeah, man, it's so

00:00:46 --> 00:00:50

boring. It's like everyday sun, Sunny and 75 degrees Subhanallah

00:00:50 --> 00:00:50

human nature.

00:00:52 --> 00:00:52

It just

00:00:53 --> 00:00:57

you have to have change. And that's what I love about this

00:00:57 --> 00:01:01

area. Because right around now, I think everyone in the tri state

00:01:01 --> 00:01:03

area would agree with me right around now you go outside and

00:01:03 --> 00:01:08

like, oh, it's like a little bit crisper today, right? Like late

00:01:08 --> 00:01:14

yesterday afternoon, around four or five 6pm. I went outside. And I

00:01:14 --> 00:01:20

felt like the weather is just slightly crisper cooler than ever

00:01:20 --> 00:01:24

before. Hey, oz, if you come back up, can you fill up Poland spring

00:01:24 --> 00:01:26

bottle or something for these poor plants out here?

00:01:29 --> 00:01:31

Also, so that I know what he thinks they're fakes. You know,

00:01:31 --> 00:01:34

people think they're fakes. They're not fakes. They're just

00:01:34 --> 00:01:36

taken care of, they're watered every other day.

00:01:39 --> 00:01:44

But you start feeling that cool weather. And if you live long

00:01:44 --> 00:01:48

enough, you realize that cool weather, MagLev is in a little bit

00:01:48 --> 00:01:53

earlier. That means schools right around the corner, that means get

00:01:53 --> 00:01:57

new shoes, get new bookbag new classmates, new teachers, all that

00:01:57 --> 00:02:02

wonderful feeling of the beginning of the school year. And I always

00:02:02 --> 00:02:06

love the beginning of the school year, right? And first marking

00:02:06 --> 00:02:09

period, I always rocked it and I was like, my notes are ready, my

00:02:09 --> 00:02:12

schedule is ready, my habits are perfect. My bed is made,

00:02:12 --> 00:02:15

everything was good. By the second marking period, I started getting

00:02:15 --> 00:02:19

bored of the whole thing. That's the problem. slide a little bit by

00:02:19 --> 00:02:22

third marking period, you drag through the third marking period

00:02:22 --> 00:02:25

because you know that third marking period is in the dog.

00:02:25 --> 00:02:31

Those rough days of February of March is the mid year break has

00:02:31 --> 00:02:38

set in and finished January. Right in American psyche. It's it's

00:02:38 --> 00:02:41

Thanksgiving as a wonderful time of year then the middle of the

00:02:41 --> 00:02:47

year. That's that winter break is the best. And then coming back,

00:02:47 --> 00:02:49

there's only one thing in the American psyche to look forward to

00:02:49 --> 00:02:51

if you're into that thing, which is the Superbowl.

00:02:52 --> 00:02:55

You know why the Superbowl was so successful in America because

00:02:55 --> 00:02:59

everything is dead at that time. Nothing is important. Nothing is

00:02:59 --> 00:03:03

happening at that time. They actually dominate. So but I never

00:03:03 --> 00:03:07

used to really care about suitable until my friends would invite me

00:03:07 --> 00:03:11

to these parties. And they were like my old friends. And I'm like,

00:03:11 --> 00:03:15

I'm talking about him. I'm going to this nonsense, right? And then

00:03:15 --> 00:03:18

it would be a family affair. Oh, let's bring the kids we have some

00:03:18 --> 00:03:22

food. We got some sandwiches, let the you know the wives get

00:03:22 --> 00:03:25

together as friends. All right, fine. I go there and I'm not

00:03:25 --> 00:03:28

paying attention at all. Okay, but eventually grew on me,

00:03:28 --> 00:03:31

unfortunately, unfortunately, grew on me, right. And I started

00:03:31 --> 00:03:34

because now I'd like you're the son your son's watch and your kids

00:03:34 --> 00:03:37

are watching. His friends are watching. So it becomes just a

00:03:37 --> 00:03:42

bonding thing. In any event, January, February, March, those

00:03:42 --> 00:03:45

are the rough, roughest time of the year, in my opinion, because

00:03:46 --> 00:03:48

days are short, weather's gloomy.

00:03:49 --> 00:03:53

Third marking period I always just like I don't want I'm, I need

00:03:53 --> 00:03:56

either this. I can't do this. Right. I was never great in the

00:03:56 --> 00:04:00

third marking period. But now, third marking period ends.

00:04:01 --> 00:04:06

Summer springs in the air. And once you feel that the spring is

00:04:06 --> 00:04:08

in there. All of a sudden, everything's rejuvenated. I always

00:04:08 --> 00:04:12

finished off really strong. Literally, if you go to my school

00:04:12 --> 00:04:13

report cards

00:04:14 --> 00:04:18

every single year, it's the same thing. Right? Eight, it's a

00:04:18 --> 00:04:23

checkmark a reverse. It's like a reverse checkmark. Right. Anyway,

00:04:23 --> 00:04:25

what do you care about my schooling, but I'm just saying

00:04:25 --> 00:04:28

this is the way things are in the east coast. It's about to get

00:04:28 --> 00:04:32

really nice. The fall is such a beautiful season. If you live up.

00:04:33 --> 00:04:36

We have a student named Maya hab lives up in the Massachusetts

00:04:36 --> 00:04:40

area. She's not only a young girl, her and her family, they're

00:04:40 --> 00:04:44

they're part of ArcView and this year ArcView is going to be really

00:04:44 --> 00:04:48

good. Go learn about it and take the classes. Okay.

00:04:51 --> 00:04:57

And today, we're beyond going into that arc view. We always start in

00:04:57 --> 00:04:59

mid September. We let the school year start and school

00:05:00 --> 00:05:03

your role and everyone get into the school year then we start our

00:05:03 --> 00:05:08

classes after everyone gets rolling. All right today, let's

00:05:08 --> 00:05:14

talk about stories of the Olia and say don't remember to be Muhammad

00:05:14 --> 00:05:15

remember to be

00:05:16 --> 00:05:20

I'm going to make key okay we're gonna read about them but first

00:05:20 --> 00:05:21

let me send this message off

00:05:36 --> 00:05:37

Okay, have the teachers

00:05:42 --> 00:05:47

Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim reading from resettle Kusa area which

00:05:47 --> 00:05:51

we're about to finish all the biographies here. So you don't

00:05:51 --> 00:05:55

have to be barred entry number 70 however was the man so he'd have

00:05:55 --> 00:05:56

to set up another TV

00:05:57 --> 00:06:02

where he doesn't any very unique in his time. Let me use a couple

00:06:02 --> 00:06:07

of whom is low. No one was like him. Guide before him Sahiba Ibnu

00:06:07 --> 00:06:07

care to be

00:06:09 --> 00:06:15

good Sahiba if NetAcad to be what have you been lucky to be whatever

00:06:15 --> 00:06:22

I'm zu Jaggi Wallachia, a Nara jewelry webinar Inessa

00:06:24 --> 00:06:27

Mads Ebenezer port he's a Moroccan I'm not gonna be right or his

00:06:27 --> 00:06:31

parents are Moroccan and he ended up dying in knee support will also

00:06:31 --> 00:06:36

be an annual salaallah alayhi Abu Bakr Ribnica coup, the great

00:06:36 --> 00:06:39

Ashati scholar Abu Bakar had been Phonak

00:06:40 --> 00:06:42

he had been photographed this named out in the margins of

00:06:42 --> 00:06:43

whatever you're doing okay

00:06:48 --> 00:06:49

even for ACC

00:06:50 --> 00:06:55

is one of the go to books if he needed to know that we that

00:06:56 --> 00:07:02

in the Hadith of the of we that of the watershed, Hadith

00:07:04 --> 00:07:06

there are a hadith Morticia right.

00:07:07 --> 00:07:11

And no we talks about them a lot. No, he is one of the go to places

00:07:11 --> 00:07:14

for that to know when we shot 100 Sahih Muslim, what is what's a

00:07:14 --> 00:07:16

Shabbat you may be asking the word in which a Shabbat has two

00:07:16 --> 00:07:22

meanings number one oft repeated so in the in the realm of Hibs

00:07:22 --> 00:07:27

Quran memorize the Quran, the whole fourth study the motor,

00:07:27 --> 00:07:31

Chevy, okay, then with the Chevy heads, what are some of them which

00:07:31 --> 00:07:33

a Chevy heads for example,

00:07:34 --> 00:07:40

any type of verse that it's exactly the same set of wording or

00:07:40 --> 00:07:45

very similar wording such that you ever find yourself reciting one

00:07:45 --> 00:07:45

sutra

00:07:46 --> 00:07:48

then you're not really paying attention, all of a sudden you're

00:07:48 --> 00:07:51

reciting another SUTA. All of a sudden, how did that happen? You

00:07:51 --> 00:07:56

probably linked onto one of them with a shabby het. And then you

00:07:56 --> 00:08:01

ended up taking the wrong path to the other sutra. Okay? So that's

00:08:01 --> 00:08:05

what she said, but in the realm of Arpita them with the Shabbat or

00:08:05 --> 00:08:09

verse or sayings and a hadith that would seem on the literal meaning

00:08:09 --> 00:08:15

of it to the face, the original default and literal meaning of a

00:08:15 --> 00:08:18

thing a verb to contradict another

00:08:22 --> 00:08:26

pillar principle of the deen that's what they call them what to

00:08:26 --> 00:08:30

shove and in no way in Sahih Muslim, he covers them in Hotjar.

00:08:30 --> 00:08:35

In a short, humble clarify Tilbury covers them and have been Phonak

00:08:35 --> 00:08:41

before them. Before both of them covered that for duck is fat Well,

00:08:41 --> 00:08:45

or KEF. We should actually read some of his books. I wish I had my

00:08:45 --> 00:08:48

iPad on my iPad right now on me, but we should honestly

00:08:50 --> 00:08:51

read some of these books

00:08:54 --> 00:08:58

have been forrec Karla Taqwa there's only one quote from him.

00:08:58 --> 00:09:01

At taqwa, who will will go for people who do

00:09:02 --> 00:09:03

get

00:09:05 --> 00:09:10

it Taqwa is really stopping at your limits. And there's no value

00:09:11 --> 00:09:15

in all this good nice talk about the deen and then we flirt with

00:09:15 --> 00:09:19

the boundaries of Allah. We got to make Toba or otherwise we can

00:09:19 --> 00:09:22

become frauds when we ask Allah refuge from them.

00:09:23 --> 00:09:29

Okay, Karla woman sad batil agonia Yeah, la medalla settle for

00:09:29 --> 00:09:30

Karachi.

00:09:32 --> 00:09:37

Woman so thorough. Sabata agonia ialah mucha lecithin for kuroi

00:09:37 --> 00:09:41

EBITA Allah Who law who to Allah be motile listen to this. Is it

00:09:41 --> 00:09:48

wrong? To be an aspirant businessman to be to aspire for

00:09:48 --> 00:09:52

some of the matters of the dunya to try to make a buck? That's not

00:09:52 --> 00:09:56

necessarily the problem. What's the problem? The problem is men

00:09:56 --> 00:09:59

Ephyra saw but the Allah module would

00:10:00 --> 00:10:06

Majelis little Pokhara would that you prefer to sit with that crowd

00:10:06 --> 00:10:06

of people

00:10:08 --> 00:10:09

over

00:10:10 --> 00:10:15

sitting with the pies. So that's really what it is. It's not it's

00:10:15 --> 00:10:19

not about sitting with the crowd of business people, millionaires

00:10:19 --> 00:10:21

and billionaires. It's not even hard to become a millionaire,

00:10:21 --> 00:10:23

right if you put your mind to it.

00:10:25 --> 00:10:26

Sitting with them,

00:10:27 --> 00:10:31

Enix in preference, to sitting with the pious

00:10:33 --> 00:10:35

and sitting with the righteous, and what do I mean by sitting with

00:10:35 --> 00:10:38

the pious and the righteous, sometimes just the first row in

00:10:38 --> 00:10:42

the prayer? Sometimes in every mosque, there's like five, six

00:10:42 --> 00:10:48

people, they are at every salah. And they're always from all walks

00:10:48 --> 00:10:50

of life, like I know one mosque, where

00:10:51 --> 00:10:56

one of the people who never misses a Salah in the mosque is also an

00:10:56 --> 00:10:58

amazing real estate mogul.

00:11:00 --> 00:11:02

Right? He's an amazing real estate guy.

00:11:03 --> 00:11:04

This is in New Jersey.

00:11:06 --> 00:11:13

He's extremely successful guy. But he's also one of these folks. And

00:11:13 --> 00:11:17

folkart does not mean financially impoverished folks out here means

00:11:17 --> 00:11:21

they know their neediness to Allah, they recognize, we need

00:11:21 --> 00:11:24

Allah subhanaw taala so we always they're always in Salah. They're

00:11:24 --> 00:11:30

always in those in that gathering those modest gatherings the

00:11:30 --> 00:11:34

masajid the first row behind the Imam. Okay.

00:11:36 --> 00:11:41

So that's something extremely important to recognize that we

00:11:41 --> 00:11:46

cannot forego that group. These are the people of Allah subhanho

00:11:46 --> 00:11:49

wa taala. Sometimes it's a gathering of knowledge. Sometimes

00:11:49 --> 00:11:54

it's a going out for dowel, whatever it is with them. Take

00:11:54 --> 00:11:58

from that, Baraka that they bring down what by their humility and

00:11:58 --> 00:12:02

their a bed and their pure intention. Next one, well, I'm not

00:12:02 --> 00:12:02

good enough it'd be

00:12:06 --> 00:12:06

good

00:12:14 --> 00:12:19

Mohammed Mallory, let's go to him. He says, whoa, Abu Abdullah

00:12:19 --> 00:12:25

Mohammed was made in MongoDB. He also died 299 After the hijra, and

00:12:25 --> 00:12:29

which equates to 911 of the Common Era.

00:12:33 --> 00:12:38

Western Ibrahim ignition event which it means I live near Rosen,

00:12:38 --> 00:12:42

I shall meet at a why should he in a senator Craven, he died about

00:12:42 --> 00:12:49

100. And he lived about 120 years. Wow. I mean, you know that long

00:12:49 --> 00:12:52

life and physical health, I don't necessarily think there's any

00:12:52 --> 00:12:53

connection.

00:12:54 --> 00:12:56

Right? But

00:12:59 --> 00:13:04

physical fitness, physical fitness and long life, I don't think

00:13:04 --> 00:13:09

there's a connection, physical fitness, and enjoying the last two

00:13:09 --> 00:13:13

years of your life. There's definitely a connection, right. So

00:13:13 --> 00:13:15

you don't get to choose when you die. There's no such thing as

00:13:15 --> 00:13:18

you'll live longer. There's none of that. But you'll live better.

00:13:20 --> 00:13:23

If you take care of a car, the great result is the car doesn't

00:13:23 --> 00:13:27

break down on you. If you take care of the body, you get the

00:13:27 --> 00:13:31

reward. You cannot cheat death, you can't extend life. But at

00:13:31 --> 00:13:35

least the last 25 years of your life will be better. Some people

00:13:35 --> 00:13:39

spend last 25 years that they've done an open heart surgery, limb

00:13:39 --> 00:13:44

being having, you know the bottles of medicine, okay, that whole look

00:13:44 --> 00:13:49

the the shoebox with all the little orange bottles, the nonstop

00:13:49 --> 00:13:55

visits to doctors and to hospitals and to. So that's the the bit up.

00:13:55 --> 00:14:00

That's it. That's purification of sensory at the end of time, and of

00:14:00 --> 00:14:03

your days, but it's not something you work for. You work to to work

00:14:03 --> 00:14:05

for or against that. And today we're going to talk about that, by

00:14:05 --> 00:14:09

the way. Here we have one of the oldest living 120 years, what is

00:14:09 --> 00:14:11

the last 40 years of his life look like? What is the last 50 years?

00:14:11 --> 00:14:16

Imagine this? You're 70 years old. Now, when you're seven years old?

00:14:16 --> 00:14:19

What can't you do anymore? Number one, you're not attractive anymore

00:14:19 --> 00:14:22

to anybody. Number two, you're not really going to do anything

00:14:22 --> 00:14:26

physical. You're not going to do any heavy physical lifting, or

00:14:26 --> 00:14:28

movement. Right?

00:14:29 --> 00:14:34

You can't do a lot when you're 70. Now imagine you're 70 and is

00:14:34 --> 00:14:37

destitute to live another 50 years.

00:14:38 --> 00:14:43

That's a lifetime. A literally a lifetime. That means someone can

00:14:43 --> 00:14:48

be born. When you're 75 years old, your great grandchild will be born

00:14:49 --> 00:14:51

and you will live to see him become a father.

00:14:53 --> 00:14:54

And 45 years old Hmm.

00:14:55 --> 00:14:58

Probably and maybe even a grandpa in the olden days definitely by 50

00:14:58 --> 00:14:59

or grandpa right

00:15:00 --> 00:15:04

because you get everyone married at 20 Right? Even Marian got 30 He

00:15:04 --> 00:15:05

Big grandpa.

00:15:06 --> 00:15:11

Unbelievable. So that's why it is important to put everything where

00:15:11 --> 00:15:15

it belongs. Namely, you got to take care of your physical health.

00:15:15 --> 00:15:18

Not it's not just you have to take care of our people. Most people

00:15:18 --> 00:15:21

were turned off by that you have to take care of it. No.

00:15:23 --> 00:15:26

You should want to because you will feel so much better you'll be

00:15:26 --> 00:15:30

able to do so much better life is efficient. If you take care of

00:15:30 --> 00:15:33

this body of ours, right it's Annamma so why not use it why not

00:15:33 --> 00:15:35

take care of it so it's a great blessing

00:15:36 --> 00:15:40

Okay, so he has said he's lived about 120 years can I G bus

00:15:40 --> 00:15:44

chutney he was his affair was amazing lamb yet could mean masala

00:15:44 --> 00:15:48

delay here do Benny Adams in in a Kathira he didn't eat

00:15:49 --> 00:15:51

what human beings touched for a long time.

00:15:53 --> 00:15:56

And what does he mean by that? He didn't eat from the marketplace

00:15:56 --> 00:16:02

because he feared some unlawful wealth or unlawful practices got

00:16:02 --> 00:16:02

involved.

00:16:03 --> 00:16:07

Okay, as we read here from out of the setup Kush area.

00:16:08 --> 00:16:09

Okay, it's in English to

00:16:11 --> 00:16:16

the resale as it crocheted his epistle it's called, so he didn't

00:16:16 --> 00:16:18

eat Mimosa let's delay here do Benny Adam

00:16:20 --> 00:16:24

see Nina Cathy rotten. He didn't eat anything humans touch for many

00:16:24 --> 00:16:27

years. Because he wasn't sure if it's lawful or not. He only ate

00:16:27 --> 00:16:31

what came out of the earth directly, or the animal he raised

00:16:31 --> 00:16:37

directly connected him and also to Russia. He has yet to our tie when

00:16:38 --> 00:16:41

he started eating different things out of nature that were not

00:16:41 --> 00:16:45

normally eaten by people but he got used to eating it. Part of the

00:16:45 --> 00:16:51

Amani Amara tool. Oh, coffee bewafa caught? I think it means

00:16:51 --> 00:16:57

your Alacati the best of these to fill your schedule. Fill the

00:16:57 --> 00:16:58

schedule,

00:16:59 --> 00:17:02

with things acceptable in the Sharia.

00:17:03 --> 00:17:05

So busy.

00:17:07 --> 00:17:09

Why are youth

00:17:11 --> 00:17:12

getting in trouble?

00:17:13 --> 00:17:14

They're not busy.

00:17:15 --> 00:17:20

I remember growing up the elders, the uncles and all the people used

00:17:20 --> 00:17:25

to always praise busyness for youth. Young man gotta get busy.

00:17:25 --> 00:17:29

Gotta stay busy. Right? Summertime. Why did they lower the

00:17:29 --> 00:17:32

work age? They shouldn't have lowered it. Just like what is it?

00:17:32 --> 00:17:32

16?

00:17:33 --> 00:17:38

Right. That's no good. No good. Okay. People got to work.

00:17:40 --> 00:17:42

And it shouldn't be all work either should be working. It

00:17:42 --> 00:17:45

should be learning and it should be enjoying your youth before it

00:17:45 --> 00:17:49

goes away. Believe it or not, I'm gonna had dad mentioned this. He

00:17:49 --> 00:17:50

said that.

00:17:52 --> 00:17:58

He said that. He had a tummies a student who used to bring his son.

00:17:58 --> 00:18:01

He said I want my son to get used to study. He said, Why didn't you

00:18:01 --> 00:18:02

let him play?

00:18:03 --> 00:18:08

Remember her dad said go let him do the things of youth now. So he

00:18:08 --> 00:18:11

doesn't feel like he missed it later on. And then he would desire

00:18:11 --> 00:18:16

it later on. That's really important. So So young people got

00:18:16 --> 00:18:20

to do young people, things that you have time to do now, so that

00:18:20 --> 00:18:23

you don't grow up later and say, Oh, I'd never did that. Or then

00:18:23 --> 00:18:26

you will have your own kids and you can't relate. You ever see

00:18:26 --> 00:18:27

some of these people who are like

00:18:30 --> 00:18:34

prodigies, prodigies, I don't think they make good parents. I'll

00:18:34 --> 00:18:37

tell you who makes a great parent, regular people

00:18:38 --> 00:18:42

who lived a regular life. They make the best parents, because

00:18:42 --> 00:18:46

they understand the regular desires of a young person. They

00:18:46 --> 00:18:49

understand the regular the mistakes of a young person. Like

00:18:49 --> 00:18:51

if you're a prodigy, and a genius. Do you think like someone like

00:18:51 --> 00:18:52

Einstein?

00:18:53 --> 00:18:57

Do you think it was a good dad? I don't think so. He can't be what

00:18:57 --> 00:19:00

does he understand about regular people? He's a prodigy. He's he

00:19:00 --> 00:19:03

lived differently than anyone else. And it's not just prodigies.

00:19:04 --> 00:19:08

People who are raised differently than everyone else, in a negative

00:19:08 --> 00:19:13

way, or in an any excess. Like some of these parents, they got

00:19:13 --> 00:19:18

their kids studying, like 678 hours a day in the summertime.

00:19:18 --> 00:19:21

Yes, that kid goes off and he excels better than everyone else.

00:19:21 --> 00:19:25

But he will be a terrible dad. He will not be. He will never He

00:19:26 --> 00:19:29

chances are he won't really relate to youth. He won't know what that

00:19:29 --> 00:19:35

life is like. Okay. So that's why, like, you see the best people and

00:19:35 --> 00:19:37

their parents are like totally ordinary people.

00:19:38 --> 00:19:41

Right? There's there's a lot of

00:19:43 --> 00:19:49

unique things that can happen in raising children and a family that

00:19:49 --> 00:19:54

is a net positive. Like it's very unique, but it's positive. Okay,

00:19:54 --> 00:19:57

like I was recently reading about a guy who grew up on

00:19:58 --> 00:20:00

a multi acre farm

00:20:00 --> 00:20:00

arm

00:20:01 --> 00:20:06

and had to do all the chores. And live that natural life. Right. And

00:20:06 --> 00:20:10

by the sunset was totally exhausted. He was homeschooled in

00:20:10 --> 00:20:13

the day in the morning. He did homeschool in the morning. And

00:20:13 --> 00:20:17

then worked on the farm at night. And but he did this with his all

00:20:17 --> 00:20:20

his brothers and sisters, so he wasn't lonely. And there were

00:20:20 --> 00:20:23

other farm hens there. And there plenty of animals. So there's a

00:20:23 --> 00:20:27

very busy life. Many people say homeschooling like the limit of

00:20:27 --> 00:20:29

it. Yeah, there is a limit that you only deal with the people that

00:20:29 --> 00:20:32

you already filter. And that's not necessarily good. It's very good

00:20:32 --> 00:20:35

to do learn how to deal with people that you didn't filter out,

00:20:35 --> 00:20:37

or nobody filter it out. That's one of the positives.

00:20:39 --> 00:20:41

But it could also be a negative because you could deal with very

00:20:41 --> 00:20:43

bad people. But in any event,

00:20:44 --> 00:20:49

he lived like that he came out of that, like, really good physical

00:20:49 --> 00:20:52

habits, physical health came out there, like always sleeps early,

00:20:52 --> 00:20:55

always wakes up early, because you got to wake up early to do your

00:20:55 --> 00:20:59

chores. Right? Then do school, then take a nap, then do all the

00:20:59 --> 00:21:00

formwork

00:21:01 --> 00:21:06

of the end of the day, then be home before dark. Have dinner and

00:21:06 --> 00:21:07

you're knocked out because you're so tired.

00:21:08 --> 00:21:10

So that was unique, but it benefited him.

00:21:14 --> 00:21:18

I had another I read about another set of parents where the dad was

00:21:18 --> 00:21:22

from the military. I love this. I thought this was great. And he

00:21:22 --> 00:21:29

said he he implemented 10% of the military in his house. Right? You

00:21:29 --> 00:21:33

want breakfast? 10 Pushups. Good for you wake up. You're not eating

00:21:33 --> 00:21:37

until your mom witnesses you do 10 Push Ups. Right? That's great.

00:21:37 --> 00:21:40

That's a great habit, right? You're getting your kids into

00:21:40 --> 00:21:45

there consistently has the boys in that family. We would outdo

00:21:45 --> 00:21:48

everybody not because of anything drastic just because of these

00:21:48 --> 00:21:52

habits. You want to eat dinner. All right, you got to do some kind

00:21:52 --> 00:21:57

of there's always something. But that's also cheap. It's one thing

00:21:57 --> 00:22:01

generosity is a nice thing. But also, the idea that you need to

00:22:01 --> 00:22:03

actually do something to earn

00:22:04 --> 00:22:10

something is also something that is a benefit. So ever before doing

00:22:10 --> 00:22:14

everything they had to actually earn it was something that took

00:22:14 --> 00:22:18

less than 30 seconds. Literally what does it take to do 10 Push

00:22:18 --> 00:22:22

ups like 30 seconds, but it was daily, daily, daily daily. So they

00:22:22 --> 00:22:28

came out. Now one of them broke, the dad went too far, one of them

00:22:28 --> 00:22:32

completely broke. And that's the thing about extreme parents is

00:22:32 --> 00:22:33

that they can't

00:22:35 --> 00:22:39

treat everybody they can that 50% of the people won't work the kids

00:22:39 --> 00:22:42

are going to burn them out. And one of them literally broke

00:22:43 --> 00:22:48

he broke the kid couldn't handle the pressure but the other thrives

00:22:48 --> 00:22:53

on the pressure and became extremely successful. Right and so

00:22:53 --> 00:22:58

that's why extremes will always someone will run away from it and

00:22:58 --> 00:23:00

someone will really succeed what we really

00:23:01 --> 00:23:05

love it and that's not a good thing. So that's why you're better

00:23:05 --> 00:23:08

off not having extremes when you do these things even if it's

00:23:08 --> 00:23:10

unique but it shouldn't be extreme.

00:23:13 --> 00:23:13

Is he here

00:23:15 --> 00:23:19

our guests let's have our guests in about 15 minutes.

00:23:36 --> 00:23:36

Go

00:23:39 --> 00:23:39

he says here

00:23:44 --> 00:23:51

Carla, Carla Adamo Nursey Zulan for Kiran Danna Vania

00:23:52 --> 00:23:53

alto de Allah who

00:23:55 --> 00:23:58

will Where are them we'll call up the Zen vahanian to the level for

00:23:58 --> 00:24:04

karate we'll have you the Hermeto macara mettam He says the worst of

00:24:04 --> 00:24:07

the people the most humiliated of the people

00:24:09 --> 00:24:16

are the poor that kiss up and make an humble themselves to the rich.

00:24:17 --> 00:24:19

That is the most humiliated person

00:24:21 --> 00:24:27

and the best of people, the most noble of the people are the rich

00:24:28 --> 00:24:33

who know how to be with the poor without embarrassing them.

00:24:35 --> 00:24:39

To then he humbled himself with the poor. Okay.

00:24:40 --> 00:24:41

And he guarded

00:24:42 --> 00:24:46

their honor. What does that mean? You sit with the poor.

00:24:47 --> 00:24:49

You have to learn how to sit with them.

00:24:51 --> 00:24:52

And for some people

00:24:53 --> 00:24:58

who are the super rich, everyone else is poor. Like super rich can

00:24:58 --> 00:24:59

sit with an accountant

00:25:00 --> 00:25:04

A dentist that's poor to you to him right? To the super rich

00:25:04 --> 00:25:05

that's poor.

00:25:06 --> 00:25:08

Okay, so

00:25:09 --> 00:25:13

the rich who do not know how to sit with the regular people or the

00:25:13 --> 00:25:17

poor there's there's something missing in their character. They

00:25:17 --> 00:25:21

need to learn how to you learn well probably maybe take off that

00:25:21 --> 00:25:24

$3,000 suit and put on some regular clothes. That's the first

00:25:24 --> 00:25:29

thing. How about not rolling up in your Bugatti How about roll up in

00:25:29 --> 00:25:33

a regular car even a Mercedes fine, it's acceptable, but not in

00:25:34 --> 00:25:37

one of these cars that are out of reach. So you have there's a

00:25:37 --> 00:25:44

clothes. There's there's an outfit for everything. Nobody goes to the

00:25:44 --> 00:25:49

gym in wingtips. Fancy wingtip shoes, right.

00:25:50 --> 00:25:54

You go to the gym, nobody goes to the gym, decked out and $1,000

00:25:54 --> 00:25:57

jewelry. Women don't go to the gym like that, right?

00:26:00 --> 00:26:04

People don't go, you go to every place has no you never see a guy

00:26:04 --> 00:26:06

do physical labor.

00:26:07 --> 00:26:11

With his fanciest watch on. So everything has an outfit. There's

00:26:11 --> 00:26:12

also an outfit to sit with regular people.

00:26:13 --> 00:26:18

If you're a scrum, the super rich, he got to know these things. Okay.

00:26:19 --> 00:26:23

What do you bring up? You don't know how to talk. I know some

00:26:23 --> 00:26:24

super rich people were great.

00:26:25 --> 00:26:30

They're genuinely great people that just love regular stuff. And

00:26:30 --> 00:26:34

as a result, you could sit them down, I'm telling you, I know a

00:26:34 --> 00:26:37

guy. This guy's multimillionaire multiple times over, right?

00:26:39 --> 00:26:42

He know you can sit him down with a garbageman. I'm telling you.

00:26:44 --> 00:26:47

They'll cook. They'll know how to he'll know how to chit chat, he'll

00:26:47 --> 00:26:51

know how to talk. And he genuinely, genuinely will just see

00:26:51 --> 00:26:57

another guy. Right? He understands that wealth is just something

00:26:57 --> 00:27:00

Allah gave him. And he lived many, many, many, many years of his

00:27:00 --> 00:27:05

life. As a regular guy, that's the benefit from him. It wasn't born

00:27:05 --> 00:27:06

into this wealth. He earned it

00:27:07 --> 00:27:09

after years as a regular guy,

00:27:10 --> 00:27:12

and that's why he's blessed and that's why he's good.

00:27:14 --> 00:27:16

Next is Ahmed Mechi.

00:27:17 --> 00:27:20

Gollum was somebody who,

00:30:55 --> 00:30:57

if you taught him a lesson, if you

00:30:59 --> 00:31:01

put him in his place, what does Gollum do?

00:31:02 --> 00:31:05

He starts crying. He makes himself a victim.

00:31:07 --> 00:31:09

Be careful of the fake victims.

00:31:10 --> 00:31:14

But the moment you give him an inch, it takes a mile. Okay?

00:31:14 --> 00:31:20

That's why he says enough sua da. It's trickery. It's tricky. But a

00:31:20 --> 00:31:22

welder, it goes deep

00:31:24 --> 00:31:27

into things he likes to go around and do all these different

00:31:27 --> 00:31:32

mischievious things. So be careful of our own self. Interest is

00:31:32 --> 00:31:32

ourself.

00:31:34 --> 00:31:39

But we do our unique creatures that were able to be conscious of

00:31:39 --> 00:31:43

ourselves, the only way that that is happening is that we have

00:31:43 --> 00:31:44

multiple facets to ourselves.

00:31:45 --> 00:31:48

Okay, that's what's unique about self consciousness, if you think

00:31:48 --> 00:31:53

about it, right? Like your eyes can never see your eyes. Right?

00:31:54 --> 00:31:58

You can't ever see your eyes without having a mirror. Right?

00:31:59 --> 00:32:02

You can't see your eyes. So how is it that we talk to ourselves? We

00:32:02 --> 00:32:04

must have multiple facets to us.

00:32:05 --> 00:32:10

That's the miracle selfconscious. Baby. Animals and dogs are not I

00:32:10 --> 00:32:13

don't think that they're self conscious, right? They don't the

00:32:13 --> 00:32:16

dolphin doesn't? Well, we'll never know, right? But in general, the

00:32:16 --> 00:32:19

dolphin doesn't sit there thinking about what is life like as a

00:32:19 --> 00:32:20

dolphin?

00:32:21 --> 00:32:23

How to Allah make me a dolphin, right?

00:32:25 --> 00:32:26

First of all, wouldn't ever know that. But

00:32:28 --> 00:32:32

that's assumption. Well let Well, why don't we look at children? Why

00:32:32 --> 00:32:34

do we love looking at children because they're not self

00:32:34 --> 00:32:35

conscious.

00:32:36 --> 00:32:38

A child is never thinking.

00:32:39 --> 00:32:42

age two, three, and four, when they start talking, and they start

00:32:42 --> 00:32:47

having a personality. But they don't their self consciousness

00:32:47 --> 00:32:50

hasn't developed yet. They're just a wonder to look at because

00:32:50 --> 00:32:52

they're just it's pure. Right?

00:32:54 --> 00:32:54

It's pure.

00:32:56 --> 00:33:00

There's no self consciousness. And it's amazing to see them play with

00:33:00 --> 00:33:05

each other. Because they're look like slobs. Right? And nobody

00:33:05 --> 00:33:10

cares. None of the kids care. No one is self conscious. And that's

00:33:10 --> 00:33:15

why it's beautiful to look at children. Okay? So to watch them

00:33:15 --> 00:33:18

play and watch them do their thing. And when they talk, he's

00:33:18 --> 00:33:21

never trying to be funny. Right? He's added up the consciousness

00:33:21 --> 00:33:25

for that yet. So that's self consciousness is one of something

00:33:25 --> 00:33:28

that and there that's one of the places where the scientists will

00:33:28 --> 00:33:31

okay, what's physically different about us?

00:33:33 --> 00:33:35

They're all about what worse we're physically no different than

00:33:35 --> 00:33:39

anything else. Okay, then. But why are we self conscious than if we

00:33:39 --> 00:33:42

are physically I remember reading something where if you took a

00:33:42 --> 00:33:45

human being and you crushed the human being

00:33:46 --> 00:33:51

right, completely, and you separate it out the commercial,

00:33:51 --> 00:33:56

commercially valuable elements within the human being, he would

00:33:56 --> 00:34:02

sell for no more than 13 bucks. This body is not worth

00:34:02 --> 00:34:06

commercially 30 Like you crushed, it's not worth 13 bucks. As

00:34:06 --> 00:34:11

opposed to gold, you can take a gold, a beautiful gold statue

00:34:11 --> 00:34:14

melted down and it's still worth a lot of money. That chunk of gold

00:34:14 --> 00:34:17

is worth something intrinsically as a value. You could take

00:34:17 --> 00:34:22

diamonds, crush them up, crushed, still have some value, but not the

00:34:22 --> 00:34:25

human being. So where is that self consciousness coming from? It's

00:34:25 --> 00:34:30

from the knifes so the neffs is something that can talk to itself.

00:34:30 --> 00:34:34

It's such a unique feature right of the creation. So he says beware

00:34:34 --> 00:34:34

of it.

00:34:36 --> 00:34:39

But rather I have BCS it'll

00:34:41 --> 00:34:47

treat your knifes wisely, based upon knowledge. You have. Now

00:34:48 --> 00:34:52

young people are not do not have much knowledge of the neffs not

00:34:52 --> 00:34:54

because they don't read books doesn't matter what they read

00:34:54 --> 00:34:57

because they've never dealt with it before. So young people when

00:34:57 --> 00:35:00

they get successful all of

00:35:00 --> 00:35:03

A sudden spend all the money in party all day and all night until

00:35:03 --> 00:35:06

the day comes, boom, we hit a wall.

00:35:07 --> 00:35:11

And you realize, oh, okay, all that temptation was no good for

00:35:11 --> 00:35:15

us. We thought it was nice. And we thought success could just come to

00:35:15 --> 00:35:20

us. But know all that partying all that good stuff is bad, okay? was

00:35:20 --> 00:35:22

not good for us, He ruined us.

00:35:24 --> 00:35:29

And sometimes impiety people get into the dean, and they realize

00:35:29 --> 00:35:33

that if they hit the gas, good things happen, right? If they if

00:35:33 --> 00:35:37

they push hard and the dean, a beautiful result happens inside of

00:35:37 --> 00:35:41

them. So what did they do? They put the pedal to the metal, right?

00:35:41 --> 00:35:46

And then watch in six months, they hit a wall, right? And six months,

00:35:46 --> 00:35:49

they hit a wall, and they burnt out and they're physically

00:35:49 --> 00:35:54

exhausted, they lost a lot of the zeal. And now they're on a

00:35:54 --> 00:35:58

downward slide, but they're too tired to stop the slide. That's

00:35:58 --> 00:36:00

the thing, right? You're looking for this book.

00:36:02 --> 00:36:03

It's called the reseller, of course at

00:36:05 --> 00:36:06

alpha, okay?

00:36:08 --> 00:36:12

They're too tired to stop the downward slide. And that's a scary

00:36:12 --> 00:36:16

thing. And you see them slide really hard, right? Well, what

00:36:16 --> 00:36:20

happened at the end of that, by the time he gets back up, he

00:36:20 --> 00:36:21

learned something.

00:36:22 --> 00:36:26

So what he talked about CES had to learn that knowledge of how to

00:36:26 --> 00:36:29

deal with the knifes is not a book knowledge, it's, it's going to be

00:36:29 --> 00:36:33

experience. Like, what would you rather have a guy who has not read

00:36:33 --> 00:36:38

a single book on managing a team. But he's managed the team for 10

00:36:38 --> 00:36:42

years, versus the guy who's has a PhD in management, but never

00:36:42 --> 00:36:46

managed a team. Right? I know a guy who

00:36:48 --> 00:36:55

set up a company on entrepreneurship. Right? training

00:36:55 --> 00:36:56

people in entrepreneurship.

00:36:57 --> 00:36:59

You got never made a single company in his life.

00:37:00 --> 00:37:04

It isn't a buck to his name. Right? So what the Oh, but I have

00:37:04 --> 00:37:09

a master's? Who cares? Right? You never have done it.

00:37:10 --> 00:37:15

You've never done it. So this nefs thing has to be experienced, you

00:37:15 --> 00:37:18

have to assume now, do I have to go through this every single one

00:37:18 --> 00:37:21

of us have to go through the experience? How about we get smart

00:37:21 --> 00:37:25

here. And we take the experience of others that is the value and

00:37:25 --> 00:37:26

benefit of having a shake.

00:37:27 --> 00:37:32

That's why we have to you you have a shift because the shake, he's

00:37:32 --> 00:37:37

gone through it all. Not only that, he also has trained others.

00:37:37 --> 00:37:42

So he's seen their experience and learned right now when he comes

00:37:42 --> 00:37:46

into stop here, stop. Stop getting up in the middle of the night for

00:37:46 --> 00:37:50

three hours. It's enough. Who did this?

00:37:52 --> 00:37:56

If I'm not mistaken, it was Salomon and Pharisee. With Edward

00:37:56 --> 00:38:00

data from not mistaken and would not have entered Islam and Medina

00:38:01 --> 00:38:05

sedimented Fantasy has been living with worshippers scholars and

00:38:05 --> 00:38:09

mystics of different religions, Christians and Jews for decades on

00:38:09 --> 00:38:15

end, he is he knows the knifes right? He knows the ups and downs

00:38:15 --> 00:38:17

of spirituality and the knifes and the ego and rejection and all

00:38:17 --> 00:38:23

that. So he said, so I would go to dad's wife, if I'm not mistaken.

00:38:23 --> 00:38:23

It's

00:38:24 --> 00:38:28

she complaint. She said he fasts every single day.

00:38:29 --> 00:38:34

And he prays all night. So he said okay, I'll take care of them.

00:38:35 --> 00:38:39

And they had been companions, the prophet or no, they they were

00:38:39 --> 00:38:44

friends. So he said to me, that let me spend some time with you.

00:38:44 --> 00:38:44

Huh?

00:38:47 --> 00:38:48

Put it up if it works.

00:38:50 --> 00:38:55

I said let me let me spend time with you. He said okay. He outs

00:38:55 --> 00:38:56

and manufactures he was older.

00:38:57 --> 00:39:01

So came time for Abu Dhabi to wake up for to hedge it said

00:39:01 --> 00:39:03

manufacturers he said no sleep.

00:39:06 --> 00:39:11

He said, sometime later, he woke up and he said no sleep.

00:39:13 --> 00:39:16

Third time. He said okay, now get up.

00:39:17 --> 00:39:21

Gets up for 200 they pray a little bit. Then he goes, good. So hold

00:39:21 --> 00:39:25

on. He said What's this? He said so he said no, we're not fasting

00:39:25 --> 00:39:31

today. Okay, so he basically measured him he put into the

00:39:31 --> 00:39:35

middle. Because if you go up with that, if you run up the mountain,

00:39:36 --> 00:39:40

the problem is when you slip and you get tired, there's no way to

00:39:40 --> 00:39:44

put the brakes on when you're slipping downwards. Right. And you

00:39:44 --> 00:39:49

need the energy to stop the downward spiral. Okay, and so that

00:39:49 --> 00:39:52

is where what he's talking about here at CES. That's who I am. You

00:39:52 --> 00:39:54

know how to, if you know how to deal with your knifes.

00:39:57 --> 00:39:59

Then hopefully you'll be able to learn how to lose

00:40:00 --> 00:40:02

Let's get rid of that gold because it's a clash there.

00:40:05 --> 00:40:08

You know how to deal with your enough's you'll be able to deal

00:40:08 --> 00:40:11

with other people's knifes and you'll be able to deal with

00:40:13 --> 00:40:19

to be more happy and realize this is enough. Go. And oftentimes the

00:40:19 --> 00:40:23

youth they don't like the youth, they want to put the pedal to the

00:40:23 --> 00:40:28

metal. All right, everything. Girl beard, first of all, this big it's

00:40:28 --> 00:40:34

got to be this big, anything less is weak. All right, close. I don't

00:40:34 --> 00:40:37

care. I'm going to chop right and Trader Joe's turbine. Doesn't

00:40:37 --> 00:40:41

matter. Boom, let's go. All 100% Okay, it's nice for a week.

00:40:41 --> 00:40:45

Listen, cool it down learn. This is not going to work forever.

00:40:46 --> 00:40:52

School, no quitting school, already doing doing EVs I'm going

00:40:52 --> 00:40:55

to sign up for a program out in the middle of nowhere.

00:40:57 --> 00:40:58

Hold on a second.

00:40:59 --> 00:41:03

This is good for you in your imagination. But your knowledge is

00:41:03 --> 00:41:07

so weak about the ego. You're gonna collapse from this stuff. So

00:41:07 --> 00:41:11

that's the kind of the concept we're talking about here of CES.

00:41:11 --> 00:41:15

That's what I am. And I'm telling you the people who have a shift

00:41:15 --> 00:41:19

those people they don't have those blunders. Just like you have a

00:41:19 --> 00:41:24

driver just climb a mountain you have to have a trainer says pause

00:41:24 --> 00:41:27

here. Eat. Don't Eat this. Eat this.

00:41:28 --> 00:41:31

Right, you know that the when they when they do these long hikes they

00:41:31 --> 00:41:35

they try they don't eat a lot of red meat. You know why?

00:41:36 --> 00:41:39

Because it's an inefficiency regarding going to the bathroom.

00:41:40 --> 00:41:43

Right? They don't want to they don't want your stomach to be so

00:41:43 --> 00:41:50

heavy, right? All that stuff. So this is CS central elm was her

00:41:50 --> 00:41:55

betta de de la Kofi attend molucca to read constantly remember that

00:41:55 --> 00:42:00

everything bad, every sin is associated with something that you

00:42:00 --> 00:42:01

cannot possibly commit since

00:42:03 --> 00:42:07

and no, nothing bad happens. So remember that there is never a

00:42:07 --> 00:42:11

point where you have reached some level. A good level where it you

00:42:11 --> 00:42:14

never get a blowback from your sense. Doesn't matter who you are.

00:42:14 --> 00:42:17

Right? There will be such there will be a kind of blowback.

00:42:20 --> 00:42:23

Before we get to our guests, I'm gonna Can you read us what the

00:42:23 --> 00:42:23

chart says?

00:42:26 --> 00:42:30

I hope that you are reading. Yep. For the youth. I took a picture of

00:42:30 --> 00:42:33

it. It was pretty interesting. Very nice. Okay, so the first one

00:42:33 --> 00:42:37

is the humans. I see you you WhatsApp that to me. The human

00:42:37 --> 00:42:42

soul, the spiritual heart. And knifes is the hedonistic self and

00:42:42 --> 00:42:46

it has in the heart. You have enough and you have

00:42:47 --> 00:42:50

Okay, now many times people discuss where are these? Are they

00:42:50 --> 00:42:52

the one on the same thing? It doesn't make a difference?

00:42:53 --> 00:42:55

Thinking about this? Let's ask this question. Doesn't make a

00:42:55 --> 00:42:58

difference. Where is the heart? Where is the ruler? Where's the

00:42:58 --> 00:43:00

neffs? Where is the UK? What difference does it make? Right?

00:43:00 --> 00:43:02

It's all there. Okay.

00:43:04 --> 00:43:07

So but it's all something people say it's different facets of the

00:43:07 --> 00:43:10

same thing. Others say it's a whole different thing and Allah

00:43:10 --> 00:43:13

knows best. I've personally think different facets of the same

00:43:13 --> 00:43:13

thing.

00:43:15 --> 00:43:21

So, now the critical self is the moment you realize that your own

00:43:21 --> 00:43:23

self is the problem

00:43:25 --> 00:43:28

and it has to be fixed. That is the moment you enter enough

00:43:28 --> 00:43:31

settler worm. Now you have separated between the two I have

00:43:31 --> 00:43:35

an insect I have a self I can examine myself critically. Third

00:43:35 --> 00:43:36

one

00:43:37 --> 00:43:39

enough's at a moment in

00:43:40 --> 00:43:47

Okay, is when you have your intellect has dominated over your

00:43:47 --> 00:43:51

your your knifes, your enough's now is like a horse that moves

00:43:51 --> 00:43:54

exactly how the intellect tells it to move.

00:43:55 --> 00:43:58

And that's what I said many times we are a people whose intellect

00:43:59 --> 00:44:03

drives our ego not the other way around on our intellect and

00:44:03 --> 00:44:04

knowledge truth.

00:44:06 --> 00:44:09

Okay, drives our emotions, not the other way around. So that

00:44:09 --> 00:44:14

intellect tells me love such and such because they rationally they

00:44:14 --> 00:44:15

deserve to be loved.

00:44:16 --> 00:44:20

Honor so and so because it deserves to be honored. Then I do

00:44:20 --> 00:44:24

it. Hey, such and such. I love to learn how to hate it. Yeah, we

00:44:24 --> 00:44:26

shouldn't hate certain things. Okay.

00:44:27 --> 00:44:31

Do you like alcoholism? Do you like *? You have to hate

00:44:31 --> 00:44:31

certain things.

00:44:34 --> 00:44:35

Ladies and gentlemen.

00:44:39 --> 00:44:43

We have a guests and this guests knows more than anybody else.

00:44:45 --> 00:44:51

How the intellect has to drive the body and your neffs will say no.

00:44:53 --> 00:44:58

But your mind has to say Keep going Keep going keep going but he

00:44:58 --> 00:45:00

also as a trainee.

00:45:00 --> 00:45:05

leaner. And as someone who's done it knows the levels, right?

00:45:06 --> 00:45:08

pushing too hard, you're gonna get an overuse injury, you're gonna

00:45:08 --> 00:45:12

get bored, you're gonna get sick of it. And if you go too little is

00:45:12 --> 00:45:15

useless. We have with us here.

00:45:16 --> 00:45:21

And all childhood friend made fun of me from the state of New

00:45:21 --> 00:45:25

Jersey. He's from North Jersey. Okay, big family from North

00:45:25 --> 00:45:28

Jersey, and, and he ended up moving around actually living in

00:45:28 --> 00:45:32

London now lives in Turkey. But right now he's in North Jersey.

00:45:32 --> 00:45:36

And he joins us here as our fitness correspondent.

00:45:37 --> 00:45:41

We always got to be involved in physical fitness, even if it's 20

00:45:41 --> 00:45:42

minutes a day.

00:45:43 --> 00:45:47

I told you before about one 14.1 Here's the founder, and he's going

00:45:47 --> 00:45:50

to talk to us about fitness in general and about the program at

00:45:50 --> 00:45:52

family welcome to this if he decided nothing but facts

00:45:52 --> 00:45:53

livestream.

00:45:54 --> 00:45:56

Like Michelle said, so

00:45:57 --> 00:45:58

first of all, where are you?

00:45:59 --> 00:46:05

I am somewhere in Parsippany, I think, and how far? See I asked

00:46:05 --> 00:46:07

him if he could come on this today. And he said no, I'm out for

00:46:07 --> 00:46:10

a run. I said that's perfect. Right here like playing in the

00:46:10 --> 00:46:12

park right now. So

00:46:13 --> 00:46:16

this run of yours this specific run? How long was it? Do you count

00:46:16 --> 00:46:20

anymore? You know, I count just 10 miles in and I have two miles

00:46:20 --> 00:46:24

left. Okay, is this something that's a regular? Because that's a

00:46:24 --> 00:46:26

marathon essentially? Yeah, it's

00:46:28 --> 00:46:32

it is almost a marathon, but it's part of my regular weekly routine.

00:46:33 --> 00:46:34

To do this once a week.

00:46:35 --> 00:46:39

Well, I do this distance twice a week, twice a week. And that all

00:46:39 --> 00:46:45

you do right now? No, no, I don't. I also cycle I lift weights. I

00:46:45 --> 00:46:50

swim, I do a bunch of things. Okay. Now, in your routine, what

00:46:50 --> 00:46:57

do you say about a person who devotes 25 minutes a day? To

00:46:57 --> 00:46:59

physical fitness? I say that's perfect.

00:47:01 --> 00:47:01

Will

00:47:03 --> 00:47:05

they will absolutely get results. It's you know, it's a panel,

00:47:05 --> 00:47:09

everything you said I was listening it exactly right. You

00:47:09 --> 00:47:13

know, it's the person who doesn't get results is the one who starts

00:47:13 --> 00:47:16

gets excited. Let's just say they hear I did 20 miles. And then they

00:47:16 --> 00:47:20

go and they run 10 miles and they get injured. And that's it. Yeah.

00:47:20 --> 00:47:25

But the the person who does 25 minutes, what ends up happening is

00:47:25 --> 00:47:28

what you can do in those 25 minutes becomes more and more. So

00:47:28 --> 00:47:31

you might be able to, you might be able to do one mile and 25

00:47:31 --> 00:47:33

minutes, but then your body adapts. And then you can do two

00:47:33 --> 00:47:37

miles. And then eventually it's not enough. And you want to do

00:47:37 --> 00:47:42

more and more and more. And so the name of this particular game is

00:47:42 --> 00:47:47

consistency. That is all it is. I mean, so you know me from college,

00:47:47 --> 00:47:50

I was the least that you were the athlete. I wasn't the athlete.

00:47:50 --> 00:47:54

Yeah, I was in. I was in computer center, you know, and living.

00:47:55 --> 00:48:00

The overnight shift and it's an all started with one slow mile.

00:48:01 --> 00:48:04

And but one thing I did do blushing just two things I've

00:48:04 --> 00:48:10

always done to keep me consistent. I've always had a chef or coach.

00:48:11 --> 00:48:13

I've always had a

00:48:15 --> 00:48:19

chef of running a chef triathlon. Yeah, someone that would guide me

00:48:19 --> 00:48:24

from overuse injuries from going too overboard and anything. You

00:48:24 --> 00:48:27

know, following the whole tightening the 5% rule, you don't

00:48:27 --> 00:48:29

go over 5% Every week,

00:48:30 --> 00:48:35

in terms of increasing what you do. Yeah. And so the worst thing

00:48:35 --> 00:48:37

somebody could do is

00:48:38 --> 00:48:42

try to emulate what I'm doing now, after 17 years of doing this

00:48:42 --> 00:48:46

consistently, yeah. One or two things are gonna happen. Are you

00:48:46 --> 00:48:50

gonna be like, That's ridiculous. That's gotta work. Are you going

00:48:50 --> 00:48:54

to your neffs or as I call your inner loser, will give you an

00:48:54 --> 00:48:58

excuse not to do something? Yeah. Or you might do too much and get

00:48:58 --> 00:48:58

hurt.

00:48:59 --> 00:49:03

Let me ask you a question. A lot of people are very hesitant and

00:49:03 --> 00:49:10

nervous around the idea of a mentor and a coach. Yes. So they

00:49:10 --> 00:49:15

feel oh, he may push me too hard. Oh, I I'm an adult now. I may just

00:49:15 --> 00:49:19

quit on him when I feel like it. Right? How did you get yourself to

00:49:19 --> 00:49:23

really stick to the mentor? And it may have to be also the skill of

00:49:23 --> 00:49:25

the mentor to keep you with them?

00:49:26 --> 00:49:29

I think it's a really good question. Not every mentor, or

00:49:29 --> 00:49:34

every coach works for everyone. You know, you have to find the one

00:49:34 --> 00:49:39

that works for you. And so I had hired a world class, very famous

00:49:39 --> 00:49:42

coach, but his approach didn't work with me. I mean, he was to

00:49:43 --> 00:49:46

take domain Sukut he was still generally, you know, I knew a

00:49:46 --> 00:49:50

mixture of general and geometric, pushy. He was too

00:49:51 --> 00:49:56

not just pushy. He was too intense in terms of him. He was a former

00:49:56 --> 00:49:59

Olympic athlete, and that's the only mode he understood. It

00:49:59 --> 00:50:00

doesn't understand

00:50:00 --> 00:50:00

than that,

00:50:02 --> 00:50:05

you know, I have children I have a career. I have other thing on

00:50:05 --> 00:50:08

Allah. Amazing. You see this? I don't want to cut you off. But you

00:50:08 --> 00:50:08

guys,

00:50:10 --> 00:50:14

you remember what I just said that prodigies don't make good dads,

00:50:15 --> 00:50:18

prodigies, don't know what regular life is like, they don't know what

00:50:18 --> 00:50:20

regular youth is like, they don't know what

00:50:21 --> 00:50:25

normal life is like, right? Likewise here, you get an Olympic

00:50:25 --> 00:50:29

athlete did nothing his whole life very entitled life. He doesn't

00:50:29 --> 00:50:32

know what regular life is like. So he's not a good coach, at least

00:50:32 --> 00:50:34

for regular person like ourselves.

00:50:36 --> 00:50:37

Exactly. I mean, he,

00:50:39 --> 00:50:41

if you missed a workout was the end of the world spring, I'm not

00:50:41 --> 00:50:44

telling you, oh, my children are sick. He's like, that's no excuse,

00:50:44 --> 00:50:48

yeah, and all of that. But ultimately, you find the ship, or

00:50:48 --> 00:50:51

the coach that works for you. And the fact that you're also paying

00:50:51 --> 00:50:54

the money. You know, we are lucky, you know,

00:50:56 --> 00:50:59

I don't like for example, if I find an actual if I'm going to be

00:50:59 --> 00:51:02

a movie to a chef, for example, I'm not going to pay him money,

00:51:02 --> 00:51:06

but with these people, some of them, it's very hard to get them

00:51:06 --> 00:51:10

to take you even as a coachee. Yeah. And they will, they will

00:51:10 --> 00:51:15

weed things out there with people out there that they only coach

00:51:15 --> 00:51:18

those who they believe are going to do what they say. And the other

00:51:18 --> 00:51:23

thing is, they're generally not cheap. So you're, you're almost

00:51:23 --> 00:51:26

feel you're you're fearing losing this person and you're paying

00:51:26 --> 00:51:28

money. Yeah. And so

00:51:29 --> 00:51:33

that raises the level of accountability.

00:51:34 --> 00:51:35

And so

00:51:36 --> 00:51:40

go ahead, do you still have a coach after all these years? I

00:51:40 --> 00:51:43

have a coach and everything I do, whether it's swimming, whether

00:51:43 --> 00:51:48

it's in business, whether it's spirituality, I have two things

00:51:48 --> 00:51:52

like because I am not disciplined person by nature. I am not despite

00:51:52 --> 00:51:57

what people think. I need two things. I need a tribe and I need

00:51:57 --> 00:52:04

a coach. Yeah. I need a coach in Me, in Me being able to do

00:52:04 --> 00:52:06

anything. So in everything I do, whether it's an ultra running,

00:52:06 --> 00:52:11

triathlon, swimming, business, spiritually, I have a coaching for

00:52:12 --> 00:52:13

Have you become a coach.

00:52:14 --> 00:52:20

I wouldn't call professionally, I'm a coach and business. And

00:52:20 --> 00:52:24

amateur wise, I coach, those who are trying to get into endurance

00:52:24 --> 00:52:28

athletics, but once they reach a point, I can no longer coach them.

00:52:29 --> 00:52:33

And I'll hand them off to an actual professional coach. I see

00:52:33 --> 00:52:38

so so you're like a macadam what they call a mocha, mocha, someone

00:52:38 --> 00:52:42

who introduces the person to the field. And then once you're mature

00:52:42 --> 00:52:46

at the intermediate level, then you pass off to the real shake

00:52:46 --> 00:52:50

after that, that's exactly I am here to get people to do things,

00:52:50 --> 00:52:54

whether it's memorize to get their foot in the door, and being

00:52:54 --> 00:52:57

outside fitness, health, nutrition,

00:52:58 --> 00:53:03

and then passing them off to those Yeah, like, I'm gonna take fire to

00:53:03 --> 00:53:05

be one. So

00:53:06 --> 00:53:11

this, when you do all this running, most people cannot fathom

00:53:11 --> 00:53:14

how it happens. Simply because they live a little bit

00:53:14 --> 00:53:17

differently. Let's say someone's a school teacher. Yeah, like their

00:53:17 --> 00:53:25

day is from 5am to 5:30am. Until 5pm, then if they have their

00:53:25 --> 00:53:28

family and their kids, you're already it's already dark. By the

00:53:28 --> 00:53:32

time they get five minutes, right? of free time. So how do you get

00:53:32 --> 00:53:35

what advice you have for the person whose schedule is packed?

00:53:36 --> 00:53:41

All the way. The first thing is unless you're Elon, yeah, you have

00:53:41 --> 00:53:42

time i

00:53:43 --> 00:53:49

i, in my professional side, very, very, you know, a type

00:53:49 --> 00:53:52

entrepreneurs who have built massive businesses incredibly

00:53:52 --> 00:53:58

busy, and they do iron. Everyone has to find I don't buy and anyone

00:53:58 --> 00:54:00

who tells me they're busy. I asked them for their phone and I looked

00:54:00 --> 00:54:03

at their, you know, their usage on their iPhone. I said, okay, so

00:54:04 --> 00:54:07

based on this, you have 60 hours a week, you're looking at your phone

00:54:07 --> 00:54:10

or 40 hours a week, you're looking at your phone, you can become an

00:54:10 --> 00:54:14

Olympic level athlete in that time. So I whether it's a teacher,

00:54:14 --> 00:54:15

whether

00:54:16 --> 00:54:21

I believe everyone has time. But having having said that, I think

00:54:21 --> 00:54:24

you know, I've always thought balance is a myth. It's very hard

00:54:24 --> 00:54:28

to balance I believe in integration. And so for example,

00:54:28 --> 00:54:31

my long runs genuinely include one of my children

00:54:32 --> 00:54:36

pushing one on the stroller or pulling one like attaching a

00:54:36 --> 00:54:39

bungee cord to my back, pulling one on the scooter

00:54:40 --> 00:54:44

and it's one of the best times I actually interact with my children

00:54:44 --> 00:54:48

because I'm physically I'm physically and mentally there.

00:54:48 --> 00:54:52

Yeah. And so I believe whether a school teacher or anyone you can

00:54:52 --> 00:54:57

make time for, for either fitness or in the case of 114 fitness and

00:54:57 --> 00:55:00

memorization. I also think that time is

00:55:00 --> 00:55:04

is always an excuse that is really a reflection of lack of desire.

00:55:05 --> 00:55:10

So, as a coach, one of the best things to do in anything is the

00:55:10 --> 00:55:15

ability to stoke desire. And the best coaches in in any realm,

00:55:15 --> 00:55:19

whether it's sports or or shoe, is the ability to stoke within a

00:55:19 --> 00:55:25

person, desire for the outcome. Absolutely right. And then it's

00:55:25 --> 00:55:29

about building the habit that will inevitably produce that outcome,

00:55:30 --> 00:55:33

rather than shooting for the outcome. And then you're like,

00:55:33 --> 00:55:36

Alright, I got the outcome. I made it, what do I do? Now? That's a

00:55:36 --> 00:55:41

problem, too. So how do you initially stoke that desire, and

00:55:41 --> 00:55:44

people to get the result?

00:55:45 --> 00:55:48

You know, I'm a big believer and, and everyone is different. But

00:55:48 --> 00:55:52

what works for me and works for other people is to actually create

00:55:52 --> 00:55:57

a goal. Because you know, whether it's an outcome or a goal, like

00:55:57 --> 00:55:58

I'll give you an example, if you say,

00:55:59 --> 00:56:01

I want to get fit.

00:56:02 --> 00:56:05

It's really hard to change the behaviors to get fit. But if you

00:56:05 --> 00:56:07

say, Okay, I'm getting married in six months, I want to be in good

00:56:07 --> 00:56:10

shape before I get married. Yeah, all of a sudden, you have the

00:56:10 --> 00:56:11

impetus to get in shape. Or

00:56:12 --> 00:56:15

if you can do a half marathon and you've registered and you've

00:56:15 --> 00:56:20

socially for people, the impetus, then to change the behaviors, it

00:56:20 --> 00:56:23

becomes a lot easier. It takes away all the friction from

00:56:23 --> 00:56:28

actually doing the work required to do it. So I'm a big believer in

00:56:28 --> 00:56:32

setting the outcome. And then, and then from there, cornering

00:56:32 --> 00:56:35

yourself the outcome. Exactly. Coordinate yourself. You know what

00:56:35 --> 00:56:39

I used to drive the people that I'm big, crazy. I used to drive

00:56:39 --> 00:56:44

them nuts. I used to announce a program, without any thought,

00:56:44 --> 00:56:48

without any discussion. Without anything. I used to announce it

00:56:48 --> 00:56:53

right. And will make everyone crazy. Hey, we never sat for a

00:56:53 --> 00:56:55

discussion. We never did this, that in the other. I was like,

00:56:55 --> 00:56:58

well, now we're stuck with it. Right? The posters out there,

00:56:58 --> 00:57:00

right? Now we have to do it. Right.

00:57:02 --> 00:57:06

It's the fear of the disgust of this fear of the discussion,

00:57:06 --> 00:57:11

right? I totally am afraid of the discussion, because there's a high

00:57:11 --> 00:57:16

likelihood that we will someone in the room will use their brain to

00:57:16 --> 00:57:20

show everyone else how scary this is how impossible it is. And we

00:57:20 --> 00:57:24

will leave the meeting 50% chance we're not doing the program.

00:57:24 --> 00:57:29

Right, exactly. I mean, we are as a as an owner, right now, when we

00:57:29 --> 00:57:32

don't believe in calls to action, just like you describe the call to

00:57:32 --> 00:57:36

action, we have this thing it's gonna happen. Really, we wouldn't

00:57:36 --> 00:57:39

call a call to sitting down and talking, you know, like, I always

00:57:39 --> 00:57:41

think to myself, you know, Instagram comments.

00:57:42 --> 00:57:45

I don't know if you can say lowest points, and you have to correct me

00:57:45 --> 00:57:48

because I'm the furthest thing from a chef. But when he gets when

00:57:48 --> 00:57:52

he gets the revelation, and he's terrified, and he's most arms,

00:57:52 --> 00:57:57

Allah says, you know, come, man, you know, that's the ultimate act.

00:57:59 --> 00:58:02

You know, don't talk Don't you know, act stand in, you know, he's

00:58:02 --> 00:58:06

he's sitting cradled, and you think, Stan? Yeah. And so I really

00:58:06 --> 00:58:10

believe that's when you told me you're on the run, talk. Yeah, my

00:58:10 --> 00:58:13

initial reaction, my my inner loser. My mess was like, no, no,

00:58:13 --> 00:58:16

no, no, I can't talk to this. You know, I'm running. I can't. And

00:58:16 --> 00:58:19

then I caught myself. I was like, you know, I have a call to action

00:58:20 --> 00:58:23

act. Yeah, there is one I'm trying to remember off the top of my

00:58:23 --> 00:58:27

head. It says, suited silica.

00:58:30 --> 00:58:38

If camo for call Robina, they suit up, then they may die at any

00:58:38 --> 00:58:42

moment had dead comments on this concept saying that Allah will not

00:58:42 --> 00:58:46

answer your DUA until you start acting yourself. Right, you got to

00:58:46 --> 00:58:47

take an action,

00:58:49 --> 00:58:53

which is one of the biggest differences between talking about

00:58:53 --> 00:59:00

doing and actually doing that, right. So I believe personally,

00:59:00 --> 00:59:04

that you a person needs to have a motivation. And the motivation

00:59:04 --> 00:59:07

sometimes like the end result could be the goal or something.

00:59:07 --> 00:59:12

But then the best, the best philosophy for an organization for

00:59:12 --> 00:59:16

a person for a family, whatever, is that the goal should be the

00:59:16 --> 00:59:21

habits. Absolutely, that will inevitably produce multiple

00:59:21 --> 00:59:25

championships. Right, exactly. I always tell people, the goal of

00:59:25 --> 00:59:29

the goal is not the goal. Yeah. The goal of the goal is the

00:59:29 --> 00:59:33

behavior changes that you get as a personal organization to meet the

00:59:33 --> 00:59:37

goal. Yeah. So for you, for you, for example, to be an ultra

00:59:37 --> 00:59:42

endurance athlete, you know, run 100 Miles run 200 miles, you have

00:59:42 --> 00:59:43

to stop things and you have to start things.

00:59:45 --> 00:59:48

And that's where 114 came from. You know, it's like what what's

00:59:48 --> 00:59:54

the Islamic version of a trap, one that requires you to stop and

00:59:54 --> 00:59:58

start and I think the thing that people fear most is, at least

00:59:58 --> 00:59:59

especially in our age as men

01:00:00 --> 01:00:03

organization. So by if I coupled memorization of tour will no

01:00:03 --> 01:00:08

longer sewer with what what behaviors do you have to stop? And

01:00:08 --> 01:00:11

what behaviors do you have to start to memorize a surah? Like,

01:00:11 --> 01:00:14

who do you have to become to become a half as in your 40s? When

01:00:14 --> 01:00:17

it's when every Inkling in your body is telling you? No, yeah.

01:00:18 --> 01:00:23

And it's almost like, if you tell people that that mountain, it's

01:00:23 --> 01:00:27

too scary, but if you say to somebody actually sit down, set a

01:00:27 --> 01:00:33

timer, right? And just listen to the same passage of Quran

01:00:33 --> 01:00:38

listening. That's it for 15 minutes. But you do this every

01:00:38 --> 01:00:39

single day.

01:00:40 --> 01:00:44

How easy is that? If he's just listening, right? And then you

01:00:44 --> 01:00:47

start getting it rolling. And then it's one suit after the next then

01:00:47 --> 01:00:51

it's one recitation after the next. And so this is one of the

01:00:51 --> 01:00:54

things your organization is working on. Now. Let's talk about

01:00:54 --> 01:01:01

that. The website is one 14.1. Where are the digits here? It's o

01:01:01 --> 01:01:02

ne.

01:01:04 --> 01:01:06

The number 14, one for lending?

01:01:07 --> 01:01:13

Oh, 2001 for that, Oh, 20.0. And I didn't know that dot one is a

01:01:13 --> 01:01:17

thing. Did you invent that? No, no, I found it. Because you are a

01:01:19 --> 01:01:24

radiologist. You're a technologist. Yes. Okay. So tell

01:01:24 --> 01:01:29

it tell everybody what is 114 focusing on the our audience is

01:01:29 --> 01:01:35

mainly out of England's out of Europe, out of outside of Jersey,

01:01:35 --> 01:01:39

and they might want to be involved. So how would they get

01:01:39 --> 01:01:41

involved? Firstly, what is it? And then how would they get involved?

01:01:43 --> 01:01:48

Yeah, so it's, it was born, I would say, during actually a

01:01:48 --> 01:01:52

longer run, as a lot of my ideas come from where, you know, as I

01:01:52 --> 01:01:56

started running longer and longer distances, you know, from multiple

01:01:56 --> 01:02:01

marathons and things like that. I started and getting into Ironman,

01:02:01 --> 01:02:04

I think what would be semi equivalent, like, what would a

01:02:04 --> 01:02:10

race targeting Muslims look like? And I thought, different format,

01:02:10 --> 01:02:12

and then eventually landed on

01:02:13 --> 01:02:16

memorization, because it's so difficult, you know, it's so

01:02:16 --> 01:02:20

mentally difficult, it's actually not difficult. The idea of is very

01:02:21 --> 01:02:25

difficult. It's like if you talk to somebody do Ironman I go, I'm

01:02:25 --> 01:02:28

so scared of swimming in the lake for an hour and a half, although

01:02:28 --> 01:02:30

ironically, it's the easiest part with

01:02:31 --> 01:02:36

and so the idea was born. So I started thinking what the form

01:02:36 --> 01:02:41

that being with the entry level race be, and then became what we

01:02:41 --> 01:02:44

call the kingdom, which is memorizing sorted calf and running

01:02:44 --> 01:02:47

three miles and be the Lexx. Next level with memorizing suit your

01:02:47 --> 01:02:51

scene and running six miles, and then memorizing suit, El Cap,

01:02:51 --> 01:02:54

which you mentioned, and running a half marathon, then memorizing a

01:02:54 --> 01:02:59

little are off and running a full marathon. And then the highest

01:02:59 --> 01:03:03

level became memorizing sort of Bukhara, and running 50 miles,

01:03:03 --> 01:03:07

there's a secret level above that, but you unlock that by doing.

01:03:09 --> 01:03:12

There is a higher level, recall the profits to hedge it, but

01:03:12 --> 01:03:17

you're going to qualify only by doing the left grace. And, and you

01:03:17 --> 01:03:21

can do it anywhere. So we have to we try to launch in new location

01:03:21 --> 01:03:21

every year.

01:03:23 --> 01:03:26

But you can do it virtually anywhere. Well, and we have people

01:03:26 --> 01:03:29

in London, we have Pete, we have 30 people in India that did it

01:03:29 --> 01:03:35

last time. And there's a way in which you summer, and a way in

01:03:35 --> 01:03:40

which you run virtually. And what what I've tried to do is similar

01:03:40 --> 01:03:44

to what I said in the beginning, is create a tribe of people around

01:03:44 --> 01:03:47

you who are doing the same thing. We're encouraging you giving you

01:03:47 --> 01:03:51

tips, keeping you accountable, expose you to people who can coach

01:03:51 --> 01:03:55

you, etc. So it's not just creating the race, it's also

01:03:55 --> 01:03:58

creating the content in the community to help you complete the

01:03:58 --> 01:04:03

race and help you overcome the fears of memorization, which is

01:04:03 --> 01:04:08

probably the biggest fear and 114 is this idea of memorization

01:04:08 --> 01:04:12

really, really scares people. The you know, the beauty of

01:04:12 --> 01:04:15

memorization is it doesn't take much intelligence, it just takes

01:04:15 --> 01:04:21

diligence. And it takes a type of stubbornness. And one of the

01:04:21 --> 01:04:28

reasons I liked about this aspect of fitness is that if you can walk

01:04:29 --> 01:04:33

you can chances are you can walk fast, chances are you can walk

01:04:33 --> 01:04:38

uphill, right? So it's just an and walking incline. Walking in itself

01:04:38 --> 01:04:43

is a great exercise that will lose you a lot of weight, right? So,

01:04:43 --> 01:04:46

hips is really no different in the same way you just move in your

01:04:46 --> 01:04:51

legs, right? Hips, you're just repeating something. Anyone can

01:04:51 --> 01:04:55

repeat anything. Right? It's really not that intimidating. If

01:04:55 --> 01:04:59

you think about if you break it down to atomically what actually

01:04:59 --> 01:04:59

are the

01:05:00 --> 01:05:03

atoms and the protons and the neutrons hear nothing other than a

01:05:03 --> 01:05:08

nonstop repetition of a word. Right. So I think they both go

01:05:08 --> 01:05:12

great together. We have a lot of listeners out of London.

01:05:13 --> 01:05:15

How can they contact the London tribe?

01:05:17 --> 01:05:23

If you just email the there's an email on the website, and there

01:05:23 --> 01:05:26

are people out of London that do this race. And what's happening

01:05:26 --> 01:05:30

organically is that there are people coming together, to

01:05:32 --> 01:05:36

run together and memorize together, so we can put you in

01:05:36 --> 01:05:40

contact with them via WhatsApp. Okay, good. And they can contact

01:05:40 --> 01:05:44

you on the website. 114. Yeah, yeah. And if you register, and,

01:05:44 --> 01:05:51

again, I encourage you, if this idea is interesting to you, you

01:05:51 --> 01:05:55

know, come register. Don't overthink it, you know, register,

01:05:55 --> 01:05:59

we have a code right now called saba. Just use the code Saba, and

01:05:59 --> 01:06:03

I'll give you I think 25% off nice. And it will expose you

01:06:03 --> 01:06:07

expose you to a higher community of people who are memorizing this

01:06:07 --> 01:06:10

a WhatsApp group with people who are memorizing and running and

01:06:10 --> 01:06:13

encouraging each other. We have a it's really amazing. I mean, I'll

01:06:13 --> 01:06:17

give you an example. There's one story of a surgical residents out

01:06:17 --> 01:06:21

of Maryland. We just found out about the reason why the web, and

01:06:21 --> 01:06:27

he finished a 30 hour, he finished a 30 hour surgical shift. Then he

01:06:27 --> 01:06:33

ran the 50 Miles Whoa, he ran the 50 miles and and in when he said

01:06:33 --> 01:06:35

the buckler I think had three mistakes and all the whole

01:06:35 --> 01:06:39

Bukhara, but the beauty of it was it didn't think he could do it. So

01:06:39 --> 01:06:43

other people from Maryland and 114 found out where he was, drove to

01:06:43 --> 01:06:50

him and paste him to the finish. Wow. You know, there's, there's a

01:06:50 --> 01:06:54

young lady who's 13, I believe, will memorize logoff and man the

01:06:54 --> 01:07:02

marathon. Wow. And so there's 13 Oh, okay. So, yeah. And so. And

01:07:02 --> 01:07:06

then there are, you know, my father who's 81, who just walked

01:07:06 --> 01:07:08

it. I mean, there's you have, you have the talent, and you have the

01:07:08 --> 01:07:11

elite athletes, and you have the young folks, you know, you have

01:07:11 --> 01:07:15

people who are rocking it, you don't necessarily have to run it.

01:07:15 --> 01:07:16

Yeah.

01:07:17 --> 01:07:21

But showing up is a big deal. That's it showing up showing up.

01:07:21 --> 01:07:25

And I think there's there's value to the impetuous nature of some

01:07:25 --> 01:07:31

people that don't want to have a discussion and want action. And

01:07:31 --> 01:07:37

they're there. You gotta be very fraid of thinking. Because

01:07:37 --> 01:07:42

thinking you will your mind your knifes will use your brain to

01:07:42 --> 01:07:47

think you out of action. And that's why thinking is a problem.

01:07:47 --> 01:07:48

Right? And

01:07:49 --> 01:07:52

thinking in that location, in that time is a problem. Now, let me ask

01:07:52 --> 01:07:56

you another controversial question. Sure. Treadmill versus

01:07:56 --> 01:07:59

being out in the road? Always out on the road.

01:08:00 --> 01:08:07

But yeah, I'll tell you why. I just think, can you hear me? Yeah,

01:08:07 --> 01:08:08

we got

01:08:09 --> 01:08:12

some interesting, I'm getting a call from Chef. Yes. And while I'm

01:08:12 --> 01:08:12

talking to Chef shed

01:08:16 --> 01:08:20

his older brother, by the way, for those who may not have realized

01:08:20 --> 01:08:23

that from the name, but yes, in fact, he is always on celebrate

01:08:23 --> 01:08:27

mercy. He's from New Jersey, North Jersey, and his organization is

01:08:27 --> 01:08:30

called prophetic living. And this is his older brother.

01:08:31 --> 01:08:37

Okay, talk to me. So I believe, yeah, we are a tradition that

01:08:37 --> 01:08:40

needs to be outside, that, you know, it's a carousel that we're

01:08:40 --> 01:08:44

always inside, you know, we, you know, my shoes, that revelation

01:08:44 --> 01:08:49

came in the mountains, that's why the logo of 114 is the mountains

01:08:49 --> 01:08:55

of the Quran in the middle. And whenever I am down, whenever I am

01:08:56 --> 01:09:01

dressed, when I always go out, you know, I'm always out. And so I'm a

01:09:01 --> 01:09:07

big believer that being home is, you know, like the Bedouin say,

01:09:07 --> 01:09:11

the graves of the living. So I was always err on the side of being

01:09:11 --> 01:09:16

outside and being in nature, I feel better. I and ideally with

01:09:16 --> 01:09:19

other people, you know, and now having said that, I do like the

01:09:19 --> 01:09:23

treadmill for some trackwork

01:09:25 --> 01:09:32

work. You know, you get you get faster by doing intervals of hard

01:09:32 --> 01:09:36

and easy Oh, I should, it should never be in the middle as opposed

01:09:36 --> 01:09:39

to us as you know, as a people or people in the middle. You should

01:09:39 --> 01:09:43

never train in the middle. You should oscillate between very easy

01:09:43 --> 01:09:46

and very hard. And so when you when you're doing those kinds of

01:09:46 --> 01:09:48

efforts, where you're running intensely for three minutes and

01:09:48 --> 01:09:52

then walking for three minutes to recover. treadmills really good

01:09:52 --> 01:09:52

for that.

01:09:53 --> 01:09:57

When I'm babysitting, you know, or I'm with my children, obviously

01:09:57 --> 01:09:59

treadmill and I have to watch all the children

01:10:00 --> 01:10:04

Then the treadmill becomes ideal because so you're hoping around.

01:10:04 --> 01:10:09

Yeah. Mm hmm. And it's also for inclement weather, inclement

01:10:09 --> 01:10:12

weather, although even inclement weather like to be out, you know,

01:10:12 --> 01:10:15

and that's a function of training in the UK, you know, there is no,

01:10:15 --> 01:10:19

they don't say there's no bad weather, just bad. Bad clothing

01:10:19 --> 01:10:27

option. Yeah. Let me ask you this. If someone did, treadmill, and out

01:10:27 --> 01:10:33

in the road, what's the percentage of the tread itself removing the

01:10:33 --> 01:10:39

benefit from the run? Like, is it removing 10% or 40%? The rule of

01:10:39 --> 01:10:42

thumb with the treadmill if you want to mimic the road is to keep

01:10:42 --> 01:10:47

it on the incline of one at the very least. Okay, okay. Yeah. And

01:10:47 --> 01:10:53

so, that kind of, I think offsets the difference. Okay. I see. Good,

01:10:53 --> 01:10:56

good, good. All right. This has been very good. Now the event is

01:10:56 --> 01:10:57

September,

01:10:58 --> 01:11:04

September, this, the virtual event is September 16, and 17. For those

01:11:04 --> 01:11:08

New Jersey. There's one, you know, there's like a flagship race in

01:11:08 --> 01:11:12

North Jersey, which we're opening you're gonna show up at coming on

01:11:12 --> 01:11:15

September 16. It's on my schedule. Okay, fantastic. Yeah. And then.

01:11:16 --> 01:11:18

So it's the Quran days on Saturday, and then the runs on

01:11:18 --> 01:11:21

Sunday. But you can do it virtually anywhere in the world.

01:11:21 --> 01:11:25

And you'll see, there'll be a bunch of people doing it in Turkey

01:11:25 --> 01:11:30

and Egypt and Dubai and Exodus. And then there's another in person

01:11:30 --> 01:11:32

race in Maryland in October.

01:11:33 --> 01:11:40

So in person is September 17. Yeah, it's the Quran day where we

01:11:40 --> 01:11:44

have like, lectures on Quran, it's really fantastic, beautiful day

01:11:44 --> 01:11:49

plus the test is on Saturday, then the runs on Sunday, and your score

01:11:49 --> 01:11:53

is a combined score of both. We have a system that for example,

01:11:53 --> 01:11:58

there's like an almost semi elite athlete last year that loss to a

01:11:58 --> 01:12:02

normal person because normal person had perfect to smear. Oh,

01:12:02 --> 01:12:06

you keep score. Oh, no, there's a score. And there's winners. And

01:12:06 --> 01:12:08

there's everything. I didn't realize that okay. Oh, yeah. No,

01:12:08 --> 01:12:11

they're not there are people who are in it to win it, you know,

01:12:11 --> 01:12:15

it's really good. And so you you, you get a combat, you got a Quran

01:12:15 --> 01:12:19

score, a running score, which is your time, and the combination of

01:12:19 --> 01:12:23

both gives you your 114 score. Oh, I see. I see. That's pretty smart.

01:12:23 --> 01:12:28

That's very smart. And the test is you're out of 100 and then you

01:12:28 --> 01:12:32

till you lose points for the test Mia right for something very exact

01:12:32 --> 01:12:34

something. And then

01:12:36 --> 01:12:38

and then the the fastest the running then the numbers is easy,

01:12:38 --> 01:12:42

because that's basically exactly the fastest one. Okay, you have a

01:12:42 --> 01:12:45

whole system that scores and stack ranks people and there are people

01:12:45 --> 01:12:47

who care a lot about that. And there are people who just want to

01:12:47 --> 01:12:51

show up. Yeah, which is just in the state bar. And the one thing

01:12:51 --> 01:12:55

we say is that even if you have half the sort of memorize, still

01:12:55 --> 01:12:58

show up, don't let perfection be the enemy of good come even if you

01:12:58 --> 01:13:01

have it if you're gonna walk it and you'll have a fourth of the

01:13:01 --> 01:13:05

sort of memory still come. Yeah, yeah. All right. Very good. I hope

01:13:05 --> 01:13:11

to see people there. And I hope that our guys here on on the live

01:13:11 --> 01:13:15

stream. If you want to be part of this go to one. There are a lot of

01:13:15 --> 01:13:21

people out of London. Okay, doing this. There are a lot of people so

01:13:21 --> 01:13:25

in London, we need to hook you up with the crema Foundation. They

01:13:25 --> 01:13:29

love this kind of thing, right? They're all about and we need to

01:13:29 --> 01:13:32

hook you up with unser shake on so

01:13:34 --> 01:13:38

I lived there for 12 years. I speak London. Yeah. So he lived

01:13:38 --> 01:13:42

there in London. So if you are out of London, if you know Schiff,

01:13:42 --> 01:13:46

unsought, if you know, the Karima foundation guys, send this their

01:13:46 --> 01:13:49

way. I'm telling you, they will love this kind of thing, because

01:13:49 --> 01:13:54

they're practical organizations that want to engage people at a

01:13:54 --> 01:13:59

level that is very useful for their life. More so than just

01:13:59 --> 01:14:01

theory. Alright, so

01:14:03 --> 01:14:06

I guess we're gonna have footage and we're gonna update now I'm

01:14:06 --> 01:14:10

stuck now because I just said it. We're gonna have footage. I'll

01:14:10 --> 01:14:16

take my family, their dog get the footage of us running, right? And

01:14:16 --> 01:14:19

then we put me if it works out, we'll put on the live stream. So

01:14:19 --> 01:14:23

you get the evidence, Ducati evidence that we did it. Right,

01:14:23 --> 01:14:26

Daisy. Great. All right, so we'll let you get back to your the next

01:14:26 --> 01:14:28

10 Miles inshallah.

01:14:29 --> 01:14:32

And we'll have you on every once in a while as a fitness

01:14:32 --> 01:14:34

correspondent. John, I'd love

01:14:35 --> 01:14:36

to thank you so much.

01:14:40 --> 01:14:43

All right. All right. Let's get his picture on the thumbnail to

01:14:43 --> 01:14:45

tell the thumbnail guys put his picture on there. They're probably

01:14:45 --> 01:14:49

going to want to clip it out and put it for their organization,

01:14:50 --> 01:14:50

right.

01:14:52 --> 01:14:55

One to spread the news just to get everybody

01:14:57 --> 01:15:00

on board with this. And to to me

01:15:00 --> 01:15:03

It could happen because, you know, we got to stay busy. And we got to

01:15:03 --> 01:15:06

stay healthy. And, and especially in this day and age the whole

01:15:06 --> 01:15:11

world is sitting. I used to think only the Allamah are sitting. No,

01:15:11 --> 01:15:14

everyone's sitting. It is sitting everyone's sitting.

01:15:16 --> 01:15:20

Speaking of action, we have a whole nother segment here. It's

01:15:20 --> 01:15:22

not a long segment, but listen to this.

01:15:24 --> 01:15:29

Can you shout out lock Cosina and the back to school drive. Okay.

01:15:30 --> 01:15:38

Go to lock Cosina 367 dot o RG everybody. Lock Cosina 367 dot

01:15:38 --> 01:15:43

orgy. And if you're on Instagram go to at Loc Cosina 367. Why is

01:15:43 --> 01:15:49

367 Is it a special verse in the Quran? It is secret. Sufi

01:15:49 --> 01:15:53

numerology is the address of the building. 367 is the address of

01:15:53 --> 01:15:55

the building block. Christina is a very common name. It just means

01:15:55 --> 01:16:00

the kitchen in Spanish, okay. And the kitchen is a place where all

01:16:00 --> 01:16:05

good things happen. Right? Think about this. Hey, the good things

01:16:05 --> 01:16:08

happen to the good food is made. Food is eaten. Food is shared

01:16:08 --> 01:16:14

conversations happen. discussion happens. We transmit our beliefs,

01:16:14 --> 01:16:18

our politics, our manners, and a lot of knowledge to our children.

01:16:18 --> 01:16:23

Were at the kitchen table. How about edit? Most adab revolve

01:16:23 --> 01:16:23

around food.

01:16:25 --> 01:16:29

Right? The Edit of sharing the edit of not overeating, the edit

01:16:29 --> 01:16:33

of cleaning your mouth. Don't eat what your mouthful with Adam

01:16:33 --> 01:16:37

always come submission. Right? And for the parent, the kitchen is a

01:16:37 --> 01:16:41

place of learning sub. Right? Because you got to learn, hold on,

01:16:41 --> 01:16:45

I can't correct 10 out of 10 things, right? That kid's gonna go

01:16:45 --> 01:16:50

crazy. I got to have sub, pick your battles. You got to learn how

01:16:50 --> 01:16:54

to engage everyone at the table. The kitchen is a place where you

01:16:54 --> 01:16:57

know if something's troubling somebody because if someone's not

01:16:57 --> 01:16:59

talking, right,

01:17:00 --> 01:17:04

if someone's not eating, you know something's wrong. The kitchen is

01:17:04 --> 01:17:10

where the therapy begins, right? It's where you get to know the

01:17:10 --> 01:17:13

state of everybody else. The kitchen is one of the most the

01:17:13 --> 01:17:15

it's one of the most wonderful things and one of the most

01:17:15 --> 01:17:19

wonderful feelings. So that's why we call it that. And our goal by

01:17:19 --> 01:17:24

2030 in the late hours, seven days a week dinners, it's gonna be a

01:17:24 --> 01:17:30

big team is gonna be a stretch, a sturdy building, and be used seven

01:17:30 --> 01:17:34

days a week. And I think we're gonna cap it off at 100 people a

01:17:34 --> 01:17:35

week. Right? We have to cap it off.

01:17:37 --> 01:17:44

150 So Han Allah yesterday, we we burst through our past record with

01:17:44 --> 01:17:49

150 human beings came to us

01:17:50 --> 01:17:54

to get a bite of food Subhanallah the man this all started way back

01:17:54 --> 01:18:01

in the year 2016 I believe, where we would go out and we I'm telling

01:18:01 --> 01:18:05

you we started with 10 hamburgers. We went off and it was after vicar

01:18:05 --> 01:18:07

night. And I knew we want to do it.

01:18:08 --> 01:18:12

And I'm like Alright, everyone. I took a goofy off someone's head.

01:18:12 --> 01:18:15

And I said, Everyone put empty your pockets in this. We're gonna

01:18:15 --> 01:18:16

go

01:18:17 --> 01:18:20

and work right after this thick or we're going to go out down and

01:18:20 --> 01:18:22

we're going to buy a bunch of hamburgers, and we're going to

01:18:22 --> 01:18:25

hand them out. And we did that was cold. It was January I think it

01:18:25 --> 01:18:27

was December. It was cold. We didn't know we were doing was

01:18:27 --> 01:18:29

walking around looking for homeless people.

01:18:30 --> 01:18:34

Eventually, after a few months of that, we felt we got into a

01:18:34 --> 01:18:38

groove. And that's the beauty of and we still do this. And us and

01:18:38 --> 01:18:42

Harris still do this. Where there's a corner between the

01:18:42 --> 01:18:47

Walgreens and the park in New Brunswick and Sam's chickens on

01:18:47 --> 01:18:49

the other side. Hello. And

01:18:50 --> 01:18:54

and that we that's our area. And Ennis would open up his truck.

01:18:55 --> 01:19:00

Blast then people would come we give out the food. Right? And

01:19:00 --> 01:19:05

certain families in the community. They would, they would they would

01:19:05 --> 01:19:08

cook their food and they would pour in a container like just

01:19:08 --> 01:19:12

three or four or five containers. That's it. Right? That means like

01:19:12 --> 01:19:15

imagine you had an extra kid in the house. Just that but you do

01:19:15 --> 01:19:17

that every day that's five containers you drop it off at

01:19:17 --> 01:19:18

Joomla

01:19:19 --> 01:19:22

and as comes gets from Joomla and now they do and they and they go

01:19:22 --> 01:19:26

do the run. And I said guys eventually we want to bring the

01:19:26 --> 01:19:29

people to us, rather than coming out is not efficient. We didn't

01:19:29 --> 01:19:33

have a walk we'd have a building and bring the people to us and

01:19:33 --> 01:19:36

that's what we do now net and Masha Allah we hit another

01:19:36 --> 01:19:42

milestone and other record 150 people came to the Cosina lasts

01:19:42 --> 01:19:43

last night,

01:19:44 --> 01:19:49

masha Allah, and we want to replicate the seven days a week,

01:19:50 --> 01:19:51

seven days a week.

01:19:53 --> 01:19:57

All right every night there's no excuse for anyone to go hungry in

01:19:57 --> 01:19:59

this area when Muslims are there. That's what the mentality should

01:19:59 --> 01:19:59

be.

01:20:00 --> 01:20:02

Muslims are here. No one's go hungry. That's that's how we

01:20:02 --> 01:20:05

should be. We haven't done our job in the United States if that's the

01:20:05 --> 01:20:08

case, because we all came here, not as blue collar laborers like

01:20:08 --> 01:20:13

England, not as people who are miskeen themselves. In England. We

01:20:13 --> 01:20:16

came here as engineers and doctors and lawyers, talking about my

01:20:16 --> 01:20:19

generation Muslims have been or my parents generation, Muslims have

01:20:19 --> 01:20:23

been there before us them right. And there have been Muslims here

01:20:23 --> 01:20:27

before that. But talking about our generation, our culture, the

01:20:27 --> 01:20:31

dominant culture of Muslims today in America is this is that you

01:20:31 --> 01:20:34

came here, you got highly educated, and you got highly

01:20:34 --> 01:20:38

wealthy. If that's if that's even an expression. It's disgusting.

01:20:38 --> 01:20:43

The concept that we have a dean that is all about feeding.

01:20:46 --> 01:20:48

Where there is a masjid, if there is an

01:20:50 --> 01:20:54

impoverished part of town within five miles, it should be the

01:20:54 --> 01:20:58

imperative of that Masjid. To buy a little property. Let's buy a

01:20:58 --> 01:21:02

shack. Seriously, just buy a shack, rent it out, even

01:21:03 --> 01:21:06

buy a shack, you got these mega masajid I'm telling you, I go to

01:21:06 --> 01:21:11

some of these places. Right? And I tell them, You disgust me. You

01:21:11 --> 01:21:16

literally disgust me. Right? Because it's a mega, it's a court

01:21:16 --> 01:21:20

the chandelier by itself. If you sold these three chandeliers, you

01:21:20 --> 01:21:22

buy a house in the hood.

01:21:24 --> 01:21:29

In the poor part of town, right? Buy a house there. Every one of

01:21:29 --> 01:21:34

you, in the families in this mosque every day, or at least once

01:21:34 --> 01:21:39

a week. Get one container. That's it just one container. And fill it

01:21:39 --> 01:21:42

a container this big. Fill it and cover it you can buy all the

01:21:42 --> 01:21:44

containers from amazon for like $3

01:21:46 --> 01:21:49

and bring it to the masjid every friday every friday. One volunteer

01:21:49 --> 01:21:54

goes takes it to the house. And then it's distributed. Right? So

01:21:54 --> 01:21:57

easy. Allah was going to bless you if you do this.

01:21:59 --> 01:22:01

We only have time for one or two questions, ladies and gentlemen.

01:22:03 --> 01:22:04

So here we go.

01:22:19 --> 01:22:22

We got some people in Houston as out of the question thrown

01:22:22 --> 01:22:26

outside. Yeah, of course. But is it going to be cold? That hot in

01:22:26 --> 01:22:30

September? That's my question in Texas. Is it that hot in

01:22:30 --> 01:22:32

September? That's my question.

01:22:33 --> 01:22:37

Because September should things are so hot in the beginning, but

01:22:37 --> 01:22:39

towards the end, maybe they're cooled off.

01:22:41 --> 01:22:45

The hard part is taking action 100% That's why you got to do it

01:22:45 --> 01:22:48

without thinking. It's almost like that shaytaan is going to come

01:22:48 --> 01:22:50

when you give charity the province I said and said 70 shades on will

01:22:50 --> 01:22:51

come and stop you.

01:22:52 --> 01:22:55

How are they going to stop you? They're going to give you rational

01:22:55 --> 01:22:59

reasons or seemingly rational reasons not to give sadaqa Okay.

01:23:03 --> 01:23:06

I'll say it again. If there is a mega masjid, and you have an

01:23:06 --> 01:23:08

impoverished part of town five miles away.

01:23:10 --> 01:23:14

You disgust me. You are disgusting. You are selfish.

01:23:15 --> 01:23:21

For 60,000 bucks, you could rent a place you could buy a place.

01:23:22 --> 01:23:27

Right? Put their Mega masjids You disgust me? That's the timestamp.

01:23:28 --> 01:23:34

Okay? Because it's selfish. You're selfish, right? stomachs walking

01:23:34 --> 01:23:37

around full. And the prophets I send them said your neighbor's

01:23:37 --> 01:23:43

stomach is empty. Okay. It is not so hard. We will as Muslims. I'm

01:23:43 --> 01:23:43

telling you

01:23:45 --> 01:23:47

make a humongous difference

01:23:48 --> 01:23:53

in the country. If we just act upon this one thing. Every masters

01:23:53 --> 01:23:54

have to have a little soup kitchen.

01:23:55 --> 01:23:58

It's not that hard. Right? They said oh, how do you register?

01:23:58 --> 01:24:02

Register? Register? What? Oh, what is this thing that it's a house

01:24:02 --> 01:24:05

invitation. I own a house and it's an invitation. I don't have to

01:24:05 --> 01:24:09

register for this. Right? I don't I don't need to. I don't need to

01:24:09 --> 01:24:13

register for this. Oh, are you a registered soup kitchen? That's

01:24:13 --> 01:24:17

what you're worried about? That's what you're worried about?

01:24:18 --> 01:24:22

No, I own a home. Safina foundation owns a home and we're

01:24:22 --> 01:24:24

having a dinner party. What's wrong with that? I don't need a

01:24:24 --> 01:24:27

registration for this. And you're worried. See, I'm telling you

01:24:27 --> 01:24:29

shaytaan comes and messes with people's head. That's what you're

01:24:29 --> 01:24:32

worried about. Are you officially registered to call yourself a soup

01:24:32 --> 01:24:35

kitchen? Oh, wait, can you show me somewhere in the archives of the

01:24:35 --> 01:24:40

news that someone went to jail by calling itself a soup kitchen when

01:24:40 --> 01:24:43

it was officially registered as a soup kitchen? Please.

01:24:45 --> 01:24:47

Okay, fine. Call it something whatever you want to call them.

01:24:49 --> 01:24:52

Tips for someone who's suicidal and depressed. Oh in Nola. You

01:24:52 --> 01:24:55

wouldn't know that. Maybe you called contact the clinical center

01:24:58 --> 01:25:00

contact the Legal Center.

01:25:00 --> 01:25:04

or if you're suicidal, depressed, and maybe even contact 911 like

01:25:04 --> 01:25:07

you need to protect yourself from yourself. Okay?

01:25:09 --> 01:25:12

Oh my goodness Martinelli has got it down if you had a soup kitchen

01:25:12 --> 01:25:16

and a basketball court games over games over

01:25:17 --> 01:25:20

games over that is perfect. Okay.

01:25:22 --> 01:25:25

You know that some people say oh you say this stuff you disgust me

01:25:25 --> 01:25:29

it's harsh. It's rude. It's not that's just how we are over here.

01:25:29 --> 01:25:30

It's not harsh or rude

01:25:35 --> 01:25:39

it's facts right? And people got to move well, at least we got your

01:25:39 --> 01:25:42

attention to the facts right

01:25:44 --> 01:25:45

Can you get

01:25:46 --> 01:25:49

my face on the thumbnail? Can you tell them we didn't you know that

01:25:49 --> 01:25:51

we don't even know who's making the thumbnails. Me and Omar

01:25:51 --> 01:25:52

sitting here and it's getting uploaded, huh?

01:25:54 --> 01:25:55

Is it no one

01:25:57 --> 01:25:57

would have a good picture

01:26:00 --> 01:26:00

look him up.

01:26:02 --> 01:26:03

Or just take a screenshot

01:26:06 --> 01:26:07

No, they never came up.

01:26:11 --> 01:26:14

I read Warren Buffett was like that he used to come home and

01:26:14 --> 01:26:16

literally step over his crying child and go into work mode.

01:26:20 --> 01:26:25

I don't know what that's all about that comment the context. But from

01:26:25 --> 01:26:28

J Perez who is a regular commenter here. But

01:26:31 --> 01:26:34

you know, workaholics is very dangerous thing. You know that

01:26:34 --> 01:26:37

workaholic is very dangerous thing. All bad did Footloose.

01:26:38 --> 01:26:42

That's what they are all bad of Footloose. They worshippers of

01:26:42 --> 01:26:46

money. Like I love the concept of productivity is one thing, but

01:26:46 --> 01:26:51

productivity, who's telling us what's valuable? Right?

01:26:53 --> 01:26:56

Who is telling us what's valuable, like I don't like to waste a

01:26:56 --> 01:27:01

moment of time is it disgusts me to waste time. Right? Even rest is

01:27:01 --> 01:27:07

calculated, rest is calculated. Even downtime is calculated as a

01:27:07 --> 01:27:09

benefit with your family or something.

01:27:10 --> 01:27:16

It's the question is productivity according to whom? Allah dunya or

01:27:16 --> 01:27:19

Allah Allah and Allah is one who tells us what's valuable and if

01:27:19 --> 01:27:21

somebody imagines that,

01:27:22 --> 01:27:26

like human contact is not the most valuable thing, they're they're

01:27:26 --> 01:27:30

lying to you. human context is one of the most valuable things

01:27:30 --> 01:27:33

especially your family context. That's the most valuable thing you

01:27:33 --> 01:27:37

get out of the billion dollar in the bank but

01:27:38 --> 01:27:41

if your immediate human relations your family your wife, your child,

01:27:41 --> 01:27:45

your husband, your spouse, your kids your parents have you have a

01:27:45 --> 01:27:47

cell relationship with them then that money means nothing you can't

01:27:47 --> 01:27:48

even enjoy it

01:27:55 --> 01:27:58

what do we got from Instagram read me anything from Instagram because

01:27:58 --> 01:27:59

I can't see it here

01:28:05 --> 01:28:07

in Cali heading to stay tuned for opening day question. What is the

01:28:07 --> 01:28:09

best approach to finding a chef as a mentor?

01:28:10 --> 01:28:14

The best approach to finding a chef is to constantly and

01:28:14 --> 01:28:18

consistently go to different gatherings read different books

01:28:18 --> 01:28:20

watch different videos just expose yourself

01:28:22 --> 01:28:23

to schewe.

01:28:26 --> 01:28:27

Allah will guide you to what is best for you

01:28:30 --> 01:28:35

i for when it comes to fitness was targeting a mentor I thought will

01:28:35 --> 01:28:36

be best for me.

01:28:38 --> 01:28:41

Never answered me right he promised me and everything but he

01:28:41 --> 01:28:43

never answered me another one

01:28:44 --> 01:28:50

we just it just happened and boom got a mentor now or coach

01:28:53 --> 01:28:56

Todd had Alma tells us there's some sad news.

01:28:58 --> 01:29:03

Pakistani boy killed himself over the Niagara Falls

01:29:04 --> 01:29:08

that's very sad news may Allah Tala you forgive him for that and

01:29:08 --> 01:29:13

entering him its agenda. Okay, because it is a sin. He's not

01:29:13 --> 01:29:16

damned to * forever. for committing suicide. So we have to

01:29:16 --> 01:29:19

ask ALLAH forgive him and enter him into Jana.

01:29:20 --> 01:29:26

Okay. Let me read this question here this comment that says

01:29:32 --> 01:29:34

whereas say here is about

01:29:35 --> 01:29:39

it was about these masajid getting soup kitchens. Can we visit La

01:29:39 --> 01:29:42

cuisine on Wednesday and try to replicate it back home? Yes. Sati

01:29:43 --> 01:29:44

is here. You can visit it Wednesday.

01:29:46 --> 01:29:49

Okay, five, six o'clock doors open.

01:29:51 --> 01:29:55

Come earlier at 530 and you can help volunteer, right volunteers

01:29:55 --> 01:29:59

are handpicked. But you can observe at least you can observe

01:29:59 --> 01:29:59

how they do it.

01:30:01 --> 01:30:04

Why do I say volunteers are handpicked because volunteers of

01:30:04 --> 01:30:08

the soup kitchen must also have the capacity to give Dawa and to

01:30:08 --> 01:30:13

teach. Just like the 114 is like running and it's half Quran. This

01:30:13 --> 01:30:15

is not a secular soup kitchen said it wants to say it a million times

01:30:15 --> 01:30:20

it is soup kitchen with the intent of Dawa all of our volunteers and

01:30:20 --> 01:30:23

some have snuck in. Without me knowing, right?

01:30:24 --> 01:30:28

But that's okay. The volunteers, the main people, the leadership

01:30:28 --> 01:30:33

must have the vision of Dawa and must have the ability to teach

01:30:33 --> 01:30:35

people the basics of Islam.

01:30:37 --> 01:30:37

Okay,

01:30:38 --> 01:30:43

will I be at the event tomorrow at 8pm? Yes, I will be Islam in Japan

01:30:43 --> 01:30:48

Jolla. Question on the Hadith about its mid being good for the

01:30:48 --> 01:30:52

eyes and hair growth. What type of hair are we talking about? The

01:30:52 --> 01:30:55

eyelashes. The prophets. I said them said that when you put the

01:30:55 --> 01:30:56

black coat

01:30:58 --> 01:31:00

on your eyes, it's good for

01:31:01 --> 01:31:05

the eyes and the growth of the eyelashes. And it's something to

01:31:05 --> 01:31:08

be done at the night in the nighttime and washed off in the

01:31:08 --> 01:31:08

daytime.

01:31:10 --> 01:31:10

Okay,

01:31:12 --> 01:31:16

Arman Rashad hamdulillah my Masjid has a local soup kitchen. Good.

01:31:17 --> 01:31:20

This is our role in America. Forget this politics. I'm telling

01:31:20 --> 01:31:22

you. What good has come from it. Tell me what good has come from

01:31:22 --> 01:31:24

maybe someone can cite stories here and there.

01:31:26 --> 01:31:30

Right? Oh, Muslims in politics, Muslims in sports, Muslims in

01:31:30 --> 01:31:30

Hollywood.

01:31:32 --> 01:31:36

Islam, it's a religion, it's a granular religion, it means it

01:31:36 --> 01:31:41

comes for the everyday person. And it comes for everyday things

01:31:41 --> 01:31:45

right? That's what's going to make the difference. Or Islam in

01:31:45 --> 01:31:48

America is when the everyday people

01:31:49 --> 01:31:53

are just 10% different than everybody else in the sense of

01:31:53 --> 01:31:59

what they're doing. Right? Just extract 10% from somebody 5% from

01:31:59 --> 01:32:05

somebody even 1% right but from a million people all of a sudden you

01:32:05 --> 01:32:08

have a massive difference whereas the big things that catch your

01:32:08 --> 01:32:13

attention Muslims in this Muslims in that Muslims in this Muslims in

01:32:13 --> 01:32:19

that it doesn't permanently move the needle it just slightly. Okay,

01:32:19 --> 01:32:21

we have a Muslim who won the Olympics.

01:32:22 --> 01:32:27

So it's fleeting. But the true difference that will make Islam in

01:32:27 --> 01:32:28

America something

01:32:30 --> 01:32:35

that will transform the country is when every single Muslim is like

01:32:35 --> 01:32:38

2% a contributor. That's what we need.

01:32:39 --> 01:32:43

What is m Hamza saying on Instagram Omar?

01:32:48 --> 01:32:51

What is the Hadith regarding addicts not entering gender and is

01:32:51 --> 01:32:55

it authentic? The addict not entering Jana? No, I never that's

01:32:55 --> 01:32:58

it may be there may be a hadith on that. I can't tell you. There's no

01:32:58 --> 01:33:03

Hadith on that. But the addict addiction does not remove one from

01:33:03 --> 01:33:06

Islam. Therefore there is the ability for them to be forgiven.

01:33:06 --> 01:33:10

Oh, gee, Muslim, how can I start liquidating in my city, I'm not

01:33:10 --> 01:33:12

affiliated with any ministry. Here's how you do it. You get a

01:33:12 --> 01:33:16

group of friends together. You say Hey, everyone, give me five bucks.

01:33:16 --> 01:33:23

And let's go. Okay, now, if you if she's a Muslim, you need the guys

01:33:23 --> 01:33:25

to go into these neighborhoods if they're not good neighborhoods,

01:33:25 --> 01:33:30

but you can kick it off. And you could be the leader by saying

01:33:30 --> 01:33:32

everyone give up kick up five bucks in the beginning just like

01:33:32 --> 01:33:37

that right? Every Friday so and so we'll go deliver the food and get

01:33:37 --> 01:33:39

your son your get your husband you get your

01:33:40 --> 01:33:43

whoever to go. And sometimes some sisters have gone with us to see

01:33:43 --> 01:33:46

what's going on in the daytime when it was safe because sometimes

01:33:46 --> 01:33:49

there's a lot of drunks, there's a lot of bad things going on at

01:33:49 --> 01:33:53

nighttime. Even in the daytime, a lot of high people. So you go to

01:33:53 --> 01:33:56

the area that is filled with the Pokhara walking around in the

01:33:56 --> 01:33:56

street.

01:33:58 --> 01:34:01

And you handle some burgers, or you make food but here's the

01:34:01 --> 01:34:09

thing. You corner yourself into a schedule every Friday, every

01:34:09 --> 01:34:13

Friday. I don't care what happens every Friday we're going out and

01:34:13 --> 01:34:18

someone is taking food from us. Whether that be a big tray, or

01:34:18 --> 01:34:22

many little trays, or you buy sandwiches which is inefficient,

01:34:22 --> 01:34:25

cost too much money. The best thing is to go out and make the

01:34:25 --> 01:34:30

food and at home trays. Some pasta, but sorry, not a big tray

01:34:30 --> 01:34:33

because that's not efficiently many little trays. Right? So you

01:34:33 --> 01:34:36

make the vat of food or the pot of food or whatever and you put it in

01:34:36 --> 01:34:37

little trays.

01:34:38 --> 01:34:42

You buy the trays from amazon for like three bucks. You get trays

01:34:42 --> 01:34:46

for two months, right little plastic containers like to go

01:34:46 --> 01:34:47

containers at a restaurant

01:34:50 --> 01:34:55

345 10 That's it, but it has to be every Friday. cannot miss a

01:34:55 --> 01:34:59

Friday. cannot miss a Friday and the row

01:35:00 --> 01:35:03

As the food runs when we used to do them to three minutes,

01:35:03 --> 01:35:06

sometimes sometimes literally three minutes we walk in, there's

01:35:06 --> 01:35:10

guys with their take the foot, boom, we leave. But when you do it

01:35:10 --> 01:35:14

every single Friday, the snowball grows. Right that's how it works.

01:35:15 --> 01:35:19

If a family offers me share in a Hillel business but you fear the

01:35:19 --> 01:35:23

business was funded by money from Ribault is this valid reasons to

01:35:23 --> 01:35:29

decline it? Yes, it is. If the contract to start the business was

01:35:29 --> 01:35:34

invalid, but if the contract to start the business was cash that

01:35:34 --> 01:35:38

someone brought in and there is a possibility that that cash could

01:35:38 --> 01:35:42

be also be held? It's mixed money, then you could take the business

01:35:43 --> 01:35:46

okay. And if you don't want the business Give it to me I'll take

01:35:46 --> 01:35:47

half the business go

01:35:51 --> 01:35:54

what is the Hadith regarding addicts monitoring? Jana? We

01:35:54 --> 01:35:56

answered that one, please tell us the procedure start like a scene

01:35:56 --> 01:35:59

or massage. That's how you do it. So Oh, my Madame.

01:36:00 --> 01:36:05

Madame, you heard just rewind three minutes. And that's where

01:36:05 --> 01:36:10

that's what you can get that the answer to your question. It starts

01:36:10 --> 01:36:15

by us going to them. Okay. When people see this after for five

01:36:15 --> 01:36:18

years, we don't come for five years here, right? of just doing

01:36:18 --> 01:36:19

that.

01:36:20 --> 01:36:23

Then someone swooped in and said we'll get you get we're giving you

01:36:23 --> 01:36:27

guys a property. And they paid the downpayment,

01:36:28 --> 01:36:30

the close and then and then we

01:36:31 --> 01:36:33

go took over after that.

01:36:37 --> 01:36:40

This is this is this is if you ask me a vision for Muslims in

01:36:40 --> 01:36:43

America, it'd be too simple. People, people will think it's not

01:36:43 --> 01:36:46

a vision, it is a vision. And it's the right vision. And this works

01:36:46 --> 01:36:50

gonna work Islam as a granular religion changes granular when

01:36:50 --> 01:36:53

regular guys can do it. Regular women can do it, regular human

01:36:53 --> 01:36:55

beings can do it busy people can do it.

01:36:56 --> 01:37:01

But now you're setting it. It's happening by millions upon

01:37:01 --> 01:37:03

millions of people are doing this behavior.

01:37:05 --> 01:37:08

That's where you're gonna have changed, it's changed is not going

01:37:08 --> 01:37:11

to come by a few people getting someone elected to a state

01:37:11 --> 01:37:12

Congress or something.

01:37:14 --> 01:37:16

Someone said, Well, why are you so down about that? I said, because

01:37:17 --> 01:37:20

why don't we go look, if you think that Muslims getting Muslims in

01:37:20 --> 01:37:23

politics is going to change the situation? Then why aren't the

01:37:23 --> 01:37:27

Muslim countries the best countries? Right? Go to Pakistan,

01:37:27 --> 01:37:32

all governments Muslim? Where did it get them? Go to? Egypt, all

01:37:32 --> 01:37:34

governments Muslim? Where did it get them?

01:37:35 --> 01:37:36

Right?

01:37:38 --> 01:37:41

I'm down on it. When people put this as this is the goal to

01:37:41 --> 01:37:45

celebrate? Like, this is the big I just don't see it. I don't buy it.

01:37:46 --> 01:37:48

It doesn't mean I'm 100% right about it. And that doesn't mean

01:37:48 --> 01:37:52

I'm looking at every perspective on it doesn't mean that the person

01:37:52 --> 01:37:54

who has an opposite opinion isn't correct.

01:37:55 --> 01:37:56

It's just my

01:37:57 --> 01:37:59

take on it. versus asking

01:38:00 --> 01:38:03

advice for someone to suicide on depressed if you want to repeat

01:38:03 --> 01:38:06

advice for someone suicidal and depressed, pick up the phone right

01:38:06 --> 01:38:11

now dial 911 Let them take custody of you so you don't hurt yourself.

01:38:13 --> 01:38:16

I believe that's the case. If you're suicidal, you cannot trust

01:38:16 --> 01:38:23

yourself. Call 911 or if you if you put on this in the in the chat

01:38:23 --> 01:38:26

where you're located. We'll call 911 for you because we're

01:38:26 --> 01:38:28

obligated to by law.

01:38:29 --> 01:38:34

If anyone by morals and by law, if anyone tells you they're suicidal.

01:38:35 --> 01:38:38

You know that we're obligated as Masjid employees, right? If

01:38:38 --> 01:38:41

someone comes to the mosque and says I got bruised my husband hit

01:38:41 --> 01:38:43

me. I'm sorry. You told me that I have to call the police. No, I

01:38:43 --> 01:38:48

have to by law. Right? If someone says I'm suicidal, well, you told

01:38:48 --> 01:38:51

me it's too late. I don't care what you say to me next 911 Come

01:38:51 --> 01:38:54

take this person. They can't guard them. They cannot be trusted with

01:38:54 --> 01:38:55

themselves.

01:38:56 --> 01:39:01

Put them on suicide watch. So if you contact us with this, we can

01:39:01 --> 01:39:04

do it for you. If you don't want to contact nine one we'll call 911

01:39:04 --> 01:39:04

for you.

01:39:08 --> 01:39:12

Most of them's like my unit Dina Chishti introduced free food

01:39:13 --> 01:39:18

and lodging to the concept of South Asia as a means of Tao

01:39:21 --> 01:39:22

J Perez says

01:39:24 --> 01:39:27

when you come home it should be met you should meet your families

01:39:27 --> 01:39:30

immediately and not neglect them to go to work right away.

01:39:32 --> 01:39:32

Okay

01:39:38 --> 01:39:43

what does it Why do Does anyone ever say that the sad say the

01:39:43 --> 01:39:47

Quran we are claimed that the machetes and metodi say Quran is

01:39:47 --> 01:39:51

created we say no the Arabic language is created. Okay? And

01:39:51 --> 01:39:54

those word of Allah is the word His Word with himself with no

01:39:54 --> 01:39:59

sounds, letters, languages, or beginning or end

01:40:00 --> 01:40:04

and it is pre eternal with him, that is Al Kalam and Neff see his

01:40:04 --> 01:40:08

speech within himself before it was ever put on the low al muffles

01:40:09 --> 01:40:13

before the Arabic language was ever created, and then is also his

01:40:13 --> 01:40:17

speech and it is the Quran and is the word of Allah. Okay, when that

01:40:17 --> 01:40:21

kind of Neff see is in a way that can be recited in the Arabic

01:40:21 --> 01:40:25

language or the Hebrew language if it was the Torah, or the I think

01:40:25 --> 01:40:28

they say Syriac if it was the Bible and all the other languages

01:40:28 --> 01:40:31

of revelation that is Allah's Kalam love the

01:40:32 --> 01:40:36

and what is between the bonds of the Quran is Allah's word.

01:40:37 --> 01:40:41

While I say I hadn't fee asleep Turkey, he gasp and no human being

01:40:41 --> 01:40:43

has anything to do with the Quran.

01:40:44 --> 01:40:49

The construction of Allah's words, alright or the putting together

01:40:49 --> 01:40:53

Allah's words, but it is Kalam. It is his speech within himself

01:40:53 --> 01:40:56

before the creation of the Arabic language and before the creation

01:40:56 --> 01:40:58

of the pen and before the creation of the low.

01:40:59 --> 01:41:05

And then when it is that Kalam is in a mode that can be recited in a

01:41:05 --> 01:41:09

created language, we call that Al Kalam will love the the uttered

01:41:09 --> 01:41:10

speech of Allah.

01:41:13 --> 01:41:17

It's very clear, right, Omar? Yeah. If you say nothing instead

01:41:17 --> 01:41:21

because love is like, color monogamy. It's like, I don't know

01:41:21 --> 01:41:23

if they say that exactly. But like when they refer to the brands like

01:41:23 --> 01:41:27

composition composed. They prefer because like, love is like

01:41:27 --> 01:41:30

something that's coming out. Yeah. You mean maturity? Or maturity?

01:41:30 --> 01:41:34

Yeah. No, not me. Because it was written in the law had my foot

01:41:34 --> 01:41:39

right? Yes. Mason Haix. Own a minivan by burgers from circus

01:41:39 --> 01:41:42

restaurant. Deliver them to people. Thank you, Mason Haix.

01:41:42 --> 01:41:45

Where are you from? Because you figured it out. Go to your

01:41:45 --> 01:41:47

friend's next time you're hanging out with your buddies. Say

01:41:47 --> 01:41:49

everyone pitching five bucks. Right? Then guess what's gonna

01:41:49 --> 01:41:51

happen after a few weeks?

01:41:52 --> 01:41:55

Why don't we just start a nonprofit? Why? Because you guys

01:41:55 --> 01:41:59

are pitching five bucks. At least you get a tax exemption from that.

01:41:59 --> 01:41:59

Right?

01:42:00 --> 01:42:04

Okay. And then, but you got to prove yourself first. Right? Prove

01:42:04 --> 01:42:08

yourself first do it consistently for quite a while. Every Friday

01:42:08 --> 01:42:11

I'm doing this from this hour to this hour. Okay, what happens?

01:42:17 --> 01:42:18

Why does some scholars

01:42:20 --> 01:42:21

not allow digital piracy?

01:42:23 --> 01:42:25

It is an understanding today that

01:42:27 --> 01:42:31

there is harm if we pirate the works of scholars and just take

01:42:31 --> 01:42:34

the PDF and not buy the book. Because it's it's a harm right

01:42:34 --> 01:42:34

now.

01:42:39 --> 01:42:43

Melody 21 says if a per if if you get lack of response from a person

01:42:43 --> 01:42:48

or a teacher, does that mean that they're not for you? Well, if you

01:42:48 --> 01:42:50

are persistent, and they persistently don't answer you

01:42:50 --> 01:42:54

ever, and they're not benefiting you at all, then you can't take

01:42:54 --> 01:42:58

them as a teacher because the they're not talking to you. But

01:42:58 --> 01:43:03

they don't respond to you once or twice. No. You need to also be

01:43:03 --> 01:43:03

persistent.

01:43:05 --> 01:43:09

And there are teachers who ignore the first knock on the door. They

01:43:09 --> 01:43:12

just ignore it. Because they want persistent they want you to have

01:43:12 --> 01:43:14

strength, right?

01:43:17 --> 01:43:20

How long would it be until you notice benefits of sin addiction?

01:43:20 --> 01:43:22

abstention immediately.

01:43:23 --> 01:43:26

Okay, you will notice the benefits when you are not committing some

01:43:26 --> 01:43:30

kind of sin you should feel on your conscience at least that you

01:43:30 --> 01:43:31

are no longer displeasing Allah.

01:43:35 --> 01:43:38

All right, what if you have a low tolerance to sins, but I end up

01:43:38 --> 01:43:42

hating sinners for committing sins. Now we shouldn't hate the

01:43:42 --> 01:43:45

people who fall into things we should hate the people who are

01:43:45 --> 01:43:50

happy and love those things.

01:43:51 --> 01:43:56

That is the person who is an enemy to goodness. Someone who loves

01:43:56 --> 01:44:01

these things. What do you what was the difference? A guy who was in

01:44:01 --> 01:44:06

need of money. He goes into a little 711 puts his gun in the air

01:44:06 --> 01:44:11

says empty the register takes 250 bucks and leaves then gets caught.

01:44:12 --> 01:44:15

Two guys do this one guy gets caught puts his head down and says

01:44:15 --> 01:44:19

I screwed up. I did something bad. I'm sorry. Other guys laugh and

01:44:19 --> 01:44:23

I'm happy I would do it again. Right? Is there a difference? Of

01:44:23 --> 01:44:25

course, difference big difference

01:44:31 --> 01:44:35

you do a one on one podcast for people that want to learn. Yeah,

01:44:35 --> 01:44:39

we can try to do it too. So one on one podcast and Shawn What about

01:44:39 --> 01:44:44

doing the soup kitchen only in the wintertime? I know I disagree with

01:44:44 --> 01:44:47

that because you lose your momentum. It's got to be every

01:44:47 --> 01:44:48

week.

01:44:49 --> 01:44:52

Can you turn on automatic captions? I don't know how to do

01:44:52 --> 01:44:53

that. Maybe Oh my nose.

01:44:54 --> 01:44:56

Inaccurate I think I've done Wait.

01:44:58 --> 01:44:59

Can you suggest a path for non

01:45:00 --> 01:45:04

Arabs to learn Arabic Yes, very easily ArcView dot o RG right? We

01:45:04 --> 01:45:06

are now this this.

01:45:07 --> 01:45:13

This week, we will be opening up registration. Or at least Monday,

01:45:13 --> 01:45:15

probably my unknown Monday Tuesday, we opening up

01:45:15 --> 01:45:17

registration for the new Arabic track

01:45:28 --> 01:45:33

when you come and visit LA Cosina you're seeing us in our, like,

01:45:34 --> 01:45:38

eighth year of work, right?

01:45:39 --> 01:45:40

Eight years.

01:45:42 --> 01:45:45

So it's not everyone's not going to start like this.

01:45:46 --> 01:45:51

And that's the thing, if you have the stomach and you have the

01:45:51 --> 01:45:59

ability to tolerate the, the the simplicity of something, the glory

01:45:59 --> 01:46:05

free nature of a task, you'll succeed. But if someone you know

01:46:05 --> 01:46:09

only wants to see the end result and wants that right away, then

01:46:09 --> 01:46:12

don't don't go for that. Alright, and then what's the question for

01:46:12 --> 01:46:16

en en? What is nns question that they said I skipped

01:46:18 --> 01:46:21

Oh no, no, I'm not answering that. I get into that.

01:46:23 --> 01:46:26

Most of us in the subcontinent have a longer

01:46:27 --> 01:46:32

a longer I guess we're not we can call it an ortho but lock kusina

01:46:32 --> 01:46:37

go to LA Cosina 367 dot o RG and pitch in because this week.

01:46:39 --> 01:46:43

Not next. What is it next week? Next Saturday? We're giving school

01:46:43 --> 01:46:44

supplies to the kids.

01:46:46 --> 01:46:46

Okay.

01:46:48 --> 01:46:51

Desi Muslim should support things like law Cosina because their

01:46:51 --> 01:46:54

ancestors came to Islam that way says Tala Brazi Thank you very

01:46:54 --> 01:47:02

much. So you can support it at law Cosina 367 dot O R G. Okay. Can I

01:47:02 --> 01:47:05

apply to work in hair transplantation? Yes, you make

01:47:05 --> 01:47:09

hair transplantation is permitted in some of the hitmen for a bit

01:47:09 --> 01:47:12

and others. Because some schools say that you cannot benefit from

01:47:12 --> 01:47:16

yourself, your body your body is not a source of benefit. In other

01:47:16 --> 01:47:19

words, you can't like be take part of my body put it another part.

01:47:19 --> 01:47:24

However, others have said no, it is because to lose hair. It's IBE

01:47:24 --> 01:47:29

it's a flaw in the body. It's it's something that does not how Allah

01:47:29 --> 01:47:32

created people, Allah created you with the head of hair. So if you

01:47:32 --> 01:47:37

lose it, you are permitted to put it back right? So there is

01:47:37 --> 01:47:39

difference within it because there's a difference of opinion.

01:47:40 --> 01:47:45

You may work there and you may help people. You have a full head

01:47:45 --> 01:47:50

of hair and consider that even charitable work to like it's a

01:47:50 --> 01:47:50

good deed.

01:47:53 --> 01:47:58

The Malkia were against it. The high nebula were for it. Right

01:47:58 --> 01:48:00

probably the chef it would also be permissive of it. I don't know

01:48:00 --> 01:48:03

what the 100 thieves would say but there's 50 left it's a new matter

01:48:03 --> 01:48:03

to

01:48:10 --> 01:48:13

what does it mean that why was he memorable? Clary exiled out of his

01:48:13 --> 01:48:17

city he was exiled because an extremist group there were not

01:48:17 --> 01:48:20

extremists group but on this issue, they were extreme and it

01:48:20 --> 01:48:24

was his own one of his previous teachers. Okay.

01:48:26 --> 01:48:32

Abu Mohammed Al, what is it? His name is always forgotten

01:48:33 --> 01:48:34

Abu Mohammed

01:48:37 --> 01:48:42

something with a val or Allah. But anyway, he would go so extreme to

01:48:42 --> 01:48:45

say the Quran has not created that he would even say that your

01:48:45 --> 01:48:47

recitation of the Quran is not created.

01:48:48 --> 01:48:54

which contradicts the Quran. Allah says Calaca como Mata Malone as

01:48:54 --> 01:48:55

though holy Thank you. Oh my god, I'm got it.

01:48:57 --> 01:48:58

Everyone Mohammed Abdullah Ali,

01:49:00 --> 01:49:03

and inside Makati. Imam Bukhari only mentioned same as Abu

01:49:03 --> 01:49:07

Mohammed. This is an Abraham so that people know that he's not

01:49:07 --> 01:49:11

endorsing his innovation that is an innovation. You're directly

01:49:11 --> 01:49:14

contradicting the Quran when Allah says halacha como met someone when

01:49:14 --> 01:49:18

He created you and what you do. And you now turn around and say

01:49:19 --> 01:49:24

that the your recitation of the Quran is not created. And this is

01:49:24 --> 01:49:25

an example as

01:49:26 --> 01:49:29

called the Ayyad says the littoralis are people who wanted

01:49:29 --> 01:49:33

to preserve the religion, but ended up stepping on other

01:49:33 --> 01:49:36

foundations of the religion in order to protect the religion

01:49:37 --> 01:49:41

called the Ayyad. When he speaks about the the literal lists,

01:49:43 --> 01:49:47

this is what he says about them. He says they sought to protect the

01:49:47 --> 01:49:53

religion from one innovation, but they ended up committing another

01:49:53 --> 01:49:56

innovation or you know, rejecting something else that needed to

01:49:56 --> 01:49:59

reject. That's his analysis of the innovators. The literalist

01:50:00 --> 01:50:01

If we don't we're not literally this

01:50:09 --> 01:50:12

our 40 Day had damn after relative dies from the tradition? Not

01:50:12 --> 01:50:14

necessarily No, it's not necessarily there's nothing from

01:50:14 --> 01:50:19

the Sunnah. There's nothing from fic that to do the 40 day cuts and

01:50:19 --> 01:50:23

yet at the same time, if it's a gathering, and it's the gathering

01:50:23 --> 01:50:28

in itself, there's nothing wrong with it and you do if so up, do

01:50:28 --> 01:50:33

you give to the good deeds to that person? That in itself also what

01:50:33 --> 01:50:38

is an innovation is to say that the 40 is a sadhana whether you

01:50:38 --> 01:50:41

did on the 13th now does somebody did some Willie have some more

01:50:41 --> 01:50:45

cash offer about the 40 days allow them but it still wouldn't be 100

01:50:45 --> 01:50:49

for us, in the sense that we would not say this is a sunnah This is

01:50:49 --> 01:50:54

special day. That stuff we won't say however, the concept of

01:50:54 --> 01:50:57

gathering giving sadaqa and food and reciting the Quran and making

01:50:57 --> 01:51:02

dua and doing a Salah so up to the person is permitted and you get

01:51:02 --> 01:51:06

good deeds for that. It's just the belief about the 40 days has no

01:51:06 --> 01:51:07

foundation

01:51:08 --> 01:51:09

from Quran or Hadith.

01:51:15 --> 01:51:18

Kept Muslim says how to be motivated to continue a better at

01:51:18 --> 01:51:24

home after come back from the Masjid. Sometimes the home and the

01:51:24 --> 01:51:27

masjid there are two different vibes and you should accept that

01:51:27 --> 01:51:30

and be happy with that right masjid, I'm able to do one thing

01:51:30 --> 01:51:33

because the environment suits me at home, the environment doesn't

01:51:33 --> 01:51:36

suit you the same way the masjid everyone's supporting you in the

01:51:36 --> 01:51:40

masjid. To do a bed the environment supports you. So don't

01:51:40 --> 01:51:44

try to go against the grain. If you want to do a budget in the

01:51:44 --> 01:51:47

message in your home, create a little mosque in your home create

01:51:47 --> 01:51:50

a room that nothing happens in this home except Salah and

01:51:50 --> 01:51:53

recitation of Quran but all the Messiah if there and anytime you

01:51:53 --> 01:51:57

want to pray go there if your big house is big enough, but don't

01:51:57 --> 01:52:01

also overdo yourself and make yourself fail.

01:52:02 --> 01:52:03

Go

01:52:04 --> 01:52:08

because you're trying to do something in environment that

01:52:08 --> 01:52:08

doesn't work.

01:52:10 --> 01:52:13

Especially a big home with a lot of people it's not the environment

01:52:14 --> 01:52:15

for serious action.

01:52:16 --> 01:52:18

Right so environment is really important.

01:52:23 --> 01:52:25

Who is mm hmm tough does anyone have the biggest

01:52:26 --> 01:52:28

theology theologians mill

01:52:31 --> 01:52:32

ladies and gentlemen.

01:52:34 --> 01:52:35

Unfortunately,

01:52:36 --> 01:52:40

we have to end it right here. Does that come located on everybody?

01:52:41 --> 01:52:44

Subhanak Allah Who Moby Dick no shadow

01:52:46 --> 01:52:52

Illa illa Anta nests of Pharaoh corner to earache while asked in

01:52:52 --> 01:52:56

Santa Fe Of course. Ill Alladhina amanu Amira Saudi

01:52:57 --> 01:53:02

what a while so Bill, Huck. What a while sober sober. We'll see you

01:53:02 --> 01:53:06

next Monday but in the late Allah was salam aleikum wa rahmatullah?

01:53:34 --> 01:53:34

us

01:53:42 --> 01:53:42

know

01:53:45 --> 01:53:45

who

01:53:50 --> 01:53:50

God
