We're live. And then it's gonna be mixed methods. Like the easiest
opinion is my method, because that's what ends up. You know,
that's what that's what falls to the bottom, right? The easiest
stuff falls to the bottom. But when the duty of a community or
Imams is to say, No, we have to elevate, right, you have to
elevate to what's correct, not descend to what's easy. And
unfortunately, a lot of times people find themselves they have
to descend to the masses. So you got to talk to them, right? And
then you start to assume well, if that's how everything is, and
maybe that's really what the truth is, right? And maybe that's what
Allah has accepted. No, that's not how it is. Right? So it's all
about elevating. And we're live now. Right, Omar? Alrighty.
Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim, Al hamdu lillah wa Salatu was Salam
ala Rasulillah. While early he was so happy woman Well, welcome
everybody to the number facts to the Safina side another facts live
stream on a very important day. It is a firstly a very sunny, very
warm, September Monday, and it's September 5, Tuesday, actually,
because we had labor day off. I don't know if England, they have
Labor Day, but England has random bank holidays. But Labor Day,
which I was thinking, you know, for the new generation, that Gen Z
should basically be canceled. And then somebody said, No, there's no
point in canceling it because they're mostly unemployed anyway.
Right? Because they're not, they're not hard workers, this Gen
Z you you worry about them. Gen Z, when you deal with Gen Z, they're
going to basically tell you, Hey, can you if you say for example,
Hey, would you would you mind emailing Seth, all the files?
Okay, let's set up a an appoint Who should I see see on the OCC,
John? Okay, let's set up a WhatsApp group. And then we need
to schedule it. I need to meditate five minutes before and after.
Right so that I can be focused. And then afterwards, we need a
coffee break. I mean, they cannot just do something. What's going on
with Gen Z? I've said it before they need a war. Unfortunately, no
offense. And I hope you don't it doesn't really happen. But I'm
telling you what you need. They need a war. Okay? They need
something where hardship the measure of hardship goes back to
balance. So you don't want people to suffer. But sometimes you
realize this is the best thing for you. Because your balance of
what's difficult and what's easy. It's off. It's completely off.
That's what it is. And these weak men are going to create very
strong, tough times there. They're not even weak men create. What is
it? Weak men create bad times? What happens when the men don't
want to be men? They want to wear pants that's painted on they want
to wear become basically NF they want to be females. And everyone's
now following the cake pop some kpop group. They all wear pink.
They got blonde hair. They dye their hair blonde, they work.
And these are the new guys.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The clothing? No, no, that's not even clothing. It's not even
close. You might as well just wear tights. And that's it.
We have an announcement today for everybody here who is an ArcView
student, ArcView attendee and ArcView. Member. We're, we're
slowly taken we've taken the big step towards developing our
program into an academy.
Okay, a formalized Academy many of you, how many years have you been
in this past summer this past summer, okay, Mashallah. Some of
you have been there from the olden days, in which ArcView was
basically one courts, one class, essentially that was given. And
then that class, we divided up into a section for the beginner
and a section for the intermediate, the person who has
more ambition, and wants to study but more. Now, you may say to
yourself, I never really have time to study, I don't, I don't have
the ability to do it. But anything that you want to do if you only
give it like 15 to 20 minutes, once or twice a week.
Well, after a year, you'll be somebody different. If you just
take one, but organized. Like this is the book, this is the course
they're doing an hour a week, I can only do let's say 30 minutes,
even a week, or even better yet 10 minutes a day. That's it, no more,
no less, right. And sometimes you know what I always like to do, I
like to package anything that I have to do with something that I
really want to preserve or be grateful for.
And so for example,
let's say that something really important happened. That could
have been bad, it turned out to be good. Now we need to be grateful
for them.
And so I'm going to be my grad
Today is to study for this 15 minutes a day. My shocker, for
this matter, is to do hips for 10 minutes a day. And you may think
it's such a small amount that you're not gonna get anywhere, but
you will. It's not just that you will, you're gonna start believing
that's you. Because the more you go somewhere, right? Even if you
only spend 10 minutes there, but you got up and you went there, you
got up and you open the book.
Right? But you do that to 300 times a year, you will hold
yourself and believe you are taught to bed.
Because you've done it so many times. Right? In contrast, a
person may spend a year in Syria, or a year in a school, come back
and never revise Never Have you never do anything.
They in their head, they're taught it been because they spent here
but in the reality they're not.
There, they're off. So that's why I believe that people should,
they should realize that it's a lot easier than you imagine it to
be when you want to study it is a lot easier than you imagine. It's
simply the issue of
repeatedly going back to the process, and being systematic,
right? So once you keep doing that you will believe yourself to be
that once you believe yourself, then you have to go now, right?
Like
sometimes I hate to say this, but sometimes you see an imam in a
mosque. And the Dean has gotten so normal to him, that you don't
actually feel the topo right. But he never does anything wrong. And
he never misses it. But you never feel the tequila. Like you don't
feel it oozing out of him. But when you look at his life, he's
got to he's does everything right and never does anything wrong. Why
is he believes he is mm now he can't do those things. Even if he
wants to? He can't. Right so his mind may be on low and dunya all
day but he'll pray five times in the masjid.
Right it's because he has believed it's like it's on its own now it's
taking care of him rather than him building it up. Now I have to give
a shout out first of all, we have some
some guests here we have a wonderful brother from the state
of Chicago
from Naperville Chicago with his family and a young man What's your
name young man?
McHale. MashAllah beautiful name. And then we have two brothers from
Dallas again, Dallas is in the house. So we had
quite a number of Dallas guests and Michelle other these upbraid
young Shabaab coming out of Dallas, right? No, they I love
this. Firstly, when they come from Dallas, I know he's gonna come in
and hope something good is happening in Dallas. Right?
Something good.
coming in. And so now listen to this. I have the brother who made
this house who built what you see the doors, the stucco all that
had her summer Summit, and their grandparents from Cameroon to
Canada, Bibi and Omar, they watch the podcast regularly. And see the
other day. So sad. Sorry, sad, sad and hedger.
And my my friend, he's the contractor built this place, right
built the face the door everything. He comes into the
room, and he hears his daughter talking. And he said who are you
talking about? And she goes on. She's like, Oh, someone we watch
on YouTube. There's a program we watch on YouTube all the time. I
said, Well, what is it called? She said it's nothing but facts. He's
like, a built that building. And she's like, Oh, come on. And he's
like, I know him. Right? And she wouldn't believe him. She refused
to believe that. I find himself Hey, he says, Hey, could you call
me on the phone right now? Like, what's going on? How could there
be an emergency? I called him up. Right to give the Qatari evidence.
Right. Right. Right. So it was a party at the boot. Right. And it
was and so we gave him the cutsy evidence and they wanted a shout
out so there's a shout out to our man our fields family, his kids
his grin in laws, which would be their grandparents so mashallah
great brother and a great family. And there's so many families out
there that really rely on the online scene. You can't
underestimate that. Right? Dallas, it's a luxury be in Dallas, right?
New Jersey, but smaller bit tighter. Right? But it's a luxury
to be insensitive. Even people say Chicago but not all the parts of
Chicago like you're from part of Chicago that may not have I don't
know is a very populated with Muslims.
Mashallah, that's good. That's good. So, today is an important
day for another reason is that we are announcing that ArcView is
taking another step towards being an official account.
Atomy Okay, and an official Academy being that we're going to
start giving exams and giving certifications. Like, what, how
can we certify somebody, we could say, teacher so and so has taught
so and so for three years online.
And they've taken his exams. It's like a type of ijazah. Right? It's
a testimony. It's a shahada, right? It's the Shahada. And a
Shahad the real meaning is not a degree, the real meaning is a
witness or testimony. Right? And the smaller the group, the
stronger the Shahad. Right? So Rutgers University, you pass
exams, you pass these huge 200 people in the class, or sometimes
50 people in the class. But when you have smaller groups, right?
And over the years, you know the person, you're what's happening
with the person, they message the group, we message them back, we
not only do the teacher know who they are, the other students know
who they are. And why is that important? What happens later on?
If you go somewhere, and you become let's say, you start
teaching Holika in a masjid. And then someone comes in who is this
person? Right? You need to have many people say, Oh, we know him.
He's not and so it's Oh, no, he's a fraud. He never studied. No, he
did. With who? Which? Excellent. So?
Well, I asked, excellent. So he does remember, of course, you have
to remember everybody, but he's gonna have classmates. That's
important that classmates, right? Classmates is extremely important.
Because as you grow older, right? They become a type of shahada for
you. Because as you go, let's say you're 40 your classmates are 20.
They know you for 20 years. Right? Now, he's the real deal is we're
known for 20 years. Right? When you don't see him for 20 years.
It takes a lot to ruin that.
Like, you know, someone for 20 years. No scandals, no, you know,
really bad things happening. That's it. What do you want more
from Mr. Karma is to karma. The absence of misguidance for 20
years. That's pretty good. For us, of course, previous eras, people
lived decades. I mean, centuries, they lived many, many years. 20
years is nothing. But if you look at someone 20 years of history,
karma is is a pretty decent achievement. We repeated another
20 years, Mashallah. And the saddest of all, is people who may
leave off their
they leave off their their Sabha and may go astray in their old
age, through politics, through other things. Mainly, it's
politics, right.
Hey, Omar, check your email and stick on those ArcView
did you get I sent it to info at Sofia no Safina site at Gmail at
Gmail.
sitter, check it out stuffiness out [email protected] That one Yeah,
I sent it there. So we have re rebooted. Okay, we've rebooted and
go up to there's more. On the first email. We've rebooted
everything. ArcView now is divided into bundles.
The first bundle is really the pinnacle that we're trying to get
to which is the plus.
And it's a scholarship track. And we have now for example, metal EEG
being taught. Alright, let's see if I have it on my phone.
Yeah, start putting them all up.
This is a great method. Ashley alQaeda.
Taught by Samsung. Timmy is out of England. Jet
methanol eg it's really called Milwaukee as a long title and
Malekith but it's known as method EEG for example, that is going to
be something on 200 level.
Athlete of course, we teaching Joe how to sit so heat, which it was
ama so here, that's a 300 level course on Plus, we're now having
maisonnette Xia for medically fit. Many of you have taken Metacafe.
I've seen your name in the chats in the Zoom meeting for years. Now
your time for you to take medicine Elysium when somebody takes a
course and they feel shaky, what do I do? Is it the course bad? Am
I not good at studying? No. At this age when we're all adults,
and we're learning for our own benefit. Neither the teacher nor
the student is at fault. It's time you maybe have too many things on
your mind. Maybe God
just just it's new material. So what do I do? Take the course
again? Oh, I'm gonna No 50% No, no, you 2% will not be new. That's
true.
From knowing something, there's a big difference between knowing
something, and it not being new. Oh, you know, 50%? Okay, good. So
I'll teach the first half of the class you teach the second half,
you know, 50%, right? No, no, I don't know it like that, okay,
then you don't know it, right? Knowing it means here's the,
here's the text, okay? Teach it. And then
all you have to do is look at the heading of the text. That's what
the shooter do when they're, when they really know it. All he does
just look at the heading of the text, what chapter will, that's
it, and then he could speak for 30 minutes, and maybe you'll look at
a footnote or one matter. That's it, that's snowing. So take it a
second time, take the class, again, I'm telling you, this is
the best way to learn Sobor you need so here's why mama Shafi said
from the conditions of have to reach to become item, you have
conditions, one of them is a long life.
Because this thing does take time. And if someone's rushing,
it's not gonna work out. By the way, we have a guest today. So as
soon as I finish telling you about ArcView, we're gonna have a guest.
And then at the end, after we have our interview, with a young
convert, we're going to be going over again, what are a few so the
first one is ArcView. Plus, then we took out of everything Arabic.
So Arabic is all on its own. And it's going to be headed by someone
very passionate about this, which is
shaking my head D Lock he's very passionate about, then he's gonna
break it up into three courses.
Good, beginner, advanced and intermediate. The intermediate,
the advanced now is what you would start taking after you finished
all of tougher to Cynthia, and you go back so. So then, for example,
maybe Katrina, maybe something like that. All right. The books
beyond that.
So we would say like 200 level books.
Likewise, for all for the mother, who were there, Chef a FIP is now
going into
15 Min, *? First. I'm not a chef, so I don't know other books.
Then there's another book that they're going to be covering check
with sama sloth. He is going to teach them. So that's our plus
then Arabic. And then is the important one, the kids. Wherever
they are kids programs. There's a future for Islam. Right? Anywhere
there are kids, there's a future you won't believe. I go and the
weather is so beautiful out.
It's fall, you start feeling the fall, you start doing autumn
things. So what is the first autumn thing you do in New Jersey?
As a parent, you sign your kid up for soccer. Right? Every Saturday
morning, you go out there the grass is out there and kids play
soccer for an hour. And you you know, go out with your kids,
right? So I call my friends I text my friends. Hey, you all sign up
for soccer. I'm like I stopped by myself right? Go there. I need you
to go to the with me on the sideline. Right. So they said oh,
you won't believe it.
No more soccer leak. Hey, Omar. Do the full screen. Do it all at
half. Yeah, fill fill the screen with the or the half of the screen
with it. Oops.
All right.
They texted me back. They say y'all You won't believe this. The
league put out an email not enough interest.
No soccer league this year. How do you have
a psychodrama to sell of American culture? Right? How do you not
have a soccer you know why? Because there's so much Zina.
Kids don't have parents. This is a family thing, right? So you have
so much Zina. And you start to see the effects of it now. Two years.
Last two years, there's like four teams than two teams. And now. No
teams at all. Right? So no soccer. So kids, the presence or absence
of kids tells you everything. If there's a lot of kids, you have a
future. And that's why masajid should cater masajid in America
are community centers. They're not just places of Salah. So they
really need to have a lot of this stuff. So we have our few kids now
what is the value? What is what are we bringing to the table with
ArcView kids? It's
many people they struggle to find a hipster online. They don't know
how to do it. Call their auntie. Right? Can you get us hips
teacher? They don't know how to do it. We did it for they don't know
how to pay them either. Right? International fees and all. We did
it all for you. Right so ArcView kids is now something that it has
hips. It has fic and it has Sierra and if you don't know how to do
hips, there's no record. Okay. What do you think is called the
Noorani pada.
Though that was my first What do you think
it's his name?
It's his name. It's the sixth name, right? And I'm like, here I
am thinking, right? It's noodle law coming into the, through the
recitation. Now it's his name. And interestingly, that this man
eventually
married, somehow ended up the lineage ended up from Pakistan to
Egypt.
And that shit that grandson is now in his 90s.
Or sorry, sorry, sorry. 70s 70s And he's now taken like a
retirement type of position. A slower position, but at one of the
local mosque, Masjid here, right? So we're gonna have to go meet him
when he comes in Sharla because his grandfather is you know, a
legend in the OMA. There's no doubt about that. Right? No doubt
about that. He's a legend
in the OMA so many people think that he's from the era of like a
silty are from no he's not * honey. Cada was written only a few
decades ago, right, maybe maximum one century or so. So that's the
kids and then we have the basic, which is focusing mainly on
the beginners, beginner is very important, because they're the
beginner is not just somebody that you need to educate. It's someone
you need to stoke the interest. Like, if someone gives if a shake,
I'm sitting with $2 loan graduates. If a chef comes and
he's going to be teaching a medicine,
you go, right, you respect the, that he's there, and you you
attend to the whole thing, right? You're listening to motivate you,
like, you know, but maybe 10 years ago, when you weren't students of
Adam, then he needs a little bit of motivation to so that's where
the basic course is important because it does require a little
bit of motivation and at the same time Taleem and that's why it's
its own track. So you can go to all these and start signing up at
ARC view dot O R G is really important. Okay, arc view at o r g
a sorry dot ArcView dot O R G and in sha Allah Allah you can you can
all start taking the the pre recorded classes because how is it
there are on demand
courses and there are
live courses that's how it's divided up. Okay? So it's not just
by the term and the reason is that by the term means you got to
register every term three times a year there's a small summer term,
winter term, Autumn term, but fall term and spring term well why why
why hassle people so we divided up across the whole year and then you
have either live classes or you have plenty of of courses that
were from the past that you could study right? And so that's how
ArcView is divvied up and we're gonna put you see there are a few
kids on the screen and inshallah Tata will go over that
a couple more times throughout the live stream. But until then we
have a very very interesting guest
you will have to go
we you know we need here we need an actual hosting committee a
hosting committee make sure say you know host to make sure that
you know we are on time with our or hosts guests just to be like
respectable folks come like to love it and when they come or not
to love them but Shabaab when they come it's no problem but when we
have like, family coming we got to treat treat them baraka does that
come Lachlan, thank you all very much. Thanks for coming.
Yeah, we need a we do it right by our people.
To love him come in and all that be treated right.
barnacle if he could just go off Hara Thank you. All right, ladies
and gentlemen, our guests. We have different types of guests. And one
of the things that we categories of guests that we'd like to bring
on the program
are the Shabaab especially those who love the deen and who are into
the deen? Because that's what that's the energy that Allah
brings the youth energy. Okay, we brought in a half as of Quran, who
won the competition in Minnesota shot to be
competition. And now we bring Yan risk kowski Did I say it right?
Like was salam rahmatullah wa barakato
most people most people tell me they talked to me and they said
sorry for if I didn't get your name right now it's flips now. So
is it Yan first of all? Yeah, it's yes young and then it's rich.
kowski rich kowski mashallah, let's talk first thing about your
background.
Where are you streaming from right now at this moment? Right now?
South Yorkshire, England. In England, okay, but are you
British? Essentially, in your upbringing?
I was raised by Polish parents, but I've lived in Britain all my
life. Okay. So effectively in terms of culture, you're British?
Yeah, basically by culture. Okay, good, good. Because the way that
you got on our radar here is that somebody say, Hey, listen, check
out this young man, he's got a nice video about meditation. So I
looked at it, it actually put a smile on my face a couple times,
he made a couple jokes that were pretty good.
And it got me thinking, well, we need to talk about meditation,
because it is something that's out there in the world. And it we
have, it's out there in the world, because people find a benefit.
People find a benefit does not mean that all of its beneficial.
Isn't it may not all be beneficial, right?
And there may be something that we will accept and will not accept,
right? So anything that's out there in the world, it's because
people find it useful. If people find it useful. Now we'll assess
it and put it in the scale of the Sharia. Right. And Allah Tata has
a final word. We're lucky that we believe in transmission, not just
experimentation, and the truth has been transmitted to us. So we have
a referee. So that's gonna be my first question. What exactly got
you interested in meditation? And and were you into this before
entering Islam or after?
I would say,
I unofficially became Muslim before I started meditating. But I
wasn't fully practicing. And I didn't know anything. I didn't
know there was any correlations or that it was forbidden. But
basically, I just, I found on YouTube that meditation is good
for you about two years ago. So I started meditating almost every
day. And I found a lot of benefit from it. And then recently, when I
started to become more practicing, and I started to learn more, I
kind of realized that
some Muslims are cool with meditation and others
find it. Haram. So I was confused about it. So I decided to research
it. And then I made my video, which doesn't really come to any
conclusion, because I'm still confused about whether I should or
I shouldn't meditate. All right, well, why don't we discuss this?
The first thing when we have to talk about something is regarding
to find the word
and terminology that's made up as opposed to terminology from the
Quran, for example, terminology of the Quran is fixed. Its meaning is
what it meant to the, to the Prophet and the companions. Right?
And in the Arabic language, it salatu salam.
But when we make up a term, we have a saying this is lemma
shahada for the Stila, there's no need to argue about terms. Why?
Because we make up the terms, right. So meditation when we talk
about it, then we need to define it. All right.
So is why would you did you come upon a definition that you found
those the like?
Yeah, I feel like the
I don't know if this is like the objective truth. But in my
opinion,
I think that meditation just means focusing on one thing, yeah. And
going back to that one thing when you get distracted, okay, so, so
that's a decent summary. A definition is to put your mind set
your mind on one thing, why it calms your mind, and it makes you
allows you to focus. So now the question really, that button
itself should have nothing wrong with it in this video. The
question becomes,
what is it that a person is focusing on? And how are they
focusing? Okay.
Are they focusing to someone playing the guitar? Is that what
triggers their focus? Well, there's there's going to be
discussion about that because stringed instruments are unlawful
for us as Muslims, right? In the majority, it's not good American
to say it's something that has
HTML, but it is the dominant opinion on all the methods
distributed.
Then we're going to talk about what is the focal focal point of
our meditation? Are we meditating upon our, what do we meditating
upon? Right? So that's one of the problems I see in the world today.
What do you think about that, like, people today, they all talk
about meditating, mindfulness, thankfulness, gratitude, but to
whom is the question.
What do you think about that?
The meditation
Usually I only see people focusing on their breath or focusing on
sounds around them. And then some people focus on like, what's it
called like mantras.
They repeat things to themselves, like affirmations, things like
that.
So that's, that's why I see of meditation and what people
meditate on. I'm aware that
the Prophet, correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm aware that the
Prophet meditated on the greatness of Allah and His attributes, and
that's called Morocco about right. So that's a great way to put it.
There can be a meditation that is at best Khaled. Right? meditation
upon something that is neither forbidden or satanic. Nor is it
zicatela not in remembrance of Allah.
Water type, everyone comes themselves down a different way.
Right? Some people take a walk, some people want to do that. J
mess we could get worse, we could just say it's hella, right. That's
it.
Then meditation upon affirmations, or statements to oneself also, is
the statement good or bad? Right? What is the nature of the
statement? Of course meditation, it goes without saying that
meditation upon a god is that we don't even need to discuss that.
Of course that's forbidden, right? And then finally, the, the
greatest of all meditations is going to be upon or, again
meditation being defined as focusing my attention upon
something upon Allah subhana wa Tada. Now even that has a
discussion. Because we are not allowed to think about the Essence
of Allah subhanaw taala the vet, we are allowed to think about and
encouraged to think about his attributes. Why because the debt
is infinite and we can never understand it. And if you try
to lift an infinite weight, you're going to break your back and
breaking like, You got to become a gift. Right?
Right. But say no baccarat jello, Tirana to think about the
attributes of Allah to think about his promises of Jana, and his
promises of this world, his threats of this world and the next
life. So that's where meditation becomes what you can call more
acaba. Or you could call Vic al Culp the remembrance of the heart.
And I think it's something that all human beings will naturally at
some point do at some level is what separates us from animals.
Right. So how did you work? Who who came about how Did someone
come about telling you is haram?
You said somebody they told you it's haram. Meditation. Yeah. In
what sense? Is it haram? The same sense that I mentioned, said It's
haram. So no one told a person didn't tell me I googled it
myself. And I've found on YouTube that.
Do you know who asked him Al Hakim is this course everyone does? So
he said that meditation is haram because the Hindus and the
Buddhists do. Yeah, so that was where I found out that some people
have that view. Yeah, meditation upon their guts, right. But and
maybe sitting in their manner, because now you're entering the
discouraged fields of imitating an unbeliever, right? Or wearing an
orange sash or put your hands like this, then yeah, you've become
imitating a non believer, right? In a religious matter, is
imitating a non believer in a worldly matter, it'd be less so of
an issue. Right? But imitating an unbeliever on a world limb in a
religious matter, or a spiritual matter, that becomes for us
heavily discouraged and could even be prohibited. But the so that's
why when someone answers, he got to define what the word is right?
Meditation on what and how. Okay, so the meditation and then when
you realize, oh, we have that's called maraca. Then you ask, Well,
why do I need to say meditation? I'll say what up, right? Like many
people, they said they were Muslim socialists. I've heard people say
Muslim feminists, so I said, Okay, well what is Muslim socialists? He
says, he practices the aspects of Islam that focus on the poor.
Well, what else? Is it what are you adding to Islam? was like, no,
no, I'm not adding anything to Islam. Okay, then why don't you
just call it a slump? Why call it a Muslim socialists, right? So
that's what ends up happening and what ends up that Muslims end up
rejecting all these things, they end up rejecting the terminology.
But when you bring the thing that is inherent in Islam, and
acceptable and recommended, right from that external phenomenon,
then you just use that term, right? What aka Vicodin, right?
And the word meditation itself may have that connotation of Hinduism
and Buddhism but in itself, I think everyone at some point has
to clean out their mind and hone it in on one think
those
things, the benefit of focusing upon Allah subhanaw taala is
infinitely greater than just focusing upon anything else of
this world. Right? And really to the point that we say, Man is a
waste of time. If you have Allah, then what's your business focusing
on anything else? Now let me tell you how we would meditate upon the
creation.
Allah subhana wa Tada says, look, let's say, look, in general, Allah
says, look at the creation, but the A, you have to finish those
Iots the verses, he says, Look at the creation, how Allah fashioned
it. Yeah, do not examine the matter how Allah created it. So
it's not I'm thinking about the sky and fifth and the solar
system, I'm thinking about that is a lead to how Allah created to
doesn't end there. Right? That's the difference between when we go
out in nature and someone who doesn't believe goes out in
nature, you go out in nature, and you arrive at an amazing thing.
But you stop there.
Right? We say are amazing. And we know it's maker.
Okay, so what are your thoughts how it's created? All right. Any
other questions on meditation before we move on to your portion?
I think yeah, I think that's basically all I needed to know
about meditation, you cleared up a lot of things. And you just have
this question. So do you believe that if I, if someone was were to
sit in a different way, in a way that the Buddhists and the Hindus
don't do it, and they were to only focus on their breath or the sound
of the wind? Is that not prohibited? No, that would just be
permissible. Okay, let's say it's after a long day, some people want
to unwind by doing that other people want to shoot buckets.
Right? play basketball, right? Other people want to watch soccer.
Everyone relaxes themselves their own in a way. That's different.
And that's just Hallett to sit silently. And observed the grass
and the trees. My what would be wrong with that? Right?
Yeah. All right. Yeah, that's all I needed to know about meditation.
Thank you for the
those insights. You're welcome. Now, we're going to take you now
as our dowel correspondent, out in England. Tell us the scene out
there how you entered Islam. This is your part to talk now. How you
entered Islam? What's the scene out there in the Dawa?
If you're in maybe school, how did that go about family? How to if
you're comfortable talking about that? How did that go about?
Because it could be an inspiration to others out there listening.
Okay, so first, I'll talk about how I found Islam myself. So
around two years ago, I used to use Instagram a lot, right? And on
my Instagram, sometimes I'd get posts from, like, Islamic Dawa
creators, you know,
just post about Islam and religion. And I started to like
them. So I were I was liking them, and I was saving them. And then,
obviously, because I was liking and saving these posts, the
algorithm gave me more, right? So I started to learn more and more
and more about Islam. And then eventually I started to, like
watch Ali Dawa, and Muslim content creators. And I started to realize
that I believe in Islam. So I want to officially converted two years
ago, and by that I mean that I, I believed in Islam. And I started
implementing some Islamic things like I stopped eating pork.
I'm not sure what else I stopped doing. But I stopped doing some
things. And I started doing, like dua, for example.
And it continued like that for about two years. You know,
whenever I had a thought about Islam, I just kind of Google it.
Whenever I had a question, I just check YouTube. And over the course
of two years, I just learn a little bit more about Islam each
week, and each day and each month. And eventually, it was Ramadan of
this year.
And
I was fasting, right. And I started to learn a lot more about
Islam. I started reading the Quran on this app. And I took the
shahada after Eid, and I realized I need to start implementing more
Islam into my life because I wasn't praying. I didn't even know
how to pray. So I got this book actually, from a mosque from last
year.
Perfect prayer. You seen it's called gifts for Muslims.
It's basically got the prayers right. When the prayers are and
it's got a
Uh, diagrams on how to pray. So I use this, learn how to pray.
And since I took the shahada, I've been, you know, researching Islam
heavily. And I started this YouTube channel. And obviously,
through this YouTube channel, I learned a lot about Islam, you
know what I shouldn't be doing correctly?
And yeah, so that's basically how I got from
not being a Muslim to being a Muslim. Now,
before I was a Muslim, I was raised Christian. So I went to a
Christian Primary School, which is like, from
four to 10 years old or something like that. And then I went to a
Christian high school. So Christianity was like, deeply in
my brain, and I believed in God, but I stopped believing in
Christianity. After I was very young, I became an atheist.
Because Christianity didn't really make sense, right?
And then yeah, I found Islam. I realized, yeah, Islam is the
truth.
Okay, what about your friends circle? How did that drive with
your friends circle?
So, my friends have always, because obviously, I've been
labeling myself a Muslim for two years, right? So it's been like,
they knew
that I was Muslim. Like they knew I called myself Muslim. But they
didn't take it seriously. Because obviously, I didn't practice in
March I, I just didn't eat pork. But I did many of the Haram things
that are uncharacteristic of the Muslims. So they didn't take it
seriously. But eventually, I started to
incorporate Islam more into my life. And I started to tell my
friends about things like they would sometimes I would refuse to
come out with them, or sometimes I refuse to do something. And I'd
say, yeah, it's because this is haram, or I prefer to do this
whole thing instead. And actually, the friends I was at the time, the
friends I was with at the time, were Islamophobic, I came to find
out, they asked me
questions, like, they even Googled like, proof exalt Islam doesn't
exist, or, you know, just Islamophobic things. And they,
they asked me questions about that. And I didn't always have
answers, because obviously, I wasn't really knowledgeable. So
they kind of used that kind of stuff against me. And yeah, they
were just being Islamophobic. And at the time, I was lonely. Apart
from them, I had no other friends. So I was kind of stuck with
Islamophobic friends, I'll humbly live caught them off. Usually,
when a person does something, and they get strong at it, something
new, especially a belief.
In the beginning, there's no resistance, because they're like a
little sapling, that would be destroyed.
But are there their will, their desire would be destroyed.
But as they get stronger, one of the best way, the common ways in
which Allah subhanaw taala strengthens a person
is by putting up resistance, right. And that resistance comes
usually once with somebody who, when somebody is strong enough to
handle the resistance, and from somebody who tends to have a type
of ugly character, right? Such that you're not so worried about
disappointing them, right, as opposed to, like someone's like,
their, their, their mother may be the soft side, or they never want
to disappoint their mom. But then let's say there's a grandpa or an
uncle who's rough and you don't really like them in the first
place, but you're stuck with them. And it just keeps hacking away at
you. And you keep hacking back, but you don't know how to hack
back. So every time that person then
attacks you, I'm gonna go research. And you're trying to
shut them down. But in reality, this is a tool by which Allah is
making you study. And actually question whether or not you're
serious, right? And then that's, and then you start getting
stronger and stronger and stronger and stronger, right, until you're
self motivated to just study on your own. And you don't need that
anymore than that person lays off you, or you just go somewhere
else. And there's somewhere else. So maybe you had something like
that happened with you and your friends. Yeah, I actually
completely relate to that, because I had the same exact stuff with my
friends on actually, I went to Poland, and I went to see my
granddad and he found out that Muslim so he started telling me a
bunch of things that he thought were bad about Islam. But the
thing is, at the time, I didn't know what he was talking about
with some of these things. So I didn't know if they were
fabricated by him or someone told him something that isn't true, or
if he's misunderstanding something because I just didn't know about
this. So after I came back
From Poland, I thought, I've got to start researching more about
Islam. So I can actually defend this, you know, so I can actually
defend my religion. And that is what happens. So I'm very, I'm
actually very grateful for the vast amount of people who have,
you know, when against me and my beliefs, because it's strengthened
me a lot. We have some friends. And they have family from places
like Poland, Slovakia,
Russia, they're extremely, like they're very religious. They do
Catholics that are very religious, right. And so that actually, it's
a plus and a minus. The plus side of it is that those kids grew up
in very clean homes, right? Their hearts and minds are clean, like
they don't mess around and have stable families. And they and
those kids come up with an appreciation of a concept of
faith. They may not know what the faith is, but it's a concept of
faith. When they enter Islam, they enter in fun because everything,
it's almost like tightened. What was loose, right, give the
answered question that they didn't that Christian didn't answer.
However, the bad side of it is that when your opponent is just a
non believer, it's one thing, it's easy to brush them off. But when
your opponent is a believer in another faith, it's really hard,
because for them, it's really hard. Now, the ACS, if you have
atheist parents who become Muslim, you've made a bad political
choice. That's it.
But if you're a Christian, or Catholic, or some Protestant or
what have you, and then your kid becomes Muslim, you're thinking to
yourself, that's eternal damnation. So the motivation of a
Christian to save his son is far stronger than the motivation of an
atheist to pull his son back. Right. So you think that you
touched upon anything like that. And as from a Polish background?
I think I definitely have something similar with my grandma.
My grandma who lives in Poland, she's Christian, and she's
actually probably one of the most like, nicest people I know, to be
honest, but she's quite sad about me being a Muslim, because she has
the same thoughts that you just told me about. Like she, she
thinks I'm wrong. And she thinks that she's right. So she thinks
that I'm like, waste wasting potential by becoming a muslim,
because she doesn't know about the good sides of it. But yeah, it's
really only her because
my dad, I think he's atheist, or like agnostic or something. So he
doesn't really protested that much, because he has nothing.
Nothing to save me from because he doesn't really believe in *.
Yeah. My mom's Christian, but like, not very practicing. And I
believe she has the belief that as long as you're a good person, you
got to have
a lot of people take that approach. So that's good. So you
don't actually have much issue inside your home that's really
good for because a lot of converts, they do struggle with
that.
I have. I live with my other grandma, who was my mom's mom. The
other one, the good. One is my dad's mom, right? The one I live
with is Islamophobic. Highly Islamophobic. And my uncle's kind
of Islamophobic. But um,
the thing is, my grandma, who I live with is Islamophobic. But
she's also like,
my entire family views her as crazy. So I don't really like have
to defend anything from her because she will have, you know,
she'll find a different pathway to criticize Islam, even if I explain
every single thing she's doing. She just creates like, illogical
arguments, which don't even need to be argued with, you know. So
when people attacked you by asking questions, or telling you about
things that are in Islam, that you didn't really know the answer to
or didn't know if it was true or false.
Tell me what are some of what were some of the hard questions that
you had to dig and research and maybe even couldn't even tell them
the truth about because their level of disgust on the thing? So
one of them was the topic of slavery.
They somehow stumbled upon the fact that Islam doesn't fully
you know, what's the word doesn't fully prohibit slavery, right?
They found that out. And I didn't know about that at the time. So I
tried to you know, quickly stumble for an answer.
And they were saying like,
You know, Islam so bad? Why are you why are you allowed to have
slaves? That's, that's wrong. And then they also found that they
also said that you're allowed to have * slaves. Apparently. I
still don't know if that's true or not. I'm not fully sure about
that. But yeah, I didn't know how to answer these questions about
slavery at the time. But obviously, I know a lot more about
it.
And I think another one was
another one was music, and just a lot of things like music, video
games, drugs, alcohol, all of these things, finding out that
those things are haram made them think. Okay, so you can't have fun
in Islam is one of the things that they said their law and they
criticize law. Well, all of those things are the sort of the second
and tertiary level ish things. Did they ever discuss the root of what
Islam? Is? That the there was a prophet that is true?
Like, isn't that that would be the the more initial
aspects to be examines.
I mean, they didn't really talk about that a lot. They, they
insulted him
in a very surface level, because obviously, these were immature
people. So coming up with sound logical arguments would not be
commonplace. So you know, they just kind of insulted the Prophet
and they said, I'm gonna punch Allah in the face of stuff.
One of the things they said was, so these are these are not this is
not your dad and your grandpa. This is some fools on the street
in your school.
Yeah, people used to play video games with Oh, okay. Okay. Now
tell me something because I don't we this didn't exist in my day.
You guys could probably pitch in, like all video games or online
these days, right?
Everything is online. Right? And you're always playing. You're
never playing against the computer anymore. You're always playing
against a person, right?
Usually.
Yeah. Okay.
Yeah, and with the voice chats, and all those, and then you just
arrange with your friends to get on at the same time. And that's
how people have a whole circuit of friends that they've never seen in
their you see their face, right. But they're shooting together and
playing games together. Right? So
are you like, are you tight with people like that? And that in the
game world?
No, I only really played games with people I knew in real life,
because I always knew that. An online friendship doesn't last
long. Yeah, it's not as strong as a real life friendship. So what is
the Dallas scene? Like? Are you do you find yourself now with a
cohort of other people who became Muslim at the same time that
you're like a crew? Or are you like all by yourself? Because the
crew is really important. So yeah, unfortunately, I don't have many.
I don't have any Muslim friends right now. I do have one.
I say he's an acquaintance because I like him, but we don't speak
much. But he's the person who took me to the masjid for the first
time. Zach. But yeah, apart from him, I really don't have anyone
else here. And I think that might be partly because I come from a
Christian school. So the most there's not many Muslims. And the
Muslims that are there are probably not very practicing.
Because, you know, they have parents who took them to a
Christian school.
Yeah, well, what about the local Masjid?
Are you there?
Yeah, the local Masjid.
There is youth, but I don't I honestly I don't really go up to
them and speak to them. Because usually I I go to the masjid I
pray. I listen to the band and I go back home. Because I don't
really have the confidence to speak to new people.
There's so there. Are you into any sports at all? Because that's
probably a great way to meet.
Oh, yeah, I used to do martial arts a lot. And I go to the gym,
but I don't really do like, you know, football, basketball, that
kind of stuff. Yeah. So, so there's your town is what York?
You said?
South Yorkshire is the is the general province. They live up.
South Yorkshire so. So it seems that the South Yorkshire Muslim
youth
scene, they got up their game. Right. Like they don't even get
together for anything. No, they probably do, but I'm just not part
of it. Yeah.
So because in California, a lot of friends who became Muslim such as
Othman Eames the month should when these guys
It became also an on San mccannon Rahim Allah.
It just happened that a whole bunch of friends became Muslim.
And a bunch of guys became Muslim and latched on. And suddenly you
had the huge convert population, huge by meaning like 10 to 15.
Well, back in the
late 90s, that was unheard of anywhere else. And what happened
was that a group of guys in San Diego became Muslim. A group of
guys in the Bay Area became Muslim. And Sheikh Hamza was the
linchpin.
They all went to study with him because that was what made sense,
right? Someone who was also a convert, right? That's what made
sense. Right? So
they then
were around him when they rolled as 45678 Guys, anyone who was
slightly interested in Islam. Now, there's a cool group of guys here.
And it just snowballed. Right? And it became huge, massive, right? So
that's what I was wondering if if that's happening where you are in,
in North England. I would honestly, I would love for that to
happen, but not yet. But inshallah
soon, more reboots. So how far is South Yorkshire from Cambridge,
for example?
Actually
Manchester
Well, while he's looking at up Kenneth Kenneth Leachman has the
same situation does not know many Muslims near where you are. Where
do you live, Kenneth? And then we have a fellow European here,
Maliki click? Right.
Yeah. Oh, I love Maliki click. Oh, my is watching. Yeah, he's
watching my goodness. I love your videos, bro. I was just watching
your truck video. You hear them really quick.
I love this guy. I really wanted to speak to him. So hook up with
Maliki click get in touch with him and he'll talk to you and he'll
hang out with you. Yeah, I've been watching him for months. He was
one of the people who strengthened my faith and mashallah
through the three Muslims who I also kind of want to speak to them
to Who are they? Three? It's a podcast, who weren't? Yeah.
Just regular brothers talking.
So you see, this is useful, right? Connecting people to each other.
Mashallah.
Yeah, Maliki clicks it specifically, you know, broski.
Okay, you want to talk fellow Europeans together?
I'll figure out what some will call it.
Maybe Cambridge is near you, and you're an intellectual guy, and
you would like to see Abdul Hakim Murad, and hang out with them. I
live about two and a half hours away from Cambridge by car. Whoa.
Yeah, that's quite far. That's quite far. And okay, you know,
what else may be next to you?
There's Manchester. There's what's that other? Bradford? Bradford
there are there are N There's a center that has the most probably
convert friendly that we know of. Right. What is it called? Most of
them outs. It's Greenville trust most of them out, look up most of
them out.
If they have events, most of them out would be m usta F A. And the
second word, I found it so I'll have a yeah, I'll write that down
somewhere. Yeah. Oh, I love most of them out. And the people there
who
Sheikh Ibrahim OCF is in charge of that, although he lives in
Liverpool, but he comes down, they have other events. They have a
huge campus, they have a beautiful coffee shop, right? Because they
purchased a college essentially. And it's a gorgeous college. And
they have events there. And let me tell you something,
you got to go this month, when they have these these celebrations
of the prophets birthday.
They have a celebration of the prophets birth lesson a few days,
that's in a few days, you go to most of them out, check their
website, see when they're having their event.
And you're gonna love the event.
Like a little what kind of event is this? They they have talks,
they sing praises of the Prophet peace be upon him, and they
probably have some dinner afterwards.
And at that place, most of them out has a convert meant like
friendly approach to it, as opposed to many other masajid in
England that were established by certain culture. So they tend to
lean towards that culture. So maybe subcontinent
in West London Algerian other massage
Did Somalian have the massage of Bengali? Right? And so but this
truly like they're more of a open, you know, center, but they're also
founded in knowledge. And their theme that goes through them in
their everything they do is the love of the Prophet peace be upon
him because that's the greatest motivator, right? It's the
greatest motivator of the companions, right? And some say,
Well, it's the Quran, of course it's the Quran. But how many of
the Sahaba memorize the Quran? Right? How can you imitate the
Quran, right, the Quran doesn't walk, eat, go and fight. Now the
Prophet fight ALLAH SubhanA, which Allah said, we sent you a book and
a light. So the book is the guide that we recite, and we honor more
than anything else. And the light is whom we follow in our day to
day life. So when you go to most of them out, what you're going to
see there, the emphasis that take note of, is there, the centrality
of the Prophet in their day to day life, and imitating him being like
him in love of the Prophet, and how the Salah and salaam on the
prophet is literally a medicine. It's a medicine, right? It's a
medicine, we have spiritual medicine, we, we need to spread
this to people because they don't have the medicines that we have.
They have a soul and a body, and they don't know where to take it
when it breaks down. And they're just reaching for stuff.
Yet, they don't have any soul food, they have any food for their
soul. I'm walking around in these days, and I'm just seeing people
really sadly descending their appearance, you can see, like the
descent, searching for something hard searching hard, can't find
anything. So one of the things people are searching for these
days is literally to look demonic. They believe that that's going to
maybe give them something, we really got to spread this message.
And still, if you go to most of them out, go and take your friends
take your family.
And you know what you're gonna win? When is their event? Did you
say?
That? One is? So do you think they would accept?
Or not non Muslim being that just look around? Because I don't have
Muslim family? Yeah, they would for sure. These people 100%.
Because let me tell you something. The education the base of
education from this group, but most of them out is a group of
people. That it's not a group of people. It's a massive heritage.
It's a heritage from Yemen, who pride themselves as being the ones
who took Islam
to all around the world. Indonesia has almost been because of them.
Because the Yemeni people, South Yemen,
West India, all of East Africa, entered Islam three, four or 500
years ago,
because the south Yemenis. Okay, the Balawi people, it's a
heritage, it's not just like a small group, it's a heritage over
centuries, right? So most of them out is basically a build it's a
it's an institution established on that spirit.
So when someone enters Islam, the best place for them to go is most
of them because they're their number one priority is love of the
Prophet. Their number two priority is spread that to non Muslims
bring them in, and how do they do this? What is a focus, humility,
humility, humility and emulation of the Prophet. Like they focus on
humility, more than anything else, because people don't like to be
around other arrogant people. Right? Like you're going to bring
someone new in Islam. The worst thing is to bring up someone who's
going to pass a judgement on this right on them. Look down on them,
or not be considerate. Right? Like start telling Oh, don't do this.
Don't do that. But you're not being considerate. The person
doesn't even know anything. Like they're new. So insha Allah as
someone out there tell us if they have a date for
for their event, that would be amazing. Right? So that
so that they have something and it may be on Zoom too, but, you know,
we want this brother to be able to go there. What's the name of
the prophets?
The prophets, they the event would be called Molad. The event will be
called Molad.
You know, someone's saying you know, I don't know why by not
showing up. Alright, so they'll they'll bring it up in Sharla with
with
WhatsApp chat is this
who, who made this WhatsApp chat?
Run and I'm gonna
say again, if Maliki click is watching, yeah, could you like
Email me and then we can maybe talk or something. Medically click
we will
we have your email address. So I'll have Omar. Connect you guys.
How's that?
Oh, yeah, sure, sure. Yeah. Yeah. And he probably want to have you
on a talk and stuff too.
All right, someone here is saying that if you meet them at most of
them out, they'll keep you company make sure that everything goes
smoothly.
Okay, yeah, that's, that's nice.
Now, how do you study your religion? Now? At this point? How
do I study Islam now?
So do you mean, do I have some kind of like, regimen? Or do you
mean like, What do I look for to study Islam? Like, do you have did
have you, like, focused in and ended up saying, Alright, this is
who I'm going to study from, that's what I'm going to study.
Unfortunately, I've not I've not started reading like Hadith. And
that if you're, if that's what you're talking about, and I've not
really been started any reading any Islamic books by, you know,
Muslims, let me tell you something, I think you're gonna
love this. You gotta get this book.
I'm going to give you to recommend book recommendations. I give this
book recommendation about once a week, I don't have any stock in
it.
It's called the divine for critical minds.
Inquiry into God's existence. And it discusses several several
subject matters related to
doubts, many
subjects related to people's doubts, etc. Let me give you
another book. This one here. Navigating write that down,
navigating the end of time. Oh, wait a second. Oh, okay. I wanted
was something else, but get this book anyway. So because we are in
the end of time, right. And this strengthens, I was considering to
read called the productive Muslim by I think Muhammad Fareed was,
yeah, that's a great book. But it's not like, that's like for
help in life. Yeah. Those are the kinds of books that I'm interested
in, like, because I've read atomic habits and deep work. And it's the
same genre if you know, I mean, yeah, so that's a bridge to the
Islamic version of those things. And those things when you read
those things, you become better at life in general, right.
Here's another book. This is the heavy book, or maybe it's too
heavy, right? This is maybe too heavy, I would say. Right. But
honestly, I think if you if you read this book on the divine, take
a look. The Divine for critical minds, or critical minds. Yeah,
the divine for critical minds. It's written in a very easy
language. And it covers really important things. It's not just
about atheism, it's about the Prophet peace be upon him.
Right, yeah, I'll definitely consider reading it very soon.
Yeah, so this book could probably cost you maybe, like
28 quid because it's a it's a hardcover book. Yeah, that it's
$62. Apparently, well, so that first, yeah, that makes it what?
44 quid? Yeah. About 50. Yeah, but I don't want to screw the author.
Say again? 50 quid, 50 quid hardcover, via I think, I think
definitely.
The softer one, softcover. Yeah, softcover for a lot cheaper. Good.
Well, look, this was really nice talking to you. And if anything
goes down in North England, right. All right. You're going to be our
correspondent, we'll call it we'll contact you again. And we'll talk
I'll show you. I'll just say one thing. Yes, sir. The brother who
said that he'll meet me for that event. Yep. Please email me. My
email addresses on the on the name of my YouTube channel. Okay, good.
Very good under the name of his YouTube channel, you can get his
email address. And then maybe perhaps, for example, you're
driving down, you could drive down as a group, well, hopefully you
don't get kidnapped and killed. But if he's on this live stream,
he will not be doing that inshallah. Tada. All right. And on
this live stream, we don't attract that kind of crowd.
But inshallah we only attract people who really want to do
something good. So you never know who you're going to meet in terms
of opening doors for you and what you're going to see most of
amount, I really hope that you can make it there. They do have an

first 12 days. That's coming up, right? And so just keep banging
around looking around picking around for most of them out

Oh, I don't know the show.
Alright, it's 230 Let's go back to what we were talking about.
Parkview like we are seriously want to make this a serious
Academy. We're like doubling down on it here. Let's get the posters
gonna you know, get the whole that get gold thing out of there. And
just put the just the poster that's it. Yeah. In the in the
side, huh. No, expanded the same size that you have. And just push
it over. Forget that other gold thing? Yeah, just cover it. Yeah,
they're all the way to the corner. First of all,
as you're gonna see here, it's just take a look here. Look at the
gorgeous.
Look at the gorgeous graphic designs here. Have you seen
graphic designs as good before? Personally, I haven't seen any
graphic design this good before. Okay. All right. Should we give a
shout out to one who made it?
Or should we keep them a secret and then we're going to do the
bios of all the teachers that are coming out because we have new
teachers coming on. Okay, but let's talk about this first plus
ArcView plus
Matic is Metzen. And Xia will be taught by Mohammed daddy of
Georgetown. Okay, Matt and medically fit on ArcView plus one
now enter mama that's interactions. Alright, you can
sign up for all this at ArcView dot o RG. Okay. And we've divided
up
we've divided up into four tracks, plus basic
Arabic and kids. Quran is not a track by itself.
But the Quran we now have hubs of Quran for kids. Okay. We now have
hubs of Quran for kids swipe to the next one. Okay.
And here is the Arabic one in which Checkmat de loc has taken
over the ARPA, our program. He is the head of the department of
Arabic. Alright, he's the head of the department of Arabic. And he's
going to give you an Arabic beginner, intermediate and
advanced classes. Okay, Matt, do you like ArcView or o RG? Haven't
I've been saying for a long time that we're revamping the whole
operation, right.
And we are now there will now be examinations. Record keeping of
who like you can take the the course and not take the exam
that's up to you, right. But if you are serious and you want to
study,
there's an exam, we take the exam, and the people who take the exams
will probably get a little bit more attention, right. Let's take
a look at the next slide here. These are the four tracks again
basic kids plus an Arabic Alright, the kids plus in Arabic are all
set at $40 a month, it's essentially free. I would say that
basic is only $10 a month, right? I mean we should be giving you
money at this rate, right? If we continue any more this will give
you given you money to study but $10 A and you will come out with a
very strong foundation of Aikido.
Okay, you will come out with a very strong foundation of FIP in
data debt.
Okay. And then we have other classes into So of all the two
sofas in the basic even though some of it like colada itself
should probably be ArcPy plus, to be honest, we got to move that
colada to solve is not easy. And it assumes a lot of things right
it assumes things so God says oh form of that drunk. But you'll get
your fundamentals of reading the books of him and had done and some
of the books of him. I'm gonna Zadie et cetera. The kids I think
is one of the most important ones because we're now offering hips
four times a week
online with hyphens Junaid okay.
And we're now offering one of our most popular courses by
sisterhood, Ahmed.
Right
She teaches FIP and she likes that middle school age, like mature
enough, but they're still being formed. Neither High School,
neither little kids that middle age, right and maybe really
starting to get into high school. Her class is one of the most
popular classes, because she cares. She puts in effort,
slideshows, presentations, right? How do we teach the classes most
times the sheikh, the teacher will put a PDF on the screen.
And we'll just read through it like usually the Arabic PDF, and
we'll read through it.
Okay, sometimes there isn't an Arabic PDF, sometimes they have
slides in English, like with subtitles, etc. So that's the
really important
portion of our program. All right, next slide.
Someone's asking a question is will argue plus, they'll have
access to basic like before? Yes, of course, plus, always has
activate. But what we removed out of it, we pulled out the Arabic
because it needs special attention. We pulled out the kids
because they are a special group.
That's essentially the difference, right?
And if you're, if you're in the old ArcView plus or basic, you
need real quick. Do it now before you think unsubscribe from the old
one and then re subscribe to the new one. Because it's different
the software companies that were dependent upon them, whether we
like it or not, right? They, they they did something good, but they
didn't finish the job. Okay, what was the good thing they did is
that in the past, in order to put a series of classes together, you
had to create a course and latch on other courses to it. Right?
Now, they said okay, no, now you can make a bundle. And you could
tack on all the courses to that, and it's easier to do. So fine. We
did that. Now, what is the next logical question?
What is the feature that migrates all the students from the first
bundle to the new bundle? Oh, sorry, we didn't develop that yet.
Why do you have to drive us crazy right? Now I have to bother all my
students. And all the members of ArcView to unsubscribe and then
resubscribe right.
And I have to apologize to the students right because they're the
ones who they made an upgrade but there's no way to so you get a new
cell phone. Can I move my contacts over? Know you got to type them
out from scratch?
Is that called Talk? Right? That's what we say in Egypt.
Okay, next is 16 Consider a kid
16
You're on the you're on the cusp. It depends on your past experience
and maturity level. So you may want to go to Basic and you may
want to go to kids you could try out but if you want Hibbs of
Quran, you go to the kids program.
Okay, so the kids program I really like because you have to invest in
the future.
Okay.
All right, next one.
Plus, we did discuss that what's next? Next one? Quran we discuss
that? What about the teachers? Can we put some of their picks up? Or
you still have to download them? Okay, so get them. We'll talk what
to start taking q&a. All right, you. In the meantime, we'll take
q&a In the meantime, almost going to put up some of the bios of our
teachers because we have a lot of new teachers here. Right? And
we're gonna have a head of a department for each subject.
Yeah, that that you put them on. So I could just talk to the
surrogacy faces, rather just posters. Now in the past, people
were given
Patreon. at Patreon, they were given basic ArcView from way back.
So the best thing would be to switch over, that will be the best
thing switch over completely. Right? And it's the cleaner, it's
a cleaner way to do things. Okay. Now, by the way, you should finish
ArcView basic before you take plus, the plus teachers will not,
I repeat will not be reviewing basic terminology. Such as
solitude you.
There's no need to explain, shout it to a job again. The different
train starts at HANSOL to job, right.
That is not fair to the people who took the classes. So take the
basic class, this is a track, it's a track. And eventually we're
going to just put entrance exams basically like a quick quiz to see
if you belong there. Right? Like if you don't know where to start
with differences in short to adjuvant Shazza
then that's not wrong. It's like we're not wrong to not know
something, but you belong in basic. If I can't lift 25 pounds,
I shouldn't lift 100
25 pounds, right? So it's the same thing with knowledge. It's like
math. This stuff is like math. This is objective. We're not just
telling stories here, right? It's objective. So Schicht Shamcey
Timmies is going to be teaching methanol eg.
It's a big book. Right? So, Sheikh Murad teaches the preparatory
oculata class.
The preparatory texts of Aki, they are at the Hawa.
He teaches then advocate aka Bible Hanifa. And does he teach a third
book? That's it? Those are the two preparatory texts that he teaches,
okay, then you can go after that you can go to Mutsun EEG. Okay.
But again, it is a prerequisite to take the basic classes or
something similar from another organization. Okay.
All right. She felt Khan says I'm new here. So I apologize if this
has been discussed before. Do we know what the Sahaba did when the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam received revelation.
They watched him. They watched the revolution. And that happened a
few times. And once a hobby Ahmed when
he asked,
he knew he wanted to see the prophets revolution.
And then another Sahaba when the Prophet was received a revelation
he wanted he called them and said here and, and he looked at it and
watched, they watched other times.
The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam received revelation in a
different way, in an easy way, which was by talking to Gibreel
Ali Salam in the form of a man. There was a companion his name was
Dahiya al Kelby, and said, Najib, read it Salam came to the
messenger peace be upon him in that form,
in the form of jihad kalbi, he takes on the form of jihad
Academy, so many people would just think he's talking to you. But in
fact, he's talking to Djibouti, and that that point you'd be
simply recites the Quran, the prophet hears it and remembers it.
The other type of method of revelation was that the messenger
salAllahu alayhi wa sallam would
feel a heavy heaviness, and he would get hot and sweaty,
and he would feel a heaviness and it was very difficult for him to
bear. And he would hear as if the ringing of a bell
and then that would dissipate, and then he would come out and he
would recite the words. So these are the two ways in which the
Quran was revealed to the Prophet slicin The Prophet received
communication from Allah in different manners that were not
revelation like what dreams ill him what is ill him ill ham is the
the message from Allah enters your heart.
And then he speaks it with his own words we call the Hadith
but it's ill him
and in him is painless. It's just as if the message came in to start
right away.
And the the sign of an ill him is that it has no
sequence to it.
Right so if I'm telling you a sentence, I'm telling you let's
say the sentence is 10 words. I sell you word one word two word
three word for word five up to 10 but when in it ham comes from
Allah subhanaw taala and he's an award will occur there's no
beginning and no end the meaning right away all of it comes into
your heart. That is one of the mark hallmarks of him
and a person cannot remember like the gradation of the land there's
no gradation the whole thing meaning comes into your heart at
in one shot it's upon Allah
and
I believe that the the revelation of like a bell when the heavier
revelation all of the meaning came at once not to doubt origin Yeah,
but once ended up recited to the prophet of course he recited word
by word that's good I'm in love the mighty Colombian Neff see
going straight in
right? Because Colombian FC has no beginning no end.
Okay
someone is saying about subscribing it doesn't wait to the
end of the month right? So if you're already on the for your
first
you know cycle you can wait to the end of the month no problem
All right, let's start looking at our teachers. Go ahead. This is
Hafez Junaid he's our Quran teacher.
He is that is your teacher for the kids. Even if maybe an adult wants
to show up I guess nothing's gonna not gonna stop them. But that's
half is Junaid Okay? He'll be teaching the kids and they're here
his assistant will be teaching Noorani kada for anyone who wants
it. Guy or no Ronnie Claude is learning the letters how the
letters connect
It's amazing book. Next.
This is Sheikh Osama Sol here. This is the teacher first chef, a
VIP and Johanna to toe heat. And he also teaches as a as a on
demand course that's there, the thick of inheritance with immense
slides. We did all that in COVID. That's how we spent our COVID.
Slides. And he did the
all the inheritance on that using a texts. It's named skipping my
mind, but it was written by one of the Habib of Yemen, she could have
been from Yemen cut, so that's trickling down, and he's only an
hour away from us too. Because that ICPC in in Clifton, Chai
next. And this chick North Saunders, I'm really looking
something special here in the picture. I got a, you know, gonna
have to talk to him about this. Right. So, look at Angelica in the
picture. He is has been diligently teaching our students to tweet.
And really graduating some students really, he worked so hard
teaching them to tweet every week now for almost two, three years.
And then we had he and he now teaches or go by Warzone real
quick. He also is now going to be teaching tafsir by reading also
the tafsir. And by reading Igneel Josie is tafsir select Suez cough,
he has seen just I'm so on ignorance Josie is tafsir. And
that is a ArcView plus class, because you're going to be using
the Arabic Tafseer. And reading from it. Our methodology for
teaching Hadith and tafsir. And an Arabic all in one in a sense, is
to put the Arabic PDF up and go through it word by word with the
students and explain what's happening here. i For me, it was
one of my favorite things to do. If I was when I'm not busy anymore
with the situations that I have. I'm going to go back to doing I
mean I could do that for hours reading from One Book To Another
to another. Plus, I want to see what books you got here. First of
all, all right, next.
All right, this is wisdom and Ahmed
from England, and he is our humbly fifth teacher. Humbly Philip
folks. We teach oh by the way, I forgot to announce you guys
haven't buddy Arcada is up which if you use have been signed up.

Yeah. Oh, you got what's up on laptop on a gun the desktop
seems like you know every
all these tech developments are missing out on Yep.
It's been a thing right?
It's a good thing, right?
Because
you can just check it without being on his phone, right? Yeah,
sure. Cuz Suraj does not have a cell phone at all. A flip phone he
only he doesn't have a smartphone. Okay.
Is the kids halves personalized? Yes. You enter the zoom session.
And the shake will take you your recite.
Work with you for a little bit. They'll send you back. Alright,
you want to do hips and come tomorrow? I know some of you want
to do hips and come back same day. Recite again. Maybe you didn't
recite well
do that too, right within the session. And he has two sessions
too, by the way. There's two sessions. There's a morning
session and afternoon session. So when we said four, four days a
week, but three of those days he's meeting twice a day. Big so it
suits everybody. Okay. So that it benefits everybody. Okay.
Is methanol eg Elmo octave, says Najib Johnson. Yes, it is. It is
an MA.
Because he only has that one core working on theta. And it's a
morph. So it's also known as method eg. All right, Omar next.
Maureen said he teaches you no more in the head of he's going to
kill me for putting this picture up. By the way. Yes, he's got his
like, professional photo up fast forward. So they didn't get fired
from his job. He just told me today like what picture you put on
me, right?
But he teaches the Sierra
and he teaches on our few kids. He teaches the Sierra, he loves the
storytelling part of it, and he does it very well. And he has his
own kids now. So that's why he's into it. Right. Okay, next.
This is Mohammed Ali, who's going to be teaching Metzen and Zia and
medically flip.
The lineup for medically fit this year. This fall is Muhammad Ali
for ArcView plus on Metzen Xia and the Wizard of Oz teaching, Intro
dramatic effect. I told us, I've been saying to the students, I
have certain family situations. So I've cancelled a lot of streams
over the last, like, couple months, I were cancelled a lot. So
that's why I had to step back a little bit from teaching until
that is resolved. So the Wizard of Oz is going to become your new
medical teacher. For those who have been studying with me the
last year, every Tuesday, diligently they show up on Zoom.
And some of you have graduated. Like if some of you have taken the
Mattoon the three Mattoon twice now. Okay, and so now you're ready
to take maternal Zia which now goes into the basic now pillars of
boo your Nica like that. Good. So that's Muhammad Ali out of
Georgetown, all ships will have students. Next.
There is Maddy lock.
Mandy lock is going to be teaching Arabic And Chef a folk guy he's
gonna be teaching Arabic he runs the whole Arabic department and he
teaches chef a film alright. So he teaches
elmen Hedgy Okay, in Shafi FIP filmen *,
okay next
Imran Ahmed.
Mosinee, as if you remember was our teacher in in ArcView for
Hanafi FIP. But he ended up getting a very busy job down the
road from us. And so he got too busy so but Emraan Ahmed, and he
can be back sha Allah Martinez and Radha Hamid is teaching our Hanafi
fiqh. He is our resident Hanafi leader, and he teaches us here and
he teaches at daughter FETs. And he lives around the corner from
us. So that is, was to the
I'm Ron admet. Okay, so if you're 100 feet, that's your teacher.
Next.
And here's Simpson semis joining us for the first time teaching a
200 level Aki to class.
He is a motor column. He is a multicolumn. Right. And he knows
his stuff. And he studied in,
in Turkey. He definitely knows his stuff. Now.
The men hedge here is that
it's not about some kind of one time experience. This is what the
Olia do for life. They study and they teach for life. thick and
thin. Communists come communist go, winter comes winter goes, this
is what they do. There are like,
almost like things of nature in the world. Right? The rain never
goes out of fashion.
Like there's no century where the rain just stopped.
There is no if you look at the creation of the mountains, trees,
oak trees, apple trees, these things don't stop. They don't go
out of fashion. Right? And if you notice, food can come and go away.
If it's manmade. Like there isn't going to be a time where people
don't like to eat a certain dessert, right? It's just the
tastebuds changed. There is never going to be a time when people
stopped liking mangoes, right? When Allah creates something, it
never goes out of fashion.
There's no extinction because he's an older worker. So they have a
touch of the CIFA of course of stability.
Lay lay a Zulu, the attribute of Allah is absolutely desert and his
Elia and things of his creation
They don't, of course are not eternal, right but they have the
attribute of stability and never go out of fashion. Elia Allah min.
Hajin. Olia. To manage that we took this Mina hitch from right.
The men had of the earlier
Imams of Islam has never changed in 200 years if they're so life on
Earth, it will be the same. They're going to study the Arabic
language, they're study the Quran, they study Hadith, study it to
study fit, and then study no was it after that? No, as it is the
new matters,
it will never change. That's the beauty of it. So you never feel
that you're in a race. In a race, there's, there's no enter this so
relax. Our philosophy is that you sign up because Cairo turbidity,
Angelou sign up to any class that you you find the benefit. All
right, whatever it is good. In our case, this is what we're offering.
You sign up, you should, if you can't do it, you can always
decrease the amount that you do. And that's why we emphasize the
pre recorded classes. As someone says if I can't attend this live
class, it clashes with my work. So that's why we created the pre
recorded classes, every class now next semester, or halfway through
the semester will probably be up the recordings they go up pretty
quick.
And so study a little bit at a time from the recordings right
look even just 10 minutes at a time 15 minutes at a time.
All right here we go humbly Arcada This is the big one.
And this is the class that I want to read you the subject matters of
this class. The subtopics Roman numeral one
the divine attributes this is shake as you see in the picture
here use have been sought to
shift use have been set up
what it Tamia said about discussing C fats with common
Muslims that's the first subject matter. First lecture second
lecture. What is Tet? We'll and what did the Hannah Bella say
about weed?
Third one, humbly and Ashley Akita compared
and what are they similar? Which way they differ? And they never
differ on the hustle of air ticket. They differ upon how they
handle the questions brought by philosophers and innovators.
That's how they differ. Right. As for the actual belief itself, the
essence of the beliefs are not so different. If any, you probably
can't find many differences, right.
Otherwise
has hasn't actually would not have said Mm hmm. And we're upon his
Aki this is how you differ with the Nawaz and how you differ with
the new matters. That is is the issue is the difference. Okay,
next subject.
The athlete IV Imam Muhammad Ibn Hanbal, in all sorts of pseudonym,
the which somebody scholars, the most authentic representation of
Imam Muhammad
covers that subject.
On Allah being the real DOER of things, humbly and Ashati, awkward
as compared
to if we'd between humbly and sad, humbly prohibition on Tet, we'll
have specific words. And so if we'd, in the humble decreed
don't worry about sometimes the sheikh may cover one topic in
another video ahead of its time, but that's okay. It happens all
the time. When you take the whole thing, you'll you'll get the whole
picture. And now Roman numeral two to us. So illustrata al baraka and
who has the power to do things right? Because these muscles are
all tied to the one muscle of who has true power to do things.
Once you believe that,
only Allah has the power to do things.
And asking others is out of two sub or is tightness mainly to sub
right because Allah commandos take from us but then it doesn't matter
at that point you will never become shift to ask somebody for
something if you're at UCLA does and that's what he covers here.
And he says not we don't say chip Maximo says haram solely because
there is no precedent for it or that we don't have certainty that
it will help us.
The humbly ruling on his took off that's less lecture 1011 is
Siddhartha discussion, continued lecture 12 Do created things have
any power 14 to lesson 13 Abdulkadir Gilani on the real DOER
of things in the universe.
15 What are the habit of little colored agenda and he's
represented right here. You guys know that right? Where's the flag?
You know,
the blue part is Abdulkadir agenda and the black and whites.
The green part of course Satakarni to fleck Yep.
To us so loved
Clozaril JELA and what the Hannah gonna say about St. Martha, what
is the value of to us sold through pious people? What is the
difference between to us sold with people versus Dedes
the ruling of seeking Baraka
next a Roman numeral three graves visitation dome speaking to the
dead building shrines on graves on visiting graves can the dead hear
us it's a man of no claim give their answer. Roman numeral four
to so with the meaning of Buddha in the humbly school to so within
the humbly school 20 minute lesson.
Roman numeral five authentic sources have humbly updated
the books, texts and sources of the humbly Creed 25 The position
of Ibn Taymiyyah in fifth recept he'd like it in FIP Edmund Samia
has a standing with the high nebula in our theater he has a
different standing with the Annapurna.
I believe he is his fatawa are considered infamous.
But in Nokia is a different he's going to talk about it there. I'll
leave him to talk about all right, did we cover everyone here?
All right, so what am I teaching? I'm teaching
collides to solve by city amazulu. That's what I'm teaching
Thursdays.
In person, right, you're just recording it while you're
teaching.
What's up like the one you do in person? You're recording that
right? And then on Zoom? Yeah. Yep. The one I do in person? Yep.
Okay, how are we doing on time? Let's do 57 to 47 Turquoise is
asking, what is the Arabic Oh servants of Allah help me? Yeah.
Eva de la Iannone. Yeah, a bad Allah unit. That's the hadith of
st of artha. The melodica. That means in your that the psychology
of that is that you're in the desert. Right? It gives people
hope of you're in the desert. If you're if you're if you're lost in
the desert alone.
And you're lost in the desert with 100 other people, which one gives
you is less hardship 100 other people, right? Because they're on
the lost in the desert alone. All right, I feel that it all rests
upon my energy and my brain and my eyes and my ears. But if I have
100 other people, that's 200 198 More ears, right? That's 198 more
eyes. That's more energy. And humans love humans, right? Do we
give each other energy we talk we can motivate each other. And we
could do what we can do with 100 peoples that we could do by
ourselves. So likewise, the prophet is is is not just speaking
about getting help. He's also speaking about to the psychology
of the human being, you're never alone. We never have to worry
about being alone.
All right, there are melodica all over the place. And they're always
helping buddy Adam. Many times people imagine what was life like,
in the pre modern times in the pre technology technological era.
There is how many people have ever thought this man what was life
like before they had technology?
You have now deemed technology to be out of humans is the main
helper of humans. That's the perception. The underlying part of
that statement is that technology is the number one aid of humans.
But it's not. Allah has mana it got to help everybody and most of
them would Kaffir if it dunya help of the dunya we're not saying help
of the Aqua help of the dunya. We're not saying help of the deen
we're having help of the disinherited dunya. There are
melodica assisting people in their life because they're meant to live
on this dunya so that they can be tested. Right? When when the road
team comes to play a match in the stadium, and our stadium? Does not
our organization hosts them. Because we can't have a match
without them. We host them and we root against them. Right? So
likewise, and most of them will care for gets aid help from
melodica in this life, okay? That Hadith of the prophets of Allah
when he was set up, there's an angel by your eye protecting your
eye? Is it for Muslim only? No, it's for the kaffir to why because
he can't be judged. If he doesn't hear and see. He can't be tested
if he doesn't hear and see. So Allah Himself will ensure their
survival.
Okay.
So that is not too lucky. And my job is not Allah giving them love
on their CO for No, he's helping them. Most of them would cafard
because this is the abode of testing and when it is not for
cannot be tested. If we're living in a world that basically all
we're trying to do is survive. So Allah has always helped human
beings through melodica to survive, right in this world. It's
also a way to test their gratitude. And most people will
live their entire life never knowing that melodica helped them.
And we say no problem. You don't need to know they're just the sub.
But you will
I believe that Allah helped you. Like you have to know that the
source of it all is Allah is help. Right? So that's where you should
never worry about people in the past or the future Allah to Allah
will always ensure that they can live right so that because they
need to live in the sights of dunya and Allah has Rama Allah is
merciful right? It's not just only solely because they have to be
tested in some cold calculated way but also Allah has Rama and that
Rama we know the name of Rahman indicates his aid of all his
creation and the name Rahim is specific to the macmini then what
we need now to offer Rahim
okay
did we finish all our slides?
Good, because we're going to be doing this again with this course
specific posters that we get. Okay.
All right message from from Yan. Not that it's a big deal, but my
name is misspelled in the in the title. Can you fix it? Add a K
between the Z and the O. Okay, so there you go.
I need guidance about life searching for a partner making
most of of of life dunya and akhira.
Okay.
I think the best source of life is going to be through what the
prophesy Simpson and nesu bidness. Well, kulula people they live to
help other people and everyone is for is aided by Allah subhanaw
taala. So what we mean here is that if you're alone, chances are
you're missing out on too much. You're missing out on way to
watch. The there's even a casita written by I think have you been
on one himself is that there's no happiness in life except with your
brothers, with your friends. And it's through that, that all the
good things happen. It's by having a gym out by having a little crew
that you can get married through their trust develops and people
marry, right?
People get jobs, when you're sick people take care of you. At least
they care, right? At least when you're sick, you know, that? Maybe
people didn't ask, but when I come back, after two weeks of being
out, they're gonna say something, right? They're gonna go, oh, well,
where are you all that nice stuff, right? So that feeling is really
what gives life to a person and when your heart feels good, your
whole body's gonna respond. You're not going to be you're going to be
more healthy when your heart is happy and satisfied and filled
with the love of your brothers. And that's why I like to study off
data so much and FIP is because all right, we're all gonna get
together
upon what
like, what's going to be the referee of this group. What's
going to be the guide of this group because you asked the
question, if we love friends so much and Samba so much, what ruins
everything that ruins it can be cured through opti to unfit
Prince's oath
at the soulful, cure the hearts from envying each other. At fifth,
we'll make sure that we do our dealings correctly
so that we don't end up
in court or end up in a feud. Right, most people don't go to
court, but they have fields, feuds related to money fields related to
marriage future related to mama that we need a referee here to
guide us. Because I don't know what bothers you what bothers you,
it bothers you, I'm not going to go study what bothers everybody.
I'm going to study what Allah tells us, right? This is not how
to treat a human. This is how to treat your Muslim, right? It's not
easier than knowing well, what bothers it? Okay, well, let's draw
out what bothers us now, I'm not going to keep doing this, right.
Just give me one set of way of behaving, that is going to be good
for everybody. Okay. And of course, that doesn't take aside
that there will be some times there will always be specific
cases, like with someone so I know you can't talk like that. But how
much of it enough that I can download that in my head. It's not
going to be everything, right? 98% of the muama is the same, right?
We're but it's just that 2% Now, you reduced it to 2%. Only, I have
to tweak, right, personalize it. So I'll clean, like, Akita is so
important about what we believe about life about existence, okay,
and it feeds everything else after that slide. It's also known as
also the dean. There's also the fifth but also the dean is our
leader. So
by having a our daily practice touching a little bit every day on
our feet a little bit every day on Fifth, just a little bit doesn't
have to be heavy lifting a little bit. But after five years, after
10 years, after 15 years, it's compounded to a lot. It's a
culture No, right. And it can regulate our relationships and
keep our relationships lasting the longest amount of time and
I can't emphasize how much this stuff is important in this it
removes the uswest that people get a victory Allah it expels that
with sweat so many people they get with Swiss about others shaytaan
puts it there he will put it with sweat in your mind that so and so
talked about you someone so doesn't like you so and so doesn't
answer you but answers everybody else
all sorts of requests
have something to say
to others now Islam
All right, ladies and gentlemen, and all of our friends in England
because a lot of listeners are here from England and we had our
guests from England today. So we England is like the older brother
of Muslims in America because they've been around longer, their
institutions are all bigger. Right? But our space is bigger
here in America and you know the
we need to do to win with them and always be in touch with our
brothers and sisters in England. All right, folks, just a couple of
errands Subhanak Allah Who Moby Dick. Now share the one
Illa illa Anta nests of Pharaoh going to break with us in Santa Fe
