and it's on the Safina cited page by the way see fina side of

00:04:30 --> 00:04:34

YouTube page go to proceed to heat that's what it's called consider

00:04:34 --> 00:04:38

to to hit on the civil society YouTube page. Did you all get

00:04:38 --> 00:04:41

watch McCall Did you also listen to the podcast that was released

00:04:41 --> 00:04:42

this morning?

00:04:43 --> 00:04:46

It was a really serious podcast. It was a really good podcast.

00:04:46 --> 00:04:50

Alright that you should get this in front is that what we're doing

00:04:50 --> 00:04:50

today?

00:04:52 --> 00:04:56

It was really good podcast that you all should Inshallah, listen

00:04:56 --> 00:04:59

to and make and benefit from because we talked about

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

A lot of headaches about Mr. Saba and we talked about mentality and

00:05:03 --> 00:05:06

mindset, which is really important. Some people think that

00:05:06 --> 00:05:09

you're sort of like mean, okay to people who are weak I'm not mean

00:05:09 --> 00:05:12

to be weak I don't believe there's something called people who are

00:05:12 --> 00:05:15

weak. Anybody can learn

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

to recenter Allah subhanaw taala in our mindset in our minds

00:05:22 --> 00:05:26

and believe that every everything that's going to happen to us is

00:05:26 --> 00:05:30

going to have a good ending. So weakness is not

00:05:32 --> 00:05:34

you know, it's not something that is

00:05:36 --> 00:05:40

it's a given it's something that you choose almost choose to, to

00:05:40 --> 00:05:44

believe in. Right that I'm weak now the instance can you lift up

00:05:44 --> 00:05:48

the phone now just lift that up? Give it a couple of legs

00:05:50 --> 00:05:54

cozy glow now weirdly, because we had some tech issues we still have

00:05:54 --> 00:05:58

some tech issues every once in a while. Okay, so cozy club we

00:05:58 --> 00:06:01

haven't we're waiting on when stuff breaks now we have a guest

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

so we'll talk what effect is Do I have if Allah will is unchanged

00:06:07 --> 00:06:12

our draw has the effect that Allah's Will is one way that you

00:06:12 --> 00:06:13

can look at it

00:06:14 --> 00:06:18

is that a lot as well as many possibilities? This is some things

00:06:18 --> 00:06:21

Oh, that's really good. That's really good. has many different

00:06:21 --> 00:06:25

possibilities. If you do this, that's Allah's Will for you. If

00:06:25 --> 00:06:28

you do this, that's Allah's will do I will put you on what is best

00:06:28 --> 00:06:31

for you. That is one of the statements I thought of I said, is

00:06:31 --> 00:06:34

that the will of Allah subhanaw taala for you has multiple

00:06:34 --> 00:06:35

possibilities.

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

You understand? So that's what's important. That's why do I will

00:06:39 --> 00:06:41

push you to what is best for you.

00:06:42 --> 00:06:46

Okay, that's one answer. Let's see what as we wait for our guests

00:06:46 --> 00:06:51

today. Most of Briggs is a British brother, who is

00:06:57 --> 00:07:01

you guys all hear that? These guys, there's a mechanic shop out

00:07:01 --> 00:07:04

there, like souped up cars and stuff. Y'all heard that right?

00:07:04 --> 00:07:09

These guys are nuts. Going he just what did you is that a noisemaker

00:07:09 --> 00:07:11

on the car? Or was he actually going like 120?

00:07:12 --> 00:07:15

Just to noisemaker he was there's no way he was going 100 And this

00:07:15 --> 00:07:16

road is so narrow.

00:07:17 --> 00:07:20

Sure, can you speak Arabic and Hamdulillah? No. How do you see

00:07:20 --> 00:07:24

the prophet in the dreams as odd as when we see the Prophet in our

00:07:24 --> 00:07:28

dreams of Allah when he was setting them by making much much

00:07:28 --> 00:07:32

much Salah and salam upon him. nonstops Allah and salam upon him

00:07:32 --> 00:07:34

nonstop. Okay, nonstop.

00:07:39 --> 00:07:42

All right, let's go. I have a personal questions a little too

00:07:42 --> 00:07:44

long for the livestream, send a DM why not?

00:07:46 --> 00:07:49

Show that we are waiting for our guests stuff a breaks.

00:07:51 --> 00:07:53

Before we begin, yeah.

00:07:54 --> 00:07:55

We begin.

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

Okay, and we can chit chat and until until we start talking about

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

whatever you guys want to talk about until we get to our man of

00:08:03 --> 00:08:07

the hour and our guests. Now. I don't even know about him until

00:08:07 --> 00:08:10

recently. And all the brothers had when they studied with him in

00:08:10 --> 00:08:13

Egypt, like their students together in Egypt said, Oh,

00:08:13 --> 00:08:16

Southern Briggs is in town. I said, Okay, well, who is he?

00:08:16 --> 00:08:21

Right? And they said, Oh, he's one of our friends. And he, you know,

00:08:21 --> 00:08:26

he's got a book and everything. So I was like, okay, and then so

00:08:26 --> 00:08:29

happened. We I missed him in Jersey. It's so happened he ends

00:08:29 --> 00:08:35

up going to Michigan on the same weekend I go to, I get there, and

00:08:35 --> 00:08:38

we both get snowed out. From the East Coast flights were all

00:08:38 --> 00:08:44

canceled. So me and him ended up basically meeting up at the hummus

00:08:44 --> 00:08:47

coffee shop with a whole bunch of guys like even me thought it.

00:08:48 --> 00:08:50

Why don't we get even every topic on here?

00:08:51 --> 00:08:53

Yeah, his name is Todd.

00:08:54 --> 00:08:56

Okay, but he goes by and

00:08:57 --> 00:08:59

he's a really clever guy.

00:09:00 --> 00:09:01

Who

00:09:03 --> 00:09:07

Okay, what if we realize that we make a mistake and so law mistakes

00:09:07 --> 00:09:10

are not all the same. There are some mistakes in erosion of Salah,

00:09:10 --> 00:09:13

such as the require itself, the sujood itself, the Fatiha that's

00:09:14 --> 00:09:17

rockin of Salah you cancel that whole rocker. And the next raka

00:09:17 --> 00:09:20

you treat it as if it was the luck of before that, or it's a

00:09:20 --> 00:09:22

pseudonym or EPCA which are eight.

00:09:23 --> 00:09:28

So then aka the silent and out loud, the Jews and the sitting

00:09:28 --> 00:09:32

down for the test leam and the sutra the median the tech Kabir

00:09:33 --> 00:09:36

saying Allahu Akbar, Allah lumen Hamidah and the two Tisha hoods

00:09:36 --> 00:09:40

that's eight Sunon waka if you miss any of those, you do sudo the

00:09:40 --> 00:09:41

so okay.

00:09:44 --> 00:09:48

I know that's probably maybe I said it too quickly. But when you

00:09:48 --> 00:09:51

come into the UK, I was actually planning to come to UK in the

00:09:51 --> 00:09:55

summer of 2020. But you all know what happened on that summer COVID

00:09:56 --> 00:09:57

What's the cape that you're

00:09:58 --> 00:09:59

wearing called? These are

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

Call this it's called a sell him. I love these things to sell him

00:10:04 --> 00:10:08

it's basically a cape with a hood right it's a steal him some people

00:10:08 --> 00:10:11

put up the hood like this. I don't know I don't usually wear the hood

00:10:11 --> 00:10:13

but I mean I could hold on a second

00:10:16 --> 00:10:20

you could wear the hood like this but I never wear the hood. Usually

00:10:20 --> 00:10:22

I don't wear the hood. But you could wear the looks like pretty

00:10:22 --> 00:10:25

cool like a Jedi knight or something like that. Look at that.

00:10:26 --> 00:10:32

Like a proper, like a real Sufi. No, not like look at this Jedi

00:10:32 --> 00:10:36

Knight. Right? That's what that's how they dress right? So on

00:10:36 --> 00:10:40

anyway, that's that's basically how the hood goes. And you can get

00:10:40 --> 00:10:42

these we're selling some by the way we're going to sell some on

00:10:42 --> 00:10:45

the store because we just got a shipment from Tunisian capes.

00:10:46 --> 00:10:49

We're going to sell them on the store. Habib's got a job by the

00:10:49 --> 00:10:50

way.

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

So Charla Ryan will facilitate with heavy What if you spend most

00:10:56 --> 00:10:59

of your time doing zip code and not a chance to make personalized

00:10:59 --> 00:11:03

dua? Do you still get what your heart desires are is important to

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

verbalize your DUA it is important to verbalize your DUA there's

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

three states that a person is in a state of desperation of a state of

00:11:12 --> 00:11:15

Raja or desire for something that you feel like your heart feels

00:11:15 --> 00:11:18

tranquility when you ask for it. And then there's a state of

00:11:18 --> 00:11:21

satisfaction where all you do is remembrance of Allah so if you

00:11:21 --> 00:11:23

actually have a state where your your your

00:11:25 --> 00:11:28

you feel that something is meant for you that something's good for

00:11:28 --> 00:11:32

you right then you make dua for it. You should make dua for it

00:11:32 --> 00:11:35

because there's there's fuck into fucker means there's impoverished

00:11:35 --> 00:11:39

we're showing that we are were impoverished for us. We need a

00:11:39 --> 00:11:42

lotta we're not someone who we're not people who don't need Allah we

00:11:42 --> 00:11:47

need him. Okay, so we should be impoverished at his door and

00:11:47 --> 00:11:52

whoever is at his door long enough it is likely that the door is

00:11:52 --> 00:11:57

going to open Alright, whoever persists to knock on the door it

00:11:57 --> 00:12:00

will be opens okay Robbie either way said why do you even imagine

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

that the door is closed. Right? But that's the what the ultimate

00:12:04 --> 00:12:07

say is that you keep knocking on the door it's going to open for

00:12:07 --> 00:12:09

you. Alright, so

00:12:10 --> 00:12:14

can anyone make dua for me I do well on an important exam for you

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

so pay

00:12:16 --> 00:12:19

so pay who I'm assuming is in the Gypsy piano.

00:12:20 --> 00:12:23

May Allah subhanaw taala give you that Sophia on your exam. Make

00:12:23 --> 00:12:25

sure you sleep early, get a good night's rest.

00:12:28 --> 00:12:32

What is the best vicar for dua salam ala Nabi sallallahu alayhi

00:12:32 --> 00:12:35

wa sallam will cause someone's drought to be answered according

00:12:35 --> 00:12:40

to share. AbdulQadir cough He said those who do a lot and a lot of

00:12:40 --> 00:12:44

dua, a salon the Prophet Allah gives them what they asked for the

00:12:44 --> 00:12:48

really cool guy he's saying, is this where people ask questions?

00:12:48 --> 00:12:48

Yes, it is.

00:12:50 --> 00:12:51

Right, I'll see it I'll see it.

00:12:52 --> 00:12:56

The red and white schmuck is a symbol of the Wahhabi have nudged

00:12:56 --> 00:12:59

given all the oppression they've committed against Muslims would it

00:12:59 --> 00:13:03

still be just like to wear it? Mauro Blanco for that answer to

00:13:03 --> 00:13:09

that question. I think that the Jordanians? They still wear it and

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

they're upon the Sunnah I've seen Jordanian tour I study

00:13:14 --> 00:13:19

chef as Hanif ease maturities they wear that red and white thingy

00:13:21 --> 00:13:21

whatever it is

00:13:23 --> 00:13:24

where's our man?

00:13:26 --> 00:13:30

Yeah, give him a call. Do you do sudo to so after Salam if you

00:13:30 --> 00:13:35

added something to Salah you do sudo to sow after Salam. If you

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

decrease something in Salah he used to do this before Saddam. If

00:13:39 --> 00:13:40

you forget

00:13:42 --> 00:13:47

or you combined, it doesn't really matter. Any students will suffice

00:13:47 --> 00:13:51

you but if you can remember, than to do sudo DISA who before us if

00:13:51 --> 00:13:54

you if you left something off before Saddam, if you added

00:13:54 --> 00:13:56

something than after synonym.

00:13:58 --> 00:14:02

Sunshine says if I read the words on the Safina Society website,

00:14:02 --> 00:14:04

would it replace the morning and night of God? Yes, these they are

00:14:04 --> 00:14:07

the morning and night of God they're they're one of the best

00:14:09 --> 00:14:12

of God. collections of the morning and the evening by Satan at the

00:14:12 --> 00:14:13

moment had that

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

we have a question from Mohammed Patel. How can one remove jealousy

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

from his heart? If you're envious of somebody, then you are

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

disagreeing with Allah's distribution of things. The only

00:14:26 --> 00:14:30

time that this jealousy is acceptable or is allowed is that

00:14:30 --> 00:14:33

when you are upset that good things are happening to an

00:14:33 --> 00:14:36

oppressor or a grave sinner or something like that, because you

00:14:36 --> 00:14:42

feel that other people will get corrupted by that. That's why it

00:14:42 --> 00:14:46

is okay to be upset at that. But other than that, we're talking

00:14:46 --> 00:14:50

about Allah subhanaw taala is the distributor of good have the NEMA

00:14:50 --> 00:14:54

here so you don't disagree with Allah. It's not a smart idea to

00:14:54 --> 00:14:58

disagree with Allah subhanaw taala on what he chooses to distribute

00:14:58 --> 00:15:00

to whom just let

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

You go, that's what Allah chose to distribute. Right? Secondly, what

00:15:03 --> 00:15:06

are you jealous on? Dunya? What are you jealous over?

00:15:07 --> 00:15:11

Because they got a good marriage. They got a good car, they got a

00:15:11 --> 00:15:14

good job. They got a good brain. It's headed to dunya. Let him have

00:15:14 --> 00:15:16

it. What's wrong with that?

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

He'll be in 15 minutes. So let's just do a q&a for 15 minutes

00:15:20 --> 00:15:25

because he's the main show today. And we'll do a q&a for 15 minutes.

00:15:25 --> 00:15:26

So let's go with

00:15:29 --> 00:15:31

Ryan give us something what you got?

00:15:32 --> 00:15:36

How can sisters on their cycle benefit from this three month shot

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

ban? Um, sisters on their cycle can totally benefit from Mr.

00:15:40 --> 00:15:42

Shaban by getting up for da Unzicker. No doubt about it. And

00:15:42 --> 00:15:46

in the medical madam, she can recite the Quran from an iPad, no

00:15:46 --> 00:15:48

problem at all. She just can't touch the muscles because she

00:15:48 --> 00:15:51

didn't have to do but in the medical method, the Fetzer of Imam

00:15:51 --> 00:15:58

medic is that joke is not hate. Right journal is something that a

00:15:58 --> 00:16:02

person did themselves by having * and they could get out

00:16:02 --> 00:16:06

of it whenever they want to by doing this. So the spectrum of the

00:16:06 --> 00:16:11

mimetic is that Genova and Hyde are two different things. So

00:16:11 --> 00:16:15

what's the difference? The job cannot recite the Quran as a bad

00:16:15 --> 00:16:19

he can cite in evidence, or to I would seek refuge, but he cannot

00:16:19 --> 00:16:24

do a better with recitation of the Quran. But a woman in hide she can

00:16:25 --> 00:16:30

she can get up for dua, she can do all those things. 110% Basically,

00:16:30 --> 00:16:31

No, there's nothing

00:16:33 --> 00:16:36

stopping her except she doesn't do salah. Okay.

00:16:37 --> 00:16:41

How would you recommend our day go for the Mr. Shah event. So that's

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

going to be tomorrow. So So you want to really maximize from

00:16:45 --> 00:16:48

evidence until February because I believe we all want something

00:16:48 --> 00:16:48

don't we

00:16:50 --> 00:16:52

have the dean and the dunya

00:16:54 --> 00:16:57

This is the night just you're gonna get it. It's not gonna just

00:16:57 --> 00:17:01

drop down from the sky. But it means if Allah wills it to happen,

00:17:02 --> 00:17:05

he sets in motion the ASVAB. And you'll start seeing for the next

00:17:05 --> 00:17:09

coming year things are changing, right towards what you're looking

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

for.

00:17:10 --> 00:17:14

So what we're going to do is what we have to do is take advantage

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

when the king puts out an invitation like this, you'd be

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

just not smart if you don't take advantage of this. So we're going

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

to do is a bad and DA and then take a small sleep a little bit

00:17:26 --> 00:17:30

after a shot, maybe whatever and then get up for a nice 200 And a

00:17:35 --> 00:17:37

certainty of the job.

00:17:38 --> 00:17:39

Good.

00:17:40 --> 00:17:45

Have you read any books of Imam Abdullah Khan? How Hudson's just

00:17:45 --> 00:17:47

to tell you that this is like the

00:17:48 --> 00:17:52

the bi weekly or what is bi weekly twice a week or every other week?

00:17:52 --> 00:17:56

Yeah, it's about it's about twice a week. What do you think twice a

00:17:56 --> 00:18:00

week or once a week? Twice a week we get the question on ama doc on

00:18:01 --> 00:18:04

Burrell we will have a great opinion of him and he is one of

00:18:04 --> 00:18:05

the survivors of the OMA

00:18:06 --> 00:18:09

cozy. Chloe says what does the prophets I send them benefit from

00:18:09 --> 00:18:13

us making dua for him like why did he tell us just pray for him? And

00:18:13 --> 00:18:17

stuff? If he's the Prophet? Okay, good question. And the scholars

00:18:17 --> 00:18:20

have updated they talked about this. And they answer this in

00:18:20 --> 00:18:24

books such as Joe, Joe heed, and they say that

00:18:25 --> 00:18:30

Allah Who Subhana which Allah has bestowed upon the Prophet immense

00:18:30 --> 00:18:36

clay dot immense buckets when in Allah wa Mala Ekata who you saw

00:18:36 --> 00:18:39

Lunarlon maybe you're able Latina Avenue salary with some sneakers

00:18:39 --> 00:18:41

so who's making around the profit three,

00:18:42 --> 00:18:47

three are sending salutations and blessings on Salawat on the

00:18:47 --> 00:18:53

profit. So what is a is a catch all of Rama mercy blessings, love,

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

compassion, everything. World worldly favor, otherworldly favor

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

everything.

00:18:58 --> 00:19:02

But they're all different. The Salah of Allah on the messenger is

00:19:02 --> 00:19:05

all his giving to His Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa salam, the

00:19:05 --> 00:19:11

salah of the angels is adding blessings and prayer for the

00:19:11 --> 00:19:14

messengers of Allah when he was setting them and our Salah on the

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

prophet is taking from that blessing all right a Salah two min

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

Allah He am dead. It's it's it's it's a giving was Salah to Mina,

00:19:25 --> 00:19:29

the hours lots of the prophets I send them is just him dead, we are

00:19:29 --> 00:19:32

taking from that blessing. So when we make a lot on the province,

00:19:32 --> 00:19:36

Eisen and we are essentially saying, We are with you, and we

00:19:36 --> 00:19:40

love you. And this is the length of the word that Allah told taught

00:19:40 --> 00:19:44

us to express that love and therefore we are taking from the

00:19:44 --> 00:19:48

blessings that Allah has sent upon His messenger. Okay, that's the

00:19:48 --> 00:19:50

answer to that. Okay.

00:19:52 --> 00:19:53

That's the answer to that.

00:19:56 --> 00:19:58

to help you come to a decision through dreams? Yes and no, it's

00:22:40 --> 00:22:45

not going to be the main source of a decision. It's going to be the

00:22:45 --> 00:22:49

confirmation of a decision you've already made by worldly matters,

00:22:49 --> 00:22:53

like by worldly decision making. If you know what I mean, right?

00:22:53 --> 00:22:57

You're going to make a decision with through your mind through

00:22:57 --> 00:23:02

consultation and the dream would be like a confirmation. You don't

00:23:02 --> 00:23:03

Everyone's a producer.

You have to kind of do it yourself, right? I know, your team

00:24:44 --> 00:24:47

that we're just here trying to figure it out by myself. I'm just

00:24:47 --> 00:24:50

like, What do before this

00:24:51 --> 00:24:55

was a lot, learning how to put cameras up and it's not something

00:24:55 --> 00:24:59

I knew how to do. And it was always frustrating. That's why our

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

livestream was on

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

it off and on and off. But now that we have a crew that may Allah

00:25:03 --> 00:25:07

reward them. We're on all the time. And we're happy to have you.

00:25:16 --> 00:25:16

together.

00:25:18 --> 00:25:22

So why don't we start first by Bismillah then stood on the

00:25:22 --> 00:25:24

Prophet and I'm gonna ask you a little bit about yourself.

00:25:28 --> 00:25:31

Alhamdulillah wa Salatu was Salam ala Rasulillah

00:25:33 --> 00:25:34

Allahumma salli

00:25:35 --> 00:25:36

00:25:38 --> 00:25:42

some ala Sayidina Muhammad later how do we manage we could have

00:25:42 --> 00:25:47

some target age, which will never be a hostile wave Cisco command

00:25:47 --> 00:25:51

will be wretched kitty while he was so I have used alongside Yeah,

00:25:51 --> 00:25:53

let's say the number homogenized feta Hedeman overlap will refer to

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

a sub

00:25:57 --> 00:26:01

D, you know, sit on thinking step in. So Allahu alayhi wa ala. And

00:26:01 --> 00:26:07

he was he had capacity. He, daddy and all the ladies and gentlemen,

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

we have a guest today who has an author of the book. First we're

00:26:11 --> 00:26:15

going to talk about himself some bio, a lot of biographical

00:26:15 --> 00:26:19

questions. So for example, I lived in London, where do you live in

00:26:19 --> 00:26:24

London? I live in Camden in London I currently live in Oh, yes. We

00:26:24 --> 00:26:29

talked about that. Yes, yeah, I'm from Camden. Camden. So you grew

00:26:29 --> 00:26:33

up and you became a Muslim? Were you born Muslim? So I became

00:26:33 --> 00:26:40

Muslim. I became Muslim at the age of 1313. That's young. So tell us

00:26:40 --> 00:26:43

about that. What were you thinking about? I was just thinking about

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

traveling back to so I used to travel back to The Gambia where my

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

grandmother's from with my grandma and her side of the family. And I

00:26:51 --> 00:26:54

witnessed that everybody in Gambia essentially is Muslim, Gambia is

00:26:54 --> 00:26:58

over 90 something percent Muslim, but my family came from a

00:26:58 --> 00:27:01

Christian minority. And so I was wondering, Why is everybody in my

00:27:01 --> 00:27:05

country Muslim, started doing research, realize the influence

00:27:05 --> 00:27:09

that West Islam had in West Africa, realize the history of how

00:27:09 --> 00:27:13

Christianity and West Africa compared the two, compare the two

00:27:13 --> 00:27:17

ideologies at a young age and decided that being Muslim makes

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

more sense to me than being Christians, I decided to switch.

00:27:21 --> 00:27:25

Okay, so a lot of 13 year olds, they do stuff that bothers our

00:27:25 --> 00:27:30

parents. Not all of them change religions. Yeah. That was number

00:27:30 --> 00:27:34

one, a very mature thing for you to be thinking that way at that

00:27:34 --> 00:27:38

age. Not a lot of people think about that at that age. But also

00:27:38 --> 00:27:42

at the same time, you're still under your parents roof. Right? So

00:27:43 --> 00:27:47

that must have elicited a reaction from them. Yeah, Subhan Allah. So

00:27:47 --> 00:27:51

the thing with my parents is Oh, with my, I've worked with my

00:27:51 --> 00:27:53

mother and my grandmother and essentially with them, because

00:27:53 --> 00:27:57

they grew up in Gambia, they were used to Muslims. So for them in

00:27:57 --> 00:27:59

the beginning, it was more just about okay, well, what kind of

00:27:59 --> 00:28:01

Muslim? Is he? Is he the ones that's gonna try and blow up

00:28:01 --> 00:28:06

buildings? Or is he the one that we grew up with that do vicar and

00:28:06 --> 00:28:10

you know, our peaceful folk. So when they realized that in the

00:28:10 --> 00:28:13

beginning, it was a bit of a challenge. But after a while, when

00:28:13 --> 00:28:16

they realized who my teachers were, who might show you who I

00:28:16 --> 00:28:19

was, you know, people who they hadn't they know what they grew up

00:28:19 --> 00:28:22

seeing, then they were more comfortable with the idea of me

00:28:22 --> 00:28:24

being Muslim, and they kind of just thought it was gonna be a

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

phase. I was young, I was 13. So that, okay, he stopped eating

00:28:28 --> 00:28:30

pork. He says he's Muslim, let's see how long this lasts kind of

00:28:30 --> 00:28:35

thing. And it's still they still going on how the phase has

00:28:35 --> 00:28:36

continued. So

00:28:38 --> 00:28:41

now, here's a question for you. Christians. Are they like

00:28:41 --> 00:28:45

Baptists? They're not. They're no Baptist. Baptists are starting

00:28:45 --> 00:28:49

now. But traditionally, most Gambian Christians are either

00:28:49 --> 00:28:54

Anglican, Methodist, or Catholic, because those were the different

00:28:54 --> 00:28:58

missionary churches that came in during colonization. So for my

00:28:58 --> 00:29:02

family, they're Methodist because the school that they attended with

00:29:02 --> 00:29:06

the Methodist school and you know, they were they had that

00:29:06 --> 00:29:10

interaction with the Methodist Mission. So my grandmother grew up

00:29:10 --> 00:29:14

Methodist. My mom grew up Methodist. They went to Methodist,

00:29:14 --> 00:29:20

Methodist them Junior School, etc. And yeah, okay, so the method is

00:29:20 --> 00:29:25

that they're not like the Baptist and that they're, like, really, I

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

should say, passionate about, you know, the religion and they really

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

view the Muslims as taken away through us.

00:29:32 --> 00:29:34

Because that's how it is here. Okay. Now in the Gambia. It's not

00:29:34 --> 00:29:37

like that at all. In the Gambia. The Methodists are very

00:29:37 --> 00:29:41

traditional, they're very, they're not they don't see Muslims as a

00:29:41 --> 00:29:44

threat because there's not really a large conversion of people to

00:29:44 --> 00:29:48

Islam in the Gambia except when it comes to like marriage. So you see

00:29:48 --> 00:29:51

a lot of messages women for example, with my Muslim men and

00:29:51 --> 00:29:55

then become, or like my uncle is one case where he was a Methodist

00:29:55 --> 00:29:59

man he wanted to marry him Muslim woman so he became Muslim. But the

00:29:59 --> 00:29:59

religious

00:30:00 --> 00:30:03

tension that exists in a lot of countries, especially other West

00:30:03 --> 00:30:07

African countries, doesn't exist in the Gambia, which is, you know,

00:30:07 --> 00:30:10

very surprising. Everybody is super peaceful with each other.

00:30:10 --> 00:30:14

Everybody loves each other. Everybody, you know, like, they

00:30:14 --> 00:30:18

all grew up together so they don't have that kind of Christian versus

00:30:18 --> 00:30:22

Muslim mentality is it's more like a It's Christmas. Let's go to our

00:30:22 --> 00:30:25

Christian friend's house and celebrate is eat let's go to our

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

Muslim friends house and celebrate mentality. Okay, so it's fluid in

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

that respect. Yeah, very fluid. Okay, so let's take this next

00:30:34 --> 00:30:39

step. You come back to England? How does a 13 year old? And what

00:30:39 --> 00:30:43

year are we talking that there's internet? Information from there?

00:30:43 --> 00:30:47

Yes. So 2007 was when I took shahada.

00:30:48 --> 00:30:52

There's not a lot of stuff on the internet at that time. No, no,

00:30:52 --> 00:30:54

there's no Safina society or

00:30:59 --> 00:31:03

you could be high school listening to some music podcasts getting

00:31:03 --> 00:31:05

jacked up. Exactly. Exactly.

00:31:06 --> 00:31:09

So how did you learn like how did you go about this? You didn't have

00:31:09 --> 00:31:10

a car. But you know what hasn't gone?

00:31:13 --> 00:31:17

Jumping on the tube anyway. So essentially, what's interesting

00:31:17 --> 00:31:21

is, so I took shahada with the grandson of Sheikh Ibrahim Yes,

00:31:21 --> 00:31:26

initially, yeah, my aunt Gambia, no. So in the UK, so they used to

00:31:26 --> 00:31:29

come and visit the UK, they had a large community, they still have a

00:31:29 --> 00:31:33

large community there. So the person that I had initial contact

00:31:33 --> 00:31:36

with him share has and CC and he was the one that connected me with

00:31:36 --> 00:31:39

his younger brother shake my he says they wouldn't shake my hand

00:31:39 --> 00:31:42

since they came to England. I took shahada with him, and then I took

00:31:42 --> 00:31:42

take.

00:31:44 --> 00:31:47

So what happened is they have a niece that lives in England, her

00:31:47 --> 00:31:52

name was Scheffer, Aisha CJ, and she had a params school. So when I

00:31:52 --> 00:31:56

was about 1415, I got sent to that kind of school at all. I didn't

00:31:56 --> 00:32:00

get sent, I started doing myself. And she was essentially my first

00:32:00 --> 00:32:03

like, person to person, teacher, obviously, I'd read all of the

00:32:03 --> 00:32:07

pamphlets. I had done the you know, the internet, Islam, the

00:32:07 --> 00:32:11

prophets, prayer describes, etc. But the first kind of in house

00:32:11 --> 00:32:14

teachers that I had, according to you know, the traditional Sitting

00:32:14 --> 00:32:18

at the feet of a scholar. It was at the feet of this woman who came

00:32:18 --> 00:32:21

from a lineage of hundreds of years of scholarship in West

00:32:21 --> 00:32:24

Africa. She had memorized the Quran when she was about 12 or 13.

00:32:24 --> 00:32:28

She had studied Malachy face with her father, she has studied

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

ahaadeeth She studied, you know, back home in Mumbai. And it was

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

her that taught me you know, Alice

00:32:34 --> 00:32:38

and taught me my initial alphabet. So, you know, I remember as a man

00:32:38 --> 00:32:41

a few other things. Is that nice?

00:32:42 --> 00:32:45

Is that you smoke? No, no.

00:32:50 --> 00:32:54

I my initial studies were with her and her husband in branch. GRAEME

00:32:54 --> 00:32:58

Killian, yes, was also a dis relative of sugar. He's a great

00:32:58 --> 00:33:01

grandson of Sheikh Ibrahim through his mother. And so yeah, both of

00:33:01 --> 00:33:05

them were my first teachers. And then from there, you know, I kept

00:33:05 --> 00:33:08

on studying and continuing the tradition. Okay, good. So if

00:33:08 --> 00:33:13

you're, if you're listening, or watching from London, where's

00:33:13 --> 00:33:16

their center so that people can benefit from so they are in Luton

00:33:16 --> 00:33:21

and their center is called Datto kitab. Will hikma? Yeah, yeah.

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

Then leads us I used to jump on the train. Yeah, I live in Kentish

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

town. So there was a direct train to Lutens I would jump on the

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

train half an hour every weekend. There and Back or head down. Get

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

the get the train. Yeah. Okay, good. So you started

00:33:40 --> 00:33:42

with them and they're still active. They're, they're still

00:33:42 --> 00:33:46

active day. Yeah, they established the school a couple of years ago.

00:33:51 --> 00:33:55

All right. So you start studying, tell me where you can travel to

00:33:55 --> 00:33:58

Senegal and the Gambia? Yes, I start to travel to Senegal and the

00:33:58 --> 00:34:01

Gambia around 2009.

00:34:03 --> 00:34:06

So like with the intention of visiting the shoes and benefiting

00:34:06 --> 00:34:10

from them 2009. And from then I was going kind of every year,

00:34:10 --> 00:34:15

every summer every like vacation, every time I had an opportunity. I

00:34:15 --> 00:34:18

would try and be the admin the same time as well as the sons of

00:34:18 --> 00:34:21

Chef invited me as one of the sons of Chef, Chef Mohammed Al McKee

00:34:21 --> 00:34:25

would always visit the UK for like two, three months at a time. So I

00:34:25 --> 00:34:28

would always be spending time with him during treatment, you know,

00:34:28 --> 00:34:32

learning from him taking from him. And then when it came time for me

00:34:32 --> 00:34:37

to go to college, that was when I really took things seriously. So I

00:34:37 --> 00:34:42

I was able to go to Mauritania for just under a year and study with

00:34:42 --> 00:34:45

the community out there. I was able to go to Senegal, the Gambia

00:34:45 --> 00:34:49

for a couple of months and take take benefit. And I was doing that

00:34:49 --> 00:34:53

all throughout my college degree as well as you know, studying what

00:34:53 --> 00:34:54

I could in the UK.

00:34:56 --> 00:34:59

And Italian was the shift there. So there was a few

00:35:00 --> 00:35:04

But the main chef of the village where I was his co chair Jose, and

00:35:04 --> 00:35:08

he has his older brothers cdmo handy and hosted mohammedia here.

00:35:08 --> 00:35:11

So stairs, Mohammed Yeah, he is in charge of teaching order Mattoon

00:35:12 --> 00:35:15

and everything to do with language and he's a language specialist,

00:35:15 --> 00:35:18

but he teaches everything else he has. He runs the mother,

00:35:18 --> 00:35:22

essentially. And then his younger brother CD, Mohammed is in charge

00:35:22 --> 00:35:24

of, you know, the spiritual things. So he's study like the

00:35:24 --> 00:35:29

souls and how high IQ and all of those kind of things with him. And

00:35:29 --> 00:35:33

then, yeah, and then other communities are Yeah, yeah. So

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

they were students are shuffled around, yes, but then returning

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

and they come from a tribe without Ali who are surefire. They're

00:35:39 --> 00:35:40

descended from the prophets of Salaam.

00:35:41 --> 00:35:45

And they were, you know, Allah, Ma, his great grandfather, but Da

00:35:45 --> 00:35:49

Vinci, the Buddha was, you know, the Khalifa of Sheikh Mohammed

00:35:49 --> 00:35:55

Hafeez Shem Titi. And, you know, they came from a large tradition

00:35:55 --> 00:36:00

of scholarship. And then in the 30s 40s 50s, they started to

00:36:00 --> 00:36:03

travel to Senegal and take from Shanghai, Crimea. So they had all

00:36:03 --> 00:36:08

kind of studied or benefited from this directly, but they are, you

00:36:08 --> 00:36:09

know, Mediterranean 100%.

00:36:11 --> 00:36:14

Okay, there's also to Jenny, in Egypt.

00:36:15 --> 00:36:18

Is there a connection between them? Are they like, have like

00:36:18 --> 00:36:21

good relations, they have very good relations. So you mentioned

00:36:21 --> 00:36:26

Iran, yes. Used to travel to Egypt in the 60s. And so those main

00:36:26 --> 00:36:30

shape that was the chef al hadith of Al Assad, his name was Sheikh

00:36:30 --> 00:36:33

Mohammed Hafeez and mystery. Associate reminescent. Chef,

00:36:33 --> 00:36:37

Mohammed Hafeez. They were both very good friends. They used to,

00:36:37 --> 00:36:40

you know, correspond very well. Chateau Brahim would visit him

00:36:40 --> 00:36:43

anytime we went to Egypt. And Mohammed hashes and Shakib Rahim

00:36:43 --> 00:36:47

both have ages at from CDF Mr. haylage, who was one of the main

00:36:47 --> 00:36:51

you know, Alumni Affairs cdmo survey village, took from Sidi

00:36:51 --> 00:36:55

Ahmed Abdullah, we need to proceed Alia tommasini we took from the

00:36:55 --> 00:36:59

tyranny. So there Silsila and the Senate cannot connect there.

00:37:03 --> 00:37:07

anymore. And now you're in Egypt. Yeah. Now, in contrast,

00:37:08 --> 00:37:11

the Compare and contrast is like Egypt, there's electricity,

00:37:11 --> 00:37:16

there's walls this is you know, you live in the modern world. What

00:37:16 --> 00:37:19

is very, is very much like sand and houses.

00:37:20 --> 00:37:24

Tell me how you're tolerating the first thing to environment in

00:37:24 --> 00:37:27

Mauritania, physically? Secondly,

00:37:28 --> 00:37:31

the actual, the people of Egypt are not easy.

00:37:34 --> 00:37:38

To deal with, especially Cairo, Everyone is struggling. Everyone's

00:37:38 --> 00:37:41

aggressive. Everyone's annoyed. Right? It's not easy to deal with

00:37:41 --> 00:37:44

the people of Cairo. So I'm glad you're at full liberty to talk

00:37:44 --> 00:37:47

because you're Egyptian. So you know, you could get away with it.

00:37:50 --> 00:37:53

Ya know, honestly, it's not, it's not easy. But I would say this is

00:37:53 --> 00:37:56

one of the best periods of my life. And that wouldn't be

00:37:56 --> 00:37:59

anywhere else I would have preferred to be, especially at

00:37:59 --> 00:38:03

this age in my 20s. This is the this is the place hamdulillah it

00:38:03 --> 00:38:07

takes adjusting to. But I feel as though the secret in that is, you

00:38:07 --> 00:38:11

know, the tarbiyah that you get in dealing with people. It's very

00:38:11 --> 00:38:17

easy to study books that tell you how to have more trouble, be like

00:38:17 --> 00:38:19

this, be like that. And then you live in a comfortable environment

00:38:19 --> 00:38:24

where those things are not tested. But when you study, for example,

00:38:25 --> 00:38:28

the last 30 books, and then you go out into the world and you have to

00:38:28 --> 00:38:32

deal with the Uber drivers with the taxi drivers, and the chaotic

00:38:32 --> 00:38:35

environment and all these things that puts the, it puts all of that

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

into practice. And I feel as though Egypt is a very special and

00:38:38 --> 00:38:44

sacred land. If we look at the stories of the Allameh I mean, the

00:38:44 --> 00:38:48

stories of the NBS, sorry, most of the unabIe mentioned in the Quran

00:38:48 --> 00:38:51

had spent time in Egypt. And then if you look at the stories of a

00:38:51 --> 00:38:55

lot of the alumni, especially the OLA miles or so, most of them as

00:38:55 --> 00:38:58

well have passed time in Egypt. So I remember one of my skullet one

00:38:58 --> 00:39:02

of my teachers in Senegal used to say nobody's Wilaya is complete

00:39:02 --> 00:39:04

until they spend time in Egypt

00:39:06 --> 00:39:08

of the Ummah they all spent time in Egypt see this?

00:39:10 --> 00:39:15

In my shed the least when time here Mr. Rifai, I will Abbas mercy

00:39:16 --> 00:39:19

happy to teach me you know, he spent a couple of years here all

00:39:19 --> 00:39:22

of them pass through here the same way if we looked at the NBA

00:39:23 --> 00:39:26

Sayidina Idris according to some narrations say do not Ebrahim

00:39:26 --> 00:39:31

definitely we know spend time here see do not use of NC deny Yahoo

00:39:31 --> 00:39:33

because his father came on Jain brothers.

00:39:34 --> 00:39:37

Let's say that it's hard to say and say do not use of

00:39:38 --> 00:39:43

pseudonym Musa etc. A lot of these MVR pass through here. And now we

00:39:43 --> 00:39:46

also have a lot of Elevate here as well, depending on the reports

00:39:46 --> 00:39:50

that you leave, either the domestics reports for the care

00:39:50 --> 00:39:54

reports where we have a lot of the grandchildren of the provinces and

00:39:54 --> 00:39:56

buried here. So it's a blessed land is

00:39:58 --> 00:39:59

mentioned in your plan.

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

Hello, obviously Allah manifests His blessings through Shakur,

00:40:04 --> 00:40:08

Allah German, also sobre la jolla. None of that is manifest here. You

00:40:08 --> 00:40:09

know, I haven't been

00:40:12 --> 00:40:15

okay. So you studied there, you studied here and then you wrote a

00:40:15 --> 00:40:16

book? Yeah.

00:40:19 --> 00:40:21

I love the way job. It's like okay

00:40:25 --> 00:40:28

well, yeah, the trajectory was essentially I studied.

00:40:29 --> 00:40:33

I did. My bachelor's degree at Westminster University was Arabic

00:40:33 --> 00:40:36

and international relations. And that's my dissertation focused on

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

Arabic literature and literacy in West Africa. After that, I did my

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

masters at so as, and then after that, I've come here now to Egypt.

00:40:45 --> 00:40:49

And throughout that time, I had been giving presentations on the

00:40:49 --> 00:40:52

relationship between blackness and Islam, black history in the Quran,

00:40:52 --> 00:40:55

black history around the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam

00:40:55 --> 00:40:58

history of Islam in West Africa, all of those things. And I had a

00:40:58 --> 00:41:02

presentation at a lecture series called Beyond beloved, which I've

00:41:02 --> 00:41:05

been giving for the past three to four years. I started in

00:41:05 --> 00:41:08

2018 1718.

00:41:09 --> 00:41:12

Everyone's saying my voice is tight enough, my apologies.

00:41:13 --> 00:41:14

Yeah.

00:41:15 --> 00:41:18

It's a little bit different. Yeah, maybe maybe it's their thing.

00:41:19 --> 00:41:22

Yeah, everyone's saying it. So they're sort of most of the

00:41:25 --> 00:41:25

weekend.

00:41:26 --> 00:41:31

And so, after a while, every time I gave the lecture, and I managed,

00:41:31 --> 00:41:35

I've been invited to mashallah so many mshs across so many different

00:41:35 --> 00:41:39

universities have done the lecture at Yale have done it at Harvard,

00:41:39 --> 00:41:43

I've done it at, you know, NYU at Columbia, I did that so many

00:41:43 --> 00:41:47

places. And a lot of the students were asking if this was in a book

00:41:47 --> 00:41:50

form, or if they could get it in a book, or if I could send them the

00:41:50 --> 00:41:54

slides, etc. So I decided last year to turn the presentation into

00:41:54 --> 00:41:57

a book so that it would be available and the information will

00:41:57 --> 00:41:58

be easily accessible.

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

Okay, good. So it's it's mainly a book of biographies, right? It's

00:42:05 --> 00:42:12

by microphones. Yes. Kind of about half of Yeah. Okay, good. Now,

00:42:12 --> 00:42:16

you're taking this book and you're teaching, or you're you were

00:42:16 --> 00:42:17

lecturing about it?

00:42:18 --> 00:42:23

Did you Finn is your tour over there? So more? So the tours over

00:42:23 --> 00:42:26

the toggle cut short, because I had to come back to Egypt and do

00:42:26 --> 00:42:30

some do a tour here. I was hosting some people and I forgot about it.

00:42:30 --> 00:42:34

But essentially, I did the six week book tour started in New York

00:42:34 --> 00:42:39

ended in Detroit and Atlanta, which is where we met. And yeah,

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

hamdulillah it's been lecturing. It's been a mixture of lecturing

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

and touring. That's good. So now as an author, as somebody's you're

00:42:46 --> 00:42:50

studying, I guess you're studying with the different shift Posey

00:42:50 --> 00:42:51

shift?

00:42:55 --> 00:42:58

Study, which I haven't studied with them in a minute, but

00:43:01 --> 00:43:05

it's so my main teachers here are there's a teacher called shabdrung

00:43:05 --> 00:43:10

Emanuel. And he's from Mauritania, but he's doing his PhD as I study

00:43:10 --> 00:43:14

and memorize different material with him. And then I was studying

00:43:14 --> 00:43:18

which makes me sad as well studying like language. Look, I

00:43:18 --> 00:43:22

with him. Then I attended during this hadith, etc. I'm about to

00:43:22 --> 00:43:27

start again with Chef alchemy Suleiman, who was teaching in

00:43:27 --> 00:43:29

Daraa. Mustafa, I think you might have met him out there. He

00:43:29 --> 00:43:33

studied, he was teaching a hadith and things from there. So he's

00:43:33 --> 00:43:38

coming to Egypt. And so he's about to start his program here. And

00:43:38 --> 00:43:41

then as well as that during the regular as her program.

00:43:42 --> 00:43:45

Okay, so then what's your future? When you go back? Are you Oh,

00:43:47 --> 00:43:48

I haven't planned it. Well, I haven't planned

00:43:49 --> 00:43:51

to go back and be a big deal. You know,

00:43:52 --> 00:43:56

most of Hannah law I that was never the plan in the first place.

00:43:56 --> 00:44:01

My plan was just to first my family and my mom's side are

00:44:01 --> 00:44:06

diplomats, a lot of them. And so my initial plan was to just study

00:44:06 --> 00:44:09

international relations, and then go into diplomacy or go into the

00:44:09 --> 00:44:13

third sector. That was my original goal. And then in university, I

00:44:13 --> 00:44:16

kind of changed my mind. Initially, initially, I wanted to

00:44:16 --> 00:44:20

be an investment banker, that was my first first thing when I was in

00:44:20 --> 00:44:23

high school, then the plan changed. And then I was gonna go

00:44:23 --> 00:44:26

into diplomacy, I was gonna go into international relations, or

00:44:26 --> 00:44:31

the third sector work for the UN or something. And then as my time

00:44:31 --> 00:44:34

in university was coming to an end, I switched and I said, I want

00:44:34 --> 00:44:38

to be a translator, which is why I did the master's degree in

00:44:38 --> 00:44:42

translation. And then I came to Egypt to study and just for

00:44:42 --> 00:44:46

personal, like, my personal development, I wanted to

00:44:47 --> 00:44:50

understand the deen that I was practicing properly. I wanted to

00:44:50 --> 00:44:54

study all over the globe, just so that I could have that information

00:44:54 --> 00:44:58

as a Muslim, but I didn't plan on doing anything with it. But then

00:44:58 --> 00:44:59

the whole public speaking thing and

00:45:00 --> 00:45:05

Book and everything, it was like, Allah kind of the request of

00:45:05 --> 00:45:10

people. And so for me, I only responded in figma to people and

00:45:10 --> 00:45:12

in order to, you know, provide the services that people were

00:45:12 --> 00:45:16

requesting of me. And then like, fast forward, I'm blinking. And

00:45:16 --> 00:45:19

then now I'm on, you know, Instagram Live with Dr. Shadi

00:45:19 --> 00:45:20

mystery.

00:45:22 --> 00:45:26

Here's, here's the thing you may have just want for yourself, but

00:45:26 --> 00:45:30

you have DEVAR, right now, you have a product right now. And

00:45:30 --> 00:45:34

there's a lot of people thirsty for that product, and you have a

00:45:34 --> 00:45:37

converts experience, the amount of conversion that's going on in

00:45:37 --> 00:45:40

Europe right now. And England in particular,

00:45:42 --> 00:45:46

people are needed, there's manpower is really in demand. And

00:45:46 --> 00:45:47

people are really needed

00:45:49 --> 00:45:53

to be individual personal, you know, help. Even if you go out and

00:45:53 --> 00:45:57

become a banker or become a some other form of millionaire, I'll

00:45:57 --> 00:45:58

give you the tofield

00:46:01 --> 00:46:01

that I've studied,

00:46:03 --> 00:46:06

people are gonna come to you, whether you know it or not,

00:46:06 --> 00:46:10

whether you choose it or not. Because in the way this dowel

00:46:10 --> 00:46:12

works, is from an article.

00:46:14 --> 00:46:17

There was a day one time he was a teacher teaching the basic modules

00:46:17 --> 00:46:20

in law, as you know, most of people don't teach them when a

00:46:20 --> 00:46:24

young man came up to him. And he said, after, are you so and so?

00:46:25 --> 00:46:30

said, Yeah, I'm so and so. Right. So he said, last night, I saw an

00:46:30 --> 00:46:34

angel in a dream study, I saw an angel and dream tobiko study with

00:46:34 --> 00:46:40

someone so. So it's you, if you have a big law, you have the

00:46:40 --> 00:46:42

people will send you the deed, that's why

00:46:43 --> 00:46:44

that's

00:46:45 --> 00:46:49

the right thing, if you're doing the right thing that Allah will

00:46:49 --> 00:46:52

send you, people. That's really how it works. And that's probably

00:46:52 --> 00:46:55

much what you should expect once you get back to England, because

00:46:55 --> 00:46:58

you don't realize the NEMA of all this classes that you're able to

00:46:58 --> 00:46:59

take,

00:47:00 --> 00:47:03

you know, in Egypt, back in my day, this thing, it didn't really

00:47:03 --> 00:47:09

exist. We couldn't communicate with the world, over the Atlantic

00:47:09 --> 00:47:11

or Arab countries, and discover what

00:47:12 --> 00:47:15

we couldn't discover, to communicate with scholars on what

00:47:16 --> 00:47:17

the schools did not

00:47:19 --> 00:47:21

only way the briefings was to

00:47:23 --> 00:47:24

get last

00:47:25 --> 00:47:25

weekend.

00:47:27 --> 00:47:27

So you learned

00:47:30 --> 00:47:32

it was really hard. But

00:47:35 --> 00:47:36

how old are you when

00:47:37 --> 00:47:39

I'm not that old, but the technology's

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

crazy.

00:47:45 --> 00:47:45

And you can

00:47:47 --> 00:47:48

most of

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

the

00:47:53 --> 00:47:55

books were not available

00:47:56 --> 00:48:00

10 years ago, you got a couple of most of them.

00:48:02 --> 00:48:07

Know, within such a short time, the entire tour off of like Islam

00:48:08 --> 00:48:12

is on an mcsa.org Like, there's more than you'll ever finish in

00:48:12 --> 00:48:17

your entire life won't be the amount of PDFs that you will never

00:48:17 --> 00:48:17

find.

00:48:19 --> 00:48:20

And this is almost like Burlington.

00:48:22 --> 00:48:24

Right? That's someone who's

00:48:25 --> 00:48:26

going

00:48:27 --> 00:48:27

to talk to

00:48:29 --> 00:48:31

abroad was something that required

00:48:32 --> 00:48:33

you to call.

00:48:34 --> 00:48:36

You had to scream, screaming on the

00:48:38 --> 00:48:44

right. stuff doesn't happen now. on WhatsApp, we're a little bit

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

younger.

00:48:47 --> 00:48:48

It's such a different world.

00:48:51 --> 00:48:54

And people are going to need this knowledge. Because even when

00:48:54 --> 00:48:56

people studied back in the day, and they came back to their

00:48:56 --> 00:48:59

country, there was only like a handful of Muslims to serve.

00:49:00 --> 00:49:05

Right? And now there were 10s of Muslims to serve. So when you get

00:49:05 --> 00:49:07

back do you have a clue? Are you going to be moving to Canada?

00:49:09 --> 00:49:14

I have no idea honestly, this like what I find amazing and what you

00:49:14 --> 00:49:18

were explaining earlier, as well as the fact that sometimes for all

00:49:18 --> 00:49:21

the time Allah is the one that plans and Allah is the one that

00:49:21 --> 00:49:26

facilitates and moves to pieces. So for me, like even when I've

00:49:26 --> 00:49:29

started doing you know, this tower that I'm doing classes that I'm

00:49:29 --> 00:49:32

teaching, I have more cool and I have more requests to teach in

00:49:32 --> 00:49:34

America than I do in the UK.

00:49:37 --> 00:49:40

I have no idea. Because America is bigger, there's more people to

00:49:40 --> 00:49:44

request. But I've done more work in America and I traveled to

00:49:44 --> 00:49:48

America more frequently than I do the UK like if you think about it,

00:49:48 --> 00:49:52

I haven't really done a UK tour. But America just impromptu I went

00:49:52 --> 00:49:55

for one event and I ended up staying for six weeks doing an

00:49:55 --> 00:49:59

event which almost today mind doing an event with shape image

00:49:59 --> 00:49:59

shape web doing

00:50:00 --> 00:50:03

An event with all of these, you know, the caliber of the, you

00:50:03 --> 00:50:07

know, the art in America, about the themes of this book, I went to

00:50:07 --> 00:50:11

about 10 Different places over six weeks, I met with about 20

00:50:11 --> 00:50:16

different. And I was still getting requests to do more events. I just

00:50:16 --> 00:50:19

had to cut it short to come back to Egypt. So I feel as though my

00:50:19 --> 00:50:22

future might even be in America more than it might be in the UK.

00:50:26 --> 00:50:29

I've an American wife, so Oh, really, from where she from LA,

00:50:30 --> 00:50:31

LA. That's

00:50:34 --> 00:50:38

gorgeous. My father was the director of type of foundation. He

00:50:38 --> 00:50:43

works with Shahabi. And so his name is that a body of desire? And

00:50:44 --> 00:50:45

yeah, like I have.

00:50:47 --> 00:50:52

He's his wife, his mother B. He's, he's African American. Okay. So

00:50:52 --> 00:50:53

LA, it's a gorgeous city.

00:50:54 --> 00:50:58

I pass through, I've never been to LA, but I've been to San Diego,

00:50:58 --> 00:51:01

and they told me la is like, the city version. But it's still got

00:51:01 --> 00:51:06

the same weather, etc, etc. But we've been to LA. I've never been

00:51:06 --> 00:51:10

to LA. I haven't never had the occasion to go to LA. But official

00:51:10 --> 00:51:13

invitation. Yeah. Well, when you're there, I'll come down. I'll

00:51:13 --> 00:51:15

have a reason to come down. Question for you.

00:51:17 --> 00:51:22

In London, it changed a lot from when I was. When I was in London.

00:51:23 --> 00:51:24

There was there were

00:51:25 --> 00:51:30

gatherings of traditional listener scholarship, every day of the

00:51:30 --> 00:51:35

week. Every, every day, there was a Malaysian ship. He had Monday.

00:51:35 --> 00:51:38

There was an East African ships Bebek rematch, right. He had

00:51:38 --> 00:51:41

Thursday night shift, but because to Danny,

00:51:42 --> 00:51:43

sorry, I'm in Abu Bakar.

00:51:44 --> 00:51:48

Because Danny, he had Saturday night. It says if they sort of it

00:51:48 --> 00:51:52

just happened that they each reserve a night. Right? There were

00:51:52 --> 00:51:56

seven days a week. But I heard my friends told me it's all none of

00:51:56 --> 00:52:00

that exists anymore. And it's all hardcore. Salafi, or liberal.

00:52:00 --> 00:52:04

Either way, is that? Yeah. I mean, I Yeah, the way that you're

00:52:04 --> 00:52:07

describing London is completely different from the London I grew

00:52:07 --> 00:52:09

up only kind of traditional scholarship that I remember,

00:52:10 --> 00:52:13

growing up was shattered by because with any

00:52:14 --> 00:52:19

tools other than him. I mean, I heard about other things going on,

00:52:19 --> 00:52:22

but I never attended. But the way you're saying that there was a

00:52:22 --> 00:52:25

different thing every day. That was something I never experienced.

00:52:25 --> 00:52:29

Sounds amazing. No, it wasn't. It was an amazing time. Like we were

00:52:29 --> 00:52:33

literally every single day, there could have been something that you

00:52:33 --> 00:52:34

attend.

00:52:36 --> 00:52:38

But I heard that my friends when I went back after like 10 years.

00:52:39 --> 00:52:44

It's all gone. And it's a very hard, tough environment, where

00:52:44 --> 00:52:48

it's a lot of fighting between liberals and Salafi. So

00:52:49 --> 00:52:53

is that actually actually the case? I haven't been in England, I

00:52:53 --> 00:52:56

haven't lived there for about three years. So I can't even

00:52:56 --> 00:53:00

really tell you if that's the case or not. But from what I remember,

00:53:00 --> 00:53:04

that seems to be the case because I don't remember any blues like

00:53:04 --> 00:53:08

classical Islamic scholarship or traditional scholarship happening

00:53:08 --> 00:53:11

especially every day of the week. I know Shabaab. And I think as

00:53:11 --> 00:53:14

well. A lot of it depends on the area that you live in.

00:53:15 --> 00:53:18

So me being in Camden, it was central London in central London,

00:53:18 --> 00:53:21

it was only kind of barbecued doing anything. I hear about

00:53:21 --> 00:53:26

things in West London or East London, but with the our travel

00:53:26 --> 00:53:29

time, it would be something I wouldn't know about. So, for

00:53:29 --> 00:53:32

example, there's a lot of traditional scholarship there. A

00:53:32 --> 00:53:34

lot of doodles are happening, a lot of things are going on.

00:53:35 --> 00:53:37

There's the CEI as well as somebody in the comments

00:53:37 --> 00:53:42

mentioned, check out mad sad, was also teaching when I was young. He

00:53:42 --> 00:53:45

was in Finsbury Park mosque, and he would have gruesome halacha

00:53:45 --> 00:53:50

every Friday, and every Monday and then when he transferred promised

00:53:50 --> 00:53:54

the mosque as well. So yeah, and then yeah, she was in Cambridge as

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

well as

00:53:58 --> 00:54:01

the Spark Spark was

00:54:05 --> 00:54:06

to visit and he was

00:54:08 --> 00:54:12

at the friend's house, all the all the people would come he created.

00:54:13 --> 00:54:16

Our I remember friend's house I never got to see Sheikh Hamza

00:54:16 --> 00:54:20

there but I got to see Habib Ali Giuffre there, and Abdullah Kimura

00:54:20 --> 00:54:20

and a few others

00:54:22 --> 00:54:23

and kabbani

00:54:25 --> 00:54:27

and it was also

00:54:30 --> 00:54:31

referred to

00:54:32 --> 00:54:35

in Hounslow used to bring Sheikh Mohammed

00:54:36 --> 00:54:40

he used to bring sometimes it was sure comes to shake. I was happy

00:54:40 --> 00:54:43

about it. It was so many shields in Hounslow and Chip Muhammad did

00:54:43 --> 00:54:47

a study. He would they would study, literally like

00:54:48 --> 00:54:52

two days straight. You'd go in Friday night, and you would spend

00:54:52 --> 00:54:57

48 hours. So by Sunday afternoon you'd leave and you know how it is

00:54:57 --> 00:54:59

with Sheikh Mohammed. You don't know

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

When you don't get breaks, right, he was hardcore. But we would go

00:55:05 --> 00:55:11

we would leave like as if someone powered you up right and maybe go

00:55:11 --> 00:55:11

back

00:55:17 --> 00:55:18

and then the visit

00:55:19 --> 00:55:20

was working organized.

00:55:21 --> 00:55:21

The

00:55:23 --> 00:55:24

radical middle

00:55:27 --> 00:55:27

for

00:55:31 --> 00:55:31

those

00:55:33 --> 00:55:35

and then it all just fizzles out

00:55:37 --> 00:55:39

do you gotta go revive it?

00:55:42 --> 00:55:44

Unless you go to Hollywood

00:55:47 --> 00:55:51

take me then I'll be in the UK. Yeah. First we're gonna go to LA

00:55:51 --> 00:55:54

get the sun get Hollywood. You know what I could not go back to

00:55:54 --> 00:55:58

England because I'm addicted to the sun. Right? I think I'm solar

00:55:58 --> 00:56:03

powered as a person, right? Go out there in England, and it's just

00:56:03 --> 00:56:07

gray I think 87% of the time

00:56:10 --> 00:56:12

that's why you want to send me that?

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

There

00:56:16 --> 00:56:21

UFCU mama honestly, the weather. Yeah, I don't want to complain.

00:56:21 --> 00:56:26

Well, yeah. You You said you said everything would wake up. Like I

00:56:26 --> 00:56:32

wake up now. And what starts your day? You put the blinds up and the

00:56:32 --> 00:56:37

sun's out. Right? You just immediately kick started. You wake

00:56:37 --> 00:56:41

up and you wake up. And you look out the window hoping for some

00:56:41 --> 00:56:45

sun. It's cloudy. All day is gonna be

00:56:47 --> 00:56:49

next day, next day. Next day is

00:56:50 --> 00:56:50

coming.

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

For you, I think maybe because you you had come in from America, you

00:56:56 --> 00:57:01

kind of had expectation before us. In the in London. We know like the

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

sun is only for July and

00:57:03 --> 00:57:07

every other time of the year. It's great. You have your tracks on

00:57:08 --> 00:57:08

your

00:57:10 --> 00:57:15

tracks. Oh my gosh, it all started in England. Yes. That's in

00:57:15 --> 00:57:20

tracksuits and expensive sneakers. Yeah, look is here now with the

00:57:20 --> 00:57:22

brim cap. And then like

00:57:23 --> 00:57:24

I noted, you notice that

00:57:26 --> 00:57:29

the most expensive thing he's wearing he's wearing? Yeah, I

00:57:29 --> 00:57:32

noticed that actually. And the little type of sports pouch.

00:57:35 --> 00:57:38

So all that style came here when it came here, we were like, Oh, we

00:57:38 --> 00:57:42

know this. Yeah, I know a few of your students that just like that.

00:57:44 --> 00:57:46

hosted me in New Jersey. Yeah.

00:57:50 --> 00:57:53

So what's one lesson that you could share with our audience

00:57:53 --> 00:57:55

about later in this event, which is tomorrow.

00:57:56 --> 00:58:01

So it is the night in which Allah forgives the sins of everybody who

00:58:01 --> 00:58:05

worships him, except for those who have rancor in their hearts. And I

00:58:05 --> 00:58:08

feel as though that is the most important message and the most

00:58:08 --> 00:58:11

important thing we need to focus on. When it comes to the 15th of

00:58:11 --> 00:58:16

Shabbat. Most of us can perfect outward worship,

00:58:17 --> 00:58:21

for a lot of us find trouble in trying to perfect spiritual space.

00:58:22 --> 00:58:25

And the spiritual state is the most important aspects of

00:58:26 --> 00:58:31

physical activity. So if we think about for example, the fact that

00:58:31 --> 00:58:34

Allah tells us and sort of be in the middle in any

00:58:37 --> 00:58:38

way you came up

00:58:39 --> 00:58:40

was Erica dini.

00:58:42 --> 00:58:44

Let me I forgot what that sound is.

00:58:49 --> 00:58:50

Yeah, well, that.

00:58:51 --> 00:58:57

That that is the religion. Allah tells us that the worship, he

00:58:57 --> 00:59:00

makes an ishara about the fact that the worship is based on the

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

spiritual state to make the deen purely for the sake of Allah

00:59:03 --> 00:59:07

subhanaw taala to purify that inward and then manifest it

00:59:07 --> 00:59:12

through it kind of Salah what it is. elsewhere as well. We know

00:59:12 --> 00:59:16

that Allah tells us in the Quran, yo Malayan from Allah, Lebanon

00:59:16 --> 00:59:20

laminata Allah Tobin Salim on Yom Okayama. The only benefit that

00:59:20 --> 00:59:24

will grant us the success that you're looking for in the asset is

00:59:24 --> 00:59:28

having a sound heart. We have had the two could see where we see for

00:59:28 --> 00:59:31

example, the first people to enter Johanna will be the reciting of

00:59:31 --> 00:59:36

the Quran recited for re our schema to be seen and to be heard

00:59:36 --> 00:59:41

by people. I'm not pleased to be. The person who gave Sen enters the

00:59:41 --> 00:59:44

Hellfire because they did their actions for the sake of people and

00:59:44 --> 00:59:50

notoriety and not for the sake of Allah. The person fought Jihad and

00:59:50 --> 00:59:54

was killed in the process. Allah Subhan Allah the flora of the

00:59:54 --> 00:59:58

actions were correct, but the manner the spiritual reality of

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

the action was made though

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

actions, take them to the health layer and not take them into the

01:00:03 --> 01:00:06

pleasure of Allah subhanaw taala. So with that if we reflect upon

01:00:06 --> 01:00:10

it, then the spiritual state is the most important aspect of our

01:00:10 --> 01:00:14

religion and the most important aspects of practice. And it's

01:00:14 --> 01:00:18

manifested through obviously, take making sure all of our actions are

01:00:18 --> 01:00:21

in line with the actions of the Prophet sallallahu wasallam as

01:00:21 --> 01:00:25

Allah tells us, pull in control to him when Allah azza wa jal Kamala,

01:00:25 --> 01:00:29

if you truly love Allah, then follow me. Follow the Prophet

01:00:29 --> 01:00:32

sallallahu wasallam. And Allah will love you. If that is the

01:00:32 --> 01:00:37

case, Laila to Mr. Sharp and gives us the opportunity to look into

01:00:37 --> 01:00:42

our hearts and to see if we still have kept hatred, if we still have

01:00:42 --> 01:00:46

hazard envy if we still have all of the spiritual diseases that can

01:00:46 --> 01:00:50

cause us and cause our actions to be rejected in the header of

01:00:50 --> 01:00:54

Allah, terracotta Allah. And that is the most important thing

01:00:54 --> 01:00:57

because the real judgment and the real acceptance is the judgment of

01:00:57 --> 01:00:59

the Asherah and the judgment of the baton. It's not the judgment

01:00:59 --> 01:01:04

of this world, the men African who are in the lowest levels of

01:01:04 --> 01:01:07

hellfire, according to the Sharia could not be punished. And

01:01:07 --> 01:01:09

according to the Sharia, they were Muslim, they all said like,

01:01:11 --> 01:01:13

they will break the law when it came time for it, okay.

01:01:15 --> 01:01:18

But Allah describes them as being in the lowest levels of the

01:01:18 --> 01:01:21

Hellfire, the only difference between them and the movement is,

01:01:22 --> 01:01:23

is their spiritual state.

01:01:24 --> 01:01:27

And so the knowledge of Teskey or the knowledge of purifying the

01:01:27 --> 01:01:31

heart and the knowledge of maraca, looking at our inward states,

01:01:31 --> 01:01:35

looking at how we look at others, looking at our relationship with

01:01:35 --> 01:01:39

the rest of the Ummah and with the rest of creation, and purifying

01:01:39 --> 01:01:42

our hearts is the most important aspect. And so witnesses Shaban,

01:01:42 --> 01:01:45

we have an opportunity to make sure that we're amongst those who

01:01:45 --> 01:01:49

are trying or striving at least, to be amongst those people whose

01:01:49 --> 01:01:53

inwards appeal and that purity of the inward manifests in the

01:01:53 --> 01:01:58

outward, those who whose Well, in line with that well of the Prophet

01:01:58 --> 01:02:03

sallallahu wasallam. And so the male and the upwell come into line

01:02:03 --> 01:02:06

with the Amal and the upwell of the Prophet sallallahu wasallam.

01:02:06 --> 01:02:10

And so yeah, the inward and the outward, the combination of the

01:02:10 --> 01:02:14

two, that is the aim of the religion, the inward giving,

01:02:14 --> 01:02:17

having more weight in the Presence of Allah than the outward because

01:02:17 --> 01:02:20

we know Allah tells us all the profit centers and Hadith that

01:02:20 --> 01:02:24

Allah doesn't look at your outward forms, but he looks at the state

01:02:24 --> 01:02:28

of your hearts. So Mr. Shaban is a time for us to review the state of

01:02:28 --> 01:02:35

our hearts and see if we have that poison within us that can cause a

01:02:35 --> 01:02:39

bad and I am to be rejected. That was the same poison that shaytan

01:02:39 --> 01:02:43

had. It was his hatred for food and I had which it was a

01:02:43 --> 01:02:50

manifestation of his lack of faith and his lack of acceptance of the

01:02:50 --> 01:02:54

Tada of Allah subhanaw taala that causes a brother and his ilk to be

01:02:54 --> 01:02:59

rejected shaytan nobody had more abandon him, there is not a place

01:02:59 --> 01:03:02

in the earth on the face of the earth in which shaytan did not

01:03:02 --> 01:03:06

make sujood to Allah subhanho wa Taala shaitan no one had more ill

01:03:06 --> 01:03:09

than him to the point that some reports state that he used to

01:03:09 --> 01:03:11

teach them alayka so

01:03:13 --> 01:03:13

check,

01:03:14 --> 01:03:18

check, but because of the state of his heart, and the jealousy he had

01:03:18 --> 01:03:22

towards Adam, and the keeper that he had the spiritual diseases that

01:03:22 --> 01:03:26

caused his Ibadah and his ill to be rejected. So for us we don't

01:03:26 --> 01:03:31

even have a bad and who don't even have ill. If we have sick hearts

01:03:31 --> 01:03:36

on top of that, then there's no there's no safety for us. So is

01:03:36 --> 01:03:39

the importance of also as well the forgiveness of Allah subhanaw

01:03:39 --> 01:03:43

taala so this night inshallah coming tomorrow night we pray that

01:03:43 --> 01:03:48

Allah accepts worship, Allah accepts our repentance and Allah

01:03:48 --> 01:03:52

purifies our hearts so that we can be accepted in His presence and in

01:03:52 --> 01:03:54

the presence of His beloved salah.

01:03:58 --> 01:04:01

A beautiful commentary and a

01:04:02 --> 01:04:03

muted

01:04:06 --> 01:04:07

my mic was muted here

01:04:13 --> 01:04:17

what's up Han Allah is beautiful commentary. And that's exactly

01:04:19 --> 01:04:20

livestream that we're doing

01:04:21 --> 01:04:25

all that we want to do is strengthen each other in the deen.

01:04:26 --> 01:04:30

That's all we want to do is just strengthen each other in the deen

01:04:30 --> 01:04:35

and talk about matters of Deen. That's all that matters to us. And

01:04:35 --> 01:04:38

then we just want to do it in a way that's sort of easy to

01:04:38 --> 01:04:42

swallow. Right easy to come down. And then for those who are just

01:04:42 --> 01:04:46

learning, those are my favorite people. You know, people ask them

01:04:46 --> 01:04:50

questions like What is next for Shabbat? What does it mean sort of

01:04:50 --> 01:04:53

what's on the prophets? I said, those are the people it's like a

01:04:53 --> 01:04:56

company if you get in on the ground and you buy stock on the

01:04:56 --> 01:05:00

ground, you get all the results and all the rewards right from

01:05:00 --> 01:05:03

that person later or from that company later on, likewise, if you

01:05:03 --> 01:05:08

can ever get to one person who's just starting, and you explain

01:05:08 --> 01:05:12

these fundamentals to them, all of the bad that they do later on in

01:05:12 --> 01:05:16

life, you're gonna have a share in that stock and that reward, right.

01:05:16 --> 01:05:19

And to me, one of the most inspirational things to look at is

01:05:19 --> 01:05:22

seeing someone who's transforming their lives, and seeing someone

01:05:22 --> 01:05:26

who sort of may be down in a rut. And then they they want to get

01:05:26 --> 01:05:29

back, they're searching for something they want to get out of

01:05:29 --> 01:05:32

the situation that they're in, and they want to move on. And that's

01:05:32 --> 01:05:35

the type of person that our whole organization and this livestream

01:05:35 --> 01:05:39

in particular, is meant for is meant to target that type of

01:05:39 --> 01:05:43

person. And we say, this is what we got. And one of the best things

01:05:43 --> 01:05:47

that we have is the concept of that certain times are blessed.

01:05:48 --> 01:05:51

And certain times, if you put in the effort in that time, it's as

01:05:51 --> 01:05:54

if you put, you know, 1000 times the effort, and we know that it's

01:05:54 --> 01:05:57

hard to resist as if it's 1000 nights

01:05:58 --> 01:06:00

later sort of cluttered as if

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

it's just as if, you know, like, what did they counted at four

01:06:04 --> 01:06:08

years? 1000 months, right? I think they counted at four years if you

01:06:08 --> 01:06:10

count it all together, lower Laylat in this room and Shaban is

01:06:10 --> 01:06:14

the second greatest night after let's look at that according to

01:06:14 --> 01:06:16

some of that hadith of the prophets, I send them that it's

01:06:16 --> 01:06:21

even that Eid of angels. Okay, so that's what we're here for. And we

01:06:21 --> 01:06:26

think that Mustafa breaks are coming on to our program, and

01:06:26 --> 01:06:29

everyone here I think there is a lot of supportive comments and

01:06:30 --> 01:06:34

uplifting and positive comments from people on Instagram, YouTube,

01:06:34 --> 01:06:37

and Facebook hamdulillah and I have to ask you one more thing,

01:06:37 --> 01:06:42

where can people get your book so you can order the book on

01:06:42 --> 01:06:47

www.un villa.com/the book, and it will be available on Amazon in

01:06:47 --> 01:06:52

about a week or so we're just working on fulfilling all of the

01:06:52 --> 01:06:55

pre orders and then once all of the pre orders have arrived to the

01:06:55 --> 01:06:58

locations it will be available for public purchase, but if you order

01:06:58 --> 01:07:02

from the website www.pm biller.com/the book, you'll

01:07:02 --> 01:07:07

be able to get your copy inshallah. Okay, great. So go to

01:07:07 --> 01:07:10

beyond bilal.com right if you could take that in and

01:07:22 --> 01:07:27

read it because a lot of people need to read what's in there and

01:07:27 --> 01:07:31

get confidence and see that how vast they're Dinas right, it's not

01:07:31 --> 01:07:35

limited to any one culture. It's Feds its vast and where it spread,

01:07:35 --> 01:07:39

takes roots and takes roots in the form of that culture and that

01:07:39 --> 01:07:44

fruit that comes out is going to be unique to anywhere else in the

01:07:44 --> 01:07:48

world. So any other culture in the world so we ask Allah subhana wa

01:07:48 --> 01:07:51

Tada to accept from us and to accept the efforts of our hosts

01:07:52 --> 01:07:54

and our brother Mustafa brigs. Inshallah, next time you are in

01:07:54 --> 01:07:55

the area.

01:07:56 --> 01:07:59

Charlie, give us a ring and we'll hang out again and we'll do this

01:07:59 --> 01:08:01

in person inshallah Todd. Definitely.

01:08:06 --> 01:08:07

So chronic Hola, como como

01:08:12 --> 01:08:17

in Santa Fe, Casa Illa Latina. And Ramona sila heard what it was. So

01:08:17 --> 01:08:21

Bill, Huck, what's up? So Sabra was set up on a camera from salon

01:08:21 --> 01:08:26

some of you had asked if they could just wait five minutes after

01:08:26 --> 01:08:29

the interview was over. So we'll do that we could do you know, a

01:08:29 --> 01:08:33

couple of comments that you will have for a few minutes after this

01:08:33 --> 01:08:36

interview is over. But for now, thank Mustafa breaks his ankle

01:08:36 --> 01:08:40

again for coming and Sharla. We will see you again soon, sooner

01:08:40 --> 01:08:40

than later.

01:08:49 --> 01:08:51

All right, folks. So I think the only issue we had is that

01:08:53 --> 01:08:56

is he needed headphones. That's why we had the feedback because he

01:08:56 --> 01:09:00

was going with his phone and with his computer. And that's what was

01:09:00 --> 01:09:02

causing the interference. So he just needed headphones. But that's

01:09:02 --> 01:09:05

it next time. We'll figure that out. And so I'll let John. So a

01:09:05 --> 01:09:08

couple questions. Can we talk at the end of the session, we'll

01:09:08 --> 01:09:12

let's talk for about 510 minutes, we can take q&a for 510 minutes,

01:09:12 --> 01:09:13

and then we'll head off after that.

01:09:15 --> 01:09:19

Okay, talk to me. How do we sense a lot on the Prophet? This is a

01:09:19 --> 01:09:23

question I will answer every single time 10 times a day if I

01:09:23 --> 01:09:28

have to answer that because if we can, Allah has honored us to show

01:09:28 --> 01:09:30

people how to send Salah on the messenger piece. That's an honor

01:09:30 --> 01:09:34

for us. If people stop asking that question, I'll get upset. The

01:09:34 --> 01:09:37

answer to the question is quite simply, are we using this by the

01:09:37 --> 01:09:37

way?

01:09:39 --> 01:09:42

The answer to this question is quite simply,

01:09:43 --> 01:09:47

that you start you can make salon the profit with any expression

01:09:47 --> 01:09:52

that says Salah and salam upon him. Allahumma salli wa salam ala

01:09:53 --> 01:09:57

that's the shortest and easiest expression of Salah and Salam on

01:09:57 --> 01:10:00

the messenger Allahumma salli wa salam

01:10:00 --> 01:10:04

Literally, that's it. And you have to do a lot of a lot of this in

01:10:04 --> 01:10:09

order to feel its benefits and its blessings a lot. Like hundreds

01:10:09 --> 01:10:11

1000s. Okay.

01:10:13 --> 01:10:18

And I want to point everyone to that last week's podcast or this

01:10:18 --> 01:10:23

week's podcast, which is up now, on the power of Mr. Shaban with I

01:10:23 --> 01:10:26

read, there's always a book that I go through every year. And this

01:10:26 --> 01:10:27

book has basically about

01:10:29 --> 01:10:33

we went over maybe 10 20% of it. This on the podcast and we talked

01:10:33 --> 01:10:37

about a lot of other things. Alright, so Ryan, any questions

01:10:37 --> 01:10:37

before we wrap up?

01:10:39 --> 01:10:42

So far? It says what about Adi salatu? was salam Yes, that is a

01:10:43 --> 01:10:45

salah upon the messenger, no doubt about it.

01:10:48 --> 01:10:54

01:10:55 --> 01:10:58

furnace food and Shaban saying something like Oh ALLAH if you

01:10:58 --> 01:11:03

wrote me as wretched without sustenance, etc. And change me to

01:11:03 --> 01:11:08

be salaried. Yes. And that definitely is it is Do I have it

01:11:08 --> 01:11:12

01:14:10 --> 01:14:15

and mukarram in the middle of the night of Chavez and mukarram

01:14:17 --> 01:14:21

and Letty eufora, Kofi Kulu Ramadan Hakeem in which all wise

01:14:21 --> 01:14:23

affairs are,

01:14:24 --> 01:14:30

are decided, Okay you fed up with via Kulu Amblin Hakeem while you

01:14:30 --> 01:14:34

Grom and tech Shiva and mineral Bella, relieve us from the trials,

01:14:34 --> 01:14:37

Myrna Allahu Allah and Merlin and what we know and what we don't

01:14:37 --> 01:14:42

know when to be Adam and what you know, in Nikka entail as well

01:14:42 --> 01:14:44

Akram, you are the most noble and you are the most generous with

01:14:44 --> 01:14:49

solo at us in them Hamid while early he was me, he was salam. And

01:14:49 --> 01:14:54

I have said earlier about this, that it is found in the Sunnah of

01:14:54 --> 01:14:59

Ibn Abee Shaybah Allah Lama, the teacher of Imam Musa

01:15:00 --> 01:15:03

then the great scholar and the great narrator of Hadith,

01:15:05 --> 01:15:11

Ibn Abi Shaybah. He narrates this in the Muslim Nef. Okay.

01:15:13 --> 01:15:18

So that's the answer to that question and how this mess of Mr.

01:15:18 --> 01:15:23

Chavez is an important mess that has basis with the sahaba. And

01:15:23 --> 01:15:27

with the early modernity, so look up the dua of Abdullah bin Masood

01:15:27 --> 01:15:30

for Laylat and mistreatment, Chavez and repeat it often and

01:15:30 --> 01:15:34

mingle it with your own personal idea, and your own personal
