Good. Yeah, we're gonna finish this today
alright just
Smilla Rahmanir Rahim Al hamdu lillah wa Salatu was Salam ala
Rasulillah. Who either early here or somebody here woman. Well,
welcome to number fax. Let's
give it a second while everyone logs on. And we could talk
actually, I think I was slightly crooked.
figure things out first let's test out for Instagram is can you hear
Ryan speak? Testing?
Did y'all just hear that?
Because somebody, some generous soul bought us a splitter.
And we can split the mic out of the phone. So I got one and
Brian's got one. So whoever that splitter was, thank you very much
for getting us that splitter. Allah reward you.
So you guys heard Ryan crisply and clearly, so we don't no longer
have to.
We no longer have to repeat the questions. I mean, we're advancing
every day, little advancements.
Hey, the whole thing is slanted like that.
We should I think
you just adjust the phone itself. Maybe? Yeah, like that. There you
go.
All right. So we have no shirt says yes, the car aristocrat and
I, Bessie. He also says yes, we can hear him just fine. So that's
awesome. We don't longer have
to repeat everything.
All right, so how was your weekend?
You all busy with the following with, with these people what they
did to Imran Khan.
Imran Khan is Pakistan, Prime Minister, Pakistan. So here's my
thing. And this isn't like some of this is this is after, you know
how I don't like getting into the weeds of anything. Here's my
philosophy on politics. So number one, just because you support
somebody doesn't mean isn't or you want them to succeed, it doesn't
mean that that's an endorsement. It doesn't mean I know everything
that they're doing. And it doesn't mean that, like, everything that
they do is, you know, something I support. It's a general, this is
who I prefer to win over someone else. That's number one. Number
two, my philosophy and politics. All politics is the lesser of two
evils. Like 99% of it's the lesser of two evils. So doesn't
necessarily mean that what this person is doing is even good, but
it's the lesser of two evils. Right.
Number three,
I'm going to look at
where his victory and success from, from our theology, we can't
separate politics from theology, victory and success is from Allah.
So I'm going to go with the person who respects that, who respects
Allah His messenger.
That's what I'm going to go with, right, more so than who's got the
best strategy, who's got the best Bauer PowerPoint, by the way, all
these governments, you know, this firm McKinsey is doing everything
for them. All these third world governments, I don't even know if
that's political term anymore. Third World countries, developing
countries, even Saudi, their their vision 2020. It's McKenzie.
It's a bunch of people who couldn't care less, making these
PowerPoints for them, and slides and presentations and budgets.
Right. So that's what's going on. And that's my philosophy on on
politics is just those three things. That number one, all
politics is the lesser of two evils. Number two, just because I
want I say that I want someone to when I support them, doesn't mean
I'm actually endorsing every single thing that they say. Right?
Because I don't you don't know what they're doing. I don't know
what they're doing. They're also nobody, I don't think in the world
of politics. There's this philosophy that I believe that you
come across, I'm sure. So many lies are told it's literally
impossible. To know the truth. Right? There's so many lies have
been told in both directions. So that's one thing. Next thing is
that
so so you're endorsing someone doesn't mean like I'm supporting
every single thing that they say.
Or sponsoring it or believing in it. It's just He's better, less
evil or less problematic than the other guy. And then the third
thing is that I'm gonna go if it's Muslims, I'm gonna go with the guy
who respects Allah respects along his messenger Seisen. Even if I
don't agree with anything else, he says, right. Because what's
because that's the first principle. What's the point of
agreeing with somebody who's we agree on our third tertiary
principles, but our first principle we just
agreeing, what's the point of that? Right? There's no way to go
forward. So I agree with the first principle, would somebody have
gotten his profits I sent him and this is the generally you have to
respect that. Right. That's the first principle. So that to me
outweighs all the secondary and tertiary ones. Right. Secondly,
too bad for Pakistan because they really had some really good PR
with this with it with this guy. They had some good PR. I mean,
he's a winner at everything. He's done. He's won, right? He's one of
those guys that you would
you're gonna go to war. Look at the other guys, the fools and
stooge looking like type of guys that ousted him. They're inspired
by that? I don't think so. So, I usually don't really take a
position on politics, but in this case, based on these three simple
principles on
we just try to adjust that. Instagram. What do you see how
it's like slanted still like this? It's like, lift the the phone
itself. See if the phone itself is?
Yeah, your right hand up and left down? Yeah, there you go. Boom.
The Wizard of Oz.
Are we ready to go? Right? Yeah. So we have someone's asking for
devices in his grandmother's only last breaths, grandmothers on
their last breaths. May Allah subhana which
give regenitive for the dose number one, you should be very
happy that Allah has chosen to her in this month of Ramadan.
And hopefully, she can. If she if she You're saying she's the last
breath, maybe Thursday night Friday,
be a burial on a Friday or a death on a Friday. I mean, he's saying
it's just she's on her last breath. So it's almost as if it's
a done deal. But anytime Ramadan, specifically on a Friday, that is
a blessed, blessed death. So you should be happy for your
grandmother.
If that's the case, and I was just thinking Subhanallah I think about
some people like why is it the Ramadan death is so special. The
Friday death is so special, the 10 days of the hija death is so
special. Some people they Allah has not made their virtue known to
the, to the OMA to the community, in their life, they've been hidden
their whole life. So Allah makes them known in their death
by causing them to die at a certain time that you say to
yourself this this has to be right somehow last last year, there was
a man died in the community that nobody we all know him, but nobody
thought anything of him in terms of like anything special. And he
died really young. Because of Corona. He died on a Friday in
Ramadan from the Coronavirus. And you know that all the folklore has
said that Coronavirus falls into the category of the plague,
contagion and plague and their martyrs Shahadat as a prophesy
centum said Subhanallah Corona death on a Friday in the month of
Ramadan, and his mother was there weeping over him in other words,
his mother was pleased with him What else can you want? So if that
person in his regular life lived a type of life that gotten no
attention
from the community as as as virtue, but the way he died, Allah
made his himself known, or that person known.
Alright, let's begin now and what do we say is our first partner I?
Okay, Mecca books. Let's begin with a word from our partners.
Mecca books is our first partner and you can get a lot of good
books from Mecca books, and you can get shawls, you can get other
things from Mecca books, and one of the books that I want to get
myself is signs on the horizons. I have a copy. I had to give it back
to its owner. But I read half of that book signs on the horizons of
book of odf. Basically stories of the odia Okay, and it's basically
a British as the British or American. I think he's an American
actually, he's an American, American man, he lives now in
England, and he became Muslims with the hippies, you know, the,
during that hippie movement, and a lot of the hippies
and before them, Beatniks beatniks were basically communists, they
all went to Tangiers, and they were doing drugs, and they were
doing all sorts of stuff. But some of these guys ended up going into
Islam, or becoming Muslim. And he's one of them. And they
traveled around Morocco. And then he ended up living like 10 years,
20 years in Saudi so and then he writes this book, so Mecca books
is the first place you want to go for all these types of books.
We're gonna get a book list. I mean, can we should give us a pile
of books that we should go through every year. It'll be our content
too.
So second thing professors want
to one, you want to get involved with professors one to one because
if you need tutoring, let's say you're a mom listening to this
podcast and your son just keeps coming home with CS, CS CS, what
is wrong with you? While you're getting C's? You're not studying
hard enough. You need to study. Okay? So
you need to study. But sometimes people just don't get the concept.
There are too many subjects in school these days, right? So
professors one to one gives you that extra concentration, there's
too many subjects. This can only be three, four subjects at a time,
block education, right? And then expand the year Why take these
long three month vacation? What am I going to do with them for three
months? Right? What are they going to do forget everything. So go to
school for less time, less time in the day, less subjects, spread it
all out, take more vacation days, any excuse you get, get a day off,
get rested up. But eliminate the summer vacation thing, make it
like, okay, maximum three weeks, three weeks vacation. So take a
family trip, one week to unwind one week, family trip one week to
get ready again. And then change teachers or whatever like that. So
dude, that's how education really should be. That's the revolution
in the calendar. And then this this idea when I look at my kids
schedules, seven subjects, how the heck you can remember it and
remember anything, right? So you need professors once one.com to
solve your problem, right, and this guy, either he does solve
problems is all his students, they all go to great scores, MCAT LSAT,
blah, blah, blah,
next gen for nursing, right next scale, I always pronounced it
wrong. And lastly, ArcView.
pre recorded virtual classes were back in action in May, in the
third week of May. But we have virtual is the term now for live
online. Instead of saying live online, it's clumsy, they use word
virtual, right. So when we say the word virtual, it means live. And
you could talk and you could give comments, etc. And then secondly,
the there are pre recorded classes, the classes that we've
had in the past the classes that we've had, that were just totally
pre recorded, we have over 60 Now, the thing is, keeps growing and
growing. And the student body keeps growing and growing. And so
every day I see new students registering, and you get on the
WhatsApp and that's how we stay in communication. And people have
really learned a lot just, you know, because now we have a good
four or five years of experience with ArcView. So
get on to my art view dot O R G and sign up and
and also go get yourself professors one to one tutoring. If
you're not getting good grades, if you're getting good grades, stop
getting good grades, and sign up for Professor 120 one.com. All
right, one to one. All right, let's take this question before we
go to the end part of students and Nasir got
that join us for life as we did have we're gonna do the other
half. Okay, behind B.
I don't know if she's behind, but her name is Bobby. It says Do you
consider shear to be Muslim? Personally, each individual
character can be considered Muslim and alone as best Allah is the
judge. But what's your insight? So when it comes to sincerity, we say
Allah is the judge. We can't judge people's hearts. But when it comes
to doctrines, we can doctrine as a stated belief, we can compare that
with the Quran. Compare that with the Hadith. And there are two
categories, or three categories. There's what is if an ibis termed
as sunnah Gemma, which is essentially a what is the
explicitly mentioned in the Quran and Hadith that the Muslim accepts
that I believed in everything explicitly meant, or or
explicitly, explicitly means cannot be confused. There's no
confusion in it. All right. It this is what it means. And we have
submitted to that. That's what we call, we have accepted that as our
belief. And if so, don't jump out. There second category. Now, there
are certain things that are explicit, but not widespread.
They're explicit, but they're not widespread. Like not a lot of
people would know it unless you research it. So if you reject
something from that,
and then you're informed Wait, the Quran says this, because, right
What is Islam other than what the Quran says and what the Prophet
says? So it's explicit, like it's clear as day and you still are
rejecting it.
Then that week, the Quran, the Sahaba, they deemed and the
prophesy said that category to be innovators. They are Muslims, but
they're innovators. Well, what's the problem with that? Their deeds
are not accepted. And when they reach the prophet at his fountain,
the Prophet himself says, Come Muslims, I can see that they're
Muslims. But an angel then comes at no they altered the religion
after you. What did they alter it that which x is explicit in the
Quran or the Hadith? They rejected it.
And so therefore, the Prophet says becomes angry with them says Go
away, go away, go away. Good.
And then there's a third category of people who are saying that
they're Muslims, but they have rejected what is explicit and
widespread.
And that's a very short list of things for example, that there are
five prayers a day that hajj happens in Mecca that Ramadan is a
month of fasting that the prophet is alas messenger things that are
very, we call these things known in religion by necessity and one
of the markers the characteristics of this this list any 10 year old
Muslim will know it right if you hang out with if you lived with
Muslims just by living with Muslims, you will know it so it's
called Al maloom minute deen the Berurah also known as baroody
Knowledge Okay, something that you would have to know you can't not
know this if you want to convert becomes a Muslim. He becomes a
Muslims with a with a mindset that this is what Islam is. It's this
religion where I can't drink. I can't eat pork. I can't FortiGate
right. I have there's five prayers. There's a month of
fasting there's a pilgrimage, right? The Muhammad is the last
prophet there's one God is fundamentals. So if a Muslim
rejects that, but says I'm still a Muslim, like who the * awaits?
We call that Xindian and they're not Muslim. There's indeed because
not a Muslim. He's claiming to be Muslim, but he's not a Muslim. The
apostate is different than apostate is telling you right off
the bat, I'm not a Muslim. Right. So that's monitored. Okay, and
that's the worst category. So that's where we have a sunnah will
Gemma which is submitting to Islam as exactly what the Quran said and
what the Prophet said in terms of what is explicit not what can be
debated. What is in the language of the text explicit and then you
have the innovator is that type of person who is rejecting one of
these like for example
you can't say that say Isha
became like a blasphemer or poor, herself misguided, et cetera, when
the Prophet is so I sent him himself has declared his love for
her. Allah Salah made sure he's innocent. Allah says about a year
guna that you bet, what the bet would have been right? The
wholesome or for the wholesome, is there anyone more wholesome than
the messenger? So I send them and Allah has made say that Isha his
wife and he died while pleased with her. Okay, it's not like that
a divorce that her Eman changed or something like that. And they or
or she was tortured with her or like destroyed with the with the
kofod or something. That's what happened to Prophet and US wife
and Prophet Lot's wife. So there have been prophets who married
women who are hypocrites. But what happened? Those women were
destroyed with the kuffaar. And there were women who married who
were married to caffeine, like who ESEA and frown, but what happened,
found dies with the non believers rejecters of faith. So but how
this never happened would say that Isha the prophesy said them died.
She was not destroyed with the non believers. She did not there was
no divorce. The Prophet died while pleased with her on her lap. You
think Allah would have chosen a woman who is no good for the
Prophet to die and the Prophet is buried in her room.
Now think about this. Allah says about the hippo tells the Prophet
about the hypocrites.
They established the mosque, okay, they established a rival mosque,
in the time of the Prophet to gather and conspire against the
Muslims. Allah says let a comfy EBITDA do not set foot in it.
So Allah does not want the prophets I send them even close
with these hypocrites. And Allah says about the hypocrite Abdullah
and obey even said rude, well tecoma Allah Cobra, don't even
stand in front of his grave to make dua don't even come near him.
Now, do you think that Allah to Allah would say that to the
Prophet about the hypocrites, then allow him to be buried in the home
of a hypocrite, dying on the lap of a hypocrite that's impossible.
So the blaspheming and this the same things about say da Aisha, we
would say, Listen, there is explicit text, you need to stop if
you don't stop your Moqtada you're this middle category between most
of this, practicing your Islam correctly or believing correctly
as a as a Muslim, and being as in deep, and that cat middle category
is called Biddy or Muqtada. innovator. Now, they can go to
Mecca, they can be buried in Muslim graveyard, but we won't do
any worship behind them. We don't believe that their deeds are
accepted.
Why? Because they know Abdullah and Omar was asked about the first
group of innovators. They were the Kadia that they said we don't
believe in divine decree. Everything happens for the first
time, right?
It's not something that's decreed.
And so Abdullah bin Ahmad says, tell them that I'm innocent of
them. In other words I disavow from them and that none of their
deeds are accepted until they believe what is revealed and all
was book properly and holy?
Yeah, you're looking at I'm gonna call a facility Kapha. So behind
me that's the answer to your question. We won't do anything
behind them, we don't believe they're a bad is going to be valid
until they fix those beliefs. Right now what you're saying
implies to sincerity. Sincerity is between you and Allah, I don't
know if you're sincere, you're being hypocrite, but your doctrine
and what you believe you can write down on a piece of paper, and we
could judge that against the Quran. So we can judge that. We
just can't judge a person's, we can't judge anyone's motive. We
don't know your motive. We don't know what's in your heart. So we
just judge by the outside. And we just simply say that this idea is
accepted. And it's not versus not accepted. All right, so now let's
go to this question. I mean, I we have to get to the thing. But
there's a related question, Sunni and Shia? Are you getting married,
I wouldn't advise this unless there, neither of them are
religious. But as soon as one of you, you know, has a reason to
start believing in Allah and fearing Allah. And going that
route, you're gonna have a problem, because you're got two
opposite faiths here.
You got two opposite sources of authority. And you have two
opposite sources of, of knowledge to so our greatest Hadith
transmitters epizoda. Amongst the top five is say, Isha, so you're
rejecting those to
our greatest legislator, after the prophets, I send them in terms of
his fatawa as a Khalifa, because he ruled for 10 years, all his
policies have the edge mount of the Sahaba behind them, right?
said Amen. I'm hooked up. So you reject that, then you have a
bucket acidic. So you have rejected all these. So their
sources of knowledge are going to be totally different. And their
priorities are going to be totally different as a result of that.
So is the marriage valid? Well, it's different upon whether it's
even valid.
It's even different upon whether that's marriage or Zina. It's
different upon by the scholars.
All right, so Well, Starry Night says what's the name I just
mentioned? It's the
signs on the horizon.
And read is asking if I saw the partnership. Yeah, I did see it,
but I didn't have time to read it. I'll read the partnership offer in
a second. Now, let's go back to our a circumstance of Revelation.
What's the circumstance of revelation that came down
regarding sudo apt Innes? And the answer is that and we talked about
Elijah and that sort of lie welfare and we talked for a long
stream on the conquest of Mecca. Now we will talk about the next
idea what I ate the NAS and Hulu and if he didn't Allah He afuera
and you see people entering into the religion of Allah enter the
deen of Allah in droves in waves. And we have two things to say
about it. One is well, how did this verse come about is that
we're what's the actual Tafseer of diverse is that the people said,
If Mohammed, the people around
Mecca, and outside cities, they said, If Mohammed has been given
victory over Mecca, and Allah, these were the protected people of
Allah see the Quran, the Arabs, they, they still had a concept
that there's Allah, but they also worship these other gods. So they
said, if Allah has allowed that, after having only
one, earlier in their lifetime, they had all witnessed if they
were old enough, if they were more than 50 years old, they probably
have a memory of this, or 60 years old, that Allah had brought the
birds to destroy the elephants of Abuja. Abraha was Ethiopian. He's
an East African he conquered. He was a governor of Yemen, and he
decided to build a rival Kava. But a church of an Arab came in
defiled, the church stood on the altar and dedicated and urinated.
So he swore then to destroy the cabin, as you all know, and then
the birds came and pelted his army. So the Arabs viewed Quran as
the protected people of Allah, these gods protected people.
They said, If Muhammad is conquering Mecca, that means it's
there's no one stopping him. Right? No one's gonna stop him.
Because we saw what happens to whoever defiles Mecca. And they
stopped believing that this is a defilement, this must be the truth
of something else. Yeah. One thing because I remember when we were
talking about sort of that, in the previous podcast, one observation
that I had was, you know, this event happened, and for 40 years,
no one took credit for it. You know, because if something
happens, this is something that happens with intention to sound
like birds has come out of the sky. And so when finally, 40 years
later, when the Creator comes and takes credit for it, you should be
able to listen, no one else came. It's certainly true. That's
totally true. Whenever a major event happens, you got to look at
within 30 years, something's got to pop up, like some theory has to
be really credible. And for example, when not
had 11 happen?
Immediately. There's a, there's a benefit to taking credit who
benefits? Ben Latin. He became like viewed as a champion. Of
course, I don't believe it for a second, that the Arabs or the
Afghans had even the capacity to do it. Right. But he took credit
for it. Why? Whatever reason, probably because in the sight of
the other jihadi groups, you're done now, right, you took down,
this is the biggest attack that's ever gonna happen, right? Because
look, when the Muslims actually followed up with it, what did they
follow up with? When they really tried to do attacks? What was the
underwear bomber, the shoe bomber? So you went from 911? Okay, this
biggest criminal act of the century, and then you're gonna
come follow that up with the shoe. And then the underwear and it
failed. Both of them failed. So you don't have the question. But
so he got credit. But secondly, we do have credible theory. And it's
architects and engineers for 911 truth. And I'm telling you that
this has now been in
college textbooks as an alternate theory, like there's the dominant
theory was as the government issued report, but this, the
Controlled Demolition is now in textbooks as alternate theories.
So a theory always pops up. So the idea that nobody took credit for
it, like nobody said, Hey, I'm the one who prayed for it. Like, is
this something you could have? You could have done easily? And nobody
could deny you? Right? So optimal thought it could have said, I
stood up and I prayed for it. He did it. Nobody took credit for it.
Let's take another example of something where
it was, in a sense, nothing replaced it. How about the OJ
Simpson crime? Right? The murders
of his wife, his ex wife and her boyfriend? Well, 30 years past who
did it? So it's got to be him. Right? He was the only one who was
possible, a threat. Or sorry, a suspect. 30 years past since then,
almost. Nobody's taking nobody, there's not even an alternate
theory. So when long time passes, and nobody claims credit for
something. And then finally the credit comes and by the way, when
when Allah has claimed it in the Quran, nobody denied it.
Nobody, there's no reference of the code. I say, No, no, no, it's
not that. So Subhanallah they all knew this is the act of Allah
subhanaw taala. And so they know that this Kava is protected, see
how Allah has set up His Prophet to be an undeniable prophet. Now
when he comes as the conquering army, in Mecca, and there's no
reaction from the heavens, they know for sure that he's a true
prophet. So now they start coming in F wedge and which means tribe
at a time, not one person at a time. As it was in the past, it
was one person at a time, not anymore.
in droves,
one tribe at a time, like 100 people per session, once you head
by a tribal chief, he goes and gives 100 to his to his people. So
that's the first meaning of it. The second thing is that the
messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that
when he saw the tribes coming in, and the people coming in, and the
Muslims getting very happy, he said, Said, who knew and if he
didn't have words, that was a Aquila, junuh men who have wager,
there will also be a time when they leave in droves. And today, I
think is a day in time and an era in which you could reasonably say
that, at any day of the week, somebody is dropping off the radar
of even just practicing the dean, someone's dropping off at every
day, unfortunately, someone's dropping off.
Right?
Someone you know, just checked out. There's always someone taking
off a job leaving Islam Subhanallah them or doing
something so blatantly. You know, inappropriate, you know that there
is a shift and it's not really good to say this, to be honest
with you. But you know, I'm not even gonna say when when when
people do things that are so wrong and they go astray, because it's
it spreads, it puts seeds in people's mind that this is
happening so much. But when you do see it, you know that the Prophet
told us this is gonna happen, that actually increases us. How
brilliant is this? How brilliant is this prophecy? You think, oh,
it's a negative prophecy. It's not negative at all. It's brilliant.
Because now when we see this unfortunate reality we say Winston
The Prophet said this can help your Eman increases. The Quran
says hair them well, then Allah who are soo was Sadhak Allah Hua
Su. This is what Allah and His messenger Prophet prophecy told us
what happened.
And they sold the truth. So you're a man increases that's why signs
at the end of time you have to know them because your Eman will
increase.
Your Eman will increase if you're you're aware of these signs.
Next
prophets I said lump
when the people of Yemen came entirety huge cities entire cities
of Yemen came to give their allegiance to the Prophet
salallahu alayhi wa sallam. He said attack on Al Yemen Adolfo
Leuven, Araku Eden, L II Men, women will HC Maria Maria, this
the Yemenis. They boast that there are 40 Hadith, it's praising
Yemen. Okay. And the people of Yemen All right. Attack Kamala
Yemen, the people of Yemen and Lululemon have come to, to, to
enter Islam. They are the softest they're the weakest of hearts. In
other words, above all kuruva mean here means they're not weak in
their faith or weak in the person. They're easygoing, the most
easygoing people were up to edit and the Most Compassionate
of people at Yemen, Al Eman, we Imani.
Imen is Yemeni? In other words, what does that mean? We can do a
whole shot on this. It means that Amen settles in the heart that
soft.
One of the reasons is the heart that soft is open to listening.
If you're stubborn,
you won't listen.
Stubborn you don't listen. If you're soft, you listen. So when
you listen, you learn. Simple, simple equation. That's the first
thing. Secondly, you don't like conflict. And you don't like Nisa,
and you don't like strife. Eman settles in such a heart and it
leaves the heart that loves fitna
someone who loves drama loves like I you can love excitement.

always busy and exciting. But someone who loves drama loves
fitna Amen leaves that heart. The soft heart doesn't hates fitna the
soft heart is the admits to sense the soft heart is humble. It's
easy to be humble. And Amen settles in such a heart. Steven is

you're arrogant, like a mountain, then you go up to the top of the
mountain there's no pun there. Right Where's the water all the
water is at the bottom right because water settles at the
bottom Amen also settles in the humble heart. It is said that
Allah gaze upon the people of the earth to else to fit down and did
not find any heart more humble than the heart of Musa Subhanallah
that no one was more humble than said mimosa.

that the prophets lifetime is about to come to an end? It's
because soon it's a Baja says, what an extra to Cairo Nakamura
what is to come is always better than what is passed. And the
Prophet himself explicitly said the most beloved city to me is
Mecca.
And the place where I bet is rewarded most is Mecca. Therefore
there can be no success greater than the conquest of Mecca. And
therefore the Prophet Allah will not allow his prophet to have like
a slackening career. You ever see someone who like has an apex and
the last five years of his career is just nothing. Allah would not
allow this for the prophets of Allah what He was telling him. And
by the way, this is a sunnah for the lovers of the messenger. They
will follow his sunnah in this they will not have a slackening
career we have we have anybody well scholarship anything, had a
great career Halifa whatever, but then the last 10 years just
nothing going on. Right? Just all he has is memories of the past.
This is one of the promises if people are devoted to the Sunnah,
that this will not happen to them.

and forth with oh you will believe vs. Two.
So all right remember Monday is open QA and we can go for a little
bit on open QA can we interpret dreams says Shazam con i have some
strange ones I wonder if I should look into these if you find a
righteous and a competent dream interpreter you may do you may ask
them don't try to interpret it yourself because firstly they're
not all dreams are the same. Some of them are true some of them are
mixed up and some of them shaped the mix up once you just leave it
though dream that feels like you're in a movie and all sorts of
dramas happening.
That's just you just leave that aside or the dream that is just
your thoughts.
All right. Okay, sip de Yama up to Atif madness obtain fi module Mani

So,
so you're going to ignore those dreams that are just like long
winded movies. A true dream is something usually short. It's got
symbols in it. It's impossible to forget. And it's easy to dream in
several immediate no these symbols because in the world of dream
interpretation, there are some common symbols.
Could you share some tips for fundraising for a masjid? I really
don't know I don't really do fundraising very well, but put put
forth good programming. And I think nonprofit work is no
different than for profit in the sense that put forth a good
program. A good operation and people will give you people will
pay for a good product, people will fundraise will will donate to
a good operation.
I remember when you mentioned Imam Japhet Assad up he said here's a
banner five times for.to be accepted. Could you tell me which
Tafseer he mentioned this in?
Weird did I read that? He said that.
He based it on the end of Enron because at the end of Enron, it
says it's a dua that begins each door because of a banner and then
a door or a banner or a burner burner five times and then festa
jab Allah who
then Allah it says would then we answered him, we've answered his
dua.
So that's where he got it from. But where did he say that? I can't
remember where I read that, to be honest with you. Unfortunately.
I've stated above and we when he mentions the comb people is you're
referring to people of to soap or another group Shokran. Where is
it?
Young? Mooji? Which Tafseer? Which I have
it as your divorce Pharaoh for abusing her. No, Allah killed him.
Allah killed him. There was no divorce. Allah killed him. Right?
Or maybe that's not the right word to use, but Allah cause him to be
killed.
Luck causing to drowned? Who was finished?
We have to marry someone just because their parents want that.
No, you don't have to. And can parents make an alliance without
talking to or consent of their child? A parent can make they can
make an alliance without talking to their child, it'll be valid.
But eventually if the
that's probably more like something that happens in the old
days where a girl would not know, she would they don't meet, she
wouldn't have met guys, right? In the old days. And they would
arrange marriages. Right. So that was something that it wouldn't be
a valid marriage. But then obviously, the effectiveness of it
validity is not the only thing of whether it's good. Something could
be valid, but it's not good for you. So of course we wouldn't
promote that. But in the Sharia if, if a girl is still she was
never married, she doesn't know.
You know her way around life if he contracted a marriage, that
wouldn't be it wouldn't be a valid marriage. In other words, it's not
Zina, but at the same time
Is that what is advisable in our day and age? Definitely not in our
parts. All right, right. What you got
is can you explain the ruling on women leading prayer in each of
them? I don't know about each of them without him. I could
basically tell you that the chef allows it
that phase allow it. Women leading other women in prayer
about women leading other women in prayer, right. Yeah, women leading
other women in prayer is valid in the Cheviot is not allowed in the
medical method. Because we don't allow anything that didn't happen
in the time of the prophets. I send them the medical shoot.
And so that didn't happen at the time of the prophets I send them
therefore it's it's a non thing women pray by themselves. What
about like there's this thing about like old women in the house
or something leading men?
No women leading men never tapped. Whenever?
Why would you want to do that?
Why would you want to lead a man in prayer and bow in front of him
and prostrate in front of him? Just ask that question.
Is there any evidence of Sufi practice in the Prophet Muhammad's
time and any evidence of his practice in the Quran sunnah in
particular to solve? A vicar essentially is the main thing,
vicar is the main thing. And of course, all the good comes from
the time of the prophesy sentiment from the Quran. And the group that
is also a big part of the public practice of yourself and the
communal practice of DeSoto. And the prophets I said to them, it
did happen in the time of the Prophet peace be upon him at
different times, many different times. In Sahih Bukhari chapter on
the then, if you go to the book of the section on the then, and
you'll see the after the prayer, that the way that the Prophet used
to teach the Sahaba how to do of God is that He would say it out
loud himself, then everyone else would say it out loud. And even
our best narrates to such Hadith that the vicar was be heard
outside the Masjid. So he would hear the testimony of God of the
Sahaba happening, and that's why, even in the remember, in the
humbly school, it's actually been due for there to be some out loud
vicar. It doesn't have, they don't say in unison, they just say in
general out loud, they could after the prayer based upon that, and so
that's really the main thing is the main thing is, is that and, of
course you can find the promotion of the remembrance of Allah is all
over the Quran. And the Sunnah, and doing it aloud happen also be
during Hajj times.
And other other examples like that. So all of those things are
readily present and on ArcView I have the whole course on it. By
the way, I read all of Susie's book with a commentary and a
translation on my arcview.org on the course called remembrance of
death in the remembrance of God. I went through it, read the Hadith
put this Hadees on the screen, and then we translated it and talked
about it and give CLTs commentary too. So remember CLT you get that
course. If you sign up and you watch that course you'll see
everything
right what you got someone Sidra, take it back one step what is a
Sufi? Is it separate from being Sunday? No to so Wolf is a focus
on spirituality. That's what it is. Right? So in the same way that
studying a jurist is someone who focuses on the law, a theologian
focuses on on theology, that to self is a subject in which you
focus on your heart and the purification of your heart and
your advancement in the spiritual levels towards your Creator.
That's essentially what it is. Next
what is the ruling on eating shellfish in the different Is
there any cutter here and the other that have no, the chef very
humbly and medically method they allow you to eat shellfish as much
as you want.
Caitlyn Johansson says what are signs that there's going to be a
job of your anything in particular to look out for yes, that you're
repeating it often, that you're persistent upon it, that you're
nonstop on it, that you refuse to stop. Have a good opinion of
Allah, it's causing you to transform your ways. It's causing
you to change essentially, you're getting better. And there's a
subpoena that enters your heart when you make this prayer.
Amazon rock in his in his shot on his will.
Does that draw is of three types. The first one that Dr. Olea is the
earlier because they sort of Allah gives them a sign of what that
their prayer is going to be accepted is that it were that
there's something that Allah wants for them is that they find a
Sikkim
It enters their heart when they make such a prayer, and they find
it easy for them to stay with it. They never forget about it. They
never leave it there any obstacle comes, they still keep going. So
the persistence of it and the persistence of it the prophesy
centum said, you said jaboulet Hajikko mela myalgia, you will get
your answer.
As long as you don't rush. And they asked what is rushing? Then
the prophets I said him said that you give up the prayer, you stop
making that supplication. And that DUA and you say I made the DUA,
and Allah never answered me. That is the one who does not get an
answer.
So the second one is the draw of desperation when you're literally
desperate for your life or for your livelihood. And then the
third one, he says, is the doer of the content. He's content, He's
neither desperate, nor does he desire anything. And it's like,
he's making the dogs of the Quran out of the
out of remembrance, and obeying Allah and what he's saying. I have
a question.
The zirconia.
So it says instead of millions that, you know, he right, he's
inspired by what he sees in money and money. And because of that, he
you know, he called up in doc to Allah subhanaw taala. And then,
you know, he says, I've never been disappointed by your DUA. And then
the angel comes in, he says that your God has been granted this,
but then he's surprised. So how can it be that he's surprised that
the die is answered? While also you know, saying that, you know,
while making the duck because it's a profit it's going to make a.he
knows a lot is going to enter that God. So why would he be surprised?
It's a good question. So, the first study and say that when he
says, How will this happen? He was literally asking, Will it happen
by me becoming younger? Will I be reverted in age? The way Zulekha
for example, is said to have reverted an age or a you said to
you about a sunnah was reverted back in he will meet my wife and I
be reverted to use again. That's what he was asking right?
Or will we not will be have our child as we are now. So that's one
of the answers to that it was there was it was like a literal
question.
And then they said no.
Okay.
Connecticut good. Erica Carla Buccola in
Kabul, William Taqwa. But the answer that answer though, even
though that Tafseer, though, is not as convincing, because if you
look at the answer is how because Allah said so. Right.
So it does it would give the the first immediate response would be
that he was shocked. He was surprised. And it was wondering
how.
And so the other angle that Razi gives is that
he has the power of Allah to Allah is not something that he doubts,
but how will it manifest here is something that he couldn't wrap it
couldn't figure out, how will this manifest here in this? How will
the power of Allah manifest in this situation? And then a Razzie
says that the answer is that you will be as you as well as Lana
Lozada were rectified your wife, you nothing needs to change with
you. But your wife has been rectified. In other words, she
will have the baby because Allah subhanaw taala has rectified her
womb
alone is best.
So those are the things for Kaitlyn to look out for you look
out for
resistance in it. A sweetness that answers your heart and your own
self is transforming and getting better.
Self love says I heard the essence of trials cannot be eliminated by
DUA and that dog can only limit the scope of the trial delayed Is
it true, there's difference of opinion on it and that some have
considered that when the Prophet said nothing repels trials except
dua, it means that it's as if dua is an umbrella between you and the
trials. So the trial will come down as Allah has decreed, but it
won't get you what, you won't harm you.
By the way, Ryan is now miked up so the Instagramers can hear him
Whoever this anonymous person got us this splitter we thank you very
much May Allah reward you. And as today's open mic, or open QA I
should say.
And before we go will give our second shout out to our partners,
go to my ArcView dot orgy if you want to study and take our
classes, but if you want help with your secular studies, go to
professor's one to one.com and if you need some books, you need to
pack up your Islamic library. You got to go to Mecca books. There's
no discussion about it. Going to Mecca books by the way if you want
to make Hajj I'll be going for Hajj this year in sha Allah Tada.
May Allah give us a long life and give us a blessed and accepted
hedge. There are 1 million people are allowed to make hedges here
Saudi has released 1 million the usual is like two to three
Something between two to three like, well, 2017 was like 2.6
million. But now it's only 1 million people, which is a huge
number. If you think about it's just not, it's just half less than
it's almost a third of the previous years. But if you want to
do that hedge, you got to hear tours.com I think your head tours
is the name of the website. It's the same people as Microbox. Yeah,
here tours.com. Okay. Yeah, that's what it is. Yeah. tours.com.
All right. And so that's the hedge that they're going to be doing
inshallah Tada. And I'll be with them right now. Let's see who else
do I have any else going with me so far? It's just me. Fine. I'll
take the whole group.
I got a great stamina when it comes to doing these talks, and go
on forever.
Okay, is it okay for my Hutch if they pay for your hedge? Okay.
I told him anytime that you want, guys. I got tons of guys who want
to come. So there's, there's quads, you can get quads, you can
get triple rooms, you can get double rooms. Right. So Hey, Ryan,
for your hominids. Did you get your visa, by the way? Good. You
went to the consulate in New York. And you got it.
All online. Okay, good. I have a story about that one time I had to
go to Qatar and then to ombre. And my flight was the next day and the
the Saudis had not given me my own visa yet.
But they had my passwords,
because you're supposed to mail them your passwords. So I went all
the way there. I went to the Saudi consulate. And I said to them,
my visa has taken too long. Give me my passport. Right? And they're
like, Excuse me, you have to wait your turn. I said Forget I said
cancel. We're not going to go to Amara right. I won't even go to
visit my parents of Qatar, right. I'm going to visit my parents of
Qatar. My parents at the time we're living they live for five
years in Qatar working for the Red Crescent concert of Red Crescent,
which is really amazing. They went to Kashmir Chad then went to so
many different countries Lebanon, right? This is what like retirees,
my dad manages, and my mom was a doctor. So they put them both
together. And they and they did that stuff. So I said to the guy,
I need my passport. I'm traveling tomorrow, right? He said we don't
rush anybody. You're gonna wait your turn. I said, I'm not telling
you to rush my visa. I said cancel my visa. Right. Just don't give me
a visa at all. I'm not gonna go to ombre. Right? I just but I need to
go to a concert tomorrow. I don't think we were such a drama that
the the console himself came out to meet me. And he said, What do
you want? Why are you giving us? I said my passport. It's my
possession, right? You signed you stamp it or don't stamp it? That's
your business. But the password is my possession. I'm asking for my
passport. And I'm said don't tell me you lost it. So he has me write
down that I agree. Right? That they won't give me the visa. I was
like, why would I write it down? I just said it to you. I said fine.
I wrote it down. That I agree. Don't give me your home and a visa
just give me my passports. Right. And as soon as I said that he's
like, okay, now I know you're honest. Stamp his visa.
What is your res? Right? What kind of warped charade was this? Right?
Oh, my goodness. Saudi consulate in New York City? Is Hezbollah bot
a good word for the fulfillment of job?
It is, especially if you read it three times? Are they taking
questions from Instagram? Yes, we are taking questions from
is the dua of Laylatul Qadr excepted as we set it, or can
Allah grant us something else we okay? This is very important. It
is possible that Allah will grant you something else, that he will
save you from a tribulation or he will delay it and give you a
reward on the Day of Judgment, or he will give you what you want,
right? All these four possibilities. But when you
approach two, you're only approach it with one possibility. You
approach it with the possibility that Allah is going to give it to
you as you set it. Why because the prophets I said and told us to do
that. This is the guidance of the messenger it's not my guidance or
is not some kind of self help. Stuff that's completely
subjective. It's it's the teaching of the Prophet odo Allah were
intimately known about each other.
Pray to your Lord while certain of the answer, absolute certainty of
the answer. All right. So that's know those three things could
happen. But that's not your business. That is not your
business. Like for example,
when you go to get engaged, I'm gonna go propose. It's possible
she'll say, yes, it's possible. She'll say no as possible. So
leave me hanging. And it'll just be one of those drawn out
situations. Yeah. But when you go in, you don't go in with that
mentality. You go in with the mentality that you're going to be
successful, otherwise you won't be successful. You have to go in with
the mentality of confidence. Okay, so that's the idea of dua.
If you have to go in with absolute certainty what you're going to ask
him for you're going to receive
because the Prophet commanded us to do so.
Ryan Europe
Okay, got a couple of questions. Does procrastination affect the
person spiritually? It procrastination does affect a
person spiritually because you can't be lazy in one sphere and
energetic and another, you're usually it's a personality trait.
So someone who procrastinates their homework
is probably someone who procrastinates their Salah is
probably someone who procrastinates cleaning the room
is probably someone who procrastinates getting an oil
change. It's something where that person's life is taken over by
this this characteristic. It's affected by this.
What Thoreau says what's the ruling on total weight being 20
It's math of the Sahaba that they established 20 raucous to have all
did that nobody disagreed with it.
Though it is each mouth of the Sahaba in that respects and in the
form of hubs as I know it, the massage let me speak on the medica
them the masajid must establish or as a recommendation should
establish 20 But today we is any set number of records. I know the
Hanafy method was different. I think they require 20 Because
right or it's not sorted we but we say in the medical method, any
number of records is total we're except that the massage it it is
recommended that the massage get established 20 in imitation of the
Sahaba that's it.
How do you become only more thicker, more salah. Do a lot of
the Quran do tahajjud if you can, and fast if you can. If you
combine those things,
you combine those things, then you will find yourself
making great strides. So Rob says was the Lakers age reverse
according to the legend, yes, it was reversed, said in the use of
came, found her
at the side of the road. And she had become a beggar. She had lost
everything. In the years that passed after his jailing. She lost
everything he found on the side of the road as a very poor, ragged
woman.
And then when he saw her,
he made dua for her and they married according to the legend,
they did Mary She did get him at the end, right many years past,
but she did get whom she loved saving the use of it. So then, and
that is for one of the reasons so that a profit is not a fitna for
somebody.
Profit is not a fitna for any woman. And so that's what the
legend says. Is that like history from the Prophet No, but it's
legend that said that, that he saw that side of the road made dua for
her. And then he made like on water or something she washed her
face with that water and hurt something at some youth came back
to her. Basically that's what it is some youth not like you went
from 60 to 20 No, but some youth came back to her and she lived out
her life with saying there's a whole story drama after the
drought right after the job after reconciliation now saying the use
of he's the chief of his people. Yes, he married Zulekha but also
there's the King gets worried about what about St. Joseph so he
cuts for him a piece of land in the desert
piece of land in the desert and he says that's your land and this is
our land so take all your money so to eat and go live over there.
This is also protection for Vanessa eat so don't dissolve in
this society. So say and use of in the venue so that they all live in
an area in the desert and they spent
they start digging for water and they dig for over two years. They
dig for exactly 1000 days. Then use of puts his hands up so Newsom
puts his hands up he says oh Allah we've we've been digging we cannot
get water of course they had other sources of water but they're
looking for a big source of water further for farms.
And then Allah Tada caused Santa Gibreel to come down and etch out
a piece you know some water for them from the ground. That area is
called now as a UWM. It comes from ELF Yom LVM and you can find it on
the map called L Fe you calm it comes from Elf, yo and it was
established by Sydney's if you want to live in the city that was
established by say now Yusuf then you go to alpha you
alright, so Ben some says if you repeatedly see something is that a
sign it's possible depends on what it is. It could be something just
from yourself from your memory it could be from it could be from
Allah it's very likely if it's a true dream
right
so Hey, he asked does a piece of food the size of a sesame seed
that becomes dislodged and accidentally swallowed later Greg
divest? Is there a size requirement for this?
There's no such requirement.
Any amount of food
a
person swallows in the month of Ramadan, if he swallows it
intentionally, he goes to the Inca photo. If he swallows it by
accident, like I just found a piece of food in my mouth. I
didn't know what to do and boom, it came down. It was a complete
accident, then it's
because you okay, you finish the day fasting, you complete the
complete the day. You have no sin against you. But you Ocula
Caitlin says, since we're not supposed to limit Allah's powers
in our dogs, can we ask Allah to make a specific XYZ good for us
instead of asking to get what's good for us?
You technically can do that. But it's not from the Edit. Right? But
you may say, oh, Allah, I asked you for this and make it bless it.
For me. It is permissible to say that it's not impermissible to say
that, but the automat, they love the adab more of submitting to
letting Allah choose. However, we don't say that it's forbidden for
you to say that. It's not forbidden for you to say that.
What have you been making dua for something you don't become
persistent until Allah sends you a positive thing in your life that
makes you make that dua again. So yeah, there are things that revive
your thoughts about something you may have slackened because he just
didn't see
getting anywhere and he as a human, you lose a little bit of
heart, then Allah gives you another sign, and you get right
back into it again, fine, good. But one of the but you should also
know that the statement of the prophets I said to make dua, while
certain of the job is that also is a sign when your prophet is
telling you do this. Right. That's also a sign but however, what you
said is also what Shahida said, is also fun, and it happens. It's not
just fine, theoretically, it's something that does happen. It
does happen that you lose heart, and then Allah helps you, he sends
you something to revive you that this idea is going to come to life
again. And it comes to life in your heart again. So that is
something that happens quite commonly. Is it bad to leave your
DAW and come back to it again? It depends why you leave it if you
leave it because you lose hope that's never good. If you leave it
because you just forgot about it. And the time is going on now right
time is passing and you're not seeing results, and you just just
forgot about it. That's okay. happens.
Okay, what is his vive Caitlyn says it's a DUA, it's a famous
his.
His bizza is a collection of prayers. I would Hessen a
Cheveley,
the Moroccan scholar that lived in Egypt, and he says that
we were on the way to Hajj and we were crossing the Red Sea. And
while crossing the Red Sea,
on the boat of a Christian and his son's, a storm hit.
And this storm was going to cause us all to cap this boat to
capsize, and we were all going to die.
And the storm lasted one day today.
At some point, I went into my cabin and I shut my eyes. There I
saw the messenger of allah sallallahu he was this is I would
have been a Shadley saying and he recited to me has been bad. He
recited it to me. And he said, Go get up and recite it. And I woke
up. I went up to the front of the ship, which I think they called
the hole and I recited has been bought. And suddenly immediately
as I'm reciting it, the entire storm went away and the ocean
calmed down.
The Christian and his son became Muslims. And they went to Hajj
with us after this experience. And his Bilbao to spread far and wide
after that the litany of the see it's called
data 2020 says where are the questions on marriage? All these
dots questions are on marriage.
All the dog questions 90% of pupils do is to get married. And
then after that 90% of their dua is to have a kid then after that
for the men 90% of their daughters to make some money.
Ryan You're up
all right, Eunice is asking if aamra is
is unbuffered No, it's not homeless.
Isn't sustain a combined title of Hassan and Hussein you know, it's
that's a different spelling. This is what seen that.
That's different spelling
with a thought for him says if given the opportunity, will you
have a conversation, a conversation with the likes of
Jordan Peterson? What do I have to say to him? I'll talk to anybody
first of all,
But what do I have to say to him?
I guess we'll just we'll just chit chat, I guess I would challenge
him, what's his what's his foundations? Right? What is his
foundation by the way, European European love, like not not in the
sense I don't think he's a nationalist. But at the same time,
like he's founded on very European ideals, and of what he sees to be
the ideal European society. So anyone who's fulfilling that goal,
you know, anything, it doesn't really matter where on the
spectrum they're coming from, he's going to take and borrowed from
what our European ideas, what are the main, like, for example,
democracy, for example, like, I think that anyone who has, you
know, like, of European philosophy of what it means to live a good
life he takes from them
alright.
I'll talk to anybody,
but also stop talking to anybody. Right? Because if I see this go,
it's going nowhere. Right? He did talk to a couple of Muslims um,
the use of that was cancelled. Why was it canceled? Logistically
they're
arranging it
right. Are there any general drawers we can make the cover or
goodness in protection?
Any general draw to cover goodness and protection? Allah who must
stood out it will Emirati This is the document medical of most law
whom Mr. Our RT where men are a variety. Oh Allah guard my,
my IRA, which is the hour in this life is everything in which I'm
vulnerable in this life. What Emirati and quell everything I
fear and usually it said the fears of this life and the fears of the
next life. Aloma Surah T. ramrod, what is the position of the Maliki
method on other confirmed Sooners Other than that,
it is preferred by the method is it jet is or mcru to practice
them?
Well, the confirm some as of the prayers. So, no AQa of Salah in
the Maliki method is as soon as I have a name,
which,
for example, as soon as that have a name, then the Rebbe is only one
Ravi but the highly encouraged is to rock as before fetch.
Everything else that doesn't have a name is called NAFTA, such as
Bubba Watson put a watch of being four to four records before the
horse and there's no limit on those. You Waiting For the map to
come. You can press as long till the map comes to four cars with no
limit after vote to for a cause before us to for six hours or more
after method, so on and so forth.
Right. Is it permissible to pray sitting down in the car if you're
traveling and the weather is bad outside or the area is not safe?
The area's not safe. weather's bad. Can you pray in your car? You
have to pray in your car. But you should repeat that prayer when you
get home.
All right, Sidra says check the question box. So here I am in the
check aboard exams that cannot be rescheduled? Can I fat, script my
fast.
I have a lot of respect for doctors and people going into
medicine, medicine, however. And I just had a brother asked me this
question. And he told me that his exam is an hour and a half away. I
said it was an MCAT I said, that's traveling distance. So travel the
night before.
Right sleep early. Next day, you're in a valid travel
situation, you can break your fast and you could take your exam while
breaking your fast right? So that's what he did. So the only
thing I have to first hit is
if it's travelers distance. So book your exam travelers distance
away.
You got to revise before that before the soldier of that day
though you have to you have to leave your house your area
anytime in the night, not after fetch. So you leave the night
before take the hotel into that area. Right. Okay, interesting
question from nothing. I always stutter on the our whenever our
recites other words in the problem. So this is like a sign
stuttering something No, stuttering is not a problem. And
there's not a lot of letter insula on the prophets. I send
a suit Okay, so say NaVi. Right. So sad.
Number spaces. Is it necessary married couples have the same
method. It's not necessary. But the household should have an
official method. I like that. Right.
Right. All right, your mom's Hanafy but this house, this is
this family's a medic event. That's what it is a household
handbook. Right? And they say
Oh, there's another method go go live in that house that your kids
come home but the Sheffy go go find a chef, a dad then
you have a state New Jersey state law, right? If I need to know what
the law is, I don't have to go on methods. New Jersey state law. If
I'm going across state borders, there's federal law.
If you're in this household, there's Medicaid law.
I'll teach it to right there it is. That's the book right there.
Go and look it up. And these are this you that we go to.
All right, how to deal with mental health issues, mental health
issues affecting
spirituality during Ramadan, suicidal thoughts of self harm?
Well, it's very simple equation. If there's going to be self harm,
if there's going to be any kind of harm that we call that a sickness
that is valid to break the fest, but you need a Muslim doctor to
tell you that
make sense? You didn't Muslim doctor
tell you this.
But if there's going to be harm,
that's the that's the the line. If there's going to be harm if
there's going to be hardship, no hardship, we don't break fast for
hardship, hungers, hardship, you know, break the fast for hardship.
You break the law line is sickness and harm. That's the line.
All right, so we got
Caitlin Joab says, any significance to repeating Salah
Alfetta for fulfillment of any Salah on the prophets I send them
one of the guarantees is dA is answered.
I make a lot of Salah on the Prophet size seven hundreds upon
1000s upon 1000s a day and you will see amazing things happen
canadream Oh of a prophet other than Muhammad Salah is going to be
a false dream. It could be a false dream. If if if that prophet is
telling you to do something haram
that's where it's going to be a false dream. We still need to do
something haram or something in it that contradicts the Sharia
All right. That guy mm. My daughter would love to talk to
you. She loves listening last week. She asked multiple times
when the share we listened to daily is coming on. She's eight
and she's a number one fan of your team. That's great. Why don't you
call in
all right, takes my phone and gets Instagram save your life. Why
don't you call in so go and send a message to info at Safina
society.org
send that email send your phone number and you will get called in
or actually Ryan will reply right if you reply to info reply with
this phone with this one here
this one here? Yeah, because it's thick and the audio is really good
yeah
we have to two things from community members community
members local people locals let's hear it first one.
Brother Harris he's giving a reminder for the Hutton time today
it's changing because I've had my conflict with us might conflict
with us. Harris Amin is talking about the prayer time. By the way
if you guys want to join men and women's hats, we do this on Zoom
go to mbyc.org right go to mbse.org and
and you'll see the links but the men's Cutsem is going to be
at 5pm
Let's just say 515 Okay, right. That will take us throughout the
whole month there will be no conflict we pray also to right
away and we do the Hudson okay 515 will be our cut some time. So
Harrison mean could you send that to the chat and tell them that we
just talked and make it 515 That way we could pray also the entire
time before the Cutsem we only have 20 days left right? We're
This is the 10th day of Ramadan Subhan Allah them
so go to mbyc.org and and you could join the women's virtual
Cutsem How do we do it? We open up the iPad and the Quran and zoom.
Everyone reads two pages.
So someone has a question based on your talk after February this
morning. Yep, I'm one of one of those Oh, the Committee on mobile
recommend dua for immediate rain to be taken down. How can you
reconcile the principle of keeping the doors general?
You don't have to keep your dog general by the way. I want just
for the know the distance Instagram. Can you hear Ryan? Did
you hear Ryan's question? Well,
someone answered me just say yes or no.
Just to make sure because he's
That's
what is
this? Let me just do it and see if the listeners actually hear. Okay.
I don't know why.
Oh, smart. Now to be clear.
Okay, so the answer is, this is the best we can do here because it
might not work. What I just did. Alright Ryan say something again.
Did you hear Ryan say of hum? Did Allah? Yes, they can hear. It's
nice and crisp. And that should be nice and crisp. Yes. Loud and
clear says we're seeing Alright, really good. Now you could turn it
on and off, right? Yeah. Okay, good. Excellent. And they can hear
us mento really good.
Now, what was the question we were just talking about right?
About Eric making a specific dua. Yes, you it's number one, the
drought for rain is Miss noon. Right? For those who say that they
only want to make a general drought and not a specific one.
But the dot for rain is where it's sooner to make that drought.
That's why he made that drought. Secondly, you don't have to limit
your droughts in general you it is hello to make a specific drug.
It's not how to think not invalid about that. If you wash a body
part more than the prescribed amount is your would do valid or
invalid. No, it does not invalidate it. Let's say I want to
wash my hand five times, or four times or six times. It's not
invalid, does not invalidate it. And why you do it will determine
the ruling. For example, if you say I'm going to do more, because
there's a hadith, in which the Sahaba said
what that the prophesy centum said that there were limbs of voodoo
will shine light for you on the Day of Judgment. The Sahaba then
said then we'll increase it. Now it's that's understood in
different ways, three different ways. When the Sahaba said then
we'll increase it. Number one will increase how many times we make we
do now that's fine always make we do or the number of times
specifically per limb or the extent to which you make the we do
so that some people came in on epiglottitis saw him making we do
past that the normal length.
So if that's the intention, then fine. If your intention is that
you think you know better than the prophet, which I don't think
anybody would take that then we'd say that you're looked at it.
That's a bitter at that point. But they will do is still valid.
All right, let's now move on to Ryan, what you got.
Where's my head today?
You know, mom, she's like a sister. She's a
clinical. Yeah, we're the regulars today. All right, right. What you
got regulars are over here to stay.
Is was like the best English translation of when the best
English translation of welI?
That's a good question. But because it's such a specific term,
there isn't a translation. And that's why the Arabic language is
Islam has always introduced words into the language.
And so there, wherever Islam comes, it introduces words and
when he has to become one of them,
right, because there's so many different is it protect is that
friend, the many people say friend, right friends are equals.
You're not equals to Allah.
So we're so Abdullah, but you're protected, you're loved. You're
given what you're what you asked for it. Right? It's a big deal to
deal with it. There's, there's no other goal in life. Because once
you attain this goal, you will literally so the doors that will
open up are amazing. There's no other goal in life that Mohammed
is asking about like St. What's the implicating year without the
Catholic?
What's the etymology of the word St. In Latin, is sacred,
sanctified? I think that's what it is.
So I don't know. Can we say that about somebody Sankt? Is their
soul sanctified? What is sanctified means all impurities
are removed? Is that what what the etymology of that is person
acknowledged as holy or virtuous? Okay, typically regarded as being
in heaven after death. Yeah, fair enough. I guess it's okay. But I'm
not a fan of using words that already have other connotations.
Right? Why would we do that? I don't understand the the logic of
Muslims who love to run after Judeo Christian terminology. I'm
telling you these religions with all due respect, they're the
reasons that we have atheism.
The errors within those religions are the reasons that atheism
exists.
That's the result. What would
What to do when they have satanic thoughts during the vicar and
prayer, ignore them, that you're going to have them by the way,
because a thon does not want your neffs does not want you
remembering Allah. So you will have those thoughts. So no
problem, just ignore them completely.
Titi Ansari says,
How can we bring ourselves in a constant state of gratitude? It
doesn't start with the tongue, I would say no, it's, I would say it
starts with your mind. It starts with actually thinking about what
you have. And it starts with your eyes looking at what others don't
have. So look at what the people of others are going through, look
at what some four people are going through, look at what look at what
others are going through.
And then the province has said and guided us to gratitude, don't look
at those who have more, look at those who have less, because
that's all happiness and gratitude is relative. Right? It's all
relative. So look at those who have less than you.
Rather than those who have more.
Shape is it okay, this is Israel or regular? Is it okay to put an
enemy action figures in one's bedroom?
No,
I'm against.
I'm against them. Because I heard Hey, can you hit the pause button?
I heard and alone is best. If it's true, I heard that the original
designers, they designed it with one of the goals in mind is to
make kids atheists. I read that.
Can't remember where I read it. But it did read it. I'm not a fan
of anime.
cartoons. Yeah. You know, like, the thing is, is that with a lot
of western TV shows, you know, you can kind of tell like, there's no
TV show is good, right? Especially the ones that are for kids. A lot
of them, you know, like they're really promoting the wrong ideals.
One thing about like, Eastern, like ideology is that it's, you
know, very strongly rooted in paganism. And it's rooted in a lot
of like, gouffre ideology, but specifically with polytheism in
mind, as opposed to a lot of our western TV shows, you know,
there's a lot of mischief. And you know, more and more, it's going
towards, like, LGBT stuff. But the thing is that at the same time,
it's like, it's more close to our ideology as Muslims. Well, you
know, the Eastern TV shows there, you know, like, they deal with
like, chakra they deal with avatars, for example. You know
what I mean? Like they deal with concepts related to like idol
worship. Yeah, it's like the Eastern ones are like, like, there
are key though problems, but the Western ones are like tricky
problems.
desires, because you only go straight into it should will hurt
and show it to hurt false ideas shall what desires, pressure,
passions and desires, there's only two ways to go wrong. And it kind
of just like, it's not going to like lead your kids astray. But it
definitely opens up their mind to these possibilities, for example,
like, like, reincarnation is such a big thing in Eastern religions,
Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism, and that's going to be completely
evident in you know, pretty much every enemy has some, you know,
like form of reincarnation that takes place. Now, that opens up
the possibility that they start thinking about these ideas as
well. And it's, it's like a, it's not a good thing to get too
involved in. So let me get this straight enemy's just a style of
drone. Yes, but it comes from Japan. And then you know, and it's
now you know, more common in like, Japan, you have, I think, Korea,
you know, like from that from the east, the Far East. I don't know
if that's but it's just a style. Yeah. But it's also a content.
Yeah, it's like, the same way that we have novels. It's a media, it's
a form of media. So cartoons are different than enemy. So when you
say like, let's say romance novels, right, right, content is
different, but the general theme is all the same, right? It's like
an in of itself. It's also a subculture, yeah. Where it's not
just, you know, like, in of itself, the art form, maybe it's
permissible, maybe it's not, but it also, it's like, the discourse
that comes with it. Like, you know, like, what are the concepts
that are being discussed? You know, it builds off of each other
the same way that any like, like art form does. Okay. So, yeah, I
mean, I wonder if, what would I do if my kids got into enemy I would
shut it down, right? Because I don't know what's going on here.
Right? Who are these people sharing these ideas? I'm going to
shut it down. I'll take it to the next game instead.
Just like substitute a basketball Yeah, I'll shut it down. You'd be
upset for a day or two. And then I'll take it to the next game and
that should do the trick.
All right. Are we gonna get a call? I think we're gonna call it
right now. What's the name of the caller? Hamza?
Hamza.
Why they come sit. I'm saying how was what's happening?
Just wanted to
it's a pretty common question.
How do you deal with the sort of mid Ramadan slump or
often have
happens around this time or maybe around these couple of days when
the second third sort of starts
if somebody has a dip in the month of Ramadan, what do you do? You
read you, you always go back to the same questions. What's my
motivation? What do I love? What would I die for? Like what do I
really really what would make me wake up in the morning?
It's what it's all always about what is our motivation? Right? And
what are our fears? You should have fears right?
So you go back to these things and you revive them by thinking about
them looking at them. And that let that be the spark to get us back
to our I better to Allah sincerity is not that you worship Allah
alone. For no other reason except love of Allah sincerity is that
you do not seek your reward from other than Allah that you believe
he's the keeper of your reward. So that's what I would say.
Yeah, okay, so
thank you for the clarification about sincerity because I was
always wondering about like, you know, how like, people asked about
like, Okay,
how would How do I love like my friends, but like, I also love a
lot like, how do I love people only thing, like,
one of the
one of the ways is that as a prophesy seven C's told the Sahaba
do the halal. Make the Khaled Khaled so how do you do that? He
said, Do it knowing it's hella believing it's hella meat. Allah
permitted this. So I'm doing it believing about Allah permitted
this. Likewise, we do it. We do something knowing Allah loves good
relations between the people. right between his believers.
Right, it's fitrah. From human being. Yeah.
Well, thank you so much. Welcome.
What about that other sister? Is she gonna call in? I don't think
so. Okay, let's you didn't get the message? Yes. So if you want to
call it and go to info Asif inside.org, you'll get the call in
number. All right, what time you guys we are Eastern Standard Time.
So extra ad seven. We are. Oh, that's clever, actually. Because
ad seven was taken. So she put ad seven, right.
And it worked.
Our Eastern Standard Time women's five o'clock, men's 515.
Caitlyn says, Can you do a separate session on Laylatul Qadr?
And how to best approach it. Yes, we will do that in JAMA.
We will do that.
All right. All right. All right. Eunice is asking, Can we say
firmly that summarize a rally? Okay, there it's asking you to
bring your mic closer a little bit since now that you could you don't
have to because you don't have to. You can touch the button now. So
alright, so we say with certainty that someone's already does it
confirm this? We can we can say with certainty some people are
already up,
though when there's an edge mount upon it, such as the sahaba.
Right? Well, it's not even address the Quran. And the and the
prophets I send them we get guaranteed them Paradise has
anyone guaranteed paradise without being overly but and so. That's
one other than that, we say we there's a degree of hope. For
example, if I see somebody usually we need to see that that person
has lived out their life. Because if they're still alive, you can
still make mistakes, right? But
if they've died, and they have all the signs, we can say there's a
high degree of hope. But as for absolute certainty, no, we don't
speak like that about the odd about people. But there are
greater levels for example, is there anyone going to have much of
a doubt on in Makati, for example, or I'm gonna call them J. Lani,
for example, or mmm in Norway, or the four Imams? There's not much
doubt about that, right? But we still don't speak with absolute
certainty, except about whom Allah spoke and whom the prophets I said
and spoke with absolute certainty.
All right, let us take a couple more questions than we wrap up.
Can you introduce everyone in the studio? I'm still not sure who
everyone is. All right. Well, the two people who are essentially
this program together is Ryan's at the chair. He's at the desk behind
and he's squeaking his chairs always squeaky right? We need to
get this brother some WD 40 Right. be hilarious Ryan if we go to the
masjid and find someone had mailed us WD
but we need to get this brother some WD 40 for his chair because
it keeps squeaking. It's been squeaking so long that we don't
even hear it anymore. Right? Well, you know, when some something's
THERE'S SO FUNNY during COVID When we had our virtual Cutsem there
was a reciter at the zoo, Danny. Right? Almost Elon Musk
his smoke alarm needed a battery.
The next Ramadan right, his smoke alarm still needed better. He's
full year pass without him changing the smoke alarm better.
Yeah. So that's Ryan. Okay. Ryan is is is World New Jerseyans, and
Orion is our resident.
He's our operations man who's running the actual you should see
he's got like the buttons, right? He's pushing buttons. He's the one
who gives you your stamps. But yeah, he's got, yeah, he's got
buttons, he's got little jingles. We're gonna get a jingle by the
way for this, just for this. And guess what? The guys who designed
the original jingle are our designers to producers, I should
say. That's the that's the connection we got. So that's the
first guy who is there. But and the second one is off men, also
known as azZaman, which became us, which became the Wizard of us,
because he put together this whole thing with
with all the mics, the arms, the cameras, we got three cameras
here. The cell phone and two cameras. We got lights all over
the place. And we have this what do you call it? The DJ thing.
The mixer is got the mixer and everything. So before this, we
used to call on the music producer, because he looked like a
music producer. But he actually turned out to know a thing or two.
So that's who is in the studio right now. You have a good
question over here. That's they're both single, by the way.
Got a very relevant question from Porsche. Okay. Local Islamic
school is having the two second graders do a play called wizard of
us. The play has a good witch and a bad which would this be
problematic? Inshallah it shouldn't be problematic because I
think that there's any theological things there, right. It's just I
guess, magic fairy tale type of thing.
It's, I don't remember what the story of The Wizard of Oz is.
It's, it's the girl is she's in Kentucky. And then a tornado takes
her Kansas Kansas. Tornado takes her into a magical land. What is
it the lesson that she should be thankful or what?
Yeah, it's like, it's like the hero's journey. Okay, but she has
to make her way back. And she and she goes into this fairytale and
there's a lion and then there's a 10 Min, 10 min. And then there's a
stock. Oh, yeah, the Stockman, whatever? Scarecrow, the
Scarecrow, right. And then she meets them and they're her
friends. And then they follow the yellow brick road. And then they
get to where they make some stops. There's like the Good Witch and
there's before which is good for us, or something. Yeah. And then
like, eventually they get to the Wizard of Oz. Turns out the guy is
a complete fraud. Very serious. Yeah. That's what happens. It's
like, it's like he's a company. Oh, that's so good. Yeah.
No, no, actually, it's kind of, it's like, what he does is that
everything that he does, it's not actual magic. It's like illusions.
And he uses his head. Like to make himself look big. He uses mirrors.
Illusion. And then you know, he basically just gives everyone
placebo. You know, the Tin Man, he needed a heart. I think lions
needed courage. He gives everyone placebo, and then they go home
feeling really happy. So all my life growing up as a kid, I
thought it was Allison, like, the name Allison. And her last name is
Wonderland.
So that's
John, that shouldn't be a problem there. I think it's a parable for
like communism or Marx. It's always some, like that, was it? It
was it was a I read like a couple of days ago. It's like supposed to
be a parable for like the gold standard, because at that time,
the gold standard was being phased out. It was being replaced with
greenbacks. And so that, like that Green Road that they traveled
down, that's like, Oh, yeah. And that's the yellow brick road
versus the green. Yeah.
It was a philosopher. Oxford Oxford professor. Right. That was
the Wizard of Oz show of the shot.
Summarize the summary of the Wizard of Oz by the Wizard of Oz.
Are any any vaccine series questions? Any specific dua for
any specific drug for healing, I'm assuming, right?
shut out the profit. So yes, the door after that, of course, and
stuff Allah, Allah, the mullah the lead. Three times when you see, as
I said, I've said it. We said that three times before he sleeps, then
I'll intercede for him and taking care of orphans, intercession. So
that's three things right there. And if you can't take care of an
orphan and bring them into your home, and you can sponsor an
orphan, it's not a really
no that one must break fast immediately such as
It's time of breaking fast.
When is the best time to make dua because it's one of the times it's
not rejected right before your fast
before you put that camera in your mouth, or whatever you break your
fast, it could be water could be milk as a sun could be anything
else besides that. It could be just with your intention if you
don't have food with you.
Right before that, you make your DUA and you believe this dua will
be answered.
Well, I have a question. Yes. So what's the because it seems like
your question is like, she doesn't want to delay breaking the past to
make that dua like what's the what's this like severity of
breaking the fast late? No, that's not considered delink. The DUA
before putting somebody in your mouth is not considered delay.
And you're not going to make up for it within reason. A few
minutes, there's not going to be 20 minute da right that we would
say you're now exiting the Sunnah.
But the only a few minutes is okay.
Mr. Mahama has arrived from England maybe she had to start
dinner that's why she was late.
And because you either company, alright 1010 Gaza, something
company says is it permissible in a woman's hide during Ramadan to
wake up and make 100%
Of course and your dog's height? And dua have nothing to do with
each other. You can make dua all day and all night upon height
is the period.
Ma'am says she spilled the hot sauce upon hearing this. Can you
sell tell us something about tafsir Orual ban?
Not yet, not yet. Enjoy him what's Islamic view on Law of Attraction
and manifestation. I personally think that law of attraction and
manifestation
that has any value to it is simply when people talk about their
experiences, my experience in
focusing my experience in this that another
and just take it for what it is. That's just his experience. But
for us, for us to believe that we're going to create something
into existence or break something what is false for us to believe
and we should never go there is to believe that we're actually the
doors No, we're all means we're esvet right, it's as a means by
which things are done. That's it. If you believe that then go ahead,
you're just a means. And if you believe that Allah is the only
doer and that you're you know constant meditation upon something
is just a means to an end. There's no harm in that. The key is to and
also
that's the really the main thing is to realize Allah Tada is the
only power that is in moving anything we are just means whether
it's law of attraction, people use Law of Attraction until they get
rich, then they use their money. Right? That's my philosophy. They
use Law of Attraction and so they make the millions of dollars that
they just buy whatever they need, right but point being is that
money
meditation techniques goal setting, planning all of these
things together are all means to achieving goals as a Muslim does
not believe that we have any autonomous power of ourselves
we're not like this Joe Dispenza guy he says that we're you become
a quantum creator want to
create a better face for yourself that right you don't creating
anything. Allah's only creator you're in his control 100% The
fastest route faster than any of this is dropped. But at the same
time if it's a means and heavy Vamana does say that to m one is a
mean Syrians to M word. Okay? It which is constantly thinking about
something and having a drive and a belief. He says that is one of the
reasons I'll answers your prayers, because you're taking the means
the means being that put it in your heart. act upon it. Talk
about it. Oh, well maybe Namath did a big of a head for the as for
the good of your Lord speak about it. Constantly. You're You're
surrounded your mind with this subject.
That's the means. And perhaps because you've taken the means a
low answer your prayer.
Okay, so that's very important.
theological understanding for that.
All right, SS how many how when should we stop writing five
minutes.
All right, so 330 stops on
Levantine says.
Sisters from Shem Why did Allah grant the children of Israel so
many favors as is told and suited to the bucket up but Muslims are
suffering and food from heaven isn't coming for them like the
nation of Musa on a sinner.
Allah subhana wa Tada He granted He grants His believers many
favors and no OMA has been given more favors than almost the
prophets of Allah when he was done. We have been given so much
more than what Venezuela has been given. And the reason is, it's not
just It is Allah's will. But the prophet of Islam is the most
beloved of, of prophets to Allah. And the people who followed the
Prophet were humble.
Whereas the people who follow the the Benny Slade had the disease.
They they weren't they pestered their prophets, they disrespected
their prophets, they killed some of their prophets. And they had
diseases in their hearts to the point that Allah had to keep
sending them prophets to cure them. We only have one prophet
because the disease of the hearts of the people of his time are not
so much. Right. So the Sunnah established by the Companions is
to be is we're humble followers of Muhammad, what the prophet tells
us we act upon it, we don't ask too many questions. I was gonna
get the battery real quick.
And so
why we haven't been given food from the heavens.
Because we have Desi food in this OMA right? Think about this. I'm
not even kidding you the the hoot look at their food, right? Their
food from the heavens, that was a desperation, right? That was a
desperation. And they needed that but the aroma of Mohammed is
blessed in food beyond el mundo was several, of course men was
several came from the heavens. But we have a look at the cuisine of
Muslims what Allah has given us if food was a blessing, which it's
not right, in the sense of its sign of Allah's love. Sorry, I'm
mixing up all my words here is not the
sign of Allah's love number one. But if you want to say that food
is a type of blessing, then look at the foods that the OMA has,
from Moroccan food, from Desi food from Syrian food, and Lebanese
from all these cuisines that we have and compare and contrast that
with the fruit of the hood,
which is Eastern European food.
Which is they're not allowed to mix
meat and dairy. Which is they are not allowed to what also they're
not allowed to have some meat mix meat and dairy cheeseburgers and
Oh, cheese burgers. There. That's terrible. That is to us one
apostate for that accent chicken like they can't do that. You
cannot do the child with the you can have eggs and chicken, the
child the product and the animal itself. So lamb with yogurt, for
example, cannot do it. Oh, that's the reason why. Yeah. You cannot
mix the animal with
the what it produces.
That's the law. Everything has to become kosher. For example, what
has to be had for us our meat? What has to be kosher for the
food? Everything has to become kosher. It's a great business for
the rabbi.
So don't ever imagine that. And she's saying, okay, maybe she's
saying food only. That's food as one thing. Suffering. Let's talk
about suffering.
What is the percentage of the OMA that right now that suffering?
Let's say Palestine, Yemen,
but probably less than 20% of the OMA. If you go to most Muslim
countries they're eating they're living safely, right? Yes, it may
be poor. So percentage wise right now.
It's not a large percentage. Right? That's suffering.
Now, let's zoom out historically speaking, when did the Muslims
start suffering? Only about 100 years ago, right? Less than 100
years ago, before that, from the time of the prophets. I said up
until now, you go through Yes, their Mongols came and went right.
But as a whole, the OMA was an extremely great health.
Extremely great political health,
financial health and everything. So
when you could if you truly compare between, let's just say
these two things that she mentioned the cuisine of Muslims,
which we don't care about, we don't care about but she's she
uses it as a favor that Allah brought them into Salwa down upon
them, right.
The way that the Muslims live and the security that they've had, and
compare that with the WHO there's no, there's no contest that the we
have been given a lot more Rama that the Muslim woman has been
treated with a lot more mercy and they who'd have be had
have received a terrible tortures and punishments that you wouldn't
want even 1/10 of that upon you. Right? So
all right, right?
So someone's asking me, Abu Hadees asking any advice for a high
schooler who was surrounded by non Muslims in school? Any advice for
all Muslims? I don't have to answer the, I don't have to repeat
the questions now. Which is really great.
I would say you have to really flood yourself and your schedule
with time spent with Muslims. Like you got to go from school, you got
to go to the masjid every night. If you can.
Do attic, if you go to the masjid as much as you can hang, you have
to balance out that samba with better Samba because if Samba is
your problem, the company you have is your problem.
And the other better company is your solution.
The car aristocrat says
how should we approach seeking a wife if we aren't to make contact
with them privately, you should seek it through an intermediary
and through the families if you can be the intermediary and
through the families. And then you can spend time privately with them
in a way that people like you go visit their house, and you sit in
a room on the side for example.
And the Saudis have a name for this. Can't remember what they
call it. But you sit in a room on the side and you can speak
privately to them.
Right? You can speak properly to
pick this up. It's easier
to pick it up.
Hello?
Who is this? Are you here outside?
Alright, are you?
Yeah, we're here. Bear shahada though. That's Captain COVID.
Yeah.
So that's how you so you, so you have these meetings in that in
that manner? Right? You have this meaning meetings in the house, but
like, to the site, right, in a room and you could talk forever,
but there's it there's no closed door. And people come in and out,
bring you some tea, and you're chit chatting talk for a long
time. Right? And you do this once, twice, three times. Until you get
to know one another.
Questions. Yeah. This so like,
at least in the back of like the membership. Rami was saying that,
like taking enjoyment from the woman's voice would be
impermissible. And he said that also extends to enjoy talking to
her. So what if when you're, you know, in the proceedings of
marriage, like how do you make sure that that the like, is that?
Like, you kind of get what my question is? Yeah, I get your
question. Well, you just have to go by your intention. Right? My
intention is to get to know this person. That's essentially that's
how you're gonna go about it. You're not sitting there listening
to me, you're listening to recordings right. And deriving
pleasure from that.
Candy 1296. It is also talks about the journey of the other character
to overcome their fears in their way up to the wizard. Yes, that
the way to the Wizard of Oz. This was for people joining us, The
Wizard of Oz gave us a movie
of the Wizard of Oz, because it was a question from a sister
centered kid, her daughter or son is doing a play in school. Is this
permissible? And I don't see that there's anything impermissible
about it. Doing the play of the Wizard of Oz. It's like an
allegorical play. Should we say the DUA then during or after the
event? After the event? So much space? How do we know if Allah is
telling us a captain a certain dua is not okay for us when we are
stubborn or stuck on something.
If you get signs that would force you if a dua itself cannot be
wrong, unless the wording of the data is wrong. Right?
Unless the reality shows for example, if you're praying Oh
ALLAH heal my grandmother, then your grandmother passes away that
they clearly Allah has chosen something other than your prayer.
And then that's it like there's there's there's no way to make
that dua anymore. But other than that, a dua is it's a DUA, it's,
you're free to continue to do it. And maybe if Allah sending you a
sign that you shouldn't do it, or say that dua I don't think that
there's limits on the dot that you can say, but in terms of your
actions, you should always look at the realities around you in terms
of your actions. Right so for example, I want to marry so and so
but then someone's gotten married to somebody else. Now what are you
going to wait until he divorces?
No, move on with your life now? I would say move on yourself. If
Allah had willed that, maybe it will it later on but move on with
your life now. It's what you do is also as important. What did the
captain said? He said two to three minutes.
Just checking to see okay, so let's wrap up because
The captain of the local police
is actually coming to visit our center he's a really cool guy
right yes from
he's probably showing up your any minute now.
Pakistani shawls man Masuda saying she says I know the Yemenis are
ones are thing but so are the Kashmiri ones. I don't know what
they look like to be quite honest.
What do you think of subliminals says it's about other very
powerful subliminal messaging. It's pretty powerful.
How can I teach myself patients when dealing with people who may
be bipolar or narcissist, I think you should you don't have you're
not obligated to be around them. Stay away from them
away from such people as much as you can unless it's your parents
that you have to deal with.
Where can we get men and Sunhwa said what is a bird you can eat
that you can get it? It's quills men, you know, I don't think you
that it is something that you don't, you'll get
like men, which is like an energy thing. It's like basically like
you can only get a certain number of spells that come from men. Oh,
really?
Alright, folks, let's wrap it up here. We had a nice open QA. And
now we're gonna go meet the let one more question from Rosa makan.
Please explain more about the verts left open. I then went home
yesterday noon. You never have to worry about people who have Taqwa.
If someone has Tuckwell you never have to worry about that person.
That person is in the care of Allah subhanaw taala don't worry
about them and they themselves one of the signs of when sadness is
not something that settles in them. grief, depression and
sadness did not settle. Yes, they may have it for a little bit, but
they quickly returned back to their members of Allah optimism,
the wonderful creation of Allah they get busy doing a better busy
serving others remember death? Move on. And so their attribute is
that layer syndrome. They don't they don't have spells of sadness.
