Smilla Rahmanir Rahim Al hamdu lillah wa Salatu was Salam ala
Rasulillah he was early he was Sunday Woman Well, welcome
everybody to nothing but facts live stream that is a continuation
of last week's stories of the Alia and we talked about the sayings of
Osama Deen Olia who was considered like one of the greatest
shoe of India in terms of the mat, the spiritual matters. And we
talked about last time, whenever Islam goes to a place that goes
with three things.
Primarily, it has a goes with arms, it has to go with, with with
strength, with power with an army. Secondly, and these are the kings,
the great kings and the great conquerors. Secondly, it goes with
scholars goes with all lemma that are
giving the Hoja against COVID, producing the hedge against cover,
and also
providing the people with an R theta, an understanding of Allah
subhanaw taala that that suits that settles satisfies the
intellect does not contradict it. And at the same time,
bringing forth the knowledge of the Quran and FIP and Hadith etc.
And also the souls of the people have to be nourished with Eman and
that's what Thursday is all about is these sada Hain and Olia who
are essentially nourishing the souls of people with Amen. So
that's the topic that we're on. And we have talked about in his
almondina earlier part one, and this is going to be part two, and
we may even have part three. So Part Part two is going to be about
his life, the beginning part up to the probably to one of the more
interesting things that happened in his life and he did have some
amazing things happen in his life. And I'll tell you why. They say
that if you if you sincerely read the stories of the odia every time
you read one of them, you're gonna say this is my favorite one.
Right? And that's what you're going to read when you read the
story of the zodiac. You're gonna like you're gonna want to be like
him.
And I'm telling you, we're gonna be like him inshallah.
Not as necessarily as an individual but what he did. Were,
we have something very similar that we could possibly look and
give us as a gift. If we stay sincere and you'll you'll
understand what I'm saying. Okay, when I read this, so what it comes
down to everybody who's on YouTube, Hamza H. Bas Harris,
Aslam, Muzammil Sarfraz.
And on Instagram ofa magician, magic moment Serega a marine Sena
Mohan.
Alright, let's start off with our
sponsors. And they are Mecca books.com. And by the way, Mecca

Next is up professors one to one.com. If you need to study
anything, if you need to
get tutoring, you go to professor's one to one.com. After
that, this summer term is coming. And we're going to have classes
again, a whole long list of classes at ARC view dot orgy. And
that's where our online classes are, what we're trying to be as a
moving Dao that has certain things to it and boom classes. They're
all there arcview.or pre recorded classes and live classes. So and
it's very affordable. It's more affordable than any other
institution that you can go to on site or online. And then lastly,
patreon.com backslash Safina society and that's how you can be
part of this. And I see, you know, every once in a while, it pops up
that somebody is you know, supporting this podcast or this
live stream that we're able to do and sit here four times a week
Monday through Thursday. At
Of course, there are vacation times that are off. But Monday
through Thursday, we're here and just talking to people, anybody
who wants to talk and wants to comment on YouTube. And that was
really one of the things that say that the mom and her dad said,
is wedge it, that some people who are involved in knowledge have to
do this and have to go out. And I, you know, always enjoy talking to
strangers and talking to different people. So with that, and then
after a while, they don't become strangers anymore, we get to know
them. And sometimes they take classes. So we see them again in
the class sessions. So with that, let's now turn to the life and
times of Nizami Dean Elliot starting from the beginning. All
right, and he's on with Jean. Oh, Leah was born an orphan. That's
the first thing now. He was born pretty early in the time of Islam
in India. Okay. And he was born in the, in terms of Islam in India
when it's spread. So of course, it was in sins, which is north India
pretty early on.
But the spread took a long time. And his time in history is from
600, after the hijra, so he was born 636, after the hijra, and he
lives in that century across the rest of the seventh century, the
six hundreds into the seven hundreds, okay, so he was born
to as an orphan, you did not have an older brother. He didn't have
anyone but his mom and his mom is a very, very righteous and pious
woman. And she raised him upon Eman from the get go. And they
were extremely, extremely poor. So how did she
she raised her money men, they were so poor, that it was quite
often that they had no food. There was no food for them to eat. It
was very often that they didn't have any food. So she would say
let's make dua that Allah give us something send us a guest.
All right, Allah for Allah to send us a guest. And then being that it
was a small town and a little village and people were
considerate that she is a widower, or a widow. widower is when a man
survives his wife, but when a woman survives her husband, she's
a widow, out of mother and she has a child so people would come and
they would give her food. And this would be like new because it would
be different food every time a different person would knock on
the door. And he would slowly he had become firm that Allah and
just drop. You see how important to us. All right. It's so
important that Allah answers do that this concept and this idea
why did this live video and uninstall.
restarted? Okay?
No, no, no, it's still me here. And
my video ended much weird.
Well, it's just that every time he would someone would answer and
someone would answer the door. It would fill his heart it would put
down his heart that Allah and just do it. So you see the importance
of dua in the life of a Muslim. I'm telling you the issue of DA is
as Allah subhanaw taala called it a burden, Alenia scicluna Neva
Aditi those who are too arrogant to worship me. So he said, and
this is after saying Adonia said Gibler can call upon Me I will
answer you. So the importance of dua as being literally it is the,
the soul of the deen and the crux of your Eman is always related to
do up. And if you look at the life of a regular person,
their life is their life of faith. It always grows around the moments
in which they made dua, it's like a pillar. Right? And the prophets
I seldom said da moko labored it is the brain of a bed or in the
one in the other
meaning of that the marrow the bone marrow. Okay, so if this so
not just the skeleton of your Eman, but the bone marrow, which
is what's inside the bones. All right. So that's so important. All
right, the essence of how he was raised was upon for the most
important things food, which what does that also mean? He was he was
hungry all the time. Right.
Do we need to start if we need to start the whole thing? Just let me
know.
Instagram for me.
Let me check. Let me just close out I'm sure check it
yeah, now it's
alright. So
it's the it's the crux of everything is that his stomach was
always empty.
And that's there's usually a lot of
good things related to that. I mean, how many prophets when we're
hungry, how many Sahaba early on there.
or training was hunger. But also when he ate it was always the
result of. So one time, they had some money, and they bought some
corn. So now like they're doing things themselves, and they would
eat corn every day, until he got tired of corn and he told his mom,
I liked the old, the old ways where we never had anything and we
would just make dua and the food would come. And he continued on
this way until his mother advised him now to save up some money. And
she did it. She saved up some money. And she took him as a teen
to the shoe.
And what she did, she saved up some money. She bought a piece of
cotton. And she wrapped that that strip of cotton around his head.
Okay, so his first contact and life is a woman of so much Amen.
And love of the symbols of religion and love of the deen and
dua. Okay, she there's no record that she was like a hadith scholar
Hafez of Quran, no, but she had a strong connection to Allah through
dua, she puts a turban on his head, and now you go and you start
studying Arabic. And you start studying. And that's where he
goes, Okay, so he goes to Dean and Zuli. And she starts studying
caduti, which is Hanafi, phip. Get, and nonetheless, they were
they they continued to live in extreme poverty. But there was a
man who came. And he described a scholar named Dean, Zachary l
molteni.
And he described a scholar that, that he had a monastery, right,
which is like, a Conca, whatever you want to call it. It's
basically it's a, a work, it's an endowed place. And sometimes it's
private property. These places they could be either one.
But it's not a public Masjid in that it does not offer Eid. Sulla
does not offer Joomla in many cases, right? If it's too small,
but it has it offers the five prayers. There's a kitchen there,
and the students live there, and the sheikh runs it
from start to finish. And it couldn't be private, closed if
they wanted to. You see this this best, this institution has always
existed in the Islamic world, where it's semi public, it's not
like a masjid that you can't deny people from going to the masjid.
Right. And the masjid has to do certain things such as offered
title, we offer certain prayers, you know, as we mentioned, ad they
should actually always be in a garden outside or in the desert
outside. But it's always offered in massage to in the absence of
these
landscapes in the cities. So this is an institution different from
the masjid called its con, we're gonna call it a conda. rebuilt in
Yemen, they call it robots in the old days, and the Turks used to
call it a Hanukkah and the Persians used to call that that
word to
they used to have the word tech a sometimes they call it Madras in
the early times, Madras a place of Gerasa. But the shared rules it,
the students live there some Sheoak live there, too. And the
chef Institute's his policies there. And he teaches the students
and oftentimes they have a kitchen there, the students eat from it
and the poor eat from it. And this was the first time he heard of
such a building, right, and such a place. And oftentimes the shoe
they institute their own rather their own odd meaning after before
Feds you recite this ad to hedge it everyone wakes up at after
Phaedra we read these of God, at load, we have these classes that
he Institute's his policies.
Okay. And then there's a special time for guests to come in this
institution of these tech gays or Honda cars or tech, whatever you
want to call them has existed in the Islamic world for centuries.
And it's been the source of so much goodness.
Why? Because the masajid they became so huge. And you can't No
one has the right to just Institute his policy on the
message. Right? The message is is a different institution. Now you
may say and someone may say Well hold on, what did the Prophet
have? Did you have one of these? Or do you have a message? No, you
had a masjid? Well,
there's a difference in the time of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam, when things were not specialized, at a time when things
are let me give you another example. The province is Salam.
He nobody knew the prophet from anybody else, in terms of the
close of the messenger PSP, Bong. And yet, when we fast forward all
of the Imams, there's like a code amongst the scholars of Imams,
scholars and Imams that the scholars should have a certain
type of garment in every culture
That signifies him like that people know he's a scholar why?
Why was that like a policy? And why was it illegal to wear the
clothes of a scholar when you didn't have ijazah? Simple reason.
Because if everyone went around wearing a big turban and a nice
big garment that would that's known for scholars, the common
people would ask fatwa from those who don't know. So it was in many
cultures, and in many societies of Islam, not allowed to wear the
clothes of a scholar. I remember reading in Fez, if you were a
talkative L, you could wear a turban up to four wraps, or if
any, if anybody could wear a turban up to four wraps. The Mufti
is only those who had ijazah for federal only could wear the eight
rep turban, eight reps, and they should wear that signifies it, if
you go to the hospital.
The guy wearing a white lab coat and with a stethoscope on his
neck. If a man or woman are wearing that, that's the one that
you know to ask medical advice from. If I went around a hospital
wearing with my name here, and a stethoscope and scrubs, good.
That's illegal going around answering people's question if I
work if I weren't a police outfit,
and just walk up and down the street with a baton and and a
police outfit is that allowed? It's impersonating an officer,
right? It's a crime. Because we know we can go to the officers for
help, they can help us they have the legal rights elbows. So
scholars then. So when society became segment,
we have a standing army. It's not just any old farmer goes in
defense, we have police, we have doctors, society became segmented
and specialized, then every profession should have its own
garment.
So that's just a sign that in the time of the Prophet certain
things, or certain ways, because of how simple their society was.
But as things progressed different buildings for different purposes.
So when he heard about Zecharia, Multani, they said that the Sheikh
was so godly or Benny, godly meaning would have been it so
we're allowed to use that word, meaning that he is so close to
Allah to Allah, that he's created such an environment where the
atmosphere of sanctity enthusiasm, for studying enthusiasm, for
eagerness for a better, so much so that the servants, the servants,
who were just there to work,
where their tongues never stopped in the remembrance of Allah. And
when they had spare time, they were remembering Allah. Okay, so
he create, he created this environment. Now you can do this
in a place, if there's an inflow of that for those forces, which
would decrease your him, right? If there's a constant incoming flow
of certain forces that would decrease your hem, right, and
decrease your enthusiasm. You can't create that enthusiasm, and
that enthusiasm, it builds like a headquarters and it spreads out to
the rest of the city. Okay, so this was the first time that
shipping is Ahmedinejad Lea had ever heard of such a building of
such a place that you would go and so what's what's an example in
local life? You, you come across all sorts of people who have no
interest in the dean, they decrease your him, him is your
energy and your enthusiasm, right? And so you need a certain place
where that doesn't happen, where the enthusiasm is constantly being
stoked like a fire. And everyone's supporting everyone else in this.
So that's now when he heard about it.
He was moved. But then the guests he said, I went from the Chanukah
of behead Dean Zachary al Multani. I want them to share hula Islam
Khawaja ferry to Dean and they call him soltanto Elia. He is the
king of Elia. And then he went and then and he started speaking about
the Chanukah of 32 D. And he said, that's who my heart became
inclined towards. And so I started to love
for ease of Deen, in the back of his mind, he said I love for the
two Dean. Okay.
But he never met him yet. Now time passed, and he spent three and
four years studying in the busy city of Delhi. And Delhi was the
capital city of Islam in India at that time. He goes there to the
big city, and he's a student and what does he get known for? He
gets known for being a great debater.
He became he becomes called the killer of gatherings. Why?
It was the the killer of gathering says, Whenever people would gather
and debate, he had such a profound expertise on logic, mucked up and
language, that he would destroy everyone in a debate. So in the
world of, of the cities, and that's what these cities are like,
you sit around, you talk, right? And you have these debates, and
cities gather all sorts of people. Unlike, let's say, a farmland or a
suburb, nobody goes there, right? So traditions develop in these
places, and no one questions these traditions, but the city,
it always attracts all sorts of people. And it brings new ideas.
So ideas are always clashing in the cities, like when I when I
lived in London, every kind of idea is in London. And then you go
out and visit a friend, let's say in Blackburn, and there's a
neighborhood in Blackburn, that neighborhood, people don't usually
go there, right. It's not like no one's traveling to go live in
Blackburn. So traditions settle. And local Imams, local leaders
establish certain norms. And the connection between people is a
family connection. So you don't want disruption. And so you find
traditions, or established customs and traditions, good, bad or
otherwise, but its customs and traditions are established in, in
those cities in those off further away, say, towns and villages. But
in the cities, it gathers all sorts of people, just like here,
New York, right? I remember there was an imam. And this Imam is open
to all sorts of nonsense. It's almost like I don't even talk to
him. He came to our parts. And he was so surprised that we have
like, we have traditions here. We all believe the same things,
right? And we're doing the same thing. And he was like, a little
bit shocked. He's like, out of his place. I was like, Yeah, we're not
like you guys and Hatton. With every single type of idea. And you
guys have to tolerate that we don't we have we know what's true.
We believe what's true. And this is what the messages are based
upon. And if you don't like it, tough, simple as that. Go
somewhere else. Right there. There has to be at some point, like a
line being drawn. Otherwise you go crazy. And also, cities are not
places where family some of the city mosques are not places where
families are raised. So you can be open to new ideas. You're all
youth. You're all adults. But once you have a place where people are
raising their kids upon this message, there needs to be
trustworthiness and predictability. I'm dropping off
my kids to you guys to summer camp when they're going to high school
events. Tomorrow, we have a tweens event for middle schoolers only at
the park, right.
People are going to drop their their sixth grade or seventh
graders off, there needs to be predictability. They need to know
exactly what's being taught. And don't shake, don't rock the boat.
Okay, because otherwise I can't trust you. So. So he's now in the
city. And he's witnessing all this and he becomes a great debater. So
much so that it becomes famous for that. And he starts memorizing
poetry and literature. And he memorizes these books, so much so
that later on, it's just like, the arts right? Later on. He makes
Toba from that. And he says I wash out my brain from all that
nonsense by memorizing Hadith later on in his life.
So he had memorized McCobb parts of Muhammad had Ed, which is, how
to do poetry, and how to the different McCombs, and the
different rhymes of poetry and these types of things. So it's
basically like going to New York and being in the art crowd, right.
And then realizing after some period of time that you just
wasted all your time. Right? Now,
Nizar Medina at this point,
he's with his friends, they're all people studying, they're studying
the dean, right. But something inside of them is not right.
Something inside of them is really upset, is not settled.
And although he says all my friends were righteous, we were
pious, studying the deen and moving on with careers, you
studied back in the day and then you took a career on somewhere
with the state right. So you were Akali you could move into
administration right and studying back then, it was not sacred
knowledge was not like segmented like in today's world where you
study the deen and you wonder well, what am I going to do in
society? No. When you studied back then you studied language. You
studied multiple languages by the way, India especially there
studied Persian you studied other languages. You studied logic.
Okay, learn how to use your intellect. You studied the Quran,
and you studied Hanafy law. That was the law of the country to
write. So when you imagine studying
Philip, that is law school essentially.
Alright, so your Islamic study the study study is the study of the
other place. When you studied mathematics, there was not an idea
that Okay, now we're studying DNA. Now we're studying math. No, it
was all mixed as one. Okay? So these Gemma's these places of
studies, they, they were places of the secular and the sacred. Now,
the next step now
is that you can get a job. So the motive of these students is pious,
but also it's very realistically in the world. Right. And he, at
the same time, he said, Something inside of me, I just wanted to be
alone. He a phase reached him. And he said, here, I would remain, I
felt agitated. I would feel agitated. And I told my friends
that I would not remain with them for a long time, and I would go
away. So something inside of his heart was not settled yet. Okay.
And you could imagine that we're going to have Islamic colleges.
What justifies an Islamic College? Wouldn't the just the main
justification for an Islamic college be the idea that you can
get a great job from this, right? The moment you say that, aren't
you at that point? Setting up a worldly purpose and intention?
Right.
So it as halal as it can be not only halal, righteous.
And don't you see you that when when people say, Oh, you're gonna
make an Islamic College? Oh, are you
is, are you accredited? They ask that question. Oh, yes, we're
accredited. Oh, yeah. Well, what, what's your students like? So and
so students so and so graduated, and now has gone to medical
school, so and so's graduate now go to law school, graduated,
chosen to go into a Samak studies PhD somewhere else, all that is
headed and good. But it is nonetheless something of the world
where students are taking this. And now the motive, it seems the
framing of the whole thing is you go there for to get as a stepping
stone to your occupation. And that's the school that he was in.
Okay. And that's the environment that he was in. So now they're all
graduated. And they're all getting different jobs. And now he's
hovering in his 20s. He's in like, in his early 20s. Alright, but
he's agitated. He's not happy. Something inside of him is empty.
So one day, he goes over to his mom, and every new moon was the
time that the students would visit their parents. That was the time
off. So he was visiting his mother. And his mother was so
pious, she was one of really almost maybe she was one of the
earliest she said to him.
Next New Moon, who are you going to visit?
So he took that and realized that
my mother is going to die.
And he became upset that night. Next morning, he says, Well,
who's going to be my guardian after this? Okay. Who's, who's
going to? Who do I have after? Who do I have beyond this? This is the
only person he has in his life. So tomorrow, I tell you, next day,
he's still visiting his mom, outside of Delhi. And his mother
calls him and she holds his hand.
And she says, she puts her hands up and dua, guy while holding his
hand. And she said, Oh, Allah, I entrust this young man, son of
mine to your care. So again, it's Imen
completely trusting and ALLAH SubhanA, which ALLAH and he said
that I was so happy with that, and so contented. And he said, I
didn't expect that. That's, that's not what you expect. But she
passed away shortly thereafter, now he's completely empty. Like he
has nobody in his life. Alright.
And they start applying and all of his friends start getting jobs.
And he says to his teacher, I want to apply to be a colleague, now
who's his teacher? His teacher is the cousin of Fredo Dean Hawa,
they say Khawaja as like, say, Sir, mister, whatever, for either
dean. And
his name was Najib with Dean Motorwagen. All right. And
he was his
brother, sorry, 32. Dean's brother. And he said helped me get
a job as a kadhi. And as any young man know, as pious as he is, he
wants what his others are getting a post here in the administration,
a post there. She's like, I want to be called the judge. So the
shift stayed silent. And he's pushing him to come on, helped me
get a job.
up, talk to your friends. Finally, his teacher.
He shook his head. He said you shouldn't be a judge.
What I advise you to do is go to my brother and agilon It's a city,
a quiet city agilon And he starts remembering Yes, I'd love for you
to Dean. I've always wanted to be Ed, but he never connected the two
that this is that my disquietude, my empty feeling that that's
what's going to be the solution. So he accepts this. And he goes,
and he starts to sit at the gatherings of free to Dean and he
noticed for you to Dean Okay. Every time he would start sitting
in his gatherings every time the students would be late or
something or they wouldn't come fitted to Dean says, are you okay?
Are the classes okay? Is it my fault that it did I do something
wrong in the classes? So he was almost like,
like differential to the students. But the Zama Dean, he never missed
classes and he would always keep him next to him. Right? He would
always keep him next to him. And slowly in his Alma Dean started to
rise in his eyes. He started to serve him. He started to be a
great example for him. Right? For the other students. Every time new
students would come he would show them the way. Right. So he started
to excel in the followership of 42. Dean, he would do the prayers
he lived there, okay. He would do that a Baghdad that they all did
together. So far, either Dean made him a room, he made him a special
room, okay. And he treated him very well.
Now, in his Alma Dean, he said, he said to the chef, he said, I want
now to terminate my studies, I want to do Eldad and vicar all day
in on it.
And for the to didn't realize that he had such a voc. He had such a
love of vicar that, that even the shitty studies to him became a
hardship he just wanted to be immersed in the Dhikr of Allah all
day and all night.
And he set and shift for the two Dean said to him, a man Deacon, an
avid can never be free of classes. He must be studying. But seeing
that you basically having such a hard time doing anything except
remembering a lot, I will teach you myself. So he sits and he
teaches them the classes himself and he finishes the curriculum. He
said there were some books, and some hymns of Quran that I hadn't
done. And some books of zoo that I haven't studied. So they started
out if admired if they studied other books, and he started
teaching him Quran, memorize the Quran with him. And he said, you
have to do both, you must be do vicar, and you must study the
shittier. And so he taught him himself until he almost finished
now, at some point, it was very clear that it was very clear that
Nizamuddin was the selected student of fuddy duddy. It had
become clear he's giving him private lessons everything. And
one day, they were studying out if in mind, if spoken to self
is good, etc.
And every day that for you to deal with read the book was so old, and
it was written in bad handwriting. It was written by a scribe who was
old. So the handwriting was was old bad because the man was old.
He was maybe shaky. The paper was coming apart. And the
the Zama Dean innocently says, Oh, by the way, your brother, najiba
Dean, he has a better copy. I can go get that.
Suddenly 52 Dean looks up at him. Okay, stands up at him. And he
says,
What happened to your manners out now?
Sandwiches fit is what?
He was shocked by what's wrong with that statement. He said, I
just didn't think of them. So your brother has another one. I could
go get that. All of a sudden for you to Dean completely
transformed.
expelled him
expelled. I'm expelled. For for what? All of a sudden he doesn't
know what's happening. His mind is spinning. His head is spinning.
Okay.
So
he leaves
and he comes back weeping.
He says should explain to me what I did wrong. I'm wrong. I'm guilty
but explained to me and I seek forgiveness out. He then went and
he spent two days
expelled outside
of the kronika out in the woods.
Right.
Coming back
I'm trying to come back and apologize. Alright, and seek
forgiveness.
And then he was given an audience with shit with the shaker.
And he said
100% Guilty, I apologize.
He not once asked the question of what did I actually do wrong? just
accepted it. I'm 100% Wrong. I'm 100% killed.
And that's in front of everybody saw that.
Immediately. For you to Dean, a big smile came upon him. And he
said, that was your final test of whether or not you're going to
lean on your ego. And this is my right and I didn't do anything
wrong. This was your final test. And here you are, you are here has
written a letter. You are officially my representative now
because maybe he saw that his time is up. And he needs a
representative and you are now fully. Yeah. And you your your
neffs is completely erased. You have no ego anymore. This person
has no end he has full trust. Because here you have a moment do
I trust?
By the way the ship he is free to expel who he wants from his
building? Right? There's nothing of the sacred law that was broken
here. It's his building. Right? It's his school. It's his time. He
could expel him he wants an expelled him. Right. Like in New
Jersey, it's an at will agreement that will state weren't out. We'll
stay in New Jersey.
Anyone who has a job? It's with the will of the owner. He does not
have to honor yet. Let's say it's a two year contract. At any time,
both employer and employee, they could say call us we're done with
but there have to be terms of breaking the relationship. Okay.
So it didn't do anything wrong on the show. Yeah, he trusted and he
put himself down. Okay. And he just came with an apology. So soon
for you to Dean said, All right. This was all
free just to your final test against your ego. And now you're
going to be my representative. And you are done here. You're done
being here.
You're gonna go to Delhi. You're gonna go back to that city.
Good.
And you're going to be a Dalia, you're going to do Tao in that
city, in the city of Dover.
So he spent a few more days. And at that time, one of his old
classmates came.
And his old classmate came now in the suit of a shake of a judge of
an administrator, whatever he was with wealth salary, now, you ever
have somebody who became a hit in college, and his other student
went to medical school, right when they meet up after like, five, six
years, the one who's in medical school or engineering or whatever,
he comes in a nice car, he's got clothes, and the Zed is like, beat
up. He's completely invalid. And he looks at me said what is that?
What is this?
What happened to you? He's like, I follow fuddy duddy. Now.
I said, you could have had a great job. He said, Yeah, but if you
taste what we have here,
then it was lunchtime. 32 Dean went and he came back on his own
with Dean went. And he came back with the lunch tray on his head.
And he was wearing like, simple like rags, basically, like regular
corpses, poor people clothes, poor clothes. And he said, What is
this? You carrying the food on your head like this? Let me take
it. He said no, no. This is how we do things. And he was very
impressed on the humility that 52 Dean instills in his students.
He put it down and then after they ate in his alma de would not allow
any of the students, his old classmates to clean up, he cleaned
it up himself and he carried it on his head. They he became so
impressed his friend became so impressed, he became a disciple to
Fatima Dnata. So this is a humility, and it's a side of Islam
that they excel that that's why they're called XO head. They're
excelled at this.
Now in Islam with Dean
is the last day that he's spending with Fatih to Dean. And he's about
to go to Delhi to start his dough, and he's not well known. Nobody
knows him. He's a young men. He's in his late 20s Now, and 42 Dean
puts his hands up and he says, Oh Allah bestow him with the strength
to become the Sultan of Delhi, of Hindustan, the Sultan of
Hindustan. Now, he does not mean the physical stuff in the sand but
the spiritual Sultan of builidng end. And then he says after a
pause, and he
said and give him a slice of this world as well that he will need to
fulfill His mission. And then Sultan, then Osama didn't he
became upset with that. He's like, Sheikh, I live here. We live so
simply, right in this little town, we live with nothing. We have no
burdens of dunya.
I'm worried now about this drought. This last part of the
duck, given the size of the dune. He said you're going to need it,
but it won't affect you.
And as we're going to see, Nizam wood Dean's his konica his
monastery is more like a royal court.
Then it is a little simple, poor konica or tech aid of the of the,
of his show. He goes to Delhi and he has a hard time in Delhi. Of
course, nobody knows him. There is no place for him to preach. He's
preaching wherever he could to whomever he could. But he goes on
day after day after day extremely poor
and had no place to live. The prices are so high in Delhi.
Remember the Mongols have come disrupted the entire person.
Cities, all the area and all those Persians all those elites, they've
come together and where do they come? They come to Delhi. So
Delhi. It's an expensive place. It's like Abdulkadir RWJ, Lani.
I've met some like
other Jayla and he went
to Baghdad. And he said he went from this small village where he
lived again with his mom and orphan went to the big city to
study and it was so expensive. And he has a famous line of poetry but
the do Medina tune button
to vehicle fee and NEFA but that is a luminous city but your your
monthly expenses are going to be so tight. God Oh no, no *
Libya, just allow sadaqa if Cairo lived in it, he can accept Zika
and you know God own is the richest man of any sort. I eat so
much so that his the keys of all his treasures and his his his
chests of gold that had to be carried by multiple people. So
it's a funny poem where he says if God who lived in Baghdad at this
time, he picks up like San Francisco today, if you live out
in California
$7 A gallon for gas you go to Target for your family. $500.
Right just supplies. That's it, you're not buying anything
special. So it's expensive. Delhi is extremely expensive. He is He
does not like living in Delhi at all. He hates the city. And he
just doesn't seem to head there. There's no There's no people doing
a bad. He finally one day sees in a mosque, a man doing a bad
he's a Turk? And he says, Did you you're a citizen of Delhi. And the
man looks at him says by force not by choice, right? Because it's
imagine Lower Manhattan trying to be as ahead in lower Manhattan,
lower Manhattan is where people are chasing their salaries, pieces
of teaching their money, right? There's no solid there. Right? So
it's not a place. He's so out of place. But he tries to preach, he
tries to talk to people, he has no place to preach. Until he finally
starts making dua. I want to leave, I want to leave, I want to
leave.
And then at some point, someone gives him a an advice, and says,
Why don't you go to a stranger, a complete stranger comes and says,
just go to a suburb right outside of Delhi. So the people of Delhi
could reach you. But you'll be in a more quiet place with more pious
people. Okay. And this is a city called VF poor. I don't know if it
still exists, maybe Ahmed you could check on your phone, if he
if for what it is today. But it's like quiet, it's right outside of
Delhi. Okay, where people from Delhi could come to you. All
right. But I mean, he asked for it did have
in a proximity enough to Delhi. And so, this this, this stranger
came up to him and said this to him. And then Khawaja Nizamuddin
brought him lunch. And the man keeps talking about how wide how
good it is to go to the eighth floor. And he says you're been a
great help. Why don't you come and eat eat with me here. And he said,
I won't eat until you promise that you're going to go to VF four so
in his Ahmadi knew at that point that this is not some straight
random stranger. This must be a sign from ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada
that that's the city I'm gonna go to. When he finally goes to via
for from Delhi. That's where he finds his success and he really
starts his down to pick up right where the it's a nicer place to
live. It's not as loud. Okay, and there all of a sudden, things
start to change for him in the door of
For add in that some of this dunya, you get a slice of the
dunya as well it starts to come true that the people of the earth
poor, it's not that popular. I'm gonna do you got an answer for us
know that maybe someone here knows where he asked for us? I don't
know, ma'am Aren't you from India
Alright, so
if you ask for is not a place that so that's where it's a rat race of
dunya it doesn't have that many Sheoak in it. So he stands out and
he starts preaching to the people and a very rich man
notices him and he says, I have a building for you take this
building.
And he gives him a gorgeous building
got so big and didn't know what to do with it. Massive Hall and rooms
all around it. Okay. And then another person listening Listen,
who listens to his speech now he has a place to speech to speak, he
has a place to start to, to preach out of and to hold prayer
sessions.
And there's someone says, You know what, let me fix up.
Let me fix up this this room for you. And all of a sudden within a
short span of time, the the sitting place, the preaching
center of Nizar Medina Alia looks like a royal court.
And the rich come and they're at all the place.
But in his arm with Dean, he never changes in his indifference to the
dunya.
And a habit develops which is the habit until the rest of his life.
Nobody comes in his almondina empty handed, they come in with
gifts. And then his Amin doesn't know what to do with these gifts.
All right, on equal says VF Corp is actually New Delhi what's
called today New dos. So as I said, it's right outside of Delhi,
right. So he went to Delhi, he hates it. But he ends up going
right outside Delhi. So all the people of Delhi come to him. Okay,
but they have to travel a little bit. So
the people come with the best gifts possible. And his building
his place becomes a place filled with stuff. So whenever the poor
people come there, they take all these gifts. They take all these
wonderful gifts, people come and they bring him food.
He hasn't cooked. So much so that his place was imagine almost like
a beautiful restaurant. And that's what sort of something gave me an
idea. People have the soup kitchens, right?
You ever go to these, any soup kitchen in a city, you feel like
you're in a high school, an elementary school cafeteria, a
middle school cafeteria, you feel like you're in a jail, it is a
dump. It's a place you wouldn't even want to stay there for two
minutes. Why? If when we do our renovations downstairs, Inshallah,
this is the example we're going to follow. Because his place was the
place the elite would want to come. And food was free. The
kitchen was going every single day, and the food was all free for
the people. But the it was so refined, everything about it, the
floor, the walls, the lighting, the food itself was so refined,
that the the rich would would have joy to come and eat with him. And
they would love to come and eat with him because it was clean. The
food was good. The place was nice furnished, and he would sit and
barely he would pretend to eat, he would barely have a piece of
bread, some vegetables, he would not indulge in much of what was
there. But he loved it so that the elite could feel
that they could go there. If the if it was a place that was a
poverty and it was miserable, then is that a good towel? The Elite
would feel uncomfortable, right?
The rich, even the middle class would feel like, I'm not really
comfortable. I want to leave. We don't like this place. So he made
so it was it happened to be that these rich people came in and they
furnished it for him. They made everything nice for him. So the
rich and the elite and the poor everyone from the top of society
to the bottom of society
wanted to be there and felt comfortable there. And of course
the poor Wow, this is like we don't go to the royal courts, but
we go to dissolve and deeds. Like we don't know what wealth means.
We've never seen the rich people's these fancy restaurants. We don't
go there but we can come here. And that's the idea that we have when
we expand this place.
The way it should be should not be like mass seating for everyone
junk and trash sucks. It should be like a nice place. Right where
some people could come in, and they could sit nicely and eat
nicely. Just because people are poor doesn't mean they're treated
like trash. And by the way, there's there's
famous
chef. He's famous on Netflix. They gave him a show for like a
documentary. Now what this guy did, he's one of the best chefs in
Europe. Because they have the Michelin stars, right? This guy's
got like three Michelin stars. Now what is he, he's an Italian. And
he married an American. And he has an amazing restaurant in Italy.
Good.
This guy is really fun guy.
He's so successful. He said, I don't know what to do now, is you
and you get so successful, you don't know what to do. He came up
with an idea. He said, Why is it that all the restaurants for the
poor are junk? He said, Why don't we make a foundation, it's a
nonprofit, you could donate to it. And he with his own money to where
it's really smart idea. He said young artists and young chefs can
come in
and all train them in how to cook the food of the of, of, you know,
great restaurant food.
And we'll try out new recipes. And the poor will eat for free.
No, like how they train you to get haircuts. What, what do they train
on? Right? Like you you there are places you can go get a $2
haircut. But it's a real guy training a kid. And you're the
experiment. Right? The experiment on your head. You're only paying
$2 Anyway, right? So he it's a training spot for new chefs,
artists to design these restaurants. And then he gets what
they call the misfits foods. You know what a misfit is, in the
realm of food.
Okay, misfit is like a pepper that doesn't that has a hole in it. A
carrot that's like crooked, like something you wouldn't serve to
the, in a supermarket. It's like a little bit, you know, he gets all
the misfit foods, so was cheap, because it's free. There's no
budget here. It's all charity. So he gets that food. And that's what
they they cook on. And they make these amazing recipes. Right? And
it's a wonderful restaurant, and the poor come in, and they sit
at a restaurant, not at a lunch table like a bunch of bumps.
Right? Like where their poverty is in their face. No, they sit at a
restaurant, and they order from the menu. Okay, and a waiter goes,
and he gets the order. And these these trained kids. So it's not
like a restaurant that New York Times is going to sit and write a
review. Right? So there's no threat, there's no concern about
like, you know, like, oh, the soup was this that other, but at the
same time, it's great food. It's creative food. And you know, these
people, they we don't really do that. On the profit side, seven
didn't encourage that. By the way, just to give you an idea. Oh,
let's make a 10 step. Pasta? No, the Prophet didn't like this
stuff. And but
Right.
Some of it is within the halal, but the Prophet in general, he
never liked that food be over the top extravagant. All right. But
anyway, that's how these Europeans do these, these chefs? Like, do
you want to take a pasta, he'll find a way to make it a 10 step
pasta, right? We don't do this, but this is what they do there. So
it gave me the idea. And someone here saying is that?
I think someone just said here that.
The
it was it was called Subhan. Allah Allah had given him a shared gem.
It was like Jana on Earth, the delegate delegate are the places
where he's buried. Right? It's like heaven on earth. So but they
played made this place, a place where the elite, and the poor
would all come. Now, he lived over the span. And he ruled, or he
managed this, this, this data or this konica.
And over the years, he became a little bit more and more famous to
the point that he lived across the span of six Sultan's and the
Sultanate was run out of New Delhi. Now, the first one didn't
know who he was, lived in died. He was so up and coming. The second
one didn't know who he was the third one,
the third, the third SOTA, and that he lived in his lifetime.
He knew who he was, and he had become somebody that in the back
of like side conversations, he's a righteous man, you go to him, you
spent time in his delegate, okay. And you visit him, okay? And he
never leaves. He does not visit the kings. The Sultan's and he
does not allow sons kings to visit him, but in the beginning, they
need to know about him. But finally they came to know about
him, Okay, and what and for them and the third king at that time,
had a high respect for him and loved him and used to say, go ask
him Do I
I asked him for his job and send him our celebs like so he just got
on the radar and where the king wouldn't go there, of course,
right? Here's where the Sultan goes is a big deal. He wouldn't go
there. But he heard about him, I'll ask him for our dua.
Next King, same thing.
until
it became common that if you're anyone of worth, he needs to get
his dog and became a think, right.
And in the same way, not to make an example of a Muslim or non
Muslim, but there is a preacher. It is an American preacher. He's a
Protestant preacher, who has taken a different avenue to preaching.
And he says, and his way of preaching his avenue towards
preaching is the idea that don't the rich and famous need preachers
to right, there's the wolf and the sheep. But the wolf needs a
preacher too. So it's a special group. They live right outside of
Washington, DC, in Virginia, to have a big home in a suburban area
where they run their operation out of and this guy took it as his job
to preach to politicians. That's it. All he preaches to his
politicians. And the way he would do this, is that every Sunday
morning, their entire organization, very rich
organization, entire organization, is dedicated to Sunday breakfasts.
And the job of everyone in Oregon when the organization is in
throughout the week, cozy up to politicians and get them invited
to this breakfast. No, it's not Sunday, sorry. It's Tuesday
morning. To like average a note nothing's going on Tuesday morning
breakfast.
At to get up politicians to come. They started with one politician
to low level. Finally, Congressman, senators, until it
became a thing he does this every single Tuesday morning, they would
have this breakfast. And then they have one annual event every year,
which many people think is a government thing. It's not. The
National Prayer Breakfast has such a vanilla name, National Prayer
Breakfast, it's it was one Sunday, a year where there was a huge
breakfast, and speeches were given. And prayers for the nation.
Right by all their supporters. I think I don't know who it was. But
one president showed up one time, they got the President of the
United States to show up.
Hmm, oh, yeah, he went there.
And they got C span to cover this event. And then every year now it
became like a sunnah for them that the President has to go there. If
you're the president, you have to go to the National Prayer
Breakfast. So much so that people like us, we think that this is a
government event. It's not right. It's run by this one preacher. I
think he died analysis on the next generation. But it's the idea that
once one president came,
Dwight Eisenhower was the first one to go. Okay. Once one
president came, it became like a dynamo, a domino effect every
President has to go. So it became to the point that if your assault
on if you're a governor, if you're in any position of authority, you
have to have some nice symbolic relationship with cogent Hazama D.
But there was one rule. He never visits you you never visit him.
Right? That was the rule.
And one of them Allah Dino Khilji, or did I get the name right.
Jalali Dina Khilji.
He was the first one. And he loved him so much. He's I have to visit
him. He's it doesn't accept kings to visit him. If you're a
governor, your kink. can't visit. You can send your letters will
make dua for you. That's it. So it No, no sugar, sugar meaning like,
like,
ability for people to accuse you. Of of being in bed with
politicians, right? You want to send him gifts, send them gifts,
and he's gonna give it away to the poor anyway. All right. So this
ship Ginetta Deena Khilji. He loved him so much, that he said,
I'm going to actually dress up and surprise him. But he needed
somebody to take him. So Amir Khusro, is a famous poet. He was a
disciple of Osama Deen odia.
And he told her miracle slow. I mean, of course, he was like one
of these, you know, every chef, he's got a guy. He's got a
disciple who's does his political work, right. This is something
Allah creates. I heard a funny statement saying, You don't become
a chef until you have three types.
You have a jurist, someone who knows the inside outs of FIP and
is respected with the full QA who has the time and energy go into
the depths of FIP
or Kalam or whatever, and he's your disciple. And then you have
someone who goes and does and has an interest in politics. And he
goes with the politicians. And he makes he has the link with the
politicians, but you don't do it yourself. And the third one, then
is a fool. Who takes who disciplines everybody like a fool.
This is so funny because you don't become a shaman to have a full
right of fools in your circle, who says, what the sheikh wants to
say, but it's too polite to say. Right? And it's almost like a
henchman, or doesn't doesn't every king have a court jester? Right?
He is someone who physically will take care of people for you.
Right? And he will say what the sheriff can't say, because he's
too polite to say, it's a funny thing. It's just a saying, right?
That this you don't become a real ship until you have these three
around you. Right? And maybe they said a fourth thing, who knows?
But
he ends up that. Amir Khusro is his man who goes to the
politicians and he mingles with them. So he's friends with the
Sultan, genetic genealogy, and genetic genealogy makes the
mistake of telling a miracle. So I'm going to dress up, and I'm
going to go and surprise the sheikh, because I have to meet
him, I love him so much. So miracles through the night before
he goes to the Zama dean. And this is, by the way, tomorrow, the
Sultan is coming. He loves you so much. He's coming. He said, Okay.
Next morning, he goes in, he visits another ship.
He goes, and he visits his ship, the grave of his ship.
So that when the Sultan came, when the king arrived, the ship wasn't
there. So then he took him to task, the king. He said to me, it
goes through what Why did you betray my trust, he said, it's
either that you see that I upset you. And I calculated maximum that
you could do is kill me. Or I betray the chef, I know, he
doesn't want to see kings. And if I betray the chef, he may make dua
against me. And then my ankle is in trouble. So I had to weigh the
harms, and near lesser harm. So of course, the Sultan laughed. And he
said, the shake is disciplines, the shake will not see a king.
Now, the next son, the cousin of the shake, of the Sultan, becomes
the ruler.
And he has no relationship with the
Medicare, right? It's just a shit he has not for or against. So
people start to whisper. And this is what happens. Hold on a second.
In his own words, he's getting too big, every rich person has to come
and visit him. Right? Every solt on comms has to love him.
And they start whispering that
he might be a threat. He's a political threat. Okay. And so he
writes a letter to test him. And he sends it with a man by the name
of his little con. And he sends it to him.
And this letter in it, it says basically, something to the effect
of you.
We need a sign of your loyalty, we need to know which side you're on.
Now, once this letter came in, it's as if in his homage, he knew
exactly what this was. That is his fame, and his power. And his
attraction of the people is so high that
the new King is worried. So he said before you even open the
letter, I know what's in it.
And he said, tell the king, I'll never threatened his kingdom with
an army. And we're making dua for him and all Muslim kings and all
Muslim people. Okay, and I'm gonna sit in my corner, and make dua for
him and the Muslims, and he could go in his palace and rule the land
and not have any. I don't have any business with him. He doesn't have
any business with me. And then the emissary says, says to him,
says that's a good answer. And he goes back and he says, You don't
have to worry about him. But then the relationship got better.
That there was a big threat. And there was an there's there always
wars back in those days on the edges, not an inside but on the
edges. And he sent a letter and he said, there's a big war coming up,
big battle coming up. And we need your draw and design with Dean
says, he replied, his reply was, this king
has had many victories. But this victory will be there. But those
past victories will pale in comparison to the next victory
that he's going to have. So he was filled with confidence and they
went in and he was oh,
We send him news from the troops. This is what our troops are doing
Baba Baba give us instruction give us dua give us thicker and he
would do that. Okay. And that was the relationship until after
that Dino kanji that was allotted dinner kanji
his second son came to the throne
and cut off. He came to the throne illegally. Gizzard Han was
supposed to be the next king.
That same emissary he was was doing the next thing. He cut them
off. And he became the next king. But he was a fool. His name is
clicked with Dean. All right, what's the Dean was a fool. And
that's what happens. That's why you have to run a country or a
company. It has to be run, it has to be simple, because one day it
will be run by an idiot. Okay, and could padeen
was a full rather than just, he got in his mind. I can't trust
somebody, everyone loves him and they don't love me. Okay, so
he says From now on all of these shields, they have to come to my
court on the first of the month, every new month, when there's when
the New Moon is cited. I expect you to all be at my court and
evident on the next day, first of the month, right? Because the
month the New Moon is cited. Next method, you're in my court, right?
And we'll have sessions, whatever, but it will be a symbol that
you're
I'm in control here. So this guy is a fool. Okay.
And so in his Alma Dean refuses to go. What he does is he sends an
emissary he sends one of the two lovers and he sends one of the
young she'll you go instead, I'm not going first month, second
month, third month could be Dean.
He's like, this is an insult. You're sending me an assistant.
You come here, message out next month, Nizar Modine comes alive or
dead. If he doesn't come alive, he's gonna come dead. That means
if he doesn't come there, right, physically, himself.
We're gonna kill him.
And this becomes a huge scandal, and huge news. And day after day,
and they ask, and people start talking to him again, just go,
save your madrasa save
your life, it's helpful for you to go now. And day passes after day
after day after day. And this crazy King and this fool. He
starts sending spies to see Is he coming or not? This idiot is
picking a fight that he doesn't have to pick because he's just
paranoid.
He's completely paranoid that someone's more popular than him.
Whereas what do you care? He's not competing against you. He's not
raising an army he's not having
he's not ruling.
Finally,
the day comes, the New Moon is cited.
And tomorrow we're going to see
who comes if he's gonna go or not.
Next morning,
the newsbreaks
has been a great death in the city. And invasion of the palace
by arrival to the throne,
has cooked through Khan has killed could padeen and beheaded him as a
rival to the throne.
And he severed his head, kicked him out and kicked up his whole
team.
So here you had the temporal King and the spiritual King.
This out of fight and oh my God, that he will he and foccacia then
to Bill herb, whoever has this animosity to one of my earlier I
announced war upon him and you're not winning that war. Okay, you're
not winning that war. This rival group came in, okay.
And
before even the night came,
of negative of that first night, Crystal con, seized the capital
sees the palace and himself directly killed. Alright. Go to
the dean. All right. Killed him. All right. So that's sort of a
climax that we're going to stop at. And next week, we'll continue
finish with part three of NISM with Dean Olea. And he does
deserve three parts because he is considered really the in the same
way that we did in McGraw Hill, who was the patron shake the
beginning of all the mess Sciacca and all of that
The spirituality sort of the fountainhead were the source of
all that, you know, for the Middle Ages of Islam was a woman and we
did the whole talk on him. Well, if in India, it's in somebody.
And then in Yemen, we're going to study eventually FLP and Mikado,
Muhammad Ali Baba, we were taking the sources here, right. And so
that is a story of his Alma Dean, Elia and Tala we next week, we
finish it in the light Allah. Okay. And
we are with the it should be that that'll be it. For that. It's a
beautiful story. It's an amazing, he's an amazing chef. He said, his
heart his visibly, he always there's always filled with dunya
because there was needed but in himself, he was a complete Zedd
and all and he did not care for power and did not compete. He did
not compete period. He did not compete with the scholars. He did
not compete with the Sufis he did not compete with the he was solely
for Allah subhanho wa taala. He did not compete for with the
kings. He did not compete with the businessman.
And because of that he was the right man. Right to fulfill this
mission, this divine mission of spreading this Eman and this Deen
to people's hearts because he wants nothing from you.
Alright, we'll stop there. And let's say questions specifically
on this topic, if we can.
People here saying that they've actually visited the old or the
delicate of
the zone with Dean in New Delhi. I wonder if there's a picture of it.
Imam says in Pakistan, his people, the justia is still alive and
well.
Abby says I don't think a fool would be appropriate. Because the
Prophet had almost no, we never said that.
I don't know if she's referring to something we said. But oops. I
hate scrolling. I just exit out of everything. Know that we just
saying that. That's the saying about scholars not prophets. That
some it's just a saying that some people it hasn't there's no
analogy to profits, of course. Right. But it is the saying that
you don't because you're not fully a shake has to have a like a court
jester basically, to say what he doesn't feel like saying. Right?
So
of course it's not going to be an analogy to profits.
Alright, what else we have
my question from Maha Massoud Elia, were always prepared for
their death and their funeral arrangements. How do you suggest
we do it? Do we take out an insurance plan? That's roughly
10k. Now that would be haram for us to take life insurance. Life
insurance is haram on two accounts. Number one, it's a robot
we transaction that ABA is money for money. I pay you 10k You're
gonna pay me X. Number two is a lot of Bay elevada
Bay Alvarado is buying something unknown. That means all right, I'm
gonna I'm gonna pay you $100. And however many apples come out this
season you give me them? Whether it's no apples at all. Or it's 100
apples, right? That's haram. So on top of that, what you're getting
back is money. So it's a Liberty transaction. And it's bad to have.
So we're not allowed to take life insurance on both accounts. Okay,
because the way insurance works is you take out a plan, you pay a
certain amount every month. And that plan is let's say for I don't
know, however, many hundreds of 1000s or whatever they approve you
for. And then you may pay something close to that you may
not right, depending on how long you live. And so you don't know
how much you're going to pay to get back this set of money. So
either way, it's money for money that's haram. And on top of that,
it's a lot because you don't know how much you're gonna pay, you
don't know how long you're gonna live. So the way that we're going
to do this, if you want to prepare is by saving.
You save your money.
Okay, save your money and have that maybe in
any type of maybe you can eventually buy an apartment. And
that money could be that apartment could be something that is
inherited to your kids after that, so that it's an investment.
Okay, next question, says wisdom MILCON Thoreau says please throw
some light I think it means shed some light
it on the Hadith that anxieties are concerned and sins are
forgiven with Salah on the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa
salam Okay, so, very simply, the prophets I sent him said whoever
is fully busy with all of their extra bed with Salah on me, all of
their anxieties will go away their concerns will go away and, and in
another Hadith the sins are forgiven with every Salah on the
prophets I said I'm 10 sins are forgiven and 10 has an answer put
on your scale. So in in the
in essence, nothing removes your anxieties better than Salah on the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, the URL Balawi the Hebei
we're going to talk about insha Allah at one one of these days
alpha p and mocha Muhammad Ali Balawi is that he is there a bed
is of course right and Quran
but after that it's like 95% salah and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sunnah even when they put other of God they mix it with salon the
Prophet. So if it's husband alone, amateur rookie it's like a long
vicar, mingling husband alone our upkeep and Salon the Prophet
yeah how you have to eliminate islands when you can consume
nobody mean of God like that mingled with it. Salah on the
prophets, I send Habib Ahmed authors, these of God mingling
everything together and always having some never you'll see him
without a salon, the prophets I send them in the middle of the
vicar.
All right, this question says,
this is part two, yes, part one, you'll see it in the left from
last week's class. How do we reach the level of these Zohar very
simply, is by loving the vicar of Allah to Allah, more than anything
else. And someone asked me about the sweetness of vicar, are we
allowed to seek it? Are we allowed to pay attention to it? And the
answer of course is does not Allah says LLB degree? Let me not Kulu
verily by the vicar of Allah, the hearts find tranquility.
And so is Allah telling us this as a footnote? Or is he telling us
Oh, you who wants tranquility in your heart, everything you want,
is to make something tranquil. If I if I want a car, I'm in anxiety
until I get that car, right? And I imagined that the car will fulfill
my anxiety, right? Like desire is a type of anxiety and imagination,
that this thing is going to quiet my soul and make me at peace and
how many times and I remember being young, I would say,
like, people would have new shoes, or new jeans, man, if just I could
have those jeans. I'm going to be so happy. I'm done. I'm all happy.
I'm all good. I'm going to be done for it. Just I can have those
skates that jersey. If I could just have that. Right. And I would
get it. Okay. And I would always get what I wanted, like 99% of the
time I get what I wanted, right?
Two months later, two weeks later, it's old. It's on the floor.
Right? hanging it up doesn't have the feeling anymore that it once
had.
right until you start realizing a pattern. Nothing will
if the sneakers didn't fill your heart, except for like, two days.
Right?
So you're gonna get these Jordans for the first time. I cannot
believe I got Jordans. Right? And you're like, you got me put them
upstairs. You look at them. You show everyone he come down for
dinner. Go right over after dinner. I'm gonna go look at them.
You go look at them again. Right? You wear them. But you don't you
don't walk with them, right? You don't want to crease them. You put
them use you put them up. You put them on the bed you put them but
eventually gonna wear them. You wear them the first day. It's like
you're the king. Second, a third.
And week two thing is shot. Right? And the first time that you scrape
them on something you're like so upset. You scrape them. What do
you say this dunya it's it's fragile. This is a headache. I
can't walk. I can't walk on the grass. I don't want to walk on the
grass. I don't I touch something. I'm ruining all my dunya. Right.
Oh, my dunya is it's so fragile. I'm actually annoyed by this. Even
as adults, as adults, you get nice shoes for like a wedding or
something. You can even walk in these things, you ruin them. And
then something falls on them or you step on something and it gets
leather beautiful leather scratched.
Dunya is a headache to maintain. It's difficult to obtain. Right?
And then when you get it, it's a headache to maintain. You start
putting a pattern together.
Right and the pattern is this is not going to be the source of your
long term happiness. It is the source of a short term happiness
and a short term I'm in heaven for like 48 hours.
was for like, maybe a week maximum, I'm in heaven. Okay?
It took a lot to get it, and it goes away quickly. So the cost and
the benefits, it's just not worth it, then you start realizing your,
your brain has to catch up, and you start saying to yourself,
there's got to be something better. And that's when you
realize Hold on a second. The Quran is free. Right? I can recite
it anytime.
Nothing ruins it, except sins. So I stay away from sins, right? But
nothing ruins in the sense that
a bird and liquor in the Sakina that comes from heavens, it's
never gonna get old. Right. And if he, if I lose it, I could just
replenish I guess up again,
with the Quran.
And it's free, I can do it at all times.
It's not like something where my thrill is, like watching or
playing sports. Okay, when the season's over, I'm in a
depression, right? How many people Ryan, did you play sports when you
were young? I'm gonna Did you
know for me, this was life.
When the season is over, whether my season playing or the season
watching it, literally the day of the season's over, it's
depression. And nothing short of that. Like, why am I putting
myself through this, you start making a connection, that's what
often means often, is to connect from one thing to the next. I made
a connection. I'm depressing myself, by putting my hopes in
something that yeah, it does make you happy, short term, and it
leaves you empty at the end. We're not gonna say it doesn't make you
happy, it does make you happy. Otherwise, it wouldn't be worth
anything. Like nobody buying this stuff doesn't make you happy. But
it also makes you and there has, there's got to be someone to fill
you up. That's free. Right? That I can do it at any time.
And it's good for me, right? And it's gonna last me until the ACA
after death. So that's where, all right, you make that connection.
And if you can work on that,
you will naturally be as I said in the beginning, in the beginning,
because your your your your past is an attachment to stuff. You
have to break your past, right? So there's the the moods and the XO
head, they're beginning is extreme. Zote, like literal,
physical, good. I remember when I was like 17, I had to sort of
prove myself to myself almost. So I'd had this DC like a Libyan
shirt. And like rags, and I would just wear that, right? Because I
could so easily go back to my old self, that loved fashion, that
loved clothes. And that was very picky on clothes. So I know if
you're an alcoholic, right? Don't you have to go to an extreme away
from alcohol? Because you can easily be sucked back in. If
you're a guy of ryba, right, you got to stay away from banks and
businesses so far, because you can easily be sucked back in. So
everyone who is Zed has to go far from what they are attracted to
from where their sinfulness was, they have to go far away from
that. There are these like players before Islam, or maybe they were
in Jaya Helia where his clubs and women.
When these guys make Toba, they gotta go to like Mauritania. They
gotta go that far away, where there's no clubs and no women for
them to chase. If you say, okay, just be a czar hit in your
hometown and say, Isn't the Hadith of the 99 He killed? 99? What did
the scholars say? 10. Does that said there's no trouble for you?
So he killed him? That's 100 people he killed? What did the
scholars say? He said, leave this town. You have to break the
association of your best so many zoo had go to an extreme of zoo
hood. Right? And then once they've proven to themselves that they are
so far from that lifestyle, they can come back. And oftentimes they
do that old lifestyle. They do it well, but it doesn't affect them.
Right? It has no effect on them anymore, because he's completely
broken his past. Okay. And that's the idea here that amendment had
dead said whoever travels on the path of zicatela the least. And
the first of his rewards is that the vicar Allah
will be for him something sweeter than all of the dunya and what's
inside of it. Right? Everything I've done yeah. And what's in it
will be
less sweet for him. So the sweetness and the Sakina that
comes down becomes our honey, it becomes we're like a bumblebee
that are we're like bears that seek that honey. Right? And
melodica like that. Don't melodica Hadith a melodica says that
there's a certain group of Malayaka in the same way that were
made of matter and we feed off of matter. We eat matter, right we're
of that
Earth we eat Earth. We're of flesh we eat flesh. We enjoy to eat
flesh what we're made out of. What are Malayaka made out of? They're
made out of newer. What's the sustenance of Annika? No. So when
Metallica see a gathering of liquor, what is the Hadith of the
prophesy? centum said you never didn't tune urgyen Mala aka to
Baba Baba Hello May Allah Hi Jessica, oh angels, there's a
gathering of remembrance of Allah come this is what you're looking
for. In the same way when we find a nice restaurant and nice burger.
This is what this is the stuff right for our bodies. Malaika when
they see gatherings of vicar, they flocked to it because they're made
of nor the Victrola being down nor, this is what you guys want
sit in this madness. So the idea here that
our Victrola the Sakina of liquor becomes our food. The only thing
that's correct is that we don't stop trying.
One we don't have the Sakina All right, that's the only thing and
the, the idea of feasts of eat Allah is I'm doing something for
Allah subhanaw taala there may be a time I have to do something that
would like negate my Sakina like what for example, like
you can't, sometimes studying does not bring you the same skin as the
what you have to study. Sometimes serving the community does not
bring the same stickiness, but you have to do it.
It's better for you. It'll protect your your bed to later sometimes
being with your family. It ruins my Sakina you have to do it. So
I'm not I have Sakina um, I have Allah subhanaw taala. But the
reward that I want from Allah, the least reward
is we want that Sakina when we do remembrance, and that is a bad
because Allah is Loring, do you think that'd be the gorilla told
me No clue by the remembrance of Allah, your heart will find
tranquility. In other words, this is what you're looking for a human
being. And it's only in my remembrance. So that's the concept
and the idea that if you start to realize that that's where
happiness is. And then you start to connect other things to Sikkim
is not just by test via there's a special subpoena forbidden by the
dean, there's a special subpoena for serving the community. There's
a special subpoena for visiting the sick. All of these are
different types. And if you're no longer tasting the subpoena,
something drunk either you're off either or since does it simple,
either you're a bad is incorrect, your RPM is incorrect. Or you have
some sins and the taste
inside your heart, it becomes a thermometer. Right? If that if
that going up, something's wrong.
Right? If if the if the mercury is not going up, if I'm not tasting
mice, if the food doesn't taste in your mouth, you must be sick.
Something's wrong with you. Right? So that's we use this as a as a
gauge, right? We use and Chef, Andromeda shahadi He came to a
young man who was doing liquor and the man was not like feeling
anything benefiting anything. He said, Is there something wrong
with your athlete and he started questioning him on everything on
appeal. He found he has a hesed and a dislike for ended bait. He's
jealous of them. He said Get this out of your heart. He got out of
his heart and all of a sudden he was gone. Right? In terms of his
benefit. All right.
Next question.
Want to take these on a
quickly
so that we can get everyone's QUESTION
All right, here we go.
I gave it seems like I gave myself away when I mentioned Jordans.
Jordans came out when I was in second grade. And or third grade,
I think second or third grade. It was Junoon to get Jordans, right
Junoon
I don't know what it's I think the Jumpman logo. It just it's like
people love it the Jumpman logo and the colors plus you want to
write and it was genuine to get logos that Jordans some people got
the Jordans some people got the knockoffs from Payless shoes.
The knockoffs right?
Yeah, yeah. And then and I would never mama wouldn't allow she'll
pay 50 $60 for shoes that you're gonna grow out of in one year.
Because if you have if you see kids, third grade, he might do two
shoes. Fourth grade he might go over to shoot so I was never
allowed to get him right until fine you
know, back in the day, there were 60 bucks and that was insane them
mouth for shoes, of money for shoes $60. And then finally, when
like I reached a certain age, then I got Jordans. Right but when your
foot when you're when you last two three years with your shoe, but in
third and fourth grade, you spend like, like one week 111 to two
months.
On Tuesday, you gotta get new ones. That's why we just get the
kid sketches. Sketches is made for parents. The company sketches is
made for $15 shoes, right with all the colors and everything, but
it's a $15 shoe, because you're gonna get two three of them every
academic year, right?
What's your opinion on qawwali? I don't really know Cohen is what in
the sheet? That's all I know what it is and the sheet right.
Carla White says What if we know how much we are going to pay? Like
the same amount in and the same amount out?
Then what's the point?
Right?
How the white is asking if I'm going to pay the same amount and
and get the same and what's the point? Put it in your own piggy
bank?
Right.
Is it true that Salawat if it said it once it equates to 100,000
times once equates to 10 times except on Joomla equates to 100
Hasn't it?
I don't know about the quality? It's in the sheet to me. That's
all I know. A koala is right? It's an ATM machine. Sinead what's
happening, man? How are you?
What do you have a half day today? We all actually work from home,
work from home.
We have Mina Zogby. I'm like wait, aren't you in school? She's like,
Yeah, I fall I do take the livestream and English class.
Can a woman visit a grave? Yes, a woman can visit grapes. It's my
crew.
For the women to attend a burial. And Malik was a little more
forgiving for women who are related to the deceased if they go
to the burial. But the Hadith of the prophets I seldom said women
don't go to the burial but the Prophet did not enforce it. If a
woman came he did not like expel her. So that's why the scholarship
mcru It isn't true for women to go to attend the burial.
And it's but if they do, there's no
they're not to be like expelled out of it. And there's it's more
forgiveness or more leniency on the one who is related to the
person.
But we should follow the prophesy Sam, it's better to follow his
advice. Don't attend burials. It's gonna really like it could really
mess your heart up.
And Allah is always looking out for the heart of a woman. You have
something to say.
Yeah,
there's
no
yeah. So me and Ryan went to a Janessa. And for brother and all
the women, they're just wailing. That's terrible.
Like stop them and have them do like group tickets. Here's the
thing if the comms then they put the imam in a hard situation it
was tough situation. What do you yell at them for crying he did
that he was like, you're gonna you're gonna get him bad deeds and
everything. And then there's also died. Yeah, and because one of the
meanings behind that is that the the deceased is upset that his
women are crying. Like he's upset by it. It's not like he's being
tortured, but, but it's in upsetness. When the Prophet said
they're tortured by your crying, it means he's upset by that. So
that's why it's preferable for them not to see the visual, even
if let's say they're at the end of the the graveyard fine. After the
Earth is covered, then they could come and they could spend time
there. That's not a problem
a woman is saying, I wear hijab, so I don't post my pictures. That
I don't without a job anymore. This is honey, but my friend posts
pictures of me without a job. Your friend is not a good friend.
You're not friends now. Yes. How are you going to be friends? You
have to tell her that you know stop posting my pictures up
without a job. And someone needs to
to get her to stop because she shouldn't do this.
All right.
So you can flag her reporter to Facebook
reported a Facebook posting pictures of me without hijab.
Abby says yeah, it's about courage, Abby says might be stupid
question but would plants nor be different than Mala acres nor the
plants?
They make just be
plants make to speak. And that's why it is something nice to have
living plants around because they make to speak nature. All of
nature's good. Like when you see nature, you feel like these
animals are innocent, right?
The plants, every tree makes us beer. So that's why it's so nice.
thing do you find plants in nightclubs
right
all you see is blue and purple lights flashing flashing metal
walls no light no plants they don't like the light obviously
they don't they put walls so that you don't even know when the light
is coming up right all these nightclubs all darkness and blue
and pink lights flashing no plants No no no nothing wholesome right
sada has there anyone who has the level of Nizar Medina at the
present time. I mean Dr. Mustafa to me when I went was the closest
to any all of these what you see in these texts, and more even.
Okay.
Muhammad is saying no, no, I mean, a funeral arrangement plan not
life insurance for a sister we accused her of trying to get
River. Right. But no, she said, funeral arrangement. Yeah, you
should get an I have a story about that one time. When we first moved
to London, there was an old British dude, right old British
man. And he used to sell what's called like the evenings mornings.
I think it was like, there was a morning newspaper, and an evening
newspaper before cell phones before smartphones. There were
cell phones, but no smartphones, you paying literally 50 cents, you
get the morning paper, and you sit on the bus or the train. Every
time this guy would see us he would make fun of us for being
Muslim. Right? And he would say Harry Krishna Hari Krishna, and he
doesn't know anything, right? He's an old British dude. And we're
like, it's just an old man. So we wouldn't say anything. Right?
Three years later,
we see we had moved, we see the guy on a bus, like, Hey, this guy
looks familiar. And he looks at me as if you guys look familiar,
right? And then he strikes up a wonderful conversation after a
whole year of yelling at us making fun of us, Harry Krishnas, Hindus,
whatever, right? I'm sure you don't. He said he would say stuff.
Like, honestly, I thought it was hilarious. He'd say, I'm not going
to offer you to buy this. I don't know if you guys speak English,
right? He's an old British dude. Who don't life has changed too
quickly for him to keep up. And he's on the old racism of the 50s
and 60s. Like whatever, I don't care less. He's half drunk. The
halftime anyway, we finally see him this the guy who harassed us
every single day for a year. And we had moved now two and a half
years, two years to three years pass. We see the guy I'm like,
That guy looks familiar. And I'm like, Oh, you're the guy from
archway where we used to live. And it's again, the old goes to sell
the paper. I remember you, how are you? How's everything as if like,
We're old friends, right? That's why I don't take seriously
people's attacks and assaults that I don't take them that seriously
when they when they're so superficial. Right? He didn't even
remember that he used to bother us for a year. So we're like, Hey,
where are you going? He said, Hey, would you believe it? I'm going to
the Undertaker's the funeral home. He's like, I got kids, I got
family. I don't want them arguing when I die. So I'm going to buy a
tombstone, gonna buy a grave and I'm gonna get my will ready to
die. Alright. And he was like, happy he was like, as if nothing
happened. Right? So old people you have to take them lightly when
they when they go crazy like that. And here's a guy who was basically
preparing for death. So yeah, so you gotta you got to prepare for
death. You have to have a will. It's got to be with a lawyer who
is a manager of your estate. You got to go buy a plot from a
graveyard. And you have to leave your your final Testament which is
your we'll see you. Right.
Which is your advice to the people that are going to live without
you.
On the topic of dua, Caitlin says some people say we should thank
Allah for accepting our dua even before we get the job but you
should thank Allah subhanaw taala for giving the chance of a dua
it's an honor for you to pray to Allah Donna.
So yes, that's that's what you need.
What happens to animals after their death, if they were
oppressed, they're actually resurrected.
And justice is served and then they disappear.
They're not given a eternal form.
FV RK says I will be in Cairo.
Where do you recommend me so?
So this person FV RK. Curtis, send an email to info at Safina
society.org So that Ryan can connect you to Haroon and Harun
can tell you who to visit and what
She likes to sit around when you go to Cairo
okay
so pay says I knew a guy used to say terrible things about the
messages, I send them sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and he actually
died a few years ago, with the same death that used to insult the
messenger with well
dealt with to Mba is going to be 10 times worse than though to the
odia. So it's not a smart idea, we should always make dua for our
children especially. So there is an idea that we do something for
everybody. But specifically, for the for set group, our children
needed a lot more, we have to always make dua for the youth.
Plus, if the youth are good, then when we get older, it could be
more relaxed. Right? Because these are the people who are going to be
guiding your children. They're going to be influencing your
grandchildren and raising the next generation. It's terrible for some
of the elders of our Ummah, that they got older and the youth got
worse. So they leave the world and the homeless is not in good hands.
Unequal says is it that we can't will more than 1/3 of the entire
property. You're not allowed to in your will, you're allowed to take
1/3 of your wealth and
make it a bequest
to a non inheritor, a non inheritor meaning a friend, an
organization, a cousin, a step by step child, a foster child to live
with you up to 1/3 maximum.
Okay.
Shockwave, I noticed there's a trend, a lot of great shifts in
history repeats persecuted? Yes, because they're the proof of
Islam. They're the proof of Amen. And how do you how do you reveal
their true colors? Allah sends a tyrant or an oppressor, to pull
back to safety and security. And so you show the world that they're
going to remain firm that their roots are firm. Okay. That's why
Abu Hanifa
he was jailed. Malik was struck.
He was he was punished. Right. And he was in as a chef. He was taken
to court and accused of theft. Sorry, accused of rebellion in
Yemen. And he was taken all the way up to Baghdad. I might have
been humble. Of course, he's the most famous for how he was
persecuted.
Cybrary says, What should our attitude be to the non Muslims who
visit Islamic graveyards as a place of spirituality and, and
solace? We should say that's a proof then. Right? You're a proof
you're benefiting from us. So maybe you should believe it.
Because we do hold that the graveyard of the Muslims is a
slice of paradise. It is the graveyards of Muslims is a piece
of paradise. So it is a place of Sakina.
All right, next question here.
Is there a difference between a male and female will? No but the
inheritance does not the inheritance does not differ except
the husband first wife. That's the only difference. Okay, that's the
only so spouse there's no category called spouse you have to specify
husband or wife and the husband will inherit more than a wife.
Why?
Because he has dependents because the shittier obligates him to do
more. The shitty I will obligate a husband to spend that money in
certain places. when the wife receives the money, she's not
obligated to spend a penny of it. That's why same thing with sons
and daughters. sons will inherit double their daughters. Oh, that's
oppressive. No, it's not oppressive. It's oppressive to
your standard, which means nothing to us. It's fair, because the
Sharia obligates men to spend more money than women. A woman a
daughter who gets inheritance she has to spend it on nothing. She
doesn't have to pay her own rent her own lights her own food, her
own clothes, her own security. If a son inherits, he will have to
marry and he will have to spend on all of his wealth on on his wife
and his kids and his mother if she has to or a sister if yes to so
that's why the Cydia
gives him more because it obligates more.
How do we manage to reach zoot while having a job?
The zoo today is not by not having stuff. It's not by not having
stuff. The Zoa today is that you don't love that stuff more than
you love the remembrance of Allah
that this stuff will never sway you from your a bed and your admit
to the OMA. That's the result. And sometimes getting rid of stuff is
merely a phase in that process. If you're too addicted to something,
let's say you have an addiction to cars, some people are like that
some people have addiction to watches they buy these ridiculous
watches. Okay ridiculous watches $25,000 Watch. I mean, that's
haram to me not mcru Haram 25,000 Oh, it's an investment.
There's a resale market for this stuff. I didn't know this.
Alright, maybe it's so
if he becomes as he wants to separate his heart from that, it
makes sense. At some point, he's going to need to separate his body
from that. So he goes 10 years without buying a single watch. No
watch at all right? Until it's totally out of his system. I can
understand that. So sometimes, to the thing that we're attached to,
we need to cut completely, but we will never need to cut from
everything. Right.
Sadie says, can you talk about Nesmith Dean Cobra and Charla we

Can I be medically in fifth and match odd and awkward? Yes.

If the scholars core is a normal person core is
an onion, meaning he doesn't know stuff. You need a fool to deal
with the common people make sense, right? If when a scholar becomes
so refined, he may not know how to talk to common people. Like I
liked the scholars who know how to talk to the common people. It's
fun to watch. Right? There was recently a Syrian scholar who got
bullied on Instagram, you also know that
he's a Syrian scholar.
Yeah, our Herbie came up to him Salafi. He said, Oh, you are shift
sounds of the city has taken a walk in Turkey. He said you are a
moped at a Euro Kaffir I worship Allah by believing that you're a
calf and my worship to Allah is to make tech for you to view and the
shift just politely walked away. Right? And they said look at the
dignity of the chef. Dignity is nice. I also like toughness, I
would have no I would have loved it to see the shit. Like actually
take the guys fall and break it on his head. Right? Put him in a
headlock. I would have loved it. Why not? Right? Why not? I would
have loved to see that. I love to see a share who's also knows the
ways of the streets.
Right? Many shoes are very dignified. They don't do that.
They would never do that. Allah will send them somewhere to do
that. Okay, but I would have loved to see
something like that. Yes.
Like, like he's being harassed by other people. Why not?
Why not?
Yeah, of course. Why not?
Like, I don't know. I feel like it's almost like in general, like
in the West and Just portray the process. Oh, he was always
preparing always. La.
Like forbearing. And like always forgiving, like letting things go
boy. So like, the prophets I sent him also he was always forget
forbearing always forgiving. But did not the Prophet also tell us
to take example from his companions? Right? And where there
are many Sahaba
who defended themselves, right, and humbled the people in front of
them. So my intention, I'm going to do the amount of favor. Because
if I allow him to harass me, isn't he going to harass the next person
to so I don't see it and we'll teach him a lesson. Right now
remember what we don't have the the skin should not break and the
bones should not break. That's what I get everything up to that
point. Right? Not going to break your skin. Right? Or break your
bones.
I would love to I'm not saying I could, in all cases, you could be
overpowered. But in some cases, it would be nice to see sometimes
some of these people get a taste of their own medicine.
Can you please talk about the nuts of nd origins? All right, we could
do all those in sha Allah. Allah. All right.
