oh, Mina shaytani R rajim Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim Al
hamdu lillah wa Salatu was Salam ala Rasulillah while he was
suddenly human Well welcome everybody to the nothing but facts
live stream. We're back after having not having a live stream
for a long time. But there's a reason and we got a new studio.
You might see it you might not, but we're going to show you all
the pics later when it's 100% We're now at our studio. This is
like a soft open of a restaurant. So we're at 90% Ready, but we have
a gorgeous new studio pictures will be released of our studio
later on when we're at 100% But right now we're at 90% Ready for
our new studio. But anyway, this is not about studio this is about
trying to learn something and get close to a law and make use of our
time here in the right way and I'm going to speak to you about an
area and about an individual his name was better. Even better our
he's an amazing story which I talked about somewhat while but
there's so many different talks and so many different communities
so many different places, that they're all mixed up in my head I
can't remember when I talked about what the in the livestream Jamaat
mbyc or what have you, but it all comes from spirits out of Surah
number 175 and number 171 76 All right, what do I let him never
Alevi Tina who is enough and Celica minha Canada Nova wind,
okay, this is so heavy because it's pretty scary. Yeah, about a
man who he was special. Okay, he was special in the sight of Allah.
And he lost all of it. So how was he special in the sight of Allah
and lost all of it, because it can happen to anybody. And it's really
scary when you see she you
are great people, and they lose everything. And these stories are
so important that we have to make sure that we never fall into them,
and you have to learn their lesson. So even our best tells us
about this. Even our best tells us that this man this guy had come
down about a man who had a situation that no other person had
before him. And his name was but um, the Ibn bear or or been by our
they differed on his name. But he was a man from a people called the
jump badeen And these were a tribe that lived adjacent to the Benissa
eat and he became one of the best disciples of Sedna Musa Allah He
set up. Okay, so what are we an ally of Nebuta Radi Allahu Anhu I
know Kennametal can only in some say he was a Canaanite. What have
you he was from Benny Slade wasn't doesn't matter. Those are
irrelevant details. However.
Sedna, Musa alayhis salam, he sends this man after years of
training and he trains would say no Musa for years and years and
years on end, until he reaches a MACOM in which he knew how to call
upon Allah subhana wa Tada in a way that Allah would answer all of
his job. So anything that this man said his route would be answered.
Okay, so he knew and allow them.
And he was mudgeeraba data 100% as he makes a deal out for something,
it happens. So save no Musa, they sent him as a excellent disciple
of his, he sends him to these people to go give them Dawa. And
he's given them dough. Yep.
And as they try to resist the Tao of Musa they know, if they resist,
Musa is going to come by force.
And he's going to be angry, and they know that they can't handle
Musa himself. So what do they do is they start luring this young
men, and they sit and the king says, I'll marry you to my
daughter, I have a beautiful daughter, I'll marry you to my
daughter.
And he starts rejecting it at first. Now remember, the first,
when you first get a wave of something you always reject.
But then you're gonna get a second wave, the test is not just on the
first wave, the test is on the second, third, the fourth, the
fifth wave once that thing starts pecking away at you. And so you
have to remember that because we get tested on a matter one time is
not really the big deal. It's when we get tested. The second and
third and fourth wave of something, our reaction starts to
differ. First of all, you get tired of rejecting it. It's not
easy for your body to be receiving a message and your mind to say I'm
rejecting it.
Eventually, you're going to be tired of rejecting. So you're
going to see it, you're just going to pass it by and then eventually
you're going to see it. And the question might start coming into
your mind of well, what if, what if we did this well
But if we accepted that what it what would life be like if this
happened? So you have to really always wonder and worry, you got
to worry about ideas that peck away at you. And this idea
definitely picked away at him. And he bought the daughter, and he was
so enamored with their beauty.
And that he married her and he accepted. And he said, I'll drop
the Dawa. I'll drop this invitation to the dean. All right,
that said, No, Musa sent me with and I'll take your daughter, marry
your daughter, because he had never come near anyone as near as
beautiful as her.
So then
time passes, and he's just living amongst them. And he's wise, he
has wisdom. So he shares his wisdom, but he doesn't call them
to, to eat. He doesn't write letters better or send messages
back to say animals. And I'll say Dan was just getting worried. Did
they kill him? What happened? So he said, somebody said, No Musa
send somebody and that person comes in, they found, lo and
behold, the guys changed sides. Say no. So he's there. He's living
happily. He's married to the daughter of the king. And he's a
prince. And he's changed sides completely. And Satan was just
Alright, let's go. Bring the army they bring out saying the Musa
goes with his armies.
And he gets there. And the people say to him, the king system, go
make dua against Sedna Musa
and say no. And he says, Are you crazy? I'm not going to make you
want to destroy me, I'm not going to make dua against a prophet.
That's gonna be my death sentence if I make dua against a prophet.
And so
they continue to ask him again, they realized that this person, he
weakens over time and the lesson on this person is see the thing is
we don't read these lessons just to look at them.
These lessons are made so that we can realize what in ourselves do
we have in that? And what in our environment is in the antagonist,
you have a protagonist and an antagonist. So from the
protagonist, reason that ends up not being a good guy, his end is
not really good, is that he's somebody who's very strong at the
moment. But then as time passes, he wickets.
And the antagonist here is a group of people who, their, their what
they ask is so ridiculous at the moment, but when they keep asking
it, it starts settling in people's minds. And that's exactly how
shaitan operates. Is that as something where you think is
completely outlandish, but when it keeps pecking away at you, and he
keep going and keep going, they weaken? And how many people are
like this when certain things that we can't even say, you get
canceled off of Instagram and Twitter if you say these things,
right. But if you go back only 20 years ago, or 10 years ago, and
you suggested it to a Muslim, he would laugh.
It was gonna be one of those things that every single Muslim
agrees up. I mean, every single Muslim he used to be agrees on the
Palestine issue, for example, right? You go now and all of a
sudden, some of this is controversial. Subhanallah I mean,
the if y'all remember the gorilla, what was it? What was that girl's
name? rhombi. There's like indramat, killing her aamby was
bad, and that all of a sudden, but when when there's a war in Gaza,
it's like, well, we need to discuss it because they also fired
some missiles too. Right? It's like, that's up for discussion
now. Okay, so certain things start off as HTML. Like there's there's
a complete community wide agreement. I'm saying it's man in
a linguistic sense. There's community wide agreement that
there's no discussion on this subject, but give it time. And all
of a sudden, the controversy, the thing that was completely no
discussion, it's a controversy. No. Well, you can't even say it.
Right. You can even in certain there are some politically correct
Islamic environments, right, where they care so much about being
politically correct. You can't even say it certain things, or
just 20 years ago, we all agreed every single Muslim agreed on
that's the lesson from this guy, this man.
He No, it doesn't matter how pious you are or how pious you look. As
time progresses IBLEES will peck away at you and peck away and he
will start eroding. What was a guarantee? No brainer. Okay, no
discussion, no brainer, absolute agreement that started start to
peck away at you. Right. I mean, the idea the obligation of
believing in the Prophet peace be upon him. I remember a couple
years ago, that became like a controversy, that to be a Muslim
to be saved on the Day of Judgment. Either you didn't hear
about the Prophet peace with them at all, if you've never heard
about Islam, the the op ed in the mid school is that you're saved
completely, you're forgiven of all your sins. The week opinion goes
by a hadith that says that they're tested on the Day of Judgment. But
why the ALMA they didn't take that is because it's an airhead Hadith,
which we has this value, but in the Quran is not an abode of test.
Same. And that will not condemn why Debian had said about that
assuta We don't punish anyone until we send the messenger that's
update the ahead Hadith has is dandy, so it's not going to
override it. So the dominant opinion is that if you've never
heard of Islam, whether it's after the time of the prophet or between
prophets, you're completely forgiven. And if you're a
murderer, and a *, and you did all these bad things, your
punishment is in your heart, right? The destruction that you've
done to your fitrah, that's your punishment, or your punishment is
going to be maybe in the grave, you're going to find some
discomfort, and Allah knows best. But when they get to the Day of
Judgment, or they get to the dead judgment, they see all their sins
chasing them in the form of wild beasts and animals, because that's
how it works. When you go on the Day of Judgment, your sins come
chasing after you, okay, in the form of wild beasts, right. And
your good deeds are the ones who protect you. So you might have a
good deed of a very weak army, that your good deeds. So that's
their punishment. But when they come to face the questioning, and
they stand in front of the Divine Court, they say, We never got the
message. So they're forgiven. Okay. They're all forgiven.
Question says, so if someone heard of the Prophet peace be upon him,
but didn't hear about him properly? Can they be saved? The
answer is, if they know now, you ask the question of what's the
threshold? This threshold is very simple, that you heard that there
is a claim of Alas, profit from the Creator. All right. And his
name is Mohammed is Dean is called Islam. And he is representing God.
And he's coming with the last message. That's it after that it's
upon them to investigate in the same way, if I tell you there's a
fire in the building
it that's all I tell you. And then you go and you fall into it, you
can't blame me, you should have looked, you should have asked, I
told you the bare minimum that I have to tell you, there is a fire
in this building, be very careful. Open your eyes. That's enough.
Okay. So just telling them that there is something called the
Prophet there is something called the slab there is a Creator,
right? And he has a message that should be sufficient, and it's up
to them to investigate. And Allah has made it all easy. You can
investigate so easily. Okay, now, but
what he did is he gave it he gives it over time. That's his problem.
And we have to ask ourselves, if that's our problem, we have to ask
ourselves, if that's our problem, if we're a type of people that
over time, we give in to whatever is whispered to us. And that's
exactly what happens to many kids. When they go to school.
They hear something as freshmen, okay, and all of a sudden, they
reject it, but then over time, by the time second year, third year,
it's it's become normalized. It was a question. All right, good.
Okay, we protect ourselves from going from strength to weakness
slash not falling into absurd notions and commands. What does it
mean to be a principal human being in today's age? Okay, repeat the
first one again, how do we protect ourselves from going from strength
to weakness? And also from not falling into absurd absurd
emotions?
Okay, what did they ask them what they mean by absurd notions and
commands, but let me tell you about the concept here of how do
we avoid what but um, went through because but um, story goes on. And
he goes, and every time he would raise his hands to make draw
against Satan, the Musa in his tongue wouldn't be able to bring
the words out, and he would end up making against his own people, or
the people that he joined, until finally,
he felt a bird coming as if a bird coming out of his chest.
And he said, That's it. That was my Amen. And he lost everything.
Which brings us the operative question of can someone be overly
of Allah and lose it? And the answer is yes, you can lose will.
Only prophethood is gained, guaranteed and never lost. But
Leia can be lost very easily.
The person can lose weight. Same way, there was a man who became a
companion and the time of the Prophet peace be upon him. He
posted he left a slump, and he died as a Christian in Ethiopia.
Okay, another one became a companion. Then join the pagans
again join Mecca again. Then after the death of the messenger peace,
we bought him
he became a Muslim again. So he's not a Sahaba. He's a Tebay. So he
lost the status of Sahabi. Okay, and became a tabby. So to the
question of how do we avoid going from strength to weakness? The
answer is very simple. It's fear it fear going to weakness.
Now saying that you're greeted at a Alayhis Salam and Sedna mica
eel. They were the companions
of bliss in paradise. They would keep his company when the bliss
had his collapse. And he failed and he went down into the abyss.
They were so shocked because you don't know that the bliss lived
1000s of years on the earth and then hundreds of years in the
heavens. He was a given he was somebody that no
Nobody would doubted his event. And he had a collapse. And it
became an enemy of the truth and an enemy of Allah.
So what ends up happening is that it Gibreel and Mika, l are sitting
and they're shaking from fear, like the shock. Okay, the shock,
and I remember this, I remember seeing some shoe. And dudes and I
still feel very bad for them for what happens if they had a
collapse? Right? They collapse pretty badly in front of
everybody. And it's like, you're, you're shaking because you had an
assumption and you start doubting everything, you know? Like you
really start doubting everything you know about people.
Okay, so saying that Allah has called him to Gibreel and Mikhail.
And he said, Why are you shaking like this? They said, We never
expected that bliss could have a collapse. So we fear for
ourselves. Now, of course, angels never can collapse. They can never
disobey love, but fearing collapse is like an act of worship and a
sign of men. So, so Allah subhanaw taala said to them,
Do you want to know what will save you? They said, Yes. He said, Stay
afraid. Stay afraid, and you will be saved. Okay, so this concept
and this idea that we fear, losing our blessings, that and the
greatest blessing being Amen. That's the only way to keep it. We
should always never assume. So people say, Oh, well, you got to
trust our kids. We got to, I don't even trust myself. Okay, whenever
it gets those, Oh, you don't trust me? I don't, I don't trust my own
neffs for two years as a Muslim 20 years, I should say more than 20
years taking it very seriously and studying. I don't trust my own
neffs. And wish never showed an empty bucket is a deep, he taught
us never to trust our own neffs. Okay, he said that about himself.
If I have one foot in paradise and one foot outside, I still wouldn't
trust myself. Alright, question. Yes. So she followed up, commands
emotions, she said, when society or authority demands something
which weakens once? And then someone further asked about
liberalism, if it's truly a threat? And if so, how do we
protect children and family? Not only ourselves? It is this stuff
is no joke, it totally is no joke. And the question, I don't know if
you guys could hear the question are speaking, but it's no joke.
Society is pushing stuff. Even laws are pushing stuff. And we
Muslims may slowly be find ourselves edging up more and more
to the margin of society. Right? And there are certain things you
just you capitulate that you cannot do them.
Right? I mean, someone once said to me, what will give him the
rulings of Islam, the you know, the given, you know, what we say
about music, what we say about showing women, displaying women,
even so, self about men, men and women touching, that means that
that means there would never be a practicing Muslim director in
Hollywood.
And I'm like, Yeah, that's true. There never will be, right,
because he's, in order to make a movie that's gonna get an award,
you're gonna have to do so many haram things. Right? So, but so
what do you think that this Dean is without sacrifice? I mean, one
of the things that you have to think about is, whatever happened
to the idea of sacrifice that the, the the Dean has not?
There's certain things we'll never be able to do. So what? That's not
even a big deal.
There was a guy you all heard of Henry the eighth. He's the crazy
British king who killed all of his wives. Right? Every time. His wife
would give him a headache. He just killed her. Right? He killed so
many of his wives. Well, if you might have heard of like the
Morehouse or there was a guy named Thomas Moore. Now Thomas Moore was
a Catholic. And he was basically refusing to submit to Henry the
Eighth and Senate. I think it was Henry the Eighth, right? If not,
maybe it's Henry the 14th. He was refusing to submit to his
insanity. And he said, No, what you're doing is wrong. He got
killed. He had like seven daughters or six daughters.
He told them girls, I have raised you on a religion in which we are
ready to sacrifice our life for this religion. Now this is really
hard talk, right? It's really easy. Okay, Henry the eighth. So
Thomas Moore says we were raised on the point that we
could sacrifice we could lose our lives for this faith,
let alone losing various privileges and whatever. And he
ended up to get killed and on the night before he told his
daughters, what did I've what have I been telling you? You shouldn't
be surprised. I've been telling you
All right, this is a faith you could lose your life for this
faith. And you'd be winning. You'd be gaining, you'd become a Shaheed
and the Shaheed is don't live in the same way that we live in
anyone who knows the Shaheed they don't live the same way we live
the shahada and the martyrs, they live a different type of life than
us. They're when they're death is different, and they continue to
gain sustenance. After they die. Some people say Allah permits him
to come back and whisper to people, good things, right? And
you wonder why people do good things sometimes, maybe so he does
whisper to them. Allah knows best if that's, that's just like a
saint. It's not something from the messenger piece Have you been but
what we do know? The martyrs live a different type of life. Right?
And they're always alive, then that's why we don't, their burial
is not the same as anybody else's if they die in battle, okay, and
the Prophet said, most of the martyrs of my OMA are of this
world. All right, in our sorry, are off the bed, which means they
dedicated their life to Allah, they just happen not to be a
battle. And as a result, they count as martyrs. Right? Let's
see, I'm trying to get on to
the
Instagram here on my iPad in order to
to see your comments and your questions. How do I do that?
How do I do this?
You know how to do this right?
Oh, okay. Yeah, you can go on yourself and
you can go on yourself and read me the opportunity. You can read me
the key ways from there. Hey,
us one more thing before you go. Unless you got class, can you get
on to
find the Instagram live on the
right.
On the thing, so summary of the story is but I'm in Baroda, he
ends up losing his Imen and he said I felt a bird, a pigeon. It's
as if a pigeon flew out of my chest. And I realized right there,
that's my Amen. So they said Make dua, he said it's gone. I've lost
all the power. Right? I've lost all of it. Oh, my gosh, did you
see this question Ryan?
He'd like.
I don't know if she's joking or what? No, he's not.
You'll see it later.
All right, let's hear him in the morning to see us. But
I believe that there has been a lot of situations where
the martyrs they are involved in interacting with people on this
earth. They sell stories about the product, there should be a way
there should be one unless they change unless they change the
there. There are stories of AbdulQadir and Jayla and there's
stories of a lot of martyrs right that
that are helping people they're continuing to help people so Allah
Allah Allah knows best but the murder I mean, their life is
completely different. Right the way they live is completely
different. All right, I got in so let's go to the the question box
here
All right, let's see what are the question bucks? Where's the
question box here?
Let's hear it. From Allah we consider homeschooling as a way of
protecting our kids from all the attacks that you mentioned, a lot
of people homeschool the question about homeschooling a lot of
people homeschool I don't really give much advice on schooling,
except that they should be with Muslims. I don't I mean, if you
can, some people, they're living in Iowa, and they're living in
Delaware. And they're living in these states that you don't even
study after middle school or elementary school, but then they
live there. And they're stuck. What can they do? But the key
question is I would not send my kids to and what I've done has
even given federal after Hareem to Hareem have sent of submitting
children, to non believers for anything for education for what
have you. So that's actually considered a federal that people
should think about, and that that's, to me is the number one
thing. What are they going to teach and who are these people
anyway? Right? And in California, turns out, they're all like
secretly trying to convince the kids to join the LGBT groups.
Right.
So to me, I would never send my kids to these strangers.
And probably some of them are okay, but probably some of that
what's the weather it's
homeschooling, or whether it's
it's a Muslim school, but to me, the Muslim school has to be
cleaned a lot of these Muslim schools, it's really sad the
situation, like they're dirty, they're not clean, they're, it's a
terrible environment. And those things I would avoid, because the
kids are gonna get depressed. So it's either homeschool or a good
Muslim, clean Islamic school. And as for the education, you can
always fix that later. Some people are very picky about the nature of
education. To me, I always look at it that
education is reading and writing and math, right? I mean, that's
the basics. So you can read on your free time, you can get a math
tutor, you can always, you know, fix those things. So I'm not
really a type of Stickler, you know, on the actual education side
of things, right, schooling wasn't even the way kids got educated. In
the past, kids got educated by going out and about with their
parents, and learning the trade that their parents were doing, and
being adults acting like adults, and to me that's lost. So all this
education and the kid comes out of school. He can't even do anything.
You can't trust him to flip a burger. How many times have you
seen a kid
come out with an engineering degree. And the kid cannot even
put up like a rod. And he's got like the highest degree in
engineering from Rutgers, Newark, NJIT will love them. I remember
one time one guy.
at NBC, we had the backdrop. So we had this rods and hooks and
everything. So I said, Hey, put up this backdrop, Lea, I said, you're
an engineer, put it up. We put it up. That thing almost fell on my
head and gave me a concussion. It broke. He didn't know how to do
anything. Right? What kind of engineer Are you? A Wallah. He
went to engineering school. He didn't touch a screw in his life.
He doesn't know a thing. He said, Oh, that's construction. I'm an
engineer. I said, Don't give me nonsense. You don't know anything.
Right? You're useless. And that's how these kids come out. They go
to all these classes. That is all theory and abstraction. Okay. He
has never touched it. Okay? He never did anything. So that's the
problem. So, to me, there needs to be a lot more emphasis on hands on
education than on mere schooling.
All right, what else you got?
There is always a way for a person to get their Iman back. There's
always a way. You're you're never locked. You're never stuck.
There's always a way to get a person's human back. And it's
simply by building it up again, it's by how did you how did you
build it up? You build it up by a bed, and we have to have a lot of
a bad there has to be constant non stop a bad in our lives and you
gain it back by being around the right people. So if I would say
it's fear of losing what you have, but it's also
not just fear, it's
being with the right people. Someone asked what is the best way
to learn how to pray five times a day hanging out with people who
pray five times a day, it's the easiest way, right? That's how it
works. It's the easiest way. Okay, hang out with people who pray five
times a day.
This question says If Abraham OCFS spoke about irrevocable Willa,
what is it then? If you can lose Wilaya? Maybe he knows something
that I don't know, but from what I was taught in Akita.
Okay.
How's this?
From what I was taught in Arpita? It nothing is is unusable,
acceptable will only Naboo is something that can never be lost.
Okay. There is a new international online academy, Muslims called
Vianne Academy, my sisters, she loves it. I don't know anything
about it. I can't say anything. But the creative end is telling us
that it's something good. So you want to check it out? Check it
out. Do you see the same issues with Islamic education where it's
just academic, and not practical?
Islam, Islamic education cannot just be academic. And if it is,
it's useless. I mean, some people go in. I can't say useless, right,
but close to useless. They go in to a school. They spent six, seven
years in a madrasa maybe eight years, four years, whatever. They
learned so much. But I guarantee you come out and throw him with a
bunch of brothers that can't put two words together. The socially
inept. Have you ever come upon this? He's a big shake now
according to his academic degree, or even traditional degree.
socially inept, right, you're useless.
You got to know how to talk to people. So that's why in Daraa
Mustafa, I don't know if they still do now, but I know that use
To be this, you would take a group of students, put them in the back
of a van, and they would go out and they would do damage to
people. So they would force the students to get out of the book
Life and interact with real human beings.
And that's what was good, right. And that's why they became they
developed, they had personality they had, they knew how to deal
with people, as opposed to merely just doing books, books, books,
and memorizing, right and not interacting. Now, tell me
something. Let's say you did eight years in us in an Islamic
education, right? Then you come out, and you need to be an
amendment msgid Or a day or something, that you've never held
a regular job. You don't know how it feels like to rush out in the
morning, spill your coffee, not have time to polish your shoes,
right? Get in the car, alright, you kids are yelling, you drop
them off at school, you run to work. By the time you get to work,
you have a ring of sweat around your neck, you're miserable
already. And you sit at your desk, and it's 905. And you're like, I
gotta be here until 5pm. And I'm already miserable. Anyone who's
commuted if you're in Chicago, you probably commute. If you're in
Virginia, you commute, most people commute, and they take a subway,
right or rail of some sorts. And it's just a miserable experience.
So if you've never experienced that, how are you going to talk to
those people, and then you got to work. And it's very hard to upkeep
your Eman while you're at work. You can't risk by the time you get
home, you're too tired to recite anything. Right? Maximum, you
could listen to something, you got so many responsibilities at home,
you're completely exhausted. And you can't keep your Eman up
if you haven't lived that. And I lived that for a little bit of
period of time enough to taste it and realize, okay, this is what
the quote unquote working men experiences, right after years of
PhD. All right. This is what the PhD just reading all day. And
abstractions that I said, You know what? I didn't pick up a book for
10 years just to feel what is it like? Right? And then I worked in
different jobs. One in I worked in a hotel a little bit in sales. I
worked in an Islamic school, right? Yeah, that was dini. But it
was work too. And then I were lecturing Arabic to people that I
didn't even want to see their faces to be honest with you.
Some of the students were okay. But you have to have that
experience. Right? If you don't have that experience, how can you
talk to people? All right, the creative end says ban is an online
program for those who want to homeschool their kids. That's
great. Right? Online, maybe cervicitis. should do the we
should do in Islamic studies for homeschoolers, right? Would be
great.
Yep.
Working one learn
online, where you can learn your photo diet online is by going to
my art view.org. Okay, and you could study with us, we'll teach
you for today. Go to my art fi.org. Send us an email. Right.
And even if we have to tutor you, one on one, it'll take you like a
weekend. Right? We go. We'll show Murad. We'll do it. Ryan, we'll do
it. I'll do it. We'll teach you your funding one person at a time.
How do we get formally trained madrasa teachers to strike balance
between Dean and contemporary issues? I think they should
graduate.
Okay, take the cap off, put on a shirt, get a job. Go live that
miserable life that deals with random people get a job. Okay.
Deal with random people for two, three years. Okay, you'll be a
well rounded person and you'll see how hard it is for a regular
person to keep up Islam. Right. And that's why it's so important
for Imams to be able to relate and but also to make programs that fit
them and to establish you know, these
a bed in a group because people are too tired. People ask me Why
do you guys do vicar night in the masjid? It's because I guarantee
you these guys who come if they didn't come they'd be sitting on
the couch with their husband or wife watching TV and so they fall
asleep but you know 1130 At night, right?
When they come to the masjid we they will do they're gonna do an
hour of vicar that they would have never done at home. Right and
that's our job.
Okay, this question says
if you can't have people how pray five times a day around you? Which
is most people right? You work in a hospital, you work in wherever
you work. You're not gonna have people who pray five times a day
around you. Then you got to hit up in masajid. You got to be
irregular at the masjid. On the way home stop at a masjid after
dinner. Go pray at msgid at least two times a week.
Alright, Bing, it says, Should parents be more concerned about
making sure their complaints about Islamic schools are heard or focus
on being a better parent who doesn't complain about their kids?
Being a better parent? Right? I don't expect from the schools. So
what's gonna happen at the school? The kids might have a rough
experience. That's good. That's education. Not good. Like, I'm
happy about it. But that's part of life. I'm not sending them to
school Islamic school to the only thing I wouldn't want them and
Miss I'm in school is that I would expect the curriculum doesn't
have, you know, some of the novels that are no good, right? I mean,
I'm expecting them not to learn that from Islamic school. But are
they going to learn some curses from the kids in Islamic school?
Of course, they're, they're not going to school with angels,
they're going to school other Muslims. Right?
My expectation is that I this idea that the school has to be
absolutely perfect. Those types of parents to me, I think they're No,
I'm not saying Dean. I know, Dean, for sure was not one of them,
because I know Dean, but he's not one of them. But a lot of these
parents, no offense, but they're in lala land, every little prick
that happens to the kids, they want a meeting. You're setting the
kid up to be so soft, that he doesn't know how to handle
anything. And to me, that's not good. I'm not saying that there
should be bullying in the school. But I'm saying that why is
perfection expected that your home is not perfect? Why would you
expect Islamic school to be perfect? So to me, the school is
what it is like Ryan, you went to school that your parents, you went
to school, you went to the local school, right? Your parents didn't
complain about the school, the school is the school, half the
world goes to public school, you go to the school that you just
that's next to you. All the Indian kids and the Chinese kids, they
don't go to special schools. They go to the regular rat hole school
that's next to their next to their building, to their home. That's
it. And they go home, and they study and they study and they
study and they get the grades and they go to Harvard, and they go
run Google and Twitter now. Right? But what are the Arab kids do? And
I can speak for the Arabs, the Muslim kids, they go to the
Islamic school. And they just expect some kind of a miracle
because they paid a buck. Well, the public school kids, they're
not paying the bank taxes, too, right? They're paying taxes. So
because you paid a buck, you think that everything is going to be
perfect? No, I can be perfect. So to me, my thing with them is study
at home, do good at home, right?
Make up for it at home.
They're waiting for someone else to do the job for me.
And again, it's not to say that Dean was doing that, because I
know him. And he's not that's what happens when angels die do their
souls get removed from their form, ie, a lot of they do die and
they're resurrected to all the angels will eventually die to. And
there'll be resurrected, as well. How to start studying Islam from
start at age 2425. You take off, you take off into class, that's
the first thing to do. You got to take off you to class.
And then you have to learn how to make to make sure your will do and
your Salah is done properly. And we have a video on that how to
pray on Safina Society's website, YouTube channel. And any questions
so far?
Yes. All right, let's hear. So you speak about some of the merits or
some of the merits of saying that Abubaker is that he was such a
pure friend of the messenger peace be upon him and that his intent,
and his class was unquestioned. And this is why the messenger
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said about him that
if the man of the almost one skill and the amount of background, the
other the amount of Arabic could would outweigh it? It's because
they've never been Hasidic never once questioned.
the truthfulness of the prophets I send them
every other person who entered Islam, they they judged it in
their mind.
And then they came to a conclusion. But say no Bucher was
so sincere to the messenger peace be upon him from day one, and he
was the company that the Prophet loved more than any other men and
that he was easygoing He was gentle. So, and yes, the Prophet
loves all the Sahaba but his love for Abu Bakar was something
special. And after that, his love was a bucket, his daughter, Aisha
bint Abu Bakr, and she was very different from her the personality
of her father. She was fiery. Abu Bakar was so lenient, right. But
say that she was was created differently. She was fired than
the Prophet love that too, right? So it's just the Sadiq it's a
special people if they're truly descended from us. That's a
special lineage
and the only tube
people to stand up against Yazeed were the grandson of the Prophet
and the grandson of level buck. Abdullah in his bed was the
grandson of Abu Bakar.
Okay, now the question. Yes, that's one of the one of the
question. What was the Quran says it's a book without any doubt. Is
it not true that only logical or mathematical statements are the
only statements without? What could this mean? That's a good
question. The answer the meaning is, there is no doubt in the
truthfulness of this book. That's one meaning. And the other meaning
is, there is no benefit. Unless you approach it without doubt. If
you approach this book with doubts, you won't benefit.
Okay, if you approach this book with no doubt, in its
truthfulness, then you will find benefit. That's the meaning of
that question. Or the law, right, Buffy.
And it's a statement from Allah, there is no doubt about the
truthfulness of this book.
Next, someone said Is there a way to increase willpower
to increase willpower a DUA. If you want to increase your
willpower, this is what you do. Every single time that your your
neffs tells you not to do something, okay?
Do it. Even if a little bit and every time you're enough cells,
you do something, don't do it even a little bit. Right. So if you're
if you're if you're let's say you're you want to exercise, and
you're like, I don't feel like doing push ups, do a push up just
what contradict your neffs all the time, at every stage contradiction
of just a little bit, not too much that you get a blowback that kills
you, but just a little bit contradict your nerves. That's the
first thing second thing, a constant remembrance of the
reward. We're human beings that we want to be happy in life. Right?
Okay, we want to be people who are happy in life. So in order to keep
going, laziness, the cure for laziness is a little bit of greed.
Right? And there's a good greed, you had to own up Boneco fun
welcome. Ah, Allah says in the Quran, they call upon their Lord,
out of fear. And out of greed, there's a good greed. There's a
good level of greed. Firstly, when you're seeking your reward from
Allah, and you're seeking it in a way that's how to, and that that
greed or that desire isn't knocking out another obligation or
another virtue, so you're not becoming a monster in the process.
So the solution to laziness is a little bit of greed, the solution
of willpower is a consistent decrease of your knifes, right or
a contradiction of your ego.
There was a story about a Christian in Egypt, and he was
causing a lot of problems. Because he would he was like a monk zakat
type.
Whenever someone would pass him by or come in, he would read his
mind.
For example, someone who would be knocking he would call out out the
door, who it was and why he came. Right. So the the Muslims are
getting freaked out. They're like we thought keramas were only for a
Olia.
So the shoe, they said no, there there there can be not cut almost
we wouldn't call them cut on that, but we would call them there is
cutter colada going against the norm. It can be done by
nonbelievers. Okay, but only of this world only of worldly men.
So finally, one shift, he sat down, and he's knocked on and he
said, Tell me by Allah, you're confusing all of our people.
Right? Tell me exactly what's the secret? What how is it that you've
gotten to the point that you're able to read minds?
He said,
anytime that my neffs wants to do something, I do the opposite. And
because of that, I got spiritual power by constantly contradicting
my neffs against spiritual power. And through that spiritual power,
he conquered at ease, he's able to sort of read minds and things like
that, right. So we do believe that non believers can attain a level
of spirituality where they do have what's called Clinical adda. They
break the norms Yogi's do it all the time. I was at GW University
St. Jose Nasser said that he saw with his own two eyes, a yogi be
buried alive,
buried alive. And 40 days later, they dug him out and he just
walked away.
And he's now he he made the mistake of thinking oh, that means
he must be upon some truth. He's not upon some truth. Right? But
there is the human body, the human spirit. The soul has an ability.
If you if you purify it in a certain way from
emits desires, okay? You purify the neffs from its desires, you
gain spiritual powers, but there are only spirits because of this
world. So likewise, I could tell if an engineer studies and studies
and he goes against his desires by studying and he he sticks to
studying, he invents an airplane. And he's not a Muslim either,
right? I mean, we spiritual paths
are
not the only power of material power is really important to good.
I mean, if you had to make a choice, and you had a war, and
someone says, Hey, your your your soldiers have spiritual power,
your soldiers have nukes and machine guns, I'll take the
machine guns, right? Material power and spiritual power are both
worldly powers. And if you press the right buttons in life, in this
world, you're gonna get that power. We see now the kofod have
that power. And yeah, who would have that power? Hindus in the
past had Yogi powers, right? There were wizards in this world, that
stuff was all real. It was spiritual power, but it's only of
this world. They're not drawing upon melodica. They're not drawing
upon angels. They're not drawing from the riddle of Allah. They're
not drawing from the pleasure of Allah. They're not bringing Sakina
we don't know if they're happy by all this. We don't know if they're
happy. Okay? We don't know. So spiritual power is a thing.
But it's not something that is going to be always linked to being
on true belief.
And most of the time, it's believers, most Muslims who die
and go to heaven, they have not an inkling of material or spiritual
power. So it's not a measure for us. But go look at all the books.
They all tell you that yes, there are Yogi's and Hindus and things
like this. And medicine men, they had the spiritual powers.
Question.
Is there any online curriculum from basics to advanced in the
online curriculum, you know, what I'm going to promote here is to go

make for Muslim political prisoners? What did the Muslims in
the past Joe Yes, there are plenty of dua have
to fridge aluminum, which is to or to accrue to, to freeze your crop
fulfillment or relief of tribulations. So we should we can
make those right in the middle of the night for these people. How to
be more motivated to complete the last seven Joe's in hips. Just
recall what motivated you to remember the first to memorize the
first 23 just okay.
It's my Ark view. I'll spell it for you here, my Ark view not art
to view, my Ark, view the orgy. And we have live and online
classes constantly year round. The classes are either
online, live, or they're pre recorded. So people could study
and they do study year round with these classes. Next question is an
essential necessity something or something compulsory for teachers
to teach? You that doesn't make any 100%? Yeah, 50 Nakita, mainly,
mainly just flipping up here. He should have any Jezza Yeah, and if
he knows if he's Peters, right, and his FIP is right, and he has a
general economic general ijazah to teach and to transmit a hadith and
then read the commentary and give the commentary according to
correct thicken up in next question, which should be read
after each summer, as you could see, after each salah, and there
are two A's from Eddie and Ron, that the prophets I seldom
recommended that we recite shade the low and no la ilaha one Mala
Ecuador all in quite a number of fistula Illa Illa Allah as his or
her community and in the light Islam and then put Allah home
American team will come into what ends the old Malcolm and
mentorship which always are meant to show to the lumen Tisha, the
ethical fire in that category saying
all right, yes, seeing says you know, you have a thought of who's
around the corner, and then that person is actually there is that
an angel whispering to you that thought in your head, it could be
an angel, it could be a sign from ALLAH SubhanA could be purity of
neffs allow Adam, it could be any of those things.
Next question, someone followed up saying because you're setting in
the Isha Prayer fulfill with the hadith of the prophet shall
It will. Whether you recite certain suitors that are
recommended to recite it, for example, Waka whether you're
assigned to insula or outside of Silla, insula outside of sulla
inshallah you get the same reward for those
is to refer up too long of a topic. Yeah. But the it's the
Gotha that is completely agreed upon is devata on the spirit of to
listen
to what is acceptable that you ask Allah to Allah by offering your
deeds if your deed is that you love a certain Willie of Allah or
a certain person then that's that's what you're offering.
Alright case Finn says you mentioned or talk about Mr. Jabba
Dalits now applying what you said so why is it that there are
certain Hadith around
being was to gel with Dalits
you really want to be you shouldn't be you should try to be
Mr. Java, Java. And if you attend my second Java Dawa, purify your
food, you'll be Magento purify your food, that's the main thing.
And what is to Java to Java is by having absolute no doubt belief
that Allah to Allah is gonna get you what you asked for. If you
have doubts, then you're negating it. If you have doubts inside of
you, it's almost like having water inside of a cell phone, it's not
going to work. Right? So you keep pressing the right buttons, you're
pressing the right buttons, but you yourself are messed up. Either
your nourishment is haram or you have doubts.
Those doubts are killing everything else. So your phone's
not going to work if there's water inside of it, same thing.
When and how did you start studying knowledge? We'll bring
that up inshallah. And another less talk we'll talk about that
Jolla.
Any other final questions? Yes. There's to
revert to be approached to adhere to the proper methodology without
coming across as dogmatic to further clarify is even reversed
after reverting the drawn to extremist ideology. Have you worn
them without pointing fingers?
Sometimes you have to point fingers.
Okay.
Sometimes you need to tell people that certain groups stay away from
them, without necessarily being decisive. If you feel like oh,
that's going to be decisive, then you just need to pull them into
your group until they start to learn the foundations of what the
dean is, okay?
The foundations, and then they'll start seeing that those are absent
in those other groups. Right. So whatever it is, that is absent in
that extremist group, you bring it to the fore to the forefront in,
in your teaching and education of these of the of a new Muslim, so
that when they go there, they'll see it by themselves. But
sometimes you just if it's extreme, you just have to tell
them that we don't do this. Right? We're not going we don't go to
that group. And they have issues. So sometimes you have to say
alright, we'll take one more question from here and one more
from the other stream. So let's go to
someone that we hadn't gotten to yet. Let's go to all my alma mater
Mufti says, a cinematic and can you suggest a dua for children to
start praying?
A dua for kids to start praying. What did you just tell them to go
pray?
Right? Yeah, I mean, we all parents, we all make dua for our
kids all the time. May Allah open their hearts to amen? If you're
talking about maybe she's talking about a 15 or 16 year olds, that's
different because you can't really control them sometimes, right? But
if you're talking about a little kid, you know, in the same way
that you tell him to eat a salad, eat your food, go up to bed, do
your homework, go make would do and stand in the prayer line, so
it just becomes a habit. So that's what I understand. Maybe they're
saying something that they're already young adults, right? Maybe
I missed something so.
So he this is what if you struggled to fight doubts when
making dua? Yes, it still can be answered. But you have to fight
those doubts and making up because the Prophet commanded you to he
said Make dua while you are certain of the answer. So you
really have to remove doubts. How do you remove doubts by
remembering Allah is capable his closet, he created something far
greater. Okay. Which is your life? Your your living is far greater
than whatever you're praying for. The sun is far greater than what
you're praying for. The moon is far greater than what you're
praying for. The Creator
To those that whatever you're asking for can be easily graded.
Just because it hasn't happened yet. Someone said, I've been
making dua for two years. I said,
it takes four years to get a high school degree.
Right? It takes four years to get a high school diploma. And those
things are just a piece of paper, you throw on the side, and you go
to college and you lose it. Right, four years after high school, I
mean, I know some of these people here are surgeons, right? It takes
12 years to become a doctor.
You're gonna do four years College, four years medical, and
then four years of
residency, then you might take another two years, it takes 12
years to be a doctor, things take time, if you wanted to get a CDL
to drive a truck, that might take you nine months. Alright, so if
you if you want to be a real estate agent that might take you
from the moment that you desire to be a real estate agent. And the
moment that they make the sale of their first house might end up
being two years, maybe one year. And we see these guys all the time
and we don't bat an eye when we see them, but it takes two years
for them to become like that. Okay.
Pharaoh of NJ you might want to change your screen name there. But
Alan is not exactly a great do I know this person, but you have to
have suburb, right? Have southern
it just remember four years to get a high school diploma 12 years to
be a doctor. So to get your prayer answered, if it's worthwhile, you
wait.
Little kids for prayer, I would say pray in front of them and just
tell them to pray.
Why can't you tell them just just just stand next to me and pray?
You should be able to say that stand next to me and mix it up.
As Bailey Han says how do we purify our neffs and our heart
must much recitation of Quran and Salah on the messenger will help
you purify your heart. One more question from Ryan sweat. Okay, we
have a lot of good questions.
combined two of them Yep, no problem. Someone asked about the
yogi's and everything is it spiritual power or using gym and
then another person who has speaking about spirituality or
Muslims or not to engage in acts like yoga for health benefits
without intention of worshipping other than Allah All right, is it
spirituality or jinn Allah knows best? Right? Allah knows best who
knows about that stuff? But and can we go engage in those
practices? But for the health benefits like stretching and yoga?
Yes, yoga is essentially to me it's stretching if you asked me
right, someone said they went to a yoga camp I said always show me
what you what you studied for like three days at this yoga camp. And
they start doing okay, do this stretch that stretch. I was like
you're stretching right? In a hot room. Right? That's what it was.
So stretching is okay. There's nothing wrong with stretching as
long as you're not doing those chants etc. But stretching is
fine.
Now the one Sure.
Is it possible to remove the veils in today's life? Is it possible
that the veils can be removed in this life if we work on our
spirituality, as the veils will be lifted after death? Is it possible
Can you remove the veils and the answer is yes for sure if a person
does a lot of a bad and avoids a lot of distractions and the Haram
and purifies their their food then Yes. Which I love those veils can
be removed little by little you know if they're removed all the
ones that will be a great shock but little by little they can be
removed
all right, let's stop here just coming off good and everyone
