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

really wonderful guest to have on somebody that's always insightful,

engaging, intelligent, and also entertaining, comes to sort sits,

00:00:40 --> 00:00:46

who operates and runs Sapiens Institute in in the UK. Everyone

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

in the UK, I'm sure you know them, you know him. Anyone who's ever

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

been on YouTube, Islamic channels, what have you.

00:00:54 --> 00:00:59

In the past decade, you definitely have come upon a video by Hamza

00:00:59 --> 00:01:03

sorts. It's and he's a Greek convert to Islam, born and raised

00:01:03 --> 00:01:04

in England, correct.

00:01:06 --> 00:01:10

And has now become really a specialists in

00:01:12 --> 00:01:16

answering disputes answering doubts, I should say Shubo hats

00:01:16 --> 00:01:20

and and working in that field. And they have a hotline, I recently

00:01:20 --> 00:01:21

met

00:01:22 --> 00:01:23

one of your guys.

00:01:24 --> 00:01:29

You have a hotline now. People can call in right now free of charge.

00:01:29 --> 00:01:32

You know, why don't we put that number out there? So firstly,

00:01:32 --> 00:01:36

yeah, you could talk about that. Yeah, yeah, under that. So

00:01:36 --> 00:01:39

luckily, Hashem will give me the opportunity email the blessing.

00:01:40 --> 00:01:44

It's it's not a hotline, it's a free one hour service that they

00:01:44 --> 00:01:48

can register. And we can either call them directly, or we have a

00:01:48 --> 00:01:52

zoom call, or we communicate with them in any way that they want.

00:01:52 --> 00:01:55

And it could be face to face as well, depending where they are on

00:01:55 --> 00:02:00

the world. And it's basically a lighthouse mentoring service. So

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

our website, Satan's institute.org, forward slash

00:02:04 --> 00:02:08

lighthouse, anyone who has Shabbat, which is the plural for

00:02:08 --> 00:02:12

like destructive doubts, anyone who wants a mentoring in the

00:02:12 --> 00:02:17

dollar to optimize the dollar, they can basically engaged with us

00:02:17 --> 00:02:21

people who are ex Muslims, people who are new Muslim atheists,

00:02:21 --> 00:02:26

everybody we have about a 90% success rate, I believe, and

00:02:26 --> 00:02:30

Alhamdulillah, it's free, and just engage with us. And if you need

00:02:30 --> 00:02:35

another session, that's also free. And we're there to touch, move and

00:02:35 --> 00:02:40

inspire you in some way to uncloudy your fitrah to awaken the

00:02:40 --> 00:02:46

truth that is within sha Allah. So hamdulillah it's, it's, it's not

00:02:46 --> 00:02:49

great for marketing, because it's not like you have a million people

00:02:49 --> 00:02:53

and you have 1000 likes in one hour. But we felt that there's a

00:02:53 --> 00:02:57

lot of stuff happening online. And yet people still have Shabbat they

00:02:57 --> 00:03:01

still have destructive doubts. They're able to go to Google and

00:03:01 --> 00:03:05

do a search and find an answer, but it's not enough for them. And

00:03:05 --> 00:03:09

what we realized was there's like a hidden Sunnah of Allah subhanaw

00:03:09 --> 00:03:12

taala, that you need that human interaction. And when you do that,

00:03:12 --> 00:03:16

with the essential characteristics of the Duat, the Islamic shock,

00:03:16 --> 00:03:22

Sia, the Islamic personality, you try and be humble and to engage

00:03:22 --> 00:03:26

and to really want the best for them, and you want to mentor them,

00:03:26 --> 00:03:29

and you want them to be the optimal version of themselves. And

00:03:29 --> 00:03:33

it's done with a class and hikma and sometimes with assertiveness,

00:03:33 --> 00:03:39

if needed, then Inshallah, we can create new possibilities for

00:03:39 --> 00:03:42

people so they could come closer to Allah subhanho wa taala. So

00:03:42 --> 00:03:47

this is a very specialized type of mentorship program, where if you

00:03:47 --> 00:03:51

have doubts, or if you're a de who deals with people with doubts,

00:03:52 --> 00:03:53

correct? Yes. So

00:03:55 --> 00:03:59

let me say something that I personally believe our path in the

00:03:59 --> 00:04:03

West is in human interactions, as opposed to politics and marketing.

00:04:05 --> 00:04:08

We just have to increase our interactions, right? We have to

00:04:08 --> 00:04:12

interact with people and the way of Islam is the it's I always view

00:04:12 --> 00:04:15

it, it's like water, it comes down, it settles you don't know

00:04:15 --> 00:04:19

where and you can't get it out. Once it settles into people

00:04:20 --> 00:04:23

amongst the folklore of the people. The you know, the poor,

00:04:23 --> 00:04:27

the the the regular folk, you're not ever getting it out of the

00:04:27 --> 00:04:32

fabric because regular folk, they, what's not clouded in them is

00:04:32 --> 00:04:37

their instincts, their fitrah and when they you can argue whatever,

00:04:37 --> 00:04:40

you can promote whatever you can publicize, you could do PR

00:04:40 --> 00:04:46

campaigns, but people do have a gut that tells them no, this

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

person is not what's being said about them. It's impossible. That

00:04:50 --> 00:04:52

what's being said about this person's verse because I know them

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

I dealt with them, I know them very well. So this type of

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

interaction when it comes to doubts, I think is the right way

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

to go.

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

whether it's big or small, it doesn't really make a difference

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

as long as we're constantly interacting. Now, let me ask you a

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

question about this. You must have trained these people,

00:05:09 --> 00:05:13

the mentors themselves, they must be almost young philosophers,

00:05:13 --> 00:05:14

right?

00:05:15 --> 00:05:18

Well, yeah, I mean, we have a lot of principles that we follow. And

00:05:18 --> 00:05:22

one of the principles include that if you don't know something you

00:05:22 --> 00:05:25

don't know an answer that just tell them and pass them on to the

00:05:25 --> 00:05:28

relevant mentor, because you're not going to have a mentor and he

00:05:28 --> 00:05:31

knows everything. But our mentoring approach is more

00:05:31 --> 00:05:35

strategy based rather than specific answer based. So we do

00:05:35 --> 00:05:39

provide the specific answers, but we'll give them a toolkit. So we

00:05:39 --> 00:05:43

have a landmark book, and of course, could no doubt fat Tasneem

00:05:43 --> 00:05:48

May Allah bless him and grant him Jonathan dose and grant him the

00:05:48 --> 00:05:51

best in this world and grant his parents because both his parents

00:05:51 --> 00:05:53

passed away recently, his mother and father within a period of

00:05:53 --> 00:05:57

around 40 days, have mercy on them and make it easy on all of them.

00:05:58 --> 00:06:03

This is Chef Assad Tasneem, his brother as he sleeps, parents

00:06:03 --> 00:06:07

passed away within a 40 day period. Hello, anything, was there

00:06:07 --> 00:06:11

a car accident or just this natural? No, I think, well, his

00:06:11 --> 00:06:17

mother died from cancer. She was in the late stages of cancer. So

00:06:17 --> 00:06:22

alhamdulillah, she was able to like die with the shahada and have

00:06:22 --> 00:06:27

family around. And I think his father passed away kind of, and,

00:06:27 --> 00:06:31

you know, it was unsuspected. And it just happened, but it helped

00:06:31 --> 00:06:35

Lila they were pious, and they've left a great legacy with the

00:06:35 --> 00:06:40

children, especially chef Syed and Chuck fat. Stefan wrote the book,

00:06:40 --> 00:06:44

no doubt, it's basically 10 effective strategies from the

00:06:44 --> 00:06:48

Quran and Sunnah on how to deal with your Shabbat and a Shabbat of

00:06:48 --> 00:06:52

others is freely downloadable on the secrets Institute website. And

00:06:52 --> 00:06:55

we have a landmark course that me and Chuck Farhad delivered on our

00:06:55 --> 00:06:58

learning platform which is free for everybody. We have around 14

00:06:58 --> 00:07:03

or 15 courses on there. Our recent courses, the course on LGBTQ by

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

Dr. Carl Sharif is around over 33 hours, it's very in depth over 600

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

Something slides, we have around 10,000 students on there. And that

00:07:12 --> 00:07:17

cost is basically our strategy on how to deal with Shabbat. So there

00:07:17 --> 00:07:21

are many ways to deal with Shabbat you know, we we don't see the

00:07:21 --> 00:07:26

human being from a post secular or even postmodern perspective, the

00:07:26 --> 00:07:29

human being is not just an abstract intellect the human being

00:07:29 --> 00:07:33

is not just based on language and social hierarchies that ever

00:07:33 --> 00:07:36

changing but rather the human being has a particular psychology

00:07:37 --> 00:07:41

and Allah subhanaw taala alcoholic, the Creator, He created

00:07:41 --> 00:07:43

us and He knows the human being better than the human being knows

00:07:43 --> 00:07:47

the human being. So, we have a very kind of palette be fit three

00:07:48 --> 00:07:52

or Rohit type of approach. Because all these things are a dynamic

00:07:52 --> 00:07:56

interplay. As you know, Chef, your master this Michel Torah COLA that

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

is according to the majority of the LMR a function of the caliber

00:08:01 --> 00:08:04

and the color of the circle lube is wavers, right? And it has

00:08:04 --> 00:08:09

bitten Shabbat and Chihuahua blends in with the desires and

00:08:09 --> 00:08:12

destructive doubts but it also has diseases like Keba arrogance or

00:08:12 --> 00:08:17

job SELF amazement, Rhea ostentation, and has said,

00:08:17 --> 00:08:21

blameworthy jealousy and so on and so forth. And the color is ever

00:08:21 --> 00:08:24

changing. It's just a loop and the alcohol is within that. So if you

00:08:24 --> 00:08:28

just attack the alcohol, and you know dealing with the heart, then

00:08:28 --> 00:08:31

no matter what the actual receives is going to be almost irrelevant.

00:08:31 --> 00:08:35

You get so we have that approach now. Exactly. So we have our enemy

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

approach. So to learn knowledge, transformative, not just

00:08:38 --> 00:08:42

informative, because the Quran when it delivers an understanding

00:08:42 --> 00:08:46

of ENM it delivers a transformative understanding, when

00:08:46 --> 00:08:49

Allah says is the one who knows equal to the one who doesn't know.

00:08:49 --> 00:08:52

And the verse just before the Allah talks about, you know, the

00:08:52 --> 00:08:57

people who do such data and they pray out my and they hope in the

00:08:57 --> 00:09:00

mercy of the Lord and so on and so forth. So Adam is transformative

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

and our two generations attribute to Imam Malik, may Allah have

00:09:04 --> 00:09:06

mercy on him when he talks about him and him. It's not just

00:09:06 --> 00:09:10

memorization, it's a basis for it. But it's not just that it's an

00:09:10 --> 00:09:14

internalization and LM is a node that Allah puts in the heart. So

00:09:14 --> 00:09:16

we get people to be on a path of enemy because the enemy would

00:09:16 --> 00:09:20

destroy doubts, but also we get people to understand that that

00:09:20 --> 00:09:24

shoe bohart are like parasites because a Sherpa which the

00:09:24 --> 00:09:28

singular for Shabbat, it to be who it resembles something that it's

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

not, it's a walk, it's a wolf in sheep's clothing, it doesn't have

00:09:32 --> 00:09:35

intellectual veracity. So it's like a parasite that sits on your

00:09:35 --> 00:09:39

heart wants to drain your Eman. Yeah, so we teach people you need

00:09:39 --> 00:09:43

to strengthen your spiritual heart the culture has to be helping

00:09:43 --> 00:09:46

Salim has to be a sound How do you do that with the vicar of Allah

00:09:47 --> 00:09:51

with the silhouette with the Salah with the tahajjud with the

00:09:51 --> 00:09:54

recitation of the Quran within the Quran, so we focus on that as

00:09:54 --> 00:09:57

well. We also focus on one other strategy on your environment, as

00:09:57 --> 00:09:59

you know, share the LMFT skill to Allah

00:10:00 --> 00:10:03

They focus on one thing, if they give one piece of advice

00:10:03 --> 00:10:07

concerning the other. And they say, it's your environment, you're

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

going to be upon the religion of your friends, you're going to be

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

raised with those who you love, you're going to go to the

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

blacksmith, you're going to smell like the blacksmith, you're going

00:10:13 --> 00:10:16

to go to the editors, Salah, you're going to smell a perfume.

00:10:16 --> 00:10:19

You know, that hadith of the Prophet sallallahu. It was Sunday.

00:10:19 --> 00:10:23

And even the story of the people of the cave, you know, the dog

00:10:23 --> 00:10:26

happened to be with the pious people, Allah saved the people he

00:10:26 --> 00:10:31

also saved the dog is one of the one of the exegete says, Well, why

00:10:31 --> 00:10:34

is the dog mentioned? Well, Allah is kind of telling us that if a

00:10:34 --> 00:10:38

dog happened to be saved, because it was it was with pious people,

00:10:38 --> 00:10:41

then what would Allah do to your life, if you will, good people. So

00:10:41 --> 00:10:44

we talk about environment, and we talk about social psychology, all

00:10:44 --> 00:10:47

of these things, then we talked about making do as well, nothing

00:10:47 --> 00:10:49

is going to work without the help of Allah subhanho wa Taala you to

00:10:49 --> 00:10:55

express your utter dependency on us some add on the ultimately

00:10:55 --> 00:11:00

independent. And we have to understand that everything happens

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

because of Allah's Iraida and Qudra. And the eyes, the essence

00:11:03 --> 00:11:06

of worship, was showing our humility in our basement and our

00:11:06 --> 00:11:09

artistic dependency on him. And through that, we could get some

00:11:09 --> 00:11:13

transformations as well, then there are so many other strategies

00:11:13 --> 00:11:16

that we adopt, we also talk about that you have to have critical

00:11:16 --> 00:11:20

thinking, I call it a Quranic way of thinking, because the Quran has

00:11:20 --> 00:11:23

an amazing structure, especially when Allah was talking about

00:11:24 --> 00:11:28

his nature, his nature, not his nature, but the natural phenomena

00:11:28 --> 00:11:31

that Theophany if you like, the manifestation of Allah's names and

00:11:31 --> 00:11:36

attributes are what gets us to think in a particular way. And we

00:11:36 --> 00:11:39

get people to think in a Quranic way. And that helps a lot with

00:11:39 --> 00:11:41

regards to critical thinking and dealing with your heart, and are

00:11:41 --> 00:11:44

so many other strategies. We don't have to go through all of them.

00:11:44 --> 00:11:47

But basically, we we talk about the strategies we help people

00:11:47 --> 00:11:50

implement them, because we believe in the kind of a thing is a

00:11:50 --> 00:11:53

proverb, right said if you give a man a fish, you're going to feed

00:11:53 --> 00:11:58

him for a day. But if you teach a man how to fish, you feed him for

00:11:58 --> 00:12:02

a lifetime. So yeah, our strategy is that we give you an answer, but

00:12:02 --> 00:12:07

we give you the strategies, or the way or the path to follow in order

00:12:07 --> 00:12:11

to basically do what Shabbat you know, what I find amazing is that

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

and before I comment, there was somebody asking on Instagram for a

00:12:15 --> 00:12:20

full picture, you can hop onto YouTube, Safina Sadie channel, and

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

you'll see the live stream, you can see the full picture, for some

00:12:23 --> 00:12:28

reason, Instagram, Jim's us into this narrow picture. And when we

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

have a guest, we don't you don't see the guest faces. So hop onto

00:12:32 --> 00:12:34

YouTube, that's where everyone is at anyone that's where the chat is

00:12:34 --> 00:12:38

out. That's where all the chitchat is happening. And also, it's a

00:12:38 --> 00:12:41

better picture. Now, one thing that's amazing that I'm realizing

00:12:41 --> 00:12:46

is everybody who was sincerely seeking the improvement, number

00:12:46 --> 00:12:49

one, the salvation of themselves. And number two,

00:12:51 --> 00:12:57

the the benefit of others is slowly slowly coming to the same

00:12:57 --> 00:13:01

conclusion. Right? And those conclusions are that it takes a

00:13:01 --> 00:13:02

balanced diet,

00:13:03 --> 00:13:08

to quote unquote, save and can somebody say that someone saved

00:13:08 --> 00:13:12

another person? Yes, you can. Because Allah use you to save

00:13:12 --> 00:13:15

them. Right? And Allah uses something to save them and it is

00:13:15 --> 00:13:21

permissible as to attribute the action to the means. The proof of

00:13:21 --> 00:13:26

that is quoted yet our furcal medical notes, say the angel of

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

death makes you die. Well we know that is Allah Who takes your soul

00:13:30 --> 00:13:34

and makes you die. But Allah attributes the action to the,

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

to the caught to the medium that he uses to fulfill His will.

00:13:39 --> 00:13:44

Likewise, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is of the Quran

00:13:44 --> 00:13:48

says, well, equally common head, every people has a gut, right?

00:13:48 --> 00:13:51

Therefore, there's absolutely nothing wrong with saying so and

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

so saved someone. So we don't believe he saved him. Absolutely.

00:13:55 --> 00:13:59

We believe as a means. Right? He saved him. So when we're and when

00:13:59 --> 00:14:03

you bring someone from a doubt, to belief

00:14:04 --> 00:14:06

at that moment, you save them, like we don't know how they're

00:14:06 --> 00:14:10

gonna die. That's true. But at the moment, you did save them. Right.

00:14:10 --> 00:14:15

And so, this concept and this approach to trying to save people

00:14:15 --> 00:14:21

from the doubts of disbelief and the the storm of desires, okay,

00:14:21 --> 00:14:23

Shaohua and Shovelhead. You heard

00:14:25 --> 00:14:29

the word sugu. Had Chabot hat is doubts, things that are doubtful.

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

Well, it's a mirage. It looks like one thing, but it's actually

00:14:33 --> 00:14:37

another thing altogether. That is the job of the devil IBLEES his

00:14:37 --> 00:14:40

job that's why Pharaohs a magician. He makes it look like

00:14:40 --> 00:14:44

snakes. They're just ropes, right? Likewise,

00:14:45 --> 00:14:49

certain phrases, they sound like they make sense and they're full

00:14:49 --> 00:14:52

of mercy. In fact, it's full of violence and it makes no sense.

00:14:52 --> 00:14:56

Right? And, but the but what I'm saying is that everyone's coming

00:14:56 --> 00:14:59

to the realization that you need companionship.

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

not knowledge, and spirituality. Like you can't do with any of

00:15:05 --> 00:15:09

these, like when you're when you're arguing with somebody,

00:15:09 --> 00:15:11

there's no point to argue with somebody whose heart doesn't want

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

to be with you in the first place. And when you do when someone does

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

want to be with you, it's actually very easy to someone's like a

00:15:18 --> 00:15:24

plug, the person wants to believe something, it becomes clear what

00:15:24 --> 00:15:28

it is, what the matter is to them. issues become easy to discuss

00:15:28 --> 00:15:32

because they want the truth What does Allah say about the worst

00:15:32 --> 00:15:38

possible dispute would be a marital dispute, right? And Allah

00:15:38 --> 00:15:40

so this is like the most emotional, the most clouded your

00:15:40 --> 00:15:44

mind is ever going to get is in a family and marital dispute, right?

00:15:45 --> 00:15:51

Allah subhanaw taala says if, if they wish to come together, then a

00:15:51 --> 00:15:55

conclusion will be found a resolution will be made. Good. If

00:15:55 --> 00:15:58

the two which now if only one party wishes to come together, and

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

the other is like not, I'm done with this, you won't find a

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

resolution. So likewise, how do you get people the question is now

00:16:05 --> 00:16:08

how do you get people's heart to be in the position to receive the

00:16:08 --> 00:16:12

right awkward and the right belief is companionship, and it's a lot

00:16:12 --> 00:16:14

of spirituality. And that's the program that we've been running

00:16:14 --> 00:16:18

here. Now, it makes me happy to see like you're running the same

00:16:18 --> 00:16:21

exact operation. I've said, I don't know the London scene. But I

00:16:21 --> 00:16:24

figured I mean, if you if you and Mohammed Mohammed Hajj I've ever

00:16:24 --> 00:16:30

ran a center of masjid, with like, rooms beyond it for other things

00:16:30 --> 00:16:35

that you guys do studio, hangout room, chill out room, rec room,

00:16:35 --> 00:16:37

whatever. And then a mess it in the front. I mean, that would

00:16:37 --> 00:16:42

probably be at it would have to be that most jumping center I'd ever

00:16:42 --> 00:16:46

you could ever have in probably Western Europe. Right with with

00:16:46 --> 00:16:50

both your personalities, both your outgoing natures. Right.

00:16:51 --> 00:16:54

But I mean, everyone has a specialty, but you get people

00:16:54 --> 00:16:58

realizing now that the friendship element of things is so important.

00:16:59 --> 00:17:03

And within that the way I like to operate is that we want to be a

00:17:03 --> 00:17:06

group of friends who loves spirituality, but we also love

00:17:06 --> 00:17:12

Kadem. We love talking about the proofs of our deen, because I

00:17:12 --> 00:17:15

don't want to just be a tribe that believes that something makes no

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

sense, right. And also when you leave when someone leaves, as

00:17:20 --> 00:17:23

always happens, people get jobs, people move out, move out. It

00:17:23 --> 00:17:27

can't just based on sentiments and friendships, it's got to be based

00:17:27 --> 00:17:28

on reason.

00:17:30 --> 00:17:34

Now let me shift to the current use and application of all this

00:17:35 --> 00:17:40

in the current situation. And I don't even hesitate to call it a

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

war because I only see one side obliterating the other. The

00:17:45 --> 00:17:50

current Blitz the current concentration camp attacks that

00:17:50 --> 00:17:51

are happening in Gaza.

00:17:52 --> 00:17:55

And I haven't checked the news lately. What's the latest but I

00:17:55 --> 00:17:58

want to point out two things. One thing is internal for Muslims and

00:17:58 --> 00:18:02

one things external. The external thing is there's a lot

00:18:03 --> 00:18:06

of things being said that are completely

00:18:07 --> 00:18:14

illogical. And the knowledge that you use the tools that you use to

00:18:14 --> 00:18:17

disprove atheists are the same tools to disprove this stuff.

00:18:17 --> 00:18:21

Because Allah calls us to the truth, not theological truth only

00:18:22 --> 00:18:28

truth of oppression is also part of the Huq. Right. And Israel has

00:18:28 --> 00:18:34

the right to defend itself is very clever. Right, was a very clever

00:18:34 --> 00:18:39

Shebaa because the premise is there. And what IBLEES does is he

00:18:39 --> 00:18:43

sneaks in a premise, okay, and he makes any covers it with emotion.

00:18:44 --> 00:18:47

The snug premise is that you're the victim

00:18:48 --> 00:18:51

is only a victim defends himself, right?

00:18:52 --> 00:18:56

And the emotion there is that hey, I'm just I'm attacks.

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

Look how brilliant this was, as a phrase as who came up with this

00:19:02 --> 00:19:06

what marketing agency deserves a billion dollars who came up with

00:19:06 --> 00:19:13

this? You know, a statement that really, inside of it is all sorts

00:19:13 --> 00:19:15

of falsehood. Yes, everyone has a right to defend themselves. No

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

one's gonna say anything bad about that, but not get defend yourself,

00:19:19 --> 00:19:23

logically cannot defend yourself when you're an aggressor. Right.

00:19:23 --> 00:19:27

So that's where the snuck premises so talk to us a little bit about

00:19:27 --> 00:19:30

the use of the tools that you've been working on dealing with

00:19:30 --> 00:19:36

atheists as they transfer over now to a real time human conflicts and

00:19:36 --> 00:19:39

all the misrepresentation misinformation you've been seeing

00:19:39 --> 00:19:41

out there false arguments that you've been seeing out there

00:19:41 --> 00:19:45

because I have others will talk about another one. Inshallah, but

00:19:45 --> 00:19:48

I want to hear from you first. So, with regards to the horrific

00:19:48 --> 00:19:53

situation is happening at the moment, when people articulate a

00:19:53 --> 00:19:57

statement or phrase, you should always understand that every

00:19:57 --> 00:19:59

statement every phrase has its own

00:20:00 --> 00:20:01

suppositions or assumptions.

00:20:02 --> 00:20:08

There is something logically that sits behind the phrase, for

00:20:08 --> 00:20:12

example, when they say is or has a right to defend itself, when you

00:20:12 --> 00:20:13

start thinking about okay,

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

intuitively, that sounds okay. But what does that really mean? That

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

means that there is an assumption that they are being attacked.

00:20:25 --> 00:20:30

Yeah, there is an assumption that they are not the aggressor. There

00:20:30 --> 00:20:35

is an assumption that they have made, they have articulated this

00:20:35 --> 00:20:39

phrase, and they're assuming that something has just started.

00:20:40 --> 00:20:43

So, when you unpack these assumptions, you need to question

00:20:43 --> 00:20:46

Okay, are these assumptions coherent? Are they sound? Are they

00:20:46 --> 00:20:52

based on any evidence? So when we talk about the assumption that

00:20:52 --> 00:20:56

Israel is not the aggressor, then all you have to do is literally do

00:20:56 --> 00:21:00

a Google search and look at the multiple human rights

00:21:00 --> 00:21:04

organizations Human Rights Watch. Amnesty International, read the

00:21:04 --> 00:21:11

books by Jewish academics like Ilan Pepe and Lowenstein, and many

00:21:11 --> 00:21:14

others. They all conclude

00:21:15 --> 00:21:20

that, for 70 years, more than 70 years has been in an illegal

00:21:20 --> 00:21:21

occupation.

00:21:22 --> 00:21:26

For decades, there's been an apartheid regime.

00:21:27 --> 00:21:30

For decades, there was ethnic cleansing.

00:21:31 --> 00:21:36

When you look into, for example, the Nakba, you see that there are

00:21:36 --> 00:21:39

around I think, 600 villages that were burnt to the ground, the

00:21:39 --> 00:21:44

welds were poisoned, so people can't return. Over around 750,000.

00:21:44 --> 00:21:48

Palestinians were actually ethnically cleansed with no right

00:21:48 --> 00:21:49

to return.

00:21:50 --> 00:21:55

When you start looking at various UN reports, you would see that

00:21:55 --> 00:21:59

these refugees have a legal right to return. So when you see the

00:21:59 --> 00:22:04

context of apartheid, of ethnic cleansing of aggression, for

00:22:04 --> 00:22:09

example, before October, the seventh, from around 2021 to

00:22:09 --> 00:22:13

August 2023, around 130.

00:22:15 --> 00:22:20

Palestinian children were killed in cold blood by IDF forces, where

00:22:20 --> 00:22:25

was the international outreach, this selective empathy, selective

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

sympathy? So when you understand that there is a context where

00:22:30 --> 00:22:37

Israel is the aggressor, and that the whole so called conflict or

00:22:37 --> 00:22:41

crisis didn't begin on October the seventh, it reframes the whole

00:22:41 --> 00:22:44

narrative. And then you say, Hold on a second, if you're the

00:22:44 --> 00:22:49

aggressor, that oppressor the killer. You have taken hundreds of

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

children into prison illegally, which is technically hostages.

00:22:53 --> 00:22:56

Where are all these Palestinian hostages, these children, no one's

00:22:56 --> 00:22:59

saying nothing about them. We were other news channels talking about

00:22:59 --> 00:23:03

these children. So when you look at all of this evidence, genocide,

00:23:03 --> 00:23:07

apartheid, ethnic cleansing, even torture, and so on and so forth,

00:23:07 --> 00:23:09

you will now understand as

00:23:10 --> 00:23:14

the Zionist entity being the aggressor, therefore, when they

00:23:14 --> 00:23:18

say we have a right to defend ourselves is ridiculous. It's like

00:23:18 --> 00:23:21

someone is assaulting somebody else. And the one who's committing

00:23:21 --> 00:23:26

the assault says, I have a right to defend myself against my

00:23:26 --> 00:23:29

victim. I mean, what kind of nonsense is this? Muhammad hijab

00:23:29 --> 00:23:32

put up quite nicely on the Piers Morgan show? He said, it's like a

00:23:32 --> 00:23:37

* defending themselves from the victim. Yeah, they're already

00:23:37 --> 00:23:40

in an aggressive stance. They're already in a legal stance. Right.

00:23:40 --> 00:23:43

So that's one thing. The other thing is, which is connected to

00:23:43 --> 00:23:47

what I just said. It assumes that something has just began. No, we

00:23:47 --> 00:23:52

need to reframe the narrative and get them to realize don't assume

00:23:52 --> 00:23:56

that the crisis started on October the summer, we've had seven

00:23:56 --> 00:23:59

decades of illegal occupation, decades of apartheid, decades of

00:23:59 --> 00:24:03

killing hundreds of children killed. Do you want would argue

00:24:03 --> 00:24:06

that a whole decade of bombing, right, every couple of years, Gaza

00:24:06 --> 00:24:11

has been you know, literally carpet bombed. You have even Arab

00:24:11 --> 00:24:14

Israeli citizens being treated like third class citizens, you

00:24:14 --> 00:24:18

have Palestinians being treated, you know, worse than animals. So

00:24:18 --> 00:24:22

from this perspective, we see that there has been an ongoing

00:24:22 --> 00:24:26

aggression going on. Okay. So what we've just done is we've reframed

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

the narrative by saying, Well hold on a second, your statement

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

assumes that you are not the aggressor, that you're the victim.

00:24:35 --> 00:24:38

But in the grand cosmic scheme of things on this issue, you are

00:24:38 --> 00:24:42

actually the oppressor. You are tyrannical. You are terrorists

00:24:42 --> 00:24:46

state, you're an apartheid state. And it really frames the whole

00:24:46 --> 00:24:51

narrative and we say didn't just start on October the seventh. So

00:24:51 --> 00:24:54

all you need to do is listen to a statement and understand what does

00:24:54 --> 00:25:00

that statement assume. you unpack 123 assumptions and then you cry

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

Christian, are those assumptions sound? Do they have evidence for

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

them? Are they coherent? Do they logically make sense? And then you

00:25:07 --> 00:25:11

look for any evidence for or against. And in this case, there's

00:25:11 --> 00:25:16

an overwhelming evidence against the false assumptions of the false

00:25:16 --> 00:25:20

statement of Israel has a right to defend itself. So this is a very,

00:25:20 --> 00:25:24

very important way of dealing with things. Every time someone makes a

00:25:24 --> 00:25:28

statement, a presupposition or an assertion, understand the

00:25:28 --> 00:25:32

assumptions behind that, you unpack what those assumptions are

00:25:32 --> 00:25:35

you question if they have any justification, any evidence, and

00:25:35 --> 00:25:39

you question where if they're logically coherent, and then once

00:25:39 --> 00:25:41

you unpack that, then you're able to basically respond in a

00:25:41 --> 00:25:45

particular way. And you could do the same thing with the LGBTQ plus

00:25:45 --> 00:25:49

ideology, for example, the whole kind of narrative is that same *

00:25:49 --> 00:25:55

* is totally fine. And gender fluidity is, is is not

00:25:55 --> 00:25:58

immoral, it's, it's acceptable. Now, that statement itself has

00:25:58 --> 00:26:02

certain assumptions. One of those assumptions are that they believe

00:26:02 --> 00:26:05

they have absolute ownership over their own bodies, they could do

00:26:05 --> 00:26:09

whatever they want, that goes against, you know, the lordship of

00:26:09 --> 00:26:13

Allah subhanho wa taala, because he is the master own and maintain

00:26:13 --> 00:26:16

a creative everything that exists including our bodies, yes, we have

00:26:16 --> 00:26:20

agency, but ultimately, Allah owns us, or he has every right to tell

00:26:20 --> 00:26:22

us what to do with our bodies. So that's a very quick way of dealing

00:26:22 --> 00:26:25

with one of the assumptions. Another assumption that they have

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

is there's nothing

00:26:27 --> 00:26:31

immoral. And they would cite, for example, utilitarian ethics of

00:26:31 --> 00:26:36

deontological ethics are like, Well, we are under no epistemic

00:26:36 --> 00:26:40

and moral obligation to adopt utilitarianism and your

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

ontological ethics, we are divine command theorists. And then what

00:26:43 --> 00:26:46

you say is why I disagree with your normative ethical theory.

00:26:46 --> 00:26:49

This is about more of a custom ology. I don't have to agree with

00:26:49 --> 00:26:52

that. Why is objectively true, to adopt a utilitarian or

00:26:52 --> 00:26:56

deontological I'm adopting Divine Command Theory, I can prove that

00:26:56 --> 00:26:59

these commands are from Allah, and that can prove the commands of

00:26:59 --> 00:27:04

Allah are the thing to follow. And therefore, whatever Allah says,

00:27:04 --> 00:27:07

that we should do is, is morally good, and what Allah prohibits,

00:27:08 --> 00:27:11

it's morally bad. So you just unpack that, again, they have this

00:27:11 --> 00:27:16

whole idea of gender fluidity, which is based based on applied

00:27:16 --> 00:27:20

postmodern principles to applied extensions of postmodern

00:27:20 --> 00:27:24

principles. One is hyper skepticism. And the other one is

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

basically there are social hierarchies that dictate what can

00:27:27 --> 00:27:31

be known or not known, and what can be known as perpetuated with

00:27:31 --> 00:27:34

the use of language. And within that they believe that language

00:27:34 --> 00:27:37

does not represent reality, which is not the Islamic discourse,

00:27:37 --> 00:27:41

because Allah taught the names of things to add. So the first point

00:27:41 --> 00:27:45

about hyper skepticism, they basically say that there is no

00:27:45 --> 00:27:49

method to formulate an objective truth. Okay, well, I don't have to

00:27:49 --> 00:27:52

adopt that. How is that true? How is that assumption coherent?

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

Because we can provide methods that can actually produce truths

00:27:57 --> 00:28:01

that are representation of reality. So we're not hyper

00:28:01 --> 00:28:03

skeptical. And the reason that hyper skeptical is that they're

00:28:03 --> 00:28:07

like, well, we disagree with categorizations. We disagree with

00:28:07 --> 00:28:10

gender normativity. We disagree with these things, because it

00:28:10 --> 00:28:14

comes from what you call biology. And they reject any form of

00:28:14 --> 00:28:18

biological essentialism, and even a moderate form because generally

00:28:18 --> 00:28:21

speaking, academics are moderate biological essentialist, they

00:28:21 --> 00:28:23

don't believe everything is biology. It's a combination of

00:28:23 --> 00:28:26

biology and socialization, which is in line with the Quranic

00:28:26 --> 00:28:30

discourse. By they reject all of it, they are very hyper skeptical

00:28:30 --> 00:28:34

about skeptical about scientific truths in categories. So that's so

00:28:34 --> 00:28:37

that's why they would say, you know, is gender fluid you make it

00:28:37 --> 00:28:41

up yourself. And also they say that we live in social hierarchies

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

with oppressive power structures, and they tell us what could be

00:28:45 --> 00:28:47

known or not known. And that's perpetuated with the use of

00:28:47 --> 00:28:49

language to say, No, we should reject this, because you could

00:28:49 --> 00:28:52

change the power structure and change the language therefore you

00:28:52 --> 00:28:56

change what you believe to be true with regards to gender. And you

00:28:56 --> 00:28:59

know, they adopt this kind of Derridean understanding another

00:28:59 --> 00:29:04

French thinker, because the kind of language issue was also based

00:29:04 --> 00:29:07

on Foucault, his idea of discourses and his idea of power.

00:29:08 --> 00:29:11

And it's quite funny that most of these stupid ideas come from

00:29:11 --> 00:29:16

French thinkers. And Foucault was a very immoral human being, oh,

00:29:16 --> 00:29:18

this is one of the worst people. He's one of the worst people on

00:29:18 --> 00:29:22

the earth. This guy? Yeah, he wrecked Tunisia and boys in

00:29:22 --> 00:29:27

graveyards. So. So anyway, and he had his his huge piece of work on

00:29:27 --> 00:29:30

the history of Western sexuality. But anyway, so there is an

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

understanding of language is that language doesn't represent

00:29:33 --> 00:29:37

reality. It's relational. And it's based on structures and it's

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

fallow go centric, meaning it has a male centric bias. So they say

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

when you see what is the opposite of male, you will see female so

00:29:44 --> 00:29:46

it's relational. It doesn't represent reality. It's

00:29:46 --> 00:29:49

relational. And it has its own kind of hierarchy, which is

00:29:49 --> 00:29:53

fallible, centric or androcentric. Based on the mind, we don't adopt

00:29:53 --> 00:29:57

that view of language. We have a lot of talk the names of things to

00:29:57 --> 00:30:00

Adam Alayhis Salam, when you look at the emphasis

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

This means the properties, the features, and so on and so forth.

00:30:03 --> 00:30:06

So I know that I'm going too much into this as much more to unpack

00:30:06 --> 00:30:09

as well, we've got an essay coming out on this, by the way, but that

00:30:09 --> 00:30:13

is another way of unpacking three quick assumptions of the LGBTQ

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

ideological discourse is based on assumptions. And we need to be

00:30:18 --> 00:30:21

able to have to have this critical thinking because the Quranic

00:30:21 --> 00:30:25

discourse does this for us. Allah questions, certain assumptions, or

00:30:25 --> 00:30:28

the implied assumptions of people's discourse, right? You

00:30:28 --> 00:30:31

know, about the, you know, when they said, We're going to follow

00:30:31 --> 00:30:34

our forefathers, Allah addresses it. So we're going to follow them,

00:30:34 --> 00:30:38

even if it's based on falsehood, right? Check out what what is the

00:30:38 --> 00:30:42

basis of what you're following? Is it coherent? Is it sound? Is it

00:30:42 --> 00:30:44

true? Does it have evidence? So?

00:30:45 --> 00:30:49

This was actually a very good question. So in a nutshell, anyone

00:30:49 --> 00:30:52

makes a statement, understand, there is no such thing as a

00:30:52 --> 00:30:56

statement, or an idea or assertion, that is assumption less

00:30:57 --> 00:31:00

everything is on assumptions. Some assumptions are coherent, and

00:31:00 --> 00:31:04

rational. Other assumptions are incoherent and unsound, they're

00:31:04 --> 00:31:06

not rational. And our job is to

00:31:07 --> 00:31:10

those assumptions are and to discuss them. I'm telling you,

00:31:10 --> 00:31:11

this crisis is

00:31:12 --> 00:31:16

opening a lot of people a lot of people's eyes to a lot of things.

00:31:16 --> 00:31:22

First of all, there there are the visuals. And how do we recognize a

00:31:22 --> 00:31:28

sound, visual video or image as an as proof as evidence, so we're

00:31:28 --> 00:31:32

learning some epistemology there, right, an image today almost means

00:31:32 --> 00:31:37

nothing. A video is probably still piece of evidence, if it has

00:31:37 --> 00:31:40

context around it that you could tell what time in place this took

00:31:40 --> 00:31:42

place this occurred. Thirdly,

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

we have now arguments like this. Now, let me give you another

00:31:47 --> 00:31:51

argument that needs soup that I find repeated all over the place.

00:31:51 --> 00:31:54

And many different pro Israel spokespeople bring this up. And

00:31:54 --> 00:32:00

it's a it's a sign of where you stand. And that statement goes

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

like this that says, look, there are 50 Plus Islamic countries, why

00:32:05 --> 00:32:09

are they all refusing to take Palestinian refugees?

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

But doesn't that say something about Palestinians? So that's

00:32:14 --> 00:32:17

another one of these arguments. I'm going to open up a couple of

00:32:17 --> 00:32:20

doors here, and then you could take it away. The first one is

00:32:20 --> 00:32:25

that, is that even a fact? Number one? Because don't forget it.

00:32:25 --> 00:32:28

Sometimes there's trickery, sometimes they're straight up

00:32:28 --> 00:32:31

lies. So is that even a fact? That's number one. Number two,

00:32:34 --> 00:32:39

there is a trick of misdirection, as well, magicians, they have some

00:32:39 --> 00:32:45

very simple things like Miss directions, right? My assistant

00:32:45 --> 00:32:49

will fall over there. Right? Well, while there, you can't resist

00:32:49 --> 00:32:52

watching the assistant fall, everyone's all the attention is

00:32:52 --> 00:32:55

gonna go there. Well, something's happening with my right hand over

00:32:55 --> 00:32:59

here. That's just very simple misdirection. So wait, it's like

00:32:59 --> 00:33:03

why are we even asking that question? Right? Shouldn't we be

00:33:03 --> 00:33:07

asking the right question? Who's why are they refugees in the first

00:33:07 --> 00:33:11

place? And is it right to live refugees? So again, so these are

00:33:11 --> 00:33:16

more tricks of the trade, and the marketing industry is an industry

00:33:16 --> 00:33:20

that can be used for good or it's, it's really backed by bliss and

00:33:20 --> 00:33:24

his tricks. And this is just one of them? And I see so many people,

00:33:24 --> 00:33:27

you know, repeat this question. And then you just see the

00:33:27 --> 00:33:30

comments. And they've achieved all because they're terrorists all

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

because but you, you know, accepted two of these promises or

00:33:36 --> 00:33:39

two of these tricks and you've ingested them. And as a result,

00:33:39 --> 00:33:43

poison is grown in your heart now, so take it away on that.

00:33:44 --> 00:33:45

I mean,

00:33:46 --> 00:33:49

I think you've answered it. But I think one one thing that they've

00:33:49 --> 00:33:53

admitted in that statement is that they're creating refugees. That's

00:33:53 --> 00:33:57

exactly it. Oh, by the way, before you continue with Leanne, from

00:33:57 --> 00:34:00

Instagram, again, you come on to YouTube, this is where you're

00:34:00 --> 00:34:02

going to find the recording, but also you'll find the full picture

00:34:02 --> 00:34:07

again, to other similar, so they've admitted in that statement

00:34:07 --> 00:34:09

that actually creating refugees. So what they've done is they've

00:34:09 --> 00:34:14

admitted to ethnic cleansing, committed to displacement. Well,

00:34:14 --> 00:34:17

you're in the wrong you're already the aggressor. So there is a kind

00:34:17 --> 00:34:20

of hierarchy of things to do from a moral opposite from a moral

00:34:20 --> 00:34:23

perspective, the first thing that we should aim to do is push back

00:34:23 --> 00:34:27

the aggressor give people back their land. Yeah, right. You know,

00:34:27 --> 00:34:31

allow people the right to return. That's the main thing we should be

00:34:31 --> 00:34:35

focusing on not accepting all of these refugees. So that really

00:34:35 --> 00:34:39

kind of inadvertently admitted that the aggression the creating

00:34:39 --> 00:34:40

refugees.

00:34:41 --> 00:34:45

The other thing to also point out is, well, is the statement factual

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

in of itself, there around 5 million Palestinian refugees all

00:34:49 --> 00:34:52

around the world, many of them in Jordan, other places. I think for

00:34:52 --> 00:34:56

every one refuge for every 10 refugees, I think three of them

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

are Palestinian, or even maybe more and from that person

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

activ where are these refugees, they have been taken in by many

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

Arab countries. So the statement itself is not factual at all. And

00:35:08 --> 00:35:12

also, we can also miss direct in a positive way we can say, Okay,

00:35:13 --> 00:35:17

well, since there are refugees, what is the status the legal

00:35:17 --> 00:35:19

status of these refugees, and according to international law,

00:35:19 --> 00:35:25

they have a legal right to return. And this is something very

00:35:25 --> 00:35:28

important, right? So you could just reframe it and say, no, no,

00:35:28 --> 00:35:31

this is the wrong discussion. These refugees, they have a legal

00:35:31 --> 00:35:35

right to return why aren't we asking that question? Because when

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

for every question, it hides another question that is more

00:35:38 --> 00:35:41

valid, right? So that's something that we need to push back and say,

00:35:41 --> 00:35:44

Well, why don't we give these refugees back their home? Isn't

00:35:44 --> 00:35:47

that the right thing to do? Unless you want to make them permanent

00:35:47 --> 00:35:50

refugees? Is that what you're implying? Right. So that's very,

00:35:50 --> 00:35:54

very important. Also, what it does it kind of moralize is their

00:35:54 --> 00:35:58

campaign. And they like saying, Well, this is a necessary evil to

00:35:58 --> 00:36:02

create all of these refugees. So can you please take them they know

00:36:02 --> 00:36:05

what you're doing? You're You're the one who's the aggressor. So

00:36:05 --> 00:36:08

what you do is you just focus back on the point that what you're

00:36:08 --> 00:36:12

doing and creating these refugees is illegal is based on apartheid

00:36:12 --> 00:36:17

is based on ethnic cleansing, is based on decades of, you know,

00:36:17 --> 00:36:23

Hmong could argue systematic over a period of time. It's a form of

00:36:23 --> 00:36:24

systematic genocide, right?

00:36:25 --> 00:36:28

So from that perspective, those are the kinds of things that we

00:36:28 --> 00:36:31

could push back on by just number one, finding out what other

00:36:31 --> 00:36:35

questions that are hiding. Number two, what key assumptions that

00:36:35 --> 00:36:38

they are, that they have in unpacking them and discussing the

00:36:38 --> 00:36:42

coherence, or the lack of evidence. And also, another thing

00:36:42 --> 00:36:45

that's very important to highlight is, is to

00:36:46 --> 00:36:51

understand what they are implying, because implying that they are

00:36:51 --> 00:36:54

actually creating these refugees. Oh, so if it was an immediate

00:36:54 --> 00:36:57

situation, I would say to them, because don't forget, this is not

00:36:57 --> 00:37:01

just a philosophical exercise. It's also a kind of emotional

00:37:01 --> 00:37:05

intelligence media exercise. So someone said to me, why aren't

00:37:05 --> 00:37:08

these Arab countries taking on these refugees? Like Bo? Before we

00:37:08 --> 00:37:12

should even answer that really nonsensical question, we have to

00:37:12 --> 00:37:15

really find out why they're refugees in the first place. Oh,

00:37:15 --> 00:37:19

and when we find out why they're refugees is because of, you know,

00:37:19 --> 00:37:25

genocide, apartheid, aggression, tyranny, illegal occupation. So

00:37:25 --> 00:37:27

isn't that the right question that we should be asking that we

00:37:27 --> 00:37:30

shouldn't be creating these refugees in the first place that

00:37:30 --> 00:37:32

the right questions should be there's a hierarchy of moral

00:37:32 --> 00:37:36

questions. So take the refugees, it is stop creating these refugees

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

and stop creating the tyranny that is producing these refugees. So we

00:37:40 --> 00:37:42

have to learn to basically what you call turn the tables from that

00:37:42 --> 00:37:43

perspective.

00:37:44 --> 00:37:48

analogy is always a great example. You give them a Muhammad a job

00:37:48 --> 00:37:52

gave the analogy of the * How about the analogy of someone

00:37:52 --> 00:37:59

stealing a car? Okay, so you see a guy victimizing a driver, beating

00:37:59 --> 00:38:04

him up stealing his car, then turning to you, and saying, Hey,

00:38:04 --> 00:38:09

you mind giving this guy a ride? Right? Well, hold on a second are,

00:38:09 --> 00:38:14

am I now complicit in this theft? There's another layer to this. If

00:38:14 --> 00:38:17

I say y'all give them a ride, I just made your Theft easier,

00:38:17 --> 00:38:19

right? And

00:38:21 --> 00:38:25

if somebody had called it that, the liberals will come in to try

00:38:25 --> 00:38:30

to appear sensitive to the victim. But in reality they're doing

00:38:30 --> 00:38:34

they're doing Zionist a favor by by announcing, hey, we'll take all

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

the refugees like we will we want to take 100,000 refugees want to

00:38:38 --> 00:38:43

take 10,000 refugees, it appears that you're you're you're

00:38:43 --> 00:38:45

sympathizing with these Palestinians, you want to help

00:38:45 --> 00:38:49

them, right. In reality, this is the end result that designers want

00:38:49 --> 00:38:53

to they want to empty the land. Right? Yes. So there's another

00:38:53 --> 00:38:56

layer to that, and that hold on, this is an act of complicit

00:38:56 --> 00:38:59

complicity, and this is why Malcolm X, he said the liberal is

00:38:59 --> 00:39:03

far worse, morally, far worse, right than

00:39:04 --> 00:39:08

the racist who just was telling you he wants to kill you. Because

00:39:08 --> 00:39:12

this guy, yes, he's living with the conservative in the same real

00:39:13 --> 00:39:17

in the same world. And he's doing the same thing while appearing

00:39:17 --> 00:39:19

sensitive and sympathetic.

00:39:20 --> 00:39:25

Hmm. And also, another layer is also that, well, if they're

00:39:25 --> 00:39:28

refugees, and the reason that they are refugees, they're being

00:39:28 --> 00:39:32

occupied and expelled and fnd cleansed. Well, according to the

00:39:32 --> 00:39:37

UN General Assembly, and according to additions, I think protocol one

00:39:37 --> 00:39:41

of the Geneva Conventions, these people have a right to resist by

00:39:41 --> 00:39:47

the way a legal right to, to pick up arms and resist by people are

00:39:47 --> 00:39:52

not aware of that. Yeah, this is international law, that, that if

00:39:52 --> 00:39:55

people are occupied, people are being ethnically cleansed

00:39:55 --> 00:39:57

according to the UN General Assembly according to Geneva

00:39:57 --> 00:40:00

Conventions, additions to the do

00:40:00 --> 00:40:03

Geneva conventions that they can actually have an armed struggle.

00:40:03 --> 00:40:06

But when you talk about thought experiments, I did a video on

00:40:06 --> 00:40:09

reframing that narrative. And I felt thought experiments were

00:40:09 --> 00:40:12

very, very good. So I gave an example about London. Imagine

00:40:12 --> 00:40:17

France occupied London for 75 years. Yeah. Okay, illegal

00:40:17 --> 00:40:22

occupation of London by the French for 75 years. And they ethnic

00:40:22 --> 00:40:26

ethnically cleansed hundreds of 1000s of Brits, and they

00:40:26 --> 00:40:30

implemented an apartheid system. And they were tyrannical and they

00:40:30 --> 00:40:34

were killed children in the hundreds over a couple of years.

00:40:34 --> 00:40:37

Right. What would the international community do my

00:40:37 --> 00:40:38

friend?

00:40:39 --> 00:40:42

It's as simple as that. Yeah, there is. People talk about this

00:40:42 --> 00:40:46

whole conflict with limit of conflict, this crisis in a kind of

00:40:46 --> 00:40:51

symmetrical way. There is no symmetry here. It's asymmetrical,

00:40:51 --> 00:40:56

from a moral and even militaristic perspective, and we have to unpack

00:40:56 --> 00:41:01

that false assumption of symmetry, that is, how much of it is is to

00:41:01 --> 00:41:05

equal powers and the fighting, which is false. And you know, even

00:41:05 --> 00:41:08

from a UK perspective, how much is yeah, how much is a proscribed

00:41:08 --> 00:41:11

group, right? So Hamas and Islamic Jihad are proscribed terrorist

00:41:11 --> 00:41:15

groups are going to UK law. But that discourse also hide

00:41:15 --> 00:41:20

something. There's a hidden assumption that there are no other

00:41:20 --> 00:41:23

legal factions that actually resist an occupation. There are

00:41:23 --> 00:41:27

other legal factions that are resisting occupation. And they are

00:41:27 --> 00:41:30

covered by international law. Right. So that's another thing

00:41:30 --> 00:41:32

that you could bring into the, into the discourse into the

00:41:32 --> 00:41:36

equation. So the refugee you're saying the Gaza and the

00:41:36 --> 00:41:39

Palestinian, it does have a legal category, even if he doesn't have

00:41:39 --> 00:41:40

a state.

00:41:42 --> 00:41:45

He has a legal category of the ethnically cleansed who has the

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

right to fight back.

00:41:47 --> 00:41:50

And notice that they have a right to actual if they're in the

00:41:50 --> 00:41:54

conflict from understanding of the legal international law. If

00:41:54 --> 00:41:56

someone is an occupying, they're coming to occupy you and they're

00:41:56 --> 00:41:59

currently occupying, you have a legal right to resist. That's

00:41:59 --> 00:42:02

number one. Number two, if you're a refugee, especially the

00:42:02 --> 00:42:06

Palestinian refugees are going to the UN, they have a legal right to

00:42:06 --> 00:42:11

return. Yeah, right. So this what it is you take these guys

00:42:11 --> 00:42:15

permanently, is actually not in line with morality, or even with

00:42:15 --> 00:42:18

international law. By the way, they're not always the same

00:42:18 --> 00:42:21

morality and international law. But you know, what I'm trying to

00:42:21 --> 00:42:24

say. So that's another thing that we need to basically started to

00:42:24 --> 00:42:29

unpack. And slowly the pressure has, I think we're winning the

00:42:29 --> 00:42:35

online informational war, there is this politician. And he's the head

00:42:35 --> 00:42:40

of the Labour Party, and he's an absolute weasel. He is a weasel a

00:42:40 --> 00:42:44

poor excuse of a politician, and a poor excuse of a human being. He,

00:42:44 --> 00:42:49

he is a lawyer as well, by trade. And his first statements were, you

00:42:49 --> 00:42:53

know, Israel has the right to defend itself. And Israel could

00:42:53 --> 00:42:58

basically turn off the water, turn off electricity, stopped the food,

00:42:58 --> 00:42:59

basically just, you know,

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

break international law, and there was so much pressure on him within

00:43:04 --> 00:43:09

his party, and external to it. And now he started to subtly change

00:43:09 --> 00:43:13

his discourse. It's not good enough, for sure. But it goes to

00:43:13 --> 00:43:17

show that pressure and winning the information war is is is

00:43:17 --> 00:43:21

important. It's like it adds layers to the intellectual

00:43:21 --> 00:43:25

resistance if you like, and, you know, every drop raises the ocean,

00:43:25 --> 00:43:29

and that's why I've focused on my social media, since it started

00:43:29 --> 00:43:35

just purely, like 99% or 95%, just on what's happening in Palestine,

00:43:35 --> 00:43:37

because the whole Palestinian issue, because we have other

00:43:37 --> 00:43:40

issues as well. We've got the Uighur issue. There's an illegal

00:43:40 --> 00:43:44

occupation there. There is a genocide happening in East East

00:43:44 --> 00:43:47

Pakistan. And we're going to talk about this too. And we need to be

00:43:47 --> 00:43:50

vocal about this as well. But the thing about Palestine, from my

00:43:50 --> 00:43:53

perspective, and you could correct me if I'm wrong, check. It's It's

00:43:53 --> 00:43:58

It's civilizational. You know, from from $1 perspective, you

00:43:58 --> 00:44:00

know, the famous Hadith with a nice was were calm, and there'll

00:44:00 --> 00:44:04

be devouring the Muslims and will be big in number will be like the

00:44:04 --> 00:44:07

form of the scum of the sea for the reason we're not going to be

00:44:07 --> 00:44:11

successful because of one because of fear of death and love of the

00:44:11 --> 00:44:15

dunya. And Palestine, from my perspective sits within that

00:44:15 --> 00:44:20

civilizational struggle. You know, if Palestine falls, if Aqsa falls,

00:44:20 --> 00:44:23

then that is the beginning of the end from that perspective. Yeah.

00:44:23 --> 00:44:28

And so we yeah, we have to see from a civilizational perspective.

00:44:28 --> 00:44:31

And once we do that, we could frame it from adult perspective as

00:44:31 --> 00:44:35

well, because I do believe that in we're going to be doing this in an

00:44:35 --> 00:44:38

essay that's coming up and reframing the narrative to link it

00:44:38 --> 00:44:42

to the dour because it's important, because we want to show

00:44:42 --> 00:44:45

a few things number one that Muslims are people of Huck.

00:44:45 --> 00:44:48

Muslims are people of justice, even if it's against our own

00:44:48 --> 00:44:53

selves, and this is a Quranic paradigm that Muslims are a

00:44:53 --> 00:44:56

civilization of brotherhood and sisterhood. We believe in the

00:44:56 --> 00:44:59

human family, but we also believe in the very unique Islam

00:45:00 --> 00:45:04

Family, and that we're like one body. If anything happens to any

00:45:04 --> 00:45:08

part of the body, we're going to respond with fever. Right? And so

00:45:08 --> 00:45:12

we feel that pain, we have this kind of collective consciousness

00:45:12 --> 00:45:16

and collective empathy. And when when we unpack one of these kinds

00:45:16 --> 00:45:19

of principles, and these moral outlooks we say this has come from

00:45:19 --> 00:45:22

the Quran, this has come from the Quran and the Sunnah. And the

00:45:22 --> 00:45:25

reason they're true, and the reason you're inspired by this

00:45:25 --> 00:45:29

courage, and this brotherhood and this call for justice, and this

00:45:29 --> 00:45:33

principle stance and this bravery and so on and so forth, is because

00:45:33 --> 00:45:38

our foundation is Islam. And that is based on the Quran and the

00:45:38 --> 00:45:41

Sunnah of the Prophet Salam. And I would like to introduce to you why

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

these things are true, why Allah is one why he's worthy of worship,

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

why you must follow the best person to walk this planet, who

00:45:48 --> 00:45:51

was the Prophet sallallahu ala who was salam. So you can link the

00:45:51 --> 00:45:57

whole kind of crisis, the Gaza crisis, to Tao as well. And it's

00:45:57 --> 00:45:59

been actually happening, people have been looking at the way that

00:45:59 --> 00:46:04

Palestinians have have responded that limit, Palestinians are cut

00:46:04 --> 00:46:09

from a different cloth. There was one man I saw, I think his family

00:46:09 --> 00:46:13

passed away. He had a whole box of sweets. And he was giving the

00:46:13 --> 00:46:19

sweet saw as a celebration Sahana because he had the conviction that

00:46:19 --> 00:46:25

his family became martyrs. And as you know, a martyr can intercede

00:46:25 --> 00:46:28

for what cemetery members of their families. So he's in a sense of

00:46:28 --> 00:46:33

joy, because he has this metaphysical. He has this Arcata

00:46:33 --> 00:46:39

centric mindset that he knows that Jana Israel, the nod Israel,

00:46:39 --> 00:46:43

Allah's promise Israel, and whatever happens is seen from that

00:46:43 --> 00:46:47

paradigm. So when someone is inspired by that, they're gonna

00:46:47 --> 00:46:49

start reading the Quran. We don't where did they get this

00:46:49 --> 00:46:52

inspiration from? And then we could introduce them to our

00:46:52 --> 00:46:55

worldview, introduce them to the Quran, introduce them to the

00:46:55 --> 00:46:58

Sunnah, introduce them to the veracity of Islam, and that their

00:46:58 --> 00:47:02

purpose is to basically humbly adore Allah subhanaw taala, which

00:47:02 --> 00:47:05

I think is the best translation for a better to worship Allah

00:47:05 --> 00:47:10

humble adoration. Yeah. So I think it's important to have a dour

00:47:10 --> 00:47:12

narrative as well link it to the dark because people aren't

00:47:12 --> 00:47:16

inspired. And there is an inspirational vacuum sometimes,

00:47:16 --> 00:47:20

you know, because states of being give rise to states of being so

00:47:20 --> 00:47:23

courage, give rise to courage, for sure. But then people going to

00:47:23 --> 00:47:26

think about okay, but I want to be like that person. I don't want to

00:47:26 --> 00:47:29

just be inspired by him. I want to be self inspired. Where are they

00:47:29 --> 00:47:31

getting that from? And then we say, well, we know what is the

00:47:31 --> 00:47:37

song, you want to be like the Palestinians, courageous, having

00:47:37 --> 00:47:41

full conviction in the ocra believe having this full faith,

00:47:41 --> 00:47:45

unwavering faith, then you need to follow what they're following?

00:47:45 --> 00:47:49

Yeah. And by the way, let me show you why it's true. Yeah. So that's

00:47:49 --> 00:47:54

an important dollar note, I think it's so important that the

00:47:54 --> 00:47:57

demonstration is far more important than the words, right,

00:47:57 --> 00:47:59

and the Palestinians are now are really

00:48:00 --> 00:48:04

demonstrating to people how to react when bad things happen. And

00:48:04 --> 00:48:10

this is the number one source of people's doubts, and and even

00:48:10 --> 00:48:14

sometimes, you know, they call this word faith crisis, which I

00:48:14 --> 00:48:17

hate to hear and hate to say, to see. But people say, you know,

00:48:17 --> 00:48:23

like, that. They're just collapsing on the inside. Why, at

00:48:23 --> 00:48:26

the end result, something you didn't want to happen happened,

00:48:26 --> 00:48:29

right? Well, but that's part of life. And now Allah has chosen

00:48:29 --> 00:48:34

these people to be a shining example, in front of the whole

00:48:34 --> 00:48:38

world of how a believer would react. Right. And these are not,

00:48:39 --> 00:48:42

these are regular believers. These are people who probably had less

00:48:42 --> 00:48:45

access to anything else, institutionally, intellectually,

00:48:45 --> 00:48:49

spiritually, even. They don't have spiritual gatherings over there

00:48:49 --> 00:48:52

for you to let you know, in the last period of time, but what they

00:48:52 --> 00:48:57

did have is practice and repetitions at bad things

00:48:57 --> 00:49:02

happening. And they got so good at reacting or handling, I should say

00:49:02 --> 00:49:06

and absorbing bad things happening, right? It's almost the

00:49:06 --> 00:49:09

difference, like the Western Muslim, most people and the people

00:49:09 --> 00:49:13

of Philistine are almost like the difference between somebody who

00:49:13 --> 00:49:18

trained in boxing, versus somebody who walks down the street and

00:49:18 --> 00:49:22

faces a bully every single day. never gets any training, right?

00:49:22 --> 00:49:26

Which one is going to do better? Which one is going to be the

00:49:26 --> 00:49:29

shining example will probably the one who actually deals with a

00:49:29 --> 00:49:33

living bully every day, not five trainers, oiling him up and

00:49:33 --> 00:49:36

telling him how to act and how to fight. Right. So

00:49:37 --> 00:49:42

I'd like now to shift to two discussions internally for

00:49:42 --> 00:49:49

Muslims. Number one, the relation of watching bad things happen and

00:49:49 --> 00:49:49

II Men.

00:49:50 --> 00:49:56

And I have to say I was sort of almost upset, semi disgusted, even

00:49:56 --> 00:49:59

when some people made complaints that

00:50:00 --> 00:50:03

they're collapsing on the inside their Eman is suffering,

00:50:03 --> 00:50:05

decreasing, watching what's happening.

00:50:06 --> 00:50:10

We're just like, what happened if this happened to you? Right? What

00:50:10 --> 00:50:16

would happen? Like how soft? How untrained have we become in bad

00:50:16 --> 00:50:19

things happening? Right? And one of the things I believe is part of

00:50:19 --> 00:50:23

parenting is that there is a rule, you cannot do bad things to your

00:50:23 --> 00:50:29

kids, right? But there are rules. Implementing the rules of our

00:50:29 --> 00:50:33

house is the closest you can do to bringing a bad thing upon your

00:50:33 --> 00:50:36

kid, you're not allowed to bring bad things to them, right? But we

00:50:36 --> 00:50:40

have rules. So you don't like the rule? That's a bad thing happening

00:50:40 --> 00:50:43

that has a justified cause you need to not deal with it. Right?

00:50:43 --> 00:50:49

It's completely legitimate. So how weak have we become, how untrained

00:50:49 --> 00:50:51

have we become and bad things happening? We ask Allah never to

00:50:51 --> 00:50:55

bring us bad things. But can you speak about this is this is one of

00:50:55 --> 00:50:58

two subjects internally that I think

00:51:00 --> 00:51:04

this situation is sort of bringing out and hopefully we can make the

00:51:04 --> 00:51:08

best of it. But bad things happening. affecting people's

00:51:08 --> 00:51:10

Eman? Where's Allah's help?

00:51:11 --> 00:51:14

You know, what's very interesting, you'll have brothers or sisters or

00:51:14 --> 00:51:18

people in general, looking at the horrific pictures of a child whose

00:51:18 --> 00:51:23

face has been blown and his legs are blown away and he's half alive

00:51:23 --> 00:51:28

and he's been resuscitated, or he has medics trained to resuscitate

00:51:28 --> 00:51:32

him. Now they would watch that and they're like, Oh, my God, my Iman,

00:51:32 --> 00:51:36

how can Allah allow this to happen? But his parents are like

00:51:36 --> 00:51:41

rejoicing. His parents are like giving people sweets. And so it

00:51:41 --> 00:51:45

goes to show it's about the meaning that you give to the

00:51:45 --> 00:51:48

suffering of the Quran is full of what you call cognitive spiritual

00:51:48 --> 00:51:49

reframing.

00:51:50 --> 00:51:54

Good things are gonna happen, bad things are gonna happen. Our job

00:51:54 --> 00:51:59

is to stand in the possibility that the meaning you're giving

00:51:59 --> 00:52:03

this experience this bad or good thing is not the only meaning. And

00:52:03 --> 00:52:06

you should give the meaning that Allah and His Messenger want you

00:52:06 --> 00:52:10

to give it. So for example, from a very basic perspective, Allah says

00:52:10 --> 00:52:14

in chapter 67, that life is the test Allah would test you, right?

00:52:16 --> 00:52:20

That life is a test, you create a death and life to test you do his

00:52:20 --> 00:52:25

best and conduct. So life is a test by test to go where a test

00:52:25 --> 00:52:29

and we hope to go to Jannah which is eternal bliss. What is the

00:52:29 --> 00:52:31

eternal bliss, famous Hadith of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa

00:52:31 --> 00:52:35

sallam, he talks about the most miserable person in the dunya like

00:52:35 --> 00:52:39

the one who suffered the most. And if they're destined for Jana,

00:52:39 --> 00:52:43

there will be dipped for a split moment in paradise Subhan Allah

00:52:43 --> 00:52:48

and there'll be asked, Did you ever suffer? No, say Wallahi I

00:52:48 --> 00:52:51

have never suffered Subhan Allah. So you have you need to have the

00:52:51 --> 00:52:55

number one aka centric perspective, understand that good

00:52:55 --> 00:53:00

and evil is a test. And understand that Allah has given us tools,

00:53:00 --> 00:53:01

spiritual tools,

00:53:03 --> 00:53:06

and even hikma wisdom behind why even a suffering exists in the

00:53:06 --> 00:53:10

first place. And there are so many things, for example, it's your

00:53:10 --> 00:53:16

elevation, it's the removal of your sin. It's a mechanism to

00:53:16 --> 00:53:19

detach your heart away from the dunya there is a Hadith that says

00:53:19 --> 00:53:25

the source of all evil is Hubbard. Dunya. Right? Is the love of the

00:53:25 --> 00:53:29

dunya. Right? Even our civilizational collapse is based

00:53:29 --> 00:53:33

on one which is love of the dunya and fear of death. So seems

00:53:33 --> 00:53:37

calamities, your heart becomes less attached to the dunya and it

00:53:37 --> 00:53:39

facilitates your spiritual affairs and even your civilizational

00:53:39 --> 00:53:42

affairs as well. So there's all of these wisdoms that are happening.

00:53:43 --> 00:53:46

And so when you see it from that perspective, everything changes so

00:53:46 --> 00:53:51

say you're in Palestine, something happens to your children and may

00:53:51 --> 00:53:54

Allah protect everyone's children or something happens. You need to

00:53:54 --> 00:53:59

now make a decision do I give the meaning my enough's wants to give

00:53:59 --> 00:54:01

it or am I going to give it the meaning of Allah wants to give it

00:54:02 --> 00:54:05

critical? So you think, Okay, I'm gonna give it the right meaning

00:54:05 --> 00:54:08

and the right meaning is the meaning that Allah wants to give

00:54:08 --> 00:54:10

it so what what is the cognitive spiritual framing

00:54:11 --> 00:54:12

shahada

00:54:13 --> 00:54:16

a martyr, he is

00:54:17 --> 00:54:21

taking all of our family to paradise interseting for us, he is

00:54:21 --> 00:54:24

going to be in Eternal Bliss with Allah subhanho wa Taala I know I

00:54:24 --> 00:54:29

need to have Hudson oven Billa a good opinion of Allah right which

00:54:29 --> 00:54:34

is also based on the Hadith curtsy where Allah subhanho wa Taala says

00:54:34 --> 00:54:39

that I am as my seven thinks that I am in the Arabic it also means I

00:54:39 --> 00:54:42

am as my seven expects me to be. And if you have good expectations

00:54:42 --> 00:54:45

of Allah, you will find a lot greater than any of your

00:54:45 --> 00:54:51

expectations. So I've been Billa I know he's been martyred. I know

00:54:51 --> 00:54:56

this will facilitate Jana and I know my child now is experiencing

00:54:56 --> 00:55:00

bliss and his bliss is going to facilitate our eternal bliss. Now

00:55:00 --> 00:55:02

that change, you're still going to suffer, you still going to feel

00:55:02 --> 00:55:06

pain, but that drastically changes the meaning you've given that

00:55:06 --> 00:55:09

experience. And that allows you to transcend that suffering. There's

00:55:09 --> 00:55:12

a really interesting book is it's not by a Muslim, it's actually a

00:55:12 --> 00:55:16

Holocaust survivor, Viktor Frankl, you're on the book, man's ultimate

00:55:16 --> 00:55:20

search for meaning. It's actually a really good book, he kind of is

00:55:20 --> 00:55:24

in gratitude to the Nazis, for his suffering, which is because it

00:55:24 --> 00:55:28

gave him meaning gave him a sense of ease because he was able to

00:55:28 --> 00:55:30

give the right meaning to suffering in order for him to

00:55:30 --> 00:55:34

transcend that suffering. Yeah. Now we have the truth, which is

00:55:34 --> 00:55:37

the Quran and the Sunnah. And Allah is telling us what meaning

00:55:37 --> 00:55:39

we must give the suffering and when you give it the right

00:55:39 --> 00:55:42

meaning. It allows you to transcend that suffering tick

00:55:42 --> 00:55:46

about Surah Al CalHFA. And this is quite emotional. The presence

00:55:46 --> 00:55:51

Salam was the most merciful human being to evoke this planet. No one

00:55:51 --> 00:55:52

is more merciful than him.

00:55:53 --> 00:55:57

And he had intense mercy and love for the believers. Imagine the

00:55:57 --> 00:55:58

love they had for his own son.

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

It's unimaginable. His son Ibrahim passes away.

00:56:05 --> 00:56:11

He's holding Abraham he's hearing his uncle's the Arabs, the

00:56:11 --> 00:56:15

caressing his avatar, he's cut off, he's got no lineage us.

00:56:16 --> 00:56:20

And the person was probably crying. And imagine the love that

00:56:20 --> 00:56:21

he had.

00:56:22 --> 00:56:26

And how does Allah address the process someone doesn't give him a

00:56:26 --> 00:56:32

divine condolence, Allah drastically, emphatically changes

00:56:32 --> 00:56:36

the cognitive and spiritual architecture of the process alone.

00:56:36 --> 00:56:41

Because he reveals I'll Kalfa indeed, verily, We We have given

00:56:41 --> 00:56:44

you the abundance, if you study just the Linguistics of the first

00:56:44 --> 00:56:49

if it is so emphatic is unbelievable. You have the inner

00:56:49 --> 00:56:53

the emphasis, you have the the plural, then you have a pain,

00:56:53 --> 00:56:56

which means not only am I giving you something, but the thing I'm

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

giving you I actually own I'm giving you with my own hand, and

00:57:00 --> 00:57:03

alfalfa, which means a river in paradise, but you could take the

00:57:03 --> 00:57:05

linguistic meaning which is Katara, Kathy, and you have the

00:57:05 --> 00:57:10

while in the CalHFA, which means perpetuity, continuing abundance,

00:57:11 --> 00:57:16

straightaway, bam, bam, bam. And then is killing the process on how

00:57:16 --> 00:57:20

to respond to that gratitude for suddenly the robic one hurray for

00:57:20 --> 00:57:24

pray to Allah and sacrifice and it's the one who hates us on a new

00:57:24 --> 00:57:28

treaty cut off. Now, if you study we'll come into linguistics and

00:57:28 --> 00:57:30

all of that right now. But if you study the whole, the Surah, it

00:57:30 --> 00:57:35

gives that kind of psycho linguistic impact that changes the

00:57:35 --> 00:57:41

framing of the process and changes it from one of being upset one of

00:57:41 --> 00:57:44

of morning to one of gratitude, and when you're in a state of

00:57:44 --> 00:57:48

gratitude, you can't be in any other state. This is not an

00:57:48 --> 00:57:52

insular Kalfa, we have sort of Doha we have how the person spoke

00:57:52 --> 00:57:56

to Musa alayhis, salam, and so on and so forth. The Quran focuses a

00:57:56 --> 00:57:59

lot on cognitive and spiritual reframing, because life is going

00:57:59 --> 00:58:03

to happen, life's gonna kick you in the teeth, right? And Allah

00:58:03 --> 00:58:07

says, if you want goodness, for someone, he is going to test them.

00:58:07 --> 00:58:11

Right? If he wants goodness, if he loves the people, he's going to

00:58:11 --> 00:58:15

give them tests. So we have to now respond to those tests in a way

00:58:15 --> 00:58:18

that shows that we are the beloved to Allah subhanaw taala. And the

00:58:18 --> 00:58:23

way to do that is to take the mean the Quran, and Sunnah wants us to

00:58:23 --> 00:58:28

take and give it to that calamity. And at the end of the day, is all

00:58:28 --> 00:58:31

affair. At the end of the day. And after when I talk about courage, I

00:58:31 --> 00:58:34

have a video on courage coming out, based on what's happening in

00:58:34 --> 00:58:38

Gaza. And one thing I mentioned is, the way to cheat to become

00:58:38 --> 00:58:41

courageous is when you become you overcome, you have to change your

00:58:41 --> 00:58:45

state of being, don't focus on the action, focus on your state of

00:58:45 --> 00:58:48

being and is around nine points or eight points that I mentioned. And

00:58:48 --> 00:58:52

one of them is that think about what is the worst thing that can

00:58:52 --> 00:58:55

happen. Now for the Muslim because we have that conviction, we have

00:58:55 --> 00:59:00

that veracity of the intellectual basis of Islam, and we know it's

00:59:00 --> 00:59:01

true.

00:59:02 --> 00:59:05

We know that the worst thing really is that we die.

00:59:06 --> 00:59:11

So and for the Muslims, so if you want if you love to meet Allah,

00:59:11 --> 00:59:15

Allah will love to meet you. You have done Billa You did the right

00:59:15 --> 00:59:19

thing. And whether you said or acted upon, ended up in your

00:59:19 --> 00:59:22

demise then at the end of the day is all good. You will meet in

00:59:22 --> 00:59:27

alpha dude you meet in the most loving road right so so, you know

00:59:27 --> 00:59:30

things like this helps you reframe and

00:59:32 --> 00:59:35

reframe the narrative if you like reframe your own internal

00:59:35 --> 00:59:38

narrative, it does that cognitive spiritual reframing and the Quran

00:59:38 --> 00:59:42

is full of other Hadith for example, you know, your sins are

00:59:42 --> 00:59:45

removed even if you get hurt with a pick up a phone. And you know,

00:59:45 --> 00:59:49

adjuvant. Amazing is the situation of the believer if something bad

00:59:49 --> 00:59:52

happens to him, his patient that's good for him if something good

00:59:52 --> 00:59:57

befalls him, his thankfulness also good for him to so many even when

00:59:57 --> 01:00:00

you think about various Hadith concerning the

01:00:00 --> 01:00:03

One who drowned as a martyr, the one who defends his religion as a

01:00:03 --> 01:00:07

martyr, the one who defends his family is what is the martyr

01:00:07 --> 01:00:12

Minamata means first class ticket straight to eternal bliss. Right?

01:00:12 --> 01:00:17

So, in a nutshell, standing the possibility that the meaning

01:00:17 --> 01:00:20

you're giving this trauma or experience is not the only meaning

01:00:21 --> 01:00:25

and standing the possibility that the mean that Allah and His

01:00:25 --> 01:00:28

Messenger want you to give is the correct meaning. And you'll be

01:00:28 --> 01:00:31

able to transcend that suffering in a way that allows you to keep

01:00:31 --> 01:00:37

on moving forward and increase your Mr. Beautiful. This issue of

01:00:37 --> 01:00:43

meaning has got to be the most painful aspect of a trauma, the

01:00:43 --> 01:00:48

meaninglessness of it. And as we continue here, we are speaking

01:00:48 --> 01:00:54

with Hamza sources. Some sisters are asking your users on Instagram

01:00:54 --> 01:00:58

somebody has seen who was the speaker's Hamza sources. He's

01:00:58 --> 01:01:02

British. He's in England and he has Sapiens Institute and his

01:01:02 --> 01:01:07

handle is his both his personal handle Hamza sorts its sources

01:01:07 --> 01:01:11

with a tz from not mistaken it is essentially georgeous. Right? But

01:01:11 --> 01:01:16

the pronunciation of the t and z. So basically, it's a derivative of

01:01:17 --> 01:01:20

or English there, George, the word George has probably symbol sim

01:01:20 --> 01:01:25

rooted. As the your last name George says so am I right about

01:01:25 --> 01:01:30

the etymology there? No, no, not right. Yeah, no, Joe's, not

01:01:30 --> 01:01:37

George's? No. So George is your ago, okay. My surname is dotted

01:01:37 --> 01:01:43

this. So they're not really it's not GA at all? No, no. Easy to say

01:01:43 --> 01:01:47

as George's but basically, if my name was to be like George or

01:01:47 --> 01:01:51

George's, it will be your wall. That's how you pronounce. But my

01:01:51 --> 01:01:56

surname is diff, which is a bit different. So it has nothing to do

01:01:56 --> 01:02:01

with the the studying No, not at all. Even the spelling is

01:02:01 --> 01:02:05

drastically different. All right. Okay, so I took a shot in the dark

01:02:05 --> 01:02:09

at homological shot in the dark and didn't get very close. But

01:02:10 --> 01:02:13

your handle is your Twitter handle is your main activity, right?

01:02:14 --> 01:02:18

Yeah, so it's a haitch a 400. And dress for ha ha and then it's my

01:02:18 --> 01:02:21

surname, TZ OTZISTZ

01:02:22 --> 01:02:29

H A Twitter, Instagram, good. Now this issue of meaning meaning in

01:02:29 --> 01:02:33

the pain this is the theme of your answer is meaning in the pain,

01:02:33 --> 01:02:37

pain, your suffering, pain, that is a reality. There is a high

01:02:37 --> 01:02:42

reality that it could be Allah's removing you from a friend group,

01:02:42 --> 01:02:47

Allah's removing you from a bad group, Allah is removing you from

01:02:47 --> 01:02:51

too much comfort in this finite world so that you can actually

01:02:51 --> 01:02:56

build for the infinite world. It's there are there are layers of

01:02:56 --> 01:02:58

meaning. And it's great that you say that because many times people

01:02:58 --> 01:03:04

say when you console them, by giving them a higher meaning. They

01:03:04 --> 01:03:08

say you're denying my suffering, no, we're not denying it, like you

01:03:08 --> 01:03:12

said, it is a meaning, but there are higher meanings to focus on

01:03:12 --> 01:03:16

the Prophet was sad and suffering, Allah pointed him to greater

01:03:16 --> 01:03:21

things that are also part of the meaning of this. So, I also want

01:03:21 --> 01:03:24

to point to the fact that if two people are suffering the exact

01:03:24 --> 01:03:25

same thing one

01:03:27 --> 01:03:31

the TV just one off one speck on the

01:03:32 --> 01:03:34

has no understanding of why this is happening.

01:03:35 --> 01:03:40

The other has a very deep spiritual comprehension of why

01:03:40 --> 01:03:42

this is happening. So

01:03:43 --> 01:03:45

one is going to react better one is going to

01:03:47 --> 01:03:51

develop better heal better. Okay. And that what does that point to

01:03:52 --> 01:03:55

that points to that greater than the physical scar, the financial

01:03:55 --> 01:04:00

loss, the emotional family losses is the personal meaninglessness or

01:04:00 --> 01:04:06

meaningfulness of the of the of the reaction. One of the best

01:04:06 --> 01:04:08

proofs of this is to look at suicides.

01:04:09 --> 01:04:14

Right? Most people who commit suicide have not recently just

01:04:14 --> 01:04:18

lost something have not recently just had a physical loss of

01:04:18 --> 01:04:20

financial loss or a personal relationship, emotional loss, what

01:04:20 --> 01:04:24

did they have? Just life is meaningless. So what does that

01:04:24 --> 01:04:27

tell us? That yes, there are people who suffer who who commit

01:04:27 --> 01:04:30

suicide because of all these things. But the greatest source of

01:04:30 --> 01:04:34

suicide is simply people who are everything is just fine.

01:04:35 --> 01:04:38

But there's no meaning to life. And that meaninglessness is so

01:04:38 --> 01:04:44

painful, that it it drives them to killing themselves. So at the end

01:04:44 --> 01:04:50

of the day, the meaning aspect of things is far more painful. If

01:04:50 --> 01:04:53

it's if it's missing, then physical health, financial health,

01:04:53 --> 01:04:54

family health.

01:04:55 --> 01:04:59

And that's essentially the beginning of the cure is to give

01:04:59 --> 01:04:59

meaning and now

01:05:00 --> 01:05:04

That's why a constant exposure constant, constantly being

01:05:04 --> 01:05:05

involved in

01:05:06 --> 01:05:10

the advice that Allah is giving us the counsel that Allah is giving

01:05:10 --> 01:05:14

us in the Quran about the Accra, contemplating the Quran is a

01:05:14 --> 01:05:18

source of life, right? Because it gives meaning to all things to the

01:05:18 --> 01:05:22

good and the bad to it tempers the good. And why is tempering the

01:05:22 --> 01:05:26

good, so important so that you can preserve it. If your mind is

01:05:26 --> 01:05:30

tempered, right, and a great thing comes to you, you're more likely

01:05:30 --> 01:05:34

to preserve that benefit. You give a million dollar check to somebody

01:05:34 --> 01:05:38

to two different people. One person this person is jumping up

01:05:38 --> 01:05:42

and down so crazy, you think he's gonna flounder, it, his mind is

01:05:42 --> 01:05:46

not in the right position. To preserve this and to grow it. In

01:05:46 --> 01:05:50

contrast, you give it to another person. His reaction is subdued.

01:05:51 --> 01:05:55

He puts it aside, right, you start to think this guy's mind is

01:05:55 --> 01:05:59

working. He's not clouded by emotion. So even when the Quran

01:05:59 --> 01:06:02

tells us and the prophets of Allah when he was setting them tells us

01:06:02 --> 01:06:06

to temper ourselves, when good things happen. It's not saying

01:06:06 --> 01:06:11

don't enjoy yourself, it's saying this is the best way to prolong

01:06:11 --> 01:06:14

this namah that you have and not to squander it. Whereas if you're

01:06:14 --> 01:06:18

too attached to it, you'll ruin it. Okay, so that was a really

01:06:18 --> 01:06:21

important point and a great answer. And now I want to turn to

01:06:21 --> 01:06:26

something else. More negative. Caught not as to my is not

01:06:26 --> 01:06:29

controversial to some other people. It's controversial. Allah

01:06:29 --> 01:06:32

subhana wa Tada says, Leah, Misa kobiet, the minute

01:06:33 --> 01:06:39

that tribulations come down to two, separate the filth from the

01:06:39 --> 01:06:39

good.

01:06:40 --> 01:06:46

The issue of truth in Islam, the issue of taking the right position

01:06:46 --> 01:06:51

in Islam is not just about God and His Prophet, Aki ADA is very

01:06:51 --> 01:06:58

important. Right, but also rights of other people. And choosing the

01:06:58 --> 01:07:02

right side and human conflicts is extremely important. That is

01:07:02 --> 01:07:03

equally and Huck.

01:07:04 --> 01:07:09

That's equally I'll help. So, what has happened here is that I've

01:07:09 --> 01:07:15

seen it's been very nice and that 99.99% of the Muslims have not

01:07:15 --> 01:07:17

fumbled this, they've they've they've come together on this

01:07:17 --> 01:07:23

issue. It's brought every group together. But there is a sliver of

01:07:23 --> 01:07:25

people however, they are influential.

01:07:27 --> 01:07:31

And I'm talking about people who have not uttered a single word

01:07:33 --> 01:07:37

for the Palestinians know or against their apartheid.

01:07:37 --> 01:07:42

Aggression assists, the IDF and the State of Israel. And it's very

01:07:42 --> 01:07:46

important to notice shift, Majid khateeb said, if you're making dua

01:07:46 --> 01:07:49

for the Palestinians, and stopping there, you're only doing half of

01:07:49 --> 01:07:53

the work and you're in fact, allowing the oppression to

01:07:53 --> 01:07:57

continue. You must also be dead against an openly negating, openly

01:07:57 --> 01:08:01

speaking against the oppressor. Just like I believe in Allah,

01:08:02 --> 01:08:06

Hagar, there's idols all around you. I believe in Allah. Where did

01:08:06 --> 01:08:11

I get what about knocking down these idols? La ilaha illallah wa,

01:08:11 --> 01:08:16

la sharika. We have to affirm and negate there's no value in

01:08:16 --> 01:08:20

affirming the truth, one truth while staying silent on

01:08:21 --> 01:08:23

the source of falsehood. So

01:08:24 --> 01:08:28

no words from certain people, and I will even name them people that

01:08:28 --> 01:08:31

I don't even know if you're you your relationship with these

01:08:31 --> 01:08:33

people. So I don't want to put you on the spot. So maybe I won't name

01:08:33 --> 01:08:35

them. Because I don't know your relationship with them. So you

01:08:35 --> 01:08:39

could speak in general, I don't mind I don't mind. All right.

01:08:39 --> 01:08:44

There are some influential people like Ferris Hammadi like Osman

01:08:44 --> 01:08:49

Hakeem people like them, people respect them. They have they don't

01:08:49 --> 01:08:53

maybe not very much. I'm not gonna say nothing because someone will

01:08:53 --> 01:08:57

go in the archives and find something, but not very vocal on

01:08:57 --> 01:08:59

the oppression of the IDF in the State of Israel. And it's the

01:08:59 --> 01:09:00

American support they're getting.

01:09:02 --> 01:09:07

Suddenly very vocal, though, about how Muslims are reacting and

01:09:07 --> 01:09:13

saying that the boy one of them even said boycotting McDonald's is

01:09:13 --> 01:09:18

haram. Right? Forget is a good strategy is not a good strategy,

01:09:18 --> 01:09:21

justified strategy. That's where the discussion belongs. Right? Is

01:09:21 --> 01:09:26

this even a waste of time? Good, good, bad strategy. That's where

01:09:26 --> 01:09:30

the discussion was no haram, all boycotting of Israeli products.

01:09:30 --> 01:09:32

And one of these jokers? I think, I think. Yeah, I think with

01:09:32 --> 01:09:37

regards to to POTUS, I think the situation that one was I don't

01:09:37 --> 01:09:39

think English is his first language and has a problem of

01:09:39 --> 01:09:42

articulating himself. So I think he really articulated something, I

01:09:42 --> 01:09:46

think was in Arabic. And he basically was saying that you can

01:09:46 --> 01:09:52

boycott individually no problem. But you cannot say that. You can't

01:09:52 --> 01:09:53

make a

01:09:54 --> 01:09:58

political statement or social statement in your country saying

01:09:58 --> 01:09:59

everyone must boycott this

01:10:00 --> 01:10:03

That's what he was saying. I'm not saying that's a good thing, but

01:10:03 --> 01:10:08

just to give him some nuance with Osmel Hakeem, I think he lives in

01:10:08 --> 01:10:12

a country that gives him certain, certain restrictions. But

01:10:13 --> 01:10:16

there are many others. Like what about that famous Palestinian

01:10:16 --> 01:10:19

rapper that has said, I don't think he said anything so far?

01:10:19 --> 01:10:24

Yeah. I forgot his name. Now. His quite large. But yes, you're

01:10:24 --> 01:10:30

right. So the main point here is that there are people who they

01:10:30 --> 01:10:34

these are expressions in my view of default, right? Obviously, we

01:10:34 --> 01:10:37

can't say this particular person because we don't know the context

01:10:37 --> 01:10:42

or the social situation. But in abstract, all right, given that

01:10:42 --> 01:10:47

the variables are there, to make those statements or not to make

01:10:47 --> 01:10:51

certain statements is actually you should be questioning your level

01:10:51 --> 01:10:55

of eemaan Even if it exists or not. And that is, and that is a

01:10:55 --> 01:10:59

terrifying, terrifying thing. And you know, if people are reacting

01:10:59 --> 01:11:03

to this by, you know, getting a vote, no social media speaking

01:11:03 --> 01:11:08

out, and making dua. Good, congratulations, glad tidings is

01:11:08 --> 01:11:11

the sign of Eman. Because remember when you think about Dawa, it's

01:11:11 --> 01:11:16

not just about getting shudders. Dalla is at kind of inevitable

01:11:16 --> 01:11:21

reality of affirming the glory and perfection of Allah. And a key

01:11:21 --> 01:11:26

part of Tao one of the mocassin, one mux of dour is that you want

01:11:26 --> 01:11:29

Allah's word to be the highest. Yeah, and the whole Palestine

01:11:29 --> 01:11:34

struggle is that really, and if we don't want that, then we should be

01:11:34 --> 01:11:38

questioning how we see our own Arcada we have to how we see Allah

01:11:38 --> 01:11:42

subhanho wa Taala but you're right. Many of these folks should

01:11:42 --> 01:11:44

be speaking much more on this issue.

01:11:45 --> 01:11:49

And because, you know, people have huge influence, and we are going

01:11:49 --> 01:11:53

to be we have a responsibility. I mean, I always even and maybe this

01:11:53 --> 01:11:56

was emotional maybe it's not Islamic take but there are some

01:11:56 --> 01:11:59

brothers I'm very close with some of the social media was almost you

01:11:59 --> 01:12:03

know, mixing a bit of other things like this isn't this is not needed

01:12:03 --> 01:12:06

right now. What's needed is this issue. Why are you wasting time

01:12:06 --> 01:12:10

when anything else? Maybe that was just me being emotional. But I get

01:12:10 --> 01:12:12

I get this has

01:12:13 --> 01:12:18

there's there's details and there's direction? So if you

01:12:18 --> 01:12:21

someone says no, no, I'm just saying that the ruling on boycott

01:12:21 --> 01:12:26

bla bla bla bla bla, yes, but your whole direction is wrong. And if

01:12:26 --> 01:12:30

me, you or, you know, anybody else who has been outspoken on that

01:12:30 --> 01:12:33

says that, it doesn't make a difference. It won't make a

01:12:33 --> 01:12:36

difference. If I will come out say listen, all this boycott stuff is

01:12:36 --> 01:12:38

stupid. Putting mice in McDonald's is stupid. That doesn't make a

01:12:38 --> 01:12:43

difference. Because all your other posts, your words, your streams.

01:12:44 --> 01:12:47

Tell everyone where you think and this is one of the details on it's

01:12:47 --> 01:12:50

just a detail. But if that's the only thing that you've said,

01:12:51 --> 01:12:54

right? If this is the only thing that you have, all you're saying

01:12:54 --> 01:12:59

is attacking the way in Muslims are in which Muslims are reacting

01:12:59 --> 01:13:04

to this problem. Right? And you have nothing to say about the

01:13:04 --> 01:13:09

hierarchy greater enemy and greater harm in the world, then

01:13:09 --> 01:13:13

that makes me really question your loyalty to this OMA because the

01:13:13 --> 01:13:17

prophesy centum said it was never was not concerned with the affairs

01:13:17 --> 01:13:22

of the OMA is not one of us, meaning that you are almost like

01:13:22 --> 01:13:28

you are so off in your loyalty to this OMA that he Prophet himself

01:13:28 --> 01:13:31

still allows himself to you're not one of us, meaning you can say

01:13:31 --> 01:13:34

we're not going to say he's a Kaffir out of Islam, but you're

01:13:34 --> 01:13:37

definitely not doing what everyone else is doing in terms of the good

01:13:37 --> 01:13:38

and the Huck.

01:13:39 --> 01:13:42

So you mentioned a rapper, everyone in the Instagram chat

01:13:42 --> 01:13:47

seems to know that you're It's DJ cut it so I don't know, DJ. Yeah.

01:13:47 --> 01:13:50

So he's a guy who clowns around all the time. And

01:13:52 --> 01:13:54

probably most people didn't comment on him because of that,

01:13:54 --> 01:13:57

you know, he's not expected of him anything good. Right? He's a sort

01:13:57 --> 01:14:03

of his brand. His brand is to be a clown. Right? But these guys,

01:14:03 --> 01:14:06

you're, you're have branded yourself as speakers on the slim,

01:14:07 --> 01:14:13

speakers of the truth. Proponents of ad hoc of the truth. So how are

01:14:13 --> 01:14:17

you fumbling this? And not fumbling it? I think you're picked

01:14:17 --> 01:14:21

up the ball and you're giving it to the other team. Okay. Promoting

01:14:21 --> 01:14:23

normalization. Alright.

01:14:25 --> 01:14:30

Tell it saying that the subject of normalization is a subject

01:14:30 --> 01:14:34

pertaining to the rulers. Well, no kidding. It's pretending to the

01:14:34 --> 01:14:38

rulers, but we also have brains and can take a position on it.

01:14:38 --> 01:14:42

Right? So it's not just the accuracy or inaccuracy of the

01:14:42 --> 01:14:46

statement. It's your entire direction. And when your entire

01:14:46 --> 01:14:55

direction is leaving, clean the enemy and not touching them. Right

01:14:55 --> 01:14:57

then it doesn't make a difference to me what your details are.

01:14:58 --> 01:15:00

Right. You may you may be 100

01:15:00 --> 01:15:03

All right, but you're leaving the enemy to be 100% clean. So in the

01:15:03 --> 01:15:06

example of someone getting carjacked, right, someone's

01:15:06 --> 01:15:11

getting carjacked. And yet I come in around and I say hold on a

01:15:11 --> 01:15:13

second. There are noise ordinances here.

01:15:15 --> 01:15:18

And we're fighting the enemy here. We're fighting the oppressor, and

01:15:18 --> 01:15:23

yelling and screaming, right. And so Hey, guys, it's it's, it's 1230

01:15:23 --> 01:15:29

midnight, this is a suburban area. It is haram to waken the babies

01:15:29 --> 01:15:33

and the children of and the people who have to go to work at five in

01:15:33 --> 01:15:36

the morning in the neighborhood is haram. So this shouting that

01:15:36 --> 01:15:38

you're doing is sinful.

01:15:39 --> 01:15:42

What do I say about this person other than you are on the enemy

01:15:42 --> 01:15:48

side? Your behavior is a behavior of Cartullo of a monastic. I

01:15:48 --> 01:15:51

didn't say you're a monastic said You are behaving in a way that is

01:15:51 --> 01:15:56

distracting from the greater you are helping the magician distract

01:15:56 --> 01:15:58

all the viewers from his tricks.

01:15:59 --> 01:16:00

Yeah.

01:16:01 --> 01:16:06

You may say, Yes, it is a print. It's a principle. So in, you know,

01:16:06 --> 01:16:11

really, in these times of crisis, if you have a minute point to make

01:16:11 --> 01:16:15

that may go against the majority opinion, and you think it's really

01:16:15 --> 01:16:19

true. But if you know, to articulate that particular minute

01:16:19 --> 01:16:23

opinion that my new shy or that, that that mine that certain

01:16:23 --> 01:16:26

opinion, if you know that enemy will use that against,

01:16:27 --> 01:16:32

you know, our position as an alma, then that could be that's

01:16:32 --> 01:16:37

extremely blameworthy. For sure. 100% 100%. Look, I am a strong

01:16:37 --> 01:16:42

believer of enrolling people in our behavior, I think the more we

01:16:43 --> 01:16:48

we do what we have to do, the more we challenge the the reframe the

01:16:48 --> 01:16:52

narrative challenge design is hold people to account. I think, over

01:16:52 --> 01:16:58

time, these people basically also gain some courage as well, because

01:16:58 --> 01:17:02

everyone's on different levels on the kind of courage spectrum. Some

01:17:02 --> 01:17:05

people over here, some people over there, and they need maybe more of

01:17:05 --> 01:17:10

a collective to push them forward. And it's just the nature of the

01:17:10 --> 01:17:13

beast. And yes, look, we have to admit that many brothers and

01:17:13 --> 01:17:17

sisters have their own ideological positions, their own kind of

01:17:17 --> 01:17:21

sectarian positions on these things. And, you know, I think

01:17:21 --> 01:17:26

even to unpack them in these times, is going to take away from

01:17:26 --> 01:17:29

from the courts, we could understand what they did, who they

01:17:29 --> 01:17:32

were, we won't forget them, whoever they were, and then we

01:17:32 --> 01:17:36

could deal with them later. And try to optimize them as best as

01:17:36 --> 01:17:40

possible. And hopefully, they will become more optimal. But yeah,

01:17:40 --> 01:17:43

you're right. You're right. We also have to

01:17:44 --> 01:17:51

we also have to take a quick close look at who funds us. Right who

01:17:51 --> 01:17:56

supports us? Yes. And we have to take by the way there are Saudi

01:17:56 --> 01:18:03

scholars I have there is there is one selfie very Salafi Saudi

01:18:03 --> 01:18:07

scholars who to give credit where credit is due what's his name

01:18:07 --> 01:18:11

shake off mana kameez you familiar with from Kuwait? Kuwait? I think

01:18:11 --> 01:18:16

Kuwait, Kuwait, Kuwait, not Saudi, but he has been excellent on the

01:18:16 --> 01:18:20

subject. Right? Yeah, he's been excellent on and by the way I do

01:18:20 --> 01:18:25

like most of his Dawie clips are excellent. Right. He just comes

01:18:25 --> 01:18:29

from a different theological school of thought. But his most of

01:18:29 --> 01:18:32

his clips are amazing to watch his clips on dua his concert,

01:18:32 --> 01:18:32

inspirational.

01:18:34 --> 01:18:39

He's a Hoja. He is a proof against some of these folks on that, hey,

01:18:39 --> 01:18:43

maybe you can speak right? And maybe if you're in a country now,

01:18:44 --> 01:18:47

the thing is that people are in countries where the visa is taken

01:18:47 --> 01:18:47

to jail.

01:18:48 --> 01:18:51

I understand that. I understand that. Then don't talk at all.

01:18:52 --> 01:18:56

Right? Yeah, then post Quranic dua. But don't come in and

01:18:56 --> 01:19:02

demolish, demolish, and seek to divert the attention of everyone

01:19:02 --> 01:19:06

else. Because now you went from somebody who, guys, listen, I'm

01:19:06 --> 01:19:10

with you. But I also have a sword on my neck because of the country

01:19:10 --> 01:19:14

I live in. And the deals that I'm involved in. unwillingly I have to

01:19:14 --> 01:19:18

be silent, at least than Zipit than, right. Yeah, for sure.

01:19:20 --> 01:19:25

We would have a flip, there is a FIP to deal with that. And you can

01:19:25 --> 01:19:29

send signals out to me very easily. I can send signals out I'm

01:19:29 --> 01:19:32

with you. I just have to shut my mouth. And we will say no sound

01:19:32 --> 01:19:36

just like there are executives, there are doctors there are

01:19:36 --> 01:19:40

surgeons who in the masjid, they are 100% with you. They will never

01:19:40 --> 01:19:44

tweet about it in public. They can't. Right. I know people a

01:19:44 --> 01:19:49

person if I send them a LGB related message or video about

01:19:49 --> 01:19:53

what's happening, they will never respond back. And the say, I'm

01:19:53 --> 01:19:56

going to talk to you on the phone. I can't put I can't have this

01:19:56 --> 01:19:57

screenshot bubble

01:19:59 --> 01:20:00

thing against me

01:20:00 --> 01:20:03

So I totally understand that everyone's going to have a certain

01:20:03 --> 01:20:06

thing they can and cannot do. But at the very least,

01:20:07 --> 01:20:08

do not

01:20:09 --> 01:20:14

detract, take down and use misdirection, to point everyone,

01:20:14 --> 01:20:19

it makes me think you're are you with the enemy, then you're

01:20:19 --> 01:20:23

angering me so much, I have to say, this cannot be forgotten, it

01:20:23 --> 01:20:27

has to be noted. And you life cannot go the same with you. With

01:20:27 --> 01:20:30

this OMA, it can't continue with the same with you anymore after

01:20:30 --> 01:20:33

this, because this is not a casual shelling that maybe you didn't

01:20:33 --> 01:20:38

know about. This is not a casual like little scuffle that just came

01:20:38 --> 01:20:42

in the news and went this is the whole world has paid attention to

01:20:42 --> 01:20:48

this. And it really symbolizes Islam. For the simple reason, the

01:20:48 --> 01:20:52

Prophet himself made it a symbol of Islam, by talking about the End

01:20:52 --> 01:20:56

of Times, all the fighting being here in Palestine, all the

01:20:56 --> 01:21:00

fighting being advocates, and who is on the opposite sides and

01:21:00 --> 01:21:04

Muslim will yahoodi on our opposite sides. And that is the

01:21:04 --> 01:21:05

end game. Okay?

01:21:06 --> 01:21:11

This is a very religio, spiritual civilizational symbol here. Yes.

01:21:11 --> 01:21:16

And for you to not just fumble it, not just failed to pick it up.

01:21:17 --> 01:21:18

You're actually helping out the team.

01:21:19 --> 01:21:25

To me, this is beyond, you know, that it can just be a criticism.

01:21:25 --> 01:21:29

It's something that has to be a stain that can take a long time

01:21:30 --> 01:21:32

for that person to get out. Because you're not a regular

01:21:32 --> 01:21:35

person, you're a speaker, your job is to talk. That's literally your

01:21:35 --> 01:21:39

job is to talk. So if you've compromised yourself because of

01:21:39 --> 01:21:42

the nations that you live in, at least, if you're compromised, at

01:21:42 --> 01:21:47

least shut your mouth, put up some nice signals put up Quranic dua.

01:21:48 --> 01:21:52

Right. anecdote about the violin Wilma bloom, we will get you we

01:21:52 --> 01:21:56

understand now you can't talk but you're with us. Right? You're with

01:21:56 --> 01:21:59

the only you're with the truth. So I mean, going forward.

01:22:01 --> 01:22:05

You know, these the how does the muscle treat these people other

01:22:05 --> 01:22:07

than, you know,

01:22:09 --> 01:22:12

avoiding them not listening to them. But how does how did the

01:22:12 --> 01:22:16

dots how are they supposed to treat such a person? Who

01:22:17 --> 01:22:20

seems to be really sort of helping the other side?

01:22:21 --> 01:22:24

Yeah, I mean, I'm a huge fan of working behind the scenes are

01:22:24 --> 01:22:27

trying to optimize people. So that has to be done first. That's

01:22:27 --> 01:22:32

always maybe the most chivalrous thing to do, I think, go behind

01:22:32 --> 01:22:37

the scenes have conversations, which we do all the time. And if

01:22:37 --> 01:22:40

they're adamant, and they really have crossed the red line, then

01:22:40 --> 01:22:46

they should be basically silenced with regards to silenced native

01:22:46 --> 01:22:48

signers on those particular issues. I mean, if they're doing

01:22:48 --> 01:22:50

something in the local community, and they're talking about a number

01:22:50 --> 01:22:53

of these Hadith, that have been no problem. But when she started

01:22:53 --> 01:22:57

going into domains where maybe this potential new FARC is going

01:22:57 --> 01:23:01

to express itself need to be shut down and silenced. Because it's

01:23:01 --> 01:23:02

equivalent of the

01:23:03 --> 01:23:08

supporting the enemy, which is atrocious. Yeah. Which is, which

01:23:08 --> 01:23:11

is horrendous. Yeah, it's one thing that you can't talk, I

01:23:11 --> 01:23:15

understand that that's, we all understand. For years, scholars

01:23:15 --> 01:23:15

have been

01:23:17 --> 01:23:20

able to talk about certain subjects, their ruler, they will

01:23:20 --> 01:23:24

be jailed, their family will be attacked, raped, etc. If they talk

01:23:24 --> 01:23:28

about fine, then at the very least, don't go and demoralize and

01:23:28 --> 01:23:31

don't go and support the other side by using misdirection by

01:23:31 --> 01:23:35

constantly attacking every finding every flaw in the resistance,

01:23:36 --> 01:23:39

right? So that's where we're saying, it's not that everyone's

01:23:39 --> 01:23:42

gonna talk. That's not practical. It's not normal. There are many

01:23:42 --> 01:23:46

different ways to do that. So I've covered the four things that I

01:23:46 --> 01:23:50

want to cover, I wanted to cover two logical traps. The Israel has

01:23:50 --> 01:23:54

right to defend itself. I wanted to cover why are Muslims countries

01:23:54 --> 01:23:57

accepting refugees, we covered those if you're just joining us on

01:23:57 --> 01:24:02

with Hamza sorted sets, and he, we covered these two rat logical

01:24:02 --> 01:24:04

traps, or sorry,

01:24:05 --> 01:24:08

I guess you could say logical tricks that are used in the

01:24:08 --> 01:24:14

marketing of Israel. And the second half was internal to the

01:24:14 --> 01:24:20

Imen. And the demonstration of how to handle bad things happening,

01:24:20 --> 01:24:25

the logic behind that. And that was where you did a beautiful job,

01:24:25 --> 01:24:27

and that should be really clipped out, and everyone should benefit

01:24:27 --> 01:24:32

from that. How to Do you know, I'm really, I'm really impressed how

01:24:32 --> 01:24:35

you have made this into an applied

01:24:36 --> 01:24:42

RPE the applied spiritual. I mean, I'm really impressed by the way.

01:24:42 --> 01:24:44

I'm not saying that to you. I'm not trying to pump your feathers.

01:24:45 --> 01:24:48

But it's just an encouragement that people sometimes need to

01:24:48 --> 01:24:51

think about if you want to produce content, because it's important to

01:24:51 --> 01:24:55

produce content content to always make it relevant. The way you've

01:24:55 --> 01:24:59

done it. We've linked it to you know, Thiele philosophical issues

01:24:59 --> 01:24:59

spirit

01:25:00 --> 01:25:04

through issues in mind related issues, logical issues, like this

01:25:04 --> 01:25:06

is a beautiful case study, many people get lost sometimes what am

01:25:06 --> 01:25:09

I going to do? So one clip of someone talking about something

01:25:09 --> 01:25:12

random or something not related. I'm like, now I'm thinking you

01:25:12 --> 01:25:17

could almost have a great session and bring out all these Islamic

01:25:17 --> 01:25:18

sciences if you'd like.

01:25:19 --> 01:25:23

On this issue, this is an amazing opportunity. What are the

01:25:23 --> 01:25:28

academics call it inter disciplinary? And in reality,

01:25:29 --> 01:25:33

Allah is One. Everything will have some relation to something else.

01:25:34 --> 01:25:36

Right? Yeah, absolutely. And the key is to bring that out

01:25:37 --> 01:25:42

the demonstration of their now the Moto ketamine, I like to view

01:25:42 --> 01:25:46

myself as an S firing. What is um, what's a Kalam, it's somebody who

01:25:46 --> 01:25:52

wants to hit to tackle attacks on Islam, the attack on Islam, on the

01:25:52 --> 01:25:54

Islamic creed, the beliefs of Muslims

01:25:55 --> 01:26:01

with a rational response, you are one of them, too. Right? You are

01:26:01 --> 01:26:04

much ahead of them essentially, in that respect. It doesn't have to

01:26:04 --> 01:26:06

be about the historical training of the past and knowing all of

01:26:06 --> 01:26:11

those books, that's one angle, but you're doing it right what's that

01:26:11 --> 01:26:14

what would be the value to study historical theological,

01:26:15 --> 01:26:19

you know, terminology Kedem ultimate Kalam, but not apply it,

01:26:19 --> 01:26:22

what matters is the application and the answering doubts from

01:26:22 --> 01:26:27

people. Now, these doubts, what is the value? And what is the sign of

01:26:27 --> 01:26:32

a good macadam and the sound, Kalam is the fitna.

01:26:33 --> 01:26:37

People don't realize this the war, because that is going to be the

01:26:37 --> 01:26:42

sign that the men settled in your heart that the kalam worked, that

01:26:42 --> 01:26:47

the rod dish of negation of sugar has worked. And that's why the

01:26:47 --> 01:26:51

sign of the correct a reaction, the correct theology, the good

01:26:51 --> 01:26:56

theology is the war. That's the sign, okay? Because your heart is

01:26:56 --> 01:27:00

strong. Therefore, the defense has worked, the nutrition worked,

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

right, the diet worked. And shaytaan is away from you. Your

01:27:05 --> 01:27:07

heart is clean, you have understood and you have true

01:27:07 --> 01:27:12

faith, true faith is displayed during times of hardship, not in

01:27:12 --> 01:27:16

libraries, with nice fancy books with bindings and arguments and

01:27:16 --> 01:27:18

philosophers and YouTube Debates where both sides are getting

01:27:18 --> 01:27:23

views, right? Know that it's really in this type of situation.

01:27:23 --> 01:27:28

And that's why there is a link between Al Qaeda and struggle,

01:27:28 --> 01:27:33

right Arpita and bad things happening. And so this is where

01:27:33 --> 01:27:37

the multicolumn people that care about protecting our theta also

01:27:37 --> 01:27:42

care about protecting the OMA from these false narratives. And no one

01:27:42 --> 01:27:48

will be better than unpacking Israel's false narratives and

01:27:48 --> 01:27:53

media tricks than the scholars of Colombia logicians, right? Who can

01:27:53 --> 01:27:57

unpack and if you're just joining us go back and listen to what

01:27:59 --> 01:28:05

Hamza talked about in terms of the in terms of the snuck premises

01:28:06 --> 01:28:12

was so important to understand the concept of the snug premise and go

01:28:12 --> 01:28:19

onto his website Sapiens Institute dot O R G, lighthouse, mentoring,

01:28:19 --> 01:28:25

mentoring, you can call them and get an hour of time on issues. Let

01:28:25 --> 01:28:27

me let me tell you how to benefit from this.

01:28:30 --> 01:28:33

Frame your questions properly, don't call them and mumble for

01:28:33 --> 01:28:36

words and waste your time and waste their time. Frame your

01:28:37 --> 01:28:40

identify your questions probably did not the prophets I seldom said

01:28:40 --> 01:28:45

Mr. Saturday and Sol, sol. Sol. Sol. The question is half of

01:28:45 --> 01:28:49

knowledge, bring something benefit benefit from these people. Right?

01:28:51 --> 01:28:54

And then the last thing we talked about is that which got really on

01:28:54 --> 01:28:58

my nerves are those who are I feel that they're helping the enemy,

01:28:58 --> 01:29:00

not by silence. I don't mind silence.

01:29:02 --> 01:29:03

The coward is a movement.

01:29:04 --> 01:29:08

The one unable to talk is a movement the one handicapped by

01:29:08 --> 01:29:13

his situation is a movement. But the one who uses misdirection and

01:29:13 --> 01:29:17

attacks the resisting oppressed people and those who are

01:29:17 --> 01:29:22

supporting them, and is constantly doing so. Never speak against the

01:29:22 --> 01:29:26

enemy. That is the one who I believe is he has issues, you have

01:29:26 --> 01:29:29

serious issues, you got to see where your loyalty lies. And

01:29:29 --> 01:29:31

you're something's wrong about your belief system to

01:29:32 --> 01:29:36

Yeah, and especially if it's on like gray areas that there is kind

01:29:36 --> 01:29:40

of a valid equity laugh on the issue. A few to press hard on it.

01:29:40 --> 01:29:43

It shows that you have some ideological non negotiable

01:29:43 --> 01:29:47

assumptions which are not really aligned with the Islamic tradition

01:29:47 --> 01:29:51

for sure. That's exactly it's worrisome and better off to stay

01:29:51 --> 01:29:55

silent than to be guilty of saying something wrong. And I'll close my

01:29:55 --> 01:29:59

portion of this by saying that there is a scholar in the past who

01:30:00 --> 01:30:06

who stayed I think it'll play him. He said if a if a man is Chef goes

01:30:06 --> 01:30:07

to a new city.

01:30:08 --> 01:30:12

And his observation in that city is that everybody deals with

01:30:12 --> 01:30:17

usury. All the contracts are invalid, they contain it usury and

01:30:17 --> 01:30:21

they're sinful. And he is become to his attention that everyone's

01:30:21 --> 01:30:22

doing this.

01:30:23 --> 01:30:29

He then proceeds to get up on the mimbar. And speak against the

01:30:29 --> 01:30:31

dangers of Zina.

01:30:32 --> 01:30:39

And he does utter a word on river. He said, This man has betrayed his

01:30:39 --> 01:30:42

people, they're headed down a valley towards *.

01:30:43 --> 01:30:46

Right. And he's saying anything other than

01:30:48 --> 01:30:51

beware of that valley, you're on the wrong Val, you are headed

01:30:51 --> 01:30:55

towards a ditch, you're headed towards a fire and you don't say

01:30:55 --> 01:30:57

anything, you're a betrayer.

01:30:58 --> 01:31:02

Right. And that person should be, you know, you should be taught

01:31:02 --> 01:31:07

some, he taught a lesson. So we covered these four subjects to

01:31:07 --> 01:31:09

insert to external to internal.

01:31:11 --> 01:31:14

And now I want to give it to the platform to close off with

01:31:14 --> 01:31:17

anything that you want to add. And anything that you want to say,

01:31:17 --> 01:31:22

related to this not related, sapiens related, anything that you

01:31:22 --> 01:31:25

want to say I want to give you the closing word. Yeah, it does. I

01:31:25 --> 01:31:28

have. So first and foremost, for the opportunity, if it was

01:31:28 --> 01:31:32

amazing, this was an amazing place up here to play applied strategy

01:31:32 --> 01:31:34

session, which I think is going to be transformative for a lot of

01:31:34 --> 01:31:38

people. Because people have transformations through the

01:31:38 --> 01:31:41

applications of these things. It's not just the abstract, which is

01:31:41 --> 01:31:45

amazing does apply here. Also, with regards to something that's

01:31:45 --> 01:31:48

related to sapiens is Do we just published a book by Dr. With mana

01:31:48 --> 01:31:51

TF code, the characteristics of the cooler and it goes through

01:31:51 --> 01:31:54

seven key characteristics around seven. And within that there are

01:31:54 --> 01:31:58

some other characteristics, but some of them include courage. Some

01:31:58 --> 01:32:01

of them include, you know, compassion, and so on and so

01:32:01 --> 01:32:05

forth. And maybe you could download free on the safest

01:32:05 --> 01:32:08

Institute website, you can get it from Amazon print price only, from

01:32:08 --> 01:32:11

an Amazon perspective, we don't get to profit. If we could

01:32:11 --> 01:32:14

download the eBook for free. In the context of what's happening in

01:32:14 --> 01:32:18

Gaza, just read the courage section, the current section is

01:32:18 --> 01:32:21

going to maybe help you to understand how to develop that way

01:32:21 --> 01:32:25

of being of being that way of being of being courageous in order

01:32:25 --> 01:32:29

to be more vocal about the issue. And basically give you that

01:32:29 --> 01:32:32

encouragement to be courageous because we know the process was

01:32:32 --> 01:32:37

the most courageous. The Imam Shafi, he talked about manhood and

01:32:37 --> 01:32:43

your masculinity, and essentially, masculinity is your character. And

01:32:43 --> 01:32:47

many of the price predictions talked about that your masculinity

01:32:47 --> 01:32:50

is essentially your religion and your character. So if it's your

01:32:50 --> 01:32:54

character, then who do we go to to emulate we go to the person who it

01:32:54 --> 01:32:57

who is selling because the person Sonam is the greatest character,

01:32:57 --> 01:33:01

the greatest human being on this planet. And when it comes to

01:33:01 --> 01:33:06

courage, the person will make dua against cowardice and miserliness,

01:33:06 --> 01:33:09

right. And we know the person Stalin was the most courageous

01:33:09 --> 01:33:12

ally, Raja Liang, when he was talking about the battlefield and

01:33:12 --> 01:33:16

they need to like get protection on etct maneuver, they will go to

01:33:16 --> 01:33:18

prison, some because he was the you know, the most fierce in

01:33:18 --> 01:33:22

battle and he was protecting people. And we have, for example,

01:33:22 --> 01:33:25

a hadith of Anis Malik, when he talks about, you know, something

01:33:25 --> 01:33:28

happened in Medina, there was a noise in Medina, and the person

01:33:28 --> 01:33:31

was there first on the horse on his writing beast, you know,

01:33:31 --> 01:33:36

saying, you know, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, making sure in

01:33:36 --> 01:33:38

who he was the first most courageous person, the famous

01:33:38 --> 01:33:42

story of the Battle of her name, right? It was a calamity, right?

01:33:42 --> 01:33:45

And they had to kind of inevitably retreat but the process someone

01:33:45 --> 01:33:48

was taking the horse and marching forward and he was essentially

01:33:48 --> 01:33:52

saying, I am the messenger of allah sallallahu it he was

01:33:52 --> 01:33:55

sentenced and then I am not lying. And then I think it was above

01:33:55 --> 01:34:00

Sophia and Ben Harbor, he had to kind of hold him back. And that's

01:34:00 --> 01:34:02

I believe that a holding back because of all the arrows were

01:34:02 --> 01:34:06

coming, but he was so brave. So we need to try and emulate that

01:34:06 --> 01:34:08

bravery and the weight training have that bravery when it comes to

01:34:08 --> 01:34:12

intellectual bravery and you know, social media, the information war

01:34:12 --> 01:34:16

concerning the crisis. Don't focus on a particular action focus on

01:34:16 --> 01:34:19

who you need to be. Because once you become you overcome your state

01:34:19 --> 01:34:24

of being would give rise to action. And there are a few ways

01:34:24 --> 01:34:27

for you to become brave. Number one, read about the person's

01:34:27 --> 01:34:30

bravery. Number two read about stories of bravery in general,

01:34:30 --> 01:34:33

especially if those were the price of criticism, the scholars

01:34:33 --> 01:34:37

intellectual bravery and bravery in wall. Number three, focus on

01:34:37 --> 01:34:40

your caliber your heart because bravery. The Scholars say that

01:34:40 --> 01:34:43

bravery is a characteristic of the heights a feature of the pulp,

01:34:43 --> 01:34:47

right? Not being foolhardy. But being brave, brave having a

01:34:47 --> 01:34:50

righteous action or righteous centric and Allah centric action

01:34:50 --> 01:34:53

and you're doing it and you don't care about if you're gonna have

01:34:53 --> 01:34:55

physical harm, mental harm, psychological harm, or whatever

01:34:55 --> 01:34:57

the case may be, because, you know, you have to do it, but

01:34:57 --> 01:34:59

you're not foolhardy. Right? So it's

01:35:00 --> 01:35:02

his hearts you have to focus on the spiritual to make it strong.

01:35:03 --> 01:35:06

The other thing is be around courageous people because remember

01:35:06 --> 01:35:09

you're going to be the product of the people around you. If there

01:35:09 --> 01:35:11

are four brave people around you, you're going to be the fifth. It's

01:35:11 --> 01:35:14

about four pious people around you, you're going to be the fifth

01:35:14 --> 01:35:18

to follow and also make dua to Allah subhanaw taala to Tim to

01:35:18 --> 01:35:23

make you brave. Also, make sure that you engage your your

01:35:23 --> 01:35:26

sympathetic nervous system, the sympathetic nervous system is the

01:35:26 --> 01:35:30

thing that that is responsible for fight or flight and the way to

01:35:30 --> 01:35:34

develop sympathetic nervous system is do something risky, go for

01:35:34 --> 01:35:38

Sprint's on a mountain Hill, engage in mixed martial arts, do

01:35:38 --> 01:35:41

some sparring, do some intense training that helps your

01:35:41 --> 01:35:44

sympathetic nervous system which helps you be able to have that

01:35:44 --> 01:35:47

courage when needed. So these are some of the points that you could

01:35:47 --> 01:35:51

use to help yourself become more courageous inshallah there are

01:35:51 --> 01:35:54

other points I should have a video out in a couple of days on this

01:35:54 --> 01:35:57

issue is called it's going to be called Gaza and courage so

01:35:59 --> 01:36:03

beautiful. And we will link it here all night. If you could link

01:36:03 --> 01:36:07

the where the book is and show love people get it you can get it

01:36:07 --> 01:36:11

on a soft copy, you can buy it from Amazon. And again, great work

01:36:11 --> 01:36:17

across the pond being done by Hamza sorts and his colleagues

01:36:17 --> 01:36:19

there. Of course, Muhammad hijab is one of his biggest well known

01:36:19 --> 01:36:23

colleagues, but they're, they're putting this work we're fully you

01:36:23 --> 01:36:27

know with them in terms of our sentiment towards them, and our

01:36:27 --> 01:36:31

love for them. Anytime you come on this side of the pond and Shala

Allah continue your work protect you and increase your benefit and

01:36:46 --> 01:36:50

increase your blessing just like collocation Baraka Luffy was set

01:36:50 --> 01:36:51

on one acre Mohamed Salah

01:36:55 --> 01:36:59

Alright folks, there you have it we were honored again with another

01:36:59 --> 01:37:00

great guest

01:37:01 --> 01:37:04

he's really to me one of them doing one of the most important

01:37:04 --> 01:37:08

jobs in our OMA which is discussing the doubts the shovel

01:37:08 --> 01:37:13

hurt that people are having and mark my word. If you do this

01:37:13 --> 01:37:14

properly,

01:37:15 --> 01:37:19

your hearts will be clean. If you face the shovel heads properly,

01:37:19 --> 01:37:22

the Eman there the soil will be clean.

01:37:24 --> 01:37:28

If you face these doubts properly, if you correct your octina By

01:37:28 --> 01:37:33

studying the books of the scholars of divine What about the divine

01:37:33 --> 01:37:37

attributes, the status of the prophets of Allah, you correct

01:37:37 --> 01:37:38

your beliefs.

01:37:39 --> 01:37:44

Face these Shovelhead these doubtful matters these

01:37:46 --> 01:37:50

satanic tricks I would say face them, do not run away from them,

01:37:50 --> 01:37:50

face them.

01:37:52 --> 01:37:55

And then remember Allah much and keep good company, your your the

01:37:55 --> 01:37:59

soil of your heart will be clean. When a bad thing happens or an

01:37:59 --> 01:38:02

enemy of Islam comes you'll be the first one to stand in front of

01:38:02 --> 01:38:04

them. Because you'll know this is This is Allah's test right here.

01:38:05 --> 01:38:09

This is Allah is manifesting a chance for me to prove that I

01:38:09 --> 01:38:12

believe this. You don't want to just say you believe it.

01:38:13 --> 01:38:17

Okay, you want to demonstrate that you believe it? Right? I want to

01:38:17 --> 01:38:20

demonstrate this is one of the prophets I sent him said, a sense

01:38:20 --> 01:38:23

of control your hand. You want to do you want to prove to Allah do

01:38:23 --> 01:38:26

you want to say, Oh Allah, I want to demonstrate that I believe,

01:38:26 --> 01:38:27

give charity

01:38:28 --> 01:38:31

give setup. That's it as sadaqa to berghahn.

01:38:32 --> 01:38:38

Okay, charity is a proof by the way, how are we on the GRT thing?

01:38:38 --> 01:38:42

You know, we we raised a decent amount of money for Palestine for

01:38:42 --> 01:38:48

Gaza for and it's going to the people so we're at 50 where we're

01:38:48 --> 01:38:52

at 46,001. Could you put the link in the thing? Anyone who's on

01:38:52 --> 01:38:54

Instagram hop over to YouTube?

01:38:55 --> 01:38:57

Go to YouTube Safina society

01:38:58 --> 01:39:05

go into the link we're at $46,000 have been raised for Gaza pounds

01:39:05 --> 01:39:10

sorry British pounds. That's more than 50k dollars 46 British pounds

01:39:10 --> 01:39:14

have been raised for Gaza. How are we getting the money today? You're

01:39:14 --> 01:39:17

asking where the money is not going to as as money go into

01:39:17 --> 01:39:20

Jordan. The Business People there are businessmen. There are

01:39:20 --> 01:39:26

businesses Palestinian businesses in Gaza. Food, clothes, nursing

01:39:26 --> 01:39:28

equipment like bandages

01:39:30 --> 01:39:34

what else there are there's food clothes, everything that people

01:39:34 --> 01:39:37

need. Those businesses are still running how are they getting their

01:39:37 --> 01:39:42

supplies from the Rafah border. Rafa is still open for there's

01:39:42 --> 01:39:44

still things are coming in. Okay.

01:39:46 --> 01:39:47

From what we were told

01:39:48 --> 01:39:51

don't ever don't think if you're in Oh, I don't want my money to go

01:39:51 --> 01:39:55

because it's not gonna it's gonna to businesses like a baker who has

01:39:55 --> 01:39:58

when when a baker wants to do business, he's got to have himself

01:39:58 --> 01:40:00

a bit

01:40:00 --> 01:40:00

anchored in Jordan.

01:40:02 --> 01:40:05

So the money goes to Jordan, to those banks in Jordan, then they

01:40:05 --> 01:40:08

released the goods when they see that their money has come and they

01:40:08 --> 01:40:11

released the goods to the GRT representative that we have down

01:40:11 --> 01:40:15

there on the grounds. Okay, why don't you put up a picture real

01:40:15 --> 01:40:19

quick of an example of No, we want the one with the Safina Saudi

01:40:19 --> 01:40:21

paper on it. Okay.

01:40:22 --> 01:40:23

The,

01:40:25 --> 01:40:32

the man on the ground, his name, his use of okay. And he's, he's

01:40:32 --> 01:40:35

the one dealing with these businesses. Okay, he goes to them.

01:40:35 --> 01:40:39

He says, Look, the money was sent, release the goods. He takes the

01:40:39 --> 01:40:43

bread, he takes the food, he takes bottled water, he takes clothes.

And then he gives it to orphans. They also are running ambulances.

01:40:47 --> 01:40:51

grt is about to buy ambulances. So we're not a people that just want

01:40:51 --> 01:40:55

to talk, talk talk when it's books in peacetime, and we're gonna

01:40:55 --> 01:40:58

debate and we're going to talk about these things. Now it's time

01:40:58 --> 01:41:02

to act. Right now it's time to put our money where our mouth is. Now.

01:41:02 --> 01:41:06

01:41:06 --> 01:41:08

not unrealistic. Okay.

01:41:09 --> 01:41:14

We're not unrealistic. So, here's an example of this picture of a

01:41:14 --> 01:41:18

young man here who received a package with the stuffiness, Id

01:41:18 --> 01:41:23

01:41:23 --> 01:41:27

be. Right? Right. They're looking at they're living in rubble.
