00:00:00 --> 00:00:01
			And also people are still
finishing up plays.
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:06
			So what what we're not passing
these quizzes up
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:13
			just to give you an idea of where
your situation material so far
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:19
			what you might need to refresh,
and it'll help studying towards
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:23
			any final tests. Questions like
this probably beyond that.
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:25
			So
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:30
			we're just gonna go over them
quickly. The first question, the
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:32
			four preconditions of prayer are
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:35
			the first one
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:40
			give us one of
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:41
			the other one.
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:50
			So it's time purity of self
imposed purity placed in
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:52
			determining the development. So
those are the four preconditions.
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:58
			The three types of water, the
first is tough, and then tagging.
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00
			And the third
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:06
			is computer. So the first two
purifying, that's water that you
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:11
			can use to make wudu. Also, not
only is purity drink to other
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:14
			things, but it also serves to
purify yourself if you need to
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:18
			make the rules. The second type is
taught and it's pure, which means
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:23
			you can drink into the beginning,
you can use it for cooking. But
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:27
			it's not purifying, meaning that
it's contaminated enough that it
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:30
			doesn't count for me can do it.
And the last is not just says that
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:33
			word is impure. And the reason
that I was interested in spoilers
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:34
			as soon as possible
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:40
			to have the four obligatory body
parts of you do.
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:47
			Face is one hair can't. It's
actually hands up to the elbow, so
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:48
			the horn,
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:51
			feet. And
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:56
			so again, the floor or their face,
your hands and arms up to your
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:58
			elbows, your head and your feet.
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:03
			This last one should be pretty
easy for everybody. What are the
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:05
			five obligatory prayers?
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:09
			Remember, just
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:10
			like
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:20
			prisoners, that was the first
letter, oh, that's like a mnemonic
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:20
			tool that you use.
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:23
			Alright, so the first one,
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:25
			pleasure.
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			It's more important than the rest.
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:42
			So all five of 100% obligatory,
they carry the same reward and
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:43
			punishment.
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:47
			There are some prayers that people
miss sometimes. So there are
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:52
			Hadith emphasizing the importance
of doing this. Like for instance,
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:53
			there's Hadith and
		
00:02:56 --> 00:03:00
			oh, I'm sorry. Part of the
question was, is there one that's
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:03
			more important than the others?
The short answer is no. They're
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:04
			all equally important.
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:09
			The reward of doing them is the
same for all and the punishment
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:09
			permission is the same.
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:14
			However, some prayers because of
just the way that things are,
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:19
			people tend to miss sometimes
people oversleep sometimes.
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:24
			Also the prophets of Allah wa
salam emphasized in more than one
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:26
			of the day, the importance of sort
of us.
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:31
			This is one of the that's one of
the things that's in this bonus
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:31
			question.
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:37
			So to us is particularly
important. He said that it's the
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:39
			career that distinguishes the
believers from the hypocrites, and
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:40
			I'm paraphrasing.
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:46
			So, all prayers are equally
important. But just know that
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:48
			sometimes there's a tendency to
miss certain ones maybe because
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:51
			you're busy in the middle of your
day, or because you're asleep or
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:53
			because you fall asleep early
before you pray.
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:58
			And if you have one of those
issues that you're facing, try to
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:00
			make a plan for coming in if
you're falling asleep before you
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:03
			crash, and sleeping through the
night to try to pray as early as
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:06
			possible. If you're having trouble
waking up in the morning, set like
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:10
			a third and fourth and fifth alarm
if you're sleeping through all of
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:10
			those
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:15
			when I heard when she says like a
half a gallon of water before you
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:16
			go to bed and get up
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:20
			really,
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:23
			when you make the dish before
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:27
			you're too tired.
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:32
			So with
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:37
			the sisters asking about the
witch, which is the slaw that's
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:42
			after, it's the Sunnah prayer, but
it's strongly emphasized. For most
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:46
			schools, it's what's considered a
sunnah Morocco, which is a highly
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:49
			emphasized Sunday. For the Hanafi
school. They actually say that
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:53
			it's legit, which means that it's
a it's obligatory to a lesser
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:57
			sentence, not for so that it's
absolutely obligatory but it is
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			still something that you have to
do on leaving it off.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:02
			regularly for the how to film
school is simple.
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:07
			Yeah, I mean, what's important is
that you're able to get these
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:08
			factors.
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:13
			The senators are very important in
their usefulness. To them, they're
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:16
			actually good for us. It's a
blessing that we have.
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:21
			But as long as you're able to do
your five, focus on that, and then
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:23
			if you can expand it in and the
sun does, then that's, that's
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:26
			useful as well. But just make
these your main focus.
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:29
			And if you find the strength to do
the other ones, and that's good,
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:29
			too.
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:36
			So again, what it is considered,
basically an obligation and one of
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:39
			the four schools that had a
school, such that if you leave it
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:41
			off regularly, without an excuse,
you're sinful,
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:46
			but the other three main schools
hold that it's just an emphasize,
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:47
			and not just,
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:50
			but it's not simply to me.
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:56
			So how many people just by show of
hands, were able to get something
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:56
			for the bonus question?
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:04
			Alright, so the reason I put the
bonus question is that we're
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:06
			learning a lot of a lot of
information,
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:13
			rulings, explanation of the rules,
why we do certain things, what the
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:15
			things are that we have to do,
what's permissible, what's not
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:18
			permissible, what the parameters
are, what's our practice.
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:24
			And all of that is absolutely
essential. However, it is also
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:28
			really important that we be able
to tie these things to the
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:29
			tradition,
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:34
			to be able to find the link for
why we do the things that we do
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:39
			with where that source comes from.
And the Hadith that Sheikh Sharif
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:42
			listed here in chapter two is
pages eight through 10. In your
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:43
			book,
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:45
			every single one of them is vital.
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:49
			You should read them again, if you
haven't read them since we went
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:50
			through them.
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:55
			And tried to, I don't mean
memorize, like the whole chain of
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:57
			transmission and where it's found
and in which books have EEG and
		
00:06:57 --> 00:07:00
			the exact wording. But try to
learn some of these, even if it's
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:04
			just the short ones. Just try to
try to try to commit some of these
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:08
			to memory. Just so that if if
anybody ever asks you something
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:11
			about the prayer, or if you have a
question yourself, you can refer
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:13
			back to this in your mind. You
don't have to open a book, you'll
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:17
			be able to know something like the
prophets of Allah alayhi wa sallam
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:21
			said, Indeed, the five prayers
remove sins, just as water removes
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:24
			dirt. It's very short. It's
simple. But it's, it's it's
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:27
			something that that is an
encouragement. And it's a way of
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:32
			time, what we're doing today, to
the lifetime of the process,
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:37
			and to that community to what they
were doing. And there's so many of
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:40
			them, even the short ones, like
the key to Paradise is the ritual.
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:41
			Or
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:48
			anyone who deliberately skips a
prayer has forsaken his faith. An
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:51
			explanation of that is that he's
turning his back on his Eman and
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:54
			is at risk of it being stripped
away doesn't mean that he's lost
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:58
			his Eman. But it's, it's a way of
turning your back, you know,
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:00
			deliberately, like you're just
sitting there, you know, I'm not
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:01
			going to pray, I refuse
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:05
			to it's a bad place to be. And so
you should know that all of this
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:08
			has been addressed. And if you
look through these, and there's
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:11
			many more in the books of Hadith,
you'll see that almost everything
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:14
			that you can think of regarding
the curse has been addressed in
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:17
			one form or another. And any
challenges that you might be
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:21
			facing have also been addressed.
Sometimes just by saying, just by
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:23
			a word of encouragement that the
Prophet gave was so
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:26
			nice.
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:38
			So So there's, there's no one,
like the Hadith that I just
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:40
			stated. Or there's, there's
another one, which is
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:43
			the difference between a person
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:47
			a Muslim and non Muslim does the
prayer for the thing that
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:49
			distinguishes the Muslim from the
painting.
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:57
			In a sense, it's literally right,
because the law, especially what
		
00:08:57 --> 00:09:00
			we have today, we're really the
only people that are doing this,
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:05
			you know, five daily prayers every
single day, preferably in
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:07
			congregation, and it's a specific
type of law, right?
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:11
			So there's a literal sense of
that. We're the only community
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:14
			that that really does this, but
also in a figurative sense.
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:19
			The prayer and the commitment to
the prayers, what separates you
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:22
			from losing is what's keeping you
in the deed and what's keeping you
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:25
			from losing your faith. So anybody
that completely abandons the
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:28
			prayer, while technically still a
Muslim, they've lost like the
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:32
			biggest connection that they have.
All right. So this is this is our
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:36
			opportunity every day five times a
day to you know, reconnect with
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:39
			our true purpose, which is to be
the servant of Allah and Allah has
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:43
			asked you to pray and even the
motions of the prayer express that
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:43
			servant
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:47
			so a person that's completely
abandoned that turn their back on
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:50
			it has lost like a huge part of
your religion.
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:53
			I have a question about home.
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:59
			So, is there water
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:00
			And
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:05
			let's just say I didn't realize
were supposed to say I put in that
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:09
			habit over right. But I didn't
wake up to, like mom.
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:12
			Is there for family, some school?
So?
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:15
			That's a good question. So the
question is
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:20
			the question in case anybody
didn't hear it is when you miss a
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:22
			prayer or a group of prayers, is
there an order in which they have
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:27
			to be made up? The answer to that
is, if it's a day's prayers, an
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:31
			entire day five, you have to make
those up in the morning. So say
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:35
			you went to sleep, you're going to
pray, and you wake up and it's
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:38
			already that time, pray them in
order before you pray a shot.
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:42
			Anything more than a day's worth,
just make them up. However, you
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:44
			probably can't, whenever it's
easier. So there's people that
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:45
			have years of prayers,
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:47
			weeks, or whatever it is,
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:52
			if it's a day or less, make them
up a quarter. So if you miss two
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:55
			prayers, you're working in Prego
Ross, we got caught up, announced
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:59
			a lot of time, prayers over in
your offspring before you pray. So
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:03
			make up an order if they're within
that day. Now, like what you said
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:07
			to cancel by Monroeville if I
would, if I ever get in the course
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:10
			of me making up my two other
prayers, let's just say the
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:14
			flaming into that before locker
man. If I said to do the same,
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:17
			that's a good point. So you're
supposed to make them up in order
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:19
			and I'll give you an even better
example I'm just using to squat so
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:24
			you missed it close to the end of
hospital time right oftentimes
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:28
			about to go out you should still
pray over first and less it's
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:31
			going to make you also miss
awesome so if you only have enough
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:34
			time to pray those forecasts are
so awesome. Pray those and then
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:37
			make up the dollar afterwards. But
if you there's still enough time
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:40
			to make that prayer and pray the
one that you missed and the one
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:43
			that said it's time and that's if
you're right at the edge of
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:46
			missing the second one is always
praying the ones that can guide
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:50
			him into less than a day or less
right. So the rule is if it's a
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:55
			day or last may come up in order
and if you're getting close to the
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:59
			end of the current prayer, only do
that if you can still make the
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:00
			current plan it's time
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:06
			and your questions
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:16
			okay all right, so we're working
chapter I think 17 right
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:28
			was going to take on reading news.
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:03
			So, so regarding this, the
obligation is to make a reasonable
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:04
			effort to find
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:07
			if you were
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:13
			if you're completely cut off from
like, looking outside for some
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:16
			reason, you can't see where you're
at, you have no idea what the
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:19
			direction is, you're probably just
gonna have to take a guess from
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:23
			your best estimate. If you can go
outside you can look up at the sky
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:26
			and see where which direction the
sun is setting or which way it's
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:29
			moved or something to that effect
something that would give you some
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:33
			idea or you could look outside you
know that there's south and that's
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:37
			so do your best effort to find out
where it is if you will completely
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:38
			wrong
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:43
			and there's still time for that
prayer repeated if it's after the
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:45
			prayer you don't have to repeat it
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:55
			over
		
00:13:59 --> 00:13:59
			right
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:01
			this
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:05
			series
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:10
			is really supposed
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:13
			to be
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:16
			to
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:24
			phrase with great chest and
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:32
			why like?
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:49
			To jump in here, so
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:55
			the sub section here is that
there's five distances that you
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:58
			might be starting from directing
side
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:02
			How to these distances inside.
Obviously, if you're inside your
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:05
			preachers, any any of the walls,
so there's four wars, the square
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:08
			structure, any of the walls is
fine because you're actually
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:11
			inside of it. You can't pray on
top of the cabin. I think we
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:14
			discussed that last week. But
praying standing on top of the
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:16
			tower, you can't pray there, you
can stand there. It's not it's not
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:19
			hard to stand there. But you can't
pray because there's a camping
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:19
			phase. Now.
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:25
			If number two in the hunter shave
that describes this, the the
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:28
			mosque structure that's in Mecca
built around the Kaaba, if you're
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:32
			in that structure, we direct
yourself towards the covenant. So
		
00:15:32 --> 00:15:35
			whatever side of it you happen to
be on. So if you see pictures of
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:39
			prayer in Mecca, you'll see that
it's actually like a circle going
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:42
			around, and everybody's facing
towards the building.
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:45
			And when it says, turn your chest
because that's, that's, that's
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:47
			really the direction of the
prayers, right, it's the way that
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:50
			your body split up towards. So if
the column is this way, you square
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:53
			your whole body, and don't just
turn your head towards it.
		
00:15:55 --> 00:15:56
			If you're in Mecca,
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:01
			itself, when not in the month
structure, you pray towards the
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:05
			mass adoption, even covers a
little bit this way. And so as
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:07
			you're getting towards that
monster structure, and it's, it's
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:08
			pretty big,
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:12
			it's pretty big structure, then
that's your direction. And if
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:14
			you're outside, but still within
half the distance of the Earth,
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:15
			we're further than that.
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:19
			Then if you were to take a map and
divide it into four pieces,
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:22
			wherever Mecca is you take towards
that direction.
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:28
			So if you're like, say, in Turkey,
right, it's not that far from
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:32
			there, you see, you cut the
section reserved, for that's the
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:34
			direction that you're praying.
Now, the fifth one
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:36
			is going to be some discussion.
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:45
			At this point, the spirit will
persevere your spirit into a
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:46
			better
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:50
			possibility, depending upon
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:58
			whether to turn into land current
observations in this audience.
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:06
			So, so if you look at a globe or a
map,
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:13
			Jersey is actually north, as far
as latitude metrics, and
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:15
			obviously, it's towards our east.
So just looking at a map, it seems
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:19
			like it's southeast. And there are
some studies that days about
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:21
			position as someone at home and
there are even some restaurants
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:24
			even here in New Jersey that are
directly Southeast
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:29
			Asia is a concise
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:33
			experience,
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:35
			rather
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:39
			curious and ready to leave.
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:56
			So this is the majority view,
because most messages that you go
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:59
			to are going to be directed in
America are going to be directed
		
00:17:59 --> 00:17:59
			northeast.
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:05
			The reason for that is that there
are physical. So that straight
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:09
			line that you go north to
southeast, you'd actually be
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:12
			having to travel directly through
the earth to do that. Right. So
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:16
			it's not an it's not it's not
actually realistic direction. So
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:19
			what what the weatherman have
determined the majority of them is
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:22
			that you follow what would
actually be the shorter distances,
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:26
			which is to go north east. That's
what the to take plane in Mecca.
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:29
			That's what you can take as a
great circle. Right? Exactly. So
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:32
			if you were to fly if you were
going to fly from here to Mecca,
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:34
			you would fly northeast because
it's actually closer
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:51
			so 1400 years ago, the Muslim
world was not that big. It was
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:56
			big. The Muslim world grew really
quickly. But it wasn't all the way
		
00:18:56 --> 00:18:59
			over here yet. So it's something
that's really just come on.
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:05
			So that number for that happy this
is to Mecca. Most places in the
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:08
			Muslim world where that close
doors there were some exceptions
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:11
			even but most places were that
close to where the general
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:15
			direction was what you really need
to find out who's your president?
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:20
			Oh, she said it 14 years ago, is
that what people did? And they
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:23
			figured out calculate that the
shortest distance was the
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:27
			Northeast or do they go just a
general direction
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:32
			and so so that's what we're doing
now because we're calculating by
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:35
			the shortest distance not
necessarily we would like if the
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:37
			Earth was flat what it would look
like
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:40
			and the next
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:51
			so she actually close the Senate
because it's true.
		
00:19:53 --> 00:19:57
			If your your calculation of what
direction to pray is pretty wide.
		
00:19:58 --> 00:19:59
			So if
		
00:20:02 --> 00:20:06
			If the direction is this way, and
you're facing this way, you're
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:09
			still within within a legitimate
direction. If a cube was here and
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:13
			you're facing this way, you're
also still within the majority. So
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:16
			if it's, if it could be either one
of those things going this way, so
		
00:20:16 --> 00:20:20
			it's perfectly fine. So we should
get the point, the point is making
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:24
			this, definitely try to figure out
the correct color and be as exact
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:28
			about it as possible. But both are
acceptable positions. And any
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:29
			position within that.
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:34
			You know, semi circle is also
legitimacy. So don't go crazy
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:38
			about, you know, going to have to
turn like, one degree this way. I
		
00:20:38 --> 00:20:38
			want to be that way.
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:44
			Yes, I'm sorry, no, no. Questions
are good.
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:54
			Choices
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:02
			Where did that leave Scotland?
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:07
			Where this this one is gonna come
from?
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:12
			Well, I'm gonna have to double
check it. But my understanding is
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:17
			that as people started moving away
from from Arabia,
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:20
			they needed to figure out what the
Qibla was. So he just kept praying
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:24
			in that in that direction,
direction. So if they traveled
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:28
			east, or if they traveled south
into Africa, or if they traveled
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:34
			west, towards north Africa to the
Bronco, they just prayed in the
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:37
			direction that they came from. So
just the general direction?
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:42
			That's a great question. I don't
know where that yeah, I don't know
		
00:21:42 --> 00:21:43
			what I don't know why that
decision.
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:46
			was,
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:51
			I think that might be a modern,
that might be a modern thing. And
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:53
			I'm sorry, I really don't know.
But I'll find out for sure.
		
00:21:56 --> 00:21:59
			My understanding is that once you
get past half the distance of any
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:03
			place on the globe, the actual
curvature of the earth starts to
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:05
			come into play into what's going
to be the closest direction,
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:09
			that's when you start having to go
like your flights, or you start
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:11
			taking whatever the shortest
distances even if it's not the
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:13
			most, like the most direct route.
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:15
			Why?
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:25
			Net se, well, they're both, that's
why they're both out.
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:30
			Majority, though, they might have
taken the position that it's
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:31
			whatever is the shortest distance
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:41
			what you're supposed to, so that
the earth is a globe, right, and
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:44
			you could actually play pretty
much in any direction and
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:47
			eventually spin around and get to
wherever you're going. Right. So
		
00:22:47 --> 00:22:51
			the shortest distances would be
the most direct to face.
		
00:22:52 --> 00:22:56
			Who's I mean, if you're, if you're
in Mecca, right, you can turn your
		
00:22:56 --> 00:22:59
			back on the cover. And since the
earth is spherical, you actually
		
00:22:59 --> 00:23:02
			would, if you traveled in that
direction, eventually arrive to
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:05
			the one on the other side. But
that's not actually the shortest
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:06
			distance
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:09
			with the most direct
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:15
			anybody else?
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:21
			Alright, so this is a defining
point in the book.
		
00:23:24 --> 00:23:28
			And this is where we start getting
really into the the description
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:32
			and the explanations of the
laboratory prayer.
		
00:23:38 --> 00:23:40
			I think that's actually a good
place to stop. So we can we can
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:42
			cover that that section or
		
00:23:43 --> 00:23:44
			you can start that section
question.
		
00:23:46 --> 00:23:47
			So
		
00:23:49 --> 00:23:50
			any other questions?
		
00:23:51 --> 00:23:53
			Anyone? Keep in the car?
		
00:23:55 --> 00:23:57
			So you should? That's good
question.
		
00:23:59 --> 00:24:00
			If you if,
		
00:24:01 --> 00:24:07
			if you have a legitimate reason to
not pray standing up, as in to
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:07
			say,
		
00:24:09 --> 00:24:12
			you don't have to strengthen your
legs, or there's real danger. If
		
00:24:12 --> 00:24:17
			you step out of your car, then you
can pray something now. But it's
		
00:24:17 --> 00:24:20
			not new. If there's any chance
that you can actually just pray
		
00:24:20 --> 00:24:20
			normally, then
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:26
			I know that a lot of people feel
more comfortable doing that. You
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:28
			don't want to stand out obviously,
if they're like on the side of the
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:29
			road.
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:36
			It's a bit of a judgment call.
Because I think what we're talking
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:37
			about earlier,
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:40
			should should just be aware that
you're not giving yourself
		
00:24:40 --> 00:24:44
			excuses, and ways out of doing
things in an easier way when it's
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:46
			not absolutely necessary. If you
feel that it's absolutely
		
00:24:46 --> 00:24:49
			necessary, and you really feel
like you'll be in danger. If you
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:52
			carry out outside, that's fine.
But if it's just out of shyness
		
00:24:52 --> 00:24:55
			and embarrassment, and that's
something that you'd have to try
		
00:24:55 --> 00:24:56
			to overcome
		
00:24:59 --> 00:24:59
			any deeper
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:06
			Can anyone fabricate? More likely
than like, so you don't even need
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:09
			a printer. Right? Right. So one of
the headaches that's covered in
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:09
			here
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:16
			the entire Earth is is is a prayer
is a solid piece of prayer for the
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:18
			Muslims. So you can pray on
anything as long as it's clean.
		
00:25:19 --> 00:25:21
			If you want to lay something out
and pray on it, then that's fine
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:23
			too, as long as it itself was
awesome.
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:29
			any impurities on any of the
tests. So you can lay out a scar
		
00:25:29 --> 00:25:29
			if you can lay out
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:32
			a cloth.
		
00:25:33 --> 00:25:36
			I was telling Shadi recently that
I have a friend of mine was
		
00:25:36 --> 00:25:40
			Turkish, who, who had a bunch of
leather ferrets, and he kept in
		
00:25:40 --> 00:25:43
			his car, specifically for praying
outdoors, we don't wear the ground
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:48
			might be uneven, it might be wet,
it might be gravity, the leather
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:50
			is pretty thick, and it's
resilient and to use that for a
		
00:25:50 --> 00:25:54
			rock and I prayed with him once on
McDonald's parking lot, it was
		
00:25:54 --> 00:25:58
			really, really helpful. It's not a
single flat spot, and Turkish fits
		
00:25:58 --> 00:25:58
			all.
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:03
			So So yeah, you can pay on
anything as long as it's not
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:05
			something that's just silly.
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:07
			So
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:09
			it's valid,
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:12
			because I don't like sort of
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:15
			you display for the medicine
group.
		
00:26:23 --> 00:26:27
			Since you're here watching the
dividing of the Earth into half
		
00:26:27 --> 00:26:30
			the distance, you're more than
half the distance that a recent
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:31
			recent life.
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:38
			What this just realized that if
you think logically, like
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:40
			logically that que se,
		
00:26:42 --> 00:26:42
			but
		
00:26:44 --> 00:26:45
			but because of the
		
00:26:46 --> 00:26:53
			spiritual nature, what you see
jets fly, the shortest distance
		
00:26:53 --> 00:26:57
			actually is northeast, you have to
go up and then down because the
		
00:26:57 --> 00:27:01
			spherical on each of the earth. So
then six side or a booty of Syria,
		
00:27:02 --> 00:27:07
			when he wanted to sort of judge
between two groups. One was
		
00:27:07 --> 00:27:11
			praying SES and other praying
northeast. So then they were
		
00:27:11 --> 00:27:15
			having a conference. And they
disputed over that. So he given
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:20
			the solution. He said, If se ne is
valid, the due east has to also be
		
00:27:21 --> 00:27:27
			so just prayed to ease. So that's
what it was on DCS first guys.
		
00:27:29 --> 00:27:30
			Oh, yeah, electricity as
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:38
			well. And what do you derive from
that is that basically, the bigger
		
00:27:38 --> 00:27:40
			principle they draw from that is
that when you're more than halfway
		
00:27:40 --> 00:27:45
			across Mecca, then all you need is
one of them either has to waste,
		
00:27:45 --> 00:27:47
			it's got to be used as waste.
		
00:28:05 --> 00:28:09
			Are they sort of forced into it?
Because most of us haven't been
		
00:28:09 --> 00:28:13
			here, except recently. So the
question didn't really pop up
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:18
			until recently, that have ever
since been really like, if you
		
00:28:18 --> 00:28:22
			look at the 1900s, before the
1900s. There were innumerable
		
00:28:22 --> 00:28:25
			sums, really in Europe, in large
numbers, enough to think about
		
00:28:25 --> 00:28:29
			this question. So all the muscles
were in a small pocket. So when
		
00:28:29 --> 00:28:33
			they spread, the more they want
some spread, the more new
		
00:28:33 --> 00:28:35
			questions come up. But this was
one of the questions.
		
00:28:36 --> 00:28:37
			So that's
		
00:28:40 --> 00:28:43
			interesting for celebrator. But
it's one of the reasons why you
		
00:28:43 --> 00:28:47
			see like, the malakian Hanafy
schools that have a lot of rulings
		
00:28:48 --> 00:28:52
			for a lot of unique situations.
And it's because those two
		
00:28:52 --> 00:28:55
			mountains, we went out from the
center of the Muslim world I
		
00:28:56 --> 00:28:59
			encountered other populations,
other religions, and
		
00:29:00 --> 00:29:02
			the issues just came up. It's all
about how to deal with them to
		
00:29:02 --> 00:29:06
			come up with a world where if you
look at the chat very humbly,
		
00:29:09 --> 00:29:10
			often you'll find that
		
00:29:11 --> 00:29:15
			there really is a very limited to
stuff that was actually occurring
		
00:29:15 --> 00:29:16
			in the early part of the school.
		
00:29:18 --> 00:29:21
			It makes sense. The more you
attract, also the more technology
		
00:29:21 --> 00:29:25
			changes grow, we have to catch up
in the sense that not to change
		
00:29:25 --> 00:29:28
			anything in the past, but you're
going to be brought questions that
		
00:29:28 --> 00:29:29
			are
		
00:29:31 --> 00:29:34
			that our new, all sorts of new
questions are gonna come up. The
		
00:29:34 --> 00:29:38
			way people are having children is
a question that came up various
		
00:29:38 --> 00:29:42
			ways. For example, if a woman a
woman now you can take the egg of
		
00:29:42 --> 00:29:46
			a woman, sperm of a man and put it
in a third woman
		
00:29:48 --> 00:29:49
			that's possible right going on
right
		
00:29:50 --> 00:29:54
			now can also do this right? And
they answer they have to come up
		
00:29:54 --> 00:29:58
			with an answer that there happens
to be no we can't do this. They
		
00:29:58 --> 00:29:59
			can't We can't have two moms with
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:05
			You can have one apparent mob and
then one biological, it's gonna
		
00:30:05 --> 00:30:09
			cause confusion in the lineage and
in the child. So all these types
		
00:30:09 --> 00:30:12
			of things are always coming up at
the same moment is one of his
		
00:30:12 --> 00:30:14
			claims that it's gonna be really
messed up
		
00:30:22 --> 00:30:22
			a couple years.
		
00:30:25 --> 00:30:27
			They said, monitor
		
00:30:30 --> 00:30:31
			us
		
00:30:33 --> 00:30:36
			probably use an example of pattern
		
00:30:37 --> 00:30:39
			analysis analogy, and I was ready
		
00:30:40 --> 00:30:46
			to make a decision. That was like
the same method Quran Hadith,
		
00:30:47 --> 00:30:51
			analogy. And then overall arching
purposes of the religion was the
		
00:30:51 --> 00:30:51
			purpose of religion.
		
00:30:53 --> 00:30:56
			One of the purposes of religion is
to protect people's lineage. So
		
00:30:56 --> 00:31:00
			every child, he's got to know who
his mom is, without doubt who his
		
00:31:00 --> 00:31:04
			dad is without doubt. Because once
a kid has doubt on who his mom or
		
00:31:04 --> 00:31:08
			dad is, because it hurts them so
badly, they're scarred for life.
		
00:31:14 --> 00:31:15
			You could do adoption.
		
00:31:16 --> 00:31:20
			But the kid still has to know who
his dad is, you can't tell him
		
00:31:20 --> 00:31:20
			your mom or
		
00:31:22 --> 00:31:25
			your dad, he's got to know who his
mom and dad is. If, if that
		
00:31:25 --> 00:31:30
			information is there, or he has to
know that you're not. But you can
		
00:31:30 --> 00:31:31
			treat him like
		
00:31:34 --> 00:31:37
			you don't you want to hide from
the kid, it's very important for
		
00:31:37 --> 00:31:38
			people to know who they are
really.
		
00:31:42 --> 00:31:43
			But oh, well, you
		
00:31:50 --> 00:31:54
			when I might have missed it, or
when it was all in all directions,
		
00:31:54 --> 00:31:54
			right?
		
00:31:55 --> 00:31:55
			They
		
00:31:56 --> 00:32:00
			would talk about like how you
would assess the direction. If you
		
00:32:00 --> 00:32:06
			were in a moving vessel. Like if
you're in a plane, or you're like
		
00:32:06 --> 00:32:11
			in a train, particularly how you
would assess the direction and how
		
00:32:11 --> 00:32:12
			you would negotiate were
		
00:32:13 --> 00:32:14
			sort of playing.
		
00:32:15 --> 00:32:18
			Nowadays, almost all the planes,
they'll give you a flight, kind of
		
00:32:18 --> 00:32:20
			relax, right? Let you know where
you are.
		
00:32:22 --> 00:32:25
			With like a little map, so you
have a good idea of where you are
		
00:32:25 --> 00:32:30
			right now. And so figure the
direction from that possible, you
		
00:32:30 --> 00:32:34
			should know which direction. So if
you're flying from here to Mexico,
		
00:32:34 --> 00:32:35
			you still kind of know,
		
00:32:36 --> 00:32:39
			if you're flying to Europe, or if
you're flying out to East Asia,
		
00:32:39 --> 00:32:42
			right, you find out far, you're
still going to have an idea where
		
00:32:42 --> 00:32:45
			you are in the world at that time.
So that's going to be your
		
00:32:45 --> 00:32:47
			direction. So there's no woman on
the planet.
		
00:32:48 --> 00:32:49
			Like Neil or
		
00:32:53 --> 00:32:57
			So shall we had some good
explanations on what you do, and
		
00:32:58 --> 00:32:59
			you make your best effort.
		
00:33:00 --> 00:33:04
			So if you can get out there in the
aisle, and it's like, you know,
		
00:33:05 --> 00:33:07
			it's like Saudi airlines or
something, and you're gonna be
		
00:33:07 --> 00:33:07
			okay with the
		
00:33:11 --> 00:33:16
			Saudi airlines, they have a mosque
in the plane, Saudi airlines, they
		
00:33:16 --> 00:33:18
			have a little mosque in the back
of the plane flesh.
		
00:33:23 --> 00:33:27
			If you can't attract the
attention. So if you can't do
		
00:33:27 --> 00:33:30
			that, and you can't afford to fly,
first class will let you do
		
00:33:30 --> 00:33:30
			anything you want.
		
00:33:32 --> 00:33:33
			Because you're paying so much
money.
		
00:33:36 --> 00:33:39
			So stand up in bow, and sit for
the portion that you would
		
00:33:39 --> 00:33:44
			normally be making suju. If you've
been that's a problem, because
		
00:33:44 --> 00:33:45
			you're flying.
		
00:33:46 --> 00:33:50
			You're flying to Texas, during
like, the Tea Party convention,
		
00:33:52 --> 00:33:52
			was the one that
		
00:33:55 --> 00:33:58
			says Be as discreet as possible,
but you know, make a judgment.
		
00:33:59 --> 00:34:01
			Again, you know, and it's it was
the, it's been the issue since we
		
00:34:01 --> 00:34:04
			started today, the first chapter
with with the issue of the first,
		
00:34:04 --> 00:34:06
			always make, make that judgment.
		
00:34:07 --> 00:34:10
			And just try to be as honest with
yourself as you can, because you
		
00:34:10 --> 00:34:12
			don't want to always be giving
yourself more dispensations that
		
00:34:12 --> 00:34:15
			we need, but also don't put
yourself in a precarious situation
		
00:34:15 --> 00:34:19
			when the dispensation is
available. So be honest and know
		
00:34:19 --> 00:34:24
			that you have enough strong SWAT
take the take the disposition,
		
00:34:24 --> 00:34:27
			because it's there for a reason. I
mean, I mean, one of the things
		
00:34:27 --> 00:34:31
			that that comes up to me, I guess,
we need to talk about is that all
		
00:34:32 --> 00:34:35
			like, what a lot of things I think
about this stuff in advance,
		
00:34:35 --> 00:34:38
			always certain things I make fun
of, like, we have
		
00:34:40 --> 00:34:44
			a situation, what am I going to
happen and when they're, you know,
		
00:34:44 --> 00:34:48
			downtime, like I think that I need
to be responsible in the same way.
		
00:34:48 --> 00:34:52
			Right? And think like, even when
I'm looking up like, Yo, Zack I'll
		
00:34:52 --> 00:34:54
			be doing a marathon because if I
can put him on on the timeline,
		
00:34:54 --> 00:34:57
			like why would I do with myself
and situation, but that's actually
		
00:34:57 --> 00:34:59
			a great deal. Like I gotta think
about
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:01
			When I'm traveling, so am I really
you're
		
00:35:03 --> 00:35:05
			just like I think about other
stuff they got to do that
		
00:35:06 --> 00:35:10
			that's a great point. You know
what it even simple things forget
		
00:35:10 --> 00:35:13
			about booking a flight Right? Like
you have to go somewhere
		
00:35:14 --> 00:35:18
			and Maghrib is 10 minutes away can
you afford to wait the 10 minutes
		
00:35:18 --> 00:35:20
			and pray at home rather than be on
the road and the goals how to
		
00:35:20 --> 00:35:21
			pray?
		
00:35:22 --> 00:35:26
			Or if you're planning if you're
planning to go somewhere you know
		
00:35:26 --> 00:35:29
			on a Friday Can you time so that
your new investor and you can make
		
00:35:29 --> 00:35:30
			up your mind and
		
00:35:31 --> 00:35:35
			things of that nature? So yeah,
pre planning has always been was
		
00:35:35 --> 00:35:35
			that
		
00:35:37 --> 00:35:41
			entire if you're like traveling
traveling so if you're going a
		
00:35:41 --> 00:35:42
			certain distance absolutely
		
00:35:45 --> 00:35:48
			Wait 4848 40 Miles
		
00:35:50 --> 00:35:55
			sorry, about an hour Yeah, it's
usually about an hour to travel
		
00:35:56 --> 00:36:01
			but so so if you're gonna go to
like somebody's house like 30
		
00:36:01 --> 00:36:02
			minutes away
		
00:36:05 --> 00:36:07
			if you can afford to wait those
extra 10 or 15 minutes to actually
		
00:36:07 --> 00:36:11
			pray rather than be on the road
and then you can do a traffic and
		
00:36:11 --> 00:36:14
			now you're on the road for over an
hour is still at a distance to
		
00:36:14 --> 00:36:16
			combine computers
		
00:36:18 --> 00:36:19
			Yeah.
		
00:36:21 --> 00:36:26
			Yeah. So if you can pre plan if
you could make more like I related
		
00:36:26 --> 00:36:29
			to you earlier, but she actually
say you know, keep a stone in the
		
00:36:29 --> 00:36:32
			car and a bottle of water, you
know, just for contingencies
		
00:36:50 --> 00:36:50
			any of the walls
		
00:36:57 --> 00:37:01
			facing like, let's say the side of
the wall, there's somebody
		
00:37:01 --> 00:37:03
			outside, outside
		
00:37:07 --> 00:37:10
			well, also even outside of the
cover, right? So say this, this is
		
00:37:10 --> 00:37:14
			this is a this is the cover right?
And there's going to be rows of
		
00:37:14 --> 00:37:17
			people in there praying in like a
concentric circles all the way
		
00:37:17 --> 00:37:19
			around. So these people are facing
this way and these people are
		
00:37:19 --> 00:37:20
			facing the same thing.
		
00:37:25 --> 00:37:28
			You couldn't make a face to a wall
facing another way.
		
00:37:29 --> 00:37:31
			Which is kind of nice to actually
go out into the top
		
00:37:35 --> 00:37:38
			Saudi police officer if you have
like a lot of money or prestige or
		
00:37:38 --> 00:37:40
			so guests, yes.
		
00:37:43 --> 00:37:44
			Nothing
		
00:37:46 --> 00:37:49
			I think they say underneath it is
a treasure. Because it's one of
		
00:37:49 --> 00:37:51
			the signs of that at the time. He
said
		
00:37:52 --> 00:37:53
			the camera is destroyed by the
		
00:37:55 --> 00:37:57
			end of time. No.
		
00:37:59 --> 00:38:03
			He's just destroyed by men king
and he under this great treasure
		
00:38:03 --> 00:38:06
			underneath it. So it couldn't be
transmitted
		
00:38:15 --> 00:38:16
			before us, it has nothing to
		
00:38:18 --> 00:38:21
			do there's nothing in the actual
camera, except stills that will
		
00:38:22 --> 00:38:24
			hold up the news. There's actually
nothing
		
00:38:34 --> 00:38:35
			that's a good point.
		
00:38:37 --> 00:38:37
			Right now
		
00:38:43 --> 00:38:47
			you know, I get the imagery that
even if you were to try and pray
		
00:38:47 --> 00:38:50
			towards whatever the actual center
would cause a big building, but it
		
00:38:50 --> 00:38:52
			doesn't look that big. But if you
were to try to pray towards the
		
00:38:52 --> 00:38:56
			center, you were still in one of
the walls. You just when you're
		
00:38:56 --> 00:38:58
			saying that turn your back on that
center of
		
00:39:08 --> 00:39:09
			religion I like
		
00:39:10 --> 00:39:11
			it is,
		
00:39:12 --> 00:39:12
			you know,
		
00:39:14 --> 00:39:18
			it's a very scientifically and
that's true. You know, there's a
		
00:39:18 --> 00:39:20
			lot of books written about the
science and the Quran or the
		
00:39:20 --> 00:39:24
			science and stuff like that. And
those are useful for a lot of
		
00:39:24 --> 00:39:24
			reasons. But
		
00:39:25 --> 00:39:30
			most importantly, there's nothing
in our in our books that
		
00:39:30 --> 00:39:33
			contradict anything that we've
learned up to this point about
		
00:39:33 --> 00:39:36
			science and scientifically,
there's no contradiction
		
00:39:36 --> 00:39:40
			whatsoever. And sometimes someone
will have made statements we
		
00:39:40 --> 00:39:42
			learned this in the Quran means
such and such a thing and then
		
00:39:42 --> 00:39:46
			later scientifically that scholars
were wrong. But that doesn't
		
00:39:46 --> 00:39:50
			necessarily mean that that was an
interpretation of something. Like
		
00:39:50 --> 00:39:54
			one one good example is there's
there's an item for and it talks
		
00:39:54 --> 00:39:59
			about the bees producing honey
from there, too.
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:01
			Right, your stomachs.
		
00:40:03 --> 00:40:06
			And one of the one of the one of
the scars of tafsir.
		
00:40:07 --> 00:40:13
			explanation, Ron said that that
really meant his legs that were on
		
00:40:13 --> 00:40:16
			his midsection, right. And later
on, it was discovered they're not
		
00:40:16 --> 00:40:21
			attracted is from their stomach,
honey bee moms. So
		
00:40:22 --> 00:40:26
			if he was a great scholar, but he
made an association he took, he
		
00:40:26 --> 00:40:28
			did the best he could with the
scientific knowledge that they had
		
00:40:28 --> 00:40:31
			at the time and said, it's gonna
mean such and such, when in fact
		
00:40:31 --> 00:40:31
			that actually
		
00:40:34 --> 00:40:35
			how they know about the work
		
00:40:43 --> 00:40:47
			so I sort of button in here, no,
it was very helpful.
		
00:40:51 --> 00:40:54
			If you don't have any other
questions, I want to tell him that
		
00:40:54 --> 00:40:57
			sort of a little story, or
something a little refresher?
		
00:40:58 --> 00:41:00
			Is there any other questions for
Alex versus
		
00:41:02 --> 00:41:04
			particularly complex is
		
00:41:05 --> 00:41:07
			not as easy to get someone else
		
00:41:08 --> 00:41:08
			to?
		
00:41:13 --> 00:41:13
			Do
		
00:41:15 --> 00:41:17
			there's a verse in the Quran and
it's very important for us to
		
00:41:17 --> 00:41:18
			think about
		
00:41:19 --> 00:41:22
			which ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada says,
Do people think that they will
		
00:41:24 --> 00:41:29
			make a claim to faith and not be
tested. And this is something that
		
00:41:29 --> 00:41:32
			is one of the verses that we
should think about all this
		
00:41:32 --> 00:41:36
			thinking about a lot. And one of
the reasons for this is that
		
00:41:37 --> 00:41:43
			if we believe for every attribute
of Allah, every attribute of Allah
		
00:41:43 --> 00:41:44
			that we genuinely believe,
		
00:41:46 --> 00:41:51
			and we know that there are
collections of 99 names, right,
		
00:41:51 --> 00:41:52
			and I name is, we should
		
00:41:54 --> 00:41:58
			try to get those and study them.
But for every one that we believe,
		
00:42:00 --> 00:42:03
			our belief is just a statement of
willingness to believe.
		
00:42:05 --> 00:42:10
			Right, just like someone who gets
a job, they give you if they, if
		
00:42:10 --> 00:42:13
			they want you to do the job, but
they actually don't want to commit
		
00:42:13 --> 00:42:14
			to you, right?
		
00:42:15 --> 00:42:18
			They give you something called
like a statement of employment.
		
00:42:18 --> 00:42:22
			It's not a real contract. It's
just a statement of intent. Right?
		
00:42:23 --> 00:42:25
			It's not It's meaningless, they
can fire you at any time.
		
00:42:27 --> 00:42:30
			But when our words are like that,
it's just a statement.
		
00:42:32 --> 00:42:35
			Then we follow it up with with
actions, followed up with little
		
00:42:35 --> 00:42:39
			actions, start believing in Allah
is generous, then you start giving
		
00:42:39 --> 00:42:42
			from your wealth, believing that
Allah is going to give you back,
		
00:42:43 --> 00:42:48
			believing that He will give you
back. But the true test of faith
		
00:42:48 --> 00:42:53
			or the true belief in that
attribute of Allah, it comes out
		
00:42:54 --> 00:42:57
			when he himself manifests it to
you.
		
00:42:59 --> 00:43:02
			It's really hard to grasp, because
I've even every time I've said,
		
00:43:02 --> 00:43:05
			someone said to him, how do you
know God so well. He said, I only
		
00:43:05 --> 00:43:10
			know God by how God made himself
known to me. So what does he mean
		
00:43:10 --> 00:43:12
			by that? What he means by this is
that
		
00:43:13 --> 00:43:16
			when we believe an attribute is
one thing, but when Allah Himself
		
00:43:16 --> 00:43:21
			manifest that attribute to us, so
what does that mean? For example,
		
00:43:21 --> 00:43:25
			Allah azza wa jal, he's the
savior. One of his names is that
		
00:43:25 --> 00:43:27
			he salvages people, he saves them.
		
00:43:28 --> 00:43:31
			It's one thing we all believe in
that but has anyone ever been for
		
00:43:31 --> 00:43:33
			example, drowning?
		
00:43:34 --> 00:43:36
			Right, and then a wave just push
you up.
		
00:43:39 --> 00:43:40
			Your Cat Stevens uses
		
00:43:41 --> 00:43:46
			it as a well known story that he
was, went to all Catholic, went to
		
00:43:46 --> 00:43:49
			Bible school and did all this
stuff had no effect on him
		
00:43:49 --> 00:43:52
			whatsoever. But then one day, he
was drowning.
		
00:43:53 --> 00:43:59
			He was drowning. And then he
shouted out, God, if you save me,
		
00:43:59 --> 00:44:02
			I'll work for your, I'll work for
you.
		
00:44:03 --> 00:44:08
			I'll devote my whole life to you.
And immediately upon his saying
		
00:44:08 --> 00:44:14
			that a wave came and pushed him
onto the short he was saved. Then
		
00:44:14 --> 00:44:18
			he changed his life around. So you
see how much words were taught to
		
00:44:18 --> 00:44:21
			him in the Catholic schools, years
and years of teaching, teaching,
		
00:44:21 --> 00:44:26
			teaching, teaching, but what
actually entered into his heart
		
00:44:26 --> 00:44:30
			and changed his life and gave him
real beneath this belief, and now
		
00:44:30 --> 00:44:33
			experience, right? So there's one
thing between belief and now
		
00:44:33 --> 00:44:36
			there's experience. So now he's
experiencing
		
00:44:38 --> 00:44:42
			the experience, what does it mean
that God exists? Likewise for us,
		
00:44:42 --> 00:44:44
			but for us, the key is this.
		
00:44:45 --> 00:44:49
			You're never going to experience a
loss and that Allah exists in a
		
00:44:49 --> 00:44:50
			comfortable way.
		
00:44:51 --> 00:44:56
			It there's always got to be some
challenge. If you believe in
		
00:44:56 --> 00:44:59
			Allah, that Allah is all powerful,
and you always tell yourself a lot
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:05
			do anything he wants, you will
never truly believe that unless
		
00:45:05 --> 00:45:09
			you're in an impossible situation
between a rock and a hard place,
		
00:45:09 --> 00:45:10
			and you don't know how to come out
of it.
		
00:45:12 --> 00:45:17
			Right? So when we are we have to
look at our situations, whenever
		
00:45:17 --> 00:45:22
			we're in such a position, right?
That's at the moment. Now that
		
00:45:22 --> 00:45:27
			that moment, Allah can manifest as
is his reality to his power to
		
00:45:27 --> 00:45:32
			you. Right when you're in
difficult when you're in financial
		
00:45:32 --> 00:45:37
			difficulty, then his generosity
manifests when when he pulls you
		
00:45:37 --> 00:45:41
			out of it, when you're between a
rock and a hard place. This is why
		
00:45:42 --> 00:45:45
			the Pete, the elders of the past,
they used to observe the youth and
		
00:45:45 --> 00:45:49
			the people, these observe the
people, if a guy just lives a
		
00:45:49 --> 00:45:53
			regular average life, right, and
nothing happens, they sort of,
		
00:45:54 --> 00:45:57
			they don't bother with. But the
incentive guy, for example, starts
		
00:45:57 --> 00:45:58
			getting sick.
		
00:45:59 --> 00:46:04
			More sicknesses than car
accidents, then more sickness,
		
00:46:05 --> 00:46:11
			then poverty, they know the name
of Allah, the patient, right? It's
		
00:46:11 --> 00:46:16
			sort of He's soaking it all. He's
being patient, or a person who is
		
00:46:16 --> 00:46:22
			in between a rock and a hard
place, right? And he's having this
		
00:46:22 --> 00:46:25
			type of issue. Then they watch and
they watch this person remain
		
00:46:25 --> 00:46:30
			steadfast, doesn't waver. See, if
you waver, it's like, you walked
		
00:46:30 --> 00:46:32
			out of the movie theater, you're
not gonna see the end.
		
00:46:34 --> 00:46:38
			You're not gonna see it, right? So
but if you stay stay steadfast,
		
00:46:38 --> 00:46:43
			that Allah subhanaw taala, he
pulls you out, he changed, he does
		
00:46:43 --> 00:46:48
			something you never imagined him
to do. Right? And that's when the
		
00:46:48 --> 00:46:52
			true name of Allah azza wa jal, or
the true power of God comes
		
00:46:52 --> 00:46:57
			becomes clear to people, when the
impossible becomes a possibility.
		
00:46:57 --> 00:46:59
			So for this reason,
		
00:47:00 --> 00:47:04
			when we look at the divine
attributes, and we when we live,
		
00:47:04 --> 00:47:10
			we Muslims, we break down all the
barriers that your brain puts up,
		
00:47:10 --> 00:47:14
			your brain puts up barriers, I
can't give charity, because I'm
		
00:47:14 --> 00:47:17
			going to need this money later.
That's a barrier that your brain
		
00:47:17 --> 00:47:21
			put up, tear it down. I don't I
can't do this, because XYZ is
		
00:47:21 --> 00:47:23
			stopping me. I really can't do it.
Right.
		
00:47:24 --> 00:47:27
			That's a barrier your brain put up
anything that you want, as
		
00:47:27 --> 00:47:29
			possible, put it down, right.
		
00:47:30 --> 00:47:36
			So this is something I've thought
of, because I this is something I
		
00:47:36 --> 00:47:39
			am. Most believers at one point or
another, they're going to
		
00:47:39 --> 00:47:43
			experience something like this.
The key is to stay steadfast. And
		
00:47:43 --> 00:47:48
			wait until Allah wishes to bring
out the results. We don't force it
		
00:47:48 --> 00:47:49
			ourselves. And I remember myself
		
00:47:51 --> 00:47:56
			when I was 17, and I had a sort of
childhood hero, right, was
		
00:47:56 --> 00:47:57
			starting up a
		
00:47:58 --> 00:48:04
			full summer trip to Morocco. To to
like a camp, a full summer
		
00:48:05 --> 00:48:09
			teaching people Dean, and I wanted
to go so badly. But there were
		
00:48:09 --> 00:48:14
			maybe a couple of 100 applicants.
And I didn't know what what would
		
00:48:14 --> 00:48:17
			make my applicant pass my
application pass. But that's
		
00:48:17 --> 00:48:20
			someone who was so dramatic,
because you wanted something so
		
00:48:20 --> 00:48:23
			bad that you're going to die if
you didn't get. And that's what I
		
00:48:23 --> 00:48:29
			was in. So halfway through, I got
that they I met the sheikh in
		
00:48:29 --> 00:48:34
			Brooklyn, in February, Sheikh
Hamza Yusuf, he said to me, he
		
00:48:34 --> 00:48:40
			said, Come to my program. I said,
Great. Oh, how do I get here about
		
00:48:40 --> 00:48:43
			there's no internet at the time.
He said, it'll be advertised. It's
		
00:48:43 --> 00:48:49
			going to start in July. Okay. And
it's going to be more. So I'm
		
00:48:49 --> 00:48:51
			waiting. I'm waiting for an
advertisement to pop up on the
		
00:48:51 --> 00:48:52
			wall.
		
00:48:53 --> 00:48:58
			No advertisement pops up. I happen
to run into someone, right? Who
		
00:48:59 --> 00:49:02
			knows about this. So I got the
application. I got filled out the
		
00:49:02 --> 00:49:07
			whole application sent it right
probably in my mind is all
		
00:49:07 --> 00:49:12
			running. I sent it to the wrong
address. Right. Months passed.
		
00:49:13 --> 00:49:18
			Once passed. I got an A word from
finally I talked to someone I ran
		
00:49:18 --> 00:49:22
			into a guy who debated me about
Christianity. So I called up this
		
00:49:22 --> 00:49:24
			guy said, You're Chris, I need to
ask you a question. He said, Look,
		
00:49:24 --> 00:49:28
			forget your question. Where's your
application? Right, they never got
		
00:49:28 --> 00:49:31
			your application. So I had to redo
it. If that Christian guy hadn't
		
00:49:31 --> 00:49:34
			debated me at work, I wouldn't
have ever called that other guy.
		
00:49:35 --> 00:49:38
			So one thing leads to another. So
I sent the application again.
		
00:49:40 --> 00:49:43
			Again, I sent it this time it
arrived again, I got no response.
		
00:49:43 --> 00:49:46
			And now we're getting like
literally weeks before the
		
00:49:46 --> 00:49:49
			program. And this is Morocco and
it's not something like you just
		
00:49:49 --> 00:49:51
			gonna drive over the next day. So
		
00:49:53 --> 00:49:56
			another situation happened in
which I ended up having to call
		
00:49:56 --> 00:50:00
			someone for some other reason
completely. And
		
00:50:00 --> 00:50:03
			They said, Oh, you, you wrote your
phone number wrong on the
		
00:50:03 --> 00:50:08
			application. Right? You wrote your
number off. And they're trying to
		
00:50:08 --> 00:50:11
			call you because they want to
shortlist you. And they want to
		
00:50:11 --> 00:50:15
			interview you for it. And so if it
wasn't for that, whatever that
		
00:50:15 --> 00:50:19
			other situation was, I wouldn't
have ever called that guy who knew
		
00:50:19 --> 00:50:22
			about the situation. Because back
then there's no email, there's no
		
00:50:22 --> 00:50:27
			Facebook, you can connect with
someone at any time, right? So I
		
00:50:27 --> 00:50:32
			ended up giving him my right
number. And eventually I got the
		
00:50:32 --> 00:50:33
			call did the interview.
		
00:50:35 --> 00:50:38
			And then eventually, I got into
it. But that's something I
		
00:50:38 --> 00:50:43
			remember that was this chances are
so slim, and there were so many
		
00:50:43 --> 00:50:47
			obstacles to it. That seemed like
it's never gonna happen. Like,
		
00:50:47 --> 00:50:50
			literally, it's never gonna
happen. But then these events when
		
00:50:50 --> 00:50:54
			they unfold, they show you there's
no way that this is actually an
		
00:50:54 --> 00:50:59
			accident. Allah is there and he's
powerful. He only rewards people
		
00:51:00 --> 00:51:05
			when they're sincere, and they do
things right. But the thing is,
		
00:51:05 --> 00:51:10
			you got to do it, right. You can't
take shortcuts. So this experience
		
00:51:10 --> 00:51:14
			point and the point of my message
here is experience. And so
		
00:51:14 --> 00:51:18
			difficulties challenges,
obstacles, welcome them and
		
00:51:18 --> 00:51:22
			embrace them. Because through
challenges is how we have
		
00:51:22 --> 00:51:25
			experiences and you should have an
equation in your head no
		
00:51:25 --> 00:51:29
			challenge. No fake. No, no
different than a workout, no pain,
		
00:51:29 --> 00:51:34
			no gain. In this world, no
challenges, no failure. There's a
		
00:51:34 --> 00:51:40
			there's a guy in the community is
maybe 20 years old, but when you
		
00:51:40 --> 00:51:43
			talk to him, he's like 40 years
old. He's so responsible. So
		
00:51:43 --> 00:51:47
			mature, takes care of his mom,
goes to school, goes to work, pays
		
00:51:47 --> 00:51:50
			his mom's bills and doesn't speak
English. Right?
		
00:51:51 --> 00:51:57
			That boy, the mob said you know
this bush I always feel sorry for
		
00:51:57 --> 00:52:01
			the boy because his dad abandoned.
The dad abandoned the boy just
		
00:52:01 --> 00:52:04
			went back to Egypt. So that hurt
		
00:52:06 --> 00:52:09
			someone had or someone said, you
don't you see things differently I
		
00:52:09 --> 00:52:14
			see things completely differently.
I say God took away your husband
		
00:52:14 --> 00:52:19
			but he gave you a man. He made
your son a man because he had to
		
00:52:19 --> 00:52:24
			he had no challenges no faith, no
obstacles, no failure, so
		
00:52:24 --> 00:52:28
			inshallah embrace your obstacles
embrace your challenges and know
		
00:52:28 --> 00:52:32
			that Allah is there watching and
he'll get you to where you want to
		
00:52:32 --> 00:52:33
			be even in the
		
00:52:38 --> 00:52:42
			interest of further virtual
learning to learn straight from
		
00:52:42 --> 00:52:45
			the gyms watt US Postal
		
00:52:49 --> 00:52:50

What is it these are cookies
		
00:53:02 --> 00:53:04

			shot

			of a man
		
00:54:33 --> 00:54:34
			what are you doing good man.
Thanks
		
00:54:39 --> 00:54:40
			What are these days? I want to
tell you my
		
00:54:41 --> 00:54:42
			Yeah, well, I don't know.
		
00:54:44 --> 00:54:45
			You know, it's not me.
