Haman hamdu lillah wa Salatu was Salam ala Rasulillah early he will
be here well Manuela welcome everybody to a Tuesday afternoon
on midday
on the nothing Sofia decided nothing but facts live stream.
It's a nice day out. It's pretty cool actually yesterday was very
hot today it's very cold and that has impact on those protesting
outside and Princeton and at Rutgers and we're going to cover
all that in a second. We got a lot to cover today. But first thing
first is this summer, Who here wants to spend the summer in New
Brunswick spend it with us
at the New Brunswick Islamic center at the soup kitchen,
attending nothing but facts you can attend nothing but facts all
three days a week. And then the evening you study Arabic and then
Fridays we have vicar and Wednesdays there's frisbee
football and Friday afternoon there's lunch. And we basically
have stuff going on all day every almost every day of the week. You
can come here the tuition is symbolic 350 bucks basically it's
free Facebook marketplace you can get yourself a two month apartment
and split it with your friends. And if we can, if we see one we
might actually get one ourselves and then just collect the rent
from the students. So because Facebook marketplace is now that's
basically what Facebook is good at selling your furniture and stuff
and there are a lot of college students in the area
that their rent is 10 just 10 months they don't need to rent in
July and August so we take that rent up and you could come and get
that inshallah Tada so that's all you're charged with. You want to
play store plenty of places to work if you work in the daytime
you're in it or as we had last year some guys from Silicon Valley
coming in and it being in the daytime and working basically on
their laptop and doing their thing on the laptop. Okay, so that's
go to Dotto FET dot o RG and sign up for the Arabic intensive Arabic
intensive so critical for people to do this thing is you're not
just going to be attending Arabic intensive there are going to be
other class there's always like some side class going on someone
reading a text somewhere and then we it's designed on purpose that
people who attend could sit in on the Livestream. So last summer we
had three four people
we had three four people who were here and didn't have to work
during the day and would just come in here. Some of them would work
downstairs. A lot of them would participate in the soup kitchen
things like that. We always have trips we go camping so it's gonna
be a very very very good summer beneficial summer for everybody
insha Allah Tala
next segment
what's the ruling on that is our segment right now? And this was a
question I received brother
cannot memorize Quran at the same pace as the men because we can't
recite whenever we're on that time of the month. We can't pick up the
most if we can't recite we can't review so all she can do is listen
alright during that period of time so what is the ruling on that? So
the subject of this is can a woman upon hide
touch the Quran or recite from it? And here's the answer.
A woman on hide may recite the Quran from memory or from a non
must have so she may recite from a tablet like this from her phone,
but she can't touch the muscle focus. If you're on hate you
definitely don't have
the most half such as this you have to be unwell due to touch the
most half anything that is more than 50% of it is the Quran is a
must have. So a big Tafseer book is not a must have, even if it has
the page of Quran at the top like this one at the bottom of this
bucket we
got
so again a woman may unhide may recite the Quran from memory or
from a non must have such as a phone or a tablet. If she is a
teacher or student of the Quran, that's different. She has an
exception and she may touch the Quran. Okay, when the Hadith ends,
though, these exceptions are lifted because now she has the
power to take us. When she's on height. It's not her. It's she's
stuck.
She didn't do anything voluntarily. But when the hide
ends now she's voluntarily upon not upon the hara, Cobra or soul
so she needs to the exception stops then she needs to go
Michaels. Now here's an important condition
if she combines between Jana and heyde, than the Geneva rules,
override the hydrogels and she cannot recite nor touch the Masaf
nor recite it from memory or from a tablet or anything else. What's
the proof of
As the the meaning Genova is the state of being
after * any Muslim has * they're now on a state
of Janab
okay they're on Ginebra when a Muslim is on Jana but they cannot
recite the Quran
tablet memory anything. So let's say a woman is on Genova.
Okay, then before she takes a whistle she realized I'm on
height. Now she's combined Ginebra and height. The Geneva rules
override.

read another? Alright, let me read another article here. urgent
question segment number three of today's program. So segment one
was Arabic intensive segment two was, what's the ruling on that
segment three now.
What makes a protest anti semitic. you utter a word about Israel,
you're anti semitic, crazy world we're in we got a bunch of Eastern
Europeans telling us that we're anti semitic when we're 1000 times
more Semitic than them. These are Eastern Europeans. I don't care
what religion you are. You're Eastern European.
Not that Semitic drop of blood and half of these people's body. Let
me let's be honest, and not only that we were actually read an
article about this. Where an professor from Israel because you
know, the best people to quote are the people themselves. Israeli
professors, hardly any
Semitic blood and so most of these people, these are Eastern
Europeans. Their food tells you that their body shape tells you
that the way they dance tells you that there's nothing Semitic about
these people.
In a video shared widely online, a leader of the pro Palestinian
student movement at Columbia University stands near the center
of a lawn and calls out we have Zionists who have entered the
camp. Dozens of protesters who have created a tent village called
the Gaza solidarity encampment repeats his words back to him. We
have Zionists who have entered the camp, walk and take a step
forward, he says so that we can start to push them out of the
camp, the protesters linked arms and a march formation toward three
Jewish students who have come inside the encampment. It was
really scary. He says because we had like 75 people quickly
gathered around and circling us wait a second, you had 75 people
gather around you or you went in front of them. Right? We had 75
people quickly gathered around towards it, you went right in
front of them. Okay. a Trump supporter goes to a BLM rally. And
then he cries Wolf.
This is Avi Weinberg, a Jewish students in an interview he and
his friends had gone to see the encampment not intending to
provoke when it began to feel tense, one of the students started
to record the encounter. So what they looked at your face and knew
that you're Jewish, there clearly has to be some other reason.
Right? There's got to be another reason for this.
Okay, here, they're not precisely sure how the protesters knew they
were Jewish. You must have said something. Okay. You must have
said something. Anyway, continues now.
It's always a sob story, but it continues. The incident took on
new significance when a video from January resurfaced on social media
showing the same protest leader.
Kimani James sang Zionist don't deserve to live and be grateful
that I'm not just going out and murdering Zionist Okay, that's a
bit crazy but the next day Columbia officials announced they
barred him from the campus Columbia has been ground zero in a
national student movement I mean it's crazy for him to say that if
you're out there in Palestine I'm sure they all have the same
sentiment as as him by the way me because you guys are trying to
kill us.
But
for him, you know saying it on campus in that context.
Now with protesters setting up encampments on campuses across the
country, hundreds of demonstrators Columbia yell, Emerson
said USC and beyond the none
rested has now passed 1000. Okay.
All right. So Hamilton Hall is a famous building that was involved
in that was occupied in the civil rights protests and in the South
Africa.
divestment protests and now they have
occupied that too, in Colombia. Pro Palestinian demonstrators
across the country say Israel is committing what they see as a
genocide against the Palestinian people, and they aim to keep a
spotlight on the suffering. Okay, so the Palestinians call it a
genocide. But New York Times doesn't want to call it a
genocide. But some Jewish students who support Israel, and what they
see as its right to defend itself against Hamas, again, one of those
false logic things, logical fallacies. defense against Hamas
say the protests have made them afraid to walk freely on campus.
They hear denunciation of Zionism and calls for a Palestinian
uprising as an attack on Jews themselves. I want to talk about a
video I saw of a should I want to get this actually as a formal
rebuttal to this guy, so maybe I'll give it a get the video took
us. But the guy says that everyone's allowed to prosecute a
war, except for Jews were not allowed to go to war. He said that
when America went to war in Iraq, when America went to war, Vietnam,
we killed far more civilians, percentage wise, then what the
Jews have killed, or what the Israelis have killed in Gaza? And
he said, Where were the protests? First of all? First of all, let's
hypothetically say there were no protests for Iraq in Vietnam.
And only protests for it as does that remove the crime.
Where's your logic here? It doesn't remove the crime. Number
two, are you saying that there were no protests for the Iraq war?
Then you have your memories law, you lost your you don't have
memory.
Everyone remembers those protests. Those were humongous protests,
London was filled, protesting the Iraq war because of all the
civilians that were being killed there.
Okay.
And that was the that was that was the second one. There was a war
before that. In which there were protests for that.
So the logic doesn't fit either way.
The tension goes to the heart of the question that has touched off
debate among observers and critics of the protest. At what point does
pro Palestinian political speech in a time of war crossed the line
into anti semitism? Well, I'll tell you what it is, if a you make
a Jewish person uncomfortable,
he equates it with danger. No, you're not in danger. You're just
uncomfortable by what's being said. You're uncomfortable by
truths about your love and your beloved homeland. And the
political entity that you have bound yourself to. No one told you
to bind yourself to a political entity. Or why don't you just be
fair to the political ends to say, Yeah, I mean, I'm Israeli, it's my
homeland and everything. I love Israel, and what we're doing is
wrong.
Why does it have to be all or nothing?
So know the difference between discomfort and danger. Okay, I
don't feel safe. No, you don't feel comfortable. There's a big
difference between safe and comfortable because that's the
difference that's being
conflated. Hear these are two opposite that two different things
that are being conflated as if they're one, you say a word. That
is an uncomfortable truth.
And now you conflate that saying I don't feel safe. Okay, another
logical fallacy.
If this is a matter that has vexed political leaders, university
administrators and some Jewish college students inside the
campus, the very notion of anti semitism is barely discussed, in
part because the demonstrators do not believe that the label applies
to their activism. The main reason for this is that many protest
leaders are Jewish. Right? How's it anti Jewish when most of them
are Jewish? Okay. And why is it not anti semitic behavior when you
lock out Jewish students when you prosecute Jewish students when you
arrest Jewish voices for peace?
To draw a distinction between anti Zionism and anti semitism, anti
Zionism describes opposition to the State of Israel.
And hatred towards Jewish people in general would be anti semitism.
Okay. And Jews see this
as one and the same. Okay.
So if I was to ever criticize Federalists ever criticized, let's
say Bob mugabi
The old I think he died.
The old dictator of Zimbabwe if anyone was to criticize Idi Amin,
are they racist? You know how many people Idi Amin killed Idi Amin
was insane. This guy was insane. Idi Amin. This guy he had he was
he had parties that night. And he had like, I don't know how many 10
wives or something. One of his wives I don't know he she bothered
him for some reason. He put her in a huge meat freezer.
The stories about Idi Amin so if we say that is it racist No.
What was a
China what they're doing to the Uyghurs? Or is that Asian like
racism against Asians?
And a letter to Columbia students last week, university officials
made clear the challenge they're facing we not we know that many of
you feel threatened by the atmosphere and the language being
used. Okay? This is unacceptable. Right?
They continue chants, signs, taunts and social media posts from
our own students that mock and threaten to kill Jewish people are
totally unacceptable. Show me one of them. Show me one where no
one's actually see they got you on the defensive. No, it's not good.
You never defend yourself.
Okay, they're calling for divestment here. One says Ireland
set Ireland for Palestinians. Right. Columbia funds genocide.
Class of 15 for Palestine class of 24 for Palestine. Alright,
Columbia, sociology department for Palestine. All these there's 100
groups literally over 100 student groups that are that are part of
this. Alright.
And I wanted I saw the candidates at Rutgers.
The protests beyond New York City have been inspired by the Columbia
students that are definitely in the lead.
Okay.
At Columbia the demonstration is led by a group called known as the
Columbia University apartheid divestment coalition. Okay.
Columbia University apartheid divestment. It's 100 Columbia
student organizations, including Students for Justice in Palestine
and Jewish voices for peace, leadership is amorphous. The
organizers communicate on telegram WhatsApp messaging app and provide
media training to the activists who will speak to the press Okay,
where are they getting financial support says is unclear. And from
whom is unclear well let me tell you at Rutgers our mustard sent
them some fried chicken so if you want to call that
financial support, but supporters from across New York have
responded to the group's Instagram please for water, blankets, gloves
and cigarettes, blah, blah, blah.
Okay.
Let's see where this goes.
counter protest entered the Columbia encampment carrying an
Israeli flag and sign signs with the images of those kidnapped by
Hamas.
Good, okay.
Jimmy Hayward, a Columbia freshman who is not Jewish said that he has
many friends studying at the Columbia affiliated Jewish
Theological Seminary, who are unnerved I have friend in the JTS
that need to be walked to campus. He said they want me to walk them
because they don't feel safe. walking alone, is what we think
are you wearing something on your outfit that tells you tells
everyone what your politics are? It's not like
brown Brown versus Board of Education when that poor girl goes
to school and she gets taunted because it's very clear that she's
black.
These regular Jewish people walking around what makes it clear
that they're Jews, unless they're famous for something what makes it
clear that they're Zionists? Right? Even if someone Jewish we
you don't know as politics because we see the set Mars? Alright, anti
Israel. They're anti Zionist, at least we know that the Natera
Carta, right. They make themselves known by wearing the Palestinian
shawls with their Jewish outfits. Right, the Hasidic garb those are
the people I respect actually go there literally buy their book you
want to disagree with your book disagree with their book all all
you want, but they're literally by their book, these the designers,
this is not a Jewish
thing at all. This design ism essentially is nationalism adopted
by Europeans, specifically Eastern Europeans, the Western Europeans
couldn't have cared less. Western Western Jews could not have cared
less in the beginning. If you look at the history, Western European
Jews couldn't care less. Right?
It's the Eastern Europeans who were beaten up poor, nothing to
live for in Europe. These are the ones who adopted this nationalist
philosophy and idea and decided, alright, let's do what our
European counterparts did, and go, you know, somewhere in the east,
little south and colonize because those are the people get
colonized, colonize a nation for ourselves and take it for
ourselves. But what are we going to say we're going to call it the
Jewish homeland, etc.
You guys are people, these the founders or people who didn't
observe the Sabbath, many of them were atheists include the very
founder himself, is like a non religious Jew.
I mean, the first president as well as the founder of Zionism,
the you know, Theodor Herzl funny. One of his ideas was
mass conversion to Christianity.
Imagine the progressive Muslims,
progressive, the liberal progressive Muslims who
are off the deep end, imagined day fused with ISIS. And they've taken
their identity to be opening the Khilafah and having a state or
restarting the LFO and having a state. Okay. The only difference
here is that in Islam, it's actually permitted to restart the
LFO. In actual Judaism, you're not, you're not allowed to go
start up your own state. Only God could do that. By sending his
Messiah to do that. You can't do it. It's a big difference. But
imagine progressive Muslims who hardly pray, who hardly consider
any of the rulings of Islam.
Much less prac they don't believe in them, much less practice them.
Imagine them opening up a state calling it daughter Islam. Right.
That's exactly what designed this entity is.
All right, let's take a look at something else here that all mod
has fired up for us.
We all know about the canary mission, right? The Canary mission
essentially is a way to silence and quiet any anti Zionist
property, anti Zionist claims or discussion
by trying to embarrass people and destroy their careers. Okay.
So that's the canary mission. And a lot of people are on the Canary
mission that we know. And they're, like, very nervous, because they
don't want their employers to see this. I said, if I was an employer
in some kind of secular profession, I would go there to
hire.
I'd go to the Canary mission to hire. Well, now we have something
that's the opposite of that we now have the the Raven mission.
And that's what we're gonna highlight today. Let's see our
First Person Jonathan being from right here in Mount Laurel, New
Jersey. What is Jonathan being too he's in the mortgage business.
Okay. He is He is a professional in the mortgage business. And what
does he say?
Jonathan bank, what are you saying Jonathan bank. What I'm saying is
if a five year old is in a building, and there are terrorists
in that building goodbye to the five year olds right this is what
John being a saint but his picture his his the big picture of his
face up? Yeah, put that one up. Good. While I read this, all
right, goodbye five year old he says if a five year old
Palestinian child right is in a building with terrorists most
likely he's going to be a future terrorists.
All right, that is terrorist Jr. and terrorists, senior terrorists
the first and terrorists the third. Sitting next to each other
in the building. Well,
let them all go meet their maker, period. Exclamation point.
That's what he says. This is in a video this transcripted from a
video the source of which this video you can watch this video at
Raven mission.com.
He says take them the * out I don't give a expletive if there's
a six year old kid there or a two year old kid there. Right? Is a
two year old terrorists
get if there are six kids and two terrorists if those terrorists are
high level enough. Alright. He makes an explosion sound goodbye
to the two terrorists. I'm not killing kids. I'm killing
collateral damage. Great job for this professional who's probably
got a puppy maybe as a wife, maybe as a home with a fence and
sprinklers and he's actually eating with his morale and his
words and his support the murder of kids.
The veneer of civilization is actually pretty scarily thin.
This is a guy you're probably going to see him Stop and Shop and
target and stuff. Right
Next person. Let's go to tall Broda.
Tall Broda Who are you head of Research at open AI in California
what is tall Broda say well Hillel fold says this is the Beverly
Hills of Gaza mocking a picture of an utterly destroyed city block in
Gaza. This is where all the leaders of Hamas have their
palaces or should I say had their palaces okay. What does he say
more? No mercy at IDF don't stop tall Broda okay
okay.
So this is a place obviously where homes were right. This is a place
where regular people were
and tall Broda is all in supportive. It's so
so much for the chill California attitude must not apply to him.
Let's go to the next guy.
James Thorpe from I guess, SMU southern something University in
Florida. He's a gynecologist. That's a red flag in the first
place and you guys are gynecologists. Why? No other job
that you can get except us. Right. So he's a gynecologist and you
know what they do all day.
James Thorpe says on Twitter.
Israel, I suggest you receive two squadrons of USA FB 52 bombers,
each carrying 70,000 pounds of cheap non precision bombs and
commence nonstop 24/7 carpet bombing of Gaza and Lebanon for
three months. Don't waste any more blood from Israeli citizens on
ground invasions. Don't waste your assets on precision guided
munitions. Nuke Damascus Teheran and every military installation in
Iran or Damascus is full of civilians and kids to Iran is full
of
civilians and kids because and Lebanon, he wants to carpet bomb
non precision bombings. And this is let's look at that picture of
the dude.
Apparently looking at the veneer of civilization, he's sitting with
his suit, and his nice little desk, alright, and he's got his X
rays or whatever. He's looking at his images. They're all right. And
this is the person that you imagine to be some kind of
civilized person. Now I know
that people have their opinions, right? But How stupid are you to
go tweeting it in this day and age? How emotionally charged are
you
to go tweeting this stuff? Right?
These are Aiders and abettors. of murder and genocide, by their
words and their morale and their publicizing this. Let's go to the
next one.
Let's go to this radiologists. Olga smell of itch from Western
University from Canada. Hold on, Olga. You're from Canada. Aren't
you supposed to be like calm and nice and stuff but you're ruining
the reputation of the Canadians
say it Fazal has a name said look at this little angel and has it
got a picture of a little girl there with a scar on her arm? It
looks like it's a bad scar. She's sitting in a lot of blood. her
diaper is full.
Okay.
How will they now justify bringing her to this condition? She can
barely use her right hand he says she could barely bravely hold
this Does she seem
can't really read the English. How will they now justify this? Right
where their rockets in her hand war is cruel to children. War is
cruel to women. He says what is this radiologist say between
checking on X rays and reading, doing what she's supposed to do?
She tweets. Good. Let's try and be positive her head is still
attached. That's a very good thing is what she says.
What happened? And here he got Canadian radiologist and other
probably target customer, right? The veneer of civilization is
very, very thin.
You get worried?
All right. In Bosnia, they used to say that people were neighbors.
But when emotions clouded people's minds, neighbors ratted out
neighbors, and some of the Muslims were not even practicing Muslims.
To the point that they used to say they used to sit
at the bar together. Right Bosnian Muslim and a Serb sitting at the
bar together. Because there were a lot of Aussies were not practicing
Muslims, right.
Yet still, as soon as the Civil War broke, they ratted each other
out. And 30,000 Bosnians were killed over a period of years.
Let's go to the next guy. On neurologists.
supposedly from the highest level of education, Michael Morgenstern,
little Ben Shapiro look like let's take a look at this guy's face
with the ridiculous smile. Okay.
This guy must be related to Ben Shapiro somehow. Michael
Morgenstern what does he say?
He's right here in New York. Morgenstern medical is his
practice. Genocide is what Hamas has tried to do to Israelis, Hamas
and Palestinian so he's not separating Hamas and Palestinians
are dangerous to the world. They hide their *, torturing and
murdering by in their Islamic cult. It is not a religion of
peace. It's Satan himself. Israel must prevail for the good of the
world. So this guy has completed everything all together. Hamas,
Palestine and in the Islamic cult as he puts it, and these are guys
stupid enough. Oh, he retweeted this guy. Isn't the he's not the
savior here. He's the tweeter. Okay, he reposted it. So these
guys are smart enough in their fields to become Western
professionals.
But stupid enough.
Look, we know that people have crazy ideas in their heads. Why
are you saying this? But now that you're saying it, you're going to
be taken to account? Michael Morgenstern.
Alright, let's go to another guy and Iranian Jew. Let's see what he
says.
This guy in other things, he clearly clarifies he's a Persian
Jew.
All right, Jose. greenspon. Doesn't sound very Persian, but he
is that's what he says. He's Persian Jew Jose probably
nickname. All right. What is he said he's a self employed
physician, pediatric surgeon. Wow. Supposed to be in the care
business when you're a pediatrics. And you treat kids? Right? He's
probably should be the most sympathetic to kids. Well,
apparently he's the opposite. What does he say?
Though? Here's his real name. F sheen Near money.
What does he have kidnapped kids? Jewish kids here. What does he
say? I cannot post this enough. Blow Gaza to *.
Right. Now what else did he say? What to do with the ceasefire.
Guy, very professional post here he has fold number one folded up.
He's mimicking like medical. You know how to things.
Lubricate it, lay down. And stuff. It basically is what he's saying.
Let's go to this next person who looks like another typical
northeast.
Your old regular old target customers. But guess what? Some of
these. This people with the veneer of civilization on them. They're
actually extremely nasty human beings. Look at this person.
Kimberly green Liebowitz an emergency physician from Northwell
Health in New York.
Now it's right here, right here. And she teaches at Temple in
Philadelphia medical school. So she's in the medical profession.
She says to Rupa who says talks about decolonizing decolonization
we want to undo decolonization. What does she say? She says you're
welcome to go back and live in a cave in the country your ancestors
came from and it only dirty dirt and bugs. The rest of us are happy
to live in the 21st century Get over yourself.
You know, this is very ironic, Kimberly to tell people to go back
where they came from.
Because the Eastern Europeans that you love and that you're named
after were not born in Palestine. Okay, you had not lived in
Palestine for years in that strip of land. So be careful when you
tell people to go back where they came from. And don't tell people
to live in the 21st century, when your whole justification of the
State of Israel
is 4000 year old biblical history that you lived there 4000 years
ago. I mean, the contradiction.
Get over, get over yourself. We're living in this century. Go back
where you came from. Your beloved Israel is all based on 4000 years.
I mean, historically, myth.
Go back where you came from your Eastern Europeans.
Is Liebowitz. Is that a is that a Semitic name? Find me a Jew with a
Semitic name.
It's an Israeli I mean, with the Semitic name.
Ones that do have it they change their name to it. Yeah, it was.
Originally I forgot to change his name. It's pretty like right,
European. Let's go to the last one. Howard University Hospital in
Washington DC Lilia Sandler. Okay, a nurse
What did she say? Screenshot the video is there. Gaza and its
citizens are dying ugly deaths. I love it. I don't think they're
dying enough. Said
Is this
another she's actually an Eastern European with an accent everything
in the video I watched it
another one. All right.
Exposing how fragile how frail is our level of civilization but also
I'm telling you don't I'm not surprised people have crazy views.
I am surprised
all right, that people are stupid enough to say it you guys remember
the guy who who give a tongue lashing to that poor show him a
seller guys buying his shawarma buying a like a soda and a
shawarma
and that former politician former
you know, government employee goes around telling them whatever he
said 100,000 Kids is not enough to kill
in Palestine and he got exposed. Well, now everybody if you if you
see anyone commenting on this, if you have any video like this,
tweet it at
Raven mission, and Raven or email them the submission. And they'll
put it up on the website with the source and Raven mission. What I
recommend you do I mean, I don't know these people. But what I
recommend you do is rather than have the video linked to Twitter,
you need to screenshot that whole video. It could get taken down.
Right? You need to screenshot that whole video and make sure that
you got it. So we'll do this. I'll do this every day. I can do this
every day.
These images of Juan is here. Good. I mean, he's number Okay.
Let me send you his number
one thing I was looking at while we were going through it. And one
thing that I find really surprising, yeah, fact that pretty
much majority of these people are in the medical field. Yep. And so
it's insane to hear especially like you're tweeting this stuff,
right to hear it from people who are everyday they're supposed to
be saving lives. That's the thing, people and what's insane is New
York City has so many Muslims, like you know, I live in New York
is a huge Muslim population in your New York City. Yeah. So this
these people are probably seeing hundreds of Muslims every day. And
in their head. They have such a kooky idea. Like this is super
dangerous, like the fact that you have people like this and they're
in the cosmopolitan cities. Yeah, they're in cosmopolitan cities.
There's they rub shoulders every day with people they are in the
medical fields you're supposed to have some compassion and and it's
probably the most diverse fields right? Hospitals are the most
diverse places anybody you know sick shows up there after doctors
are like nice anything Yeah, half your colleagues are Desi Muslims
Wow
honestly, I don't mind doing every single person that goes up on this
website and get them exposed and then cut a short out of it and
spread it around. That's what they deserve. Right? Raven mission.org
is the website okay
all right, let's go to Imam Safwan will be hopping on any minute now.
But really crazy
to think that people are speaking out like this but
now we have an outlet for this
right.
Chocolate wall says I'm messaging their employers everyone do the
same. Hey, good idea. Listen chocolate Wallah.
Why don't you put there the name of the person and his employer's
email address in the chat.
How funny would it be all these people getting? You know the
employer getting five emails? Right
10 emails. That will be great.
Right? Chocolate while with the good idea Chocola any email you
got put the name of the person and put their employers email right
here in the chat so people can go do it
while we're waiting for Imams of one, amen. Camila says Do we have
to make up prayers in the Maliki method? Yes, we do. Unlike
Awesome.
Awesome al Hakim's Fetzer that gives everyone quotes right? Where
he basically gives the image that In Islam there is no such thing as
make up prayers. It's not true at all.
You know, I find hilarious because yeah, this Michael, what's in it?
What's his name? Morgenstern guy? Yeah, he like he already has one
star ratings on his clinic from before. Wow, like none of these
people like this from years ago. Why?
Here's a one size fits
all right Imam stuff one is here Masha Allah Tabata Allah and
looking sharp and I gotta get my game up the way maps if one is
looking is his volume up. Let's get his volume up and get him on
to the stream here
is you know, Imam Cephalon is our colleague from the masjid only
maybe 20 minutes to in less than 20 minutes down the road got
less than 20 minutes down the road by the way we should go out to all
these private businesses in their Google reviews and leave them some
reviews got
funny one review says Amelia Reyes says about going to this doctor
never again
the irony
Yes, we can hear you we're loading you up right now yep
Mashallah.
Raven mission we got to get the word out there
was the I'm telling you if it's a good quote I'm gonna
do this segment every week.
Got to do it. All right, here we go this Mala Welcome to the SOFIA
Saudi nothing but facts live stream. Imam Safwan Eid of MC GP?
How's everything going?
I'm good. I'm dilla I'm not very good. We're all we're all focused
now would be encampments and things no hamdulillah and I'm
trying my best to drop into the different ones and be involved
under the hammer. Tell me which one you jumped into so far,
though, so far, I went to just the Princeton one was learning in
shallow data to drop into the Rutgers one in Chicago. Okay,
good, good. What's going on at the Princeton one? Well, how's the
morale like and what are people doing?
I think the morale is good. I don't think there's as much
numbers as as the Rutgers one but I'm the law that comes with the
territory but I think it's pretty solid.
And I think the spirituality is beautiful to like they're doing to
do that for you. Oh, Mashallah. That's amazing.
You know, we did a couple talks and hello cars and stuff just for
the Muslims and also like talks for everyone. So they have a, you
know, I like it. I like the Spirit. They think there's a kind
of, you know, people are really centering limbs. So everyone's
like, covering for them with like, flags and stuff when they pray and
kind of considering what they want bringing speakers, Muslim speakers
and whatnot. So I think it's pretty beautiful to see. What is
the percentage of them that is Muslim? And what's not not Muslim?
I feel like it's maybe 25% Muslim.
Yeah. See, the thing is that the Muslim countries didn't step up.
Nobody stepped up so Allah's makes tough deal. Allah, right.
Yeah, a lot to make, bring somebody else to do the job and
cause this, this this, if Netanyahu was released, having
having a press conference on the subject of campus protests, you
know, it's hurting them, and it's worrying them.
Here's a question related to the subject. And I'd want to see your
what you think about this. How should we approach taking
positions in politics? If we know that politics involves bad
character, bad virtues, etc?
Hmm. Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
I mean, that's, that's a beautiful question.
And it is a question that comes from a good place.
But for the most part, I think that when we look into our
theological tradition, when we look into the Sierra of the
Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu sallam, and even the Quran itself,
we have examples of use of it sit down, for instance, taking up a
position as Minister of Finance in the UK Government.
And then also using his position
to then bring his brother
and then using even some type of political maneuvering and tactics
with his brothers, you know, placing
the gold copper grill in their in their bags,
in their bags so he can ensure that they will return
not giving his identity away. Hmm, Billy, there's all types of
political maneuvering that he uses.
Which for us to consider is that just as the profit more
Ahmed sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is that you know, when it comes to
politics, when it comes to war, right, that there is a level of
deception that is required.
But but the key, I think, for us is oppression,
that you are sincere in your engagement that you are using some
level of acting or maneuvering. But ultimately you're doing it for
kind of the good cause or the greater cause. And it is kind of
dirty, but everything has some type of dirt in it, hence why we
pays a cat on our money.
Even our money has some level of well, you know, was is this thing
actually worth this thing is the work that I actually put in value
that this thing, what is the level of goodwill and sincerity that I
have towards this work that I'm earning this money, there's always
a level of potential harm, if not just worldliness, and so we kind
of pay off any potential harm through that cat and it's
ultimately beneficial to everyone.
But we know that the Prophet Mohammed salah,
restricted some of his Sahaba from engaging in politics.
When the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
said that he considered him kind of weak,
and that he would not be able to kind of endure the strain and the
stress of power of authority, you said, would that be a long time.
And we know that when two men had come to the Prophet Muhammad
sallallahu alayhi salam as authentically related in Buhari,
that they came to him asking for positions of power. And he said to
them, that this, anyone who asks for a position of leadership will
not have it given to them. So we do know that some people, in a
sense, are built for it. And it also requires a great level of
training
in order to withstand those things, but ultimately, as long as
we're turning us power dialer, to tell in Doba, then we pray that
Allah subhanaw taala, forgive us. But it's not easy. It's not easy
at all. But you have to do what you can from where you are, and
not just fantasize about an ideal world, but you do what you can
from where you are, it'd be a great book or even a PhD thesis
for so much, right? Because there's so much material on how to
rule principles we could say, you talked about saying the use of
that's one of the best is your you have a profit in the non
believing country. Right, right. So then you have of course, the
serum then you have of course, the qualified Russia Deen. Then you
have of course, all of the few verses here and there regarding
the behavior of different kings in the in the Quran, such as medikit
Saba, the queen, queen of sub.
So there are a lot of principles that people can draw. And I think
the best summaries and you met you touched on it is that the politics
of the Muslims is the politics of the oppressed. Whoever is
oppressed at this given time, in in regarding the priority, and the
definition, give it about oppression in the Quran and
Hadith. Right, so not anybody, as Prophet use of brothers came
crying, they were guilty. Next time they came bold, they were
innocent. So not anyone who cries oppressed, is oppressed, oppressed
by the
standard of the shittier. And of course, the priorities there are
we have a fifth of priorities. So there there is an oppressed.
Couple of years ago, there was an oppressed gorilla who was killed.
There are oppressed humans who are killed. So what's the what's the
priority? You remember her? aamby?
Right. Okay, so then so you have there in a case where we have to
have ask, what are our priorities? Right? Something could be
oppression, but it's maybe level 15 on our priority. Right? Other
things are or not so.
So that's one way to look at it. And I want to ask you now, take us
through the Quran.
On some of the things that you've been teaching lately,
through the lens of the Quran.
Yeah, yeah, definitely. So I'm the head of anatomy and
kind of, I think one of the things that I've identified probably over
the last decade
Teaching Islam as an imam dealing with communities
is the kind of the lack of a bridge between kind of exercises
of theology or kind of intellectual arguments about
Islam. And then how to actually produce from them the sum of the
spirituality or the closeness to Allah subhanaw taala. So we're
kind of, at a moment in time where, you know, spirituality is
here and the ologies. Here, Koran is here.
And we're not really able to attain any type of mental or
synthesis of all of these different sciences in order to
kind of understand reality as it is have Islam as a worldview,
that's, that's driving what we're doing. And even with, like the
protesting, you see, or the activism or even people attaining
wealth,
most of the time they're doing so it, I don't want to accuse it
anyone or belittle anyone, but I would think a lot of times are
doing so even though they haven't reconciled those ideas.
Like, I'm being wealthy, and everything online is telling me
that wealth is being bad, wealth is bad. And I should, or, and I
shouldn't, you know, go after the dunya. But I know what to be
right. Because I need wealth, my parents need wealth, the people
around me need well to accomplish what I need to accomplish. So
like, a lot of people are just like, Alright, these scholars are
saying this, I don't really understand that I'm just gonna go
after the what
are the or you have an activist who's saying, you know, these, you
know, scholars are saying, don't protest, but I know this thing is
super wrong. And I'm just gonna go for it. Right? So you have people
who are kind of just like, there are these all these strange
understandings, I don't know what to do with it. I'm still Muslim,
but like, I need to do this thing. Yeah. And so our bad theology
makes people act,
kind of in spite of Islam, rather than with Islam.
And so that's kind of why I feel, you know, a deep necessity for us
to know whether it's our Kedem, that our Colombi kind of rooted in
Quran, that it be rooted in things that people know very well. So
that they can just feel confident, like feel confident in building
yourself up for leadership, feel confident, and building yourself
up for, you know, attaining wealth, or feel confident in your
activism, that it is a means of closeness to Allah subhanaw taala,
or whatever it may be, that we just have a very rooted experience
in Islam.
And I would say in theology, people find it really tough.
It's almost, I would say, like eight out of 10 cents when you
talk to them about cuddler.
Like, they get completely lost. And their immediate response is,
if I were to believe what you're saying, then that means that I
should just not do anything. Yep. So people have not been able to
reconcile these ideas for the most part. And so in the end, they're
just kind of left, where they don't want to reject Islam, but
they still need to go about doing the things that they're doing. And
so I've been kind of working in this field, trying to root our
ideas in the Quran, and helping people to accept some, some of,
you know, just kind of bridging that gap. So I'll do is a lot of
times I'll do like, the HECM of the binotto Allah where I'll do
kind of spirituality and theology, and I'll just route it back to
how it relates to what the Quran is saying, or I'll do some type of
mid Kalam and then I'll relate that back to the Quran and kind of
figure out how to do that. So
there's a few things that I'd like to talk about, but one of them
since we were talking about suited us if we can jump into that
were Jacoba earnings
after they take their oath, and they're now returning to us of
either us.
He says, Yeah, bernia TEDCO Dohmen have been way ahead what would
have been a boyband waterfall report?
Oh, my sons. Don't enter from one gate enter from many gates from
different ones as interessei Jacoba a sedan is taking a type of
precaution
to protect them.
Though these key
He is taking a strategy to save protect yourselves by entering
through different gates, rather than just entering into one. But
then he makes a statement of theology.
Makana, ugni and hoomin Allah him in shade, right? He says like, I
know that what I'm doing is not going to affect whatever Allah has
planned for you.
Right and he says in IT help more Alella decision is for Allah
entirely. In Him I put my trust, right. And so here we have this
idea where it's like he's taking a strategy he's doing work, he's
taking precaution
in in spite of his knowledge that it has no impact upon public.
But then, beautifully Allah subhanaw taala he reaffirms. And
he says what inna hula, do I am in Lima alumna
doing this out of knowledge from what we have taught him. And so
here Allah is praising his precaution, his work.
Right and saying this is from knowledge that we have taught him.
And so what I want to kind of then take a look at here is this idea
that
Allah explains that the strategy and the precaution that your cool
ballet Salaam is taking is he says Illa adjutant to enough car Kuba
called. He said this is actually a need of Jaco valet is Santa is
something him that he needs?
Right. And so what we can derive from this is that work is actually
a need of the human being, like edgehd, Allah has said,
she ran between Safa and Marwa. Right, she did her side, even
though the water ended up coming.
Right, the idea that Ursa
was
actually a need of hers, to do something to her kind of sincerity
and concern, right through a type of action. And we know this to be
based for all of the miracles, that kind of damages in the Quran,
whether it's Maryam Ali Salam, you know, shaking the tree or Musa
hitting with his staff, right, that these things Allah doesn't
need these things we actually need the work and approve is just look
at the struggle of people who get things without working for them.
You know, look at the trust fund babies look at, look at the people
who win the lottery, look at people who do get things without
working for them. In many cases, you'll find that they're suffering
from all types of psychological setbacks and mental on account of
receiving something without some type of work, their scale is
messed up, the scale of values is messed up. Absolutely, and so many
other things actually.
And not to mention actually the blame of others, they themselves
feel very insecure.
In didn't get to put in more work or the outcome. So even as it
relates to to activism, like you know, if a lot just solve this
thing, in two seconds, we would not actually know what we're made
out of true
fabric of our morality, and how willing we are right to see a
beautiful outcome, right, where the people of us like to see a
good outcome for them to see their victory. You know, so, so
kind of reconciling, that's a type of reconciliation, where we've now
reconciled between this idea that yes, tada of Allah, and our work
and ours true strategizing. Right. And so we see in this that Allah
creates for us a system that's for the US and let me go to another
example
where Allah subhanaw taala and so that is where he says what am I
called the Rolla? Kadri right? When he says they have not
estimated right the worst or the granddaughter of Allah subhanaw
taala issue.
And then he says, in the middle of the
hers he mentioned, for instance, was semi well to multiple Yeah,
two MB a minute. All right. So he says that the the skies are folded
monthly yet on our phone be a meanie in his right.
And this is a common issue that we always see between like the SATs
and the SATs, where there's this common problem of like, well, we
want to just enjoy our personal relatable God. So what's wrong
with us, for instance, imagining that Allah has the entire heavens
rolled up in his right hand, you know, and just realizing the pure
power of such a being that can have the whole world rolled up in
his right hand. Right. And so, we do a lot of this kind of
understanding how to navigate these ideas, while still kind of
maintaining our like, mid immaterial, non physical
understanding of Allah subhanaw taala.
And so one of the things that kind of we talked about is this idea
that what is it Kalam for the most part on this topic? It is, we
affirm the text, right? Then we do a level of tough with, so we have
a level of like we've we've affirmed a text whatever Allah
said, Allah said, right, and then we don't know the totality or
entirety of what Allah is saying. So we've accomplished some level
of stuff, when, and then we're going to negate
anything that is not appropriate for Allah subhanaw taala. So we're
going to negate any physicality, we're going to negate the hand,
we're going to negate this idea that the world has rolled up in
his hand or any,
right whereas, you know, the the SATs, what they will do is they'll
say, Well affirm the text, then we're going to do the field. And
we're gonna say we don't know what it's saying. But
basically, that leaves the imagination to go wild. Yeah.
Right. And so
what the sad Kalam does, and this and this issue is it actually
allows you for a moment to go wild, because that's what Allah
wants to happen. He wants you to go through that imaginative
process, so that you can understand how powerful Allah is.
But then once you've settled, and that, that emotion and that
thought has settled, then after the fact, negate from it, which is
not appropriate for for Allah. so at ease will accuse the atrocities
of basically being a turning God or like philosophers of turning
God into a type of robot, or like, there's no personal feeling,
there's no personal God, but actually, it does not do that at
all. It allows you, right, just as Allah intends for that, it allows
you to feel the power of Allah, it allows you to feel
the weight of Allah's decision when he decides something done.
Right. But then at the same time, it removes all those crazy
thoughts from your head and leaves you in a state with a proper
understanding of Allah. Right? And at the same time, you're feeling
his greatness and you're feeling his power. Right? So kind of these
are two examples. I have like a million more. But essentially, the
core of it is
and what Allah
says to us in the Quran, man for rock, Nashville Kitab union che is
that we didn't leave anything out of the book. He says that the book
is what obviously luckily, che it's an explanation of all things.
And so therefore, any idea or any thought that a human has, right,
it should be able by its routing in the Quran. And if we're unable
to route it in the Quran, it's either number one wrong, or number
two, we just don't have enough knowledge or experience or
understanding to root it in the right then just like, Ah, I don't
know it, it's not present, but reality. There may be someone who
actually can find a way to do it.
Those are critical issues that you brought up, namely that a false
conception of the Sharia, or Arpita can cause a person actually
to say, You know what, I'm just going to be sinful. Right? I'm
just going to commit since right? And I'll give me an example of
that happened to a youth one time that he had very bad acne. And his
family had told him that he cannot touch it, because that would mean,
altering the creation of Allah. Hmm. So his acne became worse and
worse and worse. And now this youth was not somebody who would
go and research and stuff he just accepted, his parents said, so
when he eventually got help for his acne
as an adult, after his face was like, marked, deformed, no, like,
permanent scars. So he's getting that. He's like, Yeah, no, I got
it. So someone said, Hey, nice, your face looks much better. He
said, I know, I felt bad I had to go and, you know, go to a
dermatologist even have some surgical procedures to fix these
holes in my face. And we're like, why would you feel bad like this
is lawful for you to do. It's how that if it would have been
highlighted, the first moment you got a pimple to start cleaning it
out, right. And that's an example of somebody who believes himself
to be living in some sins, because of a false religion that he has
been given or a false religious teaching that he's been given. And
it's far worse and awkward to to write in these matters. And I like
to also add that something that Sherman Jackson once said, and he
said, people who accused a shadow that their God is not personable,
those same ashadha Go look at their Sufi poetry, right? That's
where you get their actual understand their actual
relationship element of Allah and the doc data is mainly to put the
guardrails on errors. Right? Don't do this, don't think this about
Allah, we cannot think this is impossible for Allah to guardrail
from the errors, mental errors in our theta. Whereas if you want to
see actually their warmth, in the relationship within the nearness
to Allah look at their procedures, because that's where you'll find,
which is an important distinction for those who who make those
claims.
Yeah, yeah. And if you look at like the HECM, for instance,
they're all every single hikma is just its foundation is
theological. Even that shows you like, it's very, basically your,
your, what they call in therapy, which is CBT.
Cognitive behavioral therapy, is they try to remove basically what
we would call to well, they tried to remove the cognitive delusions,
and so they actually in CBT, they actually have a list of common
cognitive delusions that people are going through, and once
identify them, then they have all of these solutions.
And so if you look at the Hichem, actually, it's very similar to
that. It's identifying, basically, this is your spiritual problem.
And then here is actually the theological root of your spiritual
problem. Here is the solution to it. And Allah also uses this
concept in the Quran, right? Where, as you know, when they say,
God, do SH T roll a welline like, Oh, these are just the stories of
the ancients. And Allah says kettlebell Rana, Allah Kulu be
Hitman cannot exceed more. He said, The intellectual exercise is
actually the stains of what you have earned that have shown up in
your heart.
Right. The idea between bad logic, the relationship between bad logic
and right, a heart that has began to decompose and Rolla.
Right. And so even these guys that you're seeing in the Revere
mission, you know, they're trying to be logical, but it's actually
their part that has a problem. Yeah. You call these cognitive
delusions? Yeah, that's what they call upon God.
And subhanAllah you feel this if if ever a person was practicing
Islam with strength, then for some reason drifted off into some
weakness. Right? When you think back at your dean, you think, Oh,
that that's something that was only for the past. Right? Even
there was one brother who was with us and he was very strong and he
drifted off. And when he came upon some brothers
Who are still doing their dean? He said, Man, you still in that 90
stuff
as and he got the shock of his life when yet there's a new
generation who's still into this right? And they're still totally
absorbing and believing it. And so there's something that happens in
the human heart when they drift away to imagine that deen is only
something from the past. Right and it has nothing, no reality in the
present and they get a seriously rude awakening when they realized
no hundreds upon 1000s of people are so fully in line with the
shutdown. Right? And you heard the saying Iblees who are welcome and
costs right? If this is the first one to use rationalism and
analogy, the actual Correct answer is a police who element actor
Alpheus
Allah, right. Beautiful IBLEES only uses logical fallacies and
the way around that is logic.
Allah to commands us all the time after that talk. Detune therefore
illogical. You do look a little rushed. Yes, DLR rushed our Kalia
de la Huck. It guides you to goodness and it guides you to
truth if you use your brain properly. I would actually say
shift for the jump in your Mica. Yeah, at least was the first
literalist. Because he looked at the law. That's true. He was the
first oh my gosh, well, I will advisory because he he judges on
the outward only.
Yeah. SubhanAllah. That's beautiful. Yep.
All right. Give us another one. From your from your cookbook from
your recipes.
Oh, by the way, do you have your settings on something that every
time someone else speaks it mutes?
No, I don't. Okay, because every time some noise comes in this mic,
you go mute. So I'm gonna push my mic away.
Yeah, no, I just I don't have any settings. Okay, no problem. Um, so
yeah, so another another one that's really important is just
understanding that whatever Allah subhanaw taala, whatever kind of
systems that he creates for us, you know, there they are for our
psychological benefit. You know, like, Allah did not have to create
potluck, he did not have to create that he could have just created a
world where it's like, these are your actions. And these are the
consequences of your actions, he could have created a world that's
entirely cause and effect and removed himself from the picture,
that could have been a decision that he made, but rather, he chose
to give us a concept of color. And he tells us,
he says, Mother would be laying the sheets on a gemstone,
remember, he says the kala, that so I learned my fat. And
he says, one of the explanations of why he created this concept of
clutter is that you do not despair from what has happened to you.
Right? So if you look at this idea of failure or shortcomings, you
know, a summer Allah, God forbid, let's say I was, you know, driving
with my kids in the car, and I got into an accident. Right? And they
passed away.
How would I leave after that? Yeah, with guilt of knowing that I
killed my kids Subhanallah I would, how would I do that without
the mechanism of Kadar Allahu Masha thought right? As Allah will
did happen, everyone dies in the time that they are supposed to
right? You know, so, this idea that how Allah subhanaw taala not
given us other we would have to absorb our failures fully
right. And then at the same time, people also suffer from success,
right. So then you can suffer from failure, you can also suffer from
success, right? And so if it was not that when I succeed, I say
Masha Allah, right level of Allah, write that as Allah will, this
risk is from Allah, the successes from Allah will my tofield Lee
Lebanon, and I then would have to absorb my successes fully.
And what type of spiritual
kind of,
you know, for said destruction would that cause if I had to, you
know, if we had to endure our successes fully, and believe them
to be from us, right, so part of the beauty of that is that Allah
subhanaw taala gives us the struggle, right? But then he takes
the credit for himself, it's upon them and that is actually to
protect us from ourselves. So if you look at the entire concept of
clutter
It is a concept in which Allah subhanaw taala has actually done
it for your own good to protect you from the despair of your
failures. And from the arrogance of your success, amazing. And, you
know, that is when you start to appreciate Allah like that, right?
Because Allah has no problem. You know, just like we see in the
Quran over and over again like Ibrahim can ask him at any case I
took ill moto.
Ask him, show me how you bring the dead to life. Musa can say I want
to see you, right? The angels can say are you know, are you sure you
want to create human beings? Look at all this stuff that they do.
Right? People who submit to Allah, Allah has no problem with them
developing a greater appreciation for why he does things Subhan
Allah after after Subhan Allah first, right? So that's why I call
it a when I'm talking. Right? Don't you don't use submit? Don't
you believe he's Oh, definitely. Bella Bella, well, actually Achmed
Nickleby, right. Now I can have your heart admit, I can have your
heart access the finer subtleties of reality. Right? And so, you
know, there's nothing wrong with this. And in fact, it's a means of
bringing you closer to Allah subhanaw taala. Inshallah, if the
submission is there, if this is not there, then there's we have to
go back and we have to adjust some things before you start kind of
going into that place, but some people, they definitely, you know,
need that and they have, you know, they have been kind of impressed
with kind of Western academia and knowledge and insights and well,
people have wealth and what they've done. And so, you know, it
is important for us to kind of demonstrate what Muslims are
capable of when they have the tradition, but also when they're
able to, you know, route that tradition back to the Quran, you
know, but in the in Abdullah or the Allah Donna, and that's what
he says, you know, he says, we learned Eman, the dynamic Eman, so
Makarov, nellcor and visit not email. Right is that we learned
Eman and we learn Quran and we increase an email. Right. There
are some others that go to the Quran without the tradition. Right
without the Eman without. Without that right. And so they're not
getting out of the Quran what they wanted to and it's actually
because there are almost spiritual prerequisites to accessing this
finder.
And when you look at the, the stories of are the questions to
Allah in the Quran, we find
the angels ask, attach alluvia my UFC Reveal Secret.
We find that Sedna, Musa says in shape to electro macabre AI, it's
a it's a it's a statement in the form of what the intent of a
question. You find Prophet Ibrahim says any cave to a hidden motor we
have we don't have a single question where prophet or an angel
asks Allah. Why did you do this? Huh? Show me how yeah, there's
show me how. And then there is will you put in the earth? Yeah,
we're gonna kill again. It's not ever Why did you do this? Because
that assumes that would require a lot to answer to another standard
to justify to justify you need another standard. Right. So talk
to us a little bit about that and the nature of those questionings
Hmm, that's a good one. Yeah.
Yeah, so I think that probably that would kind of bring us into
kind of our ontology is kind of ontology I really don't like to
use these words like I did them but I tried to stay away from them
for the most part because then people kind of check out and
they're like, Oh, this is a bug me.
But basically, it's it is how we
define how are we categorize things? Why is it vulnerable? Why
is a cup of coffee
even though there's like practically no difference between?
Yeah.
And
so kind of our ontology is that the unseen world
is the real world is the primary world.
And the dunya is representative
ation of the unseen world or the potentiality of the unseen world,
as in to say, just as Allah says these are as yet,
finds, they're not the real thing. They're assigned pointing to the
real thing. Right. And so the the vibe, we usually think it's like
the world like the dunya. And then the vibe is the unseen, like the
second, but in reality, the unseen is the first and the dunya is the
second
Subhan Allah. Right, just as Allah says, Allah Tala, he'll hire one,
right. So the idea is that the unseen is the primary world,
that's where the real functions of the world occur. That's where the
other is, that's where the angels are bringing about every three,
that's where true reality exists. Reality, your absolute reality, it
is an unseen reality. It is the light. And Dunya is a
representation, it is the place of a set. Those that those dunya
realities are always pointing to the unseen reality. So I don't
want to Isla
he says, Hola, I'm Tara Illa rahbek que Fana deadly? Is that
the extended the shadow? Right? And so when you see the shadow,
what do you know, automatically, without looking back? What do you
know automatically is behind you, when you see the shadow has to be
the Sun, Sun, you don't have to look and see the sun, you
know, the sun is there. So Allah says, How do you not see Allah?
And I'm Tara, ILA Arabic, don't you look to Allah.
So you should, when you see the dunya, when you see a matter of
the physical world in front of you, you should immediately be
thinking the sun is pointing to the sun. Right? And so this is the
question that we have to kind of start to answer is, you know, at
what point in our theological growth and our spiritual presence,
at what point to converge, in which we are able to see the
unseen before the scene. SubhanAllah. Right.
But talks about this, right?
And he says, kafer Yeah, gebouw shaped, well, whoever who took the
shape? How can something cover him? Right, when he is the one
manifesting all of those things? Right? How can something cover it?
Right. And so this is, you know, something, it's a point of,
as we said, kind of theological, your theological foundation, and
then your spiritual presence with
at some point, when they all converge to can they come
together, the fruit of that is that you are able to witness
Allah, to witness not unseen, even before this, but there's a process
to that. So at first we'll be looking, and then say,
subhanAllah, then see Allah.
That's how kind of the normative that's where you start. That's,
well, at first is just, you know, even seeing it and thinking of
Allah, that's a start in itself, you've gotten somewhere, right? So
at first to even look at something of the dunya, then to see Allah in
it after the fact and remember Allah after the fact that's a good
place to be, but there's actually levels. Right. And there can be
someone right, it's possible spiritually and theologically, to
reach a state where you're seeing Allah even before you're seeing
this Subhanallah you know, it reminds me and and I want to say
something to those who are maybe new Muslims or they're wondering,
when when you're saying seeing the unseen, you're saying, in his mind
witnessing the Divine Wisdom first,
or the divine teaching in this? It's not like that you're going to
start seeing two different things the seen and the unseen. He means
here that you're going to start witnessing the Divine Wisdom
first. And you know what, you reminded me of something amazing
from hypnotic V.
Where he said that all of these theologians got it wrong. Okay.
Regarding the divine attributes that seem like human Morticia
biatch. We call them with the Cheviot, the divine attributes to
disrupt divine descriptions that seem like their physical body
parts, like God's hand, and he said, Those who say that he has a
hand like this or wrong, and he said those who say this is the
analogy that we have to treat and allegoric
is all wrong? He said,
The head is the hockey or the analogy. This is the analogy.
And How perfect is that? Who came first? Yes, here's where the
analogy right, so amazing. That's, so that's about seeing Allah
first. And the second thing is there is
to remember that the Hickam or otherwise, about the person who
knows and is so infused that Allah is in charge of everything. When
he wakes up, he thinks to himself, What will Allah bring to meet
today? Yeah, before anything happens, he's already in his mind.
This day is planned for me by Allah. Let's see what ever happens
is from Allah already. He's Paula. It's upon them. Yeah, that is
president in the HECM. He said, the third one says What will I do
today?
As the knower of Allah says, What will Allah do with me today, it's
upon them.
There's in the world of dream interpretation, there is a very
common theme where bad things happening are seen enough to refer
a person before they happen that morning. Okay. And the analysis of
that is that that is for the person who has a weakness in
remembering that everything is from Allah. So the bad thing when
it happens, he may not realize this is from Allah. Right? And as
a result, have a bad reaction. So the his seeing that in a dream is
a reminder, right is Oh, I saw this. So it's from Allah, it's
gonna, it's, everything's gonna be fine. It's bad. We don't like it,
but everything's gonna be fine. So that's even sometimes the function
of these bad dreams, not nightmares, but dreams informing
you of a hardship coming up. It's like a
construction ahead, or a detour ahead, type of type of vision. But
for the one who was constantly aware that everything that's
happening today is from Allah, He doesn't need such a dream. Hmm, he
doesn't need that reminder.
Interesting. No, no, Mashallah. This was a great episode program.
Would you like to share one more thing before we leave?
Um, yeah, you know, Hamdulillah, um,
you know, I've, you know, obviously, I've been teaching for
years, I'm delighted. I mean, a lot of great teachers, and very
thankful
to my father, and all of my teachers and others who have bad
influence on me, as well as yourself. Shed shed, you know,
we're very grateful to you very thankful.
And I've always been someone who
really tried to stay out of, you know,
public public teaching, or at least online teaching, or, and
I've always been someone who has kind of deferred and just trying
to give myself, you know, more time to kind of mature and ripen,
and I'm, in my early 30s. So, I still feel like, part of me still
feels like I should probably wait a few more years.
But Hamdulillah I don't know, I think, I think the Philistine
LAHSA issue also kind of made me come out of my shell a little bit.
And kind of get more of my writings and stuff online. So I'm
kind of in the process now of doing like, a soft launch for
substack. And kind of working on a few things to become a little bit
more open with myself. So Hamdulillah I don't I don't know.
It's just, I've always, you know, my, my teachers have always been
of those who were kind of critical of, you know,
just like any type of self promotion, or, you know, we know a
lot of these YouTube guys and stuff who don't even have teachers
at all. SubhanAllah. So it's been something kind of tough for me to
reconcile, but I feel a little bit more comfortable. And so I'm
trying to write a little bit more and trying to
maybe put out a book at some point. So I'm relying on me and
I would appreciate any encouragement or advice, if you
tell me no, don't do that. Give more years. No, funny thing is,
this question came up last
winter break hombre and we actually met schicken Marini
there. And, and some, we asked him some questions. And one of the
questions was, what is the what are the parameters of Dawa have
speaking publicly. He said, There's one simple rule for the
outside and one simple rule on the inside. He said, the simple rule
on the outside,
only speak about what you truly know. Right? Yeah. If you don't
know, don't speak and say you don't know. And that was a great
piece of advice we're all studying. I mean, a lot of us came
back to a community, you have to help. You can't just sit do
nothing, right. So I'm still
finishing this book with a teacher, I just had my fifth
lesson. All right, and always have connection to a teacher. But
showing them a video makes so much sense that you know, when you are
absolutely certain about something, because it's there,
you've been taught it right. And there are times you and you're not
certain about something, then that's the distinction. And that's
where it's important because if a person waits
to finish a full five year curriculum before even sharing
information from year one, beneficial knowledge from year
one, the world is moving and people are getting lost. And as
you said, ignorant people aren't going to take your positions then.
So today, we're in a position and I was taught this right away.
We I was taught if you learn the seven obligations of voodoo,
obligatory elements of voodoo, go teach it right away. Right? As
soon as you learn, you know, whistle, go teach it right away.
You need to spread the head because it at least is not
waiting.
misguided people are not waiting, right? So when you learn something
you teach it. Now there I do recognize there are people with a
philosophy that says no, this can ruin the student. And that's why
there's an internal lesson. That internal lesson give all credit to
Allah subhanaw taala take none for yourself and always be humble.
Humble yourself by saying I don't know Humble yourself by having
teachers. Humble yourself by being part of a gem. Ah, the solitary
YouTubers very dangerous, right. Have a jamaa have she'll have
massage it. Right. And I think that that's the way that
everyone's that's the way to go. Yeah, because especially the stuff
that you talked about today on this attributes of Alana
everything the online world has gone metastasize almost cancerous.
With the opposite, right? It's like every day I look up and
there's someone new saying some ridiculous thing about
this, right? They're not waiting. They're not even studying. Right?
It's like
slogans almost just slogans. Yeah, bumper stickers, as we call it,
that's what it is. Yeah. Thank you so much for coming on. Does that
go well Kara thank you so much. And we hope to do this you know,
maybe even once a month because of your, your,
your tough city and Calamy recipes are wonderful to have and I have
um looky looky here reading the comments and hearts and smiley
faces and one hundreds and hawk and deep and all these things all
because of this understanding of the Quran this deep understanding
of the Quran. So, inshallah we will have you on again,
not not too long ago, jolla
wants to get some water from Sudan, Marcela, thank you.
All right. There you have it. That was segment numero
quatro, we did the Arabic intensive we did the
what's the ruling on that? We did Raven mission.
And now we do. We had Imams of one and our fifth segment only have a
chance to answer one question that question is from Yahia. He says
that
if the azul of magic effect is to look at the people of Medina, how
do we use that to derive FIP for new issues, knowing the people of
Medina are not on the same level as they were in? Okay. So when we
look at the people of Medina, this will sue elphic Regarding Ahmed al
Medina is not
an island Medina until today. It's not a Medina all the time. It's
Ahmed el Medina of the first three generations
it's the first few generations in specific if it's a matter of
thought and necessity and he had it's the Amal
of Allah Medina here means the age Mao or the consensus I should say
can't Don't say drummer because that's the whole the consensus of
those scholars of Medina at that time.
Okay, so the medina number one is limited to the setup.
Number two, in public displays of worship, then for example, the the
sizes of their mood, their ways of praying, the clothing that they
wore the way they covered their outer undressed. That is, I'm in
the middle of these,
the people.
But if it's a matter of thought and scholarship,
then it's Domina of the scholars. It's the opinion sorry, of the
scholars, for example, non scholars called the then non
scholars, pious people had ways of dressing way, right? We're talking
about the righteous people who are not necessarily scholars, how they
dressed, how they behaved, how they acted, there's things things
related to non scholarly thought elements, non HTTP elements. Okay,
that one was more broad.
But then when we talk about the scholarly elements, right,
we refer to specifically the advisors of Ahmed Ibn Abdul Aziz.
Okay. And they were seven and then they were expanded to 12. When
they agreed upon something that's another meaning for Ahmed and
Medina. It means the
agreement of the scholars of Medina of those three generations.
Then that and by the way, that's only one of the ozone of ematic
and tomorrow in sha Allah now that you brought it up, we'll talk
about it again. We'll we'll talk about it and we'll read to you
from directly from some sources on what ematic meant by Amil erlin.
Medina. Okay. And then the medical scholars meant by that, right, but
that's just a quick summary for you.
One more question we take Is it far fetched to ask always win in
life and always be happy? No, it's not far fetched. Because we do ask
Allah to Allah for Assad if a dunya what kind of happiness and
dunya in Africa we ask Allah subhana wa Tada for
Naja success and pneus. But we have to understand that as long as
we are in this world of dunya, there will be some hardships, some
anxiety, some loss, that's the nature of the dunya. And the from
the HECM, of Ibn I thought, says that, as long as you're in the
world, you're going to experience this, however, the Muslim and the
movement can curtail that can shrink that and shrink the effect
of it. So any Muslim family is going to have hardships right? But
are you going to have the hardship of every day? You worry if your
dad's going to come home drunk?
Every dad has a hardship with his kids, right? But does any Muslim
dad who's you know practicing Islam and Sharia? Do they have the
hardship of wondering, is it really my kid? Or did she sleep
with somebody else? It's never gonna happen, right? You're not
100 out of 100, regular pious Muslim families probably never had
this happen. Never came home and looked at his son one day and
said,
doesn't look like me.
Right? I wonder if my wife was out doing something else. It just,
that's so you see how we have hardship. Everyone has hardship.
But the hardships are not at the same level when you live a life
with the guardrails of the Sharia. It's almost like living almost
like a gated community. You know, these kids who grew up without a
single problem in life, you feel like that when you practice the
shittier. You realize, man, people have a lot of problems. They don't
come close to our problems. We got issues but not close. What happens
when a rich girl in a gated community in a mansion with
servants? What is her bad day like? Her bad day maybe like she
scraped your knee or something? Right? That's her bad day.
In the spiritual sense, we're very similar to that. Our bad day is
very, very minor in comparison to the bad day of somebody else.
Right, because of the lack of guardrails, the lack of a law
that's being observed. You're opening up to so many problems
just the gender relations thing closes the door on so many
problems in a marriage.
A be intoxicants issue closes the door the game on so many issues,
the gambling issue, rulings, close the door on certain things. Just
the belief, the mere belief and the remembrance of the belief that
this life is just a blink of an eye. It's a testing ground, it's
not heaven. That closes the door on a lot of grief that comes to
people when they look at their worldly state and are unhappy with
what they see in comparison to other people. Right people
literally they get envy. They hyperventilate, they get so down
that their their dunya has a little wrinkle in it.
Because that's all they have. That's all they build this they
this is their life.
About the grief when people start to wrinkle and get old, a woman
when she starts to get old, it's not just her grief of
that she's losing her beauty, that's natural. But she might be
thinking, well, maybe my husband's not interested in me anymore.
Right? Maybe it'll go in after somebody else. If she's a
believing woman married to believing men who's pious, who has
a higher objective in life and knows this, we're just passing
through here, where you're literally just passing through.
And the moment we could leave if Allah was to say, bring you an
angel right now, the angel says, Would you like to leave right now,
you should go to heaven or you want to live more and brisket, you
should leave right now.
My kids will see the my kids in the ACA, Allah will take care of
them. If this is the decree of Allah, so we're not a people
attached to the dunya that belief by itself remove so much anxieties
and depressions. So the hardships that we do face
are protected by these layers of belief. That's how we bring
together the the happy and peaceful life and serene life with
the saying of the Prophet peace be upon him the hardest people who
receive test most tests.
The hardest, and receiving tests are the prophets and those after
them. So the more pious you have you have more tests? Does that
mean you have more misery? No, you have more happiness, and you have
more tests, because you have a roof blocking these hardships.
You have many floors between you. And those are many roofs between
you and those hearts. If let's say you have one roof, and you have a
hurricane, well, that roof can leak. And that roof, it's really
loud, right? But if I'm, let's say, in the middle of a humungous
building, and I'm in the middle, and I'm maybe let's say in floor
number 20 out of 40 stories.
And there's a hurricane out there. I don't hear it, I don't feel it.
If it leaks through, it's not going to leak through all 40
stories, 20 stories, if it floods from the bottom, it's not going to
flood all the way to the 20 The story is so guarded, so protected.
It's not just the it's the shittier it's the Sharia is the
law. It's the these beliefs about the nature of life. And it's the
spirituality, the prayers, the vicar that we do. All of these are
layers of protection. Okay, layers of protection. So when we do have
a hardship, that hardship is bouncing off way earlier than ever
hitting us. Okay, so we do face a lot of hardships, they don't come
close. And you look at the mental health of some of these
Palestinians. You just wonder is a miracle by itself. Miracle by
itself, how they're able to crack a smile, how they're able to
reconcile what's happening. And they do. Very simply, Allah chose
my family to go to Paradise right now, it was difficult, but I know
that the end result is better when a man loses 10 family members in
one night.
And that's why many, many, many people entered Islam just by
seeing this. Right? Literally just by seeing this. They see this on
YouTube, they see a man holding what was his granddaughter, right,
kissing her on the eyes and smiling, and then that man
continues on preaching, giving people advice. So because yes, the
hardship hit him.
But he had shock protectors.
That shock predictor is knowledge and understanding
of the reality of life. Okay?
How do we get rid of the anxiety of the unknown of death? Well,
think of the good things that happen when a person dies. Okay?
The good things that happen when a person dies, when a believer dies,
it's always a good death. And it's like the unknown. For a moment, he
gets scared. Because someone's about to take your your soul out.
Angel is about to take your soul out of your body, you don't know
how that feels, it's gonna feel a very, very
odd to say the least, if someone was reaching to touch your uvula
that's it with a stick, like when they do a tongue depression, just
to see your throat you feel worried. If I told you listen, in
20 minutes, a doctor is going to come in here and and he's going to
put the tongue depressor and he's going to take a swab from your
throat to see if you have any bacteria, or any sickness, you're
going to be upset.
And as time gets closer to that you're just going to be nervous.
So but that's only one aspect of death of a believer when a
believer dies, nine times out of 10 very peaceful death. And Allah
gives him signs of his impending death. And Allah begins to lift
the veils of this world and he begins to see with his heart. The
realities of the next world such as the angels themselves, many
many many righteous people sitting on the hospital bed or their
deathbed, and they're telling their families I'm seeing things
theater from the unseen why? Because his heart is seeing the
heart has the soul the neffs has its own set of eyes.
All right. And so when that overpowers the body it sees while
you're awake, they've been me Jumba he says he used to see say
he sees
we used to see dreams now he sees them while he's awake.
Because his heart has become so strong it overpowers the body and
sees while awake.
You have many, many stories about people who see these things. Okay?
And they're not all like pious scholars only know the regular
pious people and probably any Muslim out there. Pakistan
Egyptian Palestinian Moroccan and all of these these deep Muslim
cultures guaranteed go ask any of your grandparents what happened
before they die guarantee one of your grandparents was saying, I've
seen angels flying around things like that. So so when you're
worried about death
think of the good things about death.
And where are you going
you're going to be free. There is no more having to seek wealth
having to seek food having there's no envies there is no of these bad
feelings. There's no competition you're also there's there's no
ugly, handsome rich poor, you're in a whole nother abode. Now.
There's a lot of things
to benefit from and that's what you think about alleviate that
sadness, ladies and gentlemen, is that Kamala Harris Subhanak
Allahumma Byham digna shadow and Illa Illa and Mr. Farrakhan have
to take one question, I can't resist taking it Muhammad Hasnain
What do you do when my local masjid and okay
and one Masjid burns Indian incense which is made of cow poop
everything about them a scalpel and impermissible in Islam these
into sticks also have magic spells take him and throw them straight
in the garbage sparkle of him to consider when they learned this
stuff, but according to where they go out to dinner in Santa Fe
Illallah Dena m&r Minnesota towards whatsover headquarters so
