Smilla Rahmanir Rahim Al hamdu lillah wa Salatu was Salam ala
Rasulillah early he was so happy here woman while I welcome
everybody to the stuffiness it nothing but facts live stream on a
scorching Wednesday afternoon here in the great state of New Jersey.
Coming to you live from the third story of the LA Casina soup
kitchen, about a mile down from the Robert Wood Johnson University
Medical Center. Today we have a special guest with us. We have one
of the students from hailing from Michigan and fettucini law. alum
Riki from Michigan.
Mohammed Mohammed Sulaiman is one of the students that Dr. Mustafa
today is dedicated to reading about the area of southern Arabia
of Yemen of Hadramaut. And getting from him some of his feedback on
what is life like to set you all know that our first man behind the
desk man behind the camera was right. And we all saw when he went
to door Mustafa and spoke we actually broadcast that his speech
was very moving for a lot of people because they got to see our
man. They're almost sick of giving a speech and there he met.
Muhammad Suleyman is a Palestinian Dahlia, who's still finishing his
study in Darfur most of entity and he's going to tell us all about
it. So first, we're going to read a little bit from
this book that we've been reading from. And it's an amazing book.
It's one of these investments you buy it like you buy like a trophy,
basically put it on your
put it on your bookshelf, like it's a trophy. It's called
meetings with mountains, some of the few who had never before been
photographed. Their lives were not well known to people outside the
world of seeking knowledge. And so Luke, which is turning with all
our hearts to Allah subhanaw taala. So let's read a little bit
from this. So begins by saying, the southern Arabia the Valley of
how the remotes in Yemen is the heartland of one of the greatest
spiritual traditions in Islam that of the battery the carries of this
tradition, the bene Allah we are say is descendent from the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wasallam it is usually set up this is me now that
the descendants of Al Hasan tend to be referred to as shitty FS or
shut off. And meanwhile, the descendants of a sane tend to be
referred to as se IDs. And the descendants of both sometimes like
a mother and a father, right. Usually they in Egypt, we refer to
that as Hassanein, both Hassan and Hussein. And so when you see
someone with that last name, who knows if that's there, it could be
just a name but if that has its meaning that it means has
descended from it hasn't and from an Hussein,
also, I like to tell say, but this area, we're talking about how
they're gonna tell you Oh, my Can you get us a map? It's far from
all where the war is taking place. There's a lot of people are
worried. Oh, Yemen, there's war. That's like saying, you know, like
United States, you know, 911 happened here, right? But
someone's from Texas. Oh, how are you? Right? No, like, it's like
miles and miles and miles away, like 10 hour bus rides away. So
Yemen, it's a big country relatively. And where the war is
taking place has nothing to do with how the remote so when you
see people going to study in other modes of studying Teddy has
absolutely nothing to do with where the Houthis and the Iranians
have their people in there and the Saudis had, and there's massive,
massive droughts and suffering right around that area, but the
area of how the remote is not that area. Good. How promote is it's
not written there, but
Okay, now it's gonna Yeah, there you go. Where is everyone seeing
this? Yeah, they can see it. Okay. So where's how the remotes
it's like somewhere around here, right?
other mods is that whole salvage a little bit of zoom out a little
bit hole. So line right there. I don't see you see that line where
it says trim in the top right. Where's it? All right here? Yes.
There you go. Okay. Is there a way to highlight that? Okay, so there
you go. That's where the Hadramaut Valley is. See that?
That whole year was the hottest month Valley
is just the city of city. That
is huge. So that's the whole range there. That road there that's
passing through. Yeah, that is the actual valley that you can
actually pass through. Now, the region is a little bit bigger.
There you go. All that's what's called Hadramaut. And it's far
from what's happening in Santa. You know, it's funny shit. Yeah.
When I went to study, people were kind of confused. And they were
talking to my parents. Yeah. And they were like, Isn't it
dangerous? Isn't there like war? Isn't there some kind of battles
going on over there? And then, like, a day or two later, there
was like a big shooting on one side of the country, like, you
know, a couple hours away from Michigan. Yeah. And I was like,
Are you guys okay?
It's, that's how it is. I mean, people just have a picture of one
country, but
that area has not seen what the West has seen. The issues are in
so not
back to the reading.
It says they are descendants of Sejal Kony and the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and have a balanced teaching that
helps adherence to be in in the world, but not have it be in the
dunya but not have it that said, naughty or believe was said not.
So many sayings are attributed to say naughty and you don't know
what's what, but he said the dunya is in your hand but not in your
heart.
Okay, as honorable traders, they were instrumental in spreading
Islam in many parts of Africa and Asia. Now, their early descent.
Lineage comes from a scholar who established them as people of the
Quran, not people of the Sultan, in other words, that broke the
sword and announced that this tribe from now on we have no do
politics, we will not seek power, we will not seek any positions, we
will be the people of the Quran. And so they made their living
through trade to Giada prophesy centum said 9/10 of wealth is just
of risk was distributed to the merchant, the merchant and the
data, it's a great combination. Because wherever you go, you can
earn a living. And you could do Tao on the side. And that's what
they did in East Africa is all entered Islam because of them.
Imagine all of Indonesia and Malaysia. Where did how did the
Islam come in those countries through them and western India. So
why you have show up in western India. Okay, which means chef, so
if you're on Instagram, hop over to YouTube, so you can
follow along and see the pictures that we're putting up here.
The new generation of Balawi scholars are nicknamed the hubba.
So this is a fairly recently recent type of lockup, or nickname
that they received meaning the beloved ones, and they continue to
carry out this vibrant spiritual tradition. The author here says I
formed a strong connection with the battery states in the early
1990s. As a student of heavy metal shooted had dead I aspire to visit
the source of his teaching, which is the birthplace of his ancestor,
one of the greats in the Senate in the chain of transmission. He was
born in 1634, died 1721 And that is Habib Abdullah ibn Allah we at
had dead.
And the author says in 1998, when a dear friend and mentor invited
me to accompany him to attend the yearly visitation of the Prophet
tude.
So Yemen, if you have Yemen, on the left, you have Oman on the
right. And right in the middle of Yemen is this area called hada
remote where these oils are from and there are Shafi scholars, and
they follow the teachings of it because it is considered their
Imam.
So let's take the first biography. First biography is
the guardian of where Mohammed Bin Ali is buried one of their ima,
and he said I had a chance to visit Salalah in the south of
Oman, so now we're shifting countries, but they I guess,
extended to there. And I had wanted to to visit him, and he's
one of the descendants of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wasallam. And it's a landmark of their family. Right sensitive to
the fact that there exists some strange ideas in certain circles
about visiting graves. I was very cautious with my driver, not sure
what his reaction might be, because some people that it's
embedded in them an allergic reaction that
A grave immediately means shook. Right? If there is a grave of a
Muslim say, wonderful, let's go visit it. That should be the
reaction. There are many benefits. So you've been lied to regarding
this idea that graves immediately shook.
Right? It's a, it's a, what's called the creation of disk or the
development of disgust within a person you fomenting a disgust in
a person and a fear that is completely irrational.
He said, I shouldn't have worried turns out that he was the
chauffeur of one of the well known to you in the gym, and he's just
basically telling his story. It was a relief to see him happily
showing me all the different scholars where they're buried, and
they regularly visit them.
There's a little short story about his visit. Let's go to the next
scholar.
Maid of Honor we had been Adil Habashi insane soon when you go to
Yemen that's one of the local airports
Is it a local airport so say you own is actually like the big city
next to turim it's kind of like a more metropolitan I guess.
That's where the airport is located. And there's a lot of like
the like heavy Valley and heavy like the heavy tribe of of say you
and it's different than the heavy tribe of like unhealthy. For
instance, there's like two different parts of of how the
remote and have you added haben she was like a very big Imam and
like so his descendants kind of they have like they're almost like
their own little portion of that tribe of Elizabeth she's, they
have a lot of intermarriage with the East Africans. And as a
result, that's why his name is Elizabeth she have a she literally
remains the person who is from East Africa. So at some point,
there was some connection with East Africa. He's here he tells a
story on my first visit to the Valley of how the remotes in 1998
My traveling companions suggested we should visit say I'm the
grandson of heavy valued heavy. This was a family name I had heard
often mentioned in the study circles because the greatest
moment had debt whose books we all read. His top student was at
McKinsey and how she
was said of the Great Habib that Such was his sincerity, that
whenever he stood up to give a public speech, people would cry
before he even opened his mouth.
As we approach the sand colored dwellings, I began to speculate
about how the man would we about the man we would meet, he was a
link to his great ancestor who lay buried nearby in a large tomb. On
reaching his house, we ascended the stairs to a large open room
the great sage entered with no formality or any attendants paving
the way for him. He sat before us with the dignity and humility of a
wise elder smiling warmly, as he sought to provide all we need to
be comfortable. I immediately felt at ease with the strong but gentle
soul, we stayed for what seemed ages drinking tea, while he showed
me old and hand tinted photographs of his ancestors gave me a glimpse
of their lives of these great men who had touched not only me but
countless others with their exemplary strength and spirit, and
that's his picture there. And that is the saw that you'll see many of
the Hebei were, and that's the Goetze that you'll see many of the
Habib had. And one of the wisdoms there was to differentiate
themselves from others who were tended to be more extremists.
But not all of them had that but some of them did. And it's
permitted for them in the chef a school to have that in the chef a
school. One of the opinions is that the beard is what comes from
the chin, not from the bones, the side bones. So as a result of
that, they're fulfilling the Sunnah there. And you see many
different photographs are four of the leading data we scholars
allow Adam is that a bucket? On the right here, he passed away
a lot of humble tenders Janaza it was really edgy. Were on people
that intervene. They so he passed away in Jordan Allah and they
prayed over him in Jordan, and then they moved his body to Tarim
where he was actually buried under the sativa of Oklahoma cut them in
the graveyard of zambon. Which is like typically people are not
buried there. Because a lot of the people that are buried in that
area are like
only up from like way in the past that are like very venerated and
beloved somehow to the people there so like for that to be the
chosen place for him to be buried was like a really special
shout out and and like the amount of people that were there like it
was like an ocean
he was
specialist assigned at the end of time
I met to sell was his specialty
the next biography is that of the one of the really was considered
one of the most influential according to one of the recent
journals that that produced the most influential look at the most
influential scholars is Habib Omar bin Mohammed bin Hatfield bin
Salman. And the author says I first saw Habib Ahmed with heavy
body and some of their students leaving the Prophet's mosque in
Medina by the door close to the Bucky graveyard, where many of the
prophets relatives and companions are buried out of the Allah Tala
in Houma, Jemaine was that Allah Allah have even a Muhammad.
They move with a sense of purpose and unity like a single body which
distinguished them from the rest of the visitors there. This was
the new generation of the Habib or the beloved ones, and I had met
heavy mama shooted, her dad and had been abducted a scarf to great
mountains in the autumn of their lives. I've met them meaning at
the end of their lives. Now the energy of this young group was
something different. They were like a gentle cyclone. Five years
later in 1998, visiting South Yemen to attend the commemoration
of the prophet hood at a Salam. I took permission to photograph
Habib Ahmed and Teddy him and I was a little nervous as I set up
the camera, and tripod for the photo. I didn't know him very
well, but had heard that he had been singled out for particular
attention by various spiritual guides and scholars from
childhood, as if being groomed for a weighty destiny.
And I'm going to ask you to tell the story about his childhood,
which is
almost like Hollywood. Really. Think about it like when they like
mythical, to be honest, it's like mythical. As I watched him through
the lens, I could see how vital his spiritual energy was as he sat
quietly invoking the name of Allah,
who was extremely courteous and composed, but there was an error
of wildness about him and intoxicating light that drew
people to him like moths to a flame, and burned away the
darkness in one's soul.
Now, years later, his followers are in the 10s of 1000s. His
college and teamdata Mustafa is attended by students from around
the world when he visits the Far East, he attracts vast audiences.
In 10 years he had changed greatly transforming from an impassioned
saint to a seasoned sage. He travels extensively taking little
food and sleep whenever he speaks about the prophets of Allah when
he was selling them and his family. It is as if he knows them
personally. And you'll always hear a new intimate story about them.
His face is often slightly upturned as if drawing energy from
a vast unseen and that's where we'll stop the
Far East when he goes to Indonesia they have it seems to be like
soccer stadiums and some some of these events. When you look at
them, you don't see the end.
I don't know if they're spilling into the streets, you just you
just see people have on people on pump people like must be easily
easily over 50,000 Madison Square Garden as a visual, it's 17,000
people, right? So if I'm looking at it, and it's like, double that,
easily double that could even get up to be more you could get up to
a certain Majelis especially if you could look back at the
previous visit that he just did to think it was Indonesia or
Malaysia. The last visit he did Malaysia I've never seen anything
wrong. Stadiums I'm telling you, football stadiums 80 to 90,000
people all when you get a minute pull up one of those pictures of
those stadiums and there was one one of the students
let's put us lower and heavy pyre you all know the armor is making
the the thingy. You could put odia of Yemen at the bottom and lower
our pictures a bit. He's make he makes the thumbnail while I'm
streaming. I'm sitting here watching.
Okay, the story about heavy bombers youth, his childhood this
like a mythical moment.
They say by retrospect they say about Habib that like his father
used to see him gather up pillows after his Druce or go to the
animals that they had and how he would practice delivering the data
while he was still a child.
And his dad like when he saw that. On the low hand when he saw that
that was like he saw that there was something in his son like I
felt though, and specifically the famous story that they that they
tell about the father of Shaheed Muhammad bin Salman bin Hatfield,
who was kind of like the Imam of 20 men his time right now.
And it was during the time when the communists had control over
Yemen. And you you hear some of the the kind of like raw displays
of Eman in the face of Cofer in kind of when they relate the
stories of how the Habib kind of stood up to these communists, but
basically any type of display of religion, you will wiped.
And they were constantly they were constantly attacking the
communists because they were saying like, have you can't just
take people's wealth and reapportion it? This is LOM. Yeah.
So they were really, they were really up in arms against the
communists when they came in, took over Yemen and of course, they
were like atheist. And they used to have like, heavy, heavy bow was
he talks about this, you mentioned this, Allah, Geraldo, he talks
about how they used to have a sign that would say last Oltean Allah,
Allah Sultan, and they had this big sign that said, no voice will
be louder than the voice of the Communist Party, basically, right.
And then, and then years later, years later, after the communists
had been kicked out of Yemen and everything was all said and done.
Habib hosted his jesselton with named the DOS where he talks to
see it where he gives exegesis of the Quran. He hosted that class in
that Sahar, where that same sign was in that same square. And then
he said they used to say that there would be no voice louder
than the voice of the Communist Party. And now you hear the voice
of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam and his his his Lord
Jalla Jalla Allah blasting through these these these alleyways right
so the what happened was
heavy Mohammed bin Salim
Rahim Allah basically what happens is they used to have them come and
check in with the communists in a place like they had this little
like building next to Gemma team, right and jam and Teddy was the
place where most people pray drummer intention right. And it
was the oldest, the oldest drummer and had him for a while before
they ended up establishing another one. There's fifth behind that
right? And the chef at school you can't have more than one drummer
simultaneously. Same with us now so
so what happens is that was under construction so they were praying
in Masjid Mendota which is far away from where where the chicken
was happening, right? So, happy Muhammad on Juma every single
drummer they had to go and check in so he leaves Habib Ahmed with
his shawl and mustard metadata and have you been what at this point
is nine years old? He's nine years old, he's young boy, he leaves him
with his shawl and he goes to check in and he he's never seen
again after that moment, right. He's never seen again after that
moment. And and as Habib would grow, as he would grow older, his
his brother happy mature, Allah, Allah hameau who passed away
recently Happy Valley mature he saw that like Habib was kind of
Yeah, Nina Chateau was like promising there was a lot of
promise in the way that Habib was growing up and so he had him move
from from how the remote in order to continue his education where he
went and he studied with Habib Mohammed had dad who was become
his
his father in law later in life in the city of Baylor, which is in
the north of Yemen, right. But the showerhead here is that heavy
Mohammed like when he when he was when he was kidnapped, you know,
they they saw this as a huge blow right? Because having Muhammad was
only the Imam of how the remote at that time, right and the amount of
time, but he you know, even even like, like some of the poets when
they they write some of the poetry about this moment,
they mentioned that there was a secret in the fact that he left
his shot with heavy bombs. Right there was kind of a handoff that
was happening there and the people of Allah subhanho wa Taala they
have insight into these things and lo and behold Allah right, so he
left it and he went this to shed any Allah, Allah humble. And
there's many stories about the Habib standing in the face of
this, Cofer like they mentioned a story of one of the habits that he
despite them, you know, threatening them and telling them
don't you can't come out dressed up like in the typical gear that
they'll wear, right. He was walking through the streets and
wearing the Juba and the Imam and the reader and all of these
different articles of clothing that are linked with the prophesy
Solomon's by sunnah, right? And when they saw him, they said,
Yeah, heavy, why are you doing this? You're gonna get yourself in
trouble. And he said, so that people don't forget this
prophetic. This prophetic guys, right? So what did they do? They
took him they tied him up to the back of a car and they started
dragging him through the streets. And the whole time he's yelling,
Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, until he passes out. So you
have these motives that these are alumni, they really they stood in
the face of this Cofer May Allah subhanaw taala reward them on
behalf right. It used to be in the city of Teddy him that he bought
of Teddy him which was one of the oldest schools in tedium, and Dr.
Mustapha which didn't exist yet. All of these different
institutions of learning were closed because of the communists.
You know, as Chicago Has anyone called TV says that we used to
hide our books of nouns. They used to hide their books of grammar,
and they used to go by night and sneak into the homes of the show
you in order to read books of grammar
with them.
And then Allah subhanho wa Taala when he saw this kind of this
desire to enliven the religion of Allah subhanho wa Taala put Baraka
in their knowledge. And now look at it spreading all over the
world. I mean, we think that we have issues here. They had
massive, massive calamities where they felt to these communists are
not just they have policies that are unlawful. They're atheist, to
direct and open atheists, right?
Explicit atheism, that's what communism brings with, the more
you go up in the ranks. It's not like here you become a Western
liberal. And you can say the name Islam, I'm a Muslim, I believe in
a higher power bla, bla, bla, you, you have that here in the West,
where you can have that as long as you have the all the other
poisons. You could say that, right. But there, it's an explicit
atheism that you have to embrace. And Marx was a materialist. Before
he was an economist. He was a materialist, right. He was a
philosopher, I mean, and materialism was his philosophy. So
they're not only facing this, in Dar Al Islam, they were also
attacked severely, because of their sad Arpita. And their
Kozani. And to solve, there were attacks severely to the point that
was like, almost in hiding in both ways, right? amounts of fits in
and the destruction of a legacy, or at least a perceived attack on
their legacy. And an attack on this that really, I don't think we
can really imagine and appreciate. You know, the, the fight that they
had to fight through goes through. And the fact that now it's a place
where where people go for it would have probably been an unheard of
concept in 30 years ago. No, right. There's probably been
unheard of in the school opens up what 1995 That must have opened up
1995. And Habib Ahmed was one of the he was the spearhead of all
this data, and that's why a lot of people go there. So
so that's the anniversary of the school's anniversary and his
father was was his body recovered, or they never recovered it. So
there was no like, there was Janessa was it even because the
there's a waiting period, there is a waiting period? I'm not sure
what they what they did. Exactly. But But yeah, I mean, they never
they never recovered his body.
The Alonzo tell us, can you pull up a picture of we want to thank
you.
All right. Tell us about you. Tell us about yourself. How did you
discover the batteries of Yemen and how did you end up there?
Allah Allah Allah, Masha, Allah, Allah
Hamdulillah I mean, they they kind of, they kind of came to us. Have
you been Omar? May Allah preserve him he? He visited Michigan in
2011, right. And when he visited he had Shahab Ducati Mia here,
share here here Rhodus all of them were with him of course I was like
a mixed up kid, like you know, run around my teenager Yeah, I was. I
was running around causing problems at that time. So I had no
idea that he came but he came into our community like he came into
our masjid and stuff like that and and have you after that
you know, with some st Shara people were asking for a teacher
in that area. And have you chose should have to cream like they
were asking basically, can we get a teacher we like to have the
cream. And she'd have to cream ended up coming? And you know,
like, the thing is, is I was just thinking you Dr. Shetty off
camera. And I'll do it again on camera for kind of putting out
these this content constantly and flooding the internet with content
that is linked back to the Prophet sallallahu wasallam with an
authentic chain, because one of the things that would happen for
all of us youngsters is that when we would become religious, or we
would want to practice or we would come to Islam, the problem is that
everything in the Sangha is broke, right? There's no chain, right?
And so like, you know, running around like a mixed up, kid, you
want to do good, you want to do Dharwad like I was just burning up
to do diamond burning up to do that I was seeing people make
mistakes that I made people seeing people do stupid things, not
knowing anything. And then eventually, like, you know, you
you go through the route of all of the different groups. And I just
realized I was like, listen, these guys are talking about nothing.
They're talking about nothing, like all of it is Calam folly, you
know, and so, I was like, Okay, I want to go and I want to sit with
these Sophie guys. Right? That was how it was phrased in my head.
Right. And, And subhanAllah there was one brother in our community,
may Allah preserve him. His name is Patrick. And he had a
connection with Sheikh Abdul Karim. And I just remembered that
somebody had mentioned to me once he was like, you know, you and
Sheikh Abdul Karim. Yeah, you guys would get along, you know, because
you got like a little bit of incendiary personality, right? And
shut up to Kareem. He's more like a controlled flame. And I'm just
kind of like hacker that burning things down like a wildfire.
So I was I walked straight up to this guy and I was like, Listen, I
want you to take me to shut up to kill him. Right? I want to know
more about this sort of stuff and everything like that. So he said
Expedition abducted him to house may Allah preserve them and reward
him on our behalf. And they were reading the beginning lesson of
the beginning of guidance. The day that he died and I had been
involved in the community at this point in Dawa, I was I was about
to become the youth director. I was involved with a lot of the
youth stuff for several years now. Like basically just doing the best
we could with whatever we had, you know, like sticks and rocks, like
better, I guess.
So, we, they bring me into the Halacha. And, and she was reading
from the beginning of the dietary diet. And just from there, like I
just kind of kept it low key for like almost a year just going and
selling which should have the cream, I had no idea about any of
the hype, I have nothing. But over the course of that year, I just
said, I want to drink what he's drinking.
I want to drink what he's drinking. So one day,
he had mentioned that he was going to South Africa to meet with his
teachers. I was like, man, if this guy is on when he's on, I want to
know what his teachers are on.
I had no idea who have you ever met? Was there anything? How about
you? How about nothing? I go to South Africa. I booked a ticket
that was over 15,000 or $1,500 randomly for a 72 hour trip? Wow.
72 hours. It's like almost 18 hour flight and then something else
some kind of like connection flight. We get to Cape Town. And
I'm with this brother Brad. May Allah preserve him.
Guys while he may Allah preserve him. We're together in the
airport, and he just has him. He's like we shouldn't exit the baggage
claim baggage claim. And I was like, why shouldn't we exit the
baggage claim? Go out the baggage claim. That's how you do when you
go to the airport? He's like, no, no, no, no, I'm staying the
baggage claim because they have to come through the baggage claim to
because we had arrived before heavy, smart. And like I see
people walking out and I see the big group of Capetonians waiting
with their drums and everything to receive heavy even stuff. So I'm
like Madhava Hollis, I wait. And I'm sitting there on the chair.
And then all of us all I see is this man walks out because Jason
the doors open the doors swing open and this man walks up and
he's like an army all by himself. And I'm just like, alright, that's
him.
Have you been walks fast? Yeah, he does always walking fast. He does.
And like all he had with him were a couple of the translators. Some
of the alumni, they just prayed with him and stuff. Like, he just
comes out. May Allah preserve him and I go and I give him salaams
and I'm like mama daddy, then he's like, he's like, he's like
Muhammad hamdulillah Allah Lika.
And I was like, that's it.
So it was a it was a beautiful weekend, Masha, Allah, Allah,
Allah, Allah. But really what I was sold with, and I tell this, I
tell this, the students when they're about to go overseas, I'm
like, listen, you're about to go to a place. And if the mushroom of
the place that you're taking from is not everything for you, you
will not benefit. So go there and look at the teachers and look at
the main students. Are these people you want to be like or not?
Yeah, if they are, then throw away all your reservations and give
everything to what you're taking. If they're not then find another
place to go. That's it. Right? So what I saw was people who I wanted
to be like, I saw people that were refined, I saw people that had
tasted a noodle Mohammedi, right. And I wanted that. That's really
as simple as it gotten. And then hello, so I came back and you
know, the jazz continues. You just get pulled and pulled and pulled
and then you find yourself moving to today. And now what year are
you in? No. Third year I just finished my third take us through
a day there all night. Why don't we get a picture of what dorm was
different looks like take us through a day.
Allahu Akbar. So what does the day look like? Masha? Allah Allah,
Allah, Allah, Allah, it depends. I mean, if you're living inside the
doll, your your schedule is gonna look a little bit different than
mine. But the idea is always that my my mesh head of this is that as
much as you're capable of being somebody who's living inside the
door, even if you're living outside of it, for failure, right,
this is that, like, one of the main principles is that heavy.
It's a famous thing amongst the students that heavy like typically
a shed, if he was to take on a student, he would take on a
student after testing them, right. Again, you hear the stories of
some of the high vibe, they say that they came to the house of
their shake, right? And his chef, they had a bunch of guests over
and they were passing around the food and all of this kind of
stuff. And he told the chef tells his servant, he says, Don't let
this guy and
he's like, I'll tell you merhaba I guess I'm gonna do, but I can't
accept now I'm going to do what you want. He goes to the door, and
he says, Listen, stop, you can't come in. Right? So the guys like
marhaba, and he stands outside of the door of a ship. And then when
everybody is finished eating, he passes around the medicine. And
Tim, if you guys have been detained him what the MC said is,
is like, it's like a little container that they pour water out
and catch the water while people wash their hands like as a
portable sink, basically. So they have a little basin where they're
catching all of the water. And then he says come here to the
servant. So this should if someone comes up to the chef and the chef
says take the water that you've just poured out and pour it on
that guy's head.
So he goes out. He goes out, he goes to the window, it dumps the
water onto the guy's head, and the guys just like Baraka, chippy but
then he says, he says, Call us this guy's ready, let him Let him
in. So he was testing him.
There's enough you know, is there still enough that's what they
wanted to see before they take this person on do the basic work
and then we'll take you in. So it's a famous saying amongst the
students that what is heavy test for the student before he takes
them on? Can they follow the team or not?
Can you follow the program of data Mustafa if you can follow the
program of Dr. Mustafa marhaba Halawa Salah you've passed the
test basically. Right. So how does it work? The students are expected
to be awake an hour before Fajr to an hour before Fajr and to be
present in the masala before the end of the night ADKAR begin so
that's 3:30am just about 3:30am right students are meant to be
present in the masala at about 3:30am At the very least they're
meant to be present before the account of Accra lady begin they
say that they used to have punishments for somebody who walks
into the masala after the the reciter says with annuity that had
been withheld lever, right they like if he begins that card, and
you're not in the masala punishment. They used to have the
means to make them tweet, pray 20 Euro cause every day I don't have
time as a punishment for being late. But now it's a little bit
easier. hamdulillah
there's some funny stories about that, but we'll keep it short. So
they basically once that's done once the car is over, they will
have a car after the Adana Fajr right there's certain Sunette car
like they do have Fajr after the the Tula guys before Fajr And
subhanAllah. Hamdi Subhan, Allah Allah Lima stuff that Allah 100
times, and then after that, they will pray Fudger and typically
heavy Roman will lead the Salah, and that's, that's one of the
Salawat that heavy will always lead. So the students will almost
guarantee if Habib is in team almost guaranteed they will have
an interaction with Habib every morning at Fudger. And then after
that, they they recite the eighth car of the morning, right? There
is it is God of the morning, when the as part of the morning are
complete, everybody goes to their Halaqaat and you have your first
Holika. Right, your first lesson, the first lesson will take you all
the way up until Iraq. And then after that the students are
expected to pray they'll have prayer on the honor system. If you
don't, you're missing out on yourself. But that's typically
when people will pray. And then you go to your second lesson and
your third lesson after the second lesson. There's breakfast and
after the third lesson. Everybody goes for a pay Lulu they go for a
nap, right? And by this time we're talking about 9am You're talking
about 9am nine so you have a six hour your first shot, you'll be
five and a half to six hours. Yep. And then you take about an hour
and a half, two hours depending on how like you know Mujahid visa,
really Allah you are, some of these guys will break it down to a
half hour. You see you see some very big things in a place like
Dr. Mustafa and I think what it is, is it's like, when you have
people and their their purpose is to make sure that you get from one
place to another you can start to do kind of like pretty drastic
things. Like if I know somebody's gonna wake me up, I can push the
limit very far. Yeah, you know what I mean? So like, it's almost
like it's like a training gym. And like, they're like personal
trainers. Right? And they're just trying to like people will really
push the boundaries, like you'll see as people do some really cheap
things in a place like Dr. Mustafa, like Go, go without
sleep, like go without sleep, like memorize large texts. Like do like
you have basically people spotting, you know, exactly,
that's literally what it is right? You can you can really push the
boundaries and determine stuff like people will lose insane
amounts of weight when they get into the dog because they'll start
to lessen the amount that they eat more and more. And support isn't
necessarily any. It's not good for me. So you don't have people that
are over there, like trying to gain weight. And you know what I
mean? So it's like, you have so much support. Exactly. And so
that's one of the that's one of the benefits of living in the
dark. I recommend it to anybody that wants to go study, if you can
at least put off marriage for one year. And get some time in the
dark like these guys, they man, I'm so jealous. Like I'll see like
Ryan walking around. And like they're living on a different
planet. They're living on a different planet. They own like,
the context of the contents of a backpack. And there's just living
in the summit. You know, subhanAllah it's and especially
the guys that go to the satellite school, so those guys are
different. They're in like some village in the middle of
Hadhramaut somewhere amazing. And like you can't hear like if you
have a car rolls up to the village, you'll hear it from like
two miles away. And that's news. That's the news. Right? All the
students are like curious, like what's going on? Right? So like
these places, they really they push the boundaries, right? So
that's the morning then everybody goes for a nap after law. People
go for salad and then they have his Quran. Every day you recite
your own has you recite in a group? So every, like every person
you have like a group of maybe like eight or seven, depending on
how many people and every person will recite a page until you guys
finish your job. Okay, all right. And there's a Hatem that takes
place every Thursday via those, those Halaqaat of his right. So
they had the Quran every Thursday, right. And then after after,
people typically will study after that. They'll have lunch and
they'll study and then after also you have the roja and typically
there will be with heavy Vermont which is a reading in a number of
hearts softening books.
All right books onto Soho books on Tafseer books on Hadith, all these
different hearts often in books, they'll they'll read them with
heavy armor.
And then after after, they'll have another set of cards that will
take them, like maybe 10 minutes or so. And then they'll have
another downtime but till method right before Maghrib, about 15
minutes before they'll start reading with collagen. After
Maghrib, they'll have a lesson after a shot, they'll have a
lesson. And then the students have dinner and study time and then
lights out. So that's five lessons in the day, I counted five
lessons, not five lessons. Okay, so you take them five subjects, at
least sometimes. Sometimes you'll have like seven subjects, six
subjects, and they'll switch off based on the day. Tell me about
when do they still do it that they'll do it a random time
there'll be a chip for doubt. Yep. Every every trimester, they have a
diode trip. And it's organized. It's organized. Yep. And the whole
dar will go, the whole dar will go like it'll be like before we go
oh, well, before Ramadan. Like they'll do like kind of like a
trip where all of the data goes out. And you get mixed in with the
other holocaust. Like you'll have like advanced people in your in
your group. You have people that are just getting mixed up. Yep,
the student body gets mixed up. And they all go to the different
villages and different cities and how the remote. They spread out.
They used to go to like different places in Yemen as well. And some
of the guys they went to Socotra, which is like an island off the
coast.
But yeah, they'll go they're spread out. And there'll be out
doing Dawa for like three days or so which is like, it's similar to
like the Tablighi Jamaat. Yeah. And you just sleep in the masajid.
And sleep on the rooftops and all that. Yep. So then they're doing
Dawa, to like the more simple village people. Yep, yep. Simple
village people, and then some in the city. So, so the whole school
that's like, what, 600 people, and sometimes the photo op participant
as well as looking at
this building here. So this is
the front. Is this the front?
Side? Yep. That is the sort of the front I guess I can't really tell
what the front is because sometimes they'll open one door,
and sometimes they'll open another. Yeah. But that's
typically where we enter from. Yeah, that's where the people park
their motorcycles and they enter from. Okay, let's see. I'm curious
what the how the interior now looks.
So Omar, get us a picture of the interior.
For those that are interested in visiting the dodos actually coming
up, they have, oh, that's really good. Actually, right after this.
Omar, when you put up a picture of the interior, we'll put the
application link for the dodo, anyone who wants to go to Davos
over the summer, and study there for about 40 days. Delta is 40
days, right? Yep.
You can apply and you could go, we have a number of our brothers who
went from this community. Now, you go out and dow A 600. People, or
they have like, like 100 Holika. One time?
How did you mean you mean daily? Like, how many? How many? halacha?
Yeah, like for example, what are they? What are they all doing?
Different cities, okay, they're not all have How come? They don't
go to this, they don't go to same place. All over how to remote and
sometimes like if the if the Shimelle is open, if there's not
warfare, anything kind of difficulty. Some of the humanities
students, the people that are from the north, they'll go that way
anyways. Because that's because that's their homelands or
whatever, so that they can go out that way. And they won't have
problems because of their tribes and everything. So, yeah, they'll
spread all over the place, and it's a really big experience.
Okay, let's go to the student body. There are a lot of
Indonesians, a lot of Indonesians and 30% 40%. You could say that
you could say that all right, Westerners, Westerners are there a
lot now honestly, there's a lot of people from America lately. That's
great. I think like really the turning point that I noticed,
because I wound up having to do a lot of hikma for a lot of the
people that came by newly when they arrived and the turning point
that I noticed was actually shake Yeah. May Allah preserve him when
he visited and he was talking about the some of his father. Have
you ever stood up after that? Yeah. And he talked about how
Satan Abu Bakr Siddiq, he gave glad tidings about openings. Yeah,
to are the prophets I seldom gave him glad tidings about openings in
Islam when his father accepted Islam. And then he said, and I
give glad tidings to my brother. Yeah, that openings are coming for
America Subhanallah and after that, students started pouring
aids upon the pouring and we went from like four or five people to
like over 30
Like within like a matter of like three or four months or something
like that like and people continue continue to blur dates. Do you
notice that they're coming from a lot of people like basically are
coming from
their connections with former graduates or former people that
I've studied there, right. So you have some West Coast people, you
have people that are going from mocassin a lot of people that are
going from accosted good work that's happening over there. May
Allah preserve them and continue to bless them. And of course, you
got some Detroiters
and East Coast SIRs Masha Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah Allah from
over here that have been have been honoring us from the three or four
so far hum didn't tell me about the physically, I'm sure people
are curious about the like the physical nature of the, the
environment, whether or not they can handle the environment. Is it
too hot for them, um, people hesitate about these trips. So you
can give them some reassurance about the that aspect that they
mostly if you're serious, you don't really care, your, your
desire is so strong, the thought of is so strong that you could
care less about the heat. But just for some people's parents are
worried about that stuff. They're worried about the war, which is
not existent in the south, and they're worried about the heat.
And the worried about hospitals. I mean, you're not going to an empty
desert. There are pharmacies there are hospitals, there is satellite
now. So your Wi Fi is going to work very easily. Right. So tell
us a little bit about that practical element to ease the
mind. Not of the student, but usually like the family of the
students, so
it's hot. Especially if you're gonna go during the Dota it's hot.
Yeah, we're not gonna we're not gonna mince words. Right. And the
building, is it an indoor building? Or is it does it have a
roofless area it has, it has both and it has both. But when you're
in the masala for instance, it has the greatest AC you have ever
experienced in your life. Okay. All right. It has these huge LG
unit things and they pump out cold air that's probably sourced from
Jana
Mina in Hajj Nam those air conditioners at the top there.
It's something like freezing air is something like that. So the
masala is always like a little Qatar Jana. Right. It's a little
Rola from the old agenda. And, you know, honestly, the thing is, is
during the Dota,
you can now book hotels that have 24 hour electricity, which if
you're gonna live there, that's not gonna be Yeah, that's a new
feature. And that's like a Bougie feature. Like, that's not even
like a standard dive star. Yeah, so you can get, you can get 24
hour electricity, and it can be like, and it's not expensive. So
you know, you can, you can make it very comfortable if you really
need to, to be able to kind of focus and experience because you
really, honestly, it's gonna, there's gonna be a long adjustment
period for somebody that goes, and they actually kind of tried to
settle there. And you don't want to have to deal with that. When
you're going for instance for like the dodo. Right, so they work very
hard to make it comfortable for the students that are coming from
the west. So I don't have to worry about the fact that I'm dying, is
he sleeping somewhere with AC or is yeah, you're sleeping somewhere
with AC in dollar most that most of has 24 hour electricity, or
most of you but like if you're in Dr. Mustafa, you're going to be
having a great time and the unit, the rooms have units, the units,
the rooms have AC units, everything's gonna be asleep.
Normally, you're gonna be able to sleep normally no problem. If
you're living in the Dota house, same thing, they have 24 hour
electricity, they have AC units, all those good things is
comfortable, it's clean. If you're, if you're going to rent an
apartment, same thing again, now they have the the 24 hour
electricity with AC and comfort and all of these different
amenities and stuff like that. But just understand that ultimately,
what you're trying to do is you're trying to come closer to Allah and
part of that part of the secret of trying to come closer to Allah is
mudra had to struggle in the way of Allah subhanho wa taala. So
some things are not going to go your way, some things are not
going to be as comfortable as you'd like them to be. And that's
part of what that's why it's important to say that, you know,
this, this even this question is not for people, it's for people
whose family is worried if you're going to these places, you should
have a strong tub. A strong desire that should not care about any of
these things. What is the food? Like? Is there a pharmacy? Is
there? Is it hot? Is it all that stuff? Right? Maybe you're worried
about the Starlink? So you could talk back to the communicate with
your parents? And they were Starlink that right? There is no
right. Like, how does that work? You just go find Wi Fi and
Starlink shows up on your phone.
They there's Wi Fi already, but the way they've done it. It's
actually funny because me and me and my wife were confused. We were
like, Why does it keep on giving us ads from Germany? And why does
it keep on thinking that we live in Germany? Yeah. Right. Like the
Wi Fi that we had is like, there's like a local company called like
REMAX or whatever, right? And buy like a little card that's loaded
up with a couple gigabytes and you log in and whatever, right? And it
just kept showing up as Germany and we realized what the person
the owner of the company had done is he bought a couple of startling
things. Yeah, loaded them up and linked them to his kind of like
Portal. Yeah, right. So you could tap into them. So now they have
like the internet the internet's better. I mean, honestly, frankly,
the internet's better and there's no blocks because like you have
WhatsApp calls are blocked. If you if you're in the Middle East and
some places this nothing is blocked. Everything is like, easy
to use. Okay. A man goes with his wife. A man goes with his brother,
his sister. What does the woman do all day? The woman have their own
school. Daughter Zara is a fully formed
You know, sister school to Donald Mustafa. They have their own
programs, they have their own scholars, they have their own.
Yeah, it's walking distance like two minute walk, right? They have
their own scholars on programs own gatherings of vicar. The woman's
world is like a whole different units. Like I thought, I thought
my wife is going to be miserable. And we get there. And she's having
all this fun. And I'm sitting here studying miserably. Like, I'm
sitting here struggling with my books and like trying to memorize
stuff. And she's like, Yeah, we got this mode of gathering. Yeah,
we got this boat out, we got this thing. We got this pool. They
booked the pool. They go on, they all go have like a little pool
party or something I need the women all have like their own
universe over there. And the gatherings there. Let's say a
woman. She watches Habib's videos and she wants to be able to sit in
the gathering. That's not going to happen though. With heavy Brahma
himself. Yeah, during the Dota. It can during the Dota. Yes, but
outside of that, outside of the Dota. I know some of the Habib
will teach specific classes in Daraa Zara but they have like
their own like entrance. And like their own like
a kind of like a room that's quartered off from the rest of the
school good. And they'll go in there and they'll kind of like
teach from there. It has no access, they can't see and they
can't be seen. But they'll go and give a specific class to the
women. But in the Dota you said yes. In the Dota you can like you
will be either in a room that separated and like behind a
curtain and Habib will be on the other curtain or whoever the
teachers will be on the other side of the curtain. Or, like same
building but like different rooms and heavy armor is present
throughout the whole Delta. Absolutely. Absolutely. Heavy
Armor. Have you called them? All of the big hubbub are usually
around and like there's a lot of visits to some of the elder hub I
have and stuff like that. So there's like how many attendees
though? 50 100. From the west, it's picking up every year it's
getting more and more explicitly from the west. No, there's there's
there's three daughters that happen simultaneously for the
summer toto there's the Arab Dota which is Arab speakers, which is
all these like, like random villages from around Yemen and
stuff like that, and like Egyptians and Saudi and like all
these different places, they come and they attend. And then there's
the Malay Dora, which is Indonesians and Malaysians they
have their own universe. Like literally their own universe with
their own translator their own translators their own like
everything. They even have their own
because the high vibe when they went to Indonesia and Malaysia
they intermarried with the within the Indonesian and the Malaysians.
So you have like full fledged morning bread. Indonesian
Malaysian does not speak a single word of Arabic, heavy Subhanallah
like you know what I mean? Like it's like it's a very it's a very
different situation than ours. We need to bring some over here and
get them some American women and Colosse Bada bing bada boom, we
have our own set of Habad Yeah, right. They intermarry wherever
they want, you know, um, yeah. So. So there's that. And then there's
the Western donor, which is everybody that speaks English.
Okay, good, good. Good. All right. So tell us about Hebei giving Dawa
in Indonesia and Yemen. Law sorry, Indonesia, Malaysia. I mean,
they're responsible for the spread of Islam in these countries. Yep.
I think almost exclusively you could say yes, exclusively. No one
was giving Dawa in though in that part of the world, aside from
them, so why don't you talk about that a bit.
Can Lyon you want to come here and host a bit. I need to go
downstairs for a second. Yeah, come in host and be the
interviewer.
smuggler? Yeah, we need to know about this. And then we need to go
to East Africa. Allahu Allah. They did a lot of Dawa there to Allahu
Akbar.
To integrate
the passing of the Shah, throwing back to the story of heavy
murdering his father.
So the Habib in Indonesia and Malaysia really, they have, they
have a story where they call it like the ODI
where an Indonesian man and eight of the Himalaya they used to call
it Java. Basically they came together and they decided to go
into Indonesia, the islands of Java and basically start to do
Dawa. So they all took their trade and whatever they had going on and
they went and they just went as traders right?
And what ends up happening is through their o'clock when their
interaction with the locals and their kind of teaching about
Islam, Islam starts to spread like wildfire in the entire like entire
group of islands that makes up Java and the same
and the same thing, the same thing as well for for Masha Allah,
Allahu Allah, East Africa, right. They would go as for trade, they
would go for trade and that was actually considered to be
Like, for the job, and for the younger, the young side from the
Al Balawi that was considered to be like the Vegas,
the East Africa because there was so open and there was so many
foreign things going on over there, right? But mashallah quota
Nebula The element the people of Allah they they got there too and
they went and they, they would open up simple shops and like
there's simple simple things that you hear about some of them that
like, for instance, when they would when they would do a
transaction, they would give the person more than they would do
very simple tactics, very simple texts of data that were just
really what it was it was a clock Muhammadiyah, right, they brought
Hamedan character to these people, and they kind of displayed it. And
it caused the people to ask questions, right. And they began
to ask questions about Islam and the Muslims and things began to
spread that way. And they were also very, very calculated about
what they prohibited. And what they didn't. Like, for instance,
they had the Indonesian and Malaysians they like they had like
a bunch of different epic poems and stories about like, they're,
like, quote, unquote, gods or whatever. And so the Hubei would
say, like, hey, let's take out this word of God, myth creation.
Let's remove this and remove that. And you guys can keep the nice
little story class. And you know what I mean? Like there's no, you
don't have to throw the baby out with the bathwater. And that was
part of their their hikma in the way that they dealt with them.
Yeah, absolutely. I mean, like, there's a bunch of things in this
in this society here in the West, right? That they're not
necessarily reprehensible things in and of themselves, right. So we
have to, like, we have to have the wisdom, the prophetic wisdom to
look at the culture of the people that were were around and be able
to pick out that like, like a mountain and Atari, right, the
prophesies have said, removing harm from the path. Really, that's
it just removed the harm from the path and leave the road the way it
is. You don't have to uproot it.
hamdulillah question here? It took years though? Absolutely,
absolutely. Not. Absolutely. This isn't overnight. None of this is
overnight, right.
100 Allah and that's, that's really all over the place. That's
how Islam spent everywhere, right?
Someone's asking how do we enroll in donor Mustafa. So there's a
couple of ways that you can enroll the website, I think they renewed
the website, and they have a direct line that you can talk to.
It's called legislative Cabul for Dar, and there's a phone number,
that maybe we can try to dig up that you can connect, connect to
on WhatsApp and kind of talk to them. And now, and so you can you
can connect through the through there. And then I'm not sure about
the new website how that works. But it seems like they've updated
it. And it's Yemen, honestly, like so like, if you have somebody
that's on the floor over there, like on the ground that you can
kind of talk to to go talk to them in the office, that helps.
Especially when, what like I mean, you're gonna need, you're gonna
need somebody that knows somebody. That's one of the things is like,
they won't accept somebody that isn't like unknown, completely
unknown, right. So if somebody if somebody like if you know, Dr.
Shadi if you know, Chicago academia, yeah, you know, sure,
yeah, yeah. And you can get like a recommendation letter.
You know, go meet them if you don't, because one of the things
one of the big problems with students of knowledge is they
won't take from their local area, and then they think that if they
go overseas, suddenly, they're going to develop the study habits,
and they're going to be able to brave the woes of studying and
everything's going to work out and it's going to be amazing and
magical. And that's not the reality right? You need to work at
it here to know if you actually have it like you got it or not,
really, because people will show up and they'll realize we don't
got it very quickly. hamdulillah how much Arabic should we already
know for the English track the English track of the Dota no
Arabic at all, there's translation for everything. Right. So you'll
have somebody sitting like, like your needy brother, and like
somebody will like the Sheikh will be sitting right next to them and
they'll translate live everything that the Hubei ever sang or you'll
be blessed to hear my voice again in the the radio, the live radio
translation
where I get to sit in like a little dark room on top of the
masala with headphones in and radio mic and translate live for
you the grant like the big gatherings like the Molad and
stuff like that. And there's another there's there's a bunch of
really, really great brothers that are doing that. May Allah preserve
them and give them give them reinforcements because it's not
it's not easy to find good translators hamdulillah
Yeah, I mean, have you been there story is amazing. Yes, it is.
Whoever said that. You should look up there's a little documentary
about Happy Monday and how Islam spread. Not Islam. How like the
the Tao of the Habib spread through heavy wonder in, in. In
Indonesia. It's called the chef and the modied. And it's should be
translated. There's a little documentary it's like 10 minutes,
man, that thing will make you cry, bro. That thing will make you cry.
Don't leave
Hamdulillah I shall so the number that he shared the legend of COBOL
I have that number so I can give it to you. We can maybe post it.
If anyone's interested you can. You can contact them beautiful.
The response you may get after a while, maybe if you get a
response, but inshallah maybe we could have one of our city me guys
go on the inside. And that would be that's useful. That was that
was one of my main my main statements was to go bother them
in the acceptance office for somebody that was coming, I might
have another job for you. Allahu Akbar. I can call them I can call
them Don't worry, I have I have their personal numbers to annoy us
after the stream. So Allah,
Allah Hamdulillah. One question is, sir, so we watched videos on
YouTube of CFTR. Here, shake up the game. Yeah, here traveling
with Habib around the world translating for him. Yep. Is there
some kind of signup sheet that you do? How do you get selected for
this? If there is, let me know man.
Honestly, some of that is just like that you can find Lula yo te
mania shot. Right, that's the bounty of Allah and He gives it to
whoever He wills. There's people that Allah chose to be there
before we were there.
And they have like a hustle. See, they have like a, like a, like a
special trait, that like they were, they were kind of chosen to
do certain things.
And if a person spends time in these places, Allah subhanaw taala
will, will mold them such that they find their role, they find
the role, because it's not gonna be everybody's role to be a
translator, you know, but somebody might be a great teacher, somebody
may be a great daddy, somebody may be a great businessman, Allahu
alum. And that's one of the beauties of spending time with the
people of Allah is that they don't change you, they mold you. Right?
They mold you, they bring out like, it's like a sculpture,
right? You have a big slab of stone. And then they come at it
and they chisel away all of the extra fluff until they bring out
the artwork. Right? So I'm doing that because like,
I wish I could get in.
I was actually talking to someone the other day, and they said that
in the corporate space. A good manager is not someone who
transforms you into someone who you're not, it's that they bring
out the best qualities and
find out where they take the time to find those good qualities. And
they bring that idea. That's prophetic. That's how the Prophet
SAW Selim was, you don't see the Sahaba being one,
you know, one prototype, all of the Sahaba were different, and
they all had their own maze and like the prophets lie Selim valued
and honored all of them.
May Allah subhanho wa Taala be pleased with them and give us to
reunite with them. In paradise in sha Allah, me, I'm doing
3pm Yeah. All right. So we'll do
we'll do the
way they were set up.
We'll do that.
We'll do that. And then we'll do the drive Wednesday.
We'll take a few q&a and then we'll close up. You got some
interesting q&a on there. I was reading them. Let's see, there
were some really weird ones. But mashallah, hyah 15 is good. You
need to ask these questions, but maybe not like you know, let's see

y'all know that Wednesday is the day of between Doreen asked from
Hadith job it is a Saturday job Allah knows best when it is. So
it's always recommended to do DUA and make dua
anytime between Dora and Astra on Wednesday, so that is today so
inshallah we'll take the next few minutes for silent da Smilla
You
so hello Avara gotta say that Muhammad wa ala alihi wa sahbihi
wa salam Abdullah Hiro Billa let me in.
Okay, we have a few minutes only for some quick q&a, then we'll
break for voted then we'll have lunch inshallah. Selma son asks,
Should converts get circumcised? It is a sunnah for them to get
circumcised, but it would be forbidden for them to show their
out. We we cover this question a lot, actually. And we ended up
sort of laughing at it, but you can't show your out to somebody
for this reason. So only the people who can see you're out can
can do this. So for example, yourself and your wife, okay? So
but it's not something that that you would risk yourself for either
because it's not an obligation, so that if you would cause yourself a
risk of infection or something, I don't think there's any home kits
for this. Right? So you have to check. And it's probably not even
that difficult. But you would need to get to make sure that no person
sees your order because there's not a valid excuse for your order
to be seen. So if you cannot find somebody who is a health
professional that is between yourself or your wife, then you
don't do it.
Right you have a excuse.
I guess maybe possibly there is a way to learn how to do this and
how to make sure that there's no infection that takes place then
you can do it. Right. You know, I have any other thing to add.
But that's a question that usually comes about. But you're not
allowed to go to the hospital and a stranger get to see your OTA
for the sake stranger can see you're out of for the router on
the dire need. Only
some general guide for PA Berurah dire need so what are the ranks
here there's Dakota. Life and death Hajra
limb like severe alteration of your life blindness, going to jail
these are these are what we call Hajra. Okay, be on the street, no
home, lose a limb. go deaf. These are it takes the same rule these
two you're allowed to do something unlawful. The wall that is not
even unlawful anymore becomes lawful for you. Then you have
machaca hardship does not allow the Haram machaca does not allow
you to do the Haram then you have Mensa a benefit
also does not allow you to do the Haram
benefit. No not even though
and then you have Xena
I'm sorry father. More than you need. Like I could make 100 grand
in a contract fuddle I can make 300 grand and a contract. Fun
extra. And then you have Xena Xena is
Just ornamentation that has no benefit. Right? So in each one of
these has a ruling how much you can do and what you can sacrifice.
So the first to the unlawful becomes lawful on one condition.
Other people's rights are not affected and effect that you can't
rectify. So for example gun to your head steal his watch, you
could steal his watch because you could buy him another one, right
but gun to your head, accused him of Zina. You can't do that. You
can't rectify that, as you say. So there's conditions even on that
then they go to my Chaka you can switch methods from a shot.
Or even go to a weaker opinion in the method fair, Michelle Mensa.
Oh, my chakra also may allow you to forego us on
like my chakra like playing on an airplane or in an airport where
they might call the police on you. If they see you praying in an
airport, you wouldn't do this on him. Right? An example of that
Mensa
benefit does not allow anything. It's it's it's something
recommended, but you shouldn't forego a sunnah. And say for this
month, I'm going to shave my beard or whatever like that.
Then you have after that we said for Lila, too much of it is no
good. It's a distraction from Allah to extra of the dunya and
then Xena a little bit as Okay, that's it.
Like to add anything like that, to know that when was all you?
Considered Alright, here's a question for you can a lay man
post videos about Arizona knowing it would make arguments?
Knowing it would make argument it would cause you that?
Generally like our she used they, they discourage Gee, dad, but But
if a person is is
is doing band clarification of points that are that are unclear,
that's praiseworthy, as long as there's like, as long as they're,
they do it? Well, they have an aptitude to do it. It's with the
intention of ban clarification. And there's Adam really thorough,
right? It's not, it's not inflammatory. It's not
inflammatory. That's that's the advice that I took from shahada
Kareem, who he took from, from I believe it was from Saudi Arabia.
But that was basically on this specific point. So like, clear
that the intention is to clarify that it'd be with sound knowledge
that a person know what they're saying that they're not just, you
know, making stuff up.
And that, and that not be an inflammatory response. Like
they're not being inflammatory video, just kind of like, for the
sake of it for the sake of generating arguments and stuff
like that. It's not something that needs to be said, or somebody's
intentionally attacking people and stuff like that. And you also have
to consider that the most innocent statement you make is going to be
inflammatory to someone online. So it's really about your intent.
Right? Right. And there are plenty of people who say things that are
wrong and are deviance.
Yet, when you give the correction, they call you inflammatory and
distant and not unifying the OMA. Right. And so that's what that's
what happens out there. Yeah. All right. Let's take a look at
another question here. Where can you get the book of God that we
just recited from El Kalasa?
There is an online like, you could find a PDF of it.
It's called the it's translated as the cream of remembrance.
As for the all Arabic versions that I'm holding here, this was
purchased in Yemen. I'm not sure how you could get them here. I
brought a bunch of gifts. If I had some I would pass them to the
online. But there is an app, right? There's also the app. Yes.
I forgot about the technology, one Arabic and one English Arabic.
There's the app. Yeah. Well, also it's called the summary. Yeah.
Yeah, I call it. I'm doing okay. Question for you from pulsating
amygdala. That means he's thinking a lot
in some is, is somebody's conditional in the sense that it
is in your code that if you do x, this will happen to you. If you do
not do it, then it won't happen to you. If you do another thing, a
different thing will happen to you. Is that a concept we believe
in law who Akbar so there's a line in the poem of zubaid. It's a poem
in Sheffield, he felt a bit in the introduction. He says what is
coma? What is coma and Farwell? Omarama right, he says that this
is that what you actually benefit from that which you've actually
benefited from? Even if it's prohibited? What does he mean by
that? He means that when we say this, we don't mean what you're
holding in your bank account. We mean, what you actually consumed,
right? I just drank this coffee. This coffee was from IRIS. This
last portion might not be
you know, so like, a person could be walking around with lots of
zeros in their bank.
could count and person was zero zeros might have more risk than
them. Right? So that's actually what's been written for you not
what you've been safeguarding in your bank account. And how does it
increase? There are actions that a person can take that the Hadith
was seemed to indicate would increase them. Maybe Dr. Shadi can
can elaborate on that. But some of them are like betrayal validating,
being good to one's parents and connecting family ties, right.
These are these are means of increasing one's one sustenance,
according to the Hadith. But again, we have to understand first
of all, what we're talking about when we talk about is that is
essentially that which a person actually benefits from, not what
they hold in their hand. Right? And he may benefit from it with
sinfulness. Not right the last part, even if it's prohibited, it
means that a person may try to, to speed along there is great a
person will have something written for them, but they're not willing
to be patient and wait for Allah Subhana Allah to Allah to
apportion it to them. So what do they do? Yes, Dad, you notice, he
goes and he grabs that which Allah Subhana Allah has already ordained
that you would benefit from and he takes it through a means that
ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala has not sanctioned, so the man has not
increased anything in his risk. In fact, he's only taken that which
Allah Subhana Allah has promised him, but he took it in a way that
will bring about the Wrath of Allah subhanho wa taala, we ask
Allah to protect us. So his the method in which he brought about
what was guaranteed to him brought with it sinfulness punishment.
Now, there's a good question now how can my risk increase if
everything is written? Okay, so one of the Allamah answered this.
And you could check it 100 On this beautiful commentary and drazi as
well, that, it means that
you're a portion to certain amount of something, that amount could
be, for example, a certain person to marry. That's it is, it could
be a certain amount of money, it could be a small apartment. But if
you're doing things the way in which Allah tells us to do that,
if you're obedient, if you're full of a bed, then that apartment will
be more than enough, and your heart will be filled with
happiness. So that's the increase. It's not that there's going to be
two apartments now. Oh, it's one apartments written for you. But
what's not written for you is how do you receive it? With happiness
with misery, right?
So that's really what is increasing when we do all these
good deeds. And also, there's another conception where sometimes
we're not meant to be thinking of other color and color. We're not
supposed to be thinking, well, it's all written anyway. And I'm
supposed to be thinking like that, so that it's beneficial for a
person to believe, at some points that he can affect his future,
even though it's not true, right? It's beneficial for you to believe
in that. And that was one of the answer to one of my Shijo when I
asked him what is the value what is the point that there's two
books of destiny, there's a Book of Destiny that's final, there's a
Book of Destiny. That is not final, every year, it's written
based upon what you do, and things could be erased from epilogue
match, that will youth between the home will catch up.
So that it shows the Rama of Allah to Allah in allowing us to imagine
that we are affecting things. Although it's not true. We in our
Aki to believe that no human being has any power, nothing has power.
Water doesn't even have power to make things what witness is
created upon the spilling of water to separate creations to separate
creations, right? And when people say how do you say this when Allah
says, So and so did or that did or the wall wanted to fall. And so to
recap, for example, we say that is called column B sub burada is the
speech of an IRA.
All right, Jack, and Jill has a question that everyone says they
want to hear the answer to.
And, and Jack and Jill, I don't think your name is Jack and Jill,
because you're saying is sort of a call merely a indo Pak concept.
Got Jackie Jo, maybe, is associating with one without
effort to refute them considered sinful? So I'll pass this question
to you. Associated with one meaning when you associate with
somebody who has an error, when is it allowed? And when is there a
line you will never be seen with him? You would never be fraternize
with him as an Imam, when is it sinful you for you to fraternize
with somebody, another imam or sinful for you to be seen with
them.
Allahu Allah, um, but
that would seem to be under the precipice of like, whether or not
there's harm, right? Like, for instance, when we talk about
Darwin, when is it? When is it like people always ask me like,
Okay, I have my friends and I'm trying to give them Dawa or
whatever, right? And, you know, when do I stop? You stop if it's
going to cause them harm or it's going to cause you harm, sin.
Literally like the the imam or whoever it is, they're meant to
write if you have an ability to actually affect the problem that's
going on, and there's no harm onto you or harm on to others, people
seeing you associate with this person that will think that this
is going to be a valid behavior or something like that, then, then
you're obliged to try to fix that. If you don't have an effect, and
you're potentially harmed by it, or it will potentially harm others
for you to be associated, then that's a problem, right? That's
where it becomes a problem. Or if you're
being seen with that other mm would confuse the people. Right?
That would be harm, right? That would be the same concept. It's
really about that. So for example, if a person is constantly hanging
out with and doing events with another Imam, and that other Imam,
he harms people in some way, could be his teachings are deviant
in some way, or he personally harms people, like he steals from
the donors or something
good. So then when you're with them, that is a stamp of your
approval of them. And we talked today earlier about the connected
chain, part of the value of all of that coming together, you are
affirming that this is somebody you can seek knowledge from.
That's one of the values of conferences of Imams, when they're
shaking hands and taking pictures and, and that's going on social
media. Now in front of people, the shape is essentially saying this
person, you can study with him. And it's a different form of
ijazah. For us, it's not an ijazah. But it's almost like a
signal that this person has a solder, you can study with him. So
insofar as that would be confused, then we can't do that. If it's
well known that they don't agree, but they're just had a nice moment
of peace. That's different story. You have people that
any they'll call them holophane. Yeah. And Hadramaut like no call
them people that that are against certain principles, or certain
matters of creed or something like that. Like sometimes they'll
they'll come to Dr. Mustafa, for instance. And I'd be able to allow
them to speak even to the students. But the understanding is
so clear amongst the students and what have you believes and
endorses is so clear, that it's very clear that this is just a
moment of kind of like, you know, a dub that Habib is displaying
kind of with, like kind of bringing that guy's heart closer,
like Ted leaf, bringing that man's heart closer and kind of showing,
like maybe respecting the men for his old age, or something like
that. Right. So these kinds of things, they're very clear in that
kind of situation. So it's not necessarily a free for all you
know, you can't just you can't just and then you know, these days
we have Marshawn Yeah, it's so it's a very clear issue of Is it
harmful or not? That's it. Is it misleading to people or not
sometimes you have these peace accords because it's just there is
better not to be fighting than otherwise and that's not an
endorsement. Very good. All right. Let's see
you have to run All right Michael Have A Great to see you right here
Allah
Allah
All right.
Got some drama in the chat drama in the chat because official
Steven Seagal says he misrepresented the opinion on the
beard. Not at all.
Not at all, because that was direct quotes from the works of
our method and it was signed off by other colleagues. That's it. So
did
we have a medically fit QA website? So that Elias Lancome you
guys gods have beards, too? Yeah.
Yeah, yes, God.
You've mentioned this before Can you elaborate on like the, like
the modern kind of split of like the Maliki's I believe the offer
Medina nowadays. For like, we have to follow the Hadith on the
Mikey's date you that's not the medical school. The medical school
has a applies the Hadith that is ahead. The solitary and solitary
is a sort of misnomer, non Waterwatch. Essentially, anything
it could be four or five narrators, but it's not more to
watch. So Malik does have a filter for that. And that filter is the
amount of added Medina that is more to it. That's why the amila
and Medina is the scholarly consensus of the first three
generations. If they're upon something and they know best and
they've studied best and their kids and grandchildren of Sahaba
that is a motor works treated as a motor water source. So without
weighs in ahead.
There are statements and Qaddafi
his books about PS even sometimes outweighing the ahead, and there
are, you know, the opposite of that, that PS does not outweigh
the ahead. We don't there's no rejection of a hadith but there is
more towards that hadith that is a filter for that. So we may uphold
the Hadith narrated from the aspect of the narration, but the
middle of it the what the Hadith indicates is not acted upon
because there may be a condition there may be maybe abrogated. It
may have came in a specific instance so therefore it won't be
acted upon okay
all right, ladies and gentlemen, let's stop here. Just come lock in
and everybody so any final words from yourself now Allah
hamdulillah Docomo Allahu ALA is honored to be on I'm did it I was
