Years ago when I was in Egypt, I

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

was very poor at that time in the

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

college of Sharia and El Azhar, I had

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

a chance to go see Sheikh Isa of

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

Qaradawi, this brother got me a ticket. And

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

he was like, you gotta come now because

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

you may not be able to see him

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

again. So

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

I left the college, I had on the

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

Eshar outfit and went straight to the airport

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

and went to go see him. And subhanAllah,

00:00:17 --> 00:00:19

as we were talking, he realized that I

00:00:19 --> 00:00:20

was someone that Allah had guided to al

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

Islam. And so he was like, Allah guided

00:00:23 --> 00:00:25

you and you're you're in my in my

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

we're alumni.

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

Right? We go to the same university. And

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

he asked his wife to come and take

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

a picture of us. So I saw a

00:00:33 --> 00:00:34

sheikhs from Qara Douai.

00:00:34 --> 00:00:36

I was so honored, took a picture with

00:00:36 --> 00:00:38

me. Right? When I went to visit a

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

sheikh Abrahman Ketani with our brother Zaydul Islam

00:00:40 --> 00:00:42

from Al Buruj, we read to him and

00:00:42 --> 00:00:44

he has the shortest sonnet in Hadith in

00:00:44 --> 00:00:45

Bukhari

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

back to Shawwali Aladha Louie, back to Sheikh

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

Zakari Al Ansari, back to Sayna Imam ibn

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

Hajar Al Askelani.

00:00:53 --> 00:00:54

And we finished,

00:00:55 --> 00:00:57

he requested that we take a picture with

00:00:57 --> 00:00:58

him. So we took a picture.

00:00:58 --> 00:01:00

Then we went to his cousin, Sheikh Kinzal

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

Kitania.

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

And also she gave us hijazas and Hadith

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

alhamdulillah,

00:01:04 --> 00:01:06

and she also took pictures. So

00:01:06 --> 00:01:08

I saw this with my own eyes, something

00:01:08 --> 00:01:10

that I experienced and lived. Sheikh,

00:01:11 --> 00:01:12

Mohammed Al Hassan did do one time I

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

was on a train

00:01:14 --> 00:01:15

and we took a picture together.

00:01:16 --> 00:01:18

So my advice to the brothers and sisters

00:01:18 --> 00:01:19

making

00:01:19 --> 00:01:21

a big issue out of nothing

00:01:21 --> 00:01:24

is to focus on other things, not disparage

00:01:24 --> 00:01:26

muslims that hold different opinions than you and

00:01:26 --> 00:01:27

realize that
