00:00:00 --> 00:00:01
			How you been? Good. Good. It's good to
		
00:00:01 --> 00:00:04
			finally meet. Yeah. It's, it's big, man. I
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:05
			love the show and, love watching it, so
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:07
			it's good to finally be here.
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:20
			God
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:23
			first always. And this is not just, Muslim.
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25
			These are also Christians who are being oppressed
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:27
			who are Palestinian. Is that right? Yeah. Yeah.
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:29
			Yeah. Like, I just saw an article the
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:30
			other day where they said,
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:33
			at the protest too, there's Christians, there's Muslims,
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			and all the guys. My grandfather,
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
			he just passed away, probably, like, 8, 9
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:39
			years ago at Alhama. And then,
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:42
			we my sister went down there to for
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:44
			the for the whole land lease, and she
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:45
			said she went down there to go see
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:46
			what what's going on with the land I
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48
			was gonna pass down to his kids.
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51
			And then, the government said, well, here goes
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:52
			your here goes the money for it. We
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:54
			took the land, and it was, like, probably,
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:55
			like, $3,000
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
			for a huge piece of land that should
		
00:00:58 --> 00:00:59
			be going for big money or anything like
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			that. They just gave it to him. He
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:02
			said, we took the land. This is what
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04
			you guys get. We're not it's not like
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:05
			a negotiation where you get to sell it
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:06
			or anything like that. They literally took his
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:08
			land, and they said, this is the money
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:09
			for the that get passed on to the
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:12
			kids Instead of my my grandfather where he
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:13
			had had a plan where it's it's gonna
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:15
			be huge, where he's gonna build condos for
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:16
			his kids to live on there and for
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:17
			them to
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:20
			move their families down there to their homeland,
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:21
			but it got taken away from him when
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:23
			he when he passed away. That's what it's
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:25
			all about. Nobody know, like, the Jewish religion
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:27
			and everything like that. It's all close. Everybody's
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:30
			all these religions are close together, and they
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:32
			all believe, like, similar things. It's not like
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:34
			I'm gonna hate you because you're Christian. I'm
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:36
			gonna hate you because you're Jewish. I I
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:38
			don't have a hate hate for for a
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:39
			religion. I have a hatred for
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:42
			for hate. So, like, Zionist people, they hate
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:44
			Palestinian. They hate Gaza. They hate, Palestine. They
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:46
			hate Palestinian Muslims. That's that's a that's a
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:48
			hatred. That's not a religion. Yeah. This is
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50
			more of a nationalistic movement. Lot many of
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:53
			them don't even, believe in in in in
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:55
			the almighty and God, you know, and and
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:57
			that's why you have many good,
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:59
			Jewish people stepping up
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:03
			and speaking against Zionism and the occupying force
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:05
			there, and may God Almighty help
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08
			to bring peace to the suffering there. And,
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:10
			Insha'Allah, we can create some, more awareness and
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:12
			some some good can come from the little
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:14
			contribution that we make to to talk about
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:15
			some of these things where where people are
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:17
			scared to kinda Yeah. Talk about. And you
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:19
			said, like, most people are sitting there trying
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:20
			to,
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:23
			look good for the, for the outside world.
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:25
			Most people are sitting there, I need the
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:27
			fanciest clothes, fanciest cars,
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:29
			the biggest houses. Nobody's really
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:33
			exercising, like, their soul. Like, you you gotta
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:34
			like like I told I just had an
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			interview the other day where people are like,
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:37
			how are you, how are you gonna fast
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:40
			and train during Ramadan? Because I have a
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:41
			fight during that time. And I said, most
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:43
			of these guys are out here looking for
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:45
			an edge. They're all looking for an edge
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:47
			with steroids or anything like that. But I'm
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:49
			looking for an edge spiritually, mentally,
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:51
			and that's how I get it through religion
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:52
			and power and stuff like that.
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:54
			So most of these people are trying to
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:56
			exercise and get
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:58
			look good for the outside world, man. But
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:00
			if you're spiritually strong and mentally strong,
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:03
			you don't need anything else. Mhmm.
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:04
			What what did you what did you think,
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:07
			about when they had so this is very
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:08
			this is very powerful what you said. It's
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:11
			like focusing and you get to see that,
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:11
			you know,
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:14
			many people
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:16
			you can take Conor McGregor. We got
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:19
			nothing against Conor McGregor or anybody, just using,
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:22
			some of the actions that people do as
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:24
			an example. Right? Yeah. We want the best
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:26
			for for everybody, but when people are focused
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:27
			more on the cars and the glitz and
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:29
			the glamour, this is talking about focusing on
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:31
			the heart, what's what's
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:33
			within because that's where true richness lies. And
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:35
			there's actually a hadith where the prophet said
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:37
			true richness comes in, you know,
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:39
			contentment in the heart. You know what I
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:41
			mean? Someone can have all the money, all
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:43
			the fame, but they're still, you know, so
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:43
			depressed.
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:46
			They're empty because of the heart.
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:47
			Yeah. As you can see, like, you can
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:50
			see mostly, like, big time actors or, even
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:52
			The Rock. He talked about depression. Just recently
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:54
			talked about depression. Oh, I can't I can't
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:56
			I can't give the title to my daddy,
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:58
			so I'm gonna give the title to my
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:00
			mommy. I can't give the title to my
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:02
			Uh-huh. Most people are looking at him like,
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:04
			how is Rock the Press? He's the he's
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:06
			huge. He has the biggest movies in the
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:06
			world.
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:08
			I'm pretty sure he's super rich, has anybody
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:10
			anything he wants. He can get anything he
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:12
			wants. But if you're not there, it's not
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:13
			in your heart. If your heart's not content,
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:15
			if your heart's not happy, if you're not
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:16
			spiritually
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:19
			like, just spiritually have a spiritual wellness to
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:21
			you, then none none of that matters. Like,
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:23
			none of that outside stuff matters. None of
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:25
			the materialistic stuff matters. Like, you could be
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:26
			the richest guy in the world, but if
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:28
			you don't have a family that loves you
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:29
			and just
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:32
			connection with God, what's the point of life?
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:34
			At what point in your life did you
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:36
			see yourself going more towards that connection with
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:38
			your creator, with God, with Allah?
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:39
			Alhamdulillah. I've
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:43
			been, I started young when I was, 13
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:43
			and,
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:45
			like, I I had just had a I
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:47
			just got connected with it. You know, when
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:48
			your your parents are somebody like, my parents
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:50
			weren't the type to force me to pray
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:51
			or,
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:53
			they wanted me to pick up the religion,
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:55
			but it wasn't like a force. Yeah. Where,
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:57
			handulAllah, I was able to read the Quran
		
00:04:57 --> 00:05:00
			myself and and I just connected with it
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:01
			when I once I read it, and it
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:03
			just got me the whole time, my whole
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:05
			life since then, I just been spiritually connected
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:07
			with it. And, hamdulillah, I feel like I
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:08
			do have a connection with God and I
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:09
			feel like
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:11
			whenever I I'm in trouble or anything like
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:12
			that, I just think about that, go back
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:15
			to Quran and read, just different, suitors or
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:17
			anything like that and it'll just calm me
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:17
			down.
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:20
			Brothers and sisters, we've all had loved ones
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:21
			that passed away.
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:24
			Mother, father, brother, sister, a close family member.
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:27
			But one of the mercies of our deans
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:29
			is that with the right intention, we can
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:31
			go ahead and continue to do good deeds
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:33
			on our loved ones' behalf. And what greater
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:35
			of a continuous good deed,
