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

My brothers, my sisters Islam. Welcome back to

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

Roaming Ramadan

00:00:12--> 00:00:14

lessons on the road. Today, I'm in the

00:00:14--> 00:00:17

UK in London and as of this moment

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

as I'm recording this video, I don't know

00:00:19--> 00:00:22

really if I'm gonna release this episode or

00:00:22--> 00:00:24

not. And, the reason is it involves a

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

person that I need to mention by name.

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

So, I'm not sure if I'm gonna release

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

it or not. If you watched it, it

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

means that I made Istikhara, I made Dua,

00:00:32--> 00:00:34

I consulted people and they've all approved that

00:00:34--> 00:00:37

I should release it. The man involved is

00:00:37--> 00:00:39

Mufti Ismail Mink. A dear friend of mine

00:00:39--> 00:00:42

that I consider as my real family member.

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

We we've known each other for so many

00:00:44--> 00:00:46

years and I just have this thing in

00:00:46--> 00:00:48

my heart that I wanna spit it out

00:00:48--> 00:00:50

and I wanna share it with the rest

00:00:50--> 00:00:52

of the world Insha'Allah Ta'ala. Now, if you

00:00:52--> 00:00:54

know Mufti Ismail Mink, if you have seen

00:00:54--> 00:00:56

him somewhere on the internet you would have

00:00:56--> 00:00:58

noticed that recently myself

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

and our senior doctor Mohammad Salah as well

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

as Mufti Ismail Mink we've been travelling a

00:01:03--> 00:01:04

lot together. I have known Mufti Mink for

00:01:04--> 00:01:07

many many years. Ever since we have started

00:01:07--> 00:01:10

our organization in Hong Kong City serving Islam

00:01:10--> 00:01:13

team. He he's been always supportive. He I

00:01:13--> 00:01:15

think he missed only one year. Now, we've

00:01:15--> 00:01:17

been we've been doing this conference for about

00:01:17--> 00:01:19

12 years and he's been always part of

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

it. Similarly, in the Philippines when we started

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

connecting Institute for the past 10 years, he's

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

been always coming every year. He never miss

00:01:26--> 00:01:28

out. Not just in Manila but also around

00:01:28--> 00:01:31

Mindanao Island and so on so forth. But

00:01:31--> 00:01:33

recently we've been travelling with other organizations

00:01:34--> 00:01:37

to Malaysia, to Ghana, in Africa,

00:01:37--> 00:01:39

in in Nigeria, and today in the UK.

00:01:40--> 00:01:40

And you may wonder

00:01:41--> 00:01:42

what is the secret of

00:01:43--> 00:01:44

this friendship

00:01:44--> 00:01:45

slash

00:01:45--> 00:01:48

work? But why are we so connected? Why

00:01:48--> 00:01:50

have we been working together for all this

00:01:50--> 00:01:52

long? And the real reason my brothers and

00:01:52--> 00:01:55

sisters is that Mufti Ismail Mink is not

00:01:55--> 00:01:58

a one man show Or let me rephrase

00:01:58--> 00:02:01

that. Mufti Ismail Mink does not like to

00:02:01--> 00:02:02

appear

00:02:02--> 00:02:04

or does not like to be presented

00:02:05--> 00:02:08

as a one man show. He always he's

00:02:08--> 00:02:11

been always saying this behind the cameras and

00:02:11--> 00:02:12

I'm not sure if he said it on

00:02:12--> 00:02:15

cameras or not but he's been always saying

00:02:15--> 00:02:17

that I'm not a politician

00:02:17--> 00:02:19

and I'm not a celebrity.

00:02:20--> 00:02:22

We are doing this work for Allah Subh'anaHu

00:02:22--> 00:02:24

Wa Ta'ala. What I have

00:02:24--> 00:02:27

maybe other people don't have and what other

00:02:27--> 00:02:28

people possess

00:02:28--> 00:02:31

maybe I'm lacking and so we complement each

00:02:31--> 00:02:33

other. And one of the things that Mufti

00:02:33--> 00:02:34

Ismail make has been doing

00:02:35--> 00:02:37

for people that he trusts, for people that

00:02:37--> 00:02:40

he believes in, for people that he really

00:02:40--> 00:02:40

admire

00:02:41--> 00:02:43

their work and so on was to push

00:02:43--> 00:02:45

them and introduce them to other people that

00:02:45--> 00:02:47

maybe they are not aware of

00:02:48--> 00:02:49

of their work and of of what they

00:02:49--> 00:02:52

have done so far. And I want to

00:02:52--> 00:02:54

share with you 2 or 3 stories insha'Allah.

00:02:54--> 00:02:56

1, number 1. The first story that I

00:02:56--> 00:02:57

myself was

00:02:58--> 00:03:00

shocked when I heard it was that we

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

were in Zamboanga City in the Philippines and

00:03:03--> 00:03:06

it happens that my room was right next

00:03:06--> 00:03:08

to Mufti Ismail Mings room. And the hotel

00:03:08--> 00:03:09

was so humble

00:03:10--> 00:03:12

very very poor in terms of facilities

00:03:12--> 00:03:15

And, the reason was not because the organization

00:03:16--> 00:03:18

was stingy or trying to find something cheap,

00:03:18--> 00:03:20

but rather, Zamboanga city is

00:03:20--> 00:03:22

located in a very hot

00:03:22--> 00:03:24

area in the Philippines where

00:03:24--> 00:03:26

safety is an issue.

00:03:26--> 00:03:28

And so, they wanted to put us in

00:03:28--> 00:03:29

a hotel that is very close to the

00:03:29--> 00:03:30

venue. And,

00:03:30--> 00:03:33

this hotel happened to be within that venue.

00:03:33--> 00:03:35

And that venue was the largest venue in

00:03:35--> 00:03:35

Zamboanga.

00:03:36--> 00:03:37

So, that's why we were in that very

00:03:37--> 00:03:40

humble simple hotel. We didn't mind but what

00:03:40--> 00:03:41

happened is

00:03:41--> 00:03:43

I was lying down on the bed and

00:03:43--> 00:03:46

apparently Mufti Ismail Meng was charging his phone

00:03:47--> 00:03:48

in the socket

00:03:48--> 00:03:50

which was connected to the landline phone,

00:03:51--> 00:03:54

which somehow was connected to my landline.

00:03:55--> 00:03:57

My phone landline in my own room And

00:03:57--> 00:04:00

he was calling somebody over on the phone

00:04:00--> 00:04:02

and I heard all the conversation from the

00:04:02--> 00:04:04

speaker coming from the phone. Now, I need

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

some

00:04:05--> 00:04:06

tech genius

00:04:06--> 00:04:08

who are watching this to tell me how

00:04:08--> 00:04:11

did this happen or how could this happen?

00:04:11--> 00:04:12

But this is exactly

00:04:12--> 00:04:14

what happened. I heard a conversation

00:04:16--> 00:04:16

that Mufti

00:04:17--> 00:04:19

Mink had with somebody in Nigeria. Now, you

00:04:19--> 00:04:20

may say brother,

00:04:20--> 00:04:22

why you did not like you know run

00:04:22--> 00:04:25

away or warned Mufti Mink? Because I actually

00:04:25--> 00:04:27

heard my name there. And when I heard

00:04:27--> 00:04:29

my name, I was I was a bit

00:04:29--> 00:04:30

shocked and I was a bit I was

00:04:30--> 00:04:31

also

00:04:31--> 00:04:32

emotional. I

00:04:34--> 00:04:36

was very happy to see that there is

00:04:36--> 00:04:38

a man who is Mashallah Tabarak Allah. Allah

00:04:38--> 00:04:40

had blessed with Allah. We don't want to

00:04:40--> 00:04:43

list the blessings in but you know maybe

00:04:43--> 00:04:45

what I mean. Allah had given him a

00:04:45--> 00:04:48

lot. Allah had blessed him so much with

00:04:48--> 00:04:49

the love of the people and so on

00:04:49--> 00:04:51

and so forth. We think

00:04:51--> 00:04:52

of someone else

00:04:52--> 00:04:54

who is not at that level at all.

00:04:55--> 00:04:57

That was the slave of Allah myself. So

00:04:57--> 00:04:59

I heard Mufti Usbain Bink talk to somebody

00:04:59--> 00:05:02

in Nigeria telling him my brother

00:05:02--> 00:05:05

you need to bring Wa'il Ibrahim to Nigeria

00:05:06--> 00:05:09

as soon as possible. He was talking to

00:05:09--> 00:05:10

a brother in Nigeria who

00:05:11--> 00:05:13

contacted me later on and invited me to

00:05:13--> 00:05:13

Nigeria

00:05:14--> 00:05:16

and that's why I made it to Nigeria

00:05:16--> 00:05:18

several times. This is Mufti Ismael If you

00:05:18--> 00:05:21

remember the episode where we talked about adding

00:05:21--> 00:05:23

values to others. This is Mufti Ismail Mink.

00:05:23--> 00:05:24

May Allah

00:05:25--> 00:05:27

protect his ears from listening to this. If

00:05:27--> 00:05:29

this video will reach out to him, may

00:05:29--> 00:05:31

Allah keep him as he is, may Allah

00:05:31--> 00:05:33

keep him humble like this. In fact, I

00:05:33--> 00:05:36

was talking to doctor. Muhammad Salah just a

00:05:36--> 00:05:38

few weeks I think or

00:05:38--> 00:05:40

less than a month or a month plus

00:05:40--> 00:05:42

ago. We had an event together. Muft

00:05:43--> 00:05:45

was with us in Malaysia. And an event

00:05:45--> 00:05:47

on the side, not the main event. One

00:05:47--> 00:05:49

of the organizers one of the, I think

00:05:49--> 00:05:50

the donors or something

00:05:51--> 00:05:53

invited Mufti Mink. He didn't invite me. He

00:05:53--> 00:05:55

didn't invite doctor Mohammad Salah. He invited Mufti

00:05:55--> 00:05:57

Mink for dinner and for a little bit

00:05:57--> 00:05:59

of reminder and stuff like that. And we

00:05:59--> 00:06:01

went, we were told to that we are

00:06:01--> 00:06:03

all going to meet that person we met,

00:06:03--> 00:06:07

gentleman, beautiful brother, Masha'Allah TabarakAllah. As soon as

00:06:07--> 00:06:08

we enter a poster

00:06:08--> 00:06:11

welcoming Mufti Ismail Mink. And by the way,

00:06:11--> 00:06:13

myself and doctor Salah, Alhamdulillah.

00:06:14--> 00:06:15

Those who don't know don't know. We are

00:06:15--> 00:06:17

so close to a point that when we

00:06:17--> 00:06:19

see the success of Mufti Menck,

00:06:20--> 00:06:22

we are making dua for him that may

00:06:22--> 00:06:24

Allah protect him and grant him goodness and

00:06:24--> 00:06:27

grant him much more than what he deserve.

00:06:27--> 00:06:28

I mean I mean I mean so we

00:06:28--> 00:06:30

never we don't feel even the least

00:06:31--> 00:06:33

anything within ourselves because he is highlighted.

00:06:34--> 00:06:36

May Allah give him more You Rabb. Genuinely

00:06:36--> 00:06:38

we love him for the sake of Allah

00:06:38--> 00:06:38

genuinely

00:06:39--> 00:06:41

we wanted nothing but his influence on the

00:06:41--> 00:06:44

Ummah to continue in the positive manner. Amin.

00:06:44--> 00:06:46

And forgive our shortcomings. If we are here

00:06:46--> 00:06:48

and there, we are human beings. But when

00:06:48--> 00:06:50

we arrived, this was the case. A big

00:06:50--> 00:06:50

poster,

00:06:51--> 00:06:53

his name welcoming him. And then,

00:06:54--> 00:06:56

we prayed, he led the salah and after

00:06:56--> 00:06:57

the prayer he told us to sit in

00:06:57--> 00:06:59

that venue. And in that venue there is

00:06:59--> 00:07:01

a big nice couch. And myself and doctor

00:07:01--> 00:07:04

Salah seeing that this event was on the

00:07:04--> 00:07:06

honor of Mufti Ismailing then we took aside

00:07:06--> 00:07:07

and we sat as

00:07:08--> 00:07:10

students of knowledge to learn from Mufti Ismail

00:07:10--> 00:07:12

Bank and we sat on the ground and

00:07:12--> 00:07:14

all of a sudden Mufti Ismail, may Allah

00:07:14--> 00:07:16

bless him. He took the microphone and he

00:07:16--> 00:07:18

invited me and doctor Mohammed salah to be

00:07:18--> 00:07:20

with him on the stage. And he said

00:07:20--> 00:07:22

listen, I could talk about many many things

00:07:22--> 00:07:23

for 30

00:07:24--> 00:07:26

30 minutes, 40 minutes. But I have 2

00:07:26--> 00:07:29

other friends of mine who are experts in

00:07:29--> 00:07:31

their own way. Doctor Mohammed Salih is our

00:07:31--> 00:07:32

senior.

00:07:32--> 00:07:34

He is a scholar. He is a scholar

00:07:34--> 00:07:36

of comparative fiqh and so on. He can

00:07:36--> 00:07:38

benefit us in great ways.

00:07:39--> 00:07:40

Why should we waste that? And we have

00:07:40--> 00:07:42

and then he introduced the slave of Allah

00:07:42--> 00:07:43

myself.

00:07:43--> 00:07:46

Wa'il Ibrahim who is expert in in behavioral

00:07:46--> 00:07:49

addictions and he start introducing me And he

00:07:49--> 00:07:51

did what he said he would do. He

00:07:51--> 00:07:52

spoke for 10 minutes and he said instead

00:07:52--> 00:07:54

of me talking 30 minutes, I'll give 10

00:07:54--> 00:07:56

minutes each and then we open the floor

00:07:56--> 00:07:57

for question and answer.

00:07:58--> 00:08:00

And wallahi it went so good not because

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

we were there me and the book of

00:08:01--> 00:08:03

Muhammadu Sallallahu but because just

00:08:04--> 00:08:06

we found that we really complement each other

00:08:06--> 00:08:07

in a very very

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

beneficial manner.

00:08:09--> 00:08:11

This is Mufti Ismail Ming. Why would you

00:08:11--> 00:08:14

go out of his way and promote others

00:08:14--> 00:08:16

when he is the one being being sought

00:08:16--> 00:08:19

after. SubhanAllah. That's that's that's him. The same

00:08:19--> 00:08:21

thing, the story of me being in the

00:08:21--> 00:08:22

UK

00:08:22--> 00:08:24

is the story of Mufti Ismail Meng talking

00:08:24--> 00:08:25

to the organizers,

00:08:25--> 00:08:29

pushing them to bring me over because he

00:08:29--> 00:08:29

know

00:08:30--> 00:08:30

that Alhamdulillah,

00:08:31--> 00:08:33

I could offer something. This is Mufti Ismail.

00:08:33--> 00:08:35

The reason why I'm making this video now,

00:08:35--> 00:08:36

this is

00:08:36--> 00:08:38

clarifying my intention. We are not here to

00:08:38--> 00:08:41

praise any man. Mufti Ismail. May Allah protect

00:08:41--> 00:08:43

him. He might, you know, Allah Subhanahu Wa

00:08:43--> 00:08:45

Ta'ala might change his heart all of a

00:08:45--> 00:08:48

sudden and he becomes someone else. So we

00:08:48--> 00:08:49

don't praise the man,

00:08:50--> 00:08:52

We do not try to highlight the personality,

00:08:53--> 00:08:55

but we're trying to say here that Mufti

00:08:55--> 00:08:58

Ismail Mikh is doing his very best to

00:08:58--> 00:09:00

follow the path of Allah, to follow the

00:09:00--> 00:09:02

path of Islam, to follow the footsteps of

00:09:02--> 00:09:04

the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. So

00:09:04--> 00:09:05

this is Islam.

00:09:05--> 00:09:08

Islam is not selfish religion. Islam is not

00:09:08--> 00:09:12

encouraging us to just look after ourselves. That's

00:09:12--> 00:09:13

why the prophet Muhammad SAW.

00:09:15--> 00:09:17

None of you is truly a believer

00:09:17--> 00:09:19

unless and until you love for your brother

00:09:19--> 00:09:22

what you love for yourself. Exactly. This is

00:09:22--> 00:09:25

what we have seen from Mufti's Mainlink. Habibi,

00:09:25--> 00:09:27

if you have seen this video, please do

00:09:27--> 00:09:29

not mind make the dua that the prophet

00:09:29--> 00:09:32

sallallahu alaihi wasallam taught us when you feel

00:09:32--> 00:09:35

something in your heart. Allahumma lahu akhidni bimayakulun

00:09:35--> 00:09:36

wajahnikayran

00:09:37--> 00:09:37

mimayadhununwaffilimayalamanalayalaman.

00:09:39--> 00:09:41

The dua of Abu Bakr Siddiq

00:09:42--> 00:09:44

whenever he was praised or appreciated.

00:09:45--> 00:09:46

Oh Allah do not judge me for what

00:09:46--> 00:09:48

they say about me and make me even

00:09:48--> 00:09:51

better than what they think about me and

00:09:51--> 00:09:53

forgive me the sins that they are unaware

00:09:53--> 00:09:55

of that I may be have committed. So

00:09:55--> 00:09:58

may Allah keep you sincere, may Allah keep

00:09:58--> 00:10:00

you humble and may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:10:00--> 00:10:03

make you a beacon for others to help

00:10:03--> 00:10:05

and to serve and to make them to

00:10:05--> 00:10:06

serve them and to make them shine

00:10:07--> 00:10:09

as you have shown. Alhamdulillah

00:10:10--> 00:10:12

in in among the Ummah of Muhammad sallallahu

00:10:12--> 00:10:14

alaihi wa sallam. I love you for the

00:10:14--> 00:10:16

sake of Allah and I'm sure if doctor

00:10:16--> 00:10:19

Mohammad Salah will see this video will echo

00:10:19--> 00:10:20

what I've said and he will add even

00:10:20--> 00:10:23

more. Because we have spoken about it. We

00:10:23--> 00:10:25

have witnessed it that

00:10:25--> 00:10:28

you always love goodness for others. You always

00:10:28--> 00:10:31

put others before your needs. May Allah protect

00:10:31--> 00:10:33

you. May Allah protect us all And remember,

00:10:33--> 00:10:35

do not focus now on the person. Focus

00:10:35--> 00:10:36

on the

00:10:36--> 00:10:37

essence,

00:10:37--> 00:10:40

the concept, the teaching, the behavior

00:10:40--> 00:10:41

that we wanted to emulate,

00:10:43--> 00:10:45

which is based on Islam and based on

00:10:45--> 00:10:47

alayhi wasalam.

00:10:45--> 00:10:47

alayhi wasalam.
