			Here's the thing like this is the you pup right? This is not the official promos. Right. Right.
Right. So so let's just make this as casual as possible. Absolutely. Is there any like direct story
that what triggered this course specifically? Like why? On just like as a live stream and
absolutely, and November run night or whatever, because part of that part of me is feeling like it's
a combination of recent Tony Robbins events. Absolutely. And the effect that that has on people's
attendance and
		
00:00:32 --> 00:01:23
			coupled with the fact that you Was that your first Tony Robbins event they attended. So yes, so to
answer the short and short November 20, or November 10, or 20th, of 2020, I took up W and I
personally took it here in the studio and had four cameras for myself on me and I recorded while the
seminar was going on, I spoke to the camera, and I spoke to life. I said we some this is your
Tajweed seminar. And I will I personally wanted to divorce myself from a weekend seminar that I
taught around the world or a Quran revolution, extension or even a QR see, and even what Quran night
was like, let's go and try to recreate that experience. This was completely different in that I
		
00:01:23 --> 00:02:11
			wanted to bring the unleash your recitation, Unleash the Power Within. I wanted to give Muslims the
opportunity to be able to do that in a weekend seminar. So not a grand revolutionary production. Not
a QR see. But it was the UPW It was a moment where he asked you to make a decision. Who are you
okay? And I think in that moment, I said, and so to get to a story to maybe you can ask and it'll
uncover, but the hudge of 2019 I was the Quran teacher, the Dragon Warrior. I was the Quran teacher
for the whole world. Oh, Allah accept me helped me to become who I am. And UPW was, now if I can
tell the longer story, I had been listening to Tony Robbins for almost 10 years record. So that's
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:55
			not your first Tony Robbins experience. That is my first live experience. Live experience, but not
content experience. No, not content. Okay. So I I would like to say below if that was the first
thing I did, and I was a 20 something. No, I'm sorry, it would have been a lot of hype. And I
wouldn't have the executables but as a CEO of managing multiple companies and teaching and striving.
It really did it. It put things in Super perspective and gave me the chance to take control of
decisions. So that's where unleashing your recitation came from between Quran night and what you
taught with Bina now I've attended the painter class a couple of times. I did not attend Quran
		
00:02:55 --> 00:03:42
			nights just helped produce the promos also. So Ron night, you could say is a microcosm of seminar.
The seminars while taught on the weekend? Were Friday, three hours promo all day, Saturday, all day
Sunday, or on night was a Green Party. That's the bay never Yes, that was a very new version. Quran
night was a snippet one hour intro or spirituality? One hour introduction of Tajweed rules one hour
recitation. So and it didn't it didn't succeed. I mean, both of us know that it didn't take full
shape. It was a good, it just didn't catch on. Maybe Malaysia and Australia weren't a place to debut
them. I mean, I don't know like what just the impression I've always had with the Quran night that
		
00:03:42 --> 00:04:29
			it wasn't promoted. No, like, like every I think part of it is because that on one hand, they wanted
to use Quran might as a means of introducing with Sam and Quran revolution may be too to people who
may not have heard of it. Yeah, within the culture and student body of a Muslim, but not that, hey,
we are going to teach Quran as a product, live on site? No. Right? Like, I don't think it was
promoted. Or given that kind of attention. We were which is ironic, because the content that we
produce for that on the YouTube channel is amongst the most watched on the channel. If I could point
out we were it was if you go back to the year it was grown revolutions lowest year in term. We made
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:59
			some mistakes that year. Because so with Quran made in response to the low numbers, or was the low
nun numbers, coincidental? No, it was that it was another cherry on top of all the things that was
going on. We took a big gamble and said, Let's go global. Let's take it out. I don't think Ron
Knight was promoted and then all of the things that go with that. That was the same year we tried to
do the whole like multiple versions of the sales video with the
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:33
			I like profiles of like, level one, guy. Two, three in the level two, one, Lady two and three. We
did case studies, we did all those case studies and I think it was revisited it would be great but
Quran even when you say Quran night I feel deflated. I'm like, no, no, no, no, it's not like Koran
night. It's because below we put our personally I and I left my family too. But getting to Australia
and getting to Malaysia is it's hard enough to go to Dallas, oh, I can only imagine going
		
00:05:34 --> 00:06:04
			and then you get there and jetlag is upside down and, and then it's a completely different culture.
So going out and trying to smash with the content. People just spent their half the time with their
eyes open like, oh my god, he speaks and people were like his teeth are enormous. Like people
couldn't they were like, This is amazing. But I felt like an alien. I felt like an alien they were
and in Malaysia, they're like, so big. Is it fair to say that it was received like a concert and not
as a transformative experience.
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:24
			I wish but the numbers did not reflect a concert. It they were smaller groups of people who came
out. And there's this famous moment in the UK during that tour, where this lady in it was a great
class I said was there and she got up and she goes, You're too good. Too fast.
		
00:06:26 --> 00:07:09
			It was just you're too good too fast. And Assa like exploded laughing because it was American style
fast jokes. We did like changing voices. Every time that I that's the thing I was thinking I just
think about, like, the whole thing is designed for an American speaking audience. And suddenly
foreign knights promoted in a non American context. And I think part of it is because a lot of the
stuff that's promoted that does well, from a nerdy perspective, does well in a foreign setting.
Malaysia, UK, Australia. But like the stuff that works in the US, I feel like is not necessarily
global. Unless it's shifting the perspective and personal identity of an individual. Then the then
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:44
			the global Muslim population is like, Yo, I want some of that. Exactly. So that was it. We don't
belong. They weren't ready to, or they weren't, they were ready to take notes. They all came with
it. Oh, we're gonna write. I was like, no reader. They thought, okay, they thought was gonna be a
nerd experience. There you go. And they adhere. And I kept, yeah. And I kept saying it to them. I
was like, does it look like I'm gonna make you write, I was like, I can't even spell my name. Like
we had a lot of, we had a lot of fun with it. But at the end, everyone came, oh, we wish we could
take this again. Or they, they they came around to it. But by that time, I was moving from the UK.
		
00:07:44 --> 00:08:10
			So I think you just explained to me just in that moment, right there. Everybody's so used to taking
notes sitting down and being docile, but you're like coming in there with a completely different
brand experience that the people are used to. And I think that's why now that we're doing this under
the Quran revolution banner, where people know Yo, this is like, there's no notetaking here. Right?
Throw your hands up in the air, like you just don't care situation. Yes. Right. And so.
		
00:08:14 --> 00:09:04
			Okay, so, okay, so having, how do you encapsulate, um, I don't want to include that, like, okay,
that brand misalignment, so to speak, like, I think that's good. That's good for me to understand.
Okay. But what I want to kind of get to is any kind of like story that encapsulates, I don't know,
what do you do you have a pandemic experience that could kind of like really resonate, that leads
into you doing this as a live stream setup? Because you got to understand, I want to, I want to come
at it from a perspective of like, what have you done, you've done the live on site experience,
you've done the Quran revolution, online curriculum, semester, big setup.
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:38
			And this is obviously filling a void of sorts, maybe and or maybe not a void, but it's open, there's
an opportunity here, we just need to flip the perspective. So the idea and the question I think
would be more appropriate to address is what is the student experiencing at the same time, right in
relation to maybe a better question is what has the pandemic done to the student who wants to learn
Quran? Maybe, I think if you can share with us
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:44
			the perspective and the story of a student what most likely happened when the pandemic hit, okay?
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:46
			Ultimately.
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:58
			I mean, it's anecdotal. Yes, it's hard to it's hard to say statistically but have more muscle if
have been.
		
00:09:59 --> 00:10:00
			More muscle
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:06
			I have been gathering dust than not than they did then they were pre pandemic.
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:11
			I'm trying to find a word Can I try it? Let me try this one.
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:40
			At least pre pandemic, you went to a Quran gathering, you came to the masjid, you had your you had
someone in a class or your little sister who's into Dean came home and said, Oh, look Little Big
Brother, look at this ayah in the Quran, there's more likely when you're interacting with folks that
you touched more on. It is true below that as streaming services got more accessible and ESPN, Hulu
and HBO everything is in one bundle.
		
00:10:42 --> 00:11:11
			People did leave their grants to the side. And people did say they read grant less. But
interestingly enough, and I know this can't make the cut. More people did come to Grand revolution
more people that wouldn't have they were like, Hey, we saw this online. I'm talking about Well, the
thing is the witness program, that livestream program is in fact not for the Quran revolution
students. No, it's not right. Like if you're in front of evolution, skip this Yes.
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:52
			Right. Do not absolutely. If you're, this is not designed for a grand revolution student. This is
designed for you, the you person who's saying, Hey, I can't do a four month commitment. I don't even
know if this is going to work X, Y or Z I need. So I need to paint a picture to paint a picture that
the utility helps address right. We talked about the utility in the sense that Okay, number one,
we're going to be teaching you the five foundations of Quran. Yep, we came up with three, three, the
123 of Tajweed. Okay, so once or three times a week, that sounds kind of like
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:59
			I'm sorry, the only thing the only word coming to what I liked what you had described it as before.
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:35
			Pardon? The original the file, I think, Oh, we said the five pillars of recitation, the five pillars
of recitation. That sounds better than the 123 thirds read, right? Yeah. Because once reads it does
really sound something like a kids class. What about aS II know, we what I originally said was as
easy as 123. And that's, that's ABCD 123. So the five foundational pillars of recitation, I liked it
because of five pillars because because it's not, it's not 123 Because it sounds Elementary. And
this is in fact, for people who know how to read.
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:46
			Right? So this is not elementary anymore. This is intermediate, let's say intermediate at the end.
And I think it's important for us to so so on a fundamental level.
		
00:12:47 --> 00:13:30
			They will be learning some basic digital skills. Fair to say that it is a middle path between the
plan night which was three hours, and the seminar, which was like what 1616 hours, right? So this is
like eight hours. This is Right, right right in the middle. And in fact Rama you said was like maybe
closer to four then it was three on night. It felt it came up to three it came up to three okay. We
had a closer to a full seminar. Oh yeah, you could call it for it. We I wanted for but Maghrib and
the Orisha in the same setting? It took us apart. Okay, I got you. So so so now you have eight hours
of content that is,
		
00:13:32 --> 00:14:00
			is made for the intermediate to help them read Quran more. But the utility here, the problems that
we're facing, generally, post 2020 is a number of things. Yep. One is the lack of not lack of the
over saturation of zoom content that is just subpar. That's the truth. You can't I can't repeat that
enough.
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:05
			The second factor also is the
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:30
			the fine tuning of the engineering of social media applications to keep your attention on them in a
way that is unprecedented. It is unheard of below, like unheard, right? It's like attention junk
food, two times 100. Right. And so not only do you feel less
		
00:14:32 --> 00:15:00
			proud of yourself, you're what you're consuming, but at the same time it's like you're also not
getting anything done. Thank you. But below how can you compete with 18 I was a kid was at the gym
in the beautiful huge basketball court at Lifetime watching a Marvel movie How can you compete with
eight how many billions of dollars made up all those movies? How can you can't? Well, I mean, it's a
question of like, are we is it competition
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:43
			Shouldn't versus not that this is a side discussion, right? But like, Christopher Nolan, the guy who
did dark, dark night and all these other thing is like, I will never make a movie with Netflix. Not
that he has anything against Netflix. He's like, my aim is to produce media that is seen on the big
screen. Yeah, I don't, I don't want to create something that you would watch on your cell phone. Now
granted, somebody may watch even my wife, she watched interstellar for the first time on the
airplane on a cell phone sized screen. And she like she was like, what is so stupid half of half of
herself. Well, the thing is, her reaction was just like, they're concerned about a DeStorm. We got
		
00:15:43 --> 00:16:20
			those agenda all the time. Right. And so this is like, what's the big deal? So I'm like, okay, hold
on, like stop watching the movie. We're gonna go see it properly. Imagine that the scene with the
with the tidal waves. You can't fathom that on the tidal wave one, right. Yeah, a lot acoustically.
There's so much detail there that you just don't get. So we were later we watched it. We saw it on a
big screen. She said, Okay, now this is actually right. Okay. Like, yeah, I made a mistake of seeing
it on the on the hillside. So I think it's the same thing is that people will see something on
Netflix and Marvel movie on their phone. But like for them, it's they're eating junk food, like are
		
00:16:20 --> 00:17:07
			you trying to compete with? Like, if you're a supplement company? Are you really trying to compete
with Dunkin Donuts? Ah, like, if I'm a supplement company, my first step is to get them off the
doughnut so they can have my pills or whatever. Well, I mean, if you so yeah, my school were the
second place. I was trained martial arts. That company sold it to the school that I got my black
belt in. Okay. When they took that money, and they started a supplement company, okay. Right. And so
and they use that Southern Company to sponsor UFC fighters and whatnot. He's became more successful
as a supplement company owner than as a martial arts school owner. And he had a chain he had like,
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:46
			like three dozen martial arts schools, right. The one he was that kind of guy, right? The the one
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Now his thing was that I am not after the person. Like my thing is to go for people
who have fitness in their identity, who have martial arts in their identity, the person who doesn't,
they're going to eat the junk food, they're going to eat, the person who's cheap is going to eat the
filler content that's in the cheap protein powder. Okay, but the person that is serious about their
fitness, they're going to buy my stuff, because they know that actually does have a third, I think
that's the thing with here is it's like,
		
00:17:47 --> 00:18:32
			we're not we're competing not against the Marvel on Netflix. What we're doing is we're seeking to
find those who have in their identity to learn Quran is just that the last two years may have soiled
their habits. Yeah, but the identity is still strong. So and this is not a this is not a hateful
question. But then philosophically, why are we advertising on Tiktok? If we're looking for I mean,
statistically speaking, you're successful person is? Or is it that is that their bad habit? And
we're just pulling them out of that? Yeah, it could be I mean, like we're advertising on Tiktok
because
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:43
			it's a question of attention, like, their attention is there, but it's also a question of like,
that. Yeah, there's a lot of people that are there, but it's not like
		
00:18:44 --> 00:19:07
			would a gym advertised at Dunkin Donuts? Sure, yes. Okay, why not? Why not? Yeah, local Planet
Fitness, 24 Hour Fitness? The they'll advertise the heck out of every fast food joint that there is.
Because those are the because half of those people are like, I shouldn't be eating. I should go to
the gym. Yes, right. Yeah. And so
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:35
			the 24 Hour Fitness does couldn't care less. In fact, they would be happy that these people stopped
going to Dunkin Donuts, and then transition to buying their chocolate protein powder, or their quest
cookies instead. You know, saying yeah, now, Dunkin Donuts, on the other hand, recognizes that
they're just so easily accessible. It doesn't matter if they lose a few customers here. There's a
whole bunch of other people that are ready to
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:42
			come in through their door. So they're like, whatever take good luck. It's like It's like shaitan
right?
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:59
			He's like, I'm gonna try them. He's got any anyone content and his belief is Yeah, so Dunkin Donuts,
a share plan and 24 Hour Fitness is is holding the good people. It's all good people got into virtue
right? When it comes. So in this guiding to virtue is not
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:46
			already isn't our utility of the course that people will read more on, that they'll dust the dust as
their grounds off. That's the that's the big picture. And final goal that you have for them after
having gone through this program. Yeah, right. But the utility is the specific thing that they'll
learn. Right? So when you go to a gym, right, and you get into a fitness program or strength
training program, they're like, look, we're gonna teach you the proper body mechanics to do a squat,
a deadlift, a pull up and a benchpress. Right. Now, what's the utility of being able to learn these
movements? Well, you'll be able to properly pick things up off the floor, lift things up as you need
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:56
			it, be able to pull yourself and pull other things without ever injuring yourself. And generally,
you'll be stronger. So if you're older and you have kids or grandkids, like you'll be able to keep
up If not,
		
00:20:57 --> 00:21:38
			get them to keep up with you. So like that, right? There is a what's in it for them. So when they
acquire the skills, the what the utility of them answers, what's in it for them to acquire this?
Okay, so if they were to and we were discussing, I guess I'll rephrase the question. Question number
one is, what's the specific skill that they will acquire in this class? And then the follow up is,
what is the spill over effect and utility of that skill, or the benefits of that skill in other
aspects of their life? So what they'll pick up is the ability we said right off the bat to
		
00:21:39 --> 00:22:21
			just kind of repeat the question, so that way, I could, if there's some kind of like Miss flow, I
could kind of edit that together. So you're asking, what's the utility? What am I going to take away
from this course? And how can I use that skill, those that talent in other facets of my life. So
very straightforward, you're going to first start out with three major components of recitation,
what you're going to walk away with is the confidence to read or on more frequently, and well, we
would like to say is, you'll be able to complete a page of recitation 50% quicker by the time you're
done. But what's more important is once you learn to read Quran, recite in front of people, we
		
00:22:21 --> 00:22:38
			believe, not only will you have a better relationship with the law, but when it comes to public
speaking, when it comes to your interaction with your breath, work, the importance of breathing, we
believe that you will be a calmer, more collected person, and as a result, have more time to recite
Quran.
		
00:22:39 --> 00:23:17
			So let's simplify that. Right? Let's make that short in the sense that look, what you're gonna get
out of this course, generally speaking, is that you'll be able to recite and connect better with the
words of Allah, you will be able to breathe better and have more confidence. Yep. How does that?
What does that look like when applied into your own life? Then paint a picture in the area of like,
how's it gonna affect you personally, and your relationships, on the job, and so on. So we said the
two things was connection with God. And so being able to recite the book better, right? And thus
speaking of the Quran, and connecting with the words of ALLAH, like, generally, that's it, right?
		
00:23:17 --> 00:23:56
			Connecting with the Quran, in the words of ALLAH, having a being able to, and I think part of when
you say, being able to breathe, he's like, the thing that almost nobody ever teaches you. And that
you're always and maybe this is where your story could start, right? Like, if I guess if I were in
your position, trying to sell this course, on commission, I sold this course and I got, you know,
extra cash for it. I opened up with my own personal story of not knowing how to stop, okay, right?
Well, and then I'd be like, and that would just give me anxiety, right. And I would continue to
practice because I got my mom over my shoulder. But like, I didn't want to, in fact, I would avoid
		
00:23:56 --> 00:24:35
			trying to recite in other group settings, because it's like, I feel like I have to go through the
entire three, four line verse. And then like a fumble, and that's going to be embarrassing, until I
realize you like, it's like the revelation, whereas like, you don't have to eat all your food in one
city. Right? Yeah, your packet to go. Right? It's like, same thing, you don't have to, you don't
have to, like, breathe out the entire verse in one breath at the same time. Like, you could stop the
you could stop every word, just so you can breathe, right? And so that's one of the things I didn't
realize. And I realized that like, and that's how, like, hey, now, it's like, in this in this
		
00:24:35 --> 00:24:59
			breathing element, is translates to the digital media factor. Right? It's like, we are so hung up on
productivity and trying to multitask. It's like when you're multitasking, you're not doing more
work. You're just doing more things less effectively. Right? And so, the like the whole breathing
factor and the focus, it just taught me focus
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:45
			And it taught me how to, like, do one thing at a time and then do it well. And then I will lead into
like the story of memorize, I kill. And that's how I was able to edit an entire dress in a week.
Right? Again, that does me presenting it. So I'm just thinking like, if there's something that if
you can make that bit yours, and then just kind of lead into the, like, what you're going to get and
the utility of that bill, when people ask me, What's the utility? What am I going to take away from
this two major things come to mind? Number one, and it goes without saying this, we expect to have a
better relationship with our Lord, when we read Quran, that connection with our Creator and the
		
00:25:45 --> 00:26:13
			conversation that he started with us, you are able to receive from God and then conversate back with
him, and that we all know. But the second thing below if I could share a more personal story, I
started out memorization 13 years old at a boarding school, I loved the idea of memorization, but I
suffered from asthma, the son of the pediatrician growing up in the hyper allogenic world. So I was
asthma,
		
00:26:14 --> 00:26:29
			sinus issues. And a big issue was, as you had said, once you thought it's hard for you to stop and
your recitation, I couldn't I would be reciting and, and just in the middle, that asthma attack
starts and then you're,
		
00:26:30 --> 00:27:17
			you know, it's hard to even explain to a teacher as you're going through. So one of the main things,
whether it was asthma, anxiety, feeling overwhelmed and panicking, or moments of depression that my
friends were memorizing quicker than me. The second takeaway from unleashing your recitation, is the
fact that you'll have control over your breath. Let's rewind the cassette breathwork is that one
topic that if I asked you, what did Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam do in the cave for those 10
years when he went back and forth a lot of Hinault you're gonna say, meditate maraca balm, or half a
DA and a bunch of fancy words. But you're gonna have to go ahead and dwindle that down to he didn't
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:34
			lean against a wall. He didn't have any other words, and he conquered his breath. So the second
thing below is the breath work that we not only introduced to you the science, the exercises, but
allow you to take that breath work into moments of anxiety, places where you don't feel confident.
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:39
			Just calm down, and I can say this as my mom being my pediatrician.
		
00:27:40 --> 00:28:19
			I said, Mom, how did my asthma just go away? It was aggressive nebulizer that's the machine twice a
day inhaler throughout the day prednisone that steroid shots. I said, How did it go away? And she
said with some, she literally said, she goes, show me how you would read. And then I started reading
naturally because No, no, sit in the corner and do that thing you did in high school. And I sat
down, took a deep breath in and I let it ride. And I recited and my mom was like, Do you see that
deep breath you're taking? How many of those do you think you take? I said, I don't know. I just do
it until like, until it's three, four hours at a time we were read for three hours in school. She
		
00:28:19 --> 00:28:33
			said we sound that's where your asthma when you're at and this a pediatrician sharing with me
clearly was some I see that you used to wheeze and you couldn't get through. But you would take
these deep breaths underneath the spasm.
		
00:28:35 --> 00:29:01
			It will be law he meaner shade ly shaytaan your ROI de mi Bismillahi Rahmani Raheem. And when you're
letting out so much power, the spasm is not happening. You're opening the faucet wide and letting it
fly. And so that to me, the breath work and the fact that no one's has introduced this to an average
student. Two things a connection with God and the introduction to breathwork.
		
00:29:02 --> 00:29:53
			Okay, cool. So now and just keep repeating the question as we go into it. So and just fill in fact,
this one's not even a question. It's a continuation of the sentence, the big picture and the final
goal that I have for you is.dot.so The big picture. The final goal, if you will, the the credits
right before we're going to close out is that you a have the ability to recognize what the right
sound is. I think it's hard enough to say Oh, I'm going to am I going to be perfect? No friend,
you'll be able to smell the coffee and say, Oh, grounded Oh, roasted, you'll be able to tell what
the correct sound is a number two, we I and our entire team wants you to be able to read a page at
		
00:29:53 --> 00:29:59
			the beginning of the course. So just give yourself a time trial. We believe that with the proper
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:43
			Let's not sell this, I believe you'll be able to read the page 50%, faster, short, short and sweet.
And I know that's, that's what you're looking for no sales, I believe you time yourself at the
beginning it say it takes you about an hour, I believe that you'll read a page in half an hour, if
you can read in half an hour, I believe in 15 minutes, and Oh, my 15 minute gang, I believe you'll
cut that in half as well. So you'll be walking away with a confidence to recite, and the ability
below to say, I like this activity. So I'm going to do it jujitsu going to the gym, working out
painting, nobody says it's time to to paint. You do it because you love it. And believe no one tells
		
00:30:43 --> 00:30:55
			you you have to go to work out. We love it. So we do it. I believe that you'll walk away from the
course picking up the Quran with confidence and saying, Hey, I've got a little free time. Let me go
ahead and scroll through my recitation.
		
00:30:57 --> 00:31:43
			Alright, so now we're going into the process I want to share, or rather answer the question, what
are you going to cover? And how specifically are we going to cover that? And keep in mind, the first
part the what is the content? And the how is the specifics in relation to the medium? That that that
we're going to share? Can you just phase me phrase me the question one more time how i So so what
are we going to cover? And how are we going to talk about it? Below everyone ask What am I going to
cover? And how are we going to get there in this virtual environment? So right off the bat, hear me
clear, we're going to know three specific concepts, the difference between all and the difference
		
00:31:43 --> 00:31:54
			between throat and not? And how long? Do I stretch it? Or do I not? How do I? So just just want to
kind of quick break.
		
00:31:57 --> 00:32:04
			Are you able to reframe what you just said, yeah, in a way that is more like a
		
00:32:06 --> 00:32:16
			in my language, I'll say it's a benefit headline. Okay. So part of it is like, you'll be able to
know the difference between on app versus
		
00:32:17 --> 00:32:33
			not just know the difference, but like, Have you ever heard as you're, as you're reciting? You said
something earlier, I can't remember the particular semantics of what you what you used. But you were
saying something along the lines of like,
		
00:32:34 --> 00:33:09
			in terms of the content, right, a lot when you shared this with people don't know your vernacular,
except that it has once it's explained people get it, right. Like I tell somebody awesome and happy
Americanized as weed, right? Like I tell, I talked to one of my jujitsu buddies who's Muslim, and he
was explained to me is like, because I was sharing with him with a project with memorize stuff in
the form of pollution. He's like, Yo, this is amazing. macroevolution like my Quran, recitation
sucks. I was beaten as a kid. And like, as a result, I just never got through it. And was like, What
do you mean, you Americanized it? I'm like, also like the rules of an evolution that like Kafeel
		
00:33:09 --> 00:33:54
			school, okay. And as it were, what do you mean? Like, you owe a that, like the note sounds? And he's
like, Y'all right now, like, Uncle Young Money, right? He's like, I don't have to explain what that
was. Right? The whole night and things like that. And he's like, and then just his eyes just lit up
open. And so have you ever thrown that dark? And it doesn't it? What if he said, I don't get it with
awesome and happy that happens? Or like, what, right? That's the thing, right? So people are like,
awesome, happy. But like when but when you say a law versus Lilla. Right, then like, that's my go to
explanation or awesome and happy. Right? The question is, do you know when to say legal versus law?
		
00:33:54 --> 00:33:55
			Do you ever say that?
		
00:33:57 --> 00:33:58
			It's never like?
		
00:33:59 --> 00:34:01
			Yeah, so that's a lot of people.
		
00:34:03 --> 00:34:16
			Like they don't but what do you to explain to them is the same problem in the Arabic right, in the
actual traditional teaching is like that's even harder. Like now you have to learn how to say those
didn't whatever you saw,
		
00:34:17 --> 00:34:46
			or below in that rule of the Lamb. You're supposed to learn lamb mutia that fee laughs little jalala
The Lamb w in the word and you can't say the word Allah They say love rule jalala. So it's so much
terminology to be like, you're talking about your llama Lena learning the phrase in a different
language that you don't understand. For the encoding of the rules. It becomes like a spell
incantation. So when Guardium Leviosa
		
00:34:47 --> 00:34:59
			so could could we say this? Then could we say, Bill a lot of people ask what we're going to teach
and how. And I always bring people's attention to have you ever heard Alhamdulillah here on Bill
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:20
			All I mean, and thought, I know there's something wrong with that, but I don't know what. And so
when I introduced you our first concept, is it all or ah, then you know it's a law and Lilla? We'll
just find out when, what do you think about that?
		
00:35:21 --> 00:36:13
			It keep going just just like that. So that's your AP Stats, your first component, you saw that. Now
the second thing you're going to cover is immediately applicable, because most of us, have you ever
heard. ma na, N Who ma Lu Ma, casa, rewind that and just play it one more time? What am I doing?
That's audible to your ears. I'm speaking from my mouth. And I have a habit to speak from my throat
and my gut. And that's why when you're hearing me now it's dynamic. It's full. And so there are
specific sounds that you hear coming from the throat. IE, Oh, ha, I have law. That's from my throat.
But when I say ba, da Jeem lamb calf, that's not in my throat. So is it in the throat? Or is it not?
		
00:36:13 --> 00:37:10
			Second concept? Third thing right? Before we go out? You've heard it all you've heard one out or
lean? And you're not sure if it's six, or it's two. But the real question is not whether it's two,
four or six. The question is, do I stretch it? Or do I not? Is it my lucky omitting or my leaky? E?
So do I stretch it or do I not. And the real thing that you're gonna find here is it's not about how
long I'm stretching II II. It's rather where the stretches coming from. Ba da da da. So knowing
whether it's throat or not, is going to change the game and knowing how long to stretch it is going
to change your life. Let's give you a little token to take away. Say the phrase, cat feels cool.
		
00:37:10 --> 00:37:28
			Okay. Cat feels cool. Okay, I started with my mouth. Now recite it. Cat feels cool. Oh, Kay. And now
you've walked away with the three principles that will change your recitation and unleash your
recitation.
		
00:37:29 --> 00:37:46
			Now, are you going to be covering hold as well? So stretch versus hold, like an NDA? We won't cover
it. But as a rule in the notes, but it's something that I say to the students. Hey, guys, am I
stretching this sound journal?
		
00:37:48 --> 00:37:51
			Or am I holding the sound? And?
		
00:37:53 --> 00:38:21
			And that just it gets get mentioned in that? And then when we go to practice the sewers again, I
might say, is it laffy Qureshi or li e? Is it connecting and holding? Or is it separate sounds? So
that is in the class? Yes, yes. And I was thinking, it's not just stretch, but do stretch or not? Or
do you hold enough? Do you stretch or not? And if I'm not stretching, am I holding?
		
00:38:22 --> 00:38:23
			Okay?
		
00:38:25 --> 00:38:36
			Is it fair in the way that you teach and what you teach, to bundle the hold with the stretch? To end
this call it stretch?
		
00:38:37 --> 00:39:08
			For for this weekend? Absolutely. That's why I'm not putting it into the description. If it has to
be held or stretched, or elongated in any pressure. It's going to be on your do I stretch it or not?
Okay, okay. Yeah, cuz I was just thinking just just for the future of simplification, this is like,
like, like you're stretching, but isn't an open stretches that are close stretched. That's a that's
a that's a way that we could describe it. Yeah. Okay. Now, and now.
		
00:39:09 --> 00:39:12
			How are you going to cover it's specific to that exactly.
		
00:39:13 --> 00:40:00
			Most people now are not interested in my cat feels cool or awesome or happy because they have a
feeling of what is going to be covered the aspect of how, if you would involve yourself for a
moment, just imagine three stations, a we are talking to each other, and communicating and
receiving. And we're gonna call this our recitation station, where you your camera's open ICU, and I
can see all of us audience members, and we're reciting face to face. This is good, but what would be
better is if at a second station at another activity, you could watch the entire Surah from a blank
page being constructed from the ground up. So below as I begin writing and transforming the blank
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:46
			canvas into the letters, the dots. Where does the sea go? Where does the art EU for Surah
specifically, we'll be covering, you probably know, we're going to be bringing them to life in a way
that's constructing right in front of you think of a time lapse right in front of you. station two,
takes your recitation, and now makes it visual, you can see it. But now station three, in station
three, we're taking a moment to open up the the camera rather and our mics and have live
interventions, most of you might think so does everyone get a chance to read, I believe everyone
will get a chance to read but bear with me. In the third station, one person will have read and I'm
		
00:40:46 --> 00:41:36
			telling you right now 30 other people who will drop an ad in the chat box to say, Hey, I'm within
the 80th percentile of that person. One person reading statistically always fans out. Even the
person at the bottom of the totem pole in terms of progress is going to start reciting. And I'll say
how many people were felt close to that the ad is light up, and you will see a rippling effect below
will recite. I will correct below, let's say below below, here, and near Bismillahi Rahmani Raheem.
And now when below to recites or Abdullah recites, don't you think he's going to pick up on the here
and near? Don't you think that that rippling effect as it goes out? Now, when five people have read,
		
00:41:37 --> 00:41:59
			if each one represents 25 people, you know where I'm going with this. So as the third station, which
I call the intervention station, where most people unfortunately zoned out, oh, it's not me, I'm not
reading this third station. If we've taught you the culture correctly, by the time we're meeting,
you will unleash your recitation by sitting and
		
00:42:01 --> 00:42:10
			going through the journey with someone else, being patient as someone else gets through their
hurdles, and then they'll be joining you to get through yours. That's our how.
		
00:42:12 --> 00:42:22
			Okay, so now let's get into the objective. The first part of the objective is, at the end of this
seminar, you're going to be able to demonstrate what
		
00:42:24 --> 00:42:59
			all of us want to know, at the end of this experience. However, you get there at the end of
experience, what can I go home with? One Oh, so So because it wasn't mentioned in the process, or
the method? just mentioned it now. So at the end of this eight hour live stream experience, what
will you be able to demonstrate? A lot of us want to know, at the end of an eight hour live
experience over two days, what am I going to take away from it? What can I say? Am I going to leave?
So just
		
00:43:00 --> 00:43:05
			so when you say eight hours, and then two days, people might be thinking to eight hour days?
		
00:43:06 --> 00:43:13
			So just be like, so over this eight hour experience? Four hours on one day for the second day? What
are you going to be able to demonstrate?
		
00:43:14 --> 00:44:01
			Over these two days, eight hours, four hours a day? What will I be able to do? What can I
demonstrate? Once I've completed this experience, and I say unequivocally, you will number one hold
in your hand and heart confidence. I know what the correct sound is. I'm only tuning mine. But let's
make something tangible. I believe certainly, if you're deciding to make the choice to unleash your
recitation, record your reading of one page right now if it takes an hour, it takes an hour, who's
who is losing storage space, record the hour record however long it takes, and I believe you're
demonstrating the activity you take away, you will cut your recitation time 50% If you utilize our
		
00:44:01 --> 00:44:16
			techniques, and the methodology of sitting down and connecting with the words, so right away below,
I say our objective to cut your recitation time in half not so you can read Quran quicker, so that
you can read Quran more.
		
00:44:17 --> 00:44:25
			Okay, so now it's kind of roll into what you require of them, like what's expected of the student
for everything from like the environment participation,
		
00:44:27 --> 00:44:59
			the homework that they will have between before and after these classes. So kind of go with so in
order to attain the the ability to recite with more confidence, have the breathing ability. And what
was the third factor? Those were the two main things that we did. It was connecting with God and
breathing or reading and 50% Reading 50%. Okay, so in order to be able to make your recitation more
proficient
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:31
			So that way, so in order to achieve a 50%, more proficient reading rate of your page, to have more
confidence and better breathing ability, or rather, I want to, I want to close with confidence. So
in order to achieve a more proficient reading rate, have a page to breathe better, and ultimately
have more confidence in everything that you do. What do you need to actually do in the class to
achieve this, right? And then you go into, here's what's required of you, as a student.
		
00:45:35 --> 00:46:23
			In order to raise your proficiency to be able to read 50% faster in order to dominate or rather,
accept your breath work. And in order to have that confidence that you need, what are the things
that I am going to ask from you? Let's break this down level by level. Let's start with the most
important which is the intention? Why are you doing this? And what do you want out of it? I'm going
to leave that on you. Number two, it is all about environment. Now I'm going to start from the
extreme you you dial it into an ideal, can you get an office space, a rented a hotel room? Can you
get a dedicated a closet a room? Can you tell your family in advance, I am doing something that's
		
00:46:23 --> 00:47:15
			going to change my life forever, I'm acquiring a new life skill. Once you have established that you
have told your family this is important. I want you to believe in the environment. A backdrop could
be as simple as a sheet, ring lights from your Alibaba, Amazon or any type of delivery service are
going to be within 18 to $20. Throw up some lights and another $11 for a phone holder, a camera, a
phone stand. And that is the first here intention environment is that environment clean Have you set
up the notebooks the pencils are you do have the charger a small water bottle Have you created the
environment to win? Let's drop down one more. The week before our extravaganza our experience. Our
		
00:47:15 --> 00:48:03
			team is going to send you a series of videos. The videos are not going to teach you as much they're
all about mindset, are you going to allow yourself to succeed. And so tier three, the week before
the seminar the week before our experience, I'd like you to get mentally prepped and to do the
exercises via the video. Now it's the day of the class I need you dialed in brothers sisters, I have
a phone too. I take online classes too. I know what it means to be scrolling through your phone.
Yeah, I can hear you, I hear you brother. And you get that face. You see that face, I hear you. And
that is where the absorption shuts off. So you're making a decision, telling folks posting it on
		
00:48:03 --> 00:48:49
			your away messages for all of your mess, all of the apps that you use. I am busy I'm changing my
life. I am learning to read Koran, that is the day that the the extravaganza begins. And now I would
like you This is separate. I'm putting it on five, begin recording yourself daily. But a throw a
camera I don't like the way I sound well then fix your voice honey. If you feel like you complain
too much, then I want you to pull the the recitation out of your nose number five, which is record
yourself. Now before we go any further, I want you to know that once the seminar begins, you do not
have to worry about anything. We're going to be there talking to you please stand up, please
		
00:48:49 --> 00:49:32
			stretch, let's get the body moving. We'll be there to keep you going. But on that last day of the
seminar, I want you to make intention now. How can I succeed if you did all the things I told you,
you'll still fail. If you don't keep up with the follow up work. We have one of the best series of
follow up that I've ever made. And it's specifically designed not to take you on long journeys of
Surahs and not to give you anecdotal, hey, this is really cool. It is going to tell you exactly word
by word sound by sound, what you need to do. And that's what we're calling the follow up. Last but
not least, if you really want to make a commitment, this is greater than everything. Write yourself
		
00:49:32 --> 00:49:33
			a letter today.
		
00:49:34 --> 00:49:59
			Speak to the future you. I always wanted this today. I'm going to get it when you read this letter.
Just remind yourself that we've always wanted this and now we're going to get it that to me is the
way you will succeed without giving up is that every day you're making one step towards completing
one task and that could be the week before how am I preparing? That could be
		
00:50:00 --> 00:50:42
			Setting up your environment. Please believe ordering a backdrop from our purchasing it is a part of
your success. And that to me is the series of videos. It's you allowing yourself to win, not not
just oh, I read, that's why I won. No, I shifted all the things in my life to direct towards. Thank
you Allah for letting me when I put all my energy that there's no way, there's no way I could lose.
That's what I need from you is an absolute burn all your bridges, burn all your boats, excuse me
keep your bridges, burn all your boats and come to a seminar where you are going to make a decision
that I am in charge of my recitation future.
		
00:50:44 --> 00:51:00
			Okay, and now, if they're asking, so degree of accomplishment and the benchmark in which they can
measure themselves by, right, so the degree of accomplishment is, and we've kind of mentioned this,
it's okay to mention it again, multiple times.
		
00:51:01 --> 00:51:25
			So far, like, what oh, this is where you need to also the requirement factor. And last but not
least, if you are here, just understand that one of the prerequisites required, that's the benefit
from this class is that you need to know, at least on a basic level, how to read the Arabic within
Quran, okay. And then and then go into degree of accomplishment.
		
00:51:27 --> 00:52:13
			Now, before we go any further, we need to establish some requirements. And we need to be clear about
this and not sugarcoat it, because it will not be effective if you are not prepared. Number one, and
let's not sugarcoat this, if you are able to read the Quran, and I'm going to try with you to define
this at a, if you're able to identify a, what's the first letter and last letter of a word, cat, I
know you could probably read like a strings on a bead. Can you read hola ICA and know that the first
letters and other fun last letters of guff? Ooh, la Iike. Isla? I don't, I won't ask you why there's
a blank yard there. But do you know that it's an iron lamb and a blank? Yeah. So to be very clear,
		
00:52:13 --> 00:52:59
			knowing the first and last letter of every word. Number two, you are able to and this is not just
reading proficiency, this has something to do with your level of anxiety and your ability to calm
yourself, I need you to be able to stop and say I need help on this word. Or I can slow down and
read it. Most of you believe even by us saying you're gonna read 50% faster. Your automatic response
is, I gotta read faster, he'll be happy if I read faster. So number one, you can identify beginning
and end of a word. Number two, you're able to stop. When you don't know a word and pause on it.
We're never going to ask you to read fast. For example, in the in the interventions when we're doing
		
00:52:59 --> 00:53:13
			live readings. If you freeze up, you have to be able to say, Can I get a little bit of help on this?
The now let's go to the negative if you struggle in letter recognition. Whoo la
		
00:53:15 --> 00:54:03
			Iike. Hola. Hola. And then you're guessing you're new. I'm sure the reader who reads like that knows
exactly what I'm talking about. Friends. I was nine years old wants to I know how to fill in the
empty spaces. Hula, hula hula you got you got Hola Hola. Hola. I did that a lot. What am I asking
from us? Tier one folks rather requirement one, folks, if I can't read or on look to Green
Revolution, look to other service providers out there who can help you read. And those of you who
are saying haha, I can read I can read. You better be polishing from this moment. When you hear my
voice and your heart says Yo, I want to do this yo, pick up a Quran go to Quran WB w.com quran.com
		
00:54:03 --> 00:54:48
			start getting touching the Quran feeling it interacting with it. And that will put you on our path
to success. Unfortunately, below, a lot of folks think they know how to read. And then you want to
want to like everything you said so far. It's good. And it's very likely I'll use it. What I want to
kind of I want you to make it more pointed though. Got it? Right. Right. Like it's like it's like
straightforward. Like, look, guys, one of the requirements for this class, is that you need to be
able to know how to read the Arabic. It doesn't have to be perfect. In fact, it can be totally
broken. But no, I don't want it to be broken. I that's this whole like, okay, no, because when I say
		
00:54:48 --> 00:54:59
			totally broken, okay, okay, maybe maybe this is something that you can demonstrate. You are kind of
leaning into it, right. Yeah. And this is how I mean by degree because this is why it's great and
it's allowing you to
		
00:55:00 --> 00:55:39
			roll right into the degree of accomplishment. Yeah. Okay. What if you could demonstrate maybe a
verse, right? What is the lowest acceptable showcase of them being able to recite something so if
you were to pick up something like our Ala Moana, cell Berra, and to what Lou would you have come if
they can read like I don't know what the lowest bare minimum standard that's acceptable for this
class like you gotta I want you to demonstrate you need to be able to do this by looking you got it
three two
		
00:55:41 --> 00:55:44
			it's a previous one is still good but I'm gonna give it a
		
00:55:45 --> 00:56:26
			whirl but because I want to play around with this I'm gonna make it like a master super cut okay
right with my questioning and dialogue for HQ to look at okay, right and then from there, they're
going to come back to me with time codes, be like yo, we like the segment we like to segment and
then I we stitch together different pieces in different versions. You got it. A lot of times people
are asking the requirements, and we have to be straightforward. If you cannot read Quran I'm about
to define what that means. Then this seminar is not for you. Let's take an idea from the Quran. That
is one line long the iron reads our Allah Allah Munna and Allahu Allah MUMA. You see Runa wama. You
		
00:56:26 --> 00:57:17
			are Linoone. So a little bit more complicated, except there's not a lot of connections. I would like
to start out by saying, if so you'll just pause. And just for reference for me when I put it on
screen, I'll put it I'll give it to you. It's like 11 is that 11 Page of Surah Baqarah it's the top
of the page 1111 Page so a book right could be like a 91 I'll pull it up for you. Okay, but I know I
know this one you can just say oh, because Because Because now that I know how to do the highlighted
text thing on screen. I figured this would be awesome that so there's a verse in Surah buckler, I
think it's the 11th page. Ah wha LA? ya la Munna and no, wha Ha, yah Lambo, ma you SEER Runa were ma
		
00:57:18 --> 00:58:19
			your Linoone This is the ability not to recite, but to read the Quran. Do you feel like you would be
able to say, wha la Our Allah? And then look at the next word. Yeah, Allah Munna ya allah Munna and
waha yah Lemuel yah ain't lamb and me. Yeah, Allah Ma Ma. This is the hardest word you sear Runa
this might be tough to growl the raw I'll help you on that. But can us find out that you see Runa
has a W you hold the sound? You see Runa wama you are Linoone barebones everyone, our Allah Ya Allah
Munna and Allah, Ya Allah Moo, Ma, you see Runa were Ma, your Linoone that is what I would expect
from you. Those of you saying, I don't know if I could do that you hear my voice. Now you want to
		
00:58:19 --> 00:58:23
			come to the seminar, start practicing now. That is the bare bones what you need to read.
		
00:58:24 --> 00:58:26
			Now, I will say if you can kind of
		
00:58:28 --> 00:58:48
			maybe an additional take of like, when you did it, you broke it down like an instructor. Right? Like
if you were teaching the verse. Now if you want to emulate or make an impression of somebody who
doesn't note that read, can read the Arabic but without proper Mahadesh. Right. Would
		
00:58:49 --> 00:59:03
			would that be acceptable to you for somebody to enroll in this? Thank you. Yes, it would. Okay.
Yeah, so what? Okay, so give that example. Because what you did, like you talked over it's perfect.
Yeah, it's too perfect. And yeah, yeah. Okay.
		
00:59:06 --> 00:59:59
			So what's my requirements? And I'm sure someone's saying what's the bare minimum to get in? This
versus or above Baqarah? I believe it will pop up for you. 11 to page if you can read our Allah Ya
Allah Munna and Allah Ha, Ma. You see Runa wama your Linoone Welcome to unleashing your recitation
friends. Yes, that would be enough for me. If you could read our wily Yala, Munna and Allah Ya Allah
mu ma you see Runa Rama yo Linoone still worked for me. You can recognize letters off a page. Let's
go a little bit to the African continent. If anyone says Allah Allah Ya Allah Munna and Allah Ya
Allah Moo MA You see Runa
		
01:00:00 --> 01:00:15
			Well Matt, you aren't even on you can tell it's a little off. Come on down. As long as your tires
are spinning forward, I believe that we'll be able to get from where you are to way beyond here. Can
you do the American
		
01:00:16 --> 01:01:05
			and even if you recite our lie ya allah Munna and Allah, Ya Allah mu my UC Runa Wilma Yoli noon,
which I have heard it's a very upbeat it's someone speaking and someone who speaks English there's a
very good chance Oh Allah Ya Allah Munna and Allah Ya Allah MA MA You see Runa Wilma, your Linoone
and I've heard someone read that fast like that. Come on down partner. You can park your horses up
in the front, come on down, I believe anyone and if you want to go far east, it could be the
complete from India from Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, you could go oh Allah Ya Allah Munna and
Allah, Ya Allah MUMA UC Runa Wilma, Yo, listen, I believe you could go so much further just by
		
01:01:05 --> 01:01:09
			utilizing just by coming into the door and saying, hey, I can read, but not that well.
		
01:01:11 --> 01:01:37
			So now what you can go right from there is like if this is now this is the bare minimum to get in if
you'd be able to read in this level, maybe anywhere in the Quran. Now the question is, where can you
expect to grow to from here? Right? And got it? Yeah, I can you say that word that you call it a
levels? Was it levels of expectation a degree of accomplish on three and this benchmark from which
you measure yourself?
		
01:01:39 --> 01:02:28
			So there has to be a tiered system here. Not everyone is going to be at the same exact level. So the
levels of accomplishment that the tiers if you will, we describe the first person they're able to
read, but without any parameters, they're able to identify the words and that's it. That person we
believe, is going to take their recitation breathing and the fluid or the flow of their recitation
will smoothen out. But what if someone came in our Allah Ya Allah Munna unknown what Anila. Meola,
mu ma, you said Runa, wah Ma, your Linoone they're still pretty good. We believe the second tiered
person who knows how to read and let's say they were introduced to the idea of pronunciation, that
		
01:02:28 --> 01:03:14
			person we believe, is going to leave with a grounded sense of I know where the sounds come from. The
first tier person is going to smooth out the edges. But the second tier will say, Oh, it's a throat
based letter. It's a lip laced, lip based letter. But now what if you came in and said No, with some
I know we're all the letters, lip, lip letters, throat letters, nose letters, middle of the mouth
back of the back of the tongue. I know these place up pronounciation. Let's call you a tear three.
And I'm happy for you hotshot It is great to be living at this level. For you. It is what we call
rhythm we would like to place for you and simultaneously the level the the entry level students are
		
01:03:14 --> 01:04:05
			going to enjoy this as well. But you'll pick up on slid off on levena and Dolly hidden the sukoon
letters and I'll leave you at that the letters that will bring you peace. And finally when my pro
reciters. My prosumers are coming in saying while I teach a class I want to see how I can improve. I
recite I lead tarawih I'm happy to come on down professional reciter because this is your place not
only to improve your teaching techniques, but take your recitation by being exposed to top to your
recitation, take it to the next level. What's that executable, we believe that our top tier students
will leave reciting as they've never recited before, and without having to give away too much. We're
		
01:04:05 --> 01:04:24
			going to fill in the gap between the sound of letters. Everyone else is focused on individual
sounds. You prosumers are going to be focused on the sounds between letters. That is what we can
assume that's what we can expect to accomplish and obliterate in unleashing your recitation.
		
01:04:26 --> 01:04:26
			Now,
		
01:04:28 --> 01:04:32
			everything that you did was excellent. Only thing is
		
01:04:34 --> 01:04:37
			Tell me. I mean, if you're if you're satisfied,
		
01:04:38 --> 01:05:00
			would would would it be better to do it with a verse that maybe people in the 30th Choose? Yeah. Not
necessarily that they know, right? Like there's the there's the verses that people know and there's
the false confidence that comes from that. Yeah. And then and then there's the verses like you
		
01:05:00 --> 01:05:10
			You get that same person in the 30 as Jews and you take them to like, sort of begging that perhaps
Yeah. Right. And then they're like, hold on. That's a lot. That's a lot.
		
01:05:12 --> 01:05:12
			You know?
		
01:05:14 --> 01:05:23
			It's, yeah, it would literally be the same thing. Let's do let's do. Yes, sir. Another, let's do sir
Inaba. You're okay, that's a nice 132.
		
01:05:25 --> 01:05:38
			So we want to want to know when we want to know, like, what level of recitation do I need to be at?
There's no way to describe that besides, or just just replace recitation with reading.
		
01:05:42 --> 01:06:34
			So everything was fine. Just what level of reading ability? Got it? Do I need to be? Two? Two got it
be accepted through those two? What level of reading ability do I need? That's what most of us are
wondering, I want to come to this experience. I want to have an amazing time, what level of reading
and the interesting part is, if I tried to describe it to you, it'd be like describing my dinner. It
was really good. It was amazing. It's hard to be able to explain, except if I took a verse Surah 78
has 40 versus we're going to 37. If I said, yo uma yaku more rule who al Maleh. Eager to slough,
okay, if you could come in saying your Maya guru Maru, who will Mullah eager to Safar. Welcome in.
		
01:06:34 --> 01:07:23
			That's fantastic if you can recognize the words, but there's no that you read per se. You can read?
Let's polish that up. What if you're in a place where you say, your ma your Goomer Ruffo. And that
if you're noticing the ar e or flat, your ma your kumerow? Not who but you find yourself in that
halfway point. It's called Reading module. No worries, come on down. If you read with your mouth
kind of constantly going sideways, those of you who do you'll get it. Yo Ma Yeah. Kumar Roho. Well
Mullah eager to and you keep opening your mouth sideways. This is going to be a great place to come
because we'll work on it together. But what if you don't relate with any of these voices, and you
		
01:07:23 --> 01:07:34
			really like Yo Ma, you're Coomer Rue who was Mullah, he could do suffer. I have heard recitation
like that. And more than welcome. If you are
		
01:07:35 --> 01:08:06
			a local descent here in the United States, I know people from around the world, if you are reading
from a dialect that isn't out up or isn't from the Far East, you are going to have that there's a
poll, it takes a little while to get through the snow, you're dragging your feet, worry not you will
be able to come here. So in short friends, if you feel like you can read that is more than enough
for us to buff out some of the scratches.
		
01:08:07 --> 01:08:11
			Okay, so now let's go into
		
01:08:13 --> 01:08:19
			process justification. Where's this info? Three fraud, I got this one. Why the sources, you got
this.
		
01:08:21 --> 01:09:12
			It's been a gift of my lord that I've been utilizing my life and been used to teach for more than 20
years now. I took a six month seminar that turned into a three month seminar that turned into a 21
day program 21 Day program around the world 20,000 plus students studied the technical terminology
studied without terminology. And through that decade, first decade, I acquired my first ijazah, then
my second and then specialized in the 10 key lot during this time, 10 years to acquire my speciality
and 10 more years teaching on top of that, I've seen that there are three main components that
people need for their recitation. The proof, if you will, is me teaching and giving folks the
		
01:09:12 --> 01:09:51
			confidence to say you don't have to go and study for 10 years after teaching 20,000 students and
teaching for over 20 years. Here are the main three things that I've come to. So the proof is in the
pudding. Somebody specializes and gets a doctorate and then they come down and they say, Hey, I
spent 10 years here are the three most important things. Once you validated all of their past work,
I definitely want to know what those three things are. So the proof is in the pudding friends. The
proof is in the pudding in the idea that this is tried and tested. And these are the three things
that I believe everyone needs to know.
		
01:09:54 --> 01:09:59
			I feel like you were rolling. I missed that part. But I'm assuming you rolled into the proof of
ability
		
01:10:00 --> 01:10:46
			In terms of answering, how do I know what you're teaching actually works? No. Okay. I just proved
personality. So, okay, when a lot of folks want to know, but will this work for me? And we're all
like convinced internally? No, no, I'm different. I'm so bad that nobody could fix me. And we have
that mentality kind of looming over our head. The reason this works, friends, is statistics, its
numbers, people, 20 years sounds like a great, a great period of time and 20,000 people sounds like
a big number, too. But this works, because it appeals across cultures, it appeals across languages,
people who don't speak English, have taken and learn Quran and the jury through this through this
		
01:10:46 --> 01:11:00
			format and said, I can't communicate this to you in our language, but I can hear you and I
understand what you're saying. So the proof is there in those who have completed and the proof is
there in the students that are presently taking the Quran revolution system.
		
01:11:01 --> 01:11:05
			That was horrible. I go, there was no proof. And I was just I was I was a
		
01:11:08 --> 01:11:37
			caveman. Ultimately, the whole idea behind the answer to this question is to literally build
confidence in the prospects mind that hey, because it's, it's less about, like, I don't know, if you
want to mention a convolution system. Maybe you don't? Yeah, three, two, because that was that was
the thing. Like, I felt like you were on a, you're on a decent roll. But then you mentioned, how do
we know it works, though? What is my answer? How do I know it works?
		
01:11:38 --> 01:11:47
			Because you've taught a version of this in multiple media. Right? Right. So you've you've done
		
01:11:48 --> 01:12:29
			just to kind of like think think out loud, right? You did the 16 hour version with Bina then you did
the Quran revolution system with specifics of this in recorded media as well as Quran reading
circles as well as your what how often do we do a new launch like a free forum? We do three times a
year, three times a year. Yeah. So and each one of these launches, you're also interacting,
engaging. It's just the fact that value continues to be given to the point where people see their
transformation in a short period, then they come into a system to carry that forward over the course
of like four months. But the fact and this is where you can kind of mentioned it like but sometimes
		
01:12:29 --> 01:13:11
			before you can even consider that you need that intensive transformation experience. That isn't like
an hour, that isn't three hours, but something that you could do over the span of days. Through
immersion, right. Yeah, got it. Right. Immersion works. And like not only does immersion work, like
it's something that's used across industries, platforms, media, and so it's a methodology that is
definitely effective. And we're doing it for Quran and you've done it for Quran in various stages is
just now being not distilled, but polished and refined for the live stream.
		
01:13:12 --> 01:13:20
			Grab that PhD metaphor before this one. It's in the one before this. It's it. I thought it was it
was solid. But here's
		
01:13:21 --> 01:14:04
			you one second. Yeah. Just give me that that word before it here. Got it. 321. How do I know this is
going to work for me. Let's rewind the cassette here, friends. When I taught this curriculum in a
six months, format, people succeeded. When I taught it as a 10 day format, people succeeded in lined
up to take it when I turned it into a 16 hour weekend seminar, people ate it up. And when the system
was brought online, and people took the four month semester with the online program that I teach
now, people found that they were able to digest that every walk of life. So the idea that it's been
honed, tested, and really
		
01:14:05 --> 01:14:19
			molded down. So all the fine imperfections are out all the extra information is gone. How do you
know it's going to work? Well, because it's been distilled, cleaned and purified over the last 20
years. And it's worked for all the folks thus far.
		
01:14:21 --> 01:15:00
			Okay, and now, we just want to do a quick recap and review. Go over, not in the same amount of
detail. But just briefly, the what you're going to cover, how are you going to cover it? The
objective and the sense of like that you're, you could just feed me that got these three, you can
feed me the word as soon as I'm done with this, like, I'll start with the recap. And then because by
the time you so let's start with process, briefly, what are you gonna cover and how are you gonna
cover it? What we'll be covering are the files. Now this is just like so just as
		
01:15:00 --> 01:15:05
			is a review in the time that we've covered because we've been recording for like, an hour, 48
minutes now.
		
01:15:06 --> 01:15:52
			So it's like, just can I just see? I just want to check? Did you can't see it right? Is it? Is it
overheating? I can? No, it's I don't see any symbol on it nothing Well, nothing. Bro got scared
scared of you like, it scares like Bill, How came you? Everyone behaved everyone behavior Hey 321
just as a recap what we will be covering the foundations, the five pillars of recitation, how are we
going to get through them through workstations creating an online environment where you're reciting
with me, you're writing the surah and finding it constructed, I'm writing it for you, where I'm
writing and constructing the surah for you. And we're having our live interventions where we're all
		
01:15:52 --> 01:15:58
			interacting together, and you're listening to other folks and they're listening to you as you are
improving.
		
01:15:59 --> 01:16:24
			And at the end of this whole programming experience, you'll be able to demonstrate that that that
and at the end of this program, you'll be able to demonstrate the ability to recycle or on we
believe 50% more efficiently. Your breath work will be a new part of your exercise routine and a
part of your life. And you will leave what I believe to be the most important with the confidence to
pick up the Quran just because you have time.
		
01:16:25 --> 01:17:12
			And what basically would be expected of you to be able to achieve this is and what's going to be
expected from you to achieve this is on a few levels. Number one, the intention number two, it's
about environment, not choosing to take an online class but building yourself a personal workspace
number three, the week before the seminar, engaging with your breath and the videos that we send you
for PrEP. Number four, I want you to test your background, click the link and join us so we can test
your audio video and see if you've got the right setup. Number five as you are in the live seminar.
Reach out ask for help interact with your fellow students play full tilt be present. After the
		
01:17:12 --> 01:17:50
			seminar is completed on the first day, make sure you go home and not chill. But I digest, breathe,
recite record yourself and supercharge everything you learned so that you can come in on the final
day of our seminar. And lastly, most importantly to me in order for you to improve your speed,
conquer your breath and leave with confidence. I know what you need, and you need it to it's the
follow up, you know, a great weekend seminar just like a concert, at the end of the day extravaganza
will just be that if I don't follow up with the information that's going to be available to me post
unleashing my recitation.
		
01:17:51 --> 01:18:38
			And ultimately, what the way that you'll be able to see yourself grow is x and you'll be able to
measure this through why ultimately, the way you will be able to see yourself grow is an internal
internal barometer. Do you feel like Hey, I feel like reading Quran? Do you feel a and this is tough
to measure? Do you feel secure? I'm asking you to just in download this idea right now. And when
you're in the seminar, or you're interacting with any of the information, do you feel secure? Now
how is this hour any of my accomplishments, measurable, and that's going to be by you recording
yourself right now or the day of the seminar and the day of the experience, record yourself.
		
01:18:38 --> 01:19:18
			Preferably do it now if you can hear my voice, just pause, pick up your phone, double click to voice
memo, read out of the bIllahi min ash shaytani regime, just read whatever comes out, the measure
ability will come the day you hold that up to your recitation on the at the last hour of the
seminar. Finally, you'll be able to measure distinctly your growth and achievement by knowing what
the right sound is. And I'm most of us are looking for someone to correct us. I won't leave you
reading perfect. I'll leave your ear in perfect pitch, being able to identify what a right sound is,
and what a wrong sound is.
		
01:19:19 --> 01:19:33
			And ultimately, what's in it for you is you'll be able to learn with all of this, you'll be
connected with the book of Allah more, there'll be breathing better, and you'll have a lot more
confidence. I look forward to you benefiting from this. I'll see you on the other side. So
		
01:19:35 --> 01:19:57
			can you give me that first sentence I got the rest. Yeah, so ultimately, in terms of what's in it
for you, is that you'll be able to recite and connect with the book of Allah. You'll be able to
breathe better and have more confidence. I get that first sentence you're taking too far. I checked
it out. I got the end part but I got Oh, okay. What's what's in it for me what's in it for you got
it, too.
		
01:19:59 --> 01:20:00
			And you want to know
		
01:20:00 --> 01:20:43
			What's in it for you? Well, the ability to connect with your Creator has been on your list. Every
time you raise your hands. Every time you hear something spiritual, you want to connect with your
Lord. There's your first plus point. But number two, the ability to finally understand breathwork
this ancient foreign foreign thing, and being able to apply it not only in your recitation, but
immediately throughout life, public speaking places of anxiety. But wouldn't that final component of
what am I leaving with? Oh, I, I took a weekend extravaganza. And I left with the confidence to
recite the book of Allah. It's been a pleasure sharing this information with you friends. You know,
		
01:20:43 --> 01:21:09
			the fun part. I've made these videos with Brother Bilaal in our team for years, and I've never been
so confident. So if I see you on the inside, you heard me you felt me and you know what I've been
about for the last two decades. Come join me so I can fast forward through that and get you right up
to reading right up to par. Come on Leisha recitation, and I will see you all on the other side as
Saddam was taken by the law
		
01:21:11 --> 01:21:12
			and cut
