Wisam Sharieff – Humblebrag- Can You Be Arrogant In Your Humility

			I've since childhood, I've always seen actors on sets being like, super chill. And in my mind, I was
like, how did they do that? But if we were always tense, like, oh, it's grown, and we were like,
super formal, I couldn't do it. I think it doesn't make sense to have that we couldn't go hours like
it, it would just like, okay,
		

			grounds open, don't talk, then you wouldn't be able to do it. Or we're not religious enough to do it
that way. Because, you know, some pious person is like, wait a minute, but that pious person
couldn't sit. They'd be too pious to sit here. It's like, the everyone knew. I bet you they're
people who recite a lot better than I do. But they're dealing with that inner or what about my
caliber, and this and that, I went through that phase, and I fell on this side of this fence.
Everyone was like, I don't want to show off. So I won't resign. I was like, I don't, but I'm gonna
resign. And I got over it. Yes, sometimes you do feel fool of yourself. But the 100 people who
		

			benefited from that, then you go ask for forgiveness, you find your own mistakes. So I don't know. I
feel like we're all afraid to be to feel the beginning of arrogance. I feel it. That's what makes us
real. Like, that's what makes us so amazing is that we can feel that way. So
		

			I know. But then I also feel like those people who don't try will never get humbled. So I think I'm
the greatest thing since sliced bread and I've been recited crazy for a year. December 20. Fajr was
the greatest Fajr have ever prayed. And I promise after I prayed Fajr bind imamo Davidson. I felt
like I couldn't read Quran. It was in its eye. It's posted on on YouTube. December 28 Fajr. Funnily,
I am clearly telling you in sound mine, I thought I didn't know how to read Quran after I paid for.
It was the most spectacular recitation. It's everything that I say. No, it was beyond that. No, I
promise I left. I was like, I don't know how to read Quran. But then that's how much I feel like
		

			Allen Iverson saying, on dribble a ball. That's how I felt like I was just
		

			gone. But I really, I don't go around telling for the coolness of his recitation. It was just if I
never thought I was all that. I never get body slammed. I would never give be able to. I would just
said oh, he's a great reciter know, his recitation made me feel like now you didn't even know how to
read Quran. i When you listen to it, you'll say Yeah, finally don't
		

			know not me. It was Sheikh hood. They fees son leading Fajr. And I my whole point was if I don't if
I'm not a little fool of myself, if caught. I was praying behind him. And I was law. Kanye West
Steve Jobs. If they weren't a little fool of themselves. Would we be where we are right now? No, I
don't think so. So am I justifying arrogance.
		

			I am willing to play with the line and say a stop for a while because at the end of it when you get
that close, you're like, none of this praise is coming to me. Kanye could say he wrote a rap. I
didn't write this. I just sound good reading it. Because he's it. It's to me. That's the logic. How
could I be arrogant? Oh, I had the best teachers for over 20 years. My parents financed me did.
Allah kept me in the lap of luxury my whole life. It's like, okay, like, this is what you're
supposed to do.
		

			But I don't know everyone who fought struggles with the arrogancy thing. There's always
		

			says the Hadith of the mustard seed. You know? Yes, there is. And I feel like people don't like to
hear it. I feel like there's some Hadith that you that are like life codes. And there's some of
these that are giving you parameters. I'll give you a real one. I shall Radi Allahu Taala on ha was
having a second meal. What was that meal? Oil in one dish vinegar in another dish and she dipped
into sauces piece of bread. The Prophet saw some Astra what extravagance is this
		

			so when I hear that hadith, I'm like, and like and
		

			you're giving me a proverb, not how you live your life daily. So right now I'm gonna go do 90
Whatever it is something and when I get to HUD have their b, c lu. And I feel like oh, I am not
going to consider that a mustard seed because I am great because Allah made me great. So I think,
look, shaytaan wasn't wrong at one. One point bliss was like, I made a fire. He's made a claim there
couldn't that's true. Those are true scientific facts. His problem was called an Ohio man, that I am
better
		

			or that my thought process is better than Allah stop. So, yeah, it's a discussion but for you from
teacher, go live on that side. Look, have someone tell you firstly, you shouldn't be so arrogant,
and then you will say, I'm going to work on it. Have that I've had the owner of grand weekly told me
he goes for the first two years of knowing you. I just I thought you were one of the most arrogant
people I do. And I was like, Where does this conversation go? But he was like, No, you're not. And I
was like, Okay, thank you. I guess he was just being super candid. And I was like, Okay, I don't
think I come off arrogant. But I have lived a very opulent life like, I asked mom for $5 She used to
		

			give me 50 Mom I'm gonna go she'd be like, I don't have bills. What am I How am I gonna buy ice
cream with a $50 bill mom, so I never like I lived very comfortably and Allahu Allah but I want you
to live on that side because those folks who are dealing with the inner demon of arrogance maybe
that's their struggle
		

			I went to bed till I was in like ninth grade on and off so I it's not that hard to not be it's not
that hard. Like I have Crohn's disease I go to I take a poop like nine times a day like it's I'm not
very I'm not Aryan I bleed from my mouth and * at least three times a month I know there's a
lot of information but without now because I've had to cut in the blood knows all of this blouse
like yeah with some you we've heard about all your holes, no man blouses blah see me and some
amazing times mashallah Mala give you Jana below
		

			all right now below last week guys never talk we talk. We talk today is just been in an exciting day
Alhamdulillah
		

			I say this all comes back to though fondly your opinion of Allah live at a Jeff Bezos live at a
rappers level of eemaan let his arrogance let your Eman be like that. That's how I live you got
Imani hanging off my neck let like live like that a little. And then when in the nighttime Oh Allah
you know do the thing. Remember Allah? I'm gonna play this character but I'm just you made me this
great. I'd rather do that than the Oh, Allah. Allah Allah Tala. I don't like that. Allah didn't make
we creatures. He made Dwayne The Rock Johnson. That's what he made.
