			the last question is not really a question, and I really hesitate to go down this, but I am
literally bombarded with multiple emails every single week, I am not exaggerating when I state my
inbox asked why Q inbox is full of hundreds of such emails. So I have to I believe I'm kind of like,
forced into a corner here to to answer this issue. So that Insha Allah, those emails, minimize, it's
something personal. I get multiple emails every single week, from around the world, people asking
for my forgiveness, because they say that they have said something about me, based upon something
that they saw or something that they heard that I'm this and that. And then they realized
		

			afterwards, when they listen to my lecture, or when they hear my explanation, they realize that they
were not told the truth. And so they said something wrong, and they're worried it's slander, or
LIBOR, or Jemima, and they're worried about the Judgement Day and this and that. So they're emailing
me sometimes because I don't respond to individual emails, the same person might email half a dozen
a dozen times saying, Please forgive me, please forgive me. And some of you might say, why don't you
just answer? Because if you saw my inbox, I don't have the time I apologize a long time. But so I'm
therefore giving this generic answer insha Allah to Allah to everybody, because I am inundated with
		

			such emails. So I stated that
		

			I understand that many people
		

			in their desire to defend Islam in their desire to protect the purity of this faith, that if they
think somebody is corrupting that faith, that they might say things in order to defend the religion,
and therefore whoever is sincere to defend the religion of Allah subhanho wa taala. That person has
already been forgiven from me, even if they are mistaken, there is no need to email me there is no
need to ask my forgiveness. Anybody who sincerely says something wrong about me sincerely thinking
that are with a Valera with what I see colors refuse that I am spreading deviation or heresy. They
hear something online or what have something of this nature. And they warn their relatives or their
		

			cousin, they say, don't listen to so and so because he's such and such. And then when they actually
listen, they realize, oh, actually, I was mistaken in this, you know, for all of those people
unconditionally, completely clean slate from me, there is nothing and there has never been anything
in my heart ever for anybody who has been, you know, sincere in this regard. I have forgiven them
and Allah has already forgiven them because they are sincere. In amado bindi yet, there's only one
small category that perhaps I look forward on the day of judgment, and that is those that
intentionally create drama knowing that they're misquoting me or they are not qualified. And this is
		

			another problem that if you don't have knowledge, and you hear that, oh, somebody prays like this,
somebody prays like this, and you've never heard this before, you're like, ooh, Biller, this guy
spreading deviation. My whole village prays like this, and he's saying you can pray like this for
example. I mean, then he is doing he is coming into a level and an arena and he's fighting a fight
he is not qualified to fight and when you do that, well then you are creating fitna and drama so
those two categories the one who is totally insincere and he knows that he is lying, or the one that
is creating this type of drama and he's not qualified to create this drama Subhanallah for those
		

			two, I asked that a lot forgives them in the era but after I get my husband that as well I don't
want them to be punished or with a bit I will be left for something like this, you know from a lot
but I am greedy for Hassan atta and so those people who are not sincere, I do expect that insha
Allah any something will come on the Day of Judgment. But my advice my dear brothers and sisters and
I've said this all the time is that don't involve yourself in this reputation culture. You my dear
brother and sister you do not know which opinion is blameworthy and which opinion is within the
realm of Islam and acceptable you do not know. And sadly, sometimes those who are just trained a
		

			little bit are also not aware, go to the senior Ruhama that are known for their open mindedness and
mindedness and tolerance go to minima that are global Alhamdulillah I'm a student of knowledge there
are major scholars in America major scholars across the globe who understand you know that okay,
		

			This is an opinion, I don't agree with it, but it is within the realm of acceptability. So look at a
person by his peers, look at the people that he associates with, look at those who endorse this
person. And in the end of the day, my dear brother and sister, my sincere advice to follow those
whom you trust, that's it. If you are in doubt about a teacher, I share an alum, leave that person.
And that includes me, by the way, leave that person and go to the one who gives you strength and the
man whose answers comfort you whom you think is bringing you closer to Allah and His messenger. That
is what Allah azza wa jal is going to judge you on. If you are not qualified to sift through between
		

			who's right and wrong, well then go with who your heart believes is the one that is taking you to
the best path, and then be quiet about the others because you are not qualified your brother and
sister, you don't have to follow them. But you are not qualified to say anything about them. And you
don't want on the day of judgment to have to face the potential. The potential What if somebody says
hey, that guy sport said a lie about me? You know, Allah, what if, as for me in sha Allah, anybody
who's sincere will lie he has Allah as my witness, I have never held a grudge against anybody who's
sincere, and I have forgiven them from day one anyway. So from my case, don't worry, you don't have
		

			to email me. Not at all. But how about others who might still want that or whatnot, why go down this
route, my genuine advice, please listen to this that. Follow your teacher, your chef, your alum,
whom you think is the most knowledgeable and bring you closer to Allah and His messenger, follow
that person, and then be quiet about the rest and leave refutations to those earlier ma who are
qualified. Not everybody who refused is an alum who's qualified, frankly, will lie, I say to
honestly, the majority of those who busy themselves in the refutation culture, they are not
qualified neither in nor in Adam. And this is the reality. And I don't like saying this, the real
		

			Adam, the real scholar, even if they must refute it is done like salt to the food once in a while it
needs to be done. And then you move on, do not associate with people whose primary output is
negating the products and the virtues and the fatawa of other people. That's not how you build
demand by destroying other people's demand. So bottom line, please, no need to email me, everybody,
even those who don't ask and they continue to say things about me because at the end of the day, we
live in very dangerous and very difficult times. And I understand there's a pain, I understand
there's a pain and a perception that the religion is under attack. And a lot of people think
		

			everybody's betraying the religion except me and my group and I understand that mentality, even
though I said that mentality is not healthy still I understand it. And this person this this, you
know, any innocent person in naive, the innocent, he genuinely thinks that he's defending the
religion of Allah, and defending the pristine teachings of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam by
speaking against people that he thinks is corrupting the faith, okay? in them and Mr. Lubin, yet,
that person is forgiven from Allah azza wa jal, and also between me and him Micrococcus Well, I give
up to that person, but still I say, Why get involved, worship Allah learn knowledge, do what you
		

			can, and the rest of the scholars into art leave their affair to those who are qualified to do that.
So I hope that insha Allah Tada I hope that this will minimize the number of emails that come in
this regard. And if you are a student of knowledge and if you are interested, then listen to the
person directly and see because again, fact of the matter almost all of these emails has the same
thing. I heard something about you from this video. I misunderstood I believed it until I came
across what you yourself said Subhanallah in this it kind of shows you as well but in any case,
busier time with that which is beneficial and do not busy your time with Kayla were called and he
		

			said and she said referring and whatnot follow those whom you trust and come closer to Allah and His
Messenger The goal is not the reputation of chef so and so the goal is the pleasure of Allah and
that will be done by you sincerely following that which you think will bring you to the pleasure of
Allah through the scholars in the road Mr. whom you trust me Allah subhana wa Tada Cleanse my heart
and yours have any zeal and has been helped? May Allah subhana wa Tada purify us internally and
grant us the best Adam if externally May Allah subhana wa Tada right for us Cabul in the heavens and
on this earth, may Allah subhanho wa Taala guide all of us to the truth and guide others to the
		

			truth through us. With us in sha Allah will come to the end of today's q&a, which is Akuma la Heron
