Summary

In this episode, we talk about a very important topic that is very common in our culture, especially in our Kurdish culture. This is a topic that has been on my mind for a long time and I have been trying to educate my family about it. But what do they think about it? Do they see it differently than I do? Is it a good or a bad thing? What does it mean and how can we stop it?

00:00:39.000 Hope you guys are well inshallah.
00:00:40.000 My name is Ali Dawah and this is my mom.
00:00:43.000 I am Eddie.
00:00:44.000 Ali Dawah's mom.
00:00:46.000 She made a straight introduction.
00:00:48.000 She's smiling quite to your face.
00:00:50.000 Yeah.
00:00:51.000 She doesn't understand English.
00:00:52.000 How's your English?
00:00:53.000 Yeah, my English is not very well.
00:00:55.000 Very good.
00:00:56.000 No, not very good.
00:00:57.000 Yes.
00:00:58.000 Leave it in English.
00:00:59.000 That's good.
00:01:01.000 So what we're going to do is we're going to be talking about something very important.
00:01:04.500 This thing here.
00:01:06.000 So this you would see maybe in a lot of cultures, yes, a lot of countries.
00:01:11.100 So I heard like, you know, Iran, Greece, Turkey is known for it.
00:01:17.500 Everywhere you go you'll see it.
00:01:19.500 So we're going to talk a bit about this and we're going to learn some lessons from this
00:01:22.500 because the reason I'm doing this video is because of my Kurdish culture.
00:01:26.000 We have this as well.
00:01:27.000 You see everywhere.
00:01:28.000 You see it especially on babies, newborn babies, small ones that they put on.
00:01:31.500 And we're going to find out why.
00:01:34.000 So I'm just going to get it from my mom's perspective originally.
00:01:37.000 Okay, so my mom says she sees it as a design.
00:02:05.500 Now that could be because it's derived because I've told her about this over the years that this is not that.
00:02:11.000 So I'm going to ask her that.
00:02:12.000 But I'll tell you first of all that about this ..
00:02:19.000 But this is before
00:02:21.000 about the thinking Ne?
00:02:22.500 A democracy, we can often first think that they repeat themselves
00:02:35.940 that they use the purpose.
00:02:43.820 The best thing here is what we already said.
00:02:44.880 That's what we got into our simple and вик,
00:02:47.320 we got into that glass.
00:02:51.280 Yes, it is the eye shape.
00:02:53.280 Okay, I imagine.
00:02:55.280 We have a bad eye.
00:02:57.280 Ah, okay.
00:02:59.280 What my mom said is basically this is their...
00:03:01.280 Because I said we believe in the evil eye.
00:03:03.280 So she said yes, exactly. That's why the eyes are saying.
00:03:05.280 Because we believe in the evil eye and it's there to protect you from that.
00:03:09.280 So now obviously my mom's understanding.
00:03:11.280 Obviously I've been telling her.
00:03:13.280 She doesn't know but obviously sometimes you know those old habits leave you hard.
00:03:17.280 Now, can you make these solutions?
00:03:20.280 Yes, I know.
00:03:38.260 This is not just a good thing, it can only be a good thing, it can only be a good thing, it can only be a good thing, it can only be a good thing.
00:03:47.260 So mom said, for example, that she said before she goes, it has no power to protect us.
00:03:51.260 So I said to mom, if I was to break this, can I protect myself?
00:03:57.260 So mom said never, it cannot protect me from itself.
00:04:01.260 Because I can smash this flower, I can just break this into pieces, which I'm going to do after with great delight.
00:04:06.260 But the point is this, now a lot of Turkish families, Turkish, Kurdish, or if you have this in your house, you might be from a different background.
00:04:13.260 The point is this problem, sisters, you might see this as something very trivial, something not really important, we'll just put it.
00:04:19.260 But what happens is these superstitions grow, you know, and one of the reasons I found out, because this goes back 3000 years ago, it's not even for any religion here.
00:04:26.260 So basically, what I found out is that, yes, okay, although the Nazar is attributed to Turkey, the symbol goes back about 3000 years ago.
00:04:33.260 It is said that the Nazar-born Jew can be traced to ancient Egypt, where the eye of the god of Osiris was believed to have protective powers, and from this grew the idea of the benevolent eye.
00:04:45.260 So the thing is, what we're trying to raise here, brothers and sisters, is to educate your family members, don't go home and start going in a madam and start, we have a quote, go home and start getting these things and start smashing down, you know, getting excited.
00:05:05.260 There's no wisdom behind that, you're going to make your family think, you know, you've lost the plot.
00:05:09.260 So the thing is, it's very important to educate, because I've been telling my mum about this, and she says that herself.
00:05:14.260 But the point is, though, sometimes those habits stay with you, so they'll be like, oh, it's just, we're just leaving it there.
00:05:18.260 And what happens is, brothers and sisters, if you believe that, I was watching this in the video, if you believe that this protects you with the will of Allah, that's a form of minor shirk.
00:05:28.260 If you believe this, this thing protects you, that is major shirk.
00:05:32.260 And we know the dangers of shirk, brothers and sisters, and it's easy.
00:05:35.260 Like, we have Quran, Allah SWT says in Surah Falaq.
00:05:39.260 قُلْ أَوُذْ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقْ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقْ وَمِنْ شَرِّ غَاسِكِينَ إِذَا وَقَبْ وَمِنْ شَرِّ النَّفَّثَاتِ فِي الْأُقَدْ وَمِنْ شَرِّ حَاسِدِينَ إِذَا حَسَدْ
00:05:52.260 So, brothers and sisters, Allah SWT has given us something to protect ourselves.
00:05:55.260 And what's the translation of that to be exact?
00:05:58.260 Say, I seek refuge in the Lord of the daybreak, from the evil of that which he created,
00:06:02.260 and from the evil of the darkness when it settles, and from the evil of the blows and the knots,
00:06:07.260 those who do magic, and from the evil of an enviar when he envies.
00:06:11.260 So, brothers and sisters, when you look at the tafsir of this, you can see that it talks about evil eye.
00:06:15.260 One thing that I found out also was that, just a little fact, is that when they put this on babies,
00:06:19.260 when they put it on a baby, the small ones, the attention was that, the point was that the attention,
00:06:33.260 and the Hindus, if I'm not mistaken, Hindus do this as well.
00:06:36.260 Or, you know, that they'll put a black dot on a baby's head, so that the person's focus will go on,
00:06:42.260 they are not on the baby, and give the baby evil eye.
00:06:44.260 So, what they would do is, they would use this as a distraction tool.
00:06:46.260 So, what happens is, eventually though, as human beings, and that's the reason why there's dangers in these kind of acts,
00:06:52.260 because it turns out to be shir, and people who have this in their car, if you go to shops and stuff like that,
00:06:57.260 they think this, in itself, plays a role in the protection.
00:07:00.260 And we believe this is a form of a minor shir, or even actual shir.
00:07:03.260 So, we want to cleanse our family members from this, you know, battle.
00:07:09.260 It's falsehood, you know, and when truth comes, it smashes.
00:07:12.260 I'm gonna smash it, but not now, maybe, I might do a little thing outside, you know.
00:07:15.260 But, brothers and sisters, it's very important for us to understand.
00:07:18.260 I'm sorry, they say that they like it, basically, you know, seeing, if you areants of all everything they could have an end,
00:07:25.260 I think you will be telling yourself, that you've called justice.
00:07:26.260 I mean, imagine it's an end, it's a false plains not only that he doesn't make it to me,
00:07:31.260 but I accept it, you don't mind your freedom?
00:07:34.260 Even if you're saying we need the understanding of the laws that you can say,
00:07:38.260 you can't Yahweh and anything perchance, if you could take not to ?!
00:07:42.260 There is only a Korean and then, cause and that people say, we sign that for JULRep.
00:07:44.260 There is also a Korean seminar in the Bible.
00:07:46.260 today are you right.
00:07:47.060 Now, we need an example
00:07:48.400 There's a painting
00:07:52.680 a fish
00:07:54.160 ...
00:07:56.420 for himself
00:07:57.660 if upon him
00:07:59.000 I think I should agree
00:08:01.020 but on his он
00:08:01.720 He could have fixed it
00:08:03.140 but he could have
00:08:04.660 Atom
00:08:05.040 Even
00:08:06.040 But I am
00:08:07.060 In 59
00:08:08.300 and ever
00:08:09.160 But
00:08:10.640 I think
00:08:11.420 Yet
00:08:12.220 Oh
00:08:13.000 He
00:08:13.720 She
00:08:14.160 All
00:08:14.300 For
00:08:14.780 Do
00:08:14.920 I
00:08:15.700 Everyone is always like our children and our children.
00:08:19.700 They say that they are very selfish.
00:08:21.700 Don't put them in their house.
00:08:23.700 I get them a gift.
00:08:25.700 They are a gift.
00:08:27.700 I don't like them that way.
00:08:29.700 I don't like them that way.
00:08:31.700 So the thing that mom was saying, you know,
00:08:33.700 in the translation, is that owl,
00:08:35.700 she leaves a bad luck or etc.
00:08:37.700 And I said, look, these are superstitious things.
00:08:40.700 Yeah, like opening the umbrella,
00:08:42.700 going under a certain billboard or whatever it may be.
00:08:44.700 These are all superstitious things.
00:08:45.700 That's why we have the Quran and the Sunnah to abide by Brahman's sisters.
00:08:48.700 My mom is obviously like, you know, she's learning.
00:08:50.700 And like I said, she has those old habits there.
00:08:53.700 And they don't that easily.
00:08:54.700 So alhamdulillah, I'm educating her with these specific things as well.
00:08:57.700 And like I said before, Brahman's sisters,
00:08:59.700 it's very important for us to understand the dangers of this
00:09:03.700 and to protect ourselves from that.
00:09:04.700 That protection is from Allah.
00:09:05.700 And the reason why we fall into these things
00:09:07.700 and why the reward for paradise is there for those who believe in Allah without seeing Him.
00:09:13.700 Uh-uh, a-uh, a-uh- Me�s.
00:09:14.700 What recently?
00:09:15.700 I had I am not for a horse.
00:09:16.700 A, I can't say it a lot.
00:09:17.700 A, you can't say it a lot.
00:09:18.700 A, you can't say it a lot.
00:09:19.700 Ok, right now, what about a horse,
00:09:20.700 what about that Boss?
00:09:21.700 Ya-H CC and I say it a lot.
00:09:22.700 So I am not a Jah- prayerist.
00:09:23.700 Ok.
00:09:24.700 That is it a lot, I am not a horse to say.
00:09:25.700 I am not.
00:09:26.700 A, a-I like, good
00:09:27.700 Absolutely.
00:09:28.700 I am trying to say that he you're saying that from every person,
00:09:30.700 To us, to us certain things that maybe ...
00:09:32.700 Who said that?
00:09:34.700 We said that.
00:09:36.700 But we said that, you know that.
00:09:38.700 We said that,
00:09:40.700 we've said that.
00:09:42.700 But then, like I said before, she said that this is what God said.
00:09:46.700 I said that, look, no way to say that.
00:09:48.700 No way to say that.
00:09:50.700 No way to say that.
00:09:52.700 I'm saying that,
00:09:54.700 for the forefathers said that the elephants are good luck with the permission of God.
00:09:56.700 But then again, like I said before,
00:09:58.700 she goes, this is what God said.
00:10:00.700 No way to say that.
00:10:18.700 One of the reasons why we have this as human beings is,
00:10:20.700 we have this kind of craving to it,
00:10:22.700 is because we like to see things,
00:10:24.700 real things that we see,
00:10:26.700 that we will say, okay, this protects.
00:10:28.700 We have adhkar, morning and evening.
00:10:30.700 Adhkar, we have the Qur'an as a cure.
00:10:32.700 It's a cure.
00:10:34.700 But what happens is,
00:10:36.700 because it's something tangible in the context of,
00:10:38.700 we don't say, okay, I recite something.
00:10:39.700 Okay, I can't see what I recited.
00:10:40.700 It's not there.
00:10:41.700 Well, that's why some people get amelettes and stuff like that Qur'an.
00:10:44.700 Why? Because as human beings, we have this craving.
00:10:46.700 Allah's maybe created us in that way to have that.
00:10:48.700 But the ones who follow the Qur'an and the Sunnah in the correct way
00:10:52.700 will follow what his law and his messenger sent,
00:10:54.700 and will not try to find solutions in handmade things.
00:10:58.700 That's the reason why a lot of people went into idol worship.
00:11:00.700 Because they can't see Allah,
00:11:02.700 they want to go into something that they can tangibly feel and touch,
00:11:06.700 even though it cannot either bring them harm,
00:11:08.700 or bring them any kind of benefit.
00:11:10.700 Because the statue in itself can be harmed.
00:11:12.700 You can, if you go and smash this,
00:11:14.700 it's not going to be able to help itself.
00:11:16.700 From me, let alone protect you.
00:11:18.700 So the Prophet says that this was a video from me and my mum, inshallah.
00:11:21.700 And we're going to be touching upon a few other cultural aspects
00:11:23.700 that Turkish people have, which we're going to be doing, inshallah.
00:11:26.700 To break down certain things, and it's to educate you, inshallah.
00:11:29.700 So please share this message with wisdom.
00:11:31.700 Please do not go to your house.
00:11:32.700 I don't want parents coming and telling me,
00:11:34.700 yeah, my son, watch your video.
00:11:35.700 Okay, mum, I start smashing all the eyes in the house.
00:11:37.700 I start setting the place on fire.
00:11:38.700 Yeah, please have some wisdom.
00:11:39.700 Okay, and firstly, you should obey your parents,
00:11:41.700 unless they call you to shirr.
00:11:43.700 If they tell you to carry that, that's a different story, yeah?
00:11:45.700 You know, like sometimes, before my mum used to tell me to,
00:11:48.700 I would just gently say no.
00:11:50.700 Yeah, and do not forget to honour your parents, respect your parents.
00:11:52.700 Allah says, after I command you to worship me,
00:11:55.700 is to be good to the parents,
00:11:56.700 and do not even say words of uf to them, inshallah.
00:11:59.700 And if you want any kind of barakah in your life benefit,
00:12:02.700 don't find barakah in these things.
00:12:04.700 Find barakah in being obedient to your parents,
00:12:06.700 good to people, inshallah,
00:12:07.700 and get close to Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala.
00:12:09.700 Dedim işte, yani dedim,
00:12:10.700 eğer hayatta bereketsizini istiyorsanız,
00:12:12.700 anne babanız da iyi olur.
00:12:14.700 Aynen öyle, aynen öyle.
00:12:15.700 Yani bunlarda, bu tür şeylerde...
00:12:16.700 Yok, hayır.
00:12:17.700 Annenin, babanın duası,
00:12:18.700 hele annenin duası,
00:12:20.700 ardınızda olduğu zaman zaten işiniz gerçekten,
00:12:22.700 yani cennetliksiniz.
00:12:23.700 Exactly.
00:12:24.700 Çünkü gerçekten bu cennete kazanmak istiyorsanız,
00:12:26.700 hayattayken verdin.
00:12:27.700 Öldün sonra değil.
00:12:29.700 Hayattayken verdin.
00:12:30.700 O duyarken, o iştirken, o görürken.
00:12:33.700 Çünkü öyle insan bir şeyde ayağını duymaz,
00:12:36.700 yapmaz olan.
00:12:37.700 Ama hayattayken verdin anne babaya.
00:12:39.700 Onun için böyle boş boş şeylere inanmasınlar.
00:12:41.700 Bu bir dizayn'dir.
00:12:42.700 Evinize koymak istiyorsanız,
00:12:43.700 desayn olarak koymak istiyorsanız.
00:12:44.700 Ha, ya desayn olarak koymak istiyorsanız.
00:12:47.700 Evet.
00:12:48.700 I would say...
00:12:49.700 Maman says she does it,
00:12:50.700 but she goes,
00:12:51.700 she just puts it as like,
00:12:52.700 you know, as an aesthetic.
00:12:53.700 Just to make it look nice.
00:12:54.700 As you can see,
00:12:55.700 it got smashed.
00:12:56.700 See, it got smashed.
00:12:57.700 Ha, ha, ha.
