Summary

Brother Andrew Tate talks about his fears and how he deals with them in his everyday life. He mentions how he feels more safe where he is because behind him is a vast amount of space and a number of security guards. He's in a fortified place, like a fortified castle, but there's something that's missing.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 I had a problem with this guy. We were texting back and forth and he stopped replying to me.
00:00:03.140 He never sent me a threat, which is quite interesting.
00:00:04.780 And then about four days later, I was walking to my car in a car park late at night.
00:00:07.400 Typical English weather. It was a little bit wet, dark.
00:00:09.440 And I heard footsteps coming fast. And as I turned...
00:00:13.000 ...to struggle reading the Qur'an daily before you instructed me to download this app.
00:00:18.560 I never knew that this app would have such an impact on people's lives.
00:00:21.860 You can go into the description box, click the link for iOS and Android,
00:00:25.020 and build your habit with the Qur'an right now.
00:00:27.520 As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh, brothers and sisters and dear friends.
00:00:30.740 Hope you guys are well, inshallah.
00:00:31.680 I came across a video of our brother Andrew Tate.
00:00:33.920 May Allah keep him firm, inshallah, in his religion and increase him in knowledge.
00:00:37.140 He's sitting down and he seems very calm. He seems like he's safe.
00:00:41.040 And he talks about his fears. What is his greatest fears?
00:00:43.700 And he mentions how he feels more safe where he is because behind him is a vast amount of, you know, space.
00:00:48.700 And he's got security guards. He's in a cross parameters, defense, like in a fortified place kind of.
00:00:54.660 We're not going to say fortified castle.
00:00:55.640 But there's something that our brother Andrew Tate is missing and that is tawakul in Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
00:00:59.920 We're not saying he's intentionally doing this, but maybe he doesn't know about it.
00:01:02.320 This video is specifically for him.
00:01:03.660 Before we get into that, let's watch the video and understand what are the concerns that brother Andrew Tate has
00:01:07.700 and how we can connect this to Islam and the beautiful solutions Islam offers, which is the peace of mind.
00:01:12.280 Here I am with empty space behind me and I can relax.
00:01:14.600 It's a beautiful thing. I don't sit in chairs unless the chair is to the back.
00:01:16.980 I can't sit in a room, a restaurant with my back to people.
00:01:19.640 Because no matter how good you are, somebody wants you dead and there's people walking past you all the time.
00:01:22.160 A hundred people walk past you and one of them decides to stab you.
00:01:23.620 Are you really going to detect it? Probably no.
00:01:25.500 I had a problem with this guy. We were texting back and forth and he stopped replying to me.
00:01:28.340 He never sent me a threat, which is quite interesting.
00:01:29.980 And then about four days later, I was walking to my car in a car park late at night.
00:01:32.600 Typical English weather. It was a little bit wet, dark.
00:01:34.640 And I heard footsteps coming fast. And as I turned to see what the footsteps was, he attempted to stab me.
00:01:37.660 And that's why anyone knows me well knows that my finger basically came off where I put the hand, took the knife instead of my neck.
00:01:41.380 It's kind of like people often say to me, Andrew, you know, you have all this money.
00:01:43.820 What's the most expensive thing you've got?
00:01:44.900 The true most expensive things in the world are one, peace of mind and two, time.
00:01:47.480 Peace of mind is also something else that's very expensive and it's worth so much money.
00:01:50.140 I will pay unlimited money for private security.
00:01:51.740 I'll pay unlimited money to make sure I have the table in the corner with my back to the wall.
00:01:54.540 I will pay anything it takes to have peace of mind.
00:01:56.280 I'll tell you something. When I'm in London and I'm getting a haircut, I hire out the entire barber shop.
00:01:59.040 I can't sit in that chair knowing the door's unlocked with a towel over my face,
00:02:02.640 knowing that someone can walk in that shop and stab me or that one of the other people there want me dead.
00:02:05.740 I can't do it. I buy the shop for an hour, lock the door, close the shutters, cut my hair, and I leave.
00:02:09.480 And I have two guards outside because peace of mind is invaluable.
00:02:11.620 So, guys, very, very interesting points.
00:02:13.280 So, one thing that we need to mention, brothers and sisters, is that when it comes to these kind of things,
00:02:16.320 as human beings, we usually take the aql, our logic, over the text.
00:02:21.180 Usually, we tend to fall for this a lot.
00:02:22.860 And this was one of the demises of shaitan because he took his logic over what God commanded him
00:02:26.680 and he fell into disbelief.
00:02:27.800 So, what does this mean?
00:02:29.020 Most of the times, brothers and sisters, when we go through certain traumas in our life,
00:02:32.000 we tend to be more cautious.
00:02:33.060 This is natural, human nature.
00:02:34.600 However, this sometimes goes to levels and points where I've seen people becoming obsessed
00:02:38.440 as if if they are not in control, they feel in fear.
00:02:41.620 It's as if they need to be in control.
00:02:42.640 Like, sometimes I have this as well.
00:02:44.240 When I'm on a plane, I am not secure because I don't necessarily trust a pilot.
00:02:47.560 I mean, he probably does a better job than me.
00:02:49.080 But the fact that I am not in control is an issue of a lack of tawakkul.
00:02:52.900 So, we all have this one way or another.
00:02:54.820 But there are ways of dealing with this.
00:02:56.480 So, a message to brother Andrew.
00:02:57.820 Yes, you went through this trauma where someone tried to, you know, take your life.
00:03:01.040 And after that, you know, you don't like sitting in places where you can't see behind you.
00:03:04.740 You know, if you mentioned another video where you would have close friends that you trust
00:03:07.600 that can keep an eye behind you.
00:03:08.780 You sit near walls.
00:03:10.300 You know, your back is against the wall.
00:03:12.660 You have security.
00:03:13.880 You hire out the whole barbershop, etc.
00:03:15.520 Somebody all understandable.
00:03:16.780 And we know that the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, told us that you should tie your camel.
00:03:20.400 There was a man who was going to the mosque in his time.
00:03:22.540 And he left his camel untied.
00:03:23.980 And the Prophet ï·º said to him, why did you not tie your camel?
00:03:26.640 He said, I trust.
00:03:27.320 I put my trust in Allah.
00:03:28.300 Which is a, I want to say another extreme.
00:03:30.360 But the Prophet ï·º told us, look, you tie the camel and then you put your trust in Allah.
00:03:34.100 So you don't jump from a 10-story building and say, oh, I'll put my trust in Allah.
00:03:37.280 You're going to die.
00:03:38.380 Do you get what I'm trying to say?
00:03:39.040 So there's a fine balance.
00:03:40.660 But we should have tawakul in Allah.
00:03:42.020 What does that mean?
00:03:42.760 That means our trust.
00:03:43.900 Like you talked about peace of mind.
00:03:45.280 Now, this is one of the concepts I had in Islam.
00:03:47.200 When it comes to coming, when I came to Islam, knowing my wealth, knowing my health is protected by God Almighty.
00:03:53.220 And what he deems that's going to happen is going to happen.
00:03:55.520 That gave me a peace of mind that I don't care.
00:03:57.440 If I open a business and I'm selling arguments, let me sell them kebabs.
00:04:02.060 I'm Kurdish, yeah.
00:04:02.760 I'm doing a kebab, yeah.
00:04:03.820 And 10 other kebab shops open next to me.
00:04:05.780 I would not give a damn.
00:04:07.560 You know why?
00:04:08.060 Because I know what's going to reach me is going to reach me.
00:04:10.260 And what's not going to reach me is not going to reach me.
00:04:12.260 It's as simple as that.
00:04:13.220 If someone intends to harm me, they would harm me even if they're in the other side of the planet.
00:04:19.100 And if somebody, if Allah willed that this person cannot harm me,
00:04:22.180 even if he's on an inch distance away from me, he will not be able to harm me.
00:04:26.200 This is our belief, my dear brother Andrew.
00:04:28.440 And what's really important here is also that if we look into the Quran,
00:04:31.700 Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala talks about, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says,
00:04:34.280 wherever you may be, death will overcome you.
00:04:36.740 Even if you are in fortified towers, when something good befalls them, they say this is from Allah.
00:04:40.880 But when something evil befalls them, they say this is from you.
00:04:43.520 Say, O Prophet, both of them destined by Allah.
00:04:46.400 So what is the matter with you?
00:04:47.860 Okay.
00:04:48.460 And another ayah in the Quran, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says,
00:04:50.360 This is enjoined on whoever has faith in Allah on the last day.
00:04:54.820 And whoever fears Allah, who is mindful of Allah,
00:04:57.560 Allah will give him a way out from places he would never have fought.
00:05:03.360 So God Almighty says, if you fear me, I will give you a way out from places you have never fought.
00:05:07.860 Yeah.
00:05:08.600 And another verse which we know is that Allah says,
00:05:11.460 Every soul shall taste death and you will be given your full compensation on the day of resurrection.
00:05:17.900 So we are going to die regardless.
00:05:20.620 Now we can do our bits to protect ourselves.
00:05:22.520 But just to give you a reminder, my brother Andrew Tate,
00:05:24.540 You can have security.
00:05:25.840 And many other people, you can have security.
00:05:27.500 Armed guards, bulletproof vest.
00:05:29.260 You know, you can be in a fortified castle like Allah says.
00:05:31.600 If Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala wants you to die, or wants any of us to die,
00:05:35.120 He will send a, be it an insect, or guess what?
00:05:38.280 Your heart attack.
00:05:38.960 You will die in the very, the chair that you're sitting in.
00:05:41.800 And again, this is not to, you know, this is not to make you feel like, to be scared.
00:05:45.360 The point I'm trying to say is that you should do your bit.
00:05:48.140 You should acknowledge, number one, that every soul is going to taste death.
00:05:50.800 100% understood.
00:05:51.480 We all accept that.
00:05:52.260 And that even if I'm in fortified castles, if God Almighty determines that I am going to die,
00:05:56.280 I am going to die.
00:05:57.260 So that's the one, another thing.
00:05:58.960 We need to also acknowledge, to have trust in Allah, that He's our protector.
00:06:03.600 Now, one thing that I'll recommend you, my dear brother Andrew, is that this app,
00:06:07.780 this app is called Adkarab.
00:06:09.080 Yeah, by the way, it's not mine, I'm not doing a marketing promotion, yeah?
00:06:12.380 This Adkarab, I do my morning and evening Adkarab.
00:06:14.660 Adkarab is like, not recitation, the remembrance that you do, that protects you from all kinds
00:06:19.540 of harm, be it black magic, because we believe.
00:06:21.640 Yes, you might believe in physical harm, but Andrew Tate, you're a Muslim now, we also
00:06:24.940 believe in the unseen world.
00:06:26.200 The Satan is an enemy.
00:06:28.220 Allah says in the Quran, he's an enemy, and take him as an enemy.
00:06:30.520 Just the way you are placed gives you comfort, and all this kind of stuff, because you've
00:06:34.020 got security guards, and all that kind of stuff, you need to take the same precautions
00:06:36.920 to Satan, Iblis.
00:06:38.140 You know why?
00:06:39.000 Because he's in the unseen.
00:06:40.540 We physically see things, and we're like, okay, that guy, you know, he might be carrying
00:06:43.160 something.
00:06:43.820 Satan is lurking.
00:06:45.300 The Prophet ï·º said, Satan runs through the veins of Adam, yeah?
00:06:49.440 The point is what?
00:06:50.560 We need to take precautions against him more, because he's our biggest enemy.
00:06:54.380 He wants us in the hellfire.
00:06:55.360 The enemy that wants to harm you, he wants your body to die.
00:06:58.360 He wants to take your soul, yeah?
00:07:00.280 He wants to take your life, yeah?
00:07:01.900 But Iblis wants your soul.
00:07:03.960 And your soul is the one that's, the thing that's going to ever live.
00:07:06.580 The body's going to decay, but your soul is going to be ever living, yeah?
00:07:10.140 So the point is what?
00:07:11.100 You should take that more serious.
00:07:13.420 So if he's an enemy and take him as an enemy, your relationship with the Qur'an, Adhkar,
00:07:17.060 morning and evening Adhkar, you do it before Asr, no, after Asr, before Maghrib, and you
00:07:21.220 do it after Fajr.
00:07:22.020 This protects you from evil, evil eye, black magic, and any physical harm, except what
00:07:27.840 Allah has willed.
00:07:28.840 Meaning, you do your bit, you do your Adhkar, you read it, et cetera, you get your bodyguards,
00:07:32.380 that's fine, you do all of that.
00:07:33.600 And then you put your trust in Allah.
00:07:35.280 Not yourself, not I've got these things, no, no, no, no, no.
00:07:37.840 If Allah wills, I will die.
00:07:40.080 But if he doesn't, nobody can touch me.
00:07:42.060 Once you have this, and I'm not saying you have it or not, if you do, the beauty of Iman,
00:07:46.360 your faith will be more solid, and you'll have more peace of heart, not thinking that
00:07:50.300 everything you control is what protects you.
00:07:52.600 May Allah bless you guys.
00:07:53.520 Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
