On this episode of the podcast, we had the pleasure of getting to know one of our good friends, Dhanan Abdurrahman. He is a musician, producer and social media influencer who has a passion for social media. He also happens to be a student of the Qurani s and has been involved in social media for a number of years. In this episode, we talk about the importance of social media and the impact it has had on his life and how it has impacted his lifestyle.

00:00:00.120 As-salamu alaykum guys, before the video starts I am looking to raise funds necessary to get a brother Dayi with a disability

00:00:04.900 a device which will give him increased access and ability to his computer

00:00:08.500 He currently does a lot of work behind the scenes in terms of video editing and subtitle works

00:00:12.700 Please give in the link below inshallah Barman Sisters and it's just only 600 pounds

00:00:17.020 We can do this in a matter of seconds. Let's help him inshallah and may Allah preserve him

00:00:21.380 How can we have so many devices with so many apps which help us monitor our progress for our body

00:00:29.000 But none for the soul. Well, the qurani app is about to show you your progress with your soul

00:00:34.120 Yes, that's correct. Not only does it encourage you to read it tells you how many verses you've read

00:00:38.560 How many pages you read how long you've been on it and best of all the hasana counter

00:00:42.360 Download the qurani app now and have a ramadan with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala's book like you've never had before

00:00:47.560 As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh brothers and sisters and dear friends

00:00:50.720 We're here with a handsome guy. Dishan you're handsome as well, but it's a different handsome guy, yeah

00:00:54.300 Okay, he's got swagger man. He's making it happen. Yeah, so you gotta give me some lessons on my clothing

00:00:59.340 So yeah, it's a little bit windy. I know I'm gonna keep it like this

00:01:02.460 But we was doing a social experiment today guys and he came by just came to say hello

00:01:06.800 But he said something profound. So you said that you used to be do music

00:01:11.060 Yeah, I used to do music for like about three years

00:01:14.420 But um, I saw one of your videos about the me it was me and him. We did a video together

00:01:20.020 Yeah, I think it was and it was about chunks creating music and it just really like

00:01:26.820 It just made me feel like

00:01:29.860 There was something missing in it like I just felt like I wasn't I felt like music was kind of misleading

00:01:36.340 in a way because you got a lot of people talking about like drugs and alcohol and ladies and stuff like that 0.75

00:01:41.780 so I was like

00:01:43.540 It just didn't make me feel I felt uncomfortable in a way

00:01:46.820 So I was like, you know what this this ain't for me in it like I gotta get closer to you know

00:01:52.580 You know my faith in it. So what was it in particular that made you think you know what I need to I need to change this

00:01:58.740 Like I said, I just feel like it's

00:02:03.700 It's it's just like

00:02:05.620 Misleading

00:02:06.500 Did it have an impact because you see I believe music has an impact on your whole lifestyle

00:02:10.180 So for example, even al-qayyim said music and the quran cannot stay in the same heart 0.98

00:02:14.580 One would override the other so would you say when you was listening to music because in jahili when I used to listen to music

00:02:19.300 It would impact my lifestyle

00:02:20.980 I'll be honest with you when I used to roll with like gangs and stuff like that

00:02:23.380 I used to listen to certain music before going to a fight

00:02:25.540 Because they were do you get what I'm trying to say it was intoxicating for me and I never did drugs

00:02:29.140 So do you think it had that impact on you in your lifestyle?

00:02:32.500 Yeah, a hundred percent. I would say that like

00:02:35.220 Listening to music is different to listening to the quran hundred percent 1.00

00:02:39.060 Like I feel like the quran when you listen to it even in your bad days, you just feel relaxed. Yeah, you feel like

00:02:46.900 Like you can you can do stuff in a sense you feel like yeah, you just feel like yeah, but when you do music

00:02:52.820 You just feel like I know some heavy yeah heavy like you

00:02:56.660 For example, I'm not gonna like drill drill artists for example day

00:03:00.100 They have like a lot of

00:03:01.940 Negative

00:03:02.500 Like why but I think I think that's one of the reasons why they're killing each other

00:03:06.260 I believe he plays a direct role if you're talking about yeah, I rolled up a man 1.00

00:03:09.140 Boom boom ash

00:03:10.340 A hundred percent 0.93

00:03:10.900 If i'm listening to that brother, I want to do that if i'm listening to yeah, I shot mans

00:03:13.700 I robbed mans I did this in my head 0.55

00:03:15.700 I'm thinking rob shot killed rock 0.81

00:03:17.860 What do you want me to do? How can I be like here rob shot killed or let me go and save someone's life? 0.89

00:03:21.620 Um, yeah, it's kind of like brainwashing people especially the youth

00:03:26.180 They grow up to you know think like this kind of stuff is is normal in it

00:03:30.100 Yeah, and they want to look cool for like school and stuff. It's it's not the way

00:03:33.860 It's it's absolutely not the way and easy and he used to do music any of our last questions because we want to go

00:03:39.380 Yeah

00:03:43.380 Where do you show up man?

00:03:45.380 Yeah, you need to take us to it. We need to swagger because you know i'm trying it, but you know, but it's not working
