Summary

In this episode, we pay our tawah to one of the most loved brothers in the world, Abdurrahman Khidr, who passed away last week. He was a kind, gentle, soft spoken, soft hearted, soft-spoken, gentle in his words, always assuming the best in people, and soft spoken in the words that came out of his mouth. He would talk about his past, his mother, and the sacrifices he made to care for her, and how he was at the service of his mother.

00:00:00.000 As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh brothers and sisters and dear friends
00:00:02.520 Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in the Quran
00:00:04.920 Alhaakumu attakathur hatta zultumul makabir
00:00:08.700 Kalla sawfa ta'lamoon thumma kalla sawfa ta'lamoon
00:00:13.240 Indeed, you are busy with the world DFS
00:00:17.400 Competition with one another
00:00:21.460 Trying to race with one another
00:00:23.300 Trying to prove something to one another
00:00:26.440 People putting pictures of the stuff that they own
00:00:29.080 Or shall I say trying to own
00:00:30.800 Or are indebted to
00:00:32.400 Why?
00:00:35.280 Because they are too busy in rivalry
00:00:36.940 I have to prove the other person wrong
00:00:39.100 I need to see if I'm doing better than him
00:00:40.520 Everyone's racing with one another
00:00:42.280 Until you visit the graves
00:00:43.920 Allah says until you visit the graves
00:00:47.080 And know, surely you're going to know
00:00:49.800 And Allah repeats this statement
00:00:51.640 Brothers and sisters, a very beautiful brother called Khidr
00:00:55.240 Who I had the honour to work with
00:00:57.360 With Iman Channel
00:00:59.660 A very beautiful brother that I know him for three things
00:01:03.900 Three things I know him
00:01:05.180 I met him very briefly
00:01:06.080 I did a bit of presenting with him
00:01:08.000 But I know him for three categorical things
00:01:11.240 The first one is brother and sisters
00:01:13.620 That he would tell us a bit about his story
00:01:16.460 When I met him
00:01:17.080 We would sit down and we would talk and eat
00:01:18.280 He would tell me a story about
00:01:20.240 You know, he used to chase, you know
00:01:21.700 Music and all this kind of stuff
00:01:24.200 And he was working with certain people in the industry
00:01:26.000 And how Allah guided him
00:01:28.060 And he used to cry
00:01:29.900 Every time he used to tell me a story
00:01:31.480 He used to cry
00:01:32.260 The guy, he spoke from his heart
00:01:34.520 He used to always get in tears and cry
00:01:37.020 The second thing I remember him
00:01:39.520 Is how soft he was spoken
00:01:41.720 Like I have never, ever
00:01:44.200 I think ever come across anybody
00:01:46.840 So innocent and sweet in his speech
00:01:50.040 Like so soft that
00:01:51.580 When you look at him
00:01:52.700 You will say this person
00:01:53.500 I don't think he's the type to backbite
00:01:54.980 I don't think he's the type to talk ill about others
00:01:57.300 His demeanor
00:01:58.560 And the words that came out of his mouth
00:01:59.980 Is something where you would like
00:02:01.620 Nah, this guy
00:02:02.740 And backbiting
00:02:03.940 Are contradictions
00:02:05.120 Like it wouldn't
00:02:05.920 I'm not saying
00:02:06.760 People can fall into it
00:02:08.180 But it's not something that you would expect
00:02:09.880 He was very soft spoken
00:02:11.180 Very gentle
00:02:12.180 Always assuming the best in people
00:02:14.040 Wallahi
00:02:15.200 A beautiful man
00:02:16.620 The third thing
00:02:18.660 Which I loved about Khadr
00:02:20.360 Wallahi
00:02:21.620 Is
00:02:22.060 And it amazed me
00:02:23.780 When he would talk about his past
00:02:25.440 Another thing that he would always talk about
00:02:27.460 Is his mother
00:02:28.000 Continuously
00:02:29.840 Continuously
00:02:30.500 He would talk about his mum
00:02:31.700 How he takes care of his mum
00:02:33.260 He lives in London
00:02:33.920 But has to travel all the way to Birmingham
00:02:35.360 Because she's not well
00:02:36.140 She's got arthritis
00:02:36.760 And a few other illnesses
00:02:37.580 That he would go and cater for her
00:02:39.420 Two to three times a week
00:02:40.560 And I can remember at one point
00:02:42.820 I was looking for a phone
00:02:43.720 Or I was selling my phone
00:02:44.960 I can't remember on Instagram
00:02:45.700 And he was saying
00:02:46.200 Oh Aki
00:02:46.560 I'm thinking of buying my mum a phone
00:02:48.180 He was at the service of his mother
00:02:50.880 This guy was at the service of his mother
00:02:53.740 Wallahi
00:02:54.940 Wallahi
00:02:56.120 Abdullah ibn Umar
00:02:57.160 Radiyallahu an

00:02:59.640 A Yemeni man
00:03:00.980 Having his mum on his shoulders
00:03:02.840 Going around the Kaaba
00:03:04.860 And the man
00:03:06.520 After he finished the tawah for his mum
00:03:08.020 He came to Umar
00:03:08.840 And said
00:03:09.180 Oh Umar
00:03:09.620 Have I paid my mum back
00:03:12.080 For what she has done for me
00:03:13.940 Umar looked at him and said
00:03:15.920 You have not paid back your mother
00:03:18.120 For one oof
00:03:19.520 She said when she was giving birth to you
