00:00:00.000 As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh brothers and sisters and dear friends, hope you guys are doing well.
00:00:05.000 Oh, there you go.
00:00:06.000 Yeah, so basically we're on the way to Birmingham.
00:00:09.000 We're working, basically, as we were going there, did you bring the hadith or did Musa bring there?
00:00:15.000 I think, yeah, I think I mentioned it.
00:00:17.000 Okay, yeah, so how did it happen just quickly?
00:00:20.000 We just talked about our attitude towards religion.
00:00:22.000 Oh yeah, that's it, that's it. Musa just sent a story of some sister that he knows that came to the religion really fast
00:00:29.000 and then, is there saying funny Musa?
00:00:31.000 No, no.
00:00:32.000 Do you want to share that with us?
00:00:33.000 Yeah, so came to the religion really fast and now has basically, is going through some trials
00:00:38.000 and kind of going back to their old ways a bit, yeah?
00:00:41.000 So now, we thought, when he said that then, I think you just came with hadith, right?
00:00:45.000 Exactly.
00:00:46.000 Yeah, so we thought, you know what, this is actually a big problem.
00:00:48.000 The reason being is because, this is, you have a trend, you have, this is my personal thing in this, yeah?
00:00:54.000 Is we have this trend where we have young people who have the jahli or whatever it may be
00:00:59.000 and they take a big nosedive to Islam.
00:01:03.000 Intentions are good.
00:01:04.000 It's not that they don't want to do anything bad.
00:01:06.000 But what happens is they go into this cycle of, we call it the paiti itself, me and Musa call it the paiti itself, innit?
00:01:12.000 Yeah.
00:01:13.000 What it means is you just go through this phase where you're just like, yeah, you wear the foe.
00:01:16.000 Mashallah, it's all good.
00:01:17.000 Nobody's ever complained about that.
00:01:18.000 Your actions are good and what you want to do is good.
00:01:20.000 But however, if I'm not mistaken, one of the sahaba or the, I mean, the tabi and somebody said that a lot of people start with good intentions,
00:01:27.000 but not a lot of them achieved it.
00:01:31.000 Now, this cycle is basically coming extra religious, going in, trying to do everything you can in the religion.
00:01:39.000 All guns blazing.
00:01:40.000 Yeah, all guns blazing.
00:01:41.000 And this also comes with judgment.
00:01:44.000 You start judging people.
00:01:45.000 You start looking down at people.
00:01:46.000 You start acting a certain way.
00:01:48.000 Do you get what I'm trying to say?
00:01:49.000 And it has an impact on you, you know?
00:01:52.000 And it's a negative impact.
00:01:53.000 Because what happens is when you overburden yourself, and this happens with, some people do it with their outer garment.
00:01:58.000 They start wearing the niqab straight away. 1.00
00:01:59.000 Some brothers do this.
00:02:00.000 And the next thing you know, like, fourth month standard, like five months standard, a year, or even some two months, everything comes off.
00:02:06.000 And then you say to yourself, where did they go wrong?
00:02:08.000 Yeah?
00:02:09.000 So briefly, can you just tell us about the hadith?
00:02:12.000 So let's go through what the hadith actually reads.
00:02:15.000 So that certainly the religion is ease.
00:02:25.000 Yeah?
00:02:26.000 So ease here suggests that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, as He mentioned in the Quran, He wants our lives to be easy.
00:02:32.000 You read Allah bikum al yusra, wa la yuridu bikum al asir. 0.80
00:02:37.000 So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in the Quran that He wants ease for you and He doesn't want hardship for you.
00:02:42.000 Which is a very important attitude that the Islamic model has for individuals.
00:02:49.000 Yeah.
00:02:50.000 That we, it's not intended for us that we go through hardship.
00:02:53.000 It's not intended for us that we go through a hard time in the religion.
00:02:58.000 It's meant to be actually a thing that facilitates for us in this world and hereafter.
00:03:02.000 So in the dina yusra, certainly the religion is ease.
00:03:09.000 Okay?
00:03:10.000 So that's why it's meant by it.
00:03:11.000 And to be honest with you, if you look at Surat al-Asr, it says,
00:03:15.000 As-salihaat are the few good things. 0.98
00:03:22.000 The word salihaat actually just means the few good things because it's called jama'a uqillah.
00:03:27.000 Where you have alif and ta'a at the end of it.
00:03:30.000 So the few good things that Allah is telling us to do like the five pillars and these things.
00:03:34.000 They're not actually time consuming and that energy consuming.
00:03:37.000 So the deen generally speaking in the context, in the grand scheme of things, in the context of our life,
00:03:41.000 is actually an easy thing.
00:03:43.000 The religion is easy.
00:03:44.000 All you have to do in terms of action and exertion of energies and time is,
00:03:50.000 all you have to do is a few things according to the Quranic discourse.
00:03:54.000 So you mentioned the five pillars.
00:03:56.000 Yeah.
00:03:57.000 Is that a core fundamental thing to say?
00:03:59.000 So the five pillars of Islam, obviously.
00:04:01.000 So it's really, sorry, not in Tuhmin.
00:04:04.000 Shahaat al-laylalla wa'idhan wa'idhu al- waw'sahu al-shwa'adhu al-shwa'idhu al-zaka'ah, etc.
00:04:07.000 Fifty others in these cameras in our country.
00:04:10.000 Oh, oh god.
00:04:12.000 Yeah, a different.
00:04:13.000 You don't wanna get together.
00:04:14.000 I've been stuck.
00:04:15.000 I've been stuck.
00:04:16.000 Yeah.
00:04:17.000 It's really wide as well.
00:04:18.000 I guess we didn't know it.
00:04:21.000 Yeah.
00:04:22.000 No, but you know this Ben.
00:04:23.000 Anyways, what was he saying?
00:04:25.000 The five pillars of the Shahaata, the Salah, etc.
00:04:28.000 The al-shwa'idhu al-shwa'idhu al-shwa'idhu al-zaka'ah 0.81
00:04:30.000 zakah, the psalm Ramadan, hajj, so these are five pillars of Islam, so if you think about
00:04:37.120 a lot of these pillars are annually done, like zakah is annually done, you have to pay
00:04:41.360 money to charity, the hajj is once in a lifetime, psalm is once a year, once annually done,
00:04:48.500 shahada is done once, it's done once, so it's two sentences that you say in Arabic, one
00:04:54.780 time, and then you have the prayer, which is the most probably consistent thing you do,
00:05:00.220 it's five times a day, and even that, if you think about it, I mean how long is it really
00:05:05.220 taking a day, about half an hour, exactly, you know, so it's not, yeah, and only that, you
00:05:09.020 know, the bed of a man who came to the Prophet and he said, oh man, what can I do to be a
00:05:14.020 Muslim, and he said, you know, the shahada, and then he said, okay, I'll do the shahada, 0.70
00:05:17.580 he said, then what must I do, he said, then pray the salah, he said, I'll do the salah,
00:05:20.220 nothing more, nothing less, then he said, the zakah, he said, I'll pay exactly 2.5%, nothing
00:05:24.100 more, nothing less, fast in Ramadan, he said, I'll do fast exactly in Ramadan, nothing
00:05:27.700 extra, nothing less, and go had you if you have the means to, and when the man walked
00:05:30.940 away, the Prophet pointed out at him, and the companions were there, he said, if you follow
00:05:34.580 this man, you'll be successful, so what it shows is, by default, that this is the main
00:05:38.840 thing that we need to concentrate on, and I've seen it for major sins, and also, another
00:05:42.160 thing, I was speaking to one brother, yeah, he was just asking me a question about, you
00:05:45.260 know, Aki, why, why does Allah put us here, you know, it's just, he had a bit of a shabbat,
00:05:49.340 yeah, yeah, he had got a shabbat on, always, always, just make sure that,
00:05:52.640 safety first, always, you know, that one is not legal, but anyways, yeah, and can we
00:06:01.960 say, by default, Allah wants Jannah for us, yeah, exactly, yeah, by default, because some
00:06:08.040 people think, oh, you know, but anyway, that's a different topic, but yeah, so, yeah, sorry,
00:06:11.740 yeah, Allah is one of the, what will Allah gain from punishing you, do you know what I mean? 0.97
00:06:16.640 Allah mentions in the Qur'an, yeah, he mentions that in the Qur'an, yeah, so, uh, and then
00:06:19.960 listen, uh, and then you share that, uh, when you share that deen ahad illa ghalabahu, illa
00:06:25.960 ghalabahu, yeah, that the deen, no one, um, basically, uh, consumes too much of, or basically
00:06:32.120 overburdening, overburdening himself or herself with the religion, except that the religion,
00:06:37.400 the religion overburdening him. What do you mean, what do we get by that? Because some people
00:06:41.020 might say, you know what, look, I'm practicing, what's wrong with me practicing and doing
00:06:43.700 extra? Well, there's nothing wrong with that, in fact, that's encouraged, but where it becomes,
00:06:47.540 where it becomes actually, um, where it becomes, yeah, yeah, counter, so where it becomes,
00:06:52.880 basically, a burden amongst, for you, do you know what I'm saying? So, well, do you know,
00:06:58.480 there is a saying in Arabic, and there's also a hadith, uh, that the best deeds, yeah, are
00:07:04.780 those which you do small, but consistently, rather than, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah,
00:07:11.040 if you do something, er, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah,
00:07:14.420 ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
00:07:17.480 okay I'm gonna wear it in a cup they're not ready for it and then they end up
00:07:20.420 taking it all off. Is it better to stick to hijab and be continuous? 1.00
00:07:24.260 Well it depends on the opinion that person follows but yeah generally speaking if that
00:07:28.120 person follows the opinion that the hands and the face are the only things
00:07:32.260 that need to be covered, shown, can be shown then that could be an example but
00:07:36.720 also the example of like say for example Qiyam al-Layl. If you want to do Qiyam al-Layl
00:07:42.860 if for example doing it every single day or doing it a lot for a couple of days
00:07:50.280 like say for example doing like one hour one hour and a half for two or three
00:07:53.540 days a week it's not as good as doing it let's say 25 minutes every day yeah you
00:07:57.860 get it so things like that. You're gonna take the exit by the way yeah yeah so since
00:08:03.680 you've spoken to this sister? I've spoken to multiple people. What's your take on it?
00:08:10.400 The thing is yeah what we need to understand is that firstly as you know
00:08:17.820 from the many many things mentioned we know that the deen is supposed to be
00:08:22.020 easy for us. If you're making it hard on yourself then there's a problem there that's
00:08:27.080 the first thing. Secondly the hadith that Ali mentioned is very very relevant to what
00:08:32.780 we're talking about. Ali did you say oh? I didn't mention it. It's the one that you mentioned yeah.
00:08:39.200 Which is about the man that said that he will do the things that Islam requires of him 0.99
00:08:44.360 nothing more nothing less. And what did the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam say in response to that?
00:08:48.980 That this man he will enter Jannah. If he actually does what he said yeah. Of course. Now what do we take from that?
00:08:57.200 What we take from that is that just by you doing your obligations and trying to adhere to the Sunnah 0.98
00:09:03.620 yeah that's enough. Now what the problem is is that when some of us become
00:09:09.200 practicing we fall in love with the deen. There's nothing wrong with that. We
00:09:13.820 should be falling in love with the deen. It's beautiful yeah. Where the problem
00:09:17.600 comes in is that when we're young we have a tendency to become overzealous very very quickly
00:09:24.020 yeah. So when we become overzealous what actually ends up happening is you're like
00:09:31.220 wow this is amazing I love this I want to pray okay you know what I can pray Qiyam al-Layl I've heard
00:09:37.020 about that as well let me pray Qiyam al-Layl okay memorizing Quran. Quran is beautiful let me memorize it.
00:09:42.600 start memorizing Quran he's not going to have these classes he starts doing 0.96
00:09:46.140 everything and what what's happened here bro within the space of a week what's
00:09:51.060 happened is he's gone from clubbing what not a lifestyle of maybe going she shot
00:09:56.220 maybe not too extreme what not chilling chilling out with his friends to
00:10:01.320 completely within a week becoming a student of knowledge it's a big
00:10:05.280 transition to make now the problem with that transition is because you haven't
00:10:09.960 built yourself up to it the foundations eventually you're building the roof yeah
00:10:14.280 yeah you haven't built yourself up to it so now what's gonna happen is when you're
00:10:18.000 deep into it and something hits you or Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala tests you something
00:10:22.900 you're gonna be overwhelmed you're gonna be like whoa now you know that's a very good point
00:10:27.540 yeah are you finished but basically what I'm saying is yeah you know when you're
00:10:31.920 overwhelmed that's where there's a deciding point some people when they're overwhelmed
00:10:37.960 they can break through but many many people and most people they will fall off
00:10:44.280 they will be like this is way too much why I spoke to one person once I was going
00:10:48.760 through a specific problem yeah and this person he spoke to me he said you know what
00:10:53.800 you don't realize is that think of it as this does Allah want this from you you're
00:10:59.380 putting yourself in this problem does Allah want this from you Allah doesn't want this from you 0.99
00:11:03.340 that's really good so if Allah doesn't want this from you why are you doing it to yourself and you
00:11:07.660 know you know I think you know what's really crucial is this and by the way it's not it's not to say it just to
00:11:11.660 yeah Musa is not saying that Allah doesn't want you to remember the Quran
00:11:15.340 it's good but what they fall into a mistake is is that now you know yourself
00:11:29.740 personally yeah but what happens is a lot of people into this when you take your
00:11:34.060 matters of righteousness and piety that you're trying to become and now start
00:11:38.860 judge judging now what you're doing is you're getting other people involved and
00:11:42.580 sometimes that has a big backlash this is specifically if you're let's say you're
00:11:46.480 on YouTube or you have a social problem that's a bigger problem because you know
00:11:49.200 what's gonna happen you're gonna be stuck in a very bad dilemma because when you
00:11:52.780 start off with practicing practicing practicing advising people even maybe
00:11:56.980 like refuting them have been harsh on them this that when you are tested with
00:12:00.940 fitna now you're at a crossroad because you're like okay now I'm
00:12:04.940 portraying this image exactly I've done this now I'm going for a test I need to
00:12:09.260 maintain it what am I gonna do now you're in a dilemma of do I carry
00:12:12.460 on when I can't because I'm being tested when I fall off what are people gonna say
00:12:16.240 now you're in a dilemma now if you do this to yourself and you're practicing and
00:12:20.080 you're doing it the fall off that you have is between you and Allah but when 0.91
00:12:24.280 you go on this thing of where you start judging people and doing this what
00:12:27.220 happens is now when you fall off people are going like ah what happened yeah do
00:12:31.240 you get it it makes you you it overburdens you even more not just the
00:12:35.680 religion but now people are gonna be like ah you're the same guy who was going on a mad
00:12:39.280 girl and look what you're doing now now it overburdens you more and now you feel 0.97
00:12:42.100 like a hypocrite now you're like yeah man look how I was before it's no point do you 0.97
00:12:45.580 get it and the shaitan comes so it's better for you to do what you're doing but 1.00
00:12:49.420 it's better for you to do in a private instead of being judgmental and work on
00:12:52.780 yourself and I think this is the reason why a lot of people fall into this by
00:12:56.020 nose-diving you know I'll give I'll give I'm happy to give my own personal
00:13:00.400 example in this year a lot of brothers around me they're practicing like yourself like
00:13:04.960 yourself like many other brothers as well that I hang around with and some of the brothers
00:13:08.800 sometimes they'll be going to a lot of classes and sometimes they'll push me to go to these
00:13:14.320 classes there's one specific brother mashallah may Allah bless him he pushes me to come to
00:13:18.160 these classes yeah and then now he doesn't know what I'm trying to do currently he doesn't know what
00:13:27.280 I'm trying to do currently yeah so I told him actually right now I've put my studying focus on
00:13:32.960 one specific topic I'm focusing on that now I know myself if I start going into that and that
00:13:39.740 and that you know this main topic I'm focusing on I'm gonna lose that and everything yes so now what
00:13:44.360 I choose to do is in my head even if the brothers are going to class I might come with them but my
00:13:48.920 main focus currently is on this specific topic for example Quran or hadith or whatnot that's all one
00:13:54.280 topic once I've done that then I'll go to the next topic so don't ever think that you need to be on
00:13:59.540 the same level as your friends yeah it's not necessary yeah make sure you set targets in
00:14:04.220 your own mind for a specific thing and do that and by the way another clarification which I think
00:14:08.600 we should clarify I'm sure we'll all agree on this yeah we're not talking about obligatory acts like
00:14:12.800 Salah yeah Salah is something you should be doing yeah you can't come and say I'm often burdening myself
00:14:17.900 Fajr no sorry yeah don't start saying oh Fajr you know why it's an overburdened we're talking about acts 0.99
00:14:26.960 that are Sunan we're talking about going to classes but it's affecting my iman I can't wait we're talking
00:14:31.940 about Qiyam and Layl you know extra fasting sometimes these things do wearing a thob outside wearing a hat
00:14:38.540 yes yes like portraying this overly pious image yeah of doing extra deeds when you don't need to do them
00:14:44.000 right now you don't need to have a burden and so it's young jealous people now the thing is what
00:14:48.140 is the Sunna is the Sunna that you go for hardship or the ease what is it so yeah that's a good
00:14:52.820 question because the hadith of the Prophet Muhammad SAW is narrated upon him that he said that he
00:14:58.100 wouldn't he would never be faced with a decision of two different things yeah except that he chose
00:15:02.880 the easiest of the two this is very crucial yeah by the way like emphasis on this yeah okay
00:15:08.960 so some scholars have have said that for example this would apply if there are two opinions yeah
00:15:20.000 yeah of Islam that you've got like opinion a opinion B and you know you're not much to it yeah maybe
00:15:26.780 they're both within a method that you follow whatever yeah and and one of the opinions is
00:15:32.540 hard out one of the pins easier and you don't know how to distinguish between those two opinions so
00:15:36.680 what's the Sunna to do so according to some scholars you gotta go for the easy you should go for the
00:15:41.600 easier option why because it's easier because it's the Sunna of the Prophet and also because it's the
00:15:46.160 it goes back to this hadith in a sense right so and that this kind of thinking is important in
00:15:51.800 the Western context yeah in the Western context is important some say no it's better to actually be
00:15:56.000 more safe than sorry and there's the hadith from Muhammad Bashir everyone yeah
00:16:00.680 this hadith in the halal is clear and haram is clear yeah but there's two opinions what do you mean by
00:16:15.620 grey matter if there's two valid opinions yeah yeah so that not many people know them so keep away from
00:16:22.520 the grey matters and whoever falls into the grey matters goes and falls into the haram but yeah
00:16:28.640 some people some people stretch this some people like very stretching at the end of the day if
00:16:32.660 there's something this is this is a key point to know there's two things one if there's a legitimate
00:16:37.220 opinion within the Sunni Islamic framework yeah and it's legit it's one of the school of four schools
00:16:43.160 of thought opinions or something like this yeah then anyone has the right to follow it no one can say
00:16:49.880 okay you do it wrong and by the way there's a difference between Al-Amr and Al-Ma'ruf and Al-Nahya
00:16:53.720 and Al-Munkar because you know that this is something a lot of people use I'm not going to say the
00:16:58.280 haram police there's no such thing as the haram police but this is some people use there is
00:17:03.560 there is hadith but not formally yeah maybe not in this country but Al-Amr and Al-Ma'ruf and Al-Nahya
00:17:10.400 and Al-Munkar is the idea of commanding to the good and forbidding to the evil yeah and there is a
00:17:16.040 difference between Al-Amr and Al-Ma'ruf and Al-Nahya and Al-Munkar Al-Amr and Al-Ma'ruf is for is telling
00:17:20.200 people to do good which can include it can include something which is worship which includes something
00:17:25.400 which is mustahab so for example if I tell someone you know you should read the Quran this is Al-Amr
00:17:30.360 and Al-Ma'ruf no doubt yeah but if he if that person says I don't want to read the Quran right
00:17:34.760 now you can't say well you're doing wrong you get it because this is Al-Nahya and Al-Munkar Al-Nahya and Al-Munkar is
00:17:40.040 forbidding the evil so Al-Amr and Al-Munkar are two different things and Al-Nahya and Al-Munkar is when
00:17:46.120 you're explicitly forbidding against the evil okay and when we say Munkar it has to be a something
00:17:53.720 which all of the Muslims agree upon for example drinking um for example doing something like 0.74
00:17:58.840 Zina, Riba, all of these things are things which all the Muslims agree upon together so if someone says
00:18:04.680 okay well do you know what I believe is Munkar for you to um I'm not going to use any controversial
00:18:09.480 example but let me use one controversial example yeah I'm not going to use any actually actually
00:18:13.960 let me change my mind but that's one opinion another thing is for example the Hanbalis where um
00:18:18.680 the Hanbalis they say like okay for example the Naqab is farmed yeah a lot of them will say that and a
00:18:22.120 lot of other people from the other schools of thought now a woman that's wearing the Naqab can't 1.00
00:18:26.200 turn around to a woman that's not wearing the Naqab and say listen what you're doing is Munkar what you're
00:18:30.200 doing is evil that you're not wearing the Naqab because the Naqab is farmed the Naqab is farmed according
00:18:34.920 to you yeah yes okay it's according to your school of thought it's fine that is a legitimate opinion
00:18:40.040 that you can follow but don't turn around to a woman who's not wearing the Naqab and say it's farmed
00:18:44.200 basically don't do with differences exactly where there is a which means that there's a
00:18:52.200 legitimate difference of opinion you're not allowed here legitimate that doesn't mean that you bring
00:18:56.360 start bringing some guy sitting in yeah sitting in Egypt you know exactly in a tent saying he said
00:19:01.640 all music is allowed so just to wrap it up yeah it's a nice conversation yeah what advice would
00:19:07.880 you give to youngsters i would give to youngsters the following advice yeah personally i would say
00:19:12.760 first and foremost if you're approaching the religion think of it as a treadmill if you if you're going 0.63
00:19:16.920 on the treadmill and you've never run before or if you've had very limited experience with running
00:19:20.520 yeah you want to put it on a level where you can maintain pace yeah that's really good you get it
00:19:25.960 so if you if you jump on the treadmill and it's on like number 14 or something yeah you'll be able
00:19:30.200 to run i'm not saying you won't be able to run but for how long for five seconds for how long is the
00:19:33.480 question you might even fall off you might even fly off yeah so the religion is quite similar if you
00:19:37.800 if you go into the religion with all of its sunnan you'll go on the treadmill and you'll fly off the 1.00
00:19:42.760 treadmill do you get it that's the first thing now with what you were talking about judgment
00:19:46.920 remember one golden piece of advice yeah just because you are told is haram and now there are
00:19:53.240 lots of things that the muslims generally speaking agree that is haram it's very clear things like
00:19:58.680 shirk things like kufr things like um drinking alcohol things like zina etc these things are definitely
00:20:04.280 haram yeah everyone agrees that is haram however those things which are which are potential there is a
00:20:11.800 khilaf mu'atabar which literally there is a difference of opinion which is regarded legitimately
00:20:16.760 within the sunni school floor if someone follows an opinion from any of those medahib or whatever
00:20:22.600 leave them alone you can't tell them what they're doing is wrong do not do that because that could
00:20:26.760 itself be wrong yeah so leave the people alone if they're doing something which is legit which has a
00:20:32.520 strong scholarly backing leave people alone because at the end of the day and the beard is a good example of
00:20:38.360 that the beard is a good example it is a perfect example of that yeah let's say there are three
00:20:43.000 or four main opinions of the beard one of them is to leave it completely so one of the opinions of
00:20:48.680 the beard is to leave it completely the other opinion is to have it like al-bani and others like
00:20:54.680 have it one fist like one of this opinion and whatever the third opinion is to have a kathif
00:21:00.440 yeah so so the lahya is just kind of thick okay and it's distinguished as a lahya okay and the other
00:21:09.640 opinion is is there some some some shafi's will go even further than that but we're not going to 0.97
00:21:13.240 mention that opinion now the point is this um if you see anyone doing any of those things say for
00:21:19.080 example you take the first opinion that the beard is should be left you see someone with a beard that's
00:21:23.480 his length or you see someone with a beard that's even less than fixed length what are you going to say to
00:21:27.560 them you're going to say what you did is monkah yeah that would that would make you that would
00:21:31.560 make you non-appreciative of the scholarly yeah uh opinion arrogance it's actually could be classed
00:21:36.680 as arrogance you think you know it yeah so things like that i would say keep away from it yeah and
00:21:41.240 also you know he's talking about the treadmill yeah just my conclusion is that yes sometimes you're
00:21:45.720 saying don't go to the treadmill when it's on 14 but then you have people of influence who are on
00:21:50.440 level 14 and they're getting new people and putting them on their treadmill yeah yeah this is another
00:21:54.920 problem because what you're doing is you're you're not feeding them slowly you're not telling them
00:22:00.200 okay look slowly what you're doing is just because you're on a certain level you're looking down on
00:22:04.200 people and you want them to be on your level but don't forget where you came from it's really
00:22:08.200 important because then you're advising people the wrong thing and people are jumping on board going
00:22:12.360 on a mad one and the next thing you know they're falling off you know some of these people yeah
00:22:16.440 they will when they started practicing they would be listening to uh certain speakers yeah yeah
00:22:25.080 now that they're up they will say to all of the young kids don't listen to these guys yeah
00:22:29.640 when these guys are the ones that made you practicing so it's like everyone has a let
00:22:35.080 everyone be on their journey everyone's on their journey don't make the religion hard on people
00:22:38.840 one thing that someone's coming in hellfire hellfire hellfire listen because these guys they
00:22:47.240 they'll take it and they'll run with it brother you know yeah and told us to do zinnah yeah
00:22:55.960 anyways yeah so we just wanted to share a message with you guys that look allah wants gender for you
