00:00:00.000 Do you pray five times a day?
00:00:01.000 Of course. Every single prayer in time.
00:00:03.500 Alhamdulillah. Changed my life. 1.00
00:00:05.000 And what inspired you to actually start praying five times?
00:00:08.000 I tell people I was surrounded around people who don't pray before. 0.98
00:00:15.000 Just imagine the people back in the day when they would have to travel certain distances for months or even years.
00:00:20.000 What is one thing that they would carry with them?
00:00:22.000 The Qur'an. Why? Because they did not have it on their mobile devices or their gadgets.
00:00:27.000 Brothers and sisters. Imagine you have an app. The Qur'ani app. 0.99
00:00:31.000 Which not only shows you how much rewards you get.
00:00:34.000 But reminds you to read the Qur'an.
00:00:36.000 Gives you reminders.
00:00:37.000 Download the Qur'ani app now and let it testify for you on your Muqiyama.
00:00:41.000 That you read it wherever you was.
00:00:44.000 Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. Brothers and sisters and dear friends.
00:00:47.000 Today's video is going to be about money kicks.
00:00:49.000 And this is a brother that I have seen his videos.
00:00:52.000 A couple of his videos when he was young.
00:00:53.000 To him growing up. Becoming an adult.
00:00:55.000 And alhamdulillah as you guys know.
00:00:57.000 Once you reach a certain age of our own sisters. We are accountable.
00:00:59.000 And the scholars obviously differ to what that age is.
00:01:02.000 But obviously seeing him being with a specific crowd.
00:01:05.000 And as we're young. I know I come from a jahlia.
00:01:07.000 Before Islam. Before I came to Islam. 0.96
00:01:08.000 Eleven years ago.
00:01:10.000 That your crowd has a massive influence on you.
00:01:12.000 The people that you're around could influence you greatly.
00:01:14.000 Alhamdulillah I was kind of a strong headed individual.
00:01:16.000 Where I had friends who would sell drugs.
00:01:18.000 Like literally. When I'm talking about drugs.
00:01:19.000 I'm talking about class A drugs.
00:01:21.000 I never saw drugs.
00:01:22.000 I and my friends will smoke all kinds of drugs.
00:01:23.000 Drink alcohol.
00:01:24.000 I did not find the need to fit in in that manner.
00:01:26.000 But they did influence me in different ways.
00:01:27.000 Many people are not as strong minded.
00:01:29.000 As I was even in jahlia.
00:01:31.000 To not do certain things and have boundaries.
00:01:33.000 But many people fall into many things.
00:01:35.000 Because they're not strong.
00:01:36.000 And this is the reason why it's so profound.
00:01:38.000 Like this is.
00:01:39.000 We can just say just by these narrations.
00:01:41.000 That the prophet is a true prophet.
00:01:43.000 He gives an example of a bad friend to a good friend.
00:01:45.000 But before we get to that inshallah.
00:01:46.000 Let's watch some videos.
00:01:47.000 Where there's one on a podcast.
00:01:48.000 And one video that was sent to me.
00:01:50.000 Of how Money Kicks actually admits that.
00:01:52.000 At one point.
00:01:53.000 Because of his bad friends.
00:01:54.000 He was around that we're not praying.
00:01:55.000 He wasn't praying.
00:01:56.000 And he changed his ways.
00:01:57.000 And another video where he actually.
00:01:59.000 Talks about giving dower.
00:02:00.000 And a lot of people.
00:02:01.000 A lot of us have a perception about.
00:02:03.000 People who are rich.
00:02:04.000 Or come from a welfare background.
00:02:05.000 We have this hatred.
00:02:06.000 Or whatever it is.
00:02:07.000 And we think bad of them.
00:02:08.000 And you know.
00:02:09.000 They're probably all about money.
00:02:10.000 We should not judge people.
00:02:11.000 But anyways.
00:02:12.000 Here are the two videos inshallah.
00:02:13.000 Let's watch them for ourselves.
00:02:14.000 Every single prayer.
00:02:15.000 In time.
00:02:16.000 Alhamdulillah.
00:02:17.000 Changed my life.
00:02:18.000 Alhamdulillah.
00:02:19.000 MashaAllah.
00:02:20.000 Allahu Mubarak.
00:02:21.000 I never felt more happy in my life.
00:02:22.000 More secured.
00:02:23.000 More protected.
00:02:24.000 More stronger.
00:02:25.000 More mentally strong.
00:02:26.000 Like it changed my life.
00:02:27.000 And what inspired you to actually.
00:02:29.000 Start praying five times.
00:02:30.000 I tell people.
00:02:31.000 I was surrounded.
00:02:32.000 Around people who don't pray. 0.99
00:02:33.000 Before.
00:02:34.000 And I surrounded myself.
00:02:35.000 With people who pray.
00:02:37.000 And I became like them.
00:02:39.000 You know.
00:02:40.000 So.
00:02:41.000 It's the power of the prophet.
00:02:42.000 Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
00:02:43.000 Said.
00:02:44.000 If you chill with someone.
00:02:45.000 45 days.
00:02:46.000 You're gonna get their morals.
00:02:47.000 I think.
00:02:48.000 And I became like them.
00:02:49.000 And Alhamdulillah.
00:02:50.000 I never went back.
00:02:51.000 MashaAllah.
00:02:52.000 You took a lot of rappers to the mosque.

00:04:53.000 As you can see.
00:04:54.000 The first one.
00:04:55.000 Really touched me.
00:04:56.000 SubhanAllah.
00:04:57.000 Like.
00:04:58.000 To know that his story.
00:04:59.000 Of going from.
00:05:00.000 Not praying salah.
00:05:01.000 You know.
00:05:02.000 Which could happen to any of us.
00:05:03.000 Repenting.
00:05:04.000 Changing his ways.
00:05:05.000 The Prophet peace be upon him.
00:05:06.000 Told us.
00:05:07.000 Something so beautiful.
00:05:08.000 The comparison.
00:05:09.000 The example he gives.
00:05:10.000 It's so amazing.
00:05:11.000 He said.
00:05:12.000 Somebody who sells atar.
00:05:13.000 Somebody is a musk salah. 0.99
00:05:14.000 Okay.
00:05:15.000 And sometimes.
00:05:16.000 When I'm around him.
00:05:17.000 Etc.
00:05:18.000 Even.
00:05:19.000 And there's many beneficial things.
00:05:20.000 That I take from him.
00:05:21.000 But even if he was not to say.
00:05:22.000 Anything.
00:05:23.000 Beneficial.
00:05:24.000 Or harmful.
00:05:25.000 The fact that you're around him.
00:05:26.000 You will leave smelling good.
00:05:27.000 And the Prophet peace be upon him.
00:05:28.000 Said.
00:05:29.000 A bad friend.
00:05:30.000 Is like a blacksmith.
00:05:31.000 Even if he says.
00:05:32.000 Nothing evil.
00:05:33.000 Or calls you to evil.
00:05:34.000 Being around him.
00:05:35.000 Will be.
00:05:36.000 Will cause you to be in smoke.
00:05:37.000 And dirt.
00:05:38.000 Or for those kind of things.
00:05:39.000 The Prophet peace be upon him.
00:05:40.000 Also told us.
00:05:41.000 That.
00:05:42.000 A person.
00:05:43.000 Is amongst the religion of his friend.
00:05:44.000 The reason why.
00:05:45.000 Allah tells us in the Quran.
00:05:46.000 To not take the Christians and the Jews. 1.00
00:05:47.000 As intimate friends.
00:05:48.000 They can be friends.
00:05:49.000 But not intimate.
00:05:50.000 Now.
00:05:51.000 There's such a powerful verse.
00:05:52.000 And this video might be.
00:05:53.000 Maybe watched by money kicks.
00:05:54.000 But.
00:05:55.000 I just wanted to share this.
00:05:56.000 With the audience.
00:05:57.000 And yourself.
00:05:58.000 If you're watching this.
00:05:59.000 SubhanAllah.
00:06:00.000 It is so powerful.
00:06:01.000 And it's in the Quran.
00:06:02.000 In Surah As-Fat.
00:06:03.000 Okay.
00:06:04.000 So Allah says in Surah 50. 0.73
00:06:05.000 I'll read from 50.
00:06:06.000 Yes.
00:06:07.000 It's so powerful.
00:06:08.000 And this shows you.
00:06:09.000 Who is talking.
00:06:10.000 Allah is talking in the future sense. 0.97
00:06:11.000 Yeah.
00:06:12.000 Then they will turn to each other.
00:06:13.000 Asking questions mutually.
00:06:14.000 A speaker from them will say.
00:06:16.000 I had a companion.
00:06:17.000 In the worldly life.
00:06:19.000 Who used to say to me.
00:06:20.000 Are you one of those who believe.
00:06:22.000 Is it when we have died.
00:06:24.000 And become dust and bones.
00:06:26.000 Is it true that we are going to be recompensed.
00:06:29.000 For our good deeds.
00:06:30.000 He the speaker will say to other people in paradise.
00:06:32.000 Would you like to.
00:06:34.000 Have a look at Jahannam.
00:06:35.000 This is so powerful.
00:06:36.000 Allah is telling us.
00:06:37.000 They are in Jannah.
00:06:39.000 And they are talking about.
00:06:40.000 An event that's occurring.
00:06:41.000 Would you like to have a look at Jahannam.
00:06:44.000 To find out what happened to that companion of yours.
00:06:47.000 Companion of mine.
00:06:48.000 So he will look.
00:06:49.000 And will see him in the middle of Jahannam.
00:06:51.000 He the speaker will say to his companion.
00:06:53.000 This is so powerful.
00:06:54.000 Seen in Jahannam.
00:06:55.000 Just put yourself in that situation.
00:06:56.000 SubhanAllah.
00:06:57.000 Allah is even giving us a warning in the future. 0.89
00:06:59.000 Not the past nations.
00:07:00.000 Allah is telling you a situation of a individual.
00:07:03.000 Who is going to be.
00:07:04.000 Who is in Jannah.
00:07:05.000 Yes.
00:07:06.000 Telling us.
00:07:07.000 SubhanAllah of his bad friend.
00:07:08.000 And you know what he is going to say.
00:07:09.000 By Allah.
00:07:10.000 You were going to almost ruin me.
00:07:12.000 Can you imagine.
00:07:13.000 That you have this bad friend.
00:07:15.000 Who is calling you to evil.
00:07:16.000 Not to pray salah.
00:07:17.000 Not to do this.
00:07:18.000 Party.
00:07:19.000 Clubbing.
00:07:20.000 Girls.
00:07:21.000 Zina. 0.80
00:07:22.000 All this kind of stuff.
00:07:23.000 And you manage to.
00:07:24.000 With the permission of Allah.
00:07:25.000 And say Alhamdulillah.
00:07:26.000 You manage to escape that.
00:07:27.000 And then you see the consequences.
00:07:29.000 Or the rewards of that.
00:07:30.000 He sees the consequences.
00:07:31.000 If he carries on.
00:07:32.000 And you only see it in Jannah.
00:07:33.000 Like this man did.
00:07:34.000 And he says.
00:07:35.000 By Allah.
00:07:36.000 You were going to almost ruin me.
00:07:38.000 But for the favour of my Lord.
00:07:40.000 I would have been among those produced for punishment.
00:07:43.000 Just like him.
00:07:44.000 Then the speaker will address the other people of paradise.
00:07:46.000 In delight and wonder.
00:07:47.000 Saying.
00:07:48.000 Are we not then to die anymore.
00:07:50.000 Beyond our first death.
00:07:51.000 Nor are we going to be punished.
00:07:53.000 This is indeed a great achievement.
00:07:55.000 For this kind of achievement.
00:07:56.000 All workers must work.
00:07:58.000 This is a direct.
00:07:59.000 Look.

00:08:03.000 Okay.
00:08:04.000 Like they say.

00:08:06.000 Will not know their future.
00:08:07.000 Not just previous nations.
00:08:08.000 Allah is telling you in the future.

00:08:14.000 Against those.
00:08:15.000 This is talking about.
00:08:16.000 Obviously a person.
00:08:17.000 Mushrik.
00:08:18.000 Who didn't believe in the hair after.
00:08:19.000 Etc.
00:08:20.000 Who is in the middle of Jahannam.
00:08:21.000 And this man.
00:08:22.000 With the permission of Allah.
00:08:23.000 With Allah's favour.
00:08:24.000 That escaped him.
00:08:25.000 And now saw his companion.
00:08:26.000 His friend.

00:08:35.000 So friendship.
00:08:36.000 Like we say.
00:08:37.000 And we talk about this.
00:08:38.000 We say.
00:08:39.000 Blood is thicker than water.
00:08:40.000 Meaning kinship.
00:08:41.000 We say.
00:08:42.000 Iman is thicker than blood. 1.00
00:08:43.000 Brothers and sisters.
00:08:44.000 Your true friends.
00:08:45.000 Your true sisters.
00:08:46.000 Is nothing but those who believe.
00:08:48.000 In the battle of Badr.
00:08:49.000 Family members were fighting each other.
00:08:50.000 On opposite sides.
00:08:51.000 You look at.
00:08:52.000 The story of Surah.
00:08:53.000 In the Quran.
00:08:54.000 Nuh.
00:08:55.000 When he said.
00:08:56.000 Made a dua to Allah. 0.67
00:08:57.000 And said.
00:08:58.000 Oh Allah.
00:08:59.000 Save my family.
00:09:00.000 When his son refused to come on the boat.
00:09:01.000 And he said.
00:09:02.000 I'm going to go to a higher mountain.
00:09:03.000 Etc.
00:09:04.000 Yes.
00:09:05.000 To be saved.
00:09:06.000 SubhanAllah.
00:09:07.000 Again destroyed himself.
00:09:08.000 Thinking if he goes to a higher mountain.
00:09:09.000 He's not going to die.
00:09:10.000 Yeah.
00:09:11.000 And then.
00:09:12.000 When he was drowned.
00:09:13.000 The family.
00:09:14.000 And Allah.
00:09:15.000 And says.
00:09:16.000 Your family is who?
00:09:17.000 The believers.

00:09:22.000 Your true friend.
00:09:23.000 Your true companion.
00:09:24.000 Is the believers.
00:09:25.000 Nobody else.
00:09:26.000 So brothers and sisters.
00:09:27.000 If you have bad friends.
00:09:28.000 Like money kicks.
00:09:29.000 Like he admits he did.

00:09:45.000 And gives them Quran.
00:09:46.000 His name should be called.
00:09:47.000 Money dawah.

00:09:49.000 Does that work?
00:09:50.000 Money kicks money dawah.

00:09:52.000 Alhamdulillah.
00:09:53.000 He is a man of dawah. 0.90
00:09:54.000 Why?
00:09:55.000 Because the Prophet peace be upon him said.
00:09:56.000 Convey from me.
00:09:57.000 Even if it's an ayah. 1.00
00:09:58.000 And may Allah bless and preserve him.
00:09:59.000 For giving dawah.
00:10:00.000 Correctifying his mistakes.

00:10:03.000 And finding true peace.

00:10:05.000 Indeed in the remembrance of hearts.
00:10:07.000 Do hearts find peace.
00:10:08.000 And if you forget my remembrance.
00:10:09.000 You will have a depressed life. 0.98
00:10:11.000 And I as a Muslim. 0.96
00:10:12.000 Who came to Islam. 0.98
00:10:13.000 11 years ago.
00:10:14.000 There is nothing in this world.
00:10:15.000 That can replace Islam. 1.00
00:10:16.000 So I invite you guys.
00:10:17.000 Who are not Muslims to Islam. 0.91
