00:00:02.180 I'd go through it a hundred times.
00:00:03.600 You ask me, would you go through the battle of the children again?

00:00:45.020 Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, brothers and sisters and dear friends.
00:00:48.040 Came across this video of Mufti Menk opening up about his divorce
00:00:52.340 and either having an issue with child custody or something around those times
00:00:57.400 of something to do with the trials of his children.
00:01:01.360 I don't know what he meant by it, but I found it really interesting.
00:01:03.560 Now, before we get into that reaction with the brothers and sisters,
00:01:05.240 I want to introduce you guys to two brand new channels.
00:01:07.940 Let's Play a Game and the Dadao Bros Podcast.
00:01:10.000 Alhamdulillah, these are two new shows where we invite guests
00:01:12.400 and I'm going to show you a little snippet on both of them, inshallah,
00:01:14.940 and they are coming soon, inshallah.
00:01:16.060 I want you guys to start subscribing to the channel
00:01:17.860 and I want to invite Mufti Menk.
00:01:19.580 I've messaged him myself officially on that show.
00:01:22.140 It's a show that involves cards, personal questions,
00:01:25.700 questions pertaining to marriage, the unseen world, you name it, inshallah.
00:01:30.860 Okay, different questions to get to know our guests on a personal level.
00:01:34.660 We've already recorded 10 episodes.
00:01:36.760 The channel will be coming out very soon.
00:01:39.380 Here's a little snippet of it and we're going to get straight to the Mufti Menk video.
00:01:41.880 Start subscribing, inshallah, and Mufti Menk, I want you on that show
00:01:44.260 and want to, inshallah, get people to know you on a personal level
00:01:47.440 and even myself.
00:01:48.900 The show's got amazing, unexpected, spontaneous events that happen in there
00:01:52.700 and the cards are very, very personal.
00:01:54.540 Here's a little snippet of the shows and let's go to the reaction video.
00:01:58.440 The main person who convinced me to become a Muslim
00:02:00.460 is now the person who dislikes me the worst in the world.
00:02:02.980 Between evil eye, black magic, jinn possession, which one would you prefer?
00:02:07.360 When you get to what happens like on the day of judgment,
00:02:09.300 some of that stuff's like doesn't sound very merciful.
00:02:11.120 Muhammad, peace be upon him, did not marry a child 1.00
00:02:13.100 and I can prove it to you in less than 45 seconds only using six points.
00:02:16.140 What was the initial thought when I said, I am a Muslim?
00:02:20.420 Becoming a Muslim doesn't mean you're a new person, it's an add-on. 1.00
00:02:24.740 Sadly, we must get caught up with these groups,
00:02:27.180 this person is an innovator, stay away from that person.
00:02:29.220 It's so toxic, it just sucks the mind out of them.
00:02:31.860 Most people live their life in alignment with what other people want them to do.
00:02:35.000 It's my thing with the wedding.
00:02:35.820 How do you want to live your life?
00:02:36.880 What's something you feel you failed as a Muslim?
00:02:39.820 Painful lesson you learned too late.
00:02:42.620 Call him out in the comments, guys.
00:02:44.040 Ali Dawah's guilt tripping me into giving money.
00:02:45.780 I like that.
00:02:47.060 You need to add that in the trailer.
00:02:49.760 Let's play a game.
00:02:52.180 Okay, here's the first video, inshallah, about his divorce
00:02:54.420 and his issues with his, I guess, kids from his ex-wife.
00:02:58.620 If you ask me, would you go through the divorce again,
00:03:00.720 I'd go through it a hundred times.
00:03:02.160 You ask me, would you go through the battle of the children again,
00:03:05.240 I'll go through it.
00:03:06.120 There was a time when I used to tell Allah, 0.99
00:03:09.060 that, oh Allah, I thank you for this issue that you've put in my life.
00:03:12.740 Subhanallah.
00:03:13.060 So you can see he's quite vague.
00:03:14.520 We don't know exactly what is that.
00:03:15.740 It's not that we're trying to be nosy,
00:03:17.280 but we don't know the battle with the children, etc.
00:03:19.280 Was it for custody?
00:03:20.220 Was it for seeing them?
00:03:20.900 We do not know, subhanallah.
00:03:22.480 There's another clip that gives us some clarity,
00:03:24.340 but inshallah, on the Let's Play game show,
00:03:25.680 maybe he can open up a little bit more, inshallah.
00:03:27.640 I really want him on the show,
00:03:29.140 and it'll be absolutely epic,
00:03:30.200 and it's going to be the most epic podcast
00:03:31.780 in the Muslim Seenbron sisters.
00:03:33.520 But let's carry on, inshallah.
00:03:34.340 Let's see what he had to say about,
00:03:35.780 and it's very important lessons to learn from this as well.
00:03:37.460 That's beautiful.
00:03:38.420 That's beautiful.
00:03:39.160 Guess why?
00:03:39.720 Why?
00:03:40.560 There's something amazing.
00:03:41.920 Something amazing.
00:03:42.960 What is it?
00:03:43.740 Because I used to tell Allah,
00:03:45.020 I read, and I read up the Quran, sunnah,
00:03:47.480 and knowledge increased.
00:03:48.940 Allah says,
00:03:49.400 He will definitely test you.
00:03:51.200 There's no one on earth
00:03:52.100 who doesn't have a major test,
00:03:53.520 some major test.
00:03:54.740 Right?
00:03:55.180 I used to say,
00:03:55.740 Oh Allah,
00:03:56.640 if this is my test,
00:03:57.740 I thank you,
00:03:58.380 because I'm managing it.
00:03:59.760 I'm coping.
00:04:00.540 Wow.
00:04:00.740 I'm going.
00:04:01.420 Wow.
00:04:01.980 I'm alive.
00:04:02.580 I'm okay.
00:04:03.020 I'm drinking.
00:04:03.640 I'm eating.
00:04:04.100 I got a house.
00:04:04.620 I got a home.
00:04:05.100 I got a family.
00:04:05.720 I got kids.
00:04:06.320 I got whatever, whatever.
00:04:07.180 And you know what?
00:04:07.900 This is something, yes,
00:04:08.740 I want to solve it.
00:04:09.520 It's hurting me.
00:04:10.140 It's paining me,
00:04:10.740 whatever, whatever.
00:04:11.320 But I thank you,
00:04:12.860 because you've given me an issue
00:04:14.360 that I can cope with.
00:04:16.540 MashaAllah.
00:04:17.240 So this is a time
00:04:19.060 when I looked at it
00:04:20.680 from a totally different dimension.
00:04:22.780 Subhanallah.
00:04:23.180 That is profound.
00:04:24.300 Subhanallah.
00:04:25.020 Allah says in the Quran,
00:04:25.960 if you are grateful to me,
00:04:26.840 I will increase you.
00:04:27.900 Increase you in what Allah
00:04:28.740 subhanallah doesn't go into details
00:04:29.860 of what he increases you in.
00:04:31.580 It can be.
00:04:31.980 People think increase you in what?
00:04:33.020 He can increase you
00:04:34.000 in something presented to the unseen.
00:04:35.540 He can increase you
00:04:36.700 in beneficial knowledge.
00:04:37.640 He can increase you
00:04:38.700 in gratitude.
00:04:40.440 When he was going through
00:04:41.080 that situation,
00:04:42.160 he's talked about his divorce before,
00:04:43.600 but this is the first time
00:04:44.160 he's talking about
00:04:44.700 some custody, child issues,
00:04:46.120 whatever it is for that matter.
00:04:47.220 And subhanallah,
00:04:47.940 Allah got him through it.
00:04:48.940 But he looked at his blessings.
00:04:50.300 And that's why the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said,
00:04:51.320 do not look at those above you
00:04:52.540 and be ungrateful to Allah.
00:04:53.320 Rather look at those below you
00:04:54.400 and be grateful to Allah subhanallah.
00:04:55.700 There's another clip.
00:04:56.340 He goes into a bit more detail
00:04:57.840 about when his children
00:04:58.860 I think reach the age of 18.
00:05:00.400 But I promise this is an important issue.
00:05:01.680 Every single one of us
00:05:02.560 go through something.
00:05:03.320 I'm going through a condition
00:05:04.340 that I'm losing my eyes.
00:05:05.440 I'm going blind slowly.
00:05:06.840 But I know Allah subhanallah 0.99
00:05:07.560 will never let me down.
00:05:08.400 And I know Allah will give me a way out.
00:05:10.180 Even if that means
00:05:10.900 I get a dog
00:05:11.680 and the dog takes me from A to B,
00:05:12.960 which is a possibility
00:05:13.600 with my eye condition
00:05:14.420 at the age of 40
00:05:15.240 that I will need a guide dog,
00:05:16.680 which I'm going to call the Dower Dog.
00:05:17.860 But the thing is this,
00:05:18.620 Allah will get me out of it. 1.00
00:05:19.680 And I know about seven, eight years ago,
00:05:21.080 one day I might open up
00:05:21.740 about my personal stuff
00:05:22.580 that I went through.
00:05:23.080 Madness.
00:05:24.800 Okay, I know what I went through.
00:05:25.920 If I told you guys
00:05:26.680 what I've been through,
00:05:27.340 Wallahi, your jaw will drop.
00:05:29.600 Wallahi, your jaw will drop.
00:05:30.740 And I do not know
00:05:31.380 how I've survived it.
00:05:32.420 Allah will get you out of it 1.00
00:05:33.600 as long as you have
00:05:34.600 a relationship with him.
00:05:35.440 Let's go to the next clip inshallah.
00:05:36.900 Subhanallah, this is why
00:05:38.040 I want Mufti Mank 1.00
00:05:38.740 on the Let's Play A Game show
00:05:39.620 because we want to get to know him
00:05:41.300 a bit better on a personal level.
00:05:42.560 That's what the show is about.
00:05:43.720 We've had 10 episodes
00:05:44.900 in different guests.
00:05:46.320 Subhanallah.
00:05:46.920 And we unravel
00:05:47.900 and understand them
00:05:48.860 as a human being
00:05:49.740 and get to know them
00:05:50.540 on a personal level.
00:05:51.480 Let's watch this clip as well.
00:05:52.340 How it ended is
00:05:53.320 at a certain point
00:05:55.080 when the kids turned 18,
00:05:57.960 when the oldest child turned 18,
00:06:00.380 naturally,
00:06:01.640 the whole situation was such that
00:06:04.660 people had softened up a little bit,
00:06:08.000 I'd like to think,
00:06:08.740 realizing that it's not the right thing.
00:06:12.400 And so...
00:06:12.960 Who?
00:06:13.660 Yes, on their side.
00:06:14.920 So when they came back to me
00:06:17.160 on their own,
00:06:19.220 I just decided the Fatah Makkah story
00:06:21.740 and I just decided
00:06:23.600 the Yusuf Alayhi Salaam story
00:06:24.980 and I just decided,
00:06:26.800 you know,
00:06:27.060 it's a day of release.
00:06:27.980 I will never, ever
00:06:29.480 like to speak bad about them.
00:06:31.620 Wow.
00:06:32.120 I don't want to
00:06:32.940 because they were very good people
00:06:34.640 besides in one or two things.
00:06:36.440 Very, very honorable
00:06:37.420 of Mufti Mank to say that.
00:06:39.160 Subhanallah,
00:06:39.440 it does seem like his kids,
00:06:41.280 he didn't get to see his kids
00:06:42.260 or for whatever reason,
00:06:43.040 Subhanallah,
00:06:43.580 may Allah Subhanallah
00:06:44.120 make it easy for him,
00:06:44.900 but when they reached the age of eight
00:06:46.200 and this was very important
00:06:47.360 because,
00:06:48.100 and I believe Mufti Mank
00:06:48.820 should talk about this more
00:06:49.740 because there are so many fathers
00:06:51.500 and men out there
00:06:52.100 who have gone through absolute hell
00:06:53.380 and I'm not seeing his situation,
00:06:55.640 I'm taking that situation out,
00:06:56.960 forget that,
00:06:57.940 that cannot see their children
00:06:59.060 for whatever reason,
00:06:59.800 et cetera,
00:07:00.060 and people make mistakes,
00:07:00.800 like he said,
00:07:01.700 and we should talk,
00:07:03.340 you know,
00:07:03.600 not talk ill of,
00:07:04.900 you know,
00:07:05.100 if you have exes
00:07:05.720 or whatever,
00:07:06.080 et cetera,
00:07:06.940 and whatever he went to
00:07:07.580 and he's still graceful
00:07:08.580 and he's talking about it,
00:07:09.440 but there are a lot of men out there
00:07:10.760 who are going through absolute hell,
00:07:12.620 women using their children against him
00:07:13.920 and this is evil,
00:07:15.300 pure evil,
00:07:16.380 Subhanallah,
00:07:16.940 I don't want to say this is a situation,
00:07:18.020 but Subhanallah,
00:07:18.980 at least his kids
00:07:19.640 softened up towards age of eight
00:07:20.860 and whatever the reason
00:07:21.380 we're on the ins and outs
00:07:21.980 that's not the general speculations,
00:07:23.420 but they came back to him,
00:07:24.540 Subhanallah,
00:07:24.780 and he gives a very beautiful example here,
00:07:26.060 listen.
00:07:26.720 I believe I'm a very good person,
00:07:28.580 I also have one or two things
00:07:29.920 that people might say,
00:07:31.320 but on this point,
00:07:32.080 this guy is not right,
00:07:33.320 so if a person has
00:07:34.620 two million beautiful points
00:07:36.500 and two really bad points,
00:07:38.040 it makes them a very,
00:07:39.540 very good person.
00:07:40.460 Exactly.
00:07:40.860 Have you heard the example
00:07:42.640 I always give about
00:07:43.700 restaurants,
00:07:44.760 when you want to eat,
00:07:45.540 you look at the review.
00:07:46.340 Please, please.
00:07:47.300 When you want to eat someone,
00:07:48.260 I remember that one,
00:07:50.120 correct.
00:07:50.640 If a place is between
00:07:51.700 four and five star,
00:07:53.020 you will eat.
00:07:54.040 So it's 4.5,
00:07:55.060 that means there's
00:07:55.760 10% things wrong with this place,
00:07:57.960 but I'm going to go there
00:07:59.200 because 10% is nothing.
00:08:01.260 So the same applies to us,
00:08:03.260 if someone gives me
00:08:04.080 a 4.5 review,
00:08:05.320 it means there's a few people
00:08:06.300 who don't like me.
00:08:07.020 But guess what?
00:08:08.080 The vast majority,
00:08:09.260 they actually,
00:08:09.800 that's a very good review.
00:08:11.660 That's a very good analogy.
00:08:14.020 I'm going to use that,
00:08:14.660 subhanAllah,
00:08:14.980 very, very beautiful analogy.
00:08:17.260 And once again,
00:08:17.760 brothers and sisters,
00:08:18.440 we are all going through something.
00:08:19.800 Anyone that's watching this,
00:08:20.660 you're going through something,
00:08:21.340 Ramadan,
00:08:21.740 or whatever it is,
00:08:23.520 we all going through.
00:08:24.320 Wallahi,
00:08:24.840 every single person,
00:08:26.200 the person is laughing
00:08:27.000 and cheerful and this,
00:08:27.880 that,
00:08:28.240 the couple that you see walk in
00:08:29.380 and they look like
00:08:29.900 the lovey-dovey
00:08:30.580 and other people,
00:08:31.500 every single person on earth
00:08:34.020 is going to be tested.
00:08:35.520 Allah will not unjustly test
00:08:36.760 one than the other.
00:08:38.040 Allah will,
00:08:38.720 you know what?
00:08:39.580 Your test is tailored to you.
00:08:41.340 I'm losing my eyesight.
00:08:42.760 If my test was given to you,
00:08:43.920 you might lose it.
00:08:44.980 If my test,
00:08:45.980 if your test was given to me,
00:08:47.040 I might lose it.
00:08:48.400 How Allah's catered it 1.00
00:08:49.860 and tailored it for us.
00:08:51.020 There was a brother
00:08:51.520 who lost his child
00:08:52.300 and he was saying,
00:08:53.440 Alhamdulillah,
00:08:53.880 Wallahi,
00:08:54.360 I was shocked,
00:08:55.920 amazed.
00:08:57.140 And I thought,
00:08:57.460 subhanAllah,
00:08:57.660 you know what?
00:08:58.020 How Allah's tailored it, 0.91
00:08:59.020 that his test is specific for him.
00:09:00.140 Not that he wasn't hurt.
00:09:01.480 Not that he was saying,
00:09:02.000 Alhamdulillah,
00:09:02.340 but he showed gratitude
00:09:04.780 and perseverance.
00:09:06.820 And I was like,
00:09:07.240 bro,
00:09:07.320 if that was my test,
00:09:07.880 that would have crumbled me.
00:09:09.220 And if he was tested
00:09:10.160 with my eyesight situation,
00:09:11.240 he would be like,
00:09:11.600 yo, bro,
00:09:11.820 I can't do that.
00:09:12.880 And that's how gracious
00:09:13.740 and merciful Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is.
00:09:15.680 Just know whatever you're going through,
00:09:16.760 Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala 0.81
00:09:17.320 has your back.
