00:00:00.000 Pray five times a day, we're giving charity
00:00:02.800 We fast in Ramadan, Hajj is our pilgrimage
00:00:06.140 We say there's no God but Allah
00:00:08.620 And Muhammad is his final messenger
00:00:12.280 The ones on the know it's a sacrifice
00:00:16.540 But it's a small price to pay for all the rewards
00:00:20.900 We'll get from Allah
00:00:23.680 In Allah
00:00:26.340 They wanna know about Islam
00:00:28.580 We'll give them dawah
00:00:30.240 Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh brothers and sisters and dear friends
00:00:34.960 Welcome to the house
00:00:36.720 As you guys know, this is an area where we like to talk about mellow stuff, chill stuff, relaxing stuff
00:00:41.720 And obviously this does not mean we don't have people of knowledge when we're talking about this kind of stuff
00:00:45.260 So that's what we've got, Sheikh Mohammed Uthman
00:00:48.000 Does he write?
00:00:49.980 Does he write, yeah?
00:00:51.260 Alhamdulillah, it's a good job we'll check
00:00:52.200 Yeah, and we've got some layman on the show as well
00:00:56.100 Awam, Awam as they call him
00:00:59.320 Okay
00:01:00.700 Actually I'm not even the host here, we're just chilling there
00:01:05.540 So anyway, so basically just get, let's get straight to the point
00:01:07.720 Inshallah, yeah?
00:01:08.620 So we've got our dear Shakhir as well, Inshallah
00:01:11.040 What we're gonna do is we're gonna watch a video about
00:01:12.980 Brother FuzzyTube who actually took his shahada very recently
00:01:16.020 And on this video, he's with Prophet Adam Saleh
00:01:19.480 And Inshallah, just to make things very clear
00:01:22.780 So it's a disclaimer
00:01:23.520 Yeah
00:01:23.880 Nobody's perfect
00:01:26.060 May Allah guide us all
00:01:27.320 And when we say our statements and what we say
00:01:29.360 Wallahi we do not say that we're better than them
00:01:31.100 Wallahi Allah can guide whoever he likes
00:01:33.860 In the house of the children of Adam
00:01:36.000 In the house, the things of Harukhna
00:01:37.320 He changes it
00:01:38.320 Exactly
00:01:38.920 So anything that we say, we do not say it out of arrogance or self-righteousness
00:01:42.780 But it's just an advice to them and to ourselves
00:01:44.260 So just to make something clear
00:01:45.580 We are not in any way, shape or form
00:01:47.920 What's that word?
00:01:50.980 I don't know what you're saying right now
00:01:52.400 Oh, that's it
00:01:54.620 Endorsing
00:01:55.580 Yeah, we're not endorsing in a way
00:01:57.460 And we say this out of humbleness
00:01:58.640 Because there's certain things
00:02:00.080 The brothers do that we disagree with
00:02:01.920 So we don't want to make it seem like
00:02:03.100 We endorse in their actions as well, Inshallah
00:02:05.620 But anyways, let's get straight to the point, Inshallah
00:02:07.740 So this is the video we're going to watch
00:02:09.140 And understand where he is coming from, Inshallah
00:02:11.640 Here's the thing, here's the thing
00:02:12.860 In life, when you have a vision for something
00:02:15.160 The reason they tell you
00:02:16.160 The reason J. Cole said
00:02:17.120 If they don't know your dream
00:02:18.320 Then they can't shoot them down
00:02:19.900 Because the way we are built as people
00:02:21.760 If we announce our dreams
00:02:23.620 Human nature is set out to hate on them
00:02:27.520 So J. Cole is saying
00:02:28.640 Protect your dreams
00:02:29.800 He's not saying
00:02:30.640 Don't tell the world your dreams
00:02:31.860 That's not how the universe works
00:02:33.280 He's saying
00:02:33.740 Protect your dreams
00:02:35.100 If you announce your dreams
00:02:36.480 And your vision
00:02:37.280 You're announcing a reality
00:02:39.160 They can't conceive in their consciousness yet
00:02:41.580 So when I'm talking about a world
00:02:43.280 That has world peace
00:02:44.780 They don't see it yet
00:02:46.520 I do
00:02:47.040 I see my home country free
00:02:48.840 I see Palestine and Israel
00:02:50.600 Sharing common land
00:02:51.760 He seems like a very passionate guy
00:02:54.000 One thing that came to mind
00:02:55.240 Just briefly, yeah
00:02:55.940 Is that
00:02:56.500 What he mentioned about
00:02:57.400 Don't tell people your dreams
00:02:58.680 The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
00:03:00.340 Actually mentioned this, right?
00:03:01.080 You mentioned this, right?
00:03:01.360 No, but you can tell people
00:03:03.640 If you have a good dream
00:03:04.320 First, the dreams are three types
00:03:05.320 You have dreams that are from Shaytan
00:03:07.020 You have dreams of things
00:03:08.320 That you've seen in the day
00:03:09.200 And you've thought about it
00:03:10.020 And you have dreams that are from Allah
00:03:11.360 Subhanahu
00:03:11.860 By the way, I think
00:03:12.880 May Allah bless you
00:03:16.140 When he's talking about dreams
00:03:18.300 He's talking about life
00:03:19.200 Achievements in life
00:03:21.760 Yeah?
00:03:23.280 All right
00:03:23.760 It's okay though
00:03:27.120 The hadith that I was in the rain
00:03:31.080 That's true
00:03:33.800 There's three types of dreams
00:03:35.200 One from Allah
00:03:36.280 One from Shaytan
00:03:36.780 One from the desire
00:03:37.440 What I was talking about
00:03:39.700 May Allah bless you
00:03:40.280 That was an amazing reaction
00:03:41.580 I think people are going to love this
00:03:42.640 It's very, really funny
00:03:43.340 Inshallah
00:03:43.600 May Allah bless you
00:03:44.220 It's a dream
00:03:45.120 You said the hadith
00:03:45.660 You know what I was talking about?
00:03:46.580 I was talking about
00:03:47.040 You know what the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said
00:03:47.820 If you want to do something
00:03:48.900 You have to be a business
00:03:50.000 Be a marriage
00:03:50.460 Do not tell the people
00:03:52.240 Absolutely
00:03:52.720 Yeah
00:03:53.020 Is that a daft in the hadith?
00:03:55.960 Seek help in your affairs
00:03:58.020 By kitma
00:03:59.020 By secrecy
00:03:59.560 By secrecy
00:04:00.240 So telling your dreams to people
00:04:01.420 The ishkal here
00:04:02.080 Is that obviously
00:04:02.560 You want to be careful of ayn
00:04:03.680 That bad eye is true
00:04:08.080 And even one of the sahaba
00:04:09.340 The reason the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said
00:04:11.000 Is because one of the sahaba
00:04:11.780 He was getting unchanged
00:04:12.660 And some of the sahaba
00:04:14.060 Sold up off his body
00:04:14.980 He became very
00:04:16.780 SubhanAllah
00:04:18.140 Because of his skin
00:04:18.800 Because of his skin
00:04:19.540 Because of something
00:04:20.240 Mashallah
00:04:20.580 So
00:04:21.240 Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said
00:04:22.280 He said
00:04:23.860 Mashallah
00:04:24.500 Or
00:04:25.500 Invoke the barakah of Allah
00:04:26.740 Upon him
00:04:27.120 So
00:04:27.280 You know
00:04:28.320 To be honest with you
00:04:29.060 You should keep your dreams
00:04:31.220 Secret
00:04:31.460 Except for those whom you trust
00:04:32.720 And those whom you seek compliance
00:04:34.460 You know
00:04:34.780 What he's saying
00:04:36.920 Is in Islam
00:04:38.060 I see Trump being able to look me in the eye
00:04:40.940 And saying
00:04:41.380 You know what
00:04:42.320 I love you
00:04:43.900 Humans first
00:04:45.520 If they saw
00:04:46.460 Because I have clips of us in Australia
00:04:48.780 When I'm going crazy
00:04:50.260 Or in LA
00:04:51.120 When I'm wearing nothing but a towel
00:04:52.620 Telling you guys
00:04:53.440 This is what's going to happen
00:04:54.240 If they saw that
00:04:55.720 That's when they're going to call me crazy
00:04:57.740 That's why
00:04:58.400 I don't show them that
00:04:59.860 Until
00:05:00.760 Staple Center night
00:05:02.760 You guys want to see crazy
00:05:04.040 Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
00:05:05.340 Makes no mistakes
00:05:06.360 No mistakes
00:05:07.440 He's going to do things in your life
00:05:08.820 If nothing
00:05:09.420 That's the first time I've heard him say
00:05:10.420 Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
00:05:11.260 And it's actually
00:05:11.940 I'm really happy
00:05:12.660 You know
00:05:12.960 The first time I've seen him
00:05:13.740 Because he's been through a lot of stuff
00:05:15.100 Yeah
00:05:15.300 But for him to say
00:05:16.080 Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
00:05:16.840 Like it's
00:05:17.300 I don't know
00:05:18.220 What's he saying
00:05:18.840 I don't know
00:05:19.140 I know
00:05:19.840 I know
00:05:19.860 I know
00:05:20.040 I know
00:05:20.160 I know
00:05:20.360 I know
00:05:20.400 I know
00:05:20.440 I know
00:05:20.880 I know
00:05:21.000 I know
00:05:21.080 I know
00:05:21.500 I know
00:05:22.000 I know
00:05:22.500 I know
00:05:23.000 I know
00:05:23.500 I know
00:05:23.580 I know
00:05:24.000 I know
00:05:30.760 My mom
00:05:31.520 She wears a hijab
00:05:32.240 Alhamdulillah
00:05:32.760 My older brother
00:05:33.760 He's very religious
00:05:34.940 I got set up in a dynamic
00:05:36.780 Where it was forced to me
00:05:38.480 And I didn't get to understand it
00:05:40.100 And I
00:05:40.660 Exactly
00:05:41.140 This is exactly
00:05:41.880 One of the biggest problems
00:05:42.760 That you face
00:05:43.280 You are told to do something
00:05:45.160 But you're not explained
00:05:46.100 Why
00:05:46.320 You're just told to do as you say
00:05:47.480 And this is the reason why
00:05:48.860 Sadly
00:05:49.300 We do have people who leave
00:05:51.200 The religion
00:05:51.820 Why
00:05:52.140 Because they've been
00:05:53.120 Told to do something
00:05:54.280 They don't understand
00:05:55.120 And when they are
00:05:56.760 When they come across
00:05:57.720 Doubts
00:05:58.420 And shubha
00:05:58.780 They automatically
00:06:00.380 Think okay
00:06:00.920 I don't even believe it fully
00:06:02.500 Now you've just
00:06:03.140 You get what I'm trying to say
00:06:03.780 The thing is
00:06:04.180 We focused on the outward aspects of Islam
00:06:06.820 Do this
00:06:07.600 Don't do this
00:06:08.500 Wear this
00:06:09.200 Don't wear this
00:06:09.940 But there's no explanation of why
00:06:11.140 There's no higher objective
00:06:12.460 Or higher purpose
00:06:13.280 As to understand
00:06:13.960 What is Islam to us
00:06:15.500 What does Allah
00:06:16.220 Want from us
00:06:17.280 And why does he want this from us
00:06:18.400 Exactly
00:06:18.800 That's what is really profound
00:06:20.160 The fact that he's telling you
00:06:21.040 Why
00:06:21.420 What caused it
00:06:22.120 Allah
00:06:22.260 Well I just think that
00:06:25.140 One of the misconceptions
00:06:26.540 That people do sometimes have
00:06:28.220 Is that they
00:06:28.680 They use this argument
00:06:30.360 They say that
00:06:30.840 Well my parents
00:06:32.340 Forced me to be
00:06:33.060 Like religious
00:06:33.580 And stuff like that
00:06:34.260 It's true that
00:06:35.360 That can be
00:06:35.820 The case
00:06:37.080 The reality sometimes
00:06:37.900 But you also have to look at
00:06:39.600 The indirect influences
00:06:42.420 That have caused you
00:06:43.840 To be who you are today
00:06:44.820 For instance
00:06:45.420 The society
00:06:47.340 And its expectations
00:06:48.480 The society in which you live in
00:06:50.200 And the expectations
00:06:50.920 Of that society
00:06:51.780 Has socialised you
00:06:52.920 To be
00:06:53.700 And think
00:06:54.260 In a certain way
00:06:55.000 Certain things
00:06:55.960 That you're saying now
00:06:56.700 Like I was just watching
00:06:57.420 What you were saying
00:06:57.960 About dreams
00:06:58.560 And all these kind of things
00:06:59.580 And peace
00:07:00.100 And all of these
00:07:00.660 These are all symbolic
00:07:02.540 Or they're a result
00:07:03.860 Of socialisation
00:07:06.060 The process of socialisation
00:07:07.100 So you're not the way you are
00:07:09.160 Just because your parents
00:07:10.980 Tell you to be like that
00:07:12.340 You are like that
00:07:13.400 Because your society
00:07:14.100 Tells you to be like that
00:07:14.880 That is actually
00:07:15.660 This is what
00:07:16.180 Nabi Sallam actually mentions
00:07:17.480 That every son of Adam
00:07:20.960 Is born upon the fitra
00:07:21.920 And then his
00:07:23.000 The fitra
00:07:23.440 Which is Islam
00:07:24.040 Which is Islam
00:07:24.960 The natural disposition
00:07:25.860 Predisposition
00:07:26.180 To believe in and worshipping God
00:07:27.740 To believe that Allah
00:07:28.460 Is deserving of worship
00:07:30.380 And of course
00:07:32.340 It's his environment
00:07:33.140 That changes him
00:07:33.780 It's his parents
00:07:34.300 Either make him to a Jew
00:07:36.900 Christian
00:07:42.340 But also it's a society
00:07:43.360 And at Sallam
00:07:44.680 That's exactly what
00:07:45.240 We're trying to do
00:07:45.680 Because we're trying
00:07:46.060 To deconstruct those false ideas
00:07:47.660 And reconstruct it
00:07:48.720 With proper truth
00:07:49.920 You know
00:07:50.440 And one of the things
00:07:51.560 Because we need to understand
00:07:52.440 Is that society
00:07:53.580 Flows these things at you
00:07:54.680 That's why you're coming
00:07:55.640 With the way you're thinking
00:07:56.500 Be it for example
00:07:57.440 Whatever
00:07:59.020 Your ideas you're coming
00:08:00.000 But you get it
00:08:00.520 This is what you're being taught
00:08:01.940 You're being nurtured
00:08:03.000 So it's not just your parents
00:08:04.540 Directly or indirectly
00:08:05.720 Yeah exactly
00:08:06.360 And I wasn't able to go to my mom
00:08:08.400 And say
00:08:08.740 The same way that you're promising me
00:08:11.620 That our religion is correct
00:08:12.880 What about this mother
00:08:14.560 To her religion
00:08:15.340 Or to her kid
00:08:16.340 This mother to her kid
00:08:17.560 Who's to say
00:08:18.400 Who's right and who's wrong
00:08:19.380 She said
00:08:20.320 When you feel it in your heart
00:08:21.860 Is when you know
00:08:22.580 She said
00:08:23.260 Go study other religions
00:08:24.380 Go read
00:08:25.400 Go understand
00:08:26.360 And it's what enters your heart
00:08:27.960 I left religion entirely
00:08:29.500 I have tattoos
00:08:30.840 I'm not a perfect person
00:08:32.480 By any means
00:08:33.120 But Allah accepts me
00:08:34.020 All the same
00:08:34.620 So yesterday
00:08:35.860 This is going to be powerful right here
00:08:37.160 So I'm learning that
00:08:39.020 Everything that has been happening to me
00:08:40.600 Good and bad
00:08:41.080 The bomb threat
00:08:41.840 Alhamdulillah
00:08:42.960 The next morning
00:08:43.820 When it first happened
00:08:44.960 I cried and I said
00:08:46.080 Allah why did you do this to me
00:08:47.600 You promised me
00:08:49.360 I thought in my prayers
00:08:50.520 But I realized
00:08:51.540 He didn't promise me
00:08:52.980 That's what I wanted
00:08:54.500 He gave me what I needed
00:08:55.520 Because now
00:08:56.400 Wow that's so powerful
00:08:57.460 Do you see what he said there
00:08:59.160 He goes
00:09:00.420 Allah didn't give me what I wanted
00:09:02.040 He gave me what I needed
00:09:03.560 And this is a very big issue bro
00:09:05.920 Because you know
00:09:06.260 With a lot of youngsters
00:09:06.920 It's always
00:09:07.460 Because we live in a society
00:09:08.420 Where we want immediate
00:09:09.260 If I want something
00:09:10.480 I want it now
00:09:11.420 We live in a fast life
00:09:12.700 Fast cars
00:09:13.400 Fast food
00:09:14.880 Everything is just
00:09:15.760 I want something
00:09:16.280 Boom I'll get it
00:09:16.760 Amazon Prime
00:09:17.340 Boom
00:09:17.640 I'm going to order something
00:09:18.260 It's going to be the next day
00:09:19.020 We live in a society
00:09:20.100 Where we want things immediately
00:09:21.140 Desires
00:09:21.920 It's just boom
00:09:22.800 We live
00:09:23.040 We're not going to be coming
00:09:23.780 Like animals sadly
00:09:24.600 What he said is very profound
00:09:26.360 Because the youngster
00:09:26.940 This is exactly what the youngster
00:09:27.980 Go for
00:09:28.340 Do you get what I'm trying to say
00:09:28.940 I want this
00:09:30.140 I want this
00:09:31.160 I want this
00:09:31.740 But the whole point of Islam
00:09:33.240 Is to
00:09:33.660 What makes us different
00:09:34.740 Between the angels
00:09:35.460 The angels do as they are told
00:09:37.580 The animals do
00:09:38.640 With what their instincts do
00:09:40.100 What their instincts
00:09:41.240 Cause them to do
00:09:43.880 Yeah
00:09:44.020 Okay
00:09:44.260 Why
00:09:45.140 If
00:09:45.680 And this is a statement
00:09:46.420 That I think we mentioned today
00:09:47.420 I think Sheikh Mohammed mentioned today
00:09:49.120 Is that
00:09:49.860 If you want to be better
00:09:50.760 Than the angels
00:09:51.460 Yes
00:09:51.960 What was the same
00:09:53.380 I forgot
00:09:53.660 If you want to be better
00:09:54.440 If you want to be like the animals
00:09:56.860 You act on your desires
00:09:58.220 You let your desires take forth
00:10:00.700 But if you want to be better than the angels
00:10:02.400 There was a statement
00:10:03.820 I'm trying to remember
00:10:04.380 Sorry
00:10:04.680 If you want to be better than the angels
00:10:07.160 You use your akul
00:10:08.760 Something along those lines
00:10:09.500 I can't remember
00:10:10.020 Yeah
00:10:10.180 But in a nutshell
00:10:11.220 What it is
00:10:11.660 Is that
00:10:11.960 We need to understand
00:10:12.800 That look
00:10:13.220 It's not what we want
00:10:14.600 But what we need
00:10:15.740 And that's really important
00:10:17.140 And Allah knows exactly
00:10:19.460 What every person needs
00:10:20.540 And this is exactly
00:10:21.200 Our belief
00:10:21.840 As Muslims
00:10:22.840 Our belief in the Qadr
00:10:24.140 That we believe in predestination
00:10:25.860 We believe that everything
00:10:27.000 Will come to you
00:10:27.740 And everything
00:10:28.180 For the believer
00:10:29.280 As Nabi SAW said
00:10:30.500 Everything
00:10:31.420 Strange and wonderful
00:10:34.180 Is the affair of the believer
00:10:35.140 His whole affair
00:10:36.600 Is good for him
00:10:37.320 This is only for the believer
00:10:41.400 If badness comes to him
00:10:42.840 Then he has sabr upon it
00:10:44.000 And it's good for him
00:10:45.440 If something good happens to him
00:10:46.960 Shaker
00:10:47.860 He gives shaker to Allah SWT
00:10:49.480 That's good for him
00:10:50.560 And that's
00:10:51.020 I just remembered now
00:10:51.760 If you want to be better
00:10:52.680 Than the angels
00:10:53.400 The angels are taught
00:10:54.140 To do something
00:10:54.640 You do it
00:10:55.560 Out of your will
00:10:56.720 That's what I was going to say
00:10:59.060 And when we ask for du'a
00:11:00.140 This is really really important
00:11:01.240 This is very important
00:11:02.600 This actually connects
00:11:03.320 To my marriage documentary
00:11:04.120 Because it's a matter of
00:11:06.060 Not what you want
00:11:07.200 Because you think
00:11:08.060 That's good for you
00:11:08.780 And it's not
00:11:09.340 It's what
00:11:10.200 You say to Allah
00:11:11.020 Oh Allah
00:11:11.340 Give me someone
00:11:12.380 That's going to be good for me
00:11:13.500 Because otherwise
00:11:14.240 A lot of people are like
00:11:14.720 Oh Allah
00:11:15.180 Give me somebody
00:11:15.780 That's like this
00:11:16.520 And looks like that
00:11:17.120 And like that
00:11:17.540 But they're not good for you
00:11:18.480 That's what you think you need
00:11:19.700 It's coming up to you
00:11:21.260 And you know
00:11:21.720 Just to add here
00:11:23.340 One of the things he said
00:11:24.340 Is that
00:11:24.680 While he was going
00:11:25.560 Doing his discovery
00:11:26.360 He stepped outside the box
00:11:28.420 To kind of see everything
00:11:29.380 And there's a beautiful discussion
00:11:31.340 Of Ibn Taymiyyah
00:11:32.360 As far as I'm
00:11:33.080 When you come with sleep
00:11:33.680 Alhamdulillah
00:11:34.200 Alhamdulillah
00:11:34.880 You can correct
00:11:35.820 But what I know
00:11:37.500 Is that he was talking
00:11:38.120 About the fitrah
00:11:38.760 And he was talking
00:11:40.040 About the fact
00:11:42.240 That we don't actually
00:11:42.980 Need to come out
00:11:44.080 Of Islam
00:11:45.340 In order to
00:11:46.260 Discover it
00:11:47.020 Because the truth is
00:11:49.220 What is the fitrah
00:11:50.260 The fitrah is the idea
00:11:51.240 That you're born upon
00:11:52.680 A predisposition
00:11:53.780 To believe and worship
00:11:55.320 In the creator
00:11:56.080 The sustainer
00:11:57.040 The maintainer
00:11:57.620 The one
00:11:58.020 Allah
00:11:58.440 So every human being
00:12:00.740 On the face of the earth
00:12:01.660 Knows naturally
00:12:02.900 Who Allah is
00:12:04.800 And what relationship
00:12:05.960 They should have with Allah
00:12:06.740 And this is the covenant
00:12:07.360 That Allah speaks
00:12:08.560 In Surah Al-A'raf
00:12:09.680 Where Allah
00:12:10.240 Alastu bi rabbikum
00:12:11.400 Qadu bala shahidina
00:12:13.180 That Allah took out
00:12:14.480 From the loins of Adam
00:12:15.420 All his dhurriya
00:12:16.320 All his offspring
00:12:16.880 And he made them testify
00:12:18.780 Alastu bi rabbikum
00:12:20.020 Amanai your lord
00:12:20.960 And they all said
00:12:22.160 Bala shahidina
00:12:23.460 Yes we bear witness
00:12:24.880 You are our lord
00:12:25.420 We have witnessed this
00:12:26.460 And this is the fitrah
00:12:27.620 There's most of them
00:12:28.420 Fasir on the
00:12:28.960 School of Fasir
00:12:29.840 So that's the beautiful thing
00:12:31.300 So what one shouldn't fall into
00:12:33.840 To the trap of believing
00:12:35.580 Is that one has to leave Islam
00:12:37.020 In order to rediscover it
00:12:38.100 Absolutely
00:12:38.380 You can rediscover the talents of Islam
00:12:40.840 By clearing up your fitrah
00:12:44.000 By coming back to the belief
00:12:46.080 That you originally had
00:12:47.380 When you were born
00:12:48.700 And by the way
00:12:49.160 There are studies
00:12:49.600 That have been done on this
00:12:50.520 Like very commonly stated studies
00:12:54.160 In 2011
00:12:54.860 There was a study
00:12:55.400 In the Oxford Anthropological Society
00:12:57.980 They done a study
00:12:59.960 On the children
00:13:01.400 Basically
00:13:01.820 It was a regional study
00:13:03.480 A cross-regional study
00:13:05.160 A lot of millions put into it
00:13:07.040 Multidisciplinary study
00:13:09.000 Like proper study
00:13:10.500 And they found that
00:13:12.100 Children are actually born
00:13:13.380 With the innate belief
00:13:15.240 Of God
00:13:15.720 The innate belief
00:13:16.760 Of God
00:13:17.240 So
00:13:17.960 It's not just
00:13:19.580 A religious theory
00:13:21.160 It's something which can be
00:13:22.180 Substantiated with the evidence
00:13:23.260 Just to argue that point
00:13:24.260 You're basically saying
00:13:25.060 That you don't have to
00:13:25.640 Believe Islam
00:13:26.080 But can I not argue the point
00:13:27.280 As someone outside
00:13:28.140 As a devil advocate
00:13:29.160 Did they even understand
00:13:30.980 Islam in the first place
00:13:31.840 To leave it
00:13:32.620 When we say Islam
00:13:33.560 Okay
00:13:33.820 This is a good point
00:13:34.740 So Islam
00:13:35.460 When we say
00:13:35.960 We're saying that
00:13:37.680 They believed
00:13:38.580 And had an understanding
00:13:39.560 Of who God was
00:13:40.520 Right
00:13:41.500 We're not saying
00:13:42.280 Babies are born
00:13:43.320 With believing in Prophet Muhammad
00:13:44.340 Or the five pillars of Islam
00:13:46.440 Or the six pillars of Imam
00:13:47.320 We're not saying this
00:13:48.040 We're saying people
00:13:48.980 Have an innate predisposition
00:13:50.980 To believing a creator
00:13:52.160 Absolutely
00:13:52.760 That's what it is
00:13:53.720 And so what Islam is
00:13:55.240 The Quran is
00:13:56.180 It's dhikr
00:13:57.300 So it's just reminding
00:13:58.420 The human being
00:13:59.160 Of their innate predisposition
00:14:00.600 It just reminds
00:14:01.880 The human being
00:14:02.460 Of the innate state
00:14:03.580 In fact you cannot say
00:14:05.080 Not only the Quran
00:14:05.800 But it's the messages
00:14:06.720 In totality
00:14:07.380 Yes
00:14:07.920 They were sent
00:14:08.960 To bring the fitrah
00:14:11.200 Back
00:14:11.560 The people swayed
00:14:13.120 The various nations
00:14:13.580 Swayed away from the past
00:14:14.580 Swayed away from the fitrah
00:14:15.940 The messages were sent
00:14:17.040 To bring them back
00:14:17.540 To their original position
00:14:18.380 Now
00:14:20.000 I'm able to back away
00:14:21.560 Leave YouTube
00:14:22.440 Read group
00:14:23.840 Get my mm strong
00:14:24.920 Get my faith strong
00:14:25.720 Get myself strong
00:14:26.440 Get my love strong
00:14:27.140 For my friends and family
00:14:28.120 And not only that
00:14:29.260 Yesterday was the first time
00:14:30.800 I was able to walk
00:14:32.360 Into a masjid again
00:14:33.200 And pray
00:14:33.640 With all my tattoos
00:14:35.080 Understanding
00:14:35.880 That it's not about
00:14:37.360 I used to be scared
00:14:38.120 To go because of
00:14:38.880 The judgment
00:14:39.280 That people
00:14:39.740 The Muslims
00:14:40.260 Just put me on Twitter
00:14:41.100 I remember
00:14:41.420 That's another problem
00:14:42.160 And actually
00:14:42.460 We've done a reaction
00:14:43.960 With you on this
00:14:44.320 MashaAllah
00:14:44.620 We've done a reaction
00:14:45.440 With you on this
00:14:46.020 And Allah
00:14:46.380 It's sad
00:14:47.280 In that position
00:14:47.860 They took fitrah
00:14:48.760 On the guy
00:14:49.080 In the masjid
00:14:50.020 They took fitrah
00:14:50.600 On the guy
00:14:50.900 You see I'm disbeliever
00:14:52.340 And this is another problem
00:14:53.640 For our youth
00:14:54.140 If you make the masjids
00:14:55.600 Somebody say this
00:14:56.820 Damien
00:14:57.060 If I went to the pub
00:14:58.220 And I spilt my drink
00:14:59.020 He goes here
00:14:59.380 Go another one
00:14:59.960 Free from the table
00:15:00.600 You go to the masjid
00:15:01.540 You make one thing
00:15:02.080 Get out
00:15:02.600 How do you expect
00:15:04.120 People to love
00:15:04.680 The house of Allah
00:15:05.340 When you're making
00:15:05.920 It so ugly
00:15:06.740 And you know
00:15:08.860 Just on that note
00:15:10.580 As well
00:15:10.960 Believing
00:15:12.540 That Allah
00:15:13.280 And this is the thing
00:15:15.420 Because a lot of people
00:15:15.880 Fall into sins
00:15:16.400 We all fall into sins
00:15:17.700 In fact
00:15:18.080 As the Prophet Muhammad
00:15:19.220 Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
00:15:19.560 He said
00:15:19.800 Every man being
00:15:23.800 Makes mistakes
00:15:27.020 And those
00:15:27.500 Best to make mistakes
00:15:28.820 Are those who repent
00:15:29.460 And Allah
00:15:30.560 Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
00:15:31.040 In the Quran
00:15:31.540 Ya ibadil ladheena asrafu
00:15:33.300 Ala amfusim
00:15:33.920 Qul ya ibadil ladheena asrafu
00:15:35.700 Ala amfusim
00:15:36.260 La takhnatuhu
00:15:36.980 Wa rahmatillah
00:15:37.400 Inna Allah
00:15:38.240 Ya for the thurubu
00:15:38.900 Wa jami'i
00:15:39.380 So
00:15:39.720 Allah
00:15:41.000 Basically
00:15:42.200 Oh my slaves
00:15:43.360 Who have transgressed
00:15:44.300 Against themselves
00:15:44.980 I.E. with sin
00:15:46.140 Do not despair
00:15:47.700 From the mercy of Allah
00:15:48.440 Because Allah
00:15:49.020 Forgives all of the sins
00:15:50.580 So to believe
00:15:52.340 That Allah
00:15:52.960 Subhanahu wa ta'ala
00:15:53.780 Will not have mercy on you
00:15:56.080 Is a bigger sin
00:15:56.740 Is a bigger sin
00:15:57.540 Than probably committing
00:15:58.280 The sin
00:15:58.840 Whatever it is
00:15:59.300 That you are doing
00:15:59.640 Not only is it a bigger sin
00:16:00.540 It's only
00:16:00.820 May Allah
00:16:01.700 In his
00:16:02.680 Theological text
00:16:04.500 But how
00:16:05.060 Of course
00:16:05.380 Apostle in the year
00:16:06.600 321
00:16:07.260 From the early scholars
00:16:08.180 He mentions
00:16:09.060 Al-Yat
00:16:10.660 He mentions that
00:16:11.740 Complete despair
00:16:13.200 From the mercy of Allah
00:16:14.080 Can actually take one
00:16:14.900 Out of the fold of Islam
00:16:15.540 Subhanahu wa ta'ala
00:16:16.340 So just to rephrase that
00:16:23.080 So if you believe to yourself
00:16:24.080 Allah will not forgive me
00:16:25.220 You're falling to big sin
00:16:27.060 Massive sin
00:16:28.160 Because you're negating
00:16:29.040 One of the attributes of Allah
00:16:30.340 He's the most merciful
00:16:31.140 Who are you to come
00:16:32.020 With your limited mind
00:16:32.900 And say you're not
00:16:33.620 You're not going to
00:16:34.220 Forgive my little sin
00:16:34.860 I think the problem here
00:16:35.640 Is conveying that to the people
00:16:36.840 And unfortunately
00:16:37.960 We have a lot of ignorant
00:16:38.880 People amongst us
00:16:40.280 Unfortunately
00:16:40.860 I got scared of Islam
00:16:52.600 Because of how the Muslims
00:16:53.920 Treated me
00:16:54.900 Because of what I was doing
00:16:56.040 Instead of seeing me
00:16:57.600 Do something
00:16:58.120 Understanding
00:16:58.700 He's on his path
00:16:59.900 Let him find his way
00:17:01.020 That's not for our decision
00:17:01.980 But I'm going to pray
00:17:02.820 With him in silence
00:17:03.580 And if I want to give him
00:17:04.360 Naseha in private
00:17:05.280 I could do that
00:17:06.000 They didn't
00:17:07.000 I agree with him
00:17:08.220 And I don't agree with him
00:17:09.100 In this point
00:17:09.500 I agree with him
00:17:10.160 In a way where
00:17:10.620 For example
00:17:10.980 It's absolutely wrong
00:17:12.040 That for example
00:17:13.600 You have a go at somebody
00:17:15.600 You start calling him
00:17:16.480 Maybe this, that
00:17:17.020 No way
00:17:18.020 And there's actually
00:17:18.920 People that have
00:17:19.500 Certain misconceptions
00:17:20.260 Because we did
00:17:20.780 Some videos
00:17:21.400 About Brother Adam Saleh
00:17:23.020 With certain things
00:17:23.840 That he did
00:17:24.280 With Brother Fudu
00:17:25.180 We've actually
00:17:26.180 I've been giving him advice
00:17:27.100 For the past 2-3 years
00:17:28.240 I don't know
00:17:28.700 Maybe he's watched
00:17:29.120 2 years
00:17:29.380 I've watched it
00:17:29.820 But the issue
00:17:30.540 There's a thin line
00:17:31.340 If somebody's doing something
00:17:32.780 Of course you should
00:17:33.960 Give him Naseha
00:17:34.580 Of course
00:17:35.000 It's part of our
00:17:35.740 Religion
00:17:36.040 We should want the best
00:17:37.120 For him
00:17:37.380 We should not think
00:17:37.900 Okay yeah
00:17:38.660 He's going down
00:17:39.240 And I've seen a lot
00:17:39.820 Of people calling him
00:17:40.560 So many names
00:17:41.180 Wallah
00:17:41.420 It's disgusting
00:17:42.180 And wallah
00:17:42.980 It's sad
00:17:43.700 You push people
00:17:44.820 Further away
00:17:45.660 However
00:17:46.380 We should not confuse
00:17:47.620 That with
00:17:48.580 For example
00:17:49.220 I'm going to give an issue
00:17:50.400 With Brother Adam Saleh
00:17:51.220 Who's in a video
00:17:51.920 He came to the UK
00:17:53.100 And he did certain things
00:17:54.040 Which was wrong
00:17:55.160 Because you publicly did it
00:17:56.300 Not only that
00:17:56.700 He was promoting it
00:17:57.700 Now our concern
00:17:58.820 Is the youth
00:17:59.280 That's following you
00:17:59.940 Do you get what I'm trying to say
00:18:00.500 So let's not get that
00:18:01.500 Confused with
00:18:02.200 If we came out
00:18:03.080 Because we never
00:18:03.500 Calling him names
00:18:04.580 This and no
00:18:05.000 We just said
00:18:05.460 Look Brother Adam
00:18:06.600 What you're doing
00:18:07.280 Is wrong
00:18:07.540 Etc
00:18:07.860 We should find that balance
00:18:09.240 Because if we call
00:18:09.880 Everything criticism
00:18:10.640 And be like
00:18:11.060 Oh why are you saying that
00:18:12.160 Brother we have to advise
00:18:13.060 The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
00:18:13.840 Said you either enjoy
00:18:14.760 Good and forbid evil
00:18:15.460 If you do not
00:18:16.020 Allah will send down a calamity
00:18:17.080 Even if you prostrate it
00:18:18.080 When we reject it from you
00:18:19.140 So we need to enjoy
00:18:20.620 Good and forbid evil
00:18:21.260 Obviously
00:18:21.700 With wisdom
00:18:22.980 It's not just
00:18:23.420 Yeah I'm enjoying
00:18:23.920 Every time
00:18:24.720 No
00:18:25.000 There's
00:18:25.820 We go back to our
00:18:26.620 Teachers
00:18:27.160 But this is very important
00:18:28.440 That
00:18:28.700 Brother Fuzi
00:18:29.400 I know
00:18:29.640 You're most likely
00:18:30.500 Watching this
00:18:31.020 That
00:18:31.640 We distinguish between
00:18:32.940 Advice
00:18:33.680 Even if it's done
00:18:34.600 In a public forum
00:18:35.460 Because if the sin is done
00:18:36.380 In public
00:18:36.720 It has to be addressed
00:18:38.020 Public
00:18:38.300 That we should be careful
00:18:41.220 But we're not condoning
00:18:42.700 That hatred
00:18:43.340 That you should receive
00:18:43.900 The thing is
00:18:44.320 The fiqh
00:18:44.660 The understanding
00:18:45.740 Of enjoying the good
00:18:47.700 And forbid the evil
00:18:48.280 It's detailed
00:18:48.840 It's not black and white
00:18:49.740 It's very detailed
00:18:50.860 And it's the issue
00:18:51.480 Of weighing up
00:18:51.980 Between harms and benefits
00:18:53.040 Masaliha and Mufasid
00:18:54.080 And unfortunately
00:18:56.120 Shaykh al-Islam
00:18:56.960 Not only Shaykh al-Islam
00:18:57.740 But many talk about it
00:18:59.080 It comes from the hadith
00:19:00.540 Abu Sa'id
00:19:00.900 Al-Khudrin
00:19:01.260 Al-Sahih Muslim
00:19:01.820 And there's a whole understanding
00:19:10.480 Of this issue
00:19:11.160 In fact
00:19:11.480 It's a very big
00:19:12.040 In fact
00:19:12.360 You can find
00:19:12.740 Many, many, many books
00:19:13.760 Written on this issue
00:19:14.360 Standalone books
00:19:15.140 Didn't also
00:19:15.600 Ibn Taymiyyah
00:19:16.140 I don't know if you
00:19:16.460 Say may Allah
00:19:18.220 So didn't he say
00:19:24.340 That for example
00:19:25.200 If enjoying the good
00:19:26.000 And forbid the evil
00:19:26.640 Is going to bring greater harm
00:19:27.840 Don't do it
00:19:28.360 Absolutely
00:19:28.720 But it's a detailed issue
00:19:30.620 So much knowledgeable
00:19:32.380 These days
00:19:32.820 I'm joking
00:19:35.020 I'm joking
00:19:37.060 I'm joking
00:19:37.740 And this is a message
00:19:39.980 To every single person
00:19:42.060 Who runs one of those
00:19:43.000 Islamic Twitter profiles
00:19:45.220 Or Muslim YouTube channels
00:19:47.280 Or Muslim pages
00:19:48.520 Who just
00:19:49.620 Instead of supporting
00:19:50.580 Your brothers and sisters
00:19:51.540 Who you see
00:19:52.160 Doing something wrong
00:19:53.060 You push us down
00:19:54.220 So he's talking to us
00:19:57.560 Now directly
00:19:58.120 I'll be honest
00:20:01.160 He's been getting a lot of hate
00:20:02.900 From a lot of people
00:20:03.500 I personally assume the best
00:20:05.380 That I don't think
00:20:06.340 If he's talking about us
00:20:08.100 Like for example
00:20:08.680 Let's suppose it's us
00:20:09.380 He's misunderstood
00:20:11.280 Our message
00:20:11.740 Because most of the videos
00:20:12.960 That we've done
00:20:13.540 We've advised
00:20:14.340 But like I said
00:20:14.880 If it comes to my original point
00:20:15.920 We cannot distinguish
00:20:17.220 However
00:20:17.620 Those who have
00:20:18.900 Called them names
00:20:20.100 Called them names
00:20:21.120 I'm talking about
00:20:21.600 Literally calling them names
00:20:22.580 These guys are like this
00:20:23.800 I'm sorry
00:20:24.340 I totally disagree
00:20:25.540 With that approach
00:20:26.060 Let me tell you something
00:20:26.700 Right
00:20:27.000 Yeah
00:20:27.460 Let me tell you something
00:20:28.200 Okay
00:20:28.540 Listen
00:20:28.840 If we assume
00:20:30.420 That Islam
00:20:31.240 Is true
00:20:32.360 Because we're Muslims
00:20:33.380 Right
00:20:33.700 And Iman
00:20:34.940 Iman
00:20:36.600 In my analogy here
00:20:37.960 Is going to be symbolic
00:20:38.820 To
00:20:39.500 Or analogous
00:20:40.380 To health
00:20:40.780 Physical health
00:20:41.800 If you see someone
00:20:43.420 Who's like
00:20:43.840 For instance
00:20:44.460 A very popular
00:20:45.320 Person on YouTube
00:20:46.700 Who's got a very big following
00:20:47.860 And they're giving
00:20:49.480 Wrong medical advice
00:20:50.560 In fact
00:20:50.900 The advice that they're giving
00:20:52.260 Or the
00:20:53.460 Things that they're telling people to do
00:20:55.720 Are against your health
00:20:56.900 And people are following
00:20:58.260 That person
00:20:59.060 For example
00:20:59.600 Saying
00:21:00.380 Okay
00:21:00.720 Have this much sugar
00:21:02.560 Smoke this
00:21:03.940 Or do this
00:21:04.440 Now
00:21:05.780 Doctors
00:21:06.640 And other people
00:21:07.940 That are watching this
00:21:08.800 Will be thinking
00:21:09.520 Okay
00:21:09.860 Let us come in
00:21:11.360 And rescue people's health
00:21:13.280 Because otherwise
00:21:13.860 People are going to be
00:21:14.820 Consuming these things
00:21:15.500 And we know
00:21:15.940 That people are consuming
00:21:16.660 And their health
00:21:18.040 Is going to deteriorate
00:21:18.880 If that is analogous
00:21:20.720 To the
00:21:21.140 Spiritual state
00:21:22.440 Of human beings
00:21:23.140 Then
00:21:23.980 There has to be
00:21:25.060 Some kind of
00:21:25.620 Counter narrative
00:21:26.340 To the
00:21:27.820 What I would call
00:21:28.480 The liberal Islam
00:21:29.720 And what I mean by that
00:21:31.900 That's a new thing now
00:21:33.140 That's been invented
00:21:33.980 And I'll be honest with you
00:21:36.500 I think these two individuals
00:21:37.600 I'll be honest with you
00:21:38.340 I think these two individuals
00:21:39.140 Are proponents of it
00:21:40.020 Yeah
00:21:40.240 I believe that
00:21:41.300 I'm not going to
00:21:42.280 Mince my words here
00:21:44.140 I don't know enough of them
00:21:45.160 To say that
00:21:45.720 I'm 100% sure
00:21:46.680 That they are proponents of it
00:21:47.800 It's the idea that
00:21:49.180 You are free to do
00:21:52.260 Whatever you want
00:21:52.760 So long as you don't know
00:21:53.460 Mill's said this one
00:21:54.660 Yeah
00:21:54.960 J.S. Mill's principle
00:21:56.100 Thrown into the Islamic discourse
00:21:57.600 Into a podge podge
00:21:58.620 Of ideas
00:21:59.060 And things like that
00:21:59.640 Frankly bro
00:22:00.640 I think that
00:22:01.680 That needs to be deconstructed
00:22:03.420 And Muslims are following this
00:22:05.600 And thinking that
00:22:06.320 It's pseudo-Islamic science
00:22:08.140 Islam
00:22:09.180 Is clear
00:22:10.220 There are certain things
00:22:11.360 Which are halal
00:22:12.000 And certain things
00:22:12.640 Which are haram
00:22:13.360 There are certain things
00:22:14.200 Which are allowed
00:22:14.780 And certain things
00:22:15.460 Which are not allowed
00:22:16.100 When you say clear
00:22:16.920 You mean yes
00:22:17.740 Alhamdulillah
00:22:18.460 It's clear in the sense
00:22:19.320 That which has consensus
00:22:20.280 Is clear
00:22:20.740 And that which may be
00:22:21.900 A point of disagreement
00:22:22.920 A valid point of disagreement
00:22:24.120 It's also clear
00:22:25.320 It's also clear
00:22:25.340 So those doctors
00:22:31.100 They are coming out
00:22:31.860 They're out of care
00:22:32.760 Not only for yourself
00:22:34.240 But the general mask
00:22:35.240 That you might be
00:22:36.020 Unintentionally guiding
00:22:37.240 To the wrong path
00:22:38.200 Because the
00:22:38.960 Nasr has greater
00:22:39.840 Exactly
00:22:40.340 So we should not
00:22:41.000 The benefit is greater
00:22:41.720 So we should not
00:22:42.280 Look at these doctors
00:22:43.040 And I'm not talking
00:22:43.460 If these doctors came
00:22:44.440 Where we're talking about
00:22:45.320 And they started
00:22:45.980 Insulting you
00:22:46.580 This time I'm with you
00:22:47.180 100%
00:22:47.700 Why they shouldn't insult you
00:22:48.980 But if they're coming
00:22:49.780 With advice
00:22:50.320 And to turn that advice
00:22:51.220 Into your haram police
00:22:52.140 Or this that
00:22:52.580 That's unacceptable
00:22:53.480 So what that means is
00:22:54.260 I have this life
00:22:55.000 Let me be
00:22:55.580 We can't
00:22:56.220 It doesn't work like that
00:22:57.060 If we don't
00:22:57.820 Why did certain
00:22:58.820 Other people
00:22:59.580 In the old nations
00:23:00.740 Fell into this
00:23:01.560 Even the scholars say
00:23:02.300 Like for example
00:23:02.780 Banu Yisrael
00:23:03.260 When it came to the
00:23:03.880 Matter of the Sabbath
00:23:04.440 They should have not
00:23:05.360 Been doing it
00:23:05.920 And what does the scholars say
00:23:06.940 There was those
00:23:07.440 Who did not listen
00:23:08.140 And there was those
00:23:11.720 Who would join the ones
00:23:13.080 In the hellfire
00:23:13.700 With the ones who did it
00:23:14.440 Why
00:23:14.940 Because they looked
00:23:15.900 And they were silent
00:23:16.660 We can't be silent
00:23:18.060 So the thing is
00:23:18.800 Take our advice
00:23:20.000 As advice brother
00:23:20.780 Believe me
00:23:21.740 I'll say this
00:23:22.080 From above my heart
00:23:22.760 I don't do this
00:23:23.880 For money
00:23:24.300 Like we don't do this
00:23:25.720 For like
00:23:26.040 Let's make money
00:23:27.040 It's not about this
00:23:27.580 We genuinely care
00:23:28.500 About our brothers
00:23:29.080 And sisters
00:23:29.300 As much as you're passionate
00:23:30.140 You have a goal
00:23:31.080 That our goal
00:23:31.740 Is to get the youth
00:23:32.780 To practice their religion
00:23:33.940 And this is the reason
00:23:34.840 Actually we started
00:23:35.400 Our whole organization
00:23:36.140 But
00:23:36.500 Let's not
00:23:37.660 Let's not be little
00:23:39.160 You know
00:23:39.460 Adore the good
00:23:41.000 For doing the evil
00:23:41.620 I don't see it
00:23:42.520 As a kind of
00:23:43.360 Doom and gloom
00:23:44.180 Enjoying the good
00:23:45.040 For doing the evil
00:23:45.620 No
00:23:45.840 But you know
00:23:46.660 Some of the
00:23:47.000 Some of the
00:23:47.580 Some of the
00:23:47.600 Some of the
00:23:47.620 Some of the
00:23:47.860 Scholars
00:23:48.060 Have very profound
00:23:50.100 Statements
00:23:50.520 Like
00:23:51.120 This whole concept
00:23:52.960 Is from
00:23:53.720 It is literally
00:23:55.520 The scale
00:23:56.280 Of the religion
00:23:57.380 It is literally
00:23:58.160 The scale of the religion
00:23:59.080 Why we weigh
00:24:00.100 The good and the bad
00:24:00.960 And
00:24:01.220 That's why
00:24:02.740 There's other faiths
00:24:04.140 That have gone astray
00:24:04.720 If you look now
00:24:05.280 Everything is all happy days
00:24:06.320 Whatever you want to come with
00:24:07.300 Bring it along
00:24:08.120 Don't trigger
00:24:09.600 There was this one girl
00:24:10.560 I love her
00:24:11.800 I'm not gonna hate on her
00:24:12.720 She runs one of those
00:24:13.660 Like hijab and stuff
00:24:14.680 Whatever
00:24:15.100 She tweeted and she said
00:24:16.900 When I
00:24:17.700 As a joke
00:24:18.580 When I first called myself
00:24:19.660 Lil Khara
00:24:20.080 She tweeted and she said
00:24:23.340 When I
00:24:24.160 As a joke
00:24:25.020 When I first called myself
00:24:26.100 Lil Khara
00:24:26.540 Before I even
00:24:27.440 Thought of Lil Khara
00:24:28.460 She tweeted and she said
00:24:30.100 This is
00:24:31.600 Noor Arakat's
00:24:32.660 Brother
00:24:33.240 I am convinced
00:24:34.540 That Arab parents
00:24:35.700 Don't know how to raise men
00:24:36.900 I went to my mom
00:24:39.020 And I said
00:24:39.320 Who does she think she is
00:24:40.660 To not only talk about me
00:24:42.720 But to say that
00:24:43.420 You
00:24:43.840 You raised the perfect son
00:24:45.760 And because of that
00:24:47.120 And because I didn't go off on her
00:24:48.700 And because I just trusted it
00:24:49.800 My imam
00:24:50.760 And my strength
00:24:51.360 Is stronger than ever
00:24:52.340 Alhamdulillah
00:24:53.060 I now look my mom
00:24:54.420 In the eye
00:24:54.840 My mom got scared
00:24:55.980 She said
00:24:56.640 Yusuf you weren't religious
00:24:57.900 Where did this come from
00:24:59.300 And I said
00:24:59.900 The thing that I've seen
00:25:00.860 In Brahman Fuzi
00:25:01.420 Is that he gets affected
00:25:02.440 By negative comments
00:25:03.360 As a YouTuber
00:25:04.360 I'll be honest with you
00:25:04.860 Even myself
00:25:05.420 A lot of us
00:25:05.880 They appear
00:25:07.160 We do
00:25:08.320 But with him specifically
00:25:10.880 It seems like
00:25:11.320 It really bothers him
00:25:12.800 To the extent
00:25:13.340 He had to go to his mom
00:25:14.580 And say
00:25:15.140 What's she trying to say
00:25:16.260 Where does this come from
00:25:17.920 What advice would you give
00:25:19.140 To Brahman Fuzi
00:25:19.660 With these negative comments
00:25:20.740 That are being thrown at him
00:25:21.540 On a daily basis
00:25:22.280 And it really gets to him
00:25:23.980 I genuinely don't know
00:25:25.100 What I would personally advise
00:25:25.900 So
00:25:26.320 One thing I wanted to say
00:25:28.040 Is that
00:25:28.260 If we look at the studies
00:25:29.440 That have been done
00:25:30.180 On social media
00:25:30.860 There's lots of studies
00:25:31.980 That have been done
00:25:32.660 There's articles
00:25:33.140 I've written on it
00:25:33.780 But I'm not going to go into it
00:25:35.140 In detail
00:25:36.000 But the idea is this
00:25:37.320 Social media usage
00:25:39.220 The more
00:25:40.360 Generally speaking
00:25:41.260 The more social media
00:25:42.380 You're on
00:25:43.060 And the more hours
00:25:44.340 You're on it
00:25:44.840 The more you're likely
00:25:46.680 To have depression
00:25:47.300 Or anxieties
00:25:47.940 Or lack of sleep
00:25:48.940 Or all of these things
00:25:50.200 Which are very negative
00:25:51.000 Yeah
00:25:51.400 So as someone
00:25:53.080 Who's based their lives
00:25:54.080 We spend a lot of time
00:25:55.960 On social media as well
00:25:56.880 One thing I try and do
00:25:59.020 And this is advice
00:25:59.580 To myself
00:26:00.080 One thing I try and do
00:26:01.880 And a lot of people
00:26:02.960 Have been advising me
00:26:03.620 To do that as well
00:26:04.100 Because I try and keep
00:26:05.160 My distance to social media
00:26:06.740 Now
00:26:06.980 Is I try and save
00:26:09.740 A space in my day
00:26:11.220 For social media
00:26:11.940 Or my week
00:26:12.460 A time and a place for it
00:26:13.780 And not to attach myself
00:26:15.640 To it too much
00:26:16.260 Because the thing is
00:26:16.920 If you do go into
00:26:18.920 This virtual reality
00:26:20.000 This virtual reality
00:26:21.500 Is going to cause you
00:26:22.400 To be depressed
00:26:23.000 It's going to cause you
00:26:24.140 To be anxious
00:26:24.700 And it's going to give you
00:26:25.300 Virtual fingers back
00:26:25.940 Which you think is real
00:26:26.600 Absolutely
00:26:27.260 So what I would say
00:26:28.140 Is that there's a beautiful
00:26:28.900 Hadith of the Prophet
00:26:29.520 Muhammad
00:26:29.820 In addition to what you've mentioned
00:26:32.460 Ishad fi dunya
00:26:33.220 Yeah
00:26:33.540 Ishad fi dunya
00:26:34.360 Yuhibbuk al-nas
00:26:35.160 Yuhibbuk al-nas
00:26:36.180 Yuhibbuk al-nas
00:26:36.800 Yuhibbuk al-nas
00:26:37.480 Yuhibbuk al-nas
00:26:38.200 Yuhibbuk al-nas
00:26:38.800 Yuhibbuk al-nas
00:26:40.280 That being
00:26:41.160 And there's a weakness
00:26:41.500 In the hadith
00:26:42.000 There's a weakness
00:26:42.680 In the hadith
00:26:43.120 But it's not always for you
00:26:44.120 Yeah
00:26:44.840 It's weakness
00:26:45.840 In the hadith
00:26:46.280 But it's
00:26:46.440 The hadith
00:26:47.440 That's
00:26:47.880 Tahsin
00:26:48.520 The hadith
00:26:48.880 But the hadith basically says that
00:26:54.040 You know
00:26:54.860 Leave off
00:26:55.580 Leave off what
00:26:57.940 The world has to offer
00:26:59.460 And Allah will love you
00:27:01.640 So be aesthetic in the world
00:27:03.480 And Allah will love you
00:27:04.600 Leave off what the people have
00:27:06.520 And the people will love you
00:27:07.860 In other words
00:27:08.260 And this is the reality of capitalism guys
00:27:10.360 And Fuzi in particular
00:27:11.980 If you're watching this
00:27:12.660 Capitalism
00:27:14.540 Is a system
00:27:15.820 Which if you go into it
00:27:16.960 And you start competing
00:27:18.220 In the framework of capitalism
00:27:19.580 Whether it's on social media
00:27:20.780 Whether it's on
00:27:22.340 In the economic
00:27:23.320 In the market
00:27:24.200 In the marketplace
00:27:24.840 Or other than that
00:27:26.140 Your happiness
00:27:27.800 Is going to be linked
00:27:29.080 To your success
00:27:29.920 And there will always be
00:27:31.480 Someone more successful
00:27:32.500 Than you
00:27:33.080 It's the end of the circle
00:27:34.520 And so it's just
00:27:35.880 You'll never be satiated
00:27:37.620 And as a result of that
00:27:38.760 You'll never be
00:27:40.060 Fully satisfied
00:27:41.240 You know
00:27:42.020 So what I was going to say
00:27:43.320 Is that going back to that hadith
00:27:44.380 Take a step back
00:27:45.280 It's also from the fitra
00:27:45.720 To be honest
00:27:46.480 He has a system
00:27:47.660 Yes he's left social media
00:27:48.960 Yeah I know
00:27:49.480 Yeah I heard about that
00:27:50.460 He's left social media
00:27:51.240 What I was going to say
00:27:52.280 Was that
00:27:52.640 That approach
00:27:53.900 Is a better approach
00:27:54.880 I'm not saying leave social media
00:27:55.840 I'm saying now
00:27:56.320 Find a meaning for social media
00:27:58.660 In your life
00:27:59.100 It's got to transcend
00:28:01.580 The egocentric model
00:28:02.860 Right
00:28:03.740 Because if the meaning for social media
00:28:06.220 If the main reason
00:28:07.600 Is just to promote yourself
00:28:08.700 It's not a good enough reason
00:28:10.360 In my opinion
00:28:10.940 It has to have a high purpose
00:28:11.520 It has to have a high purpose
00:28:12.620 The reason why we're on social media
00:28:13.960 Inshallah
00:28:14.360 Is because we're trying to
00:28:16.400 Advance the meaning of life to people
00:28:19.000 We want to promote the meaning of life to people
00:28:20.940 Which we believe is
00:28:21.700 To be submissive
00:28:23.740 Yeah
00:28:23.980 To Allah
00:28:24.920 To follow Allah
00:28:26.800 Because that is the purpose of life
00:28:28.040 We haven't created the jinn
00:28:30.760 And the human beings
00:28:31.260 Except that they may worship
00:28:32.500 We believe that
00:28:33.760 That is the meaning of one God
00:28:35.060 Not three or null
00:28:36.220 Or anil
00:28:37.400 Or whatever it may be
00:28:38.100 One God
00:28:38.820 We believe that all the prophets came with
00:28:40.300 That's what we're trying to promote to the people
00:28:42.320 So
00:28:43.180 Our message
00:28:44.400 Hopefully
00:28:44.800 Yeah
00:28:45.180 Transcends
00:28:46.400 Our being
00:28:47.480 That's why
00:28:48.540 Going back to
00:28:49.300 I don't fear any blame
00:28:51.880 They don't fear
00:28:54.740 The blame of the blamers
00:28:55.940 Yes
00:28:56.300 So if
00:28:57.080 If you're doing it
00:28:57.880 For a transcendent purpose
00:28:59.080 Whatever reason
00:29:00.020 Whatever you're going to be doing now
00:29:01.620 Yeah
00:29:02.340 Whatever you're going to be doing now
00:29:03.440 If there's a backlash
00:29:05.620 That backlash is expected
00:29:07.240 Number one
00:29:07.900 Exactly
00:29:08.360 And number two
00:29:09.060 It's in the context of
00:29:10.260 I don't care
00:29:11.100 Because I'm doing what my purpose of life is
00:29:13.040 Exactly
00:29:13.360 You know that's the thing
00:29:14.020 I'm not trying to be negative here
00:29:15.040 But that's the issue with brother Adam Tyler
00:29:16.680 When we advised him
00:29:17.400 We got a massive backlash
00:29:18.300 At the beginning we did
00:29:19.340 We got a massive backlash
00:29:20.740 And at the end
00:29:21.820 It kind of you know
00:29:22.500 People apologised etc
00:29:23.540 But
00:29:24.220 Those backlash
00:29:25.100 I'll be honest with you
00:29:25.680 It didn't get to me
00:29:26.980 I was upset to see that youngsters
00:29:28.260 Are thinking this way
00:29:29.580 But
00:29:30.200 The whole point was
00:29:31.360 Inshallah
00:29:31.640 I was thinking
00:29:32.100 Look I'm trying to do this
00:29:32.760 For the right reasons
00:29:33.460 So what you're telling is irrelevant
00:29:35.060 It doesn't mean nothing
00:29:35.940 Because I know
00:29:36.940 Why I'm doing this
00:29:38.340 Inshallah
00:29:38.760 And what you're attacking me
00:29:40.160 For me is irrelevant
00:29:40.840 So that's why I would say
00:29:41.800 One of the old advice
00:29:42.820 I would give to you
00:29:43.600 Is that
00:29:44.120 And this is reminded to me
00:29:44.840 Myself first actually
00:29:45.920 It reminds me of myself
00:29:46.820 As much as I care
00:29:48.560 Just 10%
00:29:50.160 Of me caring about
00:29:51.300 What others think about me
00:29:52.180 If I just use 10%
00:29:53.440 Of that care
00:29:54.280 And thought to myself
00:29:55.520 How would Allah perceive me
00:29:56.640 I think our whole life
00:29:58.040 And our whole direction
00:29:58.660 Will change
00:29:59.100 If you fix your face with Allah
00:30:01.880 Allah will fix your face
00:30:02.760 With the people
00:30:03.200 Do not
00:30:04.200 Look
00:30:04.500 They're never going to be
00:30:05.900 Happy with you
00:30:06.200 I'm telling you
00:30:06.680 Never ever ever
00:30:07.940 They're not going to be
00:30:08.780 Happy with you
00:30:09.060 It's simple
00:30:09.640 And you know why
00:30:10.460 This may be a point from Allah
00:30:11.600 To show you
00:30:12.440 The only one that's not
00:30:13.700 Going to let you down
00:30:14.380 Is the one who created you
00:30:15.420 All mankind
00:30:16.680 Be it your mom
00:30:17.500 Be it your dad
00:30:18.120 Whoever it is
00:30:18.700 They love you
00:30:19.400 But I swear upon Allah
00:30:20.420 If they said to your mom
00:30:21.300 Or your dad
00:30:21.680 Go in the grave
00:30:22.260 Instead of your son
00:30:22.940 Nope
00:30:23.980 That's where the line stops
00:30:25.260 We need to realize
00:30:26.040 That Allah is more merciful
00:30:27.480 To us than our mothers
00:30:28.500 Yes
00:30:28.860 Allah is more merciful
00:30:30.800 To us than your mother
00:30:31.780 Is with her newborn child
00:30:32.780 But we have to go back
00:30:34.240 To Allah
00:30:34.640 We have to resort
00:30:35.500 Back to Allah
00:30:36.020 We have to keep our
00:30:39.180 Relationship with Allah
00:30:40.800 It has to be
00:30:41.980 Something very tight
00:30:43.360 Very personal
00:30:44.000 Very meaningful
00:30:44.780 And that's what Allah
00:30:46.100 Says
00:30:46.320 Only with the remembrance
00:30:47.120 Your Lord
00:30:48.300 Do your hearts find peace
00:30:49.140 We are programmed
00:30:50.420 Your soul
00:30:50.920 You feed your body
00:30:51.780 Brother
00:30:52.000 Look
00:30:52.200 Masha'a
00:30:52.460 You're training
00:30:52.960 It's good
00:30:53.380 You're looking after
00:30:54.640 Your body
00:30:54.980 You say nutrition
00:30:55.640 My muscles need this
00:30:56.500 It needs rest
00:30:57.300 It needs protein
00:30:58.120 It needs this
00:30:58.840 Brother
00:30:59.360 Your soul
00:31:00.420 Your heart
00:31:00.980 Is the same
00:31:01.700 Your heart
00:31:02.820 Is yearning for Allah
00:31:03.600 When we feed it
00:31:04.400 I'm not saying
00:31:05.280 You buy it
00:31:05.520 Money
00:31:06.480 It's rejecting
00:31:07.200 It's saying
00:31:07.420 I don't want it
00:31:08.220 Cars
00:31:08.540 I don't want it
00:31:09.000 Women
00:31:09.180 I don't want it
00:31:09.680 It's rejecting it
00:31:10.380 It's calling for Allah
00:31:11.460 But we're giving the soul
00:31:12.440 The wrong food
00:31:13.080 I want us to say
00:31:14.140 I want us to say
00:31:14.160 One more thing
00:31:14.600 Just quickly
00:31:15.020 Quickly
00:31:15.260 Oh
00:31:15.760 I was going to say
00:31:19.460 Look at the platform
00:31:20.420 The brother has
00:31:21.020 He's got 10 million
00:31:22.260 More
00:31:22.640 I don't know
00:31:23.840 I haven't seen for a long time
00:31:25.240 But what I was going to say
00:31:25.920 Was that
00:31:26.300 One tip
00:31:28.260 If he just promotes
00:31:29.360 A charity project
00:31:30.220 If he does philanthropy
00:31:31.300 I'm not saying he doesn't do that
00:31:32.340 I don't know
00:31:32.720 But if he does that
00:31:34.400 Imagine if he does that
00:31:35.860 Consistently
00:31:36.440 Over a span of 12 months
00:31:38.080 Imagine how much money
00:31:40.080 The man can raise
00:31:40.940 That's meaningful
00:31:42.600 That's transcendent
00:31:43.440 That's more than
00:31:44.040 The egocentric model
00:31:44.940 That's when the man
00:31:45.980 Will start to feel
00:31:46.700 Like what I'm doing
00:31:48.260 Is more valuable
00:31:49.180 Because actually
00:31:50.220 You know in this
00:31:50.640 Specific shop
00:31:51.280 One little boy
00:31:52.140 Approaches them
00:31:52.800 And he goes
00:31:53.680 I'm going to pay
00:31:54.060 For your uni fee
00:31:55.240 Just study
00:31:56.180 Does he do that
00:31:56.660 So yeah
00:31:56.940 Masha'a
00:31:57.260 But if he goes
00:31:58.700 Down that route
00:31:59.760 Philanthropy
00:32:00.800 Trust me
00:32:01.120 It's not only that
00:32:02.560 It's not others
00:32:03.260 I think we were saying
00:32:03.860 You touched upon it
00:32:04.560 And it's that
00:32:05.280 Every person
00:32:06.020 A certain amount
00:32:07.040 Of ibadah
00:32:07.600 A certain amount
00:32:08.480 Of personal worship
00:32:09.560 That they do
00:32:10.200 In addition to that
00:32:11.420 Which Allah wants
00:32:12.040 From you
00:32:12.340 From your compulsory
00:32:13.460 Because it's
00:32:14.540 These additional
00:32:15.260 Acts of ibadah
00:32:16.140 That will strengthen you
00:32:17.300 It's like providing
00:32:18.440 Nutrition to your soul
00:32:19.620 So when those tests
00:32:20.720 Come eventually
00:32:21.740 We hope they don't come
00:32:23.080 Inshallah
00:32:23.460 But if they do come
00:32:24.860 You're ready for it
00:32:25.780 Your iman is up to here
00:32:27.400 Exactly
00:32:27.820 Because we're all
00:32:28.640 Our iman goes up and down
00:32:30.080 Our iman goes up and down
00:32:30.960 This is what we believe
00:32:31.740 Our iman goes up and down
00:32:32.800 That's what it is
00:32:33.280 When your iman is high
00:32:34.380 You need to prepare
00:32:35.500 When it's going to be low
00:32:36.340 You need to get ready
00:32:37.400 It's like you're going
00:32:37.900 To the jungle
00:32:38.340 Brother
00:32:38.580 At one point I'm going to hit the jungle
00:32:40.020 Let me get ready
00:32:40.720 Let me get my fire
00:32:41.400 Everything ready
00:32:42.020 And that's how we need to think
00:32:43.380 So basically
00:32:43.780 Is there anything else
00:32:44.820 You want to
00:32:46.080 I think we've covered
00:32:48.840 A lot of the angles
00:32:49.720 I want to finish on a good note
00:32:51.540 Alhamdulillah
00:32:51.880 It's fair for your iman
00:32:52.980 It's important
00:32:53.940 Do not fear that just because we're taking shahad
00:32:57.600 Allah will not take your iman away from you again
00:32:59.240 It's a reminder to all of us
00:33:01.660 That we always ask for guidance
00:33:03.320 Inshallah
00:33:03.640 But let's end on a good note
00:33:05.060 Inshallah
00:33:05.320 Prophet Muhammad
00:33:06.680 He retook his shahad
00:33:07.900 Inshallah
00:33:08.200 And hope Allah keeps him firm
00:33:09.800 And one of the advice I'll give
00:33:10.640 If he's watching this
00:33:11.360 Go umrah
00:33:12.280 Perform hajj
00:33:12.860 I would say
00:33:13.620 This is the perfect time
00:33:15.060 For you to
00:33:15.560 Say you know what
00:33:16.400 Just zone out
00:33:17.100 Go perform umrah and hajj
00:33:18.420 Trust me
00:33:19.580 Reconnect with the words of Allah
00:33:21.080 100%
00:33:21.800 Perfect time
00:33:22.400 Inshallah
00:33:23.420 So brothers and sisters
00:33:24.160 We're going to finish off by watching him take the shahad
00:33:25.860 Inshallah
00:33:26.200 Um
00:33:27.060 On the full screen
00:33:27.740 May Allah bless you guys
00:33:28.620 From the house
00:33:29.420 Um
00:33:29.860 As you know this is the house
00:33:31.280 Um
00:33:31.860 More reaction videos
00:33:32.880 And more guests
00:33:33.660 And other appearances
00:33:35.040 Will be happening soon
00:33:35.760 Keep an eye
00:33:36.460 Asalaamu alaykum
00:33:37.120 Warahmatullahi wabarakatuh
00:33:37.840 Shaykh
00:33:38.060 Barak alaq
00:33:39.120 Ma'am rijab
00:33:40.000 Thanks for the layman approach
00:33:41.380 It was absolutely amazing
00:33:42.220 I learned a lot
00:33:43.260 Take care
00:33:44.480 Asalaamu alaykum
