you know people they waste their time backbiting all they're doing all day all
00:00:04.640
long is this guy's a muktadi, this guy's a muktadi, this guy's an innovator, this guy's
00:00:09.440
misguided, this guy's a donkey, this guy's a jahid, this guy's an elephant, this guy's a giraffe
00:00:15.600
it turns the whole place into a zoo and this is the reason why we need to understand the reason
00:00:19.280
i'm giving a jump to the seller is you look at the way they live their life you're talking you're
00:00:25.360
saying i'm a seller, i can no longer be your life black and blue, you come outside from before and
00:00:30.640
yet i'm a seller, that's why i say don't want to follow the seller, not the seller
00:00:38.800
beautiful match, as you can see you see this bag here yeah but you see you see how righteous i am
00:00:45.680
look what's in the bag yeah you see there's books in the bag i bought myself a new shirt today i was
00:00:52.560
coming here i was wearing this yeah and this looks a bit old yeah so alhamdulillah i thought i'll
00:00:58.720
treat myself i've been working doing long hours yesterday till six in the morning um so i thought
00:01:04.000
i'll get myself something i'll treat myself and i'm gonna come back to this you know we'll be talking
00:01:09.520
about clothing insha'Allah but what i want to do today is it's a little bit controversial a little bit
00:01:15.360
um and it goes by the the name of follow the seller not the salafi yeah follow the seller not the
00:01:27.040
salafi so now how many of you guys are salafis here no salafis yeah no problem now the reason i'm
00:01:36.720
mentioning this is very important because the thing is there's like a there's like a trend going on you
00:01:41.360
you know yeah you know i'm a salafi you know are you are you you know this thing that it's coming from
00:01:48.000
the youngsters yeah and this is the reason why i really wanted to address this issue and i really
00:01:52.400
wanted it to be recorded because um when you're young when you come to the religion i see a pattern
00:01:57.840
i see a pattern in people who come to the religion and they get excited you know and they study and
00:02:03.760
they think they know everything uh but as they study they realize that they don't even know much
00:02:14.880
he was known for two things he was known for his love for the sunnah and his love for the
00:02:20.080
poor and the way the salaf worked the way they fought was profound it was amazing you know because
00:02:28.480
most of the time that i use this when i'm doing like for example live appeals i use the example
00:02:33.760
a lot of us if i came and said to you guys i have an investment here yeah um there's this you know
00:02:38.080
you know you know you get these guys in suits and these big watches and these cars they don't even own
00:02:41.440
none of them yeah yeah you know invest and you make this much money and you put it here blah blah
00:02:46.000
everybody gets excited yeah yeah let me let me invest you know the thing with hamdollah
00:02:51.760
umar is that the way he was thinking wasn't five years ahead two years ahead yeah let me do an
00:02:56.640
investment two years ahead five years ago no he was thinking thousand years ahead yeah has anybody
00:03:01.840
done an investment thousand years ahead we have done it personally yeah not to brag you guys have any of
00:03:13.040
you guys ever given charity yeah we have done so you've done an investment for a thousand years ahead
00:03:19.760
million years ahead why because you invested in your hair after for the soul yeah you've invested
00:03:26.480
because you when you go and shower the day in general you want to reap the rewards so you have invested
00:03:31.920
you've invested not in this life not 20 years 30 years 40 years ahead you behave like a
00:03:39.920
future thousand years million years because that's the time we're going to live in
00:03:43.600
when a baby came to his door and knocked and he went up to him and he gave him what he had
00:03:48.720
yeah from what i know it was two dinars or something along those lines he gave him two dinars
00:03:54.560
the beggar went then came another beggar now if you gave somebody two dinars and they went away and
00:04:02.560
then another beggar came what would you do me personally i would think to myself look here i did a massive
00:04:07.440
good deed i'm super righteous and i'll take the second beggar sorry i've got nothing for you yeah what would you do
00:04:13.440
personally if you do the same yeah but look at the way the seller did look look at the way i've got
00:04:19.280
it on the mark look at he went to the first beggar he ran to the first beggar and he said i've given you
00:04:25.920
two dinars borrow me back the one dinar i'll give you back and he took that one dinar and gave it to the second beggar
00:04:33.040
would any would any of us think in a million years to do that we wouldn't but what's different about
00:04:38.000
the seller because the way they think the way they operate is because they have certainty in the
00:04:42.640
hereafter they believe in it and that's how they operated everything in their life was based around
00:04:48.320
that how can i get drunk how can i what can i do everything was based around that that's when you
00:04:53.040
would see that he thinks to himself automatically i'll go to the first beggar i'll get another dinner
00:04:57.840
but give it to the uh the second one and pay back the first one do you see how that's that's profound
00:05:04.720
i find that profound it's amazing then let's go to abdul ibn abbas um no abdul ibn abbas
00:05:15.840
he was in the car for uh and he was sitting there and then he saw a man coming to the masjid
00:05:21.600
and he saw the man is distressed he's upset he's he's not he looks really distressed so he went to
00:05:26.720
him and said what's wrong why are you so stressful he said i owe a man some money and he's giving me a
00:05:33.440
hard time so he said look if i had the money i wouldn't pay for it myself but i'll come with you
00:05:40.160
and i'll try to get the guy to give you some more time yeah so as he's walking off once i was talking
00:05:47.600
he said where are you going to get the car you can't leave the masjid and he said look i heard the
00:05:51.600
was saying that anyone who helps his brothers to start in the hardship it's as if he's done it
00:05:56.240
to come for 10 years yeah for 10 years so and we know many other examples from all companions
00:06:05.120
who are umar al-qadda we're going for justice yeah a very just man khalib al-wadi no one to be a warrior
00:06:10.640
yeah every single one of the salaf they played a role be the female companions or male companions yeah
00:06:15.920
the reason i'm calling this follow the seller and not the salafin is because everybody is
00:06:23.520
going to stand i'm a salafin okay this guy comes he says okay this is binar this is uh this is haram
00:06:28.160
no problem another guy comes okay he goes to the first salafin okay you're not a salafin he goes
00:06:32.160
no no you you're not a salafin yeah now they're fighting with each other no you're not a salafin
00:06:36.400
because look my you know my travels with uh my um focus above my uncle i wear night training with
00:06:42.880
socks etc etc they're just arguing with one another we've made the religion so superficial
00:06:50.640
so superficial that it's become like like like like like a you know you know you can like yeah
00:06:57.280
you know my name is there you know etc wallahi this even happens with marriage yeah the religion
00:07:04.560
has become so superficial yeah i mean you guys are waiting for a marriage documentary yeah how many
00:07:09.440
people are waiting for a marriage documentary yeah yeah inshallah coming back soon
00:07:16.240
that's the reason why brothers and sisters in the marriage for example a lot of people fall for
00:07:22.720
bravo i thought he was an imam he was wearing a phone he had a long beard he had miswa in his hand
00:07:29.520
and these are beautiful things don't get it twisted these are beautiful things
00:07:33.360
but what it isn't we've made the religion so superficial that a sister's niqab yeah how long
00:07:40.000
her niqab is how many layers she's got on etc we just fall for the apparent like okay that's it
00:07:47.920
and personally when i'm looking to get married i make the same mistake and when i make mistakes
00:07:52.880
i'll make it very clear a sister wearing the niqab is a beautiful thing it's an amazing thing a brother's
00:07:58.000
wearing the beard the folk trying to follow the sunnah that's a beautiful thing the point here is
00:08:03.680
this is that we have been so superficial that we deem somebody to be knowledgeable if he has a
00:08:11.280
thought if he has a topic if he has books behind him and he says yani bida shirk uh um um tawhid um music
00:08:18.960
of food yani bida shirk uh um yeah this person is knowledgeable who brought the religion to such
00:08:23.520
a low level it talks so far or says a few words we think yeah this person is knowledgeable and this
00:08:29.120
is the reason why we need to understand the reason i'm giving an example to the seller is you look at
00:08:34.560
the way they live their life you're talking you're saying i'm a seller if you're acting you're racist
00:08:38.960
you're racist you're racist you don't like black people you don't like you're the same person
00:08:43.120
yeah okay good brother you are the same person you will never let your daughter marry a black guy
00:08:50.080
you will never let him marry a black guy you're the same person you you go and yes and don't let me
00:08:55.760
say again it's important for us to clarify the matters yeah when it comes to innovation etc i'm not
00:09:02.080
belittling them i'm seeing priorities yeah you go home and swear at your mom and then you think i
00:09:07.600
don't know how to be that i was yeah i've done a few years ago what are you talking about seriously you
00:09:12.480
insult your mom at home you go home and beat your wife black and blue you come outside you're before
00:09:18.720
and yet i'm a salaf that's why i say wrong with the sisters follow the salaf not the salaf that's the
00:09:24.880
reason why i specifically want to talk about this because we need to understand look at some of the salaf
00:09:29.680
they would spend nights praying yeah their connection with their lord was strong but with
00:09:36.240
so superficially i'll wear a phone i have a book you know i'll have this book i walk around with
00:09:42.080
this book under my like this yeah is this thing really is this is this what you've made a religion
00:09:50.640
you know and you have a sister you have a brother praying salah he is he's not he's looking at what
00:09:56.160
the other guy's doing oh let me see what he's doing brother you're in salaam but no to him no no no he's
00:10:03.760
doing this he's not doing it how's he moving his arms when he goes to rapport his back straight
00:10:11.280
do you see how the shaitan gets at you the shaitan attacks your ship if you can't get your ship
00:10:17.200
people to bidder if not bidder major sins if not major sins minus it if not minus it you will get
00:10:21.520
you to do things that are halal but timeless then or you'll get you to do the lesser of two goods
00:10:27.040
this is the shaitan shaitan is your enemy he's attacking you and what i'm saying is priority
00:10:32.880
yeah priority your priority is that you worship not under allah you pray salam you pain zakat you
00:10:40.560
fast and ramadan yes you go to hand your fear as a means to you abstain from major sins yeah build
00:10:47.040
your connection with your lord don't jump on this hype thing yeah it's what's going on yeah you have
00:10:52.720
little kids what my little kids you've got 12 15 16 year olds some 18 year old do you interfere
00:10:58.400
calling random Muslims a Catholic like this happening is like yeah you're a Catholic like just do you
00:11:04.160
understand the magnitude of what you're saying oh this person is the innovator oh what do you mean by that
00:11:09.200
oh one of the seven districts are going to go to the fire you know it's come to the point where brothers
00:11:15.120
the reason i'm mentioning this is because you at this age or 19 20 22 23 24 no problem you need to
00:11:23.440
concentrate on developing yourself do not concern yourself with this group that group etc make it
00:11:30.480
clear follow the quran is from under the word yeah attach yourself to that but don't get caught up and
00:11:37.600
you're going to waste your time you know people they waste their time backbiting all they're doing
00:11:42.560
all day all long is this guy's a muktadi this guy's a muktadi this guy's an innovator this guy's misguided
00:11:48.880
this guy's a donkey donkey this guy's a dragon this guy's an elephant this guy's a giraffe he turns the whole
00:11:54.800
place into a zoo yeah he's a gorilla he's like what am i here he's turning into a zoo he's like he's going to a zoo
00:12:02.000
and he's he's wasting his time you're looking even in ramadan you're looking brother ramadan is
00:12:06.880
the time to get crossed out of the time he's doing what is it we're doing uh writing here
00:12:11.280
why are you writing here for his hands are here the the umma the youngsters don't know allah they're
00:12:17.840
committing sinner you are concentrating well why is your hand here what is wrong with you do you see
00:12:23.920
how shaitan tricks you and makes you busy with these things and then you get caught up in the moment and
00:12:29.040
jump on the bandwagon and you waste your time what you need to do as a youngster is stay away
00:12:36.320
look knowledge me personally i see this very clearly if you see me talking about matters that i should
00:12:43.520
be talking about unsubscribe and block simple as unsubscribe and block why because if i'm going to come
00:12:50.720
and talk about this what's what's the point of people of knowledge what's the point of the people of
00:12:54.880
knowledge if i if one brother came and said to me oh yeah but you know the scholars are not talking
00:13:00.800
about this or someone should i go subhanallah i said the scholars are not talking you want to
00:13:11.760
i said if the scholars are not talking it means you should shut up scholars not talking is aside for you
00:13:18.160
as an imam you as an imam go go work with your own shoe yeah do you probably miss some parts yeah
00:13:25.040
sometimes people get obsessed in the bar for two hours but go the scholars are not talking
00:13:30.560
look at you once oh you think you're abdullab in a past yeah you get gas you know yeah abdullab coming with
00:13:36.480
this obvious yeah but you know imam bukhari they're like oh subhanallah you and imam bukhari now you're
00:13:41.520
example is imam bukhari from a community imam bukhari is telling no you can't so what examples are you giving
00:13:49.920
so my advice to you guys is very important follow the salah not the salafi yeah i'm making it very
00:13:57.520
clearly and categorically yeah we handle in love we follow yeah we try our best to yeah but do not see
00:14:06.160
superficial superficial and it comes back to the shirt yeah why because i'm in the dawah how am i
00:14:13.680
why am i dressed up like this yeah why am i not wearing my phone where is my topic again it's a
00:14:20.080
beautiful thing and believe me there's reasons personal to me that i can't wear a phone i'd love to
00:14:24.240
wear a phone i have the phone and the phone is the most comfortable thing ever yeah personally because of
00:14:29.360
my family etc i don't wear it but there's other reasons as well for the dawah the reason i dress up
00:14:34.000
that's why because i want to relate with you yeah when you look at him you're like look at brother
00:14:36.640
ali he's got a slug on yes and the man's falling deep yeah he's got a slug on you know you see how
00:14:40.640
he's dressing up yeah but the thing is it's just that connection with the young people you get it
00:14:44.480
i believe this will stick on the bar do you get what i'm trying to say but it all comes back to this
00:14:48.640
do you not make the religion superficial do you not look at somebody and oh look at this person look at
00:14:53.120
yeah look at how he's dressed yeah obviously as long as it's not around yeah but don't dress him
00:14:58.480
oh look at this guy he's got adidas yeah you don't talk to yeah you need to wake up somebody i'm joking
00:15:03.520
adidas i don't like that person yeah you can't be looking at oh look at this guy you're not good
00:15:07.600
about what's he going to know about the religion no no what are you talking about don't make the
00:15:11.120
religion superficial you know don't look at hijab and he's jacking a finger that this guy doesn't know
00:15:15.280
nothing yeah he might not but the issue is don't judge people based on their feelings because then what you do
00:15:23.680
is yeah you really text him subhanallah yeah i'm joking i'm joking that's literally so
00:15:32.240
inshallah the religion is more bigger than that problem system inshallah work on your um building
00:15:38.880
yourself to get across allah and go study inshallah respect your teachers etc they've even been here
00:15:46.720
when we have people of marriage that the imam etc are still in Paris we're not just our number but we
00:15:52.080
need to always respect the people of college always that's what we've been whenever before i
00:15:56.320
don't talk about stuff that i don't know if i don't know i go to my teacher sure yeah this is the
00:16:01.440
question exceptional why you have to wonder these people yeah these people have given their nine
00:16:05.680
years ten years twenty years just because you're on youtube and you're studying if you think you come
00:16:09.840
here and stuff no it shouldn't be like that if that's me i'm taking you know that was my general reminder
00:16:15.120
notion element this is the fear modes and so i want to show you i didn't want to hell a bitЗ
00:16:25.440
i want to show you guys everything that's listening
00:16:27.760
