Summary

In this episode, we discuss the concept of shaitan and how he tricks us into thinking that we have enough time to live a good life. We are all going to die before we reach the age of 35, and if we don t give ourselves enough time, we are not giving ourselves the chance to live the best life we can possibly have.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 I could die before that. I'm not giving myself enough time.
00:00:03.460 Wow!
00:00:06.660 I'd like to show you our Moroccan Thor business that we recently started.
00:00:09.700 Alhamdulillah, we have a range of sizes and colours so that no one gets left out.
00:00:14.580 And when you go to the checkout page, if you enter the code ALI5, as you'll see here,
00:00:20.120 you'll get £5 off your order.
00:00:22.120 This is a message to Bravo Art Ads.
00:00:23.840 And I saw your recent video in your friend's channel who does cars and specs them out.
00:00:29.180 And there you say something very profound because you said that about three, a couple of years ago,
00:00:35.780 that in three years time you're going to believe in the music industry and you believe it to be haram.
00:00:39.120 And Alhamdulillah, it's a good sign that the fact that you acknowledge that what you're doing is haram,
00:00:42.940 it's a good sign instead of justifying it.
00:00:45.160 This is what you had to say, which I found very profound.
00:00:47.340 And it makes me believe that shaitan is outright at war with all of us, including me.
00:00:52.440 But he's got you, he's tricked you to think in something which can be at your demise.
00:00:57.080 And I want the best for you, inshaAllah, Aki.
00:00:58.580 Here is what he had to say and let's see what we can dissect.
00:01:01.380 Yeah.
00:01:01.660 You said three years and you're out and you're done.
00:01:03.660 And we've got to have three more years left in this game and we're out, so let's keep f***ing with the wave in our end.
00:01:08.920 Talk to me.
00:01:09.580 Is that true?
00:01:10.300 I want it to be true.
00:01:12.260 Muslim, innit?
00:01:13.140 Right.
00:01:13.400 If I've got to go and study my religion at 30, 35 and the life expectancy is 70, 68 as a man and I could die before that, I'm not giving myself enough time.
00:01:25.360 Wow, okay.
00:01:27.020 Do you know what I'm saying?
00:01:27.500 It could die as a 35 but I don't want it to.
00:01:30.620 Okay guys, so we saw for ourselves, the biggest way shaitan gets, guys, this is his like, this is a jab that he's perfected, to knock out.
00:01:40.360 To make us think that we have enough time.
00:01:43.780 Like our brother Ad adds, yeah?
00:01:45.140 And this is from shaitan, this cannot be from him.
00:01:46.840 Yeah, this is from shaitan, okay?
00:01:48.200 That, he's saying that he wants to, he made intentions.
00:01:51.180 And that's good, you get rewarded for your intention.
00:01:52.620 The fact you intend on something and you don't do it, you get a reward.
00:01:54.800 And if you do it, you get 10 rewards.
00:01:56.300 So this is the beauty of Islam.
00:01:57.720 So the fact that you made intentions to leave the music industry and you still have it and you're struggling, you've got that battle, alhamdulillah.
00:02:03.260 Carry on fighting, alhamdulillah.
00:02:04.580 Now the thing is this though, you said that your cap is 35.
00:02:07.780 By 35, definitely you want to leave it because you want to give yourself enough time because the life expectancy is 70.
00:02:12.600 My dear brother, my dear brother, yeah?
00:02:15.280 Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says, every soul shall taste death.
00:02:19.220 Iblis is an enemy.
00:02:20.980 Brother, if Iblis is an enemy, you need to understand,
00:02:23.460 Iblis is never going to come and say to you, you know what bro, you can die tomorrow.
00:02:26.980 He's never going to tell you that.
00:02:28.640 We think that death is so far away.
00:02:31.460 Guys, let me ask you a question.
00:02:33.000 Are we more closer to living or closer to death?
00:02:34.960 The fact that I can die any second means I am more closer to death and I'm more closer to the hereafter.
00:02:41.040 Now if I'm more closer to death and I'm more closer to the hereafter, which one should I prioritise more?
00:02:45.080 Death or life?
00:02:46.180 This doesn't mean you don't live and work.
00:02:47.420 I'm not saying that.
00:02:48.180 This life or the hereafter?
00:02:49.520 If I know I'm closer to death and closer to the hereafter, I would have to, I mean, anyone in their right mind would have to be like,
00:02:55.160 well, I have to work, should work towards that.
00:02:57.020 Now when we go and get transit, like when we go travel and we stop transit stop, yeah, let's say in Dubai, yeah?
00:03:01.900 Do we ever say to ourselves, yo, listen, let me plan here, let me do some investment, let me go to Dubai house, let me go get married here?
00:03:07.200 No, because you know you're here for maybe four hours, three hours, five hours, eight hours, 12 hours a day max.
00:03:12.820 You don't plan, you're just like, let me get a look.
00:03:14.200 Listen, I'm just going to get my little bits and bobs here.
00:03:15.880 Yeah, I'm going to go and get food to cook because I'll just get takeaway because I'm going to be here not for that long.
00:03:19.900 Yeah, let me just quickly book a simple hotel, nothing luxury because I'm just going to be here.
00:03:23.120 What's the point of spending that much?
00:03:24.240 Look at how we think.
00:03:25.640 Why do we not implement that to the hereafter?
00:03:28.920 35 is not promised.
00:03:30.380 Do you know how many people shaitan tricks and makes you believe?
00:03:33.880 Bro, you've got time, you've got time.
00:03:34.840 Life expectancy.
00:03:35.620 What does that mean?
00:03:36.560 This is where the shaitan makes us take the aql, our logic, over the naql, which is Allah's text.
00:03:41.580 Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has given us ample evidence, aki, that we can, look, death is around the corner.
00:03:47.180 The process says death is the destroyer of pleasures.
00:03:49.540 Yeah, that we can go any second.
00:03:52.440 So the fact that we're thinking of logically like, oh, what's the life expectancy, 70?
00:03:56.000 Who said you're going to lift the 70?
00:03:57.540 Who said you're going to lift the 35?
00:03:59.480 We think these ratios like, oh, what's the chances of me getting in a car accident?
00:04:03.320 One in four million.
00:04:04.080 Okay, good.
00:04:04.680 This is taking our logic.
00:04:06.560 And that's exactly what caused shaitan to fall into this disbelief.
00:04:09.460 Why?
00:04:09.840 Because when Allah told him to bow down to Adam, he said logically what?
00:04:12.640 Logically, it doesn't make sense because I believe logically that I am better than him.
00:04:15.900 Why is Allah telling me to do something that is illogical to me?
00:04:18.520 That is what caused him to disbelieve.
00:04:20.860 Because he is now questioning Allah.
00:04:22.540 When Allah tells you to do something, if you acknowledge he is the all-knowing, you do it.
00:04:26.640 Even if it sounds ridiculous, you do it.
00:04:29.320 Why?
00:04:29.640 Because it's coming from Allah.
00:04:31.140 My logic is limited.
00:04:32.460 And that's the reason why I've done this.
00:04:33.820 Please send this to our ads.
00:04:34.900 But, Aki, this is a great deception of shaitan.
00:04:38.880 To make you believe you've got so many years, this many years.
00:04:41.020 Many people fought this.
00:04:42.180 And guess what?
00:04:42.980 They fought, I'll change tomorrow.
00:04:44.020 I'm doing this now.
00:04:44.640 I'm selling drugs.
00:04:45.200 I'm doing that.
00:04:45.680 I'll sell it tomorrow.
00:04:46.400 I mean, I'll stop tomorrow.
00:04:48.340 And they die.
00:04:50.220 And they die.
00:04:52.260 And shaitan wins.
00:04:54.140 That's all I wanted to say, Aki.
00:04:55.240 May Allah preserve you, inshaAllah.
00:04:56.560 And keep you guided, inshaAllah.
00:04:58.420 Please, please bear this in mind, Aki.
00:05:00.000 Do those changes right now.
00:05:01.400 I know it's hard.
00:05:02.220 But salah, zakah, fasting, incorporate that.
00:05:06.120 Now, do not wait.
00:05:07.540 Hopefully, may Allah bless you.
00:05:08.760 I'm not saying that you're probably ready to do that.
00:05:10.320 But the music industry, bro, work on it now.
00:05:12.400 Allah will provide for you, Aki.
00:05:13.900 Don't ever think again with your logic.
00:05:15.380 Oh, but if I do, how am I going to earn?
00:05:17.060 Allah will provide.
00:05:18.880 He's created the whole universe.
00:05:19.840 He will provide.
00:05:20.480 Give the shaitan the knockout blow.
00:05:21.880 And say, I'm leaving this industry.
00:05:23.240 I'm leaving it.
00:05:24.100 No matter what happens.
00:05:25.140 No matter what I lose.
00:05:25.960 I'm leaving it.
00:05:26.580 And watch how Allah gives you more.
00:05:28.120 And like he says in Surah Talaq, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
00:05:30.260 If you fear me, I will give you, I'll add, a way out from places you never imagined.
00:05:36.060 And wallahi lazeem, I'm a witness to that in my life.
00:05:38.740 May Allah bless you, Aki.
00:05:39.600 Assalamualaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
