SNEAKO - Live Podcast with Sheikh Abu Taymiyyah

00:00:00.000 Aki man, going over to Australia with the family is a bit long, akhi. 1.00

00:00:03.200 If you want me to hold it, I'll hold it.

00:00:04.600 It's really long, akhi.

00:00:05.600 It's fine.

00:00:06.600 It's just extra burden, man.

00:00:08.600 I don't want to burden people.

00:00:10.200 They themselves said, listen, we'll fly you out with your family.

00:00:14.600 I think we're about to go live.

00:00:20.000 It should go any second.

00:00:21.000 Let me see.

00:00:22.000 Let's read it out.

00:00:26.000 Is it connected to the Wi-Fi and everything?

00:00:29.000 It doesn't need the Wi-Fi. It has the bit rate is good here. Yeah, we're good.

00:00:36.680 When you connect it to Elon Musk or something? Starlink?

00:00:39.000 No, not even Starlink. Just the phone signal.

00:00:41.620 Oh, really?

00:00:42.620 I wish I had a Starlink. I need to get a Starlink everywhere I go at this point.

00:00:46.520 But Saudi Arabia has a great connection.

00:00:49.400 I didn't even know it existed.

00:00:52.100 What existed?

00:00:53.100 This kind of stuff.

00:00:54.500 Yeah, yeah.

00:00:59.000 Okay, everything should be ready

00:01:03.640 I'm just setting it out

00:01:04.900 What is

00:01:08.360 You saw the Islamophones on my Twitter

00:01:11.240 Yeah, anything about Saudi politics

00:01:13.140 Yeah, of course

00:01:14.960 No politics, I just want to hear about you

00:01:17.340 Yeah, that's absolutely fine

00:01:18.880 Get the base of the shot

00:01:29.000 Do you say protections

00:01:37.340 Before you go on the internet?

00:01:40.680 I just generally in the morning

00:01:41.860 And in the evening

00:01:42.460 I try to invoke

00:01:43.440 And read some du'as

00:01:45.300 You know

00:01:45.600 Some invocations

00:01:46.880 Yeah you have to stay protected

00:01:49.720 You have to do these

00:01:50.960 You know a lot of people

00:01:52.720 Are wishing to be in your position

00:01:54.360 And giving you that

00:01:56.540 Evil stare you know

00:01:58.220 They call that the evil eye

00:02:03.000 The Saudi Arabian hospitality is

00:02:09.280 You can leave it, don't worry about it

00:02:11.220 Oh, don't worry about it

00:02:13.120 Don't worry about it

00:02:21.780 I want to pronounce your name correctly

00:02:24.700 So I said Abu T the first time 1.00

00:02:26.060 I think you incorrectly

00:02:27.660 put it on the internet.

00:02:30.040 I incorrectly put it?

00:02:31.820 It's alright, don't worry.

00:02:32.980 The title's wrong?

00:02:34.260 No, no, no, it's fine, it's fine.

00:02:53.040 spelled it properly.

00:04:30.300 As-salamu alaykum.

00:04:32.360 Are you from America?

00:04:34.240 Yeah.

00:04:34.800 Are you from America?

00:04:36.060 Yeah, I'm from Europe.

00:04:37.260 Oh, Europe. Okay.

00:04:39.600 They said it's spelled...

00:04:42.820 Yeah, they got it wrong.

00:04:45.080 But anyways, it's fine. It's absolutely fine.

00:04:46.460 Which channel is this?

00:04:47.600 This is my YouTube channel.

00:04:49.300 So they spelled it wrong from this?

00:04:50.680 Yeah, it's okay. Don't worry, man.

00:04:52.260 It's fine.

00:04:52.720 Don't worry about it at all, man.

00:04:55.500 Okay.

00:04:57.560 Now, one thing I really do want to say is

00:04:59.760 I really commend you for taking the trip

00:05:02.240 to come all the way here to ask questions, right?

00:05:07.060 SubhanAllah, it's something that you would normally do 0.94

00:05:09.860 when wanting to seek knowledge, right?

00:05:11.740 People would travel from one place to another,

00:05:13.760 maybe take two hours, three hours, four hours,

00:05:16.180 sometimes from one side of the world all the way to the other.

00:05:18.820 So, SubhanAllah, to just see you so determined

00:05:21.400 wanting to ask questions and

00:05:23.380 wanting to learn. It's honestly really

00:05:25.420 pleasing to say, right?

00:05:27.960 So may Allah reward you for that.

00:05:30.040 Coming all the way from

00:05:30.860 Makkah staying here, maybe even less than 24 0.99

00:05:33.400 hours and then to go back again.

00:05:35.360 I'll pay for it. No, no, no.

00:05:37.420 You're my guest.

00:05:38.340 My guest.

00:05:40.840 Habibi. 0.76

00:05:41.480 No, no, no.

00:05:41.860 Come on, man.

00:05:46.900 I'm tired of everybody in the Arabic world paying for everything. 1.00

00:05:49.780 It's pissing me off.

00:05:51.400 I'm currently in Medina at the moment.

00:05:53.200 I said, you're my guest.

00:05:54.040 Okay.

00:05:56.300 So, yeah, I would say I came here like trying to,

00:06:00.740 we spoke about this, trying to cleanse my soul.

00:06:04.140 It was getting like pretty,

00:06:05.960 we were talking to your friend over here too,

00:06:07.600 Mohammed, he was saying that the way,

00:06:08.740 he doesn't want to, oh, whatever.

00:06:10.240 There's a million Mohammeds here. 1.00

00:06:11.500 Anyway, the West is,

00:06:13.580 the whole place is filled with shaitan. 0.96

00:06:15.440 And especially the industry I'm in,

00:06:16.680 it's just, it's really inhumane.

00:06:19.560 And people here, like the way they interact and everything, they look you directly in their eye.

00:06:23.140 You're actually having a genuine exchange with everybody.

00:06:25.440 And it's like an escape from all that.

00:06:27.820 It's like every single time for prayer, it's as big as rolling loud.

00:06:31.340 But there's no Beyonce, Lil Uzi Vertus, just people worshiping God.

00:06:36.380 And I did think I found some of the knowledge that I was looking for.

00:06:40.840 Do you recommend that new Muslims come here immediately?

00:06:44.460 Without a shadow of a doubt.

00:06:46.720 But I remember when I first started practicing, it was coming to perform Umrah that really helped me on my way, right?

00:06:55.400 This is the ideal place to come if you really want to cleanse yourself, right?

00:06:59.600 From all the filth around you, as you could probably appreciate that you feel very rejuvenated, you feel spiritually uplifted, right?

00:07:09.000 Coming here, being in that kind of environment is a huge difference.

00:07:12.040 I remember it really really helped me even though subhanAllah

00:07:15.040 When I left I wasn't in the best of places

00:07:19.280 But when I came here right I didn't want to leave I wanted to run away from my parents

00:07:23.680 Even crossed my mind to go behind one of the pillars as my parents they were leaving the haram

00:07:28.660 You know the Mecca where you just came from

00:07:30.640 I just wanted to run away from everyone

00:07:32.300 I actually not many people know this

00:07:34.800 I remember the last day before we left

00:07:37.200 And I think at the time I was only like first year of, or last year of secondary school.

00:07:45.120 Normally be like 16, 17 years of age, right?

00:07:47.880 Yeah.

00:07:48.800 So I was around that age.

00:07:50.960 We came and I started asking the hotels if there's any jobs available, right?

00:07:57.040 I just wanted to run away from the West.

00:07:58.780 This is back in, well, I'm going to give up my age, but it was around 16, you know, 17 years of age.

00:08:05.180 Okay.

00:08:05.320 I remember subhanAllah all of these different hotels that you see in front of the Kaaba, in front of Mecca, where the masjid is, where the mosque is.

00:08:12.340 I started asking, please give me a job. I don't mind doing anything. I'll be the cleaner.

00:08:16.280 Right? Because I didn't want to leave.

00:08:18.420 So I was making a lot of dua, a lot of supplications to God, to Allah, to give me a way back.

00:08:24.980 And then a couple of years after that, I was accepted to come and study here in Medina.

00:08:30.140 And they were the best days of my life.

00:08:31.700 You know, earlier we were discussing the concept of du'as, right?

00:08:34.900 Which means to supplicate God.

00:08:36.560 And you were asking, you know, can I ask for a Ferrari, right?

00:08:39.760 Right.

00:08:40.380 You were saying that when you go to the Ka'ala and you pray, you could ask for anything.

00:08:42.780 You can ask for anything, yeah.

00:08:43.860 I didn't ask for a Ferrari.

00:08:46.240 I should have now that I know that.

00:08:47.860 That's not a lamb.

00:08:48.640 I get everybody.

00:08:49.700 Get you guys whatever you want.

00:08:50.640 So I remember I asked.

00:08:52.220 I remember when I was saying that you may ask for something, but it takes time for it to materialize.

00:08:56.500 And it may well be that Allah gives you that which is far greater when you ask.

00:08:59.900 especially if the acceptance of that supplication doesn't happen straight away.

00:09:04.280 So what basically happened was years later, when the time was right,

00:09:08.280 Allah gave me the best opportunity to come and study here.

00:09:11.580 And honestly speaking, man, hands on heart, they were the sweetest days of my life.

00:09:16.180 Six years that I spent here, even though I went to different places in the Middle East to go and study,

00:09:21.320 they were the sweetest days of my life.

00:09:23.900 Medina or Mecca?

00:09:24.900 Medina. I would always go back and forth, right?

00:09:26.400 Yeah, the two cities complement each other.

00:09:27.900 Yeah.

00:09:28.400 I think they need each other.

00:09:29.400 Definitely, man.

00:09:30.320 And of course, with the whole train service now as well, right?

00:09:33.780 Look how easy it was for you to come and then to go again.

00:09:35.980 I don't even take a bus or a car anymore.

00:09:37.460 I just jump on the train.

00:09:38.800 It's a lot easier.

00:09:40.040 I was thinking that, like, why don't we live here full time?

00:09:43.740 There's something about it.

00:09:44.460 There's a pole like this is an escape. 1.00

00:09:46.100 It's like a fairytale world.

00:09:47.480 It's almost too peaceful and too nice.

00:09:48.840 Hopefully, you know, the residential system will become a lot more easier for Westerners.

00:09:53.780 Of course, now, as British people, you're allowed to stay here for six months, right? 0.98

00:09:58.560 I'm hearing that there's going to be

00:10:00.900 Further change as well

00:10:02.940 Where you might be able to stay here on a more permanent basis

00:10:05.060 A bit like Dubai

00:10:05.880 Hopefully that will materialize

00:10:07.940 And we can spend so much more time

00:10:09.900 Between the two harems

00:10:13.560 Mecca and Medina

00:10:14.320 Even though I did want to be back in Medina

00:10:17.220 To do my masters

00:10:18.040 But I'm actually in Riyadh

00:10:21.440 It's like only one flight away

00:10:23.260 But Alhamdulillah

00:10:24.200 You know

00:10:25.500 my heart is really really attached

00:10:29.140 to Medina man

00:10:29.780 really really attached

00:10:30.700 how would you describe it

00:10:32.580 for the westerners

00:10:33.540 that have never seen it

00:10:34.280 I don't know

00:10:35.160 I didn't know what to expect

00:10:36.100 beforehand

00:10:36.580 but it just seems

00:10:38.720 I would say

00:10:39.500 I could describe it

00:10:40.180 as the closest thing to Jannah

00:10:41.020 the way everybody's acting

00:10:42.900 there's no fighting

00:10:44.320 like I've never seen

00:10:45.360 this large of a gathering

00:10:46.780 of people

00:10:47.180 and no one

00:10:48.420 you know that nobody's

00:10:49.880 going to fight

00:10:50.200 everyone just wants

00:10:50.880 to worship Allah

00:10:51.720 and then go home

00:10:53.540 you know

00:10:53.780 that's all they want

00:10:54.460 Not that heavy security either.

00:10:57.860 Honestly, I don't know if I'm supposed to say it,

00:10:59.720 but they don't really check that heavy

00:11:01.000 to see if you're really a Muslim or not.

00:11:02.360 So people could come.

00:11:03.660 Yeah, but at this moment in time,

00:11:04.900 you see quite a few of the non-Muslims 1.00

00:11:07.820 walking around these hotels,

00:11:11.320 so you'll see them.

00:11:14.340 How do you think that it stays this way

00:11:16.520 for so many years?

00:11:17.800 I think it's just a blessed place.

00:11:18.860 Allah told us,

00:11:19.980 He told us that

00:11:25.480 It is blessed

00:11:26.500 Whoever enters into Mecca 1.00

00:11:31.140 Then he will be safe

00:11:32.040 And he will have that peace and security

00:11:33.520 So it was mentioned to us by God

00:11:35.660 And this is probably why you see

00:11:38.640 This spiritual rejuvenation

00:11:41.220 When somebody comes here

00:11:43.220 You've seen that video as well

00:11:45.040 Of DJ Khalid

00:11:45.960 When he came to Mecca

00:11:47.620 You know, someone who's like involved in a lot of music, a lot of haram stuff.

00:11:54.000 Only Allah knows the state of his heart.

00:11:56.920 But upon seeing the Kaaba, upon seeing Mecca, he broke down into tears.

00:12:01.520 Right?

00:12:02.620 Really impacts you greatly, man.

00:12:05.140 This happened to somebody like him, then what about anyone else?

00:12:09.300 What about cities like Al-Ula, for example?

00:12:12.100 I just learned coming here.

00:12:14.320 Al-Ula.

00:12:14.820 there's a there's a cursed city that uh muhammad um he told us to not visit okay uh because there 0.99

00:12:23.360 were back in um when it was written in the quran but it's it's a cursed place and now they're 1.00

00:12:29.800 building resorts there in saudi they're making it a high-end resort full of celebrities and

00:12:33.760 for example uh kanye west is there right now right now oh sorry oh okay okay um but

00:12:41.100 When did you begin to seek knowledge?

00:12:46.100 So, this is approximately over 10 years ago.

00:12:50.100 Over 10 years ago, I made the decision now to go and memorize the Quran.

00:12:55.100 Are you a Hafiz?

00:12:57.100 Not yet, so I memorized it when I went to Yemen.

00:12:59.100 I first started seeking knowledge in Yemen.

00:13:02.100 So, alhamdulillah, I was a lot younger,

00:13:06.100 and it just gave me the opportunity to really start my journey.

00:13:10.100 What would you recommend for people to start?

00:13:15.120 First start learning about the rights of God upon you.

00:13:18.540 This is what we refer to as the concept of Tawheed, monotheism, singling out Allah in worship.

00:13:25.000 When you think about it, Islam teaches you to single out God when it comes to your worship. 0.99

00:13:31.460 We only go directly to Him.

00:13:33.140 We don't go through intermediaries.

00:13:35.400 We don't go through a prophet, as per to say.

00:13:38.540 So we go directly to Allah 0.99

00:13:41.000 When it comes to invoking Him

00:13:43.140 When it comes to seeking His forgiveness

00:13:45.020 So when you look at Christianity 0.80

00:13:46.780 It's a little bit different

00:13:47.580 You maybe have to go to a Pope

00:13:50.480 In order for Him to

00:13:52.320 So we go directly to God

00:13:55.520 To seek forgiveness

00:13:57.200 To get our supplications answered

00:13:59.300 And so on and so forth

00:14:00.140 So this is a very important element of Islam

00:14:02.340 The aspect of the Tawheed 0.98

00:14:03.580 And the other day when you asked me about Islam

00:14:05.600 We just basically touch the surface level of what Islam actually means

00:14:10.900 But when you dig deeper

00:14:12.300 You will come to know about the components of Islam itself

00:14:16.340 And what it actually entails and consists of

00:14:20.740 And comprises of

00:14:22.420 There's three main components when it comes to Islam

00:14:25.600 First part is

00:14:27.800 To really submit your will to Allah

00:14:31.480 When it comes to the monetism

00:14:33.220 And in that

00:14:34.240 The word's Tawheed 1.00

00:14:35.360 Tawheed

00:14:36.120 Tawheed, yes

00:14:37.160 Right

00:14:38.060 Submit your will now to the obedience of God

00:14:42.700 Right, we

00:14:44.120 Right, don't live this life of

00:14:47.300 Just doing whatever you want

00:14:48.900 Right, we have rules and regulations

00:14:51.060 And these rules and regulations

00:14:52.400 Are in our own best interest

00:14:54.460 When you actually think about it

00:14:55.480 The other day we were talking about the

00:14:57.620 Aspects of liberalism

00:14:59.100 Right, like if you don't

00:15:00.840 Put down rules and regulations

00:15:02.400 where do you draw the line

00:15:03.540 of what is morally acceptable

00:15:04.520 and what is not

00:15:05.080 right

00:15:06.080 and we're having a discussion

00:15:07.420 about red pill

00:15:08.200 and whatever have you

00:15:08.900 like think about it

00:15:10.320 if I don't have rules

00:15:11.640 and regulations

00:15:12.300 where do you draw the line

00:15:14.120 of what I go

00:15:14.880 what I should go

00:15:15.920 and do with my body

00:15:16.600 or why I should do it

00:15:17.460 with myself

00:15:18.040 I mean

00:15:19.460 the

00:15:20.280 right

00:15:21.820 it just never ends

00:15:24.080 when you think about it

00:15:25.320 right

00:15:25.560 is that why

00:15:26.440 Islam is necessary

00:15:27.760 yeah without a shadow

00:15:28.520 like think about it

00:15:29.720 where do you draw the line

00:15:30.700 of what is acceptable

00:15:31.600 morally

00:15:32.040 and what is not see what I'm saying right today you hear this concept of love is love

00:15:37.940 right you know that love is love right and then when you say to them okay why can't one have a

00:15:43.960 relationship with their relatives they turn around looking at you in a very disgusted way but why

00:15:50.300 though love is love right where do you draw the line it's okay now for one to have a relationship

00:15:54.700 with the same gender but when one wants to have a relationship with their sisters or with their

00:15:58.740 brothers why would that be an issue according to your logic i think about it for a moment yeah

00:16:03.100 right if somebody now wanted to have a relationship with their parents why would that be an issue

00:16:07.020 according to this logic love is love if one wanted to have a relationship with

00:16:11.560 maybe animals like what would the issue be muhammad where do you draw the line my friend

00:16:17.900 with regards to what is morally acceptable and what is not you get what i'm saying right right

00:16:23.480 um like if i started stopping i'm gonna go on for a very long time man did you ever drift

00:16:28.720 away from the deen from the deen yeah yeah there was a period where i did yeah why do you think

00:16:34.640 that happened i think a lot of people that are watching if they're the reverse or they're blind

00:16:39.220 i think everyone in the west can relate to drifting away why you could you could you know

00:16:43.420 uh you could maybe put it down to an element of just wanting to follow your desires

00:16:48.080 right at the end of the day when you do follow your desires of what you want to go and maybe

00:16:54.340 experience, it'll never bring you

00:16:56.420 happiness. Never ever bring you

00:16:58.360 happiness. And this is why I kind of felt empty

00:17:00.280 inside. I needed to really

00:17:02.320 return back to Allah, 0.99

00:17:04.360 you know, return back to God

00:17:05.500 in order to be in a better position.

00:17:10.120 It was even once upon a time, and I'm not proud of it. I was being

00:17:12.280 chased by a helicopter in the streets

00:17:14.440 of London. How did that happen? You mentioned it.

00:17:15.800 I don't want to go into it, but

00:17:17.220 just put it

00:17:20.400 this way, right? I didn't have the best of lives.

00:17:22.440 I'm not proud of it. It's a lesson

00:17:24.300 that i took away from the lifestyle that i had right i needed a huge reminder of my friend

00:17:29.860 getting shot in the forehead in order for me to wake up because nobody did anything did you see

00:17:34.340 this happen yeah i wasn't there but his parents wanted his body to be there at the funeral for

00:17:40.220 all of his friends to see did you go yes they placed his body inside of a hot type you know 1.00

00:17:48.380 whatever you want to call it

00:17:50.880 inside of the

00:17:52.420 mosque area

00:17:54.420 just literally on the courtyard of the masjid

00:17:57.000 the mosque

00:17:57.680 and his parents wanted all of his friends

00:18:01.020 to see what happened to him

00:18:02.160 perhaps they may decide to change

00:18:05.060 so I still

00:18:07.080 remember it like it was yesterday

00:18:08.140 a bullet hole on the side of his forehead

00:18:10.980 you would see 0.99

00:18:13.020 grown men walking out of this hut

00:18:14.720 in tears

00:18:16.140 you know so it was this funeral and they wanted everyone to see his body

00:18:21.980 and it was you know that incident that really caused me to think right because nobody did

00:18:28.560 anything nobody went to really hunt down the guy who shot him in the head this is what gangsters

00:18:35.000 normally do right but at the time no one done anything this really made me think if this

00:18:40.200 happens to me tomorrow right this happens to me tomorrow is um is this what is basically going

00:18:49.680 to be my ending no one's going to do anything right you either end up in prison or you die

00:18:55.860 and that's it people forget about you after a short period of time maybe for a couple of days

00:19:01.400 they're going to be writing on x you know r.i.p my friend right or hit the road soon that's what

00:19:06.580 you guys say, right? Or come on, whatever you guys say when somebody gets thrown into prison.

00:19:11.320 How old were you? At the time I was around 15 years of age. Honestly, it was a huge wake-up call

00:19:19.200 because I used to see my friends falling into being thrown into prison. People get upset for

00:19:25.620 a bit of time and then after that, everyone forget you, right? That's the reality of this

00:19:31.620 kind of lifestyle the only people that will come and visit you is those who have the most care you

00:19:38.520 know like your parents your friends didn't come yeah your friends won't come yeah how did you end

00:19:44.640 up running away and coming here coming here yeah running away from where you said you ran away from

00:19:49.700 home to try to get a job at the hotels in mecca no no i didn't i didn't run away i didn't run away

00:19:54.180 we were here as a family in mecca but uh before we left i wanted to like literally run away from

00:20:00.220 everyone to stay here, right?

00:20:02.580 So during the trip, you were asking the hotel employees

00:20:04.460 Yeah, yeah.

00:20:06.280 While we're in Mecca, I'm asking the hotel guys, right?

00:20:10.100 Is it possible for me to just get a job over here?

00:20:12.260 I'll even be a cleaner.

00:20:13.300 I don't want to leave Mecca, right?

00:20:18.000 Yeah, but subhanAllah, of course, I can't run away from my parents, right?

00:20:21.640 So we ended up going back together.

00:20:23.980 And I was just desperately all the time.

00:20:25.700 used to ask Allah you know allow me to return back to the beautiful great lands yeah how do

00:20:34.060 you think you could balance living in the west and then also when you come to a place like this

00:20:38.100 and learning about Islam and that it's the truth how do you balance a world surrounded by shaytan 0.99

00:20:44.360 like how do we actively live in the west and and balance our life and stay in our deen

00:20:50.360 while knowing that it's pretty much

00:20:52.440 backwards

00:20:53.080 of course not every

00:20:56.120 place or locality that you

00:20:58.400 visit in the west is always going to be filled with

00:21:00.420 filth

00:21:00.760 and even if you do live

00:21:04.420 for example in a place like Miami

00:21:05.780 I'm sure

00:21:07.020 just like many other people because I've been to New York

00:21:10.500 I've gone around

00:21:11.760 and there are people that are practicing

00:21:13.780 they're trying their utmost best

00:21:15.700 sometimes you do get pulled into

00:21:18.400 that kind of lifestyle

00:21:19.280 but it's not a must for you to live

00:21:21.660 in certain localities

00:21:23.300 that is almost impossible to practice

00:21:25.720 a religion. I'll tell you the story

00:21:27.740 of a man who killed 99.

00:21:29.580 It was mentioned to us by Prophet Muhammad.

00:21:31.500 May peace and blessings be upon him.

00:21:33.100 This man killed 99 individuals.

00:21:35.260 Do you believe it? And then after he killed 99

00:21:37.780 he went to look for repentance.

00:21:41.560 So he asked

00:21:42.580 about the one who is the most knowledgeable

00:21:45.520 on the face of this earth. This is an authentic narration.

00:21:47.600 so he was directed to a monk

00:21:50.200 and of course the monk didn't have knowledge

00:21:53.180 so he asked him right

00:21:54.100 who directed him to the monk

00:21:55.000 the people in the city

00:21:56.220 they directed him to a monk

00:21:57.920 and then the monk was asked

00:22:00.380 is it possible for me to be forgiven

00:22:01.980 he said no

00:22:04.400 so he ended up killing him as well 0.99

00:22:05.880 this guy was a barbaric 0.92

00:22:09.380 bloodthirsty individual 0.79

00:22:10.960 he just killed 99

00:22:12.240 I don't think you know anyone that's killed 99 right 0.68

00:22:15.120 I don't

00:22:15.920 Maybe the gangs, them cartels, and every time they kill someone, they put a drop of, right?

00:22:24.520 Like we wouldn't know people who've come anywhere near that.

00:22:28.720 So he killed 99, and then he ended up making him 100.

00:22:32.700 Eventually, he was directed to a person of knowledge.

00:22:36.260 Just to show you, subhanAllah, if you don't have knowledge, you could actually get you killed. 0.95

00:22:39.960 Not that this is justified in any way, shape, or form.

00:22:42.100 No, of course not.

00:22:42.880 But this is what could potentially lead you to.

00:22:45.920 due to a lack of knowledge, right?

00:22:47.940 So he was eventually directed to a person of knowledge.

00:22:50.620 And then he told them,

00:22:51.720 انطلق إلى أرض كذا وكذا

00:22:53.520 Leave where you are and go to so and so place.

00:22:57.920 Indeed, there are people

00:22:59.100 يَعْبُدُونَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَ فَعْبُدُوا لِهَا مَعْرَ

00:23:01.900 They worship Allah, they worship God

00:23:03.840 and go and worship Allah with them.

00:23:07.520 Right?

00:23:08.160 So what does that show you?

00:23:09.520 That the people that you hang around with

00:23:11.740 can have a huge impact on your soul,

00:23:14.440 the kind of individual that you end up becoming, right?

00:23:17.260 This is saying if you hang out in a barbershop long enough,

00:23:19.640 eventually you're going to get your hair cut.

00:23:20.980 Yes.

00:23:22.000 Or you end up becoming a barber, right?

00:23:24.260 And that's very, very true.

00:23:25.700 Very, very true.

00:23:27.380 Right?

00:23:28.120 Your friends go a very long way

00:23:30.460 of regards to the kind of individual

00:23:32.400 that you end up becoming.

00:23:34.000 Right.

00:23:34.540 Right?

00:23:35.240 You're hanging around with rich people.

00:23:36.520 What's the likelihood that you're going to end up becoming rich?

00:23:38.460 Very likely.

00:23:39.700 If you're hanging around with individuals

00:23:40.940 who are maybe, what, wasted,

00:23:42.380 they're very likely going to adopt that same

00:23:44.680 lifestyle. So he

00:23:46.620 told him there are a group of people over there

00:23:48.500 that worship Allah. Go and worship Allah 1.00

00:23:50.620 with them. Right? So it may

00:23:52.660 well be that at times we just have to move away from that

00:23:54.660 locality

00:23:55.100 which is just like 99%

00:23:59.100 filth and evil. It's almost

00:24:00.680 impossible. So leave New York City or

00:24:02.700 leave Miami if you're there. Oh that specific

00:24:04.740 area to maybe another area.

00:24:07.580 It's difficult. I remember

00:24:08.620 going to the masjid in New York recently

00:24:10.020 and you feel refreshed after you pray

00:24:12.540 and then you leave

00:24:13.220 and the next block

00:24:13.860 there's like girls working 1.00

00:24:14.780 or there's like witches

00:24:16.640 and there's transgenders 0.99

00:24:18.960 like as soon as you leave 0.96

00:24:20.180 you feel good

00:24:21.040 you refresh

00:24:21.480 and then immediately right back

00:24:22.580 you know

00:24:23.580 there are of course

00:24:24.420 certain things that we can direct the people to

00:24:26.500 to hold on to

00:24:27.340 even the lecture that I was advising

00:24:29.780 the brothers who came for Umrah

00:24:32.020 I have a lecture on my YouTube channel

00:24:33.340 it's called

00:24:33.660 5 ways to strengthen your faith

00:24:35.620 or 5 means to take

00:24:37.380 when it comes to strengthening your faith

00:24:38.540 it's the latest video on my YouTube channel

00:24:39.980 right hopefully if an individual holds on to things like his prayer you know you

00:24:47.780 know he's discussing this the other day right I don't care what you're doing it

00:24:52.140 doesn't matter to me what filth you've managed to get yourself involved in the

00:24:55.900 moment you leave of that prayer you're asking for trouble you're asking for

00:24:59.620 your life to spiral out of control because Allah told us a salah the prayer 1.00

00:25:04.820 it removes the filth and the evil from your life right there's even another

00:25:09.300 narration you burn yourself you burn yourself meaning you burn yourself with sins right 0.52

00:25:16.260 and then you go to the prayer actually what it's like the fire god what do they call the fire

00:25:23.160 brigade coming and shooting water at you it cleans you you know it kind of takes you out that

00:25:28.000 situation of course like if an individual can't move there are certain things i would advise him

00:25:32.980 to really adhere to but there are some cases where you can't you just can't avoid the filth

00:25:39.200 the evil around you in that case one would be advised to really move out of the locality that

00:25:44.560 he's in and i'm a living example of that i used to live in london i was there for five years

00:25:49.680 after that happened my parents moved me to uh to leicester right and let's say it's a lot more

00:25:57.200 different is a lot better than one a lot different you know so much more better you think at times

00:26:02.960 you're a you're in a muslim country really yeah you think you're in a muslim country the

00:26:06.640 the Pakistanis

00:26:08.260 and Indians

00:26:08.640 have taken over

00:26:09.260 taken over all of England

00:26:10.600 right

00:26:10.820 I think like

00:26:11.500 the white displacement 0.97

00:26:12.340 in London

00:26:12.760 has doubled

00:26:13.780 or tripled

00:26:14.200 in the last 10 years

00:26:15.000 you know Leicester

00:26:15.820 they say

00:26:16.300 it's the first

00:26:17.180 city where the

00:26:19.660 ethnic minority

00:26:20.640 have become

00:26:21.280 a majority

00:26:21.960 yeah

00:26:22.820 I've heard that

00:26:24.120 all over the UK

00:26:24.940 but mainly Leicester

00:26:26.200 that's why we call it

00:26:27.160 Leicester Sharif

00:26:27.820 isn't it

00:26:28.360 Leicester Sharif

00:26:29.100 yeah the Honorable Leicester

00:26:30.320 I'm just laughing

00:26:31.480 because he knows

00:26:32.020 what I mean

00:26:32.440 is he from Leicester too

00:26:33.940 no he's from London

00:26:34.760 okay

00:26:35.220 Point being, if I didn't move, I think one of three things would have happened.

00:26:42.560 I would have either been shot dead, I would have died, or I would have been in prison.

00:26:49.800 And number three, I would have maybe gone and joined ISIS. 0.65

00:26:54.100 Because a lot of people around me, that's exactly what they end up doing.

00:26:57.480 No, I'm saying like, I'm not ISIS, I have nothing to do with them, by the way.

00:27:01.760 Just in case you've got Fox News trying to pick things up.

00:27:05.220 that would have been maybe one of the three outcomes

00:27:08.720 and Allah knows best, right?

00:27:12.340 Alhamdulillah, you know, I was saved from all of that. 0.97

00:27:15.180 Because at the time, there was a very strong call

00:27:17.640 for people to go abroad, to engage in this kind of stuff.

00:27:21.620 But later on, a lot of them really, you know,

00:27:23.800 woke up to the reality and they stayed away from all of that.

00:27:27.980 But it was a very difficult time

00:27:30.340 for a lot of youngsters at the time, you know?

00:27:31.800 so what do you notice about students now you mostly do lectures in university schools

00:27:38.060 let's talk to young people yeah what do you notice is their number one problem what are

00:27:43.580 they lacking the most when it comes to knowledge when it comes i would put it down to a lack of

00:27:47.600 knowledge when you don't have knowledge you don't know what's right and what is wrong isn't that

00:27:51.720 ironic considering you're doing a lot of lectures in schools yeah yeah yeah it's been uh it's actually

00:27:56.660 been really nice to see the uh the engagements of the students and the fact that they've been

00:28:01.760 attending in their hundreds at times in their thousands right is it all muslims or non-muslims 1.00

00:28:05.640 no sometimes non-muslims turn up what do you what do they where's their pushback come from

00:28:10.600 bro i'll tell you right at this moment in time many young people are suffering from a spiritual

00:28:16.620 emptiness they are spiritually dead you think that's why islam is a fast growing without a 1.00

00:28:21.460 doubt it gives you that spirituality that you can't buy with money bro right sorry that uh

00:28:26.880 can't be bought with money you know there's something like that's missing inside of a lot

00:28:32.180 of people's soul yeah man i've i've uh look you felt it i've seen videos of fussy tube

00:28:39.140 i've seen videos of logan paul ksi i think everyone even justin bieber even justin bieber

00:28:44.800 there's a brother that actually compiled all of these small little clips and i would send it to

00:28:48.320 my younger brother ibrahim right uh i think the brother's called smile yeah the it was smile to

00:28:54.160 Jannah brother, you put it all together just to show the people, right, that people are looking for that spirituality, that contentment, that satisfaction that can't be bought with money.

00:29:09.580 A lot of people replace it with other things like concerts, festivals, drugs.

00:29:13.440 Bro, think about it. Why is the drug industry a billion dollar industry? Tell me why. Why is the sports industry a billion dollar industry?

00:29:21.660 Because they're worshipping and they're trying to feel God.

00:29:24.400 They are feeding off the sadness of those who are suffering.

00:29:28.460 You need something to keep you distracted,

00:29:31.220 to keep your mind occupied when you think about it.

00:29:34.140 They call cocaine Britain's open secret.

00:29:38.460 Who do you think is consuming it?

00:29:39.780 You think the junkie that you see rolling around at 3 a.m. in the morning

00:29:42.260 is the only one that's consuming it?

00:29:43.560 Kids from uni.

00:29:44.300 Bro, not even kids from uni.

00:29:45.640 Professionals are consuming it.

00:29:47.280 People are on 80,000, 90,000 pounds a year.

00:29:50.840 Right?

00:29:51.060 Huge salaries, multi-millionaires, they are consuming it, right?

00:29:55.480 Sometimes I get drug dealers, you know, coming up to me, hoping to walk away with, you know, a temporary spirituality boost, right?

00:30:05.700 And they tell me all about it.

00:30:07.560 It's professionals, engineers, doctors that are consuming these drugs, that they are selling it to.

00:30:12.820 And I would advise them against all of this, right?

00:30:15.380 Point being, a lot of people are spiritually dead, even the games industry.

00:30:19.520 Again, it's a billion dollar industry.

00:30:21.060 The porn industry billion dollar industry. What else the entertainment industry, Hollywood, Bollywood, Somali would you can add that to it as well 0.52

00:30:28.300 That's right. I didn't even know those. No, bro. They have their own stuff as well. They're trying to

00:30:32.700 Anyways point being they are all billion dollar industries. Why?

00:30:36.900 Oh, they're feeding off your sadness

00:30:39.780 To keep your mind distracted. Think about it, bro. You take all of this stuff out of the equation

00:30:44.300 I think that person is gonna go and commit suicide

00:30:47.180 Why a lot of rich people committing suicide you tell me

00:30:50.300 They're really, I know a lot of rich people that are really sad.

00:30:53.460 Exactly.

00:30:54.160 You know, depressed.

00:30:55.980 Like, bro, even when you look at Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos,

00:30:59.560 you don't have to agree with me on this,

00:31:01.340 but they want to go to Mars, right?

00:31:03.060 This is what they're exploring at this moment in time.

00:31:04.900 I genuinely believe they're just bored of this world.

00:31:08.040 They're looking for something else to really spice up their lives, bro,

00:31:10.900 to keep them distracted, to keep their minds occupied.

00:31:13.920 If you've tried everything, you're always looking for what is next.

00:31:17.380 What can I do now?

00:31:18.980 See what I'm saying?

00:31:19.780 And the prophet

00:31:20.860 May peace and blessings be upon him

00:31:22.020 He told us

00:31:22.500 The way the son of Adam

00:31:24.500 Meaning human beings

00:31:25.580 Have been created

00:31:26.100 You give him a mountain of gold

00:31:27.980 That's not sufficient

00:31:28.660 He wants another

00:31:29.320 And another

00:31:29.920 The only thing

00:31:30.860 That's going to fill his interior

00:31:31.840 If you get the soil from the earth

00:31:33.420 And you shove it down

00:31:34.180 His interior

00:31:34.620 My boy

00:31:35.000 Right

00:31:36.200 Otherwise

00:31:38.340 Boy

00:31:38.880 You'll never ever be satisfied

00:31:40.020 We need God in our lives

00:31:42.380 Boy

00:31:42.620 I think this

00:31:43.220 This in my trip

00:31:44.020 Was genuinely the most fulfilled

00:31:45.480 I've ever felt

00:31:46.480 Imagine that

00:31:47.040 Because you've been

00:31:47.760 Around

00:31:48.640 an environment

00:31:50.920 which is filled

00:31:51.880 with obedience.

00:31:53.080 For our hearts,

00:31:53.920 the way it's been created,

00:31:54.920 it craves

00:31:55.860 for its creator.

00:31:57.900 That's how

00:31:58.660 our hearts

00:31:59.260 have been created.

00:32:00.940 And many people

00:32:01.720 are becoming Muslims

00:32:02.820 because

00:32:03.380 they find that

00:32:04.700 solace,

00:32:05.120 they find that

00:32:05.900 spirituality

00:32:06.760 within Islam.

00:32:07.840 I could never go

00:32:08.500 to a festival again.

00:32:10.080 I noticed

00:32:10.780 the similarities

00:32:11.740 when people come

00:32:12.480 going to prayer

00:32:14.420 back and forth.

00:32:15.100 The way they walk in

00:32:15.740 and out,

00:32:16.020 it looks like

00:32:16.400 they're leaving Coachella.

00:32:17.540 The difference is

00:32:18.320 what they're worshiping and then you make the comparison the people that go to coachella

00:32:21.880 rolling loud they're worshiping the satanist on stage who has antichrist in there they're saying

00:32:26.400 we're all gonna die kill each other like hate drugs like like think about it like they get a 0.81

00:32:30.780 little buzz and then back to the depression again they're back to the sadness again and they're

00:32:34.280 looking for something they're looking for something else now to you know give them a buzz to keep them

00:32:38.720 you know content for that period where they're feeling that's why the people turning to music

00:32:44.300 and whatever have you

00:32:45.060 again it's a billion

00:32:45.840 done on history

00:32:46.320 even social media

00:32:48.840 would you agree

00:32:49.300 that so many people

00:32:49.880 are just addicted

00:32:50.420 to their phones

00:32:51.000 they're addicted

00:32:51.420 to this dopamine

00:32:52.080 right

00:32:53.200 I'm almost done

00:32:54.900 he says

00:32:55.600 he checks his phone

00:32:56.380 huh

00:32:56.760 I thought you were

00:32:58.080 going to Instagram

00:32:58.660 no no

00:32:59.200 how do you balance

00:33:01.000 social media

00:33:01.980 say fitnagram

00:33:02.760 instead of

00:33:03.340 fitnagram

00:33:04.160 huh

00:33:04.840 what's fitna

00:33:05.660 fitna means

00:33:06.740 temptations

00:33:07.960 temptations

00:33:08.640 yeah

00:33:09.500 since I came here

00:33:11.620 I haven't listened

00:33:12.200 to music at all

00:33:12.920 in a week

00:33:13.940 I haven't, even when someone played in the car, I said, turn it off.

00:33:16.660 I'll turn it in the sheet.

00:33:17.960 I'll open the sheet in the whip, you know, bottom of my head.

00:33:21.020 I haven't, no, I think this is the seven days I've had no horror.

00:33:24.020 It's been the most halalist, huh? 1.00

00:33:25.520 Most halal week I've ever had in my life. 0.87

00:33:27.660 Nothing.

00:33:28.160 No, women are all covered. 1.00

00:33:30.320 I don't, I've lowered my gaze every time I take a look.

00:33:33.060 No music, no alcohol, no drugs, nothing.

00:33:36.040 And I feel like rejuvenated.

00:33:38.520 So it's really something.

00:33:39.820 You know, it reminds me of something that Fusa Tube one time mentioned.

00:33:42.220 I sent it to my little brother.

00:33:43.520 G7.

00:33:43.940 Right. What did you call him?

00:33:45.460 He said G7. That's his...

00:33:47.840 Is that his name?

00:33:48.500 It's a mindset.

00:33:49.280 Oh, okay.

00:33:50.040 All right, G7.

00:33:52.520 It was before his boxing game.

00:33:54.720 Right.

00:33:55.360 And he was being interviewed.

00:33:56.660 The lady was asking him, how does he feel?

00:33:59.180 And he was like, I felt the greatest ever.

00:34:01.140 I'm just paraphrasing, right?

00:34:02.220 So don't quote me on this.

00:34:03.680 And he was saying, I've been on top of my prayers.

00:34:06.400 I've stopped pornography.

00:34:07.840 I've stopped fornicating.

00:34:10.020 I've stopped drugs.

00:34:10.800 I've stopped alcohol.

00:34:12.060 And I couldn't feel any better.

00:34:13.940 Right, this was before his boxing. I remember he I think he lost at the time as well, but point being

00:34:20.060 Ever since he moved away from all of these different

00:34:23.720 Stimulations right and he stayed on top of his prayer. He felt so much more better

00:34:28.640 Right, and I sent it around to a lot of youngsters who look up to these individuals

00:34:33.140 And we got to make a lot of sense to them

00:34:35.360 And it just further confirms what we've been telling you guys for such a long time

00:34:38.740 It's unfortunate that when we tell you what Allah and his messenger may peace and blessings be upon him

00:34:43.160 have said you guys might just put it through one ear and it comes out the other but when it's maybe

00:34:47.580 like a youtuber that you look up to you tend to take a lot more seriously right you resonate with

00:34:51.420 it yeah but alhamdulillah you know uh you know you'd rather be late than never right so i think

00:35:00.040 most people are beginning to realize this now on a mass scale a lot of youngsters are spiritually

00:35:05.640 dead and empty it's a whole different generation that's why they're crying out right and they 1.00

00:35:10.360 really appreciate when you tell them what they need to hear not what they want to hear like

00:35:15.040 america was crazy i wasn't honestly expecting anyone to attend like when i saw thousands of

00:35:20.060 people in front of me i'm thinking bro we in the uk look at americans as they've all gone off the

00:35:25.100 rails and they're all liberals and feminists and whatever have you which is wrong for the brits to 1.00

00:35:29.220 do that of course because they just see the little bit that they come across online and they think

00:35:33.380 they're not wrong they're not wrong it's pretty close yeah but when the pendulum swings one way

00:35:38.120 It has to go back the other way.

00:35:39.320 I think we're seeing it.

00:35:40.540 What do you think was the major event that made it swing this way?

00:35:45.120 Everybody's noticing it right now.

00:35:46.220 There's some sort of spiritual awakening right now.

00:35:48.520 Why do you think that it's happening now?

00:35:50.140 I don't know how long you've been giving lectures.

00:35:54.500 In the last year and a half.

00:35:56.520 How long have you been doing this?

00:35:57.520 I've been giving dawah. 0.70

00:35:59.640 I've been giving lectures and programs for the last 10 years.

00:36:02.280 Giving dawah, for those that don't know, is spreading the message.

00:36:04.260 Yeah, spreading the message of Islam. 0.96

00:36:06.140 So it's been maybe like 10 years now.

00:36:08.120 Coming up to 10 years.

00:36:10.400 So then by January, it should be like 10 years, inshallah.

00:36:14.040 And you're noticing something happening?

00:36:16.000 Yeah, in the last year and a half.

00:36:17.180 So I'm not wrong.

00:36:17.820 It's been very, very different to the previous nine years or the previous eight years.

00:36:22.320 Very, very different.

00:36:23.880 Year and a half.

00:36:24.580 That's when I started last year.

00:36:25.620 Everything just exploded.

00:36:27.080 I'm thinking, how come all of this is happening right now?

00:36:30.740 So I would speak to some brothers.

00:36:32.800 There are these twins in East London that I always speak to.

00:36:35.180 I'm not going to mention their names.

00:36:36.580 They don't want me to mention their names.

00:36:38.120 right and uh they've been giving me uh an outlook on the whole algorithm thing right

00:36:44.120 i i really don't know how it works but they've been trying to make sense of it

00:36:48.040 and they're basically saying we're at this moment in time where earlier i was talking about the whole

00:36:52.920 you know the spiritual emptiness that a lot of people are suffering from in comparison to

00:36:58.040 when our parents came to europe and to the west like they were looking to maybe just try out life

00:37:04.200 they were trying to experience life

00:37:05.700 as for this generation

00:37:08.780 they've already tried everything

00:37:09.840 everything is like a fingertip away

00:37:11.940 so eventually living in this world

00:37:14.520 experiencing the glitters and the glamours

00:37:16.500 of this temporary life

00:37:19.020 you'll eventually get bored of it

00:37:20.800 our generation is like Elon Musk

00:37:23.020 going to Mars

00:37:23.540 you could say that

00:37:24.780 the previous generation was Elon Musk starting PayPal

00:37:28.680 internet's cool, it's all innovative

00:37:30.340 so you get to enjoy the worldly pleasures

00:37:32.460 but now it's it's all world desensitized because we see everything in two seconds so so they're

00:37:38.820 basically tired of it the distractions don't work yeah and they realize okay this is not giving me

00:37:43.660 the happiness that everyone's looking for because everyone wants to be happy right but you're not

00:37:48.300 gonna find happiness via all of these distractions so this is why i'm seeing such a flux of people

00:37:55.820 wanting to just really hear you out before it wasn't like that before it was like you're an

00:38:00.120 extremist you're backward-minded you're out of touch with reality okay we warned you go try 0.98

00:38:07.320 everything now when a youngster comes up to me and he's not feeling what i'm telling him i say

00:38:11.720 to my bro no worries go and do as you wish i just hope you don't join that long queue

00:38:16.360 of young people that are messaging me on instagram complaining about the problems that they're going

00:38:21.780 bro on a day-to-day basis i get hundreds of messages of young people and all the time i

00:38:28.920 sit there you know feeling sad for them because i can't get back to everyone right and i'm thinking

00:38:33.580 to myself if just you had a bit of knowledge right a bit of knowledge in how to deal with

00:38:40.040 the situation you wouldn't be in the situation that you're in and it's like very basic if that

00:38:45.960 makes sense do you think that people that young people should seek happiness or just seek god

00:38:50.580 because one thing when i was realizing during the moment i was that i never asked god for happiness

00:38:55.960 I never thought about like

00:38:57.920 how do I be happy

00:38:58.680 I just thought

00:38:59.040 how can I serve you better

00:39:00.100 with obedience

00:39:01.660 we are told this in the Quran

00:39:02.920 it is clearly

00:39:04.100 and explicitly mentioned

00:39:05.200 in the Quran

00:39:05.660 right

00:39:06.500 من عملا صالحا

00:39:07.820 من ذكرنا أنثى

00:39:09.020 وهو مؤمن

00:39:09.560 فلا نحيا

00:39:10.720 أنه حياة طيبة

00:39:11.780 whoever comes with faith

00:39:13.300 توحيد

00:39:14.300 right

00:39:15.200 whoever comes with that

00:39:16.580 and he also does

00:39:17.640 righteous deeds

00:39:18.400 we are going to give him

00:39:19.780 that happy

00:39:20.560 satisfactory life

00:39:22.080 right

00:39:23.660 is it we

00:39:24.520 or who's giving

00:39:25.880 Allah is going to give it to you.

00:39:27.540 Also, he mentions,

00:39:28.540 وَمَنْ أَعْرَضَ عَنْ ذِكْلِ فَإِنَّ لَهُ مَعِيشَةَ النَّنْكَ

00:39:30.820 Whoever now turns away from my remembrance, from my obedience,

00:39:37.100 this person is going to live a depressive, wretched life. 0.97

00:39:40.420 He was right. 0.98

00:39:41.980 Allah is the best of planners.

00:39:42.960 Imagine, man.

00:39:44.120 And I think you've experienced that first time.

00:39:45.960 I've experienced that first time.

00:39:47.560 If it comes from me, it'll be very different to

00:39:50.240 when it actually comes from somebody who embraced this beautiful message.

00:39:54.940 right honestly i'm seeing all of these guys having a go at you right uh you know uh you know when

00:40:01.020 you released that picture with all of us standing together brotherhood quite a few people sent it to

00:40:06.740 me and then they also send me screenshots and then i checked your account out all these islamophobes 0.86

00:40:11.660 and these christians going crazy are you burning at the fact that you have become a muslim i'm 0.63

00:40:17.380 thinking to myself instead of criticizing the guy why didn't come and try it right try to explore 0.60

00:40:23.860 what led sneaker now to be so rejuvenated to be spiritually satisfied right i think a lot of those

00:40:30.860 haters are not even practicing christians i think they grew up christian they say like i'm a christian

00:40:35.400 but they don't go to church they don't pray what i really realized is that the actual practicing

00:40:38.960 christians they see what i'm doing with islam and and how they're happy for you yeah they're happy

00:40:44.520 and they're kind of interested too they're like what's going like there's something here the

00:40:48.440 actual religious people are seeing what's going on and they they think that there must be something

00:40:52.040 real it's the people that are soulless and and that are looking for something instead of trying

00:40:56.600 to see that maybe i'm right um they get angry and it doesn't it doesn't make me upset i do believe

00:41:01.600 there are a lot of sincere christians i see them commenting all the time on my videos especially

00:41:06.620 when i speak about lgbtq right right so there are quite a number of them there's a lot in common

00:41:11.920 right and um and of course we don't uh worship jesus right we don't invoke jesus or use him as

00:41:19.500 intermediate we love him he's a prophet you can't actually be muslim you can't be muslim if you 0.99

00:41:23.820 don't believe in jesus he's a prophet that is beloved to us you know what really pains me

00:41:27.820 that when people mock prophet muhammad there's a huge outlaw and rightfully so but when people 1.00

00:41:34.460 are mocking jesus it's just like any random individual being mocked like as a muslim right

00:41:40.560 as a muslim it would burn me to see jesus being mocked it's unfortunate now even amongst christians

00:41:46.960 jesus being mocked or he's like i saw people dressed up as jesus for halloween

00:41:52.640 imagine that right a third movie jesus christ super star making fun of it like people making

00:41:56.640 fun of him being crucified and of course we as muslims don't believe that he was crucified we

00:42:00.320 believe that he was raised by god right uh point being right um yeah man i invite every single one

00:42:10.480 of you guys to really look into islam think about it for a moment my brothers my sisters who are

00:42:15.240 listening why are all these people embracing islam you had andrew tate and then you had

00:42:20.680 yourself so many other celebrities have been looking into al-islam and ali choppa i saw was

00:42:25.700 crying in dubai i don't know who that is he's a young rapper a lot of people are becoming mike

00:42:30.740 tyson i've ever heard it this is it's good that a lot of people are really so people are looking

00:42:34.660 into al-islam why why are they looking into al-islam it's becoming mainstream more than it

00:42:38.960 actually was it is the fastest growing religion why you just ask yourself this question

00:42:45.080 right is it just because it's a trend i don't believe it's a trend people are finding within

00:42:50.220 islam that which you wouldn't normally find anywhere else because it's the truth well the 0.99

00:42:54.280 one thing i have to admit that i see lacking here is white people and white people here in medina

00:43:00.220 in medina mecca that's the we've got a lot of them at the university right the university

00:43:05.740 university of medina the uk australians probably australians but you have to be walking around

00:43:10.220 there's there's a distinct lack of them considering how international is you see

00:43:14.620 Asians you're seeing Turkish people people from Bangladesh like all over the world but I'm not 1.00

00:43:19.600 seeing and why do you think that is you think that Christians have a sort of identity with

00:43:24.660 whiteness and Jesus being white God being white I'm not I'm not exactly sure that's the reason why 0.68

00:43:31.220 am I wrong for that observation yeah you know you're right thinking about it you're actually

00:43:35.920 right there's more asians that are here so many asians yeah so many asians man yeah i never see

00:43:42.220 them in my masjid in miami there's no asians at all in florida but there's they come here deep 1.00

00:43:46.700 yeah because a lot of them work here as well you know a lot of asian people they work here

00:43:52.280 a lot of pakistanis a lot of indians uh it was actually them that helped build a lot of these

00:43:58.780 buildings that we see it's mainly the asians that are working making or erecting these buildings

00:44:03.580 Yeah

00:44:04.540 It's something to really think about

00:44:06.960 As to why this is actually the case

00:44:08.400 Maybe we just haven't given dawah properly in those countries

00:44:11.500 Of course, you know, there is definitely a shortage

00:44:13.800 And we do need to do more

00:44:15.140 Right, a lot of us are focusing on matters

00:44:18.020 That are in essence really trivial

00:44:19.600 And there's a lot of dawah to be given 0.82

00:44:22.440 You know, there's big fish to fry

00:44:23.680 Big nuts to crack

00:44:24.580 As the saying goes, there's a lot of work to be done

00:44:27.000 And I hope inshallah ta'ala 0.97

00:44:29.320 What Sadiq would just mention for all those

00:44:30.960 Brothers and sisters who are listening

00:44:32.760 this is something that we will

00:44:34.840 be asked about.

00:44:36.960 It's upon us all to really take the initiative

00:44:39.040 to learn our religion and to go and

00:44:40.580 convey this message. It's very sad that you

00:44:42.880 have a neighbor for 20 years

00:44:44.800 for example, right? 20 years

00:44:46.740 for example, and then

00:44:48.320 you've never ever talked to him about Islam.

00:44:52.240 He, the only

00:44:53.040 Islam that he hears about is that which 1.00

00:44:54.860 they put on Fox News maybe. 0.84

00:44:56.720 The lies. The lies that people...

00:45:00.340 I think

00:45:00.900 people are starting to wake up to that lie as well.

00:45:02.760 that that stereotype is not it doesn't honestly really you know uh caused me to be happy the fact

00:45:10.620 that what ellen musk done man with regards to twitter because imagine this whole war that took 1.00

00:45:16.580 place and you know it was only maybe like on instagram and facebook that's being run by

00:45:22.760 mark zuckerberg right with all the shadow banning that's taking place and things that are being

00:45:28.200 taken down. Zuckerberg.

00:45:30.340 And Elon Musk.

00:45:31.940 Honestly, I really, from the bottom of my heart

00:45:34.320 want to thank him for allowing

00:45:36.220 everyone to just post whatever they needed to post

00:45:38.040 so that people can come to see

00:45:40.080 exactly of what is happening.

00:45:42.060 People came to really look into

00:45:44.060 Al-Islam. He played a big part in the awakening.

00:45:46.600 He definitely did, allowing free speech.

00:45:48.180 And I asked Allah to guide him to Al-Islam. 0.96

00:45:49.780 This is also an invitation to him to really look into

00:45:52.160 Al-Islam.

00:45:54.240 How do you think Islam and social media,

00:45:56.640 how do they complement each other?

00:45:58.200 Because Islam is a very traditional religion.

00:46:01.240 No, social media is a double-edged sword.

00:46:03.920 You can either use it for haram, or you can use it for good.

00:46:06.740 And there's a lot of people that are doing an immense job on social media

00:46:09.920 in spreading on Islam.

00:46:11.440 How has it been for you?

00:46:12.640 What have you noticed?

00:46:13.580 You don't strike me as somebody who grew up a lot with social media.

00:46:17.240 It seems like something that you do because it helps your work.

00:46:19.900 So how do you find this world?

00:46:21.900 You know, guys like me show up, but you don't know who I am, you know?

00:46:24.120 The dude with the camera.

00:46:24.860 honestly when I first met you I just thought you were because I seen you around before but I didn't

00:46:30.460 actually know how big you were on the streaming scene right my phone just exploded and everyone

00:46:35.560 started telling me sneaker was the big guy like I remember when I had the the the the Instagram I

00:46:47.160 when I first I never actually opened my Instagram account some brother suggested to me that I have

00:46:54.460 to be on Instagram.

00:46:55.320 I was for Instagram

00:46:56.040 for kids.

00:46:57.200 For some reason.

00:46:58.100 It was like five years ago,

00:46:58.980 four years ago?

00:46:59.180 This is back in 2014, 15.

00:47:03.860 Right?

00:47:04.500 Some brothers actually

00:47:05.460 enforced it upon me.

00:47:06.520 They were like,

00:47:06.720 listen,

00:47:07.100 if you want to be able

00:47:07.860 to get to these youngsters

00:47:08.940 who are indulging

00:47:10.860 in all sorts of filth and evil,

00:47:12.620 you need Instagram.

00:47:13.700 They might be watching

00:47:14.580 99 haram videos

00:47:15.980 and then they come across

00:47:17.140 one video

00:47:17.580 where you're reminding them

00:47:18.480 of Allah

00:47:18.860 and it may well be the reason

00:47:21.040 why they move away

00:47:21.700 from all this stuff.

00:47:23.020 Right?

00:47:23.380 So, I remember they gave me this account.

00:47:26.000 It had like 800 followers or so.

00:47:29.840 And Alhamdulillah, now it's reached over 400,000.

00:47:33.240 And hopefully those brothers that gave me this account,

00:47:35.680 it will be on their scale of good deeds.

00:47:38.240 So, it immensely helped the da'wah that I've been conveying. 0.99

00:47:42.840 It helped me a lot.

00:47:44.980 And I don't think me and you would have got to know one another

00:47:47.340 without social media.

00:47:49.060 After Allah's permission

00:47:53.380 It's honestly served as a huge cause

00:47:56.600 For the da'wah reaching a lot of people

00:47:58.920 Sorry to cut you

00:48:01.220 I've got people who go clubbing on a Friday night

00:48:04.400 You know feeling so remorseful

00:48:07.680 So regretful

00:48:08.320 And then I'm delivering a lecture on a Saturday night

00:48:10.340 Or a Sunday night and they're attending

00:48:12.080 Right and they came across the content

00:48:14.900 Via social media

00:48:16.080 Right

00:48:17.280 It's okay to do that

00:48:18.220 It's not hypocritical no like I think we all have shortcomings, right? We all have flaws

00:48:23.980 You're going to fall into the shaytan's trap 1.00

00:48:27.040 I've delivered a lot of lectures on the traps of the devil and how to maybe navigate around the

00:48:34.400 The what's the word that I'm looking for the tricks and the traps that he has up his sleeve, right?

00:48:40.660 So you're gonna fall short as human beings even the prophet of God and peace and blessings be upon him. He said

00:48:45.940 Every single human being

00:48:50.460 Constantly falls into mistakes

00:48:52.540 But the best of them

00:48:53.460 And this is what makes you distinct

00:48:54.760 From everyone else that's sinning

00:48:56.300 The best of them are those

00:48:57.920 Who constantly keep going back to God

00:48:59.540 I say clearly and explicitly

00:49:02.320 Loudly on the mic

00:49:03.580 Just because you're living a certain lifestyle

00:49:06.180 Or your hair is a certain way

00:49:07.700 Or you don't wear the hijab 0.99

00:49:09.380 You know, six days a week

00:49:10.900 Don't let it be that you are made to feel

00:49:13.220 Uncomfortable attending these lectures

00:49:14.860 these lectures are there for you

00:49:17.000 to come closer to Allah

00:49:18.500 that's my role in society

00:49:20.040 to bring you closer to God

00:49:21.160 and no one has a right now

00:49:22.920 to prevent you from attending these classes

00:49:24.340 to make you feel a certain way

00:49:25.560 so this is why

00:49:26.600 when I started saying this a lot

00:49:27.840 a lot of people who are on edge

00:49:29.700 or maybe far away from the religion

00:49:31.400 they started coming to these programs

00:49:33.860 people that were born with Islam

00:49:35.060 yeah born with Islam

00:49:35.960 but they went very very far

00:49:37.080 I know a lot of people like that

00:49:38.160 yeah

00:49:38.420 like you know

00:49:39.840 they've been packing out the mosque 0.99

00:49:41.020 you know what really made it for me

00:49:42.120 I went to Minnesota right

00:49:43.200 we had

00:49:43.600 Minnesota

00:49:44.480 Minnesota, yeah. It was crazy. Like 7,000.

00:49:47.980 There's a mosque in Minnesota?

00:49:48.980 Of course. Come on.

00:49:49.980 Wow.

00:49:50.480 There's a lot of Somali. They say the biggest Somali population of Muqaddishu,

00:49:53.980 which is the capital of Somalia is in Minnesota.

00:49:55.980 What are you guys doing in Minnesota?

00:49:57.980 I think all Somalis are there.

00:49:59.480 Why?

00:50:00.480 A lot of people live there. Why not?

00:50:02.480 I'm surprised you asked me this question. You've never been there?

00:50:04.480 Minnesota?

00:50:05.480 Why?

00:50:05.980 Why would I go there? Because to see the Somalis? 0.68

00:50:07.980 I don't know one thing.

00:50:10.480 Even if you did go to visit Somalia, there's nothing wrong with that. That's great.

00:50:12.980 No, no, that would be the only reason.

00:50:14.740 What do you see in those corn and Canadians over there? 1.00

00:50:17.260 I don't know, I just went.

00:50:17.960 I was there for two days.

00:50:19.800 And subhanAllah, from what?

00:50:21.180 The brothers told me,

00:50:21.980 they told me 7,000 Somalis turned up at the masjid.

00:50:25.740 MashaAllah.

00:50:26.180 And it was crazy.

00:50:27.340 And we had to basically evacuate everyone.

00:50:29.760 You know, people fainted because of how hot it was.

00:50:32.600 And it was nothing but love.

00:50:33.740 You know, the fact that they all came to benefit.

00:50:35.820 The reason why I'm mentioning all of that is,

00:50:38.540 there was a sister who came.

00:50:40.140 you know how

00:50:41.660 what they do is

00:50:42.680 sometimes they just

00:50:43.300 start recording

00:50:43.920 and show where they are

00:50:45.800 and they put it up

00:50:46.300 on their snap

00:50:46.760 on their instagram

00:50:47.340 right

00:50:47.600 yeah

00:50:47.940 there's a sister

00:50:49.580 who did that

00:50:51.280 one of the brothers

00:50:52.240 said to me

00:50:52.660 that he went

00:50:53.160 to her tiktok account

00:50:54.060 he went on

00:50:56.380 to her tiktok account

00:50:57.240 and she doesn't

00:50:58.300 I know where

00:50:59.440 this is going

00:50:59.800 and

00:51:01.240 she doesn't even 0.53

00:51:03.140 normally wear the hijab

00:51:03.820 I think he said to me

00:51:05.800 was it that

00:51:06.280 she has red hair 0.70

00:51:07.160 or something

00:51:07.540 she was like

00:51:07.960 a red hair sister 0.51

00:51:09.120 who goes clubbing

00:51:10.820 or whatever have you

00:51:11.400 but

00:51:11.840 she came to that event

00:51:13.840 on that day

00:51:14.520 MashaAllah

00:51:15.520 you know

00:51:16.100 better than not going

00:51:17.000 yeah better than not going

00:51:17.920 the fact that she came

00:51:19.000 and she was wearing the hijab

00:51:20.040 and she wanted to listen

00:51:21.600 to the reminder

00:51:22.260 she wanted to become

00:51:23.400 rejuvenated

00:51:24.100 she wanted to

00:51:24.940 really spiritually

00:51:26.180 cleanse herself

00:51:27.060 hearing the reminder

00:51:27.980 honestly there's good in her

00:51:29.840 right

00:51:30.120 and this is where we encourage

00:51:31.360 I don't care what lifestyle

00:51:32.460 you're currently living

00:51:33.180 come

00:51:33.920 and hopefully

00:51:35.300 inshaAllah

00:51:35.720 you will eventually

00:51:37.280 exit from that

00:51:38.740 You know, filthy lifestyle that you might be living

00:51:40.740 But if you don't take them steps forward

00:51:42.860 No one's going to do that for you

00:51:44.300 You see what I'm saying?

00:51:45.620 So you don't criticize Muslims that aren't perfect?

00:51:48.360 Of course not

00:51:48.900 Is there anyone that's perfect?

00:51:51.060 No, Islam is perfect 1.00

00:51:52.060 I'm not perfect, I have my show comments

00:51:53.440 None of us are perfect

00:51:54.100 Allah tells in the Quran

00:51:55.100 You were like that once upon a time

00:51:59.060 And Allah blessed you, He favored you

00:52:01.400 For I know the lifestyle that I was living

00:52:03.120 How can it be that I will end up looking down at someone?

00:52:06.080 I was like that once upon a time

00:52:07.180 I wouldn't have liked that

00:52:08.560 right

00:52:09.580 for myself

00:52:10.740 for someone to come

00:52:11.620 and look at me

00:52:12.220 in a certain way

00:52:12.900 you should never ever

00:52:14.300 walk past an individual

00:52:15.180 right

00:52:16.040 looking at him

00:52:17.100 in an arrogant way

00:52:18.080 it could be that

00:52:19.080 he's gonna go home now

00:52:20.020 and cry his eyes out

00:52:21.040 to God

00:52:21.420 seeking

00:52:22.320 or you know

00:52:23.200 begging for forgiveness

00:52:24.320 and because of that

00:52:25.820 he has a higher status

00:52:26.960 in the eyes of God

00:52:27.800 than you

00:52:28.140 Mr. Arrogant

00:52:28.900 right

00:52:30.160 so never

00:52:31.420 if anything

00:52:32.340 we should bring them close

00:52:33.200 and make them feel comfortable

00:52:34.400 Alhamdulillah man

00:52:36.600 you know

00:52:37.100 me saying that publicly

00:52:38.280 I think it was a huge cause

00:52:40.060 Of so many of the young people 0.98

00:52:41.220 Coming into the masjids 1.00

00:52:42.180 I've been to Canada

00:52:42.860 I've been to America

00:52:43.580 It's honestly been like

00:52:45.340 An eye open for me

00:52:46.960 And it was so beautiful

00:52:49.220 To see all of these young Muslims

00:52:50.480 In the masjid

00:52:52.940 When they wouldn't normally come

00:52:54.540 You know

00:52:55.400 I heard some very nice things

00:52:56.940 From brothers when I went to Canada

00:52:58.100 Especially the Ottawa

00:52:58.900 And they were saying

00:53:00.400 Brothers that they haven't seen

00:53:01.460 Since maybe high school days

00:53:02.760 They were there

00:53:03.240 You know

00:53:04.680 It brought a lot of people together

00:53:05.800 All wanting to benefit

00:53:06.820 May Allah bless everyone man

00:53:08.860 Have you noticed that you get attacks

00:53:11.340 Because you are spreading the truth

00:53:13.600 I hear that from a lot of the dawah 1.00

00:53:15.560 People saying that when you start

00:53:16.920 Being on your deen and doing the right thing

00:53:19.260 You notice it too

00:53:20.980 On twitter people are always trying to

00:53:23.640 Attack

00:53:24.960 Do you think it's safer to be with

00:53:26.840 I don't know how to put this

00:53:29.280 Are you going to be more protected from criticism

00:53:31.580 When you're with shaitan 0.99

00:53:32.460 Let me tell you one thing

00:53:33.840 If you want to aid and assist the people in embracing al-Islam and learning the right thing, 0.72

00:53:40.560 you want to give da'wah, you want to have the profession of Prophet Muhammad 1.00

00:53:44.880 may peace and blessings be upon him,

00:53:46.700 and you're not going to get attacked and criticized,

00:53:49.500 you're in the wrong field.

00:53:51.300 That is definitely without a shadow of a da'wah going to happen. 1.00

00:53:55.680 You know, the Sheikh Obama Shaikh, his name is Mughal bin Hadi al-Wadi'i, 0.69

00:53:58.500 he would say,

00:53:59.060 the one who wants to aid the truth

00:54:04.220 and it's not must that they speak about him

00:54:06.400 he would also say

00:54:07.200 that if you don't want anyone to speak about you

00:54:09.120 go and hide under a blanket and stay there

00:54:11.400 you are going to get spoken about

00:54:14.420 right

00:54:14.780 he said this to the prophet

00:54:17.980 may peace and blessings be upon him

00:54:19.220 no one has come with that

00:54:23.200 which you have come with

00:54:24.260 except that he was harmed

00:54:25.640 prophet jesus was harmed

00:54:27.000 prophet moses was harmed

00:54:28.400 You are going to get harmed.

00:54:30.120 Don't think that it's going to be plain saying it.

00:54:32.100 If people are not saying anything,

00:54:33.840 then know there's something wrong with you.

00:54:35.840 How can you expect everyone to be pleased with you?

00:54:37.740 That's impossible.

00:54:38.960 You need to check your message, my friends.

00:54:41.320 I have to say the right thing in the right way.

00:54:44.060 This is also very, very important.

00:54:45.160 We have to be wise in how we articulate that information.

00:54:49.080 If you are going around articulating that information

00:54:51.700 in a way that people can't digest,

00:54:53.820 you've only got yourself to blame

00:54:55.120 if the people start criticizing you over matters that

00:54:57.780 In essence, you know, shouldn't really be the case, if that makes sense.

00:55:03.640 You have to deliver that message and you're going to get harmed.

00:55:06.180 You can't expect everyone to be pleased with you.

00:55:08.440 Even that brother, you know, when I was speaking to the Warner,

00:55:11.420 he was saying to me that he was getting a lot of trouble from the Muslims.

00:55:14.140 Like, Muslims need to understand that people are on a journey that, you know, soft advice. 1.00

00:55:18.640 I don't think anyone is worse than Pharaoh.

00:55:21.500 You know Pharaoh?

00:55:22.200 No.

00:55:22.380 He's the one that would humiliate and massacre the people of Moses, right? 0.99

00:55:31.120 Oh, the pharaoh.

00:55:31.720 The pharaoh, yeah.

00:55:32.980 Like, this is a man that claimed,

00:55:34.340 I am your lord the most high.

00:55:36.720 He said he was God.

00:55:37.640 Yeah, he claimed, I am your lord the most high.

00:55:39.640 He claimed.

00:55:40.440 Is that why we mummified him to show everybody?

00:55:43.300 Sorry?

00:55:43.580 Is that why they made him a mummy afterwards?

00:55:45.860 Mummy?

00:55:46.460 Yeah.

00:55:47.220 Didn't they mummify the pharaohs afterwards to humiliate them for claiming that they were God? 0.90

00:55:51.120 Allah, he drowned

00:55:53.000 they say that his body is currently

00:55:55.140 whereas in Egypt

00:55:56.480 for him now to become a lesson

00:55:59.800 for those that come after him

00:56:01.260 having said that

00:56:03.880 the reason why I'm mentioning all of this is

00:56:05.120 when Allah sent 0.97

00:56:07.880 Moses and Aaron

00:56:09.660 Harun to Fir'aun 0.98

00:56:11.700 he told them

00:56:13.980 speak to him in a manner that is gentle

00:56:18.000 and soft, perhaps he may take

00:56:19.940 right we have to be soft and gentle with the people right so if you want to correct someone

00:56:25.560 that's giving dawah then be nice to him that's why you know the reason i mentioned all this is

00:56:30.440 the warner brother he was mentioning this right um salama is perfect and it's upon us to really

00:56:36.880 you know help each other out and bro like i've honestly stopped caring about the praises that

00:56:42.180 come my way and the criticism that come my way let go of your ego yeah bro man because you know

00:56:47.920 One day people will praise you and tomorrow they'll drop you and if you attach yourself too much the people brought them tomorrow when they're criticizing you

00:56:55.880 It's gonna be very harsh. Yeah, I realized that here during umrah is that you can't live for other people

00:57:00.680 You can't live for other people's validation how important that is

00:57:03.360 And I think a lot of people do social media encourages that you become a slave role become a slave

00:57:07.920 So other people's thoughts sent very good and you're never gonna be pleased that way

00:57:13.760 It's it's a dangerous it's a dangerous path to go down

00:57:17.920 not just people speaking about you

00:57:22.180 but have you noticed any

00:57:23.720 have you noticed any evil

00:57:25.940 try to come your way

00:57:27.100 what kind of evil

00:57:29.300 physically assaulted

00:57:30.520 I've been punched in the mouth

00:57:31.580 when I went to Canada 0.97

00:57:36.280 you had all the Zionists 1.00

00:57:38.140 and the gays trying to shut down my programs 1.00

00:57:41.980 you know why Canadians are very dear to my heart 0.95

00:57:44.860 you know why

00:57:45.420 Why?

00:57:46.180 Because not a single organization budget.

00:57:50.380 In Canada?

00:57:51.540 Yeah, in Canada.

00:57:52.080 None of them cancel the programs.

00:57:53.780 Really?

00:57:54.300 Yeah.

00:57:54.800 I thought they don't even have freedom of speech anymore.

00:57:56.140 Bro, we had 27 programs.

00:57:58.120 And I'm a very vocal individual.

00:57:59.560 I don't shy away from saying that, which is, right, correct,

00:58:02.380 especially about this whole rainbow stuff and that stuff that's going on

00:58:07.400 and whatever have you, right?

00:58:09.420 And let me make something very, very clear.

00:58:11.020 I'm not here to incite violence.

00:58:12.700 I'm not inciting violence.

00:58:13.940 it's a matter of freedom of speech, right?

00:58:16.800 But you're allowed to say whatever you want.

00:58:21.120 But you're saying that

00:58:22.800 I saw that there was a kid that was expelled from school

00:58:25.060 because he said that there was only two genders.

00:58:27.040 Where? Canada?

00:58:27.920 Yeah.

00:58:28.740 You got expelled from school for putting on a sign that said...

00:58:31.140 So they tried to basically...

00:58:32.500 They wanted to demonstrate and campaign in front of the university.

00:58:36.280 Eventually, they didn't end up coming.

00:58:38.680 Point is,

00:58:39.880 a Canadian, not a single one of them 1.00

00:58:41.540 cancelled a program.

00:58:43.060 And I just want to really show my appreciation.

00:58:46.120 Who are you shouting out? Justin Trudeau?

00:58:50.100 No, no, I'm talking about the organizations, you know.

00:58:52.860 You had problems in the United States getting shut down?

00:58:55.960 Let's put it this way, right?

00:58:59.400 Alhamdulillah, I got in, we did the programs.

00:59:03.860 Only Allah knows best whether I'm going to get another opportunity to go to America.

00:59:07.700 It's that bad?

00:59:10.100 I think what they fear the most is influence.

00:59:12.360 I can only praise Allah for whatever he's given me in terms of being able to get to

00:59:28.540 the people.

00:59:29.540 You will always have enemies bro, you think you're not going to have enemies when giving

00:59:33.960 dawah?

00:59:34.960 Oh, it's very naive to think like that, it is.

00:59:39.680 You're definitely going to try and get, people are going to try and harm you.

00:59:41.920 what's happening to you. 0.96

00:59:42.620 You just became Muslim. 0.97

00:59:44.260 Right?

00:59:44.840 You're not even really

00:59:45.780 going out your way

00:59:46.580 to give da'wah like that. 0.99

00:59:47.680 Right?

00:59:48.140 Look how they're treating you.

00:59:49.500 I do sometimes.

00:59:50.900 Yeah.

00:59:51.440 I have.

00:59:52.300 Yeah.

00:59:53.400 Why is it that they fear

00:59:54.480 influence the most?

00:59:56.780 Allah tells us

00:59:57.680 the Jews and the Christians

00:59:58.760 they'll never really be

00:59:59.680 pleased with you

01:00:00.380 until you follow

01:00:01.820 their religion.

01:00:03.200 Right?

01:00:04.560 You can't become a Jew. 1.00

01:00:07.520 They're never going to exceed.

01:00:08.600 They don't really let you

01:00:09.440 revert to you.

01:00:10.060 Yeah, but until you become

01:00:11.120 like enslaved

01:00:11.840 to their whatever they stand for. By the way, I'm not anti-Semitic. My father-in-law is actually

01:00:18.800 Jewish. My father-in-law is actually Jewish. Don't ask me any more questions. I'm not anti-Semitic.

01:00:24.880 I'm not inciting violence, but I'm just quoting the scripture. Everything that I say is in the

01:00:28.240 scripture. So that's exactly what I just mentioned. This is what is mentioned there. You will never

01:00:33.280 be pleased with you until, you know, even Allah tells us in another verse,

01:00:37.680 Do you not see the people of the book?

01:00:50.540 They buy, they spend with their money, right?

01:00:54.760 Misguidance, like they want to spread misguidance with their money.

01:00:57.320 Like, think about it, how much was spent by, you know, many Western governments in order to spread LGBTQ, you know, the rainbow ideology and whatever have you.

01:01:10.560 We're talking about trillions.

01:01:11.920 This is mentioned to us in the Quran.

01:01:13.760 They want to spread all of this stuff so that one is moved away from religiosity, from that godly spirituality that you take from the religion.

01:01:24.360 Does that make sense?

01:01:26.160 Completely.

01:01:26.480 that's how I think

01:01:27.620 people like me

01:01:28.700 ended up finding

01:01:29.420 ended up here

01:01:30.060 in a Khamese

01:01:31.060 in Medina

01:01:32.080 seeing that

01:01:33.280 it was clearly

01:01:33.840 trying to push people

01:01:34.520 away from God

01:01:35.180 yeah

01:01:35.600 clearly so

01:01:38.900 do you speak to

01:01:41.980 older people too

01:01:42.860 or just the youth

01:01:44.000 everyone

01:01:45.020 not just the youth

01:01:46.520 I have a

01:01:47.120 variety of people

01:01:48.100 that show interest

01:01:49.720 in the videos

01:01:50.280 that I release

01:01:50.700 because I try to teach

01:01:51.520 students some knowledge

01:01:52.240 I release courses

01:01:54.800 which is a little bit

01:01:55.860 more technical

01:01:56.380 where I go through books

01:01:59.740 all on the YouTube channel

01:02:00.720 and then also

01:02:01.380 mothers, elderly

01:02:04.880 they say they listen to the lectures

01:02:06.500 which is more catered for the youth

01:02:08.580 so I try to cater for everyone

01:02:13.600 and I think that's very very important

01:02:15.320 because everyone needs the message

01:02:18.060 at the end of the day

01:02:18.780 when you think about it

01:02:19.760 do old people have the same pushback 0.99

01:02:21.540 that young people have?

01:02:22.400 I think it's maybe a little bit harder with the elders

01:02:27.220 You know as the saying goes

01:02:29.080 You can't teach an old dog new tricks

01:02:31.140 It's a lot more harder

01:02:33.360 They're not moldable anymore

01:02:34.920 We can't say unrestrictedly

01:02:37.720 But of course there are those who are still willing to listen

01:02:40.260 But it's a lot more hard

01:02:41.520 I would put it like that

01:02:42.500 You know

01:02:43.920 But it's still possible

01:02:47.980 How would you recommend people

01:02:49.620 Because Allah can change their hearts very very quickly 1.00

01:02:51.560 Look subhanAllah how Allah has changed the hearts of many

01:02:55.280 Overnight it flipped

01:02:57.380 And then it became Muslim 0.97

01:02:58.440 Look at the kind of lifestyle you had

01:03:00.980 And then how you found faith

01:03:02.460 From the fortunate chosen ones

01:03:07.920 Hopefully inshallah after his life 1.00

01:03:11.600 So many other people are going to follow suit

01:03:14.020 How would you go about telling people to spread dawah 0.99

01:03:19.740 to their family and friends

01:03:21.280 without being pushy.

01:03:22.840 You know, I think

01:03:24.500 our actions go a very long way.

01:03:27.920 Right?

01:03:28.940 Actions speak louder than words.

01:03:31.700 Does that make sense?

01:03:32.820 Like when they see this good treatment,

01:03:34.940 like they see, you know,

01:03:37.000 like for example,

01:03:37.940 after someone's now become Muslim, 0.96

01:03:39.260 he goes and kisses his mother on the forehead.

01:03:42.300 I remember, subhanAllah, 0.99

01:03:43.260 one time I told his brother this,

01:03:44.520 he goes, I went and done that

01:03:45.460 and then my mom felt extremely awkward

01:03:47.840 and whatever have you.

01:03:48.540 but then eventually she started becoming a lot more accustomed to it

01:03:51.660 and she's thinking to herself

01:03:53.300 my son was a drug dealer

01:03:55.960 he was in and out of prison

01:03:56.980 but now he's found Islam and he's treating me so well

01:03:59.900 Islam is not that bad after all 1.00

01:04:02.340 you're right

01:04:02.700 because the rights that Islam gives to a mother 0.98

01:04:06.720 it's like no other religion 0.93

01:04:08.120 like the rights of God are

01:04:10.700 connected in three four places in the Quran

01:04:13.980 with the rights of the parents

01:04:15.880 Even though the rights of God are far more

01:04:18.200 Superior than the rights of your parents

01:04:21.560 But second in line is

01:04:23.380 You know

01:04:25.080 The rights of your parents

01:04:27.000 SubhanAllah

01:04:28.000 It shows you the importance of that

01:04:29.360 That you can't even kiss your teeth at your parents

01:04:32.300 You can't say

01:04:32.800 Even Allah tells us

01:04:36.620 وَإِن جَاهَدَكَ عَلَىٰ أَن تُشْرِكَ بِي مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِعِلْمٍ فَلَا تُطِعْهُمَا

01:04:40.740 Right

01:04:42.060 If they try to strive against you

01:04:43.880 in taking your religion away from you,

01:04:46.180 you're not allowed to obey them.

01:04:48.200 You're not allowed to conform to that.

01:04:49.840 However, in matters of the worldly affairs,

01:04:55.140 you have to be good to them.

01:04:56.940 You have to be their best of friends.

01:04:58.380 You have to be kind towards them and dutiful.

01:05:00.540 Even as non-Muslim parents, this is Islam for you. 0.99

01:05:04.120 Does that make sense?

01:05:05.200 Yes.

01:05:06.620 What's the verse in the Quran or the phrase in the Quran

01:05:09.440 that's resonated with you the most?

01:05:12.880 It's many.

01:05:13.880 Are you a Hafiz?

01:05:15.460 Yeah, there's many.

01:05:17.920 How long did it take you to...

01:05:19.020 So Hafiz is when you memorize the entire Qur'an?

01:05:21.340 How long did it take you?

01:05:21.860 It took me around eight months.

01:05:23.320 That's it?

01:05:24.920 I gave him my all, I stopped everything.

01:05:27.560 That's the only thing I was focusing on.

01:05:28.880 Locked in eight months?

01:05:29.600 I was in a village.

01:05:30.200 Yeah, I was in a village.

01:05:34.740 So I think maybe the verse that really, really...

01:05:38.200 You know, is when Allah said... 0.93

01:05:43.200 I think they're stream snipers

01:05:45.100 That's the big G

01:05:46.520 His name is Guled

01:05:48.260 He's Guled, you know 1.00

01:05:49.920 One of my most beloved brothers on the face of this earth

01:05:52.640 Oh, okay, okay

01:05:53.720 I think the verse would be

01:06:00.220 We are told

01:06:06.520 After we pass away, we'll be resurrected

01:06:08.840 In the afterlife, right?

01:06:10.900 and that which you weren't expecting

01:06:13.200 will now be displayed in front of you.

01:06:17.720 You can look at this from two angles

01:06:19.400 at the small little things that we do

01:06:21.560 out of kindness to others

01:06:22.900 or things that we might see as very trivial

01:06:26.460 which then is brought in front of us

01:06:31.900 and perhaps it may be the reason why we end up

01:06:34.700 being elevated in the ranks of paradise

01:06:37.600 or it could be small little things

01:06:40.160 that we took so lightly

01:06:41.140 from the sins that

01:06:43.880 we would just, you know,

01:06:46.200 not pay too much

01:06:47.300 concern to.

01:06:49.340 And then it

01:06:50.040 is brought

01:06:51.420 and we are held

01:06:52.120 to account for it.

01:06:53.820 Yeah.

01:06:55.320 And so many other verses

01:06:56.440 as well.

01:06:57.640 So many other verses.

01:06:58.640 Can I ask you

01:06:59.140 a personal question?

01:07:00.160 Yeah, go on.

01:07:01.020 What do you think

01:07:01.800 that you need to

01:07:03.240 work on the most?

01:07:04.780 I would say personally

01:07:05.900 because

01:07:06.580 what I realized is

01:07:08.260 You're a very good host.

01:07:09.180 You know that.

01:07:09.420 You have a lot of questions. Normally, the hosts run out of questions.

01:07:13.080 You're a very knowledgeable person. I can tell. I'm curious.

01:07:16.320 I want to learn a lot. I'm a curious person. I want to learn a lot about Islam.

01:07:20.160 I realized here on this Umrah trip that Islam is perfect, but all of us are imperfect. 1.00

01:07:25.540 Yeah, that's very true.

01:07:26.180 So being here and walking around the Kaaba and praying all the time,

01:07:29.560 you really get to analyze and reflect. It's way better than therapy.

01:07:33.380 You have this internal monologue and you get to see what's wrong,

01:07:37.720 what you need to work on the most.

01:07:39.420 Can I ask you, what do you think you need to work on the most?

01:07:43.740 And how are you doing that?

01:07:46.980 Well, this is an internal battle with anyone who is in the public eye.

01:07:51.820 And that is remaining sincere in the good that we want to, you know, put forth to others.

01:07:59.600 If we're not sincere in that which we do, none of it is going to get accepted by God, right?

01:08:04.660 So I constantly have to ask myself, am I really doing this for the sake of Allah?

01:08:08.560 or am i doing it for fame am i doing it to get likes am i doing this to get shares

01:08:13.920 right retweets whatever you want to call it i have to constantly ask myself this question so

01:08:20.640 it may well be before i lecture that i have to you know just kind of like rethink my intentions

01:08:26.520 as to why i'm doing this and then also while i'm recording whatever it might be i'm constantly

01:08:32.180 asking myself are you still doing it for the sake of god or you're just doing this to

01:08:35.640 Maybe show off to people

01:08:37.420 And this will be

01:08:39.260 A never ending internal battle

01:08:41.280 Right

01:08:42.940 Fame is a double edged sword

01:08:44.620 Yeah

01:08:45.260 Double edged sword

01:08:46.440 And I ask Allah to accept it from us

01:08:49.340 And to make us sincere

01:08:51.540 Right

01:08:52.920 And

01:08:54.360 It's a battle

01:08:55.660 We have to get through it

01:08:56.900 Just like everything else

01:08:57.880 Do you like being famous?

01:09:01.420 Wallahi

01:09:01.840 It's a matter of

01:09:04.300 Me having to live with it

01:09:05.400 That's how I personally look at it.

01:09:06.900 There were times in my life, especially when I came to Medina,

01:09:10.020 I began to wish that I was never known by the people

01:09:13.600 because I couldn't sit somewhere except people are looking at me.

01:09:16.740 And now this has multiplied by tenfold ever since I graduated.

01:09:22.400 And sometimes it can get very tiring, people stopping you all the time.

01:09:25.940 Especially here when you try to get away from love.

01:09:30.600 And sometimes you just want to kind of be alone

01:09:32.380 Because everyone knows you

01:09:34.080 They stop you constantly all the time

01:09:35.500 I know it means a lot to people

01:09:37.300 And I'm hoping as well

01:09:38.680 If I was to just give someone a couple of moments

01:09:41.360 That I'll be rewarded immensely for it by Allah

01:09:43.880 Because it means a lot

01:09:45.560 Sometimes just taking a selfie with the people

01:09:47.200 You see how much it means to the people

01:09:48.920 Sometimes you want that alone time

01:09:52.100 You come here as an escape

01:09:54.200 I think

01:09:57.060 I've seen some very well known people

01:09:59.360 Where mosques

01:10:01.260 They would wear the imamah just like that 0.99

01:10:04.020 Even at times when I just kind of like

01:10:06.080 Really don't want to be spotted

01:10:08.220 I try to take this off

01:10:09.880 I leave it at home

01:10:10.500 Because I think this is the attire that I've become so known for, right?

01:10:14.680 And even then people spot me

01:10:15.780 But it's more difficult for them to really

01:10:18.140 Identify that it's me

01:10:19.680 Right

01:10:20.360 Do you forget sometimes that you're famous?

01:10:26.480 Yeah, I think

01:10:27.240 Sometimes I just want to go to the shop

01:10:29.960 it's become a very different lifestyle

01:10:33.600 you know

01:10:33.960 I think we learnt it the hard way

01:10:39.800 in America

01:10:40.240 when I went to America

01:10:41.800 whenever they would say to me

01:10:44.720 do you want security

01:10:45.280 I was like come on guys man

01:10:46.340 forget about it

01:10:47.620 meaning like there's going to be

01:10:51.420 a lot of people that are coming

01:10:52.480 and I would just basically brush it off

01:10:54.960 and then later on I realized

01:10:56.720 okay look we're going to have an issue

01:10:58.360 with people's lives

01:10:59.220 If things are not organized properly

01:11:01.500 If there aren't enough

01:11:03.160 People supervising the area

01:11:05.520 Enough volunteers

01:11:06.740 When I went to Canada

01:11:08.240 Alhamdulillah

01:11:08.880 It was a lot more organized

01:11:10.300 Because we learned it the hard way

01:11:12.100 And it's something you just have to deal with

01:11:15.060 And ask Allah to protect your heart from fame

01:11:18.100 Because you could actually really destroy

01:11:19.540 Misusing the status that you have

01:11:23.100 By maybe doing the wrong thing

01:11:26.700 because fame sometimes

01:11:29.240 you know

01:11:29.600 with fame it comes

01:11:30.520 it brings about women 0.98

01:11:32.100 and women can actually 1.00

01:11:33.620 destroy you 0.59

01:11:34.440 right

01:11:35.860 can really really destroy you

01:11:37.540 and money can be

01:11:38.800 a huge fitna

01:11:39.480 for a person as well

01:11:40.420 can destroy him as well

01:11:42.580 you've seen it

01:11:44.100 I'm sure you've seen it too

01:11:44.680 fame as well

01:11:45.180 yeah yeah

01:11:45.640 without shadow of a doubt

01:11:46.400 what do you think

01:11:47.780 that other

01:11:48.340 dais

01:11:49.240 that's the word

01:11:49.920 correct

01:11:50.260 what do you think

01:11:50.900 other dais

01:11:51.400 have to work on the most

01:11:52.800 one thing

01:11:54.000 since coming into

01:11:54.620 the space

01:11:54.920 I've realized

01:11:55.380 a lot of them there's a lot of back and forth a lot of battles in the islamic community they have

01:12:01.040 beef with this person this person and there's a lot of ego at play especially when you have titles

01:12:06.720 like sheikh or like mufti um the sense of importance what do you think that islamic

01:12:14.480 scholars sheikhs or students of knowledge can work on the most so that we're all that will not 0.99

01:12:18.880 we but they're all united on the on the toheed yeah well i think you know most guys they that

01:12:26.500 are very well known they face the same challenges like showing humility right you were an unknown

01:12:34.100 person once upon a time you were ignorant and now maybe you're walking through the people

01:12:38.380 as if you've become someone in reality allah can take all of that away at any time 0.66

01:12:42.540 humility sincerity right i think uh they are you know some of the battles that i think we all need

01:12:51.960 to overcome when nobody's right allah is using us in fact he's kind he's uh uh allowed us to be

01:13:01.900 fortunate enough to be able to do his work you know his service to the people yeah

01:13:08.380 why did you

01:13:11.320 or

01:13:11.800 the better question is

01:13:13.200 what made you doubt

01:13:15.640 your faith the most

01:13:16.500 I'm sure you've had doubts

01:13:17.800 I'm sure you've had

01:13:18.580 questions

01:13:19.700 what was

01:13:21.160 an event or something

01:13:22.300 that made you

01:13:23.000 question

01:13:23.800 if Islam was really the truth 1.00

01:13:25.580 and if God was even real

01:13:26.860 honestly

01:13:28.040 I don't think I've ever had

01:13:29.080 that issue

01:13:29.380 never

01:13:30.020 never

01:13:30.440 you've never had a shadow

01:13:31.720 of doubt in your mind

01:13:32.400 never

01:13:32.620 because I know

01:13:34.220 everything that happens

01:13:35.220 it happens for a reason

01:13:36.060 I agree

01:13:36.660 everything that happens

01:13:38.280 happens for a reason right our intellects are so limited a very common question that we hear

01:13:45.180 atheists say or asking about is why is all of this evil allowing to be taking allowed to be

01:13:51.820 taking place right the lights turned off or okay thank you we can keep talking yeah why is all of

01:13:59.780 this allowed to be taking place you know there was really a god like your intellects are very

01:14:05.020 very limited like everything that happens you can put a spin of positivity on that right i'll give

01:14:12.500 you an example my friend got shot allah knows best that if he didn't get shot even though from the

01:14:19.900 apparent it comes across really evil why would someone so young you know be allowed to uh uh

01:14:27.420 to lose his life when he had his whole life ahead of him this is what people say all the time right

01:14:30.780 It was the reason why so many people left the streets

01:14:34.180 They better their lives

01:14:35.160 Someone to the Middle East 1.00

01:14:36.380 In order to go and learn about their religion

01:14:37.880 They brought about a lot of good

01:14:39.980 Right

01:14:41.340 And at the end of the day

01:14:42.400 It's Allah who creates 1.00

01:14:44.360 Right

01:14:45.280 It is He who creates

01:14:47.240 And gives life

01:14:48.100 And then takes away life

01:14:49.080 If you accept that Allah is the Almighty

01:14:51.860 And He's the entity that is above everyone else

01:14:54.400 Then He has every right to do as He wishes

01:14:56.720 Right

01:14:58.040 Sometimes Allah may take away a child from you

01:15:02.540 Right

01:15:03.620 And perhaps because Allah wants to protect you

01:15:06.700 From that which

01:15:07.400 Is far more severe

01:15:09.140 How many times have I come across a parent

01:15:11.320 Where they began to wish

01:15:13.180 That their children weren't alive

01:15:15.340 Because of how much trouble they gave them

01:15:17.320 Right

01:15:18.460 You know

01:15:22.060 SubhanAllah

01:15:22.560 Everything happens for a reason

01:15:24.480 Everything happens for a reason

01:15:25.960 that child

01:15:27.780 could have been

01:15:28.160 the reason why

01:15:28.900 you go through

01:15:30.140 so much trouble

01:15:30.720 in your life

01:15:31.220 right

01:15:33.140 it should work

01:15:34.500 how has

01:15:36.700 becoming a parent

01:15:37.780 changed you

01:15:38.820 as a Muslim 0.88

01:15:39.420 you want to fix that

01:15:40.680 I don't know

01:15:40.940 that's fine

01:15:41.560 I can turn it on

01:15:42.400 but

01:15:42.560 are you public

01:15:44.280 about being a parent

01:15:45.360 yeah

01:15:45.840 that's fine

01:15:46.240 that's absolutely fine

01:15:47.100 how has that changed

01:15:48.380 your perspective

01:15:49.060 because I think

01:15:49.960 a lot of people

01:15:50.360 that are watching

01:15:50.860 especially me

01:15:51.480 I want to have kids soon

01:15:54.080 I want to get married

01:15:55.000 I want to do the

01:15:55.640 Honestly, it comes with an experience that I think it's very hard to put into words.

01:16:01.740 You know?

01:16:03.120 It's really hard to put into words, man.

01:16:06.340 I'm a father of two daughters.

01:16:08.740 Mashallah.

01:16:09.420 And...

01:16:09.940 It's dead?

01:16:11.300 No, no, I think he accidentally switched it off.

01:16:12.860 Is it too dark?

01:16:13.760 How does it look?

01:16:15.500 It looks okay?

01:16:16.200 Yeah, you put the light on.

01:16:16.840 I think you should put the light on.

01:16:17.660 Yeah.

01:16:17.860 You turned it off or it died?

01:16:19.040 I don't know.

01:16:22.840 It might be dead.

01:16:24.200 No, it's all right.

01:16:25.640 Let's see if it stays on.

01:16:27.300 Yeah, no, it's dead.

01:16:29.400 Is it too dark? Let me see.

01:16:31.780 It's all right.

01:16:32.960 Yeah, I think it's fine.

01:16:41.120 Do you want some more water?

01:16:42.000 I'm just in a live stream.

01:16:44.360 I did speak to him.

01:16:45.020 I'll tell you after, inshallah.

01:16:55.640 I haven't opened the chat once. Usually when I stream, I'm looking at that chat the entire time. I've been completely looked

01:17:07.400 I'll take questions from the chat afterwards. That sounds too fun. Oh, they're saying W. They like it. Hey guys

01:17:13.080 What do you think of the bald head? Do I look like a monk? People are saying I look like Avatar the last airbender

01:17:17.980 I should need a blue arrow pointing right down

01:17:20.360 I'm gonna keep it going I'm gonna keep I want to keep the shaved head look at me

01:17:26.120 I feel like a new man this is coming from right I would say I saw

01:17:29.360 simultaneously feel like a new man and a newborn baby at the same time I feel

01:17:33.560 like how I was as a kid pure-hearted you know not corrupted by anything but

01:17:37.580 also how I'm ready to take our new challenge of I've matured and also

01:17:42.200 reverted to like my childlike state but I hope all you guys were stingy with

01:17:47.180 shaving your head can take a lesson from that the sneaker can do it every

01:17:51.460 single one of you guys can do it sometimes a bit stingy I've got long

01:17:53.960 hair it's like he's obsessed with his hair you know yours pretty long no not

01:17:58.800 my one I'm talking about others who come from Umrah hair is because they are so

01:18:04.460 in love with their hair they don't want to take it off my sneaker done it you

01:18:08.480 guys can do it as well I recommend it for especially for dudes instead of

01:18:13.300 of looking I noticed that too on this trip is that the problem that a lot of men face is that

01:18:19.320 we used to live externally like within first person shooter mode like how you play call of

01:18:23.580 duty you're just looking out into the world and it's our job to create and provide but the phone

01:18:28.140 and social media has made us look more internally than ever and things like hair and being attached

01:18:34.060 to your your looks and your appearance it's not what we're supposed to be doing I think but what's

01:18:39.960 significance behind? In Islam, there's a lot of significance on the internal aspect of a human

01:18:46.200 being. Like the messenger, may peace and blessings be upon him, he said,

01:18:59.000 Allah does not really, you know, care too much about your outer appearance. He doesn't look at 0.99

01:19:07.080 that or what color or what race you are no he cares more about your heart and also your actions

01:19:17.360 now think about it right this materialistic world how many hours do we spend in front of the mirror

01:19:23.820 or trying to or trying to maybe beautify our outer appearance our sisters how many hours would you

01:19:31.900 spend you know doing your face up doing yourself up likewise brothers spending x amount of

01:19:37.060 hours a day in the gym trying to perfect the outer appearance i would normally say to our brothers we

01:19:43.300 spend all this time in the gym right picking up 120 kilos to the point where you're able to bend

01:19:49.140 it huh that's how strong you are but then we struggle to pick up our blankets for uh for

01:19:55.860 fajr or maybe yeah that's another one to pick up the quran maybe it's a bit too heavy right blanket 1.00

01:20:00.420 time is only how many grams? Right? What? 50 grams? Never weighed a blanket, but we struggled

01:20:09.820 to pick that up at fajr time, you know? So we have to give more time to, even if we just

01:20:15.020 give a fraction of that time that we spend fixing our out appearance to our spirituality,

01:20:21.540 learning about our religion, we'd be in a much better place. Yeah. I was asking you

01:20:28.860 About fatherhood

01:20:30.620 What advice would you have

01:20:32.540 I have a lot of young men watching

01:20:34.320 And me, curiously

01:20:35.840 How do you prepare as a Muslim 0.92

01:20:38.260 Or even if you're not

01:20:39.700 How do you prepare for fatherhood

01:20:41.100 The best thing you can do for yourself and for your children

01:20:44.160 Is to fix yourself

01:20:45.280 Because you are their example

01:20:46.960 You are the person that they look at most of the time

01:20:50.780 You and also the wife

01:20:52.920 Their mother

01:20:53.700 So picking a righteous mother 1.00

01:20:56.160 Goes a very long way

01:20:58.240 the direction that the children end up taking

01:21:00.400 when growing up.

01:21:03.280 If it's a mother that's sitting in front of Netflix all day long, 0.94

01:21:06.240 the children are going to become hypnotized.

01:21:08.200 Netflix kids.

01:21:09.340 Yeah, Netflix kids.

01:21:11.400 When a woman's going around dressed a certain way, 1.00

01:21:15.020 you might be okay with that.

01:21:17.020 But is that how you want your kids to be growing up?

01:21:23.680 Dressing in a very inappropriate way,

01:21:26.460 if that makes sense.

01:21:28.240 How do you go about picking the right woman? 0.99

01:21:34.080 I hear a lot of people say that that's the most important decision

01:21:36.100 that a man ever makes 0.98

01:21:38.240 is picking the right mother of his children.

01:21:40.860 Yeah, of course.

01:21:41.340 You have to look at her etiquette.

01:21:42.540 You have to look at how she dignifies herself.

01:21:46.020 You have to look at her religion. 0.81

01:21:48.240 And this is the advice that our Prophet gave.

01:21:51.560 He says a woman is married due to four reasons.

01:21:54.640 Number one, her beauty.

01:21:56.400 Number two, her lineage.

01:21:58.240 Number three the wealth that she possesses and number four is her religion and then the messenger may peace and blessings be upon him

01:22:03.480 He emphasized that fourth one. Does that mean you do not take into consideration all of the other ones? No, that's wrong

01:22:09.460 And I think sometimes our brothers and sisters. They misconstrued that

01:22:13.660 Right. No one is saying to you. They should only marry a woman that has religion 1.00

01:22:17.460 But then you're not attracted to her. No, you have to be attracted especially in the sexualized society that we live in

01:22:22.780 Right, so there has to be a level of attraction

01:22:25.440 you know there has to be that spark when you see her because one of the whole

01:22:30.280 objectives of getting married is to protect yourself from haram you know 0.99

01:22:35.120 it's meant to be there to lower your gaze and so when you see a lady you're

01:22:39.480 thinking I've got a nice lady at home right I don't need to look at her so 1.00

01:22:44.720 that's very very important but most importantly it is the religion because

01:22:49.140 the religion is that what mainly lasts one's beauty fades away as you may appreciate right

01:22:56.500 it fades away even guys they're very handsome yeah you want to sit here yeah it's fine

01:23:03.900 what's your name hamza hamza

01:23:08.840 I did come to Bradford last summer

01:23:23.880 I took part in a conference that he had

01:23:27.780 Would you marry a Christian or a Jew?

01:23:35.780 Nope

01:23:36.180 I wouldn't

01:23:38.540 You're allowed to, right?

01:23:40.140 Islamically, there are conditions and everything.

01:23:42.480 But living in the West,

01:23:45.880 marrying a Christian lady or a Jewish lady,

01:23:47.780 I want my kids to grow up with Islam. 1.00

01:23:50.660 You may find yourself in a constant battle

01:23:55.040 of what your children are going to pick up.

01:23:58.300 See what I'm saying?

01:24:00.240 So, yeah, man.

01:24:02.040 Would you even raise your kid?

01:24:03.940 I don't want to bring my kids up in the West.

01:24:06.660 I agree completely.

01:24:08.540 where should we go

01:24:10.260 for the people watching that

01:24:11.780 recently I got invited to go to Kenya

01:24:13.240 to live?

01:24:14.640 no I got invited to do a program

01:24:16.180 I did a tour there

01:24:16.900 and I've been exploring

01:24:18.980 different countries

01:24:20.560 to move my family to

01:24:22.200 and honestly Kenya just went top of the list man

01:24:24.880 so it's something I'm really looking into

01:24:28.480 do you speak the language at all?

01:24:30.580 they all speak English

01:24:31.160 they speak English better than me and you my friend

01:24:33.720 yeah man

01:24:34.860 it's one of those countries that have been colonized

01:24:37.640 By the British

01:24:39.620 The English is very very good

01:24:41.440 In fact I honestly believe it's better than mine

01:24:42.800 Because they studied the English language

01:24:44.840 We grew up speaking English right

01:24:46.340 Because of the environment

01:24:47.180 Normally when you study

01:24:48.640 Likewise in Nigeria

01:24:49.480 Their English is better than ours 1.00

01:24:50.720 Come on

01:24:51.360 Yeah without a shadow of a doubt

01:24:52.760 I've had Nigerian classmates

01:24:54.180 Honestly I was taken aback by

01:24:57.340 The level

01:24:58.540 Their level in English

01:24:59.760 Yeah

01:25:01.900 You would go all the way there?

01:25:03.260 Huh?

01:25:03.700 You would really move to Africa?

01:25:05.080 Yeah yeah Kenya 0.99

01:25:05.600 Kenya is very different

01:25:06.460 I think you should go visit

01:25:07.300 I've never been I've not been a morocco. Yeah, so one place I want to see 0.99

01:25:12.540 Can you explain what do you I want to say afraid of but what do you want to shield your children from the most when it comes to raising

01:25:19.140 society

01:25:20.180 It's a sexualized society and it's not just that aspect of things right the doubts

01:25:25.940 That is being ingrained and instilled within

01:25:30.000 You know young people today like our child goes to school and comes out confused about the agenda

01:25:35.480 This was unheard of when we were growing up.

01:25:37.880 Unheard of, my friend.

01:25:40.340 Now, Dad, I don't know which gender I am.

01:25:43.600 I don't know what I am.

01:25:45.500 Confused.

01:25:46.560 Isn't that the reality?

01:25:47.580 That's the reality, my friend.

01:25:49.520 Why would I want my child to be growing up in this kind of environment?

01:25:52.840 You tell me.

01:25:55.680 There is no reason.

01:25:56.480 And then the doubts that they're getting about their faith.

01:26:00.380 You know what I call the universities in the West?

01:26:02.420 A breeding ground for kufr, disbelief. 1.00

01:26:04.860 shirk, politism,

01:26:07.200 liberalism, secularism,

01:26:08.820 and of course the

01:26:10.680 rainbow team are extremely active.

01:26:12.920 Again, I'm not inside the violence.

01:26:15.060 Right?

01:26:16.760 What if you say that?

01:26:18.220 Yeah man, just kind of like

01:26:20.220 these guys are always going to try

01:26:22.860 and misconstrue our statements, right?

01:26:24.960 That's why you got banned from the States.

01:26:27.260 I never said it about banned.

01:26:28.480 I never said it about banned.

01:26:30.340 I would never send my daughter to in the backseat.

01:26:32.260 They go in there, they could be a guy.

01:26:34.080 it's a breeding ground

01:26:35.280 it's a breeding ground

01:26:36.180 it's a breeding ground

01:26:37.500 my friend

01:26:37.880 yeah

01:26:39.080 but sometimes you can't escape it

01:26:43.980 like isn't it kind of feeding into the rest of the world

01:26:46.100 I was speaking to some Saudis in Riyadh

01:26:49.320 and they were saying that

01:26:50.820 the girls here 0.99

01:26:51.700 they're forgetting their grandma's recipes

01:26:53.280 there's a divorce rate something like 37%

01:26:56.300 and they don't know how to cook as well anymore

01:26:58.300 and they're starting to get that feminist ideology 1.00

01:27:01.020 they're not the same women 0.96

01:27:03.340 that their grandmothers were?

01:27:04.640 Unfortunately, these ideologies are creeping into a lot of households, right? 0.55

01:27:09.880 Everywhere you go, you see these ideologies are creeping in

01:27:13.060 because of the internet, which is a fingertip away.

01:27:15.700 Does that make sense?

01:27:17.100 It is a fingertip away, and information is so easily accessible.

01:27:22.380 Does that make sense?

01:27:23.320 It's so easily accessible. 0.97

01:27:25.500 And it's so easy to become overwhelmed by the filth and the garbage that is out there.

01:27:29.900 So we have to, of course, go back to the drawing board,

01:27:32.380 start educating not only ourselves but the families

01:27:35.220 you know our relatives around us

01:27:36.940 without education

01:27:38.420 right you're like a sponge that's ready to

01:27:41.420 right

01:27:42.660 take everything in

01:27:44.460 would you let your kids use

01:27:47.040 smartphones

01:27:47.760 I try to keep my daughters

01:27:50.860 my daughter the oldest one

01:27:53.440 she's only 2 years of age

01:27:54.400 it's very limited amount of time

01:27:57.200 that she goes onto the ipad

01:27:58.500 she's 2? and she has an ipad?

01:28:00.820 No, she doesn't have an iPad.

01:28:01.940 It's my iPad.

01:28:02.940 Okay.

01:28:03.380 But she sometimes watches these videos of little girls praying.

01:28:06.920 Oh, mashallah.

01:28:07.700 Right?

01:28:08.720 But the screen time I'm talking about, the screen time, having a lot of that is not good for her.

01:28:13.560 So she basically starts learning how to pray and everything.

01:28:16.740 She's already been praying with us around her and everything.

01:28:19.380 She's two and she's praying.

01:28:20.180 Oh, Wallahi, we don't force anything upon her.

01:28:22.540 Because her mother's dressed a certain way, I'm dressed a certain way.

01:28:26.540 She starts dressing.

01:28:27.980 Like how you do it.

01:28:28.800 Yeah.

01:28:29.620 But it's not bad to force your kids to do something.

01:28:31.940 No, but at that age, you know, we shouldn't be doing that.

01:28:34.980 But it's more like the actions speak louder than the words, you know.

01:28:38.740 Sometimes you just need to behave a certain way in order for the people around you to become impacted.

01:28:43.020 Right.

01:28:43.540 See what I'm saying?

01:28:44.340 At two, you even notice the...

01:28:45.880 Oh, she prays and everything.

01:28:47.700 May Allah bless her and everyone say, mashallah.

01:28:49.480 She does this too.

01:28:50.600 She says...

01:28:50.920 For everything, I think.

01:28:52.000 At two.

01:28:53.200 Mashallah.

01:28:55.100 How old is the youngest one?

01:28:56.520 the other one is

01:28:57.260 I think she's coming up

01:28:58.720 to one year now

01:28:59.520 okay

01:28:59.900 this one's coming up

01:29:01.080 to three

01:29:01.420 so they'll just

01:29:04.540 basically copycat

01:29:05.600 you know children

01:29:06.700 at as young

01:29:08.320 as one years of age

01:29:09.560 they are copycats

01:29:10.380 my friend

01:29:10.740 they'll just copy

01:29:12.140 whatever you're doing

01:29:12.760 see what I'm saying

01:29:14.400 lead by example

01:29:15.660 yeah that's it

01:29:16.640 that's it man

01:29:17.480 that's exactly it

01:29:19.040 are these all

01:29:20.720 you students

01:29:21.360 that are coming around here

01:29:21.980 you seem like you recognize

01:29:22.940 a lot of people coming around here

01:29:23.440 no no

01:29:23.860 the brother's here for Umrah

01:29:26.300 Yeah, I know a lot of them.

01:29:28.580 How long have you been doing it for now?

01:29:30.000 How long has it been?

01:29:30.740 Yeah, you have to get some rest before Fajr, right? 0.56

01:29:33.860 No, no, I'm all right, man.

01:29:34.560 I can go on all night.

01:29:35.540 You can?

01:29:36.220 Do they have any questions?

01:29:37.260 Yeah, we do, we do, we do.

01:29:38.440 I still have a lot more.

01:29:39.340 I can keep going.

01:29:40.360 Just take it to time.

01:29:41.360 They're saying move to Israel.

01:29:45.000 That's funny.

01:29:47.360 You don't want to talk about what's going on in Israel Palestine.

01:29:55.420 no alhamdulillah we've already discussed it in a lot of detail and everyone is kind of like

01:30:02.500 already aware you know may allah azza wa jal aid and assist our brothers and sisters in palestine

01:30:08.440 i think the world can see so clearly and explicitly right who the violator and all of this is who the

01:30:15.420 aggressor is it's there for the world to see right and um you know um yeah man keep helping

01:30:25.580 our brothers by making a lot of dua for them right right keep paying charity through whatever

01:30:30.680 you can boycotting all these products that's helping right uh i'm talking about the western

01:30:36.480 countries boycotting their products that they may be using now to help the uh the idf with

01:30:44.000 who do we block out it's mcdonald's starbucks there's a whole list that they put out a whole

01:30:49.600 list starbucks and these kind of places yeah i'm so happy that so many people have come to know the

01:30:58.780 reality of what was going on every time they try to fabricate a lie it gets exposed immediately

01:31:04.760 that's the fastest i've ever seen it because it's been going on for 20 years and they

01:31:08.220 There is that guy on Twitter, I forgot his name.

01:31:14.060 Every day he's posting, subhanAllah, I forgot his name.

01:31:16.820 I think it's something Jackalsville or Urabi.

01:31:20.480 You know, the truth will come out.

01:31:23.260 And Allah will extinguish this falsehood that people come with.

01:31:28.680 Yeah, brothers, man, and sisters, honestly,

01:31:31.980 it's a sad reality that they are experiencing at this moment in time.

01:31:36.360 And we ask Allah to give our brothers and sisters victory

01:31:39.620 And to aid and assist them

01:31:41.340 I'm surprised that sometimes I'm hesitant to ask people about that

01:31:45.800 Because I'm used to the influencer world

01:31:47.200 And you'd be surprised

01:31:48.460 So many of them know the truth

01:31:50.060 They know that Palestine

01:31:51.600 They need to be free

01:31:52.680 It's genocide

01:31:55.040 All of them are afraid to talk about it

01:31:59.220 It's common knowledge for most people

01:32:01.440 And I go on a podcast and I talk about it

01:32:02.960 I'll tell you because fear-mongering tactics have been used to shut people out.

01:32:08.480 Is it fear-mongering or they just want to lose brand deals and sponsors?

01:32:10.760 No, but that's exactly what it is.

01:32:12.040 The moment you say something, you're going to get cancelled.

01:32:14.380 Canceled by who?

01:32:15.460 By a lot of these individuals that have influence on these organizations and companies and whatever have you.

01:32:20.480 This is what's going to happen.

01:32:22.800 Allahumma sallam, this is the strategy that is used now to shut people down.

01:32:29.780 Alhamdulillah

01:32:30.440 Right

01:32:31.400 No one's even inciting violence

01:32:33.220 I'll make this crystal clear

01:32:34.520 We're not inciting violence

01:32:35.900 But the truth is told

01:32:38.060 When the truth needs to be told bro

01:32:39.820 And we can see who the oppressed is

01:32:42.040 And who the aggressor

01:32:43.040 The aggravator is

01:32:44.380 It's very clear for everyone to see

01:32:45.960 Have you been cancelled?

01:32:50.660 Have you

01:32:51.020 What have you noticed?

01:32:51.940 They try to get me cancelled

01:32:52.740 For what?

01:32:53.760 Homophobia?

01:32:54.600 They try to

01:32:55.040 Whatever they try to call me like

01:32:56.440 You know

01:32:56.720 How you gonna call me anti-Semitic

01:32:58.740 When my father knows Jewish 0.77

01:32:59.660 every time he comes to your father's jewish yeah my wife's never been jewish so but um

01:33:03.700 he's always been jewish um but he's like not that much of a practicing jew if that makes sense

01:33:09.360 um but he comes over i take good care of him i put a hole in my pocket i take him to the top

01:33:15.980 restaurants and anyone else from the jewish community wants to come see me when i go back

01:33:20.860 to the uk you see them you're more than welcome man my grandfather was a jew maybe yeah so uh

01:33:27.300 How can I be anti-Semitic?

01:33:29.400 I'm not anti-Semitic. 0.96

01:33:30.360 You are Semitic. 0.99

01:33:31.320 Yeah.

01:33:31.880 Even if you look up the definition of what Semiticism actually means.

01:33:35.000 I think, again, it's just, you know,

01:33:38.680 this monopolization of words and phrases and definitions

01:33:41.160 that, again, we've fallen victim to.

01:33:44.100 Fear-mongering tactics have been used for us to think a certain way

01:33:47.660 or to look at things in a certain manner.

01:33:51.100 You know? 0.99

01:33:51.620 Things are ridiculous. 0.99

01:33:52.580 Absolutely ridiculous. 0.97

01:33:54.840 I've never incited violence towards anyone.

01:33:56.600 when I was in the UK.

01:33:58.460 However, I'm not going to shy away, right?

01:34:01.000 Or be apologetic about what we believe in the Quran

01:34:03.580 and in the sunnah of the Messiah.

01:34:07.140 And this is something that has been really appreciated

01:34:09.120 by a lot of people.

01:34:12.820 As you mentioned, people are scared for their jobs.

01:34:14.960 People are scared for their organizations

01:34:16.080 and being cut off and whatever.

01:34:17.840 It's these rich people too.

01:34:18.900 They don't even have that much to lose.

01:34:20.180 They can still be able to monetize it.

01:34:22.120 They can't say it.

01:34:22.760 I was disgusted at Floyd Mayweather.

01:34:24.540 Mayweather, like,

01:34:25.200 You think he cares about Jews across the world and Israel?

01:34:28.200 Like, why is he putting a black power fist for Jews? 0.60

01:34:30.680 This dude, he's clearly, he has money in his name.

01:34:33.400 Like, you know, but you don't get any money for saying Free Palestine. 0.97

01:34:36.020 I think it's pure and utter ignorance.

01:34:37.280 I don't think it's ignorance.

01:34:38.380 I think he's getting paid to say that.

01:34:40.000 He's not ignorant.

01:34:40.980 This guy's smart.

01:34:41.800 He's like, he's navigating the world.

01:34:43.020 He's dealt with some of the richest people.

01:34:44.600 There's no way that he's brainwashed to think that Israel is being oppressed right now.

01:34:51.400 There's no, someone is paying him.

01:34:53.300 I mean, Palestine meaning the president.

01:34:56.600 This guy is...

01:36:24.600 You're right?

01:36:26.180 Yeah, yeah.

01:36:26.680 The second that we told him that you were here this whole time,

01:36:28.940 we'd be like, we'd be trolling him around the same room.

01:36:30.800 We'd be like, oh, I got a sneak out.

01:36:33.880 How do you know?

01:36:34.940 Don't tell him how to find out.

01:36:36.360 It's fine.

01:36:40.940 The first time we saw you, me and him.

01:36:44.280 Earlier, when we took a picture with you guys,

01:36:46.580 we walked in here and we were dead tired.

01:36:48.440 And then he like, I was thinking this way, he was thinking that way, and he goes, Abut Damia?

01:36:53.080 I thought he was joking.

01:36:54.280 So I turned around, he was like, Abut Damia.

01:36:56.580 And we walked a little bit closer.

01:36:58.020 We saw the live meds shop, we just ran down the street, man.

01:37:01.000 We couldn't.

01:37:01.720 Yeah, we were just going to sit down and do it.

01:37:18.380 I feel like a new man

01:37:19.740 I feel completely refreshed

01:37:21.120 Have you all done it before?

01:37:23.040 No

01:37:26.800 It's a lot of work

01:37:28.220 I'm not going to lie

01:37:28.820 I didn't know how much running it was

01:37:30.120 It's a workout 0.99

01:37:32.040 You can't be a fat Muslim 1.00

01:37:33.900 You're going to pass out 0.99

01:37:35.420 Islam really does promote fitness

01:37:37.760 Because you need to be in shape to finish a walk

01:37:39.840 100%

01:38:20.360 May Allah accept all your dua

01:38:22.500 Do you mind if I just ask you one quick question?

01:38:28.380 I'm on the campus right now, alhamdulillah

01:38:30.100 I started my first year at uni

01:38:31.440 And I've had a lot of, alhamdulillah, our MSA is very active, inshaAllah

01:38:35.340 With the Palestinian protests and trying to spread awareness for it, inshaAllah 0.96

01:38:38.320 But we've had a lot of pushback from the Zionists and stuff 1.00

01:38:42.300 They've like tried to stop our meetings. We tried to hold like a peaceful protest on our campus and like they tried to shut it down

01:38:47.840 And then they're turning around and they're saying that they're they're turning around and saying that we're being anti-semitic towards them

01:38:53.480 No, no, and just say you guys are being Islamophobic. Yeah, that's what we try to say to them 0.93

01:38:57.560 But the university is not listening to us

01:38:58.900 So we're trying to we're trying to come up with a solution where we're able to speak what we're supposed to be speaking

01:39:04.620 But we're being having these pushback by these Zionists and we don't want to like, you know 1.00

01:39:08.800 Cause problems and you know prove their point we want to show that Islam is not something that you push forward and like try to be oppressive against

01:39:15.060 No, we're trying to show that this is what you guys are doing

01:39:17.340 We're not here to retaliate and show that you know just because you're putting violence against us

01:39:21.300 We're going to put violence against you that no 0.98

01:39:22.600 We're going to show you that Islam is unity and we're going to show that

01:39:26.040 We want to have this power that we're standing with the Palestinian people despite what you guys are putting against us

01:39:30.460 But the university is making it very hard

01:39:32.220 I have nothing in life comes easy, especially if you're Muslim. We've all faced challenges.

01:39:37.220 I've faced a lot of challenges in my life. Him being a Muslim now, he's being berated by the Islamophobes, right?

01:39:43.220 So with perseverance, with patience, inshallah, you know, keep making a lot of dua, keep trying to do the right thing.

01:39:52.220 Yeah

01:39:53.500 I appreciate it

01:39:55.640 Great to meet you

01:40:09.560 Yeah

01:40:14.800 Okay great to meet you man

01:40:19.140 Assalamualaikum

01:40:19.700 They said that you have a beautiful voice

01:40:26.240 And they're asking if you can do more

01:40:27.740 Quran recitations

01:40:29.960 It starts off by saying

01:40:32.980 Well I want to ask

01:40:35.000 Two questions

01:40:36.380 I learned a couple phrases while I was here

01:40:38.400 When you say Muhammad's name you say 1.00

01:40:40.220 Salaallahu alayhi wa sallam

01:40:42.960 MashaAllah

01:40:43.560 I said it right?

01:40:45.080 Yeah very right

01:40:45.700 You can memorize the Quran man 1.00

01:40:48.880 You've got the...

01:40:49.940 I do, I have it.

01:40:50.580 Yeah, man, you have it, man.

01:40:51.600 And then the first prayer is...

01:40:54.040 I'll learn more.

01:41:01.760 You'll learn it, inshallah.

01:41:02.340 I had it better before, but can you give me another...

01:41:07.380 Practice makes perfect.

01:41:08.340 It's such a beautiful...

01:41:09.300 It's like the whole Quran is like... 1.00

01:41:11.160 The whole book is like a song, front to back.

01:41:12.860 if i can just advise the people who are listening to

01:41:19.060 maybe invest in this 10 volume tafsir

01:41:22.940 right explanation of the quran

01:41:26.000 explanation of the quran which has been translated into english is 10 volumes

01:41:30.240 i think it's only like 150 pounds 150 pounds

01:41:33.620 where you end up learning the meanings of the quran

01:41:37.080 does that make sense we end up learning the meanings of the quran

01:41:39.940 And you'll become so much more connected to the Quran

01:41:44.760 And you'll honestly just really

01:41:46.300 Live it

01:41:47.600 Every day as you're reading it

01:41:49.760 So it's called

01:41:51.520 Tafseer ibn Kathir

01:41:52.680 Tafseer ibn Kathir

01:41:55.220 You type it into Google

01:41:58.000 It comes up being sold on Amazon

01:41:59.540 It should be sent over

01:42:01.260 We have a question from Muhammad 1.00

01:42:04.200 He said

01:42:04.740 Ask Sheikh about

01:42:06.400 Tasawuf and Makamah

01:42:09.400 I have no idea what this means

01:42:13.340 So, tasawuf in within itself 0.83

01:42:15.380 Is not something that is bad

01:42:16.580 This means spirituality

01:42:18.860 And so on and so forth

01:42:20.060 Like astrology?

01:42:21.860 No, spirituality, doing a lot of remembrance

01:42:24.320 Spirituality, you know, the cleansing of the heart 0.78

01:42:27.060 And so on and so forth

01:42:27.980 There's a lot of things that you can do

01:42:30.580 That you can study, that you can read on

01:42:32.060 For example, reading up the lives of the righteous of the past

01:42:34.380 Is something that really does soften up your heart

01:42:35.920 And how the heart works

01:42:38.300 and so on and so forth.

01:42:39.180 I've done a lot of lectures on it.

01:42:41.020 Ways to soften up your heart.

01:42:42.620 This is called tasawuf, right?

01:42:45.740 Another way of maybe looking at it is,

01:42:48.240 or should I say another word for tasawuf 0.63

01:42:50.760 would be taskir to nafs.

01:42:52.520 However, over time,

01:42:53.820 it's become associated with things

01:42:55.780 that are not in line with normative Islam.

01:42:59.820 And because of it, it has such a negative.

01:43:04.000 Is the battery about dying?

01:43:04.940 Yeah, I think so.

01:43:05.600 Let me change the battery in that.

01:43:06.980 I don't want to.

01:43:08.300 Yeah, real quick chat. Well, we're gonna have one second battery changing

01:43:17.120 How to move look at him. Oh

01:43:24.140 Yeah, that's why all your engagement stuff. That's what that's why that's why you have over 500 likes more

01:43:31.940 Do you do my maybe I could prop this up here

01:43:38.300 Do you mind if I go to the bathroom real quickly?

01:43:48.300 Give me one second, let me go pee.

01:43:50.300 I'll be right back.

01:44:03.300 How do you think this is going?

01:44:05.300 Amazing

01:44:06.300 Amazing

01:44:07.300 Alhamdulillah

01:44:16.300 Allah was alive

01:44:18.300 Yeah Allah

01:44:19.300 I have

01:44:20.300 From where to where?

01:44:35.300 Thank you.

01:45:05.300 Alhamdulillah

01:45:35.300 I hope you're doing well, I have a request, can you ask Sheikh Osman how many wives he

01:46:01.060 Is it live?

01:46:03.060 Yeah

01:46:15.060 Let me get a flashlight

01:46:23.060 What was I just asking you?

01:46:25.060 About the issue of the soul

01:46:27.060 Yes, yes, about softening your heart

01:46:29.060 Yeah, but softening your heart.

01:46:30.460 Yeah.

01:46:32.700 Sort of.

01:46:34.260 Yeah.

01:46:38.140 The Quran teaches.

01:46:40.420 So in within itself, the concept of the sawaf is to scare to nafs. 0.99

01:46:44.700 It is to soften up your heart and so on and so forth, cleansing it, that spirituality aspect and so on and so forth.

01:46:52.840 However, over time

01:46:54.780 The Sawwaf has become 0.90

01:46:57.260 So associated with other aspects

01:46:59.980 That are not in line with the Deen

01:47:01.240 Not in line with our religion 0.98

01:47:02.860 So the distinction

01:47:05.020 Does need to be made

01:47:07.060 And we focus to the aspect of the Sawwaf 1.00

01:47:10.100 That is actually in line with the religion

01:47:11.580 And that which isn't

01:47:13.140 And of course, doing Dhikr 0.99

01:47:14.600 This is something that is mentioned in the Quran

01:47:16.180 Constantly remembering Allah 0.96

01:47:18.180 This is again one of the things

01:47:20.600 That really suffers up your heart

01:47:21.940 right

01:47:22.920 so you you must have seen

01:47:27.920 uh talk about the red pill online yeah i think my you talked about the the spiritual awakening

01:47:34.440 happening about a year and a half ago that's when i started live streaming so live streaming i

01:47:37.420 didn't really it was kind of lost and then started getting angry when i realized that

01:47:42.820 they're brainwashing us with liberalism feminism that they're indoctrinating us and making us 1.00

01:47:46.720 depressed and fat and they're trying to keep us broken poor like all realizing that really made 0.90

01:47:50.800 upset a lot of guys like that you gravitate towards the red pill found the red pill and

01:47:54.940 it kind of became obsessed with it and then i realized it's kind of a black hole of nothingness

01:47:58.860 there's like right now the leaders of the red pill say that you should get a vasectomy you

01:48:02.440 shouldn't have kids you should just avoid all women are bad they're evil kind of just like 1.00

01:48:06.300 sleep with a bunch of hoes and i realized like hey red pill is a black hole it's just filling 1.00

01:48:10.840 a void for men that are unhappy so then then you find god and then then you come to islam 0.96

01:48:15.200 so i think with everything there is that which is in line with our religion

01:48:19.400 and there are aspects of it that are not in line with when you look at a lot of these different

01:48:23.900 ideologies that are out there even with feminism would i say that every single thing that feminists 1.00

01:48:29.660 stand for is actually wrong of course not but there's a lot that is wrong with it and then

01:48:34.100 likewise red pill what i don't seem to uh really understand what the red pill is how is it okay for

01:48:40.320 a man to go sleep around right it's perfectly fine for him to go and do so that makes him more manly

01:48:45.000 but when it comes to a woman she's looked at in a very very despicable way if that makes sense

01:48:50.780 right i think that's very contradictory where do you draw the line again uh with regards to what

01:48:56.980 is right and what is wrong morally speaking right and this is why when you look at every single

01:49:01.900 ideology that's out there you're going to see that it's contradictory it doesn't really add up

01:49:06.260 there's going to be discrepancies and so on and so forth and red pill is no different to that

01:49:11.320 Now you tell me, where do you draw the line with regards to what is right and what is wrong?

01:49:15.520 Why is it okay for men to go and sleep around with other women? 0.99

01:49:18.580 But when it comes to women, it's something that is completely shunned about. 0.99

01:49:23.320 As a man, I work really hard to maintain my physical prowess and my financial ability.

01:49:30.280 I worked to get to the ability to sleep with as many women as I possibly can. 1.00

01:49:34.320 But who said that's actually correct?

01:49:35.800 Morally speaking, that's absolutely fine.

01:49:37.760 It's not morally, it's realistically speaking.

01:49:39.300 See, women don't have to do any work in order to sleep around, but as a man, I have to. 1.00

01:49:43.980 So what makes it okay that just because you are working,

01:49:47.360 you can go and ruin so many other lives of these women that you're sleeping around with? 1.00

01:49:53.300 The women are already ruined. 1.00

01:49:54.860 I'm just operating in a destroyed Western society. 0.98

01:49:58.480 Women are being objectified, sexualized. 1.00

01:50:01.500 They are seen as nothing more than sex machines, right? 0.83

01:50:05.360 Is this what society has actually come to when you think about it?

01:50:08.180 Whether or not I act within that society, it's already there.

01:50:14.340 It's already a broken society.

01:50:16.020 These women are indoctrinated by feminism. 1.00

01:50:17.980 I'm just trying to find my happy life within a broken society. 0.80

01:50:21.000 Can you really think by sleeping around with women, you're going to be able to find a happy life? 1.00

01:50:26.040 How many women have also become so mentally and psychologically broken 0.99

01:50:31.360 because he just doesn't know what he loves anymore, or what he wants anymore, what he needs anymore?

01:50:36.740 moving on from one woman to another 0.79

01:50:39.420 and another and another.

01:50:40.700 But love isn't real.

01:50:42.400 Love isn't real.

01:50:43.380 Women are a utility to make your life better. 1.00

01:50:46.300 Love is not real?

01:50:47.980 No.

01:50:48.560 Love is something that women do. 1.00

01:50:49.780 Women fall in love. 1.00

01:50:51.180 Men need to be practical with their relationships.

01:50:53.020 We need to go find women. 1.00

01:50:53.840 Men don't fall in love? 1.00

01:50:55.460 No, falling in love for a man is gay. 0.99

01:50:58.320 Are you playing devil's advocate here? 0.94

01:51:01.900 I've memorized the red pill script.

01:51:03.640 I know it in and out.

01:51:06.740 Bro, that's an absolute myth.

01:51:08.800 Men can fall in love?

01:51:10.040 Of course they can fall in love.

01:51:11.440 You've never fallen in love, San Diego?

01:51:12.620 I have, many times.

01:51:13.440 Exactly.

01:51:14.060 So this is a myth.

01:51:15.400 And this is something that is absolutely nonsensical.

01:51:18.160 Right?

01:51:19.200 It really has no existence whatsoever.

01:51:22.680 Allah tells us with regards to men and women.

01:51:25.500 Right?

01:51:25.740 It's something that is bound to happen.

01:51:27.260 People before us who are far greater than us, they had love.

01:51:29.900 They fell in love.

01:51:31.440 Right?

01:51:31.680 They got married.

01:51:33.100 And they lived in their marriages happily ever after. 0.99

01:51:35.740 So this whole concept of love not existing, I think that's absolute garbage.

01:51:39.660 But in the West now, over 50% of marriages end a divorce.

01:51:42.580 Sorry?

01:51:43.340 Over 50% of marriages in the West end a divorce.

01:51:44.900 Okay, these are marriages between who? 0.77

01:51:47.320 The marriage between a man and a woman now.

01:51:49.200 Most of them end a divorce.

01:51:50.320 Okay, is it Muslims or is it non-Muslims?

01:51:52.820 Non-Muslims. 1.00

01:51:53.700 Okay.

01:51:54.660 So we've asked the Muslims, why has it been that for the longest time, 1.00

01:51:59.660 the way that people structured their lives was via getting married

01:52:03.680 and also having children and so on and so forth

01:52:06.040 only for them to come along and say

01:52:08.140 no, everything that maybe happened

01:52:09.700 over the last X amount of

01:52:12.100 hundreds of years was all wrong

01:52:14.180 that's not how you structure your life

01:52:16.200 right

01:52:17.520 honestly I think it's very

01:52:19.680 very very contradictory

01:52:21.080 like think about it bro, where do you draw the line

01:52:24.040 of what is accepted and what is not

01:52:25.360 it's wrong for women to go and do that 1.00

01:52:27.760 but it's okay for men to go and do

01:52:29.480 something completely different

01:52:30.940 tomorrow I'm going to come up

01:52:33.720 with a concept that you might not necessarily

01:52:35.660 agree with and I'm going to say this is how

01:52:37.620 we need to live our lives

01:52:38.820 where do you draw the line Yasmeenko

01:52:41.400 as a man

01:52:43.820 in order to understand female nature 1.00

01:52:45.280 I need to sleep with 50 1.00

01:52:47.080 where did you get that from

01:52:48.180 a red pill podcast told me

01:52:51.800 who told me

01:52:55.400 why does that have to basically

01:52:57.800 be the constitution that I follow

01:52:59.000 I read it in a red pill book

01:53:00.440 okay in the red pill for what you know i read it in the quran for a red pill yeah sorry in the

01:53:06.520 red pill quran they said you mean red book and uh the the guidebook the the rational vasectomy you 0.97

01:53:14.220 mean their quran like what they have which is not of course right right i don't think you mean it 1.00

01:53:19.260 like that i don't okay the red pill bible not even that i don't think it's right to actually

01:53:24.720 say that they're basically the manual that they refer back to that's basically what it is right

01:53:29.480 or their constitution they've come up with.

01:53:31.400 I think that's a better way to put it.

01:53:33.440 Habibi, I want you to tell me 0.97

01:53:35.620 why is it okay for so and so

01:53:38.960 to come up with certain concepts

01:53:40.920 that we all have to conform to

01:53:42.920 but it's wrong for someone else to come with?

01:53:45.660 Let's just say, for example, feminism. 1.00

01:53:48.020 Why is it okay for you to do it

01:53:49.680 but then it's not okay for someone else?

01:53:51.040 Where do you draw the line?

01:53:53.480 Why can't I have a relationship with an animal?

01:53:55.480 Tell me why.

01:53:57.000 Love is love, isn't it?

01:53:58.680 Again, we go back to the argument that we spoke about earlier.

01:54:01.460 Why is it okay for a man to have a relationship with another man, 0.86

01:54:04.000 but it's wrong for him to have a relationship with his sister or with his blood brother?

01:54:09.940 Have his love.

01:54:10.640 This is the argument now.

01:54:11.580 Otherwise, bro, you're going to find constant differing, bickering, right?

01:54:16.480 People going out against one another, right?

01:54:19.920 If we don't have an external entity, Allah told us this over 1400 years ago

01:54:24.720 when he sent down this book, right?

01:54:26.560 If anything had come from other than Allah, you are going to find, right, contradictions. 0.84

01:54:35.140 What makes red pill more right than feminism? 1.00

01:54:44.120 It's because red pill...

01:54:46.560 No, it's a man that decided, you know what, in order for me to achieve what I want, this is what you need to follow.

01:54:52.660 Then you also have the likes of Simone de Beauvoir, Betty Friedan, who had a certain mindset and a certain way of thinking, which they wanted now to impose upon society.

01:55:03.900 What is right?

01:55:04.900 Tomorrow you're going to find something that is different to Red Pill.

01:55:08.420 Why shouldn't we follow that then?

01:55:10.180 Well, Red Pill is just the truth.

01:55:11.740 You know, all these women are indoctrinated by feminism. 1.00

01:55:14.220 So this is how we operate as men within a destroyed society where women are. 1.00

01:55:18.880 Because what you're saying is

01:55:20.500 It sounds good

01:55:21.560 But these women aren't Muslims anymore 1.00

01:55:23.020 In a traditional Muslim society 1.00

01:55:24.640 You get married to a virgin 0.97

01:55:25.800 None of these girls are virgins 1.00

01:55:27.100 So how am I going to expect to have a halal marriage

01:55:29.960 When the woman is already broken 1.00

01:55:31.640 Why is the man not broken then?

01:55:35.180 Because man's souls

01:55:36.660 Men do get broken as well

01:55:38.180 Not as easily as women 1.00

01:55:39.720 But they get broken as well

01:55:41.860 That defeats the concept of

01:55:43.140 Someone becoming broken

01:55:44.520 If you say to me women get broken 1.00

01:55:47.200 but men, some of them get broken

01:55:49.340 or it's harder to break them

01:55:51.960 but they still get broken

01:55:52.820 and you're still dealing with the same problem at the end

01:55:55.420 right, someone's going to ask

01:55:58.340 my sister for a hand in marriage

01:55:59.940 this guy could be broken

01:56:01.400 right, I have a brother

01:56:02.760 he's going to ask her for a hand in marriage

01:56:04.620 she might well be broken

01:56:05.580 we're still dealing with the same problem, aren't we?

01:56:09.940 red pill is the truth that

01:56:11.160 in the west, we're all broken

01:56:12.500 we're watching porn at 8 years old

01:56:14.620 we're going to college

01:56:16.120 and we question our genders,

01:56:18.480 just being born in America,

01:56:20.040 being born in London

01:56:21.100 is already set for failure.

01:56:23.000 This is why all of us,

01:56:23.840 we are in need of an external entity

01:56:26.880 that is going to give us rules 0.62

01:56:28.720 and regulations of how to live our lives.

01:56:31.940 Otherwise, we're constantly going

01:56:33.480 to keep going back and forth

01:56:35.560 with regards to the kind of lifestyle

01:56:37.880 we want to live.

01:56:39.520 We need an external entity

01:56:41.000 and that is God.

01:56:42.240 Otherwise, the feminists are going to 1.00

01:56:43.820 take shots at the red pill guys

01:56:45.940 and then the Red Bull are going to keep having their back and forth.

01:56:48.820 And a lot of that time, bro,

01:56:50.680 it's a mindset that has perhaps maybe come out of thin air,

01:56:54.420 which someone has decided to add to a manual book.

01:56:57.680 It's as simple as that.

01:56:59.160 Tomorrow I'm telling you, bro,

01:57:00.240 someone else is going to come out of something different.

01:57:02.900 And they're going to say, oh, this is the truth.

01:57:04.540 What distinguishes this from that?

01:57:10.120 Right?

01:57:10.540 We're just going to go on all day, my friend.

01:57:12.480 They have arguments, you have arguments.

01:57:15.940 And again, we have to accept that, you know, there is an external entity that is actually the truth.

01:57:20.720 What makes us accept that Islam is the truth, right? 1.00

01:57:26.360 Up until this very day, even though the challenge was sent out by God in His Quran, in His book,

01:57:33.420 in three different places to produce a Quran like this, they have not been able to produce anything like it.

01:57:39.640 The challenge still stands.

01:57:41.800 It was initially for the Arabs to produce something, but the challenge still stands to this very day.

01:57:45.940 If you want me to prove to you

01:57:48.180 That the Quran is actually the truth 0.96

01:57:49.600 Bro, there are three verses in the Quran

01:57:51.180 The first challenge was

01:57:52.200 Produce a Quran like this 1.00

01:57:54.240 لَإِنِ اجْتَمَعَتِ الْإِنسُ وَالْجِنْ عَلَانِ

01:57:56.480 يَأْتُوهِ مِثْلِهَاكُ

01:57:57.520 لَا يَأْتُوهِ مِثْلِهَاكُ

01:57:57.580 لَا يَأْتُوهِ مِثْلِهَاكُ

01:57:58.760 They will not be able to do so

01:58:00.060 God told us

01:58:00.880 Right

01:58:01.820 And then there was a second challenge

01:58:03.640 Just bring forth ten chapters

01:58:06.340 قُلْ فَأْتُوا بِعَشْرِ سُوَرٍ مِثْلِهِ مُفْتَرَيَاتٍ

01:58:11.460 Fabricate 10 for me

01:58:13.280 10 chapters, the smallest chapters in the Quran

01:58:15.880 They weren't able to bring anything like it

01:58:17.940 Then they were told, just bring one verse

01:58:19.720 وَإِن كُنتُمْ فِي رَيْبٍ مِمَّا نَزَلْنَا فَأْتُوا سُورَةٍ

01:58:23.880 Just bring one

01:58:25.100 They weren't able to produce anything like this

01:58:27.820 Right

01:58:28.880 And then you look also at the hadiths

01:58:31.980 The hadiths, these are the prophetic traditions

01:58:33.960 The statements

01:58:35.380 the statements that the Messenger ﷺ uttered, right?

01:58:38.720 Bro, every single report needs to be critically examined before we take it.

01:58:44.060 We don't just take things just like that, right?

01:58:47.400 Or we don't have books that people claim to be holy, right?

01:58:51.120 When in reality, they can't prove its authenticity.

01:58:53.940 Does that make sense?

01:58:54.460 Right.

01:58:56.600 And a lot of the things that the Messenger of God prophesies

01:58:59.580 that will take place that we see happening and unfolding right before our eyes,

01:59:03.280 again that proves to us that the Prophet Muhammad 0.98

01:59:06.500 was actually a prophet of truth

01:59:08.680 right

01:59:10.040 you may ask me what makes Christianity

01:59:12.700 different to Al-Islam or what makes

01:59:14.600 what they believe in

01:59:16.080 just to prove

01:59:17.980 that this is authentically reported

01:59:20.800 is a big thing

01:59:21.560 we can do that with every single report

01:59:24.580 of Prophet Muhammad

01:59:25.500 may peace and blessings be upon us

01:59:26.620 and likewise you have the Quran

01:59:31.980 that has been authentically proven

01:59:33.580 that this is actually the word of God.

01:59:35.800 We have chains of narration.

01:59:37.540 Every single person in that chain of narration

01:59:39.580 needs to be critically examined

01:59:42.200 before we take anything from him.

01:59:43.440 Wait a second.

01:59:44.360 But the Red Pill book,

01:59:45.560 I saw a podcast online.

01:59:47.360 I saw a podcast online.

01:59:48.180 That's exactly the answer that you're looking for.

01:59:50.520 He told me that was going to be Alpha.

01:59:53.220 What was the other one?

01:59:54.540 There's Alpha, there's another one.

01:59:56.720 Beta.

01:59:57.980 Sigma. 0.62

01:59:59.000 Sigma. 0.62

01:59:59.360 let's let's let's recreate something now as well let's let's make our own one let's make a

02:00:05.120 combination shall we i'm telling you my friend there will always be contradictions always it's

02:00:10.840 okay for a woman right to sleep around but sorry it's okay for a man to go and sleep around with 1.00

02:00:16.520 everyone and anyone that he wants but when it comes to a woman it's shunned upon bro i just i

02:00:23.660 It just, you know, it really doesn't make sense.

02:00:26.780 We got some more questions.

02:00:29.300 Batsub agent says, ask the Sheikh about Sufism.

02:00:32.900 I like how it's more spiritual and fun.

02:00:35.740 I think he's trolling.

02:00:36.420 I think these guys are trolling.

02:00:37.220 Yeah, he is.

02:00:37.760 But it's a good question.

02:00:38.560 Can you explain what is Sufism?

02:00:40.260 Habibi, our religion is following the Quran and the Sunnah.

02:00:44.480 And what the messenger of the Prophet may peace and blessings be upon him came with.

02:00:48.700 Right?

02:00:49.460 While we have the understanding of the companions.

02:00:51.080 the companions they were our role models

02:00:54.020 when it came to spirituality

02:00:55.300 if you want to see how they remain

02:00:58.040 spiritual then I advise you to go 1.00

02:01:00.080 back to how they understood the text

02:01:01.900 that was sent down by our

02:01:03.560 Lord Allah Azzawajal and also

02:01:06.000 what the messenger may peace and blessings be upon him

02:01:07.800 came with, right, this is how

02:01:09.940 we should be following religions, as for all

02:01:11.940 of these labels that people have, that should be

02:01:13.940 put to the side, we need to be individuals

02:01:15.700 who ensure that our actions are

02:01:17.840 in line with what Allah came with and what the

02:01:19.740 had uttered

02:01:21.960 and what the companions

02:01:23.120 have come with.

02:01:25.080 In order for them

02:01:25.780 to pop up,

02:01:26.220 they have to pay.

02:01:28.080 No, they don't have to.

02:01:28.860 They don't have to.

02:01:29.280 It's just easier to see.

02:01:30.240 Right.

02:01:30.500 Just basically.

02:01:31.220 Right.

02:01:31.900 They shouldn't be...

02:01:33.120 Guys trolling.

02:01:34.060 Yeah, they are.

02:01:35.240 More questions, guys.

02:01:36.760 Okay, we have one.

02:01:37.960 I don't know

02:01:38.180 if you want to answer this one.

02:01:41.440 It's a sunnah.

02:01:43.920 Would you do polygamy? 1.00

02:01:45.640 Would I do polygamy? 0.99

02:01:46.620 Right.

02:01:46.840 You don't have to...

02:01:47.840 These guys are trolling, man.

02:01:49.740 these guys are trolling 0.84

02:01:51.020 you guys just need to get married first 1.00

02:01:53.260 they need to get married

02:01:54.340 think about one wife

02:01:55.760 think about one wife

02:01:56.860 before you start even thinking about

02:01:58.180 that which is too hot for you to handle

02:02:00.300 right

02:02:00.880 have you arranged any marriages for anybody?

02:02:05.260 have you

02:02:50.900 Let me read out some real-life scenarios

02:02:59.500 that I've received, right?

02:03:03.680 Okay.

02:03:04.920 You know when Allah tells you guys not to do something,

02:03:08.100 or He tells you guys to do something,

02:03:09.540 at times you may think,

02:03:10.500 oh man, this is a little bit, right,

02:03:12.740 out of touch with reality or extreme.

02:03:14.860 Yeah, just a little bit of Zana once in a while.

02:03:16.320 Just remember this.

02:03:17.020 Everything that Allah told you to do,

02:03:19.160 and told you to stay away from, right?

02:03:21.300 It's in your own best interest.

02:03:23.640 Otherwise, it is fair, my friend,

02:03:25.160 that you will join this long queue of people

02:03:26.620 who have been messaging me, right?

02:03:28.540 About Zina?

02:03:29.340 About sins and Zina and so on and so forth. 0.75

02:03:32.000 Right?

02:03:32.420 Let me read this out to you guys.

02:03:34.120 This is an email that I have, right?

02:03:36.880 Check to see whether this is a real email.

02:03:39.520 Right?

02:03:41.080 It's from...

02:03:41.720 Inshallah, I talk.

02:03:43.020 As-salamu alaykum, Shaykh.

02:03:44.060 Please, can you help me?

02:03:44.820 I've done Zina for almost a year now

02:03:46.020 with many, many girls.

02:03:47.580 Many, many.

02:03:48.960 I'm completely broken.

02:03:49.880 Sounds a bit like the red pill guys, right?

02:03:52.040 50.

02:03:52.420 It's just 50.

02:03:53.260 So I can understand.

02:03:54.120 You mentioned, right, that they don't get broken,

02:03:56.060 they don't get spiritually damaged or psychologically.

02:03:56.980 No, no, no, you do.

02:03:57.680 You do get broken, but not as easy as a woman. 1.00

02:03:59.760 No, but still, at the end of the day, it still happens.

02:04:01.440 Whether it takes longer to do or longer to reach that point

02:04:04.480 or shorter, bro, it's still the same results.

02:04:06.900 And we have a problem then in society,

02:04:08.680 which clearly shows that this is a flawed way of thinking.

02:04:12.160 It's as simple as that.

02:04:13.840 But anyways, read it.

02:04:14.500 But how am I going to know if a girl's a hoe 1.00

02:04:15.760 if I don't sleep with 50 hoes? 1.00

02:04:17.040 Just read it, read it, read it.

02:04:18.040 I need to sleep with 50 hoes to know which one's not wifeable. 1.00

02:04:20.980 No, no, you need to.

02:04:22.440 I'm completely broken.

02:04:23.500 Take the correct process in finding a woman, 0.99

02:04:26.340 and inshallah, you will find a good, pious, righteous lady.

02:04:29.380 Inshallah.

02:04:30.360 Yeah.

02:04:30.860 Completely broken, empty, and I don't want to live anymore.

02:04:34.240 My family doesn't know what I've done, only my mother.

02:04:37.100 Everyone who looks at me says I look lifeless.

02:04:39.380 I've lost my appetite for food, lost the will to go on.

02:04:42.720 I really need some advice, please.

02:04:44.740 You think it's really because of the girls?

02:04:45.940 So that's making them

02:04:46.600 There's got to be something else

02:04:48.640 It can't be

02:04:49.940 Read this one as well

02:04:51.780 As-salamu alaykum Sheikh

02:04:56.260 How are you?

02:04:56.980 I hope you're well

02:04:57.500 So I was in a haram relationship

02:04:58.920 And today she ended it

02:05:00.400 I'm completely devastated

02:05:02.680 I can't do it anymore

02:05:04.620 My heart hurts so much

02:05:05.860 Please help me

02:05:06.560 What can I do to make me feel better

02:05:08.260 By the way, count how many times he says

02:05:10.100 Please help me

02:05:10.800 He's saying please

02:05:11.320 Yeah, read it

02:05:12.340 Sheikh, please, please help me

02:05:13.820 But Alhamdulillah has come to an end 0.95

02:05:15.600 so I'm out of there again

02:05:16.580 but I still can't get her away from her

02:05:18.140 I can't stop thinking about her

02:05:19.060 if you know what I need to know about it

02:05:20.940 please help me

02:05:21.500 Sheikh

02:05:21.720 please help me

02:05:22.400 I don't want to come back

02:05:24.660 into a Haram relationship 0.88

02:05:25.540 if you have tips

02:05:26.040 please help me

02:05:26.680 and tell me

02:05:27.160 I don't want to repeat the sin again

02:05:28.560 Sheikh

02:05:29.100 please help me

02:05:30.660 again that's the message

02:05:31.620 that I received on Instagram

02:05:32.640 do you believe that

02:05:33.520 this is the case

02:05:34.600 of so many young brothers

02:05:36.500 that have been caught up

02:05:37.700 in this cycle

02:05:38.560 of doing Haram

02:05:39.560 of dating

02:05:39.840 do you think that dating

02:05:41.700 is practicing for divorce

02:05:43.440 because when you

02:05:44.220 when you date

02:05:45.580 you're essentially saying to the partner

02:05:47.840 that you're with, this is temporary.

02:05:50.160 I'm just trying you out.

02:05:51.840 If something goes wrong, I'm out of here.

02:05:53.840 Is dating just preparing

02:05:55.820 yourself and breaking your soul one by one?

02:05:59.960 Bro, I'm telling you, Islam 1.00

02:06:01.940 is so perfect in its rules

02:06:03.860 and regulations, its commandments and provisions.

02:06:06.500 It is there to serve

02:06:07.820 what we

02:06:09.360 are in dire need of.

02:06:12.260 It's a mandate that you need to follow.

02:06:13.720 it's a constitution

02:06:14.560 it's a blueprint

02:06:15.300 that we need to follow

02:06:16.180 my friend

02:06:16.620 right

02:06:17.640 and if we're not

02:06:19.100 this is the end result

02:06:22.600 why do you have others

02:06:23.700 who are in relationships

02:06:24.860 and of course

02:06:25.580 when you're doing things

02:06:26.440 that is not pleasing to Allah 1.00

02:06:27.480 it's going to affect

02:06:28.140 your relationships

02:06:28.660 but

02:06:29.800 people have always

02:06:31.240 been living their lives

02:06:32.040 in this manner

02:06:32.540 right

02:06:33.500 of getting married

02:06:34.200 and

02:06:36.040 having children

02:06:36.980 which in today's

02:06:38.340 society

02:06:38.920 is really looked down upon

02:06:40.040 with all of these

02:06:42.300 different movements

02:06:42.860 that came about

02:06:43.400 Do you want me to check out

02:06:44.240 The other questions they have

02:06:45.120 They have so many

02:06:46.240 But

02:06:46.620 Let me have a look at it

02:06:47.520 Yeah go ahead

02:06:48.200 It's pouring in

02:06:52.540 This is going to be hard

02:06:53.100 For you to read it

02:06:53.760 Oh wow

02:06:56.360 There's like

02:06:56.800 7000 people watching

02:06:58.700 There's a lot of Christians

02:07:04.920 That are

02:07:05.400 Let them be

02:07:07.320 You don't want to read the chat

02:07:08.260 Trust me

02:07:08.600 No I'm alright

02:07:09.280 Be nice guys

02:07:11.580 Be nice

02:07:12.500 someone said

02:07:18.280 Myron's logic is so broken

02:07:19.800 is that the Sudanese brother?

02:07:21.540 that's the Sudanese brother

02:07:22.660 he's the leader

02:07:23.500 one of the major leaders

02:07:24.880 of the red pill movement

02:07:25.560 a good friend of mine

02:07:26.220 one of my best friends

02:07:27.160 how is he doing?

02:07:30.400 he's good

02:07:31.000 I think he's good

02:07:32.160 it's hard to read him sometimes

02:07:35.540 there's a lot of guys

02:07:36.400 that are pretty

02:07:37.020 where do you think he is

02:07:37.780 psychologically speaking?

02:07:39.480 I don't think he's depressed

02:07:40.780 I don't think that his soul

02:07:42.140 is broken i think i think he i think he's happy i think he's focused on work i think the work can

02:07:46.160 the keeps him going uh but i do think that the red pill ideology is a reaction to feminism

02:07:51.960 and i think a lot of the guys in the red pill space that are leading the movement um they're

02:07:58.200 not allowed to show vulnerable moments they're not allowed to say that they fall in love because

02:08:03.560 then the red pill guys who are all angry are going to be like that's gay to fall in love like 0.79

02:08:08.560 They think that showing emotions is gay, but that's just... 0.90

02:08:12.040 I'm going to keep repeating this.

02:08:13.440 What determines what is right and what is wrong?

02:08:17.260 You look at the wars that are taking place.

02:08:19.260 Everyone looked at Putin a certain way for attacking Ukrainians.

02:08:26.420 They all said that this is morally unacceptable and whatever have you.

02:08:31.600 Someone else goes and does it.

02:08:33.000 Oh, it's absolutely fine.

02:08:34.320 They're basically doing the right thing.

02:08:35.780 Like again

02:08:38.340 What is morally accepted and what is wrong

02:08:40.460 Right

02:08:41.400 What determines for us what is right and what is not

02:08:43.700 Where do you draw the line

02:08:44.660 I love that argument

02:08:46.260 Can I steal that

02:08:47.940 You don't even have to attribute it back to me man

02:08:51.440 Okay

02:08:52.040 I think it's a very thought provoking question

02:08:56.240 Where do you draw the line

02:08:57.520 Of what is right and what is wrong

02:08:59.400 There's no answer

02:09:01.580 There's no answer besides the Quran 1.00

02:09:02.940 And this is the problem that a lot of atheists have

02:09:05.680 You speak to Suzanne who's an atheist. She says to you that this is morally unacceptable 1.00

02:09:10.960 You go to Bob who's also an atheist. He'll tell you no, no Suzanne's wrong

02:09:15.820 Okay, give me a you know, give me a moral compass of how I should live my life of what is right and what is wrong

02:09:21.720 I sometimes hear Piers Morgan speaking in his debates and whatever have you

02:09:25.320 The man's lost with regards to what is morally acceptable what is wrong?

02:09:28.920 Just what is like a proportionate response on what is not?

02:09:32.280 Because you just don't have a mandate, you don't have a manual, you don't have an external entity that has given you rules and regulations.

02:09:40.280 Whatever view you come out with, someone's going to counter that and we're going to be there all day long.

02:09:48.280 It's as simple as that.

02:09:49.280 Do you think you could be...

02:09:50.280 If someone wants to set that up, I don't mind having a debate with him.

02:09:55.280 Okay.

02:09:56.280 Let me ask you another question, right?

02:09:58.280 Okay.

02:09:59.280 Cannibalism.

02:10:00.280 Do you think that's morally acceptable?

02:10:02.280 Absolutely not.

02:10:03.280 Why not?

02:10:04.280 Because Allah says so.

02:10:06.280 No, put that to the side for a moment.

02:10:08.280 Sneakle, you know, pre-Islam. 1.00

02:10:11.280 Pre-reversion, right? 0.99

02:10:12.280 Because it's gross. 0.53

02:10:13.280 It's gross.

02:10:14.280 Do you know that up until this very day,

02:10:16.280 there are some places around the world where this is perfectly legal?

02:10:19.280 Because even, I've completely forgotten now,

02:10:21.280 there is a city in Germany where it's still legal to eat other people.

02:10:30.280 let me ask a question

02:10:32.720 bestality

02:10:33.260 do you think it's

02:10:33.940 morally acceptable

02:10:34.760 absolutely not

02:10:37.120 why not

02:10:37.700 love is love

02:10:39.140 okay red pill sneak

02:10:39.980 love is love

02:10:41.080 love is love right

02:10:41.940 right

02:10:42.280 bro you got kids 0.71

02:10:43.360 identifying as cats and dogs

02:10:45.160 right

02:10:46.760 cats and dogs

02:10:47.640 and it's being legalized

02:10:48.920 right

02:10:50.200 meow

02:10:50.900 yeah

02:10:51.660 she wants to walk in

02:10:52.980 identifying as a certain animal

02:10:55.640 like you can't

02:10:56.400 that's the point

02:10:57.200 that it's reaching right

02:10:57.960 a child wants to identify

02:11:00.160 as a boy

02:11:02.160 from today on, it's fine

02:11:03.960 tomorrow someone wants to have a relationship

02:11:06.260 with an animal, tell me what is wrong with it

02:11:08.340 where did you draw the line

02:11:10.340 if we go off the same logic

02:11:12.300 of love is love or this is

02:11:14.240 fine and this is not, like for example the red pill

02:11:16.220 movement and then you have feminism as well 1.00

02:11:17.840 this is how it should be and this is how it shouldn't

02:11:19.980 there's going to continuously

02:11:22.480 be

02:11:23.800 broken homes, disputes

02:11:26.720 arguments between

02:11:28.520 human beings

02:11:29.500 let me tell you a story right tell me i was on my way to australia

02:11:34.200 um to go give that all right i got invited and um we had to stop over in new delhi india

02:11:41.900 it's a long flight you get bored right i was very tired as well i had some books that i wanted to

02:11:48.520 read but i just didn't feel like it because of how tired i was so me and mark started speaking

02:11:53.160 that was his name mark we'll call him mark i think that was his name right but we'll call

02:11:58.100 Mark, just so we have a good idea of exactly what we're referring to, right?

02:12:03.880 I was pretty tired.

02:12:04.900 I was like, you know what?

02:12:05.680 Let me just try and cheer myself up a little bit by giving doubt to this guy, you know?

02:12:10.000 So I said to Mark, why are you going all the way to Australia by yourself?

02:12:13.960 He said, oh, me and my girlfriend just broke up.

02:12:17.420 So me being a little bit nosy at the time, I said to him, why?

02:12:20.480 Why did you guys break up?

02:12:22.140 He goes, I didn't like, this is a white male from the UK. 0.99

02:12:28.100 He said to me, I didn't like the way she was dressing outside. 1.00

02:12:32.260 And also the fact that she was having conversations with the opposite gender via text.

02:12:40.020 I found some inappropriate conversations via text and I didn't like that.

02:12:45.740 So I called it off.

02:12:47.540 So me just playing devil's advocate said to him, Mark, right?

02:12:51.580 Why are you being so controlling for?

02:12:54.220 Live and let be.

02:12:55.800 Liberal values.

02:12:56.640 everyone's entitled

02:12:57.800 to do as they wish

02:12:59.100 shouldn't she be entitled 0.99

02:13:01.220 to dress how she wants

02:13:02.400 when she goes outside

02:13:03.260 let me ask you a question

02:13:05.920 it's perfectly fine

02:13:07.540 for a woman to go out 1.00

02:13:08.380 in a minister right

02:13:09.020 according to many

02:13:10.620 of the western societies

02:13:12.200 that we live in

02:13:12.760 it's fine

02:13:13.280 live and let be

02:13:14.400 her body her choice

02:13:15.260 her body her choice

02:13:16.360 why can't she go

02:13:17.900 outside naked

02:13:18.680 not wear anything

02:13:19.760 tell me why

02:13:20.500 she can't

02:13:21.280 in New York City

02:13:22.080 girls can walk around 1.00

02:13:22.840 with their boobs out 1.00

02:13:23.560 no no I'm saying 0.98

02:13:24.060 like with

02:13:24.480 She should

02:13:26.740 Because she's a queen 0.87

02:13:27.800 But in most places

02:13:30.680 She's allowed to walk outside naked 1.00

02:13:31.840 In New York

02:13:33.300 They can go

02:13:34.000 But no

02:13:35.180 Not completely

02:13:35.700 You know generally speaking

02:13:36.740 It's getting close though

02:13:37.880 It's getting close though

02:13:38.620 These are arguments

02:13:39.620 That I heard

02:13:40.360 Religious scholars mention

02:13:41.640 Yeah

02:13:42.260 Right

02:13:42.780 It's her body

02:13:45.180 Her choice

02:13:45.720 She can walk around

02:13:46.540 Without a hijab 1.00

02:13:47.320 She can walk around

02:13:48.100 With a mini skirt

02:13:49.300 But when it comes to

02:13:50.840 Her walking around naked 1.00

02:13:52.580 Oh no

02:13:52.940 This is something

02:13:53.420 That is morally unacceptable

02:13:54.360 in most places

02:13:56.220 and of course

02:13:56.900 Prophet Muhammad 0.98

02:13:59.160 may peace and blessings be upon him

02:14:00.340 he told us

02:14:00.920 there doesn't come a time

02:14:03.740 except that the time

02:14:04.320 that comes after

02:14:04.880 is far worse

02:14:05.480 so this is not something

02:14:07.300 that is far fetched

02:14:08.260 that is going to happen

02:14:09.060 right

02:14:10.340 again

02:14:11.260 my argument

02:14:12.140 to these individuals is

02:14:13.240 who are thinking like this

02:14:14.600 where do you draw the line

02:14:16.000 with regards to

02:14:16.760 what her choice is

02:14:18.600 and what she can now

02:14:20.120 make evident

02:14:21.160 from her body

02:14:21.740 tell me where

02:14:22.380 or when

02:14:23.020 what why and how

02:14:27.640 don't have an answer

02:14:29.940 it's exactly what it is my friend

02:14:32.480 everything that you think about

02:14:36.260 pertaining to how the west is

02:14:38.660 fulfilling their liberal values

02:14:40.680 you will find

02:14:42.160 contradictions and you'll be left with no choice

02:14:44.780 except to

02:14:45.440 soul searching looking for that

02:14:48.740 external entity

02:14:49.500 I just have to accept that I'm a slave

02:14:52.340 and I have to submit my will to a greater entity

02:14:55.320 and that is Allah, give me rules and regulations 0.72

02:14:57.900 in order to live by it.

02:15:00.500 Are these signs of the end times?

02:15:03.540 You answered that really quick.

02:15:05.380 Gender ideology, rampant obesity. 0.92

02:15:07.720 Prophet Muhammad, may peace and blessings be upon him.

02:15:10.480 1400 years ago he said the following.

02:15:12.600 From the signs of the hour,

02:15:14.220 knowledge will become scarce.

02:15:18.560 Ignorance will become widespread.

02:15:19.720 Zina will become extremely rampant 1.00

02:15:23.020 Isn't this what's happening right before our eyes now?

02:15:24.960 50 bodies

02:15:25.660 Maybe even more than that

02:15:27.720 And also killings will become extremely, extremely rampant as well

02:15:34.580 London, Chicago, New York

02:15:37.840 And the examples that the Messenger ﷺ gave us

02:15:43.560 Or what he prophesied

02:15:45.240 Are all unfolding right before our eyes

02:15:47.900 right

02:15:49.880 how do we prepare

02:15:52.480 for the end time

02:15:53.120 by going back

02:15:56.100 to the drawing board

02:15:56.840 working on ourselves

02:15:58.820 ready to meet Allah 0.88

02:16:00.400 in the best state

02:16:01.140 right

02:16:02.840 the sooner

02:16:05.800 I've seen some people

02:16:07.300 talk about

02:16:07.680 some Muslims talk about

02:16:08.560 how they sin

02:16:09.320 very frequently

02:16:10.240 also can I mention

02:16:11.440 another hadith

02:16:12.040 I just remembered

02:16:12.880 messenger of Allah

02:16:13.980 peace and blessings be upon him

02:16:15.560 he says

02:16:15.820 which I fear the most for my people

02:16:20.860 is the actions of the people of Lut

02:16:23.260 or the Prophet Lut 0.51

02:16:24.280 homosexuality and so on and so forth

02:16:27.120 this is what he mentioned

02:16:28.900 1400 years ago

02:16:30.200 that this is what he fears the most

02:16:31.420 and now it's extremely rampant

02:16:32.920 it's being shoved on our throats

02:16:34.520 and rubbed on our faces

02:16:35.860 literally

02:16:37.280 what do they say about

02:16:41.060 the story about Sodom and Gomorrah

02:16:42.900 is that where

02:16:45.020 that's where homosexuality started 1.00

02:16:47.960 I think you're referring to the story of Lut

02:16:50.140 right? yes

02:16:50.780 the prophet

02:16:54.220 Lut alayhi salatu wasalam

02:16:55.840 he would see that his

02:16:58.120 people were tested with

02:17:00.140 wanting to have relationships

02:17:02.300 and 0.62

02:17:03.620 sexual practices with the same janda 0.98

02:17:05.940 and he would say to them

02:17:07.280 ma sabakakum biha

02:17:10.020 no one has ever preceded

02:17:12.260 you on this from the time of Adam

02:17:13.740 and Eve, not Adam and Steve

02:17:16.060 by the way, Adam and Eve

02:17:17.920 all the way to the time of the Lord

02:17:19.440 this was something that was completely unheard of

02:17:22.340 right

02:17:24.040 this is when it

02:17:26.140 started

02:17:26.540 Subhanallah

02:17:30.140 this was a nation

02:17:32.100 as mentioned to us in the Quran

02:17:33.340 they were destroyed

02:17:34.620 they flipped the fitrah 0.80

02:17:37.800 the natural disposition

02:17:38.940 so what did God do to them

02:17:41.380 He ended up flipping the earth

02:17:44.000 On top of him

02:17:44.740 Where is Sodom and Gomorrah today?

02:17:49.460 I can't say with surety

02:17:50.900 Honestly I can't

02:17:52.000 It's speculation that it might be here

02:17:53.960 Or it might be there

02:17:54.560 But some of these things at times

02:17:56.540 It's very hard to

02:17:57.280 Unless we have like a textual evidence

02:18:00.860 That has been authentically reported

02:18:02.260 Again remember when I said to you before

02:18:03.860 We can't take anything

02:18:05.300 Any narration that is brought to us

02:18:07.220 That is attributed to our prophet

02:18:08.600 Unless we critically examine

02:18:10.340 every aspect of that change of narration.

02:18:13.240 We have to check every person

02:18:14.620 in there. Is he

02:18:16.040 a trustworthy reporter?

02:18:18.940 Right? Is he someone who

02:18:20.600 was dignified

02:18:24.300 individual? Right? Was he a transgressing

02:18:26.560 individual? Does that make sense?

02:18:28.900 Had.

02:18:32.100 Yeah.

02:18:32.980 Some people were saying that Sodom and Gomorrah

02:18:34.480 is today where Israel is. Is that true?

02:18:36.760 I don't know, man. There's no part of talking about it.

02:18:38.900 I really

02:18:39.840 I don't know

02:18:41.500 what if I continue sinning

02:18:43.000 if I continue committing zina

02:18:44.540 continue doing drugs

02:18:46.180 drinking alcohol

02:18:46.920 and then right before

02:18:47.680 I'm about to die

02:18:48.180 I just take my shahadah

02:18:48.980 and then I'm cleansed

02:18:49.540 but how do you know

02:18:50.400 that that's actually

02:18:51.220 going to be the case

02:18:51.960 just right before

02:18:52.820 when my last breath

02:18:54.140 is there

02:18:54.460 just shahadah

02:18:55.760 the thing is

02:18:56.200 that's straightforward

02:18:56.840 I have a principle

02:18:58.740 that our prophet

02:18:59.580 may peace and blessings

02:19:00.340 be upon him

02:19:00.960 told us

02:19:01.420 he said

02:19:02.480 whoever lives a certain way

02:19:05.060 that's how he's going to die

02:19:05.940 right

02:19:07.840 it might be so easy

02:19:09.800 to say your shahada on your deathbed.

02:19:11.960 But we've come across a lot of cases

02:19:13.900 where one was on his deathbed and we tried

02:19:15.780 to get him to say the shahada.

02:19:17.640 And he couldn't speak.

02:19:18.800 And he couldn't speak. You know, not so long ago,

02:19:21.280 I was in Manchester. I was delivering the Friday

02:19:23.200 sermon.

02:19:24.940 And I was giving many examples.

02:19:27.000 I was giving many examples of how people

02:19:29.360 died

02:19:30.540 with a bad ending.

02:19:33.900 Right? With a bad ending.

02:19:36.980 Right?

02:19:37.380 I gave a number of examples

02:19:40.580 after the Friday sermon

02:19:42.840 a Somali brother

02:19:43.820 he came up to me

02:19:44.720 and he said

02:19:46.020 I want you to say this

02:19:47.160 in your next lecture

02:19:47.880 I said

02:19:49.280 what are you referring to uncle

02:19:50.180 he goes

02:19:50.500 this lecture that you just gave

02:19:51.900 it reminded me of something

02:19:53.380 that recently happened in Somalia

02:19:54.860 he said

02:19:56.460 I was in Somalia

02:19:57.160 and there was a lady 0.57

02:19:58.020 on her deathbed

02:19:58.720 right

02:19:59.980 they tried to get her to say 0.98

02:20:02.140 a testification

02:20:03.580 a shahada

02:20:04.820 to bear witness

02:20:06.760 that no one has the right

02:20:07.660 to be worshipped in truth

02:20:08.560 except Allah 0.86

02:20:09.200 and the Prophet Muhammad's

02:20:10.100 final messenger?

02:20:11.900 Or just La ilahe al-mankana

02:20:13.840 La ilahe al-Allah

02:20:14.900 You know the first part of it?

02:20:16.140 Because the Prophet mentioned to us

02:20:17.460 whoever's last statement is

02:20:18.540 La ilahe al-Allah

02:20:19.260 it will enter straight into Al-Jannah

02:20:20.920 So if I'm getting out of a car crash

02:20:23.640 just say that

02:20:24.120 But do you think it's that easy

02:20:26.160 for you to be able to say it?

02:20:27.220 Nah, I don't think so

02:20:27.820 Right?

02:20:28.280 It doesn't happen

02:20:29.260 You know there's a lot of people

02:20:30.580 that haven't been fortunate enough

02:20:31.860 to make that the last thing

02:20:33.740 that ever came out of their mouths

02:20:34.800 So he said to me

02:20:36.440 they tried to get her to say 0.98

02:20:37.840 La ilaha illallah

02:20:38.700 which is the testification

02:20:39.980 a shahadah 0.55

02:20:40.740 a testimony

02:20:41.940 right

02:20:42.980 and guess what she started doing

02:20:44.780 she started turning her head to the left 0.99

02:20:46.240 and she started humming

02:20:47.920 this was the same lady

02:20:50.240 that would be invited over to parties

02:20:52.120 to sing for the people

02:20:53.220 and the principle is

02:20:56.140 the way you live your life

02:20:57.260 that's how you're going to die

02:20:58.160 of course there might be

02:21:00.500 exceptional circumstances

02:21:01.640 you know

02:21:02.180 where an individual may have been sincere

02:21:05.180 and for whatever reason

02:21:06.400 that God is knowing of

02:21:08.460 where He's given an opportunity

02:21:10.640 to die

02:21:11.260 in a wonderful way.

02:21:15.560 I've come across people

02:21:16.700 who died

02:21:18.620 and the last when I was coming out of their mouths

02:21:20.220 was a lyric from a song.

02:21:23.220 Yeah.

02:21:26.020 So live the life

02:21:27.240 the way you're supposed to.

02:21:29.000 That you want to die.

02:21:30.560 You're only increasing your chances of dying like that.

02:21:33.180 And Allah is fair and He's just. 0.81

02:21:34.600 someone who thinks

02:21:35.880 you can deceive God

02:21:36.980 right

02:21:37.980 I'm going to live my life

02:21:39.540 that's shaitan thing

02:21:40.200 and then I'm going to say

02:21:40.900 the shahada

02:21:41.460 before I die

02:21:42.460 bro how do you even think

02:21:44.400 you're going to be able

02:21:44.960 to be given that success

02:21:46.420 to do that

02:21:47.060 right

02:21:47.620 live righteously

02:21:49.620 live righteously 0.99

02:21:50.380 and hopefully you will die 0.92

02:21:51.260 in a righteous way 0.98

02:21:51.880 I've given a whole lecture

02:21:53.140 on this in fact

02:21:53.780 like you see pictures

02:21:55.080 going around of someone

02:21:55.820 holding the Quran

02:21:56.540 or he's in prayer

02:21:57.600 and that was the last thing

02:21:58.480 that he done

02:21:58.900 perhaps he lived

02:22:00.400 the life of that

02:22:01.080 like think about it right

02:22:01.920 let me give you

02:22:02.480 a logical example

02:22:03.260 If someone is listening to music all day long, what's the likelihood that he will die with music?

02:22:08.240 Do you always get a reminder before you're about to depart from this world?

02:22:11.260 Does the angel of death come knocking on you and say, listen mate, get ready, you've got five minutes left.

02:22:14.880 He does not.

02:22:16.340 How many people die in car crashes?

02:22:17.980 How many people just get shot like that?

02:22:20.880 So if you're living your life of just listening to music all the time, what is the likelihood that you will die like that?

02:22:27.320 Very likely.

02:22:28.120 If you're on your phone all day long, what is the likelihood that you will die with your phone in your hand?

02:22:32.240 Not that I'm saying it's haram to use your phone.

02:22:35.320 But it becomes haram depending on what you're accessing.

02:22:38.920 Or who you follow, what you look at on social media.

02:22:40.640 If you're reading Quran all the time, you're doing that which is righteous. 0.99

02:22:43.640 What is the likelihood that you'll die like that?

02:22:45.620 Are you like...

02:22:47.380 There was a brother that one time my cousin told me about.

02:22:51.860 He died on the football pitch.

02:22:54.540 Right?

02:22:54.960 Dying on the football pitch is not like dying listening to music.

02:22:58.280 You guys say soccer, huh?

02:23:00.400 Soccer pitch.

02:23:00.980 Soccer.

02:23:02.240 so i asked later on you know when a bit of footy what a lad sorry so i asked my cousin later on

02:23:09.840 on the line what kind of life did he goes bro this brother loved playing football again playing

02:23:14.320 football or soccer isn't actually haram it's not haram it's not haram

02:23:23.280 we're just in a live stream yeah is that right yeah

02:23:27.120 Okay, me, I don't take photos with girls, you know? 0.94

02:23:32.120 Yeah, is that right?

02:23:33.120 It's all right.

02:23:34.620 If I let you guys, all the girls are going to come running. 1.00

02:23:37.660 And we're going to have another minute of surah.

02:23:39.940 Yeah?

02:23:40.860 Inshallah.

02:23:41.920 Thank you.

02:23:42.700 Nice to meet you.

02:23:44.060 You guys can watch it live, Inshallah.

02:23:45.460 You guys can.

02:23:47.400 Three girls just came up and he doesn't take pictures with girls.

02:23:49.980 I should do the same.

02:23:50.740 I can open that door, man.

02:23:52.360 Yeah. 0.94

02:23:52.520 you're going to die the way 0.97

02:23:59.520 yeah it's as simple as that

02:24:01.860 if you take pictures with girls all the time

02:24:03.240 the likelihood you're going to die

02:24:04.300 maybe you're going to lose

02:24:05.460 imagine

02:24:06.680 imagine

02:24:07.480 you live righteously

02:24:09.960 that's basically the moral of the story

02:24:11.900 any more from the chat

02:24:16.900 two godpilled

02:24:18.380 they're all saying W

02:24:19.380 godpilled?

02:24:21.400 there's another one

02:24:21.920 godpilled

02:24:22.320 We take the God pill here

02:24:24.960 On my stream

02:24:25.800 Is that a good phrase?

02:24:30.960 Yeah

02:24:31.360 Meaning the religious pill 0.87

02:24:32.980 I think that's what they're referring to

02:24:34.000 Just leave it alone

02:24:35.740 Metaphorically speaking I think

02:24:37.500 Another Minnesota if you know you know

02:24:39.400 What happened in Minnesota?

02:24:41.400 I told you earlier

02:24:42.040 Like 7000 people turned up

02:24:44.140 I don't know whether it was 7000

02:24:46.340 Maybe it's exaggerated

02:24:47.220 So if you take a picture with a girl 0.99

02:24:49.400 There's going to be 7000 people that show up?

02:24:50.740 No, no, no. I mean like they're all going to start, you know, come in and this, that, and

02:24:55.140 you can get, you know, really out of control. And, Assalamu alaikum.

02:25:01.940 Assalamu alaikum.

02:25:02.340 I know he was still here.

02:25:03.240 Yeah, I'm here.

02:25:03.940 Did you see Brother Gleet by any chance?

02:25:06.140 Yeah, he was here. I think he was there earlier.

02:25:08.740 Assalamu alaikum.

02:25:09.740 Waalaikum salam.

02:25:10.740 Assalamu alaikum.

02:25:11.740 Assalamu alaikum.

02:25:12.740 Assalamu alaikum.

02:25:13.740 I don't feel comfortable with him as well, right?

02:25:15.740 Right.

02:25:16.740 Someone may try to argue with me that this is not free mixing or whatever have you, but

02:25:19.740 I think it's too close.

02:25:21.640 And, you know, at the end of the day,

02:25:23.920 the biggest fitna that men have are women. 1.00

02:25:26.180 Am I wrong to say that?

02:25:26.960 And that's 100% true.

02:25:28.120 This is our weakness as men.

02:25:29.960 Right.

02:25:30.460 Right?

02:25:31.060 Number one.

02:25:31.880 You know, as much as they might try to make it look like

02:25:34.760 that they are strong and whatever have you.

02:25:36.740 Allah tells us in the Quran,

02:25:37.760 وَخُلِقَ الْإِنسَانُ وَضَعِيفًا

02:25:39.200 Men have been created weak.

02:25:41.620 Imam Ahmed, Sufyan al-Thuri was,

02:25:43.120 he said that the weakness he means,

02:25:45.140 he's trying to lower his gaze.

02:25:47.120 And then a woman walks past, 1.00

02:25:48.260 he just can't

02:25:49.600 you know

02:25:49.920 I have difficulty with that

02:25:51.900 right

02:25:52.520 and when you think about it as well

02:25:53.920 a lot of the filth

02:25:54.740 and the evil

02:25:55.180 that we fall into

02:25:56.060 the root cause of it

02:25:58.300 is a glance

02:25:59.140 us looking at it

02:26:00.680 and I told you this

02:26:01.280 the other day

02:26:01.680 what the eyes can't see

02:26:02.860 the heart can't

02:26:05.180 or won't desire

02:26:06.600 the heart won't desire

02:26:07.580 that's exactly how it is

02:26:08.800 a lot of things

02:26:10.000 that we begin to desire

02:26:11.080 that we begin to

02:26:12.160 want to acquire

02:26:13.680 right

02:26:13.980 it's because of something

02:26:16.160 that we looked at right

02:26:16.900 I've seen this nice car, now I have to basically get it

02:26:19.560 Okay, he doesn't have the money

02:26:21.060 He's going to maybe even

02:26:21.960 Either, he's either going to try and steal it

02:26:24.520 Or he's going to take a haram mortgage out

02:26:26.640 Or, you know, interest

02:26:28.520 And he's going to drive himself into the ground

02:26:30.420 Or this woman now that he wants

02:26:32.600 To do something with

02:26:34.700 It all started with a glance

02:26:36.720 He didn't lower his gaze

02:26:38.860 And then just completely spiraled out of control

02:26:41.100 It's hard to lower your gaze in the West

02:26:43.020 Here, it's a little

02:26:44.540 It's a reminder when you see the women with the 1.00

02:26:46.840 the burka on you're you're reminded okay this is uh supposed to be protecting our sisters we can't

02:26:52.720 be looking at them objectifying them but now i'm thinking about going back to miami and the the

02:26:57.280 stuff a lot of booty shorts and the everything they're wearing the giant lips and the outfits

02:27:02.340 is it's gonna it's a lot more difficult over there in the west what can i ask you another

02:27:08.900 personal question i know you may not want to confess your sins but what do you have the most

02:27:13.920 trouble with um what do you have the most trouble with sin well i just put it this way we all have

02:27:19.860 shortcomings that we're trying to overcome and allah has concealed my shortcomings and i don't

02:27:26.060 think it would be right to kind of like exactly exactly speak about it publicly and that's the

02:27:29.400 general principle for everyone everyone has shortcomings and we are told in light of the

02:27:33.720 sharia that we should not be exposing the sins that we are falling into right we all have 0.91

02:27:40.620 shortcomings. Anyone who says to you

02:27:42.500 he doesn't have shortcomings and challenges, he's a liar. 0.89

02:27:44.740 And that's another shortcomings. I don't care 0.99

02:27:46.060 how big of a sheikh or a scholar you are.

02:27:49.160 Everyone has shortcomings.

02:27:51.240 100%.

02:27:51.800 Sneeko 0.75

02:27:54.440 ask if I can

02:27:56.500 say Ya Ali near Kaaba.

02:27:59.160 So,

02:28:00.320 what he's basically saying, I think this guy is actually a

02:28:02.480 Shiite. You have heard of the

02:28:04.380 Sunnis and the Shias, right? 1.00

02:28:06.420 What I've witnessed in the past, and this is

02:28:08.360 first-hand experience, of them

02:28:10.300 invoking the great

02:28:12.720 companion Ali ibn Abi Talib.

02:28:14.740 So I can tell this in my way.

02:28:16.500 And of course you can't. When we make du'a, we make

02:28:18.640 du'a directly to him. Allah, Allah, Allah.

02:28:20.880 I've actually witnessed this

02:28:22.720 around the Ka'bah. 0.63

02:28:24.640 One guy one time was screaming,

02:28:26.240 Oh Ali, save us from the hellfire.

02:28:28.700 That's the number one.

02:28:30.960 That's pagan. 0.99

02:28:32.440 It's paganism, right? Because the whole idea of Islam is one. 0.97

02:28:35.300 Tawheed. It's just

02:28:36.120 everything's one. So even then, I see

02:28:38.700 In every act of worship, we need to be making it solely for none other than God.

02:28:43.960 Whether it's du'a, invoking, whether it's the prayer, whether it's anything else.

02:28:49.500 I even saw it, we're in Medina right now, in the Prophet's grave,

02:28:53.380 I saw some people there were kind of, it was close to almost worshipping.

02:29:01.840 And I think that could be dangerous.

02:29:05.460 And the whole point of Islam is to protect from worship. 1.00

02:29:07.980 that's the greatest sin 0.71

02:29:09.260 the greatest sin is shirk

02:29:10.880 which is to associate partners of God

02:29:12.900 or to divert acts of worship to other than God

02:29:15.340 and no one should be getting

02:29:17.560 anywhere close to that

02:29:19.020 whatsoever, we need to take precaution

02:29:21.020 so kissing the Kaaba 0.97

02:29:23.200 things like that, is that also sure?

02:29:24.640 the reason why we kiss the Kaaba is because the Prophet done it 1.00

02:29:27.240 and we're doing it simply because

02:29:28.940 the Prophet, the peace and blessings be upon him, done it

02:29:31.000 but when you see people walking around

02:29:32.420 climbing and trying to

02:29:33.780 of course there's exaggerations

02:29:36.980 and everything we need to basically just stick to what the prophet mentioned whenever you have a

02:29:40.800 question about should i do this should i not the first question that should come to mind is what

02:29:44.880 did the prophet may peace and blessings be upon him and his companions do and that's how we should

02:29:50.180 be living our lives that's our blueprint right i need nothing more nothing less does that make

02:29:55.620 sense try and hit that blueprint you know perfectly the same way an engineer erects buildings and

02:30:01.160 you know uh he follows a blueprint right of what he needs to do that's how we should basically be

02:30:06.480 living our lives as Muslims.

02:30:08.680 If it's Sunnah or not.

02:30:10.400 Yeah.

02:30:10.940 You need to ask.

02:30:12.240 Did the Prophet do it? 0.93

02:30:14.000 Did the Messenger ﷺ carry out like this?

02:30:16.880 Did the companions do it in this way?

02:30:19.300 That's a question that we should always ask.

02:30:21.220 What will happen to the pagans after?

02:30:23.740 When they die?

02:30:24.760 Where are they going?

02:30:25.180 So we are told that if you do not embrace and submit yourself to monotheism, right?

02:30:32.260 In the Quran, that your abode will be none other than the hellfire. 1.00

02:30:36.480 Anything other than that

02:30:38.600 You are under the will of God

02:30:39.780 He may choose to forgive you

02:30:41.940 Right?

02:30:42.940 As long as you have towhid

02:30:43.760 Right?

02:30:44.080 He may choose to forgive you

02:30:45.240 Or 0.87

02:30:45.900 You may be punished in the hellfire

02:30:47.920 Right?

02:30:49.780 And I don't think we want to even have a 1% chance

02:30:51.940 Of being burnt in the hellfire

02:30:53.160 That is 170th

02:30:54.680 Of the fire that we kindle with

02:30:56.780 Or should I say

02:30:58.280 The fire that we kindle with in this world

02:30:59.860 Is 170th

02:31:00.920 Of the hellfire

02:31:01.660 Of the hellfire

02:31:02.260 I don't want to take that chance

02:31:03.260 I'm going to be honest

02:31:03.920 Yeah

02:31:04.200 I don't want to take that chance

02:31:05.980 You get sometimes bent using, you know, the stove.

02:31:10.580 Right.

02:31:11.200 You can barely bear it, you know?

02:31:13.180 70 times more, that's tough.

02:31:16.580 Let me ask you this, because we have so many Christians watching.

02:31:18.740 Yeah.

02:31:19.540 That I see online, especially when it comes to the liberalism,

02:31:22.180 the feminism, and the LGBT indoctrination, 0.82

02:31:24.860 that the Christians and Muslims, we see that we have a lot in common,

02:31:27.740 especially when it comes to resisting that indoctrination.

02:31:31.260 Do you consider Christians' brothers,

02:31:35.200 What do you think, especially recently, last year and a half?

02:31:39.180 I would say that they are more closer to us than many of the other religions.

02:31:44.440 Okay.

02:31:45.260 They are closer to us than many of the other religions.

02:31:50.100 And if they just moved away from the pagan aspects of what they involved themselves in,

02:31:56.740 then, right, they'll be even more and more closer.

02:32:00.680 Right.

02:32:01.220 Does that make sense?

02:32:02.260 And it's one step away.

02:32:03.080 If they really embrace the idea, if Christians embrace monotheism. 0.73

02:32:06.680 Like when you think about it, the Holy Trinity, at times we're hearing that Jesus is God.

02:32:12.240 And another time we're being told that he is the, you know, the son of God, whatever have you, right?

02:32:18.020 He's a man and a God at the same time.

02:32:19.600 Yeah, man and a God at the same time.

02:32:20.480 I grew up Catholic, Holy Spirit, I don't even know what that is.

02:32:23.960 And then we eat the body of Christ and I'm eating God while you're eating the cracker. 0.61

02:32:28.020 Then you drink alcohol, kids are drinking alcohol and it's blood.

02:32:31.060 Why am I drinking Jesus' blood?

02:32:32.120 these are these you know don't feel disrespected christians watching that is what you do

02:32:36.280 these practices are and we believe that he's a prophet you can't bless him except that he is

02:32:43.680 and the messiah correct yeah so jesus is coming back yeah he will eventually to stop the the jaw

02:32:49.160 yeah and uh really just think about it right every christian i've ever spoken to whenever i brought

02:32:55.420 this up okay at times you're saying that he's a son of god while at the same time he's god

02:32:59.200 so what happened

02:33:00.140 God was crucified

02:33:01.780 okay

02:33:02.240 when God was crucified

02:33:03.320 where is God

02:33:04.220 a son of God

02:33:05.560 you see what I'm saying

02:33:06.260 like

02:33:06.500 and if he is indeed God

02:33:08.540 then

02:33:08.800 how was he not able

02:33:10.580 to protect himself

02:33:11.480 against these people

02:33:12.480 who tried to take his life

02:33:13.500 God is

02:33:14.900 you know

02:33:16.080 the best of planners

02:33:16.780 you know

02:33:17.320 you see what I'm saying

02:33:18.320 like

02:33:18.560 yeah

02:33:19.020 honestly really

02:33:20.220 never made sense to me

02:33:21.640 not me neither

02:33:22.200 and to a lot of other Christians

02:33:24.200 didn't make sense to them

02:33:25.780 hence why

02:33:26.280 they ended up

02:33:26.860 just leaving Christianity 0.99

02:33:27.640 altogether

02:33:28.140 and putting a big X on religion.

02:33:31.160 Oh, you completely are.

02:33:32.580 Which I don't think is right, of course.

02:33:34.400 It's better to be a Christian than an atheist. 0.90

02:33:40.300 Tell them to...

02:33:41.040 They want to hear another Quran recitation if you can.

02:33:44.040 You really are a haphaz.

02:33:45.060 I didn't expect that.

02:33:45.940 I didn't expect that.

02:33:46.660 You're a haphaz.

02:33:47.060 It took eight months.

02:33:47.860 How much studying did you do every day to become a haphaz? 0.96

02:33:49.780 I was doing a lot, man.

02:33:50.880 Four or five hours a day?

02:33:52.220 A lot more than that.

02:33:53.240 For eight months?

02:33:55.120 Yeah.

02:33:55.400 But with everything, you have to make sacrifices, right?

02:33:58.660 Right.

02:33:59.520 You can't expect to achieve anything in life by being a chiller. 1.00

02:34:03.840 What are you going to say?

02:34:04.820 Chiller.

02:34:05.440 It's funny when you use the American accent once again, you're like, soccer, chiller, mark.

02:34:09.160 I remember, subhanAllah, reading up on Elon Musk.

02:34:12.200 I believe he was 16 hours a day that he was putting into his Tesla and SpaceX and whatever have you.

02:34:21.500 I read it a very long time ago.

02:34:23.200 It doesn't surprise me that he's one of the richest people on the face of this earth.

02:34:27.160 Right.

02:34:27.800 You look at Cristiano Ronaldo.

02:34:29.760 He's a Muslim now, right? 0.99

02:34:31.040 No, he's not a Muslim. 0.89

02:34:31.960 Really?

02:34:33.760 No, I don't think he's a Muslim.

02:34:35.160 He did a rakat after he scored.

02:34:37.340 Did he?

02:34:37.980 Yeah.

02:34:39.740 Sujood, you mean?

02:34:40.720 Sujood. 0.97

02:34:41.360 Frustration.

02:34:42.140 Right.

02:34:43.080 Yeah, I don't know, man.

02:34:44.780 Maybe when he announces, we'll probably find out.

02:34:47.060 He's probably taking his time still learning.

02:34:48.720 He's a very public figure, so he doesn't want to immediately.

02:34:50.540 And I honestly believe that, you know, it's not far-fetched that he will...

02:34:54.640 Inshallah, Ronaldo, you're welcome.

02:34:56.240 You know, embrace Islam.

02:34:58.640 Yeah.

02:34:59.620 You know, being in that environment, if you have a lot of Muslims around you...

02:35:03.660 You're going to see the truth in it.

02:35:04.700 Yeah, eventually, hopefully, you will.

02:35:06.340 You're in a barbershop long enough, you're going to get your hair cut.

02:35:08.180 Recently, I heard, because I was in Riyadh,

02:35:10.640 that one of the restaurant owners actually mentioned that he's very much interested into Islam.

02:35:17.140 There's a restaurant that he goes to over there.

02:35:18.980 MashaAllah.

02:35:19.340 I'm not going to expose his vocation

02:35:21.060 But this is what I heard

02:35:23.520 So you know there's high hopes

02:35:25.540 Inshallah ta'ala that one day

02:35:26.700 Him and the rest as well will

02:35:29.040 Really open up to the truth

02:35:30.720 Inshallah ta'ala 0.99

02:35:32.980 So I made a mistake

02:35:34.100 So the difference is sujood and rakah

02:35:35.920 Sujood is prostration on the ground 0.99

02:35:37.220 To bow

02:35:38.200 That's basically the rakah 0.74

02:35:39.680 What do you have to say to the

02:35:44.420 A lot of Christians

02:35:46.100 Should we give them a recitation

02:35:47.060 Yeah I want to hear

02:35:48.220 want to hear it. That's what I asked earlier.

02:36:18.220 Surah Al-Fatihah

02:36:48.220 I think we should end on that.

02:37:18.220 That was beautiful.

02:37:20.300 Thank you.

02:37:21.460 I appreciate that.

02:37:23.340 Thank you so much.

02:37:24.640 I really commend you for taking the trip

02:37:26.120 all the way here in order to ask questions.

02:37:29.360 Of course.

02:37:29.980 Honestly, remind me of something that

02:37:31.740 the righteous of the people,

02:37:33.620 the righteous of the past would do.

02:37:35.660 Where they would travel maybe

02:37:37.000 a month's distance by foot

02:37:39.040 in order to ask for one hadith.

02:37:41.560 And then they would go back.

02:37:42.800 And sometimes they might even find

02:37:43.980 that that person that they wanted

02:37:45.080 to take the hadith from,

02:37:46.640 he passed away.

02:37:47.220 right so you can insha'Allah consider yourself someone who's gone out trying to seek knowledge

02:37:52.960 hopefully you'll do it more on a bigger scale as well right uh on a more uh what's the word

02:38:02.200 i'm looking for a more consistent basis insha'Allah but honestly this has been really really good

02:38:06.540 because that was that which is going to save all of us is none other than knowledge right

02:38:11.580 as I was mentioned to some brothers earlier

02:38:14.160 we have the fitna of temptations

02:38:16.020 and the fitna of doubts

02:38:18.000 people are going to try and throw a lot of doubts at you

02:38:20.100 they do

02:38:20.920 to really shake your faith

02:38:23.860 right

02:38:25.420 and that which is going to really help us

02:38:28.080 shield ourselves

02:38:30.180 from these doubts that come our way

02:38:32.060 is none other than knowledge

02:38:32.940 right

02:38:34.300 and there's so much more to learn

02:38:36.500 how many years of study have you done

02:38:39.820 So, I've spent a total of 10 years abroad.

02:38:43.260 All right.

02:38:43.420 It's nice to meet you.

02:38:44.580 All right.

02:38:46.300 What do you think?

02:38:47.860 Huh?

02:38:48.940 No, I don't think that.

02:38:50.860 This is...

02:38:51.860 What do you think?

02:38:55.500 That's all right.

02:38:56.580 Yes, that's all right.

02:38:57.060 Good knowledge.

02:38:57.540 Good knowledge.

02:38:57.900 Good knowledge.

02:38:58.780 Assalamualaikum.

02:38:59.660 Yes, I don't like it.

02:39:00.820 I don't like it.

02:39:01.060 I don't like it.

02:39:02.820 What about you?

02:39:04.060 This is a podcast, approximately.

02:39:06.140 How?

02:39:06.500 This is a podcast.

02:39:07.060 This is a podcast.

02:39:07.740 they're saying w stream right now the chats uh they really they really enjoy this one i really

02:39:26.960 enjoyed this podcast before i did the outro i pronounced it i said it right yeah you said

02:39:34.320 make sure that my

02:39:36.860 incompetent team fixes the title

02:39:38.860 I really feel bad about that, that was not me

02:39:40.700 I can even show you the conversation

02:39:42.500 I said make sure

02:39:43.380 make sure you spell his name right

02:39:47.160 but I have the pagans

02:39:49.040 working for me

02:39:53.140 you had your umrah today

02:39:56.280 he doesn't speak English

02:39:57.200 we'll talk after

02:39:59.960 can you tell me I need to end the podcast

02:40:02.320 InshaAllah ta'ala, my brothers and my sisters who have been listening and also to the non-Muslims,

02:40:12.720 I want to invite every single one of you guys to take this journey so much more seriously.

02:40:17.260 Even there are a lot of people who were born upon an Islam but have never ever tasted the sweetness of this faith 1.00

02:40:23.540 simply because we haven't really gone out to learn about our religion.

02:40:28.260 Please, my brothers, my sisters, and to all the non-Muslims who are listening,

02:40:32.320 Explore Al-Islam.

02:40:34.020 Why are people like Andrew Tate?

02:40:35.360 Why are people like my brother here?

02:40:37.100 Sneak out.

02:40:38.440 Embracing Al-Islam. 0.99

02:40:39.460 I'm not saying that you're going to become perfect

02:40:42.340 or any one of them are perfect

02:40:43.900 or even myself is perfect.

02:40:45.440 People are not perfect,

02:40:46.620 but Islam is perfect.

02:40:47.760 But they must have seen something

02:40:49.300 in order for them to really pay attention to this religion.

02:40:52.960 So this is my advice to you guys, inshaAllah.

02:40:55.400 I really hope you guys at least

02:40:57.120 give yourselves a chance

02:40:59.380 by looking into Al-Islam.

02:41:01.120 and I will guarantee you

02:41:03.320 it will really blow your mind away

02:41:04.700 especially with everything

02:41:07.280 that we've been seeing happening in the last couple of weeks

02:41:09.180 with our Palestinian brothers

02:41:10.780 why are so many of these western governments

02:41:13.700 trying to

02:41:15.520 bury the reality

02:41:17.520 of what's actually happening

02:41:18.580 voting against the ceasefire and whatever have you

02:41:21.280 like what happened in the UK

02:41:23.560 the west

02:41:25.740 is it really the answer

02:41:27.260 my friends that are listening

02:41:28.920 I hope inshallah ta'ala 0.98

02:41:31.580 We can stop on that note

02:41:33.720 You guys take care of yourselves

02:41:35.600 And until then

02:41:37.060 Hopefully maybe one day we'll have another

02:41:40.040 Get together

02:41:40.920 He's going to be leaving, I'm going to be going back to my studies

02:41:44.060 Right

02:42:14.060 really want to learn

02:42:14.820 and hopefully

02:42:16.040 you will continue

02:43:05.720 and any Muslims to take a trip to Mecca and Medina.

02:43:09.340 Come to the Holy Land.

02:43:10.540 It's exactly what it was.

02:43:12.720 I don't even want to leave, man.

02:43:14.160 Me, personally?

02:43:15.640 I was in the UK for a year and a half.

02:43:17.220 I did all those trips.

02:43:18.780 But Allah, in my heart,

02:43:19.600 was really craving to go back to Medina, man.

02:43:22.820 Alhamdulillah.

02:43:23.840 Alhamdulillah, inshallah.

02:43:54.620 What the fuck? 1.00
