02:58:56.420Because I feel like Black Lives Matter movement started as something that was really good and
02:59:02.360I feel like it turned into something that was more like a trend.
02:59:05.020Um, even with like during the pandemic, it was all about, um, support, um, support black owned businesses and, you know, integrating black models and being more open with different, um, ethnicities and races.
02:59:19.220And now it's going back to only white models or only, um, it's not inclusive anymore.
02:59:25.560So I just feel like the Black Lives Matter movement has gotten a little bit muddy.
02:59:31.680Um, I don't think things like Black Lives Matter and things like that should be a trend.
02:59:35.920I think that they should be, it should be a lifestyle.
03:29:01.760I want to convert all the Ethan D. Klein fans to understand that their favorite podcaster is a Zionist running away, crawling into the tunnels beneath this city.
03:48:39.780I think it has an impact on other people, and I think we should really look into the impact we have on other people with what we say and how we say it and where we present it, but is it okay for him to say it?
03:48:58.760Do you think there's only two genders?
03:48:59.800I don't think there's, like, really been two genders, if we look back, like, in history or, like, in, like, Asian cultures, Asian, like, religions.
03:49:13.040If you dig at their bones and stuff, what genders does it say they are?
03:49:17.300I'm not personally digging up bones and identifying, like, a gender based off of them, but what would you, how would you answer that question?
03:49:24.600Well, I'm assuming it would be, like, you know, you know, there'd be, like, I'm assuming it would be, like, trans, there'd be, like, like, the binaries.
03:49:35.160I think they obviously, like, look at them as just, like, a specimen, a human, so I think they'd think of them non-binary immediately before they would assume a gender between them.
05:00:59.360I don't even know where to start with that.
05:01:00.940We were basically explaining to him, like, why...
05:01:03.840Or Sneeko was saying why he eats halal meat.
05:01:06.000And I was explaining how, like, when you kill an animal halal, they have less cortisol through their blood because they're not as stressed out.
05:01:14.300And then, you know, he didn't, like, comprehend that.
05:01:16.580And then so we went to, like, well, you know, like, when the elites eat babies, they stress out the babies to get adrenaline in their blood.
05:01:22.260And then that's what makes it adrenochrome.
05:01:24.020And he was just looking at us like we had...
05:01:25.860Trying to explain adrenochrome to somebody who's working in, like, a...
06:25:36.740I mean, we're all going to go inshallah.
06:25:38.220But Medina is, I think in a lot of ways, better than Mecca in terms of, I would much rather live in, well, not better in terms of a place, but I would live in Medina 100%.
06:25:47.380Every time I go back there, I end up spending more time than I have expected.
06:25:52.220And there's a lot of Muslims, I'm sure you've met those people, that they go once for Umar or something or Hajj, and they end up staying forever.
06:25:58.160I met a lot of people in Medina that just, they went to visit, and they immediately got a department, got a house, and then they went to college to pursue Islamic knowledge nonstop.
06:27:11.740Well, I just wanted to advise a good brother to try to bring more Alhamdulillah for Jammai brothers on your streams, and these conferences are very important.
06:27:24.160Brother, you just don't know, at the time, it's like, people was reading Alhamdulillah, I was a bulletin, you know, went from rock to jazz, you know, to Islam, man, to the...
06:27:40.400Islam has to continue to grow, and all you young people, you'll have to establish wherever you are, listen, you're in the university, you're in high school, establish Islam as a president.
06:27:53.080Like, people said, it's a new awakening, and via Islam, and Islam is for the future.
06:28:14.980Because, like I said, a long time ago, it's over 25 years, we had the first conference, and it was a major challenge, and now we have the conferences here, the young people here, imagine what's going to happen in the next 20 years.
06:28:26.980So, just to summarize, for the brothers that didn't hear from the mic, he's giving the advice, he's going to bring more people with the sunnah, strong, you know, du'at on his screen, and he's doing it, mashallah.
06:28:38.500And I tell you many times, he gives me a call, and it's my fault, like, I'll be busy or whatever, but we'll be doing more stuff together in the future, inshallah.
06:28:45.100I didn't give a chance to the people on the left, but I got you in the black shirt after I get a brother here.
06:28:51.620What would you advise me to new Muslims?
06:29:02.300You have to surround yourself with other brothers.
06:29:05.040As soon as you take your shahada and you become a reaver, you have to leave a lot of people behind, or else you're just going to get sucked back into their lifestyle, because you're the sum of the five people that you spend the most time with.
06:29:17.260If you're around people that are still in that former lifestyle that you're in, then you're going to remain there as well.
06:29:22.300So, it's either you try to bring them to the dean, or you just find brothers that are on the same pathway as you, because that's the best way.
06:29:28.860That's the best that I've been able to stay focused, is being around people, not traveling around the world with these people.
06:29:35.800Because if they're praying, then you're going to pray.
06:29:38.080If they're going to Jumaat pray, you're going to go as well.
06:29:40.540If they're reading Koran, you're going to read Koran as well.
06:29:42.280If you're around people who's drinking, smoking, all these things, you're going to pick up the beer, you're going to pick up the joint too.
06:29:47.420You have to leave those people behind.
06:29:48.800And you can't think that you're, don't let them say that you're a bad friend.
06:29:52.940Don't let them say it's because you don't care about me anymore.
06:29:55.720You care about these people, but you care about yourself as well.
06:29:58.060And you care about them so much that you don't want to encourage them doing the same things that they were doing before.
06:30:03.460I care about their health to the point where if you're going to drink, if you're going to smoke, I can't be around you.
06:30:08.040And hopefully, just that resistance is going to go and encourage them to do the right thing as well.
06:31:06.480So, be the best representative of Islam.
06:31:08.220If you're presenting yourself as a good Muslim as much as you could possibly be, and you're showing what this life brings and the fulfillment, and what it's like to have the brotherhood that we have.
06:31:17.700Because Islamic brotherhood is incomparable to any sort of brotherhood that they try to replace it with.
06:31:21.960They try to replace it with fraternities.
06:31:23.840They try to replace it with groups and going to the club.
06:34:42.300My question is, you mentioned, Malcolm X earlier, in his book, he mentioned that the reason why he kind of got brought to the Islam is because I think he saw white men and black men eat together.
06:34:54.620And it was the most beautiful thing that you saw in the Medina.
06:34:56.780Would you say that it was the beautiful thing that you saw in your breast?
06:35:02.040So, the brother said that when you mentioned Malcolm X, he said one of the most beautiful things that brought him to the true Islam is seeing white men and black men sitting and eating together when he was in Hajj.
06:35:13.140And he said to Sneeko, what is something that you found really beautiful in Islam?
06:38:49.140It's all, all the money that you make from there is from, like, prostitution, from gambling, from pimping, from, all of it is from drugs, from sports betting.
06:38:58.220Everything that the content creator is making lots of money off of now is from doing exactly what we're told not to do in Islam.
06:39:03.800And I've been very public about one thing specific, is that I refused a big gambling offer.
06:44:49.420There is ikhtilaf al-ulimah on this issue.
06:44:52.020And, I mean, since you asked, I'm going to give you the opinion that I take.
06:44:55.120But, you know, there is, it's a thing with the great khilaf.
06:44:58.660But, the majority of the scholars said, a woman's gold for personal use, like not something that she's saving for money or wealth, but rather something she just wears to beautify herself for her husband, there is no zakat on it.
06:45:14.140And, this is the opinion of the maktamit of the shafi'i maliki in hanbali madhab.
06:45:20.320The Hanafi madhab, they said there is zakat on it.
06:45:22.880And, many of the contemporary scholars that took that view as well, and I'll look at you next on it.
07:30:45.180So, if you believe that, and you have any reservations about Islam, or anything that you want to ask before we officially do your testimony?
08:49:22.920And it was a blessing to join Sheikh Osman, you know, in this new world.
08:49:30.920And we just want to present to you the vision that we had and how far we gathered this vision so far.
08:49:39.920When I, and I would like Sheikh Osman to convey his speech because he always convinced it well about being proactive regarding solutions, not to just sit and complain.
08:50:18.920Of course, you can buy cash from Ruta.
08:50:20.920We have issues of trying to get made in a halal way.
08:50:27.920We have issues of, you know, having defense funding when we're being cancelled.
08:50:33.920We have issues of how to gather the brothers together in conferences without music, without politicians trying to push their agenda.
08:50:41.920There's different ways to approach. One is to complain.
08:50:46.920And that's why most of them have to sit around and complain. Is this king's fault? Is this president's fault? Is this organization's fault?
08:50:52.920And they shake their fists at the TV and then go back and do nothing.
08:50:56.920But not a lot of worship thing that when me and him had a discussion about conferences where we were being divided.
08:51:01.920But they weren't in a halal. He said, let's fix it. Let's make our own.
08:51:05.920And again, I want to emphasize this Muslim right here, that birthplace.
08:51:10.920This is the first conference we have here. Allahu Akbar.
08:51:15.920But not just a conference. We said, okay, let's take all the issues that the Muslim community is facing and let's start throwing solutions.
08:51:24.920You don't want to just complain. You don't want to come up with solutions.
08:51:27.920So now, schooling, Islamic education, not having to deal with the LGBTQ, XYZ agenda in the regular schools.
08:51:35.920So this is an example of a solution. A lot of word-checking.
08:51:40.920Okay. I'm going to begin with the education part because we believe the first command in the revelation was what?
08:51:49.920Which means what? Learn. For us to make a change, we must learn. We must learn. For us to make a change and make a difference, we must learn.
08:52:02.920And this is how far AIM has done. This is how far AIM has done with the education.
08:52:14.920We called it, if you want to look at the PowerPoint here, inspiring change through knowledge and action.
08:52:23.920We have four wings so far. One of them was already established. And may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala reward. Is Dr. Hassan Salah here? He's gone? He's the president of Safa.
08:52:36.920Insha'Allah Allah. That's the first wing. We're going to bring Safa and bring it in. That is Salah al-Din, Future Academy.
08:52:43.920That's a national school. K-12. Fully accredited. Karnia. That's an American accreditation. And we also have Cambridge, which is a British accreditation.
08:52:59.920This is an Islamic school where we teach the regular curriculum, but we develop, we're working it. We're not perfect. We still have a lot of ground for movements.
08:53:11.920We are trying to create that clinical thinking. We're going to give them both sides of the story so they can make up their decisions.
08:53:21.920Just go while you're sitting down and check it out. Safa, you'll see it at all. Right here. A fully functioning school. It's a national school.
08:53:29.920Actually, we have students who join us internationally. And we have different locations on-site.
08:53:35.920We have Kalwadu. We have Viola that's in the border, filling with New Jersey. And we have this building. This is a building. School building, by the way.
08:53:45.920Where we are. We have a school here. Function school. Yeah. In that building. Salah al-Din, Future Academy. Right here.
08:53:51.920And we have learning centers in Chicago, Virginia, and other places. And we're open. We're actually establishing something in Oakland, San Francisco.
08:54:00.920So this is the first win right here, K-12. In order to save your children from the moral decay now. The L, D, G, T, W, X, Y, Z.
08:54:12.920That's the agenda now imposed on our children in the public school system. And also in order to establish something.

08:56:09.920Hopefully this means something to you.
08:56:10.920Hopefully this means something to you. These are heavy words. So this is the first challenge. The next is the housing.
08:56:16.920We have been myself and chief of MAC. Blunt. Clear. About this guidance. About this default. About this fake financing. Hook. Home financing. We know what they get the money from Freddie Mac and Manny Faye or Fannie Mae. Whatever they say.
08:56:21.920They get it from lending company. And themselves they pay interest. And they pay interest. And they pay interest.
08:56:28.920The contract for you to make it look islamic. It is not. Always look at the source of the funds.
08:56:35.920Where do you get the funds? Where do you get the funds? To fund the house. If the money is coming from a conventional.
08:56:42.920lending company. There is a federal law in this country. There is a federal law in this country. That you have to pay interest. You have to pay interest.
08:56:49.920You have to pay interest. Imagine if you have a 401k. If you take money from it. You have to return. That's your money. You have to return it with what?
08:56:56.920With ribbon. Because they want to sustain that system. Islam comes and defuse them.
08:57:03.920And they always look at the source of the funds. When you get the funds to fund the house. If the money is coming from a conventional.
08:57:06.920Limiting company. There is a federal law in this country. That you have to pay interest. You have to pay interest. You have to pay interest.
08:57:12.920Imagine if you have a 401k. If you take money from it. You have to return. That's your money. You have to return it with what?
08:57:19.920With ribbon. Because they want to sustain that system. Islam comes and defuse them.
08:57:25.920Alhamdulillah. We have been working for the last year. With a credible company. Brothers who are in the Islamic financing.
08:57:35.920Who now developed this contract. But for this contract to work. We need financing. Because again. We need people to finance.
08:57:46.920Meaning people to invest in the project. When you put some money as an investment. You receive revenue.
08:57:54.920From the rental. And everybody will get his turn to buy a house. There is more information to this. But if we need to know.
08:58:04.920How much interest we have. That's why we have this application right here. If you want to QR it. Next please. That application right here. If you're interested to invest.
08:58:14.920And we're all in your home. That may not happen today. Or tomorrow. Or next year. Or three, four years. But if you want to put money to invest.

08:58:34.920You're going to receive maybe 100 this month. 200 the next month. Because that's an investment. And you take the risk as well. But alhamdulillah.
08:58:43.920That project is being thoroughly checked. And we're up for action now. So we need to know how much interest. So that application will give us an insight.
08:58:56.920Of how much interest you have. In joining this. In Nubur. In sha Allah. In ilai ta'ala. Our next. We know that you want to get married.

08:59:14.920Authentic. Any mission has a matrimonial service. All you have to do is scan this. You're going to go into a group. And we do it islamically.
08:59:23.920There is no message where we can bring you like other people. Okay. Please meet her. How do you like. We don't do that stuff.
08:59:30.920We don't do that stuff. We don't do that. We do it sunnah way. In sha Allah. We do the sunnah way. In sha Allah.
08:59:35.920In sha Allah. We have a whole team who develop a plan like this. In sha Allah. So this is our next.

09:03:26.660and he ended up operating on a brother
09:03:30.660They didn't have any speaker. And this brother as they were operating on him and that's why when I led the Salah, I don't be there in front of them. I found myself reading Surah Al-Basas. He was a disciple of Surah Al-Basas.
09:03:47.400Just to show you, you know, SubhanAllah, Dr. Zakir this morning in Indonesia, he said the people of Gaza are making us see verses of the Qur'an life. This is what the Qur'an teaching. Watch that video.
09:05:19.380I, you know, we always read the previous, you know, they always read the story of Al-Basas when they wanted to cut some sugar. And he said, no, just cut it what I'm making. Don't give me any drugs.
09:05:37.380Surah Al-Basas. He was forced, of course, because the Zionists are not allowing Basics to go into Gaza.
09:24:05.980I know all of you mashallah are shahallah in either ayahdul wa dha'at or in finaling du'a'at or giving ditawah,
09:24:13.980and in shkaa'alah you guys have tullab uim in your seeking knowledge,
09:24:18.620and you're increasing in your daily effort for the sake of Allah shani wa ta'ala.
09:24:24.180But I want to bring some of you well-known people who are giving da'wah and all of us are at different levels and some of the brothers, mashallah, brothers, people just accept Islam.
09:24:34.180But from the hadith, as soon as he became Muslim, he was giving da'wah. People on the screen write something Islam, that's something beautiful, something we should encourage.
09:24:44.180As we encourage him to keep knowledge and to get closer from Allah.
09:24:49.180And we have very experienced brothers here, brothers that have been giving da'wah for a long time, and brothers from all over the world.
09:24:56.180We have brothers from Bahrain, brothers representing Florida, we have the UK representation out here, mashallah.

09:25:09.180And Louise, mashallah, representing that CA by the West Coast, right with us.
09:25:14.180So, you see very different brothers. We also have brother, mashallah, from Canada, online with us.
09:25:24.180We have other brothers, you know, from different parts that are here.
09:25:28.180So, I wanted to bring an adult together to have a conversation about challenges, about experiences that we face and du'ahs.
09:25:36.180So, you can benefit from that, and then you can, inshallah, utilize that in your da'wah.
09:25:43.180So, you know, we want all of you to be active in da'wah.
09:25:48.180It doesn't mean you're scholars. Understand the difference.
09:37:24.980Allah is very important, my brothers and sisters, and trust me, Allah will praise you and elevate you in your life, in your affairs, in your household, you will see the effects of that knowledge that you seek, you will see it in your own house, in your own life, you will see how Allah rewards that seeking of knowledge, because this is why you are forgiving for it, you know, and I think with knowledge, the other, like a bird has two wings, right?
09:37:55.580In da'wah, knowledge and akhlaq, good mannerisms, right? That's something, sometimes, especially with all the online beef and steak and back and forth and drama, which they should save it for their mama, right? With all this stuff, sometimes you lose the akhlaq, right?
09:38:14.360I don't mean to be weak, don't get my words twisted. As a Muslim, I'm not turning the other cheek, I'm not letting anybody mock me, I'm not going to be weak about it, but at the same time, I'm going to do my best to have the best mannerisms, to be the most patient.
09:38:30.960And I wanted to ask our Brother Ruiz, from the Da'wah Advaitates, Inshallah, to give us a few words of advice about how to have good mannerisms in Da'wah.
09:38:43.560First and foremost, I want to thank you to the organizers and staff for putting this event on.
09:39:00.160Incredibly honored to be here. Second thing, thank every one of you guys for coming out and showing the support.
09:39:09.480In regards to giving Da'wah, something that has helped me tremendously is to be relatable.
09:39:18.000Is there anything right now that you guys can think of, that you have in common with each other and with strangers?
09:39:27.860Anybody, Inshallah, what's one thing that you have in common?
09:39:43.320This is the common denominator, that we are human beings.
09:39:48.000Mashallah, you may have knowledge, but if you don't have a way to present this knowledge in a way in which somebody is willing to listen to you and to actually inculcate what they're hearing, it's all for naught.
09:40:03.800Furthermore, in regards to Adab, there needs to be a lot of patience.
09:42:24.480There's times when we have to take an offensive position because there's a spread of misinformation.
09:42:29.700And it's incumbent on us to stop that spread.
09:42:32.740But if somebody is willing to have a beautiful dialogue with you, you pave the way for progress by massaging these conversations out and help them just take the next step.
09:42:45.860You don't need to have them immediately take a shahadah.
09:46:15.520And initially, because I was ignorant to Islam, because I lacked knowledge, and this is why it's so important for us to actually seek knowledge,
09:46:24.900I went through a phase, as the shaykh mentioned, where I rejected what me, unfortunately.
09:46:30.280And alhamdulillah, I'm racist several years ago now.
09:46:33.860And I just want to mention a few things about why that is.
09:46:40.700First, it is because I lacked knowledge initially.
09:46:44.680Of course, I still need to grow much more in Shalma.
09:46:49.180But I lacked knowledge to the point that I didn't really understand the necessity of the sun.
09:52:02.780It mentions that in verse, in Ayah 143 of the Quran, right, of Surah Al-Babharam.
09:52:08.920And then the next verse after that says, but now we are turning you to a new Khidna.
09:52:15.460And it explicitly mentions the Prophet A.S. was following another direction for prayer for Muslims, which, as we know, is one of the pillars of the religion.
09:52:36.480It was something related to the direction of prayer, which, if you don't get that right, your prayer is not valid, right?
09:52:42.020You can't just pray in any direction you want.
09:52:58.660So the idea of the first Khidna, or direction of prayer, is mentioned, but there's no details about what that Khidna was, what direction it was.
09:53:10.800We know from the Sunnah, from the Hadith, we know what it is, and that's why people were able to answer it, Masha'Allah.
09:53:17.880But there's no explicit reference of exactly what that Khidna was in the Quran.
09:53:24.220So now, the question for them is, what was that direction of prayer, and why was the Prophet A.S. following that?
09:53:34.840If his only revelation, his only, the only wahi that he received was the Quran, then did he just make this up on his own?
