00:00:00.000 Next to somebody who may be a beggar in the street to show that we're all one human race, one body.
00:00:10.520 And once you see the clothes gone, you can't even tell where somebody's from.
00:00:15.360 They could be Mexican or Pakistani, you can't tell.
00:00:17.580 You know, you could be Algerian or Moroccan or whatever, nobody cares anymore.
00:00:22.140 You're all Muslims, one family, going and seeing what all the prophets did from Abraham onwards,
00:00:28.560 coming and performing the Hajj.
00:00:30.480 So what else are you supposed to do?
00:00:32.260 You walk around seven times.
00:00:34.600 I think the first four are slower.
00:00:37.900 So here, you start with the Hajj al-Aswad, the black stone that was sent by Allah from the sky.
00:00:44.420 We don't worship it, to be clear.
00:00:46.820 It's just something that Allah sent as a sign.
00:00:50.660 You go around it, starting from it, seven times.
00:00:53.580 The first three times, you're going to jog.
00:00:56.340 You're going to be three.
00:00:57.580 You're going to jog a little bit, right?
00:00:59.360 For men, not for women.
00:01:00.740 And then the next four, you walk.
00:01:03.000 Then you slow down.
00:01:03.800 Okay.
00:01:04.000 You slow down.
00:01:04.620 So seven all together.
00:01:06.360 You...
00:01:06.800 And do I have to go bald?
00:01:09.240 Wait, wait, wait till we get there, man.
00:01:10.740 So you do the seven.
00:01:13.500 Afterwards, you're going to drink from the Zamzam water that you've been drinking from, the blessed water.
00:01:18.300 And then you're going to pray with the Maqam of Ibrahim, the place where Abraham stood between you and the Kaaba.
00:01:25.200 So it reminds you that Abraham stood here.
00:01:28.400 This is not a new religion.
00:01:29.740 This is the same religion from the time of Adam to Muhammad.
00:01:32.720 Peace and blessings be upon all the prophets.
00:01:34.660 And you're going to pray two units, two Raka'a there.
00:01:37.660 Then you're going to go, drink some more Zamzam, make dua, pray, supplicate.
00:01:42.680 And then you go do Sa'i, which you see on the right, this covered area.
00:01:47.200 That's like a long strip.
00:01:49.480 This is between Safa and Marwa.
00:01:52.180 The two hills are small.
00:01:54.120 What strips?
00:01:54.840 On the right.
00:01:55.600 So you look on the right, this straight line.
00:01:58.460 So you see the Kaaba?
00:01:59.420 Yeah.
00:01:59.700 It's circling around.
00:02:00.480 There you see this long strip that goes back and forth.
00:02:04.380 Can you zoom in?
00:02:05.360 Yes.
00:02:07.260 You can zoom.
00:02:08.640 Where is it?
00:02:09.720 Let's see.
00:02:10.300 Oh, Warner knows.
00:02:13.060 Right here.
00:02:13.660 Right here.
00:02:14.120 Okay.
00:02:14.880 This.
00:02:16.000 Oh, sorry.
00:02:17.440 Yeah.
00:02:17.660 From here to there, if you look on the right, you point at it and zoom.
00:02:23.220 This is Safa.
00:02:24.580 The reality is, this is a city that never sleeps.
00:02:27.000 And this is a place where people are worshiping 24-7.
00:02:30.800 If you don't worship Allah, it doesn't matter.
00:02:33.360 Allah has people worshiping him all day and all night.
00:02:35.960 Allah does not need you.
00:02:37.460 Allah does not need you.
00:02:38.760 You need Allah.
00:02:39.700 And that's the reality.
00:02:41.440 But go ahead.
00:02:41.820 In Vegas.
00:02:43.420 Alhamdulillah.
00:02:46.060 Barakallah feekum.
00:02:46.920 Allah accepted.
00:02:47.580 But this is something beautiful.
00:02:48.500 If you're not Muslim, look up the hajj.
00:02:50.340 Watch some videos.
00:02:51.220 It's an experience that, I mean, it's amazing.
00:02:54.340 And especially to see humanity come together.
00:02:57.720 It's not like the Vatican where they've got little boys in tights and stuff running around.
00:03:01.660 I mean, Alhamdulillah, you have.
00:03:03.220 Astaghfirullah.
00:03:04.400 Astaghfirullah.
00:03:04.840 Astaghfirullah, man.
00:03:05.260 Yeah.
00:03:05.680 That's the Pope.
00:03:06.540 Not me, bro.
00:03:07.720 He needs a wife.
00:03:10.020 Right?
00:03:10.680 But that's the thing.
00:03:11.400 I'm being honest, bro.
00:03:15.620 You think he doesn't need a wife, man?
00:03:17.440 You think all these priests would be doing this if they got married?
00:03:20.660 Why not get married?
00:03:22.120 I don't know.
00:03:22.480 This is not natural.
00:03:23.800 Look at your Bible.
00:03:25.200 Look at Abraham.
00:03:26.540 Look at Moses.
00:03:27.340 Look at David.
00:03:27.880 They all got married.
00:03:29.060 Yes, Isa ibn Maryam was taken up by Allah at a young age.
00:03:32.760 But even he's going to come back and get married.
00:03:35.080 Allah made a natural way, man.
00:03:37.220 Woman.
00:03:37.820 Not.
00:03:38.540 It's Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve.
00:03:41.720 So.
00:03:44.260 How can the average person watching right now do, how could we support?
00:03:48.240 How could we help?
00:03:48.860 Because they're silencing people.
00:03:50.420 They take you off of Instagram.
00:03:51.680 They shadow ban you.
00:03:52.720 They delete you off of YouTube.
00:03:53.740 What are we supposed to do?
00:03:56.360 First and foremost, when we say a war, a war is fought between countries.
00:04:02.060 A war is fought between armies.
00:04:03.820 A war is not fought when one of the heaviest armed-backed militaries in the world is bombing
00:04:10.620 a civilian population.
00:04:12.680 That's not called a war, right?
00:04:14.420 If they want to fight a war, let them pick a place and bring soldiers out and fight it.
00:04:18.760 That's not it.
00:04:19.280 But if you go and you shall, and you don't, again, as people who may not understand, the
00:04:24.720 people of Gaza can't leave.
00:04:26.560 The borders are closed.
00:04:28.280 They can't just be like, we're going to go to Egypt until the war is over.
00:04:31.620 They can move around within Gaza, but they can't leave Gaza.
00:04:34.960 So you're telling a population you can't leave here, and we're going to bomb you, and you
00:04:39.720 die, you die.
00:04:40.580 And there's children, babies, dying, videos you cannot deny every day.
00:04:46.320 You can see the bombs coming from the planes, hitting, and you can see the babies being
00:04:51.340 pulled out of the rubble, dead.
00:04:52.840 The videos are online.
00:04:54.380 So the first thing you can do, whether you're Muslim, not Muslim, doesn't matter.
00:04:57.880 If you're an honest person, share this.
00:05:00.660 Share this information, because Fox isn't going to tell you this.
00:05:04.100 CNN and BBC is not going to tell you this.
00:05:06.240 But that time is over where they could control that message.
00:05:08.820 Today, because of our brothers, Nico, and other brothers like that out there on social
00:05:12.640 media, letting the world know, letting your voice be heard, that's the first thing.
00:05:17.740 Second thing, know that Arabs are a Semitic people, by the way.
00:05:22.580 So if you criticize Israel, it doesn't mean you're anti-Semitic.
00:05:26.660 When you're criticizing Palestinians who are Arab and Semitic, nobody says you're anti-Semitic.
00:05:31.980 We are not criticizing the Jewish people.
00:05:34.460 When we criticize the actions of the IDF and the Israeli government, there are many Jews
00:05:40.200 out there criticizing what's going on by that.
00:05:42.660 So let your voice be heard.
00:05:44.600 Use your social media to let the world know.
00:05:47.620 And last but not least, we want people to come together and stand up to the powers that
00:05:53.300 be and tell them that we do not believe this is right.
00:05:56.560 Again, we advise our leaders.
00:05:58.500 We advise our imams, our preachers, our rabbis, our community leaders.
00:06:05.960 Advise them.
00:06:06.720 Go and speak to them nicely.
00:06:08.820 We're not calling for bloodshed and killing of government, but we are calling for people
00:06:12.920 to let their voice be heard that we do not believe in this genocide.
00:06:17.960 We believe it should be stopped.
00:06:19.920 We know that Israel as a country doesn't care what anybody thinks.
00:06:25.200 They don't care if they're breaking international law.
00:06:27.500 But how long are we going to allow this to go on with our, for Americans, it's our taxpayer
00:06:33.740 money.
00:06:34.480 If 10 billion, the B of my money is going to buy more bombs to kill children, why wouldn't
00:06:42.920 we as Americans, Muslim, non-Muslim, atheists, doesn't matter, say to our government that
00:06:48.040 look, why don't we use that money to help with the homeless?
00:06:51.000 Why don't we help education?
00:06:52.380 He recognizes Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac.
00:06:55.960 This is a place that from that time has been a place of people coming and visiting as Abraham
00:07:01.720 used to come and visit Ishmael here and perform these rituals.
00:07:05.540 And the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, he showed us these rituals as well, manasik
00:07:09.620 as we call them.
00:07:10.340 And today you see it, alhamdulillah, billions of Muslims around the world want to come here
00:07:16.640 and millions come all the time.
00:07:19.380 This is, as you can see, this is a light night for us because it's midnight, it's not Ramadan,
00:07:26.040 but it's still packed.
00:07:27.500 People from every country of the world, alhamdulillah, we're going to live stream inshallah later
00:07:32.460 in the daytime and show you there will be no place to stand.
00:07:36.180 And inshallah someday with Sneeko and maybe Abdul Wahab and Brother Ahmad, we're going to
00:07:40.060 come here in Ramadan and show you where you won't even be able to set foot down here.
00:07:45.300 And then someday when our brother Sneeko does his first hajj, inshallah, we're going to come.
00:07:49.980 When is hajj?
00:07:50.740 That's in August.
00:07:52.360 Hajj is in Dhul Hijjah, the Islamic months.
00:07:54.140 So they're lunar calendars, so they kind of move.
00:07:56.180 But inshallah, you will never see that many people from that many backgrounds peacefully together.
00:08:09.600 When I went hajj the first time, the estimated was about four million people.
00:08:14.240 Because there's the official count and then there's the Arabs and Bedouins that just take up their tents.
00:08:19.600 Four million people can fit here?
00:08:21.220 No, no, no.
00:08:21.820 This place is packed out.
00:08:23.760 In hajj, you'll be praying all the way out in the middle of the streets.
00:08:28.840 In hajj, you will go to Arafah, you will go to Muzdalifah.
00:08:33.800 And, you know, official counts when two, three million comes.
00:08:37.500 Nobody counts the people that are just from Kuwait and Qatar and Rabbul Khali and they just drive their trucks.
00:08:43.200 And you'll see them in hajj.
00:08:44.360 They'll come with their own tents and they'll set up.
00:08:46.860 So that many people, they can't even communicate.
00:08:49.640 They speak different language, different cultural norms.
00:08:52.320 But being patient for the sake of Allah, doing all these rituals together for the sake of Allah, showing that humanity is one body.
00:09:01.000 It's not about a Korean church.
00:09:03.240 It's not about only Jews who are of the Hebrew race can go to the Wailing Wall.
00:09:07.800 It's not about only Hinduism from the Indian subcontinent.
00:09:12.080 You will see people from, when I went further, I saw people from Finland, from the Djibouti, from places like Papua New Guinea, from Chile.
00:09:19.820 I couldn't imagine there were Muslims in Iceland.
00:09:22.760 But alhamdulillah, they were here performing hajj together.
00:09:25.280 White, black, rich, poor.
00:09:28.220 You could be a billionaire.
00:09:29.780 You can't be flexing your Gucci clothes or your Versace suits.
00:09:33.400 You'll be wearing the same ihram as a broke person that's out there.
00:09:37.520 Inshallah, you see in the humanity being one family.
00:09:43.520 Maryam, the mother of God, according to Christians, she was married to Joseph.
00:09:48.200 So why do nuns not get married?
00:09:50.220 It doesn't make sense.
00:09:51.580 All it is, is the church trying to keep the wealth within themselves.
00:09:55.400 But what it has done, and this is not my opinion, you can go Google priest sex abuse cases around the world, in L.A., in Boston, in the U.K., anywhere in the world.
00:10:05.460 You've made this environment that is unnatural.
00:10:08.760 You have these priests that some of them become priests because they're interested in boys, but some of them may not be.
00:10:15.240 But because they're not able to fulfill their natural desires in the natural way, it becomes a natural disaster by putting them around young children.
00:10:24.600 And then they wonder why these, and they have murders to cover this up.
00:10:28.800 You can look this up.
00:10:29.940 There was a series on Netflix, forgot what it was called, but it was about a nun that got killed in Boston by the Catholic Church.
00:10:39.480 You know, why?
00:10:40.440 Because she knew that the police was involved in covering up rapes by priests.
00:10:45.560 We as Muslims believe that scholars, Imams, should get married naturally.
00:10:49.720 How Allah created us to be, Adam and Eve, man, woman, married, children.
00:10:55.900 That's the way it is, right?
00:10:57.580 Now look, if you want to get more, you can get a second, you can get a third, you can get a fourth.
00:11:02.880 But do it openly.
00:11:04.520 Do it in a proper way, in a halal way.
00:11:10.120 Don't go to Saudi Arabia.
00:11:12.340 It's a pretty controversial subject from what I read.
00:11:16.040 A lot of people have different ideas about the politics and how they're running and the future of the country.
00:11:20.920 Look, Saudi Arabia is a beautiful country.
00:11:22.960 You're here, you see good people.
00:11:25.040 You know, today when we were in Medina, you saw people come and be kind to us.
00:11:29.660 You saw people that gave us prayer rugs, that didn't even know us.
00:11:32.800 It's not because we're famous.
00:11:34.200 People from parts of Saudi Arabia that wouldn't even have heard of anybody.
00:11:37.240 He's humble.
00:11:37.780 He's definitely famous here.
00:11:39.120 In the Muslim world, he definitely is.
00:11:41.240 I'm not known by anybody, man.
00:11:42.480 I'm just here with the cool guys.
00:11:44.340 That's not true.
00:11:44.800 So, you see people that have been very kind.
00:11:49.500 People who are praying and fasting and they give a lot of charity.
00:11:53.960 There's good and bad everywhere.
00:11:55.320 I'm not praising anybody over anybody.
00:11:57.380 There are bad people here.
00:11:58.340 There are good people here.
00:11:59.180 Every government has its own issues, good and bad.
00:12:02.600 Our thing is we want to always give good advice to our leaders to want them to do what's best for the ummah.
00:12:11.840 But criticizing governments is very easy.
00:12:14.140 To sit there and say this government is doing that and this king is doing this and this prime minister and this dictator.
00:12:20.020 But the harm that comes out of bloodshed is worse for the ummah.
00:12:25.400 So rather we say that our advice to our leaders is going to be private.
00:12:29.900 It's going to be for them.
00:12:31.260 We call for the Muslims to be united, to help together, to work as one ummah.
00:12:36.480 I don't care if you're the king of Saudi or the king of Kuwait or the prime minister of this or the president of that.
00:12:41.840 I call everybody, regular people, average joes, muhammads and abdullahs on the street and kings of countries to turn back to the Quran, to always live by the sunnah of al-Mustafa alayhi salatu salam.
00:12:54.680 To be concerned with the ummah, to remember that in the end you will go back to Allah and you will be held accountable.
00:13:01.060 And I pray for the safety and for the blessings and the good life in this world and the hereafter for the whole Muslim ummah.
00:13:09.680 For every Muslim country and every Muslim out there, I wish nothing but good for every non-Muslim, I wish nothing but guidance and good for them.
00:13:20.300 It's a pretty controversial subject from what I read.
00:13:24.100 A lot of people have different ideas about the politics and how they're running and the future of the country.
00:13:29.020 Saudi Arabia is a beautiful country.
00:13:30.900 You're here, you see good people.
00:13:33.680 How, you know, today when we were in Medina, you saw people come and be kind to us.
00:13:37.740 You saw people that gave us prayer rugs, that didn't even know us, that didn't, it's not because we're famous.
00:13:42.280 People that from parts of Saudi Arabia that wouldn't even have heard of anybody.
00:13:45.320 He's humble, he's definitely famous here in the Muslim world, he definitely is.
00:13:49.320 I'm not known by anybody, man.
00:13:50.520 I'm just, I'm just here with the cool guys.
00:13:52.380 That's not true.
00:13:52.880 So, you see people that have been very kind, people that are, people who are praying and fasting and they give a lot of charity.
00:14:02.040 There's good and bad everywhere.
00:14:03.380 I'm not praising anybody over anybody.
00:14:05.480 There are bad people here, there are good people here.
00:14:07.260 Every government has its own issues, good and bad.
00:14:10.660 Our, our thing is we want to always give good advice to our leaders, to want them to do what's best for the ummah.
00:14:18.520 But, criticizing governments is very easy, to sit there and say this government is doing that and this king is doing this and this prime minister and this dictator.
00:14:28.340 But, the harm that comes out of bloodshed is worse for the ummah.
00:14:33.740 So rather we say that our advice to our leaders is going to be private, it's going to be for them.
00:14:39.600 We call for the Muslims to be united, to help together, to work as one ummah.
00:14:44.460 I don't care if you're the king of Saudi or the king of Kuwait or the prime minister of this or the president of that.
00:14:50.580 I call everybody, people, average Joes, Mohammeds and Abdullahs on the street and kings of countries to turn back to the Qur'an,
00:14:59.200 to always live by the sunnah of al-Mustafa alayhi salatu salam, to be concerned with the ummah,
00:15:04.120 to remember that in the end you will go back to Allah and you will be held accountable.
00:15:07.760 And, I pray for the safety and for the blessings and the good life in this world and the hereafter for the whole Muslim ummah.
00:15:17.660 Still going through, I'm not saying he's perfect, I'm not saying I'm perfect.
00:15:21.180 None of us are.
00:15:21.940 None of us are.
00:15:22.920 But, you don't see him drunk in alleyways and you don't see him at rainbow parades and things.
00:15:28.600 Alhamdulillah, Allah has protected him and he's here in Mecca in the best place on earth.
00:15:33.680 He's not, he's not out there drinking and doing drugs, he's having gawah, coffee and dates, you know.
00:15:40.160 So...
00:15:40.480 I want some more, actually.
00:15:41.680 There you go, bro.
00:15:42.780 Moussa, Yusuf, what about you, man?
00:15:44.560 I have a question about Islam that I think people are seeing right now.
00:15:48.720 The Islamic world is more unified than it has been in a while because of what's going on.
00:15:54.040 And I've seen videos, one that really struck me, where a brother in a hospital in Palestine had just lost his brother.
00:16:01.200 And instead of being upset, he was rejoicing.
00:16:04.300 He was celebrating, he said, I was saying, Allahu Akbar, my brother's been martyred.
00:16:07.920 And he was happy that his brother was now with Allah.
00:16:10.600 So, for people watching and wondering, why is it that Muslims who are on their deen, why are they not afraid of dying?
00:16:19.620 As a Muslim, we believe this life is only a stage, a test.
00:16:24.420 Allah says in the Qur'an,
00:16:26.780 Allah says,
00:16:31.520 Allah says,
00:16:35.600 We created death and life to see which one of you puts forth the best of deeds.
00:16:41.780 So, this life is only a test.
00:16:44.080 We're not attached to this life.
00:16:46.720 Nobody wants to see their family members dead.
00:16:48.700 No, everybody is... it hurts.
00:16:50.660 But as Muslims, we know, we have a comfort in knowing that it's not the end.
00:16:56.340 That this person who died, an innocent person that's killed under the rubble of a building, even though he didn't do anything wrong,
00:17:04.560 we know that Allah is just, and Allah is loving, and Allah is forgiving, and Allah is merciful.
00:17:09.940 Allah will enter this person into paradise.
00:17:12.600 And if you make it to paradise, then what else is there?
00:17:15.800 How long are you going to live?
00:17:16.800 I have a question about Islam that I think people are seeing right now.
00:17:21.960 The Islamic world is more unified than it has been in a while because of what's going on.
00:17:27.060 And I've seen videos, one that really struck me, where a brother in a hospital in Palestine had just lost his brother.
00:17:34.760 And instead of being upset, he was rejoicing.
00:17:37.520 He was celebrating.
00:17:38.300 He said, I was saying, Allahu Akbar, my brother's been martyred.
00:17:41.160 And he was happy that his brother was now with Allah.
00:17:43.660 So, for people watching and wondering, why is it that Muslims who are on their deen, why are they not afraid of dying?
00:17:52.900 As a Muslim, we believe this life is only a stage, a test.
00:17:58.360 Allah says in the Quran,
00:17:59.980 Allah says,
00:18:02.320 Allah says,
00:18:06.900 We created death and life to see which one of you puts forth the best of deeds.
00:18:15.040 So, this life is only a test.
00:18:17.320 We're not attached to this life.
00:18:19.960 Nobody wants to see their family members dead.
00:18:21.940 No, everybody is, it hurts.
00:18:23.900 But as Muslims, we know, we have a comfort in knowing that it's not the end.
00:18:29.580 That this person who died, an innocent person that's killed under the rubble of a building, even though he didn't do anything wrong.
00:18:37.820 We know that Allah is just and Allah is loving and Allah is forgiving and Allah is merciful.
00:18:43.220 Allah will enter this person into paradise.
00:18:45.800 And if you make it to paradise, then what else is there?
00:18:49.040 How long are you going to live?
00:18:50.820 70 years?
00:18:52.040 80 years?
00:18:53.200 100 years?
00:18:54.020 Then what?
00:18:54.840 How old are you now?
00:18:55.660 How did that life pass?
00:18:58.300 The same way 80 years or 100 years and you don't know if you live to see tomorrow.
00:19:02.500 But in paradise, you live forever.
00:19:05.060 No suffering, no death, no being separated from your family.
00:19:11.360 You will see Allah, you will see your creator, you will see the prophets.
00:19:15.520 You will see your family members that have passed.
00:19:18.040 If you make it to paradise, nothing else matters.
00:19:21.440 80 years?
00:19:22.600 100 years?
00:19:23.320 Then what?
00:19:24.260 How old are you now?
00:19:25.660 How did that life pass?
00:19:27.700 The same way 80 years or 100 years and you don't know if you live to see tomorrow.
00:19:31.900 But in paradise, you live forever.
00:19:34.460 No suffering, no death, no being separated from your family.
00:19:40.760 You will see Allah, you will see your creator, you will see the prophets.
00:19:44.900 You will see your family members that have passed.
00:19:47.440 If you make it to paradise, nothing else matters.
00:19:50.040 So when somebody innocent dies, it hurts us.
00:19:53.680 We're not saying there isn't pain, but we're patient and we have counsel and comfort in the fact that they'll be in paradise.
00:20:00.780 And we ask Allah to protect our brothers in Gaza and everywhere in the world, not just in Gaza, in India and other places where Muslims are being killed.
00:20:09.440 But at the same time, for non-Muslims to see how Muslims are patient because we believe in what we say.
00:20:16.100 I got a question.
00:20:18.660 Righteous spouse, I mean, speak to your family, especially if you're Egyptian.
00:20:23.220 Alhamdulillah, you have family, you have your mother, you have your aunts.
00:20:26.300 See if they know any pious good sisters and try to find a good wife.
00:20:30.540 If you're unable to, speak to your imams, speak to your Muslim leaders and say,
00:20:36.420 Look, if you know of any good pious women, a good family, I'm interested in following the traditional method, go and reach out.
00:20:43.360 And may Allah give you a pious wife.
00:20:44.800 If none of those work, let's say you're in a country where you don't have those access or maybe you don't have family.
00:20:51.080 Alhamdulillah, there are online ways in the halal, not the dating apps, not the getting to know each other, but in the halal way.
00:20:57.600 There are ways you can try to find a good spouse.
00:21:01.160 And last but not least, most importantly, ask Allah.
00:21:04.500 I mean, don't forget to make your dua sincerely and Allah will make a way.
00:21:09.300 Secondly, you can make dua for a spouse?
00:21:11.640 Of course, you should make a, for a pious spouse.
00:21:13.680 I didn't know that.
00:21:14.380 A pious spouse.
00:21:16.260 Allah give you a pious wife.
00:21:17.580 What do you think about?
00:21:18.320 A niqabi.
00:21:20.060 Inshallah.
00:21:20.860 Inshallah.
00:21:21.180 What about dating in general?
00:21:22.660 Should young Muslims even date?
00:21:24.580 No, no.
00:21:24.900 Dating is haram.
00:21:25.700 If dating led to more understanding in marriages, then in the West, the divorce rate wouldn't be higher than 50%.
00:21:37.640 You know, dating, I mean, imagine a woman that's dated 30 guys, you know, or a guy that's dated 30 women.
00:21:44.880 Like, you know, how is that going to, how is that going to be when you have that, I mean, unless they make tawbah, unless they repent, that's different, right?
00:21:52.320 But in Islam, you can get to know each other within boundaries.
00:21:55.440 Meaning, you can speak within boundaries, not alone.
00:21:58.180 You can write.
00:21:58.940 You can say, okay, this is how I want to live.
00:22:00.440 How do you want to live?
00:22:01.920 And traditionally, when the father is there with the girl, you can ask her questions.
00:22:05.700 You can see of her what you need to see, meaning, I mean, you can't see her in a bikini and things, but you can see her face, her hands, her feet, maybe some of the forearms and things.
00:22:15.700 What about her only fans?
00:22:17.680 I don't know what that is.
00:22:18.680 Okay.
00:22:19.560 Absolutely not.
00:22:20.240 I don't know what that is, yeah.
00:22:21.500 It's bikini photos.
00:22:22.980 Yeah, you definitely cannot see bikini.
00:22:24.780 No, no, no.
00:22:25.740 If any woman is putting bikini pictures out there, she's not the one to marry.
00:22:29.840 No?
00:22:30.200 No, no, no.
00:22:30.860 So you don't think that someone should get in a relationship with a girl who's selling bikini photos online?
00:22:35.720 Definitely not.
00:22:36.680 Okay.
00:22:36.920 Yeah, yeah.
00:22:37.340 We don't want that to end up in a never mind.
00:22:39.320 I don't want to get myself in trouble now.
00:22:41.060 Okay.
00:22:41.540 But I think what's important is that if she makes taubah, if she repents and she covers and that was a past, that's fine.
00:22:49.000 But if she's currently selling bikini pictures, then how are you going to be a man when dudes are buying bikini pictures of your wife?
00:22:55.480 Right?
00:22:56.180 That would not be the way to go.
00:22:58.080 Fair.
00:22:58.240 A good Muslim wife who covers herself outside but keeps her beauty for her husband, this is the way to go.
00:23:05.640 Right.
00:23:05.780 Just as a man, I'm not out there selling, you know, pictures of me either.
00:23:09.220 Alhamdulillah, I'm modestly dressed.
00:23:11.180 I'm, you know, I'm not dating, I'm not doing, I'm not drinking.
00:23:14.360 We call upon unity, but unity won't come with people saying, I'm a Shia Muslim and I'm a Qadiani Muslim and I'm an Ahmadi Muslim and I'm an Ismaili Muslim.
00:23:24.320 No, let's take the hyphenations off and say we're just Muslims.
00:23:28.240 We believe in the Quran, the same Quran, we believe in the Prophet, the same Prophet.
00:23:35.900 The Prophet was asked, who is your favorite person, authentic narration?
00:23:39.660 Who is your favorite person on earth?
00:23:41.880 He said, Ayesha.
00:23:42.760 So how can any Muslim not love the mother of the believers, Ayesha?
00:23:48.140 And when they ask what are minarrijal from the men, he said Abuha, her father, Abu Bakr.
00:23:53.780 So we love those sahaba, we love Umar, we love Uthman, we love Ali, we love Hassan, we love Hussain.
00:23:59.820 We love them and we want to unite together upon the Quran and the Sunnah.
00:24:05.380 Peace out.
00:24:08.740 Peace be, Bem, hope for me.
00:24:14.300 Peace.
00:24:14.480 Peace.
00:24:16.840 Peace.
00:24:20.200 Peace.
00:24:20.700 Peace.
00:24:20.900 Peace.
00:24:23.220 Peace.
00:24:27.240 Peace.
00:24:28.160 Peace.
00:24:28.980 Peace.
00:24:29.440 Peace.
00:24:31.300 Peace.
00:24:31.860 Peace.
00:24:32.200 Peace.
00:24:32.420 Peace.
00:24:33.300 Peace.
