00:00:00.000 At the same time, he's growing in terms of knowledge of how to be a better man,
00:00:03.380 how to be more productive, how to just grow in terms of his businesses.
00:00:07.380 And obviously, with that, you may have to leave certain things behind.
00:00:10.420 So one of the things I left behind was the old name.
00:00:12.460 Left behind the UK as well.
00:00:14.060 And now we're here.
00:00:16.140 Why did you make that change, Ron?
00:00:19.340 Specifically, why I left the UK to come here?
00:00:20.760 Yeah.
00:00:21.200 I was sick and tired, bro, of the negativity, the toxicity, also.
00:00:23.780 What was it about the negativity and the toxicity?
00:00:26.240 Bro, in order to thrive, you need to be around an environment that's going to help you thrive, right?
00:00:33.280 So when people are negative, and not only that, specifically in terms of your deen, in terms of your religion, bro,
00:00:39.060 there's negativity in terms of, like, it's just hard for you to practice the deen in the way that you want to.
00:00:44.540 In the way that you want to.
00:00:45.540 Like, I feel like I have the right to worship Allah in the way that he wants me to worship him, right?
00:00:51.240 But living in that country, in that society, in that environment, even if I want to, there's things that are going to pull me back.
00:00:56.240 So that's why I just got up, left, set up shop here.
00:00:58.860 It's been about a year?
00:00:59.920 Oh, 100%.
00:01:00.520 And I saw when we met up with you, you brought your whole, all the mandem.
00:01:04.280 Yeah, the mandem.
00:01:05.380 Like, 10 guys here, they're all going to move here, too?
00:01:07.120 They're all moving here, inshallah.
00:01:08.420 Do you recommend, like, me and Warner get out of the shaitan line?
00:01:10.880 Because the first thing you ask is, like, Warner's around, you know, fentanyl and LGBT people.
00:01:16.420 Do you recommend we just get away and just...
00:01:17.740 Yeah, 100%, bro, 100%.
00:01:18.680 Look, in terms of your religion, being in a country where you can hear the adhan, being in a country where there's...
00:01:24.900 Adhan's a prayer call, right?
00:01:25.840 Right, the prayer call, yeah.
00:01:27.220 Being in a country where you've got a mosque on every corner, where you've got brothers, people that have the same religion as you,
00:01:32.820 they've got the same manners, the same mindset, that's beneficial in and within itself.
00:01:37.020 But even if a person wanted to look at it from the angle of just, like, the material element of it,
00:01:42.620 I can't speak for the US, but in the UK, bro, the houses are small, houses are tiny, tax rate is high,
00:01:48.720 there's drug dealers on every corner.
00:01:50.120 What's the tax rate here?
00:01:51.940 Oh, there's zero tax, right?
00:01:53.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:01:53.220 Income tax.
00:01:53.880 Income tax, zero.
00:01:54.780 Some corporation tax on VET.
00:01:56.120 Like, 5%?
00:01:57.120 Compared to the West, bro, it's nothing.
00:02:00.400 What are you paying in taxes, like, roughly?
00:02:02.020 I don't know if you want to talk about it.
00:02:03.140 Zero, zero.
00:02:03.560 No, zero.
00:02:04.360 Pay nothing?
00:02:05.060 Yeah, can't be enough to pay.
00:02:06.500 We should come out here, bro.
00:02:07.540 But that's what I'm saying, bro, people don't understand.
00:02:13.800 Like, in the UK, people scream, bro, we've got the NHS, right?
00:02:18.020 It's free, so, like, healthcare is free.
00:02:20.820 But, bro, it's not free, because you're paying tax.
00:02:22.600 And it's also rubbish.
00:02:24.560 The quality is poor.
00:02:25.740 And then I'm raising my kids, but there's a drug dealer that lives next door to me.
00:02:29.600 Do you understand?
00:02:30.400 So when I'm at work, who's...
00:02:32.680 My kid's coming in and out the house, and he's seeing drug dealers, he's seeing crackheads.
00:02:36.360 And, by the way, I'm talking about the nice areas.
00:02:38.760 In the nice, like, London is like that.
00:02:40.480 You'll be in one area where it's, like, the famous area, the issue on TV.
00:02:44.000 You turn a corner, you're on a block now.
00:02:45.580 You're on an estate.
00:02:46.180 You guys might call it a project.
00:02:48.020 And, bro, it's just nasty, bro.
00:02:49.980 Yeah, it's just...
00:02:51.480 Like, you've seen it, right?
00:02:52.960 You guys tell me.
00:02:53.700 How have you found it here compared to the US?
00:02:55.580 The people that you've met, how are they?
00:02:56.840 I think the number one indicator of success here is the fact that there's no crime,
00:03:01.440 but you also don't see any police officers.
00:03:02.960 That everybody knows not to act that way because it's the threat of,
00:03:06.860 if I do too much, I'm just going to end up in a black SUV.
00:03:10.120 Right, but it's not even that.
00:03:11.880 What's your relationship like with police in the US?
00:03:15.200 If you see a police officer, how do you feel?
00:03:16.980 Scared.
00:03:17.940 Okay, here, you don't...
00:03:18.840 Well, I mean, it depends.
00:03:19.780 If I see a police officer?
00:03:20.700 It depends.
00:03:21.540 As-salamu alaykum.
00:03:22.760 It's a dua.
00:03:23.440 I prayed for him.
00:03:24.560 He prays back.
00:03:25.280 Wa alaykum as-salam.
00:03:26.680 He says, may peace be upon you.
00:03:28.160 Yeah.
00:03:28.840 That's it.
00:03:29.540 A police officer, when I see my interaction with a police officer here,
00:03:32.500 it's prayer.
00:03:33.740 Like, just like any akh, I'll be praying in the masjid,
00:03:36.620 and there's a police officer next to me.
00:03:37.640 The cop is an akh.
00:03:38.840 Is it what, sorry?
00:03:39.480 He's an akhi.
00:03:40.660 He's an akhi.
00:03:41.060 Yeah, he's an akhi.
00:03:41.620 The cop is an akhi.
00:03:42.600 My American accent.
00:03:43.360 Like, even right now, the masjid that we prayed at,
00:03:45.240 there was a police officer, right?
00:03:46.480 I didn't see.
00:03:46.860 And, yeah, just before when the salah was on.
00:03:49.280 Because this masjid is in, like, a pretty big area,
00:03:51.940 so people come.
00:03:52.560 They're just there to maintain order, right?
00:03:54.520 So they don't really want kids coming
00:03:56.880 because they create a lot of noise.
00:03:58.440 There's some masjid.
00:03:59.100 They've got special areas for kids.
00:04:00.620 Some masjid, they say, listen,
00:04:02.400 that some mosque, sorry, is for you to focus on your prayer
00:04:05.300 so you don't have to worry about kids.
00:04:06.300 So they facilitate for both, right?
00:04:08.020 Okay, cool.
00:04:08.900 So then the police officer tells me, bro,
00:04:09.980 you can't bring your daughter in here
00:04:10.920 because I'm going to do it with me.
00:04:12.320 And I say to him, bro, please.
00:04:13.940 She's quiet.
00:04:14.540 She won't disturb you.
00:04:16.260 All right, cool.
00:04:16.860 No worries.
00:04:18.040 The police officer.
00:04:19.020 Do you know what I'm saying?
00:04:19.560 They just, they understand.
00:04:21.780 They're more relaxed.
00:04:22.680 They're more easy.
00:04:23.100 But, yeah, if you...
00:04:24.080 It's like your own brothers
00:04:25.020 are looking out for your well-being.
00:04:26.920 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:04:27.420 I don't want to say that I'm scared around cops,
00:04:30.120 but it's immediately like,
00:04:30.800 oh, how am I breaking the law?
00:04:32.040 You feel anxious?
00:04:33.000 Yeah, like, let me put my phone down.
00:04:34.400 Let me make sure my seatbelt's good.
00:04:35.620 Anytime I'm driving in the UK
00:04:36.600 and the police officer,
00:04:37.320 I'm always stressed.
00:04:38.180 Why are you behind me, bro?
00:04:39.520 I will slow down, let him go past.
00:04:41.660 It's not like that here
00:04:42.480 because there is...
00:04:44.480 Look, not all Muslim countries
00:04:46.040 are you going to find complete sense of justice.
00:04:48.040 Not all Muslim countries
00:04:48.740 are you going to find
00:04:49.320 that you're going to be able to get on with the...
00:04:51.400 I mean, not get on with the police,
00:04:52.580 but you're not going to feel, like, threatened or harmed.
00:04:54.360 But one of the reasons
00:04:55.320 I love just being around Muslims
00:04:58.720 is because, bro, like, we understand each other.
00:05:01.280 Like, I'll give you an example.
00:05:02.480 One of my teachers who also lives here,
00:05:05.300 he parked in a way that's bad
00:05:07.040 when he was coming to pray in the mosque, right?
00:05:10.100 So he didn't park properly.
00:05:12.000 So the police officer pulled up on him.
00:05:13.380 He's about to give him a fine.
00:05:14.760 He said to me, bro, I'm so sorry.
00:05:15.820 He said to me, the prayer was about to start.
00:05:18.020 I won't do it again.
00:05:19.260 He looked at him.
00:05:21.120 I don't do it again.
00:05:23.040 That's it.
00:05:23.860 Generally, hey, if you look at Salah time,
00:05:25.400 bro, you'll find, bro, there's motorways.
00:05:27.160 Salah being prayer time, right?
00:05:28.280 Lane, yeah, for prayer.
00:05:30.340 An entire lane is just blocked by park pass.
00:05:32.900 And that's normal.
00:05:33.460 No one's going to get a ticket on the motorway.
00:05:35.040 This is a motorway, like, five, six lane away.
00:05:37.300 The lane on the right,
00:05:38.600 you just block the park pass,
00:05:39.600 everyone's going to the masjid.
00:05:40.600 Then they come back.
00:05:41.140 No one's going to get a ticket
00:05:42.300 because they just know
00:05:43.000 that people have that, you know.
00:05:44.680 I heard another story
00:05:45.820 about the Dubai police as well.
00:05:47.840 That, you know, there's people
00:05:48.780 that go for jobs and stuff like that.
00:05:51.180 And, you know, I've heard stories
00:05:52.440 of how the police had water
00:05:53.800 for the citizens who are going for a job
00:05:56.780 and stuff like that.
00:05:57.380 Bro, not just the police.
00:05:58.480 You'll find people do that on a regular day.
00:06:00.440 Like, you know Ramadan,
00:06:01.260 when the fast time is breaking?
00:06:02.700 Well, I've seen people,
00:06:03.440 just normal people pulling up to the traffic light
00:06:04.980 and throwing boxes of food out
00:06:06.840 for people to catch and eat.
00:06:08.440 Because there's actually a hadith
00:06:09.780 of the Prophet,
00:06:10.080 the Prophet mentioned,
00:06:11.860 anyone who breaks someone's fast,
00:06:13.720 he feeds him, so he is...
00:06:15.020 He gets their good deeds.
00:06:16.060 No, not just that.
00:06:17.060 Number one, he gets their good deeds,
00:06:18.160 which are spot on.
00:06:19.200 Number two, he gets his sins forgiven.
00:06:22.200 And number three,
00:06:23.040 he gets his neck freed from the hellfire.
00:06:25.040 Something so small.
00:06:26.240 But you know when the Prophet,
00:06:27.060 when he came to Medina,
00:06:28.740 when he came to Medina,
00:06:29.780 when he came to this new city
00:06:31.560 where he's now going to be the leader,
00:06:33.140 it's going to be under the Islamic rule,
00:06:35.560 he told the people a few commandments.
00:06:37.520 Number one, he said,
00:06:38.080 feed the people.
00:06:41.920 Feed the people that need to be fed.
00:06:44.560 And spread the greeting of Salaam,
00:06:47.040 which is peace, right?
00:06:49.600 And then pray at night when people are sleeping.
00:06:52.160 Do you know what I'm saying?
00:06:52.780 So, that's what we learnt from the Prophet.
00:06:56.220 Do you get me?
00:06:56.700 And it's not just the police.
00:06:57.700 You'll find people.
00:06:58.360 And that's not just here.
00:06:59.260 That's in any Muslim country.
00:07:00.720 I can't say any,
00:07:01.540 but the ones I've been to,
00:07:02.580 Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, here,
00:07:04.340 you'll find that stuff.
00:07:05.000 And by the way,
00:07:06.140 we're not saying by any means
00:07:07.640 that Muslim countries are perfect.
00:07:10.200 Nowhere's perfect.
00:07:11.440 If you have perfection,
00:07:12.720 you've got to go to the moon
00:07:13.440 and set up your own little colony or something.
00:07:15.020 Maybe that might be perfect.
00:07:16.120 Or ultimately wait for Jannah.
00:07:17.700 The point is,
00:07:19.000 the main reason why we moved here,
00:07:20.520 you want somewhere for your family.
00:07:21.880 You want somewhere where you can raise your family
00:07:23.260 in a nice Islamic environment.
00:07:24.500 My son,
00:07:25.180 he hears the adhan wherever he's going.
00:07:27.040 He's around other Muslims,
00:07:27.980 he's giving Salaam.
00:07:28.780 Every time he comes to the building,
00:07:29.960 he's security,
00:07:30.480 they give Salaam,
00:07:31.020 he gives Salaam.
00:07:31.480 He gets excited to give them Salaam.
00:07:33.580 So, just those things
00:07:34.720 that are really important,
00:07:36.000 safety, security,
00:07:36.740 as you mentioned yourself,
00:07:37.740 taxes, alhamdulillah,
00:07:38.740 it all just adds up.
00:07:40.200 And it's only when you go back
00:07:41.660 after having been in a Muslim country
00:07:43.340 for a long period of time
00:07:44.100 that you realize,
00:07:45.540 wow,
00:07:46.020 what a difference.
00:07:48.820 Do you agree with,
00:07:49.700 I just did an interview
00:07:50.460 with Faris al-Hamadi yesterday,
00:07:51.920 and he was saying how
00:07:52.920 in Muslim countries
00:07:53.980 that you're supposed to listen
00:07:54.820 to the ruler,
00:07:56.000 that young,
00:07:56.900 that regular Muslims
00:07:58.020 that we shouldn't boycott,
00:07:58.920 we shouldn't do things like that,
00:07:59.760 we should just
00:08:00.260 pretty much submit to the ruler
00:08:02.360 and let them deal with
00:08:03.520 what they have to deal with.
00:08:06.420 The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
00:08:07.260 made it very clear to us.
00:08:09.040 He said,
00:08:09.720 number one,
00:08:09.980 you don't obey anyone
00:08:11.220 that tells you to disobey Allah.
00:08:13.460 Right?
00:08:14.000 So, we don't submit
00:08:14.840 to anyone other than Allah.
00:08:16.820 We don't submit to anyone
00:08:17.760 other than Allah.
00:08:18.660 Number one.
00:08:19.460 But at the same time,
00:08:20.380 the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
00:08:20.680 told us
00:08:21.260 that we don't
00:08:22.860 go out of our way
00:08:23.840 to create problems
00:08:24.480 with the rulers.
00:08:25.380 The Prophet told us
00:08:26.160 if there's a ruler
00:08:27.040 and let's say
00:08:28.980 he's doing something wrong,
00:08:30.620 can I get through to him?
00:08:32.540 No.
00:08:33.180 But if I start speaking about him,
00:08:34.840 what's he going to do?
00:08:35.800 He's going to clap back, right?
00:08:37.120 When he claps back,
00:08:38.300 it creates problems for us,
00:08:39.800 creates problems
00:08:40.280 for people in general.
00:08:41.900 So,
00:08:42.360 and it also creates
00:08:42.980 corruption and chaos
00:08:44.260 in society,
00:08:44.920 creates anarchy.
00:08:46.120 So,
00:08:46.580 from the lesser
00:08:47.540 of two evils now,
00:08:48.760 is that even if the ruler
00:08:49.660 is making a mistake,
00:08:50.860 if you see him,
00:08:52.640 you can advise him directly,
00:08:54.160 but you don't,
00:08:54.740 go out of your way
00:08:55.580 to criticise him publicly
00:08:56.620 because there's no benefit
00:08:57.280 in that.
00:08:57.720 But at the same time,
00:08:58.900 you don't go out
00:08:59.300 to praise him
00:08:59.960 for his mistake.
00:09:00.860 If he's making a mistake,
00:09:02.020 you don't praise him.
00:09:02.580 There's extremes
00:09:03.100 when it comes to this stuff.
00:09:04.300 Some brothers are just
00:09:04.880 on praising the rulers
00:09:06.180 regardless of the circumstances.
00:09:07.520 My position is this.
00:09:08.960 I'm into politics
00:09:09.880 and I don't like politics
00:09:11.000 and I don't sit here
00:09:12.900 and talk about rulers
00:09:13.700 because there's no benefit.
00:09:16.280 What benefit is there?
00:09:17.380 People who constantly
00:09:18.280 talk about the rulers
00:09:18.880 and they complain about rulers,
00:09:19.940 they don't want accountability.
00:09:21.740 Do you understand?
00:09:22.220 They just want to blame
00:09:22.840 someone else in power.
00:09:23.540 Right, right.
00:09:23.760 And even in the U.S.,
00:09:27.040 some people are blaming
00:09:27.880 Donald Trump,
00:09:28.720 some people are blaming Biden.
00:09:30.180 Well, blame yourself.
00:09:31.160 And this is what Allah
00:09:31.580 teaches in the Quran.
00:09:32.740 Allah said,
00:09:33.220 مَا أَصَابَكَ مِن سَيِّئَةٍ
00:09:35.960 فَمِن نَفْسِكَ
00:09:36.600 Any bad that comes to you
00:09:38.080 is from yourself.
00:09:39.060 مَسْتَ ظَهَرَ الْفَسَادِ
00:09:39.920 Corruption spread in the land and the sea
00:09:43.580 because of what our hands earn.
00:09:45.180 So for me,
00:09:45.740 I like to take charge.
00:09:47.560 I like to take accountability.
00:09:48.900 I'm a ruler in my house.
00:09:50.620 Right?
00:09:50.840 So before I complain about
00:09:51.940 how someone's running the country,
00:09:54.460 how am I running my house?
00:09:55.820 How am I running my company,
00:09:56.940 my business,
00:09:57.400 the brothers are with me.
00:09:58.560 How am I running my relationships?
00:10:00.020 We forget.
00:10:00.700 We're rulers as well.
00:10:02.040 In our own right.
00:10:03.100 But now,
00:10:05.040 let me focus on
00:10:05.800 what I have control over.
00:10:07.800 That's the way I see it.
00:10:08.920 But I'm not with the brothers
00:10:09.880 that are like
00:10:10.320 on the other extreme.
00:10:11.920 Well, we have over control over.
00:10:13.480 We need to control the sound.
00:10:15.140 Is there any like it?
00:10:15.980 But he's saying it's too loud.
00:10:17.080 Is there another place
00:10:17.720 we can go around here?
00:10:22.560 Should we go to the lobby?
00:10:28.100 It's too loud.
00:10:28.920 We can't do it.
00:10:29.560 Okay.
00:10:29.980 There's a cafe.
00:10:30.720 We can go sit in a cafe.
00:10:31.500 Cafe?
00:10:31.820 Yeah, perfect, perfect.
00:10:32.740 Inshallah.
00:10:34.340 But yeah,
00:10:34.760 I'm definitely not with the people
00:10:36.340 that go on the other extreme.
00:10:37.200 Say, submit.
00:10:38.540 Well, then,
00:10:38.980 do you think we should boycott or not?
00:10:41.320 The squad has mentioned.
00:10:42.520 Like, if there's a benefit
00:10:43.460 in boycotting,
00:10:44.280 boycott.
00:10:44.840 I boycott.
00:10:45.760 So, if there's a benefit
00:10:46.400 in boycotting,
00:10:47.620 there's something that
00:10:49.320 the squad has mentioned.
00:10:50.420 Yeah, of course.
00:10:51.320 There's a benefit.
00:10:52.720 Is the cafe far?
00:10:53.780 No, no, no.
00:10:54.300 Just like, literally,
00:10:55.080 less than five grand.
00:10:55.700 Okay, we're flowing.
00:10:56.540 We shouldn't stop.
00:10:57.260 Sure.
00:10:58.320 What's up, chat?
00:11:00.000 What are you guys, spies?
00:11:01.880 For the guys that are watching
00:11:02.800 this right now,
00:11:03.240 I don't know if you can tell,
00:11:03.880 the reason that I'm not live
00:11:04.740 is like,
00:11:05.140 this fasting thing is brutal.
00:11:07.360 I'm just,
00:11:07.700 I'm tired,
00:11:09.540 but we're still working regardless
00:11:10.720 because it doesn't matter
00:11:11.420 how you feel.
00:11:13.960 It doesn't matter
00:11:14.620 how you feel.
00:11:17.120 Yeah, you feel me?
00:11:17.880 Come on, man.
00:11:18.360 Come on, man.
00:11:19.340 When it's like,
00:11:19.860 oh, if you feel tired,
00:11:20.840 you could even,
00:11:21.260 it doesn't matter.
00:11:23.460 Mum look like.
00:11:24.200 You came deep.
00:11:26.920 You're rolling through
00:11:27.560 like a gang.
00:11:30.060 You say this about me
00:11:31.000 all the time, man.
00:11:32.120 Anytime I've brought up somewhere,
00:11:33.080 but it's not me.
00:11:34.020 I'm not inviting them.
00:11:35.280 It's just the brothers,
00:11:35.840 they come.
00:11:36.220 Oh, that is leech?
00:11:36.980 Oh, yeah, we've had
00:11:37.580 that problem too.
00:11:39.300 They're good brothers,
00:11:40.080 mashallah.
00:11:40.460 I'm happy with them being there.
00:11:42.020 It's good leeching.
00:11:42.820 Yeah, but my thing is,
00:11:43.720 I don't,
00:11:44.120 yo, bro,
00:11:44.820 come, ten guys.
00:11:46.160 It's just,
00:11:46.780 we go.
00:11:47.980 We've got brothers coming too,
00:11:49.300 and then everyone just starts
00:11:50.200 working.
00:11:50.400 Yeah.
00:11:50.580 So, I'll meet you there
00:11:53.320 with Abbas, yeah?
00:11:55.600 Salah, Salah, yeah.
00:11:56.880 Inshallah.
00:11:57.360 Hey, you're trying to
00:11:57.960 just go in there with Abbas,
00:11:58.640 bro?
00:11:58.900 I don't want to switch you guys.
00:11:59.940 Nah, bro, we're good, bro.
00:12:00.620 Jump in, jump in.
00:12:01.040 Come on, Moura.
00:12:01.880 Okay, okay, cool.
00:12:02.920 Come on, bro.
00:12:03.440 Can't leave a man.
00:12:03.960 Don't complain.
00:12:04.720 Can't leave a man behind, bro.
00:12:05.960 Come on, bro.
00:12:06.780 I'm saying,
00:12:07.080 I'm a crazy idea.
00:12:07.680 What if you go pack the box?
00:12:09.300 Yeah, don't,
00:12:09.760 I'm going to take a pack of the box.
00:12:10.900 That's off the Qiyam.
00:12:11.980 Okay, okay.
00:12:12.700 You're off the light
00:12:13.160 up the stomach.
00:12:13.600 Okay, so I want to ask him
00:12:16.260 the question,
00:12:16.860 who is Dalaman?
00:12:17.820 Yeah, yeah,
00:12:18.240 let's just ask him, man.
00:12:19.600 Who is Dalaman, bro?
00:12:20.600 Like, how did you come up
00:12:21.300 with the name?
00:12:22.420 Yeah, let's start with that.
00:12:26.600 So, bro,
00:12:27.220 I genuinely believe
00:12:29.120 I'm a superhero.
00:12:31.000 Yeah.
00:12:32.100 Superheroes have powers, right?
00:12:33.200 Mm-hmm.
00:12:33.720 So, I grew up on that whole
00:12:35.120 DC Comics, Marvel.
00:12:37.560 I used to love Batman.
00:12:38.640 The reason I love Batman
00:12:39.300 is because he never actually
00:12:40.240 had some,
00:12:40.800 some, like,
00:12:42.240 supernatural power
00:12:43.120 but he was intelligent.
00:12:45.180 He had money.
00:12:46.360 He had strength.
00:12:47.220 He had skill.
00:12:48.700 So, I was like,
00:12:49.100 okay, cool.
00:12:49.620 So, you can't be a superhero.
00:12:51.020 And by the superheroes
00:12:51.460 help people, right?
00:12:52.200 We help,
00:12:52.760 they help save people
00:12:53.700 from difficult situations.
00:12:56.060 So, I was like,
00:12:56.320 okay, cool.
00:12:56.720 I'm trying to help save people
00:12:57.540 from the hellfire.
00:12:58.600 I'm trying to help save people
00:12:59.660 from the darkness of,
00:13:01.280 you know,
00:13:01.580 depression and sadness
00:13:02.480 that exists
00:13:03.640 when you're distant from Allah.
00:13:05.000 Mm-hmm.
00:13:05.940 And then,
00:13:06.840 at the same time,
00:13:07.420 I have the superpower.
00:13:08.480 I have the Quran.
00:13:09.360 MashaAllah.
00:13:09.940 Yeah, the speech of Allah.
00:13:11.260 Yeah, bro.
00:13:12.200 Like, bro,
00:13:12.500 should I tell you something crazy?
00:13:13.600 Yeah.
00:13:13.960 Actually, I was doing a...
00:13:17.840 No, no,
00:13:18.320 we'll reveal more.
00:13:19.800 We'll leave a little suspense there.
00:13:21.420 We'll reveal more.
00:13:22.040 No, tell me.
00:13:22.580 I want to know now.
00:13:23.480 Okay.
00:13:23.660 You already built the suspense, bro.
00:13:25.360 Okay, okay.
00:13:25.940 So, bro,
00:13:26.680 there's not a single du'a
00:13:27.880 I ever made in my life
00:13:28.860 except for came true.
00:13:29.980 MashaAllah.
00:13:30.460 And that's not because
00:13:31.460 I'm extra pious or righteous.
00:13:33.320 I know my sins
00:13:33.900 and I know my soul.
00:13:35.060 Like, I make du'a to Allah
00:13:35.960 with certainty
00:13:36.500 and I'm patient.
00:13:37.840 I make du'a
00:13:38.380 over a long period of time.
00:13:40.240 If I'm asking,
00:13:41.080 I might ask for something
00:13:41.740 for 10 years.
00:13:42.760 After 10 years,
00:13:44.420 it will come true.
00:13:45.520 Can you make du'a
00:13:46.060 that I get my Instagram on, Ben?
00:13:47.400 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:13:47.840 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%.
00:13:48.900 I've been trying
00:13:49.720 and it's been a week, you know.
00:13:51.100 100%,
00:13:51.480 but your du'a
00:13:51.940 is going to be stronger than mine.
00:13:52.800 You know that, right?
00:13:53.260 Why do you say that?
00:13:53.980 Because your connection
00:13:55.020 for yourself
00:13:55.600 is going to be greater
00:13:56.240 than mine for you.
00:13:56.920 I'll make du'a for you,
00:13:58.160 no problem.
00:13:58.740 But that's what I'm saying.
00:13:59.620 That's the beauty of this deen.
00:14:00.880 You don't need no man
00:14:01.700 to get to God.
00:14:02.800 You don't need
00:14:03.800 son of God to die
00:14:04.920 for you to be saved,
00:14:06.080 for you to go to paradise.
00:14:07.160 But you go to God directly.
00:14:08.960 Allah said,
00:14:09.340 If my slave asks about me,
00:14:12.420 I'm close.
00:14:14.620 And I respond to his call
00:14:16.020 whenever he calls.
00:14:17.160 Allah didn't say,
00:14:17.820 I respond to the call
00:14:18.480 of the righteous one.
00:14:19.460 He didn't say,
00:14:19.740 I respond to the call
00:14:20.340 of the man or the woman.
00:14:21.480 He said,
00:14:21.600 I respond to the call
00:14:22.280 of the one who calls.
00:14:23.420 So you can be man,
00:14:23.980 you can be woman,
00:14:24.400 you can be poor,
00:14:25.400 you can be whatever.
00:14:26.060 So as long as you're
00:14:27.280 trying to get close to Allah
00:14:28.220 in some capacity
00:14:29.220 and you call out to him,
00:14:29.980 he responds.
00:14:31.120 So yeah,
00:14:31.660 for me like,
00:14:32.920 bro,
00:14:33.220 I will,
00:14:34.280 I will,
00:14:34.900 like,
00:14:35.840 I believe I'm,
00:14:36.520 in that regard,
00:14:37.240 I'm a superhero.
00:14:38.400 And at the same time,
00:14:39.120 I'm trying to help people.
00:14:39.780 So how'd you come up
00:14:40.620 with the name Dawah, man?
00:14:41.480 It just like,
00:14:42.020 it just popped up?
00:14:42.880 Dawah, man.
00:14:45.720 I'm doing Dawah
00:14:46.560 and I'm a man.
00:14:47.880 Okay.
00:14:48.680 Nice, nice.
00:14:49.300 So what was your first experience
00:14:51.080 doing Dawah?
00:14:53.260 Can you recall the first experience
00:14:54.640 you've ever had doing Dawah?
00:14:55.760 Yeah,
00:14:56.020 but I was in my,
00:14:56.580 I was in university,
00:14:57.560 right?
00:14:58.200 In uni.
00:14:58.880 In uni, yeah.
00:15:00.060 So I'll,
00:15:00.820 I'll break it down to you this way.
00:15:03.060 So I was going to go see
00:15:03.700 one of my friends.
00:15:04.780 He's a Christian.
00:15:05.420 I hadn't seen him for a while.
00:15:06.640 So when I started practicing,
00:15:08.040 I hadn't seen him for a while.
00:15:08.880 So now,
00:15:10.020 as I'm going to go see him,
00:15:11.020 one of the brothers goes to me,
00:15:11.880 oh,
00:15:12.240 who are you going to go see?
00:15:13.100 I'm going to go link up
00:15:13.900 with one of my boys.
00:15:14.980 He said,
00:15:15.200 okay,
00:15:15.400 cool.
00:15:15.980 So this,
00:15:16.360 this,
00:15:16.640 this,
00:15:16.840 this,
00:15:17.120 is he a Muslim?
00:15:17.980 I said,
00:15:18.320 no.
00:15:19.100 He said,
00:15:19.500 okay,
00:15:19.680 cool.
00:15:25.760 What do you mean?
00:15:27.280 He said,
00:15:27.560 bro,
00:15:27.740 if you know he's going to burn in hell
00:15:29.380 if he doesn't come to Islam,
00:15:31.200 you have not tried to share
00:15:32.960 the message of Islam with him.
00:15:34.440 So,
00:15:35.680 you're not a good friend.
00:15:37.000 So,
00:15:37.160 look,
00:15:37.580 if I was in trouble right now,
00:15:38.920 if I was in trouble,
00:15:39.600 I'll expect you as my,
00:15:40.660 as,
00:15:40.800 as a brother,
00:15:41.780 who now I've become a queen to you,
00:15:43.060 inshallah,
00:15:43.340 we're going to be friends.
00:15:44.200 If you care about me,
00:15:45.320 if you see me fall into a,
00:15:46.280 into a pit of fire,
00:15:47.140 you're going to hold me back,
00:15:47.880 say,
00:15:48.020 bro,
00:15:48.240 what are you doing?
00:15:48.920 Of course.
00:15:49.400 Especially if you're a true friend.
00:15:50.320 Right,
00:15:50.700 if you're a true friend.
00:15:51.360 And,
00:15:51.640 and here's the thing,
00:15:52.560 bro,
00:15:53.080 that we,
00:15:53.740 we identify good friends
00:15:56.460 on wrong metrics.
00:15:59.040 Bro,
00:15:59.380 a good friend is not someone
00:16:00.220 that's going to like me,
00:16:01.580 you know,
00:16:02.400 some weed,
00:16:03.920 or roll me some weed.
00:16:04.680 A good friend is not one
00:16:05.360 who's going to say,
00:16:06.180 bro,
00:16:06.360 look,
00:16:06.500 here's a girl.
00:16:07.140 You know how a good friend is?
00:16:08.300 He's going to bring your wife.
00:16:09.940 A princess.
00:16:10.740 Yeah,
00:16:10.980 maybe,
00:16:11.340 two,
00:16:11.560 three.
00:16:12.240 Or four.
00:16:12.940 Or four,
00:16:13.420 man.
00:16:13.720 You know what I'm saying?
00:16:14.160 That's a great friend.
00:16:14.740 He's going to do it halal.
00:16:15.540 And then when he sees you going
00:16:16.280 the wrong way,
00:16:16.920 he's going to say,
00:16:17.240 bro,
00:16:17.480 you're going the wrong way.
00:16:21.360 It's the real life,
00:16:21.980 bro.
00:16:22.000 That's eternity.
00:16:22.700 Do you know what I'm saying?
00:16:23.120 So when he said that to me,
00:16:24.240 I said,
00:16:24.460 okay,
00:16:24.640 cool.
00:16:24.820 So I have to go give my,
00:16:25.600 that friend down.
00:16:26.300 I can't lie,
00:16:26.840 I just took it.
00:16:27.560 I just was given down in the,
00:16:29.000 in the uni,
00:16:29.520 bro.
00:16:29.680 Like I just had all the people around me.
00:16:31.980 And you can see my style is a little bit unconventional.
00:16:34.000 In a sense where I like to relate to the youth.
00:16:36.580 I consider myself one of the youth myself.
00:16:38.860 So I like to make things easy.
00:16:40.360 I love what you said.
00:16:41.120 You said,
00:16:41.400 I love to package the Dean in a way where it's like,
00:16:44.220 bro.
00:16:44.540 It's digestible.
00:16:45.340 Yeah.
00:16:45.780 Not just digestible,
00:16:46.740 bro.
00:16:46.880 You have to love it because it's the truth.
00:16:49.300 And the truth is beautiful.
00:16:50.060 Do you understand?
00:16:50.840 So how are you going to say no?
00:16:52.480 So I remember when I started speaking,
00:16:53.680 people just coming around.
00:16:54.880 I'm just vibing,
00:16:55.560 just letting people know,
00:16:57.160 yo,
00:16:57.280 let's pray.
00:16:57.800 Let's do this.
00:16:58.300 Let's do that.
00:16:58.840 So that's how we started off,
00:16:59.720 man.
00:16:59.820 And the rest is history,
00:17:00.640 you know?
00:17:01.080 And I noticed you're very passionate about the dawah as well.
00:17:03.400 Where did that passion come from?
00:17:05.600 Bro,
00:17:05.960 you know,
00:17:06.200 it's come from Allah,
00:17:06.860 bro.
00:17:07.700 Yeah,
00:17:07.860 it comes from Allah.
00:17:08.660 I just,
00:17:09.820 it comes from Allah.
00:17:10.940 Obviously the way my dad raised me,
00:17:12.680 it comes from,
00:17:13.260 it comes from the fact that I can't,
00:17:15.360 I'll be honest with you,
00:17:16.780 it breaks my heart when I see people in a bad place.
00:17:19.460 I'll tell you a story.
00:17:20.760 So one time,
00:17:21.960 I was,
00:17:22.540 I was going to pray Fajr in the masjid,
00:17:26.420 and I saw this girl,
00:17:27.760 and you can tell she's a Muslim girl,
00:17:29.660 and she looked like she just,
00:17:30.480 she looked,
00:17:31.480 as in,
00:17:32.020 remember Fajr times in the morning,
00:17:33.100 right at 5am?
00:17:34.540 So as I'm going to the masjid,
00:17:36.220 she's just coming out of the club.
00:17:38.940 Stuff,
00:17:39.320 so it was this moment where,
00:17:41.720 I could tell she felt embarrassed,
00:17:43.180 and I felt sad for her,
00:17:45.980 and it broke my heart,
00:17:47.660 and it affected me,
00:17:48.240 and I remember I went to the masjid,
00:17:49.280 and I,
00:17:49.340 Did you get her number?
00:17:50.160 No,
00:17:50.400 no,
00:17:50.480 no,
00:17:50.620 no,
00:17:50.760 no,
00:17:51.200 no,
00:17:51.320 no,
00:17:51.480 no,
00:17:52.020 no,
00:17:53.980 I didn't,
00:17:54.540 I didn't even like look,
00:17:55.460 it was,
00:17:55.760 I wasn't trying to even look at her,
00:17:56.760 but you know,
00:17:57.020 I have my peripheral vision,
00:17:57.840 you have to lower your gaze,
00:17:58.520 right?
00:17:59.100 So I see this,
00:17:59.680 I see this stuff.
00:18:00.500 You know,
00:18:00.680 it's funny,
00:18:00.980 they always tell me to lower my gaze,
00:18:02.100 and I look right at them,
00:18:03.000 you know what I'm saying?
00:18:04.100 No,
00:18:04.340 no,
00:18:04.360 because I'm tall,
00:18:05.580 you know what I mean?
00:18:13.180 It's packed up.
00:18:15.260 Remove your gaze,
00:18:15.940 and then Warner,
00:18:16.360 we got to kill the gaze.
00:18:18.320 But,
00:18:18.860 you know,
00:18:19.060 you know the lowering the gaze thing's important though,
00:18:20.600 I'll tell you why.
00:18:21.560 Because your eyes,
00:18:22.980 and your ears are the gateway to your heart.
00:18:25.220 So bro,
00:18:25.740 if I'm,
00:18:26.260 why do you think people are turning gay nowadays?
00:18:28.000 Why do you think they become,
00:18:29.080 they're getting onto this LGBT thing?
00:18:30.880 Bro,
00:18:31.000 it's because of the things that they watch,
00:18:32.340 and it corrupts their natural disposition,
00:18:34.200 it corrupts their fetra,
00:18:35.440 like,
00:18:36.300 I'll give you an example,
00:18:37.120 yeah?
00:18:37.260 You see me,
00:18:38.040 but I'm not from the streets,
00:18:38.960 I never,
00:18:39.300 I was never like raised in the streets.
00:18:40.580 You sound like it.
00:18:41.480 No,
00:18:41.640 that's all I'm about to break it down to.
00:18:43.420 I'm not from the streets,
00:18:44.460 bro,
00:18:44.540 I'm a Pakistani kid,
00:18:45.800 my dad loves me,
00:18:46.740 my mom loves me,
00:18:47.540 I was raised in a house,
00:18:48.820 where,
00:18:49.260 you know,
00:18:49.460 we used to eat curry, bro.
00:18:50.500 Kind of like Hamza.
00:18:52.200 Possibly.
00:18:52.700 I'm not sure of his background,
00:18:53.780 but,
00:18:54.220 but me,
00:18:54.640 I'm a,
00:18:54.960 I'm,
00:18:55.160 I'm,
00:18:55.460 I come from a,
00:18:56.120 I come from a good background.
00:18:57.140 You know what messes me up, bro?
00:18:58.520 Music.
00:18:59.520 I started listening to the music,
00:19:01.380 and I,
00:19:01.660 and I grew up on that 2Pac,
00:19:03.440 the NWA,
00:19:04.940 you know what I'm saying?
00:19:06.040 That type of stuff.
00:19:07.160 Thanks to rap,
00:19:07.920 maybe do it.
00:19:08.780 So,
00:19:08.940 literally, bro,
00:19:10.500 literally,
00:19:11.020 no,
00:19:11.220 it's not even a joke,
00:19:12.020 it actually did.
00:19:13.100 So,
00:19:13.460 now this little kid,
00:19:14.440 this kid is from a good place,
00:19:15.840 good background,
00:19:16.660 good household,
00:19:17.800 what's he doing now?
00:19:18.800 He's carrying a knife.
00:19:19.720 What's he doing now?
00:19:20.940 He's got a gun.
00:19:21.860 What's he doing now?
00:19:22.680 He's hanging around with some,
00:19:24.500 people on the streets that he's sharing.
00:19:26.120 But he's hanging around with him.
00:19:27.440 Bro,
00:19:27.640 music,
00:19:28.320 will corrupt my mind,
00:19:29.500 and then it will make a guy,
00:19:30.680 who's from the suburbs,
00:19:31.900 who's a good kid,
00:19:33.340 end up in jail,
00:19:34.280 carrying a knife,
00:19:35.120 murder someone,
00:19:35.880 get murdered,
00:19:36.820 so that's because I didn't protect my ears.
00:19:38.880 Likewise,
00:19:39.360 my eyes,
00:19:39.820 bro.
00:19:40.200 All these guys watching pornography now,
00:19:42.220 why did you,
00:19:42.660 bro,
00:19:42.960 you have to,
00:19:43.400 you know,
00:19:44.240 one brother,
00:19:45.060 Mahdi,
00:19:45.400 you heard of Mahdi Tijani?
00:19:46.760 No,
00:19:47.080 was there?
00:19:47.640 I'm familiar with the brother.
00:19:48.480 Yeah,
00:19:48.700 you might want to link up with him,
00:19:51.040 you'll have a good conversation,
00:19:52.020 inshallah.
00:19:52.180 Okay.
00:19:52.200 So anyway,
00:19:54.420 he said something deep.
00:19:55.540 He said,
00:19:56.820 if you watch porn,
00:19:57.900 you watch a lot of porn,
00:19:59.160 you're going to have homosexual tendencies.
00:20:00.860 Because a huge part of your arousal
00:20:02.820 is connected to another man's genitals
00:20:04.840 being inserted into this woman.
00:20:08.420 When you look at that on screen,
00:20:11.160 the arousal is not just the woman,
00:20:13.220 it's what's taking place,
00:20:14.500 the whole thing.
00:20:15.360 Yeah.
00:20:15.740 So your arousal is,
00:20:16.960 so your arousal is connected to another man.
00:20:21.500 That's gay,
00:20:22.140 bro.
00:20:22.500 Dude,
00:20:22.740 that's so crazy.
00:20:23.280 That's gay,
00:20:23.660 bro,
00:20:23.760 you understand,
00:20:24.060 that's gay,
00:20:24.520 bro.
00:20:24.760 That's actually very crazy,
00:20:25.880 because have you ever seen the movie Superbad?
00:20:28.720 I haven't known.
00:20:29.600 You know the movie Superbad?
00:20:31.520 You know what I'm talking about?
00:20:32.800 Of course I do,
00:20:33.300 yeah.
00:20:33.480 Yeah,
00:20:33.680 yeah,
00:20:33.780 so Superbad,
00:20:34.580 Zionist movie.
00:20:34.780 He said that,
00:20:35.200 he said that,
00:20:35.780 it's like,
00:20:35.940 hey,
00:20:36.440 you know,
00:20:36.700 they were looking at,
00:20:37.520 there was like a porno magazine,
00:20:38.880 right?
00:20:39.440 And he's like,
00:20:39.780 hey man,
00:20:40.300 it's not fun unless there's something inside of her.
00:20:43.080 You know what I'm saying?
00:20:43.580 And then it made me think like,
00:20:44.600 wow,
00:20:45.280 are people really aroused by the man and the woman?
00:20:47.760 Not just by the woman alone.
00:20:49.020 And then they wonder why they turned gay.
00:20:50.660 Like,
00:20:50.840 for example,
00:20:51.320 what's that,
00:20:51.620 what's that,
00:20:51.900 what's that guy you guys have from California?
00:20:54.340 Boy George or something?
00:20:56.020 That singer,
00:20:56.660 he became gay.
00:20:58.080 There's a lot of them.
00:20:58.980 Right,
00:20:59.160 there's a lot of them.
00:20:59.780 Right,
00:20:59.960 so they asked him,
00:21:00.840 he's famous from the 80s,
00:21:02.040 90s,
00:21:02.400 they asked him,
00:21:02.920 they said,
00:21:03.000 bro,
00:21:03.100 why'd you turn gay?
00:21:03.900 Because you can have any woman you want.
00:21:05.300 So I got border women.
00:21:07.220 Stuff.
00:21:07.500 I'm going to try something new.
00:21:08.960 So my point is,
00:21:09.480 when you watch porn,
00:21:10.240 you're going to keep having to go and desensitize stuff more and more.
00:21:12.820 Right,
00:21:12.880 right,
00:21:13.000 right,
00:21:13.100 so you got to watch your eyes.
00:21:14.140 Then you're watching horses and pigs and donkeys and,
00:21:16.760 right,
00:21:16.780 right,
00:21:16.900 right,
00:21:17.220 bro,
00:21:17.500 so that's,
00:21:18.240 my point is,
00:21:19.860 there's no,
00:21:20.840 there's no limit to the human mind,
00:21:23.200 you know,
00:21:23.340 if you want to let it loose.
00:21:24.220 So you have to protect your mind.
00:21:25.180 Where do you draw the line?
00:21:27.100 You have to draw the line and just say,
00:21:28.740 this,
00:21:28.920 all of it's bad.
00:21:29.900 There's no,
00:21:30.300 there's no right amount of porn and it's all bad.
00:21:32.500 Of course,
00:21:32.920 yeah,
00:21:33.180 of course.
00:21:34.080 Bro,
00:21:37.500 these guys are themselves watching it,
00:21:40.160 realizing,
00:21:40.640 bro,
00:21:40.760 it didn't get us nowhere.
00:21:42.220 Do you know what I'm saying?
00:21:42.960 Well,
00:21:43.200 you know what changed my mind about porn?
00:21:45.040 Go for it.
00:21:45.460 When I found out that Israel used it as a tool of warfare against the Palestinians in 2002.
00:21:50.960 In 2002,
00:21:51.840 What?
00:21:52.360 Israel hijacked Palestinian TVs and guess what the first thing they broadcasted was.
00:21:57.160 It wasn't war propaganda,
00:21:58.440 it wasn't anything to make Palestinians seem,
00:22:00.540 they showed porn.
00:22:01.380 Is that true?
00:22:01.880 Because they knew that it was going to corrupt their mind,
00:22:03.400 it was going to take them off their dean.
00:22:04.520 It was going to weaken them.
00:22:05.320 Bro,
00:22:05.500 that was 2002.
00:22:06.900 But you know,
00:22:07.620 as a general concept,
00:22:08.560 people need to understand is that what will send you off your,
00:22:13.040 if you're a man,
00:22:14.240 what will send you off your center and distract you from your goal is a woman.
00:22:18.560 Just generally.
00:22:19.780 Do you understand?
00:22:20.120 So you have to protect yourself.
00:22:21.560 And I don't mean that to put women down.
00:22:23.320 So don't get married.
00:22:24.240 No,
00:22:24.680 no,
00:22:24.780 no,
00:22:24.880 no,
00:22:24.920 no,
00:22:25.040 I'm just kidding.
00:22:25.780 No,
00:22:25.980 my point is get married.
00:22:27.580 But here's the thing.
00:22:28.220 A bad woman can completely corrupt an entire empire.
00:22:31.520 Not just a bad woman,
00:22:32.080 but if a man's obsessed with women,
00:22:33.900 he can't grow,
00:22:34.620 he can't focus.
00:22:35.960 Bro,
00:22:36.180 he's a simp.
00:22:37.720 You know what I'm saying?
00:22:38.220 A man can't focus when all he's just thinking about is women.
00:22:41.020 That's why,
00:22:41.460 that's why controlling the desires.
00:22:43.320 That's why we fast.
00:22:44.300 Why do we fast?
00:22:45.320 To control your hunger,
00:22:46.320 control your addiction to food.
00:22:47.620 What's the benefit?
00:22:48.720 Mental strength.
00:22:50.520 Resistance.
00:22:50.960 To train yourself,
00:22:52.280 to train your impulses,
00:22:54.080 to train your desires,
00:22:55.520 bro.
00:22:55.640 So for me,
00:22:56.620 I know that I can't now be intimate with my wife during the time I'm fasting.
00:23:01.880 And she's my wife.
00:23:02.900 Then surely I can protect and control myself from being intimate with a woman who I'm not even married to.
00:23:08.020 If I know that I can protect myself from eating food,
00:23:12.620 which is halal during the fasting hours,
00:23:14.320 then I'm training myself to protect myself from eating,
00:23:17.600 which is haram.
00:23:18.820 So you can't tell me,
00:23:19.920 listen,
00:23:20.160 bro,
00:23:20.520 I can't stay away from drugs.
00:23:22.420 I can't stay away from cigarettes.
00:23:23.400 Bro,
00:23:23.500 you do it in the fasting hours.
00:23:25.120 So then,
00:23:25.940 let's just stretch that a little bit more.
00:23:27.580 And Ramadan is a training ground,
00:23:29.140 right?
00:23:29.400 So,
00:23:29.880 it's to get your impulses in check.
00:23:32.420 It's to get your desires in check.
00:23:34.400 It's to get your mind in check.
00:23:36.640 To show you,
00:23:37.720 you can control this stuff.
00:23:39.040 So that when Allah wants you to do something,
00:23:42.640 you can do it.
00:23:43.460 Alhamdulillah.
00:23:44.140 You know what I'm saying?
00:23:44.520 You can do it.
00:23:45.000 Let's go.
00:23:45.320 When did you notice you were good at Dawa?
00:23:47.760 Like,
00:23:47.960 when was that moment of realization?
00:23:50.900 That's not...
00:23:51.480 You like the question?
00:23:53.440 Yeah,
00:23:53.820 you're killing him,
00:23:54.580 right?
00:23:54.980 Because you're going to be next to the camera,
00:23:56.440 which means you'll be outside the shop.
00:24:00.240 You got me thinking in the car,
00:24:01.320 like,
00:24:01.480 what if me and one have started a podcast,
00:24:02.980 like,
00:24:03.440 halal and fit,
00:24:04.720 you know?
00:24:06.200 Fresh and fit,
00:24:06.900 no.
00:24:07.840 I didn't want to interrupt you.
00:24:08.900 You were answering the question.
00:24:09.740 You're good,
00:24:09.880 you're good,
00:24:10.140 you're good.
00:24:10.680 So yeah,
00:24:11.020 to answer your question,
00:24:11.800 bro,
00:24:12.500 it's a...
00:24:13.520 You were explaining,
00:24:14.120 like,
00:24:14.300 what is Dawa?
00:24:14.940 Yeah,
00:24:15.160 what is Dawa?
00:24:15.800 So,
00:24:16.060 so Dawa
00:24:16.780 is
00:24:18.400 calling to Allah,
00:24:21.440 but it has to be done with knowledge.
00:24:23.840 Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
00:24:25.340 Allah said in the Quran,
00:24:26.060 say to him,
00:24:28.980 this is my path,
00:24:35.780 the path of Da'wah.
00:24:37.360 I call to Allah,
00:24:38.180 give Da'wah to Allah,
00:24:39.000 on the knowledge.
00:24:41.280 So,
00:24:42.120 Da'wah can't be done without knowledge.
00:24:43.440 Now,
00:24:43.580 some people will tell you,
00:24:44.600 oh,
00:24:44.740 you have to be a scholar to do Da'wah.
00:24:45.900 That's not true,
00:24:46.560 because not everyone can be a scholar.
00:24:48.060 But at the same time,
00:24:48.940 I can't be ignorant to do Da'wah.
00:24:50.340 Da'wah has to be done with some knowledge.
00:24:51.860 So what a lot of people are
00:24:53.740 Is good at speaking
00:24:54.680 So I realized
00:24:55.980 I was a good speaker
00:24:56.740 You have the gift of gab
00:24:57.640 The gift of the gab
00:24:58.460 Right
00:24:58.700 But what I had to do
00:25:00.020 Was I had to
00:25:00.500 I had to then
00:25:01.280 Go out there
00:25:01.960 And learn Islamic knowledge
00:25:03.480 I had to go out there
00:25:04.440 And study the deen
00:25:05.380 To some level
00:25:07.540 To be able to
00:25:08.220 Actually then back up
00:25:09.300 What I'm saying
00:25:09.940 Otherwise
00:25:10.280 I'm speaking
00:25:11.200 And you probably see it
00:25:11.940 In the streaming game
00:25:12.520 People just talk
00:25:13.020 Talk talk
00:25:13.460 This is waffle
00:25:14.100 They say yapping
00:25:14.980 USA waffling
00:25:16.400 Right
00:25:16.800 Same thing
00:25:17.200 Right
00:25:17.500 And there's no benefit
00:25:18.680 If anything
00:25:19.240 You know
00:25:19.520 Talking a lot
00:25:20.300 Can be problematic
00:25:21.200 Because you know
00:25:22.060 When I told you guys
00:25:22.540 That hadith in the car
00:25:23.220 When the prophet said
00:25:23.740 Whoever believes in Allah
00:25:24.500 On the last day
00:25:25.100 Then he has to be good
00:25:27.700 Then he will be good
00:25:28.560 To his guest
00:25:29.080 In that same hadith
00:25:31.000 The prophet said
00:25:31.320 Whoever believes in Allah
00:25:32.020 On the last day
00:25:32.660 Let him say good
00:25:34.620 Or remain silent
00:25:35.460 So when you speak too much
00:25:37.340 And what you're saying
00:25:37.900 Is not proper
00:25:38.560 Especially when you've got
00:25:39.520 A public platform
00:25:40.220 And you end up saying
00:25:41.620 Something like a misguide
00:25:42.500 Someone
00:25:42.820 It backfires on you
00:25:44.660 Do you see
00:25:45.120 So I realized
00:25:45.920 I was a good speaker
00:25:47.360 Straight away
00:25:47.940 To be honest
00:25:48.260 Before I started practicing
00:25:48.960 I knew I was a good speaker
00:25:49.580 Alhamdulillah
00:25:50.060 But
00:25:50.780 When I wanted to start
00:25:52.400 Giving da'wah
00:25:52.840 I had to now
00:25:53.500 I had to go
00:25:54.240 Link some mashayikh
00:25:55.020 I had to study some books
00:25:55.900 I had to study the deen
00:25:56.620 I had to learn the Arabic language
00:25:57.620 I had to start memorizing the Quran
00:25:59.000 I had to study my deen
00:26:00.320 You know what I'm saying
00:26:00.740 Because a person can't be
00:26:02.320 A medical doctor
00:26:03.880 And give medical advice
00:26:04.620 And he hasn't gone through the process
00:26:05.700 He'll go to jail
00:26:06.880 He'll be arrested
00:26:07.800 If you tell me
00:26:09.300 If you tell me
00:26:09.320 What to do to my heart
00:26:10.900 As a doctor
00:26:12.560 You prescribe me medication
00:26:14.520 For my heart
00:26:15.080 As a doctor
00:26:15.740 And you haven't studied
00:26:17.960 And trained
00:26:18.700 You will go to jail
00:26:20.000 So what about prescribing medication
00:26:22.220 For this heart
00:26:22.800 The spiritual heart
00:26:23.720 The real heart
00:26:24.540 You know what I'm saying
00:26:25.720 If you do it without insight
00:26:27.380 It's a problem
00:26:27.820 So the prophet
00:26:28.560 Tell them
00:26:30.380 And narrate to them
00:26:31.960 From me
00:26:32.740 Even if you know one verse
00:26:33.920 So this is called tabliq
00:26:35.600 So a lot of people
00:26:36.440 They do tabliq
00:26:37.100 They convey
00:26:38.520 Da'wah is
00:26:40.340 I can actually understand this now
00:26:42.000 To some level
00:26:43.180 Right
00:26:43.720 Some people may try to
00:26:45.100 Again keep da'wah
00:26:45.700 Oh you can't give da'wah
00:26:47.180 Unless you're from our group
00:26:47.900 You can't give da'wah
00:26:48.580 Unless you're a sheikh
00:26:49.720 No it's not like that
00:26:50.420 But you have to have
00:26:51.000 Some type of knowledge
00:26:51.720 You know what I'm saying
00:26:52.260 So me I love Islamic knowledge
00:26:53.820 I love studying the deen
00:26:54.540 I love knowledge
00:26:55.080 Just generally that
00:26:55.740 I love learning
00:26:56.260 When did your passion begin
00:26:58.000 For learning about Islam
00:26:59.060 Were you always religious
00:27:00.060 No no no
00:27:00.840 Was there something that clicked
00:27:02.700 If it was
00:27:03.340 Please share with us
00:27:04.360 I was into music
00:27:05.940 I had my own recording studio
00:27:07.260 I used to make music myself
00:27:08.560 Some of the guys who
00:27:09.840 And I'm not going to mention
00:27:12.080 For certain reasons
00:27:12.780 But some of the guys
00:27:13.440 Who came out to be
00:27:14.540 Some of the biggest music artists
00:27:16.580 In my generation
00:27:17.860 They recorded their mixtapes
00:27:20.000 From my studio
00:27:20.920 Some of them blew out my studio
00:27:21.840 It's something I'm not proud of
00:27:22.800 I'm embarrassed of
00:27:23.280 But just to show you the background
00:27:24.100 I was involved in street culture
00:27:28.020 Unfortunately as I mentioned to you
00:27:29.780 I got caught up in that stuff
00:27:31.140 And then the reason
00:27:32.960 I found the deen
00:27:33.720 And this is connected
00:27:34.300 To why I love
00:27:34.840 Islamic knowledge so much
00:27:36.160 Is because I found
00:27:37.960 I entered a state of depression
00:27:40.400 Because when you've got women
00:27:41.920 That love you
00:27:43.080 That like you
00:27:43.920 And when you've got money
00:27:45.060 And I had money
00:27:46.720 As an 18, 19 year old
00:27:48.480 I've got my own studio
00:27:49.220 I'm connected to all these music artists
00:27:50.820 And I've got thugs
00:27:51.700 Guys in the streets
00:27:52.380 That I'm connected to
00:27:53.180 So I've got love
00:27:54.160 I've got respect
00:27:54.700 From all different angles
00:27:55.620 Right
00:27:55.900 As a young man
00:27:56.960 But there's nothing I'm lacking now
00:27:58.440 Like I'm good
00:27:59.360 Like I'm in a great place
00:28:01.120 I'm going to California
00:28:01.860 I should have linked up with you
00:28:02.720 I'm going to New York
00:28:05.300 I'm coming to Dubai
00:28:06.020 As a 19 year old
00:28:06.820 I'm flying my friends around
00:28:07.820 I'm still flying my entourage around
00:28:09.220 And
00:28:10.520 I'm depressed
00:28:12.480 I'm just
00:28:14.580 You weren't fulfilled
00:28:15.680 I weren't fulfilled
00:28:16.260 But as
00:28:16.580 Look at the end of the day
00:28:17.620 You want happiness
00:28:18.220 Right
00:28:18.600 What would you do
00:28:19.120 When you
00:28:19.340 I'm sure you find
00:28:20.960 Some type of happiness
00:28:21.560 From streaming
00:28:22.040 Right
00:28:22.320 You don't do anything
00:28:23.720 That doesn't bring you happiness
00:28:24.840 Right
00:28:25.120 Even if there's short term pain
00:28:26.680 Long term happiness
00:28:27.400 When I go to the gym
00:28:28.140 And I tear my muscle
00:28:29.640 It's because of the long term game
00:28:31.880 That I'm trying to get to the point
00:28:32.760 Where I start enjoying the pain
00:28:33.880 Of actually tearing my muscle
00:28:34.800 In the gym
00:28:35.240 Do you understand
00:28:35.860 But ultimately
00:28:37.040 It's happiness
00:28:37.700 That I'm seeking after
00:28:38.620 So I'm not happy
00:28:40.140 So I remember
00:28:41.140 I was in my university
00:28:42.620 I went to the prayer room
00:28:43.800 Allah just guided me
00:28:44.560 To go to the prayer room
00:28:45.200 I sat down
00:28:46.240 Had this sad look on my face
00:28:47.680 One older brother
00:28:48.540 He came up
00:28:48.840 But you were born Muslim
00:28:49.640 Craig
00:28:49.840 I was born Muslim
00:28:50.280 Yeah
00:28:50.440 I was born Muslim
00:28:51.040 So this older brother
00:28:52.360 He pulls up on me
00:28:53.300 He says listen bro
00:28:54.140 You look depressed
00:28:54.660 What's going on
00:28:55.240 I said bro
00:28:57.300 Here's my life story bro
00:28:58.260 I've got everything
00:28:58.920 That a young man would need
00:28:59.960 But I don't feel happy
00:29:00.940 He said to me
00:29:02.960 Okay I'll tell you your problem
00:29:03.740 He said when you place
00:29:04.960 Your happiness
00:29:05.380 In things that are temporary
00:29:06.380 Your happiness is temporary
00:29:08.140 If you place your happiness
00:29:09.520 In the girl
00:29:09.960 Your happiness is only
00:29:10.980 As long as the girl remains
00:29:11.980 If you place your happiness
00:29:13.320 In multiple girls
00:29:14.160 Every time
00:29:14.720 That you leave that girl at night
00:29:16.260 And now you're left
00:29:17.140 Without a woman
00:29:17.660 Your happiness is gone
00:29:18.500 So you have to go out
00:29:19.000 And seek another girl
00:29:19.800 If your happiness
00:29:20.580 Is in the drugs
00:29:21.260 And the buzz
00:29:21.840 That you receive
00:29:22.620 Then as soon as
00:29:23.520 That buzz leaves
00:29:24.280 The problems
00:29:24.700 They come back around
00:29:25.520 You understand
00:29:26.000 So if your happiness
00:29:27.600 Is connected to
00:29:28.200 Temporary fleeting things
00:29:29.360 Your happiness
00:29:30.160 Is going to be
00:29:30.600 Temporary fleeting
00:29:31.300 So then I actually
00:29:32.940 At that point
00:29:33.680 I understood
00:29:34.080 Why people kill themselves
00:29:34.900 At that point
00:29:36.840 I understood
00:29:37.220 Okay
00:29:37.620 That's why
00:29:38.980 People kill themselves
00:29:40.120 Because there's nothing
00:29:40.580 After that
00:29:41.100 Or that's why
00:29:42.220 They take drugs
00:29:42.880 But then he looked at me
00:29:45.020 And he said
00:29:45.140 But there's one way
00:29:45.740 To be happy
00:29:46.200 And there's only one way
00:29:47.180 To be happy
00:29:47.620 I said
00:29:48.520 What's that
00:29:48.900 He said
00:29:50.520 Place your happiness
00:29:51.300 In the one
00:29:51.800 That will always remain
00:29:52.900 Allah
00:29:55.040 May Allah reward that brother
00:29:58.360 If he's listening
00:29:59.280 Abu Layth man
00:30:00.580 May Allah bless him
00:30:01.240 Ameen
00:30:01.600 When he said
00:30:02.300 Yeah bro
00:30:02.700 When he said that
00:30:03.240 To me bro
00:30:03.720 I made a commitment
00:30:06.140 To fall in love
00:30:07.360 With Allah
00:30:07.700 And here's where
00:30:09.320 The knowledge
00:30:09.640 Comes into place
00:30:10.380 You can't love someone
00:30:11.500 You don't know bro
00:30:12.120 So I start studying
00:30:14.940 About Allah
00:30:15.400 And this subject
00:30:17.640 Is called
00:30:18.620 Aqeedah
00:30:19.140 Creed
00:30:19.440 It's the subject
00:30:20.340 Where you learn
00:30:20.740 Allah
00:30:21.040 Tawheed
00:30:21.480 You learn about
00:30:22.220 Who is your Lord
00:30:23.000 Every ayah
00:30:25.980 In the Quran
00:30:26.460 Is sending you
00:30:26.960 Back to Allah
00:30:27.440 Every ayah
00:30:28.740 In the Quran
00:30:29.200 Is killing you
00:30:30.020 Back to Allah
00:30:30.400 Somehow
00:30:30.640 Someway
00:30:31.080 Do you understand
00:30:32.380 When would you say
00:30:33.580 You fell in love
00:30:34.340 With Allah
00:30:34.800 That moment
00:30:35.720 That moment right there
00:30:36.440 That moment
00:30:36.980 You know why
00:30:37.860 Because I've been
00:30:38.620 For a lot of deception
00:30:39.300 Deceit
00:30:39.720 A lot of backstabbing
00:30:40.500 Bro
00:30:40.720 And at that moment
00:30:41.600 I was like
00:30:41.920 Whoa
00:30:42.120 There's someone
00:30:43.920 That always remains
00:30:44.700 He'll never betray you
00:30:46.940 But I'm getting
00:30:47.780 Troubles now
00:30:49.000 Yeah bro
00:30:49.640 It's the real deal
00:30:50.260 It's the real deal bro
00:30:52.240 I've seen it
00:30:53.460 I've seen
00:30:54.600 I've seen
00:30:55.060 Parents
00:30:56.800 I was saying
00:30:57.660 On the other
00:30:58.100 The podcast
00:30:59.320 With the brother Raheem
00:31:00.380 That we did
00:31:00.720 The other day
00:31:01.060 Remember I was saying
00:31:01.720 That I've seen
00:31:02.760 Parents do things
00:31:03.580 To their kids
00:31:04.160 To cause them pain
00:31:06.200 And there's no one
00:31:06.620 That loves you more
00:31:07.020 Than your mum and dad
00:31:07.500 Right
00:31:08.580 There's some exceptions
00:31:09.800 There's some crazy
00:31:10.360 But generally speaking
00:31:11.200 Your mum and dad
00:31:11.840 Will love you the most
00:31:12.840 Right
00:31:13.060 But I've seen parents
00:31:14.600 Do things to do things
00:31:15.100 Do things to cause
00:31:15.400 Do things to cause
00:31:15.420 Their kids pain
00:31:16.260 So
00:31:17.540 And they'll tell you
00:31:18.900 For his own good
00:31:19.560 Go to uni
00:31:20.960 Even though you don't
00:31:21.520 Want to go
00:31:21.880 Right
00:31:22.760 Marry this girl
00:31:23.720 You don't want to marry
00:31:24.180 This girl
00:31:24.580 On some level
00:31:25.380 Then there's other levels
00:31:26.080 To it
00:31:26.440 But my own mum
00:31:28.040 Can cause me pain bro
00:31:29.420 And she loves me the most
00:31:30.940 So then every human being
00:31:32.400 After hers
00:31:33.040 Is not worth
00:31:34.380 Me connecting my heart to
00:31:35.920 It's not worth
00:31:36.480 Me giving in to
00:31:37.460 But
00:31:38.200 That's what I'm saying
00:31:38.940 When I got Allah
00:31:40.120 I felt invincible bro
00:31:41.200 I actually feel like
00:31:42.800 A superhero bro
00:31:43.520 I feel like
00:31:44.080 I've got Allah bro
00:31:45.360 Even if it kill me bro
00:31:46.860 Like there's
00:31:48.200 There's this one statement bro
00:31:49.520 And I heard this so early on
00:31:50.760 And it really helped me
00:31:52.060 Understand
00:31:52.620 Like how to traverse
00:31:53.980 Through this world
00:31:54.460 There's a great scholar
00:31:55.600 Called Ibn Taymiyyah
00:31:56.420 You heard him
00:31:57.040 Of course
00:31:57.400 Right you heard him
00:31:57.960 We did a podcast
00:31:58.520 With them in
00:31:59.140 No no no
00:31:59.720 That's Abu Taymiyyah
00:32:00.640 Abu Taymiyyah
00:32:01.380 What did you say?
00:32:02.100 Ibn Taymiyyah
00:32:03.020 Okay
00:32:03.280 He died 700 years ago
00:32:04.380 Oh okay
00:32:05.140 That's not him
00:32:05.760 That's not him
00:32:06.540 No no
00:32:08.060 Abu Taymiyyah chose that name
00:32:09.380 Because of him
00:32:09.920 Okay okay
00:32:10.500 Yeah he chose that name
00:32:11.100 Chose that name
00:32:11.980 Because of him
00:32:12.460 So this is a great scholar
00:32:14.080 Right
00:32:14.340 So and he did everything
00:32:16.080 But he went to war
00:32:16.900 Studied
00:32:17.420 Saw knowledge
00:32:18.000 Was in prison
00:32:18.520 He died in prison
00:32:19.240 All of that
00:32:19.740 He had a lot of enemies
00:32:20.700 A lot of ops
00:32:21.260 He said one statement
00:32:22.380 He said what can my enemies
00:32:23.780 Do to me?
00:32:25.440 He said if they kill me
00:32:26.160 They send me to Allah
00:32:26.920 They send me to my Lord
00:32:28.800 If they put me in jail
00:32:30.500 They give me time
00:32:31.060 To be private with Allah
00:32:32.520 If they exile me from the land
00:32:34.520 They give me time
00:32:35.140 To ponder over the creation of Allah
00:32:36.880 What can my enemies do to me?
00:32:38.680 So you feel like that bro
00:32:39.520 Do what you want bro
00:32:40.760 Yeah it's like that quote
00:32:41.440 I don't know who said it
00:32:42.380 But it's
00:32:42.740 I'll bring you an army
00:32:44.060 Who loves death
00:32:44.740 The way you love life
00:32:45.660 Yeah
00:32:45.960 Yeah I'll bring you an army
00:32:47.360 That's what he used to say
00:32:48.440 I'll bring you
00:32:49.480 Harun al-Rashid
00:32:50.540 The great Khalifa
00:32:51.280 Right
00:32:51.480 When they did this
00:32:52.040 Some Roman guy
00:32:53.160 Slapped a Muslim woman
00:32:54.040 He slapped a Muslim woman
00:32:55.800 So what he did is
00:32:57.160 He sent a letter
00:32:57.880 To the Roman emperor
00:32:58.780 He said
00:32:59.560 I'm going to bring you
00:33:00.520 An army
00:33:00.980 That loves death
00:33:01.880 The way you love life
00:33:02.640 We're trying to go to Allah bro
00:33:04.100 It doesn't matter bro
00:33:04.940 I'm going to Allah
00:33:05.880 I'm going to live in this world
00:33:06.840 For 70, 70 years
00:33:08.380 The Prophet said
00:33:08.780 Is the average lifespan
00:33:09.580 And it actually happens
00:33:10.360 To be the case
00:33:11.080 Then after that bro
00:33:12.440 I'm living eternally
00:33:13.180 I'm trying to be my Lord bro
00:33:14.280 I'm trying to be my Lord
00:33:15.560 What do you do
00:33:16.580 When you start to
00:33:17.720 Do you ever lose
00:33:18.740 That faith
00:33:19.720 Do you ever lose
00:33:20.340 That connection with Allah
00:33:21.180 That when you first fell in love
00:33:22.440 Has it always maintained
00:33:23.700 That same level
00:33:24.740 So
00:33:25.520 There's a difference
00:33:26.960 Between losing
00:33:27.640 Faith
00:33:28.740 And faith fluctuating
00:33:31.120 Fluctuate
00:33:31.660 Yeah does it fluctuate
00:33:32.400 Yeah it happens to everyone
00:33:33.420 Because there's a companion
00:33:34.520 To the Prophet
00:33:35.000 He came to the Prophet
00:33:36.000 Sallallahu al-Ahi wa sallam
00:33:37.380 He said
00:33:38.140 Ya Rasulullah
00:33:38.560 I think I'm a hypocrite
00:33:39.400 Because when I'm with you
00:33:40.420 My iman is high
00:33:41.120 But when I go back to my house
00:33:42.460 I go back to my lady
00:33:43.260 I feel like my iman drops
00:33:45.020 The Prophet said
00:33:45.860 That happens to everyone
00:33:46.480 As-sa'a as-sa'a
00:33:47.560 What you have to do
00:33:49.000 Is you have to be smart now
00:33:50.340 You have to understand
00:33:51.260 Iman goes up and down
00:33:52.200 Okay so what makes it go up and down
00:33:53.760 What makes it go up and down
00:33:54.660 Because when your iman drops
00:33:55.820 You might feel a little bit demotivated
00:33:57.020 Doing sins maybe becomes a bit easier
00:33:59.100 And doing good deeds
00:33:59.660 Becomes a bit harder
00:34:00.320 So then what's the science
00:34:02.240 The science is good deeds
00:34:03.980 And knowledge
00:34:05.340 Of Allah will make your iman go up
00:34:07.260 Bad deeds
00:34:09.000 And ignorance
00:34:09.960 So Allah will make your knowledge
00:34:10.800 Will make your faith go down
00:34:12.900 It fluctuates
00:34:13.660 So then
00:34:14.400 What you have to understand
00:34:15.260 Is a time like Ramadan
00:34:16.500 This is a time to work
00:34:18.420 To build my iman up
00:34:19.280 Because I know most likely
00:34:20.460 Is going to drop a bit
00:34:21.020 When Ramadan finishes
00:34:21.640 So this is training ground
00:34:22.520 Then when Ramadan ends
00:34:23.960 The hajj season kicks in
00:34:25.260 So I've got a chance
00:34:26.300 To build my iman up again
00:34:27.300 Right
00:34:27.640 And then throughout the year
00:34:29.060 I've got Friday
00:34:29.640 Friday is that day
00:34:30.340 Where I should really
00:34:30.840 Just be focusing on
00:34:31.460 Worshiping Allah
00:34:31.920 Right
00:34:33.200 There's certain moments
00:34:33.860 In the day
00:34:34.480 For example
00:34:35.280 After Fajr
00:34:36.160 After sunrise
00:34:36.800 And after the sunset
00:34:37.520 There's times when the prophecies
00:34:38.240 Sit there
00:34:38.700 And just worship Allah
00:34:39.880 Extra
00:34:40.980 You know what I'm saying
00:34:41.720 So there's times to go in
00:34:43.340 So even me sometimes
00:34:44.820 When I find my iman dropping
00:34:46.200 I have a ritual
00:34:47.000 What I do
00:34:47.440 Is I tell my shaykh from Egypt
00:34:49.300 Me and him
00:34:50.020 We link up in Mecca
00:34:50.720 And we just go for a book
00:34:52.380 We read a book
00:34:53.400 Of one of the scholars
00:34:54.020 Of one of the great scholars
00:34:55.040 Of Islam
00:34:55.400 We study
00:34:55.880 Something about Allah
00:34:57.600 Our Lord
00:34:58.080 Something about the affairs
00:34:58.800 Of the heart
00:34:59.280 And we just sit in there
00:35:00.280 The Kaaba's right there
00:35:01.100 And we just sit there
00:35:02.080 Cross-legged
00:35:03.140 And just study bro
00:35:04.080 And just recharge
00:35:05.020 Just be energised
00:35:05.760 And then I go back
00:35:06.480 Because at the same time
00:35:07.420 I've got a business right
00:35:08.240 I've got family
00:35:09.200 I've got a grind
00:35:10.740 So sometimes that takes
00:35:12.100 A toll on you
00:35:12.760 But you've just got to be smart
00:35:13.780 You've got to know
00:35:14.360 Yourself
00:35:15.360 You've got to know
00:35:16.020 Your strengths and your weaknesses
00:35:16.980 And then you've got to
00:35:17.580 Just be smart
00:35:18.100 Okay cool
00:35:18.520 So I'm going to be
00:35:20.460 Grinding hard for three months
00:35:22.260 I'm not going to
00:35:23.960 Stop praying
00:35:24.620 Of course not
00:35:25.320 But I'm not going to be able
00:35:26.700 To be at the level
00:35:27.460 That I could be in Ramadan
00:35:28.640 That I want to be right
00:35:29.740 So then
00:35:30.120 When that season's off
00:35:31.620 I know I've booked out
00:35:32.580 One, two weeks
00:35:33.280 In Mecca, Medina
00:35:33.980 Just to kind of recharge
00:35:35.300 Otherwise
00:35:36.880 If you don't have that mindset
00:35:38.720 Like if we've never had Ramadan
00:35:39.740 But Iman
00:35:40.180 We just go lower and lower
00:35:41.440 And lower
00:35:41.740 And maybe it just disappears
00:35:43.260 So you've got to make use
00:35:44.360 Of these opportunities
00:35:44.900 To build it back up
00:35:46.020 What do you tell reverts
00:35:47.220 That have
00:35:47.780 Struggles
00:35:49.520 Like leaving
00:35:50.080 The coping mechanisms behind
00:35:52.540 Like because you were saying
00:35:54.000 That you had everything
00:35:54.760 At one point
00:35:55.320 Like you had success
00:35:56.240 You had girls
00:35:57.220 You had money
00:35:57.900 All these stuff
00:35:58.480 And so you're used to
00:36:00.020 Whenever you go through
00:36:00.900 Something difficult in your life
00:36:02.080 You could probably like
00:36:02.800 You know I used to drink
00:36:03.980 Stuff like that
00:36:04.520 I used to smoke weed
00:36:05.320 Go to the club
00:36:07.220 All that
00:36:07.780 That was like my reset
00:36:09.180 When things get to seem too much
00:36:10.580 Then you kind of get to
00:36:11.540 Turn your brain off
00:36:12.440 With Allah
00:36:13.320 You don't ever get to
00:36:14.420 Turn your brain off
00:36:15.040 You turn your brain on
00:36:16.020 And the stress reliever
00:36:17.700 Is not
00:36:18.300 You know
00:36:18.980 Escaping
00:36:19.660 And it's actually
00:36:20.440 Just being more present
00:36:21.580 How do you
00:36:23.040 How do you manage that
00:36:24.640 Because people
00:36:25.100 Who are born with Islam
00:36:26.060 You're used to
00:36:26.880 Having to turn your brain on again
00:36:28.520 And turn it up a notch
00:36:29.300 In order to get
00:36:29.860 In order to
00:36:31.560 Understand a problem
00:36:32.560 That's in your life
00:36:33.220 Whereas
00:36:33.860 People that don't have God
00:36:35.400 They turn it off
00:36:37.380 And in a way
00:36:38.320 That is like
00:36:39.000 That is a
00:36:39.620 I don't recommend it to people
00:36:41.180 But it's something
00:36:41.900 You can get used to
00:36:42.600 Just kind of like
00:36:43.080 Turning your brain off for a bit
00:36:44.100 And distracting yourself
00:36:45.380 How do you get used to
00:36:47.020 This new coping mechanism
00:36:48.960 Which is not a coping mechanism
00:36:50.180 Which is just
00:36:50.880 Embracing Allah
00:36:51.820 And what we're supposed to be doing
00:36:53.060 I actually love the way you put that
00:36:54.860 It was very eloquent
00:36:55.540 With Allah
00:36:57.220 You turn your brain on
00:36:57.980 But other than that
00:36:59.220 You have to turn your brain off
00:37:00.160 That's actually very deep
00:37:01.580 I've never thought about that
00:37:02.480 When I said it
00:37:02.960 I was like
00:37:03.160 This is dope
00:37:03.560 I'm going to steal that
00:37:04.540 I copyrighted it too
00:37:05.380 I was going to say
00:37:07.900 I'm about to take that as well
00:37:08.920 No no no
00:37:09.660 As soon as I said that
00:37:10.940 I was like
00:37:11.220 That was a bar
00:37:11.740 I was waiting for you
00:37:13.060 To say something
00:37:13.660 So now you copy
00:37:14.720 I have to call him now
00:37:16.040 Don't delete this footage
00:37:18.640 Bro that's beautiful
00:37:21.520 I've got to explain this more
00:37:23.160 Because
00:37:23.520 Yeah I feel like
00:37:24.620 There's more depth
00:37:25.080 Yeah let me explain that
00:37:25.880 This whole year
00:37:27.280 It's like
00:37:27.720 I've been dedicating
00:37:28.580 To being a good Muslim
00:37:29.640 As much as I possibly can
00:37:30.940 This Ramadan
00:37:32.120 It's all been about
00:37:33.140 Giving dawah
00:37:34.020 Traveling
00:37:35.160 Meeting people
00:37:35.700 Business wise
00:37:37.420 It doesn't make sense
00:37:38.100 To be traveling this much
00:37:39.020 And to be going to Mecca
00:37:39.940 This regularly
00:37:40.480 Doing these types of streams
00:37:41.860 What makes more sense
00:37:42.660 Is to be
00:37:43.220 What do they say
00:37:44.700 Fitna
00:37:45.040 Is to be around like girls
00:37:46.500 And to do that type of content
00:37:47.800 That you know
00:37:48.360 The internet loves
00:37:49.080 And so I'm making
00:37:50.540 A lot of sacrifices
00:37:51.440 In order to spread
00:37:52.400 A good message
00:37:53.000 But what comes with that
00:37:54.200 Is so much more
00:37:54.740 Negativity as well
00:37:55.580 I've actually noticed that
00:37:56.740 When you do
00:37:58.020 Like when I'm doing
00:37:58.540 Charity work and all that
00:37:59.520 People will look for
00:38:01.560 It's almost like
00:38:02.560 You set up
00:38:03.020 Yourself in a scope
00:38:05.040 For all the haters
00:38:05.700 For as soon as you
00:38:06.380 Slip up or something
00:38:07.200 They immediately want
00:38:08.180 To attack you more
00:38:09.020 Because you're doing
00:38:09.720 Good things
00:38:10.220 They don't want to
00:38:10.880 Talk about the good
00:38:11.540 Things that you're doing
00:38:12.060 They're all silent
00:38:12.620 About that
00:38:13.080 And so they're waiting
00:38:14.040 For you to slip up
00:38:14.740 With more
00:38:15.160 It's like
00:38:15.520 You acquire more haters
00:38:17.020 The more good things
00:38:17.880 That you put out there
00:38:18.580 But when I'm there
00:38:19.400 Like messing around
00:38:20.500 With girls
00:38:20.960 Or like promoting alcohol
00:38:22.360 Stuff like that
00:38:23.000 If I took a gambling deal
00:38:24.140 For example
00:38:24.840 I rejected a 20 million dollar
00:38:26.400 Gambling deal
00:38:26.900 Stuff like that
00:38:27.660 If I was doing that
00:38:29.100 The amount of haters would
00:38:30.140 For a year
00:38:40.120 I could have done that
00:38:41.420 I say this all the time
00:38:42.300 I don't want people
00:38:42.800 They know that
00:38:43.700 And they say
00:38:44.460 I repeat that a lot
00:38:45.200 But if I had accepted that
00:38:47.700 The amount of hate
00:38:48.480 The reason I want to
00:38:51.160 Make a big deal about that
00:38:52.100 Is because gambling
00:38:53.540 Is a form of corruption
00:38:54.840 Allah says in the Quran
00:38:56.160 The devil uses
00:38:58.320 Alcohol and gambling
00:38:59.200 To create enmity
00:39:00.920 Between the believers
00:39:01.740 It's a very evil thing
00:39:03.220 And the fact that
00:39:04.580 You had an opportunity
00:39:06.040 As a new Muslim
00:39:08.200 As a new Muslim
00:39:08.840 To spread gambling
00:39:10.920 To be a da'i
00:39:12.700 Towards gambling
00:39:13.480 At the same time
00:39:15.080 Put 20 million in your pocket
00:39:15.980 And you didn't
00:39:17.180 Allah we have to
00:39:17.840 Appreciate that bro
00:39:18.680 And there's hadith
00:39:19.760 Thank you bro
00:39:20.380 MashaAllah
00:39:20.740 There's hadith where it says
00:39:21.540 Whatever you give up
00:39:22.160 For the sake of Allah
00:39:22.820 Allah will return
00:39:23.620 To something greater
00:39:24.240 I'm at the stage where
00:39:25.720 I'm like
00:39:25.900 I'm waiting for the greater
00:39:26.980 Like when is it gonna happen
00:39:28.360 Because ever since
00:39:29.440 I became Muslim
00:39:30.260 It's like
00:39:30.620 There's more attacks
00:39:31.740 Like the last week
00:39:33.040 They deleted my Instagram
00:39:33.800 For no reason
00:39:34.460 I'm already deleted
00:39:35.860 Off of YouTube
00:39:36.380 If you don't know
00:39:36.960 Like I'm a social media
00:39:38.080 Influencer and I don't
00:39:38.760 Have access to most
00:39:39.660 Social media platforms
00:39:40.580 I have like two left
00:39:41.720 And even Twitter
00:39:42.800 The one that I have now
00:39:43.800 I was already banned
00:39:44.800 And I was returned
00:39:45.480 I've rumpled
00:39:46.300 People don't even
00:39:46.860 Like most people
00:39:47.460 Don't even know that
00:39:48.600 Most people who know
00:39:49.180 Who I am
00:39:49.480 Don't know rumble
00:39:50.060 It's a very difficult
00:39:51.080 Situation
00:39:51.660 Where I am right now
00:39:53.500 And so I'm just wondering
00:39:54.920 Like what do you do
00:39:56.020 When you start to doubt that
00:39:57.180 Because it's like
00:39:57.780 I've given up so many
00:39:58.840 Of these things
00:39:59.300 To do something good
00:40:00.100 And I noticed yesterday
00:40:01.140 Like I posted a video
00:40:02.000 Of me getting chased
00:40:02.780 Around by a tiger
00:40:03.560 You know we went to the zoo
00:40:04.820 And like the most viral
00:40:06.460 Response to that tweet
00:40:07.400 Like millions of views
00:40:09.320 And all these likes
00:40:09.860 Were like
00:40:10.160 I wish the tiger got him
00:40:11.480 Like people are wishing
00:40:12.380 Death upon me
00:40:13.100 And I didn't
00:40:13.960 That didn't happen before
00:40:14.880 If I accepted
00:40:15.740 The gambling deal
00:40:16.400 Nobody would be wishing
00:40:17.440 I was dead
00:40:17.920 Nobody would be saying that
00:40:19.680 If I was like doing
00:40:20.520 Streams with girls
00:40:21.240 And all this stuff
00:40:21.640 People would leave me alone
00:40:22.480 They would laugh
00:40:23.360 And then they would move on
00:40:24.140 Where is this hate coming from
00:40:24.920 From Muslims
00:40:25.440 It's from non-Muslims
00:40:27.640 Muslims it's been
00:40:28.420 It's been beautiful
00:40:29.080 Muslims it's all
00:40:30.040 It's all been really
00:40:30.640 It's from everybody else
00:40:32.060 But everybody else
00:40:33.260 That's who controls this game
00:40:34.600 That's who controls
00:40:35.380 The platforms
00:40:36.340 Who controls the access
00:40:37.660 The notoriety
00:40:39.060 All this stuff
00:40:39.580 So it's almost like
00:40:40.520 To play this game
00:40:41.360 You need that
00:40:44.160 Latte and cappuccino
00:40:45.180 Turkish
00:40:45.780 Thank you
00:40:48.460 Latte
00:40:49.060 No that's tea
00:40:50.080 Oh
00:40:50.440 You ordered the tea right
00:40:52.140 Yeah I ordered the tea
00:40:52.760 And that's who's gonna
00:40:54.000 Attack you more
00:40:54.720 That's who's gonna
00:40:55.360 Put your family in a spotlight
00:40:56.900 Put you in a spotlight
00:40:57.660 Constantly be putting you
00:40:58.760 Under scrutiny
00:40:59.280 Criticizing you
00:41:00.320 Trying to like
00:41:01.800 Ruin what you have
00:41:03.180 Like the amount of
00:41:04.760 Haters that you have
00:41:05.580 When you come to Islam
00:41:06.700 It's unlike
00:41:07.960 I've been doing this
00:41:08.720 For 12 years now
00:41:09.440 It's unlike anything
00:41:10.020 I've ever seen
00:41:10.620 Like as soon as
00:41:11.600 I started leaving things behind
00:41:12.700 And spreading the same thing
00:41:13.480 Every day
00:41:13.740 Like you should stop
00:41:14.600 Watching porn
00:41:15.200 You know you should
00:41:16.140 Be self sufficient
00:41:16.920 You should go to the gym
00:41:18.060 Every single day
00:41:18.700 You should be strong
00:41:19.400 So you can have a good family
00:41:20.420 Men should be men
00:41:21.380 Women should be women
00:41:22.020 We need that type of unity
00:41:23.460 To have a good family
00:41:24.320 When I started promoting this
00:41:25.740 It's like everybody's waiting
00:41:27.400 For you to slip up
00:41:28.160 Because they
00:41:28.580 It's almost like they know
00:41:29.460 What you're saying is true
00:41:30.360 And they hate that
00:41:31.520 They hate that
00:41:32.600 The rest of their lives
00:41:33.800 And everything else
00:41:34.360 The promoted is false
00:41:35.200 So it's like they need to attack
00:41:36.600 The messenger
00:41:37.940 Instead of the message
00:41:38.840 And when you get
00:41:41.760 That type of pressure
00:41:42.500 It's unlike anything
00:41:43.580 I've ever seen
00:41:44.220 And it's almost
00:41:45.420 Sometimes I have doubts
00:41:46.840 Like why am I doing
00:41:47.840 Why am I making these sacrifices
00:41:49.120 If I'm having
00:41:50.980 All this more stress
00:41:52.360 And I'm going to put myself
00:41:53.500 In the spotlight
00:41:54.880 For everybody else
00:41:55.620 To attack
00:41:56.600 Why would I give up
00:41:57.880 All these things
00:41:58.320 For the sake of Allah
00:41:59.000 If I don't notice
00:42:00.440 Immediate return
00:42:01.120 Maybe I shouldn't even
00:42:02.380 Be looking at it
00:42:03.020 But I'm curious
00:42:03.920 What do you think
00:42:04.420 I really appreciate
00:42:05.660 That question
00:42:06.140 And inshallah
00:42:06.880 I ask Allah
00:42:07.740 To blow your mind
00:42:08.800 With the answer
00:42:09.300 Okay
00:42:09.720 So I'm going to give you
00:42:10.400 The answer in two ways
00:42:11.180 Inshallah
00:42:11.440 First
00:42:12.760 The short version
00:42:15.940 Inshallah
00:42:16.420 Is that
00:42:18.060 That's something
00:42:19.480 I can relate to also
00:42:20.420 Remember I left behind music
00:42:21.800 I left behind a couple things
00:42:22.920 Came to the deen
00:42:24.140 And I started getting
00:42:24.820 A lot of attacks as well
00:42:25.680 To the point where
00:42:29.020 But we should be
00:42:31.900 Serving you man
00:42:32.360 No it's okay
00:42:33.160 It's okay
00:42:33.440 You're cooking right now
00:42:35.120 Abaq
00:42:41.300 Can you do
00:42:41.820 Come on
00:42:42.500 Go on
00:42:44.420 Keep talking
00:42:44.940 You're our guest
00:42:46.380 But we can't
00:42:46.960 Don't worry
00:42:47.480 Don't worry
00:42:47.800 Don't worry
00:42:48.120 Okay yeah
00:42:49.900 So
00:42:50.100 I've been in that situation
00:42:52.380 As well where
00:42:52.960 I've mentioned this
00:42:54.080 A couple times
00:42:54.500 Inshallah
00:42:55.440 I'm going to go into
00:42:56.620 This in a lot of detail
00:42:57.280 But there was one
00:42:58.620 There was one situation
00:42:59.300 I got caught up in
00:42:59.920 There was a mafia
00:43:01.920 From a particular country
00:43:02.700 That was after me
00:43:03.360 They actually wanted to kill me
00:43:04.580 So they had a hit out on me
00:43:05.880 ISIS
00:43:06.580 They put an official hit on me as well
00:43:08.400 They put me on
00:43:09.220 The official hit list
00:43:10.140 On top of that
00:43:12.320 Bro
00:43:12.580 I had
00:43:13.040 I had them doing documentaries on me
00:43:15.480 The news channels
00:43:16.760 Turning up to my house
00:43:17.980 Financially bro
00:43:20.140 It was a mess bro
00:43:20.780 I had
00:43:21.020 You guys know what bailiffs are
00:43:22.040 You guys call them bailiffs in America as well
00:43:23.520 Debt collectors
00:43:24.580 People come
00:43:25.760 You know
00:43:26.080 Like when you don't have money to pay
00:43:27.360 They take a TV
00:43:28.100 They take a
00:43:28.700 I don't have a TV
00:43:29.300 But like a sofa
00:43:30.000 And stuff like that
00:43:30.820 But I was homeless
00:43:31.800 When my wife was pregnant bro
00:43:32.900 I was homeless
00:43:34.020 When my wife was pregnant
00:43:35.000 I wasn't able to take care of it
00:43:36.380 I wasn't able to provide for her bro
00:43:37.460 I was sofa surfing
00:43:38.600 So
00:43:38.880 All of that happened
00:43:40.620 And now
00:43:42.400 Look where I am
00:43:43.640 Alhamdulillah

00:43:57.000 Money act
00:43:57.920 It's like whatever bro
00:43:58.800 Alhamdulillah
00:43:59.140 We made
00:43:59.460 We made
00:43:59.880 We made half a mil
00:44:00.660 From
00:44:00.900 From
00:44:01.660 Like
00:44:02.360 A business that we used to run
00:44:03.760 On the side bro
00:44:04.720 Half a mil
00:44:05.900 The
00:44:06.340 The umra business that we have
00:44:07.640 Where we take
00:44:08.720 Umraships
00:44:09.200 Half a mil bro
00:44:10.380 From something that we hustle
00:44:12.180 On the side
00:44:13.100 Alhamdulillah
00:44:14.820 Alhamdulillah
00:44:15.340 Right
00:44:15.540 Say Allah
00:44:15.820 I'm bad people
00:44:16.100 Don't give me a lie
00:44:16.660 So
00:44:17.300 Point
00:44:17.700 Just to give you a scope
00:44:19.600 But now
00:44:20.520 Here's the meat
00:44:21.460 Here's the source
00:44:23.060 Allah tested me
00:44:24.980 Allah tested me
00:44:26.540 And made me wait
00:44:27.040 And I had to wait a long time
00:44:28.380 And
00:44:28.920 Allah
00:44:29.640 Tell us in the Quran
00:44:30.680 That
00:44:31.740 And this
00:44:35.400 This ayah
00:44:35.960 I really want you to
00:44:36.760 I really want you to
00:44:37.860 Open your heart
00:44:38.480 To this
00:44:38.820 Because
00:44:39.080 This ayah
00:44:40.080 When it came down
00:44:40.920 When it's talking to
00:44:42.100 The prophet's companions
00:44:42.700 They will read that
00:44:43.660 This ayah
00:44:45.180 Is talking to the rebels
00:44:46.260 Allah said
00:44:47.480 Allah said
00:44:47.500 Do the people think
00:44:53.080 That just because
00:44:53.640 They say we believe
00:44:54.720 We're going to leave them
00:44:56.520 And we're not going to test them
00:44:58.220 And what's amazing
00:45:00.640 And this is why
00:45:01.040 I'll study the Arabic language
00:45:01.900 If you can
00:45:02.260 If Allah gives you
00:45:02.920 Tawfiq
00:45:03.700 The word
00:45:04.860 It comes from the Arabic word
00:45:07.120 Which means fitna
00:45:07.840 Now fitna has many usages
00:45:09.280 But it's base usage
00:45:11.180 Is used to describe
00:45:12.940 The process of purifying gold
00:45:15.040 So you know when you take gold
00:45:16.480 Out of the earth
00:45:17.000 It's not shining
00:45:17.960 It has all of this filth
00:45:19.680 And impurity around it
00:45:21.080 So do you know how
00:45:22.000 You purify gold?
00:45:23.620 You have to burn it
00:45:24.300 You put it in a furnace
00:45:25.380 When you burn the gold
00:45:27.400 You put it through the fire
00:45:29.060 You put it through the fire
00:45:30.020 You put it through the heat
00:45:31.260 And the pressure
00:45:31.960 And the burn
00:45:32.600 What's left at the end
00:45:34.520 Is a beautiful
00:45:35.640 Shining precious metal
00:45:36.940 That people go to war over
00:45:38.540 Is that sought after
00:45:39.940 That process of burning the gold
00:45:42.080 Is called fitna
00:45:42.700 Allah said
00:45:44.400 Do you think that
00:45:45.340 You will be left alone
00:45:47.060 Because you said you believe
00:45:48.100 Without putting you through fitna
00:45:50.200 Without purifying you
00:45:52.420 The test purifies you
00:45:54.720 And at the end of the day bro
00:45:56.720 Like for example
00:45:57.340 When I go to the gym
00:45:58.500 And I want big muscles
00:46:00.640 I can't get that
00:46:02.900 Without pain and suffering
00:46:04.300 You cannot get greatness
00:46:07.040 Without pain and suffering
00:46:08.020 If I want to build my business
00:46:09.760 I have to suffer
00:46:11.600 I have to burn
00:46:13.520 I have to feel pain
00:46:14.420 If you want greatness bro
00:46:16.020 If you want real greatness
00:46:18.180 Permanent greatness
00:46:19.720 Greatness where
00:46:20.940 The kuffar and the muslims
00:46:23.220 They look at you and they say
00:46:24.080 You have to suffer
00:46:26.560 You have to go through it
00:46:27.740 And one of the best examples
00:46:29.380 There's many examples
00:46:30.400 The Prophet Muhammad is the greatest example
00:46:31.720 But an example that I love
00:46:33.520 Is Prophet Yusuf
00:46:34.740 In the Bible they call him Joseph
00:46:36.260 As a seven year old kid
00:46:38.400 He was thrown in a well
00:46:39.180 By his own brothers
00:46:40.060 Look at the level of snake bro
00:46:41.260 Look at the level of hate
00:46:42.220 At least your haters
00:46:43.920 Are not your own family
00:46:44.760 His brothers
00:46:46.360 Put him in a well
00:46:47.440 Left him for dead
00:46:49.040 A caravan picks him up
00:46:50.920 Instead of thinking
00:46:51.340 Let's take him back to his dad
00:46:52.420 They think
00:46:53.180 We can make money off him
00:46:54.660 Cheap change
00:46:55.760 They sell him for
00:46:56.540 As a slave
00:46:57.660 Inside
00:46:58.740 He's in Egypt now
00:47:00.200 He's in the house
00:47:01.460 Of one of the governors
00:47:02.320 And what happens
00:47:03.680 The wife tries to molest him
00:47:06.020 And says to him
00:47:07.780 If you do not
00:47:08.880 Sleep with me
00:47:10.080 I'll put you in jail
00:47:11.460 And this is
00:47:12.900 Rabbi
00:47:13.280 As-sijru
00:47:14.640 He said
00:47:17.120 My lord the prison
00:47:17.900 Is more beloved to me
00:47:18.920 Than what they're calling me to
00:47:19.720 Because they didn't want
00:47:20.380 To disobey Allah
00:47:20.880 They put him in prison
00:47:22.820 In prisons in those days
00:47:24.860 Well you didn't have
00:47:25.540 No human rights bro
00:47:26.920 You didn't have no meals
00:47:28.200 You're in prison bro
00:47:29.000 And
00:47:30.440 He interprets the dream
00:47:32.520 For the two men
00:47:33.140 Who are connected
00:47:34.880 To the king
00:47:35.420 He says by the way
00:47:36.060 Don't forget me
00:47:37.020 Tell the king
00:47:37.640 They forget him
00:47:38.700 And he spends even more years
00:47:41.200 In jail
00:47:41.520 Over a decade
00:47:42.480 Some say
00:47:42.920 All of that
00:47:44.360 Left without a father
00:47:45.820 Left with
00:47:46.700 Your own brothers
00:47:47.480 Are hating on you
00:47:48.160 A woman tries to molest you
00:47:49.740 Then accuses you
00:47:50.820 Of trying to rape her
00:47:51.540 Puts you in jail
00:47:52.700 Your jail sentence
00:47:53.600 Is extended
00:47:55.020 What happened bro
00:47:57.740 After that he comes out
00:47:59.520 He gets one of the biggest positions
00:48:01.400 In the country right
00:48:02.200 The king himself says
00:48:03.500 Come come
00:48:03.880 I want you
00:48:04.480 You're going to be my right hand man
00:48:06.120 You're going to govern all of this
00:48:07.700 The haters that hated him
00:48:09.380 Come back to him
00:48:10.140 His brothers
00:48:10.580 Apologise
00:48:11.780 They come back now
00:48:12.440 They're in need of him
00:48:13.220 The woman who accused him
00:48:15.400 Says no no no no
00:48:16.680 He was innocent
00:48:17.380 It was me
00:48:17.960 Right
00:48:18.520 And then he's reunited
00:48:20.100 With his father
00:48:21.280 And everything
00:48:21.760 As bro
00:48:22.820 A leader in the land
00:48:24.300 As one of the most powerful men
00:48:26.640 On the planet that day
00:48:28.400 It couldn't have happened
00:48:29.740 Without the pain and the struggle
00:48:30.500 So you have to embrace
00:48:32.240 The pain and the struggle
00:48:32.960 Some of the imams
00:48:34.000 Some of the salafs
00:48:34.620 Some of the pious predecessors
00:48:35.600 They would start to feel a bit nervous
00:48:38.880 When they didn't have
00:48:39.700 When they didn't have pain
00:48:41.720 When they didn't have struggle
00:48:42.620 They would start to feel a little bit
00:48:44.240 Confused
00:48:45.540 Why is Allah not testing me
00:48:47.240 Does he not love me no more
00:48:48.020 And there's a hadith by the way
00:48:49.340 The prophet said
00:48:50.520 Anyone who Allah wants good from
00:48:54.000 Allah gives him difficulty
00:48:54.860 The prophet said
00:48:56.560 The most beloved people to Allah
00:48:58.240 Are the prophets
00:48:58.820 That's why the prophets
00:49:00.860 That's why they have
00:49:03.940 The hardest trials
00:49:04.800 They have the hardest lives
00:49:06.140 Then the ones after the prophet
00:49:09.040 And then after the prophets
00:49:10.060 They have hardship
00:49:11.000 And all that's to that
00:49:11.760 But hardship
00:49:13.260 Is something you got to embrace bro
00:49:14.320 But it gets to the point where
00:49:15.980 You go to the gym
00:49:16.980 I've seen you
00:49:17.540 Allahum barit
00:49:18.180 When you're fighting
00:49:20.280 That UFC fighter
00:49:21.220 And he was hammering into you
00:49:22.900 Why didn't you give up?
00:49:25.040 Because of Allah
00:49:25.560 Because I had
00:49:26.300 Because I think
00:49:27.420 Because I was praying
00:49:28.420 That's the first time
00:49:29.560 That I was really been
00:49:30.540 That focused on
00:49:31.580 On the deen
00:49:32.180 But imagine you
00:49:32.900 Didn't you feel pain though?
00:49:34.220 Not really, no
00:49:35.040 That's what happens
00:49:36.880 If you stay on this path
00:49:38.080 Long enough
00:49:38.520 All of that pain
00:49:40.500 You don't even feel it
00:49:42.340 And that's why a man
00:49:44.740 Can go for the sake of Allah
00:49:46.680 And have a bullet
00:49:48.060 Put through his chest
00:49:48.880 And he smiles
00:49:51.280 Do you understand?
00:49:54.500 But that comes
00:49:55.540 Go for it
00:49:58.400 What was that 10 seconds?
00:50:00.240 Oh, okay, okay
00:50:00.840 You're good, you're good
00:50:01.560 Okay, okay
00:50:02.120 Don't do it
00:50:02.720 I'll pick up
00:50:03.120 But that comes at what?
00:50:04.880 I'm saying
00:50:05.420 But with that
00:50:06.120 Comes that you have to
00:50:08.200 Submit to Allah completely
00:50:09.640 You said something key there
00:50:11.000 You said that time
00:50:11.540 You were praying
00:50:11.880 Right, it was during
00:50:14.260 It was on Friday prayer
00:50:15.060 We left the gym after
00:50:16.260 After the fight
00:50:17.400 And went right to Jummah
00:50:18.120 That's what Allah said in the Quran
00:50:20.440 What you believe
00:50:21.300 Seek help
00:50:22.640 Impatience in prayer
00:50:24.660 When it gets sneaky, bro
00:50:26.920 Pray
00:50:27.540 The prophet said to him
00:50:31.200 He lost his son
00:50:32.200 He had to bury his son
00:50:33.320 He had to bury his son
00:50:35.960 Imagine that, bro
00:50:36.520 He had three sons
00:50:37.820 All of them died
00:50:38.360 He had to bury them himself
00:50:39.620 What would he do?
00:50:43.400 He said, I find peace in prayer
00:50:44.700 He was attacked the most
00:50:50.080 Yeah
00:50:50.540 By his own people
00:50:52.800 You don't get attacked by people
00:50:54.620 Well, not even your own people
00:50:55.400 Imagine people that were in your family
00:50:56.520 That were supposed to be
00:50:58.140 Your own people
00:50:58.680 Yeah
00:50:58.920 So in other words
00:51:01.900 If you thought you had a heart
00:51:03.260 That's why it's always important for us
00:51:05.120 To refer back to the stories of the prophets
00:51:06.840 So we know
00:51:08.220 How to handle issues
00:51:09.900 How to handle problems
00:51:10.900 Because the people who are most beloved to Allah
00:51:13.220 Allah
00:51:13.580 Test them with the most grandest test
00:51:15.900 So the fact that Allah is testing you
00:51:17.660 You should be happy
00:51:18.600 But also Allah is preparing you
00:51:20.220 For something massive
00:51:21.320 Allah is preparing you
00:51:22.520 For something big
00:51:23.320 But that's only
00:51:24.120 If you have the mental capability
00:51:26.020 To get through this
00:51:27.120 If you have the mental capability
00:51:29.300 To get all that rubbish off of you
00:51:31.920 You're going to be that
00:51:32.660 Shiny piece of gold
00:51:34.040 You hear what I'm trying to say?
00:51:35.220 But right now
00:51:35.740 You're going through the pressure
00:51:36.700 You're going through the fire
00:51:37.820 But if you survive this
00:51:39.380 Bro
00:51:39.940 The man you could be
00:51:41.300 SubhanAllah, bro
00:51:42.260 It's going to be
00:51:43.240 Like a big enemy of the shaitan
00:51:46.020 And that's what we need
00:51:46.940 We need more enemies of the shaitan
00:51:48.420 Not more allies of the shaitan
00:51:49.880 So you say you connect with the youth
00:51:52.640 I'm starting to understand why
00:51:54.380 But why do you think that
00:51:55.220 People call it controversial?
00:51:56.960 Call me controversial?
00:51:58.040 Or do you say that
00:51:58.820 Your methods of connecting with people
00:52:00.400 Unconventional?
00:52:01.160 Unconventional
00:52:01.560 You know why, bro?
00:52:03.480 Because alhamdulillah
00:52:04.200 I actually don't care about who he is
00:52:05.580 So I try to say what is pleasing to Allah
00:52:09.600 So when you only care about what is pleasing to Allah
00:52:13.420 You're going to upset some people, right?
00:52:16.420 That's what it is
00:52:17.060 Like I actually don't care
00:52:18.460 I actually don't care what people say
00:52:21.900 The only one I care about is Allah
00:52:25.080 If you can show me
00:52:26.880 That Allah and his prophet
00:52:28.300 So this is wrong
00:52:29.680 Allah and his prophet
00:52:30.760 You'll be displeased
00:52:31.860 Now some people tell me
00:52:32.780 Don't speak slang
00:52:33.520 And I understand the argument
00:52:35.140 For not speaking slang
00:52:35.960 But me speaking slang
00:52:37.360 Helps me relate to so many youngsters
00:52:38.540 So let me be that guy that speaks slang
00:52:41.100 Just leave me alone, bro
00:52:41.900 I'm helping the guys
00:52:43.560 Get the drugs off the streets
00:52:45.920 We're helping them get the knives off the streets
00:52:47.120 By the way
00:52:47.760 With Allah's permission
00:52:48.760 From me
00:52:49.740 But
00:52:50.440 Because I was heavily invested
00:52:52.320 In wanting to give that out
00:52:53.260 To the guys on the streets
00:52:54.120 Like that's really what my passion was, you know
00:52:56.180 I just felt like I had to relate to them
00:52:58.860 I just keep it real
00:52:59.420 I just have to keep it real
00:53:01.200 You know what I'm saying?
00:53:02.140 What would you say is your most memorable day of Dawah?
00:53:05.960 Well it's like a moment
00:53:07.660 That you gave Dawah
00:53:09.060 And like you just
00:53:10.700 Wow
00:53:11.080 Like this was like
00:53:11.840 A very very powerful moment
00:53:13.640 I'm not sure if you've seen that video
00:53:14.560 Where I'm outside the shisha cafes on Eid
00:53:16.120 That's the video
00:53:17.600 Like a lot of people have seen
00:53:18.440 Where it was Eid day, right?
00:53:20.760 So it's relevant
00:53:21.580 Because Ramadan right now
00:53:22.880 So Ramadan, you know
00:53:24.300 That's where you go in, right?
00:53:25.820 That's where the drug dealers
00:53:26.920 They come to the masjid
00:53:27.760 That's where
00:53:29.080 That's where the gangsters
00:53:30.200 They come to Eid
00:53:30.740 Shaitan is locked up
00:53:31.920 So people will start to do good
00:53:34.180 But when Eid day kicks in
00:53:36.380 I'm not sure if you're familiar
00:53:37.280 But in Muslim culture
00:53:38.480 There's no jinn on the day of Eid
00:53:40.740 No, no, no
00:53:41.520 That's where the shaitan's out
00:53:42.660 He comes out
00:53:43.960 He comes out
00:53:44.620 And
00:53:44.880 And that's where bro
00:53:49.120 That day
00:53:49.720 A lot of people
00:53:50.580 They set to waste what they built
00:53:53.920 You know one of the signs
00:53:55.280 That your fasting has been accepted
00:53:57.640 Is that you do good after Ramadan
00:53:59.700 That if the day Ramadan ended
00:54:01.640 You're back drinking
00:54:03.180 You're back with the girls
00:54:04.360 You're back doing all this nonsense
00:54:05.380 That's a scary sign
00:54:06.980 So for me
00:54:08.520 I knew that
00:54:09.300 Especially my culture
00:54:10.040 Pakistani people, right?
00:54:11.220 You'll be able to
00:54:11.740 You know, Chandrat
00:54:12.360 They call it Chandrat
00:54:13.080 But that's
00:54:13.920 On the day of Eid bro
00:54:15.360 That's where they run riot
00:54:17.060 So what I wanted to do
00:54:18.060 Is I wanted to go to this place
00:54:19.280 Where they all come out
00:54:20.660 For all this chaos
00:54:21.880 And I really felt
00:54:23.640 Pain from my brothers
00:54:24.840 That day man
00:54:25.500 And my sisters
00:54:26.220 I really felt pain
00:54:27.020 So I remember
00:54:27.840 45 minutes
00:54:28.840 I was just walking up
00:54:29.600 And down the strip
00:54:30.160 There's this place
00:54:30.660 Called Edgeway Road
00:54:31.500 In West London
00:54:32.760 I was just going
00:54:34.620 Up and down the road
00:54:35.380 45 minutes before
00:54:36.200 I was going to address the people
00:54:37.120 And I was just fighting
00:54:38.500 My heart
00:54:39.120 To get my intention right
00:54:40.340 Because you know
00:54:41.920 When you speak bro
00:54:42.680 It's very easy
00:54:43.520 To forget
00:54:44.600 That I'm doing this for Allah
00:54:46.140 And start doing it for the camera
00:54:47.380 So
00:54:49.120 45 minutes
00:54:51.580 I was just focusing
00:54:54.020 Like yo yo yo
00:54:54.840 Imran
00:54:55.100 Make sure you
00:54:55.660 When you do this
00:54:56.580 You do it for Allah's sake
00:54:57.400 And then I got the mic
00:55:00.200 And I started speaking
00:55:00.980 And I remember
00:55:02.100 Well I remember that day
00:55:03.040 Alhamdulillah
00:55:03.620 I remember that day
00:55:04.620 And the proof is in the pudding man
00:55:06.360 Because that video was
00:55:07.280 One of the most impactful videos
00:55:09.400 I ever made
00:55:09.800 That's the one where people
00:55:10.600 Whenever they come into contact
00:55:12.140 With my da'wah
00:55:13.220 They like brought us
00:55:13.880 For that video
00:55:14.440 So that day
00:55:16.420 It was a memorable day for me
00:55:17.800 Yeah Alhamdulillah
00:55:18.480 Can you tell us about that day?
00:55:20.680 Yeah bro
00:55:21.180 For the people who haven't seen the video
00:55:22.480 Yeah yeah
00:55:23.040 So
00:55:23.340 Literally bro
00:55:24.440 Just you know
00:55:25.020 You see girls
00:55:26.380 So we were driving up and down
00:55:27.840 On a strip
00:55:29.760 And
00:55:30.820 There were some
00:55:32.740 There were some girls
00:55:34.140 That were up to no good
00:55:34.860 Right?
00:55:36.140 Some sisters
00:55:36.620 So
00:55:38.060 The window was down
00:55:39.840 And they saw me
00:55:40.500 And they go
00:55:40.720 Oh it's down man
00:55:41.760 It's down man
00:55:42.360 Fix up
00:55:43.640 Conquer it
00:55:44.820 And I just looked to the sisters
00:55:46.440 And I said
00:55:46.680 Sister
00:55:46.960 Forget me man
00:55:48.480 Allah was already watching
00:55:49.240 You know what I'm saying
00:55:51.980 Allah was already watching
00:55:52.760 And that hurt me
00:55:54.120 But we really
00:55:55.280 Don't care
00:55:56.580 Like not that you don't care about Allah
00:55:57.840 But have you
00:55:58.260 Have you really just like
00:55:59.960 Forgot about your Lord that quickly?
00:56:02.660 So yeah
00:56:03.300 I just took the mic
00:56:04.200 I started speaking to the people
00:56:05.420 I was telling them
00:56:06.800 Brothers Ramadan's ended
00:56:07.800 Don't turn away from Allah
00:56:08.740 Come back to Allah
00:56:09.440 If you haven't seen the video
00:56:10.760 Check it out
00:56:11.240 Inshallah
00:56:11.480 If you type in
00:56:13.280 Dao Man Outside Shisha Cafe
00:56:14.380 It will come up
00:56:15.000 Even though I don't go by the name
00:56:16.800 Dao Man anymore
00:56:17.360 But if you type that
00:56:18.380 Dao Man Outside Shisha Cafe
00:56:19.900 It will come up
00:56:21.320 And yeah man
00:56:22.840 People start crying
00:56:23.640 It was emotional
00:56:24.760 We've read Salah on the streets
00:56:25.720 But it was amazing
00:56:26.520 That message
00:56:27.120 And this is the beauty
00:56:28.060 Of being sincere
00:56:28.860 Or being sincere
00:56:29.940 Sincerely
00:56:31.220 Because maybe people
00:56:32.060 Don't understand that concept
00:56:33.000 Who are you doing this for?
00:56:35.220 That's what sincerity
00:56:36.160 Sincerity is
00:56:36.640 Who are you doing this for?
00:56:37.780 If I'm doing it for the views
00:56:38.540 If I'm doing it for the likes
00:56:39.540 If I'm doing it for the love
00:56:40.880 Of the people
00:56:41.220 Their recognition of the people
00:56:43.480 Then my reward
00:56:45.140 Is with them
00:56:46.480 When I got paid
00:56:47.560 I got rewarded
00:56:48.100 When I got the likes
00:56:49.240 I already got rewarded
00:56:49.920 But if you did it for Allah's sake
00:56:51.060 Your reward is with Allah
00:56:52.400 Now Allah said
00:56:53.500 وَمَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ بَاقُ
00:56:55.800 If you do things for Allah's sake
00:56:57.920 It remains
00:56:59.040 I made that video
00:57:00.620 Over ten years ago almost
00:57:01.860 If you look at it
00:57:03.620 It will probably say
00:57:04.100 Six years, seven years
00:57:04.900 Because my channel got taken down
00:57:05.960 Originally it got re-uploaded
00:57:06.820 But I did that almost ten years ago
00:57:08.480 Until today
00:57:09.460 That video
00:57:10.560 It still rings bells
00:57:11.600 What you do for Allah's sake bro
00:57:14.120 You're dead
00:57:15.180 You'll remain
00:57:16.420 That Sheikh I told you
00:57:17.860 About Ibrutamia right
00:57:18.640 They
00:57:20.120 Wanted him dead bro
00:57:22.020 See what they did
00:57:22.940 They put him in jail
00:57:23.540 He died in jail
00:57:24.720 When he was in jail
00:57:25.600 He was even writing books
00:57:26.640 Refuting the people
00:57:27.620 That now
00:57:28.400 You do a live stream
00:57:29.180 You make a video
00:57:29.680 In those days you write
00:57:30.420 You write
00:57:31.660 So he's still writing bro
00:57:33.240 And he's getting
00:57:34.120 He's getting the truth out there
00:57:35.420 Why did they put him in jail?
00:57:36.740 Because he was speaking the truth
00:57:37.800 He's speaking the truth
00:57:39.900 He's trying to call people to Islam
00:57:40.940 He's saying fix the liars
00:57:41.940 Worship Allah
00:57:43.140 Stop the haram
00:57:45.200 Stop the bida
00:57:45.620 Stop these corrupted beliefs
00:57:46.660 So they took his pens
00:57:49.100 They took his pens
00:57:50.540 Oh wait
00:57:51.440 They took his paper
00:57:51.940 Which government?
00:57:53.320 This was
00:57:53.700 At the time
00:57:54.780 It was the Mamluk Empire
00:57:55.680 It was the Mamalik
00:57:57.840 The Mamluks
00:57:58.620 In English
00:57:58.940 They're called Mamluks right?
00:57:59.860 What is it?
00:58:00.760 I don't even know what that is
00:58:01.600 They were
00:58:02.140 I don't know what they were originally
00:58:04.520 But they used to govern
00:58:05.260 They were established in Egypt
00:58:07.060 They used to govern over Egypt
00:58:08.320 And
00:58:09.580 And
00:58:10.420 And Syria
00:58:12.420 And all those regions
00:58:13.460 So
00:58:14.180 But it wasn't even
00:58:15.520 It wasn't even
00:58:16.020 It wasn't even the governments
00:58:16.940 That were onto him
00:58:17.540 It was
00:58:18.600 People of misguidance
00:58:20.380 Like
00:58:20.840 Preachers of misguidance
00:58:22.120 And they would say
00:58:23.280 You'll pull him in jail
00:58:23.940 So
00:58:24.920 They took his pens
00:58:26.320 And everything away from him
00:58:27.400 They took his
00:58:28.660 Imagine you took a man
00:58:29.600 Everything away from a man
00:58:30.720 He died
00:58:31.660 Today
00:58:33.360 He studied
00:58:35.820 In Oxford University
00:58:37.340 Today
00:58:38.560 Islamic governments
00:58:41.080 And
00:58:42.560 Sorry
00:58:42.900 Islamic courts
00:58:43.660 Take his
00:58:45.740 His verdicts
00:58:47.660 Today
00:58:48.760 The man is dead
00:58:49.440 But we're talking about him right now
00:58:51.280 His
00:58:51.900 His works and books
00:58:53.280 Are being studied
00:58:53.920 In
00:58:55.000 The ends of the world
00:58:56.020 Because he was sincere
00:58:56.860 In life
00:58:59.000 They
00:58:59.780 They managed to silence him right
00:59:01.720 But a man who's sincere bro
00:59:03.460 You can't
00:59:04.520 You can't stop him
00:59:05.580 Because Allah's
00:59:06.440 Because that was for Allah right
00:59:07.800 So whatever you
00:59:08.800 Whatever's for Allah
00:59:09.520 Whatever you can connect
00:59:10.320 Allah will remain
00:59:10.980 The way Allah remains
00:59:12.240 That message will remain
00:59:14.080 They can't put you up
00:59:15.860 So you talked about
00:59:17.660 You know
00:59:18.180 Your most memorable
00:59:19.240 Time
00:59:20.000 What was the most difficult time
00:59:22.460 That you had during Allah
00:59:23.840 What was the most difficult day
00:59:26.660 That you can remember to this day
00:59:28.040 That wow
00:59:28.460 That was a very tough day
00:59:30.020 Yeah
00:59:30.280 There was a moment
00:59:32.240 Many people may not remember this
00:59:34.660 But a lot of people will
00:59:36.880 I honestly believe I was the most hated person online
00:59:39.500 At one point
00:59:39.980 I was being attacked
00:59:41.700 By the atheists
00:59:42.640 By the Jews
00:59:43.420 By the Christians
00:59:44.240 By the liberalists
00:59:45.080 By the gays
00:59:45.760 I got banned from universities
00:59:47.280 I was attacked by the Muslims
00:59:48.580 I got banned from the mosques
00:59:49.620 I was
00:59:49.940 I was
00:59:51.040 I was banned everywhere
00:59:52.480 YouTube shutting me down
00:59:53.740 Instagram shut my account down five times
00:59:56.300 I was trending on Twitter
00:59:59.680 For probably about a year bro
01:00:00.820 As
01:00:01.680 UK's most hated guy
01:00:03.440 People wanted to be physical with me
01:00:07.480 I told you
01:00:07.860 ISIS put a hit out on me
01:00:09.300 I had no money
01:00:11.640 But Allah had fun bro
01:00:15.220 I used to get a kick out of it
01:00:19.720 It was me
01:00:20.460 Abu Bakr
01:00:21.240 Our sheikh
01:00:22.340 My brother
01:00:22.920 We sit in a room
01:00:24.240 One other brother called Guled
01:00:25.600 Five of us
01:00:26.240 We sit
01:00:26.680 We say yeah
01:00:28.080 We know we're on the right track
01:00:30.340 When you're hating this much
01:00:31.460 From every angle
01:00:32.120 You know what I'm saying
01:00:33.100 You know you must be doing something right
01:00:34.820 What did you do to upset the Muslims?
01:00:38.340 So
01:00:38.540 Without getting too complicated bro
01:00:43.920 Like
01:00:46.760 When you really want to do
01:00:48.240 What's pleasing to Allah
01:00:49.260 You're going to upset
01:00:51.080 Multiplicity of people right
01:00:52.200 Remember some Muslims are influenced by the West
01:00:53.820 Right
01:00:54.920 Some Muslims are also influenced by other ideologies
01:00:57.760 So you're going to have some sisters that are influenced by feminism
01:00:59.820 Some Muslims are influenced by liberalism
01:01:01.980 Some Muslims are influenced by
01:01:04.020 Like that
01:01:06.560 Like the Muslims are influenced by ISIS for example right
01:01:09.120 So
01:01:09.700 Even within Islam
01:01:10.760 Islam is pure
01:01:11.760 Islam is correct
01:01:13.060 Then there's going to be some ideologies
01:01:15.480 That are going to come from outside Islam
01:01:17.660 That the Muslims are going to hold on to
01:01:19.180 Like my
01:01:20.780 My teachers
01:01:21.960 My Mashaikh
01:01:22.500 Who I study with
01:01:23.660 The Shesha Sassu
01:01:24.440 They tell me that
01:01:25.100 You know Imran
01:01:25.560 30, 40 years ago
01:01:26.960 50 years ago
01:01:27.640 It weren't about feminism
01:01:28.960 Feminism wasn't getting into the Muslims
01:01:31.220 Liberalism wasn't getting into the Muslims
01:01:32.620 It was
01:01:32.960 It was communism
01:01:33.720 So that's what we had to deal with
01:01:35.440 Like
01:01:36.100 Muslims were
01:01:37.100 Being affected by communism
01:01:38.500 Because that was
01:01:39.320 The
01:01:40.600 The Dajstana
01:01:42.360 As soon as he starts speaking the truth
01:01:48.260 They try to silence him again
01:01:49.280 It's Mossad
01:01:50.900 But yeah so
01:01:54.580 It sounds like a plane about to take off
01:01:56.920 This room is about to
01:01:58.520 Just blast off
01:01:59.800 Alhamdulillah
01:02:02.500 Alhamdulillah
01:02:03.780 So some Muslims
01:02:06.640 Who are
01:02:07.760 Who are
01:02:08.900 Like influenced by those ideologies
01:02:10.380 When you keep the truth
01:02:11.980 Pure
01:02:12.920 They're going to be upset as well
01:02:14.260 Right
01:02:15.140 Like some Muslims got influenced by Christians
01:02:16.720 Christians worship a man right
01:02:18.680 So there's some people that will tell you I'm Muslim
01:02:20.500 But they'll worship
01:02:21.100 They'll worship the Prophet Muhammad
01:02:22.620 But that's not Islam
01:02:24.360 Some will worship saints
01:02:25.980 The same way the Catholics worship saints
01:02:27.620 They worship saints
01:02:29.100 Oh you know this in Pakistan
01:02:30.580 But we've got a lot of this unfortunately right
01:02:31.880 So there's
01:02:33.440 There's
01:02:34.540 Even people that will tell you I'm Muslim
01:02:36.400 But they get a bit confused
01:02:39.040 That's like
01:02:40.640 You just got to keep it pure bro
01:02:42.120 So how did you overcome that?
01:02:45.100 You know because obviously
01:02:45.700 It seems like you had a lot of
01:02:46.720 All that hate
01:02:47.280 How did you get out of that?
01:02:48.180 Because I get a kick out of it too
01:02:49.540 Like when people are angry
01:02:50.580 Trending all this stuff
01:02:51.840 Like the attacks
01:02:53.000 And also I like the tests
01:02:54.320 Like how am I going to go past this test
01:02:56.160 I'm going to rub my hands together
01:02:57.520 How am I going to find my way out of this?
01:02:59.600 How did you find your way out of all those attacks?
01:03:02.420 Patience in prayer bro
01:03:03.320 Like Allah said
01:03:04.260 For you who believe
01:03:05.360 Seek help and patience in prayer
01:03:09.060 And also good brothers
01:03:10.800 And one last thing
01:03:13.140 Studying
01:03:14.360 Akh wallahi
01:03:15.280 Whenever it got hard
01:03:16.800 Abu Bakr will tell you this right
01:03:18.760 Whenever we was going through a hard time
01:03:20.580 Our Sheikh would just open up a book bro
01:03:22.360 Let me teach you this book bro
01:03:24.320 Until now I do that
01:03:25.980 Whenever I'm going for a problem in life
01:03:27.300 I find a book
01:03:28.840 That's one of like the key books on this subject
01:03:30.860 Written by one of the great Islamic scholars
01:03:33.100 We'll just go through a book bro
01:03:34.600 Like look right now
01:03:35.360 I can see from your eyes
01:03:36.420 Some of the things that are being said here
01:03:37.820 Are touching you
01:03:39.220 This is knowledge
01:03:40.220 This is how else you get through it
01:03:42.420 Knowledge
01:03:43.240 The first thing
01:03:43.980 That was revealed
01:03:44.920 On the Prophet
01:03:46.240 The first thing
01:03:47.080 Yaqra
01:03:48.680 Read
01:03:49.040 Read in the name of your Lord
01:03:51.400 Read in the name of the Lord
01:03:54.060 Read in the name of the Lord
01:03:54.080 Read in the name of the one
01:03:56.420 Who taught you with the pen
01:03:57.640 This was the first ayat
01:03:59.400 That came down ever
01:04:00.400 So knowledge
01:04:01.580 Is a big part of our deen bro
01:04:02.580 So
01:04:02.740 The most important thing
01:04:04.060 Is learning about Allah
01:04:04.820 The Quran is a book of guidance
01:04:06.460 The Quran will show you
01:04:07.620 Will get you to paradise
01:04:09.040 The Quran will show you
01:04:10.000 What's right
01:04:10.700 What's wrong
01:04:11.120 It will give you objective truths
01:04:12.920 It will give you guidance
01:04:14.000 Stories of the Prophets
01:04:14.920 How the Prophets handle hate
01:04:16.220 How the Prophets handle criticism
01:04:17.320 How they handle their relationships
01:04:18.860 It will tell you all of that
01:04:19.700 And then above and beyond
01:04:21.380 You study the Prophet's life
01:04:23.060 Because the life of the Prophet
01:04:24.220 Is the
01:04:24.520 Have you read
01:04:26.280 The biography of the Prophet?
01:04:27.800 Some of it, yeah
01:04:28.480 Okay, there's one called
01:04:29.300 When the Moon Splits
01:04:30.180 Are you a reader?
01:04:31.800 You like to read?
01:04:32.580 Yeah
01:04:32.840 Okay, read that
01:04:33.960 When the Moon Splits
01:04:35.640 And then
01:04:36.780 There's other biographies
01:04:37.880 There's a biography of the Prophet
01:04:38.920 I had
01:04:39.180 That's nine volumes long
01:04:40.360 It's the life
01:04:41.440 Of the greatest man bro
01:04:42.440 Who lived the Quran
01:04:44.440 He lived
01:04:45.680 He was a walking talk
01:04:47.300 Manifestation of
01:04:49.000 Of the speech of Allah, right?
01:04:50.880 So you can't get enough of him
01:04:51.960 Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
01:04:52.620 But
01:04:53.080 Start with
01:04:54.140 Something like
01:04:54.680 When the Moon Splits
01:04:55.700 And if there's anyone listening
01:04:57.520 Who's not a Muslim
01:04:58.180 You're interested
01:04:58.880 When the Moon Splits
01:05:00.820 Read that book
01:05:01.560 Learn about who that man was
01:05:02.860 And
01:05:04.700 I know a lot of people
01:05:05.620 In America
01:05:06.300 Are touched by the
01:05:07.080 Biography of Malcolm X, right?
01:05:09.040 That was me, yeah
01:05:09.680 Really, yeah?
01:05:10.960 That's how it brought me to Islam
01:05:12.180 When I was younger
01:05:12.760 You know what?
01:05:14.280 I actually have that
01:05:15.060 On my reading list
01:05:15.680 There's a brother I met
01:05:16.380 You haven't read it?
01:05:18.060 No, bro
01:05:18.500 There's a brother I met recently
01:05:19.520 And he said something to me
01:05:20.720 About that book
01:05:21.280 In such a way that touched me
01:05:22.460 I said I have to pick that up
01:05:23.600 Okay, but now
01:05:25.120 Read the biography of the prophet
01:05:25.940 It's similar to
01:05:27.240 Read the biography of the man
01:05:28.600 That Malcolm X was touched by
01:05:30.480 Yeah
01:05:31.140 Do you understand?
01:05:31.940 He had a similar story
01:05:32.940 To Ebrutemir
01:05:33.820 He was saying
01:05:34.200 That when he was in jail
01:05:35.680 When he was locked up
01:05:36.660 That's when he started learning
01:05:37.640 He started reading the dictionary
01:05:38.780 Every single day
01:05:39.480 That's when he started reading books
01:05:40.420 That's when he found Islam
01:05:41.620 When he had time alone
01:05:42.520 To do nothing but pray
01:05:43.500 And read and learn
01:05:44.660 Yeah, there was these two books
01:05:45.660 That he read, right?
01:05:46.140 That's what the guy was telling me
01:05:46.920 He said these two books
01:05:47.660 Apparently they're banned now
01:05:49.360 In jails
01:05:49.840 The two books
01:05:50.940 It was two books he read
01:05:51.860 I wrote them down
01:05:54.200 I said I need to read those books as well
01:05:55.780 What are they?
01:05:57.560 Do you remember?
01:05:58.360 I can
01:05:59.040 Do you know if you've had
01:06:00.280 Put it out
01:06:01.140 The two books that Malcolm X read in jail
01:06:02.740 The ones that
01:06:03.680 Really opened up his mind
01:06:04.820 But yeah
01:06:05.720 One of them is nine volumes
01:06:07.320 And one is one
01:06:08.740 She turned it off
01:06:11.020 It's not that bad
01:06:12.460 It's probably not amazing
01:06:13.300 What's the lesson to be
01:06:16.200 What lesson can we take from
01:06:17.800 When the moon splits?
01:06:20.700 So
01:06:20.940 That book
01:06:23.180 Is an introduction to who the prophet was
01:06:25.180 So if you're a person
01:06:27.420 Who cares about
01:06:28.280 Truth
01:06:29.460 Prevailing over falsehood
01:06:31.200 Then
01:06:33.700 And you want to learn
01:06:36.100 How to be great
01:06:38.420 In the prophet's biography
01:06:41.100 Because
01:06:42.600 That was a man
01:06:43.440 Whose mission
01:06:44.680 Was truth
01:06:45.820 Over falsehood
01:06:46.560 And all the problems
01:06:48.060 That come
01:06:48.680 With that
01:06:49.400 He saw it
01:06:50.700 He saw it
01:06:52.160 If not worse
01:06:52.660 The prophet
01:06:56.260 He was born
01:06:58.060 His father was already dead
01:07:00.840 When he's five years old
01:07:02.500 His mom dies
01:07:03.580 Then he's taken him
01:07:05.100 By what his grandfather
01:07:06.080 His granddad dies
01:07:06.740 When he's like nine
01:07:07.460 Then he's taken him
01:07:08.680 By his uncle
01:07:09.440 His uncle
01:07:10.580 Then dies
01:07:11.380 Years later
01:07:12.420 The prophet's wife
01:07:13.580 Khadija
01:07:13.960 Who was his most beloved wife
01:07:14.960 The prophet had many wives
01:07:15.840 But when he had Khadija
01:07:16.900 Who he had for over 20 years
01:07:18.760 He never married a single woman
01:07:19.820 Because she was the most beloved woman to him
01:07:21.460 Dead
01:07:22.520 His son
01:07:25.280 Qasib
01:07:25.800 Dead
01:07:26.180 Ibrahim
01:07:27.080 Dead
01:07:27.560 Abdullah
01:07:28.080 Dead
01:07:28.620 Zainab
01:07:29.180 Dies
01:07:29.660 Ruqayya
01:07:31.220 Dies
01:07:31.660 Uncle
01:07:32.500 Dies
01:07:32.920 The prophet just goes
01:07:33.680 Wins about
01:07:34.680 Out number three
01:07:36.600 To one
01:07:36.940 Celebrating
01:07:37.420 Comes back
01:07:37.900 Only to find out
01:07:38.640 We're praying
01:07:39.160 Your daughter's funeral
01:07:39.840 What was the lesson
01:07:42.300 In all of those people
01:07:43.400 Being taken away
01:07:44.040 From the prophet
01:07:44.500 So he had no distraction
01:07:46.900 Between him and Allah
01:07:47.660 It's like Allah is saying
01:07:49.760 Muhammad
01:07:50.160 You're for me
01:07:51.320 And I
01:07:52.700 I am for you
01:07:53.660 He took his mom away
01:07:54.980 Took his dad away
01:07:55.760 Took his granddad away
01:07:57.180 Took his uncle away
01:07:58.060 Took his wife away
01:07:59.280 His kids
01:08:00.200 And then tell me
01:08:04.020 You have mental health
01:08:04.860 Fools
01:08:07.180 Popping pills
01:08:08.800 To stay mentally stable
01:08:10.200 What did the prophet use
01:08:13.200 To treat his mental health
01:08:14.500 Or to stabilize his mental health
01:08:16.280 Prayer
01:08:17.000 Prayer
01:08:18.860 Quran
01:08:19.460 It is in the remembrance
01:08:24.200 Of Allah
01:08:24.560 That the hearts
01:08:25.140 They find peace
01:08:25.900 Whoever turns away
01:08:31.720 From the Quran
01:08:32.340 He will live a depressed life
01:08:33.640 I will not depress people
01:08:36.060 Alhamdulillah bro
01:08:37.200 We get a crack in that
01:08:38.720 You can turn against me
01:08:40.320 It's cool
01:08:41.820 I have Allah
01:08:42.460 Open up the Quran
01:08:43.580 Sit down
01:08:44.240 Sometimes
01:08:45.320 Surah
01:08:46.880 The story of Yusuf
01:08:47.680 I remember
01:08:48.420 First time
01:08:49.280 First time I felt pain
01:08:50.220 You know when I came to the deen
01:08:51.220 And I felt pain
01:08:52.220 I was like okay
01:08:53.060 I'm practicing now
01:08:53.860 But I'm feeling that pain
01:08:55.020 That brother I told you
01:08:56.880 The one who gave that to me
01:08:57.800 Right
01:08:58.020 He said to me
01:08:59.560 Go read Surah Yusuf
01:09:00.720 Go read the translation
01:09:02.700 Since that day
01:09:04.480 Every time it gets cracking
01:09:05.820 It gets hard in life
01:09:06.920 I open up Surah Yusuf
01:09:08.200 Surah number 12
01:09:09.100 Chapter 12 of the Quran
01:09:10.380 And then
01:09:11.840 When I started studying
01:09:13.160 Actual Islamic knowledge
01:09:15.080 And I found the Sheikh
01:09:15.900 I said Sheikh
01:09:16.280 The first thing I want you to teach me
01:09:17.560 Teach me the detailed explanation
01:09:19.940 Of Surah Yusuf
01:09:20.660 It's the first thing I studied ever
01:09:22.600 Do you know what I'm saying
01:09:24.420 Abbaqa loves that surah so much
01:09:25.800 He named his son Yusuf
01:09:26.680 So you know
01:09:31.320 You talk a lot about
01:09:32.200 Seeking knowledge right
01:09:33.180 So what would you
01:09:34.380 Recommend for
01:09:35.600 A new Muslim
01:09:37.080 Or a non-Muslim
01:09:38.360 To seek knowledge of Islam
01:09:40.220 What path
01:09:41.300 Would you advise for them
01:09:42.760 Are you going to say
01:09:43.720 Read about the Prophet's life
01:09:44.880 Yeah definitely
01:09:45.900 I would say
01:09:46.620 If you've come to the deen
01:09:48.680 Get yourself a biography
01:09:49.740 Of the Prophet
01:09:50.220 And the simplest one
01:09:51.960 When the mood splits
01:09:52.700 If you want to get
01:09:53.740 More detailed
01:09:54.480 There's one called
01:09:55.080 The silk nectar
01:09:55.660 And there's
01:09:56.460 One's in English
01:09:57.320 That would do you nice
01:09:59.220 But I like to keep it simple
01:10:00.300 When you come to the deen
01:10:01.320 You need to learn
01:10:01.980 Really three things
01:10:03.700 Learn about Allah
01:10:06.160 It's the first thing
01:10:08.080 Start learning about Allah
01:10:09.280 There's 33 times in the Quran
01:10:10.920 Allah commands us
01:10:11.820 To learn about him
01:10:12.460 33 times
01:10:14.060 33
01:10:14.460 Sorry sorry sorry
01:10:16.220 30 odd
01:10:16.820 More than 30
01:10:17.780 Not 30
01:10:18.120 I don't worry about 33
01:10:18.740 But more than 30
01:10:19.960 30 and something
01:10:22.400 30 and something
01:10:23.360 30 and something
01:10:24.040 So it's more than 30
01:10:25.240 I don't know exactly how much it is
01:10:26.040 But Allah tells you to what
01:10:27.060 Learn about him
01:10:28.880 Not just that
01:10:30.000 Second thing is
01:10:31.540 You learn about prayer
01:10:32.100 That's the first thing
01:10:32.820 And
01:10:33.940 You learn how to purify yourself
01:10:35.500 Because
01:10:35.780 Tahara
01:10:36.260 Wudu is needed
01:10:37.000 For prayer
01:10:38.200 And that's the basics
01:10:39.320 And it shouldn't get more complicated than that
01:10:40.920 Everything else
01:10:42.080 We get to it gradually
01:10:43.680 But these are the first three things
01:10:45.380 Learn about your luth
01:10:46.040 Learn how to pray
01:10:48.000 Learn how to purify yourself
01:10:49.820 And then of course
01:10:51.740 The fourth thing
01:10:52.280 Learn about the life of a prophet
01:10:53.980 Read his biography
01:10:54.880 We keep it simple
01:10:55.760 We keep it basic
01:10:56.460 So for those
01:10:57.960 Who are watching
01:10:58.740 That don't know who Allah is
01:10:59.980 How would you introduce Allah to them?
01:11:03.240 How would I introduce Allah?
01:11:04.320 To a person
01:11:07.320 Who doesn't know who Allah is
01:11:08.500 Allah is one who needs no introduction
01:11:09.860 Okay
01:11:10.400 Who am I talking to?
01:11:11.200 Am I talking to an atheist?
01:11:12.300 Am I talking to a Christian?
01:11:13.100 Who am I talking to?
01:11:13.960 A non-Muslim
01:11:14.800 A non-Muslim that
01:11:15.840 Wasn't introduced to Islam
01:11:17.520 They hear this word Allah
01:11:18.880 Who is Allah?
01:11:20.560 Who is this Allah
01:11:21.360 That the Muslims speak of?
01:11:22.420 Okay
01:11:22.580 So I'll take you through
01:11:23.700 The way the Quran does this
01:11:24.940 Yeah
01:11:25.740 How the Quran
01:11:26.920 Introduces Allah to you
01:11:29.240 Allah said
01:11:30.080 Allah
01:11:30.360 Let me not even say it in Arabic
01:11:34.300 Let me just give you the translation
01:11:35.420 Allah said
01:11:36.300 Allah is the one
01:11:37.340 Who created the heavens and the earth
01:11:39.640 So that you can get to know Him
01:11:42.400 And specifically He says
01:11:45.040 He created the heavens and the earth
01:11:46.100 So you can get to know two things
01:11:47.420 About Him
01:11:48.020 So you can know that He has knowledge of everything
01:11:52.100 And that you can know He has ability
01:11:53.640 And power over everything
01:11:54.920 So Allah is saying to you
01:11:56.620 If you look at the universe
01:11:57.740 And you look at earth
01:11:59.780 And you look at the human beings
01:12:01.560 You look inside the mirror
01:12:02.880 You look at yourself
01:12:04.620 You're going to learn two things
01:12:05.780 You're going to learn
01:12:07.700 That Allah
01:12:08.580 Has knowledge of everything
01:12:10.420 And you're going to learn
01:12:11.860 That He has ability over everything
01:12:13.640 So how do we come to that conclusion?
01:12:16.000 Oh it's very simple
01:12:16.680 When I look at the universe
01:12:17.480 I see design
01:12:18.120 I see intelligence
01:12:19.240 I see intelligence
01:12:20.740 People talk about evolution, right?
01:12:23.300 So we evolved
01:12:23.960 It's not intelligent design
01:12:25.020 I said if you believe evolution
01:12:27.360 If you believe in the evolutionary process
01:12:30.220 Evolution is what got us
01:12:31.360 To where we are today
01:12:31.960 Evolution is a proof of Allah's existence
01:12:34.780 I'll tell you why
01:12:35.360 Because evolution they say
01:12:37.340 It's probability, right?
01:12:39.060 But it's not probability
01:12:40.000 It's a specific type of probability
01:12:42.300 It's called specified probability
01:12:43.600 For example
01:12:45.100 For human beings to come
01:12:48.220 Together in the way that we are
01:12:49.780 And function in the way that we are
01:12:50.900 It's not just random
01:12:51.840 It's not just
01:12:52.900 It's not like
01:12:54.660 Having 100 balls in a bag
01:12:56.400 And 50 of them are white
01:12:58.960 And 50 of them are black
01:12:59.900 The chances of getting
01:13:00.860 One white ball is
01:13:02.660 Is one out of two
01:13:04.120 Right?
01:13:05.120 No sorry
01:13:05.420 It's one out of one, right?
01:13:07.240 One
01:13:07.440 One is one out of one
01:13:08.960 It's not like that
01:13:09.900 Specified probably
01:13:10.840 It's a bit more complex
01:13:11.680 Like for example
01:13:12.640 They did an experiment
01:13:13.460 In one of the universities in England
01:13:15.880 Where they got
01:13:16.260 They said how long would it take
01:13:17.440 For a monkey
01:13:18.320 Who was smacking his hand on the keyboard
01:13:20.260 To write the sentence
01:13:21.660 To be or not to be
01:13:22.340 Because it's random, right?
01:13:23.380 He's just
01:13:23.860 With his hand
01:13:24.320 Just smacking the keyboard
01:13:25.300 Random
01:13:26.460 He's randomly hitting letters
01:13:27.700 So how long would it take
01:13:28.920 Before he was
01:13:29.500 Before he writes
01:13:30.680 To be or not to be?
01:13:34.520 They said 20 billion plus years
01:13:36.360 That's the probability
01:13:37.320 Because you're taking into account
01:13:39.280 Grammar
01:13:39.780 Eloquence
01:13:40.600 Spelling
01:13:41.260 Sentence structure
01:13:42.280 And not only that
01:13:43.020 On the keyboard
01:13:43.900 The words are in different places, right?
01:13:45.520 So to be or not to be
01:13:46.480 I have to move my hands around
01:13:47.780 In a certain way
01:13:48.360 Where when I'm smacking my hands
01:13:49.520 On the keyboard
01:13:49.960 I'm consistently just hitting
01:13:51.540 The same numbers
01:13:52.560 Right?
01:13:53.980 So the same letters
01:13:54.780 But to be able to hit
01:13:55.560 Letters that are slightly out
01:13:56.640 That probability decreases
01:13:58.000 So to specify probability
01:14:00.680 Is harder
01:14:01.540 So in order for a monkey
01:14:03.700 To just randomly hit
01:14:05.440 The keyboard
01:14:06.700 Every day
01:14:07.600 The chance of him
01:14:08.720 Getting to be or not to be
01:14:09.860 Written on the screen
01:14:10.480 Is 20 billion plus years
01:14:11.780 This universe
01:14:13.180 They say
01:14:14.200 Has only existed
01:14:15.980 For a few billion years
01:14:16.820 This earth has only been around
01:14:17.860 For a few billion years
01:14:18.680 But they want you to believe
01:14:19.940 All of this
01:14:21.060 Evolved in that time
01:14:22.940 If it did
01:14:24.120 It was a miracle
01:14:25.060 It was a miracle
01:14:26.680 If it did in that way
01:14:28.580 With that much speed
01:14:29.560 Right?
01:14:30.700 Because if it was evolution
01:14:31.780 It was just pure probability
01:14:32.700 Bro
01:14:33.620 It would be
01:14:34.440 For way longer
01:14:35.220 So in a sense
01:14:35.960 We went off
01:14:36.320 We got a bit complicated
01:14:37.160 Let's bring it back
01:14:37.780 The point that I mentioned is
01:14:38.840 I like that analogy
01:14:39.580 Yeah you like that right?
01:14:40.880 But to keep it simple
01:14:42.100 Bro you see intelligent design
01:14:43.480 You see order
01:14:44.180 Right?
01:14:44.840 I don't think anyone
01:14:45.300 Deny that
01:14:45.740 You see intelligent design
01:14:47.320 So okay
01:14:48.020 Where did that
01:14:49.040 Intelligence come from?
01:14:50.740 Because intelligence
01:14:51.380 Doesn't come from ignorance
01:14:52.320 It has to come from
01:14:53.900 An intelligent source
01:14:54.700 Likewise
01:14:55.960 In the universe
01:14:56.760 We see
01:14:57.220 We see power
01:14:58.460 What type of power
01:14:59.920 Do we see?
01:15:00.380 If I split an atom
01:15:01.040 What happens?
01:15:02.260 If I take an atom
01:15:02.820 I split it
01:15:03.280 The whole world explodes
01:15:04.260 Right?
01:15:04.520 There's a massive
01:15:05.280 Release of energy
01:15:05.940 How many atoms
01:15:06.860 Are there in the universe?
01:15:08.420 Trillions
01:15:08.780 Trillions
01:15:09.900 Trillions
01:15:10.340 Can't count right?
01:15:12.140 Look at all the power
01:15:13.040 That's in the universe
01:15:13.820 Where did that power come from?
01:15:15.360 Can power come from
01:15:16.260 An absence of power?
01:15:19.100 Can power come from
01:15:20.200 Absence of power?
01:15:21.100 It has to come from power
01:15:22.100 It has to come from strength
01:15:23.420 Ability
01:15:24.140 It has to come from ability
01:15:24.960 So just by looking at the universe
01:15:26.720 I can say
01:15:27.540 Okay cool
01:15:27.940 I don't know
01:15:28.660 I don't know God
01:15:30.780 I don't know much about who brought me here
01:15:32.680 But I can know two things
01:15:33.940 That whatever caused us to come to existence
01:15:36.860 Had to have knowledge
01:15:38.020 Had to have ability
01:15:39.500 The moment I've agreed that
01:15:42.080 Whatever brought me here
01:15:42.960 Had to have knowledge
01:15:43.440 Had to have ability
01:15:44.020 Okay
01:15:45.040 Knowledge shows me a few things
01:15:46.440 It shows wisdom
01:15:47.080 If you're intelligent
01:15:48.800 It means you have wisdom
01:15:49.480 If you're intelligent
01:15:50.340 It means you have intent
01:15:51.240 Intent
01:15:52.360 You have intent
01:15:53.620 You do things for a reason
01:15:55.160 So then okay
01:15:56.580 So whoever placed me here
01:15:57.980 With this intelligent design
01:15:59.780 Had to have knowledge
01:16:01.340 To design me
01:16:02.240 Had to have ability
01:16:02.880 To bring me into existence
01:16:04.840 Had to have a reason
01:16:07.740 Here
01:16:08.680 There was intent
01:16:09.540 Intent shows wisdom
01:16:10.900 So there's
01:16:11.880 A wisdom behind
01:16:12.800 Why I'm here
01:16:13.440 So all of these things
01:16:14.880 Start popping into my
01:16:15.960 Okay well why am I here
01:16:17.060 Do you understand
01:16:17.800 So you can come to all these conclusions
01:16:19.760 About Allah
01:16:20.260 Just by using your
01:16:21.140 Your mind
01:16:21.760 And reflecting over the universe
01:16:23.640 So I say
01:16:24.900 Allah is the one
01:16:25.580 Who brought you here
01:16:26.380 He's the one who created you
01:16:27.920 You didn't come from random
01:16:29.140 You didn't come from non-existence
01:16:30.760 Right
01:16:30.980 Even Allah just is in the Quran
01:16:32.200 أَمْ خُلِقُوا مِنِ غَيْلِ شَيْنَ أَمْهُمَ الْخَالِقُونَ
01:16:35.020 Were they created from nothing
01:16:36.540 Or did they
01:16:38.200 Create themselves
01:16:39.780 But you can't
01:16:41.280 Come from nothing
01:16:42.040 That's foolish
01:16:42.820 Nothing only brings about
01:16:44.080 Nothing
01:16:45.180 And I can't create myself
01:16:46.740 Because a woman
01:16:47.360 Can't give birth to herself
01:16:48.380 Imagine
01:16:49.600 Imagine
01:16:50.360 Imagine a woman
01:16:52.200 Giving birth to herself
01:16:52.880 Is that possible
01:16:53.360 Because in order to create myself
01:16:55.380 I have to exist
01:16:56.040 And not exist at the same time
01:16:56.860 Nowadays there's probably
01:16:57.800 Some LGBT liberal people
01:16:59.020 That would argue that
01:16:59.840 Okay let me
01:17:01.140 There's the one thing
01:17:02.060 They can't argue
01:17:02.560 In order to create myself
01:17:04.340 In order to bring myself
01:17:05.960 Into existence
01:17:06.520 I have to exist
01:17:07.240 And not exist at the same time
01:17:08.320 Impossibility
01:17:09.340 So then the only conclusion
01:17:10.560 Is we had to come from somewhere
01:17:11.660 So where did we come from
01:17:13.280 Who is that
01:17:13.980 Or what is that thing
01:17:15.400 By looking at the universe
01:17:17.120 Our understanding
01:17:18.360 Is knowledge
01:17:19.420 Our understanding
01:17:20.380 Is design
01:17:21.280 Is ability
01:17:21.780 So that shows
01:17:22.500 That I had to come from
01:17:23.380 One who had knowledge
01:17:24.880 One who had ability
01:17:25.920 And then like that bro
01:17:27.040 The rest is
01:17:28.120 Just
01:17:28.800 That's just the beginning
01:17:30.060 I see why they call
01:17:31.420 The devil man
01:17:32.180 What's the correct way
01:17:38.200 To speak to Allah
01:17:38.960 What's the right way
01:17:39.700 To ask him for things
01:17:40.640 And be able to
01:17:42.180 Communicate with him
01:17:42.980 That's something that
01:17:44.260 This Ramadan
01:17:45.100 I've been always thinking about
01:17:46.260 Every time that we
01:17:47.060 We go for prayer
01:17:48.480 I'm reanalyzing
01:17:50.140 The correct way
01:17:50.860 To ask for things
01:17:51.580 And try to remove
01:17:52.720 All the things
01:17:53.100 That I'm asking for
01:17:53.880 That appeal to the dunya
01:17:55.640 You know
01:17:56.400 Things that will satisfy
01:17:57.520 Things that I want right now
01:17:58.780 I think about
01:18:00.260 When I ask something
01:18:01.560 The reason why
01:18:02.240 I'm asking for this
01:18:02.980 Is it to get closer to God
01:18:04.380 Or is it because
01:18:05.300 I want something
01:18:05.960 In this life for right now
01:18:07.220 That's a beautiful question
01:18:08.000 Allah
01:18:08.160 JazakAllah
01:18:08.520 May Allah
01:18:08.880 Bissi Ameen
01:18:09.400 So look
01:18:10.100 What we have to ask ourselves
01:18:11.320 Is what's the most important
01:18:12.260 Thing to ask for
01:18:13.260 And that's guidance
01:18:14.680 Which is why
01:18:15.820 Surah Al-Fatiha
01:18:16.620 Is a dua
01:18:18.200 Is a prayer
01:18:19.100 And in the prayer
01:18:20.640 What is the thing
01:18:21.180 You're asking for
01:18:21.700 Is guidance
01:18:22.220 So guidance
01:18:23.680 Is the most important thing
01:18:24.760 And that's why
01:18:25.320 If I can get this message across
01:18:27.120 If there's any Muslims
01:18:27.720 That are listening
01:18:28.080 Even if you're a non-Muslim
01:18:29.220 And you're listening
01:18:29.700 Pay attention
01:18:30.580 Just ask for guidance
01:18:31.880 Whoever
01:18:32.300 If you believe
01:18:33.640 If you're a person
01:18:35.640 Who believes
01:18:36.180 That there is a higher power
01:18:37.420 If you believe
01:18:38.500 That there is a creator
01:18:39.220 There is some greatness
01:18:41.260 Out there
01:18:41.780 Just turn
01:18:43.140 To that one
01:18:44.020 And say guide
01:18:44.920 And ask regularly
01:18:46.640 Just say guide me
01:18:48.180 And I'll tell you something
01:18:49.200 If you're sincere
01:18:49.860 You'll be guided
01:18:50.920 There's no two ways about it
01:18:52.340 There's no two ways about it
01:18:53.740 If you ask
01:18:54.360 You shall receive
01:18:55.180 You understand
01:18:56.060 Isn't that a Christian sign
01:18:57.720 I don't know bro
01:18:59.200 But it's true though
01:18:59.920 Sometimes
01:19:03.280 If someone speaks the truth
01:19:04.400 The prophet said
01:19:05.020 The truth is the lost property
01:19:07.600 Of the believer
01:19:08.080 So there's a saying
01:19:09.540 In the bible
01:19:10.180 That I like
01:19:10.660 They say
01:19:11.420 The devil makes
01:19:12.080 Work for idle hands
01:19:13.360 That's true
01:19:14.020 Right
01:19:14.440 That's true
01:19:15.100 The idle mind
01:19:16.360 Is the devil's playground
01:19:17.080 Right
01:19:17.380 Is that what it is
01:19:18.260 I think so
01:19:18.820 I like that quote
01:19:20.380 But of course
01:19:21.340 You know what I'm saying
01:19:21.820 Yeah the truth
01:19:22.700 Is the lost property
01:19:23.600 Of the believer
01:19:24.080 So yeah
01:19:26.820 So guidance
01:19:28.560 Is the most important
01:19:29.300 Thing to ask
01:19:29.780 I'm glad you say that
01:19:31.560 Because that's like
01:19:32.160 The only conclusion
01:19:32.900 That I've come to
01:19:33.680 Is the right thing
01:19:34.440 To ask for
01:19:35.020 I'll think about like
01:19:36.180 You know
01:19:36.500 Protection for my family
01:19:37.740 Or if like
01:19:38.200 There's something going on
01:19:39.040 With a family
01:19:39.640 Across the world
01:19:40.420 Can this problem be fixed
01:19:41.940 Can this be fixed
01:19:42.760 Can I have this
01:19:43.700 Can I have that
01:19:44.360 And then it seems all
01:19:45.600 Futile
01:19:46.340 It just seems simple
01:19:47.720 To ask for that
01:19:48.640 It really seems like
01:19:49.320 The ultimate thing
01:19:50.020 That I could
01:19:50.380 The only thing
01:19:50.940 I should ask for
01:19:51.520 Is for strength
01:19:52.580 And for guidance
01:19:53.160 Yeah yeah yeah
01:19:54.260 So I was
01:19:55.140 Is there anything wrong
01:19:56.000 With asking
01:19:56.560 No
01:19:56.840 No no at all
01:19:57.840 And here's
01:19:58.960 I'm going to show you
01:19:59.380 I'm going to show you
01:20:00.880 Something deep
01:20:01.400 Suleiman
01:20:02.880 Prophet Solomon
01:20:03.540 King Solomon
01:20:04.920 Right
01:20:05.180 Prophet Solomon
01:20:05.780 He had horses
01:20:08.360 He had beautiful horses
01:20:10.580 And when he had
01:20:12.440 These beautiful horses
01:20:13.240 One day they distracted him
01:20:14.360 From prayer
01:20:14.780 One day what did they do
01:20:17.080 They distracted him from
01:20:17.980 From prayer
01:20:19.260 Just like women
01:20:20.200 So
01:20:21.440 You know what he did
01:20:22.500 When he repented
01:20:23.240 He said
01:20:24.740 Allah give me a
01:20:25.460 He said
01:20:25.980 I repent to you
01:20:27.100 And I ask you
01:20:29.240 For a kingdom
01:20:29.860 A likes of which
01:20:31.760 No one else has seen before
01:20:32.660 And no one else
01:20:34.060 Will ever have after me
01:20:34.900 That's pretty strange
01:20:36.420 You make a mistake
01:20:37.880 You turn back to Allah
01:20:38.920 But you ask for something
01:20:39.900 Even more than what you have
01:20:42.060 He was asking
01:20:43.640 So he wanted
01:20:44.680 He wanted to receive
01:20:45.540 This great gift
01:20:46.200 And say Allah
01:20:47.500 I'm going to be
01:20:48.200 Because he had
01:20:48.860 He had the horses
01:20:49.420 Which he maybe felt
01:20:51.020 He wasn't grateful enough for
01:20:52.340 Give me something
01:20:54.080 Better than the horses
01:20:54.900 But this time
01:20:55.460 I'm going to show you
01:20:55.960 Gratitude
01:20:56.300 That's a good method
01:20:58.900 I mean was it
01:20:59.880 Did it work
01:21:00.320 Yeah
01:21:01.340 And you know
01:21:03.000 What's beautiful
01:21:03.380 Because yesterday
01:21:04.060 In the Salah
01:21:04.680 The Imam was reciting
01:21:06.120 The story of Prophet Solomon
01:21:07.140 His whole story
01:21:08.620 Is just gratefulness
01:21:09.460 His whole story
01:21:10.580 Is just
01:21:10.980 Gratitude
01:21:12.620 His whole story
01:21:13.500 Is like for example
01:21:14.560 He was walking with his army
01:21:16.460 And he heard an aunt speak
01:21:18.500 Allah gave him the ability
01:21:19.320 To hear what the animals
01:21:19.960 Are saying
01:21:20.300 So the aunt says
01:21:21.480 His people
01:21:21.960 People go in
01:21:22.820 Before Solomon
01:21:23.420 And his army crush you
01:21:24.460 So when he heard that
01:21:25.960 He said
01:21:26.700 My lord
01:21:28.640 Has what
01:21:29.380 My lord
01:21:31.420 Give me the ability
01:21:31.940 To be grateful to
01:21:32.600 Whenever he saw
01:21:34.120 A great gift
01:21:34.700 He said
01:21:34.940 I can hear the animals
01:21:36.680 Bro
01:21:37.000 Let me be grateful
01:21:37.680 Right after that
01:21:39.140 The queen of Sheba
01:21:41.140 He wanted to
01:21:42.840 Bring her to Islam
01:21:44.000 So she had a throne
01:21:45.440 So
01:21:46.460 The jinn used to be
01:21:47.700 Underneath him
01:21:48.320 Right
01:21:48.840 So he said
01:21:49.840 Who's going to bring me
01:21:51.200 Her throne
01:21:51.520 And one of the jinn
01:21:52.720 Said I'll bring you
01:21:53.320 The throne
01:21:53.640 Before you
01:21:54.240 Before you blink your eye
01:21:55.340 So as soon as
01:21:56.580 The throne was brought
01:21:57.360 He said
01:21:58.080 My lord has done this
01:21:59.560 To see if I'm going to
01:22:00.280 Be grateful
01:22:00.660 Or I'm going to be
01:22:01.140 Ungrateful
01:22:01.520 So every time
01:22:03.280 The way the believer
01:22:04.460 Sees it
01:22:04.880 Oh I just made some money
01:22:05.800 My lord's testing me
01:22:07.260 Will I be grateful
01:22:07.880 Okay he just got married
01:22:09.840 My lord's testing me
01:22:10.900 Will I be grateful
01:22:11.540 Okay
01:22:12.860 Okay
01:22:14.580 This just happened
01:22:15.560 Okay will I be grateful
01:22:17.080 And here's the thing
01:22:18.800 Every time you're grateful
01:22:19.740 Here's the hack
01:22:20.900 Allah said
01:22:21.740 If you're grateful
01:22:25.540 I will give you more
01:22:26.840 There's no reason
01:22:28.680 To hold it back right
01:22:29.460 If you're grateful
01:22:30.040 I'll give you more
01:22:30.680 And that's the life hack bro
01:22:32.360 You can go to the school
01:22:33.660 Hard knock
01:22:34.480 So you can go to the school
01:22:35.160 Of gratitude
01:22:35.620 So long as you're grateful
01:22:37.460 You will just keep receiving
01:22:39.320 Receiving
01:22:39.700 Receiving
01:22:40.040 So
01:22:40.740 Suleiman would ask
01:22:42.760 But he asked for a kingdom
01:22:43.720 You can't ask for
01:22:46.000 Something that's more
01:22:46.760 Dunia than that
01:22:47.320 But here's the thing
01:22:48.220 It was for
01:22:50.380 It was for
01:22:51.160 It was for a godly purpose
01:22:52.780 It wasn't a kingdom
01:22:54.460 For a hedonistic purpose
01:22:56.140 For let me just have a kingdom
01:22:57.740 So I can just have a kingdom
01:22:58.960 Let me have a kingdom
01:23:02.140 So I can spread your
01:23:03.520 Deen
01:23:04.340 So I can spread Islam
01:23:05.660 Because remember
01:23:06.420 When you got that kingdom
01:23:07.140 He straight away looked
01:23:08.440 At the queen of Sheba
01:23:09.140 He said listen
01:23:09.580 You look better
01:23:09.940 Become Muslim
01:23:10.480 Come to me as a Muslim
01:23:13.140 Otherwise we're going to
01:23:14.100 Get cracking
01:23:14.580 So he's spreading Islam
01:23:16.040 When Allah gave him that kingdom
01:23:16.900 He used it for gratitude
01:23:17.920 So
01:23:18.900 You can ask for great things
01:23:22.120 Children
01:23:22.800 Like
01:23:23.420 Zakariya
01:23:24.200 The prophet Zakariya
01:23:25.160 Right
01:23:25.380 Who was the father of
01:23:26.960 Zechariah
01:23:29.740 Zechariah
01:23:30.340 Zechariah
01:23:30.780 Right
01:23:30.940 And Yahya
01:23:32.040 They call him
01:23:32.520 John
01:23:33.640 John
01:23:33.960 John
01:23:34.420 John the Baptist
01:23:35.260 Right
01:23:35.500 So
01:23:36.120 But he's old
01:23:37.260 And this is one of the most
01:23:39.020 Beautiful surahs in the Quran
01:23:40.000 It touches me
01:23:40.660 But the way he made du'a to Allah
01:23:42.460 And Allah
01:23:42.980 Allah describes
01:23:43.940 The way he made du'a
01:23:45.260 Humble
01:23:46.060 Humble
01:23:46.580 Begging Allah
01:23:47.440 So Allah give me a son
01:23:48.580 But why
01:23:49.820 Why
01:23:50.960 So I can have someone
01:23:53.180 That will inherit
01:23:54.060 Me as a prophet
01:23:55.260 We want sons
01:23:56.880 So they can inherit
01:23:57.940 Our legacy
01:23:58.740 But what's your
01:24:00.360 What benefit
01:24:01.180 Is your legacy bro
01:24:02.180 But this was a legacy
01:24:04.120 Of prophethood
01:24:04.920 So he was asking
01:24:06.700 For a son
01:24:07.160 For that reason
01:24:07.800 But you want to
01:24:08.780 Marry multiple women
01:24:09.880 The prophet said
01:24:11.280 Inshallah
01:24:11.660 The prophet said
01:24:12.700 Have children
01:24:13.340 Have many children
01:24:14.680 You know why
01:24:15.120 So I can have the greatest
01:24:22.600 Humble
01:24:22.900 On the day of judgment
01:24:23.600 Have kids with the intention
01:24:25.240 Of what
01:24:25.680 So you get married
01:24:27.240 With the intention
01:24:27.660 Of having
01:24:28.000 Many children
01:24:29.060 So look
01:24:30.540 Every dunya thing
01:24:31.480 You run after
01:24:32.080 Has what
01:24:32.720 Has a divine
01:24:34.040 Purpose
01:24:35.640 I can have a divine purpose
01:24:36.520 Like one of my objectives
01:24:37.380 Is over the next 10 years
01:24:38.260 And I want to help
01:24:39.920 Bring about
01:24:41.220 1,000 Muslim millionaires
01:24:43.180 Inshallah
01:24:44.000 Inshallah
01:24:44.440 But what's my purpose
01:24:45.120 I want righteous people
01:24:47.360 To have money in their hands
01:24:48.280 That's a billion
01:24:48.920 Yeah
01:24:49.840 I want righteous people
01:24:52.360 To have money in their hands
01:24:53.240 Because when money
01:24:54.320 Is in their hands
01:24:54.800 Of righteous people
01:24:55.500 They will do righteous things
01:24:56.940 That's my goal
01:24:58.720 Build massaging
01:24:59.860 Feed the poor
01:25:01.240 Take care of the orphan
01:25:03.640 Right
01:25:04.800 Create
01:25:06.240 Like create
01:25:07.060 Platforms
01:25:08.880 For us
01:25:09.620 So we don't
01:25:10.140 Get cancelled
01:25:10.780 You know what I'm saying
01:25:11.980 So all of these things
01:25:13.840 Money benefits
01:25:14.660 So that's my goal
01:25:15.580 So before I was giving
01:25:16.940 Dawah to the guys
01:25:17.700 On the streets
01:25:18.100 Now I'm here
01:25:18.640 My Dawah is to
01:25:20.300 Businessmen
01:25:20.820 My Dawah is to
01:25:22.000 CC executives
01:25:22.960 Now I'm speaking to
01:25:24.740 Bro like
01:25:26.000 I'm not even trying
01:25:26.900 To give Dawah
01:25:27.280 To celebrities
01:25:27.740 But wearing a masjid
01:25:29.280 And praying next to
01:25:31.920 Like some big celebrity
01:25:33.780 I won't mention names
01:25:34.660 But the point is that
01:25:35.980 I'm not even chasing after it
01:25:37.440 But it's coming
01:25:37.880 So my thing is
01:25:38.580 Now I'm trying to give Dawah
01:25:39.500 To that level
01:25:40.900 So that they can
01:25:42.660 Influence their people
01:25:44.180 Like there's one brother
01:25:44.900 I know
01:25:45.120 He's a venture capitalist
01:25:47.280 Right
01:25:47.560 So he manages
01:25:49.720 He's part of an
01:25:51.480 Investment firm
01:25:52.060 120 mil right
01:25:53.280 That's their portfolio
01:25:54.040 As a company
01:25:54.740 So 120 mil bro
01:25:56.600 That's crazy money
01:25:57.160 So I said to him
01:25:58.360 It's okay
01:25:58.720 I mean yeah
01:25:59.620 It's alright
01:26:00.440 It's alright
01:26:00.940 You're getting 20 million
01:26:02.680 A year
01:26:03.160 A couple Bugatti
01:26:05.060 Is just a couple
01:26:06.020 A couple
01:26:06.520 But this brother
01:26:07.800 If I accepted that deal
01:26:08.740 I said to him
01:26:10.640 Listen bro
01:26:11.120 I said to him
01:26:12.700 Listen bro
01:26:13.220 Why do you still
01:26:14.640 Do what you do
01:26:15.200 Why
01:26:16.340 You've got crazy money bro
01:26:18.440 There's no need now
01:26:19.060 He said you know why bro
01:26:20.700 Because I
01:26:21.800 I'm one of the very few people
01:26:25.240 That some of the biggest CEOs
01:26:27.000 In the world
01:26:27.500 Will actually sit down
01:26:28.620 And listen to
01:26:29.860 And these guys
01:26:31.760 Are going to be some of the biggest
01:26:32.640 And most richest people
01:26:33.440 In the world
01:26:33.740 Even before
01:26:34.140 The most influential people
01:26:35.000 Because when we have our
01:26:36.080 Quarterly meetings
01:26:36.820 And they tell me about
01:26:38.440 This is up and that's down
01:26:39.520 Then I ask him bro
01:26:40.920 How's your Iman
01:26:41.460 And they're like
01:26:43.780 What Iman
01:26:44.280 He said yeah bro
01:26:44.980 How's your Iman
01:26:45.680 And they're like
01:26:47.640 It's kind of down
01:26:48.560 I said okay
01:26:49.420 Let's go pray then
01:26:50.020 He said bro
01:26:51.400 I would tell CEOs
01:26:52.880 Of companies
01:26:53.460 I would tell boards
01:26:54.280 Of directors
01:26:54.980 Pray your salah
01:26:56.140 Pray your prayer
01:26:57.520 Yes sir
01:26:59.080 He goes
01:27:00.580 I'm not even passionate
01:27:01.620 Eloquent with my speech
01:27:02.540 Sometimes I'll even tell him
01:27:03.620 Hadith
01:27:03.920 I just say pray
01:27:04.480 He said when they're making
01:27:05.940 Like big decisions
01:27:06.820 Strategy decisions
01:27:07.600 What should we do
01:27:08.140 What should we not do
01:27:08.840 After we've done that
01:27:10.700 He said okay
01:27:11.160 Let's do istikhara
01:27:11.780 Istikhara is a prayer
01:27:12.600 Where you seek help
01:27:13.720 From Allah
01:27:14.140 For your decision making
01:27:15.140 It's a special prayer
01:27:16.420 For decision making
01:27:17.120 They're like what
01:27:18.340 Yeah well let's consult
01:27:19.240 The Lord bro
01:27:19.880 He said that's why
01:27:21.240 He goes I don't do it
01:27:21.960 For the money now
01:27:22.580 I do it
01:27:23.740 So I can give that
01:27:24.340 To those people
01:27:24.800 So imagine
01:27:26.280 When you've got
01:27:26.880 When you've got a CEO
01:27:27.700 Of a company
01:27:28.300 He's not going to take
01:27:29.540 No riba
01:27:29.940 He's not going to take haram
01:27:30.800 He's not going to
01:27:31.720 Engage no haram deals
01:27:32.940 No usury
01:27:33.680 No usury right
01:27:34.800 No interest
01:27:35.680 Suddenly suddenly
01:27:36.780 He starts to make sure
01:27:37.760 That he makes the environment
01:27:38.700 Where the free mixing
01:27:40.000 Is little
01:27:40.420 Or it's eliminated
01:27:41.660 If it's not eliminated
01:27:42.360 At least it's less
01:27:43.080 He starts to make it easier
01:27:44.780 For people to pray
01:27:45.420 Not just that the culture spreads
01:27:47.020 Etc etc etc
01:27:48.220 And it sprinkles down
01:27:49.580 You know what I'm saying
01:27:50.060 So the thing is
01:27:51.560 You want to give that
01:27:52.080 To people at the top
01:27:52.820 But that's not forgetting
01:27:53.780 The guys at the bottom
01:27:54.420 Because that's what
01:27:55.060 The prophet would do
01:27:55.640 The prophet never forgot
01:27:56.800 The people at the bottom
01:27:57.400 Anyone at the bottom came
01:27:58.820 He's direct attention
01:28:00.120 Yes what do you need
01:28:00.800 As if no one else
01:28:01.880 Existed in the world
01:28:02.480 Except for this poor man
01:28:03.320 Except for this disabled man
01:28:04.640 The prophet was like that
01:28:06.120 But at the same time
01:28:06.860 He was sitting with
01:28:07.600 The tribal leaders
01:28:08.260 Listen
01:28:08.680 Fix up bro
01:28:09.840 Before you go to hell
01:28:10.460 So that's what
01:28:12.840 We're trying to do right now
01:28:14.060 You know what I'm saying
01:28:14.460 You're on the same path
01:28:17.180 Right now Warner
01:28:17.740 Warner's doing the same thing
01:28:18.800 Yeah yeah yeah
01:28:19.340 We're taking a move
01:28:19.860 We're connecting now bro
01:28:21.660 Now I'm saying my guy
01:28:22.860 May Allah make you successful
01:28:23.800 Amin amin amin
01:28:24.720 That's what we need
01:28:25.360 We need brothers
01:28:26.040 You know
01:28:26.480 We need more brothers involved
01:28:28.680 Yeah
01:28:28.900 Listen
01:28:30.840 One of you brothers watching
01:28:32.060 I know
01:28:32.420 And someone chop this up
01:28:33.920 And put this on TikTok
01:28:34.680 Because I know
01:28:35.860 There's some couple
01:28:36.400 Rich brothers
01:28:37.000 That are wrestling right now
01:28:37.860 This new brother
01:28:38.960 Riva brother
01:28:39.740 Gave off a 20 million deal
01:28:42.100 Gambling deal
01:28:43.600 For the sake of Allah
01:28:44.300 And the prophet said
01:28:46.440 If you leave something
01:28:46.960 For the sake of Allah
01:28:47.560 Allah will replace it
01:28:48.280 With something better
01:28:49.040 Someone
01:28:50.420 Come through
01:28:51.760 And show him that
01:28:52.440 Inshallah
01:28:52.720 I know he believes it
01:28:54.740 No no no
01:28:55.820 Don't do it
01:28:56.280 No I know
01:28:57.040 There's someone there
01:28:57.820 Give that money to the poor
01:28:58.920 I want to earn it
01:29:00.240 My own way
01:29:00.740 No no but
01:29:01.480 Give him a deal man
01:29:02.320 Someone in Qatar
01:29:03.040 Someone in Kuwait
01:29:03.840 Someone in Hinn
01:29:04.620 Someone
01:29:05.440 Give him a deal
01:29:06.640 For the sake of Allah
01:29:07.640 And you know what
01:29:10.060 Let's
01:29:10.960 It's halal
01:29:11.580 There's nothing wrong with it
01:29:12.700 Cut this up
01:29:13.360 With the full context
01:29:14.740 You know why
01:29:15.680 Because when that happens
01:29:16.380 Inshallah
01:29:16.720 And you show that
01:29:17.820 And by the way
01:29:18.240 If you have certainty
01:29:19.120 If you have certainty
01:29:20.140 That not the people
01:29:21.380 Not the fact that
01:29:22.440 Someone's gonna cut this up
01:29:23.560 And some rich guy
01:29:24.540 Is gonna see it
01:29:25.180 And give you a deal
01:29:25.840 If you have certainty
01:29:26.980 That Allah
01:29:27.540 Is gonna give this to you
01:29:28.620 Whether it happens
01:29:29.400 Today
01:29:30.540 Tomorrow
01:29:31.100 Ten years from now
01:29:31.980 It will happen
01:29:33.120 If you have the certainty
01:29:33.720 And guess what
01:29:34.400 When you put that out there
01:29:35.660 And say listen
01:29:36.420 You don't hate it on me
01:29:37.600 Look how my Lord
01:29:38.200 Took care of me
01:29:38.760 But what I've come to realize
01:29:39.980 Is that it's not even
01:29:40.800 The real currency
01:29:43.220 Is not even money
01:29:44.200 Yeah
01:29:44.600 It's not
01:29:44.900 So maybe the whole lesson
01:29:46.860 Of rejecting that
01:29:47.580 Was to realize that
01:29:48.500 You shouldn't live for money
01:29:49.560 You shouldn't live for these
01:29:50.380 Worldly things
01:29:51.020 That I don't need that
01:29:52.280 Yeah
01:29:52.540 Sometimes I pray like
01:29:53.580 Okay how is this gonna be
01:29:54.640 Supplemented
01:29:55.860 And maybe it's the realization
01:29:57.300 That I don't need to live
01:29:58.300 For a check
01:29:59.880 That's not the most important thing
01:30:01.800 To go and base my life around
01:30:02.940 100
01:30:03.360 But you know
01:30:04.300 Even if we
01:30:04.840 Even if we don't bring
01:30:07.320 The spiritual element into it
01:30:08.780 And we just stick
01:30:09.540 To the material element
01:30:10.560 There's other currencies
01:30:12.500 Than money
01:30:12.920 For example
01:30:13.660 Your network
01:30:14.920 I was about to say that
01:30:16.280 For example
01:30:16.920 And maybe we can cut this out
01:30:18.420 But
01:30:19.020 I'm not mentioning any specifics
01:30:20.340 But now you've got access
01:30:21.760 To royalty
01:30:22.240 Who can say that
01:30:24.720 Look at your
01:30:25.380 Lord has already rewarded you
01:30:26.720 But who can say
01:30:28.800 I sat down with royalty
01:30:29.900 Like for example
01:30:32.800 I've never met the brother
01:30:33.720 But from what I've seen
01:30:35.180 Seems like
01:30:35.740 Such a lovely brother
01:30:36.540 Brother Tam Khan
01:30:37.240 MashaAllah
01:30:37.600 You guys been linking up
01:30:38.340 Great guy
01:30:38.680 Look at that
01:30:39.660 You just pull up
01:30:41.560 Here you've got a guy
01:30:42.520 He's taking care of you
01:30:43.380 Showing you round food
01:30:44.420 I saw
01:30:44.960 I'm trying to go to his restaurant
01:30:46.200 I saw that plow
01:30:46.920 Allah my baby
01:30:47.620 MashaAllah
01:30:48.180 But look at that
01:30:49.620 We've been saying
01:30:50.600 That the whole trip
01:30:51.100 That's more valuable
01:30:52.220 Than having the money
01:30:53.020 That would be able
01:30:53.600 To pay for it
01:30:54.460 100%
01:30:54.840 I can have the gambling money
01:30:55.860 And then pay for that same thing
01:30:57.020 And then it ends up being
01:30:57.920 The same amount spent
01:30:58.820 What I gave up
01:30:59.920 I'm able to have people around
01:31:01.440 That respect you
01:31:02.240 And that is an equal currency
01:31:03.900 To the money
01:31:04.360 And I'll tell you something great
01:31:05.260 You know when people
01:31:05.980 Really really respect you
01:31:07.080 And love you
01:31:07.460 Is when you don't need
01:31:08.860 What's in their hands
01:31:09.520 The prophet actually
01:31:10.560 Actually said
01:31:13.080 If you don't need
01:31:17.140 What's in the people's hands
01:31:17.860 The people will love you
01:31:19.260 One of the reasons
01:31:21.900 Why a lot of the brothers
01:31:22.600 Alhamdulillah
01:31:23.360 That I'm around now
01:31:24.580 And after Allah
01:31:26.260 I was just
01:31:26.640 Subhanahu wa ta'ala
01:31:29.480 I don't say that
01:31:32.300 As a false sense
01:31:33.040 Of humility
01:31:34.160 Allah know
01:31:35.180 Where I come from
01:31:35.860 And I know
01:31:36.100 I'm not here with that
01:31:36.540 But now
01:31:37.780 Alhamdulillah
01:31:38.220 We look at each other
01:31:39.980 How is it
01:31:42.660 I'm sitting next to
01:31:43.200 This guy right here
01:31:43.980 How is it
01:31:44.640 I'm sitting next to that guy
01:31:45.420 Allah honoured us
01:31:46.020 But one of the reasons
01:31:48.200 I feel that Allah
01:31:49.020 Did that for me
01:31:49.640 Is because I sit next to them
01:31:50.880 And they know
01:31:51.320 I don't need
01:31:51.660 What's in their pocket
01:31:52.240 I actually had a brother
01:31:53.320 Come to me
01:31:54.000 He said
01:31:54.380 I want to give you money
01:31:55.240 But Allah
01:31:56.660 Brother who's very wealthy
01:31:58.620 He's running
01:31:59.200 A massive project right now
01:32:01.480 Like I'm
01:32:02.360 And I won't mention
01:32:03.740 Just so I don't
01:32:04.300 Because his project's online
01:32:05.760 And people connect the dots
01:32:06.900 I don't want him to
01:32:07.420 I don't think I'm talking about him
01:32:09.140 You know in any certain way
01:32:09.940 But his brother was like
01:32:10.860 Bro let me just give you the money
01:32:11.840 Bro
01:32:12.060 I said I don't want the money
01:32:13.460 MashaAllah
01:32:14.460 He said no
01:32:15.220 But use it for that
01:32:15.920 I said I don't need your money
01:32:16.840 For that
01:32:17.100 That's what I like to hear
01:32:18.100 Yeah so I do my that
01:32:19.040 On myself bro
01:32:19.640 Respect
01:32:20.040 That's what it's all about
01:32:21.660 But you know what it is
01:32:22.640 I know he saw that
01:32:23.720 And he thought okay
01:32:24.980 Let me double it
01:32:26.160 No but it's just
01:32:29.560 It's just
01:32:30.260 Like that's so hard
01:32:31.500 To find in this day and age
01:32:32.580 People are like
01:32:33.780 Rocky
01:32:34.140 He actually doesn't care
01:32:35.100 He actually doesn't care
01:32:36.820 Okay
01:32:37.960 Can't get to him
01:32:39.300 Can't get to him
01:32:40.280 And people respect that bro
01:32:41.440 They actually honour that
01:32:42.940 Because they see
01:32:44.300 A strength in you
01:32:45.560 That they don't even have
01:32:46.840 In themselves
01:32:47.300 Because maybe
01:32:48.740 If they were given
01:32:49.280 That opportunity
01:32:49.760 They would take it
01:32:50.680 You know what I'm saying
01:32:51.860 But we have something
01:32:53.660 That's more valuable
01:32:54.640 Than money as you said
01:32:55.420 It's that contentment
01:32:57.260 And not only that bro
01:32:58.420 If I want money
01:33:00.000 And it's good for me
01:33:02.420 I only know what will come
01:33:04.720 And look
01:33:05.220 I'll give you an example right
01:33:06.360 Right now Abhakar
01:33:07.420 He's a partner
01:33:08.520 Of a car rental company right
01:33:09.560 Can I give a shout out
01:33:11.140 You mind
01:33:11.400 Don't worry man
01:33:12.060 Premier supercars in Dubai
01:33:13.300 If you come here
01:33:14.840 Make sure you check them out
01:33:15.520 Yeah
01:33:15.680 Abhakar
01:33:16.840 Allah I'm fed it
01:33:17.600 So basically
01:33:18.840 It's not even mine
01:33:20.280 I just like to show it off
01:33:21.120 For the brothers
01:33:21.500 Right
01:33:21.880 But basically
01:33:22.620 He's into cars
01:33:24.520 That's his dream
01:33:26.900 That's his passion right
01:33:28.860 I'm not even into cars
01:33:30.000 You know this right
01:33:30.880 You know this about me
01:33:31.480 I'm not even into cars
01:33:32.240 You're sitting in the middle seat
01:33:34.000 In the back seat of the car
01:33:34.840 Yeah
01:33:35.100 Giving dawah in a parking lot
01:33:37.500 Yeah yeah
01:33:37.800 It means nothing to me
01:33:39.140 Just recently
01:33:39.780 I've started to get into cars
01:33:41.380 And I'll tell you why
01:33:41.880 I'll tell you why
01:33:42.220 That's an interesting story as well
01:33:43.280 But I'm not even into cars
01:33:44.360 But actually
01:33:44.800 I've started more
01:33:45.780 Minus a Bugatti maybe
01:33:47.420 Actually Porsche
01:33:48.880 BMW
01:33:50.360 McLaren
01:33:51.620 Taxi McLarens
01:33:53.200 Ferraris
01:33:53.860 Taxi Ferraris
01:33:54.640 Lamborghinis
01:33:55.200 Type of Lamborghinis
01:33:56.160 Rolls Royce
01:33:57.180 Phantom
01:33:57.580 Ghost
01:33:58.360 Dawn
01:33:59.120 Friggin
01:34:00.600 Cullinan
01:34:01.340 I'm always
01:34:02.580 And I've always been in this type of cars
01:34:04.780 I've been in this car when I was broke
01:34:06.380 And I can't stop it
01:34:07.920 I'm always in this type of cars
01:34:09.640 And one day I actually deeped it
01:34:11.640 I actually deeped it
01:34:13.380 There's a hadith of the prophet
01:34:14.300 He said whoever wakes up in the morning
01:34:16.180 And his focus is the akhirah
01:34:18.220 The next life
01:34:18.860 His focus is the day of judgement
01:34:20.140 The real life
01:34:21.040 The dunya will be dragged in
01:34:24.040 Akhwalahi
01:34:26.140 The dunya comes to you
01:34:27.560 When you're not even chasing it
01:34:28.880 I'm pretty sure you weren't chasing royalty
01:34:31.480 Seemed like
01:34:33.560 As you mentioned
01:34:34.100 You wanted to come out here
01:34:34.920 Speak to Muslims
01:34:35.760 Speak to a bunch of Muslims
01:34:37.040 So you can spread some khair
01:34:38.200 To teach people the deed
01:34:39.040 In the month of Ramadan
01:34:39.700 That's why you came
01:34:40.760 Right
01:34:41.160 I can tell you the story
01:34:42.700 It happened completely by accident
01:34:43.980 I couldn't bring my filmer to Mecca
01:34:46.940 Because he's Christian
01:34:47.660 So I was looking for a filmer on the plane
01:34:49.940 And my Instagram got banned that day
01:34:52.980 So I couldn't DM anybody
01:34:53.960 Like looking for us
01:34:54.580 What do I do
01:34:55.160 I was texting my team
01:34:56.400 Like can you message from like
01:34:57.680 The other accounts
01:34:58.680 To try to find a filmer
01:34:59.660 And then some kid came up to me
01:35:01.860 He's like yo I'm a fan
01:35:02.580 Blah blah blah
01:35:02.840 I'm a YouTuber
01:35:03.260 I'm like can you film for me
01:35:04.120 He filmed for me
01:35:04.940 And then he has a friend in Dubai
01:35:06.560 We're in Dubai
01:35:07.140 And then we're able to connect
01:35:08.040 So it literally all happened by chance
01:35:09.700 And also in the holy city of Mecca
01:35:11.040 It was all supposed to happen
01:35:12.980 And great people
01:35:15.700 The access that we have to these people
01:35:18.380 Because people can tell that we're on din
01:35:20.360 And we're trying to give dawah
01:35:21.260 Is different
01:35:22.120 But the key here
01:35:23.160 Is that you're not chasing them
01:35:24.820 It comes to you
01:35:26.280 Yeah
01:35:26.640 Yeah it chases you
01:35:27.720 Exactly
01:35:28.260 It chases you
01:35:28.680 Because the dunya
01:35:29.500 Is like a woman
01:35:31.100 As soon as you give her no attention
01:35:33.320 She wants it
01:35:33.800 100% bro
01:35:34.440 She's craving for you bro
01:35:35.440 Leave her on red
01:35:36.200 There you go
01:35:36.780 Leave the dunya on red
01:35:37.700 I don't know what that means
01:35:40.760 That means when you get a text
01:35:41.800 It says red
01:35:42.580 Because you read the message
01:35:43.440 You put your phone down
01:35:44.280 You don't apply to the dunya
01:35:45.580 You block the dunya
01:35:47.580 You let the dunya double text you
01:35:50.320 You know what you do
01:35:51.000 Triple text you
01:35:51.900 You don't even open it bro
01:35:53.360 Now WhatsApp's got that thing
01:35:55.700 Where you just
01:35:56.120 Click it with your thumb right
01:35:57.780 And it tells you the message
01:35:58.980 That's there
01:35:59.800 Shall I even open it to you bro
01:36:01.200 Yeah yeah
01:36:01.600 I didn't even know that
01:36:02.420 Tell the dunya
01:36:04.700 I didn't even open you baby
01:36:05.660 But it's still trying to sit on my lap
01:36:08.440 And I'll be honest with you
01:36:11.960 Like right now
01:36:12.800 Because I was talking
01:36:14.340 I think you've got a podcast
01:36:15.220 With the CEO cast
01:36:16.060 Brother Raheem right
01:36:16.740 Inshallah
01:36:17.100 He was mentioning
01:36:17.980 Inshallah
01:36:19.020 Yeah Inshallah
01:36:19.540 Yeah possibly
01:36:20.000 So I was doing a podcast
01:36:21.420 And I was telling him bro
01:36:22.180 I'm just having fun
01:36:23.400 I'm just doing me
01:36:25.000 I'm not even
01:36:25.460 I'm not even trying to make the money bro
01:36:27.340 I'm just
01:36:28.140 I have a goal
01:36:28.820 My passion in life
01:36:30.420 Is to bring people back
01:36:31.100 To the deen of Allah
01:36:31.780 And currently I've understood
01:36:33.200 Money is the way to bring people
01:36:34.200 Back to the deen of Allah
01:36:34.980 And I noticed that
01:36:36.100 Right
01:36:36.400 Like
01:36:36.720 One of the reasons
01:36:38.020 I'm starting to now
01:36:38.860 Force myself to get into cars
01:36:40.560 And I actually made a commitment
01:36:42.280 And I can mention this publicly
01:36:43.500 Because I like to create
01:36:44.340 Social contracts
01:36:45.040 So people can check me
01:36:45.760 By the end of the year
01:36:47.600 I'm going to buy a Ferrari
01:36:48.200 Inshallah
01:36:48.600 Or a Lamborghini
01:36:49.480 I'm going to buy some type of car
01:36:50.600 Like that Inshallah
01:36:51.220 And the reason I'm going to do it
01:36:52.420 Is because I realise
01:36:53.020 That when you have that type of stuff
01:36:54.200 You've got access to people
01:36:56.200 And I only care about that person
01:36:58.920 Because I want to give them down
01:37:00.340 And those type of people
01:37:02.480 Usually
01:37:02.980 Have a good
01:37:04.020 One, two, three, four, five
01:37:04.960 Hundred people underneath them
01:37:05.780 So if he comes into his deen
01:37:07.660 It filters
01:37:08.820 I'm not going to lose my soul
01:37:10.600 And I'm not going to
01:37:11.580 Water the religion down
01:37:12.940 And twist the religion
01:37:14.240 And distort the religion
01:37:15.120 Just to get his attention
01:37:15.980 Now to hell with you bro
01:37:17.240 If that's the case
01:37:17.880 I'm going to keep it
01:37:18.620 One hundred percent fresh
01:37:19.820 But I know you like a Ferrari
01:37:21.000 So come take a seat
01:37:22.480 In fact
01:37:23.240 One of the things
01:37:23.640 I was actually thinking
01:37:24.180 If Allah gives me the ability
01:37:25.020 If I had a bunch of cars
01:37:25.960 If I had like twenty cars
01:37:27.080 You know what I would do
01:37:27.620 All day every day
01:37:28.760 You know the people
01:37:29.120 That are flying into the UAE
01:37:30.140 I would just say
01:37:30.580 Take my car for a week bro
01:37:31.720 Just to show them that love
01:37:32.980 Show them that generosity
01:37:33.680 But when you give someone
01:37:34.800 A gift like that
01:37:35.820 Don't worry bro
01:37:36.880 Go drive it around
01:37:37.620 Come have dinner with me though
01:37:39.440 Nah
01:37:39.720 He has to listen bro
01:37:40.720 Reciprocation kicks in right
01:37:42.240 He has to listen
01:37:42.780 Pay attention
01:37:43.380 All right listen
01:37:44.440 Stop the haram
01:37:45.620 Stop this
01:37:46.320 Fix that
01:37:46.860 So it becomes
01:37:47.640 That you use the people's weakness
01:37:49.680 To draw them in
01:37:51.660 To draw them in
01:37:52.320 And then you replace
01:37:54.140 Quick bait
01:37:54.720 Right
01:37:55.420 Right right
01:37:56.320 It's quick bait
01:37:56.780 It's like putting boobs
01:37:57.600 In the thumbnail
01:37:58.140 Without
01:37:59.240 Stop for a look
01:37:59.840 Yeah actually
01:38:00.340 Without actually
01:38:02.240 Without actually doing that
01:38:03.080 Yeah
01:38:03.240 You know Muhammad Ali
01:38:04.900 Said something very similar
01:38:05.900 He said that
01:38:06.860 If I didn't have
01:38:07.640 The fancy watches
01:38:08.640 The fancy cars
01:38:09.560 You guys would not care
01:38:11.000 What I have to say
01:38:11.620 But it's because
01:38:12.720 I have the fancy watches
01:38:13.960 I have the fancy cars
01:38:15.300 I have what you want
01:38:16.900 Now you're willing
01:38:17.940 To hear what I have to say
01:38:19.260 Money talks
01:38:20.500 Yeah money talks
01:38:21.400 Yeah
01:38:21.640 And especially when
01:38:23.700 You can show them
01:38:24.320 Look at this watch
01:38:25.200 I don't need this
01:38:26.720 Look at this car
01:38:26.940 And by the way
01:38:27.500 It doesn't bring me happiness
01:38:28.220 And you can prove it
01:38:29.340 By saying hey take it
01:38:30.260 Take it
01:38:31.520 Take it
01:38:32.360 I don't even need it
01:38:33.020 I'll take it
01:38:33.620 And when I get it
01:38:35.400 Don't worry
01:38:39.240 I said you want to
01:38:39.920 I'm going to remember that
01:38:41.240 If I get
01:38:42.640 I don't want it
01:38:43.660 I'm joking
01:38:44.040 No no no
01:38:44.660 You said it
01:38:45.200 It's on camera now
01:38:45.820 If I remember
01:38:47.740 And I get it
01:38:48.740 And you got to remind me
01:38:49.580 Inshallah
01:38:49.820 Inshallah
01:38:50.300 We'll hook him up
01:38:51.020 We'll hook him up
01:38:51.920 Inshallah
01:38:52.260 Inshallah
01:38:53.160 But yeah man
01:38:55.340 So let me ask you a question
01:38:56.820 So what's your journey now
01:38:58.460 What's your mission
01:38:59.000 Because I feel like
01:38:59.580 You've come to the deen
01:39:00.560 Allah and Barik
01:39:01.100 But like I feel like
01:39:02.220 You got to have
01:39:02.780 Direction
01:39:03.760 You got to have like
01:39:04.460 A direction you're moving in
01:39:06.500 If not you can get lost
01:39:07.600 In the source
01:39:08.060 What other direction
01:39:10.680 Is there to go
01:39:11.140 Besides following the path
01:39:12.360 That God's laid out
01:39:13.080 That's the only direction
01:39:15.160 I see worthwhile
01:39:15.820 Beautiful
01:39:16.420 So here's the
01:39:17.380 Here's the million dollar question
01:39:18.960 Allah
01:39:20.460 Azzawajan
01:39:21.020 Has made it
01:39:24.500 So there are many paths
01:39:25.480 That you can get to him through
01:39:26.360 For example
01:39:29.640 There are seven
01:39:30.520 Gates of paradise
01:39:31.940 Eight gates of paradise
01:39:32.800 And each gate
01:39:34.660 Is for a different
01:39:36.000 Deed
01:39:36.740 For example
01:39:37.220 Fasting
01:39:37.800 Is the gate
01:39:39.160 For people
01:39:39.500 Who really
01:39:39.860 They got
01:39:40.820 They really got
01:39:41.940 Close to Allah
01:39:42.440 By fasting
01:39:42.940 Is the gate
01:39:44.520 For the people
01:39:45.000 Who got close
01:39:46.420 To Allah
01:39:46.700 Through charity
01:39:47.340 Some people
01:39:49.080 Their door
01:39:50.180 Is
01:39:51.480 It's dower
01:39:53.140 I knew you were going to say that
01:39:54.220 Right
01:39:54.420 So the question is
01:39:55.780 You got to ask yourself
01:39:56.620 Okay cool
01:39:57.760 What comes
01:39:59.940 Easiest to me
01:40:01.180 Well we're doing all three right now
01:40:02.480 Allah and Barik right
01:40:03.340 So there's got to be
01:40:04.560 Some base level of everything
01:40:05.620 Thank you for mentioning that
01:40:07.020 Project iftar.org
01:40:08.140 Slash Niko
01:40:08.660 We're giving away
01:40:09.240 Every two dollars
01:40:09.940 Feeds one person
01:40:10.940 So yeah
01:40:11.980 We're doing that for the month of Ramadan
01:40:13.060 We've raised already
01:40:13.680 Thirty thousand dollars
01:40:14.520 This month
01:40:14.840 MashaAllah
01:40:15.300 That's fifteen thousand people
01:40:16.660 That you guys have fed
01:40:17.420 And to give you guys an incentive
01:40:19.260 There's a hadith of the prophet
01:40:20.280 That whoever
01:40:21.640 Helps a fasting person
01:40:23.980 Open his fast
01:40:24.680 Break his fast
01:40:25.300 Number one
01:40:26.180 His sins are forgiven
01:40:26.820 Number two
01:40:27.660 His neck is freed from the hell fire
01:40:29.400 And number three
01:40:30.000 He gets the reward of the fasting person
01:40:31.520 This is easy rewards bro
01:40:34.120 Easy deeds
01:40:34.880 Just give away a couple dollars
01:40:35.820 And feel good
01:40:36.460 But if you're not a Muslim
01:40:38.040 In order to get that reward
01:40:39.220 You have to accept Islam first
01:40:40.240 If you do it without accepting Islam
01:40:41.880 You know
01:40:43.020 Then your reward is with the people
01:40:45.260 But if you want your reward from Allah
01:40:46.200 You got to become Muslim first
01:40:47.520 Inshallah
01:40:47.920 Yeah so one thing that's really important bro
01:40:51.500 And this
01:40:52.380 I feel like
01:40:53.020 I feel like this
01:40:53.540 What this does is
01:40:54.160 A lot of brothers
01:40:54.780 They kind of get lost on this one
01:40:57.120 So when you come to the deen
01:40:58.440 Allah has made it
01:41:00.040 So there's many ways
01:41:00.660 You can get to him
01:41:01.300 There's one path
01:41:03.740 But on that path
01:41:04.800 There's many lanes
01:41:05.460 There's not more to pass to Allah
01:41:07.120 This is a contradiction
01:41:08.220 Sorry it's a mistake
01:41:09.500 Some people believe
01:41:10.300 I can get to Allah however
01:41:11.680 These are all different rivers
01:41:13.300 That lead to the same sea
01:41:14.180 No there's one river
01:41:15.660 That leads to Allah
01:41:16.300 One road
01:41:17.420 But that road has many lanes
01:41:18.740 There's the lane of fasting
01:41:19.940 There's the lane of charity
01:41:21.300 There's the lane of da'wah
01:41:22.380 Now there's got to be
01:41:23.080 Some basic level
01:41:24.120 That we're all doing
01:41:24.700 I can't say
01:41:25.260 Oh my lane is charity
01:41:26.120 So I'm not going to pray
01:41:26.780 No the five daily prayers are obligatory
01:41:28.480 The one who goes above and beyond
01:41:29.720 He prays at night as well
01:41:30.680 He prays every opportunity he can
01:41:32.540 So everyone's got to pay zakat
01:41:34.220 Which is once a year
01:41:34.980 2.5% of your wealth
01:41:36.320 If you meet the conditions
01:41:37.840 But then the guys
01:41:39.160 Who go above and beyond
01:41:40.700 Just give whatever charity
01:41:41.500 That they can
01:41:41.960 So what you have to do
01:41:43.600 Is you got to be smart
01:41:44.540 Right
01:41:44.780 Ask yourself
01:41:45.880 What is the one that Allah
01:41:47.440 Made easy for me
01:41:48.220 Because everyone's different
01:41:49.380 If Allah made fasting easy for you
01:41:51.440 And then you fast
01:41:52.300 Fasting is really difficult for me
01:41:53.560 I don't want to like
01:41:54.200 Make myself
01:41:54.640 But it's hard
01:41:55.600 No stress
01:41:56.040 You're good
01:41:56.400 Energy level's low
01:41:57.200 I think the easiest one is da'wah
01:41:58.600 I mean I'm here in front of the camera
01:41:59.620 All day talking
01:42:00.220 Okay
01:42:00.600 Hopefully
01:42:01.100 Even I was thinking about this morning
01:42:02.640 I got a haircut
01:42:03.160 That's why I have a fresh fade
01:42:04.120 I know some people say it's hard on
01:42:05.100 But it's not
01:42:06.200 I get a fade anyway
01:42:07.440 I got to skip the line
01:42:08.580 Because the guy was
01:42:09.380 I don't remember his name
01:42:10.740 But he was a guy from Cameroon
01:42:11.960 And he was saying
01:42:12.440 He started watching
01:42:13.020 Fresh and Fit content
01:42:13.800 He started watching my content
01:42:14.840 About two years ago
01:42:15.740 He was really excited to see me
01:42:16.800 So I got to skip the line
01:42:17.820 He gave me a haircut
01:42:18.380 The whole time he was saying
01:42:19.360 Like how the contents affected him
01:42:20.900 And he was saying
01:42:21.560 That he reverted two months ago
01:42:22.520 Allahu Akbar
01:42:23.040 Two months ago
01:42:24.140 Because of like the content
01:42:25.020 That we've been doing
01:42:25.700 And so I got a really good haircut
01:42:28.300 You know I got to skip the line
01:42:29.460 Because of this guy
01:42:30.580 And also the content that I'm doing
01:42:31.520 And he was the barber
01:42:32.080 And he was the barber
01:42:32.760 Yeah
01:42:32.980 He was working at
01:42:34.320 Tom Khan's barbershop
01:42:35.580 He has a barbershop
01:42:37.060 Yeah he does
01:42:37.840 Well he has it all bro
01:42:38.860 He's got it all
01:42:40.040 I need to go
01:42:40.660 I need to get a haircut
01:42:41.280 We'll probably go afterwards
01:42:42.140 And show if you want to come
01:42:43.180 I need to find a nice barber
01:42:46.040 That's one of the things
01:42:46.660 I was struggling with
01:42:47.660 My barber
01:42:48.440 I just want a brother
01:42:49.080 From back home
01:42:49.640 Pakistan
01:42:50.000 He's one Pakistani brother
01:42:51.960 He's just doing
01:42:52.880 The Pakistani thing for me
01:42:53.900 And he's one of the real barbers
01:42:56.280 So it's difficult
01:42:57.680 Because at that moment
01:42:58.960 I was dealing with a lot of things
01:43:00.180 My phone's blowing up right now
01:43:01.300 It's never
01:43:01.840 Never had this many problems
01:43:04.440 To deal with all at once
01:43:05.420 While I'm leaving the dunya behind
01:43:06.860 It's
01:43:07.360 It's very clearly a test
01:43:09.380 So I'm getting this haircut
01:43:10.460 And he's like
01:43:10.840 He's really happy to give me the cut
01:43:12.160 And it made me feel better
01:43:14.180 In that situation
01:43:15.120 Because right now
01:43:15.720 I'm dealing with all these things
01:43:16.480 And he keeps saying
01:43:17.020 Thank you
01:43:17.980 Keep doing what you're doing
01:43:19.000 You're bringing a lot of people
01:43:20.320 To Islam
01:43:20.720 You brought me to Islam
01:43:21.460 And then in that moment
01:43:22.140 I kind of just got to take a breath
01:43:23.340 This is all for a reason
01:43:24.440 This is not going to waste
01:43:26.080 The stress that we're enduring
01:43:27.880 I don't want to make it seem like
01:43:28.940 My life is that hard
01:43:29.600 Compared to the people in Gaza
01:43:30.920 May Allah guide them
01:43:32.460 And may Allah protect them
01:43:33.240 What I'm going through
01:43:36.260 Is easy in comparison
01:43:37.560 But I'm glad to see that
01:43:39.600 That there's something
01:43:40.500 That there is something positive
01:43:42.020 That's happening
01:43:42.560 Let me tell you a hadith
01:43:43.840 That hopefully will be
01:43:44.740 Motivation
01:43:46.300 The Prophet SAW said
01:43:47.580 That anyone
01:43:48.520 If Allah guides
01:43:49.360 One person to Islam
01:43:50.640 One person
01:43:51.600 It's better for you
01:43:53.060 Than red camels
01:43:54.060 Now let me break this down
01:43:55.720 What's a red camel?
01:43:57.520 The water
01:43:57.900 No, red camel
01:43:59.120 So red camels
01:44:00.580 Were the most elite form
01:44:03.040 Of transportation
01:44:04.420 For the Arabs
01:44:05.060 Our equivalent
01:44:06.740 Of a Bugatti
01:44:07.600 Our equivalent
01:44:09.300 Of a Lamborghini
01:44:10.340 Of a Ferrari
01:44:11.300 So the Prophet SAW said
01:44:13.180 If Allah guides
01:44:13.900 One person to Islam
01:44:15.080 For you
01:44:15.320 It's better for you
01:44:15.960 Than
01:44:16.160 The most elite form
01:44:18.640 Of vehicle
01:44:19.380 The most valuable form
01:44:20.860 Of vehicle
01:44:21.440 Not one
01:44:22.220 But vehicles
01:44:22.960 So
01:44:24.200 If Allah guides
01:44:25.440 One person for you
01:44:26.340 That's better for you
01:44:27.380 And all of those Ferraris
01:44:28.360 That are out there
01:44:28.860 But here's the thing
01:44:29.940 And me
01:44:30.720 I'm a person
01:44:31.360 Where I like to keep it real
01:44:32.160 And I feel like
01:44:33.240 If I don't
01:44:33.760 If I'm not honest
01:44:34.440 With my brothers
01:44:34.960 I'm not honest
01:44:36.380 With my brothers
01:44:36.900 Then on a day judgment
01:44:38.560 You might take it up
01:44:39.580 With me
01:44:39.920 Right
01:44:40.300 Here's my thing
01:44:41.760 I can clearly see
01:44:42.840 Da'wah as your thing
01:44:43.440 Right
01:44:44.200 But if you want to do da'wah
01:44:45.780 You have to do it
01:44:46.600 The right way
01:44:47.000 If Allah
01:44:49.000 Made this path
01:44:50.120 Of da'wah
01:44:50.640 Easy for you
01:44:52.340 And that's gonna be
01:44:53.920 Your way
01:44:54.480 To get to Jannah
01:44:55.220 Inshallah
01:44:55.700 That's gonna be your way
01:44:57.220 Bro
01:44:58.280 Wallahi
01:44:58.960 I'm gonna be the first guy
01:44:59.720 To support you
01:45:00.200 Inshallah
01:45:00.500 But
01:45:01.440 You have to just do
01:45:03.380 The da'wah properly
01:45:04.200 That right there
01:45:05.640 Is what a lot of people
01:45:06.200 Get wrong
01:45:06.600 Because da'wah
01:45:08.000 Can't just be done
01:45:10.660 Through experiments
01:45:11.860 It can't be done
01:45:13.400 Based on feelings
01:45:14.720 It has to be done properly
01:45:16.060 And I don't wanna make it
01:45:17.460 Too complicated
01:45:17.940 But in simple terms
01:45:19.380 I'll say the most important thing
01:45:21.180 For da'wah
01:45:21.540 That you need
01:45:22.080 Is you need
01:45:23.640 To just consistently
01:45:24.460 Be studying the religion
01:45:25.560 And you need
01:45:27.540 A mentor
01:45:28.840 That mentor
01:45:29.940 Could be a sheikh
01:45:30.620 It could be a teacher
01:45:31.280 It could be an older brother
01:45:33.020 In the da'wah
01:45:33.440 Someone you respect
01:45:34.360 Someone that you trust
01:45:36.080 Right
01:45:36.760 Someone that you go back to
01:45:37.780 I feel like you have
01:45:38.460 A good relationship
01:45:38.880 With Abutamia
01:45:39.560 Abutamia
01:45:40.520 I would say the main one
01:45:41.640 Has been
01:45:41.920 I would say sheikh
01:45:42.840 With Man
01:45:43.160 Even better
01:45:44.140 Not that
01:45:45.640 I mean it in a bad way
01:45:46.620 We're talking about Abutamia
01:45:48.560 As in
01:45:49.480 I'll tell you why
01:45:51.640 I said even better
01:45:52.160 For two reasons
01:45:52.800 Number one
01:45:53.500 He's from the States
01:45:54.140 So having someone
01:45:55.440 That understands you
01:45:56.240 And your culture
01:45:56.740 Is important
01:45:57.280 There's a lot of them
01:45:59.240 Mohammed Ajab
01:46:00.020 Even Brother Warner
01:46:00.940 All these guys
01:46:01.940 But also
01:46:02.840 Ustak with Man
01:46:04.620 He's older as well
01:46:06.040 And with knowledge
01:46:07.000 Comes wisdom
01:46:07.440 He's up to like 45
01:46:08.420 Right but he's older
01:46:09.300 Than us
01:46:09.660 Ideally though
01:46:11.140 With age comes wisdom
01:46:12.620 The older you are
01:46:13.940 And the more knowledgeable
01:46:14.640 You are
01:46:15.080 Age with knowledge
01:46:16.940 Equals wisdom
01:46:18.240 So he
01:46:19.460 Mashallah
01:46:20.020 You know
01:46:20.540 Would understand things
01:46:21.500 Very well
01:46:21.800 So I would say
01:46:22.280 I would say
01:46:23.000 Go to those guys
01:46:23.820 Right
01:46:24.840 Abutamia is my guy
01:46:25.540 Abutamia is my boy
01:46:26.580 Me and
01:46:27.040 Me and
01:46:27.640 Me and
01:46:28.260 There's no people
01:46:28.700 Me and Abutamia
01:46:29.540 That's my guy
01:46:30.320 But it's just
01:46:32.200 Connect with these people
01:46:33.360 And tell them
01:46:34.660 Listen guide me
01:46:35.520 To where I can study
01:46:36.540 And don't get overwhelmed
01:46:37.760 Take it in strides
01:46:38.980 Bro we were all at that point
01:46:40.760 We couldn't read the Quran
01:46:41.740 But I'm saying
01:46:42.940 If you really want to
01:46:43.880 If you really want to
01:46:44.780 Give that
01:46:45.080 You really want to
01:46:47.100 You've got to study
01:46:47.820 And Alhamdulillah
01:46:48.960 For me
01:46:49.380 I'm like
01:46:50.380 All of us here
01:46:51.180 I didn't come out
01:46:53.140 From my mother's womb
01:46:53.840 Learning
01:46:54.300 Knowing Quran
01:46:55.420 Knowing Arabic
01:46:56.000 But it's a process
01:46:57.720 It's a life journey
01:46:58.500 You study
01:46:59.100 You study
01:46:59.420 You study
01:46:59.740 And you share
01:47:00.800 And you share
01:47:00.820 What you learn
01:47:01.360 That's great
01:47:02.240 But you've got to
01:47:03.040 Make sure you're studying
01:47:03.580 And you've got to
01:47:04.540 Have someone
01:47:05.340 Not a hater
01:47:07.140 But someone
01:47:09.100 That you trust
01:47:10.420 Who has your best
01:47:12.280 Interest at heart
01:47:12.960 That will be able
01:47:13.720 To let you know
01:47:14.260 Act just
01:47:15.540 Maybe that wasn't best
01:47:17.640 Or maybe you shouldn't
01:47:18.340 Do that
01:47:18.720 Because without guidance
01:47:21.020 Without counsel
01:47:21.820 We'll go astray
01:47:22.580 Allah told the Prophet
01:47:23.700 Muhammad
01:47:24.240 Seek counsel
01:47:25.460 He had to go
01:47:26.480 To the companions
01:47:27.040 Shall we do this
01:47:27.820 Are you sure
01:47:28.540 When we get to battle
01:47:29.600 Shall we line the army
01:47:30.740 Up in this way
01:47:31.320 So if the Prophet
01:47:32.580 Had to seek counsel
01:47:34.300 We have to seek counsel
01:47:36.620 Okay we start
01:47:37.560 You're on point man
01:47:39.940 I like you bro
01:47:40.540 Appreciate it
01:47:41.940 Mashallah
01:47:42.400 You need to give him
01:47:43.560 Some dawah man
01:47:44.180 He's still
01:47:44.940 He's almost
01:47:45.620 The most orthodox Christian
01:47:46.740 Really
01:47:47.400 He's orthodox too
01:47:50.800 Yeah
01:47:50.980 They're the closest ones
01:47:51.900 Do you believe
01:47:52.760 Do you believe
01:47:53.440 Jesus is God
01:47:54.080 Here we go
01:47:56.580 Yeah yeah
01:48:00.200 He's the son of God
01:48:01.120 But do you believe
01:48:02.060 He's God
01:48:02.380 He is a God
01:48:03.700 Yeah
01:48:03.960 A God
01:48:05.080 He's God
01:48:06.420 How many gods are there
01:48:08.400 One
01:48:09.040 So Jesus is God
01:48:13.040 Yeah
01:48:13.920 And God's God
01:48:14.980 Jesus is God
01:48:16.620 I thought he's
01:48:18.060 The son of God
01:48:18.600 He is
01:48:19.380 Don't worry
01:48:21.120 We're going to talk
01:48:21.800 And once you become
01:48:23.680 Muslim inshallah
01:48:24.220 We're going to eat
01:48:26.000 Four wives
01:48:26.440 Here's the thing
01:48:29.460 That I say
01:48:29.860 That we don't need
01:48:30.460 To go down this path
01:48:31.120 Because we've had
01:48:31.440 This argument so many times
01:48:32.160 But when Christians say
01:48:33.160 Like Jesus is God
01:48:34.360 There's one God
01:48:35.140 But Jesus is the son of God
01:48:36.500 That means that
01:48:37.160 If Jesus was the son of God
01:48:38.460 That means God
01:48:39.060 Is a separate entity
01:48:40.060 From Jesus
01:48:40.580 In order to have a child
01:48:42.260 One must exist first
01:48:43.900 There's a father
01:48:44.840 And then the son
01:48:45.660 That's the whole
01:48:46.700 That support time
01:48:47.860 You can't have a son
01:48:49.640 Without a father
01:48:50.200 Which means that
01:48:50.800 The father exists
01:48:51.360 Without the son
01:48:51.820 Which means that
01:48:52.220 There's more than one guy
01:48:52.920 Which means
01:48:53.340 You have to just
01:48:55.640 Use your mind a little bit
01:48:56.260 There's an ayah in the Quran
01:48:57.960 That I believe is
01:48:58.740 The strongest
01:48:59.760 Like for me personally
01:49:00.720 I felt like
01:49:01.700 It was the strongest argument
01:49:03.000 That Christianity
01:49:05.160 Doesn't make sense after this
01:49:06.240 Allah said
01:49:07.320 Jesus
01:49:10.260 Is a prophet
01:49:11.540 And Mary
01:49:13.820 Was a righteous woman
01:49:14.960 But they both used to eat
01:49:19.660 Deep that for a second
01:49:22.880 The man you say is God
01:49:24.640 The man you say is God
01:49:27.600 Is the need to eat food
01:49:31.160 And if he didn't eat food
01:49:32.260 He would die
01:49:32.740 And when he ate the food
01:49:35.760 He would defecate
01:49:36.620 But God
01:49:39.360 Carrying filth in him
01:49:41.540 Going to the washroom
01:49:43.920 Squatting
01:49:44.580 Urinating
01:49:46.160 That's God
01:49:47.260 That's God
01:49:48.860 God
01:49:50.440 Coming outside
01:49:51.720 Of another woman's vagina
01:49:53.400 God coming out crying
01:49:55.960 For her breast to suckle from
01:49:58.100 God with an umbilical cord
01:50:00.300 That's God
01:50:03.740 That's perfection
01:50:05.340 That's the king of kings
01:50:06.700 Wallah
01:50:07.560 If a person
01:50:08.200 And you know
01:50:08.760 What the issue here is
01:50:09.920 Allah says in the Quran
01:50:10.520 Inna fi thalika la dhikra
01:50:11.760 Liman kana lahu
01:50:12.640 Qalb
01:50:13.220 Allah said
01:50:15.800 Hey don't use your head
01:50:16.680 Use your heart
01:50:17.780 Use your head
01:50:19.460 What I mean by that is
01:50:20.400 Don't
01:50:21.640 Just try to fight an argument
01:50:23.560 Like oh no
01:50:24.740 What this that
01:50:25.500 I just use your
01:50:27.320 Just use your heart
01:50:28.360 For a second
01:50:28.660 Does that make sense bro
01:50:29.520 God is a baby crying
01:50:31.580 What
01:50:31.980 I need milk
01:50:33.160 And I don't mean that
01:50:35.760 As any belittlement of
01:50:38.440 Prophet Isa
01:50:39.020 He's more beloved to us
01:50:41.100 Than our own mothers
01:50:41.720 And we would die for the prophet
01:50:43.880 We would die for the prophet Jesus
01:50:44.900 But it's a reality
01:50:46.640 He was a man
01:50:47.140 He required milk
01:50:48.560 And if it were to be a god
01:50:50.500 That would be a weak god
01:50:52.560 Compared to Allah
01:50:53.420 Yeah
01:50:53.960 So then choose
01:50:54.860 Why would you choose
01:50:57.200 To worship a weak god
01:50:58.820 Than to worship
01:51:00.140 The greatest
01:51:01.860 But I
01:51:02.420 What I don't get
01:51:03.300 Is that
01:51:04.060 You worship
01:51:05.360 You worship
01:51:06.560 A man
01:51:07.020 Who died
01:51:07.740 Bro
01:51:11.320 He died
01:51:11.980 Death
01:51:12.320 So God's dead
01:51:13.360 And they're
01:51:14.620 But then you know
01:51:15.140 What the argument is
01:51:15.940 Why he came back to life
01:51:17.260 So for three days
01:51:19.240 We were on the earth
01:51:19.920 And not just
01:51:20.780 He died
01:51:21.280 He went to hell
01:51:22.380 God went to hell
01:51:23.820 He conquered hell
01:51:26.720 And then came back to life
01:51:28.080 What the hell
01:51:29.080 Why would God go to hell
01:51:30.740 That's insane
01:51:32.980 It's insane
01:51:34.080 The more they talk
01:51:35.400 The more I feel like
01:51:36.200 I'm going crazy
01:51:36.860 Bro
01:51:37.140 You know what's even
01:51:38.700 A crazy angle
01:51:39.980 So the Romans
01:51:41.720 Who killed God
01:51:42.320 Were more powerful than God
01:51:43.280 So then
01:51:44.200 They should be God
01:51:46.060 Should they
01:51:46.500 Should they not be God then
01:51:47.440 The earth
01:51:49.420 That managed to contain God
01:51:51.000 When he was buried
01:51:52.080 Was more powerful
01:51:53.780 Because he had
01:51:55.400 He had contained the God
01:51:56.660 So is the earth
01:51:57.540 Not more powerful than God
01:51:58.540 Are we going to give Luke
01:52:00.240 A chance to respond
01:52:01.060 Or
01:52:01.280 Oh no no no
01:52:02.360 I wasn't even trying
01:52:02.940 To get at him like that
01:52:03.780 You know
01:52:04.520 If I'm going to give that
01:52:05.260 Luke
01:52:05.840 I'm going to first
01:52:06.340 Lotion him inshallah
01:52:07.180 He'll sit him down
01:52:08.020 Give him some food
01:52:09.000 You know what I'm saying
01:52:09.500 Get to his belly first
01:52:10.940 And then he gets
01:52:11.480 I'm playing
01:52:13.820 I'm playing
01:52:14.100 I'm playing
01:52:14.400 I'm playing
01:52:14.700 But do you see
01:52:16.040 What I'm saying bro
01:52:16.560 Yeah I see what you're saying
01:52:17.980 But do you agree
01:52:18.960 No
01:52:19.720 How come
01:52:20.660 How come
01:52:22.280 How come
01:52:22.600 Oh I see it
01:52:23.460 Completely different
01:52:24.040 You know what
01:52:25.280 I felt like there was
01:52:26.220 So much sincerity
01:52:26.940 In that response
01:52:27.740 Off camera
01:52:28.960 I would actually like to hear
01:52:29.780 So
01:52:30.800 Because I felt like
01:52:32.040 There was so much
01:52:32.520 The way you responded
01:52:33.560 Right now
01:52:33.960 I felt
01:52:34.980 A genuineness
01:52:36.920 In you man
01:52:37.820 So
01:52:38.660 It would actually be
01:52:40.960 Interesting
01:52:41.340 To have a real life
01:52:42.220 Conversation
01:52:42.840 With no camera
01:52:43.860 Nothing
01:52:44.160 That's the problem
01:52:44.700 With the dawah
01:52:45.160 Even giving him
01:52:45.960 Is that it's
01:52:46.320 All like
01:52:46.980 Kind of a spectacle
01:52:48.140 And on camera
01:52:48.760 The way
01:52:49.100 Luke is my guy bro
01:52:51.540 My guy
01:52:52.900 But you know
01:52:53.560 You talked about
01:52:54.440 You know
01:52:54.820 The gates of paradise
01:52:55.740 You know a lot of times
01:52:57.000 When people get a job
01:52:58.240 The first thing they ask
01:52:59.260 What is my pain
01:53:00.800 Right
01:53:01.280 Nowadays
01:53:02.280 You know
01:53:02.960 People
01:53:03.380 They're like
01:53:04.060 Oh
01:53:04.320 Believe in God
01:53:05.320 But they don't know
01:53:06.340 What Allah is going to give them
01:53:08.040 For believing
01:53:08.660 Can you
01:53:09.620 Tell us
01:53:10.380 About Jannah
01:53:11.180 Tell us about paradise
01:53:12.960 The reward that Allah has
01:53:14.640 For believers
01:53:15.220 Shaitan's coming
01:53:16.020 Yeah
01:53:16.440 You know
01:53:22.460 Sometimes
01:53:23.580 Shaitan tries to mess with us
01:53:24.640 Ask him
01:53:25.620 He visits him
01:53:26.140 Every couple nights
01:53:27.980 It comes to my dreams
01:53:28.900 Yeah
01:53:29.320 Shaitan's been attacking us
01:53:31.280 Really
01:53:31.640 Really
01:53:32.840 Just sending me women
01:53:33.900 In my dreams
01:53:34.440 Non stop bro
01:53:35.640 Listen
01:53:36.120 Shaitan
01:53:36.640 Stop
01:53:37.640 Idiot
01:53:38.440 Yo
01:53:40.640 Now honestly
01:53:42.920 If a shaitan came right now
01:53:44.120 It's not the sport of him
01:53:45.560 I'll literally start reading
01:53:46.720 Surat al-Baqarah
01:53:47.260 And he'll burn
01:53:47.700 Inshallah
01:53:48.120 He knows
01:53:49.200 It happens to him
01:53:49.720 Every couple nights
01:53:50.400 Comes
01:53:51.140 Plays with him
01:53:51.860 He just slaps it
01:53:53.140 With the Quran
01:53:53.780 Back to the topic
01:53:56.080 Yeah
01:53:56.420 The Prophet
01:53:58.160 In simple terms
01:53:59.260 He said
01:54:00.380 Allah
01:54:00.640 Has prepared for his slaves
01:54:02.980 That which no eye has seen
01:54:05.380 What no ear has heard
01:54:07.360 And no human has ever
01:54:10.160 Even thought about
01:54:10.920 And you get whatever you want
01:54:13.340 You will receive
01:54:15.400 Whatever you want bro
01:54:16.180 Like just deep that
01:54:17.200 For a second
01:54:17.540 And what I would like to do
01:54:18.980 Is to show you
01:54:20.360 How big the reward is
01:54:22.180 I'll tell you the story
01:54:23.300 Of the last man
01:54:24.260 Who entered paradise
01:54:24.980 The last guy
01:54:26.440 This is the guy
01:54:27.760 Who was the worst man
01:54:29.200 From the Muslims
01:54:30.380 You know
01:54:31.940 Some Muslims
01:54:33.180 Are going to go to hell
01:54:33.760 Because their bad deeds
01:54:35.860 Were more than their good deeds
01:54:37.440 The Muslims
01:54:39.500 Will come out of hell
01:54:40.660 But the disbelievers
01:54:41.760 Will remain
01:54:42.160 So the Muslims
01:54:43.360 Will come out of hell now
01:54:44.080 The last of them
01:54:46.040 Imagine
01:54:47.260 There's some
01:54:47.820 Pretty bad brothers
01:54:49.420 Right
01:54:49.760 So has this guy
01:54:51.260 Murdered
01:54:51.700 Has he raped
01:54:52.260 Like what evil has he done
01:54:53.240 He's gone to hell
01:54:54.140 He's done his time
01:54:54.800 He's been burnt
01:54:55.420 Now he comes out of hell fire
01:54:58.000 When he comes out of hell fire
01:55:00.180 He's going to paradise
01:55:02.740 Allah gives him
01:55:04.820 The equivalent
01:55:07.040 To
01:55:09.120 What one king
01:55:11.060 Would have on this earth
01:55:11.980 As a kingdom
01:55:12.460 Times ten
01:55:13.200 Ten times
01:55:15.080 The kingdom
01:55:15.560 Of a king on earth
01:55:16.520 That's what the lowest man
01:55:19.300 Who enters paradise
01:55:20.160 Will get
01:55:20.480 Right
01:55:22.740 Okay
01:55:24.740 What about everyone else
01:55:26.540 The lowest man
01:55:28.760 Who enters paradise
01:55:29.440 Will get ten times
01:55:30.320 The kingdom
01:55:30.740 Of a king
01:55:31.320 On earth
01:55:32.880 Now
01:55:34.340 Allah
01:55:35.320 Will give you
01:55:36.300 What you want
01:55:37.020 He'll give you
01:55:39.060 What you don't even know
01:55:39.800 That you want
01:55:40.240 And then
01:55:42.820 After Allah
01:55:43.740 Has given you
01:55:44.260 Everything
01:55:44.840 There's a
01:55:45.560 Beautiful hadith
01:55:46.640 Beautiful
01:55:47.220 Beautiful hadith
01:55:48.040 After everyone
01:55:50.260 Has been given
01:55:50.700 So you got your girls
01:55:51.480 You got your girls
01:55:53.780 You know Jannah
01:55:54.880 In sha Allah
01:55:55.880 I will say
01:55:57.620 I'm going to throw
01:55:58.200 A halal raid
01:55:59.080 In Jannah
01:55:59.460 I don't know
01:56:01.080 How things are going
01:56:01.500 To be in Jannah
01:56:01.920 But you imagine
01:56:02.960 Things right
01:56:03.580 I'm for a halal party
01:56:05.300 Can I come
01:56:05.840 Of course
01:56:06.480 I was about to say
01:56:07.120 Invited bro
01:56:07.900 Don't touch any of my girls
01:56:09.600 I got mine
01:56:12.360 Don't worry
01:56:12.700 Here's the thing
01:56:14.480 Look how just Allah is
01:56:16.640 Allah knows
01:56:17.480 You have a desire
01:56:18.140 For women
01:56:18.500 And he knows
01:56:19.300 That you have a desire
01:56:19.800 For women
01:56:20.040 And he also knows
01:56:20.680 You have a desire
01:56:21.160 For nice drinks
01:56:21.980 Right
01:56:22.740 He said to you
01:56:23.620 Okay cool
01:56:23.900 You can have women
01:56:24.500 But not in a haram way
01:56:27.760 Not outside marriage
01:56:28.680 And in marriage
01:56:29.180 You can only have four
01:56:29.760 So we got
01:56:31.520 We got what we want
01:56:33.120 But it was
01:56:33.760 Limited
01:56:34.900 Right
01:56:35.680 So that
01:56:36.600 It doesn't create corruption
01:56:37.600 Because when a man
01:56:38.540 Start sleeping
01:56:39.020 With women outside marriage
01:56:39.940 They have illegitimate children
01:56:41.100 Those children
01:56:41.920 Raised without a dad
01:56:43.100 There's so much corruption
01:56:43.840 And chaos in society
01:56:44.680 And we know what happens
01:56:45.580 To kids that are born
01:56:46.460 In single parent households
01:56:47.480 And so much more corruption
01:56:49.160 Takes place
01:56:50.120 Right
01:56:50.300 So Allah is saying
01:56:51.060 Look
01:56:51.300 You can have the women
01:56:52.120 You can have four
01:56:52.840 Furthermore
01:56:53.120 But in marriage
01:56:53.680 But now
01:56:54.560 Let's be wrong man
01:56:56.220 Is four women enough
01:56:58.380 But a man say
01:57:00.520 No to a fifth
01:57:01.280 Sixth
01:57:02.340 And let's just say
01:57:02.940 You have four women
01:57:03.500 Can they be ones
01:57:04.120 That are more beautiful
01:57:04.740 Yes they can
01:57:06.020 But that's for paradise
01:57:07.640 That's for paradise
01:57:09.440 Do you understand
01:57:10.020 Okay likewise
01:57:11.480 You like to eat nice things
01:57:12.740 Drink nice things
01:57:13.700 So here you can't drink alcohol
01:57:15.900 You know why
01:57:16.260 Because it gets you drunk
01:57:17.020 When you get drunk
01:57:17.660 You turn off
01:57:18.660 As you said
01:57:19.100 You can't focus
01:57:20.220 You might commit crimes
01:57:21.740 You might commit
01:57:22.480 Oppression and injustice
01:57:23.620 So in paradise
01:57:25.060 Allah says
01:57:26.360 You got rivers of wine
01:57:27.380 Rivers of wine
01:57:29.640 So I'm saying

01:58:41.500 We're already out of hell
01:58:42.200 We don't even need more

01:58:43.820 Because you show gratitude
01:58:44.900 But it's not just
01:58:47.460 They've been given

01:59:05.960 Allah you already gave us everything
01:59:07.120 And you took us out of hell
01:59:08.560 And you placed us into paradise

01:59:17.900 Allah we just want to see you
01:59:20.140 We just want to see you
01:59:23.060 The source of beauty
01:59:25.080 Imagine how beautiful it would be
01:59:28.060 To give you
01:59:29.640 To give you a yardstick
01:59:31.460 Of how beautiful Allah is
01:59:32.740 And how
01:59:33.480 Because look
01:59:34.300 Human beings love to look at things
01:59:35.480 You see a beautiful woman
01:59:36.500 You like to
01:59:36.900 Look right
01:59:38.000 Why is it that when you go to a hotel
01:59:39.760 You ask for the one
01:59:40.540 That has the nicest view
01:59:42.120 Why do we have nice things in our house
01:59:43.620 Why do we like nice cars
01:59:44.700 You like to
01:59:45.720 Look at nice things
01:59:46.940 Looking is a joy
01:59:48.280 To the point where
01:59:48.960 Bro live streaming is
01:59:50.140 Looking
01:59:50.600 Right
01:59:51.300 Watching movies
01:59:52.340 Human beings
01:59:53.840 We don't realise
01:59:54.960 One of our primary sources of pleasure
01:59:57.200 Is to look at things that are nice
01:59:59.260 Do you know what I'm saying
02:00:00.380 Okay cool
02:00:02.060 So Yusuf
02:00:02.860 Prophet Yusuf
02:00:03.440 Prophet Joseph
02:00:04.120 Allah is able to place
02:00:05.440 Half the world's beauty in his face
02:00:07.000 To the point where
02:00:08.680 He was so handsome
02:00:09.700 That the women
02:00:10.880 When they saw him
02:00:12.340 They were chopping vegetables
02:00:15.220 They chopped their fingers
02:00:16.540 Imagine
02:00:18.140 She chops her finger
02:00:20.180 And as she sliced her finger
02:00:23.140 Bro
02:00:23.520 She has not realised
02:00:25.960 I've chopped my finger
02:00:26.900 She's saying
02:00:27.480 This is
02:00:30.980 An angel
02:00:32.100 This is not a man
02:00:39.020 This is an angel
02:00:39.640 The woman
02:00:41.340 Is so infatuated
02:00:42.920 By the beauty of Yusuf
02:00:44.220 That she can't
02:00:45.980 Focus
02:00:46.640 On the fact
02:00:47.480 That her fingers
02:00:48.220 Have been chopped
02:00:48.680 Bro
02:00:48.980 That's how beauty
02:00:50.200 Can distract you
02:00:50.820 That's why
02:00:51.080 You don't want a man
02:00:51.500 Running after a beautiful woman
02:00:52.340 You can lose sight of everything
02:00:53.380 In life
02:00:53.680 You know what I'm saying
02:00:54.600 Now
02:00:55.720 If the women
02:00:57.400 Cut their fingers
02:00:59.040 Looking at the beauty of Yusuf
02:01:01.100 Imagine
02:01:02.560 What it's going to be like
02:01:03.560 When we look at the beauty
02:01:04.540 Of the one
02:01:05.000 Who gave Yusuf
02:01:05.880 And this entire world beauty
02:01:07.100 Whole hands getting chopped off
02:01:08.440 Do you understand
02:01:09.100 And you wouldn't feel the pain
02:01:10.680 That's why the prophet
02:01:11.860 Muhammad SAW said
02:01:12.940 When we see Allah
02:01:13.900 That's going to be the greatest joy
02:01:15.920 The greatest pleasure
02:01:17.320 There's going to be no pleasure
02:01:18.360 Like even after the women
02:01:19.360 That you've seen
02:01:19.860 And you've been with
02:01:21.320 And the beautiful houses
02:01:23.500 That you've enjoyed
02:01:24.200 And the luxuries
02:01:24.820 And the friends
02:01:25.400 And the family
02:01:26.020 But you're kicking it
02:01:27.040 With the angels
02:01:27.580 Bro
02:01:27.860 I'm going to go to Jibreel
02:01:28.600 Show me the wing
02:01:30.640 That you picked those
02:01:31.440 Gay people up with
02:01:32.220 And smush them
02:01:32.980 I want to see that wing
02:01:33.920 I want you to lift
02:01:35.180 To that village
02:01:35.680 And pow
02:01:36.400 You know what I'm saying
02:01:37.140 So
02:01:37.960 You're chilling with these angels
02:01:39.440 You're having a great time
02:01:40.360 But this is life bro
02:01:41.640 And then
02:01:42.560 None of that
02:01:43.380 Equates to
02:01:44.400 I'm going to see Allah
02:01:46.440 And at that point
02:01:49.240 You know what Allah says
02:01:49.980 Allah will remind you
02:01:51.920 Of the sins that you did
02:01:52.780 Didn't you do this
02:01:54.780 Didn't you do that sin
02:01:56.300 And you feel
02:01:58.260 You feel guilty
02:02:00.440 Because you're standing
02:02:01.860 In front of the king of kings
02:02:03.280 And he's brought you
02:02:04.020 Into his court
02:02:05.480 Into his presence
02:02:06.880 He's allowed you
02:02:07.580 To see him
02:02:08.200 Subhanahu wa ta'ala
02:02:08.960 And no one knows
02:02:09.960 The way he looks
02:02:10.500 And he is not comparable
02:02:12.760 To anything
02:02:13.460 Right
02:02:14.140 There's nothing
02:02:14.540 That can compare to him
02:02:15.280 Subhanahu wa ta'ala
02:02:15.960 But when you see him
02:02:18.060 He'll remind you of that
02:02:18.900 And then we say
02:02:20.080 Allah won't you forgive us
02:02:20.900 Allah will say
02:02:21.420 I've already forgiven you
02:02:22.200 And we get to see
02:02:24.480 Allah regularly like that
02:02:25.580 May Allah allow us
02:02:26.260 To see him
02:02:26.640 Subhanahu wa ta'ala
02:02:27.400 May Allah allow us
02:02:28.820 To meet him
02:02:29.420 Subhanahu wa ta'ala
02:02:30.220 Imagine that
02:02:31.400 Just being with the king
02:02:32.540 The king
02:02:33.920 So that's
02:02:35.280 That's the greatest reward
02:02:36.240 Come on bro
02:02:37.540 Right now
02:02:38.080 Would you not want
02:02:39.620 To be with like
02:02:40.460 Like how many people
02:02:41.620 Want to be with you
02:02:43.220 Sneaker
02:02:43.900 Sneaker
02:02:45.140 No
02:02:45.600 How many people
02:02:47.340 Would wish that
02:02:48.380 They could just
02:02:48.880 Go spend some time
02:02:49.800 With Andrew Tick
02:02:50.420 Because he's this
02:02:50.940 Big celebrity
02:02:51.580 And you know
02:02:52.860 I'm going to go see
02:02:53.600 What colour his bagar is
02:02:54.880 Put all of that
02:02:57.520 To our side
02:02:58.020 You get to see Allah
02:02:59.700 You get to visit
02:03:01.340 Your lord
02:03:01.740 You get to talk
02:03:02.920 For Allah
02:03:03.420 That's why
02:03:06.460 You know
02:03:07.000 Asiya
02:03:08.820 Who was the wife
02:03:09.880 Of Pharaoh
02:03:10.200 When she started
02:03:12.580 Believing in Moses
02:03:13.320 In Musa
02:03:13.900 Pharaoh wanted to kill her
02:03:15.400 So when he was
02:03:17.040 Killing her
02:03:17.400 He crucified her
02:03:18.160 Some of the
02:03:19.240 Narrations mentioned
02:03:19.800 He hung her by her breasts
02:03:21.020 He crucified her
02:03:22.880 From her breasts
02:03:23.380 This devil
02:03:24.440 You know what she did
02:03:25.900 She started smiling
02:03:27.160 She made a dua
02:03:29.060 She said
02:03:30.360 She said
02:03:33.820 My lord
02:03:34.300 Build for me
02:03:36.120 Next to you
02:03:37.620 A house in paradise
02:03:39.480 The way she constructed
02:03:41.480 This prayer was amazing
02:03:42.580 Because the first thing
02:03:44.460 She mentioned
02:03:45.180 Was the place
02:03:46.440 I.e. next to Allah
02:03:47.460 Then she mentioned
02:03:48.520 The house
02:03:48.920 She mentioned
02:03:50.240 Jannah
02:03:50.440 That build for me
02:03:51.260 Next to you
02:03:52.240 In paradise
02:03:53.740 A house
02:03:54.140 So then the scholar
02:03:55.540 Said she chose her neighbor
02:03:56.620 Before she chose her house
02:03:58.180 She wanted to be with Allah
02:03:59.980 Jannah
02:04:01.220 So then when she made that dua
02:04:02.720 In the sky
02:04:04.280 Allah showed her
02:04:05.340 Her house in paradise
02:04:06.000 So she started laughing
02:04:06.820 And they said
02:04:07.140 This woman is insane
02:04:08.080 Why is she laughing
02:04:08.600 We are crucifying her
02:04:09.680 And then
02:04:10.940 Allah took her soul
02:04:11.940 Before
02:04:12.280 You know
02:04:12.900 Before they tortured her
02:04:15.200 So that the pain
02:04:16.460 She would be
02:04:17.380 Subjugated to her torture
02:04:18.160 That's what a real joy is
02:04:20.160 To be with Allah
02:04:20.760 But you know
02:04:21.760 People don't realize
02:04:22.380 That you can have a taste
02:04:23.500 Of that in this life
02:04:24.720 And this
02:04:25.660 This is one of the reasons
02:04:26.540 I give that one
02:04:27.100 I want people to taste that
02:04:28.980 Ibrutamia
02:04:32.160 That same sheikh
02:04:32.980 I told you about earlier
02:04:33.680 He says
02:04:34.820 He said
02:04:36.060 Whoever doesn't enter
02:04:36.740 Paradise in this world
02:04:37.620 Will not enter paradise
02:04:39.040 In the next world
02:04:39.640 What's the paradise
02:04:41.160 In this world
02:04:41.900 It's here
02:04:44.300 It's
02:04:45.780 When you're able to
02:04:47.300 Enter
02:04:47.900 Into prayer
02:04:49.300 And feel that connection
02:04:50.840 To Allah
02:04:51.240 Every day
02:04:53.700 Five times a day
02:04:55.180 You can stand before
02:04:55.740 You can stand before
02:04:55.760 Your Lord
02:04:56.100 And you can talk to
02:04:56.820 And sometimes
02:04:59.060 Our issues
02:04:59.740 We get distracted
02:05:00.460 In the prayer
02:05:00.960 You know
02:05:03.200 If you can work
02:05:04.120 On yourself
02:05:04.820 And get to the point
02:05:05.480 Where you start
02:05:05.880 Focusing on your prayer
02:05:06.840 You start to taste
02:05:08.940 Something
02:05:10.500 Something
02:05:11.380 Something
02:05:11.940 Very far away
02:05:13.680 Of what you're gonna see
02:05:16.080 In paradise
02:05:17.160 When you're actually
02:05:17.700 With Allah
02:05:18.100 So yeah man
02:05:19.920 That's the major
02:05:20.800 Role in paradise
02:05:21.380 So Alhamdulillah
02:05:21.900 You've talked about
02:05:22.660 The reward for the believers
02:05:23.820 Now what is the punishment
02:05:25.780 For the disbelievers
02:05:26.840 What are the disbelievers
02:05:28.800 What's awaiting
02:05:29.960 The disbelievers
02:05:30.820 One of the biggest
02:05:32.300 Punishments
02:05:32.680 The disbelievers get
02:05:33.440 They don't get Allah
02:05:35.380 Allah said
02:05:37.020 On the day
02:05:38.000 The disbelievers
02:05:38.740 Will be
02:05:39.160 Blocked off from Allah
02:05:40.420 If the greatest joy
02:05:42.860 Is to be with Allah
02:05:43.860 One of the greatest pains
02:05:45.300 Is that
02:05:45.660 You have now realized
02:05:47.900 This is the king
02:05:48.880 And I've been distant from him
02:05:50.180 On top of Allah
02:05:51.340 You get the fire
02:05:51.920 Allah said
02:05:53.120 Inna allazina
02:05:53.600 Katharoo bi-ayatina
02:05:54.840 Sofa tushlihim nara
02:05:56.260 Kullama nadijat
02:05:57.660 Julooduhum baddallahum
02:05:58.980 Juloodan ghayraha
02:05:59.980 Liyadhukul adhaab
02:06:00.960 Allah said
02:06:01.780 The people who disbelieved
02:06:02.620 In Allah
02:06:03.160 And the Quran
02:06:03.800 Their skins will be
02:06:06.260 Burned in hell
02:06:06.780 And every time
02:06:08.460 Their skin is burnt
02:06:09.320 Or when the skin is burnt
02:06:11.320 You don't feel no pain
02:06:12.260 Right
02:06:12.480 Allah will give them
02:06:13.380 New pain again
02:06:14.160 And again
02:06:15.300 So they can carry on
02:06:17.180 Feeling the pain
02:06:17.980 For eternity
02:06:18.500 Not just that
02:06:19.780 Allah said
02:06:20.300 When everyone's placed
02:06:21.620 In hellfire
02:06:22.240 Hellfire will say
02:06:23.600 Is there any more
02:06:25.400 Hellfire is so savage
02:06:27.380 By the way
02:06:28.380 Hellfire is not like
02:06:29.100 In Christianity
02:06:29.900 They got a pagan
02:06:30.760 Understanding of hellfire
02:06:31.700 Where it's like
02:06:32.040 A dungeon in the earth
02:06:32.900 Hellfire is a beast
02:06:34.580 Hellfire screams
02:06:36.120 Hellfire roars
02:06:37.020 It's a beast
02:06:37.640 That Allah has created
02:06:38.480 And it swallows them
02:06:40.560 And when they're
02:06:42.100 Inside of hellfire
02:06:42.960 They burn
02:06:44.440 And hellfire says
02:06:45.660 Is there any more
02:06:46.660 Allah wanna burn more
02:06:48.580 Not only that
02:06:49.580 Allah said
02:06:49.960 In the hellfire
02:06:50.720 This is one of the
02:06:51.980 Scariest verses
02:06:52.740 In the Quran
02:06:53.240 They will not be
02:06:54.640 Increased in anything
02:06:56.500 Except more punishment
02:06:58.320 Imagine that
02:06:59.960 For eternity
02:07:00.660 The punishment
02:07:01.440 Keeps getting intense
02:07:02.760 And more intense
02:07:03.920 And more intense
02:07:04.420 And more intense
02:07:04.900 And there are other punishments
02:07:06.360 Allah mentions
02:07:06.940 Your friends
02:07:08.240 Your boys
02:07:09.540 Your influencers
02:07:10.860 The people that
02:07:11.860 You used to follow
02:07:12.360 You're gonna beef them
02:07:14.640 In hellfire
02:07:15.060 So
02:07:15.180 I'm just trying to
02:07:16.240 Get food
02:07:16.780 Yeah we'll get some food
02:07:18.100 In a bit inshallah
02:07:18.500 Yeah
02:07:18.820 So wait for you guys
02:07:19.780 Yes please
02:07:20.460 Inshallah
02:07:21.020 Hellfire
02:07:22.720 The punishment
02:07:23.300 Gets more and more
02:07:24.340 Intense
02:07:24.780 And more and more
02:07:25.760 Intense
02:07:26.200 And also
02:07:28.060 The people that you
02:07:29.080 Follow
02:07:29.320 You'll beef them
02:07:30.340 Imagine
02:07:31.760 You're in
02:07:33.140 Prison
02:07:33.860 With the guy
02:07:35.740 That got you there
02:07:36.360 And you become
02:07:37.240 Worst enemies
02:07:37.880 Inside a prison
02:07:38.800 I brought it
02:07:39.840 Psychological punishments
02:07:41.240 Inside hellfire
02:07:41.980 There's physical punishments
02:07:43.640 In hellfire
02:07:44.240 All sorts man
02:07:45.700 All sorts
02:07:47.620 You heard that Luca?
02:07:50.380 No I'm just kidding
02:07:50.900 That was bad
02:07:56.020 Yeah bro
02:07:57.220 And
02:07:58.160 You know what's shocking
02:08:01.400 The eye I told you about
02:08:02.160 You know when your skin burns
02:08:03.200 This eye
02:08:05.200 Some of the scholars
02:08:05.840 Mentioned actually
02:08:06.380 One of the miracles
02:08:07.280 Of the Quran
02:08:07.800 Because we
02:08:09.400 Didn't know
02:08:10.720 That there were pain receptors
02:08:11.680 In our skin
02:08:12.240 Until the last century
02:08:13.900 That there's pain receptors
02:08:16.120 In the skin
02:08:16.620 And we didn't know this
02:08:18.200 Right
02:08:19.300 The Quran says
02:08:21.360 Every time your skin is burnt
02:08:22.360 You're giving more skin
02:08:23.080 So you can feel the pain again
02:08:24.280 You know why
02:08:24.640 Because the skin receptors
02:08:25.560 Get burnt off
02:08:26.240 How did the Quran know
02:08:27.940 That 1400 years ago
02:08:29.040 If it wasn't from
02:08:29.960 The one who actually
02:08:31.100 Created
02:08:32.140 The skin receptors
02:08:33.300 In the first place
02:08:34.080 Yeah man
02:08:35.360 It's all in there
02:08:36.800 So you've opened up
02:08:38.720 Quite a bit
02:08:39.100 You've been quite vulnerable
02:08:40.000 And you've mentioned
02:08:40.900 Some struggles
02:08:41.500 That you've had
02:08:42.060 What would you say
02:08:43.640 Since you've come up
02:08:45.100 That a demon
02:08:45.500 Has been your
02:08:46.040 Biggest struggle
02:08:47.180 Maybe we can get
02:08:48.600 A man out of the shit
02:08:49.140 For that particular struggle
02:08:50.440 I think it's
02:08:51.620 I think it's
02:08:51.640 The attacks you get
02:08:53.020 For telling the truth
02:08:54.280 Or for speaking up
02:08:55.700 For something
02:08:56.060 That's righteous
02:08:57.420 So would you consider
02:08:59.520 Yourself on a thick skin
02:09:00.560 Or do you feel like
02:09:01.020 It kind of gets to
02:09:01.680 I think
02:09:03.020 I don't know
02:09:04.340 A lot of people
02:09:04.900 That have been able
02:09:05.400 To withstand the things
02:09:06.560 That I've
02:09:06.960 Withstood doing this
02:09:08.180 I think a lot of people
02:09:09.180 Would have caved
02:09:09.640 I think most people
02:09:10.240 Would have
02:09:10.620 So yeah
02:09:12.400 I do consider myself
02:09:13.520 Thick skin
02:09:14.020 And I do enjoy
02:09:15.340 I used to think
02:09:16.660 It was a sick part of me
02:09:17.420 But I do enjoy
02:09:18.380 The tests
02:09:19.140 And thinking like
02:09:20.660 How am I going to
02:09:21.180 Get over this one
02:09:21.840 I like being able
02:09:23.000 To pass the test
02:09:23.680 That Allah gives me
02:09:24.380 That's been the hardest one
02:09:26.420 Is just
02:09:27.080 Withstanding that
02:09:28.600 Because when you're
02:09:29.160 A disbeliever
02:09:30.040 You don't get those attacks
02:09:31.060 You get it
02:09:32.480 It just exists
02:09:33.280 And then people
02:09:33.900 Will laugh
02:09:35.080 And they'll
02:09:35.580 But they're not gonna
02:09:36.920 They're not gonna
02:09:38.700 Test you
02:09:39.620 You just
02:09:40.740 You get to exist
02:09:41.660 In this world
02:09:42.160 You get to exist
02:09:42.720 Within the dunya
02:09:43.340 It's been the hardest
02:09:44.340 Drinking has been easy
02:09:45.180 To get rid of
02:09:45.680 Like all those
02:09:47.180 Little things
02:09:47.680 Like zina
02:09:48.700 That wasn't that hard
02:09:49.720 To get rid of
02:09:50.200 It's just been
02:09:51.060 It's been the pressure
02:09:52.200 Of all the people
02:09:53.400 That are still in that life
02:09:54.480 Attacking you
02:09:55.520 Because they see
02:09:56.940 Inadequacies within themselves
02:09:58.560 So do you have
02:10:00.240 A strong network
02:10:01.560 And circle of brothers
02:10:02.440 That you're with
02:10:02.880 On a day to day
02:10:03.480 No
02:10:03.920 And that's gonna be
02:10:05.400 The key
02:10:05.700 No I don't
02:10:06.920 Because even the
02:10:08.120 Prophet Muhammad
02:10:08.520 Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
02:10:08.900 He had his companions
02:10:10.500 Allah told him in the Quran
02:10:11.860 Make yourself patient
02:10:13.980 With the righteous ones
02:10:14.780 That worship Allah
02:10:15.400 Day and night
02:10:15.920 That's why it's been
02:10:17.020 Great to be out here
02:10:17.740 That's why I don't
02:10:18.540 Want to go back home
02:10:19.140 Until the end of Ramadan
02:10:20.200 But don't go back
02:10:20.920 What's waiting for you
02:10:23.100 Back home
02:10:23.420 Like is there any
02:10:26.040 Is there any reason
02:10:26.780 To be back home
02:10:27.180 Latinas bro
02:10:28.080 Come on
02:10:28.560 That's not what
02:10:29.000 Let's get into it
02:10:29.760 There's Muslim latinas
02:10:30.920 Go marry one
02:10:31.540 Marry four
02:10:32.880 No
02:10:34.420 Honestly
02:10:35.140 Is there a reason
02:10:36.400 For you to go back
02:10:36.900 Well that's the best place
02:10:37.920 To do streaming
02:10:38.740 And content
02:10:39.260 Like I'm not gonna be able
02:10:40.320 To do dawah content
02:10:41.520 Like this
02:10:41.900 Like every day forever
02:10:42.760 It's gonna get stale
02:10:43.620 So I'm gonna go back
02:10:44.840 And I'm gonna go back
02:10:45.740 Into the land of shaitan
02:10:47.000 And you know
02:10:47.800 Try to give
02:10:48.460 Some message of truth
02:10:49.660 Within that world
02:10:50.420 Okay but why can't you
02:10:51.580 Stream from here
02:10:52.160 The time difference
02:10:53.520 The people
02:10:54.080 The access
02:10:54.840 The
02:10:55.220 There's a lot
02:10:56.940 Streaming is online though
02:10:57.740 Yeah
02:10:58.200 So why would be in here
02:10:59.240 Time difference is a huge one
02:11:00.460 There's more collaborations
02:11:01.400 Out there
02:11:02.000 Being within the culture
02:11:03.840 Talking about the culture
02:11:05.000 I wonder if being here
02:11:07.140 Would get you more attention
02:11:09.260 And more eyes
02:11:09.860 Cause bro
02:11:11.160 Dubai is a place
02:11:11.900 For people
02:11:12.200 Bro
02:11:12.560 I use Dubai
02:11:14.480 Dubai is one of my biggest
02:11:16.140 Marketing techniques
02:11:16.940 Anytime I'm gonna promote
02:11:17.900 Something
02:11:18.340 That I'm trying to sell
02:11:19.720 I just put the Burj Khalifa
02:11:20.920 In the background
02:11:21.400 People watch
02:11:22.260 But that's for the UK audience
02:11:24.300 For
02:11:24.640 No no
02:11:25.100 We have massive audience
02:11:27.020 In the USA
02:11:27.440 Massive audience
02:11:28.560 Like in time difference
02:11:30.140 Bro that's
02:11:30.500 That's easy
02:11:31.140 We can fix that easily
02:11:32.120 Bro
02:11:32.380 Like we can
02:11:33.320 Just wait
02:11:34.360 Adjust your sleep slightly
02:11:35.940 You get night shift workers
02:11:37.700 Right
02:11:37.960 Yeah
02:11:38.480 But like
02:11:39.220 Honestly
02:11:39.860 Is there anything
02:11:40.880 Holding you back
02:11:41.520 Bro here
02:11:42.020 The networking abilities
02:11:44.120 Connections
02:11:45.020 Yeah we're seeing
02:11:45.580 Tomorrow I was gonna go
02:11:46.340 See some real estate
02:11:47.100 You know
02:11:47.480 I think about it
02:11:48.340 Last time
02:11:48.780 I was here
02:11:49.700 I was almost gonna get
02:11:50.680 Property with my friend
02:11:51.960 Myron from Fresh and Fit
02:11:52.960 A good brother
02:11:53.560 I've come close to doing it
02:11:56.040 Is he Muslim by the way
02:11:56.860 He is
02:11:57.380 I would love to meet him as well
02:11:58.440 Yeah
02:11:58.720 I could introduce you
02:11:59.560 But it just seems like
02:12:00.460 Miami's the best place
02:12:02.400 I have to admit
02:12:02.940 For streaming
02:12:03.760 For doing what I do
02:12:05.140 It's just the best area
02:12:06.120 To be in
02:12:06.580 But is there
02:12:07.400 Is there an element of it
02:12:08.400 That requires you
02:12:08.960 To be in Miami
02:12:09.860 Yeah
02:12:11.480 Because you can calibrate only
02:12:12.300 Yeah
02:12:13.320 Yeah you can
02:12:14.560 But do you feel like
02:12:15.400 The fitness is also
02:12:16.000 Bigger in Miami as well
02:12:16.860 It is
02:12:18.600 There's a principle
02:12:20.760 In the religion
02:12:21.220 That the pain
02:12:22.280 The harm
02:12:22.800 Usually takes precedence
02:12:24.540 Of winning the good
02:12:25.160 And as you said
02:12:25.840 Or as I said
02:12:27.460 That it may be
02:12:28.320 That hair is better for you
02:12:29.460 It's either
02:12:30.540 If it's better for you
02:12:31.240 It's great
02:12:31.480 If it's not better for you
02:12:32.740 Than the
02:12:33.560 The fitness for the earlier
02:12:34.520 You mentioned
02:12:34.860 Which is that
02:12:35.620 If you leave something
02:12:36.760 For the sake of Allah
02:12:37.440 Allah will bless you
02:12:38.800 Something like that
02:12:39.260 And Abu Rasheed
02:12:40.720 But the environment
02:12:41.780 Plays a big role
02:12:42.600 And you know the prophet
02:12:43.740 He loved Mecca
02:12:44.920 I love Mecca
02:12:46.060 I've been three times
02:12:46.960 And he loved
02:12:47.840 But they kicked
02:12:48.400 He had to leave Mecca
02:12:49.280 For the sake of Allah
02:12:50.040 Because he couldn't
02:12:51.080 Practice his religion there
02:12:51.960 And when he left Mecca
02:12:53.160 He looked back at the Ka'bah
02:12:54.240 And he said
02:12:54.600 I love you
02:12:55.300 And had it not been
02:12:56.880 For your people
02:12:57.420 Driving me out
02:12:58.140 I would have never left it
02:12:58.960 He went back
02:13:00.220 He was patient
02:13:01.540 He built everything in Medina
02:13:03.180 Then he went back
02:13:04.120 And conquered Mecca
02:13:04.820 But he can go back
02:13:06.900 And conquer Miami
02:13:07.500 Inshallah
02:13:08.020 But I feel like right now
02:13:09.820 Look I get nothing
02:13:13.100 Out of this right
02:13:13.700 I'm just
02:13:14.180 You get some good deeds
02:13:15.940 Yeah apart from that
02:13:17.280 In the sense of which
02:13:18.320 But I mean I have no
02:13:19.440 Vested interest here
02:13:20.200 But just I always feel like
02:13:21.520 I have to keep it real
02:13:22.080 With my brothers
02:13:22.520 Leaving the lands
02:13:24.580 Of the disbelievers
02:13:25.200 Is obligatory
02:13:26.040 And you

02:15:13.140 They love it
02:15:14.940 Especially for reverse
02:15:15.520 You've already experienced that
02:15:16.360 In Mecca Medina
02:15:18.180 Yeah
02:15:18.680 Especially for reverse
02:15:20.300 Especially
02:15:20.640 Don't let you pay for your food
02:15:22.080 I know
02:15:22.480 We want to be banking on that
02:15:23.560 Every time we pay for
02:15:24.180 New Muslim
02:15:24.760 New Muslim
02:15:25.220 New Muslim
02:15:26.920 It's been a year
02:15:27.840 That's still pretty new
02:15:29.620 Muslim Jadid
02:15:30.400 Muslim Jadid
02:15:31.240 Yeah
02:15:31.520 And I'll tell you something bro
02:15:33.960 Look
02:15:34.420 I don't feel like
02:15:35.260 Look
02:15:35.440 You know what
02:15:35.960 So many people
02:15:37.820 Want to do hijrah
02:15:38.440 You know what hijrah is right
02:15:39.920 No
02:15:40.300 Hijrah is leaving the land
02:15:41.820 Of the disbelievers
02:15:42.480 It's something we're required to do
02:15:43.840 Right
02:15:44.600 To go to the lands of the Muslims
02:15:45.500 So many people
02:15:46.480 That want to do hijrah
02:15:46.940 But they can't
02:15:47.320 You know why
02:15:47.680 Because they don't have
02:15:48.420 The access and the money
02:15:49.160 Right
02:15:49.720 Nine to five
02:15:50.940 You don't have that bro
02:15:52.300 But you're blessed
02:15:53.340 It's like Allah
02:15:54.720 Has lined you up for hijrah bro
02:15:56.120 It's like Allah
02:15:56.760 Has lined you up
02:15:57.400 Your money
02:15:58.180 You make
02:15:58.520 Your online
02:15:58.900 Everything's online
02:15:59.500 And at the very least
02:16:00.540 Just try it
02:16:01.420 So you know what
02:16:02.220 Make a commitment
02:16:02.600 Say Allah
02:16:03.020 I'm going to do one year
02:16:04.720 Okay one year
02:16:05.620 Sounds like too much
02:16:06.260 Six months
02:16:07.240 But if you seem like a man
02:16:09.080 And I love this
02:16:10.320 And I feel like
02:16:11.120 This is a quality
02:16:11.600 Of a real man
02:16:12.220 Is that he has the ability
02:16:13.620 To commit to something
02:16:14.560 He has the ability
02:16:15.500 To control his carnal desires
02:16:16.960 So I don't rate a man
02:16:18.020 Who makes a promise
02:16:19.580 To himself
02:16:20.240 And he breaks it
02:16:21.120 Do you understand
02:16:21.520 Let alone when he makes
02:16:23.000 A promise to Allah
02:16:23.480 But I feel like
02:16:23.900 You've got that in you
02:16:24.560 I'm going to
02:16:25.220 Six months to a year
02:16:26.680 Stick it out
02:16:27.200 This is not prison
02:16:28.940 This is a playground
02:16:30.080 I feel like
02:16:32.820 For people that want to
02:16:34.100 Leave the lands of the disbelievers
02:16:35.140 Allah made it so easy for them
02:16:37.560 Allah gave you Dubai
02:16:38.780 Which is a playground
02:16:40.000 And you can
02:16:40.820 Look
02:16:41.620 Everyone in the world
02:16:42.380 Has got its pros
02:16:42.840 Has got its cons
02:16:43.280 Has got its ups
02:16:43.720 Has got its downs
02:16:44.240 But if you want to enjoy
02:16:45.440 The finer things in life
02:16:46.180 And still have a mischief
02:16:47.420 On every street
02:16:48.080 And good brothers
02:16:48.640 It makes no sense
02:16:50.420 To not be out here
02:16:51.220 Makes no sense
02:16:52.480 Akhi the business opportunities
02:16:54.140 Speak to the brother
02:16:55.700 Jules
02:16:56.540 Again these are not brothers
02:16:58.780 I know I'm not connected with them
02:16:59.720 But I like to keep up
02:17:01.140 He says the same thing
02:17:02.340 That's why I said
02:17:03.140 Shout out to the tutorial
02:17:04.020 I saw a video
02:17:06.060 Of him saying the same thing
02:17:06.720 He said I came in 15 years ago
02:17:08.000 I had nothing but a suit
02:17:09.000 He said
02:17:09.360 And look at that Allah
02:17:10.920 Look at what he made
02:17:11.600 And akhi look
02:17:12.480 You've got the network
02:17:13.400 And your network
02:17:14.640 What is your net worth
02:17:15.800 And one day you're going to have a family
02:17:17.600 Right
02:17:17.840 You plan to get married
02:17:18.800 And children
02:17:19.360 Yeah
02:17:19.780 I'm telling you
02:17:20.380 You do not want to raise them
02:17:21.460 You've seen
02:17:22.200 You've been there
02:17:22.720 We've all grown up in the west
02:17:24.140 And we've seen what it does
02:17:25.100 And you know
02:17:25.800 For children
02:17:26.360 For families
02:17:27.000 It's not that ideal place
02:17:28.000 Here you've got massaging
02:17:28.860 Absolutely everywhere
02:17:29.540 The environment
02:17:29.980 The safety
02:17:30.600 You don't have to worry about
02:17:31.800 You know
02:17:31.960 We can have a nice watch
02:17:32.800 Someone you know
02:17:33.320 Rubbing you
02:17:33.760 You know
02:17:34.180 Shooting you
02:17:34.640 Just for your watch
02:17:35.500 Silly dumb things like that
02:17:36.920 I promise you
02:17:37.900 Every single person that I know
02:17:39.400 That has moved here
02:17:40.300 I said it's been one of the best decisions
02:17:42.000 Of their life
02:17:42.680 And I promise you
02:17:43.940 If you
02:17:44.340 If you stay
02:17:45.460 You'll feel the same
02:17:46.980 If you go back
02:17:47.760 You'll regret it
02:17:48.820 And I was like
02:17:49.340 Whatever your fears are
02:17:51.320 Just go to the
02:17:52.940 I'm not sure if anyone's spoken to you
02:17:54.140 About this
02:17:54.440 But you're connected
02:17:55.320 You know these brothers
02:17:57.240 Like I said
02:17:58.260 I only see them online
02:17:59.060 I don't know them personally
02:17:59.900 But brothers like Tam
02:18:01.140 Brothers like Jules
02:18:01.960 Go to these brothers
02:18:02.660 Say look brothers
02:18:03.160 On a real one
02:18:03.800 I want to come live in a Muslim country
02:18:05.580 I'm a bit scared
02:18:06.400 A bit nervous
02:18:06.780 I'm a bit anxious
02:18:08.300 I don't really know
02:18:09.620 What I'm going to do here
02:18:10.760 Advise me
02:18:11.620 Guide me
02:18:12.400 Is there anything
02:18:12.880 I can't imagine
02:18:15.100 That your fellow Muslim brothers
02:18:16.520 Are going to leave you stranded
02:18:17.220 And I just like
02:18:18.640 I'll tell you something
02:18:19.600 You know
02:18:20.040 One of the things I love
02:18:22.360 About
02:18:23.240 About
02:18:23.660 About this deen
02:18:25.040 Is this concept of
02:18:25.780 Tawakkul
02:18:26.120 Reliance upon Allah
02:18:27.000 Before you finish up more
02:18:28.040 Can you change the battery
02:18:28.880 You were saying
02:18:31.620 Taqwa
02:18:31.980 Yeah
02:18:32.420 Tawakkul
02:18:33.320 Tawakkul means reliance upon Allah
02:18:34.960 And I love this concept
02:18:36.500 You know
02:18:37.620 Reliance
02:18:39.020 Imagine reliance upon Allah
02:18:40.120 Like you're
02:18:40.700 You're falling
02:18:41.580 Down a cliff
02:18:42.840 Free falling
02:18:44.040 And then a rope grabs you
02:18:46.540 That's the rope of Allah
02:18:48.060 And this unbreakable rope
02:18:50.760 And then it pulls you up
02:18:52.000 And you're safe
02:18:52.680 And this concept of Tawakkul
02:18:54.020 You know
02:18:54.740 When it really comes into play
02:18:56.640 And when I love it
02:18:58.480 When it comes into play
02:18:59.140 Is when you burn the bridges
02:19:00.520 I'll give you an example
02:19:02.180 There was a famous warrior
02:19:03.800 Tariq ibn Ziyad
02:19:05.800 16 year old January
02:19:08.380 Led a Muslim army
02:19:09.640 Against the Christians in Spain
02:19:11.260 He came to Gibraltar
02:19:13.180 Gibraltar is actually named after him
02:19:15.580 Because
02:19:15.840 In Arabic
02:19:16.720 Jabal Tariq
02:19:17.740 Means mountain of Tariq
02:19:19.300 Jabal Tariq
02:19:20.740 Became Gibraltar
02:19:21.660 Right
02:19:22.220 The mountain of Tariq
02:19:23.140 That was the name of the general
02:19:24.260 So when he came there
02:19:25.860 His army was weak
02:19:27.240 It had low numbers
02:19:29.080 It wasn't strong enough
02:19:31.180 To what
02:19:31.660 From the outset
02:19:32.700 To conquer the
02:19:33.480 The Christian empire
02:19:34.580 Of Spain
02:19:35.700 So you know what he did
02:19:36.720 He looked at all of his soldiers
02:19:38.280 Imagine a 16 year old man
02:19:40.380 He said burn all the ships
02:19:42.280 Burn all the ships
02:19:44.320 He said either we defeat them
02:19:45.920 And take over Spain
02:19:46.640 Or you drown
02:19:47.740 I love that
02:19:50.360 I love
02:19:51.860 I love
02:19:52.280 Just burn the bridge
02:19:53.680 Give it to Allah
02:19:55.540 And let your Lord take you
02:19:57.380 Ibrahim did this
02:19:58.880 When they were thrown
02:19:59.740 Prophet Abraham
02:20:00.320 When they thrown him
02:20:00.960 Into the fire
02:20:01.400 To burn him
02:20:01.960 When he's in mid flight
02:20:04.760 The angel Gabriel comes to him
02:20:06.660 He says
02:20:06.940 Do you need any help
02:20:07.600 He says
02:20:08.700 Not from you
02:20:09.180 So Allah speaks to the fire
02:20:11.720 And says
02:20:12.120 Be cool
02:20:13.120 And peaceful
02:20:14.440 For Abraham
02:20:15.740 And he's in the fire
02:20:17.200 Having the time of his life
02:20:18.000 Likewise
02:20:19.840 Just to bring it back
02:20:21.140 I don't watch movies
02:20:22.640 Because movies have a lot of
02:20:23.700 Problems in their music
02:20:24.940 Women
02:20:25.340 All this that and the other
02:20:26.180 But it was the last movie
02:20:28.040 I ever saw
02:20:28.680 It was the last Batman
02:20:30.660 With Bane
02:20:31.140 And there was a scene in there
02:20:32.960 That really really
02:20:33.660 Really like
02:20:34.380 Took me in
02:20:35.280 The reason I mention this
02:20:35.900 Is because there might be
02:20:36.260 Some normal listeners listening
02:20:37.040 And they might say
02:20:37.860 Okay cool
02:20:38.220 I don't really get the story
02:20:38.880 Of Abraham
02:20:39.220 I don't really get the story
02:20:40.420 Of Tariq and Ziyad
02:20:41.100 So let me tell you
02:20:41.940 About Batman
02:20:42.280 So when he's
02:20:44.360 You know he's in that prison
02:20:46.180 Underground
02:20:46.640 That prison underground
02:20:47.400 Yeah
02:20:47.680 You guys have seen the movie
02:20:48.980 You know what I'm talking about
02:20:49.620 Yeah
02:20:49.860 He's in the prison underground
02:20:50.760 And he's got to have a rope
02:20:52.080 Where he's got to swing
02:20:53.420 To get out
02:20:54.420 And every time he swings
02:20:56.000 What happens
02:20:56.540 He doesn't make it
02:20:58.120 He doesn't make it
02:20:58.700 He keeps crashing into the wall
02:20:59.580 And he goes to that old man
02:21:02.420 And he says to him
02:21:04.000 The old man's trying to tell him
02:21:05.580 How to get through
02:21:06.160 And Batman says to him
02:21:07.520 I'm not scared
02:21:08.960 He said
02:21:10.800 That's your problem
02:21:11.460 It should be
02:21:13.040 Yeah you don't have fear
02:21:14.340 To motivate you
02:21:15.360 He said
02:21:15.820 Don't use the rope
02:21:16.880 Don't use the rope
02:21:19.360 Like when you don't have the rope
02:21:21.880 And you have to make that jump
02:21:22.960 You will
02:21:24.080 That's survival mode
02:21:25.060 You have to get it
02:21:25.740 So that's what I'm saying
02:21:26.860 Yeah
02:21:27.160 Just cut the rope
02:21:28.200 Yeah
02:21:28.700 But you see Batman
02:21:29.600 He left the rope
02:21:31.060 He had no rope
02:21:31.740 When we cut that material rope
02:21:33.800 The rope of Allah picks us
02:21:35.800 Till last time
02:21:37.460 Let's end on that man
02:21:40.640 Mashallah
