i mean most of the brits are now double jabbed i don't i don't get it what's the what's the situation here nora what is look at this deep question straight away people going straight on to laurel mafuth

you know i love how people think somebody let's say who studied islam has very clear understandings of the unknowable [Laughter] tell us what is local mafus exactly [Laughter] how precisely does revelation was it revealed what is the nature of revelation ontologically

i don't i think they overestimate what learning is about yeah right so

right what is going on people yeah you know much of life isn't about you see this learning is epic learning has its own flavor it has a chest car to it just sky bars just car and it should have a just car you know this kind of like a buzz and in that sense one could say learning elm is addictive and it is i must say i

will try at least every single day to learn something new every single day um i don't know maybe there's been some days where i haven't maybe but almost every day i will learn something new i will and usually it me it may just be certain things are often i'm we're learning things by uh by coincidence or just incidentally sorry so for example you might be going through social media depending on the kind of pages you

follow if you're just following tick tock trends then i doubt it but maybe you're following other pages maybe you're following pages on physics on science on medicine on breakthroughs on on positive news not just uh i not news in the sense of news is terrible i on a side note i'd advise everyone to keep your news keep your learning of the news to a minimum don't be completely oblivious obviously you

have to be in the world in a participatory manner but keep it somewhat limited because the news sells by means of negativity and by means of shock and awe that that is the the strategy for for for news to sell so if you're going to put the news on and the worst thing you could ever do to yourself even the shaytan wouldn't be able to cause a daily a gradual work you know like a such

damage to you on a daily basis as you would to yourself if you began your day with the news it is the most terrible thing you could ever do because you you just all you do is you absorb this negativity you begin your day with such and such a person got killed such and such dead body was found such and such stabbings took place robberies happened you know so many people died in some part of the world because of this disaster this political turmoil is leading to

incredible instability in a certain part of the world the gdp is down kovid is that's killing people i mean that's a terrible thing to do to yourself to begin the day like that um it's it's treacherous you want to begin your day with positivity you want to begin it with something fresh upbeat something that maybe reading something positive maybe listening to something

um that is inspiring you see focus humanity compassion love blessings positivity do your salah maybe you do you will you freshen up cup of coffee you smile the world in its face or smile at the world in its face and that's how you want to begin but keeping abreast with the news is fine but not too much i think no matter what time of the day

but if you are following general positive news if i can call it positive news like let's say breakthroughs um just facts fascinating things you're always learning but that's not the kind of learning i'm talking about when i'm saying on a daily basis i learn that kind of learning takes place of course um i may be following certain pages in fact today there was something about boris johnson saying that he's looking to legalize or looking towards legalizing psilocybin from mushrooms from

sacred medicine magic mushrooms because of its benefits and i shared it on my insta story those that don't follow my instagram follow it man in in this dunya you must always be giving see giving is living people so and i and i i wrote that you know it's it's only now that if when these people legalize these useless governments they are always they're not all useless but many of them like bojo can be quite useless

when they legitimize something only then will the blind have partial sight to see what god has hidden in his magnificent creation we refer to as nature so people they they're but that that's something my my learning on a daily basis and i advise you all is investigative learning so what i tend to do is often during the day or even if not before going to sleep i tend to do i know it's not always a good thing to be on your phone and stuff like this before going to sleep but

what i will do then is i will pursue a series of questions often my research let's say if i'm searching something islamic or that in that realm uh it will be an arab week so i may have an investigative question and i'm gonna type it in and then i'll get another response and i'll read that and type in another question and and i'm kind of developing this this learning thing i mentioned last week i don't know why but of of recent of late i've been quite obsessed with the pre-islamic tribe tribes they had in arabia i don't

even know why how i got into this i've just got into it and for some reason i'm like hooked on it i'll be i'll be searching like uh you know i'll be looking up cha so you know what was how you know i'll be looking at the relationship between bunny bunny and bubba and bunny let's say bunny tamim and then understanding a char so this tribe did this and this tribe and then and i don't even know why but i seem to have got hooked on to it

so let's get let's get down with this uh crypto is booming yep that's that's true i just saw that today i was like i like it this one i like it plenty of investments in crypto so that's something i have a my kind of feeling about anyway that crypto is the future so to me i'm invested in that anyway so i i did notice that today i was like wow a surprise attack i saw

uh bmb was up ether ethereum bitcoin the main ones i was like i like it i like it so corvid hmm yeah i have a session on where i speak about the raven and crows um it's on youtube where i speak about the two sons of adam and allah mentioning the crow or the raven and it's incredibly fascinating they are

you know one of the most intelligent creatures that humans have studied they have a unique capacity for facial recognition they can recognize human faces i mean that they can recognize them with with like immense accuracy and it's just wow it's mind-boggling the capacity and the qualities that ravens have of of recent times they've become associated with negativity people see them as bad luck and so on

but in in historic uh historically they weren't seen like that they were seen positively and they are quite unique creatures and they have this uh this if i'd i'd like to call it a tradition that where they mourn or apparently perceptibly mourn their dead so the kind of the murder they call them you know a flock of uh crows it's called a murder right so the murder kind of they gather around the dead crow and they seem to kind of stand over it

in almost like a kind of geneza and they they stand there for you know maybe 20 minutes or whatever it is and they just mourn the dead and they investigate how it died they learn from that you see allahu akbar the signs allah has hidden for us in nature you know we so much to learn from right i see saracen shukran much love for the super chat mufti you think brown parents guilt-trip their children without

letting them reach their potential eg forcing them to become doctors and not actors well okay there's several um several elements to that question so first of all do i think that they uh guilt-trip them well guilt-tripping unfortunately is done by many muslim parents it's unfortunate but it is the case there's a lot of guilt tripping in many areas not just see you've highlighted

here education dare i say with much embarrassment that in the uk the muslim community is not one that prides itself on education neither is it one that pushes the children towards becoming doctors or engineers or the typical where you're thinking back about pakistan or india where people think like that my son or my daughter will become a doctor or they'll become usually they just used to think son but now some of them would probably think daughter as well

here in the uk in the u.s i think it is like that and in canada so but in the uk the pakistani community here are are unfortunately very sheltered from a horizon of education so they don't really value education maybe the odd muslims do but they seem to be the exception to the rule maybe now things are slightly changing but they haven't tipped the scale significantly yet because

um it's you see the muslims here come from very rural background so they don't it's not that they don't believe um it's not that they don't value doctors or things like that but i think there's a story we all carry an ancient script within us on some levels perhaps an even more ancient script as carl jung would would argue but we carry a script within us and this script for many of these muslims in the uk is one of um

i've like learned failure that they that they don't believe they are capable of they just don't believe that it's not they don't see themself in that image and therefore it doesn't happen and they don't push on education i do and i do accept now it is slightly slightly changing with with the next generation that are all born here so some of their parents who are so you've got the first generation who came over the second generation were born here and now the third generation and maybe in some cases there's some

elements of the fourth generation with them it may it's it may be changing but still the guilt tripping thing your right potential you do have to understand as well i want to say a little point here you have to understand that look parents or people that are older they are looking at the world from their perspective to be honest i i could kind of see why somebody would say i can see why somebody would say what on earth do you

want to become an actor for i'm i'm just this is just you know hard truths here i'm just being honest i could i can see that if somebody said to me i want to become an actor i'd think because you see you're looking at it from pragmatism and realism you're not looking at it from an ideal sense that oh oh that's amazing you want to be an actor

you're looking at it like from you know this world there's a lot more grit in reality and where will that get this person in life so you can see why many parents will be concerned they are coming they they will be speaking from their own perspective and from a place of compassion towards the child's future in some cases they may they may be wrong in some cases they may not be believe it or not so it's true that you see many the world

has changed today so there are many in fact even young people right now by the time they mature it would have changed again so but there are you know huge professions today which the elder generation can't understand like if you told them oh i want to do this they'll think well what on earth is in that how would you sustain a living well you know you can't explain a lot of these things to them even let's say crypto how would you explain i mean you can try to explain but

you see they're from a different world so there's many points where they will miss the mark and you are right you know you have to sometimes you know if you follow your dreams or if you follow your thinking mind and it will get you somewhere but there are some you know they are on certain points as well we have to you see we have to be careful remember the nietzschean um law that or if we can call it the lord that when you fight monsters you should beware lest you become a monster that when fighting this mentality of this judgmental mentality let's not become judgmental

it's true there's many things if a person just said i'm doing it for the sake of my passion you have to worry for them that this passion is not going to feed you so you have to be slightly creative but on the emotional guilt thing i would say that it's important to highlight there's a lot of that when it comes to muslims and relationships a lot of that in fact it's not a lot it's like an ocean worth they just pour this emotional guilt into

marrying their kids to place where it totally does not it's not a suitable fit it's a disaster and i don't know you see to peer you see what it is to the older community everybody is basing life on their own experiences so when what they come from they they may have been born and raised in pakistan let's say or india or bangladesh or egypt or you know the middle east so and especially the desi community you

see back then what would happen is a child is i say child a young person is now dosing around too much so what's the solution what's the solution people tell me see your son is let's say he's loitering around you know chilling out too much he's just playing cricket all day he's just going for these walks with his friends and coming back at evening so they say yeah bigger guy this guy's this kid's is he's kind of he's become spoiled in their version of spoiled so what's the solution you got it

marry him off they say you see with responsibility comes maturity now you know in some way in their setting and their environment that kind of worked back then so you take a rural setting so let's say somebody lives in a village and they've got crops to look after or you know some people work on crops or they've got some animals and let's say his family look after them but he's just chilling out with his friends not really doing it and there's not much you can do in a village but he's not taking things that seriously and all of a sudden he's

married so now it's like well you know when he's going he's leaving home in the morning they'll be like well you know and the wife will be like i need a b and c and then he he'll be like oh damn i gotta get this as well i've got to get that and then he's like oh my god you know he gets she she may say well you know for food make sure you remember to bring this he's like oh yes i got to get that and damn i got to get log wood and you know i gotta get you know gotta make the fire get that sorted and oh i forgot all about this yesterday i better set off earlier today because this happened and then a child comes along the way and they're like oh my god now the child needs this

and and these concerns and worries do mature a person because once that kind of responsibility the person no longer is you know the same person two years ago just loitering around they've got all this oh no i better bring this home i better do that but so in the environment this worked you know you go back 40 years this worked you go back 30 years in pakistan in the village this was working so what's happened is the parents then they you know they migrate that that concept

to the uk or to the us or to europe but here it doesn't work because here you don't need to go chop firewood and check if the the cows are tied up or the milk you know everything life is okay you're still gonna have running water you're still gonna have the gas is still gonna be running okay you could do some job and get some money and get something from the state and you see it doesn't mature you because it's a different environment so the parents are still migrating their own old concepts and trying them here

and in the process they're ruining lives because the relationship is a disaster and and to get the children into it they usually emotionally blackmail them so this is something really the muslim community needs to walk it needs to walk away from instantly this this whole thing of blackmailing people and i say blackmail they'll emotionally blackmail you know i'm not talking to you you know it's like well you and and then kids i say kids but okay these young people they then get married

they don't know how to handle it and it becomes a disaster and then you ruin another person's life in the process and god forbid these children and now the children are so this kind of stuff may allah grant people ease i speak to people almost if not daily every other day and there's issues like this serious issues may allah make things easy i mean and they and there are i get the fact that people are also moving away from these kind of to more independent self-driven let's say their own relationships and

there's a lot of that as well and really we need to dedicate a whole session to talking about things like this because i would say as well that we see when it comes to things like relationships one of the most important lessons if somebody just asked me recently about you know people trying to enter relationships with certain advantages and certain things you see i i've said that you have to remember something if there's one law you can take with you is don't

as far as the intent is concerned don't hurt people this is you cannot stress this enough whatever your understanding is amongst yourself that's fine but don't hurt people because this people have no idea how much devastation continues you set like an avalanche into motion and so that's the just one thing that i would really stress right let's move on

all right so look at this we've got talk about dmt already they drink ios well of course relationships marriages these things people enter them as you see there should be clear understanding it doesn't matter what you see people

everyone's different so people will have different they will be coming from a different perspective and they everybody may have strengths and weaknesses but and i'm not saying you a person needs to be in say these are all my weaknesses you know you don't need to list them like that just insult yourself for free [Laughter] i can't remember there was somebody who came to was shabby i believe he was a

great uh shabby is a great scholar of the turban i believe it was him somebody came to and and uh i believe a woman and she said something about her husband she was trying to say um she was trying to say oh he i think she wanted affirmation that he said he's an all right kind of guy isn't he though oh no sorry no no no not the wife the man came himself he's talking to her shall be and shavi says to him look of course and and then in the process

he just lists so many of his weaknesses says to him you know seriously he says you know putting aside he says he says so what if you know your puny and you you're kind of like bd-i'd go glide and you've got like skinny calves but you've got a solid heart like i was thinking yeah um that's a nice double backhand compliment right there

right so please tell us about your 5mp um multi could you dedicate a series of episodes on the various mamluk turkic afghan mughal sultanates brought islam sure why not why not inshallah right so leg day yep definitely very important right people let's take a look at some

of the rules today and then what i'm going to do is share out the link and we can get a few of you on and then we can maybe move on with tonight's session some of you take a rest arabic what is it what's uh the poet he says says

[Laughter] he says now it says putting aside a deep profound melancholy apart from that whoever else we meet it's often only brief and seldom meaning this is what we often meet right mufti remember my super chat the super

chat mr superchat let me see youtube due to shorter days and works if we miss what is the money to pray gaza inshallah looking forward to book club end of the month much love for the super chat and those of you that don't know ibn faranas was in uh was not not our ibn affirmative was an amazing muslim um scientist if you'd like to call him that or or uh somebody who came up with great

inventions it one of the most profound curious minds in islamic history and he tried to invent a one could say almost like a prototype of a plane uh in his own uh day and age and was severely wounded as well in in the process but yeah so to make up for salah you simply pray the the part of the prayer whenever you can pray it so it's as simple as that so you're saying if you come back and you're gonna pray them with isha you can pray them

with isha okay guys let's i wanted to share once again as uh a discussion that i have had previously and it's about opportunities and it's just looking at a surah that may not immediately leap at you on the topic of opportunities but it's all about perspective you see we could take a look at surah abbas

incredibly famous very popular well known about frowning and turning away now everybody knows about this surah and it's something which it has its original uh its fundamental meaning everybody knows that most mufasalin would say this was speaking about the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam and when uh ibn maktoum came and the prophet was doing da'wah but if nomi maktoum was interrupting and it was it was quite inconveniencing

and we know that that's the base meaning but you see one of the um i keep saying this that one of the most miraculous features of the quran is whatever you bring to it it will also intimate meanings that reflect what's going on in your life that there are multiple meanings the quran will give it will have its base meaning but it will always give multiple meanings to people that are reading it about some people have by the way challenged that with the with the base

meaning the original meaning the frowning that this was not the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam this was somebody else and that may be possible as well there's not really that's not the point of discussion some people have said it may have been uh um some people have said it may have been different people it's not really too uh relevant with what we're discussing i don't personally believe that it's a problem in any way in trying to say that oh this was the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam

this is not something that the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam according to the main view that most of the muslims say that was the prophet with the with the original or the base meaning that abu sabha it's not that the prophet was frowning upon this person for being like that but it was that the person came because he was blind he was interrupting he was interrupting a uh and the prophet was in a in in a gathering in a meeting with the chiefs of that tribe and this was

inconveniencing because it's like we understand he's got his reasons but he was barging in and he was inconveniencing and ibrahim writes in his tafsir the great maliki scholar that look how with that let's say let's go with that narrative that narrative in mind look how beautifully expressed these ayat are that how allah is addressing them in the third person but not with the kind of not in a kind of rebuking manner but just so

just just just explaining the nature of what happens in the world so that's the the meaning but what i wanted to share with you guys is you take a look at this surah and i have spoken of this previously and i want you to think of yourself in life how many times have you frowned and turned away from something that has come to you how many opportunities

may have come to you in life but you turned away from them you thought as in that this not about the blind but that this opportunity is something that you see as with a defect that this defective opportunity has come to me it could have been in your personal life it could have been about work an opportunity a job and a a business a business opportunity that's arisen for you could have been

on relationships it could have been about a friendship it could have been just an adventure in life how many parts opened up in front of you but you see allah saying how do you know that whether that would have brought about fruits for you see how do you oh yes

see or maybe it would have developed you in certain ways that you couldn't at the you you you can't envisage that see now that's interesting that is that this here the one about being independent or seeking also rich wealth that how often have you and i include myself we thought that not this defective thing we want something absolute about riches you know we we don't want something

that's just ah damn we it's got to be a hundred out of a hundred i just want that great you know it's got to be either that job or nothing that career or nothing either my business takes off in in this way or nothing either i i marry an absolute supermodel or nothing

fantastic you set your eyes on these other things that you are all about you will cater for them you will go out of your way for them you see all of a sudden these verses they give a different meaning

see how do you know that these things may not bring fruits they may just bring struggles sorrows difficulties [Music] see but that which comes to you see with this secondary tertiary meanings here i'm not going with the here we've got a person but by extension this could be speaking about opportunities that come to you striving they come to you and

you're too busy turning away who wants that see sometimes it's interesting like think about it that you have no idea where allah is bringing your risk from no idea behind this what could appear just as a tiny behind they could be a powerful stream just awaiting to be unlocked but you're like yeah i don't want it's got to be it's got to be that or nothing

tell so often we have to understand that in life allah may hide almost like gift wrap several countless opportunities countless blessings may maybe sometimes wrapped in something that just appears mediocre or it appears with somewhat of a little struggle to it

i've got to get up and do this i've got to learn that i've got to you know put a bit of effort into this but that's just the gift wrap [Laughter] that maybe a lie is hidden in that great blessings for us and in uh there's there's a poem by muttanabi where he says um he's actually speaking about the calamities of a people but he's speaking about how even in that there are

opportunities for other people he says oh says the calamities of a certain people are but just are just but just benefits to another people so it is often just about perspective and it's so important to always remind ourselves maybe something's difficult maybe something difficult is going on in our lives and we have to just pick ourselves up just keep going look out for these little things

but yeah i wanted to share that right mufti i was the first mirpori to get into yale [Laughter] khalik you've done us proud [Laughter] so kids want to be youtubers nowadays there was a meme that i was where the person says he's building up like i'm gonna do this i'm gonna learn about this i'm gonna

grow up no this is it i'm going to grow up to be an astronaut i'm going to be a doctor i'm going to be an engineer then the final one is welcome back to my youtube channel guys [Laughter] well youtube uh youtube is youtube is good youtube is good all right so gold globe you do any much love shook and shook him for the super sticker chaos is a ladder i don't know what that means

uh rosie shukran for that greetings from nigeria from we've got greetings from jersey in the channel islands alright so we're talking about people ah what might happen so what is going on today people

so my most favorite all right is the live paused i hope not i hope not so let's move on to i want to share as well since it was people were speaking about the seerah and this is for by the way i saw this quote this is a quote i've shared previously by jalaluddin that as you start to walk on the on the path or the way the way appears that

this is something which once again it was about opportunities if people are feeling ever down don't worry about it just trust the process right it being rabial and the many people speaking about the life of the prophet sallallahu alaihi sallam and it's it was mauled earlier this week and there's the age-old discussion that people will say look should we celebrate molead or not to me these kind of questions don't really mean much

it's up to people people want to celebrate it they can people don't want to celebrate it they don't have to there's nothing in the quran that speaks about the birthdays of the prophets or anything like this and this was a practice that began in either the it began in the abbasid era around the fifth century some people say it began of islam so about four five hundred years after the prophet some people say it began in the fourth century with the fatimids uh dynasty either way it's something that wasn't there in in early islam

it is an innovation but the question is is it bothersome is it harmful to do is it an issue in islam if people do it i would say look there's a difference of opinion on it people have disagreed mainly the shafteria seem to be quite lenient about it the hanafia seemed to be quite lenient about it the early malikia would have been against it uh they were against all innovations imam malik was very strict against innovations and some of the hanabila were against it but later malikis were

also quite relaxed on these issues and they felt look and that's what i go with as well that look it's not these things there's a difference of opinion it doesn't make it's not an issue if you want to do it if you find yourself doing it if you want to do it you're coming from a place of love uh for the prophet salallahu alaihi sallam which is the most important thing and that's what matters you can do it if you don't want to do it then you don't need to do it you don't need to be pressured to feel that oh and and nobody should be shaming people that don't do it

it's not you see this is about those who are doing it it's about love for the prophet salallahu it's not about causing harm to people or hurt and likewise so that's as far as the topic is concerned my only thing is that previously i have i'm not i don't find myself in favor of this is my personal liking and disliking i'm not about processions and you know uh demons not demonstrations but processions these kind of long taking to the streets and um you know

chanting and doing all these things and sometimes you see that especially where they are not where they are non-muslims around can cause inconvenience i don't think it's if people want to do it and that's the thing that's fine to me i'm not that's not how i would see it but i would see this more about those who are doing it for the love of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam so rather than going on a procession on the streets which doesn't really change anything i would say how about you use this day to say that i know

we're going to go around and feed so many poor people out of love for the prophet sallallahu alaihi you know i know uh how about this is the prophet's birthday so we will book an entire restaurant homeless people can eat from here like let's say there's there's a buffet or this something or how about homeless people we will get them free haircuts and free i don't know how about we will provide a certain thing you use the day to spread love for the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam by showing humanity what the prophet was about about caring

for people i find that very productive i find that um much more beneficial than you know just going for a march because we love the prophet salallahu i mean it's not it's neither here neither no it doesn't really do anything to humanity people will see you to be honest nowadays people say we we create awareness of islam to be honest everybody knows about islam they don't i don't mean they know about it in its right way but they know it exists so that's how i would see it as if

the opportunity is ceased to do something beneficial that people will be like wow you helped the needy you know on this day we're gonna we're gonna go to orphans we'll have something set up for orphans we will set something up with the with palliative uh care people or foundations like make a wish foundation things like this where they've got people that are in with terminal illnesses dying we're going to do something for them out of love for the prophet salallahu

who taught us to love people see now that something that i'm 1000 behind there was something i saw once um i mentioned it about maharam and what the shia have and they i saw an um a campaign one it was online little while back that you know in muharram where the shia some of the shia beat themselves and there was some shia campaign saying that don't do that

but let's use these days to donate blood so you know you want to lose blood why don't we use this in the name of hussein radhiallahu to give blood and i thought to myself that wow what a you know what a profound and beautiful like compassionate thought because ultimately these are the things i'm not saying everybody you can give blood on any day i'm not saying it needs but here was a group that they of the shia that saw what the shia were

doing and they were obviously sacrificing their own blood out of in commemoration for uh sadness hussein so they said well let's give it a a compassionate spin where we can help someone with this blood and i just thought wow really honestly it really i thought that is something that is the see that is the path this this thing we see it's the mindset so yeah that's my thoughts on that

all right shukran shukran and allah bless you night diver you've honestly brought me back shukran allah may allah be praised and may he bless you i mean and keep you uh cheerful and smiling right uh bringing back this here we've got in light of what we're saying in suratul verse 107

see we have not sent you but as a mercy for the worlds see so just so harmoniously in with that message that if this can you imagine wallahi if if in let's say people made it this month thing the month of the prophet or even if it was the mole day but we set it in like that that we're going to have collaborative efforts where the homeless can get this where uh orphans will this or children's hospitals they'll be toys given to

children or we will you know certain people would dedicate certain things to cancer patients and can you just imagine the profound worldwide effect of this um so true because this this is it this is it people honestly i um what you have there is

a verse that we've and the verse that we've covered previously as well but just to tie that in as well that you know by the the blessing the mercy of god that you were soft for them that you were generous that this is a if you had of you being harsh or hard-hearted that these people would have deserted you they would have walked away from around you and uh and notice how the verse goes on to say was

consult these people and he also reminds all believers at the end of this verse for either father have resolute determination have something about you so yeah i mean this is really the message of the messenger of allah think about this the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam who was known in his time to his tribe some of the hardships that he went

through now check this out his daughters except for fatima radhiallahu anha all his other children passed away in his lifetime yeah that must be one of the most difficult one of the most heart crushing experiences any individual can go through that a parent has to see the loss of a child and you have children who are small

infants and in certain times in certain eras there was a lot higher infant mortality rate but imagine your fully grown children who are now adults the prophet's daughters zainab they die in there between they're in their 20s to zainab was maybe about 30

when she passes away they've lived these colorful lives in front of you and when they die zaina she is wounded on um as she migrates from makkah to medina they they chase her and and they try i mean they don't try to kill her but they try to um injure her and just to kind of teach her a lesson or to scare her and she's pregnant at the time according to

many narrations and has a miscarriage but the wounds that she sustains she from that miscarriage as well she remains in an unhealthy state and it deteriorates and eventually dies from it and and the conditions and people so you have zainab dies

gets ill and dies um gets ill and dies and the kuffar they taunt the prophet sallallahu alaihi they taunt him over this let alone some who cause zainab to miscarry but okay she doesn't die that the child dies but she goes on and the other is ill but they taunt him and when they do die

they laugh at this in the prophet's face to see what misery your this dawah has brought you because you know how have you not messed with us we wouldn't have done this we wouldn't have done that just look at that can you imagine any person and this is a a parent losing his and then grown children who are adults who have lived a life and then she's pregnant she loses the child and then she herself dies

tragedy upon tragedy and yet when the prophet was given the upper hand father makkah he showed mercy he didn't he didn't it wasn't about person it wasn't about the prophet didn't come with this it's about me it's about my grievances about you know i need to take revenge

the prophet pour it on its heart on his heart and he took it these people that insulted them that laughed at the deaths that the prophet salallahu you see he was so he was there even when it would hurt him he was still rahmatan lilah that sallallahu alaihi wasallam see that is the character that people fell in love with because

it's not in the heat of things it's when the heat dissipates and people see that you see being powerless is nothing but when people have power that's when you see the true qualities and it's this message that if anything it needs to be more and more brought to the forefront you know it's a shame i say this often that you see history because what is i get it that in history people

they want to talk about great events but it's a shame that the prophet's biography is characterized by battles and it's set around the landscape is mapped out by battles and unquestionably the battles played were important events as well because sometimes they were defining moments like the battle of bertha it was a defining moment the these things were divided i get that but it got turned into only seer walmart

and it's like imam ahmad said and many that most of these mahazi la aslallah he said three genres have no foundation that the the mahrazi tafsir unfitting you know the apocalyptic genre and tafsir and magazine these battles in fact many turban they say some tab would sit down and narrate these magazines the battles with such detail that the companions used to think oh wow we didn't even know

that and i get it people may have been doing it from a place of love because they are you know that they lived in that culture it was a kind of warrior culture and and it and it brought people's attention i get that and that and i'm not against that because you see each thing for its day and age and in the environment that the prophet was in and that which came after him or immediately after he was still part of his environment was a very kind of like a warrior culture they they were very

as in just some kind of an approximation to give use like a bit like the viking culture it was just something based on raiding hordes and raiding uh tribes and things like this so i get it they would do that because it would ex it would draw the attention of people but it's a shame that the seerah in time to came to come became characterized by that because really i mean just think if the seerah was characterized by these other events it could have been and it should have been that with

an incident the prophet is putting up with putting up with torture but repaying it with compassion the prophets an incident of one i don't know his marriage an incident of his children and some rite of passage an incident of where the prophet sat with his companions on a particular point and they that they laughed all evening long and it was an

incredibly memorable nostalgic event the you see it could be characterized by anything if only they'd characterized it with these human the these kind of more humane these kind of more uh real life situations and it's i get it in their day and age this may have been too hmm you know what we want to hear about battles but yeah but don't we shouldn't let that today influence us

yeah so okay by the way modern people enjoy explosive action war movies it's true i get it i get it but you see uh you're you're right rohim that is true but it causes a lot of damage it causes a lot of damage clear you're absolutely right it's a mindset it's just it damages

the seerah because see we're speaking about the prophet of god not about a general or a commander of an army or it's not a military but it ends up becoming delivered like that because if we just speak about battle battle battle it's like if i spoke to you about someone and you don't know about them i introduced someone to you let's say i introduce a friend to you you don't know him i say well this is my friend tariq he said well okay you can't see him i'm just talking about him he said tell me about him i said well you know he um

ah let me tell you about this business deal he's he's doing say okay i'll tell you say okay next day i tell you say tell me something about him i say okay well you know it's just uh well you know he's he he's really invested in crypto you say oh okay interesting the next day he say tell me something about him i said well you know he's uh he's just started a new business startup and it's and if every day my only thing i tell you about him is corporate or business related then the image you're gonna have of him is some very dedicated somebody just

dedicated to finances and money and making money and imagine that's not him at all just because he's done those things he's actually totally chilled the crypto he just got something on his phone and he checks it now and then and he's lucky with his investments and yes he's been to one two business meetings but he spends most his time with his let's say with his kids and his pets and he spends you know he actually is involved in uh helping homeless people and he's got a a charitable organization and he actually is often with his

his wife uh spending time and he loves reading and he loves poetry and but i don't mention these things to you i just every time i the highlights i whenever i speak about him i speak about well you know he's he made a lot of money out of this business deal and he said well okay you see so it's how we carve th the story it's not that the things ain't true but it's how we put it into perspective right okay let's move on what i'll do is i'll share the link shortly and get you guys

on mufti uh love you with all my heart love you too love you too uh what's this what are you saying oh you missed the masala segments i'm sure you do i'm sure you do you see i i've been quite clear that i

where i am in life i'm not interested i don't know the space i'm in right now i don't find myself wanting to entertain what i feel are shallow people

i want to help people who have some substance to them and i want to deliver some substance to them in the process that's what i want to do i don't you see i found that i was going on a conveyor belt just as we all are in life and it's fun and games and it's all good it's entertaining and and i get it but and i was having let's say several people coming my way because they um they may find me funny they may find me

entertaining they may find i don't know maybe me charismatic or something but really it's just for the entertainment and the banter and the humor and but these people they don't bring any they're not people of substance they're just many of them were just time wasters and and that's okay i guess for a a little while you know you do that but it's not constructive it's not actually part of any legacy many of those people themselves

don't necessarily value me they don't they probably just find me funny or just find me entertaining but they don't value me they don't value my message they don't value my teachings they don't value even me so it's not you see so i don't know like i feel that when one of the best things i could have done was taken some time out from social media and then i went through an entire kind of process myself enhancing my own psychic

development of the psyche of consciousness of my my spiritual development my own mental development and i feel that was one of the best things i could have done taken that time out because it made me evaluate that look what where do i want to be who what legacy do i want how do i really want this there's all these people but they're just like you know it's like foam froth on the sea they don't mean anything they're not even people that mean anything to me they don't you know let's just be honest apart from contributing views to my videos

which too can be something of a disease and an addiction because once you get caught in this you you also become part of the system and you want you know i i think anybody that says that's not the case is either incredibly profoundly exceptional as a human being or they are just lying they either lying to themselves or they are lying to people that the system is such that it it's addictive let's be honest it is you know you get into something you get people that put things up on social

media they get addicted to the likes addicted to the views it's don't don't flatter yourself in thinking this is these platforms spend a ridiculous amount of money bringing in the best minds to make sure you it works that way that you are addicted so don't think oh and i'm no exception i would have been addicted as well i would have been made maybe some people are less than others i get that but we're all on the spectrum and i think taking time out and having that realization was really important

because you think to yourself look i don't want to i don't i don't want to do that i don't want to um just have people that are just like the froth they don't mean anything they don't and they don't value anything i have to do and rather than that i could be helping some people who do value me who do value this message who actually can take something away from these so yeah that's um that's my thoughts on that

mercy d law shukran shukran much love for the super chat mercy you're doing it yeah you're doing thoughts on working for a company that makes software used in loans but not a loan company itself yeah i mean there's nothing wrong with that uh you see you have to understand that

first of all i mean in this particular scenario that you you're not dealing with the with the loans in and of themselves to start off with secondly you have to understand that look these companies are not you see in islam well okay this there's a difference of opinion but generally speaking many of the methods including the hanafiya especially the hanafiya including the malikiah including you will have other mind there as well but you see the non-muslims are not addressed by the sharia the sharia boon

with the sharia sharia does not ask non-muslims to pray it does not ask non-muslims to eat halal it does not ask non-muslims to not do rebirth these laws are only for muslims they're not you're not they are not being they are not addressed with the rulings of islam so that's important to understand that so this is why ibn ashur in his tafsir if you read under the section and he's the great maliki legend of the 20th centuries to see this 30 volumes and it's

i believe it's under the it i think it's under the verse of being of bir waliding but you can search it it'll come up on a google search if you type it in and it'll give you the reference and then you can read it in the actual tafsir that he speaks about how the child has and this is a child as an adult must has a sense of duty towards the parent to take care of them to help them financially emotionally all of these things but he discusses that what if the non-parent sorry what if the parents are non-muslim so of course you still have to you have

that duty of care towards them that and he says well what if they drink alcohol and should you support them to bring because that you know should you financially support them and he says yes if that's what they so if they need money and that's what they i don't mean as an alcoholic person because that's obviously a health issue and but if this is what they generally they have and and they need money for because this is their weekly shopping list

and it has wine it has he says that in the in his tafsi that well they are your parents and they are not muslim so they can drink wine there's nothing wrong with that you can't say to them that oh why do you why are you drinking but they're not muslim so he says you support them and this is why there's a fatwa that can you what if they need you to take them to their place of worship and the ruling that the ulama give you take them to their place of worship okay you don't have to go in and start praying but you can take them there this is why when imam malik was asked

about marrying christians and people often quote imam malik saying oh but imam malik don't like muslims to marry christian women and so on but they don't finish the sentence they don't finish the paragraph why because imam malik and imam ahmad said the same thing that imam malik says in his fatah it's in the it's in the the madonna that he says that they because he says they are allowed to eat pork to drink wine and he says that you cannot stop the wife from having wine at home you cannot stop her from having pork at home because her faith allows it

and it's wrong and they say it's wrong for the man to forcibly stop her because it's her freedom now check that out 1200 years ago would you imagine that would you imagine that imam malik would be where he has this absolute authority would be you know people picture this kind of chess thumping whoa we're gonna this dominance of islam we're going to force you can't have wine in my house alcohol says no says if she's a christian she has wine she has wine it is haram for you to stop her

because she it's her huck in her religion and it was your choice to maria you weren't forced you can't impose now this comes back to you know when muslims when people get married they have sometimes ridiculous question uh conditions oh under my roof you can't be working you can't be doing this you can't be doing that look how imam malik is speaking about to a non-muslim you can't even have this rule about under my roof you can't have pork says who the hell are you he said that's her god-given right she's not a muslim according to

christianity she can eat it imam alex replied to this it's in the mud is speaking about he says that much greater than these things or that they don't you know that they say jesus that they say jesus is the son of god and allah has yet condoned them for it allah still says that's fine the people of the book you can eat their meat you can you can marry but they are saying jesus is the son of god but still so imam malik says if they have been condoned on that then who are you about

pork and this is why imam malik disliked the marriages because he says but they don't finish the remaining they just quote this part often in saying look imam ali disliked this that yeah you shouldn't marry people from the other faith but they don't he never said it's haram he discouraged it but then they don't read the rest of why because he said they had the right to have all their freedoms and he says imam ali goes on he doesn't stop there he says if the mother eats pork then it's she that's what she cooks at home then the children will eat pork

because most the time the children will be at home with especially that day and age with the mother and he said if she has wine at home then maybe the children will grow up drinking wine and this is where imam ahmed was asked that can you prevent them from having the crucifix displayed in your house said no you it's haram for you to for to forcibly stop her that you can't stop her so check this out she she set up a crucifix in your house and got pork and got wine and in the fridge and

and this was the this was the fatawa of these ulama back then but nobody studies the methods people today they don't they don't know this traditional filk so this was the tolerance people today say they marry muslims and they lay ridiculous questions um ridiculous conditions sorry you can't do this you can't do this i don't want you speaking to your family i don't want you going home to you to your parents i don't want you leaving the house without my permission is this a human or a pet

[Laughter] you might as well just get yourself a pet this and that was the imams like imam malik saying this is how you can't even you can't even prevent her freedoms which you consider haram in islam so this is what like there's so much to learn from this theme in its tradition about compassion about mutual understanding and also unders understanding that faith and its rulings are really about you about taking them and applying them

not about um imposing them on others it's a personal relationship that something is haram excellent don't do it you're like yeah but i don't want him to do it i don't want her no no you don't do it see this this is the but this is the nafs the eagle the ego craves no no he wants to use this for power i i want to tell other people off no no

no relax you simply don't do it people say oh my god he's is having a beard in a particular way is this haram he says do you believe it's there's a difference of opinion do you believe it's haram you believe it's haram don't do it see yeah but no then don't do it music why are they listening to music the music is a difference of opinion some people have said it's not do you believe it's haram you believe it's haram don't listen to but they should no no you don't listen to it

see islam it's about applying not about imposing so that's an important thing to to always keep with us right i'm gonna share the azamat you do and it much love with the super chat sugar and chicken can't go to bed with a pet though yeah

but i mean you won't be going to bed with the other person for much for much longer if that's the attitude i wish there were more masjids that would facilitate marriages instead forcing us singles to go online yeah i mean i don't know if online is a bad thing um i don't know if online is a bad thing i think online could be a good thing as

well that you have greater scope but just be um yeah just be i think look just just have your sense about you that's all and people need to be a bit more natural and they need to kind of yeah i don't know you see i i think relationships is an issue for everyone it's not just an issue for muslims it's an issue everywhere in the entire world especially the developed world and and especially for muslims we've got our added special spices

to make things that bit more complicated i read this quote actually it's it's definitely worth sharing that it said that many men will many men will make money will want money because it attracts women unquestionably there's an element of truth to that he said that many men will will chase money because it brings them women

but then they will call a woman that comes to them for money a gold digger [Laughter] and he said and many women will just focus on this the physical sexual alert in just dressing incredibly seductively or having all these you know just a mesmerizing sexual outlook but because it will attract men but then will accuse men of just objectifying them

when they are attracted [Laughter] so it's a strange world [Laughter] yeah so it's it's just a poem about insanity has been called intellect and intellect insanity that basically whosoever wants does as they please but yeah but online i think is not necessarily a

bad thing it is a struggle though i think for for people everywhere and and i've said this before i feel that if i can just be honest i feel that men don't really mentally emotionally somewhat um from if i can i don't like you see i don't want to use the word spiritually but from my from a sense of consciousness or

you can say spiritual but people may misunderstand spiritual you see so that men don't really mature till at least it probably begins in their mid-30s especially muslim men um probably mid 30s by the time they were about 40 i think they start to yeah the maturity has is now if it's gonna happen it's starting to happen if it is so some probably still don't but i think a lot at that stage they start to mature the problem is by that time it's often

too late because they've caused you know they've they've got devastation in their wake they've got trails of disaster behind them so that's often the case women i think mature much quicker so but probably um you know maybe by their i don't know mid late 20s they are maturing um definitely by the time they're 30 that but but the point is that i don't think you see the problem is that

the parallels are uneven so uneven so they will get married people usually getting married i don't know mid-20s late 20s let's say somebody is i don't know between 25 to 13 they're getting married let's go in the middle 27 28 people are getting married the guy is still not going to start maturing till at least another eight to ten years and that's just a brutal fact now that's a problem because that there's there's an element of time here because it it's a crucial indispensable

element ingredient it can't how do you do that how can you cram in so much time now or they have to experience so much in life that they would experience in that quantity of time qualitatively speaking which isn't gonna happen so hence you have a lot of relationships uh you have a lot of incompatibility going on a lot of this immaturity you have what are kind of like practice spouses spouses where the husband and the wife this is their practice this is a draft this will go horribly wrong

then they might do another one that might go a bit wrong then by the third one they're kind of on point now you see because this is the difference with uh non-muslims that they would have been through relationships openly publicly from their teenagers so they've been through several they've kind of had all the practices this is why non-muslim men will probably mature probably by the 30 that they will be quite mature but with muslim men especially living at home with their parents

they're quite cuttled and quite the mom doing everything for them the not having solitude not having that moment to lose yourself and find yourself this kind of stuff it i mean it's don't i get it that it's still good they're doing parents doing things for you is wonderful but what i'm saying is it doesn't allow you to mentally to grow because you need to be you need solitude and until that doesn't happen that usually happens once they've

with muslims probably in their late 30s they probably end up on their own again [Laughter] uh may allah make things easy for them i mean for for all these people that are struggling in these relationships but it is it is a human phenomenon not just muslim but it's unfortunately worse with um

which research i don't know what yeah this is a good point somebody said look non-muslims go through several relationships yet their marriage is a mess it's true that look i said in the beginning this is not just a muslim thing this is a it's a human phenomenon going on especially in the developed world so i did say that however their relationships being a mess is not like often the muslim relationships being a mess often i mean some are but mostly not so yes it goes it gets you know

it loses its soul it loses its heart they might start having a relationship elsewhere you know they get into arguments then they'll just separate muslims there's a lot more abuse a lot of abuse a lot of controlling coercive kind of behavior a lot there's violence there's uh financial control financial abuse is ridiculous in muslim communities there's there's this community guilt of suppressing shaming kind of kill tripping the couple especially the woman to stay in it there's uh

it's it's horrible it's not the same and then when the relationship is over in most non-muslim relationships they can handle rejection because they've had so many relationships in the past that have broken see handling rejection is something incredibly important it's it's also part of the maturity process yes it's an art it's not an art i'm joking but it's it's something it's very difficult on the ego see somebody says they don't want to be with you that's very insulting at a very primordial level

because you're feeling rejected so and it hurts both it hurts men and women and they'll act out differently but and this is why you get in many of these cases in the muslim communities they don't let go they don't they refuse to allow them to move on they'll keep haunting them harassing them chasing them turning up at the doors kicking the doors doing this doing that because rejection they can't handle it they can't handle that they've said no to me and yeah so this is uh

yes so this is uh this this is unfortunately a reality i'm just saying and it does happen with some non-muslims as well it does happen as well this but i think it comparatively it's a lot less in in the general broader community like in the uk it happens but it's a lot less within muslim communities it's a lot more the other thing is the abuse is it's different it's weird because there's like a the control is just just so mildly different that they will you know you're not allowed to because there's a lot of culture in it you know what was this what's that and there's a lot of uh

i mean i don't need to even explain you guys no you know you i'll hear i'll hear people will tell me stories i'll you know people are not allowed to do things like leave the lights on people are not allowed to they'll be like what the hell you know where you leaving they'll be like i mean it's not a laughing matter they'll be like this is that financial control that you don't pay the bill you don't do this you don't do that you don't

a person that's just that's like a child just a grown up version of a child khalik is obsessed with muthaizi uh clay is saying khalid come on really what's the question what is polygamy is the answer to all these issues

i doubt it i doubt polygamy is the answer to all these issues the answer to all these issues is maturity we need to mature we need to know when to take a loss we need to accept that in life if our parents imagine our parents brought us up with with those qualities imagine they taught you that look it's okay in life sometimes you know sometimes relationships will work out sometimes they won't you know it's it's it's fine don't measure yourself imagine the parents taught their children stuff

like this we'd have a whole different society but no uh polygamy isn't the answer to anything um polygamy i you see from an evolutionary perspective it's going to always be there men are polygamous by nature and i do feel islam as blacklisted as polygamy is it is still a more it is something that islam has condoned or accepted as a which in many occasions would be helpful and

conducive to certain scenarios but society just ain't ready for that um or it doesn't it's not prepared to accept it i have a very good mind trap disco dr imran khan from metroflex dark dark's doing it so doc has a really you know just straight up in your face attitude and and it's needed on these kind of discussions and it's a wonderful kind of dialogue we have so do watch that and yeah it's true that there are many cases where polygamy would definitely be a mercy because there's many women who are in

scenarios that they but they often the pressure to them is from other women that is true and it's i think many women would even they they would even see things like that as a very workable scenario if it wasn't the social shame that is created by other women shaming them shaming them on many occasions but that said it's not the solution to if you're thinking this is the solution to fix all these problems it isn't it's still girl i mean the problems this this immense problems in polygamy there's immense there's problems

there's no shortage of problems because think about it there's there's immense problems in that it's not a you know people are people they're going to be not happy with certain things they're going to be like speak to people who are in polygamous relationships they'll tell you all the problems so um yeah i don't think that's a um i don't i i definitely think there's a lot of blessings and mercy in it as an option where it's used but i don't think it's some kind of a fix all to to problems it's not it has its own problems unquestionably

and as to the muta being the solution solution to social problems but you see there's a difference of opinion on muta in majority don't consider it permissible in sunni islam some people have disagreed people like ibn ashur considered it permissible and and there's some other people they considered permissible to be honest

i would say is is much better than these secret marriages i'm i'm against these kind of secret secret which are usually used to hurt people and you see a secret marriage is different to just a like a no fuss low-key private and you know a kind of marriage where people are just you know they're not being so noisy about it and they just it's their life they're just getting on with it the hush hush marriages are usually done

to exploit vulnerabilities and and i don't like that and i and as far as i'm concerned any kind of exploitation where you are where you're doing something to cause harm this is categorically haram so in that sense if a person was to have a was to go down the muta route where at least all parties know exactly where they stand they know that look this is not a serious relationship this is not this is only for whatever it is and at least everybody knows where they

stand and they're not being hurt which is the most important thing so yeah so that's where but it's not a solution to everything but obviously it would it's still i feel that i agree with those who are like ibn that is still a mercy um if you know given certain scenarios it can have its own problems as well though but yeah right okay so is there no blessing in no i believe there would be of course the just in any situation you see because we have uh let me share

this link on and to those who feel that it is haram and that's that's fine then it's haram for them okay this is just speaking to those people who don't feel it's haram who don't follow sorry who don't who follow the opinion that it's not haram because there's a difference of opinion even if it's a minority position but it still exists so if those people who feel that that's absolutely haram it's haram anyway because that's their personal belief they shouldn't be looking into these kind of things shouldn't be doing them those who don't believe it's haram well

there you go at least it has its transparency because the problem is what happens in a lot of sunni circles is they do mutah but they do it by giving a different name so they call it nikau missile which is this hidden marriage where they will do it but in their minds they have this intention that oh i'm gonna divorce this woman but i'm just going to marry her for for sex so this is i feel that that's and that according to all

most if not all sunni scholars is permissible and i don't know how on earth that's permissible even abdullah says you know this is ijma that this is permissible in sunni islam how is that permissible that that is absolutely hurtful i would consider that haram so you see because if you're gonna just then you might as well just you know you rather than you might as well not have any nikka because there's no point doing a nika because all you're gonna do is hurt someone you're gonna trick them deceive them and then just for what some quick sex so

it's it's ridiculous so this is where religion is completely misused this in those places is better not using religion you might as well just be your normal person and do whatever you do because why are you using religion here because you're just going to deceive people and you're going to hurt them and you're going to in in bring islam into disrepute so whereas in those circumstances that's where i would argue that look if you did want to do something religious it's at least transparent so but then people would say haram so okay then they shouldn't be doing it but then

they would say nikal missile is okay which i would feel is haram because it's you know if you're going to trick someone and say i'm going to marry you that's a big word in these societies marry and then at the end of the weekend you're going to go i was only joking that was so i've got to go so

i think that's you are insulting allah and his deen that you honestly i feel that's an affront to islam you should have just you should have just stayed with the person and just done because you shouldn't use islam for stuff like this yeah mm-hmm yeah what is all right i've shared the link let me share that again what time is it cello we can take some callers um

all right okay so but auto spells right well see the topics quickly jump to these interesting topics yeah too much frustration in the ummah you shouldn't unnecessarily involve yourself

let me tell you a story about unnecessarily involving so you can take a lesson from this you know in the history of islamic other islamic literature there are many a poet but there there's two two names that are like landmark names from early islam many of you probably heard of them

right i don't know if you've heard of these guys they were rival poets they're both from banita meme they're both from banita meme so which is from kaiser island which is then from mudar right so mudra which is the tr which is where the prophet sallallahu alaihi is from and most of these most of the arabs when you think of arabs generally you're going to have they're going to branch off as in this is broadly speaking you're going to have ghatani and they say adnani is speaking about they were so the

arabs they say were the ancient arabs and the adnani were the arabized arabs which is to do with linkedin with the prophet abraham through ismail ali so they call these and these arabs really just come down to two two tribes that will that kind of stem off one is mother one is rabia they will stem into loads of others so from mother you will have you will have elias

and you will also have uh stemming from the pace island and from case island are these uh these tribes of um uh of of uh tamim right that we speak no sorry tamim is not from tamim is from

right so but it's a muddery tribe it's from mother so it's from that thing linked to the uh ultimately they meet with the prophet at that but so it's not a tribal difference between these poets they ultimately they've got their sub clans which are different but they all linked it to me but they hated each other hated they you know nowadays you have these kind of i don't know what do they call them were they where they diss each other in these raps and things like this so these guys invented an entire new

genre in poetry and they are from early islam so they are alive in the times of people like i mean some of them would have met some companions as well but they would be senior to people like the imams like abu hanifa and imam malik and so on stuff like this so they're in that very early period of islam and frazdak and they have this rivalry that goes on and it lasts for about 40 years and they just slay to each other slate slates like insult and they bloody change the game invent a genre which was

later defined as nakayam so they're just cursing each other all the time so yeah and it's just sweet in fact it's so some of the swears are like oh my god obviously it's it's ridiculous they'll be like they'll have these all these poems ripping into each other's mums into each other's sisters into each other's wives into each other you you should type it into google and read some of it you'll be like you'd be like

[Laughter] honestly they just rip each other and this went on for decades and they did that until they kind of died one of them died and the other then just stopped and so it was at least a 40-year rivalry going on and it became so well known and they were re they were actually good poets as well so they were good at what they did so everybody from the era would just back off because these guys would because if you came in their way they would make a poem about you

that would just ruin you can you imagine that a poem that would ruin you how does that even work because you see in that day and age their poems were like viral videos so imagine you get a viral clip of someone who's doing something absolutely ridiculous and it goes viral but so embarrassing as in shameful the fact that it's gone viral he's ruined he's ruined for life now you know you go on google it's always the

that's how these poems were back then the poets were like that they were these these kind of platforms of you know these viral platforms that when they said something it just went viral [Laughter] so and they really rip into each other let me give you an example of them ripping into each other they and they would insult each other's mom and and so these two and they had a third with them who was a christian and i think akhtar was from arabia if i'm correct uh because i believe he was from tagalog because they had a lot of christians but i'll have to double check

that but akhtar is with them and these guys they're well known they they go in front of the caliph sometimes they're incredibly renowned poets even though he's not part of them he sometimes also joined in and took sides with frozdak and would dis uh jareer and he'd insult him and he has this poem let me show you how they're ripping into each other he has this poem where he says uh he's he's dissing jerry and his mom

he's dissing jeremy's mom but him as well and he says he says he says it doesn't stop here he says there are people who if guests were coming and imagine because people would have like a guard dog so their dog starts barking

that if their dog started barking that guests have come what they would say to their mom is quick that urinate on the fire why so we don't have to basically one we can pretend we're not here and two we don't have to cook anything for them like we haven't got a fire so so this is how tight-fisted and stingy these people are that that common either is

[Laughter] foreign [Laughter] and they say and his mom their mom she holds back the urine out of her stinginess like she can't help because she's so stingy this whole people are stingy but she's one of them so she holds back her urine out of stinginess brooklyn and she doesn't want to be generous with it

fala so when she does urinate on the fire she does it in measured quantities [Laughter] and he's talking about gerry's mom this is this is wow it's you know in english obviously it doesn't it because it's not rhythmic but the way they say in arabic it's it's it it sounds hilarious honestly that uh bowler booklet

by so this is the kind of this is how lethal they were they were just they had no holds but people it was one of those so yeah so what happens this one time there's a person a car i think his name was obeyed or something but he was known as this kind of shepherd person he was from this clan called name and they were actually this real they had a reputation so

when i was mentioning these tribes you have bani tamim which come through uh through modern through ilias through uh but through case island you have hawazin hot fan stuff like these other major tribes and it through hawazin uh you'll have uh ahmedabad and you have these tribes you have

kilab these tribes were known as what they would call jamaratullah that they were tribe stand-alone tribes that they wouldn't need other tribes to back them up that they were like they rated themselves self-rated dons they didn't care they were ruthless as well and and so no maid was a tribe like that as well it was one of these and it was from the jamar absolutely didn't it required no backup affiliates because what tribes would have are these kind of affiliate

programs almost these affiliate um agreements and pacts that if we are brought under pressure such and such tribe must come to our defense and such and such and such and such and so because of the agreements tribes would sometimes be weary if they attacked them because they would think well this tribe has got the backing of hawazin and it's got the backing of kinana and the backing of bunuta meme and the backing of such and such but there were certain clans that they were just self-sufficient they were in they they had no backing they were just we stand our own ground and we don't

need anyone and people knew that about them and they were so plentiful that people you know they feared them and they called them the jamaratul arab where people that could gather themselves and this is why in hajj you call it the jamarat the gather where people gather so the jamaratul arab were these tribes like and these three that were kind of related cousin tribes subclans you had numer and kab and kill up and and they used to they used to have this kind of this kind of arrogance to them that you know we're the dons that they would call when people would say what tribe are you

from they would say not just nomad they would stretch it means like a diminutive form of a tiger from this is how they would see themselves so what happened is this one time um

this poet there's a poet who's this shepherd guy known as a rae in nomari he just decides to get involved in this battle between jared and frozdak just like this somebody was once getting into an argument and and this other person was speaking as well and and in between they said sorry who are you and he said oh me i'm just

so this guy this harayan madi he gets involved and he starts bigging up frisda he starts saying yeah frisbeck's doing it first next tune naturally jareer got the offended man so what happens is jareer went to see this this guy from name went to see him and he's talking to him that look i don't understand why you why you kind of promoting fresdox poetry and you're also saying poems to in support of him like

basically he's saying to him that he's saying to him you know like what's going on here. and he's just telling him look mind your own business so whilst he's telling him this guy is thinking huh like so along comes this rai's son he comes and he sees his dad speaking to jared and he says to his dad that why are you speaking to him and he says why are you wasting see jareel and frazdak are from banita mean but they've got sub-clan sub-clans and

jared's clan is called kuleb so which is also the diminutive of a small dog in arabic and he says to his dad why he says says why are you standing with this with you know with with a dog from kulib because in arabic also means small dog but it's a name as well so he so he's basically saying why are you standing with this dog for like get on with it and what he does is he he kind of as he sits on this horse or whatever it is to go off he waves his spear they say any and jerry's

hat or whatever he's wearing falls and he has to pick it up and they kind of laugh at him and they go off jareer says declaration of war this is what this is this is now full out till the death chari unleashes a poem on these people and you know it's so interesting this poem some lines of it are so

commonplace till today and this poem he's so unique in dissing them i mean some lines in it he is outright dissing them but he does it so certainly but comp you know compulsively that he puts the entire tribe of nomade to shame he has these lines and i mean he begins by the poem he has this line in it where he says

he says to this person this is known till today people use it as a proverb it says now it's so interesting that this line doesn't actually he says to him like lower your gaze you are from no maid you haven't even reached kab or kilab see now that's interesting it's such a unique artistry on how he set that up because kaab kelab and nomad were kind of all equals

and they all from this hawazin tribe and they were all jamarat but what he did is in a weird way he kind of ended up praising them to and dissing nomad which made it even more worse because if he just went all out on the maid saying oh you this you filth you blah which he does diss them as well but just your mom is like this your blah blah blah blah but the way he set it up he kind of almost praised their friends but by comparison dissing them and he starts off he says

it's actually an epic poem he says basically saying allah has prepared for me like has enabled me or unleashed on my behalf thunderbolts which forces people to bow their necks

this is actually the opening line he says he's saying to a woman that go easy on me taba he says he says to the woman this is just like poetic kind of imagination he says and say if i get things right then say it that he got that right [Laughter]

says i'm this kind of eagle that is coming down on numer that it's like it's being unleashed from the heavens and he does this them as well he says he says uh lo wuzinet if you gathered their elders they don't they're not even equal to flies but he says

you haven't even reached kabuki lab and then he says they are ultimately if banu tamim are angry with you

[Music] it is as though mankind is angry with you you know this poem of his it went so viral that bunny no maid it became proverbial like a proverb it they became so embarrassed after that if anybody was asked what what tribe do you belong to they would just go several clans higher

and just say something like oh amiri or hawazin or i mean you know that's going very far but but they wouldn't say min till they say till today people refuse to openly accept that they are from bani no maid because it became such an embarrassment this this line is a killer line that you know for that this just lower your your gaze that you are from numer that you haven't reached kaab wala kilab

so it's amazing when people get involved this this one guy they say that bonino maid said to this what on earth have you done you and your son why did you get involved between jared and frazdak that you you guys you ruined our entire reputation like we now are embarrassed to even say we are numeri like we have to hide the fact and blend it

they were like couldn't you just keep yourself to your goddamn self and not get involved because nobody gets involved in that battle between jared and frustrated so that has a lesson in it that sometimes you don't want you shouldn't get involved in you know in in what doesn't concern you as as the teaching is that from the the excellence of islam is to not involve yourself in things but yeah that's i thought that's a fascinating thing i've shared the right oh did i not share the link i did let me

share the link salaam darth vader there was a massacre i don't know i don't know about the massacre i see people just tuning in you can like and share click share click like spread spread the love people spread the love yeah i have uh

sorry i'm just reading a question right i'm not sure some there's quite a few statements about some kind of uh a massacre i don't i don't know about the massacre may allah make things easy for um for the people we pray for any victims worldwide and their families and the survivors people they've left behind you know may allah make things easy for them i don't

i'm not aware of it now mufti you joked look at the questions [Laughter] well out of this one man yes man we use jatman we stalked right so that's just these are sub ethnicities people sub ethnicities right so did i miss somebody saying

malm all of these clans were they based in northern arabia no they were based throughout arabia and northern uh middle east as well so different clans spread out in different places some were more settled in certain than others so um yeah like um banu tamim i'm not ex i think banuta meme were based around the najdrees region and musa oh in the arabian peninsula but if you do check out some clans and you if you go on to if you google it

when it brings up there'll be loads of pages about different plans it tells you the regions that they used to live in and where they still found and stuff like that all right what's the um super chat i don't know if somebody did you missed my super chat i don't think i did i can't find a super chat i'm going back

right roll him you're doing it you're doing it i see all right i see rawhim you have the sticker next to your name so you ah you subscribe to the youtube channel you do and it people you can subscribe to the youtube channel by the way i have opened it up so you you get these stickers and stuff like that and and i'll add more things to it as well but that's for now okay so i'm just looking if i can't see any super chat so do send your message i'll try and answer it um [Music] about my question the question on raheem

on does my research extend yes of course i mean so the nabataeans were part of the northern kingdoms yes so i have uh looked into that extensively in the past uh speak on the mole it i spoke on the mole it quite extensively you've missed it i did a whole dars on the seer of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam we spoke about certain verses of the quran we spoke on uh molita how it's been practiced we spoke on the differences of opinion we spoke on suggestions for how i think knowledge should be celebrated

we did all of that who are the purest arabs oh and you know i find all of this nonsensical in that sense um my i don't know recently i've got fascinated with the different tribal um developments and the different tribes it's i don't even know why i've got really into that but i seem to have got into it but it that's more just it's nothing to do with which tribe is pure or

who are the real arabs so i i think all of that doesn't make any sense to me yes some tribes were seen as more eloquent than others and yes it's true um some tribes may have contributed to the language much more significant banu tamim for example who i who we mentioned frozdak anjali were seen as an eloquent tribe although they were quite a fighting tribe as well

what is it that yaudun nasibuna ilatamimin biyutal majji arba atankibara they mentioned these are the sub clans of tamim these four main homes or houses but to me it doesn't really they all consider themselves to be top dons okay it's you know sometimes people from an islamic perspective present

things like they will say for example quraish were considered the best i don't think that was necessarily the way the arab soy i think um i don't think so i think that's more as a as islam came and the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam re-chained reshaped arabia and islam and the future thereby quraish became this beacon from which the prophet emerged and therefore

it had this you know quraysha quraish because the prophet salallahu is from quraish but if you go to pre-islam they wouldn't have recognized even after the islam it's just that you see arabs don't mean the tribes don't mean anything because it's the world changed so they kind of got on board with the with the fact that [Music] we might as well ride the arab wave and the islam wave

you understand so then obviously to ride that wave you need to honor the prophet salallahu and you need to honor quraish because he is from quraish so i think that's more a um but it's not how people would think that oh in the past everybody it's not true so for example rabia i would never think mudra were better than them i thought they were always better in fact which were like a vicious tribe when we spoke about them in one of the previous sessions about harul basu that lasted

for 40 years you know such a vicious tribe and they were feared amongst arabs why were they feared because because they would say because they don't call a truce they just fight and fight and fight and many of them did not embrace islam from bonita this is i mean they did as well but many didn't from bernie that they remained christian and the prophet did not take jizya from them

see which is really interesting because that then baffled people later on they didn't know how to how to come to terms with that because the prophet didn't you see they were very proud kabila they were very and they were known and in fact there's a famous saying lol islam it says if it was not for islam would have consumed and eaten up all the arab because they were just ruthless once they they were like these people that this wild

i don't know like they they were like these ferocious beasts that if let loose they would just not listen to anyone and and it's interesting the main enemies were actually from usually from they are from wales as well who are also from bani rabiyan they also rabia so uh you know you have bhak rivnawa al-bakhir was the main rifles but they are also from they they're also from rabia but they and this is in the time of then in the time of omar uh you see that they um was going to impose the jizya on them

and they said no they said that we don't we don't give jizya they said we give sadaqat we give these donations we don't give jizya and then um was about to impose it and if one of the companions advised him he said he said to him he said my advice is isa these are taklip

he said that these are like you know they're a ruthless tribe and and and he said and it's true the prophet didn't take jizya from them and he said to uh omar that look just take the donations double it if you have to take donations like don't make this a point i don't make this awkward he the the advisor wasn't from tahrir but he was advising then omar took his advice he said you know you've got a point that why should we because they they were ruthless in fact satan omar you know it was um what was the famous battle there was a

famous battle where they were where the the the muslims were up against several people from the taglibin and and then he used uh the pro omar said let's use certain people from these tribes from rabbi to fight them because and said um saying he said he said

he said only iron can set out iron and he used then the the tribe from but from rabia to fight the this particular they were a sub clan of certain people from the table that were against the muslim armies in one of the battles but to kind of neutralize them said umar used the clans from bani rabiyah so do you really think these people would have assumed that they were more better than us or they were more pure or they were more pure they would never have accepted but it's just that with

you see the prophet was such a mercy to be honest the way history was going this whole thing was going to change anyway it was just a matter of time these clans and everything was going to die a death and the prophet came as a mercy for these people because the prophet with his message of islam it went far and wide within 80 years it had reached europe and with it arabic had reached europe and with arabic respect and honor for

the arabs had reached europe they had reached china reached india christian africa people were learning arabic people were learning you think about it you're being honored why because so so they obviously embraced this whole everybody embraced the wave and they then did respect and respected but it was more so a tied into islam because of what islam brought them as well as opposed to pre-islam they wouldn't have seen quraish like that bani tamim would

never have any bani tamim are from not only from mother they from elias but they would not have thought these people to be other tribes to be better than them you know look at even after either see he says this is they get angry with you you think the whole world is angry with me [Laughter] right people let's move on we've got some then we can wrap this up as well oh right rami sorry it's a super chat let

me get super chat first rami says people like sam harris claim sorry let me just get my charger people like sam harris claim the philosophical scientific innovation of islamic civilizations not due to islam but in spite of it how do you see this and if he's wrong where is that spirit today hmm [Music] no you see [Laughter] in spite of islam that's not true it is because of islam

because islam promoted especially the early centuries of islam promoted a deep curiosity and with it came a this this kind of spirit of of this secure spirit of embracing the world so with the in the time of haruna rasheed and these people in the early episodes they started to say look bring us knowledge let's set up darul hikma beth translate greek texts

you can take their weight in gold this is what triggered the academic renaissance within islam the medical renaissance began with all this galen and all this kind of you know his his his works being translated and and all the mathematical works and aristotle and plato and all these other pythagoras and all of these people their works were being translated and muslims weren't just reading them they were owning them they were commenting they were adding so if you say islam that these people learned this in spite

of islam what does that mean what why in spite of that these most of these you know most of these people ibrahim uh all these great kind of discoverers all these great people they were very well versed in islam they their fundamental knowledge was all about islam they were most of them had memorized the quran most of them had studied the different they had studied arabic grammar they had studied they had studied some hadith that they'd all been through that kind of a syllabus now you could say well

one could say one could say that look no that was just you know they they still tolerated that and they somehow went and discovered this i mean you could say anything you know it's like i say einstein was who he was in spite of his his academic learning i mean you could if it's just about arguing one could argue anything [Laughter] but i don't believe that's true

early islam was very encouraging early centuries of islam it is true that that has been stifled and then it's died of death for not now to many hundreds of years why i think colonialism played a key part as well in that and i i genuinely think that look you know how allah says in the quran

see allah gives turns to people sometimes human beings will be the best they will be the pinnacle of something and allah gives them all these opportunities and sometimes they'll fall back they'll stop being those people and allah will give opportunities to different people they don't have to be muslim you see allah will ignite in them the flame of curiosity and they go on to inspire and and do all sorts so yeah i i think it's this is you know sun and

allah filcon you see that allah's he's he's kind of his his his laws that success rotates amongst people and you don't have to be muslim to be successful okay but that's a good question sam harris all right his uh that said his his dialogue with jordan peterson was epic that was an epic dialogue i have to say the they've done three but i think um it was

was it the one in vancouver it's absolutely epic uh yep somebody said that muhammad hijab and jordan peterson on november the 8th i saw some poster about that i saw some poster i mean i would have i i had heard that jordan peterson was due to discuss with sheikh hamza yusuf i was looking forward to that yeah

because i mean i don't know how this will go um well i am a fan of um of of watching intriguing interesting dialogues i don't know how this will go sure let's see how it goes and you never know maybe i'd love to have a conversation with jordan peterson he i do find him amazing and epic so but i just you know it's it's such a powerful mind i find it such such a powerful mind honestly it's it's just like whoa [Laughter]

i don't i don't know i find it i i think i'd find it maybe daunting to to have a dialogue with him but i think it would be fascinating but it's just he's such a he just he's he's incredibly impressive and he has such a command of um you know just um [Music] i i believe philosophical reasoning and um a plethora of psychological research

and a captivating ability of expression so i i find him absolutely um just amazing i would love to have a conversation with him maybe sometimes in some time in the future but i i must admit i would find the thought of it quite daunting imagine being grilled by jordan pizza

you never know i might end up having to grill him [Laughter] so people have you listened to hassan pika i don't know who that is clean your room buckle yeah you're right i mean sometimes jordan peterson i think he just sometimes he just overdoes it on some of the things

it's like clean your room man just [Laughter] yeah so all right people let's see who have we got here we've got um there's a device not connected uh they will need to connect there's a cheyenne but it doesn't seem to be connected so you need to connect your it says your mic and your cam we've got asana

all right so let me just learn to use islam alaikum what is going on how are you doing i'm good i'm good that's right i almost feel like it's a lot i wasn't even ready for this i was just kind of doing my own thing that's life you see this is what it is it happens when you're not ready it's like that's the opportunity right there people asan joining us all the way from

assan what city are you at i'm in california california aura cool vibes man yeah that's it honestly it just has super super cool just an aura to the just to the name alone you think yeah yeah but that's a thing right california is if you're not living by the beach if you're not on the coast you're uh essentially shooting yourself in the leg every single day waking up i don't know how else to say it it's one of those things where

you're paying way too much for rent the california weather doesn't exist unless you're on the coast um i don't know i just feel like um i don't even know what i'm doing here honestly to be honest [Laughter] inshallah when you do come to california and then you check out hollywood and all that stuff you'll realize this is pretty sad it's the seats are not clean yeah the streets are not clean there's a bunch of drugs and homelessness going on it's a it's it's it's the image right the dream but when you actually show up and you realize it's a nightmare and you're kind of like

you know what a kind of good where i was at so yeah it's interesting because that's i guess the you know in many ways that's an allegory for this dunya and it's especially nowadays this whole thing of social media it really defines the landscape you're saying is is the social media landscape as well in many ways that i was just speaking with someone actually about this um we're just talking um just yesterday unless it was the day before

that it's you see like you look at i don't know tick tock or these different reels and these clips and people have ridiculous i'm using the word ridiculous ridiculous views ridiculous likes like you think wow like somebody would have like let's say i don't know 200 million kind of views on something and they'll they'll have like even 10 million 5 million 1 million half a million 500 000 now you'll see let's say somebody's done something

they've they've i don't know let's say a woman she's she's doing some dance or let's say a person he's i don't know usually whatever usually it's these kind of clips people will do something they will get these kind of views but what will happen is they have to you have to then replicate to get the same thing because once you and before you know it you've created this world this was it i was talking i was talking about it because we saw this clip of where people are making clips so somebody's making a clip of behind the

scenes and we're just thinking wow like imagine if you've got these pages that have got let's say you you're a person i don't know you're showing off some clothes or you're doing something and you're doing a dance let's say and you've got i don't know a a a really you know good amount of a huge amount of views now you're doing the same thing you're doing the same thing you haven't recreated and a year later you're having to do the same thing two years later you're having to still do the same because that's you've kind of created a world right right and yeah and

it's amazing and and everybody's world is different like somebody could be that somebody else it could be something else but it's like you said that you see you could see something from a distance and you could think wow you know this is like so amazing but really it's just very soulless yeah right i mean you gotta you gotta be um i mean it's very similar to how people wish for having uh the things that they don't have and then they have it and then all of a sudden once that high just drops then eventually your body and your mind

starts seeking the next thing um and for people that live in california yeah we're looking else you know so it's one of those things that it's that rush where you constantly look for your next fix in reality that's you know it's kind of like what you've been talking about more of like that that consciousness and awareness people are constantly looking outwardly trying to find what it is that makes them happy when in fact it was always supposed to be something they called and they called up the one of the names is the hedonic treadmill that this kind of what happens is you're chasing that high or that and it's it doesn't we're not talking

about drugs here but it's just that thing that's going to make you happy and because it's an object it never really truly makes you happy so when you have it you might get a little thrill because you've just the achievement you see but any achievement gives a thrill like even if i for example made a to-do list with something simple on there and i did it there would be a certain amount of dopamine that's released so any kind of achievement triggers a thrill so a person saying look i need to get this car because this car is going to make me really happy but now you've got the car you've got used to it and

you're on that hedonic treadmill so you're like well either i need a better car or i need something else to make right i mean that reminds me of i remember when i turned 25 in in the us when you turn 25 uh and you want to rent a car they give you a better rate because they somehow believe you're okay you're more mature at 25 instead of yeah yeah yeah yeah exactly i think it's i think it's the same here actually at least that's what they believe um so i was like okay well let me go ahead and get myself a convertible for the day because okay here's what it is i just i don't spend on myself and i have another friend of mine who's just absolutely beautiful self with self care is top

notch um and he's on the other stuff all the time and i'm just like i always make fun of him and he makes fun of me because like two extremes right and we anyways we're going to rent a car long story short i walk out with a corvette and i didn't plan on walking out with a corvette that day um but i realized that this car was an absolute monster and i admired it from a distance and i had it all day and by the time i was done with it i gave the keys back the next day i never want to own this car okay um it's like i had i literally got all that cereal out of me and then i realized everything hit like everywhere i drove i had millions of eyes look at me like

and it made me extremely uncomfortable let me be honest i was i was just extremely uncomfortable i'm like yo i'm a fake like this is not this is not me like i'm not i'm i'm not doing this and i didn't do anything i don't but i felt that screen you know but that's a very uh profound realization at a consciousness level especially since you were so young at the time you know you're saying you're 25 to have that realization that look actually do i want to be pursuing a fake persona a mask do i really want that it was terrible and then i remember so what happened was that that day the reason i met up with my friend is because we were supposed to go

and help out feeding the homeless on skid row so we're like all right let's head out i didn't like i i feel like i was such a knucklehead i don't know if you heard of of skid row but that's basically la's homeless population and it's this massive massive massive miles of just of of just homelessness living what is that called the entire skill schedule skid skid row yeah yeah so it's just i mean the smell of of just everything you could possibly think of it it breaks your heart because i the the activism for animals is on a

completely different level but that's a whole nother conversation like these human beings so i'm driving and and this is where i felt like an incredibly just disgusting person and i didn't i didn't need to but i just felt that at that moment because here i am this young dude in this corvette well this person is living on the street with clothes that smell like absolute just the worst things you can possibly name and here i am like oh it's my birthday and i'm going to go ahead and spend on myself like the first time i spend money on myself as like a slap in the face um and then i don't know it's just a terrible thing and then oh that's very that's a very profound realization

yeah so it was did that happen and then we only to arrive to feeding the homeless late i guess when the van pulled up the homeless people surrounded the van so aggressively they didn't need help passing it out they just grabbed the food plate in less so the population is incredible when you gotta like when you go search it up a little bit and see images you're gonna you're gonna it's gonna break your heart so we drove off there and we're like maybe we'll go to like a shopping center here um i've never been to beverly hills like what's going on here and then it's within miles apart i'm telling you i'm not driving past 5-10 minutes i'm in a

world of opposite ends of the economic social class spectrum yeah i can imagine and now i'm in beverly hills and i'm looking at brands that i used to hear in rap music not used to i mean i still do but like you hear these songs and you're like oh this oh i can't believe this is the story or this is what they're talking about and then every person stopped looked at me and my friend and took pictures of us and this put me at the worst position of my day it was like a the cherry on top of just feeling terrible i just hated everything when you said it took pictures of you what does that mean why yeah pictures of us because oh because of the car oh because you're in this

amazing car but so kind of what you're saying with the whole the this world that people have created and i'm sitting here in this car that i don't i can't afford this thing i'm i just kind of was hey it'd be nice to drive a fast car one day and it's being a corvette just to kind of see what this is like i i i i it was think not the worst thing because like you said i learned so much in this one day uh and so many things honestly if i if i'd be honest with you the the just the realizations that you've had at a soul level you know at the

level of consciousness in the soul in that day i think i think it takes people years to you know that's incredible that you say that because you were talking earlier about just marriages right my like my first marriage i was 19 years old right and what we go through is one of those things where like you know what i i'm muslim i can't date i'm supposed to walk this this line and i'm supposed you understand we all we all been there and it's like okay the only way i can get myself to the next phase um

is sit there and get married what what i mean i mean talk about being out of place and out of bounds right but that was the logic so i'm 19 i'm getting myself married and named the mistakes i made them i mean name the mistakes i want one after another now i always felt like i was a good person but i came with just guns blazing on just mistakes left and right and it's incredible because you you make a comment saying that women mature faster i'm not here to talk bad about women because lord knows we have a bunch of deadbeat fellas out there as well um but i feel like the line has actually sort of evened out and what i mean by that is that there is no conversation anymore

about what to do for the other person now there's also no conversation being had on what it is you really want for yourself so i do believe that in in in a relationship the very the most important thing i felt like i found was we have to figure out who we are and we have to be comfortable being alone um we have to enjoy our own companies the solitude thing is is so indispensable because a lot of friends of mine and a lot of people that i've met are looking for somebody else to fill that void now just like islam is supposed to complement it's they're seeking a validation

[Music] that's a thing right like and it has to be experienced um and very similar to religion i always felt like religion is kind of making me do these things when i when when one of the incredible things that may allah bless you for is i really realize what it meant that islam should complement our lives it should walk with us as opposed to stopping our tracks and trying to walk in islamic line that's not it was more about like no no islam wants you to walk where you're walking just just just go ahead and compliment it islam is here to

complement our lifestyle not impede it right and and i look at like a lot of my friends is like yeah guys do take longer to mature um but it got to a point where a lot of my friends who are single couldn't find anyone because the women weren't really they were doing what the guys are doing now let's be honest like they're like the the lines have evened out and everyone yeah and i think it's important to understand as well that nobody seems to exactly know what it is that they truly want and

and although that's okay to i accept that except the problem is people don't know that so they may think they do know but they don't like nobody actually knows what it is that they're seeking and this is regardless of gender so it would you know what are you looking for what kind of a person what what's important what is an important there's just a there's just a a kind of uh i don't know like a uh a cocktail of things which are contradictions often and you're right look it's not it's on both sides it's not um

that it's just really men that you know they they don't mature and and women do become so the the difference i found in certain ways um and this could be it could vary across you know different parts of the world so maybe it's a bit different there i i did find that you see because i think the especially in the uk muslim men were see one there wasn't a huge push on education here for muslim men secondly that there is a um you see most of

the muslims here are working class they're not middle class generally speaking okay so you might get an exception but they are generally all working class so you see understanding the class system as well makes a difference because you get an idea where the trajectory is going whereas in america i know many muslims may be middle class so that's slightly different the other thing is that so being working class a lot of them are also drawn to a lot of the kind of the road man culture the kind of gang culture drugs things like this but also staying at home and living with

your parents that solitude element is taken away so i think and i think men need this some i think everybody needs it but i personally feel that men may need it more than women but they need this solitude to kind of go through and to kind of you rise through it on the other side it's a person has to face themselves and i think that we don't get the environment to do it a lot so it's incredible because it makes me think about like some of the things the conversations i had in high school uh i was known as somebody who

was just different i was a practicing muslim in high school but i was in a non-muslim school and i remember a lot of my friends that were girls when they were dating guys they ended up having kids with them later and the guys were not working and they were at home i guess always smoking and just kind of like that and they were the ones working and i i said like look don't take this the wrong way but you may have enabled them because a man at the end of the day needs to be a man and when you take that away from him he's going to feel like you've kind of a like it's it's like it's hard to explain this right because we have to kind of it's a deeper level to it but i feel like a man needs to be a man and when his insecurities show is

because he's no longer he doesn't feel like a man at home so it's a it is it's as if you look at a lion and you realize that it's a lion because he finally roared but no the lion doesn't need to roar you can recognize it's a lion from a distance you don't need to hear them roar um and a lot of guys now they feel like they need to roar to let people know that they're a guy when in reality you're not really following the line there is a you see there is a lot of um see there's a lot of you get where i'm going with it yeah there's a lot of turbulence um in currently in this day and age with because of a lot of different things going on being thrown into a social

gender social strategy exactly so this gender the gender question you see that's one thing being thrown into this kind of stratosphere in addition to that you have this thing where men for example because the question then is well what does it mean to be a man and you say now this is going to be another question somebody throws in and and some people there will be the other question that but don't people innately feel this because are we not creatures goes if what is it to be a man don't we have to include the biological concept of testosterone so if we say

the testosterone makes a mask i know when people hear testosterone they go straight with one thing and that's not what i'm talking about science and the studies i'm sure you're well aware of this the testosterone in men it it it it significantly ties into their mental state their their their identity and even a lot of men are now showing uh depression symptoms and they're actually it's directly connected to the testosterone it is testosterone levels are linked to depression levels and things like depression and stuff like that there is and and with this gender role is pushing uh you don't have to be a man's man we're not

talking about the physical nature if we're not talking about everyone has to go out and look like you know musty when he's in the gym just absolutely shredded i wish but we need which reminds me i need to go to the gym we need resistance training right and we need to lift weights because that's actually one of the things that stabilizes our testosterone levels and men don't do that anymore men i sit behind the computer all day you know what i mean it's like this it's you see one is the the physical side yeah right physical which i'm i'm all up for and obviously i i agree that it's important taking care of your

health and doing that but you see it's not it's not even just the physical i do feel that um the way for example in jungian psychology how they will say that look we all have within us a two million year old self um which we have within us and then we have our own layers like this i we have within us i mean that sentence you can give it different interpretations that we are fundamentally we are still creatures except right you know we are insane that

there are so many things that are instinctively within us and just two three decades of human civilization is not going to be able to change something so core in our essence that and people have a yearning and i feel that because this society has um has kind of silenced many manifestations um and has also kind of shamed and it's kind of softened up um and i don't mean by that aggression or violence of course because i'm i'm totally against that

kind of stuff but it's softened in its outlook especially towards men and it's said to that masculinity for example is toxic what all it's really done is it's made people bottle up this thing and either hope that it drowns and dies or it just remains within and and it causes problems and this is why i i genuinely do feel that it causes a lot of men to suffer because they don't know how to because the question is you know i suppose if you went back there was there was an image in time that okay this is what you could

become you know so for example like let's say for women they there is an image of empowering empowerment like why do you become more powerful become more do this more so there's an image but there's nothing for men in fact it kind of simmers it down and it kind of dims it out a bit in society there isn't an empowering i suppose people could argue because they might say well the patriarchy is already how much more empowerment do they want i guess that could be an argument but there isn't in terms of the archetype

there isn't something and there's a lot of confusion and then you throw in this whole thing of well gender doesn't exist anyway and and all this kind of stuff in in in the discourse and people this is why i feel that when jordan peterson came on the scene he got such a huge following and because people were obviously holding um all this kind of you know within and they they wanted somebody to say something and i'm not saying every i'm not saying that i'm not just about i yeah i'm not trying to say that uh these people that have these kind of certain views are definitely right i'm

just saying there are problems that people are not addressing and because they're not addressing them it's the they haven't gone away they just you know people are just being told that you need to you know be i don't know like i know people won't like it but much softer everybody just needs to you know you need to move away from this this kind of uh like let's say we've got gender as a spectrum uh that's kind of panned out from let's say if we could say from men man to woman and it's kind of trying to say let's neutralize it all and bring it more towards

a gender neutral um outlook in life so it's it's not really masculine but it doesn't have to be very it's kind of like and this is obviously i think it's it's causing a lot of problems for people what's causing problems confusion i mean you have the the quote-unquote there's so many different cultures now you have the world culture you have the uh the different activists now you have the cancer culture you have and like as we're going through the studies and the research and you look at all the like okay what is their actual message what depends on how they feel when they wake up so it's one of those things where like this is like i feel that this that

this this this is another thing that i feel that this there's a yearning to fight but there isn't a fight to fight for so so so what happens is people they we want to fight for something but we don't know what to fight for so it's like right it's very common like in afghanistan right like that well you mentioned that like there was a talk about jihad the war ended now it's like all right what do we do now we got we built all this this war talk and now we have well what do we need we need to find a fight yeah but here i mean like here you've got young people who

are quite empowered and and i think that could be a good thing but the the the problem is that they have a yearning to fight for something to make you know i wanna i wanna stand up for something but everything's most things have already been stood up for so it's like well what do i do so i know i'll fight for i'll fight for a pronoun but it doesn't it's not really you know it's hardly a civil right move civil rights movement so what i'm saying is people have a yearning to fight which i think is a good thing but then they're not sure what to fight for so they're given

you know they just grasp onto these little things but yeah it's an interesting age though it is interesting are you familiar with dave chappelle dave chappelle yes of course did you read did you listen to his most recent stand up the controversial one i haven't watched the recent one i've got to watch it i've i've heard about the backlash i saw one or two jokes about uh was it the trans jokes and i think there was some jewish jokes or something i i just saw some clips i actually think you would actually do an incredible job watching it and doing uh an analysis on it i think that you know what okay i'll do that i'll do that because i think that that would reach a

lot of uh uh people and i think that you would uh you know what let's let's do it for next next week that would be interesting yeah yeah and we'll go from there so um i think that will be uh uh you you'll really enjoy it i i and and you'll take a lot of pieces from it and i think a lot of people missed what his message was and it just it was to me it seemed very obvious but it didn't seem like it was that i don't i i don't because my my kind of gist of what was happening was people trying to cancel him this was just the cancel culture but i haven't

watched his thing so i'll have to watch it but i i generally i'm not down with the whole council culture thing and i don't know i guess i'm just old old i guess the cancer culture is is yeah i mean i don't even it's not even worth commenting on um before you let me go and cut me off and go on to the next beautiful person um i wanted to recommend the show if you haven't watched it already sure see there you go i'm telling you there you go yes somebody's saying it's a yes so i'll do that i'll watch it yeah just connect yeah i did watch the video

we've got to do our catch up anyway the patreon session so i i did show i wanted to recommend if you haven't watched it already uh have you seen the show or heard of the show called vikings on the history channel no vikings on the history show yeah you're not talking about the tv series vikings yeah i am oh you're talking about the series no you're not not documentary we're talking about the series but it's a show like right there with with ragnar right yes the one i've watched is is the popular one yeah you're the one with

ragna and the the tv series on prime and on i think i don't know yeah yeah the one with five seasons or six seasons five yeah yeah for some reason when i went through it it was an incredible show for me for me and i felt like you might find it interesting just because of oh i i loved it uh although i thought towards the end it kind of lost its its children usually i stopped watching it after he passed away yeah yeah it gets ruined after him after yeah it's it made very little sense i would say spoiler alert but this is on the history channel so these are just facts i mean i don't want

[Laughter] to an end like the show kind of does a significant dive but i just felt like it was a very good show especially was very he was very wise in his actions in his speech and his way he would move and maneuver i don't know it's enjoyable yeah but yeah there was a lot of wisdom in that honestly i there were certain things in it so profound and um you see i like we anything we watch or read or what we should do is or even in our interactions with people although you can't in every interaction but

we should take lessons for life and there's so much in these tv series and these tv shows that a person can take and and it's you know it's um it's interesting there's that's there's that scene in a vikings where he's being uh it's before his his kind of his death where he's being carried away in the carriage and and he's he's kind of hallucinating or he's kind of seeing the past and he can see the the seer he kind of he imagines him and he asks him

uh about what's going to happen and and he can he he looks and he can see himself playing with his his kid his little kid and his wife and and and that scene is so powerful and in it it's it's so amazing because he unravels i mean he leaves it for the viewers but he asks this seer who they're always so um superstitiously kind of bound to that do you see this will i will i live will i make it will he asks him and he kind of shows well you know maybe you got some things right maybe you didn't and

you know it it basically on he unpacks unlocks that superstition in maybe but maybe it was us believing in what you were saying what i say right and and at the same time he sees his life he sees and and he and despite his because he's he's conquered an incredible amount he's his achievements have been huge from some perspective right right and he's this huge figure but he sees himself when he was simple he did he wasn't this great ragnarok at that that uh i mean this great ragnar at that point

he's just this man coming home to his wife and his son and and but they're happy and it's it's it's amazing that that whole thing and right now he's even though he's this huge figure he's he's he's fallen from grace and to kind of recapture a legacy can only be done through death and that's where he's going to because he knows that you know this will maybe spike it'll kind of seal a legacy for him i might as well feel right it'll finally stamp to his entire lifetime because when that point where he disappeared

it was one of those things where like you're just kind of floating around like hey you're better off your time is done you're not in your prime anymore your story is but we can't really close the book yet because you haven't closed it you're still breathing so it's wow i figured you would enjoy i want to rewatch it there was so many pieces that i was taking from it yeah i i do love i must say tv series and tv shows but whoa you know what it's uh so we'll catch up but i appreciate all of this take care speak soon man all

right all the way from california there you go some quite a bit of a discussion there on on tv series on social dilemmas on gender femininity masculinity the world culture the council culture and dave chappelle right okay we've got jawad let's bring in imam jawad and then let's wrap this up people assalamu alaikum wallace

[Laughter] jawad illuminating the room with his own presence [Laughter] so i was thinking about the the last super chat so i joined the stream late but uh i saw the the last super shower i think the question was about the

the earlier muslims and their activities and i was just thinking about it and i think maybe one of the reasons for so much advancement so quickly was also a sense of closeness to the prophet sallallahu alaihi because you see the more it spread the more it spread the more distance started to be created and what i mean by that is uh distances in more cultures more traditions were now being brought together and i also

from my understanding again this is just i'm just sharing some of my initial thoughts that i had none of this is you know you can take it or leave it but i also think it was curiosity because a lot of because a lot of these uh sahabah then it went to the tab and so on a lot of them were seeing new parts of the world they were traveling there were senior places and there was more curiosity at that time that what is this what is that then when they like for example you said like the house of wisdom and everything i think there was a lot more

curiosity to find out and figure out things and do research and i think with time in certain societies when it went there it sort of started dying out you know yeah i mean there's definitely there's like a zeitgeist and a spirit of the time of the age that we feel as in spirit as in the feeling of the age and in certain times there is a lot of uncharted territory so it's it's interesting i read a comment one a quote once where it said

that ah where the person said you know i've been born in the wrong age they said we're too late for earth earthly exploration and too early for space exploration because you know you don't really apart from tourism and just personal adventure the earth has been explored you're not in our age there isn't that curiosity to explore earth i don't mean in a tourist sense i mean in true exploration because the earth people have beat us to it so for example if you were learning maths today or science

you're not learning it with that spirit to for for profound exploration you're just run of the mill you're just doing what everybody else is whereas if you were i don't know learning science 100 years ago you might be thinking well actually you know what maybe i'm going to be this new i'm going to do something which nobody else has done because there's so much uncharted territory and you're right that you know in the time after the the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam there was the world was changing

and it's interesting that you see islam then is that catalyst it sets into motion huge you know landmark historic developments for human civilization but part of that will be this curiosity of uncharted territory going to new places what is this culture even about what are those people about what are you know these books hadn't been written yet about people about countries about

people had heard of certain places like india and china but you know not every maybe an odd person had traveled to a certain thing and you know certain place so you're right and and things were still malleable they were you know fluid they could change they could develop things hadn't set in stone yet and yeah and and with time that disappears and this is why with the discovery of america it seemed for for europe it seems to have kindled that for them that curiosity and

um or at least it seems to be okay or at least it brought back the wealth that kindle did because uh it ties what happens is with the discovery of america you also start to get the renaissance bubbling up in europe and in the centuries that follow from art to science to the industrial revolution and obviously clone you know colonization of the world as well is taking place but yeah so i think exactly what you're saying then like that i think over time that curiosity then dies down right and then by the time it reaches to certain generations

it completely dies up and then because it and and another or or is it that what happens is people with the curiosity it's not that it dies itself that they do achieve and they do discover i was going to say that so what i was going to say was by the time it reaches a certain point because so many it kind of comes back to that statement of i'm born in the wrong time so much advantage exactly so much advancement has been made that then by the time it reaches a certain generation they think exactly yeah the generation

it's just just the norm where is the our turn now to do that yeah they don't have that yeah the advancement is for to a large extent it's already done so that creates that sort of because it's interesting that you know you have the question that you see in the time of the colonial um with you know colonial powers around the world doing what they were doing it's interesting you see many of them that went to india and despite the or putting aside obviously the atrocities and that was

going on but in addition to that it's it's it's intriguing how curious they became like linguistics for example studying the origin of languages this actually begins as a science in that era because some of these people that went there that knew certain languages um realized that wait a minute actually you know this word that you guys use in sanskrit seems to actually be very similar to a german word which actually seems to be quite similar to a uh you know an english word

and could all of these be related and so then they set about you know embarking on what would become a new science known as philology and now the question was you see it's not anybody else could have asked this question as well the people of india could have asked this question but they didn't this was you see this is the thing that that curiosity it seems to be that what will happen it goes from people to people and and

in that era it does seem to be with you know with that whole part of the world europeans and so on looking into industrial revolutions looking into science looking into certain things looking into these studies like languages well you know deciphering you've got the the rosetta stone let's deciphering the the hieroglyphics all of a sudden i mean it's not the egyptian the pyramids were always the they it's not that the pyramids weren't there and and arabs and muslims lived with the pyramids and lived with these hieroglyphics and certain people may

have known what how to read them but it just was never carried down and people didn't seem to have a curiosity or not a strong enough curiosity to crack it like they may maybe they did feel that oh i wonder what they say but you know let's get obsessed about it until we can resolve it is a different level and i also think it comes back to some over time some civilizations then fall down as well right like as one rises another falls another one rises another one falls and i think that's just the

natural system that is and that's right and that's what ibrahimov that he sets out certain laws for uh you know for dynasties and dynasts and he says that he gives us a cyclic model he says that this is how dynasties will exist they have these these patterns that they will rise from nothing and then they will set about and then this will be the kind of the the pinnacle yeah because he says yeah he says that those who faced some difficulty will be at the

prime that they will be at its peak because they have a deeper sense of appreciation and then he says then they'll be the next generation who only are born in opulence and uh affluence and then he says this is will be like the beginning of the decline but then those who are born to them will usually be in so much luxury that they can't be bothered so for example he'll say they can't be bothered to defend the territory or fight or do stuff like so before you know it they will be attacked upon and the by the time it's after them it's gone one number then he says yeah

and then he says it will be another full you know full circle again and so he gives it these stages it's interesting but yeah yeah it's interesting for sure yeah i was just thinking okay you need to think this is i wanted to sort of bounce this idea off of you to get your thoughts on it do you think with over time because i think i don't know if it's right to say this but it is quite evident that we have it has become harder to

sort of bring the practices of the prophet sallam and sort of conduct ourselves the way he did and the other prophets and messengers did ali i think it i think in in some manner it has become harder i i don't know to what extent i think it differs person to person society the country's when you sing it's become harder to to to to to do what sorry to to to live up to the prof prophetic ideals exactly to live up to those ideas i'm not sure if you agree with me or not but i i feel

like this is something i've observed i i don't know if it's i'm just speaking from me person right my own struggles and my own time to bring those applications into my life and how because tough it can be but again like i said it i think it's the first person to person but do you think this so this is my actual question and then you can sort of give your thoughts do you think this has any relation if it were to be true do you think it has any relation to where the muslim community or the ummah

or however you want to put it is today right so you see if that question is it more difficult today to live up to the prophetic ideals i i'm not sure if it necessarily is but i think the problem may lie in what we prioritize as the prophetic ideals you see to me i've i definitely i believe that the prophetic ideals were the ones about

um serving humanity and about compassion and about love for people in that sense i don't think it's um i don't think the ideal is out of hand or out of reach i think the struggle is just one of the ego and of the self to to rise to do that because you know it's difficult for example giving it's difficult being you know it's not it's not necessarily difficult but you have to train you have to kind of exactly again i'm not saying it's impossible there are al hamdulillah people

achieving it and there's yeah so the reason i was saying this uh imam jawad was that i was contrasting it to if somebody thinks that well um the prophetic ideal is to dress in a certain way let's say and to pray i don't know like so many nephilim a day and to do things like that to me are not necessarily the ideals that that's we would then have a a principal methodological difference in

how we're looking at the prophetic ideals because maybe that stuff is difficult uh but to me that stuff was not the ideals and they were not the primary things of focus so it's not if somebody said well you know it's difficult to walk around in a nizar today and we're a long thobe and and to wear sandals and and to live let's say here now sure but to me that that would not be the the mandate of islam so if but to some people if that's how they're viewing the the prophet's message

then obviously this may be difficult but you know if somebody maybe takes it a step further and says well we all need to ride camels we all need to in fact that's you know it's an interesting case in fact one of the sessions i'll do a whole session on it but it's an interesting case because you had the the person from france who would just ride a donkey you know the the i mean i mean in our times now so and and because he felt that this transport is from the sunnah and he just lives a very

sunnah only lifestyle so he's in i think he's on the i'll double check what city was in whether it's on the outskirts of paris or wherever but they've got pictures of him and he's just going through the normal the urban streets but he's on his donkey and and people obviously kind of laughing at him and and whatever but it's interesting because you see he too is coming from a place of love for the sunnah it's you see this is this is the thing that people most muslims will all agree that's not from the sunnah

to need to ride a donkey but really if you think about it any argument you present for anything being from the sunnah he can use that to up prove his same point because if you say well it's something the prophet did or if something will he he will say well the prophet did not use cars and did not use uh motorbikes and rather used you know had livestock and actual animals and and use them for transport you see it's the same argument of a person saying

well wearing a thobe or having a beard because people he would say well you know the prophet did these things so any argument a person uses to prove anything from the sunnah he that same argument applies for this person in proving that we should use a donkey instead of using cars and things like this you can't because if you're going to say well they never had donkeys in the prophet's time no they sorry they never had cars in the prophet's time well he would say yeah but they did have this and they use this so if you say well i wear these clothes well sure but that's today but then they had

this and this is how they wore it and and his whole point would be that well this is what the prophet did so you know anything the prophet did we consider sunnah so and he's coming from a place of love for the sunnah like you in fact you know i was actually thinking about this person and i'll do a case a whole thing case study on him because it's really incredible how much suffering this person must be going through for his for his love for the sunnah he must because he must be going through an immense amount of mocking

and he sacrificed because he's committed to a cause but yet it's misplaced and that's you see this is but this person can you imagine getting into his mindset trying to explain to him that it's misplaced it would never they would never buy it plus they sacrificed too much for it now similarly the the greatest that the message of the prophet is the humanitarian message and at that level i think it's still as easily doable today as it was ever in

fact it's it's very much more uh doable in certain ways you know we can help online we can go to you know you can use technology to help we've got let's be honest we today are incredibly fortunate to be where we are and who we are in the world today you know we're from a tiny portion percentage of mankind that have clean water energy heating roof over our heads have income we have you know we have luxuries

let's be honest we are from a tiny portion we are from a tiny portion of mankind today that are so fortunate and blessed and we can help people so easily as well you know we can just go online we can help this person help that person do a bit there do a bit here the the the roots are so many obviously we have to cultivate that mindset because you know people think well why should i give it to someone else i should you know spend on myself or keep my time for me i should and it's not about this isn't about giving money always it's more about the mindset it's about helping isn't all isn't always about

money it isn't about it's about that care you know when when it's there it will be felt you know a person will feel it they will yeah i think it's that disconnect with just constant running after the world and you know it's having that disconnect but it's just just sky bars just car you know it's the world and once you're in it exactly you can't really this person is trapped you know there's an amazing uh poem of ghalib and it's so it's it's so amazing because you can understand it in many ways and i

believe he's speaking about it from a spiritual perspective um where he says he says that you know whilst we by by taking the guise of poor people we watch the we we watch the actions or the great we watch the actions of the of the graceful play out or manifest themselves

meaning that you see that people the hadith the hadith could see that allah saying to the person that you know you know is i asked you for food and you didn't give me and the person said how can i feed you and allah saying yeah but this person asked you and you never fed him or this person was sick you see that this is it's not always about giving money it's that care like this person was sick you know kuntu mariadon

but such and such person was sick you never asked them how they are you never took out a little you know something an act of care so you know we watch the we watch the the the actions of the graceful play out who will who will reject us he will accept us it's actually a very profound um poet thinking about that tradition i do think you are correct that we are very fortunate from the fortunate people

um but i think with all of these um great things like technology and stuff like that there are the downsides right where even if you do come from a place uh uh a good heart you know you're coming from a good place in your heart somebody may not understand what you're trying to say or the message you're trying to send a cause they may misinterpret and that would always be if you

could i forget something you wrote for me it's it's been carved and etched onto my heart with a blade i took a rambo blade and hood belly car i wrote it out right here i was like wrote a poem for me lucky you didn't write a casino otherwise i'd have to etch this all over

okay no no no so i was just thinking of those things that like you know i think with all these amazing things they're come the downsides and i think the downsides always exist and they always will but i think it's just trying our best that we can do to spread the message and to go back to the characteristics and with that women may allah make us i mean among those who are able to follow the practices some people are asking what masjid are you up by the way i'm here in uh canada so in canada and what what's the some some people had
