5:37

what happens when I take a break and then I try to resume a live stream in any case Allah bless you all wow it's been a while I thought you know what let's let's tune in meet some of you guys discuss some fascinating points you know there's always some points of

6:15

discussion that I'm contemplating and I will share out the link shortly so you can you know those of you that want to jump on are more than welcome to do so till then I'll just see those of you that are uh here we've got um yep Yukan Allah bless you big fan of you

6:50

2020 we love hi hi love you too y Allah bless you huh in the words of who is it you know he has this poem that

7:32

[Laughter] [Music] let's let's see who we've got fad how you doing Abu sauran right Fletcher all of you it's been quite a while Allah bless you shukran shukran right you know let's I want to share

8:09

a something with you that I was sharing with my you know with my patreon and Discord group I not exactly a thought experiment but a point of evaluation that if we were to ask ourselves what's one great idea that I've come across this last year and and then we could reduce this time frame a person could think well what's

8:48

one great idea I've come across this last month for example or these last six months or this last quarter or this last and by idea I mean a concept something so not just you know like not just saying oh I have an idea let's go to this place not in that sense that's a different way to use the word idea but I mean more like conceptual an idea in the world of ideas that that we think wow you know like

9:27

just something fascinating and it got me thinking that would most people struggle to even say that they've come across one you know one kind of outstanding or mindblowing kind of idea that wow that you know something just like a wow factor to it throughout the whole of the last of a year would they feel that you

10:03

know yeah and if that be the case that is very concerning because we should aspire to be people of ideas not just you see to to be in the dun and to you know to be in the dun and to work to have a family to

10:41

um you know to do all of these things to establish yourself and they're amazing things nobody's detracting from that but what makes humans so unique it's not the fact that they have a family animals reproduce it's not the fact that they can exert themselves on their environment and have a kind of dominance or a hierarchy animals have that as well it's not that they set up an a boat animals do that as well it's not

11:16

that they travel it's not that but it's ideas this is a world that we exclusively encounter what if also ideas are not just these things in our mind what if they are a world unto

11:48

themselves that there is a world a plane a dimension of ideas that these ideas exist there perhaps in somewhat morphic resonance but they preoccupy that plane and the plane I'm speaking about is that this plane of Dimension is within the Barak it is within the Deep

12:24

unconscious and as K Yung said that it's not people who have ideas but ideas have people see what if it's that way that the ideas choose us Allah Allah that what if in the Deep you know in the Barak that there is this plane in the Deep unconscious and in some way that would

13:03

make sense that some people have ideas that some people have come that they repetitively or that they are more prone to to fascinating ideas whereas others seldom come across them I mean everybody gets by you know everybody gets by but yeah but I suppose there's a you there's a difference I guess in you

13:43

know in that getting by that so this this is something I'd been really I kind of engaging with and just reflecting upon and the more I think think about it the more I understand it that ideas and these things are a world onto themselves I and I mean by this an actual Dimension that we that we interact

14:20

with but equally they interact with us and that Dimension would be a plane in the realm of the Barak of the deep unconscious so yeah yeah I wanted to share that with you guys and have you um think about

14:50

it how does one know that ideas are true and real like our reality now you see that's fascinating a Al Maliki are you it's been such a while I haven't uh uh SE seen you or spoken to you in quite a while now it's been so many years I believe but it's good to see that you're well I hope you're well Allah keep you blessed you see it's fascinating because this question it

15:30

it supposes a lot let's just think about this question how does one know that ideas are true and real like our reality but what why are we so sure that our reality is the real [Laughter] one let's just think about this for a moment that why do we feel that our reality must be the one that is most real that this reality it's

16:10

it is but a like a kind of um like a hologram almost it is a manifestation um of the Bara and although it feels so real to us because it would because that's the whole purpose of it that the purpose of this dun is to feel real but what if the dream world is the real world now think about this

16:53

look and think of it in our day and age that we let's say we have a device and now we carry around and every so often for a while we have to dock it let it charge now to some extent okay but differently us humans we have to every day stop Sease to be conscious

17:30

and fall asleep now why must we sleep why and I know you know we'd say well it's restorative you know it it helps us restore and repair and heal and grow and all of these things but we do all of those things whilst we're awake as well the body still continues to grow you know a slow pace but it's still growing you know we're still the body cells are still being

18:09

made um the body is still healing it's doing all of these things even whilst we're awake it's such an anti-evolution phenomenon and it's so counterproductive to Evolution that we should sleep because we are completely unconscious vulnerable entirely exposed and that to for a quarter to a third of our entire day we just lie

18:43

there and nobody till today I mean from scientists know why we dream nobody understands this I mean they have some theories perhaps it's to it's just you know neural activation perhaps it's just this perhaps it's wish fulfillment as Freud felt perhaps it's blah blah blah but nothing we don't have anything after all of these years of human civilization nothing have we arrived at and it is so

19:23

counterproductive to our Evolution if we were to think about it so it would make no sense that we must sleep for that long unless the sleep of that dream world that dream space is so important that this being this entity can be entirely compromised for

20:02

the for the significance of connecting to that realm and that's what what I believe it is that you see when we connect to the Deep unconscious when this conscious mind switches off we have connected to the bar whatever is happening must be so important that it is well worth the risk of completely leaving this insan vulnerable and exposed but it's that

20:41

necessary that it must be done so yeah so what if that world and I don't say what if I'm saying this what if as I do believe this to be true that that world the bar is the real world this world you know what we go into in the dream state is more real than this but part of our reality we understand this to be more real cuz that's how it's wired that's how we're wired that's how we're kind of coded into this reality just

21:21

think about it now think about we now know that when you when you break matter down all of this everything this that me you walls roads anything you break it down to a molecular then an atomic level then you break it further it's empty space there's nothing actually there

21:59

that is so bizarre when we think about it like that is so counterintuitive and if we didn't know that to be true we would never accept it I think we would probably have lynched people if they had said things like that in the past but it's only because we know it to be true today in phys you know in science that we have to accept it and it it's something the comparison like let's say you broke an atom down into a you know into its kind

22:38

of you've got its nucleus so the nucleus is to the atom like let's say the nucleus and then it's just empty space in the atom so if the nucleus they say was the size of like a large football stadium something like this how big do you think the atom would be in comparison so if you've got a let's say a stadium and you say wow so that's the nucleus inside the atom and then the atom is then empty space how big do you think the atom

23:18

is if it was the size of a stadium the atom would be the size of our solar system and the rest is nothing and that's nothing there's nothing there so doesn't that kind of show us that what we think is real isn't is not necessarily real wow it's fascinating because I suppose in in Arabic comes from Al which could be the truth but it comes

23:56

from Al a name of Allah that Allah is the ground of being for our I'm going to share the link and see if any of you um like in reference to sleep sorry kind of rambl I don't I don't get the I'm going to share the link you're more than welcome to jump on let's see ah there's a comment

24:34

here right let's see maybe a weird follow-up question then why are we here not in the world of ideas in some kind of literal sense if sleep dream is not beneficial EV evolutionary evolutionary speaking right you see we are both here and there simultaneously think of it like this think of it like you have a screen on which you are playing a computer

25:13

game now the game that you're playing is in the console or in the CPU and but yet you are playing it there on the screen now it's not to say that you are like let's say you are the character in the screen now this would not be correct to say well you're not the character in the screen you're the character in the console or that you're not the character in the console but you're the character on the screen but they they're both the they are

25:52

both necessary for this existence for you to play the game but the character on the screen does not look like the character on the console in fact there are no characters on the console I mean let's say you know it's it's on a it's on the memory or however it is it's kind of coded in it's a sense of coding but it is in this manifestation in this MAA in this mhar in this

26:31

manifestation it is the character in the on the console it is that character but and it's it's in it cannot be separated so similarly we are in that world we are in this world so we are in this so if you're looking at let's say just to take that example a bit a step further let's say it was a CPU there's multiple things within the you know maybe you've got a disc in there or maybe you've got a hard drive you've got other pieces of equipment you've got chips you've got different graphics cards you've got all

27:11

of these things are things in some way in that realm you've got a world of ideas you've got a world of archetypes you've got a world of um you know you've got the actual the game so to speak you know the the we the kind of divine algorithm the coding so I mean that's a poor example because we're referring to things of this thunia which even if they complicated are not as you know truly reflective but still to give you an idea that is right who do we have here is that is

27:49

that F let me justum f how are you doing how are youum I good I can loud and clear loud and clear loud and clear nice just doing some work from home this morning you can see riveting stuff you can see riting stuff yeah take a break I like that what what what what is it you work as again you did tell me before uh I I work as a full-time accountant for an accounting firm and um

28:28

I've got I've got a little um small business on the side you know doing little tax returns and other little gigs for people on the weekends oh rather quite an interesting interesting weekend should we say hopefully not too long um wife's gone out to get some grocery shopping and I just thought yeah you go ahead and I'll um do my thing and I'll talk to Muti and I'll see you when you come back so how have you been farad and what going on share some thoughts some reflections with us first of all I just want to say thank you for actually having a meet up on a weekend because

29:06

most of the times you have it on um a weekday and I'm usually in the office here let me tell you something you know today as I uh thought look let's go live I actually thought to myself that seriously the thought occurred to me that you always request that put it on a weekend and I did think to myself well maybe you'll actually see it going live and can tun in yeah the world Allah Allah so mashallah all right so yep share some something with I actually have a couple of questions if that's

29:45

okay with you sure sure sure go for it go for it f g go for it okay and these can just be short answer questions doesn't have to be long sure sure sure you know how um I was was always curious about something you know how there are sometimes different rules for the prophet our Prophet Muhammad for example um I think he married uh nine wives in total and you know how his wives weren't allowed to remarry after he died so my question here is why one rule for the prophet and other rules for us if that makes sense yeah if you can just answer that just in a very short I mean that's

30:24

yeah sure I mean that's uh you see so people view these things from different perspectives um with regards to the number of wives that are person can marry so one way to see this that many people I I would argue most have taken this is they've said well the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam was allowed a dispensation to secure certain whether it was going to be deals or treaties or do things and so it was specific to the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam some other people would argue and to be fair

31:04

I'm I kind of see more weight in their argument that there is no restriction in Islam about how many wives a person can have that there is not this saying that it stops at Four is not actually such a strong argument so so you've got these different camps that look at this argument differently and and they will say well the verse in the Quran is not saying that you can only marry four it's enumerating them by way of example so it's not going to naturally enumerate in you know add infinum it's just going to

31:44

say you know you can marry in twos or in threes or in fours or and as in you get the idea so that's that group of people would say that they would then use the prophet's life as an example to show that that was permissible the other group which is the majority of uh Scholars they would argue that now that that this counting out this enumeration is fixed so it's because it's mentioned up to four uh but it is interesting that the Quran does not say it in that it does not say you know like

32:22

uh like in the normal ordinal numbers like you know like that it says which is a different kind of counting as in in jewels in threes in fours so it's kind of it's a different way it's not the normal counting that you have in Arabic like I like that so but they would say well we recognize that is the case it's not the normal counting that the verse is doing uh however uh they would then argue that to support that that uh that there is a Hadith where the Prophet said

33:02

to somebody that why don't you uh who had many wives that keep for and divorce the rest so they would say well that supports our narrative as suppose the other Camp of people would say well that Hadith has some problems in its chain which it does so I mean it's it's kind of you've got different but what predominates and preponderates is the fact that people generally most Muslims um most Scholars have understood that four is the limit and they've understood that then in that case how do you answer about the prophet Ali wasallam because to them then it's kind of like a difficult

33:41

question because you've got this problem whereas to the other Camp of people who are a minority people like Imam shaani you'll have uh NOAB sadik Hassan Khan amongst other people as well to some extent I suppose IAM kind of leaning that way but um so to that line of thinking the prophet having whether it was N9 or 12 wives it's something any Muslim can do so there's nothing special about about that number to say well you know why did the prophet of this so they get away from that equation because that equation doesn't exist and it's not a there's no

34:20

difficulty or challenging nature to that question to this group of uh which is the major majority they do lock down the four and maybe in some way have more regulations and and maybe they succeed in that side of the argument but then they're faced with the pressing question then well why did the prophet have it different to which their answer is just saying what I said before that they say well this was special so the prophet could set out certain treaties and do these things so that's a an overview obviously to whatever person

34:58

sees uh more strengthen they can go with yeah yeah and just my the second part to this question about why weren't the wives allowed to remarry after he died if you can just quickly touch yeah yeah I think that really was more so a matter of what certain people were kind of plotting so some people were saying things I mean there's a number of things that one first of of all in Islam we have this understanding that um there is a polygamous nature which Islam just

35:35

kind of Embraces so it it does have this understanding that well this world is not the real world the world to come is the real world and in that world who will people be with they will be with their you know partners with their spouses so a woman will be with the husband who she was with uh generally the the general understanding is who she was with last so nobody would ever be greater than the prophet sallallah alaihi wasallam so to the wives when they are asked in the Quran that do you wish to marry the prophet because if you

36:11

do it has uh so you know uh J 22 begins with this that the wives of the Prophet are being given that choice do you choose the prophet because if you choose the prophet there is a mission or you can choose the D and live your lives you can live your lives but there is a mission here and if you embrace the mission you embrace it as the mother of the Believers yeah because the prophet he is in the position of the father to us he says in

36:49

the I am to you as your father would be so his wives are our mothers well uh as in the Quran says they are your mothers so there is nobody that could ever be greater than the prophet s alaihi wasall and nobody would want to marry their mother after they've called A Woman My Mother they would not want to marry her and this is why this offer is presented to the wives of the Prophet sallallah alaihi wasallam before in saying do you choose this life or you can choose without the prophet it's not you know it's it's your choice the other thing is as well so

37:28

that's the main reason that it is that the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam is there's no comparison so once it's the prophet that's it uh the other thing is it's the mission and it's the fact that they are then the mothers of the Believers and a person does not marry his you know his or her mother now the thirdly this is maybe like a tertiary point that there were certain people that were saying in the lifetime of the Prophet as well that oh when the prophet dies uh they were kind of you know there's there's certain Hadith about certain people saying oh when the

38:08

prophet dies watch this is how like almost in a very uh denigrating way trying to say that we will marry his wives and then we will kind of like embarrass and dishonor them and and be kind of they were saying in not in a dignified way so there were certain people with that intention but that's not to say that's why the ruling was there the ruling initi is because of the prophet's Mam and it's because then they are then our mothers but this wisdom so it's not the cause of the ruling but it's the W another additional wisdom is

38:47

that that life that mission does have an entire sanctity to it so for people to come and try to plot against them or to make them targets now because they were maybe Hypocrites so what they're going to do is you know they they dislike the prophet so then now they're going to Target his wives so these were wisdoms but I'm not they're not the causes but they were wisdoms additional wisdoms yeah okay sure wonderful wonderful um my second question if that's okay uh yeah sure go for it go for it um I've uh gone through your lectures about the Virgin birth uh I think you had a

39:26

couple online and I did speak to my local IM he's actually a Malik Don like you he an graduate um he seems to sort ofly disagree with um what you know you said um what your views are which is fine um because he did mention something important I want to bring that up with you um why is he then called Isa IB maram for example if he had a father number one and number two why would Mariam Alam I think said it in the verse like I wish I died before I could um see This calamity or you know what I mean I'm not sure the exact verse Mariam was saying I

40:05

wish can you justly T So yeah so where is saying that it is to do with childbirth right not adultery or people think no no no no so just you know just so we're clear I don't think there's any evidence that Mariam was ever accused of adultery uh from in her lifetime that comes to us so clearly now this verse is subject to interpretation that what is this verse refer the other the the verse that she points to Jesus

40:43

because let's if you look from a historical perspective Mariam was not in a position of strength if the rabbis had accused her of adultery they would have killed her there's nothing that would have her saying oh I didn't or I did this or I did they would have just killed her there was not the the reason the people who came up with this that oh she was accused with adultery was much after Jesus's lifetime this is you you're seeing people who turned against Jesus later on insulting

41:23

and this came about that oh wasn't she accused of adultery and so on now now obviously this narrative has preponderated and so people because it's preponderated and it's been uh widespread now it's gone on for centuries Islam has picked up on the judeo-christian tradition before us so people may read some verses in light of that narrative so they may assume that there's a verse in which it says that uh Mar Alam points to Jesus so they're

42:00

assuming this is to do with uh adultery because there's an assumption that she was accused of adultery okay the other part I think in the Quran that the my local IM mentioned that I'm not sure the exact verse did the Jews or the people say to her oh Mariam you you come from a noble family yeah that is the ver refering yeah would didn't really expect his behavior from me so what they mean yeah that's a uh yeah a a beautiful verse now that's the verse that people then point to saying well she must have been accused of adultery because what

42:39

are they referring to CU they say that you know what is this that you've brought and she says that she kind of points to Jesus and they say how do we speak to a boy that was just in his who was just in his cradle yesterday like why should we speak to a boy like that note that the Quran uses the word Sai which is not a an infant Sai is a boy okay now it now here people

43:17

say well oh the Quran used that as a metaphor but really if so let's say she's given birth and turned up with a baby you would that would be like a now they say how do you expect us to talk to somebody who was who used to be he was just in his m a a boy now so okay so a lot of people and I'll say the majority have taken this to feel that no he was uh a tiny a newborn infant he was

43:56

a newborn baby and even though the word being used is not for a baby it's for a boy that like an a slightly older boy as in not you know it could be somebody like you could use soie for somebody up to about the age of maybe 10 11 something like that but people would say well this soie being used here is a metaphor like they're just using it but it's actually a baby it's like that so because they've gone with this General narrative that she was accused of adultery so they're assuming this verse must be speaking about the

44:33

adultery the other way of looking uh because it says look she came she came carrying him now this is the what is this is the strength in their argument so the strong part of their argument is this point that they say she came carrying him so they say oh look but it must have been an infant but then the weak part of their argument is it doesn't use the word infant he uses the word soie which is a uh like a maturer boy so that is the weak part of their R so they've got a strong part and they've got a weak part so looking at it the other

45:13

way you would argue that this is making reference to a different time Jesus was not a baby here Jesus was so I believe it's in the it may be I I believe it's in the Gospel of Luke that that Jesus visits Jerusalem as a boy and when he visits Jerusalem he's about the age of 10 or something or a bit older but he goes missing and Mary can't find him so it's the only so she's looking for him and she eventually finds him at the temple with the priests now here the context is that Jesus as a young boy had challenged the

45:51

priests because he had Divine wisdom he had challenged them because they with their coruption now they were infuriated that who's this little boy trying to talk to us Mary finds him and they say to Mary that as she's kind of trying to take him that uh who you know who who is this that you've brought by the way so as she's taking them out they stop her say who is this this insolent child and she points to and here carrying him meant she had him on a donkey that she was taking away he was sitting on the donkey because in

46:30

Arabic in the other verse of the Quran uh when it's speaking about right carrying one another on a camel it says that you may carry them on a camel here it's not saying to the prophet that you're going to physically carry them it means that you'll carry them on a like on an animal for example meaning that you would allow they would ride a camel they would ride a horse or a donkey as in you lead it and they so so the verb is used for that as well so this understanding would say that this is referring to that incident that they were so inflamed that who is this

47:09

child so when she says well why don't you just ask him you know whatever you were debating they say you expect us to speak to a child who was just in a cot yesterday like you are from a noble family how dare this child talk back to us so this incident is actually speak speaking about Jesus challenging the priests as a young boy now if you approach it with this understanding that no he's a baby and this has to do with adultery sure you can it can fit that narrative if you carry in this way can fit this narrative so it's it's it's

47:48

subject to however you're viewing it okay but yeah okay thank you thank you very much much for that and um just before I go you got any um more mind traps uh lined up anytime soon preferably with Dr shabir Ali or um Sheik atabek for part two and part three so you know sh uh atabek did say to me that he uh did want to uh do another another Mind Trap but uh yeah but I know he is very busy often and um

48:28

you know he he he sometimes very you know he he has a lot going on I appreciate that but he did message me I think about maybe about a couple of months ago or something and he said to me that look you know let's do a Mind Trap but let me just finish some things and then when I'm free I'll do that so I'll chase him up on it to be honest I've been terribly kind of busy in my own world and so much has been kind of going on that you know and and and life stuff as in good I suppose you know good stuff I

49:07

guess you know so yeah so because of that I've been a bit distant myself but I will chase it up with right okay well it's been a pleasure take care byee alayum people fad from Australia v v well guys what an interesting point of discussion there huh um right

49:43

so so what's this so what's a baby boy called so you could say w you could say the Quran does use the word in other contexts uh somebody that or you could say THL you could say any of these words soie generally is not used to refer to a baby generally speaking it's not used it's like saying you could use it but it's not generally used now you could use it by way of metaphor so you know like I could say to a young boy let's say I say to a

50:20

5-year-old right young man I could use it in that way but normally people wouldn't say this man over here they wouldn't say that but I could use it occasionally upon by use of metaphor so like that you could but it's generally in Arabic you wouldn't refer to an an infant as a soie so but the argument is there that you know it's being used as a metaphor and that's fine the Quran does have

50:51

metaphor all right okay we've got uh Dr maid shaffi allum Dr ma alhamdulillah we've lost your uh n there you've uh you had the C uh the camera on a moment ago if you right sure sure sure I'm

51:29

tryed no problem no problem ah there you go oh how are you K and where are you joining us from Dr Majid Shafi me I'm from Kashmir sir Shar allahar Allah bless Kashmir and bless shagar a mean aan and and Grant it the peace and serenity that it truly deserves I mean how are you doing and share some thoughts with us Dr maid it's a doctor is it a medical doctor or

52:07

a PhD doctor uh uh I'm not sure if you CAU that I was just curious is that a medical doctor or is that a PhD doctor a medical doctor I guess like my internet is not like good enough it's breaking so I have to like no problem do you want to turn you can turn the video off if you like if it's going to make it easier and you just want to do audio uh for you

52:45

drct so yes talk to me so what would you like to share yeah I had like um 10 number of GR s but something that I would like to prioritize was uh what are the general rulings for place of conflict as um as for as as a you know as a Muti I'm asking you this thing because um you know if there is a place of conflict is Hijra from that place um

53:23

necessary or a part of discourse or is it waj or something like that or Hijra doesn't exist or attach itself to a place of conflict no so like let take let's take Kashmir as an example so Kashmir is occupied by where you're from by the that part of Kashmir by the Indian forces now it doesn't mean you have to kind of you see it doesn't mean you have to leave the place or it doesn't mean that you can't can't trade there or you can't do business or you can't do um you know

54:02

you can't carry on with your life it does not is that what you mean the Rules of Engagement is that what you mean like war is that what you're asking to like fight and stuff like that is that what you're trying to say um for me particularly I'm trying to talk about the rules for I I thought you coming live so I'm more worried about your safety here in in Kashmir here so yeah I mean look you know what we would say is that it these things are just all

54:39

circumstantial it just depends no one situation will be identical to another things are subjective there's manyas in Islam there's many there's many rulings that are taken by default many dispensations there are leeway but it just depends you know there's war scenarios there's just so much going on uh people you know it's not like one place is not like the other and Islam is here to help it does allow Islam is not a dean of

55:16

pacifism um it it does have a military you know perspective that Islam does stand up for itself we do believe in Jihad uh but we don't we're not oppressive when people are attacked Allah says that they have been commanded that they have been given permission that they can stand and fight that they can defend themselves that they can fight they can and some people at the same time if they don't want to they you know it gives the them that option Allah says the land of Allah is vast people

55:55

can the prophet Sall alaihi wasallam in mecah migrated to Medina he didn't take up arms he didn't do any of these other uh you know these rulings what people do later on so people say oh in these situations Can you steal can you do this can you do that the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam never ever did things like that he never you know in Makkah they never used to steal from the kufar or go around you know bad mouthing the kufar or doing things like this but the prophet did migrate to Medina in the subsequent era of the prophet's life he did take up arms he did defend Medina he

56:33

did fight the kufar um but wherever given a chance wherever given a choice the prophet would always as the Hadith says that he would always uh he would always sway towards peace because he was and he also came for peace Islam is in essence peace it is a state of submission so wherever the prophet had a choice if he would sway towards peace but where the people did not give him that choice then they stood their ground

57:11

and they took up arms and they defended themselves and these you know and and we make Dua for people everywhere people in Kashmir people in Gaza people in you know in in places in Burma in wherever and everywhere that Muslims are suffering we make Dua for them Allah make things easy for them I mean but yeah I mean that's the rest is look all fatwa of people it's not for me to really give you a fatawa for you it's you know the rest are fatawa you're going to get all kinds uh you'll get all

57:49

kinds of things people saying things you know that you uh sometimes saying bizarre things you can do this you can do Haram things you can do all kinds of things people saying no you can't I would say that the example is the example of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam whatever the prophet sallallah alaihi wasallam did seek guidance in that the rest we make Dua for you I hope that's of some help Dr Majid okay was there any other question or I think we've lost Dr Majid Dr Majid well it's been a pleasure that was Dr

58:28

Majid Shafi hello hello oh right hello Dr Majid yes Allah bless you Allah bless you right shukran take care you're very welcome aanam alaykum there you go people uh the connection there wasn't too good but the main thing is that the hearts are connected allahar right so yeah

59:08

what's so I was just looking if there was some interesting question other than that people I think it's we can Al all right stages for example what is this about um or life originated from water yep there oh yes there's plenty of videos on things like that

59:44

and sure deep seek oh yeah you know this is fascinating that the way the whole world you know wow it's like deep seek just shook the world is it I'm telling you China is the future people uh yeah we really I and I think this is a huge wakeup call but I think it's it's a well- needed slap in the face to people you know the kind of uh alleged Western Monopoly or you know

1:00:21

Germany that they feel they have so and people like Elon Musk uh yeah so you can see that how all of these things suffered you know I shared something today it it was a series of slides to do with China and I think it had nin things that China has achieved in the last month so it has uh and it shows you you know significant World level so they created they replicated the uh they created plasma state in artificial sun

1:00:59

that um endured for 1,000 seconds they broke their previous record of 400 seconds for it to create a plasma state so they did that within the last month they created deep State uh I'm sorry deep seek uh which kind of completely I mean I think is it like a trillion dollars was lost uh it's crazy Nvidia I mean check this out they thought that they you know that they had this monopolized this by saying well you can't even use our chips how will

1:01:37

you how will you bypass huh so you know where there's a will is away necessity is the mother of invention people in Arabic and the Chinese you know where a way the Chinese will find it you know the people of the of the past used to think they are y

1:02:07

Ma they're proper y ma though not in a not in a bad way but in a they're like a different life force man the Chinese people and but I I think it'd be such a cool time to be Chinese though don't you think so I I think it'd be if a person was Chinese they be like loving it they'd be thinking wow and so they created the artificial sun the Deep seek uh they've now released uh this other you know the AI I think they've revolutionized they also leashed sixth generation a Jets I mean something

1:02:46

that's uh there was they created the largest ever amphibious uh warship in the world I believe they just launched that in the last month they it's crazy what China are doing I mean this WOW honestly I I we need to start learning Chinese you know honestly I need to resume my Chinese yeah sh yeah right yeah so H we need to we need to do that yeah

1:03:25

so but it's amazing and I feel in some ways this is this is you know maybe this is the the downfall of such arrogance that certain people have certain systems people like these people like Elon Musk and it's and I think you know what's amazing I said this before that last year and truly speaking you know

1:04:02

Gaza Gaza became the litmus test to see who truly stands for Humanity and who is a shaan and we got to see the true colors of people like Jordan Peterson just a shaan you know people I many people looked up to Jordan Peterson I I used to be very fond of Jordan Peterson thinking that the way he stood up to militant atheism I leared a lot from him but truly he had sold his

1:04:41

soul people like Elon Musk you know there was a time where I really many people looked up to Elon Musk as a pioner I used to look up to him think wow this guy's like a visionary sold his soul and it's so evident you know this Nazi salute he gets on stage does it twice this whole thing like his whole you know the way he shoves his face up the rear you know up Israel's behind and his kind of masters from

1:05:20

there that he has to suck up to I feel the wrath of Allah has descended on these people and you know they they like they had a God complex the Quran cites the people of saying you know who is there out there that is mightier than us you know larger than us in AI larger than us in Tech who who is

1:05:57

there and Allah uses a people for the downfall of another people you know and there a fascinating poem by and with that has fate dictated amongst people that the Calamity of one people will be the a

1:06:35

benefit for another people so so yeah and I feel that this is a reminder to humanity not to be so arrogant so yeah this is been absolutely just enthralling to watch really

1:07:07

um yeah so yeah L other than that people what I'm going to do is yeah let's wrap that up and anybody that if you do want to reach out what uh we've got Mark Al lonetta I try to tell you m the all these charlatans are not smart you did you did you know God bless you ah Mark you did you know I it's embarrassing I'm not going to lie
