appreciate I appreciate the comment the feedback it's so distractive distraction man distraction all right we got CH gam alaykum brother looking smart and well groomed as as usual along with Allah bless you Allah bless you right so you know we have to we have to share a few words on the passing of Queen Elizabeth

II Liz has finally kicked the bucket people she has decided to I say decided not like it was in her control but yeah let's I think it's first and foremost her passing is a it's a reminder that no matter what resources what wealth what science technology and and

just human advancements that anybody has and unquestionably she had the best resources at her disposal that any possible human being could have had I mean she's from the elite you know few select individuals in the world that every single person on Earth knows about and who who just enjoys an unfathomable amount of wealth that truly I doubt anybody knows

the the amount of wealth that she uh truly had access to so despite that this dun is ephemeral transient and passing that it does not matter whether you are from the lower strata of society or from the elite Royal ruling

class everyone and each and all will at someday have the final curtain drawn for them and that's a very powerful reminder so yeah one thing for sure money definitely kept her in very good health I mean she looked phenomenally great for her age and if you just think about how much she's witnessed I mean she's from the aftermath of World War

I and living till now wow you know one thing for sure I feel prince prince King Charles King long liveed the King King King Charles thei brother he I think must have thought yes my Dua finally has he must have he must have thought I've been yeah I've been making Dua for decades

finally and my Dua gets accepted man he has ascended you know he's he's he's come to the throne at what 73 or something and I think the queen looked in Better Health than him B I don't know what's going on with his fingers those things are just I don't know what that condition is but he's obviously got the best medical advancements at his disposal and yet still he's got these Super Hyper swollen fingers and

yeah but I mean people say he is uh more sympathetic to Islam and he may be he may be I feel that he definitely is more sympathetic to Islam and Muslims than the queen was definitely you see the thing about the queen is I think the queen she clearly had a presence to her and you can understand that I watched a clip by uh Jordan Peterson speaking about the queen having passed and he made some incredibly VA valuable

points that you see there was this symbolism of authority and um that she would have unquestionably uh just wielded and just had that the you see for many people that don't know every Monday before as the first course of action for the prime minister they have to take a trip to Buckingham Palace and Report the weekly Affairs and the plans for that week to the queen in a Royal audience every week without fail every Monday morning

and if and the woman you're talking to has been alive since your own perhaps grandfather was and this woman has witnessed World War I and she's witnessed over a dozen Prime Ministers come and go or 13 or may this being the 14th now so with Liz truss find getting her royal audience and then the queen dies he me you know but uh that must be so daunting having to turn up and

wow people would be I mean they you can imagine the the the kind of just what kind of a a harrowing experience that must be so yeah now the queen was this you know now looking at her she's like this there's this appearance of this cute old lady you like a cute Grandma kind of uh manifestation but I don't think she by any stretch was a a kind of

sweet quiet old lady on the contrary I believe that she was incredibly Stern and very powerful not just powerful as the queen but as a personality she was a formidable Force I don't think she by any stretch was you know like this sweet old lady like a grandma that just by looking at her you have this image like she's she looks so sweet and looks so like a cute old lady and who's who's probably and people picture these

things but I I think she was incredibly Stern strict ridiculously kind of uh religious about her protocol and ambitiously held on to the throne so and and she had the other Royals under luck I mean and most likely she had Princess Diana killed I mean this is this the

same this is the same Royal Highness and yeah and you have to remember she's from an era where the world was so different and do people really change if they if the bulk of their formative years have passed in that era so I think people can change so long as but imagine reaching 60 years of age or 50 going past 50 years of age and the

world is still so backwards in so many things I mean we're looking at the80s and so racism wasn't even illegal in the UK so I mean that was bought in in 1988 so you can see that this woman is from this era where you weren't if she was if she was giving a speech you weren't allowed in pubs or these things to listen to the speech whilst eating anything drinking anything you had to uh stop there was a whole religious protocol which the military

and those people take very seriously I mean it's not um I know people the public are irie fairy but the queen and these people so yeah that's my thoughts on her I I think sure you know people say she did a lot of good things and was this figure of this symbolic figure for and sure I accept all of these things I do also think that look really she had witnessed incredible oppression at the hands of

the British and even in a diplomatic way CU one could say well nobody wants to assume responsibility but even in a diplomatic and remember she could have it looked over 10 times over before giving such a speech or issuing such a statement she could have to some ex said something done something about these atrocities that were carried out cuz it's in her lifetime that she witnessed the world suffering at the hands of the British I mean

every six days I believe it is that a country in the world celebrates its independence from the British Empire I mean just think about that every six days so every week a country and more than almost every week a country is celebrating its independence from what was a a a barbaric rule of tyranny so yeah and I'm not and I get that people say well how far back do reparations go and how far back does uh

apologies go but there could be something in some sense but there wasn't and we saw what happened with Harry and Megan and Harry has this interview I did share it I don't really use Twitter but somebody sent me a Twitter link and it was on there so I shared it retweeted it and it's it's like a mindblowing interview that he gives really you you're it's just shocking that he's just speaking his

reality just nothing but just sheer reality to the camera and he's speaking about the racism the the kind of the the the the catastrophic stress levels that him and Megan were facing the fact that the family people were either making her life a misery making his life a misery to the extent that he felt she would either kill herself or they would kill her and the queen making these statements about the color of you know their children's skin and things like

this and because she's from that era you know you can't forget that she's from that era so and and he mentions in the interview he says that I saw all of this happening with my mother and he says and it's no you know people forget that his he says about his mother that she when she got when she was in a relationship with a person of Kaa that she was driven to her death and he you could see history was about to repeat itself so yeah these are the things that said some observations on the queen I

feel that really she did as far as a being a queen a monarch goes she pulled off an incredible task incredible I mean you see to be the queen or to be the monarch she muted herself and that is next to

Impossible it was you know each and every one of us wants a voice we want to share an opinion even if we don't want to be controversial or political or we want to have an opinion oh well I like that flavored drink oh I think this is beautiful scenery oh I love this movie oh I like that music I people just want to you know this Bayan which we spoke of in last session they want to just Express thems as a person to whoever even if they've just

got three people listening or if they've got the world they want to be heard and and what she did was at the cost of the monarchy she silenced her voice and she did it incredibly well I mean I don't think any Monarch could have pulled it off the way she did she ref you know did not give statements did not give um

did not give ideas opinions likes dislikes occasionally maybe something kind of crept out but no and being one of the most hyper successful or famous hyper famous people throughout the world yet to remain silent for decades not not for days you know if somebody said that just stop going on social media or you can go on social media but you can only just spectate you can't participate you can't like anything you can't comment

and you must do this for not you must you can do this for 10 days you must live in the shadows that would seem like wo and doing that for decades um really in many ways and living a life that if you step out of protocol you would be immediately scrutinized that life to me with that extent of everybody may have some exposure to some scrutiny but to that extent that you can't do

anything it's not worth the jewels and the gold and the wealth and the royalty that it brings with it to me you know as a person to become silenced and just be a monument for the rest of your ex natural existence on this Earth wow but for us you know that's to observe that it's like wow okay this is an interesting observation so yeah those were my thoughts um I've seen some uh Muslims

um I saw this thing you know making uh I think wanting to pray her Gaza or um people holding Friday congregation prayers for her her death and I think you know in all honesty I think the queen would have would have like brought these people back into the common sense if she was given an opportunity I think she would be insulted or she wouldn't be insulted but she would find it absurd I mean maybe she wouldn't say that publicly because

of who she was she did not express opinions but I don't think that's what she was after and I don't think it's really the thing that sure you know people are sentimental and and they have a sentiment and that in its own place is incredibly valuable but it doesn't mean you have to I saw this article saying oh my God we can see the queen this was I think some of the British folk saying could see the queen in the clouds oh my God there's a picture of her

[Laughter] in so people you know this is uh so and there was this person in this Artic this viral photograph where he was doing on behalf of Queen Elizabeth and he's holding up this placard and says you know he's doing om on behalf of uh Elizabeth G so um naturally he got

arrested so I guess that omra never got [Laughter] accepted the heart has a way of its own huh the love the connection so yeah that said um people we should always see in death a reminder and we should not we should avoid um ever being we're humanly possible being uh rude or abusive to a death okay that is not the the way

of Islam or the way of the Prophet sallallahu alaih wasallam Right Moving on um right so we've got some yeah King loves Quran all right so Nora sausage fingers that's of King

Charles now King Charles rather well well people that's the Royal the Legacy a royal fun fact that not Queen Elizabeth II who's just gone but Queen Elizabeth the first uh I'll have you know was the first Monarch on Earth to sit and experience a flush

toilet that's actually a true fact for those of you that don't know that but now you may do with that information what you will that there was uh a he was like a plumber and a I don't know I guess a somebody with a curious mind and his name was actually Thomas Crapper so you know the English word crap actually is dedicated to to his name so Thomas Crapper G he invented the

flush system on the toilet and then obviously the Royal Monarch Queen Elizabeth the first got to test it out and there you go and Queen Elizabeth II got to enjoy all the fruits that came by flushing on the Commonwealth States and bringing in the golden resources right people let's move on I want to speak today about

um I'm sure I brought up let's see I should have some poems here actually so allahar I want to speak about all right the indomitable human Spirits some quranic guidance but also hieroglyphs Triumph and selective Amnesia now why hieroglyphs well because one they it is a great example a great

case study of the indomitable human Spirit to conquer the unconquerable to think the unthinkable to decipher the Apparently indecipherable and also this we on the 14th of September but not in 2022 but in 1822 is when the hieroglyphics were deciphered Allah so what a theme why not

speak a bit about this but I wanted to highlight just a bit of an overview of what went on how did people who were the key people uh sha poon and and others and we're going to look at that but also the selective Amnesia that has taken place uh when it came to hieroglyphics and the Muslim contribution so that's something I want to just share a few words on CLA said uh a week before my birthday well happy birthday in advance and may Allah bless you and many many happy

returns to come right so all right I'm just trying to see what that okay so right taking a look at some poems to freshen right so wow

people the courage of life let's see it let's see what it's about that keep walking my dear for a little while let's see what it's about this is once again the that human spirit that

need wow the the the expression and the metaphor that is brought in here that me that our sleep remains perturbed and Disturbed from last century I guess tying into the whole Colonial thing as well yet our dreams ugly sadik adct yet we see we dream our dreams are nested in the coming century that wow that although what he's saying

is although disturbed by an unnerved or an unnerving past yet in many ways we remain optimistic now one could argue this is also saying delusional but I would like to see it more as being said in an optimistic way

all right so so this is all to cap up the human Spirit here people you got you got to love it people you got to love it

right so e

all right people I don't know what happened there um I take it it's back let me just check in case the there's an issue with can you guys hear me see me let me just check here right

so right it's back yeah okay it's back shukan I have no idea you know it's um all right I don't know I guess it must be the internet I'll have to check with uh the companies huh what they're playing at so right so people let's bring that back to where we

were that that now here he's splitting the is explaining or she's explaining whatever the challenges of life were but almost giving it 5050 that in part the Journey of life was quite long and in part we too were at times lazy

in part we were our own enemies and in part the adversaries we received were quite a few as well so the person's putting it 5050 that in part we forgot at times the destination that said the paths that we found ourselves

upon were also quite difficult Allah Allah it just shows that human Spirit huh could suff be Lata could very

powerful so and this is a classic of that human spirit that [Music] that is just wow you see he says in the end everybody's boats reach the shore because the waves ultimately carry them there n n in

fari and In classical Udu was used to refer to the malah the kind of Sailor or the boatsman they call it n and in Udu poetry there would often be a play on words with the and and because you see in in a way you're almost saying no God and and you've got the N who is the the boatsman and they would contrast relying The Motif the Trope of relying on a boatsman on at his mercy and skill

to salvage the situation and save your life contrast that with relying on God so that those people who don't even have a boatsman and they're in a boat in the you know in the in the middle of the of the sea that that they even if they don't have a boatsman they still have a God just telling people that look no matter what the dire circumstances God will always watch over

you and this is a classic which we've uh gone over many times before by Jer epic epic that just wow it just brings up the entire really r the the human spirit

that that the era the age the world does not have within it what could extinguish us what could annihilate usam that the age the era the world is set by us this is what the poet is saying that ham

ham that the world exists not exists but it is by us this is the the might of the indomitable Spirit one may say delusions of grandeur but why not why not so oh I think I right okay

so I don't know what that question is about right so uh aarati shukran much love for the super uh sticker right now coming to the theme today the indomitable Spirit now a great instantiation of this a just an

epic example that's highlighting and reflecting this Majestic Grandeur in the Quran is with the story of Adam so let's bring that up and uh okay so yeah so that's we we'll be taking a look at from Surah Bak from verse verse

30-33 these these three verses and just trying to see the the just the the the kind of maybe the fresh perspectives that these verses can bring in the mean meaning that they can add to the the meaning that they can add to our daily lives and our connection with

the Quran and by extension our understanding of Islam so now verse 30 you've got and when your lord said to the angels

that I am placing within this Earth aif they said said in what appears to be almost an objection or a criticism towards mankind or humankind do you just place on this Earth a species that will just spread harm and Corruption and by corruption as in just

spreading harm and hurt and they will shed blood whereas we these beings we simply glorify your praise that's what we do and Allah [Music] said that surely I have knowledge of that which you do not

know this is incredibly fascinating because first of all it's discussing the Advent of insan on Earth through Adam now one way of looking at this and this is the amazing thing that every time you look at the Quran with fresh eyes it gives you a fresh perspective that Allah is saying because it was always about the Earth it was always going to be in the

earth and this is the view of many Muslim Scholars as well that this this Garden of Eden or this Garden the J Adam was pH it was something on Earth it's not a Heavenly um entity so and that's also many people are surprised to hear that right so and here you can see it in the verse

that that this is the purpose of Adam and insan that they will be in Earth now what is a Khalifa now what many people have understood is a Khalifa is a deputy or a kind of Steward a caretaker of the earth as though they take care of the Earth on behalf of God and sure that's a way that many people have interpreted this word linguistically Khalifa in Arabic comes from the word to to come behind or after something in

succession that you come after it so there's things before you and you come after them khif now by this perspective Adam was coming after a series of other homins before him from you've got uh astral apus to Homo erectus to homo aasta to homo habis to

homo uh hbes to homo neand nandal to denans to you've got a a whole series of these homins that in many way some more than others look very similar to this insan can't really tell much of a difference I mean sure they might have a subtle brow difference they protrude slightly they otherwise you know what is the difference if somebody sees them they sure you know they don't look that

different so this objection this criticism because the other homins what was special about them I mean they were sure they were special they were intelligent obviously not as intelligent as homoion but intelligent still far more intelligent than primates and chimpanzees and gorillas and um you know and and you can and chimps are pretty intelligent so if you just go on to YouTube and watch um how chimps are taught words how they how they use tools problem solving when they put famous

experiments where they put chimpanzees in a room and there's some bananas hanging but they can't reach them because they can't seem to LEAP high enough but then in the room are two tools and they see that would the chimp make adequate and appropriate use of certain tools and structure it together to to reach and they would and they exceed in that small children so they probably exceed the you know the intell they exceed the intelligence of a two-year-old human being arguably a three-year-old even and so and three-year-old kids are are pretty

intelligent in their own way so so and this is chimpanzees we're talking about Neals who were from the human race so so then you know going to be far more intelligent now yet there was something and the and all these uh homins did was it was a kind of dignified animality if we want to call it dignified or it wasn't really dignified but it was just a a a a higher layer higher strata of an

animal existence they just lived like animals they didn't really um there there was no true sophistication at a cultural sense and so here is Adam who comes at the end but there's nothing you know now you're look looking at Adam looking at Neals looking at and Adam in this understanding is is to be the father of the cognitive Revolution the one who receives Consciousness as we have it and all of

us today are the children of Adam now the next verse Allah says so it says Allah toau Adam the names of things you know and it's been said that

if you can name something you can know it that's a a discussion for another day that when when something rises in human consciousness that we have names for it and even movements and even things that you see once there's a name it becomes a thing like as in I don't just mean a thing as an entity thing but a thing like we make a thing out of it so it's interesting when words don't exist to explain something it's as if people haven't truly caught on to that concept

yet so and you have this difficulty by the way when speaking of certain topics like even today speaking of Consciousness in some languages is is a very difficult concept because it's as though that it's not that they don't have a word but that word hasn't been developed the way consciousness has in English so when you're speaking about it people they they they don't it's like they miss the trees for the wood and it's it

doesn't make quite the same conversation in society so even just looking at uru for example um that speaking of Consciousness or yeah even AR Arabic is catching up with this discussion of Consciousness but it's like well okay how do how does that work you see because when you don't have words for something and it's not that they don't have a word like you could place a word

like um maybe a better one you know in Arabic in U okay maybe you'll go with but then you see it's also like it's an awareness so does it really tap into the co the discussion on Consciousness with a Capital C so you it's like you'll have to explain a whole sentence or a paragraph to ex to say what you're trying to say similarly like the the discussion on ethics now ethics is also a word

that that has now developed and when we translate it it doesn't quite have the same effect because [Music] in people often translate these things as and that's a terrible discussion because you see AK is a loaded term and it's often to do with good character and conduct and if you you see if so for example the the discussion that does e do ethics evolve and change with the day and age now if you translated that to

and said to change with the day and age that sounds horrible because it sounds like you're saying do does character of human beings which is understood to mean good character change so the understanding the the kind of um subliminal the subtext is understood to mean that you're saying does good character should it change and if it's going to change from good what is it going to change to it's going to obviously change to bad because it's already good so it's so

you're lost in translation when you use the word ethics or morals because people sure maybe you could use in Arabic but is then values so and maybe see once again it it taints the discourse because once you say do values change people say well but values are good values and so and especially the of something because it comes in Arabic from something that is worth something and you're saying oh does that change and so it's it's like leaves a so you can see that why it's been said to name something is to know

it so and then here the Quran highight lights this illustrates to us narrativ vises this incident to instantiate this message that the angels are asked can you name these things and they

say that even that we have no knowledge except what you taught us you are the one most knowledgeable most wise now that you see now here Allah is is saying that we said to Adam

that sorry not that tell Express the names of these things when Adam expresses these names that when he expresses them Allah says did I not tell you that I know that which is hidden to the

Heavens to the Earth and to existence I know it and I am aware of that which you that which you manifest and that which you conceal now the interesting thing here what is it that Allah is teaching us ad and in part in other verses Allah mentions that we breathed into Adam from

our spirit this this this R is a r is a synonym for Consciousness Adam received Consciousness and that's in the other verses with this Consciousness we are told that he he comes to learn the names of things and to name something is to know it but it doesn't stop here that's not the the the mesmerizing thing because you see if we if we take it with just that

understanding then the vers is the Angels when they are asked that uh that tell us that um when when Allah says to the angels that look that Express the names of these things they say see now this is a they're saying that well obviously you've not taught us so how do we know and when Allah is saying to Adam

that that so Allah tells Adam you tell them Express this and Adam expresses it you see now let's just you pause this for a moment and and analyze so so here's the thing if Allah is saying to the angels tell me about these things this is the you know Express

these things to me but Begins by saying so Allah teaches Adam the names let's say and then says to the angels you tell me the names of these things they say that but you haven't told us and then Allah says to Adam tell them and then Adam tells them now this is in many ways this is just stating the obvious that's like I say to you well I say to someone look I mean this as an

examples one could say that's like saying well I want you to guess the number that I'm thinking it's between one and a thousand tell me what number I'm thinking and then I say to this person here's the number the number is 256 okay so now I ask this now they haven't got a clue what number I'm thinking sure they could take one random guess overwhelming likelihood is they're going to get it wrong overwhelming likelihood they'll get it wrong probabilities are so far out so and then

I say okay so you got it so let's say to say 728 that's you're not even close Okay you say what number am I thinking and the person says well 256 now there's nothing special in that because I told them I told this person so of course he's going to get it right so you see this this does this verse is not really that's a very that's a very simplistic way of looking at this words this vers is speaking about something much more Majestic than

that you see that would have been understood of course Adam is going to know this if he's taught this what Adam was being given was not just this power of expression to name things and therefore know them but with this newly found consciousness

this information or this knowledge this knowing was less about data and more about a skill set that Adam would be able to put these fundamental blocks together and construct new knowledge and then put that together and construct further new knowledge that you have almost this uh dialectic that you put this together and it gets its um it will have its result which you can then bolt on to something

else and it has its construct result and you continue to do this you construct knowledge you're not just simply reiterating see that's very lowlevel animals can reiterate stuff you can Teach an animal you can teach chimpanzees you can teach crows you can teach a dog you can teach many animals to just simply know something but to construct knowledge

ah that is a reflection of the true human Spirit by knowledge I mean knowhow as well to be able to put things together and then stand on the blocks of that and construct further and keep going until you reach unprecedented unfathomable Heights that we today have reached such Heights that we can look into the cosmos and see as as as it were you know

as though it were in front of us time emanating from its very Inception the big BL right from the cosmos from that what appears to be infinitely impossible to attain we see that right to the infinitesimal into the atom and subatomic structures and understand the reality of the of the fundamental building blocks of

existence we how have we arrived at this except by that Inc conquerable spirit and we have we continue to build on the backs of each other so somebody learns something we convey it the Next Generation they pick up that baton and they convey it and they add to it and they keep conve and people keep fa faing they keep they hit a you know they hit a wall a dead end and they keep on trying they keep on trying they keep on this is

that indomitable spirit this is where Allah is saying that oh this you say oh I see something that just sheds blood and it just spreads Mischief on the earth ah there's something so special about this creature there is a spirit that abides and that lives within this creature that can move

mountains it can it can come to know the unknown and see the Unseen it's amazing that where insan has reached in our times you know just just seeing the stuff how we're getting in real time clearer pictures of the cosmos the new uh James web telescope that we've that was just launched we've got new breakthroughs

in um in physics in chemistry in atomic knowledge in technology in medicine in biology breakthrough in understanding humans as a species in understanding creatures in I mean if you just look at the last few years which we've all witnessed and where hum how humans have leaped that is a testimony to what is being echoed in this verse

of that yeah what you see is this human that isn't perceptibly palpably so great H you know he's not the most fierce of animals on Earth he not the weakest is by no stretch the strongest yeah yeah you know he's got some or defense to them but then again have we a simple chimpanzee one chimpanzee could

destroy a group of men destroy I mean absolutely could if it came to it could rip human arms out that's how people underestimate how powerfully strong chimpanzees are so strong and they one people also often are unaware that a chimpanzee's bite with its jaw can actually crush a bone they often don't exercise their full strength when fighting with the in group you know with members of the same tribe but when they fight members of the other tribe it's ridiculous what they'll do they they

will wreak havoc on them and that's a chimp which when people look at chimp oh yeah chimpanze is so cute so humans when you look at us yeah but within us and in many ways this is why the spirit the r the Consciousness within us in the Quran it's been metaphorically associated with God that when Allah says we breathed our into

ad that's it's metaphor but it's to show the the the just the the mindblowing power the Majesty the sanctity the charm of this Spirit Allah that each and every one of us has flowing thriving right within

us and these Spirits these Souls these AR are connected with one another there is this kind of connect yeah so when we look at sometimes you know there's a a famous saying that you you don't look at that when faced with difficulties or challenges it's not the the size of the person that you see this giant of a man or you know this

strong sure you could but you could see somebody perceptibly palpably weak small scrawny you could see that it's been said that don't look at the the man in the fight but the fight in the man it's been said about the dog as well I know but the the point is that what is it that makes it different bodies but in fact a stronger body here a weaker body there Victor Frankle wrote about that it wasn't the it wasn't the survivors of the

Holocaust weren't the most strongest and healthiest and most muscular the most those who were not killed off but survived right through because many people their death sure it was by by being killed but those who weren't that that they died their own death often died by the death of their spirit that Victor Frankl explains that it's that that this whole message that if a person has a big

enough uh a big enough why to survive that they can almost survive anyhow that comes their way and what is that what is it that gave the people this it's the spirit within us it is the r the kind of almost this metaphoric electricity within us that keeps us alive that keeps us thriving it's not should not be mistaken with the simple Flesh and Bones that we

are and carry these may be weak but the spirit the soul Allah said that that this this is the indomitable spirit that each and every one of us carries within us and I feel that this verse These verses from 30 to 33 inah

Bak with Adam arriving this this whole this scene being set that they on Earth will now be a different species that will they will be something so spectacular that it's unimaginable it is Paving the way for insan Adam and then his offspring all of us till this very date I mean if you think about it that even that's not so common sense that if you go around the globe and everybody looking so different

from you know you could go from Far Eastern China to subsaharan Africa to Northern Europe to you you could go right the the the the diversity it's not obvious necessarily that we are all related I'm saying historically for people to assume that we were all from one orig and yet this is what scripture had

taught that you are that from one origin so yeah that's a reminder and may yeah may may Allah enable us to always find inspiration in the verses of the Quran and to allow these to add meaning to our daily lives am mean so I want to share that with you guys so shukran uh right let's I'll take a look at some of your comments and move on to uh naming as

in uh labeling categorizing I think sure but it's much bigger than that um Adam is a myth based on the Babylonian suian myth of the first human the adamu if you believe so but obviously to us we don't believe that we know that there is a you see right okay so there is a uh chromosomal Adam scientifically that there was a point where Homo sapiens became Homo sapiens the first

person that did that he is referred to as you know for the Y Rome that was Adam I mean they just call him Adam in science but there was that one person that began it it is true that we today this is not a myth we today all the humans on Earth Trace our origin back to a single man all of us on Earth today that is not a myth that's science so you know has this fallen so far from the you know that you

claim another another understanding that human consciousness within Homo sapiens began with an individual it began somewhere did it not it began with someone everybody accepts that science accepts it anthropology accepts it we say that one that person that that we're the first human cognitive Revolution which is called the human cognitive Revolution the first human to have for

whatever reason people would say that Consciousness clicked the way it did we say that was Adam and we are all his offspring why is that a myth sure I mean if you want to think it's a myth but why that that's no different to what the scien is shown what the data shows what anthropology understands even if you want to call him Man X he was a man was he not let's in this case that's how the white chromosome comes that's how we became a new species it be it began with one

man you know this uh in what movies it where there a quote a dialogue with the guy he says that's I think uh is it called div or it's and I think is it where he

says so that's the thing so so I'm afraid You Is Wrong my friend You Is Wrong um all right so were brainy Homo sapiens any better than the various types of creation previously at the end Homo sapiens are spectacularly greater I mean we are Homo sapiens you don't see Denise ofan thriving or you don't

see hiyal bees or nandal or homohabilis or astral opius or homo gasta or you don't see any of them florenes I mean there's there's us and we have reached unfathomable Heights and contined to do so I mean we're embarking on multiplanetary EX residence and existence now that's like whoa okay I think the human the indomitable Spirit of insan speaks for

itself um right okay um I saw a Saudi Arabian um no these things are not factual you know where people people claim to have things from Adam and they claim that Adam Alam was somehow 60 cubic feet measurement tall and all of the this stuff there's there's no evidence for this and even people like hajar and other people when commenting on this Hadith say that these kind of Hadith are just from the ISAT most likely and they're not authentic kind of

teachings of Islam um and there's nothing to show that because the evidence doesn't show anything like that okay um what's the question uh don't think YouTube likes the formatting Allah Allah every night is the new night and mu is it o o

this is the thing this is Allah bless you Allah bless you no I you know I just did this today it's not Thursday is not the new night it is still Wednesday midweek but I couldn't make the show yesterday and I thought why not sometimes it's as simple as that the question is why and the answer is why [Laughter] not somebody once responded to a philosophical question a question on philosophy like that the simple question was with philosophy students it

was why just just why question mark why not arguably you see one could extrapolate so much from the why you know the the inquisitive the existential the logical but equally one could extrapolate from the why not heiger Sledgehammer that you know all of these things one could extrapolate

so uh I mean shukran much love for the Super Chat may Allah bless you any advice for young Muslims who want to take the dean seriously often times they get easily fooled by the wahhabi movement right I would say look firstly I would say that if you want to take the dean seriously you must learn you must learn

Arabic and you must learn familiarize yourself with the subject matter the content of Islam don't worry one step at a time you don't need a a grand plan in place you don't need a kind of majestic strategy or something so detailed analysis step by step of don't worry just as Malana jalaludin AR said that you know just take a step and the path will appear you just begin with Arabic you get it out

the way meanwhile you start learning the basics you can learn a bit about you can learn a bit about you learn and things as you keep going the step you will see the Horizon more clearly you will then know what to learn I don't even need to tell you you will start to know see it comes back to that thing you will start to construct the knowledge for yourself so but Arabic to begin with is a necessity so that is something which is a must the other thing I would say

is this may be difficult for you to realize and make as in make a reality at that time but go easy on yourself go easy I would just say full stop not just even on yourself but just go easy that that this de is one of ease that go easy you will there's a great likelihood may not there's a likelihood you will live to regret much of the attitude

and you know many of the the things your conduct and your what will will be perhaps later in life read as Misfortune during this period of zeal and energy that you have for Islam because during that early stage people they they fall into puritanism they fall into this scrupulosity uh they isolate themselves from people they burn Bridges with people they sometimes do irreparable

damage that they can't come back from So and I've seen it I've seen it just today I was speaking you know with uh a patreon and we were speaking about this in our onetoone session that because it's just there's so much damage that people do alhamdulillah in in these cases it wasn't irreparable but it was still often shameful and embarrassing and still like oh my God I said ah don't worry it happens to the best of us uh but you know it's a bit like measles that the later it comes

in life the worse it is these things you want them over and done with at a younger age so ah so people could just ignore you as the ah the folies of Youth and and before you know you get over that phase and you you get more real all right so shukran and may Allah make it easy honestly for um for each and all a lot of people are really um you know

people I was just seeing the comments people it is amazing to see the passion that they do bring the Zeal and the energy and yeah and the love that they have for the it's something it's amazing you know it's something so pure and but sometimes these things are misplaced that this energy this love is misplaced and it just results sometimes in just yeah just um unfruitful time being

misspent but yeah yes right guys speaking of about the this the spirit of um of insan the indomitable Spirit to which refuses to give in looking at the Wonders around us in the world Allah teaches us in the Quran

that why don't you travel about the Earth and see things about [Music] you that why don't you take ibra take heed take lessons build on the knowledge the information the culture of those who went before you sure don't take from their wrongdoings their aggressions their transgressions their arrogance the oppression and tyranny don't take

those things but look at all the wonderful things that they had Allah and here I want to share some words on the hieroglyphs Allah because this was something that really mesmerized

Humanity for centuries centuries that you had this really breathtaking civilization that built things that were just palpably superhuman they just appeared superum I mean just looking at the pyramids looking and the pyramids didn't look like how they um look today they were they were covered in Limestone and they you know they would have been this glistening bright marble like white structure all this was robbed during the

you know the race to steal Antiquities should we say so it was a breathtaking civilization built with such precision it doesn't and aligned with the celestial bodies in a way that as um Hermes uh had said that as above so below you know as above in the heavens so we find below that there is a Harmon and gram hanock has a lot of work some

amazing stuff on this that's just on the general I'm not aware of the hieroglyph stuff but just on the whole civilization and wonders so this writing that was the the hieroglyphs it has just mesmerized people for centuries on end and people just couldn't seem to understand that what it was about and this was so and this code was eventually cracked

okay but before for centuries people first thought that these are just some um religious symbols that they may be part of an occult so as in to maybe evoke spirits and people were etching strange figurine like symbols to to kind of have some ritual to it that they didn't actually have it wasn't a language it was just symbolic of it was like ritualistic so many people thought this

for centuries but eventually this code is cracked and who cracks the code so these people we commonly are familiar with you have Jean Francois uh Francois shamp poon now cholon who is from France and slightly his senior from England Thomas Young so these are the names that you see um rushing or brought to the Forefront on cracking and deciphering this code so that is in the early 19th century okay

so the 18 uh Thomas Young first as we're going to see and then building on that uh cholon also and finally just cracking the code and then releasing his encyclopedia two years later so he cracks it in 1822 um which and on the 14th of September so that was that really made this whole session much more relevant to do as well so okay now you also get with this some other names as well that people so it's

it's good to know so you'll have sylvestra deasi Sassi is also an egyptologist there was a huge craze by the way at this time for egyptology for orientalism especially egyptology and um these are some of the people they they were heavily invested they had studied uh the Middle Eastern languages many of them knew Arabic they knew Coptic they knew um surrounding kind of languages they spoke many European languages they were you you they were like incredibly curious academics and researchers of the time so

sylvestra the Sassi is an orientalist he's a teacher of cholon and also um a teacher as well to Thomas Young amongst many others as well you have this name as well that does emerge William J Banks who's um and and I'll tell you how this fits in in a moment but I'm just introducing some of these uh he's an um a wealthy uh Aristocrat who sets off at that time as well plays a role and I'll come to that and then also Jean Nicolas huol who also plays uh an interesting

role okay so okay so that's just some of the names and it's a fascinating story but okay so what we're going to do is pause this and just understand what was going on in general and then we'll just come back to this so the Europeans had been so fascinated just as many of the people had but um nobody could understand what on Earth are these things about but they seem to be so wow all striking breathtaking so around the time of the French

Revolution and the getting rid of King Louie the 16th so it's around that time that Napoleon he rises through the the ranks and he becomes the the kind of general that leads uh France really especially from a military perspective with his conquest and brings back this glory to France but this is now the new Republic of France so it's you know it's not this monarchy with it's not meant to be this kind of old regime of tyranny and backwards thinking so uh Napoleon

bonapart he has his uh Expeditions through Europe and different places but part of somewhere where he wants to go is Egypt because of the of the sea roots and the and and the canals and things like this and obviously he' heard of Egypt as well and everybody had and you know this whole mystique and the potential treasures and stuff there but when he goes there he doesn't just go on his own he takes a because he he wants to present to the world that he's this new breath of fresh air for the world Francis this leading the world in culture he takes with him approximately

150 researchers and academics and um thinkers scientists that kind of a research group cohort and he actually sets establishes a research center in Ciro so this is Napoleon now during this time people are the stealing these an uh these Antiques and the Antiquities and the breaking into them and there's this huge massive Obsession that has swept uh several parts of Europe for egyptology they want to understand and people are writing about it there's journals but we we

pause that for a moment what was the backdrop that had in the past prior to this spoken or taught us about these things so one Theory or common um belief is that these hieroglyphs were symbols that they were ideographs that represented Concepts and ideas now the the Byzantine Christian encyclopedia in the 10th Century

arguably or not arguably it purports to make a claim that there was you have a a person by the name of harop poo from the fifth century who was an Egyptian uh of the Egyptian ancient tradition Pagan kind of tradition who was an expert in um hieroglyphics and he could read them and he's eventually persecuted and he becomes a Christian in the end uh allegedly and he writes this book okay so he has this treaties uh of

of the hieroglyphs which is then 500 years later transmitted in the Byzantine encyclopedia and harop poo who the Europeans were giving much Credence to his things through the Byzantine uh encyclopedia which is called the suda uh and wherever they could find this this uh purported text uh I think it was called the hieroglyph or something something but it was of horolo they were giving this much preference a lot of and he was saying allegedly because this is obviously wrong but he was saying that these are ideographs that each one of these

symbols represents an idea so this is what the Europeans were going with now there was a belief at the time so you have certain researchers ker and others who leading up to this whole um this Spirit of egyptology having erupted leading up to that had alleged and theorized that ancient egyp Egyptian was related to later Coptic so Coptic the Coptic language they

hypothesized was related to the ancient fonic kind of speak and the ancient Egyptian now this was a theory there was no way to prove it some people cure and other people had argued this uh hypothesized this so you get several people taking an interest in Coptic as well and that's something you're going to find that uh um Thomas Young does a bit but actually cholon he immerses himself into Coptic and he studies it extensively and he studies Arabic as

well but Coptic which was you know very difficult to um because you didn't get many people so cholon mentions that he would often speak to himself in Coptic that he would force himself to think in Coptic whil in France and he would always in a enclosed room talk to himself in Coptic until he made it second nature for him because who would you speak to him because Coptic isn't one it's not it's definitely Arabic you could still find other orientalists that spoke Arabic in

Europe you could hardly find very few people had knowledge of Coptic so he this was something he did um immerse himself in so there was this thing that maybe there was some connection okay that this had that these people spoke a similar language so okay you've got that going on now right okay so let's pause for a moment this is stuff that we all do know about okay and we are we are taught

these things we are told about them um but there's something we're often not told about and this is something I wanted to share with us and that is that we not taught about the Muslim contribution to hieroglyphics being deciphered now I want to introduce to you uh an amazing legendary personality from Islam his name was abak Ahmed Ali

he was from Iraq he lived during the 900s to you've got just over the Thousand so the third fourth Century Islamic century and you've got the 10th and 11th century of the Common Era he was uh he lived clo he was born near to kufa and he grew up there he he claimed he was of naban kind of origin as in he had some lineage going back I mean this he Affiliates himself to an niip but he was was an incredible

polymar a scholar of Islam that was the basic everybody in that day and age that went on to any Higher Learning was a scholar of Islam that studied all the the understandings of Hadith Quran L all that kind of stuff he'd gone on to study he was an alchemist which is a kind of nent Proto uh chemistry if you like was an expert in that a historian but also a um a a linguist and a philologist somebody who was studying language and

especially um written texts so he was interested in ancient languages that had died out um he he authors a book known as must um and I'll bring that up in a moment where he speaks of at least 89 civilizations that no longer exist in his days that had a written script including the indis valley he also cites in there about the Kurdish people and their alphabet which no longer existed in his time but he he writes that they had this now he

mentions the hieroglyphics in his book uh um I'll bring up the the full title it we we have the thing here so and he also by the way has he had several other books as well he has a book known as that naban agriculture which he speaks about was uh was inherited by our civilizations that came after and he writes all about this and how to

optimize and so he's speaking about agriculture he's speaking about ancient civilizations and especially his passion on languages written languages that have now died out so I'll enlarge this and you can see that there this is actually in a museum showing um his Works in his uh now he does highlight previously that the hieroglyphs they are ideographic but they are also phonetic that's some of them do represent letters

he actually puts this in his book that's it so he uses the word to mean a writing system so and this was his book which um you can see there you've got certain pages from it and the other one which is to do with um the naan agriculture so this is almost 800 years before champon and you can see here from his book there's certain codes um you can see that he's he's highlighting here

you've got from he's speaking about he's got his rules uh the God says uh which he's speaking about and different things and you can see some of these um do represent ideographs and some of them uh are phonetic and you'll see that for examp example here this is from his book you can see some of these symbols that he's got there if you go through them uh like for God Allah he's got on the top um from the left hand page top right hand side coming down you've got a bunch of uh different

things a separation to the planets you've got if you can see the um which is the second one up z um those of you that know what Z is z is Saturn and mus which is um Jupiter is Mars and then Shams obviously the Sun and you've got Shams and and he goes on and different kind of but you can see here there's some that are just phonetic he's just got letters next to them like you can see on the other page there's there's a a uh you know it's just got

certain letters and and you also includes Persian kind of you could see a p there okay so that was the legend uh and we're going to come back to him but let's pause that for a moment so that's who he was somebody who spent his whole life deciphering what he could he didn't crack the entire code but he was very well uh he also part one of the languages that he does write about is demotic so hieroglyphs were what you see on the pyramids but you do have a kind

of uh shorthand cursive script that the priests used which was very ritualistic and just for the priest class which was known as hieratics and then there was one that later the public started to use the common people which became known as demotic and demotic is from hieroglyphics but it's like a it's like saying a cursive script like almost like saying how you have capital letters and how you can join letters in that kind of way how you have hieroglyphs and you can kind of join them so you can write with much more speed for the common people

was demotic demotic is something that once again I does speak about quite a bit in his book so he puts all of this 800 years the better part of a millennium better part of a thousand years way before sh poon or Thomas Young or Desi or any of these people arrive on the scene okay and this is something that it's such a shame that it's so forgotten and even Muslims we you know

you can go to museums dedicated to Thomas Young For example you can go to you know where he lived and where these people did things and where these and okay fair enough they were much closer to us so it's easier I get that but you surely a person could try to create certain things an awareness that wow that this is something because why did IIA do this why he he didn't become rich doing this he didn't the many of the egyptologists and the in the race for Antiquity were stealing ridiculous amount of gold were

stealing a lot of Antiquities they were making money they were doing it for a passion as well that is true and it did become an obsession and a passion but people were also getting rich he wasn't getting he wasn't getting rich with any of this he was it was a sheer passion and unbridled Zeal to learn what the people before him had had taught and expressed in this

world and he did it with no Bridge you see that those civilizations had gone before him thousands of years before but that was the indomitable spirit that he possessed Allah now let's put that there for a moment let's come back to the story so how does this code get cracked I mean people for centuries and were trying and they'd given up you know they just hitting their head against a wall can't get anywhere with it they think what harop

poo had said these symbols how can you understand symbols so the first as as we' mentioned earlier what RI had said when you take a step the path appears so it is true that people did have a passion they had a curiosity and the first major clue or assistance comes to them during that journey of Napoleon so let's go back to that so Napoleon in the

late 1700s he has gone off on these Expeditions he's come to Egypt he's brought his armies they're trying to set up the you know with these kind of seab bases and whilst he's doing that he's bought researchers he's set up a research academic center uh in Cairo now in the year 1799 whilst they are consolidating a fort uh a fortress they they're trying to reset it up and use that as a military Fortress as well in a small

town known as Rashid right in the north of Egypt one of the workers uncovers whilst digging up they they're using they finding a lot of stone that has been used for ancient buildings or old settlements near the Nile the Delta and they are removing those Excavating them and using them to consolidate this Fortress that they're building this military Fortress thing one of the workers comes upon across this Stone which is quite strange because it has this writing on it but that's nothing strange I mean there's

writing on many stones that they found but this had writing in three different sections see on the picture on the right um there's an example and there's lines drawing drawn through it now the top now this person thought this was strange so he he brings this to Napoleon's attention who then has it sent to his research center and it appears that the top third so it's in 3/3 the top third is in hieroglyphs the second third which nobody understands is in demotic which once again nobody understands the bottom is in ancient

Greek now this is interesting because and you can see on the picture on the left you've got in the first starting from the left hand side a small picture of the entire Stone but then you've got extracts in the three this is just for an example you've got the hieroglyphics uh you youve got the hieroglyphs you've got in the middle the demotic speech and uh language and then you've got ancient Greek now the Europeans could understand Greek especially the academics and they their knowledge of Latin and Greek was enough to decipher and to be able to read sorry not decipher read the classical

Greek now it turns out this was a this writing this was something from the time the reign of Tommy the fifth who was a king which were the Pharaohs from the the much later kingdoms the toic kind of Kingdom who had some treaty going on and he had this written and at the time he hadd written obviously was much larger in these three languages so the Assumption was whatever the Greek thing is saying because it's mentioning to's agreement with the with with the other uh dynasts and the settlements the understanding the

assumption is this is what the demotic and the hieroglyph must also read so straight away people started copying it they started uh artistic Impressions making casts of it sending it back to um Europe and people are trying to figure this out and they can't they're kind of banging their head against a wall uh you know they've have some knowhow sometimes of certain words nothing it doesn't seem to be making any sense because how do you e where do you even start because yes first of all okay you've got these but

they're not perfect in shape so there's many for example in the hieroglyphs that are missing that are not in because the Stone's broken and it's not a word for word translation and you don't even know which way it starts to it start left to right right to left up down how does it start we don't even know so how do you how do you this is it's an insurmountable task it's impossible almost but here it comes back to that human Spirit you see so they didn't give up though they didn't give up

now so and this and this was as you could see and by the way this m this Stone it is the stone Rashid or ra de Rosetta which became known as Rosetta Stone Rosetta is Rashid in Arabic because it was from the med Rashid which you can see there in that northern part of Egypt and that was the center that Napoleon had set up for research in Cairo

now right so okay but how do we get a breakthrough in this so well the Breakthrough comes that some thinkers of the time and egyptologists and and you had some you had another name by um uh akar blad who and and some other people who were of the opinion they thought that it's

likely you see because some of them knew Chinese now they based in Chinese has ideographs as you know in its writing so they said figured that in Chinese when they write the names of foreigners or Kings the sorry foreigners especially they use the terms phonetically so this idea started to spread that the names of Kings or foreign names may be used phonetically but other things would otherwise be all

um symbolic and sorry ideographic so there would be Concepts and ideas as pictures now so this idea is floating now what happens is Thomas Young the English um a research and he also Thomas Young also has works on things like light and and the you know the the wave uh of light in physics and and he has something on the eye as well so he he he's a bit of a polymar as well

now he figures out that okay he thinks if that's the case he had seen and and other people had seen as well that there were certain images in the hieroglyphs that were drawn inside what they became what they came to call them as cartouches which was this kind of oval rectangle uh rectangular shape now as you can see there in some of these images in the top right hand corner you can see that there's a this kind of oval rectangular shape within it it's got some images so

Thomas Young thought wait a minute that only appears as a oneoff if this theory that names of Kings or foreign people uh could be fonetic then maybe that's a name of a king or a God that's in this cartouch in this shape so what he does is he scans the whole Greek thing and in it he finds the name of Tommy so he takes a look at the cartoon where he finds in the hieroglyphs and he

comes to assume that this must mean Tommy and he starts to separate as you can see in this the the different uh pictures in so you can see in the right hand side there where you've got a picture of the bird and you've got some symbol first and and he gets it more or less right he's not entirely right but he gets it more or less right and he says well this must be fonetic so the first must stand for a p then it must be a t then it must be so tus they come out with this tmus uh and he puts that out now this is

amazing it's the first step of a breakthrough Thomas Young has done this but he does this quite um you know it's into the 1800s I think it may be something uh so it's in the early 1800s but once he does this he's stuck because okay that is tus which is Tommy but or pmus let's say as it's spelled out in in with the p and but how do you read the rest of the script what do you do with that and he tries and nothing is coming up he's trying to think can't come up with

anything he's stuck right so now champon what he does is he takes that Knowledge from Thomas Young takes this now this has become a breakthrough wow and everybody they're super Keen they they can't get enough of Egyptian egyptologist research it's like crack cocaine to them and they are junkies so what he does is he starts to look at at other things because they they've got no other idea so whilst this is

happening pause that you've got a um you've got this Rich Aristocrat William Banks who is decides to go around the world and you know do what I guess that class of people did and he wants to go to Egypt because that's where the craze is and he goes there and he takes a team and they're thinking well maybe we could take Antiquities back and we could do stuff and and they come across the Temple of Abu simul which is in Aswan now at the time they don't know which Pharaoh built the temple but you've got these two big things which is

actually the Temple of ramsis but at the time they don't know this so when they're there he has uh his kind of team copy out these inscriptions and these hieroglyphs and one of the men working for him is huyo who copies out this cartouch that you can see here on the left hand side top left hand side and he sends it back to cholon now cholon receives this and he's trying to he's taking a look at this image in this top left hand side cartouch and he knows right so this is

interesting he they figured out from tus they figured out the S the SS sign that you have right at the end in the bottom of the coui you've got this double um this kind of like a like a stick figure which is the S kind of sound now he sees in the beginning of the cou this kind of sun symbol now here uh choon's knowledge of Coptic helps him because he thinks well in Coptic they

call the sun rare and Coptic they believed was related to ancient Egyptian so he says something's missing what could it be here he leaps to his understanding that rsis because they knew of the name of rames from the Bible they heard of remes and he can't believe yes he's got it but this is not they have cracked the code yet you see so they're he's like

wow i' I can't believe I've got Remis whoa this is I can't get enough so during this time he's now obsessed that let me try to find other cartouches so at this time you also had the Obelisk with certain writings from it copied and the obelisks were actually taken and given and one of them ends up in um in Europe it's sent here so from you from these emerge these new cartouches that you have these kind of oval rectangular uh inscriptions with the

Pharaoh name so now they figured out that the names of the kings are in this and they are being spelled phonetically okay fine so you've got tmus and you've got now ramsus and he's figured out that this middle inscription must be an M which wasn't exactly the case but it was close it was like an m and an S combined sound that the Egyptians had but he was Clos because Ramses was correct now cholon is sent this final he sent this cou that you can see at the bottom now this is this is where the final

mystery is unraveled now here the bird that you can see on the left hand side is an Ibis now that bird it was known represented to okay the Egyptian uh godhead or the Egyptian the Egyptian godhead but also you know the famous uh as we'll come to Pharaoh but but the godhead Ibis represented Toth okay now he had the m and he had the

double s as you can see there so to Moses and of course he'd heard of Toth Moses as a pharaoh they'd heard of so so there were certain obviously names of pharaohs that had come down through other Traditions as well through Greek letters through other things and and these people were obsessed about anything all anything and all things Egypt so to mosis so whilst shamp poon is saying to Moses to Moses to the god Moses he realizes that

Moses actually sounds very similar to the Coptic word Mis which means to be born and in that moment he has the Epiphany that wait a minute these are not phonetics these are giving rise to words that Toth is born ra Ram raah the god Rah is born rames to Moses he realized damn these are words

they're not just phonetic for Kings these spell out words and he rushes into the room with his brother and he says I've got it and he faints with that and he and it was on this date 14th of September in 1822 that he finally cracks that code and then when he does wake up from being unconscious after almost a week what he does is he starts going through all the demotic and starting to look out for words that now sound

similar to Coptic because he was very fluent in Coptic and this is where and he starts to put together uh these different hieroglyphs and within the next two years he rece he releases an encyclopedia of hieroglyphs but something interesting here because the whole story hasn't quite finished is champon refuses to give any credit to Thomas Young even though Thomas Young's first breakthrough is what led to his breakthrough but he refuses to acknowledge and desas had who was the

teacher of both of them had a Fallout with cholon and he had actually told and this is still in you can find this that he had told Thomas Young that you have to beware of cholon because he will take your research from you and never credit you for it he will always attribute it to himself so his own teacher deasi was saying this although later on they do have a patch up but um this was something very well known and it does happen so when cholon releases his thing his writing in 1822 announcing this he

gives zero credit to uh Thomas Young so what Thomas Young does in the following year is releases an article and circulates it in which he says that this was my finding in how he he titles it in how he cracked the first step of the code which was then and he writes in the title which was then later expanded by Jean franois cholon so he puts that in his title that hey I was the first person I know he's not going to give me any credit so okay why is that important well here comes the final

piece you see that is important because ladies and gentlemen I'll have you know that in 1806 Joseph Hammer a man by the name an egyptologist and a European uh researcher and academic had translated in 1806 into English The Works of none other thanak his

book which spoke on the hieroglyphs and spoke on them being symbolic being uh ideographic ideographs but also phonetic was translated to English by Joseph hammer in 1806 when all of this research was going on now champon it is almost imp very difficult almost impossible to believe that somebody who was reading up on every single Le thing that was related to Egypt did not come

across this in 1806 or 1807 or 1808 or 1810 the fact that he did not come across this book is incredibly unlikely he most certainly most certainly did come across this book and it did feed into his what became his ultimate breakthrough because it's just too conveniently replaced that sure because it got translated into English and then later on it would have got into French as well and it would have circulated and got out and definitely within a decade within a

decade easily but shampon was not one to credit people he did not even credit his contemporary uh Thomas Young he did not even credit his own teacher deasi let alone crediting a Muslim from 800 years ago that was never going to happen but it just goes to show that this journey that as a collective humans undertook to decipher the

indecipherable to crack this next to Impossible Cold Yet that flame stayed alive within the heart and eventually on what would have been now yesterday we're talking 200 years ago on that very day the Cod was finally cracked which was a an accomplishment for humans as a whole this journey of ours this indomitable spirit and that much of this journey or

at least a an undeniable portion of that success finds itself nested and anchored in with a man 800 years before from Iraq a great Muslim scholar who contributed in our understanding today allahar honestly that is something it is just so wow and I really wish and I want everybody to celebrate that as well like learn if you do learn about it learn

about and these these this is it's all I mean everything it's all part of our Legacy a human Legacy whether it's champon or Thomas young but also who'd beat them hundreds and hundreds of years before I mean wow what a what a dawn what a dawn I really wanted to share that with you guys I hope it's been of some help so shukran right

um all right so guys um right now somebody said What stopped the The Passion of curiosity for that Muslim Scholars once had yes a fascinating uh and very important question I feel it was um it was definitely I mean that there's there's going to be

a um you know multiple factors okay um you know there's that PO where he says there's a it's a bit like that that you know he says it's in part the people of the Town were tyrants and in part I too also had a death wish so it's I think Muslims in part there's there's always some responsibility that people would would have to be you know choices

that were not as wise no longer investing in certain cultural elements no longer sparking that Curiosity you know allowing that to die a death not keeping up to date with the new technological revolutions falling into bickering and um you know just politics that was uh just wretched politics naturally but also on the other hand the global economy had shifted with the with the Americas and um you know ex astronomical amounts of gold and silver

being brought back into Europe and Europe taking upon themselves this Renaissance which by the way was was lit by the Muslim torch because of andalus which brought that Enlightenment to them and they used it to clear away the Cobbs of their own Superstition which took them hundreds and hundreds of years but it did eventually do that for them and with the money and the new Enlightenment came the Industrial Revolution and that alongside that also was the

tyrannic um oppressive colonialism of the world where they just went around and just raped the resources of these other countries and you know one of the things there um what's his his name Tak what's his name takur uh ah the famous but there's a clip of his I'll share it on my story Instagram story but where he's speaking about this whole thing of colonialism and and and he and he says that you can't I mean he's saying look we're not bitter about it it is what it is and it was what it was but he says that Indians are a forgiving and forgetting people but he says that they

should forgive but not forget and it's interesting that in all English schools not a single sentence of colonial history is taught but why not because this was real and he says it's undeniable that the British came to a country that was one of the richest countries in the world at that time it contributed to I believe a third of global or near a third of global economy was India and by the time they left it it was one of the poorest countries on Earth how can that I mean the queens that the crown the kohenur as NAD sha I believe or tamur sorry no who is it NAD

sha or tamur who named it kohin but I think NAD sha and so which is in her crown and it's not about this isn't about giving back or taking back but sure but the point is that it's an undeniable fact that the country was taken from its Heights and brought down impoverished to the ground raised to the ground and then that wealth was used to build the new Empire or to fund the Empire and to really so yeah these things so colonialism was

definitely um a an undeniable factor in in the stagnation or whether we want to say demise of that Muslim intellectual curiosity because when you're just being killed you haven't got time to philosophize you know when when you're worried about how will your children eat their food you haven't got time to worry about I wonder whe the you know why Venus is in retrograde rotations or why you know you you you don't you're more

concerned about survival Marlo's hierarchy of needs so yeah um right should I you know what I'll share should I take on a one guest uh let's see what time is it right uh uh actually it is quite um let's go on let's share one clip sorry one link Omar Sultan much love sham for the Super Chat oh that's it

Shashi uh that's it uh that's it Shashi Shashi is who I'm talking about that's the one sorry I got his name all messed up um okay there I've shared the link and yeah but this isn't you see I'm not I think sometimes what happens is Muslims can become and this happens with other people as well but you see it unfortunately with certain Muslims they can fall into a victimhood

mentality listen to me if given the choice always adopt the mindset of the victor always choose Victor over victim always see the positivity see the light don't don't dwell on the darkness you know it is it is what it is but you have to you know some people get caught oh my God you know we were in a golden age we were like this we were like this we were like this you know first of all you were not anything okay you know as the poet it

says you know that there no point um you know that person you know he's not worth anything who if you he boasts about the those who is this ancestral Legacy but if you ask him okay sure sure they were you know um they were great people uh that they were Legends okay but what about you what are you then he hangs his head in shame

that as said those were your forefathers but what are you you know what are you waiting for like you just like sure they were even if they were your ancestors but what are you so that's the um always Embrace a positivity okay these things are always for lessons and to find inspiration that so you can from

these stories and from history you can take can take heed it can these things can motivate you to once again get going yourself okay that yeah life is tough man it is it it can be difficult but it can be sweet and beautiful and you know it can be whatever you you see we can't change world events we can't change history but what we can do is we can't change the p past but what we can do is change how we look at

things change our perspective you know that there's a poem that that what is that is that actor actually I forgotten his name but he says in the poem you if you change the direction this Hindi word for direction he says you change the word uh sorry change the direction that you know that so in the thing he he has

that that if you change the direction then the coast or the shore that you're going to change is so yeah um I did share that M you are underrated hi hi hi should be a common face of Islam in the west let's just be ourselves for now let's just be ourselves

rest um is there right uh some of these are detailed question mu is there Mind Trap tomorrow uh um there isn't one tomorrow but I'm hoping I may get one in on Sunday night okay inallah that should be interesting uh this one more about a um our guest's journey to Islam you know the hurdles that lay in the way to Islam his journey through

Islam his his nourishment of the Soul with psychedelics um how that has reinforced faith and and yeah just discussions around that what could be greater than that huh DMT in the soul Allah Allah this is the path I'm telling you people these psychedelics this path of consciousness it is the portal to God in our day and

age Allah and it is is very Advanced an advanced healing for both the soul and the physical existence here but it's an intense and overwhelming healing but it is an healing of unparalleled kinds so yeah so I look forward to to that uh mushrooms to the soul

yeah of course uh Mind Trap with some yeah look I'm more than open to and more than welcoming for mind traps with different people if you have just my criteria is simple um two things that they are interesting and they are interested so that they are interesting in what they have to speak about or whatever their research is or area of interest and that they are interested in participating so if that works that's

that's excellent really you just need um just need those two things really right I think this we'll have to cover another day that umad califate versus Abbasid califate who did more for Islam it's very fascinating um naturally the Golden Age of Islam is seen with the Abbasid I guess the more intellectual golden age is seen with the Abbasid whole the whole hikma and movement and I think that's undeniable but the expansion of Islam really finds itself in the Dynasty and

so you know we're not when you look at how far Islam spread within the first 100 Years of Islam and you look at the world map today you know it's or even let's say you go during the Oma bani Oma time and so even if we're looking at 120 130 years of Islam and so this first 120 odd years and you look at the world map today I mean obvously Muslims are far more today you I don't just mean in number and reproduction but in kind of geographical um

expression so that's true but when you look at it a substantial amount it's not that similar given there's 1300 years to come after that but in the first 100 years they they they cover pretty much all of the Middle East and you know most of the definitely okay not the Byzantine part as in that part of turkey but the surrounding parts and Middle East and Iraq Iran that kind of thing going further they'd reached syn which is modern day Pakistan um there had been some contact

with uh other parts of India um daul and other places and they had uh North Africa what was Muslim the Iberian Peninsula Spain which okay isn't part now but that was Muslim the Bic islands and so you've got a certain amount that is already like wow okay that's you just talk in the first century of Islam so I think yeah people are quick to judge bani umya because of the atrocities but they unquestionably

you can't you know credit where credit is due and people can be an amalgamation of good and bad you know they don't have to be sheer evil incarnate they they can be messed up but they can also be you know do Great accomplishments as well so it is true that they did have a you know they did have this about them this they that yeah so but we can speak on that in another day mushrooms to the

soul you know uh I've spoken of this before I do feel that the forbidden fruit which the Quran doesn't mention what the forbidden fruit was but the fruit that leads to Greater self-awareness and selfawareness because the Quran mentions them becoming more self-aware uh is linked to a greater level of Consciousness and and this tree of this fruit is also called the tree of of immortality or in in some traditions

as the tree of knowledge as said was the that gave this knowledge this I do feel that that was whatever it was I don't know obviously none of us know but whatever it was I incline and find myself in line with those who feel that whatever it was it was psychedelic it was a psychedelic fruit if if we want to use the word fruit metaphorically so whether it was mushrooms whether it was DMT whether it was whatever it was but the consum the consumed was

of um it was an enogen is the is the word that people of the path use okay enogen that which connects us to God psychedelics are the word I'm using for for the commoners you know now since I started rolling with King Charles III we have a language of our own you know the the US 0.1 percenters of the world [Laughter]

let me just check if Charles is awake I'll wake him up for the Now The Peasants you know for the peasants out there peasants so it keeps us up Keeps Us awake at night you know the fer the fer and the the and the worry about the and the of the peasants [Laughter] isn't that right Charlie Boy Charlie
