Sadeq From UK| Courage, Sacred Medicine & DMT

i'm from uk as you can probably tell i can tell i can tell by the accent exactly yeah not too far from you not too far from birmingham so um yeah it's like it's like half past two at the moment and i couldn't sleep this and um i just went on tv that's what i'm here for just to serve all those people who are having sleepless nights [Laughter] i'm loving your content by the way brothers done amazing man i appreciate it man honestly it means it means a lot it means a lot you know sometimes i do um i'm going through you know in my in my world and sometimes i do think what

on earth am i even doing and alhamdulillah i don't get these thoughts so often but occasionally i will and i'll think what the hell am i even doing and why am i even why do i even bother sometimes i occasionally i get these thoughts and uh and then you get like such a like a heartfelt message from someone i have to say i was you know i had a message from someone just yesterday actually someone who's actually done really well uh for himself and you know i won't embarrass him by but he's actually becoming incredibly prominent and on social media and becomes so um you know much exponentially much more

than i have but i was uh really surprised to to just get like a heartfelt message of uh him just saying that how much he felt indebted to to me and i was really surprised because i thought what really wow okay and and i just thought you know it's it's these things sometimes they it's good you know they can't find the kratom for almo but shukran share with us what's what's going on in these sleepless nights what's keeping you awake what is going on yeah i just want to first of all before i continue on my thing i just want to say that you've

your content is really good um it's amazing and it's very relatable um you know with so many muftis and chefs out there um you just can't seem to relate to them in these times so i just want to say that you know your content is very relevant in these times it's very much needed in these times and um you answer a lot of intellectual questions which most of the other mufti's and chefs don't do out there and maybe it's because of a vulnerability or maybe because they might be losing subscribers or followers and things like this but you kind of break that norm and you what i love about you is this is this

you have this level of courage and this is what i kind of lack and i kind of admire that about you because there's a lot of questions which are very controversial which most of the people want to answer but you're willing to answer that and i just think it shows something's quite beautiful beautiful about you that you're willing to do that um i can just have you continuously going all night like this i mean i'm just honestly honestly this is it's melting my heart honestly may allah always keep you blessed and and happy and smiling i i

i i i feel you know what you're saying and it does it motivates me um it does so chicken that's good that's good i mean so my question um i'm not sure there's a question whether it's an observation or what it is going on i've had some experiences um with plant medicine um sacred medicine sacred medicine yes sacred sacred sacred men sacred and um yes yes definitely sure and um it's been

very overwhelming to say the least um i watched one of your videos on um you know the toad and how you are saying how it's overwhelming it is yeah and i kind of i felt that connection to what you said that it can be very very too much it is beyond words it is beyond words it's these things it's it's so beyond words and that whatever message that you're given by the medicine it's kind of like it's so much it's so much to digest

and that when you're leaving these retreats or things like this you're on the end you'll end up left oh my god what happened you know and you're like oh my god i don't know how to integrate this back into my life and how is this going to make sense to my islam and all this sort of stuff and god it was like six or seven months ago now and i'm kind of starting to get back on my feet but even having said that i'm still trying to find my path you know and it's quite scary and i'm asking allah for help for guidance

now i'm kind of shaking a little bit see you know you see the path it leads it has always led to allah you see sometimes the difference may just be in how we picture things sometimes we may have had a certain narrative let's say of how we picture reality if the veil was to be removed because you know just of what we've watched in the movies what we've heard is stories what we've and what some of these things do is it's

beyond words it's when there is a kash um and it can be incredibly terrifying to the most you know to the nth degree because for a moment or for some moments a person may cease to exist as they have ever known themselves that they truly are submerged in an ocean of death and and and what they finally make contact with is just consciousness just the rule

it is a person doesn't know what to do with that in the sense that it is because when when reality as we know it this small reality with a small r and the ultimate reality which in arabic hakika is from haqq al-haqq from allah is only billa there is nothing otherwise and you see when a person is back in this kind of this understanding and this is why you find people this there's a a documentary as well uh called 5meo the movie it's on amazon prime and stuff it's a good documentary to watch they don't

necessarily promote they're not against they just follow the journey of a few people that are going through and the exploration but it's interesting you see when the people come back one of the things they do they they touch their face oh i have a face you know it's it's like what does this world mean but you know what it does it's it's not about you see it's not about that you have a certain oh i've come back with this message but it's that profound experience what it does is it it puts into perspective

that these little things in life you know this petty fighting this arguing this uh this ego this pursuing these like there's nothing wrong in pursuing pleasures you know sure by all means but it puts into perspective that yeah there are things there is a reality far greater far more profound yet to come and it also removes some fear it removes fear of the unknown fear of death a person starts to and in that way finds

themselves inextricably can more connected to the divine and you find many people that do this that do you know that walk the path of sacred medicine that they become better human beings they they become more connected to nature they want to uh spread more love amongst people they want to help people this is this has always been that message and you know it's interesting that people say you know people have pointed out i've read how people have pointed out that um when the uh the the prophet sallallahu alaihi describes the realm of the rabb

it's with that the kajaras you know it's like the the ringing of a bell the vibration the kind of and and this exact thing that people speak of the the of the unseen but i also get that it's it's not for everyone um you know i get that people don't know sometimes so i i i'm one of those people i feel that it calls people that the path will call them that it's not i you know there was a time

where i would have been very um i mean i'm still an advocate of sacred medicine but i'm i don't say to people that i think you should do i think you should i don't i don't do that and i i because it's uh the nature of it is it can be incredibly it is nothing you know it's like in that documentary dr david luke and i went to his lecture and i spoke to him personally and we we kind of spent time speaking and he's one of his leading you know he's a great professor who's researching psychedelics and all of this and he i forgot which university lectures that

now but um he's in that he's in that documentary so it's like he says in there that there's nothing ever that could have prepared you for it you know it's like in the documentaries it's like when they go to it they're like doesn't matter what nothing could have prepared us for it and people can react differently and i get that so and not everybody is at that level so this is why this this levels there's layers to this to this thing you know it's not even in the documentary they begin with smaller steps before they reach you know the ultimate

uh five meow but i so this is why i i personally i that's how i leave it i i do think it is something profound i don't think in any way it contradicts or clashes this is my understanding with islam if people feel it does in their understanding then fine they shouldn't ever embark on it but in my understanding i don't feel it does if anything you see echoes of it in you know in the faith and it only confirms but it's a different you know the fact that what you experience can't be put into words and maybe it's not the story that

you had you know because the thing is you have this story that there's going to be a you that looks like you that kind of is going to be in genna that's going to be in the afterlife and but nobody has ever really said these things like this this is just an approximation you see you can never picture consciousness without you you know this is the thing that can you picture being without you and because sometimes you do on these things a person it's so profound and there's other obviously there's other there's layers there's other variations this other medicine which

will you know like celestin or whether it's just empty where people will still be them and they will encounter and they will learn and communicate and talk and uh and this is you know this is why you get some researchers like uh rick straussman who kind of just packed it all in eventually because he you know he did this he's one of the key he's one of the mahakaleen of this madhab and he's just eventually because he tried to do it all scientifically and then in the end he's like what the hell do i do with this because everybody that goes there is like i've had this great experience and and he's like trying to tell them

well now it's a hallucination like no no it wasn't a hallucination it's very real and they're like no no you know i don't um it's it's in your imagination oh it's more real than this right now and then he doesn't know what to do with it because they're like well we saw these little creatures we spoke to these green little men or we they weren't men but these things so we spoke to nature and we did this and we did so in the end you don't know where to put that in modern day science so he just he's in the end it's interesting he's seeing him turn away but wow i'm glad you you did you know um you had the courage to share that with us um

these are profound paths um and it's it's difficult because it's it's the path of a people that you know who speak a language it's like almost the story of the name that they speak a language that other people not of the path won't understand it and it's easy you know what's often a proverbial hadith almost is put as a hadith that although it's may not be authentically hadith but it's true that anna only that people easily become opposed to that which they are ignorant of

and you know when you don't know something you easily oppose it and you become you become strong in opposition but yes for that um may allah bless you and you know yes so do stay in touch do drop me a message on uh instagram and let me look out for your profile and we'll we'll we'll be in touch inshallah we'll be connecting oh inshallah it's been good to speak to you and connect with your mufti and uh inshallah all the best and give my salams to your family okay much love

people that was from the uk people speaking about some difficult topics i guess but interesting i always find those topics profound you
