Courage Doesnt Always Roar! - Meaning with MALM 52

foreign right let's just see are we live and is the audio coming through people

right so let's take a look at the sound do a quick audio check if I can bring up the right the YouTube comments as well right Bismillah all right all right I see quite a few of you are here live and active Bismillah right so if

you can hear me loud and clear uh right I'm not sure if it's coming through I'm echoing good to hear Let me take a look I'm probably not connected to the right microphone all right all right all right let me try this one

right so Bismillah Bismillah is it coming through it's coming through clear Allah foreign speaking

of Pakistan may Allah protect and bless Imran Khan what turmoil huh what just what a crisis telling you we'll we'll come back to that let's see who's with us clear Allah look at the the name I like it has subhanallah Akbar and I like it people I like it

right so look at this Nabil Khan finished work let's do this that's the spirit I like it let me bring up today's um well I'm looking to go through whilst I'm doing that you guys know the drill spread the love that's it click like share let me uh-huh where is why is it doing this uh if you buy extra large icons whoa

all right where we at where we are right so um let me bring this find wow you know what I should do is see some of the older sessions here let's see okay interesting what is going on let me click on this unless it's okay

hmm oh this is good let's see where we here is why Bismillah all right people so that's what I'd like us to take a look at today with the theme that courage does not always Roar but there are many manifestations to

this incredible quality of Courage right before we uh right so with that in mind the quranic some quranic guidance on purpose and Providence wow people Risk Legacy abundance and just our trajectory some quranic guidance on that and then from the legends of Islam I

would like us to explore a personality that is none other Allah so these are some of the themes I'd like to explore but with this in mind Allah people courage does not always for harm let's look at some of these of some of these up yet

our couplets in Arabic is say that may now this is intriguing because it's almost you're wishing something against someone almost I mean it's one of those poems that you have a re a device within rhetoric where you say something but are

intending the opposite in a way so it's almost as if this is a curse but it's actually a blessing for a legacy so just as so here today that may God familiarize you with a storm foreign

within your ocean they don't they seem to lack a ferocity a ferocity to them a turbulence a a force so what is in essence a face value the person is almost wishing a struggle upon the other but in reality they are praying for their might but it's a matter of perspective so that's in light of

today's theme which is really addressing purpose in life Providence but also the you know the initiative to set forth and do something you know this is a another this is a well-known bait from the legend

of this just sheds it just has some so many angles to unpark Mark which is the Persian word for death foreign

of they don't have similitude almost of just it's a brief it's a temporary Pit Stop liquor that and it's interesting that dumb can be interpreted in many ways I mean it's it has many interpretations many kind um connotations of the obvious one of a breath that will continue

to March forward we'll continue this journey after we've taken a breath [Laughter] and in many ways that's you see he's thereby likening death to a respite which is also linked to that word of respire this this it's also it it it it has some familiarity with this um pit stop

so we'll take a breath and then keep on this journey forward into the Great are into the great unknown of the afterlife one could even say dumb is sometimes used to mean courage and you know people would say I got a dumb hair then do this and that's a fascinating take on this that we will set forward after that within death there is another

courage by which we Face the great unknown wow he was truly a master of words but that's what words are I thought speaking of the of Legacy then as always some some amazing quotes

of the great Maulana rum that I prayed for Change and this is really what I'm trying to um explore with you guys today about that courage doesn't always rule that I prayed for change so I changed myself or changed my mind

what it's like what I prayed for guidance and learned to trust myself because maybe that inner voice that intuition they were always Whispers from guidance divine so I prayed for guidance and learned to trust myself

you know it's it's crazy on on a side note in Psychology how often we learn that the voice of intuition the gut feeling it is so incredibly on point it's just that we often second guess it and cast doubt into it

yeah and you and you see that it's you'll see at times in whether it's going to be perceiving something in many psychological experiments when people have been asked to spot something that is very vague or very um you know inconspicuous or just ambiguous it's not so clear what what it is whether it's this that but if they were asked to report immediately upon first glance

whatever occurred to them it more often than not was correct but when they glanced at it longer and try to re try to work out logically what they would they were more likely to get it wrong [Laughter] it's perpetual struggle of the inner self and similarly it it says about reading people that if a person and micro Expressions

although women are arguably far better at reading microexpressions than men you know we the base Universal expressions are all that makes sense to us you know it's like happy sad angry worried you know it's like we don't really register the micro stuff going on [Laughter] women can just pick it all up see the game is rigged people the game is rigged I prayed for abundance and realized my doubt kept it out

I prayed for wealth and realized it is my health wow honestly you know these two sentences I prayed for abundance and realized what that that my doubt kept it out I kept second guessing myself

and thereby preventing this risk you know it's sometimes there's so much this this probably so much in our story that could have been so different had we not second guessed ourselves and you know hesitated Allah you know as the poet says that

is that if you are a person of opinion then March it with resolve for many a good goal if you like has been ruined by hesitation

wow what else did I put any other yeah what what else what could be better than to seal that with a a line from The Legend John Elia you know Johnny is just such a character he he resonates with us all in so many different ways

foreign [Laughter] of his let's say the the object of Desire uh you know as lakan object or even just really it doesn't even have

to be that object it could this wanting could be wanting with a capital w it could be Desire with the capital D [Laughter] ah that reminded me of uh cello a meme from a long time ago but it could be you see this could be about a goal it could be about a legacy it could be about anything it could be about a person but it this object of Desire here could be anything

that Zindagi comparge you know he says it's life that fell short otherwise whether it's him her it the gold the target that I would not have achieved it ah does it have such or such audacity that I would not have achieved it but here the audacity is being

attributed to it you see and thereby personifying the girl that the goal whether it's a legacy whether it's a person that they wanted this Legacy says that it's not the Legacy

that I would have achieved he says that does it have the audacity that it could avoid me that's what he's saying he says it's the runway that fell short flight was always in our destiny this foreign

yeah so let's see what's going on right so growth happens when you step outside your comfort zone so true so true being a man united fan this resonates right I [Laughter] uh Allah right yeah I don't um well I don't really watch football so um

somebody said what's real courage today to tell your wife that you want a second one we're gonna hear tomorrow that summer of Bosna allegedly committed suicide in his sleep whilst repeatedly beating himself over the head with with a frying pan [Laughter] and then bachara as a backup contingency strategy had also poisoned his morning coffee all in an attempt to commit suicide

the coroner's report will just say it's a simple open shut case clearly clear [Laughter] self an attempt not an attempt a successful attempt he euthanized himself right so Lotto [Laughter]

we've got the awesome he's not any awesome the awesome salaam from Houston Houston we have a problem [Laughter] well awesome G here's here's the problem you see allegedly every awesome in who appears as a narrator in Hadith is the haif did you know that fun fact [Laughter] that's actually a fun fact that if we

ask him in a chain of transmission in Hadith literature is weak and some people made an exception for one but fun fact right so um what uh what is going on speaking of since uh bachara Samir of Bosna mentioned his uh his unrelenting love for the mystery woman for whom he euthanized himself

right so that reminds me that that doesn't remind us that in line with that people what a what a synchronicity well I've got a poem for you guys it's actually a contemporary poem but this is the build up this is actually the build up so this is a drum roll foreign

inclining that I'm drawn towards you I go that brought within the proximity of breaths that's how close is as the alcoholic is so drawn to his drink foreign and I see gleaming in your eyes this love that taunts me that teases me nothing is

he says am I to blame if I have just hastened towards my feelings it says alone foreign that you have taken over my entire entity my body my soul until I am feeling modest from myself

that now the way people look at look upon me I find myself shy and bashful and embarrassed all this people that was the drum roll leading up to he follows it by colony Hadith

hahaha this has to be one of the greatest lines of poetry dedicated to a woman honestly this has to take the crown people what more could be said in praise to a woman he said that all the women on earth to me are like a Hadith they are a Hadith they have no chain of transmission they fabricated Hadith all the women to me are like fabricated Hadith well auntie

auntie whilst you are in your Makkah your station Hadith [Laughter] you whilst they are fabricated Hadith you to them are like a Hadith one of the most wisest of all companions wow what more could be said in Praise foreign

right so let's right let's see what's going on thoughts on a recent debate on hijab I've not seen this debate right so what are your thoughts on Aliens

all right so what are your thoughts on Aliens I for all we know we could be the very aliens all right so my thoughts on aliens are yeah I'm not so sure we will find um we will find aliens um look at this Mufti you always say that to me

what this couplet about Auntie Hadith oh the Asim comment oh the Asic right so about aliens I don't think we're going to find aliens and the reason being it's not that aliens don't exist in that sense uh

but rather it's because we are within we are living within a a kind of holographic simulation really I feel that this the whole universe is a simulation by Divine Design of course So within this universe

hmm I think it would be difficult despite its vastness to find aliens but what if it's I think the existence that we're seeking or the entities maybe of from different dimensions so yeah and obviously how can we understand or explain that I don't know but what if yeah what you see what if Consciousness which is

permeating through into this simulation into this existence which we have you see that is the Royal and that is the actual player of the game in this kind of symbiotic relationship with us because it's so we are you know the recipient device so I suppose that does ask the question about Consciousness and a dimension or a realm of Consciousness then

as in is it just part within this realm or is it from another realm that is then permeating this realm as in is there an is or where Consciousness a world a universe of consciousness that then permeates this universe um and does that consciousness

before it's an ultimate connected Consciousness does it have its individual particularities are they also like like personified consciousness I don't know nobody knows [Laughter] but you know I I once lowered my consciousness shall we say to a state where yeah it was interesting seeing reality so differently

but in it there was a perception that hmm something along those lines but it's difficult to properly articulate oh well let's let's move on right somebody said there was a debate uh with DH as Daniel and a murtada who is murtada

I don't know which the star uh popular person or I don't know who it is so I noticed your recent video clips get more of your tend to be topics related to really [Laughter] oh that reminds me right yes there were some uh you know it's interesting I so one of my videos recently she was about men and women being polygamous and there were a few on this topic and

and there was one stating that women generally are not uh polygamous by Nature and this I I noticed got a lot of uh people were somewhat upset by some people in the comments they they were thinking what the hell is Mufti saying how women are not even true why is he basing it on other animals and creatures [Laughter] I I mean look it's not you don't have to these kind of topics are scientific

they're not actually based on opinions um so you can you know you you can have you can perform your hypothesis and contribute to the pool of feel research and say well fine you know I don't think uh female human females are monogamous by Nature based on this data and what is the data what date did you have it doesn't uh so so you'd say well you know you'd have to perform a certain amount of data but you'd have to gather and collate and try

to but I think you'll actually if you did that you'll find it strangely disproving your own hypothesis and I think what people are confusing in this topic you see polygamous monogamous doesn't mean so some person had left a comment I read a comment saying oh that is to do with marriage marriage is a human construct so you know obviously creatures you can't compare human beings to creatures because creatures don't get married

thank you for informing us about that now now if you decide to go back to your Slumber State this is actually a scientific discussion uh uh are women or are the female species across species monogamous or polygamous this is the term they use as well in scientific literature it's not something we're using only as Muslims or as religious uh you know religious people and obviously here the term is it's extended from monogamy but it's not carrying that

element of a you know a a marriage it means to have settled with one partner that's what it means so yeah now people that were getting quite worked up some people because they were misunderstanding and I think that that's what it really stems from so what this doesn't mean is they don't have attraction to multiple people that would always be the case I think all creatures uh human I mean all humans or broadly speaking would always have some level of

attraction to countless people so you know whether people would fancy celebrities to to people they just come across that's not what the discussion means about monogamy and polygamy so I think that's what people are confusing it with that to take to fancy someone to be sexually attracted and they're thinking well obvious you know how can you say women are not that's nobody's debating that that's a that's a given everybody is like that what it means is when a person is firmly

happily settled with a partner that do they have an in a drive to have other partners in addition to that partner so you'll find actually all that you'll find the data I mean you can research it this is you know not something which a person is making up that women when they have um let's say if a woman is married and having an affair or if she's in a relationship she doesn't have to be married and she's having an affair

this often will always come down to the fact that there is a discontentment in that relationship that there is a uh that she doesn't feel valued she does or she feels that there's something lacking or she's doesn't feel validated or she doesn't feel or she feels neglect all this she feels incomplete there is something lacking in her psychology therefore she then she stumbled upon or embarks some um validation some

um some kind of fulfillment elsewhere that she then is drawn towards so you'll find most now this doesn't mean every single person but for the most part and and that's how things work within theories that you have to generalize so for the most part that is what it would be for women for men it's we won't be like that now this is where you draw the difference So within the DNA there will be an

element for uh the pursuit for sexual variety that regardless of Happiness it's not in fact it wouldn't have nothing to do with that so this is where when you take it down at a DNA genetic level to that point because it's it's it's hardwired from Evolution to to spread the seed in the sense to to have more offspring to to populate and this is how the world obviously this is how we've arrived at where we are now that's not to say one way is wrong and the other way is right this is just nature this is just how and human beings

are part of nature now that's not to say that every single human being would be like that and it's not to say all men will follow out on that desire uh given the current climate I'm not saying that they will but this is what the data shows psychologically it shows that and this is why I drew it down to that absurd hypothesis so which obviously was hilarious but it was absurd that if you had you know a a giant room a person a man submerged in a hundred women

um that it would be an absolute fantasy for generally for most men and for the male mind anyway and the opposite a woman submerged in 100 men would be an uh a mental violation for most females so it's and the reason it an absurd example was given is to show that once you peripheralize something you take it to its borders you can then see the differences quite starkly then you can work your way backwards so so the the concept was because I felt by

seeing some of the comments that people totally didn't get the topic it was saying if people were in a settled relationship full-time full-time would that woman want to whilst being in a happy fulfilled let's say a hundred percent fulfilled relationship would she at that point want to also just go out and have sexual encounters with other men you'll find generally speaking no that is across the board

um whereas men the mind and the DNA now I'm not saying they will do it but the DNA will dictate yes still regardless now it doesn't mean that they'll act out on it and I'm not saying that people don't have the willpower to control things but the DNA would still lean that way it wouldn't be like with just because everything is brilliant it's 100 it couldn't get any better it's a dream come true still the DNA would lean that way they would still the desire would want variety now that's now it doesn't mean that they will act on that

it doesn't mean so just to you know I get it some people when they hear this they just freak out because of insecurities but I'll Just In that clip I was just highlighting the science and it got people offended I thought what the hell you know I thought you speak religion people get offended you speak science people get out in bed [Laughter] we've gone at this speed where pre-capernicus and I've always felt that this is the genius of Islam where it has always polygamy see I think

Islam is ahead of the Curve that you watch Western societies are going to come to polygamy give it a few Generations we've just been ahead of the curve that's all as Muslims they will in time to come it is going to come back to us because they are exploring all the other variations and in the end

it's going to come back to the DNA in the end but that's my hypothesis who knows will who will be alive to see the outcome of that right and yeah and so women are just yeah so this is not to so once again it's not to say that it's not to say that there isn't this is I think if you give it in so that's the best way to understand it imagine you had an absolute fulfilled like a woman was absolutely in love with a man

she's absolutely in love with him and they are in a full-time relationship it's the best that it could possibly be they are walking in you know it's just amazing it's a dream they're living together everything that woman in that state of mind um would not be seeking mentally her DNA would not be seeking to be having uh sexual encounters with other men it wouldn't be and it doesn't mean she won't fancy like fancy does you see fancy is not as that kind of an urge fancy is it's just more like if she's watching a movie and she

thinks oh that act is so good looking it doesn't mean that it means an actual real urge not so if she's in an 100 fulfilled relationship you will not find it it's only when the relationships are not fulfilled that the woman's urge them to seek it elsewhere will appear That's the difference with the male DNA and psyche that it has nothing to do with the relationship the relationship is 100 perfect but the DNA would dictate

the The Urge now it doesn't mean that they they would act out on the earth always people may control it but that's how so when you bring it down to that point you can clearly see the difference so yeah so I think that's the you have to and it doesn't matter what people say that what this point that I'm saying is this is factual this is how it is you will not find women and this is why women often um you know they will you'll find women for example one women often fight harder for relationships

because the way they are bound to it it really ties deep into their psyche the the bond secondly you'll find often women for example when the guy has cheated on them they're often response is I don't that they don't get it that were they not enough because you see from their DNA when something is enough they don't look anywhere else or there are no urges to look anywhere else but that's not the male DNA so this is why often you'll find whether

it's in literature in books in real life discussions that when the woman has been cheated on her first response to them to the man will always be that because they because they because they're mirroring their own sense of the world onto them they're thinking well the only reason I would do that is if he wasn't enough was I not enough so this is because that's how they see the world and for them and the man would often be trying to explain that that's not what it is as you see in all these studies and and what's interesting yeah so this is

actually a very fascinating discussion within psychology I remember when we did it within our psychology degree it's really fascinating seeing cultures around the world how they disagree on these matters how for example polygamy and obviously Muslim in our in our societies uh is you know it's it's a valid truth how in other societies things are different how things like our what is considered cheating even it's interesting that is it the actual act obviously is it even just texting and an emotional attachment and and the fascinating point of discussion here was

we women were asked that would you rather for example uh your boyfriend met somebody had a one-night stand or that he was chatting flirting for and having feelings for somebody at work but hasn't slept with them and it's interesting that the and they asked the same thing to men and for men it was always physical like they were like of course that she'd rather not have slept with the person but for the women for the most part it was the other way that they obviously they're rather none but if given the choice they'd rather it was a fling that meant nothing and then an emotional bond

which had no sexual contact yet so that see when you when you take these things you start to see a difference in the fitra which is really uh fascinating uh in line with with that actually Japan in the study they showed that part of the Japanese culture was that husbands were not so these one-night stands that you met somebody in a bar or something was not considered adultery so I remember at the time in the class people were thinking yeah Japanese culture

we got everybody's got us people what is this yeah but they had this they said in Tokyo um or in Japan not just Tokyo but the culture was these one night stands or even women going to not women sorry men going to see escorts or prostitutes or just a one-night meaningless fling somewhere was not by the culture deemed uh adultery it was just deemed being silly at the time we in class were thinking

in Japan anyway right let's uh but you know I think sometimes it's just amazing to observe the fitral Vincent just to stand back and observe it all it is a Divine Comedy honestly it's it's so you know it's so uh it's it's it's just amazing to observe human beings are truly just it's it's like we are just an an experimental observation ain't we in everything we do it's just so amusing to

just think wow how do people that was so weird we're so bizarre we're so yeah does it really make a woman polygamous there is a lack in a relationship no it doesn't make a woman polygamous nobody said it makes a woman polygamous right uh nobody said that um yeah so for the Americans what does the word

fancy mean oh do Americans not use the word fantasy to fancy something is that a British term ah yeah I guess it is British I'll leave it to the uh to the comments uh right fancy yeah fancy is to to you know to take that kind of a liking to take a liking to something um you know to to it's yeah it's more of a British thing yeah um I mean to find some yeah in a person yeah it could mean that you find somebody attractive oh you fancy them

but it's not fancy is still a light term it's not a like a heavy Griffin uh term right okay let's move on people right okay let's see Bismillah I wanted to just waiting for this to load up somebody said King Charles um coronation coming up has he invited me can I reclaim the Kohinoor as part of

the Indian Legacy hindustani right so I fancy I fancy you geo geo marijuana I fancy all of you as well not not here mm-hmm that's a Luton terminology Luton yeah like having a crush on someone yeah sure that's good yeah okay let's move on um

I want to take a look at two verses of the Quran people that could shed some lot some some light and guidance on purpose and Providence one from suratul Hajj and then from the cave so I was with

this is taken from within the Ayah that who watched foreign this is such an empowering verse that Allah reminds us he chose you just remember that whenever you find yourself facing an obstacle a hurdle

a difficulty a challenge in life whenever you face yourself with prospects of failing or of despondency despair a lack of ambition or willpower just remember

Allah chose you amongst all these people he chose you to be that very person that is facing that in your story other people have got their own foreign

just in knowing that there is so much courage and this is what is meant that courage doesn't always Roy does not always rule it is not always that yes undoubtedly courage is in those things high and mighty but it is equally in facing these gradual incremental steps these micro hurdles

this individual personal problem that you're going through as a person it is in that just as much and it may not be making so much noise it may not be people may be thinking oh well what so courageous about having to oh what's so courageous about you know setting up some uh some kind of company or what's so courageous about oh what's so courageous about even turning

up to work what's so courageous about turning up to the gym what's so courageous about eating healthy what's so courageous about being ill or or being depressed but in the face of it Rising that these are your struggles your story

he has chosen you you know do not fall short do not waver to not give up Allah has chosen you and even if this story at this stage doesn't seem so enthralling and exhilarating and so exciting and but the story isn't over yet [Laughter]

you know this is but just the beginning there's so many there's so much more to come yet so many amazing things to be unveiled so many victories to unfold so remember that come

from it's amazing how this your choice is then sequenced with the with the nature of the Deen the ontology the fabric of what makes this faith

Allah has not placed this being as one of inconvenience for you this theme is a source of strength it is a source of determination hope inspiration it is a Deen that if you are struggling it provides you with Roxas it provides you with conveniences it provides you with exemptions it provides you with welfare when you are down it provides you with courage

foreign I say this time and time again should always be something that complements your life not something which impedes it it should not be the theme is not about being a hurdle a speed bump a it's not about that the dean is something that complements your life is smooth and the rough

it facilitates the hardships it fuels the flame who watched so remember that such an empowering verse from Surah verse 78.

and in light of today's especially today's theme that courage does not always rule that there is a Divine wisdom to things that sometimes we don't get we don't understand it that you have this verse that you've got here from the story of Musa verse 77 foreign

on this journey until they came to a people and they sought food from them and the people were rude told them shoe get away get away get away haven't got time for you this is the people foreign guests you see especially in the past and even in many cultures today especially Muslim cultures that a guest is the personification of the mercy of God

you know they say that this is a mercy a personified Mercy from God is is a guests get lost get away shoo shoo get away we don't they were asking for food you know what what harm is there to give a little something to someone who's hungry what does Allah say in the Hadith kutsi that had you fed that hungry person a you would have found God

you would have found me you thought you were feeding the hungry person no had you fed him you would have found me within but here for a bow in your life chewing them away get get out of it oh get get lost get awake hey we don't give food to strangers we don't give food to forward

in the vicinity of of this Village of these people who had been terrible been just so rude and and demoralizing they had that they told Musa to to get away from them go and refuse to give them anything there is this wall that is dilapidating it's falling over it's

so far starts to fix the wall labor for free sits about pit picks up bricks sets up this firm wall which was part of a foundation is bewildered who wouldn't be you know when somebody hurts your heart it is truly you know one of the worst

things to experience that you know when you're in time of need and somebody turns your way it shatters the heart this is why there's a Hadith that you know that Allah says you'll find me with those whose Hearts have been shattered Allah

and here if a person was hungry and um it hurts you know sometimes these things hurt more than the actual you know once I I've told you guys before I won't go into it but I mentioned that years ago it was a decade back I was kidnapped in Cairo and and the whole thing was you know I've mentioned it before in a story and I was dumped by this abandoned stream right so

and and it was freezing it was the middle of the night and just had a t-shirt on and it was on and you know when I was bleeding a bit and and I I remember thinking that you know oh God because there were no lights in any you know I couldn't see any light and I'm thinking should I go this way I'm going that way then I'm thinking should I go that way and it's just all abandoned derelict buildings there's nothing there's no people no residence no lights just just this stream and this kind of I guess like an abandoned Road and and then I'm jogging to keep warm and and

and eventually in the distance I see this light and I was so oh my God I was so just thrilled a person let me because I needed to get back to my hotel so I turn up to this person and it turns out to be a small bakery and and I I said to him you know oh you know assalamu alaikum you know I I said you know uh I need some help you know please can you get me a phone I need to make a phone call and this and you could see that

look I was slightly kind of bleeding there's some blood from my coming down my hand and my lips and and you could tell that obviously I'm a foreigner you know I don't look Egyptian so and the person just looked at me and just goes get away go away go go go go go wow and you know and I said huh I said look could I you know I say you don't understand I've been kind of kidnapped and just dropped here and robbed and um I said could I just make a phone call could and he said oh no go go and I had

my hotel card and I said look could you could you call the hotel for me here's the and and he said no no go go go go go go go go you know and and I just okay and I walked off and and I remember that hurt me more than the whole the whole incident I wasn't as hurt as I was by this person just you know being so unhelpful I just couldn't fathom how you could be so unhelpful to another person who was

in need and but it's amazing that a time of need if a person is to shun your way that how that shatters the heart it's it's incalculable so yeah I mean my thing I've mentioned it all before and I'm sure it's it's on YouTube I mean Allah works in mysterious ways and it did all work out in the end alhamdulillah Allah be praised on fun and games but here you see in this incident in this instance

Salaam um right Musa Ali Salaam surprised doing an act of service for these people and TK if you want to do an act of service he's not objecting to the act of service is saying look at his reply um look at his reply oh his his sorry his interjection Musa he says

that is so beautiful you know because this it is it is it is so intriguing that he's not asking for anything that's irrational he's not saying why did you build a wall he's not saying you know those people were so blah blah blah bleep bleep bleep to us you should not do anything to help me he's not saying this he's a nubby of God he's from the highest Markham

what is he saying he's saying and something that is actually of Justice he's saying something that is actually a valid rule of life that is that upon which this world is built and works he's only saying [Laughter] he's saying you know if you wanted you could have charged them for that

you see so builds builds a this wall Musa is not and then he walks is walking off and Musa walking after him and he's not saying you see because Musa was assuming okay he's built the wall maybe he will now go and ask for some food in return because he'll say hey guys you guys probably didn't have the skill set you probably didn't have the know-how maybe you didn't have the time or the

resources but this wall was dilapidating I built it for you in turn you know what you can just give me a certain amount of bread certain amount of reward a certain amount do I deserve it yeah 100 percent and most likely they would have agreed let's just be reasonable they may have agreed there's a potentiality is this request

uh is this a is this request unreasonable no is this unjust no Musa Ali salaam is actually but he's surprised he doesn't say this when Heather is building the wall Heather has built the wall he's completed it he's got up he's walking with him oh they're walking away from the village I thought would go to the Village I thought we'd ask for some recompense

he's saying I you know you could have just taken a reward for this after all were we not hungry did we not deserve a reward Allah of course we are so this question of Muslim is not an unreasonable it's very reasonable it's very rational very logical

at this point redar says did I not tell you you cannot be patient with me this is it he says you know let's play enough done enough said wow and the story of hither we're going to come back to some other day the whole story but here what is beautiful is there are certain actions in life just do them

don't seek a reward let your reward be with God see this is we you will find that certain have said that if Heather had taken a reward from them it's as if he has diluted the reward that God will give him

and when somebody does you wrong to do something kind for that person or that's a struggle cannot try this you know sometimes if you are thinking of someone I try this and I want you all to try this inshallah sometimes if you are thinking suddenly you get a bit of a distasteful thought about someone for no reason let's just say somebody says something and

you feel a bit envious it happens you're a human being you feel almost jealous somebody say hey I just got this you think yeah it could have been better I could have got it you know we're human beings you feel a bit in your heart you wanted to go somewhere you couldn't go other people got to go you wanted that promotion you didn't get it somebody else got it

you're struggling with some finances and you see somebody else oh living it large they're getting extra off you know it hurts yeah somebody said look Imran Emi just said you wanted that girl but she no want you man

what's the the poet says he says [Laughter] yeah I became infatuated with her but she was infatuated with another who was infatuated with another [Laughter] so when all of this is happening

watch you do you know when you find yourself a bit envious a bit uh with with almost like with a bad fee with a bad yeah maybe yeah just just a negative energy towards someone you know what in that moment I want you to try this as soon as you become aware of this that hmm that damn I'm feeling a bit jealous I'm feeling a bit I want you to make Dua for that person may Allah give them more and more

Army oh my God it's gonna cost you nothing to do it nothing but believe me the moment you do this this is how you set yourself free Allah will give you regard and I tell you abundance is in letting go

you do this for Allah Allah will do things for you foreign if you wanted you could have taken a reward for that he knew he could have but his reward was with God you see this is let there be some actions in this world that you do for the sake of Allah that you do with a pure heart and intention you will find the fruits of them anyway but better than any fruit with it you

will find God nothing will be done so it's not wrong to seek compensation or to be recompensed for what to be given you'll do for something that you have done but sometimes doing something solely for no reward that has in it an intrinsic qualitative reward that is incalculable

may Allah really open up these realities for us I mean I wanted to share that with you these two verses are these people we have in this courage that even if it is silent and does not rule it has an echo

that can be heard throughout your lifetime may Allah bless these things for us I mean I mean let's move on people right um oh this reminds me right what what just happened there this reminds me uh before I forget I'm not sure if we'll probably we'll do this in more depth another time but many people may not be aware that Carl Jung he actually has um

somewhat of a commentary on certain parts of surakaf of the Quran which may come as a surprise actually and so two key things he speaks about he has this in his uh answers to job but where he'll on one is the sleepers of the cave he speaks about that so he is looking at this these narratives within the Quran symbolic which by the way other Sufi Mystic commentators have done it way before him but he is looking at that and what we'll

do one of the days we'll go through all of these in some detail but he sees these as symbolic and about the process of individuation where you are taking your psyche which is the is going to be the conscious and the unconscious mind and you are kind of dealing with it all dealing with the Shadow and you are what the term he uses is individuation you are individuating which is almost like a rebirth you are emerging but with this newly found um consciousness so it's fascinating that he sees this

story as symbolic and he um so he characterizes um Musa Ali Salam as the conscious mind and he has with him you know whether it's going to be other guidance one could say the intellect or other things or the wisdom of the Earth Is His assistant his helper and the fish you see because in the story they they have this they're going they're looking for this wise servant of God the green one and

they're told that it's about the fish the fish will be the key but they're not fully sure what's going to happen with the fish but they but the fish will hold a secret and the fish young says in many because it's the fish is that which cannot be caught by humans as in within the sea it's so difficult to grasp and it's it's so Elusive and in many he sees it in many Traditions young argues as symbolic for the unconscious mind so when they go to sleep at that place

and the fish escapes into the sea the sea is the collective unconscious of where the unconscious mind the fish actually belongs and the and in the uh what we have in the Aya this is when they reached the point of the two seas and that he sees symbolic as with the conscious mind meets the unconscious mind this kind of territory where this territory is the fish then the unconscious mind sneaks back into this

great Collective unconscious they realized that was the point and come back to it and that's where they find who is as young argues the archetype of wisdom and guidance from from God as in divinely place but from the unconscious mind which comes back and guides Moses through these series of events which to Moses don't seem to because to the conscious mind they don't seem to be

entirely logical or rational because the unconscious mind works in a different way you see and and see here for reference whether it's going to be La Khan with metonymy and metaphor and how the unconscious mind works and is structured like a language or is completely unattainable as Freud said or so sets off on this journey with Moses and he does things like he will puncture the ship you see because and that's to to kind of it's It's to symbolize

that certain that the kind of struggle and certain things in order that that not being able to adapt leads to a disintegration of the self that you have to adapt even if it's through some damage that that the lessons being symbolic and and then the killing of the boy representing this this kind of symbolic killing um an immature uh psyche in order for a more healthy psyche to emerge and and this wall that they found was to

to basically to to plant into the psyche certain Treasures certain certain Martyrs that are to re-emerge so we have many things planted in our unconscious mind that re-emerge later on in life and they dictate Our Life For Better or For Worse you see and so he saw this whole story um demarcating one the disciple uh student archetype but then also a representation of how God teaches Humanity through these

archetypes through a Divine archetype of um of the process of individuation integrating your darker self the Shadow and but it's it's fascinating I I found that just wow and it's something you know what I'll go through the whole process of what Young um says about that and how he speaks about the process of individuation with the sleepers of the cave as well and then what I'll do is I'll add I bought this book actually not so long ago having some you know this whole um I I think it may have been a masters a thesis in essence turned into a book

but about the mystical commentary on this and some uh the the different of us here especially the Sufi Mystic tafsieves on this point of the journey and and how it refers to the unconscious mind and this is and the nafs and the rule and way before Carl Jung so what I'll try to do is maybe do a lecture where I integrate all of these and uh speak about them I think that will be fun right okay let's move on people

yeah Allah yep is showing through these verses the value of hidden treasures and patience uh that we couldn't even begin to comprehend in our absolutely absolutely right so people where are we art right what is going on um

right what's this uh maybe header had neuro funeral homes link okay thesis equals book equals movie of Ride um Musa wanted to get a patreon yeah it's it is a fascinating story you know the more I become intrigued I become I've become more and more

fascinated with uh just as an observation and appreciation of the whole mystical tradition that we have in Islam obviously this is actually more green than it's appearing in the screen it's actually quite a dark green but it for some reason I think the camera is picking it up as a light green it may be because of I don't know but because I don't know why but it's actually quite a dark green uh yeah

Nora Allah bless you all right for the Super Chat any words before Ramadan yeah so Ramadan has uh fast approached people and what what I will try to do is this Ramadan I will try to keep um certain episodes going okay because I think yeah I think it would be nice and I also feel that I've been not been able to do

as many episodes just because of preoccupations and things that have been happening and uh my mother's health and and a lot of other things as well so yeah so I um but but I more and above uh just just that the the void it's the fact that I I'm I have this feeling that I I have this wanting to it's like I want to do that so yeah inshallah let's let's do that on what I would say is look a few people had asked me um

about Ramadan on I want to highlight that look this you know don't feel burdened by any way do not you know sometimes we can we can get stressed out it happens to all of us you know we can think ah man you know ah you know I've got this to do I've got to get this work done I've got to get um you know oh man now I'm not going to be eating well I've got exams I've got you

know I need caffeine oh my God I'm gonna lose size because my muscles I won't be feeding protein I'm you know it's surprising you oh I'm gonna feel drowsy without my food I'm gonna feel ditzy and you know just just fatigued and lethargic and and we've all had these thoughts everybody has thought like and it's normal it's human it's the fitra okay but I want to tell you something honestly I I encourage you all to

on YouTube typing things like the benefits of intermittent fasting there's many videos there's there's a there's a Dr Burke b-e-r-g there's a few people with so many with I mean with this with the data with the science with the with the feedback with qualifications medical with holistic quality you'll have people that are so Health uh positive breaking down to you and for you these

things because look just take and don't get listen don't I don't want you to misunderstand this I'm not trying to say um will come in a moment to the religious thing but believe me our worldly perspective shapes how we see things people see fasting as oh you know I'm just gonna be hungry and not have coffee and not have food and oh my God I'm gonna be just grumpy and I'm gonna be like this and that's because they are seeing it well

these people need to just have a watch of some of these videos they they'll be like 10 minutes long you can watch them at Double speed if you like they will show you it's phenomenal the health the benefits the mental benefits the health benefits of fasting so long and they will guide you on how not what not to do so don't go crazy with all this fatty foods and all this stuff when you do iftar and when you do this allow your body to trigger something called

autophagy it's actually where the body turns on itself and starts eating some of its self within which sounds bizarre but actually once the body enters usually once fasting has become a pattern within something like 36 to 48 Hours the body goes into a state of autophagy so long as you're not ruining it by with all these ridiculously fatty foods if you're eating healthy in between what that does is it will yeah so although it sounds freaky but the body will turn on all the what it will start

to do is it will start to turn on any uh any potentially cancerous cells and we all have these kind of cells by the way so we have cells at a very small molecular level that are Mal reproducing but the body is it's gradually destroying them it doesn't allow them to develop to a certain State it's the body starts to eliminate all of these you will find that the body within days will start to work on resetting insulin to a certain it will start to free up radicals it will start to work on trying to free certain stem cells it will you

will see the mental Clarity that the body is providing you you will find yourself losing unhealthy body weight fats the body will start to it will start resorting to consuming the fats you will be so surprised how powerful the body is you'll be so surprised I mean it is all we have been misinformed I'm telling you you will start to realize ah I didn't actually need the amount of food I was eating that you know to give you an example

that people have done this to bizarre lens this on YouTube you can see that there's this person who I who actually fasted like that abstaining from All Foods obviously drunk water he could have teas and coffees if he wanted took vitamins he did it under medical surveillance he fasted for 13 months I mean I'm not suggesting you do that but 13 months no it goes without saying he when he began he was obese by the time he finished he was absolutely healthy Not only was he healthy his diabetes had disappeared his insulin had been reset entirely and doctors thought that that's

crazy as soon as he starts eating he'll come back with with follow-up checks after five years now they found his insulin was just as healthy look you will be surprised that's a ridiculous amount you will find this happening within weeks within two weeks your body will be resetting so many things that we just don't allow it to reset because we keep eating we keep eating I since I've watched these videos and there's so many this the science in it the the knowledge is undeniable I since I've watched it I've stopped I've

pushed my now I just have brunch I do not have breakfast I will just eat probably earliest 11 30 or noon and it is it's amazing what it's done to my body it's so look what I'm saying is just from a worldly perspective know that there is so much you know wallahi when I started I look I ended up watching these videos because um and this because of my mom's health I got onto them and I started watching and and then one thing after another and

YouTube brings you more and more and you start watching more it's it changed my life or an incredibly significant part of it it reshape I used to be one I used to think breakfast was the most important meal of the day yes nonsense it is not and we in the western world where we constantly eat are providing ourselves with so much like the body has everything it needs to fix itself for the most part the problem is we

don't allow it because we're constantly you see it's under stress it's like it's got to hold up some weight but if you give it enough time it could push the weight up but we keep loading it so we're having breakfast now it's having to digest that the livers having to store the fatty uh you know deposits it's having to break things down the kidneys are at work before just as it's finishing it hasn't even finished always smacking down more lunch it's having to deal with more the gut microbiome is being messed up uh we're trying to clear up that in between we're throwing all these fatty foods this junk you know just uh desserts and

desserts and and sweets and sugar and sugar and we're throwing sugar and we're doing this day in day out to the body the I'm telling the two lead causes for cancer contrary to what you may imagine two lead causes are food and stress it's what you eat and stress these are the leading causes sure a person could be you know they could be exposed to certain radiation a person could smoke and maybe they develop things and it could happen I'm not saying but the main

leading causes you'll find are these two it's the nutrition you don't want they they say now that EV I think ever is it one out of every two or three men in his lifetime will now have cancer that and I think for women is it one out of every three or four so it's slightly less but this is simply coming down to it's not not much else has changed for humans it's our diet we're eating processed foods we're eating chunk we're flooding

our systems with sugar now look Ramadan is a beautiful opportunity look it's there anyway it's there anyway look what the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam said he said sumo he said fast you will gain good health that's counter-intuitive it doesn't make any sense to people they're thinking well no I'll have less strength I'll have less no you see you think that

yes there's a small brief moment where the you know the the the you'll find that the hormones kind of being released grilling being released which triggers the hunger response but that gets subdued then the body will stop turning on malignant elements within it and and eating it during this state of autophagy it will also start providing Clarity hence you find people who fast between 36 to 72 hours they result in laser sharp Clarity mental focus you can watch this on uh YouTube people will be giving recording they'll be shocked how how

clear their thinking is that they're expecting the opposite so and the irony was you see this is why you see in the lifetime of the Prophet salallahu you see the companions you see they're struggling you see in battles a lack of food but they would fast and you see whilst assassinated armies were thinking huh that's funny you know that's interesting we're gonna eat up all this food for energy

and the Muslims on many occasions fasting many of the greatest conquests in Islam happened during Ramadan right throughout Islamic history and you think well that isn't they're not gonna have energy you see but that's counter-intuitive because you're gonna think that it's you're right logically thinking you're gonna think that but that's because you underestimate how the body works under stress the body is designed and equipped to release exponential capacity

do you know they so when the stem cells are are used used up you know what I at a fetal stage to generate the the limbs and the different body parts there are several you know whether it's a few million stem cells they say but there are still several stem cells that are left remaining they don't just completely um you know they don't just wither away the body actually stores them deep into the bones and why does it store them

and and it's weird that the entire key the potential that should this body ever come under such dire death encountering stress that the body will release things it will release these super almost nuclear sources of strength that it doesn't know it has that this is

honestly and look forward to it trust me nothing is gonna you're not gonna lose anything you're not gonna lose size you know people the amount of people they stress on and lose size in the gym don't worry about these things gonna come right back yeah you're gonna gain some phenomenal strength you will have Clarity of mind you will have Focus um you think you're you're worried it will also show you how truly in your independence from food you are not dependent

I mean ultimately I get it we all are but not in the way you think you are you we think we're dependent oh my God I haven't had breakfast oh my God I'm gonna die I haven't had the coffee oh my God not in that way we're not in there that's all just psychological so I say let's use this opportunity it's Embrace but be weary don't flood your system with all this nonsense and fatty kind of unhealthy junk be a bit you know treat your body like the temple that it is and yeah and with

that in mind let's take this opportunity to explore even a bit if we can of the Quran even a bit you know just let's try this going to you we're going to surprise ourselves I'm telling you you're gonna think ah I'm busy I'm with that a little bit you you you're gonna love it it's gonna be amazing but let's just try so this is what I wanted to say yes Allah make things easy Army

all right okay so guys I wanted to share with us uh from today's episode of uh Legends of Islam Allahu Akbar ladies and gentlemen allow me to present Allah Akbar from the legends of Islam Allah Allah Allah I did put some notes so I don't forget right

Ali he is one of the major Dons of early Islam from the era of the turbine he is he's born in 88 hijri in which is in Lebanon now he is one of the major imams by the way when we speak of madhubs he's a contemporary of Malik Abu hanifa he's one of the you know the heavyweights

back then the Dons the legends that is foreign and this this other is was actually a region just on the outskirts of Damascus um where there's an area known as I think they it was known as Babel faradis in the past I think it's almara today

and um it's right so they they they had certain stables and things that they dealt with uh and he he resided in that region for a while he became known as okay uh with reference to that um that that region so that's his

she was born in um born in Lebanon uh where she passes away as well in Beirut but he was born in ancient site of humanity really and he um he was orphaned and when I say orphaned in terms paternally his father passed away whilst he was very young just an infant really so he he grew up in a very impoverished state you know he was uh

um incredibly poor as a child but this is interesting because you know people um people will often use such setbacks to say well oh you know I never got such and such in life you know oh such and such got a head start such and such God it's true but imagine you've got here an orphan who doesn't even in in what was it

patriarchal society and a time that was patriarchal he didn't have that fatherly shade over his head he didn't have that support of a man to kind of show him the path and then on top of that his mom didn't have much wealth so he was very poor now you take those you know elements you put them into an equation and Imam oza is a testimony

that no matter what your circumstances you can attain a legacy you think today You've Got It Bad with today's opportunities what do you think it was like back then you know you go back 1300 years ago how do you think you think it was it wasn't tough then it was much worse so that's how he he grows up his mother when he was four years old um um

um his mother takes him to Beirut and there she knew some relatives of his father and she kind of asks them to help Foster him and and they try and they start helping and and he sets off on his way this becomes the Journey of what will become the great Imam ozai and they say about him you know he grew up to be this um this man of presence they say he was you know somebody you know just the average kind of like stature he wasn't too tall wasn't too

short but he was quite had broad kind of shoulders to him uh he was he was brown skinned they you know compared that to Imam Malik we've spoken about white with blonde eyes and hear you more very um he was somebody who would often uh wear an imama around his head and yeah and he he was known actually for being very uh very handsome he did have some very handsome features about him and these things as well help I guess in life you know persons sometimes it's

strange sometimes people's looks reflect or they tie it as a symbiosis this kind of symbiotic relationship with the inner self and out herself sometimes there isn't but sometimes there is yeah so he um so he studies Islam he studies with many scholars he travels goes to Makkah he comes back he moves between cities and he catches the eyes of the authorities who've realized this guy is very talented um

and they do try to give him the the position of a church he refuses it he refuses this uh because he just didn't want to be in that kind of didn't want to have that kind of uh um liability in front of God really to have made mistakes as a judge you know it's a big it's a big deal and these were people of conscience and he was somebody who you know you went about he would teach he would teach voluntarily he would do all his uh he was very generous with his time with his knowledge and in fact there's a

must he's somebody who would not take a reward when teaching and that's you know that goes to show you know that's a testimony to his character and there is a masala in fact known as can you take a can a person take money for teaching and um and and you find uh Jose on that stance that no he's discouraging of it will you find on the other side there are people like Imam Malik who was uh you know who said that that was fine and and many of the Malik is even encouraged things like that but but you see this difference

um going on but one of the interesting things about him as well was he was he's very committed to the study of Hadith and Sunnah so he was dedicated to Hadith Sunnah in that sense and he became very serious um in his uh day and age he he he wouldn't laugh much he wouldn't crack jokes um he wouldn't do things like um although they say he used to before he became very religious but he then kind

of um he wasn't as indulging he was more of a somber personality unlike people like Imam of hanifah who are very jovial very witty always cracking you know very loving humor sophiana thori surprisingly is paradoxical personality will have to cover him soon but he was always very um loved humor Imam Malik was I would say more often than not serious but did upon occasion in indulging jokes and humor and things like that but of that is probably on the far end of being very somber you know it wasn't really didn't

like to mix that up and and he would um yeah but in his lifetime he started to gain this acceptance and he and like I mentioned the authorities Maya did they liked him they took a Fascination for him and they say he had a soft spot for Bonnie Omega but umaya do give him a certain um they gave him a certain amount which is a certain amount of land they had donated to him which he had and he would use that for obviously to survive and

food there were endowments so you basically have the crops and sell the crops and it's like basically an annual source of income this is how it worked in the past by the way so how did these people used to survive is they would have endowments so somebody would give them an endowment give them a piece of land now then what they would do is get some workers that would work on it and the workers would be given a portion of the crops so let's say they said let's say this I don't know it produced um I don't know let's say that they had a certain

whatever and it was going to sit in crops and they would have produced something like uh let's say 20 or 50 tons of wheat or 20 tons of wheat now what would happen is the workers that they would use they would often say to them that look well okay at the end of the year we will your allowance will be let's say one ton or two tons of these will be your allowance and then the rest uh what they would do is they would keep a certain amount themselves let's say they kept a few tons for themselves or whatever it was for which would last them a year and they would retain it in the granaries

and they would keep a certain amount to trade off and then they would sell the rest so they've got money coming in and then every year the crops will reproduce and regenerate so you you've got money every single year that's how it worked in the past in case you're wondering how did these people used to how did these make a living you know before this world of services now all we do is sell services in the west yeah so that was uh but he was somebody that took things very um

you know he he took things very serious seriously and almost quite um personally I think like that maybe he was more sensitive than you'd imagine and this could be part due to his upbringing as an orphan and all of that undoubtedly ties into his personality but he would take things sometimes quite personally and they say um Ibrahim um you know who's a famous I walked past one day and saw him with in this circle in this

Gathering and he's got all these people uh wrapped around him and as in you know they're encircling him and he's teaching and he's giving his circles and his live streams and and as he walks past uh Ibrahimovic says um he looks at his Circle so he notices Ibrahimovic kind of says something and walks off he says

you're naughty naughty you know sometimes they I don't know whether they're teasing or what but the top of Hayne had a much greater personality of teasing by the way they were much more uh relaxed and and humorous and witty Than People assumed then those who came after them which which is telling you know that speaks volumes so he said that oh you know if only such a Circle of Knowledge like this was forever

what does he mean by that now that that's exactly like is that is that a dis and so it kind of sounds like it's this it kind of sounds like he's saying that ah you know even about didn't have this many people around him like you must be something special but it seems like he's saying it in a sarcastic way so of that I got up and just walked off and this he took it personally you know personally he was uh somebody like that that would take things uh quite personally actually yeah and he um speaking of that there's

a narration that he got into a debate so he got into a debate with um sophiana thori this one time and they're in Makkah and they get into this debate and sophiana thori says um so they were they're at the outskirts I mean they're in Makkah but outside of the Haram and ozai comes there and he uh he kind of like he's he meets Sofia he gets off and ah you know sophiana thought and they and then no sooner than they know it you know it turns into a little debate and sophiana thought he

says no it's not like that it's like this and and he and he gets worked up those ideas he says well no he says it is like this and and I think as well that he may have been somewhat you know some of these great imams and great Scholars of Islam I think they may have been somewhat more uh on slightly and not in a bad way I don't mean this in in any kind of but slightly more on the Spectrum than your regular people maybe not like full so what what's the word nowadays like neurodivergent yeah so they would have been slightly

maybe neurodivergent than other people because their behavior seems to reflect and their attitude and the way they would get sometimes the frustration would get them um so Imam was there when he's gets into this debate with sophiana tholi who's also one of the heavyweights of that time or that era uh and Savannah says it's not like so he gets all angry and he says I but I've said it and then he says to him you know what there is the Kaaba let's go annel time [Laughter]

we're going to basically take an oath of like we're gonna take a a an oath of Lana of curse and Damnation upon us if we're wrong like we both do and we see like nupta Hill like come on let's let's go Neptune yeah like let's go take mobile like we're gonna take an All-Star if I'm not right May the curse of Allah be upon me

just kind of smiled and laughed and he said it's not that deep it's okay and and then but what's fascinating is that as Jose gets up and you know mounts his horse again sophiana thori takes the the reign of the horse and he he straightens the kind of the the shoe uh clip of his feet are and then takes the the horse and leads it in and says to people make way make way you know uh he says you know he clears the

the thing as he's leading the horse in and he says that this is uh Imam Allah see there there was a a dignity there was uh you know there was an honor in their descents when they disagreed and it is really so fascinating to learn from and yeah so you do find these debates did happen and and there's a famous One transmitted by where Jose debates

and they I was there he approaches and he says to him that you know what's this you don't do roughly you think and you can see mammals that he's temperamentalized it's like very he gets he gets agitated by certain things and he said uh what's this you don't do roughly a thing and Imam said well it hasn't been soundly established and

and I was there he says really he says that he did roughly then so he reads the chain says okay he says that game we can play Two Can Play That Game so Imam says okay says

well that the prophet sallallahu did not do it [Music] so whoa so I'm sorry he gets you know he would get see one thing is he would get uh quite agitated on certain artists so he's he gets agitated

was a great lead he is such a he had such a witty and funny personality and teasing personality about him he would often tease people and and crack jokes and very witty jokes often wind them up so he gets all worked up yeah he does the this is Imam behani for doing the the Uno a reverse card on him so he gets worked up and Emmanuel says he says what he says mother says what is this

he says he says he says I told you from herb from sirling from this according to some by the way is the golden chain right cause I told you I give you zohari from Salim salim's the son of abnormal he says I give you from Salem sorry from Zuri from Salim from Ibraham and you quote me Hamada Ibrahim [Music]

he says that he says what what the hell is this so they say Abu hanifa says to him said to him that he said he said what's wrong with that this is kind of just laid back and he just kind of swivels his chair he's like it's like what's wrong with that he says Hamad is he says

Hamad is more knowledgeable than zohari and and he says in Ibrahim is more knowledgeable Ibrahim then Salim Salim is one of the Madina by the way seven Scholars and he says he says is no less than IBN Omar but IBN Omar is a sahabi so we respect the sahiba without a doubt he says these are some the turbain of Iraq he

says he says he says he says everybody knows and he says he says foreign so this this is one of the famous uh narratives which goes to show the ideology of madhubs and how they preferred Regional scholarship and they gave them according to their worldview they had gave preference and it did not mean that they did not know

Hadith but that they viewed Hadith differently but here in this instance they say ozai stormed off he stood up and he was angry yeah [Laughter] just smiled there was something but you know they they why wow but these people they had they had something about them you know they say that um you know when all of these uh gathered so yeah

he says I that he transmits from Malik Imam Malik because you know all of these gathered in Medina they had they had a meeting all of them there was Imam Imam Malik sophiana the fantastic five people right so and they say that they asked Malik it's the mindi he says

and the person says I asked who did you find preponderating above them and they claimed that Malik said of that is and was unquestionably uh a legend of Islam he you know he he was somebody who was known by the way his appearance he would often dye his beard he would use kind of color um so you know this what we call mendi

ohena in in Arabic uh this coloring people use a very like a gingery bright red but it does come in black or in brown forms as well which is most likely the kind that they use they used the darker types not the gingery you know you have some people they dye their beard with uh Mandy red I'm not saying that's wrong that's fine that's the true you're allowed to do it but the Mandy that the the classical people used in Arabia and in the Middle East was the most like there was one

that was close to Black like from a fight looked almost black but when you came close it was very dark brown they used that and there's one that was just a medium brown uh medium to dark brown that kind of they used uh more often than not although there is the red one as well that is very popular in India Pakistan so yeah and you know there's a very um fascinating um story really that you know when the Abbasid took over they came and they uh you know you had

uh after life blood sugar they say he killed anything a generous figure is like 30 000 people on average they say anything between 50 to 80 000 people the day he entered Damascus he was known as the one who sheds blood and he it was him who established the dollar the Abbasid Dynasty huh and you know when he came and he took over and he killed all these people and he announced himself as the new

that I am here Allah [Laughter] the people I is me and I me and myself are finally here and all of you are going to now deal with these multiple personalities [Laughter] so far so when he was doing that they say in in the coming days as he was uh as the dust was settling

he somebody mentioned to him like he's he said that nobody would ever Dare Challenge what we've done like islamically what we've done is right so somebody said to him well there is somebody and he said who and he said ausai here so now people came to hausa he said you know

you might as well do one time to run because Safa has invited you and his invite is not the type you want to go to so and you see oh that he was known for a soft spot with the bunny Omega and this is probably why um you see when you always liked uh uh of that that it's not surprising that his students then ends up in andalus and the

early mother of the andalusi bani Omega is actually the mother of ozai it's only maybe a century into it or something that they um formally adopt the method of Imam Malik and then for the remaining 700 years it's really just you know Imam Malik's mother but prior to Imam Malik's mother when those people first get in and Conquer and set up alandalus it is and they have with them the student they invite Salam who's the student of all because they loved ozer I was very you

know he he was seen he did have a soft spot uh for them as well but he was somebody very straight he wasn't this wasn't about favoritism for whatever reason he must have seen you know whatever he's he's working out was but he must have seen them for who they were so yeah now of that he's been invited to Allah

this is like you know if any of you are daunting to go to the dentist this is not like that this is like that 100 x you know to the power of a hundred because this is a one-way ticket what I'd say is if you're going to meet Safa I wouldn't advise starting any you know new TV series or anything because you're not going to get to realize How It Ends I wouldn't bother filling out the rest of the week's planner really um I wouldn't bother [Laughter]

so he turns up to uh to the courtyard is there and Jose he says you know when he's walking in by the entrance kind of hallway he there's a few dead bodies that they've killed that are dumped there they're waiting to you know the guards are so he has to step over these bodies to get in uh this is the this is the appetizer I hope you like it so he goes in

hmm so now that he's in there uh they ask him Safar says to him hmm Safa asks him he says he says yes and you know how that it goes in wearing this fresh soap and an imama prepared for death this is a suicide mission he is euthanizing himself euthanizing himself this is this is what it is

he's going in with the intention he's not coming out alive today so he goes in and he's he stands before him so far says looks at him and he says Jose he says yep he's probably thinking what is this what is this thing I've just killed 50 000 people so he says and you can see for intimidation I say intimidation but it was actually probably for for truth they have the there's a guy with a sword standing

there and they have the the kind of they would have this thing called anata which was like uh almost like a rug they would lay out the rug and then they would chop the head off so it would just contain some of the blood um so they've got the nutter you know if you were lacking motivation that is is the pre-workout drink they're like don't worry her so he says to him what do you say about our Affair our doing now what do you have to say about us

and what we've done here looks at him and he says he said the messenger of Allah said that actions are by intentions Manawa says each shall have what he intended says I have nothing more to say I like it I like it huh

Safa is like yeah playing that game let's make it more specific and listen zero in zero in so he says more specifically what do you have to say about the people I've killed hmm well that's gonna be a Clash loggerheads so Isis

he says sorry and no sorry not sorry but he says such and such person has transmitted to me from such and such person from such and such person from foreign the Great grandfather of Abdullah

he says he has narrated to me from IBN Abbas that the messenger of Allah said that the blood of a Believer cannot be shared except for the crime or so on and so on and then he just says well check see because here is Safa is so fast blood is boiling it's boiling but you see what he said people are listening he's saying

I'm not saying this no no no it says saying it from the prophet not any companion your great granddad is saying this from the prophet acha so the far is a bit snookered he's like um [Laughter]

he says acha he says but what about this wealth this wealth I've taken is it not is it haram I was there he says if it was Haram in their hands it doesn't suddenly turn halal it remains Haram I guess you see the beauty and because by adverse if it was Halal in their hands

then it's definitely in your hand but if it was Haram with them it Still Remains Haram with you [Music] he says well if it's Haram in their hands I guess it's always Haram isn't it here so far is like you know to Game Killer this is uh so he says to him look

right he says look listen it says enough of this us seizing the rulership the caliphate is this not wasiah see now here because the Abbasid rose on the back of the Shia movement they were Shia you have to remember this people forget that the abbasids were Shia it's later they diverged to blend into a greater Sunni Islam

the initials Abbasid movement was Shia politically not ideologically but politically Shia so he says look listen is this not overseas is this not something that was written for us fought over this so we can have it what do you have to say to that

so he says I said I said if that was the case then why would Harley have been pleased with the takim you know the takim is when he the the hakamane was when Ali and had a truce and they said look we'll just have two arbitrators two Arbiters and they can judge and Ali accepted it now he says

if this was something that Ali was or making sure that people got through him then he would never have accepted an arbitration now he says I heard that I said that and then I removed my imama thinking you know I'm gonna let them get a clean chop of my neck uh over and done with that he's like I've had enough to say I've I've said what I could say and now I guess I know how the film ends from here he said I took off my imama and he said and the people around me

held back their clo cloaks and cloths because they knew some blood was gonna come splashing now and he says I said that and Safar was just flabbergasted and he just froze in his you know just he just it's like there was a glitch in The Matrix

and he seemed to just appear confused and Aussie says in that moment you know this is it you see courage doesn't have to always rule but Allah sees it he says the Divine help descended that some people he says this this Aid came in and said something to Safar about something that has and Safar then became distracted and said oh is it

and he gets up and there's some subtle subtle commotion and in that commotion people started to move and he says and I realized oh I'm still alive he said he was waiting with his armama for his head to be chopped off and it hadn't and he says I just saw this as my sign I put the imama on and he says and I just walked my way out of the palace and I was gone he says I was gone like the wind and he says and I left town and I went and he saw uh you know he had some sanctuary

and but wow you know this was the legend of but he continued you know after Safar the leadership starts calming down its approach and it reaches people like who are very you know very politically sassy and a Savvy sorry and they're very mild and they're very they're now Sunni Sunni Muslims they're not uh even openly Shia anymore so or not even politically Shia so he tries to offer

wealth and position but of that he refuses it he wasn't um interested but as such were these people Allah Allah and he he passes away in the year 157 hijri and he uh passes away in Beirut he um from his some some opinions by the way that he had left behind from his first were that were practiced in parts of Spain as well that he had certain

opinions like um some were about decorative and even agriculture within the mosque was something that was based on ozai's understanding that you can do that and it's healthy and the people that come to pray can eat the oranges and eat stuff and this was practiced in Muslim Spain within the courtyard of mosques but it was actually based on his mother another fascinating ruling that he had was that the apostate it was Halal to eat their meat the not their actually but the the biha so if an apostate sacrificed an animal you can eat that

animal that was an interesting uh opinion he had as well and the aura you know the the aura that does a person does a man have to cover the thigh and this is a huge debate because the Maliki and everybody debate this so he had it was of the understanding it was only in a mosque that you cover it out of etiquette otherwise outside the mask it's not an order it's not something that must be covered he was married of naturally as most people then would have been and his wife's name was joeria and he and she was

the I believe the the the Widow of Abdullah or the divorcee I think the Widow of so it married her and had several children with her and his uh his kind of more popular child was Muhammad that kind of continued to teach in his legacy after him and um you know what's interesting I'll tell you something that's fascinating you know in his time I mentioned he was somebody known for standing up for the rights of people and you see this that when he died when

Jose died in 157 history uh uh he his janasa was so well participated and observed that countless Christians and Jewish people came out to his janaza he's one of the only imams in Islamic history who countless Christians participated and observed his janaza and Jews as well but especially Christians and the story behind this is he was actually given the title nasara somebody interest the intercessor for

Christians and that is because see what had happened is in uh's time there was an Insurgency in Lebanon there was a Christian settlement obviously there's still Christian till today uh many people in Lebanon and there was this uh Uprising that you had between some Christians some zealots and they kind of had this militant Uprising and so what happened abujah obviously he crushed the uprising but then he made a point that he was going to crush

the entire Christian settlement in that part of Lebanon and he declared that every Christian must move migrate from there or he will have them killed there's no because as far as he was concerned the uprising the the group the militant group that rolls for the Insurgency came from that area so it was Collective guilt so he said I don't give a damn that these people are they all once he'd crushed it he said I'm gonna raise that whole ground that whole town to the ground that they have so many days to leave and anybody left there I will kill them

like the the armies are just so what had happened uh so wasn't the Christians until the majority in charm at the time uh yeah they may have been in certain parts in certain parts but not so in this particular part that we're speaking about uh there was there were many Muslims around this was a particular town that was Christian so they were you're right in several other parts of sham they were Christian dominated but this particular town that was Christian um because the Insurgency came from the Abuja for Mansour was adamant to just he wanted that he held the whole town

responsible and he said that they should all die or they can run and obviously they didn't want to so um Jose Rose in their defense and he stood his ground and he's he he went up and he was firm and he said this is Haram that he would die defending them that you cannot he said put the guilt of Affair a small group on the entire settlement he said that these people are innocent

that they have through Allah in his messenger they have a man they have security to live there and that this would be a violation it would be going against a line his message and he stood his ground till the end he pushed him on it he wasn't he was adamant but then he realized that we're gonna have to kill Jose to kill them and you know this will just cause too much chaos like he wasn't you know still early days in Abbasid time and that's a huge uh you know he's a huge Sunni scholar

um you know one of the major mahadis in Islam at the time you know you're going to kill him it could cause like you don't know how the reaction would be So eventually just you know he relented and the Christians they loved ozai for this that till the death he was prepared to uh you know he said that this is hak and I would stand with the Huck and this is why he was known as shaffir al-nasara and on his death on his uh his funeral uh obviously was massively observed by Muslims but countless Christians turned up

countless Christians that he it was he was probably the only Imam in Islam to have had his janaza observed by so many Christians so wow so that was something really fascinating about him um his his I'll leave you with a final anecdote when he passed away he passed away in the year 157 uh hijri he was actually he died in accidental death and bachara was killed accidentally by his wife it's not a laughing matter but so his

wife joydia she so you know back then they had these saunas these kind of intense saunas that they would take but they were almost like airtight very very little ventilation was in some of them the way they were built with stone you see so nowadays the building would Warden uh but built with stones or some rooms they had very little uh ventilation so what they would do is they would go inside and this was a big thing in the cell of era they would love going to these kind of like Turkish hamam kind of saunas and some people had their own private ones and so he had his own private little sauna so so you you went

in there a small little room and so he's gone in there and he's uh is taken in this huge this thing with fire obviously as it generates all this heat and and his wife accidentally locked the door from outside like she didn't realize that he was inside and she thought she was going past the thing and he was just quiet obviously and she thought oh that's open so she locked it and just put the lock on and he couldn't escape

honestly and they say he just kind of eventually just gave up and he and because it was far out it was slightly out it wasn't by the main settlement nobody could hear him so then they say he just faced he lay down faced the Qibla put one arm under as a pillow and just lay there and just and in that he passed you know may Allah have mercy on him and bless his afterlife and and really um Inspire us with his legacy and the legacy of others but wow huh she can she killed off an entire Imam and a mother

oh my God that's uh and she was actually given the fatwa by one of the imams at the time that she gives that she buys a slave and frees it as a kind of you know as the kafara for manslaughter that you free a slave so so she did she did obviously she was gutted but wow she just killed and you know what what the abbasids couldn't do [Laughter] ah see

that was a devoted woman [Laughter] she was like she goes she goes yeah he goes huh leaves the thing unlocked you know when they're devoted and Keen to help that's when it that's when you've got to be weary so vichari killed off little did she know that she stopped an entire method

oh it was uh it was it was by accident may Allah bless her afterlife I mean so I wanted I thought let's share that with you guys so somebody wrote somebody wrote known oh yeah some wives kill you slowly normally you know it's that clip that he just thought you know what um let's just take this opportunity and go it's like I've you know I don't know how much more I can put up with of this

woman I think this is an easier way out so a lot uh God but imagine that though the dread she's like well all right gather round children I've got some news so uh your father accidentally locked himself inside the sauna and uh yeah really um bad one really um

oh God now may Allah have mercy on all these people but I remember reading that is so hilarious I mean it's not it's not a funny incident but it's it's ironically humorous like the punchline of it is is funny may Allah bless us all amen and bless especially these wives that are so devoted and Keen to help next time they might want to open the door and just look inside that nobody's there and then think okay cello now

we'll lock the door somebody said kids my bad [Laughter] and then she said good news is guess who's got the sauna all to themselves yeah yeah that's great yeah that's great that's great

God oh yes alarm let's let's take a look at so that was uh the legend of Islam people I okay whoa is that the this is his uh his place his his kind of Memorial uh site in Beirut and a poem by him

Allah said a grave site that we are but exactly like them except we still remain like we remained yet for a short while and they set off before us wow Allah Allah all right so yeah guys you know it is getting quite late whoa it is quite late you know what let's wrap this up it's been awesome as always um somebody asked the question can I buy

Imam Malik's Madonna in English it's a good question I think some of it has been translated in English I'm pretty sure some of it has um try I mean try I don't know Googling see if anything comes up but cool other than that it's been it's been good it's been Sensational and emotional Allahu Akbar and inspiring being online with you guys tonight so yeah somebody said Pakistan uh yeah very briefly it's terrible what

they're doing to Imran Khan and I really do make Dua that may Allah you know give him strength and steadfastness may Allah enable some um restoration of success really to Pakistan I mean and you know may Allah enable him to come back with a sweeping victory and to build that country with a better future it's shocking that you know if you look at Imran Khan even though as

hurdled as his rule was for those few years before he got ousted Pakistan was at I think six percent GDP it was the highest in decades despite kovid I mean that's the data speaking for itself and it's crazy what they're doing and um you know they're trying to forcibly arrest him and and shelling his home with you know tear gas and all this stuff and he's got a picture of all the and I really commend the spirit and the strength of those um you know The Unsung really soldiers

true true soldiers of Pakistan not the Army but the but the true soldiers are those the the public that are standing you know risking their own lives and well-being just for a vision you see nobody they don't have anything to gain from it but it's a vision it's for freedom Pakistan and may Allah bless Imran Khan seriously I I'm just absolutely I abhor I can't stand this you know this Sharif family

and the politics that they do and even the you know the Pakistani army leadership that are so corrupt and meddling in all these Affairs it's just it's a shame because really most of the army of Pakistan it's people that love the country just as the people do and to have that much corruption at that at that level it's like wow but yeah we make Dua I mean I mean people with that I'll wrap this up um have you watched the recent

debate between Javed Hashmi and Shadi Shadi no I I haven't I've got to still watch that is it good I hope it is I've got to still watch it but yeah guys let's wrap this up oh and um some people had mentioned somebody for the Mind Trap something I think there was a comment you know if there's anybody that you feel is good or interesting let's um just reach out to them if they're interesting and interested then just let me know you can message me and to reach out to me Instagram is obviously the place if you're not already subscribed to my YouTube do so people spread the
