vsi very fond of bam Vari you know and he has this line I mean he has many but this one where he says um and he's a great Sufi Mystic of the Indian subcontinent pre you know he was still I guess the uh British Raj during his time he says

[Laughter] right so we've got salams from flooded Dubai Allah make it easy for you guys yeah and you know whoever is going through any difficulty and We Begin by always trying to make for for the suffering you know Allah make things easy for them there is it's a shame you know it's more than a shame

the heart there's only so much that well words truly fail their ability to be expressed Allah make it easy for the people of Gaza honestly I can't understand how a world watches a genocide in real time and by the world I mean I don't mean people like you and me nobodies but I mean the

Shakers and movers the people the you know the what we say in Arabic these people and I you know the and and in light of that what has been going on you know a lot has been going on as well I mean this this whole kind of this spot with Iran but at least I commend Iran honestly Iran has played a very um strategic move and it says something because it is

the only country that struck Israeli soil and you know needless to say all the other coward States turkey amongst the leaders of cowardice and you know it's not even really about these countries it's the fact that it clearly is a NY NY world isn't it and all of these other countries are in it for their for their for themselves and and that that goes without say I mean everybody's in it for

themselves but you know to some extent there ought to be some solidarity some assistance some help but kah you know kah UAE you know leading Hypocrites Jordan Sal you know what kind of a I mean you know his story seriously that that of his ancestors the the the hashemites from the sharifs of Makkah

you know Makkah had almost a thousand years of shfa to end with Hussein Ali the the the sellout and namuna you know this this fool that you that the British placed in he's not from Jordan people that don't know his family are from mecah they're from Saudi the British just placed them the British tried to split up you know they wanted to place one in Saudi one in Jordan one in

Iraq the Saudi one what the Saudi plans they realized okay you know there's some problem with this Saudi thing you know why because the uh Sharif Hussein started to uh make demands you know you know this love of this doesn't really leave the hearts so he wanted to reflect on a Nostalgia of Malik

I'm not just Malik King I'm King of the Arabs you know the days before Islam that Malik he was trying to lean in on that history obviously the British thought AA so they thought you know this could be a problem yeah honestly the British ah you know it just goes to show but in recent times now the this fake veneer of humanism has been removed

in you know on the global Arena the global Horizon they've lost this the West has lost its kind of fake love for uh and maybe it was sincere at a certain point maybe it was but now it is on fake this this humanism that they had this love for Humanity this human rights Charter for you know this uh leading the world on they've lost it now you know now it's just fake whether it was always fake most likely maybe in between there were patches of

sincerity but now it is but just fake but at that time the British viciously were placing these puppets and what they uh they realized that the makan one might be an issue so they replaced him with a different puppet you know what it was his problem was he was a Sharif and they realized that uh they've realized um that this one might cause a problem because you see because Saudi not so much because of the puppet but because

of the place m Medina and the love in the hearts of the Muslims for that so what if this fool who's already stabbed the other Muslims in the back tries to for this fake Nostalgia Mal Mal not just not just his little his little acre but the whole of Arabs so what if he tries to Bell and rise in some sorts and Muslims you know otherwise may not bat an eyelid to him

but because he's a Sherif from the alleged offsprings of the prophet he might catch some attention so they thought you know what we'll do even though he's a sellout to them they thought what we'll do is we'll get another sellout but one of a low we you know low cast you know what what did am say his dialogue about so so they got Muhammad Abdul

wahab his crew you know the the kingdom of sod the kingdom of sod was to be formed so they got ABD they got him to kill that Sharif and placed him there and then the Fate that met the sharifs of Iraq was a terrible fate you know I don't wish that on anyone but it was horrible obviously they were they were massacred they the whole family men women

children but this but this country Jordan remains and and all the the Muslims you know these countries it is it is all NYY I understand that I don't blame people for NY but some Humanity you know some compassion you know K you know that the needs to be something man you know there's that Allah

you know there that you know you have to this D is finite [Music] and the good news is that Israel is abysmally losing its Act of tyranny and you know there was this the in the in the UN a vote for Statehood for Palestine which America the you know the the

OD of our age it vetoed as an act of tyranny and we we all witness this but you know this is Allah says in the Quran and no matter how big and powerful people may seem if they persist in

Injustice Allah will destroy them and America this is the destruction of America has already begun you know America is so you know religiously trying to hide its failures people don't realize how much the dollarization of America in 2023 has cussed the American power of polarity America is no longer it is but just a shadow of what it

was and surprisingly what is emerging is Russia as a huge superpower I mean much more powerful than I mean the predictions are that Russian economy will be within the next couple of years one of the most leading power I mean it already was a powerful Power Player but it's going to beat that of the American industry I mean that at the at the the predicted trajectory as it's going just because of the amount of people now trading in the ruble globally and the way Russia has positioned itself with its allies that

of China that of Iran that of uh and the UK like a you know just just like the lap dog of the states what use is that you know the state's unfortunately sinking so it is interesting to see what Iran did though really uh did it was intriguing because um you know when it struck the ebase and it struck Israel you see what people don't

realize is the message that it gave you see it gave by some reports half a day if not up to two you know two to three days of warning that we are about to strike so what that did was it allowed and they did this on purpose why so one uh Israel can remove all its personnel and people say well oh that's a cheap shot that's a cheap shot you know they should have killed them but Iran wasn't trying to kill Israeli Personnel what it was

trying to do was Flex its muscles so it gives them plenty of warning warning for what to prepare its air defense uh mechanisms the Iron Dome the David sling but to call up America us defense was ready and waiting the UK defense was ready and waiting France defense was ready and waiting Jordan the usel useless was ready in waiting all of these countries including

Israel which has has the most fortified air defense region per capita in the world so the world's most defended airspace in those moments in the world was ready and with ample warning so Iran began its layered multi-layered approach first with these slow drones and then with missiles and then with its third attempt and it didn't

even arguably I mean there's debate on whether they released the Hypersonic missiles uh many reports saying they didn't even release the Hypersonic missiles yet they just released the ballistic missiles and with the aim the main trajectory main target was to attack that base amongst some other places which they destroyed as well that base why because that base was only something like I think less than 20 kilomet from a nuclear base it was a Strategic Air

Base and despite the fact that Iran is sorry Israel is fully alert the US is protecting it UK is protecting it France is protecting it Jordan is protecting it they still struck meaning to say that is to say that with such notice we can still penetrate and reach our Target what do you think it would be like if we were to do this without

notice he noty noty so they were very successful you know in what they did they basically did what the you know many centuries ago there was the sect which was also a Shia sub Shia sect known as the hashashin I don't know if those of you have heard of them they

were from that kind of region back then as well maybe more so from the Lebanon but that Iranian that this part of the world the hashashin were a ruthless sect of Assassins which is where the word assassin comes from in English because they became ruthless ass if they put their eyes on someone and they would assassinate them so there was a moment where I mean there was an episode where they threatened one of the uh Kings the Abbasid Kings in their time and what

they did was they left a dagger in his bed with a note and the note read that if this can reach your bed it can reach your back [Laughter] K I like it I like it huh that was a Nutty nuty one right there because that to be honest that that is quite terrifying as a threat if this can reach your bed it can reach your back and

that's essentially what Iran did with the with this move and then following that now there's been this Tit for Tat uh where Israel shot some drones and they shut them down and and I think that's possibly the end of that now but you know we make Dua Allah destroy these tyrants and this tyranny rid this world of this tyranny I mean and help the people of Gaza you know W

he us as just Spectators I feel most Muslims are experiencing secondary trauma and that is a thing secondary trauma you know by being exposed to such realities on the ground through social media and then being helpless so we make Dua a mean a mean right let's um go on to some

[Music] um all right some thoughts some questions what is I can bring on some I thought that they would be uh all right Allah Allah

ah yeah yeah that that's true it's very fascinating actually the history of the sharifs and what happened and how he backstabbed you know how he stabbed the Ottomans in the back and that's not to say the Ottomans were some angels but it's fascinating you know betrayal huh betrayal Allah Allah and what's interesting is uh Sultan Abdul Hamed went to meet him and a few years before and asked him that you know just to and he had this promise of solidarity that you know we've got your back

yeah what was that that's true this is this is what seems to have happened there but that's politics and history what's been going on folks how have you all been keeping Allah bless you all you know I've been having some thoughts on uh somebody asked me a question I don't know Ahmed Huli I'm not sure who he is actually not sure who that is but shukran RAR you know I've been having

some thoughts on all of uh if AR [Music] is and Onan psychoanalysis and it's just so fascinating where Lan meets is much more than just you see it encompasses

the imaginary it encompasses the imaginary order of leanian psychoanalysis the symbolic order it encompasses the unconscious mind it encompasses the collective unconscious it encompasses what we call psychosocial realities it encompasses the you know uh Ferdinand soio linguistic realm it

encompasses in physics what may be the you know the bulk to uh or sorry what we are the bulk to the boundary so you know the boundary which also translates as the Barak which it encompasses also the Barak so harabi was really just so ahead of his time honestly and it's truly fascinating why he was called Akbar because he really was speaking of

things that for centuries Humanity would not really elaborate on as a discourse I mean Humanity as a whole as broader Sciences so yeah it's just really intrigues me wow and I'm trying to you know I've been working mentally with the leanian uh the imaginary order the symbolic order and the real and I'm trying to work these into the imaginary being

this the symbolic being this this overlap and the and the real I'm trying to work that does it work into Al but the the mirroring of alh the the potential does that work h

so that this is something I've been kind of grappling with in recent days mentally just seeing that that how does that you know I feel that the the you know almost in what laan called the BR Boman knot this kind of Ven diagram if you like of these three but then Al and I feel it's aptly named see is the imaginary order and is the

symbolic and the real does translate as alh and it's crazy because you see the real would give rise to this yearning this kind of this this Restless yearning which is our yearning for the Divine but

that if we see in that this echo of this unfulfilled desire because the the real do you see what we desire the the the very cause of Yearning is that yearning the object of it can never be truly attained you can never attain the object of your desire like I mean you can but then

the all that would happen is you would dismiss it and want a different object do you understand understand so you know it's like it's that you know that hi was in the you know that hi was sh that it is always something that one can never truly capture because if if you capture

it you immediately lose interest in it you see because that is what that yearning is and in a way you see humans can never truly know Allah we can by some proximation we can have some knowing which we think is a knowing but that is of our imaginary and symbolic realm and this world which is this kind of

manifestation of them but with matter now we and there there is this this real which we by which we try to know Allah but Allah truly in his his his essence his essential reality of Al can never be known like we will it is forever an unfulfilled Love Story We could never

because if it was fulfilled it would fail so it needs the learning must persist so for that to happen one could never

truly you know in the word of truly miring Al one could never truly come to know Allah but except through our worldly ways so we can use the word truly from our worldly perspective which is the imaginary the symbolic this sense this creature sense which is enough for us but because we never in alak's perspective from Allah's perspective never truly

grasp Allah or know him we will forever yearn to know him which keep keeps that Divine love story and our yearning going which keeps us going so it is actually a success so I was just thinking about that you know I was thinking to myself that because you know when I was discussing before Ramadan actually

with you know I've realized I'm lacking energy today they have not eaten right so I was discussing with SH that and he and he mentioned this point that that the tragedy is that we will never truly that insan can never truly know

Allah like we can know him from our perspective and in that is a tragedy and I was thinking you know and that was in the back of my mind and but then I felt H actually that is a strength because that is what keeps the yearning so yeah these thoughts have been preoccupying my mind recently right I miss some super chats let me go back to them and I

apologize shim wow is your name shim wow that is epic love you Muti Allah bless you I love you too y thank you so much for clearing up many misconceptions I think I had before discovering Allah bless you am mean let's you know we're all we're all on this journey together honestly uh may Allah bless you and your family a mean Allah bless you too and keep you always smiling a

mean there's a lot of questions here I'll try to take some of them any thoughts on the work of Krishna morti right shukran for the Super Chat Allah bless you um I've right I've not I've come across some works of Krishna morti and you know that they speak of I mean they very you know they are part of that order that was found

in you know the the mid late 20th century about reconnecting with that spiritual ual self and I've watched a few of his lectures where he speaks about that I haven't really seen as many to be able to comment strategically your so the stuff I did here you know was good was about just reconnecting with a spiritual self and you know that that kind of

universality of spiritualism but I you know I haven't seen enough of his stuff to comment or elaborate on it I think people that that I have seen that may be on the back of that he did actually praise uh Idris sha actually and and I must say I do admire uh quite a few lectures of adisha every now and then I'll listen to some it is definitely is uh an interesting voice I do like that and it's a shame really that these people disappeared

because sha was that Islamic voice that was you know that would would have been Junior to people like Krishna morti I mean Junior I mean in a chronological sense not necessarily in teachings but and contemporary to that of Alan Watts and so you had these voices which definitely I mean Alan wats is is very profound and I've uh you know benefited from a lot of his his lectures but the Muslim parallel would have been IDR sha so yeah and you know the Hadith says

that that a word of wisdom is truly the Lost Property of a Believer wherever he finds it you know wherever you find wisdom take it don't be insecure it doesn't mean if a wise person says something that you all of a sudden follow you know it's not don't be so reductionist in your seeking of wisdom wherever you find it take it a wise word is the property of a

Believer Daniel Mahmud uh of the thank you to encourage many to use reason falling in love with the dean the irrational Parts kept in over time Allah bless you it's so true this de of ours is one of ease and reason make no mistake about that honestly do not let um you know I get you know there's people of I feel we can place people into different if we were let's say of categories

and you know that there is a category of people who to them faith is simply that of devote and these are not mutually exclusive but let's say this category of people is to them faith is ex it is simply a devotional act so it's not about the learning or the or the theory or the philosophies of Islam or the concepts or the academics or the opinions or the you know the side

just isn't there for them I mean maybe occasionally they might learn something very basic about Islam but they content with just the devotion and that's wonderful in its own way you know that's and that's just because that's the people they are they are not people of the academic order they are not people of the philosophical order the order you know they are just people of devotion they pray Salah they fast Ramadan they go on Hajj they give in charity they work they live their lives

they may be businessmen they may be Tradesmen you know to them they're not so interested in you know you could speak about philosophy or logic or they're not interested you know to them Salah is just simply it is to the ritual and the devotion devotional and that's fine and that's them then there are people who are interested in Islam of the learning order they want to learn about Islam they want to you know that they they are of the

philosophical order of the academic order of the intellectual order within Islam to these people they they must it is not just devotion but that they must and and and these things are like a vent diagram they overlap so there may be people with both there may be people who are just exclusively of a philosophical order an academic order a um you know a theoretical order and they're not interested in the devotional side and that may be a very dry form of

Islam right but but there's an overlap and I I would add also of the mystical order that's a separate you know if there's these three that one may say really which is Iman Islam or one may say Islam Iman andan and so this academic philosophical theoretical order of Islam people who are interested in that they really need to understand and go

beyond you know just this and this the ofas is not one of irrationality now this theme is beautiful of the highest order in Beauty and irrational nonsense non sensibility is ugly to humans it is not

beautiful re rationality is beautiful we find irrationality stupid in this world as human beings we find it stupid we find it clumsy Allah is beautiful to the utmost unfathomable degree Allah is beautiful Allah is beauty

M Allah is categorical absolute Beauty and he loves beautiful things and irrationality is not beautiful rather it is ugly so it doesn't make sense that this theme would be irrational because then it would be an ugly thing and Allah is beautiful and loves Beauty in

things and what is more dear to Allah than this thing so It is incomprehensible that he would allow it to be irrational but sure in the minds of some it may be irrational parts of it parts of it so so to some people I think Muslims as a whole never believe that Islam I don't think any Muslims of any order believe that Islam is entirely irrational they actually argue that

Islam is rational but some Muslims argue that some of Islam may be irrational whilst other Muslims will argue that all all of Islam is rational because all of Islam is beautiful you see so yeah so that should really in and of itself give us our answer and I think maybe those that argue that some of Islam it's okay for some of Islam to be irrational that's because they are not

of a philosophical intellectual or academic order they are people who are more you know of a maybe of a lower to some extent they're of lower order that they are of that order but to a very lower degree and more so of the devotional side or a cultural side of Islam actually I wouldn't say cultural I would just say uh just of a lower order intellectual side so yeah but this you know we we can't even comprehend its

beauty that's how beautiful it is so yeah never let but I would say that not to waste time on arguing with people there's no good in arguing you know you know Imam Malik was asked once the legend you know the dawn of Medina Allah be pleased with him he was once asked that should we argue and he said no he said should we argue over the Sunnah you know what could be more precious to us as Muslims and he said he

said you he was asked that and he said he said just state it and move [Laughter] on yeah so yeah so that's what I would say find that a sizable chunk of Muslims either trained to be or inclined to behave like cult members that would be a shame that would be a shame um I'm

not I'm not so sure I think unfortunately there are many I don't if I wouldn't say most Muslims like that but I feel that there are unfortunately a reasonable number of Muslim I think what happens who do end up behaving like a cult Islam is not a cult and should never be treated or you know Muslims should never behave like they're in a cult um but what happens I'll tell you what happens is sometimes so you get the so you get the vast majority of Muslims do

not you know follow reformist groups the vast majority of Muslims are just Muslims and they they may fall into that devotional category of Muslim whether they are practicing or non practicing then you get Muslims who are practicing Muslims like they start trying to learn about Islam and and you see some of these fall victim to obviously many of them can fall victims to group think but their particular

denomination and the problem with this is that when something is challenged they don't know how to respond and they listen and they feel that I have to follow my sh or my particular group my sect my and if I don't it's you see because the problem often and this is the problem with you know sectarian denomination denominationalism is that it's it's like all in or all out the moment you disagree you get boycotted and and the problem with you

see this is why I always tell people to avoid sectarianism because the problem with sectarianism is when you get into it that becomes your Circle you know they become your friends they become the people you hang out with they become the people you go on family I don't know spaces to they become the people that are your every day then you know the panopticon effect takes place where when you disagree with them they boycott you but their boycotting you compromises your entire existence because then that that is your

world now that becomes the symbolic and imaginary psychosocial world that you inhabit you know they are the WhatsApp groups you're on they are the friends you meet they are the people you work with if that group then boycotts you your whole existence in your mind becomes sabotaged so this is why it's important to always broaden your horizons that remember to tomorrow even if this group is great and amazing tomorrow you may

change don't allow yourself to be held Ransom to group think ever I mean it's fine I get it but always you know never just you know in the Hadith the prophet said Allah when speaking and this this discussion was anchored in in the in the discussion of the mercy of God he said that you know you've taken something infinitely vast and you've narrowed

it and that's what can happen sometimes um Muhammad Omar faran uh yeah he decided to only publish some 100 in his M some of them he doesn't even follow and he writes his reason yeah yeah well you

[Laughter] see you should reach out to modern day debate and debate these so-call sunnis that do there's no good in debating people you know we you know we this this life of ours is is a it's a blip on a radar you know it is from the delusions of the ego that we think we are so

important you know me this Anna that I am something this I has to go we are on a journey the prophet said be in this world be look at this Hadith it begins with the word Kun be Kun is in the present it is the imperative command b

b you have the it's amazing even in English that e kind of it has that holotropic you know holotropic kind of psychedelic M effect this ringing be and and it's amazing that that is the the sound of Revelation as in sahkari this ringing of the bee of the bee sound although that's the bee the creature but this ringing is what the prophet said was the

the kind of auditory manifestation of Revelation when it would descend that be the prophet said be in this world as though you are a traveler that you're not even a traveler even that is an illusion I hi hi you know soip says that he he says

that this this kind of angst we feel that it is something it is a veil to something that something is Al the real but so be in this world as though you're a traveler does the traveler get caught up I mean he may be amused he may even take an interest as he as he passes by a town of the happenings in that town of the going on you know he may in

the moment even participate in the talk and the discussion but then as he's or she has rested they get up and move on Allah that is that is our reality of this D you know it's it's you know we're here as if we're here and then when we're gone it's as if we never never

were death huh death it's fascinating you know I was pondering over that verse you know death you know that a is fascinating because in Arabic it's often used for something with pleasure a tasting that has pleasure to it that's how it's often used in

Arabic even in uru Z and the people of or the mystics in Islam you know the suf Mystics they were called made me think that wow that maybe in that what we didn't notice is that may that there is this beauty in maybe the tasting of

death but it's hidden from us and the irony is that what the verse inadvertently is saying or is it saying that although yet Perhaps

not that not every soul truly tasted life this is what we're saying that maybe you know he says

that as that that life which never even it didn't even exist that's so it makes you think actually so what is this debating and all of these things wasting our these moments of this now that we do have wasting it on what you

know that's the thing you see that oh that poem actually ties in the of sik where he says that you know with a heavy heart we pass through this Garden you know that so many Rose Birds blossomed yet our Caravan did not stop we couldn't

we didn't enjoy it y Allah we didn't embrace it we didn't absorb it you know Sorrows calamities tragedies trauma pain sorrow distractions futility time wasting arguments hatred

anger you know that we pass through you know with a heavy heart Allah yet not every soul may taste life because you know life people remember something it is a necessary attribute of

who of God Allah is Al and is one of the necessary you know one of the seven that they will say the Cardinal or the the the categorical attributes of God hisat is the real our is just it is a manifestation a a a mirror of the ultimate so not each and every one of us

gets to taste it food for thought people Food For Thought philosophical know people you know Allah mhm Allah Allah Allah bless us all

man Allah bless us all it is you know it's it's the brutality of this world and I guess that's the you know Allah saying that he created that is I guess all of that you know it's because we are mirrors to the Divine potential we are Divine Expressions in this world of Allah's names and attributes using them and abusing

them trying to be Al we're trying to be these people you know be these these people that abuse use that that potential and punish people become tyrannical in our power we we try to be a manifestation of Al the name of Allah the powerful but we don't know how to reign in that

power that is it you know I guess that is it you know has that thing that that you know as we we take the guise of a poor person to see the theatricality of the people of generosity H the people of Karam and that is the Hadith that Allah says that had you fed the hungry person you could have

found me there Allah people I'm going to wrap this up today it's been oh wow I've got Salam from somebody M sad s Shi Allah bless you with your right guys I'm gonna wrap this up for today it's been a pleasure meeting with you all I will be back this week you know this last week I was Ill actually I'd been down with this bug and there's one going around and for a good few days I was KO so I couldn't
