The answer in brief

machinesummary, machine-written

Continue teaching and counselling, start some form of voluntary work in prisons for people abandoned by society, and pursue international projects once travel restrictions after his release allow.

In more detail

Finishing the account of his projects, Mufti Abu Layth says the school of Madinah's principles need to be incorporated for the deen to flow with people's lives. Asked about his next steps, he says he will remain involved in teaching and at times in counselling. Having spent some weeks in prison, he would also like to get involved in some way, even a small voluntary one, within prisons, since he saw so many people there abandoned by society, brushed off as criminals with nobody interested in offering assistance; he has a few ideas and would like to learn from American prison programmes [?] and start something here. He mentions international projects that had been planned, some in Germany, which are uncertain because of the travel restrictions following his release, and invites people with ideas to reach out if they want to get involved or want him involved.

com comfortability almost for people to embrace the Deen themselves and I'm talking about Muslims as well Muslims mainly that that they that they that the dean would become for them a way of life and I think for that like a something that would flow with their daily lives and for that to happen I think the the understanding or or the principles of the school of Medina have to be incorporated along the way but yeah so that's some of the the projects I've been involved in the next steps for myself are to remain involved in these type of projects that I've said to be uh teaching I am involved at times in

55:36

things like some counseling and stuff like this and to to you know to to kind of stay I suppose within that but I would also like to say that I would like to also get somehow involved in doing something even if it's a little something but within prisons uh having spent you know a short amount of time there good few weeks that we did I feel that it showed me that there's so many people in there that are unfortunately just abandoned by Society because they they

56:14

seem to have been brushed as just criminals and therefore nobody's interested in offering any assistance in doing something and even if it's on a small scale a voluntary scale or whatever is but I would like to and I'd also like to get ideas on what to do um so I've got a few thoughts a few ideas going on but I'd like to get involved in doing something I know that the Americans have got a good few projects going on uh things like prism blues and stuff like that's something I'd like to learn a bit about maybe we can benefit from some of those programs be but get something going here so that's really um the the plans for the future there

56:54

anything else interesting inshallah people can always reach out to me I am involved in um a few um what is it International there was some International upcoming projects there were meant to be some in Germany I'm still not too sure about obviously due to my release there's some restrictions on my travel for a few weeks and so I'm not sure how that's going to work out but we we had some type of projects coming up and so if people are interested in you know they've got ideas they want to get involved in something or they want us to get involved in something inshallah reach out I mean if it's possible of course absolutely it be a pleasure be it
